In 2018, when Hemesh Chadalavada was 12 years old, his grandmother forgot to turn off the gas after she made herself a cup of tea. This experience caused Hemesh to invent the “Alpha Monitor”, a device designed for dementia (痴呆) patients.
He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds.
The Alpha Monitor has two parts, one, a wearable watch-like device, and the second, an alarm which connects to it. “You attach the device to the patient. In case the patient throws it away or doesn’t like wearing it, you can just put it in a bag and fix it in their pocket or sock or wherever you like. Once you plug in the alarm, you will be warned for every tiny change in movement. As soon as the patient gets up or wanders away, it will warn the family members with a huge alarm sound,” says Hemesh.
The wearable device monitors body temperature, pulse, and detects movement, falls and more. It works using a gyroscope sensor to detect even the slightest movement and health sensors for pulse and temperature. It works without Wi-Fi or bluetooth and has a range of 1-2k m, according to Hemesh. It can also be connected to an app for children staying far away to monitor their parents’ movements.
“The happiest I’ve ever been is seeing how the device actually works for patients with Alzheimer’s. It gives me incredible happiness to see the small impact I’ve managed to create in the lives of these families,” smiles the youngster.
4. What can we learn about Hemesh from the first two paragraphs?
A. He received little formal education. B. He had a strong self-learning ability.
C. He invented the device to stop gas leaks. D. He got support from a computer engineer.
5. How does the Alpha Monitor warn people of patients’ movements?
A. By speaking into their phones. B. By producing a loud noise.
C. By making an emergency call. D. By announcing the time automatically.
6. What is a feature of the Alpha Monitor?
A. It can analyze patients’ health data. B. It can prevent patients from falling down.
C. It can track patients’ movements remotely. D. It can make a difference to patients’ recovery.
7. Which of the following can best describe Hemesh?
A. Caring and creative. B. Generous and talented.
C. Determined and honest. D. Independent and brave.
C
People who experienced trauma (精神创伤) as a child or adolescent were found to be 48 percent more likely to have serious and repeated headaches as an adult than those who had not experienced trauma in their early years, according to research published in the journal Neurology. The finding came from the analysis of data from 28 studies, involving 154,739 people.
Overall, nearly one-third of the participants reported having experienced a traumatic event at least once before age 18, and 16 percent had been diagnosed as an adult with a primary headache disorder, which means that their headaches are the main problem, rather than a symptom (症状) of an underlying disease or condition.
The researchers categorized traumatic events as either threat-based (such as physical or emotional abuse, witnessing or being threatened by violence, and serious family conflicts) or deprivation-based (including neglect, financial trouble, parents’ separation, divorce or death, and living in a household with mental illness, alcohol or substance abuse). Physical abuse and exposure to family violence were among the most commonly reported traumas.
Of those who had experienced at least one traumatic event as a youth, 26 percent subsequently were diagnosed with primary headaches, compared with 12 percent of those who had not experienced trauma.
As the number of traumatic events experienced by a child or adolescent increased, so did the odds of their having headaches later in life. For example, those who had experienced four or more traumatic events were more than twice as likely to have a head ache disorder. Also, certain traumas — physical abuse and neglect — were linked to greater risk for headaches than other types of trauma.
The study found an association between trauma as a youth and headache disorder as an adult, rather than direct proof that one led to the other. But the researchers wrote that traumas experienced as a child or adolescent “are important risk factors for primary headache disorders in adulthood,” which one of the researchers described in a statement released by the American Academy of Neurology as “a risk factor that we cannot ignore.”
8. What does the research focus on?
A. The different types of trauma experienced by children.
B. The reasons why headaches are so common among adults.
C. The influence that childhood experiences have on later life.
D. The link between childhood trauma and headaches as an adult.
9. Which of the following traumatic events is described as deprivation-based?
A. Witnessing violence. B. Physical abuse.
C. The loss of a parent. D. Criticism from teachers.
10. What does the underlined word “odds” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Complexity. B. Frequency. C. Seriousness. D. Chance.
11. What do the researchers say about childhood trauma?
A. It causes headaches. B. It deserves attention.
C. It can be prevented. D. It can be life-threatening.
D
With its neatly arranged tables and shelves loaded with books written by women, Greta Livraria’s small space masks its big ambitions. Since opening this year, the bookstore in Lisbon has contributed its space entirely to promote a group that has, for the most part, been overlooked and undervalued by society: female authors.
It is a “form of historical reparation (弥补)”, said Lorena Travassos, the founder of the store that aims to“address the longstanding gap in sales and publications faced by women”. It is the latest in a wave of bookshops that have sprung up across Europe to give voice to female authors, past and present. In Madrid, a 2017 crowdfunding campaign gave rise to Mujeres & Compañía, while in Berlin the bookshop She Said is devoted to books by female and queer authors (酷儿作家).
Six years ago in Scotland, Rachel Wood launched a book subscription service, Rare Birds, in an effort to support women’s writing. Despite the fact that some of the world’s most talented writers are women, Wood had long felt that respect for women’s writing was insufficient. “I feel so passionately that women are writing such interesting and exciting things,” said Wood. “Rare Birds is an opportunity to share that with other people.”
As interest in the subscription service grew—it now has members from more than 20 countries—a physical shop in Edinburgh soon followed. The shop’s 2021 opening illustrated the demand for a different kind of bookstore, and thousands of people visited on its first weekend. “Over and over, people tell us how exciting it feels to come into the bookstore and see every inch of shelf space devoted to women’s writing,” said Wood. “Visually, it’s very impactful. The space is designed to treat literal types typically viewed as “women’s interest” as equally as any other literature,” said Wood.
Greta Livraria has become the heart of a community that gathers regularly at the store to celebrate its efforts to value diverse perspectives and carve out a literary landscape that better reflects society.
12. Why did Lorena Travassos found Greta Livraria?
A. To create a community for book lovers.
B. To provide a space for authors to gather.
C. To help women writers get social attention.
D. To encourage females to achieve their ambitions.
13. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Women’s writing. B. Respect for writers.
C. The book subscription service. D. Rachel Wood’s feeling.
14 What can we learn from Rachel Wood’s words in paragraph 4?
A. More and more women are devoted to writing.
B. Physical shops’ opening has contributed to book sales.
C. The status of women’s literature has greatly improved.
D. Bookstores filled with female writing are gaining popularity.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Bookstores Give Voice to Female Authors
B. She Said: A Leader in Selling Female-authored Books
C. Greta Livraria: A Pioneer in Promoting Literary Works
D. Bookselling Campaigns Give Rise to the Diversity of Literature
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you are an introverted (内向) person who tends to focus too much on yourself or stay quiet in public places, don’t feel annoyed. Bestselling author Susan Cain says that supporting introverts during childhood can help shape them into high-achieving adults. ____16____
The traditional model of leaders is seen as outgoing, talkative and brave — all typical features of extroverts. ____17____ Instead, it is believed that true leaders are driven by a desire to advance ideas and new ways of seeing the world or to improve conditions for a group of people. Moreover, “calm leaders” can resolve problems more effectively and better identify which risks are worth taking, thanks to their ability to deal with information and make decisions more carefully.
In the introduction to her book, Cain shares a question she was asked all the time as a child: “Why are you so quiet?” It was usually asked out of concern, she noted. People took her silence as a sign of uneasiness or anger. In fact, she was just listening and observing her surroundings. ____18____ Cain says introverts make for the best listeners. As keen listeners, introverts can pick up on information that some extroverts might overlook. Unlike extroverts, introverts are not known for jumping to conclusions, and as a result, they tend to receive more attention and appreciation from audiences when they do speak.
____19____ However, introverts tend to contribute their best work and ideas on their own. “Introverts have an impressive ability to be independent,” Cain wrote. “We find strength in solitude (孤独) and are able to use our precious alone time to focus and concentrate.”____20____
A. Listening is one of the necessary skills in life.
B. It starts with recognizing their “hidden strengths”.
C. Extroverts are known to perform well in group settings.
D. In some way, observing is more important than listening.
E. However, leaders need such kinds of abilities to make decisions.
F. But leadership doesn’t need to be quite social or attention-seeking.
G. This is why pushing introverted kids to do group projects ends up backfiring.

47. 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。
I was an average student in my early elementary years. I came home with a steady flow of B’s, C’s and the occasional F’s in second language subjects. I was told that I wasn’t applying myself and, as every report card I ever brought home clearly stated, I talked too much.
I didn’t write when I was supposed to write. I talked to others while the teacher was giving instructions. That I could recite what she had said to the class while I was talking was not helpful because I had a negative effect on my classmates’ learning. So I regularly brought home disappointing report cards.
My parents and my teachers didn’t know what to do with me. Punishments didn’t seem to work. Rewards didn’t seem to either. And, frankly, I don’t think I knew what I could do to “apply myself”. And I certainly didn’t know how to not enjoy talking with my classmates! What I knew was that I talked too much. Until grade 5.
That autumn, we had a sudden change in teachers as our elderly teacher took a medical leave. In his place, a young substitute (代课老师) arrived — Mrs Royal. She looked like she was freshly out of university and seemed too young to be cast in the role of being responsible for a class of tween, but there she was, charged with a lively group, and me.
I don’t remember many details of that year except the afternoon when I got my first report card from her. She handed out the report cards right after the afternoon break and invited us to look them over. Then she let us know that we could all talk quietly amongst ourselves while she called each student up one at a time, in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), to discuss our report cards with her.
注意:
1.续写词数应150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I looked over my report card, expecting the usual result.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then it was my turn to talk with her.

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了一系列关于环境保护的书籍,并对每本书进行了简短的介绍和评价。
【1题详解】

In 2018, when Hemesh Chadalavada was 12 years old, his grandmother forgot to turn off the gas after she made herself a cup of tea. This experience caused Hemesh to invent the “Alpha Monitor”, a device designed for dementia (痴呆) patients.
He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds.
The Alpha Monitor has two parts, one, a wearable watch-like device, and the second, an alarm which connects to it. “You attach the device to the patient. In case the patient throws it away or doesn’t like wearing it, you can just put it in a bag and fix it in their pocket or sock or wherever you like. Once you plug in the alarm, you will be warned for every tiny change in movement. As soon as the patient gets up or wanders away, it will warn the family members with a huge alarm sound,” says Hemesh.
The wearable device monitors body temperature, pulse, and detects movement, falls and more. It works using a gyroscope sensor to detect even the slightest movement and health sensors for pulse and temperature. It works without Wi-Fi or bluetooth and has a range of 1-2k m, according to Hemesh. It can also be connected to an app for children staying far away to monitor their parents’ movements.
“The happiest I’ve ever been is seeing how the device actually works for patients with Alzheimer’s. It gives me incredible happiness to see the small impact I’ve managed to create in the lives of these families,” smiles the youngster.
4. What can we learn about Hemesh from the first two paragraphs?
A. He received little formal education. B. He had a strong self-learning ability.
C. He invented the device to stop gas leaks. D. He got support from a computer engineer.
5. How does the Alpha Monitor warn people of patients’ movements?
A. By speaking into their phones. B. By producing a loud noise.
C. By making an emergency call. D. By announcing the time automatically.
6. What is a feature of the Alpha Monitor?
A. It can analyze patients’ health data. B. It can prevent patients from falling down.
C. It can track patients’ movements remotely. D. It can make a difference to patients’ recovery.
7. Which of the following can best describe Hemesh?
A. Caring and creative. B. Generous and talented.
C. Determined and honest. D. Independent and brave.

People who experienced trauma (精神创伤) as a child or adolescent were found to be 48 percent more likely to have serious and repeated headaches as an adult than those who had not experienced trauma in their early years, according to research published in the journal Neurology. The finding came from the analysis of data from 28 studies, involving 154,739 people.
Overall, nearly one-third of the participants reported having experienced a traumatic event at least once before age 18, and 16 percent had been diagnosed as an adult with a primary headache disorder, which means that their headaches are the main problem, rather than a symptom (症状) of an underlying disease or condition.
The researchers categorized traumatic events as either threat-based (such as physical or emotional abuse, witnessing or being threatened by violence, and serious family conflicts) or deprivation-based (including neglect, financial trouble, parents’ separation, divorce or death, and living in a household with mental illness, alcohol or substance abuse). Physical abuse and exposure to family violence were among the most commonly reported traumas.
Of those who had experienced at least one traumatic event as a youth, 26 percent subsequently were diagnosed with primary headaches, compared with 12 percent of those who had not experienced trauma.
As the number of traumatic events experienced by a child or adolescent increased, so did the odds of their having headaches later in life. For example, those who had experienced four or more traumatic events were more than twice as likely to have a head ache disorder. Also, certain traumas — physical abuse and neglect — were linked to greater risk for headaches than other types of trauma.
The study found an association between trauma as a youth and headache disorder as an adult, rather than direct proof that one led to the other. But the researchers wrote that traumas experienced as a child or adolescent “are important risk factors for primary headache disorders in adulthood,” which one of the researchers described in a statement released by the American Academy of Neurology as “a risk factor that we cannot ignore.”
8. What does the research focus on?
A. The different types of trauma experienced by children.
B. The reasons why headaches are so common among adults.
C. The influence that childhood experiences have on later life.
D. The link between childhood trauma and headaches as an adult.
9. Which of the following traumatic events is described as deprivation-based?
A. Witnessing violence. B. Physical abuse.
C. The loss of a parent. D. Criticism from teachers.
10. What does the underlined word “odds” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Complexity. B. Frequency. C. Seriousness. D. Chance.
11. What do the researchers say about childhood trauma?
A. It causes headaches. B. It deserves attention.
C. It can be prevented. D. It can be life-threatening.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于儿时或青少年时期经历精神创伤与成年后反复严重头痛之间的关联性的一项研究,研究结果显示在儿童或青少年时期经历过精神创伤的人成年后患严重和反复头痛的可能性比那些早年没有经历过创伤的人高48%。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“People who experienced trauma (精神创伤) as a child or adolescent were found to be 48 percent more likely to have serious and repeated headaches as an adult than those who had not experienced trauma in their early years, according to research published in the journal Neurology.(发表在《神经病学》杂志上的一项研究发现,在儿童或青少年时期经历过创伤的人,成年后出现严重和反复头痛的可能性比那些早年没有经历过创伤的人高48%)”以及最后一段“The study found an association between trauma as a youth and headache disorder as an adult, rather than direct proof that one led to the other.(该研究发现,青少年时期的创伤与成年后的头痛疾病之间存在联系,而不是直接证明两者之间存在因果关系)”可知,研究的重点是童年创伤和成年后头痛之间的联系。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers categorized traumatic events as either threat-based (such as physical or emotional abuse, witnessing or being threatened by violence, and serious family conflicts) or deprivation-based (including neglect, financial trouble, parents’ separation, divorce or death, and living in a household with mental illness, alcohol or substance abuse).(研究人员将创伤性事件归类为基于威胁的(如身体或情感虐待,目睹或受到暴力威胁,严重的家庭冲突)或基于剥夺的(包括忽视,经济问题,父母分居,离婚或死亡,生活在一个有精神疾病,酗酒或滥用药物的家庭中))”可知,父母死亡被描述为基于剥夺的创伤性事件。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“For example, those who had experienced four or more traumatic events were more than twice as likely to have a head ache disorder.(例如,那些经历过四次或更多创伤事件的人患头痛疾病的可能性是常人的两倍多)”可知,划线词所在句“As the number of traumatic events experienced by a child or adolescent increased, so did the odds of their having headaches later in life.(随着儿童或青少年经历的创伤事件数量的增加,他们在以后的生活中患头痛的odds也会增加。)”表达的意思是:青少年经历的创伤事件数量的增加,他们在以后的生活中患头痛的可能性也会增加;odds应是“可能性,几率”之意,和D项“Chance”意思一致。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the researchers wrote that traumas experienced as a child or adolescent “are important risk factors for primary headache disorders in adulthood,” which one of the researchers described in a statement released by the American Academy of Neurology as “a risk factor that we cannot ignore.”(但研究人员写道,儿童或青少年时期经历的创伤‘是成年后原发性头痛疾病的重要风险因素’,其中一名研究人员在美国神经病学学会发表的一份声明中称,这是‘我们不能忽视的风险因素’)”可知,研究人员认为童年创伤是成年后原发性头痛疾病的重要风险因素,是我们不能忽视的风险因素,值得关注。故选B项。

With its neatly arranged tables and shelves loaded with books written by women, Greta Livraria’s small space masks its big ambitions. Since opening this year, the bookstore in Lisbon has contributed its space entirely to promote a group that has, for the most part, been overlooked and undervalued by society: female authors.
It is a “form of historical reparation (弥补)”, said Lorena Travassos, the founder of the store that aims to“address the longstanding gap in sales and publications faced by women”. It is the latest in a wave of bookshops that have sprung up across Europe to give voice to female authors, past and present. In Madrid, a 2017 crowdfunding campaign gave rise to Mujeres & Compañía, while in Berlin the bookshop She Said is devoted to books by female and queer authors (酷儿作家).
Six years ago in Scotland, Rachel Wood launched a book subscription service, Rare Birds, in an effort to support women’s writing. Despite the fact that some of the world’s most talented writers are women, Wood had long felt that respect for women’s writing was insufficient. “I feel so passionately that women are writing such interesting and exciting things,” said Wood. “Rare Birds is an opportunity to share that with other people.”
As interest in the subscription service grew—it now has members from more than 20 countries—a physical shop in Edinburgh soon followed. The shop’s 2021 opening illustrated the demand for a different kind of bookstore, and thousands of people visited on its first weekend. “Over and over, people tell us how exciting it feels to come into the bookstore and see every inch of shelf space devoted to women’s writing,” said Wood. “Visually, it’s very impactful. The space is designed to treat literal types typically viewed as “women’s interest” as equally as any other literature,” said Wood.
Greta Livraria has become the heart of a community that gathers regularly at the store to celebrate its efforts to value diverse perspectives and carve out a literary landscape that better reflects society.
12. Why did Lorena Travassos found Greta Livraria?
A. To create a community for book lovers.
B. To provide a space for authors to gather.
C. To help women writers get social attention.
D. To encourage females to achieve their ambitions.
13. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Women’s writing. B. Respect for writers.
C. The book subscription service. D. Rachel Wood’s feeling.
14. What can we learn from Rachel Wood’s words in paragraph 4?
A. More and more women are devoted to writing.
B. Physical shops’ opening has contributed to book sales.
C. The status of women’s literature has greatly improved.
D. Bookstores filled with female writing are gaining popularity.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Bookstores Give Voice to Female Authors
B. She Said: A Leader in Selling Female-authored Books
C. Greta Livraria: A Pioneer in Promoting Literary Works
D. Bookselling Campaigns Give Rise to the Diversity of Literature
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了一些书店致力于为一个被社会忽视和低估的群体:女性作家发声,并为之所做出的努力。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Since opening this year, the bookstore in Lisbon has contributed its space entirely to promote a group that has, for the most part, been overlooked and undervalued by society: female authors.(自今年开业以来,这家位于里斯本的书店一直致力于推广一个在很大程度上被社会忽视和低估的群体:女性作家。)”以及第二段中“It is the latest in a wave of bookshops that have sp rung up across Europe to give voice to female authors, past and present.(这是欧洲各地兴起的为过去和现在的女性作家发声的书店浪潮中最新的一家。)”可知,Lorena Travassos建立Greta Livraria这家书店的目的是帮助女性作家得到社会的关注。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段第一句“Six years ago in Scotland, Rachel Wood launched a book subscription service, Rare Birds, in an effort to support women’s writing.(六年前,在苏格兰, Rachel Wood推出了一项图书订阅服务Rare Birds,以支持女性写作。)”以及划线词之前““I feel so passionately that women are writing such interesting and exciting things,” said Wood. “Rare Birds is an opportunity to share(“看到女性写出如此有趣和令人兴奋的东西,我感到非常激动。”Wood说。“Rare Birds是一个分享的机会)”可知,因为看到女性写出的东西非常有趣和令人兴奋,所以Rachel Wood推出了一项图书订阅服务Rare Birds,希望通过这种方式来分享女性作品,所以此处划线词that指代的是女性作品。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The shop’s 2021 opening illustrated the demand for a different kind of bookstore, and thousands of people visited on its first weekend. “Over and over, people tell us how exciting it feels to come into the bookstore and see every inch of shelf space devoted to women’s writing,” said Wood. “Visually, it’s very impactful.(这家书店于2021年开业,说明了人们对一种不同类型书店的需求,开张第一个周末就有数千人前来参观。Wood说:“一遍又一遍,人们告诉我们,走进书店,看到书架上的每一寸都是女性写作,感觉多么兴奋。从视觉上看,它非常有影响力。)”可知摆满女性作品的书店越来越受到欢迎。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“With its neatly arranged tables and shelves loaded with books written by women, Greta Livraria’s small space masks its big ambitions. Since opening this year, the bookstore in Lisbon has contributed its space entirely to promote a group that has, for the most part, been overlooked and undervalued by society: female authors.(摆放整齐的桌子和架子上摆满了女性作家写的书,Greta Livraria的小空间掩盖了它的远大抱负。自今年开业以来,这家位于里斯本的书店一直致力于推广一个在很大程度上被社会忽视和低估的群体:女性作家。)”以及文章其他段落内容可知,本文主要讲述了一些书店致力于为一个被社会忽视和低估的群体:女性作家发声,并为之所做出的努力,所以A项New Bookstores Give Voice to Female Authors(新书店为女性作家发声)最能概括文章主旨大意,作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you are an introverted (内向) person who tends to focus too much on yourself or stay quiet in public places, don’t feel annoyed. Bestselling author Susan Cain says that supporting introverts during childhood can help shape them into high-achieving adults. ____16____
The traditional model of leaders is seen as outgoing, talkative and brave — all typical features of extroverts. ____17____ Instead, it is believed that true leaders are driven by a desire to advance ideas and new ways of seeing the world or to improve conditions for a group of people. Moreover, “calm leaders” can resolve problems more effectively and better identify which risks are worth taking, thanks to their ability to deal with information and make decisions more carefully.
In the introduction to her book, Cain shares a question she was asked all the time as a child: “Why are you so quiet?” It was usually asked out of concern, she noted. People took her silence as a sign of uneasiness or anger. In fact, she was just listening and observing her surroundings. ____18____ Cain says introverts make for the best listeners. As keen listeners, introverts can pick up on information that some extroverts might overlook. Unlike extroverts, introverts are not known for jumping to conclusions, and as a result, they tend to receive more attention and appreciation from audiences when they do speak.
____19____ However, introverts tend to contribute their best work and ideas on their own. “Introverts have an impressive ability to be independent,” Cain wrote. “We find strength in solitude (孤独) and are able to use our precious alone time to focus and concentrate.”____20____
A. Listening is one of the necessary skills in life.
B. It starts with recognizing their “hidden strengths”.
C. Extroverts are known to perform well in group settings.
D. In some way, observing is more important than listening.
E. However, leaders need such kinds of abilities to make decisions.
F. But leadership doesn’t need to be quite social or attention-seeking.
G This is why pushing introverted kids to do group projects ends up backfiring.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. C 20. G

【16题详解】
上文“Bestselling author Susan Cain says that supporting introverts during childhood can help shape them into high-achieving adults.(畅销书作家苏珊·凯恩说,在童年时期支持内向的人可以帮助他们成长为成就卓越的成年人)”提出在童年时期支持内向的人可以帮助他们成长,B项“It starts with recognizing their “hidden strengths”.(首先要认识到他们“隐藏的优势”)”承接上文,介绍如何支持他们:认识到他们“隐藏的优势”。第二段“The traditional model of leaders is seen as outgoing, talkative and brave — all typical features of extroverts. 2 Instead, it is believed that true leaders are driven by a desire to advance ideas and new ways of seeing the world or to improve conditions for a group of people. Moreover, “calm leaders” can resolve problems more effectively and better identify which risks are worth taking, thanks to their ability to deal with information and make decisions more carefully.(传统的领导模式被认为是外向、健谈和勇敢的——这些都是外向者的典型特征。 2 。相反,人们相信,真正的领导者是被一种欲望所驱动的,这种欲望推动着他们提出想法,以新的方式看待世界,或者改善一群人的状况。此外,“冷静的领导者”可以更有效地解决问题,更好地识别哪些风险值得承担,这要感谢他们处理信息和更仔细地做出决策的能力)”对B项中“隐藏的优势”进行了详细说明,上下文语意连贯。故选B项。

39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:今年2月,天水的一位网友在流行的社交媒体平台抖音上发布了一段当地麻辣烫的自拍视频。空处为谓语动词,由时间状语In February可知动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。故填posted。

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:天水,意为“天水”,雨量少,阳光充足,温差大,出产的调味料口感好,品质高。此处应填非谓语动词,此处指“Tianshui has little rainfall, sufficient sunlight, and large temperature differences”这一地理条件所带来的自然而然的结果,应用现在分词短语作结果状语。故填producing。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:当地出产的原料,如甘谷辣椒、秦安花椒和定西土豆,是天水麻辣烫独特风味和诱人外观的秘诀。提示词与flavor并列作宾语,用名词appearance,意为“外观”,不可数。故填appearance。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
I was an average student in my early elementary years. I came home with a steady flow of B’s, C’s and the occasional F’s in second language subjects. I was told that I wasn’t applying myself and, as every report card I ever brought home clearly stated, I talked too much.
I didn’t write when I was supposed to write. I talked to others while the teacher was giving instructions. That I could recite what she had said to the class while I was talking was not helpful because I had a negative effect on my classmates’ learning. So I regularly brought home disappointing report cards.
My parents and my teachers didn’t know what to do with me. Punishments didn’t seem to work. Rewards didn’t seem to either. And, frankly, I don’t think I knew what I could do to “apply myself”. And I certainly didn’t know how to not enjoy talking with my classmates! What I knew was that I talked too much. Until grade 5.
That autumn, we had a sudden change in teachers as our elderly teacher took a medical leave. In his place, a young substitute (代课老师) arrived — Mrs Royal. She looked like she was freshly out of university and seemed too young to be cast in the role of being responsible for a class of tween, but there she was, charged with a lively group, and me.
I don’t remember many details of that year except the afternoon when I got my first report card from her. She handed out the report cards right after the afternoon break and invited us to look them over. Then she let us know that we could all talk quietly amongst ourselves while she called each student up one at a time, in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), to discuss our report cards with her.
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 looked over my report card, expecting the usual result.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then it was my turn to talk with her.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I looked over my report card, expecting the usual result. But to my surprise, her feedback was different. Instead of focusing on the negatives, she pointed out the improvements I had made. She acknowledged my efforts, however small, and encouraged me to keep working on my weaknesses. I double-checked and made sure it was definitely my report card. Even though we had been given permission to talk amongst ourselves, I had very little to say to friends as I waited anxiously for her to call my name.
Then it was my turn to talk with her. She began with a warm smile, “You have any questions for me?” I remember looking down at my report card and saying, “I don’t get A’s, besides, nowhere on here does it say I talk too much.” She said, “I figured you already knew you talked too much, so I thought I could tell you something different. As for the grades, you earned the A’s.” From that day on, I knew I was capable of “straight A’s” and could have qualities other than that of a student who talked too much in class.
【解析】
【导语】本文以学生的学习经历和改变为线索展开,讲述了“我”在小学早期是一个成绩中等且爱在课堂上讲话的学生。由于这种不良习惯,“我”不仅影响了自己的学习,还对同学产生了负面影响,导致常常带回家令人失望的成绩单。尽管父母和老师尝试了各种方法,但都没有显著效果。直到五年级时,班里来了一位年轻的代课老师Mrs Royal,她以不同的教学方式处理成绩单,让“我”对自己的学习问题有了新的认识和期待。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我看了看我的成绩单,期待着和往常一样的结果。”可知,第一段可描写作者得到的成绩单和往常不同。
②由第二段首句内容“然后轮到我和她说话了。”可知,第二段可描写作者和Mrs Royal交流的具体内容。
2. 续写线索:成绩单反馈不同——肯定进步——开始谈话——给于肯定——感动。
3. 词汇激活
行类
①指出:point out/identify
②鼓励:encourage/inspire
③认为:figure/think
情绪类
①惊讶:surprise/astonishment
②焦急地:anxiously/nervously
【点睛】[高分句型1]Even though we had been given permission to talk amongst ourselves, I had very little to say to friends as I waited anxiously for her to call my name.(运用了even though引导的让步状语从句和as引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] I don’t get A’s, besides, nowhere on here does it say I talk too much.(运用了nowhere位于句首的倒装句以及省略that的宾语从句)
