There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded. ‎ I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say," I can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading. ‎ This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. ‎ Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A's on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn't enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument. ‎ Yet, now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my ‎ burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don't have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.‎ We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless. ‎ ‎24. According to Paragraph 3，the author's reading of road signs indicates___________‎ A. her unique way to locate herself B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules D. her growing desire to know the world around her.‎ ‎25. What was the author's view on factual reading？‎ A. It would help her update test-taking skills. ‎ B. It would allow much room for free thinking. ‎ C. It would provide true and objective information. ‎ D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.‎ ‎26. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.‎ A. explore a fantasy land B. develop a passion for leaning C. learn about the adult community D. get away from a confusing world ‎27. What could be the best title for the passage？‎ A. The Magic of Reading B. The Pleasure of Reading C. Growing Up with Reading D. Reading Makes a Full Man C On this first night as a trainee doctor in Sylhet, Bangladesh, Mohamad Chisti watched three children die of pneumonia(肺炎). A “low-flow” technique, which followed the World Health Organization guidelines for low-income countries, was used. But it failed. He decided to find a better way.‎ In 2015, 920,000 children under the age of five died of pneumonia, making it the leading killer of people in that age group. In Bangladesh pneumonia causes 28% of baby death.‎ Pneumonia is particularly threatening to malnourished(营养不良的) children. First, malnutrition weakens the immune system, making infection more likely. Second, a child with pneumonia breathes faster. But this takes a lot of energy, so malnourished children do not have the ability to keep such an effort up for long. Dr Chisti’s device is designed to reduce the effort required to breathe, and to do so cheaply. Because a ventilator(人工呼吸机) costs around $15,000. ‎ His invention was inspired while visiting Australia. On this trip he was introduced to a type of ventilator called Bubble-CPAP. It channels the child’s out breath through a tube that has its far end put in water. The out breath appears from the tube as bubbles, and the process of bubble formation causes air pressure in the tube. These feed back into the child’s lungs. That improves the exchange of gases in the lungs and also increases the lungs’ volume. Both make breathing easier.‎ At about $6,000, standard Bubble-CPAPs are still expensive for many poor-country hospitals. However, when he picked up an abandoned shampoo bottle, Dr Chisti realized he could make something that did the same job. He made a device. The materials costs $1.25 and it worked. ‎ In 2017, the number of children who died of pneumonia had fallen by three quarters since his Bubble CPAP was used in the hospital. Now, Dr. Chisti and his team are starting trials in Ethiopia. If it works as well there as it does in Dhaka, it will surely be taken up elsewhere.‎ ‎28. Why did Mohamad Chisti decide to find a better way?‎ A. He spotted the failure of the “low-flow” technique.‎ B. The “low-flow” technique was too expensive.‎ C. Not all the children could use the “low-flow” technique.‎ D. The “low-flow” technique caused the death of 3 children.‎ ‎29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?‎ A. How to save a baby with a Bubble CPAP.‎ B. The working principle of Bubble CPAP.‎ C. The methods of helping the children in Australia.‎ D. Where Mohamad Chisti got the idea to invent something cheaper.‎ ‎30. What will happen if the new device spreads?‎ A. Mohamad Chisti will win a Nobel Prize.‎ B. More children with pneumonia will be saved.‎ C. Some medical companies will suffer a great loss.‎ D. A great deal of money will be saved to treat other patients.‎ ‎31. What can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Mohamad Chisti-an Inventor ‎ B. Pneumonia—a Leading Killer to Children C. A Shampoo Bottle Is Saving Young lives ‎ D. A Device Is Designed to Battle Against Malnourishment.‎ D Nothing succeeds like success，as every parent of a straight A student knows，but trying to stress academic excellence by telling your child“You're so smart！”may be counterproductive．Why？According to a 2017 study，children who think their intelligence is fixed are less likely to pay attention to and bounce back(重整旗鼓) from mistakes than children who think intelligence can grow and change.‎ In the study，researchers looked at 123 children. The team assessed the children to determine whether they had a“growth mindset”(believing that you can work harder to get smarter)，or a“fixed mindset”(believing that your intelligence is unable to change)．They then asked the children to complete a fast-paced computer accuracy task while their brain activity was recorded. During the recording，researchers noted that brain activity stopped within a half second after making a mistake，as children became aware of their mistake and paid closer attention to what went wrong. The larger the brain response was，the more the child focused on the mistake. Based on the data，they concluded that children with a“growth mindset”were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mistake. While children with a “fixed mindset” were able to “bounce back”，only if they gave their full attention to the mistake.‎ For parents，the lessons are clear：Don't pay your children compliments that suggest that intelligence is fixed. If your children hands you an A＋ score，don't say，“You're so smart！”Instead，say，“Wow，that studying really paid off！”or“You clearly mastered this material—way to go！”Note the effort，not the intelligence.‎ Besides，many parents shy away from addressing their children's mistakes，telling them“It's OK. You'll get it the next time”without offering them the chances to figure out what goes wrong. Instead，it's better to reassure your children that mistakes happen，and work to figure out where and how they make the mistake.‎ ‎32．Which of the following best explains “counterproductive” underlined in Paragraph 1?‎ A．Opposite. 　　　 B．Competitive.‎ C．Successful. D．Unknown.‎ ‎33．How did the children with a “growth mindset” react in the study?‎ A．They made fewer mistakes.‎ B．They tried to avoid mistakes.‎ C．They had a smaller brain response.‎ D．They focused more on the mistake.‎ ‎34．What should be avoided according to the study?‎ A．Overstressing the intelligence.‎ B．Paying children compliments.‎ C．Addressing children's mistakes.‎ D．Offering chances to find mistakes.‎ ‎35．What should parents say when children make a mistake according to the text?‎ A．You are so careless.‎ B．Your studying paid off.‎ C．You'll get it the next time.‎ D．Let's find out how you made it.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。‎ Many of us live with a roommate at some stage. Sometimes, there can be problems. Who hasn’t had an argument about whose turn it is to take out the rubbish or who should be the one to clear up after dinner? __36__‎ You know that there’s always someone else around, which can help you feel safer. There is always someone to talk to, so you never feel lonely. __37__ For example, we’re actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.‎ Australian researchers found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food, which can have a negative effect on their health. However, those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.‎ ‎__38__ The researchers believe food preparation may be one of the important factors. For example, those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with, and thus are likely to buy higher-quality fresh food regularly.‎ ‎__39__ If people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food, they may fall back on ready-made, less healthy food. However, if they live with at least one other person, they may be able to ask for help.‎ In addition, people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night. However, it’s helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at ‎3 a.m. __40__‎ A. What could explain these findings?‎ B. Cooking skills may be another factor.‎ C. You can encourage one another to go on a diet.‎ D. Statistics show people living alone tend to be slimmer.‎ E. That is, roommates can warn you of unhealthy routines.‎ F. Besides these obvious benefits, there are some you may not notice.‎ G. However, living with another person also comes with many benefits.‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 ‎ ‎ Hawthorne worked as a clerk in a small company.
