B Disney finally has its first young plus-size heroine, and fans across the Internet are in high spirits. “Reflect” is a short film now on Disney about a young ballet dancer named Bianca who struggles with her body image. In the short (短片), Bianca doesn’t want to but has to look at herself in the mirror, checking her posture. Always feeling depressed to find herself fatty and ugly, she almost gives up dancing ballet. Though body positivity and self-acceptance can be easier said than done, eventually, she overcome her negative feelings and dance freely. Though the film was first released on the platform in September, many social media users are now celebrating “Reflect” as a win for representation among the young. “16 year old me needed this Disney short before I quit ballet because I didn’t want to be the fat girl in class anymore,” one user on Twitter said. “I’m glad little ones (小朋友) will have this. 10/10 (10 分满分评级) for Reflect!” “I don’t think you all comprehend, this is my Ariel,” a TikTok user said in a video, titled “Disney, you really got me in my feelings.” Making the film from the perspective of a dancer, director Hillary Bradfield explained, felt natural. “When people watch the short, I hope that they can feel more positively about themselves and how they look, and feel okay about the tough parts of their journey,” Bradfield said. 24. Which of the following best describes Bianca? A. Sensitive. B. Ambitious. C. Warm-hearted. D. Energetic. 25. Why were the online comments of “Reflect” mentioned? A. To tell the truth of the short. B. To show their favor to “Reflect”. C. To give an explanation of “Reflect”. D. To make a comparison with other movies. 26. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Don’t judge a book by its cover. C. All that glitters is not gold. D. It’s self-acceptance that really counts. 7. In which section of a magazine can we read the passage? A. Sport and health. B. Science and technology. C. Movie and art. D. Travel and history. C Elephants may be known for their size and strength, but tourists who ride on their backs can still do great harm. A picture provided by the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Thailand (WFFT) shows Pai Lin, a 71-year-old female elephant whose back has become disfigured (变形) after 25 years of working in the tourism industry, where she was forced to carry up to six tourists at a time. Pai Lin’s back still bears scars from old pressure points. This continuous pressure on elephants’ bodies can deteriorate the bones on their back, causing long-lasting physical damage. Pai Lin was abandoned (遗弃) by her previous owner, who felt that she was too slow and always in pain and couldn’t work well anymore. Elephant rides are a popular tourist activity in countries across Southeast Asia, but activists say the practice is a form of animal abuse (虐待) as their bodies are not designed to be ridden. They say the animals are also often abused and exploited in other industries like long marching and logging, with many dying from exhaustion and hunger as they are really forced to work until death. The group was sharing Pai Lin’s story to raise awareness about elephant abuse. Pai Lin is living out her days with 24 other rescued elephants in WFFT’s preserve near the seaside town of Hua Hin, about a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok. She’s older now and has put on weight. But you can see the shape of her back very clearly—it’s a physical disfigurement she will have to live with, but she’s doing well. The “old lady” enjoys having her own space. But she really enjoys being around the company of other elephants and likes attention from people. She does get moody (喜怒无常的) when it involves food but she is a very lovely elephant. 28. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Relax. B. Worsen. C. Balance. D. Strengthen. 29. Why did Pai Lin’s previous owner give her up? A. She ate too much. B. She usually attacked tourists. C. She was dying from illness. D. She was no longer fit for her job. 30. Which of the following agrees with the ideas of activists? A. Elephants should help humans do what they can’t do. B. Elephants should work in many fields except tourism. C. Elephants should be ridden by fewer than 6 people. D. Elephants should be better treated by people. 31. Which of the following can best describe the present Pai Lin? A. Curious. B. Energetic. C. Friendly. D. Annoying. D Tai chi, a traditional, slow-moving form of Chinese martial art, is known to increase flexibility and improve balance. Now, new research suggests it’s better than more energetic aerobic exercises (有氧运动) for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期). Prehypertension is considered a warning sign that heart disease may be ahead, and it raises the risk of having a heart attack. The new findings, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, add to a large body of research pointing to health benefits from tai chi. In the study, researchers in China randomly assigned 342 adults with prehypertension to one of two interventions. The average age of participants was 49. Roughly half the people participated in aerobic exercises, including jogging, climbing stairs, brisk walking and cycling. The other half was trained to practice tai chi. Both groups got hour-long sessions four times a week. After 12 months, those in the tai chi group saw bigger drops in their blood pressure than those in the aerobic exercise group. What’s more, nearly 22% of the people who practiced tai chi saw their blood pressure fall to within normal range, compared with nearly 16% of people in the aerobic exercise group. And fewer patients in the tai chi group went on to develop hypertension than in the aerobic exercise group. How does tai chi help lower blood pressure? The practice tends to cause more of a response from the parasympathetic nervous system (副交感神经系统), says Ruth Taylor-Piliae, a professor at the University of Arizona’s College of Nursing, who was not involved in the study. The parasympathetic nervous system is the network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger. “I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don’t have to have a special gym membership or special clothing,” Taylor-Piliae says. “Once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And it does kind of provide that calming, relaxing effect.” 32. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The result of the research. B. The process of the research. C. The purpose of the research. D. The application of the research. 33. How does the author mainly organize Paragraph 4? A By giving a definition. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting different opinions. 34. What is Taylor-Piliae’s attitude towards doing tai chi? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Tai chi Helps Relax Nervous People B. Tai chi Helps People Prevent Prehypertension C. Tai chi Plays a Crucial Role in Treating Patients D. Tai chi Reduces Blood Pressure Better than Aerobic Exercise 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。 In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for You These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being. Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. ____36____ Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala — the center of emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive control and planning. In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate. ____37____ Step 2: Own Your Stress The next step is to welcome, or “own” your stress. We only stress about things that we care about. ____38____ Try completing this sentence about whatever was specifically stressing you out in step one: “I’m stressed about…because I deeply care about…” Step 3: Use Your Stress Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using or leveraging stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most. Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? ____39____ There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control. ____40____ Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your coronavirus stress as energy to make the most of this time. A. Think about how you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose. B. You can release stress from the past and more with emotional focus techniques. C. By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress. D. But — as many people are noticing — there are also unprecedented opportunities amid the fear. E. Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most. F. But later, we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis. G. This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I found a brown bag outside after our move. “Grass Seed,” it said in big letters. My husband and I ____41____ the seeds all over the dirty yard in front of our new house. “I have no idea if they will ____42____,” I told him, “but it’s worth a shot.” Just like our ____43____ to move to the rural Arizona. Near our new house sat a charming cottage, which was ____44____ to tourists. I got a job offer to ____45____ the cottage. I’d worked in hotels for years, so when offered the ____46____, I jumped at it. Still, it was a big change. I ____47____ that it would be a right move. While we waited for our grass to grow — or not — we ____48____ settled into our new house through our efforts. We made it a cozy home, despite the ____49____ in the front yard, which was still bare now. Meanwhile, many of the cottage guests became _____50_____, and I got to know them well. I felt _____51_____ to make their stays memorable. Perhaps I was better at that than _____52_____. But after a monsoon (季风) swept through, I woke up to a beautiful morning and looked out the window. There was no grass growing in the sunlight. _____53_____, our yard was covered in a rainbow of zinnias (百日菊)! The front yard turned out even better than I could have _____54_____, just like our new life. And it remains a powerful _____55_____ of the beauty that awaits us in our new chapter. 41.

Johnny would be six years old in two weeks. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “I wonder what I can do to make my brother’s birthday special.” I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint-by-number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the comer. I decided to empty my coin jar (存钱罐) and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars,” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I had saved. Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents’ bedroom where my dad kept loose change (零钱) on top of the dresser (梳妆台). I stood on my tiptoes and saw some coins. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once,” I thought. However, I was soon overcome by guilt (负罪感). Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all. However, I still put all the change I found into my own pocket. I slid out of my parents’ room and headed toward the door. “Where are you going, Arwen? ” Mom asked, “Oh, just up to the corner store,” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long, Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom” I ran out of our house. Once I got to the store, I took the paint-by-number kit from the shelf. “Can I help you, young lady?” the saleswoman asked. “No. I'm just looking, thank you,” I said. “That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and as you can see, that's the last one.” she said. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I nodded my head in agreement, thinking hard. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年第二学期高中英语人教版（2019）期末 复习监测金卷（五） 考生注意： 1.本试卷由四个部分组成。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

In the short (短片), Bianca doesn’t want to but has to look at herself in the mirror, checking her posture. Always feeling depressed to find herself fatty and ugly, she almost gives up dancing ballet. Though body positivity and self-acceptance can be easier said than done, eventually, she overcome her negative feelings and dance freely.

A picture provided by the Wildlife Friends Foundation in Thailand (WFFT) shows Pai Lin, a 71-year-old female elephant whose back has become disfigured (变形) after 25 years of working in the tourism industry, where she was forced to carry up to six tourists at a time. Pai Lin’s back still bears scars from old pressure points. This continuous pressure on elephants’ bodies can deteriorate the bones on their back, causing long-lasting physical damage. Pai Lin was abandoned (遗弃) by her previous owner, who felt that she was too slow and always in pain and couldn’t work well anymore. Elephant rides are a popular tourist activity in countries across Southeast Asia, but activists say the practice is a form of animal abuse (虐待) as their bodies are not designed to be ridden. They say the animals are also often abused and exploited in other industries like long marching and logging, with many dying from exhaustion and hunger as they are really forced to work until death. The group was sharing Pai Lin’s story to raise awareness about elephant abuse. Pai Lin is living out her days with 24 other rescued elephants in WFFT’s preserve near the seaside town of Hua Hin, about a 2.5-hour drive from Bangkok. She’s older now and has put on weight. But you can see the shape of her back very clearly—it’s a physical disfigurement she will have to live with, but she’s doing well. The “old lady” enjoys having her own space. But she really enjoys being around the company of other elephants and likes attention from people. She does get moody (喜怒无常的) when it involves food but she is a very lovely elephant. 28. What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Relax. B. Worsen. C. Balance. D. Strengthen. 29. Why did Pai Lin’s previous owner give her up? A. She ate too much. B. She usually attacked tourists. C. She was dying from illness. D. She was no longer fit for her job. 30. Which of the following agrees with the ideas of activists? A. Elephants should help humans do what they can’t do. B. Elephants should work in many fields except tourism. C. Elephants should be ridden by fewer than 6 people. D. Elephants should be better treated by people. 31. Which of the following can best describe the present Pai Lin? A. Curious. B. Energetic. C. Friendly. D. Annoying. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了骑大象对大象的伤害以及人们为保护大象所做的努力。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“causing long-lasting physical damage. (造成长期的身体损伤。)”可知，这种对大象身体的持续压力会使它们背部的骨骼受损。A. Relax. 放松；B. Worsen.恶化； C. Balance.使(在某物上)保持平衡；D. Strengthen.加强。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Pai Lin was abandoned(遗弃)by her previous owner, who felt that she was too slow and always in pain and couldn’t work well anymore. (白琳被她的前主人抛弃了，他觉得她太慢了，总是很痛苦，不能再好好工作了。)”可知，白琳的前任主人把她抛弃是因为它不能再胜任它的工作了。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Elephant rides are a popular tourist activity in countries across Southeast Asia, but activists say the practice is a form of animal abuse(虐待)as their bodies are not designed to be ridden. They say the animals are also often abused and exploited in other industries like long marching and logging, with many dying from exhaustion and hunger as they are really forced to work until death. (在东南亚各国，骑大象是一种受欢迎的旅游活动，但积极分子表示，这种做法是虐待动物的一种形式，因为大象的身体不是用来骑的。他们说，这些动物在其他行业也经常受到虐待和剥削，比如长征和伐木，许多动物死于疲惫和饥饿，因为它们真的被迫工作到死。)”可知，积极分子认为大象遭到了人们的虐待。由此推知，他们认为应该更好地对待大象。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“The “old lady” enjoys having her own space. But she really enjoys being around the company of other elephants and likes attention from people. She does get moody(喜怒无常的)when it involves food but she is a very lovely elephant. (“老太太”喜欢有自己的空间。但她真的很喜欢和其它大象在一起，也喜欢别人的关注。当涉及到食物时，它确实会情绪化，但它是一头非常可爱的大象。)”可知，白琳喜欢和别的大象在一起，喜欢别人的关注，而且也非常可爱。由此推知，它现在很友好。故选C。 D Tai chi, a traditional, slow-moving form of Chinese martial art, is known to increase flexibility and improve balance. Now, new research suggests it’s better than more energetic aerobic exercises (有氧运动) for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期). Prehypertension is considered a warning sign that heart disease may be ahead, and it raises the risk of having a heart attack. The new findings, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, add to a large body of research pointing to health benefits from tai chi. In the study, researchers in China randomly assigned 342 adults with prehypertension to one of two interventions. The average age of participants was 49. Roughly half the people participated in aerobic exercises, including jogging, climbing stairs, brisk walking and cycling. The other half was trained to practice tai chi. Both groups got hour-long sessions four times a week. After 12 months, those in the tai chi group saw bigger drops in their blood pressure than those in the aerobic exercise group. What’s more, nearly 22% of the people who practiced tai chi saw their blood pressure fall to within normal range, compared with nearly 16% of people in the aerobic exercise group. And fewer patients in the tai chi group went on to develop hypertension than in the aerobic exercise group. How does tai chi help lower blood pressure? The practice tends to cause more of a response from the parasympathetic nervous system (副交感神经系统), says Ruth Taylor-Piliae, a professor at the University of Arizona’s College of Nursing, who was not involved in the study. The parasympathetic nervous system is the network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger. “I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don’t have to have a special gym membership or special clothing,” Taylor-Piliae says. “Once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And it does kind of provide that calming, relaxing effect.” 32. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The result of the research. B. The process of the research. C. The purpose of the research. D. The application of the research. 33. How does the author mainly organize Paragraph 4? A By giving a definition. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting different opinions. 34. What is Taylor-Piliae’s attitude towards doing tai chi? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Tai chi Helps Relax Nervous People B. Tai chi Helps People Prevent Prehypertension C. Tai chi Plays a Crucial Role in Treating Patients D. Tai chi Reduces Blood Pressure Better than Aerobic Exercise 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35.

The average age of participants was 49. Roughly half the people participated in aerobic exercises, including jogging, climbing stairs, brisk walking and cycling. The other half was trained to practice tai chi. Both groups got hour-long sessions four times a week. (在这项研究中，中国的研究人员随机将342名患有高血压前期的成年人分为两组。参与者的平均年龄为49岁。大约一半的人参加了有氧运动，包括慢跑、爬楼梯、快走和骑自行车。另一半被训练去练太极。两组人每周四次，每次一小时。)”可知，文章第三段介绍了这项研究的试验过程。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“After 12 months, those in the tai chi group saw bigger drops in their blood pressure than those in the aerobic exercise group. What’s more, nearly 22% of the people who practiced tai chi saw their blood pressure fall to within normal range, compared with nearly 16% of people in the aerobic exercise group. And fewer patients in the tai chi group went on to develop hypertension than in the aerobic exercise group. (12个月后，太极拳组的血压下降幅度大于有氧运动组。更重要的是，练太极的人中有近22%的人血压降到了正常范围内，而练有氧运动的人中有近16%的人血压降到了正常范围内。与有氧运动组相比，太极拳组的患者患高血压的人数更少。)”可知，本段将练太极的人和进行有氧运动的人的血压下降幅度对应的人数进行对比，并将两项运动患高血压的人数进行对比。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don’t have to have a special gym membership or special clothing,” Taylor-Piliae says. “Once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And it does kind of provide that calming, relaxing effect.” (泰勒-皮利亚说：“我认为太极拳的美妙之处在于，你不需要有特殊的健身房会员资格或特殊的服装。一旦你学会了太极，你就可以在任何时间、任何地点、任何地方练习。它确实提供了一种平静、放松的效果。”)”可知，从Taylor-Piliae所说的话中，我们可以知道，他对于太极运动持有支持态度。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Tai chi, a traditional, slow-moving form of Chinese martial art, is known to increase flexibility and improve balance. Now, new research suggests it’s better than more energetic aerobic exercises (有氧运动) for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期). (太极拳是一种传统的慢动作中国武术，以增强柔韧性和改善平衡而闻名。现在，新的研究表明，对于高血压前期患者来说，它比更多的有氧运动更能降低血压。)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了太极运动比起有氧运动有更优越的降低血压的功效。D选项“太极拳比有氧运动更能降低血压”为最佳标题。故选D。 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。 In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for You These are stressful times. Fortunately, we can actually use that stress to improve our health and well-being. Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact. ____36____ Step 1: Acknowledge Your Stress Labeling your stress consciously and deliberately moves neural activity from the amygdala — the center of emotion and fear — to the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for executive control and planning. In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate. ____37____ Step 2: Own Your Stress The next step is to welcome, or “own” your stress. We only stress about things that we care about. ____38____ Try completing this sentence about whatever was specifically stressing you out in step one: “I’m stressed about…because I deeply care about…” Step 3: Use Your Stress Connecting to the core values behind your stress sets you up for the third and most essential step: using or leveraging stress to achieve your goals and connect more deeply with the things that matter most. Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress? ____39____ There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control. ____40____ Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises. The trick is to channel your coronavirus stress as energy to make the most of this time. A. Think about how you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose. B. You can release stress from the past and more with emotional focus techniques. C. By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress. D. But — as many people are noticing — there are also unprecedented opportunities amid the fear. E. Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most. F. But later, we will be able to ask ourselves how we each responded to this crisis. G. This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety. 【答案】36. E 37. G 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在压力大的时期如何有效利用压力来提升健康和幸福感的策略。 【36题详解】 根据上一句“Over a decade of research suggests that it’s not the type or amount of stress that determines its impact.”（十多年的研究表明，决定压力影响的不是压力的类型或数量。）可知，空格处应该表达的是与压力的类型或数量无关的决定压力影响的因素，E选项“Instead, it’s our mind-set about stress that matters most.”（相反，最重要的是我们对压力的心态。）符合上下文语境。故选E。 【37题详解】 根据上一句“In other words, when we take a moment to acknowledge our stress, it moves us from operating from a fearful, reactive place to a position where we can be thoughtful and deliberate.”（换句话说，当我们花一点时间来承认我们的压力时，它会让我们从一个恐惧、反应性的地方转移到一个我们可以深思熟虑和果断的位置。）可知，空格处应该表达的是承认压力的好处，G 选项“This step is also an opportunity to understand what’s at the heart of your personal stress or anxiety.”（这一步也是一个了解你个人压力或焦虑的核心是什么的机会。）符合上下文语境，“This step”指代上文中的“take a moment to acknowledge our stress”。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据上一句“We only stress about things that we care about.”（我们只对我们关心的事情感到压力。）可知，空格处应该表达的是与关心的事情相关的内容，C 选项“By owning our stress, we connect to the positive motivation or personal value behind our stress.”（通过拥有我们的压力，我们与压力背后的积极动机或个人价值联系起来。）符合上下文语境。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上一句“Ask yourself: Are your typical responses in alignment with the values behind your stress?”（问问自己：你典型的反应是否与你压力背后的价值观相一致？）可知，空格处应该表达的是与反应和压力相关的内容，A 选项“Think about how you might change your response to this stress to better facilitate your goals and your purpose.”（想想你可以如何改变你对这种压力的反应，以更好地促进你的目标和目的。）符合上下文语境。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据上一句“There’s so much happening right now that we can’t control.”（现在发生了太多我们无法控制的事情。）与下文“ Some psychologists argue that true transformative change can occur only during stress or crises.

Johnny would be six years old in two weeks. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “I wonder what I can do to make my brother’s birthday special.” I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint-by-number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the comer. I decided to empty my coin jar (存钱罐) and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars,” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I had saved. Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents’ bedroom where my dad kept loose change (零钱) on top of the dresser (梳妆台). I stood on my tiptoes and saw some coins. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once,” I thought. However, I was soon overcome by guilt (负罪感). Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all. However, I still put all the change I found into my own pocket. I slid out of my parents’ room and headed toward the door. “Where are you going, Arwen? ” Mom asked, “Oh, just up to the corner store,” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long, Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom” I ran out of our house. Once I got to the store, I took the paint-by-number kit from the shelf. “Can I help you, young lady?” the saleswoman asked. “No. I'm just looking, thank you,” I said. “That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and as you can see, that's the last one.” she said. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I nodded my head in agreement, thinking hard. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I nodded my head in agreement, thinking hard. Finally, I decided to place the paint-by-number kit back on the shelf and headed home. Luckily, when I got home, Mom was busy talking on the phone and Dad wasn't back home yet, so I was able to slip past the kitchen without being noticed. I went to my parents' room to return the coins I had taken. I arranged them into a neat stack — just like they were before — and sighed with relief, knowing I had done the right thing. Paragraph 2: I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. The saleswoman had even agreed that she would keep the paint kit behind the counter for me until I had enough money to pay for it. I figured I could earn it by doing odd jobs around the house. Then I managed to earn the money I needed and bought the kit just one day before Johnny’s birthday. When opening the gift box at his birthday party, Johnny was wild with joy. “Thank you so much, Arwen.” Johnny said, “This kit is so special!” I smiled with content. 【解析】 【分析】本文以为弟弟买生日礼物为线索展开，讲述了作者在弟弟生日来临之前想为他送一件特殊的礼物――the paint-by-number kit (数字涂色小套装)，但是自己攒的零钱不够，就去父母房间里私自拿了一些。由于负罪感，她最终将拿的钱放回原处。通过自己劳动攒够钱给弟弟买来礼物的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我点头同意，同时陷入思考。”可知，第一段可描写作者在犹豫到底买不买礼物和把钱还回去。 ②由第二段首句内容“我将不得不等直到我自己攒够买礼物所需要的钱。”可知，第二段可描写作者通过自己努力攒够钱，最后买来礼物。 2.续写线索：生日之前——想买礼物——钱不够——私自拿钱——还钱——攒够钱——买礼物 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide to do sth. / make up one's mind to do sth. ②回家：head home / go back home/return home ③放回：arrange sth. into... /put sth. into... 情绪类 ①兴奋： be wild with joy / be very excited ②满意地微笑： smile with content / smile with satisfaction 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Then I managed to earn the money I needed and bought the kit just one day before Johnny’s birthday.
