B Friday night, I was struggling to choose a good movie to watch. I spent 20 minutes looking through hundreds of choices at Amazon Video and still couldn’t decide. In the back of my mind, I was thinking that I had to choose a great movie to watch, because if didn’t I would be wasting my time. I thought that instead of watching a bad movie, I would be better off using my time in a more meaningful way (I see this as an opportunity cost). After seeing the reviews and asking around for suggestions, ended up watching LaLa Land, a popular movie that most of my friends have seen recently. The next day, I went to Duane Reade to buy toothpaste and was overwhelmed again by the large quantity of the choice. I started wondering if more choices empower consumers or just make them think they are empowered, when in reality they are just at a loss. From finding a good restaurant to searching for your life partner, everything is all about choices; big or small, they are all related. Take dating life in New York for example. There are an endless range of choices which can lead to many New Yorkers finding it hard to make a decision. It is a big city with a lot of lonely “I could do better” people that are constantly searching for the next best one. It doesn’t contradict with providing people choices and information to empower them, as there is difference between having a reasonable number of choices and an overwhelming amount. When we are overwhelmed with the number of choices we have, we end up less satisfied with the choice we make. You might calculate the opportunity cost and think about “what if”. I’ve started to realize that living a life with simplicity can sometimes be a challenge, but it is certainly worth it. 4. Why did the writer find it hard to choose a movie to watch? A. He thought watching a bad movie wasn’t meaningful. B. He didn’t know which movies were popular among his friends. C. He found it challenging to choose from so many choices D. He believed it a waste of time to look through hundreds of choices. 5. What can be inferred from the text? A. Living a simple life is always challenging. B. More choices may lead to dissatisfaction with our decision. C. New Yorkers tend to be discontented their dating partner. D. Opportunity cost is what we should consider when making a decision. 6. What’s the author’s attitude towards the endless choices presented to him? A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Unconcerned. D. Negative 7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Less is Better B. Make Your Choice Goad C. More Choices, More Opportunities D. Simple is Better, Less is More C Comfort food makes a person feel good. Food high in sugar or fat tends to improve moods by stimulating the brain’s reward system. So it makes sense that many of us may turn to food for comfort in times of stress. There’s some fascinating research that examines food as a source of comfort. However, the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less comforting than we tend to believe they are. Traci Mann, a professor of psychology, and colleagues conducted a series of study with college students. The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve moods. They provided students with one of the three foods that they had indicated were their top, personal comfort foods. After producing a negative mood by having them watch movie clips designed to increase their sadness, anger and anxiety, the researchers offered the students their comfort food. They had to assess (评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better. All of the students completed the study on two separate occasions: once when they were able to eat their comfort food and once when they were able to eat another food they liked, but they wouldn’t call it a comfort food. The researchers found that comfort food did improve students’ moods — but only by a little bit and not more than the other food they liked. In another study, comfort food was compared to no food at all, and students’ moods seemed to improve even when they didn’t eat anything — most likely just due to the passage of time. The take-home message from the studies? While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being, it does little to address emotional problems. Of course, everyone can indulge (纵情) in a comfort food from time to time, but overall, aim for these instances to be the exception rather than the rule. 8. Which aspect of comfort food do Traci Mann’s studies focus on? A. The means by which it affects moods. B. Its role in reducing negativity. C. The extent to which it lifts moods. D. Its impact on physical health. 9. How were the studies carried out? A. By comparing students’ feelings on different occasions. B. By observing students’ different reactions to foods. C By analyzing questionnaires about comfort foods. D. By collecting data about people from all walks of life. 10. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To explain a rule. B. To introduce a concept. C. To present a fact. D. To make a suggestion. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Feeling Negative? Try Comfort Food B. Comfort Food May Not Work Wonders C. The Science Behind Comfort Food D. Comfort Food Tends to Be Unhealthy D Bees have evolved to be skillful flying builders. Worker insects team up to finish a complex hive (蜂房) that ends up being many times their size. It is these insect building teams that inspired Mirko Kovac, a roboticist at Imperial College London, to develop a way to improve the flexibility of 3D printing. A typical 3D printer is limited by the range of its nozzle (喷嘴) and can only make objects smaller than itself. Dr Kovac’s team has removed these limits by giving the printer nozzle wings. They designed a system of flying robots that is composed of two types of drones: builders and scanners. The builders carry the 3D-printing nozzle, while the scanners are equipped with cameras that monitor the building process. The building process switches between builders and scanners, layer by layer, printing and adjusting until the structure is complete. To start, the builder hovers over its area of operation and begins to release a jet of building material as it moves skillfully along its flight path. Once the builder robot has sprayed a layer of material, the scanner robot flies over and inspects the progress. The system then calculates the next layer that the builder should make, while also correcting any errors. The researchers tested the system by building both a large cylinder (圆柱) made of foam and a small cylinder made of the cement mixture. The tasks were not simple due to the difficulty in ensuring maximum stability. Dr Kovac’s robots made it with flying colours — the cylinders were built to be within 5 mm of the width and height of the planned structures meeting British building standard. While these robots have been shown to be capable of manufacturing, Dr Kovac believes their primary use will initially be in repair. The flying robots can operate anywhere, making them ideal for fixing things in dangerous or inaccessible places. These robots could be used more quickly, cheaply, and with less risk to humans. Thinking more long term, Dr Kovac even sees a potential future for his construction robots building on the surfaces of the Moon or Mars. 12. What is the design of Dr Kovac’s team based on? A. Bees building hives while flying. B. Bees flying in a flexible way. C. Bees growing bigger than the hive. D. Bees working together as a team. 13. What is the function of the builders in the building process? A. Correcting any errors. B. Spraying construction material. C. Carrying the scanning camera. D. Monitoring the building process. 14. What does “made it with flying colours” underlined in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Lost balance in the sky. B. Passed the test excellently. C. Stopped the work halfway. D. Made the cylinders colourful. 15. What might the flying robots first be used to do according to Dr Kovac? A. Manufacture products. B. Construct buildings. C. Repair damage in risky places. D. Monitor air pollution in the sky. 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。 Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.____16____Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do. ____17____People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.____18____For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.____19____ In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem.____20____ Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health. A. It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either. B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect. C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations. D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind. E. As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well. F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking. G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had never been away from home, at least not for more than three days, much less two whole weeks.

In our childhood, how often did we turn a deaf ear to our parents’ advice? Very often! Thus, we landed ourselves in a situation where we greatly regretted our act of not having listened to the advice of the wise. Such an unforgettable experience I had at the age of 7 gave me an invaluable lesson, after which I deeply understood why my gentle mother was repeating the boring suggestions and I would try to take her suggestions seriously. In my childhood, I was so crazy about nature that even playing among the colorful flowers in our garden could make my day. Our house was next to the woods which had always stirred up(激起) great curiosity in me in wanting to find out what was within. Every time I saw fascinating butterflies dancing from the woods, my curiosity grew. But my mother didn’t like me wandering off on my own and always ensured that I was within her sight. Even if she allowed me to explore the surrounding area on my own, it was only to be somewhere near the house. Being as curious as the cat, I always desired to explore the woods. It seemed as if my mother had understood my desire, so she had warmed me on lots of occasions never to enter the woods alone. “Mom, can I go out and play in the garden?” I asked. “Sure,” she would reply each time. “Kate, you can play in the garden but you must promise me one thing—only when I’m with you can you go into the woods. There are no cases of animal attacks on humans, but it’s still dangerous for a little kid like you. It’s too easy to get lost in the woods.” “Sure, you’ve said that many times!” I answered without patience at her repeated reminders. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 CABAA 6—10 CABCC 11—15 BACCB 16—20 CBBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三复习阶段检测卷 本试卷满分150分 考试时间120分钟 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。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

I’ve started to realize that living a life with simplicity can sometimes be a challenge, but it is certainly worth it. 4. Why did the writer find it hard to choose a movie to watch? A. He thought watching a bad movie wasn’t meaningful. B. He didn’t know which movies were popular among his friends. C. He found it challenging to choose from so many choices D. He believed it a waste of time to look through hundreds of choices. 5. What can be inferred from the text? A. Living a simple life is always challenging. B. More choices may lead to dissatisfaction with our decision. C. New Yorkers tend to be discontented their dating partner. D. Opportunity cost is what we should consider when making a decision. 6 What’s the author’s attitude towards the endless choices presented to him? A. Positive. B. Neutral. C. Unconcerned. D. Negative 7. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Less is Better B. Make Your Choice Goad C. More Choices, More Opportunities D. Simple is Better, Less is More 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文为夹叙夹议文。作者以自己挑选电影和挑选牙刷时的举棋不定为例，讲述了生活中处处面临挑战和选择，当这种选择多到无限多的时候，人们往往被大量的选择压垮而不知所措，很难做出决定。所以，在生活中，简洁就是富足，少就是多。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I spent 20 minutes looking through hundreds of choices at Amazon Video and still couldn't decide.( 我花了20分钟在亚马逊视频网站上浏览了数百个选择，还是无法做出决定)”可知，作者很难选择一部电影看，因为他发现从数百个选择中挑出一部非常有挑战性。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When we are overwhelmed with the amount of choices we have, we end up less satisfied with the choice we make. You might calculate the opportunity cost and think about ‘what if’.(当我们被大量的选择压垮时，我们最终会对我们所做的选择不太满意。你可能会计算机会成本，并会想到‘假使…会怎样呢’)”可知，更多的选择可能会导致对我们所做的选择的不满。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When we are overwhelmed with the amount of choices we have, we end up less satisfied with the choice we make. (当我们被大量的选择压垮时，我们最终会对我们所做的选择不太满意。)”和第五段“I’ve started to realize that living a life with simplicity can sometimes be a challenge, but it is certainly worth it. (我开始意识到，过简单的生活有时是一种挑战，但它确实值得)”可推知，作者赞同简单生活这一理念，对于生活中有无穷的选择是持否定态度的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者由生活中的两个艰难的选择说起，当我们面临太多的选择时，往往会不知所措，甚至有可能对我们所做的选择不太满意。所以，在生活中，简单就是富足，少就是多。D项“Simple is Better, Less is More(简单就是富足，少即是多)”适合作标题。故选D项。 C Comfort food makes a person feel good. Food high in sugar or fat tends to improve moods by stimulating the brain’s reward system. So it makes sense that many of us may turn to food for comfort in times of stress. There’s some fascinating research that examines food as a source of comfort. However, the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less comforting than we tend to believe they are. Traci Mann, a professor of psychology, and colleagues conducted a series of study with college students. The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve moods. They provided students with one of the three foods that they had indicated were their top, personal comfort foods. After producing a negative mood by having them watch movie clips designed to increase their sadness, anger and anxiety, the researchers offered the students their comfort food. They had to assess (评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better. All of the students completed the study on two separate occasions: once when they were able to eat their comfort food and once when they were able to eat another food they liked, but they wouldn’t call it a comfort food. The researchers found that comfort food did improve students’ moods — but only by a little bit and not more than the other food they liked. In another study, comfort food was compared to no food at all, and students’ moods seemed to improve even when they didn’t eat anything — most likely just due to the passage of time. The take-home message from the studies? While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being, it does little to address emotional problems. Of course, everyone can indulge (纵情) in a comfort food from time to time, but overall, aim for these instances to be the exception rather than the rule. 8. Which aspect of comfort food do Traci Mann’s studies focus on? A. The means by which it affects moods. B. Its role in reducing negativity. C. The extent to which it lifts moods. D. Its impact on physical health. 9. How were the studies carried out? A. By comparing students’ feelings on different occasions. B. By observing students’ different reactions to foods. C. By analyzing questionnaires about comfort foods. D. By collecting data about people from all walks of life. 10. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To explain a rule. B. To introduce a concept. C To present a fact. D. To make a suggestion. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Feeling Negative? Try Comfort Food B. Comfort Food May Not Work Wonders C. The Science Behind Comfort Food D. Comfort Food Tends to Be Unhealthy 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍Traci Mann教授和她的同事们关于安慰食物对改善情绪的影响的一系列研究，并给出了建议：可以对安慰食物偶尔放纵一下，但不应该依赖它来解决情绪问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Traci Mann, a professor of psychology, and colleagues conducted a series of study with college students. The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve moods.”（心理学教授特蕾西·曼恩(Traci Mann)及其同事对大学生进行了一系列研究。研究人员调查了有多少安慰食物能真正改善情绪。）可知，Traci Mann的研究集中在安慰食物提升情绪的程度方面。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“They had to assess (评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better.”（他们必须评估他们在吃了冰淇淋、披萨或任何他们认为能让他们感觉更好的东西之后的感觉。）可推知，研究是通过比较学生在不同场合的感受开展的。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中作者提到的“While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being, it does little to address emotional problems.”（虽然安慰食物可能会让人暂时感觉好一些，但它对解决情绪问题几乎没有作用）推知，作者认为不能过度依赖安慰食物来解决情绪问题。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。这篇文章介绍Traci Mann教授和始的同事们关于安慰食物对改善情绪的影响的一系列研究。研究发现，虽然安慰食物可以略微提升情绪，但它并不比人们喜欢的其他食物更有效。另一项研究表明。即使不吃任何食物，情绪也会随着时间的推移而改善。由此可知，这篇文章主要告诉读者：安慰食物不一定就能带来安慰。故文章最适合的标题是“安慰食物可能不会产生奇迹”。故选B。 D Bees have evolved to be skillful flying builders. Worker insects team up to finish a complex hive (蜂房) that ends up being many times their size. It is these insect building teams that inspired Mirko Kovac, a roboticist at Imperial College London, to develop a way to improve the flexibility of 3D printing. A typical 3D printer is limited by the range of its nozzle (喷嘴), and can only make objects smaller than itself. Dr Kovac’s team has removed these limits by giving the printer nozzle wings. They designed a system of flying robots that is composed of two types of drones: builders and scanners. The builders carry the 3D-printing nozzle, while the scanners are equipped with cameras that monitor the building process. The building process switches between builders and scanners, layer by layer, printing and adjusting until the structure is complete. To start, the builder hovers over its area of operation and begins to release a jet of building material as it moves skillfully along its flight path. Once the builder robot has sprayed a layer of material, the scanner robot flies over and inspects the progress. The system then calculates the next layer that the builder should make, while also correcting any errors. The researchers tested the system by building both a large cylinder (圆柱) made of foam and a small cylinder made of the cement mixture. The tasks were not simple due to the difficulty in ensuring maximum stability. Dr Kovac’s robots made it with flying colours — the cylinders were built to be within 5 mm of the width and height of the planned structures, meeting British building standard. While these robots have been shown to be capable of manufacturing, Dr Kovac believes their primary use will initially be in repair. The flying robots can operate anywhere, making them ideal for fixing things in dangerous or inaccessible places. These robots could be used more quickly, cheaply, and with less risk to humans. Thinking more long term, Dr Kovac even sees a potential future for his construction robots building on the surfaces of the Moon or Mars. 12. What is the design of Dr Kovac’s team based on? A. Bees building hives while flying. B. Bees flying in a flexible way. C. Bees growing bigger than the hive. D. Bees working together as a team. 13. What is the function of the builders in the building process? A. Correcting any errors. B. Spraying construction material. C. Carrying the scanning camera. D. Monitoring the building process. 14. What does “made it with flying colours” underlined in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Lost balance in the sky. B. Passed the test excellently. C. Stopped the work halfway. D. Made the cylinders colourful. 15. What might the flying robots first be used to do according to Dr Kovac? A. Manufacture products. B. Construct buildings. C. Repair damage in risky places. D. Monitor air pollution in the sky. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了受到蜜蜂飞行建筑团队的启发，Kovac博士开发了一种提高3D打印灵活性的方法，消除了以往3D打印机因喷嘴喷射范围有限，只能制造比自身小的物体的局限。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Bees have evolved to be skillful flying builders. Worker insects team up to finish a complex hive (蜂房) that ends up being many times their size. It is these insect building teams that inspired Mirko Kovac, a roboticist at Imperial College London, to develop a way to improve the flexibility of 3D printing.（蜜蜂已经进化成熟的飞行建筑师。工蜂组队完成一个最终是它们体积数倍大的复杂蜂房。正是这些昆虫建筑团队启发了伦敦帝国理工学院的机器人专家Mirko Kovac，他开发了一种提高3D打印灵活性的方法。）”可知，Kovac博士团队的设计立足于蜜蜂在飞行时建造蜂房。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To start, the builder hovers over its area of operation and begins to release a jet of building material as it moves skillfully along its flight path.（首先，建筑师在它的操作区域上空盘旋，当沿着它的飞行路径巧妙地移动时，它开始释放建筑材料的射流。）”可知，这款3D打印机中建造师的功能是喷射建筑材料。故选B项。 【14题详解】 短语猜测题。根据第四段中“Dr Kovac’s robots made it with flying colours — the cylinders were built to be within 5 mm of the width and height of the planned structures, meeting British building standard.（Kovac博士的机器人……——这些圆柱体建造得和计划结构的宽度和高度都保持误差在5毫米以内，符合英国建筑标准。）”可知，最终的成品是符合标准的，因此机器人应该是成功达到了预期的目标。由此推知，made it with flying colours意为“成功做到了”，与B项Passed the test excellently“出色地通过了测试”意思一致。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While these robots have been shown to be capable of manufacturing, Dr Kovac believes their primary use will initially be in repair. The flying robots can operate anywhere, making them ideal for fixing things in dangerous or inaccessible places.（虽然这些机器人已被证明具有制造能力，但Kovac博士认为，它们最初的主要用途将是修理。飞行机器人可以在任何地方操作，这使得它们非常适合在危险或难以接近的地方修理东西。）”可知，Kovac博士认为飞行机器人将首先用于在危险的地方修理东西。故选C项。 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。 Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily problems, trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.____16____Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do. ____17____People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.____18____For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety. Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.____19____ In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem.____20____ Thinking in a positive, self-encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health. A. It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort, either. B. Negative self-talk damages self-confidence and decreases self-respect. C. It helps one to remain clear-headed and confident in difficult situations. D. Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind. E. As thinking changes, an individual's behaviour and habits change as well. F. They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking. G. They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem, even if small. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. C 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了积极思考对人产生的各种益处，同时将积极思考者与悲观主义者相比较，分析两种人的差异。积极思维是应对困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Self-talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person, who is often unaware and uncertain of some events, phenomena, people, or even the person himself.(自我对话是一个人持续不断的想法，他常常对一些事件、现象、人，甚至是他自己都没有意识和不确定)”以及后文“Meanwhile, positive thinking can help to stop negative self-talks and start to form a positive view on an issue.(同时，积极的思考可以帮助停止消极的自我对话，开始形成对一个问题的积极的观点)”由此可知，上文对自我对话进行了定义，后文则提到了积极的思考可以有助于停止消极的自我对话，可知本句是在说明消极的自我对话对人的不良影响。后文中negative self-talks可对应到B选项中Negative self-talk。故B选项“消极的自言自语会损害自信，降低自尊”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans, lower rates of depression and anxiety, better physical and psychological health, reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships.(积极思考的人寿命更长，抑郁和焦虑率更低，身心更健康，死于心脏问题的风险更低。积极的思考也有助于一个人处理问题和困难的能力)”由此可知，后文提到了积极思考对人的益处，后文中People who think positively以及Positive thinking可对应到D选项中Positive thinking。故D选项“积极思考对身心有几个有益的影响”符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据后文“For example, researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions, such as a natural disaster, positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer against depression and anxiety.(例如，研究人员发现，当危机伴随着强烈的情绪时，比如自然灾害，积极的思考可以为抑郁和焦虑提供一种缓冲)”可知，后文举出的例子说明了积极思考可以让一个人在面临危机时，保持冷静。故C选项“它帮助一个人在困难的情况下保持头脑清醒和自信”符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Resilient people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge, a chance for improvement of any kind, or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists, on the contrary, tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.(积极思考的、有韧性的人倾向于把每一个问题都看作是一个挑战，一个改进的机会，或者一个个人成长的机会。相反，悲观主义者倾向于将问题视为额外压力的来源)可知，上文在将积极思考者与悲观主义者相比较，本句应承接上文，进一步解释说明悲观主义者在解决问题时一些性格特点。上文Pessimists可对应到G选项中They。故G选项“他们常常在试图解决问题之前就感到气馁，即使是很小的问题”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In conclusion, positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. (总之，积极思考是应对困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。当一个人拒绝注意到一个问题时，它与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系)”可知，本句承接上文进一步说明一个人拒绝注意到问题的影响，它与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系，也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适。故A选项“它也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had never been away from home, at least not for more than three days, much less two whole weeks.

In our childhood, how often did we turn a deaf ear to our parents’ advice? Very often! Thus, we landed ourselves in a situation where we greatly regretted our act of not having listened to the advice of the wise. Such an unforgettable experience I had at the age of 7 gave me an invaluable lesson, after which I deeply understood why my gentle mother was repeating the boring suggestions and I would try to take her suggestions seriously. In my childhood, I was so crazy about nature that even playing among the colorful flowers in our garden could make my day. Our house was next to the woods which had always stirred up(激起) great curiosity in me in wanting to find out what was within. Every time I saw fascinating butterflies dancing from the woods, my curiosity grew. But my mother didn’t like me wandering off on my own and always ensured that I was within her sight. Even if she allowed me to explore the surrounding area on my own, it was only to be somewhere near the house. Being as curious as the cat, I always desired to explore the woods. It seemed as if my mother had understood my desire, so she had warmed me on lots of occasions never to enter the woods alone. “Mom, can I go out and play in the garden?” I asked. “Sure,” she would reply each time. “Kate, you can play in the garden but you must promise me one thing—only when I’m with you can you go into the woods. There are no cases of animal attacks on humans, but it’s still dangerous for a little kid like you. It’s too easy to get lost in the woods.” “Sure, you’ve said that many times!” I answered without patience at her repeated reminders. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 1 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. Ignoring my mother’s reminder, I slid into the forbidden world. How fascinating! Among various colorful flowers danced butterflies. With excitement, I chased after the graceful creatures, running deeper into the woods. Suddenly they flew over trees and disappeared. What’s worse, I got lost! I rushed around, crying for help, frightened and helpless, but in vain. I repeated the useless efforts until sunset. “If only I followed Mom’s reminder!” I curled up under a tree, in bitter regret and cried again. “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. “Mom! I’m here!” Wild with joy, I rushed towards where the voice came from. Behind a tree appeared my mother. She dashed up, hugged me tight and checked whether I got hurt. “I’m so sorry! I should have appreciated your suggestion!” I burst into tears. Wiping tears from my muddy face, she repeated the reminders, which weren’t boring any more, but wise and affectionate, and were implanted in my life forever. 参考范文 2 However, curiosity got the better of me one morning. I summoned up my courage and decided to take a chance. Hardly had I entered the woods when I was totally attracted by the sight. The wandering clouds, the blooming flowers and the vigorous trees all kept me spellbound. At the sight of a beautiful butterfly, I tiptoed along the path, bent over, cupped my hands gently and danced with it down the track. Time flew and before I knew it, I was deep in the woods, unable to find the way out. With a feeling of horror totally holding me in its power, I squatted down under a tree, tears rolling down my cheeks. “Kate?” Behind the trees covered by the rays of the setting sun came my mother’s voice. Hearing my mom’s voice, I yelled in a quivering tone, rushed towards her direction and threw my arms around her. Noticing my misty eyes, she patted me on the shoulders and checked whether I got hurt. Choked with emotion, I whispered, “I am OK, Mom. I will never go into the woods without your company and permission.” Shooting me an approving look, she added, “Next time you want to come, keep me informed!” In the setting sun, we headed back and this time, I held my mom’s hand tightly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述我对家附近的小森林充满了好奇心，但是妈妈总是提醒我不能独自进入森林。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“然而，一天早上，好奇心战胜了我。”可知，本段可以写我被森林里的一切所吸引，越走越远，然后就迷路了。 ②由第二段首句内容““凯特？”在夕阳的余晖笼罩下的树林后面传来了母亲的声音。”可知，本段可以写妈妈找到我，我明白了父母建议的重要性以及其中的智慧。 2. 续写线索：我进入森林深处——我迷路——我哭泣后悔——妈妈出现——我明白道理 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①哭：cry/weep/burst into tears ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③跑：rush/dash/run 情绪类 ①迷人的：fascinating/charming/attractive/fascinating ②兴奋：excitement/stimulation ③快乐：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】She dashed up, hugged me tight and checked whether I got hurt.
