Father’s Example
At the age of 16, my father sat beneath the street light to study until exhaustion kicked in. Sometimes, if he was lucky, the school guard would let him slip into the empty corridors to 31 the cold. Other nights, the guard shooed him away. The 32 of electricity in the home he shared with six family members was one of the easier roadblocks to overcome on his path to becoming a 33 .
Despite poor conditions, supporting the whole family after Grandpa’s death, and the 60%

For the rest of high school, I hope to keep my grades 42 , excel on standardized tests, and participate in summer programs. I understand that grades do not define a person, but I am motivated to study, like my father, 43 I reach success.

Also, I realize that 46 is the groundwork of my future and that I must 47 a solid foundation in it to achieve my goals.

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40 分）
第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，共 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑。
A
In December 2017, I attended a conference. Five successful women delivered speeches on the topic “Bouncing Back after Setbacks.” As I sat there listening to their many personal and professional mistakes and setbacks, I felt fortunate that I hadn’t made that many mistakes in my own life.
Those women had lost thousands in investments, started companies but failed, sold companies that later ended up being worth millions, and lost partners in the name of business. Despite knowing that they had, in fact, bounced back and were again doing very well, I was starting to feel sorry for them.
Then, as if someone whispered in my ear, I heard the words: “Don’t be so proud of yourself. You haven’t made any mistakes because you haven’t lived at all. Look how boring your life is.” Whose voice was this, and how dare it speak to me like that?
I think, for the first time, I heard my own heart speak. It shook me to my core, and it took all I had to keep from crying. I started thinking of the mistakes I had made. The voice was right. There weren’t many at all. I had followed a straight path for 38 years. I went to school, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees with honors, and stayed at every job I’d had far longer than it was
professionally beneficial for me to do so. In fact, at 38, I had only had three jobs. “The devil(魔鬼)
you know is better than the one you don’t” was my motto.
A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadn’t taken that I was suddenly regretting. I hadn’t studied abroad. I hadn’t risked love. In fact, I was perpetually single. I hadn’t started a business. I hadn’t traveled enough. I had said “no” far more than “yes”.
The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year. It was like it laughed at me. The thought of turning forty frightened me. It’s one thing to be unhappy and unsettled in your twenties, and perhaps even in one’s thirties. But was I going to start a new decade with the same boredom? I needed something to pick me up, some activity I could look forward to.
How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers?
Regretful. B. Surprised. C. Lucky. D. Guilty.
The author felt like crying during the conference because she realized .
she hadn’t lived her life to the fullest
she was deeply touched by the women
she had nothing to be proud of in her life
she had made a lot of mistakes in her life
What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
The familiar devil is more frightening.
Saying “no” is better than saying “yes”.
It’s better to stay within the comfort zone.
You’d better change your job more frequently.
From the passage, we can learn that the author .
felt afraid of ageing
traveled abroad a lot
was married in her thirties
decided to do something new
B
Printable Tags Turn Everyday Objects into Smart Devices
Engineers have developed printable metal tags (标贴) that could be attached to everyday objects and turn them into smart Internet of Things devices.
The metal tags are made from copper foil (铜箔) printed onto
thin, flexible, paper-like materials to reflect WiFi signals. The tags work essentially like “mirrors” that reflect radio signals from a WiFi router. When a user’s finger touches these “mirrors”, it disturbs the reflected WiFi signals in such a way that can be remotely sensed by a WiFi receiver like a smartphone.
The tags can be nailed onto objects that people touch every day, like water bottles, walls or doors. These objects then become smart and connected devices that can signal a WiFi device whenever a user interacts with them. The tags can also be shaped into thin keypads or smart home control panels that can be used to remotely operate WiFi-connected speakers and other Internet of Things devices.
Xinyu Zhang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, named the technology
LiveTag. He pictures people using LiveTag technology to track human interaction with everyday objects. For example, LiveTag could potentially be used to assess the recovery of patients who have suffered from stroke (中风). “When patients return home, they could use this technology to provide data based on how they interact with everyday objects at home, whether they are opening or closing doors in a normal way, or if they are able to pick up bottles of water, for example. The amount, intensity and frequency of their activities could be recorded and sent to their doctors to evaluate their
recovery,” said Zhang. “And this can all be done in the comfort of their own homes rather than having to keep going back to the clinic for frequent testing,” he added.
The researchers note several limitations of the technology. LiveTag currently cannot work with a WiFi receiver further than one meter away, so researchers are working on improving the tag sensitivity and detection range. Ultimately, the team aims to develop a way to make the tags using normal paper and ink printing, which would make them cheaper to mass produce.
When people touch a printable metal tag, .
they are actually touching a mirror
the WiFi router will stop sending signals
the reflected WiFi signals will be disturbed
their fingers can be sensed by a WiFi router
LiveTag can probably be used to .
precisely locate everyday objects
remotely control a WiFi-connected TV
easily block signals from WiFi devices
greatly improve one’s physical condition
LiveTag helps stroke patients by .
evaluating the process of their recovery
sending data of their activities to doctors
connecting their smartphones with doctors’
recording doctors’ assessments of their recovery
C
How to Make Friends, According to Science
Friendship is one of life’s most important features, and one too often taken for granted.
The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finite—we can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of people’s social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average person’s friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don’t.
So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, don’t refuse to consider the humble acquaintance（交情）. Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building
deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.
If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a
dash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever they’ve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails,
you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don’t know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.
Longing for closeness and connection is common and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby,
and try to make a friend.
From Paragraph 2, we can know that .
a strong social relationship can guarantee a long life
real friendships are based on the exchange of presents
people’s inner circle is decreasing despite large social networks
people’s social networks depend on their desire for companionship
What does the author suggest to improve one’s social life?
Sharing secrets with close friends.
Choosing likable people as friends.
Avoiding the humble acquaintance.
Spending time for deeper friendships.
What is the passage mainly about?
The tips on how to develop friendship.
The reasons for seeking companionship.
The benefits brought by a good social life.
The relationship between friendship and happiness.
The author helps readers better understand his idea mainly by .
using research results B. making comparisons
C. giving some examples D. telling personal stories
D
Understanding Chinese Culture: The Challenge to the West
Late last year, a New Zealand newspaper reported that China was sending 120 doctors to a Pacific island to assist with their community health. A positive action, one might think, but the focus of the story was to ask what China was doing in the Pacific, and how we have failed to the extent that we have allowed this to happen. What are the Chinese doing on “our patch”?
In fact, the rise of China is to a certain degree promoted as a threat. The challenge to the West, then, is to improve an appreciation of what China is. How does China’s cultural heritage present a positive advantage to the world?
To understand this, it is important to consider the foundations of Chinese culture and society. China has more than 5,000 years of uninterrupted cultural development. We at least need to go back 2,500 years to study Taoism, for its cultural and philosophical roots, and Confucius for his social philosophy and influence on society.
Taoism provides us with many aspects of the special nature of Chinese culture and philosophy. The concept of yin and yang in Taoism, which brings us balance through the integration of opposites, is well-known but not fully understood in the West. Chinese medicine, which tends to take a longer time to take effect, with a focus to work in harmony with the body, is to restore imbalance causing diseases rather than targeting only the specific symptom or problem area.
Confucius’ contribution to Chinese society also provides a difference to Western society. Eastern society places the community as the most important component of society. In Western society, it is the individual that is considered to be the unit of society, compatible with an objective analysis of issues.
Considering a monkey, cow and banana, which is the odd one out? The vast majority of Chinese will choose the cow because the monkey eats the banana, which gives food to the monkey. Western people invariably choose the banana because they see the objective classification of the monkey and cow. The consideration of these two responses, and extension into deeper philosophical understanding, presents a major difference between Chinese and Western thought.
Therefore, the challenge to the West is to embrace an alternative perspective on issues. It is time
for Western media to seek a balance in reporting affairs, and critiqu（e It is time for a Chinese voice to be heard in the West.
评判）the Western perspective.
The news report in the first paragraph _.
tells a story of Chinese doctors B. demonstrates the concern of the West
C. stresses the decline of Western culture D. shows the medical development of China
Why is Chinese medicine mentioned in the passage?
To help better understand Taoism.
To define the concept of yin and yang.
To emphasize the contributions of Taoism.
To express the author’s pride in Chinese culture.
We can learn from the passage that .
Taoism has a greater influence than Confucianism
Confucianism finds balance in integrating opposites
the West takes China’s cultural heritage as an advantage
Eastern society considers community the essential unit of society
The author’s purpose of writing the passage is to .
warn the West of the threat of China
introduce to the West what China really is
recommend the West to accept the rise of China
appeal to the West to have an objective attitude to China

People worldwide are living longer. Today, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. By 2050, the world’s population aged 60 and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015.
While this shift in proportion (比例) of a country’s population towards older ages---known as
ageing---started in high-income countries, for example in Japan, 30% of the population are already over 60 years old, it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change. 66
At the biological level, ageing results from molecular (分子的) and cellular damage over time.
This leads to a growing risk of disease and eventually death. 67 That’s why we say there is no “typical” older person. While some 70 year-olds enjoy extremely good health, other 70 year-olds are weak and require a lot of help from others.
68 Retirement, relocation and the death of friends and partners are some of the possible reasons. For example, moving older people to a better house, which seems an admirable behavior, may do harm to their health eventually.
69 Some people believe older people can be active and productive. A longer life brings opportunities, both for older people themselves and for society. They can pursue new activities such as further education or a new career. They also contribute in many ways to
communities. 70 This can lead to discrimination against older people. Therefore, society as a whole needs to address the ageist attitude by developing sound policies and offering various opportunities so that older people can experience fulfilling ageing.
Nobody can ever escape from the ageing process.
But these changes are only loosely linked to a person’s age.
Yet the extent of their contribution depends heavily on their health.
Beyond biological changes, ageing is also related to other life changes.
Although ageing is a universal trend, views towards older people divide.
However, to others, older people are weak, dependent, and a burden to society.
By 2050, many countries like Chile and China will have a similar rate of older people to Japan.

One Possible Version
Last Friday night, faced with overwhelming academic tasks, I found myself on the verge of breaking down. With Gaokao approaching day by day, I was under great pressure. Having noticed all this, Mom suggested I relax a little bit during the weekend.
The next morning, my parents and I went to the park for a walk. The pavement there was covered with fallen leaves in yellow and orange, creating a unique scenery for this season. Holding a leaf in hand, I casually exchanged anecdotes with my parents, feeling the relaxation that I had been missing for a long time.
After lunch, we went rock climbing. Though the wall was high and steep, I was determined to conquer it. With my parents’ encouragement, I eventually managed to reach the top. At that moment, my confidence was restored.
On Monday morning, my parents saw me off at the school gate. Their warm smiles and raised thumbs filled me with energy. I waved them goodbye and promised to devote myself to the preparation for Gaokao. This weekend would go a long way with me as it was a new starting point, from which I believe I could go far.
