Cathy was on holiday in Hong Kong, walking for hours every day, when her foot started to hurt. She hadn’t fallen or injured herself but it was so painful that she went to see a doctor. She was shocked to discover she had broken a bone in her foot Worried about her bone strength, Cathy’s doctor sent her for a bone density test. It turned out Cathy had osteopenia (骨量减少), the early stage to osteoporosis (骨质疏松症). She wasn’t prepared for that. “I was just shocked. I truly believed osteoporosis was an old person’s disease.”
That’s a common assumption, says Associate Professor Peter Wong, head of rheumatology (风湿病学) at Westmead Hospital in Sydney. He says it’s also common for people to assume osteoporosis is a condition that affects only elderly women. But osteoporosis can occur in younger women, though it is less common, and can also affect men.
So what is osteoporosis? In simple terms, Wong says, it’s when you have “thin bones”. Instead of hardy, thick bones, osteoporotic bones are at increased risk of being broken. You can even break a bone, as Cathy did, without noticeable injury.
Because osteoporosis is painless, some people discover they have it only after they’ve broken a bone and gone for a scan. While osteoporosis is common, it’s not unavoidable.
Wong says the best ways to prevent it are by consuming enough calcium and doing regular exercise. He recommends aiming for 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day. For example, a tub of yogurt or a serve of cheese is a good amount of calcium.
You also need adequate sunlight exposure, which allows skin to make vitamin D, a crucial component of strong bones, Smoking can lead to weak bones, so quitting is advised. If you have osteoporosis and have broken a bone, Wong says there are treatments available that can thicken bones and dramatically reduce your risk of a further break.
24. According to the first paragraph, why did Cathy go to see a doctor?
A. Because she had no idea why her foot hurt so much.
B. Because walking too much made her foot get injured.
C. Because she thought that a bone was broken in her foot.
D. Because she knew that she was going to have osteoporosis.
25. Which of the following statements about osteoporosis is correct?
A. It is known that osteoporosis hardly affects younger people.
B. Osteopenia indicates that you are bound to have osteoporosis soon.
C. Everyone may have osteoporosis no matter the age and gender.
D. Osteoporosis makes you more painful when breaking a bone.
26. Which way can help you prevent osteoporosis effectively?
A. Sunbathe as much as possible until getting sunburnt.
B. Consume your diet with enough calcium and exercise more.
C. Try a variety of treatments or therapies and find a suitable one.
D. Go to the hospital for a bone density test occasionally.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What We Get Wrong about Osteoporosis B. Osteoporosis — an Old Person’s Disease
C. The Good Ways to Prevent Osteoporosis D. The Right Attitude Towards Osteoporosis
C
When it comes to leading, self-identity matters. Research has shown that seeing yourself as a leader is an important first step on the path toward becoming one — and reluctance (不情愿) to be identified as a leader can keep capable people from taking on leadership responsibilities. So, why are people so often uncomfortable with thinking of themselves as leaders? To explore this question, we conducted a series of studies with more than 1,700 participants, and we consistently found that the more people worried about the reputational risks of being a leader, the less likely they were to be identified as one. Specifically, we identified three common reputational fears: fear of seeming bossy, fear of seeming different and fear of seeming unqualified.
Many participants expressed concern about being seen as autocratic (专横的), bossy or domineering if they were to take on a leadership role. As one interviewee put it, “I wouldn’t want to seem pushy, or that I take advantage of weak people. I wouldn’t want to seem cold.” Interestingly, while much has been written on the use of negative words like “bossy” to describe female leaders, we found that in our studies, men and women were both afraid of coming across in this manner.
The second common concern was that acting as a leader would result in being singled out and receiving too much attention for being different from others — even if that attention was positive. One participant explained, “I don’t want to be looked up to. I am comfortable leading, but at the same time I want to be on the same level as everyone else. “Many people worry that if they become leaders, they will have to sacrifice their sense of belonging within the group.
Regardless of whether they actually saw themselves as qualified, many participants said that they were afraid that others would view them as unfit for leadership. As one shared, “I know people often associate certain typical images with leadership roles, so that makes me somewhat uncomfortable. I worry that if I try to pursue leadership in my field, people will not take me seriously.”
28 What does the underlined word “domineering” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Being proud of oneself. B. Not considering others’ opinions.
C. Speaking ill of other employees. D. Taking advantage of weak people.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Fear of seeming bossy only fits with female leadership.
B. Both male and female worry about being seen as bossy.
C. Leaders should not care about what others think of them.
D. Female leaders are often described in negative-words.
30. What is people’s concern to be different?
A. Getting less attention from others. B. Being talked about by others.
C. Being on the same level as others. D. Lacking sense of belonging to a team.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To explain what reputational fears are. B. To encourage people to be leaders.
C. To complain about the leaders in our life. D. To explain people’s reluctance to be leaders.
D
Violence is a central concept for describing social relationships among humans, a concept loaded with ethical and political significance. Verbal violence, most often also labeled verbal abuse, is a common variety of violence, which contains a relatively large range. of behaviors, including accusing, undermining, verbal threatening, ordering, trivializing (轻视), constant forgetting, silencing, name-calling, open criticizing. It is compatible (共存的) with other forms of violence, including physical violence and psychological violence. For instance, in most bullying behaviors we do find all three kinds of violence (and verbal violence seems to be the most essential form of violence to bullying — you can have no bullying without verbal threat.)
As with psychological violence, the question is posed of what sorts of reactions may be regarded as legitimate (合法的) with respect to verbal violence. Does a verbal threat give someone the leeway (余地) to respond with physical violence? We do find two quite distinct camps here: according to some, no act of verbal violence may justify a physically violent reaction; according to another camp, instead, verbally violent behavior may be as damaging, if not more damaging, than physically violent behaviors.
On the other hand, verbal violence may be sometimes seen also as a form of liberation for the most oppressed. The exercise of humor may be in some cases involved with some forms of verbal violence: from politically incorrect jokes to simple mocking, humor may seem a manner to exercise violence over other people. At the same time, humor is amongst the most gentle tools for social protests, as it requires no special wealth and probably causes no physical damage and need not cause great psychological distress.
The exercise of verbal violence, perhaps more than any other forms of violence, requires a continuous check on the part of the speaker of the reactions to their words: humans almost invariably end up exercising violence over each other; it is only by educating ourselves to try and keep from behaviors that our acquaintances do find violent that we may be able to live peacefully.
32. Which of the following is true about verbal violence according to the first paragraph?
A. It is not related to ethical or political issues.
B. It only includes name-calling and public criticism.
C. It can be found in most bullying behaviors.
D. It is not compatible with other forms of violence.
33. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. Legitimate response to verbal violence is of major concern.
B. Act of verbal violence justifies and authorizes a physical reaction.
C. Verbal violence is undoubtedly as destructive as physical violence.
D. Verbal violence has no essential difference with psychological violence.
34. Why is humor regarded as one of the gentlest tools for social protests?
A. Because the poor can also use humor for social protests.
B. Because it will not cost the interests of the protester.
C. Because it is more acceptable than other forms of violence.
D. Because it will only result in mild consequences.
35. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. How to respond to verbal violence properly. B. Explaining what verbal violence is.
C. How to correctly view verbal violence. D. The different types of verbal violence.

In our modern economy, accelerated learning can be crucial for success. Learning faster means gaining more knowledge—quicker than others. ___36___ Anyone can learn from them and accelerate their learning process with the following techniques.
Combine Learning Styles That Play to Your Strengths
When you aim to accelerate your learning, what you choose to learn should not be limited to a curriculum or classroom structure. ___37___ Different materials along with your learning style can accelerate or slow down your comprehension process. The best learning style is the one that makes it easier to process, or comprehend ideas, and subjects faster. Once you know your learning strengths and weaknesses, you can choose learning strategies that play to your strengths.
Seek First to Understand The Basic Structure of The Topic You Choose
___38___ So you need to seek first to understand the basics. In other words, you have to get to know the tree’s root, trunk, then branch out from there. Don’t start from the branches or the leaves, pursue the root and work your way to the topic. Therefore, whatever topic you choose to learn or study, just start with the basics.
Give Yourself Plenty of Time in Both “Focused” And “Diffused”(分散的)Modes
Normally, the human brain is not meant to stay in “focused” mode for hours at a time. ___39___ Consequently, when your brain is active for a very long time, you’re actually blocking your access to the diffused mode — a more relaxed state.
Therefore, diffused mode is just as valuable as the focused mode. So — just take breaks, let your mind wander, think about other things, and give your brain plenty of time to make better connections. ___40___
A. You can benefit a lot from staying focused.
B. Smart learners don’t have any special secrets.
C. You should try to choose whatever you like best.
D. Every topic or subject has a logical structure to it.
E. Then you can learn better by imposing breaks on yourself.
F. Long-lasting attention to a single task can block memory and recall.
G. You can practically choose content from many sources, experts, and authors.

67. 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。
“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Contact…”
I rarely read the classified advertisements, so why did I notice that one? I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, during the Great Depression when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin.
When my older twin sisters began showing an interest in music, Harriet Anne learned to play Grandma’s piano, while Suzanne turned to Daddy’s violin. Simple tunes became lovely melodies. My baby brother danced; Daddy hummed and Mother whistled. I just listened.
When my arms grew long enough, I tried to play Suzanne’s violin. Oh, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question.
One evening as the twins played in the school orchestra. I closed my eyes tight to capture the picture firmly in my mind. Someday, I’ll sit up there, I vowed silently.
It was not a good year. At harvest the crops didn’t bring as much as we had hoped. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?”
“Can’t you use Suzanne’s?”
“I’d like to be in the orchestra too, and we can’t both use the same violin at the same time.”
Daddy’s face looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family prayers, “… and Lord, Mary Lou wants her own violin.”
One evening we all sat round the table. The twins and I studied. Mother sewed and Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, George Finkle, in Columbus, Ohio. Mr Finkle, Daddy said, was a fine violinist.
When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he asked me, “Mary Lou, do you want to go with me to visit Mr Finkle?”
He drove us to Columbus and we came to a fine, old house. A tall man opened the door. He and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at once.
“Mary Lou, I’ve been hearing things about you. Your Daddy has arranged a surprise for you!” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls. Oh, to play like him, I thought.
Finishing the piece, he turned to Daddy. “I found it in a pawnshop(当铺)for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary Lou should be able to make a beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me.
注意:
1. 所续写短文词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally comprehended. It was mine!

Cathy was on holiday in Hong Kong, walking for hours every day, when her foot started to hurt. She hadn’t fallen or injured herself but it was so painful that she went to see a doctor. She was shocked to discover she had broken a bone in her foot Worried about her bone strength, Cathy’s doctor sent her for a bone density test. It turned out Cathy had osteopenia (骨量减少), the early stage to osteoporosis (骨质疏松症). She wasn’t prepared for that. “I was just shocked. I truly believed osteoporosis was an old person’s disease.”
That’s a common assumption, says Associate Professor Peter Wong, head of rheumatology (风湿病学) at Westmead Hospital in Sydney. He says it’s also common for people to assume osteoporosis is a condition that affects only elderly women. But osteoporosis can occur in younger women, though it is less common, and can also affect men.
So what is osteoporosis? In simple terms, Wong says, it’s when you have “thin bones”. Instead of hardy, thick bones, osteoporotic bones are at increased risk of being broken. You can even break a bone, as Cathy did, without noticeable injury.
Because osteoporosis is painless, some people discover they have it only after they’ve broken a bone and gone for a scan. While osteoporosis is common, it’s not unavoidable.
Wong says the best ways to prevent it are by consuming enough calcium and doing regular exercise. He recommends aiming for 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day. For example, a tub of yogurt or a serve of cheese is a good amount of calcium.
You also need adequate sunlight exposure, which allows skin to make vitamin D, a crucial component of strong bones, Smoking can lead to weak bones, so quitting is advised. If you have osteoporosis and have broken a bone, Wong says there are treatments available that can thicken bones and dramatically reduce your risk of a further break.
24. According to the first paragraph, why did Cathy go to see a doctor?
A. Because she had no idea why her foot hurt so much.
B. Because walking too much made her foot get injured.
C. Because she thought that a bone was broken in her foot.
D Because she knew that she was going to have osteoporosis.
25. Which of the following statements about osteoporosis is correct?
A. It is known that osteoporosis hardly affects younger people.
B. Osteopenia indicates that you are bound to have osteoporosis soon.
C. Everyone may have osteoporosis no matter the age and gender.
D. Osteoporosis makes you more painful when breaking a bone.
26. Which way can help you prevent osteoporosis effectively?
A. Sunbathe as much as possible until getting sunburnt.
B. Consume your diet with enough calcium and exercise more.
C. Try a variety of treatments or therapies and find a suitable one.
D. Go to the hospital for a bone density test occasionally.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What We Get Wrong about Osteoporosis B. Osteoporosis — an Old Person’s Disease
C. The Good Ways to Prevent Osteoporosis D. The Right Attitude Towards Osteoporosis
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Cathy was on holiday in Hong Kong, walking for hours every day, when her foot started to hurt. She hadn’t fallen or injured herself but it was so painful that she went to see a doctor. (Cathy在香港度假时,每天都步行数小时,直到有一天她的脚开始疼痛。她并没有摔倒或受伤,但疼痛难忍,于是去看了医生。)”可知,Cathy去看医生的原因是她脚疼但她却不知道为什么脚会这么疼。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That’s a common assumption, says Associate Professor Peter Wong, head of rheumatology(风湿病学)at Westmead Hospital in Sydney. He says it’s also common for people to assume osteoporosis is a condition that affects only elderly women. But osteoporosis can occur in younger women, though it is less common, and can also affect men. (悉尼韦斯特米德医院风湿病学主管、副教授Peter Wong表示,这是一种常见的误解。他还说,人们通常还认为骨质疏松症只影响老年女性,这也是一种常见的误解。但骨质疏松症也会发生在年轻女性身上,尽管不太常见,而且也会影响到男性。)”可知,骨质疏松症可以发生在任何年龄和性别的人群中,尽管某些人群更常见。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Wong says the best ways to prevent it are by consuming enough calcium and doing regular exercise. (王教授说,预防骨质疏松症的最好方法是摄取足够的钙和进行规律的运动。)”可知,预防骨质疏松症的最好方法是摄取足够的钙和进行规律的运动。故选B。

C
When it comes to leading, self-identity matters. Research has shown that seeing yourself as a leader is an important first step on the path toward becoming one — and reluctance (不情愿) to be identified as a leader can keep capable people from taking on leadership responsibilities. So, why are people so often uncomfortable with thinking of themselves as leaders? To explore this question, we conducted a series of studies with more than 1,700 participants, and we consistently found that the more people worried about the reputational risks of being a leader, the less likely they were to be identified as one. Specifically, we identified three common reputational fears: fear of seeming bossy, fear of seeming different and fear of seeming unqualified.
Many participants expressed concern about being seen as autocratic (专横的), bossy or domineering if they were to take on a leadership role. As one interviewee put it, “I wouldn’t want to seem pushy, or that I take advantage of weak people. I wouldn’t want to seem cold.” Interestingly, while much has been written on the use of negative words like “bossy” to describe female leaders, we found that in our studies, men and women were both afraid of coming across in this manner.
The second common concern was that acting as a leader would result in being singled out and receiving too much attention for being different from others — even if that attention was positive. One participant explained, “I don’t want to be looked up to. I am comfortable leading, but at the same time I want to be on the same level as everyone else. “Many people worry that if they become leaders, they will have to sacrifice their sense of belonging within the group.
Regardless of whether they actually saw themselves as qualified, many participants said that they were afraid that others would view them as unfit for leadership. As one shared, “I know people often associate certain typical images with leadership roles, so that makes me somewhat uncomfortable. I worry that if I try to pursue leadership in my field, people will not take me seriously.”
28. What does the underlined word “domineering” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Being proud of oneself. B. Not considering others’ opinions.
C. Speaking ill of other employees. D. Taking advantage of weak people.
29. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Fear of seeming bossy only fits with female leadership.
B. Both male and female worry about being seen as bossy.
C. Leaders should not care about what others think of them.
D. Female leaders are often described in negative-words.
30 What is people’s concern to be different?
A. Getting less attention from others. B. Being talked about by others.
C. Being on the same level as others. D. Lacking sense of belonging to a team.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To explain what reputational fears are. B. To encourage people to be leaders.
C. To complain about the leaders in our life. D. To explain people’s reluctance to be leaders.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“人们为何常常不愿将自己视为领导者”的问题展开探讨,通过一系列研究结果来分析和阐述造成这种现象的原因,包括三种常见的声誉担忧。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Many participants expressed concern about being seen as autocratic(专横的), bossy or domineering if they were to take on a leadership role.(许多参与者表示,如果他们要担任领导角色,就会担心被视为独裁者、专横者或……)”中的“autocratic(专横的), bossy”可推测,划线单词应该也是负面的评价,且和这两个单词意思相似。而“autocratic(专横的), bossy”都和“以自我中心,不考虑别人”相关。选项A“Being proud of oneself (为自己感到骄傲)”;选项B“Not considering others’ opinions (不考虑别人的意见)”;选项C“Speaking ill of other employees (说其他员工的坏话)”;选项D“Taking advantage of weak people (利用弱小的人)”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Interestingly, while much has been written on the use of negative words like “bossy” to describe female leaders, we found that in our studies, men and women were both afraid of coming across in this manner.(有趣的是,尽管有很多文章都在讨论用‘专横’等负面词汇来描述女性领导者,但我们的研究发现,男性和女性都害怕给人留下这样的印象。)”可知,男性和女性都担心被视为专横。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The second common concern was that acting as a leader would result in being singled out and receiving too much attention for being different from others—even if that attention was positive. One participant explained, “I don’t want to be looked up to. I am comfortable leading, but at the same time I want to be on the same level as everyone else. “Many people worry that if they become leaders, they will have to sacrifice their sense of belonging within the group.(第二个常见的担忧是,作为领导者会让自己被单独挑出来,因与众不同而受到过多关注——即使这种关注是正面的。一位参与者解释道:“我不想被仰望。我喜欢领导,但同时我也想和大家处于同一水平线上。”许多人担心,如果他们成为领导者,就必须牺牲自己在群体中的归属感。)”可知,人们对与众不同的担忧是“牺牲自己在群体中的归属感”,即“缺乏团队归属感”。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“So, why are people so often uncomfortable with thinking of themselves as leaders? To explore this question, we conducted a series of studies with more than 1, 700 participants, and we consistently found that the more people worried about the reputational risks of being a leader, the less likely they were to be identified as one. Specifically, we identified three common reputational fears: fear of seeming bossy, fear of seeming different and fear of seeming unqualified.(那么,为什么人们常常不愿将自己视为领导者呢?为了探究这个问题,我们对1700多名参与者进行了一系列研究,并始终发现,人们对成为领导者可能带来的声誉风险越担忧,他们就越不可能被认定为领导者。具体而言,我们确定了三种常见的声誉担忧:担心显得专横、担心显得与众不同以及担心显得不胜任。)”以及全文内容可知,文章详细解释了人们不愿意成为领导者的三个声誉恐惧的原因,所以整篇文章都在解释人们不愿意成为领导者的原因。故选D。
D
Violence is a central concept for describing social relationships among humans, a concept loaded with ethical and political significance. Verbal violence, most often also labeled verbal abuse, is a common variety of violence, which contains a relatively large range. of behaviors, including accusing, undermining, verbal threatening, ordering, trivializing (轻视), constant forgetting, silencing, name-calling, open criticizing. It is compatible (共存的) with other forms of violence, including physical violence and psychological violence. For instance, in most bullying behaviors we do find all three kinds of violence (and verbal violence seems to be the most essential form of violence to bullying — you can have no bullying without verbal threat.)
As with psychological violence, the question is posed of what sorts of reactions may be regarded as legitimate (合法的) with respect to verbal violence. Does a verbal threat give someone the leeway (余地) to respond with physical violence? We do find two quite distinct camps here: according to some, no act of verbal violence may justify a physically violent reaction; according to another camp, instead, verbally violent behavior may be as damaging, if not more damaging, than physically violent behaviors.
On the other hand, verbal violence may be sometimes seen also as a form of liberation for the most oppressed. The exercise of humor may be in some cases involved with some forms of verbal violence: from politically incorrect jokes to simple mocking, humor may seem a manner to exercise violence over other people. At the same time, humor is amongst the most gentle tools for social protests, as it requires no special wealth and probably causes no physical damage and need not cause great psychological distress.
The exercise of verbal violence, perhaps more than any other forms of violence, requires a continuous check on the part of the speaker of the reactions to their words: humans almost invariably end up exercising violence over each other; it is only by educating ourselves to try and keep from behaviors that our acquaintances do find violent that we may be able to live peacefully.
32. Which of the following is true about verbal violence according to the first paragraph?
A. It is not related to ethical or political issues.
B. It only includes name-calling and public criticism.
C. It can be found in most bullying behaviors.
D. It is not compatible with other forms of violence.
33. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. Legitimate response to verbal violence is of major concern.
B. Act of verbal violence justifies and authorizes a physical reaction.
C. Verbal violence is undoubtedly as destructive as physical violence.
D. Verbal violence has no essential difference with psychological violence.
34. Why is humor regarded as one of the gentlest tools for social protests?
A. Because the poor can also use humor for social protests.
B. Because it will not cost the interests of the protester.
C. Because it is more acceptable than other forms of violence.
D. Because it will only result in mild consequences.
35. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. How to respond to verbal violence properly. B. Explaining what verbal violence is.
C. How to correctly view verbal violence. D. The different types of verbal violence.

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For instance, in most bullying behaviors we do find all three kinds of violence(and verbal violence seems to be the most essential form of violence to bullying—you can have no bullying without verbal threat.)(例如,在大多数欺凌行为中,我们确实发现了这三种暴力形式(言语暴力似乎是欺凌行为中最基本的暴力形式——没有言语威胁就不可能有欺凌))”可知,言语暴力可以在大多数欺凌行为中找到。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As with psychological violence, the question is posed of what sorts of reactions may be regarded as legitimate(合法的)with respect to verbal violence. Does a verbal threat give someone the leeway(余地)to respond with physical violence? We do find two quite distinct camps here: according to some, no act of verbal violence may justify a physically violent reaction; according to another camp, instead, verbally violent behavior may be as damaging, if not more damaging, than physically violent behaviors.(就像心理暴力一样,问题在于对于言语暴力,什么样的反应可以被视为合法的。言语威胁是否给了某人以身体暴力回应的余地?在这里,我们确实发现了两个截然不同的阵营:一些人认为,任何言语暴力行为都不能成为身体暴力反应的正当理由;而另一个阵营则认为,言语暴力行为如果不比身体暴力行为更具破坏性,那么也至少同样具有破坏性。)”可知,对言语暴力的合法回应是文章的一个主要关注点。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“At the same time, humor is amongst the most gentle tools for social protests, as it requires no special wealth and probably causes no physical damage and need not cause great psychological distress.(同时,幽默是社会抗议中最温和的工具之一,因为它不需要特别的财富,可能不会造成身体伤害,也不一定会造成巨大的心理困扰。)”可知,幽默不需要特别的财富,可能不会造成身体伤害,也不一定会造成巨大的心理困扰,也就是说幽默不会损害抗议者的自身利益。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章第一段主要介绍了言语暴力的定义和表现形式;第二段讨论了对于言语暴力,什么样的反应可以被视为合法的;第三段则讨论了言语暴力在不同情境下可能产生的不同影响,并强调了对于言语暴力的实施,需要说话者不断检查其言语对他人的反应。整体来看,文章并不是在单纯地解释什么是言语暴力或列举其类型,而是在探讨如何正确地看待和处理言语暴力这一问题。故选C。

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。
In our modern economy, accelerated learning can be crucial for success. Learning faster means gaining more knowledge—quicker than others. ___36___ Anyone can learn from them and accelerate their learning process with the following techniques.
Combine Learning Styles That Play to Your Strengths
When you aim to accelerate your learning, what you choose to learn should not be limited to a curriculum or classroom structure. ___37___ Different materials along with your learning style can accelerate or slow down your comprehension process. The best learning style is the one that makes it easier to process, or comprehend ideas, and subjects faster. Once you know your learning strengths and weaknesses, you can choose learning strategies that play to your strengths.
Seek First to Understand The Basic Structure of The Topic You Choose
___38___ So you need to seek first to understand the basics. In other words, you have to get to know the tree’s root, trunk, then branch out from there. Don’t start from the branches or the leaves, pursue the root and work your way to the topic. Therefore, whatever topic you choose to learn or study, just start with the basics.
Give Yourself Plenty of Time in Both “Focused” And “Diffused”(分散)Modes
Normally, the human brain is not meant to stay in “focused” mode for hours at a time. ___39___ Consequently, when your brain is active for a very long time, you’re actually blocking your access to the diffused mode — a more relaxed state.
Therefore, diffused mode is just as valuable as the focused mode. So — just take breaks, let your mind wander, think about other things, and give your brain plenty of time to make better connections. ___40___
A. You can benefit a lot from staying focused.
B. Smart learners don’t have any special secrets.
C. You should try to choose whatever you like best.
D. Every topic or subject has a logical structure to it.
E. Then you can learn better by imposing breaks on yourself.
F. Long-lasting attention to a single task can block memory and recall.
G. You can practically choose content from many sources, experts, and authors.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些技巧以帮助人们更加有效地进行快速学习。
【36题详解】
根据空后的“Anyone can learn from them and accelerate their learning process with the following techniques. (任何人都可以向他们学习,并通过以下技巧加速他们的学习过程)”可推测,空处提到了一些会快速学习的人。选项B“Smart learners don’t have any special secrets.(聪明的学习者没有什么特别的秘密。)”中的“Smart learners”与下文的“them”保持一致,内容上也自然引出下文内容。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据标题“Combine Learning Styles That Play to Your Strengths (结合能发挥你优势的学习方式)”以及空前的“When you aim to accelerate your learning, what you choose to learn should not be limited to a curriculum or classroom structure. (当你的目标是加速你的学习,你选择学习不应该局限于课程或课堂结构)”可知,我们可以选择学习课程或课堂之外的内容;而下文“Different materials along with your learning style can accelerate or slow down your comprehension process.(根据你的学习方式选择不同的材料可以加速或减缓你的理解过程)”则指出不同的学习内容选择不同的学习方式。选项G“You can practically choose content from many sources, experts, and authors. (实际上,您可以从许多来源、专家和作者中选择内容。)”与上下文内容一致,指的是选择不同的学习内容,并采用适当的学习方式。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据下文“So you need to seek first to understand the basics. In other words, you have to get to know the tree’s root, trunk, then branch out from there. Don’t start from the branches or the leaves, pursue the root and work your way to the topic. Therefore, whatever topic you choose to learn or study, just start with the basics.(所以你需要先了解基础知识。换句话说,你必须了解树的根,树干,然后从那里伸出树枝。不要从枝叶入手,要追根溯源,直达主题。因此,无论你选择学习或研究什么主题,都要从基础开始)”可知,我们要了解自己所学内容的结构。选项D“Every topic or subject has a logical structure to it.(每个话题或主题都有一个逻辑结构。)”自然引出下文内容,指出每个话题或主题都有一个逻辑结构,所以我们应该了解自己所学内容的逻辑结构。故选D。
【39题详解】
根据空前内容“Normally, the human brain is not meant to stay in “focused” mode for hours at a time.(正常情况下,人类的大脑不会一次保持几个小时的“专注”模式)”可知,人类大脑不会一直保持专注。选项F“Long-lasting attention to a single task can block memory and recall.(长时间专注于一项任务会阻碍记忆和回忆。)”与上文内容一致,指的是人类大脑不能一直保持专注,同时引出下文“Consequently, when your brain is active for a very long time, you’re actually blocking your access to the diffused mode—a more relaxed state.(因此,当你的大脑长时间处于活跃状态时,你实际上是在阻碍你进入扩散模式——一种更放松的状态)”。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文内容“Therefore, diffused mode is just as valuable as the focused mode. So—just take breaks, let your mind wander, think about other things, and give your brain plenty of time to make better connections.(因此,扩散模式和聚焦模式一样有价值。所以,只要休息一下,让你的思想游离,想想其他事情,给你的大脑足够的时间来建立更好的联系)”可知,上文提出我们应该劳逸结合。选项E“Then you can learn better by imposing breaks on yourself.(然后你可以通过给自己一些休息时间来学得更好。)”与上文内容相符,指出休息会让学习效果更好。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了烟卡在中国校园内引发的担忧。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:烟卡越来越流行,对中国各地的校园产生了巨大影响,引起了家长和教育者的严重担忧。“(cause) serious concern among parents and educators”作伴随状语,cause(引起)是非谓语动词,与逻辑主语A growing craze for cigarette cards构成主动关系,故用现在分词表主动,作状语。故填causing。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:虽然这些卡片看起来是一种无害的消遣方式,但它们会让儿童在脆弱的年龄接触到烟草品牌和吸烟行为,有可能产生终身的后果。提示词修饰名词pastime,用形容词harmless作定语,表示“无害的”。故填harmless。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:虽然这些卡片看起来是一种无害的消遣方式,但它们会让儿童在脆弱的年龄接触到烟草品牌和吸烟行为,有可能产生终身的后果。提示词修饰动词leading,用副词potentially作状语,表示“可能地”。故填potentially。
【59题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:中国是世界上最大的烟草消费国,多年来一直在努力控制吸烟,包括在某些场所禁止吸烟。take(遭受,经受)是谓语动词,结合时间状语“over the years”可知应用现在完成时,主语为China,助动词用has。故填has taken。
【60题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:中国是世界上最大的烟草消费国,多年来一直在努力控制吸烟,包括在某些特定场所禁止吸烟。facility(场所)为可数名词,结合常识可知,禁止场所不止一处,用复数形式facilities作宾语。故填facilities。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在它再次流行的时候,孩子们收集从烟盒上剪下来的卡片,然后在一个游戏中比赛,把它们拍在地上,试图翻过对手的卡片。可数名词game表示“一种游戏”,泛指,且game是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【62题详解】
考查固定句型和比较级。句意:他们越喜欢香烟品牌,这张卡片在玩家眼中就越有价值。“the+比较级,the+比较级”是固定句型,意为“越……,越……”。故填more valuable。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在上海、北京和广州等城市,这导致了一种等级制度,孩子们根据他们能够接触到的香烟品牌来互相排名。“ children rank each other based on the cigarette brands they can access”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a hierarchy,先行词在从句中作地点状语,表示“在这种等级制度中”,是模糊地点,用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:家长和老师需要了解与烟卡相关的风险,并应积极劝阻孩子参与这些游戏。“(associate) with cigarette cards”作后置定语,associate(联想,联系)是非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语risks构成被动关系,故用过去分词表被动。故填associated。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:家长和老师需要了解与烟卡相关的风险,并应积极劝阻孩子参与这些游戏。discourage sb. from doing sth.是固定搭配,意为“阻止某人做某事”。故填from。

67. 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。
“Wanted: Violin. Can’t pay much. Contact…”
I rarely read the classified advertisements, so why did I notice that one? I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, during the Great Depression when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin.
When my older twin sisters began showing an interest in music, Harriet Anne learned to play Grandma’s piano, while Suzanne turned to Daddy’s violin. Simple tunes became lovely melodies. My baby brother danced; Daddy hummed and Mother whistled. I just listened.
When my arms grew long enough, I tried to play Suzanne’s violin. Oh, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question.
One evening as the twins played in the school orchestra. I closed my eyes tight to capture the picture firmly in my mind. Someday, I’ll sit up there, I vowed silently.
It was not a good year. At harvest the crops didn’t bring as much as we had hoped. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn’t wait any longer to ask, “Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?”
“Can’t you use Suzanne’s?”
“I’d like to be in the orchestra too, and we can’t both use the same violin at the same time.”
Daddy’s face looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God in our family prayers, “… and Lord, Mary Lou wants her own violin.”
One evening we all sat round the table. The twins and I studied. Mother sewed and Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, George Finkle, in Columbus, Ohio. Mr Finkle, Daddy said, was a fine violinist.
When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he asked me, “Mary Lou, do you want to go with me to visit Mr Finkle?”
He drove us to Columbus and we came to a fine, old house. A tall man opened the door. He and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at once.
“Mary Lou, I’ve been hearing things about you. Your Daddy has arranged a surprise for you!” He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls. Oh, to play like him, I thought.
Finishing the piece, he turned to Daddy. “I found it in a pawnshop(当铺)for seven dollars. It’s a good violin. Mary Lou should be able to make a beautiful music with it.” Then he handed the violin to me.
注意:
1. 所续写短文词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph 1:
I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally comprehended. It was mine!

Paragraph 2:
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I noticed the tears in Daddy’s eyes as I finally comprehended. It was mine! “It’s beautiful.” I said, barely breathing. I knew Daddy’s prayer, and mine, had been answered. Back home, I practiced daily, feeling no tiredness. When I was ready to join the school orchestra, I trembled with excitement. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly in the audience at their little girl who held her cherished violin for the whole world to admire. The years seemed to run more swiftly then. I packed my violin in its case and stepped into the grown-up world. Nurse’s training, marriage, working, bringing up four daughters filled my years. Yet none of my children cared about the violin.
Paragraph 2:
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement. Laying the paper aside, I went to find my violin. And I dialed the number. Later that afternoon, an old car stopped in my driveway. A man in his thirties with a young girl knocked on the door. “I’ve been praying someone would answer my advertisement. My daughter wants a violin so badly.” He said, “How much are you asking?” “Seven dollars,” I said. I handed the case to the girl. She opened the case and touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon sun. Then she threw her arms round her smiling father.
