But as the weather gets colder,she has become lazier. She has bought a mist spray（免洗喷雾）, which allows her to wash her hair less often. “I would like to have a product that could save me the trouble of putting on make-up,” she told Orient Today, a newspaper office of Henan Television. She is not the only young Chinese who spends money because she’s “lazy”. According to a report of December by Taobao on China’s “lazy economy（经济）”, Chinese people spent 16 billion yuan on products and services online in 2018. The post-1995 generation was the “laziest” as its consumption（消费）increased by 82 percent, compared with that in 2017. The “lazy economy” refers to a new type of consumption which helps to save time and effort. According to the report, many people of the post-1995 buy high-tech electronic products such as floor sweeping robots and automatic window cleaners, which save the trouble of doing housework. Meanwhile, take-out food delivery（传递）services are also popular among people born after 1995. Young people are willing to spend money on such products because they want to enjoy the valuable spare time after a busy day at work or school, reported Global Times. Because they need to focus on their studies or jobs, these so-called lazy people want to use their own time better. For example,Wei Duo, a 21-year-old college student, is an active user of take-out food delivery services. “I once had a birthday cake sent to my friend who lives far from my home. It cost me 50 yuan but it saved me almost half a day that would have been needed to do it myself. My friend was also happy because she got to eat the cake in no time,” Wei told the Global Times. While the “lazy economy” might be convenient for young people, it might also create problems. People buy food or other things without leaving home. As a result, they stay at home all day long, playing on computers and smart-phones. According to Jinan Daily, this situation could develop problems of communicating with others. “The lazy economy is a choice of lifestyle. The saved time should be used to do valuable things.” commented（评论）Orient Today. 26. How many newspaper offices are talked about in this article? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 27. Why does the writer uses “so-called” to describe “lazy people”? A. They are busy at work or school. B. Those people are living in a lazy way. C. The lazy economy helps do much interesting things. D. In the writer’s opinion, he doesn’t really consider them to be lazy. 28. The example of Wei Duo tells us ________. A. he wants to use his time better B. he cares about his friend very much C. the delivery service is fast and helpful D. a new way of sending presents to our friends 29. Which of the following can be used as the title? A. Post-1995, the laziest generation B. Lazy, or do we just want to save time? C. How to live in a lazy lifestyle D. Ways of enjoying the valuable spare time 【答案】26. B 27. D 28. A 29. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文，文章讲述“懒人经济”的产生原因，这些所谓的懒人其实只是为了更好地利用自己的时间，能帮助节约时间和精力，但是也产生了一些问题，不利于人的交流。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Orient Today”，“Global Times”及“ Jinan Daily”可知文章共提到三种报纸机构。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Because they need to focus on their studies or jobs”及“want to use their own time better”因为他们需要专注于他们的学习或工作，想更好地利用自己的时间，可知作者认为这些人不是真的很懒。故选D。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“want to use their own time better”这些所谓的懒人想更好地使用自己的时间；根据“it saved me almost half a day that would have been needed to do it myself. My friend was also happy because she got to eat the cake in no time”花钱请人把蛋糕送给我朋友比自己做蛋糕要节省几乎半天时间，我的朋友也很开心因为她可以马上吃到蛋糕。可知举例是为了告诉我们他想更好地利用自己的时间。故选A。 【29题详解】 标题概括题。文章讲述“懒人经济”的产生原因，这些所谓的懒人其实只是为了更好地利用自己的时间，能帮助节约时间和精力，但是也产生了一些问题，不利于人的交流。B选项“Lazy, or do we just want to save time懒惰或者我们只是想节约时间”能概括文章大意，可作为标题。故选B。 (B) A mindset is the way of thinking.Your mindset can affect almost every part of your daily life. Dr. Carol Dweck, a scientist who studies how the mind works, has discovered that people with a fixed (固定的) mindset deal with problems in a different way from those with growth mindset. Imagine that two students, Anna and Amy, are taking a really hard math test in September. Anna has a fixed mindset, everything is easy for you. Amy has a growth mindset, which means she believes that your intelligence can grow. Not everyone can become a genius, but they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones. So which is right? It’s Amy. Believe it or not, research shows that you really can get smarter by working hard, practicing, and challenging yourself. As you know, your brain is made up of billions of neurons (神经元). They are all connected and send messages to each other. Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger. But if connections aren’t used, they will break down. So, learning is like exercise for your brain. The more you work it out, the stronger and smarter your network of neurons will become. According to Dr. Carol Dweck’s studies, people with a fixed mindset worry about grades. They’re afraid of looking stupid when they make mistakes. People with a growth mindset care about learning not grades. They learn from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems. They ask for help when necessary. In only two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If they make mistakes, they just try again. Dweck’s team also discovered that, with some work, kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do better in school. The trick is to notice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it’s not true. You just have not learned how to do something yet. 30. Which of the following is TRUE about neurons? A. Learning is not always helpful to them. B. All of them are connected to each other. C. They only make new connections when we study. D. The connections among them will never break down. 31. What might a man with a growth mindset agree about? A. I will look foolish when I make mistakes in study. B. If you are smart enough, you can do everything easily. C. The mindset plays the most important role in people ‘s life. D. Everyone can get smarter by working hard and practicing more. 32. The writer gives the example of babies in Paragraph 5 to show that babies ________. A. learn new skills from mistakes B. easily make mistakes in daily life C. learn skills faster than older people D. have fewer worries than older people 33. How did the writer develop his main idea? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling true stories. C. By comparing the differences. D. By showing reasons and results. 【答案】30. C 31. D 32. A 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了心态的重要性。 【30题详解】 细节判断题。根据“Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger. But if connections aren’t used, they will break down.”可知，当我们学习时，神经元会产生新的连接，而旧的连接会变得更强。但如果不使用连接，它们就会崩溃。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Dweck’s team also discovered that, with some work, kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do better in school. The trick is to notice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it’s not true. You just have not learned how to do something yet.”可知， 一个有成长心态的人会认为每个人都可以通过努力工作和多练习变得更聪明。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In only two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If they make mistakes, they just try again.”可知婴儿从错误中学习新技能。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Imagine that two students, Anna and Amy, are taking a really hard math test in September. Anna has a fixed mindset, everything is easy for you. Amy has a growth mindset, which means she believes that your intelligence can grow.”可知，作者通过比较差异来阐述自己的观点。故选C。 (C) When Singaporean Tong Weiqiang watched Hong Kong Wuxia dramas more than 10 years ago, he was impressed by the exciting plots and the traditional clothes.

Everything has a beginning, a middle and an end. We eat three meals a day. Traffic lights all over the world use three colors: red, yellow and green. Things can always become more satisfying to readers if they come in threes. Have you ever noticed how powerful brands use the rule of three to improve their marketing? For example, “Just do it ”, “I’m loving it ” and “Coke is it ”, ____42____ But what is it about the number three that makes it so magical? Well, we know that the human brain is very hard to be understood. However, it enjoys thinking in patterns (规律). It is always trying to find structure in unrelated information. ____43____ And three is the smallest number needed to form a pattern. As the old saying goes, “Once is luck, twice is coincidence(巧合) and three times is a pattern.” ____44____ The audience will usually only remember three things from a speech. Do you want something in your speech to stick in your audiences’minds?Put it forward to them in groups of three.

Experts, however, suggest they should limit themselves to just three tasks. ____45____ And the next time you are making New Year’s resolutions, consider listing only three things to work on. The longer your list is, the less likely you are to keep it! A. These top three tasks should be hard enough to be challenging. B. In some ways, “three” is a number that has magical powers. C.

But as the weather gets colder,she has become lazier. She has bought a mist spray（免洗喷雾）, which allows her to wash her hair less often. “I would like to have a product that could save me the trouble of putting on make-up,” she told Orient Today, a newspaper office of Henan Television. She is not the only young Chinese who spends money because she’s “lazy”. According to a report of December by Taobao on China’s “lazy economy（经济）”, Chinese people spent 16 billion yuan on products and services online in 2018. The post-1995 generation was the “laziest” as its consumption（消费）increased by 82 percent, compared with that in 2017. The “lazy economy” refers to a new type of consumption which helps to save time and effort According to the report, many people of the post-1995 buy high-tech electronic products such as floor sweeping robots and automatic window cleaners, which save the trouble of doing housework. Meanwhile, take-out food delivery（传递）services are also popular among people born after 1995. Young people are willing to spend money on such products because they want to enjoy the valuable spare time after a busy day at work or school, reported Global Times. Because they need to focus on their studies or jobs, these so-called lazy people want to use their own time better. For example,Wei Duo, a 21-year-old college student, is an active user of take-out food delivery services. “I once had a birthday cake sent to my friend who lives far from my home. It cost me 50 yuan but it saved me almost half a day that would have been needed to do it myself. My friend was also happy because she got to eat the cake in no time,” Wei told the Global Times. While the “lazy economy” might be convenient for young people, it might also create problems. People buy food or other things without leaving home. As a result, they stay at home all day long, playing on computers and smart-phones. According to Jinan Daily, this situation could develop problems of communicating with others. “The lazy economy is a choice of lifestyle. The saved time should be used to do valuable things.” commented（评论）Orient Today. 26. How many newspaper offices are talked about in this article? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 27. Why does the writer uses “so-called” to describe “lazy people”? A. They are busy at work or school. B Those people are living in a lazy way. C. The lazy economy helps do much interesting things. D. In the writer’s opinion, he doesn’t really consider them to be lazy. 28. The example of Wei Duo tells us ________. A. he wants to use his time better B. he cares about his friend very much C. the delivery service is fast and helpful D. a new way of sending presents to our friends 29. Which of the following can be used as the title? A. Post-1995, the laziest generation B. Lazy, or do we just want to save time? C. How to live in a lazy lifestyle D. Ways of enjoying the valuable spare time (B) A mindset is the way of thinking.Your mindset can affect almost every part of your daily life. Dr. Carol Dweck, a scientist who studies how the mind works, has discovered that people with a fixed (固定的) mindset deal with problems in a different way from those with growth mindset. Imagine that two students, Anna and Amy, are taking a really hard math test in September. Anna has a fixed mindset, everything is easy for you. Amy has a growth mindset, which means she believes that your intelligence can grow. Not everyone can become a genius, but they can improve the skills they have and develop new ones. So which is right? It’s Amy. Believe it or not, research shows that you really can get smarter by working hard, practicing, and challenging yourself. As you know, your brain is made up of billions of neurons (神经元). They are all connected and send messages to each other. Scientists have found that when we learn, neurons make new connections and old connections grow stronger. But if connections aren’t used, they will break down. So, learning is like exercise for your brain. The more you work it out, the stronger and smarter your network of neurons will become. According to Dr. Carol Dweck’s studies, people with a fixed mindset worry about grades. They’re afraid of looking stupid when they make mistakes. People with a growth mindset care about learning not grades. They learn from their mistakes and try to find different ways of solving problems. They ask for help when necessary. In only two years, babies learn to walk, talk and feed themselves. They never worry about looking stupid when learning. If they make mistakes, they just try again. Dweck’s team also discovered that, with some work, kids can choose to have a growth mindset. They can do better in school. The trick is to notice what mindset you have. If you ever think yourself stupid, it’s not true. You just have not learned how to do something yet. 30. Which of the following is TRUE about neurons? A. Learning is not always helpful to them. B. All of them are connected to each other. C. They only make new connections when we study. D. The connections among them will never break down. 31. What might a man with a growth mindset agree about? A. I will look foolish when I make mistakes in study. B. If you are smart enough, you can do everything easily. C. The mindset plays the most important role in people ‘s life. D. Everyone can get smarter by working hard and practicing more. 32. The writer gives the example of babies in Paragraph 5 to show that babies ________. A. learn new skills from mistakes B. easily make mistakes in daily life C. learn skills faster than older people D. have fewer worries than older people 33. How did the writer develop his main idea?

For example, “Just do it ”, “I’m loving it ” and “Coke is it ”, ____42____ But what is it about the number three that makes it so magical? Well, we know that the human brain is very hard to be understood. However, it enjoys thinking in patterns (规律).
