项。When I was 14, life felt dull and boring. I didn’t really care
to notice the differences among the students in my school. But th
is dull view of mine changed when my parents bought me a 13 for
Christmas.Even though I didn’t know anything about photography,
I showed great interest in the new 14 . I kept taking photos fo
r different people around me and plants in the field.Then after a
month, I realized I had no 15 for taking pictures. My photos
were clearly missing something of importance and lacked originali
ty (创意). Soon, I became so 16 with my lack of artistic talent
that I quit my new hobby.During the summer vacation, I went for a
walk on the railroad track behind my house. The tracks are a war
m red color. It’s an amazing sight to see. Before the walk, I tho
ught, “Maybe I should bring my camera”, which hadn’t been touched
for weeks.Surprisingly, this walk on the tracks has 17 my lov
e for photography. When I was walking on the train tracks without
a model to photograph and only nature around me, I 18 how imp
ortant it was to look at the details of things. I didn’t worry ab
out trying to create something beautiful. Instead, I just capture
d (捕捉) photos of the beauty already around me.After months of stu
dying outdoor scenes, watching shadows and staring at people’s ey
es — I was finally able to 19 beauty of my own. So far, my wor
k has been published in two small magazines and showed in two art
galleries. They are important to me because they are signs of ho
w much my artistic abilities have grown: I went from zero artisti
c talent to being published. And my photos have become something
I was 20 of.Thanks to this Christmas gift from my parents, I n
ow have a new way of looking at the world. 13. A. cameraB. comput

ampOnce there was a poor lady who lived on a hill near the seasho
re. She had no children and lived a lonely life. She was so poor
that she had to work hard every day. But one night as she sat at
her work, the lady said to herself while the winds blew, “I wish
I could be of some use in the world. Why can’t I do good to someo
ne besides myself?” At last, she came up with an idea.She decided
that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors
every night. She found that ships sometimes were broken up on th
e rocks in the sea, since there was no lighthouse to warn them of
their danger at night. Maybe her lamp would warn them when their
ships came near the rocks on the coast. The lady felt glad when
the thought flashed through her mind. She found that, if she work
ed an hour later each night, she could earn enough to pay for the
oil for the lamp. So she worked late and earned money to buy the
oil; and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In t
his way she saved many lives.She did this for five years without
reward, or the hope of reward. However, good deeds (行为) are often
found out. The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send
gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China
, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. But t
he poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave
many of them to the poor and the sick.She was happy with the tho
ught that she was doing good. So, as long as she lived, she lit h
er lamp each night, and placed it at the window.24. The lady deci
ded to light the lamp for _______.A. the sickB. the childrenC. th
e poorD. the sailors25. How could the lady pay for the lamp oil?A
. She worked one more hour each night.B. She raised money from th
e sailors. C. She got rewards from her country.D. She sold tea an
d grapes to others.26. The lady was happy because ________.A. she
got gifts from faraway countriesB. she helped many people in her
wayC. the sailors gave gifts to the sickD. the sailors found out
her deedsCWhether we admit it or not, many of us have experience
d loneliness. Last month, a survey done by US health service comp
any Cigna found that loneliness has become a common situation in
the country. It even found that young people aged 18-22 are more
likely to feel lonely than the elders. Loneliness often leads to
the emotions of sadness and loss, and can even “make us sick”. So
, how do we deal with the pain of loneliness?Throwing ourselves i
nto distractions can be useful. US lifestyle writer Adrienne Brea
ux wrote about how she turned loneliness into a productive learni
ng process. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneline
ss hit her, she would buy a lot of ingredients and try out how to
make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became
good at cooking dishes she’d never even made before.This is a typ
ical example of how loneliness gets us out of our comfort zone an
d allows us to grow. “When it comes to keeping loneliness at bay
(控制住) , one of the best ways is to occupy your time with things t
hat feel enriching, creative and exciting.” Breaux wrote, “It’s h
ard to feel lonely when you’re trying to master a new skill, prac
tice a hobby or try out a new recipe.” The attitude we choose tow
ard loneliness is also the key to deal with it. If we see lonelin
ess as an unwanted and annoying thing, we will suffer it. But if
we admit that it’s an everyday part of life, we’ll be able to “em
brace (拥抱) the beauty of our solo journey”, as best-selling US au
thor Mandy Hale wrote in her book The Single Woman.Instead of des
perately (拼命地) finding someone to talk to or go out with, trying
to have fun on our own is more practical. US Internet writer Kayl
a Albert shared a story of her friend, who uses her time alone to
do what she really wants to do. Her friend goes out for dinner,
watches movies, and visits art museums — all on her own. She clai
ms that this kind of single lifestyle brings her joyfulness and g
racefulness.So, we can do it too. Indeed, sometimes, the best son
gs are the ones performed alone.27. The survey from Cigna in Para
graph 1 tells _______.A. when people might experience lonelinessB
. how common the problem of loneliness is C. how people deal wit
h the pain from lonelinessD. what kind of people might suffer fro
m loneliness28. What was Adrienne Breaux’s solution when loneline
ss hit her?A. To keep herself in the comfort zone.B. To get a new
job being a good cook.C. To spend time for self-improvement.D. T
o relax by writing her lonely feeling.29. What can we learn from
the passage?A. Going out with friends is better than staying alon
e.B. The key to solve loneliness is to accept and enjoy it.C. The
pain of loneliness gets worse as people get older. D. Seeing lo
neliness as an unwanted thing helps us avoid it.DNo one wants to
work at a messy desk and look lazy or sloppy. But does a messy de
sktop actually make you either of those things? Not all disorders
mean you’re out of control. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal
charm came from his messy desktop. People who prefer a messy des
k have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable. A t
oo-tidy room can sometimes make them uncomfortable, because it se
ems there is no place to rest their feet. Some believe it helps t
hem concentrate more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to f
ocus on the tasks, just like some novelists can write patiently i
n a noisy café. Others may be perfectionists. For those who striv
e for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% performed. Therefor
e, they usually put away the less important things and perform th
e most important ones perfectly, which leads to paper mountains o
n the desktop. Many people are labeled as “sloppy” and “inefficie
nt” because of messy tabletops. However, when we see the desks of
Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mark Zuckerberg — pioneers of th
eir times — things might change. Obviously, the world embraces un
iformity and order; it also never refuses regular disorder, which
seems like a mess but runs in an organized way.In an experiment
done by psychologist Kathleen Vohs, participants (参与者) were asked
to come up with new uses for ping-pong balls. Both participants
in the messy and clean offices created the same number of ideas.
However, those in the messy room came up with more interesting an
d creative ideas. People who don’t keep a neat and tidy desktop c
an actually develop organizational skills and manage work and tho
ughts successfully, even while swamped in (淹没于) piles of books, n
otes and documents. In spite of great disorder, a messy desktop p
resents information clearly, which can sometimes inspire us uncon
sciously (无意识地).?Research has found people working with a messy d
esktop are more likely to be creative and willing to take risks,
while people with a tidy one tend to follow the rules and are les
s likely to try new things. Vohs says, “Disorderly environments s
eem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fres
h insights.” But a messy desk might not be ideal all the time. Wh
en you need new ideas, a messy desk might be a good choice; but w
hen you want to be efficient (高效的) and perform a task successfull
y, it seems better to make a desk clean and tidy.No matter what k
ind of desk you prefer, we hope you feel comfortable and enjoy it

、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）IG, a Chinese esports club, won the
world championship title in LOL (League of Legends) in 2018. It b
eat European team 3:0 in South Korea. It was the first time that
a club from China’s LPL (League of Legends Pro League) won the ti
tle in the world championship’s eight-year history. So what is es
ports?Esports (Electronic Sports) is a form of competition using
video games between professional players. It is not only a simple
game in a sense, but a sport in which players use electronic equ
ipment to play against each other in intelligence. It can improve
the players’ thinking ability, heart-to-eye coordination (协调), w
illpower and develop team spirit. In 2003, esports became the 99t
h sport in China. However, esports is different from traditional
sports and online games. Traditional sports athletes mainly train
their physical ability and skills, such as muscle memory, exerci
sing and dieting; while esports athletes’ training is mostly abou
t the mind, such as studying strategies (策略) and new updates for
the game.The industry has been developed for more than 10 years,
but the public usually hold the opinion that playing online games
has no benefit but taking one’s attention away from their duties
. In fact, there are several differences between esports and onli
ne games：First, the basic features. Online games are entertainmen
t games while esports is a sport. Esports is an intellectual comp
etition between people in an organized environment created by inf
ormation technology.Second, the game rules. Esports has clear gam
e rules. Its biggest feature is strict time and round limitations
. However, online games are lack of clear rules of the game. With
out time limit, it’s easy for people especially teenagers to be a
ddicted to (沉迷于) it.Third, the sports spirit. Esports competition
s between athletes pay great attention to fair sports spirit. Som
e online games only need to recharge (充钱) to gain advantages, whi
ch is the main difference between esports and online games.In the
upcoming 2022 Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, esports will o
fficially become a medal event. Esports is a new sporting activit
y. It will take a long time to grow into a mature industry like N
BA (the National Basketball Association of the US). Let’s have a
better understanding of esports and expect its bright future.Whic
