I grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s,on the outskirts of downtown Orlando,Florida.Not far away,a three-storey house attracted my eyes.
It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother,a small dark place with rules about befriending others.“Don’t.Never,ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.
One day,in the sixth grade,a black-haired woman was introduced to our class:Mrs Reese.Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club.She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.
I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings.The bell rang,and to my shock,no one went up to Mrs Reese.I was under strict orders to go straight home.But that day,I stayed.I asked Mrs Reese when the club started.
“We could begin right now if you like,” she said with a smile.I felt beautiful.That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house.I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favourite food in Spanish.And I learned,“Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons ”
I wanted to say “Yes”,but Mum’s words held me back.
I begged my mother all summer and into fall,well after Spanish Club had dissolved.I wept at night sometimes,so worried that Mrs Reese and her family would move away.
At some point,I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon,I rode out to Mrs Reese’s house.
The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind:We had tea.She painted my toenails red.We made a garlicky picadillo.We spoke in Spanish.In Spanish,my voice was loud and romantic.This is the real me!I remember thinking.
My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs Reese’s house.But four decades later,I still remember that day and the life she showed me,proof of a possible future.

Recently,many e-commerce platforms have been uncovered that they are cheating their frequent customers.Their ways are pretty clever.When there are new users or conservative old users,they will give a quite appealing price to attract them into registering and buying goods.However,their big data is not that friendly to the stable users and frequent visitors.The system always offers them higher price for the same products or service.How does this happen According to the data analysis,the system knows clearly that although they feel the price is high,they will finally pay the bill.By collecting and analysing users’ profiles,buying habits and other information,big data recommends the same products to different users with different prices.
Companies also try other ways to make money,making online consumption far more worrying.For example,video websites always offer 120 seconds’ advertisements,which drives people crazy.And even if you pay for the membership to get rid of the ads,you have to “enjoy” 15-second “private” ads.By broadcasting them,companies make huge profits—second to the membership fees.Also,owning 100Mbps network,you still put up with the slow speed when you are downloading a song.You have no choice but to become a VIP when you seek high quality services.Users seem to be lambs among wolves.Even though they say,“Since you have money,I’ll charge you more”,we can’t do anything about it.
It pains us that we haven’t figured out a way to deal with the problem.Not finding a way to fight back,we can’t do anything but accept them passively.
28.How does big data serve companies according to the text
A.By being kind to all users.
B.By giving a discount to stable users.
C.By attracting new users by analysing their shopping habits.
D.By recommending the same products with higher prices to regular users.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However,their big data is not that friendly to the stable users and frequent visitors.The system always offers them higher price for the same products or service.”可知,大数据向老顾客推荐同类中价格较高的产品,故D项正确。
29.What do we know from the second paragraph
A.Membership can rid you of all the ads.
B.Only by being a VIP can you get a better service.
C.The slow download speed is due to your poor network.
D.Advertising income is the biggest income for video websites.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“You have no choice but to become a VIP when you seek high quality services.”可知,只有成为高级会员你才能得到更好的服务,故B项正确。
30.What is the author’s attitude towards the chances of finding a way to fight back
A.Uncertain. B.Casual.
C.Negative. D.Positive.
答案:C
解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Not finding a way to fight back,we can’t do anything but accept them passively.”可知,找不到反击的办法,我们只能被动地接受,由此可知,作者对找到反击方法的可能性持消极的态度。故C项正确。
31.What is the main idea of the text
A.The big data provides helpful information to users.
B.We have to accept online consumption as it is.
C.There exist many online consumption traps.
D.Regular customers are richer.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段中的“Recently,many e-commerce platforms have been uncovered that they are cheating their frequent customers.”可知,本文主要介绍了很多网上的电商平台存在消费陷阱,欺骗消费者。故C项正确。
D
One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don’t like,we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature,or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different.However,it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad,rather than saying,“It’s not bad or good,and it just is it.”
In one of my books,I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”.Some readers said it’s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However,it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead,you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do:how other people act at work,how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they’re that way.It will save you a lot of sadness,because you’ll no longer say,“Oh.I wish bad things didn’t happen!”
Does it mean you can never change things Not at all.But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are,but because you enjoy the process of changing,learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others,to grow as a person,to make a difference in this world.That’s the correct path you choose to take,because you enjoy that path.Therefore,when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.
32.The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because .
A.it is our natural emotion in the life
B.culture asks us to be different from others
C.everyone has their own opinions on things
D.we dislike something in the beginning
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.”可知,作者认为,我们感到不快乐可能是因为我们一开始就不喜欢某样东西。故选D项。
33.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Acting well at work and in politics.
B.Feeling depressed for the news media.
C.Accepting and understanding what has happened.
D.Saying something negative when bad things come.
答案:C
解析:代词指代题。根据第四段中的“Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they’re that way.It will save you a lot of sadness,because you’ll no longer say,‘Oh.I wish bad things didn’t happen!’(接受这些事情的本来面目,试着去理解它们为什么会这样。它会帮你省去很多悲伤,因为你不会再说‘哦’。我希望坏事不要发生!)”由此推知it指的是“接受并理解发生了什么。”故选C项。
34.What are you advised according to the last paragraph
A.Help others and make a difference.
B.Enjoy what you have to do in the work.
C.Judge yourself and make a wish for you.
D.Try a new way when making the world better.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“...when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.”可知,最后一段建议我们尝试一种新的方式,让世界变得更美好。故选D项。
35.What is the main theme of the passage
A.Accepting can make our life happier and better.
B.Expecting things to be different gives us hope.
C.Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness.
D.Judging good or bad is important for our world.
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.”和最后一段中“...try a different approach:accept,and understand.”可知,本文讲述的是“接受能让我们的生活更快乐、更美好。”故选A项。

Tips to Boost Your Confidence
36 Here are some solutions to boost your confidence in the long run.
Always think positively.
We all have negative voices inside our head. 37 Start out slowly and push yourself to think of three good things about yourself every morning.
38
Take the time to look within yourself and assess what is possible to change and what is out of reach.It is important to focus on changing the things you have control over,because this is where you will see the most self-improvement.Make a list of three things that you would like to improve on and then under each item write a few bullet points on how you will go about making this change.
Focus on the small steps for signs of improvement.
Make sure to focus on smaller victories.It is often harder for individuals to see their own self-improvement when they are looking at the long term,but it is easier to pinpoint changes when you are focusing on daily accomplishments. 39 Whatever it is makes sure you follow through and then acknowledge your achievements by making a list and posting it somewhere easily in view,because small steps always add up in the end.
Stop comparing yourself to others.
One of the most common pitfalls(陷阱)that humans are guilty of is comparing themselves with each other.It is important to remember that what appears on the surface is not always what is reality.If you feel like you are constantly overwhelmed by trying to keep up with others,make a marked effort to limit your usage of social media. 40
A.Be realistic with what you can change.
B.Try to understand body languages of others.
C.Building confidence takes time and patience.
D.Practice being award of how you hold yourself during the day.
E.The good news is that we can change these voices to only say positive things instead.
F.Start small and have a daily goal of one instance where you practice defending yourself.
G.You will be surprised with all the free time you have to do other things and best of all you will have a clear,more confident self.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容用英语写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
When people introduce themselves,I always hear them say “I’m just a housewife.” I don’t understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity.Is it,really a crime to be a housewife Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home
How could you be “just a housewife” when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service A housewife works for the longest hour,supporting your husband,child studies,caring for elders,managing finances,paying bills,cooking according to individual taste,cleaning,etc.A housewife could be anyone:daughter,wife,mother,teacher,financial advisor,fashion designer and nurse,gardener,driver,cook,and so on.Don’t think you are not being paid for it.You get the reward that no money can offer—the love and affection of your family,their trust in you,a happy home and your own satisfaction.
It is you who choose to be in this occupation,willingly or for any other reason.After a busy day,all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you.They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them.Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money
Respect yourself for what you are.Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity.The world understands the importance of your job;it’s time to make them accept it.Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes “I am a housewife.” Kick that “just” out.
参考范文
A housewife deserves to be respected and being a housewife is rewarding.Housewives deal with many things and play many roles in and outside the family.Besides,housewives can decrease family members’ stress and tiredness and make them relax,which cannot be bought with the money they earn.In a word,housewives should proudly introduce themselves,knowing they are important.

I grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s,on the outskirts of downtown Orlando,Florida.Not far away,a three-storey house attracted my eyes.
It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother,a small dark place with rules about befriending others.“Don’t.Never,ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.
One day,in the sixth grade,a black-haired woman was introduced to our class:Mrs Reese.Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club.She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.
I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings.The bell rang,and to my shock,no one went up to Mrs Reese.I was under strict orders to go straight home.But that day,I stayed.I asked Mrs Reese when the club started.
“We could begin right now if you like,” she said with a smile.I felt beautiful.That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house.I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favourite food in Spanish.And I learned,“Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons ”
I wanted to say “Yes”,but Mum’s words held me back.
I begged my mother all summer and into fall,well after Spanish Club had dissolved.I wept at night sometimes,so worried that Mrs Reese and her family would move away.
At some point,I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon,I rode out to Mrs Reese’s house.
The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind:We had tea.She painted my toenails red.We made a garlicky picadillo.We spoke in Spanish.In Spanish,my voice was loud and romantic.This is the real me!I remember thinking.
My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs Reese’s house.But four decades later,I still remember that day and the life she showed me,proof of a possible future.
24.What kind of family was the author from
A.Hard-up. B.Two-parent.
C.Stress-free. D.Disease-ridden.

D.She hoped to befriend the owner of her dreamt house.
26.The author went to Mrs Reese’s house .
A.with the help of her tears
B.while no one was noticing
C.with her mother’s permission
D.just before the lady moved away

C.The power of self-confidence.
D.The importance of independence.

Recently,many e-commerce platforms have been uncovered that they are cheating their frequent customers.Their ways are pretty clever.When there are new users or conservative old users,they will give a quite appealing price to attract them into registering and buying goods.However,their big data is not that friendly to the stable users and frequent visitors.The system always offers them higher price for the same products or service.How does this happen According to the data analysis,the system knows clearly that although they feel the price is high,they will finally pay the bill.By collecting and analysing users’ profiles,buying habits and other information,big data recommends the same products to different users with different prices.
Companies also try other ways to make money,making online consumption far more worrying.For example,video websites always offer 120 seconds’ advertisements,which drives people crazy.And even if you pay for the membership to get rid of the ads,you have to “enjoy” 15-second “private” ads.By broadcasting them,companies make huge profits—second to the membership fees.Also,owning 100Mbps network,you still put up with the slow speed when you are downloading a song.You have no choice but to become a VIP when you seek high quality services.Users seem to be lambs among wolves.Even though they say,“Since you have money,I’ll charge you more”,we can’t do anything about it.
It pains us that we haven’t figured out a way to deal with the problem.Not finding a way to fight back,we can’t do anything but accept them passively.
28.How does big data serve companies according to the text
A.By being kind to all users.
B.By giving a discount to stable users.
C.By attracting new users by analysing their shopping habits.
D.By recommending the same products with higher prices to regular users.
29.What do we know from the second paragraph
A.Membership can rid you of all the ads.
B.Only by being a VIP can you get a better service.
C.The slow download speed is due to your poor network.
D.Advertising income is the biggest income for video websites.
30.What is the author’s attitude towards the chances of finding a way to fight back
A.Uncertain. B.Casual.
C.Negative. D.Positive.
31.What is the main idea of the text
A.The big data provides helpful information to users.
B.We have to accept online consumption as it is.
C.There exist many online consumption traps.
D.Regular customers are richer.
D
One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don’t like,we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature,or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different.However,it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place.We’ve judged it as bad,rather than saying,“It’s not bad or good,and it just is it.”
In one of my books,I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”.Some readers said it’s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However,it’s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead,you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do:how other people act at work,how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they’re that way.It will save you a lot of sadness,because you’ll no longer say,“Oh.I wish bad things didn’t happen!”
Does it mean you can never change things Not at all.But change things not because you can’t accept things as they are,but because you enjoy the process of changing,learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others,to grow as a person,to make a difference in this world.That’s the correct path you choose to take,because you enjoy that path.Therefore,when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.
32.The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because .
A.it is our natural emotion in the life
B.culture asks us to be different from others
C.everyone has their own opinions on things
D.we dislike something in the beginning
33.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Acting well at work and in politics.
B.Feeling depressed for the news media.
C.Accepting and understanding what has happened.
D.Saying something negative when bad things come.
34.What are you advised according to the last paragraph
A.Help others and make a difference.
B.Enjoy what you have to do in the work.
C.Judge yourself and make a wish for you.
D.Try a new way when making the world better.
35.What is the main theme of the passage
A.Accepting can make our life happier and better.
B.Expecting things to be different gives us hope.
C.Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness.
D.Judging good or bad is important for our world.

Tips to Boost Your Confidence
36 Here are some solutions to boost your confidence in the long run.
Always think positively.
We all have negative voices inside our head. 37 Start out slowly and push yourself to think of three good things about yourself every morning.
38
Take the time to look within yourself and assess what is possible to change and what is out of reach.It is important to focus on changing the things you have control over,because this is where you will see the most self-improvement.Make a list of three things that you would like to improve on and then under each item write a few bullet points on how you will go about making this change.
Focus on the small steps for signs of improvement.
Make sure to focus on smaller victories.It is often harder for individuals to see their own self-improvement when they are looking at the long term,but it is easier to pinpoint changes when you are focusing on daily accomplishments. 39 Whatever it is makes sure you follow through and then acknowledge your achievements by making a list and posting it somewhere easily in view,because small steps always add up in the end.
Stop comparing yourself to others.
One of the most common pitfalls(陷阱)that humans are guilty of is comparing themselves with each other.It is important to remember that what appears on the surface is not always what is reality.If you feel like you are constantly overwhelmed by trying to keep up with others,make a marked effort to limit your usage of social media. 40
A.Be realistic with what you can change.
B.Try to understand body languages of others.
C.Building confidence takes time and patience.
D.Practice being award of how you hold yourself during the day.
E.The good news is that we can change these voices to only say positive things instead.
F.Start small and have a daily goal of one instance where you practice defending yourself.
G.You will be surprised with all the free time you have to do other things and best of all you will have a clear,more confident self.
