Grammar and vocabulary Section A Directions:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make

16、 the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beachs Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book

17、 as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtels “me” time. And (21)_ more Americans, shes not alone. A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53%) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46%) have lunch by themselves.

18、 Only at dinnertime (22)_ we eating together, 74%, according to statistics from the report. - 5 - “I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?” Bechtel said, (23)_(look) up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like m

19、any of us, too often (24)_(work) through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on (25)_ shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said. Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is fin

20、ishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom hes on a first-name basis (26)_ he wants to have a little interaction. “I reflect on (27)_ my days gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “Its a chance for self-reflect

21、ion. You return to work (28)_(refresh) and with a plan.” That freedom (29)_(choose) is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table.

22、 “It doesnt feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demeritt, (30)_ company provided the statistics for the report. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word m

23、ore than you need. A. modernity B. misery C. instead D. patent E. limits F. passionate G. gifted H. outlook I. favored J. blessed K. exhausting Time: is there ever enough of it? In todays modern world, most of us are 31 with so-called time-saving devices and technological advancements and work less

24、both at the office and at home. But why do we still feel busier? A study by Derek Thompson on the “myth” of being busy suggests that while 32 brought us convenience, it also brought us new headaches. Consider the idea of FOMO (fear of missing out). - 6 - Knowing exactly what were missing out makes u

25、s feel guilty or anxious about the 33 of our time and our ability to use it effectively. While being informed is important, it can lead to anxiety about keeping up with the times. If you find yourself unable to stop scrolling through Twitter, turn off the phone and take a mental break. Practice JOMO

26、 (joy of missing out), a(n) 34 on life thats a direct contradiction to FOMO. Get rid of feelings of guilt and “shoulds” and replace them with mindfulness and living in the moment. Another thing technology has 35 us is the blurring (难以区分) between work and downtime. While constant connection has made

27、the workday much more flexible, its also harder to turn off at the end of the day. Always being “on” is a(n) 36 state of mind. Consider putting a hard stop on media and electronic devices an hour or two before bed. Of course, if you want to move up the corporate ladder and get a bigger paycheck, wor

28、king long hours has long been a 37 strategy. But if you dont have passion for your job or care about what you do, you might just be working yourself into more 38 . People working the same hours feel completely different levels of time pressure depending on their passion. If most of the hours are spe

29、nt doing something you dont feel 39 about, its no wonder you start to feel out of control and anxious about your time. Taking back control of your time can ease this mental stress. Therefore, your time management goal shouldnt be to figure out how to do more, but 40 to figure out how to want less. I

30、II. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The expression, “everybodys doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of pee

31、r pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a(n) 41 way as a larger group. This influence can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups. People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 42 that s

32、ome part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, and - 7 - the fear of 43 , is such a powerful force in many peoples lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” wh

33、en a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. There is a(n) 44 aspect to this: it helps society to function efficiently, and encourages a general level of self-discipline that 45 day-to-day interaction between people. For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so i

34、mportant that it becomes a(n) 46 : in order to satisfy the desire, they may go so far as to 47 their sense of right and wrong. Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs that 48 criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel 49 to cover up illegal activity at the company

35、 where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they cant afford in an effort to 50 the peers. However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at 51 may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players

36、 on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of 52 can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one. Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be so 53 that a person may not even notice that

37、it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with a(n) 54 is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, and whether the real 55 is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing. 41. A.

38、 traditional B. similar C. peculiar D. opposite 42. A. understandable B. believable C. acceptable D. surprising 43. A. disapproval B. failure C. absence D. independence 44. A. uncertain B. practical C. impossible D. vague 45. A. promotes B. prevents C. simplifies D. increases 46. A. challenge B. ins

39、piration C. promise D. addiction 47. A. recognize B. abandon C. decrease D. define 48. A. avoid B. encourage C. decline D. punish 49. A. pressured B. respected C. delighted D. regretted - 8 - 50. A. catch sight of B. stay away from C. make fun of D. keep up with 51. A. competitions B. interaction C.

40、 academics D. adaptation 52. A. knowledge B. interest C. assistance D. influence 53. A. abstract B. ridiculous C. subtle D. reasonable 54. A. consciousness B. motivation C. instinct D. encouragement 55. A. motivation B. danger C. support D. achievement Section B Directions: Read the following three

41、passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) “You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody

42、 else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse（长曲 棍球）club. I guess that theres probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a lit

43、tle persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids arent even on At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, Ill do it.” Im secretly relieved because I know th

44、eres real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on

45、the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal. Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is couple

46、d with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real - 9 - joy. Volunteering just feels so good. In that sense, Im pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than Id f

47、reely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies? 56. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l? A. She knows little about the club. B. She isnt good at sports. C. She just doesnt want to

48、volunteer. D. Shes unable to meet her schedule. 57. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Encourage team work. B. Appeal to feelings. C. Promote good deeds. D. Provide advice. 58. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3? A. She gets interested

49、in lacrosse. B. She is proud of her kids. C. Shell work for another season. D. She becomes a good helper. 59. Why does the writer like doing volunteer work? A. It gives her a sense of duty. B. It makes her very happy. C. It enables her to work hard. D. It brings her material rewards. - 10 - (B) (You may read the questions first.) History Fair Competition
