Charming HomeBWeve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us. We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy. Over the years, there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones, portable desks to ones that change into shelves.However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk. The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow.You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule. If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning, but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call, the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course, the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk.When switching positions, the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up. If youre not ready to switch positions at that time, you can tap the touch screen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer.The built-in touch screen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories youve burned. You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand. The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements.All of that smart tech doesnt come cheap though. The M1 desk, which is the everyday model, runs a steep $2,990, while the more executive model with added features, the F1, goes for$4,190.While expensive, its worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks. Much like a good mattress(床垫), a good desk that works with you is worth the investment. Hopefully in a few years these smart, integrated desks will be more common and less expensive.15. The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to_.A. help users with their work B. increase users work efficiencyC. get users to exercise while working D. remind users of their working schedule16. Which is the feature of the touch screen of the desk?A. It can tell users when to change positions. B. It can track users changes of positions.C. It can keep users in a fixed position. D. It can detect users health condition.17. Which of the following can best describe the desk?A. Productive but challenging. B. Convenient but unaffordable.C. Complex and impractical. D. Multi-functional and intelligent.18. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A. To spend money on such a desk is rewarding.B. We should get such a desk as soon as possible.C. It wont be long before the desk is widely used.D. Desks play a very important role in our daily life.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。Some students prefer to learn by themselves. They think they can learn better in this way because they have more freedom, pressure and independence. There is some truth in their way. 19 It is better to have a teacher, especially when they learn something more difficult. First, a teacher can act as a guide to lead you to success. When you learn, you need help and advice. A teacher will give you a hand when you face difficulties. 20 What is more, a teacher puts real pressure on you. If you study by yourself, you must be strong-minded enough to keep on. 21 But under the guidance of a teacher, you will feel there is always someone to watch you. The teacher may give you homework to do. You must complete the homework, or you will not pass the course.Last but not least, studying with a teacher will help you receive the benefit of the teachers knowledge. 22 They teach students how to learn and how to obtain information. They guide all of you in class to discuss the material and provide extra material to broaden the scope of the topic. 23 I choose to learn in a big family-my school. Without a teacher, I would feel there would be no fun and no pressure. I could not learn well in such dull and depressing circumstances.A. Besides, teachers are connected with our life.B. Teachers can help you solve all of your problems.C. In short, I prefer to go to class studying with a teacher.D. Without a guide, you would be searching in darkness.E. And you may become inactive for lack of a strong will.F. But they fail to see the advantages of learning with a teacher.G. In class, teachers do more than just going over the material in the text.三 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to _24_ our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or _25_. Its our decision: from which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in _26_ or down in desperation? I believe in the upward look. I choose to _27_ the positive and skip right over the negative.An optimistic attitude is not a luxury(奢侈品); its a(n)_28_. The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. _29_, negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations _30_ themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n)_31_ question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You dont look well,” he replied. This _32_ me completely by surprise. A little _33_ confidently, I told him that I had _34_ felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little _35_. About a block away, I _36_ over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I _37_ some rare disease?On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling _38_ again, I figured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful_39_, and the light reflecting _40_ the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I wondered how many other folks had _41_ the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total _42_ change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single_43_ observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.The only thing more powerful than negativism is a word of optimism and hope. When a whole culture adopts an upward look, incredible things can be accomplished.24. A. shapeB. decideC. preview D. transform 25. A. forgiveB. curseC. praise D. regret 26.

I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to all, pets make so much noise that they troubled residents a lot. Whats more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention. Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.Yours Truly， Wang Lin六根据中文提示和首字母用正确的单词形式填空。（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分）1.
