No worries.Its drag－and－drop interface （界面）lets you rearrange the task and add it to a different day ' s column. Additionally，TeuxDeux lets you add repeating tasks for a day.‎ TickTick TickTick allows you to add tasks，subtasks，custom reminders as well as deadlines for a day，a week，or a month.In order to provide you with more ease in task scheduling，TickTick offers a nice calendar view，where you can add or edit tasks on a weekly or daily basis.It also has experimental features，which you can turn on if you want to try out beta capabilities （测试功能）.‎ Wunderlist The app lets you create tasks，subtasks and allows you to share with your family，friends and colleagues.The whole app is designed in the most user－friendly way and offers you the ability to add deadlines，additional information and reminders.‎ ‎21.To share your tasks with others，you'd prefer to choose .‎ A.Focuster. B.TeuxDeux C.TickTick. D.Wunderlist.‎ ‎22.What’ s the similarity between TeuxDeux and TickTick?‎ A.They offer a beautiful calendar view.‎ B.They have great experimental features.‎ C.They can help organize tasks for a week.‎ D.They have a very user - friendly interface.‎ ‎23.What benefit can you get from the four apps?‎ A.Completing your work more easily.‎ B.Obtaining everything you need faster.‎ C.Getting access to the Internet more quickly.‎ D.Organizing your activities more effectively.‎ B On October 23，2018，scientists came across a white octopus （章鱼）with “wings” that looked more like a ghost from outer space than the eight - legged ones we are used to seeing.‎ The octopus’ scientific name is Grimpoteuthis.However，thanks to the two ear- like fins（鳍）on the sides of its body，it is better known as a dumbo octopus，after Disney' s animated （动画的）elephant.The sea creature also has eight legs connected to its body by a web of skin，which are used to increase the pace when faced with natural enemies like sharks.Dumbo octopuses can also move across the seafloor using their tentacles（触须）.‎ While the one caught on tape was mostly white，dumbo octopuses，like other octopuses，can change their skin color in different environments.They，however，do not produce ink often used as a weapon by other octopuses.Instead，some dumbo octopuses have developed something sharp on their tentacles.‎ There are more than a dozen known species of dumbo octopuses.While most are small，measuring between 8 and 12 inches long，some can reach over 6 feet in length.Though octopuses have huge eyes，they can hardly see. However，although dumbo octopuses live in the deepest and darkest parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans，where nothing can be seen，the lack of sight does not affect them.Instead，they have learned to use the suckers（吸盘）on their tentacles to feel their surroundings.‎ Their deep－sea environment makes these octopuses difficult to spot，which is why any sighting of the unusual creatures is met with such joy.The latest one，caught on camera by Hercules，an unmanned robot，was discovered two miles underwater around the Davidson Seamount，a volcano in California.‎ ‎24.What can we learn about the white octopus from the passage?‎ A.It looks strange B.It has no legs ‎ C.It can fly out of water D.It is common in the sea ‎ ‎25.Which of the following are dumbo octopuses good at ?‎ A.Taking on different colors. B.Attacking enemies using ink.‎ C.Seeing in the darkness with big eyes. D.Protecting themselves with wings.‎ ‎26.What is the major function of the suckers on dumbo octopuses’ tentacles?‎ A.To keep their balance. B.To speed up their pace C.To sense their environment. D.To take in necessary food ‎27.What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A.The Octopuses Studied by Scientists B.The Dumbo Octopus Found off California Coast C.The Elephant - like Dumbo Octopuses Spotted by Robots D.A New Species Noticed around the Davidson Seamount C What kinds of rooms are your favorite spots for studying? We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be.Imagine.You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam.You have two rooms to choose from.One is a pale blue，and the other is a bright red.Which one do you settle into for study? Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning，or let you relax into the best state of concentration?‎ According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia，it might be best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information.It might sound strange，since we often think of pale rooms ---soft blues or light greens---are relaxing.And they seem to be：The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm，while bright colors increased heart rate.But calming and relaxing，it turns out，may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining.Reading comprehension was much better in the bright rooms than in the pale rooms.Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work，the researchers saw just the opposite ---that the bright - colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.‎ While this might seem only surprising，the findings get into a rather controversial （有争议的）area of psychological study.The Yerkes - Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance，while too much stress negatively affects it.The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.‎ ‎28.What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph?‎ A.Pale colors appeal to all tastes.‎ B.Few people like bright red or yellow.‎ C.Light - colored rooms make you feel nervous.‎ D.Bright - colored rooms are not good for studying.‎ ‎29.What might directly affect the research results according to Para 2?‎ A.How participants react to colors. B.Participants’s preferences in colors.‎ C.What participants read in the rooms. D.Time participants spent in the rooms. ‎ ‎30.What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University?‎ A.Higher stress leads to better performance.‎ B.Most people know how to make use of colors.‎ C.Stress is necessary when you want to concentrate.‎ D.Being relaxed is very important for people studying.‎ ‎31.What’s the main idea of the text?‎ A.Findings about people's favourite room colors.‎ B.Room colors can affect one’s academic performance.‎ C.Bright - colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.‎ D.Light - colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work.‎ D Breathing is something you do all day long，without even thinking about it.However，you might be doing it wrong.Research shows that the way you breathe affects the amount of oxygen you take in，as well as how you think and feel.‎ So which is it? Do you breathe through your nose or your mouth? Some health experts recommend people breathe in through their nose and out through their mouth.Others say that people should just focus on breathing easily，paying no attention to their mouth or nose preference.But mouth breathing has also been connected with bad breath，snoring（打呼噜），high blood pressure and bad teeth.‎ Nose breathing may affect how memories are stabilized（稳定）in our brains，according to Swedish researchers.During the study，participants smelled 12 different smells and then were asked to breathe either through their nose or mouth for an hour afterwards.Then，they were presented with the original set of smells and a new set. Those who smelled with their nose remembered the smells better.‎ A research team recognized the differences in brain activity that occurred when seven epilepsy （癫痫）patients breathed through their nose or through their mouth. The team found three areas of the brain where activity is connected with breathing. These areas showed more changes in brain activity only when volunteers breathed in through their nose.‎ So，should mouth breathers change their breathing habits? If you're happy with the way you breathe and you aren’t experiencing any health problems，be yourself and just keep your own way.But if you think it might be time for a change，focus breathing through your nose until it becomes a habit.It might help you survive an emergency.‎ ‎32.What does the word “it" underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A.Your life style. B.How you breathe.‎ C.How you think and feel. D.The oxygen you take in.‎ ‎33.What did Swedish researchers find?‎ A.Nose breathing may improve memory.‎ B.Mouth breathing causes health problems.‎ C.Nose breathers are not sensitive to smells.‎ D.Mouth breathers have a good sense of taste.‎ ‎34.What is the effect of nose breathing according to the research?‎ A.It helps one to stay healthy. B.It cures bad breath and snoring.‎ C.It makes one’s brain more active. D.It improves one’s sense of smell.‎ ‎35.What does the author think of nose breathing?‎ A.It's hard to get used to. B.It's suitable for everybody.‎ C.It's what people have to do. D.It's what people can benefit from.‎ 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。‎ Lao - tzu and Confucius were China’ s most famous philosophers. 36 Those who know do not say； those who say do not know.” said Lao - tzu. Confucius said that the best people say the least，but do the most.‎ ‎ 37 It comes from the story that he was born with white hair，already old and wise.? Very little is known about Lao – tzu’s life.His writings are titled the "Tao Te Ching”.‎ According to Taoism，the entire universe flows with a mysterious force called the Tao，which means “The Way”. 38 When people forget this，opinions of good and evil or true and false happen. Taoists try to remember their oneness. However，this is easier said than done，Lao - tzu said. Over time，Taoism changed a bit.? Taoism became more popular in A.D.440 when it became China’s state religion. Many people practice Taoism today.‎ Born in 551 B.C.，Confucius wandered throughout China as a government employee and a political adviser to the ruling Chou family. 39 After Confucius died in 479 B.C.，his students wrote down his teachings and called them Lun- yu，or the Analects. Many of his clever sayings are still followed today. “It is as hard to be poor without complaining as to be rich without becoming arrogant（傲慢的）.”‎ Confucianism says it is important to learn to be human.People should act with goodness towards each other to create order and unity. Confucianism guided thinking in China until about a hundred years ago.‎ Taoism and Confucianism have differences and similarities. Confucianism tells people how to act toward each other. Taoism tells people how to find meaning in life. They both share ideas about man，society，and the ‎ universe. Both Taoism and Confucianism have served as guides. 40 ‎ A.Good thinking lasts a long time!‎ B.Their sayings are still used today.‎ C.Lao - tzu may not even have existed.‎ D.He was also a musician，thinker，and teacher.‎ E.The name Lao - tzu means “Old Master”or“Old Boy”.‎ F.They have led China through the peaks and valleys of its long history.‎ G.Taoists believe that everything might seem separate，but is actually one.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 第一节 完形填空 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。‎ Five years ago，at the age of 66，I started running.I was not a natural 41 .I wanted to lose weight and it seemed that running was a (an)42 way.
