B Anna Mary Robertson was a famous American painter. It is often said that Anna first took up painting when she was nearly 80 years old. In fact, when she was a little girl, she drew whenever she had a chance. Long before she became known, Anna lived a life full of challenges. She always kept busy with farm chores, housework, and children, but she never really stopped pursuing (追求) art. In Anna’s late age, she pictured some scenes in her mind before painting. She would close her eyes and recall a happy time from her early life. She would remember helping her father on the farm. She would see the people, the farm buildings, and the animals. She would imagine the blue mountains and the softly falling snow. Anna’s friends and family members loved the paintings. She gave them away as gifts. A friend hung several of the paintings in a local store. One day a stranger came into the store and bought every one of her paintings. He took her paintings to New York City and showed them to some art collectors. One of these collectors, Dr. Kallir, liked the paintings. He hung some of them in his gallery (画廊). The newspaper did a story about the art show. The reporter called Anna “Grandma Moses.” From then on almost everyone called her that way. Grandma Moses kept on painting. Her paintings got better, and they got more popular. In her lifetime, Moses created about 1,500 works of art. They were cheerful, warm and full of life, just like Grandma herself. Her paintings still remain popular today. “As I look back on my life, it’s like a good day’s work. It was done and I feel satisfied with it. I knew nothing better than painting and made full use of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be,” she said. 24. When did Anna first take up painting? A. When she was a little girl. B. When she was about 80 years old. C. When she saw the blue mountains. D. When she helped her father on the farm. 25. According to Paragraph 3, what’s the main theme of Anna’s paintings? A. Farming. B. Animals. C. Country life. D. Family members. 26. What’s the correct order of the following events? ①Anna was known to the public. ②Anna’s friends received her paintings as gifts. ③An art show about Anna’s paintings was reported. ④A man brought Anna’s paintings to New York City.

Creative and hard-working. C If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear. In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night. “Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.” However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting. “If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.” 28. How does the author begin the argument? A. By listing different opinions. B. By referring to scientific data. C. By mentioning a common act. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 29. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more? A. It included emotional inspiration. B. It contained violent content. C. It was entirely used by students. D. It required frequent physical interaction. 30. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides? A. Reading e-books instead of social media. B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed. C. Increasing daytime physical activity. D. Stopping using screens after supper. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health D. Reading on Phones Is Common Among Teens and Young Adults D Scientists believe nature is good for our well-being (幸福). But what’s the secret that brings about the benefit? A recent study by researcher Craig Anderson and his colleagues suggests it could be awe (敬畏) — a sense of being in the presence of something greater than ourselves that fills us with wonder. The first part of the study had some people go on a four-day river rafting (漂流) trip. They rowed through dangerous rapids in the forested areas in California. They also camped out in the wild. Before and after the trip, they reported on their well-being, including their stress levels and satisfaction with life. During the trip, they kept diaries about their emotions, including whether they’d felt awe, peace, gratitude, joy, or pride that day. At the end of the trip, their well-being had increased greatly. Studying the diaries, the researchers discovered awe — above other positive emotions — seemed to explain the improvement. In the second part, Anderson studied whether awe played a part in more ordinary, everyday experiences in nature. The answer is also yes. This is good news, because sometimes it’s not that easy for people to have long wilderness trips. “You don’t have to do amazing things in nature to feel awe,” says Anderson. “By taking a few minutes to enjoy flowers or a sunset in nature, you also improve your well-being.” Anderson says that awe may benefit you by creating a “small self” — a sense that you will have when you’re in the presence of something bigger than yourself, which may make worries and stresses less significant by comparison. But he also says that there could be other ways that nature improves our well-being. For example, the related physical exercise in nature could have made a difference too. Anyway, Anderson believes there’s enough evidence to encourage people to add more experiences in nature to their daily life. “People need to slow down and make space for that in their lives,” Anderson says. 32. What does the study by Anderson and his colleagues mainly find? A. What impacts a trip has on people. B. What makes being in nature beneficial. C. What interests travelers in nature. D. What good feelings people have in nature. 33. How does awe take effect according to the text? A. By stressing the greatness of nature. B. By getting people to forget their worries. C. By making people’s problems seem less serious. D. By encouraging people to solve problems actively. 34. What does Anderson appeal to people to do in the last paragraph? A. Get in touch with nature. B. Show respect for nature. C. Make time to do exercise. D. Do more research on nature. 35. What’s the text most probably from? A. A newspaper B. A tour guide. C. A diary. D. A science magazine. 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。 One of the primary goals of cognitive behavioral therapy (疗法) is finding effective ways to channel your anxiety into productive action. The best possible one is under the care of an experienced mental health care provider. Still, if you are hoping to stop being paralyzed (麻痹) by anxiety and use this energy to fuel and improve your life, you can. 36 . Set a goal. Goal-setting is one way to use your anxiety as fuel. Take notice of your anxious thoughts and worries. What are you most concerned about? 37 Instead of shaking in your boots, get down to developing a plan that allows you to overcome these fears. Challenge yourself regularly to build resilience. Think of your resilience to anxiety as a muscle. 38 Rather than avoiding those situations that cause anxiety, gradually expose yourself to them more often. When you do this, you will find that, over time, they lose their power. For instance, if you hate public speaking, you might benefit from signing up for a local Toastmasters club. Doing so will allow you to practice speaking in front of a group more often, which will reduce your anxiety. 39 Anxiety can feel like a live wire in your body. You can’t sit still or focus. Exercise is a great activity to make use of this spare energy. Exercise offers a host of benefits like fighting off illness and helping you manage weight. One of the benefits most helpful to you, however, is its ability to neutralize anxiety and improve your mood. Perform reality testing. You don’t have to become a slave to your anxious thoughts, giving them permission to get you all worked up. 40 Reality testing involves assessing a situation for errors in thinking. To assess the reality of this situation, you want to ask what evidence is there that says this is true. Did your friends actually call you lame? Are they avoiding you? A. What are your biggest fears? B. Put them to the test instead. C. Burn off nervous energy with physical activity. D. How can you deal with getting fired if it does happen? E. The more you use the muscle, the stronger it becomes. F. Just transform anxiety into action by using positive strategies. G. When you find yourself becoming anxious, check your thought patterns. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Alina’s life as an angel of love began in middle school, when, in the planting club of her school, she learned how to grow eggplants.

It is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they saw some people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s go and have a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.” “You are a coward and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other boys. Henry had to go home alone and didn’t think about it anymore. But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him. Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had lots of fun. 注意： 1．所续写的短文词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为二段，每段的开头语已经为你写好； Paragraph 1: A few days later, something terrible happened to Ronny. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, Henry happened to pass by. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
