For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. A professor of public health at UCLA says that pet ownership might provide a new form health care. As far back as the 1790s, the elderly at a senior citizens home in England _21_ (encourage) to spend time with farm animals. This would help patients mental state more than the cruel therapies _22_(use) on the mentally ill at the time. In recent years, scientists have finally begun to find proof _23_ contact with animals can increase a sick persons chance of survival and has shown _24_ (lower) heart rate, calm upset children, and get people to start a conversation.Scientists think that animals companionship is beneficial _25_ animals are accepting and attentive, and they dont criticize or give orders. Animals have the unique ability to be more social. For example, visitors to nursing homes get more social responses from patients when they come with animal companions.Not only do people seem _26_ (anxious) when animals are nearby, but they may also live longer. Studies show that a year _27_ heart surgery, survival rates for heart patients were higher for those with pets in their homes than those without pets. Elder people with pets make fewer trips to doctors than those without animal companions, possibly because animals relieve loneliness. Staying with animals is believed to create a peaceful state of mind, _28_ (result) in a favorable environment for everyone.Research confirms that the findings concerning senior citizens can be applied to restless children. They are more easy-going when there are animals around, with _29_ company they tend to calm down more easily. They involve _30_ in playing with animals and the presence of animals conforms them greatly.21. _ 22. _ 23. _ 24. _ 25. _ 26. _ 27. _ 28. _ 29. _ 30. _Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

InstantlyThe iPhone X, Apples new smartphone, is equipped with facial recognition. _31_ its scanner can unlock the system. It requires no buttons to be pressed, being always ready to read your face. Android users can expect similar _32_ as well.For the millions of people who will soon depend on facial recognition to check their email, send a text or make call, it will be quick, easy and pretty “cool” to use. However, as we grow _33_ to the technology, we cannot become numb to the problems that come with it.Facial recognition is already used everywhere. In China, police use the technology to identify people who jaywalk(乱穿马路). In the United State, more than half of all adults are in facial recognition database that can be used for criminal investigation. Governments, however, are not the only users of facial recognition. Retailers use the technology in their stores to identify _34_ Shoplifters. One social media app in Russia allows strangers to find out who you are just by taking a photo of you.However, different users of facial recognition produce different levels of accuracy. Camera distance, lighting, facial pose all affect the accuracy. Officials at the New York Police Department, for example, have _35_ at least five misidentifications by their facial recognition system. If the iPhones new system is similarly _36_ no one will consider it to be acceptable security for our personal information. _37_ it probably wont be. But for many of the systems elsewhere, mistakes and _38_ of privacy might be unavoidable. As the smartphone of choice for many users, the iPhones _39_ of facial recognition may encourage consumers to accept the technology elsewhere. However, even as we choose to we explore the convenience facial recognition might offer we should also be suspicious of the many ways it cant be used. Facial recognition may well be _40_. Its risks need not be!31. _ 32. _ 33. _ 34. _ 35. _ 36. _ 37. _ 38. _ 39. _ 40. _III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context . Famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to “do what you love”. But mastering a skill, even one that you deeply love, _41_ a huge amount of dull work. Anyone who want to master a skill must run through the cycle of practice, _42_ feedback, modification, and increasing improvement again, again and again. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take pleasure in their gradual improvement. Yet others find this kind of focused, time-intensive work to be _43_ or boring. Why?The difference may turn on the ability to enter into state of “follow,” the feeling of being completely _44_ in what you are doing. Whether you call it being “in the zone,” or something else, a flow state is a special experience. Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the _45_ of flow in the 1970s, it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n) _46_ skill level, and where the individual is able to _47_ their performance to clear, and immediate feedback.Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most _48_ entered into flow states had an “autotelic personality(自带目的性人格)” a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges. They are also _49_ and have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their capacity for “disinterested interest” have a great _50_ over others in developing their innate abilities.Fortunately for those of us who arent _51_ blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be _52_ by environmental factors. _53_, the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states.While there isnt (yet) a pill that can turn boring practice into a thrilling activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some _54_, to be able to nudge(轻推) ourselves toward flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimal _55_, and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty, we may be able to love what were doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing. （ ）41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The adaptation of books to the big screen is nothing new to our society. Books have become well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers. The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress. Most directors and screenwriters know that the majority of people are not willing to sit through a five-hour film.Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story, With most writing courses placing emphasis on literary techniques, it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple: keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories.Although writing a means of expression not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions. Films allow writers to study the bodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting.Lastly, sometimes it takes film to bring about a story idea in the first place.
