When I was 16, my father, in a burst of entrepreneurial spirit, bought an old guesthouse in our village and decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. At the early stages, he experimented with everything. My dad had never dipped a toe into the world of hospitality himself, yet he had a vision of what guests might desire. His standards were exceedingly high and he firmly believed that hard work was the golden ticket to achieving them.
For a month that summer my name was on the duty list as waitress at breakfast and dinner, which included laying the tables and glass polishing. This gave me the middle of the day to hit the books because my school report had not lived up to my father’s high expectations.
Like all the other waitresses, I was equipped with a neat little uniform and instructions to treat the guests as though they were distinguished guests in my own home. Although I did not feel comfortable with this, I kept my feelings under wraps. Instead, I focused intently on performing the job as well as, if not better than, the older girls.
I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening elements in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon. He had an impressive chef’s hat and an ability to lose his temper for no clear reason. His breath was strong and fishy, and I always grabbed the dishes he set down with a forbidding expression on my face which was transformed into a charming smile between two battlefields.
Breakfast waitressing was more enjoyable than the dinner shift. The guests came walking aimlessly into the dining room from seven thirty onwards, their eyes lighting up at the breathtaking view of the sea and islands framed by our dining-room windows. If the day looked promising, I would note down requests for boats and packed lunches along with their breakfast orders. It was a matter of pride to me that everyone got their order quickly, and I took pleasure in my ability to get on with the people at each table. It was funny how differently people behaved in the evening, talking with louder, colder voices, and not always returning my smile.
24. How was the writer’s father according to the first paragraph?
A. Visionary and sensitive. B. Industrious and caring.
C. Ambitious and cautious. D. Daring and demanding.
25. What did the writer mean by saying “I always grabbed the dishes... a charming smile between two battlefields”?
A. She adjusted her mood very quickly to better serve the diners.
B. She checked the food Gordon gave her in case it smelled fishy.
C. She drove Gordon mad because of the way she look the dishes.
D. She forbade Gordon from getting angry as the owner of the hotel.
26. Why did the writer enjoy serving breakfasts more than dinners?
A. The splendid daytime scenery lifted her mood.
B. It was more exciting to cater to challenging requests.
C. Distinguished guests were more punctual at breakfast.
D. She was delighted to establish friendly ties with diners.
27. What can be learned about the way the writer performed her job?
A. She managed to do it effortlessly due to the sense of duty.
B. She found all aspects of it enjoyable like the other waitresses.
C. She navigated it very well despite several difficulties she met.
D. She devoted herself to it at the cost of her academic performance.
C
Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood intersection between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism, materialism… perhaps even a new type of president.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for self-entitlement. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Earnest confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unwittingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼的) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of humility and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble - even when they use their strengths.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Approximately a quarter of kids are potential narcissists.
B. Both strengths psychology and narcissism are difficult to understand.
C. An increasing number of youth are showing an inflated sense of self.
D. Knowing the kids’ strengths has an opposite effect on making them feel good.
29. Why are teenagers’ strengths often mistaken for narcissism?
A. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
B. Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public.
C. Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism.
D. A number of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards strength-based parenting?
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Cautious. D. Favorable.
31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis. B. A Recipe for Self-entitlement.
C. Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood. D. Binary Thinking of Psychological Science.
D
For the arts “to mean more, to more people”, as Arts Council England (ACE) argues that they should, would be excellent. Music, drama, dance, visual arts, poetry and literature are among the most precious human achievements. To live in a country in which these are more widely shared and enjoyed would be proof that we are making progress. The point is not to entertain or educate people, or bring communities together. Nor is it all about boosting jobs and investment. Imagination has intrinsic (内在的) value, and research carried out by ACE in the course of preparing its 10-year strategy showed that people from all walks of life value and get pleasure from cultural activities.
Positioning itself as a development agency, ACE will now hope to win government backing for a change of direction that orients it away from the biggest and most famous national institutions and towards the towns, villages and grassroots organizations that should be similarly deserving of attention. There, it imagines a role for itself “building the identity and prosperity of places,” bringing professional artists together with voluntary groups, particular in areas that have previously not been well represented on the cultural map.
ACE’s chair, Sir Nicholas Serota, quotes the first world war centenary project devised by the artist, Jeremy Deller, and theatre director, Rufus Norris, as the model of what he wants his organization to be about. By acting as soldiers, and orchestrating their encounters with members of the public in settings across England, the artists succeeded in “dissolving the barriers between artists and audiences.”
To what extent the vision that ACE wants to promote cultural engagement so as to transform the passive spectators into the active participants is realized will depend in part on whether ACE’s ambitions catch the government’s interest sufficiently to influence the upcoming spending review, and provide a counterweight to the scorn (轻视) that is regularly poured on the humanities. Around £400m has been cut from local government arts budgets since 2010, and ACE cannot meet the financial needs. The closure of youth clubs and live music venues, and growing financial pressures linked to the property market, are among other reasons for this worrisome narrowing of opportunities. So far Boris Johnson has offered few signs that he has in mind a starring role for the arts in post-Brexit Britain, although 2022’s Festival of Brexit is one such event. ACE’s plan should boost the profile of all those, in government and outside, who are arguing for more.
32. What is the purpose of making arts available to more people?
A. To consolidate various communities. B. To maximize the natural value of art.
C. To create job opportunities for artists. D. To enlighten people from all walks of life.
33. What place is ACE most likely to promote the arts according to the passage?
A Rural settlements. B. Local governments.
C. Commercial centers. D. National organization.
34. Which of the following statements would Sir Nicholas Serota most probably agree with?
A. Artists and audiences can create and enjoy the arts together without barriers.
B. Audiences with little education can also gain pleasure from cultural activities.
C. The soldiers and volunteers should vividly show scenes about the First World War.
D. Science, technology and maths are more important than humanities and arts nowadays.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The British government has done enough to promote arts.
B. For the arts to get revitalized more extensive efforts are needed.
C. ACE should narrow the financial gap left by the local government.
D. Many performing venues have closed due to the rising property market.

The Hardest Novel I’ve Ever Read
For the last three months, I have glared at its fat heavy form on my floor with a vague sense of personal failure. I have opened Ulysses twice, determined to finish it, and managed to get all the way to page 46. ____36____
____37____ I like the community this book has created, its inherent sense of freedom and celebration of all things rude and true. I like that the style and language allow for readers to choose how they read it — some recommend skipping chapter three, others suggest reading it only after reading ABOUT it but I still get stuck.
Why do I get stuck? ____38____ On the “Most Difficult Novels” list on the Goodreads website, Joyce takes the top two spots, with Ulysses ranking first and Finnegans Wake following it. I think what is restricting me to page 46 is the language: the big fat burst of Chaucerian English with slang and jaunty dialogue that, while entertaining me, is also leaving me a little lost.
There are a few other “worthy” works of literature I have yet to read, including Infinite Jest and War and Peace. ____39____ I really want to love Ulysses. I feel deeply frustrated that I can’t finish it, all the while appreciating its uniqueness, weightiness and special “Joyceness.”
The English writer Virginia Woolf thought Ulysses was nonsense as she complained in her diaries about the pressure to finish reading it. By contrast, Vladimir Nabokov, the author who wrote Lolita expressed deep love for it. ____40____ I have read it similar to a long marriage (something unpleasant, big reward at the end), modern Jazz-fusion (an innovative genre) and boxing match with oneself (wanting to punch yourself in the face), which is how I felt by page 46.
Some people love Ulysses, so where am I getting wrong? My ultimate hope is that the struggle will be worth the effort and I can proceed victorious onto page 800 or so, on my third fourth, eighteenth try. Something tells me I will get there in the end.
A. I’m not entirely sure myself.
B. A lot of them are weighty tomes (巨著), but I like big books.
C. I have read so little both times that I have never bothered using a bookmark.
D. It seems that reading Ulysses is a big different experience for everyone.
E. Even when staring at pages without absorbing a word, I thought nice thoughts about it.
F. They, however, only cause me a slight sense of shame that I have not read or enjoyed them.
G. I have been amused and charmed by the first two or three chapters, and then puzzled and bored.

I stood with my friends in a line. My heart was hammering like anything, my hands cold and wet, my head buzzing with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I earnestly listened to the names of the house captains (社长) being announced, but in my heart, I wanted it to end because then the head girl would be announced. I so wanted it to be me.
I had made countless posters badges and bracelets for the campaigning. Instead of having lunch during the lunch time, I had gone from person to person, asking them to vote for me. I had shouted at the top of my lungs the slogan, “East or West, Maryam is the best! Vote for her and your year will be best."
I had tried my hardest to convince people to vote for me, now all I had left was hope.
“Guess who the head girl for the year is?" teased the announcer.
A heavy silence fell, one that was full of hope and expectation, of fear and of nervousness.
The announcer teased for a minute or two before finally announcing the name of the head girl.
I felt confused as my friends pushed me out of the line. As I looked at the huge crowd clapping for me, I could not believe that I was the head girl of the school. The head of the council body. The student that was respected and liked by everybody.
From then on, I enjoyed the respect I got in and out of school. At home, my family members praised me and at school everyone looked up to me. They thought I was an inspiration as well as someone they could get motivated by. I had power. I could talk to the school principal and convince her to do anything. I could order around other council members and ask them to do anything.
But as days passed, I realized that with power comes responsibility

7. Those candidates prefer the teaching positions in the remote areas because they wish to the cause of rural education.
A. to apply for; devote themselves in B. to apply to; devote themselves in
C. applying for; devote themselves to D. applying to; devote themselves to
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:那些申请人更喜欢申请偏远地区的教学岗位,因为他们希望致力于农村教育事业。apply for申请;apply to适用于;devote oneself in(错误搭配);devote oneself to投身于。根据“Those candidates”可推知,申请人要申请偏远地区的教学岗位,用动词短语apply for符合语境,prefer doing sth.是固定搭配,表示 “更喜欢做某事”,用动名词形式applying for作宾语;根据“the cause of rural education”可知,他们希望致力于农村教育事业,用动词短语devote themselves to符合语境,在不定式符号(wish to do)后用原形。故选C项。

C. what to approach; instantly D. how to approach; instantly

10. —I’m fed up with the wet, cold weather here! I wish tomorrow a sunny day!
—Exactly. Actually, it______every day in the past two weeks.
A. rained B. was raining C. has rained D. has been raining
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:——我受够了这里潮湿、寒冷的天气!我希望明天是晴天!——准确来说。事实上,在过去两周的每一天都在下雨。根据第一句话可以知道,天气仍然不好,仍然在下雨,一直持续到现在,所以用现在完成进行时(has/have been doing)表动作从过去发生一直持续到现在。故选D项。
【点睛】分析现在完成进行时关键抓住三点:
现在完成进行时的使用条件,其中之一就是“表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作,并且还将持续下去。”
现在完成进行时的结构,has/have been doing。
现在完成进行时的标志。其标志为:already(已经)、just(刚刚)、never(从不)、ever(曾经)、yet(仍然)、for+一段时间、since+过去时间/一般过去时态的句子、in the past +一段时间等。
如题中,“in the past +一段时间”为现在完成进行时的标志,加上“下雨(rain)”这个动作也是一直延续、持续不断地,并且这个动作由过去开始一直持续到现在,故确定用has been raining。

B
When I was 16, my father, in a burst of entrepreneurial spirit, bought an old guesthouse in our village and decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. At the early stages, he experimented with everything. My dad had never dipped a toe into the world of hospitality himself, yet he had a vision of what guests might desire. His standards were exceedingly high and he firmly believed that hard work was the golden ticket to achieving them.
For a month that summer, my name was on the duty list as waitress at breakfast and dinner, which included laying the tables and glass polishing. This gave me the middle of the day to hit the books because my school report had not lived up to my father’s high expectations.
Like all the other waitresses, I was equipped with a neat little uniform and instructions to treat the guests as though they were distinguished guests in my own home. Although I did not feel comfortable with this, I kept my feelings under wraps. Instead, I focused intently on performing the job as well as, if not better than, the older girls.
I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening elements in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon. He had an impressive chef’s hat and an ability to lose his temper for no clear reason. His breath was strong and fishy, and I always grabbed the dishes he set down with a forbidding expression on my face which was transformed into a charming smile between two battlefields.
Breakfast waitressing was more enjoyable than the dinner shift. The guests came walking aimlessly into the dining room from seven thirty onwards, their eyes lighting up at the breathtaking view of the sea and islands framed by our dining-room windows. If the day looked promising, I would note down requests for boats and packed lunches along with their breakfast orders. It was a matter of pride to me that everyone got their order quickly, and I took pleasure in my ability to get on with the people at each table. It was funny how differently people behaved in the evening, talking with louder, colder voices, and not always returning my smile.
24 How was the writer’s father according to the first paragraph?
A. Visionary and sensitive. B. Industrious and caring.
C. Ambitious and cautious. D. Daring and demanding.
25. What did the writer mean by saying “I always grabbed the dishes... a charming smile between two battlefields”?
A. She adjusted her mood very quickly to better serve the diners.
B. She checked the food Gordon gave her in case it smelled fishy.
C. She drove Gordon mad because of the way she look the dishes.
D. She forbade Gordon from getting angry as the owner of the hotel.
26. Why did the writer enjoy serving breakfasts more than dinners?
A. The splendid daytime scenery lifted her mood.
B. It was more exciting to cater to challenging requests.
C. Distinguished guests were more punctual at breakfast.
D. She was delighted to establish friendly ties with diners.
27. What can be learned about the way the writer performed her job?
A. She managed to do it effortlessly due to the sense of duty.
B. She found all aspects of it enjoyable like the other waitresses.
C. She navigated it very well despite several difficulties she met.
D. She devoted herself to it at the cost of her academic performance.

【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者16岁时在父亲开设的旅馆中做服务员的经历,包括工作内容、与同事和客人的互动以及个人感受等。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I was 16, my father, in a burst of entrepreneurial spirit, bought an old guesthouse in our village and decided to turn it into a luxury hotel. At the early stages, he experimented with everything. My dad had never dipped a toe into the world of hospitality himself, yet he had a vision of what guests might desire. His standards were exceedingly high and he firmly believed that hard work was the golden ticket to achieving them. (我16岁那年,父亲突发企业家精神,买下了我们村里的一间旧宾馆,决定把它改造成一家豪华酒店。在早期阶段,他尝试了所有的东西。我父亲自己从未涉足过招待客人的世界,但他对客人的需求有一个预见。他的标准非常高,他坚信努力工作是实现这些目标的黄金门票)”可知,父亲从未涉足过酒店的世界,却准备开酒店,说明父亲是胆子大的,他的标准非常高,说明他是要求高的。故选D项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening elements in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon. He had an impressive chef’s hat and an ability to lose his temper for no clear reason. His breath was strong and fishy and I always grabbed the dishes he set down with a forbidding expression on my face which was transformed into a charming smile between two battlefields. (我很快就学会了如何应对厨房里两个最让人害怕的存在:洗碗机和厨师戈登。戈登戴着一顶引人注目的厨师帽,而且总是无缘无故地发脾气。他的口气很重,带着鱼腥味,而我每次接过他放下的盘子时,脸上都会露出一副禁止靠近的表情,但在两个“战场”之间,这种表情又会迅速转变成迷人的微笑)”可知,在两个“战场”之间,这种表情又会迅速转变成迷人的微笑,所以作者很快调整了心情,以便更好地为食客服务。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Breakfast waitressing was more enjoyable than the dinner shift. The guests came walking aimlessly into the dining room from seven thirty onwards, their eyes lighting up at the breathtaking view of the sea and islands framed by our dining-room windows. If the day looked promising, I would note down requests for boats and packed lunches along with their breakfast orders. It was a matter of pride to me that everyone got their order quickly, and I took pleasure in my ability to get on with the people at each table. It was funny how differently people behaved in the evening, talking with louder, colder voices, and not always returning my smile. (早餐时段做服务员比晚餐时段更愉快。从七点三十分开始,客人们漫无目的地走进餐厅,当他们看到餐厅窗户所框出的那片令人叹为观止的海景和岛屿风光时,眼中闪烁着兴奋的光芒。如果天气看起来不错,我会在记录他们的早餐订单时,一并记下他们对船只和野餐便当的需求。能够迅速满足每个人的需求对我来说是一种骄傲,我很享受能与每张桌子上的人融洽相处的能力。有趣的是,人们在晚上的表现是多么的不同,他们说话的声音更大、更冷淡,而且并不总是回应我的微笑)”可知,来吃早餐的人比吃晚餐的人更能建立友好关系,所以作者更喜欢提供早餐而不是晚餐。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Like all the other waitresses, I was equipped with a neat little uniform and instructions to treat the guests as though they were distinguished guests in my own home. Although I did not feel comfortable with this, I kept my feelings under wraps. Instead,I focused intently on performing the job as well as, if not better than, the older girls. (像所有其他女服务员一样,我也穿着整洁的小制服,并得到指示,要像对待自己家里的贵宾一样对待客人。虽然我对此感到不舒服,但我还是把自己的感受隐藏起来。相反,我专注于把工作做得和年长的女孩们一样好,如果不是更好的话)”以及第四段中“I soon learned how to handle the two most frightening elements in the kitchen: the dishwasher and the chef, Gordon. (我很快就学会了如何处理厨房里最可怕的两个设备:洗碗机和厨师戈登)”可知,尽管遇到了一些困难,她还是设法做得更好。故选C项。
C
Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood intersection between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism, materialism… perhaps even a new type of president.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for self-entitlement. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Earnest confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unwittingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼的) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of humility and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble - even when they use their strengths.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Approximately a quarter of kids are potential narcissists.
B. Both strengths psychology and narcissism are difficult to understand.
C. An increasing number of youth are showing an inflated sense of self.
D. Knowing the kids’ strengths has an opposite effect on making them feel good.
29. Why are teenagers’ strengths often mistaken for narcissism?
A. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
B. Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public.
C. Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism.
D. A number of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards strength-based parenting?
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Cautious. D. Favorable.
31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis. B. A Recipe for Self-entitlement.
C. Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood. D. Binary Thinking of Psychological Science.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青少年的自信被误解的现象及原因。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism, materialism… (现在有令人信服的证据表明,自恋正在上升,尤其是在我们的年轻人中。一些研究人员甚至说,这种现象正在流行,大约25%的年轻人表现出自恋的症状。“我的一代”的自我膨胀反映在电视真人秀、名人崇拜、失控的消费主义、物质主义……)”可知,越来越多的年轻人表现出膨胀的自我意识。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. (为什么会出现这种情况?部分原因是人们对自恋的了解比对优势的了解要多。虽然优势心理学在很大程度上停留在学术期刊的范围内,或者只在工作场所等特定环境中应用,但对自恋的研究已经进入了大众媒体和我们的集体意识。)”可知,青少年的优点经常被误认为是自恋是因为优势心理学不太容易为大众所接受。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble - even when they use their strengths. (人们很容易得出这样的结论:每个年轻人都有成为自恋者的风险,但我想为我共事过的成千上万的年轻人说话,他们关心他人、有思想、谦逊——即使他们发挥了自己的长处。)”可推知,作者很赞成以儿童的优势为基础的方法。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood intersection between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋). (一个恰当的例子是基于优势的科学和关于自恋的研究之间微妙且被误解的重叠。)”及最后一段“It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble - even when they use their strengths. (人们很容易得出这样的结论:每个年轻人都有成为自恋者的风险,但我想为我接触过的成千上万的年轻人挺身而出,他们关心他人、体贴他人、谦逊——即使他们在发挥自己的优势时也是如此。)”可推知,本文主要介绍了青少年的自信被误解的现象及原因。由此可知,C选项“被误解的青少年的自信”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
D
For the arts “to mean more, to more people”, as Arts Council England (ACE) argues that they should, would be excellent. Music, drama, dance, visual arts, poetry and literature are among the most precious human achievements. To live in a country in which these are more widely shared and enjoyed would be proof that we are making progress. The point is not to entertain or educate people, or bring communities together. Nor is it all about boosting jobs and investment. Imagination has intrinsic (内在的) value, and research carried out by ACE in the course of preparing its 10-year strategy showed that people from all walks of life value and get pleasure from cultural activities.
Positioning itself as a development agency, ACE will now hope to win government backing for a change of direction that orients it away from the biggest and most famous national institutions and towards the towns, villages and grassroots organizations that should be similarly deserving of attention. There, it imagines a role for itself “building the identity and prosperity of places,” bringing professional artists together with voluntary groups, particular in areas that have previously not been well represented on the cultural map.
ACE’s chair, Sir Nicholas Serota, quotes the first world war centenary project devised by the artist, Jeremy Deller, and theatre director, Rufus Norris, as the model of what he wants his organization to be about. By acting as soldiers, and orchestrating their encounters with members of the public in settings across England, the artists succeeded in “dissolving the barriers between artists and audiences.”
To what extent the vision that ACE wants to promote cultural engagement so as to transform the passive spectators into the active participants is realized will depend in part on whether ACE’s ambitions catch the government’s interest sufficiently to influence the upcoming spending review, and provide a counterweight to the scorn (轻视) that is regularly poured on the humanities. Around £400m has been cut from local government arts budgets since 2010, and ACE cannot meet the financial needs. The closure of youth clubs and live music venues, and growing financial pressures linked to the property market, are among other reasons for this worrisome narrowing of opportunities. So far Boris Johnson has offered few signs that he has in mind a starring role for the arts in post-Brexit Britain, although 2022’s Festival of Brexit is one such event. ACE’s plan should boost the profile of all those, in government and outside, who are arguing for more.
32. What is the purpose of making arts available to more people?
A. To consolidate various communities. B. To maximize the natural value of art.
C. To create job opportunities for artists. D. To enlighten people from all walks of life.
33. What place is ACE most likely to promote the arts according to the passage?
A. Rural settlements. B. Local governments.
C. Commercial centers. D. National organization.
34. Which of the following statements would Sir Nicholas Serota most probably agree with?
A. Artists and audiences can create and enjoy the arts together without barriers.
B. Audiences with little education can also gain pleasure from cultural activities.
C. The soldiers and volunteers should vividly show scenes about the First World War.
D. Science, technology and maths are more important than humanities and arts nowadays.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The British government has done enough to promote arts.
B. For the arts to get revitalized more extensive efforts are needed.
C. ACE should narrow the financial gap left by the local government.

【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了ACE希望艺术面向更多人,以及ACE为推动艺术发展所做的努力。ACE主席希望艺术能够消除艺术家和观众之间的障碍,让更多人参与其中,ACE还希望政府能够重视艺术,为艺术发展提供支持。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For the arts “to mean more, to more people”, as Arts Council England (ACE) argues that they should, would be excellent. Music, drama, dance, visual arts, poetry and literature are among the most precious human achievements. To live in a country in which these are more widely shared and enjoyed would be proof that we are making progress.(正如英国艺术委员会(ACE)所主张的那样,艺术“对更多的人意味着更多”,这将是极好的。音乐、戏剧、舞蹈、视觉艺术、诗歌和文学是人类最宝贵的成就。生活在一个更广泛地分享和享受这些的国家,将证明我们正在取得进步)”可知,让更多人接触艺术的目的是最大化艺术的自然价值。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Positioning itself as a development agency, ACE will now hope to win government backing for a change of direction that orients it away from the biggest and most famous national institutions and towards the towns, villages and grassroots organizations that should be similarly deserving of attention.(ACE将自己定位为一个发展机构,现在希望赢得政府的支持,改变方向,使其从最大和最著名的国家机构转向同样值得关注的城镇、村庄和基层组织)”可知,ACE最有可能推广艺术的地方是农村居民点。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“ACE’s chair, Sir Nicholas Serota, quotes the first world war centenary project devised by the artist, Jeremy Deller, and theatre director, Rufus Norris, as the model of what he wants his organization to be about. By acting as soldiers, and orchestrating their encounters with members of the public in settings across England, the artists succeeded in “dissolving the barriers between artists and audiences.”(ACE主席尼古拉斯·塞罗塔爵士引用了由艺术家杰里米·戴勒和戏剧导演鲁弗斯·诺里斯设计的第一次世界大战百年纪念项目,作为他希望他的组织的模式。通过扮演士兵,并在英国各地的场景中精心安排他们与公众的相遇,艺术家们成功地“消除了艺术家和观众之间的障碍”)”可知,ACE主席Nicholas Serota爵士希望ACE能够像第一次世界大战百年纪念项目一样,消除艺术家和观众之间的障碍,让艺术家和观众能够一起创造和享受艺术。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“To what extent the vision that ACE wants to promote cultural engagement so as to transform the passive spectators into the active participants is realized will depend in part on whether ACE’s ambitions catch the government’s interest sufficiently to influence the upcoming spending review, and provide a counterweight to the scorn (轻视) that is regularly poured on the humanities.(ACE希望在多大程度上促进文化交流,从而将被动的观众转变为积极的参与者,这一愿景的实现将部分取决于ACE的雄心是否能充分吸引政府的兴趣,从而影响即将到来的支出审查,并平衡经常涌入人文学科的蔑视)”以及“So far Boris Johnson has offered few signs that he has in mind a starring role for the arts in post-Brexit Britain, although 2022’s Festival of Brexit is one such event. ACE’s plan should boost the profile of all those, in government and outside, who are arguing for more.(到目前为止,鲍里斯·约翰逊几乎没有表现出他想在脱欧后的英国扮演艺术主角的迹象,尽管2022年的英国脱欧节就是这样一个活动。ACE的计划应该会提高政府内外那些要求更多的人的形象)”可知,ACE 的计划能否实现,部分取决于ACE的雄心是否能引起政府的兴趣,从而影响即将到来的支出审查,并为经常被轻视的人文学科提供一个平衡。ACE的计划应该会提高政府内外所有主张更多的人的形象。由此可知,要使艺术得到振兴,需要更广泛的努力。故选B。

The Hardest Novel I’ve Ever Read
For the last three months, I have glared at its fat heavy form on my floor with a vague sense of personal failure. I have opened Ulysses twice, determined to finish it, and managed to get all the way to page 46. ____36____
____37____ I like the community this book has created, its inherent sense of freedom and celebration of all things rude and true. I like that the style and language allow for readers to choose how they read it — some recommend skipping chapter three, others suggest reading it only after reading ABOUT it but I still get stuck.
Why do I get stuck? ____38____ On the “Most Difficult Novels” list on the Goodreads website, Joyce takes the top two spots, with Ulysses ranking first and Finnegans Wake following it. I think what is restricting me to page 46 is the language: the big fat burst of Chaucerian English with slang and jaunty dialogue that, while entertaining me, is also leaving me a little lost.
There are a few other “worthy” works of literature I have yet to read, including Infinite Jest and War and Peace. ____39____ I really want to love Ulysses. I feel deeply frustrated that I can’t finish it, all the while appreciating its uniqueness, weightiness and special “Joyceness.”
The English writer Virginia Woolf thought Ulysses was nonsense as she complained in her diaries about the pressure to finish reading it. By contrast, Vladimir Nabokov, the author who wrote Lolita expressed deep love for it. ____40____ I have read it similar to a long marriage (something unpleasant, big reward at the end), modern Jazz-fusion (an innovative genre) and boxing match with oneself (wanting to punch yourself in the face), which is how I felt by page 46.
Some people love Ulysses, so where am I getting wrong? My ultimate hope is that the struggle will be worth the effort and I can proceed victorious onto page 800 or so, on my third fourth, eighteenth try. Something tells me I will get there in the end.
A. I’m not entirely sure myself.
B. A lot of them are weighty tomes (巨著), but I like big books.
C. I have read so little both times that I have never bothered using a bookmark.
D. It seems that reading Ulysses is a big different experience for everyone.
E. Even when staring at pages without absorbing a word, I thought nice thoughts about it.
F. They, however, only cause me a slight sense of shame that I have not read or enjoyed them.
G. I have been amused and charmed by the first two or three chapters, and then puzzled and bored.
【答案】36. C 37. G 38. A 39. F 40. D

【38题详解】
上文“Why do I get stuck?(为什么我被卡住了?)”提出问题,下文“I think what is restricting me to page 46 is the language: the big fat burst of Chaucerian English with slang and jaunty dialogue that, while entertaining me, is also leaving me a little lost.(我想把我限制在第46页的是语言:大量的乔叟式英语,俚语和欢快的对话,在逗乐我的同时,也让我有点迷失。)”给出了作者认为可能的原因,空格处也应该分析被卡住的原因,A项“I’m not entirely sure myself.(我自己也不太确定。)”是作者分析的原因,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选A。
【39题详解】
上文“There are a few other “worthy” works of literature I have yet to read, including Infinite Jest and War and Peace.(我还没有读过其他一些“有价值”的文学作品,包括《无尽的玩笑》和《战争与和平》。)”讲作者还未读的有价值的其它文学作品,空格处要对这些作品进行描述,F项“They, however, only cause me a slight sense of shame that I have not read or enjoyed them.(然而,它们只会让我感到些许羞愧,因为我没有读过它们,也没有欣赏过它们。)”是作者对前面作品的描述,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选F。
【40题详解】
上文“The English writer Virginia Woolf thought Ulysses was nonsense as she complained in her diaries about the pressure to finish reading it. By contrast, Vladimir Nabokov, the author who wrote Lolita expressed deep love for it.(英国作家Virginia Woolf在日记中抱怨读完《尤利西斯》的压力很大,她认为这本书毫无意义。相反,《洛丽塔》的作者Vladimir Nabokov对《尤利西斯》表达了深深的喜爱。)”讲英国作家Virginia Woolf和《洛丽塔》的作者Vladimir Nabokov在读《尤利西斯》的不同体验,空格处应该对这些不同的体验进行评论,D项“It seems that reading Ulysses is a big different experience for everyone.(似乎阅读《尤利西斯》对每个人来说都是一种截然不同的体验。)”是对上文内容的总结,承接上文,符合语境,故选D。

【详解】考查动词短语、副词和非谓语动词。句子在描述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时;主语“卢克”用名词Luke,“沉下脸来”可用动词短语sink down;“生气地瞪了她一眼”可看作是伴随的行为,用分词作状语,“瞪某人一眼”可用动词短语glare at,“她”用代词her,“生气地”可用副词angrily,glare at和Luke逻辑上是主动关系,因此glare用现在分词的形式。故可译为:Luke sank down, glaring angrily at her.
77. 他气得张口结舌,一句话也说不出来。(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He was so tongue-tied that he could not say a word.
【解析】
【详解】考查结果状语从句、形容词和动词短语。句子应该是描述过去发生的事情,时态宜用一般过去时;句子可用so… that…引导结果状语从句,表示生气的程度导致了后面这一结果;主句的主语“他”用代词he,“(因生气而)张口结舌”可用be动词was和形容词tongue-tied搭配,构成系表结构,so放在tongue-tied之前,表示其程度;从句中隐含的主语“他”用代词he,“不能”用情态动词could和not,“说出一句话”可用动词短语say a word,情态动词后say用原形。故可译为:He was so tongue-tied that he could not say a word.
78. 他的内心充满愤怒和悲伤。(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】His heart was filled with anger/rage and grief.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、固定短语。表示“他的内心”用his heart,作主语,位于句首,首字母大写。表示“充满”用be filled with,本句描述过去的动作和状态,故时态用一般过去时,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用was。表示“愤怒”用anger/rage,表示“悲伤”用grief,用anger/rage and grief作宾语。故翻译为His heart was filled with anger/rage and grief.
79. 简无法抑制她的愤怒,愤怒地用拳头猛锤桌子。(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Unable to suppress her anger, Jane angrily hammered the table with her fists.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、动词不定式、副词。表示“无法做某事”用unable to do sth.,在句中作状语,置于句首,首字母大写。表示“抑制”用动词suppress,位于不定式符号to后,动词用原形。表示“她的愤怒”用her anger,作suppress的宾语。表示“简”用Jane,作主语。表示“用她的拳头猛锤桌子”用hammer the table with her fists,本句描述过去的动作,故时态用一般过去时,谓语用过去式hammered。表示“愤怒地”用副词angrily,作状语,修饰hammered。故翻译为:Unable to suppress her anger, Jane angrily hammered the table with her fists.
80. 愤怒的抱怨声在人群中迅速蔓延。(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Angry complaints spread quickly among the crowd.
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词、名词、动词和副词。句子在描述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时;主语“愤怒的抱怨声”可用名词短语angry complaints,谓语“蔓延”可用动词spread,“迅速”可用副词quickly,“在……中”可用介词among,“人群”可用名词the crowd。故可译为:Angry complaints spread quickly among the crowd.
第五部分 读后续写(满分25分)
81. 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短文。
I stood with my friends in a line. My heart was hammering like anything, my hands cold and wet, my head buzzing with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I earnestly listened to the names of the house captains (社长) being announced, but in my heart, I wanted it to end because then the head girl would be announced. I so wanted it to be me.
I had made countless posters badges and bracelets for the campaigning. Instead of having lunch during the lunch time, I had gone from person to person, asking them to vote for me. I had shouted at the top of my lungs the slogan, “East or West, Maryam is the best! Vote for her and your year will be best."
I had tried my hardest to convince people to vote for me, now all I had left was hope.
“Guess who the head girl for the year is?" teased the announcer.
A heavy silence fell, one that was full of hope and expectation, of fear and of nervousness.
The announcer teased for a minute or two before finally announcing the name of the head girl.
I felt confused as my friends pushed me out of the line. As I looked at the huge crowd clapping for me, I could not believe that I was the head girl of the school. The head of the council body. The student that was respected and liked by everybody.
From then on, I enjoyed the respect I got in and out of school. At home, my family members praised me and at school everyone looked up to me. They thought I was an inspiration as well as someone they could get motivated by. I had power. I could talk to the school principal and convince her to do anything. I could order around other council members and ask them to do anything.
But as days passed, I realized that with power comes responsibility

Paragraph 1:
I was given countless responsibility along with my studies.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The principal listened attentively, her concern clearly written on her face.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A possible version:
I was given countless responsibilities along with my studies. I had to check students’ uniform, keep an alert mind for bullies, and maintain order when students queue up for meals. My energy and the excitement drained out of me as I realized that with a position comes burdens. As a result, my marks dropped dramatically and I eventually broke down. One day, I found myself in the principal’s office, telling her with deep sorrow that I could no longer be the head girl.
The principal listened attentively, her concern clearly written on her face. She put her hand on my shoulder and expressed her understanding. She suggested I turn to the former head girl and find some assistants. I was doubtful at first, but my doubts vanished as the suggestions proved very helpful. Now I felt I would be able to do this and at the same time ace at my studies. When you ask for power, you should be prepared to accept the responsibilities that come with it too.
