The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat — tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
21. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?
A. 104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
22. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest?
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
23. What do the listed stadiums have in common?
A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions.
C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects.
B
LeBron James is the new all-time scoring leader of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
He set the record with a jump shot (得分) in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers game Tuesday night against Oklahoma City. James pushed his career total to 38,388 points and passed the scoring record that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had held for nearly 39 years.
After he made the shot for his 36th point of the night, James threw both hands in the air, and then smiled. Abdul-Jabbar sat up from his seal and clapped. The game stopped as members of James’ family, including his mother, his wife and their three children, went to the court for a ceremony honoring the moment.
“I’m there now because I never, ever thought about it,” James said, when asked what the scoring record meant to him.“The only thing I ever thought about was winning championships. But scoring championships and records, I’m telling you, was never on my mind.”
Abdul-Jabbar was a longtime player for the Lakers. He became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on April 5, 1984 and retired (退休) in 1989 with 38,387 points. It was a record that some thought would last forever, with very few coming close. Great basketball players, including Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan retired when they were still thousands of points away.
James, who is 38 years old, passed all of them and set the record in his 20th season. Abdul-Jabbar also played 20 NBA seasons.
During the on-court ceremony, Abdul-Jabbar handed a ball to James, showing a passing of the torch(火炬). James wiped away tears from his eyes and thanked the crowd. He also thanked his family and those who supported him, including NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the late NBA Commissioner David Stern.
“I thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of something I’ve always dreamed about,” James said.
24. What did James’ jump shot mean?
A. A new record was born. B. His team won the game.
C. He made the longest shot. D. It was the key shot of the game.
25. W hy did the basketball match stop in the middle?
A. To give James time to recover. B. To have a celebration.
C. To drive out basketball fans. D. To change team members.
26. What do James and Abdul-Jabbar have in common?
A. They competed at the same time.
B. They created records by accident.
C They set the record at the same age.
D. They played the same number of seasons for the record.
27. Why did Abdul-Jabbar hand a ball to James?
A. He admitted his failure. B. He announced his retirement.
C. He passed his title on to James. D. He expected to get it redesigned.
C
Nara is a popular destination for visitors to Japan and it is home to around 1, 000 blessed deer, which are officially considered as a national natural treasure in Japan and the image of the city. Many tourists like them and feed them treats. In July 2019, however, nine deer were found dead with plastic bags in their stomachs. Locals called on visitors not to throw away plastic bags in the park.
Hidetoshi Matsukawa, who works at tourism, wanted to come up with a different way to deal with the problem, and teamed up with a local paper maker and a design firm to work on the project.
They developed “Shikagami” or deer paper, which is made from rice bran (糠) and milk boxes. They learned rice bran is mostly wasted in the processing of rice and this paper helps to reduce that waste as well.
Matsukawa has had the deer paper bags tested and says they are safe for human use. “We do not have the data to support that this paper is not harmful to deer, but this is safe for them as well as for human beings,” he said, laughing.
The bags have since been tested at local banks and the Todaiji temple, Nara’s main tourist attraction. The temple and banks bought 4, 000—5, 000 of the bags for 100 yen (around 95 cents) each as part of the pilot project. The price will fall if more businesses sign up to use the bags, said Matsukawa, who dreams of replacing plastic bags across the city to prevent more deer from dying after eating them.
“The news about the death of deer by plastic bags creates a bad influence, as though the park is a cemetery (墓地) for deer,” he said. “The paper bags can protect deer, as well as the image of Nara with deer.”
28. What happened to the blessed deer?
A. They were accepted as the image of Japan. B. They were harmed by plastic bags.
C. They got into the danger of dying out. D. They didn’t get enough food from tourists.
29. What did Matsukawa do with the problem of the deer’s death?
A. He prohibited visitors from feeding the deer.
B. He kept the deer away from humans.
C. He set up a deer protection organization.
D. He developed a new kind of paper.
30. What can we learn about deer paper from Matsukawa’s words?
A. It is sure to be harmless to all animals.
B. It can only be used to protect blessed deer.
C. It has passed the safety tests for human use.
D. It is unsatisfactory for environmental protection.
31. What is Matsukawa’s wish about deer paper bags?
A. They will be sold at higher prices. B. They will be used around the world.
C. They will be reused for more times. D. They will be widely used in the city.
D
Seismometer (地震仪) stations not only sense ground shaking due to earthquakes but also signals at the surface of our planet, such as storms and — as the researchers discovered — also floods. For this research, scientists turned an earthquake seismometer station near the town of Ahrweiler in Germany into a flood tracking tool. Using seismological information from the time of the event, they can tell people about the disaster in a timely way.
As the town of Ahrweiler took the full force of a flood, scientists found the seismometer exactly showed the track of the flood for one hour. By comparing mathematical models, the researchers were able to estimate (估算) the speed with which the flood moved. In fact, this was the only systematic source of measurable information about how the flood developed because the three present water level stations in the town were out of service early.
As the research shows, this method can provide information that is valuable to track flood for warning and rescue activities. “If the data from that station is available (可用的) and as our research now shows, real time information on the magnitude and speed of the flood will be available as well, ”says Dr Michael Dietze at the University of Gottingen. “As 10% of Europe’s surface area is likely to suffer from rapid flooding by rivers, we may want to start thinking about new ways of flood early warning. The present network of water level stations is not enough to be fully prepared for future events, ”Dietze adds.
Dietze and his team are working on a plan to discover further areas at risk of flooding and provide them with low cost “watch tower” scismometer pairs — an effort to cut the losses caused by future floods. Dietze says, “The deadly July flood that hit the Ahrweiler in Germany in July 2021 gave a warning to the locals, the government, emergency services and scientists — how much we need to learn to improve the present flood warning systems. ”
32. What can be known about Ahrweiler?
A. It saw an earthquake. B. It’s turned into a station.
C. It’s hard hit by a flood D. It praised these scientists.
33. What do the researchers expect of the seismometer?
A. It’ll speed up water supply. B. It’ll stop rapid flooding.
C. It’ll be a tool for a family. D. It’ll provide early warning.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People will cut the cost of public services. B. Efforts should be put into flood control.
C. The government must save its spending. D. The locals have made a plan of action.
35. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A health report. B. A guidebook. C. A short story. D. A science magazine.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you feel like an outsider, like you don’t belong anywhere or that you just don’t fit in? Here are some tips for you to deal with these feelings.
____36____ Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people. ____37____ They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.
Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me. ____38____ Maybe because I didn’t care as much what they thought of me but more likely just because I think people are more affected by the “aura” you give off.
Focus on your wants and desires. Instead of focusing on the problem that you don’t feel like you fit in, try turning it around. What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn? ____39____ There are so many incredible and inspiring things in this world to explore. Focus on the positive and the beauty of the world rather than getting caught up in a negative situation.
The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling. ____40____ As those who have gone through the same feelings show, there can definitely be an advantage to being unique. You truly are special and there is no one else quite like you. You just need to be willing to share the real you with the world.
A. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
B. Appreciate what makes you so unique.
C. That’s where a number of people go wrong.
D. Ask yourself these questions and then go and do it.
E. I found it was easier to get along with other people.
F. You have so much more to offer by being true to yourself.
G. You can beat yourself up over it or you can become stronger for it.

When Donald Crouch first encountered Jim in his English class in rural Michigan, he saw an unhappy boy, who’d gone deep into a cocoon (茧) of silence.
Donald might have assumed that Jim was bored or uninterested or even backward. Certainly, he appeared to be all of those things.
But there was something in the young boy that lit up whenever the subject turned to poetry. It was unnoticeable, but Donald could see a shift in the boy ‘s attitude--a quiet but unmistakable enthusiasm that accompanied any discussion of Chaucer, Shakespeare, or Tennyson. A twinkle in his eyes would appear whenever Donald lectured on matters of English verse, something which proved to be most appealing to the otherwise disappointed teacher. Although Jim was interested in all manners of poetry, he seemed particularly excited when Donald would discuss Walt Whitman, that greatest of American poets.
One day Donald kept Jim after school and learned that Jim stuttered ( 口吃). Donald understood that Jim had accepted the written word because the spoken word had escaped him. The next day, Donald told the pupils to write a poem. Jim turned his assignment in, and Donald was surprised by how good it was.
The teacher read the assignment over and over again in disbelief and, truth be told, with a little bit of envy; how could a student from the middle of nowhere come up with something like this? He turned his head once again to the boy and began to have an idea.
Donald had noticed earlier that Jim’s stutter disappeared whenever he quoted his favorite poets out loud .
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The whole class turned their attention to Jim.

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat — tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
21. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?
A. 104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
22. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest?
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
23. What do the listed stadiums have in common?
A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions.
C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A

LeBron James is the new all-time scoring leader of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
He set the record with a jump shot (得分) in the third quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers game Tuesday night against Oklahoma City. James pushed his career total to 38,388 points and passed the scoring record that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had held for nearly 39 years.
After he made the shot for his 36th point of the night, James threw both hands in the air, and then smiled. Abdul-Jabbar sat up from his seal and clapped. The game stopped as members of James’ family, including his mother, his wife and their three children, went to the court for a ceremony honoring the moment.
“I’m there now because I never, ever thought about it,” James said, when asked what the scoring record meant to him.“The only thing I ever thought about was winning championships. But scoring championships and records, I’m telling you, was never on my mind.”
Abdul-Jabbar was a longtime player for the Lakers. He became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on April 5, 1984 and retired (退休) in 1989 with 38,387 points. It was a record that some thought would last forever, with very few coming close. Great basketball players, including Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan retired when they were still thousands of points away.
James, who is 38 years old, passed all of them and set the record in his 20th season. Abdul-Jabbar also played 20 NBA seasons.
During the on-court ceremony, Abdul-Jabbar handed a ball to James, showing a passing of the torch(火炬). James wiped away tears from his eyes and thanked the crowd. He also thanked his family and those who supported him, including NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the late NBA Commissioner David Stern.
“I thank you guys so much for allowing me to be a part of something I’ve always dreamed about,” James said.
24. What did James’ jump shot mean?
A. A new record was born. B. His team won the game.
C He made the longest shot. D. It was the key shot of the game.
25. W hy did the basketball match stop in the middle?
A. To give James time to recover. B. To have a celebration.
C. To drive out basketball fans. D. To change team members.
26. What do James and Abdul-Jabbar have in common?
A. They competed at the same time.
B. They created records by accident.
C. They set the record at the same age.
D. They played the same number of seasons for the record.
27. Why did Abdul-Jabbar hand a ball to James?
A. He admitted his failure. B. He announced his retirement.
C. He passed his title on to James. D. He expected to get it redesigned.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C

Nara is a popular destination for visitors to Japan and it is home to around 1, 000 blessed deer, which are officially considered as a national natural treasure in Japan and the image of the city. Many tourists like them and feed them treats. In July 2019, however, nine deer were found dead with plastic bags in their stomachs. Locals called on visitors not to throw away plastic bags in the park.
Hidetoshi Matsukawa, who works at tourism, wanted to come up with a different way to deal with the problem, and teamed up with a local paper maker and a design firm to work on the project.
They developed “Shikagami”, or deer paper, which is made from rice bran (糠) and milk boxes. They learned rice bran is mostly wasted in the processing of rice and this paper helps to reduce that waste as well.
Matsukawa has had the deer paper bags tested and says they are safe for human use. “We do not have the data to support that this paper is not harmful to deer, but this is safe for them as well as for human beings,” he said, laughing.
The bags have since been tested at local banks and the Todaiji temple, Nara’s main tourist attraction. The temple and banks bought 4, 000—5, 000 of the bags for 100 yen (around 95 cents) each as part of the pilot project. The price will fall if more businesses sign up to use the bags, said Matsukawa, who dreams of replacing plastic bags across the city to prevent more deer from dying after eating them.
“The news about the death of deer by plastic bags creates a bad influence, as though the park is a cemetery (墓地) for deer,” he said. “The paper bags can protect deer, as well as the image of Nara with deer.”
28. What happened to the blessed deer?
A. They were accepted as the image of Japan. B. They were harmed by plastic bags.
C. They got into the danger of dying out. D. They didn’t get enough food from tourists.
29. What did Matsukawa do with the problem of the deer’s death?
A. He prohibited visitors from feeding the deer.
B. He kept the deer away from humans.
C. He set up a deer protection organization.
D. He developed a new kind of paper.
30. What can we learn about deer paper from Matsukawa’s words?
A. It is sure to be harmless to all animals.
B. It can only be used to protect blessed deer.
C. It has passed the safety tests for human use.
D. It is unsatisfactory for environmental protection.
31. What is Matsukawa’s wish about deer paper bags?
A. They will be sold at higher prices. B. They will be used around the world.
C. They will be reused for more times. D. They will be widely used in the city.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。日本奈良的9只鹿因为吃了塑料袋而死亡,在旅游行业工作的Hidetoshi Matsukawa与当地一家造纸企业和一家设计公司合作发明了由米糠和牛奶盒制成的“鹿纸”,这种纸对鹿和人类使用都是安全的。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的最后两句“In July 2019, however, nine deer were found dead with plastic bags in their stomachs. Locals called on visitors not to throw away plastic bags in the park.(然而,在2019年7月,有9只鹿被发现死亡,它们的胃里有塑料袋。当地人呼吁游客不要在公园里扔塑料袋)”可知,鹿被塑料袋伤害了。故选B项。

Seismometer (地震仪) stations not only sense ground shaking due to earthquakes but also signals at the surface of our planet, such as storms and — as the researchers discovered — also floods. For this research, scientists turned an earthquake seismometer station near the town of Ahrweiler in Germany into a flood tracking tool. Using seismological information from the time of the event, they can tell people about the disaster in a timely way.
As the town of Ahrweiler took the full force of a flood, scientists found the seismometer exactly showed the track of the flood for one hour. By comparing mathematical models, the researchers were able to estimate (估算) the speed with which the flood moved. In fact, this was the only systematic source of measurable information about how the flood developed because the three present water level stations in the town were out of service early.
As the research shows, this method can provide information that is valuable to track flood for warning and rescue activities. “If the data from that station is available (可用的) and as our research now shows, real time information on the magnitude and speed of the flood will be available as well, ”says Dr Michael Dietze at the University of Gottingen. “As 10% of Europe’s surface area is likely to suffer from rapid flooding by rivers, we may want to start thinking about new ways of flood early warning. The present network of water level stations is not enough to be fully prepared for future events, ”Dietze adds.
Dietze and his team are working on a plan to discover further areas at risk of flooding and provide them with low cost “watch tower” scismometer pairs — an effort to cut the losses caused by future floods. Dietze says, “The deadly July flood that hit the Ahrweiler in Germany in July 2021 gave a warning to the locals, the government, emergency services and scientists — how much we need to learn to improve the present flood warning systems. ”
32. What can be known about Ahrweiler?
A. It saw an earthquake. B. It’s turned into a station.
C. It’s hard hit by a flood D. It praised these scientists.
33. What do the researchers expect of the seismometer?
A. It’ll speed up water supply. B. It’ll stop rapid flooding.
C. It’ll be a tool for a family. D. It’ll provide early warning.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People will cut the cost of public services. B. Efforts should be put into flood control.
C. The government must save its spending. D. The locals have made a plan of action.
35. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A health report. B. A guidebook. C. A short story. D. A science magazine.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项新研究发现——地震仪可用于洪水监测预警。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As the town of Ahrweiler took the full force of a flood, scientists found the seismometer exactly showed the track of the flood for one hour.(当Ahrweiler镇承受了洪水的全部力量时,科学家们发现地震仪在一个小时内准确地显示了洪水的轨迹)”可知,Ahrweiler遭受了猛烈的洪水侵袭。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Using seismological information from the time of the event, they can tell people about the disaster in a timely way.(利用地震发生时的地震信息,他们可以及时地告诉人们灾难的情况)”及第三段“As the research shows, this method can provide information that is valuable to track flood for warning and rescue activities.(研究表明,该方法可为洪水跟踪预警和救援活动提供有价值的信息)”可知,研究人员希望地震仪可以提供预警信息。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The deadly July flood that hit the Ahrweiler in Germany in July 2021 gave a warning to the locals, the government, emergency services and scientists — how much we need to learn to improve the present flood warning systems.(2021年7月,德国Ahrweiler发生了致命的7月洪水,给当地人、政府、应急服务机构和科学家们敲响了警钟——我们需要学习多少东西来改善目前的洪水预警系统)”可推断,还需把更多精力投入到未来防洪工作中。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Seismometer (地震仪) stations not only sense ground shaking due to earthquakes but alsc signals at the surface of our planet, such as storms and — as the researchers discovered — also floods. For this research, scientists turned an earthquake seismometer station near the town of Ahrweiler in Germany into a flood tracking tool.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you feel like an outsider, like you don’t belong anywhere or that you just don’t fit in? Here are some tips for you to deal with these feelings.
____36____ Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people. ____37____ They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.
Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me. ____38____ Maybe because I didn’t care as much what they thought of me but more likely just because I think people are more affected by the “aura” you give off.
Focus on your wants and desires. Instead of focusing on the problem that you don’t feel like you fit in, try turning it around. What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn? ____39____ There are so many incredible and inspiring things in this world to explore. Focus on the positive and the beauty of the world rather than getting caught up in a negative situation.
The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling. ____40____ As those who have gone through the same feelings show, there can definitely be an advantage to being unique. You truly are special and there is no one else quite like you. You just need to be willing to share the real you with the world.
A. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
B. Appreciate what makes you so unique.
C. That’s where a number of people go wrong.
D. Ask yourself these questions and then go and do it.
E. I found it was easier to get along with other people.
F. You have so much more to offer by being true to yourself.
G. You can beat yourself up over it or you can become stronger for it.
【答案】36. A 37. C 38. E 39. D 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。有些人总想自己是个局外人,不能融入其中。文章对如何应对这种感觉给出了几条建议。
【36题详解】
根据后文“Often it’s really only your own mind and emotions that tell you that you don’t fit in. Actually, you may fit in fine. Feeling like you don’t belong isn’t always a bad thing either. Remember, it’s the people that are unique in this world that make the biggest impact. You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people.(通常只有你自己思想和情绪告诉你,你不适合这里。事实上,你可能很适合。感觉自己不属于这里也不总是坏事。记住,在这个世界上,只有独一无二的人才能产生最大的影响。你不想为了迎合某一群人而改变自己)”可知,本段讲述的是经常是你自己的兴智和情感认为自己不合群,实际上你融入的很好。你不用总想着改变自己去融入一组人群中。不能融入其中未必是件坏事。所以你没必要对自己太苛刻。故A选项“别对自己太苛刻了”符合语境,故选A。
【37题详解】
根据上文“You don’t want to change yourself just to fit in with a certain group of people.(你不想改变自己去融入一组人群中)”以及后文“They end up wanting to gain approval from others and end up losing themselves in the process.(他们想要得到别人的赞同最后在这个过程中失去了自我)”可知,本句是在否定上文改变自己去融入人群的做法。故C选项“这就是很多人犯错的地方”符合语境,故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Let go of past anger. We’re so angry at people that we can’t relate to anyone or only expect the worst from others. Once I figured out how to let go of my past, I became much more comfortable being me.(放下过去的愤怒。我们对别人太生气了,以至于我们无法与任何人相处,或者只对别人抱最坏的期望。一旦我明白如何放开我的过去,我变得更自在地做我自己)”可知,本段内容讲的是放手过去的愤怒。空前说一旦我弄清楚了怎样释放过去,我对自己就感觉更舒服一些,可知本句为过渡句,指出上文放开过去对作者的影响。故E选项“我发现和其他人相处更容易了”符合语境,故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上文“What do you want to explore, what goals do you have, or what do you want to learn?(你想探索什么,你有什么目标,或者你想学习什么?)”可知,本句承接上文说明这些问题的作用和做法。故D选项“问自己这些问题,然后去做”符合语境,故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文“The key to handling the situation of “I feel like an outsider” is really all in how you react to that feeling.(处理“我觉得自己像个局外人”这种情况的关键在于你如何应对这种感觉)”可知,本句具体说明“我觉得自己像个局外人”的感觉,故G选项“你可以为此自责,也可以因此变得更坚强”符合语境,故选G。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Donald Crouch first encountered Jim in his English class in rural Michigan, he saw an unhappy boy, who’d gone deep into a cocoon (茧) of silence.
Donald might have assumed that Jim was bored or uninterested or even backward. Certainly, he appeared to be all of those things.
But there was something in the young boy that lit up whenever the subject turned to poetry. It was unnoticeable, but Donald could see a shift in the boy ‘s attitude--a quiet but unmistakable enthusiasm that accompanied any discussion of Chaucer, Shakespeare, or Tennyson. A twinkle in his eyes would appear whenever Donald lectured on matters of English verse, something which proved to be most appealing to the otherwise disappointed teacher. Although Jim was interested in all manners of poetry, he seemed particularly excited when Donald would discuss Walt Whitman, that greatest of American poets.
One day Donald kept Jim after school and learned that Jim stuttered ( 口吃). Donald understood that Jim had accepted the written word because the spoken word had escaped him. The next day, Donald told the pupils to write a poem. Jim turned his assignment in, and Donald was surprised by how good it was.
The teacher read the assignment over and over again in disbelief and, truth be told, with a little bit of envy; how could a student from the middle of nowhere come up with something like this? He turned his head once again to the boy and began to have an idea.
Donald had noticed earlier that Jim’s stutter disappeared whenever he quoted his favorite poets out loud
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The whole class turned their attention to Jim.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Donald had noticed earlier that Jim’s stutter disappeared whenever he quoted his favorite poets out loud. Now the teacher tried to do something most teachers would never consider doing today: he put Jim on the spot. So he said, “Jim, would you kindly come to the front of the class and read us what you’ve written? If the words really are yours, Jim, then prove it. Stand and recite them. Right now. Or admit that you stole them.”
The whole class turned their attention to Jim. Jim sprang to his feet and recited Ode to a grapefruit just as he had written it. There was anger in his voice, but what a voice it turned out to be: big and booming and clear as a bell. That was the day Donald Crouch unlocked one of the most powerful and familiar voices in the world. From then on, the world it seemed, was too small to contain a voice as big as Jim’s.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了唐纳德·克劳奇和吉姆之间的故事。当唐纳德·克劳奇第一次在密歇根州农村的英语课上遇到吉姆时,他看到的是一个不开心的男孩,他陷入了沉默的茧中。后来唐纳德留下吉姆,发现吉姆口吃。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“唐纳德早就注意到,每当吉姆大声引用他最喜欢的诗人的话时,他的口吃就消失了。”可知,第一段可描写唐纳德故意让吉姆在教室前面把自己写的读出来,来帮助他克服口吃。
②由第二段首句内容“全班都把注意力转向吉姆。”可知,第二段可描写吉姆带着愤怒背诵了自己所写的,从那时起,这个世界似乎太小了,容不下吉姆这么大的声音。
2.续写线索:教室前读——尴尬——愤怒——关注——背诵——成功
3.词汇激活
行为类
背诵:recite /learn…by oneself
结果是,证明是:turn out /prove
从那时起:From then on /since then

熟悉的,常见的:familiar /common
【点睛】[高分句型1]. Now the teacher tried to do something most teachers would never consider doing today:(句中运用省略that的定语从句)

[高分句型3]. If the words really are yours, Jim, then prove it.(if引导条件状语从句)
