The results were announced on the World Book and Copyright Day. Awards from the National Library of China were given to 10 winning books from about 80 finalists 【2】(choose) by 14 top librarians and scholars.

The award has three categories: humanities, popular sciences and children’s books. Half the winners this year dealt with different 【4】(aspect) of traditional Chinese culture. The mixing of social and physical sciences was a trend, and the winning children’s books were 【5】(suit) for adult readers too.
“Many good children's books 【6】(introduce) into China from other countries in recent years. They helped broaden people's horizons and inspired 【7】(we)writing,” said Yu Hongcheng, author of the award-winning Dishes on Plate. “ However, 【8】worries me that Chinese children may not have enough self-confidence from a cultural viewpoint when exposed to a market【9】( main) filled with translations.” That concern encouraged her to create the picture book, which focuses 【10】 Chinese agricultural culture- starting with rice, a foundation of Chinese cuisine.

这是一篇新闻报道。从第十二届文津图书奖的结果看,关于中国传统文化的高质量的图书越来越多。今年一半的获奖者都写的是不同方面的中国传统文化,社会学和物理学的混合也成了一种趋势。
【1】考查现在分词作状语。句意:从第十二届文津图书奖的结果看,关于中国传统文化的高质量的图书越来越多。根据句意,这个结论是我们从第十二届文津图书奖的结果角度来看的,所以我们与judge之间是主动关系,用现在分词作状语,故填judging。
【2】考查过去分词作定语。句意:中国国家图书馆的奖被授予从80个最后入围作品中选出来的10本获奖的书,这80个入围作品是被14个图书馆馆长和学者选出来的。80 finalists与choose之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填chosen。
【3】考查定语从句。句意:在那之前,已经在去年中国出版的1800图书中进行了几次筛选。这是一个定语从句,先行词为books,指物,并且先行词在从句中作主语,所以关系词使用that或which。故填that/which。
【4】考查名词的数。句意:今年一半的获奖者涉及的是中国传统文化的不同方面。Aspect意为“方面”,为可数名词,因为其前有different(不同的)修饰,所以空格处填名词的复数形式。故填aspects。
【5】考查形容词。句意:社会科学和物理科学的融合是一种趋势,并且获奖的儿童类图书也是适合成人读者读的。空格处单词位于be动词后作表语,所以应使用形容词。“suit(适合)”的形容词为suitable(适合的),故填suitable。
【6】考查现在完成时的被动语态。句意:近几年很多好的儿童书被从其它国家引进到中国。根据句中的“in recent years(在最近的几年内)”可知,这句话应用现在完成时。根据句意,句子主语Many good children’s books与introduce之间是被动关系,所以这句话应用被动语态。句子主语使用的名词的复数,表达复数意义,所以谓语动词也应使用相应的复数形式。故填have been introduced。
【7】考查物主代词。句意:它们开阔了我们的视野,鼓舞了我们的写作。空格处单词位于动词后,名词性质的词前,括号内给出的是人称代词,所以空格处填物主代词形式。故填our。
【8】考查主语从句。句意:然而,让我担心的是,当置身于主要是翻译作品的市场中时,中国的孩子没有足够的文化角度的自信。这是一个主语从句,真正的主语是that Chinese children may not have enough self-confidenc…从句,所以空格处应填形式主语,故填it。
【9】考查副词。句意同上。空格处单词修饰动词filled,所以使用副词形式。故填mainly。
【10】考查介词。句意:这个担心鼓励她创造这本图画水,这本书主要集中于中国农业文化---从中国烹饪的基石米开始。“集中于……”应翻译为focus on/upon…,为固定搭配。故填on/upon。

【题目】 Picasso paintings regularly sell for millions of dollars, making it unlikely that the majority of art lovers will ever own a work by the famous Spanish painter. But Care International, a Paris-based nonprofit is offering individuals around the world the chance to acquire a Picasso original for just $111 and contributes to a worthy cause at the same time.
As Caroline Elbaor reports for artnet News, Aider les Autres is offering tickets for Nature Morte, a 1921 Picasso painting describing a newspaper and a glass of absinthe(苦艾酒). The painting, which is on display at the Picasso Museum in Paris, has been valued at SI. I million. But one lucky winner will be able to obtain the painting for a mere small amount of that price.
By selling the Picasso painting at an extremely discounted rate, Aider les Autres hopes to raise a lot of money for Care International. Around 200, 000 rale tickets (抽奖券)are available for purchase, meaning the organization will be able to raise up to $22 million. Some of the money will be used to buy the painting and cover other costs, but the majority will be donated to the charity.
Care International plans to use the donated money to build and restore wells, washing facilities and toilets in Cameroon, Madagascar and Morocco. Having easy access to clean water not only reduces the risk of water borne diseases, but also reduces the time that people and particularly women and girls have to spend walking to clean water sources.
“Besides the huge waste of time, women and girls are at risk as they walk alone along remote paths and tracks,” Aider les Autres explains. “Girls are also more likely to miss school because of lack of hygiene (卫生). By providing clean water, we will increase girls' attendance by many thousands.”
【1】Where are art lovers likely to get a Picasso original at a very low price?
A.From the lucky winner.B.From Caroline Elbaor.
C.From the Picasso Museum.D.From Care International.
【2】What will most money from raffle tickets be used to do?
A.Buy tickets for art overs.
B.Buy the painting Nature Morte.
C.Contribute to charitable projects.
D.Give away to the lucky winner.
【3】Why will Care International build wells in Morocco?
A.To promote its status.B.To store more clean water.
C.To improve people’s health.D.To increase girls 'learning time.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A personal diary.B.A news report.
C.A book review.D.A science fiction novel.

【题目】 Claire Lomas, who broke her back in horse-riding accident, has raised over £575,000 for charity through a number of events, and became the first person to complete a marathon in her ReWalk Suit—a robotic exoskeleton that enables her to walk.
In her latest challenge, Lomas continued throughout the day and night without sleep to walk the race in Portsmouth with the aid of the suit and pair of crutches.
She was met with cheers and applause as she crossed the line, having posted regular updates on Twitter as she battled wind and rain.
Lomas said the fact that this was her first long-distance race without stopping meant “it was a little bit unknown” whether she could finish, and added that she was “really grateful to everyone that supported me... I had a few tears.”
At the halfway stage, Lomas remained in high spirits and posted video of herself singing Bon Jovi’s Livin’ on a Prayer. And she showed the exhausting effects of the race with a mile to go when she tweeted: “Help me get to the last mile as I’m so tired.”
Her effort has so far raised more than £4,000 for the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation. After collecting her award, she said, “My accident was 10 years ago in May. When I think back to that first year or two I would have loved for someone to tell me what the future had in store—back then, everything felt so bleak with so many dark days. I forced myself to take small opportunities and they have led on to bigger things. It has taken a lot of small little steps to get here.”
【1】What do we know about Claire Lomas?
A.She failed to reach the end.B.She got injured in a marathon.
C.She walked the race with a special suit.D.She earned £575,000 for herself in the race.
【2】What did Claire Lomas say about the race?
A.She was unwilling to take part in it.B.She believed that she could complete it.
C.She had confidence in winning an award.D.She felt uncertain about the result of the race.
【3】What does the underlined word “bleak” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Special.B.Hopeless.
C.Interesting.D.Unnecessary.
【4】What can we learn from Claire Lomas’s experience?
A.Every dog has its day.B.Charity begins at home.
C.Many hands make light work.D.Every cloud has a silver lining.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly 【1】 (benefit) to your physical and mental health. So far, research 【2】 (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show 【3】 (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people 【4】 (feel) more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something 【5】 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an 【6】 (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in 【7】 same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 【8】(accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look 【9】the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to 【10】(you) from that person’s point of view.

【题目】 Stephen Hawking was both one of the world's most famous scientists and most famous disabled people. His life was a juxtaposition of sparkling intellect and failing body. Prof Hawking was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone(运动神经元) diseases when he was 21.
The nerves that controlled his muscles were failing and he became trapped in his body, but his mind was still free. He reached the height of his field while being a wheelchair user.
Professor Hawking certainly raised awareness of motor neurone diseases. One of his major contributions to disability in general was simply being visible---often at a time when disabled voices were missing from popular culture. He made small-screen appearances on The Simpsons, Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory. His life was dramatised (将…改成剧本)by the BBC and in the film The Theory of Everything.
Steve Bell, from the MND association, said: "He was probably the most famous person with a physical disability and it almost normalises it to see his absolute genius. I think it affected a lot of people, seeing he's more than a trapped body. The public's view of disability has changed.
But Prof Hawking’s life was exceptional. He lived five decades longer than doctors expected. Many others with motor neurone diseases die in the years after diagnosis. He was a theoretical physicist. His laboratory was in the mind; his scientific equipment was mathematics.
Prof Hawking was able to continue to pursue his career in a way that would have been much harder in other scientific disciplines and impossible in many other professions. It remains an open question how much he would have achieved if he was disabled from birth rather than after graduating with a first at Oxford. Today, disabled people are more than twice as likely to be unemployed than people without disability. Prof Hawking 's only advice on disability was to focus on what could be achieved. "My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don 't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically,” he said in an interview with the New York Times.
【1】What does the underlined word juxtaposition in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Combination.B.Trouble.
C.Difficulty.D.Mess.
【2】How did Hawking raise awareness of motor neurone diseases?
A.By trying not to get trapped by the disease.
B.By making the voice of the disabled heard.
C.By making people be used to the small screen.
D.By working for the BBC and film companies.
【3】What did Steve Bell think of Hawking?
A.He was the most well-known person.
B.He was affected greatly by many people.
C.He changed people's view of disabled people.
D.His physical disability affected his mind.
【4】What's Hawking’ s tip to disabled people?
A.Try to find a job and don't be unemployed.
B.Don't ignore your health.
C.Stick to the goals that you can reach.
D.Don’t think you are physically disabled.

【题目】 While enjoying good incomes, physicians suffer from a lack of time. Between scheduled clinical work and being on call, it’s common to have only one full day off in seven. Not surprisingly, it’s far too easy to spend that entire day just trying to do the boring tasks for yourself and your family.
The good news, however, is that new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that many professionals can increase their happiness by using their incomes to buy back some of that lost time through the use of time-saving services such as housecleaners or online personal assistants.
Study authors Ashley Whillans and Elizabeth Dunn found that when people spend money on such services, happiness improves. Their findings suggest that “using money to buy time may provide benefits by serving as a buffer(缓冲器)against the harmful effects of time pressure on overall life satisfaction”.
Spending money on a big purchase, such as an expensive car, can feel good and serve as a reward for having worked so hard. Research has consistently shown, however, that the gains from such material purchases are short lived. Instead, buying back time and then using it to go after meaningful activities is more likely to result in long-term gains in well-being.
There are the obvious tasks that have been outsourced(外包)for decades,such as house cleaning or meal preparation. In my own physician coaching practice, it amazes me how many of my physician clients do not take full advantage of these classic opportunities to save time, particularly meal services. When your time is worth well over $100 to 200 an hour, how could you NOT pay another person far less than that to do the job better than you would do it yourself?
Regaining a couple of hours on your only day off can change your well-being. How different would you feel if you had a few more hours to spend quality time with other people, improve your health, or try a new hobby?
【1】Which of the following is true according to this passage?
A.Physicians often do boring tasks for their family.
B.Time pressure often has effects on life satisfaction.
C.Physician clients never use time-saving services.
D.People all should regain time to change their well-being.
【2】What will lead to long-term gains in well-being?
A.Meal preparation.B.Earning high incomes.
C.Buying expensive materials.D.Spending quality time with family.
【3】What is the author?
A.A physician coach.B.A salesman.
C.A researcher.D.A reporter.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To persuade people to spend money wisely.
B.To introduce some ways to gain happiness.
C.To advise physicians to buy time for happiness.
D.To state physicians’ terrible working environment.

The Age of Envy: How to Be Happy When Everyone Else's Life Looks Perfect
We live in the age of envy. Career envy, kitchen envy, children envy, food envy, upper ay envy, holiday envy. You name it, there's an envy for it. Human beings have always felt what Aristotle defined in the 4th century BC as pain at the sight of another's good fortune, stirred by the feeling of 'those who have what we ought to have'.
But with social media, says Ethan Kross, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, 'envy is being taken to an extreme. ' We are constantly bombarded by 'photoshopped lives, ' he says, 'and that exerts a toll on us the likes of which we have never experienced in the history of our species. '
Clinical psychological Rachel Andrew says she is seeing more and more envy in her consulting room, from people who 'can't achieve the lifestyle they want but which they see others have. ' Our use of platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat, she says, amplifies (放大) this deeply disturbing psychological discord (失调), 'I think what social media has done is make everyone accessible for comparison, ' she explains. 'In the past, people might have just envied their neighbors, but now we can compare ourselves with everyone across the world. '
And those comparisons are now much less realistic. Andrew has observed among her patients that knowing they are looking at an edited version of reality is no defense against the emotional force of envy. 'What I notice is that most of us can intellectualize what we see on social media platforms—we know that these images and narratives that are presented aren't real, we can talk about it and rationalize it—but on an emotional level, it's still pushing buttons. If those images or narratives tap into what we aspire to, but what we don't have, then it becomes very powerful. '
According to Dryden, a cognitive behavioral therapist, when it comes to the kind of envy inspired by social media, there are two factors that make a person more vulnerable (易受伤害的): low self-esteem and deprivation intolerance, which describes the experience of being unable to bear not getting what you want. To overcome this, he says, think about what you would teach a child. The aim is to develop a philosophy, a way of being in the world, which allows you to recognize when someone else has something that you want but don't have, and also to recognize that you can survive without it, and that not having it does not make you less worthy or less of a person.
We could also try to change the way we habitually use social media. Kross explains that most the time, People use Facebook passively and just idly, lazily reading instead of posting, messaging or commenting. 'That is interesting when you realize it is the passive usage that is supposed to be more harmful than the active. The links between passive usage and feeling worse are very robust—we have huge data sets involving tens of thousands of people, he says. While it is less clear how active usage affects well-being, there does seem to be a small positive link, he explains, between using Facebook to connect with others and feeling better.
Dryden differentiates between unhealthy envy and its healthy forms, which, he says, 'can be creative. ' Just as hunger tells us we need to eat, the feeling of envy, if we can listen to it in the right way, could show us what is missing from our lives that really matters to us, Kross explains. Andrew says, 'It is about naming it as an emotion, knowing how it feels, and then not interpreting it as a positive or a negative, but trying to understand what it is telling you that you want. If that is achievable, you could take proper steps towards achieving it. But at the same time, ask yourself, what would be good enough? '
