Eighteen months ago, when my cell phone rang, you were walking into Whole Foods prepared to do your grocery shopping, just as I had been only minutes before you. But I had already abandoned my cart full of groceries in the entryway. My brother was on the other end of the line telling me my father had taken his own life early that morning. I started to cry and scream as my whole body trembled. I fell to the floor, my knees bending under the weight of what I had just learned. You could have simply stopped and had a brief look, but you didn’t. Instead, you surrounded me as I yelled through my sobs, “My father killed himself. He’s dead.” I remember one of you asked for my phone and whom you should call. What was my password? You needed my husband’s name as you searched through my contacts. I remember that I could hear your words as you tried to reach my husband for me, leaving an urgent message or him to call me. I recall hearing you discuss among yourselves who would drive me home in my car and who would follow that person back to the store. You didn’t even know one another, but it didn’t matter. You met me, a stranger, in the worst moment of my life, and you were around me with common purpose—to help. In my fog, I told you that I had a friend who worked at Whole Foods, and one of you brought her to me. And I even recall as I sat with her, one of you sent over a gift card to Whole Foods; though you didn’t know me, you wanted to let me know that you would be thinking of me. That gift card helped to feed my family when the idea of cooking was so far beyond my emotional reach. I never saw you after that. But I know this to be true: Because you reached out to help, you offered a ray of light in the darkest moment I’ve ever experienced. You may not remember me. But I will never, ever forget you. 21. How did the author react to the news? A. She broke down. B. She lost her memory. C. She argued with her brother. D. She dropped her phone. 22. What did one of the strangers do for the author? A. He helped get her friend. B. He lent her a gift card. C. He brought her husband to her. D. He called her brother. 23. What can we learn from the underlined part in Paragraph 4? A. I had no idea how to cook. B. I was not in the mood of cooking. C. I couldn’t reach for any groceries. D. I had no way to support the family. 24. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? To express thanks. B. To call for help. C. To tell a true story. D. To show her sorrow. B For centuries China has been associated with rich culture and there’s no shortage of books. But that raises a problem: How do you find the book you want? In ancient time the books were made of bamboo and wooden chips. After somebody finished reading a book, they would roll the book from the tail end and the top end would be left outside. Usually, two empty chips would be put in the top end and the chapter name written on the back of the empty chips. So when somebody took the book, they would know the content without opening it. This became the embryonic form (雏形) of the earliest bookmark. During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), silk books gradually replaced bamboo chips. To make it easier for readers to find the book, people would tie a small plate at one end of the roller marked with the book name or other information. The bookmark during that time was always made with bamboo, with flower patterns on the bamboo as decoration. Wealthy families used ivory as bookmark or hung the ivory bookmarks on the bookshelves. In Tang Dynasty, printing made paper books become popular. The silk strip with book name was used as bookmark and stuck on the book cover. To distinguish (区分) with the bookmark of scroll (卷轴), the bookmark was called “floating mark” During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), hardcover and paperback books became thicker and the name began to be printed on the cover. So people began to place the bookmark inside the book to mark the reading process. The bookmark we currently use come in various shapes and materials and are creatively designed. 25. What was a bookmark originally designed for? A. To decorate a book. B. To distinguish social class. C. To show the content of a book. D. To mark the reading process. 26. What appeared in the Warring States Period? A. Floating mark. B. The bookmark of scroll. C. Bookmarks with flower patterns. D. Empty chips with chapter names. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. The function of the bookmark in China. B. Creatively-designed bookmark in China. C. Typical Chinese culture—floating mark D. The evolution of bookmark in ancient China C Is virtual reality sexist? Women experience more motion sickness than men while using VR, and researchers have suggested a novel theory, which is contrary to the commonly held view that motion sickness is caused when your senses provide conflicting information. “Women are more likely to be influenced than men by motion sickness in general,” says Thomas Stoffregen at the University of Minnesota. “We wanted to know whether that was also the case with VR headsets.” Stoffregen and his team ran experiments in which 36 people-half of them men, half of them women-played two VR games using the Facebook-owned Oculus Rift headset. The first game in which players had to push a small glass ball around a maze (迷宫) only made a few people feel sick. But the second game that involved taking a virtual walk around a ghost house set off feelings of sickness in 14 out of 18 women and only six out of 18 men. Why were women more likely to be affected? Stoffregen’s answer is grounded in his broader ideas on motion sickness. He thinks that it is linked to “postural sway”-the slight movements our bodies make when we stand or sit still. People who sway more, he says, will be more likely to feel sick. “Women tend to be smaller than men, they have a different body shape, and they have smaller feet than men of comparable height,” he says. “In a purely physical sense, there’s reduced stability (稳定) in the female body, so there’s an increased likelihood that any sort of disturbing motion stimulus will contribute to instability.” But not everyone agrees. 28. What can we learn from Stoffregen’s experiments? A. Women are more afraid of ghosts. B. VR headsets amaze all the people. C. The virtual walk makes more women feel sick. D. Oculus Rift is specially designed for the experiment. 29. What is Stoffregen’s theory? A. Women tend to be smaller than men. B. Reduced stability leads to motion sickness. C. Women sway less when standing or sitting still. D. Motion sickness occurs when one’s senses conflict. 30. What would probably be discussed in the following paragraph? A. Ways to measure postural sway. B. Different opinions on the new theory. C. The influence of motion sickness. D. More examples to support Stoffregen’s theory. D A multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative pursuits (追求). It is easy to see your multipotentiality as a shortcoming that you need to overcome. And you might feel like something is wrong with you. But in fact there are some great strengths to being this way. Here are two super powers. One: rapid learning. When multipotentialites become interested in something, we go hard. We observe everything we can get our hands on. We are also used to being beginners, because we’ve been beginners so many times in the past, and this means that we’re less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of our comfort zones. What’s more, we bring everything we’ve learned to every new area, so we’re hardly starting from scratch. Second: adaptability. It is the ability to change into whatever you need to be in a given situation. Abe Cajudo is sometimes a video director, sometimes a web designer, and sometimes James Bond. He’s valuable because he can take on various roles. Fast Company magazine identified adaptability as the single most important skill to develop in the 21st century. The economic world is changing so quickly and unpredictably that only multipotentialites are really able to meet the needs of the market. We have a lot of complex problems in the world right now, and we need creative, out-of-the box thinkers to solve them. In fact, some of the best teams are made up of a specialist and multipotentialite together. The specialist can dive in deep ideas, while the multipotentialite brings much knowledge of the project. It’s a beautiful partnership. So to the multipotentialites, I say: Follow your curiosity down those rabbit holes. Embracing your many passions leads to a happier life. And perhaps more importantly-multipotentialites, the world needs you. 31. What may be the best title for the text? A. Think out of the box B. Take advantage of your strength C. What you are is a multipotentialite D. Be proud of being a multipotentialite 32. Why are multipotentialites needed now? A. To satisfy people’s curiosity. B. To strengthen social support. C. To make up a great partnership. D. To deal with the changing world. 33. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Full of confidence. B. Out of curiosity. C. Without previous knowledge. D. With much experience. 34. Why is Abe Cajudo mentioned in the passage? A. To prove his popularity. B. To share his personal affairs. C. To display his various talents. D. To show his great adaptability. Which of the following can best describe multipotentialites? A. Adventurous and flexible. B. Creative and considerate. C. Talented and stubborn. D. Enthusiastic and smart. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 l0 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。 Over-thinking an issue, event, or even conversation is a common method of dealing with stress. But studies show that over-thinking something stressful has strong ties with depression and anxiety. For many people, over-thinking things is just an automatic way of seeing the world, but that mindset can lead to long periods of depression. 36 Learning how to deal with it can help you let go of painful memories and break out of damaging thought patterns. Change your view of failure. You5re afraid of trying something because your over-thinking has led you to believe you’d fail, or you can5t stop replaying the memory of a time you failed at something, you need to recognize that sometimes things just don’t work out the way we’d like them to 37 A 1ot of what we regard as failure is not an ending, but a beginning: to new opportunities and new of living. Try not to think much about the past. While learning from the past is an important part of growing, thinking about it over and over will not help change anything. 38 So focus on the present moment which you do have the power to change. Realize you can’t predict the future. Many people with over-thinking minds tend to believe that they know what will happen in advance: that trying out for the basketball team will only result in failure. 39 What are you basing your predictions on? Normally, those predictions are setting you up to fail by thinking from the start that you will. Additionally, if you find yourself overanalyzing situations, you may need to find a more active way to break out of that thought pattern. 40 And use that activity as often as you need to. A. Figure out how you over think. B. And that’s not always a bad thing. C. Thoughts do not always reflect reality. D. Yet without trying, how do you know? E. Find what comforts you in the present moment. F. It may even cause some people to delay seeking treatment. G. Over-thinking on missed opportunities is harmful and unproductive. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 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。 The train ran through the suburbs of Tokyo, suddenly a big, 41 man broke the quiet.
