When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, "Do you have the address? ""No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. "
"Oh, stop. There it is!”
The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
"May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. "Well, it’s our home." My heart jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down immediately! "
"There’s some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there." She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.
Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum? "
"Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone. "
"That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you."

Diet containing lots of salt can contribute to increased levels of stress, a new study shows. Scientists found in studies of mice that a high-salt diet increased the levels of a stress hormone by 75 per cent. Experts hope the findings will encourage a review of public health policy around salt consumption, aiming at manufacturers reducing the amount of salt in processed food.
The recommended salt intake for adults is less than six grams a day but most people regularly eat about nine grams. This can contribute to higher blood pressure, which increases the risks of heart attacks, strokes and dementia.
While effects on the heart and circulatory(循环) system have been ascertained, little was known about the impact of a high-salt diet on a person’s behaviour. To study this, experts from the University of Edinburgh used mice, who ordinarily have a low-salt diet, and gave them high-salt food to reflect the typical intake of humans.
They found that not only did resting stress hormone levels increase, but the mice’s hormone response to environmental stress was double that of mice that had a normal diet. Salt intake increased the activity of genes that produce the proteins in the brain which control how the body responds to stress.
Experts say further studies are already underway to understand if a high-salt intake leads to other behavioural changes such as anxiety and aggression. Matthew Bailey, professor of Renal Physiology at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Cardiovascular Science, said: “We are what we eat and understanding how high-salt food changes our mental health is an important step to improving wellbeing. We know that eating too much salt damages our heart, blood vessels(血管) and kidneys. This study now tells us that high salt in our food also changes the way our brain handles stress.”
28. What are the findings expected to bring about eventually?
A. Manufacturers adding less salt to processed food.
B. People debating the policy on public health.
C. Decreased levels of stress hormones.
D. Reduced amount of processed food.
29. What does the underlined word “ascertained” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Ignored. B. Restored. C. Reduced. D. Confirmed.
30. Which of the following may be a subject of further research?
A. What policy on salt should be.
B. How a high-salt intake affects blood pressure.
C. How much salt intake is appropriate.
D. Whether a high-salt intake causes anxiety.
31. What may be a suitable tittle for the text?
A. Most people regularly take in too much salt.
B. Mental health is important to improving well being.
C. Diet containing much salt increases levels of stress.
D. Less than six grams of salt a day is recommended.

It’s true that our ability to pick up new skills declines with age, but using a specific type of mindset—effectively holding on to a beginner’s mind—can help you learn new tricks and skills effectively as an adult.
You may still wonder why you should make the effort, but best-selling author Tom Vanderbilt points out that there are many general benefits of learning any new skill—including some long-term brain changes that could reduce some of the mental decline that often comes with ageing.
Interestingly, the benefits here seem to come from trying out multiple skills, rather than focusing on one particular expertise. As Vanderbilt writes in his book: “Rather than running a marathon mechanically, you are putting your brain through a variety of high-intensity interval workouts. Each time you begin to learn that new skill, you’re reshaping yourself. You’re training your brain again to be more efficient.”
The lifelong pursuit of many different interests may even increase your creativity. As David Epstein also noted in his book, Nobel laureates were many times more likely to have enjoyed artistic pursuits such as music, dance, visual art or creative writing than other scientists.
As you set about learning a new skill, there will be frustrations and moments of failure—but these may in fact be the most important experiences of the whole process. After years of experience in journalism, Vanderbilt says that the new challenges were a welcome change to his “professional complacency (专业成就感)”. “It sort of opened my mind and brought me back to this sense of not knowing,” he says. “The learning of the thing itself was often different from what I imagined. My expectations were constantly being upset.”
Plentiful research has shown that intellectual humility——the capacity to recognize the limits of our knowledge——can powerfully improve our thinking and decision making. And it may be increasingly important in today’s rapidly changing world. Whether we are learning for pleasure or attempting to boost our professional skills, we could all do well to develop that “beginner’s mindset”, where nothing is certain, and there is everything to learn.

32. What can be the most beneficial way for adults to learn new tricks and skills?
A. Trying many things. B. Pursuing familiar interests.
C. Focusing on a specific skill. D. Training hard for a marathon.
33. What can be inferred from Vanderbilt’s words according to Paragraph 5?
A. He trains his brain through working out.
B. He hasn’t achieved his professional complacency.
C. He thinks failure is an important part in one’s learning.
D. He believes learning new skills can improve one’s mental health.
34. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Learning new skills and tricks.
B. Attempts to improve one’s professional skills.
C. The capacity of thinking and decision making.
D. The ability to recognize one’s limits of knowledge.
35. What is the benefit of holding onto a beginner’s mind according to the passage?
A. It frees us from frustrations.
B. It prevents us from becoming old.
C. It helps us reflect and brings us many possibilities.
D. It helps us become experienced in a particular field.

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How To Show Emotion
If anyone has ever told you to “open up more” or “show some emotion, ” you may wonder what they really meant. It’s easy for us to get caught up in our own little worlds and hide what we’re feeling from other people. 36 . But if you can open up more to others, you’ll see how rewarding it is to connect on a deeper level.
37 . Relax and think through your feelings as they come to you.Whenever you feel something, take a second to sit with what you’re feeling. Think about how you feel and let the emotion wash over you naturally.
Name your emotions as they come to you. Giving your feeling a name makes it easier to understand. Once you’re comfortable with a feeling, give the emotion a name. Are you anxious about something? If you don’t feel anything particularly moving, are you bored, or content? This process will make you more self-aware. 38 .
Maintain a journal for your feelings. One way to help you to open up emotionally to others is to keep a daily journal. 39 . Every day, write down a paragraph or two about your day and how it makes you feel. This will help you track your feelings over time and put you more in tune with yourself.
Engage in fun activities to share experiences with others. Do things you enjoy with people you love to share positive emotions. Dedicate one night a week to go out and grab dinner with your family. 40 , or go on a 20-minute walk every day. Being emotionally available and sharing how you feel is a lot easier when you have fun with the people you care about.
A. Push yourself to share every day
B. Take a minute to process emotions
C. Take a cooking class with your partner
D. Open up and get used to sharing how you feel
E. It will also help you express what you’re feeling
F. Treat it as a special space for you to open up and be honest
G. Sometimes, we don’t even realize we’re being guarded or hiding our feelings

Since the pre-Qin period, Chengdu has been an important cultural town in China. But 56 really sets the city apart, culturally, is its opera.

In opera gardens and tea houses across the town, audiences 59 (want) a glimpse of the local culture love to drink tea while listening to Sichuan Opera and watching face changing.
It 60 (believe) that "face changing" has its roots in evolution. Early humans needed survival strategies 61 (avoid) fierce animals and foreign invaders. Often, aggressive 62 (face) gestures and non-verbal cues were part of it. The Sichuan Opera is said to have brought this range of emotions on stage.
Once the performance starts, the actor keeps pulling down one mask after 63 in swift movements to convey different emotions. 64 (astonishing), no matter how close one is 65 the stage, they just can't tell how the masks change.
In fact, the different kinds of characters and personalities that Sichuan Opera brings alive can be found among common people. This is why its emotions will continue to resonate (产生共鸣) with people for a long time.

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。
“Mom!” I screamed as I looked through the window, “Why is my Ink Spot sitting in Mrs Cleary’s window?”
Mom pushed past me to confirm it. Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary’s sitting room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary’s. She had already adopted ten cats. Why must she keep my cat? I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot’s leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard.
Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister’s birth, “my” parents’ time was taken away by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart.
It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled(卷曲) up beside me in bed. He was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him.
I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw this tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life.
But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary’s window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be. “No! Mom, Ink Spot is my cat!” I protested wildly, but I had to admit the truth of mom’s words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger any longer.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your email. I know that you learned how to make dumplings. You’re so great. Now let me share my experience with you.
Since I watched the Winter Olympics Games in Beijing, I have been in love with skating. Since then, I began to make up my mind to learn it. But as soon as I stepped on the ice, I stumbled over myself. I found it difficult to learn skating. Although I practiced again and again, and fell again and again, when I thought of the athletes on the field, I didn’t give up. Soon I could skate quite well. I’m proud of myself.
From learning skating, I know while doing anything, we often meet many kinds of difficulties, but we shouldn’t lose heart. Instead, we should try our best to overcome them.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写
I walked towards Mrs. Clearys house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. The moment she opened the door, I asked Mrs. Cleary with watery eyes, “Why is my cat in your window?” Confused, Mrs. Cleary responded, “I didn’t know he was yours. I just thought he was another abandoned cat so I took him in just like I took in all the rest. If what I did has hurt you, I am awfully sorry.” Then she led me directly to the sitting room, where cats were playing happily.
Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. A flood of excitement passed through my body. I immediately picked him up and held him close as he rubbed beneath my chin, purring loudly. Seeing my cat well taken care of, I realized I had misunderstood my caring neighbor. Now my anger gave way to gratitude. I thanked her again and again before I took Ink Spot home, where I thought he should belong. The lost and found companion made me feel I was someone again.




【分析】本篇读后续写，通过阅读文章可知，讲述主人公在妈妈生了妹妹后，感到孤独，多亏有猫咪墨点的陪伴，但有一天猫咪去了领居家，主人公误以为是猫咪抛弃了自己，后来误会解除，他再一次感觉被爱。
段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“我慌忙走向克利里太太家，生气地敲了敲门。”可知，第一段可描写主人公是如何质问克利里太太，以及克利里太太是怎样解释的。②由第二段首句内容“墨点一看见我，就从窗户上跳了下来，一眨眼的工夫向我跑来。”可知，第二段可描写主人公情绪变化过程以及内心活动，还有误会矛盾的化解。
写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
