This book has sold over five million copies thanks to its helpful tips on finding a fulfilling happy life. The objectives of the book include getting people to believe in themselves, developing the power to reach their goals, and improving personal relationships. 篇章导读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要向青少年推荐了四本励志书籍。 21．What does Sean Covey use to arouse teens' interest in his book? A．Motivational mottos. B．Personal experiences. C．Real－life stories.

Many young people don't even realize it's new. For them, it's just normal. This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2­year­old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children's book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures—a perfect match for his age. Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger. What's up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid? Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that. Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high­tech world. It's an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites. There's one notable gap in my new­media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province. Anyway, grandpa is now an Internet star—two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2­year­old grandson sees it on his tablet. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者在春节期间，给孙子买了本儿童纸质读物，孙子误以为是平板电脑，不停地戳书。作者由此意识到当今社会人们把多媒体阅读当作日常，并谈了自己对这种现象的体会和感想。 24．What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2? A．Provided shelter for me. B．Became very clear to me. C．Took the pressure off me. D．Worked quite well on me. 答案：B　词义猜测题。根据第一段的内容以及画线部分后文“as I was sitting with my 2­year­old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday”可知，作者作为记者，生活在讲故事的新时代，有许多新的多媒体工具。许多年轻人甚至没有意识到它是新的。对他们来说，这很正常。在春节假期，作者和两岁的孙子坐在沙发上，尤其清楚认识到了这一点。画线部分意为“我很清楚”。故选B。 25．Why did the kid poke the storybook? A．He took it for a tablet computer. B．He disliked the colorful pictures. C．He was angry with his grandpa. D．He wanted to read it by himself. 答案：A　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“He was actually a stranger to books ... thought my storybook was like that.”可知，孩子戳故事书是因为把它当成了平板电脑。故选A。 26．What does the author think of himself? A．Socially ambitious. B．Physically attractive. C．Financially independent. D．Digitally competent. 答案：D　推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking ... built websites.”可知，作者可能老了，但作者编辑视频、制作音频、用移动支付，甚至建立了网站。由此可推知，作者认为自己懂数码技术。故选D。 27．What can we learn about the author as a journalist? A．He lacks experience in his job. B．He seldom appears on television. C．He manages a video department. D．He often interviews Internet stars. 答案：B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio(我很少在镜头前待着，因为我的脸是为电台而生的)”可知，作者作为记者很少上电视。故选B。 C Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn't had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? However, living with another person also comes with many benefits. You know that there's always someone else around, which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice. For example, we're actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others. To examine the effect of living alone, Australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a significant negative effect on long－term health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone. What could explain these findings? The researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking, food preparation and eating may be important considerations. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy higher－quality fresh food regularly. Cooking skills may be another factor. If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food，they may fall back on ready－made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help. In addition, people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it's helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am. In other words, roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines. So, if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits, why not consider sharing a home with someone else? You could encourage one another on to greater health and well－being. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了和室友一起住有很多好处，作者鼓励大家找一个室友共同生活，可以鼓励彼此，变得更加健康和幸福。 28．The author uses the first paragraph to ________． A．introduce the topic of the text B．remind readers of their roommates C．show the problems of living with others D．recall the experience of sharing a room 答案：A　推理判断题。根据第一段内容，特别是最后一句“However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.”可推知，作者用第一段来引出文章话题——和室友一起住有很多好处。故选A。 29．The second paragraph is mainly about ________． A．the reasons for living with others B．the benefits of having a roommate C．the way of dealing with a roommate D．the importance of communicating with others 答案：B　段落大意题。根据第二段内容，特别是第三句“Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice.”可知，本段主要讲的是有一个室友的好处。故选B。 30．The underlined phrase “fall back on” in Paragraph 5 means “________”． A．hunt for B．cut down on C．depend on D．give up 答案：C　词义猜测题。根据画线短语前的“If people ... a certain food”可知，如果单独生活的人不会烹饪的话只能依靠那些现成的、不健康的食物，由此可知，画线短语意为“依靠”。故选C。 31．What is the main purpose of this text? A．To explain why roommate have arguments. B．To tell readers every coin has two sides. C．To encourage people to have a roommate. D．To persuade people to develop healthy eating habits. 答案：C　推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中的“why not consider sharing a home with someone else”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的就是鼓励大家找一个室友共同生活。故选C。 D Humans' overconsumption of resources is a leading contributor to global climate change, says University of Arizona researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefore, it's increasingly important to understand the choices consumers make and how those decisions affect the health of a planet with limited resources. In a new study, published in the journal Young Consumers, Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro－environmental behaviors in millennials, who are now the nation's most influential group of consumers. The researchers focused on two main categories of pro－environmental behaviors: reduced consumption, which includes actions like repairing instead of replacing older items; and “green buying”， or purchasing products designed to limit environmental impacts. The researchers also looked at how engaging in pro－environmental behaviors affects consumer well－being. More materialistic participants, the researchers found, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption. However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying”. That's probably because “green buying”， unlike reduced consumption, still offers a way for materialists to fulfill their desire to get new items, Helm said. Study participants who reported having fewer materialistic values were much more likely to engage in reduced consumption. Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well－being and lower psychological suffering. Green buying—which may have some positive environmental effects, although to a smaller degree than reduced consumption—was not found to improve consumer well－being, Helm said. The take－home message for consumers: “The key is to reduce consumption and not just buy green stuff. Having less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied and happier，” Helm said. “If you have a lot of stuff, you have a lot on your mind，” she said. “For example, it requires maintenance and there's a lot of burdens of ownership, and if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better and freer.” Helm and her colleagues additionally looked at how materialism affects millennial consumers' proactive financial behaviors, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behaviors alongside pro－environmental behaviors provides a picture of how young adults proactively deal with resource limitations in two contexts: environmental and financial, Helm said. As expected, Helm and her colleagues found that those who reported having more materialistic values engaged in fewer proactive financial behaviors than their less materialistic counterparts (对应的人). The researchers also found that, consistent with previous studies, proactive financial behaviors were associated with better personal well－being, life satisfaction and financial satisfaction, as well as lower psychological suffering. Understanding how materialistic values impact consumer behaviors, and how those behaviors in turn affect personal and environmental well－being, is important, Helm said. However, she acknowledges that for many consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了物质主义消费观对环保行为的影响以及与个体幸福感之间的关系。 32．What do we know about pro－environmental behaviors?

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route (路线) through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn't with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school's coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him，” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration (懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross－country team. It just took him longer—that's all.David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me. 　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. 　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。David(大卫)患有脑部疾病，但他表现得和正常孩子一样。在越野比赛前，他因受到嘲笑而犹豫是否参加比赛。作者作为他的老师，对他说了什么？当作者看到David在起跑线后，比赛中又发生了什么？ [精彩范文] We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me. He hung his head, trying to avoid eye contact with me. It was a tricky moment, calling for a good choice of words. Having thought it over, I mentioned some events which won people's praise for his determination and perseverance.His face began to lighten. He added that even the judges thumbed up at him. The whistle went off and the competitors began to take their places. To my joy, David slowly rose to his feet. I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. David stood firmly in his position, ignoring anything around. Pushing forward without balance, he was left behind. However, when he came into sight, the spectators burst into thunderous cheers and applause. Inspired by the enthusiasm and encouragement, David quickened his pace in high spirits.It turned out that he achieved his best record ever. Seeing his confident smiles, I sighed in relief. With the power to conquer himself, he can conquer anything on the way to a promising future. 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
