Build建造；B. Control控制；C. Run奔跑、经营；D. Mind介意、关心。根据下文“you will never be able to play”可知，这是对他的嘲讽，所以用mind one’s own business表示“管好自己的事”。故选D项。 【5题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：正是那句话激发了他打乒乓球的决心。A. fired点火、激发；B. blew吹；C. picked捡、采摘；D. held抓住、举办。根据上文对他讽刺的话可知，这些话应该是“激发”了他的决心，符合语境。故选A项。 【6题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：哈马图说，最大的挑战是找到最佳的方法来控制他的身体。A. expectation期望；B. change变化、零钱；C. challenge挑战；D. operation操作、手术。根据下文“figuring out the best way to control his body”可知，作为一个无臂球员，控制身体肯定不容易，所以应该是一种“挑战”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：最后，我试着用我的嘴。A. Finally最后、最终；B. Suddenly突然地；C. Normally正常地；D. Actually实际上、事实上。根据上文“I was trying first to use the paddle under the arm, and I also tried using other things, which weren’t working so well”和下文“I tried using my mouth”可知，前文尝试过了用胳膊和其他部位，所以应该是“最后”是试着用嘴。故选A项。 【8题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：2016年，这位令人难以置信的运动员在非洲锦标赛上获得了银牌，这让他得以参加2016年和2020年的残奥会。A. faithful忠诚的、可信任的；B. responsible负责的、有责任的；C. unbelievable难以置信的；D. emotional情感的、情绪的。根据上文“It took me three years to master the sport”可知，一个残疾运动员花费了三年时间掌握这项运动，所以他是“令人难以置信的”运动员，符合语境。故选C项。 【9题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这位杰出的运动员说：“残疾不在于胳膊或腿，而在于放弃你想做的事情。”A. disappointment失望、沮丧；B. disability残疾、缺陷；C. argument辩论、争论；D. possibility可能性。根据上文“the armless Egyptian table tennis star”以及下文“not in arms or legs”可知，“残疾”不在于胳膊或腿。故选B项。 【10题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果你有哈马图那样坚强的意志力，你就能克服任何困难，在生活中取得任何成就。A. appreciate欣赏、感激；B. produce生产、产生；C. prove证明；D. achieve实现、取得。根据前文“overcome any struggles”可知，此处用“实现”成就与之对应，符合语境。故选D项。 第二节 语法填空 (共10小题;每小题1分，共10分) A 语法填空 I’m a junior secondary school student.

It means to create a relaxed and comfortable mood. It can be felt by relaxing activities like chatting with friends. Besides, hygge is also about learning to be happy with simple things. This really resonated (共鸣) with me. I feel stressed at home because my small flat is packed with much stuff. I decide to throw the things that don’t hold memories. Doing this would help me feel hygge. Last year, lagom, a Swedish word meaning“just the right amount”, became popular. Lagom is about seeking a balance of work and life. It’s also about living more sustainably (可持续地) by saving more energy, creating less waste and recycling more. Next year, I won’t have to replace things so often. Plus, I keep thinking about recycling and hoping to save as much money as possible. So, I can get on board with lagom. Coming from Japan, wabi sabi is about finding beauty in imperfection. Wabi refers to the failings in the production process, which makes an object special. Sabi describes the beauty that comes with age. The tradition of wabi sabi can offer a new way to view our homes. I am a perfectionist and I keep my home tidy. But now, my girls put their toys everywhere. So, I have to see the mess and accept the imperfections. In the Japanese concept, ikigai means “a reason for being”, which can bring satisfaction and meaning to life. . Many people believe ikigai can be found at` what you are good at and what you love doing. For me, it is blogging. This year I can do more writing tasks that interest me. And if I notice the things that bring me no joy, I can stay away from them in the future. Hopefully, this will help me to lead a more meaningful life. 21.

(Hygge在英国已经流行一年多了。它的意思是创造一种轻松舒适的氛围。它可以通过放松的活动来感受，比如和朋友聊天。此外，hygge还关乎学会因简单的事物而快乐)”可知，如果一个人想过简单而快乐的生活，hygge这种生活方式是合适的。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Coming from Japan, wabi sabi is about finding beauty in imperfection.(来自日本的wabi sabi是在不完美中寻找美)”可知，为了过上wabi sabi的生活方式，一个人必须在他或她不完美的生活中寻找美。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。结合标题“Welcoming New Lifestyles (迎接新的生活方式)”和下文内容可知，文章介绍的四种新的生活方式，并结合作者自身的体验进行了阐述，这属于日常生活类话题，因此这篇文章最可能出现在流行杂志上。故选D项。 B How far would you go to help a friend? Jeremy Savage and Ian Marshall had their friendship tested to the limit on a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains with their parents. On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb a mountain nearby on their own. After three hours, they reached the top and enjoyed the beautiful view from the mountaintop. However, trouble began when they started the climb down. On one very dangerous part of the mountain, Ian fell three metres off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where Ian was and found him badly injured and not able to move. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help but he did not want to leave his friend. He cleaned the dirt and blood from Ian’s face and hands, and then tried to help Ian stand up, but Ian’s right leg was hurting too much. They had to wait and hope that help would come. Meanwhile, as darkness started to fall, their parents back at the campsite became very worried about the boys. They called park workers and began searching for the boys. While waiting for help, Jeremy gave Ian his food and let him lie on his jacket. As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents but Jeremy still did not leave. He thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone on such a cold windy night. Jeremy used his jacket to keep Ian warm and they rested together through the night. At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain. So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Jeremy carried Ian on his back. Finally, after four long and tiring hours, they came across their relieved parents, who were still looking for them on the mountain. “I will always remember what Jeremy did for me,” said Ian afterwards. “He saved my life. That is the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend.” 24 What happened when Jeremy and Ian started the climb down? A. They lost their way. B. The weather turned bad. C. They ran out of their food. D. Ian fell and got injured. 25. What do we know from the last paragraph? A. Their parents met them at the campsite. B. Jeremy carried Ian on his back to climb down. C. Their parents helped them out of the trouble. D. Jeremy and Ian waited for four hours to be saved. 26. What words can best describe Jeremy? A. Brave and confident. B. Loyal and honest. C. Trust-worthy and selfless. D. Hard-working and sympathetic. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要描写Jeremy 和Ian与父母攀登时，Ian不幸受伤了，Jeremy不离不弃地陪着他。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On one very dangerous part of the mountain, Ian fell three metres off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where Ian was and found him badly injured and not able to move. (在山上的一个非常危险的地方，Ian从小径旁摔下了三米。Jeremy爬下去找到了Ian，发现他受了重伤，无法移动)”可知，Ian掉下来受伤了。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Jeremy carried Ian on his back. (于是，他们开始了返回营地的漫长攀爬。Jeremy背着Ian)”可知，Jeremy背着Ian下山。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“On one very dangerous part of the mountain, Ian fell three metres off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where Ian was and found him badly injured and not able to move. (在山上的一个非常危险的地方，Ian从小径旁摔下了三米。Jeremy爬下去找到了Ian，发现他受了重伤，无法移动)”以及最后一段“So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Jeremy carried Ian on his back. Finally, after four long and tiring hours, they came across their relieved parents, who were still looking for them on the mountain.(于是，他们开始了返回营地的漫长攀爬。Jeremy背着Ian。最终，在四个漫长而疲惫的小时后，他们遇到了正在山上寻找他们的父母，父母见到他们后松了一口气)”可知，Ian受伤之后，Jeremy不离不弃，可见Ian是一个很值得信任和无私的人。故选C。 C Choosing the Right Resolution (决定) Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake. To reach our goal of losing weight — the output, we need to control what we eat — the input (输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. Recently a new science behind incentives (激励), including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control. As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do. If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run, these new goals could become a habit. 27. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because . A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it is focused too much on the result C. it is dependent on too many things D. it is based on actionable decisions 28. In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because . A. they obeyed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to exams C. they were motivated by their classmates D. they were rewarded for reading some books 29. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal? A. “I’ll give up dessert.” B. “I’ll study harder.” C. “I’ll cut down my expense” D. “I’ll spend more time with my family” 30. The writer strongly believes that we should . A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output 【答案】27. B 28. D 29. A 30. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章举例说明在我们制定目标的时候，应选择可以变成好习惯的具体行动，而不要过于笼统地注重结果。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To reach our goal of losing weight—the output, we need to control what we eat—the input (输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. (为了达到减肥的目标——输出，我们需要控制我们的饮食——输入。也就是说，我们倾向于关心输出，而不是控制输入。这不是一种构建目标的好方法。)”和“Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. (创建一个专注于明确输入的目标可能比专注于结果更有效。)”可知，作者认为把减肥作为一个目标是错误的，因为过于注重结果。故选B项。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. (例如，研究人员Roland Fryer想看看什么能最有效地激励孩子在学校表现得更好。在某些情况下，他根据输入给学生奖励，比如阅读某些书籍，而在其他情况下，奖励是基于输出，比如考试成绩。)”可知，在Roland Fryer的研究中，因为有些学生读了一些书而得到了奖励，所以他们比其他人做得更好。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch ” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.(与其下定决心减肥，不如尝试一个切实可行的决心：“我午饭不再吃甜点”或“我每天步行20分钟”。制定一个专注于明确输入的目标可能比专注于结果更有效)”及第三段“Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books on the other hand is a well-set task over which they have much more control.(弗莱尔的结论是，强化输入可能更有效，因为学生不知道如何在考试中取得更好的成绩，除了像“更努力地学习”这样的一般规则。另一方面，阅读某些书籍是一项很好的任务，他们有更多的控制权)”及文章倒数第二段“If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly if you want to spend more time with your family don’t stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to like a family movie night every Wednesday.(如果你想减少开支，一个很好的目标是早上在家里煮咖啡，而不是去咖啡馆。这是一个明确的基于行动的目标，你可以很容易地衡量你的成功。少花钱不是一个目标，因为它太笼统了。同样，如果你想花更多的时间和你的家人在一起，不要止步于这个笼统的愿望。想一个可行的习惯，你可以采纳并坚持，比如每周三的家庭电影之夜。)”可知，作者认为比较具体可行的，注重过程的目标是好的目标，笼统泛泛，只注重结果的目标不是好目标，在四个选项中A项“我将放弃甜食”是具体的目标，其他都是笼统的目标。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday. (同样，如果你想花更多的时间和家人在一起，不要止步于这个普遍的愿望。想一个你可以养成并坚持的可行习惯，比如每周三全家一起看电影。)”可知，作者建议我们应该选择可以变成好习惯的具体行动。故选C项。 D Young students are often considered “digital natives,” with technology integrated into every aspect of their lives. While this can be an advantage in some situations, research has shown that the impact is not entirely positive—the Internet allows them to quickly find information at the cost of significant distraction in class. Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information. When students can’t seem to focus, a common idea among teachers is that short is good. Many teachers simply cut lessons into smaller pieces. Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteract the desires to come back to study. Some teachers also choose to “meet students where they are” on platforms like YouTube. A 2018 study from Pearson found that students tended to stay away from physical books, preferring video as a source of information second only to teachers. By meeting students where they already engage and create, teachers can better catch attention. However, while some educators are welcoming technology in the classroom, multiple studies have shown more traditional classrooms can be more successful. A 2014 study found taking notes in longhand helped students withhold information better than using a laptop. Researchers also point out switching between short teaching pieces too quickly could take valuable comprehension from the students. Students need time to engage with a topic before moving on. Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. Technology will be favoured only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline. Success is no longer about knowing the most. Instead, it’s the ability to think critically and creatively, the very skills that digital media weakens by lowering attention spans. If you think of people who became successful in the tech world, it wasn’t because they could code; it was because they could think. Digital natives will continue to eagerly adopt new media. Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them. 31. What result has technology brought to students? A. It urges them to process information. B. It prevents them obtaining information. C. It ruins their possible classroom distraction. D. It damages their ability to digest information. 32. What does the underlined word “counteract” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Maintain. B. Motivate. C. Reduce. D. Replace. 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. Direct instruction takes priority in lessons. B. Digital resources will weaken offline learning. C. Small lessons can engage students in learning. D. Laptop noting helps students gain knowledge better. 34. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Students need to learn to get rid of social media. B. Teachers should progress to educate the young generation. C. The benefits of technology on education outweigh its harm. D. Traditional methods are favoured by both teachers and students. 【答案】31. D 32. C 33. A 34. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述现在电子科技已经融入到了年轻学生的生活中，研究表明互联网让他们能够快速找到信息，而代价是课堂上的注意力严重分散。教师别无选择，只能自我提升，这不仅是为了确保学生能够接触和利用新技术，也是为了教育学生在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话“Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information.”（如果注意力不集中，学生将无法处理信息，这意味着他们将无法理解、分析、批评并对信息做出决定。）可推知，互联网会让学生的注意力分散，注意力分散后就不能很好的去消化所获得的信息。故选D。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句话“Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate.”（当学生需要集中注意力时，一些老师开始上课时进行正念练习。）以及转折连词however可知前后为转折关系。根据划线所在句子的“ any sort of “tech breaks””（任何形式的“技术突破”）和后面的“the desires to come back to study”（重返学习的欲望）可知，老师在上课是会想一些办法让学生集中注意力，但是，只要碰上和互联网有关的东西，就会降低孩子们学习的欲望，所以counteract的意思为“减少，降低”。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句话“Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. ”（甚至许多技术倡导者也发现传统方法的价值，并建议进行综合学习。他们同意教师的权威仍然至关重要，师生面对面的互动仍然是课堂的主要组成部分。）可知，在教学当中，我们应该遵循传统的方法，老师和学生面对面教学，老师对学生做出直接的指导应该在教学中占优先地位。故选A。 【34题详解】 文章大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段最后一句话“Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them.”（教师别无选择，只能自我提升，这不仅是为了确保学生能够接触和利用新技术，也是为了教育学生在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。）可知，这篇文章想要表达我们不可能避免网络或科技给学生们带来的害处，只有老师不断提升自己来教育年轻的一代，让他们在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。故选B。 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分。) How to deal with your homework Staying organized and efficient with your homework can be challenging, but with the right strategies, it’s entirely possible to manage your workload and succeed in your studies.

Anxiety is among the most common and criticized of human emotions. Studies show that over 100 million people in the U.S. will suffer from an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. Rates, especially among the young, have been rising for the past decade. It seems, then, that our efforts to contain anxiety aren’t working. As a clinical psychologist and neuroscience researcher, I believe that we mental health professionals have made a terrible mistake. Feeling anxious isn’t the problem. The problem is that we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety. That’s why it’s increasingly hard to know how to feel good. This “bad” feeling isn’t a failure of mental health. It’s a triumph of human evolution: the ability to think about the uncertain future and prepare for it. The unpleasant emotion, for example, fear, signals that you may be in danger—from a predator, bully or speeding car—and readies your body and mind to fight or take flight. Anxiety, by contrast, has nothing to do with present threats. Instead, it turns you into a mental time traveler, drawing your attention to what lies ahead. Will you succeed or fail in that interview for a job you desperately want? Anxiety prompts your mind and body into action. Your worries force you to prepare thoroughly for the interview, while your heart races and pumps blood to your brain so that you stay sharp and focused, prepared to pursue your goals. Research has also shown something that many scientists didn’t expect: higher levels of dopamine (多巴胺) when we’re anxious. We have long known that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable and also in anticipation of rewards. The fact that anxiety also boosts dopamine levels points to its role in making positive possibilities into reality. Many of us feel overwhelmed by lasting anxiety and don’t see any benefit from it. We have come to believe that the best way to cope is to get rid of it. But treating anxiety like a disease prevents us from distinguishing between ordinary anxiety and anxiety disorders. We need to develop a new mindset about this misunderstood emotion. Anxiety can’t do its job unless it makes us uncomfortable, forcing us to sit up and pay attention. We don’t need to like anxiety—just to use it in the right way. 50. Why is it increasingly hard for us to know how to feel good? _____________________________________________________________ 51. How does anxiety help one in a job interview? _____________________________________________________________ 52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Research has shown that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable, but it is in lower levels when we are anxious. _____________________________________________________________ 53. How do you cope with anxiety positively in your daily life? (In about 40 words) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】50. Because we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety. 51. It prompts one’s mind and body into action and it helps him/her to stay sharp and focused in the interview, prepared to pursue his/her goals. 52. Research has shown that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable, but it is in lower levels when we are anxious. Because dopamine is in higher levels when we are anxious. 53. 版本一：We should develop a good mindset about this misunderstood emotion and try to use it in the right way in our daily life, which can help us get rid of it gradually.版本二： I’m usually anxious about the tons of work ahead. To deal with it, I make a checklist of the tasks in order of priority. Whenever I finish one, I’ll tick it off. In this way, anxiety pushes me forward and I translate it into productivity. 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。焦虑已成为现在社会普遍存在的一种现象，人们将它视为糟糕的情绪。文章讲述了焦虑形成的原因、优缺点及如何应对焦虑的方法。 【50题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“The problem is that we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety. That’s why it’s increasingly hard to know how to feel good. ”（问题是我们不知道如何建设性地应对焦虑。这就是为什么越来越难知道如何感觉良好。）可知，我们越来越不知道怎样感到快乐原因是我们不知道如何建设性地去应对焦虑。故答案为：Because we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety. 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“Anxiety prompts your mind and body into action. Your worries force you to prepare thoroughly for the interview, while your heart races and pumps blood to your brain so that you stay sharp and focused, prepared to pursue your goals.”（焦虑促使你的思想和身体付诸行动。你的担忧迫使你为面试做了充分的准备，你会心跳加速、大脑充血，这样你就会保持敏锐和专注，为达成目标做好充分准备。）可知，焦虑会促使人的思想和身体付诸行动，帮助他/她在面试中保持敏锐和专注、实现目标。故答案为：It prompts one’s mind and body into action and it helps him/her to stay sharp and focused in the interview, prepared to pursue his/her goals. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段“Research has also shown something that many scientists didn’t expect: higher levels of dopamine (多巴胺) when we’re anxious.”（研究也显示了某些科学家们没想到的结果：当我们焦虑时，多巴胺水平更高。）可知，“but it is in lower levels when we are anxious”这一部分是错误的，按题目要求划线；原因就是根据文章的描述，研究所得结果是：当我们焦虑时，多巴胺水平更高。故答案为：Research has shown that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable, but it is in lower levels when we are anxious. Because dopamine is in higher levels when we are anxious. 【53题详解】 考查开放答题。根据最后一段“We have come to believe that the best way to cope is to get rid of it. ”（我们要相信最后的应对办法就是摆脱它。）和“We need to develop a new mindset about this misunderstood emotion.”（我们需要对这种让人误解的情绪有一个新的心态。）及“We don’t need to like anxiety—just to use it in the right way.”（我们不需要喜欢焦虑——只是用正确的方式使用它。）可以推测，在日常生活中，我们应该有一个良好的心态来看待焦虑，正确使用它，争取逐渐摆脱它。故答案为：We should develop a good mindset about this misunderstood emotion and try to use it in the right way in our daily life, which can help us get rid of it gradually. 第三节 写作 (20分) 54. 假设你是高一学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim正在做有关高中生最喜爱的运动的调查，写邮件向你询问你最喜欢的运动项目，请你根据以下提示给他回邮件。 要点：1. 你最喜欢的运动；2. 你喜欢该运动的原因；3. 做该运动时的注意事项。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Jim, How is everything going?

It means to create a relaxed and comfortable mood. It can be felt by relaxing activities like chatting with friends. Besides, hygge is also about learning to be happy with simple things. This really resonated (共鸣) with me. I feel stressed at home because my small flat is packed with much stuff. I decide to throw the things that don’t hold memories. Doing this would help me feel hygge. Last year, lagom, a Swedish word meaning“just the right amount”, became popular. Lagom is about seeking a balance of work and life. It’s also about living more sustainably (可持续地) by saving more energy, creating less waste and recycling more. Next year, I won’t have to replace things so often. Plus, I keep thinking about recycling and hoping to save as much money as possible. So, I can get on board with lagom. Coming from Japan, wabi sabi is about finding beauty in imperfection. Wabi refers to the failings in the production process, which makes an object special. Sabi describes the beauty that comes with age. The tradition of wabi sabi can offer a new way to view our homes. I am a perfectionist and I keep my home tidy. But now, my girls put their toys everywhere. So, I have to see the mess and accept the imperfections. In the Japanese concept, ikigai means “a reason for being”, which can bring satisfaction and meaning to life. . Many people believe ikigai can be found at` what you are good at and what you love doing. For me, it is blogging. This year I can do more writing tasks that interest me. And if I notice the things that bring me no joy, I can stay away from them in the future. Hopefully, this will help me to lead a more meaningful life. 21.

Jeremy Savage and Ian Marshall had their friendship tested to the limit on a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains with their parents. On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb a mountain nearby on their own. After three hours, they reached the top and enjoyed the beautiful view from the mountaintop. However, trouble began when they started the climb down. On one very dangerous part of the mountain, Ian fell three metres off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where Ian was and found him badly injured and not able to move. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help but he did not want to leave his friend. He cleaned the dirt and blood from Ian’s face and hands, and then tried to help Ian stand up, but Ian’s right leg was hurting too much. They had to wait and hope that help would come. Meanwhile, as darkness started to fall, their parents back at the campsite became very worried about the boys. They called park workers and began searching for the boys. While waiting for help, Jeremy gave Ian his food and let him lie on his jacket. As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents but Jeremy still did not leave. He thought it was too dangerous for Ian to be alone on such a cold windy night. Jeremy used his jacket to keep Ian warm and they rested together through the night. At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain. So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Jeremy carried Ian on his back. Finally, after four long and tiring hours, they came across their relieved parents, who were still looking for them on the mountain. “I will always remember what Jeremy did for me,” said Ian afterwards. “He saved my life. That is the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend.” 24. What happened when Jeremy and Ian started the climb down? A. They lost their way. B. The weather turned bad. C.

Trust-worthy and selfless. D. Hard-working and sympathetic. C Choosing the Right Resolution (决定) Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake. To reach our goal of losing weight — the output, we need to control what we eat — the input (输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome. Recently a new science behind incentives (激励), including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control. As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do. If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run, these new goals could become a habit. 27. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because . A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans B. it is focused too much on the result C. it is dependent on too many things D. it is based on actionable decisions 28. In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because . A. they obeyed all the general rules B. they paid more attention to exams C. they were motivated by their classmates D. they were rewarded for reading some books 29. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal? A. “I’ll give up dessert.” B. “I’ll study harder.” C. “I’ll cut down my expense” D. “I’ll spend more time with my family” 30. The writer strongly believes that we should . A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output D Young students are often considered “digital natives,” with technology integrated into every aspect of their lives. While this can be an advantage in some situations, research has shown that the impact is not entirely positive—the Internet allows them to quickly find information at the cost of significant distraction in class. Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information. When students can’t seem to focus, a common idea among teachers is that short is good. Many teachers simply cut lessons into smaller pieces. Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteract the desires to come back to study. Some teachers also choose to “meet students where they are” on platforms like YouTube. A 2018 study from Pearson found that students tended to stay away from physical books, preferring video as a source of information second only to teachers. By meeting students where they already engage and create, teachers can better catch attention. However while some educators are welcoming technology in the classroom, multiple studies have shown more traditional classrooms can be more successful. A 2014 study found taking notes in longhand helped students withhold information better than using a laptop. Researchers also point out switching between short teaching pieces too quickly could take valuable comprehension from the students. Students need time to engage with a topic before moving on. Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. Technology will be favoured only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline. Success is no longer about knowing the most. Instead, it’s the ability to think critically and creatively, the very skills that digital media weakens by lowering attention spans.

Anxiety is among the most common and criticized of human emotions. Studies show that over 100 million people in the U.S. will suffer from an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. Rates, especially among the young, have been rising for the past decade. It seems, then, that our efforts to contain anxiety aren’t working. As a clinical psychologist and neuroscience researcher, I believe that we mental health professionals have made a terrible mistake. Feeling anxious isn’t the problem. The problem is that we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety. That’s why it’s increasingly hard to know how to feel good. This “bad” feeling isn’t a failure of mental health. It’s a triumph of human evolution: the ability to think about the uncertain future and prepare for it. The unpleasant emotion, for example, fear, signals that you may be in danger—from a predator, bully or speeding car—and readies your body and mind to fight or take flight. Anxiety, by contrast, has nothing to do with present threats. Instead, it turns you into a mental time traveler, drawing your attention to what lies ahead. Will you succeed or fail in that interview for a job you desperately want? Anxiety prompts your mind and body into action. Your worries force you to prepare thoroughly for the interview, while your heart races and pumps blood to your brain so that you stay sharp and focused, prepared to pursue your goals. Research has also shown something that many scientists didn’t expect: higher levels of dopamine (多巴胺) when we’re anxious. We have long known that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable and also in anticipation of rewards. The fact that anxiety also boosts dopamine levels points to its role in making positive possibilities into reality. Many of us feel overwhelmed by lasting anxiety and don’t see any benefit from it. We have come to believe that the best way to cope is to get rid of it. But treating anxiety like a disease prevents us from distinguishing between ordinary anxiety and anxiety disorders. We need to develop a new mindset about this misunderstood emotion. Anxiety can’t do its job unless it makes us uncomfortable, forcing us to sit up and pay attention. We don’t need to like anxiety—just to use it in the right way. 50. Why is it increasingly hard for us to know how to feel good? _____________________________________________________________ 51. How does anxiety help one in a job interview? _____________________________________________________________ 52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement then underline it and explain why. Research has shown that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable, but it is in lower levels when we are anxious. _____________________________________________________________ 53.
