Ever wanted to make a difference and train to become a coach? With the Ollie School, you could be changing lives before you know it.
Despite the very best efforts of our education system, it is struggling to cope with fully supporting the emotional wellbeing of our children within the curriculum. Have you ever felt that you would love to help, but were powerless to act? Well, here’s your opportunity to do something positive.

B
I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk.
“You see, my parents have never let me fail,“ he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more demanding (要求高的) course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission. Even the sacrifice of staying up late to do something unrelated to school, they see as a risk to my academic work and college success.”
These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. This is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and are told not to report disciplinary infractions (违纪) to colleges. Education agents in other countries are known to falsify student transcripts (成绩单), assuming that outstanding grades are the ticket to admission.
I’ve spent enough time in high schools to know teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce (回弹) back is an essential life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon.
Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college.
4. What can you infer about students in the author’s interviews?
A. They usually try all out to display their strengths.
B. They usually express a desire to experience failure.
C. They usually take a risk so as to get admitted into college.
D. They usually complain about their parents’ control over them.
5. What can you learn from paragraph 3?
A. Students should make their college applications perfect.
B. Secondary school teachers don’t like to give students A.
C. Secondary schools tend to help cover students’ imperfections.
D. Outstanding scores will certainly ensure you a place in a college.
6. According to the author, what quality may be expected from students by college professors?
A The ability to learn outside class.
B. The ability to deal with failure.
C. The ability to be always confident.
D. The ability to learn on their own.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A Failure is the mother of success.
B. Teenagers are far from being perfect.
C. If you want to get into college, learn to fail.
D. If you want to impress interviewers, take a risk.
C
Made from sustainably cut down trees, and sat in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve, with views of splendid mountain s and glassy lakes, this brand-new hotel in Scotland is already a firm favorite among guests. Although unfortunately for humans, this grand establishment entertains the six-legged kind.
Measuring more than 7,000 cubic feet, a Scottish conservation group, Highland Titles,used cut-down Sitka spruce (西加云杉), bamboo canes, bricks, wood chips, forest bark, clay pipes, and strawberry netting to build a hotel for insects. The hotel sits in the group’s nature reserve in Duror, in the West of Scotland. Overlooking Loch Linnhe, it’s a desirable spot that most human guests would pay hundreds of dollars for the opportunity to stay there.
“This record-breaking project is about the environmental message,” says Douglas Wilson, CEO of Highland Titles. “We bought this land in 2006 when it was a poorly performing commercial forestry plantation of non-native Sitka Spruce. “Like much of the Highlands, it was unsuitably planted in the late 1980s with no thought or consideration given to biodiversity. Using these same trees for something that puts nature first symbolizes that the world has changed, and we hope our efforts will inspire others.”
The decline of insects in Scotland parallels what’s happening across the world — a trend of what scientists are calling the sixth mass extinction. The UK is seeing the most significant of those declines out of every country in the world. A report released in 2019 showed the extent (程度) of the damage that humans have caused to the planet: wiping out 60% of mammals (哺乳动物), birds, fish, and reptiles (爬行动物) since 1970. The report also highlighted (强调) the “terrible state” of insect biodiversity in the world. Almost half of the species are rapidly declining and a third are being threatened with extinction.
Insects are the heart of global food web s and ecosystems. They’re essential in recycling nutrients, pollinating(授粉) plants, and as food for countless vertebrate(有脊椎的) species.In Scotland’s Duror, there are high hopes that the region’s new hotel will not help promote insect visitors, but inspire other reserves and environmental organizations to build their own.
8. Which of the following are likely to become guests of the hotel mentioned in the text?
A. Ants whose nests are destroyed.
B. Hikers attracted to the beautiful views.
C. Bears that need to find a shelter.
D. Guests willing to pay hundreds of dollars.
9. Why does Highland Titles build this hotel?
A. To use the trees properly. B. To attract visitors to this land.
C. To make the land commercial. D. To protect the diversity of insects.
10. What does the underlined word “parallel” mean in paragraph 4?
A. be related to B. be in contrast to
C. be in line with D. be fed up with
11. Which of the following is not the reason why insects are important?
A. They play a key role in global food webs.
B. They inspire people to build their own hotels.
C. They are an essential medium (媒介) to pollinate plants.
D. They can absorb nutrients from the environment.
D
It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids, we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?
What is oversharing? The term has become connected with social media, but it isn’t exclusive (独有的) to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have revealed details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to specialist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does oversharing translate into social media?
Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology, says the more details people expose (使显露), the less sympathy (同情) we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we will get more negative experiences if we share them more. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.
However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become—if our posts are positive. Even back in2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off or bragging (吹嘘). It makes sense-if your life is going that well, would you really have time to share a photo with text?
So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life? They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By providing data. B. By raising a question.
C. By giving an example. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. Why does the author describe a scene in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate what oversharing is.
B. To attract readers’ attention and interest.
C. To explain the reason of oversharing.
D. To connect oversharing with social media.
14. According to Dr Hand, what may happen when people overshare online?
A. They would have no time to enjoy their real life.
B. People are likely to doubt their intention for help.
C. People show no sympathy when they are in trouble.
D. They will definitely become more socially attractive.
15. Which of the following online sharing does the author most agree with?
A. Showing off your expensive lifestyle.
B. Complaining frequently about your work.
C. Sharing photos of your breakfast every day.
D. Recording a video of how you save money.

Refresh your bedroom
Whether you would like to change the theme of your bedroom or just want to give it an updated look, you don’t need a big budget to make it happen. ___16___ Here’s how you can get started.
Clear out the mess
Before you start freshening up your space, take a look around to see what you have that you could give away to someone who could use it. Ask an adult for two bags or boxes, one for items you want to donate and one for anything that can go directly in the trash. ___17___
Think about light
One simple room update that has a big impact is turning up your lighting. One idea is to hang inexpensive LED string lights on a wall. ___18___ Moving other lighting devices from another part of the house to your room, with permission from an adult, can also add soft lighting to your space.
___19___
Another inexpensive change that can have big results is paint. Ask an adult if they’re willing to help you paint an accent wall in your room. An accent wall is a good chance to take a risk with color since it’s only one wall. You can choose to paint the wall behind your headboard or even a closet door. If you don’t want to paint, you could check out wallpaper whose colors matches your room.
Add personal touches
___20___ You can ask a parent for any spare picture frames(框架) or pick some up together at a thrift shop or craft store. Print out photos and frame them for display. You could also frame your own artwork to hang on a wall or lean it against a dresser.
A. Consider color.
B. Green your space.
C. Or you could try a lamp on a nightstand or desk.
D. Personalize your room with photos of family and friends.
E. With a few smart strategies, you can give your room a whole new feel.
F Add new colors and patterns to liven up the look and feel of your space.
G. Once your room is neat, you can see what kinds of changes you might want to make.

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。
Ella walked into the kitchen and twirled. She was wearing a new dress and felt like a famous model. Even better, it was a dress she made! Her very first piece of fashion ! “What do you think?” she asked her mother who was laying her school breakfast on the table.
“Is that the secret dress you’ve been working on?” Mom asked.
“Yes! This is it! Don’t you love it?” Ella twirled again.
“It’s very pretty, Ella. I can’t believe you designed and sewed that all by yourself!”
Ella grinned. She had so many problems making the dress, but right now it was all worth it. It was going to be a great day.
The kids at school weren’t quite as excited about her dress as she thought they would be, but she did get some nice comments from some of the girls, so she was happy about that. The day went by quickly, and before she knew it, she was outside for the last recess of the day. Soon, she’d be going home. What a perfect day, she thought to herself as she swung on the swings. Ella leaned back in the swing and looked up at the blue sky full of white wispy clouds. She smiled. This would be the first dress of many that she would make. Some day she would have her very own fashion line with all kinds of clothes.
The school bell rang and recess was over. Ella sat up straight on the swing and waited for it to stop. She thought about dragging her feet but didn’t want to get her shoes dirty.
When the swing was close to stopping, Ella jumped off. When she landed, she heard a loud rip. “Oh no!” she whispered as she moved her hand to the back of her dress. It was ripped (裂开) all the way down the back!
All the students were moving toward the door to go back inside. Ella spotted her teacher, Miss Miller, near the door. “Come on, Ella! It’s time to go in,” Miss Miller called out.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;

Ella stood still. She didn’t know what to do.

I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk.
“You see, my parents have never let me fail,“ he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more demanding (要求高的) course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission. Even the sacrifice of staying up late to do something unrelated to school, they see as a risk to my academic work and college success.”
These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. This is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and are told not to report disciplinary infractions (违纪) to colleges. Education agents in other countries are known to falsify student transcripts (成绩单), assuming that outstanding grades are the ticket to admission.
I’ve spent enough time in high schools to know teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce (回弹) back is an essential life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon.
Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college.
4. What can you infer about students in the author’s interviews?
A. They usually try all out to display their strengths.
B. They usually express a desire to experience failure.
C. They usually take a risk so as to get admitted into college.
D. They usually complain about their parents’ control over them.
5. What can you learn from paragraph 3?
A. Students should make their college applications perfect.
B. Secondary school teachers don’t like to give students A.
C. Secondary schools tend to help cover students’ imperfections.
D. Outstanding scores will certainly ensure you a place in a college.
6. According to the author, what quality may be expected from students by college professors?
A. The ability to learn outside class.
B. The ability to deal with failure.
C. The ability to be always confident.
D. The ability to learn on their own.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Teenagers are far from being perfect.
C. If you want to get into college, learn to fail.
D. If you want to impress interviewers, take a risk.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过个人的面试经历引出了一个关于教育理念的讨论,特别是关于青少年面对失败的态度以及当前教育系统如何处理学生失败的问题。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question,“ What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk. (我在Pitzer College面试每一个学生时都会问同样的问题:“你在大学里最期待什么?”最近,在纽约的一家星巴克,一个学生坐在我对面回答我:“我期待着失败的可能性。”这让我既惊讶又高兴。当然,大多数学生坐在能决定他们学术前途的人面前时,并不是这样回答这个问题的,但这个年轻人冒了一个险)”和文章第三段中的“These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. (如今,在大学申请中寻找缺陷就像大海捞针一样困难。学生们尽力隐藏他们认为消极的因素,只告诉我们他们认为会给我们留下深刻印象的事情)”可知,学生们在面试中通常会尽力展示他们的优点,隐藏他们认为负面的因素。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“These days, finding imperfections in a college application is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Students try their best to hide factors they regard as negative and only tell us things they believe we will find impressive. This is supported by a secondary school culture where teachers are under pressure to give students nothing less than an A, and are told not to report disciplinary infractions (违纪) to colleges. Education agents in other countries are known to falsify student transcripts (成绩单), assuming that outstanding grades are the ticket to admission. (如今,在大学申请中寻找缺陷就像大海捞针一样困难。学生们尽力隐藏他们认为消极的因素,只告诉我们他们认为会给我们留下深刻印象的事情。这一观点得到了中学文化的支持,在中学文化中,老师们承受着给学生不低于A的压力,并被告知不要向大学报告违纪行为。众所周知,其他国家的教育中介伪造学生成绩单,认为优秀的成绩是进入大学的入场券)”可知,第三段主要说明了当前中学文化中存在的问题,即教师受到压力给予学生高分,且不向大学报告学生的纪律违规行为,以及国外教育中介篡改学生成绩单的情况。由此推知,这反映了中学倾向于掩盖学生的不完美之处。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中的“The ability to bounce (回弹) back is an essential life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. (重新振作起来的能力是学生们必须自学的一项基本生活技能。失败的教训不能在教室里教授;他们经历和反思)”可知,作者认为处理失败的能力是一个学生需要自己学习的重要生活技能。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段中的“I was amazed and delighted recently when a student sat across from me at a Starbucks in New York City and replied,“Ilook forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk. (最近,在纽约的一家星巴克,一个学生坐在我对面回答我:“我期待着失败的可能性。”这让我既惊讶又高兴。当然,大多数学生坐在能决定他们学术前途的人面前时,并不是这样回答这个问题的,但这个年轻人冒了一个险)”和最后一段“Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college. (失败是成长、学习、克服和继续前进的过程。让我们允许年轻人失败。他们不仅会学到一些东西,甚至可能会进入大学)”可知,整篇文章通过一个学生期待在大学里体验失败的例子,引出当前教育体系下学生被过度保护,缺乏面对和处理失败的机会的问题,并强调了失败对于个人成长和学习的重要性,最终呼吁应允许年轻人经历失败。由此可知,选项C“If you want to get into college, learn to fail. (如果你想上大学,就要学会面对失败)” 最能概括文章的主旨。故选C。
C
Made from sustainably cut down trees, and sat in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve, with views of splendid mountain s and glassy lakes, this brand-new hotel in Scotland is already a firm favorite among guests. Although unfortunately for humans, this grand establishment entertains the six-legged kind.
Measuring more than 7000 cubic feet, a Scottish conservation group, Highland Titles,used cut-down Sitka spruce (西加云杉), bamboo canes, bricks, wood chips, forest bark, clay pipes, and strawberry netting to build a hotel for insects. The hotel sits in the group’s nature reserve in Duror, in the West of Scotland. Overlooking Loch Linnhe, it’s a desirable spot that most human guests would pay hundreds of dollars for the opportunity to stay there.
“This record-breaking project is about the environmental message,” says Douglas Wilson, CEO of Highland Titles. “We bought this land in 2006 when it was a poorly performing commercial forestry plantation of non-native Sitka Spruce. “Like much of the Highlands, it was unsuitably planted in the late 1980s with no thought or consideration given to biodiversity. Using these same trees for something that puts nature first symbolizes that the world has changed, and we hope our efforts will inspire others.”
The decline of insects in Scotland parallels what’s happening across the world — a trend of what scientists are calling the sixth mass extinction. The UK is seeing the most significant of those declines out of every country in the world. A report released in 2019 showed the extent (程度) of the damage that humans have caused to the planet: wiping out 60% of mammals (哺乳动物), birds, fish, and reptiles (爬行动物) since 1970. The report also highlighted (强调) the “terrible state” of insect biodiversity in the world. Almost half of the species are rapidly declining and a third are being threatened with extinction.
Insects are the heart of global food web s and ecosystems. They’re essential in recycling nutrients, pollinating(授粉) plants, and as food for countless vertebrate(有脊椎的) species.In Scotland’s Duror, there are high hopes that the region’s new hotel will not help promote insect visitors, but inspire other reserves and environmental organizations to build their own.
8. Which of the following are likely to become guests of the hotel mentioned in the text?
A. Ants whose nests are destroyed.
B. Hikers attracted to the beautiful views.
C. Bears that need to find a shelter.
D. Guests willing to pay hundreds of dollars.
9. Why does Highland Titles build this hotel?
A. To use the trees properly. B. To attract visitors to this land.
C. To make the land commercial. D. To protect the diversity of insects.
10. What does the underlined word “parallel” mean in paragraph 4?
A. be related to B. be in contrast to
C. be in line with D. be fed up with
11. Which of the following is not the reason why insects are important?
A. They play a key role in global food webs.
B. They inspire people to build their own hotels.
C. They are an essential medium (媒介) to pollinate plants.
D. They can absorb nutrients from the environment.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了苏格兰保护组织Highland Titles开设世界上最大的昆虫酒店,以保护昆虫的多样性。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Although unfortunately for humans, this grand establishment entertains the six-legged kind.(虽然对人类来说很不幸,但这个宏伟的建筑招待六条腿的动物)”可知,巢穴被破坏的蚂蚁最可能成为昆虫酒店的客人,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Although unfortunately for humans, this grand establishment entertains the six-legged kind.(虽然对人类来说很不幸,但这个宏伟的建筑招待了六条腿的动物)”和第三段中“This record-breaking project is about the environmental message(这个破纪录的项目是关于环境信息的)”以及第四段提到昆虫数量下降可知,Highland Titles建立昆虫酒店是出于环境目的,为了保护昆虫多样性,故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后“The UK is seeing the most significant of those declines out of every country in the world. A report released in 2019 showed the extent (程度) of the damage that humans have caused to the planet: wiping out 60% of mammals (哺乳动物), birds, fish, and reptiles (爬行动物) since 1970.(在世界上所有国家中,英国的下降幅度最大。2019年发布的一份报告显示了人类对地球造成的破坏程度:自1970年以来,人类消灭了60%的哺乳动物、鸟类、鱼类和爬行动物)”可知,世界上其他国家的昆虫数量也在下降,由此推知划线词所在句意为“苏格兰昆虫数量的减少与世界各地正在发生的情况相似——科学家们称之为第六次大灭绝的趋势”,parallel意为“与……一致”,故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Insects are the heart of global food web s and ecosystems. They’re essential in recycling nutrients, pollinating(授粉) plants, and as food for countless vertebrate (有脊椎的) species. In Scotland’s Duror, there are high hopes that the region’s new hotel will not help promote insect visitors, but inspire other reserves and environmental organizations to build their own.(昆虫是全球食物网和生态系统的核心。它们在循环养分、授粉植物和无数脊椎动物物种的食物中至关重要。在苏格兰的杜罗尔,人们对该地区的新酒店寄予厚望,希望它不会帮助吸引昆虫游客,而是激励其他保护区和环保组织建立自己的酒店)”可知,昆虫重要的原因在于它们在全球食物网中发挥着关键作用、鼓励人们建造自己的酒店以及是植物授粉的重要媒介,D项“它们能从环境中吸收营养”不是其原因,故选D。
D
It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids, we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?
What is oversharing? The term has become connected with social media, but it isn’t exclusive (独有的) to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have revealed details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to specialist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does oversharing translate into social media?
Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology, says the more details people expose (使显露), the less sympathy (同情) we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we will get more negative experiences if we share them more. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.
However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become—if our posts are positive. Even back in2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off or bragging (吹嘘). It makes sense-if your life is going that well, would you really have time to share a photo with text?
So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life? They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By providing data. B. By raising a question.
C. By giving an example. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. Why does the author describe a scene in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate what oversharing is.
B. To attract readers’ attention and interest.
C. To explain the reason of oversharing.
D. To connect oversharing with social media.
14. According to Dr Hand, what may happen when people overshare online?
A. They would have no time to enjoy their real life.
B. People are likely to doubt their intention for help.
C. People show no sympathy when they are in trouble.
D. They will definitely become more socially attractive.
15. Which of the following online sharing does the author most agree with?
A. Showing off your expensive lifestyle.
B. Complaining frequently about your work.
C. Sharing photos of your breakfast every day.
D. Recording a video of how you save money.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在社交媒体过度分享这种社会现象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids, we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?(分享是件好事,对吧?从小,我们就被告知要分享玩具,不要自私。我们也生活在一个鼓励讨论自己感受的时代。但什么时候这一切会变得过分呢?随着舞蹈挑战和穿枕头当裙子等新潮流的不断流行,问题是:社交媒体上的分享何时变得过度分享的?)”可知,在第一段中作者连续提出三个问题“分享是件好事,对吧?”、“但什么时候这一切会变得过分呢?”以及“社交媒体上的分享何时会变得过度分享?”,从而引出本文讨论的话题,由此可知,该段是通过提问的方式引出话题的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“What is oversharing?(什么是过度分享?)”可知,本段第一句使用提问的形式引出本段讲述的主题,结合下文中的“The term has become connected with social media, but it isn’t exclusive (独有的) to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have revealed details about their life. (这个词已经与社交媒体联系在一起,但它并不是这个平台所独有的。想象一下,你去参加一个聚会,遇到了一个人。在五分钟内,他们就透露了自己生活的细节。)”可知,接下来提到了一个与陌生人相遇五分钟内就透露自己生活细节的场景,由此可知,本段主要是为了阐述“什么过度分享”。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.(在社交媒体上博同情,即通过过度分享来寻求同情的想法,似乎通常被认为是消极的,而不是真正的求助。)”可知,在Dr Hand看来,在社交平台上过度分享来寻求同情的想法,经常被人认为不是真正的求助,由此可知,如果在网上过度分享,人们可能会怀疑这些人们寻求帮助的意图。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become—if our posts are positive.(然而,Dr Hand的研究似乎也表明,如果我们的帖子是积极的,我们在一个平台上发布的越多,我们就越有社会吸引力。)”可知,在社交媒体上发布积极地帖子,就会越有社会吸引力,结合下文中的“Even back in2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off or bragging (吹嘘). It makes sense-if your life is going that well, would you really have time to share a photo with text?(早在2015年,格温多林·塞德曼博士就说过,我们应该避免在网上抱怨和消极。我们也应该避免炫耀或吹嘘。这是有道理的——如果你的生活过得很好,你真的有时间用文字分享照片吗?)”可知,我们不应该在社交平台上抱怨和消极,也不应该炫耀或吹嘘,如果自己过得好,也不会去分享照片的时间,所以A项、B项和C项讲述的内容与原文信息不符,由此可知,作者应该会赞成录制你如何省钱的视频。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了中国近年来,由于全社会的科普努力,科学素养有了显著提高。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:上海科技馆馆长倪敏静说,在过去的12年里,中国的科学素养有了显著的提高,他认为这一进步归功于全社会的科普努力。名词efforts后应用动词不定式作后置定语,表示“普及科学的努力”。故填to popularize。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他说:“例如,全国政协推出了一个会员科学大讲堂,许多学者和知名科学家在这里带头科普。”。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为a Members’ Science Lecture Hall,表示地点,用关系副词where引导,在从句中作地点状语。故填where。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:“越来越多的顶尖科学家在中小学担任科学技术副校长。”a number of“许多”是固定短语,后接复数名词,谓语动词用复数。所连接的单词increasing发音以元音开头,句首字母大写,故填An。

考查非谓语动词。句意:倪说,全球科学教育正在向学习创新转变,创新源于多样化的思想和行动。介词toward后用动名词作宾语。故填learning。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:打篮球、参加合唱比赛和帮助做家务,都可以增强他们的心理能力,减少出现心理问题的机会,最终增加创新人才的可能性。后文动名词短语helping with household chores和前文动名词短语是并列关系。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:同上。修饰动词increase用副词。故填eventually。
【42题详解】
考查语态。句意:他说,顶尖创新人才有三个共同的品质,无论考试成绩如何,这些品质都是可以培养的,是教育的真正价值和力量。动词develop和主语时间是被动关系,用被动语态。情态动词后接动词原形,故填be developed。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:首先,他们非常独立和积极;第二,他们对某一特定领域有强烈的兴趣,并且高度专注;第三,他们特别有韧性,能够坚持下去。根据句意可知,此处表示“优良品质”应用其形容词的反义词independent “独立的,自主的”作表语。故填independent。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意:倪强调,科学教育不仅仅是高科技教育。虽然主句为一般过去时,但宾语从句中描述客观事实,用一般现在时。主语scientific education为单数,主谓一致,故填is。

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。
Ella walked into the kitchen and twirled. She was wearing a new dress and felt like a famous model. Even better, it was a dress she made! Her very first piece of fashion ! “What do you think?” she asked her mother who was laying her school breakfast on the table.
“Is that the secret dress you’ve been working on?” Mom asked.
“Yes! This is it! Don’t you love it?” Ella twirled again.
“It’s very pretty, Ella. I can’t believe you designed and sewed that all by yourself!”
Ella grinned. She had so many problems making the dress, but right now it was all worth it. It was going to be a great day.
The kids at school weren’t quite as excited about her dress as she thought they would be, but she did get some nice comments from some of the girls, so she was happy about that. The day went by quickly, and before she knew it, she was outside for the last recess of the day. Soon, she’d be going home. What a perfect day, she thought to herself as she swung on the swings. Ella leaned back in the swing and looked up at the blue sky full of white wispy clouds. She smiled. This would be the first dress of many that she would make. Some day she would have her very own fashion line with all kinds of clothes.
The school bell rang and recess was over. Ella sat up straight on the swing and waited for it to stop. She thought about dragging her feet but didn’t want to get her shoes dirty.
When the swing was close to stopping, Ella jumped off. When she landed, she heard a loud rip. “Oh no!” she whispered as she moved her hand to the back of her dress. It was ripped (裂开) all the way down the back!
All the students were moving toward the door to go back inside. Ella spotted her teacher, Miss Miller, near the door. “Come on, Ella! It’s time to go in,” Miss Miller called out.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;

Miss Miller took off her sweater and helped Ella to pull it on.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Ella stood still. She didn’t know what to do. She put her hands behind her and tried to hold her dress shut. Miss Miller called again, this time louder. Ella shook her head and said nothing, for fear of being laughed at by her classmates. With confusion and concern, Miss Miller started walking toward her. “What’s wrong, Ella? Are you hurt?” Miss Miller asked when she reached Ella. “No. I’m not hurt. It’s my dress. It ripped in the back.” Miss Miller looked at the back of Ella’s dress and knew the embarrassing situation Ella was in.
Miss Miller took off her sweater and helped Ella to pull it on. “There! My sweater is long on you. Even longer than your dress!” Miss Miller comforted Elaina gentle voice. At these words, Ella broke into a grateful smile. Then Miss Miller accompanied Ella to get back inside. Though other students shot a few curious and confused glance s at Ella, Ella didn’t feel embarrassed at all, because she was bathed in the kindness and warmth Miss Miller showered on her. The moment Ella got home, she ran right into Mom’s room to tell her what had happened. “Miss Miller saved me.” Ella said repeatedly.
