Encountering this situation is so uncomfortable that you would avoid meeting new people in the first place. In the past, I struggled with this and I even thought it had to do with my DNA or something Bu

11、t later I learned that once you know how to keep those words flowing, you can meet and talk to anyone you like, which helps create great possibilities for friendship, fun and shared activities that you would otherwise have missed out on.After studying this in depth, I had different opinions and foun

12、d that one of these common behaviors is the habit of filtering (过滤)-holding back from saying something until youve “checked” to make sure that what youre about to say is cool, impressive and interesting. Another problem is not learning to get in the mood for conversation. If you dont know how to cha

13、nge from subjects, then it can take a lot of time to warm up.It is the reflex (习惯性思维) that allows you to say whatever goes on in your mind. Its fun to realize that youre allowed to say whatever is on your mind. As long as you dont say anything that could land you in jail (监狱).All of the “Oh! Thats i

14、nteresting” “Hmm, Ive never heard of that” “Hmm, cool!” expressions are reactionary (保守的) bits of conversation that prove to the other person that youre really listening. This works 99% of the time. So, if you show some interest, theyll hang around and want to talk to you even more.Everyone knows th

15、at stories juice-up conversations, but most people only talk about stories of their own lives. When someone mentions something related to any of them, just tell the story, even if its not from your life. The more interesting, stranger or more frightening they are, the harder they are to forget.1、If

16、people can deal with the awkward silence, they can .Atrain their working skill Bimprove their life qualityCenrich their social life Destablish their working relationship2、When talking with others, we should .Afeel nervous Bthink twiceCbe free to express Davoid breaking in3、According to the passage,

18、ions livelierCmaking conversations smoother Dmaking conversations more relaxing22（8分） It hurts to keep secrets. Secrecy (保密) is associated with lower well-being, worse health, and less satisfying relationships. Research has linked secrecy to increased anxiety, depression, symptoms of poor health, an

19、d even the more rapid progression of disease. There is a seemingly obvious explanation for these harms: hiding secrets is hard work. You have to watch what you say.New research, however, suggests that the harm of secrets doesnt really come from the hiding after all. The real problem with keeping a s

20、ecret is not that you have to hide it, but that you have to live with it, and think about it.To better understand the harms of secrecy, researchers first set out to understand what secrets people keep, and how often they keep them. They found that 97% of people have at least one secret at any given

21、moment, and people have, on average, 13 secrets.Across several studies, researchers asked participants to estimate how frequently they hid their secret during conversations with others, and also how frequently they thought about the secret outside of social interactions. They found that the more fre

22、quently people simply thought about their secrets, the lower their well-being.Following up this research, a new paper reveals why thinking about secrets is so harmful. Turning the question around, the consequences of telling secrets are examined. Researchers found that when a person reveals a secret

23、 to a third party, it does not reduce how often they have to hide the secret from others who are still kept in the dark. Rather, it reduces how often their mind wanders toward the secret in irrelevant moments.Therefore, if you choose to still keep something secret, talking to another person can make

24、 the world of difference. Secrets dont have to hurt as much as they do.1、Which is not one of the harms of keeping secrets?ABeing physically sick.BMental problems.CHarmed relationships.DHiding somewhere.2、Why is keeping secrets so harmful?ABecause you must hide them.BBecause you often think about the

25、m.CBecause its difficult to keep secrets.DBecause you must watch what to say.3、How can people reduce the harm of keeping secrets?ABy working hard.BBy keeping 13 secrets.CBy thinking about the secrets.DBy telling secrets to a third person.4、Which is the text probably taken from?AAn advertisementBA re

26、search reportCA biology textbook.DA travel brochure.23（8分）I visited Copenhagen for the first time last Easter. As a student，Im always strapped for cash，so I assumed I could only afford to breathe the air but luckily everything about Copenhagen is breathtaking.I was staying in an Airbnb, and rented a

27、 bike so I could cover more ground. One of the first places I visited was the Rundetaarn, or “round tower” built in the 17th century as an astronomical observatory. It has an equestrian staircase (a wide set of stairs big enough for horses to use) that went on and on. As I was going up, I stopped to

28、 visit the towers library hall. At the top, theres a glass platform that gives a view 80-foot straight down, as well as a bell loft. Luckily, the views over Copenhagen from the top were well worth the climb.After coming down, I hiked up to the Kastellet Fortress to see the famous Little Mermaid stat

29、ue. Taking a photo with her was almost impossible with all the tourists crowding aroundbut sitting there and hearing the lapping waves of the deep blue Baltic Sea, waiting for the sun to set, was an unforgettable and calming experience.The next day, I visited the Glyptotek art museum, exploring the

30、grand exhibits. I looked into the marble eyes of many Roman gods, and walked down dimly lit staircases to see mummies from Egypt.Before I unwillingly boarded the train back to the airport, I told myself that I must visit againto experience the thrills of Tivoli Gardens, try more of the street food a

31、nd everything else from this amazing city.1、Why did the author rent a bike?ABecause she loved to ride a bike.BBecause she didnt afford to rent a car.CBecause she found nowhere to rent other vehicles.DBecause she wanted to see as many attractions as possible.2、What did the author find difficult at th

33、riting the text?ATo remember a holiday.BTo introduce a new attraction.CTo share her travel experience.DTo show her love of Copenhagen.24（8分）Time TravelIf you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeares play in Elizabethan England? What

34、about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe youd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is sci

35、ence fiction novel. The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popular

36、ization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term time machine, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scienti

37、sts say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einsteins theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a re

38、ally fast spaceship going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his ow

39、n grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasnt born, how would he travel back in time?And would you really like to visit the future? In H.G. Wells book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is at

40、tacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).If thats whats in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.1、The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show _.Athe con

42、rities in many way3、In Paragraph 4, “grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that _.Athe traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherBthe grandfathers death makes the travelers birth impossibleCthe traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfatherDthe reunion of the traveler and

43、his grandfather brings happiness4、According to the passage, what is probably the authors attitude towards time travel?ASkeptical.BUnclear.CSupportive.DUnconcerned.25（10分） Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metal cylinder (圆柱体) rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bel

44、l jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the rooms three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Th

45、en it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic.

46、 It is the defining mass (质量)against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual na

47、tions weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement based on electric current in order to define the mass of an object.

48、 The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned.“One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the worlds metric weights system. Th

49、ere would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredien

50、ts that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram,” says Robinson. “We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy.”1、What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?AIts cared for with great devotion.BIts used in religious

51、ceremonies.CIts beautifully designed and decorated.DIts the most valuable metal in the world.2、Which of the following best explains “dethroned” underlined in paragraph 5?ArebuiltBremovedCdestroyedDupgraded3、What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?ATo protect the metal cylinder from damage.BTo

52、 make taking measurements more economical.CTo provide all countries with the same standard.DTo satisfy the increasing demand for exactness.4、What can be a suitable title for the text?ANo more kilosBA heavy technologyCThe future of the kiloDThe history of measures第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下
