Long-term low self-esteem can cause depressionLow self-esteem makes us feel bad
17、 about ourselves. But did you know that over time it also can cause the development of serious mental conditions such as depression?Self-esteem is, very simply, he set of feelings you have about yourself. Its developed by your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and relationships. (21) _ self-knowledge
18、, which refers to how much you know about yourself, self-esteem is formed around whether you like yourself or not. Depression is much more than just feeling sad. It drains your energy and makes everyday activities difficult. Doctors use low self-esteem as one possible symptom (22) _ they diagnose th
19、e mental condition of major depressive disorder. They dont necessarily care (23) _ low self-esteem causes the depression or vice versa. However, personality researchers have long wondered about the chicken-and-egg problem of self-esteem and depression. Certainly, if you dislike yourself, youll be mo

The only way that (25) _ (employ) to explore the highly related concepts of self-esteem and depression is through continuous research, (26) _ _ people are followed up over time. A stud

24、olution J. engaged K. impacting Put down the phone and live in the momentHave you ever unintentionally left your phone at home and wondered how you would get through the day? Baylor College of Medicines Dr. Jin Han explains why this might be a sign that you need to put down your phone more often. “T
25、here has been a(n) _31_ in technology as our phones have gone from just regular cell phones to smart phones that allow you to multitask all with one device,” said Han, assistant professor at Baylor. “You use your phone now to receive emails, to text and chat and to access social media platforms - _3
26、2_ your phone may be your connection to your social life.”Although they offer many advantages, Han cautions that using your smart devices can be harmful if you use them too much. For example, using your smart phone while driving, or even walking, can cause serious accidents. Also, staring at your sc
27、reen for too long can be harmful to your _33_. Being _34_ too long to your phone also can impact the quality of your relationships, he said. If you are on your phone constantly and not _35_ with those around you, it can take away from your relationships with your family and friends. In addition, if
28、you are using your phone too much in front your children, then they will likely follow your lead and use their own smart devices rather than _36_ with you. “ In the end, the question is how you balance using your phone while not negatively _37_ your health.” Han said. “Anything that you are doing to
29、 the _38_ is no healthy anymore. While it is going to be almost impossible not to use this technology, we have t create a behavior that is healthy.”To help _39_ the time you spend on your phone, Han offered the following tips: l Limit the time spent on your phone: Set up certain time that you allow
30、yourself to be on the phone. l Do not use your phone at night: Being on your phone late into the night can make it harder for you to fall asleep and wake up the next day. Restricting your phone use at night can help you _40_ a healthy sleep behavior. . Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For
31、each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The scent of coffee appears to enhance performance in mathDrinking coffee has benefits. _41_ the physical improvement, coffee may reduce ou
32、r risk of heart disease. Coffee may even help us live longer. Now, research also reveals that the scent（气味）of coffee may help people perform better on the analytical portion of the Graduate Management Aptitude Test, or GMAT, a computer adaptive test _42_ by many business schools. The work, led by fa
33、mous professor Adriana Madzharov, not only _43_ the hidden force of scent and the cognitive（认知）improvement it may provide on analytical tasks, but also expectation that students will perform better on those tasks. Madzharov, with his colleagues, recently published their findings. “Its not just that
34、the coffee-like scent helped people perform better on analytical tasks, which was already _44_,” says Madzharov. “But they also thought they would do better, and we demonstraded that this expectation was at least partly _45_ their improved performance.” _46_, smelling a coffee - like scent, which ha
35、s no caffeine in it, has an effect similar to that of drinking coffee, suggesting a placebo（安慰剂）effect of coffee scent. Madzharovs team tested 100 undergraduate business students, divided into two groups, with GMAT algebra questions. One group took the test in the _47_ of a coffee - like scent, whil
36、e a control group took the same test - but in an unscented room. They found that the group in the coffee-smelling room scored significantly higher on the test. Madzharovs team wanted to know more. Could the first groups performance in quick thinking be explained, in part, by an expectation that a co
37、ffee scent would increase _48_ and consequently improve performance?The team designed a follow-up survey, conducted among more than 200 new participants, quizzing them on _49_ about various scents and their effects on human performance. Participants believed that they would feel more alert and energ
38、etic in the presence of a coffee scent, in contrast with a flower scent or no scent; and that _50_ to coffee scent would increase their performance on mental tasks. The results suggest that _51_ about performance can be explained by beliefs that coffee scent alone makes people more alert and energet
39、ic. Madzharov is now looking to explore whether coffee-like scents can have a(n) _52_ placebo effect on other types of performance, such as verbal reasoning. She also says that the finding - that coffee - like scent acts as a placebo for analytical reasoning performance - has many practical _53_, in
40、cluding several for business. “Sense of smelling is one of our most powerful senses,” says Madzharov. “Employers, architects, building developers, retail space managers and others, can use scents to help _54_ employees or occupants experience with their environment. Its an area of great interest and

44、Directions: Read the following three passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)People generally
45、see themselves through achievements. In doing that, they end up caring more about their image than the reality of who they actually are. Rather than their work doing the talking, they end up defining themselves by external markers that they hope will earn them respect. The problem with this is that
46、it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure. For example, one day, their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned. Therefore, a better way to know a person, I think, is to ask a different set of questions: What
47、 motivates them? What makes them ache? What do they long for?Its in this spirit that I want to publicly share my values. They are the compass（罗盘）that guides my life. The kindest and most sincere thing I can do is to see, recognize, and understand another person before I make judgments. From there, I
48、 can learn to treat others appropriately, depending on the context, learning from my mistakes with time and experience. Its just a reminder that life is hard for all of us, while at the same time accepting that its important we are all also held accountable for our actions. I have learned that we ar
49、e all deeply self-interested. I hope to be self-aware enough to check out of the power and status games. That means Im not competing with anyone for a shiny object; Id rather compete with myself. Its about becoming so uniquely different that it would be an insult for me to measure myself against som
50、eone else. I believe if I do the work to be internally free from the pull of the power and status games, then I can add value to others bused on my unique knowledge and experience. If this resonates with（与共鸣）you, I invite you to join me on this journey in understanding and relating to this complex w
51、orld. Its a wonderful mystery, and I think together we can better define it - not just personally, but also collectively. 56. According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?A. The external markers are better ways to know a person. B. People generally judge others worth by what they have ac
52、hieved. C. The author is someone who is keen on power games. D. Learning from mistakes is the first step of treating others kindly. 57. What does the underlined word “overshadow” probably mean?A. be relatively similar to B. cause something to be stronger than C. make something less important D. bloc
53、k off light from something 58. What of the following might the author agree with?A. Life is hard, so we shouldnt criticize others when they are not responsible. B. One should overcome self-interest in order to judge others objectively. C. Everyone is unique, so showing off uniqueness is an insult to
54、 others. D. One should see and understand another person using a real compass. 59. Why does the author write the article?A. To promote harmonious living. B. To ask people not to judge others. C. To call on readers to learn his values. D. To share his values of understanding the world. (B)The Element

(C)Getting active in midlife could be as good for you as starting young when it comes to reducing the risk of an early death, researchers have suggested. But exp
62、erts say the study also shows that the benefits fade once exercise declines. “If you maintain an active lifestyle or participate in some sort of exercise from youth to middle age, you can reduce your risk for dying,” said Dr. Pedro Saint-Maurice, the lead author of the research. “If you are not acti
63、ve and you get to your 40s - 50s and you decide to become active, you can still enjoy a lot of those benefits.”The study was based on data from more than 300,000 Americans aged 50 - 71 who undertook a questionnaire（问卷）in the late-1990s. They were asked to recall the extent of their moderate to vigor
64、ous leisure exercise at different stages of their life. Researchers then used national records to track who died in the years up to the end of 2016. After taking into account factors including age, sex, smoking and diet, the team found that those who were exercising into middle age had a lower risk
65、of death than those who had never carried out any leisure exercise. However, when the team looked at different patterns in the way people were active over their life, it found a surprise. Men and women who started exercising at the age of 40 - 50 reduced their risk of death from any cause by about 3
66、5%. The benefit was similar to that seen for people who reached and maintained similar activity from their teens or 20s onwards. However, the study found that the protective effect of exercise did not last forever. People whose levels of leisure exercise decreased by middle age had no difference in
67、the risk of an early death to those who had always been couch potatoes. “If you have been active and you slowly decrease your exercise participation as you age, you lose a lot of the benefits that we know are associated with exercise,” Saint - Maurice said. But the study has limitations, including t
68、hat it is based on individuals recalling how active they were many years before. Whats more, the research looked only at death records, not other aspects of health such as levels of sickness and disease. Nonetheless, he said, the message was positive. “This adds to the growing body of evidence about
69、 the importance of physical activity and exercise across he life course, and indicates that it is never too late to start.”63. Which of the following is TRUE about the study?A. The study took about two decades to complete. B. The study involved around 30,000 elderly Americans. C. Questionnaires and
70、interviews were the sources of data. D. The participants in the study took regular physical exercise. 64. According to the passage, what does “a surprise” (Para.3) refer to?A. The earlier you exercise, the greater your health benefits will be. B. Participating in exercise from youth to middle age be
71、nefits ones health greatly. C. The benefit of getting active in midlife is similar to that of starting young. D. The benefits of exercising in midlife will decline once you stop exercising. 65. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. an active lifestyle will not necessarily bring positive hea
72、lth benefits. B. participants memories may affect the reliability of the study resultC. people exercising from their teens can maintain health forever D. women benefit more from vigorous exercise than men do66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Exercise has its limitat

74、Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. As animals learn to relax in the presence of humans, they may become bolder in other situations. B. This massive amount of ecotourism can be one of the drivers of rapid environmental change. C. The phenomena result from evolutionary changes, b
75、ut also from regular interactions with humans. D. Do not import or release living animals or plants into the wild that could harm native species. E. In many cases it involves close interaction with wildlife. F. Interacting with people can cause great change in the characteristics of various species
76、over time. Ecotourism can put wild animals at riskEcotourism has become increasingly popular in recent years. _67_ There travelers visit natural environments to fund conservation efforts or promote local economies. Now, scientists have analyzed more than 100 research studies on how ecotourism affect
77、s wild animals. They find the presence of humans changes the way animals behave, and those changes may put them at risk. Therefore, they concluded that such trips can be harmful to the animals. When animals interact in seemingly kind ways with humans, they may let down their guard. _68_. If this tra
78、nsfers to their interactions with predators（捕食者）, they are more likely to be injured or killed. The presence of humans can also discourage natural predators. It creates a kind of safe place for smaller animals that may make them bolder. For example, in Grand Teton National Park, elk and pronghorns i
79、n areas with more tourists are less alert and spend more time eating. _69_ “If animals become accustomed to tourists and if tourism practices enhance this taming, we might create unintended consequences - affecting the behavior or population of a species and influencing the species function in its c
80、ommunity,” the researchers write. Ecotourism has effects similar to those of animal domestication and urbanization. Research has shown that domesticated silver foxes become more obedient and less fearful. Fox squirrels and birds that live in urbanized areas are slower to flee from danger. _70_Scient
81、ists hope the new analysis will encourage more research into the interactions between people and wildlife. It is essential to develop further understanding of how various species in various situations respond to human interaction and under what conditions human exposure may place them at risk. . Sum
82、mary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 71. High level of deforestation continues We are all aware of the threats our planet is facing. Experts agree that its ma
83、inly us humans who are responsible for the destruction of the environment. One of the most destructive activities we are carrying out is cutting down forests - deforestation. This is done for many reasons, such as providing wood for fuel, making land available for housing or for crating space for mo
84、re cattle to graze（吃草）on. This has been most noticeable in Brazil, which is home to the worlds largest rainforest. Deforestation there has hit its highest rate in a decade, according to official data. Over the course of a year, an area about five times the size of London has been destroyed. The amou
85、nt of deforestation in the Amazon and in other tropical（热带的）regions has actually seen a decline but the figures are still large. Global Forest Watch say that in 2018, an area equivalent to 30 football fields were cut down every minute. Frances Seymour from the World Resources Institute says that “If
86、 you look back over the last 18 years, it is clear that the overall trend is still upwards. We are nowhere near winning this battle.”Whats special about places like the Amazon is that they are primary forests which exist in their original condition with some species of trees dating back thousands of
87、 years. This habitat is home to unique and rare animals and is critical for sustaining biodiversity（生物多样性）. The BBCs environment correspondent, Matt McGrath, says “These old forests really matter as stores of carbon dioxide, which is way the loss of 3.6 million hectares in 2018 is concerning.”Brazil
88、 has taken some steps to try and decrease deforestation by introducing government policies including fines for breaking land use regulations and illegal logging. And International campaigns to stop the trade of soy and beef farmed on deforested parts of the Amazon have also had a significant impact.
