Shane Grammer’s artwork can be found in cities in Mexico, South Korea, Dubai and beyond. In the past years, it’s the murals (壁画) he painted on damaged walls throughout the town of Paradise, California that have gained attention and touched viewers.
In 2018, the Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California’s history, swept through Paradise, flattening entire communities, killing scores of people, and displacing tens of thousands. Grammer, whose hometown was just 15 miles from Paradise, was living with his family and working in the Los Angeles area when he saw accounts of the destruction on his friends’ social media pages. A single mother he knew shared a photo of ash and rubble (碎石) where her home once stood. A childhood friend’s post showed her burned-down house. After he saw a photo of a friend Shane Edwards’ home, which had been reduced to a brick wall with only a chimney standing, he was driven to paint it.
With Edward’s permission, Grammer then used spray (喷) paint to transform Edwards’ burnt chimney into a strikingly black- and- white portrait of a woman, a piece he called “Beauty Among the Ashes”. Once the image was posted on Instagram, the victims of the fire, especially, could not contain themselves. “You bring beauty and hope,” one posted. Over three months, the 47-year-old created a series of more than a dozen spray-painted murals on the remains of buildings and vehicles made useless by the flames. The images included a victim of the fire, a young girl who survived but lost her house, and a series of religious characters.
As a street artist, Grammer has committed his life to creating more art installations (装置艺术) all over the world that connect people through tragic life events. He has started a foundation called the Art Through Hope Foundation where he intends to bring peace through his art to those affected by tragedy. “I want to do something powerful and make art that emotionally influences people,” said Grammer in an interview with KRCR. “I think any artist would consider that as their ultimate goal. And to me, that is the biggest miracle I feel like.”
4. What has led to Grammer’s rise to fame?
A. The post of a burnt-down house. B. The Art Through Hope Foundation.
C. His art installations all over the world. D. His paintings on the ruins in Paradise.
5. Why did Grammer paint murals after the Camp Fire?
A. To bring hope to the victims. B. To record the wildfire.
C. To remember his friend's home. D. To add beauty to the ashes.
6. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Working miracles in art. B. Creating touching art.
C. Doing something amazing. D. Bringing peace.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. From Paradise to Worldwide: Street Artist’s Journey
B. From Ashes to Art: Street Artist’s Murals of Hope
C. From Mural to Miracle: Shane Grammer’s Art Mission

The autonomous vehicle technology is rapidly evolving, promising to redefine urban mobility (机动性). Self-driving cars, with their complicated sensors and artificial intelligence, are expected to significantly reduce traffic accidents, a majority of which are caused by human error.
A notable example is Waymo, a branch company of Alphabet Inc. , which has been pioneering in autonomous vehicle technology. In 2020, Waymo launched its fully autonomous ride- hailing service in Phoenix, Arizona, marking a significant milestone in self- driving technology. This service allows users to book a self- driving car using a mobile app, similar to other ride-sharing services.
Moreover, autonomous vehicles are foreseen to ease traffic jam. Through “Vehicle to Everything” communication, self- driving cars can communicate with each other and traffic infrastructure (基础设施) to maintain a smooth flow of traffic, reducing traffic jam and emissions.
However, the transition (转型) to self- driving technology is not without challenges. The high cost of production, cybersecurity threats, and moral problems in case of traffic accidents are among the problems that need to be settled. Additionally, the technology requires a complete legal and regulatory framework to ensure safety and reliability.
As self-driving technology continues to mature, the potential benefits in terms of safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability are enormous, driving us towards a new era of transportation.
8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?
A. A significant milestone in self- driving technology.
B. “Vehicle to Everything” communication.
C. The challenges faced by autonomous vehicle companies.
D. The legal framework required for autonomous vehicles.
9. How might autonomous vehicles contribute to reducing traffic jam according to the text?
A. By lowering the cost of transportation.
B. Through reducing emissions.
C. Through communication with each other and traffic infrastructure.
D. By reducing the number of cars on the road.
10. What challenges associated with the transition to self- driving technology are mentioned?
A. Lack of interest from the public.
B. Cybersecurity threats and moral problems.
C. Inability to communicate with traditional vehicles.
D. Insufficient milestones achieved.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards self- driving technology?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Critical.

D
I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science. When someone hears what I study, I’m usually meant with two reactions. First up is a small smile with the word “overachiever” on the tip of their tongue. The second is a look of confusion, followed by an exaggerated (夸张的) “why?”. The short answer: I want to be a problem solver, and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person. In addition, I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.
It’s the beginning of a new year, and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple (三个) majors. However, as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester, college is a lot! We are unavoidably forced to make choices do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears? The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something, it’s not going to feel like work. Political Science can be challenging, but to me, it’s fun to read the Constitution (《宪法》) and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.
This may sound hard to accept, but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you’re in a race with your peers, you’re only running yourself into the ground. Don’t double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume (简历), because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years. What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have when it be in your study, career, or something else your career and study will enable you to do.
Always think about your “why” when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major involves. Because at the end of the day, it’s going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you’ re doing along the ride for what it’s worth.
12. How do people tend to feel about the writer’s majors?
A. Amazed or concerned. B. Satisfied or puzzled.
C. Ashamed or challenged. D. Impressed or confused.
13. What enables the writer to enjoy learning Political Science?
A. His career planning for the future. B. His enthusiasm for the major.
C. The value of studying the Constitution. D. The influence of learning engineering.
14. What causes the hard situation of students with multiple majors?
A. Pursuing multiple majors out of competitive motivation.
B. Adjusting the schedule for majors constantly.
C. Estimating the difficulty of multiple majoring inaccurately.
D. Making random choices without sufficient consideration.
15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To explain the reasons for choosing a double major.
B. To promote the concept of multiple majoring.
C. To stress the significance of passion in multiple majoring.
D. To compare the gains and losses of multiple majoring.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者选择机械工程和政治科学作为双专业的原因,以及对于选择双专业或多专业学生的建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science. When someone hears what I study, I’m usually meant with two reactions. First up is a small smile with the word “overachiever” on the tip of their tongue. The second is a look of confusion, followed by an exaggerated “why?” (我主修机械工程和政治学。当有人听到我的专业时,我通常会得到两种反应。 首先是一个小小的微笑,嘴上挂着“超级成功者”这个词。第二个是困惑的表情,然后是夸张的“为什么?”)”可知,作者的专业往往给人深刻印象(impressed)或者让人感到困惑(confused)。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something, it’s not going to feel like work. Political Science can be challenging, but to me, it’s fun to read the Constitution (《宪法》) and see the impact each word has on our interpretation. (我希望第一天就有人告诉我的是,如果你对某件事充满热情,那这件事情就不会像工作。政治学可能具有挑战性,但对我来说,阅读《宪法》并看到每个词对我们解释的影响就很有趣)”可知,是作者对政治学的热爱(enthusiasm)使他喜欢学习政治学。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“This may sound hard to accept, but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you’re in a race with your peers, you’re only running yourself into the ground. Don’t double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume (简历), because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years.(这听起来可能很难接受,但是如果因为你认为你在和同龄人竞争,所以你主修双学位或三学位,你只会让自己陷入困境。如果你是为了在简历上打个分数,不要双修或三修,因为那样你接下来的四年生活将是人间地狱)”可知,为了和同龄人竞争而选择多个专业会让自己陷入困境,所以是这种竞争动机(competitive motivation)导致了多专业学生的困境。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合第二段中“The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something, it’s not going to feel like work.(我希望第一天就有人告诉我的是,如果你对某件事充满热情,那这件事情就不会像工作)”和最后一段“Always think about your “why” when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major involves. Because at the end of the day, it’s going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you’ re doing along the ride for what it’s worth.(当涉及到攻读双专业或三专业的计划时,始终要思考你的“理由”。因为归根结底,做功课的人是你 —— 所以在这个过程中,尽量享受你正在做的事情,因为它是值得的)”可知,作者借用自己的经历告诉我们,在学习多个专业时,热情(passion)可以让我们享受这一过程,强调了热情对于主修多专业的重要性。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。
Autonomy-supportive parenting is an approach that focuses on building a child’s sense of agency in the world as well as a strong sense of self. ____16____ We should recognize that children have a different perspective or experience than adults. Therefore, instead of pushing adults’ way of thinking on children, adults should let kids do their own critical thinking and solve problems themselves, which will help them trust their abilities.
Guide kids to find their own solution
As any parent with more than one child can tell you, kids develop differently. ____17____ While one child may find it easy to start their homework independently, the other might not be a self-starter. So we push our kids to the next level by knowing their skill level and meeting them there.
Let kids find their own fun
____18____ It really is harm to them. It also sets us up to be their cruise (航行) directors at all times. That’s a huge burden on us! Letting children find their own thing to do when boredom strikes allows them to become self-sufficient and use their imagination to find fun on their own.
Trust your child to act in their best interest (or fake it)
Another characteristic of autonomy-supportive parenting is being open, curious, and flexible. Trusting children to be accountable to themselves (or acting like it) is the only way you will know if your child will be a responsible, independent adult. For example, if you ask your child when they think is the best time to do their homework, and they tell you it’s in the morning before school begins, support them and let them try it, no matter how strange it sounds. ____19____
Don’t forget to support yourself
Once you grasp autonomy-supportive parenting, you’ll see opportunities to put it into practice. No matter how old your kid is, adopting this style will not be easy. ____20____ If you get hard on yourself because you’re not measuring up, you’re more likely to return to the controlling practices.
A. It may work.
B. Our kids don’t know how to manage boredom.
C. That can mean we have to support them in different ways.
D. So forgive yourself if things don’t go right on a particular day.
E. And they may not know yet, but it’s good for them to think about it.
F. Some days are just going to be more autonomy-supportive than others.
G. It’s trying to understand children’s experience of what’s going on right now.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍使用自主支持型养育方法时需要注意的四个方面。
【16题详解】
根据下文“We should recognize that children have a different perspective or experience than adults.”( 我们应该认识到,儿童的观点和经历与成人不同。)可知,空处承接下文说的是要理解孩子。故G选项“图理解孩子们对正在发生的事情的体验”切题。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“As any parent with more than one child can tell you, kids develop differently.”( 任何有不止一个孩子的父母都会告诉你,孩子们的发展是不同的)可知,空处与上文为因果关系。故C选项“这可能意味着我们必须以不同的方式支持他们”切题,说明了家长应该怎么做。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“It really is harm to them. It also sets us up to be their cruise (航行) directors at all times.”( 这对孩子来说是一种伤害,而且需要父母随时成为他们的巡航指挥)可知,孩子们不知道如何应对无聊,所以带来了伤害。故B选项“我们的孩子不知道如何应对无聊”切题。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“For example, if you ask your child when they think is the best time to do their homework, and they tell you it’s in the morning before school begins, support them and let them try it, no matter how strange it sounds.”( 如果你问你的孩子什么时候是做家庭作业的最佳时间,并且他们告诉你是在早上上学前,那你就支持他们,让他们试一试,无论这听起来多么奇怪)可知,空处说明产生的效果。故A选项“这可能会奏效”切题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据“Don’t forget to support yourself”( 别忘了支持自己)以及“No matter how old your kid is, adopting this style will not be easy.”( 管你的孩子多大,采用这种方式并不容易)可知,如果某一天事情不顺利,请原谅自己。故D选项“如果某一天事情不顺利,请原谅自己”切题。故选D项。

Most people have the creativity to come up with a new idea. It could be anything: a smartphone app, a concept to improve education, or an invention to help people in need. This creativity is the driving force needed to produce something and become a successful entrepreneur (企业家). Education levels do not matter in this case. From people with little education ___36___ those with advanced degrees, their hearts and minds must ___37___ (fill) with imagination in order to succeed. In fact, this essential element of imagination often thrives among people who have few resources. These people tend to look at things in a different way from those ___38___ have everything given to them. It may be easier to “think outside the box” when resources are not easily available. When there is a real need, the motivation to create and devise solutions is even ___39___ (strong).
___40___ (commit), not cash, is what leads to success. It is dedication (奉献) that turns ideas into realities. Thomas Edison, ___41___ inventor of the light bulb, is the perfect example of someone who was committed to success. According to Forbes magazine, Edison tried over 1,000 times ___42___ (invent) a working light bulb.

38. who 39. stronger
40. Commitment
41. the 42. to invent
43. failing
44. steps 45. her
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了大多数人都有想出新点子的创造力,这种创造力是成功的驱动力,其中教育水平并不重要,想象力和投入奉献精神是通往成功的道路。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:从受过很少教育的人到受过高等教育的人,他们的心灵和思想必须充满想象力才能成功。根据“From people with little education”和“those with advanced degrees”可推知,固定短语from… to…“从……到……”符合题意。故填to。
【37题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:从受过很少教育的人到受过高等教育的人,他们的心灵和思想必须充满想象力才能成功。空处和must构成句子的谓语,fill“(使)充满”和主语their hearts and minds之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,情态动词后be动词应用原形。故填be filled。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:事实上,想象力这一基本要素往往在资源匮乏的人群中更为丰富。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词those,先行词为指示代词,指人,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who作引导词。故填who。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:当有真正的需求时,创造和设计解决方案的动机甚至更强。even通常与比较级连用,表示“更加……”,空处应用strong“强烈的”的比较级形式。故填stronger。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:奉献精神,而不是金钱,是通往成功的道路。空处作主语,commit的名词形式commitment符合题意,意为“奉献精神”,不可数,且句首单词首字母应大写。故填Commitment。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:电灯泡的发明者托马斯·爱迪生就是一个致力于成功的完美例子。根据“of the light bulb”可知,此处特指电灯泡的发明者,空处应用定冠词the。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:据《福布斯》杂志报道,爱迪生为了发明一个能工作的灯泡尝试了1000多次。句子主干成分完整,空处作句子的目的状语,表示“为了……”,应用invent“发明”的不定式形式。故填to invent。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当爱迪生被问及他对多次失败有何感想时,爱迪生回答说:“我没有失败1000次。灯泡的发明需要1000个步骤。”空处作about的宾语,应用fail“失败”的动名词形式。故填failing。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意同上。空处作with的宾语,空前有“1,000”,step“步骤”应用复数形式。故填steps。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:即使资源不容易获得,一个坚定的企业家也会找到实现他或她的想法的方法。空处作定语修饰名词ideas,应用形容词性物主代词her。故填her。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. Mr. White, an education expert, firmly believes in this. On many occasions, he has been telling a true story of his experiences to many young teachers who have just joined the profession.
Mr. White used to work in a remote high school for several years, teaching literature. He was an enthusiastic teacher and that rubbed off on all the children. A little girl named Meredith impressed him the most. The girl was a very well educated girl with a lively mind, a girl with ambition.
The seventeen-year-old girl always wore a bright smile. However, she suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn’t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked different and people didn't know how to approach her Meredith usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “Hi”.
Mr. White was particularly concerned about this student. He hoped that other students could actively approach her, but he never had a suitable opportunity. As a teacher, there are some things that cannot be clearly stated, especially in class when Meredith was present.
In one class, Mr. White gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite (背诵) a poem. He knew that poem was difficult for students to master. Mr. White only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since he knew most of his students wouldn’t do it anyway.
In the class, one by one each student failed to correctly recite the poem. Finally, annoyed and half kidding, Mr. White said that the next student who couldn’t recite the poem had to do three push-ups (俯卧撑) .
To his surprise, Meredith was next! Mr. White was at a loss for a moment, but he couldn’t take back what he had just said. After all, Meredith once told him not to have special demands on her.
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。
Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal,” Meredith said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class. There was a complete silence in the classroom, and Meredith’s classmates looked at each other. When she recited, she made a mistake. Before Mr. White could say a word, she threw her walker aside and started doing push-ups. Mr. White wanted to stop her, but chose to stand by somehow. Then the girl stood up, continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly. When she finished, a student asked, “Meredith, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!”
“Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal,” Meredith said. Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Meredith, well done! We are all teenagers! We all get in trouble time to time. ” “Thank you,” Meredith said as a big smile spread across her face. The rest of the students smiled, too. Meredith got only a few points that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了梅雷迪思是一名需要使用助行器的患有疾病的学生,她在怀特先生的课堂上由于古诗背诵错误,自愿接受惩罚,不顾劝阻完成俯卧撑从而得到同学们的爱和尊重的故事。

①由第一段首句内容“梅雷迪思用助行器走到了全班的最前面。”可知,第一段可描写梅雷迪思背诵古诗的情形,同时出错后仍坚持要做俯卧撑。
②由第二段首句内容““因为我想像你们一样!”要正常,”梅雷迪思说。”可知,第二段可描写梅雷迪思解释做俯卧撑的原因并得到同学们的爱和尊重。

Shane Grammer’s artwork can be found in cities in Mexico, South Korea, Dubai and beyond. In the past years, it’s the murals (壁画) he painted on damaged walls throughout the town of Paradise, California that have gained attention and touched viewers.
In 2018, the Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California’s history, swept through Paradise, flattening entire communities, killing scores of people, and displacing tens of thousands. Grammer, whose hometown was just 15 miles from Paradise, was living with his family and working in the Los Angeles area when he saw accounts of the destruction on his friends’ social media pages. A single mother he knew shared a photo of ash and rubble (碎石) where her home once stood. A childhood friend’s post showed her burned-down house. After he saw a photo of a friend Shane Edwards’ home, which had been reduced to a brick wall with only a chimney standing, he was driven to paint it.
With Edward’s permission, Grammer then used spray (喷) paint to transform Edwards’ burnt chimney into a strikingly black- and- white portrait of a woman, a piece he called “Beauty Among the Ashes”. Once the image was posted on Instagram, the victims of the fire, especially, could not contain themselves. “You bring beauty and hope,” one posted. Over three months, the 47-year-old created a series of more than a dozen spray-painted murals on the remains of buildings and vehicles made useless by the flames. The images included a victim of the fire, a young girl who survived but lost her house, and a series of religious characters.
As a street artist, Grammer has committed his life to creating more art installations (装置艺术) all over the world that connect people through tragic life events. He has started a foundation called the Art Through Hope Foundation where he intends to bring peace through his art to those affected by tragedy. “I want to do something powerful and make art that emotionally influences people,” said Grammer in an interview with KRCR. “I think any artist would consider that as their ultimate goal. And to me, that is the biggest miracle I feel like.”
4. What has led to Grammer’s rise to fame?
A. The post of a burnt-down house. B. The Art Through Hope Foundation.
C. His art installations all over the world. D. His paintings on the ruins in Paradise.
5. Why did Grammer paint murals after the Camp Fire?
A. To bring hope to the victims. B. To record the wildfire.
C. To remember his friend's home. D. To add beauty to the ashes.
6. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Working miracles in art. B. Creating touching art.
C. Doing something amazing. D. Bringing peace.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. From Paradise to Worldwide: Street Artist’s Journey
B. From Ashes to Art: Street Artist’s Murals of Hope
C. From Mural to Miracle: Shane Grammer’s Art Mission
D From Tragedy to Hope: the Story of Shane Grammer

A notable example is Waymo, a branch company of Alphabet Inc. , which has been pioneering in autonomous vehicle technology. In 2020, Waymo launched its fully autonomous ride- hailing service in Phoenix, Arizona, marking a significant milestone in self- driving technology. This service allows users to book a self- driving car using a mobile app, similar to other ride-sharing services.
Moreover, autonomous vehicles are foreseen to ease traffic jam. Through “Vehicle to Everything” communication, self- driving cars can communicate with each other and traffic infrastructure (基础设施) to maintain a smooth flow of traffic, reducing traffic jam and emissions.
However, the transition (转型) to self- driving technology is not without challenges. The high cost of production, cybersecurity threats, and moral problems in case of traffic accidents are among the problems that need to be settled. Additionally, the technology requires a complete legal and regulatory framework to ensure safety and reliability.
As self-driving technology continues to mature, the potential benefits in terms of safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability are enormous, driving us towards a new era of transportation.
8. What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?
A. A significant milestone in self- driving technology.
B. “Vehicle to Everything” communication.
C. The challenges faced by autonomous vehicle companies.
D. The legal framework required for autonomous vehicles.
9. How might autonomous vehicles contribute to reducing traffic jam according to the text?
A. By lowering the cost of transportation.
B. Through reducing emissions.
C. Through communication with each other and traffic infrastructure.
D. By reducing the number of cars on the road.
10. What challenges associated with the transition to self- driving technology are mentioned?
A. Lack of interest from the public.
B. Cybersecurity threats and moral problems.
C. Inability to communicate with traditional vehicles.
D. Insufficient milestones achieved.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards self- driving technology?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Critical.
D
I major in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science. When someone hears what I study, I’m usually meant with two reactions. First up is a small smile with the word “overachiever” on the tip of their tongue. The second is a look of confusion, followed by an exaggerated (夸张的) “why?”. The short answer: I want to be a problem solver, and engineering teaches me how to become that type of person. In addition, I also want to be able to look at the bigger picture.
It’s the beginning of a new year, and a lot of first-years have plans for double or triple (三个) majors. However, as most of us quickly realize after that first fall semester, college is a lot! We are unavoidably forced to make choices do we keep trying to make our double or triple majors work or do we completely switch gears? The thing I wished someone told me on day one is if you’re passionate about something, it’s not going to feel like work. Political Science can be challenging, but to me, it’s fun to read the Constitution (《宪法》) and see the impact each word has on our interpretation.
This may sound hard to accept, but if you are double or triple majoring because you think you’re in a race with your peers, you’re only running yourself into the ground. Don’t double or triple major if you are doing it for a mark on your resume (简历), because then your life will be a living hell for the next four years. What is going to make you impressive is the passion that you have when it be in your study, career, or something else your career and study will enable you to do.
Always think about your “why” when it comes to the schedule a double or triple major involves. Because at the end of the day, it’s going to be you doing the homework - so try to enjoy what you’ re doing along the ride for what it’s worth.
12. How do people tend to feel about the writer’s majors?
A. Amazed or concerned. B. Satisfied or puzzled.
C. Ashamed or challenged. D. Impressed or confused.
13. What enables the writer to enjoy learning Political Science?
A. His career planning for the future. B. His enthusiasm for the major.
C. The value of studying the Constitution. D. The influence of learning engineering.
14. What causes the hard situation of students with multiple majors?
A. Pursuing multiple majors out of competitive motivation.
B. Adjusting the schedule for majors constantly.
C. Estimating the difficulty of multiple majoring inaccurately.
D Making random choices without sufficient consideration.
15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To explain the reasons for choosing a double major.
B. To promote the concept of multiple majoring.
C. To stress the significance of passion in multiple majoring.
D. To compare the gains and losses of multiple majoring.

Autonomy-supportive parenting is an approach that focuses on building a child’s sense of agency in the world as well as a strong sense of self. ____16____ We should recognize that children have a different perspective or experience than adults. Therefore, instead of pushing adults’ way of thinking on children, adults should let kids do their own critical thinking and solve problems themselves, which will help them trust their abilities.
Guide kids to find their own solution
As any parent with more than one child can tell you, kids develop differently. ____17____ While one child may find it easy to start their homework independently, the other might not be a self-starter. So we push our kids to the next level by knowing their skill level and meeting them there.
Let kids find their own fun
____18____ It really is harm to them. It also sets us up to be their cruise (航行) directors at all times. That’s a huge burden on us! Letting children find their own thing to do when boredom strikes allows them to become self-sufficient and use their imagination to find fun on their own.
Trust your child to act in their best interest (or fake it)
Another characteristic of autonomy-supportive parenting is being open, curious, and flexible. Trusting children to be accountable to themselves (or acting like it) is the only way you will know if your child will be a responsible, independent adult. For example, if you ask your child when they think is the best time to do their homework, and they tell you it’s in the morning before school begins, support them and let them try it, no matter how strange it sounds. ____19____
Don’t forget to support yourself
Once you grasp autonomy-supportive parenting, you’ll see opportunities to put it into practice. No matter how old your kid is, adopting this style will not be easy. ____20____ If you get hard on yourself because you’re not measuring up, you’re more likely to return to the controlling practices.
A. It may work.
B. Our kids don’t know how to manage boredom.
C. That can mean we have to support them in different ways.
D. So forgive yourself if things don’t go right on a particular day.
E. And they may not know yet, but it’s good for them to think about it.
F. Some days are just going to be more autonomy-supportive than others.
G. It’s trying to understand children’s experience of what’s going on right now.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. Mr. White, an education expert, firmly believes in this. On many occasions, he has been telling a true story of his experiences to many young teachers who have just joined the profession.
Mr. White used to work in a remote high school for several years, teaching literature. He was an enthusiastic teacher and that rubbed off on all the children. A little girl named Meredith impressed him the most. The girl was a very well educated girl with a lively mind, a girl with ambition.
The seventeen-year-old girl always wore a bright smile. However, she suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn’t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked different and people didn't know how to approach her Meredith usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “Hi”.
Mr. White was particularly concerned about this student. He hoped that other students could actively approach her, but he never had a suitable opportunity. As a teacher, there are some things that cannot be clearly stated, especially in class when Meredith was present.
In one class, Mr. White gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite (背诵) a poem. He knew that poem was difficult for students to master. Mr. White only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since he knew most of his students wouldn’t do it anyway.
In the class, one by one each student failed to correctly recite the poem. Finally, annoyed and half kidding, Mr. White said that the next student who couldn’t recite the poem had to do three push-ups (俯卧撑) .
To his surprise, Meredith was next! Mr. White was at a loss for a moment, but he couldn’t take back what he had just said. After all, Meredith once told him not to have special demands on her.
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。
Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class.

“Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal,” Meredith said.
