Pinnick said when he told friends and family he wanted to go to the Wudang Kungfu Academy in China, the response was typical. “It’s not a usual thing to say, but it is pretty normal for kids to want to get out of a place like Kewanee. Most kids say something like they want to move to Hollywood and become an actor,” said the 30-year-old. “When I first thought about it, it was daydreaming for myself, too.” Once he found himself at the academy, Pinnick said fitting in was softened by other foreigners who were in the area and a part of the school. Getting used to the way of life was surprisingly easy given the peaceful nature to it. Pinnick said after a while, he found himself more at home in Wudang than he ever felt back home in Kewanee. Locals were more than welcoming and willing to engage. “The culture shock wasn’t that bad. Surprisingly, I find I have more of that going back to America now... learning the language did take some time, but everyone around the school was familiar with foreigners, so we had a lot of fun speaking broken English and Chinese back and forth at the start.” After he settled into a routine. Pinnick set about engaging himself in Chinese culture, including Kungfu-training. He was also attracted by the philosophical tradition most well-known for the idea of living in harmony with the universe. Pinnick said he had to go home after the first six months and immediately wanted to return to China, feeling as if it had now become his home more than America, and he had begun a process of rewriting himself as a person overseas. His life now goes around training, teaching and studying. He graduated from the academy in 2014 and still helps teach there. Pinnick said the goal is to one day return to America and teach what he has learned. Looking back on his amazing journey, Pinnick said he has grown by leaps and bounds from a small-town American kid who had a daydream he could not shake. 24. What did Pinnick’s family think of his idea of learning Kungfu? A. Creative. B. Disappointing. C. Challenging. D. Unrealistic. 25. What mainly helped Pinnick get used to the life in China? A. His fluent Chinese. B. The friendly local culture. C. His peaceful nature. D. Other foreign teachers there. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Pinnick planned to leave for Hollywood when he was a kid. B. At the start, Pinnick needn’t spend much time in learning Chinese. C. Pinnick began to write a book after he settled in Wudang Academy. D. Pinnick’s life now consists of training, teaching and studying. 27. What did Pinnick gain from his experience in China? A. A large fortune. B. A career choice. C. A Kungfu certificate. D. A good reputation. C. When considering the members of my social network, I often find myself enveloped in pure feelings of love and warmth, affection and support. A handful, however, arouse quite different emotions — a mixture of eagerness and fear. In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can exhaust all my goodwill. If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies. Psychologists call them “ambivalent relationships”. According to a wealth of research these relationships are often more stressful. They can damage your mental and physical health. Knowing this, the simple solution would seem to be to cut ties with these people. But our relationships with frenemies aren’t simple and ditching (摆脱) them isn’t always possible or even desirable. To capture interpersonal dynamics, Julianne Holt-Lunstad and her Utah-based Brigham Young University colleagues designed a scale identifying four relationship categories. Try it: pick people in your network and answer two questions on a 1-6 scale. When you are feeling in need of advice, understanding or a favour, how helpful is your connection? Likewise, how upsetting is your connection? People scoring 1 on both are indifferent relationships. Those who score high on helpfulness and low on upset are supportive ties; low on helpfulness and high on upset are aversive relationships; both high indicate ambivalent connections — frenemies. They may be incredibly generous when you have a problem yet can also lash out (怒斥) with a bitter put-down when they feel envious or threatened. We might hope the good outweighs the bad in such relationships, but research complicates this. Holt-Lunstad’s team found that simply knowing that an ambivalent connection was in the next room as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. It also slowed their recovery after the task. In fact, even unintentional reminders of a frenemy can shatter our peace of mind. Furthermore, ambivalent connections contribute to telomere decline. Telomeres, protective caps at chromosome (染色体) ends, prevent DNA damage during cell division. As we age, telomeres wear down, and, when they become too short, cells may start to malfunction or die. Shorter telomeres increase the risk of age-related diseases. The problems of ambivalent connections are hard to solve, especially in work or family. Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection, so that we could manage expectations, focus more on the good in these people and feel compassion for their unpleasant streaks, while also attempting to reduce contact when they cause stresses. Just as importantly this has prompted me to consider my own behavior — are there relationships in which I am the frenemy? 28. What does the underlined word “ambivalent” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Giving help or encouragement. B. Continuing or developing gradually. C. Having a mixture of opposing feelings. D. Happening sometimes and not at other times. 29. The author uses Julianne Holt-Lunstad’s scale to ______. A. measure the level of generosity in friendships B. predict the outcome of conflicts with frenemies C. show it’s difficult to break up with frenemies. D. compare the benefits of different connections 30. What can we learn about frenemies from the passage? A Ambivalent connections can shorten telomere to prevent DNA damage. B. Frenemies don’t need to say a word to cause anxiety. C. Interacting with frenemies hardly results in helpful connections. D. High expectations on frenemies improve the relationship. 31. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Understanding and Managing Frenemies B. The Complexities of Human Relationships C. The Impact of Frenemies on Our Well-being D. The Double-Edged Sword of Social Connections 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，28分） 第一节（共4小题；第52小题2分，第53、54小题各3分，第55小题5分，共13分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 Do We Need Art in Our Lives No one will be surprised to hear that the arts are under fire in this day and age. We view the arts as something of a hobby, something that’s fun but certainly can’t pay the rent. If it’s not a useful skill, no wonder arts funding is being cut in schools. Do we really need art in our lives? In schools, time and money is at a premium (稀有而珍贵), now more than ever. With teachers having to fit so many lessons into every day, it’s easy to see why art is dropping more and more by the wayside. Budgets are dropping at an alarming rate, and what school is going to drop teaching in essential subjects such as math or science when they can drop art instead? It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is a sad fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be. There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people. For example, art therapy has helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and physical, cope with their symptoms. Art is found almost anywhere you look in your home. Practical items, such as bedspreads, furniture or clothing, are all art forms in themselves and arouse emotions in the people interacting with them. Art also gives us insight into the world. History tells us what happened and when it happened, but it can’t tell us how the population at large felt about it, which is where art steps in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worked, because their art has given us such a deep insight into their daily lives. We wouldn’t have that insight without it. Most of all, we need art in our lives as it gives us a form of self-expression. Being able to talk about our feelings is essential to staying healthy. You may not think you talk about your feelings, but you may express them in other ways. Some like to cook or bake, some like to work on machinery, and others may like to paint or draw. Whatever you like to do in your spare time, you’re probably creating art every day. So, do we need art in our lives? Many people would say no, but the art they’re thinking of is the art you see in galleries. Art is actually much more accessible and is truly needed in everyday life. It helps those in need, gives people in the future an idea of what life was like, and is a vital form of self-expression. 32. Why do some schools drop art? __________________________________________________________________________________ 33. From which three aspects can art benefit our lives? __________________________________________________________________________________ 34. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. We need art in our lives but art only exists in galleries and theatres. __________________________________________________________________________________ 35. Explain how art benefits you by giving an example.

We need art in our lives but art only exists in galleries and theatres. According to the passage art is much more accessible. It is part of our life. So art is everywhere not just in galleries and theatres. 35. Art eases stress and fosters self-expression. When I feel overwhelmed, I often turn to painting. Creating art allows me to channel my emotions into something tangible, which not only improves my mood but also gives me a sense of accomplishment. 第二节（15分） 【36题答案】 【答案】Dear Michael. I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to invite you to join me in the upcoming school talent show themed “Show Your True Self and Shine in Youth” in our school. The event is scheduled to be held at the school auditorium next Friday afternoon. The heme of this year emphasizes self-expression, so students will be inspired to showcase their unique talents in various forms — whether through music, dance, poetry or even innovative art performances. What’s more, interactive workshops where students can try some simple performances or crafts, such as conducting Chinese calligraphy or paper cutting, are also advocated. I believe the event would be a fantastic opportunity for you to immerse yourself in our school culture, even the lively atmosphere there. I would be delighted if you can come.
