As it turned out, they ____13____ an extraordinary archaeological discovery. In the underground pits stood a life-sized terra cotta army.

It is believed that the project began in 246 B.C. and involved countless artisans, craftsmen and laborers over several decades. ____14____ Pit 1, which covers over 14,000 square meters and contains thousands of soldiers, is still under excavation. Then there is the tomb of the emperor himself. While archeologists want to know what’s inside the tomb, they don’t want to run the risk of damaging the tomb.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍兵马俑的偶然发现过程、其工艺特点、目前的考古进展,以及秦始皇陵暂未开启的原因。 【11题详解】 考查语境衔接。句意:这支沉默的军队在地下矗立了几个世纪,直到这次偶然的相遇让它们重见天日。A. with the army mirroring his army in life这支军队复刻了他生前的军队;B. until this chance encounter brought them to light直到这次偶然的相遇让它们重见天日;C. ever since Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified China自从秦始皇统一中国以来;D. when they accompanied him into the afterlife当它们陪伴他进入来世时。前文提到兵马俑“被农民偶然发现”,此处“until this chance encounter brought them to light”(until引导时间状语)恰好衔接“地下矗立”与“被发现”的逻辑,体现“发现”这一转折点。故选B项。 【12题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意:他们几乎不知道自己将要发现什么。A. Few很少,修饰可数名词;B. Only仅仅;C. Little几乎不,修饰不可数名词或作副词表程度;D. Never从不。“Little did they know...”是固定倒装结构,意为“他们几乎不知道……”,符合农民“偶然挖井、未预料到重大发现”语境。故选C项。 【13题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意:事实证明,他们偶然发现了一项非凡的考古发现。A. longed to渴望;B. stumbled upon偶然发现;C. brought about导致;D. created as作为……被创。前文明确兵马俑是“by accident”(偶然)发现的,“stumbled upon”(强调“意外撞见”)与“偶然发现”完全呼应。故选B项。 【14题详解】 考查语境衔接。句意:除了每个陶俑都有不同特征这一事实外,它们令人惊叹的规模也让它们独具特色。一号坑占地超过1.4万平方米,容纳数千名士兵,目前仍在发掘中。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Picture a library without books? Unlike many people today, I don’t own a Kindle or any type of e-reader. I prefer the old-fashioned book. There is something about holding a book and being able to turn the pages that I find comforting. Today books may become obsolete. That’s something I find scary. I remember one episode (一段情节) from a TV science-fiction series Twilight Zone, which is about a librarian who has become obsolete. Though this episode aired in 1961, the writer of the series, Rod Serling, was exactly on point when it came to predicting the future. In fact, in San Antonio, Texas, the first-ever bookless library in the country opened. The library is full of iMacs, tablets and iPads which cost a huge $2.3 million. The library offers around 10,000 e-books. So the question is: Is this what the future will soon be? Digital libraries may help the environment by not using paper. However, I feel like something will always be lacking with a digital book. A digital library is just the beginning. With new technology, people seem to be more absorbed in their own world. Though social media is great, it also is addicting and has negative effects. Often when I go on Facebook it just makes me feel worse about myself. I’ll see many of my 800 Facebook friends showing off their newest accomplishment or acceptance to college. Additionally, our society is becoming increasingly lazy. For instance, instead of doing mental math, people use their phone to solve 89174. It is simple tasks like these that are allowing people to lack important educational and social skills. It is up to us to find a balance between technology and human values and interactions. With new technology being created every day, we need to learn how to use it alongside our great minds. After all, inventions are supposed to benefit society, not harm it. In the day of technology, who knows what’s next? 16. The underlined word “obsolete” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. outdated B. complex C. expensive D. meaningless 17. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. The episode still enjoys great popularity nowadays. B. Rod Serling liked making predictions about the future. C. The situation of books today is similar to what Rod Serling predicted in the episode. D. The episode aired in 1961 was the most entertaining of the TV science-fiction series. 18. What can we learn about the library in San Antonio, Texas? A. It is the first-ever library in America. B. It is of no practical use although it costs so much. C. It holds an exhibition of much electronic equipment. D. People can read e-books there with the help of the new facilities. 19. Which of the following will the writer probably disagree with? ________ A. Great as social media is, it does have some negative effects. B. With the increasing use of social media, something will actually be lost. C. Through social media, people can develop educational and social skills around. D. As a result of social media, people may communicate less with the people around. 20. The tone of the passage is best described as ________. A. optimistic B. skeptical C. supportive D. objective 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过描述一个没有书籍的图书馆场景,引出了对于书籍可能被淘汰的担忧,并讨论了数字化图书馆的优缺点,同时指出了社交媒体带来的负面影响,最后呼吁人们在科技与人类价值观和互动之间找到平衡。 【16题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Unlike many people today, I don’t own a Kindle or any type of e-reader. I prefer the old-fashioned book. There is something about holding a book and being able to turn the pages that I find comforting. Today books may become obsolete. That’s something I find scary. (不像今天的许多人,我没有Kindle或任何类型的电子阅读器。我更喜欢老式的书。拿着书,能翻页,这让我感到很安慰。今天,书籍可能会变得obsolete。这让我觉得很可怕。)”可知,作者偏爱传统纸质书,而如今出现了以电子设备和电子书为主的图书馆,书籍可能会变得obsolete,这让他感到可怕。因此,此处指书籍可能会变得“过时”,所以作者感到害怕。“outdated (过时的)”与画线词意思最接近。故选A项。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I remember one episode (一段情节) from a TV science-fiction series Twilight Zone, which is about a librarian who has become obsolete. Though this episode aired in 1961, the writer of the series, Rod Serling, was exactly on point when it came to predicting the future. (我记得科幻电视剧《阴阳魔界》里的一段情节,讲的是一位图书管理员变得不再被需要。虽然这一集在1961年播出,但该剧的编剧Rod Serling在预测未来方面却极为准确。)”可知,1961年的剧集里图书馆员“过时”的情节,与如今纸质书可能被电子书取代、无书图书馆出现的现实相符,即“如今书籍的处境与Rod Serling在剧集中预测的情况相似”。故选C项。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, in San Antonio, Texas, the first-ever bookless library in the country opened. The library is full of iMacs, tablets and iPads which cost a huge $2.3 million. The library offers around 10,000 e-books. So the question is: Is this what the future will soon be? (事实上,在德克萨斯州的圣安东尼奥,美国有史以来第一个没有书籍的图书馆开业了。图书馆里摆满了iMac、平板电脑和iPad,耗资230万美元。该图书馆提供约1万本电子书。所以问题是:这就是不久的将来吗?)”可知,圣安东尼奥市的图书馆配备了苹果电脑、平板电脑等新设备,提供约1万本电子书,人们可借助这些新设备阅读电子书。故选D项。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Though social media is great, it also is addicting and has negative effects. Often when I go on Facebook it just makes me feel worse about myself. I’ll see many of my 800 Facebook friends showing off their newest accomplishment or acceptance to college. Additionally, our society is becoming increasingly lazy. For instance, instead of doing mental math, people use their phone to solve 89174. It is simple tasks like these that are allowing people to lack important educational and social skills. (虽然社交媒体很棒,但它也会让人上瘾,并且存在负面影响。我经常上Facebook,可这只会让我自我感觉更差。我会看到我那800个Facebook好友中的很多人在炫耀他们最新的成就或是被大学录取的消息。此外,我们的社会正变得越来越懒惰。比如,人们不做心算,而是用手机来计算89174。正是这类简单的任务,使得人们逐渐缺乏重要的学习和社交技能。)”可知,作者认为社交媒体会让人上瘾,产生负面影响,让人们缺乏重要的教育和社交技能,因此,作者可能不同意“通过社交媒体,人们可以培养相关的教育技能和社交技能。”这一观点。故选C项。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。纵览全文,特别是根据第一段中“Today books may become obsolete. That’s something I find scary. (今天,书籍可能会变得过时。这让我觉得很可怕。)”、第三段中“So the question is: Is this what the future will soon be? (所以问题是:这就是不久的将来吗?)”、第四段中“However, I feel like something will always be lacking with a digital book. A digital library is just the beginning. With new technology, people seem to be more absorbed in their own world. (然而,我觉得电子书总是缺少点什么。数字图书馆只是一个开始。随着新技术的出现,人们似乎更加沉浸在自己的世界里。)”以及最后一段中“It is up to us to find a balance between technology and human values and interactions. With new technology being created every day, we need to learn how to use it alongside our great minds. After all, inventions are supposed to benefit society, not harm it. (我们应该在科技和人类价值观和互动之间找到平衡。随着每天都有新技术被创造出来,我们需要学习如何利用它和我们伟大的思想。毕竟,发明应该造福社会,而不是危害社会。)”可知,文章讨论了书籍可能被淘汰的担忧,数字化图书馆的优缺点,社交媒体带来的负面影响,最后呼吁人们在科技与人类价值观和互动之间找到平衡,整体基调是怀疑和担忧的。故选B项。 B Have you ever wished you could be better organized or more sociable? Perhaps you’re a constant worrier, and you’d prefer to be a little more carefree? Actually at least 2/3 of people would like to change some elements of their personality. In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One’s personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life. Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality. Their interventions (干预) typically involve recommending regular activities that reflect the personality traits(特征) people wish to adopt. Introverts who wish to be more outgoing, for example, might have the goal of introducing themselves to a stranger once a week, or making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Someone who wishes to be more organized and disciplined might be asked to carefully double-check an email before sending it, or to write a to-do list before going to bed. While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviors they produce to become habitual. And the evidence so far suggests it works remarkably well. In one 15-week trial of 400 people, participants accepted an average of two challenges each week. After they completed those tasks, their traits shifted in the desired direction, according to a personality questionnaire (调查问卷). The unexpected personality change should be good news for anyone who wishes they were a bit more sociable, organized, or happy-go-lucky. Another potential benefit is that awareness of this research could help improve mental health. People always believe negative feelings are just part of who they are, and there is little they can do to change them. But what if educating people about their potential for personality change could place them on a more positive track? To test this idea, Harvard professor of psychology, John Weisz, and his partner selected a group of 100 teenagers who had previously shown signs of anxiety or depression. They took a computerized course that explained the science of brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given worksheets to strengthen what they had learned. When Weisz checked in on the teens’ mental health nine months later, the students reported a significant decrease in their anxiety and depression compared with those who had instead taken part in a course on “emotional expression”. Whether you are struggling with serious issues or simply want to polish off your rougher edges, remember that character is within your own hands and you have the power to become what you want to be. 21. According to the passage, an old belief about personality is that ________. A. most people are satisfied with their personality B. sociable or organized people are more popular C. childhood has nothing to do with personality D. people can’t change their personality traits 22. In Nathan Hudson’s research, participants ________. A. became more aware of their mental health B. formed new thinking patterns and behaviors C. reported their completed tasks in the questionnaire D. were advised to work as cashiers in the supermarket 23. John Weisz’s study is mentioned to ________ Hudson’s research. A. question the result of B. make a comparison with C. explain the method used in D. show an additional benefit of 24. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. Mental Issues: More than Meets the Eye B. Personality: It Is Not Set in Stone C. Your Personality Shapes Your Future D. A Great Cure for Mental Problems 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. D 24. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,该研究表明通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力,许多人可以成功地塑造他们想要的个性。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One’s personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life.(在过去,这样的愿望似乎是徒劳的。一个人的个性被认为是在童年时期形成的,并在他的一生中保持不变。)”可知,关于个性,过去人们总是认为那是在童年时期形成的,并保持不变。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviors they produce to become habitual. And the evidence so far suggests it works remarkably well. In one 15-week trial of 400 people, participants accepted an average of two challenges each week. After they completed those tasks, their traits shifted in the desired direction, according to a personality questionnaire (调查问卷).(虽然这些任务看起来微不足道,但目标是让他们产生的思维模式和行为成为习惯。迄今为止的证据表明,它的效果非常好。在一项有400人参加的为期15周的试验中,参与者平均每周接受两次挑战。根据一份性格调查问卷显示,在他们完成这些任务后,他们的性格会朝着预期的方向转变。)”可知,在Nathan的研究中,参与者形成了新的思维模式和行为。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“But what if educating people about their potential for personality change could place them on a more positive track? To test this idea, Harvard professor of psychology, John Weisz, and his partner selected a group of 100 teenagers who had previously shown signs of anxiety or depression.(但是,如果教育人们人格改变的潜力可以让他们走上更积极的道路呢?为了验证这一观点,哈佛大学心理学教授John Weisz和他的搭档选择了一组100名青少年,他们之前都有焦虑或抑郁的迹象。)”以及文章第七段“When Weisz checked in on the teens’ mental health nine months later, the students reported a significant decrease in their anxiety and depression compared with those who had instead taken part in a course on “emotional expression”.(当Weisz在9个月后检查这些青少年的心理健康时,与那些参加“情绪表达”课程的学生相比,这些学生的焦虑和抑郁明显减少。)”可知,John Weisz的研究显示了Hudson研究的另一个好处,也就是可以改善心理健康。故选D。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality.(然而,心理学教授Nathan Hudson和他的同事最近的研究挑战了这种固定性格的预期。他们说,通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力,许多人可以成功地塑造他们想要的个性。)”以及文章最后一段“Whether you are struggling with serious issues or simply want to polish off your rougher edges, remember that character is within your own hands and you have the power to become what you want to be.(无论你是在与严肃的问题作斗争,还是只是想擦亮自己的锋芒,记住,性格掌握在你自己手中,你有能力成为你想成为的人。)”可知,本文主要介绍的是个性并不是一成不变的,我们可以通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力成功地塑造我们想要的个性。故选B。 Section Ⅱ Directions: select the best option from the seven options provided after the passage, based on the content of the text. Two of the options are extra. Avatars Tell a Lot Believe it or not, profile pictures can tell a lot about the person. Is he or she funny? Single or married? Plump or slim? Strangers can more or less get a clue of what kind of person you are from your avatar! Frankly speaking, profile picture is to social media what one’s appearance is to real life. Since your profile picture serve as the handiest source of what kind of person you are to strangers or people unfamiliar, it can leave a strong influence on how others think of you in the long term. ___25___ Furthermore, profile photo can partially decide how others trust you. Reports show that a photo of real person gains trust more easily than an image of a cartoon or something else. Sometimes profile pictures can mirror one’s inner feelings. People who adopt cute pets and animation figures as their profile pictures are more likely to feel uneasy when handling daily trivia. ___26___Youngsters tease elder people about their old-fashioned profile photos — either landscape or plants. Obvious enough, post 90s people have more complex taste in choosing profile photos — some use portraits of their idols, some use Internet memes while others choose a popular dog to show they are single. Some even follow the pace of season to change their profile photos. Unavoidably, different tastes in profile photos render awkward dispute between children and parents. A netizen complained that her mom asked her to change the avatar in which she made a face and stuck out her tongue because Chinese traditional grim reapers do the same facial expression. Profile picture is believed to somehow reflect personality. A vote on the profile photos mostly used by playboys went viral on Sina Weibo in January 2018. Many Internet users gave positive backing to the result of the vote. Those who use selfies as profile pictures are more inclined to express themselves in public. ___27___ Though people of similar temper are very likely to appreciate similar style of profile photo, it is still closely relevant to individual preference. Is there anyone in your friend list who changes profile photos so frequently on social media that you can’t follow its pace? You have an eyeful of it and can’t help wondering: why did he/she change his/her avatar again? Frequent change of profile photos, or even a changeable style, is likely to be a sign of instable personality. Of course, changing profile photos frequently in a short term may indicate that your friend feels up and down during that time. ___28___ Just as appearances do not determine everything, avatars may have a greater impact on the formation of first impressions, but this effect fades as people learn more about each other. ___29___ In fact, people know from the bottom of their hearts that a profile photo can never alter the true image of a person that is mostly based on character and quality. A. So please do not overstate the importance of a photo online. B Youngsters have better tastes in choosing profile pictures than elders. C. But it has an even greater influence on how others view you in the short term. D. Meanwhile, your profile picture is revealing your age without you noticing it. E. To be more specific, they are eager to build a positive self-image and reveal it to others. F. For example, a lonely silhouette makes others feel distant while a warm smile brings sincerity. G. However, one exception is that some perfectionists change their profile pictures from time to time to approach the so-called “perfect” standard. 【答案】25. F 26. D 27. E 28. G 29. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了网络头像的一些意想不到的作用,不同类型的头像可能会给人不同的印象,也会给别人传达一些信息。 【25题详解】 根据上文“Frankly speaking, profile picture is to social media what one’s appearance is to real life. Since your profile picture serve as the handiest source of what kind of person you are to strangers or people unfamiliar, it can leave a strong influence on how others think of you in the long term. (坦率地说,头像之于社交媒体就像一个人的外表之于现实生活。由于你的头像是陌生人或不熟悉的人了解你是什么样的人的最方便的来源,从长远来看,它会对别人对你的看法产生很大的影响。)”可知,本句就上文头像会对别人对你的看法产生很大的影响进行举例说明:例如,一个孤独的剪影会让人感到疏远,而一个温暖的微笑会带来真诚。故F选项“例如,一个孤独的剪影会让人感到疏远,而一个温暖的微笑会带来真诚。”符合语境,故选F。 【26题详解】 根据本段内容“Youngsters tease elder people about their old-fashioned profile photos — either landscape or plants. Obvious enough, post 90s people have more complex taste in choosing profile photos — some use portraits of their idols, some use Internet memes while others choose a popular dog to show they are single. Some even follow the pace of season to change their profile photos. (年轻人取笑老年人的老式头像——要么是风景,要么是植物。很明显,90后在选择头像时有着更复杂的品味——一些人用偶像的肖像,一些人用网络表情包,还有一些人选择一只受欢迎的狗来显示自己是单身。有些人甚至会跟着季节的节奏换头像。)”可知,本段的主旨是头像会暴露一个人的年龄。故D选项“同时,你的头像在不知不觉中暴露了你的年龄”符合语境,故选D。 【27题详解】 根据上文“Those who use selfies as profile pictures are more inclined to express themselves in public (那些用自拍作为头像的人更倾向于在公共场合表达自己。)”可知,本句是对上文的具体说明,且E选项中reveal it to others对应上文express themselves in public。故E选项“更具体地说,他们渴望建立一个积极的自我形象,并把它展示给别人”符合语境,故选E。 28题详解】 根据上文“Of course, changing profile photos frequently in a short term may indicate that your friend feels up and down during that time. (当然,短期内频繁更换头像可能表明你的朋友在这段时间里情绪起伏不定)”可知,上文解释了短期内频繁更换头像的原因,G选项中change their profile pictures from time to time对应上文changing profile photos frequently。故G选项“然而,有一个例外是,一些完美主义者会不时地改变他们的头像,以接近所谓的“完美”标准”符合语境,故选G。 【29题详解】 根据上文“Just as appearances do not determine everything, avatars may have a greater impact on the formation of first impressions, but this effect fades as people learn more about each other. (就像外表不能决定一切一样,虚拟形象可能对第一印象的形成有更大的影响,但随着人们对彼此了解的加深,这种影响会逐渐消失。)”可知,本句与上文构成因果关系,指出不要夸大照片的重要性。故A选项“所以请不要在网上夸大照片的重要性”符合语境,故选A。 Part Ⅵ Vocabulary of Unit 4 (2’×14) Section Ⅰ: Choose the best word for each blank; each word can be used only once.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Picture a library without books? Unlike many people today, I don’t own a Kindle or any type of e-reader. I prefer the old-fashioned book. There is something about holding a book and being able to turn the pages that I find comforting. Today books may become obsolete. That’s something I find scary. I remember one episode (一段情节) from a TV science-fiction series Twilight Zone, which is about a librarian who has become obsolete. Though this episode aired in 1961, the writer of the series, Rod Serling, was exactly on point when it came to predicting the future. In fact, in San Antonio, Texas, the first-ever bookless library in the country opened. The library is full of iMacs, tablets and iPads which cost a huge $2.3 million. The library offers around 10,000 e-books. So the question is: Is this what the future will soon be? Digital libraries may help the environment by not using paper. However, I feel like something will always be lacking with a digital book. A digital library is just the beginning. With new technology, people seem to be more absorbed in their own world. Though social media is great, it also is addicting and has negative effects. Often when I go on Facebook it just makes me feel worse about myself. I’ll see many of my 800 Facebook friends showing off their newest accomplishment or acceptance to college. Additionally, our society is becoming increasingly lazy. For instance, instead of doing mental math, people use their phone to solve 89174. It is simple tasks like these that are allowing people to lack important educational and social skills. It is up to us to find a balance between technology and human values and interactions. With new technology being created every day, we need to learn how to use it alongside our great minds. After all, inventions are supposed to benefit society, not harm it. In the day of technology, who knows what’s next? 16. The underlined word “obsolete” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. outdated B. complex C. expensive D. meaningless 17. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. The episode still enjoys great popularity nowadays. B. Rod Serling liked making predictions about the future. C. The situation of books today is similar to what Rod Serling predicted in the episode. D. The episode aired in 1961 was the most entertaining of the TV science-fiction series. 18. What can we learn about the library in San Antonio, Texas? A. It is the first-ever library in America. B. It is of no practical use although it costs so much. C. It holds an exhibition of much electronic equipment. D People can read e-books there with the help of the new facilities. 19. Which of the following will the writer probably disagree with? ________ A. Great as social media is, it does have some negative effects. B. With the increasing use of social media, something will actually be lost. C. Through social media, people can develop educational and social skills around. D. As a result of social media people may communicate less with the people around. 20. The tone of the passage is best described as ________. A. optimistic B. skeptical C. supportive D. objective B Have you ever wished you could be better organized or more sociable? Perhaps you’re a constant worrier, and you’d prefer to be a little more carefree? Actually at least 2/3 of people would like to change some elements of their personality. In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One’s personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life. Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality. Their interventions (干预) typically involve recommending regular activities that reflect the personality traits(特征) people wish to adopt. Introverts who wish to be more outgoing, for example, might have the goal of introducing themselves to a stranger once a week, or making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Someone who wishes to be more organized and disciplined might be asked to carefully double-check an email before sending it, or to write a to-do list before going to bed. While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviors they produce to become habitual. And the evidence so far suggests it works remarkably well. In one 15-week trial of 400 people, participants accepted an average of two challenges each week. After they completed those tasks, their traits shifted in the desired direction, according to a personality questionnaire (调查问卷). The unexpected personality change should be good news for anyone who wishes they were a bit more sociable, organized, or happy-go-lucky. Another potential benefit is that awareness of this research could help improve mental health. People always believe negative feelings are just part of who they are, and there is little they can do to change them. But what if educating people about their potential for personality change could place them on a more positive track? To test this idea, Harvard professor of psychology, John Weisz, and his partner selected a group of 100 teenagers who had previously shown signs of anxiety or depression. They took a computerized course that explained the science of brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given worksheets to strengthen what they had learned. When Weisz checked in on the teens’ mental health nine months later, the students reported a significant decrease in their anxiety and depression compared with those who had instead taken part in a course on “emotional expression”. Whether you are struggling with serious issues or simply want to polish off your rougher edges, remember that character is within your own hands and you have the power to become what you want to be. 21. According to the passage, an old belief about personality is that ________. A. most people are satisfied with their personality B. sociable or organized people are more popular C. childhood has nothing to do with personality D. people can’t change their personality traits 22. In Nathan Hudson’s research, participants ________. A. became more aware of their mental health B. formed new thinking patterns and behaviors C. reported their completed tasks in the questionnaire D. were advised to work as cashiers in the supermarket 23. John Weisz’s study is mentioned to ________ Hudson’s research. A. question the result of B. make a comparison with C. explain the method used in D. show an additional benefit of 24. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. Mental Issues: More than Meets the Eye B. Personality: It Is Not Set in Stone C. Your Personality Shapes Your Future D. A Great Cure for Mental Problems Section Ⅱ Directions: select the best option from the seven options provided after the passage, based on the content of the text. Two of the options are extra. Avatars Tell a Lot Believe it or not, profile pictures can tell a lot about the person. Is he or she funny? Single or married? Plump or slim? Strangers can more or less get a clue of what kind of person you are from your avatar! Frankly speaking, profile picture is to social media what one’s appearance is to real life. Since your profile picture serve as the handiest source of what kind of person you are to strangers or people unfamiliar, it can leave a strong influence on how others think of you in the long term. ___25___ Furthermore, profile photo can partially decide how others trust you. Reports show that a photo of real person gains trust more easily than an image of a cartoon or something else. Sometimes profile pictures can mirror one’s inner feelings People who adopt cute pets and animation figures as their profile pictures are more likely to feel uneasy when handling daily trivia. ___26___Youngsters tease elder people about their old-fashioned profile photos — either landscape or plants. Obvious enough, post 90s people have more complex taste in choosing profile photos — some use portraits of their idols, some use Internet memes while others choose a popular dog to show they are single. Some even follow the pace of season to change their profile photos. Unavoidably, different tastes in profile photos render awkward dispute between children and parents. A netizen complained that her mom asked her to change the avatar in which she made a face and stuck out her tongue because Chinese traditional grim reapers do the same facial expression. Profile picture is believed to somehow reflect personality. A vote on the profile photos mostly used by playboys went viral on Sina Weibo in January 2018. Many Internet users gave positive backing to the result of the vote. Those who use selfies as profile pictures are more inclined to express themselves in public. ___27___ Though people of similar temper are very likely to appreciate similar style of profile photo, it is still closely relevant to individual preference. Is there anyone in your friend list who changes profile photos so frequently on social media that you can’t follow its pace? You have an eyeful of it and can’t help wondering: why did he/she change his/her avatar again? Frequent change of profile photos, or even a changeable style, is likely to be a sign of instable personality. Of course, changing profile photos frequently in a short term may indicate that your friend feels up and down during that time. ___28___ Just as appearances do not determine everything, avatars may have a greater impact on the formation of first impressions, but this effect fades as people learn more about each other. ___29___ In fact, people know from the bottom of their hearts that a profile photo can never alter the true image of a person that is mostly based on character and quality. A. So please do not overstate the importance of a photo online. B. Youngsters have better tastes in choosing profile pictures than elders. C. But it has an even greater influence on how others view you in the short term. D. Meanwhile, your profile picture is revealing your age without you noticing it. E. To be more specific, they are eager to build a positive self-image and reveal it to others. F. For example, a lonely silhouette makes others feel distant while a warm smile brings sincerity. G. However one exception is that some perfectionists change their profile pictures from time to time to approach the so-called “perfect” standard. Part Ⅵ Vocabulary of Unit 4 (2’×14) Section Ⅰ: Choose the best word for each blank; each word can be used only once.
