Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.Green said, “Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Look over the countryside and y ou will see that I am in the majority.”Blue interrupted, “You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life.”Yellow chuckled. “The sun is yellow, as well as the moon and the stars. Every time yo u look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile.”Red could bear it no longer. “I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood-life’s blood! I am the color of danger and bravery. I bring fire into the blood. I am the color of passion and love.”Purple s tood at his full height. “I am the color of royalty and power. I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”Finally Indigo spoke with determination, “Think of me and I am the color of silence. I represent thought and reflection. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace.”The colors went on boasting, each showing off his or her own advantages.Suddenly there came a flash of bright lightening. Thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down. The colors were scared to death.In the midst of the quarrelling, rain began to speak, “You foolish colors. Don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different?

AMy First MarathonA month before my first marathon,one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks,leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet,I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class,the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.The idea that I was “not athletic”stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s,I realized running was a battle against myself,not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!The night before my marathon,I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous,but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line,my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3,I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT,RUNNERS!”By mile 17,I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain,I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21,I was starving!As I approached mile 23,I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact,I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself,move forward,free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签),I can nowcall myself a “marathon winner”.21. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.A. was well trainedB. felt scaredC. made up his mind to runD. lost hope22. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.C. To show he was not talented in sports.D. To share a precious memory.23. How was the author’s first marathon?A. He made it.B. He quit halfway.C. He got the first prize.D. He walked to the end.24. What does the story mainly tell us?A. A man owes his success to his family support.B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.C. Failure is the mother of success.D. One is never too old to learn.BIn the 1760s,Mathurin Roze opened a series of shops that boasted（享有）a special meat soup called consomme. Although the main attraction was the soup,Roze’s chain shops also set a new standard for dining out,which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant.Today,scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants. Take visual hints that influence what we eat: diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta（意大利面食）when their plates matched their food. When a dark-colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one,customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty.Lighting matters,too. When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness,they couldn’t tell how much they’d had: those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else,but were none the wiser——they didn’t feel fuller,and they were just as ready for dessert. Time is money,but that principle means different things for different types of restaurants. Unlike fast-food places,fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and spend. One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round: put on some Mozart(莫扎特). When classical,rather than pop,music was playing,diners spent more. Fast music hurried diners out. Particular scents also have an effect: dinerswho got the scent of lavender（薰衣草）stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon,or no scent.Meanwhile,things that you might expect to discourage spending——“bad”tables,crowding,high prices——don’t necessarily. Diners at bad tables——next to the kitchen door,say——spent nearly as much as others but soon fled. It can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not “be overly concerned about ‘bad’ tables,”given that they’re profitable. As for crowds,a Hong Kong study found that they increased a restaurant’s re putation,suggesting great food at fair prices. And doubling a buffet’s price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier.25. The underlined phrase “none the wiser”in paragraph 3 most probably implies that the customers were .A. not aware of eating more than usualB. not willing to share food with othersC. not conscious of the food qualityD. not fond of the food provided26. How could a fine dining shop make more profit?A. Playing classical music.B. Introducing lemon scent.C. Making the light brighter.D. Using plates of larger size.27. What does the last paragraph talk about?A. Tips to attract more customers.B. Problems restaurants are faced with.C. Ways to improve restaurants’ reputation.D. Common misunderstandings about restaurantCAlison Malmon was completing the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania,US,when she got the news: Her older brother Brian,a student at Columbia University,was suffering from mental illness.Influenced by this,Malmon formed a group at her university to enable students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that today’s young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,”said Malmon,“and a need to present oneself as perfect.”And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of today’s society. In the study,two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US,Canada,and the UK. They found that what they called “socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism”increased by a third between 1989 and 2016.Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of today’s young people try to presenta perfect appearance online,social media isn’t the only reason behind this trend. Instead,he said,it may be driven by competition in modern society,meaning young people can’t avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students,standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.For example,in 1976,half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008,more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children,they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties”onto their kids through “excessive (过多的) involvement in their child’s routines,activities or emotions.”Those in the mental health community like Malmon say they’re concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generation’s social justice issue,”she said. “It’s our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that it’s not their fault.”28．What is the article mainly about?A．The effects of the culture of perfectionism.B．Research into the trend of perfectionism.C．A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.D．Various pressures that today’s young people are facing.29．What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?A．Her brother’s mental illness.B．Her project during the freshman year.C．The pressure she had experienced.D．Her strong interest in mental health.30．What may be pushing today’s young people to struggle to be perfect,according to the article?a. The impact of social media.b. Parents’high expectations of their children.c. The decreasing number of college students.d. The fierce competition in society.e. Their desire to draw their parents’attention.A．a,b,c B．a,d,eC．a,b,d D．b,c,e31．What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism?A．Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.B．Lowering their expectations of themselves.C．Reducing parents’involvement in their children’s life.D．Making them aware of what true social justice is.DIn 2007,a small team of Amazon employees had been working for a few years on a new e-book reader project called Kindle. It’s now been a decade since Amazon unveiled the first Kindle to the world,selling out its initial inventory in less than six hours. Since then,the device has torn through the publishing industry. “Kindle”has become a platform,not a device. It entered the market and completely took up it.The Kindle team always has two goals: to perfectly imitate a paper book,and to extend and improve the reading experience. That’s what readers want,too. In a world filled with distractions and notifications and devices that do everything,the Kindle’s lack of features becomes its greatest benefit.But readers also want to read everywhere,in places and ways a paperback can’t manage. They want more tools,more features,more options,more stuff to do. Amazon’s still working out how to satisfy both sides. Whatever route it takes,the next decade of Kindle is likely to be even more disruptive than the last. First it changed the book business. Next it might help change books themselves.For a decade,Amazon’s constantly offered new ways for people t o read books. But as platforms change,books haven’t,and the incompatibility(不相容) is beginning to show.The next phase for the digital book seems likely to not resemble print at all. Instead,the next step is for authors,publisher,and readers to take advantage of all the tools available now and figure out how to reinvent reading. Amazon and the book world are beginning to figure out what’s possible.Future users might flip between reading and listening with the touch of a button,ask a digital assistant for more information on the plot or the feelings of the characters,texting with characters themselves,going to important real-world locations to start a chapter or find a clue and even helping write the narrative.32．What is the biggest advantage of the Kindle?A．Reading experience.B．Books themselves.C．Simple features.D．Many functions.33．According to the underlined part,the next decade of Kindle is likely to____________ A．Cause more changes.B．Destroy the book world.C．Kill print books.D．Fail to sati sfy readers’ needs.34．What will the Kindle team probably do next?A．They will imitate a paper book.B．They will invent more functions.C．They will change book business.D．They will explore new reading experience around books.35．Among all the future readers might do,which one of the following isn’t mentioned in the last paragraph?A．write a story.B．switch from reading to listening.C．chat with characters.D．watch a video about the plot.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。

A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________.
