Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four years. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired.
Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable (脆弱的) and invisible.” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.”
At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor (指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations.
A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a means for teens to get their ideas out, it enables girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said.
Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. “If only I could join in such a program when I was 15! An organization where people spend their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job.’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.”
4. Why did Sansa join WriteGirl?
A. To overcome her writing block. B. To train a professional writer.
C. To release her negative emotions. D. To acquire a sense of security.
5. What makes WriteGirl different from other organizations?
A. It turns teen girls into mentors.
B. It ensures girls’ entry to college.
C. It aims to produce skilled writers.
D. It exposes girls to varied writing styles.
6. What do the underlined words “mic and rant” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A daily writing task. B. A recitation of poetry.
C. A session for idea creation. D. A skillful expression activity.
7. What does Danyella Wilder imply in the last paragraph?
A. Mentorship is an amazing pursuit.
B. Positive feedback is vital to teen girls.
C. Mentoring is a time-consuming process.
D. Criticism at a young age can be harmful.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.
8 What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets.
9. What information does the convenient app offer?
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
10. What can be concluded about BMF employees?
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D. They have a strong environmental awareness.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management.
C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A

(通过云连接,对BMF进行远程监控。此外,还有一个方便的应用程序可以实时提供不断增长的数据。由于该系统是自动化的,因此大大减少了种植植物所需的水量。该系统不是给一排排土壤浇水,而是为每株植物提供合适的水量)”以及最后一段“BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.

Independent will is what really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon.
The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has won against unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic evidence to the value, the power of the independent will. But as we examine it in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime effort that brings enduring success. Empowerment comes from learning how to use independent will in the decisions we make every day.
The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal integrity. Integrity is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep commitments to ourselves — to “walk our talk.” It’s honor with self, a fundamental part of the character ethic, the essence of active growth.
Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline, carrying it out.
Discipline stems from disciple (追随者) — disciple to a philosophy, disciple to a set of principles, disciple to a set of values, and disciple to an ultimate. purpose. In other words, if you are an effective manager of your self, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a disciple, a follower, of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the integrity, to place your feelings, your urges, your moods after those values.
That placement requires a purpose, a mission. It also requires independent will, the power to do something when you don’t want to do it, to be a function of your values rather than a function of the urge or desire of any given moment. It’s the power to act with integrity to your first creation.
12. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “the Helen Kellers” in paragraph 2?
A. To explain a reason. B. To highlight a point.
C. To make a prediction. D. To give a definition.
13. What do the underlined words “walk our talk” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Put words into deeds. B. Display confidence.
C. Stop talking big. D. Strike a balance.
14. To achieve effective self-management, what will the author probably recommend?
A. Seeking external support. B. Undertaking more missions.
C. Sticking to one’s own values. D. Following one’s desires.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Secret Behind Self-discipline B. The Magic of Personal Integrity
C. The Power of Independent Will D. The Road to Effective Management
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要论述的是独立意志的力量。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic evidence to the value, the power of the independent will. But as we examine it in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime effort that brings enduring success. Empowerment comes from learning how to use independent will in the decisions we make every day.(这个世界上的海伦·凯勒们戏剧性地证明了独立意志的价值和力量。但当我们在有效自我管理的背景下审视它时,我们意识到,通常不是戏剧性的、可见的、一生一次的努力带来持久的成功。赋权来自于学习如何在我们每天做的决定中运用独立意志。)”可知,作者在第二段提到“海伦·凯勒们”的目的是强调作者后面提到的观点,故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“It’s our ability to make and keep commitments to ourselves(它是我们对自己做出承诺并信守承诺的能力)”可知,划线短语walk our talk的意思是“信守承诺,把言语付诸行动”,和put words into deeds意思相近,故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“In other words, if you are an effective manager of your self, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a disciple, a follower, of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the integrity, to place your feelings, your urges, your moods after those values.(换句话说,如果你是一个有效的自我管理者,你的自律来自内心;它是你独立意志的功能。你是自己内心深处的价值观及其源头的门徒、追随者。你有意志,正直,把你的感觉,你的欲望,你的情绪放在这些价值观之后。)”可知,为了实现有效的自我管理,作者可能会推荐坚持自己的价值观。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Independent will is what really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon.(独立意志使有效的自我管理成为可能。它是一种做出决定和选择,并据此行动的能力。它是行动的能力,而不是被行动的能力。)”可知,本文主要讲的是独立意志的力量,因此最好的标题是C选项“The Power of Independent Will(独立意志的力量)”。故选C。

【答案】36. called
37. occurred
38. opportunities
39. a 40. to
41. which 42. Though##Although##While
43. be adjusted
44. hugely 45. demonstrating
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲的是秘鲁的中餐文化(Peruvian Chinese food),也被称为“chifa”。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在种类繁多的秘鲁食物中,有一种值得特别关注——秘鲁中餐,当地人称之为chifa。句中谓语是is,空格处用非谓语动词,Peruvian Chinese food和call之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词形式。故填called。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:它发生在19世纪中期。由时间状语“in the mid-nineteenth century”可知,句子时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式occurred。故填occurred。
【38题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:这反过来又为考虑在秘鲁开展业务的中国公民创造了有趣的机会。opportunity是可数名词,空前无限定词,所以使用名词复数形式表示泛指意义。故填opportunities。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:中国对秘鲁的影响不仅产生了一种融合的烹饪方式,而且还为秘鲁烹饪提供了一些绝对必要的食材。kind是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,kind是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国对秘鲁的影响不仅产生了一种融合的烹饪方式,而且还为秘鲁烹饪提供了一些绝对必要的食材。contribute...to...是固定短语,意为“把……捐献给……”,因此空格处用介词to。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:当然,还有“chifa”这个词,用来形容中国和秘鲁的融合食物,以及卖这种食物的餐馆。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词chifa是物,因此空格处用which。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:虽然chifa已经是两种菜系的融合,但它也受到更多地区差异的影响。根据语境可知,句子表示“虽然chifa已经是两种菜系的融合,但它也受到更多地区差异的影响”,空格处意为“虽然”,用though/although/while,引导让步状语从句,位于句首的单词首字母大写。故填Though/Although/While。
【43题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:食谱可以很容易地调整,包括只在特定地区可用或受欢迎的成分。adjust与主语Recipes 之间为被动关系,,空前有情态动词can,因此空格处是be adjusted。故填be adjusted。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:另一个有趣的事实是:非常受欢迎的深夜电视节目“Wantan Night”实际上是以chifa中使用的馄饨命名的,这表明中国菜在秘鲁有多么根深蒂固。空格处用副词修饰形容词popular,huge的副词为hugely意为“非常,极度”符合句意。故填hugely。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:另一个有趣的事实是:非常受欢迎的深夜电视节目“Wantan Night”实际上是以chifa中使用的馄饨命名的,这表明中国菜在秘鲁有多么根深蒂固。句中谓语是was actually named,空格处用非谓语动词,programme “Wantan Night”和demonstrate之间是主动关系,因此空格处用现在分词形式作状语。故填demonstrating。

Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four years. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired.
Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable (脆弱的) and invisible.” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.”
At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor (指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations.
A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a means for teens to get their ideas out, it enables girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said.
Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. “If only I could join in such a program when I was 15! An organization where people spend their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job.’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.”
4. Why did Sansa join WriteGirl?
A. To overcome her writing block. B. To train a professional writer.
C. To release her negative emotions. D. To acquire a sense of security.
5. What makes WriteGirl different from other organizations?
A. It turns teen girls into mentors.
B. It ensures girls’ entry to college.
C. It aims to produce skilled writers.
D. It exposes girls to varied writing styles.
6. What do the underlined words “mic and rant” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A daily writing task. B. A recitation of poetry.
C. A session for idea creation. D. A skillful expression activity.
7. What does Danyella Wilder imply in the last paragraph?
A. Mentorship is an amazing pursuit.
B. Positive feedback is vital to teen girls.
C. Mentoring is a time-consuming process.

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.
8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets.
9. What information does the convenient app offer?
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
10. What can be concluded about BMF employees?
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D They have a strong environmental awareness.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management.
C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards.
D
Independent will is what really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon.
The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has won against unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic evidence to the value, the power of the independent will. But as we examine it in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime effort that brings enduring success. Empowerment comes from learning how to use independent will in the decisions we make every day.
The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal integrity. Integrity is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep commitments to ourselves — to “walk our talk.” It’s honor with self, a fundamental part of the character ethic, the essence of active growth.
Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline, carrying it out.
Discipline stems from disciple (追随者) — disciple to a philosophy, disciple to a set of principles, disciple to a set of values, and disciple to an ultimate. purpose. In other words, if you are an effective manager of your self, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a disciple, a follower, of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the integrity, to place your feelings, your urges, your moods after those values.
That placement requires a purpose, a mission. It also requires independent will, the power to do something when you don’t want to do it, to be a function of your values rather than a function of the urge or desire of any given moment. It’s the power to act with integrity to your first creation.
12. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “the Helen Kellers” in paragraph 2?
A. To explain a reason. B. To highlight a point.
C. To make a prediction. D. To give a definition.
13. What do the underlined words “walk our talk” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Put words into deeds. B. Display confidence.
C. Stop talking big. D. Strike a balance.
14. To achieve effective self-management, what will the author probably recommend?
A. Seeking external support. B. Undertaking more missions.
C. Sticking to one’s own values. D. Following one’s desires.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Secret Behind Self-discipline B. The Magic of Personal Integrity
C. The Power of Independent Will D. The Road to Effective Management
