To help you pick a vacation spot, use this list of the best summer vacations to help you plan your getaway. Paris Daytime temperatures in the 70s makes summer one of the best times to wander around the City of Light. Dine alfresco at a cafe along the Champs-Elysees, or have a picnic at the Luxembourg Gardens or on the lawns in front of the Eiffel Tower. The only cons: bigger crowds and higher prices on hotel rooms. You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists. Great Barrier Reef Australia’s Great Barrier Reef offers some of the most scenic snorkeling and diving on the globe at hot spots like Osprey Reef and Heron Island. And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. However, you don’t have to be a diver to fully enjoy this region. Sailing on the open ocean and kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach will no doubt satisfy relaxation seekers. London Get down to London town for your next summer vacation. Spend your days touring the grounds of Buckingham Palace and admiring London’s green spaces from above with a ride on the London Eve. Though temperatures historically sit in the 70s during these warmer months, heat waves bringing weather in the 90s aren’t unprecedented (史无前例的). If you’re willing to deal with some heat-and the crowds the season brings-you are guaranteed to have a jolly good trip. 1. Which way can help save money in Paris? A. Booking a vacation rental. B. Having a picnic at the Eiffel Tower. C. Visiting the Louvre first thing in the morning. D. Dining alfresco at a cafe along the Champs-Elysees. 2. What activity can’t you experience in Great Barrier Reef? A. Snorkeling in the ocean. B. Sailing on the ocean. C. Admiring green spaces. D. Relaxing on the beach. 3. What is the similar travelling problem encountered in Paris and London? A. High hotel prices. B. Extreme heat waves. C. Crowded tourist sites. D. Limited access to popular attractions 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。这篇文章提供了三个夏季旅行目的地的建议。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段Paris部分中“You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists.(为了省钱，你可以考虑租一间度假屋，而且你应该计划在早上的第一件事就是去参观世界著名的景点，比如卢浮宫，以避开大量的游客)”可知，在巴黎预订度假房屋可以省钱。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Great Barrier Reef部分中“Australia’s Great Barrier Reef offers some of the most scenic snorkeling and diving on the globe at hot spots like Osprey Reef and Heron Island. And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. However, you don’t have to be a diver to fully enjoy this region. Sailing on the open ocean and kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach will no doubt satisfy relaxation seekers.(澳大利亚的大堡礁在鱼鹰礁和苍鹭岛等热点地区提供了一些全球最美丽的浮潜和潜水场所。信不信由你，你的旅游收入可以帮助保护这个迅速消失的自然奇观。然而，你不必成为一名潜水员来充分享受这一地区。在开阔的海洋上航行，在圣灵群岛的海滩上放松，无疑会满足寻求放松的人)”可知，文中提到在大堡礁可以进行浮潜（snorkeling）、在海上航行（sailing）以及在海滩上放松（relaxing），但没有提到欣赏绿地（admiring green spaces）。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段Paris部分中“The only cons: bigger crowds and higher prices on hotel rooms. You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists.(唯一的缺点是人群更拥挤，酒店房间的价格更高。为了省钱，你可以考虑租一间度假屋，而且你应该计划在早上的第一件事就是去参观世界著名的景点，比如卢浮宫，以避开大量的游客)”以及第四段London部分中“If you’re willing to deal with some heat-and the crowds the season brings-you are guaranteed to have a jolly good trip.(如果你愿意忍受高温和这个季节带来的拥挤，你一定会有一个愉快的旅行)”可知，两个城市都会遇到拥挤的旅游地点这一相似的旅行问题。故选C。 B One spring morning many years ago, I was on southeastern Alaska’s Kupreanof Island when I saw a huge wolf caught in a trap. From her appearance, I realized it was a mother wolf and that somewhere hungry pups (小崽) were waiting for her. I guessed she had been trapped only a few days. So her pups were probably still alive, hungry, surely no more than a few miles away. But I thought if I released the wolf, she would tear me to pieces. So I decided to search for her pups instead. Following some footprints, I finally found four tiny pups. One by one, I placed them in a bag and headed back. When the mother wolf spotted me, she stood up, possibly picking up the smell of her young. I released the pups, and they raced to her. What next? I wondered. The mother wolf was clearly suffering. Yet each time I moved in her direction, she let out a threatening sound. I put up a shelter for myself and was soon asleep nearby. At dawn, I was awakened by the four pups sniffing at my face and hands. I glanced toward the anxious mother wolf. If only I could win her confidence, I thought. It was her only hope. Over the next few days, I fed her, talked gently with her and played with the pups. But the big animal never took her eyes off me. When I was beginning to lose hope, at dusk on the fifth day, I saw a wagging (摇摆) of her tail. I moved within the length of her chain. She remained still. My heart in my mouth, I slowly placed my hand on the wolf’s injured leg. “OK,” I said, “We’ll have you out of there.” I pressed and the trap sprang open, the wolf pulled free. Slowly, she headed toward me. She smelled my hands and arms and then began licking my fingers. I was astonished. This went against everything I’d ever heard about wolves. Yet, strangely, it all seemed so natural. 4. What did the writer do after he discovered the mother wolf? A He looked for the pups B. He set up a trap. C. He put the wolf in a bag. D. He frightened off the wolf. 5. Why did the writer stay with the wolves for 5 days? A. To study the habit of the wolves. B. To gain the trust of the mother wolf. C. To witness the growth of the pups. D. To experience the charm of the wild 6. How did the writer feel when he was trying to remove the trap? A. Nervous. B. Proud. C. Relieved. D. Hopeless. 7. What can we learn form the passage? A. creatures are born equal B. mother should be responsible C. wagging wolves seldom bite D. kindness deserves acceptance 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述了作者在阿拉斯加东南部的库普雷阿诺夫岛上帮助被困母狼及小狼崽经历。通过人与狼之间的互动，强调了人类与自然和谐共存的可能性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“So I decided to search for her pups instead.(所以我决定去找她的幼崽)”可知，作者发现母狼后决定去寻找她的狼崽。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“If only I could win her confidence, I thought. It was her only hope. Over the next few days, I fed her, talked gently with her and played with the pups. (我想，要是我能赢得她的信任就好了。这是她唯一的希望。在接下来的几天里，我喂她，温柔地和她说话，和幼崽玩耍)”可知，作者如何通过喂食、交谈和玩耍来赢得母狼的信任，由此可知，作者与狼共处五天是为了获取母狼的信任。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“My heart in my mouth, I slowly placed my hand on the wolf’s injured leg. “OK,”I said, “We’ll have you out of there.” I pressed and the trap sprang open, the wolf pulled free.(我的心都提到嗓子眼儿了，我慢慢地把手放在狼受伤的腿上。“好吧，”我说，“我们会把你救出来的。”我按了一下，陷阱弹开了，狼挣脱了)”可知，作者在尝试移除陷阱时感到紧张。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Slowly, she headed toward me. She smelled my hands and arms and then began licking my fingers. I was astonished. This went against everything I’d ever heard about wolves. Yet, strangely, it all seemed so natural.(她慢慢地向我走来。她闻了闻我的手和胳膊，然后开始舔我的手指。我很吃惊。这和我所听说的关于狼的一切都不一样。然而，奇怪的是，这一切似乎都很自然)”可知，作者的惊讶和自然的感受表明他的善行被狼接受，尤其是当狼开始舔他的手指时，这表明了善意得到了接受。故选D。 C TikTok, the widely popular social media platform, has taken the world by storm with its short-form videos and addictive content. But did you know that there is also a Chinese version of TikTok? The Chinese version of TikTok is called Douyin, and it has quickly become one of the most widely used apps in China. Launched in 2016 by Beijing-based tech company ByteDance, Douyin has attracted an enormous user base and reshaped the social media landscape in China. So, how did Douyin gain such vast popularity in China? One of the factors contributing to Douyin’s success is the large population of smartphone users in China. With over 1.4 billion people, China has a massive user base for social media platforms. Additionally, the rise in internet penetration(渗透) and the availability of affordable smartphones have made it easier for people to access and use Douyin. Douyin takes advantage of China’s culture of sharing and enjoying bite-sized content. In China, there has always been a strong demand for short-form entertainment, including popular formats like variety shows, quick comedy skits, and music videos. Douyin provides a platform for users to easily create and share short videos, allowing them to express their creativity and talent. Douyin leverages the power of social network effects. Users can follow each other, like and comment on videos, and engage with a large community of like-minded individuals. This sense of belonging and community encourages them to spend more time on the platform. Moreover, Douyin continuously improves its features and algorithms (算法) to enhance user experience and keep users engaged. The app uses advanced AI technology to analyze user preferences and provide personalized recommendations, ensuring that users see content that is relevant and interesting to them. Overall, the rise of the Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, can be attributed (归因于) to a combination of factors, including the large smartphone user base, the popularity of short-form entertainment in China, social network effects, and continuous improvements in features a and algorithms. 8. How is Douyin different from TikTok? A. Its rules. B. Its target groups. C. Its user experience. D. Its main functions. 9. Which of the following is one of the factors of Douyin’s success in China? A. The popularity of long-form videos. B. The large population of smartphone users. C. The low technology requirements to Douyin. D. The availability of different brands of mobile phones. 10. What does the underlined word “leverages” mean in Paragraph 6? A. brings about. B. believes in. C. makes up for. D. makes full use of. 11. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To suggest people use Douyin. B. To advocate more people to buy smartphones. C. To introduce more information about Douyin. D. To encourage us to learn to make short videos. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了TikTok的中国版——抖音（Douyin）在中国取得巨大成功的原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“TikTok, the widely popular social media platform, has taken the world by storm with its short-form videos and addictive content.(TikTok，这个广受欢迎的社交媒体平台，凭借其短视频和令人上瘾的内容风靡全球。)”和第二段“The Chinese version of TikTok is called Douyin, and it has quickly become one of the most widely used apps in China.(TikTok的中国版被称为抖音，它已迅速成为中国使用最广泛的应用之一。)”可知，抖音（Douyin）和TikTok的主要区别在于它们的目标用户群体。抖音主要针对中国市场，而TikTok则在全球范围内使用。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One of the factors contributing to Douyin’s success is the large population of smartphone users in China.(抖音成功的因素之一是中国庞大的智能手机用户群体。)”可知，抖音在中国成功的一个关键因素，即庞大的智能手机用户群体。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Users can follow each other, like and comment on videos, and engage with a large community of like-minded individuals. This sense of belonging and community encourages them to spend more time on the platform.(用户可以互相关注、点赞和评论视频，并与大量志同道合人互动。这种归属感和社区感鼓励他们在平台上花费更多时间。)”可知，抖音利用了社交网络效应的力量，让用户之间可以互动，从而鼓励用户在平台上花费更多时间，所以“leverages”在此处表示“充分利用”，与D项：makes full use of意思一致。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是文章最后一段“Overall, the rise of the Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, can be attributed (归因于) to a combination of factors, including the large smartphone user base, the popularity of short-form entertainment in China, social network effects, and continuous improvements in features a and algorithms. (总体而言，TikTok中国版（抖音）的崛起可以归因于多重因素的共同作用，包括庞大的智能手机用户基数、短视频娱乐在中国的流行、社交网络效应以及功能和算法的持续改进。)”可知，文章主要介绍了抖音（Douyin）在中国取得巨大成功的原因，包括智能手机用户基数、短视频娱乐的流行、社交网络效应以及功能和算法的持续改进等。因此，作者的写作目的是介绍更多关于抖音的信息，选项C“介绍更多关于抖音的信息”是正确的。故选C。 D Children with strong family connections are associated with a high likelihood of flourishing in life, a study found. “What is different about this study is that it shows that family connection is associated with thriving and not just surviving or avoiding harm,” said lead study author Dr. Robert Whitaker. Researchers surveyed over 37,000 children in 26 countries. In the study, family connection was determined by a mean score of five categories: care, support, safety, respect, and participation. Flourishing was determined by a mean score of six categories: self-acceptance, purpose in life, positive relations with others, personal growth, environmental mastery and autonomy. The essence of family connection is children feeling that they are accepted and cared for at home, which allows them to learn what their strengths and weaknesses are in a safe environment as they are building their identity, Whitaker said. Children with the greatest level of family connection were over 49% more likely to flourish compared with those with the lowest level of family connection, according to the study. The highest scores in both family connection and flourishing came from children who said they lived with both bar rents, had enough food or never had their family worrying about finances. Researchers then controlled the data for families’ poverty levels to remove the effect they might have had on the numbers. After controlling the data, the strength of family connection still impacted how much children flourished. According to Whitaker, adults have a very powerful influence on the emotional climate in the home, so it’s important to create a space where children feel seen and heard. A great opportunity to strengthen family bonds is around the dinner table. Adults should create an environment where children feel comfortable speaking freely. While they are talking, grown-ups should show that they have a genuine interest in what their children are saying. Silence is also another powerful form of communication, Whitaker said. Children and parents spending time together in silence or even doing chores can create a connection. 12. What is the study mainly about? A. The importance of family connection to children’s survival. B. The relationship between family connection and children’s success. C. The factors affecting children’ self-acceptance. D. The impact of poverty on children’s development. 13. Who are more likely to achieve high scores in both family connection and flourishing? A. Children who live with a single parent. B. Children who have enough food and money. C. Children who know of their strengths and weaknesses. D. Children who have a whole family and economic security. 14. Which of the following might be an influencing factor in the result? A. Family income. B. Parents’ educational level. C. Children’s age and gender. D. The number of people in the family. 15. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Family Connection and Child Survival B. Poverty’s Effect on Child Development C. Family Dynamics and Children’s Self-Esteem. D. Family Connection and Child Flourishing 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了了一项关于家庭联系与儿童发展的研究。研究发现，与家庭联系紧密的儿童更有可能在生活中茁壮成长，获得成功。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What is different about this study is that it shows that family connection is associated with thriving and not just surviving or avoiding harm(这项研究的不同之处在于，它表明家庭联系与与小孩茁壮成长获得成功相关，而不仅仅是与生存或避免伤害相关)”，由此可知，这项研究的主要内容是家庭关系和孩子的成功之间的关系。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The highest scores in both family connection and flourishing came from children who said they lived with both bar rents, had enough food or never had their family worrying about finances(在家庭联系和幸福感方面得分最高的孩子是那些表示与双亲同住、食物充足或从未让家人担心财务问题的孩子)”可知，有完整的家庭和经济保障的孩子们更有可能在家庭关系和个人发展两方面都获得高分。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers then controlled the data for families’ poverty levels to remove the effect they might have had on the numbers(研究人员随后对数据进行了控制，以消除家庭贫困水平可能对数字产生的影响)”可知，研究中将家庭收入水平这个因素进行控制，因为这可能是影响研究结果的因素。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。这篇说明文围绕第一段的研究发现“Children with strong family connections are associated with a high likelihood of flourishing in life, a study found(研究发现，与家庭关系紧密的孩子在生活中蓬勃发展的可能性较高)”展开，主要介绍这一结论如何得出及该结论对父母的意义。选项D 准确捕捉了文章主题，即家庭联系与儿童在生活中的茁壮发展之间的联系。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 So you want to know how to look more confident and think body language is the key?

Now it was time to go back to my parents in Delhi before joining school again. Granny asked my uncle Ken, her thirty-year-old unmarried son, to take me to the station and put me on the train to Delhi. Uncle Ken carried out the instruction, and even bought me chocolate, consuming most of it himself while telling me how to prepare for my exams effectively. The train pulled out of the station, and we waved goodbye to each other. An hour later, I discovered to my horror that I wasn’t on the train to Delhi but on the train to Lucknow, over 300 miles in the opposite direction. One passenger suggested I get off at the next station; another said it wouldn’t be safe for a little boy at night. “Wait till we get to Lucknow,” advised a third passenger. “Then give your grandparents a call.” The next morning, the train steamed into Lucknow. One passenger kindly took me to the stationmaster’s office. After knowing my problem, the stationmaster, Mr Ghosh, said, “Yes, we must call your grandparents. And I’ll take you to my home.” Mr Ghosh’s house was just behind the station. He offered me milky tea and said, “Now let me show you my family.” He led me to his backyard. There I was amazed to find a small toy railway with a station, a railway office, etc. Nearby was a small amusement park, with swings and carousels (旋转木马). Many white mice were playing there, running in and out of tunnels, climbing onto a toy train. Mr Ghosh pressed a button and the little train, crowded with white mice, left the station and went shouting off to the backyard’s corner. “That’s my hobby for many years. What do you think of it?” Mr Ghosh said, while feeding them with biscuits. I replied that the mice and the train were lovely. “Great,” he smiled. Then, he went to his office to call my grandfather. 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。 Soon, he returned, saying my grandfather would arrive that evening. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the train began moving, Mr Ghosh gave me a box, saying, “A present for you!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Soon, he returned, saying my grandfather would arrive that evening. In relief, I began helping feed the mice, and then watched Mr Ghosh operate the toy train. All mice were playing happily. By the time Grandfather arrived, I had consumed many treats offered by Mr Ghosh and fallen asleep in his room. I woke up to find Mr Ghosh busily showing Grandfather his little railway and group of mice. When Grandfather and I boarded the train returning, Mr Ghosh came to the window to say goodbye. As the train began moving, Mr Ghosh gave me a box, saying, “A present for you!” After the train moved off, I opened the box, finding two white mice. I was glad and cheerful. Back in Dehra, Uncle Ken was embarrassed to face me. Granny had given him a lecture on how to be responsible, but I still wanted “revenge”! I secretly released the mice under his bed sheet. Later, he rushed out of his room, screaming that something soft was running inside his pajamas. We all burst out laughing. I went back to Delhi the next day.

To help you pick a vacation spot, use this list of the best summer vacations to help you plan your getaway. Paris Daytime temperatures in the 70s makes summer one of the best times to wander around the City of Light. Dine alfresco at a cafe along the Champs-Elysees, or have a picnic at the Luxembourg Gardens or on the lawns in front of the Eiffel Tower. The only cons: bigger crowds and higher prices on hotel rooms. You may want to consider a vacation rental to save money, and you should plan to visit world-renowned attractions like the Louvre first thing in the morning to avoid a great many tourists. Great Barrier Reef Australia’s Great Barrier Reef offers some of the most scenic snorkeling and diving on the globe at hot spots like Osprey Reef and Heron Island. And, believe it or not, your tourism dollars can help protect this quickly disappearing natural wonder. However, you don’t have to be a diver to fully enjoy this region. Sailing on the open ocean and kicking back on a Whitsunday Islands beach will no doubt satisfy relaxation seekers. London Get down to London town for your next summer vacation. Spend your days touring the grounds of Buckingham Palace and admiring London’s green spaces from above with a ride on the London Eve. Though temperatures historically sit in the 70s during these warmer months, heat waves bringing weather in the 90s aren’t unprecedented (史无前例的).

Limited access to popular attractions B One spring morning many years ago, I was on southeastern Alaska’s Kupreanof Island when I saw a huge wolf caught in a trap. From her appearance, I realized it was a mother wolf and that somewhere hungry pups (小崽) were waiting for her. I guessed she had been trapped only a few days. So her pups were probably still alive, hungry, surely no more than a few miles away. But I thought if I released the wolf, she would tear me to pieces. So I decided to search for her pups instead. Following some footprints, I finally found four tiny pups. One by one, I placed them in a bag and headed back. When the mother wolf spotted me, she stood up, possibly picking up the smell of her young. I released the pups, and they raced to her. What next? I wondered. The mother wolf was clearly suffering. Yet each time I moved in her direction, she let out a threatening sound. I put up a shelter for myself and was soon asleep nearby. At dawn, I was awakened by the four pups sniffing at my face and hands. I glanced toward the anxious mother wolf. If only I could win her confidence, I thought. It was her only hope. Over the next few days, I fed her, talked gently with her and played with the pups. But the big animal never took her eyes off me. When I was beginning to lose hope, at dusk on the fifth day, I saw a wagging (摇摆) of her tail. I moved within the length of her chain. She remained still. My heart in my mouth, I slowly placed my hand on the wolf’s injured leg. “OK,” I said, “We’ll have you out of there.” I pressed and the trap sprang open, the wolf pulled free. Slowly, she headed toward me. She smelled my hands and arms and then began licking my fingers. I was astonished. This went against everything I’d ever heard about wolves. Yet, strangely, it all seemed so natural. 4. What did the writer do after he discovered the mother wolf? A. He looked for the pups B. He set up a trap. C. He put the wolf in a bag. D.

But did you know that there is also a Chinese version of TikTok? The Chinese version of TikTok is called Douyin, and it has quickly become one of the most widely used apps in China. Launched in 2016 by Beijing-based tech company ByteDance, Douyin has attracted an enormous user base and reshaped the social media landscape in China. So, how did Douyin gain such vast popularity in China? One of the factors contributing to Douyin’s success is the large population of smartphone users in China. With over 1.4 billion people, China has a massive user base for social media platforms. Additionally, the rise in internet penetration(渗透) and the availability of affordable smartphones have made it easier for people to access and use Douyin. Douyin takes advantage of China’s culture of sharing and enjoying bite-sized content. In China, there has always been a strong demand for short-form entertainment, including popular formats like variety shows, quick comedy skits, and music videos. Douyin provides a platform for users to easily create and share short videos, allowing them to express their creativity and talent. Douyin leverages the power of social network effects. Users can follow each other, like and comment on videos, and engage with a large community of like-minded individuals. This sense of belonging and community encourages them to spend more time on the platform. Moreover, Douyin continuously improves its features and algorithms (算法) to enhance user experience and keep users engaged. The app uses advanced AI technology to analyze user preferences and provide personalized recommendations, ensuring that users see content that is relevant and interesting to them. Overall, the rise of the Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, can be attributed (归因于) to a combination of factors, including the large smartphone user base, the popularity of short-form entertainment in China, social network effects, and continuous improvements in features a and algorithms. 8. How is Douyin different from TikTok? A. Its rules. B. Its target groups. C. Its user experience. D. Its main functions. 9. Which of the following is one of the factors of Douyin’s success in China?

To suggest people use Douyin. B. To advocate more people to buy smartphones. C. To introduce more information about Douyin. D. To encourage us to learn to make short videos. D Children with strong family connections are associated with a high likelihood of flourishing in life, a study found. “What is different about this study is that it shows that family connection is associated with thriving and not just surviving or avoiding harm,” said lead study author Dr. Robert Whitaker. Researchers surveyed over 37,000 children in 26 countries. In the study, family connection was determined by a mean score of five categories: care, support, safety, respect, and participation. Flourishing was determined by a mean score of six categories: self-acceptance, purpose in life, positive relations with others, personal growth, environmental mastery and autonomy. The essence of family connection is children feeling that they are accepted and cared for at home, which allows them to learn what their strengths and weaknesses are in a safe environment as they are building their identity, Whitaker said. Children with the greatest level of family connection were over 49% more likely to flourish compared with those with the lowest level of family connection, according to the study. The highest scores in both family connection and flourishing came from children who said they lived with both bar rents, had enough food or never had their family worrying about finances. Researchers then controlled the data for families’ poverty levels to remove the effect they might have had on the numbers. After controlling the data, the strength of family connection still impacted how much children flourished. According to Whitaker, adults have a very powerful influence on the emotional climate in the home, so it’s important to create a space where children feel seen and heard. A great opportunity to strengthen family bonds is around the dinner table. Adults should create an environment where children feel comfortable speaking freely. While they are talking, grown-ups should show that they have a genuine interest in what their children are saying. Silence is also another powerful form of communication, Whitaker said. Children and parents spending time together in silence or even doing chores can create a connection. 12. What is the study mainly about? A The importance of family connection to children’s survival. B. The relationship between family connection and children’s success. C The factors affecting children’ self-acceptance. D. The impact of poverty on children’s development. 13. Who are more likely to achieve high scores in both family connection and flourishing? A. Children who live with a single parent. B. Children who have enough food and money. C Children who know of their strengths and weaknesses. D. Children who have a whole family and economic security. 14. Which of the following might be an influencing factor in the result? A. Family income. B. Parents’ educational level. C. Children’s age and gender. D. The number of people in the family. 15 What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Family Connection and Child Survival B. Poverty’s Effect on Child Development C. Family Dynamics and Children’s Self-Esteem. D. Family Connection and Child Flourishing 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 So you want to know how to look more confident and think body language is the key?

Now it was time to go back to my parents in Delhi before joining school again. Granny asked my uncle Ken, her thirty-year-old unmarried son, to take me to the station and put me on the train to Delhi. Uncle Ken carried out the instruction, and even bought me chocolate, consuming most of it himself while telling me how to prepare for my exams effectively. The train pulled out of the station, and we waved goodbye to each other. An hour later, I discovered to my horror that I wasn’t on the train to Delhi but on the train to Lucknow, over 300 miles in the opposite direction. One passenger suggested I get off at the next station; another said it wouldn’t be safe for a little boy at night. “Wait till we get to Lucknow,” advised a third passenger. “Then give your grandparents a call.” The next morning, the train steamed into Lucknow. One passenger kindly took me to the stationmaster’s office. After knowing my problem, the stationmaster, Mr Ghosh, said, “Yes, we must call your grandparents. And I’ll take you to my home.” Mr Ghosh’s house was just behind the station. He offered me milky tea and said, “Now let me show you my family.” He led me to his backyard. There I was amazed to find a small toy railway with a station, a railway office, etc. Nearby was a small amusement park, with swings and carousels (旋转木马). Many white mice were playing there, running in and out of tunnels, climbing onto a toy train. Mr Ghosh pressed a button, and the little train, crowded with white mice, left the station and went shouting off to the backyard’s corner. “That’s my hobby for many years. What do you think of it?” Mr Ghosh said, while feeding them with biscuits. I replied that the mice and the train were lovely. “Great,” he smiled. Then, he went to his office to call my grandfather. 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。 Soon, he returned, saying my grandfather would arrive that evening. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the train began moving, Mr Ghosh gave me a box, saying, “A present for you!” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
