When thinking of ways to relax in life, usually things like yoga, jogging and music come to mind. These are great, to be sure. But getting a friend can also have many benefits. While human friends provide great social support, furry friends like cats and dogs can come with some great benefits.
Pets can improve people's mood. For those who love animals, it's actually impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours, or when a super-soft cat rubs up against your hand. The study found that people with AIDS were less likely to suffer from deep sadness if they owned a pet.
Pets also encourage people to get out and exercise. Whether people walk their dogs because they need it, or are more likely to enjoy a walk when they have companionship, dog owners do spend more time walking than non-pet owners.
While we all know the power of talking about your problems with a good friend who is a good listener, research shows that spending time with pets may be even better! People actually experience less stress(压力) when their pets are with them than when a supportive friend is present! A recent study performed by Washington State University(WSU) has proved that petting cats and dogs for just ten minutes is an effective way to reduce stress levels. The team chose 249 students and put them into four groups. The first group was provided 10 minutes to play with dogs and cats.
The second group waited in line while observing the first group. The third group watched a video of the same animals, while the fourth group was just waiting. "What we wanted to learn was whether this exposure(接触) would help students reduce their stress, and it did, "said Patricia Pendry, a professor in WSU.
It's important to realize that owning a pet isn't for everyone. It does come with additional work and responsibility, which can bring its own stress. However, for most people, the advantages of having a pet outweigh the drawbacks(缺点). Having a furry best friend can reduce stress in your life and bring you support when times get tough.
27. The study performed by WSU shows that ______________.
A. people keep pets for fun B. animals are good listeners
C. pets are friendlier than humans D. petting animals helps reduce stress
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Pets can help doctors treat AIDS.
B. Dog owners are likely to exercise more.
C. Human friends are more supportive than pets.
D. Pet owners are more responsible than others.
29. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To give advice on how to keep pets. B. To draw people's attention to life stress.
C. To introduce benefits of keeping pets. D. To share ideas on how to reduce stress.
【答案】27. D 28. B 29. C
【解析】

【27题详解】
细节题。根据第6段第3句“"What we wanted to learn was whether this exposure(接触）would help students reduce their stress, and it did, "said Patricia Pendry, a professor in WSU.（“我们想知道的是，这种接触是否有助于学生减轻压力，而且确实如此，”华盛顿大学教授帕特里夏·彭德里说。）”可知“WSU的研究表明，抚摸动物有助于减轻压力。”故选D。

If you know a teenager or gamer, you have probably heard about the latest video game: Fortnite. In the game, up to 100 players land into a small island with guns, and then kill or hide from other players in an attempt to be the lone survivor. The main goal is to kill other players. The popularity of these types of games raises clear questions about the effects of violent(暴力的)gaming. Do violent video games lead to real life violence?
The research on this question is mixed. Over the years, researchers have performed studies to find out whether violent video games lead to problems such as aggression(攻击性）and poor performance in school. Many studies have found that people who play violent video games are more likely to be involved in aggressive behavior. In fact, there was enough research leading to this conclusion(结论）that the American Psychological Association published a policy statement in 2015 concluding that playing violent video games leads to more aggressive behaviors.
But many other researchers disagree. Many studies about violent crime and the use of video violent games find no evidence that increased sales of violent video games leads to an obvious growth in violent crimes. Researchers state that if violent games directly led to violent behavior, the data(数据)would show increases in violent crime on a large—scale as more people played violent games. In fact, there is some evidence that as more youth play video games, rates of youth violence have decreased.
A recent analysis finds that much of the research on violence and video games is affected by publication bias. Studies which drew the conclusions that video games lead to aggression and violence are more likely to be published. However, studies which find violent video games don't have an effect on violence are seldom to be published. As a result, large reviews of the data conclude violent video games lead to aggression without considering research to the contrary.
So what's the take—home message here? There is not enough evidence that violent video games lead to aggressive behavior. That does not mean that every game is for every child. Certainly, many violent video games are scary and unfit for some kids. Understanding each child's needs and creating a plan that sets out rules for media use and monitors kids' activities on screens are proper solutions.
30. The writer mentions the game Fortnite to__________
A. introduce the latest video game B. show the popularity of the game
C. lead in the topic of violent gaming D. share the skills of winning the game
31. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A Harmful effects of violent video games. B. Reasons of playing violent video games.
C. The aggressive behaviors in violent games. D. The research process of the violent games.
32. The word "bias" in Paragraph 4 probably means"___________________"
A. common practice B. unfair preference
C. unusual experience D. serious misunderstanding
33. The writer probably agrees that___________.
A children should stay away from video games
B. violent video games lead to aggressive behaviors
C. crimes increase with the popularity of violent gaming
D. children need to be guided when playing video games
【答案】30. C 31. A 32. B 33. D
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。主要谈论暴力电子游戏的影响。对暴力电子游戏褒贬不一。一些研究人员认为玩暴力电子游戏会导致更具攻击性的行为。但许多其他研究人员不同意。有证据表明，随着越来越多的年轻人玩电子游戏，年轻人的暴力发生率有所下降。大量的数据回顾表明暴力电子游戏会导致攻击，而没有考虑相反的研究。作者认为孩子们在玩电子游戏时需要被引导。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第1段第4和5句“The popularity of these types of games raises clear questions about the effects of violent gaming. Do violent video games lead to real life violence? （这类游戏的流行引发了人们对暴力游戏影响的明确质疑。暴力电子游戏会导致现实生活中的暴力吗？）”可知“作者提到游戏Fortnite是为了引出暴力游戏的话题”；故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨题。第二段内容第3和4句“Researchers state that if violent games directly led to violent behavior, the data(数据)would show increases in violent crime on a large—scale as more people played violent games. In fact, there is some evidence that as more youth play video games, rates of youth violence have decreased.（许多研究发现，玩暴力电子游戏的人更有可能参与攻击性行为。事实上，已有足够的研究得出这一结论（结论），美国心理协会在2015年发表了一份政策声明，结论是玩暴力电子游戏会导致更具攻击性的行为。）”可知“第2段主要谈论暴力电子游戏的有害影响。”；故选A。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。common practice普遍的做法，惯例；unfair preference 不公平待遇，偏见；unusual experience不寻常的经历；serious misunderstanding重大误解。根据下文“随着越来越多的年轻人玩电子游戏，年轻人的暴力发生率有所下降。”可知此句“A recent analysis finds that much of the research on violence and video games is affected by publication bias.”句意是“最近的一项分析发现，大部分关于暴力和电子游戏的研究都受到出版偏见的影响。”故单词“bias”意思是“偏见”；故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第5段最后一句“Understanding each child's needs and creating a plan that sets out rules for media use and monitors kids' activities on screens are proper solutions.（了解每个孩子的需求，制定一个计划，规定媒体使用规则，并在屏幕上监控孩子的活动，是正确的解决方案。）”可知“作者可能同意孩子们在玩电子游戏时需要被引导”；故选D。

Somebody Loves You
One cold rainy night, I was working on my Legos in my bedroom. I was dreaming of the day when I have earned enough money to buy my favourite set. To help me, my father rewarded me one dollar a day after I jogged with him in the morning.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I jumped from my chair and raced to the top of the steps, wondering who would visit us on such a rainy night. My mother opened the door. Surprisingly, she found a very untidy man. Overcome by pity, my mother invited him inside to the living room.
I went downstairs quietly so I could get a better look. I couldn’t hear clearly what they were saying, but I saw the man holding his head in his hands and crying, which made my chest ache.
I raced back to my room, grabbed the one-dollar coin I had got that morning, ran back to the man, put the coin in his hand and gave him a hug. At that moment, I had no idea why I did so. Feeling embarrassed, I stood still.
In a while, the stranger sat quietly with his head bowed. Tears streamed down his face as he tightly held that coin. Finally, he said, ―I just thought nobody cared about me. For the last twenty years, I have been so alone… I have no family. That was the first hug I have gotten in — hmmm… I don’t know how long. It’s hard to believe that somebody cares.
Being a kid, I hadn’t thought about what I was doing that night. I just had the reaction to the sight of someone else’s pain. On our earlier morning jogs, my dad and I had talked about the importance of giving, but I hadn’t had any idea of what it really meant.
Before the man left that night, my parents asked him why he had knocked on our door. He said that as he was walking along the streets, hopeless and ready to die, he had noticed a bumper sticker on the car in front of our house. The bumper (保险杠) sticker on the car read: SOMEBODY LOVES YOU.
24. According to what the writer saw, he realized the stranger was _____.

The Palace Museum has always been a must-see for Chinese and foreign tourists, which is the cultural treasure of China. Since 2018, more than 80 percent of the Forbidden City has been opened to the public and the number of tourists increased rapidly and reached to 1.7million.
In recent years, the Palace Museum has drawn more and more people’s attention by its fresh new events. From new media tools to the creative cultural products, from grand activities to attractive TV shows, the Palace Museum has achieved amazing success. To keep pace with the times, the old palace is updating (更新) in many fashionable ways.
Since 2014, to deliver the image of ―A Warm Forbidden City to the public, new media tools of the Palace Museum have changed a lot. Its Weibo keeps showing the palace’s charm (魅力) by posting its beautiful photos of four seasons and lovely cats.

The light festival is another idea. It was the first time the Palace Museum was lit up at night and opened to the public for the Lantern Festival. The light show, which provided audience with full sensory (感官) experiences, has wowed the crowd.

For those who have been to the museum before, a TV show about the Forbidden City evokes (唤起) their interests in visiting it again. As an audience said, ―Shang Xin Le Gu Gong makes me realize that there are always unknown areas to explore in the Forbidden City. In another TV show, The Nation’s Greatest Treasures, nine leading museums come together to introduce the treasures they look after. This has further raised people’s interests in more museums. These TV shows have brought an instant cultural heat and greatly increased the number of visitors in these museums.
Nation stays alive when its culture stays alive. Through these ways, the Palace Museum and other museums not only carry forward their own history, but also call on people’s love for traditional culture. After all, it is the memory and symbol of a country’s history and the precious wealth of all mankind.

Are you often in mind-wandering, enjoying the state of having nothing to do, or just standing and staring? Did you dream to get good grades and devote yourself to the tasks for a few days, however, your dream fell to zero as a TV play attracted you some day?
Do we need to have a dream? The founder of Wal -Mart, Sam Walton, says high expectation is the key to everything. The important thing in life is to have a great aim and the determination to achieve it, J. W. Goethe, the famous German poet and dramatist says. Successful people suggest that those who believe in the beauty of their dreams tend to have more self-motivation (自我激励)to keep on trying and enjoying the beauty of life.
Thomas Edison dreamed to light the world by the power of electricity. He tried over 2,000 different materials before he was able to create a market light bulb. It’s hard for many of us to imagine spending so much time and energy in exploring a possibility, which is most likely to come to a dead end but for Edison, who sticked to his dream, it was just an enjoyable process. As Edison says, The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Helena, a 17-year-old girl, dreamed to build the magnificent sculpture (雕塑) in the world. She devoted herself to observing faces around her and making sculptures. She was woken up by her dream every morning rather than her alarm clock. She said she became passionate (有热情的) out of her dream, which kept her going through any difficulties and found pleasure in it.
You can benefit a lot from your dream, but do you know the behavior that is necessary to fulfill your dream? You have a dream and you truthfully want good grades. However, you can’t help playing on the smart phone and let go your homework. Or you rush through it so that you can get back to the smart phone. This is the case when the present-desire to play on your smart phone beats the will to reach the future goal, which is called immediate gratification. If you always behave like this, you may lose the chance to meet with your dream.
Your dream can inspire you. It can give you motivation to work hard. It helps you to focus on a path so that you are moving forward. Meanwhile, you need to set a long-term goal and work for it. The key to dream is concentrating on small wins, which gradually lead to genuine confidence. You will enjoy the whole process of rea lizing your dream as well as involving yourself into the pa ssion of the coming life.
30. The writer talks about Helena and Edison to _____.
A. suggest good ways of realizing your dream
B. show effects of dream on self-motivation
C stress the great differences between them
D share the experiences of their success
31. The expression immediate gratification in Paragraph 5 probably means________.
A. enjoying pleasures here and now
B following dreams without delay
C. becoming creative in a flash

Fast Food Courier Wins Poetry Competition
Lei Haiwei, a 37-year-old fast food courier (送急件的人)from Hunan province won the championship in a televised Chinese poetry knowledge competition, winning fans over with his true love for poems.
“My interest in poems began as early as I was 6 years old,” Lei said after winning the competition.
Lei Haiwei was born in a village of Dongkou county, Shaoyang city. He inherited (继承) his father Lei Changgen’s love of poems. The elder Lei put poetry on the kitchen wall for his son to read throughout childhood.
“My father hoped I would grow up to be a man who keeps the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in mind,” the courier said.
In the father’s small house, there is a four-story bookshelf, the top of which is filled with poetry books. Lei Haiwei showed great interest in Chinese culture when he was a child. Every time his father told him the stories behind each poem, he was totally attracted. He enjoyed reading poems.
In 2001, the younger Lei graduated from a technical secondary school and found a job in Shanghai. Lei began to read books related to poems at bookstores or libraries in his spare time, since he didn’t have enough money to buy many. The young man also developed a habit of reciting poems he liked, writing down them after returning home.
Though Lei came to Hangzhou city in 2008 and works as a fast food courier, his love for poems hasn’t faded (减退). On his busiest work days, the courier has to deliver more than 50 orders a day, earning up to 9,000 yuan a month. Even so, he seized any available moment to recite poems.
“For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants, and traffic lights on my way to deliver food. Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring,” the courier said.
As for his future plans, the courier said he will stick to reading and reciting poems.
24. When did Lei Haiwei begin to be interested in poems?
A. At the age of 6. B. At the age of 37.
C. At the age of 50. D. At the age of 16.
25. Why did Lei Haiwei read books at bookstores or libraries?
A. Because he could write down poems there.
B. Because he won the championship in a competition.
C. Because he could talk about poems with others there.
D. Because he didn’t have enough money to buy many books.
26. What does Lei Haiwei think of reciting poems?
A. It helps him get more money.
B. It makes his job more boring.
C. It makes him busier with his job.
D. It helps him get more knowledge.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D

Learning vocabulary doesn’t have to be boring
Many students have problems with vocabulary when preparing for tests like the SATs. Last week, TEENS offered advice on how to memorize new words. If you’re now familiar with those methods, why not try moving on to the next stage by using the following tips to build up your English vocabulary.
Repeated encounters (反复遇见)
The usual way of “memorizing” new material is through repeating it while it’s still in your mind. However, simply repeating a word seems to have little long-term effect.
But one kind of repetition is effective: repetition of encounters with a word. Words stand a good chance of being remembered if they’ve been met at least seven times in your reading, at intervals (相隔一段时间). So, read English magazines, newspapers, and websites regularly.
Spacing and review
It’s better to distribute (分配) memory work over a period of time rather than do it in a single session (一段时间). This is known as the “principle of distributed practice” where new vocabulary introduced in one lesson is reviewed in the next, and then in later lessons.
Use it or lose it
Putting words to use in interesting ways helps add them to your long-term memory. In a study of vocabulary learning, students who made up their own sentences with new words and read them aloud remembered them better than those who learned the words separately and silently. Best of all, students were given the task of silently imagining a picture in their minds to go with a new word. So it might help if learners link words with a mental image.
Mix it up
Let’s face it — learning words can be really boring, but it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to the Internet, there are more interesting ways to get the job done. Try watching videos from English-speaking social media celebrities and copying the way they speak. You could even upload your own videos and try becoming a star yourself.
27. According to the passage, a good way of memorizing new words is ________.
A. simply repeating them
B. learning the words silently
C. reviewing them in one lesson
D. reading English magazines regularly
28. To make learning words more interesting, we can ________.
A. try to become a famous star
B. read new words on websites
C. make and upload our own English videos
D. draw a picture on the paper with a new word
29. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Where to use new words. B. How to memorize new words.
C When to learn new words. D. What to write with new words.
【答案】27. D 28. C 29. B
【解析】
本文通过许多学生在准备SAT考试时都会遇到词汇问题这一现象，简单介绍了几条增长词汇量的方法。
【27题详解】
句意：根据这篇文章，记忆新单词的好方法是有规律地阅读英文杂志。原文中“So, read English magazines, newspapers, and websites regularly.”（所以，要定期阅读英文杂志，报纸和网站。）这是一种记单词的好办法（Repeated encounters (反复遇见)）。故选D。
【28题详解】
句意：为了让学习单词变得更有趣，我们可以制作并且上传我们自己的英语录像。原文“try watching videos from English-speaking social media celebrities and copying the way they speak. You could even upload your own videos and try becoming a star yourself.”（尝试观看英语社交媒体名人的视频并复制该视频中他们说话的方式。您甚至可以上传自己的视频并尝试自己成为明星。）故选C。
【29题详解】
句意：这篇文章主要讨论的是什么？如何记忆新单词。文章开头部分“If you’re now familiar with those methods, why not try moving on to the next stage by using the following tips to build up your English vocabulary.”（如果您现在熟悉这些方法，那么为什么不尝试通过使用以下小技巧来提高您的英语词汇量进入下一个阶段。），文章后半部分便是介绍了这几个小贴士。所以文章的主题就是如何记忆新单词。故选B。
D

Clara sits at her desk deep in thought. She stares at the math problem in front of her desperately trying to remember how to solve it, but as she sits there her long list of homework plays over in her head, and she becomes overwhelmed. She bites her lip thinking and thinking. Then she hears a song on the radio. As she turns up the music, a wave of calm spreads over her body, she closes her eyes and listens to the music.When the song ends, Clara’s eyes open and she turns off the radio. She looks again at the troublesome question and sighs, “I remember how to do this now,” she says to herself. Then she finishes the problem, but this time calmer than before.
According to NPR news, 45% of teens say they are stressed by school pressures, such as homework and grades. High school, and all of the honors and AP courses, can stress out teens like Clara to the point of exhaustion, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Lots of students can use stress relievers to simmer down during their school day. Music can be one of those reliefs.
When the body is stressed, it releases cortisol (释放皮质醇), a life sustaining adrenal hormone (肾上腺荷尔蒙) nicknamed “the stress hormone”. By playing music, students stop the flow (流动) of cortisol released from their body, therefore returning to their normal, non-stressed self quicker than someone who didn’t hear or play any music.
When returning to this state, teens can think more clearly, with their stress gone. Music does not only calm the stressed mind, it develops creativity, as well as improving math and reading skills. A music class can help students who are stressed and give them an hour of relaxation during their day. This can help high schoolers have a clear mind to concentrate on their schoolwork. Adding music to a teen’s day can help them become less stressed and finally help them with their courses, making a smarter generation.
Now, I know you’re thinking, “What about kids who find playing a musical instrument hard or boring? How would taking a music class help them?” Well, even though playing an instrument doesn’t necessarily help all teens, it is agreed that there are very few teens who do not listen to music. This shows that all students, in their own way, like hearing music throughout their day. The music that they listen to calms them and gives them reassurance (保证) that they can make it through their schoolwork. That being said, all schools should have a required hour of ‘relaxation’ time when high schoolers would listen to music, do easy homework, and calm themselves down after their long school day.
Music helps kids in their education, providing them with a brighter future and ensuring that they take care of their generation, the generation before them, and the generations to come.
30. The words “becomes overwhelmed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “________”.
A. loses confidence B. feels disappointed
C. can not think clearly D. isn’t sure about the answers
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Music helps students to be more creative.
B. Few students can relax themselves at school.
C. Adding music to a teen’s day stops them from studying.
D. Music speeds up the flow of cortisol released from the body.
32. According to Paragraph 5, we know that ________.
A. taking a music class is hard and boring
B. all teens listen to music in their own way
C. playing an instrument is necessary for all teens
D. all schools have a required hour of ‘relaxation’ time
33. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Bright Future of Music
B. The Way of Calming Down
C. The Calming Power of Music
D. The Way of Solving Problems
【答案】30. C 31. A 32. B 33. C
【解析】
本文主要通过一位名叫克拉拉学生的案例，讨论了青少年利用音乐处理自身的压力的问题，强调了音乐在帮助减压方面的作用。
【30题详解】
句意：第1段中的“变得不知所措”可能的意思是“不能清楚地思考”。结合前句和后句“She stares at the math problem in front of her desperately trying to remember how to solve it, but as she sits there her long list of homework plays over in her head. She bites her lip thinking and thinking.”（她盯着她面前的数学问题拼命想回忆起如何解决这个问题，但当她坐在那里时，她长长的作业清单在她的脑海里浮动起来，她咬着嘴唇思考了又思考。）这说明她的思想很挣扎，变得不知所措，无法清楚思考，其他的三个选项A“失去信心”，选项B“感到失望”，选项D“对答案不确定”都是不准确的。故选C。
【31题详解】
句意：我们能从这段文字中知道到什么？音乐可以帮助学生更有创意。从文中“Music does not only calm the stressed mind, it develops creativity, as well as improving math and reading skills.”（音乐不仅能平息压力的头脑，还能发展创造力，提高数学和阅读技能。），故选A。
【32题详解】
句意：根据第五段的信息，我们知道所有的青少年都以自己的方式听音乐。文章中“This shows that all students, in their own way, like hearing music throughout their day.”（这表明所有学生们以他们自己的方式喜欢整天听音乐。），选项A“把音乐课看得困难且无聊。”，选项C“演奏乐器对于所有的青少年是很必要的。”，选项D“所有的学校对休息时间有要求的时间。”故选B。
【33题详解】
句意：本文最佳标题是什么？音乐的平静力量。从文中多出均可看出主题是在讨论音乐可以是人平静这一作用。如“A music class can help students who are stressed and give them an hour of relaxation during their day.”（音乐课可以帮助有压力的学生，让他们在一天中放松一小时。），结合第二段中的数据等均可看得出文章的主题，选项A“音乐的美好前景”，选项B“冷静的方式”，选项D“解决的问题的方式”等均不全面，故选C。
点睛：本篇阅读理解里面有猜测标题的时候要注意解题技巧，可以考虑一下每个选项都对应了几个自然段，如第4题，选项A“音乐的美好前景”，可以看得出文章并不是在讨论音乐的前景问题，没有自然段与之对应，选项B“冷静的方式”，过于概括，如果是这个标题应该会谈论好几种可以冷静的方式，并非音乐一种，所以不全面，选项D“解决的问题的方式”同理，所以就能得出答案了。
