Mencken said it first, “For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat and wrong.” Several 7-Eleven stores learned the truth of that 36 . According to an article in New York Times, a number of convenience stores had a problem with 37 who were hanging out in their parking lots at all hours of the day and night. It’s not that they did not like kids, but the teens were 38 . Customers had to walk around them to get into the 39 . And every time they 40 deserted wrappers, cigarette ends and paper cups on the ground.‎ Managers of the stores tried various methods to solve the problem. They asked the young people to 41 elsewhere. They asked them to 42 their trash. They even spoke to the police, but nothing 43 .‎ In fact, all the solutions you need are out there in the universe just waiting to be 44 into your life.‎ ‎ 45 , one manager came up with a(n) 46 idea to prevent the teenagers from 47 in front of the stores. He suggested that all the shops should start piping easy-listening music into the parking lots. 48 , the young people stopped hanging around. Maybe his 49 was cruel, but it actually worked.‎ Sometimes we need a good 50 . Again and again we are up against the same old problem, whether it is relational, professional or personal.

Their diet includes crabs and sea turtles. A new study adds sharks to their menu. “They should change the textbooks,” says James Nifong, an ecologist who has spent years documenting the diet of estuarine (河口的) gators. He works with wildlife biologist Russell Lowers in the study.‎ Lowers actually captured a female gator with a young Atlantic stingray in her jaws. This was near Cape Canaveral. He and Nifong gathered several other eyewitness accounts. One US Fish and Wildlife Service worker, for instance, spotted a gator eating a nurse shark in a Florida swamp (沼泽). That was back in 2003. Three years later, a birder photographed an alligator eating a bonnethead shark in a Florida salt swamp. A marine turtle specialist that Nifong sometimes works with saw gators consuming both bonnethead and lemon sharks in the late 1990s.‎ ‎“Because alligators don’t have any salt glands(盐腺), they’re subject to the same pressures as me or you when being out in saltwater,” says Nifong. “You’re losing water, and you’re increasing salt in your blood system.” That can lead to stress and even death, he notes. To deal with salt, Nifong explains, gators tend to just go back and forth between saltwater and freshwater. To keep salty water out, they can shut their nostrils (鼻孔)and close off their throat with a cartilage (软骨). As they eat, alligators tip their heads up to let the saltwater drain out before swallowing their catch. And when they need a drink, gators can tip their heads up to catch rainwater or even gather freshwater from a layer floating atop saltwater after a rain shower.‎ Nifong, has spent years catching hundreds of wild gators and pumping their stomachs to see what they had swallowed. His work showed that the list of what’s on a gator’s menu is pretty long.‎ What alligators eat isn’t as important a finding as the discovery that they regularly travel between saltwater and freshwater environments, Nifong says. These dual dining zones cover “a wide variety of habitats across the US Southeast,” he notes. That’s important because these gators are moving nutrients from rich marine waters into poorer, fresh waters. As such, they may be having a larger effect on estuarine food webs.‎ For instance, one prey (猎物) item on the alligator menu is blue crab. And when gators are around, blue crabs curtail their predation of snails. The snails might then eat more of the marsh grass that forms the base of the local ecosystem. “Understanding that an alligator has a role in that kind of interaction,” Nifong points out, “is important when deciding how to protect some Species.”‎ ‎58. What does the research of James Nifong show?‎ A. Alligators are more than freshwater animals.‎ B. Alligators have changed their diet recently.‎ C. Alligators aren’t particular about their diet.‎ D. Alligators are extremely dangerous animals.‎ ‎59. What problem do alligators face when they’re in the sea?‎ A. It’s difficult for them to hunt. ‎ B. They find it hard to swallow food.‎ C. They have no means of accessing freshwater.‎ D. It’s hard for them to adjust to the environment.‎ ‎60. What is the significance of the new finding?‎ A. It shows that textbooks can be wrong.‎ B. It leads to better conservation programs.‎ C. It makes people know what alligators feed on.‎ D. It suggests alligators are in danger of extinction.‎ C It’s hard to shake a bad habit once it settles into our routine and becomes a part of our characters. It’s often equally difficult to develop a good habit every once in a while no matter how beneficial it might be to us. Is it really possible to develop a good and useful habit without much stress or sacrifice along the way?‎ While it may be difficult to only focus on one thing at a time, you can develop habits over time and focus on each one separately without sacrificing energy or attention. For example, if you want to get better at drawing or become the best writer in your class, you need to put your activities around that goal. Doing something different each day without rhyme or focus won’t help develop any longstanding habits but will only make you frustrated (挫败的) in the progress.‎ Don’t be shy to aim for your particular habit. If you want to sleep regularly every night or draw ten drawings every day without an excuse, why not go for it and see how far you can get? Being humble (谦虚的) about your life goals and habits will only lead to mediocrity, which will make you believe that you are not good enough to do something.‎ Looking for professional help might be a good idea if you don’t know how to inspire yourself or develop a daily plan for your habit development. It’s important to separate your big goals into smaller parts and activities that you can do on a daily basis without letting a day pass by when you don’t do anything about your new habits.‎ Being committed to your goals is the number one priority (优先事项) in developing a good habit. Always remember why you started working on your habits in the first place. If cycling each day can make you healthier, why not commit yourself to it and have a better life? If your drawing skills are poor, why not put some time into drawing each and every day while you are waiting for something else to happen? These small activities later will do a lot for your habit development and create an internal clock, or a personal routine. This routine will be habitual, meaning that you will start doing the scheduled activities more and more.‎ Only you can help yourself develop any good habit, no matter how hard someone might be pushing you to do so. Find support from your friends and family if you need it, but, firstly and most importantly, rely on yourself.‎ ‎61. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To advise readers to keep away from bad habits.‎ B. To introduce some good habits to readers.‎ C. To discuss how to acquire a good habit.‎ D. To compare bad habits and good ones.‎ ‎62. Through the case of how to be good at drawing or writing, the author tries to ______.‎ A. stress that people should focus on one thing at a time B. prove that anyone can be good at drawing or writing C. explain why people should develop a good habit D. show how difficult it is to develop a good habit ‎63. What does the underlined word “mediocrity” in Para. 3 refer to?‎ A. An accident of fate. B. A state of being average.‎ C. An expression of surprise. D. A strong belief in God and ghosts.‎ ‎64. According to the author, the key to forming good habits is ______.‎ A. telling good habits from bad ones B. finding out what one is good at C. getting help from an expert D. depending on oneself D When the first novel about a brilliant detective capable of solving a seemingly unsolvable crime appeared in 1888, it was an immediate success. The story’s hero, Sherlock Holmes, quickly became very well-known. Over the next 30 years, other stories describing Holmes adventures ‎ followed, each of which was eagerly awaited by the public. The novels made their author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, both wealthy and well-known. It is a curious fact, however, that Conan Doyle never really enjoyed writing his Sherlock Holmes novels. He regarded himself as a serious writer and felt that his detective novels were “commercial” and did not represent his finest work. ‎ Conan Doyle was born on 22 May, 1859 in Edinburgh. Supported by wealthy uncles, Doyle was sent to the Jesuit preparatory school Hodder Place at the age of nine. He then went to Stonyhurst‎ ‎College until 1875. From 1875 to 1876, he was educated at the Jesuit school Stella Matutina in Feldkirch‎, ‎Austria. From 1876 to 1881, he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. While studying, Doyle began writing short stories. His earliest fiction, The Haunted Grange of Goresthorpe, was unsuccessfully submitted to Blackwood’s Magazine. His first published piece, The Mystery of Sacasa Valley, a story set in South Africa, was printed on 6 September, 1879.‎ In 1882, he joined his former classmate George Turnavine Budd as his partner at a medical practice in Plymouth, but their relationship proved difficult, and Doyle soon left to set up an independent practice. Arriving in Portsmouth in June 1882 with less than ￡10 to his name, he set up a medical practice at Bush Villas in Elm Grove, Southsea. The practice was initially not very successful. While waiting for patients, Doyle again began writing fiction to kill time.‎ In 1888, A Study in Scarlet, Conan Doyles first story about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, was published. Its success puzzled its author, who much preferred his next, more serious novel, Mica Clark. This received good reviews but was immediately forgotten.‎ In 1890 his second story about the detective, The Sign of Four, was published. Conan Doyke was still working as a doctor, but he now made the decision to write a series of short stories featuring Holmes and Watson, and he persuaded Strand Magazine to publish the stories. The “image” of Sherlock Holmes was created by Sidney Paget, a very talented artist who used his handsome brother Walter as a model for the detective. In 1891, after a nearly fatal illness, the author made the decision to give up his medical career and concentrate on his literary one In 1893, however, Conan Doyle took a decision that was to horrify (使惊恐) his readers: he decided to kill off Sherlock Holmes. In The Final Problem Sherlock Holmes plunges (跳下) over the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland and dies. As a result, 20,000 readers stopped their subscription to Strand Magazine. Gonan Doyle did not mind at all, feeling that he could now get ‎ on with the kind of writing that most interested him. ‎ However, after a visit to the west of England, Conan Doyle was inspired by the wildness of the area and the famous prison there. He started writing a new novel but realized that there was something missing from his story—a hero. “Why should I invent such a character when I already have him in the form of Sherlock Holmes?” he asked. So, to the delight of thousands of frustrated fans, Sherlock Holmes returned: Rather than bringing the detective back to life, the author wrote the story as if it was a previously untold adventure. The Hound of the Baskervilles first appeared in episodes in Strand Magazine in 1901, and immediately became a worldwide sensation.‎ After this great success, a lot more short stories about the detective followed. The final collection of the stories of Sherlock Holmes appeared in 1927. By this time, it seemed that Conan Doyle had accepted his hero’s destiny.‎ ‎65. Conan Doyle didn’t enjoy writing his Sherlock Holmes novels because ______.‎ A. they were not liked by readers B. they didn’t bring him a fortune C. he didn’t consider them well written D. he thought they were commercial writing ‎66.

Once you’ve made them, you need to stick with them. To achieve this, you must try to change more. Unfortunately, many people think that making their resolutions is enough to mean they’ll happen. For instance, some people want to lose weight, but they think they’re on track just by stating that their resolution is to get into shape. Actually, it’s foolish of them to think that without making some changes. Instead, if you’re one of them, you need to think about why you might have failed to get into shape previously, and what you’re going to do to make it more successful this time— that might mean coming up with a better routine, joining a nearby gym or clearing up your schedule so you have more time for training. Don’t just think about the what—think about the how and the why.‎ Also you should write your resolutions down. You might be surprised by what an incredible difference simply writing your ideas down can make. As soon as you do this, you’ll make your ideas much more “real”, which puts you directly on track to accomplish them. As soon as you write something down, you start taking it more seriously, and life starts moving out of the way to make things happen. Meanwhile, writing down your resolutions can also help you avoid forgetting them, which is actually a common reason that we don’t accomplish our intended aims. Write them down and pin them up somewhere as a constant reminder.‎ When you make your new year’s resolutions, there’s no point in being too ambitious or coming up with ideas that you’re never going to manage. Don’t, for instance, make it your resolution to earn a million dollars next year, or to train for two hours a day. Start small and that way you’ll start to feel a sense of accomplishment which will inspire you to achieve more. At the same time you should always avoid making too many resolutions as they’ll end up competing for your time and attention.‎ If you’re struggling to accomplish your ambitions on your own, then getting others involved is often a great way to make sticking with your resolutions easier. This could mean just getting some of your friends to make the same resolutions so that you can go to the gym together, or it could mean getting actual help from a teacher, doctor or other professionals. In addition, simply telling others about your intended changes can help encourage you to achieve success. This way you’ll know that there’s someone watching your movements and that if you fail, there will be feedback as others find out and tease you for it.‎ Stick with your resolutions!‎ Paragraph outlines Supporting details Make more ‎ ‎(71) ▲ .‎ ‎◆ Your resolutions will (72) ▲ if you don’t work towards them;‎ ‎◆ You should think about the possible (73) ▲ for the failure of your past resolutions and then act accordingly.‎ Write them down.‎ ‎◆ The ideas written down are more “real”, which can keep you more (74) ▲ on your resolutions.‎ ‎◆ The resolutions written down can often (75) ▲ you of your intended aims.‎ Make (76) ▲‎ resolutions.‎ ‎◆ Start with (77) ▲ goals which will inspire you to achieve more. ‎ ‎◆ (78) ▲ the number of your resolutions to avoid them competing for your time and attention.‎ Get help from others.‎ ‎◆ Make the resolutions that are the (79) ▲ as those of some of your friends, so you can take action together.‎ ‎◆ (80) ▲ your intended changes with other people who can give you ‎ encouragement and feedback.‎ 第五部分 单词拼写 (共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分)‎ ‎81.

One possible version:‎ An increasing number of American teenagers use social media on a daily basis. While social media do have advantages, there are already facts and statistics indicating they bring about negative impacts on teenagers.‎ Important tool as social media are, their negative influence can’t be neglected. First, when teens use social media, they are likely to have trouble concentrating on their schoolwork. Besides, too much time spent using social media may decrease their real life communication. What’s worse, constant exposure to the fantasy world tends to harm teens’ self-dignity and hence leads to a lack of self-confidence, let alone the unhealthy information.‎ In view of the above mentioned consequences, for teens, proper use of social media is a must. First, parents should well guide their kids and set a limit. Moreover, teens should bear in mind that study is a top priority and thus spend less time on social media. In conclusion, if made proper use of, social media can be of help rather than danger to teens.‎ Text 1‎ M: Where did you get that book, Suzie? Did mom get it?
