I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: Both my
parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up at my house on that cold
winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!
And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no
limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for shopping?
Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket,
and read. I was thrilled and transported by a book — it was Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises
—and I just needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to
Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn’t bear the thought of sitting in a
classroom taking another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with
a bunch of expatriates (异乡客).
I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and
my role — as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student — in the world no longer had any
meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely
absorbed in something I loved.
Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to
my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway’s language was quietly braiding
itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant
sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it,
I was on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and
happiness is their generous side effect.
3
4. Why did the author skip school on that day?
A. Because her parents left home early. B. Because she was attracted by a novel.
C. Because she planned to go shopping. D. Because she missed the school bus.
5. What did the author think is the source of true joy?
A. Reading by the fire. B. Travelling in Spain.
C. Freeing herself from the roles. D. Being lost in one’s passion.
6. Which word can best replace the underlined phrase “braiding itself into” in the last paragraph?
A. Entering. B. Recovering. C. Weakening. D. Blocking.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. I was aware of the subtle things back then.
B. I simply learnt how to write on the internet.
C. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot.
D. Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.
C
It is an uncomfortable fact that civilized society is almost completely dependent upon fossil
fuels in nearly every aspect. Whether you believe there are hundreds of years or just a few decades
left of this resource, the fact remains that it is a limited resource. At some point, fossil fuels are
going to either be gone or become too expensive to realistically use. That is, when fossil fuels
become too expensive to use, people will just start using something else. Though this may work
well in theory, actually shifting from fossil fuels is not the same as shifting from one brand of
shampoo to another.
This is entirely due to the fact that humans rely so much on the infrastructure they have
developed, which is entirely dependent upon this resource, accounting for 85% of the United
States’ energy use. If the world were entirely dependent upon solar energy, that would be fine
because sunlight is a continuing resource. However, at the current state of things, humans are in a
dangerous position owing to its complete dependence upon one single limited input.
Fossil fuels are also responsible for a significant amount of land, water, and air pollution
beyond their carbon dioxide production. For example, coal mining brings solid wastes to the
surface that would normally remain underground and the areas around a mine can remain barren
for generations due to the lack of proper topsoil. The burning of coal for energy also produces
many different types of particulate matter that pollutes the air. Compared with fossil fuels,
renewable energy is far more environmentally friendly.
There exists an argument that renewable energy options are not as efficient as fossil fuels
because the deployment of renewable energy equipment like the wind turbine costs a lot of money.
However, when factors such as pollution and climate change are considered, renewable energy is
actually far more efficient than fossil fuels. And fossil fuels will be surely replaced by renewable
energy whether it is your generation or your grandchildren’s.
8. According to paragraph 1, we know fossil fuels ____________.
A. are a symbol of civilized society B. are heavily depended on by humans
C. are becoming more and more expensive D. can be replaced by other resources soon
4
9. What does “This” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. That it is hard to stop using fossil fuels.
B. That it is necessary to use solar energy.
C. That people have overconsumed fossil fuels.
D. That people have developed so many infrastructures.
10. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To show the relationship between greenhouse gases and fossil fuels.
B. To introduce how carbon dioxide affects the environment.
C. To present negative consequences brought by fossil fuels.
D. To explain why fossil fuels should be used.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Renewable energy equipment is economically-beneficial.
B. It is an unstoppable trend to use renewable energy.
C. It is very urgent for people to shift to renewable energy.
D. Renewable energy produces less energy than fossil fuels.
D
Media multitasking, such as scrolling through social media while watching a movie, may be
linked to more brief failures in attention and difficulty remembering things.
“Our data support the idea that we should be aware of how we engage with media,” says
Kevin Paul Madore at Stanford University in California. He and his team compared people’s
self-reported levels of media multitasking with their performances in a memory task, as part of a
study including 80 participants aged 18 to 26.
The researchers specifically tested episodic memory (情景记忆), which helps us recall events,
by presenting the participants with images of objects on a computer and then later asking them to
recall whether they had seen the objects earlier or not. At the same time, the team used EEG (脑电
图) and eye tracking to monitor people’s attentiveness.
Madore and his colleagues also asked participants to complete a questionnaire to determine
how often they engage in various forms of media multitasking, such as texting while watching TV
or reading while listening to music. They found that people who reported more frequent media
multitasking had more brief failures in attention during the memory task, which was associated
with increased difficulties with remembering.
“I think conscious awareness of attentiveness and limiting potential distractions can go a long
way in memory preparedness and reducing mind wandering or mind blanking,” says Madore.
“Resisting media multitasking during school lectures or work zones, or limiting media
multitasking to set times, could be valuable.”
“Media multitasking is becoming more prominent. We don’t actually know anything about
the effects yet,” says Amy Orben at the University of Cambridge. It will be important to
investigate whether media multitasking causes brief attentional failure and memory failure or
whether there is another factor, such as how generally distractible a person is, that could explain
the association. This could be investigated through studies that monitor people over time and this
is a really interesting area that we should explore, she says.
5
12. What were the research subjects asked to do?
A. Monitor their attentiveness.
B. Recall the content of the images.
C. Describe their frequency of media multitasking.
D. Answer some questions on potential distractions.
13. According to Madore, what can benefit people’s memory?
A. Avoiding mind wandering. B. Restricting media multitasking.
C. Engaging less with social media. D. Being aware of potential distractions.
14. What will the future study most probably focus on?
A. How generally distractible a person is.
B. How to monitor people in the long run.
C. What should be factored in attentional failures.
D. Whether media multitasking gives rise to inattention.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. More Media Multitasking, Worse Memory
B. More Media Multitasking, Less Efficiency
C. Media Multitasking — a Barrier to Success
B. Media Multitasking — a Distraction from Work

How to Understand the Mind of an Interviewer
Getting inside an interviewer’s head can be tricky, as their perspective will change according
to personality type, professional role, and personal experience. 16
Research the company to determine what the interviewer is looking for. Company culture
(work-life balance, atmosphere, etc.) is a great indicator of what your interviewer will want to see
in candidates. 17 You can look for company mission statements for a better
understanding of company culture, or quotes from top-level executives, like CEOs, which often
set the tone for company culture.
Look up the interviewer when possible. 18 This is the perfect chance to look up
background information on the interviewer on the company’s website. Professional and social
media platforms can also help you better know what to expect from an interviewer.
19 Many interviewers determine the truthfulness of your resume this way. If you
respond with answers that are inconsistent with what you wrote in your resume, many
interviewers will interpret it as a red flag. Thus, remember to review the start and end dates of
positions listed on your resume and try not to take offense to this kind of fact checking.
Identify how the interviewer’s position will influence expectations. The role of your
interviewer usually has an impact on what that person expects from a candidate. An HR
representative, for example, will want to know you’re a good fit with the company culture and
values. A direct manager, however, would be most interested in your practical ability to do the job.
6
Regardless of their roles, most interviewers will want to know you’ll make their lives easier.
20
A. Be consistent with what you wrote in your resume.
B. Expect the interviewer to quiz you on your resume.
C. Therefore, it’s not an easy job to understand their mind.
D. So try to make a point of addressing this during the interview.
E. Usually, you’ll be informed of your interviewer’s name before you meet them.
F. However, you can research on the interviewer and tailor your answers to stand out.
G. In most situations, interviewers will expect you to share similar values with the company.

On a steamy morning in July, Clay and Acaimie Chastain arrived at the base of Mount
Liamuiga on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, ready to spend a day of their honeymoon climbing
Mount Liamuiga. The highest point on St. Kitts, Liamuiga is also a dormant (休眠的) volcano that
starts in the clouds and plunges down to meet the sea.
They couldn’t find a visitor center or hire a guide, so they set off on their own. They reached
the peak around noon and ate their sandwiches looking out over the ocean and surrounding
islands.
That’s when Clay saw it: a small trail that led into the volcano’s crater (坑), a bowl of green
with cloud forest giving way to green grass. A series of screw eyes (螺丝孔) had been drilled into
the rocks, with ropes that led down. Clay wanted to go down and take some pictures. Acaimie
followed him a little way, but she was very cautious and quite scared of heights; so Clay went on
alone.
A few minutes later, she heard a crash — a noise that sounded like a large branch snapping,
followed by the sound of something big rolling downhill. “Clay?” she called. Silence.
Uneasy, she waited a minute and shouted again — still nothing. And then, from somewhere
much further down, she heard a weak cry for help. This time she was certain: It was Clay calling
for help from deep within the crater.
As she looked over the lip of the volcano, she tried to stop some of her worst worries. Her
phone wasn’t getting a signal, and her cries for help were met with only silence. “Clay!” she
shouted as loud as she could. “Clay, are you OK?”
Acaimie grasped the rope and began climbing down the trail. When the path became too steep,
she slid on her butt, her legs and arms getting bruised and scraped in the process. Then, just off the
trail, she saw a flash of red. It was Clay’s scarf. And next to it was his cell phone.
She grabbed both and continued down, screaming for Clay all the way.
“Help,” he said in that strange voice.
“I’m coming! Stay where you are.” she said.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally, she spotted Clay.
Acaimie had to push those thoughts away and focus on what could be done.

Recently, there has been an increasing concern about the phenomenon that high school
students don’t have enough sleep. Many students stay up late for various reasons, ranging from
heavy homework to being addicted to digital devices.
The importance of a good sleep can never be emphasized too much. It can help us stay focused
in class and, furthermore, serves as a basic foundation for good health. On the contrary, the
long-term shortage of sleep not only robs us of energy needed for study in the daytime, but also
gives rise to many potential physical and mental diseases as well.
Therefore, it is suggested that we should work out an efficient plan for our school life, striking
a balance between work and study. Only by keeping a healthy life-style can we have a strong body
to deal with future challenges. (139)

Finally, she spotted Clay. There he squatted, moaning bitterly, his face twisted in extreme
agony. The trousers were ripped and splashed with blood, which immediately brought tears to
Acaimie. She dashed forward and threw her arms around Clay when he yelled out, “ouch!” It was
at this moment that Acaimie realized she needed to dress his wound first. With her scarf torn into
pieces, she quickly located the injury and bandaged the wound. No sooner had everything been
finished than some fearsome thoughts flashed across her mind. “What if others couldn’t find them?
What if they failed to return to the base?” Her worries were greeted with Clay’s firmness in the
eye, “There must be a way out.” 113
Acaimie had to push those thoughts away and focus on what could be done. With anxiety
written across her face, Acaimie looked around aimlessly, expecting any straws to grab at.
Fortunately, she caught sight of something glimmering in the deepest forest. Approaching it in
curiosity and fear, Acaimie was overjoyed to find a big tunnel to the outside! Immediately dashing
back and holding Clay by his arm, Acaimie led him to limp slowly to the entrance, edging their
way through the tunnel. After what seemed a century, they eventually finished the long journey
and reached their base. What met them was the last sunshine, in which they hugged tightly in tears.
It must be love that got them through the darkest time. 108
