A The following list includes some books that come highly recommended by millions of readers and also a short summary of the highlights of each work.The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David MannI didn’t even expect that such a short book could make a huge difference in my way towards life. It simply explains complex laws that direct mankind, and concludes that there is always truth in the opposite. Dao De Jing、by Lao Zi Dao De Jing is one of the finest books on philosophy written by Lao Zi, an ancient Chinese philosopher and poet. It is sincere, exciting and makes you think a lot. Read it and get in touch with the clear educative understandings that give you enough tips to pursue your life goal full of passion.The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. WattlesI had my own misunderstandings of getting rich till I read this book. The book made a huge difference to my life after Idiscovered the secrets mentioned. Read it and it teaches you how to become rich, not immediately, but step by step.The Power of Habit, by Charles DuhiggI never knew habits played such an important role in shaping our future until I read this book. It says, you are what your habits are, and also suggests the proven techniques to create new habits that change our lifestyles and eventually our lives. It is a must-read for everyone who wishes to form lifetime habits.The Road Less Travelled, by Scott PeckSimply put. Buy this book for the path towards understanding in a spiritual way that strengthens your personal growth. This book never gives you easy solutions to the challenges of life; it simply says, “Real suffering is part of life.” and leaves you with better understanding to lead a fulfilled life.21. Which book can help you chase your dream passionately?A. Dao De The Go-Giver.D. The Road Less The Science of Getting Rich.22. Who can tell you the secrets of becoming rich?A. Lao Scott Peck.C. Charles WallaceD. Wattles.23. Which of the following ideas may Scott Peck agree with?A. Habits can shape our There is always truth in the opposite.C. Difficulty is often part of personal We should find easy solutions to challenges.24. What can we know about the books mentioned above?A. They are all easily They are all popular books.C. All their writers are All the books are about life goals.B Much information can be clearly conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. If he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.It is the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry about others’stare at you that way. Eyes do convey information, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude andaggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze(注视），his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.In fact, continuous eye contact happens between lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show love that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.25. What may a person usually do on a bus?A. Glance at a stranger with eye Use eyes to talk to astranger politely.C. Glance at a stranger without eye Talk to a stranger politely after a quick glance.26. What does it mean if a man looks at a woman for over10 seconds?A. He likes her He admires her.C. He knows her He makes contact with her.27. Why is a poor liar easy to be seen through?A. He thinks that he is He wants to control the victim.C. He feels uneasy about others’ eye He looks straight at the victim for too long a time. 28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Eyes Can SpeakB. Eye Contact MattersC. Don’t Stare at OthersD. Use Your Eye ContactCChildren can make some pretty big statements and grand promises. An 8-year-old boy who promised to get his dad his dream car was no exception — but then he actually fulfilled his promise.A Reddit (红迪网）user going by the username Belairboy wrote that when he was 8 years old, he told his dad he would buy him a 1957 Chevrolet (雪佛兰)Bel Air on his 57th birthday.“He grew up poor in a family of seven children. He never thought he would be able to own his dream vehicle but would talk about it all the time.” Belairboy wrote.Then the day came.He tricked his father to look in the garage while the older man was trying to fix a corn-hole board. When the dad finally looked up from his project and his son said “Happy birthday!”，all the father could say in a trembling tone was “No” as he tearfully went in for a hug.“Oh my God. Oh my God! This is real! This is real!” the father said as he climbed into the driver’s seat. “You，re kidding me. This is spotless, man.”Later, Belairboy said that he had kept a close eye on the car for two years to make the promise come true.“We would talk about older vehicles so as to make sure how much he would enjoy it. I would show him pictures of it from the listing I found, unknown to him that it would actually be his one day,” Belairboy wrote. “He would get so excite d and talk about owning something that he knew he never would be able to.”29. Why did the father say “No” when seeing his birthday present?A. He didn’t know what He wanted to hug his dear son first.C. He was too excited to say anything He knew little about this type of vehicle.30. What did the father think of his dream car at first?A. He wouldn’t like it at He would own one some day.C. His son would buy one for He would never have it in his life.31. Which of the following can best describe Belairboy?A. He is worth He is warm-hearted.C. He is He is hardworking.DMany Beijing residents go to great lengths to avoid breathing the city’s smoggy air, especially when it reaches critical pollution levels, but one local businessman decided that canning and selling this poor quality air as a souvenir would be a great idea. Believe it or not, he was right.After seeing a number of companies achieve commercial success by canning fresh air from countries like France, Canada or Australia and selling it in China, Dominic Johnson-Hill, a British-born citizen of Beijing and owner of the Plastered 8 (创可贴8 ) souvenir shop, decided to turn the idea on its head andsell canned Beijing air throughout China and abroad.“I，d seen people going crazy to buy canned air from Canada and Australia, so I thought it was time to push business the other way,” the businessman said. “They’re perfect gifts! What else are you going to take home when you go home from Beijing? A roast duck? A Plastered T-shirt? These cans are light, easily carried home. You can just imagine someone’s face when they unwrap it for Christmas.”The few mouth-fulls of Beijing air come in standard tin cans featuring a couple of famous city landmarks as well as a bit ter description of the contents: “a unique mix of nitrogen (氮气），oxygen and probably some unknown stuff，. The ironic (讽刺的）souvenirs cost 28 RMB (US$4 ) and are available at the Plastered 8 shop, as well as in its online shop. But if you’re actually considering buying some, you，d better ask the shop in advance, as they are always flying off the shelves. Johnson-Hill said that his shop is selling hundreds of Beijing air cans every day.Personally, the well-sold can probably is an awakening for the public to be concerned about the living conditions. Yet one thing that’s not particularly clear is whether the air is really collected from Beijing, because the cans are labeled as “Made inShenzhen”. There’s a big chance that it is just a kind of “Plastered 8 humor”，as they also list “Choking Risk” and “May have unidentified objects inside” as warnings.Anyway, it is probably a unique way to arouse public awareness of protecting the environment.32. What are many people in Beijing likely to do with the smoggy air?A. Try to get used to Can it as a souvenir.C. Sell it all over the Try their best to avoid it.33. How may one feel when receiving canned Beijing air for Christmas?A. Surprised.C. Refreshed. 34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “stuff，in Paragraph 4?A. liquidsB. objectsC. mineralsD. risks35. What can we infer from the passage?A. There are unidentified objects in the canned Beijing air.B. The Plastered 8 souvenir shop is famous for its humour.C. The writer may expect us to care more about the environment.D. Dominic Johnson-Hill is a British man who lives inBeijing.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。

The newcomers gave thanks for a good harvest that would help them survive the coming winter. Since then, Thanksgiving Day has become a time for American and Canadian families to gather and express appreciation for the blessings in their lives. However, research into gratitude has shown that being thankful all year, not just on one day, benefits our health.Studies show that people who express gratitude have a happier outlook on life, lower their blood pressure, sleep better and are less affected by pain. In addition, g ratitude’s positive effects are long-lasting. Canadian researchers found that people who wrote thank-you letters or performed good deeds for a six-week period improved their mental health, felt more energetic and accomplished more daily tasks for up to six months.Another way to practice thankfulness is keeping gratitude journals, where people write down a set number of things that they are grateful for each day. A 2013 study of nearly 1000 Swiss adults aged 19-84 found that those who kept such journals reported fewer aches and pains three weeks later. Interestingly, the experimenters found that the effects of gratitude were stronger with older adults than with people in their twenties.Because gratitude is a fairly new field of study, researchers are still trying to identify its cause-and-effect relationship with various health benefits. Alex Wood, a Scottish professor of psychology, gives the example of sleep. Scientists know that people who have higher levels of gratitude also report sleeping better. Nevertheless, it’s unclear whether being thankful leads to better sleep, or vice versa. According to Wood, it might even be some third factor that causes both gratitude and improved sleep.Gratitude can benefit people at all stages of life. Swedish researchers have found that people aged 77 to 90 who use daily reflection to appreciate what they have are less likely to worry that they may become unable to take care of themselves. Helena Horder, one of th e study’s authors, describes how gratitude allows the elderly to focus on the positive in their lives now—still being mobile, alive, and independent. She wonders if such thankfulness for the present gives them confidence for the future.Despite the growing number of studies that link gratitude with physical and psychological well-being, there are worries that our current lifestyle does not suit a thankful attitude. Today, many busy people don’t pause and take time to appreciate what they have, much less exp ress gratitude to others. In addition, advertising and social media push people, especially the younger generation, to value self-satisfaction. As a result, says Tamiko Zablith of the consulting firm Minding Manners, young people begin seeing themselves as the centre of the universe. If it’s all about us, what need is there to thank others?According to the research, the need lies in our physical and mental health. So whether you send a thank-you email, keep a gratitude journal, or simply say “Thanks”, reme mber that gratitude benefits both giver and receiver, especially in terms of a positive outlook.Choose the one best alternative from the four options A, B, C, and D.
