For some people, small changes might help reorganize your desk or take a new route to work, whereas for others, more adjustments are required.Shift into PositivityUnlike negative emotions that bring about specific reactions, positive emotions prompt us to broaden our attention, explore our environment, and open ourselves to absorbing information. Take a few moments to think about the things in your life that are going well and for which you are grateful; this will automatically brighten your mood-and free your brain.Look as if Youve Never SeenA Zen Buddhist concept for approaching even routine situations as if you were encountering them for the first time, “beginners mind” allows you to remain open to new experiences despite any expertise you may have. For instance, when you brush your teeth, take a moment to look at the toothbrush as if youve never laid eyes on such an object and notice its color and shape. Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how your mouth feels as you move the brush back and forth.1. What may be the benefit of small changes in life?A. Reducing ones workload. B. Focusing ones attention.C. Leading to adjustments. D. Better responding to changes.2. How can you find something new in routine situation?A. By shifting into positivity. B. By respecting difference.C. By changing environments. D. By looking as if youve never seen.3. Whats the purpose of the article?A. To introduce skills of broadening ones thinking.B. To compare the attitudes to thinking.C. To give advice on thinking positively.D. To explain the reasons for being open.BWell，Im really honored and appreciate that your press has published a 10th anniversary edition of Tinkers. You know，Tinkers is actually based on the facts from my family history. The watch-night at the deathbed of George Crosby, one of the novels main characters，is also founded in the facts of my own grandfathers passing.Each step in writing the fiction was straightforward and concrete，but increasingly，the pursuit of each next logical thing led to something unanticipated and entirely unexpected. But of course, a big, early task was to figure out how to grow the story from a few factual seeds into a self-supporting work of fiction, that is, how to translate the story from what really happened to you into a literary one with your creativity.Let me show you. One day，when I got to the end of a paragraph，I was confused by how to continue. I suddenly heard someone running through his living room. Then I simply asked myself, What would have happened? I wrote about the patter ( 吧嗒声 ) lengthening and widening. I asked，What would happen next? And next? And then? I simply broke the elements of the scene and images in the most literal, concrete terms.At its best，writing feels selfless, as if the world is expressing itself and I am merely its secretary, taking dictation. The excitement of such experiences is that they produce elegance and beauty，which is a method of revelation.4.Where is the material of Tinkers mainly from?A. The writers grandparents life.B. George Crosbys personal life.C. The writers real-life experiences.D. The main characters daily routines.5.According to the author，what was primary for writing the book?A. How to make a self-convincing explanation.B. How to sow a few seeds of the story briefly.C. How to translate the work into other language.D. How to turn factual truth into a literary one creatively.6.Whats the writers point of view about writing?A. Writing a book is very difficult and selfless.B. A secretary can write a book easily.C. A writer should express the real world.D. Writing can reveal the beauty of the world.7.Where can we probably see this passage?A. An interview.B. A concert review.C. A survey.D. A novel.CThe term“smiling depression”appearing happy to others while actually suffering depressive symptomshas become increasingly popular. In fact, many people who experience a low mood and a loss of pleasure in activities manage to hide their condition in this way. And these people might be particularly easy to suicide.While smiling depression is not a technical term that psychologists use，it is certain to be depressed and manage to successfully mask the symptoms. The closest technical term for this condition is “atypical depression”. It can be very hard to spot people suffering depression because they may seem like they dont have a reason to be sad they have a job, an apartment and maybe even children or a partner. They smile when you greet them and can carry pleasant conversations. In short, they often put on a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly normal and active lives. Inside, however, they often feel hopeless and down, sometimes even having thoughts about ending it all.People with smiling depression put on a happy face to the outside world, but they can experience a lift in their mood as a result of positive occurrences in their lives. Other symptoms of this condition include overeating, feeling a sense of heaviness in the arms and legs and being easily hurt by criticism or rejection. They are also more likely to feel depressed in the evening and feel the need to sleep longer than usual. With other forms of depression, however, your mood might be worse in the morning and you might feel the need for less sleep than you are normally used to.So how can they break this circle? A starting point needs to be known that this condition actually exists and that its serious. Only when we stop ignoring our problems because we think theyre not serious enough can we start making an actual difference. Then we can find purpose by taking the attention away from ourselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that our lives matter is finally what gives us purpose and meaning and this can make a significant difference for our mental health and well-being.8.What do we know about people suffering smiling depression?A. They are wearing masks all day.B. They are difficult to get along with.C. They lead an abnormal life actually.D. Most of them commit suicide.9.What does the underlined word “atypical” in paragraph 2 mean?A. representativeB. commonC. hiddenD. formal10.Compared with smiling depression, people suffering other depressions.A. may feel sleeplessB. feel more depressed in the eveningC. are tired of heaviness in the armsD. may eat more food11.What can we do to overcome smiling depression?A.Never talk about smiling depression and ignore its existence.B.Admit the condition and pay attention to ourselves.C.Value the importance of our life and enjoy it.D.Find out the problem and place it onto somebody else.DResearchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid， making it much easier to store.Carbon capture isnt new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into liquid and then injected underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst( 催化剂 )that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is the dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode（ 焊 条 ）, which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”12. What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods?A. People have to injected liquid to the gas.B. The previous methods can be done easily.C. The previous methods are not very popular.D. People have widely accepted previous methods.13.What is the special part of the new method?A.It needs electricity to make the process efficient.B.It can be done in any kind of container.C.It doesnt need extreme temperature.D.It can produce much solid carbon.14.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The method will make fossil oil disappear.B.The method will influence the future industry.C.The method will make developed countries more powerful.D.The method will be used to make new vehicles.15.What is the best title for the passage?A. How to change carbon into CO2.B. A new carbon capture technology.C. A new technology to get useful carbon.D. Australia makes the world cleaner than before.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。These tips on how to deal with controlling parents will help you see your situation differently.Identify controlling behaviors.
