Where can you find this passage?‎ A. fashion magazine B. grocery leaflet C. online shopping mall D. outdoor advertisement B For some years，my mother worked for a charity as President and Secretary. Selling raffle tickets(兑奖券) was her main means of bringing in the charity’s muchneeded funds. We girls would accompany her，selling tickets with great success. My father made and donated beautiful wooden toys，jewelry boxes and other lovely items as prizes.‎ Now my sister was always coming up with “good ideas”，most of which didn’t work out to plan. But that didn’t deter her. She had many just waiting to be tested. When she was eight and I was just five，we had a wonderful idea for a business adventure. We decided we would sell raffle tickets for charity，and that charity was us!‎ So one afternoon，we told our mother we were going to play in the park with our cousins as we did most days after school. But instead，we walked around the streets armed with a raffle book，a pen and a large cloth bag to carry the money.‎ We’d accompanied our mother many times when she sold tickets，so people were familiar with us when we ‎ appeared at their doors. Despite the blank looks they received when asking about the prizes on offer，they were very generous. Although there were no actual prizes，our mother’s previous track record enabled us to sell nearly the whole book of raffle tickets.‎ Like a little pair of lottery(彩票) winners，we walked home and proudly showed off our takings. But our enjoyment of this sudden wealth was shortlived，and our plans for spending it quickly failed. Our angry mother took us back to every ticket buyer，making us apologize and give the money back. Thankfully，our sweet neighbors didn’t make a big deal of our “clever” misbehavior and thus my mother’s fundraising career could continue safely. We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day. Also I remember my sister’s entrepreneurial(企业家的) spirit dried up a bit after that.‎ ‎24. What did the author’s father do?‎ A．He got prizes ready. B．He sold handmade items.‎ C．He was in charge of a charity. D．He helped design raffle tickets.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Embarrass. B．Shock. C．Discourage. D．Mislead.‎ ‎26. What can be learned about the author and her sister while selling raffle tickets?‎ A．They ran into their mother.‎ B．They met some generous strangers.‎ C．They got lost while walking around the streets.‎ D．They took advantage of people’s trust in their mother.‎ ‎27．What lesson did the author and her sister learn?‎ A．Honesty is the best policy. B．What’s done can’t be undone.‎ C．Misfortune never comes alone. D．Good advice is beyond all price.‎ C Barcelona‎’s famous Segrada Familia is finally set to get a building license to work on the still uncompleted church.‎ This UNESCO World Heritage basilica(长方形基督教堂)，which is Barcelona’s most visited tourist attraction，began building in 1882 based on a design by architect Francisco Lozano. However，when he stepped down，architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883.The building won’t be finished until 2026—one hundred years after the architect was killed by a streetcar in the city. His body was buried in a room under the floor of the Sagrada Familia.‎ To get its paperwork rubber stamped，the church authorities have agreed to finally pay the government a 36 million fee for a building permit. Gaudi was told to get the paperwork processed，but the architect failed to do so—proceeding with construction. The money from the church’s permit will be used to upgrade transport links and beautify the area. ‎ Gaudi played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Familia until his death in 1926.He would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind. However, interpretation of the designs by present day architects is particularly challenging because of the nature of the existing designs.‎ Gaudi and his works have become symbols of Barcelona，the capital city of Catalonia，northeast Spain. The unfinished building is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is perhaps the most unique and mysterious building in the style ever constructed. The popularity of the site with tourists has helped fund the push to complete the church and pay for the paperwork.‎ ‎28．What do we know about the Segrada Familia?‎ A．It has been completely constructed. B．It was first designed by Antoni Gaudi.‎ C．It will get a building permit in 2026. D．It began to be built 138 years ago.‎ ‎29．What can we infer about Antoni Gaudi?‎ A．He wished to be buried in the church. B．He is remembered as a great architect.‎ C．He didn’t know a permit was necessary. D．He is to blame for the unfinished church.‎ ‎30．What makes the Segrada Familia so popular?‎ A．Its unusual design style. B．Its two famous architects.‎ C．Its special building materials. D．Its illegal construction paperwork.‎ ‎31．The church managed to pay for the license _________.‎ A．in the support of the government B．by reducing construction costs C．with the aid of tourist income D．through donations from architects D ‎ Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influence on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.‎ ‎ One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images. Instead, they learn both explicit (明确的) and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.‎ ‎ Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. Tv doesn’t take place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.‎ ‎ Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lower IQ scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.‎ ‎ For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.‎ ‎32.By watching TV, children learn _________.‎ A. images through words B. more than explicit meanings C. more about images than words D. little about people’s psychology ‎ ‎33. An educational problem is best watched by a child _______‎ A. on his own B. with other kids C. with his parents D. with his teachers ‎34.Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?‎ A. Radio-listening B. Television-watching C. Parents’ reading list D. Parents’ educational background ‎35.What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To advise on the educational use of TV B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children C. To explain traditional views on TV influences ‎ D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ It affects one in six people in England each week. That’s the rate of people who report experiencing a common mental health problem，such as depression. Whether temporarily down or depressed，many rely on antidepressants(抗抑郁药) to lift their mood. But they have a cost—one exuser said that they felt they were in a “chemical fog” and were desperate to stop. 36._____ what alternatives are there when you’re feeling truly blue?‎ ‎37.______Sarah，who had been taking antidepressants since the age of 17，is now off all medication and swimming—something that may be an effective treatment for depression. Apart from the exercise and companionship of swimmers，the cold water puts the body under stress. With repeated immersions(沉浸)，the body better adapts not just to this physical stress，but mental stress，including the psychological problems of life that lead to low spirits.‎ Susan Calman relies on kindness to brighten her mood. The 43yearold comedian and author encourages others to use kindness to improve the lives of those around them. “It can be as simple as holding open a door for someone，or giving someone praise，or buying someone a packet of crisps while they’re feeling down，” she says. 38._________. ‎ ‎ 39.________Woebot is a chat robot designed to support people dealing with problems by teaching coping strategies.
