Holes One of the rare books to win both a Newbery Medal and a National Book Award, the story by Louis Sachar follows Stanley Yelnats as he fights with the curse (诅咒) that has followed his family for generations.

Ages 5-12. (Judd Winick的这部系列电影既有趣又刺激，讲述了一个非常关心人类朋友的机器人男孩的惊险冒险故事。适合年龄5-12岁。)”可知，介绍机器人的书籍属于科幻类，适合6岁的孩子。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Who Was? and What Was? series部分中的“Think of each volume in this series as a history lesson for a child. (将本系列中的每一卷视为儿童的历史课。)”可知，如果孩子们想学历史，可以读Who Was? and What Was?系列丛书。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Encyclopedia Brown series部分中的“A children’s version of Sherlock Holmes this series by Donald J. Sobol satisfies curious readers through the stories of a young detective, Lery Brown. (Donald J.

(作为赢得Newbery奖章和国家图书奖的罕见书籍之一，Louis Sachar的故事讲述了Stanley Yelnats与跟随他家族几代人的诅咒斗争的故事)”可知，Louis Sachar的书获得了两个奖项。故选D。 B Recently, as I watched my son Nathan playing basketball game, I felt sorry for myself and for him. He was playing in the other team’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was falling behind for three quarters of the game. As for me, I was dismissed from my job earlier in the day. Watching the difficult situation that my son was experiencing, I remembered that during the drive home earlier in the day, I kept telling myself that “just like last time I experienced this, I’ll find work again in a short time — I’m confident in my experience and abilities and believe in myself.” But then, self-doubt hit me. The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still falling behind. I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates’ faces as they fought back to not only tie with the other team, but then go ahead by three points. Then, the scores were tied again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball, and with skill and confidence, he moved forward to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul. As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face; there was no room for self-doubt. He made it, helping his team win the game. Later he told me he didn’t know how he did it because he had lost all feelings in his right arm from being thrown to the floor earlier the game. As my heart burst with pride I realized something. I had taught my son — perseverance in the face of difficulties, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was swept away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He’ll play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. On that day, we both won. 5. Why did the author feel sorry? A. He used to be too busy to accompany Nathan. B. Nathan’s team was too weak to compete in the game. C. He had made a big mistake in his work. D. He and Nathan were both going through a hard time. 6. What can be inferred about the author? A. He had lost his job more than once. B. He always lacked self-confidence. C. He didn’t know his abilities well. D. He disliked the job he had been doing. 7. How was the last quarter of the game? A. Nathan’s teammates lost hope. B. The other team played casually. C. The game was very fierce at last. D. It ended up with a big score difference. 8. What was the author’s win on that day? A. He found his true passion. B. He overcame his self-doubt. C. He learnt something new from his son. D. He finally won his son’s respect. 【答案】5. D 6. A 7. C 8. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在失业后观看儿子篮球比赛的过程中，看到儿子面对困难时的坚持与勇气，从而克服了自我怀疑的故事。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Recently, as I watched my son Nathan playing basketball game, I felt sorry for myself and for him. He was playing in the other team’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was falling behind for three quarters of the game. As for me, I was dismissed from my job earlier in the day.(最近，在我观看我儿子内森打篮球比赛时，我为我和他感到难过。他在对方球队的主场体育馆里比赛，那里充满了他们的支持者，而内森的队伍在比赛的三分之二时间里一直落后。至于我自己，当天早些时候刚被解雇)”可知，内森的球队在比赛中落后于对手，而作者今天早些时候被解雇了，他和内森都正在经历一段艰难的时期。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I remembered that during the drive home earlier in the day, I kept telling myself that “just like last time I experienced this, I’ll find work again in a short time — I’m confident in my experience and abilities and believe in myself.”(我记得那天早些时候开车回家的时候，我一直告诉自己“就像上次我经历的那样，我很快就会找到工作的，我对自己的经验和能力充满信心，并相信自己”)”可知，作者相信自己会和上次一样，很快就会找到工作的。由此推知，作者不止一次丢了工作。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates’ faces as they fought back to not only tie with the other team, but then go ahead by three points. Then, the scores were tied again.(我看到了他的决心，也看到了他的队友们脸上的决心，他们奋力反击，不仅与对方打成平手，而且领先三分。然后，比分又平了)”可推知，在比赛的最后四分之一部分，比赛非常激烈。故选C项。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As my heart burst with pride, I realized something. I had taught my son — perseverance in the face of difficulties, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was swept away by the actions of my son on the basketball court.(当我心中充满骄傲时，我意识到一些事情。我教会了儿子——在困难面前保持毅力，而他刚刚也给我上了同样的课。那短暂的自我怀疑和难过的瞬间被我儿子在篮球场上的行为一扫而光)”可推知，看到儿子在球场上面对困难时的坚持和毅力，作者克服了自我怀疑。故选B项。 C Jennifer Udler was in the middle of a 50-minute session with a patient when it started to rain. Walking and talking about anxiety and stress, she and her teenage patient got wet. But when they made it back indoors, Jennifer said, “Hey, look at us! We’ re wet, but we got through it! Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event.” This kind of insight is key to her practice. Jennifer, a social worker whose practice focuses on adolescents, has been a therapist (治疗师) for 20 years. For most of that time, she practiced in a traditional office, but she noticed how easy it was for her running partners to open up about their problems. After doing some research, in 2013, Jennifer founded Positive Strides Therapy, where she conducts sessions while walking outdoors. She conducts all of her sessions outdoors and in all kinds of weather. “When somebody asks me if I specialize in walking therapy, I say, ‘No, that’ s how I practice,’” Udler said. “I specialize in family systems theory. Walking in the park is just where I practice.” Despite the lack of formal research, Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits, saying that it can be helpful. “We’ll be talking about’ moving forward’ as we are actually moving forward on the path, building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind.” And outdoor walking therapy doesn’t just benefit teens, Jennifer says the adults in her practice welcome the humanizing effect of taking therapy outdoors. 9. What lesson did Jennifer teach her teenage patient through the rain? A. Rain and suffering are a part of life. B. She is ready to help the young man. C. We can beat our difficulty after all. D. Rain can help us deal with our trouble. 10. What does the underlined word “insight” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Qualification. B. Foresight. C. Awareness. D. Prediction. 11. How does Jennifer feel her therapy in her reply to people’s question? A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Unconcerned. D. Disappointed. 12. Why does Jennifer think her therapy will help her patients? A. Walking outdoors is similar to managing worries. B. Moving in the rain is a bit too difficult to tolerate. C. The rain can make one excited and face the trouble. D. Running in the rain or storm will make one healthy. 【答案】9. C 10. C 11. B 12. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了治疗师Jennifer Udler通过户外步行的方式对青少年以及成年人进行心理治疗，并讲述了她创立Positive Strides Therapy的经过。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But when they made it back indoors, Jennifer said, ‘Hey, look at us! We’ re wet, but we got through it! Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event.’(但当他们回到室内时，Jennifer说：“嘿，看看我们!我们湿透了，但我们挺过来了！下次你在活动前后感到焦虑时，你就可以这样做。”)”可知，Jennifer通过与青少年病人在雨中散步来告诉他，虽然经历了风雨，但是我们最终是能够战胜困难的。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But when they made it back indoors, Jennifer said, ‘Hey, look at us! We’ re wet, but we got through it! Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event.’ This kind of insight is key to her practice.(但当他们回到室内时，Jennifer说：“嘿，看看我们!我们湿透了，但我们挺过来了！下次你在活动前后感到焦虑时，你就可以这样做。’这种_____是她实践的关键)”可知，Jennifer通过在雨中散步来告诉病人，虽然经历了风雨，但是他们最终能够战胜困难。这对病从来说是一种重要的领悟和认知，这种领悟和认知也是Jennifer实践的关键。故划线词insight指的是“领悟，认知”，与awareness同义。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When somebody asks me if I specialize in walking therapy, I say, ‘No, that’ s how I practice,’ Udler said. ‘I specialize in family systems theory. Walking in the park is just where I practice.’(当有人问我是否专攻行走疗法时，我说，“不，那是我的实践方式，”尤德勒说。“我专攻家庭系统理论。在公园行走只是我的实践场所。”)”和第四段中“Despite the lack of formal research, Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits, saying that it can be helpful.(尽管缺乏正式的研究，珍妮弗坚信它的好处，说它是有帮助的)”可知，当被问到是否专攻步行疗法时，Jennifer明确表示这是她的实践方式，坚信它带来的好处。由此推知，Jennifer对于自己的疗法是充满自信的。故选B项。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘We’ll be talking about’ moving forward’ as we are actually moving forward on the path, building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind.’(“当我们实际上在道路上前进时，我们会谈论‘前进’，建立肌肉记忆，让他们知道如何前进，把焦虑抛在脑后。”)”可知，Jennifer认为在户外步行时谈论“前进”，能建立肌肉记忆，让患者知道如何前进，把焦虑抛在脑后，即这种疗法对病人有效是因为在户外散步类似于处理烦恼。故选A项。 D Psychologists have defined nostalgia (怀旧) as self-conscious, socially emotional, bittersweet but mainly positive. It develops out of happy memories mixed with a longing for the past and the close relationships we had back then. Often, nostalgia involves five senses. For example, the smell of autumn leaves might spark an intense longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone experiences nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. I came of age in the 1980s, and even songs I found hopelessly annoying back then can fill me with nostalgic emotions. As my colleague Julie Beck has written, nostalgia was originally viewed as an emotional disorder when it was first defined in the late 17th century. And, crucially, it often occurs when people are experiencing negative moods or having bad experiences. Loneliness can be a trigger, as researchers found in 2008. Another is bad weather. However, despite its association with negative emotions, nostalgia does not cause or increase unhappiness. Rather, nostalgia is a defense response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Psychologists writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2006 found that stirring nostalgia in experiments strengthened people’s social bonds, boosted their positive feelings about themselves, and improved their mood. Similar research has shown that when people feel nostalgia, it can fire their sense of life’s meaning, lower an existential (存在主义的) reaction to the idea of death, increase spirituality, and raise optimism. Scholars aren’t sure exactly why nostalgia works; some have inferred that recalling happy memories strengthens “valued aspects of the self” in situations when we might otherwise feel lonely or unworthy. Either way, its emotional intensity allows the joy of the past to overpower the unpleasantness of the present, a little escapism that helps get us through the bad times. 13. What do the psychologists think of nostalgia? A. Always painful. B. Primarily positive. C. Seldom intense. D. Usually unconscious. 14. In which situation may people easily feel nostalgia? A. Attending a lively class. B. Engaging in a family reunion. C. Staying alone in an empty room. D. Joining in a joyful birthday party. 15. What may be a benefit of nostalgia? A. Maintaining self-respect. B. Shaping personal insights. C. Escaping from daily chaos. D. Enhancing one’s self-worth. 【答案】13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了怀旧的定义、普遍体验、历史看法、积极作用及原因，指出怀旧是对不幸的一种防御反应，能带来情感慰藉，帮助人们度过困难时期。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Psychologists have defined nostalgia (怀旧) as self-conscious, socially emotional, bittersweet but mainly positive. (心理学家将怀旧定义为自我意识、社会情感、苦乐参半，但主要是积极的)”可知，心理学家认为怀旧主要是积极的。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“And, crucially, it often occurs when people are experiencing negative moods or having bad experiences. Loneliness can be a trigger, as researchers found in 2008. Another is bad weather. (更重要的是，它通常发生在人们经历消极情绪或糟糕经历的时候。研究人员在2008年发现，孤独可能是诱因。另一个是坏天气)”可知，独自待在一个空房间里可能会引起人们的怀旧情绪。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Scholars aren’t sure exactly why nostalgia works; some have inferred that recalling happy memories strengthens “valued aspects of the self” in situations when we might otherwise feel lonely or unworthy. Either way, its emotional intensity allows the joy of the past to overpower the unpleasantness of the present, a little escapism that helps get us through the bad times. (学者们并不确定为什么怀旧会起作用；一些人推断，在我们可能感到孤独或不值得的情况下，回忆快乐的记忆会加强“自我的有价值方面”。不管怎样，它的情感强度让过去的快乐压倒了现在的不愉快，这是一种帮助我们度过艰难时期的逃避现实)”可知，怀旧其中的一个好处是提升自我价值。故选D。 第二节(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。 Once upon a time, we were all question-asking experts. ____16____ By preschool, our inquiries even reached the depths of science, philosophy, and the social order. Where does the sun go at night? Why doesn’t that man have a home like we do? Why do rocks sink but ice floats? Then, at some point, our inquiring desires disappear. Why does the child’s urge to ask questions grow inactive in so many adults? An important factor is how the social environments surrounding us change as we age. Schools transform from a place for asking questions to one funded by our ability to answer them. ____17____ And we recognize that society rewards the people who propose to have the answers. ____18____ We can be braver about asking questions in public and encouraging others to pursue their curiosity, too. In that encouragement, we help create an environment where those around us feel safe to ask questions. When it comes to how we phrase questions, we are advised to open with less sensitive questions, favor follow-up questions, and keep questions open-ended. We can also practice asking questions of and for ourselves by keeping a running list of questions in a journal. ____19____ Finally, we could set aside time to ask absurd questions like “How would you accomplish a week’s work in two hours?” This type of questions forces us to break the boundaries of our comfort zone. In the world that does not look much as it did years ago, we must ask questions. It is a high - payoff behavior especially in times of change. Great questions can open up our capacity to change because they allow us to draw people in, opening them up to sharing knowledge, ideas, and opinions. ____20____ In short, asking questions is the best way to deepen our understanding of the things that matter to our life. A. And they are also our primary means of learning about the world. B. We start asking our parents a lot of questions when we are very young. C. The questions we ask depend on our attitudes as well as the situations. D. But as we grow up, asking questions fills us with worry and self-doubt. E. As such, one way to renew our inquiring spirit is to change the atmosphere. F. We learn to sell ourselves on the job market by what we know, not what we don’t. G. It not only removes the publicity from question asking, but offers us a place to experiment. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. E 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们随着年龄增长提问欲望消失的现象，分析了其原因，并提出了一些建议来重燃人们的求知欲。 【16题详解】 上文“Once upon a time, we were all question-asking experts.

(为什么许多成年人孩子般的提问冲动会变得不活跃呢？一个重要因素是随着我们年龄的增长，我们周围的社会环境发生了变化。学校从一个提问的地方变成了一个由我们回答问题的能力来资助的地方。)”说明学校环境发生变化是导致不爱提问的原因，F选项“We learn to sell ourselves on the job market by what we know, not what we don’t. (我们学会在就业市场上用我们所知来推销自己，而不是用我们不知的。)”进一步说明社会环境发生变化，我们开始学会用所知来推销自己，这也是导致不爱提问的原因，与上文构成并列关系，同时下文“And we recognize that society rewards the people who propose to have the answers. (我们认识到，社会奖励那些提供答案的人。)”进一步说明社会环境奖励的是那些提供答案的人，而不是提问的人，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【18题详解】 下文“We can be braver about asking questions in public and encouraging others to pursue their curiosity, too. (我们可以更勇敢地在公共场合提问，并鼓励他人也追求他们的好奇心。)”提出我们可以更勇敢地提问并鼓励他人，E选项“As such, one way to renew our inquiring spirit is to change the atmosphere.

After picking it up, he searched the wallet to identify the owner and found some $100 notes, some loose change and a key card inside. He didn’t hesitate to do the right thing: according to the sign on the key card, he found where the owner lived. Seventeen-year-old Chase had lost his wallet earlier that day while out fishing with his friends. He had searched and searched, but in vain. Eventually, Chase returned home and found his wallet sent back in the gate house of the community. But the one who sent the wallet had left without leaving his name or address When the family were talking about the story later that day, they decided that they wanted to do something to pay back the finder’s kindness. But what could they do? They didn’t know who the finder was, not to mention his address. Could they find him? It was when they were at a loss that a good idea occurred to Chase’s mother, Michelle: they could check the monitor recording of the gate house. Luckily, they got a picture of the boy. She quickly made a Facebook post using the photo, describing the boy’s honest act and expressing how the family were hoping to meet him to convey their thanks in person. In no time at all, some people in the community recognised Jack and informed Michelle. When Michelle and her family got contact with Jack, they were surprised to learn just what Jack’s family had been going through. Jack’s father had recently recovered from a disease but was still suffering from the aftereffects. He had difficulty breathing and wasn’t allowed to return to his job at a meat packing plant. So that was the reason why the boy had to sell balloons to help support the family. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Chase and his mother decided to help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The response online was great. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Chase and his mother decided to help. Originally, they wanted to give a reward to the boy who demonstrated his integrity even when he was in such a great need of money, but now they thought Jack and his family needed more help. They mapped out a strategy. It was the Internet that helped them quickly find Jack, so they turned to the Facebook again. They posted photos of Jack’s selling balloons, his story of returning the wallet and his family’s suffering on the Internet, appealing to people to help. The response online was great. The support came rolling in, quicker and in greater quantities than expected! Jack’s story went viral. People living in the city visited the park where Jack sold balloons, and happily bought one or two. Besides, a store owner nearby offered an easy job to Jack’s father. The kind man said he was impressed by Jack. “Nothing could be shinier than an honest heart and duty for the family for a child,” he added. Indeed, an honest heart deserved all the best things in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克在卖气球的时候捡到了一个钱包，他选择了归还钱包。钱包的主人也找到了杰克，得知杰克的父亲刚从一场疾病中恢复过来，但仍然受到后遗症的折磨，于是他们选择帮助这一家人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“蔡斯和他妈妈决定帮忙”可知，第一段可描写蔡斯和妈妈帮助杰克一家人的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“网上的反响很好”可知，第二段可描写杰克一家得到帮助，十分感激。 2.续写线索：决定帮忙——在网上发布求助——得到帮助——杰克一家感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①呼吁：appeal to/call on ②制定：map out/formulate ③提供：offer/provide 情绪类 ①正直：integrity/righteousness ②快乐：happily/merrily 【点睛】[高分句型1] Originally, they wanted to give a reward to the boy who demonstrated his integrity even when he was in such a great need of money, but now they thought Jack and his family needed more help.

B Recently, as I watched my son Nathan playing basketball game, I felt sorry for myself and for him. He was playing in the other team’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was falling behind for three quarters of the game. As for me, I was dismissed from my job earlier in the day. Watching the difficult situation that my son was experiencing, I remembered that during the drive home earlier in the day, I kept telling myself that “just like last time I experienced this, I’ll find work again in a short time — I’m confident in my experience and abilities and believe in myself.” But then, self-doubt hit me. The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still falling behind. I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates’ faces as they fought back to not only tie with the other team, but then go ahead by three points. Then, the scores were tied again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball, and with skill and confidence, he moved forward to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul. As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face; there was no room for self-doubt. He made it, helping his team win the game. Later he told me he didn’t know how he did it because he had lost all feelings in his right arm from being thrown to the floor earlier the game. As my heart burst with pride, I realized something. I had taught my son — perseverance in the face of difficulties, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was swept away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He’ll play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. On that day, we both won. 5. Why did the author feel sorry? A. He used to be too busy to accompany Nathan. B. Nathan’s team was too weak to compete in the game. C. He had made a big mistake in his work. D. He and Nathan were both going through a hard time. 6. What can be inferred about the author? A. He had lost his job more than once. B. He always lacked self-confidence. C. He didn’t know his abilities well. D. He disliked the job he had been doing. 7. How was the last quarter of the game? A. Nathan’s teammates lost hope. B. The other team played casually. C. The game was very fierce at last. D. It ended up with a big score difference. 8 What was the author’s win on that day? A. He found his true passion. B. He overcame his self-doubt. C. He learnt something new from his son. D. He finally won his son’s respect. C Jennifer Udler was in the middle of a 50-minute session with a patient when it started to rain. Walking and talking about anxiety and stress, she and her teenage patient got wet. But when they made it back indoors, Jennifer said, “Hey, look at us! We’ re wet, but we got through it! Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event.” This kind of insight is key to her practice. Jennifer, a social worker whose practice focuses on adolescents, has been a therapist (治疗师) for 20 years. For most of that time, she practiced in a traditional office, but she noticed how easy it was for her running partners to open up about their problems. After doing some research, in 2013, Jennifer founded Positive Strides Therapy, where she conducts sessions while walking outdoors. She conducts all of her sessions outdoors and in all kinds of weather. “When somebody asks me if I specialize in walking therapy, I say, ‘No, that’ s how I practice,’” Udler said. “I specialize in family systems theory. Walking in the park is just where I practice.” Despite the lack of formal research, Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits, saying that it can be helpful. “We’ll be talking about’ moving forward’ as we are actually moving forward on the path, building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind.” And outdoor walking therapy doesn’t just benefit teens, Jennifer says the adults in her practice welcome the humanizing effect of taking therapy outdoors. 9. What lesson did Jennifer teach her teenage patient through the rain? A. Rain and suffering are a part of life. B. She is ready to help the young man. C. We can beat our difficulty after all. D. Rain can help us deal with our trouble. 10. What does the underlined word “insight” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Qualification. B. Foresight. C. Awareness. D. Prediction. 11. How does Jennifer feel her therapy in her reply to people’s question? A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Unconcerned. D. Disappointed. 12. Why does Jennifer think her therapy will help her patients? A. Walking outdoors is similar to managing worries. B. Moving in the rain is a bit too difficult to tolerate. C. The rain can make one excited and face the trouble. D. Running in the rain or storm will make one healthy. D Psychologists have defined nostalgia (怀旧) as self-conscious, socially emotional, bittersweet but mainly positive. It develops out of happy memories mixed with a longing for the past and the close relationships we had back then. Often, nostalgia involves five senses. For example, the smell of autumn leaves might spark an intense longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone experiences nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music. I came of age in the 1980s, and even songs I found hopelessly annoying back then can fill me with nostalgic emotions. As my colleague Julie Beck has written, nostalgia was originally viewed as an emotional disorder when it was first defined in the late 17th century. And, crucially, it often occurs when people are experiencing negative moods or having bad experiences. Loneliness can be a trigger, as researchers found in 2008. Another is bad weather. However, despite its association with negative emotions, nostalgia does not cause or increase unhappiness. Rather, nostalgia is a defense response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Psychologists writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2006 found that stirring nostalgia in experiments strengthened people’s social bonds, boosted their positive feelings about themselves, and improved their mood. Similar research has shown that when people feel nostalgia, it can fire their sense of life’s meaning, lower an existential (存在主义的) reaction to the idea of death, increase spirituality, and raise optimism. Scholars aren’t sure exactly why nostalgia works; some have inferred that recalling happy memories strengthens “valued aspects of the self” in situations when we might otherwise feel lonely or unworthy. Either way, its emotional intensity allows the joy of the past to overpower the unpleasantness of the present, a little escapism that helps get us through the bad times. 13. What do the psychologists think of nostalgia? A. Always painful. B. Primarily positive. C. Seldom intense. D. Usually unconscious. 14. In which situation may people easily feel nostalgia? A. Attending a lively class. B. Engaging in a family reunion. C. Staying alone in an empty room. D. Joining in a joyful birthday party. 15. What may be a benefit of nostalgia? A. Maintaining self-respect. B. Shaping personal insights. C. Escaping from daily chaos. D. Enhancing one’s self-worth. 第二节(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。 Once upon a time, we were all question-asking experts. ____16____ By preschool, our inquiries even reached the depths of science, philosophy, and the social order. Where does the sun go at night? Why doesn’t that man have a home like we do? Why do rocks sink but ice floats? Then, at some point, our inquiring desires disappear. Why does the child’s urge to ask questions grow inactive in so many adults? An important factor is how the social environments surrounding us change as we age. Schools transform from a place for asking questions to one funded by our ability to answer them. ____17____ And we recognize that society rewards the people who propose to have the answers. ____18____ We can be braver about asking questions in public and encouraging others to pursue their curiosity, too. In that encouragement, we help create an environment where those around us feel safe to ask questions. When it comes to how we phrase questions, we are advised to open with less sensitive questions, favor follow-up questions, and keep questions open-ended. We can also practice asking questions of and for ourselves by keeping a running list of questions in a journal. ____19____ Finally, we could set aside time to ask absurd questions like “How would you accomplish a week’s work in two hours?” This type of questions forces us to break the boundaries of our comfort zone. In the world that does not look much as it did years ago, we must ask questions. It is a high - payoff behavior especially in times of change. Great questions can open up our capacity to change because they allow us to draw people in, opening them up to sharing knowledge, ideas, and opinions. ____20____ In short, asking questions is the best way to deepen our understanding of the things that matter to our life. A. And they are also our primary means of learning about the world. B. We start asking our parents a lot of questions when we are very young. C. The questions we ask depend on our attitudes as well as the situations. D. But as we grow up, asking questions fills us with worry and self-doubt. E. As such, one way to renew our inquiring spirit is to change the atmosphere. F. We learn to sell ourselves on the job market by what we know, not what we don’t. G. It not only removes the publicity from question asking, but offers us a place to experiment. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At the age of nine, I was taking swimming lessons in a pool.

After picking it up, he searched the wallet to identify the owner and found some $100 notes, some loose change and a key card inside. He didn’t hesitate to do the right thing: according to the sign on the key card, he found where the owner lived. Seventeen-year-old Chase had lost his wallet earlier that day while out fishing with his friends. He had searched and searched, but in vain. Eventually, Chase returned home and found his wallet sent back in the gate house of the community. But the one who sent the wallet had left without leaving his name or address When the family were talking about the story later that day, they decided that they wanted to do something to pay back the finder’s kindness. But what could they do? They didn’t know who the finder was, not to mention his address. Could they find him? It was when they were at a loss that a good idea occurred to Chase’s mother, Michelle: they could check the monitor recording of the gate house. Luckily, they got a picture of the boy. She quickly made a Facebook post using the photo, describing the boy’s honest act and expressing how the family were hoping to meet him to convey their thanks in person. In no time at all, some people in the community recognised Jack and informed Michelle. When Michelle and her family got contact with Jack, they were surprised to learn just what Jack’s family had been going through.
