1．
How old is "old"？
How old is "old"？（1）　 　 More than two hundred years ago，you were old at 35.That was the average life then.At the turn of the 20th century，as medical knowledge advanced，the average life span（长度） increased to 45.In 1950，70﹣year﹣olds were really old.Today，a healthy 70﹣year﹣old is looking forward to many more active years.
So，how old is old？The answer is one you've heard many times，from all sorts of people. "You are as old or young as you feel!" The calendar（日历）simply tells you how many years you have lived.（2）　 　
Once an unknown author wrote，"Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.Nobody grows old by living a number of years.（3）　 　"
（4）　 　 Alice Brophy，when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging，said，"It upsets me when people say，'Gee，you look young for your age!' What does that mean？Is there some model that you're supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85？You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80."
There are many wrong ideas about aging.（5）　 　 Here are some of the more common ones.For example，most older people are in poor health，or older people are unable to change.
A.Old is a point of view.
B.It's extremely terrible to be grown old.
C.The answer has changed over the years.
D.Your body tells you how well you've lived.
E.Older people are stubborn，unable to change.
F.People grow old by giving up their goals.
G.These ideas stereotype（固化）people on the basis of age.
2．Everybody gets stressed from time to time.（1）　 　 Some ways of dealing with stress，like screaming or hitting someone，don't solve much.But other ways，like talking to someone you trust，can lead you to solve your problem or at least feel better.
Try taking these four steps next time you are stressed：
Get support.When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you.Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives. （2）　 　 They might have had similar problems，such as dealing with a test，or the death of a beloved pet.
Don't take it out on yourself.Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves.Oh，dear，that's not a good idea.
Remember that there are always people to help you.Don't take it out on yourself.（3）　 　
Try to solve the problem.After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends，it's time to get down to business.（4）　 　 Even if you can't solve it completely，you can solve a part of it.
（5）　 　 Most stress is temporary.Remember stress doesn't go away，unless you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster.Ah，it feels so good when the stress is gone.
These steps aren't magic，but they do work.
A.Be positive.
B.Then，find a way to calm down.
C.And don't forget about your friends.
D.You need to figure out what the problem is.
E.Different people feel stress in different ways.
F.Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.
G.Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
3．Some people are so rude.Who sends an e﹣mail or a text message that just says "Thank you？Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you？Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet？（1）　 　
Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little courtesies（礼节）.But many social norms（规范）just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.Take the thank﹣you note.Daniel Post Senning，a coauthor of Emily Post's Etiquette，asked，"At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost？"
（2）　 　Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages.In texts，you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello.E﹣mail，too，is slower than a text.The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e﹣mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.
This isn't the first time technology has changed our manners.（3）　 　Alexander Graham Bell，the inventor，suggested that people say，"Ahoy!" Finally，hello won out，and the victory sped up the greeting's use in face﹣to﹣face communications.
In the age of the smart phone，there is no reason to ask once﹣acceptable questions about：the weather forecast，a business's phone number，or directions to a house，a restaurant，or an office，which can be easily found on a digital map. （4）　 　 And when you answer，they respond with a thank﹣you e﹣mail.
How to handle these differing standards？Easy：Consider your audience.Some people，especially older ones，appreciate a thank﹣you message. （5）　 　In traditional societies，the young learn from the old.But in modern societies，the old can also learn from the young.Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time﹣wasting forms of communication do.
A.Then there is voice mail.
B.Others，like me，want no reply.
C.But people still ask these things.
D.Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time？
E.Won't new technology bring about changes in our daily life？
F.Face﹣to﹣face communication makes comprehension much easier.
G.When the telephone was invented，people didn't know how to greet a caller.
4．Many people think of sharks as dangerous monsters.But human beings cause a far greater danger to them than they do to us.Although shark attacks do occur，they are quite rare.According to one estimate，however，humans kill 100 million sharks every year.（1）　 　
Why should we save the sharks？
Sharks take up the top position on the food chain in the ocean.As sharks die off，the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase.This，in turn，means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop.（2）　 　 Fish that eat algae（藻类）are also included.This can cause algae to spread so much that it damages coral reefs.
（3）　 　 The ocean not only produces more oxygen than all the rainforests on Earth combined，but also removes half of the man﹣made greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.Once sharks die off，the global ecosystem will be upset，affecting all creatures including human beings.
Don't use shark products
First，vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts.（4）　 　 In addition，shark meat is sold around the world，sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or white fish.
Shark fin soup is a popular dish.However，the process of getting fins is cruel.Fishermen cut the shark's fins off and then throw the shark back into the water，still alive.（5）　 　 Sharks breathe by swimming，so shark that can't swim will die.
A.It is time for children to learn about sharks.
B.Shark oil is also used in many popular beauty products.
C.Then the shark dies slowly，sometimes over several days.
D.Actually，the killing of sharks will affect the whole planet.
E.People in some countries are especially keen on shark products.
F.Among them are some sea fish that humans consume every day.
G.This number is a warning that many kinds of sharks may die out.
5．China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years.（1）　 　Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.
In recent decades，a series of wildlife protection movements have been carried out by the central government.（2）　 　The giant panda and the crested ibis（朱鹮）are among these success stories.
The giant panda used to have a population of1，114 in the 1970s.It now totals 1，864 thanks to 52 protection areas.（3）　 　 By the end of 2018，seven of the nine pandas released had survived in the wild.（4）　 　In 1981，seven crested ibises were found in Yangxian county，Shaanxi Province.Since then，breeding programs have helped the population reach 2，000.
China has even sent crested ibises to Japan and South Korea in recent years to help with the species' survival.
（5）　 　Key projects will be continually carried out to improve protection，including making the lists of wild animals and plants under state protection，and also fighting against illegal wildlife trade.
A.Another species was once thought to be almost extinct.
B.Protecting wildlife is，without doubt，an important part.
C.China will continue its efforts at the wildlife protection.
D.People call for immediate protection of the remaining species.
E.Scientists have worked to feed pandas and then release them into the wild.
F.As environmental damage has increased，signs of change have appeared around the world.
G.Several species in danger of extinction have made impressive progress thanks to the methods.
6．How to improve self﹣control Self﹣control helps us in fighting temptations（诱惑 ）The tips listed below will tell you how you can improve your self﹣control.

7．
Johannes Gutenberg﹣the pioneer of the printing press
Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium by the media.You may not be familiar with him. （1）　 　 Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.
He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz，Germany.His early training was in goldsmithing.In 1428，he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years. （2）　 　
Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books. （3）　 　 That means that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by men.Gutenberg fashioned a font of over 300 characters，far larger than the fonts of today.To make this possible，he invented the variable﹣width mold and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.
（4）　 　 Between 1450 and 1455，while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible，Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books，a calendar and a papal Letter of Indulgence.The Bible of 42 lines，the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world，was completed by August 15，1456.
The invention of the modern printing press changed the way information was delivered. （5）　 　 Even today in the computer age，we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction，information and for the pleasure of reading literature.
A.In fact，this invention contributed a lot to educating the masses worldwide.
B.Before the spread of his idea，books were primarily handwritten.
C.Gutenberg made the world a much richer place.
D.It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type and printing.
E.Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all human beings.
F.But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways.
G.By 1450，Gutenberg was back in Mainz at work on a printing press.
8．As a working mother，my years passed without time for relaxing.The kids have been out of the nest，and I have been retired.Now I could take some time for ME!
（1）　 　 As a lifelong list maker，I did my research.There were relaxation activities like meditation （冥想），exercise，socializing...I was determined to find the one thing that truly filled my soul.And so began my not﹣so﹣smooth journey to finding myself.
Meditation was the first to come and go.I never fully understood how to shut my mind off.I always felt like I was just waiting for it to end.Next，I tried "Teatime as Me Time."（2）　 　 I imagined sitting across from a dear friend，drinking elegantly from delicate cups，but that is as far as it ever went.I have the fancy tea set （never used） and a shelf full of tea packages that I will never consume.Exercise is a highly recommended me﹣time activity.But for me，after a week or so of training，exercise time was killing me.（3）　 　
Many other me﹣time experiments left me wanting less of them，not more.I felt like a failure at this me﹣time thing.I could spend the whole morning watching the big，fuzzy bees in my garden.In those moments，time stood still.（4）　 　 I discovered that I truly desired less emphasis on me altogether.
Maybe the experts had this me﹣time thing all wrong，and it had little to do with "me" or "time" as I was defining it.Perhaps we are too concerned with how we spend our time instead of enjoying the nothing﹣ness of simply being.Instead of viewing it as a hesitation between activities，we can shift our awareness into welcoming timelessness.（5）　 　Maybe a better version of "me time" is simply "be time" ...or，better yet， "bee time"!
A.Taking the focus off myself was a relief.
B.Of course，there were many possibilities.
C.At first，I was very enthusiastic about this.
D.So，I eventually crossed these ideas off my list.
E.Sitting around feeling special doesn't feel special to me.
F.I still value all those busy years but I know I should learn to relax.
G.Witnessing simple moments of nature re﹣centered my soul better than anything else.
9．
Avoid Internet Addiction
（1）　 　 Many people suffer from addiction to the Internet and have a hard time paying attention to the important things around them.How can we prevent ourselves from going online too much？
Admit you have an addiction.（2）　 　 Realize more and more people in the world are becoming addicted.You are not the only one with this problem.Do not be embarrassed；find others with the same problem and help each other beat it.
Limit your computer time.Make sure not to turn it on too many times a week.Before using your computer，decide on a time limit such as 30 minutes.Set the clock and make sure that you get off he computer when the time is up.（3）　 　
Try using the computer at the library.You won't be as attracted to look at certain websites and they do have a limit on how long you can stay online.（4）　 　So you won't be as attracted to be on the Internet as at home.
（5）　 　Go for a run with a friend or get exercise some other way.Keep up with the local events in your neighborhood.There may be talks，films，concerts and sports events etc.Find some，as long as it is not on the Internet，and get involved.
A.You will be happier if you use the Internet less.
B.There is no use avoiding the truth.
C.Also，it is a good place to get some good books and magazines to read.
D.Get a hobby or an interest.
E.Internet addiction affects a lot of people.
F.Get your family to remind you if you've been on a long time.
G.Try to reduce the amount of time by 5 minutes each time.
10．
Is Society Too Dependent On Technology？
Just think，what would happen if your computer，iPad or laptop crashed today？What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it？（1）　 　Today，most people are becoming dependent on technology．
Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is immense．If you happen to work in offices you may be familiar with this trend． （2）　 　Anyway，it's true．How can work continue if it's hard to send an email to a colleague or customer？This is common in almost all offices．
Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories．Those evening games after school are over；watching cartoons on a Sunday or playing with friends are no longer there． （3）　 　 Technology has taken all their time．
Society may have gone too far in technology dependence．It has become so immense that doctors have recommended for "technology detox"． （4）　 　 If not，according to Oxford Dictionary，Technology Detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers，smart phones，etc．，as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world．
Well，the choice remains in our hands．We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today． （5）　 　 Meanwhile，we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality．
A．Perhaps you may have heard of it．
B．We appreciate technology since it has its benefits．
C．If the Internet is down，all the tasks are over for the day．
D．Technology addiction has become a major problem among teenagers．
E．If thinking about these incidences makes you stressed，you are not alone．
F．Here are some signs that our generation depends too much on technology．
G．Today，most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smart phone．
11．Financial Education﹣Awareness Dilemma When it comes to financial education，the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world.（1）　 　.Actually，elementary financial education is a must for all，as money transaction is an essential part of our day﹣to﹣day life.
Suppose you have ＄100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2%per year.If you leave the money in the account，how much will you have accumulated after 5 years：more than ＄102，exactly ＄102，or less than ＄102？The test might look simple，but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.
（2）　 　T.he explanation goes as follows：People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives.Researchers on this subject say people with a high degree of financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement.（3）　 　.
On the contrary，people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more，accumulate less wealth，and pay more in fees related financial products.They are less likely to invest，more likely to experience difficulty with debt，and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans.Thus，the cost of this financial ignorance is very high.（4）　 　.
What is the solution？（5）　 　.Like reading and math，financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools.Likewise，parents should engage in regular，constructive conversations about money matters.This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well﹣being，which will keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.
A.Financial education must start early.
B.However，they miss an important point.
C.Why does each of us have to face a financial challenge？
D.Why does financial literacy matter so much in our society？
E.Rich people are generally better educated on financial management.
F.Besides，these people have more than double the wealth of people who don't.
G.For example，they frequently make late credit card payments，overspend their credit limit，etc.
12．In an effort to stop the pandemic's advance，we may be finding ourselves taking certain precautionary（预防的） measures and maintaining a reasonable degree of social distance.Our habits have had to change to accommodate the reality of coronavirus. （1）　 　
People are advised against touching high﹣touch surfaces in public places，including elevator buttons，door handles，and especially other people's hands.Consequently，the traditional habit of handshake has been substituted for other gestures，like elbow bump（碰撞）and foot tap，which involve less bodily contact.（2）　 　The foot tap and the elbow bump have a way of feeling vaguely ridiculous，and it's hard to take them entirely seriously，especially in business settings.Centuries of tradition has normalized handshake in our culture，and it may be too deeply rooted in our custom to be abandoned.
（3）　 　In 1996，a sales manager developed an experiment to test the impact of the handshake on strangers.He found that more people told the truth when he introduced himself to them with a handshake before asking the question."A handshake，" he later told The New York Times，"creates a higher level of trust，a degree of familiarity，within a matter of seconds."
With more communication on screen，the handshake is an occasion to reach out and touch one another，to enjoy a tiny，fleeting connection.（4）　 　And meeting someone face to face，whether a client or a colleague，always suggests a closer level of familiarity than merely touching base online.
As the coronavirus spreads and habits change，it may prove that you can't fist bump or foot tap a handshake either.There's something in human nature that responds to the handshake.It feels good to shake the hand of someone you respect or admire，to have that moment of bonding.（5）　 　When COVID﹣19 is a distant memory，chances seem good that the handshake will prevail （流行）again.
A.The handshake is the first thing to go.
B.In a sense it can't be seriously replaced.
C.The handshake is a way of maintaining relationships.
D.The real human contact feels all the more precious now.
E.The handshake is also a rare gesture of casual closeness.
F.These touch﹣free alternatives are likely to replace the handshake.
G.However，adjusting to these new forms of greeting has been difficult.
13．The age range of 13﹣19 is an important time in an individual's life. （1）　 　While you are a teenager，many exciting opportunities for success are given to you.Taking on the right amount of responsibility and independence can push you towards becoming a successful teenager.
First，participate in extracurricular activities.Schools give students opportunities for staying active.Pick an activity that appeals to you such as athletics，academic clubs，or special﹣interest clubs.Extracurricular activities build character through team work，time management，and competition.Don't be too worried if you aren't very good at what you like，for the important thing is passion. （2）　 　
Besides，volunteer. （3）　 　Volunteering can teach you job﹣related skills such as responsibility or time﹣management.Some schools also reward the learning aspect of volunteer work with credit hours.If you are interested in college，volunteering makes you much more appealing during the application process.
Thirdly，use your summer for academic programs.Getting a head start at college could mean sacrificing your summer vacation.Various universities offer programs for future college students based on interests such as journalism，photography，art，sports，etc. （4）　 　Research different programs and then figure out which one is the best choice for you.Check the requirements and deadlines.Avoid getting into trouble because of a simple mistake，and you will have a great time.
Then，know when to ask for help and advice.Being responsible and independent does not mean being alone. （5）　 　So，seek advice from parents，older siblings，mentors at work，teachers，or someone whom you trust.Opening up channels of communication at a young age is a great habit for success.
A.It will drive you to put in your best effort.
B.Huge steps are taken within that portion.
C.Making and meeting goals motivates you to progress.
D.They give teenagers the chance to earn college credits.
E.Giving your time to your community is a noble activity.
F.Make sure your maturity level and interests are leveled.
G.Taking on new tasks and meeting goals will be hard work.
14．
HOT on the heels of equality
（1）　 　They lengthen the legs but shorten the steps；they give the wearer a sense of power but can also be painful to wear；they are worn by working women，but their visual appeal has nothing to do with work．
In Japan，a new social media campaign highlights the issues many women have with this footwear．（2）　 　In May，thousands of women signed an online petition（请愿书）demanding that the government ban the practice．
"（3）　 　"said the movement founder Yuni Ishikawa，32 yeas old，in an interview with the Associated Press． "It's the view that appearances are more important for women at work than for men．"
As early as January，Ishikawa shared her frustration about the unfairness of this dress code on the Instagram social network．In her part﹣time job as a funeral usher（迎宾员），she was required to wear black heels between 5 and 7cm high．（4）　 　．"High heels can cause bunions，blisters and strain the lower back．It's hard to move，you can't run and your feet hurt，" Ishikawa wrote in the petition，"（5）　 　"
It's a modest dream．Not too long ago，Japanese businessmen were expected to wear neckties，even on hot days．Then，the government encouraged companies to use less air conditioning and reduce electricity use．Men were freed from neckties． "This petition is the first step toward 'creating a working environment free from unnecessary burdens'．" Ishikawa said．
A．It's unreasonable．
B．This is about gender discrimination．
C．She would come home with bleeding toes．
D．I hope there will come a day when women don't have to wear heels in the workplace．
E．High﹣heeled shoes are loaded with contradictions．
F．They are upset that many companies require women to wear high heels to work．
G．It would be great if the country had a similar kind of campaign about neckties．
15．Are you afraid of making mistakes？Learn to accept mistakes as opportunities，and then you'll feel less stressed and fearful and you'll be more confident． （1）　 　．So what should you do？
Be open to making mistakes （2）　 　．Be open to making mistakes and consider them as opportunities to learn valuable life lessons．If you are open to leaning from your mistakes，you will be able to move on rather than wallowing in （沉湎于） regret．
Be aware （3）　 　．Be aware of what you are doing，why you are doing it，how you feel，and how you make others feel．Sometimes，your words are not understood exactly or you say something but it is not what you meant to say． （4）　 　．By being fully aware of how you impact （影响） others，you maintain an open state of learning which allows you to constantly practice being a better person．
（5）　 　
Whenever you make a mistake or you are involved in a misunderstanding，take responsibility．There is always something to be learned or improved even if the other person is wrong，too．
A．Behave yourself
B．In short，you will benefit from the mistake．
C．Accept full responsibility
D．In other words，look for areas of improvement
E．People have difficulty expressing what they really mean
F．Accept that you're human and that each of us will make mistakes
G．Repeat your words so that others can learn from your mistakes．

Try taking these four steps next time you are stressed：
Get support.When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you.Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives. （2）　C　 They might have had similar problems，such as dealing with a test，or the death of a beloved pet.
Don't take it out on yourself.Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves.Oh，dear，that's not a good idea.
Remember that there are always people to help you.Don't take it out on yourself.（3）　G　
Try to solve the problem.After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends，it's time to get down to business.（4）　D　 Even if you can't solve it completely，you can solve a part of it.
（5）　B　 Most stress is temporary.Remember stress doesn't go away，unless you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster.Ah，it feels so good when the stress is gone.
These steps aren't magic，but they do work.
A.Be positive.
B.Then，find a way to calm down.

【点评】七选五题型看似简单，实际上有时完全做对并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力，有必要进行专门练习。首先，快速浏览一遍七个备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置；其次，快速浏览文章，确定文章体裁，抓住文章结构，分析篇章结构，找出各段的主题句或主旨大意；其三，注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段，寻找句中衔接标志词，七选五备选答案中有两个多余的选项，会对文章中两个空的选择构成干扰，这时要特别细致地比对相似选项；最后，用代入法，检查答案是否合理，将所有选择答案放回空白处，通读全文，检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。
3．Some people are so rude.Who sends an e﹣mail or a text message that just says "Thank you？Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you？Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet？（1）　D　"
Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little courtesies（礼节）.But many social norms（规范）just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.Take the thank﹣you note.Daniel Post Senning，a coauthor of Emily Post's Etiquette，asked，"At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost？"
（2）　A　Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages.In texts，you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello.E﹣mail，too，is slower than a text.The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e﹣mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.
This isn't the first time technology has changed our manners.（3）　G　Alexander Graham Bell，the inventor，suggested that people say，"Ahoy!" Finally，hello won out，and the victory sped up the greeting's use in face﹣to﹣face communications.
In the age of the smart phone，there is no reason to ask once﹣acceptable questions about：the weather forecast，a business's phone number，or directions to a house，a restaurant，or an office，which can be easily found on a digital map. （4）　C　 And when you answer，they respond with a thank﹣you e﹣mail.
How to handle these differing standards？Easy：Consider your audience.Some people，especially older ones，appreciate a thank﹣you message. （5）　B　In traditional societies，the young learn from the old.But in modern societies，the old can also learn from the young.Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time﹣wasting forms of communication do.
A.Then there is voice mail.
B.Others，like me，want no reply.
C.But people still ask these things.
D.Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time？
E.Won't new technology bring about changes in our daily life？
F.Face﹣to﹣face communication makes comprehension much easier.
G.When the telephone was invented，people didn't know how to greet a caller.

4．Many people think of sharks as dangerous monsters.But human beings cause a far greater danger to them than they do to us.Although shark attacks do occur，they are quite rare.According to one estimate，however，humans kill 100 million sharks every year.（1）　G　
Why should we save the sharks？
Sharks take up the top position on the food chain in the ocean.As sharks die off，the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase.This，in turn，means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop.（2）　F　 Fish that eat algae（藻类）are also included.This can cause algae to spread so much that it damages coral reefs.
（3）　D　 The ocean not only produces more oxygen than all the rainforests on Earth combined，but also removes half of the man﹣made greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.Once sharks die off，the global ecosystem will be upset，affecting all creatures including human beings.
Don't use shark products
First，vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts.（4）　B　 In addition，shark meat is sold around the world，sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or white fish.
Shark fin soup is a popular dish.However，the process of getting fins is cruel.Fishermen cut the shark's fins off and then throw the shark back into the water，still alive.（5）　C　 Sharks breathe by swimming，so shark that can't swim will die.
A.It is time for children to learn about sharks.
B.Shark oil is also used in many popular beauty products.
C.Then the shark dies slowly，sometimes over several days.
D.Actually，the killing of sharks will affect the whole planet.
E.People in some countries are especially keen on shark products.

（2）F.语境衔接题。上文As sharks die off，the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase.This，in turn，means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop.（随着鲨鱼的死亡，鲨鱼所食用的动物的数量将会增加。反过来，这就意味着这些动物吃的生物数量会减少。）提到鲨鱼数量减少会使其引以为食的动物数量增加，这些动物引以为食的生物数量就会减少，结合下文"Fish that eat algae （藻类） are also included.（吃藻类的鱼也包括在内）"中的also可知，空处应是提到数量减少的生物包括哪些，F项Among them are some sea fish that humans consume every day."其中有一些是人类每天食用的海鱼"符合语境，F项中的"them"指代上文的"the creatures"，故选F项。
（3）D.段落主旨题。根据下文The ocean not only produces more oxygen than all the rainforests on Earth combined，but also removes half of the man﹣made greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.Once sharks die off，the global ecosystem will be upset，affecting all creatures including human beings.（海洋不仅产生的氧气比地球上所有热带雨林的总和还要多，而且还从大气中消除了一半的人为温室气体。一旦鲨鱼灭绝，全球生态系统将被破坏，影响到包括人类在内的所有生物。）可知，本段是讲述鲨鱼数量减少对全球的影响，D项Actually，the killing of sharks will affect the whole planet."事实上，捕杀鲨鱼会影响到整个地球"统领本段，符合语境。故选D项。
（4）B.推理判断题。根据上文First，vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts.（首先，鲨鱼的部分可以制成维生素能量饮料和皮革制品）"及下文"In addition，shark meat is sold around the world，sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or white fish.（此外，鲨鱼肉在世界各地销售，有时会被冠以误导性的名字，如岩鲑或白鱼。）可知，本段是描述鲨鱼制品，B项Shark oil is also used in many popular beauty products."鲨鱼油也被用于许多流行的美容产品中"符合语境，故选B项。
（5）C.语境衔接题。根据上文Fishermen cut the shark's fins off and then throw the shark back into the water，still alive.（渔民割下鲨鱼的鱼鳍，然后把还活着的鲨鱼扔回水中。）可知，被割掉鱼鳍的鲨鱼被扔回海里，再结合下文Sharks breathe by swimming，so a shark that can't swim will die.（鲨鱼通过游泳呼吸，所以不会游泳的鲨鱼会死亡。）可知，没有鱼鳍的鲨鱼不会游泳，所以几天就会死亡，C项Then the shark dies slowly，sometimes over several days.
"然后鲨鱼慢慢死去，有时会持续几天"符合语境，故选C项。

Johannes Gutenberg﹣the pioneer of the printing press
Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium by the media.You may not be familiar with him. （1）　F　 Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.
He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz，Germany.His early training was in goldsmithing.In 1428，he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years. （2）　D　
Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books. （3）　B　 That means that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by men.Gutenberg fashioned a font of over 300 characters，far larger than the fonts of today.To make this possible，he invented the variable﹣width mold and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.
（4）　G　 Between 1450 and 1455，while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible，Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books，a calendar and a papal Letter of Indulgence.The Bible of 42 lines，the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world，was completed by August 15，1456.
The invention of the modern printing press changed the way information was delivered. （5）　A　 Even today in the computer age，we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction，information and for the pleasure of reading literature.
A.In fact，this invention contributed a lot to educating the masses worldwide.
B.Before the spread of his idea，books were primarily handwritten.
C.Gutenberg made the world a much richer place.
D.It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type and printing.
E.Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all human beings.

8．As a working mother，my years passed without time for relaxing.The kids have been out of the nest，and I have been retired.Now I could take some time for ME!
（1）　B　 As a lifelong list maker，I did my research.There were relaxation activities like meditation （冥想），exercise，socializing...I was determined to find the one thing that truly filled my soul.And so began my not﹣so﹣smooth journey to finding myself.
Meditation was the first to come and go.I never fully understood how to shut my mind off.I always felt like I was just waiting for it to end.Next，I tried "Teatime as Me Time."（2）　C　 I imagined sitting across from a dear friend，drinking elegantly from delicate cups，but that is as far as it ever went.I have the fancy tea set （never used） and a shelf full of tea packages that I will never consume.Exercise is a highly recommended me﹣time activity.But for me，after a week or so of training，exercise time was killing me.（3）　D　
Many other me﹣time experiments left me wanting less of them，not more.I felt like a failure at this me﹣time thing.I could spend the whole morning watching the big，fuzzy bees in my garden.In those moments，time stood still.（4）　A　 I discovered that I truly desired less emphasis on me altogether.
Maybe the experts had this me﹣time thing all wrong，and it had little to do with "me" or "time" as I was defining it.Perhaps we are too concerned with how we spend our time instead of enjoying the nothing﹣ness of simply being.Instead of viewing it as a hesitation between activities，we can shift our awareness into welcoming timelessness.（5）　G　Maybe a better version of "me time" is simply "be time" ...or，better yet， "bee time"!
A.Taking the focus off myself was a relief.
B.Of course，there were many possibilities.
C.At first，I was very enthusiastic about this.
D.So，I eventually crossed these ideas off my list.
E.Sitting around feeling special doesn't feel special to me.
F.I still value all those busy years but I know I should learn to relax.
G.Witnessing simple moments of nature re﹣centered my soul better than anything else.
