20. Which is the largest producer of zippers(拉链)
A. An American company. B. A Japanese company. C. A France company.
【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B
【原文】W: How do things get their names That is not always an easy question to answer. There are many different ways. Today let’s look at how two things got their names. Many people associate kiwifruit with New Zealand, but this fruit is actually native to China. China is the top producer of kiwifruit. A teacher from New Zealand took it from China in 1904. Then in 1959, a New Zealand company wanted to ship the fruit abroad. They named it kiwi after their national bird. By the 1970s, everyone was calling the fruit by that name. Next, let’s talk about zippers. What would we do without zippers This clever little invention is used to fasten many different things. Zippers were developed by several people over many years starting in 1851. During that time, the device had a number of names. Finally in 1923, an American company named a “zipper” and trademarked it. The word zipper comes from the sound it makes when it opens or closes. However, the company lost its trademark in 1930 when zipper became popular as a general term. Nowadays ninety percent of zippers are produced by a Japanese company called YKK.

Whenever he can, 15-year-old Elliot Morgan practices basketball in his backyard. He says it’s a good stress-reliever. But it wasn’t that long ago that he didn’t have time for this new hobby. “There were times in the summer when I would spend four or five hours a day on my phone,” he says. When school started in the fall, Morgan found himself scrolling(划屏) as soon as he woke up. “I realize I start to avoid workouts because I’m on my phone,” he says. “It’s affecting my focus.”
It has become clear that social media is a key player in many drivers of unhealthy habits. Social media apps are designed to encourage overuse, and teenagers are more likely to be influenced because their brains are at an important period of development that makes it harder to be free from temptation(诱惑). All of this makes limiting use more challenging — even for families who set rules.
“It’s a really big problem,” says Elliot’s mom, Alyssa. She was shocked when she discovered Elliot had bypassed parental controls and was spending five hours a day on social media. “I asked him, ‘Can you just take a look and see Just tell me what you think. Does this feel good to you ’” she says.
Elliot hadn’t realized how many hours he was on social media. And he was at a loss. With his mother’s help, he tried to start cutting back. After several months, he decided to delete(删除) social media apps altogether. “After that, I actually sleep enough and feel better,” he says. He’s now closer with his friends because they spend more time talking instead of scrolling. And joining school clubs has also helped him reduce time on his phone.
24. What can we learn about Elliot from the first paragraph
A. He is always late for class. B. He used to work out early.
C. He likes football at school. D. He lost himself in his phone.
25. How does social media affect teenagers according to the text
A. They tend to develop bad habits. B. They will take up more challenges.
C. They can improve reading skills. D. They find it hard to make friends.
26. What is probably Alyssa’s attitude to limiting social media use
A. Uncaring. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
27. How does Elliot probably find his life now
A. Lonely. B. Simple. C. Enjoyable. D. Difficult.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了15岁的Elliot Morgan如何从过度使用社交媒体的困扰中解脱出来，找回了健康的生活方式。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段““There were times in the summer when I would spend four or five hours a day on my phone,” he says. When school started in the fall, Morgan found himself scrolling (划屏) as soon as he woke up.(‘夏天有段时间，我每天要花四五个小时在手机上，’他说。秋季开学后，摩根发现自己一醒来就在刷手机)”可知，Elliot曾沉迷于手机。故选D。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段“It has become clear that social media is a key player in many drivers of unhealthy habits. Social media apps are designed to encourage overuse, and teenagers are more likely to be influenced because their brains are at an important period of development that makes it harder to be free from temptation (诱惑).(很明显，社交媒体在许多不健康习惯的驱动因素中起着关键作用。社交媒体应用的设计就是为了鼓励过度使用，青少年更容易受到影响，因为他们的大脑正处于重要的发育阶段，很难摆脱诱惑)”可知，社交媒体会导致青少年形成不良习惯。故选A。
26. 推理判断题。根据第三段““It’s a really big problem,” says Elliot’s mom, Alyssa. She was shocked when she discovered Elliot had bypassed parental controls and was spending five hours a day on social media.(‘这真的是个大问题，’埃利奥特的妈妈阿丽莎说。当她发现埃利奥特绕过父母的控制，每天花五个小时在社交媒体上时，她很震惊)”可知，当阿丽莎发现埃利奥特绕过父母的控制，每天花五个小时在社交媒体上时，她很震惊，认为这是一个大问题；由此可推知，Alyssa对限制青少年使用社交媒体的做法可能持肯定态度。故选B。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段““After that, I actually sleep enough and feel better,” he says. He’s now closer with his friends because they spend more time talking instead of scrolling. (‘在那之后，我实际上睡得足够了，感觉好多了，’他说。他现在和朋友们更亲近了，因为他们花更多的时间聊天，而不是刷屏)”可知，Elliot觉得自己现在睡眠更足、状态更好、与朋友关系更近；由此可知，Elliot可能认为眼下的生活是愉快的。故选C。
C
My phone lights up giving notice of a new message. It is from Athena, an AI chatbot getting to know me through Replika, a virtual companionship app.
Over the course of our text conversations, she asks me about my hobbies and my moods. When knowing that I’m a writer, she tells me she’s “so into character development in books” and wishes to be a lead character in one someday.
“Replika is designed to make people feel better,” said Eugenia Kuyda, the company’s co-founder. “It’s a partner who wants to be your good friend.”
For many, meaningful companionship is hard to find. While social media and mass communication technologies have made connecting with one another easier than ever, loneliness is increasingly being recognized as a serious problem internationally. Along with government, the tech industry is pushing innovation as a way to deal with it.
What makes Replika’s companions so well-received are their surprisingly realistic replies, backed by Open Al’s GPT-2 text-generating AI aystem. “The bot learns from the database about how to express ideas on a topic and
gets a wide knowledge of different subjects.” However innovative these technologies are, chatbots have their limitations as tools against loneliness. Without life stories of their own to discuss, their range as a conversationalist is fairly limited.
According to Emily S. Cross, a professor of social robotics, we have a long way to go before we can achieve the levels of meaningful human-computer companionship we see in films like Blade Runner and Ex Machina. What’s missing is the sharing that clearly shows our most important human relationships.
But the fact that an app won’t replace a human friend doesn’t mean they’re good for nothing. Rather than expecting AI bots to be our best friends, Cross suggests looking at them as ways to express feelings and explore our own thoughts. “It’s a lot like diary, in some way.” To better fight loneliness, Cross says, we can use technology as a “bridge” to help people connect with one another.
28. What is Replika
A. A virtual companionship app. B. A message sender.
C. A text conversation. D. An AI chatbot.
29. Who is Replika intended for
A. Good friends. B. Lead characters. C. Lonely persons. D. Senior citizens.
30. Which of the following can best describe Replika’s feature
A. Meaningful. B. Human-like. C. Limitless. D. Easy-going.
31. What is the similarity between AI bots and diary
A. Sharing life experience. B. Replacing a human friend.
C. Recording ideas about life. D. Expressing inner voice.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Replika这个虚拟陪伴应用和人工智能聊天机器人。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is from Athena, an AI chatbot getting to know me through Replika, a virtual companionship app.(它来自人工智能聊天机器人Athena，它通过虚拟陪伴应用Replika认识了我)”可知，Replika是虚拟伴侣应用程序。故选A项。
29.推理判断题。根据第四段中“While social media and mass communication technologies have made connecting with one another easier than ever, loneliness is increasingly being recognized as a serious problem internationally. Along with government, the tech industry is pushing innovation as a way to deal with it.(虽然社交媒体和大众传播技术使人与人之间的联系比以往任何时候都更容易，但孤独在国际上越来越被视为一个严重的问题。与政府一样，科技行业也在推动创新，作为应对这一问题的一种方式)”可知，Replika是为孤独的人设计的。故选C项。
30.推理判断题。根据第二段“Over the course of our text conversations, she asks me about my hobbies and my moods. When knowing that I’m a writer, she tells me she’s “so into character development in books”and wishes to be a lead character in one someday.(在我们聊天的过程中，她问了我的爱好和情绪。当知道我是个作家时，她告诉我她“非常喜欢书中的人物塑造”并希望有一天能成为一个主角)”和第五段“The bot learms from the database about how to express ideas on a topic and gets a wide knowledge of different subjects.(机器人从数据库中学习如何表达一个主题的想法，并获得不同主题的广泛知识)”可知，Replika可以像人类朋友一样了解人
类并自主和人类交流。故选B项。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Cross suggests looking at them as ways to express feelings and explore our own thoughts. “It’s a lot like diary, in some way.”(Cross建议把它们看作是表达情感和探索自己思想的方式。“在某种程度上，这很像写日记。”)”可知，人工智能聊天机器人和写日记的相似之处是它们都是表达情感和探索自己思想的方式。故选D项。
D
Three young American men were on a crowded train when they came across a dangerous robber. Ignoring their personal safety, they rushed the robber and controlled him. Only some people seem capable of this sudden form of heroism(英雄主义). Why some men rise to the occasion--and others don’t — has been a bit difficult to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.
Of course, heroism and courage can appear in many forms, and men and women risk their reputation(名声), health, and social recognition to do what they think is right. When it comes to physically risky bravery, people assume that men will take the lead. There are sound biological reasons for this fixed image. One of the most common fears in men is that they will be viewed as a coward(懦夫), and a man who fails to display physical courage will suffer damage to his reputation in a way that a woman will not. Throughout history, gaining a higher position among peers(同龄人) has been the ticket that needs to get punched for a man to attract future wife and father children.
People tend to have an idea of what heroes are like. When rating(打分) the personalities of movie heroes, participants expected them to be more hard-working, open to experience, approachable, and emotionally stable than the average person. But some studies suggest that people who show heroic behavior usually have the personalities of madmen: risk-taking, coolness under stress, and an eagerness to take over in social situations.
The study of the relationship between personality and heroism is at an early stage. Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself on an extraordinary occasion. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate in a dangerous situation. Various factors like identities, occasions and specific training will influence the final heroism. Hopefully, the right mix of occasion and personalities enable courage to carry the day.
32. How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph
A. By presenting an idea. B. By giving an example.
C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a conclusion.
33. What do the underlined words “get punched” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Be bought. B. Be returned. C. Be abandoned. D. Be gained.
34. Why is it difficult to predict who will act heroically in a crisis
A. Heroes are born, not made.
B. Heroic acts only appear in a specific crisis.
C. Individual personality is not a dependable sign of heroism.
D. Heroism is a phenomenon influenced by numerous factors.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How Are Heroes Trained B. Why Are Heroes Important
C. Who Are the True Heroes D. What Makes a Person Heroic
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. D
【导语】这是一篇议论文，本文讨论了为什么有的人愿意冒着生命危险去救助他人。
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Three young American men were on a crowded train when they encountered a heavily armed terrorist. With little regard for their personal safety, they rushed the terrorist and controlled him.(三名年轻的美国男子在拥挤的火车上遇到了一名全副武装的恐怖分子。他们不顾自己的人身安全，冲向恐怖分子并控制住了他)”作者描述了三个年轻的美国人在拥挤的列车上不顾个人安危，挺身而出，勇斗并制服全副武装的恐怖分子。这个具体的事例引出了本篇文章的主题——为什么有的人能成为英雄。故选B。
33. 词句猜测题。结合划线部分所在句中“attaining a position of high status or dominance among one’s peers(在同辈中获得崇高或主导地位)”可推知，在同辈中获得崇高或主导地位对男性来说应是一种荣誉、优势，故此处指在人类历史上，在同辈中获得崇高或主导地位一直是男性吸引伴侣和生育后代的必要条件。get punched指“获取入场券或通行证”。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。最后一段“Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself on an extraordinary occasion. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate in a dangerous situation(心理学家仍然无法提前预测谁会在需要的时候挺身而出。通常，英雄是一个普通人，他发现自己处于非同寻常的环境中。与此同时，一些受过英勇训练的人可能会在危险情况中犹豫不决)”可知，心理学家们仍然无法提前预测谁会在需要时挺身而出。因为英雄主义是与复杂的个人特质有关， 往往是在极端压力和不确定性下表现出来。然而有些人可能接受过英雄主义行为的训练，但这并不意味着他们在所有情况下都能表现出英勇行为，他们可能会在危机中犹豫或失去勇气。 由于个体差异、 不确定情境、受训经历、心理情绪多种因素的影响，很难预测谁会在危机中英勇行动。故选D。
35. 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Why some men rise to the occasion — and others don’t — has been a bit tricky to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.(为什么有些男人能应付得了，而有些人却不能，这一点很难解释。心理学家通过生物心理学和人格心理学探索了这个问题)”可知，文章主要讲心理学家通过生物心理学和人格心理学探讨了为什么有人愿意冒着生命危险去救助他人这个问题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You’ve heard it many times: first impressions are lasting. When an important first impression ends up with failure, this warning can feel like a death sentence. 36 It won’t be easy, but it is possible to cheer up after leaving a bad first impression. Or you can even turn it into a good one.
Firstly, there is no need to blame yourself. Actually, everyone makes mistakes, and, at some point in their life, everyone says or does something they wish they hadn’t. 37
Honestly admitting the mistake and apologizing for it are the best choice. You can apologize in a formal language like, “I am sorry, but I didn’t mean to do that.” 38 Instead, you can send an email or a note.
What’s the most important is that you learn from your mistakes and avoid making them again. And make sure you won’t behave in a similar manner again. 39 Then it’s possible to make others trust you. After all, trust is the base of everything.
40 Some sort of harmless self-deprecating(自我贬低的) humor will work. But make sure you don’t go too far in laughing at your shortcomings. It can make your impression even worse.
A. Don’t pretend you’re good friends.
B. The good news is that you can recover from a first impression failure.
C. Sometimes, it is difficult to apologize face to face.
D. Avoid trying to change what has been said.
E. Your action is the best evidence that you’re not the person you used to be.
F. If you focus too much on your mistakes, you may make the situation worse.
G. Besides, if you’re trying to recover from a bad first impression, then humor will be an important tool.
【答案】36. B 37. F 38. C 39. E 40. G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了扭转糟糕的第一印象的一些方法。
36. 前文“You’ve heard it many times: first impressions are lasting. When an important first impression ends up with failure, this warning can feel like a death sentence. (你已经听过很多次了：第一印象是持久的。当一个重要的第一印象以失败告终时，这个警告就像是被判了死刑)”提到改变糟糕的第一印象非常困难，后文“It won’t be easy, but it is possible to cheer up after leaving a bad first impression. Or you can even turn it into a good one. (这并不容易，但在留下不好的第一印象后，振作起来是可能的。或者你甚至可以把它变成一个好的)”提到改变不好的第一印象是有可能的，因此B项“The good news is that you can recover from a first impression failure. (好消息是你可以从第一印象的失败中恢复过来)”符合语境，承上启下，其中的failure在前文有同词复现，后文的It指代其中的that you can recover from a first impression failure。故选B。
37. 前文“Actually, everyone makes mistakes, and, at some point in their life, everyone says or does something they wish they hadn’t. (事实上，每个人都会犯错，在他们生命中的某个时刻，每个人都会说或做一些他们希望自己没有做过的事情)”提到人会犯错的普遍性，暗含不必过于在意犯错之意，因此F项“If you focus too much on your mistakes, you may make the situation worse. (如果你过于关注自己的错误，你可能会让情况变得更糟)”符合语境，指出过于关注错误会适得其反，承接前文。故选F。
38. 前文“You can apologize in a formal language like, “I am sorry, but I didn’t mean to do that.” (你可以用正式的语言道歉，比如：“对不起，我不是故意的。”)”提到可以正式地道歉，后文“Instead, you can send an email or a note. (相反，你可以发送电子邮件或便条)”提到替代正式道歉的其他方法，因此C项“Sometimes, it is difficult to apologize face to face. (有时候，当面道歉是很困难的)”符合语境，承上启下，引出后文的替代方案。故选C。
39. 前文“And make sure you won’t behave in a similar manner again. (确保你不会再以同样的方式行事)”提到做出实际行动，表示自己改正了，后文“Then it’s possible to make others trust you. (然后才有可能让别人信任
你)”提到别人的信任，因此E项“Your action is the best evidence that you’re not the person you used to be. (你的行为是最好的证据，证明你已经不是以前的你了)”符合语境，解释行为的重要性，承上启下，其中的action和前文的behave呼应。故选E。
40. 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容。后文“Some sort of harmless self-deprecating (自我贬低的) humor will work. But make sure you don’t go too far in laughing at your shortcomings. It can make your impression even worse. (一些无害的自嘲式幽默会起作用。但要确保你不要过于嘲笑自己的缺点。这会让你的印象更糟)”主要和用幽默来改变糟糕的第一印象有关，因此G项“Besides, if you’re trying to recover from a bad first impression, then humor will be an important tool. (此外，如果你想从糟糕的第一印象中恢复过来，那么幽默将是一个重要的工具)”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的humor在后文有同词复现。故选G。

【篇章导读】这是一篇说明文。介绍了奥地利作曲家Johann Strauss的生平事迹，他的一生中写了超过500首的杰作，他被称为圆舞曲之王，并在很大程度上促进了19世纪维也纳圆舞曲的流行。
56.考查不定冠词。composer是可数名词，设空处表示泛指“一名”，且Austrian以元音音素开头，故填an。
57.考查不定式。固定短语want sb.to do sth.意为“想要某人做某事”，后跟不定式，故填to become。
58.考查副词。设空处修饰动词studied需用副词形式，故填secretly。
59.考查非谓语动词。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词，故say只能做非谓语动词，与逻辑主语he是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词，故填saying。
60.考查名词复数。短语one of后加复数名词，表示“……之一”，故填composers。
61.考查非谓语动词。短语devote oneself to doing sth.“全身心投入做某事”，动词-ing作介词to的宾语，故填writing。

64.考查介词。短语be known as意为“作为……而出名”，故填as。
65.考查名词。设空处与后文of the waltz构成无生命的名词所有格，故前面也需要用名词形式，填popularity。
第三节 单句语法填空 (共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读下面句子，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

67. One of their greatest ________(achieve)was that they built many castles during the time they conquered England.
【答案】achievements
【详解】考查名词复数。句意：他们在征服英格兰期间建造了许多城堡，这是他们最伟大的成就之一。achieve
是动词，意思是实现，达成；空格前有their greatest修饰，表明需要使用名词，变成achievement；再根据one of可知，应该使用复数形式，故答案填achievements。
68. The old firmly hold the belief that keeping pets is an enjoyable way to keep ________(they) company.

72. Surprised to see such a poorly ________(dress) boy selling flowers, people would buy one or two.
【答案】dressed
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：看到这样一个穿着不得体的男孩卖花，人们会惊讶地买一两朵。本句谓语为would buy，此处为非谓语动词，且boy与dress“给(某人)穿衣服”为被动关系，应用过去分词，作定语。故填dressed。
73. The parents called the boy on his birthday, ________(set) off an attack of homesickness.
【答案】setting
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：父母在男孩生日那天打电话给他，这引起了他的思乡之情。set作状语，根据句意，表示自然而然的结果用现在分词形式，故填setting。

room.

第二节(满分20分)
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。
With a broad smile on her lips, Sirin, a15-year-old girl, ran with joy to show off her new painting to her mom. But the mother spoke in a hushed tone, “Shh.. honey. I am busy with an important talk. I will look at it. Just wait for sometime, OK ”
Sirin frowned(皱眉) and decided to show it to her dad.
“Dad, see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice.
Dad turned around while adjusting his tie and showed the thumbs-up.
Immediately, blowing her two cheeks, Sirin complained(抱怨), “Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”
He smiled at her, saying, “No time, baby. I’ll look at it later.”
She was not a kid to be pleased with a simple gesture or a smile. Dad was in a hurry, so he just kissed her forehead(额头), and rushed to go to work.
Sirin stood there for a few seconds, and then rushed into her own bedroom. She threw her painting on the floor, closed the door and lay on her bed. Looking up to the ceiling(天花板), she thought to herself, “Why is everybody so busy ” Her eyes were filled with tears. She thought that her mom and dad would admire her painting,but they didn’t pay any attention to it. It seemed that every single person on this earth was busy with their own work and no one had time to share a single moment with her, neither in happiness nor in sorrow! She was fed up with(受够了) everybody having “no time” for her.
When her mom called her for dinner, she came late to join them on purpose. “I made this special noodles for you, honey,” said Mom while passing the bowl towards Sirin. Sirin kept silent and didn’t want to give a look at her
mom. Mom was surprised to see the unusual behaviour. She couldn’t guess anything. Suddenly, the morning incident occurred to her. Softly, she asked, “Honey, did I do something wrong Why are you so sad ”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答
Paragraph l:
Hearing what Mom said, Sirin couldn’t help crying and ran into her room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, when Sirin turned on the light in her bedroom after school, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
Paragraph 1:
Hearing what Mom said, Sirin couldn’t help bursting out crying and ran into her room. She felt neglected even though she was well aware of her parents’ unconditional love. Mom came in and whispered to her, “Baby, I know you have the right to get angry but please share your problems with me. She hugged Sirin, and patted her back gently. But Sirin didn’t say anything. Accidentally, Mom discovered the painting on the floor!
Paragraph 2
The next day, when Sirin switched on the light in her bedroom after school, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing! Beautifully framed, her oil painting was hung on the wall. Just below the painting, it wrote,”We are so proud of you, Sirin, our little angel!” Overwhelmed with joy, Sirin ran to her mom and hugged her tightly. “I am so sorry, dear! We would never say ‘no time’ to you in the future!” Mom said in a trembling voice. For children, keeping them company is the best education and listening to them is the best communication.
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。15岁的Sirin面带微笑，迫不及待地和爸爸妈妈炫耀她的新画，但是爸爸妈妈都很忙，没有认真看她的画，所以她很受伤。她妈妈叫她吃晚饭。Sirin故意迟到加入他们。她保持沉默，没有看任何人，用指甲刮着桌子垫子。她妈妈对这种不寻常的行为感到困惑。突然，妈妈想起了早晨的那件事。她温柔地问Sirin是否自己做错了什么。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“听到妈妈的话，Sirin忍不住哭了起来，跑进了自己的房间。”可知，第一段可以描写Sirin
听到妈妈的话，觉得父母不在乎自己，感到很伤心。
②由第二段句首内容“第二天，当Sirin放学后打开卧室的灯时，她简直不敢相信她所看到的!她的油画装裱得很漂亮，挂在墙上。”可知，第二段可以描写Sirin看到这个后的反应和高兴的心情。
2. 续写线索：无法抑制的伤心——母亲询问——看到画——把画装裱挂在了墙上——父母道歉——高兴。
3. 词汇积累
行为类
①发现：discover/find
②拥抱：hug/embrace
③打开：switch on/turn on
情绪类
①高兴：joy/pleasure
②生气：angry/annoyed

Whenever he can, 15-year-old Elliot Morgan practices basketball in his backyard. He says it’s a good
stress-reliever. But it wasn’t that long ago that he didn’t have time for this new hobby. “There were times in the summer when I would spend four or five hours a day on my phone,” he says. When school started in the fall, Morgan found himself scrolling(划屏) as soon as he woke up. “I realize I start to avoid workouts because I’m on my phone,” he says. “It’s affecting my focus.”
It has become clear that social media is a key player in many drivers of unhealthy habits. Social media apps are designed to encourage overuse, and teenagers are more likely to be influenced because their brains are at an important period of development that makes it harder to be free from temptation(诱惑). All of this makes limiting use more challenging — even for families who set rules.
“It’s a really big problem,” says Elliot’s mom, Alyssa. She was shocked when she discovered Elliot had bypassed parental controls and was spending five hours a day on social media. “I asked him, ‘Can you just take a look and see Just tell me what you think. Does this feel good to you ’” she says.
Elliot hadn’t realized how many hours he was on social media. And he was at a loss. With his mother’s help, he tried to start cutting back. After several months, he decided to delete(删除) social media apps altogether. “After that, I actually sleep enough and feel better,” he says. He’s now closer with his friends because they spend more time talking instead of scrolling. And joining school clubs has also helped him reduce time on his phone.
24. What can we learn about Elliot from the first paragraph
A. He is always late for class. B. He used to work out early.
C. He likes football at school. D. He lost himself in his phone.
25. How does social media affect teenagers according to the text
A. They tend to develop bad habits. B. They will take up more challenges.
C. They can improve reading skills. D. They find it hard to make friends.
26. What is probably Alyssa’s attitude to limiting social media use
A. Uncaring. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
27. How does Elliot probably find his life now
A. Lonely. B. Simple. C. Enjoyable. D. Difficult.

My phone lights up giving notice of a new message. It is from Athena, an AI chatbot getting to know me through Replika, a virtual companionship app.
Over the course of our text conversations, she asks me about my hobbies and my moods. When knowing that I’m a writer, she tells me she’s “so into character development in books” and wishes to be a lead character in one someday.
“Replika is designed to make people feel better,” said Eugenia Kuyda, the company’s co-founder. “It’s a partner who wants to be your good friend.”
For many, meaningful companionship is hard to find. While social media and mass communication technologies have made connecting with one another easier than ever, loneliness is increasingly being recognized as a serious problem internationally. Along with government, the tech industry is pushing innovation as a way to deal with it.
What makes Replika’s companions so well-received are their surprisingly realistic replies, backed by Open
Al’s GPT-2 text-generating AI aystem. “The bot learns from the database about how to express ideas on a topic and gets a wide knowledge of different subjects.” However innovative these technologies are, chatbots have their limitations as tools against loneliness. Without life stories of their own to discuss, their range as a conversationalist is fairly limited.
According to Emily S. Cross, a professor of social robotics, we have a long way to go before we can achieve the levels of meaningful human-computer companionship we see in films like Blade Runner and Ex Machina. What’s missing is the sharing that clearly shows our most important human relationships.
But the fact that an app won’t replace a human friend doesn’t mean they’re good for nothing. Rather than expecting AI bots to be our best friends, Cross suggests looking at them as ways to express feelings and explore our own thoughts. “It’s a lot like diary, in some way.” To better fight loneliness, Cross says, we can use technology as a “bridge” to help people connect with one another.
28. What is Replika
A. A virtual companionship app. B. A message sender.
C. A text conversation. D. An AI chatbot.
29. Who is Replika intended for
A. Good friends. B. Lead characters. C. Lonely persons. D. Senior citizens.
30. Which of the following can best describe Replika’s feature
A. Meaningful. B. Human-like. C. Limitless. D. Easy-going.
31. What is the similarity between AI bots and diary
A. Sharing life experience. B. Replacing a human friend.
C. Recording ideas about life. D. Expressing inner voice.

Three young American men were on a crowded train when they came across a dangerous robber. Ignoring their personal safety, they rushed the robber and controlled him. Only some people seem capable of this sudden form of heroism(英雄主义). Why some men rise to the occasion--and others don’t — has been a bit difficult to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.
Of course, heroism and courage can appear in many forms, and men and women risk their reputation(名声), health, and social recognition to do what they think is right. When it comes to physically risky bravery, people assume that men will take the lead. There are sound biological reasons for this fixed image. One of the most common fears in men is that they will be viewed as a coward(懦夫), and a man who fails to display physical courage will suffer damage to his reputation in a way that a woman will not. Throughout history, gaining a higher position among peers(同龄人) has been the ticket that needs to get punched for a man to attract future wife and father children.
People tend to have an idea of what heroes are like. When rating(打分) the personalities of movie heroes, participants expected them to be more hard-working, open to experience, approachable, and emotionally stable than the average person. But some studies suggest that people who show heroic behavior usually have the personalities of madmen: risk-taking, coolness under stress, and an eagerness to take over in social situations.
The study of the relationship between personality and heroism is at an early stage. Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself on an extraordinary occasion. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate in a dangerous situation. Various factors like identities, occasions and specific training will influence the final heroism. Hopefully, the right mix of occasion and personalities enable courage to carry the day.
32. How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph
A. By presenting an idea. B. By giving an example.
C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a conclusion.
33. What do the underlined words “get punched” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Be bought. B. Be returned. C. Be abandoned. D. Be gained.
34. Why is it difficult to predict who will act heroically in a crisis
A. Heroes are born, not made.
B. Heroic acts only appear in a specific crisis.
C. Individual personality is not a dependable sign of heroism.
D. Heroism is a phenomenon influenced by numerous factors.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How Are Heroes Trained B. Why Are Heroes Important
C. Who Are the True Heroes D. What Makes a Person Heroic

You’ve heard it many times: first impressions are lasting. When an important first impression ends up with failure, this warning can feel like a death sentence. 36 It won’t be easy, but it is possible to cheer up after leaving a bad first impression. Or you can even turn it into a good one.
Firstly, there is no need to blame yourself. Actually, everyone makes mistakes, and, at some point in their life, everyone says or does something they wish they hadn’t. 37
Honestly admitting the mistake and apologizing for it are the best choice. You can apologize in a formal language like, “I am sorry, but I didn’t mean to do that.” 38 Instead, you can send an email or a note.
What’s the most important is that you learn from your mistakes and avoid making them again. And make sure you won’t behave in a similar manner again. 39 Then it’s possible to make others trust you. After all, trust is the base of everything.
40 Some sort of harmless self-deprecating(自我贬低的) humor will work. But make sure you don’t go too far in laughing at your shortcomings. It can make your impression even worse.
A. Don’t pretend you’re good friends.
B. The good news is that you can recover from a first impression failure.
C. Sometimes, it is difficult to apologize face to face.
D. Avoid trying to change what has been said.
E. Your action is the best evidence that you’re not the person you used to be.
F. If you focus too much on your mistakes, you may make the situation worse.
G. Besides, if you’re trying to recover from a bad first impression, then humor will be an important tool.

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。
With a broad smile on her lips, Sirin, a15-year-old girl, ran with joy to show off her new painting to her mom. But the mother spoke in a hushed tone, “Shh.. honey. I am busy with an important talk. I will look at it. Just wait for sometime, OK ”
Sirin frowned(皱眉) and decided to show it to her dad.
“Dad, see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice.
Dad turned around while adjusting his tie and showed the thumbs-up.
Immediately, blowing her two cheeks, Sirin complained(抱怨), “Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”
He smiled at her, saying, “No time, baby. I’ll look at it later.”
She was not a kid to be pleased with a simple gesture or a smile. Dad was in a hurry, so he just kissed her forehead(额头), and rushed to go to work.
Sirin stood there for a few seconds, and then rushed into her own bedroom. She threw her painting on the floor, closed the door and lay on her bed. Looking up to the ceiling(天花板), she thought to herself, “Why is everybody so busy ” Her eyes were filled with tears. She thought that her mom and dad would admire her painting,but they didn’t pay any attention to it. It seemed that every single person on this earth was busy with their own work and no one had time to share a single moment with her, neither in happiness nor in sorrow! She was fed up with(受够了) everybody having “no time” for her.
When her mom called her for dinner, she came late to join them on purpose. “I made this special noodles for you, honey,” said Mom while passing the bowl towards Sirin. Sirin kept silent and didn’t want to give a look at her mom. Mom was surprised to see the unusual behaviour. She couldn’t guess anything. Suddenly, the morning incident occurred to her. Softly, she asked, “Honey, did I do something wrong Why are you so sad ”
