Once I got to sixth grade and went to private school,all the students were asked to join in either the Red or the White team.Throughout the year,we fought against each other in various games and exercises for points.I eventually became president of The Committee of Games,speeding up my competitive fever.However,in girls' sports games at my school,I was no star.I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team.There were no school sports at the weekends,as they do today, but at home,playing tennis,skating,skiing and biking were simply normal things we did.During break time,magazines were also quite popular for us teens.These regularly featured articles on physical exercise.Somehow,my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF)exercises every day,a practice that continued into my marriage,when we had no spare funds to use to join a gym. So,though it shocks some of our friends,that early foundation()developed in adulthood into a sports and health focus,considered necessary even on vacation.I still love reading and the arts,too.I think,life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 24.What does the underlined word"humiliation"mean in paragraph 1? A.Desire. B.Shame. C.Emotion. D.Regret. 25.In the author's opinion,what led to her victory in the Softball Throw event? A.Her advanced sports outfits. B.The sports talent from her father. C.The training offered by her father. D.Her confidence in her sports ability. 26.What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A.She continued her love for sports. B.She preferred reading to exercising. C.She generally exercised on weekends. D.She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 27.What is the author's purpose in writing the article? A.To express her love for sports and health. B.To stress the benefits of physical exercise. C.To describe how her father built her interest in sports. D.To think back to her childhood memories about sports.

The research examined various levels of noise on participants (as they completed tests of creative thinking.They were randomly()divided into four groups with various levels of noise in the background,from total silence to 50 decibels(分)，70 decibels,.and85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were so small that they could be ignored;however,the participants in the 70 decibels group-where there was a level of noise similar to background chatting in a coffee shop-performed better than the other groups.Since the effects were small,this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise. The study also suggests that the right level of background noise-not too loud and not total silence-may actually improve one's creative thinking ability.The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to work,without making it impossible to focus.This kind of "distracted focus"appears to be the best for working on creative tasks. So why do so many of us hate our open offices?The problem may be that,in our offices,we can't stop ourselves from getting drawn into others'conversations while we're trying to focus.Indeed,the researchers found that face-to-face communications and conversations influence the creative process,and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions. 28.Why does the writer mention his interview at the start of the passage? A.To advertise for one of his new books. B.To introduce the topic of the passage. C.To show his confusion about the interview's actions. D.To express the interviewer's annoyance over his open office. 29.What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the research? A.Theory of the research. B.Place of the research. C.Results of the research D.Method of the research. 30.Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability? A.85 decibels. B.70 decibels. C.50 decibels. D.Total silence. 31.What makes an open office unwelcome to many people? A.Endless interruptions. B.Limited working space. C.Personal privacy unprotected. D. Inconvenience of group discussion. D C③扫描全能王 3亿人影在用明扫随AP时 As the extreme heat waves now affecting parts of Europe,Asia and the US make clear,homes in any area of the world badly need to be changed to help deal with a hotter climate. The quickest,simplest solution is to equip (air conditioning.But this would lead to a huge increase in electricity demand,researchers warn,driving further climate change."If our homes are overheated and the first solution that we run to is air conditioners,that is going to dry up our energy systems,"said Miranda,a researcher from Oxford University. A greener solution would be to develop "passive cooling"technologies,which don't require large energy inputs.Bertie Ozarisoy from Middle East Technical University found a special home built in 2015,Userhuus,had a "severe overheating risk"during the summer.Using computer models of the house,he found that adding a wind catcher was the most effective for reducing indoor temperatures.Wind catchers get the cooler wind from high above the ground and direct it into the building, pushing out the warmer air inside the house.However,although wind catchers could be easy to fit to new homes,equipping them is likely to be expensive. Further research showed that opening windows at night and pulling down shades during the day can lower indoor air temperatures by 14'C during a heatwave."Most heat in a home comes from two sources;first,people and equipment they use,and second,solar(太阳t的)heat gain through windows.”Says Bertie.“Hot outside air is actually a very small source." "The important thing is to open up the entire house at night,to open the windows as soon as outdoor air is cooler than indoor air,and to leave them open all night until the next morning.Close them only when the outdoor air temperature rises."he added. Blocking sunlight from entering the home is therefore an effective way to keep temperatures under control. 32.What is Miranda's attitude towards equipping air conditioning? A.Uncaring. B.Positive. C.Objective. D.Unfavorable. 33.What might be a disadvantage of a wind catcher? A.Its high cost. B.Its poor effect. C.Its ugly design. D.Its equipping problem 34.According to Bertie Ozarisoy,most heat in a home comes from A.hot outside air B.people's activities C.air-conditioning system D.poorly-designed windows 35.What can be a suitable title for the passage? A.Sources of Heat B.Reasons for Heatwaves C.How to Keep Homes Cool D.How to Equip Air Conditioners 第二节（共5小题：每小题25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。 Smartwatches and fit恤ess trackers(键身追踪器)have gained popularity recently These tools can record your daily steps,heart rates,etc.36.If yes,it might be a sign that you're addicted to your fitness tracker. 第6页共10页 C③扫描全能王 3亿人后在用的日福Ap中 37 .If you keep setting unrealistic daily goals that involve working out for too long,and if you begin to ignore friends and responsibilities to make time for your workout,then you're most probably addicted to your fitness tracker. It's a struggle to overcome the addiction to fitnesstrackers.38 For example,the number in your smart watch showing how far you've come can give you a sense of achievement. Of course,failing to meet your daily goal can be discouraging.You might focus on your shortcomings rather than your progress.Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels.39 Therefore,if you're spending too much time looking at your smartwatch,limit your daily step count to a comfortable level. 40.For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things. A.Don't overuse your smartwatch. B.It doesn't express what you're really feeling. C.After all,reaching a daily step count can be so attractive. D.How can you tell whether you're addicted to your fitness tracker? E.Actually,this addiction to step count can be risky,mentally and physically. F.However,do you find yourself checking your steps and heart rates too often? G.Besides,you can find other things to do that don't involve checking your fitness tracker. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was having a hard time trying to find work.The economy in our area was in pretty 41.shape.And I was 42.for what to do next when I answered the online 43.
