B After his father was rushed to the hospital with gastrointestinal bleeding, 43-year-old Yanatha Desouvre began to panic. So he did the one thing he knew would calm himself: He wrote. "I'm so scared," he started. "I don't know what I'll do if I lose my dad." Over the next few weeks, Desouvre filled several notebooks, writing about his worry as well as his happy memories with his dad. Sometimes Desouvre cried as he wrote. Often he laughed. "Writing allowed me to face my fear." says Desouvre, "My pen was a tool to process the pain." He is in good company. A considerable body of research shows benefits to writing about a traumatic（创伤的）experience or difficult situation in a manner that psychologists refer to as "expressive writing". People who do this, recording their deepest thoughts and feelings, often show improved mental and physical health, says James Pennebaker, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Texas, Austin. Expressive writing is a specific technique, and it's different from writing in a journal. The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular trauma or challenge, and to do it in short sessions. Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience, experts say. Recognizing that something is bothering you is a crucial first step. Translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts. And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control. But expressive writing isn't a magical panacea. It shouldn't be used as a replacement for other treatments. And people coping with a severe trauma or depression may not find it useful to do on their own, without medical treatment. "My expressive writing gave me the courage to face my fears." Desouvre says, "And I believe it has helped me discover the hope I need to heal." 24. Why does the author mention Desouvre's story? A. To prove Desouvre's writing skill. B. To develop a new way to face fear. C. To present the idea of expressive writing. D. To demonstrate Desouvre's love for his father. 25. What can be learned about expressive writing? A. It contributes to overall well-being. B. It offers a sense of self-satisfaction. C. It takes the place of medical treatments. D. It requires the ability of language translation. 26. What matters most in the process of expressive writing? A. Sharing the narrative. B. Identifying the challenge. C. Putting down the feelings. D. Reflecting on the experience. 27. What does the underlined word "panacea" in paragraph 7 mean? A. Assumption. B. Convention. C. Condition. D. Solution. C African elephants call each other and respond to individual names, something that few wild animals do, according to a new research published recently. The names are one part of elephants' low rumbles（持续而低沉的声音）that they can hear over long distances across the savanna（热带草原）. Scientists believe that animals with complex social structures and family groups that separate and then reunite often may be more likely to use individual names. It's extremely rare for wild animals to call each other by unique names. Humans have names, of course, and our dogs come when their names are called. Baby dolphins invent their own names, called signature whistles, and parrots may also use names: Each of these naming species also possesses the ability to learn to pronounce unique new sounds throughout their lives, a rare talent that elephants also possess. While dolphins and parrots have been observed addressing each other by imitating（模仿）the sound of others from their species, elephants are the first non-human animals known to use names that do not involve imitation, the researchers suggested. Elephants make a wide range of sounds, from loud calls to rumbles so low that they cannot be heard by the human ear. Names are not always used in the elephant calls. But when names are called out, it is often over a long distance, and when adults are addressing young elephants, adults are also more likely to use names than calves, suggesting it could take years to learn this particular talent. The most common call is "a harmonically rich, low-frequency sound", according to the study in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. When the researchers played a recording to an elephant of their friend or family member calling out their name, the animal responded positively and energetically, ears flapping and trunk lifted, to recordings that contained their names. Sometimes elephants entirely ignored calls addressed to others. "Elephants are incredibly social, always talking and touching each other. This naming is probably one of the things that strengthens their ability to communicate to individuals," said co-author and Colorado State University ecologist George Wittemyer, who is also a scientific adviser for nonprofit Save the Elephants. "We just cracked open the door a bit to the elephant mind." 28. What is African elephants' rare talent in paragraph 2? A. The reply to their names. B. The invention of their own names. C. The unique sounds to call others. D. The ability to hear far-away rumbles. 29. What do we know about elephant calls? A. They can be learned through time. B. They are seldom used to call names. C. They are imitated from other species. D. They can hardly be heard by humans. 30. How did the elephants react to recordings containing their names? A. They addressed others. B. They ignored the sound. C. They touched each other. D. They moved their body parts. 31. What do George's words imply in the last paragraph? A. Naming makes elephants socially active. B. Elephants' minds deserve further exploration. C. Interaction between elephants develops better. D. Operations on elephants' brains need to be done. D A study by researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore（NTU Singapore）has shown that the use of cool paint coatings in cities can help pedestrians（行人）feel up to 1.5 degrees Celsius cooler, making the urban area more comfortable for work and play. Cool paint coatings contain additives that reflect the sun's heat to reduce surface heat absorption and emission. They have been touted（吹捧）as one way to cool down the urban area and relieve the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenomenon in which urban areas experience warmer temperatures than their outlying surroundings. To date, most studies of cool paint coatings have been either simulation-based（基于模拟的）or tested in scaled-down models, and understanding of its application in' real-world situations is limited. Now, NTU researchers have conducted a first of its kind real-world study in the tropics—coating the roofs, walls, and road pavements of an industrial area in Singapore—to comprehensively evaluate how well cool paint coatings work in reducing city heat. By. comparison with a nearby uncoated area, the team discovered that the coated environment was up to two degrees Celsius cooler in the afternoon, with pedestrian thermal comfort level improving by up to 1.5 degrees Celsius, measured using the Universal Thermal Climate Index, a common international standard for human outdoor temperature sensation that takes into account temperature, relative humidity, thermal radiation, and wind speed. Compared to conventional roofs, the roofs with the cool paint coating reflected 50 percent more sunlight and absorbed up to 40 percent less heat as a result, during the hottest time of a sunny day. The coated walls also prevented most of the heat from entering the industrial buildings. Lead investigator, Associate Professor Wan Man Pun at the NTU School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, said, "Results of the study are not just relevant for cities in Singapore where it is hot all year round, but for other urban areas around the world too. With global warming, people will increasingly look for ways to stay cool. Our study proves how cool paint coatings can be a strategy to reduce the urban heat island effect in future." 32. What are cool paint coatings intended for? A. Beautifying public surroundings. B. Improving eco-friendly additives. C. Sheltering people from global warming. D. Bringing temperatures down in cities. 33. What is special about the NTU study of cool paint coatings? A. It's conducted and tested in practical life. B. Its conclusions can be applied domestically. C. It gives a full description of the paint coatings. D. It's based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index. 34. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The basics. B. The findings. C. The process. D. The subjects. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. New Paint Coatings Removes City Heat B. New Paint Coatings Cool Urban Setting C. Cool Paint Coatings: A Solution to Global Warming D. Cool Paint Coatings: No More Heat in Urban Regions 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。 In every culture throughout time, the kitchen has had a powerful influence. The simple practice of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. 36 It depends on where you live, your age, and other factors, but the answer is, yes. Our intentions for "home" are evolving. 37 Fast-paced lifestyles and work schedules make it hard to find time to shop for groceries and prepare meals. Online food delivery services have taken off, too. In 2016, one in 10 Chinese were ordering food online. Throughout Europe, online ordering is capturing 56 percent of the market in Sweden and 43 percent in Austria. In India, online food ordering is expected to reach close to $12m（US）by 2023. While there is a trend towards bring-in and order-in food, as well as dining out, the kitchen is still a core in home life. Food & Wine cited a survey in 22 countries asking about cooking habits. 38 At the lower end were South Koreans, who spent just 3.7 hours per week cooking. People in India were at the top with 13.2 hours per week spent in the kitchen. Simply being in the kitchen, cooking and eating with other people, can have healthy benefits. Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place. 39 The difference is, now you can follow a recipe on your iPad while cooking. It's true that impersonal appliances are connecting to each other and to us. Refrigerators order vegetables. Cooktop hoods with sensors turn on by themselves. While technology and our expectations for the kitchen are shape-shifting in real time, the fundamentals remain the same. 40 A. So is cooking a way to express yourself? B. The global average was almost 6.5 hours. C. But is our relationship to the kitchen changing? D. It's like gathering around a campfire in the past. E. People seem to be spending less time cooking worldwide. F. Now more of them are eating outside the home more frequently. G. The kitchen is where we connect with food and company in the soul of the home. 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, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Students were reading and turning pages in time to Mozart playing in the background.

The boss said. And Alex was laid off without warning. His hands, once steady on the factory machinery, trembled as he packed his belongings. Friends, once united by the common rhythm of the factory whistle, went away, their lives branching into new paths that didn't include him. "A job's a man's backbone," his father would constantly say in disappointment. He wandered through life, moving like a boat without a rudder（舵）. Unemployed and uncertain, his days were gray and boring, punctuated by the occasional job interviews that led nowhere. One day, the cold rain fell, matching the despair that had settled in his heart. Ducking into the nearest shelter, he pushed open the heavy doors of the old town library, a place he hadn't visited since his school days. With few people in the library, the place was quiet, whose towering bookshelves were like silent soldiers guarding the wisdom of the ages. The musty scent of aged paper and the soft whispers of turning pages enveloped him, offering the peace he hadn`t had for a long time. He began visiting the library daily, away from the noise of his own uncertainty. Each book was a window to another world, another life, and he found himself drawn to the stories of those who had faced adversity and emerged stronger. Sometimes, the librarian, Mrs. Harper, a kind, silver-haired woman, often brought him cups of hot chocolate or coffee, her silent support a comfort to his weary spirit. As weeks turned into months, Alex found himself lost in the piles, diving into biographies and histories, philosophies and scientific breakthroughs. He read about great minds, inventors, and visionaries who had once stood at the edge of despair, only to' rise to the peak of success and found directions and discovered his passion for technology and innovation. Greatly inspired, Alex signed up for a programming course on technology and excelled it. With a newfound sense of direction, he began his job search with determination. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Despite the tough competition, Alex aimed for positions at major companies.

We took proper precautions, applying sunscreen, wearing long sleeves, and carrying bug repellent and enough water. We began with a gentle climb and took regular breaks under the shade. The hiking was tough, but the support from friends made it enjoyable.Reaching the peak, we were rewarded with a breathtaking view. This trip was more than an escape from the city heat. We returned home with not only a sun- kissed glow but also a heart full of cherished memories. 读后续写：（官方范文） Despite the tough competition, Alex aimed for positions at major companies. He carefully tailored his resume and poured all his efforts into preparing for interviews. Faced with strong competitors and rejections, he was overwhelmed with high pressure. Gathering himself, he drew strength from the resilience he had learned from the great minds. Alex rose to the challenge and refined his approach. Finally, his persistence paid off when he was offered a position, where he could apply his passion and talent to innovation. Years later, he got the news that the library was closing for lack of funds. He called Mrs Harper and was informed that the library, his sanctuary during his darkest days, was struggling to stay open. The library was like a boat adrift in a storm. The news hit him hard, stirring up memories among the stacks. Without hesitation, Alex sprang into action, offering financial contributions and organizing a fundraising campaign. Finally, the library survived, its doors open for many more to find peace and inspiration. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
