第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） Positive thinking is a significant element of happiness. In order to become a positive thinker, determination and consistency are important. The first thing to know about positive thinking is that everyone can do it. With certain cognitive (认知的) and behavioral changes, we can all become positive thinkers. Another important factor is that being a positive thinker does not mean you become numb to anything that is not working properly in your life or is negative - it just means that you approach life and face challenges with a healthier outlook.
Instead of selectively attending to negative events, focus on the positive ones. Then pay attention to the delayed consequences of your behavior rather than the immediate ones. For example, if a job is not going like you want, focus on the fact that you have a job and how you can take your time to make the situation better.
Challenge any internal attributions and see if you compare your behavior to standards that are excessively rigid and perfectionistic. If so, change these and be reasonable with your comparisons. For example, if you constantly compare your weaknesses with other people's strengths, then switch this and compare yourself with those who are doing poorer than you as well. Overall, people who focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses but at the same time are aware of their weaknesses have a healthier self-evaluation result.
When faced with too much fear about a situation, imagine the worst case and visualize a solution for it, then let go of fear. This way, you will be prepared for anything and your fear will not block you from being open and creative to different solutions. For example, if you are constantly worried about losing your job up to a point where it is creating a lot of anxiety and fear and is effecting your performance and your happiness negatively, then think of losing your job, visualize how you will handle it, find solutions in your mind and then let go of the thought and the fear attached to it.
So positive thinkers are better problem solvers and have better interactions. In addition to that, people who are positive thinkers are happier and more satisfied with their life.
1、Why is positive thinking a significant element of happiness?
A．It means that one is blind to the troubles and difficulties that exist.
B．It means that one constantly compares everything with other people's.
C．It means that one is strong in mind and has nothing to be afraid of.
D．It means that one approaches life and faces challenges more healthily.
2、What does the text suggest about the job you don't like?
A．Quitting it and finding a better one.
B．Keeping and trying to make it better.
C．Being negative and numb to it.
D．Challenging yourself with a new outlook.
3、What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?
A．Be prepared for the worst: and let go of fear.
B．Being constantly worried will lose your job.
C．Fear will prevent you being open and creative.
D．There is nothing to fear if well prepared.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．How to focus on the positive events
B．How to be a positive thinker
C．What to do when faced with fear
D．What to know of self-evaluation
22．（8分） For some people, walking or running outdoors is a great way to work out. What may not be so pleasant is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging!
“Plogging” began in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka,” which means to pick up, and the word Jogging, which means to run slowly. A Swedish man named Erik, started the movement in 2016. On the World Environment Day website, Erik says that he moved to Stockholm from a small community in northern Sweden each day he would ride his bike to work. Concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work, he took matters into his own hands.
Plogging, by that term, may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington, D．C．He often picks up trash while running outside. He even has turned it into a game; he will try to pick up the trash without stopping. “I didn’t know it was a thing really. This is just my personal ethics (道德标准), where I go for a run and if I happen to see a piece of garbage lying around and it’s within reach — it is a kind of a little test for me to see if I can grab it and throw it in a near trash can without stopping. And that way, I think, it gives me a little exercise and a little focus for my run. And it helps clean up the neighborhood,” he announced.
Today, logging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Cities around the world now hold logging events, “I would just hope people would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground. We have containers... seems on every block. So, it’s easy to put your garbage in the trash cans. I just think people should think about it a little bit more. I do hope one day there will not be a need for plogging.” said an interviewee.
1、Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “took matters into his own hands”?
A．called on people to join him. B．appealed to people to go green.
C．began to pick up the trash. D．had the collected trash recycled.
2、Like Jeff Horowitz, logging to many people has become a(an) ________ act.
A．automatic B．irresistible C．arbitrary D．temporary
3、What is the idea that Logging events are meant to promote?
A．Jogging is truly beneficial. B．Trash cans should be within reach.
C．Littering is not acceptable. D．Communities should be kept clean.
4、What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A．New Exercise Enjoys unbelievable popularity
B．New Exercise Trend Also Helps Environment
C．Plogging — a Fashionable Way to clear waste
D．Plogging — an Exercise Originating in Sweden
23．（8分）Are you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.
Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem — addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.
Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.
A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.
Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you can’t see clocks displaying the time because they don’t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there. What’s more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you don’t have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.
Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.
1、Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?
A．Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use.
B．Those who just walk around the shopping malls.
C．Those who are occupied in too much shopping.
D．Those who feel sorry for their shopping.
2、According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?
A．The awareness of how market forces work.
B．The desire for status, power, beauty or success.
C．Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in people’s life.
D．Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.
3、What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?
A．Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.
B．Applying for a credit card before we go shopping.
C．Making the shopping time as short as possible.
D．Making a shopping list before we go shopping.
4、The author writes this passage to _______.
A．inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppers
B．scold the problem shoppers
C．provide solutions to the problem shopping
D．tell a shopping story
24．（8分）Among the international students in Canada who are struggling to find a job there after graduation, some of them eventually make it with relative ease. They're the ones who've already built up much internship (实习) experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a co­operative program.
Co­op programs, a feature (特色) of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience. During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.
Co­op programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University. These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors. Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the co­op program.“It's easy to understand，” said a senior education counselor. He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are well­known companies or local government organizations. Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as C$ 30,000 to C$ 40,000 a year.
Students can choose to work during vacations or term times freely. The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months for graduate students.“The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immigration，” added the counselor.“That's because the policies of many provinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.”
1、What's the main characteristic of co­op programs?
A．They offer a variety of jobs in different fields.
B．They make academic credits easier to gain.
C．Employers work with students on their studies.
D．Students get work experience while at university.
2、What does the example of foreign applicants indicate?
A．Co­op programs are becoming more popular.
B．The average salary for interns will increase.
C．Co­op programs are open to all majors.
D．Companies welcome foreign students.
