Ⅴ.参考范文
Dear Alice,
How is everything going?Im so happy to know that you are
interested in Chinese traditional arts from your letter.
In my opinion,learning Chinese New Year paintings is the best
choice. As is known to us all,Chinese people would like to put up
pictures to celebrate the Spring Festival. Chinese New Year paintings
cover various subjects,like historical stories,harvests,flowers and
birds. As you are good at painting,I believe you can learn the art
well quickly. By learning it,you can know more about Chinese
culture,and improve your drawing skills.
Im looking forward to seeing you soon in China.
Yours,
Li Hua

要好。
1. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“my father is a businessman
by day and a thrillseeker by night”可知,作者的父亲白天是个

二、培优提升训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Like Indiana Jones (a fictional character),who
undertakes daring adventures in his spare time,my
father is a businessman by day and a thrillseeker by
night.
His enthusiasm rubbed off on me,and I have
been lucky to be his companion on many adventures.
We started out by riding Americas fastest,most
twisted roller coasters. After that a whitewater rafting
trip through the Grand Canyon(峡谷)on the Colorado
River started our search for other extreme thrills across
the globe.
Amazing thrills awaited us at every corner of the
world. Skydiving was especially thrilling when
performed from a helicopter over the breathtaking
Swiss Alps. We have bungee jumped from the worl
ds
—781—
highest platform,Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa.
Most recently, in Interlaken, Switzerland, we
attempted canyoning(溪降运动).
Anyone who loves a challenging thrill should try
canyoning. Our adventure began with a 90foot rope
down a canyon wall into a rushing icecold river. Then
we crossed the bonechilling water toward the mouth of
the river,our final destination,where the reward for
the journey would be a whole view of the beautiful
Interlaken basin. We slid over slippery rocks at one
moment,jumped from waterfalls and swam through
underwater tunnels the next. Back and forth we
alternated,climbing rope ladders before going back
into the fresh mountain water. Certainly,danger was
waiting for us in each of these activities,but that very
danger provided the rush. Canyoning was indeed one
thrill after another,from beginning to end.
While canyoning is possible only in certain
places,thrills and adventures can be found anywhere.
Our beginnings in the US showed us just that. We
continue to seek the big thrills,but in doing so,we
have learned to seek lesser excitement in daily life as
well. After all,we cant go canyoning every day,and
small thrills are better than none for us thrillseekers.
1. What do we know about the authors father?
A. He is a very successful businessman.
B. He is doing a parttime job.
C. He likes Indiana Jones very much.

attempting canyoning?

the icy water.
B. Jumped down a canyon river and crossed it.
C. Climbed over a rope ladder and swam through
underwater tunnels.
D. Climbed down a canyon wall and swam across
the rushing icy river.
4. What does the author want to tell us in the last
paragraph?

B. We had better go abroad to experience
canyoning.
C. Canyoning is not suitable for everyone.
D. America is the most proper place to experience
adventures.
B
Scrolling through Instagram can quickly convince
you that everyones life is more interesting than yours.
During a particularly adventurous week on Instagram
Stories recently,I saw water skiing in Maui,hiking in
Yosemite and swimming with wild pigs in Bermuda. I
started Googling flights to new places. Then I ordered
pho, Vietnams national dish, from the same
Vietnamese place I eat at every week and returned to
the same old routine and. . . felt bad about not trying
somewhere new.
Evolutionarily,human brains tend to find
newfangled experiences more exciting and attention
grabbing than repeat experiences. They cant process
all the stimuli(刺激)around us,so we evolved to pay
attention to new,flashy and potentially dangerous
things more intently than familiar things,which weve
seen enough to know theyre not dangerous. Whats
more,words like“repetition”and “repetitiveness”
tend to be associated with more negative emotions.
However, recent research published in the
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests
we ought to reconsider how we digest those feelings of
monotony(单调). Some previous research has painted
a negative picture of repeat experiences,saying that
doing the same thing twice can feel less valuable. But
Ed OBrien, a professor of behavioral science,
wondered whether people actually underestimate how
positively they react to repeat experiences.
To test this theory,Mr. OBrien and his team
exposed all participants to the same stimulus once in
full(various stimuli were tested,including museum
visits,movies and video games). Next,after dividing
them into two groups,the first group of participants
were asked to imagine repeating the experience,while
the second actually did repeat the experience
. Counter
—881—
to previous research,Mr. OBrien found that across
the board,repeat experiences were far more enjoyable
than participants predicted. In other words:Youre far
more likely to enjoy something the second time around
than you think.
“Brandnew experiences are definitely great for
enjoyment,”said Mr. OBrien.“And our studies dont
go against this idea. In many cases,the brandnew
option is better. But,what our studies emphasize is
that repeat options also might have high hedonic(快乐
的)value and might also come with lower costs to
acquire than a purely new option.”
5. What did the author think of her own life?
A. It included many exciting things.
B. It depended heavily on social media.
C. It was highly adventurous.
D. It was boringly repetitive.
6. How do our brains usually respond to stimuli from
familiar things?
A. They may pay little attention to them.
B. They may process them first.
C. They may feel uncertain of them.
D. They may consider them as positive things.
7. What is the meaning of the underlined word in
paragraph 2?
A. Fictional. B. Fascinating.
C. Novel. D. Significant.
8. What did the second group of participants do during
the experiment?
A. They experienced the same stimuli twice.
B. They imagined their old experiences twice.
C. They repeated similar activities many times.
D. They predicted the first groups experienc
es.
