Yet when it dawned on me just how much time I was spending socializing, I realized I may be taking it to an extreme. I found that, on average, I was spending 22 hours or more each week on social activities. So, to see what would happen to my work output, health and wellbeing, I decided to try and cut out my social life entirely. ‎ I knew, at times, I filled my schedule simply out of fear of missing out (担心被熟人忘记), but also as a way to shift focus away from my work. For one month, I declined all in-person activities with friends: going out for drinks; dinners; parties and non-work related events, to see if it would make me more productive, improve my concentration and career future. ‎ On the first day of the month-long experiment, I had to fight some anxiety over missing out. But as the days passed, I started to relax. I only had one choice to consider for Saturday night—to stay home—and this limitation left me more satisfied with my decision. I felt more content working, reading or watching TV. ‎ While I found more time to work, I also noticed a change in my overall health. I found myself cooking more at home, doing daily exercise, getting to bed earlier each night, reading, and enjoying moments of rest and boredom throughout the day. ‎ Having no social life left me more free time than I’d imagine. Such free moments are vital for creativity, and mind wandering has been linked to creative problem solving. During the experiment I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects. ‎ Of course socializing is an important way to build work contacts. While one month of no social life did not impact my relationship with existing clients, if I had continued, it may harm my ability to build new ones. ‎ ‎21．Why did the author make up his mind to stop all of his social life? A. Some people were too difficult to get along with. ‎ B. He wanted to see the influence on his work, health and happiness. ‎ C. It was not necessary for him to have so many work contacts. ‎ D. He wanted to shift his focus from work to daily life. ‎ ‎22．Which of the following is NOT one of the changes in the author’s healthy life? A. Taking exercise every day. ‎ B. Having more time to rest. ‎ C. Getting up early to enjoy fresh air. ‎ D. Having more chances to cook at home. ‎ ‎23．What did the author think of the one-month experiment? ‎ A. It left him with regular moments to think of new ideas. ‎ B. He often felt very bored during this long period. ‎ C. He often had to fight some anxiety over missing out. ‎ D. He found that he was actually not satisfied with this decision. 24．What can you infer from the last paragraph? ‎ A. The author will continue to do as what he did in the experiment. ‎ B. The author will spend a proper amount of time in socializing. ‎ C. The experiment has affected his relationship with his customers. ‎ D. The author will spend more time socializing than before the experiment.‎ B ‎ Can you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car? Learning theses skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons (视野).Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you have employed the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is just too convenient and too powerful. ‎ Technological developments all through the years have enabled us to have more than our own abilities. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed—the computer. It extends the capabilities of our minds. ‎ Computers have saved organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or ignored. There is no doubt that computers have a positive influence upon people’s life, and the growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand, the computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy (侵犯隐私), fraud (欺诈), and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples. So the computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into financial profits (利益), personal privacy and our society in general. The choice is yours, and only through a knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many, many benefits of the computer age. ‎ ‎25．Why does the author mention learning to ride a bike? ‎ A. To lead in the topic to be talked about in the passage. ‎ B. To show riding a bike is the most important. ‎ C. To say the skill of riding comes before computer. ‎ D. To show that skill of riding bikes is not powerful. ‎ 26. What does the underlined word “extends” mean in the second paragraph. ‎ A. Exhibits. B. Exercises. C. Examines. D. Expands. ‎ 27. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph? ‎ A. To explain the importance of computers. ‎ B. To emphasize the surprising growth of computer usage. ‎ C. To stress the danger of the invasion of privacy through computer. ‎ D. To show how to avoid the great damage while enjoying the benefits. C ‎ Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (标签). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, then you’d better save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either. ‎ For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories（种类） of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats. ‎ While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were ‎ ‎20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can ‎ reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends. ‎ Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste." Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic. ‎ ‎28．What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?. A. Organic food helps you save money. ‎ B. Organic food is not always nutritious. ‎ C. Organic food contains much more nutrients. ‎ D. Organic food is worth the high price. ‎ ‎29．How did Smith-Spangler and her colleagues carry out the research?. A. They made 223 studies about the consumers. ‎ B. They made 17 studies about the nutrients. ‎ C. They made two kinds of research. ‎ D. They compared the consumers with the nutrients. ‎ ‎30．What might be the author’s attitude toward organic food? A. It makes little difference to have organic food. ‎ B. It costs less money if we all buy organic food. ‎ C. Only the freshest organic food is worth twice the price. ‎ D. We should not spend any money on organic food. ‎ 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。 ‎ People tend to feel busier and busier and lots of them find it hard to get up in the morning. Therefore, they put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. A better plan for sleep can help. 31 . ‎ To make a better plan, first you should find the right motivation（动机） to make a change. 32 . ‎ Do you think it important to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make. ‎ Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. 33 If so, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags so that you can enjoy breakfast with your family. Do you think it necessary to spend 15 minutes in line at the cafe to get coffee. That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer. ‎ ‎ 34 If you feel tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating(补偿)on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day. ‎ Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. If the steps you take are working, keep it up. 35 . A. Get a sleep specialist. ‎ B.

There is one word that is often on the36 of Americans: “ Sorry”. ‎ Once as I was walking, a young man ran by hurriedly, 37 against my handbag. Even as he continued 38 his way, he turned back and said “ sorry” to me. Even in a rush, he didn’t forget to 39 . One day, after I bought a mango, the salesman was giving me the change, but I wasn’t 40 for it and a coin dropped to the ground. “ I’m sorry,” he said while bending down to pick it up. I was puzzled why would he apologize 41 it was my fault ? ‎ Another time, I stepped on a man’s 42 in an elevator, and at the same time, we both said “ sorry”. I thought it interesting --- was it 43 necessary for him to apologize? Later on, an American friend 44 to me that according to the American mentality, the 45 is a public place, and 46 should be able to stand in it. After someone occupy a 47 in it, making it difficult for someone else to find a place to stand, isn’t it necessary to 48 an apology? ‎ If you go to the 49 and the tickets happen to be sold out, the ticket seller will say, “Sorry.” 50 one of your hopes goes unrealized, an American will say “ sorry” as a 51 of pity. ‎ During my 52 in America, I gradually understood that when friction ( 摩 擦 ) appears in daily life, Americans don’t 53 much about who is wrong; If someone is troubled, a “ sorry” is always necessary. When this happens, even if the other person is 54 , the “ sorry” cools tempers and human kindness is shown. Perhaps this is why I never saw anyone 55 on the buses, subways or streets of America. ‎ ‎36．A. cheeks ‎ ‎37．A. brushing ‎ B. lips ‎ B. blowing ‎ C. eyes ‎ C. struggling ‎ D. ears ‎ D. fighting ‎ ‎38．A. in ‎ B. on ‎ C. by ‎ D. at ‎ ‎39．A. smile ‎ B. advise ‎ C. forgive ‎ D. apologize ‎ ‎40．A. ready ‎ B. happy ‎ C. angry ‎ D. greedy ‎ ‎41．A. before ‎ B. after ‎ C. when ‎ D. unless ‎ ‎42．A. hand ‎ B. clothes ‎ C. hand ‎ D. foot ‎ ‎43．A. clearly ‎ B. really ‎ C. nearly ‎ D. badly ‎ ‎44．A. appealed ‎ B. complained ‎ C. explained ‎ D. announced ‎ ‎45．A. elevator ‎ B. bus ‎ C. train ‎ D. plane ‎ ‎46．A. none ‎ B. nobody ‎ C. everyone ‎ D. someone ‎ ‎47．A. position ‎ B. seat ‎ C. room ‎ D. corner ‎ ‎48．A. refuse ‎ B. raise ‎ C. express ‎ D.replace ‎ ‎49．A. meeting ‎ B. restaurant ‎ C. movies ‎ D. meal ‎ ‎50．A.

Whenever there is an exam, he watches very closely, making sure no act of cheating is neglected, and any student who cheats will be seriously punished. ‎ ‎ I remember many times after tests, Mr. Ward found that the students sitting around me had better scores than the others and the further away a student was from me, the worse his grade was. Mr. Ward suspected that some of the juniors "accidentally" got some of my answers. ‎ ‎ So he and I had a very interesting talk about cheating. ‎ ‎ Mr. Ward once told me of some of the ways students have tried to cheat. Student A intentionally "drops" his pencil an unusually far distance from his desk. So he stands up and walks slowly across the room to take it back. On the way, he glances at the papers. Student B gets a piece of paper and writes down all the formulas（公式） on a tiny bit of paper taped to the inside of the kid's palm. These incidents aren't very rare. ‎ ‎ The last day of the entire school year, all I have left was my math exam and there seemed to be some definite tension in the air because this was the biggest test of the year. I saw some kids trying to do some last minute studying, some trying to calm themselves down by breathing slowly and some saying a silent prayer. ‎ ‎ Mr. Ward goes to the front and starts handing out the tests by rows. After explaining the rules of the test, he said very clearly and concisely, "If you cheat, I will take your test and tear it up. You will get a 0 for the biggest grade of the year." Mr. Ward moved very effortlessly and efficiently about the room and during every test he goes into a sort of RADAR mode( 雷 达 模 式 ). He sat at the front and watched the room for anything that may look like cheating. During this RADAR mode, if you were cheating, you would be caught.

For the remainder of the test, Mr. Ward watched that kid as he struggled in a wild manner, flipping papers back and forth and writing and erasing even more furiously. He seemed to use his calculator a lot more than he needed. Mr. Ward seemed to have found something unusual.‎ After the exam, Mr. Ward asked the kid he was watching to go to the his office. He closed the door and from that moment on, I heard about 4 minutes of Mr. Ward yelling at the kid. The kid was terrified and trembling, telling Mr. Ward what he had done during the exam. had written his answers inside the cover of the calculator and every time he was "using his calculator" he was really looking at the formulas and other stuff. Mr. Wardtoreup his paper and gave the kid a zero for the end of the year exam. That was the first and the last time that I have seen Mr. Ward ever yell like that. ‎ 详解 阅读A ‎【解析】本文主要讲了作者意识到自己花了太多的时间在社交上，于是进行了为期一个月的实验，完全切断社交生活，作者很享受这段惬意生活。‎ ‎21。细节理解。 由第一段的So, to see what would happen to my work output, health and wellbeing, I decided to try and cut out my social life entirely.可知，他完全停止社交生活是为了看看这对他的工作、生活倒地有什么影响。故选B。‎ ‎22．细节理解题。由第三段可知，这只有C项不是完全停止社交的好处。故选C。‎ ‎23．细节理解。由倒数第二段During the experiment I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects可知，他有时间经常想想新点子。故选A。‎ ‎24．推理判断。 由最后一段可知，如果继续下去，会影响作者的建立新客户关系的能力。因此他不会再继续他的实验中的做法，而是花适量的时间去社交。当然也不会像实验之前那样过度社交。故选B。‎ 阅读B ‎【解析】本文以浅易的文字描述了电脑学习对扩展技能的重要性，并警告电脑可可能造成的严重问题。提出解决这一问题的唯一办法是掌握电脑系统知识。‎ ‎25．篇章结构。:第一段。开头提到学习骑自行车的技能的目的是引出使用电脑这一话题。故选A。‎ ‎26．猜测词义。从前文Technological developments all through the years have enabled us to have more than our own abilities.可知，新的发明和技术可以扩展我们的能力。故选D。‎ ‎27．段落主旨，写作目的。文章最后一段警告电脑可可能造成的严重问题。提出解决这一问题的唯一办法是掌握电脑系统知识。故选D。‎ 阅读C ‎【解析】试题分析：本文为议论文由人们花很多钱去购买有机食品入题，提出有机食品真的比传统食品更好吗？然后引用专家的调查结果证实有机食品并未比传统食品有更好的营养成分。‎ ‎28．细节理解。解决本题的关键是对这一句子的理解。如果你想多花点钱买有机食品想得到跟营养更安全的食品，那么最好还省省你的钱吧。再结合本篇文章都是谈有机食品并非更有营养，更安全，便知选项B正确。故选B。‎ ‎29．C 细节理解。第二段介绍了研究者们将研究分为两大类：对消费者的研究和对营养成分的研究。故选C。‎ ‎30．作者观点态度。作者引用美国斯坦福大学的研究数据表明所谓的有机食品并没有什么特别之处。故选A .‎ 七选五 ‎【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何帮助人们制定计划调节生物钟，确保起床不再是一件令人头痛的事情。‎ ‎31. 前一句是要制定一个计划。从后文是谈如何制定计划的。所以应该选G。‎ ‎32. 从后一句Do you think it important to get up in time to have breakfast with your family…可以知道，这里是“你应该断定这个是否很重要”。故选C。‎ ‎33. 从上下句可知，这里是关于安排时间与家人吃早饭。故选E。‎ ‎34. 本段是谈周末的计划的，故选B。‎ ‎35. 本段是谈计划的跟踪评估的。前句是，如果你采取的措施惯用，那就坚持。所以，该句应该是，如果不管用，就…。故选F。‎ 完形填空 ‎【解析】作者介绍了在美国人们频繁使用sorry的例子，描述了其作用及给社会带来的和谐。‎ ‎36. 从下文可知，美国常说“sorry”一词。故选B。‎ ‎37.从上文可是，这个人匆匆而过，碰到了我的包了。所以用brushagainst。故选A。‎ ‎38. continue on one’s way 继续走路，赶路。故选B。‎ ‎39.这个人很礼貌。尽管他忙于赶路，也不忘记说声道歉。故选D。‎ ‎40.营业员给我找零的时候我买来得及去接，一枚硬币掉落了。故选A。‎ ‎41.我感到迷惑。（当）是我的过错的时候，他为什么要道歉。故选C。‎ ‎42.乘电梯时容易踩到别人的脚。故选D。‎ ‎43.意思是，难道他真的有必要道歉吗？故选B。‎ ‎44.我不明白。所以后来以为美国朋友给我解释。故选C。‎ ‎45.前文提到事情是发生在elevator电梯里的。故选A。‎ ‎46.电梯的公共场地，每个人都应该有站的地方。故选C。‎ ‎47.一个人上了电梯后，会占据一个位置。故选A。‎ ‎48.expressanapology表达歉意。故选C。‎ ‎49.从下文需要买票可知，这是去看电影。故选C。‎ ‎50.本句意思是，不管什么时候，要是一个人的愿望没有能实现，那么美国人就会说sorry来作为同情的一种表示。故选D。‎ ‎51. a sign of这里意思相当于表明, 表示。故选C。‎ ‎52.从文章开头可知，作者cometostayinAmerica。是没有说明具体是干什么的。因此此处最准确的用词是stay。故选B。‎ ‎53.从上下文可知，美国人说sorry是不在乎是谁的过错。故选D。‎ ‎54.尽管是另一个人受了伤害，受伤害的一方也会说个sorry ‎。这样可以要爆发的脾气冷却下来，同时也体现了人性的善良。故选A。‎ ‎55.作者终于明白，人们如此礼貌善良，难怪他从来看不到任何人在公共场所吵架呢。故选B。‎ 听力录音原文 Text 1‎ M: What are all those paintings on that wall over there?
