I still remember my friends giving me the advice: Get a hobby. I was stressed and, of course, also on my phone too much. I was writing about food for work, so cooking didn’t really count as a hobby anymore, nor did reading, nor socializing, especially since all of my friends worked in my industry. I needed something in my life that existed apart from all that.
Cooking had once been the thing I did to relax when I got home from work, the thing I was curious about. The kitchen had once been a release, but now it was part of my professional life. It needed a replacement. A few months later, I dutifully signed up for a ceramics(制陶艺术) class at a studio near my apartment.
Powerlessness, for an amateur, can be its own draw. At the studio, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few months I became crazy, signing up for more classes when my session ended. I had something to be curious about, and my goals were unrelated to outer forces: a boss, a job, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my progress was quantifiable: Now I can make a vase this tall. Now my handles are beautiful. Now I have made two things that more or less look like a pair.
Finally finding a hobby that was just for my own enjoyment was enjoyable. I enjoyed having something to do that didn’t involve a screen and therefore felt far from the style of work to which I was most accustomed —hands covered in clay cannot swipe(滑屏) very well.
Making time for this also means carving out time, for creation and inspiration, and also for the rest that is required for me to reflect on my life. This is something I desire more than a new hobby. This is peace.
4. What did cooking mean to the author in the past
A. It was her profession. B. It caused her to stress out.
C. It was a relaxing amusement. D. It helped her bond with friends.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The author enjoys the hands-on classes. B. The author is tired of ceramics classes.
C The author spends much time writing. D. The author is too lazy to learn ceramics.
6. What did the author gain from the ceramics lessons
A. A career in making vases. B. A sense of success.
C. A group of new friends. D. An enjoyable job.
7. What’s the writing purpose of this text
A. To introduce an interesting hobby. B. To share a story about a new hobby.
C. To help readers choose a new hobby. D. To show the benefits of having a hobby.
C
To nap or not to nap Whether napping will work for you depends on a range of factors, such as lifestyle, sleep cycle length, culture, and, most importantly, the length of your snooze. If you like to nap, you are not alone. Napping is part of the culture in many countries: around 51 percent of people worldwide habitually enjoy 40 winks in the daytime.
When it comes to napping. one size definitely doesn’t fit all. If you are sleep deprived, a nap can be helpful or even essential for making it through the day. However, for those with other sleep issues, a nap may make it harder to fall asleep at night. For most of us, the timing and length of our nap will largely determine how beneficial it is to our sleep routine.
Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., most people experience an increase in sleepiness, triggered by a slight drop in core body temperature. A nap of 30 minutes or less around this time allows you to benefit from a burst of Stage I and 2 sleep, which is good for mental and physical alertness.
Napping for 30 minutes or less can reduce stress and lower the risk of cardiovascular problems like heart attacks and strokes. One study showed that napping three times a week for 30 minutes led to a 37 percent decreased risk of dying from heart disease.
A brief nap can be beneficial for those with excessive daytime sleepiness, including people suffering from sleep apnea(呼吸暂停) or narcolepsy, shift workers, and people with jet lag. Studies show that short naps can help improve or reset a disrupted circadian rhythm (昼夜节律).
Naps can interfere with insomnia(失眠) treatment, which involves restricting daytime sleep to increase the likelihood of sleeping solidly at night.
Be cautious about naps of more than 30 minutes. Waking from the deep-sleep stages results in sleep inertia, a super-dizzy state where brainwaves are slow and it takes longer to adjust to the awake state.
A recent study has found that napping for more than 60 minutes a day increased the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50 percent.
8. Whether a nap is needed is determined mainly by .
A. your living habit B. your sleep-wake circle
C. the society you’re in D. period of time in sleeping
9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. A nap benefits all the people.
B. Not all the people fit napping.
C. A nap works on one with sleep problems.
D. A nap works for you if you’re lacking sleep.
10. Which of the following statements is true
A. Improper length of napping leads to sleep disorder.
B. A 30-minute napping results in longer time to keep awake.
C. Napping 60 minutes a day tends to trigger certain disease.
D. Napping less than 30 minutes ensures you refreshed after wake.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Napping: Harmful or Helpful B. A Boost for Sleeping
C. The Timing of a Nap D. A New Trend of Napping
D
Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions influenced by robots according to a new research. The study, conducted-at the-University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical (相同的) task when in the presence of both their peers (同龄人) and robots.
It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, they are largely able to resist being persuaded by robots. However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect.
The study asks people to look at a screen showing four lines and say which two match in length. When alone, people almost never make a mistake but when doing the experiment with others, they tend to follow what others are saying.
When children were alone in the room in this research, they scored 87%on the test, but when the robots join in their score drops to 75%. And of the wrong answers, 74% matched those of the robot.
Professor Belpaeme said, ”People often follow the opinions of others and we’ve known for a long time that it is hard to resist taking over views and opinions of people around-us. But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would follow robots. What our results show is that adults do not follow what the robots are saying. But when we did the experiment with children, they did. It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity (亲和力)with robots than adults, which does pose the question: What if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think “
12. What did the adults do when staying with robots
A. They generally refused the robots’ effects.
B. They totally accepted the robots’ suggestions.
C. They tried to persuade robots to resist them.
D. They usually compared robots with their children.
13. Why did some children make more mistakes in the experiment
A. Because children were not as clever as the adults.
B. Because robots reflected better than human beings.
C. Because robots in the presence made mistakes.
D Because children wanted to affect the robots on purpose.
14. What is Professor Belpaeme’s attitude towards the result of the experiment
A. He is optimistic about the result. B. He is worried about the future.
C. He doesn’t care about the result. D. He doubts the result of the research.
15. What should be followed after the last paragraph
A. What is the meaning of the research
B. What should adults do to avoid the problem
C. Why are children more likely to be influenced
D. What will be done to solve the problem

In the spring sun, my aunt and I headed for her flower shop. Normally I would be delighted to help in her shop, but not recently because of Rosa. Rosa was my sister, just one month old, who was settled in my old bedroom. For ten years, the small room was full of my toys and books. But now it was transformed into her baby room, decorated like a garden with pinks and yellows. My space, my old life, was gone.
“Here we are!” We arrived at the shop, a wave of colour and sweet smell washing over me. My aunt said I could pick some flowers for Mum and Dad. I used to love this, but today I was so overcome with tiredness and envy. Why bother to bring them flowers when they were enjoying Rosa at home without me
Silently I helped my aunt arrange flowers. “Your mum told me there hasn’t been much shut eye recently for any of you.” “Not much, since Rosa the alarm clock was installed (安装).” I complained with a huge yawn (哈欠).
“I remember having to creep (蹑手蹑脚地走) around like a worn-out mouse when your mum was a baby. I spent the first months hating her so much.” “But you and Mum seem so close,” I said, guiltily hiding away my envy of Rosa.
“Now we are. But it took me years to grow into the role of big sister. Few flowers blossom (绽放) overnight, you know.” She pulled me in for aside hug, glancing up at the clock, and suggested I take a walk outside.
Behind her shop was a field dotted with spring flowers. Stepping into the field, I began to pick little flowers. It was like gathering my childhood memories. I remembered how I’d sit with Dad, making flower chains, crowning (授予) each other with the silliest titles: Queen of Junk Food and King of Mess. My smile grew wider. The shining yellow flowers reminded me of the color in Rosa’s baby room. Was she awake I wondered.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
Suddenly I saw two familiar figures walking towards me.

Rosa was wide awake in her baby basket beside the picnic blanket.

I still remember my friends giving me the advice: Get a hobby. I was stressed and, of course, also on my phone too much. I was writing about food for work, so cooking didn’t really count as a hobby anymore, nor did reading, nor socializing, especially since all of my friends worked in my industry. I needed something in my life that existed apart from all that.
Cooking had once been the thing I did to relax when I got home from work, the thing I was curious about. The kitchen had once been a release, but now it was part of my professional life. It needed a replacement. A few months later, I dutifully signed up for a ceramics(制陶艺术) class at a studio near my apartment.
Powerlessness, for an amateur, can be its own draw. At the studio, I started as a lazy learner, but after a few months I became crazy, signing up for more classes when my session ended. I had something to be curious about, and my goals were unrelated to outer forces: a boss, a job, a market, a reader. Unlike with writing, my progress was quantifiable: Now I can make a vase this tall. Now my handles are beautiful. Now I have made two things that more or less look like a pair.
Finally finding a hobby that was just for my own enjoyment was enjoyable. I enjoyed having something to do that didn’t involve a screen and therefore felt far from the style of work to which I was most accustomed —hands covered in clay cannot swipe(滑屏) very well.
Making time for this also means carving out time, for creation and inspiration, and also for the rest that is required for me to reflect on my life. This is something I desire more than a new hobby. This is peace.

To nap or not to nap Whether napping will work for you depends on a range of factors, such as lifestyle, sleep cycle length, culture, and, most importantly, the length of your snooze. If you like to nap, you are not alone. Napping is part of the culture in many countries: around 51 percent of people worldwide habitually enjoy 40 winks in the daytime.
When it comes to napping. one size definitely doesn’t fit all. If you are sleep deprived, a nap can be helpful or even essential for making it through the day. However, for those with other sleep issues, a nap may make it harder to fall asleep at night. For most of us, the timing and length of our nap will largely determine how beneficial it is to our sleep routine.
Between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., most people experience an increase in sleepiness, triggered by a slight drop in core body temperature. A nap of 30 minutes or less around this time allows you to benefit from a burst of Stage I and 2 sleep, which is good for mental and physical alertness.
Napping for 30 minutes or less can reduce stress and lower the risk of cardiovascular problems like heart attacks and strokes. One study showed that napping three times a week for 30 minutes led to a 37 percent decreased risk of dying from heart disease.
A brief nap can be beneficial for those with excessive daytime sleepiness, including people suffering from sleep apnea(呼吸暂停) or narcolepsy, shift workers, and people with jet lag. Studies show that short naps can help improve or reset a disrupted circadian rhythm (昼夜节律).
Naps can interfere with insomnia(失眠) treatment, which involves restricting daytime sleep to increase the likelihood of sleeping solidly at night.
Be cautious about naps of more than 30 minutes. Waking from the deep-sleep stages results in sleep inertia a super-dizzy state where brainwaves are slow and it takes longer to adjust to the awake state.
A recent study has found that napping for more than 60 minutes a day increased the risk of type 2 diabetes by 50 percent.
8. Whether a nap is needed is determined mainly by .
A. your living habit B. your sleep-wake circle
C. the society you’re in D. period of time in sleeping
9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
A. A nap benefits all the people.
B. Not all the people fit napping.
C. A nap works on one with sleep problems.
D. A nap works for you if you’re lacking sleep.
10. Which of the following statements is true
A. Improper length of napping leads to sleep disorder.
B. A 30-minute napping results in longer time to keep awake.
C. Napping 60 minutes a day tends to trigger certain disease.
D. Napping less than 30 minutes ensures you refreshed after wake.
11. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Napping: Harmful or Helpful B. A Boost for Sleeping
C. The Timing of a Nap D. A New Trend of Napping
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A

Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions influenced by robots according to a new research. The study, conducted-at the-University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical (相同的) task when in the presence of both their peers (同龄人) and robots.
It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, they are largely able to resist being persuaded by robots. However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect.
The study asks people to look at a screen showing four lines and say which two match in length. When alone, people almost never make a mistake but when doing the experiment with others, they tend to follow what others are saying.
When children were alone in the room in this research, they scored 87%on the test, but when the robots join in their score drops to 75%. And of the wrong answers, 74% matched those of the robot.
Professor Belpaeme said, ”People often follow the opinions of others and we’ve known for a long time that it is hard to resist taking over views and opinions of people around-us. But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would follow robots. What our results show is that adults do not follow what the robots are saying. But when we did the experiment with children, they did. It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity (亲和力)with robots than adults, which does pose the question: What if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think “
12. What did the adults do when staying with robots
A. They generally refused the robots’ effects.
B. They totally accepted the robots’ suggestions.
C. They tried to persuade robots to resist them.
D. They usually compared robots with their children.
13. Why did some children make more mistakes in the experiment
A. Because children were not as clever as the adults.
B. Because robots reflected better than human beings.
C. Because robots in the presence made mistakes.
D. Because children wanted to affect the robots on purpose.
14. What is Professor Belpaeme’s attitude towards the result of the experiment
A. He is optimistic about the result. B. He is worried about the future.
C. He doesn’t care about the result. D. He doubts the result of the research.
15. What should be followed after the last paragraph
A. What is the meaning of the research
B. What should adults do to avoid the problem
C. Why are children more likely to be influenced
D. What will be done to solve the problem
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect. (然而，7岁至9岁的儿童更有可能做出与机器人相同的反应，即使它们明显不正确。)”以及第四段“When children were alone in the room in this research, they scored 87%on the test, but when the robots join in their score drops to 75%. And of the wrong answers, 74% matched those of the robot. (在这项研究中，当孩子们独自一人在房间里时，他们在测试中的得分为87%，但当机器人加入时，他们的得分降至75%。在错误的答案中，74%与机器人的答案相匹配。)”可知，儿童更容易给出和机器人一样的答案，哪怕答案是错误的，而在实验中，74%的错误是为了和机器人保持一致，即儿童犯了更多错误，是因为实验中的机器人给出了错误的答案。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would follow robots. (但随着机器人很快就会出现在家庭和工作场所，我们想知道人们是否会盲从机器人)。”以及“It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity (亲和力) with robots than adults, which does pose the question: What if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think (这表明儿童可能比成年人更喜欢机器人，这确实提出了一个问题：例如，如果机器人建议买什么产品或思考什么，会怎么样。)”可知，Professor Belpaeme对未来感到担心。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Young children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions influenced by robots according to a new research. (根据一项新的研究，幼儿比成年人更有可能受到机器人的影响。)”以及最后一段“It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity (亲和力) with robots than adults, which does pose the question: What if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think (这表明儿童可能比成年人更喜欢机器人，这确实提出了一个问题：例如，如果机器人建议买什么产品或思考什么，会怎么样。)”以及文章内容可知，文章在首段介绍研究表明儿童更可能受到机器人的影响，分析之后，最后一段提出了一个具体的问题，所以接下来的段落应给出具体的解决方法，即，需要采取何种措施来解决这一问题。故选D。

Doing just one small positive thing each day can make a big difference and be enough to restore a sense of balance. ____18____ Or going for a walk in the fresh air and feeling the warmth of the sun. Or walking the dog.
Changing the way we tackle negative thinking also helps a lot. One technique is to stick to the facts about a particular situation rather than listening to negative thoughts and anxieties. So we can ask questions like: Is this true ____19____ Does this thinking benefit me or hinder me Could I see it another way
____20____ When we struggle to get to sleep, our minds can start to fill with anxious thoughts that make it even harder to doze off. Having a cool environment, not drinking caffeine past midday or banning mobile phones from the bedroom could be the changes you need.

C. Being a big advocate for helping others.
D. Having good-quality sleep can improve mental health.

【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：笑就像一种健康的超级药物，可以提升你的情绪，减轻痛苦，保护你免受压力的有害影响。分析句子结构可知，此处应为形容词作定语，修饰名词effects，harm的形容词为harmful意为“有害的”符合句意。故填harmful。

【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：然而，据纽波特学院称，考辛斯注意到，当他参与大笑时，他的疼痛减轻了。分析句子结构可知，此处应为谓语动词，根据本段的语境可知，此处讲述的是过去的事情，所以应使用一般过去时，notice与句子主语Cousins之间为主动关系。故填noticed。

【答案】Hello, everyone,
With the improvement of our living standard, more and more people have realized the close connection between food and health.
However, not all of us are aware of the importance of a healthy diet. Instead of healthy food, they prefer food high in fat and calories. As a result, many of them are gaining weight. What’s worse, a majority of them are suffering from illnesses due to overweight.
Therefore, it is high time that we should attach importance to keeping a balanced diet. The best choices are food which contains protein, vitamins, such as various vegetables, fruits, milk and so on. More importantly, say no to junk food, which does great harm to our health. In the meanwhile, do keep a good diet habit. We’d better have meals regularly. Don’t be particular about food so that you can absorb enough nutrition.
Thank you for listening!

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the spring sun, my aunt and I headed for her flower shop. Normally I would be delighted to help in her shop, but not recently because of Rosa. Rosa was my sister, just one month old, who was settled in my old bedroom. For ten years, the small room was full of my toys and books. But now it was transformed into her baby room, decorated like a garden with pinks and yellows. My space, my old life, was gone.
“Here we are!” We arrived at the shop, a wave of colour and sweet smell washing over me. My aunt said I could pick some flowers for Mum and Dad. I used to love this, but today I was so overcome with tiredness and envy. Why bother to bring them flowers when they were enjoying Rosa at home without me
Silently I helped my aunt arrange flowers. “Your mum told me there hasn’t been much shut eye recently for any of you.” “Not much, since Rosa the alarm clock was installed (安装).” I complained with a huge yawn (哈欠).
“I remember having to creep (蹑手蹑脚地走) around like a worn-out mouse when your mum was a baby. I spent the first months hating her so much.” “But you and Mum seem so close,” I said, guiltily hiding away my envy of Rosa.
“Now we are. But it took me years to grow into the role of big sister. Few flowers blossom (绽放) overnight, you know.” She pulled me in for aside hug, glancing up at the clock, and suggested I take a walk outside.
Behind her shop was a field dotted with spring flowers. Stepping into the field, I began to pick little flowers. It was like gathering my childhood memories. I remembered how I’d sit with Dad, making flower chains, crowning (授予) each other with the silliest titles: Queen of Junk Food and King of Mess. My smile grew wider. The shining yellow flowers reminded me of the color in Rosa’s baby room. Was she awake I wondered.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly I saw two familiar figures walking towards me. “Look who’s here!” my dad exclaimed with a smile, holding Rosa with a baby basket. The yellow flowers in my hand seemed to glow even brighter as I gazed at the beautiful little girl. I couldn’t help recalling what my aunt told me. I knew that it would take time for me to adjust to sharing my parents’ attention and my old room, but I was determined to be the best big sister I could be. Then I carefully arranged the yellow flowers into a small bouquet and handed it to my mom with a smile. “These are for you and Dad, and also for Rosa,” I said, feeling a warmth in my chest that had been missing earlier.
Rosa was wide awake in her baby basket beside the picnic blanket. Her big blue eyes were open, taking in the world around her. As I watched my little sister, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder and amazement at how perfect she was. I gently picked her up and held her close, feeling her warmth and breathing in the sweet scent of her hair. I knew that from now on, my life would never be the same. I would no longer be the center of attention, and I would have to share my parents with this beautiful little creature. But as I looked into Rosa’s eyes, I knew that it was all worth it. She was my family, and I loved her more than anything in the world.
