2019届高三英语考前冲刺模拟卷9
1、 Anger is not wrong.I know this statement seems shocking and challenges the wildly popular “Positive
Thinking” movement, which encourages us to “be full of positive energy” and “let go of our anger”.However, the
truth is that anger is just an emotion, and emotions are neither right nor do not consciously choose
do, on the other hand, choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong
means of expression.
The reason we're often urged to “keep a lid on” our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive
ways to express d, we are taught that “anger is wrong”and “you should keep your anger inside”.But
these messages don't change the fact that, for most of us, anger exists.
Many popular “Positive Thinking” programmes assume that success comes from “controlling our
emotions”and that this can be done by simply repeating positive stingly, these positive slogans
often include a lot of negativity. “Only losers complain!I am a winner!” is one popular belief that those
who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and
personal attacks.
When it comes to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives, the ability to reasonably express anger or
disagreement is an important we must use balanced and non-violent methods to express our
ation at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger, but our anger can never be an
excuse for abusing family members, damaging schools, attacking doctors or most seriously, engaging in
terrorism.
Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist, we should start teaching appropriate means of dealing with
we experience angry feelings in ourselves or others, what we should “let go of ” is the silly idea that
we can remove anger with just a few sweet d, we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of
those angry need to accept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent and
destructive isn't wrong, but failure to deal with it appropriately is.

3、 Many Android and iPhone owners use Google services on their mobile phones or tablets. One of the most
widely used location(位置)services is Google Maps. When someone uses Google Maps, information about times
and locations are recorded and stored.
Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example,are designed to identify a user's
location to provide local weather information. Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of
information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.


Google says it collects the data to improve users' localized experiences. But such practices have also raised
privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier
for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking
permission to use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app
access to locations. If a user agrees to let Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show
this history in a
Google also has a
time. And when Location Histoiy is turned off for a users account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that
Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be tme, finding that Google
continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.
Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is
not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is called

4、“How can we live longer?” many people wonder. Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.
Relationships with family, friends, neighbors, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿)
boost seems to come from marriage or an equal relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr,
who wrote in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of
dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a
man’s life and two to a woman’s, The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.
Even though the odds are stacked against you (the conditions are not favourable to you), marriage can more
than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease
can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man
who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a less
pleasant
side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses;
death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so,
the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical
School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.
So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socioeconomic factor, health- service provision,
emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms (机制). For example, social contact can boost
development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life.
People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a
supportive partner.
A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The best social
network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected so their health is
interconnected.”
m Farr’s study and other studies show that ________.
life provides an effective cure for illness
sociable helps improve one’s quality of life
benefit more than men from marriage
ge contributes a great deal to longevity
does the underlined word “compensate” in the second paragraph probably mean?
