• 3．As part of our mission to inspire the next generation of scientists，inventors and engineers，the Science Museum Group（SMG） has launched an exciting new online game-Total Darkness.
     Over the last year we have been developing Total Darkness with the aim of creating an experience that can have a positive impact on people's attitudes towards STEM （science，technology，engineering and maths），as well as having a focus on self-reflection，rather than asking players to recall specific facts or concepts.
     Total Darkness is a digital storytelling experience which encourages young people to recognise how the skills they use every day relate to STEM and can help them develop their confidence in science thinking.The game invites the player to solve a mysterious power cut in their hometown.The game puts players in control，allowing their choices and decisions to guide them through the story.
     As the player navigates through the darkened streets of the town，equipped only with a torch，they will face various challenges.Using their curiosity，communication skills and creative problem solving，they will discover new theories about what might have caused the blackout（停电；断电）.But with every step their torch fades，and the player must solve the mystery before the battery runs out.
     The player's choices and actions throughout the game will score them curiosity，creativity or communication points.At the end，the skills the player has used will be revealed along with their science style，showing how they could put their skills into action in the real world.
     Total Darkness is aimed at 8-15-year-olds-an important stage in teens' science development.Research shows that as teens make the step between primary and secondary，many move away from an interest in science as other influences have a stronger pull in their lives.
     Total Darkness is a free online game playable on smartphone，tablet and desktop.Play now at totaldarkness.sciencemuseum.org.jye.ai.

第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）第一节 阅读表达（共1小题；第1、2题各2分，第3题3分，第4题5分，共12分）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。

• 8．Quiet the Complainer For years，Jane Booth's mother made lengthy airing of complaints.It got so bad that Jane felt it was ruining the quality of their time together，so she finally spoke up and helped her mother realize how often she complained.It turned out that Jane's intervention not only helped her mother-it also helped their relationship.
      You may not be as direct as Jane was to her mother，but there are other ways to get a constant complainer to end.To be effective，it helps to correct misbeliefs about complaining in the first place.In fact，even the kindest，most considerate people complain.And complaining doesn't always have a negative impact.Sometimes，complaining can change an unfavorable situation into a more desirable one.Other times，it can foster new relationships with people we don't know well.
      The problems start when complaining becomes the default mode（默认模式）. "When we have a need to be heard，we repeat ourselves，" says Dian Killian，a life coach， "the satisfaction for frequent complainers comes from attention，so they are never satisfied with any suggestion to address the problems that they highlight-resolution isn't their aim."
      So，how do you quiet a constant complainer，for the sake of your health and his？
      Change the subject.Some complainers will switch gears if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them.
      Summarize the complaint.If your complainer keeps repeating himself，he may stop if you demonstrate that you're listening.
      Challenge the person to act.When a constant complainer tells you about his latest problem，ask nicely what he's done to improve it.
      Be honest.When you have things to do，tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short-especially if it's someone who's complained to you many times before.
      When someone stresses you out with lots of negativity，it's important to talk about the problem.Otherwise，if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints，you may grow annoyed or start avoiding the person.
      Remember：Quieting a constant complainer can be beneficial to both of you.
  
  （1）What did Jane Booth do to stop her mother complaining？

  
  （2）According to Paragraph 2，what are the misbeliefs about complaining？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  • Complaining frequently is a way that people ask for suggestions for their problems.

  
  （4）Your friend has been constantly complaining about almost everything in life.What would you do to help him？ （about 40 words）
