make the passage coherent and grammaticallycorrect.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form o f the given word;for the otherblanks,use one word that best fits each blank.A new study show that the better your short-term memory i s,2 1(fast)you feel fed up and decideyouve had enough.The finding appear in the Journal of Consumer Research.Noelle Nelson,assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School ofBusiness.She and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried_2 2(think)at verydifferent rates.When you think about pop songs on the radio,some people must still be of those same songs.Thedifference,the researchers s u p p o s e d,23 have to do with memories of past consumption.The researchers tested the memory capacity of undergraduates.The students then viewed a repeating series ofthree classic paintings like The Starry Night,American Gothic,and The Scream or listened and re-listenedto a series of three pop songs or three pieces of classical music.Throughout the test,the participants wereasked to rate their experience 24_a scale of zero to ten.We found that people with larger capacitiesremembered more about the music or art,which led to them getting tired of music or art more quickly.So2 5(remember)more details actually made the participants feel like theyd experienced the music or artmore often.The findings suggest that marketers could cope with our desire for their products by figuring outways to distract us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences.We could also trick 26_intoeating less junk food by recalling the experience of a previous snack.As for kids easily_2 7(bore),justtell them to forget about it it might help them have more fun.Clearly if we are to participate in the society 2 8 we live,we must communicate withother people.A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means ofspeech.2 9 we travel in buses,buy things in shops,or eat in restaurants,we are likely to haveconversations_30 we give information or opinions,receive news or comment and very likely have ourviews challenged by other members of society.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Notethat there is one word more than you need.A.flexible B.function C.self-image D.fairly E.initiative F.valuedG.capable H.pattern I.short-lived J.accomplished K.remarkablyFamily problems come in all shapes and sizes;some a re 31 and easily managed,while others aremore chronic and difficult to handle.Stress points include events such as illness and injury,changing jobs,changing schools,moving and financial difficulties.Each family develops its own ways of coping with thesestresses,some of which work better than others.Unsuccessful coping can be recognized by a number ofcharacteristics,including the following:This usually occurs because family members avoid discussing problems or even avoid admitting thatproblems exist.Some families just have not learned the skills of negotiating or,for some other reason,cannot letgo of bad or hurt feelings.Children are likely to 32 their behaviour after their parents5 behaviour andmay learn to refuse to talk about feelings and problems.Families often have not decided how family responsibilities will be divided among family members.Whenthat happens,family life can become chaotic,and many things do not g et 3 3.At the other extreme,somefamilies are n o t 34_ at all,and family members do not help one another out o r 35 reassignresponsibilities as family circumstances change.Families are,especially for children,the most important source of emotional support.During the middleyears,children find it hard to obtain this emotional support outside the family.Children do not perform or developwell without this support.Families 36 best when the individuality of each family member is acknowledged and appreciated.At the least,even if someone elses personal traits or characteristics are not highly 3 7,each familymember needs to tolerate these traits and respect that individual.Otherwise children are likely to have a difficulttime developing a healthy 3 8,and they will have low self-esteem（自 尊）and poor social skills.Children need to succeed in order to feel_39 of successfully managing lifes stresses and challenges.If they are taught or encouraged to rely on others（within the family or outside it）to solve their problems,they willhave low self-esteem and lack 40 and will have trouble succeeding in the world.III.Reading Comprehension（4 1-5 5题，每 题 1 分；56-70题，每 题 2分；共 45分）Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill ineach blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Fitness apps such as Strava can be useful tools for motivating you to start and stick to an exercise plan.But,according to a study at the National University of Ireland,Galway,these apps can make people become_41_to exercise.The study,which observed 272 cyclists who use Strava,found that people who mainlyuse the tool to show o f f,4 2,posting their exercise to receive praise,are more likely to develop anunhealthy desire and high stress levels.It seems obvious that being able to track and share the tiniest details of your exercise may not always be a(n)43 thing.I had an eating disorder as a teenager and,for a very unhappy t i m e,44 dominatedmy life.I weighed myself several times a day.I calculated everything from how many calories were in one bite ofan apple to how many extra calories I would 4 5 by exercising in cold weather.I used in-braincalculating technology to track all this.Had I had access to the health apps available now,it would have taken memuch longer t o 4 6-not only because these kinds of tools enable obsessive(强 迫 性 的)behaviour,butbecause they 47 and even glorify it.We live in an age when you can never be too rich or too 48_.Calorie-counting is now celebrated as adata-driven route to self-improvement.It i s _49_to spot the symptoms associated with eating disorderswhen everyone seems to get hooked on their fitness statistics.Also,because eating and exercise disorders are stillassociated with women,it is particularly easy for problematic behaviour among men to fly under the radar.The negative connection between these technologies and wellbeing has received 50 attention.Onlya handful of studies hint at the dark side of these devices.A 2019 study of female Fitbit users by CNN,forinstance,found that 59%felt as if their routines w ere 51 by their device,while 30%said their Fitbitmade them feel guilty.A 2015 study at Duke University found that tracking can reduce 52 in the activitybeing quantified and make people do less of that activity when they are not measuring it.Going for a long bikeride can cease to be an enjoyment in itself but an achievement to _53 about online.Fitness apps themselves are not a bad thing.5 4,as health-tracking technology becomesincreasingly common-even kids use fitness apps-it is important to be aware that 55 every aspect ofour lives is not necessarily healthy.41.A.accustomed B.addicted C.blind D.grateful42.A.in practice B.above all C.for example D.in brief43.A.annoying B.positive C.strange

reduced risk of death from heart disease among people on low incomes.And theybelieve their findings suggest peanuts may be a cost-effective measure to improve cardiovascular（心 血 管）healthbecause they are so cheap.However,experts heeded today that salt-covered nuts would not have the same health benefits.Nuts are rich innutrients and peanuts,although classified as one bean,have nutrients similar to tree nuts.The new study,led by Dr Xiao-Ou Shu,of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine,Tennessee,analysedvarious groups of people.One involved 72,000 low-income black and white men and women living in the US,theother 134,000 men and women living in Shanghai,China.In both groups,men ate more peanuts than women.In theUS group,about half of the nuts consumed were peanuts,and in the Chinese group only peanut consumption wasconsidered.The researchers found that overall,eating nuts reduced the risk of death from heart disease.This was regardlessof gender,race,body condition,smoking,alcohol consumption and conditions such as diabetes（糖 尿 病），high bloodpressure and obesity.In the US,the highest consumption resulted in a risk reduction of 21 percent.In the Chinese group,it was 17percent.Dr Shu said:We observed no significant associations between nut or peanut consumption and risk of deathdue to cancer and diabetes.She added the findings highlight the large public health impact of nut or peanutconsumption in lowering deaths from heart disease-especially for their affordability.The research was published inJAMA Internal Medicine.Dr Mitchell Katz,deputy editor of the journal,added:Of course,peanuts are not really nuts-they are legumessince they grow in bushes,unlike tree nuts.But who cares if they help us to live longer at an affordable price?56.Peanuts are considered very useful in improving heart health mainly b e c a u s e.A.nuts are rate B.people can afford to buy peanutsC.peanuts are peoples favorite D.peanuts and nuts are the same57.In paragraph 2,the underlined
