I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.‎ When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.‎ It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.‎ ‎4．What did the writer become aware of?‎ A．She had ever typed a report about seeds. ‎ B．She had various snacks while watching TV.‎ C．She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.‎ ‎ D．She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.‎ ‎5．What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?‎ A．The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B．Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. ‎ C．The families get together for it. D．Children can eat delicious food on that day.‎ ‎6．The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is .‎ A．indifferent B.critical C．objective D．doubtful ‎7．What lesson can we learn from the story?‎ A．One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. ‎ B．It is good to form healthy eating habits.‎ C．Eating habits come from a certain culture.‎ ‎ D．Changing your eating habits will change your life.‎ ‎ C ‎“Data is the new oil.” Like the sticky black thing, all those Is and 0s are of little use until they are processed into something more valuable. That something is you.‎ Five of the world’s ten most valuable companies are built on a foundation of tying data to human beings. Google and Facebook want to find out as much as possible about their users’ interests, activities, friends and family. Amazon has a detailed history of consumer behavior. Tencent and Alibaba are the digital wallets for hundreds of millions of Chinese; both know enough about consumers to provide widely used credit scores. Those with a good Zhima credit score, provided by Alibaba, enjoy discounts. Those without receive few offers. In other words, data are used to decide what sort of access people have to services.‎ That data are valuable is increasingly well-understood by individuals, too, especially because personal information is so often leaked（泄露）or stolen. The list of companies that have suffered some sort of data leak in 2018 alone reads like a roll call of household names: Facebook, Google, British Airways and so on. Such events have caused a switch in the public understanding of data collection. People have started to take notice of all the data they are giving away.‎ Yet few people have changed their online behavior or exercised what few digital rights they possess. Partly this is because managing your own data is time-consuming and complex. But it is more because of a misunderstanding of what is at risk. “Data” is an abstract concept. Far more solid is the idea of identity. It is only when “data” is understood to mean “people” that individuals will demand responsibility from those who seek to know them.‎ The fossils of past actions fuel future economic and social outcomes. Privacy rules and data-protection regulations are extremely important in protecting the rights of individuals. But the first step towards ensuring the fairness of the new information age is to understand that it is not data that are valuable. It is you.‎ ‎8．The example of Zhima credit scores is mentioned to show .‎ A. data help companies target their services B. credit scores change people’s way of life C. Alibaba gains popularity among customers D. people prefer to be offered discounts ‎9．What has caused a change in the public understanding of data collection?‎ A. The development of companies. B. The history of consumption. ‎ C. Cases of data leak and theft. D. Lists of household names.‎ ‎10．People don’t protect their data well mainly because .‎ A. they find it time-consuming and complex B. they are not fully aware of its importance C. they have no access to their personal data D. they are afraid of taking responsibility ‎11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To defend companies’ use of data.‎ B. To show the economic value of data.‎ C. To call for more regulations to protect data.‎ D. To advocate a new way of thinking about data.‎ D Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had—not legs but stumps(残肢) that could he fitted with a kind of special boots, People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ‘Ape Man’ (猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.‎ ‎ Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.‎ ‎ Hank felt himself got cold all over.

There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.‎ ‎ When World War II came , he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job. He took the regular training. he marched and drilled along with the other soldiers.

Waiting until later is one of life‘s guilty secrets, but procrastination ( 拖 延 症 ) is linked to poorer health, work and relationship outcomes. Here are five ways to try to remedy (纠正) procrastination.‎ ‎1. A five-minute start Five minutes is nothing — it‘s just three hundred seconds. It‘s the length of a song or a TV commercial. Pick up a project you’ve been putting off and spare just 300‎ seconds of your time to do it. 16 After a while, the momentum (动力) of beginning the task will push you forward.‎ ‎2. Set goals and rewards During the day, set goals and rewards. Each time you achieve a goal, you earn the reward: a short break, a funny YouTube video or something else. 17 Make sure you select a time to review your progress and adjust your targets accordingly.‎ ‎3. Be good to yourself — me today versus me tomorrow Sometimes, when you find yourself buried in work, you are upset with yourself for not having started earlier. Imagine a conversation, between ―you today and ―‎ you tomorrow. 18 ‎ ‎4. I was there — witnessing accountability (责任制)‎ ‎ 19 Consider going on a diet: Is there more pressure if you don‘t tell a soul, or if you announce it to all your friends, with strict rules to follow if you are invited to dinner? It seems an obvious way of making you feel guilty, but it can also be highly effective.‎ ‎5. Set creative punishments — negative consequences Make the consequences of inaction so unbearable that you have no choice but to get busy now. You could write a note to someone that you don‘t like. Give the note to a friend with strict instructions to mail the note if you do not achieve your goal. The more you dislike the other party, the stronger the motivation to get the task done.‎ Procrastination is a silent killer of dreams. 20 By understanding and fixing your procrastination, you‘ll discover you jump-start many areas of your life.‎ A.Everyone suffers from it.‎ B.Once the five minutes is up, stop and reassess. ‎ C.Everyone likes to have a dream of procrastination.‎ D.Going public with a goal increases your support and accountability. ‎ E.What is the future of my life with the intention of putting off my tasks?‎ F.If ―you tomorrow could chat with ―you today, what would he say?‎ G.It‘s important that the goals are realistic and the rewards are in proportion(按比例).‎ 第二部分 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ For me, two of the loveliest words in English are “Life persists”.‎ I 21 them years ago as a college student, sitting in the library, 22 , working on a paper. Out of nowhere, those words came 23 off the page in a quote, “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of 24 truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”‎ Suddenly I wasn’t unhappy and impatient any more. Then I 25 my granddad. I ‎ loved to talk with him. And I was 26 to hear what he’d think of it. He had poor hearing, so I had to 27 it a few times, but once he 28 it, he laughed. “All I can say to that is totally 29 ,”he said on the phone. I told him how glad I was, after a long winter, to finally see spring and 30 to find that quote. “Why is that?” he asked. “Well, spring is a sure 31 that life persists. And it just makes me 32 . ” He laughed again, and then 33 his lovely voice, he recited for me his 34 “spring time” words, “The desert shall rejoice(高兴) and blossom(开花) like the rose … even with 35 and singing.”‎ Many years later, 36 my husband and I drove across a desert with many wildflowers and blooming cactuses (仙人掌), I could 37 hear my granddad laughing, “The desert shall rejoice.”‎ Life persists, and so do we, in the silence of 38 and the blooming of cactuses; and in the dead of 39 and the green of spring.
