She ‎ decided not to buy any new clothes or footwear for a whole year after she returned home to Adelaide in Southern Australia, and she managed to make it.‎ ‎ But last year, as her wedding day approached, she faced a dilemma. She wanted to look good on the most important day of her life, but how could she spend a small fortune on the wedding dress she would only wear on that day?‎ ‎ "In the end I decided that if I was going to get a wedding dress, I'd make sure I could get my money's worth, " Hall tells PA Real Life.‎ ‎ "The first time I wore it after the wedding was to vote in the Australian election in early 2019." the 43-year-old adds. "Since then, it's been to all sorts of places. Wearing it on a crowded train was especially funny, but I've worn it to do housework , to football games and to the gym. "‎ ‎ Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no irritating comments. It may have something to do with the fact that the dress is not the fanciest, but she believes people are just too reserved to say anything. Anyway, she doesn't really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress.‎ ‎ Hall now plans to wear her wedding dress on a trip to Iceland that she and her partner will take next summer.‎ ‎24. Why did Tammy Hall adopt a new lifestyle?‎ A. To adapt herself to Indian life. ‎ B. To cut down her consumption.‎ C. To save money for her next trip. ‎ D. To get prepared for her wedding.‎ ‎25. What did Tammy Hall do to get her money’s worth out of her wedding dress?‎ A. She brought fun to people with it. ‎ B. She tried to wear it to earn money.‎ C. She wore it repeatedly in daily life. ‎ D. She got it exchanged again and again.‎ ‎26. Which of the following best explains the word "irritating" underlined in paragraph 6?‎ ‎ A. Thrilling. B. Annoying. C. Amusing. D. Confusing.‎ ‎27. What can we infer about Tammy Hall?‎ ‎ A. She is determined to turn her ideas into practice.‎ ‎ B. She values her wedding dress less than her trips.‎ ‎ C. She has been struggling to make the ends meet.‎ ‎ D. She has influenced people's lifestyle widely.‎ C There is certainly evidence that actors experience a blending of their real self with their assumed characters. For instance, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “My mum says I'm much more impatient with her when I'm filming Sherlock.”‎ Mark Seton, a researcher at the University of Sydney, has even coined the term “post-dramatic stress disorder” to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role. “Actors may often prolong habits of the characters they have embodied,” he writes.‎ A recent finding doesn't involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers’ sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events.‎ After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the consistent finding was that their self-knowledge was now changed—their self-scores had shifted to become more similar to those they'd given for someone else. For instance, if they had initially said the trait term "confident" was only moderately related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend's personality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident. Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24-hour gap was left between taking someone else's perspective and re-rating oneself.‎ ‎"By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person .” said Meyer and her colleagues. That our sense of self should have this quality might be a little discouraging, especially for anyone who has struggled to establish a firm sense of identity. Yet there is an optimistic message here, too. The challenge of improving ourselves ---or at least seeing ourselves in a more positive light—might be a little easier than we thought. By roleplaying or acting ‎ out the kind of person we would like to become, or merely by thinking about and spending time with people who embody the kind of attributes we would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways.‎ ‎“As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore.” write Meyer and her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the fabric of our social networks, but even our sense of who we are."‎ ‎28. The first two paragraphs mainly .‎ A. state that acting requires skills B. explain the stress that an actor faces C. show that a role leaves a mark on the actor D. stress the importance of devoting oneself to a role ‎29. What does the underlined phrase "rub off on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Influence. B. Strengthen. C. Confuse. D. Determine.‎ ‎30. According to the study, taking the perspective of another person .‎ A. brings changes to one's self-knowledge B. motivates one to better understand himself C. helps people deal with their identity problems D. produces temporary effects on one's character ‎31. What is the significance of the study?‎ A. It offers instructions on making friends.‎ B. It proposes a means to improve ourselves.‎ C. It gives advice on adjusting one's emotions.‎ D. It presents a way to deal with stress disorder.‎ D ‎ A new device works like a solar panel, except it doesn't harvest energy from the sun to produce electricity. Instead, it uses energy from the cold night sky.‎ ‎ In the center of this device is a thermoelectric generator (热电发电机), which uses the temperature difference between Earth and outer space to create electricity.‎ ‎ As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate. That plate is sealed under a ‎ transparent cover and surrounded with materials that keep heat out. It stays cooler than the surrounding air by getting rid of any heat it absorbs as infrared (红外线) radiation. That radiation can zip up through the transparent cover and on toward outer space.‎ ‎ The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate, which is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get several degrees centigrade cooler than the bottom of the generator.‎ ‎ Researchers tested the device one clear December night in Stanford, Calif. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of the device. That was just enough power to light a small electric lamp. Further improvements might develop its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter.‎ ‎ “It's a very clever idea,” says Yuan Yang, a materials scientist who works at Columbia University in New York City. “The device still needs improving.” he notes. “But this new device may be useful for backup power," Yang says, “It might also provide a bit of energy to people living in areas that lack electricity.”‎ ‎ “The device could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices.” says Aswath Raman, a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. “What's more, this may be useful in areas that don't see sunlight for months at a time.” Raman adds.‎ ‎32. How is the device designed?‎ ‎ A. It includes two aluminum plates with different functions.‎ ‎ B. It is equipped with a heat-resistant generator in the center.‎ ‎ C. Its two aluminum plates are exposed to air to keep heat out.‎ ‎ D. Its generator is sealed by a transparent cover to remain cool.‎ ‎33. What is the limitation with the tested device?‎ ‎ A. It won't be expanded to be much larger.‎ ‎ B. It fails to produce electricity fast enough.‎ ‎ C. It is unable to power small electric lamps.‎ ‎ D. It produces a limited amount of electricity.‎ ‎34. In paragraph 6, Yuan Yang mainly intends to ‎ A. evaluate the device on a positive basis ‎ B. point out the problems with the device ‎ C. explain the research work for the device ‎ D. comment on Aswath Raman's prediction ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Lamps Are Powered by the Energy From the Cold Night Sky ‎ B. A Generator Producing Electricity Has Been Applied in Many Areas ‎ C. Scientists Have Made a Breakthrough in Harvesting Green Energy D. A Device Uses Energy From the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity 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。‎ Experienced Based Education Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches. This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning. 36.‎ Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.‎ ‎37． And we are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them to grow.‎ High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar. 38.‎ To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or pick up some new language from locals. You can also go to a drive-in movie or some other entertainment event that is new to you. 39.‎ These types of experiences often result in very little “book knowledge”. Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations. 40. It can be invaluable for you to work effectively with others. Becoming a well-rounded human isn’t something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime ‎ developing your potential.‎ A. Has education changed so much in the last decade?‎ B. They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.‎ C. Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development.‎ D. These are all things that can stretch and expand your experience in life.‎ E. This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.‎ F. As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.‎ G. What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not?‎ 第三部分 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。‎ The work for which Thomas Malthus is still most widely known is his Essay on the Principle of Population, which first appeared in 1798.

As you can guess, there is rich cultural meaning behind the faithful companion of the earth. In Chinese culture, as opposed to the masculinity of the sun, the moon is often compared to a quiet and elegant lady. Also, it reminds people of their family and friends far away. People feel reassured knowing that they are watching the same moon as if the moon could serve as their messenger. ‎ Human beings have never stopped exploring our closest neighbor. I believe it is of great significance. The development of relevant technology facilitates the progress of science in general, which benefits our everyday life. What’s more, I think moon exploration shows an important human trait, that is, curiosity about the unknown, which is the driving force that has brought our species this far. ‎ I hope you find what I‘ve mentioned above interesting and reasonable. By the way, what do you think of when you gaze at the moon? Write back and tell me about it!‎
