(时间：100分钟　满分：120分) 第一部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Here's a list of 4 books that I think are not only helpful but important for today's teenagers.These books contain powerful stories and practical concepts for critical thinking. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou Eventually, every teen will have to come to terms with suffering and loneliness.This book shows how to approach even the most challenging trials of life.Angelou's memoir of her childhood is heartbreaking, but the strength of her spirit and her optimism and hope help readers make sense of life.Maya shows us that it's possible to develop something inside that can shine brightly, even in the darkest night. The War of Art by Steven Pressfield This book highlights a very uncomfortable truth about life: if you want to create something, you will face many roadblocks.Whether it's naysayers (唱反调者), self­doubt, or laziness, there are lots of things that will keep us from doing what we long to do.Pressfield helps us easily and clearly identify the enemy of creativity, and outlines a battle plan to defeat this enemy within. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee This is very nearly the perfect book for teenagers and a classic American novel.The story is told with such goodness (and warmth and humor) that it's nearly universally loved.It is so powerfully written that it can actually achieve something unbelievable in its readers: it can build empathy (共情) for the “other”．And if there's one thing teens need in today's world, it's more empathy. Essentialism by Greg Mckeown Do you ever feel busy but not productive？Essentialism shows you how to achieve the pursuit of less.The pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy, and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter.

Although the illness weakened him, Carter wasn't pessimistic about life.Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT. “I interviewed him on Austin's homeless problems.After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends.I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him，” said Chandler.“He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree.Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.” With the help of Chandler, who worked in the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser.“It's the greatest gift I've ever received，” Carter said.“He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him.” After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees without telling Chandler his name. Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier.We welcome him back as we do to many students each year whose education could not be completed easily.We're going to help him through his remaining course work.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个因病中断了得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校学业的男子受到学校的学生及校方的关注和帮助，最终重返校园继续学业。 4．Why did Carter stop studying in the university?

If humans had green skin, what if it granted us the ability to perform photosynthesis(光合作用), which plants use to live off sunlight? Let's analyze what science says about it and ask award­winning science­fiction author John Scalzi what he thinks. Plants can live off photosynthesis because they grow broad, flat leaves to absorb as much light as possible.They also need less energy because they are far less active than animals. According to Lindsay Turnbull, a plant ecologist at the University of Oxford, if the skin of a woman were photosynthetic like a leaf, the amount of surface area she had would satisfy only 1% of her daily energy requirements to survive.For a photosynthesizing woman to meet her energy demands, she would need a lot more skin—about the size of a tennis court, Turnbull estimated. In addition, photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide.Plants have pores(气孔) that they use to supply the gas to their cells.If photosynthetic humans had chloroplasts(叶绿体)，they might need porous skin to let in carbon dioxide, but such pores might let other things leak in or out—for instance, moisture(水分)—in ways that might prove harmful to the human body. One might wonder if photosynthetic people might prefer moving to sunny climates.Although such people might receive a small increase from photosynthesis if they moved to a desert area, they would likely have other resource issues to deal with, such as a lack of water, Scalzi said.“ There's always going to be trade­offs，” he noted. And would photosynthetic humans prefer little or no clothing, to absorb all those rays? In some photosynthetic societies, clothing might become a symbol of the elite—a sign that they get enough energy from food and do not need photosynthesis.You can imagine them saying, “I'm rich, so I can cover up，” Scalzi said. So, would Scalzi want photosynthetic skin for himself? “ Probably not，” he said.“ It wouldn't hurt, but I don't see the benefit from it being so great that I would completely change the way I'd look to benefit from it.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章分别从一个牛津大学植物生态学家和一个科幻小说作家的视角分析了人类拥有能进行光合作用的绿色皮肤的可能性及其带来的影响。 8．Why can't humans live off photosynthesis according to Lindsay Turnbull? A．Humans wear clothes. B．Humans are less active. C．Humans don't have green skin. D．Humans' skin area is not large enough. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，Lindsay Turnbull 估计，对于一个进行光合作用的女性来说，要满足她的能量需求，她需要面积大约是一个网球场那么大的皮肤，由此可知人类不能依靠光合作用生存是因为我们的皮肤面积不够大。故D项正确。 答案　D 9．If photosynthetic humans had pores, what would be the disadvantage? A．They would be too small for human beings. B．They would release some useful substances. C．They would absorb too much carbon dioxide. D．They would keep gases from entering the human body. 解析　细节理解题。由第五段最后一句可知，这样的气孔可能会让其他物质流进或流出，比如水分，这可能对人体有害。故这些气孔的缺点是会释放一些有用的物质。故 B 项正确。 答案　B 10．Why did Scalzi say no to photosynthetic skin for himself? A．He was too old­fashioned to accept that. B．He wouldn't like to move to sunny climates. C．He believed there were more risks than benefits. D．He thought clothing was simply a symbol of the upper class. 解析　推理判断题。根据第五至第七段的描述可知，人类要进行光合作用，得有气孔，这些气孔可能会释放一些对人类有用的物质；如果人类搬到阳光充足的地方可能会缺水，得不穿或少穿衣服。再根据最后一段的最后一句可知，Scalzi并没有看到进行光合作用的巨大好处。由此可推知，Scalzi自己不想要能进行光合作用的皮肤是因为他认为这弊大于利。故C项正确。 答案　C 11．Where is the text probably from? A．A biography. B．A book review. C．A diary entry. D．A scientific paper. 解析　推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据前两段内容可知，本篇文章主要从植物生态学家和科幻小说作家的视角分析了人类拥有能进行光合作用的绿色皮肤的可能性及其带来的影响。故D项符合题意。 答案　D D I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness.Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment.But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and lost.Eventually，I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy. And what's the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists describe happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment.Meaning, though, is deeper.The famous psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you.Our culture is obsessed with happiness, but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path. There are four pillars of a meaningful life. The first pillar is belonging.Belonging comes from being in relationships where you're valued for who you are and where you value others as well.For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning. For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose.Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy.A doctor told me her purpose is healing sick people.Many parents tell me, “My purpose is raising my children.” The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others.Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder　， thus losing the aim of life. The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence (超然).Transcendent experiences can change you.Transcendent states are those rare moments when you're lifted above the hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality.For me, I'm a writer, and it happens through writing.Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place. The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself.Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity.It helps you understand how you became you.But we don't always realize that we're the authors of our stories and can change the way we're telling them.Your life isn't just a list of events.You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as you're constrained by the facts. That's the power of meaning.Happiness comes and goes.But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to. [语篇解读]　这是一篇议论文。文章说明了追求快乐对于生活的重要性，但作者认为更重要的是找寻生活本身的价值和意义。 12．What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A．Life might be fulfilled by landing ideal jobs. B．Life dilemma is challenging for us to get out of. C．Meaning is highly valued in our culture. D．Happiness is what most people try to achieve. 解析　细节理解题。第一段和第二段主要向我们说明了大多数的人在追求幸福。故选D。 答案　D 13．Which word is the closest to the underlined word “flounder” in paragraph 5? A．Confused. B．Distracted. C．Disappointed. D．Saddened. 解析　词义猜测题。根据第五段可知，没有值得做的事情，人们就会……，从而失去生活的目标。失去生活目标是指人们没有值得做的事时会不知所措或者迷茫，因此推断画线词flounder意为“困惑，不知所措”。故选A。 答案　A 14．Which pillar can describe an artist obsessed with her work despite repeated failures? A．Belonging. B．Purpose. C．Transcendence. D．Storytelling. 解析　细节理解题。根据第六段可知，卓越的经历可以改变你。超然的状态是那些罕见的时刻，当你从日常生活的喧嚣中解脱出来，你的自我感消失，你感到与一个更高的现实相连接。可知，超然可以描述一个屡遭失败却仍对自己的作品着迷的艺术家。故选C。 答案　C 15．What does the passage aim to tell us? A．Meaning is superior to happiness. B．Meaning is the way to success. C．Chasing meaning can make people happy. D．Meaning has deeper psychological significance. 解析　主旨大意题。根据最后一段可知幸福来了又去，但是有意义可以使你坚持下去，由此可知意义比幸福更重要。故选A。 答案　A 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，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。 Is your glass half­empty or half­full? How you answer this age­old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself, and whether you're optimistic or pessimistic. 16 ．Instead, it means that you approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way.You think the best is going to happen, not the worst. You can learn to turn negative thinking into positive thinking. 17 — you're creating a new habit, after all.Here are some ways to think and behave in a more positive and optimistic way.Identify areas to change.If you want to become more optimistic and engage in more positive thinking, first identify areas of your life that you usually consider as negative.You can start by focusing on one area to approach in a more positive way.Think of a positive thought to manage your stress instead of a negative one. 18 ．Occasionally during the day stop and evaluate what you're thinking.If you find that your thoughts are mainly negative, try to find a way to put a positive spin on them. Be open to humor.Give yourself permission to smile or laugh, especially during difficult times.Seek humor in everyday happenings. 19 ． Surround yourself with positive people.Make sure those in your life are positive, supportive people you can depend on to give helpful advice and feedback.Negative people may increase your stress level and make you doubt your ability to manage stress in healthy ways.
