November arrived grey and busy, and going into an even more stressful December, I was filled with anxious thoughts. A visit to my fathers grave is often a good chance to cry and when I leave I feel a little more at peace. But this time was different. I drove home and every night for the rest of that week, I cried. On Saturday, I watched a TV program teaching baking, and then I started to learn. By the end of the weekend, I had a table covered with sweet treats. I packaged them up in tins, attached a label to each of them with “winter love” on it, and dropped them off on a few of my neighbors porches. It shocked me how much it lightened my mood, seeing a small package lost on a porch. The thanks I received later from the neighbors made me light up. It felt so good, and it distracted me from my dark thoughts. By January I had developed a routine: on Sunday Id bake cookies and package them up, and on Monday Id deliver them. Every week I added a few different people to my delivery route. Then things started showing up on my doorstep - a homemade cup, a pair of socks with cookies and even a gift certificate from the local bookstore. Every single one melted my heart. But what I really appreciated was how people began to share their own stories of mental health with me. There is no greater honor than to be trusted with anothers life. I was overwhelmed by the love and care of my community. It humbled me that something so simple had created such incredible kindness. I was shifting into a new season of light, while letting go of a season of darkness. It reminded me that there is beauty in being kind and that life is tough, but there is a quiet strength in knowing you are not alone. 21.

BWe all put off things in one way or another: finishing a final paper hours before the deadline, or putting off that trip to the supermarket until the refrigerator shelves are completely empty. Psychologists call that procrastination, which is to delay doing something that you should do, usually because you dont want to do it. In recent years, psychologists around the world have been asking: what else is there behind procrastination? “Procrastination is based on our genetics”, says Sharad Paul, MD, author of The Genetics of Health. If you like to put things off or surf the internet instead of getting work done, you might be able to blame your ancestors. While procrastination seems like a character weakness, it developed for a reason. “The genes progressed down generations because these people were still hidden in caves fearful of animals that fed on meat. They were always saying: My tools are not sharp enough. Id better spend more time perfecting this spear.” says Sharad Paul. “These people survived more because they avoided conflicts, and these genes were handed down to future generations.” While its highly attractive to simply blame your parents, the buck stops with you. Paul says, “People think that genes determine their fate. This is only true if their actions lead in that direction.” “Anything can be changed or improved, including our gene expressions”, says Paul, who likes to refer to the 10,000-hours theory Malcom Gladwell shares in his book The Outliers, suggesting that talent is made with practice and commitment, not a born character. The best thing to overcome procrastination is to get moving. “Start slow and keep building up perseverance levels. There are many different forms of perseverance exercise and many involve leg movements. Pick one that you like. An average of just 30 minutes a day has been shown to be beneficial. Paul says, “If you have the right genes, this could be perhaps a bit faster, but not by much.” Therefore, there is hope for us all. 24. Why does the author use examples in the first paragraph? A. To make readers familiar with themselves. B. To introduce the topic of procrastination. C. To show our bad behaviours of procrastination. D. To explain why we have the habit of procrastination. 25. The underlined sentence in paragraph 4 probably means “ ”. A. Genes from your parents are to blame. B. Your actions make you highly attractive. C. You should take the responsibility for yourself. D. You should stop throwing bucks at your parents. 26. Whats best title of the passage? A. Genes: Weakness or Hope?B. Genes: Prevention or Cure? C. Procrastination: Reason and Solution. D. Procrastination: Example and History. CIn most art museums, the paintings on the wall just look flat, but sometimes visitors come across an image that appears to be three-dimensional. The artist has cleverly used colors, lines, and shading to give the painting some depth, making it more realistic. The artistic technique of creating three-dimensional images of something on a flat surface is called trompe Ioeil. Today, some artists are adapting the idea of trompe Ioeil to make things become invisible, which is called camouflage art. In nature, using camouflage not only allows insects and animals to hide from their natural enemies but also allows them to get close enough to surprise other insects or smaller animals that they want to catch and eat. Artists are not hiding or preparing to attack. Instead, they are using the idea of camouflage to make urban spaces look nicer or to make statements with their art. It is not difficult to find things that we would like to make disappear such as the dull wall of a large industrial building or the poles carrying electricity wires. Artists can make these things more interesting and in some cases less visible. In many urban areas, large buildings have been painted with amazing pictures that trick our eyes. Thus, ordinary brick walls are transformed into interesting works of art. Some artists include camouflage in their work to say something about the modern world we live in. For example, American artist Trina Merry camouflages people so that they disappear in the landscapes she photographs. Her latest series, New York City, blends (融合) women and their environment to create images that closely examine the relationship between people and where they live. “My series shows respect for Big Apple women who feel the need to blend in with everyone else in New York,” Merry says. “I think many women move here hoping to live a city life when the reality is that most women have to change their fancy designer heels on the subway for more practical sneakers.” 27. Which of the following words best describe camouflage art? A. Flat. B. Invisible. C. Dull. D. Disappointing. 28. What is the purpose of using camouflage in nature? A. To make animals look nicer. B. To express peoples artistic concept. C. To surprise smaller animals or insects. D. To protect animals from natural enemies. 29. From the last paragraph, we know that . A. Merry feel the need to fit in with others in the city B. most women wear fancy dresses in their daily life in the city C. women in New York have succeeded in being a part of the city D. New York city can partly mirror peoples life in modern society 30. This article is mainly about . A. a form of art B. the series of paintings C. a famous artist D. the women in New York 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。 University Student Life in North AmericaFor many westerners, going to university is a very exciting time in life. 31 Other students choose to live away home even if they go to a university that is close to the parents house. This is usually the first time that young people live away from their parents, and begin their adult lives. 32 They believe it gives the student an opportunity to face many new experiences without the help of their parents.

In the west, universities have many extra-curricular activities that students can choose from. 35 If they are not your thing, then you can do photography, art, drama, or many other things.
