After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.‎ Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.‎ Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to ‎ move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.‎ Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. ‎ This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.‎ Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.‎ That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.‎ ‎4. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?‎ A. Her camera stopped working. B. A woman blocked her view.‎ C. Someone asked her to leave. D. A friend approached from behind.‎ ‎5. According to the author, the woman was probably_______.‎ A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past ‎6. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?‎ A. The rich color of the landscape. B. The perfect positioning of the camera.‎ C. The woman’s existence in the photo. D. The soft sunlight that summer day.‎ ‎7. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.‎ A. a particular life experience B. the pleasure of traveling C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship C Imagine you got paid to do shopping, and could keep the things you bought with other people's money. Does this sound like a dream? Well, for some, like Amy Knott, from Chicago, this is their job.‎ Amy Knott is a mystery shopper. She is paid to visit a store, eat in a restaurant, go to a bank, stay in a hotel, get her hair cut, fill up her gas tank, or see a movie. She pretends to be an ordinary customer, but afterwards she writes a report about her experience, commenting on things like：How long did you wait in line? Was the food hot? Did the cashier say " Thank you.”？Did the restroom have soap and tissue? This gives companies useful information about how they can improve their customer service.‎ ‎ So who can become a mystery shopper? You do not need any special qualifications or experience, but you need a good memory, an eye for detail, and good writing skills. When you apply for the job, instead of an interview, you will be asked to write about something like "What was your best shopping experience?"‎ ‎ What is the pay like? For a 15-minute visit to a store, you might get $ 10 and the cost of what you buy. For a haircut, you might get $ 35 and the cost of the haircut. Most mystery shoppers do this job in their spare time, like Byron Jenner, who visits a restaurant on his lunch break every day and earns about $ 500 extra a month. But others, like Amy, make it their full-time career, and earn up to $ 40,000 a year.‎ ‎ "I love mystery shopping. I can't believe I actually get paid to have fun," she said. "For example, tonight my husband and I will go out, have a $ 150 dinner, go to stay at a luxury hotel, and I'll walk away with $ 300.”‎ ‎8. Amy Knott is paid to go shopping .‎ ‎ A. to comment on some things ‎ ‎ B. to see whether the cashier says "Thank you."‎ ‎ C. to see whether the restroom has soap and tissue ‎ ‎ D. to do a research for a company to improve its service ‎ ‎9. Which of the following is NOT the qualification for a mystery shopper?‎ ‎ A. A good memory. B. Passing an interview.‎ ‎ C. Good writing skills. D. An eye for detail.‎ ‎10. As a mystery shopper, Amy Knott feels the job .‎ ‎ A. a sad thing B. a surprising thing C. a tiresome mailer D. a great pleasure ‎11. What does the underlined word "luxury" in the last paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. A condition of much noise. B. A condition of large size.‎ ‎ C. A condition of great comfort. D. A condition of special cheapness.‎ D Teaching can be one of the most satisfying jobs in the United States. Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call ‘teacher burnout’, a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.‎ In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.‎ And, a 2017 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.‎ The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California — Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defines mindfulness as keeping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”‎ A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.‎ Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs seek to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.‎ Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bronx section of New York City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to take time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful walking and mindful eating — ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.‎ Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”‎ ‎12. What does ‘teacher burnout’ in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. A situation of physical exercise ‎ B. A condition of happiness and sorrow C. A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional relaxation ‎ D. A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional tiredness ‎13. What do we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?‎ A. A 2010 study was conducted by a college.‎ B. Forty-six percent of teachers report high daily stress in last year’s study.‎ C. Nearly half of American teachers leave the profession before their tenth year.‎ D. Daily stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of teaching.‎ ‎14. What do mindfulness training programs designed for teachers try to do?‎ A. They try to make teachers enjoy those activities fully ‎ B. They try to reduce teacher stress to help teachers be more effective when teaching C. They try to make teachers take slow, deep breaths to become calm D. They try to make teachers spend time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings ‎15. What can we infer from Naughton’s words?‎ A. Enjoy all kinds of activities carefully. ‎ B. Don’t be distracted by worries or possibilities.‎ C. The deep breathing methods are a good way to let her keep calm when faced with stress.‎ D. The deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”‎ 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。(注意：E涂AB： F 涂AC: G 涂AD )‎ What's the biggest problem with memory skills? __16__ There are many memory skills that work well, but you‘ll forget them when you need them most — unless you make using them a habit. So when you take the time to learn a technique, use it until it becomes automatic. Here are some for you to have a try.‎ ‎ Use a story-list. As a child, I went to a party. There was a game that involved looking at a table covered in fifteen various items. __17__ Finally, one boy won the prize by remembering all fifteen items. Later, I learned why he won. His father taught him a simple trick that none of us other kids knew. The skill is to tie the items together in an imaginative story.‎ ‎__18__When you learn a person's name, for example, tell yourself, “Remember that”. This signals your unconscious (潜意识的) mind to rank this input as more important.‎ Know why you want to remember something, and how you‘ll remember it. To remember a person, for example, ask why they'll be important to you in the future, imagine where you’ll see them next, and connect that to anything you notice about them. Seeing the importance of remembering really helps. __19__ Do you ever forget where you put your keys? You have probably tried retracing (追溯) your steps, at least doing it in your imagination.__20__When you set the keys on the chair, see yourself walking in and setting the keys on the chair. You won't forget where they are.‎ ‎ There are many more of these memory tricks. If you want them to be useful, though, don't just read about them. Make one or two memory skills a habit and start today. ‎ A. Tell yourself to remember.‎ B. Where can you pick up these skills? ‎ C. The answer is remembering to use them.‎ D. It is not easy for us to learn memory techniques.‎ E. We had to write down as many items as we could remember.‎ F. Additional connections can set the memory more firmly in your brain. ‎ G. This can work well, but even better is to prevent the forgetting beforehand.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用 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。‎ ‎ ‎ I was traveling by train from Perth to Central one morning.
