Finding time to do both homework and exercise is getting easier for students at a growing number
of schools. Workout machines are appearing in many school libraries. The latest school to fix the Fit
Desk Bike Desk is Troy University, which now has a total of six in the libraries. Over the past three
years, the Bike Desks have also been fixed at four other universities.
The idea of pushing “active workplaces" is far from new. From standing offices to treadmill(
跑步机)meetings, companies have been exploring the benefits of getting employees up from their
desks—benefits that include higher morale (士气)and improved work performance. And a recent
study that focuses on younger children suggests a strong connection between physical activities and
good grades.
Chris Shaffer, who is the director of library services at Troy University, says he thought it would
be worth experimenting with the machines. “The final goal is to make the library a welcoming place
that our students want to visit", says Shaffer, “If we can find a way to let our students study and become
healthier at the same time, then I am all for it. ” He says the experiment is so successful so far that the
university has ordered three additional Bike Desks.
Troy junior Niquette says the bikes have been in use every day he has visited the library.
“Keeping a proper diet and exercise schedule during college is near impossible, "he says, “These offer
a special way to study and I hope the university continues to add more." Senior Raven hasn't used the
Bike Desks yet but says she wishes they'd been fixed sooner. “I remember being a junior and the gym
is so crowded, with the smell of sweat, loud music and people moving around," Raven says, “I think
the machines are a great idea. You can do sports quietly while others focus on their study.
24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. University students are doing more exercise now.
B. Doing homework is easy for university students now.
C. Troy University introduced the Bike Desk to other schools.
D. Fixing workout machines in libraries is becoming popular.
25. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The types of exercise at workplaces.
B. The explanation of work performance.
C. The development of active workplaces.
D. The benefits of exercising during work and study.
26. What is the purpose of fixing the Bike Desks according to Shaffer?5
A. To make the library attractive to students.
B. To make students become healthier.
C. To help students to get good grades.
D. To do experiments on the machines.
27. What do Niquette and Raven think about the bikes?
A. They are easy to ride. B. They are really useful.
C. They make the library noisy. D. They distract students.
C
I have been passionate about sewing and fashion design since I was 12. Two years ago, I
designed and made a set of outfits from recyclable materials for a charity fashion show. Through this
highly meaningful and profound experience, I became sensitized to the importance of protecting and
preserving our environment when designing and making fashion items, resulting in my founding an
organization to promote eco-friendly design and fashion.
My interest has led me to research areas of fashion that have environmental implications. For
example, some popular clothing stores have announced merchandizing policies designed to improve
the environment. For those of us who are eco-conscious, it is incumbent upon us to evaluate whether
such policies are just a marketing ploy, or represent genuine efforts to protect our environment.
Three chain-stores, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Forever 21, have been promoting "green"
items. After I examined their products, I have concluded that H&M and Urban Outfitters are truly
helping the environment with their efforts, while Forever 21 seems to be using the 'go green' trend as
a way to sell more products, rather than genuinely help the environment.
Of these three stores, H&M has the most extensive eco-fashion plans. It is already well on its
way to implementing its plans by increasingly blending organic cotton into their garments, as well as
putting fully organic cotton items on the market. The store also belongs to the Organic Exchange
Organization, which endorses growth of organic cotton. To reduce the substantial harm from non-
organic cotton production, H&M is involved with the Better Cotton Initiative. Mindful of the
adverse effects of climate change, the store aims to minimize transportation and energy usage. H&M
labels their eco-friendly products with an official symbol, the Flower, to represent a production
system that is less harmful than most traditional processes. Because of these actions and policies,
H&M is already well on its way to making a difference on the environment.
With its Urban Renewal brand, Urban Outfitter takes a different approach from H&M in
promoting eco-friendly fashion. The brand features women's apparel made from strictly
environmentally-friendly sources, such as vintage, dead stock, or surplus clothing. Urban Renewal
produces fashionable garments, and embraces being eco-friendly through recycling.6
Unlike the other two stores above, Forever 21's eco-fashion efforts fall short; a cynic would say
their message is downright misleading. It promotes the "'green" image, and yet many of their
supposed eco-friendly products do not help the environment. For example, it sells a "Think Green
Tote" that, according to the site, is meant "to send an environmentally friendly message". However,
it is made of 100% non-organic cotton which is one of the most damaging fabrics to the
environment, mostly because it requires greater chemical intervention compared to organic cotton.
Also, the "I Love My Planet Tote" is supposed to "make a positive statement," but is also made of
100% cotton that is not organic. The only tote that is environmentally-friendly is the "H81 Organic
Cotton Tote" from Forever 21's Heritage brand, made from 100% organic cotton. Now that Forever
21 has portrayed itself as being "green," it should start "walking the walk."
28. The author writes the texts simply to ____.
A. state we should take action but not play tricks in ecological protection
B. appeal to Forever 21 not to use commercial campaign illegally
C. remind us of the damage to the environment of traditional processes
D. analyze the concept of eco-friendly design and fashion
29. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ____.
A. the Forever 21 has already been on its way to transform its negative image
B. the writer publicly urges the Forever 21 to put its campaign into practice
C. all the customers are trying not to walk into the Forever 21 to buy products
D. the environmental problem is so serious that we should pay more attention
30. The passage is developed by ____.
A. giving concrete figures B. showing cause and effect
C. using time order D. making comparison and contrast
31. Which of the following statements can be the best title?
A. A Survey of Eco-Friendly Design on Fashion Markets.
B. Green Products Are Common in Fashion Stores.
C. Are Chain Stores in Fashion Really Going Green?
D. Does the Trend of Eco-Friendly Help the Environment?
D
How does keeping things tidy change people psychologically? You gain greater confidence in
yourself. Also, you become more optimistic and calmer in the mind than before. There are several
reasons for these changes:your self-image improves as you start living in tidy beautiful rooms, and
you gain decision-making skills as you continue to choose between which things to throw or give
away and which to keep. The way we let go of things in the Kon Mari Method plays an important role 7
as well.
The Kon Mari Method has a step where we give thanks to the things before we throw them away.
Not only would you say “thank you for sparking joy in me" to a favorite piece of clothing that you
wore till it was threadbare, you would also say to a piece of clothing you never wore once “thank you
for teaching me that this color doesn't look good on me". You will appreciate the roles of all the things
that have come to you and experience appreciation for all of them. Through this experience, you will
rediscover the truth that you have been supported by so many things and you will deepen your gratitude
for things you leave behind.
To share a personal example, I have always had little confidence in myself. When I get nervous
before a large speaking assignment, I think to myself that I'll be fine because these clothes are
protecting me and these shoes are supporting me, and that calms me down. Once you start feeling
constant gratitude for your things and your home through tidying up, you will start feeling relief and
calm as if you are always protected by something larger than you.
32. What psychological change may tidiness bring to people?
A. They will become more confident. B. Their confidence will become less.
C. They will become less optimistic. D. Their self-image will be damaged.
33. What does the underlined word “threadbare" mean in the second paragraph?
A. fashionable B. fancy C. out of date D. worn out
34. What should people show to clothes they have never worn in the Kon Mari Method?
A. Regret. B. Worry. C. Gratitude. D. Patience.
35. Why does the author mention his own experience in the last paragraph?
A. To show off his wonderful speaking skills.
B. To give an example of the benefit of tidiness.
C. To explain how he has become a confident person.
D. To show his special taste in choosing suitable clothes.
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填入空白处的最佳选项,有两项为多余项。
___36___ While these compulsive(无法控制的) actions may appear to be irrational or
pointless, and may even result in negative consequences, the individual experiencing the compulsion
feels unable to stop him or herself.
The compulsive behavior can be a physical act, like hand washing, or a mental activity, like
counting objects. When an otherwise harmless behavior becomes so consuming that it negatively
impacts oneself or others, it may be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)(强迫症).
___37___The former is an overwhelming desire to do something, while an addiction is a 8
physical or chemical dependence on a substance or behavior. People with addictions will continue
their addictive behavior, even when they understand that doing so is harmful to themselves and
others. ___38___
Unlike compulsions and addictions, which are acted out uncontrollably, habits are actions that
are repeated regularly and automatically.
Habits typically develop over time through a natural process called “habituation,” during which
repetitive actions that must be consciously initiated eventually become subconscious and are carried
out habitually.
While there are good habits and bad, unhealthy habits, any habit can become a compulsion or
even an addiction. ___39___ For example, the good habit of exercising regularly can become an
unhealthy compulsion or addiction when done to excess.
Common habits often develop into addictions when they result in a chemical dependency, as in
the cases of smoking. The habit of having a glass of beer with dinner, for example, becomes an
addiction when the desire to drink turns into a physical or emotional need to drink.
___40___While we can choose to add good, healthy habits to our routines, we can also choose
to break old harmful habits.
A. A compulsion is different from an addiction.
B. It currently affects about 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in the U.S.
C. Some of these behaviors are visible actions while others are mental behaviors.
D. In other words, you really can have “too much of a good thing.”
E. Compulsive behaviors are actions that a person feels “compelled” or driven to do over and over
again.
F. Alcoholism, smoking, and gambling are perhaps the most common examples of addictions.
G. Of course, the key difference between a compulsive behavior and a habit is the ability to choose
to do them or not.

Whenever Michael Carl, the fashion market director at Vanity Fair, goes out to dinner with
friends, he plays something called the “phone stack” game: Everyone 41 their phones in the
middle of the table; whoever looks at their device before the check arrives 42 for dinner.
Brandon Holley, the former editor of Lucky magazine, had trouble 43 her iPhone when she
got home from work. So about six months ago, she 44 putting her phone into a milk tin the
moment she walked in it remains there until after dinner.9
And Marc Jacobs, the fashion designer, didn’t 45 to sleep close to a beeping gadget. So,

recent screening of “Disconnect”, a film that dramatizes how technology has alienated(使疏远
)people from one another.
As smartphones 48 to make their way into our lives, and wearable devices like Google
Glass 49 our personal space even further, overtaxed users are exploring their own device-free
zones. Whether it’s a physical barrier (no iPads at the dinner table) or a conceptual one (turn off
devices by 11 p.m.), users say these disconnecting 50 are improving their relationships---and
51 their brains.
“Disconnecting is a luxury that we all 52 ,” said Lesley M. M. Blume, a New York writer
who keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home. “The expectation that we must always be
53 to employers, colleagues and family creates a real obstacle in trying to 54 private time. But
that private time is more important than ever.”
A popular method for disconnecting is to choose a box for your cellphone, like the milk tin that
MS. Holley uses. “ 55 my phone is buzzing or lighting up, it’s still a distraction, so it 56 in
the box.” said Ms. Holley. Others choose new 57 . “No screens after 11 p. m.” said Ari Melber,
a TV host. “We found the evenings were more 58 and we were sleeping better.” he added.
Sleeping is a big factor, which is why some 59 to leave their phones out of their bedrooms. “I
don’t want to sleep next to something full of phones and emails.” said Peter Som, a fashion designer,
who keeps his phone charging in the living room overnight. “It 60 is a head-clearer and
distinguishes daytime and sleep time.”

第四部分 写作(概要写作,满分 25 分)
86. 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
In the popular imagination, the rise of self-driving cars will mean greener cities, safer roads,
and happier workers. With technology, speeding, braking, and reaccelerating—which are responsible
for much of the gas burned on roads, today and the resulting air pollution—would be a memory. But
despite these opportunities, there are certain reasons why driverless vehicles may fail to live up to
some of these expectations, or at least take a little while longer to achieve them.
First, truly automated technology — at least the kind that requires no human involvement —is
rare in every sector of the economy, and there’s little reason to think driving will be any different.
There is a permanent need for a human to be the solid backup, which means human drivers will still
bear the final responsibility for the cars they’re riding in.
A related challenge—particularly for driverless cars—is the complexity of the systems
involved. For example, some cars today require over 100 million lines of software code (代码) to 12
keep them running. More code means more functions, which, to some degree, also means more
opportunities for software errors. Driverless cars raise a challenge in this regard and possibly cause
more opportunities for errors that can lead to accidents.
Yet the greatest challenge facing driverless cars isn’t technological, but psychological. Surveys
consistently reveal global skepticism about the technology. Americans, for example, remain more
worried than excited by driverless cars. Over half of the American public says it would not ride one
given the opportunity. This shows a deep-seated lack of trust in the technology. Similar ideas have
been expressed worldwide.
What’s more likely is that human drivers will continue applying some control over their cars,
regardless of how automated those cars are. Some may quarrel with this idea. But automakers have
long been preparing for it. Just ask Nissan, Waymo, and Zoo, all of which are exploring ways for
human drivers to retake control of a car should automation fail. In other words, driverless does not—
and will not—mean human-less.

Contrary to people’s vision of a better city life, self-driving cars are on the road to
nowhere(要点 1). First, like auto-machines in other fields, driverless cars are literally not
completely independent of humans(要点 2). Besides, demanding complicated technology,
such cars can be a threat if a possible error occurs(要点 3). Trust issues for human-less 14
cars, however, remains a major concern( 要点 4). That’s why automakers are seeking
ways to allow drivers more control on their vehicles(要点 5).
