• 2．I have been the senior digital producer at News Corp since August 2018.At the completion of my Bachelor 's degree in Journalism at the University of Queensland，I joined the Sunshine Coast Daily as a journalist.After five years with the paper，I moved to Yahoo7 as a news producer.In 2017，I took up anew role at SBS as its evening news editor.Then I joined News Corp.
     As a content producer at News Corp，not a day is the same，which is something I love about my job as it's never boring.It's certainty taught me to be flexible as it includes a constant mix of reporting and producing news stories.One minute T'll1 be reporting on the national or world issue of the hour，and the next I'll be focused on making our print stories sing online.
     While working hard as a digital producer，I'm sad to see readers' unwillingness to pay for quality journalism online.There are plenty of fantastic Australian journalists working hard to bring issues to the surface，and many put their reputations on the line to do so.It's sad that the attitude now is that news should always be free.jye.ai course among all the resources there's some fake news.Fake news keeps me on my toes!I always fact-check everything — for my own work and when doing others' job for a short time.I always take the extra five minutes to do the proper research I need.It will save me time and trouble in the long run.
     Finally，a great story must be easy to read and without errors from start to finish，and have the strongest possible headline and photo to sell it.If you've worked hard on a story and want to make sure it's read，think smart and spend time building it properly for online publication.If you spend hours on a story and then rush the last step ，you're wasting your time as no one will see it.

• 3．It is likely that anyone who pays attention to fitness trends has heard the term"muscle confusion".It was invented and popularized in the past decade by the creators of various weight-training programs，particularly P90 X.
     P90 X advises participants to adjust their routines all the time，threading in different combinations of exercises and rarely，if ever，repeating any particular workout.The theory for the inconstancy is that unfamiliar routines should perplex our bodies and muscles and prevent them from getting into a settled state or reaching a training plateau （a time of little change after a period of progress）.Instead，our muscles supposedly will respond to the unfamiliar demands of the workouts by continuing to adapt.
     That idea has some appeal and many supporters but little independent scientific backing.So，for anew study，which was published in PLOS One，a group of of researchers from Spain and the United States who long had been interested in the impacts and specifics of resistance training decided to try to confuse a few muscles and see what would happen.
     They divided 19 healthy young men who already lifted weights into two groups，after testing their muscles' size and strength and completing an online questionnaire about their interest in and motivation for exercise.
     Then one group began a standard，weight-training routine，performing the same exercises in the same order each week.The other group，though，did a different workout each session，picking exercises randomly from a database of 80.These routines continued for eight weeks at a university gym，after which the men returned to the lab for new muscle tests and a repeat of the online questionnaire.
     The researchers then compared results and，quite unexpectedly，found that it is no easy job to make muscles feel confused since overall the men's gains in muscular size and strength were almost exactly the same.Our muscles are not discouraged or bored by unvarying routines，says Brad Schoenfeld，a co-author of the study.
     There was one notable difference between the groups，however.Those men completing the ever-changing workouts reported showing more enthusiasm for exercise at the study 's end than the other group. "The differences in drive scores at the end were significant，" he says，suggesting that "from a purely motivational standpoint，variety matters."
  
  （1）The underlined word "perplex" can be replaced by

  .
  A．pull
  B．relax
  C．strengthen.
  D．confuse.
  （2）What was the major difference between the two groups during the research？

  
  A．Whether their workouts varied.
  B．Whether they received two muscle tests.
  C．Whether exercises were completed at a gym.
  D．Whether they lifted the same amount of weight.
  （3）What did the researchers conclude from their study？

  
  A．It is simple to confuse our muscles.
  B．Men dislike ever-changing workouts.
  C．Regular exercise makes one feel enthusiastic.
  D．Changing workouts helps improve motivation.
  （4）Which would be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Will P90 x benefit health？
  B．How can muscles be built？
  C．Will muscle confusion work？
  D．How should workouts be done？

第二节（满分25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

• 9．Be quiet." No one actually ever said that to me - in fact，it was usually the opposite. "Speak up." "What did you say？" "I couldn't understand you." But every time someone told me to be louder，to be clearer.I wanted to shut my mouth and never open it again.
      Years of living with a lisp（口齿不清）had taught me that it was better to say nothing than to speak and risk being misunderstood，leading to embarrassment and awkwardness.As a result of my silence，I felt distanced from most of my peers，having only a few people I felt were friends. "Kathryn？Oh，she's quiet." That's what most people would say when they thought of me. "Quiet"might as well have been part of my name.I was okay with that.I didn't need to be heard.
      September of last year that all changed.
      I started my first day of creative writing class with Ms.Haist.She is one of those teachers you don't feel frightened to approach；you know she will help you if you need it.I had expected to fill out plot diagrams and learn the proper way to punctuate dialogue.However，every day we would be given a different writing prompt（提示词） and then，if we wished，we could share what we had written with the class.I remember sitting and listening to others read their work，and I distinctly remember thinking：That will never be me.I'll never have the courage to do that.
      Then，one day in October，I was really pleased with what I had written，so pleased that I wanted to share.I remember my heart pounding in my chest as I raised my hand to read，and those urgent little voices in my mind listing all the reasons why it wasn't a good idea：They won't understand jye.ai.You have a lisp，remember？Besides，your writing isn't that good.Be quiet.Be quiet.I was about to withdraw my hand when I met Ms.Haist's encouraging eyes.
  
  注意：
  1.续写词数应为150左右；
  2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
      I swallowed the voices down and let my real voice come out.______
      Soon I was reading out loud nearly every day.______
