阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A Break in Llandudno, Wales
A Victorian favourite once billed as the “Queen of Welsh resorts”, Llandudno has kept much of the charm (魅力) that made it so popular. The walking path around Llandudno Bay, the smell of fish and chips moving in the air, and old-fashioned amusements all combine to deliver a typical British seaside break. And a stay in Llandudno can be combined with a trip to Conwy, which has an impressive castle and Britain’s smallest house.
Where to eat
Dylan’s, on Llandudno’s East Parade, is set in a Grade Ⅱ-listed building and offers sea views plus a menu starring local produce. Dishes might include Welsh lamb tacos and Conwy pork. Its attached shop has a range of award-winning Welsh sauces and preserves to take home.
Where to stay
Set in a Grade I-listed 17th-century country house, Bodysgallen Hall is one of only three National Trust-owned hotels. It has views of Conwy Castle. Guests can tour the grounds with the head gardener. From £260 per night.
What we like
A half-hour drive or train ride away, the picture-perfect market town of Llanrwst has an impressive three-arched (拱形的) bridge across the River Conwy. Take a walk and drop by a wine shop and restaurant Amser Da. Highlights include Welsh cheeses and Anglesey sea salt.
Don’t miss
A 20-minute drive from Llandudno the National Bodnant Garden has Italian-style rose terraces (梯田). The step-free Rose Walk takes in key parts of the garden, such as Waterfall Bridge and Old Mill, set against the backdrop of the Eryri foothills.
21. What can you see in Conwy?
A. A splendid castle. B. Britain’s oldest house.
C. A queen’s residence. D. Italian-style rose terraces.
22. Which of the following highlights Dylan’s?
A. A snack bar. B. Local produce. C. A kind waiter. D. Tasty seafood.
23. Where should you go if you want to admire roses?
A. Bodysgallen Hall. B. The town of Llanrwst.
C. Llandudno’s East Parade. D. The National Bodnant Garden.
B
In early 2018, I was training for the London Marathon—the first and only marathon I would ever run in my life. I had treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end of my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.
It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it? The point was to be better.
In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing.
What has become very clear to me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely love doing them. I run around my local park with a silly little smile on my face. I love it so much. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face.
I am better. Or sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m slowly plodding along, and that’s good enough.
24. The author cried after the final training run because she ________.
A. had to stop working out B. became physically worn out
C. lost the data on the watch D. felt a sharp pain in the legs
25. The author used to view exercise tracking as ________.
A. a fun hobby for enjoyment B. a strong need for recognition
C. a method of escaping punishment D. a way of being a better runner
26. What does “being better” mean to the author now?
A. Getting pleasure out of winning races. B. Being more focused on her life goal.
C. Freeing herself from demanding tasks. D. Improving her overall well-being.
27. What can we conclude from this passage?
A. Adjustment brings happiness. B. Passion is the key to success.
C. Sports contribute to happiness. D. Success equals self-improvement.
C
From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises(朱鹗)from the edge of extinction.
With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as “the oriental gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south,the last shelter of the wild birds.
Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas,cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding(繁殖)areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas.China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi as of last year.
Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.
“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life, but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”
28. Why are the Qinling Mountains so important to crested ibises?
A. They are where crested ibises were first found.
B. They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.
C. They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.
D. They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.
29. What can we conclude from paragraph 4?
A. Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.
B. It's legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.
C. Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.
D. The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.
30. How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises?
A. Merciful and ambitious. B. Relieved and happy.
C. Shocked and curious. D. Sorry and regretful.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Rare animals in China: crested ibises
B. Artificial breeding of crested ibises in China
C. Endangered crested ibises making a comeback
D Crested ibises found again in the Qinling Mountains
D
The view you adopt for yourself significantly affects the way you lead your life. It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value. How does this happen? How can a simple belief have the power to transform your psychology and, as a result, your life?
Believing that your qualities are carved in stone—the fixed mindset—creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age. Even as a child, I was focused on being smart, but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs. Wilson, my sixth-grade teacher. She believed that people’s IQ scores told the whole story of who they were. We were seated around the room in IQ order, and only the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework, or take a note to the principal. She was creating a mindset in which everyone in the class had one consuming goal—look smart, don’t look stupid.
I’ve seen so many people with this one consuming goal of proving themselves—in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships. Every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence, personality, or character. Every situation is evaluated: Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or stupid? Will I feel like a winner or a loser?
But doesn’t our society value intelligence, personality, and character? Isn’t it normal to want these qualities? Yes, but...
There’s another mindset, the growth mindset, which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way—in their inborn talents, interests, or characters—everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience. Did you know that Darwin and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children? That the photographer Cindy Sherman, who has been on almost every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century, failed her first photography course? That Geraldine Page, one of our greatest actresses, was advised to give it up for lack of talent?
You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion for learning. Why waste time proving how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide weaknesses instead of overcoming them? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you? The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even when it’s not going well, is the feature of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
32 What is the author’s attitude toward Mrs. Wilson’s way of teaching?
A. Unconcerned. B. Sceptical. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
33. According to Paragraph 5, the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that_____.
A. success has nothing to do with natural gifts
B. achievements can be gained through hard work
C. it’s difficult to predict one’s future success
D. one single outcome defines our ability
34. The author strongly believes that we should _____.
A. carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities
B. see success as a proof of intelligence or talent
C. focus on self-development rather than self-proving
D. believe good things will happen during difficult times
35. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. explain the differences between two mindsets
B. persuade people to adopt the right mindset
C. inform people of the influence of mindset
D. advise people to assess their mindset

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。
Is a moviegoer different than a movie-lover? I’d say so. You can love a movie by watching it at home. ____36____. I’ve spent a lot of time talking to people about movies. By listening to what they say, I can report they only share one thing in common: they go out.
I’ve thought about two views of the moviegoer lately.
The first view comes from Roland Barthes. Most often, his moviegoers don’t go to the movies for a distinct purpose. ____37____. They are bored. Once they get inside, they can’t help but sink into a relaxed state. When they leave the movie theater, these moviegoers don’t want to talk to anyone about the movie. ____38____. Barthes sees them as a lonely being, one who is introspective (自省的). I think some of us use movie theaters to retreat inside ourselves.
The second view comes from the Clark Theater manager, Bruce Trinz. When people go to the movies they go for a certain personal motive. They may want to forget something, or escape from the lives they are leading. Or they may want to see a film they liked years ago. ____39____, they are the hopeless addicts who, quite simply, like movies. The only thing I would challenge in this definition is the word hopeless. ____40____, but they come to the movies filled with hope. They may not be able to define what they hope to experience, but they will know it when they feel it.
A. Whatever motive they have
B. To be a moviegoer, you have to go out
C. The movie also puts them somewhere else
D. They are instead wrapped up in themselves
E. Because moviegoers go in search of beauty

Have you ever been so depressed that you can’t sleep? You also can’t eat. You can’t read. You have no friends to call up and nothing is good on TV. So you sigh, press your face down harder into your pillow, and shed a few tears.
This was my life two years ago. I had just turned 14 but already found life a struggle. As I lay in my bed one Saturday, Mom peeked (瞄) into my room to make her regular “Is Emily still alive” check. I knew that if I spent more time like this, she would begin dusting me. After suggesting a few things for me to do that I immediately rejected, Mom made her move, “Emily! Get dressed! I’m taking the dog out for a walk, and you’re coming with me!” “Why?” I protested. “Because it’ll make you feel better.”
The thought of moving was unbearable. I felt as if all of my body parts were weighed down by tons of bricks I couldn’t remember the last time I had gone outside. Somehow I found the strength to slip on a pair of jeans and a black sweatshirt. Mom was waiting at the door, leash (狗绳) in hand and dog at her side.
Then, we stepped outside. It was a warm March day and it had been a long time since the warmth of the sun had touched my cheeks. Mom led the dog and me down some dirt paths, through a big field and reached Halsey Pond. But the signs of spring had yet to appear and the scene was rather colorless throughout the entire journey.
“I’m tired! It’s boring, Mom! When can we go home?” “Not yet,” she’d say. Mom stopped to say hi to every jogger, dog walker, runner, and bicyclist who passed us. Sometimes she would get into a conversation. They would talk about weather, dogs, and all small talk topics. She seemed happy, and was literally glowing (容光焕发). After walking for what seemed an age, Mom finally said it was time to go back.
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。
Paragraph 1: When I got home, a new feeling seemed to be awakened.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A Break in Llandudno, Wales
A Victorian favourite once billed as the “Queen of Welsh resorts”, Llandudno has kept much of the charm (魅力) that made it so popular. The walking path around Llandudno Bay, the smell of fish and chips moving in the air, and old-fashioned amusements all combine to deliver a typical British seaside break. And a stay in Llandudno can be combined with a trip to Conwy, which has an impressive castle and Britain’s smallest house.
Where to eat
Dylan’s, on Llandudno’s East Parade, is set in a Grade Ⅱ-listed building and offers sea views plus a menu starring local produce. Dishes might include Welsh lamb tacos and Conwy pork. Its attached shop has a range of award-winning Welsh sauces and preserves to take home.
Where to stay
Set in a Grade I-listed 17th-century country house, Bodysgallen Hall is one of only three National Trust-owned hotels. It has views of Conwy Castle. Guests can tour the grounds with the head gardener. From £260 per night.
What we like
A half-hour drive or train ride away, the picture-perfect market town of Llanrwst has an impressive three-arched (拱形的) bridge across the River Conwy. Take a walk and drop by a wine shop and restaurant Amser Da. Highlights include Welsh cheeses and Anglesey sea salt.
Don’t miss
A 20-minute drive from Llandudno, the National Bodnant Garden has Italian-style rose terraces (梯田). The step-free Rose Walk takes in key parts of the garden, such as Waterfall Bridge and Old Mill, set against the backdrop of the Eryri foothills.
21. What can you see in Conwy?
A. A splendid castle. B. Britain’s oldest house.
C. A queen’s residence. D. Italian-style rose terraces.

In early 2018, I was training for the London Marathon—the first and only marathon I would ever run in my life. I had treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end of my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.
It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it? The point was to be better.
In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing.
What has become very clear to me since I quit tracking my runs is that I genuinely love doing them. I run around my local park with a silly little smile on my face. I love it so much. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face.
I am better. Or sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m slowly plodding along, and that’s good enough.
24. The author cried after the final training run because she ________.
A. had to stop working out B. became physically worn out
C. lost the data on the watch D. felt a sharp pain in the legs
25. The author used to view exercise tracking as ________.
A. a fun hobby for enjoyment B. a strong need for recognition
C. a method of escaping punishment D. a way of being a better runner
26. What does “being better” mean to the author now?
A. Getting pleasure out of winning races. B. Being more focused on her life goal.
C. Freeing herself from demanding tasks. D. Improving her overall well-being.
27. What can we conclude from this passage?
A. Adjustment brings happiness. B. Passion is the key to success.
C. Sports contribute to happiness. D. Success equals self-improvement.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者曾经执着于通过运动跟踪数据来让自己变得更好,但这也导致作者变得不再快乐,于是作者删除了手表上的运动数据,开始专注于跑步时的感受,如今作者感到更加快乐了。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“At the end of my final training run—an exhausting 21 miles (34km) —I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared for ever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.(在最后一次训练结束时——一段令人筋疲力尽的21英里(34公里)长跑——我一回到家就一头倒在地上,结果发现手表坏了。21英里在屏幕上闪了一下,然后就消失了,永远消失了。我痛苦地尖叫起来。我在客厅地板上哭泣的悲惨画面基本上概括了我与运动追踪技术的关系)”可知,作者在最后一次训练后哭了,因为她丢失了手表上的数据。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It can be a total joy to watch your data change on running apps as you get stronger and faster. I once got a kick out of it, but at some point it became a stick I used to punish myself. I would watch my pace, compare it with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized exercise tracking as a problem. It seemed to me that tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to improve, wasn’t it? The point was to be better. (当你变得更强壮、更快时,看着你的数据在运行的应用程序上发生变化,这可能是一种完全的快乐。我曾经很喜欢它,但在某种程度上,它成了我用来惩罚自己的棍子。我会观察自己的速度,和别人比较,或者批评自己没有快30秒。我从未真正意识到运动追踪是个问题。在我看来,跟踪是自我提升的途径,而重点是提高,不是吗?关键是要变得更好)”可知,作者曾将运动跟踪视为成为更好的跑步者的一种方式。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Things I notice about my runs now include: how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards-clear and focused. I notice dogs, the smell of the wild plants along the canal and the sunshine (OK, wind and rain) on my face.(我现在跑步时注意到的事情包括:我的腿感觉如何,以及跑步后我的思维感觉如何——清晰而专注。我注意到狗,运河边野生植物的气味和我脸上的阳光(好吧,风雨))”可知,“变得更好”现在对作者来说意味着改善她的整体幸福感。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并根据第四段“In the past year, the concept of “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things that were once easy such as brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy in a day. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what in my life made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and simply deleted years’ worth of data that was once very important to me and now meant nothing.(在过去的一年里,“变得更好”的概念有了不同的含义。我的心理健康状况下降了,以前很容易的事情,比如刷牙,变得难以想象地困难。变得更好不再意味着变得更快或更强。这意味着要照顾好自己,在一天中感受一些快乐。一旦我开始好转,我就会反思生活中什么让我快乐,什么让我不快乐。所以,我不再跟踪我的跑步,只是删除了多年来对我非常重要的数据,而现在这些数据对我来说毫无意义)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者曾经执着于通过运动跟踪数据来让自己变得更好,但这也导致作者变得不再快乐,于是作者删除了手表上的运动数据,开始专注于跑步时的感受,如今作者感到更加快乐了。由此推知,我们可从文章得知调整带来快乐。故选A。
C
From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises(朱鹗)from the edge of extinction.
With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as “the oriental gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south,the last shelter of the wild birds.
Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas,cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding(繁殖)areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds' living areas.China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and had bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi as of last year.
Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.
“It is lucky that the crested ibis an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life, but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”
28. Why are the Qinling Mountains so important to crested ibises?
A. They are where crested ibises were first found.
B. They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.
C. They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.
D. They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.
29. What can we conclude from paragraph 4?
A. Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.
B. It's legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.
C. Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.
D. The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.
30. How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises?
A. Merciful and ambitious. B. Relieved and happy.
C. Shocked and curious. D. Sorry and regretful.
31. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Rare animals in China: crested ibises
B. Artificial breeding of crested ibises in China
C. Endangered crested ibises making a comeback
D. Crested ibises found again in the Qinling Mountains
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了中国在近40年的努力下,成功将朱鹗这一濒临灭绝的物种从全球仅剩的7只增加到超过5000只。朱鹗的保护不仅展示了古老生物的力量,也显示了生态环境保护的必要性和紧迫性。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China's north and south,the last shelter of the wild birds.(1981年,全世界的朱鹮只剩下7只,这些朱鹮只在中国西北陕西省阳县和秦岭深处发现,作为中国南北自然分界线的秦岭成为了野生朱鹮最后的避难所。)”可知,之所以秦岭对朱鹮来说是重要的,是因为这里曾经是朱鹮最后的栖息地。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas,cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding(繁殖)areas. (自1981年以来,阳县当地政府提出了四项保护物种的禁令,禁止在鸟类的生活区狩猎,砍伐它们筑巢的树木,在它们寻找食物的区域使用化学物质,以及在它们的繁殖区开枪。)”可知,本段介绍的是政府针对于保护野生动物提出的相应保护政策和措施,即政府在拯救朱鹮方面起着关键作用。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen(“幸运的是,朱鹮这种古老的鸟类还在飞来飞去,”赞林森说。)”可知,赞林森认为,很幸运能够看到这种古老的鸟儿还能飞来飞去,这是保护朱鹮取得的成果,因此推断这让赞林森感到高兴和宽慰。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises(朱鹗)from the edge of extinction.(从世界上最后的7只到全球5000多只,中国花了近40年的时间将朱鹮从灭绝的边缘救了回来。)”以及倒数第二段中“Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and a majority of them live in Shaanxi. The bird's habitat in China has risen from less than 5 square km in 1981 to the current 15,000 square km.(多年来的不懈努力取得了可喜的成果。据估计,目前世界上有5000多只朱鹮,其中大部分生活在陕西。这种鸟在中国的栖息地从1981年的不到5平方公里增加到现在的1.5万平方公里。)”可知,文章介绍的是这篇文章主要讲述了中国在近40年的努力下,成功将朱鹗这一濒临灭绝的物种从全球仅剩的7只增加到超过5000只。中国自1991年开始人工繁育朱鹗,截至去年已在陕西繁育了400多只。多年的努力带来了显著成果。C选项“Endangered crested ibises making a comeback(濒危朱鹮不断回归)”概括文章主要内容,为最佳标题。故选C。
D
The view you adopt for yourself significantly affects the way you lead your life. It can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value. How does this happen? How can a simple belief have the power to transform your psychology and, as a result, your life?
Believing that your qualities are carved in stone—the fixed mindset—creates an urgency to prove yourself over and over. Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age. Even as a child, I was focused on being smart, but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs. Wilson, my sixth-grade teacher. She believed that people’s IQ scores told the whole story of who they were. We were seated around the room in IQ order, and only the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework, or take a note to the principal. She was creating a mindset in which everyone in the class had one consuming goal—look smart, don’t look stupid.
I’ve seen so many people with this one consuming goal of proving themselves—in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships. Every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence, personality, or character. Every situation is evaluated: Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or stupid? Will I feel like a winner or a loser?
But doesn’t our society value intelligence, personality, and character? Isn’t it normal to want these qualities? Yes, but...
There’s another mindset, the growth mindset, which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can develop through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way—in their inborn talents, interests, or characters—everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience. Did you know that Darwin and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children? That the photographer Cindy Sherman, who has been on almost every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century, failed her first photography course? That Geraldine Page, one of our greatest actresses, was advised to give it up for lack of talent?
You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion for learning. Why waste time proving how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide weaknesses instead of overcoming them? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you? The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even when it’s not going well, is the feature of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
32. What is the author’s attitude toward Mrs. Wilson’s way of teaching?
A. Unconcerned. B. Sceptical. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
33. According to Paragraph 5, the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that_____.
A. success has nothing to do with natural gifts
B. achievements can be gained through hard work
C. it’s difficult to predict one’s future success
D. one single outcome defines our ability
34. The author strongly believes that we should _____.
A. carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities
B. see success as a proof of intelligence or talent
C. focus on self-development rather than self-proving
D. believe good things will happen during difficult times
35. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. explain the differences between two mindsets
B. persuade people to adopt the right mindset
C. inform people of the influence of mindset
D. advise people to assess their mindset
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者首先通过反面论证来说明智力、个性、性格在生活的方方面面固然重要,但是另一种心态——成长心态——基于这样一种观念,你的基本素质是可以通过努力培养出来的。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段和第三段的Every situation calls for a confirmation of their intelligence, …Will I feel like a winner or a loser?以及第四段的But doesn’t our society value intelligence, personality, and character? Isn’t it normal to want these qualities? Yes, but...可知作者对这种按照智力去给学生贴上标签的教学方法是不赞同的,故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience.可知作者引Darwin和Tolstoy的例子想去证明每个人都可以通过努力和经历改变和成长。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段的I’ve seen so many people with this one consuming goal of proving themselves—in the classroom, in their careers, and in their relationships.以及第五段的everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience.可见作者认为智力、个性和性格是证明自己的必要手段,但是每个人都可以通过努力和经历改变和成长,故作者认为我们应该注意自我发展而不是自我证明,故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it…This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives. 即使事情进展不顺,也是成长心态的特点。这是一种心态,让人们在生活中最具挑战性的时候获得成功。由此可以推知,作者想通过本文劝说人们要采取正确心态面对生活。故选B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。
Is a moviegoer different than a movie-lover? I’d say so. You can love a movie by watching it at home. ____36____. I’ve spent a lot of time talking to people about movies. By listening to what they say, I can report they only share one thing in common: they go out.
I’ve thought about two views of the moviegoer lately.
The first view comes from Roland Barthes. Most often, his moviegoers don’t go to the movies for a distinct purpose. ____37____. They are bored. Once they get inside, they can’t help but sink into a relaxed state. When they leave the movie theater, these moviegoers don’t want to talk to anyone about the movie. ____38____. Barthes sees them as a lonely being, one who is introspective (自省的). I think some of us use movie theaters to retreat inside ourselves.
The second view comes from the Clark Theater manager, Bruce Trinz. When people go to the movies they go for a certain personal motive. They may want to forget something, or escape from the lives they are leading. Or they may want to see a film they liked years ago. ____39____, they are the hopeless addicts who, quite simply, like movies. The only thing I would challenge in this definition is the word hopeless. ____40____, but they come to the movies filled with hope. They may not be able to define what they hope to experience, but they will know it when they feel it.
A. Whatever motive they have
B. To be a moviegoer, you have to go out
C. The movie also puts them somewhere else
D. They are instead wrapped up in themselves
E. Because moviegoers go in search of beauty
F. Moviegoers may be hopelessly addicted to the movies
G. It’s something to do with a response to leisure, free time

【57题详解】

【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:《兰亭序》是王羲之创作于东晋(317-420)的中国书法精品之一。分析句子可知, one of 后应加名词复数形式。故填masterpieces。

67. 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。
Have you ever been so depressed that you can’t sleep? You also can’t eat. You can’t read. You have no friends to call up and nothing is good on TV. So you sigh, press your face down harder into your pillow, and shed a few tears.
This was my life two years ago. I had just turned 14 but already found life a struggle. As I lay in my bed one Saturday, Mom peeked (瞄) into my room to make her regular “Is Emily still alive” check. I knew that if I spent more time like this, she would begin dusting me. After suggesting a few things for me to do that I immediately rejected, Mom made her move, “Emily! Get dressed! I’m taking the dog out for a walk, and you’re coming with me!” “Why?” I protested. “Because it’ll make you feel better.”
The thought of moving was unbearable. I felt as if all of my body parts were weighed down by tons of bricks I couldn’t remember the last time I had gone outside. Somehow I found the strength to slip on a pair of jeans and a black sweatshirt. Mom was waiting at the door, leash (狗绳) in hand and dog at her side.
Then, we stepped outside. It was a warm March day and it had been a long time since the warmth of the sun had touched my cheeks. Mom led the dog and me down some dirt paths, through a big field and reached Halsey Pond. But the signs of spring had yet to appear and the scene was rather colorless throughout the entire journey.
“I’m tired! It’s boring, Mom! When can we go home?” “Not yet,” she’d say. Mom stopped to say hi to every jogger, dog walker, runner, and bicyclist who passed us. Sometimes she would get into a conversation. They would talk about weather, dogs, and all small talk topics. She seemed happy, and was literally glowing (容光焕发). After walking for what seemed an age, Mom finally said it was time to go back.
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。
Paragraph 1: When I got home, a new feeling seemed to be awakened.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: A new Saturday found me asking Mom if I could take the dog out.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
When I got home, a new feeling seemed to be awakened. The heaviness that had weighed me down before seemed to have lifted, if only slightly. The simple act of being outside, feeling the warmth of the sun, and hearing the chirping of birds had sparked something inside me. It was a glimmer of hope, a tiny ray of light in the darkness of my depression. I realized that maybe, just maybe, there was still something worth living for.
Paragraph 2:
A new Saturday found me asking Mom if I could take the dog out. This time, it was me who suggested the walk. As we strolled through the familiar paths, I noticed the subtle changes in the scenery. The trees were starting to bud, flowers were beginning to bloom, and the pond was alive with the sounds of frogs and insects. It was as if nature itself was coming alive, mirroring the newfound sense of life stirring within me. With each step, I felt a little lighter, a little more alive. And as we returned home, I realized that sometimes, the simplest moments can have the most profound impact on our lives.
