Miami Book Fair For eight days each year in November, the campus of Miami Dade College hosts over 500 outstanding authors during the Miami Book Fair. The fair offers young writers a unique opportunity to attend creative writing courses and workshops. Readers can listen to famous international authors talk about their latest books. Most of the events are offered free of charge to encourage a love of literature across all income groups. Cheltenham Literature Festival The festival runs for 10 days every autumn in Cheltenham. It’s the world’s first literature festival, leading the way in celebrating the writ- ten and spoken word.

Paraty International Literary Festival It’s held each year in the city of Paraty, Brazil. Visitors can meet many local and international authors, poets and playwrights, and attend literature workshops. As part of the festival, Flipinha is mainly for children where young readers can meet writers and relax with a book in a special space. A further arm of the festival is called FlipMais. A series of free events about live theatre, music and cinema are held throughout the city of Paraty. Edinburgh International Book Festival The festival lasts for over 16 days every August and usually features around 900 events where you can meet your favorite authors, and bring your children to attend magical story-telling sessions and special workshops for children with learning disabilities.

B Two high school students have identified four new planets in distant space about 200 light years from Earth, making them “the youngest astronomers” to make such a discovery. Kartik Pingle, 16, and Jasmine Wright, 18, who both attend schools in Massachusetts, participated in the Student Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). With the help of Tansu Daylan, an MIT doctor for Astrophysics and Space Research, the students studied and analyzed data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Together they focused on Tess Object of Interest (TOI) 1233, a nearby, bright sun-like star and here they found four planets rotating (旋转) around the star. “We were looking to see changes in light over time,” Pingle explained, “the idea is that if the planet transits the star, or passes in front of it, it would periodically cover up the star and decrease its brightness.” While studying 1233, Pingle and Wright had at least hoped to find one planet, but were overwhelmed with joy when a total of four were spotted. “I was very excited and very shocked.” Wright said. “We knew this was the goal of Daylan’s research, but to actually find a multi-planetary system, and be part of the discovering team, was really cool.” Three of the newly discovered planets are considered as “sub-Neptunes”, which are gaseous (气态的), but smaller than the Neptune that lives in our solar system. While observing the planets, the team determined each one completes their orbit around 1233 every six to 19.5 days. However, the fourth planet is labeled a “super-Earth” for its large size and rockiness — this one orbits around the star in just under four days. “We have long been studying planets beyond our solar system and with multi-planetary systems, the two young students are kind of hitting the jackpot. They are really blessed.” Daylan said. “The planets originated from the same disk of matter around the same star, but they ended up being different planets with different atmospheres and different climates due to their different orbits. So, we would like to understand the fundamental processes of planet formation and evolution using this planetary system.” Daylan added that it was a “win-win” to work with Pingle and Wright on the study. “As a researcher, I really enjoy interacting with young brains that are open to experimentation and learning and have minimal bias.” he said, “I also think it is very beneficial to high school students, since they get exposure to cutting-edge research and this prepares them quickly for a research career.” 4. How did the two students identify the four planets? A. By helping professor Tansu Daylan with the data. B. By analyzing the change of brightness of star 1233. C. By studying Neptune that lives in our solar system. D. By interacting with other young talented brains. 5. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The features of the newly-discovered planets. B. The great efforts made by the two students. C. The comparison between the two star systems. D. The significance of the discovery of the planet. 6. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “hitting the jackpot” in paragraph 5? A. Making a discovery difficultly. B. Achieving the goal easily. C. Succeeding in something luckily. D. Performing a task carefully. 7. According to the article, what benefits does the study bring? A. It allows the scientists to work with young people without prejudice. B. It equips future astronomers with better researching capabilities. C. It provides more perspectives and thus boosts more discoveries. D. It arouses students’ interest in exploring the unknown universe. C Just as a hungry brain craves (渴望) food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this. After being left alone, it shows people's brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food. Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues began this study. They recruited (招募) 40 people. On one day, the participants had to fast—not eat anything at all—for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldn't see anyone. No friends, no family and no social media. They weren't even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region. At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers. After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends. The midbrain plays an important part in people's motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food and social signals even when people aren't hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people's responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience. 8. How does Tomova test out the result of the study? A. By stimulating desire. B. By controlling blood flow. C. By monitoring brain activity. D. By examining mental activities. 9. What do we know about midbrain? A. It consists of two areas. B. It helps motivate desire for food. C. It stops working when people are full. D. It decreases responses to lost friends. 10. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A midbrain area. B. A social activity. C. A volunteer. D. A hamburger. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Dopamine—a Sure Sign of Age B. Midbrain—a Nest for the Thoughts C. Hunger Makes Mental Health Struggle D. Loneliness Makes Our Brains Need People D China's war on garbage is as digitally savvy (精通的) as the country itself. Think QR codes attached to garbage bags that allow a government to trace exactly where its garbage comes from. On July 1, Shanghai began a compulsory garbage-sorting program. Under the new regulations, households and companies must classify wastes into tour categories and put them in designated places at certain times. Violators (违反者) will be fined. Companies and properties that don't obey risk having their credit rating lowered. The strict management became the talk of the city's more than 24 million residents, who criticized the program's inflexibility and confusing waste categorization. Gratefully, China's tech start-ups are here to help. China's biggest Internet companies responded with new search features that help people identify tour wastes. For example, are lithium (锂) batteries hazardous (有害的) or recyclable waste? Not even the most environmentally conscious person can get all answers right. Now people just need to simply pull up a mini app to solve it. One payment platform, claims its garbage-sorting mini app added one million users in just three days and has so far indexed more than 4,000 types of rubbish. Soon it will save people from typing by using image recognition to classify garbage when they shoot a photo of it. Some apps can already answer the question “What kind of garbage is a wet wipe?” and more. If people are too busy or lazy, startups are offering valet (服侍) garbage service at the doorstep. A third-party developer built a recycling mini app and is now collecting garbage from 8,000 apartment complexes across 11 cities. Some companies' food delivery arm has added garbage pickup to its list of valet services. Besides, companies are building software to make property managers' lives easier. Each household is asked to attach a unique QR code to garbage bags, which will be scanned for sources and classification. 12. What can we know based on the new regulations? A. Residents throw wastes freely. B. Families just need to classify wastes. C. People against rules can face punishment. D. Companies that break the rules will be closed down. 13. What is the citizens' attitude to the new regulations? A. Annoyed. B. Optimistic. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Some companies have no valet services. B. Some payment platforms build a recycling mini app on their own. C. QR code helps to trace the origin of garbage. D. Tmall Genie can use image recognition to classify garbage. 15. In which section of a newspaper would you probably read the text? A. Environment Issues. B. Regulations for Residents C. Do-it-Yourself. D. Community Service. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Over time, habits of negative thinking about ourselves can lower self-esteem (自尊). So if you want to feel better about yourself, try some of these things: ___16___ Are you so used to focusing on your problems that they’re all you see? Next time you find yourself trapped in problems or disappointment with yourself or your day, find something positive to deal with it. Each day, write down three good things about yourself, or three things that went smoothly that day because of your action or effort. Aim for effort rather than perfection. Some people get held back by their own pressure to be perfect. They lose out because they don’t try. Usually, you may think, “I won’t audition (试镜) for the play because I probably won’t get the lead.” ___17___ Remind yourself that everyone is good at different things. ___18___ Thinking more like this: “She’s a great basketball player — but the truth is, I’m a better musician than athlete. Still, I’ll keep playing because I enjoy it.” It helps you accept yourself and make the best of the situation. ___19___ Don’t be afraid to voice them. If someone disagrees, it’s not a judgment on your worth or your intelligence. That person just sees things differently from you. Set goals. ___20___ Then make a plan for how to do it. Stick with your plan, and keep track of your progress. A. Focus on what goes well for you. B. Take pride in your opinions and ideas. C. Think about what you’d like to achieve. D.

As I drove up the slip road, I spotted a man with a backpack and his thumb (拇指) out. I pulled over and lowered the window. “Which way are you heading?” I asked. “I’m going back to London.” came his immediate reply. He opened the door and lifted his backpack on to the back seat. “I’m Brendan,” said he with an easy smile and a rich Irish (爱尔兰) tongue. “I was getting a bit desperate. I’ve had my thumb out for a day and a half. Nobody seems to stop these days.” “I haven’t eaten for days,” said Brendan. “I'm trying to get home.” I’ve always enjoyed picking up hitchhikers (搭便车的人). I used to be a motoring journalist and crossed the country in various test cars. Picking up a hiker always made me feel a little less guilty about all the miles I was doing. As we headed east along the motorway, Brendan told me how he came to be waiting for a lift on that particular evening, and also about the tragedy (悲剧) that had ruined him and pushed him out of his original life and on to the road. Brendan told me that he was 52. He loved travelling a lot and enjoyed his single lifestyle. But his peaceful life was interrupted when he was mugged (抢劫) last week. “Three young men in Birmingham robbed me of another pack with all my money and my cellphone inside. I’ve been sleeping out since then. I haven’t eaten for days. I’m hoping to get some casual work in London, so I can then get myself home to Ireland.” It must have been the concept of home that struck me, and helping a man who’d clearly had a tough time seemed like the right thing to do.

Last Friday our English club had a debate on the topic. Some students in favour of the idea thought youngsters could show their talents by making the videos. Besides, they believed it could help them gain more confidence. On the contrary, others argued that it might lead the youth to be addicted to the Internet. What's worse, some young people might feel that success could come from luck but not hard work. Personally, I'm in favour of the first view. As long as we use the Internet properly, its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】范文： As we were approaching the Heathrow turn-off, I had an idea. It dawned on me that I could afford him money to purchase a ticket to Ireland. At the thought of this, I hastened to pour out the fantastic idea. My words caught Brendan off guard, who was dumbfounded. With disbelief and gratitude on his face, he bit his lips, trying to hold back tears. “Thank you.” he said in a choked voice. I pulled out into the airport highway, soon dropped him off outside the terminal building and gave him some money. Before he left to buy his air ticket, he gave me a huge hug. Meanwhile, he promised me that he would pay me back. I hugged him back and expressed what I expected from him, which was spreading the kindness instead of repaying me. Brendan said my generosity reignited his faith in life and he would continue my chain of kindness. Having bid farewell to me, he blended into the crowd, which was a scene filling me with fulfillment and contentment. Rose given, fragrance in hand. Heavy as the rain was, I felt warm in my heart was on my way to London again. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
