第四部分 :阅读理解 50分
A
Choosing a major, which is the specialized area of your college study, can be overwhelming. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. And the major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Consider these factors when picking your major.
Career Prep
Choose a major because it will prepare you for a specific career path or advanced study. Maybe you already know that you want to be a nurse, a day trader, or a web developer. Before you declare, take a class or two in the relevant discipline, check out the syllabus for an advanced seminar, and talk to students in the department of your choice. Make sure you’re ready for the coursework required for the career of your dreams.
Earning Potential
Future earning potential is worth considering—college is a big investment, and while college can pay you back in many ways beyond salary, this can be a major factor for students who are paying their own way or taking out loans. According to PayScale.com, the majors that lead to the highest salaries include just about any type of engineering, actuarial mathematics, computer science, physics, government, and economics. Keep your quality of life in mind, too—that six figure salary may not be worth it if you're not happy at the office.
Subjects You Love
Some students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter. If you love what you're studying, you're more likely to fully engage with your classes and college experience, and that can mean better grades and great relationships with others in your field. If your calling is philosophy, don't write it off just because you're not sure about graduate school, or what the job market holds for philosophers. Many liberal arts majors provide students with critical thinking skills and writing abilities that are highly valued by employers.
Undecided? Explore your interests.
If you truly have no idea what you want to study, that's okay—many schools don't require students to declare a major until you are a second-year student. That gives you four semesters to play the field. Exploring your interests will help you find your best fit major—and maybe even your ideal career.
36. You don’t need to feel fearful when choosing your major because ______.
A. your major has completely nothing to do with your future
B. you are not limited to only one particular career for your whole life
C. changing career fields are unavoidable in your life
D. you only spend a little time on whatever subject you choose
37. The underlined word discipline is closest in meaning to ______.
A. field B. rule
C. theory D. knowledge
38. What do we learn about from Para. 3?
A. Your college investment will be all given back to you in the form of high salary.
B. Future career earning is viewed as the top concern for most college students.
C. High salary will not be worthwhile at the cost of your unhappy office work.
D. If you choose engineering-related majors, you are sure to earn high salary.
39. What can we infer from the passage?
A. You are advised to choose liberal arts majors for what are provided.
B. Worse grades result from poor relationships with others in college.
C. Employers like liberal arts majors more than science majors in job market.
D. Some students don’t necessarily need to decide their choices of majors upon entering college.
40. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why is it difficult to choose a major. B. What influences your choice of a major.
C. How can a major affect your career. D. When should you decide your major.
B
I was waiting in a check-in line at Arlanda International Airport. The man ahead of me was quite a big guy. As an airport baggage handler checked through a customer at the roadside, he accidentally knocked over the man’s luggage. He quickly collected the fallen bags and apologized for his mistake. However,the traveler burst into anger, shouting at the baggage handler for his carelessness.
The baggage handler calmly apologized and smiled all the time. The customer continued to berate(痛斥) the man, even as he turned away and headed for his gate. Through it all the baggage handler smiled and remained calm.
The other customers in line witnessed the incident and admired the baggage handler’s professionalism and self-control. “I have never seen such restraint and humility,” one of the customers sighed, “How do you keep your cool when somebody is attacking you so viciously?”
“It’s easy,” the baggage handler answered. “He’s going to London, but his bags are going to Tokyo.”
I won’t recommend that we use revenge to relieve stress. But let me tell you about one of my friends who has found a way to go through most of his life unaffected by theturbulence that disturbs most people. He is one of the calmest people I’ve ever known and he describes how he keeps his cool no matter how turbulent a situation becomes. He says, “I look at it this way. A traffic jam has no power to make me angry. It just stops my car. And that’s the way I try to look at most of what happens to me.” With that philosophy, this guy goes through life with a calmness I can only envy.
My friend likes to say things like, “A rude customer has no power to make me angry; he just fusses.” And, “A mistake I made has no power to make me upset; it’s just a chance to do better.” He shows how we can truly find calmness in the midst of chaos.
41. The airport baggage handler remained calm during the customer’s berating because ______.
A. he was good at self-control
B. he wanted to show his professionalism
C. he wanted to revenge the customer
D. he knew well the airport rules
42. What is the author’s attitude towards the baggage handler?
A. Appreciative. B. Disapproving.
C. Concerned. D. Sympathetic.
43. Why does the author tell us about his friend?
A. To tell us what is true calmness.
B To explain a special philosophy.
C. To show his envy to the friend.
D. To advise us to have good manners.
44. What does the underlined word “turbulence” mean?
A. an uneasy or a disturbing state of mind
B. a confusing or uncontrolled situation
C. a person that makes people angry
D. violence that hurts people
45 Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. A Clever Baggage Handler
B. Restraint and Humility in Life
C. A Philosophy for Everyone
D. Calmness in Chaos
C
Cheating is considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities. Colleges and universities across the US have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating.
We frequently hear about “the good old days”, when Americans were better, happier, and more honest. But were they more honest? Maybe yes, a long time ago when life was very different from what it is today.
School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he’d overcharged a customer. It’s the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true — unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. Washington’s first biographer invented the tale of little George saying to his father, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax.” What is important in both stories, however, is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.
And these are just two stories out of many. Students in the last century usually didn’t read “fan” stories. They read stories that taught moral values. Such stories pointed out quite clearly that children who lied, cheated, or stole came to bad ends.
Parents may have further reinforced those values. It’s difficult to know. We do know that children didn’t hear their parents talk of cheating the government on income taxes — there weren’t any. The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character. For that reason, there are numerous watch-dog committees at all levels of society.
Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty? There is some evidence that dishonesty may ebb and flow (起伏). When times are hard, incidents of theft and cheating usually go up. And when times get better such incidents tend to go down.
Cheating in school also tends to ebb and flow. But it doesn’t seem linked to the economy. Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating — a person may feel “they don’t trust me anyway,” and be tempted to “beat the system.” Distrust can be contagious (传染的). But, so can trust!
46. Why does the author mention the two stories of Lincoln and Washington?
A. To show Lincoln is more admired than Washington.
B. To introduce the topic to be discussed.
C. To compare them with the presidents today.
D. To prove honesty used to be very important in American character.
47. What lesson do all the stories try to convey?
A. Those who do something evil will have to answer for it.
B. Those who steal will be put to prison.
C. Those who cheat will be sentenced.
D. Those who don’t behave themselves will die young.
48. What may be a main reason for dishonesty in society?
A. Family life.
B. Fun stories.
C. Economic condition.
D. School education.
49. By saying ‘... some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating’, the author wants to show ________.
A. Distrust will result in dishonesty sometimes.
B. The measures to stop cheating in schools are badly taken.
C. Dishonesty is a long-time discouragement.
D. There will never be an effective way to stop cheating.
50. What may help a student not to cheat?
A High grades.
B. Self-confidence.
C. Discipline.
D. Strong wills.
D
The nature vs. nurture (培养) debate has gained mixed reactions from scientists and psychologists through the years. Some believe that genetics has a more significant impact on your physical, emotional, and mental qualities, while others say that your upbringing has a great influence on your maturity (成熟) levels.
Emotional DNA falls to the side of the nature argument since the science involves understanding your inherited emotional responses. A study considers that your ancestors created a blueprint of decisions made during the events they encountered in their lives. This blueprint is then passed on to their descendants, and serves as pre-programmed responses when they face similar situations.
It’s been widely known that disorders like depression and anxiety have physical signs, and you also imitate the behavior of your parents as you grow up. However, emotional DNA goes deeper than that. The reason is that you inherit inborn traits (特征) that may prevent your psychological growth, especially if you aren’t aware of the unhelpful habits passed on to you by your ancestors.
As much as you may want to create objective decisions for your personal relationships or career, emotions have a significant influence in this process. Fortunately, you can rewire your emotional DNA through therapies and treatment programs.
Awareness is key to this aspect of your being since you should understand what causes your action or inaction. This way, you’ll be able to take full control of your future.
You tend to think that you can come to the point of full honesty and awareness of yourself. However, you’ll have emotional blind spots where you’re in denial that you have an issue with an aspect of your personality or you don’t feel that it’s a problem at all.
Sometimes, family and friends want to protect you from yourself by sugarcoating your unpleasant traits and habits. Seeking help from a psychologist or life coach can ensure that someone is willing to tell you the truth about your negative characteristics. Plus, they can teach you some techniques to deal with different emotions and situations.
51. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To give a background to the topic of emotional DNA.
B. To introduce the latest development in biology.
C. To show the complexity of scientific studies.
D. To generate an interest in learning science.
52. What can we learn about emotional DNA from the second paragraph?
A. It may influence our physical development.
B. It is controlled by our growing environment.
C. It is independent of the experiences of our ancestors.
D. It comes from our ancestors’ ways of decision-making.
53. Which of the following words can replace “rewire” in Paragraph 4?
A. Release. B. Review.
C. Reduce. D. Regroup.
54. What measure is recommended to avoid emotional blind spots?
A. Ask our friends or family for advice.
B. Turn to psychologists or life coaches.
C. Learn some techniques from books.
D. Depend on your self-awareness.
55. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To talk about emotional blind spots and solutions.
B. To discuss ways to get rid of emotional DNA.
C. To explain emotional DNA and its effects.
D. To provide tips on controlling emotions.

I started writing when I was around five years old. My father told me he would try and search for a good publisher to please my young mind. But of course, at that time, my writing was too immature and childish to be printed on paper and sold in bookstores!
It was when I was twelve years old and had almost given up the thought of people reading my stories that I received the best news of my life. My mother’s close friend noticed my change, so she did a bit of exploring along with my mother and found that there were some online sites where I could publish my stories!
I was extremely excited and immediately sat down with them and went through the list of websites. One of them beguiled me—— Yourstoryclub. I registered and became a member. Then I submitted a few old stories of mine and much to my delight, one of them got selected as Editor's Choice!
After I got the Editor’s Choice, I quickly signed up for a few more online spots where I could read and write stories. Unknowingly, I had completely abandoned Yourstoryclub.
But something was wrong. While sending my writings to the other sites, I didn’t really feel as good as before. The usual feeling of happiness I used to experience while getting a story published wasn't there anymore. I had lost that friendly feeling that always accompanied me whenever I logged into Yourstoryclub. This website had become a really good friend of mine. But the other ones were just too overwhelming and I felt like I wasn't ready for them.
I then realized the importance of taking one step at a time and not getting too ahead of myself. I needed to focus on one thing and should’t forget about it if I find another.
66. Why did the author almost give up writing?(no more than 5 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
67 How did the mother and her friend help the author? (no more than 15 words)

第四部分 :阅读理解 50分
A
Choosing a major, which is the specialized area of your college study, can be overwhelming. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. And the major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Consider these factors when picking your major.
Career Prep
Choose a major because it will prepare you for a specific career path or advanced study. Maybe you already know that you want to be a nurse, a day trader, or a web developer. Before you declare, take a class or two in the relevant discipline, check out the syllabus for an advanced seminar, and talk to students in the department of your choice. Make sure you’re ready for the coursework required for the career of your dreams.
Earning Potential
Future earning potential is worth considering—college is a big investment, and while college can pay you back in many ways beyond salary, this can be a major factor for students who are paying their own way or taking out loans. According to PayScale.com, the majors that lead to the highest salaries include just about any type of engineering, actuarial mathematics, computer science, physics, government, and economics. Keep your quality of life in mind, too—that six figure salary may not be worth it if you're not happy at the office.
Subjects You Love
Some students choose a major simply because they love the subject matter. If you love what you're studying, you're more likely to fully engage with your classes and college experience, and that can mean better grades and great relationships with others in your field. If your calling is philosophy, don't write it off just because you're not sure about graduate school, or what the job market holds for philosophers. Many liberal arts majors provide students with critical thinking skills and writing abilities that are highly valued by employers.
Undecided? Explore your interests.
If you truly have no idea what you want to study, that's okay—many schools don't require students to declare a major until you are a second-year student. That gives you four semesters to play the field. Exploring your interests will help you find your best fit major—and maybe even your ideal career.
36. You don’t need to feel fearful when choosing your major because ______.
A. your major has completely nothing to do with your future
B. you are not limited to only one particular career for your whole life
C. changing career fields are unavoidable in your life
D. you only spend a little time on whatever subject you choose
37. The underlined word discipline is closest in meaning to ______.
A. field B. rule
C. theory D. knowledge
38. What do we learn about from Para. 3?
A. Your college investment will be all given back to you in the form of high salary.
B. Future career earning is viewed as the top concern for most college students.
C. High salary will not be worthwhile at the cost of your unhappy office work.
D. If you choose engineering-related majors, you are sure to earn high salary.
39. What can we infer from the passage?
A. You are advised to choose liberal arts majors for what are provided.
B. Worse grades result from poor relationships with others in college.
C. Employers like liberal arts majors more than science majors in job market.
D. Some students don’t necessarily need to decide their choices of majors upon entering college.
40. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why is it difficult to choose a major. B. What influences your choice of a major.
C. How can a major affect your career. D. When should you decide your major.
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. D 40. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在选择专业时考虑的一些因素:职业准备、收入潜力、你爱的科目、探索你的兴趣。

【37题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中划线词所在句Before you declare, take a class or two in the relevant discipline, check out the syllabus for an advanced seminar, and talk to students in the department of your choice. 在你宣布之前,选修一到两门相关_______的课程,查看高级研讨班的教学大纲,并与你所选系的学生交谈。由选修相关的课程,可以猜测discipline意为“领域,学科”。故选A项。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句 Keep your quality of life in mind, too—that six figure salary may not be worth it if you're not happy at the office. 还要记住你的生活质量——如果你在工作中不开心,即使六位数的薪水也不值得。可知,以你不愉快的办公室工作为代价,高薪是不值得的。故选 C项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中If you truly have no idea what you want to study, that's okay—many schools don't require students to declare a major until you are a second-year student. 如果你真的不知道自己想学什么,没关系——很多学校不要求学生在二年级之前申报专业。由此判断出,一些学生在进入大学时不一定要决定他们的专业选择。故选 D项。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是根据第一段最后一句Consider these factors when picking your major.考虑这些影响你选择专业的因素。可知,本文主要介绍了影响你选择专业的因素,也就是什么影响了你对专业的选择。故选 B项。

I was waiting in a check-in line at Arlanda International Airport. The man ahead of me was quite a big guy. As an airport baggage handler checked through a customer at the roadside, he accidentally knocked over the man’s luggage. He quickly collected the fallen bags and apologized for his mistake. However,the traveler burst into anger, shouting at the baggage handler for his carelessness.
The baggage handler calmly apologized and smiled all the time. The customer continued to berate(痛斥) the man, even as he turned away and headed for his gate. Through it all the baggage handler smiled and remained calm.
The other customers in line witnessed the incident and admired the baggage handler’s professionalism and self-control. “I have never seen such restraint and humility,” one of the customers sighed, “How do you keep your cool when somebody is attacking you so viciously?”
“It’s easy,” the baggage handler answered. “He’s going to London, but his bags are going to Tokyo.”
I won’t recommend that we use revenge to relieve stress. But let me tell you about one of my friends who has found a way to go through most of his life unaffected by theturbulence that disturbs most people. He is one of the calmest people I’ve ever known and he describes how he keeps his cool no matter how turbulent a situation becomes. He says “I look at it this way. A traffic jam has no power to make me angry. It just stops my car. And that’s the way I try to look at most of what happens to me.” With that philosophy, this guy goes through life with a calmness I can only envy.
My friend likes to say things like, “A rude customer has no power to make me angry; he just fusses.” And, “A mistake I made has no power to make me upset; it’s just a chance to do better.” He shows how we can truly find calmness in the midst of chaos.
41. The airport baggage handler remained calm during the customer’s berating because ______.
A. he was good at self-control
B. he wanted to show his professionalism
C. he wanted to revenge the customer
D. he knew well the airport rules
42. What is the author’s attitude towards the baggage handler?
A. Appreciative. B. Disapproving.

43. Why does the author tell us about his friend?
A. To tell us what is true calmness.
B. To explain a special philosophy.
C. To show his envy to the friend.
D. To advise us to have good manners.
44. What does the underlined word “turbulence” mean?
A. an uneasy or a disturbing state of mind
B. a confusing or uncontrolled situation
C. a person that makes people angry
D. violence that hurts people
45. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A A Clever Baggage Handler

【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. B 45. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文通过生活中的故事实例,告诉我们什么才是真正的冷静。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It’s easy,” the baggage handler answered. “He’s going to London, but his bags are going to Tokyo.”( 很简单,”行李员回答。“他要去伦敦,但他的行李要去东京。)可知,行李搬运员保持得体的服务态度是因为他想通过将行李寄送到其他地方报复那位顾客。故选C。
【42题详解】

【45题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知本文讲述面对生活中的烦扰时,什么才是真正的冷静。所以短文的最佳标题为“混乱中的冷静”,故选D。
C
Cheating is considered to be a major problem in colleges and universities. Colleges and universities across the US have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating.
We frequently hear about “the good old days”, when Americans were better, happier, and more honest. But were they more honest? Maybe yes, a long time ago when life was very different from what it is today.
School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he’d overcharged a customer. It’s the kind of story we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true — unlike the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. Washington’s first biographer invented the tale of little George saying to his father, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my ax.” What is important in both stories, however, is that honesty was seen as an important part of the American character.
And these are just two stories out of many. Students in the last century usually didn’t read “fan” stories. They read stories that taught moral values. Such stories pointed out quite clearly that children who lied, cheated, or stole came to bad ends.
Parents may have further reinforced those values. It’s difficult to know. We do know that children didn’t hear their parents talk of cheating the government on income taxes — there weren’t any. The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character. For that reason, there are numerous watch-dog committees at all levels of society.
Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty? There is some evidence that dishonesty may ebb and flow (起伏). When times are hard, incidents of theft and cheating usually go up. And when times get better such incidents tend to go down.
Cheating in school also tends to ebb and flow. But it doesn’t seem linked to the economy. Many educators feel that as students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating — a person may feel “they don’t trust me anyway,” and be tempted to “beat the system.” Distrust can be contagious (传染的). But, so can trust!
46. Why does the author mention the two stories of Lincoln and Washington?
A. To show Lincoln is more admired than Washington.
B. To introduce the topic to be discussed.
C. To compare them with the presidents today.
D. To prove honesty used to be very important in American character.
47. What lesson do all the stories try to convey?
A. Those who do something evil will have to answer for it.
B. Those who steal will be put to prison.
C. Those who cheat will be sentenced.
D. Those who don’t behave themselves will die young.
48. What may be a main reason for dishonesty in society?
A. Family life.
B. Fun stories.
C. Economic condition.
D. School education.
49. By saying ‘... some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheating’, the author wants to show ________.
A. Distrust will result in dishonesty sometimes.
B. The measures to stop cheating in schools are badly taken.
C. Dishonesty is a long-time discouragement.
D. There will never be an effective way to stop cheating.
50. What may help a student not to cheat?
A. High grades.
B. Self-confidence.
C. Discipline.
D. Strong wills.
【答案】46. D 47. A 48. C 49. A 50. B

The nature vs. nurture (培养) debate has gained mixed reactions from scientists and psychologists through the years. Some believe that genetics has a more significant impact on your physical, emotional, and mental qualities, while others say that your upbringing has a great influence on your maturity (成熟) levels.
Emotional DNA falls to the side of the nature argument since the science involves understanding your inherited emotional responses. A study considers that your ancestors created a blueprint of decisions made during the events they encountered in their lives. This blueprint is then passed on to their descendants, and serves as pre-programmed responses when they face similar situations.
It’s been widely known that disorders like depression and anxiety have physical signs, and you also imitate the behavior of your parents as you grow up. However, emotional DNA goes deeper than that. The reason is that you inherit inborn traits (特征) that may prevent your psychological growth, especially if you aren’t aware of the unhelpful habits passed on to you by your ancestors.
As much as you may want to create objective decisions for your personal relationships or career, emotions have a significant influence in this process. Fortunately, you can rewire your emotional DNA through therapies and treatment programs.
Awareness is key to this aspect of your being since you should understand what causes your action or inaction. This way, you’ll be able to take full control of your future.
You tend to think that you can come to the point of full honesty and awareness of yourself. However, you’ll have emotional blind spots where you’re in denial that you have an issue with an aspect of your personality or you don’t feel that it’s a problem at all.
Sometimes, family and friends want to protect you from yourself by sugarcoating your unpleasant traits and habits. Seeking help from a psychologist or life coach can ensure that someone is willing to tell you the truth about your negative characteristics. Plus, they can teach you some techniques to deal with different emotions and situations.

【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The nature vs. nurture (培养) debate has gained mixed reactions from scientists and psychologists through the years. Some believe that genetics has a more significant impact on your physical, emotional, and mental qualities, while others say that your upbringing has a great influence on your maturity (成熟) levels.(多年来,科学家和心理学家对先天与后天的争论反应不一。一些人认为基因对你的身体、情感和心理素质有更重要的影响,而另一些人则认为你的教养对你的成熟程度有很大的影响)”可知,第一段提出了科学家和心理学家对情绪基因的不同看法,而下文介绍了什么是情绪的DNA遗传及其对我们产生的影响,推知第一段的作用是为情感DNA这一主题提供背景知识。故选A。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“A study considers that your ancestors created a blueprint of decisions made during the events they encountered in their lives. This blueprint is then passed on to their descendants, and serves as pre-programmed responses when they face similar situations.(一项研究认为,你的祖先在他们生活中遇到的事件中创造了一个决策蓝图。然后,这个蓝图被传递给他们的后代,当他们面临类似的情况时,作为预先编程的响应)”可知,情绪DNA源于我们祖先做决定的方式。故选D。
【53题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段提到我们的情绪DNA源于祖先和第四段“Fortunately, you can rewire your emotional DNA through therapies and treatment programs.(幸运的是,你可以通过心理医疗和治疗程序rewire你的情感DNA)”可知,虽然情绪DNA很大程度上是遗传的,但可以通过治疗重组,让它有利于你当前的情况。由此推知划线词意为 “重组”,与regroup同义。故选D。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Seeking help from a psychologist or life coach can ensure that someone is willing to tell you the truth about your negative characteristics. Plus, they can teach you some techniques to deal with different emotions and situations.(向心理学家或生活教练寻求帮助可以确保有人愿意告诉你关于你的负面性格的真相。此外,他们可以教你一些技巧来处理不同的情绪和情况)”可知,文章推荐我们向心理学家或是生活教练求助,以避免情感盲点。故选B。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其第二段的“A study considers that your ancestors created a blueprint of decisions made during the events they encountered in their lives. This blueprint is then passed on to their descendants, and serves as pre-programmed responses when they face similar situations.(一项研究认为,你的祖先在他们生活中遇到的事件中创造了一个决策蓝图。然后,这个蓝图被传递给他们的后代,当他们面临类似的情况时,作为预先编程的响应)”,第三段的“you inherit inborn traits (特征) that may prevent your psychological growth, especially if you aren’t aware of the unhelpful habits passed on to you by your ancestors.(你会遗传一些天生的特质,这些特质可能会阻碍你的心理成长,尤其是当你没有意识到祖先传给你的那些无益的习惯时)”,和倒数第二段的“However, you’ll have emotional blind spots where you’re in denial that you have an issue with an aspect of your personality or you don’t feel that it’s a problem at all.(然而,你会有情感盲点,你否认你的个性有问题,或者你根本不觉得这是一个问题)”可知,本文主要介绍了什么是情绪DNA的遗传及其影响。故选C。

第六部分、阅读表达 10分
阅读表达
I started writing when I was around five years old. My father told me he would try and search for a good publisher to please my young mind. But of course, at that time, my writing was too immature and childish to be printed on paper and sold in bookstores!
It was when I was twelve years old and had almost given up the thought of people reading my stories that I received the best news of my life. My mother’s close friend noticed my change, so she did a bit of exploring along with my mother and found that there were some online sites where I could publish my stories!
I was extremely excited and immediately sat down with them and went through the list of websites. One of them beguiled me—— Yourstoryclub. I registered and became a member. Then I submitted a few old stories of mine and much to my delight, one of them got selected as Editor's Choice!
After I got the Editor’s Choice, I quickly signed up for a few more online spots where I could read and write stories. Unknowingly, I had completely abandoned Yourstoryclub.
But something was wrong. While sending my writings to the other sites, I didn’t really feel as good as before. The usual feeling of happiness I used to experience while getting a story published wasn't there anymore. I had lost that friendly feeling that always accompanied me whenever I logged into Yourstoryclub. This website had become a really good friend of mine. But the other ones were just too overwhelming and I felt like I wasn't ready for them.
I then realized the importance of taking one step at a time and not getting too ahead of myself I needed to focus on one thing and should’t forget about it if I find another.
66. Why did the author almost give up writing?(no more than 5 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
67. How did the mother and her friend help the author? (no more than 15 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
68. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?(1 word)
_____________________________________________________________________________
69. How did the author feel after sending writings to the other sites? (no more than 10 words
_____________________________________________________________________________
70. What can you learn from the author’s story?(no more than 20 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】66. Because he didn’t have readers.
Because his writing wasn’t good.
Because his writing was immature.
Because his writing was childish.
(Because) no publishers liked his writing..
67. By finding some online sites where the author could publish his stories.
68. Attracted/ Captured/ Arrested/ Fascinated.
69. He didn’t feel good.
He felt terrible/ awful.
70. I realize the importance of taking one step at a time and not getting too ahead of myself.
I need to focus on one thing and shouldn’t forget about it if I find another.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者发表自己文章的经历,从中学习到我们不应该追求快速的成功,应该专注于一件事,循序渐进。
【66题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段关键句“But of course, at that time, my writing was too immature and childish to be printed on paper and sold in bookstores!(当然,在那个时候,我的写作太不成熟,太幼稚了,不能印在纸上,也不能在书店里卖!)”可知,作者十二岁就放弃了出版故事的想法,因为他的作品不够好,不成熟且太幼稚了,没有读者感兴趣或者出版商会关注。故答案为Because he didn’t have readers./Because his writing wasn’t good./Because his writing was immature./Because his writing was childish./(Because) no publishers liked his writing.
【67题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段关键句“My mother’s close friend noticed my change, so she did a bit of exploring along with my mother and found that there were some online sites where I could publish my stories! (我母亲的密友注意到了我的变化,所以她和我母亲一起做了一些探索,发现有一些在线网站可以让我发表我的故事!)”可知,母亲和她的朋友找到了合适的网站,作者可以在那里发表他的故事,通过这种方法帮助了作者。故答案为By finding some online sites where the author could publish his stories.
【68题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据画线单词下文“I registered and became a member. (我注册并成为会员。)”可知,Your Story Club吸引了作者,所以作者才会注册,所以猜测beguile表“吸引、捕获或者使人着迷”的意思。故答案为Attracted或Captured或Arrested或Fascinated.
【69题详解】
考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段关键句“But something was wrong. While sending my writings to the other sites, I didn’t really feel as good as before. The usual feeling of happiness I used to experience while getting a story published wasn't there anymore. I had lost that friendly feeling that always accompanied me whenever I logged into Yourstoryclub. (但有些事情不对劲。当我把我的文章发到其他网站时,我真的感觉没有以前那么好了。我过去在发表故事时所体验到的那种幸福感已经不复存在了。我失去了每次登录Yourstoryclub时总是伴随着我的那种友好的感觉。)”可知,作者在将文章发送到其他网站后,感觉并不是很好,而是很糟糕。故答案为He didn’t feel good.或He felt terrible/ awful.
【70题详解】
开放性试题。本题为开放性试题,询问你能从作者的经历中学到什么,结合文章内容作答即可,参考答案可以为:文章讲述了作者在发表自己文章的经历中,学习到一步一个脚印的重要性,不要过于超前,并且需要专注于一件事,并不能因找到另一件事就而应该忘记它。故答案为I realize the importance of taking one step at a time and not getting too ahead of myself.或者I need to focus on one thing and shouldn’t forget about it if I find another.

【答案】Dear Peter,
Knowing that you want to communicate with me about how to live with pressure, I am now writing to share with you my own experiences and thoughts.
When I encounter problems, I used to be nervous and depressed so that I couldn’t concentrate my minds on my study. Having realized it is no use feeling down, I’ve found some effective ways to deal with it. Firstly, I usually turn to my parents or friends to seek encouragement from them , which is really helpful to release pressure and lift up my spirits. Besides, listening to music or doing some sports can also help me feel relaxed and have courage to face whatever difficulty I meet.
I sincerely hope you can also find solutions if you are faced with problems or pressure and live a colorful and varied life.
Yours,
Li Jin
