with my dad，they usually say，It must be nice to think of thelegacy（遗产）you created with someone who means so much to you.This was a beautiful idea，but it was not the way I，or my dad，ever thought about thecooperation.Though we created something were proud of，nice is not the word either of us uses todescribe the process.It was more confrontation（对抗）than cooperation，my dad likes to say.I agree.When we landeda book deal，we began a writing journey that was more difficult than either of us had expected，but alsofar more rewarding.For almost three years.we met once or twice a week at my parents*house and talked daily to planand outline each chapter.After these meetings，one of us would write a rough draft that the other wouldbuild on.I wanted the book to focus on positive vices（不良习惯）：such as moderate（适度的）chocolate.However，my dad felt the book should include chapters dealing with things like walking andspending time with family.Eventually，I saw it his way.He said the book was about more than just goodvices.It was about encouraging people to enjoy life in healthy ways.Writing this book was a reminder that our family members share not only our faults but also ourstrengths.My dad is smart，funny，critical and caring.He has a strong passion for the truth.I hope I sharethese great qualities.For this book，he researched each topic with an enthusiasm Id never seen from him，and he insisted that we constantly question and critically analyze every piece of information-even ourown conclusions.He was determined to cooperate on a book，not because he couldnt write one on hisown，but because he believed that we could create than we something better together than we couldalone.Im not sure if our cooperation led to better writing，but it led to a better writing experience.Writingthis book was difficult，sometimes more difficult than past projects，but it was never lonely.21.How would the author describe the writing process according to the first 3 paragraphs？A.Nice.B.Relaxing.C.StrugglingD.Disappointing.22.What can we learn about the authors father？A.He likes to get to the bottom of things.B.He likes to criticize others works.C.He lacks confidence in himself.D.He is not good at writing23.What did the author learn from the cooperation with his father？A.Cooperation leads to a better product.B.Its important to make a plan before work.第 4页，共 11页C.Communicate more when there is an argument.D.Its worthwhile to work with someone close to you.BInterviewing is one of those skills that you can only get better at.You will never again feel so ill atease as when you try it for the first time，youll probably never feel entirely comfortable trying to getfrom another person answers that he or she may be too shy to.But at least half of the skill ismechanical.The rest is instinct（天赋），which can all be learned with experience.The basic tools for an interview are paper and two or three well-sharpened pencils.But keep yournotebook or paper out of sight until you need it.Theres nothing less likely to relax a person than thearrival of someone with a note-taking pad Both of you need time to get to know each other.Take a whilejust to chat，judging what sort of person youre dealing with，getting him or her to trust you.Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can.If you are interviewing atown official，know his voting recordIf its an actor，know what plays he has been in.You will not beliked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questionsand have no right to inquire about his personal secrets.The fear is almost 100 percent unnecessary.Unlessthe person really hates being interviewed，he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him.Most men and women lead lives that are uninteresting，and they grasp any chance to talk to anoutsider who seems eager to listen.This doesnt necessarily mean that it will go well.In general you will be talking to people who havenever been interviewed before，and they will get used to the process（程序）awkwardly（笨拙地），perhaps not giving you anything that you can use.Come back another day；it will go better.You will botheven begin to enjoy itproof that you arent forcing your victim to do something he doesnt really wantto.24.The word reveal could best be replaced byA.askB.lookC.giveD.question25.According to the passage，during an interview notebooks or paper should.A.never be usedB.be used only when necessaryC.be kept at homeD.be given to the interviewer26.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that most men and women.A.like being interviewedB.fear to speak to outsidersC.hate being interviewedD.are afraid to meet interviewers27.According to the passage，if a person being interviewed is too uneasy to give you anything useful，what should you do？第 5页，共 11页A.Give him or her a bad score.B.Arrange another interview.C.Wait until he or she calms down.D.Try to make him or her trust you.CThousands of brave souls have adventured into the Rocky Mountains for the past decade，searchingfor a treasure box filled with gold，diamonds and other valuables.But that adventure has finally come toan end.The treasure has been found.Forrest Fenn，the 89-year-old art and antique collector who createdthe treasure hunt，made the announcement Sunday on his website.It was in the thick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid itmore than 10 years ago，Fenn wrote in his announcement.I do not know the person who found it，butthe poem in my book led him to the exact spot.The treasure was found a few days ago by a man whodid not want to be named.The man was from back East.He acknowledged his discovery by sendingFenn a photograph of his newfound riches.The treasure，worth over million，was a way for Fenn to encourage people to explore nature andgive hope to people affected by the Great Recession.Clues leading to the treasures location wereincluded in a 24-line poem published in Fenns 2010 autobiography The Thrill of the Chase.It isestimated that as many as 350，000 people from all over the world went hunting for the treasure.Somequit their jobs to fully devote their lives to the hunt and some even died.I congratulate the thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continueto be drawn by the promise of other discoveries，Fenn said on his website.28.What did the man want to do by sending a photograph to Fenn？_A.Claim the reward.B.Convey great thanks.C.Confirm the discovery.D.Make

beans，you have processed food in yourfridge.Frozen vegetables are processed，even if you picked the vegetables from your garden，blanched（焯水）them and put them in the fridge.The moment you blanched them，you processed them.When wesay we shouldnt eat processed foods，what we really mean is ultra-processed foods.What are ultra-processed foods？If I made flatbread at home，I would make it with materials likeflour，yeast，milk，butter and salt.I keep whole-grain flatbread in my freezer because it quickly.Healthymeals for sure.But I normally buy them from the grocery store，and while the bread I buy containsalmost the same materials as a homemade version，it also includes the dextrose，type of sugar，and someother additives.Then it can be called an ultra-processed one.If we ate ultra-processed foods only occasionally，it wouldnt be as big of a problem.However，researchers indicated that almost 58%of the calories Americans consume are from ultra-processedfoods.A study found people who increased their daily intake of ultra-processed food by 10%increasedtheir risk of developing overall cancer by 12%and breast cancer by 11%.While the study didnt identify the exact reason why ultra-processed foods cause a higher risk ofcancer，researchers did have several theories.One theory is that the foods contain high levels of salt，sugar and fat.Those materials have been linked to overweight，which can also lead to a greater risk ofcancer.A second theory is that some ultra-processed foods contain certain additives that lead tocancers.Also another theory is high temperatures used to process the food can create newly formedpollutant.Finally，bpa（Bisphenol A）（双酚 A）is commonly used in food packaging and can leakinto the food.While further studies are needed to know the exact reasons why ultra-processed foods can havesuch an impact on health，its safe to say that the consequences of eating them outweigh the benefits.32.Which of the following is an ultra-processed food？A.Organic dried beans.B.Frozen vegetables.C.Flatbread from stores.D.Homemade flatbread.33.What does the underlined word deteriorates in Paragraph 2 mean？A.Breaks out.B.Goes bad.C.Gets round.D.Runs out.34.What can we learn from Paragraph 4？A.All the additives in the food can cause deadly diseases.B.Food package will not be a constant matter of concern for us.C.Reasons for cancers caused by ultra-processed foods are definite.D.Too much sugar，salt，and fat contribute to overweight，and even cancers.35.Whats the authors attitude to the ultra-processed food？A.Disapproving.B.Neutral.C.Supportive.D.Unconcerned.第 7页，共 11页第二节(共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。Master Your DeadlinesThe struggle begins in high school,sometimes earlier.Deadlines,and lots of them,start to pile up.At college,the pressure sometimes leads to last-minute rush and unsatisfactory work.At work,failing tomeet deadlines can easily get you fired.(36)Here are a few best practices.Assign deadlines to what matters.If the task isnt of high importance,dont set a specific deadline.In this way,you are able tokeep it on your radar for a while without feeling pressured.(37)This will provide just enoughpressure to ensure you get it done.(38)Set a personal deadline for yourself a day or two before the actual deadline.(39)If youreworking with a group of people,add in even more time to account for potential follow-ups and the needfor approvals.Keep communicating.(40)This means letting others know when something is taking longer than expected,when a delivery didnt come in,when a client is not providing the necessary information,etc.Althoughit may feel embarrassing to admit that something is not on schedule,being honest is much better forrelieving your stress.A.Plan for flexible hours.B.Finish your project as early as possible.C.But if an activity is urgent,set a deadline immediately.D.In this way,youll never have to stay up late and feel stressed.E.But handled properly,deadlines can actually improve productivity.F.Whenever you feel challenged to finish work on time,communicate.G.So if anything takes longer than expected,you can still wrap it up and submit it on time.36.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G37.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G38.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G39.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G40.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分 30
