26、   Nearly 50 million Americans spend at least 20% of their time working in office settings. Office workers run the risk of work-related illness and stress. Psychological scientist Casey Lindberg and his co-workers were interested in examining how different types of office environments are related to employees' short-term health outcomes and well-being.

Taking advantage of digital tools, Lindberg equipped 231 employees in a US government agency with activity trackers over 3 days and 2 nights. Participants also downloaded a mood-monitoring app on their smartphones that quizzed them about their moods at different time throughout the day, both at work and at home. The participants come from a variety of positions working in four different office buildings Choosing a wide range of workers and office types was important to the researchers because it meant their findings could widely apply to many types of workers outside of the agency.

The study produced some results that fell in line with previous findings: Those employees who worked mainly on computers moved around during the day less than those who didn't work computer-based jobs. Older workers and those with higher body-mass indices(BMI) were less active than their younger, lower-BMI colleagues.

The researchers also found something they had not expected. People working at long open tables were 20% more active than were cubicle workers, and 32% more active than were people who worked in their own offices. “It is possible that the open nature of a space leads to increased physical activity by encouraging communication and movement when employees are available,” Lindberg explained. Besides, cubicle-and office-bound employees had higher level of stress both at work and at home after work, which could be caused by lower activity levels.

Although employees generally like to have their own offices, employers often prefer to consolidate employees to save space and money. So it seems open offices have a long way to go.

【1】What were the participants asked to do in the experiment?

A．To change the working positions.

B．To test the stress level via phones.

C．To work in different office settings.

D．To record movement track and mood.

【2】Which aspect of companies is likely to be influenced by the research result?

A．Office design.

B．Bonus policy.

C．Working hours.

D．Location choice.

【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Office Workers Suffer Stress and Illness

B．Open Offices Make Employees More Active

C．Employers Change Traditional Working Settings

D．Different Office Buildings Provide Health Benefits

27、Pottery (制陶) may be the oldest artwork of human beings. As far back to more than 8,000 years ago, people began mixing clay (黏土) and water then baking it until it held its shape. People attached the word “pottery” to their discovery. For a more convenient and better life, ancient people used it to create various containers and tools to cook, to store things, and to hold cuisine or water as dishes.

As time passed, the technique became mature. Different kinds of pottery appeared in different times and regions. Yangshao Culture, 5,000-7,000 years ago to today, developed a technique for painted ceramic wares (陶器). Qujialing Culture and Longshan Culture, about 4,000 years ago, were known for their black ceramic wares. During the Shang Dynasty (16th - 11th century BC) bronze containers grew into a status symbol; common people, though, sill used traditional clay ceramic wares. From the Warring States Period through the Han Dynasty, the art and culture of pottery boomed. The Terra Cotta Warrior (兵马俑), discovered in Xi’an, are the finest representatives of artworks of that time.

A representative example of pottery is the tricolor glazed (上过釉的) pottery of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), known as Tangsancai in Chinese. The pottery appeared to be light yellow, reddish brown, or light green but the most popular were yellow, brown and green. The sculpture of figures, animals or daily appliances was amazingly combined with the characteristics of Tang art—graceful and lively. Preferred by many foreigners to the region, such pottery had been transported worldwide.

Another choice pottery that won great reputation for hundreds of years is purple clay pottery. It is well-known for its mild color, concentrated structure, high intensity and fine particles (微粒). As early as the Song Dynasty (960-1279), people found purple-clay teapots to look much more graceful than those of other materials. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, tea developed as a simple and tasteful art. Modem people still take delight in this classic fashion artwork.

A．To add more to farm took.

A．Around 6,000 years ago.

A．It combined pottery with typical Tang art.

C．It adopted the most popular three colors.

D．It was well-received by all foreigners.

【4】The text is mainly written to ________.

A．introduce pottery-related information

28、Maybe you recently lost your job. Maybe you broke up with your girlfriend.Or maybe a driver hit the back of your car and destroyed it.We all probably faced these situations at one time or another. Whether it’s one of the above or something else that got you down and made it difficult to get back up again, there is one quick and easy way to help you feel better. It’s called relativity.

Relativity is a psychological tool that helps people judge their situations from different viewpoints and minimize(最小化)feelings of self-pity. No matter what the negative situation is, it works really well to help someone recover from a hard time.

For example, you find yourself trapped in work assignments, hardly having time to come up for air. Your workload is eating into your personal life and even weekends. You’re unhappy, underpaid, and not getting time to rest. But how does this situation compare to someone that doesn’t have a job, or is homeless or can’t afford his family? All of a sudden, your crazy busy work life doesn’t seem all that bad. All of a sudden, you’re able to feel thankful that you have a job and have money coming in and that you have a roof over your head.

The point of using relativity is to show you that no matter how difficult your current situation is,there’s always someone who has a much worse situation. Relativity helps us understand that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

The best way to recover from a difficult situation is to use relativity to measure the situation. You’ll often find it’s never as bad as you had thought. This will immediately make you feel better and truly thankful for all that you have. After that, it’s time to outline the steps you need to take to get back on the horse. But wherever you find yourself right now, use relativity to make you feel better and help you walk down the path to your final goal.

【1】The text most probably is written for people_____.

A．lacking social skills.

B．not having confidence.

C．not knowing their life goals.

D．faced with depressing moments.

【2】Why does the writer advise people to use relativity?

A．It can improve one’s health.

B．It reduces negative situations.

C．It will help peope ignore trouble.

D．It makes people benefit from thinking differently.

【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 mean?

A．Bad situations usually can’t get any worse.

B．Our situations are not surely worse than others’.

C．The other side of things may bring us a surprise.

D．Unpleasant experiences will become our greatest wealth.

【4】Which of the following would the writer agree with?

A．We should be grateful for our life.

B．Heavy workload destroys people’s life.

C．Clear goals help people succeed easily.

D．People need to face worse situations directly.

29、Nature changes from one season to the next, and soon the winter months roll around. You can adapt your seasonal healthy habits to suit your surroundings. 【1】

Fuel your body with winter vegetables. If you live in a climate with four seasons, only the strong survive when it comes to vegetables. 【2】 Hearty winter vegetables and leafy greens come packed with nutrients. Try cabbage, pumpkin and carrots for a delicious nutritious meal. Or, look for local winter vegetables native to your area at a local farmer’s market.

【3】 Wintertime can mean shorter days and colder temperatures, which can often stay active on the back burner. But sitting around all winter, you’ll miss out on all the amazing health benefits of working out. You might as well try some new outdoor activities, like skiing, snowing, or sledding, to get your heart pumping.

Focus on mental health. Oftentimes, well-being focuses more on the physical side of staying healthy. 【4】 Winter is an especially crucial time to care for your mental health, as limited sunshine and time outside can lead to seasonal mood disorder. Try taking a moment each day to listen to how you feel or scheduling a date with a friend each week, to check-in and open up about your life.

Commit to an act of kindness. By giving back to others, not only can you help someone else, but you’ll also feel better! 【5】 Often during the winter holidays, organizations run seasonal donations, like collecting canned goods, blankets, and clothing. You could look for more hands-on ways to get involved, like adopting a shelter animal or visiting a lonely neighbor. Even just a small act of kindness this winter can go a long way, both for your mental health and the well-being of others.

A．Try something new to stay active.

B．But mental health is just as important.

C．Avoid getting involved in indoor activities.

D．How can they live through the severe winter?

E．Do look for ways to give back to your community.

F．Here are some helpful ways to jump start your winter wellness routine.

31、Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one more word than you need.

New Year’s Resolutions (决心)

It’s January 1, the day when many people around the world announce their New Year’s resolutions. In theory, a new year should be the time when people change their habits. In  【1】, it doesn’t work that way.

There are some advantages to choosing January 1 to start new habits. For one thing, it comes right after several holidays. And for many people, holidays are  【2】with food, often food that isn’t very healthy. After a month or so of lots of eating, people begin to realize that they need to 【3】. It’s no wonder that losing weight is one of the most 【4】resolutions every year!

While many people’s 【5】to change is real, most New Year’s resolutions don’t last all year, or even all month. One survey indicated that the average resolution only lasts three and a half weeks! For many, an honest resolution might be: “I will eat healthy food until I start longing for dessert, and then I’ll go back to eating 【6】.”

One common problem with New Year’s resolutions is that they aren’t specific enough. Maybe you 【7】to eat healthier or be friendlier. But if you don’t have a plan, how will you know if you’ve reached your goal? Generally, resolutions tend to fade (渐弱) out of your  【8】. They’ll

return again the next year when you start 【9】about resolutions again.

Resolutions often 【10】, but don’t be discouraged. If there’s something you want to change about your life, it won’t hurt to try. And if you fail now, don’t worry. Lunar New year is right around the corner!

32、Everyone has an experience they would rather forget. Some are embarrassing, some are moving, and some teach us a lesson. Here is a story of mine.

Last Sunday I went fishing. After setting up my fishing rod with bait, I sat down on the bank of the lake. But two hours later, I didn’t catch any fish. I got very angry and began to pack up my stuff, preparing to go back home.

Just then, I saw an old man sitting near me. To my surprise, his basket was full of fish, so I went over to him, wanting to know why. “Excuse me, but how long have you sat here?” I asked. “About four hours,” he answered. “Four hours?” I couldn’t believe my ears. “Yes. It’s very important to be patient,” the old man said. “Don’t consider fishing a tiring sport. Just enjoy it.” Suddenly, I understood what he said. I must learn to be patient. Then I sat there and waited for fish patiently. I felt a fish touch the bait, but I didn’t move and waited for the right moment to reel it in. At last, I caught it. This made me very happy. In the following six hours, I caught over 10 fish.

On my way home, I thought what had happened on the bank. I gradually realized that the secret of success was patience.
