(二)阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中， 选择最佳选项。 B One day, Charles’s father said to his son, “Charles, would you like to make some money by pulling up the weeds (野草) in the garden?” “Yes, Dad,” said Charles. “I’ d love to. Will you pay me one dollar for every hour I work?” “Yes,I will,” said his father. “How many hours do you think it will take?” asked Charles. “It will take about three hours,” said his father. “Then I will have just enough to buy a new ball.” Charles began to work the next morning. After working about ten minutes, he ran into the house to see what time it was. His cousin John was in the garden when he came out, and they talked for a while about dogs and horses. After John left, Charles worked very hard for five minutes, and then ran into the house again to look at the clock. He soon came back, but pulled up only a few weeds when he found a beautiful flower. He sat down to look at it, and called in some boys to show it to them. As soon as the boys were gone, he went again to look at the clock, and found that it was just one hour since he had first gone into the garden. Charles went to his father and was very surprised when his father told him that he would not pay him for an hour’s work. “I did not agree to pay you for playing, talking or looking at flowers. I was to pay you for pulling up weeds,” said his father. “When you do one thing, you should give all your attention to it and not think about anything else,” he added. Hearing that, Charles lowered his head and stood deep in thought. 20. Charles could make some money by _________. A. walking the dogs B. pulling up the weeds C. planting the flowers D. looking after his cousin 21. Why did Charles run into the house again and again? A. To look at the clock. B. To have a rest. C. To look for his father. D. To buy a new ball. 22. This experience taught Charles a lesson that _________. A. it is not easy to pull up the weeds B. it is important to work for the family C. one should spend time with friends D. one should work with full attention C Imagine you are going to give a speech the next day. The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you’re prepared enough. Well, you might be overthinking. Overthinking means going over the same thought again and again, analyzing (分析) the simplest matters or events too much. According to The Conversation overthinking comes from one of our instincts (本能). The mind will always see things in the worst possible light. Our brains are always looking for threats (威胁), to make a plan to deal with those threats and keep us safe. Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible angle (角度) and get ready for what might happen. However research suggests that overthinking can make us feel worried or nervous. What's more, overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others. As you think the worst, make incorrect guesses, or worry about every little thing others do and say, you might misunderstand their real intentions(意图). So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can distract yourself for a bit. That means you can take your attention away from what you are trying to do. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you’re doing something fun, like gardening, or even while you' re sleeping. Also, when you find yourself overthinking, try to question these thoughts. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possibilities. It can be hard at first, but recognizing (辨别出) that you are overthinking can help you make a change. 23. According to the passage, overthinking can make people _________. A have more to worry about B. solve problems easily C. think less about simple events D. get on well with others 24. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How to stop overthinking. B. What makes overthinking happen. C. Why overthinking is helpful. D. What problems overthinking brings. 25. To stop overthinking, the writer thinks we can _________ . A. try to go over matters or events quickly B. make a plan to deal with possible threats C. turn our attention to something enjoyable D. think of the worst possibility of a problem D Think about how much time you spent outside last week. Really“outside”. Walking from the car into the mall doesn’t count. Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV. You may say “I play inside more than outside and I like to play games on the computer.” If so, it’s likely that you spent more time inside four walls than outside in fresh air. Kids today spend two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago.That’s according to a University of Michigan study. Non-moving activities are more popular. The costs “include overweight, greater stress (压力), higher possibility of physical and emotional (情绪上的) illness and less joy…,” says Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. Playing is important, even for adults (成人). Just getting outdoors does wonders. Outdoor activity betters your senses. The next time you sit down to message your friends, take note of your senses during and after your texting. Then do the same experiment after you’ve done something outside. You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life. “Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses,” says Betsy Keller. She’s a professor of exercise and sports sciences at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight... all of your senses are in use when you’re outside.” Outdoor play frees your mind. Are you stressed out? Having trouble putting your mind to what you’re doing? Too much time indoors, away from the natural world, may be a cause (起因). Louv uses a term to describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature-deficit disorder. He says, “I use it to describe the price we pay for being away from nature.” Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. When you’re out, breathe in fresh air, hear the leaves crackle’(噼啪作响) underfoot and search for cool birds and plants in the woods. It can help you feel more connected (有联系的) to the natural world. No woods nearby? Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park. So the next time you sit down to spend time with a video game, think about treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Playing outside is more important for kids than adults. B. Kids spend more time outdoors now than twenty years ago. C. Being so close to nature is the cause of nature-deficit disorder. D. Non-moving activities bring problems for both mind and body. 27. What does the word “hone” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean? A. Protect. B. Improve. C. Share. D. Record. 28. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To discuss how to get closer to nature. B. To explain why people like to play indoors. C. To encourage people to spend time outdoors. D. To introduce different kinds of outdoor activities. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达(第 29-31 题每题 2 分, 第 32 题 4 分, 共 10 分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When winter comes, Harbin turns into a world of ice and snow.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了过度思考的定义、原因、影响以及如何识别和控制过度思考。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“However, research suggests that overthinking can make us feel worried or nervous.”可知，过度思考会让人有更多担忧。故选A。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“According to The Conversation, overthinking comes from one of our instincts (本能).”可知，本段主要讲述了过度思考发生的原因。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can distract yourself for a bit. That means you can take your attention away from what you are trying to do.”可知，为了停止过度思考，作者认为我们可以把注意力转移到令人愉快的事情上。故选C。 D Think about how much time you spent outside last week. Really“outside”. Walking from the car into the mall doesn’t count. Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV. You may say, “I play inside more than outside and I like to play games on the computer.” If so, it’s likely that you spent more time inside four walls than outside in fresh air. Kids today spend two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago.That’s according to a University of Michigan study. Non-moving activities are more popular. The costs “include overweight, greater stress (压力), higher possibility of physical and emotional (情绪上的) illness and less joy…,” says Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. Playing is important, even for adults (成人). Just getting outdoors does wonders. Outdoor activity betters your senses. The next time you sit down to message your friends, take note of your senses during and after your texting. Then do the same experiment after you’ve done something outside. You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life. “Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses,” says Betsy Keller. She’s a professor of exercise and sports sciences at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight... all of your senses are in use when you’re outside.” Outdoor play frees your mind. Are you stressed out? Having trouble putting your mind to what you’re doing? Too much time indoors, away from the natural world, may be a cause (起因). Louv uses a term to describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature-deficit disorder. He says, “I use it to describe the price we pay for being away from nature.” Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. When you’re out, breathe in fresh air, hear the leaves crackle’(噼啪作响) underfoot and search for cool birds and plants in the woods. It can help you feel more connected (有联系的) to the natural world. No woods nearby? Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park. So the next time you sit down to spend time with a video game, think about treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Playing outside is more important for kids than adults. B. Kids spend more time outdoors now than twenty years ago. C. Being so close to nature is the cause of nature-deficit disorder. D. Non-moving activities bring problems for both mind and body. 27. What does the word “hone” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean? A. Protect. B. Improve. C. Share. D. Record. 28. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To discuss how to get closer to nature. B. To explain why people like to play indoors. C. To encourage people to spend time outdoors. D. To introduce different kinds of outdoor activities. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了户外运动的好处。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The costs ‘include overweight, greater stress (压力), higher possibility of physical and emotional (情绪上的) illness and less joy…,’”可知不动的活动会产生一些代价，包括超重、更大的压力、更高的身体和精神疾病发病率以及更少的快乐。故选D。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life. ‘Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses’”可知，徒步旅行、探险和钓鱼有助于磨练你的所有感官，故此处划线部分和improve意义相近。故选B。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了户外运动的好处。鼓励人们多进行户外运动。故选C。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达(第 29-31 题每题 2 分, 第 32 题 4 分, 共 10 分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When winter comes, Harbin turns into a world of ice and snow.
