2．（8分）In a win for literary fiction amid declining sales， Sally Rooney's novel Normal People has been named Waterstones book of the year in 2018．
Rooney's second novel， which follows two young people falling in love in Ireland， has sold 41，000copies in hardback in the UK since it was released in August﹣five times the hardback sales of her 2017debut， Conversations With Friends． At 27， Rooney is now the youngest winner of the award， which is given by the UK's biggest bookshop chain， Waterstones．
Normal People received almost universal applause upon its release． Longlisted for the Man Booker prize， the book won novel of the year at the An Post Irish book awards in November of2018and has also been shortlisted for the Costa novel of the year， announced in January of 2019．

3．（8分）In 201l， Nancy Ballard went for a routine checkup that turned into something extraordinary． In fact， she was carrying a painting of a plant she'd done when she arrived at her doctor's San Francisco office． "It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy （化疗） rooms，" the nurse said． Ballard asked to see one．
She was shocked by what she found． The walls were dull and bare， and the paint was chipping（剥落）． It was a depressing room for a depressing routine ﹣ patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours， often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls． Ballard didn't have cancer herself， but she could sympathize with the patients． "I couldn't imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that，" she says． As it happens， Ballard's physician， Stephen Hufford， was ill with cancer himself， so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to﹣do list． So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place．
She started by e﹣mailing 20local designers． "I wrote， 'You don't know me． But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms，" she remembers． She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr． Hufford's rooms each．
As it happened， six of them wrote back almost immediately． Six rooms got new paint， light fixtures， artwork， and furniture． Dr． Hufford was delighted． "All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it，" he said． He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients．
Ballard was so encouraged by the patients' reactions that she created a nonprofit， Rooms That Rock 4Chemo， to raise money and decorate more spaces． Since then， she has worked on 20 projects， including one in Pennsylvania． "We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon cutting， and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer，" says Ballard． "When she saw what we'd done， she said， 'I'm gonna beat it this time． I thought I wasn't going to， but now I know I'm gonna beat it"

（1）What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms？　 　
A． Her sympathy for cancer patients．
B． Her passion for room decoration．
C． The good relationship with Hufford．
D． The request of a nurse in San Francisco．
（2）What outcome does Ballard's effort bring about？　 　
A． More hospitals will be built，
B． Hufford cured more patients．
C． The cancer patients were feeling better．
D． Hufford's chemotherapy rooms got good fame．
（3）Which words best describe Nancy Ballard？

4．（8分）Plants are boring． They just sit there photosynthesizing （光合作用） while animals have all the fun． Right？ Not so much． A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants． The ant and plant co﹣evolution （协同进化） started with ants feeding on plants and plants evolving ant﹣friendly features．
Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use． Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mammalѕ． Тhеѕе іncludе hollow thorns that antѕ will live іnѕіdе， or еxtra nеctar （琼浆） оn lеavеѕ or stems for the ants to eat． Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run， but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant． Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around， by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds． The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away， eat the food packet， and leave the seed ﹣ often in a nutrient﹣rich area where it'll grow better， and since it's farther away from its parent， they won't have to compete for resources．
But scientists weren't sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started． If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors， then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot． It was a chicken﹣and﹣egg question， whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants， or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants．
The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs， and it's not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot． However， it is a question of little significance． Scientists say their study maters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved．

（1）Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to　 　．
A． reward the ants
B． make a fool of ants
C． provide nutrition for the seeds
D． get the seeds moved around
（2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us？　 　
A． How plants and ants interact．
B． What ants do to protect plants．
C． How plants and ants survive attacks．
D． Why plants and ants need co﹣evolution．
（3）Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants？　 　
A． Ants depended more upon plants．
B． It caused a race for better evolution．
C． How it got started was uncertain．
D． It was of little value for future studies．
（4）What's the author's purpose of writing the passage？　 　
A To introduce a science research method．
B． To inform readers of a latest research finding
C． To arouse readers' interest in science research．
D． To criticize people's traditional views about plants．

5．（10分）Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways， from clothing to posture， and from talking style to body language． Below are several tips for you to begin with：
●Physical appearance matters． We're visual creatures after all．
Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are．（1）　 　 It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly． If it is a business setting， be aware of the dress rule or culture．（2）　 　 A thumbs﹣up here does not mean the same elsewhere． So do the research! Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole．
●（3）　 　
A fake （假的） smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave a good impression． It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile．（4）　 　 Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression．
●Look into people's eyes until you see the colors of their iris （虹膜）．
Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with． Consequently， they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction．（5）　 　Well， try to identify the color of the others' irises． Get it？ That makes a good eye contact example．
Are these the impression we want to leave？ Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!

A． What makes a quality eye contact？
B． How does eye contact affect interaction？
C． The requirement varies from culture to culture．
D． Then at least try not to look discouraging and angry!
E． Don't fake a smile， or people will doubt your sincerity．
F． Always smile while interacting with others， especially with a new friend．
G． Besides， it is a way to show respect by choosing appropriate clothes for different settings．
