Trust us, and your brain will thank you. Not only does reading increase the amount of daily pleasure in your life, but it could also delay dementia (痴呆) and even help you live longer.But still, picking the perfect novel isnt easy. Thankfully, Business Insider asked a Harvard professor to recommend the one book he thinks every student should read in 2019and we suggest adding it to your list, too. (No time for all the books on your list? Heres a shortcut: Read the endings to some of the worlds most famous books, instead.)Steven Pinker, Professor of Psychology at Harvard, recommends The Internationalists by legal scholars Hathaway and Shapiro. The book makes a surprising statement that the Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact (条约) of 1928, which declared war illegal, has caused a steady drop in war throughout history.“But in their fascinating and evidence-rich book, they make a lifelike case,” Pinker said. “And like The Clash of Civilizations and The End of History, the book presents a sweeping vision (视野) of the international scene, making sense of many developments in the news and recent history.”Other professors at Harvard recommended classics like Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, as well as Just Mercy by Stevenson, The Theory of Moral Sentiments by Adam Smith, and Robot-Proof by Joseph Aoun.So, go ahead and give (at least) one of these books a read in 2019! And while youre at it, you should add the following 20 books you really should have read by now to your list, too21Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “shortcut” in the 2nd paragraph?AA time-saving way to read books.BA lazy persons way to read books.CA quick way to know about endings of books.DA wise way to deal with too many books to read.22What or who has reduced the number of wars throughout history?AThe Paris Peace Pact.BThe Internationalists.CHathaway and Shapiro.DA wide vision of the international scene.23What may be written in the next or last paragraph of the passage?AMore advice on reading books.BThe names of the 20 books recommended.CThe main contents of the 20 books recommended.DThe brief introduction of the 20 books recommended.B A British friend told me he couldnt understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much. “Ive met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe thats from cracking the seeds,” he said.I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever Im watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesnt like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Years Eve to check out what every household was making.I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.I dont think its right to criticize ones choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.Its not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think its a delicacy(美味佳肴), and its connected to their certain culture. I think its a wonderful tradition.24What did the writer become aware of?AShe had ever typed a report about seeds.BShe had various snacks while watching TV.CShe damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.DShe had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.25What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?AThe traditions of celebrating it disappear.BEating sunflower seeds is related to it.CThe families get together for it.DChildren can eat delicious food on that day.26The writers attitude to Denmarks way of eating bread is _.Aneutral (中立的)Bcritical (批评的)CacceptableDdoubtful27What lesson can we learn from the story?AOne kind of food doesnt necessarily suit everyone.BIt is good to form healthy eating habits.CEating habits come from a certain culture.DChanging your eating habits will change your life.C Parents have worked hard to teach the most important life lessons to their babies. They remind kids to eat with a knife and fork, and not to make noises in public. But theres one important lesson that parents might forget, and it cant be covered in a simple conversation. In fact, theyd better teach kids by example.According to a study, babies receive more than genes（基因）from their parents. They can also absorb good qualities, such as persistence, by watching how adults behave. Researchers at MIT said that babies who watched an adult struggling with and then succeeding in something were more likely to show persistence when given a new task.The team at MIT studied 262 babies between the ages of 13 and 18 months. They were divided into three groups. In the first group, the lead researcher struggled with two different toys problems before solving them, letting the babies watch when she did so. In the second group, the researcher solved the problems but did not struggle with them. And for the third group, she did not do anything.After that, the researcher left the children playing with a small musical toy. She showed the babies that it could play music but did not teach them how to turn it on. The babies in the first group discovered and pressed the toys button many more times than those in the last two groups. In other words, the babies did not copy what they had watched; they learned not to give up, instead.Now researchers are interested in exploring which ways influence babies most. They wonder if the results can work in the real world, and whether the lesson of persistence might last into adulthood. After all, persistence is one of the most important qualities of the successful people.28What does the underlined part “one important lesson” in Paragraph 1 refer to?ABehaving politely in public.BSetting an example to kids.CUsing a knife and fork properly.DTeaching kids necessary life skills.29How did the team at MIT mainly carry out the study?ABy doing a research.BBy playing with kids.CBy analyzing some facts.DBy interviewing babies.30What can be learned from the study?AKids in the first group turned on the musical toy. BKids could copy the same behavior of the researcher.CThe first group kids tried more times to turn on the toy.DKids in the last two groups had the same performance.31Which of the following would the author agree with?AParents should spend more time with babies.BParents should pay attention to their behavior.CPersistence is an important quality for parents.DBabies should be taught social skills from birth.DIt happens from time to time: you feel terrible when you take your first bite of a certain food, but after eating more, you find yourself enjoying it. This is what is called an acquired taste. But why do our tastes change?The answer, according to a recent study presented at an American Chemical Society meeting in Boston, lies in proteins in our saliva (唾液).Most of us tend to think saliva, almost entirely made up of water, is “only a mouth lubricant (润滑剂) helping us to swallow food,” the New York Times said. However, it also contains many proteins, which can help break food down, protect our teeth and help in tasting food.To explain how these proteins affect taste, a team of scientists from Purdue University in the US invited 64 volunteers to drink a bitter-tasting chocolate milk three times a day for six weeks and rated their tastes at the same time.According to the research, the participants found a strong bitterness on the first day, but the unpleasant flavor came to decrease as time went on and finally disappeared.That is not all that was changing. A noticeable increase in the levels of proline-rich (富含脯氨酸的) proteins was found in the saliva samples of the test subjects in the research period. These proteins serve to reduce the bitterness we taste and improve our adaptation to this flavor.“We think the body adapts to reduce the negative feeling of these bitter compounds,” said Cordelia Running, a food scientist at Purdue University. “Saliva changes flavor, which in turn changes eating choices.”This change in taste not only makes the food tastier, but also helps people keep an appetite for healthy food whose flavor might otherwise keep them away.One day, these proteins may even be extracted (提炼) and used as a separate food additive that could help people stick to healthy food whose flavor they continue to dislike, researchers told Science Alert. And according to Running, even it doesnt happen, the idea that “maybe some little piece of your body is actually trying to help you” could really benefit some people. Lets wait and see.32What does the underlined phrase “an acquired taste” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AThe appetite for healthy food.BA mouth lubricant helping to swallow the food.CSomething that tastes very delicious at first bite.DA preference that is only formed after great repetitions.33What contributes to the changes of our taste?AOur negative feelings of food. BOur adaptation to this flavor.CThe proteins in our saliva. DThe flavor of the food.34Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?ASaliva consists of many proteins besides water.BThe unpleasant flavor will increase with time going on.CA separate food additive has been extracted from the proteins.DProteins have nothing to do with the changes of our taste.35What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThere will be bitter candy in the future.BYou can change the flavor as you like in the future.CThe researches will go on studying these proteins.DIt wont be long before we can make unhealthy food healthy. 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。 Experts have recently found that making conversation plays an essential part in connecting with people and building closer relationships. Although most people can hold a conversation, only a few are smooth when they talk. If you have dreamed about being a good talker, or you just want to make some change, then listen up!Talk slowlyGenerally, good talkers dont rush into a conversation. 36 They act as if they have all the time in the world. This makes them come off as centered and collected. Model this way of talking and you will create the same effect.Hold more eye contactMost people keep eye contact about 2/3 of the time or less when they talk. 37 This will convey confidence and interest in interacting with them.38People with good conversation skills are more likely to notice the kind of things that the average person doesnt notice, and to bring such details into the conversation. They may notice and point out an interesting ring on the other persons hand, a certain foreign accent, or a certain voice tone they use when saying a name. All these details help to leave a deep impression.Express Your emotions39 Express your feelings about those facts. Keep in mind that it is at the emotional (情感) level that people connect best.Use the best wordsThe ability to talk smoothly has a lot to do with choosing the precise(精确的) words to convey your precise feelings or thoughts. 40 It will help you develop a way with words and allow you to express yourself more easily.Conversational skills dont improve just like that. It takes time, practice and the ability to learn at a rapid rate from your own experiences.A Notice the details.B Offer interesting news.C Improve conversational skills.D Dont just present the factsyoure not a newspaper.E. Its a very good idea to hold eye contact just a bit more than that.F. Develop your vocabulary and practice communicating as accurately as possible.G. They take their time when they think over something and when they say it out loud.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。It has always been my dream to attend college.
