When I say"old books", I don't mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines(书资) and odd wood-like smells that /ou need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn't own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children's chapter books and teenagers' topics. Just then, I found my parents' old copies of the entire Harry Potter book series. Visually, my parents' books were my worst nightmare i remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However. I eventually had to accept the fact that if I wanted to read the series, I would have to read my parents' copies. So I began the terrible journey of reading seven old books. When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it's about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictjonal world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now 24. What can. we learn about the author from the first paragraph A. She felt uneasy about owning old books. 序. She had a bad relationship with her parents C. She was passionate for reading classics. D. She was often gifted old books by her parents. 25.

She accepted putting old books on her shelf. D. She figured:out what she truly wanted to read. 高二英语试题(附中版) 第4页(共10页 27. What is the best title for the text? .. My Passion for Reading B.

Across the world, customers stream into their favorite spots to meet with friends and enioy.these tasty drinks In the early 2ooos, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry were concerned: with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? This was the question tha Serenitea, a Manila-based milk-tea company faced in 2o14. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog Unsure of what consumers, truly felt towards the drink, they offered as many flavors as possible. They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct-their brand promise product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their comnetitorr How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate(引起共鸣y" 、Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CLA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer "why". The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they investigated the consumer's deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea led to three consistent psychological responses People were connected to milk through the concept of nurturing(养育): they fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tca to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had -indigestion(消 化不良) problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological benefits of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By including them into the cora of their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path 28, What do the underlined words "earned a foothotd".mean in paragraph 2 A. Made an adjustment. D, Won a position. C. Lost the initiative. D. Achieved a breakthrough 29. What was Serenitea's main concern in 2o14? A Being confused with other brands.

Milk tea was popular among patients. B. Customers found all milk tea identical. ( Customcrs associated milk tea with health. D. Milk tea brands ignored consumers' feelings D As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. While it may sound like good advice, it's not the best or fastest path because practice can only get you so far, says'Scott Young. author of Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery. 'Practice is not a cure-all," Young explains. "It doesn't necessarily improve your skills but rather makes them more automatic. and fluent." In his book, Young clarifies this concept with the game Tetris, where players fit falling blocks to complete lines. The more you practice, the faster and more accurate you become at placing the blocks. However, simply practicing doesn't guarantee higher scores. To reach higher proficiency(精通度), one must go beyond repetitive practice and use the correct techniques. Young said, "It's important to do the correct technique from the beginning. That's why piano teachers and tennis coaches prefer te train someone who has had no experience rather than someone who has had a lot of experience. By starting with the correct techniques. begilmers can grasp skills more quickly. Without established habits to break, they are more likely to build a strong base for long-term improvement." oMalcolm Gladwell popularized the 1o, ooo-hour rule in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, suggesting that proficiency in any field requires about 1o,ooo hours of practice. Yet Anders Ericsson, whose research was a big inspiration for this concept, disagreed. He argued for the idea of deliberate practice, which was not just practice but practice under the guidance with immediate feedback(反J about your performance. He stressed that learning from outcomes through corrective feedback is essential for developing true proficiency otherwise you just spend time getting fluency and confidence. Getting high-quality feedback will depend on how you ask for it. Simply asking someone “What do you think?" is not enough. "There's just no way in our social network that someone could give you really honest feedback and not cause harm to the relationship," Young says. Instead, he suggests asking, YIt"vou were going to make this better, what would you do?" By asking how to improve it, we shift the focus from judgment to praetical steps for addressing any concers 32. What'idej does Scott Young put forward in his book? . High scores need consistent practice. B. Fluency comes from regular practice. '. Right skills don't guarantee success D. Practice may not ensure excellence. 高二英语试题(附中版) 第6页(共10页) 3 Why did Young mention piano teachers and tennis coaches in paragraph 3? '. To introduce a new idea. 5. To make a comparison C To illustrate a point. D. To confirm a guess 34. What does Anders Ericsson advocate? A: Practicing under effective guidance. B. Increasing the frequency of practice C Enhancing the fluency of performance. D. Getting confident from posttive feedback. 35. What is a better way to ask for feedback in Young's opinion? A. Turning to strangers for help. B. Not expecting honest response. C. Asking for ways of improving D. Preparing for any judgment. 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。 The world has a water problem which is simple to understand but not to solve.
