W: There are different kinds of photographer, and our lives and work can be quite different too. A national geographic kind of photographer may travel to different places, taking photos of architecture, landscapes and animals, but fashion photographers like me mainly do two things, commercial shoots and our own creative projects.

We post these photos on our own social media, submit them to media outlets and contests, or host photographic exhibitions to show them off. M: What makes a good photographer? W: For commercial shooting there are some routines that we can follow, and the most important thing is to meet the needs of our customers for our own shoots. What matters most is that you have something that you want to express, and these things can be received or understood by certain groups of people who think similarly. M: Thanks for having given the interview. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. When did Mozart begin to perform in public? A. At the age of four. B. At the age of five. C. In his early teens. 19.

He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking instrumental lessons. The boy’s reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. From that time on, Mozart was performing in concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano and violin and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770 when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781 he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success, but life was not easy because he was a poor business man. And his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of 35 although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Opening Notice for the National Museum of China (NMC) Admission: NMC is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00-17:30 (no entry after 16:30), and is closed on Mondays (except for public holidays).

He has been learning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) since 2016. Now he is studying for his master’s degree at Henan University of Chinese Medicine. As he thought some diseases can’t be treated thoroughly with Western medicine, he decided to research into TCM. Hans came to Central China’s Henan Province in 2015, where a rich TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical master of ancient China. After one year of learning the Chinese language, he started to learn Chinese medicine. Hans thought TCM is one of the best-preserved aspects of Chinese culture. He hopes to solve problems and understand Chinese culture deeply by learning TCM. Without a language barrier, Hans read some of the ancient Chinese medical classics, such as Huangdi Neijing and Yi Jing. He believes different aspects of traditional Chinese culture interact with each other. Studying TCM also changed Hans’ mind and lifestyle. He used to be addicted to electronic devices and stay up late every night, trapped in this fast-paced but unhealthy daily routine. But now, according to the Yin-Yang theory in TCM, he lives a balanced and peaceful life, practicing good habits such as drinking tea and meditating, as well as reading ancient books. Hans also uses what he has learned to help his family. Previously, acupuncture tools and Chinese medicine were necessities when he went back to his home in Germany. With acupuncture and Chinese-style massages, various physical disorders of his family have been well-treated. Now, he always provides his family members with some advice about staying fit after he checks their skin or tongues online. Over time, his family gradually began to understand his passion for TCM. He plans to run a traditional Chinese clinic in China or Germany after graduation, which could serve as a bridge between the two countries and publicize TCM and its culture. 24. What attracted Hans to Henan Province to study TCM? A. Its rich TCM culture. B. Its unique language. C. Its beautiful scenery. D. Its famous university. 25. What makes it possible for Hans to read ancient Chinese medical classics? A. His family’s support. B. His financial situation. C. His language learning. D. His previous experience. 26. How has studying TCM affected Hans? A. He has made a big fortune. B. He has known many medical experts. C. He has set up a clinic in Germany. D. He has developed a healthy lifestyle. 27. Which of the following best describes Hans? A. Ambitious. B. Brave. C. Humorous. D. Good-mannered. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了95后德国青年Hans学习中医文化的事情。介绍了他如何学习中医以及中医对他的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Hans came to Central China’s Henan Province in 2015, where a rich TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical master of ancient China.(汉斯于2015年来到中国中部的河南省，在那里可以欣赏到丰富的中医文化，因为河南省是中国古代医学大师张仲景的家乡)”可知，河南丰富的中医文化吸引Hans来到河南学习中医。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Without a language barrier, Hans read some of the ancient Chinese medical classics, such as Huangdi Neijing and Yi Jing.(没有语言障碍，Hans阅读了一些中国古代医学经典，如《黄帝内经》和《易经》)”可知，语言学习使Hans能够阅读中国古代医学经典。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Studying TCM also changed Hans’ mind and lifestyle. He used to be addicted to electronic devices and stay up late every night, trapped in this fast-paced but unhealthy daily routine. But now, according to the Yin-Yang theory in TCM, he lives a balanced and peaceful life, practicing good habits such as drinking tea and meditating, as well as reading ancient books.(学习中医也改变了Hans的思想和生活方式。他曾经沉迷于电子设备，每天都熬夜，被困在这种快节奏但不健康的日常生活中。但现在，根据中医的阴阳学说，他过着平衡和平的生活，养成了饮茶、冥想以及阅读古籍等好习惯)”可知，学习中医对Hans的影响是让他养成了健康的生活方式。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He plans to run a traditional Chinese clinic in China or Germany after graduation, which could serve as a bridge between the two countries and publicize TCM and its culture.(他计划毕业后在中国或德国经营一家中医诊所，作为两国之间的桥梁，宣传中医及其文化)”可推知，Hans很有抱负。故选A。 C There’s been an enormous amount of progress in language-generating AI over the past couple of years. OpenAI’s GPT-3, for example, is a language generator that’s been trained on 570 GB of text, and is able to write convincing essays. Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet. Google’s new AI tool, Verse by Verse, allows users to compose a poem using “suggestions” from classic American poets. The AI generates these suggestions based on what it’s collected from reading the poets’ oeuvres. That is, the program uses machine-learning algorithms (算法) to identify the language patterns of a particular poet’s work, then applies those to text it generates as the suggestions. The tool works by allowing users to select from 22 American poets for the suggestions, including legends like Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar Allen Poe. After a user has selected up to three poets, they then pick the type of poem they’d like to write. The program offers various poetic forms, and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line. Users then give the program a first line, and AI generates the rest of the poem. The AI makes suggestions line by line, however, making it more interactive than other top language generator s out there. As far as results, they’re interesting, but not nearly as impressive as GPT-3’s writings. According to Google engineer Dave Uthus, “The system was trained to have a general understanding of what lines of verse would best follow a previous line of verse. So even if you write on topics not commonly seen in classic poetry, the system will try its best to make lines that are relevant. The widely varying degrees of Verse by Verse output quality show that while good lyrical gems (宝石) may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.” 28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new AI tool for writing poetry. B. To compare different language-generating tools. C. To discuss the progress of langauge-generators. D. To analyze the latest essays of OpenAI’s GPT-3. 29. What does the underlined word “oeuvres” mean in paragraph 2? A. Suggestions. B. Works. C. Messages. D. Patterns. 30. What can the Verse by Verse tool do? A. Collect poems for inspiration. B. Give the program a starting line. C. Generate different poetic forms. D Compose poems as good as GPT-3. 31. What is Dave Uthus’s attitude to the capability of Verse by Verse tool? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Puzzled. D. Confident. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，介绍谷歌的新人工智能工具可帮助您像一位传奇诗人一样写诗。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet(当然，谷歌也在开发语言生成器，其最新的一个功能是帮助你像传奇诗人一样写作)”可知，首段的功能是引出文章话题——写诗的人工智能工具，故选A。 【29题详解】 词语猜测题。根据第二段“The AI generates these suggestions based on what it’s collected from reading the poets’…(这个AI根据它从阅读诗人……中收集的信息来生成这些建议)”可知，人工智能根据从阅读诗人的作品中收集的信息生成这些建议，故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The program offers various poetic forms, and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line.( 这个程序提供了多种诗歌形式，甚至允许用户选择每行的音节数)”可知，该程序提供多种诗歌形式，甚至允许用户选择每行的音节数，故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“while good lyrical gems may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.（虽然好的抒情诗歌偶尔会出现，但人工智能团队的进一步工作仍有待完成）”，可知虽然好的抒情诗歌偶尔会出现，但人工智能团队的进一步工作仍有待完成，可推理出Dave Uthus的态度是客观的，故选B。 D A physical checkup often begins with a series of questions: What foods do you eat? Do you smoke? Getting any exercise? A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife. The researchers find four majors associated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering, biology/life sciences, business, and — here’s a surprise — communications/journalism. Perhaps chasing after big stories keeps us journalists in shape. It has long been established that people with more education tend to be healthier. But does one’s major matter? To find out the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey. Their sample consisted of 3.7 million United States-born adults between the ages of 45 and 64—the time of life when physical functioning problems start to appear. Participants noted whether they had difficulty walking or climbing stairs, dressing or bathing. A “yes” answer in any of those categories resulted in a grade of relatively poor health. The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree, but went no further in their education. They noted each person’s college major, which they placed into one of 15 categories. They found substantial differences in health across majors. Two majors are particularly disadvantaged in midlife. The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology/social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors. The researchers argue this is likely due to several factors. Psychology majors tend to suffer from high unemployment and low earnings. Law/public policy majors often enter the field of law enforcement (执行). The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality (因果关系). But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyle s than others. Their findings might even inspire a warning country song: Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be psychology majors. 32. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Smoking can lead to poor health. B. Diet is more important than exercise. C. Physical checkups keep you healthy. D. College major could be added to a checkup list. 33. How do researchers draw their conclusion? A. By doing face-to-face interviews. B. By following participants’ daily routines. C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the representative data. 34. Which major is most likely bad for midlife health according to the researchers? A. Engineering. B. Business. C. Psychology. D. Journalism. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. Your college major predicts midlife health. B. Your major can influence your career interests. C. The annual physical checkup is necessary to life. D. People with more education tend to be healthier. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，主要介绍了新研究发现大学专业可以对中年时期的健康产生影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife(一项新研究表明，可以在该列表中添加另一个显著的指标：你的大学专业是什么？研究发现，一个人选择的大学学习领域是中年健康的一个统计学上显著的预测因素)”可知，大学所学专业也可以被添加到体检中。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To find out, the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey(为了找出答案，研究人员分析了具有全国代表性的美国社区调查的数据)”可知，研究者们分析了有代表性的数据。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology/social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors(与商学专业的学生相比，心理学/社会工作和法律/公共政策专业的学生患健康不良的几率要高出1.9倍。)”可知，心理学专业最有可能不利于中年健康。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的描述：“A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? (这项新研究表明，另一个可能的指标可以添加到这个列表中：你的大学专业是什么？)”、第五段“The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree, but went no further in their education.(研究人员关注的是667,362名获得学士学位但没有继续深造的参与者)”以及最后一段“The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality (因果关系). But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyle s than others.( 研究人员表示，他们发现了一些关联，但并非因果关系的证据。但他们提出了一个令人信服的观点，即某些专业的学生比其他专业的学生更倾向于过上更健康的生活方式)”可知，本文主要讲的是大学专业可能是预测中年健康的一个重要因素。因此，选项A“Your college major predicts midlife health.”最能概括文章的主题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 HOW TO DO HARD THINGS It’s an inconvenient truth that the road to success isn’t a secret.

The stronger your why, the better. ____39____ Every day at a particular hour, you will do this hard thing. Pure focus, no multi-tasking. Take it easy at first and gradually lengthen the amount of time you spend on this. Enjoy it, too. You’re a winner and you can do it. Leave the doubts behind. When you’re doing something hard, your brain will try to find ways to stop doing it. You’ll want to look things up or find easy ways of doing the hard thing. Don’t give in to these tempting arguments during your hard work sessions. ____40____ If you keep improving yourself by doing hard things, you’ll be getting better at your targeted skill. So don’t spend too much time working around the hard task. Just do the hard thing instead. A. This should be easy to figure out. B. Change your thinking so the hard thing looks good. C. But we don’t do those things because they are hard. D. Make a commitment and turn the hard thing into a habit. E. If you are not clear about it, you’ll lose motivation quickly. F. Do whatever you want after or before, but stay focused during. G. Life is hard sometimes, and you will have to do hard things at some point. 【答案】36. C 37. A 38. E 39. D 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍如何做困难的事。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Most of us know exactly what we need to do to improve our lives.(我们大多数人都清楚地知道我们需要做什么来改善我们的生活。)”和下文“We prefer things that feel good and avoid things that we know are hard but most effective.(我们喜欢感觉良好的事情，避免做我们知道很难但最有效的事情。)”可知，空处和上文形成转折关系，指出我们不做困难的事情。C项：But we don’t do those things because they are hard.(但我们不做这些事情，因为它们很难。)符合语境。故选C。 【37题详解】 根据上文“First, you need to make sure you know what the hard, but effective thing is in the skill or job that you want to improve.(首先，你需要确保你知道你想要提高的技能或工作中困难但有效的地方是什么。)”可知，上文提到需要确定想要提高的技能或工作中的困难但有效的事情，接着说明这通常很容易确定，因为它通常是产生结果的事情。A项：This should be easy to figure out.(这应该很容易弄清楚。)符合语境。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Make sure you know why you want to do this hard thing.(确定你为什么要做这件困难的事情。)”可知，紧接着需要解释原因，而E项：If you are not clear about it, you’ll lose motivation quickly.(如果你不清楚这一点，你会很快失去动力。)恰好提供了这一解释，即如果不知道自己为什么要做这件事情，那么动力很快就会消失。因此，E选项与上一句形成了因果关系，符合语境。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Every day at a particular hour, you will do this hard thing. Pure focus, no multi-tasking. Take it easy at first and gradually lengthen the amount of time you spend on this. Enjoy it, too. You’re a winner and you can do it.(每天在特定的时间，你会做这件困难的事情。纯粹的专注，没有多重任务。一开始不要着急，然后逐渐延长你花在这上面的时间。也好好享受吧。你是赢家，你可以做到。)”可知，本段介绍如何把困难的事情变成习惯。D项：Make a commitment and turn the hard thing into a habit.(做出承诺，把困难的事情变成习惯。)符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Don’t give in to these tempting arguments during your hard work sessions.(在你努力工作的时候，不要屈服于这些诱人的争论。)”可知，上文提到“不要在你的努力工作中屈服于这些诱人的论点”，即不要分心或放弃。而F项：Do whatever you want after or before, but stay focused during.(在之后或之前做你想做的任何事情，但要保持专注。)正是对“不要分心”的进一步解释和强调，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During the 2006 World Cup in Germany I worked as a volunteer in an information booth(问讯处).

When I looked down at the rug(地毯), it was covered with tiny shards(碎片) of sparking red, pink and clear glass. Missi said, “Oh, no, not the vase.” “Why? What did I do?” My face reddened. “Abby, that glass vase was one of the few items my relatives brought when they came to America,” Missi replied nervously. “If you’d broken anything else in the department, I would have gladly said I did it. But you’re going to have to tell my mom that it was your fault, and she’s going to be really mad.” I was terrified. I’d destroyed a priceless family heirloom (传家宝). Why did I have to spin around like that? We gathered up the broken pieces. I kept saying that maybe it could be fixed, but Missi said it didn’t look possible. I insisted we keep the pieces. The glass was so delicate, like a colorful light bulb had exploded. Some of it broke even more as we tried to sweep it up carefully. Missi said her mom would be home by six. My stomach was in knots. Would her mom yell at me or punish me? Would she tell me that I couldn’t stay in their department for the weekend? Although it was hot then, I was in a cold sweat and couldn’t stop playing the scene over in my mind. The only thing I could think of to say was “I’m sorry”. A couple of minutes after six, we heard a key turn in the door. Missi’s mom was home. Right from the start, we could see she was in a good mood. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Oh, thank you! I always hated that ugly vase! You’ve done me a huge favor!” Missi’s mom screamed with delight. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Right from the start we could see she was in a good mood. And she offered to take us out for a cold drink. Before that, I gathered my courage to say, “Aunt, I have something to tell you. I came with Missi, and we were talking and laughing. I spun around and didn’t look beforehand. The glass vase behind the couch fell. It broke into pieces. I am sorry.” I could feel my voice trembling. “Oh, thank you! I always hated that ugly vase! You’ve done me a huge favor.” Missi’s mom screamed with delight. I couldn’t believe my ears. This was not at all the reaction I had expected. Feeling shocked for a while, I couldn’t stop the tears running down my face. I suddenly realized how considerate Missi’s mom was. She probably was not happy because I had broken the vase. But she saw my uneasiness and tried to make me feel at ease. She taught me a lesson about consideration which I would always remember. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在高兴之时不小心打碎了Missi家的花瓶，Missi这个花瓶很重要，因此作者非常害怕。Missi的妈妈快要回家了，作者思索着应该怎么对她说这件事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从一开始，我们就能看出她心情很好”可知，第一段可描写作者向Missi的妈妈坦白自己打破了花瓶。 ②由第二段首句内容“哦，谢谢你！”我一直讨厌那个丑陋的花瓶！你帮了我一个大忙。”可知，第二段可描写Missi的妈妈非常体贴地安慰作者，作者感到轻松。 2.续写线索：Missi的妈妈回家——告知真相——得到谅解——安慰——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 提议：offer/propose 颤抖：tremble/quiver 讨厌：hate/dislike 情绪类 高兴的：happy / delight /glad 担忧：uneasiness /worry 【点睛】[高分句型1] She taught me a lesson about consideration which I would always remember.

B Hans is a young German born after 1995, who is a big fan of Chinese culture. He has been learning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) since 2016. Now he is studying for his master’s degree at Henan University of Chinese Medicine. As he thought some diseases can’t be treated thoroughly with Western medicine, he decided to research into TCM. Hans came to Central China’s Henan Province in 2015, where a rich TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing, the medical master of ancient China. After one year of learning the Chinese language, he started to learn Chinese medicine. Hans thought TCM is one of the best-preserved aspects of Chinese culture. He hopes to solve problems and understand Chinese culture deeply by learning TCM. Without a language barrier, Hans read some of the ancient Chinese medical classics, such as Huangdi Neijing and Yi Jing. He believes different aspects of traditional Chinese culture interact with each other. Studying TCM also changed Hans’ mind and lifestyle. He used to be addicted to electronic devices and stay up late every night, trapped in this fast-paced but unhealthy daily routine. But now, according to the Yin-Yang theory in TCM, he lives a balanced and peaceful life, practicing good habits such as drinking tea and meditating, as well as reading ancient books. Hans also uses what he has learned to help his family. Previously, acupuncture tools and Chinese medicine were necessities when he went back to his home in Germany. With acupuncture and Chinese-style massages, various physical disorders of his family have been well-treated. Now, he always provides his family members with some advice about staying fit after he checks their skin or tongues online. Over time, his family gradually began to understand his passion for TCM.

C There’s been an enormous amount of progress in language-generating AI over the past couple of years. OpenAI’s GPT-3, for example, is a language generator that’s been trained on 570 GB of text, and is able to write convincing essays. Google, of course, is working on language generators too, and its latest one helps you write like a legendary poet. Google’s new AI tool, Verse by Verse, allows users to compose a poem using “suggestions” from classic American poets. The AI generates these suggestions based on what it’s collected from reading the poets’ oeuvres. That is, the program uses machine-learning algorithms (算法) to identify the language patterns of a particular poet’s work, then applies those to text it generates as the suggestions. The tool works by allowing users to select from 22 American poets for the suggestions, including legends like Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar Allen Poe. After a user has selected up to three poets, they then pick the type of poem they’d like to write. The program offers various poetic forms, and even allows users to select the number of syllables per line. Users then give the program a first line, and AI generates the rest of the poem. The AI makes suggestions line by line, however, making it more interactive than other top language generator s out there. As far as results, they’re interesting, but not nearly as impressive as GPT-3’s writings. According to Google engineer Dave Uthus, “The system was trained to have a general understanding of what lines of verse would best follow a previous line of verse. So even if you write on topics not commonly seen in classic poetry, the system will try its best to make lines that are relevant. The widely varying degrees of Verse by Verse output quality show that while good lyrical gems (宝石) may occasionally emerge, further work by the AI team remains to be done.” 28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce a new AI tool for writing poetry. B. To compare different language-generating tools. C. To discuss the progress of langauge-generators. D. To analyze the latest essays of OpenAI’s GPT-3. 29. What does the underlined word “oeuvres” mean in paragraph 2? A. Suggestions. B. Works. C. Messages. D. Patterns. 30. What can the Verse by Verse tool do? A. Collect poems for inspiration. B. Give the program a starting line. C. Generate different poetic forms. D. Compose poems as good as GPT-3. 31. What is Dave Uthus’s attitude to the capability of Verse by Verse tool? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Puzzled. D. Confident. D A physical checkup often begins with a series of questions: What foods do you eat? Do you smoke? Getting any exercise? A new research suggests another telling indicator could be added to that list: What was your college major? The study finds one’s chosen field of college study is a statistically significant predictor of health in midlife The researchers find four majors associated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering, biology/life sciences, business, and — here’s a surprise — communications/journalism. Perhaps chasing after big stories keeps us journalists in shape. It has long been established that people with more education tend to be healthier. But does one’s major matter? To find out, the researchers analyzed data from the nationally representative American Community Survey. Their sample consisted of 3.7 million United States-born adults between the ages of 45 and 64—the time of life when physical functioning problems start to appear. Participants noted whether they had difficulty walking or climbing stairs, dressing or bathing. A “yes” answer in any of those categories resulted in a grade of relatively poor health. The researchers focused on the 667,362 participants who earned a bachelor’s degree, but went no further in their education. They noted each person’s college major, which they placed into one of 15 categories. They found substantial differences in health across majors. Two majors are particularly disadvantaged in midlife. The chances of poor health are 1.9 times greater among psychology/social work and law/public policy majors compared to business majors. The researchers argue this is likely due to several factors. Psychology majors tend to suffer from high unemployment and low earnings. Law/public policy majors often enter the field of law enforcement (执行). The researchers say that they have discovered associations, not proof of causality (因果关系). But they make a convincing case that some majors lead people to live healthier lifestyle s than others. Their findings might even inspire a warning country song: Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be psychology majors. 32. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. Smoking can lead to poor health. B. Diet is more important than exercise. C. Physical checkups keep you healthy. D. College major could be added to a checkup list. 33. How do researchers draw their conclusion? A. By doing face-to-face interviews. B. By following participants’ daily routines. C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the representative data. 34. Which major is most likely bad for midlife health according to the researchers? A. Engineering. B. Business. C. Psychology. D. Journalism. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. Your college major predicts midlife health. B. Your major can influence your career interests. C. The annual physical checkup is necessary to life. D. People with more education tend to be healthier. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 HOW TO DO HARD THINGS It’s an inconvenient truth that the road to success isn’t a secret.

I had been telling my best friend a silly story and had spun around in the living room when I heard that sound and froze. When I looked down at the rug(地毯), it was covered with tiny shards(碎片) of sparking red, pink and clear glass. Missi said, “Oh, no, not the vase.” “Why? What did I do?” My face reddened. “Abby, that glass vase was one of the few items my relatives brought when they came to America,” Missi replied nervously. “If you’d broken anything else in the department, I would have gladly said I did it. But you’re going to have to tell my mom that it was your fault, and she’s going to be really mad.” I was terrified. I’d destroyed a priceless family heirloom (传家宝). Why did I have to spin around like that? We gathered up the broken pieces. I kept saying that maybe it could be fixed, but Missi said it didn’t look possible. I insisted we keep the pieces. The glass was so delicate, like a colorful light bulb had exploded. Some of it broke even more as we tried to sweep it up carefully. Missi said her mom would be home by six. My stomach was in knots. Would her mom yell at me or punish me? Would she tell me that I couldn’t stay in their department for the weekend? Although it was hot then, I was in a cold sweat and couldn’t stop playing the scene over in my mind. The only thing I could think of to say was “I’m sorry”. A couple of minutes after six, we heard a key turn in the door. Missi’s mom was home. Right from the start, we could see she was in a good mood. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Oh, thank you! I always hated that ugly vase! You’ve done me a huge favor!” Missi’s mom screamed with delight. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
