16、rWhen her grandmothers health began to worsen last autumn, Mary would make the drive from Washington, DC to Winchester, VA every few days.She hated highway driving, finding it ugly and boring. She preferred to take winding country roads to her grandmothers hospital. When she drove through the rocky
17、town of Harpers Ferry, the beauty of the rough waters was always appealing to her.Toward the end of her journey, Mary had to get on highway 81. It was here that she discovered a surprising bit of beauty during one of her trips. Along the shoulder of the highway, there was a long stretch of wild flow
18、ers. They were thin and delicate and purple, and moved back and forth in the wind as if whispering poems to each other.The first time she saw the flowers, Mary was seized by an uncontrollable urge to pull over on the highway and pull a bunch from the soil. She carried them into her grandmothers room
19、 when she arrived at the hospital and placed them in a vase by her bed.For a moment her grandmother seemed more lucid（清醒的）than usual. She thanked Mary for the flowers, commented on their beauty and asked where she had gotten them. Mary was overjoyed by the ability of the flowers to wake something up
20、 inside her sick grandmother.Afterwards, Mary began carrying scissors in the car during her trips to visit her grandmother. She would quickly glide onto the shoulder, jump out of the car, and clip a bunch of flowers. Each time Mary placed the flowers in the vase, her grandmothers eyes would light up
21、 and they would have a splendid conversation.One morning in late October, Mary got a call that her grandmother had taken a turn for the worse. Mary was in such a hurry to get to her grandmother that she sped past her flower spot. She decided to turn around, head several miles back, and cut a bunch.M

26、 no other musical instrument is as popular as the guitar around the world. Musicians use the guitar for almost all kinds of music. Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar. The traditional Spanish folk music called Flamenco could not exist without a guitar. The sound of Ameri
27、can blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar. And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument. Music experts do not agree about where the guitar was first played. Most agree it is ancient. Some experts say an instrument very much like a guitar wa
28、s played in Egypt more than 1,000 years ago. Most experts say that the ancestor of the modern guitar was brought to Spain from Persia sometime in the 12th century. The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the 1700s it became similar to the instrument we know today. Many famous musicians played t
29、he instrument. The famous Italian violinist Niccole Paganism played and wrote music for the guitar in the early 1800s. Franz Schubert used the guitar to write some of his famous works. In modern times Spanish guitarist Andres Segovia helped make the instrument extremely popular. In the 1930s, Les Pa
30、ul began experimenting to make an electric guitar. He invented the solid-bodied electric guitar in 1946. The Gibson Guitar Company began producing its famous Les Paul Guitar in 1952. It became a powerful influence on popular music. The instrument has the same shape and the same six strings (弦)as the
31、 traditional guitar, but it sounds very different. Les Paul produced a series of extremely popular recordings that introduced the public to this music. Listen to this Les Paul recording.

32、n we infer from the first paragraph?A. The guitar was the most popular musical instrument in the past.B. The choice of musical instrument is important for a band.C.

34、here does the passage probably come from?A. A broadcast B. A newspaper C. A magazine D. A history bookDHow many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs(拇指) up”?Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do th
35、is, dont worrypsychological findings have shown its completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we cant help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback
36、 circuit (反馈回路) in the teens brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worke
37、d all the same.So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention
38、. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous, or wanting to cover your mistakes m
39、ay also contribute to such longings.In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem（自尊）but on something larger th
40、an their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than oursel

The physical and sense parts of the brain become less sensitive. D. The whole brain becomes cleverer.34. Who wants to get more attention
43、 according to the passage?A. Teens who want to discover their mistakes. B. The old who lives happily with children.C. The young who feels anxious. D. The one who is the only child.35. Whats Crockers suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem?A. Doing an interesting matter. B. Worki

Its such a simple concept, yet its somet
45、hing we dont always do. I believe that having ONE goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals. By putting the belief into practice, I have achieved a lot of personal goals over time. 36 My answer takes a little explaining. I try to turn my goals into habits, and in doing so, I put
46、my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it for at least a month. The more you can focus, the more itll be on autopilot. 37 Youll still do it, but you only have to use minimal force to maintain it, and you can focus on your next goal or habit.Take my marathon goal
47、as an example. I was just starting running and had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. So that was my goal. 38_ First, I had to make running a daily habit. Second, I had to report to people in order to have accountability (负责) so that I could not quit easily. I focused on the daily r
48、unning habit for about a month, and didnt have any other goals or habits. When the running habit stuck, I started reporting to people I knew and blogging about my running every day._39_ I could focus on new goals without having to worry about the marathon. I still had to do the running, of course, b
49、ut it didnt require constant focus. _40_ I was able to achieve this because, all year long, I had daily running and accountability habits. I put my marathon goal into autopilot, so instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year, I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it whi
50、le focusing on new habits and goals. A. And eventually, I ran the first marathon in my life.B. At the beginning, it was very difficult for me to achieve this goal.C. But in order to achieve it, I broke it down into two habits.D. With this accountability, theres no way I could stop running. E. Once y
51、ou put it on autopilot, you dont have to focus on it much.F. My readers asked me how I was able to achieve them while working on different projects.G. Once those two habits were established, my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节(共20小题) 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
52、处的最佳选项。During my lifetime, Ive learnt something important: its good to learn new skills outside of your comfort zone. About seven years ago, I started learning how to paint as a _41_. I was pretty terrible. Everything looked _42_, and my colors were totally off. My friends and colleagues suggested t

54、no and singing lessons a couple of years ago.

Even when there is evidence of learning, it can be _50_
55、to inborn talent. Most scientific studies on adulthood focus on cognitive (认知) decline, rather than _51_, suggesting that even scientists may think that development is limited in adulthood.A few recent studies suggest that _52_ new skills, such as photography, for even three months may enhance the f
56、unctioning of the brain in adults.I would take these studies one step further to argue that a(n) _53_ cause of cognitive decline is the fact that adults learn fewer new skills _54_ to children. If we can _55_ how to learn well as adults, then perhaps we can _56_ cognitive decline.Adults are often _5
57、7_ to go outside of their comfort zones. We fear looking _58_ for making mistakes; we fear failure could cost us our jobs. Perhaps a reason why we suffer from cognitive decline is that we do not engage in learning new skills for many years.To better communicate with my German friends, I am starting
