So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The plot of land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what youd call prime real estate. But it was mine.I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found itliberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.I wouldnt say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some plowshares, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Marys Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy (and eligible bachelor) from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my 2 2-ton Studebaker truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.1.When the author bought the plot of land in Shelbina, _.A.it was well equipped B.he was unsatisfied with itC.it was not a real estate D.he worked very hard on it2.The underlined word “liberating” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by the word _.A.upset B.interesting C.free D.boring3.The author regards buying the Missouri farm as a good idea because _.A.he was able to sell it at the price of $3,500B.he could recall plenty of experiences in his own farmC.he got the chance to meet his wife working at a church in Shelbina thenD.he could purchase another house in Illinois as a result of successful farming【答案】1.D 2.C 3.BBNinety percent of Americans drive to work every day althoughworking from home is on the rise. If youre lacking for topics of conversation at a party, chatting about your commute is a pretty safe bet.According to a recent study, driving for more than two hours each day can steadily decrease the IQ of middle aged drivers. The Sunday Times of London detailed the study, which looked into the lifestyle choices of over 500,000 Britons between the ages of 37 and 73.When looking at the data of the 93,000 participants who drove more than two to three hours per day, the study found a noticeable dropoff in brainpower, measured by intelligence and memory tests. The study found similar results with participants who took part in several hours similarly sedentary (久坐的) activity, like television watching.As it turns out, stimulating activity stimulates your brain, while non-stimulating activity, well, doesnt stimulate your brain.“Cognitive (认知的) decline is measurable over five years because it can happen fast in middle-aged and older people. This is associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking and bad diet and now with time spent driving,” Kishran Bakrania, a medical epidemiologist at the University of Leicester told the Times.Fortunately for most Americans, the average commute time was recorded at approximately26.5 minutesaccording to the 2015 United States Census.And if you think that the way to pump up your IQ is through brain games, think again. Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible, and if you happen to have free time on your commute,be sure to use it wisely.1.According to the passage, which of the following may be of help to our brainpower?A.Watching TV. B.Having sports.C.Driving long time D.Sleeping.2.Why does the writer mention “results with people participating in similarly sedentary activities” in para3?A.To make a contrast. B.To give an example.C.To make a description. D.To give more evidence.3.We can infer from the passage that _.A.long time drive may decrease the drivers IQB.smoking and bad diet can cause cognitive declineC.people should participate in more stimulating activitiesD.an increasing number of Americans drive to work every day【答案】1.B 2.D 3.CCIt used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan a character from James Matthew Barries 1911 book said: “All children, except one, grow up.”But this “fact” doesnt seem to apply to todays world anymore.According to the NPD Group, a US market research company, sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016, three times the pace of the childrens toy market itself. These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures. And more than half of the sales came from millennials people born between the 1980s and 2000s.“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child, one toy at a time,” commented website Koreaboo. This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as “kidults”.According to Frederique Tutt, an analyst at NPD, the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of todays fast-paced world. They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by, say, getting a promotion, which is far less easy to achieve.“It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner, a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK, told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego, which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.Despite this, some social scientists see the trend as disturbing. To Frank Furendi, a professor at the University of Kent in the UK, the fact that so many adults are pursuing “the thrills of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore”, he told The New York Times. “Thats actually quite sad.”But scientists are probably just worrying too much. According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane, collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality. “Its just pop culture stuff. Its stuff that says, I like a little of this and I like a little of that,” he told ABC News. “Its no big deal.”So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan, perhaps its time to introduce a new “fact”, as stated in the tagline (标语) of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing old is mandatory (被迫的), but growing up is optional.”1.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 imply?A.Something old is not suitable for a new world.B.Many adults still have some childlike features.C.All children grow up as they become adults.D.Its difficult for some children to grow up in todays world.2.Which of the following statements is true?A.Frederique Tutt believes that some adults enjoy playing with childrens toys to escape the stress.B.Rob Willner believes that the pleasure brought by toys is easier to achieve.C.Frank Furendi believes that the thrill of youth does not attract adults.D.Todd McFarlane is worrying too much about collecting toys.3.What is the writers attitude towards the trend of growing kidults?A.Supportive B.DoubtfulC.Critical D.Indifferent4.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Growing Old Or Growing Up B.Toys Sales On The RiseC.Staying Young Forever D.Kidults In Fashion Again【答案】1.B 2.A 3.A 4.C 第二节（共5个小题，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部分。If you dont have a travel-friendly DVD player, or you want your vacation to be spent away from the screen - bring along these games and ideas for young kids.(1) Give the kids a map and a highlighter, and have them follow the route you take.

Shared bikes bring people great convenience as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem. Hence, shared bikes should be left in public for next users. It is morally wrong that we take possession of one for our own selfish interest. I advocate raising our awareness of using shared bikes reasonably so that everyone can benefit from this service.Li Hua第2节 ：概要写作（满分25分）阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的概要。A new, first-of-its-kind study examines the connection between teacher burnout and students stress levels.Researchers from the University of British Columbia collected saliva (唾液) samples from over 400 elementary school children, grades four to seven, at 17 public schools. Cortisol (皮质醇) levels were then assessed from thesamples as the hormone isnly used as a biological indicator of stress. Correspondingly, teacher burnout was determined through survey results.Investigators found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students cortisol levels were elevated (提升). Higher cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems. The study appears in the journal Social Science & Medicine. “This suggests that stress contagion (蔓延) might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers,” said Eva Oberle, Ph.D., the studys lead author.Indeed, the relationship between student stress and teacher burnout is a chicken and egg question. “It is unknown what came first, elevate
