Lately a popular eight-floor bookstore in Hefei, Anhui province, has risen to fame because it becomes the world’s first shared bookstore, in a move meant to encourage more reading among Chinese citizens.
It comes to people’s attention as more than 200,000 visitors flooded the store on its first day as a shared bookstore on July 16 this year, a record high since it was reopened to the public in 2013. Some 4,000 books were brought home on the first day, Thepaper.cn reported.
Customers are allowed to borrow up to two books valued under 150 yuan per visit after registering with an app and paying the 99 yuan deposit fee(押金)。
All books on sale in the bookstore are available for sharing. Returned books that are damaged are sold at a discount. The bookstore also provides a bonus for bookworms. People who finish reading 12 books in three months receive eight percent of their deposit back, and members can be rewarded one yuan for every book read.
“We want to bring down the cost of reading so people could read more books,” Xu Xinwei, who helps run the bookstore, told Thepaper.cn.
Some parents buy a lot of books for their children, but they usually end up collecting dust as their children grow up. Similarly, some popular novels for young people also fall out of fashion, according to Xu.”Books are more effectively circulated when they’re shared.”
4. The bookstore becomes a shared one .
A. to make more money B. to inspire more people to read
C. to make more room for new books D. to recommend new books
5. What does the underlined phrase “risen to fame” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

6. What can we infer from the passage?

B. The books that are sold here can’t be borrowed.
C. The cost of reading can be reduced by sharing the books.
D. More than 4,000 books were taken home on July 16 in 2013.
7. What does the bookstore do to attract more readers?
A. The bookstore encourages parents o buy more books for their children.
B. The readers are allowed to borrow the books unconditionally.
C. The readers who are members can receive one yuan for every book read.
D. The bookstore is considering offering a bonus for anyone who likes reading.

When Gayle Macdonald reached the summit (顶峰) in Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountain range earlier this year, she didn’t just stop and take in the moment. Instead, she did what a great many people would do—she looked for the best spot to take a selfie (自拍) for her social media accounts. Gayle even admitted that she moved dangerously close to the edge while doing so. It was after that moment that she decided to quit social media.
“I was like ‘this has got to stop,’ ” recalls Gayle. “Taking a photo used to be the first thing I thought about when I got out of the car. Thinking all the time about creating content and worrying about what to say, were taking up too much head space and getting me down.”
Social media can be addictive for many reasons, the main one being that it is a form of escapism, especially for the younger generation. It’s simply a way of connecting without connection, and it’s a 24/7 comfort blanket of company for many. For many of us, most of our time is spent on social media. One global study found that the average person spends 2 hours and 29 minutes per day on such apps and websites. While some people might think that this is a bad habit that they should cut down on, for others it’s an actual addiction that they need help to overcome.
Hilda Burke, a psychotherapist (心理治疗师), says there’s now more widespread awareness about how much time people are spending on social media. “This is now easily to figure up, as most phones show you the breakdown of how you’re spending your time online,” she says. “Seeing how it all adds up can serve as a powerful wake-up call.” She advises that people quitting social media should let all their friends know, so they don’t continue to try to contact you via the sites.
Burke welcomes the fact that more people are quitting social media. It’s likely that we’re eventually starting to realize the damage it can cause to our relationships, mental health and our experience of real-world moments.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By providing research results. B. By describing a process.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an example.
9. What may Gayle think of her frequently updating posts on social media?
A. Energy-consuming. B. Fashionable. C. Inspiring. D. Eye-catching.
10. Where can you find the reasons for teenagers’ addiction to social media?
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Teenagers Are Addicted To Social Media
B. People Quit Using Social Media To Post Selfies
C. There Is Really More To Life Than Posting Selfies
D. Social Media Affects Physical And Mental Health
D
I’m a recovering addict. I was addicted to YouTube.
My addiction started several years ago. My first experience was on the recommendation of a friend to check out Susan Boyle’s amazing singing on Britain’s Got Talent. I didn’t think much about it and got on with my life.
But soon I found myself spending a lot of time staring at the screen and discovered onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one YouTuber I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else gave wise sayings from philosophers. Down the rabbit hole I went, for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.
As the months rolled by, checking in every day with people who were talking to me personally (or so it seemed) became an addiction. I subscribed to (订阅) many channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I found all this calming and therapeutic.
At some point, though, I got annoyed by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who are filming them? Do they happen to live in a meadow (草地)? The questions started to disturb me while forcing comparisons with my own somewhat more ordinary existence.
Regardless of my growing anxiety, I continued to click on the YouTube icon on my phone whenever I had a spare five minutes. I compared my life constantly with the images onscreen. I started to hate the endless rules presented for good health, financial stability and mental contentment. In a moment of clarity (清晰), I realized that I had a full and happy life myself, which suited me perfectly although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life, instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while for some entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content in the knowledge that my addiction to life onscreen has been replaced by life itself.
12. What led the author to use YouTube for the first time?
A. Her search for gardening tips. B. Her friend’s recommendation.
C. Her curiosity about the platform. D. Her admiration for a famous singer.
13. What did the author think of YouTube videos at first?
A. Informative and relaxing. B. Dull and discouraging.
C. Creative and puzzling. D. Addictive and useless.
14. What happened after the author became addicted to YouTube?
A. She gradually lost purpose in life. B. She tried to copy others’ lifestyle.
C. She sought for the peace of country life. D. She kept making comparisons with others.
15. What kind of life does the author live now?
A. Stop surfing online. B. Upload videos about her life.
C. Appreciate real-life experiences more. D. Spend more time on her social life.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born small, which often left me feeling unconfident. During my second year of high school, my family moved to a different city. Getting used to life as a new kid has always been difficult for me, and this move made it more challenging. In my new school, I felt physically and mentally uneasy. Other students had already built friendships, leaving me without a friend.
Besides, I found English learning boring and didn’t know what to do during English classes. So, I spent my free time drawing because that was what I usually did when I was alone.
I still recall the first day in the school dining hall. While waiting in line for food, I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen. As I passed by, they glanced at me with surprise. “He looks so small,” someone said in a low voice. My face burned with embarrassment and I bent my head. Pretending not to hear them, I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone.
In my first English class, I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the book. The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me. Losing interest quickly, I began drawing on the book. A few minutes later, my English teacher, Mr. Frank — a kind man — walked up to me.
“Nice drawing,” he said gently. “You know, language is also an art form; it carries its own charm (魅力) and beauty. I believe you could find English attractive if you discover whereto begin.”
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;

Encouraged by his words, I began to change my attitude towards English learning.

“Why not draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me.

When Gayle Macdonald reached the summit (顶峰) in Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountain range earlier this year, she didn’t just stop and take in the moment. Instead, she did what a great many people would do—she looked for the best spot to take a selfie (自拍) for her social media accounts. Gayle even admitted that she moved dangerously close to the edge while doing so. It was after that moment that she decided to quit social media.
“I was like ‘this has got to stop,’ ” recalls Gayle. “Taking a photo used to be the first thing I thought about when I got out of the car. Thinking all the time about creating content and worrying about what to say, were taking up too much head space and getting me down.”
Social media can be addictive for many reasons, the main one being that it is a form of escapism, especially for the younger generation. It’s simply a way of connecting without connection, and it’s a 24/7 comfort blanket of company for many. For many of us, most of our time is spent on social media. One global study found that the average person spends 2 hours and 29 minutes per day on such apps and websites. While some people might think that this is a bad habit that they should cut down on, for others it’s an actual addiction that they need help to overcome.
Hilda Burke, a psychotherapist (心理治疗师), says there’s now more widespread awareness about how much time people are spending on social media. “This is now easily to figure up, as most phones show you the breakdown of how you’re spending your time online,” she says. “Seeing how it all adds up can serve as a powerful wake-up call.” She advises that people quitting social media should let all their friends know, so they don’t continue to try to contact you via the sites.
Burke welcomes the fact that more people are quitting social media. It’s likely that we’re eventually starting to realize the damage it can cause to our relationships, mental health and our experience of real-world moments.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By providing research results. B. By describing a process.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an example.
9. What may Gayle think of her frequently updating posts on social media?
A. Energy-consuming. B. Fashionable. C. Inspiring. D. Eye-catching.
10. Where can you find the reasons for teenagers’ addiction to social media?
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Teenagers Are Addicted To Social Media
B. People Quit Using Social Media To Post Selfies
C. There Is Really More To Life Than Posting Selfies
D. Social Media Affects Physical And Mental Health
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】

Gayle even admitted that she moved dangerously close to the edge while doing so. It was after that moment that she decided to quit social media. (今年早些时候,当Gayle Macdonald到达西班牙内华达山脉的顶峰时,她并没有停下来享受这一刻。相反,她做了很多人都会做的事——为自己的社交媒体账号找一个最好的自拍地点。Gayle甚至承认,在这样做的时候,她很危险地靠近了悬崖边缘。就在那一刻之后,她决定退出社交媒体。)”以及下文内容可知,文章举例来引出本文的主题,即社交媒体让人上瘾,人们需要克服对社交媒体的上瘾。故选D。

I’m a recovering addict. I was addicted to YouTube.
My addiction started several years ago. My first experience was on the recommendation of a friend to check out Susan Boyle’s amazing singing on Britain’s Got Talent. I didn’t think much about it and got on with my life.
But soon I found myself spending a lot of time staring at the screen and discovered onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one YouTuber I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else gave wise sayings from philosophers. Down the rabbit hole I went, for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.
As the months rolled by, checking in every day with people who were talking to me personally (or so it seemed) became an addiction. I subscribed to (订阅) many channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I found all this calming and therapeutic.
At some point, though, I got annoyed by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who are filming them? Do they happen to live in a meadow (草地)? The questions started to disturb me while forcing comparisons with my own somewhat more ordinary existence.
Regardless of my growing anxiety, I continued to click on the YouTube icon on my phone whenever I had a spare five minutes. I compared my life constantly with the images onscreen. I started to hate the endless rules presented for good health, financial stability and mental contentment. In a moment of clarity (清晰), I realized that I had a full and happy life myself, which suited me perfectly although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life, instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while for some entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content in the knowledge that my addiction to life onscreen has been replaced by life itself.
12. What led the author to use YouTube for the first time?
A. Her search for gardening tips. B. Her friend’s recommendation.
C. Her curiosity about the platform. D. Her admiration for a famous singer.
13. What did the author think of YouTube videos at first?
A Informative and relaxing. B. Dull and discouraging.
C. Creative and puzzling. D. Addictive and useless.
14. What happened after the author became addicted to YouTube?
A. She gradually lost purpose in life. B. She tried to copy others’ lifestyle.
C. She sought for the peace of country life. D. She kept making comparisons with others.
15. What kind of life does the author live now?
A. Stop surfing online. B. Upload videos about her life.
C. Appreciate real-life experiences more. D. Spend more time on her social life.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

【17题详解】
根据小标题“Make a list.(列一个清单。)”可知本段的建议是在你拿起手机之前先列出待办事项,G项“Before you pick up your phone, make a list of exactly what you want to achieve busing it.(在拿起手机之前,请列出您想要实现的确切目标。)”中的make a list 与小标题Make a list构成原词复现,G项中的pick up your phone与空后“After you pick it up, don't do anything that's not on your list.(拿起它后,不要做任何不在你清单上的事情。)”中的pick it up呼应,且上下文一致,故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据“Instead of taking advantage of convenient features like facial recognition, use a passcode that you have to enter manually.(与其利用面部识别等方便的功能,不如使用您必须手动输入的密码。)”可知本段的建议是不要使用面部识别等便捷功能,建议手动输入密码。A项“Make your phone more annoying to unlock(让您的手机解锁更烦)”中的annoying与下文中的manually相呼应,unlock与下文“Researchers have found having such a delay before accessing your phone can reduce usage.(研究人员发现,在访问手机之前有这样的延迟可以减少使用量。)”中的accessing your phone呼应,上下文一致,故选A项。

根据前文“Drag all your social media apps into one folder (文件夹) that's not displayed on your home screen, so it takes some work to open them.(将所有社交媒体应用程序拖到一个未显示在主屏幕上的文件夹中,因此打开它们需要一些工作)”可知,建议为把所有社交媒体应用拖到一个不在主屏幕上显示的文件夹中。空后“This can dramatically cut down the amount of time you spend on them.(这可以大大减少您在它们上花费的时间。)”可知可以大大减少你使用社交媒体应用的时间,其中This指代E项“Even better, remove them from your phone and access them only through your laptop(更好的是,将它们从手机中删除并仅通过笔记本电脑访问它们)”中的内容,E项中的them 指代上文提及的social media apps,与下文的语义完全契合,符合语境,故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Much of your phone use is mindless.(你的大部分手机使用都是无意识的。)”可知大多数的手机使用都是无意识的,空后“Keeping it in another room while you sleep is a particularly helpful strategy.(睡觉时把它放在另一个房间是一个特别有用的策略。)”说明了睡觉时把手机放在另一个房间里是一个特别有用的方法。F项“Thus, putting up little barriers, like keeping it behind you and facedown, can be effective.(因此,设置一些小障碍,例如将其保持在身后并面朝下,可能会有效。)”中的barriers与小标题“Put your phone out of reach.(将手机放在够不到的地方。)”中的out of reach呼应,且与前文构成因果关系,与上下文一致,故选F项。

【38题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:许多专家都认为,过多地接触大众媒体会对你的心理健康产生负面影响。空处应填名词作宾语,effect“影响”是可数名词,此处用复数形式表泛指。故填effects。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意:它会影响你对自己和生活的感觉,也会影响别人对健康生活的看法。上下文为并列关系,应用and连接。故填and。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:它会影响你对自己和生活的感觉,也会影响别人对健康生活的看法。动词短语consider to be“认为是”满足句意要求,所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to be。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:例如,广告经常以美丽,富有的个人或团体为特色,他们通过吃丰富的食物和花很多钱买华丽的衣服和房子来享受生活。由空后individuals为名词可知,此处为形容词形式和空前的beautiful共同作定语修饰该名词。故填wealthy。
【42题详解】
考查动名词。句意:例如,广告经常以美丽,富有的个人或团体为特色,他们通过吃丰富的食物和花很多钱买华丽的衣服和房子来享受生活。由and连接的by eating可知,此处为并列动名词作介词by的宾语成分。故填spending。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:广告制造了一种紧迫感,让你觉得你必须拥有别人拥有的东西,然后你才会认为自己是“内部群体”的一部分。分析句子可知,逗号后为非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整句话,从句缺少主语成分,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:广告制造了一种紧迫感,让你觉得你必须拥有别人拥有的东西,然后你才会认为自己是“内部群体”的一部分。主语和宾语所指相同时,宾语应用反身代词,此处反身代词yourself“你自己”满足句意要求。故填yourself。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:人们很容易养成一种习惯,一有新东西就买,而不去仔细思考它是否值得。空处引导宾语从句,从句基本成份完整,但缺少“是否”之意,故用从属连词whether表示“是否”引导的宾语从句,满足句意要求。故填whether。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born small, which often left me feeling unconfident. During my second year of high school, my family moved to a different city. Getting used to life as a new kid has always been difficult for me, and this move made it more challenging. In my new school, I felt physically and mentally uneasy. Other students had already built friendships, leaving me without a friend.
Besides, I found English learning boring and didn’t know what to do during English classes. So, I spent my free time drawing because that was what I usually did when I was alone.
I still recall the first day in the school dining hall. While waiting in line for food, I heard a group of students excitedly discussing an upcoming English drama show for freshmen. As I passed by, they glanced at me with surprise. “He looks so small,” someone said in a low voice. My face burned with embarrassment and I bent my head. Pretending not to hear them, I slipped into the farthest seat available and had my meal alone.
In my first English class, I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the book. The letters and words seemed to dance confusingly across the page and laugh at me. Losing interest quickly, I began drawing on the book. A few minutes later, my English teacher, Mr. Frank — a kind man — walked up to me.
“Nice drawing,” he said gently. “You know, language is also an art form; it carries its own charm (魅力) and beauty. I believe you could find English attractive if you discover whereto begin.”
注意:

“Why not draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Encouraged by his words, I began to change my attitude towards English learning. I started to focus more attentively on English classes, following Mr. Frank’s instructions with great care. I discovered the charm of how individual letters could form meaningful words. Although the progress was slow, that slight improvement still brought me some hope. Mr. Frank was always ready to offer me guidance whenever necessary. Gradually, I developed a deep admiration for English. I became more active in speaking up and communicating with my classmates. This new-found enthusiasm made me more outgoing and open-minded, and I even made some new friends.
“Why don’t you draw a poster for the English drama show?” Mr. Frank said to me. Excited and nervous I accepted. It was a good chance to contribute with my artistic skills. Over the next few days, I drew colorful posters combining text and pictures. The process helped me remember vocabulary and grammar points better. To my delight, Mr. Frank praised my work and selected one poster for the show. Seeing my artwork displayed in the school gave me a strong sense of belonging. Thanks to Mr. Frank’s encouragement and trust, I discovered the beauty of English and found the confidence to express myself.
