The words turned into white noise. “So, an ugly scar across my neck, then? ” I asked. The nurse said: “Don't worry. The closure is like his signature. Just like you want a perfect scar, he wants to give you one. You'll barely see it.” I found some comfort in that.I googled “cancer surgery scar” and was presented with neck images: necks with red and purple lines, closed with stitches or glue; necks with multiple scars It was enough to make me shut my Macbook, as anxiety pulsed through my body. In the mirror, I admired my neck, running my finger across a gold chain I wore. Then a tiny voice said: “Mummy！”My then fiveyearold son, Jack, appeared in the mirror behind me. Our reflection was a big reality check. See, my son didn't know I had cancer and was having surgery. I'm a single mom. Jack lives with me and doesn't have a relationship with his father. I'm his hero. I'm the homework helper, nurse, chef, taxi driver, and every other variation of parent. I knew I couldn't wimp_out over cancer or some scar on my neckI'm this kid's life!So I did the next best thing I could think of: I made an appointment to get my hair done a few days before the first surgery. My goal was simple: golden hair to frame my scar. If I couldn't hide it, I might as well show it off. I never had any intentions of hiding the scar. I didn't want my son to think my scar was something to be ashamed of. I'm his role model and I needed to set a good example. Bad things can happen, but it's how you deal with them that matters.The scar proves I faced my fear and won. If I got through that, I can get through all the hardships, land on my feet and live boldly.(B)24. How did the author feel about the wouldbe scar across her neck at first?A. Comfortable and relieved.

We want our children to be perfectly adjusted. We wish our bodies were perfectly shaped. We want to find the ideal soul mate. We expect our athletes in the Olympics to perform perfectly. We want our minds to be absolutely stillat least when we choose so.There is very little room for failure in our goaldriven society. And while there is nothing wrong with trying to give the best we can, wanting to be perfect is an endeavor that is bound to fail. In fact, it lies at the heart of much of the anxiety and depression we encounter every day. Children and teenagers crack under the expectations of overly ambitious parents, who want to force them to fulfill their own unachieved dreams. Marriages fall apart under the stress of romantic ideals and everincreasing pressures. Professionals, athletes and soldiers do their best to live up to what others have put upon them every day, and inevitably have to accept their limitations.One example is the news about Jonah Lehrer, a young and brilliant science writer who was criticized for making up quotes for his highly readable articles. Lehrer broke into the writing profession at 26, published a bestseller two years later, and was quickly seen as a boy genius. The media machinery of initial admiration which later turned into scorn(轻蔑) and schadenfreude(幸灾乐祸) made a loser out of this talented young man.We can observe the cycle of high expectations leading to failure and shame practically every day in the media: actors and musicians fallen from grace, politicians making unrealistic promises and quickly being ridiculed for it; and companies promising neverending beauty and health that won't happen. We all like a winner and a star. However，no one can live up to neverending success and glory. What goes up must come down. What turns out to be flawless(无瑕疵的) the first time will inevitably lose out another time. It's time to accept that we are human. Nobody is perfect. It would spare us a lot of pain.(A)28. What do we know about our present society?A. Some people are motivated by their ambitions.B. Anxiety and depression make people stronger.C. Couples are likely to part for unachieved dreams.D. Seeking to be perfect is beneficial to people.【解析】从第二段的第一句话“There is very little room for failure in our goaldriven society.”可以得知，我们总是受到目标的驱使，所以A选项句意符合原文。(D)29. What was responsible for Jonah Lehrer's becoming a loser in the end?A. Feeling proud for his bestselling book.B. Cheating in a writing competition.C. Too much criticism from his readers.D. Media's inappropriate response to him.【解析】从第三段中“The media machinery of initial admiration which later turned into scorn(轻蔑) and schadenfreude(幸灾乐祸) made a loser out of this talented young man.” 可以得知，正是媒体从一开始的钦佩的态度到后面的轻蔑的态度让这位作家最后遭受失败。D选项符合句意。(C)30. What will happen to a politician if his promise doesnt sound realistic?A. He will feel ashamed. B. He will be fined.C. He will be laughed at. D. He will be accused.【解析】从倒数第二段可以得知答案。(A)31. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell us to accept what we are.B. To inform us of how to be perfect in life.C. To criticize those who are unrealistic.D. To introduce the way to go through painful life.【解析】从文章最后一段中“It's time to accept that we are human. Nobody is perfect. It would spare us a lot of pain.” 可以得知，我们要学会接受自己的不完美，这也正是文章的意图。DUnited States health officials are urging people to stop using electronic cigarettes, known as ecigarettes. The call to action came after such products were linked to health problems. Five deaths have also been reported. Ecigarettes are a popular substitute for smoking products. The electronic devices heat liquid that includes flavoring, nicotine and other chemicals into vaporvery small particles that users breathe in. Nicotine is found in many plants, including tobacco. Ecigarettes or similar devices also can provide THC or other substances to users. THC is the natural chemical present in marijuana(大麻) plants that gives users the mental state known as a “high”Ecigarettes are said to be safer than normal cigarettes because they do not create the cancercausing byproducts of burning tobacco.Yet health officials say ecigarette users have reported shortness of breath and other breathing problems, such as coughing and chest pain.

One report noted that most of the 53 illnesses reported in Illinois and Wisconsin were related to THC vaping(气化) products. But nearly 20 percent of the patients inhaled(吸入)substances like nicotine from ecigarettes. Most of the reported cases were of young men.The report found that, “Since no single product or substance has been associated with the illness, persons should consider not using ecigarettes while this investigation is ongoing.” Last November, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, reported that “ecigarette use increased considerably among US. middle and high school students during 20172018.” Among high school students, it found ecigarette use rose from 220，000 students in 2011 to 3.05 million in 2018.On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA gave a warning to JUUL Labs, maker of the bestselling ecigarettes. The FDA accused the company of illegally marketing its products as being “safer than cigarettes” without the agency's approval.In a statement, the FDA's acting commissioner said that, “JUUL has ignored the law, and has made some of these statements in school to our nation's youth.” A JUUL spokesman said the company is studying the FDA's comments and “will fully cooperate”(D)32. Which of the following can best describe ecigarettes?A. Effective. B. Harmless. C. Infectious. D. Deadly.【解析】从文章第一段中“The call to action came after such products were linked to health problems.

They will feel excited. C. They will lose weight. D. They will be peaceful.【解析】从文章第一段的最后一句“THC is the natural chemical present in marijuana(大麻) plants that gives users the mental state known as a high”可以得知，THC(四氢大麻酚)能让人感到很嗨，很兴奋，所以选B。(A)34.

It completely denied what it was accused of.D.

Safer ecigarettes are needed for health.【解析】从全文可以得知，电子烟对人的健康有很大的影响，只有C选项符合全文意思。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。Everybody who has dealt with any minor amount of stress has had the fantasy of packing up and running away from all of their problems, disappearing from the modern world almost entirely.36_A_ But he has done much further than thatand much more selfish. He has created what he calls “The Blockade”， a nearly total media blackout(封锁) that has allowed him to stay 100 percent ignorant of the day's news outside of the weather, local real estate listings, and how the Cleveland Cavaliers are doing. He doesn't know about the chaos of Trump's White House. He doesn't know about the white supremacists(至上主义者) and neoNazis that marched in Charlottesville. 37._F_ He doesn't know who won out at the Oscars. Not only does he not look at newspapers and listen to white noise when he hangs out at a local café， but he also asks his mom not to talk about current events when they chat on the phone. Hagerman's Blockade means he doesn't have to worry about the problems of his fellow citizens, his neighbors, or even some of his family members. 38._G_ Of course not, because he can afford to have a financial adviser managing all of his investments. As a white male who has the opportunity to make (and save) a lot of money, he isn't directly affected by many of the things that happen inside his country and to his fellow citizens.It's OK to tune out every once in a while and unplug or maybe take a break from Twitter for a week. 39._D_ If everyone did what Hagerman did, there would be no United States. There would be no democracy. There would be no forward progress or people helping others in times of need. 40._C_ “The first several months of this thing, I didn't feel all that great about it，” said him. A. Erik Hagerman has just done that. B. Erik Hagerman is really selfish. C. In fact, Hagerman also feels guilty sometimes.D. However, opting out of the larger world completely does more harm than good.E. Doesn't he have any friends?F. He doesn't know about a school shooting.G. Is he worried about his own money?【语篇导读】本文讲述的Erik Hagerman原本是耐克的高级总监。自从特朗普当选总统之后，他便决定去俄亥俄州农村的养猪场退隐，不想听到外界的任何新闻，做一个“无知是福”的人。36【解析】文中第一次出现Erik Hagerman的名字，同时与后面的But形成转折关系。意为：Erik Hagerman正是那样做的，但是他做的还不仅如此37【解析】与前后的句子句型一致，都是He doesn't know，同时前后语意符合逻辑。38【解析】后句解释了为什么他不用担心自己的钱。39【解析】后面连续是三个虚拟语气的句子，表明了他这种屏蔽周围世界的做法的危害性。40【解析】此句前面说的是这种做法的危害性，后面说的是他开始的几个月也感觉不太好，所以这里选“事实上，他有时有愧疚感”。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。“Tear them apart！” “Kill the fool！” “Murder the referee！” These are common _41_ we may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let's not _42_ ourselves. They have been known to _43_ behavior in such a way as to lead to real violence. Actually, _44_ with certain meanings may cause us to react in ways quite _45_ our usual humanistic(人文主义的，人道主义的) behavior, which is characterized by care and _46_. I see “opponent(对手)” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to _47_ it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “one who opposes your interests”. _48_， a player may tend to treat his opponent as a(n) _49_ and whatever rude behavior may be considered reasonable. I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee _50_ a player's request for a time out for a glove _51_ because he did not consider them wet enough. The player started to _52_ his gloves across his _53_ Tshirt and then shouted, “Are they wet enough now？” I have also _54_ a player react to his opponent's illegal blocking by _55_ hitting him with the ball as hard as he could. _56_ the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It c
