That’s why you need to give yourself a daily time set aside just for reviewing. 【小题3】 Don’t multitask. If you are on the computer or have your phone nearby, you may try to multitask. In addition to doing your work, you may want to send emails, update your Facebook page or look at other websites. DON’T! 【小题4】 And complete your study in a shorter amount of time with longer lasting results.Chop up for memory. 【小题5】 It’s logical that a smaller piece of knowledge is easier to remember than a large block of information.A.It’s really difficult.B.Write more things down.C.Put your focus on the one thing you are studying.D.Understand the information so that you can remember it in a shorter time.E.Another way to help your memory is to break information into smaller pieces.F.Keep your tasks at hand and memorize some key information whenever you have free time.G.You can take 10 to 15 minutes to look over your notes and any material that you were given.

Are you sure?第二部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)Passage 1Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. 很多在伦敦工作的人,宁愿住在郊区,然后每天坐火车,汽车或者八十去上班或者上学,尽管这样的话,他们得早上很早起来,晚上很晚到家One advantage of living outsideLondonis that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat inLondonwithout a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. 住在伦敦郊外的一个好处就是那儿的房子要便宜一些.在伦敦,就算是一层没有花园小平房也要很多钱去租.用这么多的钱,人门可以在郊区租到一所拥有自己的花园的房子.Then, in the country one can really________the noise and hurry of busy working life. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of nature. 住在郊外,人们可以真正远离那些吵杂声,远离繁忙的工作生活的那种匆忙.尽管人们必须早点起床,花更多的时间在或者或者巴士上但是他们在晚上和周末可以睡得更好一点.人们还可以在夏天的晚上享受郊外的新鲜干净的空气.如果这个人喜欢花园,他可以在空闲是挖土,种植,浇水和做很多花园里需要做的事.然后,当花和蔬菜长大的时候,他可以和那些分享过大自然奥秘的人一起获得回报Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live outsideLondon. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want:(the rest they are quite prepared to)leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. (287 words)然而,有些人却对乡村的事物不感兴趣.对他们来讲,他们的乐趣在与城镇,有电影,剧院,漂亮的商店,繁华的街道,舞厅还有参观.这些人觉得如果他们不得不住在伦敦郊外,那生活就没意义了.依次偶然的机会去公园散步,每年夏天去海边渡假两个星期,这就是他们所想要的乡村生活.这些预备好的休息就留给那些每天都希望远离伦敦的人B11. Which of the following statements is NOT true?以下哪句说法是不正确的A. People who love nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work inLondonprefer to live in the country.所有在伦敦工作的人都宁愿住在郊外C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live insideLondon.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.C12.

People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ________if they had to live outside London.那些认为只有在城市里才有乐趣的人,会觉得怎么样,如果他们住在伦敦郊区A. their life was meaningless觉得生活毫无意义B. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD. they were not worthy of their happy lifeC15. The underlined phrase “get away from” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________.第三段划线的词组“get away from”指的是?A. deal withB. do away withC. escape from逃脱D. prevent fromPassage 2By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most often for the benefits of others——they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very ideal of heroism is something beyond us——an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and becauseAmericais at peace, our ageis essentially an unheroic one.Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science. Consequently, bereft of cultural heroes, we have latched onto cultural icons-media superstars such as actors, actresses, sports celebrities, television personalities, and people who are simply famous for being famous.按照定义,男英雄和女英雄是有着非凡的勇气,成就,自我牺牲精神,在大多数情况下为他人利益着想的的人.他们是我们衡量别人的参照物.他们被看作是符合我们名民族的思想和民族发展的人,被看作符合那些敬仰他们的人的生活.然而,一些人说我们的时代是一个很难有真正的男英雄和女英雄的时代,在这个时代,理想的英雄主义是在我们之上的.是一个过去的典型产物.一些人主张,因为冷战已经结束,美国也处于和平,我们的时代是本质上是一个非英雄时代.而且,总体的犯罪率在下降,贫困已经被强有利的经济增长缓解了,医药科技上也在持续进步着.因此,我们丧失了文化上的英雄.我们得到了文化上的偶像---超级的媒体明星比如男演员,女演员,体育名人,电视名人,还有那些因为著名而著名的人.Cultural icons are harder to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity(明星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That's hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death——such as Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. (258 words)文化偶像很难来定义,但是我们看到他们的时候我们会认出他们.他们是那些可以走在明星之前的人,他们是那些可以变为传奇的人,他们是那些可以变成神话的人.但是是什么使这些人物变成了名人?这很难回答.从一方面说,他们的生活有故事性.比如说,漂亮的黛安娜王妃,她19岁就嫁给了王子,然后又放弃了婚姻和王位,然后在她发现真爱的时候却死了.好的外表固然有帮助.难以定义的美丽,和媒体也是有帮助的.但是这样的偶像都逃不过悲剧收场.像马丁路德金,约翰肯尼迪,黛安娜王妃.C16. The passage mainly deals with ___________.这篇文章主要关于什么A. life and deathB. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and icons英雄和偶像D. icons and celebritiesD17. Heroes and heroines are usually__________.男英雄和女英雄通常A. courageous有勇气B. good examples to follow给别人树立榜样C. self-sacrificing自我牺牲D. all of the above以上都是D18. Which of thefollowing statements is wrong?下列哪句陈述是错的A. Poverty inAmericahas been eased with the economic growth.B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. One’s look can contribute to being famous.D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.男英雄和女英雄只出现在战争年代C19. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love __________.美丽的黛安娜王妃在什么时候发现她的真爱的A. when she was 19B. when she became a princessC. just before her death正在她死之前D. after she gave birth to a princeB20. What is more likely to set an icon’s status?什么更像是偶像的状况A. Good looks.B. Tragic and early death.悲剧和早逝C. Personal attraction.D. The quality of one’s story.Passage 3Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds:________Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?对与大多数人来讲,害羞是造成不开心的原因.害羞的人很焦虑和怕难为情.也就是说,他们过分的注重自己的外表和行为.不安的想法一直在他们的脑海里出现:我给别人的印象怎么样呢?他们喜欢我吗?我的话听起来愚蠢吗?我是不是穿了不吸引人的衣服?
单选(2分)1 On average, Americans spend just over 32 hours a week listening to music in 2017, up 5.5 hours over last year. How is this possible? Technology. At home, at work and traveling in between, people are consuming more music than ever before, from more devices.2 New technology and the latest gadgets allow listeners to seamlessly engage with music anywhere, anytime. Smartphones, laptops and tablets are among top devices for music engagement at home, and radio still dominates in-car listening, but new technology is becoming more and more relevant.3 Music listeners use an average of 3.4 devices in a typical week to engage with music (teens and Millennials average 3.8). Those who currently pay for streaming services use an average of 4.8, while weekly AM/FM radio streamers use an average of 5.5.4 While smartphones, laptops and television are still the most popular ways we listen to music, newer tech is becoming more mainstream, further personalizing at-home and in-car music experiences. Consumers are now incorporating voice-controlled devices and high-end specialized headphones into their weekly listening habits.5 U.S. music listeners value both quantity and quality, with 30% saying they’re willing to pay more for top-quality music technology. That number climbs to 40% among Millennials.According to this passage, which of the following is the best title for this short passage?A. Devices Used for Music Listening.B. Technology Fuels Music Listening.C. New Tech Becomes the Mainstream for Music Listeners.D. New Tech And Music Listening.
30.根据以下材料,回答21-25题People often complain that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet, from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench, because plastics are everywhere and don't break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and frizzle. They "weep" out additives. They melt into sludge. All of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects. The variety of plastic objects at risk is dizzying: early radios, avant-garde sculptures, celluloid animation stills from Disney films, the first artificial heart.Certain artifacts are especially vulnerable because some pioneers in plastic art didn't always know how to mix ingredients properly, says Thea van Oosten, a polymer chemist who, until retiring a few years ago, worked for decades at the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands. "It's like baking a cake: If you don't have exact amounts, it goes wrong," she says. "The object you make is already a time bomb."And sometimes, it's not the artist's fault. In the 1960s, the Italian artist Picro Gilardi began to create hundreds of bright, colorful foam pieces. Those pieces included small beds of roses and other items as well as a few dozen "nature carpets" - large rectangles decorated with foam pumpkins, cabbages, and watermelons. He wanted viewers to walk around on the carpets - which meant they had to be durable.Unfortunately, the polyurethane foam he used is inherently unstable. It's especially vulnerable to light damage, and by the mid-1990s, Gilardi's pumpkins, roses, and other figures were splitting and crumbling. Museums locked some of them away in the dark. So van Oosten and her colleagues worked to preserve Gilardi's sculptures. They infused some with stabilizing and consolidating chemicals. Van Oosten calls those chemicals "sunscreens" because their goal was to prevent further light damage and rebuild worn polymer fibers. She is proud that several sculptures have even gone on display again, albeit sometimes beneath protective cases.Despite success stories like van Oosten's, preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to deteriorate. Worse, biodegradable plastics designed to disintegrate, are increasingly common. And more is at stake here than individual objects. Joana Lia Ferreira, an assistant professor of conservation and restoration at the NOVA School of Science and Technology, notes that archaeologists first defined the great material ages of human history - Stone Age, Iron Age, and so on - after examining artifacts in museums. We now live in an age of plastic, she says, "and what we decide to collect today, what we decide to preserve ... will have a strong impact on how in the future we'll be seen.Museums stopped exhibiting some of Gilardi’s artworks to____. ? A.B. A. keep them from hurting visitors.? C.D. B. duplicate them for future display.? E.F. C. have their ingredients analyzed.? G.H. D. prevent them from further damage

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
