A
Venice, Italy
Venice is already known to be sinking, and the masses of tourists that visit the city every year certainly aren’t helping. Locals have complained that tourism, including cruise ships, is responsible for increased pollution in the city.
Venice has implemented strict rules regarding tourism: littering, engaging in horseplay, not wearing a shirt in public, leaving love locks, and writing on or damaging trees or buildings are all fineable offenses in the city.
Barcelona, Spain
Locals in Barcelona aren’t shy about their dislike for tourists. Popular attractions have even changed their rules as a result of tourist activity.
La Boqueria, a large public market, banned tourist groups of more than 15 people in 2015. Before the ban, large groups of vacationers often blocked foot traffic while taking photographs, according to The Telegraph.
Santorini, Greece
Santorini is a beautiful island off the coast of Greece. It’s often packed with tourists during the summer.
In fact, due to the seasonal influx (涌入) of tourists, the island imposed a rule limiting visitors from cruise ships to 8,000 per day. 790,000 people from 636 cruise ships visited Santorin in 2015, according to Conde Nast Traveler, while the entire island only has a population of just over 15,000.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Amsterdam has long been a popular vacation destination for party-loving travelers.
In response to a rise in tourism, the city has put restrictions on Airbnb so that a rental listing cannot have more than four people at a time, and that tourists cannot keep the rental apartments for more than 60 days a year.
1．According to this passage, for which behaviour will the tourists be fined?
A．Blocking foot traffic in Barcelona
B．Wearing a shirt in public in Santorini
C．Buying a love lock in Amsterdam
D．Damaging a tree in Venice
2．If you are going to rent an apartment in Amsterdam as a tourist, how long can you keep it within a year at most?
A．A year.
B．One month.
C．Two months.
D．A season.
3．What do these tourist attractions have in common?
A．These places have been popular all year around.
B．Rules have been set or changed regarding tourism.
C．Local people use violence against tourists.
D．The number of tourists has decreased a little.
文章大意：本文是说明文，介绍了世界上著名的四大景点，为了限制过热的旅游业给城市带来的不利影响，这些旅游景点制订了关于旅游的一些限制规则。
1.D 细节理解题。根据Venice, Italy部分中“Venice has implemented strict rules regarding tourism: littering, engaging in horseplay, not wearing a shirt in public, leaving love locks, and writing on or damaging trees or buildings are all fineable offenses in the city（威尼斯实行了严格的旅游规则：乱扔垃圾、参与打闹、在公共场合不穿衬衫、留下爱情锁、在树木或建筑物上写字或损坏树木或建筑物都是城市中处罚的罪行）”可知，游客在威尼斯毁坏树木是要被罚款的。故选D项。
2. C细节理解题。根据Amsterdam, the Netherlands的介绍中，“…and that tourists cannot keep the rental apartments for more than 60 days a year”可知，在阿姆斯特丹,规定游客一年不能将租赁公寓保留超过60天。故选C项。
3.B 推理判断题。在Venice, Italy部分中，提到“Venice has implemented strict rules regarding tourism威尼斯在旅游方面实施了严格的规定”；在Barcelona, Spain部分中，提到“Popular attractions have even changed their rules …受欢迎的景点甚至改变了规则”；
在Santorini, Greece部分中，提到“the island imposed a rule limiting visitors…该岛实行了一项限制游客的规定”；在Amsterdam, the Netherlands部分中，提到“the city has put restrictions on Airbnb”。综合上面的介绍，可以推断，这些景点的一个共同点是：为了限制过热的旅游业给城市带来的不利影响，这些旅游景点都制订了关于旅游的一些限制规则或者更改了原有的规则。故选B项。
B
I’ve spent two decades observing what makes people lucky and trying to help people increase their luck. I teach entrepreneurship (社会学). We know many new enterprises fail, and innovators (创业者)need luck.
With my students, I spend much time encouraging them to get out of their comfort zone and take some risks. I do this myself all the time. About a dozen years ago, during a flight, I decided to take a little risk. I started a conversation with the man sitting next to me. I introduced myself, and I learned that he was a publisher.
I learned all about the future of the publishing industry and we exchanged contact (联系) information. So about three quarters through the night, I decided to take another risk. I showed him a book plan I was doing in my class. Although he was very polite, he said it wasn’t right for us.
A couple of months later, I told him I was doing a project on transforming the book, the future of publishing and invited him to come to my class. So he gladly came to my class. We had a great experience. A few months later, I wrote to him again, sending a bunch of video clips (剪辑) from another project my students had made.
He was so stricken by one of them that he thought there was a book in it. I was a little bit hurt, but it was all right. So I invited him and his colleagues to have lunch together. Later, one of his editors asked me if I had considered writing a book. And I pulled out the exact same plan I had showed his boss a year earlier. Within two years, my book had sold over a million copies.

D. the experience made him transform his book
5. Why did the author send the students’ video clips?

7. What does the author think resulted in his luck?

Instagram（图片分享社交应用程序）is about to take its biggest step toward removing likes from its platform. After months of testing an option to hide likes in select international markets, Instagram, which is owned by Facebook（FB）, has already been testing hiding likes in seven other countries, including Canada, Ireland and Australia.
For years, likes have been central to how celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Facebook. It"s a way of measuring popularity and success. But in recent months, Instagram has been rethinking how likes contribute to making its platform more toxic. Now it"s considering a change.
The total number of likes on posts — which appear as hearts on the app ——will disappear from Instagram"s main feed, profile pages and permalink（永久链接）pages. The owner of the account can still see their own likes, but their followers won"t know the count.
CNN Business previously spoke with users in countries with the test. The majority felt this move would improve well-being on the app. Instagram is the most detrimental（不利的，有害的）social networking app for young people"s mental health, such as negatively impacting body image, according to one study.
But other users and psychologists said hiding likes won"t fix everything. The test doesn"t address some of the key ways that activity on Instagram can impact the well-being of users, including bullying, feeling left out and thinking other people"s lives are better than their own.
Renee Engeln, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, voiced his opinion that the biggest impact of Instagram is the content and the exposure to this constant stream of perfected images is what seems to hurt psychologically. Plus, users can still see their own likes ——and feel badly if their posts don"t perform well.
8. How do users experience Instagram in this passage?
A. By giving likes.
B. By hiding likes.
C. By selecting platforms.
D. By showing off talents.
9. The underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “”.
A. profitable
B. poisonous
C. popular
D. positive
10. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Instagram has affected youngsters" mental health.
B. The account owners won"t know the count o likes.
C. Instagram tested hiding likes in seven countries first.
D. The majority think Instagram has been a well-being app.
11. What could be the best title of the passage?
A. Instagram Misuses Likes
B. More People Are Against Likes
C. Likes Cause Mental Problems
D. Likes will Be Hidden on Instagram
文章大意：本文为说明文。Instagram即将迈出最大的一步，从它的平台上移除“点赞”。因为“点赞”让平台变得更“有毒”的，几个月来 Instagram一直尝试在一些国际市场隐藏“点赞”功能。
8.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For years, likes have been central to how celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Facebook.” 多年来，“点赞”一直是名人、品牌、政客和普通用户体验Instagram和Facebook的核心。由此可知，体验Instagram是通过点赞的形式，故选A，
9.B 猜测词义题。根据划线词的上文“For years, likes have been central to how celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Facebook. It"s a way of measuring popularity and success.”多年来，点赞一直是名人、品牌、政客和日常用户体验Instagram和Facebook的核心重点。点赞是衡量受欢迎程度和成功的一种方法。
接着用转折连词but引出下文 “But in recent months, Instagram has been rethinking how likes contribute to making its platform more toxic. ”可知，最近几个月，Instagram一直在反思“点赞”是如何让自己的平台变得更“toxic”。But表示与前文相反的意思。可知，前文叙述“点赞”是一种有用方法，那“toxic”是与之相反的，不好的。再结合“Instagram is about to take its biggest step toward removing likes from its platform..”
Instagram即将迈出最大的一步，从它的平台上去除点赞。可推断出，去除点赞可能是因为它的不好的一面。分析选项A. profitable有利可图的；B. poisonous有毒的；C. popular受欢迎的；D. positive积极的。可知A、C和D都是好的一面，只有B项是不好的。由此推断出“toxic”是有毒的。
10.A 推理判断题。根据第三段“The majority felt this move would improve well-being on the app. Instagram is the most detrimental（不利的，有害的）social networking app for young people"s mental health, such as negatively impacting body image, according to one study.” 大多数认为此举将提高app的健康。一项研究显示，Instagram是对年轻人心理健康最有害的社交网络应用，比如对身体形象产生负面影响。由此可推断出Instagram影响了青少年的心理健康。故选A。
11.D 主旨大意题。本文第一段叙述了Instagram即将迈出最大的一步，从它的平台上移除“点赞”。几个月来 Instagram一直在尝试在一些国际市场隐藏“点赞”功能。因为“点赞”平台变得更“有毒”的。接着下文具体分析了“点赞”造成的不好的影响，从而正要隐藏“点赞”。文章分析“点赞”带来的不好的影响，所以要在Instagram隐藏“点赞”功能。因此D项是最佳题目。故选D。
D
Before dipping your hand into that bowl of M&Ms (一种巧克力豆) at the holiday party, think about what you’re about to do. A lot. A new study finds that people who imagine themselves consuming many pieces of candy eat less of the real thing when given the chance.
Picturing a delicious food—like a juicy steak or an ice cream sundae—generally whets (刺激) the appetite. But what about visualizing yourself eating the entire sundae, spoonful by spoonful?
There’s reason to think that might have the opposite effect, says Carey Morewedge, a psychologist at Carnegie Mellon University. Researchers have found that repeated exposure to a particular food—as in taking bite after bite of it—decreases the desire to consume more. But no one had looked to see whether merely imagining eating has the same effect.
To find out, Morewedge and his colleagues fed M&Ms and cheese cubes to 50 university students. In one experiment, the participants first imagined performing 33 repetitive motions (动作): Half of them imagined eating 30 M&Ms and inserting three quarters into the slot of a laundry machine.
The other half imagined eating three M&Ms and inserting 30 quarters. Then everyone was allowed to eat their fill from a bowl of M&Ms. It was reported that those who’d imagined eating more candy ate about three on average, while the othersate about five M&Ms.
The researchers then extended their findings to another food group—cheese. As in the M&M experiment, people who imagined eating 30 cheese cubes consumed less of the real thing. But volunteers who imagined eating 30 M&Ms ate the same amount of cheese as those who imagined eating three M&Ms. Thus, the effect is specific to the type of food imagined.
The findings should have practical applications, says Morewedge. One possible strategy for weight watchers might be to spend a few minutes before each meal imagining eating exactly the foods they’re about to consume, he says.
Although he is planning follow-up studies to investigate the potential of imagined consumption for helping people control their appetite, Morewedge says he’s not planning to experiment on himself over the holidays. “I really enjoy my mother’s cooking,” he says.
12. What did Morewedge and his colleagues want to find out with the first experiment?
A. Whether imagining eating would lead to weight loss.
B. Whether imagining eating would reduce appetite.
C. Whether picturing a delicious food would whet appetite.
D. Whether repeated exposure to food would reduce appetite.
13. What does the underlined part “the others” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Those who imagined eating 30 M&Ms.
B. Those who imagined eating three M&Ms.
C. Those who didn’t participate in the experiment.
D. Those who didn’t imagine eating M&Ms.
14. According to the findings from the experiment, which of the following may make you eat less?
A. Imagining eating any kind of food.
B. Imagining eating at least two kinds of food.
C. Imagining eating as many kinds of food as possible.
D. Imagining eating the same kind of food you will eat.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Control Your Appetite
B. Imagining Eating M&Ms: A Way to Lose Weight
C. To Eat Less, Imagine Eating More
D. The Less You Imagine, the More You Eat
文章大意：这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，想象自己吃了很多糖果的人在有机会吃下真正的糖果时会吃得更少。故文章建议要想少吃点，想象一下多吃点。
12.B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中Researchers have found that repeated exposure to a particular food—as in taking bite after bite of it—decreases the desire to consume more. But no one had looked to see whether merely imagining eating has the same effect.
（研究人员发现，反复接触一种特定的食物-就像一口接一口地吃-会降低消费更多的欲望。但没有人研究过仅仅想象进食是否也有同样的效果。）以及文章第四段中To find out, Morewedge and his colleagues fed M&Ms and cheese cubes to 50 university students.（为了找出答案，莫尔韦奇和他的同事们给50名大学生喂食了M&M巧克力糖和奶酪方块。）由此可知，莫尔韦奇和他的同事们想从第一个实验中发现想象进食是否会降低食欲。结合选项，故选B。
13.B 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中In one experiment, the participants first imagined performing 33 repetitive motions (动作): Half of them imagined eating 30 M&Ms ... The other half imagined eating three M&Ms and inserting 30 quarters.
Then everyone was allowed to eat their fill from a bowl of M&Ms. It was reported that those who’d imagined eating more candy ate about three on average, while the othersate about five M&Ms.
（在一项实验中，参与者首先想象了33次重复动作：其中一半人想象吃了30块M&M巧克力糖。另一半人想象吃三块M&M巧克力糖，然后放入30枚25美分硬币。然后每个人都被允许一碗M&M。据报道，那些想x像吃更多糖果的人平均吃了大约3块，而其他人吃了大约5块M&M。）由此可知，本段主要进行了一个对比试验，故划线词the others指的是上文中的The other half。即那些想象着吃三块M&M的人。结合选项，故选B。
14.D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中A new study finds that people who imagine themselves consuming many pieces of candy eat less of the real thing when given the chance.（一项新的研究发现，想象自己吃了很多糖果的人在有机会吃下真正的糖果时会吃得更少。）
以及文章第四段中It was reported that those who’d imagined eating more candy ate about three on average, while the others ate about five M&Ms.（据报道，那些想吃更多糖果的人平均吃了大约3块，而其他人吃了大约5块M&M。）由此判断出，根据实验结果，想象自己吃的食物和你将要吃的食物是一样的会让你的食欲降低，使你少吃。故选D。
15.C 标题判断题。根据文章第一段中A new study finds that people who imagine themselves consuming many pieces of candy eat less of the real thing when given the chance.（一项新的研究发现，想象自己吃了很多糖果的人在有机会吃下真正的糖果时会吃得更少。）以及分析全文可知，文章都是围绕该内容展开说明的。故C项（To Eat Less, Imagine Eating More）要想少吃点，想象一下多吃点。作为标题，能够概括文章中心。故选C。

【答案】
文章大意：本文是记叙文。文章讲述了《新民晚报》编辑曹正文对冰心等许多文化人物的采访并邀请他们为报纸撰稿，他后来选择并编辑了他们的生活故事，并将其编入《文化偶像访谈记录》一书，传递了“生活中最令人愉快的事情就是读书”的信念。
41. belief考查名词。句意：“没有什么比读书更能使我们开心了。”冰心在1987年表达了这种信念。this后面使用名词，believe的名词是belief，它在this后面，应使用单数形式。故填belief。
42. firmly考查副词。句意：娱乐新闻增加了，这很好，但是我坚信生活中最令人愉快的事情就是读书。副词作状语修饰形容词。故填firmly。
43. took考查动词时态。句意：曹对冰心的采访发生在《自娱自乐》这本书出版大约两年之后。由句意及was published可知，主句中的谓语take place，应使用一般过去时。故填took。
44. weakening考查动名词。句意：它批评电视削弱了书籍所代表的理性思维。介词for后面使用动词时，应将动词改为动名词的形式。故填weakening。
45. the
考查冠词。句意：为了鼓励更多的人阅读，曹在1986年的《新民晚报》上推出了“阅读的乐趣”部分。此处为特指意义，应使用定冠词the。故填the。
46. when考查定语从句。句意：在这个栏目传承和越来越受人欢迎的22年中，他采访了许多文化人物并邀请他们为报纸撰稿。分析句子结构，years后面是一个定语从句，先行词years在从句中作状语，应使用when引导。故填when。
47. to write考查非谓语动词。句意：在这个栏目传承和越来越受人欢迎的22年中，他采访了许多文化人物并邀请他们为报纸撰稿。invite sb. to do sth.“邀请某人去做某事”。故填to write。
48. spiritual考查形容词。句意：借助曹的努力，今天的读者可以难得一见的是典型的中国知识分子的精神世界，一个朴素，敢于牺牲和无私的世界。形容词在句中作定语修饰world。故填spiritual。
49. in/under考查介词。句意：这本书不仅告诉我们他们在阅读中有多快乐，而且还告诉我们他们在困难的环境中的生活如何。分析句子结构可知，此处需要填入介词。in/under difficult conditions“在困难的环境中”。故填in/under。
50. ourselves
考查反身代词。句意：换句话说，这本书除了教我们如何阅读以及阅读什么，还教我们如何让自己表现得更优秀一些。反身代词通常是用来加强语气的，意思是“亲自，本身”，根据句意可知，此处使用反身代词在人称和数上要与us保持一致。故填ourselves。

I’ve always been fond in collecting stamps since I was a child. As far as I"m concerned, collecting stamps is a meaningful hobby, help me to learn a lot of. Besides, dealing with my collection of stamps not only gives me great satisfactions but also helps relax yourself under the great pressure of studies.
What"s more, I even earned money by selling stamps and my collection will be more valuable as time goes by. Therefore, my parents are strongly against it. They consider it waste of money and they also think that sorting out my stamps may take up too much of my time, that should be spent on my studies. What can I talk them into supporting my hobby?
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文，作者介绍了自己的爱好——集邮。
第一处：in → of考查固定短语。句意：我从小就喜欢集邮。be fond of表示“喜欢”，故in改为of。
第二处：help → helping考查非谓语动词。句意：就我而言，集邮是一种有意义的爱好，能帮助我学到很多东西。分析句子结构可知此处使用非谓语动词，collecting stamps与help之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，用现在分词作状语，故help改为helping。
第三处：去掉of考查a lot of与a lot的区别。句意同上，a lot of重在表示物品的数量，常修饰名词，a lot则重在表示程度，常修饰动词，此处的of是多余的，故去掉of。
第四处：satisfactions → satisfaction考查名词的数。句意：此外，处理我收集的邮票（做好我的集邮工作）不仅给我很大的满足，也帮助我在巨大的学习压力下放松自己。此处的satisfaction表示抽象意义，为不可数名词，没有复数形式，故satisfactions改为satisfaction。
第五处：yourself → myself查代词。句意同上，根据“me”可知此处表示“我自己”而不是“你自己”，故yourself改为myself。
第六处：earned → earn考查时态。句意：更重要的是，我甚至通过卖邮票赚钱，我的收藏会随着时间的推移变得更有价值。文章的基础时态为一般现在时，此处也应该用一般现在时，主语是I，谓语动词用复数，故earned改为earn。
第七处：Therefore → However考查副词。句意：然而，我父母极力反对我集邮。“我喜欢集邮”与“父母反对我集邮”之间是转折而非因果关系，故Therefore改为However。
第八处：waste前加a考查固定短语。句意：他们认为这是浪费钱，他们还认为整理邮票可能会占用我太多的时间，而我应该把这些时间花在学习上。a waste of表示“浪费……”，故waste前加a。
第九处：that → which考查非限定性定语从句。句意同上，此处为非限定性定语从句，关系词指代先行词time并在从句中作主语，而that不能引导非限定性定语从句，故that改为which。
第十处：What → How考查疑问词。句意：我怎样才能说服他们支持我的爱好呢？根据句意可知此处表示“如何”而不是“什么”，故What改为How。
