Outside the couple’s fourth-floor apartment, an untidy homeless man was often yelling on the street corner, sometimes keeping them awake at night. One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first unexpected, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “It was the weirdest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year. But his story, the life inside of him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson hadn’t picked up a brush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the impressive 30-by-40-inch canvas——signed by both subject and artist——for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone down-and-out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or misunderstood. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.” 24．What inspired Brian Peterson to approach the homeless man? A．The loud yell from the street comer. B．The beauty he saw on the homeless’ face. C．The desire to donate money to the homeless. D．The positive impact from Love Does. 25．What does Peterson do with the proceeds from selling the portraits? A．Donates them to local homeless shelters and relief centers. B．Invests them in his nonprofit organization, Faces of Santa Ana. C．Gives money to the portrait subject and helps people regain stability. D．Uses them to fund the local disadvantaged communities. 26．What impact have the portraits had on buyers? A．They have become friends with the homeless individuals. B．They have overcome their misconceptions about the homeless. C．They have stopped crossing the street to avoid the homeless. D．They have gained profits from those who are down-and-out. 27．What is the main purpose of Faces of Santa Ana? A．To raise awareness about the homeless through art. B．To provide resources and housing for the homeless. C．To boost connection between artists and their subjects. D．To discover the root cause of homelessness. C Dementia (痴呆), a serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, affects the ability to think, remember and behave normally. 160,000 people have some forms of dementia in Sweden, Alzheimer’s disease being the most common. At the same time, many new diagnostic methods and early-intervention treatment have been developed in recent years, which highlights the need to identify more risk factors for the disease. Previous studies have demonstrated a possible association between depression and dementia. A present study now clearly shows that people who have been diagnosed with depression are more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Unlike the previous ones, the study was conducted using Region Stockholm’s administrative healthcare database, which contains all healthcare contacts recorded by the region. It shows that the risk of Alzheimer’s disease was more than twice as high in patients with stress and in patients with depression as it was in patients without either condition; in patients with both it was up to four times as high. “The reason for it is unknown,” says the study’s last author Axel C. Carlsson. “The finding is important in that it enables us to improve preventative efforts and understand links with the other risk factors for dementia.” The researchers focused on patients between the ages of 18 and 65 and between 2012 and 2013. They identified 44,447 people with a diagnosis of depression and followed them for eight years to see how many of them were later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. A comparison with all other 1,362,548 individuals in the age group showed that more people with depression had also been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. “It’s very uncommon for people in this age group to develop dementia, so we need to identify all possible risk factors for the disease,” says Dr Carlsson. “We show here that the diagnosis is more common in people who have suffered depression, but more studies will be required if we’re to demonstrate any reason there.” 28．What do the previous studies and the present one differ in? A．The target. B．The method. C．The purpose. D．The theory. 29．Why is the new finding important? A．It clarifies the condition of dementia. B．It makes clear the risks of depression. C．It confirms the previous study finding. D．It helps with the dementia prevention. 30．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about concerning the study? A．Its process. B．Its background. C．Its application. D．Its assessment. 31．What may the follow-up studies focus on? A．Why dementia spreads wide in Sweden. B．What links exist among mental diseases. C．How depression connects with dementia. D．What other risk factors lead to dementia. D When wind blows through a bigleaf maple (大叶枫), paper-thin, wing-like seeds called samaras gently spin towards the ground. The fruit’s tissue allows the wind to guide it further away from the tree. Inspired by the seeds, researchers designed a tiny, winged microchip, no larger than a grain of sand, that is powerful enough to monitor environmental pollution and airborne disease. Called the microflier, the microchip has no motor to push it forward in the air but instead was designed to catch the wind. To perfect the microchip’s flying capability and shape, scientists took inspiration from the forms of various airborne seeds. The research team improved various designs until the microfliers flew slowly and more steadily than nature’s samara seeds. The slower falling rate allows the microchip to keep flying for longer, which gives it more time to collect data and monitor air pollutants and airborne diseases. To perfect the microflier’s flight, researchers took inspiration from children’s pop-up books to create the three-dimensional wings. Usually, electronic microchips are flat, two-dimensional objects, but something flat will not take flight. To make the 3-D shape, John A. Rogers and his team built a stretched rubber base that the microchip rests on. The wings pop into flight mode when the rubber base is relaxed. The chip gathers data with sensors across its surface that can sense and monitor pH levels, test for heavy metals or chemicals, and track air pollution. An antenna (天线) on the microflier then sends all the collected data to a computer or phone. Rogers and his team are planning to test out the electronic chips soon by dropping thousands of the chips in a field. The microfliers will change color depending on the number of heavy metals present in the field where they land. A drone will then fly over the area and take photos of the microflier’s colors, allowing researchers to map out the pollutants. Rogers and his team also designed the microchips to break down over time to prevent environmental pollution. 32．What is the winged microchip designed to do? A．Guide seeds from the tree. B．Keep track of air qualities. C．Prevent airborne diseases. D．Catch the wind to fly away. 33．What do paragraph 2 and 3 focus on? A．Where researchers draw inspiration. B．What the microchip does for humans. C．How the microflier has improved. D．Why the microflier flies more stably. 34．What do the researchers do with the microflier in the future? A．Drop chips in the field. B．Monitor the soil color. C．Map out air pollutants. D．Handle soil pollution. 35．Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text? A．Electronic chips for finding airborne diseases B．Microflier: A flying device of spreading seeds C．Drone: A photographer of microflier’s colors D．Winged microchips for monitoring environment 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。 Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to? 36 FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊). While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire. 37 Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media? Consider your own social media posts. 38 Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out. 39 You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives. Learn to shake it off. We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter? 40 And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy, all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all. A．If so, you are not alone. B．Value your friends in real life. C．Learn to appreciate the positives. D．Why does it have such a stimulating effect? E．They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show. F．The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences. G．Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life? 第三部分语言运用(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。 Tired of the busy and chaotic life in Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow down to lead an eco-friendly life.

She wished her son Steve would visit her, even if for only a day. Of course, the young man had a family of his own now, a darling little daughter Eva, and a business to take care of. Steve got on video calls with Sue every other day. However, Sue thought of her son and granddaughter, wishing she was with them. One day, Sue heard sounds from the neighboring house. Sue looked through the window and was delighted to see that she had new neighbors. One morning, when Sue woke up and walked along the shore, she heard the sounds of water being splashed and the sound of children laughing wildly. She followed the sound and was concerned on finding the twins from the neighboring house standing, knee deep in ocean water. Something didn’t feel right. “Why would anyone leave their kids unattended on the shore?” Sue thought. She grabbed the kids’ hands and walked them to their home. As Sue opened the door, she found the young mother lying unconscious on the kitchen floor. Sue didn’t waste a second in calling 911. The first responders managed to revive (恢复) her consciousness on the spot. “My boys! Ralph! Ray!” the woman cried out to her kids as the ambulance took her away. Sue said, “Don’t worry. Everything will be alright. I’ll take care of your sweet boys.” She kept her promise and looked after the kids like a grandmother. She took Ralph and Ray in and let them sleep in the bedroom that was specially made for her granddaughter Eva. It was during these days that she knew that the boys’ father died of illness. Sue knew that the neighbor, Selina, had been trying to make ends meet by selling sweaters and socks that she knit. Looking at Selina’s children eat and drink with such joy, she realized how much she longed to see her little Eva.

I can use it when I make some of my own. M: Oh, I look forward to that. This stuff is expensive to buy. 2．C 【原文】M: My online banking has been restricted. The bank said my cards had been used at several game stores, which I would never do. They can’t have been stolen, either. W: Did you put the card details on the computer? Maybe your kid has bought something without realizing it? 3．A 【原文】M: Did you put on sun protection? And make sure to wear your flat shoes, so you don’t slip on the roof. W: Yes, I know. Oh, but I did forget something. I’ll be wet all day if I don’t bring a cloth to dry off with. 4．B 【原文】M: I’m just going to accompany you to the entrance to make sure Mark is waiting for you. W: I appreciate it, but it’s not necessary. Just drop me off round the corner. Don’t worry. I’ll be home before 10:00 p.m. I have English class first thing tomorrow morning. 5．C 【原文】W: What happens when the guy with the ball shoots from the far line? Do they win? M: No. That’s a three-point shot. Shooting from inside the line gives you two. There’s also a free throw which happens when another player breaks a rule. You get two and each of them is worth one point. 6．B 7．C 【原文】M: She is just so cute. Remember when you brought her home and she was all dirty. Such a big difference now. W: I know. She’s ruined a few dresses when we go out for walks. She likes to roll over in the muddy water. M: How is she with the children? I was a bit worried. You read lots of stories about families adopting dogs only for them to attack. W: No, nothing like that. Honestly, she loves them, especially Tom. She’s so protective of him. With Greg traveling for business all the time, I feel so much safer with her in the house. 8．C 9．B 10．C 【原文】M: We’re struggling to find a place to hold our wedding in. W: Is it because everywhere is booked up? M: No, it’s just too expensive, but the main reason is that Melissa wants something different. W: So not a traditional church wedding? M: No, we started looking at castles in Scotland. W: What about something smaller? Like a farm house? M: We looked at a couple of those, but they are very popular. W: If you want to be really different, you could get married in the zoo. M: Really? W: Yeah. I was at a wedding there in summer. Plus, you both love animals. M: I’ll phone them and see what dates they have. W: I have a friend that works there. What date were you looking at? M: I wanted a spring wedding, but Melissa wanted something in January. She won. W: Let me check with them. 11．C 12．A 13．A 【原文】W: You need to remember to pack enough clothing. On our trip last year, we had to buy socks in Spain because you forgot them. M: It was fine last time. Everything worked out easily. Besides, we’re going to the beaches in Mexico. I won’t even be wearing shoes most of the time. W: That’s not what I mean. I just want you to make sure you have everything. M: Well, my bag weighs about 16 kilograms now, so there’s a lot in it already. W: The airplane company will allow up to 22 kilograms. M: I know that I have everything. But just because I can bring that heavy of a bag to the airport doesn’t mean I have to. Besides, if I want to take things home with us, we will need that free space. Otherwise, you will need to leave some things behind. W: Fine. I understand what you’re saying. Have you called the hotel yet to confirm our room? M: Yes. I did that this morning. All we need now is to pack some food for the flight. 14．B 15．A 16．B 17．B 【原文】M: Hey Jenny, I’m a bit worried about you. The whole team has noticed you haven’t come to basketball practice recently. W: I know. I just have so much schoolwork and so many responsibilities these days. M: You must be worried about being unable to finish everything. If I can do anything to help, I will. W: I appreciate that. It’s OK. I know I can finish my work. Doing well in school is my highest priority right now, so it’s difficult to commit fully to being the captain of our team. M: I know you have a lot of responsibilities. If you want, I can tell your friends and our teammates that you need support. W: That’d be so great. If anyone can help me in studying, that would be a huge help as well. M: We’re in different grades, so I can’t help much with your schoolwork. But I can help with your captain’s duties. W: That would relieve a lot of stress for me. M: I’ll make a plan to organize some of the coaching plans and practice activities. W: Thank you for doing that for me. When all my work is finished, I promise to help you practice your defensive skills. 18．C 19．A 20．A 【原文】 Shinichi Sakamoto is 57, and works for Shimizu, one of Japan’s biggest construction companies. He is part of the greying and falling workforce. According to Mr. Sakamoto, statistics showed that a third of Japanese construction laborers are over 54 years old, and they are considering retiring so soon. And they’re not being replaced by younger builders. “The number of laborers under 30 is just above 10%,” he said. In September, Mr. Sakamoto’s firm gained a promising new co-worker — a robot. It is currently working on a high-rise development in Osaka, transporting heavy building materials every night from the ground floor to where they’re needed. “Can you imagine that materials are in the right position in the morning when laborers come to the site?” said Mr. Sakamoto, “He even works at night time.” Robots will benefit from superfast 5G mobile networks. Better connections will make it easier for multiple robots to cooperate. Many small robots could work together on different parts of a task. An example is the 3D printing robots at a university in Singapore, each of which can print concrete following a computer map. All robots in a group could learn from what one robot is learning. Mr. Sakamoto also introduced other robot workers.

But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone down-and-out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or misunderstood.”（彼得森自己画了41幅这样的肖像。但成品带给穷困潦倒者的不仅仅是金钱。他发现，买家倾向于与画中人物的故事联系起来，找到他们可能被忽视或误解的人的相似之处。）可推知，“圣安娜之脸”的主要目的是通过艺术提高人们对无家可归者的关注。故选A项。 28．B 29．D 30．A 31．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，该研究清楚地表明，被诊断为抑郁症的人更有可能被诊断为阿尔茨海默病。文章还介绍了这种研究的意义和接下来的发展方向等。 28．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Unlike the previous ones, the study was conducted using Region Stockholm’s administrative healthcare database, which contains all healthcare contacts recorded by the region.

(这一发现很重要，因为它使我们能够改善预防工作，并了解与痴呆症其他风险因素的联系。)”可知，新发现很重要是因为它有助于预防痴呆症。故选D。 30．主旨大意题。由文章第四段“The researchers focused on patients between the ages of 18 and 65 and between 2012 and 2013. They identified 44,447 people with a diagnosis of depression and followed them for eight years to see how many of them were later diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. A comparison with all other 1,362,548 individuals in the age group showed that more people with depression had also been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. (研究人员关注的是年龄在18岁到65岁之间以及2012年到2013年之间的患者。他们确定了44,447名被诊断为抑郁症的人，并对他们进行了8年的跟踪调查，看看他们中有多少人后来被诊断为阿尔茨海默病。与该年龄组其他1362548人的比较显示，更多患有抑郁症的人也被诊断患有阿尔茨海默病。)”可知，第4段主要是关于研究的过程。故选A。 31．推理判断题。由文章最后一段““It’s very uncommon for people in this age group to develop dementia, so we need to identify all possible risk factors for the disease,” says Dr Carlsson. “We show here that the diagnosis is more common in people who have suffered depression, but more studies will be required if we’re to demonstrate any reason there.” (卡尔森博士说：“这个年龄段的人患痴呆症非常罕见，所以我们需要确定这种疾病的所有可能的风险因素。”“我们在这里表明，这种诊断在患有抑郁症的人群中更为常见，但如果我们要证明其中的任何原因，还需要更多的研究。”)”可知，后续研究的重点是抑郁症与痴呆症的关系。故选C。 32．B 33．C 34．D 35．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种能够监测环境质量的带翼微芯片。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Inspired by the seeds, researchers designed a tiny, winged microchip, no larger than a grain of sand, that is powerful enough to monitor environmental pollution and airborne disease.(受这些种子的启发，研究人员设计了一种微小的带翼微芯片，它比一粒沙子还小，但却足以监测环境污染和空气传播疾病)”可知，这种芯片被设计用来监测空气质量。故选B项。 33．主旨大意题。根据第二段第二三句“To perfect the microchip’s flying capability and shape, scientists took inspiration from the forms of various airborne seeds. The research team improved various designs until the microfliers flew slowly and more steadily than nature’s samara seeds.(为了完善微芯片的飞行能力和形状，科学家们从各种通过空气传播的种子的形式中获得灵感。研究小组改进了各种设计，直到微型飞行器比自然界的翅果种子飞得更慢、更稳定)”及第三段第一句“To perfect the microflier’s flight, researchers took inspiration from children’s pop-up books to create the three-dimensional wings.(为了完善微型飞行器的飞行，研究人员从儿童立体书中获得灵感，创造了三维翅膀)”及第三句“To make the 3-D shape, John A. Rogers and his team built a stretched rubber base that the microchip rests on.(为了制作3D形状，John A.

Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. (社交媒体，以其固有的吸引力，让我们只分享我们生活中最好的一面，而忽略了更无聊的方面。虽然这可以被定性为不诚实，但这似乎是社交媒体所需要的氛围。)”可知，空处提问社交媒体为什么会有火上浇油的刺激作用，以引出下文对其原因的介绍。所以选择项D“Why does it have such a stimulating effect?
