Seeing things from another person’s point of view can be difficult. That’s why we often argue with others. But what if there is a way to change this? Science has the answer to our problems! Scientists have found that reflecting (反思) on your values (价值观) before arguing with someone makes you more open-minded and therefore less likely to get angry at the other person. “By doing this you increase your openness to being wrong.” reported the Science website. Paul Hanel, a sociologist (社会学家) at the University of Essex, U.K., did this study. To test this, 300 student volunteers were put into small groups to debate (辩论) some topics. Then half of the group were asked to think of their 19 most important values, such as freedom (自由) and acceptance (接纳) of those who are different. While the other half reflected on what drinks they like. Then they had debates again. About 60 percent of the values group showed more openness than the drinks group. And 80 percent of the values group also showed more empathy (同理心). So next time you want to argue with your friends or parents, try this simple method — reflecting on your values before arguing with them! 31. Why do we often argue with others? A. Because it is hard to see things from others’ points of view. B. Because we are more open-minded to being wrong than others. C. Because we get angry more easily at others. 32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Seeing things from another person’s point of view. B. Thinking of your values before arguing with someone. C. Agreeing with others’ points of view with no reason. 33. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the method of reflecting on one’s values before arguing with others? A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Neutral (中立的). B Tom lived in a poor village and he hated rats in his house. His mother had told him how rats brought disease wherever they went. His father brought iron cages and placed them in each corner of their house. Tom’s mother made some biscuits which were broken into pieces and placed in each cage. However, not a single rat was caught in this way. Tom read somewhere that rats loved cheese but it was expensive in his country. However, the rat problem in his house became worse day by day. Rats came and went at will in the house. One evening Tom was having dinner in his room. As Tom lifted his face to catch the breeze (微风), he saw a strange sight. A big, blackish brown rat jumped onto the windowsill (窗台) and dropped quickly into his room. Tom held his breath. The rat hid itself behind a sofa. Tom jumped onto his bed and shouted for his mother. His mother simply took a broom and reached behind the sofa. The rat jumped onto the sofa and from there onto the windowsill. Before Tom could say anything, the rat disappeared into the darkness outside the window. From then on, Tom’s mother told him to keep the window shut in the evenings. Finally, a family meeting was held to discuss the problem. It was decided that a cat should be needed for the house. Soon a cat was bought and the rat problem was solved easily. 34. The underlined word “disease” in the passage probably means ______. A. a thing that makes you successful B. a person who worries a lot C. an illness often caused by infection 35. According to Tom, in order to catch rats, ______. A. iron cages should be hidden in the corner of their house B. biscuits in each cage shouldn’t be broken into pieces C. cheese should be put in the cages 36. When Tom saw the rat drop into the room, he was ______. A. scared B. excited C. brave 37. What can we learn from the story? A. All things are difficult before they are easy. B. Everybody’s business is nobody’s business. C. There are two sides to every question. C Have you ever unlocked (开锁) a shared bike? Have you ever ordered a meal online? Have you ever enjoyed watching the short-form videos on the Internet? Well, if no one had invented the cell phone, none of these would have been possible. Luckily, someone did invent the cell phone. That person is Martin Cooper, and he did that 50 years ago, in 1973. Cooper used to work for Motorola. In the 1970s, the company was competing with AT&T, a larger company, to make a cell phone system. Cooper didn’t think Motorola’s product was good enough. He didn’t like AT&T’s idea of a car phone (车载电话) either. The man had a new idea. He wanted to make it possible for people to talk on their phones anywhere. It took Cooper and his team 90 days to design the world’s first cell phone. The product was called Dyna TAC. People could talk on it for 25 minutes before its battery (电池) died. The phone’s short battery life wasn’t a big problem, Cooper once joked. Why? Well, the phone was too heavy (1,100 grams) to hold in hand for more than 25 minutes! On 3 April, 1973, Cooper made the world’s first public cell phone call. He called Joel Engel, an AT&T manager. Cooper told Engel, “I’m calling you on a cell phone. It’s a real, handheld cell phone.” On the other end of the line, there was only silence. Cell phones have changed a lot since that first call. They’re much smaller and can do many more things. Cooper, now 94, is surprised at the progress. But the man has also kept thinking about life in the future. “Keep learning all your life,” he says, “or you’ll lose the ability to learn — that would be terrible!” 38. Why does the author raise three questions in the first paragraph? A. To list the usages of cell phones. B. To show the importance of cell phones. C. To do a survey about what people use their cell phones for. 39. What was the big problem Cooper needed to solve according to Paragraph 4? A. The usages of the cell phone. B. The battery life of the cell phone. C. The weight of the cell phone. 40. What was Cooper’s new idea according to Paragraph 3? A. Making a new car phone for AT&T. B. Making a new car phone for Motorola. C. Making a new phone for people to use anywhere. 41. Why did Engel keep silent when Cooper called him by using the cell phone? A. Because Engel couldn’t hear clearly on the line. B. Because Cooper invented the cell phone before AT&T could. C. Because Cooper didn’t make the cell phone better. D Summer in Japan can be difficult. Temperatures often go above 30℃, and it’s also very wet. Of course, many buildings have air conditioners (空调), but people do need to go outside sometimes. So how do Japanese people stay cool? While some use traditional fans, these days it’s common to see people carrying small hand-held electric fans to keep themselves cool. One company has even made work jackets with electric fans inside to keep the wearer cool. And now another Japanese company has created an air conditioner that you can just wear around your waist (腰). The “WearCool”, which was created by the company Gloture, is a belt that uses five small fans to blow cool air up the front and back of your body at up to 5 meters a second. The inside of the belt is also made of a material that absorbs (吸收) heat, so it’s comfortable to wear. The belt can be adjusted (调节) for different waist sizes too. And while Gloture’s pictures show models wearing the belt like a fashion accessory (配饰), you can actually wear it under your clothes. WearCool comes with a powerful battery that lets it be used without stopping for up to 17 hours, the company says. And by using an app — which can be used in English or Japanese — you can adjust both the speed and the direction of the air flow. WearCool is now available from Gloture’s online store and costs around $230. But will it become as popular as those hand-held electric fans? 42. How many ways to keep cool are mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. 43. Which of the following is TRUE about WearCool? A. It’s already on sale now. B. It looks like a jacket. C. It can be only worn under the clothes. 44. What is the writer’s attitude toward the popularity of WearCool? A. Negative. B. Confident. C. Uncertain. 45. What’s the best title for the passage? A. An air conditioner that looks like a belt B. Different air conditioners in Japan C. The fashion accessory for models 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 When you leave school and suddenly the sweet smell of flowers greets your nose, you know spring is knocking at the door. 46 Trees turn green. Flowers come out everywhere. Animals show up in the field. Most countries have their own traditions to celebrate the coming of this beautiful season. Chinese people often eat spring pancakes on the day of Feb. 4th. This tradition means “bite the spring (咬春)” in Chinese. In the past, people thought eating spring pancakes on this day would lead to a good harvest. 47 In Japan, families and friends celebrate spring by enjoying cherry blossoms (樱花). People usually go to parks. It is a traditional custom — “hanami”. 48 Hanami usually lasts from late March to early May. People hold parties or picnics under the great cherry trees. Food, drink and even dancing are all parts of “hanami”. In the US, a groundhog (土拨鼠) helps to tell the coming of spring. 49 It’s said that if a groundhog sees his shadow (影子) when he comes out of his home, there may be six more weeks of winter. If there’s no shadow, spring is on the way! 50 They are only correct 39 percent of the time, according to National Climate Date Center of the US. A. Spring is a time for new life. B. It means “watching flowers”. C. But the groundhog isn’t always right. D. Today, it is common to eat them in many restaurants. E. Today, people don’t often go to parks to watch flowers. F. There’s even a special day, Groundhog Day, on every Feb. 2nd. 四、语言运用（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 India is a land of festivals.

An article published (发表) by The Journal of Earth Science does so. It says ______________________________________. The researchers figured out the total weight of the buildings in the city. It’s about 762 billion kilograms. This weight is too much for the city’s soil to support. It has led to the city sinking at a rate of 1 to 2 millimetres every year, according to CNN. While 1 to 2 millimetres may not sound like much, parts of New York City stand just 1 metre above sea level. If the sinking continues, the seawater will be rolling down its streets at high tide within tens of years. Besides heavy buildings, climate change is another big reason for the city’s sinking. According to The Guardian, climate change has caused the water around New York City to rise by 22 centimetres since 1950. By the end of the century, flooding from storms could be up to four times more often. New York isn’t the only city in the world that may soon be underwater. The World Economic Forum lists several cities that may disappear by the year 2100. They include Jakarta in Indonesia, Venice in Italy and Bangkok in Thailand. 71.

What are the reasons for New York City’s sinking? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 73. How much has the water around New York City risen because of climate change since 1950? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 74.
