American copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, music, images and artworks. ____37____ The owner can sell a copyright or permit others to use it because it is property and property ownership is protected by law in the U. S.

First, there are computer programs and artificial intelligence, tools that compare students’ papers to large databases of published writing. ____39____ Second, if English is not a student’s first language, a professor might recognize a change in wording and writing style. This could bring more attention to the student’s paper.

Visitors to my home are often curious about the fact that my kids share a room. “How do you make it?” they ask, as if seeing some children in the same sleeping space is impossible. 16 I will share my practical tips below.
Set the sleepy environment. This applies to any child’s bedroom, but it’s particularly important to set bedtime when you've got multiple little ones sharing a space. 17 Get a white noise machine.
18 Regularity is key when putting young kids to bed in the same space. If they are close in ago, do it at the same time. We put all our children to bed by 7 p.m.. And we also wake them up at 7 a.m..
Some noise is OK. 19 They will need reminders not to care about it, to stay in bed, to settle down, and go to sleep. This is normal. Kids do wake up sometimes when babies cry, although I'm always amazed at how much they can sleep through once they are used to it.
Buy the right furniture. Invest in good space-saving furniture, like beds with drawers. 20 Try to keep the room dedicated for sleeping. This will make the room feel less cramped, which — at least for me — makes having multiple kids in the same place feel more manageable.
A.Stick to the schedule.
B.How do l make it work?
C.Keep toys to a minimum.
D.Again, regularity is key to success.
E.Kids in a shared room will make noise.
F.Use darkening curtains on the window and a closed door.
G.If your baby has trouble settling at bedtime, you can start the night in another room.

Getting older means greater maturity and wisdom. 16 In a society that is aging fast, it has become crucial to find ways to prevent related mental and emotional disorders. Music emerges as a promising tool for promoting well-being of the elderly.
Music has a great power to cause strong emotions and intense pleasure. 17 singing and dancing to music with others is not only fun but also improves mood. Musical activities are great ways to reduce stress because they take our minds off problems. They also help us feel less lonely and more connected with other people.
18 A song may become a soundtrack for a particular time, such as a delightful party with friends that you had along time ago. Listening to that song allows you to remember all the happy memories from that time.
Finally, music contributes to keeping our thinking skills sharp. It makes our brains work hard in unique ways to understand the rhythm and melody. 19 For example, exposure to background music, particularly classical music, during cognitive (认知的) tasks is shown to improve older people’s cognitive processes, such as processing speed and working memory.
In conclusion, music is a powerful tool to fight against aging-related emotional and cognitive problems. It is an enjoyable and social activity, available to anyone regardless of their background or previous musical experience. 20
A.Music can also open forgotten doors to our memories.
B.Recalling happy memories can lift our mood on a bad day.
C.Even passive music listening can help elderly adults think better.
D.This helps people feel better when they are depressed or anxious.
E.However, it often involves a series of physical and mental challenges.
F.The ability to form new memories is essential for processing information.
G.Thus, this accessible intervention should become a major policy priority for healthy aging.

Every week for the past thirty years, I have hosted a Sunday dinner in my home. People, including total strangers, call or e-mail to book a spot. I hold the salon in my studio. The first fifty people who call may come-twice that many when the weather is nice and we can overflow into the garden.
___36___Last week it was a philosophy student from Lisbon, and next week a dear friend from London will cook.
People from all corners of the world come to break bread together,to meet to talk,and often to become friends. All ages, nationalities, races, and professions gather here, and since there is no organized seating, the opportunity for connecting couldn’t be better. I love the randomness (随意).
I have a good memory^ so each week I make a point to remember everyone’s name on the guest list and where they’re from so I can introduce them to one another. If I had my way, I would introduce everyone in the whole world to one another.
___37___Many travelers go to see things like the Tower of London, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and so on. I travel to see friends,even-or especially-those I’ve never met.
In the late 1980s, I edited a series of guidebooks to different countries.___38___Instead, each book contained about a thousand biographies of people who would be willing to welcome travelers in their cities. Hundreds of friendships evolved from these encounters, including including marriages and babies.
The same can be said for my salon. At a recent dinner a six-year-old girl from Bosnia spent the entire evening glued to an eight-year-old boy from Estonia. Their parents were surprised, and pleased, by this immediate friendship.
___39___Most of them speak English, at least as a second language. Recently a dinner featured a typical mix: a beautiful painter from Norway, a truck driver from Arizona, a newspaper editor from Sydney and students from all over.
It is unnecessary to understand others; one must, at the very least, simply tolerate others.
___40___No one can ever really understand anyone else, but you can love them or at least accept them.
I am a world citizen. All human history is mine. My roots cover the earth. We should know each other. Okay, now come and dine.

When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. ___17___. As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.

But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. ___19___. After two weeks, start timing yourself. ___20___.

How To Deal With A Bully
Bullying is when someone misuses his authority( 权威) or power inside a relationship. 36 This behavior can cause physical and emotional harm on others and often leaves the victim feeling helpless.
It is never easy to deal with all the unwanted bullying even when you have done nothing wrong. 37 Here are some helpful ways to deal with a bully when you get bullied.
Ask Them To Stop
38 Sometimes when we do not speak up for ourselves, the bullies continue with their behavior thinking of us as easy targets. Telling them to stop in a firm and confident voice can make them reconsider their actions. This will work only if they have not yet established a pattern of bullying you. It is important to keep in mind that you are trying to de-escalate(弱化) the situation.
39
Bullies usually hunt for people who are alone or have isolated themselves from their surroundings. If you are with your friends, or if you are in the company of someone, it is least likely that the bully will disturb you. We are not asking you to make a huge circle of friends, but sometimes all it takes is one loyal friend who will stay by you no matter what.
Ignore Them
Another effective measure to ignore a bully is by ignoring them. They think of it as a game, and when they get an emotional response from you, it satisfies their ego. 40 So if they get nothing, they will stop bothering you because they will know you are not an easy one to attack.
A.Be Accompanied
B.Make More Friends
C.Asking the bully to stop is sometimes an effective measure to deal with them.
D.It can be outside of a relationship too as this behavior knows no bounds.
E.Such bullies will go around spreading rumors and false news.
F.However, doing nothing in return will only result in more intense bullying.
G.When you do not react to what they say or do no matter how hurtful it may be for you, they start to lose interest in you.

Most people fail to achieve their goals because somewhere along the line, they lose focus. ___16___ And eventually, they give up on their goals. Does this sound familiar to you? Don’t worry. Here are 3 simple techniques you can use to prevent yourself from losing focus on your goals.
___17___ All too often, many people make the mistake and believe that the more goals they have, the better. This is wrong. Once, researchers conducted an experiment about the choices of jams and the number of sales. They discovered that the more choices of jams they provided for shoppers, the fewer sales they got. The more options you have, the less likely you can focus better. Therefore, focus on just ONE.
The second technique you can use is this - commit to taking small steps. Success isn’t going to happen overnight. Success is the accumulation of many small steps. ___18___ It will only make you suffer. Instead, commit to doing a minimum number such as 30 push-ups every day, and then increase gradually. ___19___ it lowers the resistance, and you are more likely to take action.
The third method is to focus on progress, not results. This is one of the most important distinctions between someone successful and someone who is not. Successful people understand that progress is key, not results. ___20___ On the contrary, unsuccessful people focus only on getting the result. Whenever they don’t get the result they want, they feel bad, frustrated, and lose their motivation, which eventually makes them give up on their goals.
If you apply these methods, you too, can maintain your focus and reach your goals, slowly, but surely.
A. Dream big and set big goals to inspire you.
B. They get distracted and then they stop taking action.
C. Make sure you focus fully on just ONE goal at a time.
D. They just want to get the work done and push forward.
E. When you make an effort to develop your ability to focus,
F. When you focus on getting started and taking small steps,
G. You don’t have to commit to doing 100 push-ups every day.

Role-playing is one of the most significant ways children play.(对几乎所有的孩子来说,玩耍是学习过程中的一个关键组成部分。角色扮演是孩子们最重要的游戏方式之一。)”提到了角色扮演是孩子们学习过程中的最重要的游戏方式之一,F项“This involves a child in an activity where he or she pre ten as to be another person.(这涉及到一个孩子在一个活动中,他或她假装是另一个人)”解释了角色扮演,承接上文,引出下文“It can benefit children in many ways.( 它可以在许多方面使儿童受益。)”,F项中的this指代上文的“Role-playing”,下文的it也是指代“Role-playing”。故选F。
17.根据前文“When children role-play, they must create plans to act out a story and figure out what steps need to be taken to accomplish it.(当孩子们扮演角色时,他们必须制定计划来表演一个故事,并弄清楚需要采取什么步骤来完成它)”以及后文“As a result, they he come able to give instructions and organize others.(因此,他们开始有能力发号施令和组织他人)”可知,空处应是一个过渡句,讲述前句产生的好处,并导致后文的结果,所以D项“Through these activities, children can enhance their oral language abilities.(通过这些活动,孩子们可以提高他们的口语能力)”符合文意,起到过渡作用。故选D项。
18.根据下文“Roles are assigned to children when they engage in group activities. There are leaders and followers. When children disagree with each other, they must learn to negotiate and compromise, as well as to apologize when they disagree or have strong arguments.(当孩子们参加集体活动时,他们会被分配角色。有领导者,也有追随者。当孩子们彼此意见不一致时,他们必须学会协商和妥协,以及在他们意见不一致或有强烈争论时道歉)”可知,本段讲述孩子们可以通过角色扮演学会协商,妥协和道歉,提高社交能力,A项“Children’s social skills can also be developed.(孩子们的社交技能也可以得到发展)”符合语境。故选A。
19.根据上文“Besides helping children, learn some kinds of skills, role-playing fosters children’s imaginations and can therefore assume a number of forms. For example, boys may pretend to shave like their fathers, while girls may pretend to be mothers to, do some daily tasks like, caring for young babies, sometimes, children imitate real-life situations.( 除了帮助孩子学习一些技能外,角色扮演还可以培养孩子的想象力,因此可以采取多种形式。例如,男孩可能会假装像他们的父亲一样刮胡子,而女孩可能会假装像母亲一样做一些日常工作,比如照顾年幼的婴儿,有时,孩子们会模仿现实生活中的情况)”可知,角色扮演还可以培养孩子们的想象力,空格上文列举了一些角色扮演培养想象力的活动,男孩扮演父亲,女孩扮演母亲,C项“More often, they may act out stories they read in books.(更常见的情况是,孩子们可能会表演他们在书中读到的故事)”符合语境,与前文是顺承关系,故选C。
20.前文“Lastly, role-playing can help children deal with emotional pain caused by specific actions, such as the fear of going to school for the first time.(最后,角色扮演可以帮助孩子们处理由特定行为引起的情感痛苦,比如对第一次上学的恐惧)”讲述了角色扮演可以帮助孩子们处理情感痛苦,并举例,G项中的“help children lower their fear in reality”与本段话题一致,因此推断G项“Rele-paying situations lie these beforehand can help children lower their fear in reality.(像这样的角色扮演情境可以帮助孩子们降低他们在现实中的恐惧)”符合语境,“their fear in reality”呼应上文的“the fear of going to school for the first time”以及下文的“fears”。故选G。

When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart? Here are some strategics to help you manage a personal setback (挫折) and get back on track toward achieving your goal.
● Realize it’s normal. Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It’s normal and expected for setbacks to occur. ___36___ Knowing this, it’s important to anticipate that the main task will be how to effectively manage the setback when it arises.
● Don’t deny it. Sometimes it’s hard to recognize a setback. The problem can be staring you right in the face, but you may deny there’s any cause for alarm. ___37___ This inability to acknowledge the problem doesn’t mean you’re stupid. It’s just that denial can cloud your awareness of the issue. It’s important to be receptive to the honest feedback.
___38___Stop and consider carefully what went wrong. The most common causes of a setback are personal worries, overconfidence, and poor coping skills. Take a look at any factor that may have contributed to the setback: where you were, who you were with, what you were thinking and feeling.
● Learn from it. Learn from your analysis of the setback, and adjust your plan to try to prevent similar things from happening the next time. Each time you fine-tune your plan and put it into action again, you actually improve your odds of eventual success. ___39___
Remind yourself that your setback is a slip instead of a fall. ___40___ After adjusting, you can still make progress toward success again.
A. Don’t take it seriously.
B. Analyze what happened.
C. You haven’t lost all of the knowledge, skills, and support.
D. In other words, it’s not whether a challenge will happen, but it’s when.
E. This is because you learn from each misstep to make your plan more effective.
F. Friends or family will voice their concerns, but you still may not be able to accept it.
G. You might even write about past experiences in a journal to guide your future behavior.
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. B 39. E 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一些有助于处理个人挫折并回到实现目标的轨道上的策略。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It’s normal and expected for setbacks to occur.(只有不到20%的人第一次就成功实现了自己的目标。出现挫折是正常的,也是意料之中的。)”可知,此处是指挫折大概率是会发生的,只是早晚的区别,所以选项D“换句话说,挑战是否会发生并不重要,重要的是何时发生。”切合文意。故选D。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Sometimes it’s hard to recognize a setback. The problem can be staring you right in the face, but you may deny there’s any cause for alarm.(有时候很难察觉到挫折。问题可能就在你眼前,但你可能会否认有任何惊慌的理由。)”可知,此处是指即使朋友或家人提醒你也可能无法承认问题的存在,所以选项F“朋友或家人会表达他们的担忧,但你可能仍然无法接受。”切合文意。故选F。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Stop and consider carefully what went wrong.(停下来仔细想想哪里出了问题。)”可知,此处是指分析发生的事情,所以选项B“分析发生了什么。”切合文意。故选B。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Learn from it. Learn from your analysis of the setback, and adjust your plan to try to prevent similar things from happening the next time. Each time you fine-tune your plan and put it into action again, you actually improve your odds of eventual success.(从中吸取教训。从你对挫折的分析中学习,调整你的计划,尽量防止类似的事情再次发生。每次你调整你的计划并再次付诸行动,你实际上提高了最终成功的几率。)”可知,此处是指从挫折中吸取的教训会让你的计划更高效,所以选项E“这是因为你从每一个错误中学习,使你的计划更有效。”切合文意。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据前文“Remind yourself that your setback is a slip instead of a fall.(提醒自己,你的挫折是一次滑倒,而不是跌倒。)”和后文“After adjusting, you can still make progress toward success again.(调整之后,你仍然可以再次向成功迈进。)”可知,此处是讲即使面对挫折你仍然具有的优势,所以选项C“你并没有失去所有的知识、技能和支持。”切合文意。故选C。

It has become easy for students to find and copy published material. But copying another person’s writing without giving them credit can get students and other scholars into big trouble. ____36____
American copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, music, images and artworks. ____37____ The owner can sell a copyright or permit others to use it because it is property and property ownership is protected by law in the U. S.
The idea is that copyright helps society. If people can gain from their own creations, which are called their intellectual property (知识产权), then more people will want to create original works. The law, however, permits the unlicensed use of copyrighted works under what is called fair use. Fair use can include criticism, comment, news reporting, education and research. ____38____ In education, students can include small parts of copyrighted work in their writing and research. But they must provide credit to the original creators through a citation which gives details about the source.
Just as it is easy to copy it is also easy for professors to know if a student has plagiarized. First, there are computer programs and artificial intelligence, tools that compare students’ papers to large databases of published writing. ____39____ Second, if English is not a student’s first language, a professor might recognize a change in wording and writing style. This could bring more attention to the student’s paper.
____40____ Professors could simply warn a student not to do it again, lower their grade, or they might fail the student in that class. In more extreme cases, a student may be temporarily banned or expelled from school.
A. This behavior is called plagiarism.
B. However, there are some limitations.
C. Plagiarism is punished in different ways.
D. Students must follow university policies on academic behavior.
E. They can identify whether students have copied published writing.
F. For example, it can automatically create citation s and combine them into a list.
G. The protection extends to computer software and the design of buildings and structures.
【答案】36. A 37. G 38. B 39. E 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章详细解释了什么是抄袭,美国版权法的保护范围,版权法如何帮助社会,以及在教育领域中如何使用受版权保护的作品。
【36题详解】
根据前文“It has become easy for students to find and copy published material. But copying another person’s writing without giving them credit can get students and other scholars into big trouble.(对于学生来说,查找和复制出版材料变得很容易。但是抄袭别人的作品而不给他们署名会让学生和其他学者陷入大麻烦)”可知,A项“This behavior is called plagiarism.(这种行为被称为抄袭)”是对前文内容下定义,并介绍本文主题,符合文意。故选A项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“American copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, music, images and artworks.(美国版权法保护原创作品,包括书籍、电影、音乐、图像和艺术品)”以及后文“The owner can sell a copyright or permit others to use it because it is property and property ownership is protected by law in the U. S.(版权所有者可以出售版权或允许他人使用,因为版权是财产,而财产所有权在美国受法律保护)”可知,本段本段讲述那些属于版权法保护的对象,所以G项“The protection extends to computer software and the design of buildings and structures.(保护范围扩大到计算机软件和建筑物和结构的设计)”符合本段主题。故选G项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“The law, however, permits the unlicensed use of copyrighted works under what is called fair use. Fair use can include criticism, comment, news reporting, education and research.(然而,法律允许在所谓的合理使用下未经许可使用受版权保护的作品。合理使用包括批评、评论、新闻报道、教育和研究)”以及后文“In education, students can include small parts of copyrighted work in their writing and research. But they must provide credit to the original creators through a citation which gives details about the source.(在教育方面,学生可以在他们的写作和研究中包括一小部分受版权保护的作品。但是,他们必须通过提供来源详细信息的引文,向原创作者提供荣誉)”可知,前文讲述法律允许在所谓的合理使用下未经许可使用受版权保护的作品,后文讲述在教育中使用需要提供来源详细信息的引文,所以此处讲述,可以未经许可使用,但是有限制,所以B项“However, there are some limitations.(然而,也有一些限制)”符合文意。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Just as it is easy to copy, it is also easy for professors to know if a student has plagiarized. First, there are computer programs and artificial intelligence, tools that compare students’ papers to large databases of published writing.(就像抄袭很容易一样,教授也很容易知道学生是否抄袭。首先,有计算机程序和人工智能,这些工具可以将学生的论文与已发表文章的大型数据库进行比较)”可知,E项“They can identify whether students have copied published writing.(他们可以识别学生是否抄袭了已发表的文章)”是对前文计算机程序功能的解释,符合文意。故选E项。
【40题详解】
分析设空,位于段首,是本段的中心句,根据后文“Professors could simply warn a student not to do it again, lower their grade, or they might fail the student in that class. In more extreme cases, a student may be temporarily banned or expelled from school.(教授可以简单地警告学生不要再这样做,降低他们的分数,或者他们可能会让这个学生在那门课上不及格。在更极端的情况下,学生可能会被暂时禁止或开除)”可知,本段讲述了抄袭会受到的惩罚,所以C项“Plagiarism is punished in different ways.(抄袭会受到不同的惩罚)”符合文意。故选C项。

Visitors to my home are often curious about the fact that my kids share a room. “How do you make it?” they ask, as if seeing some children in the same sleeping space is impossible. 16 I will share my practical tips below.
Set the sleepy environment. This applies to any child’s bedroom, but it’s particularly important to set bedtime when you've got multiple little ones sharing a space. 17 Get a white noise machine.
18 Regularity is key when putting young kids to bed in the same space. If they are close in ago, do it at the same time. We put all our children to bed by 7 p.m.. And we also wake them up at 7 a.m..
Some noise is OK. 19 They will need reminders not to care about it, to stay in bed, to settle down, and go to sleep. This is normal. Kids do wake up sometimes when babies cry, although I'm always amazed at how much they can sleep through once they are used to it.
Buy the right furniture. Invest in good space-saving furniture, like beds with drawers. 20 Try to keep the room dedicated for sleeping. This will make the room feel less cramped, which — at least for me — makes having multiple kids in the same place feel more manageable.
A.Stick to the schedule.
B.How do l make it work?
C.Keep toys to a minimum.
D.Again, regularity is key to success.
E.Kids in a shared room will make noise.
F.Use darkening curtains on the window and a closed door.
G.If your baby has trouble settling at bedtime, you can start the night in another room.
【答案】16.B 17.F 18.A 19.E 20.C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者讲述了自己如何使孩子们在同一个房间获得睡眠的方法。
16.根据前文““How do you make it?” they ask, as if seeing some children in the same sleeping space is impossible. ”(“你是怎么做到的?”他们问,仿佛看到一些孩子在同一个睡眠空间是不可能的。)提到了客人对我的做法的询问。下文“I will share my practical tips below.”(我会在下面分享我的实用技巧。)接下来我要讲我的做法。所以空白处应该承接上文的问题讲述我是如何做到的。选项B.“How do I make it work?”(我是如何做到的呢?)与下文的逻辑语义上衔接,符合题意,故选B。
17.根据前文“Set the sleepy environment. ”(设置睡觉的环境。)后文“ Get a white noise machine.”(买台白噪音机。)讲到了具体的做法。所以空白处应该和后文表示并列关系,同为具体的营造睡眠环境的做法。选项F.“Use darkening curtains on the window and a closed door.”(在窗户和关着的门上装上暗色窗帘。)与前文逻辑和意义上一致,符合题意,故选F。
18.根据下文“Regularity is key when putting young kids to bed in the same space. If they are close in ago, do it at the same time.”(规律性是让孩子们在同一个空间睡觉的关键。如果他们接近了,就在同一时间做。)讲到了保持规律性是孩子睡眠的关键。所以空白处应该讲述和时间表有关的信息。选项A.“Stick to the schedule.”(按时间行事。)符合题意,故选A。
19.根据下文“They will need reminders not to care about it, to stay in bed, to settle down, and go to sleep.”(他们需要有人提醒他们不要在意这些,要他们躺在床上,安定下来,然后睡觉。)结合前文“Some noise is OK. ”(一点噪音是可以的。),由开头提到的问题可知,此处的“they”应该指代“kids”,所以空白处应该讲述孩子们和噪音的问题。选项E.“Kids in a shared room will make noise.”(孩子们在一个共用的房间里会发出噪音。)与前文的逻辑一致,符合题意,故选E。
20.根据前文“Invest in good space-saving furniture, like beds with drawers. ”(买一些节省空间的好家具,比如带抽屉的床。)讲到了合适的家具。下文“Try to keep the room dedicated for sleeping. This will make the room feel less cramped”(尽量保持房间专门用来睡觉,这样会让房间感觉不那么拥挤。)叙述了要保持房间不拥挤,这样才能专门用来睡觉。所以空白处应该讲和合适家具的意义有关的内容,选项C.“Keep toys to a minimum.”(使玩具最少化。)承接了前文带抽屉的家具的意义,抽屉可用来收纳玩具。符合题意,故选C。

Getting older means greater maturity and wisdom. 16 In a society that is aging fast, it has become crucial to find ways to prevent related mental and emotional disorders. Music emerges as a promising tool for promoting well-being of the elderly.
Music has a great power to cause strong emotions and intense pleasure. 17 singing and dancing to music with others is not only fun but also improves mood. Musical activities are great ways to reduce stress because they take our minds off problems. They also help us feel less lonely and more connected with other people.
18 A song may become a soundtrack for a particular time, such as a delightful party with friends that you had along time ago. Listening to that song allows you to remember all the happy memories from that time.
Finally, music contributes to keeping our thinking skills sharp.

Every week for the past thirty years, I have hosted a Sunday dinner in my home. People, including total strangers, call or e-mail to book a spot. I hold the salon in my studio. The first fifty people who call may come-twice that many when the weather is nice and we can overflow into the garden.
___36___Last week it was a philosophy student from Lisbon, and next week a dear friend from London will cook.
People from all corners of the world come to break bread together,to meet to talk,and often to become friends. All ages, nationalities, races, and professions gather here, and since there is no organized seating, the opportunity for connecting couldn’t be better. I love the randomness (随意).
I have a good memory^ so each week I make a point to remember everyone’s name on the guest list and where they’re from so I can introduce them to one another. If I had my way, I would introduce everyone in the whole world to one another.
___37___Many travelers go to see things like the Tower of London, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and so on. I travel to see friends,even-or especially-those I’ve never met.
In the late 1980s, I edited a series of guidebooks to different countries.___38___Instead, each book contained about a thousand biographies of people who would be willing to welcome travelers in their cities. Hundreds of friendships evolved from these encounters, including including marriages and babies.
The same can be said for my salon. At a recent dinner a six-year-old girl from Bosnia spent the entire evening glued to an eight-year-old boy from Estonia. Their parents were surprised, and pleased, by this immediate friendship.
___39___Most of them speak English, at least as a second language. Recently a dinner featured a typical mix: a beautiful painter from Norway, a truck driver from Arizona, a newspaper editor from Sydney and students from all over.
It is unnecessary to understand others; one must, at the very least, simply tolerate others.
___40___No one can ever really understand anyone else, but you can love them or at least accept them.
I am a world citizen. All human history is mine. My roots cover the earth. We should know each other. Okay, now come and dine.
A. I believe in introducing people to people.
B. People are the most important thing in my life.
C. There were no sights to see, no shops or museums to visit.
D. Tolerance can lead to respect and, finally, to love.
E. After all, our lives are all connected.
F. Every Sunday a different friend prepares a feast.
G. There is always a collection of people throughout the world.
【答案】36. F 37. B 38. C 39. G 40. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文叙述了在过去的三十年里,作者每周都在家里举办一次周日晚餐来招待认识的或者不认识的朋友,来自不同国家,不同种族的人们聚集在一起,在一起吃饭,在一起交谈,彼此成为了朋友。作者告诉我们,人与人之间要彼此包容,才能带来别人的尊敬甚至是爱戴。
【36题详解】
由第二段“Last week it was a philosophy student from Lisbon, and next week a dear friend from London will cook.”可知,上周是一个来自里斯本哲学系的学生做饭,下周将有一位来自伦敦的好朋友来做饭。所以处在段首的小题1要总说“每个周日,都有不同的朋友准备盛宴”,然后接着分说。故F选项“每个周日,都有不同的朋友准备盛宴”符合句意。故F选项正确。
【37题详解】
由第五段“Many travelers go to see things like the Tower of London, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and so on. I travel to see friends,even-or especially-those I’ve never met.”许多旅行者出去看名胜景点,而我旅游是为了结识各种各样的人---甚至陌生人。所以第五段主要在说明人是我生命中最重要的部分。故处在段首的小题2是本段的标题。故B选项“人是我生命中最重要的部分”符合句意。故B选项正确。
【38题详解】
由第六段“In the late 1980s, I edited a series of guidebooks to different countries. Instead, each book contained about a thousand biographies of people who would be willing to welcome travelers in their cities.”可知,上世纪80年代末,我编辑了一系列到不同国家的旅游指南。而每本书都包含了大约一千个欢迎游客来他们所在城市旅游的人的传记。所以小题3要起到能够承接这两句话的转折作用。故C选项“没有风景可看,没有商店可入,也没有博物馆可以以去游玩”符合句意。故C选项正确。
【39题详解】
由第八段“Most of them speak English, at least as a second language.Recently a dinner featured a typical mix: a beautiful painter from Norway, a truck driver from Arizona, a newspaper editor from Sydney and students from all over.”可知,他们大多数人说英语,至少作为第二语言。最近的一顿晚餐以一种典型的搭配为特色:一位来自挪威的美丽画家,一位来自亚利桑那州的卡车司机,一位来自悉尼的报纸编辑和来自各地的学生。所以小题4要总说“遍布整个世界,总是能遇到各种各样的人。”然后再具体说有哪些人。故G选项“遍布整个世界,总是能遇到各种各样的人。”符合句意。故G选项正确。
【40题详解】
由第九段“one must, at the very least, simply tolerate others.”可知,一个人至少必须容忍别人。所以小题5要接着说容忍带来的益处。故D选项“退一步海阔天空,包容会带来别人的尊敬甚至是爱戴。”符合句意。故D选项正确。

How To Deal With A Bully
Bullying is when someone misuses his authority( 权威) or power inside a relationship. 36 This behavior can cause physical and emotional harm on others and often leaves the victim feeling helpless.
It is never easy to deal with all the unwanted bullying even when you have done nothing wrong. 37 Here are some helpful ways to deal with a bully when you get bullied.
Ask Them To Stop
38 Sometimes when we do not speak up for ourselves, the bullies continue with their behavior thinking of us as easy targets. Telling them to stop in a firm and confident voice can make them reconsider their actions. This will work only if they have not yet established a pattern of bullying you. It is important to keep in mind that you are trying to de-escalate(弱化) the situation.
39
Bullies usually hunt for people who are alone or have isolated themselves from their surroundings. If you are with your friends, or if you are in the company of someone, it is least likely that the bully will disturb you. We are not asking you to make a huge circle of friends, but sometimes all it takes is one loyal friend who will stay by you no matter what.
Ignore Them
Another effective measure to ignore a bully is by ignoring them. They think of it as a game, and when they get an emotional response from you, it satisfies their ego. 40 So if they get nothing, they will stop bothering you because they will know you are not an easy one to attack.
A.Be Accompanied
B.Make More Friends
C.Asking the bully to stop is sometimes an effective measure to deal with them.
D.It can be outside of a relationship too as this behavior knows no bounds.
E.Such bullies will go around spreading rumors and false news.
F.However, doing nothing in return will only result in more intense bullying.
G.When you do not react to what they say or do no matter how hurtful it may be for you, they start to lose interest in you.
【答案】36.D 37.F 38.C 39.A 40.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要给遭受霸凌的人提出了一些建议。
36.根据空前内容“Bullying is when someone misuses his authority( 权威) or power inside a relationship.(霸凌是指某人在一段关系中滥用权威或权力。)”可知,本段主要介绍了何为霸凌。选项D“It can be outside of a relationship too as this behavior knows no bounds.(它也可以在关系之外,因为这种行为没有界限。)”延续上文内容,上文指的是霸凌有可能发生在一段关系内,而选项D则补充说明该行为也有可能发生在关系之外,符合本段内容。故选D。
37.根据空前内容“It is never easy to deal with all the unwanted bullying even when you have done nothing wrong(即使你没有做错任何事,也不容易处理所有不必要的欺凌。)”可知,处理欺凌并非易事。而空后内容“Here are some helpful ways to deal with a bully when you get bullied.(当你被欺负时,这里有一些有用的方法来对付欺负你的人。)”可推断,空处指的仍然是应付欺凌不容易。选项F“However, doing nothing in return will only result in more intense bullying.(然而,不做任何回应只会遭来更强烈的欺凌。)”与上文内容一致,同时引出下文内容。故选F。
38.根据本段小标题“Ask Them To Stop”可知,本段主要建议遭受欺凌的人要勇于让欺凌者停止。根据空后内容“Sometimes when we do not speak up for ourselves, the bullies continue with their behavior thinking of us as easy targets. Telling them to stop in a firm and confident voice can make them reconsider their actions.(有时候,当我们不为自己说话时,恶霸继续他们的行为,认为我们是容易攻击的目标。用坚定而自信的声音告诉他们停下来,可以让他们重新考虑自己的行为。)”可推断,空处指的是遭受欺凌时,要让对方停下来。选项C“Asking the bully to stop is sometimes an effective measure to deal with them(要求霸凌者停下来有时是对付他们的有效措施。)”与下文内容一致,都是建议遭受欺凌的人要求霸凌者停止这种行为。故选C。
39.空处为小标题,为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Bullies usually hunt for people who are alone or have isolated themselves from their surroundings. If you are with your friends, or if you are in the company of someone, it is least likely that the bully will disturb you. We are not asking you to make a huge circle of friends, but sometimes all it takes is one loyal friend who will stay by you no matter what.(霸凌者通常会寻找那些孤独或与周围环境隔绝的人。如果你和你的朋友在一起,或者你和别人在一起,恶霸最不可能打扰你。我们并不是要求你拥有一个庞大的朋友圈,但有时候你所需要的只是一个无论如何都会陪伴在你身边的忠实朋友。)”可知,本段主要讲述的是在平时的生活中,要结交会陪伴在身边的朋友。选项A“Be Accompanied(有人陪伴)”与下文内容一致。故选A。
40.根据空前内容“Another effective measure to ignore a bully is by ignoring them. They think of it as a game, and when they get an emotional response from you, it satisfies their ego.(另一种无视欺凌者的有效措施是无视他们。他们认为这是一场游戏,当他们从你那里得到情感回应时,这就满足了他们的自我。)”可知,作者认为如果霸凌者从你那儿得到情感回应,就会满足他们的自我,会继续欺凌你。而空后内容“So if they get nothing, they will stop bothering you because they will know you are not an easy one to attack.(所以如果他们一无所获,他们就会停止打扰你,因为他们知道你不是一个容易攻击的人。)”可推断,空处建议遭受欺凌者不要理会霸凌者。选项G“When you do not react to what they say or do no matter how hurtful it may be for you, they start to lose interest in you.(不管他们的言行对你有多伤人,当你对他们的言行没有反应时,他们就会开始对你失去兴趣。)”符合上下文内容,指的都是面对霸凌者,遭受欺凌的人可以采取不理会他们的态度,从而使他们不感兴趣,不再欺凌。故选G。

【16题详解】
上文“I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but 1 have made specific choice that allow me to make the most of every day and still feel happy and relaxed.( 我和你一样,每天都有24小时,但我做了具体的选择,让我充分利用每一天,仍然感到快乐和放松)”说明作者做出选择,充分利用每一天,但仍旧感到快乐和轻松,根据下文段落小标题可知,下文就如何充分利用每一天给出了建议,因此空格处应是承上启下,F项中的“help you make the most of your time”与上文“to make the most of every day”一致,“tips”引出下文的建议,因此F项“也许这些建议会帮助你充分利用你的时间”符合语境,承上启下。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据段落标题“Pick the most important.”可知,本段建议挑选最重要的,下文“Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive.( 把时间花在那些对你来说有趣和富有成效的事情上)”说明要挑选一些有趣的和富有成效的事情去做,D项中的“what is meaningful in your life”与标题中的“the most important”一致,下文是对“Make choices”具体解释。因此推断D项“选择你生活中有意义的东西”符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
上文“Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc.( 许多人疯狂地试图弄清楚如何在朋友,家庭,工作,娱乐等方面度过时间)”说明许多人想要弄清楚在生活中如何分配好时间,下文“Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner.( 找到一种结合的方式来享受它们)”说明可以把事情组合在一起享受,因此推断空格处与上文是转折关系,说明不要试图均衡时间,C项“不要试图在它们之间平衡时间”符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
空格处为段落小标题。根据下文“You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important.

(你可能会认为学习需要花费了你更多时间,但实际上总有一些新的方法可以为你节省出做日常事务的时间,为你腾出时间去做最重要的事情。寻找在这里或者那里赢回一个小时的新方法)”可推断,本段讲述学习虽然花费很多时间,但总是能有一些方法为你节省时间做其他事情,因此要做有效的学习者。因此推断B项“做有效的学习者”为段落标题,故选B。
【20题详解】
下文“Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way.( 每一次的完成都是一个小的胜利,累积起来就是一个大的胜利)”说明事情要一件一件去做,G项中的“making lists”与之呼应,因此推断G项“这就是为什么列清单在任何生产手册中都很重要的原因”符合语境,this指代上文“The world won't come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence.( 在大多数情况下,世界不会因为你没做完几件事而走向末日。庆祝进步,不断改进走向一个快乐而富有成效的存在)”解释了列出清单一件一件完成任务的原因。故选G。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章详细阐述了猫锻炼的重要性,包括保持健康、维持体重、促进心理健康等方面,同时给出了如何帮助猫进行锻炼的建议。
【36题详解】
根据前文“And unlike dogs, cats don’t require daily walks in order to get their exercise fix.(与狗不同,猫不需要每天散步来锻炼身体)”以及后文“It’s necessary to make sure your cat has plenty of chances to move her body.(有必要确保你的猫有足够的机会移动她的身体)”可知,空前讲述猫不像狗,需要每天散步,后文又说到确保你的猫有足够的机会移动她的身体,前后为转折,所以空处应表转折,C项“That doesn’t mean cat exercise isn’t important, though.(不过,这并不意味着猫咪运动不重要)”符合文意,承接上文,引出下文。故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Exercise is very important when it comes to keeping your cat healthy. Exercise, along with diet, is important for maintaining your cat’s weight.(运动对于保持猫咪的健康非常重要。运动和饮食对于保持猫咪的体重很重要)”以及后文“Plus, that extra weight can put added pressure on the legs and feet, leading to mobility problems down the road.(此外,额外的重量会给腿和脚带来额外的压力,导致在路上行动不便)”可知前文讲述运动对描的必要性,后文讲述肥胖对猫的坏处,根据plus可知,空处也是讲肥胖的坏处,所以F项“Fat cats may be cute, but being overweight can lead to health problems.(肥猫可能很可爱,但超重会导致健康问题)”符合本段主题。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Exercise is also good for mental health (精神健康).(锻炼对心理健康也有好处)”可知,B项“Exercise helps to kill boredom and lower stress.(锻炼有助于消除无聊和减轻压力)”是对前文的进一步说明,符合文意。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“The exact amount (数量) of recommended exercise differs from cat to cat.(每只猫所建议的确切运动量是不同的)”以及后文“This doesn’t necessarily mean running or walking for 30 minutes straight, though.(不过,这并不一定意味着要连续跑步或步行30分钟)”可知,此处在讲述,每天猫的运动量,大概是30分钟,所以E项“For most adult cats, though, 30 minutes per day is recommended.(不过,对于大多数成年猫来说,建议每天锻炼30分钟)”符合文意,其中30 minutes为同词复现。故选E项。
【40题详解】
空处位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“Try playing together for at least 15 minutes or so per day with toys. With enough independent games, toys, and tools for your cat to use on her own terms, she will also get in more movement, like walking, climbing, and scratching (抓).(试着每天一起玩玩具至少15分钟左右。有足够的独立游戏、玩具和工具让你的猫按照自己的方式使用,她也会有更多的运动,比如走路、爬、抓)”可知,本段讲述和你的猫玩,让你的猫获得运动,所以G项“Playing with your cat every day is one of the best ways to help them exercise.(每天和你的猫一起玩是帮助它们锻炼的最好方法之一)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选G项。

Most people fail to achieve their goals because somewhere along the line, they lose focus. ___16___ And eventually, they give up on their goals. Does this sound familiar to you? Don’t worry. Here are 3 simple techniques you can use to prevent yourself from losing focus on your goals.
___17___ All too often, many people make the mistake and believe that the more goals they have, the better. This is wrong. Once, researchers conducted an experiment about the choices of jams and the number of sales. They discovered that the more choices of jams they provided for shoppers, the fewer sales they got. The more options you have, the less likely you can focus better. Therefore, focus on just ONE.
The second technique you can use is this - commit to taking small steps. Success isn’t going to happen overnight. Success is the accumulation of many small steps. ___18___ It will only make you suffer. Instead, commit to doing a minimum number such as 30 push-ups every day, and then increase gradually. ___19___ it lowers the resistance, and you are more likely to take action.
The third method is to focus on progress, not results. This is one of the most important distinctions between someone successful and someone who is not. Successful people understand that progress is key, not results. ___20___ On the contrary, unsuccessful people focus only on getting the result. Whenever they don’t get the result they want, they feel bad, frustrated, and lose their motivation, which eventually makes them give up on their goals.
If you apply these methods, you too, can maintain your focus and reach your goals, slowly, but surely.
A. Dream big and set big goals to inspire you.
B. They get distracted and then they stop taking action.
C. Make sure you focus fully on just ONE goal at a time.
D. They just want to get the work done and push forward.
E. When you make an effort to develop your ability to focus,
F. When you focus on getting started and taking small steps,
G. You don’t have to commit to doing 100 push-ups every day.
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三种防止在追求目标过程中失去焦点的简单技巧:专注于单一目标、承诺采取小步骤行动以及关注进步而非结果。
【16题详解】
上文“Most people fail to achieve their goals because somewhere along the line, they lose focus. (大多数人没有实现他们的目标,因为在某个过程中,他们失去了焦点)”及下文“And eventually, they give up on their goals.(最终,他们放弃了他们的目标)”说明人们在追求目标过程中会遇到的问题,即失去焦点后的行为后果,空处承上启下,B选项中的“They get distracted(他们会分心)”与上文的“lose focus”相对应,“then they stop taking action(然后他们停止采取行动)”进一步阐述了失去焦点后的结果,引出下文,因此B选项“他们会分心,然后停止采取行动。”符合语境。故选B。
【17题详解】
下文“Once, researchers conducted an experiment about the choices of jams and the number of sales. They discovered that the more choices of jams they provided for shoppers, the fewer sales they got. The more options you have, the less likely you can focus better. Therefore, focus on just ONE.(曾经,研究人员进行了一项关于果酱选择与销售数量的实验。他们发现,为购物者提供的果酱选择越多,销量反而越低。你拥有的选择越多,就越难以更好地集中注意力。因此,你应该只专注于一个目标)”说明过多选择会分散注意力,应该集中于一个目标。C选项中的“focus fully on just ONE goal”与下文的“focus on just ONE”相对应,因此C选项“确保你一次只专注于一个目标。”直接呼应了研究结果,给出了具体建议,符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“Success is the accumulation of many small steps.(成功是许多小步骤积累的结果)”及下文“It will only make you suffer. Instead, commit to doing a minimum number such as 30 push-ups every day, and then increase gradually.(这样只会让你感到痛苦。相反,承诺每天至少做一定数量的活动,比如每天30个俯卧撑,然后逐渐增加)”说明通过设定小步骤来逐步实现成功,不应该期望一蹴而就,并举例说明可以先从每天做30个俯卧撑开始,逐渐增加,空处承接上文的方法,并陈述在实例中错误的做法,G选项“你不必承诺每天做100个俯卧撑。”作为对前面观点的补充,说明不需要一开始就设立过高的目标,与上下文内容紧密相关,符合语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
下文“it lowers the resistance, and you are more likely to take action.(它降低了阻力,你更有可能采取行动)”说明了某种行为带来的正面效果,即降低阻力并促进行动。F选项“当你专注于开始并采取小步骤时,”正好引出这种正面效果的原因,即通过专注于开始和小步骤,能够使人更容易行动,与后文逻辑连贯。故选F。
【20题详解】
上文“Successful people understand that progress is key, not results.(成功的人明白关键是进步,而不是结果)”及下文“On the contrary, unsuccessful people focus only on getting the result. Whenever they don’t get the result they want, they feel bad, frustrated, and lose their motivation, which eventually makes them give up on their goals.(相反,不成功的人只专注于获取结果。每当他们没有得到想要的结果时,他们会感觉糟糕、沮丧,并失去动力,这最终使他们放弃自己的目标)”说明了成功人士与不成功人士对待进步和结果的态度,空处承上启下,与下文形成对比,D选项“他们只是想完成工作并推进。”描述了成功的人只关注完成任务和向前推进的心态,符合上下文对比论述的结构。故选D。
