I had fallen behind in most of my household chores. ‎ After breakfast, I sat down at the computer to write an article. My youngest daughter, Julia, walked toward me. "But, Mommy, I thought we were going to do something fun today," she said. "Since it's our day off from school." "I know it's your day off, but it's not Mommy's day off," I explained. ‎ ‎"Can you play a game with me?" she begged. "Like Candy Land? Or beauty shop?"‎ ‎ I sighed. I really didn't have time to play. I desperately needed to get some work done. But then I had an idea. "Can we play beauty shop while I work?" So I got my article done, and my toenails(脚趾甲) painted at the same time. My oldest, Austin, volunteered to fix lunch so I could keep working. Shortly after lunch, we went to the grocery store and I got what I needed. Back at home, the kids decided to play "grocery store". For the remainder of the afternoon, I cleaned house, folded laundry, and started dinner. The kids continued with their game until my husband, Eric, walked through the door.‎ He saw me and smiled. "So how was the kids' big day off today?" I began to explain that we hadn't done anything special. But my two middle kids, Jordan and Lea interrupted me. They told their dad, "We had such a special day today, Dad! It was a blast!" I looked at my children's faces. They were lit up with excitement. ‎ I nodded, realizing how right he was. Happiness is far more about our attitude than our circumstances. I hugged my kids and thanked them for reminding me to look for happiness in the little things.

It was amazing.‎ ‎27.What message does the author intend to convey in this text?‎ A. Family life brings us greatest joy.‎ B. Life is made up of small pleasures.‎ C. Happiness can be gained in little things.‎ D. Little things can make a great difference.‎ C ‎ Starbucks will stop using plastic straws from its stores globally by 2020, in a nod to the growing push for businesses to be more environmentally friendly. The Seattle-based company said on Monday it will instead use straws made from other materials, and lids designed not to need straws. McDonald's also recently said it would switch to paper straws in the UK and Ireland by next year, and test alternatives to plastic straws in some US locations. In February, Dunkin' Donuts said that it would refuse polystyrene foam (塑料泡沫) cups from its stores by 2020.‎ ‎ Environmental activists have been pressuring businesses to ditch plastic straws because they can end up in the ocean and hurt marine life. The push gained great support after a video in 2015 showed rescuers removing a straw from a sea turtle's nose in great detail. Local governments have also been looking at the issue. Last week, Seattle’s ban on single-use plastic straws and utensils in food service outlets took effect, and Starbucks says it already offers alternative straws there. Similar proposals are being considered elsewhere, including New York and San Francisco.‎ ‎ While straws have become a highly-concerned issue, they make up only about 4% of the plastic trash by number of pieces, and far less by weight. Straws add up to only about 2,000 tons of the nearly 9m tons of plastic waste that hits waters each year.‎ ‎28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?‎ A. Some businesses are shouldering their social responsibility.‎ B. Paper straws will be popular in the UK and Ireland.‎ C. The use of plastic straws has been stopped.‎ D. There will be alternatives to plastic straws.‎ ‎29. Why is the video in 2015 mentioned in the text?‎ A. To show how to rescue sea turtles. ‎ B. To explain how to remove plastic straws.‎ C. To emphasize the necessity of stopping plastic straws. ‎ D. To get the readers’ support.‎ ‎30. The numbers in the last paragraph suggest that_________.‎ A. plastic straws do little harm ‎ B. plastic waste should be highly focused on C. plastic waste gets to waters more easily D. plastic straws are a highly-concerned issue ‎31. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Refuse plastic straws in companies.‎ B. Replace plastic straws with alternatives.‎ C. Stop using plastic products in catering business.‎ D. Reduce plastic waste by combined efforts.‎ D Why do people lie? Many psychologists agree that it can start from childhood? There are various reasons why children make false statements. They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years.‎ Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become presentable and acceptable to other people. In some instances, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.‎ ‎ As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of your habits. Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to accomplish and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it, becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological（病态的） lying.‎ ‎ Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is associated with individuals who have the urge to tell untruthful statements. Patients suffering from ‎ it make up stories about everything and anything. These individuals lie to meet the standards of other people who they want to please. These patients deceive other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liar is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are accustomed to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up for stories ‎32. What does the underlined word “reprimand” mean? ‎ A. praise B. fine C. scold D. disappoint ‎33. What is the main reason for teenagers’ lying behavior?‎ A. Protecting themselves. B. Pleasing themselves. ‎ C. Avoiding embarrassment. D. Becoming popular.‎ ‎34. Pathological lying is a disease because the patients________.‎ A. lose interest in everything B. can’t help lying all the time ‎ C. are critical about themselves D. have the urge to please others ‎35. The writer addresses pathological lying by analyzing_______.‎ ‎ A. some typical cases B. its unexplained pleasure ‎ C. its causes and development D. the difficulty of its treatment 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。‎ Many of us deal with mental health challenges on a daily basis. Being fed a steady diet of destructive world events only serves to make that harder, So I've decided to share a few strategies to avoid being completely broken down by the newsfeed right now.‎ ‎ 36 ‎ You’ll find it easier to make this mental mindshift if you make a conscious effort to boost your level of positive emotion by doing things you enjoy and spending time with people you love. Positive emotions leave the door open to possibility while negative emotions keep the door shut.‎ Recognize that there’s a difference between being absorbed and being informed Sure, you want to be aware of what's happening in the world, but that doesn’t mean that you have to be absorbed into your Twitter or Facebook and aim for a balanced media diet. 37 . Move toward the good, too. ‎ Look for opportunities to take action ‎ 38 . But by carrying through on sort of positive action, however small (writing a letter, making a donation, attending a face-to-face get-together in your town), you’ll feel good. And that will help to stop what can otherwise quickly change into negative feelings of anxiety and sadness. 39 . ‎ Reach out-don't break down Inward Connect with other caring citizens who share your concern about what's happening in our country and our world. Talk to other people you know who may be going through an especially difficult time right now. 40 Finally, reach out for other types of support if you feel like you’re really struggling. ‎ A. It doesn’t have to be something huge ‎ B. Say no sometimes C. Hold your sense of optimism ‎ D. Let them know that you will be there to support them and that you care ‎ E. Feeling powerless fuels anxiety, taking action brings it down ‎ F. Don't just focus on the really bad news G. Doing good deeds can also relax social anxiety 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A teacher affects eternity(永久)：no one can tell where his influence stops．——Henry Adams Mrs. Barrow，room 501，room 501，I repeated to myself as I scanned the hallways looking for the room number．It was my first day fifth grade and I was really 41 ．‎ I came to the end of the hall and found an open door．Stepping into the ‎ room，I suddenly felt out of 42 .

Undeniably, WeChat makes communication convenient and leisure time colorful. However, there exist some potential risks if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy, which may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortable, for they think you are showing off.‎ Thus, never should we post our personal information, nor should we rashly add strangers to the list of friends. It’s wiser to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful.‎ Best wishes!‎ Tape scripts for Listening Test Text 1‎ M: Did you hear about the fire at the Department Store?‎ W: Yes.

Undeniably, WeChat makes communication convenient and leisure time colorful. However, there exist some potential risks if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy, which may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortable, for they think you are showing off.‎ Thus, never should we post our personal information, nor should we rashly add strangers to the list of friends. It’s wiser to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful.‎ Best wishes!‎ Tape scripts for Listening Test Text 1‎ M: Did you hear about the fire at the Department Store?‎ W: Yes. It’s reported that the building is in ruins.‎ M: That's right. It went up like a matchbox. There was nothing they could do to save it.‎ Text 2‎ M: They said that the eleven o’clock train was running late again as usual.‎ W: We arrived at the station at exactly 10: 00. However, we've already been waiting for thirty minutes. What time did they say it would arrive?‎ M: Well, we’ll probably have to wait another quarter of an hour.‎ Text 3‎ W: How long have you been in the army service?‎ M: Twenty-five years. I joined up right after college.‎ W: I have only been in the army for seven years.‎ M: Looks like you have a while to go until retirement.‎ Text 4‎ M: Look! It's broken. I told you it wasn’t working.‎ W: Of course it won’t work! See, the ink box indicator is flashing. You have to change it.‎ M: I'm sorry. I didn’t know what it meant.‎ Text 5‎ W: Do you like reading fashion magazines?‎ M: Not particularly. They are a little too boring for me. ‎ W: I'm not into fashion, either. I prefer outdoor magazines.‎ M: Not me. The magazines I read are all about politics.‎ Text 6‎ W: I feel terrible! I really need to relax. Do you know any good ways to fight stress?‎ M: Yes! In fact, I read in a health magazine that you can drink two cups of lemon tea every day. That will be helpful to deal with stress.‎ W: Lemon tea?‎ M: That’s right! Lemon tea makes you feel more relaxed. Besides, you should eat low stress foods like apples and grapes.‎ W: Sounds very strange! I guess hamburgers and French fries cause stress, right?‎ M: Yes! Hamburgers are stress food.‎ W: Well, I guess I need to change my diet.‎ Text 7‎ W: Tom, the cases are too heavy. I think we should take a taxi to the station.‎ M: Not at this hour.

The cases aren’t that heavy.‎ W: Don’t be silly! They are heavier than you thought, especially when you carry them for some time.‎ M: Hmm, perhaps it isn’t a bad idea.‎ W: What is not a bad idea? What do you mean?‎ M: Taxi! Taxi!‎ Text 8‎ M: I’ve read Mark Twain’s book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It’s quite interesting and adventurous. ‎ W: But this book I’m reading is kind of boring.

She was the girl who broke all the records last Olympics. Where is she now?

So I’d rather not swim at all.‎ M: But don’t you enjoy swimming?‎ W: I used to when I was still small. But if you enter for big competitions you have to work very hard.

And look at all these cups.‎ W: It’s true that I have some wonderful memories. I enjoyed visiting other countries, and the Olympics were very exciting. But I missed more important things.

"No one at my school likes me, mother. The teachers don’t, and the children don’t. Even the cleaners and the bus drivers hate me.”‎ ‎ “Well, Harry.” his mother answered, “Perhaps you aren’t very nice to them. If a few people don't like a person, he or she may not be responsible for that; but if a lot of people don’t, there is usually something wrong, and that person really needs to change.”‎ ‎ “I'm too old to change.” Harry said, “I don’t want to go to school.”‎ ‎“Don't be silly, Harry,” his mother said, going to the garage to get his car out. “You have to go. You’re quite well, and you still have a lot of things to learn. And besides that, you're the headmaster of the school.”‎
