Being fat is a non-stop fight between not being noticed and attracting much notice. Sometimes you want to be accepted; instead, you're singled out and judged. In 2015, when I became the first plus-size designer to win Project Runway, I hoped it would be a moment not only for inclusive fashion, but also for all other fat human beings out there. It wasn't just me who had won; we'd won. Many women told me they were afraid to wear bright colors or show off their arms until they saw me doing it. But some of the words on the Internet were terrible: “Why did they pick that fat designer ” “How can she encourage such an unhealthy lifestyle ” My positive psychology was affected. I got sad and negative and put on more weight. I reached a point where I couldn't climb stairs without losing my breath.
I finally realized that if I didn't take care of myself, I couldn't keep doing what I loved, so I went to see a doctor and started doing exercise every day. After that I got more judgments, this time from people in the fat group who once supported me. They turned their backs on me and said, “You can't be body positive and still losing weight.” I thought, “Well, why not I wasn't trying to be ‘prettier’; I wanted to have control of my life.”
Size should not divide us, whether we are fat, thin, or anywhere in the between. I'm designing clothes for plus women, but one day I might be open to designing straight(直筒型的) sizes. People judge me for that, too. But I just want to create clothes that make people feel good. I want every woman to love herself and go after her dreams like I did.
4.What was the author's hope after she won Project Runway
A.People would look up to her.
B.Other fat people would share her pride.
C.The clothes she designed would sell well.
D.Fat people would lead the fashion industry.

C.She stopped wearing bright colors.
D.She decided to have a healthy lifestyle.

A.Dissatisfied.
B.Uninterested.
C.They laughed at her.
D.They couldn't believe it.
7.In which part of a newspaper might this passage appear
A.Environment. B.Medicine.
C.Career. D.Entertainment.

When we talk about positive thinking, we often use terms having to do with our hearts—open heart, pure heart or joyful heart. But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina (心绞痛),a common heart condition.
Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen. Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns, including having positive expectations about recovery, were 40 percent less likely to be hospitalized or require surgery than those who were not optimistic, according to the study. The researchers collected data from 2,400 patients who had diagnoses of angina.
An interesting additional finding from the patients' questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were also the least likely to have histories of heart attack, heart failure or heart disease.
The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes, however. There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study, including the idea that patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.
But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation. Now, in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health, there is a new way of inquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve outcomes.
Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff, a fellow in the department of cardiology (心脏病学) at the Duke University Medical Center, told the Duke Chronicle that his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.
Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the words of the writer Anthony J. D'Angelo:“Smile—it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.”
8.How can people with angina get better according to the study
A.By expecting more.
B.By thinking positively.
C.By getting timely surgery.
D.By taking more exercise.
9.What may be Alexander Fanaroff's next research
A.To explore how to improve patients' attitudes.
B.To find out the ways to treat heart patients.
C.To learn the causes of heart diseases.
D.To test if positive attitudes help with health.
10.What can we learn from the text
A.Optimistic people hardly get heart attack.
B.People's attitudes decide their overall health.
C.How positive thinking benefits heart health is unclear.
D.The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.
11.What may be the best title of the text
A.Keep positive to get rid of illness
B.Angina, a kind of serious condition
C.Depression, a key cause of heart attack
D.Positive thinking makes hearts healthier

Next time you're in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you're on public transport, in a cafe or simply standing on an escalator.
I'm not saying that I am not an example of this, but it always amazes me how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular. It seems that they rely on their phones too much.
For example, I recently visited London and travelled on the tube while I was there. Apart from the people asleep, almost everybody else was on their phones, and because of the nature of the tube, it is difficult not to see exactly what they are all doing. Of course, being underground is difficult for you to get any signal, which rules out texting or using the Internet, but there is still plenty you can use your phones for. People were absorbed in playing games, reading articles and listening to music, and I am sure that as soon as they emerged from the train station they would start texting or calling or checking their emails.
Recently, my smartphone broke and had to be sent off to the warehouse for repair for a week or so. In the meantime I had to use a really old, basic phone just to keep me in touch with my family and friends. All I could do on this phone was send text messages, make calls and play one game. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn't mind not having constant updates about what my friends were doing or what the latest celebrity story was. It allowed me to spend more time taking in my surroundings.
However, I knew that as soon as I got my smartphone back I would be one of those people once again. But I made up my mind to discipline myself.
12.Why are you asked to look around in Paragraph 1
A.To ensure your safety.
B.To communicate with people.
C.To count the people around you.
D.To count the number of people using phones.
13.What were many people on the tube in London probably doing
A.Using mobile apps.
B.Talking with each other.
C.Reading printed books.
D.Checking social network sites.
14.What did the author think of having to use his basic phone
A.He felt great actually.
B.He found it very inconvenient.
C.He couldn't see much difference.
D.He felt terrible at first but better later.
15.What does the underlined part “those people” in the last paragraph refer to
A.People without mobiles.
B.People using basic phones.
C.People using smartphones reasonably.
D.People spending a lot of time on mobiles.

Are you sometimes stressed out Singing is a simple and effective way to reduce stress. It is beneficial mainly in the following three aspects.
Physical Benefits
16 This is especially recommended to the elders and those who have some forms of disability in their voice. However, it is important to find a capable instructor to employ good singing techniques so as not to further damage vocal cords (声带) or lungs.
Singing also helps to improve your posture. Most people think that singing begins and ends with their mouths. 17 Singing practice will get you used to the proper body position of standing and help you form the good habit of standing straight.
Emotional Benefits
Singing helps in reducing your depression in psychology and lowering your stress level. When you sing, your body releases chemicals that make you feel happy, easing the tension and helping you to relax. 18
Social Benefits
The social benefits of singing are huge. 19 So people who suffer from stage fright are advised to sing in front of family and friends before a live performance.
Singing is also very good for improving your communication skills. It is said that singing to babies helps to prepare their brains for a language and may lessen the risk of language problems later in life. 20 The time spent in group singing, whether in a choir or at karaoke, creates a deep and lasting bond of friendship.
A.Try to regain your memory by singing.
B.First, it can help build up your confidence greatly.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
If you're worried that too much “screen time” could badly influence your child's intelligence, new research suggests you might be right. By analyzing the data gathered from over 4,500 U.S. kids aged 8 to 11 between 2016 and 2017,Jeremy Walsh,a postdoctoral fellow with the CHEO Research Institute in Ottawa, found that too much “screen time” could be harming your child's intelligence.
Kids with the sharpest intellects spent less than two hours a day on their cellphones, tablets and computers coupled with 9 to 11 hours of sleep and at least an hour of physical activity. “Too much screen time could be affecting kids' ability to focus, especially if they are switching between apps on a device or between different screens at the same time,” Walsh suggested. “One leading theory is that much time on screens is spent multitasking using multiple apps or devices at once,” he said. “This can interfere with a child's ability to focus and keep interest in a task. It can be damaging the building blocks for good cognition(认知).”
“Sleep is important for brain development, since that's when the brain reorganizes itself and grows,” Walsh added. Besides, exercise has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain and oxygenation of brain tissues, and increases the connectivity of networks in the brain. Too much screen time could lead to a “cascade(瀑布)” effect where kids don't get enough sleep and then are less active during the day. “You can see how this would have an impact on brain health,” said Walsh.
What should parents do Walsh advised setting firm rules about the use of screens including how long children are using the screens, the kinds of apps they are using and how many screens they are using at once. Concerned parents also should preview games or apps before letting their children play, seek out more interactive(交互的)options that engage the children's minds, and use parental controls to block or filter the content and limit the screen time.

A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了参观孙德尔本斯国家公园的理想时间以及公园内有趣的活动。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的...September to March is the ideal time to come here.可知,9月到次年3月是去孙德尔本斯国家公园的理想时间,A项(12月)正好在这个时间范围内。
2.A 细节理解题。根据Visit the Mangrove Interpretation Centre部分的内容可知,红树林解说中心有很多展示野生动植物的海报和展品,游客还可以看到鳄鱼,由此可知,游客在这里可以看到一些动物和植物。
3.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了参观孙德尔本斯国家公园的理想时间以及公园内有趣的活动,由此可知,作者的写作目的是向游客介绍一些在孙德尔本斯国家公园里可以做的有吸引力的事情。
【高频词汇】 1.situate vt.使位于 2.ideal adj.理想的
3.sightseeing n.观光 4.preserved adj.保藏的 5.famed adj.著名的 6.various adj.各种各样的
原句 April,May and June are too hot while July and August often bring heavy season winds that limit travel and don t make for a very pleasant sightseeing experience.
句意 4月、5月和6月太热了,而7月和8月经常带来强大的季风,这限制了旅行,而且并不能造就一次非常愉快的观光体验。
分析 本句是一个并列复合句。while连接两个并列分句。在第二个并列分句中,that limit travel and don t make for a very pleasant sightseeing experience是定语从句,修饰先行词heavy season winds,而that引导的定语从句中limit 和don t make是并列的谓语动词。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者成为第一个赢得Project Runway的大码设计师时身体很胖,互联网上的评论让作者感到难过。后来她意识到不管胖与瘦, 她希望每个女人都要爱自己并追逐自己的梦想。
4.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的...I hoped it would be a moment not only for inclusive fashion, but also for all other fat human beings out there.可知,作者在获奖后希望其他胖人也会分享她的骄傲。故选B。

7.C 推理判断题。本文介绍了作者在得奖后因为肥胖而受到人们的褒贬不一的评价,因此心情一度受到影响,后来她意识到不管胖瘦,健康和对梦想的追求才是最重要的。由此推断这篇文章会出现在报纸的职业栏目。
【高频词汇】 1.single out单独挑出 2.judgment n.看法 3.go after 追求
原句 In 2015, when I became the first plus-size designer to win Project Runway, I hoped it would be a moment not only for inclusive fashion, but also for all other fat human beings out there.
句意 2015年,当我成为第一个赢得Project Runway的大码设计师时,我希望这不仅是包容时尚的时刻,也是那里所有其他肥胖人士的时刻。
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。when I became the first plus-size designer to win Project Runway是时间状语从句,it would be a moment not only for inclusive fashion, but also for all other fat human beings out there是宾语从句,其中not only...but also...连接两个介词短语修饰moment。

【高频词汇】 1.connection n.联系,连接 2.pressure n.压力
3.optimistic adj.乐观的 4.positive adj.积极的 5.expectation n.期望 6.declare v.宣布,声明 7.outcome n.结果
原句 But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina,a common heart condition.
句意 但是杜克大学的一项新研究正在建立更密切的联系,发现积极的态度可能对患有一种常见的心脏病——心绞痛的人们有益。
分析 本句的主干是new research from Duke University is making a closer connection,而finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina,a common heart condition是现在分词短语作状语,其中that引导宾语从句,在宾语从句中who have angina,a common heart condition是定语从句,修饰先行词people,a common heart condition是angina的同位语。

36.who 考查定语从句。句意:一个体重正常、经常锻炼、饮食健康、不吸烟、适量饮酒的母亲生出肥胖孩子的可能性要小得多。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为mother,指人,故填关系代词who。
37.drinks 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知设空处与has、exercises、eats和doesn t smoke作并列谓语,故用一般现在时。主语为A mother,故用第三人称单数形式,故填drinks。
38.to have 考查不定式。be likely to do sth.可能做某事。
39.than 考查介词。句意:研究表明,和先天因素相比,这可能更多地与后天因素有关,因为母亲的生活方式似乎与孩子的健康直接相关。根据空前的more判断此处填than,表示比较。
40.directly 考查副词。修饰过去分词linked应该用副词形式。故填directly。
41.is reduced 考查时态和语态。句意:这项对24,000多名儿童进行的研究发现,当母亲和孩子都遵循健康的生活方式时,肥胖的风险甚至会降低更多。根据句意可知此句描述的是客观事实,而且the risk of obesity与reduce之间是被动关系,所以应该用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is reduced。
42.to 考查介词。句意:这项研究调查了美国近17,000名妇女所生的24,000多名9到14岁的儿童的病史和生活方式。from...to...从……到……。
43.being 考查非谓语动词。句意:研究人员研究了母亲的整体健康状况与孩子肥胖的可能性之间的关系。空格处作介词of的宾语,故用动名词形式,其中child是动名词的逻辑主语。故填being。
44.activity 考查名词。句意:母亲的健康状况根据身高体重比、饮食、运动量、吸烟情况和饮酒量等因素判断。根据句意可知此处应填名词,表示“运动”,表示抽象意义,为不可数名词,故填activity。
45.an 考查冠词。句意:正常的体重和饮食、定期锻炼、不吸烟以及适量饮酒都能降低女性生一个肥胖孩子的概率。child是单数可数名词,此处泛指一个肥胖的孩子,而且obese以元音音素开头。故填an。
【高频词汇】 1.obese adj.肥胖的 2.regularly adv.定期地;有规律地 3.significantly adv.显著地 4.link v.相关联
原句 A mother, who has a healthy weight, exercises regularly, eats a healthy diet, doesn t smoke cigarettes and drinks wine in moderation, is significantly less likely to have a fat child.
句意 一个体重正常、经常锻炼、饮食健康、不吸烟、适量饮酒的母亲生出肥胖孩子的可能性要小得多。
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。句子主干是A mother is significantly less likely to have a fat child;who has...in moderation是who引导的定语从句,在定语从句中has、exercises、eats、doesn t smoke和drinks是并列的谓语动词。
