Growing up, I never wore makeup and I was always more afraid of the mirror than anything else. I hadn't
thought makeup was meant for me, a disabled woman, until I saw Ulta's new advertisement: a huge full-color
photo of a model in a wheelchair.
The world of fashion and beauty is rarely related to disabilities, and even though Hollywood has made steps
toward greater inclusion and clothing brand Aerie has featured women with disabilities in their advertisements,4
seeing disabilities in the mainstream is definitely unusual. The reason why these things make headlines is that
they're so rare.
I learned from a very young age that because of my disability, I would never be connected with beauty or
charm. I'd spent so long feeling separated from so many parts of society, but Ulta is sending a powerful message
with a single photo: It's time to challenge conventional beauty standards because beauty comes in all forms.
We all want to feel included. When it comes to disabilities, it is so important, especially for children and
teens with disabilities. I was well into my 30s when I rolled into a makeup store for the first time. I had no idea
what I was doing and felt like entering a new world without a map; I felt like I was out of place, as if I was
peeking at a club without being invited. Imagine how my experience would have been different if I had seen a
model in a wheelchair, smiling, as if to say, “Welcome. Yes, you belong!”
That message of inclusion was loud and clear for Maren Anderson, a 4-year-old girl who has a rare genetic
disease and just started using a wheelchair. The moment she spotted the advertisement was caught on camera by
her mom Carolyn Anderson, and quickly spread last month on Facebook. “It's just really saying that she feels
included, and she feels like she identifies with that, and belongs here just like everybody else. So, thank you,
Ulta,” said Carolyn Anderson.
24．What can be learned from paragraph 2?
A. There will be more products for the disabled.
B. Aerie is the author's favorite clothing brand.
C. Hollywood works with Ulta to help the disabled.
D. It's hard for the public to associate beauty with disabilities.
25．What does the author think of Ulta's new advertisement?
A. It creates a new trend in the fashion world.
B. It makes society offer more jobs to the disabled.
C. It helps make the disabled feel confident and involved.
D. It breaks the barrier between the disabled and the able-bodied.
26．How did the author feel when she first stepped into the makeup store?
A. Nervous and embarrassed.
B. Sad and lonely.
C. Excited and proud.
D. Lost and bored.
27. Why is Maren Anderson's photo mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To expose the condition of the disabled.
B. To show the effect of Ulta's advertisement.
C. To emphasize the sense of belonging.
D. To explore the contemporary beauty standards.
C
The doors open wide, you enter，and they close behind you. As the elevator goes up, you realize it＇
s just you
and one other person taking this ride. The silence soon grows uncomfortable. What's your go-to move? A) Stare at
your shoes. B) Pull out your cellphone. C) Make brief eye contact. D) Start a conversation.
If your answer is B, you're like far too many of us, who tend to do just about anything to avoid conversation
or even eye contact with strangers. And smartphones make it easier than ever to do that. But a body of research
has shown that we might just be short-changing（亏待）our own happiness by ignoring opportunities to connect
with the people around us.
Several years ago, psychologist Elizabeth Dunn and her colleague Gillian M. Sandstrom tested whether short
conversations with strangers could lift moods. They asked participants to enter a busy coffee shop and grab a
drink-half would just get in and get out, and half would strike up a conversation with the waiter.“We found that
people who were randomly assigned to turn this economic behavior into a quick social interaction, left the coffee
shop in a better mood,” Dunn says. Why, if connecting with others makes us happy, do we so often avoid it?Social anxiety could be preventing these types of interactions, says behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley. His
experiments revealed that train and bus commuters （通勤者）who interacted with other passengers experienced a
more pleasant ride-even when they believed they would prefer reading a book. It is fear that the person sitting next
to us won't enjoy talking to us that makes us keep to ourselves, Epley found.
So,how can we avoid the risks of loneliness and stop short-changing our own happiness? It might be easier
than you think. Start with folks like the cashier in a grocery store or the waiter at your local coffee shop, Dunn
says. You’ve got to interact with them anyway, so you might as well make an effort to turn it into a friendly
exchange.
28. What can be learned about those who choose B as an answer?
A.They are addicted to the digital world.
B. They feel uncomfortable being stared at.
C. They enjoy connecting with familiar people much.
D.They hate making small talks with people unknown to them.
29. What were the happier participants in Dunn' s study asked to do?
A. Speak to the waiter.
B. Avoid asking for change.
C. Choose a drink randomly.
D. Get out of the coffee shop quickly.
30. Why did commuters avoid interacting with other passengers according to Epley?
A. To protect their privacy.
B. Due to fear of rejection.
C. Due to busy schedules.
D. To enjoy views outside.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A.The benefits of avoiding loneliness.
B.The benefits of pleasant commutes.
C. The benefits of talking with strangers.
D. The benefits of interacting with local people.
D
Twenty years ago, the Urban Land Institute defined the two types of cities that dominated the US landscape:
smaller cities that operated around standard 9-5 business hours and large metropolitan areas that ran all 24 hours
of the day. Analyzing and comparing cities using the lens of this basic divide gives interesting context to how
investment capital flows and housing prices have shifted.
In recent years, many mid-sized cities have begun to adopt a middle-of-the-road approach incorporating the
excitement and opportunity of large cities with small cities' quiet after midnight. These 18-hour cities are
beginning to make waves in real estate(房地产) rankings and attract more real estate investment. What is
underlying this new movement in real estate, and why do these cities have so much appeal?
18-hour cities combine the best of 24-hour and 9-5 cities, which contributes to downtown revitalization. For
decades, many downtown cores in small to mid-sized cities were abandoned after work hours by workers who
lived in the suburbs. Movement out of city centers was widespread, and downtown tenants were predominantly
made up of the working poor. This generated little commerce for downtown businesses in the evenings, which
made business and generating tax revenue for municipal upkeep difficult.
Transforming downtown areas so that they incorporate modern housing and improved walkability to local
restaurants, retail, and entertainment—especially when combined with improved infrastructure for cyclists and
public transit—makes them appeal to a more affluent demographic( 人 口 ). These adjustments encourage
employers in the knowledge and talent industries to keep their offices downtown. Access to foot traffic and
56
proximity(邻近) to transit allow the type of entertainment-oriented businesses such as bars and restaurants to stay
open later, which attracts both younger, creative workers and baby boomers nearing retirement alike. Because of
their smaller size, most keep hours that allow people to enjoy themselves, then have some quiet after midnight, as
opposed to large major cities like New York, where the buzz of activity is ongoing
32. What do we learn about American cities twenty years ago?
A.They were divided into residential and business areas.
B. Their housing prices were linked with their prosperity.
C. There was a clear divide between large and small cities.
D.They were places where large investment capital flowed.
33. What can be inferred from the passage about 18-hour cities?
A. They especially appeal to small businesses.
B. They have seen a rise in property prices.
C. They have replaced quiet with excitement.
D. They have changed America's landscape.
34. Years ago, many downtown cores in small to mid-sized cities
.
A. had hardly any business activity
B. were crowded in business hours
C. exhibited no signs of prosperity
D. looked deserted in the evenings
35. What characterizes the new downtown areas in 18-hour cities?
A. A sudden emergence of the knowledge industry.
B. Flooding in of large crowds of migrant workers.
C. Modernized housing and improved infrastructure.
D. More comfortable life and greater upward mobility.

Four differences between successful people and you
The truth is, any successful individual is flesh and blood just like you. They are not born miracles, but it’s the
small differences that help them stick out from the rest.
36
.
Ordinary people talk about other people. Successful people talk about ideas.
Gossiping and bagging others are popular among ordinary folks.
37
. What successful people do is
discuss various ideas that could improve their lives.
Ordinary people complain about life.
38
.
The fact is, everybody experiences difficulties. Both, people at the bottom as well as the ones at the top,
struggle with something. You can’t control the obstacles life throws at you, but you can control the way you react
to them. Whereas ordinary folks simply wish life was easier, successful individuals accept the way it is and find
an alternative path.
Ordinary people let their thoughts influence them. Successful people influence their thoughts.
39
.Many people let them dictate their lives. On the contrary, outstanding people are conscious of the
impact their thoughts have, so they influence their thinking to make it work for, and not against them.
Ordinary people cannot say no. Successful people often say no.
40
.But then again, considering the long-term view, it’s better to say “no” now, rather than regret the
subsequent consequences of saying “yes”. You have to say “no” to bad eating habits and so on, and then you can
say “yes” to being more healthy. The successful individual takes the advantage of saying “no” on a daily basis,
while the ordinary one underestimates（低估）the power of this seemingly simple word.
A. Successful people never complain about life.7
B. Successful people adapt to what life throws at them.
C. From a short-term perspective, saying “no” can be scary.
D. Everyone has doubts and negative thoughts once in a while.
E. Many people may have some very brilliant thoughts sometimes.
F. So, what are the key aspects that differentiate them from the crowd?
G. They just can’t help but talk about people, often with a vein of jealousy.

(tell) HuffPost that there is “ a

Baking works wonder in focusing the mind because it often relies

59
cookies will be unpleasantly wet. Having
complete focus on a recipe and not allowing yourself to be distracted by your thoughts often bring a healing effect.
In the process, most of the

concentrate on the details while taking your mind away from various anxieties of your life outside the kitchen.
62
( basic), baking is a creative activity
63
you can imagine a happy moment in the future.
Pincus indicates that the act of sharing your product benefits the body and soul. When the bread or cake

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。
The Robson Valley, where I live in the Canadian Rockies, has wonderful scenery of snow-covered mountains,
ranches (牧场) and farms, which attracts hikers, snowmobilers and horseback riders. The valley is remote. In
winter, temperature falls below freezing and more than 30 feet of snow falls on the highest mountains.
Last December, I got a call from my best friend, Monika Brown. “Two horses are trapped on Mount
Renshaw，” Monika told me. “Some snowmobilers spotted them high on the mountain. They're trapped in the
snow and starving. Someone needs to get those horses down the mountain, or they'll die off there.”
I've loved horses since I was a girl. The thought that two horses would freeze to death on a mountain was too
much to bear. I jumped up. “We must get there. They need someone who knows horses to look after them and feed
them. I'll get in touch with my friends Sara and Matt. They're amazing snowmobilers.”
Matt agreed right away to go up the mountain. After finding them, I covered the two horses with blankets and
fed them with some hay personally. I was overjoyed. But then we faced an even bigger challenge. The horses were
miles from the nearest road. We had to get the two horses out of the dangerous area before another snowstorm
arrived.
Sara and Matt put forward a plan to dig a trench (沟) from the horse site to the nearest road, where we could
walk them down the mountain. But just a handful of people waited on the scene. We spent the rest of the day
digging and made a trench a few dozen meters long. At this rate it would take weeks to reach the road, about a
kilometer away. A storm could blow up anytime. We needed more diggers. I sent out e-mails and made more
phone calls to ask everyone I could think of for help.
注意：
1.续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
