He told Bennett he needed to leave the tour, figuring his place would be filled by another musician and he’d lose his spot for good. Langosch was shocked when Bennett told him that the spot in the band would remain his when he was ready for it. Bennett continued paying Langosch for the five months he took off to care for his wife. “I just can’t forget something like that,” Langosch told The Washington Post in a phone interview on the day of Bennett’s death at the age of 96, his voice trembling. Langosch’s path to playing with Bennett happened in part by chance. He received a surprise call from Tony Bennett’s road manager, who said he was urgently seeking a bassist to play a three-night run with Bennett in Sacramento. Although Langosch believed in his musical abilities, he was nervous to play with Bennett, who at that point had long been a superstar. “It was high pressure. I didn’t want to mess up,” Langosch said. After the first performance in Sacramento, Langosch was hired as the band’s bassist. Langosch went on to play with Bennett for 20 years. In addition to admiring Bennett’s musical talent, Langosch quickly came to appreciate him in other ways. Many times over the course of his career, Langosch watched in awe as Bennett showed kindness to both band mates and strangers. “If there was somebody that was in trouble, Tony was one of the first people there,” he said, “he helped out as much as he could.” Langosch retired from touring in 2008. He stayed in touch with Bennett over the years and often thought about what the artist did to lighten his load during a difficult time. “People should know what kind of person he was,” Langosch said. 4. How did Bennett react to Langosch’s leaving the tour? A. He immediately replaced Langosch with another musician. B. He comforted Langosch with relieving words. C. He ended the tour to wait for Langosch’s return. D. He asked Langosch to reconsider and stay on the tour. 5. What can be learned about Langosch’s first playing with Bennett? A. It was well-planned. B. It had some incidents. C. It was a success. D. It attracted a wide audience. 6. Which word can best describe Bennett? A. Demanding. B. Creative. C. Kind-hearted. D. Far-sighted. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To honor Tony Bennett. B. To introduce Paul Langosch’s career. C. To advertise Tony Bennett’s tour. D. To compare two musicians. C Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda— not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda. When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising generated no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet-and-exercise combination showed an advanced, but it was slight about 4 pounds on average. In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate by boosting appetite and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), which over time limit how many pounds we lose. When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I’ll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much? We treat exercise as a form of self- punishment for being “bad”. In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. The conclusion is that we’re more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. 8. What does the underlined word futile in paragraph 2 mean? A Necessary. B. Popular. C. Dangerous. D. Useless. 9. What happens when you run 30 minutes on a daily basis? A. You will burn 140 calories every day. B. You will lose 4 pounds in a month. C. You might have a higher metabolic rate. D. You might eat more than usual. 10. Why do people who want to lose weight through exercise often give up? A. They don’t view exercise as something enjoyable. B. They find it too physically challenging. C. They have difficulty resisting delicious food. D. They turn their attention to their well- being. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. How long should you exercise a day to lose weight? B. What are the best exercises for losing weight? C. Weight loss: why exercise is the wrong path D. Exercise and weight loss: a pair of brothers D Imagine a busy restaurant; dishes clattering, music playing, people talking loudly over one another. It’s a wonder that anyone in that kind of environment can focus enough to have a conversation. A new study by researchers at Brown University’s Carney Institute for Brain Science provides some of the most detailed insights into the brain mechanisms that help people pay attention in such distraction, as well as what’s happening when they can’t focus. In an earlier psychology study, the researchers established that people can separately control how much they focus (by enhancing relevant information)and how much they filter (by tuning out distraction). The team’s new research, published in Nature Human Behaviour, shows the process by which the brain combines these two critical functions. To conduct the study, Ritz administered a cognitive task to participants while measuring their brain activity in an FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging)machine. Participants saw a swirling mass of green and purple dots moving left and right, like a swarm of fireflies. The tasks, which varied in difficulty, involved distinguishing between the movement and colors of the dots. For example participants in one exercise were instructed to select which color was in the majority for the rapidly movıng dots when the rate of purple to green was almost50/50. Ritz and his co- writer Shenhav then compared the process to how humans harmonize muscle activity to perform complex physical tasks. “In the same way that we bring together more than50 muscles to perform a physical task like using chopsticks, our study found that we can integrate multiple varieties of concentrations in order to perform acts of mental flexibility,” said Ritz, who conducted the study as a PhD student at Brown. “These findings can help us to understand how we humans are able to exhibit such tremendous cognitive flexibility — to pay attention to what we want, when we want to,” Shenhav said. “They can also help us better understand limitations on that flexibility, and how limitations might appear in certain attention- related disorders such as ADHD(注意力缺陷及多动障碍), which we will study and conduct in the future.” 12. Why does the author talk about the busy restaurant at the beginning of the text? A. To complain why people can’t focus attention. B. To show people’s attention among distraction. C. To call on conversation in the busy restaurant. D. To show one example of working environment. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The research result. B. The research participants. C. The research questions. D. The research process. 14. What do people do when they are carrying out flexible acts? A. They adjust various forms of attention. B. They bring together more than 50 muscles. C. They pay attention to the complex physical task. D. They use instruments like chopsticks to help them. 15. According to Shenhav, what can the researchers do in the future? A. Ensure cognition. B. Research diseases. C. Show flexibility. D. Limit attention. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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 things that you do, words that you say, and feelings that you express, contribute to your children’s level of confidence. ____16____, then read on.

He received a surprise call from Tony Bennett’s road manager, who said he was urgently seeking a bassist to play a three-night run with Bennett in Sacramento. Although Langosch believed in his musical abilities, he was nervous to play with Bennett, who at that point had long been a superstar. “It was high pressure. I didn’t want to mess up,” Langosch said. After the first performance in Sacramento, Langosch was hired as the band’s bassist. Langosch went on to play with Bennett for 20 years. In addition to admiring Bennett’s musical talent, Langosch quickly came to appreciate him in other ways. Many times over the course of his career, Langosch watched in awe as Bennett showed kindness to both band mates and strangers. “If there was somebody that was in trouble, Tony was one of the first people there,” he said, “he helped out as much as he could.” Langosch retired from touring in 2008. He stayed in touch with Bennett over the years and often thought about what the artist did to lighten his load during a difficult time. “People should know what kind of person he was,” Langosch said. 4. How did Bennett react to Langosch’s leaving the tour? A. He immediately replaced Langosch with another musician. B. He comforted Langosch with relieving words. C. He ended the tour to wait for Langosch’s return. D He asked Langosch to reconsider and stay on the tour. 5. What can be learned about Langosch’s first playing with Bennett? A. It was well-planned. B. It had some incidents. C. It was a success. D. It attracted a wide audience. 6. Which word can best describe Bennett? A. Demanding. B. Creative. C. Kind-hearted. D. Far-sighted. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To honor Tony Bennett. B. To introduce Paul Langosch’s career. C. To advertise Tony Bennett’s tour. D. To compare two musicians. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。音乐家Paul Langosch与Tony Bennett共事20年，期间Langosch妻子患癌，Bennett给予支持。Langosch赞赏Bennett的音乐才华和善良品质，旨在纪念与表彰Bennett的一生。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Langosch was shocked when Bennett told him that the spot in the band would remain his when he was ready for it. (当Bennett告诉Langosch，当他准备好时，乐队中的位置仍将属于他时，Langosch感到震惊。)”可知，Bennett在Langosch离开巡演时，保证他的位置会为他保留，并用宽慰的话安慰Langosch。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After the first performance in Sacramento, Langosch was hired as the band’s bassist. (在萨克拉门托的首场演出后，Langosch被聘为乐队的贝斯手。)”可知，在第一场演出后，Langosch被聘为乐队的贝斯手。这说明Langosch第一次和Bennett的演出是成功的。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Bennett continued paying Langosch for the five months he took off to care for his wife. (Bennett继续支付Langosch照顾妻子的五个月费用。)”和第三段中的“Many times over the course of his career, Langosch watched in awe as Bennett showed kindness to both band mates and strangers. (在他的职业生涯中，Langosch多次敬畏地看着Bennett对乐队成员和陌生人表现出善意。)”可知，在Langosch妻子生病要离开巡演时，Bennett继续支付Langosch照顾妻子的五个月费用，并且在Langosch的职业生涯中，他很多次都看到Bennett对乐队成员和陌生人都很友善。这说明Bennett是一个心地善良的人。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In addition to admiring Bennett’s musical talent, Langosch quickly came to appreciate him in other ways. (除了欣赏Bennett的音乐天赋外，Langosch很快开始以其他方式欣赏他。)”可知，文章通过Langosch对Bennett的感恩和回忆，突出了Bennett在职业生涯中以及对待他人的善良和慷慨，旨在表达对Bennett的敬意和纪念。故选A项。 C Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda— not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda. When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising generated no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet-and-exercise combination showed an advanced, but it was slight about 4 pounds on average. In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate by boosting appetite and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), which over time limit how many pounds we lose. When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I’ll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much? We treat exercise as a form of self- punishment for being “bad”. In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. The conclusion is that we’re more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. 8. What does the underlined word futile in paragraph 2 mean? A. Necessary. B. Popular. C. Dangerous. D. Useless. 9. What happens when you run 30 minutes on a daily basis? A. You will burn 140 calories every day. B. You will lose 4 pounds in a month. C. You might have a higher metabolic rate. D. You might eat more than usual. 10. Why do people who want to lose weight through exercise often give up? A. They don’t view exercise as something enjoyable. B. They find it too physically challenging. C. They have difficulty resisting delicious food. D. They turn their attention to their well- being. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. How long should you exercise a day to lose weight? B. What are the best exercises for losing weight? C. Weight loss: why exercise is the wrong path D. Exercise and weight loss: a pair of brothers 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了运动减肥的错误认知并倡导人们用正确的态度对待锻炼。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda.(以步行为例。一个体重150磅的人步行30分钟平均会燃烧140卡路里左右。这相当于一罐苏打水——这对你投入的时间和精力来说并不是一个很大的回报。相比之下，不喝苏打水更容易减肥。)”可知，每天步行30分钟减肥效果不理想，说明运动对于减肥来说通常是无用的，futile意为“无用的（Useless）”。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150- pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. (在运动产生有意义减肥的研究中，参与者每周五天或更长时间每次运动至少燃烧400至500卡路里。为了实现这一目标，一个150磅重的人每天至少需要步行90分钟或跑步30分钟。)”和“And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate by boosting appetite and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), which over time limit how many pounds we lose. (即使我们设法做出那么多努力，我们的身体也经常通过提高食欲和减缓新陈代谢来弥补，随着时间的推移，这会限制我们减少多少磅。)”可知，当你每天跑步30分钟时，你的身体会渴望更多的食物，你可能比平时吃得多。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. (当运动不能达到我们的减肥预期时，我们经常停止锻炼。也许运动减肥最大的问题是，它会把体育锻炼变成惩罚——这是我们为了更苗条的身材而必须付出的代价。)”和“We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad.” In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. (我们将运动视为对“坏”的一种自我惩罚。在这种情况下，我们不太可能长期坚持锻炼。)”可知，人们往往把运动当成一种减肥的自我惩罚，所以他们并不喜欢运动，当运动不能达到人们的减肥预期时，人们经常停止锻炼，因此，想通过运动减肥的人经常放弃是因为他们不太可能真正享受运动。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. (我们中的许多人开始锻炼，希望能减掉多余的体重。毫无疑问，努力变得更积极是一件好事。但如果主要原因是减肥，你的决心很可能会落空)”，第二段中的“For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. (对于刚开始锻炼的人来说，运动对于减肥来说通常是徒劳的)”，第三段中的“When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. (当节食和运动相结合时，效果同样不显著)”，第四段中的“And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. (即使我们努力了那么多，我们的身体也会通过渴望更多的食物和减缓新陈代谢来补偿，随着时间的推移，这些影响会限制我们减掉多少磅)”和第五段中的“When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. (当运动不能达到我们的减肥预期时，我们经常停止锻炼)”可知，文章介绍了运动减肥的错误认知，即运动并不能有效地帮助减肥，C选项“减肥：为什么运动是错误的途径”符合文意。故选C项。 D Imagine a busy restaurant; dishes clattering, music playing, people talking loudly over one another. It’s a wonder that anyone in that kind of environment can focus enough to have a conversation. A new study by researchers at Brown University’s Carney Institute for Brain Science provides some of the most detailed insights into the brain mechanisms that help people pay attention in such distraction, as well as what’s happening when they can’t focus. In an earlier psychology study, the researchers established that people can separately control how much they focus (by enhancing relevant information)and how much they filter (by tuning out distraction). The team’s new research, published in Nature Human Behaviour, shows the process by which the brain combines these two critical functions. To conduct the study, Ritz administered a cognitive task to participants while measuring their brain activity in an FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging)machine. Participants saw a swirling mass of green and purple dots moving left and right, like a swarm of fireflies. The tasks, which varied in difficulty, involved distinguishing between the movement and colors of the dots. For example participants in one exercise were instructed to select which color was in the majority for the rapidly movıng dots when the rate of purple to green was almost50/50. Ritz and his co- writer Shenhav then compared the process to how humans harmonize muscle activity to perform complex physical tasks. “In the same way that we bring together more than50 muscles to perform a physical task like using chopsticks our study found that we can integrate multiple varieties of concentrations in order to perform acts of mental flexibility,” said Ritz, who conducted the study as a PhD student at Brown. “These findings can help us to understand how we humans are able to exhibit such tremendous cognitive flexibility — to pay attention to what we want, when we want to,” Shenhav said. “They can also help us better understand limitations on that flexibility, and how limitations might appear in certain attention- related disorders such as ADHD(注意力缺陷及多动障碍), which we will study and conduct in the future.” 12. Why does the author talk about the busy restaurant at the beginning of the text? A. To complain why people can’t focus attention. B. To show people’s attention among distraction. C. To call on conversation in the busy restaurant. D. To show one example of working environment. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The research result. B. The research participants. C. The research questions. D. The research process. 14. What do people do when they are carrying out flexible acts? A. They adjust various forms of attention. B. They bring together more than 50 muscles. C. They pay attention to the complex physical task. D. They use instruments like chopsticks to help them. 15. According to Shenhav, what can the researchers do in the future? A. Ensure cognition. B. Research diseases. C. Show flexibility. D. Limit attention. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了布朗大学卡尼脑科学研究所为了解帮助人们在分心时集中注意力的大脑机制，以及当他们无法集中注意力时发生了什么所进行的研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study by researchers at Brown University’s Carney Institute for Brain Science provides some of the most detailed insights into the brain mechanisms that help people pay attention in such distraction, as well as what’s happening when they can’t focus.(布朗大学卡尼脑科学研究所的研究人员进行的一项新研究提供了一些最详细的见解，以了解帮助人们在这种分心时集中注意力的大脑机制，以及当他们无法集中注意力时发生了什么。)”可知，文章开始提到人们在嘈杂的餐厅能够专注于自己的谈话，而不会分心，是为了显示人们在有干扰的环境中的注意力。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Participants saw a swirling mass of green and purple dots moving left and right, like a swarm of fireflies. The tasks, which varied in difficulty, involved distinguishing between the movement and colors of the dots. For example participants in one exercise were instructed to select which color was in the majority for the rapidly movıng dots when the rate of purple to green was almost50/50.(参与者看到一团绿色和紫色的圆点左右旋转，就像一群萤火虫，这些任务的难度各不相同，包括区分点的运动和颜色。例如，在一项练习中，参与者被要求在紫色到绿色的比例几乎是50%的情况下，选择快速movıng点的大多数颜色。)”可知，该段主要介绍了研究的具体过程。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the same way that we bring together more than50 muscles to perform a physical task like using chopsticks, our study found that we can integrate multiple varieties of concentrations in order to perform acts of mental flexibility,(我们的研究发现，就像我们需要50多块肌肉来完成像使用筷子这样的体力任务一样，我们可以将多种注意力集中在一起，以完成心理灵活性的动作，)”可知，当人们进行灵活性动作时，会调节不同形式的注意力，把它们集中在一起。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Shenhav的话“They can also help us better understand limitations on that flexibility, and how limitations might appear in certain attention- related disorders such as ADHD(注意力缺陷及多动障碍), which we will study and conduct in the future.(它们还可以帮助我们更好地理解这种灵活性的局限性，以及局限性如何出现在某些与注意力相关的疾病中，如注意力缺陷及多动障碍，我们将在未来对它们进行研究。)”可知，Shenhav表明研究者们未来会研究某些与注意力相关的疾病。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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 things that you do, words that you say, and feelings that you express, contribute to your children’s level of confidence. ____16____, then read on.

Decision making also empowers children as it gives them the ability to choose something. But children don’t have the ability of adults and may not know how to reach a decision all by themselves in some occasions. Parents can guide them by offering choices and support, while letting them make the final decision. This helps build their confidence and decision- making skills over time. Praise when they deserve it It is easy to blame a child when he or she does something wrong. And, we never forget to do that. But when the child does something right, we don’t always praise him or her. We are not talking about praising the child for every little thing he or she does well. ____20____. A.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一些帮助孩子建立自信的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The things that you do, words that you say, and feelings that you express, contribute to your children’s level of confidence. (你做的事情，你说的话，你表达的感受，有助于你孩子的自信程度)”可知此处指出你所做的、所说的以及所表达的都对孩子的自信有帮助，根据下文“then read on (然后继续往下读。)”，可知接下来要介绍一些帮助孩子建立自信的方法，而且空后标点符号是逗号，空后的内容是祈使句，空处承上启下，所以空处应该是一个条件句，并且话题与帮助孩子建立自信有关，F项If you want to do and say the right things to help build confidence in your children(如果你想做正确的事，说正确的话来帮助你的孩子建立信心)，承接上文，引出下文，并且选项中的build confidence呼应上文的confidence，符合上下文语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据本段小标题“Love and acceptance (爱与接纳)”以及空前“But do they know that you love them, accept them just as they are, and respect them? Give your children plenty of love even if you are not able to do it all the time. (但是他们知道你爱他们，接受他们本来的样子，尊重他们吗？给你的孩子足够的爱，即使你不能一直这样做。)”可知此处此处指出要给孩子足够的爱，根据空后“Unconditional love will help them grow into confident human beings.(无条件的爱会帮助他们成长为自信的人。)”可知无条件的爱会让孩子成为自信的人，空处承上启下，所以空处内容应和爱与接纳有关，C项Your children need to know that they are loved and accepted(你的孩子需要知道他们是被爱和被接受的。)符合本段主题，承接上文，引出下文，而且空后的them指代C项中的Your children，而且C项中的“loved and accepted”呼应小标题，符合上下文语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 设空处为本段小标题。根据下文“Nobody is perfect. But to raise a confident child, you should not stress too much on the shortcomings. Positive parenting focuses on developing what is good in a child, and making him or her feel empowered. If your children feel defeated by disappointments in life, help them look at the bright side by talking about their success. (人无完人。但要培养一个自信的孩子，你不应该过分强调缺点。积极的父母教育注重培养孩子的优点，让他或她感到有力量。如果你的孩子被生活中的失望打败了，通过谈论他们的成功来帮助他们看到光明的一面。)”可知本段主要讲述的是对待孩子要关注优点，不要过分强调缺点，B项Focus on strengths, not weaknesses(关注优点，克服缺点)指出要关注优点，克服缺点，概括本段内容，而且B项中的weaknesses照应文中的shortcomings，符合上下文语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据小标题“Let them make decisions(让他们做决定)”可知，本段内容与让孩子作决定有关，根据空后“ Decision making also empowers children as it gives them the ability to choose something. (决策也赋予孩子选择的能力。)”指出决策赋予孩子选择的能力，由副词also指空处也应该讲的是和做决定有关的内容，G项Decision making is an important life skill that children need to learn to be confident(为了自信，做决定是孩子们需要学会一项重要的生活技能。)指出作决定是一项重要的生活技能，而且G项中的Decision making照应标题，符合上下文语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据本段小标题“Praise when they deserve it(在他们值得表扬的时候表扬他们)可知本段的建议是要对孩子进行及时的表扬，根据空前“It is easy to blame a child when he or she does something wrong. And we never forget to do that. But when the child does something right, we don’t always praise him or her. We are not talking about praising the child for every little thing he or she does well. (当孩子做错事时，很容易责怪他。我们永远不会忘记这样做。但是当孩子做了正确的事情时，我们并不总是表扬他或她。我们并不是说要因为孩子做得好的每一件小事就表扬他。)”可知此处指出我们的批评总是很及时，而对于表扬我们总是很吝啬，空处位于段末，应对上文内容进行进一步的解释说明或者总结，由此可推断下文应该何时对孩子进行表扬，E项But if the child has put in the effort and achieved something, appreciate it(但如果孩子付出了努力，取得了一些成绩，那就赞赏。)指出如果孩子付出了努力，有了成绩就要及时表扬，对前文内容进行进一步的说明，与上文衔接紧密，紧扣本段小标题，符合上下文语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共三节，满分45分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My parents live in the foothills of Santa Barbara.
