A Commitment to Life
The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous. The schools were dismissed early, but much to my surprise, my 36 wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my 37 . Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local 38 center.
When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t 39 . Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor chairs with lines 40 to their veins, and machines quietly pumping away to 41 their lifesaving gifts.
Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference in the life of someone I would never 42 .
To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just do it. But a few months ago, during one of my 43 donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby—both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center 44 ever since.
My wife Karen is a 45 , too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow (骨髓) list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia(白血病). That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, 46 Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential 47 for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was a race 48 time.
I wish I could say that this 49 was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d 50 on the donor list. “Of course, “Karen answered.
Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll 51 an afternoon from my schedule and make an appointment. I don’t know whose life my donation may 52 . Most likely it will be a 53 , but on any day the person needing a blood product could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is worthwhile to 54 our time to donate.
I really do feel 55 every time I donate. And I like the feeling. 36. A. appointment B. class C. meeting D. flight 37. A. secret B. balance C. shape D. word 38. A. service B. shopping C. blood D. care 39. A. alone B. welcome C. late D. lucky 40. A. exposed B. attached C. applied D. added 41. A. examine B. produce C. collect D. clean 42. A. meet B. forget C. miss D. recognize 43. A. regular B. unexpected C. special D. pleasant 44. A. wisely B. differently C. hesitantly D. carefully 45. A. receiver B. doctor C. patient D. donor 46. A. or B. but C. and D. for 47. A. risk B. customer C. match D. partner 48. A. beyond B. with C. against D. of 49. A. honor B. test C. prize D. race 50. A. rank B. sign C. appear D. remain 51. A. clear B. separate C. lose D. remove 52. A. touch B. affect C. create D. enrich 53. A. child B. stranger C. hero D. friend 54. A. waste B. save C. kill D. take

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I am Henry Jekyll. I was born in the 1800s. I inherited(继承) a large fortune, a healthy body and an excellent mind. I was naturally hard-working and soon I was very successful in my job. So the outside world saw a serious, hard-working, successful doctor. Behind this quiet character, however, was a wild, fun-loving, irresponsible young man. Both of them were me. They lived together in the same body.
“Was it possible,” I wondered, “to find a drug that could give each side of my character its own separate face and body?”
After much thought and careful study I believed I had found the answer. I had read many scientific books and spent many hours in my laboratory, searching for the right mixture of chemicals to make my drug. At last I got everything ready.
Late one night, I mixed everything together and prepared my drug. I watched the smoke rising from the liquid as its color changed from red to purple and at last to green. Then, bravely, I drank every bitter drop.
I felt a violent sickness in my stomach and a terrible pain in all my bones. The room seemed to turn round and round and I trembled with fear. Then the fear and pain disappeared and a strange, sweet feeling took its place. Wild thoughts danced through my mind—the wild passions of an evil and cruel stranger. But inside myself I felt younger, lighter, more carefree than ever before. “If this is pure evil,” I thought, “I like it.”
I stood there, enjoying these strange new thoughts and passions and suddenly realized that I was shorter. So I decided to go to my bedroom in my new body and take a look at myself in the mirror there. As I came into my room, I saw Edward Hyde for the first time.
At that time, the good side of my character was stronger than the evil side. Henry Jekyll had his faults, but he was mostly a good, kind man. I believe that is the reason why Edward Hyde was so much smaller than Henry Jekyll. But that was not the only difference between the two men. Henry Jekyll had a kind, open, honest face. But pure evil stared out of Edward Hyde’s eyes. I felt no dislike, however. Indeed, I welcomed him. Edward Hyde was me, young and strong and full of life. 56. In others’ eyes, the writer was ______.
A. wild and successful B. fun-loving and responsible C. quiet and irresponsible D. serious and hard-working 57. The writer wanted to find a drug to ______.
A. discover the right mixture of chemicals B. create separate bodies for both sides C. observe the change of the chemicals D. make himself smaller but stronger 58. From the passage we can learn that the writer ______.
A. felt quite delighted right after taking the drug B. preferred kind Henry to pure evil Edward C. was very sick of the shorter Edward Hyde D. was satisfied with both of his bodies
B
Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.
We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.
Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact(紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.
Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program, and will be open to the public soon. 59. From the passage, we can learn that Amazon Go ______. A. is a checkout-free store B. sells all kinds of goods C. is open to the public D. uses unknown technologies 60. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?

C
Runners who encounter visual and auditory(听觉的) distractions(分心) may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to a research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often seek distractions from the task at hand. Whether it
is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill(跑步机), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But, researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered that those distractions may lead to injury.
Daniel Herman, MD, PhD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team conducted a research on the effect of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect, if any, these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how much a runner breathes per minute, how much oxygen is consumed by the body, the speed in which runners apply force to their bodies, and the force the ground applies to the runners’ bodies when they come in contact with it.
The runners were all injury free at the time of the study and ran 31 miles each week. Dr. Herman’s team had each participant run on a treadmill three separate times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction, during which the runners concentrated on a screen displaying different letters in different colors with the runners having to note when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runners having to note when a particular word was spoken by a particular voice.
When compared to running without distractions, the participants had faster application of force to their left and right legs, called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners tended to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all.
“Running in environments with different distractions may unfavorably affect running performance and injury risk,” explains Dr. Herman. “Sometimes these things cannot be avoided, but you may be able to minimize potentially cumulative(累积的) effects. For example, when running a new route in a chaotic environment such as during a destination marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attention—like a new song playlist.”
Dr. Herman’s team will continue to investigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues.
63. Paragraph 2 tells us the research ______. A. process B. questions C. results D. reflection 64. Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions tended to ______.
A. breathe heavier and have lower heart rates B. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates C. apply more force with less oxygen consumption D. get an increased amount of ground reaction force 65. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Running with distractions becomes uncommon nowadays. B. Listening to a new song while running guarantees performance. C. Runners are advised to minimize distractions in a destination marathon.
D. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions. 66. What is probably the next task for Dr. Herman’s team?
A. What determines training techniques. B. What effective ways can cure leg injuries. C. Why runners use auditory and visual cues. D. How distractions should be used in training.
D Integrity
Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.
Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny(命运) of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society. On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.
However, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue(追求) integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.
Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society. 67. Individual integrity has been valued in society because ______.
A. it helps develop philosophy B. it is the basis of critical thinking C. it is important to social relations D. it ensures people’s particular roles 68. The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. destroying B. strengthening C. assessing D. influencing 69. The writer believes that ______.
A. social structures guide the formation of individual integrity B. the nature of society is decided by economic development C. the pursuit of individual integrity changes with time D. individual integrity depends on what one believes 70. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?
