Experience another culture

You can go to a museum, read a book, or try new food in your area. Remember to keep an open mind and take the time to learn about them.

Bring a shareable treat to class

Agassi was very emotional at the end of his final game. On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior.

“The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn’t say is what I’ve found,” Agassi said to the fans. “I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed.” It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career. Agassi hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel (叛逆者). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore colorful clothes and spat (吐口水) at an umpire (裁判). Over the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences.

Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, “I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you.”

The turning point in Agassi’s career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam (大满贯赛事) at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: “winning is a test of nerves and not just power; it’s a marathon, not a sprint (短跑)”.

And a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he was ranked No. 1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No. 141. He didn’t quit though. “I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my promise,” he said. “That never stopped.”

24．Why was Agassi very emotional when saying goodbye to his career?

A．Because he lost to a player ten years older than him.

B．Because he felt very sad that he was no longer the best player.

C．Because this career has brought him so much.

D．Because he felt sorry for his wild lifestyle.

25．From his speech, we can see that ________.

A．he was thankful to his fans     B．he refused to accept failure

C．he wished he hadn’t hated tennis when young     D．he decided to take marathon as his new career

26．Through winning, Agassi learned that ________.

A．he didn’t try his best in his career B．it must take a long time for anyone to win

C．people need to never give up to win D．winning once or twice is not enough

27．It can be inferred from the passage that Agassi’s father ________.

A．was an excellent tennis player      B．was good at raising Agassi

C．played a key role in Agassi choosing his career D．spent most of his time training his son

C

You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.

At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse”, a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.

In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic”, Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.

Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.

28．What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?

A．Beautifying the city he lives in. B．Introducing eco-friendly products.

C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D．Reducing garbage on the beach.

29．Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?

A．To show the difficulty of their recycling. B．To explain why they are useful.

C．To voice his views on modern art. D．To find a substitute for them.

30．What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers in paragraph 4?

A．Calming. B．Shocking C．Refreshing D．Challenging.

31．What does the text mainly talk about?

A．Artists’ opinions on Plastic safety.               B．Media Interest in contemporary art.

C．Responsibility demanded of big companies.       D．Ocean plastics transformed into sculptures.

Given the opportunity, plenty of people would probably choose to get rid of stress entirely from their lives. Amazing new findings from the University of Georgia, however, indicate that a little bit of stress can actually be very beneficial to both body and brain.

When we’re stressed, we’re usually forced to deal with unpredictable or tense situations that can eat away at our bodies physically. While these scenarios (设想) are almost never fun in the moment, they serve to push us out of our comfort zones ― and that can be a good thing for the mind.

Researchers say that low to moderate (适度的) levels of stress appear to promote improved working memory, which refers to short-term information people use to complete everyday tasks. Not surprisingly, study authors stress that these benefits are limited to moderate stress. Once stress levels reach high levels, it can be dangerous to one’s health. “The bad outcomes of stress are pretty clear and not new,” says lead study author Assaf Oshri, an associate professor in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, in a university release.

The research team analyzed a series of MRI scans (核磁共振成像) of over 1,000 people from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Results show that people who experienced low to moderate stress levels had increased activity in the parts of their brains involved with working memory. Conversely, those dealing with chronic high levels of stress showed a decline in those same brain areas.

Study subjects were asked questions about how frequently they experienced certain thoughts or feelings. For instance, “In the last month, how often have you been upset because of something that happened unexpectedly?” and “In the last month, how often have you found that you could not deal with all tie things that you had to do?”

Participants’ social networks were also analyzed via a number of different measures. Examples include how they felt about their own ability to handle unexpected events, how satisfied they were that their lives matter and are meaningful, and the availability of friend-based support across their social networks.

To assess working memory, subjects were shown a series of four types of images of things like tools and individuals’ faces. Then, later on they were asked to remember whether they were the same photos they were shown before. Study authors analyzed MRIs showing subjects’ brains as they completed the tasks.

Notably, people who reported high levels of social support from friends and family were better able to deal with low to moderate stress levels in a healthy way .

“You need to have the right resources to be strengthened by misfortune and stress,” Prof. Oshri concludes. “For some people, being exposed to stress is a good thing. But for others, maybe not. It’s possible that you can sand more stress if you have a supportive community or family.”

32．What does underlined word that in Para.2 refer to?

A．Unpredictable or tense situations are not fun in the moment.

B．Unpredictable or tense situations can force us out of comfort zones.

C．Low-to-moderate levels of stress can promote improved working memory.

D．A little bit of stress can be very beneficial to both body and brain.

33．How did the team carry out the research?

A．By comparing experimental data with previous ones.

B．By analyzing participants, medical reports and social networks.

C．By referring to research reports of existing researches.

D．By asking the participants to fill in questionnaires.

34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Every coin has two sides. B．No sweet without sweat.

C．Time waits for no man. D．One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

35．What is the text mainly about?

A．A proper amount of stress can benefit us mentally and physically.

B．It’s confirmed that high levels of stress can do harm to our health.

C．Working memory is an important indicator of our present health.

D．A supportive community or family can help us deal with stress in a healthy way.

Key Steps to Cram (临时准备) for a Test Without Losing Your Mind

Social media is electronic ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍综合征). ____36____ Texting, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Pinterest, etc., are great, but take a break to cram for exams.

____37____ We recommend a 50/10 split: 50 minutes studying, 10 minutes of anything else. On your break, exercise, or sing, or dance, or sit still. You pick. Then get back to work. Setting a timer will help you find a rhythm.

Remember, you are cramming at this point. Any learning here has a limited life, so stick to the basics. You are learning just the main ideas and the key details. Those are the things that are most likely to be on the test, so focus your energy there. Look for headings, key people, dates, equations, vocab words, and explanations of major ideas. ____38____

Talk to yourself. Every big idea you read, talk it out. Explain things to yourself. Make lots of hand actions. Pace if it helps. Stress words with a funny accent. ____39____ No, crazy people don’t remember more, but the more senses and emotions involved, the more you’ll remember.

Whether or not your teacher gave you a study guide, you need to make your own to cram for an exam. ____40____ After just making the guide yourself, 80% of your work will be done. You’re cramming, so it doesn’t have to be neat. Only you have to be able to read it. Writing it out, reading as you go, involving all your senses.

A．Let go of the rest.

B．Catch every second to cram.

C．The crazier you look, the better.

D．Cramming is about finding a good rhythm (节奏).

E．Your teacher is a help to make a study guide.

F．It will sink a revision like an elephant in a row boat.

The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy (沮丧的) teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, ____46____ the happier ones earned ____47____ 30% more.

Happier teenagers have an easier time ____48____ school, college and the job interview, ____49____ because they always feel better about life. It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.

A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than _____50_____ in terms of workplace happiness. In August scientists announced that they had found the _____51_____ for happiness in women. Alas! The same gene doesn’t appear to have _____52_____effect on men.

第二节（满分25分）

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.

As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹)that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he had broken the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realised she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.

Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.

In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a box of chocolates out of a drawer and gave him one.

The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”___________

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now with some chocolates in his hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared._____________________________
