5.Why does gratitude matter?Gratitude doesn't just feel good.(36)DLike other positive emotions,feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a big effect on our lives.Brain Research shows that positive emotions are good for ourbodies,minds,and brains.
Positive emotions help us see more possibilities and take in more information.They increase ourability to develop skills.(37)EPositive emotions balance negative emotions out.People who often feel grateful and appreciative are happier,less stressed,and less depressed.Gratitude is like a U-turn on complaining or thinking about what we don't have.
(38)BWhen we feel grateful,we might also feel happy,calm,joyful,or glad.
Gratitude can lead to positive actions.When we feel grateful for someone's kindness towards us,we may be more likely to do a kindness in return.(39)GThanking people can make it more likely that they'll do a kindness again.
(40)CWhen we feel and express heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to people in our lives,it creates loving bonds,builds trust,and helps you feel closer.
When we make it a habit to feel grateful and appreciative,it increases our awareness of good things as they happen.That set of attitude of gratitude has positive effects on our mood.

A.It might make you suffer a lot.
B.One positive emotion often leads to another.
C.Gratitude helps us build better relationships.
D.Making a habit of gratitude can also be good for us.
E.In addition,they help us to learn and make good decisions.
F.Find out who you appreciate and what the reasons might be.
G.Your gratitude also can have a positive effect on someone else's actions.

38.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文When we feel grateful,we might also feel happy,calm,joyful,or glad可知一種積極的情緒往往導(dǎo)致另一種情緒;故選B.
39.G.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后文Thanking people can make it more likely that they'll do a kindness again可知你的感激也能對(duì)別人的行為產(chǎn)生積極的影響;故選G.

15.Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.Every waking moment,the eyes are working to see the world around us.Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight,but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes.Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:
•Schedule yearly exams.(36)BExperts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a careful check.The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment,including eyeglasses.
•Protect against UV rays (紫外線).Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes.No matter what the season is,it's extremely important to wear sunglasses.(37)C
•Give your eyes a break.Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products.(38)GExperts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule:every 20 minutes,take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
•(39)AAs part of a healthy diet,eat more fruits and vegetables each day.Vitamins(維生素) C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.
•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隱形眼鏡).Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight.While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses,many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk.(40)FOtherwise,you may have problems such as red eyes,pain in the eyes,or a more serious condition.

A.Eat your greens.
B.Eye care should begin early in life.
C.They can properly protect your eyes.
D.Stay in good shape by taking more Vitamins.
E.Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight.
F.Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear.
G.This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness.

16.I'm part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr.Jane Goodall.The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world.As Dr.Goodall says,"What you do makes a difference,and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
In Bulgaria,where I live,homeless dogs are everywhere.Many people here turn a blind eye to them.But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street,looking for something to eat.That's why I'm no longer a food waster.When I see wasted food,I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins,searching for food that people have thrown there.When eating in a restaurant,I'm not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs.
A week ago,I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins.Immediately I knelt down,spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her.I could see that she had had puppies.I couldn't imagine how she could have been able to care for them.Hours earlier,I'd bagged up a plate of leftover fish.As I unwrapped it,she wagged her tail and sniffed at it.She ate all the fish in no time.
It's sad,isn't it?I can't understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it.These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious.Even when I don't have leftovers with me,I'll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them.
I know my power is small,so I hope that next time you see wasted food,do turn it into worthy food.You have the power to save a life!

21.The author uses what Dr.Goodall says to showD.
A.how we can develop our business
B.why it is important to be great
C.why the program is popular globally
D.how we can change the world positively
22.What can be concluded from the text?C
A.There are few homeless dogs where the author lives
B.The author takes homeless dogs home and raises them
C.Seeing homeless dogs makes the author never waste food
D.People throw food into garbage bins to feed homeless dogs
23.The author took the leftover fish with him toB.
A.eat it when he was hungry
B.feed a homeless dog he met
C.look for more homeless animals
D.set an example to those who throw away food

20.Bicycle Sharing
Foryears,bike-sharing plans have been common in big cities around the world,including in China.Examples include Paris's Vélib and London's Santander Cycles ("Boris bikes").But these require customers to return the bicycles to docking stations (泊車位).In China,a more user-friendly approach is spreading rapidly.It involves bikes that can be paid for using a smartphone and left anywhere.GPS tracking enables them to be located with a mobile app.A ride typically costs only one yuan(﹩0.15)on a bike in an eye-catching colour.
The first such service was launched in June 2015 by a startup called Ofo.The company now has around 2.5m yellow-framed bikes in more than 50 cities in China.Its main rival,Mobike,which started up only a year ago,says it has"several million"of its orange-wheeled bikes spread across a similar area.Bluegogo has half a million bikes in six Chinese cities.It plans to add a new city every two weeks.
However,the dockless system is easy to abuse.Some riders hide the bikes in or near their homes to prevent others from using them.Another trick involves scratching off a bike's QR code to stop others from scanning it.A bigger problem for the new firms is persuading people to use bikes instead of cars.Thirty years ago,63% of Beijingers cycled to work.Now,only 12% do.Many people think that cycling is only for the poor.A dating-show contestant famously said in 2010 that she would"rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bike."Cycling is also dangerous.About 40% of road accidents involve bicycles,according to a report in 2013.Some city authorities accuse the bike-sharing firms of causing congestion.This month,the southern city of Shenzhen ordered limits on the number of shared bikes.Other cities,including Shanghai and Beijing,are considering similar measures.
Despite some disadvantages,such user-friendly services represent the kind of green innovation that China wants and may even bring"a revolution".

10.請(qǐng)閱讀下面短文,并按要求以O(shè)ur Life Rests on Our Choice為題,用英語(yǔ)寫一篇150詞左右的文章.
Life is a matter of choice.Seemingly,it means a choice of concrete (具體的)things.But in fact,it means choosing a way of life.Life is to be lived and enjoyed,not to be wasted or complained about.
Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease---SARS.Yet,even during those dreadful times,some suffering people remained optimistic.Instead of wearing white masks,some people turned to colorful ones,and thus displayed a happy mood.And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean"SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING."People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships.
Although we cannot choose our appearance,inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境),we do have the right to choose to live optimistically,to love our lives,to have dreams,and to cherish hopes.
Every morning when we get up,we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.

(3)簡(jiǎn)要敘述你這樣選擇的理由.(至少2點(diǎn))
【寫作要求】
1.闡述觀點(diǎn)或提供論據(jù)時(shí),不能直接飲用原文語(yǔ)句;

Our Life Rests on Our Choice
Faced with disasters and adversities,some people choose to stay optimistic and determine to carry on regardless of the hardships.Life,to some extent,rests on our choice.
Life is full of ups and downs.When the time comes for us to make choices,we should be aware of the importance of a positive attitude.A positive attitude somehow resembles the sail of a ship,which offers us the right direction(高分句型一).
As a teenager,it is of great significance to take a positive attitude towards life.To stay energetic,I will stick to an exercise schedule.I will also keep myself informed of the current events and communicate more with others,becoming socially connected.
All these mentioned above will be beneficial for me to grow into an optimistic and confident young man.Only by doing so can I adjust myself to society more easily and stay motivated towards a better life(高分句型二).(150 words).

14.Every generation of teenagers is expert at finding new ways of driving their parents mad.When I was young it was a simple matter of under-age drinking,unsuitable boyfriends or long conversations on the telephone,which could be easily seen by the entire family.
These days the technology of parent-crazing is absolutely more complicated.Today's teenagers conduct their rebellions(叛逆)online,watching YouTube clips,posting private images on their Facebook pages and seeking friends with strange hobbies,which are enough to freeze their parents'blood.
Danah Boyd,a Harvard academic,spent seven years being absorbed in teenage culture,attempting to explain young people to the adults who worry about them.Boyd interviewed 166adolescents about their online lives,hung out with teens in public places and spent countless hours observing teens.From these interviews,she intended to explain the aspects of teenaged online behavior that adults find most unacceptable.
Teenagers are normally considered by the society as"public threats or targets easily harmed".However,the youths interviewed by Boyd argued that they would prefer to interact directly,but that their parents'concern for their safety and the loss of public spaces limited them to the home.The Internet has become their alternative meeting place.
Many writers couldn't resist reading Boyd's findings.Boyd's analysis of teenage life is realistic and profound.After reading much of what she discovers,most parents can give a sigh of relief.The kids are all right,but they want to be understood.They are not so different from their parents after all.

28.Why does the author write the first two paragraphs?D
A.To express the public's concern about the Internet.
B.To explain how complicated the society has become.
C.To warn us of the danger the Internet brings to people.
D.To show today's teenage rebellions are different from the past.
29.What's the author's attitude to Boyd's research?A
A.Favorable.
B.Doubtful.
C.Indifferent.
D.Critical.
30.What can we learn according to Danah Boyd?B
A.young people have lost interest in public spaces.
B.parents are partly responsible for teenaged online behavior.
C.surfing the Internet at home should be limited most of the time.
D.a(chǎn)ll the children are actually free from the bad effect of the Internet.
31.What's the purpose of the author's writing the passage?B
A.To discuss how modern technology influences teenagers.
B.To introduce Danah Boyd's research on networked teenagers.
C.To analyze the reasons why teens are lost in the Internet.
D.To criticize those parents who misunderstand their children.
