  Passage 3 

  话题:鞋与个性

  ay that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes.“Shoes convey useful information about their wearers,”the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.

  Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone's shoes.In the study,63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire.

  Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoesrn by outgoing people.However,some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example,“practical and functional”shoes were generally worn by more“pleasant”people,while ankle boots were more linked with“aggressive”personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore“uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them,you may suffer from“attachment anxiety”,spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主张变革的)types wearing“shabbier and less expensive” shoes.

  earchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.

  Passage 5 

  话题:业余时间

  ost people,does not really lower stress.Studies show that TV viewing more than an hour or so actually creates stress and,especially in women,may lead to the blues.Most individuals are unaware that doing some exercise after work makes them more energetic since it increases energy levels.

  Wise use of free time does not mean getting an advanced degree,although the mental encouragement gained through education is unbeatable in keeping your mind active.Learning new things nearly always adds a spark to your daily life,especially if it is a favorite topic,such as sport,fashion,or art.Also,look through your bookstore or library to find books on your interests.Try to replace a half hour TV watching with reading.

  It is reported that in the United States recently,many individuals have as few as two good friends.Long work hours and car commute act to separate people from each other.This separation is deadly.Find ways to meet people at the end of the day and on weekends.Often this can be best done by combining activities,such as by joining a walking group to get both exercise and companionship.Taking a class will lift your spirits and allow you to meet others with similar interests.Hobbies are great for reducing stress and provide another opportunity for social interaction.

  Using your free time to aid your health may include these elements and many more,such as going to concerts and spending time with family.Overall,the key is to spend less free time being passive.The best ways to use free time are to be mentally and physically active,spend some time outdoors,and interact with other people on a regular basis.

  答案 B

  3.Which would be the best title for the passage?

  A.Live a Happy and Healthy Life

  “It's a crow,a crow,a crow.”said the son loudly.

  A little after,the father again asked his son the 4th time,“What is this? ”

  This time the son shouted at his father,“Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW’.Are you not able to understand this? ”

  A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary,which he had kept since his son was born.On opening a page,he asked his son to read that page.When the son read it,the following words were written in the diary:

  that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times.I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child.”

  【语篇导读】 当年迈的父亲一遍又一遍向儿子询问树上的乌鸦时儿子愈来愈没耐心。此时父亲拿出他自儿子出生起就3岁时他就窗前的乌鸦向我问了23次每次我都不会感到厌烦……

  Passage 7 

  话题:购物

  Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us,shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money.For me,it's something I would rather avoid.Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs,electrical items,even food,from the comfort of your sofa.But that's not the only reason:price is an important factor.We can buy goods and services cheaper online.But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy.This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.

  Showrooming is something I've done.I will go to a shop to see-down price.I'm not alone in doing this.Research by a company called FoolproofChristmas shopping in 2017.

  Amy Cashman,Head of Technology at TNS UK,says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that“people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.”She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.

  But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.

  screen but at least by showrooming,you get the best of both worlds!

  【语篇导读】 本文主要介绍了一种新的购物方式showrooming(先在实体店试选好然后通过网上购买)。

  B.give two examples

  howrooming?

  A.The lack of time.

  B.The comfort of the sofa.

  C.The shortness of money.

  D.The security of the product.

  解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Reasons for this new shopping habit are that‘people are lacking timeabout the products ”可知B项正确。

  答案 B

  A.Online shops will disappear.

  B.Free gifts will surely promote sales.

  C.Shops need necessary changes.

  D.Shops will be replaced by online shops.

  解析 推理判断题。通过第四段的最后一句可知C项正确。A项错在“disappear”;B项错在“surely”;D项在文中未涉及表达得也太绝对。

  答案 C

  .

  A.critical

  B.neutral

  C.supportive

  D.casual

  答案 C

  Passage 8 

  话题:才能≠财富

  educated and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fixed it in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound.I was amazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.

  I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase,“They are one skill away from great wealth.”

  There is an old saying that goes,“JOB means

  ‘Just Over Broke’”.And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence,most workers “live

  within

  their

  means”.They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend that young people seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.

  When I ask the classes I teach,“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands.I then askd's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

  【语篇导读】 世界上到处都有聪明、有才能、有教养的人。为何他们会挣得少?有杰出的才能是不够的他们缺乏的是财务智慧。

  .

  A.he is just one of the talented people

  B.he is ready to help others

  C.he has a sharp sense of hearing

  D.he knows little about car repairing

  答案 A

  ”.

  A.spend more than they can afford

  B.do in their own way

  C.live in their own circle

  D.live within what they earn

  解析 词义猜测题。根据第三段的第四句“They work and they pay the bills.”可知大多数人为了付账单工作赚钱量入而出地生活。live within their means表示“量入而出地生活”故D项正确。

  答案 D

  A.They don't work hard enough.

  B.They lack financial intelligence.

  C.They don't make full use of their talents.

  D.They have no specialized skills.

  解推理判断题。根据第三段第三句中的“Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence”可知学校并不重视关于财务智慧的教育;再由最后一段的最后一句可推知人们挣得少主要是因为缺乏财务智慧。故B项正确。

  答案 B

  .

  A.how young people can find a satisfactory job

  B.what schools should teach about finance

  C.why so many talented people are poor

  D.how McDonald's makes much money

  答案 C

  Passage 9 

  话题:家政教育

  Large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years,but despite being the most educated generation in history,it seems that we've grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.

  Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls,I consider myself lucky to still be alive.Unfamiliar to freshers,there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of student accommodation.

  I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food-poisoningme of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation,I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic skills I missed out in my modern education.

  In 2006 and 2010,the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education.Robinson's main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents.I would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents,the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation—a working knowledge of basic life skills.

  Today's graduates may have earned themselves honor in history,law or economies,but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books,or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes

  Since the invention of the Internet,it has never been easier for people to access information,but our highly specialized education has made us more one-sided than ever.

  【语篇导读】 本文是一篇议论文。阐述了中国当前教育存在的主要问题即学生受教育程度越来越高但实际生活技能却越来越差所以作者建议要及时对学生进行“家政”教育。

  .

  A.what we've learned is beyond consumption

  解析 A、B项都是作者提到的遭遇而D项没有提到。故选D。

  答案 D

  .

  A.focuses on the importance of creativity

  B.dislocates people from their natural talents

  C.has equipped students with basic life skills

  D.has followed the tradition properly

  答案 B

  es poor at basic life skills?

  A.Because they are not interested in them.

  B.Because they have little relevant practice.

  C.Because they are affected by the Internet.

  D.Because they are easy to be one-sided.

  解析 推理判断题。根据第五段的最后一句“I would like to go a step...basic life skills.”可知作者认为现代教育体制忽视了原来代代相传的基本生活技能故选B。

  答案 B

  .

  A.there is no need to introduce “domestic science”

  B.it's time we did something to current education

  C.more attention should be paid to natural science

  D.accidents should be prevented in student halls

  解析 写作意图题。本文是一篇议论文文章开头提出了论点即本文讨论的B。
