I suffered from mental illness and depression （抑郁症）when I was younger, and it totally affected my teenage years. But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.
My depression really kicked in after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it impossible for me to carry on.
At that time, I didn’t understand that depression was an illness. I remember a particular day when I couldn’t find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park---it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders.
Other times, I even thought about killing myself---I just felt so trapped. I never really reached out for help either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped with my situation.
What turned my life around, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies and get through university.
My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have ever believed it.
Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there’s always someone, or something, out there to help you.
（ ）24．How did the author deal with his depression at first
A．He turned to his old friends for help. B．He talked about it with his parents.
C．He put up with it by himself. D．He read many articles about it.
（ ）25．How did street dancing benefit the author
A．It helped him find a good job.
B．It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.
C．It let him find many true friends.
D．It cheered him up and made him feel positive.
（ ）26．What does the author suggest people do when they feel down
A．Always be confident in themselves. B．Find someone or something to rescue them.
C．Wait for help to come patiently. D．Accept everything that life sends their way.
（ ）27．How might the author feel about his future
A．Hopeful. B．Fearful. C．Satisfied. D．Uncertain.
C
In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than those in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, while other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say.
（ ）28．Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China
A．The countryside is much poorer than city.
B．People in the countryside have nothing to eat.
C．People in the countryside don’t have much work to do there.
D．Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.
（ ）29．Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside
A．Because they will find good jobs.
B．Because they are tired of living in the city.
C．Because they can make more money there.
D．Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.
（ ）30．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows ______
A．they are happy to move back to the city
B．they miss their friends in the countryside
C．they still want to move to the countryside
D．they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city
（ ）31．The best title of this passage may be “______”
A．A happy life! B．Living in the city!
C．Moving out or moving back D．Living in the countryside!
D
More and more travellers in China nowadays prefer homestays rather than traditional hotels, as they seek private living experiences. The house-sharing model was first introduced by a website in 2003. That website is still the largest website for travellers to find accommodation without much money to spend.
Encouraged by her great experience of homestays in France, Maggita, 30, considered short-term hi re as her first choice in her future trips. She later went back to her hometown Shanghai and ran a “shared accommodation” business.
The short-term hire idea has been a win-win business model. For travellers, they can rent a special room at a reasonable price and also enjoy a first-hand experience of the local culture, compared with traditional hotels. For owners, they can gain much with daily rental. Now Maggita has quit her last job in an IT company and become a host of some 20 homestays, which enables her to earn a monthly income of around 40,000-50,000 yuan.
In recent years, China has seen many homestay booking websites. Chen Chi, the founder and CEO of a homestay website, said the model is to share rooms or apartments that are not in use with people who need them. Instead of the traditional view that Chinese people feel uncomfortable living with strangers, Chen found that a large number of travellers got along well with house owners.
However, experts have pointed out a series of problems brought about by the fashion. Lacking supervision （监管） to those accommodation sharing websites, the service quality and accommodation safety cannot be guaranteed. Experts suggest that online websites should closely work together with communities and local police stations to improve the services.
（ ）32．What can we learn about homestays from the first paragraph
A．They started in China. B．They offer the best service.
C．They can be money-saving. D．They are popular with the youth.
（ ）33．What does Chen Chí think of the sharing model
A．Useless. B．Relaxing. C．Uncomfortable. D．Well-accepted.
（ ）34．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Homestay services need to be improved.
B．Some experts don’t support homestays.
C．Homestays are popular with youth only.
D．Nobody is responsible for homestay services.
（ ）35．The underlined word “guaranteed” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.
A．protected B．shared C．focused D．preferred
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
What Can We Learn from Gu Ailing, a Famous Olympic Champion （冠军）
●Be yourself.
I’ve always dreamed big. My mom taught me that from day one. 36 . The ideas of “good” and “bad”, when it comes to the way you behave yourself, are so subjective（主观）that if you attempt to obey them, you’ll never fully succeed. I learned that the only way to fit a model（模式）is to create one for yourself and that takes courage.
37 .
Right, sometimes you feel like as a young person. Oh, I have to wait until I’m older before I can make change, or before I can really do things that are important and effective to the world. But really, I think it’s important to be a young person and to show that age doesn’t decide one’s ability, and that experience teaches more than anything else. And so, yeah, I think that is my biggest goal and it’s something that I wish I had more of growing up. 38 . They are strong women and support my decision. They also serve as my role models.
●How to face failure.
One of my mottos（座右铭）is “If it were easy it wouldn’t be a dream.” Adversity（逆境）and possibility of failure are what make life interesting. When I learn a new trick （技巧）, it’s okay to be frightened. It’s okay that I will probably fall a million times before I get it right. 39 . But then, you use that bravery to your advantage, and you work harder and practise more, and eventually you learn that new trick. 40 .
A．Be young.
B．Find your role model.
C．It takes courage to be able to fall.
D．In the end, you will achieve your big dreams.
E．I’m really thankful for my mom and my grandma.
F．She also taught me the first person to believe in you must be yourself.
G．Feel free to dream big dreams and make small steps towards them.

By the middle of the week, everyone had turned this assignment into a competition to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my class room and noticed a package with a box of powder （胭脂粉）. The girls sitting near me laughed at the gift I had received. What’s worse, the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift, but when I was in the restroom （洗手间） during the break, the girls started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me. I quickly joined in. “How terrible,” I heard myself saying “What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift My grandma wouldn’t even want it.” The girls laughed at my remarks （评论） and rushed out of the restroom. I stayed to wash my hands and let water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said. It wasn’t normal like me to say mean （刻薄的） things like that about someone.
