B Rob Kennedy was with other people in a community space.The room was decorated with an under- the-sea theme. Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed()with Alzheimer's disease.Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme.They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone's minds working 四川·高二英语第3页（共8页） "We start out just like that,many of us cannot answer any of the questions,"Kennedy said with a laugh."We all have a good time going around,he added."You know,we all try to make it fun. This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country.These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment(认知缺陷)and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run-一often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. The memory cafes happen twice a month.They have given him purpose,Kennedy said,and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. "I came in and I was miserable,"Kennedy said."I come in now and it's like a family,an extended family.I get to meet them.I get to meet their partners.I get to meet their children.So,it's really nice.” More than six million people in the U.S.have been diagnosed with some form of dementia(). The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships,particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers. The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment,like adult day care.Memory cafes don't offer formal treatment or support.At a memory cafe,having fun together and being social is the support for both patients and their caregivers. 24.What is the atmosphere in the memory cafe like?

B.Caregivers can attend the gatherings C.People in these cafes have more fun. D.They focus on formal mental support. C When Alice from Alice in Wonderland consumes a mysterious bottle labeled "drink me",she quickly shrinks()to the floor.The Magic School Bus once got attacked by white blood cells when it shrunk down to explore a sick person's bloodstream.And Ant-Man is famous for using his shrinking technology in Marvel films.But will humans ever be able to become smaller like this in real life? Unfortunately,physicists say that technology with the power to make someone bite-sized would break the laws of physics.Still,scientists have fun thinking over how an imaginary shrinking machine might work."It drives you to think about:What determines the size of things?"says physicist James Kakalios.Finding the answer can involve looking into the hearts of atoms(). Atoms are the building blocks of almost all matter in the universe.One theoretical way to shrink something would be to reduce the size of its atoms.But an atom's size depends on several fundamental constants().Those constants don't change. If shrinking atoms wouldn't work,what about shortening the space between them?Atoms come together to build all kinds of molecules().Atoms and molecules in the human body,though,are already packed closely together.Trying to get them even closer would be challenging. 四川·高二英语第4页（共8页） You could try to force the atoms together.But Kakalios says that even a tiny reduction in size would require enormous amounts of pressure.That would be bad news for any person who tried it on themselves.Kakalios says,"It would just flatten you,and you don't want to do that. Even if Alice or Ant-Man were somehow able to bypass the laws of physics to survive shrinkage, they would face other problems.For example,as their eyes shrunk,their ability to process visible wavelengths of light might become worse. Kakalios also notes that the science of making things smaller is not entirely imaginary.Although technology may not be able to shrink people,humans are remarkably good at shrinking our technology. 28.How does the author bring in the topic? A.By telling real life stories. B.By imagining our future life C.By introducing the background. D.By describing scenes from some works. 29.What might scientists think of the technology of shrinking a person? A.Illegal. B.Inhuman. C.Imperfect. D.Impractical. 30.Which statement might Kakalios agree with? A.The atom's size is changeable. B.The atoms and the molecules link tightly C.Narrowing the space between atoms is easy. D.The science of making objects smaller is impossible. 31.What can be the best title for the text? A.What Is Behind the Technology of Shrinking? B.How Is the Shrinking Technology Being Used? C.Should We Describe Shrinking Technology in Literature? D.Could We Ever Develop the Technology to Shrink Ourselves? ◇ Chicago Booth's Christopher K.Hsee is a behavioral scientist focusing on what he calls hedonomics (幸福经济学).Rather than studying how to produce more“stuff'',hedonomics studies how to extract more happiness from the existing objects. Hsee and his Chicago Booth colleague Reid Hastie redefined the term in 2008.Their idea of hedonomics is based on the idea that people don't need more resources to be happier;they need to use existing resources differently. For example,suppose a child enjoys playing with wooden blocks at first but grows tired of them. Hedonomics suggests the child doesn't need more blocks to be happy;she needs to change how she plays with those blocks. The same principle applies to experiences.Instead of watching a TV show without control,watch two episodes()per day.Or better yet,apply another method:say you have six episodes to watch. You could watch two a day,or you could watch one on the first day,two on the second day,and three on the third day.That's an increasing order.Or you could do the opposite,in a decreasing order,by watching three at the start and winding down. Instead of making full use of their resources,many people instead seek to add resources.Hsee, who has devoted much of the past decade to researching hedonomics,says that can have the opposite effect and lead to a phenomenon known as the“hedonic treadmill(享乐跑步机)”.This phrase refers to the tendency of people enjoying happiness temporarily and keeping on finding new positive stimulation. Hsee,who grew up in China,recalls when "just having the ability to buy a cheap bicycle"in his city was a big deal.But by 2012 in China,nearly every family in cities had,on average,a color TV, 四川·高二英语第5页（共8页） air conditioner,washing machine,and refrigerator.Almost nine in ten had a personal computer.Hsee sees his friends,some now able to afford expensive cars,stuck on the hedonic treadmill as they seek to get more well-being.The problem is that it takes more and more things to make people happy. 32.What is the meaning of hedonomics? A.Following your ideas. B.Producing more resources. C.Pursuing what you want. D.Treasuring what you have. 33.What does the underlined part "winding down"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Watching closely. B.Reducing gradually. C.Observing carefully. D.Checking regularly. 34.What do people do when they are on the hedonic treadmill? A.They try to get more. B.They use resources wisely. C.They tend to be more positive. D.They lack material enjoyment. 35.What does the author truly want to convey in the last paragraph? A.People are content with their income. B.China's economy is developing fast. C.One's desires can hardly be satisfied. D.It's impossible to achieve real happiness. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like us,plants drink water to stay healthy-not too little,but not too much!When is the best time to water your plants?Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground,the general rule is that plants need I inch of water per week. 36 That doesn't usually do the job.Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain.If the plants are little,water them twice a day until established. 37 Feel your soil!When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball,it is wet enough.But,if it rarely holds together in your hand,or if the surface looks hard,or cracked,it is probably dry,and it's time to water.38 If so,that suggests it needs water. It's best to water early in the day while the dew()is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening.However,if you cannot water in the morning,watering in the evening is fine,too.39 Believe it or not,sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water.The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration()down to 5 or 6 inches.40 Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A.That is the best time to water plants. B.But don't just water without thinking. C.After all,water is necessary to every plant. D.See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E.Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F.However,this does not mean watering one time per week. G.If you wait another day to water,you will be adding only surface water. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As an adult,making new friends can often feel complicated().But Tallulah shows us that there are more opportunities to develop 41 than we think.You can make positive connections in the most 42 ways! 四川·高二英语第6页（共8页） One day 8-year-old Tallulah wrote a thank-you card to Joseph,the driver who 43 parcels to her house each week,and drew a rainbow on it.When she and her mother went to give her 44 to the man,Tallulah learned that he was deaf.This 45 the girl to learn sign language so she could talk to the man.At first,they 46 through hand-drawn cards.Every morning since then,the delivery driver has 47 displayed the rainbow drawing in his delivery car.

It was Wednesday,the day he regularly arrived after work.The apartment building was home to two old ladies.They couldn't walk out and lived week by week,waiting for David's visits.They told him that people were angry at the world because of the storm.They told him how much they missed the sound and laughter of children playing in the street.They hoped that scene came back someday soon. Cleaning up after a hurricane took time.It was more than pumping out the water and cleaning out the mud.It was more than replacing dirty carpets and furniture.It was about bringing back hope,faith and care for each other.David knew this so well that he spent his life helping people suffering in storms. That was why he drove to the apartment building every Wednesday to deliver food,a smile and hope to those lonely people.
