A found that difficult to build B. found that is difficult building C. found it difficult to build D. found it is difficult building 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型，代词it和非谓语动词。句意：因为吉普赛人们总是从一个国家辗转到另一个国家，他们发现很难建立永久定居点或找到工作。表示“发现”用动词find，为主句的谓语动词，陈述过去的事实，用一般过去时；“很难建立永久定居点或找到工作”可处理为宾语从句，“做某事是……的”为it be+adj.+to do sth.，因此该句可表达为it is difficult to build permanent settlements or find jobs，从句成份和意义都完成，用连接词that引导从句，且可省；“发现很难建立永久定居点或找到工作”也可处理为固定句型find it+adj.+to do，it是形式宾语，不定式（短语）作正真的宾语。对比选项可知，C项正确，用了第二种表达方式。故选C。 10.

A. Exposing B. Exposed C. Having exposed D. Being exposed 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词。句意：某种程度上，长时间暴露在阳光下对皮肤有害。分析句子结构可知，此处应为非谓语动词作主语，结合句意可知，此处表示习惯性动作，所以使用动名词形式作主语，be exposed to意为“暴露于”符合句意，所以使用动名词短语being exposed，因位于句首，being的首字母需大写。故选D项。 13.

A. approached; which B. approached; that C. approaching; which D. approaching; that 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查with复合结构和同位语从句。句意：随着国庆节的临近，我很高兴得知我的家人将前往西班牙旅行的消息。第一空考查with复合结构，the National Day与approach为主动关系，所以这里应用现在分词作宾补。第二空引导名词性从句作news的同位语，对其进行解释说明，同位语从句的成分和语义均完整，应用连接词that作引导词。故选D项。 16. ________ every shot, the weak plastic backboard ________.

Dressing; telling 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他穿上最好的西装，准备领奖，却被告知出了一个错误。 第一个空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语，动词dress和主语he之间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词形式；第二个空格处用非谓语形式作状语，only to do表示出乎意料的结果，he和tell之间是被动关系，所以应该用不定式的被动语态to be told。故选A项。 18.

A. why; because B. that; because C. that; that D. why; that 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和表语从句。句意：我给出的迟到的原因是我在路上遇到了一位老朋友。第一空引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The reason，先行词指物，关系词替代先行词在从句中作gave的宾语，应用关系代词that引导从句；第二空引导表语从句，从句中不缺少成分且意义完整，应用that引导表语从句。故选C。 19.

A. Considering; estimate B. Considered; estimate C. Considering; examine D. Considered; examine 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：考虑到我们的健康，每年检查一次身体是必要的。分析句子可知，第一空应填considering，表“考虑到”，为介词；第二空应用examine，表“检查”，由上文Considering our health可知，这里应指检查身体，而estimate，表“估计”，不符合句意。故选C项。 21.

A. is written; buying B. writes; to be bought C. writes; buying D. wrote; being bought. 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和非谓语动词。句意：这支笔很好用，我认为值得买。老实说，如果你不买它，你会后悔的。谓语动词write和主语pen之间虽然是被动关系，但表示“写得好”通常用主动形式表被动，描述客观事实，用一般现在时，故第一个空直接用单三形式writes；be worth doing是固定短语，意为“（某事）值得（被）做”，故第二个空用动名词buying作宾语。故选C项。 23. We regret _______ that all flights to Florida will be put off due to the coming storms. A. announcing B. to have announced C. to announce D. to be announced 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查不定式。句意：我们很遗憾的通知所有前往弗洛里达的航班都因为暴风雨延迟了。regret后面可以接doing，意思是“后悔做过”；也可以接to do，意思是“遗憾的做”。根据句意，应该选择to do的形式。B选项错误，因为to have done表示动作发生在谓语之前，D选项错误，本题并不是被动语态，故选C项。 24. —Over the past 60 years, China’s high-speed railway ______ fast. —That’s true. The project of Jinan-Zhengzhou High-speed Railway ______ by the end of this year.

A. to be repairing B. repairing C. to repair D. repaired 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查过去分词。句意：海伦的智能手机坏了。她得把它修好。此空为“get+宾语+宾补”结构，所以此处为非谓语动词短语作宾补，it指代的为smartphone，与repair之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式作宾补。故选D项。 27.

A. spoken; attach B. speaking; attach C. speaking; associate D. spoken; associate 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态，主谓一致，省略和动词词义辨析。句意：一提到中国，人们就会联想到长城。A. spoken被说；attach粘，贴；B. speaking说；attach粘，贴；C. speaking说；associate联系；D. spoken被说；associate联系。when引导的时间状语从句表示“当人们正在说起中国时”，时态用现在进行时，即when people are speaking of China，从句中主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此第一空是speaking；associate...with...是固定短语，意为“把……和……联系在一起”，因此第二空是associate。故选C。 28.

A. fascinated by B. generous with C. appreciative of D. concerned for 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词短语辨析。句意：我非常感激在我遇到困难时朋友们给我的所有支持。A. fascinated by 着迷于；B. generous with 对……慷慨；C. appreciative of 感激；D. concerned for 关心。根据“all the support that my friends have given me when I was in trouble(我遇到困难时朋友们给我的所有支持)”可知，此处应该是表达感激之情，故选 C 项。 29. ________ is known that success ________ happens overnight.

It它；frequently频繁地；B. What什么；rarely很少；C. What什么；frequently频繁地；D. It它；rarely很少。根据句意句子结构可知，that引导的是主语从句，因此第一空用it作形式主语；根据客观事实可知，成功很少是一夜之间发生的，第二空意为“很少”，用rarely。故选D。 30. --This project requires close ______. --I think so.

When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance. When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way. On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything. How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel. 34. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble? A. Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious. 35. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect. 36. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Everything in social media is not true. B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world. C. People like to share their privacy in social media. D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance. 37. What should parents do to their kids? A. Tell them to behave themselves. B. Praise their kids for their appearance. C. Set a positive example for their kids. D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty. 【答案】34. C 35. D 36. A 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过女儿被队友的话语伤害这件事儿引发了对于孩子自我价值教育的思考。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her.(当我问她时，她告诉我，一个队友说她牙齿黄。我为她感到心碎。)”可知，作者在听到女儿的苦恼后，作者心碎了，故作者是伤心的，故选C。 【35题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词shield前文内容“I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth.(我想要保护她的耳朵，不去听到那些可能会影响她的自我价值的那些不友好的话语。)”可推知，此处划线词所在的句子与前文构成排比，故此处的划线词shield与前文内容中的protect意思相近，意为“保护她的眼镜不看到那些杂志、电视和电影呈现的不真实的美”，故选D。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality.(在社交媒体上，这场战斗变得异常激烈。每天我们都那些被人们过着‘最好的生活’所轰炸，所有都是过滤后只突出‘最好’的那部分：最佳角度、最佳位置、最佳服装和最佳发型。我们很少能看到现实。)”可推知，媒体上呈现的都是过滤后的“最好”的东西，我们很少能看到现实的东西，故媒体上的东西并非都是现实的，故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others.(孩子是令人难以置信的模仿者，因此要注意你的言语，即使当你在孩子没有在听的时候。如果我们不断地贬低自己，我们的孩子也会效仿。相反，当谈到自我价值时，要采取积极的态度。而且，努力教会你的孩子看到自己和他人的内在美。)”可知，孩子是一个模仿者，因此当谈到自我价值时，我们要积极面对，孩子才能效仿我们，也同样积极面对，因此我们应给孩子树立一个正确的榜样，故选C。 C The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism(机制) to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining (获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative (有重大影响的) environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful (深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption (热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 38. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 39. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斯坦福棉花糖实验的原理，以及将其类比到成人面对信息诱惑时的自控挑战，强调在信息丰富的时代需谨慎选择信息消费。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat.(每个孩子都被告知，如果他们在吃之前等待15分钟，他们将得到第二次奖励)”可知，孩子们需要等待15分钟后再吃糖果，才能得到第二份奖励。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining(获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.(但是，随着我们重塑了周围的世界，大大减少了获取热量的成本和努力，我们的大脑仍然和数千年前一样，而这种不匹配是我们中许多人难以抗拒我们知道不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因)”可知，丰富的食物供应和我们不曾改变的大脑之间存在不匹配。故选C。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful(深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption(热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(因此，正如我们需要对自己的热量消耗更加深思熟虑一样，我们也需要对自己信息的消耗更加深思熟虑，抵制精神上“垃圾食品”的诱惑，才能最有效地管理我们的时间)”可知，作者建议读者做有选择性的信息消费者。故选C。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第二段“As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted(诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets —all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.(作为成年人，我们每天都要面对一个版本的棉花糖测试。我们不被甜食所诱惑，而是被我们的电脑、手机和平板电脑所诱惑——所有这些设备都将我们连接到全球各种类型的信息传递系统，这些信息对我们的影响就像棉花糖对学龄前儿童的影响一样)”可知，文章主要是讲在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对的信息诱惑与自我控制问题，类比儿童面对棉花糖测试，信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”，因此C选项“成年人的棉花糖测试”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 D On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding. Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.” The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.” One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.” Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety. 42. What does the project aim to do? A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms. C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming. 43. Who are opposed to the project? A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta. C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton. 44. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999? A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms. C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding. 45. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist. C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada. 【答案】42. C 43. B 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了1991年9月7日，加拿大历史上损失最大的冰雹袭击了卡尔加里的南郊。因此，自1996年以来，一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机在有威胁的风暴中心中播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下。但是，在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心，“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处，宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.(因此，自1996年以来，一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机在有威胁的风暴中心中播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下)”可知，这个项目的目标是防止冰雹的形成。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.(但是，在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心，“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处，宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走)”可知，艾伯塔省中东部的农民反对这个项目。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”(查克·多斯韦尔是一位刚刚从俄克拉何马大学退休的研究科学家，他对人工降雨的安全性持怀疑态度。“1999年，我在堪萨斯州亲眼目睹了由种子风暴细胞形成的重大龙卷风，”多斯韦尔博士说。“人工降雨会制造致命风暴还是减少顺风处的水分？当然，没有人真正知道，但是播种还在继续。”)”可推知，多斯韦尔博士提到他在1999年看到的龙卷风是为了提示人工降雨可能带来的危险。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.(考虑到质疑的程度，斯廷旺德建议，“停止人工降雨是明智的。”在实践中，怀疑产生了相反的效果。由于缺乏有关其影响的科学证据，没有人成功地赢得了对人工降雨公司的诉讼。因此，私人气候工程可以在相对合法的安全条件下进行)”可推知，从最后一段我们能推断出人工降雨公司将继续存在。故选B。 第二节 七选五（5小题，每小题2. 5分，共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。 How to Stop Being a People Pleaser As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser. Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please? ____46____ Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to. Just say “no”.

The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction. ____48____ Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships.

Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. ____49____ Check out our summary of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself.

The Color Run The Color Run，also known as the Happiest 5K on the Planet, is an event where runners wear white clothes and are painted from head to toe in different colors at each kilometer, crossing the finish line in a variety of colors.The runners are not be timed, which removes runners’ pressure of keeping a specific pace or worrying about the placing. Disney Running Series Why not combine a trip to the happiest place on earth with a little exercise?Run Disney offers a number of half-marathon and marathon weekend packages, many of which also feature the more accessible 5K distance.On Disneyland’s Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend, Friday features a Spiderman-themed 5K, while the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend runs a family-friendly 5K through Epcot.

My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance. When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way. On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything. How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel. 34. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble? A Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious. 35. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect. 36. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Everything in social media is not true. B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world. C. People like to share their privacy in social media. D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance. 37. What should parents do to their kids? A. Tell them to behave themselves. B. Praise their kids for their appearance. C. Set a positive example for their kids. D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty. C The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connect ion between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults, we face a version(版本) of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism(机制) to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining (获取) calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch(不匹配) is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist (抵抗) tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative (有重大影响的) environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful (深思熟虑的) about our caloric consumption (热量消耗), we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 38. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 39. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______. A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 40. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Absorb new information readily (欣然地). B. Use diverse information sources. C. Be selective information consumers. D. Protect the information environment. 41. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Marshmallow Test for Children. D On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding. Norman Stienwand who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.” The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.” One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.” Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety. 42. What does the project aim to do? A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms. C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming. 43. Who are opposed to the project? A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta. C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton. 44. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999? A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms. C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding. 45. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist. C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada. 第二节 七选五（5小题，每小题2. 5分，共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。 How to Stop Being a People Pleaser As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser. Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please? ____46____ Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to. Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing others. ____47____ If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction. ____48____ Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. All healthy relationships have their own boundaries. If you haven’t set boundaries in your relationships, the odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don’t want to do. Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. ____49____ Check out our summary of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself. Remember that you cannot please everyone. No matter what you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your choices. ____50____ A. Set healthy boundaries. B. Keep healthy relationships. C. Why do you feel the need to keep them happy? D. Spend some time learning to love yourself for who you are. E. And why bother trying to please everyone if it isn’t possible? F. But saying “no” is the best way to take care of your own needs. G. That is why the more you seek security, the less of it you have. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分35分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thank-you note expressing ____51____ for kindness.
