B When you’re out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves，do you know that you are also creating a work of art？Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself？Probably not.Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ，but you probably don’t think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist. But the chief executive of London’s Saatchi Gallery，Nigel Hurst，thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with self­portraits by the great masters.In support of the idea，the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self­expression. It features well­known self­portraits from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh(1853—1890) and Rembrandt(1606—1669)．It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era”. These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron，according to the BBC. The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show. Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious.He isn’t claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self­image painted by Van Gogh.But he does make a serious point.Once upon a time，it was only artists who could make images of themselves.They were the only ones，as Hurst told The Guardian，who “had the skills，materials and tools to create self­portraits.” Today ， however ， we “all have that ability through our smartphones.” The popularity of the selfie rocketed after smartphones started to become widely used.In 2013，Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year.As Pamela Rutledge，a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology，told Vogue magazine：“the cult(热潮) of the selfie celebrates regular people”． 24．Nigel Hurst’s attitude to the smartphone selfie is . A．casual B．mixed C．negative D．favorable 25．What does the underlined word “features” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Shows. B．Informs. C．Sells. D．Misses. 26．Who shares opinions with Nigel Hurst? A．Kim Kardashian. B．Pamela Rutledge. C．David Cameron. D．Barack Obama. 27．Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．Selfies as Self­portraits B．Age of Smartphones C．Selfies of Celebrities D．Age of Selfie Artists C People typically wash their hands several times a day in the United States，but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs ， a new study says.The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country. Amanda R．Carrico，a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment in Tennessee，told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are in their best interest，but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.” Carrico said，“It’s certainly true that heat kills bacteria，but if you were going to use hot water to kill them it would have to be away too hot for you to tolerate.” Carrico said that after a review of the scientific literature，her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40°F(4.4°C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water，if hands were scrubbed， rinsed(冲洗) and dried properly. Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary，as well as wasteful，Carrico said， particularly when it comes to the environment.According to her research，people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands.Using that number ， Carrico’s team calculated a significant impact on the planet. “Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear unimportant，when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each year，this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO 2 equivalent emissions annually，” she said. The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies.They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature， which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones. 28．What’s the meaning of what Carrico told National Geographic in the second paragraph? A．Generally，people’s hand washing behaviors and perceptions are not correct. B．It’s important for people to wash their hands to keep healthy. C．People are more concerned about their health and begin to wash their hands. D．People like washing their hands very much. 29．The figures in the sixth paragraph are used to show that . A．using hot water to wash hands is a waste of energy B．air pollution has become more and more serious C．using hot water to wash hands has a bad influence on our planet D．people should pay more attention to the environment around us 30．This passage is organized in the pattern of . A．cause and effect B．fact and opinion C．definition and classification D．time and events 31．What can we learn from the passage? A．It’s necessary and useful for people to wash their hands frequently every day. B．Hot water can’t kill germs. C．Using cold water to wash hands is necessary and much healthier. D．We can wash our hands with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature. D A food additive (添加剂) is any substance that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat. The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”. Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products. Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers. Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects (副作用) from the long-term use of presently approved (批准) food additives are very small. 32.From the passage we can learn that . A. all foods have chemical substances B. it is right to refuse chemicals in food C. food additives are harmful to our health D. natural foods are much safer than man-made ones 33.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. To ensure food safety, the FDA will stop food additives. B. Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways. C. Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value. D. Foods free of additives can keep a much longer shelf life. 34.We can infer from the regulation to the food additives by the FDA that . A. new additives will be approved more easily than before B. food with common-used additives will be taken off the market C. food producers won’t be allowed to use new food additives D. food additives will be used in a safer and more scientific way 35.According to the writer, the food additive is . A. acceptable B. worrying C. poisonous D. avoidable 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。 Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. 36 . If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. 37 The only thing you have to do is follow his advice. 38 An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. 39 In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. 40 . He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. “But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.” A. All these will cost a lot of money. B. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. C. He was more worried about his illness. D. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. E. Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. F. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. G. He looked cheerful and happy. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45） 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四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空 白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Madison Williams was studying in her bedroom in Dublin，Ohio，in August 2016 when the door burst open.It was her mother，Leigh Williams，with a(an) 41 story：“A little boy fell into a septic tank(化粪池)，and no one can 42 him.” Then she made this 43 of her 13­year­old daughter：Can you help?
