A
Eat healthier. Exercise twice a week. Read more books. Lose weight. We make the same resolutions
(决心) every year, but most of us fail, dying out after only a few days or, at best, weeks. Even the most
successful among us crash and burn when it comes to personal change. President Barack Obama struggles to get out of his cigarette habit.
英语试题卷 第 8 页 （共 8 页）
Professionals who help people make changes in their lives suggest the change is decided not by one’s surroundings, but one’s mind. Beginning with small goals or steps usually leads to a better result later, they say. But they notice that the experience is different for everyone.
“People are more likely to make positive changes in their lives not only when their friends do, but when their friends of friends do, and when their friends of friends of friends do,” said Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard University. “People are better able to make changes in their
lives—lose weight, quit smoking, become happy—when they do this with a large number of other people, and so taking advantage of your social network ties can contribute to your own efforts.”
Johnny Augustin understands that well. His resolution for 2008 was to reduce 30 pounds from his
237-pound frame. But the change didn’t come easily. He said, “I’m a huge procrastinator, I kept putting it off until tomorrow. I didn’t get to do it until the summer.” However, Augustin got encouraged when he saw his older brother working out. Today, Augustin weighs 190 pounds.
“Of course, change can happen only if people don’t set their expectations too high or try to deal with too many changes at once; one of the biggest mistakes we make is setting unrealistic goals,” said Dalia Liera, a psychologist at Lesley University. “You can’t accomplish in a few weeks what you haven’t accomplished in a few years,” said Liera.
21. From the first paragraph we can infer that .
A. change for a person is challenging
B. famous people have great resolutions
C. most people don’t want to change themselves
D. personal change is beyond belief
22. The word “procrastinator” in Paragraph 4 refers to those who .
A. have great determination to make a change B. put off work especially because of laziness C. have habitual carelessness and laziness
D. have no desire to do something great
23. According to the passage, Dalia Liera suggested that _ .
A. people should understand their goals well
B. people should try their best to change themselves C. people should have confidence and positive habits D. people should start with setting small goals to meet
B
UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, “Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻
子).” Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But
if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out at (抨击) us.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some
other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主).
It’s once believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, “This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale (规模), human population density (密度), wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病).”
In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For
example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.
However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants,
capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.

Although we don’t know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it’s time for people to “reflect on our relationship with our planet” and “reconnect with this world and everything that we’ve been given”. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, “Nature is not the place to visit. It’s our home.”
24. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?
A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals. B. It’s impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.
C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world. D. Humans should live peacefully with nature.
25. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. How human beings become their own masters.
B. How human activities cause global warming.
C. How human beings break the balance of nature.
D. How humans use technology to improve their lives.
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?
A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak.
B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.
C. To describe experts’ predictions on new pandemics.
D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.

February, 2015, a South Korean woman was sleeping on the floor when her robot vacuum (吸尘器)
ate her hair, forcing her to call for emergency help. It surely isn’t what Stephen Hawking warned us that intelligent devices “mean the end of the human race”. But it does highlight one of the unexpected dangers of inviting robots into our home.
There are many examples of intelligent technology going bad, but more oft en than not, they involve
cheating rather than physical danger.
Meanwhile, increasing evidence suggests that we, especially children, tend to tell our deepest, darkest secrets to human robots. So how do we protect ourselves from giving-away code?
Once you’ve invited a robot into your home, you need to manage your expectations. Movies and marketing may have told us to expect deep interaction with robots friends but we’ve still got a long way to go before they are as socially aware as described. Given the gulf between expectation and reality, it’s
important to avoid being tricked.
The message is clear: as robots became increasingly connected to the internet, and able to respond to natural language, you need to especially cautious about figuring out who or what you are talking about.
We also need to think about how information is being stored and shared when it comes to robots that can record our every move. Some recording devices may have been designed for entertainment but can easily be adapted for more dangerous purposes. Take Nixie, the wearable camera that can fly off your wrist at a moment’s notice and take shots around you in the air. It doesn’t take much imagination to see
how such technology could be taken advantage of.
Most people protect their secrets in the presence of a recording device. But what happens once we get used to a robot around the house, answering every instruction and call? We may be at risk of letting our guard down, treating them as extended member of our family. If the technology around us is able to record and process speech, images and movement, or listen secretly to us, what will happen to that
information? Where will it be stored？Who will have access? If our internet history can be a mirror, these
details could be worth their gold weight to advertisement company. If we grow accustomed to having trustworthy robots getting into our daily lives, our words and deeds could easily become over-exposed.
So, what is the safest way to welcome robots into our homes, public spaces, and social lives? We should be cautiously optimistic that intelligent machines could become enriching companions, while acknowledging that we need to determine strict boundaries for robots.
We might think of expanding the reach of consumer protection agencies or creati ng new
robot-centered policies. Advances in robots may call for a body responsible for the combination of robots with society. There should be someone to turn to should your robot commit a crime, steal your car… or try to eat your hair.

Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives. Self-confident people tend to see their lives in a positive light. 31 The good news is that self-confidence really can be learned and built on. 32
★ 33
It’s easy to lose confidence if you can’t discover your positive attributes, your limitless potential and the beauty of your own existence. Make a list of all the things you’re proud of in your life. It might be as simple as driving your car or giving a speech. Keep the list close by and add to it whenever you do something you’re proud of. When you’re low in confidence, pull out the list and use it to remind yourself you are so excellent.
★ Be prepared to fail with confidence
Self-confidence gives you the freedom to make mistakes and cope with failure without feeling that you are a worthless person. So if you suffer a setback, the best thing you can do is to recognize it, apologize, and make a plan for avoiding it in the future. 34 Low self-confidence is often caused by the negative thoughts running through our minds on an endless track.
★ Be comfortable with fear
You may think that people who are self-confident are never fearful. This simply is not true. Fear means you are at your growing edge. Perhaps your fear is speaking in front of a group, introducing yourself to someone you don’t know, or asking your boss for a raise.
★ Look in the mirror and smile
Studies surrounding what’s called the “facial feedback theory” suggest that the expressions on your face can actually encourage your brain to register or intensify certain emotions. So by looking in the mirror and smiling every day, you might feel happier about your appearance, and to accept the way you look. 35
A. Look at what you’ve already achieved
B. Don’t let the failure make you think you don’t have what it takes to achieve your dreams
C. Those who lack self-confidence, however, are more likely to have a negative perspective about the life
D. Try some of the tips listed below to help you stay confident
E. This will also help you feel more confident in the long run
F. When you are able to confront what you fear, you will gain self-confidence
G. Think about who in your life can really help you build up confidence

For nearly a thousand years, tea stayed the secret of the East. Then, in the 1500s, the Portuguese
56 (gradual) arrived in China. They’d travelled to the Far East hoping to control the spice trade. But soon 57 tasting the brew for the first time, the 58 (explore) quickly realized its potential and decided to focus on exporting tea instead. The Portuguese called the drink cha, just like the people of southern China did. From the port of Canton, the Portuguese shipped the 59 (process) leaves down through Indonesia, under the southern tip of Africa, and back up to 60 (west) Europe.
But long before the root word “cha” made 61 (it) way across the oceans to Portugal, another trade route called the “Tea-Horse” road 62 (spread) tea westward. 63 bricks of tea packed up high on the carriers’ backs, the leaf travelled to India via Persia, 64 the Chinese “cha” turned into the Persian “chay”. Depending on the region of India, most Indian dialects use some variation
of the root word “cha” 65 (describe) tea.

The event that stands out in Tom’s memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
英语试题卷 第 8 页 （共 8 页）
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor (走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he
followed suit (跟着做).
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called
Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pajamas ( 睡 衣)—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she
would still be sleeping. She pounded (猛敲) the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!”
