B “How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf , you were able to accomplish so much?” Queen Victoria of England asked Helen Keller. Ms. Keller answered, “If it had not been for Anne Sullivan the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.” In fact, “Little Annie”, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself (due to a childhood fever) and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” and was locked in the basement of a mental institution. On occasion, Little Annie would even violently attack anyone who came near. An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. She still continued to visit for she believed Little Annie could recover, if she was shown love. Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl. Where they witnessed anger and coldness they noted gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released. Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she , herself, was helped by the kind nurse who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her, played with her and worked with her until the weak candle became a beacon of light to the world. She worked wonders in Helen’s life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher. “If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.” But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown. And so it goes. And how far forward will it lead? 25. When she was young, Little Annie . - 6 - A. enjoyed being locked in the basement of a mental institution B. suffered from mental illness C. showed her friendly attitude to others D. complained about her loneliness 26. Why did the “hopeless” Little Annie change into a helpful one? A. Because an efficient way was found by doctors to cure her illness. B. Because she was taken good care of by her relative. C. Because a nurse who was concerned about her helped her constantly. D. Because the illness was defeated by her own strong will. 27. How did Anne Sullivan help Helen Keller? A. She devoted her time to dealing with things for Helen Keller. B. She promised Helen Keller never to leave her. C. She encouraged Helen Keller to make friends with others. D. She trained Helen Keller to control her behavior. 28. Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A. Chain of Love B. A Caring Nurse C. Without Respect, Without Success D. God Help Those Who Help Themselves C Today many people say that women have the same chance as men in society. But this was not always so. In the past, women all over the world had to fight to get the same chance as men in education and jobs. Many people said that women should not receive much education because they would not do as well as men when they went to work. One woman who showed that women should have the same chance was Marie, a scientist. In the 1800s scientists knew that a metal, uranium, gave off radiation. They also knew how much radiation came from his element. But they didn’t know what this radiation was like; they wondered why and how uranium gave off radiation. Marie Curie set out to answer these questions. In one of her experiments she was studying a certain material which, she knew, contained uranium, but it gave off 4 times as much radiation as usually does. What could explain this fact? Marie Curie thought that there must - 7 - be another source of radiation in this material. In 1898 Marie Curie set out to find out this new source of radiation, which she named “radium”. Her husband, who was also a scientist, helped her. They set up a laboratory in an old building behind a school. For four years Curies searched, doing many experiments, and one morning in 1902 Marie found the source of the radiation. Marie Curie proved to the world that there was element that gave off radiation. And she also proved to the world that, if women are given truly equal chance, they can really help society. 29.The scientists of Marie Curie’s day knew . A. that radium gave off radiation B. that uranium gave off radiation C. that there was some radium in uranium D. that uranium and radium both gave off radiation 30.The Curies found the element radium . A. with other scientists’ help B. by asking some famous scientists C. with their teachers’ help D. by doing many experiments 31.In the past many people thought . A. that women could not do the work well B. that women should receive much education C. that women should get good jobs D. that women must get the same chance as men in education and jobs 32.Marie Curie proved to people . A. that there was a new element radium B. that women could do their work as well as men if they were really given the same conditions C. both A and B D. that there was a new element uranium D Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds(几率、胜算) of being depressed by about 16%, according to new UCL research carried out as part of the Public - 8 - Health Research Center. The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found a two-way relationship between depression and physical activity. People who increased their weekly activity reported fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages. Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood. They found that each additional activity period per week reduced odds of depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as “inactive”, and this study suggests that activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health. “Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression. If an adult between their twenties and forties who isn’t physically active became active 3 times per week, they would reduce their risks of depression by about 16%.” says Dr. Snehal of the UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study. Professor Mark, Director of the Public Health Research Center, said, “Many people are already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more evidence that suggest it also has a positive effect on a person’s mental well-being. The latest research highlights just how important it is to ensure that people are working and living in environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy.” 33. what does the passage mainly talk about？ A. To tell us a fun story about how to protect us against depression. B. To persuade readers to increase their weekly activity. C. To introduce a research on the link between activity and depression. D. To describe the disadvantages of physical activity. 34.According to the second paragraph, if people increase their weekly activity, ______. A. their depressive symptoms will be more - 9 - B. their depressive symptoms will be fewer C. they will become much younger D. they will become more depressive 35.The author shows his view mainly by_______. A. doing research B. trying on himself C. comparing and contrasting D. discussing and summarizing 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Study Links Video Game Use to Problems in School A new study warns that too much time spent playing computer games could affect a child's performance at school. 36 They show that too many hours spent playing games can reduce students' chances of success in school. More than 600 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16 took part in the research project. 37 It is said to be the first ever long－term study in Northern Ireland on the influence of information technology on school test results. The study found that teenagers who played computer games less than once a week were more successful in school than those who played them twice a day or more.41% of the students who used gaming devices two or more times a day received passing grades on school exams. 38 The study found that social media use did not affect school performance. Celine McStravick is the director of the National Children's Bureau Northern Ireland. She says the study showed no connection between social media and test results.“ 39 . I think that's more because social media is part of every child's life. It's the way they communicate. It's the way they keep in touch with their friends.” Many parents say their children are becoming increasingly dependent on computer games. Some have compared gaming to a drug addiction. 40 It suggested that computer - 10 - games can cause children to stay awake late at night. Less sleep makes children tired and unable to pay attention in school the next day. A. The new games are much different from older ones. B．Britain's National Children's Bureau Northern Ireland reported the results of the study. C．Drug addiction does great harm to their health and performance at school. D．That was compared with 77% of those who rarely played the games. E．It took place over a period of three years from 2013 to 2015. F．It was clear that social media didn't have any effect. G．However，the study did not explore addiction. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I believe in my mother.
