Yet when it dawned on me just how much time I was spending socializing, I realized I may be taking it to an extreme. I calculated that, on average, I was spending 22 hours or more each week on social activities. So, to see what would happen to my work output, health and wellbeing, I decided to try and cut out my social life entirely.I knew, at times, I filled my schedule simply out of fear of missing out (FOMO), but also as a way to shift focus away from my work. For one month, I declined all in-person activities with friends: going out for drinks; dinners; parties and non-work related events, to see if it would make me more productive, improve my focus and career prospects.On day one of the month-long experiment, I had to fight some anxiety over missing out. But as the days passed, I started to relax. I only had one option to consider for Saturday nightto stay homeand this limitation left me more satisfied in my decision. I felt more content working, reading or watching TV.While I found more time to work, I also noticed a change in my overall health. I found myself cooking more at home, doing daily exercise, getting to bed earlier each night, reading, and enjoying moments of rest and boredom throughout the day.Having no social life left me more free time than Id imagine. Such idle moments are vital for creativity, and mind wandering has been linked to creative problem solving. During the experiment I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.Of course socialising is an important way to build work contacts. While one month of no social life did not impact my relationship with existing clients, if I had continued, it may harm my ability to build new ones.24. What did the author realize about his socializing?A. It was difficult for him to contact people.B. Its a necessary part of his life and work.C. He had spent too much time in socializing.D.

The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”28. The study mainly shows that _A. head circumference is certainly connected to IQ.B. babies heads grow quickly during the first month.C. full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies. (早产儿)D. the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.【答案】D【解析】 细节理解题。根据首段The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.得知，实验表明新生儿第一个月内体重增加越多，越聪明。故选D。29. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?A. By asking questions.B. By making parison.C. By having a discussion.D. By referring to documents.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight.得知，研究人员通过对比研究结果得出结论。故选B。30. According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that _A. a kids verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.B. this study helps parents find feeding problems.C. quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ.D. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6.得知，Lisa Smithers博士认为新生儿体重增加越多，对孩子语言发展越有利。故选C。31.

There are ups and downs and unexpected turns. Abuse or neglect by adult can make the ride even rougher. But being bullied(欺凌) by another child can leave especially lasting scars. Thats the finding of a new study.Bullied kids face a high risk of mental health problems as teens and as young adults. Indeed bullied kids might be worse off than those who had suffered physical abuse or neglect, the study found.Dieter Wolke works at the University of Warwick in England. Until recently, most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment, this psychologist says. Maltreatment includes physical or emotional abuse, neglect or other behaviors that can harm a child.Wolkes team wanted to better understand how bullyings long-term effects pare to those due to maltreatment. They focused on 4,026 children in the United Kingdom and 1,420 more in the United States. Information about bullying and maltreatment was collected for American children to age 13.They collected the same information for British youth up to age 16. The researchers also gathered data on each individuals mental health as a young adult.Among the Americans, 36 percent of bullied kids had mental problems later. Those problems included anxiety, which is a state of excessive worry. They also included depression. That is a feeling of hopelessness that can last a long time. Among kids who had been maltreated by adults, 17 percent later suffered mental health problems. That was less than half the rate seen in people who had been bullied as school kids.In the U. K. group, the difference was less spectacular. Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids reported mental health problems later, pared with about 17 percent who had been maltreated.But however you look at it, the finding are disturbing, Wolke says. They show that bullied children have similar or worse mental health problems later in life. And thats why he says schools, health services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.32. According to the passage, which of the statements is TRUE?A. Kids treated cruelly recover soon after they grow up.B. All bullied kids have mental health problems.C. Most kids with maltreatment experience tend to bee violent adults.D. Most studies didnt pay much attention to bullying until recently.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Until recently, most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment”可知，到目前，大多数针对虐待而不是欺凌。故选D。33. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By providing research results. B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data. D. By giving examples.【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据文中第三段和第四段介绍，研究人员对一些儿童进行研究得出结果，可知作者是通过研究结果支持本文的主题。故选A。34. The underlined word “spectacular” in paragraph 6 could be best replaced by _.A. slight B. dramaticC. specific D. similar【答案】B【解析】词义猜测题。根据上一段中介绍的研究结果与本段中介绍的研究相比差距要大，所以推知此处表示差距不算太明显。Spectacular 译为“壮观的，惊人的”。故选B。35. According to the text, what does Wolke suggest doing?A. Taking good care of children. B. Joining hands to stop bullying.C. Keeping psychologically healthy. D. paring different types of abuse.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And thats why he says schools, health services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.”可知，Wolke建议携手制止欺凌。故选B。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。 Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy?Psychologists (心理学家）have long said that connecting with others is an important part of happiness, but just how much conversation we require is under examination. In one study， researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related with happiness._36_. Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isnt merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers一something they typically avoided._37_. None of the chatters reported being rejected.Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at， made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (服务员）reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction (交易）._38_One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached._39_.In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (透露）.But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges. _40_. A. The same is true of gallery goers.B. They found that small talk is related with happinessC. But dont play down small talk just yet.D. Of course, some people are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger. E. A “curious mindset”，the author concluded, can lead to “positive social interactions”.F. Making small talk is an important skill for all the social situations. G. Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.【答案】36. C 37. G 38. A 39. D 40. E【解析】36. 根据上句：研究者表明闲聊仅仅构成了幸福谈话的10%。再根据空格下句：科学家相信，闲聊可以促进联系。关键词only和promote表明此空应该是一个表示转折的内容，由此C项But dont play down small talk just yet.但是仍然不要减少闲聊。故选C。37. 根据空格下句：没有一个聊天的人表示自己碰了钉子。可知上句的意思是：被告知要与别人聊天的人表示旅途更愉快。故选G。38. 根据上文：闲聊还能帮助我们感到与周边环境有关联。相对于买完东西就走的顾客，对星巴克的服务生微笑，与之有目光接触以及简单聊上几句的人表示自己更有归属感。再根据空格下句：一个报告发现当志愿者打破美术馆的寂静与艺术爱好者聊天时，参观者会比没被搭讪的人更快乐，更有与展览相关联的感觉。根据上下句可知，此空的意思是：对美术爱好者来说这同样是真的。它起承上启下的作用，故答案为A。39. 根据下句：在一项研究中，被研究人员评定为“缺少好奇心”的人很难使交谈自然而然地进行下去，在拿到鼓励披露个人的信息问题时更有望与他人建立亲近感。可知上句的意思应该是：我们当中的一些人比其他人更善于把闲聊变成更有意义的事情。故选D。40.根据上文：但是被认为“有好奇心”的人不需要帮助就能把诸如最喜欢的节日之类的乏味话题转化为亲近交流。可知作者得出结论认为“好奇的心态”可以激发“积极的社会交往”。故选E。第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） 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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On Dec.13, xx, Nubia Wilson turned 16.
