阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项.
Each of us struggles for self-respect and self-worth to some degree. I spent much time trying to achieve perfection in every aspect of my life.
I was a happy kid with a lot of friends and a supportive family. But growing up was really
36 and even scary sometimes.
During my childhood, I was constantly involved in something that included people’s viewing my achievements or my 37 . I wanted everyone’s praise and acceptance, but I was my own toughest critic(挑剔的人).
After I graduated from high school, my 38 to be “thin” began to trouble me. I began trying to diet by 39 my food.
In the beginning, I felt great—attractive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought that I was better than everyone else. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly 40 myself.
People around me began to 41 my weight loss. They said with concern. “You’re losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you’re so thin.” All their words only suggested that I was getting closer to “42 ” .
Sadly, I took my physical 43 the first important in my life, 44 that it was the way to become successful and accepted.
Then I cut down my 45 more and more, until a 46 day consisted of half a teaspoon of nonfat yoghurt and coffee in the morning, and a cup of grapes at night.
But my poor 47 began to cause me to lose 48 . Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn’t sleep, and my heart felt as though it might beat out of my chest. I tried to
49 , but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer
50 . What I had done to diet nearly caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really 51 , and I knew I needed help. My roommate rushed me to the52 , beginning the long road to my 53 . It took a lot—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, food supplements…
And most important, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality. I realized that, with my 54 of trying to be “perfect” on the 55 , I had sacrificed who I was on the inside. What I know now is, we are—each and every one of us—already perfect.
36．A. natural B. hard C. easy D. possible
37．A. natures B. backgrounds C. failures D. scores
38．A. problem B. desire C. way D. promise

43．A. strength B. exercise C. examination D. appearance
44．A. believing B. realizing C. pretending D. declaring
45．A. expense B. movement C. food D. travel
46．A. pleasant B. difficult C. different D. typical

Welcome to Oyster
Oyster is a smart card which can hold Pay as you go credit, Travelcard and Bus &
Tram(有轨电车) Pass season tickets. It is the cheapest way for you to pay for single
journeys on bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and most National Rail services in
London.
Pay as you go on your Oyster card
Using Pay as you go is cheaper than paying cash for most journeys.
Daily limit
If you’re unsure of the number of journeys you’re going to make, Oyster pay is easy for you to use. Make as many journeys as you like and you’ll never pay more than the daily limit for the zones you’ve travelled in. Daily limits are calculated over a 24-hour period, covering all the journeys starting between 4:30 and 4:29 the next day. There are different limits for different types of transport and times of day.
The system calculates the daily limit based on when and how you travel. Money will be taken away from your card each time you travel, until you reach a daily limit. This includes Pay as you go travel on bus, Tube, tram, London Overground and most National Rail services in London. River services and the Emirates Air Line do not contribute to your daily limit. For more information, visit https://www.doczj.com/doc/da16967951.html,/oyster.
Season tickets on your Oyster card
You can buy Travelcards and Bus & Tram Passes on Oyster. With a Travelcard, you can travel as many times as you like on bus, Tube, London Overground and National Rail services on the dates, and across the travel zones you’ve paid for. Please ensure your Travelcard covers all the zones you travel through. If your Travelcard includes zone 3, 4, 5 or 6, you can also use it on tram services. Bus & Tram Passes can be used on trams and London buses displaying the red roundel bus symbol on the dates you’ve paid for.The red roundel
When you first get an Oyster card, you will need to pay a ￡5 refundable (可退款的) deposit. If you no longer need your Oyster card, we’ll refund any remaining pay. Find out more at https://www.doczj.com/doc/da16967951.html,/refunds.

My morning routine varies little from day to day. I walk the dog, eat breakfast at the kitchen counter with Katie and Matt, and then settle in for a day at the computer. And because I work mostly from home, I have learned that little walks into the outside world are important for psychological well-being. So before I begin attempting to put sentences together, I walk over to a little coffee shop in my neighborhood, and chat with the folks behind the
counter.
The coffee shop is on the other side of the historic Chesapeaker & Ohio Canal from my house. Whenever in season, tourists line up to take a slow boat, if not to India, at least into the 19th century.
One warm day last fall, I turned the corner to see one of the boatmen sitting alone on the boat, bathed in early-morning light. He was playing the violin. The scene stopped me in my tracks. What I witnessed could only be described as a perfect moment. Ten seconds at most. But months later I still remember just standing there, watching, listening, and taking it all in.
We all have such moments put before us. Little surprises. Whether we’re wise enough to see them is another thing.
I thought of the violin man one Sunday afternoon while reading the biographies of those killed in the Columbia incident. The specialist Laurel Clark, talking from the shuttle a few days before it was to land, said it was blissful to see the simple unexpected wonders of space, like a sunset. “There’s a flash; the whole payload bay turns this rosy pink,” she said. “It only lasts about 15 seconds, and then it’s gone.”
I once had a friend who had a strange habit that never stopped to amuse me, maybe because I never quite knew when she was going to spring it on me. It could come in the middle of a particularly lively dinner with old friends. Out of the blue, she’d say, “Stop! I want to remember this moment.” I realize now, after her death, what wise advice that is.
59. The author goes out for a walk every day in the morning mainly because _____.
A. she needs to walk the dog and enjoy the fresh air
B. she considers that it is good for her physical health
C. she hates to be left alone at home when others are out
D. she benefits psychologically from contacting the outside world
60. The underlined word “blissful” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____.
A. enjoyable
B. valuable
C. agreeable
D. reasonable
61. The main purpose of the passage is to tell people to _____.
A. develop a good habit
B. enjoy life to the fullest
C. catch the valuable moments in life
D. be will ing to follow friends’ advice
62. “I” in the passage is probably a _____.
A. violinist
B. writer
C. sailor
D. waitress
C
A lot of us think that we should visit the dentist every six months. Whether those check-ups are really necessary is, however, a matter of debate. In 2000, three-quarters of dentists surveyed in New York were recommending six-monthly check-ups, despite the absence of evidence. Today, many organizations still recommend six-monthly check-ups. But for several decades some have been arguing that the choice of six months as the ideal space between visits is rather questionable. For example, Aubrey Sheiham, a professor of dental public health, published a paper complaining about the lack of evidence for six-monthly check-ups. Almost 40 years, he’s still making the same point.
Last year the Cochrane Collaboration performed a review of the research that had been done and they were disappointed with what they found. The quality and quantity of the research was simply too poor to back up the idea of six-monthly check-ups.
There’s something else we have to bear in mind. Even when a study finds, for example, that children who go to the dentist frequently have fewer fillings, there may be other factors(因素) at work. Those same children may have other advantages; they may eat more healthily and have better quality dental equipment.
How often should you visit the dentist, then? Bodies like Nice, which provides guidance for the National Health Service in England and Wales, say that the frequency of dental visits all depends on the individual. They recommend that children go at least once a year because their teeth can decay(蛀蚀) faster, while adults without problems can wait as long as two years. They even go as far as to say that longer than two years is OK for people who have shown commitment to caring for their teeth.
Where does this leave the rest of us the next time we receive a card in the mail reminding us our next dental visit is due? We’d all like an excuse to go less often, and the good news is that if you don’t have any problems you can probably wait a little longer than six months between visits. But exactly how long you can wait before your appointment with the dentist’s chair will depend on the assessment you and your dentist make of your own risk.
63. Who supports six-monthly dental check-ups?
A. All the dentists.
B. Many organizations.
C. Aubrey Sheiham.
D. The National Health Service.
64. The research may not prove the idea of six-monthly check-ups because _____.
A. the researchers were not qualified
B. the number of the subjects was big
C. there might be other factors at work
D. there was a lack of quality dental equipment
65. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that _____.
A. people often find excuses to avoid the next dental visit
B. the frequency of dental visits varies for different people
C. people should decide when to go to the dentist by themselves
D. the healthier a person is, the less frequent the dental visits are
66. What is the best title for this passage?
A. How can we go to the dentist less?
B. Why do we need to visit our dentist?
C. Who should go to the dentist frequently?
D. How often do we need to visit our dentist?
D
Do we really know our best friends?
I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously.
It’s generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships becau se we find their personalities agreeable, or similar to our own, and yet experience regularly contradicts this. What is a friend, really? All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again.
The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesn’t appear to lessen as a friendship
deepens. When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms, they found that, as time passed, people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other, and yet, in reality, the judgments grew no more accurate. Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other’s inner lives.
This seems strange, until you consider, that many of the benefits that friendship provides don’t necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. Friendship may be less about being drawn to someone’s personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company, or lend an ear. A friend provides the “social-identity support” we desire. You needn’t be a close match with someone, nor deeply familiar with their mind. And once a friendship has begun, you want to like it, if only to confirm that you made the right decision. We don’t want to know everything about our friends. We don’t base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people, and what to ignore, based on having decided to be friends.
Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship. Perhaps
a true friend is someone who doesn’t ask many awkward questions.
67. Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph?
A. To provide background information.
B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To stress the importance of friendship.
D. To show the difference between friends.
68. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.
A. friends
B. judgments
C. researchers
D. benefits
69. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.
A. close friends usually know each other in depth
B. real friends are people you like but don’t wish to see often
C. we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends
D. the longer we stay with friends, the more accurately we judge them
70. Which statement about friends will the author probably accept?
A. Stay friends but keep a distance.
B. It takes a long time to grow an old friend.
C. Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
D. True friends know all about you and still like you. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Real-life Room Escape Games
Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles, find clues (线索), and escape the room within a set time limit.
The games are based off Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape. 71 Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan, and China. 72For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.
73 Soon, they were exported to North America, Asia and Australia.Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms.
The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small, according to Want China Times. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape game location opened last August. 74“These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and iPads all day to experience real social circles,” Tian Xiaochuan, who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan, told Want China Times.
Earlier this year, The South China Morning Po s t said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed studen ts and overworked young professionals.” 75Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of Beijing room escape game store Taoquan told China Daily.
A. Each game adds local themes to settings.
B. And seven new game locations quickly followed.
C. They should also be brave enough to face their fears.
D. Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.
E. Weekend or day event escape games have been held in some stores.
F. Permanent real life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.
G. Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room.

After lunch on Friday, we crowded onto the sports field. I was amazed at the number and variety of the clubs: the Cartoon Club, the Guitar Club, the Basketball Club and so on. It was not easy to make a choice. But I decided to join the Basketball Club, because I love sports. I signed up and so did some other students who shared my interest. In the end, we took a picture together, smiling and happy as if we had been friends for a long time.
I believe my school life will be more interesting because of basketball and new friends.
