When Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes “finding solutions to real problems”, it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11-year-old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.
In just three months, Rao came up with a device（装置）that can replace the costly and lengthy tests currently
used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water. Inspired by the current litigation （诉讼）in Flint, Michigan, a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015, Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named
America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017.
Rao had been following the water problem for about two years. She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three
parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes（纳米管）
that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.
Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that the “purpose of science is to make a difference”, her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.
24. What do we know about Rao’s device?
A. It’s cheap and quick. B. It’s cheap and inaccurate.
C. It’s expensive and reliable. D. It’s portable and time-consuming.
25. What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?
A. Her parents’ suggestions.
B. The name of the Greek goddess.
C. Her interest in settling real problems. D. The water pollution litigation in Flint.
26. What do the carbon nanotubes function as? A. Sending immediate signals.
B. Recording the reaction results. C. Detecting the presence of lead.
D. Showing the water quality results.
27. What does the author think of Rao’s invention?
A. It will lead Rao to make a fortune.
B. It will help millions of Americans drink safe water.
C. It will promote the development of science in America. D. It will soon settle the lead-polluted problem thoroughly.

Imagine jet-setting from Tokyo to Paris, enjoying first-class travel, a four-course dinner and a city tour－all without leaving the ground. This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines, which has
used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations.
Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer, the baggage fees or busy airport terminal（航站楼）－and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first-class travel and an expensive tour of Paris－all while remaining motionless
in Tokyo. As well as Paris, First Airlines also offers the virtual destinations of New York, Rome and Hawaii.
After boarding, guests can settle down for the two-hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat－surrounded by decoration that is modeled on the inside of an aircraft, for maximum realism. There is flight service and VR, foods,
music for every destination. Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards, alongside drinks and other desserts. The menu depends on the destination of choice－Manhattan clam chowder and cheesecake for New York and salmon tartar and onion soup for Paris. After landing at the destination, guests can enjoy a 360-degree tour of the destination－all thanks to projection（投影）mapping and video.
It makes for a supposedly stress-free vacation, perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health. Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel－allowing
travelers to appreciate the wonders of the world, all without leaving their house.
At just 4,980 yen（$ 46）for business class and 5,980 yen（$ 56）for first class－these two- hour flights are far more affordable than their real-life flights. Tokyo citizens eager to experience First Airlines can book a trip on the
website, with reservations currently being taken until May 2018.
28. What can we learn about the future of air travel from Tokyo to Paris?
A. It is high-flying. B. It is money-saving.
C. It is power-wasting. D. It is time-consuming.
29. When can passengers enjoy the beauty of the destination?
A. Upon arrival. B. During the flight.
C. After boarding the plane. D. On getting off the plane.
30. The flight is perfect for travelers who .
A. do little physical exercise B. work under great pressure
C. desire to travel a long distance D. have health or money troubles
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Scientific Fantasy B. The Power of Virtual Reality
C. Japan’s Virtual Air Travel Abroad D. Appreciation of the Global Wonders

As the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much
“yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted（过分受约束的）and powerless to set and maintain
boundaries in our lives.
This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It－and Stop People-Pleasing
Forever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.
Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way. For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.
The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in
common－things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.
Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.
32. Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1?
A. To blame himself. B. To show how to guide kids. C. To tell his likes and dislikes. D. To help recommend a book.
33. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. How to deal with a request.
B. Why askers turn to others for a favor.
C. Why people-pleasers say “yes” too often.
D. How to strengthen relationships with askers.
34. What does the underlined word “scenarios” probably mean?
A. Occasions. B. Processes. C. Adventures. D. Stories.
35. What does the author advise us to do? A. Give no response to any demand.
B. Learn to say “no” in a positive way.
C. Keep open all channels of communication.
D. Say “yes” constantly without feeling guilty.
第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Caregivers care for someone with an illness, injury or disability. Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. 36 Women especially are at risk for the harmful health effects of caregiver stress. These health problems may include stress and anxiety. There are ways to manage caregiver stress.
The first thing to do is learn ways to better help your loved one. 37 To find these classes, ask your doctor or call your local Area Agency on Aging.
Take time out to meditate（冥想）or reflect. Spending 10 to 20 minutes twice a day to “clear your head” can
work wonders when you’re feeling overburdened. Some caregivers learn meditation techniques from classes or
books on the subject, while others simply take time out to quietly reflect. 38
Exercising is another good way to help mind and body recover. It’s one of the best-known techniques for
reducing stress and keeping healthy. A quick walk several times each week gives you significant health benefits. 39
Your library may offer exercise DVDs. Invite a friend over to join you.
40 Nursing a garden, watching a favorite TV show, or reading an article that interests you. Your favorite hobby can help “center” you and remind you that you still have a life outside of caregiving. You must make some
time－even for 10－to take care of yourself.
A. Stress from caregiving is common.
B. Try to do something you enjoy every day.
C. You’d better keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings.
D. Find caregiving resources in your community to help you.
E. Whichever way you choose, it’s important that you focus on clearing your mind.
F. There are many good indoor choices, too, from walking in place to yoga or tai chi.
G. Some hospitals offer classes that can teach you how to care for someone with an injury or illness.

第二节 书面表达（满分 25 分）
Dear John,
I’m writing to tell you that 1 will fly to your country to take part in the tour-and-learn summer camp during my winter holidays. Through the trip, I hope to learn more about the customs and history of your country and develop my ability to survive independently. What’s more, it is a good chance to practice my spoken English.
However, what I’m concerned about is that I may have difficulty communicating with the locals. After all, there exist some cultural differences between China and Australia. In addition, the climate and foods there may disagree with me. I’d appreciate it if you could give me some advice.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours truly
Li Hua

When Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes “finding solutions to real problems”, it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11-year-old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.
In just three months, Rao came up with a device（装置）that can replace the costly and lengthy tests currently
used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water. Inspired by the current litigation （诉讼）in Flint, Michigan, a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015, Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named
America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017.
Rao had been following the water problem for about two years. She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the “science room” she asked her parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three
parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes（纳米管）
that react to lead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.
Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that the “purpose of science is to make a difference”, her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.
24. What do we know about Rao’s device?
A. It’s cheap and quick. B. It’s cheap and inaccurate.
C. It’s expensive and reliable. D. It’s portable and time-consuming.
25. What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?
A. Her parents’ suggestions.
B. The name of the Greek goddess.
C. Her interest in settling real problems. D. The water pollution litigation in Flint.
26. What do the carbon nanotubes function as? A. Sending immediate signals.
B. Recording the reaction results. C. Detecting the presence of lead.
D. Showing the water quality results.
27. What does the author think of Rao’s invention?
A. It will lead Rao to make a fortune.
B. It will help millions of Americans drink safe water.
C. It will promote the development of science in America. D. It will soon settle the lead-polluted problem thoroughly.

Imagine jet-setting from Tokyo to Paris, enjoying first-class travel, a four-course dinner and a city tour－all without leaving the ground. This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines, which has
used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations.
Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer, the baggage fees or busy airport terminal（航站楼）－and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first-class travel and an expensive tour of Paris－all while remaining motionless
in Tokyo. As well as Paris, First Airlines also offers the virtual destinations of New York, Rome and Hawaii.
After boarding, guests can settle down for the two-hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat－surrounded by decoration that is modeled on the inside of an aircraft, for maximum realism. There is flight service and VR, foods,
music for every destination. Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards, alongside drinks and other desserts. The menu depends on the destination of choice－Manhattan clam chowder and cheesecake for New York and salmon tartar and onion soup for Paris. After landing at the destination, guests can enjoy a 360-degree tour of the destination－all thanks to projection（投影）mapping and video.
It makes for a supposedly stress-free vacation, perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health. Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel－allowing
travelers to appreciate the wonders of the world, all without leaving their house.
At just 4,980 yen（$ 46）for business class and 5,980 yen（$ 56）for first class－these two- hour flights are far more affordable than their real-life flights. Tokyo citizens eager to experience First Airlines can book a trip on the
website, with reservations currently being taken until May 2018.

As the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much
“yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted（过分受约束的）and powerless to set and maintain
boundaries in our lives.
This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It－and Stop People-Pleasing
Forever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.
Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way. For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.
The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in
common－things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.
Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.
32. Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1?
A. To blame himself. B. To show how to guide kids. C. To tell his likes and dislikes. D. To help recommend a book.
33. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. How to deal with a request.
B. Why askers turn to others for a favor.
C. Why people-pleasers say “yes” too often.
D. How to strengthen relationships with askers.
34. What does the underlined word “scenarios” probably mean?
A. Occasions. B. Processes. C. Adventures. D. Stories.
35. What does the author advise us to do? A. Give no response to any demand.
B. Learn to say “no” in a positive way.
C. Keep open all channels of communication.
D. Say “yes” constantly without feeling guilty.

Caregivers care for someone with an illness, injury or disability. Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. 36 Women especially are at risk for the harmful health effects of caregiver stress. These health problems may include stress and anxiety. There are ways to manage caregiver stress.
The first thing to do is learn ways to better help your loved one. 37 To find these classes, ask your doctor or call your local Area Agency on Aging.
Take time out to meditate（冥想）or reflect. Spending 10 to 20 minutes twice a day to “clear your head” can
work wonders when you’re feeling overburdened. Some caregivers learn meditation techniques from classes or
books on the subject, while others simply take time out to quietly reflect. 38
Exercising is another good way to help mind and body recover. It’s one of the best-known techniques for
reducing stress and keeping healthy. A quick walk several times each week gives you significant health benefits. 39
Your library may offer exercise DVDs. Invite a friend over to join you.
40 Nursing a garden, watching a favorite TV show, or reading an article that interests you. Your favorite hobby can help “center” you and remind you that you still have a life outside of caregiving. You must make some
time－even for 10－to take care of yourself.
A. Stress from caregiving is common.
B. Try to do something you enjoy every day.
C. You’d better keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings.
D. Find caregiving resources in your community to help you.
E. Whichever way you choose, it’s important that you focus on clearing your mind.
F. There are many good indoor choices, too, from walking in place to yoga or tai chi.
G. Some hospitals offer classes that can teach you how to care for someone with an injury or illness.

Dear John,
I’m writing to tell you that 1 will fly to your country to take part in the tour-and-learn summer camp during my winter holidays. Through the trip, I hope to learn more about the customs and history of your country and develop my ability to survive independently. What’s more, it is a good chance to practice my spoken English.
However, what I’m concerned about is that I may have difficulty communicating with the locals. After all, there exist some cultural differences between China and Australia. In addition, the climate and foods there may disagree with me. I’d appreciate it if you could give me some advice.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours truly
Li Hua
