In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she'd done when she arrived at her doctor's San Francisco office. "It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms," the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.‎ She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was chipping(剥落). It was a depressing room for a depressing routine - patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls. Ballard didn't have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients. "I couldn't imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that," she says. As it happens, Ballard's physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place.‎ She started by e-mailing 20 local designers. "I wrote, 'You don't know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms," she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate their time ‎ and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford's rooms each.‎ As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. "All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it," he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.‎ Ballard was so encouraged by the patients' reactions that she created a nonprofit, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. "We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon cutting, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer," says Ballard. "When she saw what we'd done, she said, 'I'm gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn't going to, but now I know I'm gonna beat it"‎ ‎24. What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?‎ A. Her sympathy for cancer patients. B. Her passion for room decoration.‎ C. The good relationship with Hufford. D. The request of a nurse in San Francisco.‎ ‎25. What outcome does Ballard's effort bring about?‎ A. More hospitals will be built, ‎ B. Hufford cured more patients.‎ C. The cancer patients were feeling better. ‎ D. Hufford's chemotherapy rooms got good fame.‎ ‎26. Which words best describe Nancy Ballard?‎ A. Ambitious and creative. B. Talented and energetic.‎ C. Rich and generous. D. Loving and devoted. ‎ ‎27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage?‎ A. Design for Hope B. Battle against Cancer C. Donation for Patients D. Decoration in Hospital C University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.‎ The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access social media. “We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life.” Hunt said.‎ The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.‎ The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness. “Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” Hunt said.‎ Social media invites what Hunt calls “downward social comparison.” “When you’re online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you’re left out,” Hunt said. And that’s just generally discouraging. “Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.” And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added. ‎ ‎“People are on their devices, and that’s not going to change,” she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way. ‎ ‎28. The results of the study showed using less social media would result in .‎ A. people’s fear of missing out B. obvious relief in loneliness ‎ C. higher levels of depression D. lower levels of happiness ‎29. In Hunt’s opinion, which activity benefits more to mental health?‎ A. Hiking out with friends. B. Making comparison with others. ‎ C. Playing computer games in spare time. D. Logging onto social media and having fun.‎ ‎30. Which can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Study on Social Media. B. How to Improve Mental Health.‎ C. People Addicted to Social Media. D. Social Media Influences Mental Health. ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ Have you ever had the following experience?

I returned the pen to my teacher, and 53 remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the 54 Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most 55 in my mind.‎ At twelve I killed a sparrow with a gun. Excited with my 56, I screamed to Steve to take a look.

But our funds were limited, and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.   One agent recommended a house in particular. Although her description sounded wonderful, the price was beyond our range, so we declined. But she kept urging us to have a look at least. We finally did and it was love at first sight. It was Our Home, small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake. Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners, a nice elderly couple, we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home. As perfect as it was, the price remained too high for us. But every day, we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.‎ Days later, we made an offer—far below the asking price. Surprisingly, they didn’t laugh at us. They renewed their offer instead. It was also much more than we could afford, but far less than the original asking price.‎ The next day,we got a disppointing message that another buyer had offered a much highter price. Even so, we decided to talk with the owners directly. We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars less than the other buyer’s bid. We knew it, but we had to try. Nobody knew if we could get it.‎ Paragraph 1‎ We went to the owner’s home after we made our final offer.‎ Paragraph 2‎ The owner looked at us and said, “I want to sell my house to you!” ‎ 注意:‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;‎ ‎2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;‎ ‎4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 第一部分：听力 ‎ ‎1-5 CBAAB　 6-10 ACACC 11-15 ABBCA 16-20 CBBAC 第二部分 阅读理解 ‎21-23 BDC 24-27 ACDA 28-30 BAD 31-35 CDFBE 第三部分 英语知识运用 完形填空：‎ ‎41-45 ADBCB 46-50 CDAAB 51-55 DDCBA 56-60 CACDB 语法填空：‎ ‎61. have changed 62. which 63. another 64.was purified 65.

It has made people's daily life more and more convenient. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes.‎ By mobile payment, we can pay easily wherever we go. We can buy breakfast on the street and pay by scanning with our smart phones. In the subway station, we can scan with our smart phones to purchase our tickets. This is a glimpse of most Chinese people's life—allowing us to bid farewell to the wallets and bankcards.‎ Mobile payment has greatly changed people's lives in China. It seems that China is really leading in some ways and it is also sweeping other nations.‎ Looking forward to hearing from you.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 第二节 Paragraph 1‎ We went to the owners’ home after we made our final offer. The other buyer came to visit the owners. He said the price he offered was much higher than ours.He begged the owners to sell it to him, and then the owner asked the buyer, “why do you want this house?” the buyer said ,” because it is near the city, I want to buy it for investment. I can rent it to earn money…” the owner thought for a while and then looked at him and said, “I’m sorry, sir, I can’t sell my house to you, because I am looking for someone who truly loves my house, not just for money.”‎ Paragraph 2‎ The owner looked at us and said, “I want to sell my house to you!” then he explained: He’d seen us sitting by the lake all those times; he knew how much we loved the place and that we’d appreciate the years of work they had put into their home; he realized he would take a loss by selling it to us, but it was worthwhile; we were the people they wanted to live there. He ‎ told us to consider the difference in the price “an early wedding present.” That’s how we found our home and how I learned that when people are kind they are not strangers, only friends we haven’t yet met.‎
