The Book Hive
Norwich
As well as being a favourite of celebrities, this is a front-runner for the nation’s prettiest bookshop, with an expansive glass shopfront and colourful art decorating the walls. It’s home to thousands of hand-selected titles, with an especially impressive art-and-design collection.

Mr B’s Reading Emporium
Bath
A huge part of the charm (魅力) of this place is Mr B himself — a former bank trader who gave it all up in 2006 to share his passion for the written word. His enthusiasm must be infectious because his staff are similarly cheerful, handwriting personal notes to the overflowing shelves. “You can drop in anytime,” says one employee. “And we pride ourselves on championing lesser-known titles.”
Barter Books
Northumberland
Under the roof of the Victorian Station lie the free-standing bookshelves homely carpets and open fires that make up Barter Books. In addition to the thousands of second-hand titles in this bookstore, there are more than 40 glass cases housing rare books. Visitors can also see the Writers Mural-life-size literary figures painted high up on the walls. See if you can spot Charlotte Bronte and Charles Dickens.
Much More Books
Shropshire
Situated in the market town Much Wen lock, Much More Books is the epitome (缩影) of an antiquarian shop. Most surprisingly, historic buildings, an inclusive and well-thumbed collection, and even a book-finder service combine to make you feel as if you’ve stepped back a few centuries. Every type is covered, with lots of local-interest titles thrown in. You can even add to your music collection with their selection of vinyls and CDs.

B
“I know when to go out, and when to stay in.”, English rock star David Bowie once confidently sang in his hit single. When it comes to consuming food, the decisiveness claimed by the singer-songwriter is hard to achieve. I disagree with the statement and argue it’s better to eat out than to order home delivery.
To begin with, when setting foot in a restaurant, we’re immediately greeted not only by a server ready to seat us, but by a flood of physical feelings—the eyes take in the internal decoration of the place, the nose breathes in the pleasant smell of expertly plated food and the ears pick up on competing sounds of customer chatter and attractive in-store music. To eat out is to experience an atmosphere unique to each restaurant. Something as special as that simply can’t be reproduced by ordering home delivery. Eating out is, without doubt, the more exciting and thus better choice.
Eating out becomes even more appealing when staying home proves too painful. Whether it is because we need a temporary fight from our family or that we simply want to spend some quality time outside with loved ones, going out for a meal can be a break from the hard labour of domestic living.
We could take it as an opportunity for self-care—to treat ourselves by dressing up, arriving in style at a fancy restaurant and ordering a slightly more luxurious meal to refresh our weary soul. Ordering home delivery would only contribute to feelings of being penned in while; eating out is an escape for the trapped individual. Food delivery app users reason it’s a trouble and less convenient to dress up and eat out.
However, it’s worth noting we may not always get our food in the most satisfactory condition when opting for home delivery. There’s a risk of receiving food orders with missing items or even entirely wrong orders that can’t be sent back. What we sacrifice for convenience might just wind up being inconvenient. Consequently, it makes more sense to eat out rather than risk disappointment by ordering home delivery.
4. What does the author mainly talk about?
A. Dining options. B. Cuisine culture.
C. Consumption level. D. Food categories.
5. What advantage of eating out is highlighted in paragraph 2?
A. Quality service. B. Comfort and convenience.
C. Sensory enjoyment. D. A reasonable mix of nutrition.
6. What does the author think of ordering home delivery?
A. It’s quite pricey. B. It may let consumers down.
C. It may cause food waste. D. It’s not environmental-friendly.
7. How is the text developed?
A. By providing examples. B. By following space order.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing mental processes.
C
Turkmenistan is a country in Central Asia, near Afghanistan and Iran. In Darvaza, one of its villages, there is a very interesting feature. It is a massive hole in the ground-about 20 metres (65 feet) deep and 60 metres (196 feet) across. The enormous pit has been on fire for more than 50 years.
Why is the crater on fire? The most popular theory is that in 1971, a team of geologists from the then-Soviet Union were drilling in the country’s Karakum Desert to try to find gas. The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks. However, it has been burning steadily for more than 50 years.
According to a BBC article, Canadian explorer George Kourounis discovered in 2013 that “no one actually knows how this… inferno came to be.” But, now the crater may finally be extinguished.
Turkmenistan’s president, Mr. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, has asked scientists in the country to figure out how to put out the burning crater. He went on the country’s state-run television station on January 8 to encourage experts to find a way to stop the fire.
One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels it. Gas is a very important and valuable resource and can be used for many purposes. If it’s just burning off, the gas cannot be used or sold. According to the website Vice.com, the crater sits on the fourth largest reserve of natural gas in the world. Another reason the president may want the crater put out is to stop the harmful effects, to humans and the environment, of the burning gas.
8. Why did the geologists light the crater?
A. To test the quality of the gas.
B. To exhaust the underground gas.
C. To prevent explosion of the gas.
D. To stop the escape of the gas.
9. What does the underlined word “inferno” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The article. B. The theory. C. The fire. D. The president.
10. What does Turkmenistan’s president want to do?
A. To protect the crater.
B. To find the reason of the fire.
C. To seek help from the public.
D. To exploit and use the gas.
11 Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out
B. A Peculiar Scenic Spot in Turkmenistan
C. The Crater Burning for Fifty Years
D. The Harmful Effects of the Burning Gas
D
Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that ant species Formica fusca has a well-developed sense of smell. It was able to distinguish cancerous cells from healthy cells in humans. But more clinical tests must be carried out before the findings could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said.
In the research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a laboratory setting. First, the ants were exposed to the smell of a sample of cancerous human cells. This odor (气味) was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. Then, the researchers exposed the ants to two different odors. One was a new smell and the other was the smell of the cancerous cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancerous cells. As such, the scientists found that “ants discriminate between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous lines.” After training, Formica fusca ants are able to detect volatile organic compounds of cancerous cells.
This study shows that ants are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient, points out CNRS in a news release. This isn’t the first time that scientists have used animals to locate cancerous cells. Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis and used for the detection of cancer-specific. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year.
On the other hand, insects can be easily raised in controlled conditions. They are inexpensive, and have a very well-developed smell system. Hundreds of individuals can be conditioned with very few trials. Ants therefore represent a fast, efficient, inexpensive and highly discriminant detection tool for detection of cancer cell, the team explained.
12. What do we know about the findings?
A. They are the first findings in animals.
B. They can be used to treat cancer.
C. They are useful in varieties of fields.
D. They need further experiments.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The research tools and methods.
B. The process of the research.
C. The application of the findings.
D. Formica fusca’s magic power.
14. In which aspect are ants better than dogs according to the research?
A. They have a sharper sense of smell.
B. They are more intelligent than dogs.
C. They take less time to be trained.
D. They perform better in laboratory settings.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A guidebook. B. A novel. C. A diary. D. A magazine.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is there a link between social media and depression? Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It’s complicated.
In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.
___16___Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64 point higher depression score.
A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. ___17___
There's one important thing to remember about survey research just because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. ___18___For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.
___19___If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.
It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. ___20___Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.
A. It's the same with social media.
B. Social media can be a double-edged sword.
C. People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.
D They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.
E. They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.
F. The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.
G. For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression.

It was a rather crowded day at the subway station. Seeing the busy passers-by stopped by his performance, Eric, a music lover who just graduated from college, wore a big smile on his face. With deep passion for music, he showed up in the station in his spare time, singing and playing the guitar to people travelling to and from the subway station.
With the melodious (悦耳的) song coming to an end, hearty applause burst out. As usual, Eric expressed his gratitude, nodding his head with a smile. “Man, awesome! An outstanding performance!” Approached a man, holding the hand of a little girl in a ponytail (马尾辫), aged about four.
“Park, a producer of a record company.” The man introduced himself, holding out his hand. “Would you like to give it a try in my company?” Out of politeness, Eric shook hands with him in amazement.
“I haven’t seen somebody this good in a long time! You are a beautiful scenery of this city, with such a beautiful voice!” Park admired. Suddenly, a phone call interrupted their conversation. Park briefly invited Eric to meet later in the same place and walked away to answer the call. Seeing Park off, Eric did realize what had happened, with warm current flowing from his head to toes. It was the first time that he had earned such kind of recognition, which was totally out of his expectation.
“A beautiful scenery of the city, with a beautiful voice!” Eric repeated the words, cleaning his guitar and preparing for the next performance. At that time, he caught sight of a little girl in a ponytail standing in a corner, weeping and looking around. Carrying his guitar, Eric approached her and squatted (蹲) down, “What’s wrong with you, honey?”

“I know when to go out, and when to stay in.”, English rock star David Bowie once confidently sang in his hit single. When it comes to consuming food, the decisiveness claimed by the singer-songwriter is hard to achieve. I disagree with the statement and argue it’s better to eat out than to order home delivery.
To begin with, when setting foot in a restaurant, we’re immediately greeted not only by a server ready to seat us, but by a flood of physical feelings—the eyes take in the internal decoration of the place, the nose breathes in the pleasant smell of expertly plated food and the ears pick up on competing sounds of customer chatter and attractive in-store music. To eat out is to experience an atmosphere unique to each restaurant. Something as special as that simply can’t be reproduced by ordering home delivery. Eating out is, without doubt, the more exciting and thus better choice.
Eating out becomes even more appealing when staying home proves too painful. Whether it is because we need a temporary fight from our family or that we simply want to spend some quality time outside with loved ones, going out for a meal can be a break from the hard labour of domestic living.
We could take it as an opportunity for self-care—to treat ourselves by dressing up, arriving in style at a fancy restaurant and ordering a slightly more luxurious meal to refresh our weary soul. Ordering home delivery would only contribute to feelings of being penned in while; eating out is an escape for the trapped individual. Food delivery app users reason it’s a trouble and less convenient to dress up and eat out.
However, it’s worth noting we may not always get our food in the most satisfactory condition when opting for home delivery. There’s a risk of receiving food orders with missing items or even entirely wrong orders that can’t be sent back. What we sacrifice for convenience might just wind up being inconvenient. Consequently, it makes more sense to eat out rather than risk disappointment by ordering home delivery.
4. What does the author mainly talk about?
A. Dining options. B. Cuisine culture.
C. Consumption level. D. Food categories.
5. What advantage of eating out is highlighted in paragraph 2?
A. Quality service. B. Comfort and convenience.
C. Sensory enjoyment. D. A reasonable mix of nutrition.
6. What does the author think of ordering home delivery?
A. It’s quite pricey. B. It may let consumers down.
C. It may cause food waste. D. It’s not environmental-friendly.
7. How is the text developed?
A. By providing examples. B. By following space order.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing mental processes.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C

推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“I disagree with the statement and argue it’s better to eat out than to order home delivery.”(我不同意这种说法,并认为在外面吃饭比点外卖送到家要好。)和最后一段关键句“Consequently, it makes more sense to eat out rather than risk disappointment by ordering home delivery.”(因此,在外就餐更有意义,而不是冒着失望的风险点外卖送到家。)可知,作者在文章中把“在外面吃饭”和“点外卖送到家”两种就餐方式进行了比较,认为在外就餐更有意义。由此可知,作者主要谈论了用餐选择问题。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“To begin with, when setting foot in a restaurant, we’re immediately greeted not only by a server ready to seat us, but by a flood of physical feelings—the eyes take in the internal decoration of the place, the nose breathes in the pleasant smell of expertly plated food and the ears pick up on competing sounds of customer chatter and attractive in-store music.”(首先,当我们走进一家餐厅时,迎接我们的不仅是一位准备让我们就座的服务员,还有一种洪流般的身体感觉——眼睛注视着餐厅的内部装饰,鼻子呼吸着精心烹制的食物的怡人气味,耳朵听到顾客相互竞争的聊天声和吸引人的店内音乐。)可知,第二段强调了外出就餐可以让眼睛、鼻子和耳朵等感官都获得享受。由此可知,第二段强调了外出就餐的好处是可以获得感官上的享受。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“There’s a risk of receiving food orders with missing items or even entirely wrong orders that can’t be sent back. What we sacrifice for convenience might just wind up being inconvenient. Consequently, it makes more sense to eat out rather than risk disappointment by ordering home delivery.”(收到的食品订单有丢失的风险,甚至是无法退回的完全错误的订单。我们为了方便而牺牲的东西最终可能会变得不方便。因此,在外就餐更有意义,而不是冒着失望的风险点外卖送到家。)可知,作者认为点外卖面临着订单丢失或订单错误的风险,这会让我们感到失望。由此可知,作者认为点外卖送到家可能会让消费者失望。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“To eat out is to experience an atmosphere unique to each restaurant. Something as special as that simply can’t be reproduced by ordering home delivery.”(外出就餐是为了体验每一家餐厅特有的氛围。像这样特别的东西根本无法通过点外卖送到家来复制。)和第三段关键句“Eating out becomes even more appealing when staying home proves too painful.”(当待在家里太痛苦时,外出就餐变得更有吸引力。)可知,作者将“在外面吃饭”和“点外卖送到家”两种就餐方式进行了比较,告诉读者“在外面吃饭”的好处。由此可知,文章是通过比较发展起来的。故选C项。

Turkmenistan is a country in Central Asia, near Afghanistan and Iran. In Darvaza, one of its villages, there is a very interesting feature. It is a massive hole in the ground-about 20 metres (65 feet) deep and 60 metres (196 feet) across. The enormous pit has been on fire for more than 50 years.
Why is the crater on fire? The most popular theory is that in 1971, a team of geologists from the then-Soviet Union were drilling in the country’s Karakum Desert to try to find gas. The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks. However, it has been burning steadily for more than 50 years.
According to a BBC article, Canadian explorer George Kourounis discovered in 2013 that “no one actually knows how this… inferno came to be.” But, now the crater may finally be extinguished.
Turkmenistan’s president, Mr. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, has asked scientists in the country to figure out how to put out the burning crater. He went on the country’s state-run television station on January 8 to encourage experts to find a way to stop the fire.
One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels it. Gas is a very important and valuable resource and can be used for many purposes. If it’s just burning off, the gas cannot be used or sold. According to the website Vice.com, the crater sits on the fourth largest reserve of natural gas in the world. Another reason the president may want the crater put out is to stop the harmful effects, to humans and the environment, of the burning gas.
8. Why did the geologists light the crater?
A. To test the quality of the gas.
B. To exhaust the underground gas.
C. To prevent explosion of the gas.
D. To stop the escape of the gas.
9. What does the underlined word “inferno” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The article. B. The theory. C. The fire. D. The president.
10. What does Turkmenistan’s president want to do?
A. To protect the crater.
B. To find the reason of the fire.
C. To seek help from the public.
D. To exploit and use the gas.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out
B. A Peculiar Scenic Spot in Turkmenistan
C. The Crater Burning for Fifty Years
D. The Harmful Effects of the Burning Gas
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍土库曼斯坦积极寻求方法,希望能够熄灭燃烧的火山口。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The ground under the drill collapsed and methane (甲烷) gas began to escape into the air. The geologists decided the safest thing to do was to burn off the gas by lighting it on fire. They thought the fire would burn for only a few weeks.(钻头下的地面塌陷,甲烷气体开始泄漏到空气中。地质学家们认为最安全的办法是用火烧掉这些气体。他们认为大火只会燃烧几个星期)”可知,这些地质学家决定点燃气体,为了把这些地下气体耗尽。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Why is the crater on fire? (为什么火山口着火了?)”及本段内容可知,这一段虽然在解释这个火山口的形成,但仅仅是一种最流行的理论。由此推知,这位探险家的意思是“没有人真正知道这个大火是如何形成的”。由此可知,划线词inferno指的是上文提到的“大火”。故选C 。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“One of the reasons he wants the crater to be put out is that the country can collect the gas that fuels it.(他希望火山口被清除的原因之一是该国可以收集燃料天然气)”可知,这个总统想要收集为其提供燃料的气体,因为它有多种用途,可以开发和使用。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文可知,文章介绍了火山口的形成,目的是通过对这漫长燃烧过程的强调,引出第三段文章的重点“But, now the crater may finally be extinguished.(但是,现在这个陨石坑可能最终会消失)”,形成一种长时间燃烧与终于被扑灭的对比。由此可知,“The Fire Crater May Soon Be Put Out(火山口可能很快就会被扑灭)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
D
Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that ant species Formica fusca has a well-developed sense of smell. It was able to distinguish cancerous cells from healthy cells in humans. But more clinical tests must be carried out before the findings could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said.
In the research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a laboratory setting. First, the ants were exposed to the smell of a sample of cancerous human cells. This odor (气味) was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. Then, the researchers exposed the ants to two different odors. One was a new smell and the other was the smell of the cancerous cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancerous cells. As such, the scientists found that “ants discriminate between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous lines.” After training, Formica fusca ants are able to detect volatile organic compounds of cancerous cells.
This study shows that ants are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient, points out CNRS in a news release. This isn’t the first time that scientists have used animals to locate cancerous cells. Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis and used for the detection of cancer-specific. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year.
On the other hand, insects can be easily raised in controlled conditions. They are inexpensive, and have a very well-developed smell system. Hundreds of individuals can be conditioned with very few trials. Ants therefore represent a fast, efficient, inexpensive and highly discriminant detection tool for detection of cancer cell, the team explained.
12. What do we know about the findings?
A. They are the first findings in animals.
B. They can be used to treat cancer.
C. They are useful in varieties of fields.
D. They need further experiments.
13. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The research tools and methods.
B. The process of the research.
C The application of the findings.
D. Formica fusca’s magic power.
14. In which aspect are ants better than dogs according to the research?
A. They have a sharper sense of smell.
B. They are more intelligent than dogs.
C. They take less time to be trained.
D. They perform better in laboratory settings.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A guidebook. B. A novel. C. A diary. D. A magazine.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是法国国家科学研究中心(CNRS)的研究人员发现,丝光褐林蚁(Formica fusca)的嗅觉非常发达。它能够区分人类的癌细胞和健康细胞。但研究小组表示,在这些发现可以用于医院等临床环境之前,还必须进行更多的临床测试。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“But more clinical tests must be carried out before the findings could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said.(但研究小组表示,在这些发现可以用于医院等临床环境之前,还必须进行更多的临床测试。)”可知,这一研究结果还需要更多的临床试验。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“In the research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a laboratory setting. First, the ants were exposed to the smell of a sample of cancerous human cells. This odor (气味) was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. Then, the researchers exposed the ants to two different odors. One was a new smell and the other was the smell of the cancerous cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancerous cells.(在这项研究中,科学家们对36只蚂蚁进行了测试,在实验室环境下嗅细胞。首先,将蚂蚁暴露在癌症人类细胞样本的气味中。然后,这种气味与糖浆的奖励联系在一起。然后,研究人员将蚂蚁暴露在两种不同的气味中。一种是新的气味,另一种是癌细胞的气味。一旦测试成功,研究人员将蚂蚁暴露在不同的癌细胞中。)”可知,第二段讲的是研究过程。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段“This study shows that ants are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient, points out CNRS in a news release.(CNRS在一份新闻稿中指出,这项研究表明蚂蚁能够快速、低成本、高效地学习。)”和“Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis and used for the detection of cancer-specific. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year.(狗的鼻子非常适合用于医学诊断和癌症特异性检测。然而,训练它们这样做需要几个月到一年的时间。)”可知,这些蚂蚁的优点在于快速、低成本、高效地学习,与狗相比,蚂蚁的优点是训练速度更快(耗时更少)。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。这是一篇科普文,主要讲的是法国国家科学研究中心(CNRS)的研究人员发现,丝光褐林蚁(Formica fusca)的嗅觉非常发达。它能够区分人类的癌细胞和健康细胞。但研究小组表示,在这些发现可以用于医院等临床环境之前,还必须进行更多的临床测试,是近期最新的研究成果,最可能来源于科学期刊或杂志,故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is there a link between social media and depression? Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It’s complicated.
In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.
___16___Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64 point higher depression score.
A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. ___17___
There's one important thing to remember about survey research just because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. ___18___For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.
___19___If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.
It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. ___20___Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.
A. It's the same with social media.
B. Social media can be a double-edged sword.
C. People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.
D. They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.
E. They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.
F. The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.
G. For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. B 20. F
【解析】

【点睛】第一、通读全文,了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程,目的是了解文章大意,为以后的理解做铺垫。
第二、明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系,要么和下文有联系,要么和上下文都有联系。例如第2、3小题都与它们的上文有联系。
第三、带入通读,复查。
做完题目切忌直接离开,这时我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍,将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读,这时如果感到有含义不连贯的地方,很有可能是我们填错了空,就要复查了,注意:七选五的特点在于,错一道,往往还会错另外的一道或几道,我们叫做“连错”,所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时,一定要同时检查其它空。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍旗袍的历史以及样式。旗袍是独具中国特色的女性服饰,上身容易,穿着舒适,旗袍特别适合中国女性的身材。它的好处在于可以使用多种材质,并以不同长度制作,因此在休闲和正式场合都可穿着。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:旗袍是一种具有鲜明中国特色的女性服饰,在国际高级时装界越来越受欢迎。enjoy是及物动词,后接名词popularity“受欢迎,流行”作宾语,popularity为不可数名词。故填popularity。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:旗袍这个名字的意思就是“长裙子”,它是从中国广东方言中进入英语词汇的。分析句子结构,设空处为非谓语动词,作后置定语修饰名词短语The name “cheongsam”, The name “cheongsam”与动词mean构成逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词形式。故填meaning。
【38题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:然而,在包括北京在内的中国其他地区,旗袍被称为“旗袍”,这背后有一段历史。know ... as意为“将……称为;把……叫做”,设空处在主句中作谓语,主语it与动词know之间为被动关系,此句陈述事实用一般现在时,设空处谓语用被动语态,主语为it,谓语用单数,设空处填is known;be known as表示“被称为……”,。故填is known。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:早期的满族统治者来到中国后,满族妇女通常穿着一件连体连衣裙,后来被称为“旗袍”。wear是动词,要用副词normally来修饰。故填normally。
【40题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:虽然辛亥革命结束了清朝的统治,但女装在政治变革中幸存下来,并经过后来的改进,成为中国妇女的传统服装。引导让步状语从句,表示“虽然”且位于句首,用连词Although/Though/While。故填Although/Though/While。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:旗袍是一种高领、闭领的旗袍,非常适合中国女性的身材,根据季节或口味,它的袖子可以是短的、中长的或长的。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导限制性定语从句,在从句中作定语,指代先行词cheongsam的所有格,用关系代词whose。故填whose。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:旗袍是一种高领、闭领的旗袍,非常适合中国女性的身材,根据季节或口味,它的袖子可以是短的、中长的或长的。此处表示“长度”应用名词length。 full length意为“长及脚踝的”。故填length。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,制作起来也不太复杂。此处句型为too+形容词或副词+to do“太……而不能……”符合句意,设空处填动词不定式。故填to make。
44题详解】
考查倒装句。句意:它也不需要太多的材料。上句话提到的情况同样适合下文的人或物,为了避免和上文的内容重复,英语习惯用so,neither/nor引导的倒装句。so引导的倒装句表示肯定,neither/nor引导的倒装句表示否定,其时态与前一句时态保持一致,上下文陈述的不是同一人或事物。根据文中时态应用一般现在时,且句子主语为第三人称单数形式,设空处填助动词does,故填does。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:无论哪种情况,它都给人一种简单而安静的魅力,优雅而整洁的印象。作宾语,应用名词impression,不定冠词提示用单数。故填impression。

46. We offer free t________ support for those buying our software. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】technical##echnical

【详解】考查形容词。句意:我们为购买我们软件的用户提供免费的技术支持。根据句意以及首字母提示可知,此处为形容词technical“技术上的”作定语修饰后面的名词support,满足句意要求。故填technical。
47. What lies behind this explosion in international ______ (贸易)? (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】commerce
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:国际贸易爆炸的背后是什么?分析句子结构可知,此处缺少名词作宾语,贸易“commerce”,不可数名词,故填commerce。
48. As can be i______ from the chart, the expenses on clothing and recreation have increased by 9% and 7% respectively in the past 3 years. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】indicated##ndicated
【解析】

49. The trials on patients were likely to be p____________because they did not have sufficient safety data. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】postponed##ostponed
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式的被动语态。句意:由于没有足够的安全性数据,对患者的试验可能会被推迟。由“because they did not have sufficient safety data”可知,由于没有足够的安全性数据,对患者的试验可能会被推迟,空格处意为“推迟”,由首字母提示p可知,是postpone,试验是被推迟,因此空格处是不定式的被动语态,即to be done,因此空格处是过去分词postponed。故填postponed。
50. Darwin eventually put forward a model of biological ______ (进化). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】evolution
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:达尔文最终提出了一个生物进化的模式。根据汉语提示“进化”及空前的介词of可知应填名词evolution作宾语,evolution为不可数名词。故填evoluton。

52. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a rather crowded day at the subway station. Seeing the busy passers-by stopped by his performance Eric, a music lover who just graduated from college, wore a big smile on his face. With deep passion for music, he showed up in the station in his spare time, singing and playing the guitar to people travelling to and from the subway station.
With the melodious (悦耳的) song coming to an end, hearty applause burst out. As usual, Eric expressed his gratitude, nodding his head with a smile. “Man, awesome! An outstanding performance!” Approached a man, holding the hand of a little girl in a ponytail (马尾辫), aged about four.
“Park, a producer of a record company.” The man introduced himself, holding out his hand. “Would you like to give it a try in my company?” Out of politeness, Eric shook hands with him in amazement.
“I haven’t seen somebody this good in a long time! You are a beautiful scenery of this city, with such a beautiful voice!” Park admired. Suddenly, a phone call interrupted their conversation. Park briefly invited Eric to meet later in the same place and walked away to answer the call. Seeing Park off, Eric did realize what had happened, with warm current flowing from his head to toes. It was the first time that he had earned such kind of recognition, which was totally out of his expectation.
“A beautiful scenery of the city, with a beautiful voice!” Eric repeated the words, cleaning his guitar and preparing for the next performance. At that time, he caught sight of a little girl in a ponytail standing in a corner, weeping and looking around. Carrying his guitar, Eric approached her and squatted (蹲) down, “What’s wrong with you, honey?”

The girl calmed down in Eric’s song when a man rushed into the office of the subway station.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Version 1
“I can’t find my daddy.” The girl burst out crying. Seeing her weep turning into the helpless cry, Eric looked around nervously. “How to find her father in such a crowd?” Suddenly, the office of the subway station came into view. Having packed up his things, Eric squeezed his way to the office, holding her tiny hand. There he informed the staff of the situation. After the broadcast, the girl still cried, with her eyes swollen. At the sight of the guitar, it hit Eric that music might comfort the anxious girl. Soon, a beautiful voice lingered around the room.
The girl calmed down in Eric’s song when a man rushed into the office of the subway station. “Daddy, I am here!” The little girl screamed, throwing herself to her daddy’s arms and cracked a big smile. Casting a glance to the man, Eric recognized that it was Park. Knowing the whole story, Park conveyed his gratitude: “You are truly a beautiful scenery of the city, not only with your beautiful voice, but with your heart, actually.” He added, “Again, would you like to join our company?” This time Eric answered with a smile, “That’s a deal.”
Version 2
“I can’t find my daddy.” The girl burst out crying. Eric was softly comforting her when he suddenly noticed the office of the subway station. He thought he’d better take the girl there and broadcast the message, which may help find her parents. But the appointment with Park crossed his mind. “What if I miss the meeting with Park?” Shaking his head, Eric gently took the girl’s hand, headed to the office and turned to the staff for help. Looking at the tearful girl, Eric hit upon an idea. Clearing his throat, he took up his guitar.
The girl calmed down in Eric’s song when a man rushed into the office of the subway station. “Daddy!” the little girl shouted excitedly and threw herself to the man like a little merry bird. To Eric’s surprise, it was Park! He met him again, in such an occasion! “I thought that I may not have the chance to meet you again.” said Eric, with a shy smile. “Glad to see you again. Thank you so much!” Park replied with gratitude. “Daddy. Eric sings beautiful songs.” “Yes, honey.”Park said, “Eric sings beautiful songs because he has a beautiful heart.”
