They provide green spaces to grow sustainable food, build community cohesion (凝聚力), make new friends, connect with the earth, and much more. So, let’s check out our list of 4 inspiring urban gardens in the US. Gotham Greens Where: New York & Chicago What: Gotham Greens first started in Brooklyn and now has four locations in New York City and Chicago. Their flagship farm in Brooklyn produces over 100,000 pounds of greens per year. But it doesn’t just produce healthy local vegetables. It is using high-tech greenhouses with solar panels to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable. Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students Where: Baltimore, Maryland What: The Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) program encourages students to get their hands dirty and plant vegetables through their after-school and summer programs. Many of these kids don’t have access to green spaces and have never had the opportunity to grow food. Revision Urban Farm Where: Boston, Massachusetts What: Revision Urban Farm in Boston works in partnership with the Revision Family Home-a shelter for 22 homeless parents and their kids. The farm provides these families within formation on healthy eating, and access to the farm’s fresh vegetables. The organization also provides job training to help families escape the cycle of poverty. Swale Where: New York What: Swale, a floating food forest located on a large boat, is an innovative project meant to inspire citizens to rethink the relationship between our cities and our food. This urban garden serves as both a living art exhibit and an educational farm Food forests are sustainable gardens that include vegetables, fruit, nut trees, bushes, herbs, and vines — each one complementing the other in a symbiotic (共生的) relationship. 1. What is special about Gotham Greens? A. It offers homeless families information on healthy eating. B. It creates a sustainable garden on a large boat. C. It provides job training for students. D. It uses high-tech greenhouses to grow healthy food. 2. Which urban garden offers first-hand farming experience? A. Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students. B. Swale. C. Revision Urban Farm. D. Gotham Greens. 3. What do these four urban gardens have in common? A. They create job opportunities for farmers. B. They are inspirational projects in New York. C. They are beneficial to communities. D They have educational and entertaining purposes. B My eleven-year-old son reads a lot, but for the past year he’s only been reading comics or graphic (图解的) novels. In my view, these are the books made up, mainly, of cartoons and speech bubbles and are lacking in full pages of text. As a PhD in classical literature, I turn my nose up at my son’s comics, considering them just picture books. My son has argued well for his cause. His claim is that comics are literature or close enough and they do contain many of the basic elements of any novel: plot, backstory, dialogue and etc. But my view is that language is unique. The complicated details of plot, emotion, and inner thought that words alone can convey are surely lost when graphics take their place. And if the pictures are already there for you, what work is left to the imagination? According to the view of some experts on parenting, we should encourage our kids to love books in all shapes and forms, without limiting the type of books they should love. I see their point, but I also worry that laziness might be playing a role here and that’s a motivation I’m less happy to enable. Comics are simply easier to read than other kinds of books; they demand less attention and my suspicion is that they become appealing for that very reason. While this is a fine way to help early or reluctant (不情愿的) readers get into better habits of reading, I’m not so sure the same is true for older kids. In an age of instant satisfaction from fragmentation (碎片化) reading, we are all losing the ability to focus on longer texts, and that’s worrisome. My son is in his academic and emotional development. I want him to be reading things that will challenge him and force him to think deeply and critically, which will help him improve. Isn’t this what reading is for? Do his comic books have such power? 4. What is the author’s attitude toward comics according to paragraph 1? A. Dismissive. B. Approving. C. Unclear. D. Objective. 5. Why does the author think graphics cannot take the place of language? A. Plot can only be expressed by language. B. All the details cannot be conveyed by graphics. C. Language can show the basic storyline more clearly. D. Graphics fail to develop children’s interest in reading. 6. What do we know about the author’s son? A. He likes reading books with full pages of text. B. He thinks comics give much space for imagination. C. He believes comics share many similarities with novels. D. He claims comics are easier to read than other kinds of books. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advise kids to get rid of reading comics. B. To show the significance of reading for children. C To share her worry about her son’s choice of reading. D. To compare the differences between comics and novels. C In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night. Unfortunately, growing light pollution has impeded people from the nightly view. New citizen-science-based research throws alarming light on the problem of “sky glow”-the diffuse illumination (漫射照明) of the night sky that is a form of light pollution. The data came from crowd-sourced observations collected from around the world as part of Globe at Night, a program developed by astronomer Connie Walker. Light pollution has harmful effects on the practice of astronomy but also on human health and wildlife, since it disturbs the cycle from sunlight to starlight that biological systems have evolved alongside. Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nighty spectacle (壮观) is evident in ancient cultures. Globe at Night has been gathering data on star visibility since 2006. Anyone can submit observations through the Globe at Night web application. Participants record which one best matches what they can see in the sky without any telescopes or other instruments. Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米). White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to sky glow as seen from the ground. “The increase in sky glow over the past decade underlines the importance of redoubling our efforts and developing new strategies to protect dark skies,” said Walker. “The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky.” 8. What does the underlined word “impeded” in the first paragraph mean? A. separated. B. disabled. C. demanded. D. protected. 9. What does the loss of visible stars lead to? A. Poorer human health. B. Fewer wildlife species. C. More delicate biological systems. D. Less nightly culture elements of the sky. 10. What does the author stress in paragraph 5? A. Crowd sourced data are invaluable B. Shorter wavelengths are hard to detect. C. Satellites play a vital role. D. White LEDs are widely used. 11. What can be inferred from Walker’s words? A. Their consistent efforts pay off. B. The dataset needs to be updated. C. The sky glow has been over-emphasized. D. More participants are expected to join in. D Having high self-control is often seen as a good thing. It’s believed to be the key to success in life. But as suggested in a theory published by Professor Thomas Lynch, it may not always be a good thing—and for some, it could be linked to certain mental health problems. According to Lynch’s theory, everyone leans (偏向) more towards one of two personality styles: under control or overcontrol. Being under controlled or overcontrolled is neither good nor bad because most of us are psychologically flexible, and can adapt to different situations. So, regardless of whether we're overcontrolled or under controlled, this flexibility helps us deal with life's challenges and setbacks in a constructive way. But when we are much less flexible, both under control and overcontrol can become problematic. Most of us are probably more familiar with highly under controlled people, who may struggle to control their emotions and their behaviors may be unpredictable. This can negatively affect their relationships, education, work, and health. Unfortunately, overcontrol isn't talked about as much. This may be because overcontrolled characteristics—such as persistence, the ability to make plans and stick to them, pursuing perfection, and being in control of emotions-are often highly regarded in our society. However, highly overcontrolled people may struggle to adapt to changes. They may be less open to new experiences. They may experience bitter feelings of envy towards others, and struggle to relax and have fun in many social situations. They may also use fewer gestures, and rarely smile or cry. Together, these may make a person more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness. This may eventually cause their mental health to worsen. Alongside his theory, Lynch also developed a treatment designed to treat issues of overcontrol. It helps overcontrolled people by teaching them how to let go of the need t oalways be in control, be more open about their emotions, better communicate with other people, and be more flexible in changing situations. Continued work in the field will hopefully make it easier for people to get the help they need. 12. How does psychological flexibility help people? A. It backs adjusting to changes effectively. B. It assists in dealing with similar situations. C. It supports overcoming physical challenges. D. It encourages choosing the right personality style. 13. Why is overcontrolled personality less talked about? A. It is insignificant. B. It is underestimated. C. It fits social values. D. It has changing features. 14. What can be inferred about highly overcontrolled people in paragraph 5? A. They ignore their mental health. B. They know little of body gestures. C. They experience few new emotions. D. They have a poor social support network. 15. What is Lynch’s suggestion for highly overcontrolled people? A. Accepting more changes. B. Interacting with others more. C. Evaluating feelings more often. D. Releasing more personal needs. 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，共15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。 It is never fun to listen to criticism. If it is constructive, then you can use it to become a more well-rounded person. If it’s only meant to harm you, then you can work on shaking it off like a bad habit. How to deal with criticism wisely? ____16____ Accept that you’re not perfect. This is a great way to deal with criticism. To be able to take a little bit of feedback (反馈), you can’t keep thinking that you can do no wrong. Nobody’s perfect, so if you think you’re perfect, then you’re nobody. Every person has disadvantages. ____17____ See if there’s some truth to it. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words. ____18____ If ten people say that you are selfish, then they can’t all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something. ____19____ If you have received some criticism delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and clear, just take the time to thank the person and to say that you appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better friend, student, or professional. Stop making excuses. If someone is giving you reasonable criticism, stop making excuses. If you get defensive and make excuses, then the person won’t be able to finish telling you exactly what he or she means, and you won’t get the information you need to really improve. It’s natural that we feel defensive and get the feeling that we can do no wrong. ____20____ A. Thank the person for being honest. B. The following tips can be helpful to you. C. Work on being less sensitive. D. If you don’t see any of yours, you’re not analyzing yourself as closely as you should. E. It’s even more likely if you’ve heard similar comments before. F. Most people are able to deal with criticism properly. G. But it’s important to hear people out before you cut them off to prove you’re perfect. 第三部分：语言知识运用(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30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。 A couple of years ago, I was on an early morning flight to Ecuador. ____21____, during such long journeys, I would put on my headphones and go to sleep. ____22____, on this particular day, I decided to take a little risk.

The majority of them didn’t have working experience for they had spent most of their time at school studying academic subjects. It was not until they graduated from college that they realized it was a challenge for them to land jobs. Jimmy, one of these job hunters, was a young academically excellent person. One day, after making good preparations, he went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. In spite of fierce competition, he managed to pass the first interview. What a lucky dog! Jimmy was informed to come for the next round in a few days — the last interview for the company to make the final decision. The big day finally came. He dressed neatly, the grey tie matching perfectly the decent suit. Blood rushing to his face and heart pounding heavily, he tried to calm down, and then took a few deep breaths. It was his turn. The interviewer, an elegant lady, discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. After several rounds of questions related to the position, she asked, “Have you ever done any part-time jobs?” “None.” After a while, the interviewer asked who paid for Jimmy’s school fees. The youth answered in a low voice, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees.” She continued, “What did your mother do?” “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The lady requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The interviewer paused for a second, leaning against the chair, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” Ashamed, Jimmy replied, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.” She nodded, adding, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning.” 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BBABC 6-10 ACAAB 11-15 CACCB 16-20 BCBCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 长治市2024-2025学年度高三年级九月份质量监测 英语试题 【注意事项】 1. 本试卷全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。(本次考试听力不计入总分) 2. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、考号用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔填写在答题卡上，并检查条形码粘贴是否正确。 3. 选择题使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卡对应题目标号的位置上，填空题和解答题必须用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔书写在答题卡对应框内，超出答题区域书写的答案无效;在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 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。每段对话后有一个小题，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。 1.

Many of these kids don’t have access to green spaces, and have never had the opportunity to grow food.(巴尔的摩城市与学生一起园艺（BUGS）项目鼓励学生通过课后和夏季项目把手弄脏并种植蔬菜。这些孩子中的许多人没有机会接触绿色空间，也从来没有机会种植食物。)”可知，来这里进行园艺活动的孩子从来没有接触过农作，也从来没有机会尝试种植食物，由此可以推测出，该城市花园能向学生提供第一手的耕作经验。故选A项。 3. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Urban gardens are valuable assets to communities. They provide greenspaces to grow sustainable food, build community unity, make new friends, connect with the earth, and much more.(城市花园是社区的宝贵资产。它们提供绿色空间来种植可持续的食物，建立社区团结，结交新朋友，与地球联系等等。)”可知，文章主要讲的是城市花园对社区的影响。由此可以推出，后文提到的四个城市花园都对社区来说都有益处。故选C项。 B My eleven-year-old son reads a lot, but for the past year he’s only been reading comics or graphic (图解的) novels. In my view, these are the books made up, mainly, of cartoons and speech bubbles and are lacking in full pages of text. As a PhD in classical literature, I turn my nose up at my son’s comics, considering them just picture books. My son has argued well for his cause. His claim is that comics are literature or close enough and they do contain many of the basic elements of any novel: plot, backstory, dialogue and etc. But my view is that language is unique. The complicated details of plot, emotion, and inner thought that words alone can convey are surely lost when graphics take their place. And if the pictures are already there for you, what work is left to the imagination? According to the view of some experts on parenting, we should encourage our kids to love books in all shapes and forms, without limiting the type of books they should love. I see their point, but I also worry that laziness might be playing a role here and that’s a motivation I’m less happy to enable. Comics are simply easier to read than other kinds of books; they demand less attention and my suspicion is that they become appealing for that very reason. While this is a fine way to help early or reluctant (不情愿的) readers get into better habits of reading, I’m not so sure the same is true for older kids. In an age of instant satisfaction from fragmentation (碎片化) reading, we are all losing the ability to focus on longer texts, and that’s worrisome. My son is in his academic and emotional development. I want him to be reading things that will challenge him and force him to think deeply and critically, which will help him improve. Isn’t this what reading is for? Do his comic books have such power? 4. What is the author’s attitude toward comics according to paragraph 1? A. Dismissive. B. Approving. C. Unclear. D. Objective. 5. Why does the author think graphics cannot take the place of language? A. Plot can only be expressed by language. B. All the details cannot be conveyed by graphics. C. Language can show the basic storyline more clearly. D. Graphics fail to develop children’s interest in reading. 6. What do we know about the author’s son? A. He likes reading books with full pages of text. B. He thinks comics give much space for imagination. C. He believes comics share many similarities with novels. D. He claims comics are easier to read than other kinds of books. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advise kids to get rid of reading comics. B. To show the significance of reading for children. C. To share her worry about her son’s choice of reading. D. To compare the differences between comics and novels. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕作者对其儿子阅读习惯（偏爱漫画或图解小说）的看法和担忧展开，表达了自己的观点。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As a PhD in classical literature, I turn my nose up at my son’s comics, considering them just picture books.(作为古典文学博士，我对儿子的漫画不屑一顾，认为它们只是图画书。)”可知，作者对漫画非常不屑。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But my view is that language is unique. The complicated details of plot, emotion, and inner thought that words alone can convey are surely lost when graphics take their place.(但我的观点是，语言是独一无二的。文字所能传达的复杂情节、情感和内心想法等细节，在图形取代它们的位置时肯定会消失。)”可知，作者认为图形不能表达文字所能传达出的复杂情节、情感和内心想法等。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“My son has argued well for his cause. His claim is that comics are literature or close enough and they do contain many of the basic elements of any novel: plot, backstory, dialogue and etc. (我儿子为他的选择辩护得很好。他的观点是，漫画是文学或足够接近文学，它们确实包含了任何小说的许多基本元素：情节、背景故事、对话等等。)”可知，作者的儿子认为漫画是文学或足够接近文学，两者非常相似，都有基本元素：情节、背景故事、对话等等。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While this is a fine way to help early or reluctant(不情愿的) readers get into better habits of reading, I’m not so sure the same is true for older kids. In an age of instant satisfaction from fragmentation(碎片化) reading, we are all losing the ability to focus on longer texts, and that’s worrisome.(虽然这是一个很好的方法来帮助早期或不情愿的读者养成更好的阅读习惯，但我不确定这对大一点的孩子来说是否适用。在一个从碎片化阅读中获得即时满足感的时代，我们都在失去专注于较长文本的能力，这令人担忧。)”以及最后一段“My son is in his academic and emotional development. I want him to be reading things that will challenge him and force him to think deeply and critically, which will help him improve. Isn’t this what reading is for? Do his comic books have such power?(我儿子正处于学业和情感发展阶段。我希望他读的东西能够挑战他，迫使他进行深入和批判性的思考，这将有助于他的进步。这不就是读书的目的吗？他的漫画书有这样的影响力吗？)”可推测，作者写这篇文章是为了和读者分享其自己儿子只阅读漫画的担忧。故选C。 C In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night. Unfortunately, growing light pollution has impeded people from the nightly view. New citizen-science-based research throws alarming light on the problem of “sky glow”-the diffuse illumination (漫射照明) of the night sky that is a form of light pollution. The data came from crowd-sourced observations collected from around the world as part of Globe at Night, a program developed by astronomer Connie Walker. Light pollution has harmful effects on the practice of astronomy but also on human health and wildlife, since it disturbs the cycle from sunlight to starlight that biological systems have evolved alongside. Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nighty spectacle (壮观) is evident in ancient cultures. Globe at Night has been gathering data on star visibility since 2006. Anyone can submit observations through the Globe at Night web application. Participants record which one best matches what they can see in the sky without any telescopes or other instruments. Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米). White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to sky glow as seen from the ground. “The increase in sky glow over the past decade underlines the importance of redoubling our efforts and developing new strategies to protect dark skies,” said Walker. “The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky.” 8. What does the underlined word “impeded” in the first paragraph mean? A. separated. B. disabled. C. demanded. D. protected. 9. What does the loss of visible stars lead to? A. Poorer human health. B. Fewer wildlife species. C. More delicate biological systems. D. Less nightly culture elements of the sky. 10. What does the author stress in paragraph 5? A. Crowd sourced data are invaluable B. Shorter wavelengths are hard to detect. C. Satellites play a vital role. D. White LEDs are widely used. 11. What can be inferred from Walker’s words? A. Their consistent efforts pay off. B. The dataset needs to be updated. C. The sky glow has been over-emphasized. D. More participants are expected to join in. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍光污染正在夺走我们的夜空，使得星星在我们眼前消失。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night.(在一望无际的天空中，在一个晴朗、黑暗的夜晚，人类的肉眼应该能够看到几千颗星星)”以及划线词上文“Unfortunately, growing light pollution has”可知，人类的肉眼本来可以看到几千颗星星，不幸的是，日益严重的光污染却使人们不能欣赏夜景。故划线词意思是“使……不能”。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nighty spectacle (壮观) is evident in ancient cultures.(此外，可见星星的损失是人类文化遗产的巨大损失。直到最近，历史上的人类都能看到令人印象深刻的星空，这种夜间奇观的影响在古代文化中很明显)”可知，可见星星的缺失会导致较少的夜间天空文化元素。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米). White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to sky glow us seen from the ground.(研究人员发现，可见恒星的消失表明天空亮度每年增加9.6%，而卫星测量的亮度大约为2%。现有的卫星不太适合测量人类看到的天光，因为它们不能探测到短于500纳米的波长。白光led波长较短，在500纳米以下，现在越来越多地用于户外照明。但人类的眼睛在夜间对这些较短的波长更敏感。天基仪器也不能测量窗户发出的光。但这些光源是我们从地面上看到的天光的重要贡献者)”可推知，作者在第五段中强调了众包数据是无价的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky. (全球夜间数据集对于我们持续评估天空辉光的变化是必要的，我们鼓励任何可以参与的人来帮助保护星空)”可推断，Walker期望会有更多的参与者加入。故选D。 D Having high self-control is often seen as a good thing. It’s believed to be the key to success in life. But as suggested in a theory published by Professor Thomas Lynch, it may not always be a good thing—and for some, it could be linked to certain mental health problems. According to Lynch’s theory, everyone leans (偏向) more towards one of two personality styles: under control or overcontrol. Being under controlled or overcontrolled is neither good nor bad because most of us are psychologically flexible, and can adapt to different situations. So, regardless of whether we're overcontrolled or under controlled, this flexibility helps us deal with life's challenges and setbacks in a constructive way. But when we are much less flexible, both under control and overcontrol can become problematic. Most of us are probably more familiar with highly under controlled people, who may struggle to control their emotions and their behaviors may be unpredictable. This can negatively affect their relationships, education, work, and health. Unfortunately, overcontrol isn't talked about as much. This may be because overcontrolled characteristics—such as persistence, the ability to make plans and stick to them, pursuing perfection, and being in control of emotions-are often highly regarded in our society. However, highly overcontrolled people may struggle to adapt to changes. They may be less open to new experiences. They may experience bitter feelings of envy towards others, and struggle to relax and have fun in many social situations. They may also use fewer gestures, and rarely smile or cry. Together, these may make a person more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness. This may eventually cause their mental health to worsen. Alongside his theory, Lynch also developed a treatment designed to treat issues of overcontrol. It helps overcontrolled people by teaching them how to let go of the need t oalways be in control, be more open about their emotions, better communicate with other people, and be more flexible in changing situations. Continued work in the field will hopefully make it easier for people to get the help they need. 12. How does psychological flexibility help people? A. It backs adjusting to changes effectively. B. It assists in dealing with similar situations. C. It supports overcoming physical challenges. D. It encourages choosing the right personality style. 13. Why is overcontrolled personality less talked about? A. It is insignificant. B. It is underestimated. C. It fits social values. D. It has changing features. 14. What can be inferred about highly overcontrolled people in paragraph 5? A. They ignore their mental health. B. They know little of body gestures. C. They experience few new emotions. D. They have a poor social support network. 15. What is Lynch’s suggestion for highly overcontrolled people? A. Accepting more changes. B. Interacting with others more. C. Evaluating feelings more often. D. Releasing more personal needs. 【答案】12 A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了过度控制对心理健康的影响。虽然过度控制的人具备的特质通常被社会所重视，但他们可能面临难以适应变化、社交孤立和孤独等问题。过度控制的人应该不要总是控制自己的需求，要更好地表达情感并与他人沟通。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Being under controlled or overcontrolled is neither good nor bad because most of us are psychologically flexible, and can adapt to different situations.(受到控制或过度控制既不好也不坏，因为我们大多数人的心理都很灵活，能够适应不同的情况)”可知，心理灵活性使人们能够在生活中灵活地适应不同的情况。因此，心理灵活性有助于人们有效地适应变化。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Unfortunately, overcontrol isn't talked about as much. This may be because overcontrolled characteristics—such as persistence, the ability to make plans and stick to them, pursuing perfection, and being in control of emotions-are often highly regarded in our society.(不幸的是，过度控制并没有被谈论那么多。这可能是因为过度控制的特征——比如坚持、制定计划并坚持下去的能力、追求完美和控制情绪的能力——在我们的社会中往往受到高度重视)”可知，过度控制的人的特征（如坚持不懈、制订并坚持执行计划的能力、追求完美和控制情绪）通常在我们的社会中受到高度重视，由此可推知，过度控制的个性符合社会价值观，所以很少被提及。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“They may experience bitter feelings of envy towards others, and struggle to relax and have fun in many social situations. They may also use fewer gestures, and rarely smile or cry. Together, these may make a person more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness. (他们可能会对他人产生嫉妒的苦涩情绪，并在许多社交场合努力放松和享受乐趣。他们也可能较少使用手势，很少微笑或哭泣。这些因素加在一起可能会使一个人更容易经历社会孤立和孤独)”可知，过度控制的人可能很难适应各种变化，可能不太愿意接受新体验，可能对他人产生苦涩的嫉妒情绪，也可能难以在社交场合中放松和享受乐趣。这些因素可能使他们更容易经历社交孤立和孤独。由此可以推断出，过度控制的人可能拥有较差的社交支持网。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It helps overcontrolled people by teaching them how to let go of the need to always be in control, be more open about their emotions, better communicate with other people, and be more flexible in changing situations. (它帮助过度控制的人，教会他们如何放下总是控制自己的需要，更开放地对待自己的情绪，更好地与他人沟通，在不断变化的情况下更灵活)”可知，Lynch针对过度控制问题研发了一种治疗方法，教过度控制的人如何不要总是控制自己的需求，更加开放地表达情感，与他人更好地沟通，并在不断变化的情况下更具灵活性。由此可推知，Lynch给过度控制的人的建议包括“更多地与他人互动”这一条。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，共15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。 It is never fun to listen to criticism. If it is constructive, then you can use it to become a more well-rounded person. If it’s only meant to harm you, then you can work on shaking it off like a bad habit. How to deal with criticism wisely? ____16____ Accept that you’re not perfect. This is a great way to deal with criticism. To be able to take a little bit of feedback (反馈), you can’t keep thinking that you can do no wrong. Nobody’s perfect, so if you think you’re perfect, then you’re nobody. Every person has disadvantages. ____17____ See if there’s some truth to it. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words. ____18____ If ten people say that you are selfish, then they can’t all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something. ____19____ If you have received some criticism delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and clear, just take the time to thank the person and to say that you appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better friend, student, or professional. Stop making excuses. If someone is giving you reasonable criticism, stop making excuses. If you get defensive and make excuses, then the person won’t be able to finish telling you exactly what he or she means, and you won’t get the information you need to really improve. It’s natural that we feel defensive and get the feeling that we can do no wrong. ____20____ A. Thank the person for being honest. B. The following tips can be helpful to you. C. Work on being less sensitive. D. If you don’t see any of yours, you’re not analyzing yourself as closely as you should. E. It’s even more likely if you’ve heard similar comments before. F. Most people are able to deal with criticism properly. G. But it’s important to hear people out before you cut them off to prove you’re perfect. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了明智地对待批评的一些建议，接受不完美，认真听取他人的批评，真诚感谢他人，别找借口。 【16题详解】 前文“How to deal with criticism wisely? (如何明智地对待批评？)”引出明智地对待批评的话题，后文四个段落给出了具体的建议，因此B项“The following tips can be helpful to you. (下面的建议可能会对你有所帮助。)”符合语境，提到下面分享建议，承前启后。故选B。 【17题详解】 前文“Nobody’s perfect, so if you think you’re perfect, then you’re nobody. Every person has disadvantages. (没有人是完美的，所以如果你认为自己是完美的，那你就什么都不是。每个人都有缺点。)”提到人人不完美，都有缺点，因此D项“If you don’t see any of yours, you’re not analyzing yourself as closely as you should. (如果你看不到自己的任何缺点，那你就没有充分地分析自己。)”符合语境，指出看不到自己的缺点意味着没有充分地分析自己，承接前文。故选D。 【18题详解】 前文“If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words. (如果反馈来自一个最关心你的人，那么你必须考虑这些话是否真的有一些道理。)”建议去考虑最关心自己的人给出的反馈，后文“If ten people say that you are selfish, then they can’t all be wrong, can they? (如果十个人都说你自私，那他们不可能都是错的，对吧？)”指出别人一致给出的评论很有可能是中肯的，因此E项“It’s even more likely if you’ve heard similar comments before. (如果你之前听过类似的评论，那就更有可能了。)”符合语境，指出类似的评论的存在表明别人的反馈很可能真的有道理，承前启后，后一句是对选项内容的解释和支撑。故选E。 【19题详解】 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，根据后文“If you have received some criticism delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and clear, just take the time to thank the person and to say that you appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better friend, student, or professional. (如果你收到了一些以友好和有益的方式传达的批评，或者只是以一种诚实和清晰的方式，那就花点时间感谢那个人，并说你很感激这个人告诉你的事情，这会让你成为更好的朋友、学生或专业人士。)”可知，本段主要建议感谢他人善意地向自己传达批评，因此A项“Thank the person for being honest. (感谢对方的诚实。)”符合语境，指出要表达感谢，契合段落内容。故选A。 20题详解】 前文“It’s natural that we feel defensive and get the feeling that we can do no wrong. (我们很自然地会感到自我防卫，觉得自己不会做错。)”提到面对批评有自我防卫的反应是自然的，因此C项“Work on being less sensitive. (学着不那么敏感。)”符合语境，给出处理这种反应的建议，要学会不那么敏感，承接前文。故选C。 第三部分：语言知识运用(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30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。 A couple of years ago, I was on an early morning flight to Ecuador. ____21____, during such long journeys, I would put on my headphones and go to sleep. ____22____, on this particular day, I decided to take a little risk.

The majority of them didn’t have working experience for they had spent most of their time at school studying academic subjects. It was not until they graduated from college that they realized it was a challenge for them to land jobs. Jimmy, one of these job hunters, was a young academically excellent person. One day, after making good preparations, he went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. In spite of fierce competition, he managed to pass the first interview. What a lucky dog! Jimmy was informed to come for the next round in a few days — the last interview for the company to make the final decision. The big day finally came. He dressed neatly, the grey tie matching perfectly the decent suit. Blood rushing to his face and heart pounding heavily, he tried to calm down, and then took a few deep breaths. It was his turn. The interviewer, an elegant lady, discovered from the CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate research. After several rounds of questions related to the position, she asked, “Have you ever done any part-time jobs?” “None.” After a while, the interviewer asked who paid for Jimmy’s school fees. The youth answered in a low voice, “My father passed away when I was one year old, so it was my mother who paid for all my school fees.” She continued, “What did your mother do?” “My mother worked as a clothes cleaner.” The lady requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect. The interviewer paused for a second, leaning against the chair, “Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?” Ashamed, Jimmy replied, “Never. My mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.” She nodded, adding, “I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother’s hands, and then see me back here tomorrow morning.” 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Back home, Jimmy requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid. It was the first time he had noticed that there were so many bruises in her hands. His tears fell as he cleaned her hands. This was also the first time he had realized that it was the bruises in the mother’s hands that were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future. After cleaning his mother’s hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother. That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. The next morning, Jimmy went to the interviewer’s office. “What have you done and learned, young man?” Jimmy answered with tears in his eyes, “I cleaned my mother’s hands and all the remaining clothes.” The lady nodded, “Please share something with me.” The youth said, “Firstly, I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, there would not be the successful me today. Additionally, by working together and helping my mother, I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Ultimately, I have learned to appreciate the importance and value of family relationship.” The interviewer smiled, “This is what I am looking for to be my manager. You are hired. Congratulations!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了学业优秀的吉米去参加招聘面试，他从中学到研究生的学习成绩一直都很优秀。在面试官得知，从小失去父亲的吉米，一直由做洗衣工的母亲独自抚养，既没有做过兼职工作，也没有帮助母亲洗过衣服后，面试官让吉米回家给母亲洗手的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回到家，吉米请求他的母亲让他给她洗手。”可知，第一段可描写吉米请求给母亲洗手，第一次看清母亲双手的样子及他的感触。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，吉米来到面试官的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写吉米见到面试官后，跟面试官讲述自己做了什么和内心的感悟。 2.续写线索：母亲感到很奇怪——吉米给母亲洗手——发现母亲沧桑的双手——感动落泪——帮母亲洗衣服和母亲交流——跟面试官讲述自己做了什么——分享自己的感悟——被录取 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①谈话：talk /chat ②注意：notice/ pay attention to ③回答：answer/ reply 情绪类 ①感激：appreciation / gratitude ②奇怪的：strange / odd 【点睛】[高分句型1] His tears fell as he cleaned her hands.
