Albert Hofmann was a Swiss scientist who was fascinated by nature. This led him to a career in chemistry in which he sought answers to his uncertainties. He worked at Sandoz Laboratories where he nurtured his research work, and there he made a lot of success by working with various plants and changing them into something useful. He became famous when he became the first person to produce lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)( ). In addition, he was also the first person to taste it and learn about its hallucinogenic(引起幻觉的)effects. He was deeply connected to nature and argued that LSD, besides being useful for psychiatry (精神病学), could also be used to promote awareness of mankind’s place in nature.

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theatre, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theatre’s 75-year history. This time, however, the clean-up was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theatre equipment in preparation for the building’s end.

The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theatre. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say goodbye to the old building. Theatre owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theatre is preparing to close down.

Bradford said that large modern theatres in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theatre’s location (位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the centre of town, ”he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”

Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theatre into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theatre is located.

The theatre audience said goodbye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theatre has shown its last movie. The theatre will be missed. 28. In what way was yesterday’s clean-up at the Plaza special? A. It signaled the close-down of the theatre. B. It made room for new equipment. C. It was done with the help of the audience. D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theatre.

29. Why was The Last Picture Show put on? A. It was an all-time classic.

B. The theatre owner found it suitable. C. The audience requested it.

D. It was about the history of the town. 30. What will probably happen to the building? A. It will be repaired.

B. It will be turned into a museum. C. It will be knocked down.

D. It will be sold to the city government. 31. What can we infer about the audience? A. They are disappointed with Bradford. B. They are eager to have a shopping centre. C. They are supportive of the city officials. D. They are sad to part with the old theatre.

D

Some of the best research on daily experience is rooted in rates of positive and negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to simply tune out.

Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and then scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team having high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.

More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter So much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and activates(激活) conflict and defense mechanisms (机制). You assume situations as being worse than they actually are.

When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive

exchanges increase your body’s production of oxytocin, a feel-good hormone that increases your ability to communicate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one. We need at least three to five positive interactions to outweigh( 比……更重要) every one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether you’re having a conversation, keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversation should be focused on what’s going right.

Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.

32. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined part “tune out”in Paragraph 1? A. stop listening B. change one’s mind C. lose temper D. be at a loss

33. What will happen if you experience negative emotions? A. Much of your thinking will be prevented. B. You’ll begin to look for the bright side of life. C. You will feel an urge to improve and become better. D. You’ll be motivated to resolve conflicts with people. 34. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A. We need a positive feeling to beat one negative feeling. B. Negative feelings can sometimes promote our productivity. C. Our conversation should center on what needs improvement. D. The effect of negative feelings lasts longer than that of positive ones. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Ways to prevent negative thoughts.

B. Positive interactions make the difference. C. Why negative thinking is unnecessary. D. How to promote workplace productivity. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10 分)

How to stop procrastinating (拖延)

You know the people who walk confidently into an algebra test without trying to burn last-minute formulas(公式) into their brains? 36 And it’s easier than you think. Find your procrastination style, and then fix it-right now!

The busy bee

37 Right after you walk the dog, call your grandma, go for a run, eat an apple, brush your teeth...

The fix: 38 You’re simply postponing that one big, terrifying task! To deal with it, break your studying into smaller pieces and put each piece on your to-do list. You’ll get to cross more items off. Plus you’ll start thinking of the test material as many small manageable pieces—rather than one huge piece.

The multitasker

You’re great at getting started—if by that you mean opening a textbook and highlighting while also watching cat videos and eating fruit.

The fix :It’s normal to be bored or hungry, but these things needn’t mean losing sight of your goal. 39 For example, do work for 20 minutes, then watch a video of a cute cat. Dying to hit replay? Get another 20 minutes of research done. Once the tough part (getting focused) is over, you’ll be looking through that textbook before you can say “meow”.

The avoider

You open your backpack when suddenly you’re hit by an anxiety blackout (暂时的意识丧失). 40 The fix: The anxious part of your mind is working. To put your sensible brain back in the driver’s seat, try meditating (冥想), which sounds a lot harder than it is. Simply sit with your eyes closed and slowly breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth. Repeat 10 times, and

then start your work. You’ll feel more motivated! A. Sure, you’ll study for tomorrow’s Spanish test ! B. Understand that procrastination isn’t caused by laziness!

C. To stay on track, turn your entertaining activities into your rewards. D. You can’t ever imagine finishing your work, so you don’t even start.

E. You can become one of them once you learn to keep procrastination under control. F. You’ll save yourself tons of stress if you outsmart those feelings that get in your way. G. You may have tricked yourself into thinking you’re being productive, but you can’t fool us. 第三部分 语言知识运用( 共两节, 满分45 分) 第一节( 共20小题; 每小题1. 5分, 满分30分)

A new football competition, Man v Fat, 61 (organize) recently in England. 62 (judge) from the name, it is easy to guess that players can only join if they are fat.
