阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
When I was a young girl in 8th grade, my classmates told me how they met new friends and even chatted with celebrities on the Internet. I was fascinated and wanted to experience these exciting things. I opened an online account; this was the beginning of my journey through the virtual world. As time went by, I got used to checking social media more frequently. I lost myself in social media, chatting with friends and sharing my life with them. Social media was a source of happiness and more so, it brought a sense of satisfaction, pain, and frustration.
My newfound interest started influencing my schoolwork. Instead of checking my school notes in time as usual, I checked social media more often to see what was happening with my friends’ lives. But I later discovered that by becoming more aware of other people’s lives, I became less in tune with myself. I was more focused on the illusions social media presented than the realities of my life. Thus, I started to sense depression, jealousy and hatred as a result of comparing my life with others. And I became much like what the people in the virtual world expected of me.
Luckily, my phone went missing and my mother refused to get me a new one. I felt sad and lonely. However, her refusal led to something more meaningful to my life. Within a month, I became less concerned about other people’s lives and more focused on my lessons. And I had more time to study and sleep.
Away from social media also made me realize that social media had been influencing my study habits and my private life. For example, I had no privacy. Anyone who was allowed to see my social media profiles could easily find out where I lived. Moreover, I sometimes spent 15 hours looking through social media without doing anything meaningful.
After examining my use of social media, I decided not to completely quit social media, but to change the way I use them. I unfollowed sites that were not positive or educational to me. I only use social media to spread positive messages and connect with others. Social media is not bad in itself, but it becomes terrible when we are addicted to it.
28. Away from social media made the writer ________.
A. unfollow educational sites B. forget her account
C. focus more on her studies D. develop new hobbies
29. According to the passage, the writer might agree that social media ________.
A. destroys people’s life and should be quit B. challenges people’s self-control ability

A. A personal experience with the virtual world.
B. Disadvantages of phones outweigh benefits.
C. A hard fight in the days without phones.
D. Ways to get away from social media.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者从沉迷于社交媒体而失去自我，到远离社交媒体从而回归正常生活，再到理解社交媒体的真正意义并正确使用社交媒体的过程。

Funny action, Chinese kung fu, and the Monkey King: If you want to re-experience the adventures of Journey to the West《西游记》, then Unruly Heroes《非常英雄》, a 2D action game by Magic Design Studios (MDS) in France, is for you. The game is an example where international talent meets traditional Chinese culture.
“Creating a game based on the novel, Journey to the West, has actually been my dream since I started working.” said Lu Yang, CEO and creative director of MDS. “It is a very dramatic tale set in a big, imaginary world. Every character is described vividly.”
“Everyone in China knows the story, but in European countries or the US, few people know about Journey to the West. I think such a fascinating story should be introduced to more people,” he said.
Released in January, Unruly Heroes has received an 80 percent positive reaction on STEAM. The game features a unique story and cast of characters, where players can change among four characters: Wukong, Sanzang, Kihong and Sandmonk.
The creative team combines many Chinese cultural elements with the art design, building an immersive (沉浸式) world of art, animation and a taste of Chinese folk music. “Our goal is to introduce Journey to the West to the world, and be accepted by players from different cultural backgrounds,” Lu said.
Set against lush (华丽的) environments and a hand-drawn art style, Unruly Heroes updates the Journey to the West classic tale into an adventure that is more colorful, humorous and attractive to people in modern times. As Lu introduced, the game is quite different compared with the original story. “For example, we reimagined White Bone Spirit as the owner of a beauty salon, so players need to destroy her mask to defeat her.”
Lu believes that Chinese culture has strong potential to reach a wider audience, but it needs the efforts of more companies and creative minds.
“We can add Chinese cultural elements into products that are easy for people around the world to understand. Video games, film and TV series, and other cultural and entertainment products resonate (共鸣) easily internationally,” he said.
“I am not a scholar; I simply want to do what I can to present a story I love to more people far and wide,” Lu added.
31. The writer mentions the example of White Bone Spirit in order to ________.
A. show how Unruly Heroes modernizes the story in Journey to the West
B. compare the story in Unruly Heroes with that in Journey to the West
C. explain why Unruly Heroes changes the story in Journey to the West
D. blame Unruly Heroes for changing the story in Journey to the West
32. What can we learn from the passage
A. Journey to the West is famous in Europe and the United States.
B. Many traditional Chinese stories need changing as they are too old.
C. Unruly Heroes avoids Chinese cultural elements to attract more players.
D. With more creativity, Chinese culture will be more widely accepted.
33. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Unruly Heroes: A Tale that Continues to Develop
B. Unruly Heroes: A Game that Takes Chinese Culture Abroad
C. Unruly Heroes: A Story that Makes a Difference
D. Unruly Heroes: An Effort that Creates Traditional Culture
【答案】31. A 32. D 33. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了了《非常英雄》：一款将中国文化带到国外的游戏。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Set against lush environments and a hand-drawn art style, Unruly Heroes updates the Journey to the West classic tale into an adventure that is more colorful, humorous and attractive to people in modern times ... players need to destroy her mask to defeat her.’”可知，《非常英雄》将《西游记》这部经典故事更新为一部更加丰富多彩、幽默风趣、吸引现代人的冒险小说，以白骨精为例进行论述是为了展示《西游记》中英雄如何使故事现代化。故选A。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Lu believes that Chinese culture has strong potential to reach a wider audience, but it needs the efforts of more companies and creative minds.”及“We can add Chinese cultural elements into products that are easy for people around the world to understand. Video games, film and TV series, and other cultural and entertainment products resonate easily internationally”可知，中国文化具有接触更广泛受众的强大潜力，但它需要更多公司和创造性思维的努力。我们可以在产品中加入中国文化元素，让世界各地的人们都能接触到。电子游戏、影视剧等文化娱乐产品很容易在国际上引起共鸣。由上可知，要有更多的创造力，才能让中国文化走向世界，故选D。
【33题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“The game is an example where international talent meets traditional Chinese culture.”及全文可知，文章通过举《非常英雄》这个例子，讲国际人才与中国传统文化交融，可知这里讲述的是通过游戏，让中国文化走向世界，故选B。

The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step further—changing the actual composition (构成) of plants in order to get them to perform different, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors (传感器) printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect chemicals in groundwater. “We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to change the functions of the things that we use every day,” explained Michale Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow (发光) in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a weak light for 3.5 hours. The light, about 1000th of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. “The technology,” Strano said, “could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.”
In the future, the team hopes to develop a kind of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves only once but would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would slowly disappear when the day breaks.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity used in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission (传输). Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
34. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. A new study of different plants. B. Benefits from green plants.
C. A big fall in crime rates. D. Employees from various workplaces.
35. The underlined word “detect” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. put up B. give out C. find out D. slow down
36. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future
A. They might help reduce energy use.
B. They will speed up energy production.
C. They may transmit electricity to the home.
D. They could take the place of power plants.
37. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Can we grow more glowing plants
B. How do we live with glowing plants
C. How are glowing plants made pollution-free
D. Could glowing plants take the place of lamps
【答案】34. B 35. C 36. A 37. D
【解析】

词义猜测题。根据所在句“These include plants that have sensors (传感器) printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect chemicals in groundwater.”可知植物的叶片可以植入传感器产生不同的功能，根据划线词detect后“chemicals in groundwater”可推测传感器可以用来探测地下水中的化学物质，与find out“发现”意思最为接近。故选C。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.”可知，发光植物可以减少能量传输的距离从而帮助节约能源。由此可知，在未来我们可以期待发光植物帮助减少能源的消耗。故选A。
【37题详解】
标题概括题。通读全文内容尤其是第三段最后一句“The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.”可知，文章主要介绍了发光植物在照明方面的研究成果，并预测发光植物将来可能用来照亮房间，甚至将树木转变成自动供电的路灯。由此可推知，D项是本文的最佳标题。故选D。

To Have a Not-to-do List
Like most people, you probably have a to-do list to help you finish a task. However, I would also suggest you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me explain.
This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour. Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three hours.
The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was, “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day.
Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem. He was always choosing between work and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike made a not-to-do list.
Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more than a distraction (注意力分散). However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That is to learn something new every day.
38. What did Mike write on his not-to-do list
________________________________________
39. How long did Mike study the next day
________________________________________
40. According to Paragraph 4, what problem did Mike realize
________________________________________
41. Would you like to make a “not-to-do list” Why or why not (At least two reasons.)
________________________________________
【答案】38. No video games until 7:00 pm.
39. Three and a half hours.
40. Having no restrictions was the problem.
41. Yes, I would. Because it not only helps me focus on my most important task but also helps me develop my self-descipline.(言之有理即可)
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过讲述迈克准备考试的经历，告诉我们列一个“不能做的事情”清单的重要性。
【38题详解】
根据“He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was: ‘No video games until 7:00 pm.’”可知，迈克在清单中写到：晚上7点之前不许玩电子游戏。故填No video games until 7:00 pm.
【39题详解】
根据“Mike went to study, did it for half an hour”及“Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day”可知，迈克第二天共学习了三个半小时。故填Three and a half hours.
【40题详解】
根据“Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem.”可知，迈克意识到没有限制是个问题。故填Having no restrictions was the problem.
【41题详解】
“不能做的事情”清单可以帮助我们在生活和学习中聚焦于重点事项，并且可以帮我们培养自律。故填Yes, I would. Because it not only helps me focus on my most important task but also helps me develop my self-descipline.(言之有理即可)

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
When I was a young girl in 8th grade, my classmates told me how they met new friends and even chatted with celebrities on the Internet. I was fascinated and wanted to experience these exciting things. I opened an online account; this was the beginning of my journey through the virtual world. As time went by, I got used to checking social media more frequently. I lost myself in social media, chatting with friends and sharing my life with them. Social media was a source of happiness and more so, it brought a sense of satisfaction, pain, and frustration.
My newfound interest started influencing my schoolwork. Instead of checking my school notes in time as usual, I checked social media more often to see what was happening with my friends’ lives. But I later discovered that by becoming more aware of other people’s lives, I became less in tune with myself. I was more focused on the illusions social media presented than the realities of my life. Thus, I started to sense depression, jealousy and hatred as a result of comparing my life with others. And I became much like what the people in the virtual world expected of me.
Luckily my phone went missing and my mother refused to get me a new one. I felt sad and lonely. However, her refusal led to something more meaningful to my life. Within a month, I became less concerned about other people’s lives and more focused on my lessons. And I had more time to study and sleep.
Away from social media also made me realize that social media had been influencing my study habits and my private life. For example, I had no privacy. Anyone who was allowed to see my social media profiles could easily find out where I lived. Moreover, I sometimes spent 15 hours looking through social media without doing anything meaningful.
After examining my use of social media, I decided not to completely quit social media, but to change the way I use them. I unfollowed sites that were not positive or educational to me. I only use social media to spread positive messages and connect with others. Social media is not bad in itself, but it becomes terrible when we are addicted to it.
28. Away from social media made the writer ________.
A. unfollow educational sites B. forget her account
C. focus more on her studies D. develop new hobbies
29. According to the passage, the writer might agree that social media ________.
A. destroys people’s life and should be quit B. challenges people’s self-control ability
C. plays an important role in people’s life D. helps to broaden people’s minds
30. What is the passage mainly about
A. A personal experience with the virtual world.
B. Disadvantages of phones outweigh benefits.
C. A hard fight in the days without phones.
D. Ways to get away from social media.
C
Funny action, Chinese kung fu, and the Monkey King: If you want to re-experience the adventures of Journey to the West《西游记》, then Unruly Heroes《非常英雄》, a 2D action game by Magic Design Studios (MDS) in France, is for you. The game is an example where international talent meets traditional Chinese culture.
“Creating a game based on the novel, Journey to the West, has actually been my dream since I started working.” said Lu Yang, CEO and creative director of MDS. “It is a very dramatic tale set in a big, imaginary world. Every character is described vividly.”
“Everyone in China knows the story, but in European countries or the US, few people know about Journey to the West. I think such a fascinating story should be introduced to more people,” he said.
Released in January, Unruly Heroes has received an 80 percent positive reaction on STEAM. The game features a unique story and cast of characters, where players can change among four characters: Wukong, Sanzang, Kihong and Sandmonk.
The creative team combines many Chinese cultural elements with the art design, building an immersive (沉浸式) world of art, animation and a taste of Chinese folk music. “Our goal is to introduce Journey to the West to the world, and be accepted by players from different cultural backgrounds,” Lu said.
Set against lush (华丽的) environments and a hand-drawn art style, Unruly Heroes updates the Journey to the West classic tale into an adventure that is more colorful, humorous and attractive to people in modern times. As Lu introduced, the game is quite different compared with the original story. “For example, we reimagined White Bone Spirit as the owner of a beauty salon, so players need to destroy her mask to defeat her.”
Lu believes that Chinese culture has strong potential to reach a wider audience, but it needs the efforts of more companies and creative minds.
“We can add Chinese cultural elements into products that are easy for people around the world to understand. Video games, film and TV series, and other cultural and entertainment products resonate (共鸣) easily internationally,” he said.
“I am not a scholar; I simply want to do what I can to present a story I love to more people far and wide,” Lu added.
31. The writer mentions the example of White Bone Spirit in order to ________.
A. show how Unruly Heroes modernizes the story in Journey to the West
B. compare the story in Unruly Heroes with that in Journey to the West
C. explain why Unruly Heroes changes the story in Journey to the West
D. blame Unruly Heroes for changing the story in Journey to the West
32 What can we learn from the passage
A. Journey to the West is famous in Europe and the United States.
B. Many traditional Chinese stories need changing as they are too old.
C. Unruly Heroes avoids Chinese cultural elements to attract more players.
D. With more creativity, Chinese culture will be more widely accepted.
33. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Unruly Heroes: A Tale that Continues to Develop
B. Unruly Heroes: A Game that Takes Chinese Culture Abroad
C. Unruly Heroes: A Story that Makes a Difference
D. Unruly Heroes: An Effort that Creates Traditional Culture
D
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step further—changing the actual composition (构成) of plants in order to get them to perform different, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors (传感器) printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect chemicals in groundwater. “We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to change the functions of the things that we use every day,” explained Michale Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow (发光) in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a weak light for 3.5 hours. The light, about 1000th of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. “The technology,” Strano said, “could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.”
In the future, the team hopes to develop a kind of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves only once but would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would slowly disappear when the day breaks.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity used in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission (传输). Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
34. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. A new study of different plants. B. Benefits from green plants.
C. A big fall in crime rates. D. Employees from various workplaces.
35. The underlined word “detect” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.
A. put up B. give out C. find out D. slow down
36. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future
A. They might help reduce energy use.
B. They will speed up energy production.
C. They may transmit electricity to the home.
D. They could take the place of power plants.
37. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Can we grow more glowing plants
B. How do we live with glowing plants
C. How are glowing plants made pollution-free
D. Could glowing plants take the place of lamps

To Have a Not-to-do List
Like most people, you probably have a to-do list to help you finish a task. However, I would also suggest you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me explain.
This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour. Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three hours.
The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was, “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day.
Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem. He was always choosing between work and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike made a not-to-do list.
Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more than a distraction (注意力分散). However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That is to learn something new every day.
38. What did Mike write on his not-to-do list
________________________________________
39. How long did Mike study the next day
________________________________________
40. According to Paragraph 4, what problem did Mike realize
________________________________________
41. Would you like to make a “not-to-do list” Why or why not (At least two reasons.)
