A. It, where B. What, which C. As, where D. What, where 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句和定语从句。句意：出乎他们意料的是，他们终于到了一个卖香烟和其他小商品的地方。（ was beyond their expectation）是缺乏连接词的主语从句，从句缺乏主语，意为“什么”，用连接代词What；（a place sold cigarettes and other small articles）是缺乏关系词的定语从句，先行词是a place，指物，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故选B项。 10.

But, if you're willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries having an extremely cheap and low cost of living. So, if you have the flexibility of living wherever you please, and want to live in a country the cost of living is the cheapest in the world, check out these 3 countries when planning your next move. Cambodia Cambodia may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of a tropical paradise, but it's pretty close. The added bonus is that living here is insanely cheap, unlike some other tropical getaways. A luxury home with four bedrooms and a pool would only cost about $600 a month. A decent three-bedroom vacation home can be purchased here for just $20,000. And, for only about $2,000 a year, you can also hire a gardener and housekeeper to take care of your property. Ecuador Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result, it has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency. In this country, it's cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the U. S. You can even buy a property for around 50，000 and hire someone to tend to it while you're away. Mexico Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every amenity you might need. You can live off a mere $700 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, amenities, food, and any sights. 46 How much money do you need to pay to look after your property for a year in Cambodia? A. $600. B. $2,000. C. $20,000. D. $700. 47. In which country you can enjoy a life like in America? A. Cambodia. B. Mexico. C. Ecuador. D. China. 48.

The cost of living in countries like the United States, Britain, Australia or France has decreased in recent years. B. Cambodia must be the first country that comes to mind when you think of a tropical paradise C. The people in Ecuador even use the US Dollar for their currency. D. Cambodia is known for its poverty ridden streets. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个国家的生活消费成本情况。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And, for only about $2,000 a year, you can also hire a gardener and housekeeper to take care of your property. (而且，一年只要2000美元，你还可以雇一个园丁和管家来照顾你的房子)”可知，在柬埔寨照顾你的房产一年需要2000美元。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result, it has become a popular American getaway.(厄瓜多尔在许多方面与美国相似，因此，它已经成为一个受欢迎的美洲度假胜地)”可知，在厄瓜多尔你可以享受像美国一样的生活。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every amenity you might need. You can live off a mere $700 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, amenities, food, and any sights.(虽然这个国家以其贫穷的街道而闻名，但有许多较富裕的地区提供你可能需要的一切便利设施。在墨西哥，你一个月只需700美元，这包括一个好地方的租金、设施、食物和任何景点)”可知，你在墨西哥不能享受到热带气候。故选D。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A luxury home with four bedrooms and a pool would only cost about $600 a month.(一套有四间卧室和一个游泳池的豪华住宅每月只需600美元左右)”可知，在柬埔寨，住在一套有四间卧室和一个游泳池的豪宅里你每年要花600×12=7200美元。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result, it has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency.(厄瓜多尔在许多方面与美国相似，因此，它已经成为一个受欢迎的美洲度假胜地。他们甚至使用美元作为他们的货币)”可知，C选项“厄瓜多尔人甚至使用美元作为他们的货币”正确。故选C。 B A ninth-grade Aledo track standout who was the victim of an unusual accident with a deer has returned to the varsity team (校队) and says his story offers a lesson for everyone: “Never stop trying.” Jack Fink, 14, has always loved to run. "I've been running long distance since I was in third grade," Fink said. "It's the wind in my face. Just going as fast as possible." One morning last month, Fink was running along a golf course not far from school — practicing with his team — when something faster than him hit him hard from behind. “I saw the sky and then I saw the ground and then my ears started ringing," he said. Some teammates saw what happened and helped him up. “They told me a couple of minutes after, ‘Jack, you got hit by a deer!’ And I was like, ‘What? There's no way,’” he said Monday. He never even saw the deer, he said. Fink was OK at first but as the hours went on his head started hurting. Fink then went to Cook Children's hospital. "They took me straight back to surgery and they told my mom and dad ‘Hey, he may not make it,’” he said. X-rays found a skull fracture (颅骨骨折) and bleeding in his brain. He needed six screws (螺钉) to relieve the pressure, screws that will stay inside his head for the rest of his life. He spent a few weeks at home recovering but wanted to run again. Not sure if he was up to it, his coaches put him on the junior varsity team at first. "It's the craziest and the scariest thing I've had to deal with in my coaching career,” track coach Mike Pinkerton said of the incident. "He said, ‘Coach, I'm getting my spot back!’” Pinkerton said. At the junior varsity meet, Fink came in first. He then got his varsity spot back. “I felt like, ‘OK I can do this again. I'm back. I'm ready to run again,’” Fink said. At a regional meet Monday in Lubbock, Fink was the fastest ninth-grader in the entire area. The state competition is in Round Rock next month, and Fink will be there with his team. "There's no excuse. You have to go through life and try your hardest with everything,” he said. “Never stop trying and just run.” 51. When did the accident happen? A. When Fink was in third grade. B. While Fink was playing golf at the course. C. Before Fink saw the sky. D. While Fink was training. 52. After hearing he was hit by a deer, Fink felt ________. A. amused B. astonished C. annoyed D. disappointed 53. What could be inferred from Para. 5? A. The accident did him no harm. B. He had to replace screws for life. C. He was taken to the hospital immediately after the accident. D. He had an operation on his head. 54. Why did the coach send Fink to the junior varsity team first? A. Because Fink was still weak after his recovery. B. Because the coach doubted about his fitness for the race. C. Because the coach was mad with Fink's decision. D. Because Fink had to pass the junior varsity meet first. 55. Which of the following is the passage probably taken from? A. A novel. B. A newspaper. C. A brochure. D. A diary. 【答案】51. D 52. B 53. D 54. B 55. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位九年级的田径运动员杰克·芬克受伤之后，通过自己不懈努力，重新回到了校队。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One morning last month, Fink was running along a golf course not far from school—practicing with his team—when something faster than him hit him hard from behind.(上个月的一个早晨，芬克正在离学校不远的一个高尔夫球场上跑步，和他的团队一起练习，突然有个比他更快的东西从后面狠狠地猛击了他一下)”可知，事故是当芬克在训练时发生的。故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘What? There's no way,’” he said Monday. He never even saw the deer, he said.(“什么？不可能，”他周一说。他说，他甚至都没见过那头鹿)”可知，芬克听说自己被鹿撞了，感到很惊讶。故选B。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“He needed six screws to relieve the pressure, screws that will stay inside his head for the rest of his life.(他需要6颗螺丝来缓冲压力，这些螺丝将会在他的大脑中度过余生)”可推断，他做了头部手术。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Not sure if he was up to it, his coaches put him on the junior varsity team at first.(由于不确定他是否能胜任，他的教练们起初把他安排进了次要代表队)”可推断，教练先送芬克去次要代表队是因为教练怀疑他的体能是否适合比赛。故选B。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。本文是以当事人杰克·芬克和他的教练的视角对他发生的这场事故进行描述和后来他采取的措施而写的一篇文章。由此推知，这篇文章可能来自一份报纸上的报道。故选B。 C Studies have suggested early rising and success might be linked. People who wake up early are more in keeping with the traditional corporate schedule and tend to have more positive personalities, which might lead to better grades in school or higher wages on the job. Is getting up early for everyone? No.There's been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert (机敏的)in the morning, while others are at their best at night.You might be more alert and have better cognitive (认知的)ability in the afternoon, for instance.So, if you don't naturally feel alert in the morning but decide to wake up early anyway, you might be disturbing your actual top performance times.Of course, people may have personal reasons for making an early start.Parents with young children or workers with non­traditional hours may also have no choice about what time they start the day. Getting up early doesn't necessarily translate to instant success at the office.In fact, depending on the person, it could end up having a negative effect.Especially if you don't normally wake up super early and are trying to follow some kind of productivity fashion.An even worse condition may arise if you're actually reducing sleep to become an early riser.Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack.Getting a full night's sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important.So if early rising means cutting sleep, don't do it. What should you do? Don't listen to thought­leaders or Linkedln influencers but figure out what works best for you.Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake.Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally.Try to adjust your schedule to those times, as that's how you'll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead.And above all, it's getting adequate amounts of sleep. 56. What is Paragraph 1 intended to tell us? A. The early bird catches the worm. B. A good beginning makes a good ending. C. A thousand mile trip begins with one step. D. Constant dropping wears the stone. 57. Why is getting up early unfit for everyone? A. People have different cognitive ability. B. It disturbs working orders. C. Not all are in their best state in the morning. D. Few people have their top performance times. 58. What does the author think of getting up early? A. It can lead everyone to success. B. It has no negative effects. C. It means shortening the sleep time. D. It is less important than sleeping enough and well. 59 Which of the following statements is true? A. Everyone is suitable for getting up early. B. Getting up early will translate to instant success at the office C. Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects D. Getting a full night’s sleep is of no importance. 60. What do experts advise to do with the working time? A. Follow the advisers' directions. B. Find out your own best time table. C. Sleep more and better than before. D. Use your energy averagely in a day. 【答案】56. A 57. C 58. D 59. C 60. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究表明，早起可能与成功有关，但是也看个人，最重要的是，要有充足的睡眠。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“People who wake up early are more in keeping with the traditional corporate schedule and tend to have more positive personalities, which might lead to better grades in school or higher wages on the job”（早起的人更符合公司的传统作息时间，性格也更积极，这可能会让他们在学校取得更好的成绩，或者在工作中获得更高的薪水）可知，第一段主要讲的是早起的人更可能成功，也就是The early bird catches the worm（早起的鸟儿有虫吃），故选A。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“No.There's been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert (机敏的)in the morning, while others are at their best at night.You might be more alert and have better cognitive (认知的)ability in the afternoon, for instance”（有很多研究表明，有些人在生理上更有可能在早上感觉更清醒，而另一些人在晚上感觉最好。比如，下午的时候你可能会更加警觉，认知能力也会更好），并不是所有人在早晨都处于最佳状态，故选C。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Getting a full night's sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important.So if early rising means cutting sleep, don't do it”（充足的睡眠和每晚相同时间的睡眠都很重要。所以，如果早起意味着减少睡眠，那就不要早起）可知，睡得好比早起更重要，故选D。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack”（牺牲睡眠意味着你可能会受到睡眠不足的许多负面影响）可知，牺牲睡眠意味着你可能会受到许多负面影响，故选C。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake.Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally.Try to adjust your schedule to those times, as that's how you'll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead”（注意你什么时候最累，什么时候最清醒。记下你入睡和自然醒来的时间。试着调整你的时间表以适应这些时间，因为这样你才能在接下来的一天中利用你大部分的自然能量）可知，专家建议，根据工作时间找出自己的最佳时间表，故选B。 D Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort? Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience. The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure. Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life. Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. 61. Art products differ from most other commercial products because . A. most people purchase them for collection B. they are more expensive and less accessible C. they have both commercial and cultural values D. their prices may climb up as time passes 62. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can . A. keep the community safe from illnesses B. develop a stronger tie between them C. learn to appreciate their own works of art D. offer honourable solutions to their problems 63. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities? A. They enjoy better living conditions. B. They like to compare themselves with others. C. They are particularly good at both music and art. D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally. 64. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them? A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth. B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills. C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career. D. It helps to make responsible people out of them. 65. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Art Cures Our Hearts B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind C. How Art Benefits Communities D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures 【答案】61. C 62. B 63. D 64. A 65. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了艺术这一活动对人类的重要意义，是我们不可或缺的社会生活之一。从赋予商品的商业价值，人类的身心健康和青少年的学术和情感发展等方面论述了艺术的重要意义。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.”（任何公共空间都是由艺术家精心设计的，既实用又美观。）以及“Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can”（艺术可以将文化与商业产品联系起来，这是其他很多东西都做不到的。）可以看出，可见艺术参与的作品兼具文化价值和商业价值。故选择C。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,, and their expression of common values through artworks in honor of events significant to a nation's experience.”（当个人通过反思和讨论分享他们的艺术经验，并通过艺术作品表达共同的价值观，以纪念对一个国家的经验有重要意义的事件时，社会纽带就在他们之间建立起来。），可见通过分享经历，可以建立一种特殊的联系和纽带。故选择B。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not”（研究发现，经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人比不经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人更容易获得健康;），可见参加艺术活动的人们在身心上都相对更加健康。故选择D。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education”（参与艺术的孩子在他们的教育中取得更大的成就）以及“encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.”（有助于在以后的生活中形成健康的情感反应。）可见艺术活动促进了孩子们的学业表现和情感成长。故选择A。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.”（艺术对人类的生命至关重要，世界各国为各种目的庆祝和使用艺术。没有艺术的生活将是无聊和死气沉沉的，因为艺术是我们人类的一部分。）可见艺术是人类重要的部分，文章中也详细描述了艺术对不同人群的好处。所以短文的最佳标题为“艺术:人类的福祉”。故选择B。 第二节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 During the years working in Peacekeeping Force(维和部队), I was sent abroad. As a senior analyst, my workdays were routinely twelve to sixteen hours long. Like all the old soldiers, we looked forward to receiving mails from home. We soldiers received many “To any service member” mails from the States. Those mails were sent by the general public in our mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support. I never took any of those letters, since I wrote to my wife on a daily basis, as well as occasionally writing notes to my daughter Jenny’s classroom, and I didn’t feel I had time to write to anyone else. After five or fix months of hearing from the mail—announcing the availability of “To any service member” mail, I decided to take a few of the letters. Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them “Thanks” for their support. I picked up three letters, and placed them in my cargo pocket and went back to work. Over the next week or so, I started responding to the letters. When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a California postmark, which made me think of home. I had missed spending Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s with my family. Homesickness seized me. I opened the card and started to read the letter attached, which was a short one. About the third or fourth sentence down, it read, “My daddy is a soldier over there, if you see him tell him hi and I love and miss him.” This statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more. Looking down to the name of the sender, I sat in silence as tears filled my eyes. 66. Who will usually write “To any service member” mails? (No more than 8 words) 67. Why did the author decide to answer some “To any service member” mails later? (No more than 10 words) 68. What set the author missing his own family? (No more than 5 words) 69. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph4? (No more than 6 words) 70. At the end of the story, why did the writer sit in silence and cry? Please explain. (No more than 20 words) 【答案】66. The general public in our mother country. 67. To tell them “Thanks” for their support. 68. A California postmark. 69. He missed his family very much. 70. The letter made the author miss his family even more. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者是一位在国外执行任务的维和部队人员，在给祖国人民回信的时候，一位孩子所写的内容让他十分思念家人。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Those mails were sent by the general public in our mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support.”可知，这些邮件是祖国的人民大众写给维和部队的士兵表示支持的。故本题答案可以为“The general public in our mother country”。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them “Thanks” for their support.”可知，作者决定回信，是想向对方的支持表示感谢。所以答案为“To tell them “Thanks” for their support”。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a California postmark, which made me think of home. I had missed spending Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s with my family. Homesickness seized me.”可知，让作者想家的是信上面的a California postmark，所以答案为“A California postmark”。 【69题详解】 句意理解题。划线句前面两句“When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a California postmark, which made me think of home. I had missed spending Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s with my family.”告诉我们一枚加利福尼亚的邮戳让作者非常思念他的家人，他错过了与家人一起过感恩节、圣诞节以及新年。故本题答案可以为“He missed his family very much.”。 【70题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二句“This statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more.”可知，信里孩子的话打动了作者，让他更加思念自己的家人。所以最后他才会静静地坐在那里哭。所以本题答案可以为“The letter made the author miss his family even more.”。 第三节：书面表达（满分25分） 71. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。为了践行社会主义核心价值观，倡导文明行为，你校正在开展“创建文明校园”的活动。请你用英语给全校学生写一封倡议书。内容包括： 1. 创建文明校园的重要性； 2. 校园内存在的不文明现象； 3. 你的观点。 参考词汇：文明校园 civilized campus 社会主义核心价值观 socialist core values 注意：1. 词数不少于100； 2. 内容充实，行文连贯； 3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总次数。 Dear fellow students, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear fellow students, To practice socialist core values and stimulate civilized behaviours, we are making our campus a civilized one, which is of great importance to us.

The added bonus is that living here is insanely cheap, unlike some other tropical getaways. A luxury home with four bedrooms and a pool would only cost about $600 a month. A decent three-bedroom vacation home can be purchased here for just $20,000. And, for only about $2,000 a year, you can also hire a gardener and housekeeper to take care of your property. Ecuador Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result, it has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency. In this country, it's cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the U. S. You can even buy a property for around 50，000 and hire someone to tend to it while you're away. Mexico Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every amenity you might need.

B A ninth-grade Aledo track standout who was the victim of an unusual accident with a deer has returned to the varsity team (校队) and says his story offers a lesson for everyone: “Never stop trying.” Jack Fink, 14, has always loved to run. "I've been running long distance since I was in third grade," Fink said. "It's the wind in my face. Just going as fast as possible." One morning last month, Fink was running along a golf course not far from school — practicing with his team — when something faster than him hit him hard from behind. “I saw the sky and then I saw the ground and then my ears started ringing," he said. Some teammates saw what happened and helped him up. “They told me a couple of minutes after, ‘Jack, you got hit by a deer!’ And I was like, ‘What? There's no way,’” he said Monday. He never even saw the deer, he said. Fink was OK at first but as the hours went on his head started hurting. Fink then went to Cook Children's hospital. "They took me straight back to surgery and they told my mom and dad, ‘Hey, he may not make it,’” he said. X-rays found a skull fracture (颅骨骨折) and bleeding in his brain. He needed six screws (螺钉) to relieve the pressure, screws that will stay inside his head for the rest of his life. He spent a few weeks at home recovering but wanted to run again. Not sure if he was up to it, his coaches put him on the junior varsity team at first. "It's the craziest and the scariest thing I've had to deal with in my coaching career,” track coach Mike Pinkerton said of the incident. "He said, ‘Coach, I'm getting my spot back!’” Pinkerton said. At the junior varsity meet, Fink came in first. He then got his varsity spot back. “I felt like, ‘OK I can do this again. I'm back. I'm ready to run again,’” Fink said. At a regional meet Monday in Lubbock, Fink was the fastest ninth-grader in the entire area. The state competition is in Round Rock next month, and Fink will be there with his team. "There's no excuse. You have to go through life and try your hardest with everything,” he said. “Never stop trying and just run.” 51. When did the accident happen? A. When Fink was in third grade. B. While Fink was playing golf at the course. C. Before Fink saw the sky. D. While Fink was training. 52. After hearing he was hit by a deer Fink felt ________.

He was taken to the hospital immediately after the accident. D. He had an operation on his head. 54. Why did the coach send Fink to the junior varsity team first? A. Because Fink was still weak after his recovery. B. Because the coach doubted about his fitness for the race. C. Because the coach was mad with Fink's decision. D.

C Studies have suggested early rising and success might be linked. People who wake up early are more in keeping with the traditional corporate schedule and tend to have more positive personalities which might lead to better grades in school or higher wages on the job. Is getting up early for everyone? No.There's been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert (机敏的)in the morning, while others are at their best at night.You might be more alert and have better cognitive (认知的)ability in the afternoon, for instance.So, if you don't naturally feel alert in the morning but decide to wake up early anyway, you might be disturbing your actual top performance times.Of course, people may have personal reasons for making an early start.Parents with young children or workers with non­traditional hours may also have no choice about what time they start the day. Getting up early doesn't necessarily translate to instant success at the office.In fact, depending on the person, it could end up having a negative effect.Especially if you don't normally wake up super early and are trying to follow some kind of productivity fashion.An even worse condition may arise if you're actually reducing sleep to become an early riser.Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack.Getting a full night's sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important.So if early rising means cutting sleep, don't do it. What should you do? Don't listen to thought­leaders or Linkedln influencers but figure out what works best for you.Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake.Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally.Try to adjust your schedule to those times, as that's how you'll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead.And above all, it's getting adequate amounts of sleep. 56.

Constant dropping wears the stone. 57. Why is getting up early unfit for everyone? A. People have different cognitive ability. B. It disturbs working orders. C.

Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort? Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience. The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure. Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life. Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. 61. Art products differ from most other commercial products because . A. most people purchase them for collection B. they are more expensive and less accessible C. they have both commercial and cultural values D. their prices may climb up as time passes 62. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can . A. keep the community safe from illnesses B. develop a stronger tie between them C. learn to appreciate their own works of art D. offer honourable solutions to their problems 63. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities? A. They enjoy better living conditions. B. They like to compare themselves with others. C. They are particularly good at both music and art. D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally. 64. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them? A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth. B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills. C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career. D. It helps to make responsible people out of them. 65. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Art Cures Our Hearts B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind C. How Art Benefits Communities D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures 第二节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 During the years working in Peacekeeping Force(维和部队), I was sent abroad. As a senior analyst, my workdays were routinely twelve to sixteen hours long. Like all the old soldiers, we looked forward to receiving mails from home. We soldiers received many “To any service member” mails from the States. Those mails were sent by the general public in our mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support. I never took any of those letters, since I wrote to my wife on a daily basis, as well as occasionally writing notes to my daughter Jenny’s classroom, and I didn’t feel I had time to write to anyone else. After five or fix months of hearing from the mail—announcing the availability of “To any service member” mail, I decided to take a few of the letters. Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them “Thanks” for their support. I picked up three letters, and placed them in my cargo pocket and went back to work. Over the next week or so, I started responding to the letters. When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a California postmark, which made me think of home. I had missed spending Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s with my family. Homesickness seized me. I opened the card and started to read the letter attached, which was a short one. About the third or fourth sentence down, it read, “My daddy is a soldier over there, if you see him tell him hi and I love and miss him.” This statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more. Looking down to the name of the sender, I sat in silence as tears filled my eyes. 66. Who will usually write “To any service member” mails? (No more than 8 words) 67.
