But the FDA has only approved it for use in treating epilepsy (癫痫) — a serious medical condition — in children. What is CBD, anyway? Can CBD help me lose weight? How much CBD do I need to take to help my condition? What do I look for when buying CBD? The Essential Guide to CBD will answer all of these questions and many more. Written in part by the experts at Project CBD, the book will separate fact from fiction. HOT TOPIC: CBD suddenly seems to be everywhere and is said to be able to help everything from sleeplessness to physical pain to heart problems. But misinformation is widespread, and there’s a need for an authoritative expert to cut through the confusion and describe what research has actually shown. TRUSTED AUTHOURITY: Readers trust Reader’s Digest to get the real facts and explain them in a brief and straightforward way. Here, Reader’s Digest has partnered with the editors of Project CBD, who have been tracking the research being done into CBD. PRACTICAL GUIDE: The book will not only explain what CBD can actually help with, but will tell you where to buy it legally, what to look for when you buy, and how much to take. REAL-PERSON STRORIES: The book will include first-person statements from real people who have tried CBD for different illnesses. 1. What can we learn from the HOT TOPIC part? A. CBD has limited medical use. B. CBD is applied in many fields. C. Many people are ignorant of CBD. D. Few people are cautious about CBD. 2. What is the feature of The Essential Guide to CBD? A. It enjoys high popularity worldwide. B. It includes real user experience. C. It covers the latest research on CBD. D. It’s written by experts at Project CBD. 3. Why does the author write this text? A. To introduce some knowledge of CBD. B. To explain different effects of CBD. C. To advertise a book concerning CBD. D. To clarify misinformation about CBD. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要向读者推荐了一本书——The Essential Guide to CBD，让他们对大麻二酚有科学的了解，从而消除他们对大麻二酚的误解。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据HOT TOPIC部分中的“But misinformation is widespread, and there’s a need for an authoritative expert to cut through the confusion and describe what research has actually shown.”（但错误信息广泛传播，需要一位权威专家来消除混淆，描述研究的真实结果。）可推知，很多人缺乏对大麻二酚的正确认识，他们在这方面缺乏知识，故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The book will include first-person statements from real people who have tried CBD for different illnesses.”（本书将收录那些尝试使用 CBD 治疗不同疾病的真实人物的第一人称陈述。）可知，The Essential Guide to CBD这本书提供了真实的用户体验，故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“The Essential Guide to CBD will answer all of these questions and many more. Written in part by the experts at Project CBD, the book will separate fact from fiction.”（《CBD基本指南》将解答所有这些问题，甚至更多。本书由 Project CBD 专家撰写，将事实与虚构区分开来。）可知，本文主要介绍了The Essential Guide to CBD这本书的相关内容，背景和主题等，由此可推知，作者的写着目的是介绍这本书，为这本书做广告，故选C。 B Once I told someone I wanted to get a master’s degree of fine arts in creative writing and they told me it was the second-to-worst post-graduation plan they’d ever heard from a student. Arts degrees — especially fine arts degrees, which usually come in the form of music, studio art, creative writing and theater — have been, over the years, labeled useless. It’s true that for the most part, STEM degrees lead to higher paying jobs than liberal and fine arts degrees, and it’s understandable why young people care about a higher starting salary and financial security. Student loan debt is playing a role in the physical and mental stress of young people. And while STEM majors usually have starting salaries that are $20,000 higher than those of liberal arts majors, by the time people reach the age of 40, the salaries between those who majored in the liberal arts and those who majored in STEM are virtually the same. For example, women who major in STEM earned nearly 50% more than social science and history majors at ages 23-25, but only 10% more by ages 38-40, a New York Times analysis reported. So even in terms of salary, which doesn’t solely determine whether or not a degree is useful, liberal arts degrees aren’t all that far behind STEM. It seems too that since people nowadays are going to have to work longer, it’s more important than ever that we actually like and care about what we’re doing. Pursuing something enjoyable, or else a passion, is continuously found to be a key factor in maintaining healthy relationships, mental health, physical health and energy. In other words, not useless. Art is also a method of communication. It allows people from different backgrounds, from different walks of life to communicate with each other. In a world where borders and division seem to be all over the place, we need art more than ever. We need liberal arts majors. And more than anything, we need to be able to pursue what we love with confidence, and we need to not get caught up in the “usefulness” of what we love. And just because someone’s primary job isn’t in their field of study — a writer who teaches high school for example— doesn’t make the degree useless. It just means that their way of finding a stable income is different. The same goes for artists who have to work multiple jobs to support themselves. They might have to find other means of supporting themselves and their artistry. It might be copy editing or it might be tutoring. So I am going to graduate school, and I am going to graduate school for writing. I might be paying rent by way of overnight restaurant shifts — there’s so much I’m not sure of. But one thing I am sure of is this — I would rather be a writer working two jobs to pay my bills than be no writer at all. 4. A New York Times analysis report is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to ______. A. analyse the potential value of different majors B. put forward the opinion on majors by example C. prove the argument against arts degrees wrong D. demonstrate the link between majors and incomes 5. Why does the author think learning arts is useful? A. Following one’s dream of arts keeps one in good condition. B. Doing what one loves builds up one’s self-confidence in arts. C. Mastering arts improves one’s understanding of different jobs. D. Developing a love for arts helps one maintain passion for work. 6. The author thinks that doing multiple jobs is _______. A. unavoidable B. common C. traditional D. acceptable 7. What can we infer from the passage? A. Students learning arts are more concerned about the value of life. B. People tend to place income in the first place when choosing majors. C. The man who doesn’t love his work won’t stick with the job for long. D. Graduates can find a broader space of development in the field of arts. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章中作者主要议论了艺术学位是否是无用问题，作者认为薪水并不能完全决定一个学位是否有用，学习艺术是有用的，是因为追求艺术梦想能使人保持良好状态。作者还指出仅仅因为一个人的主要工作不是在他们的研究领域——例如，一个在高中教书的作家——并不会使学位毫无用处。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中So even in terms of salary, which doesn’t solely determine whether or not a degree is useful, liberal arts degrees aren’t all that far behind STEM.可知因此，即使就薪水而言，文科学位也不比STEM差那么多。薪水并不能完全决定一个学位是否有用。由此可推知，在第三段提到了一篇《纽约时报》分析报告，是为了证明反对艺术学位的论点是错误的。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中Pursuing something enjoyable, or else a passion, is continuously found to be a key factor in maintaining healthy relationships, mental health, physical health and energy. In other words, not useless.可知人们不断发现，追求愉快的事情，或者激情，是维持健康人际关系、心理健康、身体健康和精力的关键因素。换句话说，不是没用的。由此可知，作者认为学习艺术是有用的，是因为追求艺术梦想能使人保持良好状态。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中The same goes for artists who have to work multiple jobs to support themselves. They might have to find other means of supporting themselves and their artistry. It might be copy editing or it might be tutoring.可知同样的道理也适用于那些为了养活自己而不得不做多份工作的艺术家们。他们可能不得不寻找其他的方式来养活自己和自己的艺术才华。可能是编辑稿件，也可能是辅导。由此可推知，作者认为做多份工作是可以接受的。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中It’s true that for the most part, STEM degrees lead to higher paying jobs than liberal and fine arts degrees, and it’s understandable why young people care about a higher starting salary and financial security.可知的确，在大多数情况下，STEM学位比文科和美术学位能找到薪水更高的工作，所以年轻人关心起薪更高和经济保障也是可以理解的。由此可推知，人们在选择专业时往往把收入放在第一位。故选B。 C I always told my children that they were smart all the time. Especially in the first years of their life, their rapid acquisition of skills and language felt nothing short of miraculous, even though it could not be more common. I have a particularly clear memory of watching my daughter figure out how to make a Magna-Tile house that would stand up on its own, and thinking, “You’re a tiny architectural genius. Mom is proud of you.” But some research recommends that we not tell our children they’re “smart” when they do impressive things. When I first heard it, I instinctively disagreed. But after doing in-depth research, I was persuaded. It all goes back to “growth mindset”, which holds the concept that you can change your abilities through effort and strategy. The alternative to a growth mindset is a “fixed mindset” — the idea that your abilities are inborn and can’t be changed. When we praise our children for being “smart” based on triumphs, like solving a problem or doing well on a test. we’re unconsciously encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart. And it’s not just what we say about our children’s triumphs that matters — it’s how we tolerate their setbacks. A study led by Kyla Haimovits, PhD, shows if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be derailed by mistakes. But it’s subtle. For example, Dr. Haimovitz explains, your children may be struggling with early math concepts and you may say something like “Not everyone needs to be good at numbers” as a way to comfort them. But what you’re really doing is implying that their math abilities are already set, and unchangeable. Whatever you say to your kids, it’s about getting them comfortable with failures, big and small. Here are some tips from Dr. Haimovitz. One way is to praise kids’ effort rather than their intelligence. As Dr. Haimovitz pointed out, if we praise a kid for a school project he finished in five minutes, he would know our praise is empty. Instead, we can ask him questions about how he did it, which can help us know how to praise future efforts. Also, we can talk about our mistakes. We don’t have to deny we have negative emotional reactions. But if we highlight our missteps and explain how we persevered, our children can learn to do the same. 8. What did the author tend to do in parenting? A. She tried to develop her kids’ intelligence. B. She always spared time to accompany her kids. C. She often gave encouragement and support to her kids. D. She taught her kids not to be afraid of making mistakes. 9. Why shouldn’t parents always praise children for their intelligence? A. Because it would make children unwilling to try harder. B. Because children would be impatient of hearing compliments. C. Because children would become overconfident after being praised. D. Because it would make children doubt themselves when they do wrong. 10. Which can best replace the underlined word “derailed” in paragraph 3? A. Trapped. B. Received. C. Seized. D. Alerted. 11. Which of the following does Dr. Haimovitz suggest parents do? A. Figure out a solution together with kids. B. Focus on kids’ process of completing a task. C. Get kids engaged in educational activities. D. Try to avoid expressing negative emotions. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现表扬孩子可能造成不好的结果。对于孩子的优秀表现，家长应该肯定他的努力付出得到了回报，而非夸赞他的聪明。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I always told my children that they were smart all the time. Especially in the first years of their life, their rapid acquisition of skills and language felt nothing short of miraculous, even though it could not be more common. I have a particularly clear memory of watching my daughter figure out how to make a Magna-Tile house that would stand up on its own, and thinking, “You’re a tiny architectural genius. Mom is proud of you.””（我总是告诉我的孩子们，他们很聪明。尤其是在他们生命的最初几年，他们对技能和语言的快速掌握简直是奇迹，尽管这种情况再普遍不过了。我还特别清楚地记得，看着我的女儿弄清楚如何做一个可以自己站立的大瓦房，我想，“你是一个小小的建筑天才。妈妈为你感到骄傲。”）可知，作者从不吝惜对孩子们的称赞和表扬，在育儿方面采取的是鼓励和支持的方法。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“When we praise our children for being “smart” based on triumphs, like solving a problem or doing well on a test. we’re unconsciously encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart.”（当我们基于成功而称赞孩子“聪明”时，比如解决了一个问题或在考试中取得了好成绩。我们无意识地鼓励他们相信，如果他们做得不好或犯了错误，他们就不聪明。）可知，称赞孩子“聪明”会使孩子在犯了错或做得不好时怀疑自己不够聪明，这就是父母不应该总是称赞孩子的聪明的原因。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句“A study led by Kyla Haimovits, PhD, shows if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be derailed by mistakes.”（凯拉·海莫维茨博士领导的一项研究表明，如果父母认为失败是可耻的，他们的孩子就更有可能被错误……。）并结合后文例子“For example, Dr. Haimovitz explains, your children may be struggling with early math concepts and you may say something like “Not everyone needs to be good at numbers” as a way to comfort them. But what you’re really doing is implying that their math abilities are already set, and unchangeable.”（例如，海莫维茨博士解释说，你的孩子可能对早期的数学概念感到困惑，你可能会说“不是每个人都需要擅长数字”这样的话来安慰他们。但你实际上是在暗示他们的数学能力是固定的，不可改变的。）可知，父母对待失败的错误方式会对孩子产生消极的暗示，说明如果父母认为失败是可耻的，那孩子们对待失败的态度也不会积极，会消极的看待失败，更可能会困在失败和错误之中，无法迎难而上。故推测derailed应表示“阻挠”，与trapped“受困，使受限”含义一致。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段前三句“One way is to praise kids’ effort rather than their intelligence. As Dr. Haimovitz pointed out, if we praise a kid for a school project he finished in five minutes, he would know our praise is empty. Instead, we can ask him questions about how he did it, which can help us know how to praise future efforts.”（一种方法是表扬孩子的努力，而不是他们的智力。正如海莫维茨博士指出的那样，如果我们表扬一个孩子在五分钟内完成了一项学校作业，他会知道我们的表扬是空洞的。相反，我们可以问他是如何做到的，这可以帮助我们知道如何赞扬未来的努力。）可知，海莫维茨博士建议我们要表扬孩子为了完成任务付出的努力，而不是他们的智力。他认为可以通过关注孩子完成任务的过程而不是空洞地表扬任务完成的结果来肯定孩子的表现。故选B项。 D An almost limitless supply of fresh water exists in the form of tiny drops above Earth’s oceans, yet remains undeveloped, researchers said. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is the first to suggest an investment in a new structure able to harvest oceanic water vapor(蒸气)as a solution to limited supplies of fresh water in various places around the world. Previous wastewater recycling, cloud seeding and desalination(海水脱盐)techniques have met with only limited success. Though built in some areas across the globe, desalination plants face environmental problems because the salt water and wastewater they create are full of heavy metal. “Eventually, we will need to find a way to increase the supply of fresh water as conservation and recycled water from existing sources, though vital, will not be enough to meet human needs. We think our method can do that better,” civil and environmental engineering professor Praveen Kumar said. The study assessed the possibility of a hypothetical (假定的)structure that can trap water vapor from above the ocean and transform it into fresh water. The researchers performed atmospheric and economic analyses of the placement of hypothetical offshore structures 210 meters in width and 100 meters in height. Through their analyses, the researchers concluded that this method is workable for many water-stressed regions worldwide. One forceful prediction of climate change is that dry regions will get drier, and wet areas will get wetter. The current regions experiencing water shortage will likely be even drier in the future, worsening the problem. However, the climate prediction shows that the oceanic vapor flow will increase over time, providing even more fresh water supplies. So, the idea will be workable under climate change. This provides a much needed and effective approach to adaptation to climate change. The fact that this suggested solution works like the natural water cycle is one of its elegant aspects. “The difference is that we can guide where the water vapor from the ocean goes,” professor Francina Dominguez said. 12. Where is the new technology designed to get fresh water from? A. The wastewater. B. The rainfall. C. The ocean. D. The air. 13. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. Adding background information. B. Stating effects of traditional methods. C. Introducing ways to get fresh water. D. Leading in a new topic for discussion. 14. How do the researchers get their findings? A. By analyzing an assumption. B. By studying causes and effects. C. By conducting laboratory tests. D. By referring to previous research. 15. Which can be a suitable title of the text? A. The Ocean: A Potential Source of Fresh Water B. Wastewater Recycling: A Method No Longer Practical C. Climate Change: A Continuous Threat to the Whole World D. Ocean Vapor Trapping Structure: A Solution to Water Shortage 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了海洋上空的水蒸气中存在着几乎无限的淡水供应，但仍未被开发。一项新研究建议收集海洋水蒸气，以解决世界多地淡水供应有限的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“An almost limitless supply of fresh water exists in the form of tiny drops above Earth’s oceans, yet remains undeveloped(地球海洋上方以微小水滴的形式存在着几乎无限的淡水供应，但尚未得到开发。)”和“A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is the first to suggest an investment in a new structure able to harvest oceanic water vapor(蒸气)as a solution to limited supplies of fresh water in various places around the world. (伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校(University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign)的一项新研究首次建议投资一种能够收集海洋水蒸气的新结构，以解决世界各地淡水供应有限的问题。)”可知，地球海洋上空的水蒸气中存在着几乎无限的淡水供应，但仍未被开发。一项新研究首次建设投资能够收集海洋水蒸气的新结构体。由此可知，这项新技术是被用来从海洋上方的空气中获取淡水的。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Previous wastewater recycling, cloud seeding and desalination(海水脱盐)techniques have met with only limited success. Though built in some areas across the globe, desalination plants face environmental problems because the salt water and wastewater they create are full of heavy metal.( 以前的废水回收、人工降雨和海水淡化技术只取得了有限的成功。虽然海水淡化厂建在世界各地的一些地区，但它们面临着环境问题，因为它们产生的盐水和废水充满了重金属。)”可知，以前的废水回收、云催化和海水脱盐技术只取得了有限的成功。尽管海水脱盐厂已在全球一些地区建立起来，但由于产生的盐水和废水中含有大量重金属，海水脱盐厂面临着环保问题。再结合第三段中提到的“we will need to find a way to increase the supply of fresh water...human needs(我们需要找到一种方法来增加淡水的供应，因为从现有资源中节约用水和循环水虽然至关重要，但仍不足以满足人类的需要。)”可知，第二段是对新技术的开发背景的介绍。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The study assessed the possibility of a hypothetical (假定的)structure that can trap water vapor from above the ocean and transform it into fresh water. The researchers performed atmospheric and economic analyses of the placement of hypothetical offshore structures 210 meters in width and 100 meters in height. Through their analyses, the researchers concluded that this method is workable for many water-stressed regions worldwide.( 该研究评估了一种假设结构的可能性，这种结构可以捕获海洋上方的水蒸气并将其转化为淡水。研究人员对假设的210米宽、100米高的海上结构进行了大气和经济分析。通过他们的分析，研究人员得出结论，这种方法对世界上许多缺水地区都是可行的。)”可知，研究人员是通过对一项假设进行分析得到他们的发现的。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is the first to suggest an investment in a new structure able to harvest oceanic water vapor(蒸气)as a solution to limited supplies of fresh water in various places around the world.(伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校(University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign)的一项新研究首次建议投资一种能够收集海洋水蒸气的新结构，以解决世界各地淡水供应有限的问题。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种新的海洋水蒸气捕获结构体有望将海洋上空的水蒸气转化为淡水，以解决世界多地淡水供应有限的问题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 During New Year’s Eve, some people travel to Times Square for the official count down. ___16___ For my family, we preferred to spend a quiet evening at home, dully killing the time and trying to stay awake until midnight. This didn’t change until my friend gave me a gift years ago. It was a box of 365 cards - one for each day of the year The idea was to write on the cards daily as one would write in the journal. I decided to use the cards as a “family journal” with highlight s of each day. I didn’t have high hopes that I would keep up with this for a whole year. ___17___ I kept writing and finally successfully wrote something on every card on every day of 2012. On New Year’s Eve, my husband and sons were curious about what I had been writing all year. We decided we would start with the first card and read them all aloud together. We took turns reading a whole month’s worth of cards before passing the box to the next person. ___18___ Some cards would say something simple like, “we took a family walk after dinner tonight.” Others would say something important like, “___19___” As the cards were read, we would make comments like, “That was an amazing day.” After that evening, I continued writing on cards and on New Year’s Eve, we read them together. ___20___ It’s a wonderful way for us to think about the year that has passed and look forward to the new year that begins at midnight. Besides, it brings us fun, preventing us dully spending New Year’s Eve. Moreover, it gathers us together and strengthens our bond. A. This family tradition is significant to us. B. We had a terrible quarrel with each other. C. Unfortunately, I have never kept a journal. D. At midnight, we finished reading the 365 cards. E. Today, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. F. Some have exciting gatherings with family and friends. G. But for some reason, I was highly motivated to fill up those cards. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者通过一种创意的方式——使用一年365张卡片记录家庭生活的点滴，从而改变了家人新年前夕的传统庆祝方式，使得这个特殊夜晚变得更加有意义和有趣。 【16题详解】 空前“During New Year’s Eve, some people travel to Times Square for the official count down.(在新年前夕，一些人前往时代广场参加官方倒计时。)”介绍了新年前夕一些人的庆祝方式，空格处应该继续讲还有什么庆祝方式，F选项“Some have exciting gatherings with family and friends.(有些人与家人和朋友有令人兴奋的聚会。)”介绍的也是人们的庆祝方式，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 空前“I didn’t have high hopes that I would keep up with this for a whole year.(我并没有抱太大的希望去坚持一整年。)”说明作者觉得自己不能坚持写一年，空后“I kept writing and finally successfully wrote something on every card on every day of 2012.(我一直在写，最后成功地在2012年的每一天的每张卡片上都写了一些东西。)”说明作者写完了这些卡片，空格处应该说作者开始写卡片，G选项“But for some reason, I was highly motivated to fill up those cards.(但出于某种原因，我很有动力去填那些卡片。)”中的but表转折，说明作者虽然觉得自己不能坚持，但是还是去写了，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 空前“We took turns reading a whole month’s worth of cards before passing the box to the next person.(我们轮流读了整整一个月的卡片，然后把盒子递给下一个人。)”说明作者一家人读卡片上的内容，空格处应该也和读卡片有关，D选项“At midnight, we finished reading the 365 cards.(午夜时分，我们读完了这365张卡片。)”说明作者一家人午夜时读完了卡片，和读卡片有关，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 【19题详解】 空前“Others would say something important like(其他的会说一些重要的东西，比如)”说明了有的卡片会说一些重要的东西，空格处应该具体举出一个重要的事情的例子，E选项“Today, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.(今天是我们结婚十周年纪念日。)”举的就是一个重要的事情的例子，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 空后“It’s a wonderful way for us to think about the year that has passed and look forward to the new year that begins at midnight. Besides, it brings us fun, preventing us dully spending New Year’s Eve. Moreover, it gathers us together and strengthens our bond.(这是一种很好的方式，让我们回顾过去的一年，期待午夜开始的新年。此外，它给我们带来了乐趣，防止我们沉闷地度过除夕。此外，它使我们团结在一起，加强了我们的纽带。)”说明的是写卡片这种方式的重要性，A选项“This family tradition is significant to us.(这个家庭传统对我们很重要。)”说明了这个家庭传统很重要，引出后文的具体的重要性，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选A。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15 小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Iarossi is a 10-year-old softball (垒球) player from Tampa, FL.

Oliver was absorbed in his book in his bedroom when the suddenly heard Grandma Anges’s voice. “Oliver, dinner’s ready,” she said. “I haven’t finished reading my book!” Oliver opened the next page of his book in the light of the candle on his bedside table. He didn’t want to stop reading there. But he closed the book anyway and went downstairs for dinner. Oliver was a bookworm. He read books whenever he could. His family was small, and so was the cottage where he lived. Grandma Agnes and his little sister, Eve, made Oliver’s family. His parents passed away. That night, after everyone finished dinner, Oliver helped Agnes clean the table. Then, he returned to his book and dozed off while reading. The next day, on the bus, Oliver was reading his book again when he heard a noise and looked up. He saw an old woman who said she had forgotten to take money. However, the driver asked her to get down. “I have to see my daughter. She’s in the hospital!” “I’ll pay her fare, sir!” Oliver said. Oliver helped the old woman into the seat next to him and paid her fare. “Thank you very much, child,” she said. “You have a little kid’s sweet voice!” “I’m a big boy! I’m not a kid!” Oliver said proudly. “And my name is Oliver. What happened to your daughter?” “I’m Mary,” she introduced herself. “My daughter had an accident yesterday. Thank you for helping me today, Oliver.” “Not a problem, Mary,” Oliver said, though it was a problem for him. The money he spent on the old lady was originally saved to buy the next book in the series he was reading. But he couldn’t see Mary get into trouble. When he told her he loved books and how eager he was to get more books, she listened with the same patience as Agnes. Paragraph 1: That night, instead of talking about his books, Oliver spoke about Mary. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next afternoon, hardly had Oliver reached home after school when he heard a knock at the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】That night, instead of talking about his books, Oliver spoke about Mary. Hearing what Oliver had done for the woman, Agnes spoke highly of him and said she was so proud to have such a kind-hearted grandson. She also said she felt sorry for not being able to buy more books for Oliver. Oliver told his grandma that her love for him mattered more. Agnes promised she would try to get more books for Oliver, but as for Oliver, he exactly knew this was just a promise in terms of her financial conditions at present. The next afternoon, hardly had Oliver reached home after school when he heard a knock at the door. Opening the door, he saw a tall man standing on the doorstep. After confirming he was Oliver, the man went to his car and returned with a box full of books! Oliver was confused about the stranger’s behavior. Then, the man explained that Mary was his mother, from whom he learnt about Oliver’s story. He asked around the bus stop close to his house and got his address. So he was here with these books! Olive was quite grateful and determined to continue to pass on the kindness to others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了奥利弗很爱读书，但是因家庭条件有限他没有钱买很多书。一次他带着钱要去买书，在坐公交的时候帮助了一位忘记带钱的老人玛丽支付了公交费用，玛丽得知奥利弗很喜欢书，并渴望得到更多书后，玛丽让自己的儿子给奥利弗送来很多书，奥利弗非常感激，并决心继续将这份善意传递给他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，奥利弗没有谈论他的书，而是谈论了玛丽。”可知，第一段可描写奥利弗和祖母谈论起了自己帮助玛丽的事，祖母为奥利弗感到骄傲并为自己因没有钱给奥利弗买书而感到遗憾，奥利弗安慰祖母。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天下午，奥利弗放学刚到家，就听到了敲门声。”可知，第二段可描写奥利弗收到玛丽给他送来的书，奥利弗非常感激，并决心继续将这份善意传递给他人。 2.续写线索：奥利弗和祖母谈论起了自己帮助玛丽的事——祖母为奥利弗感到骄傲——祖母为自己因没有钱给奥利弗买书而感到遗憾——奥利弗安慰祖母——奥利弗收到玛丽给他送来的书——奥利弗决心继续将这份善意传递给他人 3.词汇激活行为类 ①买：buy/purchase ②重要：matter/counter ③确认：confirm/identify 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/perplexed ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】高分句型1] Hearing what Oliver had done for the woman, Agnes spoke highly of him and said she was so proud to have such a kind-hearted grandson.（现在分词Hearing作状语和what引导的宾语从句以及省略引导词that的宾语从句作said的宾语） [高分句型2] Oliver told his grandma that her love for him mattered more. （由that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3]Then, the man explained that Mary was his mother, from whom he learnt about Oliver’s story.（that引导的宾语从句和“介词+关系代词”from whom引导的非限定性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023年春季期湘桂黔高二年级名校大联考 英语 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、学校、班级、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．选择题的作答：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，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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1个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Once I told someone I wanted to get a master’s degree of fine arts in creative writing and they told me it was the second-to-worst post-graduation plan they’d ever heard from a student. Arts degrees — especially fine arts degrees, which usually come in the form of music, studio art, creative writing and theater — have been, over the years, labeled useless. It’s true that for the most part, STEM degrees lead to higher paying jobs than liberal and fine arts degrees, and it’s understandable why young people care about a higher starting salary and financial security. Student loan debt is playing a role in the physical and mental stress of young people. And while STEM majors usually have starting salaries that are $20,000 higher than those of liberal arts majors, by the time people reach the age of 40, the salaries between those who majored in the liberal arts and those who majored in STEM are virtually the same. For example, women who major in STEM earned nearly 50% more than social science and history majors at ages 23-25, but only 10% more by ages 38-40, a New York Times analysis reported. So even in terms of salary, which doesn’t solely determine whether or not a degree is useful, liberal arts degrees aren’t all that far behind STEM. It seems too that since people nowadays are going to have to work longer, it’s more important than ever that we actually like and care about what we’re doing. Pursuing something enjoyable, or else a passion, is continuously found to be a key factor in maintaining healthy relationships, mental health, physical health and energy. In other words, not useless. Art is also a method of communication. It allows people from different backgrounds, from different walks of life to communicate with each other. In a world where borders and division seem to be all over the place, we need art more than ever. We need liberal arts majors. And more than anything, we need to be able to pursue what we love with confidence, and we need to not get caught up in the “usefulness” of what we love. And just because someone’s primary job isn’t in their field of study — a writer who teaches high school for example— doesn’t make the degree useless. It just means that their way of finding a stable income is different. The same goes for artists who have to work multiple jobs to support themselves. They might have to find other means of supporting themselves and their artistry. It might be copy editing or it might be tutoring. So I am going to graduate school, and I am going to graduate school for writing. I might be paying rent by way of overnight restaurant shifts — there’s so much I’m not sure of. But one thing I am sure of is this — I would rather be a writer working two jobs to pay my bills than be no writer at all. 4. A New York Times analysis report is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to ______. A. analyse the potential value of different majors B. put forward the opinion on majors by example C. prove the argument against arts degrees wrong D. demonstrate the link between majors and incomes 5. Why does the author think learning arts is useful? A. Following one’s dream of arts keeps one in good condition. B. Doing what one loves builds up one’s self-confidence in arts. C. Mastering arts improves one’s understanding of different jobs. D. Developing a love for arts helps one maintain passion for work. 6. The author thinks that doing multiple jobs is _______. A. unavoidable B. common C. traditional D. acceptable 7 What can we infer from the passage? A. Students learning arts are more concerned about the value of life. B. People tend to place income in the first place when choosing majors. C. The man who doesn’t love his work won’t stick with the job for long. D Graduates can find a broader space of development in the field of arts. C I always told my children that they were smart all the time. Especially in the first years of their life, their rapid acquisition of skills and language felt nothing short of miraculous, even though it could not be more common. I have a particularly clear memory of watching my daughter figure out how to make a Magna-Tile house that would stand up on its own, and thinking, “You’re a tiny architectural genius. Mom is proud of you.” But some research recommends that we not tell our children they’re “smart” when they do impressive things. When I first heard it, I instinctively disagreed. But after doing in-depth research, I was persuaded. It all goes back to “growth mindset”, which holds the concept that you can change your abilities through effort and strategy. The alternative to a growth mindset is a “fixed mindset” — the idea that your abilities are inborn and can’t be changed. When we praise our children for being “smart” based on triumphs, like solving a problem or doing well on a test. we’re unconsciously encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart. And it’s not just what we say about our children’s triumphs that matters — it’s how we tolerate their setbacks. A study led by Kyla Haimovits, PhD, shows if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be derailed by mistakes. But it’s subtle. For example, Dr. Haimovitz explains, your children may be struggling with early math concepts and you may say something like “Not everyone needs to be good at numbers” as a way to comfort them. But what you’re really doing is implying that their math abilities are already set, and unchangeable. Whatever you say to your kids, it’s about getting them comfortable with failures, big and small. Here are some tips from Dr. Haimovitz. One way is to praise kids’ effort rather than their intelligence. As Dr. Haimovitz pointed out, if we praise a kid for a school project he finished in five minutes, he would know our praise is empty. Instead, we can ask him questions about how he did it, which can help us know how to praise future efforts. Also, we can talk about our mistakes. We don’t have to deny we have negative emotional reactions. But if we highlight our missteps and explain how we persevered, our children can learn to do the same. 8. What did the author tend to do in parenting? A. She tried to develop her kids’ intelligence. B. She always spared time to accompany her kids. C. She often gave encouragement and support to her kids. D. She taught her kids not to be afraid of making mistakes. 9. Why shouldn’t parents always praise children for their intelligence? A. Because it would make children unwilling to try harder. B. Because children would be impatient of hearing compliments. C. Because children would become overconfident after being praised. D. Because it would make children doubt themselves when they do wrong. 10. Which can best replace the underlined word “derailed” in paragraph 3? A. Trapped. B. Received. C. Seized. D. Alerted. 11. Which of the following does Dr. Haimovitz suggest parents do? A. Figure out a solution together with kids. B. Focus on kids’ process of completing a task. C. Get kids engaged in educational activities. D. Try to avoid expressing negative emotions. D An almost limitless supply of fresh water exists in the form of tiny drops above Earth’s oceans, yet remains undeveloped, researchers said. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is the first to suggest an investment in a new structure able to harvest oceanic water vapor(蒸气)as a solution to limited supplies of fresh water in various places around the world. Previous wastewater recycling, cloud seeding and desalination(海水脱盐)techniques have met with only limited success. Though built in some areas across the globe, desalination plants face environmental problems because the salt water and wastewater they create are full of heavy metal. “Eventually, we will need to find a way to increase the supply of fresh water as conservation and recycled water from existing sources, though vital, will not be enough to meet human needs. We think our method can do that better,” civil and environmental engineering professor Praveen Kumar said. The study assessed the possibility of a hypothetical (假定的)structure that can trap water vapor from above the ocean and transform it into fresh water. The researchers performed atmospheric and economic analyses of the placement of hypothetical offshore structures 210 meters in width and 100 meters in height. Through their analyses, the researchers concluded that this method is workable for many water-stressed regions worldwide. One forceful prediction of climate change is that dry regions will get drier, and wet areas will get wetter. The current regions experiencing water shortage will likely be even drier in the future, worsening the problem. However, the climate prediction shows that the oceanic vapor flow will increase over time, providing even more fresh water supplies. So, the idea will be workable under climate change. This provides a much needed and effective approach to adaptation to climate change. The fact that this suggested solution works like the natural water cycle is one of its elegant aspects. “The difference is that we can guide where the water vapor from the ocean goes,” professor Francina Dominguez said. 12. Where is the new technology designed to get fresh water from? A. The wastewater. B. The rainfall. C. The ocean. D. The air. 13. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. Adding background information. B. Stating effects of traditional methods. C. Introducing ways to get fresh water. D. Leading in a new topic for discussion. 14. How do the researchers get their findings? A. By analyzing an assumption. B. By studying causes and effects. C. By conducting laboratory tests. D. By referring to previous research. 15. Which can be a suitable title of the text? A The Ocean: A Potential Source of Fresh Water B. Wastewater Recycling: A Method No Longer Practical C. Climate Change: A Continuous Threat to the Whole World D. Ocean Vapor Trapping Structure: A Solution to Water Shortage 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 During New Year’s Eve, some people travel to Times Square for the official count down. ___16___ For my family, we preferred to spend a quiet evening at home, dully killing the time and trying to stay awake until midnight.

Oliver was absorbed in his book in his bedroom when the suddenly heard Grandma Anges’s voice. “Oliver, dinner’s ready,” she said. “I haven’t finished reading my book!” Oliver opened the next page of his book in the light of the candle on his bedside table. He didn’t want to stop reading there. But he closed the book anyway and went downstairs for dinner. Oliver was a bookworm. He read books whenever he could. His family was small, and so was the cottage where he lived. Grandma Agnes and his little sister, Eve, made Oliver’s family. His parents passed away. That night, after everyone finished dinner, Oliver helped Agnes clean the table. Then, he returned to his book and dozed off while reading. The next day, on the bus, Oliver was reading his book again when he heard a noise and looked up. He saw an old woman who said she had forgotten to take money. However, the driver asked her to get down. “I have to see my daughter. She’s in the hospital!” “I’ll pay her fare, sir!” Oliver said. Oliver helped the old woman into the seat next to him and paid her fare. “Thank you very much, child,” she said. “You have a little kid’s sweet voice!” “I’m a big boy! I’m not a kid!” Oliver said proudly. “And my name is Oliver. What happened to your daughter?” “I’m Mary,” she introduced herself. “My daughter had an accident yesterday. Thank you for helping me today, Oliver.” “Not a problem, Mary,” Oliver said, though it was a problem for him. The money he spent on the old lady was originally saved to buy the next book in the series he was reading. But he couldn’t see Mary get into trouble. When he told her he loved books and how eager he was to get more books, she listened with the same patience as Agnes. Paragraph 1: That night, instead of talking about his books, Oliver spoke about Mary. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next afternoon, hardly had Oliver reached home after school when he heard a knock at the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
