选择题部分
第一部分 听力（略）
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Just over a year ago, my iPhone was picked. My first thought was to replace it. But I stopped myself and asked a question: Does owning a smartphone make my life better, or worse I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 flip phone and began my post-smartphone life.
One day after I made the switch, my wife, daughter and I were in Washington visiting a museum. By afternoon, I started acting like a true addict. I used my wife's smartphone to check Gmail. The initial rush of seeing so many unread emails was spoiled ( 破 坏) by a work-related message. For the next half-hour or so, I walked around thinking about that message instead of being present at the museum. I was physically there, but my mind was focused on work.
The most immediate advantage of not owning a smartphone, I quickly learned, is the ability to immerse ( 沉 浸) yourself in social situations. Without a smartphone to look at, you don't have much of a choice but to be present, and other people — whether it's a colleague ( 同事) or a stranger on social media — can't enter your life easily at inconvenient times. So I made my short-term experiment permanent.
Do I miss Google Maps Kind of, but I've also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it's nice to ask people for directions. What about Uber and Lyft Not having them has encouraged me to ride my bike more, which has been great for my health and saved me hundreds of dollars. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month. I have no data plan, no expensive phone to make payments on, no apps to buy.

When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition (定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”
London was founded by the Romans around 2, 000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度) than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.
In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs on existing buildings.
“Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural (乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long - term thinking,”Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City six years ago, said. “We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It's about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.
London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation ( 转 变 ) than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible — the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.
24. What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities
A. Its smaller population.
B. Its locals' requirements.
C. Its government's strict law.
D. Its wider area of green space.
25. What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph
A. The values of newly-founded parks.
B. The importance of his movement.
C. The influence of green space on cities.
D. The preparation for setting up a movement.
26. What would be the best title for the text
A. London is leading the world in park construction
B. London becomes the world's first National Park City
C. London is listed as the world's most-visited city
D. London has built the world's first underground park
C
When someone asks me what I do first thing in the morning I feel ashamed. Then, I have to shamefully admit that I turn my alarm off on my phone and scroll (滚屏) through WeChat. Before I've even had the chance to brush my teeth or wash my face I'm already right away attracted by whatever people are doing online. And I know it needs to change.
But the last time I was asked this question was about two months ago and have I changed my ways Not even a little bit. We all know how unproductive social media can be. So why is it so easy to get addicted to (沉溺于) a huge mass of pretty pictures, and funny behavior and ideas And why is it so hard to change Lisa Lewis, a doctor in Brookline tells me the answer is simple. “It's because the point of these apps is to keep you looking,” she says. “They want you to buy, and get you to follow and like. Their only purpose is to win your attention.”
She says you must have a purpose when it comes to using any social media apps. “Don't just go on and scroll,” she explains. “Just like you wouldn't walk up to the refrigerator and stare at what's inside for no reason, don't do the same with social media.” If social media is reducing your productivity and overall health, Lewis offers these steps:
First, set a goal whenever you use a social media app. If you use WeChat to get inspiration to exercise, do that and then get off it. Next, you can use a timer. These days you can set a timer for how many hours a day you spend on social media. Set it and stick to it. And finally, you can create a prize to strengthen the behavior. When you set that timer and stick to it, positively strengthen the behavior with anything from tasty food to things you've been eyeing on Amazon.
27. What can we say about the author according to Paragraph 1
A. She is shy about answering others' questions online.
B. She cares little about other people's life.
C. She works busily early in the morning.
D. She is a heavy user of social media.
28. Why is it difficult to beat the addiction mentioned in Paragraph 2 according to Lewis
A. The apps are aimed at attracting users.
B. Social media are a good way to kill time.
C. People want to communicate with friends.
D. Online information is key to most people's life.
29. Why does Lewis mention the refrigerator
A. To show how attractive social media could be.
B. To discuss why social media reduce productivity.
C. To explain one should use social media when necessary.
D. To prove some content of social media is useful.
30. What does the underlined part “the behavior” refer to
A. Drawing inspiration from social media.
B. Using social media according to a timer.
C. Trying to save money when shopping online.
D. Learning to pay no attention to things you badly want.

根据短文内容，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。
Resolutions that you can actually keep
With the coming of a new semester (学期), now is the best time to think about some cool resolutions (决心). 31 One of the reasons why the success rate is so low is that people often set goals that are very difficult to achieve. If you want to stick to what you resolve, check out these resolutions that you can actually keep.
Reading
People often resolve to “read more”, but this is a very broad term. 32
Volunteering
Have you ever wanted to try volunteering There are hundreds of interesting volunteer programs these days, so pick one and put it on your new resolution list.
Fitness
Weight loss is always a resolution. The key to success here is to break the resolution down to smaller and more realistic goals. If you resolve to lose 2 pounds each month, and you follow this plan, you will end up losing 24 pounds in a year, which is still a great achievement. And make a better resolution than just “work out more”. 33
Taking classes
Is there anything you have always wanted to learn 34 Some programs can be taken in just a few periods, which makes this resolution easy to keep.
Biking
Every year, many people resolve to use their bikes more than they did the year before. 35 Again, being reasonable (合理的) is the key here.
A. So pick the volunteer program that suits you.
B. Many people want to spend time with their families.
C. Taking the stairs instead of using the lift is a good example.
D. It's better to choose several books that you really want to read.
E. Take advantage of various programs to develop the skills you want to have.
F. Unfortunately, almost 90% of people who make new resolutions fail to keep them.
G. To avoid breaking this resolution, set an exact number of miles you will ride each month.

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。
How can I be happy It's a question many spend their whole lives asking as they search for a key to unlock everlasting happiness. Even scientists are trying their best to find the answer to the question. In fact, researchers from more than 60 countries met in Melbourne, Australia, in July for the International Positive Psychology Association's 6th World Congress to discuss what does and does not make people happy. Kira Newman, the managing editor of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Magazine, was among the attendees. She heard many ideas concerning what can influence happiness and give our lives greater meaning, but three insights stood out.
Nobody wants to be alone 100% of the time, and many of us feel happy when we're with other people. But according to researchers at the Higher School of Economics University in Moscow, Russia, people who learn to enjoy solitude (孤独) are likely to be more positive. It's about putting time aside to focus on individual interests or even just relax. And during that period of time, we can change our viewpoint so the experience of being alone is uplifting rather than discouraging. That small change could help give us peace of mind.
We all know exercise is good for our health, emotionally and physically. But researcher Sarah Pressman and her workmates found feeling active played a large part in linking positive emotions to how long we live. Her team described feeling active as being full of life and energy.
According to expert Roy Baumeister, the happier a person is, the more they consider and look forward to their future. In doing so, these people may set more goals and keep their present behavior in check by imagining the outlook they could have years in the future. It's a simple act, but if we manage to do it, the practice could actually give us a better future!

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Just over a year ago, my iPhone was picked. My first thought was to replace it. But I stopped myself and asked a question: Does owning a smartphone make my life better, or worse I decided to try living for a time without a smartphone. So I bought an old, $30 flip phone and began my post-smartphone life.
One day after I made the switch, my wife, daughter and I were in Washington visiting a museum. By afternoon, I started acting like a true addict. I used my wife's smartphone to check Gmail. The initial rush of seeing so many unread emails was spoiled ( 破 坏) by a work-related message. For the next half-hour or so, I walked around thinking about that message instead of being present at the museum. I was physically there, but my mind was focused on work.
The most immediate advantage of not owning a smartphone, I quickly learned, is the ability to immerse ( 沉 浸) yourself in social situations. Without a smartphone to look at, you don't have much of a choice but to be present, and other people — whether it's a colleague ( 同事) or a stranger on social media — can't enter your life easily at inconvenient times. So I made my short-term experiment permanent.
Do I miss Google Maps Kind of, but I've also discovered that not having it makes driving safer. I now check a map before I leave the house and write down basic directions. This keeps me focused on the road rather than the phone. If I get lost, it's nice to ask people for directions. What about Uber and Lyft Not having them has encouraged me to ride my bike more, which has been great for my health and saved me hundreds of dollars. On the subject of money: My phone bill is now down to $30 a month. I have no data plan, no expensive phone to make payments on, no apps to buy.

When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition (定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”
London was founded by the Romans around 2, 000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度) than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.
In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs on existing buildings.
“Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural (乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long - term thinking,”Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City six years ago, said. “We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It's about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.
London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation ( 转 变 ) than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible — the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.
24. What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities
A. Its smaller population.
B. Its locals' requirements.
C. Its government's strict law.
D. Its wider area of green space.
25. What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph
A. The values of newly-founded parks.
B. The importance of his movement.
C. The influence of green space on cities.
D. The preparation for setting up a movement.
26. What would be the best title for the text
A. London is leading the world in park construction
B. London becomes the world's first National Park City
C. London is listed as the world's most-visited city
D. London has built the world's first underground park

When someone asks me what I do first thing in the morning I feel ashamed. Then, I have to shamefully admit that I turn my alarm off on my phone and scroll (滚屏) through WeChat. Before I've even had the chance to brush my teeth or wash my face I'm already right away attracted by whatever people are doing online. And I know it needs to change.
But the last time I was asked this question was about two months ago and have I changed my ways Not even a little bit. We all know how unproductive social media can be. So why is it so easy to get addicted to (沉溺于) a huge mass of pretty pictures, and funny behavior and ideas And why is it so hard to change Lisa Lewis, a doctor in Brookline tells me the answer is simple. “It's because the point of these apps is to keep you looking,” she says. “They want you to buy, and get you to follow and like. Their only purpose is to win your attention.”
She says you must have a purpose when it comes to using any social media apps. “Don't just go on and scroll,” she explains. “Just like you wouldn't walk up to the refrigerator and stare at what's inside for no reason, don't do the same with social media.” If social media is reducing your productivity and overall health, Lewis offers these steps:
First, set a goal whenever you use a social media app. If you use WeChat to get inspiration to exercise, do that and then get off it. Next, you can use a timer. These days you can set a timer for how many hours a day you spend on social media. Set it and stick to it. And finally, you can create a prize to strengthen the behavior. When you set that timer and stick to it, positively strengthen the behavior with anything from tasty food to things you've been eyeing on Amazon.
27. What can we say about the author according to Paragraph 1
A. She is shy about answering others' questions online.
B. She cares little about other people's life.
C. She works busily early in the morning.
D. She is a heavy user of social media.
28. Why is it difficult to beat the addiction mentioned in Paragraph 2 according to Lewis
A. The apps are aimed at attracting users.
B. Social media are a good way to kill time.
C. People want to communicate with friends.
D. Online information is key to most people's life.
29. Why does Lewis mention the refrigerator
A. To show how attractive social media could be.
B. To discuss why social media reduce productivity.
C. To explain one should use social media when necessary.
D. To prove some content of social media is useful.
30. What does the underlined part “the behavior” refer to
A. Drawing inspiration from social media.
B. Using social media according to a timer.
C. Trying to save money when shopping online.
D. Learning to pay no attention to things you badly want.

Resolutions that you can actually keep
With the coming of a new semester (学期), now is the best time to think about some cool resolutions (决心). 31 One of the reasons why the success rate is so low is that people often set goals that are very difficult to achieve. If you want to stick to what you resolve, check out these resolutions that you can actually keep.
Reading
People often resolve to “read more”, but this is a very broad term. 32
Volunteering
Have you ever wanted to try volunteering There are hundreds of interesting volunteer programs these days, so pick one and put it on your new resolution list.
Fitness
Weight loss is always a resolution. The key to success here is to break the resolution down to smaller and more realistic goals. If you resolve to lose 2 pounds each month, and you follow this plan, you will end up losing 24 pounds in a year, which is still a great achievement. And make a better resolution than just “work out more”. 33
Taking classes
Is there anything you have always wanted to learn 34 Some programs can be taken in just a few periods, which makes this resolution easy to keep.
Biking
Every year, many people resolve to use their bikes more than they did the year before. 35 Again, being reasonable (合理的) is the key here.
A. So pick the volunteer program that suits you.
B. Many people want to spend time with their families.
C. Taking the stairs instead of using the lift is a good example.
D. It's better to choose several books that you really want to read.
E. Take advantage of various programs to develop the skills you want to have.
F. Unfortunately, almost 90% of people who make new resolutions fail to keep them.
G. To avoid breaking this resolution, set an exact number of miles you will ride each month.

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。
How can I be happy It's a question many spend their whole lives asking as they search for a key to unlock everlasting happiness. Even scientists are trying their best to find the answer to the question. In fact, researchers from more than 60 countries met in Melbourne, Australia, in July for the International Positive Psychology Association's 6th World Congress to discuss what does and does not make people happy. Kira Newman, the managing editor of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Magazine, was among the attendees. She heard many ideas concerning what can influence happiness and give our lives greater meaning, but three insights stood out.
Nobody wants to be alone 100% of the time, and many of us feel happy when we're with other people. But according to researchers at the Higher School of Economics University in Moscow, Russia, people who learn to enjoy solitude (孤独) are likely to be more positive. It's about putting time aside to focus on individual interests or even just relax. And during that period of time, we can change our viewpoint so the experience of being alone is uplifting rather than discouraging. That small change could help give us peace of mind.
We all know exercise is good for our health, emotionally and physically. But researcher Sarah Pressman and her workmates found feeling active played a large part in linking positive emotions to how long we live. Her team described feeling active as being full of life and energy.
According to expert Roy Baumeister, the happier a person is, the more they consider and look forward to their future. In doing so, these people may set more goals and keep their present behavior in check by imagining the outlook they could have years in the future. It's a simple act, but if we manage to do it, the practice could actually give us a better future!
