B When Alex Lin was 11 years old,he read an alarming article in the newspaper, which said that people were burying old computers in backyards,throwing TVs into streams,and dumping cell phones in the garbage.This was dangerous because e-waste contains harmful chemicals that can leak into the environment,getting into crops,animals,water supplies and people. Alex was really worried and decided to make it sext project for WIN-the Westerly Innovations Network.Alex and six of his friends had formed this organization to help solve community problems two years before. But what could they do about this project with e-waste?The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e-waste and their effects on humans.They learned how to dispose ofe-waste property and how it could be recycled.Then,they sent out a survey and found only one in eight knew what e-waste was,let alone how to properly dispose of it Alex and his friends went into action.They advertised in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students,asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot.The drive lasted two days,and they collected over 9,500 kilograms of e-waste. The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town. After some research,they'd learned that reusing is the best way to deal with electronic devices and it is seven times more efficient than recycling.So,they began learning to refurbish (computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn't have their own.In this way,they could help students in the area and protect the environment at the same time. For a lasting solution to e-waste,the drop-off center wasn't enough.Laws would have to be passed.In 2016,WIN helped push for an e-waste bill in their town,which required companies that manufactured or sold electronics to take back e-waste.The bill clearly forbids the dumping of e-waste. Because of the work of WIN,more and more people,like Alex and his team,are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste.As Alex says,"Today's technology should not become tomorrow's harmful garbage." 24.What was Alex's worry after he read the article? A.The littering of e-waste. B.The recycling of plastic. C.The change of environment. D.The overuse of old computer. 25.What did Alex do to start the project? A.Set up WIN.

D.Convenient. 27.What message does the story convey? A.There is no end to perfection. B.Success comes through failure C.Every positive attitude has a reward D.Young people can make a big difference. c Creativity Improves Your Health Creativity helps us create works of beauty,solve problems,and refresh our bodies and our minds.It's fun.When you are having fun,you are positively impacting your health.Studies show that engaging in creative behaviors improves brain function, mental health and physical health. You've probably heard of flow-it's the state you get in when you're completely absorbed in something.Have you ever been working on a project and completely lost all sense of self and time?That's flow.It reduces anxiety,boosts your mood,and even slows your heart rate. It's not just being in flow that makes you happy.Repetitive creative motions like knitting,drawing,or writing help activate flow,and are all tasks that create a result. When you succeed in creating a result,your brain is flooded with dopamine.a natural anti-depressant that actually helps motivate you,whether or not you're aware of your increased happiness. Creativity is also an effective treatment for patients with dementia-a serious illness of the mind.Studies show that creative engagement not only reduces depression and isolation.but can also help people with dementia by sharpening their senses. The average person has about 60,000 thoughts in a day.A creative act such as crafting can help focus the mind,and has even been compared to meditation ( due to its calming effects on the brain and body.Even just gardening or sewing releases dopamine. o Creativity reduces anxiety,depression and stress.Studies have found that writing helps people manage their negative emotions in a productive way,and painting or drawing helps people express their mental injury or hurtful experiences that they find too difficult to put into words. Studies show people who write about their experiences daily actually have stronger immune system function.Writing,a creative work,increases your CD4+ lymphocyte count,the key to your immune system. Playing music can also function well in your immune system.Studies show that our left brain is responsible for the motor functions,while our right brain focuses on melody.When the two parts work together,our cognitive function improves. 6 It's pretty amazing that doing the activities is good for us.Get a pen and start writing or coloring.Get your hands dirty with pottery or gardening or pick up an instrument.Whatever you decide to do,it's time to start getting creative! 28.Which situation shows that you are in flow? A.You are working with a difficult task. B You are having a boring repetitive action. C You get lost and don't know where to go. D.You are absorbed in a work that interests you 29.The underlined word"dopamine"in Paragraph 3 is probably A.an awareness of how to be successful B a thought having calming effects on the brain C.an activity to fight against your negative emotions D.a material for the functioning of the nervous system 30.What can we learn from the passage? A.Repetitive actions can cure patients with mental diseases. B.Creative activities help you build a stronger immune system. C.Meditation makes your anxiety,depression and stress disappear. D Telling others your hurtful experiences helps improve your health. D Psychological science is full of interesting topics,many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature,but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories.A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood intersection between strength-based science and the research on narcissism(自Z恋)， There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth.Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions,with about 25%of young people showing symptoms of nareissism The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship,out-of-control consumerism,materialism...perhaps even a new type of president. We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our-fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves. In my own research on strength-based parenting it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for self-entitlement.Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else.It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant,selfish and uncaring.Genuine confidence about one's strengths is categorized as over-confidence;desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration. Why does this occur?It's partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths.While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective conscious.The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored "go-to"topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it. The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unwittingly fall prey to binary(非此即彼的)thinking.We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble.We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa.There's no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths,and yet they are both pillars of humility and selflessness. When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus,we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are,actually,more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others. It's.tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring,thoughtful and humble-even when they use their strengths. 31.What can we learn from the passage? A Both strengths psychology and narcissism are difficult to understand. B.Approximately a quarter of kids are potential narcissists. C.Knowing the kids'strengths has an opposite effect on making them feel good. 8 D.An increasing number of youth are showing an inflated sense of self. 32.Why are teenagers'strengths often mistaken for narcissism? A.Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public. B.Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism. C.There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness. D.A number of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors. 33.What's the author's attitude towards strength-based parenting? A.Skeptical. B.Neutral. C.Favorable. D.Cautious. 34.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A.A Recipe for Self-entitlement B.Teens'Narcissism Diagnosis C.Binary Thinking of Psychological Science D.Teens'Confidence Misunderstood 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有 两项为多余选项。 People Who Can't Count A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia,the mathematical inability in reading,affects about 5%of children in Britain.There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelligent. So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics?Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects.35 For example,they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are.In other words,they have to count them one by one.This is where they are different from others.The majority of us,if shown three or four similar things,can immediately recognise them. 36 They cannot understand,for instance,why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other.Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers. There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics 37 If your best friend is always late,he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time,and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work.In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations.38E This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are.due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday. On the other hand,dyscalculics are very good at creative arts.People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets.Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition.Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as,if not earlier than,most children and have no problem learning to read or write.39 A.Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all. B.This disability scares children away from learning mathematics. C.They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects. D.It is quite reasonable for dyscalculics to solve this kind of specific problem at any time. E They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they've got left after a shopping trip. F We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability,not a general indication of intelligence. G.This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节阅读表达（共4小题；第40、41小题各2分，第42小题3分，第43 小题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Judgement is a quality that is hard to define but important to possess.Sir Andrew Likierman of the London Business School suggests that judgment is"the combination of personal qualities with relevant knowledge and experience to form opinions and take decisions".And he argues that,thus defined,udgment involves a process-taking in information,deciding whom and what to trust,summarizing one's personal knowledge,checking any prior beliefs or feelings,summarizing the available choices and then making the decision. Expert knowledge can be useful in making judgments.But it is not the same thing."Academics have expert knowledge,"Sir Andrew observes."They don't necessarily have judgment."People with judgment know when they are out of their depth in making a decision and typically then seek the advice of someone who has the right background and knowledge."While good judgment is important to success,"Sir Andrew cautions,"success is not a signal that there has been good judgment." 10
