In no particular order, here are some songs on the Music app of my phone：
On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown —A student of mine introduced this rap song to me all the way back in the early 1990s, when I was teaching Spanish at a local university. The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. It’s a good “driving”song, nothing complicated or “deep”．Say Something by A Great Big World —A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is of very little playing but beautiful.
American Pie by Don McLean —Another song from my youth in the 1980s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times.
The Weight by The Band —Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didn’t hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I don’t understand the words to the song completely, but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me.
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers —This Los Angeles group wrote a song that I used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didn’t know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west, listening to this song about “the city of angels”being as “lonely as I am”. (Don’t worry! I have plenty of friends now.) 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在作者的手机音乐播放器中保存的几首歌曲的相

Back in January, I was watching a college football game and came to a realization: As a high school senior, pretty soon, I’ll be the same age as some of the top athletes in the world.
This realization was both confusing and comforting. Until this point, I’d always thought of top athletes in another generation. I had no real connection to people in the news or playing sports on TV because they were so much older. But pretty soon, people of my age will be the ones dominating (支配) the news.
The comfort came in understanding that as I prepare to graduate from Sanford H. Calhoun High School in
Merrick, I’m not that far off from entering the real world, and I will have a chance to make a name for myself.
Right now, I’m at the end of one of life stages, with many more to come. As seniors, many in my class developed superiority complexes. We’d see baby-faced ninth-graders and think, “Ugh, those annoying freshmen.”Or we’d hear juniors complain about starting the college application process and say to each other, “Those juniors have no idea what they’re talking about.”Of course, last year’s seniors said the same thing about last year’s juniors, repeating a timeless cycle.
Psychologist and author Thomas Armstrong writes that life is made up of 12 stages. He stresses that no stage is more important than another, and each has its own unique gifts. There is no highest point in life, no impressive ending when you are above everybody else. At the same time, there is no lowest point in life; at no point is a human worthless and below others. Just as an infant isn’t below everyone else, our elders aren’t above everyone else.

Are you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame, not your parents.
According to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US, climate played a key role in shaping our noses.The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476
people from four regions —West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3-D facial imaging technology.
“People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate，”Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told The Guardian.But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.
The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climate, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climate.That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages help to increase the moisture (潮湿) content of air and warm it, which is easier on our lungs.This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.
More studies are still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issues.“As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climate that we do not adapt to，”he told The Guardian.This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems.
However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modern medicine and the fact that our current climate is very different from what it used to be.”

Helicopter parenting refers to a style of parents who are over focused on their children.
36 For example, it can increase feelings of love and acceptance.However, helicopter parenting may be harmful to children’s development in the following ways.
Decreased confidence and self-esteem (自尊)．The message the parents’over-involvement sends to kids is
“my parents don’t trust me to do this on my own”．37
Increased anxiety.A study from the University of Mary Washington has shown that overparenting is associated with higher levels of child anxiety and depression.
Undeveloped problem-solving skills.If parents are always there to clean up a child’s mess or prevent the problem in the first place, how does the child ever learn to deal with loss, disappointment, or failure？38 Strengthened sense of entitlement (权利)．Children who have always had their social, academic, and athletic lives adjusted by their parents to best fit their needs can become accustomed to always having their way and thus they develop a sense of entitlement.
39 Parents who always tie shoes, clear plates, and pack lunches, even after children are able to do the tasks, prevent their children from mastering these life skills themselves.
So, parents should let children struggle, allow them to be disappointed, and when failure occurs, help them to work through it. 40 Remember: taking one step back from solving children’s problems will help build the independent, and self-confident kids.
A．Weakened life skills.
B．Damaged life experiences.
C．And this distrust leads to a lack of confidence.
D．Helicopter parenting has many benefits for children.
E．Parents should also let children do tasks they are physically and mentally able to do.
F．Making your 3-year-old’s bed sounds reasonable, while making your 13-year-old’s bed doesn’t.
G．Studies found helicopter parenting can make children feel less able in dealing with the stresses of life on their own.

第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In many places like Britain and Italy, if you leave the house without your wallet, you’ll be in a tough situation all day. But in China, you can enjoy your day just 61 a smartphone.
The other day, I set out 62 (see) how far a phone would get me in the country’s capital. Admittedly, I was surprised to discover how 63 (convenience) it was.
I used my phone to call a taxi to meet my Chinese friend, Gu Yu, 64 would guide me to get around Beijing. We paid for breakfast by 65 (scan) a QR code on the window of a restaurant selling jianbing, one of China’s most popular street breakfasts. My purchase cost 6 yuan and 66 (take) just a few seconds. At a nearby coffee shop, 67 (it) owner scanned a QR code on my phone. As we sipped our coffee, Gu Yu paid her household water bill. She used the same simple process to pay other bills and even her rent. We also paid by phone for movie tickets, takeout food, shopping and for 68 (deliver)．
I have known from Gu Yu that from tiny street stands to large chains, 69 huge number of people accept mobile payment, 70 (most) through popular apps Alipay and WeChat.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者讲述了自己在中国和朋友一起用手机进行移动支付的经历，包括打车、吃饭、交各种费用、买票、购物等，不需要带钱包，只要带一部手机，就可以很愉快地度过一天。
61．with 考查介词。此处指“用一部智能手机你可以愉快地度过一天”，所以填with，表示“用”。
62．to see 考查非谓语动词。set out to do“打算/计划做”为固定用法。
63．convenient 考查形容词。此处为how引导的宾语从句，空处在从句中作系动词was的表语，且前面有how修饰，故要用形容词。
64．who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“my Chinese friend, Gu Yu”，指人，并且在从句中作主语，所以要用who。
65．scanning 考查非谓语动词。根据空前的介词by可知，空处作介词的宾语，因此要用动名词scanning。
66．took 考查动词的时态。根据上文时间状语“The other day”可知，空处叙述的是发生在过去的动作，故应用一般过去时，与cost并列作谓语，所以填took。
67．its 考查代词。根据空前的地点状语“At a nearby coffee shop”可知，句子的主语是这家咖啡店的老板，因此要用形容词性物主代词its来作owner的定语。
68．delivery 考查名词。根据空前的介词for可知，空处作介词的宾语，for delivery“送货”，为常用搭配，所以填delivery。
69．a 考查冠词。a huge number of是固定短语，意思是“许多”，修饰可数名词复数。
70．mostly 考查副词。空处作状语，修饰介词短语“through popular apps Alipay and WeChat”，所以要用mostly，意思是“主要地，通常，多半”。
