Mr.Smith，the professor at my business class，had a unique way of going over the answers to our weekly tests.For each question，he would ask a random student for their answer and then continue to grill（盘问追问） him/her，forcing him/her to defend that answer.It was certainly a memorable way to review.How I wished I'd been a more experienced student and got used to the professor's grilling!I wasn't，though.
But in my anatomy class，Dr.Cuddy introduced"high power"and"low power"body positions，saying "high power"positions involve taking up much space and making yourself look big，while "low power"poses，in contrast，involve making yourself look small，keeping your arms and legs crossed and held close.People tend to see others with high power poses as natural leaders，and are more willing to hire them.Her research finding was that spending just two minutes standing in a high power pose increased a person's feeling of power and self-confidence.She wanted us to try it out.
On my next quiz-review day，instead of bending over my book studying quietly，I sat up straight and spread out my books and notebooks on the entire surface of my desk.When our teacher asked if anyone had any questions about the material before we began our quiz review，I raised my hand.
The effect was surprising.My professor answered my question as if talking to a colleague，and I had a wonderful feeling of calm.Suddenly，I realized that the important thing was that I was participating.I just needed to engage fully in the class and learn.
Today，before a presentation or a test，I spend a few minutes "thinking big"—taking up space and being seen.It calms me down and when I do，my best always turns out to be pretty good.

4.  How did the author perform in his business class？ ______

No one can resist the temptation （诱惑） of snacks.But at the same time，you may be underestimating how many calories a snack contains.What would happen if you had a bag of crisps （炸薯片） a day？Eating an extra packet of crisps a day could lead to a weight gain of 6.35 kg after a year，The Times reported.
People underestimate the number of calories in their snacks，with experts warning that eating a bag of crisps every day could lead to a stone of weight gain in a year.A survey of around 2 ，000 adults found that about three quarters underestimated the impact of what a small reduction could have.One in ten believed that cutting 200 calories a day would not affect weight.At the same time，many people didn't seem to know exactly how many calories were in their snacks.When it came to snacks，people struggled，with 95 percent guessing that half a sharing bag of tortilla chips had 214 calories on average，almost half the true figure of 447.
Can't we resist buying snacks？The food environment is to blame.Even though we all know snacking is bad for our health，we can't help but fill our shopping carts with snacks.Don't always blame yourself for poor self- control，and supermarket shelves also have to carry this "pot" half.
Hugo Harper，head of Nesta's health team，said the pressure to resist high-calorie snacks should not be put on consumers and that our food environment needed.to be changed，He said，"Our environment has a real impact on what we eat，from advertisements and supermarket promotions to what 's available in our local corner shops.
Hugo added，"If we had fewer cues to snacks，or were pushed to buy fewer high calorie snacks，we should be able to see real change."New rules coming into force next month will restrict promotions on foods high in fat，sugar and salt in big shops.

Cultural heritage is a variety of local treasures from different places.These treasures often increase people's pride in their hometown.Thus，protecting cultural heritage is of great significance and importance.In protecting cultural heritage，countries around the world should join hands further to deal with issues.Today there are shared measures to preserve cultural heritage.However，countries still have different views on cultural heritage preservation.
Asian and European architecture is very different，for example.European buildings are often stone structures that can stand damage caused by wind and rain，while those in the East are more often wooden structures which require renovation（翻新）.This leads to different views on how to preserve ancient architecture.
From the very beginning，Europeans have the opinion that people should take fewer measures in the process of protecting cultural heritage.For example，the ruins of the Roman Colosseum have simply been left as they are，but Asia has a tradition of renovation of cultural relics and we believe that this measure will not affect their authenticity（真实性）.The Ise Grand Shrine building in Japan is rebuilt every 20 years from one generation to the next.Such tradition caused a debate in international cultural heritage preservation circles，as some thought that the rebuilding process would harm its authenticity.Experts around the world travelled to Japan especially to conduct on-site check and discussions，and they finally recognized that the term"authenticity"actually varies from culture to culture.
The importance of these international exchanges is that they will help the world understand Asia，and accept Asian ways to protect cultural heritage.

12.  What can we learn from Paragraph 1？ ______

A. Protecting cultural heritage is of little significance.
B. Countries have the same views on cultural heritage preservation.
C. Cultural heritage often makes people proud of their hometown.
D. Countries work alone without sharing in protecting cultural heritage.

13.  What does the underlined word"those"in Paragraph 2 refer to？ ______

A. Structures. B. Buildings. C. Damages. D. Views.

14.  What can we infer from the text？ ______

A. European experts fail to protect cultural relics.
B. Protecting cultural heritage causes many issues.
C. Many European ancient buildings are made of wood.
D. Ways to protect cultural heritage are different from area to area.

15.  What does the author agree to in protecting cultural heritage？ ______

A. International communication is needed.
B. We should follow western experts' advice.
C. Cultural heritage will be damaged through rebuilding.
D. Asian ways to protect cultural heritage are unacceptable.

37.  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。
    My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce, loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her own lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years. I should add that we're not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
    That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. "There you go," she said. "You do know what you're doing with these things, don't you?" It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going. "Yes," I said. "Good. That's why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up," she went on. "Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the internet, sending e-mails and so on." She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her. I grabbed the box and stood up. Setting up the phone would be easy. It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging.
    The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother's with the phone. "Here's your phone. It's all ready to use." For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
    She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe (滑动屏幕). "What do you mean, swipe?" she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her.
    She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn't put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. "Take it away!" she howled. "I want my old phone back!" I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn't want to go home when she was angry and upset.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；
（2）请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
    "Come on，Eileen. One more try." I said.
                                                                                                 
                                                                                                 
Paragraph 2
    I was not feeling so hopeless any more now.

37.【答案】      "Come on, Eileen. One more try." I said. "This time I'll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use. Guess what, it took me a while to get the hang of swiping." added I. I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared. "I want a selfie with you. Show me how to use the camera!” My heart sank a bit, but she didn't need a lot of help and we sent her friend Emily a photo of us both laughing. "I can't wait to show everyone my new phone," she said happily. "Thank you for your patience, Tom."
    I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. Great-grandma's spirit inspired me greatly. It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills, then so could I. I had no doubt that I would find something I liked even more. There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it. I headed for home with a smile on my face and a whole lot of love for my amazing great-grandmother. My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from.
