4、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It may sound hard to believe in this digital age but Yang Hao, 32-year-old doctoral student studying in the UK, had a solo trip the old-fashioned way last year. He used a printed map, paying for everything (use) cash or a bank card, reading train timetables, and talking to strangers.
Over the course of 134 days, he visited 68 counties and cities in 24 provinces and regions across China, read 40 books, and used two cameras to record he saw and experienced along the way. "I realized that those 134 days were the most fulfilling,(focus) and productive period of my life. It was an experience of absolute(concentrate)," says Yang. Since his story was posted online, it (bring) about widespread discussion and reflection on the modern dependence technology. One netizen named Yangbu'er,(comment) that "while technology makes the world smallerwe seem to have more resources to hand, we also lose some things". Another from Fujian province wrote that not having a phone would bring anxiety in modern society because phones combine many functions in one.
Though he foresaw that it would trigger (引发) some discussion, the public attention his journey has drawn is (true)beyond his imagination. Now, he keeps a degree of distance from the Internet, and does not have Wi-Fi connected to his phone and also limits his phone usage to 90 minutes per day.

I had always envied my friends who were3 news about "chat rooms", "instant messaging" and "emailing", all of which I knew4 about. Now I was going to find out. I was searching for some information on my laptop when I5 a social networking site. Soon I became fascinated with my new-found electronic friend.
As time passed, I realized that I was6 to the Internet. It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room,7 to come out and take part in family discussions. Soon, my sleep was8 to only scattered (分散的) naps, and my grades at school also began getting worse.
My parents started voicing their9. It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internet. I was asked to reduce my usage of the Internet.10, however hard I tried, I was unable to pull myself away, unable to11my chat sessions and unable to concentrate on my lessons.

6、Ever woken up from a nap feeling lost or more tired, as if you've forgotten which planet you're on?. It is a sign that you might go beyond your napping mark. It can slow you down in the short term and potentially affect your nighttime sleep in the long run. To avoid this and wake up refreshed, follow these principles for taking the perfect nap.
Take regular naps
You don't want a casual napping schedule where you sleep "sometimes early, sometimes late, sometimes short." So pick a time, like after lunch or in between your afternoon meetings and stick to it.. If you're napping in your car on your lunch break for example, consider bringing a pillow, an eye mask or earplugs to help boost your nap experience.
From the moment you wake up in the morning, sleep pressure builds in your body to push you to fall asleep again at the end of the day. Napping relieves some of that pressure, so it's important that you nap early enough in the day for it to build back up by bedtime. If you follow a conventional nighttime sleep schedule, take a nap between noon and 3 p.m..
Keep your nap brief
. It might be painful if you're a fan of a long, leisurely afternoon snooze. However, the truth is that longer naps can lead to sleep inertia (睡眠惯性) more easily because you might enter deeper sleep, making it harder to wake up. If you find yourself falling asleep quickly and dipping into deep sleep with only 30 minutes of napping, that's a sign you're not getting enough sleep at night. If this is the case, take steps to raise the quality of your nighttime sleep.
A. Nap early in the day
B. Follow a nap schedule early
C. A good, short nap can offer mental health benefits
D. That sleepy, almost-drunk feeling is called sleep inertia
E. Experts suggest keeping your naps from 10 minutes to an hour tops
F. Use the same sleep environment each time and create a cosy nap space
G. For people who work nights, take a nap at least 6 hours before you sleep

7、New scientific research has found that attending live sporting events enhances levels of wellbeing. Published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health, the research is the first large-sized study to examine the benefits of attending any type of live sporting event.
It found that attending live sporting events results in higher scores of two major measurements of subjective wellbeing-life satisfaction and a sense of "life being worthwhile" — as well as lower levels of loneliness. These results are significant as previous studies have shown that higher life satisfaction scores are associated with fewer life-limiting conditions, better physical health and successful ageing.
The new study also found that attending live sporting events leads to an increase in people's sense that "life is worthwhile," and the size of this increase is comparable to that of gaining employment. Watching live sporting events can also offer an accessible and effective public health tool for improving wellbeing.
Lead author Dr Helen Keyes, Head of the School of Psychology and Sport Science at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), said: "Previous research has focused on certain sports or small population groups, such as college students in the United States. Ours is the first study to look at the benefits of attending any sporting event across an adult population, and therefore our findings could be useful for shaping future public health strategies, such as offering reduced ticket prices for certain groups."
The live events covered by the survey ranged from free amateur (业余的) events, such as watching village sports teams, right through to Premier League football matches. Therefore, further research needs to be carried out to see if these benefits are more pronounced for top level sport, or are more closely linked to supporting a specific team.
However, without doubt, watching live sport of all types provides many opportunities for social interaction and this helps to shape group identity and belonging, which in turn boosts levels of wellbeing.
(1)、What can we learn about the new study from the passage?A、The study only covered Premier League football matches. B、Watching live sporting events has little effect on one's wellbeing. C、It is the first one to study the benefits of attending live sporting events. D、Attending live sporting events increases life satisfaction and a sense of meaning.(2)、What's Dr. Helen Keyes's attitude to the study?A、Objective. B、Neutral. C、Negative. D、Positive.(3)、What does the underlined word "pronounced" in paragraph 5 mean?A、Suitable. B、Noticeable. C、Powerful. D、Important.(4)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Attending Live Sport Improves Wellbeing B、Watching Live Sporting Events Has Many Benefits C、A Research on the Popularity of Live Sporting Events D、A Study on the Effects of Sporting Events on Physical Health -
8、Travel is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're going to get, especially when using a mystery box plane ticket.
Earlier this year, mystery box travel became trendy among China's young people. In normal trips, people often plan their vacations well in advance. After buying a mystery box at a low price — usually 100 or 200 yuan — the travelers using this method will select their departure airport and then receive several destinations to choose from. After the destination is decided, their trip begins.
Liao Liangyu, 16, has turned his eagerness to go on a mystery box trip into reality. He took a mystery box trip with a couple of friends months ago. It started when one of them got a mystery box ticket to Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province. Surprisingly, Liao happened to get Changsha too. Right before their departure, a friend told Liao that Changsha was a super hyped-up (被炒作) Internet-famous site. But he still decided to go and see it for himself. "My biggest discovery is that Changsha is a city full of contrasts," Liao explained to China Daily. "You can see tall buildings and low houses in the same view."
Since the destination options include many less popular cities, travel mystery boxes also bring economic benefits to them. For example, Dehong city is a beautiful city in Yunnan province yet has few visitors due to a lack of promotion. Following its inclusion as a mystery box travel destination, however, it has gained a lot of attention and is now thought of as a popular destination for tourism.
But even so, a large number of people feel disappointed with travel mystery boxes because they can face many problems after buying one, such as improper travel times, sudden flight cancellations, or even challenges with refunds (退款). Sun Weili from Ctrip suggested in an interview with Haibao News that visitors should select reliable platforms and sign contracts to ensure their interests.
(1)、What is the main attraction of a mystery box plane ticket?A、It offers travelers a low price for plane tickets. B、It provides travelers with several destination choices. C、It allows travelers to choose their own departure time. D、It requires travelers to plan their vacations in advance.(2)、Why did Liao Liangyu decide to take a mystery box trip to Changsha?A、Because it was a super hyped-up site. B、Because he wanted to experience a city full of contrasts. C、Because one of his friends had already bought a ticket there. D、Because he wanted to see it in person regardless of others' opinion.(3)、How do travel mystery boxes benefit less popular cities economically?A、They create more jobs for locals. B、They increase the number of visitors. C、They provide more travel options. D、They cut down the cost of promotion.(4)、What advice did Sun Weili give to visitors regarding travel mystery boxes?A、To pick popular destinations. B、To avoid traveling during the peak season. C、To choose dependable platforms and sign contracts. D、To read the refund policy before buying mystery boxes. -

20、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In my childhood, I tried many activities, and most of them were chosen by Mom. She would always say, "Join the swim team, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer, so you should be too." But she didn't know that I was really scared of water. Even though I was afraid, I had to do this activity that made me nervous.
Every Saturday was a struggle. I would ask Mom with all my heart not to make me go to the swim meet. But most of the time, I didn't succeed. When the starting gun went off with a loud sound, I would gather all my courage and strength and jump into the cold water. I would swim as fast as I could to the other side of the pool, but I would always see the other swimmers pass me easily.
But I didn't give up completely. The reason was my dad. When I finally reached the edge of the pool, tired and defeated, he would be there with a warm, dry towel. He would tell me that he was proud of my hard work. His words and presence were like a life buoy, keeping me going in this uncertain situation.
Then, a big turning point came. Our school orchestra (管弦乐队) came to our class and gave a performance. The drums were just annoying, and the flutes were boring. But when I heard the violin… oh, that was different. It made the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. My heart started to dance with its melody.
For the first time in my life, I was very happy. And what's more, the orchestra director gave me a permission slip (许可单) for my parents to sign, asking me to try out for the first seat in the community orchestra. This was a new start, a glimmer of hope in a journey that had been full of challenges and uncertainties.
注意:
