Last month, the nation was named the happiest on Earth, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report released by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network. The Finns certainly have a high range of happiness, Eric Weiner wrote in his 2008 book The Geography of Bliss.‎ There’s a stereotype (刻板印象) that Finns are introverted (内向的) and shy, because they often stay silent. But in fact, “for Finns, it is extremely rude to interrupt someone. This leads to us making pauses (停顿) or taking our time to talk”, Krista Huhtala-jenks, a senior officer at Finland’s Ministry of Transport and Communications, explained to CNN. Perhaps Finland’s love for heavy metal music and tango reveals the country’s true personality, however. Indeed, young Finns love heavy metal, while tango remains a huge part of Finnish culture for the older generation. The passionate dance started in Argentina, but it’s Finland that became the tango capital of the world. Every July, the Finnish town of Seinajoki draws thousands of people from all over the world to a four-day tango festival. During the festival, a tango king and queen are chosen. Another trademark (特征) of Finnish culture is the sauna (桑拿). According to CNN, the nation has about 3.5 million saunas – roughly one for every 1.6 people. And 99 percent of Finns take at least one sauna a week, BBC News reported. In Finns’ eyes, saunas are closely related to well-being. For example, if a person gets sick, he or she will take a sauna. Many women also prefer to give birth in a sauna, because “the walls of traditional smoke saunas were lined with naturally bacteria-resistant soot (抑菌的煤烟灰), making them the cleanest room in the house”, BBC News noted. ‎ ‎ Medical benefits aside, the sauna is also seen as a place to collect your thoughts. “Sauna is for your mind. It really helps you to calm down in a modern society where it is never quiet,” Jarmo Lehtola from the Finnish Sauna Society, told BBC News. “If somebody wants to understand what it is to be a Finn, they have to understand what a sauna is. If you do not experience sauna, you do not experience Finland.” 24. According to Huhtala-jenks, why do Finns often remain silent? A. They are too introverted to talk. B. They prefer to take time to think. C. They have plenty of time for conversation. D. They believe it’s impolite to interrupt others. 25. How does the author show the sauna’s popularity in Finland? A. By giving examples. B. By raising questions. C. By presenting data. D. By making a comparison. 26. How do Finns believe saunas benefit people? A. They help people keep a peaceful mind. B. They can reduce the pain of giving birth. C. They help people to recover from cancer. D. They’re a good place to look for inspiration. 27. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article? A. To explore the interesting history of Finland. B. To introduce some aspects of Finnish culture. C. To study Finns’ true personality. D. To show Finns’ love for saunas.‎ C A great woman once said, “Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others.” These are the words of US pilot Amelia Earhart (1897 – 1937), a pioneer in aviation (航空领域), who was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Her story ended in mystery when she disappeared without a trace (踪迹) during a flight over the Pacific Ocean. Theories about what happened to Earhart were proposed (提出), but nothing was ever confirmed (确认) – until now. A study published in March conducted by Richard Jantz from the University of Tennessee, US, determined that bones found in 1940 on a remote Pacific island belonged to Earhart. ‎ ‎ Following the discovery, the world’s memories of the legendary (传奇的) female pilot were brought back to life. Earhart was born in 1897. When she was young, she was very interested in stories about women who were successful in male-dominated (男性为主的) professions, such as engineering and law. But in 1920, Earhart’s life changed after her first experience of being a plane passenger. As soon as the plane left the ground, Earhart knew that she loved flying, so she found herself a teacher and started to learn how to fly for herself. To pay for the lessons and buy a plane of her own, she took all sorts of jobs. In 1932, Earhart flew solo (独自地) across the Atlantic, becoming the first woman ever to do so. She also designed a flying suit for women and went on to design other clothes for women who led active lives. When she was nearly 40, Earhart was ready for a final challenge – to be the first woman to fly around the world. Her first attempt was unsuccessful but she tried again in 1937, with her navigator (领航员) Fred Noonan. But one month later, they disappeared in bad weather in mid-flight. Even though it’s still not clear how she ended up on the island, we’re one step closer to finding the answer. And no matter what, Earhart will be forever remembered as a brave pioneer, both as a pilot and as a woman. 28. When did Earhart first fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone? A. In 1920. B. In 1932. C. In 1937. D. In 1940. 29. What started Earhart’s interest in flying? A. Her parent’s influence. B. Her teachers’ encouragement. C. Her first experience as a passenger. D. Her childhood love for engineering. 30. Which of the following words best describes Earhart? A. Open-minded and patient. B. Creative and helpful. ‎ C. Talented and outgoing. D. Pioneering and determined. 31. What’s the article mainly about? A. The discovery of Earhart’s bones. B. Some possible causes of Earhart’s death. C. The inspiring life story of Earhart. D. What made Earhart a great pilot.‎ D US author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme. In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic (浪漫的). Instead, it’s a “giant evil” that’s become a serious problem in the country. So just how serious is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the country’s very first “Minister for Loneliness”. Her job is to tackle (处理) the loneliness that the country’s been feeling – a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to one’s physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And the problem hasn’t just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of the “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries. “There is something British about wanting to deal with problems yourself,” Christian Guy, director of the Centre for Social Justice think-tank (智囊团), told The Telegraph. But this doesn’t mean that the problem only affects Britons. In fact, we’re all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now having access to the internet, which has enabled us to be more connected than ever. What we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have “proper human connections”. “Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast ‎ majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings,” Leadbetter said at an event last year. But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or intimidated (吓倒) by it. After all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn’t even exist. And “evil” or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human.‎ ‎32. What can we learn about the UK’s loneliness problem? A. The UK became the loneliest country in the world in 2014. B. More than half of British people suffer from loneliness. C. The government is working to solve the problem. D. British people communicate less with their neighbors than ever. 33. According to the text, social loneliness _______. A. has become a problem worldwide B. didn’t attract the public’s attention until recently C. is mainly caused by the wide use of the internet D.does more harm mentally than physically 34. What does Leadbetter suggest doing to cope with loneliness? A. Making more phone calls to our friends. B. Stopping the use of electronic products. C. Interacting with the people around us face to face more often. D. Accepting its existence calmly. 35. Which of the following would the author probably agree with? A. Loneliness is a giant evil of society. B. Only artists can appreciate the beauty of loneliness. C. It is hard to find a solution to social loneliness. D. Loneliness is just a normal part of our life.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ How to Communicate With a Deaf Person Communicating with a deaf person doesn’t have to be as difficult as it might seem.

The people who lived on the pretty streets near Gates Avenue were making gardens, painting their houses and getting their lawn mowers ready for the summer. But Gates Avenue continued to look dirty and ugly.‎ Gates Avenue was a short street. But it seemed long because it was so ugly. It had no pavement and no streetlight. The railway at one end of Gates Avenue added noise and dirt.‎ Most of the little girls in the school near Gates Avenue wore pretty new clothes that spring. But the little girl from Gates Avenue wore the same dirty dress that she had worn all winter. ‎ Her teacher sighed. The little girl was so nice！She always worked hard in school；she was always polite and friendly. But her face was dirty and her hair was untidy.‎ One day the teacher said, “Will you wash your face before you come to school tomorrow morning? Please do that for me.” The teacher could see that girl was pretty under the dirt.‎ The next morning the child's pretty face had been washed. Her hair was clean and tidy, too.‎ ‎ Before the little girl went home that afternoon, the teacher said，“Now, dear, please ask your mother to wash your dress.”‎ But the little girl continued to wear the dirty dress. “Her mother is probably not interested in her，”the teacher thought. So she bought a bright blue dress and gave it to the little girl. The child took the present and hurried home as fast as she could.‎ The next morning she came to school in the new blue dress, and she was clean and tidy. She told the teacher, “My mother was surprised when she saw me this morning in my new dress. My father wasn't at home；he had gone to work. But he will see me at supper this evening.”‎ Paragraph 1： ‎ When her father saw her in the new blue dress, he was surprised to find that he had a pretty little girl.____________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2：‎ ‎  After supper the mother started to clean the floors. __________________________________ ‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 听力部分（每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎1-5 ACBBA 6-10 BCCAB 11-15 AABBC 16-20 CCAAB 阅读部分（每题2.5分，满分50分）‎ ‎21-23 CAB 24-27 DCAB 28-31 BCDC 32-35 CACD 36-40 AEFGD 完形填空（每题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎41-45 ABBBC 46-50 DCABC 51-55 DCDAB ‎ 语法填空（每题1，5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56. reduction 57. issued 58.

By the way, you should always remember to wear masks wherever you go.‎ I do hope you will have an unforgettable and pleasant trip there.

When the family sat down to eat supper, he was even more surprised to find a cloth on the table. The family had never used a tablecloth before. “What is the cloth for?” he asked. “We're going to be more tidy here,” his wife said. “It isn't nice to have a house that dirty and untidy when our daughter is so clean.”‎ After supper the mother started to clean the floors. Her husband watched for a little while ‎ without saying anything. Then he went outside into the backyard and began to repair the fence and started digging for a garden. During the next week, the man who lived in the next house watched what the little girl's family was doing. Then he started to paint his house for the first time in ten years. A few days later almost all the families followed suit. A few months later Gates Avenue looked like a different street. People who knew about the changes called it the “Gates Avenue Cleanup.” Who knows what miracles may happen when a teacher gives a little girl a new blue dress?‎
