Below, she recommends other novels shaped by place. The Meadow James Galvin (1992). Galvin narrows his novel’s focus to a river in south-eastern Wyoming the site of three generations’ struggle and achievements. “I often find myself reading each sentence twice, just to enjoy the unexpected twists of Galvin’s prose (散文). ” What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours Helen Oyeyemi (2016). Everything about this story collection delights and puzzles the soul, in a way of experiencing the terrifying fairy tale for the first time. Each story feels like working around you in a kind of harmony you can’t even begin to comprehend until the final line. Orange World Karen Russell (2019). “Every new book of Russell’s instantly takes its previous book’s place as my favorite.” Place, in each of these time-jumping, world-warping stories — which unfold a map of place both real and imagined — provides physical, social, and emotional pressures on both character and reader. The Bluest Eye Toni Morrison (1970). “Morrison’s novel remains my favorite, possibly owing to the particular feelings produced by its place and personhood, and its suggestion that how you experience the world is governed by age, race, and whether or not one grows up loved.” 36. What do the four novels have in common? A. They have similar plots. B. They are shaped by place. C. They have the same background. D. They are written by Téa Obreht. 37. Which of the statements is true about What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours? A. It fills the reader’s heart with terror. B. It’s a story collection without harmony in each story. C It’s a prose authored by Helen Oyeyemi. D. The harmony in it can not be understood until the end. 38. How does Téa Obreht evaluate Karen Russell and her Orange World ? A. It takes on a dynamic and mysterious atmosphere. B. The reader feels their pressures taken off when they read it. C. Téa always likes Karen’s new book better than her previous one. D. It presents social conflicts in different times and worlds. 39. What do you know about The Bluest Eye from the last paragraph? A Its place and personhood impress Téa Obreht a lot. B. It advocates ecological balance in nature. C. It suggests a connection between love and success. D. Age and gender impact how you experience the world. B I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation. There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down. The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour. After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true. These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added. My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. 40. How did the author look back on his summer days while at college? A. They brought him nothing but torture. B. They were no holiday for him at all. C. They were a relief from his hard work at school. D. They offered him a chance to know more people. 41. Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “torture” in the first paragraph? A. Misery. B. Fortune. C. Anxiety. D. Availability. 42. What does the author say about college students? A. They expect too much from the real world. B. They have little interest in blue-collar life. C. They think too highly of themselves. D. They are confident about their future. 43. What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers? A. They do not get decent pay. B. They do not have job security. C. They have to work 12-hour shifts. D. They have to move from place to place. 44. Why does the author feel somewhat guilty? A. He realizes there is a great divide between his life and that of blue-collar workers. B. He looks down upon the mechanical work at the assembly line. C. He has not done much to help his co-workers at the factory. D. He has stayed at school just for the purpose of escaping from the real world. 45. In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him? A. He learned to be more practical. B. He acquired a sense of urgency. C. He came to respect blue-collar workers. D. He came to appreciate his college education. C That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. 46. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect? A. To what extent it can trouble people. B. What role it has played in evolution. C. What circumstances may trigger it. D. In what way it can be beneficial 47. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research? A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep. B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way. C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins D. She conducted studies on birds' and dolphins' sleeping patterns 48. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment? A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment. B. She recruited 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences. C. She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains. D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects. 49. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment? A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains. B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment. C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli. D. She compared the responses of different participants. 50. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment? A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others. B. They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat. C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps. D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones. D Teenagers are self-contradictory. That’s a mild and objective way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language. But the-self-contradiction is scientific and personal. In adolescence, helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful-and obedient children become rebellious teenage risk-takers. A new study published in the journal Child Development, by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues, suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence. For a long time, scientists and policy makers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved. The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk. The researchers studied “prosocial”(亲社会)and rebellious traits in more than 200 children and young adults, ranging from 11 to 28 years old. The participants filled out questionnaires about how often they did things that were selfless and positive, like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend, or rebellious and negative, like getting drunk or staying out late. Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older. But the new study shows that, interestingly, the same is true for prosocial behavior. Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like unselfishly help a friend. Most significantly, there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness. The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others. The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together. Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments? One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call “reward sensitivity.” Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks, benefits and costs. “Reward sensitivity” measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk. Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards—winning the game, impressing a new friend, getting that boy to notice you. Reward sensitivity, like prosocial behavior and risk-taking, seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age. Somehow, when you hit 30, the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn’t seem to outweigh the effort of getting up off the couch. 51. According to Paragraph 1, children growing into adolescence tend to . A. see the world in an unreasonable way B. develop opposite personality traits C. have fond memories of their past D. show affection for their parents 52. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that Crone’s study . A. provides a new insight into adolescence B. explores teenagers’ social responsibilities C. examines teenagers’ emotional problems D. highlights negative adolescent behavior 53. What does Crone’s study find about prosocial behavior? A. It results from the wish to cooperate. B. It tends to peak in adolescence. C. It is cultivated through education. D. It is subject to family influence. 54. It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that teenagers . A. overstress their influence on others B. become anxious about their future C. endeavor to live a joyful life D. care a lot about social recognition 55. What is the text mainly about? A. Why teenagers are risk-sensitive. B. How teenagers develop prosociality. C. Why teenagers are self-contradictory. D. How teenagers become independent. 第 Ⅱ卷 V. 单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 56.

VIL 阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。 When I think of the hardest moments of my life, ironically many have turned out to be blessings. The most severe one was being pretty much kicked out of my. PhD program at the University of Georgia in 2016. The program in Georgia turned out not to be the right fit for me despite my best efforts. The whole year was riddled with exhaustion, insecurity, fear, and exclusion. I was in therapy myself for most of the year to cope, and the only thing that made it tolerable was a lot of support from my family and friends. I was utterly devastated when I went back home; it felt like my career was over. Fast forward to today, however, and I can see that getting driven out of the Georgia program was one of the best things that ever happened to me. In 2017, when I transferred to a doctoral program in San Diego, I began to thrive and now my business is doing exceptionally well. I am deeply grateful I studied in San Diego and happy that I didn’t stay in Georgia. It was great that I was driven out! As the saying goes, “What seems like good or bad news now can turn out to be the opposite in the future.” Ironically, the research and writing training from the University of Georgia significantly helped me develop my academic, professional, and personal writing. I worked hard in Georgia and it paid off: The learning and growth I experienced were incomparable. As my personal example demonstrates, life is a total rollercoaster. Every now and then you are able to discover a new high, a ceiling-breaking moment, whereas in other moments you may feel like you’re falling deeper and deeper into hell. While these experiences can be incredibly tough, they present us with valuable opportunities to trust life and cultivate personal growth and learning. 76. What was the author’s most severe moment of his life?(No more than 8 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 77. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 2? (No more than 3 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 78. What message does the author want to convey with his personal experience in the 3rd paragraph? (No more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 79. Why did the author thank the University of Georgia? (No more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 80. What will you do if you are in a dark moment? Please explain.

Below, she recommends other novels shaped by place. The Meadow James Galvin (1992). Galvin narrows his novel’s focus to a river in south-eastern Wyoming, the site of three generations’ struggle and achievements. “I often find myself reading each sentence twice, just to enjoy the unexpected twists of Galvin’s prose (散文). ” What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours Helen Oyeyemi (2016). Everything about this story collection delights and puzzles the soul, in a way of experiencing the terrifying fairy tale for the first time. Each story feels like working around you in a kind of harmony you can’t even begin to comprehend until the final line. Orange World Karen Russell (2019). “Every new book of Russell’s instantly takes its previous book’s place as my favorite.” Place, in each of these time-jumping, world-warping stories — which unfold a map of place both real and imagined — provides physical, social, and emotional pressures on both character and reader. The Bluest Eye Toni Morrison (1970). “Morrison’s novel remains my favorite, possibly owing to the particular feelings produced by its place and personhood, and its suggestion that how you experience the world is governed by age, race, and whether or not one grows up loved.” 36. What do the four novels have in common? A. They have similar plots. B. They are shaped by place. C. They have the same background. D. They are written by Téa Obreht. 37. Which of the statements is true about What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours? A. It fills the reader’s heart with terror. B. It’s a story collection without harmony in each story. C. It’s a prose authored by Helen Oyeyemi. D. The harmony in it can not be understood until the end. 38. How does Téa Obreht evaluate Karen Russell and her Orange World ? A. It takes on a dynamic and mysterious atmosphere. B. The reader feels their pressures taken off when they read it. C. Téa always likes Karen’s new book better than her previous one. D. It presents social conflicts in different times and worlds. 39. What do you know about The Bluest Eye from the last paragraph? A. Its place and personhood impress Téa Obreht a lot. B. It advocates ecological balance in nature. C. It suggests a connection between love and success. D. Age and gender impact how you experience the world. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Téa Obreht最喜欢的几本小说的大概内容。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Below, she recommends other novels shaped by place. (下面，她推荐了其他按地域塑造的小说)”可知，四本书的共同点是都是根据地域塑造的。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。由文章What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours部分中“Everything about this story collection delights and puzzles the soul, in a way of experiencing the terrifying fairy tale for the first time. Each story feels like working around you in a kind of harmony you can’t even begin to comprehend until the final line. (这本故事集的一切都让人感到愉悦和困惑，以一种第一次体验恐怖童话的方式。每一个故事都像是在一种和谐中围绕着你，直到最后一行你才开始理解)”可知，这本书中的和谐要到最后才能被理解。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Orange World部分中“Every new book of Russell’s instantly takes its previous book’s place as my favorite. (罗素的每一本新书都会立刻取代前一本书，成为我的最爱)”可知，Téa总是比前一本更喜欢Karen的新书。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Morrison’s novel remains my favorite, possibly owing to the particular feelings produced by its place and personhood (莫里森的小说仍然是我的最爱，可能是因为它的地点和人物所产生的特殊感觉)”可推知，这本书中的地点和人物给Téa Obreht留下了深刻印象。故选A。 B I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation. There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down. The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour. After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true. These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added. My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. 40. How did the author look back on his summer days while at college? A. They brought him nothing but torture. B. They were no holiday for him at all. C. They were a relief from his hard work at school. D. They offered him a chance to know more people. 41. Which of the following is closest to the underlined word “torture” in the first paragraph? A. Misery. B. Fortune. C. Anxiety. D. Availability. 42. What does the author say about college students? A. They expect too much from the real world. B. They have little interest in blue-collar life. C. They think too highly of themselves. D. They are confident about their future. 43. What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers? A. They do not get decent pay. B. They do not have job security. C. They have to work 12-hour shifts. D. They have to move from place to place. 44. Why does the author feel somewhat guilty? A. He realizes there is a great divide between his life and that of blue-collar workers. B. He looks down upon the mechanical work at the assembly line. C. He has not done much to help his co-workers at the factory. D. He has stayed at school just for the purpose of escaping from the real world. 45. In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him? A. He learned to be more practical. B. He acquired a sense of urgency. C. He came to respect blue-collar workers. D. He came to appreciate his college education. 【答案】40. B 41. A 42. C 43. B 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲过了作者在大学署假期间的兼职工作，改变了他对教育价值的看法，他开始珍惜大学教育，并意识到了自己和蓝领工人的人生有着巨大的差距，自己还有很大的发展空间。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.( 我的朋友们似乎从来都不明白为什么我能回到学校这么放心，或者我的暑假根本不是假期)”可知，作者回顾他在大学的暑假，对他来说，它们根本不是假日。故选B。 【41题详解】 词义猜测题。划线单词前文“But making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. (但是，在课间休息期间，在学校和全职蓝领工作之间进行过渡从来没有变得更容易过)”可知，划线单词所在句子的意思是：对于像我这样认为中午前上课不文明的学生来说，每天早上6点前赶到工厂是一种折磨。由此可知，与第一段中带下划线的单词意思最接近的是A项Misery“痛苦的”。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. (像我这样年纪的人似乎总是高估他们的时间和知识的价值)”可知，作者认为大学生太高估自己。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight.(蓝领生活最大的压力是知道你的工作可能会在一夜之间消失)”可知，根据作者的观点，蓝领工人最沮丧的是他们没有工作保障。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。文章第五段讲到“These lessons I’m learning, however precious, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time.(我学到的这些东西，无论多么珍贵，总是带着一种负罪感。许多人在我短暂工作的地方度过了他们的一生，在那里度过了30年，我一次只呆了两个月)”可知，作者意识到了自己和蓝领工人的人生有着巨大的差距，自己还有很大的发展空间，而他们的生活注定永远会在那个地方。由此推知，作者会觉得有些愧疚是因为他意识到他的生活和蓝领工人的生活有很大的不同。故选A。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good (我在工厂的经历激励我在进入现实世界之前充分利用大学时光)”可知，作者的工作经历改变了他，让他开始重视他的大学教育。故选D。 C That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. 46. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect? A. To what extent it can trouble people. B. What role it has played in evolution. C.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了首夜效应的现象、起源及科学家的相关研究。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day.(令人困惑的是，当第二天的性能可能受到影响时，它将从中获得什么好处)”可知，研究者困惑于首夜效应有何益处。故选D。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing.(她还从之前对鸟类和海豚的研究中了解到，这些动物一次让一半的大脑进入睡眠状态，这样它们就可以休息，同时保持足够的警觉以躲避捕食者。这让她怀疑人们是否也在做同样的事情)”可知，Dr. Yuka Sasaki从之前关于鸟类和海豚的研究中得到了一些启发。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains.(为了进一步研究，她的团队研究了35名健康的人，他们在大学心理科学系的陌生环境中睡觉。每个参与者都在该部门睡了两个晚上，并通过观察他们大脑活动的技术对他们进行了仔细的监测)”可知，她监测了在新环境中睡觉的参与者的大脑活动。故选A项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night.(出于好奇，Sasaki博士的左脑半球是否真的保持清醒，以处理在周围环境中检测到的信息，他重新进行了实验，同时在夜间向睡眠的参与者播放定时的同一音调的哔哔声和不同音调的不规则哔哔声)”可知，Sasaki博士在重新进行实验时，给睡眠中的参与者同时呈现了两种不同的刺激——规律性的蜂鸣声和不规律性的蜂鸣声。故选C。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.(她推断出，如果左脑半球在陌生的环境中保持警觉以守卫，那么它会对不规则的蜂鸣声作出反应，把人们从睡梦中惊醒，而忽略那些规律性的蜂鸣声。这正是她所发现的现象)”可知，Sasaki博士发现参与者在听到不规律性的蜂鸣声时会被唤醒，这表明他们倾向于将不规律性的蜂鸣声视为威胁。故选B。 D Teenagers are self-contradictory. That’s a mild and objective way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language. But the-self-contradiction is scientific and personal. In adolescence, helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful-and obedient children become rebellious teenage risk-takers. A new study published in the journal Child Development, by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues, suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence. For a long time, scientists and policy makers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved. The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk. The researchers studied “prosocial”(亲社会)and rebellious traits in more than 200 children and young adults, ranging from 11 to 28 years old. The participants filled out questionnaires about how often they did things that were selfless and positive, like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend, or rebellious and negative, like getting drunk or staying out late. Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older. But the new study shows that, interestingly, the same is true for prosocial behavior. Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like unselfishly help a friend. Most significantly, there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness. The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others. The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together. Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments? One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call “reward sensitivity.” Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks, benefits and costs. “Reward sensitivity” measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk. Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards—winning the game, impressing a new friend, getting that boy to notice you. Reward sensitivity, like prosocial behavior and risk-taking, seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age. Somehow, when you hit 30, the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn’t seem to outweigh the effort of getting up off the couch. 51. According to Paragraph 1, children growing into adolescence tend to . A. see the world in an unreasonable way B. develop opposite personality traits C. have fond memories of their past D. show affection for their parents 52. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that Crone’s study . A. provides a new insight into adolescence B. explores teenagers’ social responsibilities C. examines teenagers’ emotional problems D. highlights negative adolescent behavior 53. What does Crone’s study find about prosocial behavior? A. It results from the wish to cooperate. B. It tends to peak in adolescence. C. It is cultivated through education. D. It is subject to family influence. 54. It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that teenagers . A. overstress their influence on others B. become anxious about their future C. endeavor to live a joyful life D. care a lot about social recognition 55. What is the text mainly about? A. Why teenagers are risk-sensitive. B. How teenagers develop prosociality. C. Why teenagers are self-contradictory. D. How teenagers become independent. 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. B 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过引用克罗恩的一项新的研究发现，论述了为什么青少年是自相矛盾的。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In adolescence, helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful-and obedient children become rebellious teenage risk-takers.（在青春期，无助和依赖成年人的孩子几乎在所有事情上都依赖成年人，成为能够照顾自己和互相帮助的独立的人。与此同时，曾经快乐听话的孩子变成了叛逆的青少年冒险者。）”可知，进入青春期后的少年，性格上会反转：曾经的无助、依赖的孩子会变得能够照顾自己、独立；曾经快乐听话的孩子变成了叛逆的青少年冒险者。故选B。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A new study published in the journal Child Development, by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues, suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence. For a long time, scientists and policy makers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved. The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk.（莱顿大学的伊芙琳·克罗恩及其同事在《儿童发展》杂志上发表的一项新研究表明，青少年的积极和消极一面是相辅相成的。这项研究是对青春期新一波思考的一部分。很长一段时间以来，科学家和政策制定者都认为青少年是一个需要解决的问题。这项新研究强调，青春期是一个充满机遇和风险的时期。）”可知，克罗恩的调查表明，青少年的积极和消极一面是相辅相成的。同时，这项新研究强调，青春期是一个充满机遇和风险的时期。可推知，该研究提供了对青春期的新见解。故选A。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older. But the new study shows that, interestingly, the same is true for prosocial behavior.（其他研究表明，叛逆行为在青少年时期会增加，然后随着年龄增长而逐渐消失。但有趣的是，这项新研究表明，亲社会行为也是如此。）”可知，其他研究表明：叛逆行为在青少年时期会增加，然后随着年龄的增长而逐渐消失，克罗恩的研究中，亲社会的行为也是如此，即亲社会行为像叛逆行为一样，会在青少年时达到顶峰，之后会逐渐消失。故选B。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Most significantly, there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness. The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others. The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together. Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments? One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call “reward sensitivity.” Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks, benefits and costs. “Reward sensitivity” measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk.（最重要的是，亲社会与叛逆之间存在正相关。更叛逆的青少年也更有可能帮助别人。青春期的好与坏似乎是同时发展的。这些明显矛盾的发展背后是否存在一些共同因素？一种观点认为，青少年的行为与研究人员所说的“奖励敏感性”有关。决策总是涉及到平衡回报与风险、利益与成本。”“奖励敏感性”衡量的是需要多少回报才能超过风险。）”最后一段中“Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards—winning the game, impressing a new friend, getting that boy to notice you. Reward sensitivity, like prosocial behavior and risk-taking, seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age. （青少年对社会奖励特别敏感——赢得游戏，给新朋友留下深刻印象，让那个男孩注意到你。奖励敏感性，如亲社会行为和冒险行为，似乎在青春期上升，然后随着年龄的增长再次下降。）”可知，青少年对于如赢得游戏，给新朋友留下深刻印象，让那个男孩注意到你等社会奖励特别敏感，说明青少年很在乎他们被别人的认可。故选D。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合文章第一段“Teenagers are self-contradictory. That’s a mild and objective way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language. But the-self-contradiction scientific and personal. In adolescence, helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful-and obedient children become rebellious teenage risk-takers.（青少年是自相矛盾的。这是一种温和而客观的方式来表达父母经常用相当强硬的语言表达的东西。但是科学和个人的自相矛盾。在青春期，无助和依赖成年人的孩子几乎在所有事情上都依赖成年人，成为能够照顾自己和互相帮助的独立的人。与此同时，曾经快乐听话的孩子变成了叛逆的青少年冒险者。）”可知，文章在第一段中提到了青少年是自相矛盾的，同时提到了青春期时期，青少年的性格会反转。之后在第二段中提到了克罗恩的一项研究，该研究提供了对青春期的新见解。第三段引入了对青少年亲社会行为的研究，第四段讲述了亲社会行为和其他的叛逆行为一样，会在青少年时达到顶峰，之后会逐渐消失。最后两段论述了人们对于青春期的好与坏这些明显矛盾的发展背后存在一些共同因素的探索。可推知，本文主要论述了为什么青少年是自相矛盾，故选C。 第 Ⅱ卷 V. 单词拼写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 56.

The most severe one was being pretty much kicked out of my. PhD program at the University of Georgia in 2016. The program in Georgia turned out not to be the right fit for me despite my best efforts. The whole year was riddled with exhaustion, insecurity, fear, and exclusion. I was in therapy myself for most of the year to cope, and the only thing that made it tolerable was a lot of support from my family and friends. I was utterly devastated when I went back home; it felt like my career was over. Fast forward to today, however, and I can see that getting driven out of the Georgia program was one of the best things that ever happened to me. In 2017, when I transferred to a doctoral program in San Diego, I began to thrive and now my business is doing exceptionally well. I am deeply grateful I studied in San Diego and happy that I didn’t stay in Georgia. It was great that I was driven out! As the saying goes, “What seems like good or bad news now can turn out to be the opposite in the future.” Ironically, the research and writing training from the University of Georgia significantly helped me develop my academic, professional, and personal writing. I worked hard in Georgia and it paid off: The learning and growth I experienced were incomparable. As my personal example demonstrates, life is a total rollercoaster. Every now and then you are able to discover a new high, a ceiling-breaking moment, whereas in other moments you may feel like you’re falling deeper and deeper into hell. While these experiences can be incredibly tough, they present us with valuable opportunities to trust life and cultivate personal growth and learning. 76. What was the author’s most severe moment of his life?(No more than 8 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 77. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase in paragraph 2? (No more than 3 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 78. What message does the author want to convey with his personal experience in the 3rd paragraph? (No more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 79. Why did the author thank the University of Georgia? (No more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 80. What will you do if you are in a dark moment? Please explain. (No more than 20 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】76. His almost being kicked out of PhD program 77. be full of 78. What seems like bad news now can turn out to be good in the future 79. The research and writing training helped him professionally and academically 80. I will seek support and stay positive, believing that the difficulties are temporary and trying to find a solution. 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者人生中经历的困难时刻，以及这些困难如何最终转化为祝福的经历。 【76题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“When I think of the hardest moments of my life, ironically many have turned out to be blessings. The most severe one was being pretty much kicked out of my. PhD program at the University of Georgia in 2016. (当我回想起生命中最艰难的时刻时，具有讽刺意味的是，许多事情最后都变成了我的祝福。最严重的一次是我几乎被踢出2016年在乔治亚大学的博士项目。)”可知，作者一生中最艰难的时刻是在2016年作者差点被踢出在乔治亚大学的博士项目。故答案为His almost being kicked out of PhD program。 【77题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词组下一句“I was in therapy myself for most of the year to cope, and the only thing that made it tolerable was a lot of support from my family and friends. (我大部分时间都在接受治疗来应对这种压力，而唯一让我能够忍受这一切的是来自家人和朋友的巨大支持。)”可知，由于课程不适合作者，作者整整一年都充满了疲倦、不安全、恐惧和排斥。由此可知，划线词组的意思和“充满”相似。故答案为be full of。 【78题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第三段内容“I was utterly devastated when I went back home; it felt like my career was over. Fast forward to today, however, and I can see that getting driven out of the Georgia program was one of the best things that ever happened to me. In 2017, when I transferred to a doctoral program in San Diego, I began to thrive and now my business is doing exceptionally well. I am deeply grateful I studied in San Diego and happy that I didn’t stay in Georgia. It was great that I was driven out! As the saying goes, “What seems like good or bad news now can turn out to be the opposite in the future.” (当我回到家时，我彻底崩溃了；感觉我的职业生涯结束了。然而，快进到今天，我发现被赶出乔治亚大学的项目是发生在我身上最好的事情之一。2017年，当我转到圣地亚哥攻读博士学位时，我开始茁壮成长，现在我的生意做得非常好。我非常感谢我在圣地亚哥学习，也很高兴我没有留在乔治亚州。我被赶出去真是太好了！俗话说，“现在看起来是好消息或坏消息，将来可能会变成相反的消息。”)”可知，作者在第三段想要表达的是被乔治亚大学的博士项目开除是他人生中最严重的事情，但也是他最好的事情之一，也就是当时以为是坏消息的事情后来变成了好消息。故答案为What seems like bad news now can turn out to be good in the future。 【79题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四题“Ironically, the research and writing training from the University of Georgia significantly helped me develop my academic, professional, and personal writing. I worked hard in Georgia and it paid off: The learning and growth I experienced were incomparable. (具有讽刺意味的是，乔治亚大学的研究和写作训练对我的学术、专业和个人写作都有很大的帮助。我在乔治亚努力学习，并得到了回报：我经历的学习和成长是无与伦比的。)”可知，作者感谢乔治亚大学是因为那里的研究和写作训练对他的学术、专业和个人写作能力发展有重要帮助。故答案为The research and writing training helped him professionally and academically. 【80题详解】 开放题。要求考生谈谈自己面临人生中黑暗时刻时会如何做，考生言之有理即可。故参考答案为I will seek support and stay positive, believing that the difficulties are temporary and trying to find a solution. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
