B We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal. Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County. Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl. Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miler. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set. Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!” Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently had needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said. 4. Why does the author mention an actor’s struggle before a career breakthrough at the very beginning? A. To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle. B. To introduce a dog’s similar but even more striking experiences. C. To attract reader’s attention by giving dramatic examples. D. To clearly point out the main idea of the passage. 5. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film? A. Her adoption picture. B. Her flat-out smiling. C. her personality and ability. D. Her miserable experiences. 6. By saying “She is exactly the same” in the last paragraph, Buhler probably means _______. A. the dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it B. it took quite a lot of trouble for the dog to change her own fate. C. she’s really excited to see the dog she helped live such a happy life D. the dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn’t changed her inner quality 7 What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage? A. The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home” B. From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog D. Shelby’s Hard-luck Story C One of the improv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, as many as twenty-five to sixty-plus folks showed up. Jim made sure to fit everyone in so they could improve their skills. The class lasted for three hours. The usual cast of comic actors played improv comedy games. And we would go to the nearest mini market located in the building and get a snack or coffee during breaks. One day, three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin William — an internationally famous actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay air. Completely frozen, my fellow comics couldn’t summon up the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend. I froze for a moment, but then I composed myself. I told them, “Hey, if you guys can’t handle it, then I will ask him to come and join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. You’re going to ask Robin Williams to come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!” So I went up to Robin and his friend and asked him to join us. “We’re having an improve comedy class. We’re on break now, but we would be most humbled and honored if you would join us for the second half of the class.” Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.” It was like a grown-up child being asked to come and play. With that, he and his friend followed me up to the class. When he saw Robin, Jim said, “Oh my goodness, look who Micheline is bringing to class.” Jim’s eyes were all in astonishment and delight. “Why, it’s Robin Williams!” “Robin and his friend stayed the rest of the class and at the end of the class, Robin and Jim performed a skit (滑稽短剧). We actually watched him shape-shift as he prepared physically and mentally for his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.” What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! All I know is that if I hadn’t gathered up the courage to ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that experience. 8. What does the underlined word “compose” mean in paragraph 2? A. Look down. B. Calm down. C. Make up. D. Pick up. 9. What did the author want to show by telling the experience? A. It’s never too late to mend. B. He who laughs last laughs best. C. A brave attempt is half success. D. Actions speak louder than words. 10. What can be inferred from the text? A. It was the author’s patience that moved Robin Williams. B.

Micheline’s friends didn’t have the bravery to invite Robin Williams. 11. What kind of person was Robin Williams most likely to be? A. Well-known but approachable. B. Popular but humble. C. Respected but casual. D. Strict but generous. D A study led by a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology has updated the fossil (化石) record of mosquitoes (蚊子) by nearly 30 million years and has discovered that ancient male mosquitoes also fed on blood. The study was published online on Monday in the journal Current Biology, which discovered the oldest-known mosquito fossils --- two males dating back 130 million years near the town of Hammana in Lebanon. Dany Azar, who led the study, said the fossils not only told us the ancient origins of mosquitoes but also their feeding habits during the early stages of their growth. “We find that the mosquito group is developing, which gives us an idea about their behavior of feeding on blood” said Azar, who has been working on the subject for more than 25 years. Before the recent findings and their study, only female mosquitoes were known to feed on blood, which they need for protein to produce their eggs. Males, which lack skin-piercing (刺入皮肤的) mouthparts, mostly feed on honey and plant juices. “The feeding habits of insects, such as feeding on blood, are believed to have developed from their piercing mouthparts. However, studying the development of this behavior has been challenging due to the lack of insect fossil records.” Azar said. While reexamining the mosquito fossils last year, Azar found that their unique piercing mouthparts, very similar to those of female mosquitoes today, had been kept well. Their sharp mandibles (下颌骨) gradually disappeared over the centuries. Based on the findings, the researchers agreed that male mosquitoes fed on blood 130 million years ago. Azar, who is now a professor at the Nanjing institute, said he hopes that joint scientific explorations can be widely carried out in the future to promote more discoveries. 12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Female mosquitoes feed on blood for protein to produce eggs. B. A minority of male mosquitoes feed on honey and plant juices. C. Two female mosquito fossils were found near the town of Hammana. D. Male mosquitoes have the same feeding habits as female mosquitoes. 13. According to Azar, why is the study on the development of feeding on blood challenging? A. Because his team lacks money. B. Because there is no talent studying it. C. Because his team wants to study another subject. D. Because his team is short of insect fossil records. 14. What conclusion can we draw from mosquito fossils? A. Female mosquitoes fed on blood 130 million years ago. B. Male mosquitoes’ sharp mouthparts gradually disappeared. C. The mouthparts of the female mosquitoes have been kept well. D. Male mosquitoes once shared similar mouthparts with female today. 15. What’s the article mainly about? A. The mosquito group is developing. B. Ancient male mosquitoes probably fed on blood. C. The oldest-known mosquito fossils were discovered. D Female and male mosquitoes share similar feeding habits now. E Up and down the economic ladder, many Americans who work—and especially those raising kids—are pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activities (or even just sleeping). At the same time, research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness is purposeful or not. A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint (精确指出) how much leisure time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people had—basically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they want—and how pleased they were with their lives. The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didn’t work, the optimal (最佳) amount was four hours and 45 minutes. The research traced a correlation (关联) between free time and life satisfaction, but didn’t provide any definitive (最后的) insight into what underlies that correlation—“which is exciting, because this is a work in progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and a co-author of the paper, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in an academic journal. An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at (暗示) a possible explanation of the correlation they found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free time, and then report how they’d feel about that allotment (分配). “What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed, and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too much free time. It’s not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree of control over work schedules. Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction.” 16. According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work? A. They allow themselves more leisure time. B. They keep themselves busy on purpose. C They know how much leisure time is best. D. They experience higher level of satisfaction. 17. What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction? A. Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation. B. Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content. C. The paper on the correlation has achieved peer recognition. D. Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood. 18. Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity? A. B. C. D. 19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______. A. Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findings B. individuals are encouraged to control their work schedules C. people with tight schedules can’t benefit from the findings D. the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfaction 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） When I started my career, I observed people in leadership roles and thought, “They’re so lucky.

I am writing to tell you about it. The Spring Festival has a long history, which was originally celebrated to scare away a fierce beast “Nian”. Slightly different from that in the past, it is now given new meanings and regarded as a way for people to enjoy the reunion with their families, however far they live or work. On the New Year’s Eve, each family has its members gathered together. They tell each other their lives in the past year, exchange gifts and eat a lot of delicious meals in the warmth of the family. Children can get lucky money in red envelop. People have a good time, holding opera performances and other celebrations. I hope you will come here and experience this wonderful festival.
