A$600B$182C$111D$636BHaving experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Francos world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.24The reason why James attempted to kill himself was that _.Aa terrible electrical accident happened to himBnobody in the whole world cared about himChe had to live in a dark and silent world Dhe was struck by the lightning once more25What was James doing when he was struck by the lightning?APutting an end to his life.BSheltering from the rain under a tree.CTaking a walk with a stick.DLying on the ground.26What does the underlined word “compellent” in Paragraph 3 mean?AGradual.BWrong.CConvincing.DTrue.27Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AWhat a Sudden ShockBA Terrible Electrical AccidentCAn Unforgettable AdventureDJames Franco and His wifeCIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the childs first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the childs development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome education unfairness.28What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program?AThe large number of poor families.BThe disapproval from children.CThe long period of time.DThe late start of the program.29What do we know about the “Missouri” program?AIt focused on the childrens first school teachers.BIt helped the children return to the same home.CIt made the children improved in many aspects.DIt gave the parents advice on their development.30According to the passage, what is likely to influence children s performance?AThe number of family members.BThe teacher-student relationship.CThe parent-child communication.DThe intelligence of their parents.31How does the author develop the passage?ABy listing figures.BBy making comparisons.CRy presenting ideas.DBy drawing conclusions.D Wellington: Huawei has started a rugby-themed media campaign in a bid to win over New Zealands public after the countrys security agency blocked the Chinese technology giants equipment from being used in a nationwide Internet network.“5G without Huawei is like rugby without New Zealand,” ads in New Zealands two largest newspapers read alongside a photo of players competing in a ball. Large posters also appeal to the countrys love of the sport. In November, New Zealands Government Communications Security Department (GCSD) told Spark it couldnt use equipment from Huawei-the worlds largest telecommunication equipment companyin the building of its 5G network because an unspecific “significant network security risk was identified”. Spark is now in the process of seeing if it can make changes to prevent those risks, although GCSD has declined to publicly say how that would happen.Huaweis newspaper ad goes on to argue the decision would mean less advanced technology and higher prices for New Zealand customers. The ads come after the company last month publicly offered to only use New Zealand, rather than Chinese, staff to build the networkin a bid to ease fearsand called for an urgent meeting with the government, denying (否认) there had been any wrongdoing.Western spy agencies have increasingly raised security concerns about HuaweiChinas largest telecommunications company-over what they say are possible links to the Chinese government, with the United States reportedly pressing Five Eyes intelligence network allies (同盟国) to avoid the company. Australia and Canada were the first countries to ban Huawei from a building of 5G networks.The company has repeatedly denied accusations.New Zealands top politicians have repeatedly denied the GCSD decision was influenced by other Western powers and say its about the particular technology being suggested, not China. They have also denied suggestions New Zealands diplomatic ties with China have been tense over the decision, with the official promotion of a major ChinaNew Zealand tourism project now postponed.32Why did Huawei make the ad?ATo ask New Zealanders for advice.BTo tell New Zealanders how powerful it is.CTo argue with the government of New Zealand.DTo get support from the public in New Zealand.33What will happen if New Zealanders force Huawei out?AThey will be blamed by Chinese.BThey will be tricked by Americans.CThey will miss advanced technology and pay more.D They will lose a chance of being stronger.34Why does GCSD refuse to state the risks clearly?AThey are secret.BThey are imaginary.CThey are difficult to decide.DThey are beyond description.35Which country plays the key role in the campaign against Huawei?AAustralia.BNew Zealand.C USA.DCanada.第二节 七选五（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。Nowadays, WeChat is about expressing our opinions and Weibo is about collecting things we like. Both of them develop our self-focus. Self-focus simply means you pay attention to how you feel, think and behave. Self-focus isnt naturally a bad thing. Particularly in individualistic (个人主义的) cultures, we value our ability to be self-aware. 36Unfortunately, when you are regularly focusing on yourself, youll notice any dissatisfaction, anxiety, or general discomfort you might not have otherwise. 37 As a result, self-focus contributes to a wide range of mental health problems like anxiety.But quitting technology is no longer a practical solution. 38 For example, dont post about things you did, which focuses your attention on yourself. Instead, you could share advice and words of support from your smart phone. As a result, youll feel better, and so will the people around you.Do you like to take selfies (自拍)? Its easy to take a quick picture of yourself to show what you re doing, or how you re feeling. But paying attention to ourselves often makes us feel worse. 39 Do your best to highlight (突出) the wonderful things that make them special. In this way, you wont focus so much on your bad hair day, and you will get along better with your friends.40 But if we can learn to move the focus off ourselves and onto doing good for others, technology can help us grow. Anyway, the point is that its up to you to handle the ability of your self-focus.AToo much self-focus means few friends.BSelf-focus is generally helpful in daily life.CIn fact, we can use technology in ways that are less self-focused.DTherefore, try taking pictures of your friends.EWe want to know who we are and why we do what we do to uncover possible ways to improve our lives.FBy bringing your attention to those negative emotions, you strengthen them.GTechnology-when used in certain ways is having negative effects on our mental health and well-being.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空（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四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or a mall.
