AThe First City You Should Visit Next YearIt’s about time to make travel plans for 2018, and the experts at Lonely Planet say one city should be first on your list.Seville, Spain took top honors in the travel site’s annual Best in Travel roundup (简报). Seville ranked first due to its relatively new network of biking paths and a set of special localactivities related to the anniversary of legendary painter Bartolome Esteban Murillo. The city has also enjoyed some screen love lately. Seville was featured on “Game of Thrones” this year a nd will host the European Film Awards in 2018, making it a prime time to visit this brilliant historical hangout.Even if you don’t stop by next year, Seville deserves a spot on your travel bucket list. The city is known for its rich history, superb architecture and authentic culture that includes plenty of tapas tasting and Flamenco dancing.Must-sees include Seville’s central cathedral (大教堂), a UNESCO world heritage (遗产) site. The Alcazar’s palace and gardens were built over a 100-year span. Off the beate n track, you’ll find charming neighborhoods, bars, markets and churches waiting for your exploration.USA Today says it’s best to visit Seville in spring, when weather is warm and the city celebrates both the Easter Holy Week and its annual fair.21. What do the underlined words “Game of Thrones” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. An activity.B. A TV series.C. A palace.D. A painting.22. What do we know about Seville from the third paragraph?A. It’s diverse.B. It’s conservative.C. It’s fashiona ble.D. It’s controversial.23. When is probably the best time to visit Seville?A. January.B. April.C. September.D. November.BIn a world full of Kates and Sarahs, you might think it’d be nice to have a unique name to help me stand out in a crowd. Being named Stacia (pronounced stay-sha) is not so lucky to me. I’ll get the occasional “Your name is so pretty” after introducing myself, but eventually my name causes me more frustration than happiness. For example, Microsoft Word always tries to tell me my name isn’t a real word. I was never able to buy a cheesy Mickey Mouse keychain from Disneyland as a kid (in other words, I didn’t have a childhood). I couldn’t even pronounce my own name correctly until I was five.I once had a professor who pronounced my name differently each class. After a while I stopped correcting him, and that’s been my reaction to strangers ever since. In other cases, I’drather tell the cashier my name is Staci and save both of us, as well as the people standing behind me in line, valuable time.Meeting new people gives me anxiety, and I’ve realized it’s easier just to lie about my name altogether in certain cases. Actually I did-so many times that Brittany is now my chosen “going out” name. It may have caused some confu sion with my friends at first, who would let out a small laugh or confused look, but I’ve trained them to keep a straight face whenever I came up with this fake (假的) name. Now going out on weekends means I get to have a shift of identity.Frustrations aside, being the owner of a unique name has made me appreciate the little things in life. Someone pronouncing or spelling my name correctly on the first try brings me more joy than it probably should. I also love when I meet another Stacia and we get to bond over our shared struggles.To any other Stacias reading this—I feel you, girl. P. S. I apologize to any real Brittanys out there. Thanks for letting me borrow your name!24. How does the author often feel about her name?A. Annoyed.B. Happy.C. Disappointed.D. Proud.25. Why does the author use a fake name?A. To enjoy a different identity.B. To stand out in a crowd.C. To save time and trouble.D. To make a fool of herself.26. What’s the reaction of her friends to “Brittany” finally?A. They are laughing at her.B. They are used to it.C. They are strongly against her.D. They are confused about it.27. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Guilty.B. Cautious.C. Curious.D. Humorous.CWhen was the last time you sent a postcard? The UK’s family-owned oldest postcard firm, which has been publishing postcards and calendars since 1880, will close this December. The reason? It says instead of penning a card, people are putting photos up on Facebook or Instagram or us ing WhatsApp to show friends and family at home just how much fun they’re having.If you get a postcard from someone who’s away somewhere, it’s as much the thought that they’ve gone through the hassle (麻烦) of choosing a postcard, working out where to get a stampfrom, finding a postbox and then the postcard making that journey through to you. That’s the value of the postcard. But that time has gone.Brothers Charles and Harry Salmon, the fifth generation of the family to run the firm, said the popularity of social media had had a huge impact on the business. People are also tending to take shorter holidays, meaning they are likely to have arrived home long before their postcards. As a result the business was no longer viable.“Increasingly challenging tradin g conditions and changes to the nature and size of the market for its publications have resulted in uncertainty over the future of its trade,’’ the brothers wrote in a letter to suppliers and newsagents.As a result they were announcing a proposal to withdraw from publishing. The number of postcards sold each year is reported to have seen a sharp decline to about five million from 20 million just 25 years ago. But the firm said that as well as the drop in the number of postcards sent, “we have also had to c onsider that there are no more members of the family who wish to join the business.”28. What is the best title of the text?A. UK’s oldest postcard firm set to close.B. Postcard industry booming in the future.C. UK’s postcard firm through a tough time.D. Postcard industry needing support to survive.29. What’s the value of sending a postcard?A. It’s a journey of love.B. It’s a symbol of sympathy.C. It’s an act of patience.D. It’s a way of passing time.30. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Worthy of praise.B. Possible to change.C. Short of money.D. Likely to exist.31. Where does this text probably come from?A. A business column.B. A finance report.C. A hi-tech advertisement.D. A book review.DLike it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon (图标) is an easy way to stay in touch. Whether you, re on Facebook, What’s App or Twitter, the way of keeping in touch is no longer face to face, but instead screen to screen, highlighted by the fact that more than 1 billion people are using Facebook every day. Social media has become second nature—but what impact is this having on us?Lauren Sherman and her team, who study the brain at Temple University in Philadelphia, mixed 20 teens’ photos with 10 other pictures from public Instagram accounts. Then they randomly gave half of the images many likes (between 23 and 45; most had more than 30). They gave the other half no more than 22 likes (most had fewer than 15).The researchers wanted to find out how the participants’ brains were responding to the different images. While the teens were in a machine, researchers asked them to either like an image or skip to the next one. Teens were much more likely to like images that seemed popular—those that had more than 23 likes, Sherman’s team found. The kids tended to skip pictures with few likes.As part of the experiment, participants were also shown a range of “neutral” p hotos showing thing s like food and friends, and “risky” photos concerning cigarettes and alcohol. When looking at photos showing risky behaviors, such as smoking or drinking-no matter how many likes they had—the brain region linked to cognitive (认知的) control tended to become less active. These kinds of pictures can lower the viewer’s self-control. That means what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do. Viewing pictures like these could make teens let down their guard when it comes to experimenting with drugs and alcohol, Sherman worries.32. What does the text focus on?A. The behaviors of teens.B. The self-control of teens.C. The influence of social media.D. The popularity of social media.33. Which of the following might be included in the experiment?A. Seventeen images are given 20 likes.B. Fifteen images are given 25 likes.C. Fifteen images are given 42 likes.D. Eight images are given 40 likes.34. What’s Sherman’s concern about online photos?A. More likes may be given.B. Misbehaviors may be encouraged.C. More risky pictures may be posted.D. Cognitive control may become less active.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To condemn immoral social behaviors.B. To promote modem social media.C. To explain the brain system.D. To introduce a new research.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
