Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are ing to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or ing out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly bees very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isnt young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, lets say you know an 83-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “Thats amazing! After all, hes no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Lets say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, shes no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.21. What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?A. The season after winter. B. Being young and healthy.C. A tightly wound metal coil. D. To occur or appear quickly.22. What is the passage mainly about?A、The origin of the word “spring” B. The meaning of the season “spring”.C. Some expressions with the word “spring”. D. Some characteristics of the season “spring”.23. How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”？A. AngryB. SurprisedC. HappyD. Frightened24. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Being young is a great advantage in career development.B. Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.C. Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.D. Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.BAll forms of tobacco - cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco- are dangerous. It doesnt help to substitute products that seem like theyre better for you than regular cigarettes, such as filtered or low-tar cigarettes. The only thing that really helps a person avoid the problems associated with smoking is staying smoke free. This isnt always easy, especially if everyone around you is smoking and offering you cigarettes. It may help to have your reasons for not smoking ready for times you may feel the pressure, such as I just dont like it or I want to stay in shape for soccer (or football, basketball, or other sport). The good news for people who dont smoke or who want to quit is that studies show that the number of teens who smoke has dropped evidently. Today, about 23% of high school students smoke. If you do smoke and want to quit, you have lots of information and support available. Different approaches to quitting work for different people. For some, quitting cold turkey is best. Others find that a slower approach is the way to go. Some people find that it helps to go to a support group especially for teens. These are sometimes sponsored by local hospitals or organizations like the American Cancer Society. The Internet offers a number of good resources to help people quit smoking. When quitting, it can be helpful to realize that the first few days are the hardest. So dont give up. Some people find they have a few setbacks before they manage to quit for good. Staying smoke free will give you a whole lot more of everything - more energy, better performance, better looks, more money in your pocket, and, in the long run, more life to live! 25. What will be the best title of the passage? A. Live a Long Life B. Staying Smoke Free C. The Smoking Problems D. The Good News for Smokers 26. What makes it difficult to keep away from smoking?A. Sports activities B. Finding non reasons C. Cigarettes offered around you D. The pressure from your work27. How can you effectively quit smoking?A. Walking slowly B. Eating cold turkey C. Staying in hospital D. Finding a suitable approach 28. We can conclude that after stopping smoking you will . A. have no cancer B. be more attractive C. run for a long time D. get more opportunities CEveryone feels sad from time to time. But is it just a passing feeling or the medical condition known as depression? Google has set up a short test that can help people recognize whether they are suffering from clinical depression. The test, called PHQ-9, will be offered to people who search for “depression” or “clinical” using Google on a mobile device. The search results will show information on depression with a link to a series of questions, to help figure out if someone has signs of depression.To take the test, you should first search for “depression” in Googles search engine. The results should show an explanation about clinical depression. Below the explanation is a message that reads, “Check if youre clinically depressed.” Click that message to begin taking the test. Google says the test takes five minutes to plete. Touch the “Get Started” button to begin. At the end, you will see a list of numbers from 0 to 27. It will show how likely you are to have signs of clinical depression. The website also shows what to do next, based on the results of the test.PHQ-9 was developed for adults, not children. The test is available on Google search results only on phones and tablets, not other puters. If you search using a puter, you will see information about depression, but not the link to PHQ-9. If you want to search for “depression” with a puter, or do not see the link to the test on your phone or tablet, you can search for “PHQ-9” on Google instead. By taking this test on Google account.

Lets say that you are applying for a job or need to ask a coworker for help. So, you send an email. You really want to get a reply. 36 Yes, they can.The subject line is what people will see first. Subject lines with three to four words are the best for getting a response. 37 So, remember when writing your subject line - less is more. 38 It has been found that a third-grade level works best and gets the most responses. So, use simple words in simple sentences. Dont use plex words when simple ones will work just fine.Keep it short. But not too short! The best length is between 50 and 125 words. Experts say the response rate for emails of this length is above 50 percent. But, do not write all 125 words into one long paragraph. 39 The tone of your email matters very much. The tone is the feeling, or attitude expressed by the words that someone uses in speaking or writing.When writing an email, be positive or negative. 40 For example, if you have to write an email describing a negative experience and you want a response, you need to write it in a negative tone. But try not to be too negative. A. The response rate goes down, they found, with each word you add.B. A good way to get a response is to ask the reader a question.C. The reading level of the language you use in your emails matters.D. Break them up into a couple of short paragraphs to make it easy to read.E. Being neutral - neither positive nor negative - gets you nowhere.F. Can the words you choose increase your chances of getting a response?G. Even the length of your subject line may affect your chances of getting a response.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）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。Jack was working for his future all day.
