What's great about shopping is that it relaxes us. If you are curious about what we buy the most, then take a look at our list of some best-selling consumer products in the world.‎ Coconut oil Have you already started using coconut oil? If you haven't, you will probably find a way that suits you because the beauty of coconut oil is that it is very useful. You can use it for your skin, as a lip-balm (润唇膏), makeup remover, body cream, etc. You can use it for cooking, too. This natural organic product is certainly one of the most popular products this year.‎ Bluetooth speakers Bluetooth speakers are quite popular lately, and this is due to the fact that they are easy to carry and allow you to enjoy songs from your phone or another device. You can take them anywhere you go, and that’s why they are one of the hottest selling products this year.‎ Phone power banks What can we do when there's so much to see on the Internet and so many people to talk to? In fact, we use our smartphones so much that we hardly have the time to charge them at home. That’s why we need phone power banks, which have proven to be one of the hottest selling items. This ‎ trending product will charge your phone anywhere anytime.‎ E-cigarettes E-cigarettes are the best replacement for regular cigarettes because they are supposed to be less dangerous than old-fashioned smoking. They are sometimes referred to as vaporizers(蒸发器),and they are getting more popular among people who wish to lessen the damaging effects of tobacco.‎ ‎21. What do we know about coconut oil?‎ A. It has no side effects. B. It is used to cure diseases.‎ C.It has many functions. D. It is not popular among women.‎ ‎22.

Kevin Lloyd arrived at the scene of a car accident in West Point, Utah, north of Salt Lake City. A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.‎ While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish(指甲油), and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.‎ Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.‎ The girl's mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping her daughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters' nails, and took some photos.‎ The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on Facebook, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.‎ Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud ‎ of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job.‎ After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to： the layers of polish on their nails. They bought a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it.‎ ‎24．Why was the 2-year-old girl frightened?‎ A．Her mother was badly injured. B．She was caught in an accident.‎ C．Her nails were hurt by the bottles. D．She was afraid of seeing firefighters.‎ ‎25．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word "chuckled” in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Sighed. B．Shouted. C．Laughed. D．Hugged.‎ ‎26．Which of the following can best describe the two firefighters?‎ A．Caring. B．Knowledgeable. C．Humorous. D．Courageous.‎ ‎27．What is the purpose of the text?‎ A．To ask us to learn to calm down in time of danger.‎ B．To speak highly of the warm-hearted firefighters.‎ C．To introduce the little girl who likes polishing nails.‎ D．To praise the two firefighters who learn to decorate nails.‎ C Like you and your pet dog, plants are living things: they eat, drink, and grow. Unlike you and your dog, they can't run away, use fists or teeth, or hide under the covers when they're threatened. But they can fight back.‎ Why would a plant need to fight back? To avoid being eaten, of course! Plants have several ways of protecting themselves. A plant can grow in a hidden or hard-to-get-to place. Think of plants you've seen growing on steep, rocky cliff (悬崖). Or, a plant could make only some parts of itself attractive to hungry insects and animals. For instance, if a plant produced really tasty leaves, herbivores (creatures that eat only plants) might eat the leaves instead of the seeds, which the plant needs for making more plants. Some plants have sharp or slippery (滑的) parts that discourage insects and other animals from getting too close, like the thorns(刺) on a rosebush.‎ But the most interesting way that plants fight back is by using chemicals. Plants take minerals from the soil and combine them into chemicals that do a lot of work. For example, plants produce chlorophyll(叶绿素), which helps convert sunshine and water into the sugars that plants eat.‎ They also produce chemicals to help protect themselves. One kind of tobacco plant releases a chemical into the air whenever small bugs begin to eat it. The chemical signals large bugs, saying "Dinner's ready!" The big bugs come to eat the little ones and save the plant.‎ Most plants use chemicals in a more direct way against their enemies. In other words, plants make poison.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word "convert" mean?‎ A.Produce B. Separate C. Form D. Change ‎ ‎29. What do we know from the passage?‎ A. Some plants hide under the covers when faced with threat.‎ B. A plant grows in a hard-to-get-to place to draw people's attention.‎ C. Some plants produce tasty leaves to protect their seeds.‎ D. Plants produce chemicals to meet the needs of big bugs.‎ ‎30. What may be talked about following the last paragraph?‎ A. Different effects that different plant poisons cause on plant eaters.‎ B. Different kinds of plants in the world.‎ C. Why plants make poison? ‎ D. How to protect plants?‎ ‎31. What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Plant information. B. Plant enemies. C.Plant protection. D. Plant poisons.‎ D When we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten many of us want to squeeze（挤） it. Why is that?‎ According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, it’s a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brain’s “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.‎ In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.‎ According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed(征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.‎ This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.‎ As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brain’s way of ‘bringing us back down’ by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”‎ Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute.‎ So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable( 易受伤害的) appearance may in fact help them to survive.‎ ‎32. According to the text, “cute aggression” refers to .‎ A. the emotion of wanting to protect cute things B. the task of emotion system and reward system C. the adaptation of consistently taking care of cute creatures D. the behavior of squeezing a cute baby or animal when seeing it ‎33. In nature, “cute aggression” is caused by .‎ A. the need of the brain to balance all feelings B. the photos of cute human babies and animals C. the vulnerable appearance of babies or animals D. the conflict between emotion system and reward system ‎34. Which of the following statements about the study is TRUE?‎ A. Facial expressions of the participants were observed.‎ B. Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.‎ C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.‎ D. The participants were divided into two groups in order to make comparison.‎ ‎35. What is the author's purpose in writing this text?‎ A.To present research findings on cute aggression. ‎ B. To stress the significance of cute aggression.‎ C. To persuade readers to protect cute animals. ‎ D. To share an interesting phenomenon with readers 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。‎ Breaking bad reading habits Are you eager to become a faster reader? Reading faster isn’t about finishing books without comprehension or enjoyment. ___36____To do so, you need to change some bad reading habits.‎ Avoid sounding out the words in your head. Many people sound out the words as they read — either by moving their lips or hearing the words in their head. ___37____This is because it only allows you to read the words as fast as you can say them, which isn’t very fast at all. ‎ ‎___38____Another common practice which slows down reading speed hugely is the practice of reading each individual word separately. Instead, you should try to read in chunks (语块)．‎ Overcome inefficient eye movement. When children learn how to read, they are taught to look at each word individually before moving onto the next. ___39____ Therefore, this practice makes reading a lot less efficient.‎ Avoid distractions. Many people are slow readers simply because they often read in an inappropriate environment. If you want to read quickly and absorb the material in front of you, you need to avoid all kinds of distractions. Don’t try to read in a loud environment. ___40____ Read in a quiet, peaceful environment where reading is your only focus.‎ A．Avoid reading word by word.‎ B．Don’t read the same sentence two or three times.‎ C．It won’t improve your understanding of the material.‎ D．Otherwise, you’ll find yourself getting distracted and rereading paragraphs.‎ E．However, your eyes are able to take in much more than a single word at a time.‎ F．It’s about learning to pick up the speed and still take in the information in an enjoyable way.‎ G．Although it is an effective way of teaching kids how to read, it is not beneficial to reading faster.‎ 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。‎ My family is still recovering from the hard time of the past few years.

I 45 that his dad gave me a kazoo (卡祖笛) for our first Valentine’s Day.‎ My first 46 to this gift was confusion, which quickly turned to 47 when I, a professional saxophone(萨克斯风) player, couldn’t get it to make a 48 . The kazoo eventually was 49 away and I hadn’t thought of it 50 that evening. Interested, he asked to see it. After some trouble, I found it 51 in a dusty box.‎ ‎“You couldn’t make a sound?” he asked, amazed, turning it 52 in his hands. “What’s so hard about it?”‎ ‎“I don’t know. It just never 53 ”‎ My husband grabbed (抓住) the kazoo —— “It’s 54 ! Look, you just do this …” —— and blew. 55 happened. Surprised, he tried again, only to produce a sound like an angry bee.‎ ‎ We burst into laughter as if the long-settled dark cloud had 56 and let in a ray of sunshine. Eyes met and souls 57.
