Think about what major you want to study in college. If you know that, just look at colleges that have your major________So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one.
Where the college is located matters. Anyone who tells you the location isn't important is lying________If you look forward to working in the publishing industry, New York may be your best bet. If your parents want you to stay close to home, please don't consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to.
Think about how much you can afford. Are your parents paying for your education? If so, how much are they willing to spend? Do you have to contribute anything? Financial aid and scholarships exist, but don't count on anything.________These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college.
Make sure you're going to spend time with the right people. The cool thing about college is that each different one attracts different kinds of people. For the first thing in your life, you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with.________Make sure that the people you're with for four years are your kind of people.
A. College is about learning what you love.

F. If you don't like cold weather, stay away from northern schools.
G. These guidelines will help figure out what college you want to go to.
【答案】G；A；F；E；D
【解析】【分析】本文主要就如何选对一所好大学提出了四条建议。
(1)根据上文“你应该对你想要的和不想要的有一个大致的了解。这个想法可以指导你找到最适合你的需求。”而下文讲述的是一些指导方针，故G项“这些指导方针有助于弄清楚你想上哪所大学。”承上启下，故答案为G。
(2)根据下文“所以在选择一个专业之前，要仔细考虑你的专业和兴趣。”可推知，A项“大学就是学习你所喜欢的。”符合语境，下一句是对A项的进一步说明，故答案为A。
(3)根据上句：告诉你地点不重要的人在说谎。再根据空格下句：如果你期盼在出版业工作，纽约可能是你最好的地方。空格处的内容应该与地点有关，只有F项“如果你不喜欢冷的天气，就远离北方的学校。”符合语境，故答案为F。
(4)根据本段都是讲钱的事，上句“经济援助和奖学金存在，但不要指望任何东西。”，下句“在你爱上一所大学之前，这些都是需要考虑的事情。”，与钱有关的只有E项Are you willing to go into major debt over a school?（你愿意为学校负债吗？）符合语境，故答案为
E。
(5)本段讲述的是“确保你会花时间和合适的人在一起。”，空格上一句说“对于你生命中的第一件事，你可以选择在哪里度过你的时间，以及你将与谁共度。”故D项“记住，最重要的是，是人制造了场所。”符合本段语境，都是讲与合适的人待一起。故答案为D。
【点评】做此类题时，可以快速浏览备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合在文章中的什么位置，标题，段首，段中，段尾。不同的位置的句子有不同特征，有时候有的答案表述上就是错误。
2．阅读下列短文，按照要求用英文回答问题。
After we all came to the conclusion that our family could responsibly care for dog; my husband and I started our search at a local animal shelter.
We discovered a medium-sized male dog named Duke. This dog was a approximately only two years old and seemed to have the sweetest character. He looked at us through intelligent eyes and already knew how to fetch a ball. My husband and I immediately adopted him Duke quickly fit into our family's lifestyle. And he quickly learned the tricks like "sit", and "come".
But there was one skill that Duke could not seem to grasp---that of a watchdog. My husband was trying to teach him to remind us by giving a single warning bark when someone came into the yard. Duke would listen carefully to my husband's commands, but would cock （竖起）his head to one side in confusion and disappointment as if to tell his master that he just didn't understand what my husband was asking him to do. My husband would give his "watch" command. Duke would stand up---muscles tightened in readiness, but would not have a clue as to what he was in readiness for.
One morning we heard the garbage collectors come up the driveway to get our garbage.
My husband went to the open bedroom window so Duke could hear and see the men through the screen.
"Watch" my husband commanded. Duke rose in readiness, looked at my husband as sudden comprehension dawned on him, gave a quick tail wave, and leaped through the window screen jumping happily out to greet the garbage men.
Seeing that, I couldn't help laughing. My laughter did nothing for my husbands mood when he found what was happening and he just went away to repair the screen with no expression on his face.
Duke brought our family so much fun. We never scolded or beat him. He was one of our family members.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者收养宠物狗Duke以后所发生的故事。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“We discovered a medium-sized male dog named Duke. This dog was approximately only two years old and seemed to have the sweetest character. He looked at us through intelligent eyes and already knew how to fetch a ball.”可知，当作者收养Duke时，他中等大小的身材、年轻、可爱且聪明。故答案为It was medium-sized，young， sweet and intelligent.
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“And he quickly learned the tricks like ‘sit’，‘stay’，and ‘come’”.和第三段中的“But there was one skill that Duke could not seem to grasp — that of a watchdog.”可知，Duke被作者的家庭收养后学会了“sit”，“stay”，“come” 和“be a watchdog”，故答案为Duke learned how to “sit”，“stay”，“come” and “be a watchdog”.
（3）考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的“gave a quick tail wave, and leaped through the window screen, jumping happily out to greet the garbage men.”它很快地摇了摇尾巴，从窗玻璃里跳出来，高兴地跳出来迎接收垃圾的人。可知，Duke突然明白了主人的命令/意图/想法。故答案为Suddenly Duke understood his master's command/intention/thoughts.
（4）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“Seeing that, I couldn't help laughing. My laughter did nothing for my husband's mood when he found what was happening and he just went away to repair the screen with no expression on his face.”看到这，我忍不住笑了。当我丈夫发现发生的事情时，我的笑声并没有影响他的情绪，他只是离开去修理屏幕，脸上没有任何表情。可知，Duke从窗户跳出来时作者被逗乐了，而她的丈夫对此却感到很平静。故答案为The author was amused while her husband felt calm about it.
（5）开放性试题。如何对待宠物？我认为人们应该爱他们的宠物，和他们一起玩，而不是虐待他们。
或者:我认为人们应该爱他们的宠物，把他们当作家庭成员。故答案为I think people should love their pets and have fun with them, instead of abusing them.Or: I think people should love their pets and treat them as the family members.

5．Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The art of academic writing is not easy to master. ________ Academic writing is the skilful exposition and explanation of an argument, which the writer has carefully researched and developed over a sustained period of time. ________ But the joy of reading and sharing with others, one's succinctly composed piece of argument, is incomparable.
Before beginning to write, the writer must ask himself a few questions – Why am I writing? What is it that I intend to share with others? What purpose will my writing serve? Have I read enough about the topic or theme about which I am going to write? ________ Because academic writing is a serious activity – it makes one part of a shared community of readers and writers who wish to disseminate and learn from well-argued pieces of writing.
The structure of an argumentative essay should take the form of – Introduction (which should be around ten percent of the entire essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece) and the Conclusion (again, ten per cent of the essay). ________ The body should include cogent and coherently linked paragraphs and the conclusion should re-state the argument and offer a substantial ending to the piece.
A. These questions may well get clearer and clearer during the process of academic writing.
B. The introduction should function as the hook which draws the reader in and holds his attention.
C. It is a formal skill, which requires precision and accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and dedicated practice.

I stood at the edge of the cliff. The wind stung my eyes, cutting into my skin. Dark-feathered birds circled the air, swooping (俯冲) low over the ocean every now and then to catch their dinner. Hundreds of feet below, the deep ocean beat against the rough sandy shore. I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with excitement — and at the same time, fear.
Behind me, I heard the rest of the crew start to mutter. I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the lead actors in the film Dangerous Things, and this scene was right in the middle of the climax (故事的高潮). It was vital that this went right.
The director had talked to me about getting a stunt double (替身演员), but I'd persuaded him that I could handle the dive. I'd taken a diving course a few years ago, and I'd been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old. I had been pretty confident that I could do this — up till now.
Someo ne called out, “Ceria, you don't have to do this! Are you sure you want to dive?” It was one of the producers, Callie Evans. I knew I couldn't turn back now. I couldn't bear to see the disappointed look on the director's face when he was told that I couldn't do it.
At that moment, all my fears and worries broke free. The expectation of adventure and victory seemed to move all the hesitation. I swooped downwards. The air on either side of me cut into my extended arms. I knew that this wonderful feeling of flight would only last a few seconds, yet time seemed to slow down so I could hear the thrilled whoops of my crew and a round of applause that seemed to echo in my pounding ears.
（1）At the beginning, how did the author feel about what she was going to do?(No more than 3 words)
（2）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean in English?(No more than 15 words)
（3）Why was the author that confident in diving? (No more than 10 words)
（4）What was the crew's reaction while the author was diving down? (No more than 10 words) （5）How do you like the author? Please explain why. (No more than 25 words)
【答案】（1）She felt excited and frightened / fearful.
（2）It was important that the scene was properly shot.
Or: (Because it was the climax of the movie), the dive must perform successfully / well.
（3）Because she had taken diving and swimming courses.
（4）The crew cheered loudly for her.
（5）I think the author was brave and confident, because she could overcome the fear to challenge herself and enjoy success.
Or: I think she was brave because she didn't chicken out when facing challenges.

（1）根据第一段中的I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with excitement — and at the same time, fear.（我深深地吸了一口气，肺里充满了兴奋——同时也充满了恐惧）可知，一开始，作者对她将要做的事情感觉既兴奋又害怕。考虑字数限制，故答She felt excited and frightened / fearful。
（2）根据第二段中的I was here for the shooting of a movie as I was one of the lead actors in the film Dangerous Things, and this scene was right in the middle of the climax.（我在这里拍摄一部电影，因为我是电影《危险的事情》的主角之一，而这个场景正好处于高潮的中间）可知，因为这个场景正好处于高潮的中间，因此拍好这个场景是至关重要。考虑字数限制，故答It was important that the scene was properly shot. Or: (Because it was the climax of the movie), the dive must perform successfully / well。
（3）根据第三段中的I'd taken a diving course a few years ago, and I'd been taking swimming lessons since I was five years old.（几年前我上过潜水课，从五岁起我就一直在上游泳课）可知，作者对潜水很有信心是因为她学过潜水和游泳课程。考虑字数限制，故答Because she had taken diving and swimming courses。
（4）根据最后一段中的I could hear the thrilled whoops of my crew and a round of applause （我能听到团队成员们激动的呼喊和掌声）可知，当作者潜水时，团队成员们激动的呼喊和鼓掌。考虑字数限制，故答The crew cheered loudly for her。
（5）本题是开放性题目。首先要表明立场，然后解释原因。通读原文可知，作者是勇敢和自信的，因为她面对挑战时她没有退缩，克服恐惧，挑战自己，享受成功。考虑字数限制，故答I think the author was brave and confident, because she could overcome the fear to challenge herself and enjoy success. Or: I think she was brave because she didn't chicken out when facing challenges.

7．阅读下面材料，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
The autumn wind woke me up from my dream. I took a deep breath and looked around. Suddenly I saw two people approaching me. As there was no one else in the park, they caught my attention immediately.
The two people were getting closer and I heard them laughing. At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts. But all of a sudden, I noticed the age of them — they were old. I could not clearly identify their age, but the woman looked as old as my grandmother. She had grey hair, blue eyes, and a smile on her face. And all the time she was looking at HIM...
"Jim, I think we should change the park. It's the same every Saturday. You know..." "Sus! Hug me."— that was all he said. He looked at her, smiled and gave her a hug.
At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be complaining, he loved her! I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other. And the one that outlives will think the life they spent together was the most beautiful period of their life.
They left, and I was sitting on my bench, shocked, and I had a special feeling in my heart. This
feeling was hope! The old couple with all the complaints and tons of mistakes behind their backs made me realize that it was happiness that mattered in life. Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had dedicated your life to. I made a wish — waking up one day, being old and feeling proud of being together with the person I loved to overcome all the obstacles ( 障碍) and fight for happiness.
（1）Why did the author become angry at the old couple's laugh? (no more than 15 words) （2）Why did the old couple look at each other all the time? (no more than 10 words)
（3）What was the author doing at that moment in Paragraph 4? (no more than 20 words) （4）What does the underlined word "dedicated" mean in the last paragraph? (1 word)
（5）How do you like the old couple? What can you learn from the passage? Please express it in your own words. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】（1）Because it had broken his unity with the park and disturbed his thoughts.
（2）Because they loved each other deeply.
（3）The author was wondering what made the old couple love each other so much/The author was imagining what the old couple might have gone through in life and made them love each other deeply.
（4）Devoted/ Give entirely.
（5）I think they are admirable/ encouraging/ a good example for us!We should cherish people who love us and fight for happiness with them together.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过记叙公园的一对彼此深爱的老夫妻而引发了自己对于追求幸福，克服所有障碍和自己爱的人在一起的感悟。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts.”可知作者对那对老夫妇的笑声感到生气，因为它们破坏了作者与这个公园的统一，扰乱了他的思绪。故填Because it had broken his unity with the park and disturbed his thoughts.。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be complaining, he loved her!”可知这对老夫妇总是互相看着对方是因为他们很爱彼此。故填Because they loved each other deeply.。（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other.”可知作者想象着他们可能一起经历的许多事情——那么多的困难可能会让他们哭泣，他们现在可能正在经历的所有问题，以及他们其中一个活得比另一个更长的可能性。即作者是在思考是什么使这对老夫妇如此相爱。故填The author was wondering what made the old couple love each other so much.或The author was imagining what the old couple might have gone through in life and made them love each other deeply.
（4）考查词义猜测。根据上文“Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had”可知最终，所有的人都会变老并死去，而真正起作用的是和你相伴一生的人，你为之奉献一生的人。故可推测划线部分单词意思为"奉献"。故填Devoted/ Give entirely.。
（5）本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可。故填I think they are admirable/ encouraging/ a good example for us!（我认为他们是值得钦佩的/鼓舞的/为我们树立了一个好榜样!）或We should cherish people who love us and fight for happiness with them together.（我们应该珍惜爱我们的人，和他们一起为幸福而奋斗。）

8．概要写作，阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it's better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done.
The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action in a hurry, they can't make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, 'Haste makes waste.' We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly.
Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying our lives.
Finally, slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. But being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter.
In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. Yet, much stress can't bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace.
【答案】 Despite being accustomed to the fast pace in modern society, people are recommended to lead a slower life. Firstly, slowing down lowers the possibility of committing errors by comprehensive thinking. Secondly, more opportunities to enjoy life are allowed by a slower pace.

9．请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格里填上一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Asthma(哮喘) is a long-lasting breathing disease that affects millions of Americans, many of whom are children. People who get asthma will suffer from lack of breath, difficulty in breathing or coughing--which are caused by the tightening of the muscles in airways. Untreated asthma can lead to poor lung function and death, but asthma can also be effectively controlled with proper treatments.
Research is discovering genes that contribute to the development of asthma. This development has pointed researchers to the role of indoor and outdoor pollution as environmental factors that contribute to the increased occurrence of asthma.
The Indoor Pollution
Indoor pollution has increased with the developments in building materials and in heating and air conditioning systems. In addition to poisonous gases that come from paint, other materials like dust and perfumes used in household products such as washing powder are recycled continuously through the house, winter and summer.
Unlike the days before central heating or before whole-house air conditioning, these materials and chemicals cannot get out of modern homes. Most often, they cause breathing problems in the members of the family with the least-developed autoimmune(自身免疫的) systems. Proper venting (通风) and use of environmentally-friendly building materials and carpeting can help reduce the presence of these chemicals.
The Out door pollution
Researchers have also established outdoor pollution's role as a probable cause of asthma. Asthma has been proven to result from some fuel products. Smog and the small matters carried by it have been recognized as a factor which leads to asthma since the 19th century when London saw more and more diseases in the industrial population. Industrial pollutants and other chemicals which are produced in water treatment and open treated water like that found in the swimming pools also contribute to increased cases of asthma as well as other illnesses.
Those most affected by the increase of industrial and environmental pollution are children. Although much has been done to control the levels of pollution in the US, there still remains much to do as it is a worldwide phenomenon. Until an international effort can be made to limit carbon emissions, the occurrence of environmental asthma will probably continue to increase.

Make the right choices
What is life's greatest gift?________Choice is the ability to select one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt (雕刻)our life. The tool doesn't come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.________The reward is happiness.
Life is not still. It is a flow.________We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.
________And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.
All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. The pleasure is in the playing. Life is like a chess game.________
A. It is free will or choice
B. You have to make choices every day
C. Make the best moves you can under the circumstances
D. But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return
E. Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals
F. Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they get
G. Choose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to
【答案】A；D；E；B；C
【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了每个人每天都要面临各种各样的选择。正确的选择究竟会给我们的人生带来些什么呢？
(1)本空前有问句，空后出现choice这一关键词，A选项既回答上文问题又引出了下文choice的概念，随后下文承接该话题继续展开。故答案为A。
(2)其一，该项中carry out it中it指代的是上句中的responsibility；其二，虽然选择意味着
责任，但是同时又会给我们带来巨大的回报，故答案为D。
(3)E选项是对上文的not still 和a flow的进一步解释。另外，其中leads us与下文monitor 相呼应，且E选项中的closer to or farther from our goals与下文的Am I moving closer to my goal? to readjust myself with my goals吻合。故答案为E。
(4)其一，“因为每天都在选择，而使生活变得更加舒适和方便”。其二，该空的后文举例说明前文的观点，故该空具有概括意义。故答案为B。
(5)上文叙述“生活就像下棋”，下文“要走出特定环境下最好的一步棋”，前后为顺接关系，故答案为C。
【点评】做此类题时，注意分析篇章结构，找出各段的主题句或主旨大意。分析段落内部的层次，即语篇层次，体会句与句之间的意义关系，把握作者思路，从语序上发现断续点，理清层次。
11．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。
Parents often say that they don't mind what their children do in life just as long as they are happy. Happiness and pleasure are almost universally seen as among the most precious human goods.________Philosopher Jeremy Bentham believed that all sources of pleasure are of equal quality, but John Stuart Mill disagreed. Mill argued for a difference between higher and lower pleasure.________Lower pleasure, in contrast, requires mere (仅仅的；纯粹的) senses.
The entire debate assumes a clear divide between the physical and the mental.________What will it mean for our ideas about pleasure?
________Food is usually considered to be the lower pleasure. All animals eat, using the senses of smell and taste. It doesn't require any complex cognition (认知) to conclude that something is delicious. However, these people failed to appreciate something that the French food writer Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin captured. That is, "Animals feed; man eats; only the man of intellect(才智) knows how to eat."
Eating shows that the difference between higher pleasure and lower pleasure is not what you enjoy but how you enjoy it.________Preparing it using the powers of reflection and attention turns it into a higher pleasure.
A. The dining table is a good place to start.
B. Wolfing down your food is a lower kind of pleasure.
C. What's the real difference between high and low pleasure?
D. What happens if the physical and the mental cannot be separated?
E. All philosophers believed that cookery could never be a form of art.
F. Higher pleasure depends on human abilities such as self-awareness or language use.
G. However, disagreements will be caused about whether some forms of pleasure are better than others.
【答案】 G；F；D；A；B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，幸福和快乐几乎被普遍认为是人类最宝贵的财富之一。然而，关于某些形式的快乐是否比其他形式的好，会产生分歧。John Stuart Mill认为
快乐的高低是有区别的。且以就餐为例，指出吃表明高快乐和低快乐的区别不是你喜欢什么，而是你如何享受它。狼吞虎咽是一种低级乐趣，但是用心准备它就能将低级乐趣转变为高级乐趣。
（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Philosopher Jeremy Bentham believed that all sources of pleasure are of equal quality, but John Stuart Mill disagreed.”可知Jeremy Bentham认为所有快乐的来源都是平等的，但是John Stuart Mill不同意。可知关于某些形式的快乐是否比其他形式的好，存在分歧。故选G。
（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Mil l argued for a difference between higher and lower pleasure.”密尔认为快乐的高低是有区别的。与下文提到了lower pleasure，即可知本句应是说明了higher pleasure。故F. Higher pleasure depends on human abilities such as self-awareness or language use.“更高的快乐取决于人类的能力，如自我意识或语言使用”。惩戒上下文符合语境，故选F。
（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“The entire debate assumes a clear divide between the physical and the mental.”整个辩论在生理和心理上有明显的分歧。其中physical and the mental可对应到D选项中the physical and the mental，意思为：如果身体和精神不能分开会发生什么?故选D。
（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Food is usually considered to be the lower pleasure.”可知提到了food，故A. The dining table is a good place to start.“餐桌就是一个分歧很明显的地方。”符合语境，故选A。
（5）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Preparing it using the powers of reflection and attention turns it into a higher pleasure.”用反思和专注的力量来准备它，会把它变成一种更高的乐趣。根据上文可知：狼吞虎咽是一种低级趣味。故选B。
【点评】本题要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。

13．任务型阅读How to Overcome Depression
Suffering from depression means more than just dealing with a bad week or even a bad month. Depression is a weakening condition that can make it impossible for you to enjoy your daily
existence. To overcome your depression, you have to first determine if what you're feeling are the symptoms of depression.________While medications can help relieve symptoms, it is still important for depressed persons to understand the disorder and develop healthier strategies for coping with it.
Keep yourself busy. Fill your schedule with events and activities you love. Keeping a busy schedule will force you to stay active, focused, and thinking about the next thing on your plate. You can draw up a schedule for each day at the start of the week, or simply plan out each day the night before.________
Improve your diet________Even if you're losing your appetite, you need to be determined to eat three meals a day. You don't need to try to lose weight or be incredibly healthy-conscious when you're dealing with your depression, but eating healthier food regularly will improve your mental and physical state.
Think positively. Being a more positive thinker will help you look at your life and world in a way that fills you with hope instead of despair. To think more positively, you should learn how to recognize your negative thoughts and to fight them with stronger positive thoughts whenever you can. For a jump start, find at least five things to be grateful for________
________ Neglecting personal hygiene (卫生) is a common side effect of depression. While you will not beat your depression by transforming your looks, if you take time to maintain your appearance and hygiene every day, you will feel better about yourself. Shower daily, brush your teeth and wash your hair.
A. Control your emotions.
B. Improve your appearance.
C Most importantly be happy about every single day.
D. Whichever method you choose, make a goal of sticking to it.
E. However, not everyone knows depression has a positive side.
F. Eating a healthy, balanced diet can also help you beat depression.
G. If you are feeling sad, lonely, or worthless, you may be suffering from depression.
【答案】G；D；F；C；B
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章针对如何克服抑郁提出了一些建议。
（1）根据前一句“To overcome your depression, you have to first determine if what you're feeling are the symptoms of depression.”可知，要克服抑郁症，首先你必须确定目前的情绪是抑郁的症状。按照文意，接下来应该是讲哪种情绪是抑郁的症状。选项G“如果你感到悲伤、孤独或毫无价值，你可能会患上抑郁症”是最切题的。所以答案选G。
（2）第二段主要讲了你要通过忙碌的日程转移自己的注意力，在最后提出两个做计划的方法：可以在一周开始的时候制定一个时间表，或者在前一天晚上计划好每一天。根据上下文逻辑关系，接下来只有选项D“无论你选择哪种方法，都要有坚持的目标”顺承句意。所以答案选D。
（3）由第三段第一句也即主旨句“Improve your diet”可知，这一段主要讲如何改善饮食。只有选项F“吃健康、均衡的饮食也能帮助你战胜抑郁”切题。所以答案选F。
（4）根据前一句“For a jump start, find at least five things to be grateful for”可知，首先，你要找到至少5件事值得感激。选项A控制自己的情绪，选项B改善你的外表和选项E并不是
每个人都知道抑郁有积极的一面，都不顺承句意。只有选项C“最重要的是每天都要快乐”最切题。所以答案选C。
（5）根据“While you will not beat your depression by transforming your looks, if you take time to maintain your appearance and hygiene every day, you will feel better about yourself”可知，虽然你不会通过改变容貌来战胜抑郁，但如果你每天都花时间保持自己的外表和卫生，你就会感觉良好。所以这一段是关于改善外表的。只有选项B切题。所以答案选B。

14．任务型阅读How to not be a slave to technology
Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project, shared four of his most important tools for applying technology more productively, and building a work life that supports—rather than wastes—your energy.
Build daily rituals (习惯).________ Build highly specific behaviors that you do at precise times over and over again until it becomes as automatic as brushing your teeth at night. The best way to prioritize (优先考虑) what's important to us and make sure we actually do the things we care about is to create highly specific habits.
Take a “first things first” approach to your mornings.________ Ninety-five percent of people have more energy early in the morning than they do as the day wears on, and they also have fewer distractions(干扰). So if that's the case, why wouldn't you do the most important thing when you have the most energy?
Use technologies selectively. If you expose yourself to different forms of technology continuously, they will pull you in the way a drug would, even when you know it is not serving you well. Keep technological temptations (诱惑) away when you find yourself getting too distracted—or as Schwartz puts it: “________”
________ Many of us live our lives in a gray zone—were not fully focused on work when were working, and during our leisure time, we're not fully relaxed. This leaves us feeling distracted. Schwartzs advice? ________ Applying less than your full focus doesn't just make you less productive; distraction keeps you from being fulfilled by and connected to your work. Distraction is the enemy to meaning.
A. Be intentional with your energy.
B. Do the most important thing first every day.
C. Taking breaks throughout the workday is a nice thought.
D. If you're trying to lose weight, don't have cup--cakes in the fridge.
E. We've crossed the line of being able to effectively manage all of the information coming at us.
F. When you're working, you're really working; and when you're relaxing, you're really relaxing.
G. The only way to ensure that things that aren't urgent but are important happen is to develop habits.
【答案】G；B；D；A；F
【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。如何让我们不成为科技的奴隶，施瓦兹分享了他建议：养成良好的日常习惯，在精力旺盛时做重要的事，有选择地高效地使用技术，合理安排工作和休息。
（1）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。第1小题的所在的段的小标题为“Build daily rituals”。本段主要讲述的是有一个好的日常习惯对我们来说重要的，也是优先考虑的。分析选项，可知G项有许多词与本段复现，The only way to ensure that things that aren't urgent but are important happen is to develop habits.而G项（做重要的事情的唯一方法就是养成习惯），故答案为G。
（2）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段说人一天中早晨的精力最旺盛，所以要在精力最好的时候做最重要的事。分析选可知B项“Do the most important thing first every day”（每天先做最重要的事情），符合本段的内容，故答案选B。
（3）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段叙述的是有选择地使用技术，否则的话会对你不好。当你知道它对你有害，却还会对它过分依赖。当发现你被它分心了就要远离它。而D项（如果你想减肥，不要在冰箱里放蛋糕）与最后一句是类比。就是如果不利于你的计划，你就离它远点。故答案为D。
（4）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本小题空后的Many of us live our lives in a gray zone—were not fully focused on work when were working, and during our leisure time, we're not fully relaxed. 说许多人工作时没有完全集中精力工作，休闲暇时并没有完全放松后的。这说明人们没有把精力控制好。分析选项可知A项Be intentional with your energy(有意（控制）你的精力（投向）)题意，故答案选A。
（5）考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力空后内容：注意力少一点也不会使你的工作效率降低；但分心会使你无法完成工作。分心是最大的敌人。结合本段前面说的：许多人工作时没有完全集中精力工作，休闲暇时并没有完全放松。所以Schwartzs的建议应当是该工作时要好好工作，该休息时要好好休息。分析选项F项（工作时认真工作，你放松时，你真的很放松）与之相符，故答案为F。
