Each of us struggles for self-respect and self-worth to some degree. I spent much time trying to achieve perfection in every aspect of my life. I was a happy kid with a lot of friends and a supportive family. But growing up was really 31__ and even scary sometimes.
During my childhood, I was constantly involved in something that included people’s viewing my achievements or my 32_ . I wanted everyone’s praise and acceptance, but I was my own toughest critic (挑剔的人).
After I graduated from high school, my 33 to be “thin” began to trouble me. I began trying to diet by 34 my food.
In the beginning, I felt great—attractive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought that I was better than everyone else. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly 35 myself.
People around me began to 36 my weight loss. They said with concern. “You’re losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you’re so thin.” All their words only suggested that I was getting closer to “ 37 ” .
Sadly, I took my physical 38 the first important in my life, 39 that it was the way to become successful and accepted.
Then I cut down my 40 more and more, until a 41 day consisted of half a teaspoon of nonfat yoghurt and coffee in the morning, and a cup of grapes at night.
But my poor 42 began to cause me to lose 43_ . Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn’t sleep, and my heart felt as though it might beat out of my chest. I tried to 44 , but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer 45 . What I had done to diet nearly caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really 46 , and I knew I needed help. My roommate rushed me to the 47 , beginning the long road to my 48 . It took a lot—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, food supplements…
And most important, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality. I realized that, with my 49 of trying to be “ perfect ” on the 50 , I had sacrificed who I was on the inside. What I know now is, we are—each and every one of us—already perfect.

Each year, 500 million people from 164 countries celebrate World Environment Day on 5 June. It may seem like there is not much that an individual can do to save the world, but there is. One of the first steps is to understand the problems and their solutions.
Try to learn about your ecosystem, endangered animals and pollution. If you are well-informed, you can make better decisions about how to save energy and produce less waste. You can also learn how to be a better consumer and not buy products made from endangered animals or which have too much packaging. Also share your concerns with others and find ways to promote environmental education. Help educate people in your community about ways in which they can help protect the environment. The Earth is our only home. We should take good care of it.
Recycle
Make a list of all the things you can recycle at home and at school and start recycling. In some cases, you can sell the things you recycle. In others, you can turn unwanted items into something useful for another purpose, such as using old plastic bottles for growing plants. Most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass. And recycling aluminum cans saves 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum from bauxite ore. Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees, 26,000 liters of water, 1,700 liters of oil, 266 kilograms of air pollution and 2.3 cubic meters of rubbish dump space.
Use less energy
The easiest way to save energy is to cycle or walk whenever possible instead of using public transportation. At home and at school, you should only use electric lights and electrical appliances when you need them. There are many other less obvious ways of saving energy. For example, try to ask your mum to buy food which has been grown locally. Why? When people buy food from far away, it takes extra energy to package and ship it by boat, train, truck or plane.
Save water
You can save water by helping your Dad repair leaking pipes and toilets. Take short showers instead of baths. Some waste water from baths can be used for other purposes, such as watering plants or washing outdoor spaces. It is important to help preserve the local water quality by not pouring dangerous household chemicals down the drain or into the ground. Dispose of them properly.
54. The target readers of this passage could mostly probably be ________.
A. housewives B. car drivers C. businessmen D. students
55. Which of the following is NOT mentioned to protect the Earth?
A. Don't buy products made from endangered animals.
B. Don't buy food produced in faraway places.
C. Don't order more than you can eat at a restaurant.
D. Don't buy goods with heavy packaging.
56. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. You can do these! B. Recycling to save the Earth
C. Celebrate the World Environment Day! D. Use less water and energy
C
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
57. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
B. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
58. The author explains the law of overlearning by .
A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules
C. using examples D. making a comparison
59. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is .
A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies
60. What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It increases students' learning interest.
C. It's possible to result in poor memory. D. It's helpful only in a limited way.
D
Most teens can't wait to learn to drive. Not so with me. Driving made me nervous. I didn't get a license until I turned 24 years old. As a result, when I first married, we only had one car and car pooled to work. My husband's hours were different from mine by one hour. I worked earlier. So he dropped me off and went to the diner to drink coffee until work time.
Then, in the afternoons, I leisurely walked the three miles to his work place where I waited in his car, reading a book.
One day while waiting for him, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot. It was powder blue and sleek looking. The kind of car you dream about. I was busily admiring the car, when I noticed the driver. Honestly, she was probably the prettiest woman I had ever seen off the movie screen.
She pulled into the spot beside our car and it was all I could do not to stare. There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor. Jet black hair and alabaster skin. Our eyes made contact and she smiled at me. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and teeth like an even row of pearls. She was wearing a light blue shirt that just matched her car. Peeking through her long, softly curled hair I could see gold hoop earrings. They had to be gold to shine like that. A couple of minutes later, a nice looking man came out of the building, entered her car, leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.
Sitting there in my jeans, shirt and hair in a pony tail, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?
Maybe I would have forgotten about her, but the following week, I saw her again. Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week. She seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy lingered long after she drove away.
Many nights when sleep evaded me, I would think about the beautiful lady. I wondered if she and her husband ate out, and where they dined, and what she was wearing. I wanted her to get out of the car and let me see her full length. Did she wear really high heeled shoes and pants, or a skirt.
I would get my answers in a couple of weeks.
Sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding my book, watching her over the top of it. She was waiting and when her husband came to the car, she called to him. They spoke a few words and he opened the car door for her to step out. He took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She was wearing a skirt.
She haltingly walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane. Sitting sideways in the car, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other one. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis (假肢) on the left leg and a brace on the right leg. I couldn't watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. For weeks I had envied this woman and her way of life, while I had been able to walk three miles to our car!
When my husband arrived and found me crying, he immediately asked what was wrong. Through my tears, I told him about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and also knew the story. The beautiful lady and her parents were in a car that either stalled or got caught on the railroad tracks and was hit by a train. Both parents were killed and she was severely injured. She was only 12 years old. The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals. He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.
I prayed for forgiveness all the way home. The lady I thought had everything I didn't. I realized how lucky I was to have my parents, the ability to walk, run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can't buy. I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything.
When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don't be fooled.
61. In the afternoons the woman walked three miles to her husband’s work place to___.
A. take exercise on the way B. meet the beautiful lady
C. enjoy the scenery and reading D. wait for her husband
62. After seeing the beautiful lady, the woman concluded_______.
A. the beautiful lady led a rich and happy life
B. the beautiful lady liked to show off herself
C. she and her husband must make more money
D. she shouldn’t have married her husband
63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The woman learned that health and family are more important.
B. The woman was poor and couldn’t afford another car and fancy clothes.
C. The woman envied the beautiful lady of her capable husband.
D. The woman regretted marrying her husband.
64.The underlined word “haltingly”(paragraph 10) probably means________.
A. proudly B. excitedly C. difficultly D. steadily
65.Which of the following do you think can be the best title of the passage?
A. Seeing is believing B. Trust her heart instead of her look
C. Looks can be deceiving D. Fooled by her look
第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
Once kids hit the teenage years, parenting becomes more difficult than ever. Establishing(建立)effective house rules is one of the best ways to educate teenagers. House rules must respect teenagers’ desire to be independent and make sure they behave responsibly.
How can effective house rules be established?
First of all, get your teenager to take part in making the rules, which can help keep them motivated to follow them. Ask their opinion about what sorts of things they think are important when creating the rules and try to include some of their ideas.
When creating the list of rules, don’t list every single rule imaginable. Instead, try to limit it to the ten most important rules. I’ve seen some parents come up with several pages of rules which turn out to be more like a rule book rather than a list. Remember, it is important to make the list easy to remember and to be a basic guide.
Then, it is important that you write out the list of rules and hang them in a prominent (显眼的) location. Keeping the rules on the refrigerator or displayed somewhere where everyone can see them is a good reminder. Revise the rules whenever there’s a need, not very frequently though.
Explain clearly in advance what negative result will be in store when a rule gets broken. But ensure that none of your results are equal to abusive(虐待的) parenting. For example, take off the rule that says — “if you don’t get home by 11 at night, make arrangements to stay elsewhere until morning”. Let helping with small household chores like cleaning up their own rooms serve as a result of breaking rules.
Follow these tips on establishing effective house rules accompanied by constant positive reinforcement (执行),and you will see the improvement in your teenager’s behavior. Hope you can direct your teenager to become a responsible and independent person with the help of house rules!
Title

With the rise in popularity of smart phones and tablets (平板电脑), many Chinese are taking to e-reading.
A recent report by E-surfing Reading Culture Communications points to the trend (趋势). According to the report, the company’s users in second and third tier cities read more digital books than those in Beijing or Shanghai. Taizhou, a costal city in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province, with around 6 million people, topped the chart with an annual average readership of 10.5 e-books in 2017. The national average was 2.48 titles in 2016. The report shows interesting reading habits across different provinces, regions and cities.
The advancement of information technology is shaping new reading habits. E-books are becoming more popular with readers of all ages around the world. Compared with traditional paper books, e-books are cheaper, more accessible, easy to carry and environment-friendly. The question is -- will e-books some day replace paper books? Or will they always remain just another choice?

作文
A recent report shows the great popularity of e-reading in China nowadays, with readers in small and medium-sized cities reading more e-books than those in big cities.
Needless to say, e-books have many advantages. First of all, producing e-books needs no paper, which means numerous forests will be saved. Secondly, e-books are very convenient to carry. With a mobile device, we can take and read e-books wherever we go. Last but not least, e-books are much cheaper than paper books.
Despite the great popularity of e-books, there will always be a place and need for paper books. Compared with e-books, paper books have their own unique advantages, too. Not only is reading paper books better for eyes, but it also offers us a more real and pleasant experience. So I don’t think e-books will take the place of paper books completely. Instead, both of them will co-exist in the future.
