We really are all in this together．‎ 1. Why did the cashier feel a little surprised at the word by the writer？ ______ ‎ A. Because she didn't know how to answer her greeting at all． B. Because she was in deep thought of her grandfather completely． C. Because she was praying for her grandfather in the heart then． D. Because she hadn't thought the writer greeted her with great concern．‎ 2. What does the phrase kept bubbling over in paragraph 4 really mean？ ______ ‎ A. Continued bubbling． B. Talked on and on． C. Moved here and there． D. Greeted to us all the time．‎ 3. What can we learn from the story？ ______ ‎ A. When meeting， greet each other． B. Greeting warmly， reward fully． C. A warm greeting makes a difference． D.

How many reasons are there for the drought of Mekong River this year？ ______ ‎ A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four．‎ 2. What can we know from the passage？ ______ ‎ A. Droughts are likely to happen more frequently in the future． B. The water levels of the Mekong River is becoming lower and lower． C. The Mekong River starts from the Tibetan highlands and ends in the Tonic Sap Lake． D. The harvest offish in the River hasn't been greatly a fleeted because of the droughts．‎ 3. What's the attitude of experts to water flow of Mekong River in future？ ______ ‎ A. Positive． B. Unconcerned． C. Worried． D. Negative．‎ 4. In which magazine can we most probably find this passage？ ______ ‎ A. National Geography． B. Scientific American． C. Overseas English． D. Tourism．‎ C Not too long ago a thirty-year-old financial analyst was complaining to me over a period of months about her tendency to procrastinate（拖延）in her job． We had worked through her feelings about her employers and how they related to her feelings about authority in general， and to her parents specifically． We had examined her attitudes toward work and success and how these related to her marriage， her sexual identity， her desire to compete with her husband， and her fears of such competition． Yet despite all this standard psychoanalytic（精神分析的）work， she continued to procrastinate as much as ever． Finally one day， we dared to look at the obvious． "Do you like cakes？" I asked her．‎ ‎ She replied that she did． "Which part of the cake do you like better，"I went on， " the cake or the frosting（糖霜）？" "Oh， the frosting!" she responded enthusiastically． "And how do you eat a piece of cake？" I inquired， feeling that I must be the most silly psychiatrist that ever lived． "I eat the frosting first， of course，"she replied． From her cake-eating habits we went on to examine her work habits， and， as was to be expected we discovered that on any given day she would devote the first hour to the more satisfying half of her work while the remaining six hours to the objectionable （令人反感的） another half． I suggested that if she were to force herself to finish the unpleasant part of her job during the first hour， she would then be free to enjoy the other six． It seemed to me， I explained， that one hour of pain followed by six hours of pleasure was preferable to one hour of pleasure followed by six hours of pain． She agreed， and， being basically a person of strong will， she no longer procrastinated． Delaying satisfaction is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to improve the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with． It is the only good way to live．‎ 1. Why did the author ask about her friend's cake-eating habits？ ______ ‎ A. To have a relaxing chat with her． B. To know more about her habits in her life and work． C. To share their favorite food． D. To find out something obvious．‎ 2. What was the advice from the author？ ______ ‎ A. Forcing herself to finish the unpleasant part of the job． B. Being free to enjoy the job． C. Experiencing and overcoming the pain first． D. Being a person of strong will．‎ 3. Which of the following will be the best title of the passage？ ______ ‎ A. A friend's problem． B. Delaying your satisfaction． C. Experience the pain． D. A cake in life．‎ 二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）‎ Coloring books are no longer just for children! In fact adult coloring books are topping bestseller lists． Why have adults decided to start coloring again？ (1) It is to relieve stress and anxiety． (2) They take on full-time jobs that often demand more than 40 hours a week， equally as part-time jobs， family responsibilities， and trying some "fun"when they can． For many， there just aren't enough hours in the day， which explains why practising mindfulness becomes so popular． It's important to set aside some time to calm the thoughts． Coloring can be an escape from everyday stress． (3) A trend among adults is to seek out childhood experiences． That's why summer camps adults are cropping up across the country． Perhaps nothing is more equal to childhood than a coloring book． A brand new coloring book with bright markers， crayons， and colored pencils provide ‎ endless possibilities． Adult coloring books are much more detailed than coloring books for children， but the emotions are similar and allow adults to feel as if they are "a kid again"． It is to put down the technology． Adults arc constantly staring at screens： Desktops， laptops， tablets， phones， TVS， etc． (4) Even some readers have e-readers and tablets to consume books， magazines， and newspapers． An adult coloring book provides a great outlet to escape from all of the screens． Of course， to truly realize the benefit of stepping away from the devices for a period of time， you can't constantly be checking them while you color! Turn them off and leave them in another room． (5) ‎ A．Adults lead busy， tiring lives． B．Coloring books are expensive． C．It is to go back to their childhood． D．Here are 3 reasons to let you deeply understand it． E．It is to practise the patience and improve their relation with children． F．If you really can't let go， there are coloring apps that adults can enjoy． G．Whether for business or personal use， it has become very difficult to "put down"‎ 1. ‎ A.
