A
As the capital city of France, Paris has endured as an important city for more than 2,000 years. Take an overview of the top tourist attractions in Paris.
Place des Vosges
The Place des Vosges, formerly called Place Royale, was the prototype (原型) for all residential squares in Europe. All houses were built, using the same design: red brick and steep pitched blues late roofs. Not only is it shaped like a true square, but also it is the first city square planned by a king (Henry Ⅳ in the early 17th century) . Third, it turned the Marais into a fashionable spot in the decades before the French Revolution.
Moulin Rouge
1889is known as the year when France’s most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, was constructed. It’s also the year the Moulin Rouge opened its doors as an entertainment venue. It has been the subject of numerous films for many years.
Conciergerie
The Conciergerie was built to be the main palace for French kings who, over the centuries, enlarged it. Its Great Hall was one of the largest in Europe. The palace later became a tribunal (法庭) and prison, with famous prisoners including Marie Antoinette. Today the Conciergerie is a popular tourist attraction in Paris but also still serves as courts.
Palais Garnier
Architect Charles Garnier spared no ornate (华丽的) detail when designing the Palais Garnier in the 19th century. Perhaps this is why the building was the most expensive of its era. Seating nearly 2,000 people, the Palais Garnier is home to the National Opera of Paris. It is the star of the novel and subsequent films, Phantom of the Opera. The Palais Garnier is still in use today though mainly for ballet and is also home to the opera library museum.
21. What made Place des Vosges famous in Europe
A. It was designed by Henry Ⅳ.
B. It had very beautiful red bricks.
C. It was a famous prison in the 14th century.
D. It was a good model for European residential squares.
22. Where can people enjoy wonderful operas
A. At Moulin Rouge. B. At Palais Garnier.
C. At Conciergerie. D. At Place des Vosges.
23. In which section of a newspaper can we read this text
A. Advertisement. B. Lifestyle. C. Tourism. D. Health and Diet.
B
For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden precious stones in secondhand shops. After all, one person’s garbage maybe another person’s treasure. I can spend hours sorting through boxes of old photography.
Two years ago, I came across a collection of loose, dusty photos. I looked to see if there were any names on the backs. I thought that if these were mine or my family’s, I’d want someone to return them to me. So I made it my goal to do so for others.
Since then, I’ve visited secondhand shops weekly, and have collected more than 50,000 of these items. I organize them in big boxes all over my house in New York.
I’ve also set up a social media account to help reunite items with their owners or other family members. The first item I posted was a videotape of a family holiday and I digitized (数字化) it. It was a video of two parents and a son of university ageonatripinthe1990s—the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My fans on social media contacted the sports departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches from the 1990s if they recognized the student. At last, the family was found. They couldn’t believe it and was overjoyed to be reunited with the tape. Then, the family revisited some of the memories together.
People are often quite emotional when seeing the items again—most of these items are lost after a house move or a family death, because they thought they would never see these items again. I have some rules, including not sharing sensitive photographs and removing posts if the family does not want their memories online. I want to encourage people to protect their own family history so that they don’t get lost.
24. Why did the author return old photos two years ago
A. To discover more stories behind them. B. To exchange for more valuable items.
C. To do what he thought was worth doing. D. To avoid more rubbish around in community.
25. How did the family reunite with the videotape
A. With the help of the author and his fans. B. By seeing the digitized tape on a poster.
C. By recalling the past with the family. D. Through a T-shirt with the family names.
26. What’s the probable reaction of people seeing the lost items again
A. They feel at a loss. B. They clean them again.
C. They tend to remove them. D. They’re filled with strong emotions.
27. What is a rule observed by the author
A. Throwing the items into the rubbish. B. Deleting the online posts if not permitted.
C. Returning lost items to social organizations. D. Giving up social media as much as possible.
C
Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times, but most importantly, it’s driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.
Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France’s TGV in the early 1980s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speedup. China has built around 42,000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70,000 kilometers by 2035.
But the United States detoured the revolution. For the rich and economically successful nation on the planet, with an increasingly urbanized population of more than 300 million, it is increasingly difficult to give a good reason. Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950s. Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or the headache-causing stress of an airport and airline network.
“Many Americans have no concept of high-speed rail and fail to see its value,” says William C. Vantuono, editor-in-chief of Railway Age, North America’s oldest railroad industry publication.
“It’s logical that the United States hasn’t yet developed a nationwide high-speed network, ”says Scott Sherin, chief commercial officer of train builder Alstom’s US division. “For decades, traveling by car wasn’t a hardship, but as highway congestion (堵塞) gets worse, we’ve reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternatives.”
“The magic numbers are centers of population with around three million people that are 200 to 500 miles apart, giving a trip time of less than three hours—preferably two hours. Where those conditions apply in Europe and Asia, high-speed rail reduces air’s share of the market from 100% to near zero. The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally,” adds Scott Sherin.
28. What is paragraph l mainly about
A. The value of high-speed trains. B. The growth of high-speed trains.
C. The hardship of high-speed trains D. The revolution of high-speed trains.
29. What does the author convey to us in paragraph 2
A. France represents the global trend of high-speed trains.
B. Japan is the last to build high-speed trains.
C. China plans to make the highest-speed trains.
D. China is rapidly developing high-speed trains.
30. What does the underlined word “detoured” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Didn’t protest. B. Didn’t get involved in.
C. Didn’t give up. D. Didn’t change.
31. What does Scott Sherin think of the United States developing high-speed trains
A. It should be flexible. B. It should be cautious.
C. It is losing its market share. D. It is developing high-speed rail.
D
Sleep is widely recognized as one of life’s necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior Insufficient sleep affect show likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal PLOS Biology.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted three studies looking at this “selfish” effect, analyzing changes in neural (神经系统的) activity and behavior that benefit others, and found it was common even after a small loss of sleep.
Research scientists Eti Ben Simon and Matthew Walker told that this finding was most surprising. “Even if we lose just one hour of sleep, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need,” said Ben Simon.
In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matthew Walker and their colleagues saw a 10% drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time (夏令时). This drop was not seen in states that don’t follow the one-hour forward. In the second study, the researchers looked at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. The areas of the brain associated with theory of mind were less active after sleep loss, this study found. In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that sleep quantity and quality both typically influenced emotional and social behavior. “These findings could suggest that once sleep time rises above some basic amount, sleep quality is the most critical factor that influences desire to help other people,” Dr. Ivana Rosenzweig, asleep physician said.
Ben Simon and Walker hope their research will allow people to regain a full night of sleep if necessary. “Sleep loss fundamentally changes the way we are social and emotional creatures,” Walker said.
32. What will happen if people lack sleep according to the researchers
A. It makes them kind and motivated B. It will cause damage to their health.
C. It will increase their choices to help others. D. It may discourage them from doing good deeds.
33. What can we know about the first study from the text
A. It was based on a database from advertisers.
B. It didn’t see a 10% drop in donations in all states.
C. It focused on the donation behavior of people.
D. It discovered the brainless active after sleep loss.
34. Which of the following can best describe the three studies
A. Boring B. Systematic. C. Unrealistic D. Subjective.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. Three Important Studies B. The Less Sleep, the More Selfish
C. A Delightful Finding about Sleep Loss D. Sleep Quality or Sleep Quantity Matters More

The tricky part about motivation is not starting, but staying motivated. Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives. 36 Here are some common reasons why you’re losing motivation.
Not Aiming High Enough
While setting easy goals will keep you motivated, it may harm your long-term motivation. 37 If you are used to staying within your comfort zone, you’ll be missing out on the satisfaction of achieving a life-changing goal. When you push yourself, you’ll be able to build unshakable confidence as you achieve goal after goal.
Letting Fear Control Your Mind And Actions
38 Instead of taking action and moving forward, you might get stuck where you are. You’ll unavoidably miss out on career and self-improvement opportunities if you don’t learn how to manage your fears. Fortunately, it can be overcome. One way to manage fear is to look for the root cause of your fear.
Facing your fear is the only way you’ll be able to become the best version of yourself. 39 Taking slow, thoughtful actions can have huge impacts on how you deal with your inside and outside world.
Unclear Vision
Uncertainty about the future is a fear that many of us deal with. It can be paralyzing. Instead of taking action, we start worrying about “What if ”—What if it doesn’t work out What if my dream isn’t truly my dream What if I don’t succeed If you have trouble creating a vision, then you’re at risk of drifting (漂泊) aimlessly through life. 40
A. Fear can prevent you from achieving your dreams.
B. You don’t need to deal with your fear overnight.
C. You will find it easy to get started and stay focused
D. However, fewer than 10 percent actually stick with their resolution.
E. If you make goals that are too achievable, you’ll get bored and lose interest.
F. When you look around one day and you’re living your dream, it’ll all be worth it.
G. On the contrary, you’ll be driven to struggle for excellence with purpose and passion.

For almost every morning, the sun rose to greet the day and the birds sang its songs outside an upstairs window of the house. Inside, Jeff and Jenna would wake up.
Usually, the brother and sister got along very well. They took turns nicely with the bathroom. They said “please” and “thank you” at breakfast. They often sat together on the school bus. Afterschool they worked together happily on their special project—their own backyard house.
But one gray morning they didn’t get along well at all! Maybe it was the weather, or maybe the birds slept late. But whatever it was, they got into an angry argument.
Jenna opened her eyes and stretched. Then she sat up and let her legs dangle (悬挂) over the edge of herbed—right in Jeff’s face. She didn’t mean it. It was just one of those things that happens with a bunkbed (双层床).
That morning Jeff was not in a very good mood.
“Jenna!” he shouted. “Get your silly feet out of my face!”
“My feet aren’t silly, and they’re not in your face!” she shouted back.
Before Jeff could answer, she skipped into the bathroom ahead of him. She took a very longtime brushing her teeth, washing up, and combing her hair.
“You’d better come out of that bathroom!” shouted Jeff, banging (猛敲) on the door.
“Jeff, ”said Mama, coming out of her bedroom, “you know better than to shout at your sister.”
“But she’s taking too long in the bathroom,” complained Jeff. “And she’s doing it on purpose!”
When Jeff banged on the door again, it opened and out came Jenna, all dressed up.
“Good morning, Mama,” she said, taking no notice of Jeff at all.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jeff and Jenna kept avoiding each other that day. “That’s enough, ”said Mama seriously.

W: I’d like to talk about this watch. It’s quite old, nearly sixty years old. It has a leather black band. The face of the watch is white and it’s square.
M: Why is this watch special, Helen
W: It’s my grandfather’s watch.
M: I want to hear the story about it.
W: He came to England more than fifty years ago and this is the watch he was wearing when he arrived here. When he came over here, he didn’t have much just a few pounds in his pocket. But this watch was a present to him from his grandfather, his twenty first birthday present, so it was really special to him and now it’s special to me.
M: Is it very valuable I mean, I know you don’t want to sell it but is it worth a lot of money
W: No, not at all. It doesn’t even tell the right time! It’s just an ordinary watch but it’s special to me because it really reminds me of my grandfather.
M: Is your grandfather still alive
W: No, he isn’t. He died 2 years ago.
M: So he left the watch to you in his will.
W: Yes, it will stay with me all my life.

M: Hello, teachers and students! Now I have an important announcement to make. There are a few changes that have been made to the visit. So, please pay full attention to what I’m saying next. We still have been arranged to pay a visit to the local museum this weekend, but this time it’s on Saturday not on Sunday. We are informed that the museum won’t open this Sunday due to some special reasons. And we are going to meet on the playground instead of the school gate at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. We will go directly thereby bus. You’d better wear comfortable shoes for long walks in the museum. Please bring a notebook with you and make some notes. We will have a discussion about it in the class meeting next Monday. Oh, I nearly forget to remind you of the rules. Don’t take pictures of the cultural relics. But if you do want to take a picture, you can do that in front of the museum. And nobody is allowed to touch anything there, or else they will be fined. Have a nice weekend!

My Opinion on Devoting One’s Life to One Thing
In today’s society, there is much discussion about whether it is wise to devote one’s entire life to one particular thing. Personally, I lean towards pursuing one goal in our lifetime.
On the one hand, when committed to a single goal, we will be able to invest more time, effort and energy in achieving it, which greatly enhances our chances of becoming successful. On the other hand, we might be easily to take our attention away if chasing various goals, leaving us less likely to succeed.
In conclusion, focused attention on one area has the potential to achieve greatness. Thus, it is vital to recognize one’s passion and pursue one’s goal with commitment.
第二节
参考范文：
Jeff and Jenna kept avoiding each other that day. They didn’t say “please” and “thank you” at breakfast as usual. They even didn’t sit together on the school bus, with Jenna sitting in the front and Jeff in the back. That afternoon they made a line down the middle of their backyard house to show which half was whose. Later they even took back the things they usually shared. They became so angry that they began shouting at each other even louder than before.
“That’s enough,” said Mama seriously. “Tell me what’s the trouble between you two!” asked Mama. The kids tried to remember, but in vain. Mama took them onto her laps and told them that everybody got into an argument once in a while even those who loved each other very much. We got angry, even called each other names and said things we really didn’t mean, but after a while it was over. Jeff and Jenna seen ed to understand, so they hugged and got along just beautifully as before.
