We go through life assuming we’re in charge of our own minds — until temptation (诱惑) strikes. Few things better illustrate how little control we really have. You can know exactly what you should do (decline the second slice of cake or the third cocktail), but that hardly seems to matter when the urge arises. More self-discipline is rarely the answer, though. Instead, if you can understand what’s going on inside your head when temptation comes, you’ll be far better placed to make a healthier choice.
Sometimes, you need to push yourself, the idea behind which, in psychology, is to make the better choice the easier choice. (School pupils eat more healthily, it’s been shown, when the salads are within easier reach than the chips.) So, instead of relying on willpower, stop keeping ice creams in your freezer! Use StayFocused or similar apps to block distracting websites. Change your environment, and temptation will be a non-issue.
For every person, behind every bad habit, there's a reasonable desire: some people eat or drink too much because they're lonely, or smoke to get a break from a busy schedule. Once you’ve uncovered this underlying need, find a different way to meet it: call a friend; take a coffee break instead of a cigarette break. There’s nothing wrong with the need — only with the way you’re currently meeting it.
It’s a strange truth that we’ll break all sorts of promises to ourselves — yet most of us would never fail to show up at a prearranged meeting with a friend. Involve others in your temptation-resistance efforts, whether it's asking someone to check in weekly to see if you’re sticking to your plan, or never going shopping alone if you’re subject to impulse purchases. Best of all, launch a joint plan, in which two of you decide to give up a bad habit. That turns a challenge into a fun game.
24．What does “that” mean in paragraph 1
A．Temptation. B．Self-awareness.
C．Choice. D．Self-motivation.
25．Which should be a good choice if you feel worn out from a packed timetable
A．Exercise strong willpower over it.
B．Keep ice creams within easy reach.
C．Use StayFocused to refresh yourself.
D．Chat with a friend over a cup of coffee.
26．What does the author suggest you do according to paragraph 4
A．Seek partners’ support. B．Leave challenges behind.
C．Keep your promises. D．Say no to playing games.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．What causes temptation. B．How to keep temptation at bay.
C．Why urges set in. D．How to keep life under control.
C
As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification (沙漠化). “Within10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable (可持续的) crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant l million trees by 2028. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
28．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her
A．They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. B．They helped her better understand her father.
C．They made her decide to leave the country. D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
29．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland
A．Cold weather. B．Soil pollution. C．Low rainfall. D．Forest damage.
30．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia
A．To create job opportunities for young people. B．To promote the protection of their farmland.
C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D．To help the children obtain a basic education.
31．Which of the following can be the best title to the text
A．Saving Water in Africa B．Fighting Poverty in North Africa
C．Holding back the Sahara D．Planting Trees in Tunisia
D
Is boredom a thing of the past, like black-and-white television And, if so, is that a good thing Julie Robinson, a former teacher who now represents the Independent Association of Prep Schools, thinks that boredom is regarded as an enemy of today’s children, and they are losing the ability to become thoughtful and reflective (沉思的).
“We should not fear boredom.” said Julie Robinson. “Boredom is valuable to children. Quiet, reflective time is just as important as purposeful activity,” she added.
Her opinion is that constant (连续不断的) activity for a child, often the result of the dreams of parents, will lead to concerned and worrying adult. The traditional ideas that children should be constantly active could prevent the development of their imagination. So anything that improves a greater thoughtfulness is to be warmly welcomed.
Parents now feel a sense of failure when they hear their children complain about being bored. They seek an electronic devices (设备) to play games at once. And we didn’t feel bored during long car journeys anymore by the impatient “Are we there yet ” because all kinds of electronic devices have been taken along to avoid even a minute of boredom. So what chance do children have to allow their thoughts to wander
But it’s not just children who need lessons in reflection. Adults need that, too. On my train journey to work this morning, I couldn’t see a single person who wasn’t using an electronic device. No one was simply looking out of the window at the beautiful views of the county side. Not time for quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails to send, texts to read, and games to play. The wider world, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mobile phone has changed many things about our lives, and has developed an inability — among adults as well as children — to live in the present. What Julie Robinson regards is a cross-generational phenomenon: the fear of “inactivity”. And she is right.
32．Julie Robinson thinks boredom is useful because it makes children_________.
A．find effective solutions to social problems
B．improve the ability to learn knowledge
C．have time to think and have their imagination developed
D．communicate more with their parents and friends
33．Which of the following is seen as “inactivity” according to the last paragraph
A．Sending emails on a train.
B．Playing games with friends.
C．Planning constant activity for children.
D．Looking out of the window at the beautiful views.
34．The author mentioned the train journey to show that_________.
A．the trip on a quiet train was very boring
B．the view of the countryside was beautiful
C．people had too much work to do
D．electronic devices influence people’s life greatly
35．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．Both adults and children like to stay alone and recall their past days.
B．People fail to leave their children enough time to think and imagine.
C．Electronic devices are always good for both children and adults.
D．Parents should tell their children how to use a mobile phone.

There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite hard to understand. 36
Not eating food dropped on a table
I’ve seen the disgust (恶心) in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it. 37 Our thought is, “A tabletop has had nothing but food on it. No one walks on it, sits on it or throws garbage on it. Why is it considered so dirty ” We don’t get it.
38
Westerners don’t want their food near the floor. Dust, germs, etc. are far more likely to get into the rice. I’ve been in several restaurants and nearly everyone I’ve seen puts their rice cookers on the floor.
Eating dessert before a meal
Every Western child’s dream would be to live in China for the purpose that he/she could eat the dessert before they eat their main meal. I’m not sure about this Western tradition of eating dessert last. In China, it doesn’t matter. 39 Westerners would find that very strange.
Drinking hot water with your meal
Often, it has been my experience that many. Chinese will not have a drink (water, tea, etc. ) with a meal. But, when they do, it is usually hot water. 40 However, we westerners like cold water or cold drinks.
A．Putting rice cookers on the floor.
B．The following are just some of them
C．Having noodles or rice every day.
D．Americans do eat a lot of hamburgers.
E．You can have ice cream before your meal.
F．I’ve often heard that hot water is better for digestion than cold water.
G．In the West, we clean our tabletops quite well.

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。
While walking along the street, the bitter cold of a December day in Barrow was ruining my mood. The temperature was below zero so I rushed into the subway station, hoping to get warm.
Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court(美食广场) was attracting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes, it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for some food. But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him.
While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use ” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune.
He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped.
The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, without a hat and gloves. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight.
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。
My neighbor was the only one taking action.

W: I’d like to welcome Barry Green, the successful concert violinist, to our studio today.
M: Hello. It’s good to be here.
W: Barry, why did you decide to be a violinist
M: It was something I’d been desperate to do since I was about six years old. My parents weren’t musicians, but they let my brother and I do whatever we liked as hobbies, as long as it didn’t get in the way of our education. My brother’s a good footballer, but sport’s never really been my thing. I watched a concert on TV, and after that I was hooked.
W: So what did you do when you left school
M: I thought about studying maths or physics, but then I heard about a youth band that was doing a world tour. They offered me a scholarship so I could afford to go, which was brilliant. When I got back, as I already knew what I wanted to do, it seemed pointless to delay going to music college, so that’s where I went. I’m very lucky to be able to do what I love, and to have achieved what I set out to do as a young child. Not many people get the chance to do that.

W: Hi. My name’s Jess. I work at an activity center for young people, as an activity leader. The center is in North Cornwall in the south-west of England. The center is open all year round, but I only work here during the summer, and summer is the busiest time, so they need extra activity leaders then. Activity centers are a great idea for young people. Most of the people who come to the center live in towns and cities, so it’s a chance to enjoy some fresh air. Our center is near the sea, so we spend most time on water activities like surfing and sailing. We also do rock climbing and mountain biking on the mountain slopes. I think that the most important thing about the activity centers is the social side. Young people today spend so much time on computers or watching TV that they don’t talk to each other much. In most of our activities they have to work in teams, so it’s a good opportunity for them to learn about working and communicating with other people, and to make new friends, too. In the evenings, we get together to sing songs and play indoor games. On the last afternoon, we always have team games. Every group wants to be first, so they really try hard, and it’s a lot of fun. I’ve been an activity leader for three years now, but this will be my last time. I’m finishing university next year and getting a full-time job. It’s sad to think that this is my last year here, but I’ve really enjoyed it
