As a little girl, I collected dog toys. At 5 years old, I was ready and willing to run away with the family dog after the threat of giving him away when he chewed up the sofa. Luckily he stayed and my affection for mans best friend continued. As an adult, my reasons for wanting to adopt a dog were purely selfish. I wanted a companion. I wanted a young, energetic dog that would need long walks or runs to help keep me active to stick to an exercise routine.Little did I know that my four-legged friend and love for dogs would help me feel more at home in and fall in love with my Shanghai community. It seemed to me that being a tall blonde didnt already attract a lot of curious stares; add a 12-kilogram black dog that believes everyone is his best friend to the picture and locals seem even moreintrigued.The decision to adopt Xiao Hei definitely fulfilled those early selfish desires, but the experience has also brought me closer to my neighbors and made me feel more at home.A few months after I first brought Xiao Hei home, I spotted the group of elderly Chinese people who gather at the park. After realizing they go there most weeknights, I decided it would be a good way to help Xiao Hei socialize with other dogs. After a few visits, it was not only an opportunity for him to play but also a chance for me to practice my Chinese. Most Chinese give their dogs English names, but youve given him a Chinese name. Very interesting, they laughed. With that simple laugh, it seemed that barriers were broken and with each visit I felt more a part of the community.21. Why did the author want to adopt a dog? A. To practice Chinese. B. To find a companion. C.To understand Chinese culture. D. To feel at home.22. Who is likely to be the author of the text? A. A Shanghai native. B. A Chinese dog lover. C. A researcher on Chinese culture. D. A foreigner in Shanghai.23. The underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 2 probably means _. A.interested B.excited C. satisfied D. frightened24. What can be inferred from the text? A. The author is good at the Chinese language. B. The author once left home with her dog. C. The author gets along well with her neighbors. D. The author will settle in Shanghai forever.BThere are many exciting and exotic destinations around the world that wont force you to spend your life savings or max out your credit cards. The following are three amazing places to visit that you can enjoy on a shoestring budget.1. CroatiaEastern Europe has long held some of the worlds most hidden travel bargains. This remains the case today. What makes Croatia special is that its a beautiful coastal country that can be enjoyed at a much lower cost than other nearby Mediterranean destinations. One of the most interesting places to visit in Croatia is the walled city of Dubrovnik, which was built as a military fort in the Middle Ages. Another unique place worth seeing in this beautiful country is the Plitvice Lake National Park, which contains 16 connected lakes with waterfall that are surrounded by forests.2. ThailandThailand is a diverse country in Southeast Asia famous for its beaches and historic attractions. In Thailand you can enjoy the crowd of the capital city, Bangkok, or retreat(隐退) to one of the nations numerous beaches. The nation is full of magnificent Buddhist temples, some of the worlds best street food and many low-cost accommodations.3. GuatemalaOne country that is still very reasonable while offering many natural and historic attractions is Guatemala. The country is full of low-cost hotels and budget hotels and you can find tourist quality hotels at economical prices. You can also find lots of high-quality and low-cost food, much of which is found in local restaurants. You can usually find beer for less than one dollar, One of the best reasons to visit Guatemala is to see the ruins found at sites such as Tikal National Park, the site of an ancient Mayan city.25. Croatia is famous for _.A. Tikal National ParkB. the walled city of DubrovnikC. Buddhist templesD. numerous beaches26. All of the following statements are right EXCEPT _.A. all the destinations can provide economical travelB. visitors can enjoy historic attractions in the three destinationsC. more than one capital city is mentioned in the passageD. all the destinations are not in Asia27. Where is the article most likely to be taken from?A. A map.B. A science book.C. A textbook.D. A newspaper.CWhenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they dont have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the USthe doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons arent completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that dont do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons dont live up to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced. But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.28.What was the authors main purpose in writing the article?A. To analyze the functions of fake buttons.B. To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.C. To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.D. To explore peoples different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.29.What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America? A. They work when people press them hard.B. They were designed for a sense of control.C. They never speed up the door-closing process.D. They take the safety of the disabled into account.30.What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A. They help computers work faster.B. They can control the traffic signals.C. They can make people feel better.D. They help pedestrians cross safely.31. Which may be the best title for the passage?A. Buttons in the USAB. Buttons always lieC. Buttons may not workD. “Close ”buttons on liftsDAre you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many likes youve received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?Dont worry, youre not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.This is something particularly botheringyoung adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they are to be depressed(沮丧的). In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk. Some of us certainly feel sad when were ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, Its a real issue, and its been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked（上瘾的）that it takes you away from your real relationships. However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsenpre-existingissues than directly cause them.Other research by Glasgow University found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we dont want to miss out on a conversation thats taking place online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual（虚拟的）online world and connect with the real world instead.32. Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?A. People surfing the Internet regularly.B. People checking social media frequently.C. People longing for more messages.D. People receiving a few “likes ” for their posts.33. Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para.4?A. To give a more supporting example.B. To introduce the coming topic.C. To stress the importance of social media.D. to explain the cause of a social media addict.34. Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?A. Because they have more time and money.B. Because the virtual world is much more attractive.C. Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.D. Because they want to attract more attention.35.Whats the passage mainly about?A. Its common for teenagers to be a social medial addict.B. Using smartphone does harm to peoples health.C. social media addiction contributes to depression.D. Its better to stay away from the virtual online world.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。When mouth-watering food on a plate is served, do you eat it right away?36 Then you post it on your favorite social networking sites and apps. Shooting food has become a popular practice for people all over the world. Last month, The Telegraph published an article from British food photographer Hugh Johnson in which he shared tips. Read and find out how to get better at taking food pictures.Dont overcrowd the shot.37 Zoom in (用镜头拉近) on its front edge or focus on a key area, such as an egg yolk(蛋黄)or a steaks pin center, but not so closely that a viewer wont be able to tell what it is.38Natural light can always make your food photos look great. Using a flash in a darker restaurant will get rid of a lot of your foods features and colours. A plate will always look better in natural light, but when sunshine is out of the question, make sure you use as much as of the available light as possible. 39Move things around.Too many people might ruin a good shot by failing to look at the backdrop properly. Make sure all the dirty spoons and used napkins（餐巾纸）are out of sight. Double check that you havent left anything in your background that you dont want to be seen.40A. Consider the light.B. Chances are that you actually take a photo first.C. The food will sparkle in the sunshine.D. Try and use the shadow to your advantage.E. Unnatural light may ruin amazing pictures.F. Dont try and put too much in a single picture.G.
