Skye has been published over the years in print media not just for his photography but also voicing his opinion on conservation in South Africa an
13、d the need for more young photographers out there. For Skye, photography is not just about the competitions entered and won but also the platform it affords him to create awareness about our natural world and conserving it in the long term. Here is part of an interview to Skye from the Rational Pers
14、pective. Host: How do you get to have the ability to see these animals in the wild?Skye: Well, Ive been fortunate enough that my parents are so passionate about the bush that its just a by-product of me going on adventures with them that Ive been able to pursue my photography because its not somethi
15、ng that every kid will like. I want wildlife photography. So its quite a unique situation for me. Its something that I have been brought up and something Ive been fortunate to experience. Host: How do you take a good picture of a leopard?Skye: I had been following Limpy (the Leopard) for many years
16、and she holds a special place in my heart. I had grown alongside her. For me, the perfect shot is one where I feel as if Im not really there. Its one where the animal is comfortable enough to behave as if Im not there. I like to feel immersed in the moment and capture nature at its most natural. I l
17、ike to focus on what I would like to see in the moment and what I feel. So in my winning picture I saw the peace and tranquillity of the moment, and thats what I tried to capture.21.

20、e of my fears and provided valuable food for thought. Looking for meaningful ways to spend my weekends after my exams, I signed up to a program of arts and crafts for the elderly run by my schoolmates. I was informed that the Renci Nursing Home, where the program would be held, housed some of the le
21、ss fortunate elderly in Singapore. Some background research gave me the impression that many of them suffered from physical issues and had little family support. As a result, I expected the atmosphere there to be discouraging. And, judging by the lack of interest in the painting activities, I truly
22、sensed a feeling of purposelessness there. Given that we live in a society in which the bonds between the generations are weakening, perhaps the disappointing atmosphere in the home wasnt surprising. The people were cut off from the ties that make life meaningful. Is it safe to say then that our liv
23、es after retirement will likely feel aimless? But after I spoke to a Portuguese-Chinese man, I thought that this wasnt necessarily so. At the age of 90, he displayed a surprisingly strong sense of control over his life. His liveliness was exceptional among the elderly population in the home. He had
24、spent his life either traveling around the world as a backpacker, or working hard in Singapore to save up for his trips. He had made it a rule to learn foreign languages, exercise and eat healthily something he continued to do during his stay in the nursing home. While he spoke to me about how his t
25、ime in London had shaped his view of cultural difference. I looked into his eves. I knew that this was the kind of control over life that I wanted for myself. I dont want to spend half of my time wandering about in foreign countries like he did, but I do want to appreciate the richness that life has
26、 to offer.24. Why did the author go to the Renci Nursery Home?A. Because it was run by his schoolmates.B. Because he meant to learn arts and crafts.C. Because he wanted a significant weekend.D.

What mainly helped the author change his attitude toward old age?A. The hard work of the elderly.B. The liveliness of an old man.C. The
28、view of cultural difference.D. The care of the nursing home.27. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Caring for the Elderly.B. Living by His Own Law.C. Traveling on Our WayD. Preparing for the Old Age.CDoes college year seem a long way off? What about several years later? These are the d
29、ates to look toward when planning your career. The possibilities are prepared especially for those who see the big picture and have insight to research their options.Students pick occupations for many reasons. Yet choosing something that simply sounds exciting may not be the best option. Familiarity
30、 with a career doesnt automatically make it a good profession for you. Although no one can predict the future, it makes more sense to eye trends in the economy and the workplace before making that critical decision. Picking the right field will make landing a dream job after school a reality. Having
31、 the ability to see the big picture is key. High school graduates should research the jobs that will be in demand in 10 to 20 years to determine the best future careers as they consider further schooling. According to one guidance counselor “The key word would be explore. Explore every optiondont li
32、mit yourself or sell yourself short. Think that you can do whatever you want to do.” Choosing a career can be complicated because of todays rapidly changing world. According to Next Step Magazine up-and-coming jobs are, not surprisingly, in healthcare including dentists, medical scientists. home hea
33、lth aides, etc. When choosing a career in healthcare, consider how attainable it is. How long will it take to complete the necessary program? Also consider the salary, status, and quality of life of that profession. Some jobs require long hours, weekends, and holidays, while others have more traditi
34、onal hours. Sometimes a job is significantly more difficult or tedious than it appears. Selecting a career because you want to make a difference in others lives becomes unsettling when you realize that crucial changes may not be possible due to complicated reasons. A jobs total compensation package
35、can be critical too. Its not just about the salary. Its about healthcare benefits, paid vacation, retirement plans, stock options and other perks often available to educated and specially trained individuals. Keeping your options open, even if the career decision seems obvious, can work to your adva
36、ntage. Continue to research responsibilities. To avoid disappointment, think ahead, and try to predict where the voids will be in the career market.28. According to the first two paragraphs, students should_.A. consider their dreams criticallyB. have insight into their college yearC. research before

Benefits of picking a right occupationDThe idea of unplugged running is gaining steam in the fitness community, as recent st
39、udies show that being addicted to tracking fitness metrics can lead to negative mindsets and outcomes.Eoin Whelan, a senior lecturer in business information systems at the National University of Ireland Galway, explores the psychology behind engagement with social media and fitness tracking apps. “P
40、eople are getting more enjoyment out of gathering the data and analyzing that and sharing it with other people”, Whelan told CNN, adding that there is a big element of social comparison for those who use fitness tracking apps. “People will compare themselves to people who are better than them, who a
41、re running faster or running longer. And ultimately we know that makes them feel bad.”Whelan also noted that people who are very reliant on smartwatches. fitness trackers or fitness apps are more likely to skip their workout if the batteries on their tracking devices are dead. Its like we cant inter
42、pret our own body signals. We are becoming very dependent on the technology to actually do that for us. When you ask some of the athletes a simple question like “how did you sleep last night?” they cant answer unless they look at the data. Other researches show that too much screen time, including l
43、ooking at our smartwatch or fitness apps, has negative impacts on mental health. The information people gather from smartwatches and workout tracking apps can contribute to “information overload” problems. Having a constant flow of information due to technology can lead to stress, anxiety, loss of s
44、leep, depression, and more. The more we allow notifications and alerts to beckon (吸引) us, the more stress and anxiety chemicals are released, making us on edge and our mental and emotional systems are flooded with a message that says, “check me now”. Some experts advocate us to create screen-free zo
45、nes as well as taking “tech breaks”, where we set a 15-or 30-timer during which we dont check our phone. The time limit tells our brain that we can check the phone soon and reduces the anxiety of feeling we have to check in all the time. Running watch-free is beneficial for more than just the casual
46、 jogger or weekend warrior. Some professionals also have had success with leaving their watches at home. Welsh runner Steve Jones famously set a world record at the 1984 Chicago Marathon without wearing a watch. He later told journalists he didnt even know he was on world record-pace until he crosse
47、d the finish line.Its not all negative, though. Other studies show there are many upsides to using fitness trackers. When using these technologies, some people tend to exercise for longer and at a higher intensity as well, which is all good for their physical well- being. So ditching the data might
48、not be best for everyone.31. According to Whelan, why do people involve themselves in fitness tracking apps?A. Because they fail to interpret their own body signals.B. Because they want to learn from those who exercise better.C. Because they skip workout when their batteries run out.D. Because they
49、gain satisfaction when they see the data.32. What could “tech breaks” do for us, according to Whelan?A. They enable our mind to relax for a while.B. They allow us to check our phone at any time.C. They expose our mind to crowded information.D. They release anxiety chemicals affecting us.33. What doe
50、s the underlined word “ditching” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Tracking.B. Abandoning.C. Analyzing.D. Collecting.34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Running watch-free gives people more motivation.B. Professional runners do not wear a watch while training.C. Information overload ha
51、s bad effects on our mental health.D. The setbacks of running watch-free outweigh the benefits.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Alternative medicine has become much more popular in the West in recent years. _35_ And they are turning to treatments such as hom
52、eopathy, yoga, and acupuncture（针灸）to complement or sometimes even replace the western medicine.

53、very fine needles into the body at points along the meridians. This stimulates the flow of energy, and restores the patients health. Acupuncture only really became well-known in the West in the 1970s as people began to travel more frequently between the two areas of the world. _37_ However in the la
54、st few years it has become more established as an alternative to western medical treatments, since clinical tests have shown that acupuncture is effective for some conditions. _38_ Many sportspeople have experimented with acupuncture when fighting injury. Martina Hingis, the famous tennis player, ha
55、d a wrist injury cured through treatment, and NBA legend Kobe Bryant also used acupuncture on his leg. It is also used to treat depression, stress and anxiety. _39_ In the past some people have experienced allergic reactions, broken needles and even punctured lungs while being treated, although this
56、 is very uncommon.A. The treatment is often used to relieve headaches, dental pain, etc.B. Illness is the result of a blockage of the energy flow to these organs.C. The treatment is thought to increase the bodys resistance to infection.D. In the Far East, acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of
57、 complaints.E. However, before you go, check if the acupuncturist is qualified and registered.F. At first, doctors in the West often doubted about the medical value of acupuncture.G.

58、，41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。Some people see colours when they hear different sounds. Others see colours when they see words and numbers printed in black and white. These interesting people are called synaesthetes, and what they experience is called synaesthesia. A study at the Un
59、iversity of Sussex is finding out how learning to see sounds as colours or think of letters in colour could improve your IQ and memory. One of the study leaders, Dr Bor says that carrying out these tests has given them the opportunity to find out more about how people use different kinds of memory.D
60、r Bor based his latest research around something scientists already know a lot about chunking. He explains that this is a way of breaking large pieces of information into smaller units, to make it easier to remember. When I give you my phone number, 01274737215, you probably remember it as 012 74 73
61、72 15, or something similar. If you can remember 012 and the first 74, you can remember the rest. You can get some amazing benefits from chunking!This is really important for understanding synaesthesia. Dr Bor says that synaesthesia adds extra information to things that are difficult to remember, su
62、ch as letters and numbers, or extra colours. This helps us remember things better. And Dr Bors own study of one amazing person, who has both synaesthesia and a very strong memory advantage, supports this idea as well. The study began as a way to test whether synaesthesia is connected to greater abil
63、ities to do certain things and aimed to create a way of learning synaesthesia to develop benefits for everyone. After training, people were able to pass the normal synaesthesia tests, and their IQ jumped up about 12 points! But Dr Bor says they need to test the increase in IQ with different groups o
64、f people apart from clever students who took part in this study.40. According to the passage, when do people experience synaesthesia?41. How can synaesthesia help improve memory?42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why?Dr Bor has proved that
