第二部分 阅读理解（满分20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。
A
My friend Smita starts worrying about every little thing on earth. Say if her home Wi-Fi stops working, or say if the heater switch goes wrong, she would call me up anxiously, as if the whole world has fallen apart. Really, there’s nothing worse than not being able to enjoy life because something is stuck in your head that won’t go away.
So what worry actually is all about? The mind likes to anchor itself to the known. Worry is a symptom of the deep-rooted fear you experience when you have to walk into the unknown. You prefer things to be predictable. You fear that any unexpected turn in events would throw your careful planning into chaos. The more energy you give to your fears, the more anxious you become.
In reality, all forms of worry represent an underlying lack of trust. You are unable to trust in the goodness of life. Even though things could turn out in a number of ways, you have a tendency to believe that things are going to turn out negative rather than positive.
Negativity is only hurting you — no one else. It just drains you emotionally and distracts you from the most important things of life. It is sucking away the motivation that you could otherwise apply towards something positive and productive, like feeling gratitude for what you do have in your life. Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive.
Worrying can be helpful when it pushes you to take action and solve a problem. But if you’re preoccupied with “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios (设想), worry becomes a problem. Constant doubts and fears can weaken your emotional energy, send your anxiety levels soaring, and interfere with your daily life. You can train your mind to stay calm and look at life from a more positive perspective.
1、Why does the writer mention Smita at the beginning of the passage?
A．To introduce the topic of the passage.
B．To show the harm of modern technology.
C．To give us an example for us to learn from.
D．To show the good relationship between them.
2、Which of the following will cause worry?
A．Careful planning. B．Increasing energy.
C．Things unpredictable. D．Trust of others.
3、What will happen when you arc full of negativity?
A．You will be thankful.
B．You will count your blessings.
C．You will notice simple pleasures.
D．You will be emotionally drained.
4、What is suggested when you have too much worry?
A．Thinking about many “what ifs”.
B．Training yourself to stay positive.
C．Reducing your emotional energy.
D．Making your anxiety levels higher.

B
How would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Let’s hear a few words of wisdom from the wise. “Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say,” (Gore Vidal); “Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm,” (John Fairchild); “Style is the perfection of a point of view,” (Robert Eberhart); “Style is a simple way of saying complicated things,” (Jean Cocteau); “Style is the dress of thoughts,” (Lord Chesterfield).
So, now you know what style is, you’ll need to buy some clothes But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, second-hand clothes at charity shops. They’re great if you want exclusive labels but don’t want to pay the price. The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are. But don’t worry, Leila Gray can help you here. She’s the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for ￡20---a good deal when you realize it cost more than ￡800 new. “You have to go to the richer areas of a city,” she says. “That’s where all the labels are. It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and there’s a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”
So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style----something that’s really you. That’s what Scottish musician Morus did. “My fashion tip is this,” he says, “Look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer. If you can’t be attractive, aim for ‘interesting’ or ‘original’.” Momus’ unique style could even make him happier, too. As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge themselves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have”.
Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees. “I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them,” he says. “What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and it’s more commercial.” He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta” (Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion. “This really caught my eye,” Aoki adds. These styles may seem wild, but Aoki’s idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.
Maybe it’s time to create your own look. There are many online guides to help you. Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like,” it says, “feel free to copy, but don’t make yourself a clone… mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!
1、What should you first do to choose they style that best suits you?
A．Follow the images of the wise people. B．Go for whatever is fashionable.
C．Simplify complicated expressions. D．Figure out what a true style is.
2、What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Getting clothes of leading brands. B．Buying clothes at rather low prices.
C．Searching for really good bargains. D．Starting a charity shop selling clothes.
3、What is the focus of Shoichi Aoki and his magazine FRUiTS?
A．Commercialization of fashion magazines.
B．Expression of something personal and creative.
C．Designing fashionable wear for men in the street.
D．Promoting Japanese traditional clothing worldwide.
4、What is probably the best title for the passage?
A．How to find the style that suits you B．Where to pick up a bargain
C．What to wear to develop your style D．Whom to model to be popular

Watching one of the flag-raising ceremony in the capital left me a deep impression. On the morning of January 1, 2018，my parents and I go to the Tian’anmen Square. When they got there, a lot of people were already waiting. See the soldiers walking in sight, all of us felt exciting. Pacing in order, and the soldiers came to the stand. Then the mostly exciting moment came. The flag rose little by little with the familiar music, and we sang by it. The flag reached the top the moment the music came to end. Just then, cheers burst out from the crowds, what made me proud of our motherland.
