Walsh believes the vidcos gaincd popularity becausc she is 75."It's because I'm a senior,said Walsh."You don't usuaHysee someone my age doing hip-hop and moving tike that.-"But actually,it's more than that.Just as her profile claims,Walsh's videos are "inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching. "Dance isn't just your body,it's what you're feeling inside about the dance and it's what comes out here in your face,"Walsh said."What I want to put through my movement is how much fun it is and how much joy it gives you." From a young age;Walsh loved to dance but her family didn't have the money for classes.When she was nearly 30,she got her daughter ballet lessons,which her daughter hated.So,she took her daughter out and started classes herself right away.

Walsh dances'for fun and fitness,but also for therapy(心理治疗)，She struggled through countless hardships,and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don't.She turns to her faith,her friends and of course,dance,to shine as an inspiration to those around her. Gilbert,one of Walsh's followers,says she inspires him every day."She's a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn't matter about your age or your size.As long as you feel good,that's'all that matters,"says Gilbert."I am truly thankful that Walsh is teaching me at the age of 32 to.live my life full and stop being so scared." 24.What motivates Walsh to do hip-hop?

Optimistic About Life:The Way to Survive B.Forever Young in Dance:An Inspiring Figure C.Embracing Social Media:The Key to,Success D.Dancing with the Young:An Amazing Journey 试卷第2页，共8页 C It's no secret now that the more time we spend on social media,the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves.We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities (well,famous people like Justin Bieber)-so it's easy to.understand how that can affect our confidence. But,how often have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by eelebrities,new research has found. The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engagement was significantly associated with lower 'appearance satisfaction'. Additionally,it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities. Viren Swami,Professor of Social Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know it's hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences,but when we're comparing ourselves to our friends,it feels like we should-or could-live the way they do. "One possible explanation is that people may believe a post showing appearance as being much more acquirable if it comes from someone.they know,adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post,he said."At the same time,people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities,and therefore assume the images they share to be more unrealistic. This is not just confined to body image though.We all have one area in our lives that triggers us.Maybe you've been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media,envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe... All this is to say the obvious:we only see part of people's lives -and if it's getting you down,you're probably comparing your insides to other people's outsides Everyone has their struggles and life is indeed not perfect for anyone.So,put down your phone,get offline,be thankful and try to live your own life. 28.What did the new study find? A.Social media invites unfavorable comments. B.Friends'posts affect us more than celebrities'. C.Celebrities have a negative influence on our life. D.Body image causes more concern than social life. 29.Why are we more likely to compare with our friends according to Swam? A.They serve as role models. B.We know the way they live. C.Their lifestyles are accessible. D.We are curious about their life. 30.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A.limited. B.related..C.devoted. D.explored. 31.What does the author suggest people do? A.Find your dream and fight for it.B.Stop comparing and be yourself C.Be grateful and lead a perfect life.D.Stop complaining and get down to work. D Each year,tho world losos about 10 million hectaros of forost-at area about the sizo of Icoland-bocauso of cutting down trocs.At that rato,some scicntists predict tho world's forests could disappear in 100 to 200 ycars.To handle it,now researchers at Massachusotts Instituto of Technology (MIT)have pioncered a technique to generate wood-liko plant matorials in a lab.This makes it possible to-"grow"a wooden product without cutting down troos,- I tho lab,the rescarchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant.These colls arc cultured in liquid medium for two days,then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones ()By adjusting the hormone levels,the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells:New the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material,and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months.Finally,the researchers dehydrate(使脱水)the material,,and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density ()while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller,but denser cell structures.Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid,helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics.What's more,it's to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity！ Research of this kind is ground-breaking."This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,"says lead researcher,Jeffrey Berenstab."The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it.This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes,sazes,rigidity,and forms.It enables us to grow'any weoden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can't achieve." 32.Why do researchers at MIT perform the research? A.To grow more trees. B.'To reduce tree losses. C.To protect plant diversity D.To predict ferest disappearance. 33.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A.Its scientific origins. B.Its theoretieal basis C.Its usual difficulties. D.Its main processes 34.What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A.They are better than naturally grown plants. B.Their growth speed determines their characteristics. C.The hormone levels affect their rigidity. D.Their cells'shapes mainly rely on their density. 35.Why is the research path-breaking according to Berenstain? A.It uses new biofogical materials in lab experiments. B.It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. C.It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. D.It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. 试卷第4页，共8页 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中 有两项为多余选项。 One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. 36There's no \alue in delivering any kind of communication,whether written, spoken.formal,or informal,if the message doesn't come across clearly.Being clear and brief-while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know-is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you'tailor your communications to their interests.37 This wil engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don't use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and-committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message'simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. 38 However.they're hearing it for the first time.Keep it simple 39 If you'te ever worked as an instructor,manager,trainer or eoach,you'll know that there are few.better ways to learn new information than to teach it.Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others.Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you're communicating isn't urgent,consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it,think it over, and follow up with questions.40 Building effective communication skills takes time,but the effects are worth the effort. A.Be patient. B.Get the audience involved. C.The best messages are often simple. D.Speak directly to what matters to them. E.You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F.It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G.As the speaker,you already know what you're going to say 第三部分语言运用（共两小节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I knew exercise is good for health-who doesn't?But 41 were easier Running bored me,biking sourded risky,and the gym seemed too much to handle.

When I was just eleven years old,I first laid eyes on that adorably tiny pup with a mass of curly hair,and it was love at first sight. Cindy wasn't just cute;she was incredibly smart too.I took great delight in teaching her all sorts of nifty tricks.Whenever I placed a stick or a small piece of carrot close to her mouth and uttered the word "chew",she'd dutifully obey.She loved going for walks with my friends and me.She danced around us as if listening to our conversations about school and clothes and movies we'd seen.I'd tell her about my friends,the boys I liked,the test I was about to take in History.Cindy would sit and stare at me as if listening to everything I told her. Then,out of the blue,my uncle,my mother's younger brother,found himself in a tough situation and came to stay with us.He and his wife were struggling financially after he lost his job.They slept in my room and I slept on the couch.My mom didn't want Cindy's curly fur all over the living room furniture,so she had to sleep in the garage.Instead of being beside my bed as usual,she was out of my aunt and uncle's 试卷第7页，共8页 way.I resented their presence and kept Cindy outside with me as much as possible.
