The next morning, everybody was there at 7:30, 20 for the elevator. I acted 21 to see them all. We talked about the weather.

三、阅读理解（本大题共 13 小题，每小题 2 分，共 26 分）
A
It's believed that people reach their mental peak (顶峰) in their 20s. However, this isn’t completely true. According to a recent study by scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US, people are best at doing different things at different ages. They studied many people aged 10 to 90 years old, who were asked to take part in different memory tests.

It looks like a mix of a penguin ( 企鹅), an owl, and a teddy bear. Lovot has a camera on its head. It can remember about 1,000 faces. Wheels under Lovot’s body help the robot move around. The fun thing about Lovot is real-human. It can ask for a hug by opening its arms and waving to you, just like a baby. 28._____________. To young children, a year might seem to last forever. But older people might say that it flies by. Why is that? According to US scientists, young people’s brains process information at a faster speed than older people. They take in more information and do more things in a day. Therefore, they feel like each day lasts longer. However, older people’s brains degrade (退化) as they age. They take in less information and thus see a day pass more quickly. D. notice.
TAking 10,000 steps A dAy
You may have heard that walking 10,000 steps a day is good for your health. But is that true? In fact, there is no official recommendation to walk this much, US scientists said. It was an idea from an advertisement for Japanese pedometers (计步器) in the 1960s. Scientists suggest that people can have 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, such as quick walking. As a result walking about 7,000 to 8,000 steps a day is a good choice. 28. Which may be suitable for 28 ? A. Time makes old people less wise
B. People of different ages see time differently C. Time has something to do with people’s age D. Time flies faster to the young compared to the old 29. Based on the paper, which of these is a fact?

One day, Bassanio came to visit Antonio. This was not unusual because they were good friends. But the visit was more important than usual for Bassanio. He already owed Antonio a lot of money, but now he wanted to borrow some more.
“I have been spending more money than I earn,” began Bassanio. “I already owe you a lot of
money. I will tell you how I am going to get enough money to pay back all the money I owe.”
“Yes, tell me,” said Antonio. “If I can help you, I will.”
“When I was a boy at school,” began Bassanio, “I sometimes lost a ball when I was playing. When that happened, I would throw another ball in exactly the same way and watch it carefully. I would often find the two balls together. You might think of your money that way. The money you gave me is the first ball. It is lost, and I Know it’s my fault. But if you gave me some more money, it could be like that second ball and help you get all the money back. I will give back the money you give me now as well as the money that I have already lost.”
Antonio invited him to continue.
Bassanio told him about a rich young lady in Belmont. Her name was Portia. Her father died and left her a lot of money. She was beautiful as well as rich, and she was not married. Many men came from all over the world to court her, but nobody had succeeded. Bassanio had met Portia before, and he knew that she liked him. He told Antonio that if he had enough money he would soon make her his wife.
“She is rich and young and beautiful. Her hair is like gold, and her face is always sunny and happy. She is always smiling. Antonio! She is beautiful. She likes me. I am certain she would marry me, marry me!” he explained.
Antonio laughed. “You are my friend, Bassanio,” he comforted. “and I will help you. You know that all my ships are at sea just now, so I do not have much money to give you. However, you can go into town and try to borrow the money. Tell the moneylenders that Antonio will guarantee the money is paid back to them. Don't worry!” 31. How would Bassanio pay back Antonio’s money? A. He would use Antonio's money as “the first ball”. B. He would use Antonio's money as “the second ball”. C. He would return the money with the help of relatives. D. He would borrow some money from the moneylenders.
32. What does the underlined word “ guarantee” mean in the last paragraph? A. make sure
B. worry about
C. carry out
D. work out
33. What can you infer (推断) from the passage? A. Portia would refuse to meet Bassanio.
B. Antonio didn't lend the money to Bassanio. C. Bassanio would go to Belmont and court Portia. D. Bassanio would pay all the money back to Antonio.
D
Learning to control our greatest fears
Almost everyone is afraid of something, whether that’s snakes, heights, or public speaking. Fearing something is natural and common, and can even be helpful to frighten ourselves sometimes. In fact, fear can keep our bodies alert (警觉的) so we can act quickly to protect ourselves in the event of danger.
But for some people, fear develops into a “phobia”, which is a strong and unreasonable fear of something. For example, most of us feel a little scared when looking down from a tall building . But people with terrible acrophobia — a fear of heights — may not only feel dizzy (头晕的) when faced with a great height, they may also even turn down a great job just because the company’s office is on a high floor of a building.
Indeed, phobias can prevent some of us from living a normal life. According to Katherina Hauner, a researcher at Northwestern University in the US, people who are terribly scared of spiders might stay away from their home for days if they knew a spider was there.
However, since it’s thought that fear comes from personal experiences or memories, some
scientists believe it’s possible to “rewrite” these unpleasant memories, helping people get through their phobias.
In a study by Hauner and other scientists, people with arachnophobia — a fear of spiders — were asked to first touch a spider with a paintbrush. Once they saw it wasn’t really dangerous, they then tried touching it while wearing a glove. Finally, they were able to hold it with their hands directly.
Certain medicine has also been found to be helpful. Back in 2015, researchers at the University of Hiroshima in Japan injected (注射) a special medicine into a fish — which was afraid of light — to turn off the fear centre in its brain. From then on, the fish no longer feared light.
While the search for ways to deal with phobias is making great progress, there’s still the question of whether getting rid of ( 去 除 ) fear is a good idea or not. In fact, Dave Smithson of the
charity Anxiety UK thinks it’s a bad idea. “It’s fear that prevents us from doing crazy things,” he said. “There’s a name for people who don’t have fear of consequences: psychopaths (精神变态 者).”
34. The main point of the article is to _________________. A. show us what kind of role fear plays in our lives B. discuss if it is good to try to get rid of fear C. tell us about fear and phobia
D. discuss scientific studies about fear
35. How does the writer make the meaning of “phobia” clear? A. By making comparisons (比较). C. By giving statistics (数据).
B. By giving examples.
D. By giving lively descriptions (描述).
36. Which of the following shows the progress scientists have made in finding ways to deal with phobias?
A. They can use phobias to keep our bodies alert.
B. They can now reduce the pain that is connected with the phobia.
C. New medicine can shut off fear centers in animal brains whenever needed.
D. They have succeeded in helping some people pay no attention to the bad memories connected with their phobia.
37. Which of the following would Dave Smithson probably agree with? A. There is nothing to fear except fear itself. B. We should not let fear influence our decisions. C. Fear is not a completely bad thing. D. Without fear, everyone would be brave.

If you are feeling that life cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive ( 积 极 ). When stressed, depressed, upset or otherwise in a negative state of mind because you are aware that misfortune ( 不 幸 ) keeps happening.It is important to change those negative thoughts to something positive. If not, you will only attract more misfortune.
It is often very hard to think positive when so many things are negative, but be sure that someone, somewhere is worse off than you.
You can choose to think differently by beginning with the smallest of steps. If you start one
small, positive thing and appreciate ( 感 激 ) it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation and people will start showing up in your life. With appreciation, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events around you.
Here are a few common examples for you to practice. Begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful day!” When you see the rise of gas prices, say “I am so glad to have a car in which to get around.” When your boss is too hard on you, say “I am grateful for my job as I know that many don’t have one.” If you are having health problems, be grateful for what does work: \"I really do appreciate it that my eyes see, my ears hear, my mouth tastes, my legs walk. my arms lift and my mind thinks and everything else works.”
Write down whatever you're grateful for each day. In moments when you're feeling really down, read aloud what you wrote. This will certainly help uplift your spirits. If you practice this regularly, you will find your list getting longer and longer.
The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation. The more you appreciate, the happier you’ll be. Happiness begins from appreciation If you are feeling that life cannot be any worse for you, it can be a challenge for you to think positive. 52 it is not easy to think positive, remember that someone, somewhere is worse off than you. ◆ Beginning with the smallest of step is a good choice. 53 for you to One of the examples is that you can begin and end each day with a “Thank you for this wonderful day!” ◆ Write down think positive 54 that you are grateful for each day. 55 grateful things. If you keep practicing regularly, you’ll find The key is to move yourself into a positive thought and keep it there long enough to make it a moment of appreciation. Changing those negative thoughts to something positive is of great 七、完成句子
