In a city where tall buildings can make one feel closed in, Bryant Park offers open space for citizens and tourists to relax. In a tiny section of the park, a close community comes together at The Tables. These free outdoor ping pong tables attract individuals (个体) who share a love of the sport. People of various ages，backgrounds and skill levels became friends first, then the family.

The Tables are available to the public beginning at 11 a. m. with paddles and balls provided by the park. Regulars start to show up around 4 p. m. with their own paddles in hand, ready to dominate (主导). Matches become more competitive- -doubles on one table and singles on the other- -and winners are able to stay on a table until they are defeated. Those waiting their turn can be seen practicing on the sidelines，eagerly watching the game or joyfully greeting returning friends.

Deeper than the healthy competition and love for the sport is a sense of belonging and inter-generational friendship and trust among the regular players. They come to have fun, connect, relieve stress and “feel alive”. What began as a marketing tool for a local ping pong center unexpectedly grew into the community it is today.

Inspired by the diversity of players and the community they developed, Jon Bunning made a documentary called The Tables to share their story. “I just found it really fascinating that a homeless person could play as equals with a successful Wall Street banker," says Bunning.“ That's one thing I think all, humans share. We all want to belong to something, or have a place to feel like you fit in and belong there.

24. What attracts people to come together at The Tables?

A. The desire of finding families.             B. The same affection for ping pong.

C. The ambition of winning the championship.  D. The willingness to sell copies of The Tables.

25. What's paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. The punishments for losing the game.      B. The qualifications for the competitions.

C. The management and operation of the park: D. The routine of playing ping pong at The Tables.

26. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A. The homeless differ little from Wall Street hankers.

B. The Tables developed the economy of the community.

C. A sense of belonging. proves more attractive to regular players.

D. A local ping, pong center purposely turned the players into a community.

27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Sports Without Borders              B. Love for Sports Matters Most

C. Communities' Free Sports Service     D. Sports Promote Healthy Competition

C

What does an outdoor cat do all day? A study of more than 900 house. cats shows when they kill small birds and mammals, their influence is concentrated in a small area, having a bigger effect than wild predators ( 食肉动物) do.

Roland Kays, a scientist at North Carolina State University and his colleagues collected GPS data from cats in six countries. “These cats are moving around their own backyard and a couple of their neighbors' backyards , but most of them are not ranging very much further ,”Kays said.“So initially I thought,' Oh, this is good news. They're not going out into the nature preserves. ’”

Then Kays took how much cats kill m that small area into consideration. Some cats in the study were bringing home up to 11 dead birds a month, which doesn't include what they ate or didn't bring home.

“It actually ends up being" a really high rate of predation," Kays said. He calculates that cats can have 4-to-10 times the influence of a wild predator. Native predators, like jungle cats, also kill a lot of small animals, but their influence is spread out over a larger area. One study indicates that house cats kill billions of birds every year.

“The simplest thing to do is to keep your cat indoors, ”Kays said.

For those who refuse to keep their cats inside, there are potential options. St. Lawrence University associate professor Susan Willson went looking for one. She found a special brightly colored collar online.“The whole idea is that the bird will be able to visually see the cat creeping (爬) up on it before the cat attacks it,” she said. Willson tested the collar on both her cat and dozens of others. It greatly reduced the number of birds the cats brought home.

“I'm not saying these collars can make a significant difference in the massive bird death that we're seeing，”she said.“But each individual bird that somebody in their backyard is not finding dead, I think matters.

28. Why does Kays say “this is good news" ?

A. House cats can be tracked by GPS.     

B. House cats won't kill birds in large numbers.

C. House cats are protected from wild predators,

D. House cats feel comfortable in their own backyard.

29. How do wild predators differ from house cats in terms of killing animals?

A. They prefer to attack larger animals.        

B. They kill 4-10 times the number of house cats.

C. Their victims are distributed in a bigger range.

D. They kill less than house cats on a monthly basis.

30. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Birds can't sense the danger when cats attack them.

B. Willson considers keeping her cat inside a good idea.

C. The only way to protect birds is to keep them indoors.

D. The colored collar can be a sign of potential danger to birds.

31. Which word can best describe Willson's attitude to using collars to save birds?

A. Concerned.            B. Positive.           C. Doubtful.     D. Cautious.

D

We know that China is the largest and fastest-growing consumer market in the world. What is less well understood are the forces that shape consumerism in the worlds most populous country. In my view, there are some social and cultural aspects at play that drive consumer spending.

Consumerism is related to freedom. To have. a choice means to have consumer choice. You are what you consume. Consumption is an expression of sel. It allows you to explore the world through its products， to experiment with lifestyle choices，and to do so safely and anonymously (匿名地). You might never get to France， but you can try French wine. California might be faraway， but you can go to Shanghai Disneyland. Indeed，the enthusiasm for choice is reflected in the enthusiasm Chinese consumers have f01 online shopping.

Consumerism is a statement of success. American economist Thorstein Veblen popularized the concept of“ conspicuous consumption" . When consumption is no longer driven only by need, it becomes a way of making a statement that you have disposable (可支配的) income and you can-al least in certain respects- enjoy life on your terms. Simple pleasures--a pair of Nikes，a smartphone，designer clothing become statements of personal identity,

Collective experience is focused. We like participating in group events. FOMO, the Fear of Missing Out, goes beyond cultures. But [ suspect this trend is stronger in China than in the West because Confucian culture does not celebrate outliers as the West does. Social media reinforces ( 强化) this collective pattern so that shopping and dining are shared experiences. Opinions are crowd-sourced. And the merchants reinforce this pattern by supporting holiday sales ，group buying, and other promotions.

Successful brands in China are able to handle most or all o{ the above considerations. The consumer must not only be delighted with your product, The journey of the consumer must also respect these socio-cultural aspects.

32. What's mainly talked about in the passage?

A. China's population growing wealthier.

B. China's fast-growing market economy.

C. Chinese socio-cultural influences on consumerism.

D. Chinese consumers' preference of quality to quantity.

33. What does paragraph 2 focus on?

A. Shopping online is a new experience.     

B. Consumption can be a reflection of freedom.

C. Foreign products can be purchased in China.

D. Shopping around the world is a favorable choice.

34. What does the underlined words “conspicuous consumption” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. The ability to cover one's real needs in daily life.

B. Spending money in order to keep up with others.

C. The purchase of expensive items to display status.

D. Buying abundant goods to acquire personal identity.

35. Why does the author think FOMO is stronger in China?

A. Social media play a bigger role in their lives.

B. Following the trend is what people like better.

C. Chinese people have less contact with the strangers,

D. Confucian culture is less likely to appreciate outsiders.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It seems that society has placed so much value on the word“humility(谦逊)”, sometimes we're told to lower ourselves in order to be recognized as a more modest student or employee.

36   , rather. than how society looks at you, according to a US-based business magazine. Here are three ways to start developing a more modest personality.

1. Stop questioning your worth

Being mild-mannered does not contradict recognizing your worth , because you'll become at peace with your inner self when you accept your own strengths. Humility will then come as a natural consequence.  37  . Worth shouldn't be measured by what you compete on in society. Rather, it's your gifts, talents and hard work that prove who you are.

2.  38  

Be willing to get coffee for a colleague , sweep the floors of your dormitory , or move to a smaller office at work.  39  . In addition, it may potentially inspire ideas for growth beyond your original vision. Accepting more flexibility in your everyday life will also help you move back and forth in the path , without having to worry about “losing yourself” in any difficulty you may come across. You'll gradually realize that either a step forward. or backward won't affect your value.

3. Accept uncertainty

40   . Try to appreciate the unknown and regard it as a fresh learning opportunity rather than a nightmare. Just as band Maroon 5 says, “Life isn't always rainbows and butterflies. It's compromise that moves us along.”This may never be easy. But you can meet uncertainty with a sense of curiosity to learn what can be created from it. Furthermore，appreciating the unknown instead of fearing it is also a way to reduce stress.

A, Be eager and flexible

B. Be determined and hard-working

C. Develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty

D. Uncertainty is a double -edged sword in many cases

E. Remember that you are valuable regardless of outside variables

F. This can allow you to interact with the people around you in new ways

G. The true humility，however, is more about the way you relate to yourself and your surroundings

You'd better have a open discussion about how all of you feel. You should calmly tell her that you expect to have a certain amount privacy. If she feels the best of all way to know about you is to read your journal, and it means there is a lack of communication.

In response to the national call against food waste, our school launched the Clean Plate Campaign last week.

Food loss and waste exist and millions of people are still hungry. The food wasted globally every year could feed these hungry people. Various school activities were carried out for this reason. Young volunteers put up posters and signs promoting food saving on campus to increase awareness of respecting food labor and valuing food among students. Also, class meetings were held to make a change in the students’ attitude and encourage them to become eco-pioneers.

Through the campaign, we have become more aware that there is no excuse for wasting food. To save food is a traditional virtue in China, which we should never forget.

W: My sink is leaking and has poor water pressure. Could you send someone to fix it?

M: OK. They will be there by the end of the day.

W: I am going to be at work until 6:00 p.m., so I won’t be able to let them inside.

M: Don’t worry. They have a master key that will let them in.

W: Couldn’t they just come tomorrow? I don’t like anyone being in my apartment when I’m not there.

M: I’m sorry, but they don’t work on Saturdays.

W: OK, how about Monday then? I don’t work on Mondays.

M: Sure, they should be there by 10:00 a.m. on Monday.

W: I guess I’ll just have to put a basin under the sink for now.

W: What do you feel like doing this weekend? Want to go to the movies?

M: Not really. I went to the movies last weekend.

W: Well, want to go ice-skating? All the lakes are frozen.

M: I’m so bad at ice-skating. Every time I go, I lose balance and fall.

W: Yeah, I’m not very good either, but it’s fun. Want to go to watch my brother’s hockey game?

M: Sure! I love hockey. I want to learn how to play hockey better so I can play someday.

W: My brother is really good. My dad was a professional hockey player. He is retired now.

M: Really? That’s so cool!

W: Thanks! My brother is playing hockey for a college team and he hopes he’ll be able to go professional.

M: I hope so, too. Then I can say I learned hockey from a professional!

W: Well, you’re going to need to learn how to ice-skate first!

W: I have some good news for you. We’ve decided we’d like to send you to Shanghai on a business trip this weekend.

M: Oh?

W: I thought you’d be a bit more excited about it. Everything will be paid for, and I’ll send my assistant with you to take care of everything for you. All you have to do is get on the train tonight at 7:00 p.m.

M: The train? Will I be flying back?

W: Oh, no. We’ve bought your return ticket for you. I think you’ll find it quite comfortable.

M: Will the train be very crowded?

W: Oh, no. The train hasn’t been crowded at all recently. Besides, you’re in first class, so you’ll be fine.

M: When is the first meeting then?

W: They’ve scheduled the meeting for 9:00 tomorrow morning.

M: Where will I be staying?

W: We’ve booked you a room in the same hotel as your meetings, so you won’t need to deal much with public transportation.

M: That’s smart. Would it be all right if I left early today to prepare for the trip?

W: No problem. Get some rest if you can. You don’t know how tight the schedule is for this business trip.
