It states that the store’s cafeteria now requires customers to order food before sitting down in cafeteria seats．The policy is in response to an elderly blind dating group that occupies seats for a long time，consuming only their own food brought from home．Do you support IKEA’s new regulation ? China Daily readers share their opinions with us．‎ Lee Xin (China)‎ The elderly are harmless．They are lonely and are probably hoping to find some company again．If anything，the store should at least sympathize with these old people．‎ Mbursian (US)‎ This is more for socializing than for romance．I really don’t picture a home furnishing store as a good dating place for seniors．‎ IKEA could also post a reasonable time limit per visit during peak hours．Or instead of tables and chairs，they could use those standing tables and get rid of the chairs altogether．At least IKEA’s cafeteria isn’t occupied by the dancing grannies and their portable PA systems(音响) ．‎ SEARU (Australia)‎ Romance is the most important thing while eating is not that important! So a noble man always leaves more space for seniors’ love affairs!‎ Mr Qiu (Shanghai，China 65 years old)‎ We’ve been to fast food outlets like McDonald’s—but there are barely any peers there．We feel like aliens—surrounded by youngsters．If there is another place in Shanghai where elderly people can gather, we are more than ready to pay twice as much and travel further．‎ TedM (UK)‎ Romance can arise in many places, even IKEA．However this debate arose as a result of many people taking advantage of IKEA's generous drink offers，going there to meet and stay with friends without buying anything．IKEA is a shop; it exists to provide a service for a reasonable profit．It is not a public park．‎ ‎21. How many people are in support of this new regulation ?‎ A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5‎ ‎22. What is the major cause of this new regulation?‎ A．Senior blind dates influencing their business．‎ B．IKEA has zero tolerance for romantic behavior．‎ C．The strong reaction of netizens on social media．‎ D．Old people eating their own food to save money．‎ ‎23. People who are against the new regulation will probably agree that __________．‎ A．seniors’ love affairs can contribute to the store’s image B．IKEA is the only place where seniors can find their peers C．the society is being too judgmental and lacks understanding D．IKEA should not reserve a special area for the old people to date B More and more people in America are celebrating the Indian holiday Diwali. Diwali is Hindi for “row of lights". It is the most important holiday in India.‎ Many people around the world are beginning to celebrate it as well. The United States is one of the places where the festival is becoming more common. Diwali celebrations can now be found at American landmarks like Disneyland in California and New York City's Times Square. They are also held in many parks and museums.‎ Neeta Bhasin created the Times Square event. She said Indian immigrants have found great success in America. But, she said, many Americans still do not know much about India.So, she decided to act.“I felt it's about time that we should take India to mainstream America and show India's rich culture, heritage, arts and variety to the world," she said, “and I couldn't find a better place than Times Square.”‎ Bhasin came to the United States from India 40 years ago. She is president of ASB Communications, the marketing firm behind Diwali at Times Square. Tens of thousands of people attend the event, now in its fourth year.‎ In India, Diwali is a five-day harvest festival held just before the Hindu New Year. The exact dates change from year to year but Diwali is always in the fall. Celebrations include lighting oil lamps or candles called “diyas".‎ A Diwali celebration will light up Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim this year.Visitors can watch performances of traditional Indian dances and take part in a Bollywood dance party. The event is part of a Festival of Holidays program at the theme park to show cultural traditions from around the world. The program takes place on November 10th through January 7th.‎ San Antonio, Texas, also holds a Diwali celebration. And it is one of the nation's largest celebrations, with more than 15 ,000 people in attendance each year. Visitors can enjoy Indian dance，food and fireworks. Organizers also plan to float hundreds of lighted candles in the San Antonio River, along the city's famous River Walk.‎ ‎24. Which is the main symbol in the Indian holiday Diwali?‎ ‎ A. Dances. B. Lamps. C. Food. D. Clothes.‎ ‎25. Why did Neeta Bhasin set up the Times Square event?‎ ‎ A. To make the American culture richer. ‎ ‎ B. To create a new business for the firm.‎ ‎ C. To make Indian culture better known in the US.‎ ‎ D. To show the achievements of Indian immigrants.‎ ‎26. What do we know about Diwali?‎ ‎ A. It is held in autumn in India.‎ ‎ B. It lasts five days in America.‎ ‎ C. It has been held for 40 years in America.‎ ‎ D. It happens from November 10th to January 7th in India. ‎ ‎27. What is the main idea of the text? ‎ ‎ A.

Diwali has become the most important holiday in India.‎ C Scientists have found what they believe are pieces of a meteor(流星)that fell to the earth last year. The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.‎ The crew of the Nautilus, a private research ship, recovered the rock particles(颗粒).The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.‎ The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20 years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion. ‎ The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles(ROVs)， called Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines help researchers find and collect materials from the seafloor. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean, Until the latest research, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations.‎ The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons. First，meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater. Secondly, they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor. Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.‎ ‎28. What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration Trust?‎ ‎ A. To recover the rock particles.‎ ‎ B. To observe movements of the universe.‎ ‎ C. To study unexplored places of the ocean.‎ ‎ D. To examine creatures of the explored ocean.‎ ‎29. What mainly caused the start of the search in the sea?‎ ‎ A. A huge meteor shower. B. Business value of meteors.‎ ‎ C. Plenty of natural resources. D. The brainstorm of researchers.‎ ‎30. Why do the scientists prefer to search for meteors in the ocean?‎ ‎ A. They can find meteors more easily. ‎ ‎ B. They may find bigger rock particles.‎ ‎ C. They like to explore strange sea areas. ‎ ‎ D. They have better submarine equipment.‎ ‎31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Offer clues for the search. ‎ ‎ B. Give reasons to support a guess.‎ ‎ C. Stress the importance of the event. ‎ ‎ D. Describe the process of the search.‎ D Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report of 156 nations.‎ The report, released Wednesday by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions ‎ Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of well-being: income, freedom, trust, life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year’s report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country’s immigrants.‎ The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place, and last year’s winner, Norway, came in second place followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.‎ ‎“The top five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the first report in 2012,” co-editor John Helliwell told CNN. “In a division with such excellent teams, changes in the top spot are to be expected.”‎ Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in sixth place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 nations changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category(including Mexico 24th overall, but 10th in immigration).‎ ‎“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”‎ Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the UK was 19th followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.‎ The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before World Happiness Day on March 20, when the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”.‎ ‎32. The US ranked ______ in 2017.‎ A. 14 B. 10 C. 18 D. 22‎ ‎33. What is the most significant finding of the report?‎ A. That immigrants are different from residents in the country.‎ B. That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.‎ C. That immigrants become happy when they leave the country.‎ D. That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.‎ B. People’s happiness and well-being should be considered when it comes to policy-making.‎ C. The happiness report came under a week before World Happiness Day.‎ D. What the UN declared was beneficial to all human beings.‎ ‎35. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. World Happiness Day ‎ B. Happiness forever pursuit C. What’s your happiness index(指数)? ‎ D. The 2018 World Happiness Report 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 people struggle with saying “No”. 36 Remember, that you can do something does not mean it is required. Understand you always have a right to turn down an invitation or refuse a favor and figure out the best ways to say “No”. Here are some specific tips.‎ Give yourself permission to say no. Many people have an immediate reaction to say “Yes” when they’re asked to do someone a favor. Keep in mind，you are never required to say “Yes”. It’s actually okay to say “No” sometimes. Accept this as you prepare to say “No” to someone. 37 ‎ Set up your personal boundaries. 38 However, that reason does not have to be concrete. Many people think if they can do something, they should. Your reason for saying “No” can be a simple matter of your own personal boundaries. Think about what boundaries you have, and accept the fact you’re allowed to stay true to them.‎ ‎ 39 People often won’t take “No” for an answer. If you say “No” to someone, they may give you various reasons to try and change your mind. Stay determined for your decision and do not give in easily.‎ Practice saying “ No”. It may sound silly, but you can actually practice saying “No” alone. 40 Practice giving a firm “No” to someone so you get comfortable with the words. Many people are nervous about saying “ No ” and may say “Yes” due to anxiety. Practicing can help get rid of some of this anxiety.‎ A. This will help you say “No” with ease.‎ B. Be aware of potential persuasion techniques. ‎ C. Find a good chance to stand in front of a crowd.‎ D. It’s always easier to say “No” if you have a reason.‎ E. Try standing before a mirror and looking at yourself.‎ F. It’s rather easy for you to set up your personal boundaries.‎ G. If someone asks you a favor，you may feel you have to say “Yes”.‎ 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）‎ Did The Earth Move For You?‎ Eleven-year-old Angela suffered from a disease involving her nervous system. She was unable to 41 and her movement was restricted in other ways as well. The doctors did not hold out much 42 of her ever recovering from this illness. They 43 she’d spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. They said that 44 , if any, were able to come back to normal after catching this disease. But the little girl was brave and confident.

Whatever therapies could be 46 to her case were used. Things didn’t work as the therapists expected. Still they were charmed by her 47 spirit. They taught her about 48 — about seeing herself walking. If it would do nothing else, it would 49 give her hope and something 50 to do in the long waking hours in her bed.
