B From childhood, Moira loved to write. Throughout school she enjoyed writing, but pursuing it professionally was never a possibility. Her father was a doctor, her mother a nurse. “Medicine was a fairly safe choice,” Moira says, “and writing was a career where it wasn’t a certainty that you’d have high income.” She became a doctor but still wanted to write something. However, being a doctor was so demanding that she didn’t take up writing until her thirties. She produced a novel — a fictionalized version of her travel in China after university. She got excellent reviews. Moira sent it off to as many agents as she could find, and found one who wanted to represent her. Suddenly, it seemed she was on her way as an author. “I had one lengthy phone call with the agent where we went through all possible areas that she thought needed polishing. I worked on those and sent it back to her but didn’t hear anything.” It wasn’t long before Moira found another agent who was interested if she was willing to rewrite it from the first person to the third person. She did the hard work and sent it off again. “I got back a really brief letter: ‘Thank you, I’m no longer interested.’ It was really disappointing.” A decade went by, and Moira found herself eager to write again, this time purely for her own enjoyment. She set herself the challenge of creating a thriller and chose Western Australia as her setting. As she was writing just for herself, something surprising began to happen. “The characters took on a life of their own; they started doing things I hadn’t thought about. It just flew.” One day, an agent called from Australia. Three weeks later, Moira had a publication deal. Her novel, Cicada, was published in March. “Even if it hadn’t been published I still gained so much from the process,” says Moira. 56. What do we know about Moira? A. She was a writer. B. She was a doctor. C. She was an agent. D. She was a nurse. 57. What does the author imply about her first novel? A. It was produced after she graduated from university. B. It was published by one of the agents. C. It was modified according to the agents’ requirements. D. It was made into a thriller with Western Australia as the setting. 58. What made Moira write again ten years later? A. The money. B. The setting. C. The challenge. D. The pleasure. 59. What does the underlined word “flew” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Succeeded. B. Survived. C. Broke D. Failed. 60. What would be the best title of the passage? A. An Adventure in China B. How to Be a Writer C. Moira’s First Novel D. A Passion for Writing C Earth’s biggest problem, according to Douglas Adams, is quite simple: the species of clever ape (猿) that thinks it runs the joint (有控制权，有主导地位) is mostly unhappy most of the time. Computer scientist Cal Newport now adds email to the list of life’s troubles. In his book A World Without Email, he argues this once-brilliant invention has made us suffer. Newport says we’ve become slaves to email trapped in a “hyperactive hive mind” — the reality in which everyone, everywhere, can communicate with everyone else with ease. Studies have shown how dominant email has become in ordinary office life. The average knowledge worker sends and receives 126 emails daily, which ruins focus, making them less productive and more irritable (易怒的). All of this might be bearable but for one problem: the mismatch between modern electronic messaging and our own information-processing capacity. Multitasking is a myth. We can’t think clearly while dealing with an overflowing inbox (爆满的收件箱). We’re born to prefer real-time conversations, where everyone gets updates together. Back in small tribes (部落), we needed daily chats to feel connected. Now, in a digital world, that ancient urge makes us anxious if we don’t reply to every email instantly. Despite his book’s title, Newport isn’t against all electronic messaging. What drives him to desperation is how we use it. With office workers nodding in hearty agreement, Newport offers some solutions. A German company invented the No Email Day. Productivity went up, even though it shortened the work time. The goal was for everyone to approach their work more deliberately without rushing. Some companies use an application called Trello to allow workers to access the necessary data and decide when to jump in and get things done. Handling email when it’s out of control is like being pecked (啄) by a flock of geese. But changing this won’t be easy. Our need for focused thinking conflicts with the Dopamine Economy — something designed to keep us unable to resist constant messages. Still, Newport thinks regaining control of our time might be the key to being happier at work. 61. What is a consequence of handling numerous emails daily? A. A drop in work efficiency. B. A lack of social connections. C. A change in office culture. D. A rise in communication skills. 62. What’s the meaning of “hyperactive hive mind” in paragraph 2? A. A busy work state. B. A peaceful team spirit. C. A creative thinking way D. A healthy life habit 63. What causes our anxiety about unreplied emails according to paragraph 3? A. The lack of real-time conversations. B. The myth of modern office multitasking. C. The mismatch with our ancient urges. D. The overflow of daily digital information. 64. What is the purpose of introducing the No Email Day? A. To shorten the daily work time. B. To help workers work more deliberately. C. To test a new digital application. D. To stop all electronic messaging completely. 65. What is the best title for the text? A. The Invention of No Email Day B. How to Be Happy at Work C. The Rise of the Dopamine Economy D. Escaping the Trap of Email Overload 第四部分：写作 第一节：课文填空（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分） As I put on my curly rainbow wig, big red nose, and add my name badge “Doctor Larry LaughOutLoud”, I walk through the doors into the waiting area, 66 there’s a familiar atmosphere of 67 (bore) and tension. In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose ankle is twice its normal size. Since getting here, she 68 (spend) her time crying in pain. It’s my job to make her feel 69 (good). I work as part of a programme 70 (know) as “hospital clowning”. Being a clown doctor means I can help people by 71 (entertain) them. We do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories and telling silly jokes. Some children, though, don’t feel like laughing, especially if they’re in pain. We have to be very sensitive and work 72 (close) with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated 73 each patient. While there might be more hospital visits ahead for patients, I hope that clown doctors help make it a friendlier place 74 (visit). After all, it really is true that “laughter is 75 best medicine”. 66. __________ 67. __________ 68. __________ 69. __________ 70. __________ 71. __________ 72. __________ 73. __________ 74. __________ 75. __________ 第二节：书面表达（满分15分） 76．你的好友Tom近期学业压力繁重，长期情绪低落、不苟言笑，心态消极 写作要求：1．表达对好友的真诚关心； 2．建议他发现生活趣事、培养幽默乐观心态； 3．鼓励积极面对学业压力。 字数：100词左右，格式正确、逻辑完整、语言地道。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
