Looking at his pile of unpaid bills always makes Giuseppe Del Giudice feel uneasy. More often than not, Del Giudice leaves almost everything until the last moment. He is not alone. “It’s part of the human condition,” said procrastination (拖延症) researcher Tim Pychyl, a psychology professor at Carleton University. “We want to feel good now. The way to do that is to avoid the task.”
One big factor for avoidance is fear of failure, of not living up to expectations. Kelli Saginak, a 57yearold functional health coach from Wisconsin, procrastinated about looking for a new job for years. “If I don’t take the risk, decide, or commit, I don’t have to face the judgment.” said Saginak. That inability to take action only confirmed her that she would never do any better. Procrastinators believe that they are more effective under pressure. But researchers have different opinions. “I once did an experiment, putting procrastinators under restrictions of time,” said Tim Pychyl. “They made more errors. They took longer than nonprocrastinators, but they thought they did better.”
Whatever the motivation, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Delaying a diet or exercise program may increase your risk of heart disease. Procrastinators experience higher levels of stress, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own regrets about their procrastination. There’s one bit of good news: People tend to procrastinate less as they age. “As you grow older, the idea of living forever does fade away,” Tim Pychyl said. “It becomes clearer: How many summers do we have left Ten Fifteen They’re really limited. What are you going to do with each of those summers ”
4. How does the author introduce the topic
A．By raising questions.
B．By giving an example.
C．By making a definition.
D．By making comparisons.
5. What can be learned from Paragraph 2
A．Kelli Saginal tends to take risks.
B．Procrastinators did better in the experiment.
C．Kelli Saginal has been looking for a new job.
D．Procrastinators are less effective under pressure.
6. Why do people tend to procrastinate less when getting older
A．They are aware of the limited time.
B．They experience lower level of stress.
C．They regret what they have done before.
D．They seldom leave things to the last minutes.
7. Where is the text probably from
A．A fiction.
B．A book review.
C．A guidebook.
D．A science magazine.
C
A study has found that when people burn extra calories by working out, the body starts to compensate by reducing the amount of energy spent on functions to stay alive, such as sleeping or digestion. About a quarter of the calories burnt during a workout are then budgeted for later on, meaning that overall the total number of calories burnt is less than expected. For overweight people, it is estimated that about half of calories burnt during periods of higher activity were later compensated for.
Researchers at the University of Roehampton found that the calories the body burns to keep ticking over decrease by 28 per cent during periods when daily exercise levels are consistently high. This means the more we exercise over the longterm, the less calories our bodies burn for the most rudimentary activities. The results show that only 54 per cent of the calories used by exercise or activity among people who have the highest body mass actually translated into calories burnt at the end of the day, due to their bodies reducing the energy spent on the most basic of functions. In contrast,70 percent of calories burnt during activity by those with the lowest body mass translated into more calories burnt at the end of the day.
Professor Lewis Halsey, of the department of life sciences, said: “Around the world, national guidelines tend to recommend a 500—600 calorie deficit through exercising and dieting to lose weight. However, they do not take into account the reduction of calories being burnt in the most basic of human functions as the body compensates for the calories burnt on the exercise as shown in our research, and the variation in this compensation between people with different levels of body fat.”
In this study they found no differences between men and women in the energy lost during activity. But since the research shows overweight people who exercise burn significantly fewer calories on daytoday functions, there is a need for greater personalisation of exercise plans depending upon body mass.
8. Why are calories burnt by exercise less than expected according to the study
A．Time spent on exercise is limited.
B．Exercise levels are not high enough.
C．People tend to overeat after exercise.
D．They are compensated for by the body.
9. How does the writer develop paragraph 2
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By raising examples.
C．By providing statistics.
D．By explaining concepts.
10. What does Lewis Halsey think of the present national guidelines on losing weight
A．They are worth recommending.
B．They are supposed to be revised.
C．They neglect gender differences.
D．They take body mass into account.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Overweight Exercisers Burn Fewer Calories
B．Ways to Keep Fit by Exercising and Dieting
C．Sleeping and Digestion Function to Stay Alive
D．Personalized Exercise Plans on Losing Weight
D
The iPhone has become a usability nightmare (噩梦). A new one comes with 38 preinstalled (提前装好的) apps, of which you can delete 27. Once you’ve downloaded your favorite apps, you’re now sitting at 46 or more.
Like many companies, Apple has decided that there’s no need to build an easytouse product when it can use artificial intelligence. If you want to find something in their garbage dump of apps and options, you must use Spotlight, Apple’s AIpowered search engine that can find almost everything there.
This “innovation” of artificial intelligence is not the creation of something new but simply companies selling you back basic usability after decades of messy design choices. And these tech firms are charging us more to fix their mistakes and slapping an AI label as a solution.
Alexa and Siri have become replacements for intentional computing. They give commands into voice interfaces (接口) easily but sacrifice “what we can do” to “what Amazon or Apple allows us to do.” We have been trained to keep apps and files, while tech companies have failed to provide any easy way to organize them. They have decided that disorganized chaos is fine as long as they can provide an automated search product to sift (筛查) through the mess, something more tech, even if tech created the problem in the first place.
Artificial intelligencebased user interfaces rob the user of choice and empower tech giants to control their decisionmaking. When one searches for something in Siri or Alexa, Apple and Amazon control the results. Google already provides vastly different search results based on your location, and has redesigned search itself multiple times to trick users into clicking links that benefit Google in some way.
Depressingly, our future is becoming one where we must choose between asking an artificial intelligence for help, or fighting through an everincreasing amount of poorly designed menus in the hope we might be able to help ourselves. We, as consumers, should demand more from the companies that have turned our digital lives into trilliondollar enterprises.
12. Why does the author mention Apple’s problem
A．As the main topic.
B．As the model.
C．As an example.
D．As a sharp contrast.
13. What can we know about Alexa and Siri
A．They are both Apple’s search products.
B．They help consumers make their own choices.
C．They have bettered the user experience greatly.
D．They work to the benefits of tech giants behind.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the technological giants’ AIsolution
A．Uncertain.
B．Disapproving.
C．Unclear.
D．Unconcerned.
15. The author writes this article to ask readers to _____.
A．abandon using artificial intelligence
B．abandon using products from tech giants
C．recognize the nature of AIbased solution
D．recognize the nature of poorly designed apps
二、七选五
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。
Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
___16___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___17___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___18___ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triplespaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ___19___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___20___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A．Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B．Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C．The second draft of the essay should be better.
D．First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E．Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F．Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G．Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triplespace.
三、完形填空
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。
For the past five years, I have been writing a book. It is almost ___21___ and now it is time for my publisher and me to agree on a title. It has not gone ___22___.
The book is about a ___23___ day in history, a date ___24___ at random. My idea is that there is no such thing as a(n) “___25___” day. If you ___26___ deeply enough into the events of any 24 hours, you will find enough drama, humor and so on. I always ___27___ that the book would be titled “One Day,” with three ___28___ drawn from the hat “12/28/1986.”
___29___ that is clearly not how things are done anymore. Publishers believe books must have subtitles; the more wordy, the ___30___.
This wasn't my first such ___31___. Years ago, I wrote a book about dogs. The title was to be "Old Dogs," for that was what the book was about. On the cover would be a ___32___ of an old dog, connecting with the ___33___ elegantly. But the publisher insisted on a subtitle. The ___34___ came out thus: "OLD DOGS: Are the best dogs. "Whenever I see it, I feel embarrassed. This ___35___ me wondering what old book covers would have been like in the new age.

47. 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。
It was the day of the big crosscountry run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the crosscountry team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.

47.范文：
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently that I knew how hard he had trained for the race. Hearing my words, David raised his head, eyes filled with worry. He feared being laughed at by competitors from other schools. I told him that what truly mattered was his courage rather than the final result. Nobody would judge him for his speed. After a moment’s silence, David nodded and made up his mind to take part.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race began. David fell far behind others soon. Some kids turned to look, but no one laughed. Tired as he was, he kept moving forward step by step. When he finally crossed the finishing line, all the audience cheered loudly. A big smile returned to his face. It was his determination that made his victory.
