According to federal guidelines, French fries count as a serving of vegetables. Many parents and others are upset that a salty, deep-fried food is replacing healthier options like carrot sticks. As a result, the potato---what French fries are made of --- has been getting a bad rap.‎ ‎"The problem is not the potato," insists Greg. "Potatoes are very healthy. But any food, even carrots will be less healthy if it's cooked in grease(油脂)."‎ Two months ago, Greg decided to eat nothing but potatoes for 60 days. As a high school science teacher and son of a potato farmer, he wanted to do something to draw ‎ attention to potatoes as a healthy food and a good choice as part of anyone's regular meals.‎ ‎"It's been an interesting experience," Greg said. “For a while, I wasn't sure I would make it.‎ I was pretty tired of eating potatoes after a few weeks."‎ But for Greg there were some benefits that he hadn't expected. He’s lost 15 pounds and he feels better than he has in years. "I have so much more energy," he says. "I've been running and playing on a local basketball team, and I feel like I'm playing as well as I did when I was in high school."‎ And Greg has gotten a lot of attention, much more than he expected. "It's been fantastic. Thousands of people have read my blog. I have been sharing recipes and talking about the experience. Every day I get to tell people what a great idea it is to eat potatoes."‎ Greg is glad to be back to a normal diet, but he still eats potatoes at least 5 or 6 times a week. "Everyone should!" he says with a smile. "Potatoes are healthy and taste great!"‎ 1. What does the underline part "getting a bad rap" mean?‎ A. Receiving little attention. B. Becoming good for people's health.‎ C. Getting more and more popular. D. Obtaining an unfair judgment.‎ 2. After eating potatoes for a few weeks, Greg .‎ A. gave up his plan B. put on some weight C. became less healthy D. was sick of potatoes 3. Why did Greg decided to eat potatoes only?‎ A. Because potatoes are cheap. B. To draw attention to himself.‎ C. To prove that potatoes are healthy. D. Because he loves potatoes very much.‎ 4.

But is it just a passing feeling or the medical condition known as depression? Google has set up a short test that can help people recognize whether they are suffering from clinical depression. The test, called PHQ-9, will be offered to people who search for “depression” or “clinical” using Google on a mobile device. The search results will show information on depression with a link to a series of questions, to help figure out if someone has signs of depression.‎ To take the test, you should first search for “depression” in Google’s search engine. The results should show an explanation about clinical depression. Below the explanation is a message that reads, “Check if you’re clinically depressed.” Click that message to begin taking the test. Google says the test takes five minutes to complete. Touch the “Get Started” button to begin. At the end, you will see a list of numbers from 0 to 27. It will show how likely you are to have signs of clinical depression. The website also shows what to do next, based on the results of the test.‎ PHQ-9 was developed for adults, not children. The test is available on Google search results only on phones and tablets, not other computers. If you search using a computer, you will see information about depression, but not the link to PHQ-9. If you want to search for “depression” with a computer, or do not see the link to the test on your phone or tablet, you can search for “PHQ-9” on Google instead. By taking this test on Google account. Google says that your answers will be kept secret. They will not be shared with others.‎ 2. According to the first paragraph, .‎ A. Sadness is a sign of clinical depression B. People cannot see the test on mobile phones C. The test has a number of questions D. The test is aimed at treating depression 3. According to the text, how can users take the test?‎ A. By asking the researchers for help.‎ B. By using a computer to search for the explanation of depression.‎ C.

It was developed for both adults and children.‎ B. People can’t see the link to PHQ-9 on computers.‎ C. Google will inform hospitals of the results to treat depression.‎ D. People can search for “depression” on the phone to avoid it.‎ 2. What is the author’s attitude towards the test?‎ A. Concerned B. Supportive C. Objective D. Negative D An added 20 minutes of commuting （通勤）per day is equal to a 19 percent pay cut when it comes to job satisfaction, a study has found.‎ Researchers examined the effects of commuting to work on happiness of more than 26,000 employees in England over a five-year period. They found that every extra minute of commuting time reduces both job and free-time satisfaction, increases stress and worsens mental health.‎ Dr Kiron Chatterjee, a professor at the University of the West of England, led the study. “While longer commuting time was found to reduce job satisfaction, it is also clear that people take on longer commutes partly to increase their earnings, which in turn improves job satisfaction,” Dr Chatterjee said. “This raises interesting questions about whether the additional income connected with longer commutes fully makes up for the negative aspects of the journey to work.”‎ The study found those who walk or cycle to work do not report reductions in free-time satisfaction in the same way as other commuters, even with the same length of commuting time.‎ Bus commuters feel the negative effects of longer commuting time more strongly than users of other modes of transport. Women’s job satisfaction is reduced more by longer commutes than that of men.‎ ‎“The findings show that longer journeys to work have bad effects on happiness, particularly through loss of free time,” Dr Chatterjee said.‎ However, longer commutes were not found to have a large effect on life satisfaction overall. “This is because people take longer commutes for good reasons relating to improving their employment, housing and family situations. And these contributes to increasing life satisfaction,” said Dr Chatterjee.‎ This does not mean that the negative effects of longer commutes can be ignored. ‎ Shorter commutes make it more likely that an employee will remain in his or her job.‎ 1. How will people feel if it takes them a long time to get to work, according to the text?‎ A. They will feel very angry with themselves and others.‎ B. They will feel less satisfied with their jobs.‎ C. They will feel it necessary to reduce their free time to work.‎ D. They will feel more stressed than their colleagues.‎ 2. Why do some people choose a longer commute, according to the text?‎ A. To build their bodies.‎ B. To improve job satisfaction.‎ C. To earn more money.‎ D. To enjoy the trip to work.‎ 3. What is one of the negative effects of a longer commute?‎ A. Those walking to work experience the same free-time reduction as others.‎ B. Those who take a bus to work do not feel that bad.‎ C. Commuters who cycle to work have worse health.‎ D. Women tend to be more unsatisfied with their job than men.‎ 4. What will shorter commuting time mean?‎ A. Employees will have a better chance of being promoted.‎ B. Employees will have higher life satisfaction overall.‎ C. Employees will be less likely to quit their jobs.‎ D. Employees will have a better family situation.‎ 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。‎ No matter what kind of job you have, you will, at some point, have to respond to an e-mail. Let’s say that you are applying for a job or need to ask a coworker for help. So, you send an email. You really want to get a reply. 36 Yes, they can.‎ The subject line is what people will see first. Subject lines with three to four words are the best for getting a response. 37 So, remember when writing your subject line --- less is more.‎ ‎ 38 It has been found that a third-grade level works best and gets the most responses. So, use simple words in simple sentences. Don’t use complex words when simple ones will work just fine.‎ Keep it short. But not too short! The best length is between 50 and 125 words. Experts say the response rate for emails of this length is above 50 percent. But, do not write all 125 words into one long paragraph. 39 ‎ The tone of your email matters very much. The tone is the feeling, or attitude expressed by the words that someone uses in speaking or writing.‎ When writing an email, be positive or negative. 40 For example, if you have to write an email describing a negative experience and you want a response, you need to write it in a negative tone. But try not to be too negative.‎ A. The response rate goes down, they found, with each word you add.‎ B. A good way to get a response is to ask the reader a question.‎ C. The reading level of the language you use in your emails matters.‎ D. Break them up into a couple of short paragraphs to make it easy to read.‎ E. Being neutral --- neither positive nor negative --- gets you nowhere.‎ F. Can the words you choose increase your chances of getting a response?‎ G. Even the length of your subject line may affect your chances of getting a response.‎ 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。‎ Jack was working for his future all day.
