参考范文
Dear Margaux,
I heard that you love photography but have been struggling to balance your study. I’m glad to offer my advice!
First of all, list all the things you need to do in order of importance. Thus, more free time can be saved for your photography. Additionally, on the weekends, you’d better spend less time on meaningless events, taking part in some activities concerning photography instead.
I wish my advice would be of some help to you. I’m sure you can find a balance between your study and photography.
Yours sincerely,

In West Africa, dancing is an important part of many family traditions.
An ocean away, in the United States, a German-Jamaican-American family has made performing those dances part of their tradition. Their family name is Von Hendricks. Six years ago, two sisters and their brother formed an African dance company. They named it “Keur Khaleyi,” which means the House of Children in Wolof, a language in the West African nation of Senegal.
The group is based in the eastern U.S. city of Baltimore, Maryland. Its members perform in local and national festivals. They also set up a school to teach dance moves to others recently.
At first, the dance company was made up of two dancers, sisters Jihan and Ayana, and their brother Shakai, who played the drums. Soon, two younger family members joined them. Later, a sister-in-law joined the group.
The family performs dances from Senegal, Mali and Guinea, but has no family ties to those places.
Performing together strengthens family ties and fuels creativity. Shakai said, “Our parents knew what they were doing. They put us into this at a young age to keep us together. ”
The Von Hendricks family uses the dance company to keep generations close. Jihan’s daughter, 13 year old Diallo, dances and plays the drums with the group. She started dancing when she was 18 months old. She says it helped her develop social skills and make friends. She likes everything about performing: the music, the costumes and the feeling of accomplishment.
The Von Hendricks share their joy and knowledge with their neighbors in Baltimore. One of their students is a 71-year old hairstylist, Shakoorah El Sharief. She learned many African dances in the past, but says she likes West African dances best.
“I love everything about it,” she says. “It’s like my medicine. ”
The Von Hendricks’ dream is to teach more members of their community and family about West African dances and drumming.
What does the underlined word “ Wolof” in Pargraph 2 refer to
A. The House of Children. B. One of the languages in Senegal.
C. The Children in Africa. D. The name of an African dance.
25. How many members are there in the dance company now

26. What do we know about Diallo from the text
A. She is the daughter of Ayana.
B. She has been dancing for nearly 13 years.
C. She also joined the family dance company.
D. Dancing helped her develop the ability to talk to others.
27. What’s the best title for the text

B. A Special American Family Likes African Dances
C. A Family Forms an African Dance Company
D. West African Dances Are Loved by Many Americans

Roadkill, the killing of an animal by a car hitting it on the road, is a serious problem in the United States. In the U.S. alone, there are more than a million car accidents per year involving wildlife. For many species, it is the leading cause of death. In addition, major roads can separate animal populations and destroy their habitats. Animals lose access (通道) to large areas of their habitats, which makes it much harder for many animals to find food and a mate.
As people have become more aware of the danger to humans and animals, animal crossings are becoming more common. The crossings can come in many forms. The type depends on the species that need to cross and the geographic features of the land. The most common forms are bridges, overpasses and tunnels. Planners are increasingly including them when they design highways and road improvements. The crossings greatly reduce the number of crashes, provide a safe corridor for animals and reconnect animal habitats.
Wildlife bridges are usually covered in native plants. In the United Kingdom, people often call them “green bridges.” The idea is to make the crossing look like a natural part of the landscape, so animals will cross there.
The idea was first developed in France in the 1950s. It took off in the Netherlands, where more than 600 crossings have been built. The Dutch built the world's longest animal crossing. the Natuurbrug Zanderij Crailoo, which is more than a half mile.
28. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Major roads give way to animal habitats.
B. Animal habitats can be destroyed by roadkill.
C. Many animals lose their lives due to roadkill.
D. Major roads provide animals with access to food.
29. What do planners consider when deciding the crossing forms
A. The wildlife species and land characteristics.
B. Corridor safety and habitat connection.
C. Highway designs and road improvements.
D. Human activities and animal habitats.
30. What does the underlined phrase “took off” mean in the last paragraph
A. Went wasted. B. Became successful.
C. Appeared suddenly. D. Changed immediately.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Green bridges. B. Roadkill problems.
C. Road improvements. D. Wildlife crossings.
D
Searches on Google, finding friends through Facebook and being able to buy simply anything on Amazon have all been made possible thanks to major leaps forward in technology over the past 15 years.
However, that comes at a price. As our lives are gradually automated, many people are losing their jobs. And advancing technology has not delivered jobs as it should. At the end of 2015 a total of 74, 505 employees were working for Google's Alphabet and Facebook, accounting for less than a third of Microsoft's total staff. However, the combined stock-market value of these companies was twice as big as Microsoft's. Newcomer tech giants in the market are in need of even fewer workers. In 2016, semiconductor manufacturers slashed their number of workers by half to just 359,000.
Despite major concerns about the future of jobs and the economy in general, 140 years of data has shown technology as a whole has actually brought to life more jobs than it has ended. Technology has been described as a “great job-creating machine”. For instance, while roles in the agriculture, washers, and examples of repetitive services, have decreased, there has been a rise in caring posts, such as teaching, educational support assistants; welfare, housing, youth and community workers; and care workers and home caring.
The aging battle between man and machine will continue as it has for centuries. The question is “Are machines taking over our jobs, or is our workload being eased by their presence ” This will be an ongoing debate especially with the current rise in machine learning technology and artificial intelligence.
32. What does the underlined word “slashed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Counted. B. Increased. C. Cut. D. Predicted.
33. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A. State the opposite. B. Prove a theory. C.Introduce a view. D. Draw a conclusion.
34. What posts are on the rise thanks to the development of technology
A. Farmers. B. Washers. C. Miners. D. Teachers.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Is technology leading us nowhere
B. Is technological progress real progress
C. Does technology bring convenience to humans
D. Does technology destroy or create jobs

I remember my teen years when all I wanted was to put on weight. Growing up, I was always on the thinner side and try as I could, I never seemed to put on the kilos. I would admire the chubbier (丰满的) girls and wished to be like them.
36 I had sent out a message saying that I wasn’t good enough because of my body size, not realizing that we train others how to treat us.
Today, I’m comfortable in my skin, and I have learnt the art of self-love. And yes, I did put on the kilos years later after childbirth, but I lost them at the gym, and I am happy with myself. This got me thinking about the number of people today who want to look like someone else. 37 They are always in search of a different self!
Learn to fall in love with yourself. Learn to value yourself. If you do not like something about yourself, why not work out to get to your ideal (理想的) body type This not only increases your confidence, but you no longer have to wear those ugly tops to hide your stomach. 38
39 You do not have to present yourself for every party or appointment. Give yourself space to breathe. As women, we are taught to take care of everyone else but ourselves. We get worn out raising our families and balancing our private lives with our careers, and rarely have time for ourselves. At the end of the day, we are so worn-out; everyone else is happy but us. When you are tired, take enough time to rest. 40 Every so often, take time to refill your cup.
Learn to say No.
Learn to balance the life and work.
Accept what you are and be yourself.
Remember, you cannot pour out of an empty cup.
Now I realize I had weighed my self-worth on how I looked.
They look in the mirror and don’t like what they see.
Invest (投资) in self-improvement courses if you have to.
