For example, they look at a plant and think, “How much better this plant would be if only its flowers were more beautiful!” Or they see a summer rain and think, “If I had 1 the world I would have made it never rain when people are on holiday.”Such a 2 happened long ago when a traveller was resting under an apple tree. As he looked around, he saw a big pumpkin in a nearby garden. He noticed that the vine (藤) on which the big pumpkin grew was quite weak. 3 him, he saw small round apples hanging on strong limbs (树枝). “How stupid nature is!” the man thought to himself. “If nature had half a brain, it would have made these big pumpkins grow on this strong tree 4 on the weak vine.”The traveller was proud that he was smarter than the creator of all things in the natural world. Just then, a small apple fell from the tree, hitting him on the head. He quickly saw the defect (不足之处) in his thinking. He learned how things might have been different if it had been the huge pumpkin that had hit him on the head. “I clearly would have 5 my life in such an accident,” he said.As he went on his way, he had new admiration (钦佩) for nature.1．A．explored B．created C．discovered D．expected2．A．dream B．brain C．case D．trouble3．A．Above B．Beside C．Against D．Before4．A．because of B．out of C．full of D．instead of5．A．enjoyed B．rescued C．lost D．begunⅢ. 语法填空12、There is a special kind of hotel in Quebec, Canada.

With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to get a quick fix and present the “best” pictures of ourselves to the world.However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves. (1)Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies-Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. (2) The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell the lines between reality a nd fantasy. “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. (3) In the past, people may have compared their looks to those of celebrities who were famous that time. But for t oday’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age o f social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho told The Independent. “N ow you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website.Engeln further pointed out that when people spend too much time making such comp arisons, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam?” Instead, we should think, “I feel good, I have my health.”1．What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media?A．Smoothing their skin in the morning. B．Using apps to edit photos.C．Wearing false eyelashes. D．Redding their lips before going out.2．Where should we pu t the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearanceworries when it comes to how they really look.”?A．(4) B．(3) C．(2) D．(1)3．The fifth paragraph implies (暗示) that ___________ .A．people today focus (关注) more on how good they look than in the pastB．in the past, people thought highly of those who are good at celebratingC．social platforms help people learn about self-worthD．self-worth is related purely on followers people have4．What did the writer write this passage for?A．To call on people to care more about appearanceB．To call on people not to use apps on mobile phoneC．To call on people to learn something more important than appearanceD．To call on people not to spend too much time on comparison with othersB14、Once, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to climb to the tree top, ate the apples and played around it. With time on, the little boy grew up. He no longer played around it every day. One day, the boy came back, sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I am no longer a kid.” The boy replied, “ I need money to buy toys.” “I don’t have money..., but you can pick all my apples and sell them.” The boy was so excited. He picked all apples and left happily. The boy never came back after that. One day, the boy return ed. “Come and play with me,” the tree said happily. “I have no time to play. We need a house for my family.” “You can cut off my branches.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. But he never came back since then.Again, the boy ret urned and said. “ I want to make a navigationacross the sea. Can you give me a b oat?” “Use my trunk(主干)to build your boat.” So the boy cut the trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. Finally, t he boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. the only thing left is my dying roots.” the tree said with tears.“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to rest. Come and rest with me.” The boy sat down a nd the tree was glad and smiled with tears.You may think that the boy is cold to the tree but that’s how we are treating our parents. The tree is our parents. When we w ere young, we loved to play with them. When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. Whatever we ask for, parents will give everything they have and always be there waiting for us home. 1．The apple tree in the passage is just like__________ in the life.A．our kid B．our parentC．our friend D．our sister or brother2．The boy made his house for his family by __________.A．picking the applesB．cutting off all the branches of the tree.C．cutting the trunk of the tree.D．digging the dying roots of the tree3．The underlined wordnavigationmeans__________.A．飞翔B．航行C．赛车D．徒步4．The passage mainly tells us__________.A．parents hardly give help when children are in troubleB．whatever we ask for, parents try to meet our needs in their whole lifeC．children always do something to thank th eir parents’ great effort and help in returnD．children always care about parents’ feeling as they grow upC15、Olivia was riding an elevator(电梯). She was going to the top of the Empire State Building（帝国大厦）in New York City, or almost to the top. She wanted to go to the 102nd floor, but she couldn’t afford the price. It wasn’t free to ride the elevator. She also had to go through security(安全) checks, and her bag had to get checked.Olivia rode an elevator to the 80th floor. That was very high. Then she rode a second elevator to the 86th floor. When she got out finally, she saw windows. She could see the sky outside.____looked the same as on the ground. She went out of the door to where all the people were standing. Wow! It was so high. Olivia looked in every direction at the buildings below. Most of them were much shorter and smaller than the one she was in. It was so different being up so high.Olivia smiled at a bird that sat on the edge(边缘) of the building. How could it not be scared? It was so far from the ground, and the cars on the streets looked like tiny toys! There was a man dressed up as King Kong! He looked really funny. Olivia got her picture taken with him.For Olivia, it was really a great way to see the city.

When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, then internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are persons who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same problems, yet their experience of life is different worlds. Victims are easy to be in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others--and even themselves--to feel like victims, too. Creators choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire（鼓舞）not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to decide the direction of their lives.In fact, all of us play the victim or the creator at different points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and go into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the sadness, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative strength in his life.In every moment and every situation, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear goal to change the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.1．What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A．People and things around you. B．Chances and problems.C．Creators and their choices. D．Victims and their sufferings.2．What can we learn from the passage?A．Creators have the ability to predict future life.B．Creators deal with ups and downs of life wisely.C．Victims can influence more people than creators.D．Victims and creators face quite different things in life.3．The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that ________.A．strong feelings of sufferings in life pull people into victims.B．people need family support to deal with sufferings in life.C．it takes creators quite a long time to clear out their pains.D．one’s experiences decide his attitude toward his life.4．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To describe victims and creators.B．To compare victims with creators.C．To suggest changing from victims to creators.D．To explain the relation between victims and creators.E17、iPhone users now can control the time they spend on their iPhones. The tool is an app called Screen Time.Screen Time tells users clear information on how much time they're spending on their iPhones, where they're spending it and even how their use breaks down during the day. Parents will be able to control the time their children spend on apps such as Instagram. Apple's chief of software development Craig Federighi says the "Do Not Disturb（勿扰）" feature will let iPhone users disconnect from the Internet.The company may have realized some pressure that iPhone users can get addicted to（对…..上瘾）their smartphones and their mobile technology. So Apple came up with the idea of inventing the app.But Apple still wants to keep iPhone users happy.
