A
Don't like getting out of the shower on cold mornings? Are you feeling that cold wind
when working or trying to relax?
The biggest issue that people have is the fact that most old-fashioned heaters are big,cost
a lot to run and waste energy.Luckily,a company has recently just developed a product
which saves a ton of power during its operation and is,above all,smart and easy to use!
It's called HotixPro and it's a very small,powerful heater that consumes much less energy
than regular heaters.
How Does HotixPro Work?
The ceramic element(陶瓷零件)stays warm30% longer,so it doesn't have to use
much power to reheat over and over again. The fan inside HotixPro then sucks the air out
through the hot ceramic element and distributes it evenly throughout the room!It can heat a
room up to 250 square feet and make it warmer in a few minutes,for just pennies.
What Makes It So Special?
One of the amazing features it has is the programmable timer.You can program it and warm
up your bathroom before you wake up.Also,its remote controller makes it very easy to adjust
the temperature. The company also kept safety in mind in the creation process --- they added a
sensor which makes HotixPro stop completely if it becomes too hot.
Is It Worth It?
Don't let your quality of life continue to suffer.Save on expensive energy costs and
keep warm during the winter anywhere! Purchase HotixPro at half price with free worldwide
shipping! 21.What is the main advantage of HotixPro?
A.It is delicate. B.It is efficient C.It is big. D.It is free of
charge. 22.How does HotixPro make a room warm?
A.By keeping a high temperature itself.
B.By storing the heat inside its big body.
C.By heating the ceramic element again and again.
D.By taking in cold air and giving off warm air.
23.What is a programmable timer used for?
3A.Checking the temperature automatically.
B.Adjusting the temperature from a distance.
C.Turning on or off HotixPro at the set time.
D.Turning off HotixPro when the room is too hot.
B
The other day, while taking a drop-in art class,I had an experience that I don't always have
when I'm engaged in something creative. I was fully in the zone.My instructor even
commented: "You're on fire today.”Painting after painting was flying out of me.I felt free---a
very unfamiliar feeling for me.
Class started off with quick thirty-second figure drawings,then we worked our way up
to one-minute,and then finally four-minute sketches(素描),Ever since the instructor told me
not to go over the same line twice,I've really struggled with finding my freedom in figure
drawing. But that day I was completely free,and as a consequence,my line quality was
much better.I felt completely unconcerned with what the teacher thought of my work.It
was one of the most enjoyable creative experiences I've had.
Afterwards,I was reflecting on why this was such a pleasurable experience.This is how I
always want to feel while creating.
I think this was so enjoyable because it was a drop-in class.Not a full course.Not to get
a master's degree.Therefore,I felt no responsibility for getting it right.I was able to take it
less seriously and just have fun with it.And I wasn't monitoring myself to make sure that I
was improving.
If you practice at your chosen craft,you will improve over time.Worrying about whether
you're getting better doesn't help you improve.It actually slows down your growth.Your
intellect might think it's helping out,but it's actually slowing you down and making your
creative process less fun.Eventually,there's truth to the simple saying --- practice makes
perfect.Since there's no perfection in the world of creativity,practice makes better.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.Create even though it won't be perfect.
Create because it won't be perfect.Create because your spirit needs to express itself.That is
where the freedom is.That is where the joy is.
24.What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?
A.The author was very clever.
B.The author got a little bored.
4C.The author made a wise choice.
D. The author devoted herself to her work.
25.What do we know about the author in the drop-in art class?
A.She did what she liked.
B.She learnt the basic skills of sketching.
C. She had no inspiration to create works.
D.She couldn't keep up with other students.
26.What can we learn about the author from the text?
A.She focuses on gaining better drawing skills.
B.She has no sense of responsibility in her daily life.
C.She thinks joy mainly results in a person's perfection.
D.She has found the reason for the pleasurable experience.
27. What can be a suitable title for the
text? A.Practice makes perfect
B.Begin enjoying drop-in art classes
C.Try to find the key to a successful work
D.Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good
C
We are often reminded of Oscar Wilde's saying that“sarcasm(讽刺)is the lowest form
of wit”while forgetting the following"but the highest form of intelligence” .Parents or
teachers of teenagers,in particular,may find it hard to believe that it is actually a sign of a
flexible and inventive mind.
Yet that is exactly what psychologists and neuroscientists have been arguing.They
have found that sarcasm requires the brain to jump through numerous hoops(圈)to arrive at
a correct interpretation, requiring more brainpower than literal statements.
If you're still not convinced that your teen's love of sarcasm is a thing worth
celebrating, consider a recent experiment from Li Huang,a psychologist at Insead's
business school in Fontainebleau,France.
In the experiment,participants were presented with a candle,a pack of matches and a box
of tacks(图钉).Their task was to find a way to attach the candle to the wall so that it could
burn without dripping wax on the floor. The correct answer is to empty the box of tacks,pin it
to the
5wall, and then place the candle inside-a solution that will only come to mind if you are
prepared to think about the functions of each object.
Before working on the problem,some participants were asked to recall a sarcastic
interaction, while others remembered a sincere or neutral exchange.Quite amazingly,the
sarcastic memories more than doubled the participants' success rate,from around 30% to more
than 60%.
It may initially feel like a shock when parents notice their children using sarcasm--- a
sign, perhaps, of a more adult-like cynicism(愤世嫉俗)that conflicts with their impressions
of their children's youthful innocence.Parents may feel particularly helpless when dealing with a
teenager who uses it in almost all interactions,as if they struggle. to express any sincere
emotions.
But should we blame teens for applying this handy tool? Perhaps it's better seen as the
useful practice of a vital ability.Penny Pexman,a psycholinguist at the University of Calgary
agrees and it is for this reason that she has produced Sydney Gets Sarcastic,a storybook
that provides multiple examples of sarcasm and the reasons it was used.In a recent
experiment on 5-to 6-year-olds,she showed that children who read and discussed the story
found it easier to detect sarcastic statements in a following test.
28.Why does the author refer to Oscar Wilde's words at the beginning of the text?
A.To give a definition of sarcasm.
B.To stress the significance of sarcasm.
C.To express his concern about sarcasm.
D.To show the misunderstanding of sarcasm.
29.What can we learn about sarcastic memories from Li Huang's experiment?
A.They tended to stay long with participants.
B.They offered clues to the problem to be solved.
C.They could force participants to face problems.
D.They contributed greatly to participants' success.
30.What might parents think of their children's sarcasm?
A.It shows their innocence.
B.It helps them express emotions.
C.It is not appropriate for their age.
D.It allows them to behave like adults.
31.What's the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To urge parents to learn from their children's sarcasm.
6B. To teach parents how to respond to their children's sarcasm.
C.To show parents the positive side of their children's sarcasm.
D.To remind parents to teach their children to use words properly.
D
Since the early to mid-2010s,social media apps have made a permanent home in many
people"s phones,and spending time on social media has become as much of a daily activity
as drinking water.Since so many people are on it for much of their days --- especially
kids,teens, and young adults --- there is increased concern over what social media is doing to
people.
Many argue that social media is an unhealthy way to pass the time,and that false
information from online is causing confusion and panic.This type of thing happens with
every generation when something new that people don't understand comes along.So
many people thought rock-and-roll was making teens morally bad,which really wasn't the
case.It is fair to say that the teenage years are hard, and that teens need an escape.Back before
phones,teens would listen to rock music as a form of escapism,or they would watch TV,go
to the movies,skate around,or dress up in crazy clothes.Unfortunately,all of those things at
one point in time were blamed for being a bad influence on young people.Social media is the
new rock-and-roll: it's a new thing, and people demonize(妖魔化)change.
For example,many believe that everything on social media apps is filtered(加滤镜)and
that seeing perfect people and their perfectly edited lives often leads to lots of negative
emotions. However,models,magazines, and movies have been using retouching(修整)tools
for photos and media since Photoshop and other post-production services were invented.Social
media has made it easier to see more edited pictures,but social media itself isn't making
people want to look a certain way. People should acknowledge that these pictures aren't
authentic,and the posts are made to look good on purposc.Social media is not to blame for
body confidence issues when the things people want to look like aren't even real in the first
place.
It seems like most issues around social media are user errors, like anyone complaining
there are too many people being addicted to social media.However,not everyone is addicted to
social media; people who have any grasp on reality wouldn't spend every waking second on
the phone. It is really up to the individual how they use social media.Keeping up with the
flood of posts, stories,and photos takes a lot of time -- many young people admit that they
spend hours on their phones every day.Yet, this seems like an easy problem to solve when
7the solution is simply clicking off the phone a couple hours early.So it is clear that
moderation is the key to dealing
7with all the issues around social media.
32.Why does the author mentionrock-and-rollin Paragraph 2?
A. To predict the future of social media.
B.To underline the advantages of social media.
C. To analyze why social media is so popular today.
D.To explain why social media is regarded as negative.
33.What does the author think of posting edited photos on social media apps?
A. Disturbing. B.Understandable.
C.Intolerable. D.Innovative.
34.What does the text suggest people do about social media?
A.Make the best use of it.
B.Completely stay away from it.
C.Prohibit young people from using it.
D.Spend reasonable amounts of time on it.
35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.What makes us soaddicted to social media?
B.Why is social media so popular among teenagers?
C.Should we depend on social media for information?
D.Is it right to blame social media for all the problems?

Your options for an eco-friendly home may seem somewhat limited now-solar
panels,rain barrels,and maybe a small garden-but as the world of green technology
advances,there is a rise in the number of smart,eco-friendly home improvements.Some of
them are available now, 3 6 Read on to see how you can improve your home now.
A home thermostat can automatically adjust the temperature for you,making sure your
house is warm when you get home and reducing energy waste during the day.For example,a
thermostat called Nest Learning Thermostat learns your heating and cooling preferences and
automatically adjusts itself. 37 ,without ever having to remember to adjust the
temperature.
Years ago,recycling paper and plastic was the most you could do to save resources. 38
,recyeling everything from Christmas lights to wine corks.And where do the
8post-recycling-process material send up?Back in your home,in the form of recycled-paper
countertops and recycled-plastic carpets,to name a few.
39 .But if you're ready to take your heating,cooling and electricity system into
the future,then you'll want to start with alternative new energy sources,like solar panels or
wind power.Solar panels are additions you can make to your own house,but if you don't have
the time or money,you can also choose alternative energy sources through your regular supplier.
In 2009,The WallStreet Journal asked four architectural firms to imagine the future of
green homes. 40 . They designed what they call the“Incredible Edible
House”,covered in green in the form of plants and gardens that provide food for the
homeowners,absorb heat to keep the interior cool, and are watered from a rooftop that catches
rain.

B.Others,like walls made of gardens,are a bit more futuristic
C.Traditional energy sources are still the norm in most houses
D.Nest users have saved $29 million in energy in less than two years

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
11“Go back, Mom!Go back!"shouted my six-year-old daughter,June.I quickly turned around
to cast my doubtful eyes on the back seat,worried I had forgotten her younger sister.I was
relieved to see the girls safe and sit in their car seats,but June's expression was one of pure
anxiety.“Mom, we have to go back,"she insisted.“Someone needs our help!”
As I looked back from the driver's seat,I spotted a young man in rags playing his guitar.His
skinny,poor-looking dog rested next to his feet near an old,worn cardboard sign that read,
“Homeless,please help.”
We'd come across homeless people before and had talked about their needs and struggle.I
should seize the chance to set a good example for my daughters to give a helping hand.So I
searched for some cash, only to find I had nothing but credit cards.“I'm sorry,sweetheart,but
I don't have any cash,”I said.“I have some,Mom!"June replied.She opened her little pink
purse and pulled out a five-dollar bill.“Oh,good.I'll pay you back when we get home,”I
responded with a sigh of relief."No,Mom,”she insisted,“I want to help him.I don't want
you to pay me back. I want to give him my money.”
As we drove down the crowded rows of the parking lot,I reassured her that we would get
to him.When we got there,I called out,"Excuse me,sir!”He cautiously walked toward our car
and answered,"Yes,ma'am?”“Here you go,sir.”June stretched out her entire body to hand
him her five-dollar bill through the window and explained,“I want you to have this.”He
smiled and hesitatingly asked,"This was your money?”"Yes!I want you to have it,"she
proudly answered. Thank you,hesaid,touched by her thoughtfulness.
We exchanged a smile,and as we drove away,my younger daughter Scarlett began to cry.I
hadn't noticed that she had emptied her purse and was holding two quarters(25分硬币)in her
tiny
hands.

1.续写词数应为150 左右;

“Mom,I wanted to help,too,"she sobbed.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Hearing that volunteers who can write English subtitles are needed for the coming
documentary for the life of senior three students, I can hardly wait to apply for the position.
As a senior student,I have a better understanding of this tough but very meaningful year,
because of which I can write more touching and dramatic subtitles for the wonderful scenes in
the documentary.Besides,what qualifies me most is my proficiency in written English.
Additionally, with enthusiasm and responsibility,I do hold the belief that I am perfectly qualified
for it.
I would appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.Looking forward
to your early reply.
Yours

“Mom,I wanted to help,too,"she sobbed. She felt like she had missed out.I didn't know
how to let her understand that two quarters was too little.But before I could make up a suitable
explanation,she announced,"Mom, he needs help!"I sighed and turned around.Seeing us again,
the gentleman looked confused.I awkwardly explained that my other daughter wanted to give
him her money just as her elder sister had just done.He peered into the van window to see my
pig-tailed four-year-old grinning from ear to ear.“I want to help you!"she declared proudly
Now with tears in his eyes, he said in disbelief,“You want to help me?"She nodded
firmly and happily. Then June proudly handed him Scarlett's coins.He tightly clutched
them in his dirt-stained hand and showered us with sincere blessings.Two quarters wasn't
much, even to the man,but what mattered to him and us was the loving gesture my girls
made.On our way back home,June put her hand on her heart, closed her eyes,and told her
little sister,"It feels so good to help someone,doesn't it,Sister baby?”Scarlett agreed.With
big smiles,they sank back into their seats.

Christmas! W:Oh, really?I never understood why people like them so much.What do you use

me. (15)
M: Well,he shouldn't be doing that. You're not supposed to use your remote control aircraft on

W:So,is it ready to fly as soon as you open it,or do you have to put it together first?

the government can keep track of what you're doing with it.(16)

fun!
