Kim Jae-geun, a softly-spoken 59-year-old man in South Korea, had spent many years in advertising before he no longer had the strength for it. So during the past seven years, instead of spending his days writing copy, Mr. Kimhas spent his evenings behind the counter of his bar, Seochon Blues, near Seoul’s government district. The place is also home to thousands of vinyl records (黑胶唱片) that he began collecting as a teenager. Customers can request their favourite songs there. The bar is often full of tired office workers, and 20-something people and local artists at weekends. “There’s a special wave,” Mr. Kim observed. “All the young people ask for very old songs.” he said.
Mr. Kim’s Seochon Blues is one of the dozens of “LP bars” in South Korea’s capital, many of which are run by men with similar stories. South Korean companies offer few opportunities to middle-aged workers who haven’t climbed through the ranks. Leaving their jobs in their fifties, with music collections becoming too large for their living rooms, a few who haven’t taken up work as taxi drivers or security guards began to make a living by opening such bars.
The first LP bars opened in the 1990s, possibly inspired by the “listening bars” that originated in mid-20th century Japan. Music enthusiasts would come to these bars to listen to imported records that were otherwise hard to come by. The LP bars have proliferated in recent years with more and more people loving going there, thus greatly benefiting the middle-aged owners.
All LP bars encourage nostalgia (怀旧). “I don’t like digitization or the isolated way people have now” said Lee Jae-jun, who left his job and also opened such a bar. He likes recalling the eighties and nineties and playing songs from people’s youth. “On the best days, regulars arrive for just one drink, and then I play old songs they like. And before you know it, it’s midnight and everyone goes home, drunk and happy,” said Lee Jae-jun.
56 What appears unusual for Mr. Kim in Seochon Blues
A. Teenagers collect different types of vinyl records.
B. The youth enjoy listening to old songs.
C. Artists try to get inspiration for writing songs.
D. People show off their success in advertisements.
57. What can be learned from Paragraph 2
A. Middle-aged workers are welcomed by small companies.
B. South Koreans prefer to live a quite relaxed life.
C. South Koreans tend to change their jobs constantly.
D. LP bars offer career opportunities to middle-aged workers.
58. What does the underlined word “proliferated” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Sprung up B. Survived. C. Died down. D. Returned.
59. Which of the following words can best describe the atmosphere of LP bars
A. Amazing and professional. B. Romantic and enjoyable.
C. Nostalgic and relaxed. D. Mysterious and encouraging.
60. What can be the best title for the text

【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段““There’s a special wave,” Mr. Kim observed. “All the young people ask for very old songs.” he said.(“有一股特殊的浪潮，”金先生说。“所有的年轻人都想要非常古老的歌曲。”他说)”可知，年轻人喜欢听老歌，这在Seochon Blues酒吧中显得很不寻常。故选B。
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“South Korean companies offer few opportunities to middle-aged workers who haven’t climbed through the ranks. Leaving their jobs in their fifties, with music collections becoming too large for their living rooms, a few who haven’t taken up work as taxi drivers or security guards began to make a living by opening such bars.(韩国公司很少给没有晋升的中年员工提供机会。他们在50多岁的时候离开了工作，因为音乐收藏太大，他们的客厅无法容纳，一些没有从事出租车司机或保安工作的人开始开这样的酒吧谋生)”可知，LP酒吧为中年员工提供了就业机会。故选D。
【58题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“The first LP bars opened in the 1990s, possibly inspired by the “listening bars” that originated in mid-20th century Japan. Music enthusiasts would come to these bars to listen to imported records that were otherwise hard to come by.(第一家LP酒吧在20世纪90年代开业，可能是受到了起源于20世纪中期日本的“聆听酒吧”的启发。音乐爱好者会来这些酒吧听进口唱片，否则那些唱片很难买到)”可知，近年来，越来越多的人喜欢去LP酒吧，LP酒吧的数量会激增，proliferated意为“激增”，和sprung up（涌现，迅速增长）意思接近。故选A。
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Customers can request their favourite songs there. The bar is often full of tired office workers, and 20-something people and local artists at weekends. “There’s a special wave,” Mr. Kim observed. “All the young people ask for very old songs.” he said.( 顾客可以在那里点播他们最喜欢的歌曲。酒吧里经常挤满了疲惫的上班族，还有20多岁的年轻人和周末的当地艺术家。“有一股特殊的浪潮，”金先生说。“所有的年轻人都想要非常古老的歌曲。”他说)”和文章最后一段“All LP bars encourage nostalgia (怀旧).(所有的LP酒吧都鼓励怀旧)”以及“He likes recalling the eighties and nineties and playing songs from people’s youth. “On the best days, regulars arrive for just one drink, and then I play old songs they like. And before you know it, it’s midnight and everyone goes home, drunk and happy,” said Lee Jae-jun.(他喜欢回忆八九十年代，演奏人们年轻时的歌曲。“在最好的日子里，常客们只来喝一杯，然后我就放他们喜欢的老歌。在你意识到之前，已经是午夜了，每个人都回家了，喝得醉醺醺的，很开心。”)”可推知，LP酒吧的氛围是让人感到放松的和怀旧的。故选C。
【60题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Mr. Kim’s Seochon Blues is one of the dozens of “LP bars” in South Korea’s capital, many of which are run by men with similar stories.(金先生的Seochon Blues是韩国首都数十家“LP酒吧”之一，其中许多酒吧的经营者都有类似的经历)”、文章第三段“The first LP bars opened in the 1990s, possibly inspired by the “listening bars” that originated in mid-20th century Japan. Music enthusiasts would come to these bars to listen to imported records that were otherwise hard to come by. The LP bars have proliferated in recent years with more and more people loving going there, thus greatly benefiting the middle-aged owners.(第一家LP酒吧在20世纪90年代开业，可能是受到了起源于20世纪中期日本的“聆听酒吧”的启发。音乐爱好者会来这些酒吧听进口唱片，否则很难买到。近年来，LP酒吧的数量激增，越来越多的人喜欢去那里，这给中年老板带来了很大的好处)”以及文章最后一段“All LP bars encourage nostalgia (怀旧).(所有的LP酒吧都鼓励怀旧)”可知，文章主要讲述了韩国LP酒吧的兴起，所以“韩国LP酒吧的兴起”可以作为文章标题。故选B。
C
Many people love the Halloween season, particularly young ones. It’s not hard to understand. The Halloween season is a time for fun-sized candy, giving rocks to trick or treaters, apple cider donuts, and frights. The very last-frights, are generally all in good fun. But can they be dangerous Can someone be scared to death
The key factor in an imagined scare-caused death is a little chemical that anyone who’s played a particularly intense game of hide-and-seek is very familiar with: adrenaline (肾上腺素). Fear puts the body in a state of severe emotional anxiety, which in turn causes the autonomic fight-or-flight response.
The fight-or-flight response is an evolutionary defence mechanism (机制) which acts in your best interest when there is a noticed threat. You sweat a lot, your anxiety is exacerbated, your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels are increased, and your heart rate is higher. Like a cornered animal, you’re a bit less reasonable, a bit stranger, but a bit more ready to survive.
Now, back to the adrenaline. Adrenaline causes all of these processes, but there’s just one organ, which, if overloaded, can lead to sudden death. The human body doesn’t immediately come to an end as soon as a kidney (肾) fails, but when a heart stops working, the whole business fails. This is what happens to your body during an adrenaline rush.
Adrenaline causes calcium (钙) to enter the heart at a higher rate, and when there’s more calcium rushing through the heart, it has harder time resetting to its normal resting rate. This can cause a dangerous condition, which prevents blood from pumping to the rest of the body. Without immediate treatment, this can lead to sudden death.
Of course, such cause of death isn’t unique to being scared. Any event that increases one’s adrenal level could lead to this dangerous condition. So if you are planning on scaring others the next Halloween season, be sure to do it in a controlled setting, especially if you have a history of heart problems.
61. What do we learn about the fight-or-flight response mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. It makes us think in a better way.
B. It prevents adrenaline from rising.
C. It has nothing to do with little kids.
D. It is meant to help us survive better.
62. The underlined word “exacerbated” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A. acquired B. relieved C. worsened D. addressed
63. What will probably happen during the dangerous condition according to Paragraph 5
A. Having a failed kidney.
B. Having faster blood circulation.
C. Having too much calcium in our blood.
D. Having irregular heartbeats.
64. We can learn from the passage that we should ________.
A. enjoy Halloween in a controlled way
B. avoid low blood glucose levels
C. exercise to protect ourselves from heart disease
D. avoid scaring others during the Halloween screen
65. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Is it enjoyable to frighten others
B. Is it possible to be scared to death
C. Why is too much adrenaline dangerous
D. What to watch out for during the Halloween season
【答案】61. D 62. C 63. D 64. A 65. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在万圣节时，人们因为恐怖而激动，体内产生的肾上腺素可能导致心脏病发作，甚至突然死亡。文章强调了这种死亡的原因是心脏的故障而非恐惧本身，而任何增加肾上腺素水平的事件都可能导致这种危险状况发生。因此，应该在受控制的情况下享受万圣节的乐趣。
【61题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The key factor in an imagined scare-caused death is a little chemical that anyone who’s played a particularly intense game of hide-and-seek is very familiar with: adrenaline (肾上腺素). Fear puts the body in a state of severe emotional anxiety, which in turn causes the autonomic fight-or-flight response.(想象中的恐惧导致死亡的关键因素是一种小化学物质，任何玩过特别激烈的捉迷藏游戏的人都非常熟悉：肾上腺素。恐惧使身体处于一种严重的情绪焦虑状态，进而引起自主神经系统的应战或逃跑反应)”可推知，战逃反应是有助于我们更好地生存。故选D。
【62题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“You sweat a lot(你出汗很多)”以及划线词后文的“your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels are increased, and your heart rate is higher.(你的血糖水平升高，心率加快)”可知，出汗很多，血糖上升，心率加快，此时焦虑程度更加严重。由此可知，划线词与C选项“worsened(加重，更糟糕)”为同义词。故选C。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Adrenaline causes calcium (钙) to enter the heart at a higher rate, and when there’s more calcium rushing through the heart, it has harder time resetting to its normal resting rate. (肾上腺素导致钙以更高的速率进入心脏，当有更多的钙通过心脏时，它很难恢复到正常的静息速率)”可知，在危险情况下，心跳是不规律的。故选D。
【64题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So if you are planning on scaring others the next Halloween season, be sure to do it in a controlled setting, especially if you have a history of heart problems.(所以，如果你打算在下一个万圣节吓唬别人，一定要在一个可控的环境中进行，尤其是如果你有心脏病史的话)”可知，文章建议在一个可控的环境中或者以一种可控的方式来享受万圣节。故选A。
【65题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The key factor in an imagined scare-caused death is a little chemical that anyone who’s played a particularly intense game of hide-and-seek is very familiar with: adrenaline (肾上腺素).

D
No business would welcome being compared to gambling. Yet that is what is happening to makers of video games. For years parents have complained that their children are “addicted” to their video games and smartphones. Today, however, even more doctors are using the term. On January 1 this year, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Are games really addictive Psychologists have different opinions. Those who don’t think so say that this is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock’n’roll, jazz, comic books, novels and even crossword puzzles, but it turns out that they are not as harmful as expected.
However, supporters argue that game developers have the motivation and the means to design their products to make them extremely attractive. For one thing, the business- model has changed: In the old days, games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from purchases of in-game goods, which ties playtime directly to revenue (收益). For another, game-makers combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. In this way products are constantly adjusted to encourage players’ spending. The biggest spenders are known as “whales”, a term that originated in casinos (赌场).
The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses will become more common. Anyway, being put together with gambling in the public mind, fairly or not, will not do the industry any good.
66. What do we know from Paragraph 1
A. It is not suitable to compare video games to gambling.
B. Parents complain about their children’s addiction to gambling.
C. Gaming addiction was officially recognized as a disease.
D. More doctors are against the use of the term “addicted”.
67. What does the underlined words “moral panic” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Unexpected addiction caused by science and technology.
B. Wrong judgment on how harmful something is.
C. Trouble caused by someone’s immoral behavior.
D. An astonishing claim of the unexpected panic.
68. What do games developers do to make games attractive
A. They don’t charge players for in-game goods.
B. They keep players’ video game machines updated.
C. They reward big spenders with a unique title.
D. They adjust products based on received data.
69. In the last paragraph, the author aims to _______.
A. offer a suggestion
B. make a prediction
C. give a warning
D. put forward a solution
70. What is the best title for the text
A. Addiction: A Warning to the Gaming Industry
B. Addiction: Not a Blame on Games
C. Games: A New Kind of Gambling
D. Games: The Cause of Mental Disorder
【答案】66. C 67. B 68. D 69. C 70. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章开篇提到世卫组织把游戏成瘾列为一种疾病，就“游戏真的会让人上瘾吗”这个问题，介绍了心理学家们给出的不同的观点，作者也对此发表了忠告。
【66题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“On January 1 this year, ‘gaming disorder’ — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO). (今年1月1日，‘游戏障碍’（这病）得到了世界卫生组织的认可，‘游戏障碍’指的是尽管会造成伤害，但仍无法控制地玩游戏)”可知，游戏上瘾被权威机构WHO认定为疾病。故选C项。
【67题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前一句“Are games really addictive Psychologists have different opinions. (游戏真的会让人上瘾吗？)”，划线词所在句“Those who don’t think so say that this is just another moral panic. (那些不这么认为的人说，这只是又一次moral panic。)”，其中another指代众多类似当中的另外一个，根据下一句“Similar warnings have been given about television, rock’n’roll, jazz, comic books, novels and even crossword puzzles, but it turns out that they are not as harmful as expected. (对于电视、摇滚乐、爵士乐、漫画书、小说，甚至是填字游戏，人们也给出了类似的警告，但事实证明，它们并没有人们想象的那么有害。)”可知，当以上提及的电视、摇滚乐等出现在人们视野的时候，人们都认为它们对人类是有害的，并因此发出要抵制这些东西的警告，但是事实证明它们没有预想的那么有害，属于一场虚惊，只不过是人们的moral panic，可表达为“道德恐慌”，与B项“Wrong judgment on how harmful something is. (对某物危害性的错误判断。)”。故选B项。
【68题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, supporters argue that games developers have the motivation and the means to design their products to make them extremely attractive. (然而，支持者认为，游戏开发者有动机和手段来设计他们的产品，使其具有极大的吸引力。)”，以及“For another, games-makers combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. In this way products are constantly adjusted to encourage players’ spending. (另一方面，游戏开发者将心理学理论和数据结合起来，这有助于他们最大化游戏时间。智能手机和现代电子游戏机使用它们的永久互联网连接将游戏玩法数据传回给开发者。通过这种方式，游戏会不断调整产品以鼓励玩家消费。)”可知，游戏开发者不但掌握游戏者心理，还实时掌握着游戏者的游戏数据，并根据这些数据对游戏进行调整，使游戏有新鲜感，使游戏者玩得停不下手。故选D项。
【69题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. (游戏行业应该意识到，在现实世界中，它存在一个问题，而且这个问题正在加剧。)”，以及最后一句“Anyway, being put together with gambling in the public mind, whether it is fairly or not, will not do the industry any good. (无论如何，在公众的心目中与赌博放在一起，无论公平与否，都不会给这个行业带来任何好处。)”可推知，作者在最后一段中向游戏业发出了警示：在现实世界中，游戏行业有着持续的问题，且人们将它与赌博业相提并论，这对这个行业发展无益。故选C项。
【70题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Today, however, even more doctors are using the term. On January 1 this year, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO).(然而今天，更多的医生在使用这个术语。今年1月1日，‘游戏障碍’（这病）得到了世界卫生组织的认可，‘游戏障碍’指的是尽管会造成伤害，但仍无法控制地玩游戏。)”和文章最后一段“The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses will become more common. Anyway, being put together with gambling in the public mind, fairly or not, will not do the industry any good.(游戏行业应该意识到，在现实世界中，它存在一个问题，而且这个问题正在加剧。既然游戏成瘾得到了世界卫生组织的正式承认，诊断将变得更加普遍。无论如何，在公众心目中，将赌博与公平与否放在一起，对这个行业都没有任何好处。)”可知，文章主要讲述了世卫组织把游戏成瘾列为一种疾病，就“游戏真的会让人上瘾吗”这个问题，介绍了心理学家们给出的不同的观点，作者也对此发表了忠告。由此可知，A项：Addiction: A Warning to the Gaming Industry(上瘾：对游戏产业的警告)为合适的标题。故选A。
阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and began to cry. “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!”
Shyly, proud-bursting, I stammered that I had. She poured out her praise. Why, this poem was nothing short of genius! I glowed.
I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for the arrival of my father. But he did not return until an hour late for dinner. “Ben, a beautiful thing has happened,” my mother began. “Buddy has written his first poem! And it’s beautiful, absolutely amazing.”
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
That poem was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. I could hear my father breathing. “I think it’s lousy,” my father said.
“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written,” my mother was saying. “He needs encouragement.”
They quarreled over it. I couldn’t stand it another second. I ran from the dinning room bawling.
Up in my room I threw myself on the bed and sobbed.
A few years later I took a second look at that first poem; it was a pretty lousy poem. But it wasn’t until years later that the true meaning of that painful “first poem” experience dawned on me. As I became a professional writer, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “Buddy, did you really write this I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with “I think it’s lousy.” A writer — in fact every one of us in life — needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows; and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”
71 How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 2 (no more than 8 words )
_________________________________________________________________
72. Why did the writer’s parents quarrel at dinner (no more than 10 words )
_________________________________________________________________
73. What did the writer think of his first poem when he grew older (no more than 8 words )
_________________________________________________________________
74. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about (no more than 15 words )
_________________________________________________________________
75. What kind of parents do you need in life (no more than 20 words )
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】71. This poem was well-done./This poem was the same work of genius./This poem was almost wonderful/excellent.
72. Because they had different attitude towards the poem./Because they had different opinions about the poem.
73. It was lousy./It was very bad./It was a pretty lousy poem.
74. Everyone needs a loving mother and a strict father.
75. I need a mother who can encourage me and a father who can caution me. /I need parents who both love me./I need parents who always encourage me.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍的是作者父母对作者在七八岁时写的第一首诗歌的不同评价让作者认识到一个作家的成长既需要母亲的鼓励，也需要父亲的鞭策。
【71题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第一段中的“My mother read the little poem and began to cry. ‘Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!’(母亲读了这首小诗，哭了起来。“伙计，你不会真的写了这首非常非常漂亮的诗吧!”)”可知，母亲表扬作者的诗歌写的很好，第二段中的“Shyly, proud-bursting, I stammered that I had. She poured out her praise.( 我羞涩地，骄傲地，结结巴巴地说是我。她倾吐她的赞美之词。)”可知，作者听到母亲对诗歌的赞美之词感到非常的高兴，由此可推断，划线句子的意思是对作者诗歌的赞美。故答案为This poem was well-done./This poem was the same work of genius./This poem was almost wonderful/excellent.。
【72题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“That poem was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. I could hear my father breathing. ‘I think it’s lousy,’ my father said.( 那首诗只有十行。但这似乎要花好几个小时。我能听到父亲的呼吸声。“我觉得很糟糕，”父亲说。)”可知，父亲对作者写的诗歌并不满意，结合第三段中的“‘Ben, a beautiful thing has happened,’ my mother began. ‘Buddy has written his first poem! And it’s beautiful, absolutely amazing.’(“本，一件美好的事情发生了，”我妈妈开始说。“巴迪写了他的第一首诗!它很美，绝对令人惊叹。”)”可知，母亲认为作者写的是个很精彩，由此可以推断，父母两人吵架是因为他们的观点不一致。故答案是Because they had different attitude towards the poem./Because they had different opinions about the poem.。
【73题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“A few years later I took a second look at that first poem; it was a pretty lousy poem.(几年后，我重新审视了那首诗；这是一首非常糟糕的诗。)”可知，几年后，作者在看到自己写的第一首诗歌后，感觉这首诗歌真的很糟糕。故答案是It was lousy./ It was very bad. /It was a pretty lousy poem.。
【74题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的“A writer — in fact every one of us in life — needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows; and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”(一个作家——实际上是生活中的每一个人——都需要那种慈母般的力量，所有的创作都源自这种力量；然而，如果没有父亲的告诫，它是不完整的，甚至是误导的，最终是毁灭性的，“观察、倾听、审查、改善。”)”可知，作者认为生活中的每一个人只有一个爱自己的母亲是不完美的，还需要一个严厉的父亲才能让自己不断的进步，所以最后一段主要阐述的是人人都需要一位慈母和一位严父。故答案是Everyone needs a loving mother and a strict father.。
【75题详解】
开放性题目。根据介绍的作者的写的第一首诗歌的经历以及最后一段中的“A writer—in fact every one of us in life—needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows; and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”(一个作家——实际上是生活中的每一个人——都需要那种慈母般的力量，所有的创作都源自这种力量；然而，如果没有父亲的告诫，它是不完整的，甚至是误导的，最终是毁灭性的，“观察、倾听、审查、改善。”)”可知，人们都需要一个鼓励自己，爱护自己的而母亲，也需要一位客观公正的父亲，所以在生活中，我需要的也是一位如同作者一样的父母，即我需要一位鼓励我的母亲和一位鞭策我的父亲。故答案是I need a mother who can encourage me and a father who can caution me. /I need parents who both love me. /I need parents who always encourage me.。

Kim Jae-geun, a softly-spoken 59-year-old man in South Korea, had spent many years in advertising before he no longer had the strength for it. So during the past seven years, instead of spending his days writing copy, Mr. Kimhas spent his evenings behind the counter of his bar, Seochon Blues, near Seoul’s government district. The place is also home to thousands of vinyl records (黑胶唱片) that he began collecting as a teenager. Customers can request their favourite songs there. The bar is often full of tired office workers, and 20-something people and local artists at weekends. “There’s a special wave,” Mr. Kim observed. “All the young people ask for very old songs.” he said.
Mr. Kim’s Seochon Blues is one of the dozens of “LP bars” in South Korea’s capital, many of which are run by men with similar stories. South Korean companies offer few opportunities to middle-aged workers who haven’t climbed through the ranks. Leaving their jobs in their fifties, with music collections becoming too large for their living rooms, a few who haven’t taken up work as taxi drivers or security guards began to make a living by opening such bars.
The first LP bars opened in the 1990s, possibly inspired by the “listening bars” that originated in mid-20th century Japan. Music enthusiasts would come to these bars to listen to imported records that were otherwise hard to come by. The LP bars have proliferated in recent years with more and more people loving going there, thus greatly benefiting the middle-aged owners.
All LP bars encourage nostalgia (怀旧). “I don’t like digitization or the isolated way people have now,” said Lee Jae-jun, who left his job and also opened such a bar. He likes recalling the eighties and nineties and playing songs from people’s youth. “On the best days, regulars arrive for just one drink, and then I play old songs they like. And before you know it, it’s midnight and everyone goes home, drunk and happy,” said Lee Jae-jun.
56. What appears unusual for Mr. Kim in Seochon Blues
A. Teenagers collect different types of vinyl records.
B. The youth enjoy listening to old songs.
C. Artists try to get inspiration for writing songs.
D. People show off their success in advertisements.
57. What can be learned from Paragraph 2
A. Middle-aged workers are welcomed by small companies.
B. South Koreans prefer to live a quite relaxed life.
C. South Koreans tend to change their jobs constantly.
D. LP bars offer career opportunities to middle-aged workers.
58 What does the underlined word “proliferated” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Sprung up B. Survived. C. Died down. D. Returned.
59. Which of the following words can best describe the atmosphere of LP bars
A. Amazing and professional. B. Romantic and enjoyable.
C. Nostalgic and relaxed. D. Mysterious and encouraging.
60. What can be the best title for the text
A. The stories behind Kim Jae-geun B. The rise of LP bars in South Korea
C. The popularity of music bands D. The influence of old records

Many people love the Halloween season, particularly young ones. It’s not hard to understand. The Halloween season is a time for fun-sized candy, giving rocks to trick or treaters, apple cider donuts, and frights. The very last-frights, are generally all in good fun. But can they be dangerous Can someone be scared to death
The key factor in an imagined scare-caused death is a little chemical that anyone who’s played a particularly intense game of hide-and-seek is very familiar with: adrenaline (肾上腺素). Fear puts the body in a state of severe emotional anxiety, which in turn causes the autonomic fight-or-flight response.
The fight-or-flight response is an evolutionary defence mechanism (机制) which acts in your best interest when there is a noticed threat. You sweat a lot, your anxiety is exacerbated, your blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels are increased, and your heart rate is higher. Like a cornered animal, you’re a bit less reasonable, a bit stranger, but a bit more ready to survive.
Now, back to the adrenaline. Adrenaline causes all of these processes, but there’s just one organ, which, if overloaded, can lead to sudden death. The human body doesn’t immediately come to an end as soon as a kidney (肾) fails, but when a heart stops working, the whole business fails. This is what happens to your body during an adrenaline rush.
Adrenaline causes calcium (钙) to enter the heart at a higher rate, and when there’s more calcium rushing through the heart, it has harder time resetting to its normal resting rate. This can cause a dangerous condition, which prevents blood from pumping to the rest of the body. Without immediate treatment, this can lead to sudden death.
Of course, such cause of death isn’t unique to being scared. Any event that increases one’s adrenal level could lead to this dangerous condition. So if you are planning on scaring others the next Halloween season, be sure to do it in a controlled setting, especially if you have a history of heart problems.
61. What do we learn about the fight-or-flight response mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. It makes us think in a better way.
B. It prevents adrenaline from rising.
C. It has nothing to do with little kids.
D. It is meant to help us survive better.
62. The underlined word “exacerbated” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.
A. acquired B. relieved C. worsened D. addressed
63. What will probably happen during the dangerous condition according to Paragraph 5
A. Having a failed kidney.
B. Having faster blood circulation.
C. Having too much calcium in our blood.
D. Having irregular heartbeats.
64. We can learn from the passage that we should ________.
A. enjoy Halloween in a controlled way
B. avoid low blood glucose levels
C. exercise to protect ourselves from heart disease
D. avoid scaring others during the Halloween screen
65. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Is it enjoyable to frighten others
B. Is it possible to be scared to death
C. Why is too much adrenaline dangerous
D. What to watch out for during the Halloween season
D
No business would welcome being compared to gambling. Yet that is what is happening to makers of video games. For years parents have complained that their children are “addicted” to their video games and smartphones. Today, however, even more doctors are using the term. On January 1 this year, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Are games really addictive Psychologists have different opinions. Those who don’t think so say that this is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock’n’roll, jazz, comic books, novels and even crossword puzzles, but it turns out that they are not as harmful as expected.
However, supporters argue that game developers have the motivation and the means to design their products to make them extremely attractive. For one thing, the business- model has changed: In the old days, games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from purchases of in-game goods, which ties playtime directly to revenue (收益). For another, game-makers combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. In this way products are constantly adjusted to encourage players’ spending. The biggest spenders are known as “whales”, a term that originated in casinos (赌场).
The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses will become more common. Anyway, being put together with gambling in the public mind, fairly or not, will not do the industry any good.
66. What do we know from Paragraph 1
A. It is not suitable to compare video games to gambling.
B. Parents complain about their children’s addiction to gambling.
C. Gaming addiction was officially recognized as a disease.
D. More doctors are against the use of the term “addicted”.
67. What does the underlined words “moral panic” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Unexpected addiction caused by science and technology.
B. Wrong judgment on how harmful something is.
C. Trouble caused by someone’s immoral behavior.
D. An astonishing claim of the unexpected panic.
68. What do games developers do to make games attractive
A. They don’t charge players for in-game goods.
B. They keep players’ video game machines updated.
C. They reward big spenders with a unique title.
D. They adjust products based on received data.
69. In the last paragraph, the author aims to _______.
A. offer a suggestion
B. make a prediction
C. give a warning
D. put forward a solution
70. What is the best title for the text
A. Addiction: A Warning to the Gaming Industry
B. Addiction: Not a Blame on Games
C. Games: A New Kind of Gambling
D. Games: The Cause of Mental Disorder
阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and began to cry. “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!”
Shyly proud-bursting, I stammered that I had. She poured out her praise. Why, this poem was nothing short of genius! I glowed.
I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for the arrival of my father. But he did not return until an hour late for dinner. “Ben, a beautiful thing has happened,” my mother began. “Buddy has written his first poem! And it’s beautiful, absolutely amazing.”
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
That poem was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. I could hear my father breathing. “I think it’s lousy,” my father said.
“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written,” my mother was saying. “He needs encouragement.”
They quarreled over it. I couldn’t stand it another second. I ran from the dinning room bawling.
Up in my room I threw myself on the bed and sobbed.
A few years later I took a second look at that first poem; it was a pretty lousy poem. But it wasn’t until years later that the true meaning of that painful “first poem” experience dawned on me. As I became a professional writer, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “Buddy, did you really write this I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with “I think it’s lousy.” A writer — in fact every one of us in life — needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows; and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”
