When I realized my phone was the first thing I looked at in the morning and the last thing before going to sleep, I knew something had to change. So, I decided to cut back. Could I go a week without social media? And, by cutting back, could I feel more content and happier?
Monday was the day that I decided to go through with a digital detox lasting a whole week. I was suspicious about how this was going to go as a week seemed like a long time without social media, but I was definitely up for the challenge.
On Tuesday, I noticed that I had spent much longer deciding what to wear as usually I would go on Instagram or Pinterest to help me choose. This time it was just me. I eventually decided to go for the most basic outfit (一套衣服) of jeans and a jumper.
On Wednesday, I was missing social media and seeing what my favourite YouTubers were up to, so my mom suggested I go out for lunch with them. It was really lovely to catch up with friends, talk about how university was going and find out what they had been up to recently.
During the last few days, I felt like I had a lot more time than I used to, when in reality I had the same amount; I was just not on my phone for most of it! So, I decided to go for a run and do some reading, which made me feel peaceful and relaxed as there wasn’t a constant distraction.
After the week finished, I was proud of myself. My biggest take-away from this experiment is that I’ve become aware of how I use social media. Whilst I, of course, use it to stay up to date with what is happening in the world, it turns out that I also use it a lot to let my brain rest and just tune out (思想开小差) a little bit.
24. What does the underlined word “suspicious” in paragraph 2 mean?

B. She picked up some new hobbies.
C. She had lunch outside with her family.
D. She had a face-to-face talk with her friends.
27 What does the author learn from the challenge?
A. How to refresh herself. B. How to use social media wisely.
C. How to get on well with friends. D. How to keep away from distractions.
C
You’ve probably heard that brick-and-mortar retail(实体零售) is in trouble. Even industry giants are closing hundreds of stores. Given retail’s gradual change from physical stores to mobile and e-commerce(电子商务), you may be wondering, “What will retail look like in the future?” Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology.
Super-fast delivery is coming. Today, the normal practice is two-day delivery. But if you’ve been paying attention, you know that’s changing. In fact, up to 25% of consumers said that they would abandon their orders if one-day delivery wasn’t available. Of course, that’s just the beginning. Two-hour delivery is coming in the foreseeable future, and Amazon has already been trying 30-minute delivery.
Your kitchen will resupply itself. You won’t have to worry about running out of essentials like coffee, pet food or snacks because your containers will sense stocks(库存) and replace those items without you having to lift a finger. No more waking up to find your coffee store is empty or last-minute rush to the grocery store because you forget to buy pet food.
Know exactly what’s in stock and where to get it. Have you ever gone to a store hoping to buy something, only to learn that it was out of stock? A new feature from Google Home allows people to ask the Google Assistant to find in-stock products at the closest store. For example: “Google, where can I find the Nintendo Switch console?” The assistant will tell you how many stores have it right away and how close they are. Of course, it isn’t currently available for all stores in all locations, but you can already see the future when it has become standard.
Convenience, experience, and options-retail will take on a new look.
28. How does the author develop the passage?
A. By analyzing and commenting.
B. By clarifying and describing.
C. By asking and answering.
D. By comparing and concluding.
29. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. It is possible to deliver goods within two hours in the future.
B. Consumers can’t get their orders in one day now.
C. The delivery will be in two days in the future.
D. Super-fast delivery has widely been used now.
30. According to the passage, what will happen in the future?
A. Retail will disappear gradually.
B. Industrial giants will rule the whole retail trade.
C. People will ask the Google Assistant to purchase goods.
D. Shopping will be more convenient and effective.
31. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. How Will New Technology Change the World?
B. What Will Retail Be Like in the Future?
C. How Will We Run the Retail Trade in the Future?
D. What Benefits Will High-tech Bring in the Future?
D
Like so many other good things in life, sleep is best at a right length. A multi-year study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive (认知的) decline than people who slept a proper amount, even when the effects of early Alzheimer’s disease were taken into account.
“Our study suggests that there is a middle range, or ‘sweet spot’, for total sleep time where cognitive performance is stable over time. Short and long sleep time is associated with worse cognitive performance,” said first author Brendan Lucey, an associate professor of the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center. “An unanswered question is if we can intervene (干预) to improve sleep, would that have a positive effect on their cognitive performance so they no longer decline? We need more further data to answer this question.”
Lucey and colleagues turned to volunteers who participated in Alzheimer’s studies through the university’s Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center. Such volunteers experienced annual clinical and cognitive assessments, and provided a blood sample to be tested. For this study, each participant slept with a tiny EEG monitor attached to their heads for four to six nights to measure their brain activities during sleep.
The researchers found a U-shaped relationship between sleep and cognitive decline. Overall, cognitive scores declined for the groups that slept less than 4.5 or more than 6.5 hours per night while scores stayed stable for those in the middle of the range.
The U-shaped relationship held true for measures of specific sleep stages, including rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. Moreover, the same is true even after considering the factors that can affect both sleep and cognition, such as age, sex, levels of Alzheimer’s proteins.
“It was particularly interesting to see that not only those with short amounts of sleep but also those with long amounts of sleep had more cognitive decline,” said Professor Beau M. Ances.
“Each person’s sleep needs are unique, and people who wake up feeling rested on short or long sleep schedules should not feel forced to change their habits,” said co-senior author David Holtzman, MD. “But those who are not sleeping well should be aware that sleep problems often can be treated.”
32. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The good things in life. B. The benefits of best sleep.
C. The effects of Alzheimer’s disease. D. The influence of sleep time on cognition.
33. According to the passage, which sleep time is suitable?
A. 4 hours. B. 6 hours. C. 7 hours. D. 7.5 hours
34. What can we know about U-shaped relationship?
A. Cognition is related to different sleep stages.
B. The sleep time has no connection with cognitive scores.
C. The longer sleep time is, the higher cognitive scores are.
D. It no longer exists when age, sex, and so on are considered.
35. What does David Holtzman’s words imply?
A. Quality of a person’s sleep is the key.
B. People on short sleep schedules must change their habits.
C. Long time sleepers do not have cognitive decline.
D. Both long time and short time sleepers have sleep problems.

I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “Dream is priceless”. However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $ 12.25 per hour. Compared with the average $3.5 that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to tell my coach, I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150字左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say

When I realized my phone was the first thing I looked at in the morning and the last thing before going to sleep, I knew something had to change. So, I decided to cut back. Could I go a week without social media? And, by cutting back, could I feel more content and happier?
Monday was the day that I decided to go through with a digital detox lasting a whole week. I was suspicious about how this was going to go as a week seemed like a long time without social media, but I was definitely up for the challenge.
On Tuesday, I noticed that I had spent much longer deciding what to wear as usually I would go on Instagram or Pinterest to help me choose. This time it was just me. I eventually decided to go for the most basic outfit (一套衣服) of jeans and a jumper.
On Wednesday, I was missing social media and seeing what my favourite YouTubers were up to, so my mom suggested I go out for lunch with them. It was really lovely to catch up with friends, talk about how university was going and find out what they had been up to recently.
During the last few days, I felt like I had a lot more time than I used to, when in reality I had the same amount; I was just not on my phone for most of it! So, I decided to go for a run and do some reading, which made me feel peaceful and relaxed as there wasn’t a constant distraction.
After the week finished, I was proud of myself. My biggest take-away from this experiment is that I’ve become aware of how I use social media. Whilst I, of course, use it to stay up to date with what is happening in the world, it turns out that I also use it a lot to let my brain rest and just tune out (思想开小差) a little bit.

You’ve probably heard that brick-and-mortar retail(实体零售) is in trouble. Even industry giants are closing hundreds of stores. Given retail’s gradual change from physical stores to mobile and e-commerce(电子商务), you may be wondering, “What will retail look like in the future?” Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology.
Super-fast delivery is coming. Today, the normal practice is two-day delivery. But if you’ve been paying attention, you know that’s changing. In fact, up to 25% of consumers said that they would abandon their orders if one-day delivery wasn’t available. Of course, that’s just the beginning. Two-hour delivery is coming in the foreseeable future, and Amazon has already been trying 30-minute delivery.
Your kitchen will resupply itself. You won’t have to worry about running out of essentials like coffee, pet food or snacks because your containers will sense stocks(库存) and replace those items without you having to lift a finger. No more waking up to find your coffee store is empty or last-minute rush to the grocery store because you forget to buy pet food.
Know exactly what’s in stock and where to get it. Have you ever gone to a store hoping to buy something, only to learn that it was out of stock? A new feature from Google Home allows people to ask the Google Assistant to find in-stock products at the closest store. For example: “Google, where can I find the Nintendo Switch console?” The assistant will tell you how many stores have it right away and how close they are. Of course, it isn’t currently available for all stores in all locations, but you can already see the future when it has become standard.
Convenience, experience, and options-retail will take on a new look.
28. How does the author develop the passage?

Like so many other good things in life, sleep is best at a right length. A multi-year study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive (认知的) decline than people who slept a proper amount, even when the effects of early Alzheimer’s disease were taken into account.
“Our study suggests that there is a middle range, or ‘sweet spot’, for total sleep time where cognitive performance is stable over time. Short and long sleep time is associated with worse cognitive performance,” said first author Brendan Lucey, an associate professor of the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center. “An unanswered question is if we can intervene (干预) to improve sleep, would that have a positive effect on their cognitive performance so they no longer decline? We need more further data to answer this question.”
Lucey and colleagues turned to volunteers who participated in Alzheimer’s studies through the university’s Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center. Such volunteers experienced annual clinical and cognitive assessments, and provided a blood sample to be tested. For this study, each participant slept with a tiny EEG monitor attached to their heads for four to six nights to measure their brain activities during sleep.
The researchers found a U-shaped relationship between sleep and cognitive decline. Overall, cognitive scores declined for the groups that slept less than 4.5 or more than 6.5 hours per night while scores stayed stable for those in the middle of the range.
The U-shaped relationship held true for measures of specific sleep stages, including rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. Moreover, the same is true even after considering the factors that can affect both sleep and cognition, such as age, sex, levels of Alzheimer’s proteins.
“It was particularly interesting to see that not only those with short amounts of sleep but also those with long amounts of sleep had more cognitive decline,” said Professor Beau M. Ances.
“Each person’s sleep needs are unique, and people who wake up feeling rested on short or long sleep schedules should not feel forced to change their habits,” said co-senior author David Holtzman, MD. “But those who are not sleeping well should be aware that sleep problems often can be treated.”
32. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The good things in life. B. The benefits of best sleep.
C. The effects of Alzheimer’s disease. D. The influence of sleep time on cognition.
33. According to the passage, which sleep time is suitable?
A. 4 hours. B. 6 hours. C. 7 hours. D. 7.5 hours
34. What can we know about U-shaped relationship?
A. Cognition is related to different sleep stages.
B. The sleep time has no connection with cognitive scores.
C. The longer sleep time is, the higher cognitive scores are.
D. It no longer exists when age, sex, and so on are considered.
35. What does David Holtzman’s words imply?
A. Quality of a person’s sleep is the key.
B. People on short sleep schedules must change their habits.
C. Long time sleepers do not have cognitive decline.
D. Both long time and short time sleepers have sleep problems.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了睡眠时长对认知的影响,研究发现睡眠与认知能力下降呈U型关系,拥有适中睡眠时长的人认知得分稳定,且睡眠质量不佳可治疗。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“A multi-year study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive (认知的) decline than people who slept a proper amount, even when the effects of early Alzheimer’s disease were taken into account. (一项针对老年人的多年研究发现,即使将早期阿尔茨海默病的影响考虑在内,短睡眠者和长睡眠者的认知能力下降程度都比睡眠充足的人要大)”可知,文章开篇指出研究表明睡眠时长适中最好,接着具体介绍该研究的目的、对象和方法等,提到睡眠与认知能力下降呈U型关系等内容。因此,文章整体围绕睡眠时长对认知的影响展开。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Overall, cognitive scores declined for the groups that slept less than 4.5 or more than 6.5 hours per night while scores stayed stable for those in the middle of the range. (总体而言,每晚睡眠时间少于4.5小时或超过6.5小时的组的认知得分有所下降,而睡眠时间处于中间区间的组的得分保持稳定)”可知,6小时在4.5小时到6.5小时这个区间内,是合适的睡眠时长。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“The U-shaped relationship held true for measures of specific sleep stages, including rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. (U型关系适用于特定睡眠阶段的测量,包括快速眼动睡眠和非快速眼动睡眠)”可知,U型关系在特定睡眠阶段的测量中也成立。由此可知,认知与不同的睡眠阶段有关。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中David Holtzman所说的话“Each person’s sleep needs are unique, and people who wake up feeling rested on short or long sleep schedules should not feel forced to change their habits (每个人的睡眠需求都是独一无二的,那些在短时间或长时间的睡眠计划中醒来时感觉精力充沛的人不应该被迫改变他们的习惯)”和“But those who are not sleeping well should be aware that sleep problems often can be treated. (但是那些睡眠不好的人应该意识到睡眠问题通常是可以治疗的)”可知,每个人的睡眠需求不同,醒来感觉休息好的人无需改变习惯,需要治疗的人是睡眠不好的人。由此可知,睡眠质量才是关键。故选A项。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “Dream is priceless”. However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long-held dream.
It was the summer holiday in senior two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $ 12.25 per hour. Compared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to tell my coach, I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, "If you make your bed, you have to lie in it." I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150字左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I gathered my courage and knocked at his door. As expected, his face turned purple immediately. He glared at me like a bull. "You have your whole life to work," he said, “but your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them." I stood before him with my head down. “How much will you be paid, son?” He demanded. "$12.25 per hour.” “Well," he shrugged. “Is $12.25 an hour the price of a dream?”
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say. Yes, dream is priceless. It's stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of my dream. I held my head high and said firmly, “Sorry, Mr. Jarvis. I know what to do next." My coach smiled with great satisfaction. That summer I dedicated myself to baseball training. And one year later, I obtained a baseball scholarship to the University. I knew I would soon buy my mum a house. Thankfully, I made a right choice. Without Mr. Jarvis, I would never know I could afford a dream.
