第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Taking photographs at a birthday or a wedding has become as natural as blowing out candles or cutting the cake. But our obsession with recording every detail of our happiest moments could be damaging our ability to remember them,__according to new research. A study has shown that taking pictures rather than concentrating fully on the events in front of us prevents memories taking hold.Dr.Linda Henkel, from Fairfield University, Connecticut, described it as the “photo－taking impairment effect”. She said: “People so often pull out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment, to the point where they are missing what is happening right in front of them. When people rely on technology to remember for them—counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves—it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences.”
Dr Henkel and her team carried out an experiment in a museum, to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen.
A group of university students were led on a tour at the Bellarmine Museum of Art at Fairfield University and were asked to either photograph or try and remember objects on display. The next day their memory was tested. The results showed that people were less accurate in recognizing the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at. It was found that their memory for the details of the objects they had photographed was poorer.
Henkel's lab is currently investigating whether the content of a photo, such as whether you are in it，affects later memory. She is also researching whether actively choosing what to photograph might influence what we remember.
Previous research suggests that reviewing photos we have taken does help us remember the objects, but only if we take the time.
“Research has suggested that the sheer volume and lack of organization of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and recalling them. In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them，” said Dr Henkel.
【语篇解读】 现在照相变得相当普遍，可研究发现这些拍照会损害我们的记忆能力，叫做拍照使用损伤效应现象。
41．What does the word “them”， in the first paragraph, refer to?
A．Gifts at a birthday.
B．People who go to parties.
C．Photos taken at a wedding.
D．Details of the happiest moments.
答案 D [词义猜测题。根据第一段提到When people rely on technology to remember for them—counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves—it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences.可知我们用科技来记录我们快乐的时光，故选D项。]
42．What is the “photo－taking impairment effect”？
A．Some unhappy events may impair the effects of photos.
B．Taking photographs of objects ruins one's memory of them.
C．The effects of photos are strongly affected by bad cameras.
D．Memories last forever when people take the photos they like most.
答案 B [细节推断题。根据第二段提到Dr Henkel and her team carried out an experiment in a museum, to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen可知拍照可让他们记不得自己看过什么，故选B项。]
43．What can we learn about Dr. Linda Henkel's study?
A．A group of high school students were
involved.
B．The memory of participants was tested the following week.
C．People who just looked at the objects remembered fewer details.
D．People who photographed objects were worse at recognizing them.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据第三段提到The results showed that people were less accurate in recognizing the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at可知人们对于他们拍摄的东西的认知不如他们所看到的准确，故选D项。]

A．Reviewing photos improves memories of objects.
B．Focusing on people at events is the best way to remember.
C．Relying on technology to remember affects the memory.
D．Counting on cameras to record events is always reliable.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段提到Research has suggested that the sheer volume and lack of organization of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and
recalling them. In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them，大量的数码照片并不能唤起我们的记忆，故选C项。]

If you've seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs，you've probably sung along to the dwarfs' classic happy song，“Heigh Ho.” In the summer of 2017，the dwarfs have a new song—and look—in Disney XD's animated series (动画系列)，The 7D.The new TV show features a pleasant theme song written and performed by Parry Gripp.
Gripp's theme introduces the 7D—Happy，Doc，Grumpy，Sneezy，Bashful，Dopey，and Sleepy —to the audience at the start of each half－hour show.“The theme song is in kind of a punk (朋克) rock style，”Gripp said.“It's pretty fast and has guitars and the tone of my voice is a bit nasal (鼻音) and aggressive.But the music in the show really changes.”
The 7D follows Happy，Doc，Grumpy，Sneezy，Bashful，Dopey，and Sleepy on their adventures working in a jewel mine in the town of Jollywood，before they met Snow White.Jollywood is ruled by Queen Delightful，a kind queen who calls on the 7D for any problem.
Problems frequently arise as a pair of bad couple Hildy and Grim Gloom plan to take over the throne (王座)or take magical jewels away.“Grim and Hildy want to be constant thorns in the side (眼中钉) of the 7D and the Queen，” the producer Tom Ruegger said.“Having Kelly Osbourne join the cast [as the voice of Hildy] has been a real bonus(意外收获) and the audience praised his performances highly.I didn't expect that.”
Ruegger，who
previously worked
on
hit animated
shows
Animaniacs
and
Tiny
Toon Adventures，has been developing The
7D since 2011.“It's old－school in that you have the same names as in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs，” Ruegger said.“But there is a lot of innovation to it：new designs，very new colorful characters，brand new voices and settings.”
Many of Gripp's songs are performed by Happy.“I think Happy is sort of the heart and soul of The 7D，”says Ruegger.“He's so positive and his singing and the songs that he delivers add a lot of energy to the show.”Fittingly，Gripp says Happy is the 7D member he relates to most.“But my favorite character is Grumpy because he is so funny.”
【语篇解读】 文章介绍了最新动画音乐剧The 7D的相关信息。
46．What's Tom Ruegger's attitude towards Kelly Osbourne's performance in The 7D?
A．Negative.
B．Doubtful.
C．Positive.
D．Uncertain.
答案 C [推理判断题。根据第四段“Having Kelly Osbourne join the cast (as the voice of Hildy) has been a real bonus and the audience praised his performances highly.I didn't expect that.”可知，Tom Ruegger认为Kelly Osbourne出演Hildy是真正的意外收获。观众对他的表演高度赞扬。这是他没有意料到的。由此可推知，他对Kelly Osbourne的演出持肯定态度。]
47．How long has Ruegger spent in developing The 7D?
A．About two years.
B．Less than three years.
C．About four years.
D．More than five years.
答案 C [细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the summer of 2017，the dwarfs have a new song—and look—in Disney XD's animated series，The 7D.”和第五段“Ruegger，...has been developing The 7D since 2011.”可知，Ruegger用了大概四年的

答案 B [词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，The 7D中有“白雪公主和7个矮人”中相同的人物名字，但是，我们在The 7D中有新的设计、新的人物形象、全新的声音和背景。由此可知The 7D还加入了许多“创新”。]

Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results.However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem.Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise.There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.
Effective leadership is one of the most important factors of good teamwork.The team's leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed.An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.
Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team.Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other's opinions.
Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together.The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts.Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others.Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a hands－on approach that settles them quickly is much better.It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork.In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs to show these qualities.The team turns to the leader for support and guidance.So any negative words or behaviors on the leader's part can be disastrous.
Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.

Bobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen，a tough working－class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side.But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway，and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen.Being stage－stuck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners.Fearing their ridicule，he told no one，not even his girlfriend，when he started taking acting lessons at age 17.If you were a kid from the neighborhood，you became a cop，construction worker，longshoreman or criminal.Not an actor.
Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east.He studied acting，turned out for all the cattle calls(试戏通知)—and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of 2 000.“I wasn't a good actor，but I had a driving need to do something different with my life，” he says.
He moved to Hollywood，where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒吧侍者)．His father said，“Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.” But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.
Then in 1983 his young brother Thomas was murdered in a mob－linked killing.Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen.Half－Deserted Streets，based on his brother's killing，opened at a small Off－Broadway theatre in 1988.A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.
His reputation grew，and he got enough assignment to move back to Hollywood.By 2003，he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis，a director who had befriended him，Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11.The two worked on the writing，but every studio in town turned it down.They kept pitching it.Studio executives，however，thought no one wanted to see a severe，honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.
Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money，sold his house.He and Haggis kept pushing.At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance，but the upfront money was too little，Moresco delayed his salary.
Crash slipped into the theatres in May 2005，and quietly became both a hit and a critical success.It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three—Best Picture，Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell's Kitchen.
At age 54，Bobby Moresco became an overnight success.“If you have something you want to do in life，don't think about the problems，” he says，“think about other ways to get it done.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一Bobby Moresco的职业生涯，他克服各种困难，坚持不懈，最终走向成功。
55．Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order：
a．His work HalfDeserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off－Broadway theatre.
b．Unexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success.
c．He moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter.

第二节：下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句(第61～65题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出适合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A．We don't care about the things we get easily.
B．It takes time and effort to be an expert in any area.
C．We should stick to rules undoubtedly and bravely.
D．Sometimes we have to ignore or break the regulations.
E．It takes great amount of courage to take the road less traveled.
F．You don't have to live your life in a way society wants you to.
Most of the time，we learn the lessons from the old and wise as they have already been where we are and have done what we do.But rarely does life teach us something in an easy way.It always takes tests and then fails for us to learn anything worthwhile.Here are five life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.
61．________People usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it will.First and foremost，keep in mind that people refer only to those who have already achieved what you want to be，which most people fail to do.They look at other unsuccessful people and apply those criteria to them even before they take action.Look at any successful person and you'll notice one thing common in all of them.They took time to learn and mastered their craft like no one else.There is no elevator to success; you have to take the stairs.
62．________Decades of old beliefs，customs and practices are being performed these days and are followed blindly without being questioned.Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don't want because other children have selected that career.Girls are made to follow some practices in their family which makes no sense to them at all.Worst of all，people follow them without even asking.There is no harm in old customs and beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest，sooner or later you'll realize that you should first do what you think is right.
63．________Undoubtedly，this is true in all the areas of life.Take health for example.Very few people take their health seriously.They know that if their health is lost，they won't be happy，still they eat junk food and never exercise，keep accumulating fat and keep spending on weight loss programs.Still nothing works.Why? The real reason behind is that they have got health for free.We spend thousands on cars and take care of them nicely.Imagine what would have been the price of human body if we had to pay for it? And then imagine how well we would take care of it if we had paid a huge amount of money to get our body.
64．________More often，we are always asking ten people before taking any step.We always want to confirm that we are sure and do not make any mistake.We follow the same path that everyone suggests，do the same thing everyone does，and hang out with the same people we work with.Why? Because we are scared.But when you get bored of life，you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else's out there in the world.However it always takes a tremendous amount of guts to follow your own trail.
65．________Rules are everywhere.We follow rules so that things are in order and no one is disturbed unnecessarily.This is true in case of traffic and other company rules but when it comes to your life，there are rules made by people who are scared to do something apart from their routine and therefore they made rules to prevent others doing so.But when time passes by and you think you are not being directed towards your goal and these so called rules are your biggest obstacles，break them down.Sometimes，we need to be bold and act courageously.

Dear__Editor，
I'm writing to express my view about which should come first for a would－be college student：a proper major or a famous university.
In my opinion，a good major is far more important than the ranking of the university.To begin with，we go to university to learn，not to show off.Besides，there is no doubt that a good major can promise a bright future.
We should be careful when making a choice about the major.Firstly，we should choose what we are most interested in.If we like the major，we are more likely to achieve academic success.Secondly，it is wise to choose a major whose graduates are in great need in society.
Personally，I do believe that putting the major first is a clever choice.
Yours__faithfully，
Li__Ping
