Once, Buddha was walking from one town to another with some of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his followers, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”.
The follower walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very dirty. The follower thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”.
So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The follower obediently (顺从地) went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.
The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the follower and said, “See, you let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got clear water. It didn’t require any effort”.
Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time and it will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. We can judge and best decisions of our life when we stay calm.
24. Why did Buddha asked his follower to collect water?
A. Because they were travelling. B. Because they were passing a river.
C. Because Buddha was too tired to go on. D. Because Buddha wanted a drink.
25. What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The tree. B. The lake. C. The mud. D. The pot.
26. What can you infer about the follower?
A. He is reliable and thoughtful. B. He is humorous and intelligent.
C. He is hesitant and dependent. D. He is picky and impatient.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Trial and Error. B. Sometimes Just Let it Be.
C. Buddha and His Follower. D. Efforts will Pay Off.

Disney has picked Chinese actor Liu Yifei to play Mulan in an upcoming film, following accusations against Hollywood of ‘whitewashing’.
Several Hollywood films have faced criticism in recent months for featuring white actors in Asian roles. Recent films accused of whitewashing include the Hollywood remake of Japanese anime Ghost in the Shell, which had Scarlett Johansson in the main role which was originally Japanese, and Chinese epic The Great Wall which starred Matt Damon as its lead character. Earlier this year, British actor Ed Skrein who was
cast as an Asian character in the upcoming Hellboy remake pulled out of the film so that the role could be “cast appropriately”. It then went to Korean-American actor Daniel Dae Kim.
The live-action adaptation of the 1998 cartoon movie will tell the tale of the well-known Chinese heroine Hua Mulan. Mulan pretended to be a man to fight in the army to spare her weak father from being forced into the army.
The film has been under careful examination since it was announced that Disney intended to remake Mulan. An online campaign calling for an Asian actress in the role attracted more than 100,000 signatures before it was shut on Thursday.
Liu, nicknamed “Fairy Sister” for her delicate looks and previous roles in fantasy dramas, is well-known as an actress, model and singer in China. The 30-year-old is said to be fluent in English, having grown up partly in New York. The Hollywood Reporter said she was picked out of nearly 1,000 candidates for the film.
Disney’s announcement on its blog about Liu’s casting was met with delight on Twitter as well as on Sina Weibo, China’s microblogging network. Many online celebrated it as a win for diversity in Disney films. Chinese-American actress Ming-Na Wen, who voiced Mulan in the original animated movie, also gave her stamp of approval. Chinese netizens congratulated Liu, with many praising Disney’s choice. One commenter said, “Needs to know martial arts, can also speak English, has star quality - it definitely should be Liu Yifei.”
28. Which actor or actress is non-white?
A. Scarlett Johansson B. Matt Damon
C. Ed Skrein D. Daniel Dae Kim.
29. What is true about the coming film Mulan?
A. It is a cartoon film.
B. It is set in ancient China.
C. It has drawn little attention from the public.
D. It is disliked by audience for being cast by white actress.
30. After Disney’s announcement,
A. every American was pleased.
B. Chinese government felt honored.
C. most fans welcomed the decision.
D. more people bought tickets to Disney films.
31. Which section of a website is the text from?
A. Education. B. Science. C. Entertainment. D. Business.
D
A research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors. So our aim is a fully autonomous car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver. Researcher Hodgson points out, “For safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It s a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved.”
It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long believed. His company are determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2017 goal was “to do an example drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York…and have the car park itself.”
However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needs further validation and the appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet.
The UK government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles. It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modem Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account problems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.
The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out, “More than 90 per cent of road accidents are caused by human error.” This costs motor insurers a shocking £20m per
day in claims.
32. What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?
A. New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.
B. The company lacks confidence to make new creations.
C. The software should be made officially acceptable.
D. The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.
33. What is the UK government’s attitude to autonomous cars?
A. Ambiguous. B. Positive.
C. Cautious. D. Disapproving.
34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.
B. Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.
C. Traffic accidents wastes insurance companies quite a lot.
D. Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show his deep love for autonomous cars.
B. To introduce a new development in technology.
C. To amuse readers with funny examples.
D. To provide a persuasive argument against autonomy.

Many people find it hard to lose weight and have to go starvation. Now, I’d like to offer some tricks to help lose weight.
Put out a large vegetable plate. Eating water-rich foods such as tomatoes during meals reduces calorie consumption. Other water-rich foods include soups and salads. 36 Because the body processes hunger and thirst through different systems, it simply doesn’t register a sense of fullness with water (or tea, coffee or juice).
Downsize your dinner plates. The less food put in front of you, the less food you’ll eat. So instead of using standard dinner plates, serve your main course on
salad plates. 37 Instead of large glasses and coffee mugs, return to the old days of cups and even smaller coffee cups.
Serve your dinner restaurant-style (with food already on the plates) rather than family-style (where the food is served in bowls on the table). 38 There’s no reaching for seconds.
39 You’re more likely to eat more---and eat more high-fat, high calorie foods—when you eat out than when you eat at home.
Eat slowly and calmly. 40 Vary your eating with stories of the interesting things that happened during your day. Your brain is behind your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to fullness signals. If you eat slowly enough, your brain will catch up and tell you that you no longer need food. Serving separate courses will also slow you down
A. The same goes for liquids.
B. Eat 90 percent of your meals at home.
C. When your plate is empty, you’re finished.
D. Put your fork or spoon down between every bite.
E. Be sure to choose a high-fiber, low-sugar variety of food.
F. You won’t get the same benefits by just drinking water, though
G. You should eat equal amounts of vegetables and grains at dinner.

第二节 语篇填空（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
This week, we’re preparing for one of the newest 61 (tradition) events in our country: Black Friday. It’s that crazy gathering of retail (零售)-related violence, a time 62 stores offer once-a-year promotional sales to set off the customers’ greediness and jump-start the Christmas shopping season with a sudden activity in a 63 (crowd) space.
The general feeling has been set by the Hamleys Christmas Toy Parade in London, in which 800,000 people ran into Regent Street, apparently attracted by 64 possibility of a “meet-and-greet” with Peppa Pig that sadly 65 (have) to be cancelled at the last moment on safety grounds. As it was, a middle-aged woman 66 (report) had to be taken to hospital after 67 (knock) to the ground in a fight with another woman.
For the people who dislike shopping, such as me, any day with shopping in it is a black day, and Black Friday is the most worrying 68 all. However, I can see the reasoning for retailers. Why spend a lot of money on newspaper ads, when you can offer 50 iPhone Xs at £5 each to the first fifty 69 (consume)? The related media 70 (cover) of the resulting disorder is, as they say, priceless.
