But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply?‎ This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from an icy gully（峡谷）in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope（斜坡）so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.‎ The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film let out a sigh of relief. “I’m so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn’t bothering, right?” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.‎ However, others think human interference（干涉） is unnatural. “You can’t have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse,” said the show’s creator David Attenborough, according to The Times.‎ In this case, however, Mike Gunton, the executive producer of the series, said that this was a one-off situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this... they had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope,” he told the BBC.‎ Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it’s ever a predator（捕食者）situation, no matter how gut-wrenching, you stay out of the way. Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”‎ ‎“There’s no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you,” Will Lawson, the show’s director, told Daily Mail.‎ ‎24.What has led to a heated media discussion?‎ A. People’s various remarks on penguins. B. The rescue of penguins from a gully.‎ C. Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully. D. Ways of filming the series Dynasties.‎ ‎25.Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference?‎ A. Kathryn Shaw. B. Will Lawson.‎ C. Paul Nieklen. D. David Attenborough.‎ ‎26.Which of the following best explains the word “gut-wrenching” underlined in paragraph 6?‎ A. Putting one in place. B. Making one confused.‎ C. Putting one in danger. D. Making one heartbroken.‎ ‎27.What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Reasons for the Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals B. Suggestions on How to Protect Animals From Danger C. Effects of Human Interference on Dangerous Animals D. Opinions on Whether to Help Animals in Trouble or Not C ‎ It is widely accepted that nightmares (噩梦) are a reaction to negative experiences that happen during waking hours. However, some scientists believe that nightmares do have some real benefits. One 2017 study, for example, found that frequent nightmare sufferers rated themselves as more empathetic (有同理心的). They also displayed more of a tendency to unconsciously mirror other people through things like yawning People who have constant nightmares also tend to think further outside the box on psychoanalysis tasks. Some other researchers have found support for the idea that nightmares might be linked to creativity.‎ People seeking cure for nightmares were not necessarily more fearful or anxious, but rather had a general sensitivity to all emotional experience. Sensitivity is the driving force behind intense dreams. Heightened sensitivity to threats or fear during the day results in nightmares, whereas heightened passion or excitement may result in positive dreams. And both these forms of dreams may feed back into waking life, perhaps increasing suffering after nightmares, or promoting social bonds and empathy after positive dreams.‎ The effects go further still. This sensitivity overflows into awareness and thoughts －people who have a lot of nightmares experience a dreamlike quality to their waking thoughts. And this kind of thinking seems to give them a creative edge. For instance, studies show that such people tend to have greater creative talent and artistic express and people who often have nightmares also tend to ‎ have more positive dreams than the average person.‎ The evidence points towards the idea that, rather than disturbing normal activity, people who are unfortunate in having a lot of nightmares also have a dreaming life that is at least as creative, positive and vivid as it can be distressing and terrifying. What’s more, this imaginative richness is unlikely to be limited to sleep, but also is filled with waking thoughts and daydreams. Even after people wake up and shake off the nightmare, in other words, a mark of it stays behind, possessing them throughout the day.‎ ‎28.Which can best explain the underlined words “think further outside of the box” in Paragraph 1?‎ A. To think differently. B. To think positively.‎ C. To think critically. D. To think unconsciously.‎ ‎29.How can nightmare sufferers probably stop nightmares in theory according to the text?‎ A. Be more fearful or anxious to nightmares.‎ B. Try to reduce sensitivity to threats or fear.‎ C. Avoid excitement as much as possible.‎ D. Promote social bonds and empathy.‎ ‎30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The influence of nightmares is continuing for a long time.‎ B. People who suffer from nightmares cannot live a normal life.‎ C. Nightmares are a necessary part of creative thinking.‎ D. Nightmare is a reflection of waking behavior.‎ ‎31.What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. The Solution of Nightmares B. The Benefits of Nightmares C. The Empathy of Nightmares D. The Tendency of Nightmares D ‎ As the international demand for narrative(叙事的) film/TV content continues to increase with popular streaming services like Netflix and others the two questions then come: will the coming generations receive most of their entertainment through visual means rather than through the written word and will such an increase of narrative film/ TV reduce the importance of reading?‎ Growing examples of this trend include the diminishment(减少) of fiction in the common core (核心的)curriculum, the ever－rising culture of computer games, the wave of streaming services of wide international reach, and movies filled with special effects made for children and teenagers. Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the written word. The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形见绌) the publishing industry.‎ The other underlying question, of course, is “does it really matter if the written word bows to the world of film/TV?” From my point of view, any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for mankind.‎ There is no greater human feature than the imagination. It lies at the very soul of the human species. It is the brain’s most powerful engine. It is the essential muscle of life and like all muscles it must be exercised and strengthened.‎ Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspire, create and empower our imagination. Anything that diminishes that power is the enemy of mankind.‎ It should be known that I am not opposed to new media and technological advances. Instead, I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology. In fact, a number of my novels are in various stages of development for film, TV, and live stage productions. My hope is that the written ‎ word will only stand to be complemented(补充)by its visual counterparts(对应物), not pushed to the edge of extinction.‎ Of course, there are those who will present arguments for the superiority of the moving image over the written word. Each has its place. My argument is for finding the right balance between it and the moving image.‎ ‎32.In what way does narrative film/TV embarrass the written word?‎ A. Economic benefits B. International reach C. Cultural influence D. Educational importance ‎33.Why does the author value the role of the written word?‎ A. It strengthens our muscles. B. It helps sharpen imagination.‎ C. It distinguishes man from each other. D. It paves the way for narrative film/TV.‎ ‎34.What is the author’s attitude towards technology?‎ A. Cautious B. Skeptical C. Positive D. Critical ‎35.What’s the author concerned about?‎ A. The fate of reading. B. The extinction of fiction.‎ C. The impact of the written word. D. The future of the moving image.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 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。‎ ‎ Some people think working overtime means you’re a hard worker. You have to sacrifice your personal time to stay at work, produce something, help the company, and be a more devoted employee. But is that right? 36. This means it takes you longer to produce something than someone else.‎ A good manager knows how to encourage his employees to work to their full potential instead of expecting them to work late even if they don’t have something to do. People who stay in their office until late hate their jobs. 37.‎ Overworking may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency(效率). Any company that makes their employees work those hours is not being managed well. The fault lies with management, who should take a good look at themselves. 38. And the boss would prefer you work efficiently 7 hours and then go back home than 8 hours with poor efficiency.‎ ‎39. The fact is the competition is so fierce that if you don’t work hard someone will easily and willingly replace you, especially in the IT industry. Employees are told they need to work longer hours or they don’t belong or are denied promotions. It is time to abandon the culture of overworking, to work smarter, more efficiently and have a balance with personal life.‎ Nowadays, it’s hard for a young person to build a good future, for pressures are on his (or her) shoulders: housing, children, parents, themselves, etc. But everyone must keep working hard to have ourselves on the way to the good future, which is not certain. 40.‎ A. No one wants to work overtime.‎ B. The boss thinks highly of overworking.‎ C. Working too many hours only means you are inefficient.‎ D. And it affects their performance, as well as other aspects of their life.‎ E. What’s sure is that if you’re lazy and don’t work hard, no good future will come.‎ F. Managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side.‎ G. In many countries, overworking would be criticized because it reflects poor work efficiency.‎ 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ Chris is a columnist (专栏作家) at citypages.com whose life turned upside down in 2017. Chris was willing to share his story but his own print deadlines made it a(n) 41 task for this time. In 2017 Chris found out his 42 condition left much to be desired and that he needed a kidney transplant (移植).

Both men felt that it was somewhat easier for them to let their communication flow on Social Media 54 a certain point of time. Scott sent Chris a 55 tweet even after the successful operation. When seeing Scott for the first time on a family dinner Chris couldn’t say all he wanted at first and his writing talent 56 at one time.‎ Social Media 57 worked!
