The ways to find a long lifeD. The travel guide to Finnish National GalleryBEight months after my father died, I saw some letters on top of my mother’s coffee table. They were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting. I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.“Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a hint of a smile.The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their newborn daughter, behind in Toronto, the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words, part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, and thought, “Who is this guy?” My father used endearing terms I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearesr” and “my companion” who was always in his thoughts. In each letter, he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill for me and declared, “You and your mother are my life.”As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various facets.My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard. During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear my father’s youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful (留戀的) tone. I knew she was thinking about what could have been and what had been once upon a time. After she finished reading the letters, I held them in my hands and examined them like they were fossils. Although a man I knew as economical with his thoughts, he had filled the front and back of several pages.These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One day she will read those letters to me, she’s assured me. And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.40. What kind of person did the author think her father was?A. Optimistic.B. Reserved.C. Sensitive.D. Romantic.41. What can we know about the author’s family?A. Her mother was the family’s provider.B. She didn’t get on well with her father.C. Her parents were emigrants to Italy.D. Her parents shared similar personalities.42. What does the underlined word “facets” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?A. Interests.B. Ideas.C. Sides.D. Possibilities.43. How did the author feel when she heard the words in the letters?A. Surprised.B. Awkward.C. Thrilled.D. Heartbroken.44. What did the author find out about her father through the letters?A. He was good at hiding his feelings.BHe regretted not being with his family.C. He was a loving husband and father.D. He was stubborn from the inside out.CYour circle of friends may help you get a better reading on your overall health and wellness rather than just using wearable devices such as a Fitbit, according to researchers.The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, analyzed what the structure of social networks says about the state of health, happiness and stress.“We were interested in the topology(拓撲學(xué)) of the social network—what does my position within my social network predict about my health and well-being?” said Nitesh V. Chawla, a professor at the University of Notre Dame in the US.“What we found was the social network structure provides a significant improvement in predictability of wellness states of an individual over just using the data derived( 獲得)from wearables, like the number of steps or heart rate,” Chawla said.For the study, participants wore a Fitbit to capture health behavior data about walking, sleeping, heart rate and overall activity level. They also completed surveys and self-assessments(自我評估)of their stress, happiness and positivity.Chawla and his team then analyzed the data with a machine-learning model, alongside the connections and characteristics of an individual’s social network.The study showed a strong correlation (相關(guān)性)between social network structures, heart rate, number of steps and level of activity.Social network structure provided significant improvement in predicting one’s health and well-being compared to just looking at health behavior data from the Fitbit alone.For example, when social network structure is combined with the data from wearables, the machine learning model achieved a 65 percent improvement in predicting happiness.The model also achieved a 54 percent improvement in predicting one’s self-assessed health prediction, a 55 percent improvement in predicting positive attitude and a 38 percent improvement in predicting success.“This study asserts that without social network information, we only have an incomplete view of an individual’s wellness state, and to be fully predictive or to be able to derive interventions(干預(yù)). It is critical to be aware of the social network,” Chawla said.45. What did the study find?A. How your circle of friends influences you.B. How people choose their friend circles.C. What factors decide your friend circles.D. What your circle of friends says about your health.46. How did the researchers draw their conclusions?A. By comparing data.B. By giving examples.C. By analyzing cause and effect.D. By describing personal experiences.47. What does the underlined word “critical” mean in the last paragraph?A. Easy.B. Common.C. Important.D. Challenging.48. What do Chawla’s words in the last paragraph tell us?A. How fitness devices can connect your circle of friends.B. That a person’s social network is part of his health picture.C. The best ways to make friends and keep a healthy social circle.D. That wearable devices are not useful for understanding someone’s health.49. According to Professor Chawla, what data did the topology of social network are likely not to capture?A. Information of heart rate.B. Facts of sleep mode.C. The overall activities.D. Data of walking steps.DDo you think cookies can tell stories? Jasmine Cho, 35, does.A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies.It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”.Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said.Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?”One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.“It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout( 核爆炸后的沉降物)impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.”Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor.Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively.“Instead of trying to think of something new and original just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.”50. What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture?A. One of her sleepover experiences.B. One elective she took at college.C. The process of learning baking from her friend.D. A book she read about Asian-American immigrant experiences.51. The underlined word “articulate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean.A. get rid ofB. put up withC. express in wordsD. stay focused52. Why does Cho think cookies are a useful tool to promote Asian-American culture?A. Cookies don’t cost much.B. Cookies are easier to make.C. Cookies have different images.D. Cookies are liked by many people.53. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning George Helm in the passage?A. To inform the reader of Helm’s contributions to Hawaii.B. To show what knowledge Cho focuses on with her cookies.C. To introduce the spirituality of native Hawaiians.D. To explain why Cho is interested in political activists.54. What approach does Cho recommend to make a difference?A. Making use of your passion.B. Turning to political figures for help.C. Trying to do something creative and special.D. Asking people around to work along with you.55. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage?A. Think outside the box to break new ground.B. Spread something original to one’s heart content.C. Hold your horses for a better self.D. Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one.第Ⅱ卷(非選擇題共35分)注意事項:1.用黑色墨水的鋼筆或簽字筆將答案寫在答題卡上。2.本卷共6小題,共35分。第三部分:寫作(共兩節(jié),滿分35分)第一節(jié):閱讀表達(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)閱讀下面短文,并按照題目要求用英語回答問題。Last August I took part in the Summer Camp of the General Final Contest of the 16th National Creative English Contest held in Beijing. It was one of the most meaningful thing I did in my Senior 2 summer vacation.The summer camp lasted from August 20 to August 27. During the opening ceremony, we each wrote a postcard to motivate ourselves. On my card I wrote, “Brace yourself and show your best,” These words supported me throughout every obstacle I experienced.August 24 witnessed the important debate contest that many of us feared. The night before, my teammates and I sat in a circle, focusing our minds on the debate topic, “Does competition among friends adversely influence their friendships?”All of us were busy searching for examples of Olympic athletes or other real-life people to back up our arguments Time seemed to disappear faster than usual while we were working on this project.Finally, the big day arrived. Only one minute before we went on the stage, an inner voice entered my mind, saying, “Brace yourself and show your best.” Preparing the details in my head allowed me to feel ready for the challenge. With my teammates backing me up, I drew myself up to full height and expressed my point of view as best as I could.The results of the contest convinced me that my motto paid off—I entered the top 50, and two of my teammates placed in the top 10 due to their excellent performance. And through the strength of our teamwork, my friends and I became closer than ever. The more competition among friends, the firmer our friendship will be.From those eight days, it isn’t the prize I valued the most but the breakthrough and the pure friendship I gained. It would be better to change my motor into “Brace yourself and fight together.” I firmly hold the belief that this period of time will live in my memory forever and will shine even brighter when I look back.56.
