My track and field coach, Mr Jones, had decided to get the team to take part in the 4x100m race. It would be the first time that we were running in such a race. We needed to work as a team to improve on our speed. The most critical moment was the passing of the baton (接力棒) at the right time to the next runner.
Mr Jones had chosen me to start the race. The next runner would be Susan. In the beginning, whenever we practised passing the baton, something would go terribly wrong. I would either be going too slowly or she would be taking off too late. We needed to perfect it. At the same time, I had to make sure that I would not go beyond the yellow line.
Finally it was the day of the race. We were confident that the gold medal would be ours. Each of us had improved in our running speed. Our passing of the baton had been perfected during the practices.
My reactions were exact and accurate as I started running. Everything felt the way it should as I sprinted towards Susan. I held the baton in my sweaty palms, promising myself not to let go. My long legs moved me as fast as I could go round the comer. As I came closer to my final steps, my heart was beating faster than usual. The cheering by the spectators (观众) got into me and I became nervous. “What if we lose?” I thought to myself. It was then that I saw Susan in the far distance.
I held out the baton and continued running quickly towards Susan. Susan yelled “Slow down, slow down!” However, it was too late. The official held up the red flag. It was then that I realized that I had gone beyond the yellow line.
24. What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. Going too slowly. B. Taking off too late.
C. Passing the baton. D. Going beyond the yellow line.
25. Why was author confident of winning the race?
A. They worked as a team and were supported by the spectators.
B. They had perfected the running speed and the passing of the baton.
C. They had learned how to avoid breaking the rules in the race.
D. They gained an advantage of a stable state of mind in the race.
26. What can we infer about the author?
A. He ran too fast throughout the race. B. He lost his focus in the race.
C. His start skill needed improving. D. He was not well-trained in running.
27. How would the author feel after the race?
A. Proud. B. Grateful. C. Puzzled. D. Disappointed.

Time wasters are real enemies of success. Time wasters could be people, events or habits that lead to the opposite path away from our goals. The most important starting point in removing the time wasters in life is to know about them. We need
to sit down and analyze the activities which take our time.
Start by making a list of our activities and sort out the neither urgent nor important ones. Sometimes it could be a simple addiction to a TV Soap Opera, constant distractions, or even one of our core (核心的) activities that we are not excellent at doing. We can, for instance, imagine that we are a business owner and we keep sabotaging our business deals, leading the company into great financial problems. It may be time for us to have our associates do the marketing while we concentrate on the areas we are best in. The next thing would be to make sure that we plan our daily activities. One of the obvious reasons is that we will have an upper hand in fighting against time wasters in our schedule. If what we want to do or what we don’t want to do becomes clear, our focus is strengthened.
Moreover, when we think of people we spend time with, we are sure to notice that some have a more positive impact on our success while others have a negative one. It is important to be able to distinguish them especially with regard to our schedule. While we do not advocate for everyone to throw away relationships, it is good to know that helping a friend who is emotionally disturbed can wait till dinner time. Finally, do the same to our habits. List all the habits and addictions that take any amount of our time. Then, take a little time to straighten them out in line with their importance and urgency.
Depending on our analysis, kill those that are harmful to our goals in life.
28. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Importance of Developing Good Habits
B. The Significance of Planning Daily Activities
C. Ways of Distinguishing People we Spend Time with
D. Ways of Removing Time Wasters from Our Lives
29. The underlined word “sabotaging” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. promoting B. offering C. damaging D. striking
30. What do we know about time wasters from the passage?
A. They fail to set clear goals for their life.
B. They arrange things on importance and need.
C. They turn away our attention from achieving goals.
D. They are addicted to sorting out the important activities.
31. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?
A. P1→P2→P3→P4 B. P1→P2, P3→P4
C. P1→P2, P3,P4 D. P1, P2, P3→P4
D
Screaming is one of the responses humans share with other animals. Conventional thinking suggests that what sets a scream apart from other sounds is its loudness. However, many sounds that are loud do not raise goose bumps like screams can. To find out what makes human screams unique, neuroscientist Luc Arnal and his team examined a bank of sounds containing sentences spoken or screamed by 19 adults. The result shows screams and screamed sentences had a quality called “roughness,” which refers to how fast a sound changes in loudness. While normal speech sounds only have slight differences in loudness—between 4 and 5 Hz, screams can switch very fast, varying between 30 and 150 Hz, thus considered to be rough and unpleasant.
Arnal’s team asked 20 subjects to judge screams as fearful or not, and found that the scariest are almost always connected with roughness. The team then studied how the human brain responds to roughness using fMRI brain scanners (磁共振颅脑扫描仪). As expected, after hearing a scream, activity increased in the brain’s hearing centers where sound coming into the ears is processed. But the scans also lit up in the amygdale (脑扁桃体), the brain’s fear center.
The amygdala is the area that responds to danger. When a threat is detected, our adrenaline (肾上腺素) rises, and our body prepares to react to danger. The study found that roughness isn’t heard when we speak naturally, but the most annoying alarm clocks, car horns, and fire alarms possess high degrees of roughness.
One potential application for this research might be to add roughness to alarm sounds to make them more effective, the same way a bad smell is added to natural gas to make it the easily to be detected. Warning sounds could also be added to electric cars, which are particularly silent, so they can be efficiently detected by
pedestrians.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Different types of screams. B. Specific features of screams.
C. Human sounds and animal cries. D. Sound changes and screamed sentences.
33. What does the underlined phrase “raise goose bumps” probably mean?
A. Make people feel unpleasant. B. Make people feel cold.
C. Make people rude and rough. D. Make people unique.
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Roughness is commonly heard in many artificial sounds.
B. The traveling speed makes screams different from other sounds.
C. Very little scientific research has been done on human screams.
D. Normal human speech sounds vary between 30 to 150 Hz in loudness.
35. What device may be improved with the researchers’ findings?
A. Traffic lights. B. Security cameras.
C. Smart phones. D. Smoke detectors.

Wanting to be “liked”
38 The 19-year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was emitting social media because it made her unable to stop thinking about appearing perfect online. 39 Teenagers who get negative comments can’t help but feel hurt.
40

Dear editors,
I’m writing to share my views on sharing economy. Nowadays, a range of products including shared bikes, cars and umbrellas can be rented if you need. The sharing economy has brought us convenience in our life.
However, problems brought by the sharing economy have become increasingly worse, such as the lack of market supervision, dishonesty merchants and bad users.
Therefore, the sharing economy should be taken very seriously. Firstly, more
strict policies and laws should be made. Secondly, companies should do more surveys about the market to improve the products or services. Besides, more cooperation and discussion should be carried out among the government, the merchants and the users.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
