Two men, both seriously ill. lived in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time on his back.
The men talked for hours. They spoke of their families, their jobs and their experiences. Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The roommate was very happy to have one hour and he hoped to see the outside world.
The window overlooked a. park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among colorful flowers and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described in detail, the roommate would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind.
Weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths, only to find the man by the window had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
After that, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. It faced a black wall. The man asked the nurse, “Why did he describe the invented world for me ” The nurse said, “He was blind and could not even see the wall. Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”

In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception(感知) of the food in front of us.
Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV ( or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual clues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.
A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several-hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they'd eaten but by how much food they'd seen in front of the meal— in other words, how much they remembered eating.
This disparity(新旧研究的差异) suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.
"Hunger isn't controlled individually by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal, "Brunstrom says. "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought. "These findings agree with an earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body's response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones(荷尔蒙), depending on whether the shake's label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie milkshake.
What does this mean for our eating habits Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.
The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.
61. What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake
A. How we feel the food we eat. B. When we eat our meals.
C. What element the food contains. D. How fast we eat our meals.
62. What would happen at , meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal
A. You would probably be more particular about food.
B. You would not feel like eating the same food.
C. You would have a good appetite.
D. You would not feel so hungry.
63. What do we learn from the 2011 study
A. Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases
B. Food labels may influence our body's response to food.
C. Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories.
D. People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary.
64. What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite
A. Trick ourselves into eating less. B. Choose food with fewer calories.
C. Concentrate on food while eating. D. Pick dishes of the right size.
65. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Eating distractions often affect our food digestion.
B. Psychological factors influence our hunger levels.
C. Our food intake is determined by our biological needs.
D. Good eating habits will contribute to our health.

We talk a lot about air pollution. Here in Hong Kong we always complain about light pollution as well. Then, there is noise, pollution. It's the same in many cities around the world. In Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, people have been complaining about the noise made by drivers who continually sound their car horns. That is until recently, when something was finally done about it.
The Chief District Officer of Kathmandu had received many complaints about horn pollution. He said that everyone felt the use of the car horn in recent years had become too much. Researchers in Kathmandu found that for about 80 percent of the time, it really was not necessary for drivers to use their car horns. Sounding the horn to make a noise had become more of a habit. It was no longer being used as it was supposed to be used: to warn people of danger.
At the beginning of the Nepali New Year in 2017, the local government passed a law to ban the use of car horns unless used correctly.
Within six months, 11,000 fines had been collected by the local traffic police. The fine was about HK$360. A taxi driver in Kathmandu can make about HK$1, 000 per day, so he could lose about one-third of his money if he broke the law.
As usual, there were many complaints from drivers. They said that cows and dogs were free to walk on the roads. They always caused danger. Sounding a car horn was the only way to get them to move out of the way. And although there were quite a few traffic lights in the streets of Kathmandu, very few of them worked. This meant there was often a traffic mess.
The ban on using a car horn went ahead, and within a few weeks the streets of Nepal's capital were quieter - - even though they were still just as busy. Because of the ban, drivers are a little more careful when they drive. Fewer accidents have been reported. The local government says the horn ban will now be copied in other areas of Nepal.
66. What do Hong Kong and Kathmandu have in common
A. Both have been troubled by factory pollution.
B. Both have succeeded in fighting air pollution.
C. Both have been faced with the problem of noise pollution.
D. Both have received many complaints about horn pollution.
67. What do the Researchers in Kathmandu found
A. Car drivers usually use car horns unnecessarily.
B. The cars are becoming more and more.
C. Care drivers use car horns as a warning.
D. Everyone complain about the horn pollution.
68. When was the law on the use of car horns passed
A. In 2016. B. In 2017. C. In 2018. D. In 2019.
69. What will you find if you go to Kathmandu
A. No traffic lights in the streets can work.
B. The traffic on the roads is usually very heavy.
C. Animals are not allowed to walk on the streets.
D. Drivers are required to drive on one-way streets.
70. What can we guess about Kathmandu's horn ban
A. It is unfair. B. It is worrying. C. It is interesting. D. It is successful.

五、阅读表达(共5小题，每题2分，共10分)
Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud, whether it was in the supermarket or on the street, I used to think how annoying it was. That was until a few months ago.
Recently, my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness, asking me to fix the“little girl” pattern on her wheel-chair seat. Not wanting her to be noticeable at school, I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker, eager to erase whatever childish signs I could.
Shortly after, Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school. This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school, as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork.
I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life. Back then, it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals, as she spent so much time in them. No matter how sick she got, however, she always had a positive attitude.
But this time was different: Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sang all the time, whether she was playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us.
Consumed(被折磨) with my motherly worries, it was more concerning to me than her sickness. One day, however,I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner. I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. “Pure delight,” I thought to myself. Her voice slowly grew stronger, and soon, both the car and the house were filled with her music once more.
How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped, weeks and weeks ago Now, thankfully, she's back in school, smiling and singing, and I'm thankful for each and every song she sings.
These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves,I don't get mad. Instead, I smile, as I know that by singing out loud, they' re simply sharing their happiness with the world.
56. How did the author use to feel when she heard strangers singing.( no more than 5 words)
57 What do you think Zoe was like ( no more than 10 words)
58. What does“it” in Paragraph 6 refer to ( no more than 10 words)

六 As is known to all, sports play a crucial role in maintaining good health, especially for us students. However, as the result of heavy academic burden, many of us attach little importance to taking exercise or even are not willing to do it. Therefore, to encourage more students to take exercise as well as enhance our awareness that physical exercise contributes greatly to our health, the Student Union held the annual sports event-Sports Week from October 7 , lasting two weeks. So appealing was the event that all the students took an active part in it.
During the two weeks, a variety of sports activities were organized, ranging from football and basketball matches to volleyball matches. Every team made full preparations for them. With excited audience cheering, every athlete went all out to compete in each match in pursuit of victory.
From my point of view, participating in sports activities has relieved our stress from study, helping us keep physically and mentally healthy. As a result, we are able to devote ourselves to study more energetically. Besides, by engaging in such sports activities, not only have we made more friends sharing the same interest, but we have also cultivated team spirit. I hope more students can spare time to do some sports in the future.
