11、給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。21（6分）US president Donald Trump has popularized the phrase “fake news” But not too long ago these words in combination would have meant little to everyday English speakers.Anatoly Liberman, a German, writes about the origins of the word “fake”. The word, it turns out, has a ver

12、y dark past. The best guess for how “fake” became mainstream, argues Liberman, is that it was a kind used by thieves in the London underworld. But“how it got there, nobody in the world knows, and probably nobody will ever know,” he tells Quartz.Liberman is a professor at the University of Minnesota

13、and the author of Word Origins and How We Know Them. He writes that early records of “fake” as an English adjective appeared around the middle of the 18th century. The word likely comes from cant, or thief jargon(行話).The OED mentions “fake” as a verb starting in 1819, which basically meantto do”in j

14、argon, but also“to kill , wound, or rob”. An entry from a dictionary that year reads :“To fake any person or place, to rob them ;to fake a person may also imply to shoot, wound, or cut; to fake a man out and out, is to kill him.”Liberman traces the word next to Chares Dickens, who used “cly-faker”，w

15、here “cly” means pocket, in Oliver Twist. This is how he believes knowledge of “fake”as a word that means to steal, spread. Eventually it became a commonplace English word.1、The underlined word “fake” in Paragraph 1 probably means .AlyingBtrueCcommonDinteresting2、What can we learn about Anatoly Libe

18、rds.22（8分）Brrriiinnng. The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glanc

19、e through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking.

20、Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when were unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy peoples lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving. By not giving yourself time

21、to_, youre missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.The trip you take to work doesnt help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons (神經(jīng)細(xì)胞), making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about whats going on in the wo

22、rld, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the days work is done.So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? Wed set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed,

23、following our thoughts where they lead. Wed stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation. Wed take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the officeafter we

26、ragraph in order to _.Aoffer practical suggestionsBsummarize past experiencesCadvocate diverse ways of lifeDestablish a routine for the future23（8分）Four Wild Animal Species Were EndangeredMaybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesnt mean theyre doing alright in the wild.TigersAll six tig

27、er species are endangered, with Suatran tigers and South China tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats, as humans clear forests to gather timber and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the

28、wild.Ground squirrelsThats right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown,

29、 but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 4130000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat an

30、d illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads a

31、nd railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.1、Why is the population of tigers becoming smaller?APeople hunt illegally and destroy their living spots.B

32、It is difficult for tigers to fit in with their environment.CThe forests are not suitable for their living.DThe tigers are a threat to the residents nearby.2、Whats the main reason why some animals are in danger according to the passage?AClimate changes.BHuman activities.CLack of food.DSerious pollut

34、letely caught and even killed.DThe present situation of endangered animals is worrying.24（8分） Few people, these days would disagree with the theory that its vital to take time for yourself.Creating some space for enjoyment and restoration each day or at least every week, is a win-win proposal: itll

35、make you both happier and more effective in fulfilling your responsibilities at work and home. In practice, it rarely happens, though. For some, thats because deep down they feet they dont deserve it. For others, its simply that busy life makes it seem impossible to press pause. Either way, making s

36、ure you actually get a. moment to yourself requires a shift in perspective.Dont wait until it feels right. Its unpleasant to have unfinished tasks bothering at your mind, so its tempting to tell yourself youll only relax once everything is under control. But since both work and family life generate

37、an infinite number of to-dos, that strategy is doomed to failure. As time-management writer Laura Vanderkarn points out, its far more useful to learn to tolerate the discomfort of knowing your email inbox is filling up, or that the living room is still a pigsty.Choose true enjoyment. Its all too eas

38、y to fill me time with things you think you should enjoy, above all exercise. If you genuinely love such activities, theyre perfect. But if the truth is that you dont, youll only get resentful: we rebel against being told what to do, even when the person doing the telling is ourselves. Make sure at

39、least a small part of your week is spent doing something you can honestly say you enjoy for itself.Pay attention to good feelings. Once you do get some restorative time, borrow a Buddhist technique for making it count: when you realize youre enjoying yourself, spend half a minute consciously paying

40、attention to the feelings of pleasure. For one thing, youll often find that those feelings increase as a result. For another, youll encode the memory of the experience in more detail so, looking back, itll feel like you had even more time to yourself.1、Why is it hard for some people to find time for

41、 themselves practically?AThey think they arent worth itBThey have a lot of pressure.CThey are in financial trouble.DThey cant spare any time2、Which of the following is acceptable according to Paragraph two?ANever put off what you should do.BTake a rest when its time toCRelax yourself with all work d
