Did you wake up with a sore neck or a headache? Do you feel like you need a nap even though you have slept for eight hours? Just like you. I would wake up in the morning with all of those problems and I couldn’t figure out why. Like many people who have trouble getting a good night’s sleep, my lack of sleep was affecting the quality of my life. I wanted to do something about my sleep problems, but nothing that I tried worked.‎ The pillow was the problem I bought every pillow on the market that promised to give me a better night’s sleep. None of them worked. Finally, I decided to invent one myself. I asked everyone I knew what qualities they would like to see in their “perfect pillow” and got many responses: “I’d like a pillow that never goes flat,” “I’d like my pillow to stay cool” and “I’d like a pillow that adjusts to me regardless of my sleep position.” I spent the next two years of my life inventing MyPillow.‎ MyPillow to the rescue Flash forward ten years and MyPillow, Mike Lindell’s revolutionary pillow design, has helped five million people improve the quality of their sleep.

C ‎【36题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章内容，特别是MyPillow to the rescue部分中的“Flash forward ten years and MyPillow, Mike Lindell’s revolutionary pillow design, has helped five million people improve the quality of their sleep. .”及“Buy now at mypillow.com or call 800-299-4018”可知，迈克·林德尔革命性的枕头设计MyPillow已经帮助500万人提高了他们的睡眠质量，登录mypillow.com或致电800-299-4018进行购买，由此可知，本文主要介绍的是一种能够帮助人们提高睡眠质量的枕头——MyPillow，目的自然是鼓励人们购买这种枕头，故B项正确。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据The pillow was the problem部分中的“I spent the next two years of my life inventing MyPillow.”可知，我花了两年时间来发明MyPillow，再根据MyPillow to the rescue部分中的“MyPillow, Mike Lindell’s revolutionary pillow design”可知，MyPillow这种革命性的枕头是迈克·林德尔设计的，由此可知前两段是迈克·林德尔写的，故D项正确。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据How well did you sleep last night?部分中的“Like many people who have ‎ trouble getting a good night’s sleep, my lack of sleep was affecting the quality of my life. I wanted to do something about my sleep problems, but nothing that I tried worked.”可知，像许多难以睡好觉的人一样，我睡眠不足影响了我的生活质量，我想做点什么来解决我的睡眠问题，但我尝试过的一切都没有奏效（他睡不好觉）；再根据The pillow was the problem部分中的“I bought every pillow on the market that promised to give me a better night’s sleep. None of them worked.”可知，我在市场上买了每一个保证能让我睡个好觉的枕头。它们都没起作用（那些承诺能改善睡眠的枕头对他都不管用），经历以上两件事情后，迈克·林德尔决定发明MyPillow，故C项正确。‎ B F.Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24,1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St.Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton. University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.‎ His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary:“My own happiness in the past often got such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”‎ This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was the novel The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.‎ However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reord his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first break down and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The love of the last Tycoon in 1940.

In a little over a week, it made 2.8 billion yuan in the domestic market alone. The film’s popularity and success has come as a surprise to many reviewers especially since there hasn’t been that much success for Chinese-produced science fiction in the past. Many agree that this film will change the embarrassing situation and bring in a new age for Chinese science fiction.‎ As a genre (类型), Chinese science fiction has lagged behind general fiction in both the film and publishing industries. Even Liu Cixin’s (the author who wrote the short story on which The Wandering Earth is based) The Three Body Problem — which is currently quite popular — didn’t have many readers until it was translated into English and won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) in 2015. Personally, I haven’t read much of any genre written in Chinese, but I do notice that there aren’t many separate sections of the bookstore dedicated to science fiction. I cannot speak for everyone, but some people seem to have misunderstandings regarding the genre.‎ My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed that science fiction and fantasy were “unrealistic nonsense” and would “rot ‎ my brain.” Actually, great science fiction writers do their research. More often than not, one can learn a great deal about science and its possible development from reading science fiction. Sure, some of the concepts may be confusing or technical in nature, but that is also part of the appeal. Things like the internet, electric cars and tablet computers were first theorized (建立理论) in science fiction before they were invented. The author simply uses a combination of science and their imagination to create worlds different from the Earth of today, from which we can get bits and pieces that can be turned into a reality.‎ The world is changing. There may very well be a time when Earth is no longer able to sustain the entire population. We could be living on Mars or in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be forced to move Earth to a new solar system just like The Wandering Earth. Each of these scenarios (设想) has appeared in science fiction multiple times. If we are to be prepared for what is to come, we can look into modern science fiction for a window into the future.‎ ‎43. According to the article, which of the following statements about The Wandering Earth is NOT true?‎ A. Critics did not expect too much of the film before its release.‎ B. It is the first time that Chinese science fiction has achieved success in the film industry.‎ C. The film was adapted from a short story in Liu Cixin’s The Three Body Problem.‎ D. In the future we might be faced with similar crises to the one described in the movie.‎ ‎44. We can learn from the article that the author ______.‎ A. was not allowed to read science fiction by his parents B. has never read Chinese science fiction C. has little interest in science fiction D. has not been prepared for the future development of science and technology ‎45. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about ______.‎ A. people’s misunderstandings about science fiction B. real technologies inspired by science fiction C the practical significance of science fiction D. imaginary worlds created by science fiction writers ‎【答案】43. C 44. A 45. C ‎【43题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Even Liu Cixin’s (the author who wrote the short story on which The Wandering Earth is based) The Three Body Problem — which is currently quite popular — didn’t have many readers until it was translated into English and won the Hugo Award in 2015.”可知，科幻小说《流浪的地球》和《三体》都是刘慈欣写的，并不是说《流浪的地球》这部电影改编自刘慈欣的短篇小说《三体》，故C项正确。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed that science fiction and fantasy were “unrealistic nonsense” and would “rot my brain.””可知，我的父母是那种试图引导我走向非小说和古典文学的人，他们认为科幻小说和幻想是不切实际的胡言乱语，会腐蚀我的大脑，由此可知，作者的父母不允许他读科幻小说，故A项正确。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，特别是“Actually, great science fiction writers do their research. More often than not, one can learn a great deal about science and its possible development from reading science fiction.”可知，事实上，伟大的科幻作家都在做研究，通常人们可以在阅读科幻小说中学到很多关于科学及其可能发展的知识，也就是说科幻小说对人们的现实生活是有影响的，由此可知，本段主要介绍的是科幻小说的现实意义，故C项正确。‎ D Nowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones. Some misguided souls believe they have a moral duty to help you be a better person telling you what a failure you really are.‎ If you’re the one placing criticism upon others, please stop. Make a conscious decision, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions. If I’m painting a living room and making a mess in doing so, I’d have any husband say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than have him point out what a careless painter I am.‎ If you’re on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you’re doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. It diffuses a ‎ potentially explosive situation. It’s important to keep calm and listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Could I have done better, and been more thoughtful? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? Is there any truth in what the other person says? If so, how can I improve?‎ In any event, one should remember the saying, “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning(指责) and you will not be condemned.” One can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact his or her relationship with the other party. Let it go and that will be “OK”.‎ ‎46. According to the author, today’s people_____.‎ A. ignore the mistakes of others B. focus on how to handle mistakes C. like to point out the mistakes of others D. have a moral duty to point out others’ faults ‎47. In Paragraph 2, the author uses the example to show_____.‎ A. praise is more important than criticism B. it’s hard to avoid making mistakes C. we ought to accept others’ criticism D. pointing out a fault needs a skill ‎48. What is the proper response to criticism in the author’s opinion?‎ A. Paying no attention to it B. Learning something from it.‎ C. Making excuses for your mistakes.‎ D. Defending and attacking sometimes.‎ ‎49. Which of the following best explains “diffuses” underlined in Paragraph 3?‎ A. spreads B. improves C. reduces D. conveys ‎50. Which would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. Is criticism really necessary?‎ B What can you learn from criticism?‎ C. What’s the best way to voice criticism?‎ D. How to criticize and reply to criticism?‎ ‎【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. D ‎【46题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Nowadays, we live in a strict and judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults of others and yet seem to ignore their own ones.”可知，如今，我们生活在一个严格的和审判的世界，人们很快指出别人的错误，但似乎忽视自己的，由此可知，现在的人们喜欢指出别人的错误，故C项正确。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Make a conscious decision, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions.”可知，做一个有意识的决定，而不是关注一个人的表现或态度的消极方面，你可以提供有用的建议，这说明指出别人的错误是需要技巧的，紧接着的举例就是为了证明这一点，故D项正确。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“There is much that one can learn from a negative review.”可知，从负面评论中可以学到很多东西，由此可知，作者认为对批评的正确反应是从错误中学习，故B项正确。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“When someone comments negatively on a task you’re doing, the natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive.”可知，当有人对你正在做的任务发表负面评论时，自然的反应就是防守和反击，然而，这种做法很少有效，因为它使双方都处于守势，并且使潜在的爆炸性情况进一步变大，由此可知画线词词义为“扩大”，故A项正确。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中的“Make a conscious decision, rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, and you can offer helpful suggestions.”（批评别人时，做一个有意识的决定，而不是关注一个人的表现或态度的消极方面，你可以提供有用的建议）、倒数第二段中的“If you’re on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution.”（如果你被批评，回答“好”是一个完美的解决方案）及最后一段内容可知，本文主要告诉我们如何正确批评别人以及如何回应别人的批评，故D项正确。‎ 第二节（共5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。‎ In today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim(令人沮丧的) days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. ___51___‎ Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel.

But more sophisticated tastes have introduced whole foods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food 'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.‎ Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精细）, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. ___53___.

Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews（炖菜）and potato dishes.‎ ‎___54___A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads.

Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood.‎ C. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.‎ D. Now things are very different.‎ E. Food produce is fresher.‎ F. One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast.‎ G.
