Ludwig van Beethoven was born over 250 years ago. His music is still played daily around the world. His melodies(乐曲) are often used in movies, TV shows, and even cartoons. Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, but he’s probably best known for his nine symphonies(交响曲). When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for the 10th Symphony. But all that he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches”- short bits of written music.
In 2019, a special team of musicians, computer scientists, and historians was formed. Their goal was to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The team didn’t just want to complete the symphony; they wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. That’s where deep learning came in.
To train artificial intelligence(AI) to help with the symphony, the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand. By feeding the program all of Beethoven’s music, AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. This included, for example, how he reused simple melodies all through a piece to create a theme, or how he moved between different parts of the symphony.
Other members of the team studied Beethoven’s notes and sketches, and worked to figure out what Beethoven was planning to do. Where in the symphony did he plan to use each little bit of music that he left?
Finally, AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony. It took over two years, but the team was able to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony. Not simply a melody, but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra(管弦乐队). So Beethoven now has the 10th Symphony. And though Beethoven didn’t write it all, the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written, if he’d had the chance.
4. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce Beethoven’s music career.
B. To highlight Beethoven’s achievements.
C. To provide background information.
D. To bring back Beethoven’s last symphony.
5. How can AI help to finish the 10th Symphony?
A. By studying Beethoven’s other symphonies.
B. By collecting all of Beethoven’s music.
C. By identifying Beethoven’s notes and sketches.
D. By finding the musical patterns of Beethoven.
6. What do we know about Beethoven’s 10th Symphony?
A. It is suitable to be played by an orchestra.
B. It requires at least 40 players to play.
C. It has to be tested by Beethoven experts.
D. It is a long piece of music without any theme.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Revival of Beethoven’s Symphonies by AI
B. Rewriting of Beethoven’s 10th Symphony
C. Performance of Beethoven’s 10th Symphony by AI
D. Completion of Beethoven’s 10th Symphony with AI’s Help
C
Chinese linen, or xiabu-literally “cloth for summer”-is a traditional handmade textile made from China grass, also known as ramie. Being hailed as the “king of natural fibers”, the linen has unique properties such as wear-comfort, good durability and good rinsibility (可漂洗性). It’s also delicate, yet not as fragile as silk.
A variety of xiabu was developed in what is now Chongqing’s Rongchang district during the Han Dynasty. Royals and nobility during the Tang Dynasty liked wearing the linen during the summer months. It was one of the first products to be exported from the district in the 20th century, with an annual output of around 700,000 bolts (匹). In 2008, Rongchang xiabu craft was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.
According to the district’s commission of commerce, the annual demand for xiabu in the international market reaches around three million bolts, of which 40 percent are sold to the Republic of Korea. Over the past three years, 13 xiabu manufacturing companies in Rongchang have exported goods worth more than 50 billion yuan.
“It takes more than 10 procedures-including ramie fiber reaping, thread twisting, weaving, bleaching (漂白) and dyeing-over a period of about 20 days to make a piece of ramie cloth,” said 37-year-old Ma Linqin, a municipal-level inheritor of Rongchang xiabu craftsmanship.
To produce a fine cloth a xiabu craftsperson has to weave thread up and down over 2,400 times on a 1.5-inch-wide loom (织布机), with both hands and feet working in smooth coordination. This is the most important and intricate part of the whole process. “Although it’s time-consuming and labor-intensive, we need to recognize that xiabu is a long-term necessity in the marketplace,” Ma said.
According to the local cultural and tourism commission, Rongchang xiabu has been made into more than 1,000 products, including dresses, suits, decorative paintings, embroidery, bedding, tablecloths, towels and bags. “Our products are especially favored by those who pursue a higher quality of life, and the consumer group is becoming increasingly younger. Sustaining intangible cultural heritages requires responsibility and perseverance,” Ma said.
8. What information can we get about xiabu?
A. It has a lot in common with silk.
B. It is made into clothes for all seasons.
C. It is a traditional machine-made textile.
D. It is comfortable to wear and easy to wash.
9. What can we learn about the market demand for xiabu?
A. It is expected to become greater.
B. It is limited to specific regions in Asia.
C. It is going beyond the supply largely.
D. It is declining due to the popularity of other fibers.
10. What does the underlined word “intricate” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Smooth. B. Efficient. C. Complex. D. Creative.
11. What can we infer from Ma Linqin’s words from the last paragraph?
A. Xiabu craftsmen are highly respected.
B. Xiabu is well recognized by the market.
C. The high prices of xiabu products are reasonable.
D. Young people are encouraged to learn xiabu craft.
D
Adrenaline (肾上腺素), also known as epinephrine, is a type of hormone that is released whenever a person experiences fear, anxiety, or stress.
In fact, as soon as your brain senses danger, it tells your body to start making adrenaline. The hormone moves through your bloodstream quickly and jumps into action by binding itself to molecules called adrenoceptors, which can be found in cells in almost every organ. When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once — more than 10 times higher than when you’ re calm — it’s called an adrenaline rush.
That flood has lots of noticeable effects, and each one is intended to protect you in a dangerous situation. Your pupils (瞳孔) will widen to let more light into your eyes so that you can see more of your surroundings. Your brain begins to work faster to draw up a plan. Your heart beats more rapidly and pumps extra blood to your muscles, also delivering an increase of oxygen from your lungs. All of these effects accumulate into nervous, anxious feelings. That’s why it might seem as if your head is spinning, your thoughts are racing, or your heart is beating out of your chest.
Despite what superhero stories might tell you, there’s not much evidence that the hormone gives you extra strength. Instead, experts think that great achievements-like a parent lifting a car off a trapped kid-happen when some kind of psychological switch gets flipped (按动). That is, unless you’re under serious pressure, you might underestimate what your body is really capable of.
In general, adrenaline rushes have prepared animals for stressful situations for millions of years. The glands (腺) that produce the stimulating chemical are found in any species with a backbone. Even dinosaurs likely had the stimulating stuff pumping through their veins (静脉). Early people like Homo erectus and Homo habilis probably felt fear and nervousness as they wandered through the prehistoric jungles. When a pop quiz makes you sweaty today, you feel the same tension that helped your ancestors 10,000 generations ago defeat fierce lions.
12. What can be learned concerning an “adrenaline rush”?
A. It controls the level of the hormone.
B. It makes passive feelings disappear.
C. It leads humans to feel energetic.
D. It results from a stressful situation.
13. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By explaining concepts. B. By providing exact data.
C. By describing details. D. By making comparisons.
14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Adrenaline gives extra strength like in superhero tales.
B. Great achievements are due to psychological switch, not adrenaline.
C. A parent lifting a car off a trapped child is impossible without adrenaline.
D. Adrenaline rushes have only been important for animals recently.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to the role of “adrenaline rushes”?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Feeling some anxiety is part of the human experience and helps us challenge dangers and obstacles. But if it affects us so much that we are limited and avoidant, we know that certain habits we have allowed to develop aren’t serving us. ____16____
Reject uncomfortable feelings
The modern world takes feelings far too seriously. ____17____ We feel nervous or bored, and our immediate impulse is to get out of there fast. This resistance to our own feelings emphasizes those feelings, making us more anxious. The solution? Be okay with not always feeling great.
Allow processed food to make up more than 20% of our diet
Anything refined, processed, and far-removed from its natural state promotes an imbalance in our bodies. ____18____ We’re more likely to experience what feels like anxiety if we’ re out of equilibrium.
____19____
When we think certain things repeatedly, we reinforce those things and create our realities.

When we challenge this belief, we see it isn’t true and realize a deeper sense of personal security.
Think about “anxiety” often
____20____ Yes, the irony (讽刺) is notable. When we regularly think about our “mental health” and how there appears to be something wrong that needs fixing, we inadvertently (不经意地) give weight to anxiety. We make it part of who we think we are. Instead of frequently thinking about you and “your anxiety”, focus on creating things and living your life

B. People are concerned about their mental health.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Guitar virtuoso(能手) Grace Bowers is a typical 17-year-old girl who loves kicking around Nashville in her Jeep with her dogs Lenny and Geroge on pretty days. Her innocent giggles in no way signal what happens when Bowers picks up a guitar.
Bowers first had a guitar at age 9 after she watched the music video for “Welcome to the Jungle” on YouTube. She got really into “cheesey hair metal” from Winger and Ratt to Motley Crue before accidentally discovering the blues.
“One day I was sitting in the car while my mom was busy shopping and I was switching through channels and I forgot what station it was, but it was playing B. B. King’s music and that was the first time I had heard the blues. I was probably like 12 or 13. I didn’t even know that you could do that with a guitar. Hearing that, I realized what really made me want to dive deeper into guitar playing,” Bowers said.
Her mom, Lisa Bowers, said her daughter tried everything from ballet to soccer and even football, but nothing stuck. “You just want your kids to find their passion,” Lisa Bowers said. “She asked for a guitar, so we went and got her one.”
At that time, Grace suffered a lot of anxiety and struggled in school, but the guitar community supported her. The community that she found playing guitar lifted her up and gave her a place where she belonged. She never had that feeling before. It completely changed the person she was.
注意:
1.续写词数不应少于150个;

Ludwig van Beethoven was born over 250 years ago. His music is still played daily around the world. His melodies(乐曲) are often used in movies, TV shows, and even cartoons. Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, but he’s probably best known for his nine symphonies(交响曲). When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for the 10th Symphony. But all that he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches”- short bits of written music.
In 2019, a special team of musicians, computer scientists, and historians was formed. Their goal was to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The team didn’t just want to complete the symphony; they wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. That’s where deep learning came in.
To train artificial intelligence(AI) to help with the symphony, the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand. By feeding the program all of Beethoven’s music, AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. This included, for example, how he reused simple melodies all through a piece to create a theme, or how he moved between different parts of the symphony.
Other members of the team studied Beethoven’s notes and sketches, and worked to figure out what Beethoven was planning to do. Where in the symphony did he plan to use each little bit of music that he left?
Finally, AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony. It took over two years, but the team was able to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony. Not simply a melody, but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra(管弦乐队). So Beethoven now has the 10th Symphony. And though Beethoven didn’t write it all, the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written, if he’d had the chance.
4. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce Beethoven’s music career.
B. To highlight Beethoven’s achievements.
C. To provide background information.
D. To bring back Beethoven’s last symphony.
5. How can AI help to finish the 10th Symphony?
A. By studying Beethoven’s other symphonies.
B. By collecting all of Beethoven’s music.
C. By identifying Beethoven’s notes and sketches.
D. By finding the musical patterns of Beethoven.
6. What do we know about Beethoven’s 10th Symphony?
A. It is suitable to be played by an orchestra.
B. It requires at least 40 players to play.
C. It has to be tested by Beethoven experts.
D. It is a long piece of music without any theme.
7. What is the best title for the text?

Chinese linen, or xiabu-literally “cloth for summer”-is a traditional handmade textile made from China grass, also known as ramie. Being hailed as the “king of natural fibers”, the linen has unique properties such as wear-comfort, good durability and good rinsibility (可漂洗性). It’s also delicate, yet not as fragile as silk.
A variety of xiabu was developed in what is now Chongqing’s Rongchang district during the Han Dynasty. Royals and nobility during the Tang Dynasty liked wearing the linen during the summer months. It was one of the first products to be exported from the district in the 20th century, with an annual output of around 700,000 bolts (匹). In 2008, Rongchang xiabu craft was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.
According to the district’s commission of commerce, the annual demand for xiabu in the international market reaches around three million bolts, of which 40 percent are sold to the Republic of Korea. Over the past three years, 13 xiabu manufacturing companies in Rongchang have exported goods worth more than 50 billion yuan.
“It takes more than 10 procedures-including ramie fiber reaping, thread twisting, weaving, bleaching (漂白) and dyeing-over a period of about 20 days to make a piece of ramie cloth,” said 37-year-old Ma Linqin, a municipal-level inheritor of Rongchang xiabu craftsmanship.
To produce a fine cloth, a xiabu craftsperson has to weave thread up and down over 2,400 times on a 1.5-inch-wide loom (织布机), with both hands and feet working in smooth coordination. This is the most important and intricate part of the whole process. “Although it’s time-consuming and labor-intensive, we need to recognize that xiabu is a long-term necessity in the marketplace,” Ma said.
According to the local cultural and tourism commission, Rongchang xiabu has been made into more than 1,000 products, including dresses, suits, decorative paintings, embroidery, bedding, tablecloths, towels and bags. “Our products are especially favored by those who pursue a higher quality of life, and the consumer group is becoming increasingly younger. Sustaining intangible cultural heritages requires responsibility and perseverance,” Ma said.
8. What information can we get about xiabu?
A. It has a lot in common with silk.
B. It is made into clothes for all seasons.
C. It is a traditional machine-made textile.
D. It is comfortable to wear and easy to wash.
9. What can we learn about the market demand for xiabu?
A. It is expected to become greater.
B. It is limited to specific regions in Asia.
C. It is going beyond the supply largely.
D. It is declining due to the popularity of other fibers.
10. What does the underlined word “intricate” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Smooth. B. Efficient. C. Complex. D. Creative.
11. What can we infer from Ma Linqin’s words from the last paragraph?
A. Xiabu craftsmen are highly respected.
B. Xiabu is well recognized by the market.
C. The high prices of xiabu products are reasonable.
D. Young people are encouraged to learn xiabu craft.

9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“According to the district’s commission of commerce, the annual demand for xiabu in the international market reaches around three million bolts, of which 40 percent are sold to the Republic of Korea. Over the past three years, 13 xiabu manufacturing companies in Rongchang have exported goods worth more than 50 billion yuan.(据该地区商务委员会称,国际市场对夏布的年需求量约为300万匹,其中40%销往韩国。在过去的三年里,荣昌的13家霞布制造公司出口了价值超过500亿元的商品)”可知,对夏布的需求预计会更大。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“To produce a fine cloth, a xiabu craftsperson has to weave thread up and down over 2,400 times on a 1.5-inch-wide loom(织布机), with both hands and feet working in smooth coordination.(为了织出一块好布,一个夏布工匠必须在宽1.5英寸的织布机上,将线来回穿梭2400多次,同时手脚并用,协调一致”可知,这是整个过程中最重要和最复杂的部分。所以划线词的意思是“复杂的”。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our products are especially favored by those who pursue a higher quality of life, and the consumer group is becoming increasingly younger(我们的产品特别受到追求更高生活质量的人们的喜爱,而且这个消费者群体正变得越来越年轻)”可知,夏布在市场上得到了广泛认可。故选B项。

Adrenaline (肾上腺素), also known as epinephrine, is a type of hormone that is released whenever a person experiences fear, anxiety, or stress.
In fact, as soon as your brain senses danger, it tells your body to start making adrenaline. The hormone moves through your bloodstream quickly and jumps into action by binding itself to molecules called adrenoceptors, which can be found in cells in almost every organ. When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once — more than 10 times higher than when you’ re calm — it’s called an adrenaline rush.
That flood has lots of noticeable effects, and each one is intended to protect you in a dangerous situation. Your pupils (瞳孔) will widen to let more light into your eyes so that you can see more of your surroundings. Your brain begins to work faster to draw up a plan. Your heart beats more rapidly and pumps extra blood to your muscles, also delivering an increase of oxygen from your lungs. All of these effects accumulate into nervous, anxious feelings. That’s why it might seem as if your head is spinning, your thoughts are racing, or your heart is beating out of your chest.
Despite what superhero stories might tell you, there’s not much evidence that the hormone gives you extra strength. Instead, experts think that great achievements-like a parent lifting a car off a trapped kid-happen when some kind of psychological switch gets flipped (按动). That is, unless you’re under serious pressure, you might underestimate what your body is really capable of.
In general, adrenaline rushes have prepared animals for stressful situations for millions of years. The glands (腺) that produce the stimulating chemical are found in any species with a backbone. Even dinosaurs likely had the stimulating stuff pumping through their veins (静脉). Early people like Homo erectus and Homo habilis probably felt fear and nervousness as they wandered through the prehistoric jungles. When a pop quiz makes you sweaty today, you feel the same tension that helped your ancestors 10,000 generations ago defeat fierce lions.
12. What can be learned concerning an “adrenaline rush”?
A. It controls the level of the hormone.
B. It makes passive feelings disappear.
C. It leads humans to feel energetic.
D. It results from a stressful situation.
13. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By explaining concepts. B. By providing exact data.
C. By describing details. D. By making comparisons.
14. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. Adrenaline gives extra strength like in superhero tales.
B. Great achievements are due to psychological switch, not adrenaline.
C. A parent lifting a car off a trapped child is impossible without adrenaline.
D. Adrenaline rushes have only been important for animals recently.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to the role of “adrenaline rushes”?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肾上腺素在人体内的作用机制及其在应对危险和压力时引发的生理反应。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Adrenaline (肾上腺素), also known as epinephrine, is a type of hormone that is released whenever a person experiences fear, anxiety, or stress(肾上腺素,也称为肾上腺素,是一种激素,每当一个人经历恐惧、焦虑或压力时就会释放出来)”以及第二段“In fact, as soon as your brain senses danger, it tells your body to start making adrenaline. The hormone moves through your bloodstream quickly and jumps into action by binding itself to molecules called adrenoceptors, which can be found in cells in almost every organ. When a large amount of the chemical is produced all at once — more than 10 times higher than when you’ re calm-it’s called an adrenaline rush.(事实上,一旦你的大脑感知到危险,就会告诉身体开始产生肾上腺素。这种激素迅速通过血液流动,并通过与几乎每个器官细胞中的分子(称为肾上腺素受体)结合而发挥作用。当这种化学物质在短时间内大量产生——比你平静时高出10倍以上时——这被称为肾上腺素激增)”可知,肾上腺素激增是因为大脑感知到危险,从而产生大量肾上腺素。因此,肾上腺素激增是由压力情况引起的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Your pupils (瞳孔) will widen to let more light into your eyes so that you can see more of your surroundings. Your brain begins to work faster to draw up a plan. Your heart beats more rapidly and pumps extra blood to your muscles, also delivering an increase of oxygen from your lungs.(你的瞳孔会变宽,让更多的光线进入你的眼睛,这样你就可以看到更多的周围环境。你的大脑开始更快地制定计划。你的心脏跳动得更快,向肌肉泵送额外的血液,同时也从肺部输送更多的氧气)”可知,第三段详细描述了肾上腺素激增时身体的各种反应,如瞳孔放大、大脑加速运转、心跳加快等。这些都是具体的生理反应细节。因此,第三段主要是通过描述细节来展开的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Instead, experts think that great achievements-like a parent lifting a car off a trapped kid-happen when some kind of psychological switch gets flipped (按动). That is, unless you’re under serious pressure, you might underestimate what your body is really capable of.(相反,专家认为,当某种心理开关被触发时,就会发生像父母从被困孩子身上抬车这样的伟大成就。也就是说,除非你处于严重的压力之下,否则你可能会低估你的身体真正的能力)”可知,专家认为伟大的成就可能是由于某种心理开关被激活,而不是肾上腺素直接赋予额外力量。由此可推知,伟大成就归因于心理开关,而不是肾上腺素。故选B。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In general, adrenaline rushes have prepared animals for stressful situations for millions of years. The glands (腺) that produce the stimulating chemical are found in any species with a backbone. Even dinosaurs likely had the stimulating stuff pumping through their veins (静脉).(总的来说,肾上腺素激增已经在数百万年间为动物应对压力情况做好了准备。能够产生这种刺激性化学物质的腺体存在于所有有脊椎的物种中。即使是恐龙,很可能也有这种刺激性物质在其血管中流动)”可知,作者虽然对肾上腺素直接赋予额外力量的说法持怀疑态度,但是文章整体描述了肾上腺素在危险情况下的保护作用。由此可推知,作者对其作用持积极态度。故选A。

根据短文内容,从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Feeling some anxiety is part of the human experience and helps us challenge dangers and obstacles. But if it affects us so much that we are limited and avoidant, we know that certain habits we have allowed to develop aren’t serving us. ____16____
Reject uncomfortable feelings
The modern world takes feelings far too seriously. ____17____ We feel nervous or bored, and our immediate impulse is to get out of there fast. This resistance to our own feelings emphasizes those feelings, making us more anxious. The solution? Be okay with not always feeling great.

When we challenge this belief, we see it isn’t true and realize a deeper sense of personal security.
Think about “anxiety” often
____20____ Yes, the irony (讽刺) is notable. When we regularly think about our “mental health” and how there appears to be something wrong that needs fixing, we inadvertently (不经意地) give weight to anxiety.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了导致不必要焦虑的几种习惯,并给出了相应的建议。
【16题详解】
设空位于首段段尾,应是起到引出下文的作用,根据前文“Feeling some anxiety is part of the human experience and helps us challenge dangers and obstacles. But if it affects us so much that we are limited and avoidant, we know that certain habits we have allowed to develop aren’t serving us.(感到焦虑是人类经历的一部分,它帮助我们挑战危险和障碍。但是,如果它对我们的影响如此之大,以至于我们变得有限和回避,我们就知道,我们允许养成的某些习惯对我们没有好处)”可知,接下来应是讲述哪些习惯对我们没有好处,所以D项“The following habits contribute to unnecessary anxiety.(以下的习惯会导致不必要的焦虑)”承接上文,并引出下文具体内容。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“The modern world takes feelings far too seriously.(现代社会太把感觉当回事了)”,以及后文“We feel nervous or bored, and our immediate impulse is to get out of there fast.(我们感到紧张或无聊,我们的第一个冲动是迅速离开那里)”可知,本段主要讲述现代社会太把感觉当回事了,会拒绝不舒服的感觉,所以F项“Many of us have conditioned ourselves to resist unpleasant feelings.(我们中的许多人都习惯于抵制不愉快的感觉)”符合本段主题,承接上文引出下文。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Anything refined, processed, and far-removed from its natural state promotes an imbalance in our bodies.(任何精炼、加工和远离自然状态的东西都会促进我们身体的不平衡)”可知,C项“Our bodies speak to us when we aren’t in harmony.(当我们不和谐时,我们的身体会向我们说话)”是对前文的进一步解释,其中our bodies为同词复现,并引出下文“We’re more likely to experience what feels like anxiety if we’ re out of equilibrium.(如果我们失去平衡,我们更有可能体验到焦虑)”符合语境。故选C项。
【19题详解】
分析设空,为本段小标题,根据后文“When we think certain things repeatedly, we reinforce those things and create our realities. The idea that other people are capable of affecting our self-worth is a belief that most humans entertain, and it makes us fearful. When we challenge this belief, we see it isn’t true and realize a deeper sense of personal security.(当我们反复思考某些事情时,我们就在强化这些事情,并创造出我们自己的现实。认为他人能够影响我们的自我价值感,是大多数人都会持有的一种信念,而这会让我们感到恐惧。当我们挑战这种信念时,就会发现它并不真实,并从而获得一种更深层次的个人安全感)”可知,本段主要讲述我们大多数人都相信他人能够影响我们的自我价值感,所以E项“Believe people have the power to decrease our self-worth.(相信人们有能力降低我们的自我价值)”是本段小标题。故选E项。
【20题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据本段小标题“Think about “anxiety” often(经常思考“焦虑”)”,以及后文“Yes, the irony (讽刺) is notable. When we regularly think about our “mental health” and how there appears to be something wrong that needs fixing, we inadvertently (不经意地) give weight to anxiety. We make it part of who we think we are. Instead of frequently thinking about you and “your anxiety”, focus on creating things and living your life.(是的,讽刺是值得注意的。当我们经常想到自己的“心理健康”,以及哪里出了问题需要解决时,我们不经意地加重了焦虑。我们让它成为我们自我认知的一部分。不要总是想着你和“你的焦虑”,专注于创造事物和过你的生活)”可知,本段主要讲述了不要总是想着让你焦虑的事,所以G项“Much of the anxiety problem comes from having it on our minds in the first place.(很多焦虑问题首先来自于我们的思想)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选G项。

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Guitar virtuoso(能手) Grace Bowers is a typical 17-year-old girl who loves kicking around Nashville in her Jeep with her dogs Lenny and Geroge on pretty days. Her innocent giggles in no way signal what happens when Bowers picks up a guitar.
Bowers first had a guitar at age 9 after she watched the music video for “Welcome to the Jungle” on YouTube She got really into “cheesey hair metal” from Winger and Ratt to Motley Crue before accidentally discovering the blues.
“One day I was sitting in the car while my mom was busy shopping and I was switching through channels and I forgot what station it was, but it was playing B. B. King’s music and that was the first time I had heard the blues. I was probably like 12 or 13. I didn’t even know that you could do that with a guitar. Hearing that, I realized what really made me want to dive deeper into guitar playing,” Bowers said.
Her mom, Lisa Bowers, said her daughter tried everything from ballet to soccer and even football, but nothing stuck. “You just want your kids to find their passion,” Lisa Bowers said. “She asked for a guitar, so we went and got her one.”
At that time, Grace suffered a lot of anxiety and struggled in school, but the guitar community supported her. The community that she found playing guitar lifted her up and gave her a place where she belonged. She never had that feeling before. It completely changed the person she was.
