Doctors later told Mark that his foot had been shattered ( 粉 碎). The surgeries left him unable to walk normally for a year, and Mark was forced to abandon his plans to be a successful business owner.‎ Little did Mark know that Luke Hutchins, the driver of the other car, was suffering, too. The reason he had lost control of his vehicle was that he had an epileptic fit ( 癫痫发作) — his first, but not his last. Mark knew none of this. Instead, he was still furious with Luke, who had cost him his career. After his foot had mostly recovered, Mark decided to walk the 500-mile Camino de Santiago, a rough path that begins in France, continues through the Pyrenees Mountains, and ends in Spain. ‎ One year later, Mark finished his trip and was still curious about the accident, so he decided to do one more thing: Meet Luke. The two were nervous about speaking to each other, but once Mark learned that Luke was not at fault for the incident and that he had been similarly struggling to recover, Mark knew that Luke needed to walk the Camino de Santiago too — and they needed to do it together.‎ In 2017, Mark and Luke embarked on ( 开 始) their trip, which was hard on Luke at first. As time progressed, Luke became stronger both physically and mentally. During their 40-day trip, the two men kept encouraging each other and had many heart-to-heart talks. And they came to realize that unless you let go of the past, you cannot move forward.‎ ‎24. What happened to Mark on June 9, 2015?‎ A. He lost his way home in the dark.‎ B. He gave up his marketing business.‎ C. He was badly hurt in a car accident.‎ D. He failed to meet an important client.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “furious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A. Very angry. B. Quite strict. ‎ C. Rather impatient. D. Really pleased. ‎ ‎26. Why did Mark decide to meet Luke?‎ A. To make an apology.‎ B. To find out the truth.‎ C. To tell Luke about his trip.‎ D. To cure Luke of his epilepsy.‎ ‎27. What can we learn from Mark’s story?‎ A. One can never be too careful.‎ B. It is good to have friends in trouble.‎ C. Learn to forgive and live a better life.‎ D. Be generous and you’ll be successful.‎ C Executives ( 管 理 人 员) can read about the principles of good leadership and team building. They can attend conferences or hire coaches. But spending an hour watching a horse whisperer ( 马语者) bond with and gain the cooperation of a wild, 1, 000-pound horse can bring home important leadership lessons in an immediate way.‎ Horses are acutely sensitive to human energy and body language, making them the perfect partners in real-time exercises involving trust and cooperation. “It’s an amazing experience,” said Cece Morken, an executive vice president at Intuit. Morken is one of hundreds of executives every year who have attended leadership demonstrations and training sessions by horse whisperer Grant Golliher and his wife, Jane, who run the Diamond Cross Ranch (牧场) near Jackson Hole, Wyoming.‎ The couple has worked with leadership groups from up to 200 organizations, including well-known public companies such as Google, Disney and Toyota, as well as private businesses and government agencies. Their ranch has been in Jane’s family since the 1940s. But the idea for the leadership demonstrations and training wasn’t born until two decades ago, after the couple received a lot of positive responses from a private event that they held for 300 people from Microsoft.‎ Companies today bring executives to the ranch to learn how Grant Golliher builds a relationship with a horse through a display of respect, patience and non-violent boundary-setting. The philosophy that informs his actions relies heavily on emotional intelligence to communicate and inspire, and that can apply when leading employees too.‎ Michael Beckerman, CEO of commercial real estate research company CREtech, watched Grant work with a horse that had been living in the wild just two weeks earlier. When approaching ‎ the horse, as seen in a video Beckerman took, Grant stressed to executives in the audience that horses need freedom. “I saw real fear, real danger and real potential for consequences,” Beckerman said. “Grant showed the power of love and kindness, of trust and establishing boundaries. The experience made me realize the disadvantages of anger and aggression.”‎ ‎28. Why do executives come to visit a horse whisperer?‎ A. To hire a coach.‎ B. To build a bond with horses.‎ C. To learn how to be a wise leader.‎ D. To seek opportunities for cooperation.‎ ‎29. What can be learned about the Diamond Cross Ranch?‎ A. It was passed down from Jane’s family.‎ B. It has a history of over a hundred years.‎ C. It has attracted executives since the 1940s.‎ D. It began the leadership training due to Disney.‎ ‎30. What might be Beckerman’s attitude to Grant’s demonstration?‎ A. He was in favor of it.‎ B. He was strongly against it. ‎ C. He was uncertain about it.‎ D. He was dissatisfied with it.‎ ‎31. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. An unusual way to train a wild horse B. A new form of recreation for executives C. The new challenges of running a ranch D. The inspiration from a horse whisperer D A new study suggests a link between being exposed to greenery and reduced desires for alcohol, cigarettes and junk food. It is the first work to look into the possible relationships between exposure to nature, desires and negative emotions. Researchers studied 149 respondents aged 21 to 65 about the green spaces in their neighborhood, the presence of green views from their home, their access to a garden and how often they used public green spaces.‎ Researchers found that the presence of visible green spaces contributed to decreased desires. The effect was particularly noticeable when more than 25 percent of a respondent’s view was greenery.‎ Previous scholarship has dealt mostly with exercise in nature: A 2015 study found that 90-minute group nature walks were effective at fighting against depression and other mood disorders. But for people who struggle with accessibility or don’t have time for a 90-minute walk, this new study suggests just looking out of a window at a tree can help fight off a bad habit. It could influence public health programs and encourage planning for access to green spaces.‎ ‎“It has been known for some time that being outdoors in nature is linked to a person’s well-being,” lead author Leanne Martin said in a statement. “But simply being able to see green spaces to produce a similar association with desires adds a new dimension to previous research.” Dr. Sabine Pahl, a professor of psychology at the University of Plymouth, calls Martin’s work “a promising first step.”‎ Martin’s work is part of a growing field of study known as ecotherapy ( 生 态 疗 法), which, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH), addresses human health “against the background of the health of the Earth and its natural ecosystems,” examining how people and nature can interact to each other’s benefit.‎ A 2018 study from Denmark’s Aarhus University, for example, found that having access to green spaces throughout childhood decreased a person’s risk of developing mental health problems as an adult.‎ ‎32. What does the new study focus on?‎ A. What negative emotions mean.‎ B. How to get access to green spaces.‎ C. How exposure to nature reduces bad habits.‎ D. What is the influece of previous studies on greenery.‎ ‎33. What is the significance of this new study?‎ A. It has enriched the previous research.‎ B. It has proved previous research wrong.‎ C. It has encouraged green urban planning.‎ D. It has started some new public health programs.‎ ‎34. How does ecotherapy benefit people?‎ A. By persuading them to do exercise.‎ B. By improving their health through nature.‎ C. By offering them biological examinations.‎ D. By encouraging them to follow NIH’s instructions.‎ ‎35. Why does the text mention the 2018 study in the last paragraph?‎ A. To start a different topic. ‎ B. To admire Martin’s work.‎ C. To encourage related studies. ‎ D. To prove ecotherapy is effective.‎ 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Should parents educate their children at home?‎ Some parents are now choosing to educate their children at home. This is often because these children find it difficult to fit into the school system. Why? 36‎ Of course, there are obvious advantages. Children will be able to realize their potential better if they can work at their own rate. 37 Problems such as truancy (旷课) and overpressure are common in some schools, which can be prevented effectively if children learn at home.‎ ‎38 First of all, children are able to socialize and meet people of different ages. Secondly, schools can offer a much wider range of subjects than parents can provide on their own. Parents would need to have a whole range of professional knowledge in science subjects like physics and chemistry as well as English literature. And then, schools have more resources and equipment than can be provided at home. 39 Next, it is also questionable whether parents could keep a disciplined study atmosphere at home because of the friendly family atmosphere. ‎ ‎40 It is fair to assume that home education aids concentration and protection, but it also limits socializing, professional teaching and availability of resources. There may be particular cases in which home tutoring would be advantageous, such as for severely disabled children; however, for the vast majority of children there are greater benefits from going to school.‎ A. School violence has been decreasing in recent years.‎ B. However, most parents choose to send children to school.‎ C. Good teachers are always willing to take the time to reach students.‎ D. On balance it seems that education at school is preferable to learning at home.‎ E. Some of them are especially gifted, and the others have problems of some kind.‎ F. Meanwhile, parents will also be able to protect their children from harmful influences.‎ G. For example, there are libraries, sports equipment and laboratories for science experiments.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20 小题； 每小题1.5分， 满分30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项填入空白处。‎ Kindness is always appreciated, but not always expected.‎ As Erica Usinger 41 on the side of a busy highway, she didn’t have a lot of 42 that a passing motorist would stop to help her with her flat tire.

So he waited with Erica for more than 40 minutes until her mother got there. 52 , her mother’s spare was flat too. ‎ Undeterred ( 不 气 馁 的), Teewon put his spare on Erica’s car instead. Erica was finally 53 to move her car off the side of the road.‎ After everyone was ready to go their 54 ways, Erica tried 55 to buy Teewon dinner to thank him for everything he’d done to help. “He wouldn’t 56 it,” Erica said. “He actually just said the only thing he wanted us to do was to pay it forward if we saw someone else in need.”‎ Once she was safely home, Erica wrote about her 57 on social media. “That was how a bad evening ended on a 58 note and restored my faith in humanity,” Erica wrote.‎ What a 59 act!
