But the most powerful thing is that the children will associate learning with fun. That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best: ·Science Kit You can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It’s a 20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions. It’s recommended for kids aged 6 and above, with adult company. You don’t have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with instructions for possible experiments. ·Mini Terra Kit You don’t have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids about the natural world. This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light. It includes a terrarium jar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids. ·Gravity Run This classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down. The games are designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning. With 60 challenges (beginner to expert), this award-winning game can be enjoyed by all the family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures. ·WeRo Kit This prize-winning robot toy features over 840 pieces, a WeRo Move Hub, Interactive Moto, and a Distance Sensor. You can build it into 5 completely different robots, meaning endless fun for the kids and even adults. Once they’ve built the character of their choice, they can programme it to perform countless tasks including walking and talking on its own. 1. What is the greatest strength of scientific educational toys? A. Training young scientists. B. Stimulating learning desire. C. Developing hand-eye coordination. D. Building up problem-solving habits. 2. Which toy suits kids who enjoy growing plants? A. Science kit. B. Mini Terra Kit. C. Gravity Run. D. WeRo Kit. 3. What is special about WeRo Kit? A. It has different levels. B. It is the only prize-winner. C. It requires parental guidance. D. It involves programming skills. B Sometimes a book comes along that isn’t just “interesting” or “well done”— it’s a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul. Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket. As I’m a longtime accumulator of random knowledge, certain entries on the list—Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor is—hit me where live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds. On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant. It’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then. Obviously, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all. and it’s tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different. 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology’s advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost. 4. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review and recommend a good read. B. To comment on the effect of the Internet. C. To argue for the viewpoint of a new book. D To urge the readers to value what they have. 5. Which might be entries on Paul’s list? A. Maps and Eye Contact. B. E-pay and Compact Disks. C. Postcards and Homeschooling D. Bad Photos and Washing Machines. 6. What does the underlined phrase “hit me where l live” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Prove what I’m good at. B. Introduce how I grew up. C. Describe the place I live in. D. Speak out what is on my mind. 7. What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul’s book? A. Things in the past are better. B. There’re no gains without pains. C. The internet is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is constantly changing the world. C Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya. The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD． The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist (考古学家) stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar”. The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later. While the time span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says. One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register. Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins. “Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos. 8. What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization? A. Their starting time. B. Their historical origins. C. Their cultural symbols. D. Their ceremony traditions. 9. The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that ________. A. silk was a common clothing material then B. some technologies were developed much earlier C the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumed D. the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact 10. What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins? A. Damp weather. B. Positioning of ruins. C. High latitude. D. Language barriers. 11. What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph? A. Our cultural knowledge is increasing. B. The benefits of speaking a different language. C. The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico. D. The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge. D Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we’re looking for. “Thank you, but no thank you.” says Ralph King, a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs. author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote-unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can’t. Technology won’t give us a free ride. Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won’t be climate victims, we will be climate Choosers. More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives. The engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. but that then? “Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back, Grey writes.” “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice by our own will,” he says. Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself, I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I’m happy not to be in charge. 12. Why does the author mention Jason Box’s experiment in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a possible solution to climate change. B. To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate. C. To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier. D. To arouse people’s attention to the problem of global warming. 13. Which statement would Ralph King most probably agree with? A. The fight against climate change will not succeed. B. Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost. C. It’s best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior. D. Jason’s experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change. 14. What is Grey Childs’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate? A. Favorable B. Tolerant C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. But should we fix the climate? B. Is climate change a real problem? C. How can we take care of the earth? D. What if all the glaciers disappeared? 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。 How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself?

Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. ____16____ They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience.

That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. (但最重要的是，孩子们会把学习和乐趣联系在一起。这意味着他们长大后会对知识充满渴望，并拥有高度发达的学习技能)”可知，科学教育玩具的最大力量是激发学习欲望。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mini Terra Kit部分中“This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light.(这个包罗万象的工具包是一个微型花园，通过使用强大的LED灯模拟自然环境)”可知，Mini Terra Kit是一个微型花园，通过使用强大的LED灯模拟自然环境。由此可知，对种植植物感兴趣的孩子可以选择该科学教育玩具。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据WeRo Kit部分中“Once they’ve built the character of their choice, they can programme it to perform countless tasks including walking and talking on its own.(一旦他们建立了自己选择的角色，他们就可以给它编程，让它执行无数的任务，包括自己走路和说话)”可知，WeRo Kit科学教育玩具不同的地方在于可以为创建的角色编程，并且让该角色执行任务。故选D。 B Sometimes a book comes along that isn’t just “interesting” or “well done”— it’s a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul. Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and not having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket. As I’m a longtime accumulator of random knowledge, certain entries on the list—Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor is—hit me where live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds. On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant. It’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then. Obviously, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all. and it’s tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different. 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology’s advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost. 4. What is the purpose of the text? A. To review and recommend a good read. B. To comment on the effect of the Internet. C. To argue for the viewpoint of a new book. D. To urge the readers to value what they have. 5. Which might be entries on Paul’s list? A. Maps and Eye Contact. B. E-pay and Compact Disks. C. Postcards and Homeschooling D. Bad Photos and Washing Machines. 6. What does the underlined phrase “hit me where l live” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Prove what I’m good at. B. Introduce how I grew up. C. Describe the place I live in. D. Speak out what is on my mind. 7. What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul’s book? A. Things in the past are better. B. There’re no gains without pains. C. The internet is a double-edged sword. D. Technology is constantly changing the world. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍一本名叫 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet 的书。 【4题详解】 推断判断题。根据题目找主旨定位到文章第一段中“A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul(这周出版了一本类似的书。这是编辑帕梅拉·保罗所著的《我们被网络遗忘的100件事》)”可知本书由Pamela Paul 所写，名叫 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet 的书，后续的文段都在介绍此书，可知文章的目的是回顾并推荐一本好书。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and hot having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.(保罗列出了100件我们曾经做过的事情，这些事情不是被互联网改变了就是被互联网完全接管了：写信、印刷报纸、享受无聊的乐趣，以及把世界上所有的知识都装进你的口袋)”可知，地图和眼神交流被互联网改变了，会出现在他的清单上。故选A。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.(当每个人都能在几秒钟内找到答案时，记住详细的事实就不再那么令人印象深刻了)”可知作为一个长时间收集各种随机知识的人，清单上的一些内容打动了我，说出了我心中所想。故选D。 【7题详解】 推断判断题。根 据 最 后 一 段 “The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology's advancement continues apace.(情况已经发生了变化，毫无疑问，随着技术的快速发展，这种变化还会再次发生。）可知，作者得出的结论是科技不断地改变着世界。故选D。 C Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya. The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD． The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist (考古学家) stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar”. The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later. While the time span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says. One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register. Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins. “Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos. 8. What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization? A. Their starting time. B. Their historical origins. C. Their cultural symbols. D. Their ceremony traditions. 9. The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that ________. A. silk was a common clothing material then B. some technologies were developed much earlier C. the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumed D. the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact 10. What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins? A. Damp weather. B. Positioning of ruins. C. High latitude. D. Language barriers. 11. What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph? A. Our cultural knowledge is increasing. B. The benefits of speaking a different language. C. The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico. D. The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我国三星堆遗址和玛雅文明的相似之处，并告诉我们文化知识交流的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist (考古学家) stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar”.”（在蜀国遗址出土的青铜制树木遗骸类似于神圣的木棉树，它象征着玛雅文明中天、地与阴间的结合。墨西哥考古学家桑托斯强调，“这两种文化中树木的象征意义非常相似”，他说：“它们有着非常重要的相似之处。”）可知，在蜀国遗址出土的青铜制树木遗骸类似于玛雅文明中神圣的木棉树，蜀国与玛雅文明这两种文化中树木的象征意义非常相似，由此可知，蜀国与玛雅文明的相似之处在于他们有相似的文化象征。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容“The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.”（三星堆遗址的发现被认为是20世纪最伟大的考古发现之一，它也展示了青铜时代文化的一个新方面，表明古代文明已经有了被认为是在很久以后发展起来的技术。）可知，三星堆遗址的发现表明古代文明已经有了被认为是在很久以后发展起来的技术，换句话说，古代的一些技术要比我们认为的发展得更早，由此可知，三星堆遗址的发现证明了一些技术发展得更早。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段关键句“They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols.”（他们在气候相似的地区发展，并通过相关象征反映他们的世界观。）和倒数第二段内容“Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.”（中国和墨西哥考古学家之间的合作可能有利于玛雅世界的项目，那里多雨的气候和湿度对遗址的保护造成了困难。）可知，三星堆遗址和玛雅文明所处地区气候相似，多雨潮湿的气候对玛雅文明的保护造成了困难，由于气候相似，多雨潮湿的气候也对三星堆遗址的保护造成了困难，由此可知，保护这两处遗址的共同挑战是潮湿的天气。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容““Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos.”（桑托斯说：“每当我们的文化知识增加时，无论我们说的是一种语言还是另一种语言，这都表明我们仍然是姐妹文化，因此，这种知识的交流是至关重要的。”）可知，桑托斯认为知识的交流是至关重要的，由此可知，在最后一段引用桑托斯的话的重点是表明文化知识交流的重要性。故选D项。 D Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we’re looking for. “Thank you, but no thank you.” says Ralph King, a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs. author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote-unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can’t. Technology won’t give us a free ride. Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won’t be climate victims, we will be climate Choosers. More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives. The engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. but that then? “Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back, Grey writes.” “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice by our own will,” he says. Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself, I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I’m happy not to be in charge. 12. Why does the author mention Jason Box’s experiment in the first paragraph? A. To introduce a possible solution to climate change. B. To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate. C. To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier. D. To arouse people’s attention to the problem of global warming. 13. Which statement would Ralph King most probably agree with? A. The fight against climate change will not succeed. B. Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost. C. It’s best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior. D. Jason’s experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change. 14. What is Grey Childs’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate? A. Favorable B. Tolerant C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. But should we fix the climate? B. Is climate change a real problem? C. How can we take care of the earth? D. What if all the glaciers disappeared? 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲的是几位科学家对控制气候变化的论述。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Several years ago,Jason Box,a scientist from Ohio,flew 31 giant rolls of white plasticto a glacier (I) in Greenland.He and his team spread them across 10, 000 feet of ice,then left.His idea was thatthe white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun,keeping the ice cool below. (几年前,来自俄俄州的科学家贾森·博克斯将31卷巨大的白色塑料空运到了格陵兰鸟的一座冰川上。他和他的团队把它们铺在一万英尺的冰面上,然后离开。他的想法是,白色的塑料会反射太阳光,保持下面的冰凉爽。)”和第二段的“This experiment,quote-unquote,gives people false hope thatclimate change can be fixed without changing human behavior.It can't.Technology won't give us a free ride. (这个实验给了人们错误的希望,认为气候变化可以在不改变人类行为的情况下得到解决。它不能。科技不会让我们搭便车。)”可知,第一段介绍了一个名叫Jason Box的科学家做了一个试验,尝试用白色塑料覆盖冰川,以达到保护冰川的目的。从而引出后文对人类干预气候的可行性的探讨,因此作者在第一段提到Jason Box的实验，是为了描述一种具有误导性的试图解决气候问题的尝试。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote-unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can’t. Technology won’t give us a free ride.(他们花了5万美元买了一架“把塑料运到冰川”的直升机。这个实验给了人们错误的希望，认为气候变化可以在不改变人类行为的情况下得到解决。它不能。科技不会让我们搭便车。)”可知，拉尔夫·金最可能同意技术并不是最终的解决方案，更不用说其高昂的成本了。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后 一句“Something sounded wrong about stopping ice by our own will (按照我们自己的意愿阻止结冰，听起来有些不对劲。)”可知Grey Childs对人类控制气候的态度是怀疑的，故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段的“Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, then left. (几年前，来自俄亥俄州的科学家贾森·博克斯(Jason Box)将31卷巨大的白色塑料飞到了格陵兰岛的一座冰川上。他和他的团队把它们铺在一万英尺的冰面上，然后离开。)”引出控制气候变化的极端例子，之后列举不同的科学家对于控制气候的观点，最后一段“Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself, I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I’m happy not to be in charge. (我吗?我更喜欢地球自己照顾自己的时候，我想有一天我们将不得不管理这个地方，但此刻，坐在我的办公桌前，看着树木疯狂地弯曲，风咆哮着，我很高兴自己不再是负责人。)”作者提出更喜欢地球自己照料自己，也即反对人类控制气候，因此本文主要讲的是人类是否应该控制气候，因此A选项“But should we fix the climate? (但是我们应该解决气候问题吗？)”可概括本文主要内容，可作为最好的题目，故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How does it feel when you solve your problem by yourself? Things may not always go as planned, but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations. Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. ____16____ They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you’re born with, rather than through training and being confident about your ability to face challenges. A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong. They’re thinking about how to solve the problem. _____17_____ when we learn to problem solve for ourselves rather than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions. Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time. _____18_____ This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself. When you’re facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it. Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are. Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. ____19____ Finally, review what has and hasn’t worked, so you’re equipped to deal with a situation next time. And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help. ____20____ A. You also learn what you’re good at. B. Here is how you can be more resourceful. C. These may be practical things like pens and paper. D. No one is expected to solve all problems by themselves. E. Resourcefulness is a skill that’s good for you in lots of ways. F. They can be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on. G. Weigh up what’s good and bad about each one and choose the best. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了遇到棘手的问题时的应对方法，要足智多谋，随机应变。 【16题详解】 根据前句“Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. (足智多谋意味着找到聪明和创造性的方法来解决问题，利用你当时拥有的任何资源。)”和后句“They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. (它们也可以是任何有用的东西，比如信息、建议或你自己的经历。)”中的also可知，空处和下文为并列关系，也是在列举可以利用的资源可能是什么。所以选择项F“These may be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on. (这些可能是著名的座右铭，总是激励我们继续前进。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 挖空处在段首，有可能是段落的主旨句。而后面“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”主要说的是“being resourceful”带来的好处， E选项意思就是resourcefulness 能带来很多好处。故选E。 【18题详解】 该段首句说的是“being resourceful”会对你有好处，前面两句“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(...它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”具体列举了“being resourceful”带来的好处，A选项：你还能知道你所擅长的是什么，对自己更加了解，也契合下一句“This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.这能提高自尊心。这是又一个好处，A项最符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 该段在讨论遇到困难时，要专注于问题本身，并列出了具体的步骤。上一句“Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can.(接下来，想出尽可能多的方法来解决问题)”讲的是“尽可能多地想出一些解决措施”，G选项：然后衡量它们的好坏，选出最佳的一个，其中them指代上一句solutions，G项填到此处最合适。故选G。 【20题详解】 上一句“And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help.(记住，如果你有一个棘手的问题，你无法解决，然后向一个值得信任的成年人寻求帮助)”表示自己实在解决不了，你还可以求助其他人，D选项意为“没有人是被期望要独自解决所有问题的”，与上文意义一致。故填D。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分55分） 第一节（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和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。 I’d worked four months at a university when we had a going-away party for Sandy, who was moving to London.
