Luckily, here are some of the best adventure books. Click on the book name for detailed information. Jaws by Peter Benchley The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg’s hit movie — which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975. Jaw s is the story of three men’s search to kill a human-eating great white shark. It’s a high-risky adventure on the sea, which holds more dangers than anyone could have ever imagined. Children of the Comet by Donald Moffitt In the far future, a small community lives in space and harvests frozen air to make a living. But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets (彗星) — and humans on spaceships — appear on the scene? This is a great adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice. Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle. Named Tarzan, the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts: the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans. In the animal kingdom, Tarzan shows his survival skills and strength as he competes with powerful predators (猎食动物). However, Tarzan’s greatest test lies in his interaction with humans. As he encounters explorers and settlers in the African jungle, he must deal with the complexities of human society. Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker This book tells the story of a female Utahraptor named Red and her struggles for survival in the prehistoric dinosaur-eat-dinosaur world. Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told from the third-person point of view. The author expertly draws upon heartfelt research about the Cretaceous Period (白垩纪) to bring a prehistoric Earth to life. 36. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. The movie Jaws caused a significant decline in beach attendance in 1974. B. Jaws is a story about three women trying to kill a man-eating shark. C. The movie Jaws was adapted from a novel published in 1974. D. Jaws is an adventure film about hunting wild animals in the jungle. 37. A fan of space exploration might be interested in ______ A. Jaws B. Children of the Comet C. Tarzan of the Apes D. Raptor Red 38. According to the book Tarzan of the Apes, what is the greatest challenge to Tarzan? A. Apes in the African jungle. B.

It is written in the third-person. D. It is about the earth’s history. 40. Where is the text most likely to be found? A. On a website. B. On a poster. C. In a newspaper. D. In a novel. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要给读者介绍一些最好的冒险书。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据Jaws by Peter Benchley中的“The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg’s hit movie — which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975.”（1974年出版的小说启发了史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的热门电影，这部电影导致1975年海滩游客人数大幅下降。）可以推断出选项C（电影《大白鲨》改编自1974年出版的一本小说）正确；选项A的时间有误，电影导致海滩游客减少发生在1975年；选项B中的“three women”与原文不符，原文说的是“three men's”；选项D描述的冒险地点和目标与原文不符，原文描述的是在海上猎杀大白鲨的冒险，而非在丛林中猎杀野生动物。故选C项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二本书Children of the Comet的介绍“This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice.”(从字面上来说，这是一次宇宙冒险，因为我们的主人翁Torris试图在一颗完全由冰组成的彗星上生存)可知，喜欢太空探索的人会对Children of the Comet这本书感兴趣。故选B项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs中的“However, Tarzan’s greatest test lies in his interaction with humans.”（然而，塔兰最大的考验在于他与人类的互动。）可知，塔兰面临的最大挑战是来自人类的威胁,选项D（威胁的人类）正确,选项A（非洲丛林中的猿猴）、B（凶猛的动物）和 C（强大的捕食者）虽然也是塔兰面临的挑战，但根据原文描述，它们都不是他面临的最大挑战。故选D项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一本书Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker的介绍“Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told entirely from the third-person point of view of Raptor Red, a female Utahraptor.”（不像这里介绍的其他的书，Raptor Red完全是从第三人称——一只雌性犹他恐龙的角度来讲述的）可知，这本书的特别之处在于它是由书中的角色讲述的。故选C项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Click on the book name for detailed information.(点击这本书的名字以获得详细信息)”可知，这篇文章很有可能来自网络。故选A项。 B I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. You are wanted to join my next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition.” It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before Facebook, surfing the internet was an occasional distraction(分心的事) and I spent a lot more time reading books. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I started taking yoga classes again. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. I managed to use it reasonably. 41. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The challenge. B. The message. C. The exercise. D. The nutrition. 42. What can we know from the second paragraph? A. The author’s son liked the photo posted on the Facebook. B. The author spent much time surfing the internet before Facebook. C. Facebook shifted the author’s focus away from reading books. D. The son’s question made the author know the importance of acceptance. 43. What did the author do to change her life? A. She traveled around a lot for a year. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She tried to help her friends on vacations. D. She went to the gym as often as she could. 44. What did the author think of the break from Facebook? A. It gave her time to find beauty in life. B. It distanced her from her friends. C. It prevented her from getting updates. D. It stopped her using social media completely. 45. In the author’s opinion, what attitude should people adopt on using social media? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. B 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过亲身经历，展示了社交媒体对人们生活的潜在影响，并呼吁人们以更谨慎和理性的态度使用社交媒体。 【41题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. You are wanted to join my next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition.”(我在Facebook上收到了一条私信。开头是无害的：“嘿，姑娘。你想加入我的下一个挑战小组——我们将专注于30分钟的锻炼和均衡的营养。”)” 可知，这里的“it”是指前文提到的作者收到的那条消息，因为它开始引发了一系列关于Facebook对作者生活的影响的思考。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“ Before Facebook, surfing the internet was an occasional distraction (分心的事) and I spent a lot more time reading books. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.(在Facebook出现之前，上网只是偶尔让我分心，我把更多的时间花在读书上。我通过短信、电子邮件和电话与朋友联系。)”可知，在Facebook之前，上网只是偶尔的分心事情，作者花更多的时间在阅读书籍上。但Facebook让作者的注意力从阅读转移了，说明Facebook改变了作者的生活方式，让她从阅读转向了社交媒体。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I started taking yoga classes again.(为了重现那些日子的简单，也为了给儿子树立一个更健康的榜样，我关闭了自己的Facebook账户。我已经养成了每天多次查看Facebook的习惯，所以我必须养成一些新的习惯。我随身带着一本小说和一本填字游戏书。我又开始上瑜伽课了。)”可知，作者在第三段中提到，为了恢复简单的生活和为儿子树立健康的榜样，她关闭了Facebook账户，并培养了一些新的习惯，如带小说和填字游戏书在身边，重新开始上瑜伽课。这些行为都是为了形成更健康的生活习惯。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.(当我遇到困难时，我有朋友会帮助我，我也会帮助他们。我尽我最大的努力做一个好母亲，我们的儿子快乐健康。我们很幸运，一年能出得起两次假。我不再通过手机看世界。我觉得自己完全活在当下。这次休息让我对自己、我的家人、我的家和我的生活感觉更好。)”可知，作者描述了离开Facebook后，她重新认识到自己身体的美好，朋友间的互助，作为母亲的尽责，以及每年两次度假的幸运。她停止通过手机看世界，完全沉浸在当下的生活中。这些描述表明作者认为这段时间让她有更多的时间去发现生活中的美好。故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. I managed to use it reasonably.(现在，我看着朋友们孩子成长的照片，珍惜社交媒体如何让我与远方的家人保持联系。我每天都在看，但不再有不断更新的欲望。它不再是一种瘾了。我设法合理地使用它。)”可知，作者提到她现在每天查看社交媒体，但不再渴望频繁地发布更新，说明她已经学会了合理地使用社交媒体，不再依赖或沉迷其中。这表明作者认为人们应该谨慎地使用社交媒体。故选C。 C Richard is a very a successful businessman. It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop. He wasn’t aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning, which was a sort of alarm. And then what happened? He had a week’s leave during which time he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach, which has enabled Richard to return to work again. In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.” We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax — this has become the model of a successful life. Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom. How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week — for followers of some religions — for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world. Rest is s spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow. 46. What’s the function of the paragraph 1? A. To tell us that Richard lives a healthy life. B. To bring up the topic of the passage. C. To give us a brief introduction of Richard D. To tell Richard is a successful businessman. 47. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “_______”. A. a signal of stress B. a warning of danger C. a sign of age D. a spread of disease 48. According to Paragraph 3, a successful person is one who is believed to _______. A. be able to work without stress B. be more talented than other people C. be more important than anyone else D. be busying working without time to rest 49. According to the passage during the Sabbath, what we should do except _____. A. Praying for our family. B. Taking a good break. C. Only working for two hours. D. Enjoying delicious meal. 50. What is the main idea of this passage? A. We should balance work with rest. B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest. C. It is silly for anyone to say “I am busy.” D. We should be available to our family and friends. 【答案】46. B 47. B 48. D 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了在现代生活中，我们已经失去了工作与休息之间的节奏，没有意识到休息是精神上和心理上的需要，我们应该平衡生活和休息，不会休息的人就不会工作。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“Richard is a very a successful businessman. It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop. He wasn’t aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning, which was a sort of alarm. And then what happened? He had a week’s leave during which time he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach, which has enabled Richard to return to work again. (理查德是一位非常成功的商人。他经常不停地努力工作。直到有一天早上睡过头，他才意识到自己可能会精疲力竭或早逝，这是一种警钟。然后发生了什么？他请了一周假，其间他读小说、听音乐，并和妻子在海滩上散步，这使理查德得以再次回到工作岗位)”可知，第一段讲述了一个成功的商人理查德不间断地工作直到累到早晨没有按时醒来，才意识到自己的问题，于是离开工作去休假，结合第二段中的“In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. (在现代生活中，我们已经失去了行动和休息之间的节奏)”提出了本文的主题：人们只工作，不会休息，因此推断第一段的作用是引出文章的话题。故选B项。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。由第一段中的“He wasn’t aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning, which was a sort of alarm. And then what happened? He had a week’s leave during which time he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach, which has enabled Richard to return to work again. (直到有一天早上睡过头，他才意识到自己可能会精疲力竭或早逝，这是一种alarm。然后发生了什么？他请了一周假，其间他读小说、听音乐，并和妻子在海滩上散步，这使理查德得以再次回到工作岗位)”可知，理查德没有意识到自己会疲惫，或者会早逝，直到有一天睡过了头，which指代上文的内容，因此推断这次睡过头是一个危险的警告，提醒了理查德应该去休假，alarm指的是“危险的警告”。故选B项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax — this has become the model of a successful life. (我们越忙，我们自己看来似乎我们就越重要，我们认为，对别人也一样。没有时间陪朋友和家人，没有时间放松——这已经成为成功生活的典范)”可知，一个成功的人被认为是一个忙于工作没时间休息的人。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。由倒徵第二段中的“It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world. (这是一个我们不应该工作的日子，一个我们全神贯注于享受和庆祝美好事物的日子。这是一个祝福我们的孩子和亲人、感恩、分享食物、散步和睡觉的好时机。这是我们休息的时候，把我们的工作放在一边，相信有更大的力量在工作，照顾世界)”可知，在休息日，我们应该为家人祈祷，好好休息，享受美食，不应该工作，C项“只工作两小时”不应该做。故选C项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。由第四段“Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing is with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom. (因为我们不休息，我们就会迷失方向。我们想念导游告诉我们该去哪里，食物给我们力量，安静给我们智慧)”和最后一段中的“Rest is s spiritual and biological need (休息是精神和生理上的需要)”及“In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow. (事实上，“记住安息日”不仅仅是允许你休息；它是要遵守的规则，是要遵循的原则)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了不要只是记住工作，也要学会休息，要平衡工作和休息。故选A项。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 51. How did Kristin Schell decorate the table in her front yard? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What activities did Kristin and her kids do at the turquoise table? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 6 mean? (1 word) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of The Turquoise Table? And give your reasons. (no more than 25 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. She painted the table turquoise. 52. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. 53. The reason why people do not want to socialize. 54. Relieve. 55. I think turquoise tables are really good for bringing the community closer together. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。克里斯汀·谢尔在前院放置了一张青绿色餐桌，与邻居和陌生人建立联系。在她的宣传和带动下，现已形成了一场全国性的运动。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk(聚会结束后，我把桌子漆成了绿松石色——我最喜欢的颜色——并把它放在前院，离人行道只有几英尺远)”可知，克里斯汀·谢尔将前院的桌子漆成绿松石色。故答案为She painted the table turquoise. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks.(那张绿松石桌子成了克里斯汀和她的孩子们玩耍的地方。他们玩游戏，做手工，吃零食)”可知，克里斯汀和她的孩子们在绿松石餐桌上玩游戏，做手工，吃零食。故答案为They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. 【53题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第五段“People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure.(人们常常不愿邀请别人到家里来。他们认为他们的房子太乱了，不够大，或者他们没有足够的时间。“我们的完美主义会让我们错过与他人交流的乐趣，”克里斯汀说。她的野餐桌带走了借口和压力)”可知，第5段的主旨是人们不愿意社交的原因。故答案为The reason why people do not want to socialize. 【54题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第四段““It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.(她说:“这是一种简单的方式，可以让你放慢脚步，与他人交流。”那张绿松石色的桌子很诱人，有一种共同的感觉)”；倒数第三段“Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure.(她的野餐桌带走了借口和压力)”以及划线词后文“loneliness and building relationships in her community”可知，绿松石餐桌在缓解孤独感和建立社区关系方面迈出一小步。故划线词意思是“缓解”。故答案为Relieve. 【55题详解】 考查开放题。根据“你觉得绿松石桌怎么样？并给出你的理由”可回答我认为绿松石桌确实有助于拉近社区的距离。故答案为I think turquoise tables are really good for bringing the community closer together. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 56. 假设你是天津瑞思国际中学的学生李津。你校国际部将举办主题为“感受身边变化，讲好中国故事”的演讲比赛。请你根据以下内容用英文写一篇演讲稿。 (1)身边变化（旅游出行便捷，环保意识增强，传统文化盛行等）; (2)对身边变化的感想。 注意： (1)词数不少于100（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 参考词汇：垃圾分类garbage sorting “感受身边变化，讲好中国故事”Feeling Changes Around, Telling Stories of China Aloud Dear friends, I’m Li Jin, a student from Rui Si International High School. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I sincerely hope everyone present can feel the changes around and tell the stories of China aloud by yourself just as I’m doing here.

Luckily, here are some of the best adventure books. Click on the book name for detailed information. Jaws by Peter Benchley The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg’s hit movie — which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975. Jaw s is the story of three men’s search to kill a human-eating great white shark. It’s a high-risky adventure on the sea, which holds more dangers than anyone could have ever imagined. Children of the Comet by Donald Moffitt In the far future, a small community lives in space and harvests frozen air to make a living. But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets (彗星) — and humans on spaceships — appear on the scene? This is a great adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice. Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle. Named Tarzan, the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts: the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans. In the animal kingdom, Tarzan shows his survival skills and strength as he competes with powerful predators (猎食动物). However, Tarzan’s greatest test lies in his interaction with humans. As he encounters explorers and settlers in the African jungle, he must deal with the complexities of human society. Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker This book tells the story of a female Utahraptor named Red and her struggles for survival in the prehistoric dinosaur-eat-dinosaur world. Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told from the third-person point of view. The author expertly draws upon heartfelt research about the Cretaceous Period (白垩纪) to bring a prehistoric Earth to life. 36. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. The movie Jaws caused a significant decline in beach attendance in 1974. B. Jaws is a story about three women trying to kill a man-eating shark. C. The movie Jaws was adapted from a novel published in 1974. D. Jaws is an adventure film about hunting wild animals in the jungle. 37. A fan of space exploration might be interested in ______ A. Jaws B. Children of the Comet C. Tarzan of the Apes D. Raptor Red 38. According to the book Tarzan of the Apes, what is the greatest challenge to Tarzan? A. Apes in the African jungle. B. The fierce animals. C. The powerful predators. D. The threatening humans. 39. What is special about the book Raptor Red? A. It features dinosaurs’ behaviour. B. It is written by a female. C. It is written in the third-person. D. It is about the earth’s history. 40. Where is the text most likely to be found? A. On a website. B. On a poster. C. In a newspaper. D. In a novel. B I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. You are wanted to join my next challenge group — we’ll be focusing on fitting in 30 minutes of exercise and balanced nutrition.” It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before Facebook, surfing the internet was an occasional distraction(分心的事) and I spent a lot more time reading books. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account. I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I started taking yoga classes again. I started to remember a few things. My body is fine just the way it is. I have friends who will help me out when I’m in trouble, and I will help them out. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are very lucky to be able to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present in the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life. After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates. It is not an addiction any more. I managed to use it reasonably. 41. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The challenge. B. The message. C. The exercise. D. The nutrition. 42. What can we know from the second paragraph? A. The author’s son liked the photo posted on the Facebook. B. The author spent much time surfing the internet before Facebook. C. Facebook shifted the author’s focus away from reading books. D. The son’s question made the author know the importance of acceptance. 43. What did the author do to change her life? A. She traveled around a lot for a year. B. She developed some healthy habits. C. She tried to help her friends on vacations. D. She went to the gym as often as she could. 44. What did the author think of the break from Facebook? A. It gave her time to find beauty in life. B. It distanced her from her friends. C. It prevented her from getting updates. D. It stopped her using social media completely. 45. In the author’s opinion, what attitude should people adopt on using social media? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. C Richard is a very a successful businessman. It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop. He wasn’t aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning, which was a sort of alarm. And then what happened? He had a week’s leave during which time he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach, which has enabled Richard to return to work again. In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.” We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax — this has become the model of a successful life. Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom. How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week — for followers of some religions — for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world. Rest is s spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow. 46.

Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 51. How did Kristin Schell decorate the table in her front yard?
