22、 Doing business nowadays without a cellphone? Living a very private life? I can't imagine it anymore.
Journalist Chris Stokel-Walker explained it very well: For the average working person, there's no greater feeling than powering down your computer and kissing goodbye to your work emails for the day. If we're lucky enough to disconnect from the job on evenings and weekends, we're overjoyed to leave work emails and the stress that comes with it in the office.
But experts say we're increasingly failing to do so, instead bringing the burden home with us and dealing with emails during our free time. Unsurprisingly, this routine has some serious consequences.
Working abnormal or long hours has long been linked with depression（抑郁）, anxiety and even heart disease. In addition, the importance of weekend recovery has also been linked with weekly job performance and personal initiative（主动性）. And further research showed psychological detachment（脱离）during off-work time reduced emotional exhaustion caused by high job demands and helped people stay engaged（投入的）.
So, if we know all this, it begs the question: Why are we still letting work invade（入侵）our precious weekends?
According to Cary Cooper, Professor of Organizational Psychology at Alliance Manchester Business School, the recent trend even spills into the way we access our work communications and projects.
Today, says Cooper, work emails are just a tap of a smartphone away. "You don't carry your laptop around when you' re out to dinner, but you do carry your mobile phone," he says. "The smartphone changed everything. In many cases, what is gained does not make up for what is lost." So delete your work email account from your inbox, and leave the worries until Monday.
【1】What did Chris Stokel-Walker try to stress?
A．The development of office work.
B．The importance of working hard.
C．The pleasure of completing work.
D．The power of modern technology.
【2】What does the underlined part "this routine" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Using a cellphone.
B．Working in personal time.
C．Failing to work long hours.
D．Leaving work emails behind.
【3】What does Cary Cooper think of working extra hours?
A．It's necessary.
B．It's rewarding.
C．It isn't common.
D．It isn't worthwhile.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Can We Live without a Cellphone?
B．What Should We Do on Weekends?
C．Should We Ban Weekend Work Emails?
D．Who Should be Blamed for Work Overload?
23、Juanita “Speedster” Lopez, sitting in her room in Spain, is competing with Antonio “FastT” Castro in Guatemala for the Gold Cup of Racing. How can drivers sitting in different countries compete in the same race? That's easy and unique. All you need is an Internet connection.
Competitive online electronic sports, or eSports, have become widely popular all over the world. ESports are played competitively by both amateurs, who gain virtual (虚拟的) scores, and professionals, who compete for real cash prizes.
Competitive video games have been designed for just about every sport, but racing is especially popular as individuals and teams can feed their need for speed. Most racing games are played on personal home computers. Once the games are uploaded and players are logged on to the Internet, they can play against almost anyone in the world.
In racing eSport games, the player controls a specially designed car or other vehicle moving at a high speed while avoiding all kinds of obstacles on a variety of racing tracks. Amazing computer graphics make you feel as if you are really in the driver's seat and really feel the bumps in the road. Players who excel at their chosen eSports may become eSport professionals. Professional eSport tournaments are not usually played over the Internet. Instead a special location is chosen, like a big office building with lots of computers, and a LAN (Local Area Network) is set up.
The professional players, reporters from the media, the referees, and game administrators all come to the LAN site and log on to play the professional eSport tournament. LANbased events allow professional administrators to make sure no one is cheating and to ensure fair play for all. The first professional cybertournament was played in 1997. Thousands of “spectators” connected through the Internet all over the world watched their favorite cyberathletes compete in games.
Like star baseball and football athletes, the best eSport players become cybercelebrities and are under contract to play specifically for their sponsoring leagues or clans. ESports have become so popular that today even mainstream news media cover the big events.
【1】What is the main reason eSport games are so popular?

【2】According to the text, professional eSport tournaments ________．
A. were first played in 1979 on the Internet

24、 The second little pig was unlucky. He built his house from sticks. It was blown away by a wolf, which quickly ate him up. His brother, by contrast, built a wolf-proof house from bricks. The fairy tale could have been written by a salesman for the construction industry, which strongly favours brick, concrete and steel. However, in the real world it would help reduce pollution and slow global warming if more builders copied the wood-loving second pig.
In 2015 world leaders meeting in Paris agreed to move towards zero greenhouse-gas emissions（排放）in the second half of this century. That is a tall order, and the building industry makes it even taller. Cement-making alone produces 6% of the world’s carbon emissions. Steel, half of which goes into buildings, accounts for another 8%. If you count all of the energy that goes into lighting, heating and cooling homes and offices, the world’s buildings start to look like a serious environmental problem.
Governments in the rich world are now trying to promote greener behavior by requiring developers to build new projects to “zero carbon” standards（标准）. From January 1st 2019 all new public buildings in the European Union must be built to “nearly zero-energy” standards. All other types of buildings will follow in January 2021. Governments in eight further countries are being advised to apply the similar standards.
These standards are less green than they seem. Wind turbines and solar panels on top of buildings look good but are much less productive than wind and solar farms. And the standards only count the emissions from running a building, not those let out when it was made. Those are thought to account for between 30% and 60% of the total over a structure’s lifetime.
【1】Why is the fairy tale mentioned at the beginning of the passage?
A.To inform builders of salesmen’s trick.
B.To remind readers of a childhood fairy tale.
C.To persuade the builders to copy the second pig.
D.To attract readers to a problem of the building industry.
【2】What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A.To reduce pollution. B.To construct taller brick buildings.
C.To slow global warming. D.To reach zero greenhouse-gas emissions.
【3】What is the author’s attitude toward the “zero carbon” standards?
A.Confident. B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful D.Unconcerned.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Brick Houses to be Safer
B.Wood Buildings to be Greener
C.The “Zero Carbon” Standards
D.The Paris World Leader meeting

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said,
