left him with a 99.8%chance of developing cancer of the digestive system.At age 19,right after finishing high-school,Juan underwent a tough operation to take away his colon and rectum.Sadly,it was only the beginning.By age 28,Juans disease had affected his stomach and gallbladder so he had to go under the knife again.Having just recovered from several serious surgeries,Juan Dual decided to accept the invitation of some friends of his parents and travel to Japan.It was there that things started to change for the better.He didnt speak a word of Japanese,so he spent most of his time walking his dog.One day,the dog pulled harder,and Juan realized that he was still able to jog,and he started to do just that.Months later,he found himself working in a small,peaceful town in England.There was little in terms of entertainment,but the town was surrounded by hills,so he devoted even more of his time to running.He befriended some like-minded folks and told them what hed been through,and they seemed amazed at the fact that he was still alive,let alone that he was pushing himself to exercise.Thats when the idea of focusing on motivating others took root in his mind.With the help of Pepa,a nutritionist,Juan Dual slowly relearned how to eat to keep his energy level high enough to sustain him during physical activity.Eight months after his last operation,he finished the Barcelona half marathon in two hours.He then started training for mountain running and ultra-marathons.4.Why does Juan Dual say he is empty inside?A.Because he has no desire for anything.B.Because he doesnt have much knowledge.C.Because he always suffers from great hunger.D.Because many of his organs have been removed.5.What made Juan Dual aware that he could still run?A.His parents support.B.A walk with his dog.C.The idea of challenging himself.D.His quick recovery from surgeries.6.When did Juan Dual decide to inspire others with his story?A.After finishing the Barcelona half marathon.B After being introduced to a nutritionist named Pepa.C.After sharing it with his friends in an English town.D.After making friends with people with similar sufferings.7.Which of the following words can best describe Juan Dual?A.Ambitious and intelligent.B.Inspiring and responsible.C.Unfortunate but determined.D.Confident but stubborn.C In this day and age,there seems to be a move towards secondary school subjects.For that reason,some parents and some students feel that the compulsory study of English literature is misguided and disadvantageous to students,particularly if they are second language learners of English.However,there are still good reasons for the study of English literature.Students of English language sometimes fail to see the point of studying English literature,especially if they have no plans to study English or translation at university.But English literature can introduce students to a range of aspects,not only of the English language but also the culture of English-speaking countries.There are aspects of English culture that are summarised by English literature.Of course,this is quite obvious when studying the works of Shakespeare or of writers,poets and playwrights of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.It is,however,also true when studying other works of English literature.Students can learn about good stories and references to different aspects of English culture.They can also learn the context and meanings of famous quotes and phrases.Studying literature does not confine the students to the traditions ofEnglandbut includes the possibility of introducing them to traditions which inform English literature,such as the study of Ancient Greek drama,and to literature in other contexts,such as American literature.An enjoyment and appreciation of literature will give students the ability to develop this into an interest in books and reading as they move away from their studies and into the adult lives.They will have the confidence to approach and cope with new forms of books and writing,since they were exposed to a range of literature during their school days.When studying literature,students can learn not only language aspects such as vocabulary items but also the language aspects which can be used for specific purposes.For example,if the students are familiar with the concepts of beat and rhythm of English poems,they can improve their own writing as they are able to appreciate and apply these ideas.Finally,the study of literature can provide students with a fresh and creative angle,from which the students can approach their studies in particular and their lives in general.So the next time you are reading a newspaper article complaining of the lack of creativity and initiative in the local workforce,remember that in a small way the study of English literature can help to add a refreshing and further dimension to a persons life.8.The author may agree that the study of English literature_.A.has a long-lasting influence on students B.is misguided and has more disadvantages C.is not necessary for second language learners D.only allows the students to learn the traditions ofEngland 9.We can learn from the passage that _.A.schools fail to care about students needs B.learning English literature makes students smarter C.English culture is closely related to English literature D.the more you read literary works,the more you complain 10.Whats the authors attitude towards the study of English literature?A.Critical.B.Cautious.C.Supportive.D.Anxious.11.Whats the best title of the passage?A.Parents and Students Demands B.Why We Learn English Literature C.English Culture and English Literature D.Suitable Courses for Secondary Schools D Many teens may feel anxious sometimes.Its the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test.We spend more time online than we should.We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media.Young people are developing a false view of life.On the screen,we see what people want to show us.People usually only post photos where they are looking their best.They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time.No one seems sad or lonely.In short,life isfabulous.But sooner or later,our young people compare their real life to it.They find that theirs doesnt seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students.Its reported that a lot more college students feel overwhelming anxiety.The percentage jumped from 50%in 2011 to 62%in 2016.Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country.It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.Certainly,we cant blame it on social media alone.We expect toomuch from our children and a lot of these expectations arent reasonable.Their schedules are packed with sports,clubs and homework.They dont have enough free time.We want our children to succeed,and we dont care how much it costs.As parents,we must have more balance.On one hand,we push too hard,and on the other hand,we make life too easy for children.We shouldnt and cant promise our children that they will always be happy.We shouldnt try to protect them from the problems of everyday life.Let them solve the problems in person.12.What is the text mainly about?A.What causes teens nervousness.B.How to deal with teens anxiety.C.What a view of life means to people.D.How to treat social media appropriately.13.What does the underlined word“fabulous”in paragraph 2 mean?A.Wonderful.B.Encouraging.C.Anxious.D.Doubtful.14.Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?A.To draw teachers attention.B.To show teachers mental problems.C.To present the seriousness of teens anxiety.D.To show adults have more problems than teens.15.What should parents do to help their children out?A.Try to meet their expectations.B.Help them with their homework.C.Give them more free time to play sports.D.Allow them to solve their own problems in life.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
