Recently 1.        internet slang word Foxi, or “Buddhist”, has become popular, encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflict as much as possible, in other words, to live  2.        a Buddha.

The phrase  3.         (create) in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own world without  4.         (disturb) and care little about passion and success.

Now, Chinese Internet users  5.         (pair) the phrase with other words to describe a similar mindset. For example, “Buddhist students” are those 6.       study just the right amount – they don’t cut class, but they don’t burn the midnight oil, either. However, some are worried about it, for they say that Foxi actually reflects the  7.        (real) that young people are losing their will 8.        (fight). They are pretending to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure  9.        (simple) because they’re incapable of succeeding.

第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，40分)

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Resorts of every kind have sprung up to cater to the Englishman need to spend a part of the year, however briefly, by the seaside. No town in Britain is more than eighty miles from the sea and there are seaside resorts all round the coast. On a summer Sunday most of the roads that lead to the sea axe congested (拥挤) with cars full of people eager to get a breath of sea air. In the evening when everyone is full of food, ice-cream and lollypops, there is the long slow drive home on roads crowded with returning cars.

Brighton

Brighton is one of the best-known south coast resorts and is very popular for day trip excursions. It is only fifty miles from London and can be reached by fast train in an hour. At the weekend the pebbled beaches are thronged with people sunbathing or picking their way to the water’s edge for a dip.

Bournemouth

Located a hundred miles from London, the beaches are wide and sandy. White houses line the cliff tops and narrow valleys, densely wooded with pine trees, reach down to the shore. The area near to the town of Torquay on the Devon coast is sometimes called Britains Riviera and the climate is so mild that palm trees grow along the sea front.

Blackpool

On the north-west coast, a popular resort for the people in the industrial north, Blackpool is a gay, noisy town, famous for its amusement facilities and the magical lights. At night people travel from miles around to see the extravaganza of lights decorating the sea front.

Southend

On the east coast at the mouth of the Thames, Southend is, like Brighton, one of the favorite resorts of Londoners. The pier here is the longest in Britain and offers a great variety of differing entertainments.

31. Why do people often have a long slow drive home on roads in summer?

A. Because it is extremely far from the sea.

B. Because too many returning cars often make a traffic jam.

C. Because people are full of food, ice-cream and lollypops.

D. Because people are attracted in the resorts so they leave slowly.

32. Which resort is famous for its entertainments and grand lights?

A. Bournemouth.   B. Blackpool.    C. Brighton.     D. Southend.

33. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. There are palm trees growing near Bournemouth.

For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur’s passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor.

Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother’s dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: “Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(编舞), the staging, but I didn’t want to own it.”

Yet Laqueur’s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion—telling stories through writing—made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.

Starting with her second self-published novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize.

“You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,’ she says. “If you work with traditional publishing, it’s more about what’s marketable, There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I’m cool with that.”

34. From Paragraph 2，we can learn that Laqueur _______.[]

A. was a part-time writer when she was young

B. didn’t like teaching dancing in fact

C. wanted to own a publishing house

D. was interested in running her mother’s studio

35. What made Laqueur change her attitude to business?

A. Her mother’s persuasion. B.The desire to make money

C. Self-publishing her novels. D. Her own passion toward art.

36. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “stole the show” in Paragraph 4?

A. became a failure. B. was shown to people.

C. got all the attention. D. was accidentally stolen.

37. What can be inferred from what Laqueur’s said?

A. Self-publishing will replace traditional publishing.

B. She will never use traditional publishing.

C. Traditional publishing only focuses on the market.

D. She enjoys the way of self-publishing.

C

The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year. Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook-stoves in the home. To help fight the problem, the WHO announced, new guidelines aimed at reducing household pollutants.

WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4. 3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple coal cook-stoves. WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease. The main victims are women and girls in developing countries, where they usually stay at home and do the household work.

Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene (煤油) fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not improve the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors.

Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.

WHO experts note some new, safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available. In India, you can buy an induction (电磁) stove for about $ 8.00. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $ 1. 00. But, this, the agency says, is just a start. It is urging developing countries to use cleaner fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances.

38. What does “the problem” in paragraph 1 refer to?

   A. Indoor air pollution.    B. Cooking habits.

C. Poor cook—stove.    D. Use of natural gas.

39. Why are women and girls the main victims of the indoor pollution?

   A. They are very weak in the developing countries.

B. They are more sensitive to the indoor pollution.

C. They are exposed to the indoor pollution more.

D. They are lack of doing more exercise outdoors.

40. Which of the following is a good way to avoid indoor air pollution?

   A. To open a window while cooking.

B. To use unprocessed coal indoors.

C. To promote the cleaner and modern cooking appliances.

D. To popularize the traditional cook— stoves in the home.

41. What is the best title of the text?

   A. How to prevent pollution

B. How to protect women and girls

C. Indoor pollution kills millions each year

D. The importance of health in developing countries    

D

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly （精彩地）written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in–depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).

42. How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A. By judging his manner of speaking.   B. By looking into his background.

C. By mentioning a famous name.    D. By discussing the book itself.

43. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?

A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.  

B. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

C. The author admitted having read 9 books.   

D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

44. By lying about reading, a person hopes to __________. 

A. control the conversation     B. appear knowledgeable

C. learn about the book      D. make more friends

45. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?

A. Favorable.  B. Uncaring.  C. Doubtful.  D. Friendly.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Although your eyes are designed to be used 24 hours a day, focusing on small items for a long period of time, perhaps while reading or working on a computer, commonly causes eye strain.  There are things you can do to help avoid and treat eye strain.

46   You can try the practice known as cupping. Rub your hands together to make them warm. Put your hands over your eyes and close them. Breathe normally and relax with your palms on your eyes for 5 to 10 minutes.

 When you stare at close distances for long periods of time, you should follow these eye relaxation techniques.  47  If not, you can overly strain the ciliary muscle(睫状肌) of your eye, which is the one that control the lens(晶状体) during the work of eyesight at a distance. You can also make yourself nearsighted, either temporarily or permanently.

Blinking provides a break for our eyes, but is often disregarded due to our heavy and long workloads.  48  To help with this, train yourself to blink more often to prevent dryness.

Some eye strain occurs because you look at things for too long without a break, such as a computer screen or book.  49  Try to use the 20-20-20 rule, which means that every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break and focus on something else that's 20 feet away.

50   To do this, roll your eyes slowly side to side, and up and down. Repeat this three to five times. Perform these exercises a couple of times each day, especially if you are working for a long time.

1. Blinking also cleanses your eyes.
2. It can also help with eyestrain caused by dryness
3. When your eyes are tired, try relaxation techniques.
4. The pressure on your eyes should be light and comfortable.
5. Take breaks and sit with your eyes closed for a few seconds to avoid eye strain.
6. To help strengthen your eye muscles, you should exercise the muscles in your eyes.
7. You should frequently increase the distance between you and the object you focus on.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Li Hua, a Senior 3 student in Hongxing Middle School. Learning that you are recruiting volunteers for the coming 18th World Middle School Games in Jinjiang, Fujian, in 2020, I am writing to apply for this position.

As a super fan of sports, I am eager to expose myself in various sports-related activities. World Middle School Games is such a golden opportunity to meet the outstanding teenagers worldwide that I really don’t want to miss it. In addition, the voluntary service will offer a precious chance to contribute to our society, which appeals to me very much.

I believe I am a qualified candidate. A good command of English ensures that I can communicate with the foreign athletes effectively. Moreover, with my love and knowledge for sports as well as Chinese history and culture, I can fulfill my role not only as a successful coordinator but also a cultural ambassador to spread the splendid Chinese culture.

I am longing to join you and I would be grateful if you could offer me the opportunity. Thank you for your consideration.

Yours,

Li Hua

1．了解活动 2．种植花草  3．观看宣传 4．坚持照料

One afternoon in early spring, I caught sight of a poster in my community which read “Green Community, Beautiful Home”. Having listened to the social workers’ introduction, I found the activity quite meaningful and decided to take part.

That Sunday, most of my neighbours gathered for the start of the activity. Since my mom was fond of flowers, we chose Chinese roses. Together with my parents, I carefully planted the flower seedlings and gently watered them.

A few days later, I was surprised to see our photos of planting flowers posted on the bulletin board in our community. My neighbours and I recalled the activity and talked a lot about how to take care of the plants.

Now looking after plants has become part of my life. This way, I can feel the simple pleasure of life and harvest a sense of achievement. Seeing the seedlings growing little by little, I can’t help picturing how beautiful our neighbourhood will be when all the flowers come out.
