单选题For authors of self-help guides, no human problem is too great or too small. Want to become fitter, richer or happier in 2017? There are books for it— 34 upon shelves of them. Hoping for increased efficiency, decisiveness and creativity in the months ahead? There are titles for that, too. As we settle down to our New Year's 35 , well turn in droves to self-help books, hoping to find our own best selves in their pages. But a book needn't lecture to leave its imprint. The truth is that all good literature changes us, and a growing body of research suggests you might do better browsing through fiction for support in 36 life's challenges. Think of it less as self-help than 'shelf help'. Reading has been proven to sharpen 37 thinking, enabling us to better discern patterns—a handy tool when it comes to the often baffling behaviour of ourselves and others. But fiction in particular can make you more socially able. Last year, the Journal of Applied Social Psychology published a paper showing how reading Harry Potter made young people in the U. K. and Italy more 38 disposed towards stigmatised (使蒙上污名的) minorities such as 39 . And in 2013, psychologists at the New School for Social Research found that literary fiction enhanced peopled ability to 40 and read others, emotions. We think of novels as places in which to lose ourselves, but when we 41 , we take with us inspiration from our favourite characters. A 2012 study by researchers at Ohio State University found that this process could actually change a reader's behavior. In one experiment, participants strongly identifying with a 42 character who overcame obstacles to vote proved significantly more likely to vote in a real election. They may not promise transformation in seven easy steps, but gripping novels can inform and motivate, short stories can console and trigger self-reflection, and poetry has been shown to engage parts of the brain linked to memory. Sometimes an author helps by simply taking your mind off a problem, 43 you so fully in another's world and outlook that you transcend yourself, returning recharged and determined. A. accepting B. analytical C. battling D. books E. concretely F. critical G. emerge H. express I. fictional J. immersing K. positively L. refugees M. register N. resolutions O. shelves

单选题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C, and D on ANSWER SHEET 1. As one works with color in a practical or experimental way, one is impressed by two apparently unrelated facts. Color as seen is a mobile, changeable thing{{U}} (1) {{/U}}to a large extent on the relationship of the color{{U}} (2) {{/U}}other colors{{U}} (3) {{/U}}simultaneously. It is not{{U}} (4) {{/U}}in its relation to the direct stimulus which{{U}} (5) {{/U}}it. On the other hand, the properties of surfaces that give{{U}} (6) {{/U}}to color do not seem to change greatly under a wide variety of illumination color, usually (but not always) looking much the same in artificial light as in daylight. Both of these effects seem to be{{U}} (7) {{/U}}in large part to the mechanism of color{{U}} (8) {{/U}}. When the eye is{{U}} (9) {{/U}}to a colored area, there is an immediate readjustment of the{{U}} (10) {{/U}} of the eye to color in and around the area{{U}} (11) {{/U}}. This readjustment does not promptly affect the color seen but usually does affect the next area to which the{{U}} (12) {{/U}}is shifted. The longer the time of viewing, the higher the{{U}} (13) {{/U}}, and the larger the area, the greater the effect will be{{U}} (14) {{/U}}its persistence in the{{U}} (15) {{/U}}viewing situation. As indicated by the work of Wright and Schouten, it appears that, at{{U}} (16) {{/U}}for a first approximation, full adaptation takes place over{{U}} (17) {{/U}}time if the adapting source is moderately bright and the eye has been in{{U}} (18) {{/U}} darkness just previously. Also,{{U}} (19) {{/U}}of the persistence of the effect if the eye is shifted around from one object to another, all of which are at similar brightness or have similar colors, the adaptation will tend to become{{U}} (20) {{/U}}over the whole eye.

单选题 下午茶 中国饮茶的传统可以追溯到公元前3000多年，但“下午茶”的概念却是到17世纪中叶(the mid 17th century)才在英国出现的。当时那里时兴的晚餐时间是晚上8点，所以一位公爵夫人(Duchess)养成了在下午4点约朋友吃糕点的习惯。很快下午茶成为当时的社会潮流。随着东西方文化交流的加深，这个英国传统逐渐进入中国。如今，下午茶在国内日渐流行起来，尤其是在广东和福建地区。
