B Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs. But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.” Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38. “I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym. And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics. For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.” 4. What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2? A. He once was an excellent basketball player. B. He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning. C. He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled. D. He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it. 5. How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon? A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Nervous. 6. Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin? A. Easy-going and reliable. B. Kind-hearted and helpful. C. Open-minded and creative. D. Strong-willed and ambitious. 7. What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph? A. Stick to your dreams. B. Break down your goals. C. Focus on your strengths. D. Achieve success at all costs. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了罗姆·雷金（Rome Leykin）在一次意外事故中失去双腿后，通过手动脚踏车运动重新找到了对运动的热情，并开始参加手动自行车比赛和马拉松比赛。他坚定地训练自己，希望能够完成世界六大马拉松赛事，甚至进入残奥会。他希望人们从他的故事中学到：面对问题要专注于积极的一面，将大问题拆分为小的解决方案，从小胜利中获得成长。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.”(“当我看到它的时候，我就想，‘哦，这太棒了。你甚至不需要腿就能使用它。这是完美的。’”他说。“所以，我骑上了它，马上就爱上了它。”)”可知，他一看到手动自行车就表现出了兴趣。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym.(他对训练作出了重大承诺。他每周骑几次自行车至少13.1英里，并花很多时间在健身房。)”可知，他对即将到来的比赛，做了大量的准备和训练，因此是信心满满的。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour. a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38.(在几个月内，他完成了TD五Boro自行车之旅。在纽约市骑行40英里之后，他在2021年参加了自己的第一次马拉松比赛。他以2小时11分钟的成绩完成了比赛，在38名选手中排名第12。)”以及倒数第二段中“He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics.(他想完成雅培六场马拉松赛——世界上最大的六场马拉松赛。他说，有一天，他甚至可能参加残奥会。)”可知，Rome Leykin不仅身残志坚，而且还积极准备参加更多的比赛。由此体现出他是意志坚强和有着远大抱负的人。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.(同时，把你的大问题分解成小的解决方案。然后突然之间，你的大问题变成了许多小胜利。)”可知，Rome Leykin认为在实现目标过程中，面对问题要专注于积极的一面，将大问题拆分为小的解决方案，从小胜利中获得成长。B选项“Break down your goals.(拆分你的目标)”符合文章信息。故选B。 C It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods. “Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression. Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000. Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change. Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.” 8. What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1? A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam. B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery. C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods. D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods. 9. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2? A. They run out of energy and are very tired. B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound. C. They are completely saddened and shocked. D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland. 10. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives? A. The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall. C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment. 11. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna? A. Addressing mental problems. B. Providing immediate medical care. C. Conducting climate change research. D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了德尔纳遭遇特大洪水，造成上万人死亡，以及引起洪水的原因和国际救援队伍正在提供救助。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.(当和家人住在利比亚东部德尔纳山区的英语教师艾达·布耶尔丹(Ehdaa Bujeldain)听到一声巨响，听起来像是爆炸声时，下着前所未有的雨。后来，他们得知德尔纳的一座水坝在流水的压力下倒塌了。在接下来的四天里，他们没有电，也没有网络，直到最近，他们才开始完全了解洪水造成的破坏)”可推知，四天里，他们没有电，也没有网络和外界断开了联系，所以几天来，他们没有完全认识到洪水的严重性。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone.(半个城市被毁了。我妈妈的亲戚，我的朋友，我的同事——他们都不在了)”以及后文“whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.(从她茫然的表情可以很容易地看出她的悲伤)”可知，布耶尔丹因为洪水失去了亲戚，朋友和同事，非常的悲伤，所以她说“just ghosts in shells”表达他们完全感到悲伤和震惊。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling”(令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.(德尔纳是一座沿海城市，有一条季节性河流叫做德尔纳河。尽管下着异常的大雨，但在那个可怕的早晨，洪水涌来之前，住在河边的人们几乎没有得到任何预警。联合国救援组织负责人马丁·格里菲斯称这次洪水的规模“令人震惊”，并将洪水部分归咎于突如其来的气候变化)”可知，因为没有任何预警，下着异常的大雨以及突如其来的气候变化导致了生命的流逝，文中没有提到对环境的破坏的因素。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.”(救援小组的医生塔霍尼警告说，最困难的几周还在后面。“一场灾难过去了，另一场灾难还在后头，”他说。“成千上万失去一切的人现在需要安慰，需要陪伴，需要心理支持。”)”可知，对救援小组来说最难的是安慰幸存者，所以他们的重点可能是解决心理问题。故选A项。 D Have you ever wondered why other people don’t see things the same way you do? Isn’t it confusing that you don’t necessarily share the same viewpoints even when you come from the same family? Why can’t they just see it my way? The scientific explanation comes from cognitive (认知的) psychology; it’s a mental process known as information processing. From a psychological perspective (角度), you have your own values, memories, and quality of emotion. With every event you experience, the information comes in and is filtered (过滤) through your emotions, memories, and values. How you “see” yourself, others, and the world you live in will be influenced by what you’ve experienced or believe to be true. In other words, you don’t see things as they are - you see things as you are. You have a process for filtering information and it may seem a bit strange to you, especially when others don’t agree with the same beliefs, thoughts, and opinions. What if you considered, even for just a moment, that what you are seeing is only one possibility - and that there are several other ways to understand a situation? In every walk of life, you find yourself stand up for what you believe in, arguing for how you member something that happened, and trying to influence others to see things your way. But what if you’re missing the important point that your differences are what make life colorful? Those differences are what stimulate (促进) your mind and emotions. Without differences, life would be dull. There would be no “aha” moment if you knew everything. There would be no inspiration (灵感) in the form of art, music, poetry, style, or communication. There will be times in your life when you might have to set limits with other people and, at the end of the day, you want to feel understood and appreciated. Learning to honor your viewpoints, while others have their own is important in a world where everyone is different. 12. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text to play a role in information processing? A Experiences. B. Personalities. C. Memory. D. Emotions. 13. What does the author suggest you do when there are different opinions? A. Insist on your own beliefs and values. B. Ignore what things actually are. C. Listen to and follow others’ opinion completely. D. Respect both your and others’ opinions. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards differences among people? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Confused. D. Surprised. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Why Nobody Understands You? B. How Come You Are So Unique? C. Who is Responsible for Disagreement? D. What Makes You Think You’re Right? 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了为什么每个人看待事情的方式不同，并指出正是由于人与人之间的不同才让生活丰富多彩。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With every event you experience, the information comes in and is filtered (过滤) through your emotions, memories, and values. How you “see” yourself, others, and the world you live in will be influenced by what you’ve experienced or believe to be true. (随着你经历的每一件事，信息进入并通过你的情感、记忆和价值观过滤。你如何“看待”自己、他人和你所生活的世界将受到你所经历或相信的真实的影响。)” 可知，在信息加工过程中，情绪、记忆和经历在处理信息时起作用，没有提到个性特征。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Learning to honor your viewpoints, while others have their own is important in a world where everyone is different. (学会尊重自己的观点，而其他人有他们自己的观点，这在一个每个人都不同的世界里很重要。)” 可知，作者认为，在一个每个人都不同的世界里，学会尊重自己的观点，而其他人有他们自己的观点是至关重要，由此可推断，当出现意见分歧时，作者建议尊重你和他人的意见。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Those differences are what stimulate (促进) your mind and emotions. Without differences, life would be dull. There would be no “aha” moment if you knew everything. There would be no inspiration (灵感) in the form of art, music, poetry, style, or communication. (这些差异刺激了你的思想和情感。没有差异，生活就会变得枯燥乏味。如果你知道一切，就不会有“啊哈”的时刻。在艺术、音乐、诗歌、风格或交流方面没有灵感。)”可知，作者认为差异使生活丰富多彩，没有差异，生活会很单调，由此推知，作者对于个体差异持积极态度。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Have you ever wondered why other people don’t see things the same way you do? Isn’t it confusing that you don’t necessarily share the same viewpoints even when you come from the same family? Why can’t they just see it my way? (你有没有想过为什么其他人看待事物的方式和你不一样？即使你们来自同一个家庭，你们也不一定有相同的观点，这难道不令人困惑吗？为什么他们不能从我的角度看问题？)”可知，本文开头通过提出一系列问题来引出文章主题——为什么别人和你的想法不同？结合下文中作者对此作出的解释并最后指出正是由于人与人之间的差异才让生活丰富多彩，由此可知， 本文主要讨论的是什么才让生活丰富多彩，所以题目“是什么让你认为自己是对的?”讲述的内容与本文内容一致，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节 7选5（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。 Goals give our lives meaning and help us become better versions of ourselves. ____16____ Have you started working towards your goal but over time felt that it’s just too high a mountain to climb? As humans, we are built to naturally see the problems and easily punish ourselves for bad behavior. Our mindset can bring us down when we feel we’ve failed. ____17____ So what is the secret to achieving big goals? Many people may put the success of others down to luck or a natural talent. ____18____ Most of the time it is down to a particular mindset and the way of looking at their goals as a whole. ____19____ It took Edison almost 10,000 attempts to create a light bulb — that’s a huge number of “failures”. But in response to his repeated failures, he said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”. It’s quite clear that he had a mindset and a positive perspective that allowed him to celebrate those small steps and see them as achievements. The key to success is realizing that our big goals aren’t going to happen overnight. ____20____ It is the combination of those small things over time that leads to the achievement of the big goals. A. Yes, this can be the case, but not always. B. We all want to be successful in our goals. C. Take Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb for example. D. This usually results in giving up on dreams and goals. E. We tend to focus on the end goals rather than the small steps. F. We must invest in the small things over a long period of time. G. But have you ever tried to reach a big goal only to eventually give up? 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是实现目标的秘诀。 【16题详解】 空前说“Goals give our lives meaning and help us become better versions of ourselves.(目标让我们的生活有意义，帮助我们成为更好的自己)”，空格处应说“所以我们才会希望实现目标”，B选项“We all want to be successful in our goals.(我们都希望实现自己的目标)”承接上文内容，说明了我们希望实现目标，因此B选项承接上文，符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 空前说“As humans, we are built to naturally see the problems and easily punish ourselves for bad behavior. Our mindset can bring us down when we feel we’ve failed.(作为人类，我们天生就能看到问题，很容易就会因为不良行为而惩罚自己。当我们感到失败时，我们的心态会让我们沮丧)”，D选项“This usually results in giving up on dreams and goals.(这通常会导致放弃梦想和目标)”说明了我们不好的心态所导致的结果，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 【18题详解】 空前说“Many people may put the success of others down to luck or a natural talent.(许多人可能把别人的成功归结为运气或天赋)”，空后说“Most of the time it is down to a particular mindset and the way of looking at their goals as a whole.(大多数情况下，这取决于一种特定的心态和看待他们整体目标的方式)”，说明成功并不总是因为运气或天赋，A选项“Yes, this can be the case, but not always.(是的，情况可能是这样，但并不总是这样)”说明了有时成功是因为运气或天赋，但并不总是这样的，因此A选项承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 空后说“It took Edison almost 10,000 attempts to create a light bulb — that’s a huge number of “failures”.(爱迪生尝试了近1万次才创造出一个灯泡——这是非常多的“失败”)”，因此本段是举了爱迪生这个例子，C选项“Take Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb for example.(以发明灯泡的托马斯·爱迪生为例)”引出了爱迪生这个例子，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 空后说“It is the combination of those small things over time that leads to the achievement of the big goals.(长期以来这些小事情的结合导致了大目标的实现)”，F选项“We must invest in the small things over a long period of time.(我们必须在小事情上长期投资)”中的“small things”和后面的“those small things”是短语复现，其中的“over a long period of time”和前面的“aren’t going to happen overnight”相呼应，说明了我们要从小事做起，坚持下去，就能实现目标，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境，故选F。 第二部分 语言知识运用（共30分） 第一节 完型填空（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和D四个选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, my son Ryan said, ‌“I’m going to keep working until everyone in Africa has clean water.” I thought, oh, boy!

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。瑞恩有一个梦想，那就是要让非洲的孩子们喝上干净的水，而这在当初的我看来是不可能的，但瑞恩凭借着坚持不懈的努力最终梦想成真，这也让我见证了梦想的力量是多么伟大。 【21题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但我听说过鼓励孩子们要自信，要有远大的梦想。A. free免费的；B. confident自信的；C. friendly友好的；D. curious好奇的。根据空前的“But I’d heard about encouraging children to be”以及空后“and dream big dreams.

B Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs. But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.” Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38. “I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym. And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics. For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.” 4. What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2? A He once was an excellent basketball player. B. He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning. C. He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled. D. He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it. 5. How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon? A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Nervous. 6. Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin? A. Easy-going and reliable. B. Kind-hearted and helpful. C. Open-minded and creative. D. Strong-willed and ambitious. 7. What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph? A. Stick to your dreams. B. Break down your goals. C. Focus on your strengths. D. Achieve success at all costs. C It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods. “Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression. Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000. Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change. Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.” 8. What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1? A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam. B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery. C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods. D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods. 9. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2? A. They run out of energy and are very tired. B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound. C. They are completely saddened and shocked. D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland. 10. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives? A. The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall. C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment. 11. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna? A. Addressing mental problems. B. Providing immediate medical care. C. Conducting climate change research. D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources. D Have you ever wondered why other people don’t see things the same way you do? Isn’t it confusing that you don’t necessarily share the same viewpoints even when you come from the same family? Why can’t they just see it my way? The scientific explanation comes from cognitive (认知的) psychology; it’s a mental process known as information processing. From a psychological perspective (角度), you have your own values, memories, and quality of emotion. With every event you experience, the information comes in and is filtered (过滤) through your emotions, memories, and values. How you “see” yourself, others, and the world you live in will be influenced by what you’ve experienced or believe to be true. In other words, you don’t see things as they are - you see things as you are. You have a process for filtering information and it may seem a bit strange to you, especially when others don’t agree with the same beliefs, thoughts, and opinions. What if you considered, even for just a moment, that what you are seeing is only one possibility - and that there are several other ways to understand a situation? In every walk of life, you find yourself stand up for what you believe in, arguing for how you member something that happened, and trying to influence others to see things your way. But what if you’re missing the important point that your differences are what make life colorful? Those differences are what stimulate (促进) your mind and emotions. Without differences, life would be dull. There would be no “aha” moment if you knew everything. There would be no inspiration (灵感) in the form of art, music, poetry, style, or communication. There will be times in your life when you might have to set limits with other people and, at the end of the day, you want to feel understood and appreciated. Learning to honor your viewpoints, while others have their own is important in a world where everyone is different. 12. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text to play a role in information processing? A. Experiences. B. Personalities. C. Memory. D. Emotions. 13. What does the author suggest you do when there are different opinions? A. Insist on your own beliefs and values. B. Ignore what things actually are. C. Listen to and follow others’ opinion completely. D. Respect both your and others’ opinions. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards differences among people? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Confused. D. Surprised. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Why Nobody Understands You? B. How Come You Are So Unique? C. Who is Responsible for Disagreement? D. What Makes You Think You’re Right? 第二节 7选5（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。 Goals give our lives meaning and help us become better versions of ourselves. ____16____ Have you started working towards your goal but over time felt that it’s just too high a mountain to climb?
