Kwane Stewart stepped outside a Modesto, California, convenience store with his morning coffee and noticed a homeless man, Tom Bissell, sitting with his back against the building. A small dog sat in his lap. Stewart, a vet (兽医) at an animal hospital, noticed its injured fur and skin. He approached the man and offered to bring medication for the dog's skin, a gift the man readily accepted.
“I remember returning a week later, and the hair was coming back the rash (皮疹) was gone,” Stewart told the Modesto Bee. Tom said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer feeling restless for its illness. “‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that got me touched too,” Stewart says.
Stewart was addicted. “When you do good deeds, there is something you get in return that feels much larger. I knew I wanted to keep doing it, "he told .
Today, Stewart, 50, has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He's helped roughly 400 animals since 2011.
There's a great need for his kind of help. About 25 percent of Modesto's homeless population owns a pet, but there are few healthcare options available to them. To fill that gap, Stewart can often be found wandering dark streets and underpasses (地下通道), anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out. Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket. For those expensive procedures, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don't ever want to have to turn anybody away,” he explains.
“To have somebody like Dr. Stewart come out here to take care of my dog just because it's the right thing to do, that's huge.” Joe, one of the dog owners, said in a video that Stewart posted on the GoFundMe page.
4. How did Kwane Stewart help Tom Bissell's dog
A. By offering mental comfort. B. By providing medical treatment.
C. By introducing some famous vets. D. By bringing it to an animal hospital.
5. What directly leads to Kwane Stewart's further kindness
A. The professional habit of a vet. B. The tough situation the homeless faced.
C. The requirements from the animal hospital. D. The inspiration from offering help to Tom.
6. Which of the following can best describe Kwane Stewart
A. Rich and caring. B. Smart and humorous.
C. Kind and generous. D. Brave and intelligent.
7. What's the text mainly about
A. Vets are in great need. B. Stewart rose to fame overnight.
C. Street pets deserve due treatment. D. A vet's kind act brings big impact.

Almost half of the participants in a study who were asked to turn off their phone notifications for a day said it was still influencing their habits two years later, say the researchers behind the new study.
At first, Martin Pielot from telecommunications firm Telefonica in Spain, and Luz Rello of Carnegie Mellon University, wanted to last their Do Not Disturb challenge across a whole week-—but they couldn’t find anyone to take part for that length of time. “We just got empty, frightened stares,” Pielot said. “And so finally we backed down to 24 hours.”
Overall, the group is made up of 30 volunteers. Pielot and Rello found that the responses (反应) to a day away from notifications were different a lot: for people who didn’t check their phones that much anyway, it wasn’t such a big deal. But for those whose friends, bosses, and co-workers expect quick replies, the study brought on some extra stress and anxiety.
For 9 participants, the Do Not Disturb challenge brought on extra feelings of missing out on something, such as a message from a friend or a package delivery (递送). At the same time, 19 participants reported feeling clearly more concentrated and more productive over the day with their notifications off. Some participants felt less connected to their social groups as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, so there’s a lot to take in from the study: it shows how phone notifications interrupt (打断) us, and how they connect us to others and enable us to manage social expectations.
On top of all those findings, the researchers are eager to point out how the day off from phone notifications changed habits in the long term-22 of the volunteers said they planned to change their phone notification settings as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, and after two years 13 of them were still following through with the changes. Considering most people seldom touch their phone’s notification settings, that’s a high number.
8. What can we learn from Pielot’s words
A. Few people are interested in the experiment.
B. Most people overly depend on their cell phones.
C. People can get paid for taking part in the challenge.
D. The participants can bear no phone notifications for one week.
9. What’s the response of most participants to the experiment
A. More happiness. B. Some extra stress. C. Nothing different. D. Higher productivity.
10. How do the researchers feel about the result of the experiment
A. Pleased. B. Moved. C. Doubtful. D. Regretful.
11. What’s the purpose of the research
A. To show those not using phones live longer.
B To find out how to get rid of phones in the long run.
C. To examine the influence of turning off phone notifications.
D. To explore how a day without phones affects people’s habits.
D
Have you heard of the term “tweenager” It’s a slang (俚语) word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way
Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.
Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy, parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce (离婚) rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.
You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK children today are very media- and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication (老于世故) at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents.
Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.
So what does tweenage fashion look like It’s lots of brightly colored materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too.
But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services to children.
12. What is the use of the first paragraph
A. To explain a concept and bring up the topic.
B. To tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.
C. To show why people in the UK prefer to use the slang.
D. To state how the slang came into being and make a summary.
13. Why are more products and services created for tweenagers
A. Because children education is becoming more important.
B. Because they are more affordable to tweenagers.
C. Because it is better to study music from an early age.
D. Because more companies are creating products and services.
14 What does the underlined word “compensate” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Keep company. B. Reward. C. Make up. D. Motivate.
15. Why do tweenagers pay more attention to their appearance
A. They are afraid of being laughed at by others.
B. They have less freedom than previous generations.
C. They wish to become successful and famous quickly.
D. They are encouraged to be like adults at a young age.

Stress Management: How to Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with Stress
If you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your health and happiness at risk. Stress does harm to your health. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do about stress. _____16_____ The following stress management tips can help you do that.
Get moving
When you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is getting up and exercising. _____17_____ You don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.
Connect to others
There is nothing more calming than spending quality time with another human being who makes you feel safe and understood. So make it a point to connect regularly — and in person — with family and friends. Keep in mind that the people you talk to don’t have to be able to fix your stress. _____18_____. And try not to let worries about looking weak keep you from opening up. The people who care about you will be happy because of your trust. It will only strengthen your relationship.
_____19_____
When you’re worn out by your morning traffic, or stuck in a stressful meeting at work, you need a way to manage your stress levels right now. The fastest way to reduce stress is by taking a deep breath and using your senses — what you see, hear, taste, and touch — or through a comfortable movement. By viewing a favorite photo, smelling a specific smell, listening to a favorite piece of music, tasting sweets, or hugging a pet, for example, you can quickly relax and focus yourself.
Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. _____20_____
A. Take control of your own life.
B. Learn to relieve stress in the moment.
C. They simply need to be good listeners.
D. But physical activity is a huge stress reliever.
E. But you have a lot more control than you might think.
F. That’s why it’s important to experiment and find out what works best for you.
G. While it’s not easy to avoid all stress, Learning about it can help you avoid unnecessary stress.

Kwane Stewart stepped outside a Modesto, California, convenience store with his morning coffee and noticed a homeless man, Tom Bissell, sitting with his back against the building. A small dog sat in his lap. Stewart, a vet (兽医) at an animal hospital, noticed its injured fur and skin. He approached the man and offered to bring medication for the dog's skin, a gift the man readily accepted.
“I remember returning a week later, and the hair was coming back the rash (皮疹) was gone,” Stewart told the Modesto Bee. Tom said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer feeling restless for its illness. “‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that got me touched too,” Stewart says.
Stewart was addicted. “When you do good deeds, there is something you get in return that feels much larger. I knew I wanted to keep doing it, "he told .
Today, Stewart, 50, has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He's helped roughly 400 animals since 2011.
There's a great need for his kind of help. About 25 percent of Modesto's homeless population owns a pet, but there are few healthcare options available to them. To fill that gap, Stewart can often be found wandering dark streets and underpasses (地下通道), anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out. Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket. For those expensive procedures, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don't ever want to have to turn anybody away,” he explains.
“To have somebody like Dr. Stewart come out here to take care of my dog just because it's the right thing to do, that's huge.” Joe, one of the dog owners, said in a video that Stewart posted on the GoFundMe page.
4. How did Kwane Stewart help Tom Bissell's dog
A. By offering mental comfort. B. By providing medical treatment.
C. By introducing some famous vets. D. By bringing it to an animal hospital.
5. What directly leads to Kwane Stewart's further kindness
A. The professional habit of a vet. B. The tough situation the homeless faced.
C. The requirements from the animal hospital. D. The inspiration from offering help to Tom.
6 Which of the following can best describe Kwane Stewart
A. Rich and caring. B. Smart and humorous.
C. Kind and generous. D. Brave and intelligent.
7. What's the text mainly about

Almost half of the participants in a study who were asked to turn off their phone notifications for a day said it was still influencing their habits two years later, say the researchers behind the new study.
At first, Martin Pielot from telecommunications firm Telefonica in Spain, and Luz Rello of Carnegie Mellon University, wanted to last their Do Not Disturb challenge across a whole week-—but they couldn’t find anyone to take part for that length of time. “We just got empty, frightened stares,” Pielot said. “And so finally we backed down to 24 hours.”
Overall, the group is made up of 30 volunteers. Pielot and Rello found that the responses (反应) to a day away from notifications were different a lot: for people who didn’t check their phones that much anyway, it wasn’t such a big deal. But for those whose friends, bosses, and co-workers expect quick replies, the study brought on some extra stress and anxiety.
For 9 participants, the Do Not Disturb challenge brought on extra feelings of missing out on something, such as a message from a friend or a package delivery (递送). At the same time, 19 participants reported feeling clearly more concentrated and more productive over the day with their notifications off. Some participants felt less connected to their social groups as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, so there’s a lot to take in from the study: it shows how phone notifications interrupt (打断) us, and how they connect us to others and enable us to manage social expectations.
On top of all those findings, the researchers are eager to point out how the day off from phone notifications changed habits in the long term-22 of the volunteers said they planned to change their phone notification settings as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, and after two years 13 of them were still following through with the changes. Considering most people seldom touch their phone’s notification settings, that’s a high number.
8. What can we learn from Pielot’s words
A. Few people are interested in the experiment.
B. Most people overly depend on their cell phones.
C. People can get paid for taking part in the challenge.
D. The participants can bear no phone notifications for one week.
9. What’s the response of most participants to the experiment
A. More happiness. B. Some extra stress. C. Nothing different. D. Higher productivity.
10. How do the researchers feel about the result of the experiment
A. Pleased. B. Moved. C. Doubtful. D. Regretful.
11. What’s the purpose of the research
A. To show those not using phones live longer.
B. To find out how to get rid of phones in the long run.
C. To examine the influence of turning off phone notifications.
D. To explore how a day without phones affects people’s habits.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第二段““We just got empty, frightened stares,” Pielot said. “And so finally we backed down to 24 hours.”(“我们得到只是空洞、惊恐的目光，”皮埃洛说。“所以最后我们把时间缩短到了24小时。”)”可推知，很少有人对这个实验感兴趣。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Overall, the group is made up of 30 volunteers.(总的来说，这个小组由30名志愿者组成)”以及第四段“At the same time, 19 participants reported feeling clearly more concentrated and more productive over the day with their notifications off.(与此同时，19名参与者报告说，在关闭通知的一天中，他们明显感到更专注、更有效率)”可知，大多数参与者对这个实验的反应是更高的生产率。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“On top of all those findings, the researchers are eager to point out how the day off from phone notifications changed habits in the long term-22 of the volunteers said they planned to change their phone notification settings as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, and after two years 13 of them were still following through with the changes. Considering most people seldom touch their phone’s notification settings, that’s a high number.(在所有这些发现的最重要的是，研究人员急于指出，从长远来看，远离手机通知的一天是如何改变习惯的——22名志愿者说，由于“请勿打扰”挑战，他们计划改变他们的手机通知设置，两年后，他们中的13人仍然坚持改变。考虑到大多数人很少触碰手机的通知设置，这是一个很高的数字)”可知，研究人员对实验结果感到高兴。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Almost half of the participants in a study who were asked to turn off their phone notifications for a day said it was still influencing their habits two years later, say the researchers behind the new study.(这项新研究的研究人员说，在一项被要求关闭手机通知一天的研究中，近一半的参与者表示，两年后，这仍然影响着他们的习惯)”可推知，研究的目的是探索没有手机的一天如何影响人们的习惯。故选D。

Have you heard of the term “tweenager” It’s a slang (俚语) word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way
Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.
Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy, parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce (离婚) rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.
You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK children today are very media- and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication (老于世故) at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents.
Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.
So what does tweenage fashion look like It’s lots of brightly colored materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too.
But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit Well the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services to children.
12. What is the use of the first paragraph
A. To explain a concept and bring up the topic.
B. To tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.
C. To show why people in the UK prefer to use the slang.
D. To state how the slang came into being and make a summary.
13. Why are more products and services created for tweenagers
A. Because children education is becoming more important.
B. Because they are more affordable to tweenagers.
C. Because it is better to study music from an early age.
D. Because more companies are creating products and services.
14. What does the underlined word “compensate” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Keep company. B. Reward. C. Make up. D. Motivate.
15. Why do tweenagers pay more attention to their appearance
A. They are afraid of being laughed at by others.
B. They have less freedom than previous generations.
C. They wish to become successful and famous quickly.
D. They are encouraged to be like adults at a young age.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国十到十二岁的青少年鲜明的个性和行为特征。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Have you heard of the term ‘tweenager’ It’s a slang (俚语) word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way (你听说过‘tweenager’这个词吗？这是英国的一个俚语，用来形容十到十二岁的孩子。他们介于初中生和青少年之间。为什么新闻和媒体用这种方式称呼孩子呢？)”可知，此处解释了“tweenager”的含义，同时最后用一个问题“Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way ”引出下文关于tweenager话题。由此推知，第一段用来解释概念并引出主题。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.(嗯，现在越来越多的公司为青少年创造产品和服务。他们似乎在告诉我们，青少年一定比以前拥有更多的金钱、自由和对父母的影响力)”可知，因为青少年更能负担得起，越来越多的公司为青少年创造产品和服务。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“In addition, a higher divorce (离婚) rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. (此外，英国较高的离婚率让父母试图通过给孩子买礼物来compensate)”可知，青少年能从父母那里得到更多零花钱是因为他们的父母想通过这种方式弥补他们的缺习。由此推知，划线词与C项make up“弥补”意思一致。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.(现在，英国的青少年也非常注重时尚，关心自己的形象。在一个充斥着承诺年轻时就能立即获得成功和名声的电视节目的世界里，有些人认为看起来很时尚是非常重要的)”可推知，青少年们希望迅速成功和出名，所以更注重自己的外表。故选C。

Get moving
When you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is getting up and exercising. _____17_____ You don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.
Connect to others
There is nothing more calming than spending quality time with another human being who makes you feel safe and understood. So make it a point to connect regularly — and in person — with family and friends. Keep in mind that the people you talk to don’t have to be able to fix your stress. _____18_____. And try not to let worries about looking weak keep you from opening up. The people who care about you will be happy because of your trust. It will only strengthen your relationship.

When you’re worn out by your morning traffic, or stuck in a stressful meeting at work, you need a way to manage your stress levels right now. The fastest way to reduce stress is by taking a deep breath and using your senses — what you see, hear, taste, and touch — or through a comfortable movement. By viewing a favorite photo, smelling a specific smell, listening to a favorite piece of music, tasting sweets, or hugging a pet, for example, you can quickly relax and focus yourself.
Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. _____20_____
A. Take control of your own life.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是汉服的相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：汉的历史可以追溯到几千年前，汉族的传统服装被称为汉服，其魅力也蓬勃发展了几个世纪。句中谓语是has，空格处用非谓语动词，history和date之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词作后置定语，故填dating。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：汉的历史可以追溯到几千年前，汉族的传统服装被称为汉服，其魅力也蓬勃发展了几个世纪。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，Hanfu和charm之间是所属关系，因此空格处用关系代词whose引导定语从句，故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：汉服是中华文明的重要载体，以礼仪为核心。carrier是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，important是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：汉服不仅体现了中国人的审美情趣，而且体现了礼仪、宗教和文化的独特意义。not only...but (also)...是固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”，因此空格处是but，故填but。
【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：只要人们穿上汉服，他们就应该按照“礼仪”系统的要求行事。空格处引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，此处表示“只要人们穿上汉服，他们就应该按照“礼仪”系统的要求行事”，因此空格处用what引导宾语从句，故填what。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：一种是上下分开的，另一种是连体衣，把上下衣服连在一起。空格处用one指代前面的type，表示“一种是上下分开的”，与后文的the other相呼应。位于句首，首字母大写，故填One。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：汉服上描绘的阴阳和世间万物，深刻地反映了中国古人对宇宙和自然的认识。句中谓语是reflect，空格处用非谓语动词，The Yin-Yang and all the subjects和picture之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词作后置定语，故填pictured。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：近年来，随着人们对传统文化的热情日益高涨，在旅行或聚会中穿汉服已成为年轻人的一种新趋势。此处表示“随着人们对传统文化的热情日益高涨”，空格处用with表伴随，是with复合结构，故填with。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：近年来，随着人们对传统文化的热情日益高涨，在旅行或聚会中穿汉服已成为年轻人的一种新趋势。由In recent years可知，句子时态用现在完成时，主语wearing是动名词，谓语动词用单数，因此空格处是has become。故填has become。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：汉服的复兴是当代人对中国服饰之美的新探索，也代表了年轻一代对传统文化价值的新认识。new是形容词，修饰名词，recognize的名词是recognition，意为“认识”，是不可数名词，故填recognition。
