On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛).
I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.
I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”
“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”
She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.
I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.
I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate.
4. Why did the author take up running?
A. By chance. B. Due to stress. C. Out of interest. D. For weight loss.
5. What benefit did the author get from running?
A. Having a regular life style. B. Escaping from her problems.
C. Doing well in school work. D. Getting along well with Mom.
6. What does paragraph 6 mainly talk about?
A. The running process. B. The team spirit.
C. The training hardship. D. The race purpose.
7. What can we learn form the passage?
A. Every dog has its day. B. Challenges build character.
C. Talent is the key to success. D. Accidents can lead to the right path.

If you see the Golden Mile Complex, you will probably think “Wow, that building is ugly,” The roughly stamped, varied colors of concrete would strike most people as untidy: a far cry from the modern steel-glass buildings of the financial district just two miles away.
When this building was completed about 50 years ago, people widely praised it for its stair- like outside, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas called it a “unique work”, Fast forward to 2019. 80 percent of renters supported the decision to sell the complex to developers, and one politician even called it a “vertical slum (垂直的贫民窟)”. Realistic and aesthetic (美学的) considerations make it convincing to say that buildings like this should be destroyed. But they shouldn’t: There’s certainly more to them than their looks.
The building’s architectural style, Brutalism (野性主义) , became popular in Singapore during the 1970s. Brutalism is well known for its heavy reliance on exposed blocks of concrete and angular (有角的) shapes, which has attracted polarizing opinions from many. However, the architecture symbolize the rapid growth of Singapore during this period, right after the country attained independence in1965. These buildings reflect the hard work and persistence of that era and have come to represent Singaporean identity itself. Two years ago, when I moved to Singapore, I immediately fell in love with the city’s modem architecture and leaned how it expressed the island nation’s identity as a high-tech global center. But there seems to be an extreme unhealthy interest in modernity and cleanliness, only creating an artificial surface of the city. These Brutalist buildings add layers to Singapore’s history. To simply destroy and replace them with new structures would make the city seem shallow.
So, you might ask, “What can I do?” Personally, I’m not asking for much. Next time you pass by San “ugly” building, take a moment before you frown. Look at it closely; you might learn something beautiful about where you live.
8. Why do some argue that the Golden Mile Complex should be destroyed?
A. It is not structurally sound B. It is unpopular among renters.
C. It doesn’t go with the environment. D. It doesn’t fit the modern aesthetic.
9. What does the Golden Mile Complex mean to Singapore according to the author?
A. A symbol of its modern architecture. B. A reminder of its history and identity.
C. An example of failed urban planning. D. A barrier to the city’s development.
10. What is the author’s attitude to Singapore’s love for modernity and cleanliness?
A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Uncaring
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Where to See Architectural Masterpieces in Singapore
B. How to Experience the Golden Mile Complex
C. Why Singapore’s “Ugly” Buildings Should Be Conserved
D. Who Is to Blame for Singapore’s Massive Urban Development
D
You are what you think. Whatever you are doing right now is determined by your thinking. All your emotions and desires are influenced by your thinking. The problem is that when you are not aware of your thinking, you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor. When thinking is subconscious, you are in no position to see any problems in it. And, if you don’t see any problems in it, you won’t be motivated to change it. What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it. As a result, most people are in many ways victims of their thinking.
Consider your success as a student. The single most significant variable in determining your success as a student is the quality of your thinking. Your instructors will play a role in your learning, but even the best teachers cannot get into your head and learn for you. If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content, you will not be successful in school.
Here is the key question we are putting to you in this book. If the quality of a person’s thinking is the single most significant determinant of both happiness and success, why not take the time to learn from the best thinkers?
This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to emulate them, and take control of your destiny as a thinker. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking.
This book, as a whole, introduces you to the tools of mind that will help you reason well through various challenges you face. If you take these ideas seriously and practice using them, you can improve the quality of your thinking and ultimately, the quality of your life.
12. Why do many people lack motivation to change their poor thinking?
A. They are victims of emotions. B. They are unaware of the need.
C. They think highly of themselves. D. They lack the academic guidance.
13. What plays the most crucial role in school success?
A. The course content. B. The school environment.
C. The commitment of teachers. D. The quality of an individual’s thinking.
14. What does the underlined word “emulate” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Make friends with. B. Win over. C. Follow the example of. D. Look up to.
15. The book is organized according to ________.
A. types of life challenges B. varieties of thinking tools
C. determinants of life value D. ideas of different thinkers

An Insignificant Task
The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. On that day, every boy and girl was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
As with everything, some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year, and those children were the ones who most looked forward to this day. Among them, Rita stood out. She was a kind and quiet girl. During the previous year she had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita was the favourite to be given the best job of all: to look after the class dog.
But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books for the lessons, telling the time, cleaning the blackboard, or looking after one of the pets. However, Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Even though the teacher insisted that this ant was a very special ant, Rita could not help feeling disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. They sympathised with her and remarked at how unfair it was that she had been given that job.
Yet, Rita, who liked her teacher very much, chose to prove her worth through excellence. “I will turn this little task into something great,” Rita said to herself. What she didn’t know was that the teacher had secretly entered her into a rainforest insect raising competition.
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。
Rita started investigating all about her little ant.

On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛).
I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.
I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?”
“It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.”
She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran.
I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress.
I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate.

A. By chance. B. Due to stress. C. Out of interest. D. For weight loss.

C
If you see the Golden Mile Complex, you will probably think “Wow, that building is ugly,” The roughly stamped, varied colors of concrete would strike most people as untidy: a far cry from the modern steel-glass buildings of the financial district just two miles away.
When this building was completed about 50 years ago, people widely praised it for its stair- like outside, Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas called it a “unique work”, Fast forward to 2019. 80 percent of renters supported the decision to sell the complex to developers, and one politician even called it a “vertical slum (垂直的贫民窟)”. Realistic and aesthetic (美学的) considerations make it convincing to say that buildings like this should be destroyed. But they shouldn’t: There’s certainly more to them than their looks.
The building’s architectural style, Brutalism (野性主义) , became popular in Singapore during the 1970s. Brutalism is well known for its heavy reliance on exposed blocks of concrete and angular (有角的) shapes, which has attracted polarizing opinions from many. However, the architecture symbolize the rapid growth of Singapore during this period, right after the country attained independence in1965. These buildings reflect the hard work and persistence of that era and have come to represent Singaporean identity itself. Two years ago, when I moved to Singapore, I immediately fell in love with the city’s modem architecture and leaned how it expressed the island nation’s identity as a high-tech global center. But there seems to be an extreme unhealthy interest in modernity and cleanliness, only creating an artificial surface of the city. These Brutalist buildings add layers to Singapore’s history. To simply destroy and replace them with new structures would make the city seem shallow.
So, you might ask, “What can I do?” Personally, I’m not asking for much. Next time you pass by San “ugly” building, take a moment before you frown. Look at it closely; you might learn something beautiful about where you live.
8. Why do some argue that the Golden Mile Complex should be destroyed?
A. It is not structurally sound B. It is unpopular among renters.
C. It doesn’t go with the environment. D. It doesn’t fit the modern aesthetic.
9 What does the Golden Mile Complex mean to Singapore according to the author?
A. A symbol of its modern architecture. B. A reminder of its history and identity.
C. An example of failed urban planning. D. A barrier to the city’s development.
10. What is the author’s attitude to Singapore’s love for modernity and cleanliness?
A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Uncaring
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Where to See Architectural Masterpieces in Singapore
B. How to Experience the Golden Mile Complex
C. Why Singapore’s “Ugly” Buildings Should Be Conserved
D. Who Is to Blame for Singapore’s Massive Urban Development
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过对新加坡建筑the Golden Mile Complex建筑风格的描述、对新加坡发展历程的回顾以及对现代性与传统的思考,强调了这些“丑陋”建筑物的作用,并呼吁人们要珍视和保护它们。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Realistic and aesthetic (美学的) considerations make it convincing to say that buildings like this should be destroyed. But they shouldn’t: There’s certainly more to them than their looks. (从现实和美学的角度考虑,似乎有理由说这样的建筑应该被拆除。但它们却不应该被拆除:因为它们的价值绝不仅仅在于外观。)”可知,一些人认为从现实主义和美学的角度考虑,像这样的建筑已经不符合主流审美了,应该被拆除。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“However, the architecture symbolize the rapid growth of Singapore during this period, right after the country attained independence in1965. These buildings reflect the hard work and persistence of that era and have come to represent Singaporean identity itself. (然而,这些建筑象征着新加坡在1965年独立后不久的快速成长。这些建筑反映了那个时代的辛勤努力和坚持不懈,并且已经成为新加坡身份的象征。)”可知,the Golden Mile Complex是新加坡历史和身份的象征。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“But there seems to be an extreme unhealthy interest in modernity and cleanliness, only creating an artificial surface of the city. These Brutalist buildings add layers to Singapore’s history. To simply destroy and replace them with new structures would make the city seem shallow. (但似乎有一种极端而不健康的对现代性和清洁度的兴趣,这仅仅创造了城市的表面人工形象。这些粗野主义(Brutalist)建筑为新加坡的历史增添了层次感。如果简单地将它们拆除并用新建筑取代,会使这座城市显得缺乏深度。)”可知,作者认为单纯追求现代化和城市清洁只能创造虚假的外表,是一种病态的兴趣。因此,作者对此的态度是不赞成的。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“If you see the Golden Mile Complex, you will probably think “Wow, that building is ugly,” The rougbly stamped, varied colors of concrete would strike most people as untidy: a far cry from the modern steel-glass buildings of the financial district just two miles away. (如果你看到the Golden Mile Complex,你可能会觉得“哇,这楼真丑。”那粗糙的混凝土表面和不均匀的颜色会让大多数人觉得杂乱无章:这与两英里外金融区那些现代化的钢铁玻璃建筑形成了鲜明对比。)”以及最后一段“So, you might ask, “What can I do?” Personally, I’m not asking for much. Next time you pass by San “ugly” building, take a moment before you frown, Look at it closely; you might learn something beautiful about where you live. (所以,你也许会问,“我能做些什么?”就我个人而言,并不需要你做很多。下次当你路过那些所谓的“丑陋”建筑时,在你皱眉之前,花点时间仔细看看它;你或许能从中发现你居住的地方的一些美好之处。)”可知,文章通过对新加坡建筑the Golden Mile Complex建筑风格的描述、对新加坡发展历程的回顾以及对现代性与传统的思考,强调了这些“丑陋”建筑物的作用,并呼吁人们要珍视和保护它们。所以“为什么新加坡的“丑陋”建筑应该得到保护”适合作本文的标题。故选C。

You are what you think. Whatever you are doing right now is determined by your thinking. All your emotions and desires are influenced by your thinking. The problem is that when you are not aware of your thinking, you have no chance of correcting it if it is poor. When thinking is subconscious, you are in no position to see any problems in it. And, if you don’t see any problems in it, you won’t be motivated to change it. What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it. As a result, most people are in many ways victims of their thinking.
Consider your success as a student. The single most significant variable in determining your success as a student is the quality of your thinking. Your instructors will play a role in your learning, but even the best teachers cannot get into your head and learn for you. If you lack the intellectual skills necessary for thinking well through course content, you will not be successful in school.
Here is the key question we are putting to you in this book. If the quality of a person’s thinking is the single most significant determinant of both happiness and success, why not take the time to learn from the best thinkers?
This book will inform you of the tools that the best thinkers use and will illustrate the activities and practice you can use to begin to emulate them, and take control of your destiny as a thinker. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of these thinking aids, helping you discover the power of your own mind and of your potential to think systematically about your thinking.
This book, as a whole, introduces you to the tools of mind that will help you reason well through various challenges you face. If you take these ideas seriously and practice using them, you can improve the quality of your thinking and ultimately, the quality of your life.
12. Why do many people lack motivation to change their poor thinking?
A. They are victims of emotions. B. They are unaware of the need.
C. They think highly of themselves. D. They lack the academic guidance.
13. What plays the most crucial role in school success?
A. The course content. B. The school environment.
C. The commitment of teachers. D. The quality of an individual’s thinking.
14. What does the underlined word “emulate” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Make friends with. B. Win over. C. Follow the example of. D. Look up to.
15. The book is organized according to ________.
A. types of life challenges B. varieties of thinking tools
C. determinants of life value D. ideas of different thinkers
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段“What’s worse, few people realize the powerful role that thinking plays in their lives, so they don’t gain significant command of it.(更糟糕的是,很少有人意识到思考在他们的生活中发挥的强大作用,所以他们没有得到重要的控制)”可知,很多人缺乏动力去改变他们糟糕的想法因为他们没有意识到这种需要。故选B。

【答案】 I can still remember one day I decided to help my parents wash dishes after dinner. At first I got the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Then I began to wash them. I turned on the tap and water covered all the dishes in the sink. Then I added some detergent to the water. Maybe because I put too much, it was full of bubbles in the sink. It was just like a bubble bath for dishes and bowls. I caught a bowl to wash. It was slippery. “Pang!” The bowl slipped from my fingers. It dropped into the sink and broke another bowl and a dish. It was terrible! There was only one dish left.
At that moment, my mother suddenly appeared by my side with her mouth widely open. I thought she was going to punish me, but she just burst into laughter and encouraged me to do a better job next time.

An Insignificant Task
The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. On that day, every boy and girl was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
As with everything, some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year, and those children were the ones who most looked forward to this day. Among them, Rita stood out. She was a kind and quiet girl. During the previous year she had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita was the favourite to be given the best job of all: to look after the class dog.
But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books for the lessons, telling the time, cleaning the blackboard, or looking after one of the pets. However, Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Even though the teacher insisted that this ant was a very special ant, Rita could not help feeling disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. They sympathised with her and remarked at how unfair it was that she had been given that job.
Yet, Rita, who liked her teacher very much, chose to prove her worth through excellence. “I will turn this little task into something great,” Rita said to herself. What she didn’t know was that the teacher had secretly entered her into a rainforest insect raising competition.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】示例
Rita started investigating all about her little ant. She meticulously researched ants’ behaviors, their habitats, and their roles in ecosystems. She constructed a miniature ecosystem within the box, carefully imitating the ant’s natural environment. Rita observed the ant’s movements, carefully documenting its behavior and interactions with the sand and the environment she provided. She even consulted experts and read scientific journals to ensure she was providing the best care possible for her tiny companion. As days passed, Rita’s classmates noticed her dedication and became interested by her project. Rita shared her findings with the class, gradually turning her seemingly ordinary task into a fascinating learning experience for everyone.
On the last day of the school year, the teacher burst into the classroom with excitement. “I have some incredible news to share with you all! Rita has won first place in the rainforest insect raising competition!” The teacher then revealed how she had planned everything in advance. Her secret support for Rita surprised everyone in the class, making them gasp and cheer with joy. “The judges were truly amazed by Rita’s unwavering commitment to her ant,” the teacher continued. Her words left a profound impact on the children in the classroom. That day, every one learned a valuable lesson: dedication and perseverance can lead to excellence, no matter how small the task may seem. Rita had undoubtedly kept her promise and proved her worth.
