For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that bet fits each blank.‎ Procrastination - a Virtue When It Comes to Creativity?‎ Psychologist Adam Grant, from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, argues that people who “put off” solving a task for a little while - thus engaging in moderate procrastination -- are often able to come up with ___1___ (original) ideas about how to solve that task than people who get started on their work right away.‎ Grant makes this argument in the book Originals: How Non-conformists Change the World and reiterates it in a popular TED talk ___2___ he says that “procrastination is a vice when it comes to productivity, but it can be a virtue when it comes to creativity.” This point of view seems ___3___ (find) some support in existing studies that indicate a correlation between creativity and “putting things off.”‎ Grant explains that the link between moderate procrastination and originality likely ___4___ (exist) because when we actively put off a task for a while, our preoccupation with the task itself does not disappear. Instead, the unfinished work “runs in the background” of our brains, ___5___ (buy) us time to find innovative solutions.‎ One study ___6___ (publish) in Personality and Individual Differences in 2017 also found a link between creative ideation (coming up with creative ideas) and active procrastination. It suggested that among 853 undergraduates at Chinese universities, “active procrastinators” may be more prone to creativity.‎ Boredom ___7___ have something to do with this boost in creative thinking. Older research from the University of Florida in Gainesville suggests that people who procrastinate may be more prone to boredom than their peers.‎ And while boredom itself is a concept that sometimes has negative connotations, ‎ studies ___8___ (show) that allowing ourselves to feel bored for a while can boost our creative abilities. The researchers explain that this may be because when we are bored, we allow our minds to wander, thus “training” our imaginations.‎ Finally, ___9___ putting off a task forever out of fear and self-doubt may be paralyzing and unhelpful, a little bit of “directed” procrastination will likely not be harmful and may allow us to assess the task at hand more imaginatively.‎ And for some of us, that pressure of looking a deadline straight in the eye can be just ___10___ we need to keep us on our toes. As Calvin, one of the main characters in the comic strips Calvin and Hobbes, once said : “You can’t just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood,” and that mood is “last - minute panic.”‎ ‎【答案】1. more original ‎ ‎2. where 3. to have found ‎ ‎4. exists 5. buying ‎ ‎6. published ‎ ‎7. may 8. have shown ‎ ‎9. although ‎ ‎10. what ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。主要说明了心理学家提出那些“推迟”一段时间解决某项任务的人往往能够就如何解决这项任务提出比那些马上开始工作的人更具创意的想法。研究还发现，创造性思维与主动拖延之间存在联系。并列举了不同的研究看法。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 考查形容词比较级。句意：那些“推迟”一段时间解决任务的人往往比那些马上开始工作的人更能想出解决任务的更新颖的想法。根据下文than people who get started on their work right away.可知应用形容词比较级，故填more original。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 考查定语从句关系词。句意：格兰特在《原创:不墨守成规者如何改变世界》一书中提出了这一观点，并在一次受欢迎的TED演讲中重申了这一观点，他说:“拖延对于生产力来说是一种恶习，但对于创造力来说却是一种美德。”本句为定语从句修饰先行词a popular TED ‎ talk，且先行词在从句中做地点状语，应用关系副词where。故填where。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：这一观点似乎在现有的研究中已经找到了一些支持，这些研究表明创造力和“拖延”之间存在关联。短语seem to do“好像”，且结合语境可知强调“发现”动作发生在谓语动作之前应用to have done形式，故填to have found。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 考查动词时态。句意：格兰特解释说，适度的拖延和创造性之间的联系可能存在，因为当我们积极地把一项任务推迟一段时间时，我们对任务本身的关注并没有消失。本句主语为the link，且分析上下文可知为一般现在时，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填exists。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：相反，未完成的工作在我们大脑的“后台运行”，为我们找到创新的解决方案赢得了时间。本句中buy做非谓语动词，与上文整个句子构成主动关系，应用现在分词。故填buying。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：2017年发表在《个性与个体差异》上的一项研究也发现，创造性思维(想出创造性想法)和积极拖延之间存在联系。本句中publish做非谓语动词与逻辑主语study构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填published。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 考查情态动词。句意：无聊可能与这种创造性思维的激发有关。根据下文动词为原形可知应填情态动词，且结合句意表示“可能”。故填may。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 考查动词时态。句意：虽然无聊本身是一个有时带有负面含义的概念，但研究表明，让自己感到无聊一段时间可以提高我们的创造力。此处强调过去的发生的动作对现在产生的影响，应用现在完成时，主语为studies。故填have shown。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 考查连词。句意：最后，尽管出于恐惧和自我怀疑而永远推迟一项任务可能会让人感到麻痹和无益，但一点点“定向”拖延可能不会有害，并可能让我们更有想象力地评估手头的任务。本句为让步状语从句，表示“尽管”且位于句首。故填although。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 考查连词。句意：对我们中的一些人来说，直视截止日期的压力正是我们保持警觉所需要的。本句为表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指代事件，故填what。‎ Section B Directions; Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎(A)‎ The Ebro Delta, in Spain, famous as a battleground during the Spanish Ci War, is now the setting for a different contest, one that is making rice farmers fight against two enemies: the rice - eating giant apple snail, and rising sea levels. What happens here will have a bearing on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.‎ Located on the Mediterranean, just two hours south of Barcelona, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent most important rice - growing areas. As the sea creeps into these fresh-watch marshes, however, rising salinity（盐度）is hurting rice production. At the same time, this sea - water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pet species that fees on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become the play one enemy off against the other.‎ The battle is currently being waged on land, in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the banner “Project Neurice” are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish and Italian dishes.‎ ‎“ The project has two sides,” says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona. “The short -term fight against the snail, and a mid-to long term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater emergency.”‎ Originally from South America, the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Technologies, a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums（水族馆）but failed to prevent their escape. For now, the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat.‎ ‎“The question is not whether it will reach other rice - growing areas of Europe, but when.”‎ Over the next year and a half investigators will test the various strains of salt - tolerant rice they’ve bred. In 2018, farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe’s other two main rice- growing regions along the Po in Italy, and France’s Rhone. A season in the field will help determine which, if any of the varieties are ready for commercialization.‎ As an EU - funded effort, the search for salt - tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries. Each team is crossbreeding a local European short - grain rice with a long - grain Asian variety that carries the salt resistant gene. The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that in corporate salt tolerance but retain about 97 percent of the European rice genome（基因组）.‎ ‎36. Why does the author mention the Spanish Civil War at the beginning of the passage?‎ A. Because it significantly influences the lives of Spanish rice farmers.‎ B. Because it is extremely important in the records of Spanish history.‎ C. Because rice farmers there are engaged in another kind of battle of similar importance.‎ D. Because rice farmers there are experiencing the hardships of wartime.‎ ‎37. What may be the most effective strategy for rice farmers to employ in fighting their enemies?‎ A. Striking the weaker enemy first.‎ B. Killing two birds with one stone.‎ C. Eliminating the enemy one by one.‎ D. Using one enemy to fight against the other.‎ ‎38. What does the Neurice project manager say about the giant apple snail?‎ A. It can survive only on southern European wetlands.‎ B. It will invade other rice - growing regions of Europe.‎ C. It multiplies at a speed beyond human imagination.‎ D. It was introduced into the rice fields on purpose.‎ ‎39. What is the ultimate goal of the EU - funded program?‎ A. Cultivating ideal salt resistant rice varieties.‎ B. Increasing the absorbency of the Spanish rice.‎ C. Introducing Spanish rice to the rest of Europe.‎ D. Popularizing the rice crossbreeding technology.‎ ‎【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。主要说明了西班牙埃布罗三角洲如今正被吃水稻的巨型苹果蜗牛和不断上升的海平面所威胁。文章解释了背后的原因，以及科学家们正在寻找能够承受不断升高的盐度、同时又不丧失吸收能力的大米品种，同时预计巨型苹果蜗牛未来会继续入侵欧洲其他水稻种植区。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段The Ebro Delta, in Spain, famous as a battleground during the Spanish Ci War, is now the setting for a different contest, one that is making rice farmers fight against two enemies: the rice - eating giant apple snail, and rising sea levels.（西班牙的埃布罗三角洲曾是西班牙Ci战争期间著名的战场，现在这里又成了另一场竞赛的场地，在这场竞赛中稻农们与两个敌人作战:吃水稻的巨型苹果蜗牛和不断上升的海平面。）可知作者在文章的开头提到了西班牙内战，是因为那里的稻农正在进行另一种同样重要的战争。故选C。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中The most promising strategy has become the play one enemy off against the other.（最有希望的策略是一个敌人对付另一个敌人。）可知用一个敌人对付另一个敌人可能是稻农对付敌人最有效的策略。故选D。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段For now, the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is ‎ limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat.（目前，巨型苹果蜗牛在欧洲的存在仅限于埃布罗三角洲。但Serrat说，蜗牛继续向新的领域进军。）可知Neurice项目经理表示，巨型苹果蜗牛将入侵欧洲其他水稻种植区。故选B。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句As an EU - funded effort, the search for salt - tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries.（作为欧盟资助的一项努力，这三个国家都在寻找耐盐水稻品种。）可知欧盟资助项目的最终目标是培育理想的耐盐水稻品种。故选A。‎ ‎(B)‎ Information for Visitors.‎ For large print versions and access information ask at the Information Desk in the Great Court call +44 (0) 30 7323 8299, or visit britishmuseum.org Opening times Great Court Saturday - Thursday 09:00 - 18:00‎ Friday 09:00 - 20:30‎ Galleries and special exhibitions Saturday - Thursday 10:00 - 17:30‎ Friday 10:00 - 20:30‎ Please note that galleries start closing 10 minutes before the published closing times.‎ For a list of late openings, visit britishmuseum.org or contact the Information Desk by calling +44 (0) 20 7323 8299‎ The Museum is closed on 1 January, Good Friday and 24026 December.‎ Access Most galleries, events and facilities at the British Museum have level access including all the cafes and the restaurant.

Our humanness arises out of these relationships in the course of social interaction. Moreover, our humanness must be sustained through social interaction -- and fairly constantly so. When an association continues long enough for two people to become linked together by a relatively stable set of expectations, it is called a relationship.‎ People are bound within relationships by two types of bonds: expressive ties and instrumental ties. Expressive ties are social links formed when we emotionally invest ourselves in and commit ourselves to other people. Through association with people who are meaningful to us, we achieve a sense of security, love, acceptance, companionship, and personal worth. Instrumental ties are social links focused when we cooperate with other people to achieve some goal.‎ Occasionally, this may mean working with, instead of against, competitors. More often, we simply cooperate with others to reach some end without endowing the relationship with any larger significance.‎ Sociologists have built on the distinction between expressive and instrumental ‎ ties to distinguish between two types of groups: primary and secondary. A primary group involves two or more people who enjoy a direct, intimate, cohesive relationship with one another. Expressive ties predominate in primary groups: we view the people as ends in themselves and valuable in their own right. A secondary group entails two or more people who are involved in an impersonal relationship and have come together for a specific, practical purpose. Instrumental ties predominate in secondary groups ; we perceive people as means to ends rather than as ends in their own right. sometimes primary group relationships evolve out of secondary group relationships. This happens in many work settings. People on the job often develop close relationships with coworkers as they come to share gripes, jokes, gossip, and satisfactions.‎ A number of conditions enhance the likelihood that primary groups will arise. First, group size is important. We find it difficult to get to know people personally when they are milling about and dispersed in large groups. In small groups we have a better chance to initiate contact and establish rapport with them. Second, face - to - face contact allows us to size up others. Seeing and talking with one another in close physical proximity makes possible a subtle exchange of ideas and feelings. And third, the probability that we will develop primary group bonds increases as we have frequent and continuous contact. Our ties with people often deepen as we interact with them across time and gradually evolve interlocking habits and interests.‎ Primary groups are fundamental to us and to society. Sociologists view primary groups as bridges between individuals and the larger society because they transmit, mediate, and interpret a society’s cultural patterns and provide the sense of oneness so critical for social solidarity. Primary groups, then serve both as carriers of social norms and as enforcers of them.‎ ‎43. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true of a relationship?‎ A. It is a structure of associations with many people.‎ B. It should be studied in the course of social interaction.‎ C. It places great demands on people.‎ D. It develops gradually over time.‎ ‎44. Which of the following can be inferred from the author’s claim in paragraph 4 that primary group relationships sometimes evolve out of secondary group relationships?‎ A. Secondary group relationships begin by being primary group relationships.‎ B. A secondary group relationship that is highly visible quickly becomes a primary group relationship.‎ C. Sociologists believe that only primary group relationships are important to society.‎ D. Even in secondary groups, frequent communication serves to bring people into close relationships.‎ ‎45. The phrase “size up” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “________”.‎ A. enlarge B. evaluate C. impress D. accept ‎46. This passage is developed primarily by ________.‎ A. drawing comparisons between theory and practice B. presenting two opposing theories C defining important concepts D. discussing causes and their effects ‎【答案】43.

People on the job often develop close relationships with coworkers as they come to share gripes, jokes, gossip, and satisfactions.（这在很多工作环境中都会发生。在工作中，当人们分享抱怨、笑话、八卦和乐事时，他们经常会与同事建立亲密的关系。）可知从作者在第4段中提出的主要群体关系有时由次要群体关系演变而来的观点中，我们可以推断出即使在第二群体中，频繁的交流也有助于人们建立亲密的关系。故选D。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据下文Seeing and talking with one another in close physical proximity makes possible a subtle exchange of ideas and feelings.可知近距离的观察和交谈使思想和感情的微妙交流成为可能。即面对面的接触让我们能够评估他人。故短语意思为“评估”，故选B。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章主要内容，尤其是第二段主要说明了人们关系中的两种纽带关系的含义，以及第四段说明了由这两种关系而发展而来的两个群体的含义和区别。可推知这篇文章主要是通过定义重要的概念来展开的。故选C。‎ Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ It’s time to re-evaluate how women handle conflict at work. Being overworked or over-committed at home and on the job will not get ou where you want to be in life. It will only slow you down and hinder your career goals.‎ Did you know women are more likely than men to feel exhausted? Nearly twice as many women than men ages 18-44 reported feeling, “very tired” or “exhausted,” according to a recent study.‎ ‎______47______ It’s also the age range when many women are trying to balance careers and home. One reason women may feel exhausted is that they have a hard time saying “no.” Women want to be able to do it all -- volunteer for school parties or cook delicious meals -- and so their answer to any request is often “Yes, I can.”‎ Women struggle to say “no” in the workplace for similar reasons, including the ‎ desire to be liked by their colleagues. _____48_____.‎ At the workplace, men use conflict as a way to position themselves, while women often avoid conflict or strive to be the peacemaker, because they don’t want to be viewed as aggressive or disruptive at work. ____49____ Men are more likely to face that dispute from the perspective of what benefits them most, whereas women may approach the same dispute from the perspective of what’s the easiest and quickest way to resolve the problem -- even if that means doing the boring work themselves.‎ This difference in handling conflict could be the deciding factor in who gets promoted to a leadership position and who does not. _____50_____ Shouldering more of the workload may not earn you that promotion. Instead, It may highlight your inability to delegate effectively.‎ A. Unfortunately, this inability to say “no” may be hurting women’s heath as well as their career.‎ B. Leaders have to be able to delegate and manage resources wisely -- including staff expertise.‎ C. For example, there’s a problem that needs to be addressed immediately, resulting in a dispute over who should be the one to fix it.‎ D. Men and women tend to behave differently when faced with a dispute E. This may not be surprising given that this is the age range when women have children .‎ F. The reason why women in this age range suffer so much is that they cannot say “no.”‎ ‎【答案】47. E 48. A 49. C 50. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。根据最近的一项研究，18-44岁的女性中感到“非常累”或“筋疲力尽”的人数几乎是男性的两倍。女性感到疲惫的一个原因是她们很难说“不”，包括生活和工作中。文章继续说明了在工作场所中男性和女性处理冲突方式的不同，指出处理冲突的这种差异要求领导者必须能够明智地分配和管理资源。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 根据下文It’s also the age range when many women are trying to balance careers and home.（这个年龄段也是许多女性试图平衡事业和家庭的年龄。）中the age ‎ range可对应到E选项中this is the age range when women have children。表示“考虑到这是女性生育孩子的年龄范围，这可能不足为奇。”符合上下文语境。故选E。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 结合上文Women struggle to say “no” in the workplace for similar reasons, including the desire to be liked by their colleagues.（出于类似的原因，女性在职场中也很难说“不”，包括想要被同事喜欢。）中say “no”可对应到A选项中this inability to say “no”，且表示“不幸的是，这种不能说“不”的能力可能会损害女性的健康和事业。”符合上下文语境。故选A。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 结合下文Men are more likely to face that dispute from the perspective of what benefits them most, whereas women may approach the same dispute from the perspective of what’s the easiest and quickest way to resolve the problem -- even if that means doing the boring work themselves.（男人更倾向于从什么对他们最有利角度来面对争端，而女人则可能从什么是解决问题最简单、最快捷的方法来面对同样的争端——即使那意味着自己要做那些无聊的工作。）可推知是在说明面对一个解决问题的争端，男人和女人的不同反应。故C选项“例如，有一个问题需要立即解决，导致了关于谁应该解决它的争论。”符合上下文语境。故选C。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 结合下文Shouldering more of the workload may not earn you that promotion. Instead, It may highlight your inability to delegate effectively.（承担更多的工作量可能不会让你得到晋升。相反，它可能会突出你无法有效地委派工作。）可推知面对任务的分配，一个领导必须能够做出明智的决定，否则承担更多的工作量可能不会让你得到晋升。相反，它可能会突出你无法有效地委派工作。故B选项“领导者必须能够明智地分配和管理资源——包括员工的专业技能。”符合上下文语境。故选B。‎ Ⅳ. Summary Writing ‎51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.‎ Researchers have just offered evidence in a study that says obesity appears to spread through social ties, much like a virus. When one person gains weight, their close friends often follow. But the finding might also offer hope.‎ The researchers examined more than 40,000 social ties. They found that a person’s chance of becoming severely overweight increased by 57% if a friend had become obese. A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance of becoming obese. The risk for a wife or husband was a little less than that.‎ Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medial School was a lead investigator in the study. He says there is a direct causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by a friend. The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence. In same-sex friendships a person had a 70% increased risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44% increased risk of becoming obese after weight gain in brother. In sisters, it was 67%.‎ The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each other. James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, was the other lead investigator. He says a friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same neighborhood. He says the study demonstrates the need to consider that a major part of people’s health is tied to their social connections.‎ Both investigators say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical issue, but a public health problem.‎ ‎【答案】Researchers have offered evidence in a study that says obesity appears to spread through social ties，which means there is a direct causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by a friend.

In my view, this is a development that can lead to beneficial changes.‎ First of all, the influence of online shopping can promote the service quality of physical stores. I remember once I went shopping in a shopping mall, a shopping assistant thought that I had no consumption ability because I was a student, so I had a lukewarm attitude from her.
