Read our final choices last year below. After reading these, head over to Facebook and submit your own story to Reader’s Digest. 1. WINNER: $1000 Lynne Momple South Africa Mavis took one end and I the other and together we carefully moved the old bed through the bedroom door and the open balcony doors. We lifted it over the balustrade(扶手)into the hands of family members waiting below. Carrying it under the low Albizia branches, then past the loses, they gently put it down in the middle of the freshly mown lawn. Chantelle carried out the cotton sheets, the embroidered pillows, and finally the multi-coloured blanket her great-grandmother had knitted for me. Tonight on her 90th birthday my mother wants to sleep out under the stars. WHAT THE JUDGES SAID: “We thought this story had a strong visual impact thanks to the rich selection of words.

Yet neither one forgot. “It’s time for you to marry. ”Cope’s father said one day.“I have chosen a girl.” “I hope she’s sweet.”Cope prayed. Later, he lifted her veil(面纱).“Meera, it’s you!” “I guess I’m still one step ahead!”Meera smiled. WHAT THE JUDGES SAID: “This entry tells a complete story.

It is a classic comedy. D. It is a romantic story. B What exactly is intelligence? There aren’t any easy answers. Despite the progress that has been made in genetics and psychology, human intelligence has remained one of the most controversial areas of modern science,until now, that is, for the discovery of a gene linked to intelligence has made the experts think again. Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in those with a high IQ. Plomin analyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children in the higher group had the gene in question, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that contribute to intelligence, rather than just one. Several studies have shown a strong link between IQ and career success, although some psychologists remain unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has written a book called Genius Explained, is one of these. “The people with the highest IQs are not usually the ones who do best in their careers.” Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn’t everything. Many alternative views have been put forward recently. One example is the idea of multiple intelligences, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broader view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as relevant factors in intelligence. Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geniuses do indeed appear to combine high levels of each type of intelligence. He lists Alexander the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein as examples. At the same time, Buzan believes that everyone can develop their intelligence, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there’s hope for us all! 24. What is the topic of the passage? A. The relationship between genes and intelligence. B. IQ benefits a lot from high intelligence. C. How to develop intelligence. D. What makes intelligence. 25. What can we learn from the passage? A. Robert Plomin confirms genes have something in common. B. Howard Gardner thinks intelligence includes various elements. C. Michael Rowe approves of a strong link between IQ and career. D. Tony Buzan is a follower of Howard Gardner as a psychologist. 26. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The development of intelligence. B. The idea of multiple intelligences. C. IQ isn’t everything for intelligence. D. Alternative views have been put forward. 27. Which of the following might Tony Buzan agree with? A. People with a different gene are often more successful. B. People with high IQ have a tendency to be more creative. C. With more practice in brains, people can be more intelligent. D. Intelligence is made up of creativity and communication skills. C Rumors: we’ve all heard some and we’ve all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they circulate differently because the way we share information has also changed. The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We don't enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don't have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled (掩饰的) messages. Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish defining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the initial rumor. Another property of rumors is that they tend to become viral. Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone of transmitting it also changes it. How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from communicating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor. One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unable to defend themselves. That's why we say, “history is always told by the victors.” The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victor’s version of the story. 28. What can we learn about rumors? A. We have all heard some and believed them. B. We’re happy to be the receiving end of them. C. They may have negative influence on society. D. They often hide good intentions in the messages. 29. How are rumours like trees? A. Rumours keep changing, just as trees change their colour. B. Rumours are deeply rooted in reality, like tree roots in the earth. C. New rumours have gaps, like the space between tree branches. D. New rumours grow out of the original, like branches out of a trunk. 30. What does the underlined word “'viral” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Something easily spread. B. Something acceptable. C. Something easily defended. D. Something beneficial. 31. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. It is easy to prevent people from spreading rumors. B. People are often active in judging the rumors critically. C. We should think about the hidden message of the rumors. D. Stories told by the victors are usually better worth trusting. D It started during a yoga class. She felt a strange pull on her neck, a feeling completely foreign to her. Her friend suggested she rush to the emergency room. It turned out that she was having a heart attack. She didn't share similar symptoms with someone who was likely to have a heart attack. She exercised, watched her plate and did not smoke. But on reviewing her medical history, I found that her cholesterol (胆固醇) level was sky-high. She had been prescribed a cholesterol-lowering statin (他汀) medication, but she never picked up the prescription because of the scary things she had read about statins on the Internet. She was the victim of fake medical news. While misinformation has been the object of great attention in politics, medical misinformation might lead to an increase in deaths. As is true with fake news in general, medical lies tend to spread further than truths on the Internet and they have very real bad consequences. False medical information can also lead to patients experiencing greater side effects through the “nocebo effect” (反安慰剂效应). Sometimes patients benefit from an intervention (干预) simply because they believe they will -- that's the placebo effect (安慰剂效应). The nocebo effect is the opposite. Patients can experience harmful effects because they anticipate them. This is very true of statins. In blinded trials, patients who get statins are no more likely to report feeling muscle aches than patients who get a placebo. Yet, in clinical practice, according to one study, almost a fifth of patients taking statins report side effects, leading many to discontinue the drugs. What else is on the fake news hit list? As always, vaccines (疫苗). False concerns that the vaccine may cause side effects have greatly reduced coverage rates. Cancer is another big target for pushers of medical misinformation -- many of whom refuse alternative therapies. “Though most people think cancer tumors are bad, they’re actually the way your body attempts to contain the harmful cells,” one fake news story reads. It warns that prescription medications lead to the uncontrolled cell mutations (变异). Silicon Valley needs to face this problem. I am not a free-speech lawyer, but when human health is at risk, perhaps search engines, social media platforms and websites should be held responsible for promoting or hosting fake information. Meanwhile, journalists should do a better job of spreading accurate information. 32. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ______. A. the woman paid little attention to her daily diets B. the unhealthy lifestyle might lead to the woman's heart attack C. the symptom of the heart attack was familiar to the woman D. the woman didn't take the prescription due to fake medical news 33. According to the passage, the placebo effect functions because patients ______. A. neglect necessary treatment B. discontinue the harmful drugs C. believe the benefits of an intervention D. suffer more side effects 34. What does the author mean by claiming that "he is not a free-speech lawyer" in the last paragraph? A. He is a lawyer very easy to speak to. B. He is good at speaking because of his job. C. He is available to give a speech on the law. D. He is very cautious when speaking something. 35. The main purpose of the passage is to ______. A. remind us to take medication as prescribed B. warn us against fake medical news on the Internet C. encourage journalists to report more positive news events D. teach us how to distinguish fake medical news on the Internet 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。 ____36____ While these compulsive(无法控制的) actions may appear to be irrational or pointless, and may even result in negative consequences, the individual experiencing the compulsion feels unable to stop him or herself. The compulsive behavior can be a physical act, like hand washing, or a mental activity, like counting objects. When an otherwise harmless behavior becomes so consuming that it negatively impacts oneself or others, it may be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)(强迫症). ____37____ The former is an overwhelming desire to do something, while an addiction is a physical or chemical dependence on a substance or behavior. People with addictions will continue their addictive behavior, even when they understand that doing so is harmful to themselves and others. ____38____ Unlike compulsions and addictions, which are acted out uncontrollably, habits are actions that are repeated regularly and automatically. Habits typically develop over time through a natural process called “habituation,” during which repetitive actions that must be consciously initiated eventually become subconscious and are carried out habitually. While there are good habits and bad, unhealthy habits, any habit can become a compulsion or even an addiction. ____39____ For example, the good habit of exercising regularly can become an unhealthy compulsion or addiction when done to excess. Common habits often develop into addictions when they result in a chemical dependency, as in the cases of smoking. The habit of having a glass of beer with dinner, for example, becomes an addiction when the desire to drink turns into a physical or emotional need to drink. ____40____ While we can choose to add good, healthy habits to our routines, we can also choose to break old harmful habits. A. A compulsion is different from an addiction. B. In other words, you really can have “too much of a good thing.” C. It currently affects about 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in the U.S.. D. Some of these behaviors are visible actions while others are mental behaviors. E. Alcoholism, smoking, and gambling are perhaps the most common examples of addictions. F. Compulsive behaviors are actions that a person feels “compelled” or driven to do over and over again. G. Of course, the key difference between a compulsive behavior and a habit is the ability to choose to do them or not. 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节,满分40分) 第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) I learned about life from an ant farm.

In this article we will learn about some positive factors for people to share information online. We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain or pleasantly surprise them. In this way we can connect with others. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc. 94% of those who responded to a survey by the New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others. A lot of people share information online to represent their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with like-minded individuals. 78% of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person and the Internet has become a great substitute. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs. Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively engaging with the vast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 第二节:读后续写 (满分20分) 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。 Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited! After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester (护林人) worked. Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work. Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped (包裹) aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams. The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was abruptly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed (倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt. 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好; 4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.

(要点3) People also meet each other online to keep in touch with friends instead of traditional ways.(要点4) Quite a few people share their thoughts online hoping to influence others’ viewpoints in a positive way.(要点5) 读后续写 One possible version: Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sitting in the cold air and wondering how to get out of the forest. Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend and equal, rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.查看更多
