Download workout apps B One day in the gym, I asked a coach, “Whats the difference between the best athletes and everyone else?” He briefly mentioned the things that you might expect: genetics, luck, talent. But then he added something I wasnt expecting. “At some point,” he said, “it comes down to who can handle the boredom of training every day and doing the same practice over and over again.” Most of the time people talk about getting motivated to work on their goals. As a result, I think many people get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that successful people never lack motivation that they seem to be missing. But thats exactly the opposite of what this coach was saying. When I was an athlete, I loved going to practice the week after a big win. Who wouldnt? Your coach is happy, your teammates are excited, and you feel like you can beat anyone. As an entrepreneur, I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well. Getting results has a way of pushing you forward. But what about when youre bored? What about when the work isnt easy? What about when it feels like nobody is paying attention or youre not getting the results you want? Its the ability to work when work isnt easy that makes the difference. If you look at the people who are consistently achieving their goals, you start to realize that its not the events or the results that make them different. Its their commitment to the process. They fall in love with the daily practice. So, fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.24. What was the authors attitude towards the coachs added answer?A. He doubted it. B. He argued against it.C. He was surprised at it. D. He was uninterested in it.25. The coach supposes successful people _.A. can avoid negative emotions.B. can keep themselves inspiredC. have a real enthusiasm for their work.D. will find ways to work through boredom.26. The author mentions his own experience to show _.A. the way of becoming successful.B. the importance of getting results.C. the willingness to work hard when you feel motivated.D. the difficulty in keeping working when you are bored.27. The text inspires people to _.A. value motivation. B. live with repetition.C. set themselves goals.D. develop a good habit. C Sixth formers(英国高中毕业生)are to be quizzed on whether they can cook five hot meals and how often they should change their sheets, as part of a government-backed scheme（计划）to prepare them for university. Ministers are urging schools to put on special workshops for students aged 1618 to ensure they feel comfortable with the prospect of leaving home. The course, designed by the university accommodation provider Unite Students, will teach pupils how to manage their finances and how to liveindependently. According to the course materials, teachers should ask students questions which may not have occurred to them, such as “what is the price of a liter of milk?” and “list 5 hot meals you can cook from scratch” and “how often will you wash your sheets once you move out of home?” Damian Hinds, the Education Secretary, said, “We are all very conscious that moving away from home and going to university is one of the most exciting things that happens in your life but it can also be very daunting（使人气馁的）.” Mr. Hinds said that when he got to university, he discovered he had “relied on my mum more than I realized I did”, adding, “I wish I could have cooked better.” Earlier this year, ministers set up a new task force called the Education Transitions Network, which includes representatives from Universities UK, UCAS and the National Union of Students. It is part of a drive by the Department for Education to address the rise in students who report mental health issues during their time at university. Data released earlier this year showed that the number of students declaring mental health problems on arrival at university hassurged. Figures obtained showed a 73 percent rise between 20142015 and 20172018 in students stating that they had a condition such as depression or anxiety before starting their courses.28. What can we learn about the course?A. It encourages students to leave home.B. It is designed by the university students.C. It helps students get ready for their college life.D. It allows teachers to ask students familiar questions.29. Why does the author mention Damian in Paragraph 4?A. To show the joy of campus life.B. To list the contents of the course.C. To prove the necessity of the course.D. To present the importance of college life.30. Which of the following best explains “surged” underlined in the last paragraph? A. Increased. B. Dropped. C. Doubled. D. Remained.31. Where does this text probably come from?A. A campus lecture. B. A news report.C. An admission requirement. D.A travel brochure. D Demand for the Chinese tech companys devices(设备)is red hot even though the countrys overall market for smart phones is getting smaller. Huaweis China sales rocketed more than 20% in the final quarter of 2018，and experts say thats partly due to the US governments global campaign against the company. “The latest tension between the US and China raised the patriotism(爱国主义)in Chinese consumers,” said Jusy Hong，an analyst at research firm IHS Markit. He pointed out that some Chinese companies encouraged employees to buy Huawei phones late last year. The moves were a gesture of support after the firms chief financial officer was arrested in Canada in early December at the request of the United States. Huaweis booming sales show how major parts of its business continue to increase even as the United States tries to persuade other countries to shut Huawei products out of 5G wireless networks and pursues(追究)criminal charges against it. The company expects to overtake Samsung as the worlds biggest smart phone maker by next year. Huawei sold 30 million phones in China in the last three months of 2018，nearly three times as many as Apple(AAPL)，according to data published this week by research firms Canalys and IDC. Apples sales plunged almost 20%. Huaweis success in China, the worlds largest smart phone market is more than about geopolitics(地缘政治). Chinese consumers love its flagship, high-end phones because they have great cameras, cutting edge phones，Huawei is able to target a bigger market. It also benefited from the troubles this year at ZTE(ZTCOF)，a rival Chinese smart phone and telecom- munications equipment maker. ZTE was banned by the US government from buying vital American parts for months last year.32. Why did Huaweis China sales increase greatly according to the article?A. Because the companys devices are always popular worldwide.B. Because Chinese consumers patriotism was aroused.C. Because the government encourages people to buy Huawei devices.D. Because the countrys overall market for smart phones is getting bigger.33. What can we conclude from the third paragraph?A. Huaweis chief financial officer was arrested in Canada due to the US s request.B. All Chinese companies showed their support to Huawei with their purchase.C. Jusy Hong thought the United States arrested Huaweis chief financial officer.D. Jusy Hong thought the arrest of Huaweis chief financial officer is unfair.34. How do you understand the underlined word in the fifth paragraph?A. increased greatly by. B. reduced greatly to. C. dropped greatly by. D. remained steady.35. Why is Huaweis success in China more than about geopolitics?A. Because Huawei has the largest smart phone market in the world.B. Because Huaweis success is only limited within China mainland.C. Because Huawei has the ability to target a bigger market in the world.D. Because Chinese consumers are quite satisfied with Huawei smartphones.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。Have you ever been bored and decided to check social media, only to find out that your best friend is at Disneyland, that one of your classmates is eating delicious pizza at your favorite pizza store, and that one of your soccer teammates is climbing the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Have you ever had that feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoying life more than you are? Oh, man! You re missing out! 36 Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FoMO. 37 Its so easy today to see what your friends are doing from the social media. Unluckily，we only have so much time in the day and only so much money to spend on food or entertainment. It would be impossible for us to enjoy all the name activities we see others take part in on social media. Rather than realizing this basic truth，though，we usually let FoMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others on social media. 38 Why? We know all the sides of our livesboth good and bad. But all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share. 39 FoMO makes us check social media more frequently，leading to addiction and a negative cycle that can be hard to break. Researchers have found that social media and FoMO can cause serious negative re-suits, including feeling of depression，loneliness and boredom. 40 Researchers advise that we stop looking to social media for happiness. Instead, we should focus our attention on our real lives，including the people around us and all the things were grateful for.A. Have you ever experienced FoMO?B. At least thats what you might think.C. This certainly leaves us feeling dissatisfied.D. So how do we break the cycle and avoid FoMO?E. Over 75% of young people report feeling FoMO from time to time.F. As famous Theodore Roosevelt said，“Comparison is the thief of joy.G. If you let FoMO control you，the only thing you11 really be missing out on is your own life.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)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。At the far end of Islington Road in Newton, Massachusetts, liv
