Most Famous Libraries in the World
Trinity College Library
Designed by Thomas Burgh, the library is the largest in Ireland. Construction on the Long Room, the library’s 65-meter-long main hall, began in 1712 and lasted 20 years. The original structure only had books on the lower level, but when the library’s shelves were filled in the 1850s, the ceiling was raised to accommodate even more books. Today the Long Room holds 200,000 of the library’s oldest books.
Stuttgart City Library
Opened in 2011, the German library is a splendid light-gray cube consisting of glass blocks designed by Eun Young Yi. Inside it, you’ll find an airy central room, above which sits a multi-story stepped reading room lined with bookshelves. The library towers over the nearby buildings.
Library of Parliament
Taking the form of a Victorian Gothic chapter house complete with 16 flying buttresses, the 1876 Library of Parliament is one of Canada’s prized architectural treasures — it’s on the ten-dollar bill. Architects Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones took inspiration from the British Museum Reading Room for the structure, lining the central hall with delicate wood shelves and wood carvings.
Rampur Raza Library
Founded in the late 18th century, the Indian library is home to a massive collection of Islamic and Asian texts and objects. The pink structure that houses the collection today was built in 1904 by Nawab Hamid Ali Khan as a mansion of Indo-European style, The Rampur Raza Library was later shifted to this grand building in 1957.
1. Of the following libraries, which is the oldest
A. Trinity College Library. B. Library of Parliament.
C. Stuttgart City Library. D. Rampur Raza Library.
2. Who designed the library appearing on the ten-dollar bill
A. Eun Young Yi. B. Thomas Burgh.
C. Nawab Hamid Ali Khan. D. Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones.

Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical. At home, his dad never listened to music, while one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone deaf. But last month he started to play the harmonica (口琴)on the streets of Bradford. People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank. Horam caught himself thinking. “How, at the age of 79, do I come to be playing music to people on the streets ”
The question preoccupied him because, some years ago at a family gathering, Gavin, his eldest son, said: “You know what, Dad It can’t be coincidental. We must have got our musical abilities from you.” Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments. He was surprised. “There can’t be music in me, because I can’t play! ”he said.
Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant, was on his way back from a trip with his family. Gavin stopped at a music shop. He walked out and said: “Here you are. I bought this for you, Dad. It’s a harmonica. I’ll try to show you how to play a bit.”
They went to a session at their local pub. Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear. After six months, he was invited into the group. He discovered a talent for improvisation(即兴表演),responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. “I don’t play by ear. I play by heart.” Actually, Horam says: “My harmonica plays me-how I feel, what I am, what I’ve been.”
Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much bigger” than himself. “At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says. “Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”
4. Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford
A. To recall the good old days.
B. To beg food from passers-by.
C. To live his childhood dream.
D. To collect money for charity.
5. What is Gavin’s attitude to his father’s musical ability
A. Positive.
B. Disapproving.
C. Doubtful.
D. Unclear.
6. What does playing the harmonica allow Horam to do
A. Enjoy the quiet.
B. Listen to his heart.
C. Express himself.
D. Sharpen his hearing.
7. What does music bring to Horam
A. A lost soul.
B. A comfortable life.
C. A broader circle of life.
D. A new perception of family.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】文章是一篇记叙文。从小没有音乐天赋的Laurie Horam被自己的大儿子教会了口琴，让他丰富了自己的生活，扩大了自己的人生轨迹。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank.（人们鼓掌、跳舞，并把硬币扔进他为当地食品银行捐款的箱子里）”可知，Laurie Horam在大街上吹口琴是为了给当地的食物银行筹款，故选D
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“You know what, Dad It can’t be coincidental. We must have got our musical abilities from you.（你知道吗，爸爸？这不可能是巧合。我们一定是从你那里得到了音乐才能）”可知，Gavin认为自己一定遗传了父亲的音乐能力。由此推知，他对父亲的音乐能力是肯定的，故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“My harmonica plays me-how I feel, what I am, what I’ve been.（我的口琴演奏着我的感觉，我现在是什么样的，我曾经是什么样的）”可知，Horam用音乐来表达自己，故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的““At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says. “Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”（“在生命周期可能正在缩小的时候，我的生命周期正在扩大，”他说。“也许我们永远不知道自己是谁，或者我们能做什么。”）”可知，音乐让Horam在自己生命的最后阶段发现了更新的、更广阔的意义，故选C。
C
The World Health Organization(WHO)says it is possible to defeat the disease malaria （疟疾）,although that is not likely to happen with the current methods.
Pedro Alonso, directing the United Nations agency's global malaria program, says the WHO wants to eradicate(根除）the disease but “with the tools we have today, it is most unlikely that the goal will be achieved.”
Malaria infected around 219 million people in 2017, when about 435,000 people died from the disease. The large majority were babies and children in the poorest areas of Africa. These totals little changed from 2016.But the numbers are smaller than the 239 million infections and 607,000 deaths reported in 2010.Diallo is head of the RBM Partnership to End Malaria. The group released a statement from him on the WHO report, saying, “Today, there are more countries without malaria than with it, and more countries than ever have fewer than 10,000 malaria cases.”
WHO officials have long wanted to destroy malaria. The United Nations agency first attempted a campaign against the disease in 1955.Now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing financial support for the latest efforts.
There are a number of drugs available to successfully treat malaria. Sleeping under chemically-treated bed nets has proven to be effective in order to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes and infections. The drug company GSK has also developed a vaccine that has proven partially effective against malaria. The vaccine is currently used in Ghana and Malawi. But the WHO's report says these tools will not be enough to end the threat from malaria altogether. It calls for research and development of“transformative tools and knowledge” to control mosquitoes and create more effective medicines to prevent and treat the disease.
8. How many people suffered from malaria in 2016
A. Around 219 million people. B. About 435,000 people.
C. 239 million people or so. D. About 607,000 people.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Diallo feels worried about how to defeat malaria.
B. Malaria is a common disease in many countries.
C. WHO is in great need of financial support nowadays actually.
D. Humans have made great achievement in fighting with malaria.
10. What can we know about the vaccine from GSK in the opinion of the WHO
A. It can help effectively cure malaria.
B. It needs to be further developed.
C. It can kill mosquitoes in a short time.
D. It almost has no impact on malaria.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Possible to Defeat Malaria, But Probably Not Soon
B. Drug Company GSK Determines to Defeat Malaria
C. Malaria Control the Earth Long, But is to Disappear
D. Transformative Tools and Knowledge on the Way
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了目前传染病疟疾在全世界存在的状况和世界卫生组织致力于消除疟疾所做的努力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据题干中的2016 可知，答案出自第三段，再根据第三段中的“Malaria infected around 219 million people in 2017, when about 435,000 people died from the disease. The large majority were babies and children in the poorest areas of Africa. These totals little changed from 2016.”可知， 2017年感染疟疾的人数大约为219million，2016年的跟2017年的相比变化不大，所以2016年感染疟疾的人数也大约为219million。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Today, there are more countries without malaria than with it, and more countries than ever have fewer than 10,000 malaria cases.”可知，如今，很多国家已经消除疟疾，而且与以往相比，很多国家的现存患者少于10,000例。由此可推知，人类在抗击疟疾的行动中取得了巨大的成就。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的 But the WHO's report says these tools will not be enough to end the threat from malaria altogether. It calls for research and development of“transformative tools and knowledge” to control mosquitoes and create more effective medicines to prevent and treat the disease.（但是世界卫生组织的报告说，这些工具还不足以完全消除疟疾的威胁。它呼吁研发“变革性工具和知识”来控制蚊子，并创造更有效的药物来预防和治疗这种疾病）可知，已经证明GSK制药公司研制的疫苗对抗击疟疾有一定效果，但不足以消除疟疾，还需要进一步改进。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段The World Health Organization(WHO)says it is possible to defeat the disease malaria （疟疾）,although that is not likely to happen with the current methods.（世界卫生组织(WHO)说，战胜疟疾是有可能的，尽管目前的方法不太可能实现）是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了未来人类有可能战胜疟疾，但还有很长的路需要走，所以这篇文章最好的题目是“有可能战胜疟疾，但可能不会很快”。故选A。
D
We tend to use more emotional language to enhance our powers of persuasion, according to research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The research shows that people tend toward appeals that aren’t simply more positive or negative but are filled with emotionality, even when they’re trying to persuade an audience that may not be receptive to such language.
Understanding the components that make for a persuasive message is a critical focus of fields ranging from advertising to politics and even public health. The researchers wanted to look at the question from a different angle, exploring how we communicate with others when we are the ones trying to persuade.
In one online study, the researchers showed 1,285 participants a photo and some relevant details for a particular product available from Amazon.com. They asked some participants to write a five-star review that would persuade readers to purchase that product, while they asked others to write a five-star review that simply described the product’s positive features. The findings showed that although the reviews were equally positive in their language, the data showed that reviewers used more emotional language when they were trying to persuade readers to buy a product compared with when they were writing a five-star review without intending to persuade. Importantly, the shift toward more emotional language appeared to be automatic rather than deliberative.
The tendency to use more emotional language emerged even when participants were attempting to persuade a group of “rational” thinkers. “Past research indicates that emotional appeals can backfire when an audience prefers unemotional appeals,” the researchers say. “Our findings indicate that there is such a strong enough connection between persuasion and emotion in people’s minds that they continue to use emotion even in the face of an audience where that approach can have an unintended result.”
An interesting avenue for future research the researchers say, is to investigate whether the association transfers across various contexts. “For instance, would people use less emotion if they were in a boardroom meeting or if they were writing a formal letter of recommendation ” the researchers wonder.
12. What is the study mainly about
A. The influence of positive words.
B. The connection between emotion and persuasion.
C. The significance of understanding persuasion.
D. The power of emotional language.
13. What did the online study find in paragraph 3
A. More positive language was used for persuasion.
B. Emotional language was naturally used to persuade readers.
C Less emotional language was used to persuade readers.
D. Both of the reviews were objective in their language.
14. What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 4
A. Damage the reputation. B. Produce the desired result.
C. Attract more attention. D. Have the opposite effect.
15. What does the last paragraph indicate
A. More research will be carried out in a boardroom meeting.
B. The researchers are not satisfied with the current avenue.
C. Future research will be done in various contexts.
D. A formal letter of recommendation should use less emotion.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《心理科学》上的一项研究结果，人们会凭直觉使用更多的情感语言来增强说服力。即使适得其反，人们还是会继续使用情感来劝说。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“We tend to use more emotional language to enhance our powers of persuasion, according to research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. (根据发表在心理科学协会期刊《心理科学》上的一项研究，我们倾向于使用更多的情感语言来增强我们的说服力。)”可知，该研究解释了人们在说服时会使用更多的情感语言以增强说服力，由此可知，该研究主要是探索了情感和劝说之间的联系。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“The findings showed that although the reviews were equally positive in their language, the data showed that reviewers used more emotional language when they were trying to persuade readers to buy a product compared with when they were writing a five-star review without intending to persuade. Importantly, the shift toward more emotional language appeared to be automatic rather than deliberative.(研究结果表明，尽管这些评论在语言上都是积极的，但数据显示，与写五星级评论而不打算说服读者相比，评论者在试图说服读者购买产品时使用了更多的情感语言。重要的是，语言倾向于情感化的转变似乎是自发的，而不是深思熟虑的。)”可知，该研究发现评论者在试图说服读者购买产品时使用了更多的情感语言，语言倾向于情感化的转变似乎是自然而然的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。分析语境可知，后文的话是对划线单词所在句的进一步解释。根据后文内容“Our findings indicate that there is such a strong enough connection between persuasion and emotion in people’s minds that they continue to use emotion even in the face of an audience where that approach can have an unintended result.(我们的研究结果表明，在人们的头脑中，说服和情感之间有着足够强的联系，以至于他们甚至在面对可能产生意外结果的听众时，也会继续使用情感。)”可知，即使人们在说服有可能产生意外劝说结果的听众时，也会使用情感说服这一策略，即为划线单词所在句“Past research indicates that emotional appeals can backfire when an audience prefers unemotional appeals”表达的含义，由此可推知，“backfire”应是与“have an unintended result”表达含义一致，即，“产生事与愿违或适得其反的结果”，与选项D“Have the opposite effect.(有相反的效果。)”表达含义一致。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“An interesting avenue for future research, the researchers say, is to investigate whether the association transfers across various contexts. (研究人员说，未来研究的一个有趣途径是调查这种关联是否会在不同的背景下转移。)”可知，研究人员对于“情感与劝说之间的联系在不同背景下的是否会有所不同”感兴趣，由此可推知，未来的研究方向是考察情感和劝说之间的联系是否涉及其他领域。故选C项。
第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
Reading is essential but how can one choose the right books to read and where can one find them A few famous people may give you some helpful tips.
● Read books from past eras.
___16___ Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said.
● ___17___
Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. Seneca the Younger, a first-century Roman philosopher, suggested that “you must linger (流连) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would obtain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.”
● Shop at secondhand bookstores.
Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers. ___18___
● Check out authors’ reading lists.
In his 1940 guide How to Read a Book, American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. ___19___ Mortimer wrote that “one way to understand them is to read the books they read.”
● Make the final decision by yourself.
___20___ It’s you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. Great authors are great readers.
C. Leave some room for older works.
D. Learn more about those great authors.
E. Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.
F. There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.
G. Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读应该选什么样的书合适以及该去哪儿找到它们。
【16题详解】
上文“Read books from past eras.(阅读过去时代的书籍。)”是本段的主旨句。下文“Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it.(否则，正如阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦所说，你将“完全依赖于你所处时代的偏见和时尚”。)”可知，作者建议读者阅读过去的书籍。C项“Leave some room for older works.(为旧作品留出一些空间。)”也是建议大家阅读旧时代的书籍，符合本段主旨，故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据横线所在位置，可知此处应是小标题，概括下文。根据下文“Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you.(在太短的时间内阅读太多种类的内容会使文章无法给您留下持久的印象。)”可知，在太短的时间内读太多的书就会消化不了其中的知识，不能留下深刻印象。E项“Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.(读完一本书后不要太快地去读另一本)”，与下文表述一致，能概括本段内容。故选E项。
18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Shop at secondhand bookstores.(在二手书店购物。)”以及空前“Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers.(弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫认为，二手书店的作品具有图书馆通常所缺乏的吸引力。浏览这些书让你有机会看到一些不会引起图书管理员和书商注意的东西。)”可推知，作者建议读者去二手书店买书。G项“Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections. (通常，他们在组织藏品时更具选择性。)”承接上文，进一步说明了作者建议读者去二手书店买书的原因，符合语境，故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Check out authors’ reading lists.(查看作者的阅读清单)”和空前“He attached importance to those that of her authors consider worth reading.(他重视其他作者认为值得读的那些作品。)”可推知，作者建议读者在选择书籍时可以借鉴书籍作者的阅读清单，阅读他们读过的书，说明作家读过的书好。B项“Great authors are great readers.(好的作家也是好的读者)”，承接上文，符合语境，故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据木段小标题“Make the final decision by yourself.(自己做最后的决定)”以及空后“It’s you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read.(阅读内容，阅读方式和阅读时间应由你自己选择)”可推知，想要读什么书，要读多长时间等细节都应该由自己决定。F项“There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.(没有人人都应该遵循的“最佳书籍”清单)”也是在表达“读者自由决定自己读什么书”的内容，符合语境，故选F项。

As the final exam drew near, I was trying to do some revision for an important oral exam in the local library. However, people kept disturbing me, and I was getting more and more annoyed. Of course, the more upset I got, the less I was able to concentrate. The last straw was when I heard someone behind me. The singing was so loud that I could even recognize the song! I turned around and glared at the person who was singing. It was a tall girl about the same age as me and she had a big smile on her face. She was standing with a book in her hands near the “English Literature” section. She looked like a literary type and seemed very interested in what she was reading. I glanced at the book’s cover. It was a book of Tennyson’s poems.
The fact that she looked like a sensitive, friendly girl didn’t matter. If anything, it made me even angrily. In fact, I’m surprised there wasn’t steam coming out of my ears!
I picked up my books, glared at her and whispered angrily, “Thanks to your noise. I’ve been unable to study. You’re so selfish!” Then I stormed out of the library with anger. Because I left the library in such a hurry, I left my most important textbook behind. It was only when I got home two hours later that I realized I’d forgotten it and there was nothing I could do as the library was closed. I was so upset that I almost cried.

【答案】范文
Just then, the phone rang, and I answered it. And a gentle voice introduced the speaker as Jenny and asked if I was Jane. After confirming that I was, Jenny said that she had noticed I’d left my book in the library and as my name was in it, she’d asked a librarian to get my phone number from their files. She said that she didn’t live far away and could bring it around for me if I needed it.
I sighed with relief and agreed to meet her at the convenience store down the road. The moment I saw Jenny, I was shocked as if rooted to the spot/my jaw dropped to the ground. Just as you could guess, she was the girl I had shouted at for singing. I was filled with shame and apologized several times for my rude behavior. I felt so guilty, but Jenny just laughed and forgave me, relieving my embarrassment in a gentle voice. Hearing her considerate words, I nodded firmly, knowing kindness and friendship bloom in both of our hearts. Till now, she has been my best friend I can trust and count on.

Most Famous Libraries in the World
Trinity College Library
Designed by Thomas Burgh, the library is the largest in Ireland. Construction on the Long Room, the library’s 65-meter-long main hall, began in 1712 and lasted 20 years. The original structure only had books on the lower level, but when the library’s shelves were filled in the 1850s, the ceiling was raised to accommodate even more books. Today the Long Room holds 200,000 of the library’s oldest books.
Stuttgart City Library
Opened in 2011, the German library is a splendid light-gray cube consisting of glass blocks designed by Eun Young Yi. Inside it, you’ll find an airy central room, above which sits a multi-story stepped reading room lined with bookshelves. The library towers over the nearby buildings.
Library of Parliament
Taking the form of a Victorian Gothic chapter house complete with 16 flying buttresses, the 1876 Library of Parliament is one of Canada’s prized architectural treasures — it’s on the ten-dollar bill. Architects Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones took inspiration from the British Museum Reading Room for the structure, lining the central hall with delicate wood shelves and wood carvings.
Rampur Raza Library
Founded in the late 18th century, the Indian library is home to a massive collection of Islamic and Asian texts and objects. The pink structure that houses the collection today was built in 1904 by Nawab Hamid Ali Khan as a mansion of Indo-European style, The Rampur Raza Library was later shifted to this grand building in 1957.

Laurie Horam never thought of himself as musical. At home, his dad never listened to music, while one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone deaf. But last month he started to play the harmonica (口琴)on the streets of Bradford. People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank. Horam caught himself thinking. “How, at the age of 79, do I come to be playing music to people on the streets ”
The question preoccupied him, because, some years ago at a family gathering, Gavin, his eldest son, said: “You know what, Dad It can’t be coincidental. We must have got our musical abilities from you.” Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments. He was surprised. “There can’t be music in me, because I can’t play! ”he said.
Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant, was on his way back from a trip with his family. Gavin stopped at a music shop. He walked out and said: “Here you are. I bought this for you, Dad. It’s a harmonica. I’ll try to show you how to play a bit.”
They went to a session at their local pub. Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear. After six months, he was invited into the group. He discovered a talent for improvisation(即兴表演),responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. “I don’t play by ear. I play by heart.” Actually, Horam says: “My harmonica plays me-how I feel, what I am, what I’ve been.”
Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much bigger” than himself. “At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,” he says. “Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.”
4. Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford
A. To recall the good old days.
B. To beg food from passers-by.
C. To live his childhood dream.
D. To collect money for charity.
5. What is Gavin’s attitude to his father’s musical ability
A. Positive.
B. Disapproving.
C. Doubtful.
D. Unclear.
6. What does playing the harmonica allow Horam to do
A. Enjoy the quiet.
B Listen to his heart.
C. Express himself.
D. Sharpen his hearing.
7. What does music bring to Horam
A. A lost soul.
B. A comfortable life.
C. A broader circle of life.
D. A new perception of family.

The World Health Organization(WHO)says it is possible to defeat the disease malaria （疟疾）although that is not likely to happen with the current methods.
Pedro Alonso, directing the United Nations agency's global malaria program, says the WHO wants to eradicate(根除）the disease but “with the tools we have today, it is most unlikely that the goal will be achieved.”
Malaria infected around 219 million people in 2017, when about 435,000 people died from the disease. The large majority were babies and children in the poorest areas of Africa. These totals little changed from 2016.But the numbers are smaller than the 239 million infections and 607,000 deaths reported in 2010.Diallo is head of the RBM Partnership to End Malaria. The group released a statement from him on the WHO report, saying, “Today, there are more countries without malaria than with it, and more countries than ever have fewer than 10,000 malaria cases.”
WHO officials have long wanted to destroy malaria. The United Nations agency first attempted a campaign against the disease in 1955.Now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing financial support for the latest efforts.
There are a number of drugs available to successfully treat malaria. Sleeping under chemically-treated bed nets has proven to be effective in order to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes and infections. The drug company GSK has also developed a vaccine that has proven partially effective against malaria. The vaccine is currently used in Ghana and Malawi. But the WHO's report says these tools will not be enough to end the threat from malaria altogether. It calls for research and development of“transformative tools and knowledge” to control mosquitoes and create more effective medicines to prevent and treat the disease.
8 How many people suffered from malaria in 2016
A. Around 219 million people. B. About 435,000 people.
C. 239 million people or so. D. About 607,000 people.
9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Diallo feels worried about how to defeat malaria.
B. Malaria is a common disease in many countries.
C. WHO is in great need of financial support nowadays actually.
D. Humans have made great achievement in fighting with malaria.
10. What can we know about the vaccine from GSK in the opinion of the WHO
A. It can help effectively cure malaria.
B. It needs to be further developed.
C. It can kill mosquitoes in a short time.
D. It almost has no impact on malaria.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Possible to Defeat Malaria, But Probably Not Soon
B. Drug Company GSK Determines to Defeat Malaria
C. Malaria Control the Earth Long, But is to Disappear
D. Transformative Tools and Knowledge on the Way

We tend to use more emotional language to enhance our powers of persuasion, according to research published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The research shows that people tend toward appeals that aren’t simply more positive or negative but are filled with emotionality, even when they’re trying to persuade an audience that may not be receptive to such language.
Understanding the components that make for a persuasive message is a critical focus of fields ranging from advertising to politics and even public health. The researchers wanted to look at the question from a different angle, exploring how we communicate with others when we are the ones trying to persuade.
In one online study, the researchers showed 1,285 participants a photo and some relevant details for a particular product available from Amazon.com. They asked some participants to write a five-star review that would persuade readers to purchase that product, while they asked others to write a five-star review that simply described the product’s positive features. The findings showed that although the reviews were equally positive in their language, the data showed that reviewers used more emotional language when they were trying to persuade readers to buy a product compared with when they were writing a five-star review without intending to persuade. Importantly, the shift toward more emotional language appeared to be automatic rather than deliberative.
The tendency to use more emotional language emerged even when participants were attempting to persuade a group of “rational” thinkers. “Past research indicates that emotional appeals can backfire when an audience prefers unemotional appeals,” the researchers say. “Our findings indicate that there is such a strong enough connection between persuasion and emotion in people’s minds that they continue to use emotion even in the face of an audience where that approach can have an unintended result.”
An interesting avenue for future research, the researchers say, is to investigate whether the association transfers across various contexts. “For instance, would people use less emotion if they were in a boardroom meeting or if they were writing a formal letter of recommendation ” the researchers wonder.
12. What is the study mainly about
A. The influence of positive words.
B. The connection between emotion and persuasion.
C. The significance of understanding persuasion.

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。
Reading is essential but how can one choose the right books to read and where can one find them A few famous people may give you some helpful tips.
● Read books from past eras.
___16___ Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Albert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said.
● ___17___
Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. Seneca the Younger, a first-century Roman philosopher, suggested that “you must linger (流连) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would obtain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.”
● Shop at secondhand bookstores.
Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers. ___18___
● Check out authors’ reading lists.
In his 1940 guide How to Read a Book, American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. ___19___ Mortimer wrote that “one way to understand them is to read the books they read.”
● Make the final decision by yourself.
___20___ It’s you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. Great authors are great readers.
C. Leave some room for older works.
D. Learn more about those great authors.
E. Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.

As the final exam drew near, I was trying to do some revision for an important oral exam in the local library. However, people kept disturbing me, and I was getting more and more annoyed. Of course, the more upset I got, the less I was able to concentrate. The last straw was when I heard someone behind me. The singing was so loud that I could even recognize the song! I turned around and glared at the person who was singing. It was a tall girl about the same age as me and she had a big smile on her face. She was standing with a book in her hands near the “English Literature” section. She looked like a literary type and seemed very interested in what she was reading. I glanced at the book’s cover. It was a book of Tennyson’s poems.
The fact that she looked like a sensitive, friendly girl didn’t matter. If anything, it made me even angrily. In fact, I’m surprised there wasn’t steam coming out of my ears!
I picked up my books, glared at her and whispered angrily, “Thanks to your noise. I’ve been unable to study. You’re so selfish!” Then I stormed out of the library with anger. Because I left the library in such a hurry, I left my most important textbook behind. It was only when I got home two hours later that I realized I’d forgotten it and there was nothing I could do as the library was closed. I was so upset that I almost cried.
