Being deaf in a hearing world can lead to painful feelings of isolation(孤独).
Waitress Kelsey recently shared an experience on a social media sharing site that
quickly zoomed(陡直上升) to the top of the “ front page of the Internet”. In her brief post,
Kelsey explained that she waits tables at a bar during the evenings, and one night she noticed
a deaf man sitting alone in her section(区域).
When Kelsey isn’t working at the bar she makes a good hourly pay doing sign language
interpretation(翻译), so she sensed an opportunity to use her skill to make this customer feel
a little less alone in the world. She approached his table and began chatting with him in sign
language.
When the table next to his noticed their silent conversation they asked Kelsey how long3
she’d been signing. They had a brief conversation about her goal of becoming certified(合格
的) to interpret sign language in a medical or mental health setting.She didn’t think much
about the whole exchange until the customers had left the restaurant and she was tidying up
the tables. There, on the table of the customers who’d seen her American sign language
conversation with the deaf man, was a handwritten note on the receipt.
"Thank you for what you do; it absolutely matters!” the note said. “Good luck with
finishing your degree!” Not only that, but they’d left her a $100 tip.
Kelsey was moved by the kind note, especially because she wasn’t doing anything out
of the ordinary. To her, she was just conversing with someone in a language that only they
understood. Yet to the deaf man and the people seated next to him she’d bridged a gap and
helped someone who probably feels lonely a lot of the time.
Kelsey shared the note on the Internet to spread more love and light in the world.
24．What do we know about Kelsey’s work at the bar？
A．It is her part-time job.
B．It goes beyond her ability.
C．It requires her to work all day long.
D．It offers her a chance to learn sign language.
25．What can we infer about the deaf man?
A．He left Kelsey $100 as a tip.
B．He could use sign language.
C．He found it hard to communicate with Kelsey.
D．He was a friend of the customers at the next table.
26．What did the people at the table next to the deaf man think of Kelsey?
A．She is wasting time working as a waitress.
B．She needs to study further for a degree.
C．She should use the Internet as a tool.
D．She is so kind to serve those in need.
27．What lesson can we learn from Kelsey’s experience?
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．It is never too late to learn.
C．Kindness is repaid with kindness.
D．When in Rome, do as Romans do.
C
Taking paternity leave（陪产假）shortly after the birth of a new son or daughter may be
the key to developing strong father-child bonds that last for years, says new research from
Ball State University.
“We find that 9-year-olds report greater satisfaction with father involvement, ” said
Richard Petts, a Ball State sociology professor who carried out the research with Chris
Knoester at the Ohio State University and Jane Waldfogel at Columbia University. “They feel
closer to their fathers and report better communication with their dads if their fathers take
paternity leave, and especially if their fathers take two or more weeks of leave.”
“We found evidence that part of the reason why two or more weeks of paternity leave
may lead to 9-year-olds expressing greater satisfaction seems to be that longer periods of
paternity leave-taking link to parental relationship satisfaction, ”said Petts.
The study is the latest in a series examining the effects of parental leave in the
development of children and its influence on the family. It is also the first research known to
assess the associations between paternity leave and children’s opinions of father-child
relationship quality in the United States, Petts said.
Petts said the findings of the study will help families and policymakers（政策制定者）
who aim to strengthen families and improve higher quality father-child relationships.
The present structure（结构）of paternity leave in the United States provides limited
opportunities for fathers to take leave and，in fact, often discourages fathers from taking leave,
he said.
“The possibility to take leave is often limited to higher-income families,” Petts said. “A
lack of a national paid family leave policy limits access to important benefits for American
families. The present structure may be increasing inequalities.” Petts said that providing
equal access to paternity leave may help to change these patterns and strengthen family
relationships.
28．How was the research probably carried out?
A．By tracking families.
B．By talking with mothers
C．By interviewing the kids
D．By recording children ’s behavior
29．What is found about paternity leave?
A．It makes young kids become dependent.
B．It is determined by parental relationships.
C．It encourages men to become better fathers.
D．It improves father-child relationship quality.
30．What do we know about the research?
A．It is welcomed by young fathers.4
B．It is the first to study parental leave.
C．It is probably helpful to policymakers.
D．It is more important than similar studies.
31．What is the problem with the present structure of paternity leave in the US?
A．Paid paternity leave is only two weeks long.
B．There is no policy to encourage paternity leave.
C．Low-income families think little of paternity leave.
D．High-income fathers are too busy to take paternity leave.
D
People spend about a third of their life sleeping and cannot survive without it. But while
scientists have long understood the importance of getting enough sleep, the key part played
by light exposure can sometimes be overlooked（忽视）. The reason why light is so important
is that it sets our body clock, through specialized light sensors within the eye. Our eye detects
the light and dark cycle within our environment and adjusts the body clock so that the inner
and outer day coincide（相符）. This is so powerful that people who have eye damage can find
their body clock is thrown off, leading to sleep problems.
Without any access to light, the human body clock appears to change, adding about half
an hour on to its 24-hour cycle for each day of darkness. Jet lag(飞行时差反应) is the most
obvious example of the effect light can have. Exposure to light in the new time zone helps
reset our body clock to local time, telling us the right time to sleep.
In 1800, most people across the world worked outside and were exposed to the change
from day to night. Today, many of us miss out on the natural environment as we mostly work
inside. We have become a light-deprived（光照不足的）species, and this has far-reaching
consequences for the quality of our sleep, and consequently our well-being. The proper
amount varies from person to person, but we do know that our bodies need exposure to very
bright light that most indoor lighting does not provide. One notable side effect is Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD), a form of depression thought to affect 2-8% of Europeans, which
is linked to lack of sunlight exposure.
Research in this area could help people make informed choices. Simply by reducing
light exposure before going to bed, and trying to get as much morning light as possible, they
could improve their sleep and well-being.
32．What does the underlined part“it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．The sensor. B．Sleep. C．Light. D．The eye.
33．Why is jet lag mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A．To show people in different time zones have different sleep patterns.
B．To advise frequent fliers to get plenty of sun to avoid discomfort.
C．To prove irregular light and dark cycles affect our body clock.
D．To explain why our body clock has a 24-hour cycle.
34．What can we learn about SAD from the text?
A．It comes along with cold temperatures.
B．It results from a lack of natural light.
C．It affects people living on islands.
D．It happens mainly in summer.
35．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy.
B．Natural light is the key to a good night’s sleep.
C．Our body clock is linked to the mood disorder.
D．Life is really hard for nightbirds.
第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。
Here are five cooking habits that could be costing you important nutrients, causing you
to overeat – or even making you sick.
Boiling vegetables
A 2015 review showed that boiling vegetables resulted in a high loss of vitamin C. 36
“If you’re not drinking a soup, you’re missing out on nutrients,” says Nishta Saxena, a
dietitian（营养学家）based in Toronto.
Washing chicken
While your favourite old cookbooks likely tell you to wash a chicken before cooking,
this outdated advice is a safety risk. Cleaning meat in water may remove some of the bacteria,
but it’s also likely to pass it around your kitchen. 37 And clean your hands after you’ve
finished the cooking.
Removing skins from fruits and vegetables
“Large amounts of nutrients are found in the skins,” says Liz Powell, a dietitian from
Vancouver. “Concern about chemical remains isn’t a good enough reason to do the removing.
38 ”
Mixing everything
A smoothie (a mixed drink) is a smart way to eat some greens. 39 They’re often
short of protein and healthy fat. These things work together to keep us feeling full and
satisfied. Without them, it’s not really a balanced meal. Powell suggests adding some foods
which contain protein or having a piece of wholewheat(全麦的) bread on the side.
O verdressing salads5
We think we can add anything to salads, and they’ll still be a nutritious choice. But it’s
just not true. If you’re topping your bowl with dried strawberries and sweet cheese, you’ve
easily added 30 grams of sugar to your so-called healthy lunch. 40 .
A．You should choose healthy produce for your family.
B．But these kinds of drinks are likely to be unbalanced.
C．To stay safe, don’t wash the meat when preparing it.
D．Cabbage, for example, loses about 33% of its vitamin C.
E．Nuts are better choices to improve the taste of your greens.
F．The skins of potatoes contain more nutrients than its inside part.
G．Washing your produce will remove some chemicals from the surface.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词正确形式。
Why is the news important?
Having access(机会) to up-to-date information has value in the modern world because
the nature of the world is 61 (constant) changing. Without regular access to news,
most people would be unaware of the various events 62 (take) place that have an
influence on their lives.
As everything that happens does not affect all people equally, news 63
(organization) generally don’t make their news for a specific person. This is why many of the
stories that 64 (show) on nightly news programs are far-reaching and varied. The
same applies to even the local newspaper, 65 divides its pages into a variety of
different sections, including local 66 (nation) and world news. Further, events
happening in a distant location can affect economies(经济) and various products over the
long term. This means that having access to this information can help investors(投资者) to
better understand 67 is affecting their investments and allow them 68 (react)6
accordingly. The continuous dry weather in a foreign country can cause grain prices to rise in
other areas as the hungry 69 (populate) begins calling for help. Finally, political
environment changes too quickly, and without being informed, it’s difficult for people who
are affected 70 it to be prepared for the results.
