I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didnt like attention drawn to myself. And? ?16? ? otherwise assigned （指定） a seat by the teacher， I always? ?17? ?to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this? ?18? ?after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team.

三、閱讀理解? ?（共15小題，每題2分，滿分30分）

A

Travelling with skiing or snowboarding equipment can be a bit of an effort， particularly if youre swapping between buses， trains and planes. Take a simpler， more direct route to the four Alpine options on the Eurostar at London St. Pancras International or Ashford.

La Rosière

Great ski conditions arent a oneoff here， thanks to the resorts high altitude and its mostly southfacing and therefore sunnyslopes. Its a family friendly resort and kids will enjoy skiing through the trees and tunnels on adventure trail.

Sainte Foy

The slopes are quiet， the lift queues nonexistent， and snowy forests and breathtaking mountain views dominate （控制） your eyeline. This resort is not a place to come if you like to party， but its a great choice for those who want to progress on wide， empty pistes.

Motiers

It is a good resort for firsttime skiers. Those new

to the sport can book a holiday safe in the

knowledge that theyre not stuck up a snowy

mountain if the sport isnt for them. The town itself

has a Museum of Popular Traditions.

Tignes

It may not be the prettiest resort in the French Alps，

but what it lacks in cuteness， it more than makes up

for in convenience， taking the concept of skiin ski

out to a whole new level. Its highquality snow

conditions are all but guaranteed.

Need to know

You can take one pair of skis or one snowboard on board with you in addition to your standard adult

luggage allowance. For safety reasons， skis and snowboards have to be kept in a protective case that

covers the whole item.

Theres a travel class to suit every budget and style. Though the seats are roomy and comfortable， its

worth nothing there are no sleeper bunk beds. With free WiFi for all， you can stay connected all the way.

Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its muchanticipated inhouse operating system Harmony OS on Friday， marking what some call the Chinese tech giants biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.

The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States governments restrictions on Huawei using Googles Android operating system in smartphones， analysts said.

Yu Chengdong， CEO of Huaweis consumer business group， speaking in Dongguan， Guangdong province， said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an opensource operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware.

“Harmony is a nextgeneration operating system designed to address the challenge，” Yu said， adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations， including smart TVs， automobiles and wearables.

The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.

Yu said the US governments restrictions have accelerated the companys marketing of the system， which now has about 4，000 employees working on it.

The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huaweis preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it.

“But when Android is not available， Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready，” Yu added.

Jia Mo， an analyst at market research company Canalys， said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term， its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.

“Also， more importantly， Huawei chose to build Harmony into an opensource operating system and allow it to be? compatible? with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems，” Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.

38.? What is the significance of the Harmony OS？

A.? It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.

B. It may reduce the? threat from US governments? restrictions.

C. It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.

D. It successfully borrows from Microsofts Windows system.

39.? Which of the following may take the place of the underlined word “compatible” in the last paragraph？

A. Used harmoniously.

B. Operated quickly.

C. Resisted fiercely.

D. Monitored closely.

40.? ?Where may we find this article？

A. Fashion magazines.

B. TV interviews.

C. Historic documents.

D. News websites.

Sweet potato plants dont have spines or poisons to defend themselves. But some have evolved a clever way to let hungry herbivores （食草動物） know they arent an allyoucaneat buffet， a new study finds. When one leaf injured， it produces a chemical that warns the rest of the plant—and its neighbors—to make themselves inedible （不宜食用的） to bugs. Sweet potato breeders could potentially engineer plants to produce the chemical as an allnatural pest defense.

Plant ecologists led by Axel Mithofer of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena， Germany， started to look into sweet potato （Ipomoea batatas） defenses after they noticed something interesting about two varieties of the plant grown in Taiwan： The yellowskinned， yellowfleshed Tainong 57 is generally herbivoreresistant， but its darker orange cousin， Tainong 66， is plagued （造成麻煩） by insect pests.

To find out why， the team offered up Tainong 57 and 66 plants to hungry African cotton leafworm caterpillars （毛蟲）. Both plants released at least 40 airborne compounds as the caterpillars snacked on their leaves. But Tainong 57 produced a lot more of a chemical called DMNT， which has a very distinct smell， the team details this month in Scientific Reports. （“The smell is not nice，” Mithofer says. “You wouldnt want it as a perfume.”）

DMNT isnt a new compound; researchers have isolated （分離出） the smelly chemical from other plants such as com and cabbage， and it is known to induce? defense responses? in some species.

To determine whether this was happening in sweet potatoes， scientists set up two experiments. First， they put two plants next to each other and wounded one so it produced DMNT. Then， they exposed healthy Tainong 57 plants to DMNT they had synthesized （合成）. In both cases， the DMNT caused the exposed plants to produce more of a protein called sporamin in their leaves. （Tainong 66 did not have the same reaction.） When the caterpillars snack on sporamin， “they immediately stop eating because they dont feel well，” Mithofer says.

Sporamin is the main protein insweet potatotubers （塊莖）， and is indigestible raw， which is why sweet potatoes must be cooked for humans to enjoy them. “If the caterpillars could cook it， they could eat it，” Mithofer says. Theoretically， he says， sweet potato breeders could use genetic engineering to make different varieties of sweet potato produce as much DMNT as Tainong 57， and display the same defense responses.

Still， the research isnt ready for prime time， cautions plant ecologist Martin Heil. DMNT might work in the lab， but in the field， airborne chemicals can be “blown away in seconds，” says Heil， who studies plantinsect interactions at the National Polytechnic Institute in Irapuato， Mexico.

Mithofer himself has no plans now to create genetically engineered sweet potato plants， because they would not be a viable （能活下去的） crop in Europe， where genetically modified crops are outlawed. So for now， Tainong 66 will have to put up with being a caterpillar salad bar.

41.? ?What is the purpose of the experiment carried out by Axels team？

A.? To find out why DMNT has a very distinct smell.

B. To determine which sweet potato suits caterpillars better.

C. To find out why Tainong 57 resists bugs while Tainong 66 doesnt.

D. To determine what compounds are released when bugs eat sweet potatoes.

42.? ?Which is an example of the underlined words “defense response” in Paragraph 4？

A.? Researcher isolated the smelly chemical from plants.

B. Com produces a chemical to avoid being eaten by bugs.

C. Two plants are put next to each other for an experiment.

D. Caterpillars have stomach trouble when they snack on sporamin.

43.? The tone of the this passage can be described as__________.

A. humorous? B. serious

C. causal? D. subjective

44.? ?Whats the authors attitude towards GM Tainong 66？

A. Supportive.? B. Objective.

C. Opposed.? D. Skeptical.

An introduction to this book is as? ?superfluous? ?as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight. But a convention of publishing seems to require that the candle should be there， and I am proud to be the one to hold it. About ten years ago I picked up from the pile of new books on my desk a copy of Sons and Lovers by a man of whom I had never heard， and I started to race through it with the immoral speed of the professional reviewer. But after a page or two I found myself reading， really reading. Here was—here is—a masterpiece in which every sentence counts， a book packed with significant thought and beautiful， arresting phrases， the work of a remarkable genius whose gifts are more richly various than those of any other young English novelist.

To appreciate the rich variety of Mr. Lawrence we must read his later novels and his volumes of poetry. But Sons and Lovers reveals the range of his power. Here are combined and blended （混合的） sort of “realism” and almost lyric （抒情的） imagery and rhythm. The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents; they fall in love， marry， work， fail， succeed， and die. But of their deeper emotions and of the relations of these little human beings to the earth and to the stars， Mr. Lawrence makes something near to poetry and prose （散文） without violating its proper “other harmony”.

Take the marvellous paragraph on next to the last page of Sons and Lovers （Mr. Lawrence depends so little on plot in the ordinary sense of the word that it is perfectly fair to read the end of his book first）：

Where was he？ One tiny upright speck of flesh， less than an ear of wheat lost in the field. He could not bear it. On every side the immense dark silence seemed pressing him， so tiny a spark， into extinction， and yet， almost nothing， he could not be extinct. Night， in which everything was lost， went reaching out， beyond stars and sun， stars and sun， a few bright grains， went spinning round for terror， and holding each other in embrace， there in the darkness that outpassed them all， and left them tiny and daunted（氣餒）. So much， and himself， infinitesimal， at the core a nothingness， and yet not nothing.

Such glorious writing lifts the book far above a novel which is merely a story. I beg the reader to attend to every line of it and not to miss a single one of the many sentences that await and surprise you. Some are enthusiastic and impressive， like the paragraph above; others are keen， “realistic” observations of things and people. In one of his books Mr. Lawrence makes a character say， or think， that life is “mixed”. That indicates his philosophy and his method. He blends the accurately literal and trivial （瑣碎的） with the extremely poetic.

To find a similar blending of tiny daily detail and wide imaginative vision， we must go back to two older novelists， Hardy and Meredith. I do not mean that Mr. Lawrence derives （源于） immediately from them or， indeed， that he is clearly the disciple （弟子） of any master. I do feel simply that he is of the elder stature （名望） of Hardy and Meredith， and I know of no other young novelist who is quite worthy of their company. When I first tried to express this comparison， this connection， I was contradicted by a fellowcritic， who pointed out that Meredith and Hardy are entirely unlike each other and that therefore Mr. Lawrence cannot resemble both. To be sure， nothing is more hateful than forced comparisons， nothing more boring than to discover parallels between one work of art and another. An artists mastery consists in his difference from other masters. But to refer a young man of genius to an older one， at the same time pronouncing his independence and originality， is a fair， if not very superior， method of praising him.

45.? The underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__________.

A. meaningful? B. unnecessary

C. fundamental? D. unbelievable

46.? What is typical of Lawrences works？

A. They equally reveal his genius power.

B. They contain lots of great lyric poetry.

C. They present some real living situations.

D. They focus on relations between humans.

47.? What does the author want to illustrate by including one paragraph from Sons and Lovers？

A.? The plot of the novel has little to do with daily life.

B. It is wise to read Lawrences books from the end.

C. Lawrence is capable of telling good stories.

D. The language in Lawrences books is elegant.

48.? Who were Hardy and Meredith？

A.? They taught Lawrence literature when he was young.

B. They were the realistic novelists of Lawrences time.

C. They were novelists who resemble each other in writing.

D. They were novelists combining details with imagination.

49.? According to the author， what does an artists mastery mean？

A. He must have personal diversity.

B. He must have the critical spirits.

C. He must be happy to be compared.

D. He must be a man of genius.

50.? ?What is the authors purpose in writing the passage？

A.? ?To introduce Lawrences novel Sons and Lovers.

B. To show his experiences of reading classics.

C. To analyze Lawrences writing characteristics.

D. To compare the styles of different novelists.

A psychotherapist once taught me a little trick that helped me feel less angry at my partner and less sad about the failings of our relationship.

She said， “Look at him and imagine him as a very little boy; that way， you separate yourself somewhat from the adult， and you are likely to understand and forgive him.”

It actually helped. I couldnt be as mad at or disappointed by a child as I could be with a grown man. So， at least on some occasions， we were both spared the heartache of an uncomfortable silence or a notsosilent argument. And I sometimes still use versions of that trick whenever I feel frustrated or angry in other relationships or personal exchanges.

But what if you could mentally change the form of the emotion itself？ According to scientists at the University of Texas， maybe you can.

Focusing specifically on sadness， the researchers asked two groups of study participants to write about a time in their lives when they felt very sad. They then asked one group to imagine sadness as a person， and write down a description of the person they imagined would be sadness. Not surprisingly， the participants described sadness in such ways as an older person with gray hair and sunken eyes or a young girl holding her head down as she slowly walked along.

The researchers asked the other group of participants to write down a description of sadness with respect to its impact on their moods. When asked to rate their levels of sadness after completing their descriptions， the participants who wrote about the emotion itself and how it affects them reported higher levels of sadness than the group that anthropomorphized （人格化） sadness into a specific type of person with familiar human characteristics. The researchers suggest that by giving life to the emotion， participants can view sadness as something （or someone） separate and somewhat distant from themselves， helping them relieve their negative feelings.

While its okay to feel sad， many people behave in unconscious and sometimes selfdestructive ways to distract or “save” themselves when they are consumed by negative emotions. So in the study authors wanted to know whether or not the group that reported feeling less sad would make smarter shopping decisions.

They tested this by asking participants in both groups to first choose between a salad or a cheesecake dessert to go with the main dish they were having for lunch. The researchers also asked participants to choose between a computer loaded with features for productivity or a computer loaded with features for entertainment. Those study participants who had anthropomorphized their emotions were more likely to choose the salad and the productive computer than those who had simply written about their feelings.

For obvious reasons， then， they say this technique is best for reduce negative emotions.

Editors note： China is the top country of origin for international students in the US， with more than 274，000 Chinese students reportedly accounting for 31 percent of all international students at US universities.Many Chinese parents save up a lot of money for their children to pursue an overseas education. Is it worth spending big to study abroad？ You are welcome to leave your comments.

Arsa （Russia）： I went to study abroad when I was 17. First year was a total waste as I met plenty of Russian students in my college and we spent most of our time shopping and hanging out at cafes. It wasnt until two years later that I realized that my English hadnt improved.I changed my mindset entirely and started studying hard.I ended up staying in UK for 10 years， which opened a lot of doors and introduced me to great people， so Im all for studying abroad.

Truth （US）： There is an assumption that American education is the best in the world， so Chinese parents are pushing their kids to American colleges. And some are even sending their children overseas at junior or high school level. I often feel this is a mistake as the education a Chinese child gets in a foreign country is very different from what they are used to and they often struggle. Some students have trouble understanding their lecturers and their assignments keep coming back with poor scores.

五、 One possible version：

（贊成） More and more Chinese parents prefer to send their children to study abroad， assuming that their children can receive the best education despite heavy financial burdens. Peoples opinions on this vary.

I think it makes good sense to send children to study abroad for the following reasons. First， when studying abroad， children are exposed to a different culture， which will help broaden their horizons and provide them with a chance to improve their foreign language. Second， living apart from their family， children can learn to adapt to the new environment and live on their own. Last but not the least， faced with fierce competition in a job market， a person owning a foreign diploma can have an edge over others.

In summary， it goes without saying that studying abroad is an excellent experience from which children can benefit a lot， so if possible， children should make the most of the great chance.

（反對） More and more Chinese parents prefer to send their children to study abroad， assuming that their children can receive the best education despite heavy financial burdens. Peoples opinions on this vary.

I dont think it is a wise option to send children to foreign countries for education， especially those at junior or senior level. For one thing， we have good universities in China where students can receive an equally good education and therefore owning a foreign diploma doesnt necessarily mean an edge over others in hunting for jobs. For another， so high is the tuition that not every family can afford it. Besides， finding it hard to adapt to the? new environment， some students feel depressed? or even drop out without achieving anything.

Whether to send children to study abroad is a vital decision worthy of careful consideration. It is not where to study but how to study well that really makes a difference.
