Life finds me on the Isle of Islay, Queen of the Hebrides. I am the warden(管理员) of The Oa Reserve, a 2,1oo-hectate nature reserve and working farm owned by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
It was always a dream of mine to live in Scotland. The friendly nature of the island communities, the landscape, beautiful coastlines and above all--the wildlife. The amazing wildlife. So, here I am: living and working on the west coast of Scotland in a dream job. Butthings weren’t always this way.
My school life never really amounted to much. I didn’t go on to higher education and my early working life was sloppy (马虎的), at best. Much of this was due to my disinterest in the work I was doing. I worked in factories, shops, warehouses and even a castle. I was always unsettled and uninspired. I never knew how to channel my interest and passion for nature into a paying job. Wildlife and nature had been part of my life since my youth. I remember my childhood with great fondness: I would read bird books, paint fact files for each species and get lost in the natural world.
In 2014, the opportunity I so badly needed finally appeared a paid training with Durham Wildlife Trust. I was given all the basic skills and training for habitat control, wildlife surveys and ground management works. In October 2015, I became the reserve warden for the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), where I stayed for just under half a decade. As happy as I was, new opportunities dared me to dream even bigger. The time had come to take my next step, to continue to grow within my career.
So, this is where I am now: living in the middle of a nature reserve, with golden eagles, red deer and hen harriers as neighbors. I feel as if I’m the luckiest man alive.
24．What does the author like best about Scotland?
A．Its wild species. B．Its beautiful shorelines.
C．Its unique scenery. D．Its friendly communities.
25．Why did the author feel unsettled in his early working life?
A．He was not well paid.
B．He changed jobs too often.
C．He felt not as good as others.
D．He showed little interest in the jobs.
26．What can be inferred about the author’s childhood?
A．He was fascinated by nature.
B．He knew a lot about biology.
C．He was forced to leave school early.
D．He dreamed of living in Scotland.
27．What does the author think of his work at The Oa Reserve?
A．Tiring. B．Satisfying.
C．Uninspiring. D．Challenging.
C
There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion (排除) of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective (视角) into specific fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit. ”
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
28．To become a specialist, one may have to________.
A．narrow his range of knowledge
B．broaden his perspective on life
C．know more about the society
D．avoid responsibilities at work
29．The specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to________.
A．enjoy meeting funny people
B．travel around the world
C．spend most time working
D．treasure their freedom
30．According to the author, a superior doctor is one who________.
A．should love poetry and philosophy
B．is a pure specialist in medicine
C．is fully aware of his talent and ability
D．brings knowledge of other fields to work
31．What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
A．Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.
B．In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.
C．Passion alone does not ensure a person’s success.
D．Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.
D
New research suggests that one night of sleep with just a small amount of light may have negative effects on health.
The small, 20-person study conducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the Center for Circadian (生理节奏的) and Sleep Medicine, was designed to measure the physiological effects of 100 lux (照度) of artificial light on healthy adults while they were sleeping. For the study, all the participants spent their first night sleeping in a mostly dark room. The next night, half of them slept in a better lit room. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and blood. In the morning, they’d give both groups a large amount of sugar to see how well their systems responded to it.
The group exposed to the light had raised heart rates throughout the night, and also had trouble getting their blood sugar into a normal range.
These changes suggest the small amount of light was enough to shift the nervous system to a more excited and alert state. “It’s almost like the brain and the heart knew that the lights were on, although the individual was sleeping,” says Zee.
While the findings of this study alone can’t predict what would happen in the long term, Dr. Colwell suspects the harmful effects would be cumulative: “This was only one night, so imagine if you’ re living that way constantly?”
“That’s going to increase the risk of long-term diseases,” says Dr. Charles Czeisler whose research has looked at the consequences of circadian rhythm sleep disorder for longer than just one night. He concluded that the unpleasant effects were primarily because of the “internal clock” being disturbed — not necessarily because of the lack of sleep.
This is not to say that the lack of sleep doesn’t also have negative effects on health — it does — but he says it simply stresses the lasting consequences of being exposed to light at nighttime.
“People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it’s not having physiological effects, but that’s simply not true,” Czeisler says.
32．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．How the study is carried out. B．What type of light affects sleep.
C．Who is in charge of the research. D．Why light and sleep are connected.
33．What do we know about the new research?
A．Light plays a critical role in regulating circadian rhythm.
B．A small amount of light at night is linked with sleep depth.
C．Leaving the bedroom lights on leads to mental disorder.
D．Sleeping with a little bit of light isn’t good for your health.
34．What does the underlined word “cumulative” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Common. B．Slight. C．Increasing. D．Accidental.
35．Which of the following might Czeisler agree with?
A．The more you sleep, the healthier you will be.
B．Physiological effects disappear with a sound sleep.
C．Sleep quality lies in how you feel about the sleep.
D．It is the circadian rhythm sleep disorder that matters.

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。
When did you last write a letter? Properly write one-by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail (传统信件), is it still necessary to write with traditional pen and paper? Well, some people believe that writing still has many benefits. 36
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. 37 But making a handwritten document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practicing your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation（标点）.
38 This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile (触觉的) feedback” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Work life website quotes Hetty Roessing from the University of Calgary, who says that “taking notes by hand involves cognitive (认知的) engagement in summarizing, paraphrasing, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping.” Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Drawing notes. shopping lists, or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. 39 Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: “In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencils yet. ---- 40
A. After all, we can’t ignore the benefits handwriting bring to us.
B. So maybe it’s not time to throw away your pens or pencils yet.
C. Especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
D. And writing a letter to a friend is a good way to practise handwriting.
E. Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper.
F. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email.
G. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact.

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 heart beat wildly as I stared at my phone screen. I re-read the message from my friend Jane. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news: she had been refused by her dream school. Jane had shared the sad news with only a few people. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was really hurt and disappointed.
I felt so bad. I knew how the news had gotten out because I had been the one to tell someone beyond her closest friends. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to only a few in the first place, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.
Did she really not know it was me? It would have been easy to admit what I had done and apologize if her message put the blame, specifically, on me. But it read as though it had been copied and sent to several people. Once again ignoring the right choice, I chose the coward’s (懦夫) way out instead.
“I’m so sorry for what happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken!”
I hoped that would work. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.”
“It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (匿名), wouldn’t’t it?” I thought to myself.
But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but also because I’d taken a further step in the wrong direction by covering it up.
I felt painful at church on Sunday, sitting in silence all the time. Later, the speaker asked us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way of holding on to our faith.
注意：1. 续写词数应 150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Worried that I would lose my friend and ruin my image, I was hesitating.

The next day, I went straight to Jane.

25．推理判断题。由第三段“I didn’t go on to higher education and my early working life was sloppy (马虎的), at best. Much of this was due to my disinterest in the work I was doing.(我没有继续接受高等教育，我早期的工作生活充其量是草率的。这在很大程度上是因为我对我所做的工作不感兴趣。)”以及“I never knew how to channel my interest and passion for nature into a paying job.(我从不知道如何将我对大自然的兴趣和热情转化为一份有报酬的工作。)”可知，作者对于早期工作并不感兴趣，因此内心非常不安定。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。由第三段“Wildlife and nature had been part of my life since my youth.

She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy.(我的编辑Toni也是一位作家，她编辑过几本历史书。她决定学习中国历史。作为一名画家，她着迷于紫禁城的结构之美，同样也对学习更多的中国哲学感兴趣)”通过Toni的例子来说明上文的观点。故选D项。
D
导语】这是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，晚上伴着少量的光睡觉可能会对健康产生负面影响。
32．主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“The small, 20-person study conducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the Center for Circadian (生理节奏的) and Sleep Medicine, was designed to measure the physiological effects of 100 lux (照度) of artificial light on healthy adults while they were sleeping.(这项由昼夜节律和睡眠医学中心主任菲利斯·泽伊博士进行的20人小型研究旨在测量100勒克斯的人造光对健康成年人睡眠时的生理影响。)”和最后三句“The next night, half of them slept in a better lit room. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and blood. In the morning, they’d give both groups a large amount of sugar to see how well their systems responded to it.(第二天晚上，他们中的一半睡在光线更好的房间里。与此同时，研究人员对睡眠者进行了测试：脑波、心率和血液。早上，他们会给两组人大量糖，看看他们的系统对糖的反应如何。)”可知，第二段主要是讲研究是怎么进行的。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第一段“New research suggests that one night of sleep with just a small amount of light may have negative effects on health.(新的研究表明，晚上伴着少量的光睡觉可能会对健康产生负面影响。)”可知，新的研究表明晚上伴着少量的光睡觉对健康没有好处。故选D。
34．词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“This was only one night, so imagine if you’ re living that way constantly?(这只是一个晚上，所以想象一下如果你一直这样生活？)”可知，此处是指Colwell博士怀疑有害影响会累积，所以cumulative意为“积累的，渐增的”。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据第六段第一句中的“says Dr. Charles Czeisler whose research has looked at the consequences of circadian rhythm sleep disorder for longer than just one night(查尔斯·齐斯勒博士说，他的研究已经对昼夜节律睡眠障碍的后果进行了研究，研究时间超过了一个晚上)”和最后一段中的“People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it’s not having physiological effects, but that’s simply not true(人们认为，只要他们睡着了，而且没有意识，就不会产生生理影响，但这根本不是真的)”可知，齐斯勒同意“重要的是昼夜节律睡眠障碍”的观点。故选D。公众号：高中试卷君

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要阐述了当下的数字时代，动笔书写仍然具有多种益处。
36．根据空前“When did you last write a letter? Properly write one-by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail (传统信件), is it still necessary to write with traditional pen and paper? Well, some people believe that writing still has many benefits.”（你上次写信是什么时候?正确的手写?在数字世界，发送短信或电子邮件比使用普通邮件方便得多，还需要用传统的笔和纸写字吗? 有些人认为写作仍然有很多好处。）文章第一段提出两个问题，引起读者注意，并引出本文话题，即动笔手写的好处，接下来要建议大家不要放弃手写。B项：所以也许现在还不是扔掉你的钢笔或铅笔的时候。符合语境。故选B。
37．根据空前“These days, When people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. ”（如今，当人们以书面形式提出要求时，打印的电子文件将被接受。）可知，这里强调电子文件的好处。electronic document和选项中的Doing this on a computer一致，F项：在电脑上这样做意味着它可以被保存、编辑、复制和通过电子邮件发送。符合语境。故选F。
38．根据空后“This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the ‘tactile (触觉的) feedback’ to the brain that contact between pen and paper does.”（这对学生来说尤其重要，他们认为在笔记本电脑上输入笔记缺乏笔和纸之间对大脑的“触觉反馈”。）可知，this指代的是手写，它对学生很重要，电子文件不具备手写的好处。E项：一些专家认为，使用老式的笔和纸对大脑有益。符合语境。故选E。
39．根据空前“Drawing notes. shopping lists, or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. ”（画笔记，购物清单或写在信封背面的信息仍然是有用的、快速的和便携的。）这里列举了手写的好处例子，以及空后“Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: ‘In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.’”（笔友作家凯瑟琳·莫勒告诉BBC:“在一个很容易上网发邮件或快速发短信的世界里，有人选择关闭虚拟世界与你共度时光，这是非常私人和珍贵的。”）强调手写对亲友们来说珍贵，G项：但给朋友或爱人写封信可能会产生最大的影响。符合语境。故选G。
40．根据空前“So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencils yet.”（所以，虽然数字技能仍然很重要，但不要放弃你的钢笔和铅笔。）文章最后再次强调动笔手写的重要性，接下来要提醒大家不要忽视手写。A项：毕竟，我们不能忽视手写给我们带来的好处。符合语境。故选A。

参考范文：
Dear John,
I'm your schoolmate Li Hua. I have learned that you have difficulty learning Chinese, and I would like to give you some advice on this.
Firstly, listen to Chinese as often as possible. The first step in learning a new language is to get accustomed to the pronunciation. Secondly,devote time to memorizing characters. Characters are to Chinese what words are to English. Spend at least half an hour memorizing characters every day. Thirdly, read a lot. You can read Chinese newspapers and magazines that interest you.
I hope these suggestions will be of use to you.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文：
【答案】Worried that I would lose my friend and ruin my image, I was hesitating.. That was exactly what I feared if I told Jane the truth. I could picture the disappointed look on her face, but what I feared more was the possibility that she would tell others I was that gossiper (搬弄是非者). Holding the phone in sweating hands, I kept tossing and turning (翻来覆去) in bed, at a loss about which on earth matters more: preserving my image or telling the truth? After a sleepless night, I pulled up my courage to speak out the truth, since my so-called image would be just a lie if I remained silent.
The next day, I went straight to Jane. I first admitted that I had been the one to break faith and hurt her, and then how I had chosen not to come forward when I had the chance. Feeling ashamed and regretful, I said sorry and didn’t dare to look Jane into the eye, ready for any harsh words from her, which I totally deserved. To my great surprise, she gave me a hug as a token of forgiveness, saying my confession (坦白) meant a lot to her. What a relief it was to clear the shame and restore the faith. We parted that day on good terms and are still friends. Never before in my life had I so firmly believed honesty is the best policy.

W: But I’m still dissatisfied with my spoken English. It’s my biggest problem. (14)
M: Cheer up, Tina.(14) Let me help you find the right way to learn English. When you’re studying a language, the keyword is patience. It’s of the greatest importance, (15) because nobody can master a language all at once.
W: Oh, yeah. But what am I supposed to do? Find some foreign friends or go abroad to learn it?
M: Not exactly. You can just make full use of every morning to practice English. (16)
W: Should I get up earlier every day?
M: You don’t have to do so. Actually, there are indeed many chances in the morning that you can grasp to learn English. (16) For example, you can listen to English news while you are dressing and washing. At the same time, you can imitate and speak English loudly. You need to take every opportunity to learn.

A new era of AI (artificial intelligence) is coming. AI has made its way into a variety of industries, which benefits both businesses and consumers. More and more companies have used it in their products, such as AlphaGo, self-driving, facial recognition, online assistants and so on. Generally, there are two types of AI: weak AI and strong AI. Weak AI is an AI system that is designed and trained to complete a specific task. For example, Apple’s Siri can answer people’s simple questions and obey a programmed order. But it can’t work without humans. Strong AI differs from weak AI in this part most. (17) Strong AI can solve problems and find solutions without humans, such as the self-driving car. (18) It can control a vehicle without human involvement, and avoid unexpected obstacles, such as passersby. As a whole, AI can make human life easy and convenient, and many experts believe the future of AI is bright. (19) But it is expensive and requires complex systems to operate. There are still many problems to solve, such as … (20)

Life finds me on the Isle of Islay, Queen of the Hebrides. I am the warden(管理员) of The Oa Reserve, a 2,1oo-hectate nature reserve and working farm owned by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
It was always a dream of mine to live in Scotland. The friendly nature of the island communities, the landscape, beautiful coastlines and above all--the wildlife. The amazing wildlife. So, here I am: living and working on the west coast of Scotland in a dream job. Butthings weren’t always this way.
My school life never really amounted to much. I didn’t go on to higher education and my early working life was sloppy (马虎的), at best. Much of this was due to my disinterest in the work I was doing. I worked in factories, shops, warehouses and even a castle. I was always unsettled and uninspired. I never knew how to channel my interest and passion for nature into a paying job. Wildlife and nature had been part of my life since my youth. I remember my childhood with great fondness: I would read bird books, paint fact files for each species and get lost in the natural world.
In 2014, the opportunity I so badly needed finally appeared a paid training with Durham Wildlife Trust. I was given all the basic skills and training for habitat control, wildlife surveys and ground management works. In October 2015, I became the reserve warden for the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), where I stayed for just under half a decade. As happy as I was, new opportunities dared me to dream even bigger. The time had come to take my next step, to continue to grow within my career.
So, this is where I am now: living in the middle of a nature reserve, with golden eagles, red deer and hen harriers as neighbors. I feel as if I’m the luckiest man alive.
24．What does the author like best about Scotland?
A．Its wild species. B．Its beautiful shorelines.
C．Its unique scenery. D．Its friendly communities.
25．Why did the author feel unsettled in his early working life?
A．He was not well paid.
B．He changed jobs too often.
C．He felt not as good as others.
D．He showed little interest in the jobs.
26．What can be inferred about the author’s childhood?
A．He was fascinated by nature.
B．He knew a lot about biology.
C．He was forced to leave school early.
D．He dreamed of living in Scotland.
27．What does the author think of his work at The Oa Reserve?

C．Uninspiring. D．Challenging.

There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion (排除) of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective (视角) into specific fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit. ”
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
28．To become a specialist, one may have to________.
A．narrow his range of knowledge
B．broaden his perspective on life
C．know more about the society
D．avoid responsibilities at work
29．The specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to________.
A．enjoy meeting funny people
B．travel around the world
C．spend most time working
D．treasure their freedom
30．According to the author, a superior doctor is one who________.
A．should love poetry and philosophy
B．is a pure specialist in medicine
C．is fully aware of his talent and ability
D．brings knowledge of other fields to work
31．What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
A．Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.
B．In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.
C．Passion alone does not ensure a person’s success.
D．Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.

New research suggests that one night of sleep with just a small amount of light may have negative effects on health.
The small, 20-person study conducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, director of the Center for Circadian (生理节奏的) and Sleep Medicine, was designed to measure the physiological effects of 100 lux (照度) of artificial light on healthy adults while they were sleeping. For the study, all the participants spent their first night sleeping in a mostly dark room. The next night, half of them slept in a better lit room. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and blood. In the morning, they’d give both groups a large amount of sugar to see how well their systems responded to it.
The group exposed to the light had raised heart rates throughout the night, and also had trouble getting their blood sugar into a normal range.
These changes suggest the small amount of light was enough to shift the nervous system to a more excited and alert state. “It’s almost like the brain and the heart knew that the lights were on, although the individual was sleeping,” says Zee.
While the findings of this study alone can’t predict what would happen in the long term, Dr. Colwell suspects the harmful effects would be cumulative: “This was only one night, so imagine if you’ re living that way constantly?”
“That’s going to increase the risk of long-term diseases,” says Dr. Charles Czeisler whose research has looked at the consequences of circadian rhythm sleep disorder for longer than just one night. He concluded that the unpleasant effects were primarily because of the “internal clock” being disturbed — not necessarily because of the lack of sleep.
This is not to say that the lack of sleep doesn’t also have negative effects on health — it does — but he says it simply stresses the lasting consequences of being exposed to light at nighttime.
“People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it’s not having physiological effects, but that’s simply not true,” Czeisler says.
32．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．How the study is carried out. B．What type of light affects sleep.
C．Who is in charge of the research. D．Why light and sleep are connected.
33．What do we know about the new research?
A．Light plays a critical role in regulating circadian rhythm.
B．A small amount of light at night is linked with sleep depth.
C．Leaving the bedroom lights on leads to mental disorder.
D．Sleeping with a little bit of light isn’t good for your health.
34．What does the underlined word “cumulative” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Common. B．Slight. C．Increasing. D．Accidental.
35．Which of the following might Czeisler agree with?
A．The more you sleep, the healthier you will be.
B．Physiological effects disappear with a sound sleep.
C．Sleep quality lies in how you feel about the sleep.
D．It is the circadian rhythm sleep disorder that matters.

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。
When did you last write a letter? Properly write one-by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail (传统信件), is it still necessary to write with traditional pen and paper? Well, some people believe that writing still has many benefits. 36
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. 37 But making a handwritten document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practicing your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation（标点）.
38 This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile (触觉的) feedback” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Work life website quotes Hetty Roessing from the University of Calgary, who says that “taking notes by hand involves cognitive (认知的) engagement in summarizing, paraphrasing, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping.” Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Drawing notes. shopping lists, or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. 39 Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: “In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”
So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencils yet. ---- 40
A. After all, we can’t ignore the benefits handwriting bring to us.
B. So maybe it’s not time to throw away your pens or pencils yet.
C. Especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
D. And writing a letter to a friend is a good way to practise handwriting.
E. Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper.
F. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email.
G. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact.

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 heart beat wildly as I stared at my phone screen. I re-read the message from my friend Jane. Someone had upset her by sharing her personal news: she had been refused by her dream school. Jane had shared the sad news with only a few people. She didn’t know who let the word out, but she was really hurt and disappointed.
I felt so bad. I knew how the news had gotten out because I had been the one to tell someone beyond her closest friends. Honestly, I hadn’t realized she meant to keep it so close to only a few in the first place, but at the same time I’d known it wasn’t a good idea when I started to tell it to someone else.
Did she really not know it was me? It would have been easy to admit what I had done and apologize if her message put the blame, specifically, on me. But it read as though it had been copied and sent to several people. Once again ignoring the right choice, I chose the coward’s (懦夫) way out instead.
“I’m so sorry for what happened to you,” I typed. “How awful that your confidence was broken!”
I hoped that would work. Her reply came back within seconds: “Thank you.”
“It would be okay for me to remain anonymous (匿名), wouldn’t’t it?” I thought to myself.
But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to break faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only of my original action, but also because I’d taken a further step in the wrong direction by covering it up.
I felt painful at church on Sunday, sitting in silence all the time. Later, the speaker asked us to examine ourselves and see if anything stood in the way of holding on to our faith.
注意：1. 续写词数应 150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Worried that I would lose my friend and ruin my image, I was hesitating.

Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests on the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and blood. In the morning, they’d give both groups a large amount of sugar to see how well their systems responded to it.(第二天晚上，他们中的一半睡在光线更好的房间里。与此同时，研究人员对睡眠者进行了测试：脑波、心率和血液。早上，他们会给两组人大量糖，看看他们的系统对糖的反应如何。)”可知，第二段主要是讲研究是怎么进行的。故选A。

34．词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“This was only one night, so imagine if you’ re living that way constantly?(这只是一个晚上，所以想象一下如果你一直这样生活？)”可知，此处是指Colwell博士怀疑有害影响会累积，所以cumulative意为“积累的，渐增的”。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据第六段第一句中的“says Dr. Charles Czeisler whose research has looked at the consequences of circadian rhythm sleep disorder for longer than just one night(查尔斯·齐斯勒博士说，他的研究已经对昼夜节律睡眠障碍的后果进行了研究，研究时间超过了一个晚上)”和最后一段中的“People think that as long as they fall asleep and are unconscious, it’s not having physiological effects, but that’s simply not true(人们认为，只要他们睡着了，而且没有意识，就不会产生生理影响，但这根本不是真的)”可知，齐斯勒同意“重要的是昼夜节律睡眠障碍”的观点。故选D。公众号：高中试卷君
第二节
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要阐述了当下的数字时代，动笔书写仍然具有多种益处。
36．根据空前“When did you last write a letter? Properly write one-by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail (传统信件), is it still necessary to write with traditional pen and paper? Well, some people believe that writing still has many benefits.”（你上次写信是什么时候?正确的手写?在数字世界，发送短信或电子邮件比使用普通邮件方便得多，还需要用传统的笔和纸写字吗? 有些人认为写作仍然有很多好处。）文章第一段提出两个问题，引起读者注意，并引出本文话题，即动笔手写的好处，接下来要建议大家不要放弃手写。B项：所以也许现在还不是扔掉你的钢笔或铅笔的时候。符合语境。故选B。

39．根据空前“Drawing notes. shopping lists, or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. ”（画笔记，购物清单或写在信封背面的信息仍然是有用的、快速的和便携的。）这里列举了手写的好处例子，以及空后“Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: ‘In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.’”（笔友作家凯瑟琳·莫勒告诉BBC:“在一个很容易上网发邮件或快速发短信的世界里，有人选择关闭虚拟世界与你共度时光，这是非常私人和珍贵的。”）强调手写对亲友们来说珍贵，G项：但给朋友或爱人写封信可能会产生最大的影响。符合语境。故选G。
40．根据空前“So, while digital skills remain important, don’t write off your pens and pencils yet.”（所以，虽然数字技能仍然很重要，但不要放弃你的钢笔和铅笔。）文章最后再次强调动笔手写的重要性，接下来要提醒大家不要忽视手写。A项：毕竟，我们不能忽视手写给我们带来的好处。符合语境。故选A。

参考范文：
Dear John,
I'm your schoolmate Li Hua. I have learned that you have difficulty learning Chinese, and I would like to give you some advice on this.
Firstly, listen to Chinese as often as possible. The first step in learning a new language is to get accustomed to the pronunciation. Secondly,devote time to memorizing characters. Characters are to Chinese what words are to English. Spend at least half an hour memorizing characters every day. Thirdly, read a lot. You can read Chinese newspapers and magazines that interest you.
I hope these suggestions will be of use to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文：
【答案】Worried that I would lose my friend and ruin my image, I was hesitating.. That was exactly what I feared if I told Jane the truth. I could picture the disappointed look on her face, but what I feared more was the possibility that she would tell others I was that gossiper (搬弄是非者). Holding the phone in sweating hands, I kept tossing and turning (翻来覆去) in bed, at a loss about which on earth matters more: preserving my image or telling the truth? After a sleepless night, I pulled up my courage to speak out the truth, since my so-called image would be just a lie if I remained silent.
The next day, I went straight to Jane. I first admitted that I had been the one to break faith and hurt her, and then how I had chosen not to come forward when I had the chance. Feeling ashamed and regretful, I said sorry and didn’t dare to look Jane into the eye, ready for any harsh words from her, which I totally deserved. To my great surprise, she gave me a hug as a token of forgiveness, saying my confession (坦白) meant a lot to her. What a relief it was to clear the shame and restore the faith. We parted that day on good terms and are still friends. Never before in my life had I so firmly believed honesty is the best policy.

W: Congratulations, Leon! You’re chosen as a host in our school’s broadcasting station. Will you be paid each month?
M: No, but I can get two credits this term. In fact, I want to gain some practical experience from it. (1)

M: Hey, Maggie. Eggs are still in the frying pan. They’re going to be burnt.
W: Oops, I totally forgot that. Can you turn off the gas? I’m busy with these dirty clothes. (2)

W: I’m thinking of getting a special pet, not a dog or a cat. They’re so common.
M: How about a turtle? It’s quiet and easy to keep.
W:OK, I’ll feed one. (3)

M: That phone ringing all the time is driving me mad! There must be something wrong.
W: Let me check it. Believe me. Okay, it’s fixed. Here you are.
M: Bravo! You’re such an expert!

W: It’s the first time I’ve visited our next door. Honey, you know what? I’m shocked by the old furniture in Sophie’s room. She tells me her grandpa gave it to her.
M: Really? It could be worth a fortune. We should also leave something to our future grandchildren.

M: If this blouse doesn’t fit my wife, may I return it? (7)
W: Certainly. You’ll receive a full refund within 7 days if it’s not damaged by human error. And you must show your receipt.
M: Oh, I see. But what if I just want to get it exchanged?
W: You may change it for the goods at the same or a lower price within 14 days.
M: Okay, I’ll take it. Can I pay it by credit card? (7)
W: I guess it’s OK. But you should make it clear to the cashier.

W: Excuse me, sir. Which bus should I take if I go to Central Park?
M: The No. 3 is heading in that direction. But you’ll wait at least 20 minutes for it in the rush hour.
W: That’s too long. I think I’d call a taxi.
M: Maybe it’s not a good idea, either. Taking a taxi is not worth it. It’ll take you 25 minutes there. (9) There seems to be a traffic jam. Why not walk to the park?(10) You can go straight from the opposite museum, and when you see a large parking lot, you’re almost there. That’ll take nearly 30 minutes.
W: You’re right. Although a 30-minute walk is tiring, it’s the best option for now.
M: Exactly.
W: Thank you very much.

M: Good morning, Ms. Thomas.(13) Can I have a talk with you?
W: Yes, Eric.(11) Come in please.
M: I’ve made a tough decision. I have to give up my job now.
W: It comes as a bit of surprise. Why do you want to leave? (11)
M: My parents live in Finland. You know it’s far away. They hope I’ll work there and spend more time with them.(11)It takes me about 10 hours to fly from Shanghai to Finland each time. (12)
W: But you can visit them more often during the holidays. What about I permit you 10 more days off each year? Or I can help you apply for a pay rise. Plus, you’ll get a golden handshake if you can work in our American branch for at least 5 years. Do you want to go there? I truly appreciate your work. (13)
M: Thank you, Ms. Thomas. But I’ve already made up my mind.
W: Well, I feel sorry about it.

W: Colin, (15) you got the highest score on the English exam again. How I envy you!
M: You did make progress this time, especially in reading and writing parts.
W: But I’m still dissatisfied with my spoken English. It’s my biggest problem. (14)
M: Cheer up, Tina.(14) Let me help you find the right way to learn English. When you’re studying a language, the keyword is patience. It’s of the greatest importance, (15) because nobody can master a language all at once.
W: Oh, yeah. But what am I supposed to do? Find some foreign friends or go abroad to learn it?
M: Not exactly. You can just make full use of every morning to practice English. (16)
W: Should I get up earlier every day?
M: You don’t have to do so. Actually, there are indeed many chances in the morning that you can grasp to learn English. (16) For example, you can listen to English news while you are dressing and washing. At the same time, you can imitate and speak English loudly. You need to take every opportunity to learn.
W: Practice makes perfect, right?
M: You said it.
u all at once 突然
u Practice makes perfect. 熟能生巧。
u You said it.你说得对。

A new era of AI (artificial intelligence) is coming. AI has made its way into a variety of industries, which benefits both businesses and consumers. More and more companies have used it in their products, such as AlphaGo, self-driving, facial recognition, online assistants and so on. Generally, there are two types of AI: weak AI and strong AI. Weak AI is an AI system that is designed and trained to complete a specific task. For example, Apple’s Siri can answer people’s simple questions and obey a programmed order. But it can’t work without humans. Strong AI differs from weak AI in this part most. (17) Strong AI can solve problems and find solutions without humans, such as the self-driving car. (18) It can control a vehicle without human involvement, and avoid unexpected obstacles, such as passersby. As a whole, AI can make human life easy and convenient, and many experts believe the future of AI is bright. (19) But it is expensive and requires complex systems to operate. There are still many problems to solve, such as … (20)
