Only seven of these splendid watches were ever made and these watches were almost lost to history. Today, it is so hard to get an original watch that some watch historians are even willing to offer $200, 000 for one.‎ These watches attracted a lot of people for their splendid color, fashionable style, and new uses in the 1920s. The owners of the watches were admired and set apart from the crowd. Because the number of the original watches is very limited, owning such a watch will make you feel very special.‎ Today, you are offered the same kind of watch with improvement. It has a 24-jewel mechanical movement, the kind desired by watch collectors. The watchmaker has made the movement of the watch much more modern with an automatic rotor so that the watch never needs to be wound by hand. The watch comes in a very beautiful case with a crocodile design on it. To get a watch in such a perfect design means to get a chance to know a piece of watch-making history and to wear such a watch will show your personal taste and social position.‎ You can get the watch either in person or by mail at an affordable price. You will also receive good service from the watch seller. If you are not satisfied with the watch after you get it, you may simply return it within 30 days. Don’t miss the chance to realize your dream.‎ ‎21. The original automatic watches are valuable because .‎ A. the watches were made many years ago B. only rich people can afford the watches C. only a few watches of the kind were made D. the watches were made by a Swiss watchmaker ‎22. Watch collectors want to get the improved watch, especially for its .‎ A. new uses B. mechanical movement C. fashionable style D. splendid color ‎ ‎23. The passage is probably taken from a .‎ A. science book B. report C. text book D. magazine ‎ B Nowadays, many parents are so busy that they seldom have family meals with their children. But this is wrong.‎ A Harvard study found that families that eat together are twice as likely to eat their five servings of fruits and vegetables a day as families who don't eat together. Families also eat less fried food when they eat together. Finally, children who regularly eat with family have diets higher in fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins B6, B12, C and E.‎ During family meals, parents can set a good example of healthy eating that children may follow. They also display polite table manners. Family meals teach children important skills.‎ When a family eats together, kids can learn about nutrition and healthy eating. In many studies of schoolaged children, those who eat family meals have a higher level of nutrition knowledge.‎ When a family eats together, kids learn about food safety, like hand washing before eating.‎ Children who have company at meals are slimmer than those who eat alone. That's because they eat less, eat more slowly, and talk more. This is a good way to deter obesity in children.‎ Family meals can help children build vocabulary. Studies showed kids who ate with their families performed better at school and had a broader vocabulary. Family meals offer an opportunity for conversations where kids learn vocabulary—building words to help them read and communicate better.‎ Children gain a better sense of belonging within the family when they eat together with their parents at home. Family meals offer a time for a family to come together as a group and develop a feeling of belonging. That sense of belonging leads to better selfesteem.‎ In conclusion, family meals are very important.‎ ‎24．The writer wants to tell us that .‎ A．it's desirable for children to eat more regularly B．enjoying family meals is equal to eating a big and delicious dinner C．eating together with family is a good chance to teach children　‎ D．it's more advantageous for children to eat with their families ‎ ‎25．Which of the following statements is NOT true?‎ A．Family meals can make children form the good habit of eating.‎ B．Having a company meal is easy to become fatter and fatter.‎ C．In the mealtime, parents should set a good example of healthy eating.‎ D．Family meals can help children with a higher level of nutrition knowledge.‎ ‎26．What does the underlined word “deter” in Paragraph 6 mean?‎ A．Prevent.　　　　　 B．Improve. C．Find. D．Replace.‎ ‎27．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．How to raise children well. B．How to eat in a healthy way.‎ C．Why family meals are important. D．Why family is important to kids.‎ C Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free. ‎ Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in. ‎ As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs."‎ But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.‎ In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or ‎ "sponsored content".‎ But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product? The motivations are not so clear cut The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.‎ Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.‎ ‎"With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says.‎ ‎28. What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage?‎ A. Post to promote sales. B. Give enough likes.‎ C. Recommend some comments. D. Design advertisements.‎ ‎29. What makes consumer rights groups feel worried?‎ A. Sponsored ads content. B. Ads with caption on posts.‎ C. The increasingly growing number of audiences. D. The unclear motivations of the posts. ‎ ‎30. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer?‎ A. Annoyed. B. Ambitious. C. Delighted. D. Depressed.‎ ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title?‎ A. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star B. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It ‎ C. We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand D. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee D Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.‎ One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.‎ In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.‎ The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule ‎ that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.‎ The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.‎ ‎32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?‎ A. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.‎ B. People remember well what they learned in childhood.‎ C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.‎ D. Stories for children are easy to remember.‎ ‎33. The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.‎ A. using examples B. presenting research findings ‎ C. making a comparison D. setting down general rules ‎34. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Commonly accepted rules. B. School subjects.‎ C. Things easily forgotten. D. The multiplication tables.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?‎ A. It’s possible to result in poor memory. B. It leads to failure in college exams.‎ C. It’s helpful only in a limited way. D. It increases students’ learning interest.‎ 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A good laugh is like a mild workout. It exercises the muscles, gets the blood flowing, decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system. 36 ‎ Don’t take life too seriously. We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes. ‎37 In fact, if you can laugh light-heartedly at your own fault, you’ll find that you give yourself that extra happiness and confidence increase that can get you over any obstacle.‎ Find the humor in a bad situation. Sure , there are some situations where you are really sad. 38 The next time you feel the stress levels rising, take a minute to think about the funny side of the situation and laugh over the things you cannot control. This will lower your blood pressure, blood sugar levels and heart rate.‎ Remind yourself of funny moments from the past. Perhaps a friend told you a great joke the other day or your children or pets did something amusing. 39 . Sometimes just reliving a funny moment can cause the endorphins (内啡肽), natural painkillers, to kick in.‎ ‎40 . As the saying goes, laughter is contagious(会传染的）. So make a point of seeking out positive people who aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at ‎ finding humor in life’s situations. Young children are especially skilled at finding laughter and joy in everyday moments.‎ A. Surround yourself with fun people who like to laugh a lot.‎ B. The following are some ways to enjoy more laughter and joy in your life.‎ C. Studies show that people with pets have lower levels of depression and stress.‎ D. Take control over your emotions.‎ E. There is no reason to blame yourself for it.‎ F. Call on these memories frequently, especially when feeling sad, angry or stressed.‎ G. However, most situations in life have funny sides.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分）‎ 第一节 （共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know where she’s been during her great worldwide vacation in a(n) 41 way.‎ The traveler, who was 42 with a bone disease, had her right leg 43 at the age of four. 44 the amputation (截肢) caused hardships for Gallagher early on, she, at the age of 22 now, 45 it as an inspiration for making the 46 of her life.‎ To spread that 47 , Gallagher has 48 to social media, 49 she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of 50 using a geotag (地理标签), she draws her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.‎ Now she has been taking pictures 51 Europe. “I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden 52 that my new leg could be used as a blackboard,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother weren’t too 53 the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”‎ Gallagher said people often stare when she’s 54 on her leg, but once she shares the photos, she 55 only praise and encouragement. “My leg hasn’t 56 me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do,” she said. “I don’t know 57 it is my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but anyhow, I’ve been able to 58 up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”‎ Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the 59 of your dream.
