In the digital age,we are forced to move quickly and expected to respond and get things done instantaneously.The rise in digital tools and platforms also aids in great distraction,and many people are left feeling paralyzed about how to be better,faster and Lip to date with everything they need to know in their work and personal lives.lt's exhausting.For anyone feeling the all-too-familiar procrastination and avoidance that comes from a world with too many choices and pressures,here are five tips to make sure you are keeping on top of everything and avoiding distraction in the digital age.1.Whether it's a Google doc,or something more robust like Workfront,there's no shame in needing a little help to get-and keep-yourself organized.Once you adopt a system,customize it to how you like to work,and stick with it.Just don't let it overwhelm you.If you can keep track of all your due dates and tasks in one place-rather than in your email,in a written notepad,on a whiteboard etc.-it's much easier to see the big picture and be able to prioritize.2.You can't climb a mountain in one giant leap,but you can climb it in a bunch of small steps.The same goes for getting things done.Break your tasks down into smaller chunks that are easier to accomplish.If something has been lingering on your list for a few days,figure out at least one thing you can do today to start.It helps you build momentum and-trust me-makes everything seem more attainable.3.Nothing is ever perfect.Believe me;I'm a perfectionist.I've tried.And honestly,there are some things that will never be done,You can'i keep tweaking the spacing on an ad forever.You can't change fonts on that document a million times.Don't get stuck if you feel like something isn't 100%.In many cases,98%will be just fine.Or even 95%.Ask for a second opinion if you want.but at some point,call it good enough,and move on.Your sanity will thank you,4.I can't tell you how many times I've arrived at work,looked at my to-do list and thought about how much l was going to accomplish that day.only to have it completely thrown out the window within the first 15 minutes,Things happen.A website goes offline.There's a PR crisis.The internet is down.You have to take a deep breath.prioriiize and acknowledge that some things are just not going to get done today,and you will have to pick it back up 10morrow.There's always tomorrow.5.Another perfectionist flaw:"I can do it all by myself!"You won't get very far if you are always irying to do everything by yourself and you don't allow others to help.It's hard to let things go;it really is.But it's a lot easier when you can trust someone else to handle it than to kill yourself staying until 10 p.m.every night.

Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us?One
hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45.But now,she can live until at least 80.
One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after
ourselves better. We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make
sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and
what to do to get better again.And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to
keep our hearts beating healthily.
But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits,let's have a look at what life was
like 100 years ago.
Families had between 15 and 20 children,although many babies didn't live long.
Children suffered from lots of diseases , especially rickets（佝偻病）and scurvy（坏血病）,
which are both caused by bad diets.This is because many families were very poor and not
able to feed their children well.
Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept
standing up,bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.
People didn't have fridges until the 1 920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on
windowsills（窗台板）,blocks of ice, or even burying it in the garden.
Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their
parents. If you had lived 1 00 years ago , you might well be selling matchsticks（火柴杆）(a
job done by many children)or working with your dad by now.Life was not easy for many children living 100 years ago.

第8题：
Psychology tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks, especially when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn't have the fear to move on. This is because they failed a few times in their lives. Please step out and don't let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on! In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human provides us with the desire to experiment and take chances.
Risk taking is a great advantage that allowed our ancestors to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories. This attitude has become a part of our modem culture. Riding a roller caster is a common risk taking activity. Even each person seems to enjoy the risk although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological connection creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk, too. We need to take risks so that we can complete many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however,the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company, however, without doing that, they could not make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or doing anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It' s one of the most important parts of life.
Some people don't want to take risks, mainly because__A.they are too lazy to move on
B.they feel pleased with the present life
C.they have failed several times before
D.they show little interest in the strange world outside答案：C解析：细节题。根据第二段“…some people just sit and wish they didn’t have the fear to move on．This is because they failed a few times in their lives．”可知选C。 -

Friendship
Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of
friendship for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we
get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few一for
example,the average among students is about 6 per person.
Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term"friendship".In all
cases,two people like each other and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree
of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
Initially,much depends on how people meet,and on favourable first impressions.As
we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,physical
attractiveness,economic and social status,and intelligence.Although these factors are
not of prime importance,it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked
difference in age and background.
On a more immediate level,we are sensitive to actual behaviour,facial expression,
and tone of voice.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at
each other than mere acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and
it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in
making friends.A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive
stare,and nervousness may be misread as hostility.People who do not look one in the eye
are mistrusted when,in fact,they simply lack confidence.
Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends
to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common一they often talk
about"being on the same wavelength".It generally takes time to reach this point;
sometimes people"click"immediately.The more intimately involved people become, the
more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favours and hate to let them
down.Equally,friends have to learn to make allowances for each other,to put up with
irritating habits,and to tolerate differences of opinion.Imagine going camping with
someone you occasionally meet for a drink!
In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies,no rituals to strengthen
the association between two people.But the mutual support and understanding that results
from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,which can
overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.Shy people tend to misinterpret other people's facial expressions.

Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up,bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.
People didn't have fridges until the 1920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills（窗台板）,blocks of ice,or even burying it in the garden.
Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their pai lived 100 years ago,you might well be selling matchsticks（火柴杆）(a job done by many children）or working with your dad by now.Life was not easy for many children living 100 years ago.

第18题：
Psychology tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks, especially when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn't have the fear to move on. This is because they failed a few times in their lives. Please step out and don't let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on! In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human provides us with the desire to experiment and take chances.
Risk taking is a great advantage that allowed our ancestors to become stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories. This attitude has become a part of our modem culture. Riding a roller caster is a common risk taking activity. Even each person seems to enjoy the risk although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and biological connection creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk, too. We need to take risks so that we can complete many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however,the things they achieve are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company, however, without doing that, they could not make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or doing anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game. It' s one of the most important parts of life.
What would be the title for the passage?A.Taking Risks Is Easier Said than Done
B.Risks Taken by Ancestors
C.Live Our Life to the Fullest
D.No Risk, No Gain答案：D解析：主旨题。通读全文，根据最后一段“We need to take risks so that we can gain something．"可知“没有冒险，就没有收获”。 -
第19题：
Artificial intelligence,or AI,is called artificial for a good reason.Facebook made that point last week by ending its attempt to rely heavily on software algorithms to select news items for its 2 billion users.It announced Jan.19 that the Facebook"community"will be asked to rank news outlets by their trustworthiness.This reader feedback will promote"high quality news that helps build a sense of common ground"in a world with"so much division,"said chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.The first surveys have started in the United States and will soon expand to other countries.The company plans to include the local news outlets of users in its surveys.Like many digital platforms that act as news providers,Facebook had great faith in a belief that programmed electrons in computer servers can discern qualities of thought such as trust,fairness,and honesty.Even in respected newsrooms,however,these traits of character require constant upkeep among journalists and feedback from paying customers.Good judgment on news relies on orders of consciousness beyond what a machine can do.Rather than move toward becoming a hands-on gatekeeper of news,Facebook now hopes its"diverse and representative"sampling of users can lead to a ranking of news outlets-and that would bring a measure of objectivity in its news feed.The company may be in the news business but it has chosen to outsource news credibility to the collective wisdom of individuals and their ability to distinguish truth from falsehood.By placing its trust in people as seekers of truth,Facebook could earn greater trust from its users.This is also a lesson for many companies,especially digital platforms or those in the media business.According to the latest survey of trust in institutions worldwide by Edelman communications firm,"media has become the least-trusted institution for the first time,"more so than other businesses or government.In particular,the US is"enduring an unprecedented crisis of trust"among many of its institutions,says Richard Edelman,president and CEO of Edelman."The root cause of this fall is the lack of objective facts and rational discourse,"he adds.Facebook's shift away from computer-driven news selection is a welcome step toward restoring trust in the overall business of news.This is not a new problem."Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper,"wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1807.Yet the Digital Age has forced the issue of trust for news providers.By inviting readers to participate in solving this problem,Facebook has itself set a new bar for earning trust.
In the last paragraph,Thomas Jefferson's words are cited to indicateA.the poor quality of newspapers nowadays.
B.the long-standing trust issue in news businesses.
C.the problems arising from Facebook's shift.
D.the issue of trust in the Digital Age.答案：B解析：末段首句指出，Facebook的转变朝向恢复用户对新闻业的信任迈出了可喜一步。第二句直接指出这并非新问题。第三句则援引杰斐逊1807年所言“现在的报纸上没有什么可以相信的”。可见，援引目的在于证明新闻可信度问题古已有之，B.正确。[解题技巧]A.源于引言“现在的报纸上没有什么可以相信的”（Nothing can now be believed.…）。但据下文可知，此处“现在”指1807年，而非当下（nowadays），且“报纸质量低劣”一说与文意存在偏差。C.将末段②句This is not a new problem中This误解为“Facebook转变带来的问题”，而结合前文可知，This指代“新闻业信任问题”，而Facebook转变有益于问题的解决。D.源自末段④句，但选项问题有二：一、Yet表明该句相对引言已发生语义转折，并非引言说明对象；二、该句意指“数字时代迫使新闻提供者们直面信任问题”而非“数字时代信任缺失”。选项不仅偏离原文方向，且放大原文范围（将“新闻业的信任问题”放大到“整个社会的信任缺失”）。一、借助首段特点确定首段 -

Improve Your Memory
To many people advancing age means losing your hair,your waistline and your memory.But is it an inescapable fact that the older you get,the less you remember? Well,as time goes by,we tend to blame age for problems that are not necessarily age-related.
When a teenager can't find her keys,she thinks it's because she's distracted or disorganized, but a 70-year-old blames her memory. In fact,the 70-year-old may have been misplacing things for decades一like we all do from time to time.
In healthy people,memory doesn't deteriorate as quickly as many of us think. According to psychologists,as we age,our memory mechanism isn't broken,it's just different.The brain's processing time slows down over the years,though no one knows exactly why.Recent research suggests that nerve cells lose efficiency and that there's less activity in the part of the brain that decides whether to store information or not.But it's not clear that less activity is worse.A beginning athlete is winded. more easily than a trained athlete.In the same way,as the brain gets more skilled at a task,it spends less energy on it.
There are steps you can take to improve your memory,though you have to work to keep your brain in shape.It's like having a good body. You can't go to the gym once a year and expect to stay in top form.
Some memory enhancement experts suggest using the AM principle.Pay attention to what you want to remember. Then give some meaning to it. We remember things when we focus on them, whether we intend to or not. That helps explain why jingles stick in our minds.They are played on loud,flashy TV commercials.They also use rhyme and music to help us remember better.
Basic organization helps us remember the boring stuff. For example,rather than trying to recall a random list of groceries,we can divide them into categories,such as dairy,meat and produce. For important things like keys and money,we can set up a"forget-me-not"spot where we always keep them.
We can also eat to aid our memory power. Whole grains,fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of glucose,the brain's preferred fuel. Another low-tech way to improve memory is to get adequate rest. Sleep may allow our brain time to encode memories.
Interest in friends,family and hobbies does wonders for our memory.A sense of passion or purpose helps us remember. Memory requires us to pay attention to our lives,allowing us to discover in them everything worth remembering.As we get older, our memory mechanism is broken,and so cannot be the same as it was before.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是第一段第三句中提到“Well, as time goes by, we tend to blame age for problems that are not necessarily age-related.”其实，随着时间的流逝，我们会将一些不一定与年龄相关的问题归咎于年龄。题干中描述的“你年纪越大，记得就越少，这不总是正确的”与原文意思相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据的信息句和上题信息句相同。题干所描述的“我们可以推理出记忆力的问题不是真的和年龄相关”，与原文不相符，因为“not necessarily”指“不一定”，而不是指“not really"（不是真的）。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第三段第二句："According to psychologists, as we age, our memory mechanism isn't broken, it's just different.”据心理学家说，当我们变老时，我们的记忆机能不会失效，只是变得和以前不一样了。题干中所陈述的“当我们变老，我们的记忆机能失效，所以它就和以前不一样了”，这个说法与原文恰恰相反，所以选B。
文章没有谈到这方面的信息。
本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是第四段："There are steps you can take to improve your memory,though you have to work to keep your brain in shape .It's like having a good body.You can't go to the gym once a year and expect to stay in top form.”虽然你工作以使你的大脑保持良好状态，但也有一些步骤可以用来提高记忆力。就像拥有一个好身体一样，你不能每年只去一次健身房还期望自己处于巅峰状态。题干陈述“你必须工作以使你的大脑保持灵活，就如同你努力运动使你保持体形一样”，这与原文意思相符，所以选A。
本题给出的信息是错误的。依据是第五段第二、三句："Pay attention to what you want to remember.Then give some meaning to it.”关注你想要记忆的东西，并且给它以某种意义。依此推出AM代表的意思应为“attention and meaning"。而题干中说的是“注意力和记忆”与原文不符，所以选B。
本题给出的信息是正确的。依据是倒数第二段的第一句和第三句："We can also eat to aid our memory power.”我们还可以通过饮食来帮助我们提高记忆力。"Another low-tech way to improve memory is to get adequate rest.”另外一种低科技的提高记忆力的方法就是要有足够的休息。题干中陈述“对食物正确的选择和大量的休息对记忆有益”，这与原文意思相符，所以选A。 -
第22题：
资料：Procrastination comes in many disguises. We might resolve to tackle a task, but find endless reasons to defer it. We might prioritize things we can readily tick off our to-do list- answering emails, say- while leaving the big, complex stuff untouched for another day. We can look and feel busy. while artfully avoiding the tanks that really matter. And when we look at those rolling, long untouched items at the bottom of our to-do list, we can't help but feel a little disappointed in ourselves.
The problem is our brains are programmed to procrastinate. In general, we all tend to struggle with task that promise future upside in return for efforts we take now. That's because it's easier for our brains to process concrete rather than abstract things, and the immediate hassle is very tangible compared with those unknowable, uncertain future benefits. So the short-term effort easily dominates the long-term upside in our minds--an example of something that behavioral scientists call present bias.
How can you become less myopic about your elusive tasks? It's all about rebalancing the cost benefit analysis: make the benefits of action feel bigger, and the costs of action feel smaller. The reward for doing a pestering task needs to feel larger than the immediate pain of tacking it.
To make the benefits of action feel bigger and more real:
Visualize how great it will be to get it done. Researchers have discovered that people are more likely to save for their future retirement if they're shown digitally aged photographs of themselves. Why? Because it makes their future self feel more real-making the future benefits of saving also feel more weighty.
According to the author, which can NOT be seen as the way of procrastination?A.We prioritize the to-do list and finish the task in time.
B.We prioritize and only do things that can be done easily and quickly.
C.We look busy but avoid the task that really matters.
D.We find endless reasons to defer a task.答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】not; way of procrastination
【主题句】第一段Procrastination comes in many disguises. We might resolve to tackle a task, but find endless reasons to defer it. We might prioritize things we can readily tick off our to-do list — answering emails, say — while leaving the big, complex stuff untouched for another day. We can look and feel busy, while artfully avoiding the tasks that really matter. And when we look at those rolling, long-untouched items at the bottom of our to-do list, we can’t help but feel a little disappointed in ourselves.（拖延症有很多伪装。我们也许会下决心去处理一项任务，但却发现了无穷无尽的拖延的理由。我们可能会优先考虑很容易解决的待办事项清单，比如回复邮件，然后把那些大而复杂的事情原封不动地留到另一天做。我们可能看起来并且感觉很忙，然而巧妙地避开那些真正重要的任务。当我们看到那些一大串、长时间未动的项目在我们的待办事项清单的底部时，我们禁不住会对自己感到有些失望。）
【解析】本题问“根据作者，哪一项不被看做是拖延症的表现？”。选项A意为“我们优先处理待办事项清单并及时完成任务”；选项B意为“我们优先考虑并且只做能轻松快速完成的事情”；选项C意为“我们看起来很忙，但避免了真正重要的任务”；选项D意为“我们发现无尽的理由推迟一项任务”。根据文章第1段的内容（主题句），可知B、C、D项原文都有提及，A项We prioritize the to-do list and finish the task in time（我们优先考虑待办事项并且及时完成任务）与题目相违背，所以是错的。而此题为选非题。 -

Friendship
Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of
friendship for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we
get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few一for
example,the average among students is about 6 per person.
Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term"friendship".In all
cases,two people like each other and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree
of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
Initially,much depends on how people meet,and on favourable first impressions.As
we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,physical
attractiveness,economic and social status,and intelligence.Although these factors are
not of prime importance,it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked
difference in age and background.
On a more immediate level,we are sensitive to actual behaviour,facial expression,
and tone of voice.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at
each other than mere acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and
it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in
making friends.A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive
stare,and nervousness may be misread as hostility.People who do not look one in the eye
are mistrusted when,in fact,they simply lack confidence.
Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends
to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common一they often talk
about"being on the same wavelength".It generally takes time to reach this point;
sometimes people"click"immediately.The more intimately involved people become, the
more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favours and hate to let them
down.Equally,friends have to learn to make allowances for each other,to put up with
irritating habits,and to tolerate differences of opinion.Imagine going camping with
someone you occasionally meet for a drink!
In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies,no rituals to strengthen
the association between two people.But the mutual support and understanding that results
from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,which can
overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.The average student has about six friends.
