择最佳选项。
My father was 44. He knew for sure that he wasn’t going to 13 it to 45. He wrote me a letter and
hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. One
part always 14 out, “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one day, you
will do something great that will 15 you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me
gave me permission （许可）to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know
what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt 16 of myself, I remember
his words and wish he were here, so I could ask, “Is this what you were talking about, Dad Should I
keep going ”
A long way from 12 now, I 17 he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately,
though, I’ve come to believe he’d want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of, and
believe in, somebody else. It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look
to us with the same 18 question we had. Our kids don’t hold back because they’re not afraid to fail.
They’re only afraid of failing us. They don’t worry about being disappointed. Their worry – as mine
was until I got my father’s letter – is of being a disappointment.
Give your children permission to succeed. They’re waiting for you to 19 them. I always knew
my parents loved me. But trust me. That belief will be more complete, that love will be more real,
and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts, “Don’t worry;
you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing（祝福）from their parents may be the only
thing 20 them back.
13. A. keep B. take C. make D. move
14. A. stands B. points C. checks D. breaks
15. A. push B. afford C. allow D. set
16. A. relaxed B. nervous C. sorry D. proud
17. A. realize B. wonder C. remember D. recognize
18. A. unreasoned B. unexpected C. unanswered D. unnoticed
19. A. think of B. believe in C. care about D. talk about

China has marked its National Winter Swimming Day. Many swimming lovers in the north of
第3页/共9页
the country celebrated it on January 1st.
Winter swimming is a physical training. During it, you can have a cold wind bath, an icy water
bath and a sunbath at the same time in the open air of winter.
When you have taken off clothes, all parts of your body are awakened by the cold. You may
feel like going into the water, but a warm-up exercise is a must before jumping into the freezing
water.
You go into the cold water and swim. The only thing you think about in the cold water is how to
withstand （承受住）the cold. At this moment, your brain is relaxed and at rest. Then you come out
just when your hands and feet are beginning to feel freezing.
After you get dried, your pink-colored skin is bathed in the winter sunshine. Slowly, you no
longer feel cold. After the “three baths” of air, water and sun, you will feel warm, relaxed and
comfortable.
Winter swimming is a way to keep fit. Many people find it a difficult sport, while its lovers say
the sport makes them stronger. But it may not be fit for everyone. Before you decide to try, make
sure you check you’re in good physical condition to do such a brave sport.
24. When you are swimming in the cold water, your brain is ______.
A. relaxed B. fresh C. active D. slow
25. After winter swimming, you will feel ______.
A. full B. healthy C. freezing D. comfortable
26. To take part in winter swimming, you must ______.
A. enjoy cold wind bath B. receive special training
C. check your physical condition D. take warm-up exercise every day
C
People used to see lots of plastics on the sea surface. Now in a study, researchers have found
that the microplastic pollution in deep water is much more serious than that on the sea surface.
“What we've known about microplastic has been from the sea surface," says Kyle Van Houtan, "but
this study suggests there's a larger amount that's unnoticed."
Microplastics are small pieces that break from plastic bottles or bags as they change to simpler
chemical forms in the environment. They have different sizes and can be found anywhere, including
in the oceans, lakes, soil and even blowing in the air.
To study microplastic pollution in deep sea, Houtan's team collected samples (样本) in the sea
by using a ROV ( 遙 控 潜 水 器 ). As the ROV went down from 5 to 1,000 meters below the sea
surface, a specially-designed machine filtered (过滤) the sample water and kept the small particles
(微粒). Back in the lab, the team used a special machine to find out the types of plastic present.
第4页/共9页
Although the researchers found microplastic was everywhere, the amount of the particles was
not evenly spread in the water. The midwater, 180 to 460 meters below the surface, held the highest
amount of microplastic pollution, about four times as much as on the surface. Van Houtan thinks this
may be because when plastic breaks down into ever- smaller pieces, they are covered with biological
material, which causes them to go down into the deep-sea area.
Their findings are based only on a certain area, and if the results hold for the wider ocean
environment, the amount of plastic in the midwater would be worrying, because this is key living
environment for most sea animals. These particles, which have harmful chemicals, can go into the
food webs at both the ocean's surface and seafloor, and can influence reproduction of sea animals.
The final effect remains unknown, but what is for certain, Houtan says, is that "this is a serious
problem, and it shows humans can change natural systems." Yet in other ways, “the results are
encouraging," he says. Since most of the microplastic waste comes from single-use plastic, this
means we could reduce microplastic pollution by cutting down on the production and use of the
unnecessary plastic products.
27. Houtan's team used ROV to ________.
A. filter the sample water
B. collect samples in the sea
C. examine the chemicals
D. record the depth of water
28. What can we learn from the study mentioned in the passage
A. The sea surface is the most seriously polluted.
B. Deep-sea animals will die out in the near future.
C. The midwater holds the most microplastic particles.
D. Biological material destroys the food webs in deep sea.
29. What is the writer’s main purpose in wring this passage
A. To remind people to reduce plastic waste.
B. To explain causes of microplastic pollution.
C. To introduce changes in the ocean ecosystem.
D. To advise people to recycle single-use products.
D
Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing
your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical
sensation（感觉）of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you
from making unwise decisions – those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by
psychologist John A. Bargh.

Psychologists have known that one person’s feelings of another’s “warmth” is a powerful factor
in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is an important thing needed
to be thought about carefully, even there are studies showing that a “cold” person may be more
skillful. Much of this is deep into very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’
sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, especially warmth and coldness.
Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a
cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle.
Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to give strength to the need for warm
physical touch from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social
skills.
Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no
worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common
to many cultures, and studies have found those sensations influence judgment in many countries.
To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh did an experiment in
which 41 college students took part in. A research assistant handed the students either a hot cup of
coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink
was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate（评估）the personality of “Person
A” based on the description. Those who had just held the warm drink thought Person A as warmer
than those who had held the iced drink.
30. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ______.
A. the visitors to his office B. the psychology lessons he has
C. his physical feeling of coldness D. the things he has bought online
31. The writer mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ______.
A. adults should develop social skills B. babies need warm physical touch
C. caregivers should be healthy adults D. monkeys have social relationships
32. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide
B. social skills do not come from physical experiences
C. physical temperature influences how we see others
D. skillful persons are often cold to others
33. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships.
B. Developing Better Drinking Habits.
C. Experiments of Personal Emotion.
D. Physical Sensations and Emotions.

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，每小题 2 分）
If you’re going to travel the world this summer, you should make
up a travel budget (预算) before you hit the road. This budget will help
you know how much you need to save before leaving home so that you
don’t need to call mom and dad, begging for help halfway through
your trip. Here are three tips to help you plan your money for the trip
you have planned for this summer vacation.
● Pick a location that fits your budget
The countries you choose to visit will have the greatest influence on the necessary size of your
travel
budget. Road tripping across America or backpacking through Europe, while popular, are two
of the more expensive choices for a vacation. In contrast, a visit to Asia or South America will be
much less expensive than back home.
● “Fun” activities are expensive
It seems to be necessary to plan your travel budget around three major costs…
1. Transportation
2. Hotels
3. Food
Paying for these necessities is part of travel, but you might be surprised to learn that they could
add up to less than half of the money you’ll spend abroad. If you’re like me, your “dream vacation”
includes more than sitting in your hotel bed.
When I was living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I owned a small apartment and ate delicious Asian
noodles 3 times per day. With the room at $5 per night and meals for $1, I spent about $8 per day.
One of the coolest things to do in Chiang Mai is to go on a zip line adventure. It cost me $60 to
get into the trees, which is about what I paid to live for 1 week in Thailand. If you want to go on an
excursion (远足) every day, you’ll easily spend five times as much on “fun” as you do on necessities.
This is true all over the world, so make sure you plan excursions into your travel budget ahead of
time.
● Plan for the unexpected
You won’t always be prepared for everything that comes your way while traveling. You need at
least
$1,000 to help you deal with the unexpected.
First, there’s the good kind of unexpected…
When I was traveling through France on my summer vacation three years ago, I had no idea that
第7页/共9页
the annual bull running festival (奔牛节) was happening in Spain. A traveler who had just arrived
from Spain told me about the festival and because I had some extra money I was able to change my
plans and attend!
There’s also the bad kind of unexpected…
When I entered Thailand, I forgot my visa expiration date (签证截止日期). I ended up
overstaying by nearly 1 month! When I crossed the border (边境), I was politely told I needed to pay
the Thai government nearly $400!
Giving yourself some extra money is very important to your safety and the enjoyment of your
trip.
34. What should you do if you’re going to travel the world

35. How much did the writer spend getting into the trees in Thailand
