16、A website.B.A theatre magazine.C.A textbook.D. A bookletBWatching babies have their firsts is sweet, but its particularly heartwarming when we see their reactions to having an impaired sense restored. Whether its the first moment they hear a parents voice, or they see clearly for the first time with

17、 the help of glasses, these moments caught on video are enough to make anyone reach for the tissues.Such was the case when we came across baby Charlottes story. Charlotte, who her family calls “Charly, was born deaf. She was diagnosed with bilateral profound congenital hearing loss(双侧重度先天性听力损失).“We

18、dont know why or have any answers beyond that at this time. Neither my husband nor myself have a history of hearing loss in our families and nothing really prepared us for this news-shocking news, but not at all sad news,” her mom Christy Keane wrote on Instagram. “This sweet baby is beautiful and s

19、o capable of achieving everything she wants in life and we will make sure that happens!”Last week, Charly got her hearing aid. Her parents had no idea how she would respond, but were so glad they caught the heartwarming moment on camera. In a video of Charly hearing for the first time, she expressed

20、 different emotions. As her mom said “I love you” and talked to her, Charly was deeply moved and her facial expressions were truly precious.Keane proudly shared the touching video across her social media accounts. “Charly hears for the first time and hears me say I love you for the first time!” Kean

21、e wrote on Instagram when she shared the video. “And shes holding back happy tears and as emotional as her mama. We had our miracle moment that I have been praying for when Charly got her hearing aid today. We didnt think she would hear anything so this was more incredible than I can put into words.

24、 the days get shorter and the cold weather rolls in, we all want to lie in bed until spring rolls around. But making time to get outside in the sun, even when its cold out, could have bigger mood benefits than you might realize.While the link between sunshine and mental health is nothing new, the mo

25、st comprehensive study so far has shown that the association may be even stronger than previously realized.New research from Brigham Young University, published this month in the Journal of A ffective Disorders, finds that sunlight exposure is by far the greatest weather-related factor determining m

26、ental health outcomes. In other words, more sunshine, more happiness.For the study, a psychologist, a physicist and a statistician from BYU teamed up to compare the daily environmental data from the universitys Physics and Astronomy Weather Station with the emotional health data recorded by day for

27、16, 452 adult patients who were being treated at the BYU Counseling and Psychological Services Center.If youre getting enough sun, your emotions should remain relatively stable, the researchers found. But as the amount of sunlight in the day is reduced, levels of distress can shoot up. Other weather

28、 variables including temperature, pollution and rain were not found to have an effect on mental health.“We were surprised that many of the weather and pollution variables we included in the study were not significantly related to the objects scores on the distress measure once we had accounted for s

29、untime,” Dr. Mark Beecher, a professor of psychology at the university and the studys lead author, said. “People tend to associate rainy days, pollution, and other weather-related phenomena with sadness or depression, but we did not find that.”Exposure to sunlight is a significant factor in seasonal

30、 affective disorder. Research has shown that the brain produces more of the feel-good neurotransmitter (神经传递素) on sunny days than it does on darker days. Whats more, lack of sunlight is linked with a lower vitamin D level, which in turn has been related with depression and low energy.28. According t

31、o the research, which of the following affects our mental health most?A. Rain.B. Temperature.C. Pollution.D. Sunlight.29. What can we infer from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. Two psychologists worked together to do the research.B. The researchers only studied the emotional health data of 16, 452 adult patie

32、nts.C. The emotional health data of the patients were recorded 24 hours a day.D. People tend to be less happy in the evening than on a sunny day.30. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_.A. exposure to sunlightB. the brainC. vitamin DD. lack of sunlight31. What would be the best

33、title of the passage?A. More sunlight, more happinessB. Pollution has nothing to do with your emotionsC. Seasonal affective disorderD. Sunlight gives you more vitamin DDEnglish is full of colourful phrases to describe shyness. Someone who is shy might be called a shrinking violet or a wallflower, wh

34、ile for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldnt say boo to goose.None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of high flying achievers, shy people dont come first.Or thats what the self-help industry would have you

35、believe. Bookshops are filled with thick books that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets, is an instant hit. It made a splash across English-language media recently for its new take on shyness.Author Joe Moran says tha

36、t in spite of struggling with shyness all his life, being shy can also be “a gift”. Freed from the urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.Indeed, many of the worlds great thinkers and artists are introverts

37、. Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling says she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen. She adds shyness forced her into the world of her imagination.Mo

38、ran said, “I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist, and you are really more likely to be an observer.”So, while extroverts make all the noise, they dont necessarily have the best ideas. If youre shy, youve probably known this for a long time. You just dont talk about it

39、.32. What kind of people is “wallflower” used to describe?A. Rich peopleB. Rude peopleC. Nervous peopleD. Proud people33. Who will be especially interested in the book Shrinking Violets?A. Someone who has social fears.B. Someone who wants to be a writer.C. Someone who learns English.D. Someone who r

40、uns bookshops.34. What do the underlined words “preferred their own company” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Didnt want to work for others company.B. Didnt like making friends with someone who is shy.C. Wanted to participate in social situations.D. Loved staying alone more.35. What does the writer m

41、ainly want to tell us?A. Some phrases about shyness.B. Ways to overcome shyness.C. Shy people need self-help.D. Shyness is actually “a gift”.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Test anxiety can be a real problem if youre so stressed out in a test that you cant get over

42、 the nervousness to focus on the test questions and do your best work. Feeling ready to meet the challenge can keep test anxiety at a manageable level.Be prepared. Some students think that going to class is all they need to do well on tests. 36 You will find your test anxiety eases when you start to

43、 study more regularly. The reason is that the more you know the materials, the more confident youll feel. Having confidence in going into a test means expect to do well.Watch what youre thinking. If expecting to do well on a test can help you relax, what about if you expect you wont do well? 37 They

44、 can contribute to your anxiety. If you find yourself having these thoughts, replace them with positive ones. Dont send unrealistic positive messages, of course, but ones that are practical and true.Accept mistakes. Another thing you can do is learn to keep mistakes in view-especially if you are a p

45、erfectionist or you tend to be hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. You may have heard teachers refer to mistakes as learning opportunities. 38 39 If sitting for a test gets you so stressed out that your mind goes blank and you miss the answers that you know, your level of test anxiety probabl

46、y needs some attention. Your teacher or your school guidance counselor (顾问) can be good people to talk with。Take care of yourself. For some people, this might mean learning a simple breathing exercise. Practise breathing exercises regularly when you feel stressed. 40 Then you can calm yourself down

47、and get centeredA. Ask for help.B. Learn to praise yourself.C. This helps your body receive a signal to relax.D. But good study habits and skills are more important.E.
