Parents with small kidsCWhen we think of a generation gap we usually think of conflicting tastes in music, or pastimes. But now the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldnt read the assignments she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying handwriting should be taught in schools.Opponents claim that handwriting has bee out of time in our modern world. Typed words have bee a primary form of munication. Once a practical skill, handwriting is no longer used by the vast majority of Americans. It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for instance, by teaching the technical skills.But even in todays world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and apply it to paper. Many American institutions still require original signatures, for instance, signing for a registered letter and buying a house. And original signatures are much more difficult to forge（伪造）than their digital counterparts. There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind. It activates a different part of the brain, and improves fine moving skills in young children. People also tend to remember what they write by hand more than what they type, and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas. Not only that, studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who dont. Not to mention, handwriting is pleasing, as is evidenced by the fact that no one has ever typed a love letter. And handwriting remains popular as an art form.Yes we live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world that is based on fundamental values.28.What did the teacher find in her class?A. Her students had a big generation gap with her.B. Her handwriting was too terrible to understand.C. Some students could not recognize her handwriting on the blackboard.D. Some students handwriting on the blackboard was too difficult to tell.29.Why do some people agree to teach handwriting in school?A. Handwriting is very easy to remember.B. Handwriting is beneficial to the brain.C. Handwriting can help one buy a house.D. Handwriting is an art form out of time.30.What can we infer from the passage?A. What people write by hand is not easy to fake.B. Lovers often write love letters to each other.C. Handwriting is unnecessary in our modern society.D. Technical skills are more important than handwriting.31.What is the authors attitude towards teaching handwriting in school?A. Opposed. B. Objective.C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive. DOne day the employees of a large pany in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said, “Yesterday the person who has been hindering (阻碍) your growth in this pany passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be.The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered, “Who is this person that was hindering my progress? Well, at least hes no longer here.”One by one the employees got closer to the coffin (棺材) and when they looked inside it, they became speechless. They stood there, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their souls.There was a mirror inside the coffin. Everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said, “There is only one person who can set limits to your growth: it is YOU.”You are the only person who can change your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.Your life does not change when your family changes, when your friends change, when your boss changes, and when your pany changes.Your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.32.The writers purpose in writing the article is to tell us that .A. the harder we work, the more successful we will beeB. our work and life are closely connected with othersC. changing our lives is down to ourselvesD. we will have a better future if people do not hinder our development33.People were speechless when they looked inside the coffin because .A. there was nothing but a mirror insideB. they could see their own souls insideC. their closest colleague lay insideD. what was inside told a great truth34.Who probably wrote the sign on the front door?A.

Overthinkers rethink conversations they had yesterday, second-guess every decision they make, and imagine disastrous outes-all day. Their minds are like a movie where they imagine their car going off the road or they replay distressing events over and over again. 36.Keep the focus on problem-solvingKeeping the focus on your problems isnt helpful-but looking for solutions is. If its something you have some control over, consider how you can prevent the problem or challenge yourself to identify five potential solutions.If its something you have no control over-like a natural disasterthink about the strategies you can use to cope with it. 37.Schedule time for reflectionWorrying about your problems for long periods of time isnt productive, but brief reflection can be helpful. Thinking about how you could do things differently or recognizing potential traps to your plan, could help you perform better in the future.Add 15 minutes of “thinking time” into your daily schedule. During that time let yourself worry, or think about whatever you want. 38.Learning mindfulness skillsIts impossible to rehash（反复推敲）yesterday or worry about tomorrow when youre living in the present. Mindfulness will help you bee more aware of the here and now.39. There are classes, books, apps, courses, and videos available to help you learn mindfulness skills.40.Do this in your brain by changing your activity. Exercise, engage yourself in a conversation on a pletely different subject, or work on a project that draws away your attention. Doing something different will put an end to the negative thoughts.A. Change the channel.B. Change your attitude.C. Focus on the things you can control, like your attitude and effort.D. Just like any other skill, mindfulness takes practice, but over time, it can decrease overthinking.E. Overthinking can bee such a habit that you dont even recognize when youre doing it.F. There are four tips that can help you stop overthinking.G. When your time is up, move onto something else.第3部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空（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，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。 I remember the first day when I saw Sally playing basketball.
