As a child, I never considered myself an athlete at all as I was very uncoordinated (不协调的). However, I did love to run because I felt as if I were flying. But this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden (卧床不起的) for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days.
When therapy wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga, to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend (天赐之物) because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.
Since each class was heated to 105℉, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, at the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I wasn’t disturbed by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.
After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, I made some progress. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started losing weight from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a bottle of energy drink and just gave me the burst that helped my knee heal and made my overall health better.
As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I had no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk food and thinking in negative limiting terms.
Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me have more confidence and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity (人道). Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life!

A．Her injury wasn’t so serious. B．The treatment was of little use.

A．How the author got her knee to heal.
B．The effect the author’s practising yoga had on her.
C．The problems the author met with when doing yoga.
D．How the author made her schedule work out in the room.7．What inspired the author to think she could do well in yoga?

People in many countries are longing for the good old days. When asked if life in their country is better or worse today than it was 50 years ago, 31% of Britons, 41% of Americans and 46% of the French say it’s worse.
Psychologists say this kind of nostalgia (怀旧) is natural and sometimes even useful: It helps give us a sense of stability and predictability. But when exactly were the good old days? Podcaster Jason Feifer gave us an answer to this question. The most popular answer seemed to be the 1950s.
In fact, many in the 1950s thought that the good old days were to be found a generation earlier, in the 1920s. But in the 1920s, child psychologist John Watson warned that because of increasing divorce rates, the features of the traditional American families would soon stop existing. Many people at the time idealized the Victorian era, when families were strong and children respected their elders. People have been longing for the good old days at least since the invention of writing 5,000 years ago. Scientists have discovered tablets (碑) which complain that family life isn’t what it used to be.
Why are human beings always so nostalgic for past eras that seemed difficult and dangerous to those who lived through them? One possibility is that we know we survived past dangers, so they seem smaller now. But we can never be certain we will solve the problems we are facing today. Radio didn’t ruin the younger generation, but maybe the smartphone will.
Another reason is that historical nostalgia is often colored by personal nostalgia. When were the good old days? Was it, by chance, the incredibly short period when you happened to be young? A U. S. poll found that people born in the 1930s and 1940s thought the 1950s was America’s best decade, while those born in the 1960s and 1970s preferred the 1980s.
This kind of nostalgia has neurological (神经学上的) roots. Researchers have found that we form more memories during adolescence and early adulthood than any other period of our lives, and when we think about the past, this is the period we most often return to. Moreover, as we grow more distant from past events, we tend to remember them more positively.
Obviously, some things really were better in the past. But our instinctive nostalgia for the good old days can easily misguide us, with dangerous consequences. Longing for the past and fear of the future hold back the experiments and innovations that drive progress. As inventor William Petty observed, “When a new invention is first proposed, in the beginning every man objects.. not one inventor of a hundred experiences this mental suffering.”
Petty was right: Vaccination, steam engines, railroads and electricity all met with strong resistance when they were first introduced. The point isn’t to show how silly previous generations were. The same kinds of anxieties have been expressed in our own time about innovations like the Internet, video games and stem-cell research.
And not all fears about the future are unreasonable. New technologies do result in accidents, they disturb traditional cultures and habits, and they destroy old jobs while creating new ones. But the only way to learn how to make the best use of new technologies and reduce risks is by trial and error. The future won’t be perfect, but neither were the good old days.
8．What do psychologists think of nostalgia in paragraph 2?
A．It is somewhat beneficial. B．It sounds unusual.
C．It doesn’t last long. D．It can cause mental problems.9．Why did a lot of people in the 1920s prefer the Victorian era?
A．On account of new technologies developing fast.
B．Because of people’s living standards improving a lot.
C．Owing to children’s being taken better care of in a family.
D．Due to better and stronger relationships between family members.10．What may cause some people to have an affectionate feeling for the past?
A．They feel dangers and problems in the past appear smaller.
B．They have little knowledge of today’s advanced technology.
C．They are more often cheated by others now than before.
D．They can’t get along well with others in the society.11．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．The old days were not as perfect as the future will be.
B．There are some people who feel anxious about innovations.
C．People should take into consideration others’ knowledge when inventing things.
D．The Internet, video games and stem-cell research pose great threats to humanity.

The US government took extraordinary steps on Sunday after the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), assuring depositors(存款人) at the institution that they would be able to quickly access all of their money. The announcement came amid fears that the factors that caused the California-based bank to fail could cause a banking contagion(漫延), and only a couple of hours before trading opened on Asian markets.
The Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) said on Sunday that all SVB clients will be protected-including accounts that exceed the FDIC-insured limit of $250,000. “Depositors will have access to all of their money starting on Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayers,” the agencies said in a joint statement. “This step will ensure that the US banking system continues to perform its vital roles in protecting deposits and providing access to the money deposited in the bank for households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth.”
Regulators had worked over the weekend to try to come up with a buyer for SVB, the second-largest bank failure in history. Those efforts appeared to have come up empty as of Sunday.
The regulators also announced that the New York-based Signature Bank had failed and its property was taken on Sunday. At more than $110 billion in assets(资产), Signature Bank is now the third-largest bank failure in US history. The officials also said that depositors at the bank, which was closed on Sunday by the New York state financial regulator, would not bear the loss. Signature’s shareholders and unsecured debtors will not be protected, and management has been removed, the officials said.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had said earlier on Sunday that she was working with banking regulators to respond after SVB became the largest bank to fail since the 2008 financial crisis, during which Washington Mutual collapsed. SVB had $ 209 billion in assets and $175.4 billion in deposits at the time of failure, the FDIC said in a statement. The bank mostly served technological companies. “We want to make sure that the troubles that exist at one bank don’t create contagion to others,” Yellen told CBS’ Face the Nation.
12．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The cause of the failure of Silicon Valley Bank.
B．The drawback of the US banking system.
C．The reaction of the public to the step.
D．The purpose of the measure.13．How did the regulators deal with the failure of the New York-based Signature Bank?
A．The unsecured debtors will bear the loss themselves.
B．The management of the bank is still in power temporarily.
C．The benefits of signature’s shareholders will be guaranteed.
D．It was closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation14．What does the underlined word “collapse” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Come to light. B．Come to a conclusion.
C．Come to an end. D．Come to life.15．Which can serve as the best title for the news report?
A．US to rescue failed banks’ depositors
B．Regulators try to come up with buyer for SVB
C．US banking system to promote economic growth
D．Factors causing SVB to fail lead to banking contagion


二、七选五
Throughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction (灭绝). When Europeans
first arrived in North America, more than 60 million buffalo (野牛) lived on the continent. But hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. 16 . Illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory (象牙) in their tusks.
Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat. The cow, for example, is a valuable source of food, but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant while the commercial value of beef protects the cow?
17 . However, cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Illegal hunters are numerous. Each has only a slight motivation to preserve the elephant population. By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. 18 because he harvests the benefit of these efforts.
Governments have tried to solve the elephant’s problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. 19 . And elephant populations have continued to decrease. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allow people to kill elephants, but only those that belong to them.
20 with private ownership and the profit purpose now on its side. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources, “What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they possess in common with others.”
A．They attract different groups of hunters
B．People pay much attention others’ property
C．But these laws have been hard to put into effect
D．The reason is that elephants are a common resource
E．In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar situation
F．The African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow
G．Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm

42．考查动词时态。句意：截至目前，该项目已从南美、东南亚、澳大利亚等地区引进了500多种热带水果。根据时间状语“Up to now”可知，此处使用现在完成时，主语为the project，助动词用has。故填has bought。
43．考查介词。句意：目前，海南17个市县部分地区种植奶果、黄水晶果、澳洲指橘等品种，种植面积达2000公顷。at present为固定短语，意为“目前”，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填At。

【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍李华对地震灾区的慰问和鼓励。
【详解】1.考查形容词。句意：听说上周你的家乡意外发生了可怕的地震，我感到非常抱歉。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词horrible作定语修饰后面的名词earthquake。故将horribly改为horrible。  
2.考查名词。句意：我想借此机会向遭受苦难的人们和所有失去亲人的人致以最深切的同情。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要抽象名词sympathy，作宾语。故将sympathetic改为sympathy。  
3.考查定语从句。句意：见第2题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，whom have lost their loved ones是定语从句，先行词those指人，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词who引导。故将whom改为who。  
4.考查非谓语动词。句意：想想你现在的处境，我们迫不及待地竭尽全力为你提供帮助。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词Think是句子主语we主动发出的动作，用现在分词形式，表示主动。故将Thought改为Thinking。  
5.考查连词。句意：见第4题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，是现在分词短语作状语，是简单句we cannot wait a minute to make every bit of our effort to offer our help to you.，所以中间不需要用连词。故将and删除。  
6.考查语态。句意：自灾难发生以来已采取行动。分析句子结构和意思可知，句子主语Action和谓语动词take之间是被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态结构。故在has后面加been。  
7.考查非谓语动词。句意：让地震灾区恢复生机的工作已经迅速开始。分析句子结构和意思可知，非谓语动词strike和被修饰的名词areas是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词，表示被动。故将striking改为stricken/struck。  
8.考查介词。句意：中国救援队已经前往你的家乡伸出援手。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要介词for/to/toward(s)，表示“朝……去”的意思。故将at改为for/to/toward(s)。  
9.考查固定搭配。句意：见第8题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要固定搭配lend a hand，意为“帮忙”。故将the改为a。  
10.考查代词。句意：我完全相信一切都会好起来的，你很快就会让你的城市重新站起来。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要形容词性物主代词，作定语，修饰后面的名词feet。故将it改为its。
52．Dear editor,
Nowadays, I find that some people who enter museums or galleries mainly use their mobile phones to take pictures of the artworks. They don’t intend to stay for long to watch and appreciate them with their hearts or in a thoughtful way. With the digital age coming, it is a common phenomenon. Thus, I propose people take more time to enjoy the works of art with their eyes and hearts instead of taking more time to photograph them.
In my opinion, not only can appreciating artworks attentively let us know the ideas and values they convey, but also it can improve our aesthetic taste and enrich our spiritual world.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
