第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
“For years, I found myself walking less and less. As I got older, aches and pains in my back and legs caused me to stay in my chair, watching TV and watching life go by. My doctor told me to be more active, and I tried walkers... and I hated them. Dragging myself along, bending over and looking at the ground two feet in front of me—those didn’t seem like a fun way to get around. Then, one day, a friend introduced me to the Perfect Walker. Nothing is going to stop me now!”
The Perfect Walker enables you to stand upright when you walk. Your weight is supported by your upper arms and shoulders. Traditional walkers force you to put the pressure of your body weight on your hands and wrists. You push them in front of you, looking at the ground instead of where you are going. The Perfect Walker moves with you, with your feet free to walk in a normal way. Its easy height-adjustment system allows it to be the perfect height for anyone from 4’9” to 6’2” and supports up to 300 pounds. It features comfortable arm pads, hand brakes(刹车), a fold-down seat and storage area with a backrest. It’s built with aircraft-grade aluminum (航空级铝) to be strong yet lightweight, and its all-new streamlined (流线型的) design and oversized wheels make it perfect for walking in the yard.
Why spend another day bending over and dragging yourself around—or worse yet, lying in front of the TV all day? Pick up the phone and take back your life.
1. Who is talking about the Perfect Walker in Paragraph 1?
A. A doctor. B. A producer. C. A user. D. A salesman.
2. What can be learned about the Perfect Walker?

On a sunny morning, I walked with a light heart through the park, enjoying the soft wind, with the simple desire to find a quiet spot for a good book. Little did I know that an unexpected encounter (邂逅) with a naughty creature would turn this peaceful outing into an unforgettable experience.
Settling down on a comfortable bench under an oak tree, I was absorbed in a novel, lost in a world of fictional characters. Suddenly, a strange sound made me stop my reading. Curiously, I glanced in the direction of the noise, only to discover a squirrel hurrying towards my bag. Immediately, I reached out to protect my bag from the “thief”. But the squirrel ran away, holding a chocolate bar stolen from my bag. Determined to get my snack back, I gave chase (追赶) to the creature through the park.
The squirrel showed impressive flexibility, effortlessly jumping onto trees and jumping from branch to branch. Children and bystanders couldn’t help but laugh at the scene of a grown adult chasing a squirrel. The chase continued, and as I ran after the squirrel, I became both tired and awkward. The peacefulness of the park transformed into a lively playground, with laughter ringing around us. The squirrel, seemingly aware of its playful effect, increased its speed and finally disappeared into thin air.
As I made my way back to the bench, my heart still raced from the chase. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of connection with the squirrel. It had reminded me to welcome the unexpected, to break free from routine, and most importantly, to find joy in life’s simplest pleasures. From that day forward, whenever I visit the park, I always keep a chocolate bar handy, just in case I come across my friend.
4. What did the author plan to do in the park?
A. Enjoy the soft wind. B. Find a quiet place to read.
C. Feed a lovely creature. D. Observe nature and wildlife.
5. What did the squirrel do to the author?
A. It tore up his book. B. It threw a snack at him.
C. It took away his bag. D. It stole his chocolate bar.
6. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To show the fun scene the squirrel created.
B. To stress the difficulty of chasing the squirrel.
C. To express the author’s regret for causing trouble.
D. To call on children and bystanders to give a hand.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Best Way to Relax: Walking B. The Squirrel’s Favorite: Chocolate
C. An Unexpected Encounter in the Park D. An Unforgettable Reading Experience
C
Amsterdam has long had a problem with people leaving bikes here and there. But now, people will be able to park their bikes underwater thanks to a new underwater bike parking area. The city is hoping to ease bike parking by adding thousands of bike parking spots under Amsterdam’s Central Station.
The Open Haven Front storage is set to open on January 26 with free bike parking for up to 24 hours, and inexpensive long-term choices available as well. It also comes with easy access to the Central Station for those who need to commute (通勤) by bus or train, plus easy on-foot access to work in the busy part of the city.
“It’s great that people can jump on their bikes, get to the station and continue their journey seamlessly.” Jeroen Wienen, a spokesperson for ProRail, said of the project in an interview. “The Netherlands is a real cycling country. A lot of people come to the station by bike, and we don’t want all those bikes lying around.”
This new underwater station took several years and more than 60 million Euros to build. The shelters will be the largest in the city, with the Open Haven Front storage able to take 7,000 bicycles. To build the station, a lake had to be emptied to make room for the underwater storage facility (设施), but when you live in a country where there are more bikes than people, finding a place to store them all is pretty important. In fact, another facility for an extra 4,000 bikes — cheaper at only 25 million Euros to build — also recently opened in Amsterdam. In recent years, the city spent 85 million Euros on bike parking alone!
And perhaps more important than simply adding bike storage is the idea of closing the gap between cycling and train travel. Making the two run well together allows more people to cycle to the train station, rather than drive to work.
8. What worries the Amsterdam government according to Paragraph 1?
A. Road safety. B. Heavy traffic. C. Bike parking. D. Car pollution.
9. What can be learned about the Open Haven Front storage?
A. It is really affordable. B. It is above a river.
C. It is the largest worldwide. D. It rents out bikes cheaply.
10. What does the underlined word “seamlessly” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Slowly. B. Smoothly. C. Aimlessly. D. Awkwardly.
11 Why are the numbers listed in Paragraph 4?
A. To compare the two underwater facilities.
B. To stress the challenge of building the station.
C. To state the popularity of bikes in Amsterdam.
D. To show the government’s support for the project.
D
“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation (生成), where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示词). But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn’t have any creative satisfaction.
Al image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators (插图画家) were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is all about translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are purposely meant to copy the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists. There’s already a negative view towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their AI-generated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
12. How does the author find his AI-generated image?
A. Unsatisfying. B. Amazing. C. Original. D. Creative.
13. What do children’s illustrators value most about art?
A. The application of technology. B. The quality of final works.
C. The different forms of artworks. D. The process of creating works.
14. What is the main advantage of human artists compared with AI generators?
A. The ability to generate new ideas. B. The speed of finishing a work.
C. The adaptability of various styles. D. The access to outer resources.
15. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. AI will add value to the work of artists.
B. Mobile phones have too many functions.
C. AI-generated works can’t match human creations.
D. Professionals will depend on AI to produce works.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The 20-Minute Rule to Achieve Any Task
Do you often struggle to begin tasks on schedule and find excuses to put off the start time? Do you choose to do something else instead of focusing on tasks that need immediate attention? ____16____ The basic idea is that if you have a task you don’t want to do, tell yourself you only need to do it for 20 minutes.
The 20-minute rule is very simple. Set a timer for 20 minutes, and start working on whatever you want to put off. When the timer goes off, reset it and take a 20-minute break to focus on a different task or do something else you’re more interested in. ____17____ After a few cycles (循环) of this, you’ll find you’ve built up strength and can start working on the task you previously want to put off.
The 20-minute rule is designed to help you start developing new emotions in connection with a task. The thing is, the 20-minute rule is not actually meant to get the job done at all. ____18____
Often, once you set out, it becomes easier to continue, and you may find yourself willing to work beyond the previous 20 minutes. If you used the 20-minute rule to start studying for your test, after a few rotations(轮换)of the timer, you would discover the task isn’t as painful as you thought. You may even start to enjoy it! ____19____ Try the 15-minute rule, the 10-minute rule, or the 5-minute rule. They are also useful.
The hidden reasons for putting off tasks are mainly fear of pain. ____20____ Just start small. Simply set a timer and get started.
A. Can 20-minute rule really work?
B. It’s meant to help you get started.
C. But what if the 20-minute rule fails for you?
D. Whatever you fear, you don’t have to do it all at once.
E. Consider the “20-minute rule” to inspire yourself to start.
F. Face your fears bravely and finish the entire task in one go.
G. Reset the timer when it goes off and return to your original task.

One day, Daniel heard about a national science ____26____ for students. The winner would receive a scholarship from a well-known university. Knowing this was a chance to ____27____ his life, Daniel decided to enter the competition.

52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the first week of Lily’s middle school. The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed. Lily, instead, walked alone, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids.
Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. Mr. Johnson told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Lily expected. She just wanted to be like other kids — running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Thinking of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and sad.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began her writing and she found herself enjoying it. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each student’s work aloud. Lily thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class was about to end, fifteen students’ papers were still left unread, including Lily’s. Then, Mr. Johnson decided to ask these students to read their own paper themselves in front of the class next class.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100个左右:
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, when the Language Arts class began again, Lily felt nervous.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After Lily finished her reading, all her classmates cheered for her.

【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For years, I found myself walking less and less. As I got older, aches and pains in my back and legs caused me to stay in my chair, watching TV and watching life go by. My doctor told me to be more active, and I tried walkers... and I hated them. Dragging myself along, bending over and looking at the ground two feet in front of me—those didn’t seem like a fun way to get around. Then, one day, a friend introduced me to the Perfect Walker. Nothing is going to stop me now!( 多年来,我发现自己走路越来越少。随着年龄的增长,背部和腿部的疼痛让我只能坐在椅子上,看着电视,看着生活流逝。我的医生告诉我要多活动,我试过其他助行器……但我讨厌它们。拖着自己,弯着腰,看着面前两英尺的地面——这似乎不是一种有趣的出行方式。然后,有一天,一个朋友给我介绍了这款完美助行器。现在没有什么能阻止我了)”可知,作者详细描述了自己之前因身体疼痛而行动不便,尝试其他助行器的糟糕体验,以及使用“Perfect Walker”后的积极改变,这种亲身经历和感受表明是一位使用者在谈论这款助行器。可推理出在第一段中谈论“Perfect Walker”的是一位使用者,故选C。

【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Why spend another day bending over and dragging yourself around—or worse yet, lying in front of the TV all day? Pick up the phone and take back your life(为什么还要再花一天时间弯腰拖着自己四处走动 —— 或者更糟糕的是,整天躺在电视机前?拿起电话,找回你的生活)”以及图画中“Call now!!! 1-888-235-1481(现在拨打1-888-235-1481)”,可知文章的目的是推销这款助行器,鼓励人们购买。所以拨打1-888-235-1481是可以下这款产品的订单,故选D。

On a sunny morning, I walked with a light heart through the park, enjoying the soft wind, with the simple desire to find a quiet spot for a good book. Little did I know that an unexpected encounter (邂逅) with a naughty creature would turn this peaceful outing into an unforgettable experience.
Settling down on a comfortable bench under an oak tree, I was absorbed in a novel, lost in a world of fictional characters. Suddenly, a strange sound made me stop my reading. Curiously, I glanced in the direction of the noise, only to discover a squirrel hurrying towards my bag. Immediately, I reached out to protect my bag from the “thief”. But the squirrel ran away, holding a chocolate bar stolen from my bag. Determined to get my snack back, I gave chase (追赶) to the creature through the park.
The squirrel showed impressive flexibility, effortlessly jumping onto trees and jumping from branch to branch. Children and bystanders couldn’t help but laugh at the scene of a grown adult chasing a squirrel. The chase continued, and as I ran after the squirrel, I became both tired and awkward. The peacefulness of the park transformed into a lively playground, with laughter ringing around us. The squirrel, seemingly aware of its playful effect, increased its speed and finally disappeared into thin air.
As I made my way back to the bench, my heart still raced from the chase. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of connection with the squirrel. It had reminded me to welcome the unexpected, to break free from routine, and most importantly, to find joy in life’s simplest pleasures. From that day forward, whenever I visit the park, I always keep a chocolate bar handy, just in case I come across my friend.

The peacefulness of the park transformed into a lively playground, with laughter ringing around us. The squirrel, seemingly aware of its playful effect, increased its speed and finally disappeared into thin air.(这只松鼠表现出令人印象深刻的灵活性,毫不费力地跳到树上,在树枝间跳来跳去。看到一个成年人追赶松鼠的场景,孩子们和旁观者都忍不住笑了起来。追逐继续着,当我追赶松鼠时,我又累又笨手笨脚。宁静的公园变成了热闹的游乐场,笑声在我们周围回荡。松鼠似乎意识到了它的顽皮效果,加快了速度,最后消失在稀薄的空气中)”可知,第三段的目的是展示松鼠创造的有趣场景。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I couldn’t help but feel a sense of connection with the squirrel. It had reminded me to welcome the unexpected, to break free from routine, and most importantly, to find joy in life’s simplest pleasures. From that day forward, whenever I visit the park, I always keep a chocolate bar handy, just in case I come across my friend.(我不由自主地觉得自己和松鼠有一种联系。它提醒我要迎接意想不到的事情,要打破常规,最重要的是,要在生活中最简单的快乐中找到快乐。从那天起,每当我去公园,我总是随身带着一块巧克力,以防我遇到我的朋友)”结合文章主要讲述了作者在公园里看书的时候,遇到了一只松鼠偷了作者的巧克力。于是作者去追赶松鼠,从中获得了意外的乐趣。可知,C选项“公园里的意外相遇”最符合文章标题。故选C。

Amsterdam has long had a problem with people leaving bikes here and there. But now, people will be able to park their bikes underwater thanks to a new underwater bike parking area. The city is hoping to ease bike parking by adding thousands of bike parking spots under Amsterdam’s Central Station.
The Open Haven Front storage is set to open on January 26 with free bike parking for up to 24 hours, and inexpensive long-term choices available as well. It also comes with easy access to the Central Station for those who need to commute (通勤) by bus or train, plus easy on-foot access to work in the busy part of the city.
“It’s great that people can jump on their bikes, get to the station and continue their journey seamlessly.” Jeroen Wienen, a spokesperson for ProRail, said of the project in an interview. “The Netherlands is a real cycling country. A lot of people come to the station by bike, and we don’t want all those bikes lying around.”
This new underwater station took several years and more than 60 million Euros to build. The shelters will be the largest in the city, with the Open Haven Front storage able to take 7,000 bicycles. To build the station, a lake had to be emptied to make room for the underwater storage facility (设施), but when you live in a country where there are more bikes than people, finding a place to store them all is pretty important. In fact, another facility for an extra 4,000 bikes — cheaper at only 25 million Euros to build — also recently opened in Amsterdam. In recent years, the city spent 85 million Euros on bike parking alone!
And perhaps more important than simply adding bike storage is the idea of closing the gap between cycling and train travel. Making the two run well together allows more people to cycle to the train station, rather than drive to work.
8. What worries the Amsterdam government according to Paragraph 1?
A. Road safety. B. Heavy traffic. C. Bike parking. D. Car pollution.
9. What can be learned about the Open Haven Front storage?
A. It is really affordable. B. It is above a river.
C. It is the largest worldwide. D. It rents out bikes cheaply.
10. What does the underlined word “seamlessly” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Slowly. B. Smoothly. C. Aimlessly. D. Awkwardly.
11. Why are the numbers listed in Paragraph 4?
A. To compare the two underwater facilities.
B. To stress the challenge of building the station.
C. To state the popularity of bikes in Amsterdam.
D. To show the government’s support for the project.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】

A lot of people come to the station by bike, and we don’t want all those bikes lying around. (荷兰是一个真正的自行车王国。很多人都是骑自行车来车站的,而我们不希望看到这些自行车到处乱停乱放)”可知,人们骑自行车到车站,然后能顺利地继续他们的旅程是很棒的,由此可知,划线单词seamlessly意思与“顺利地”意义相近。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This new underwater station took several years and more than 60 million Euros to build. The shelters will be the largest in the city, with the Open Haven Front storage able to take 7,000 bicycles. (这座新的水下车站耗时数年,造价超过 6000 万欧元。这些停车处将成为该市最大的停车处,其中“开放避风港前沿” 停车场可容纳7000 辆自行车)”以及“In fact, another facility for an extra 4,000 bikes — cheaper at only 25 million Euros to build — also recently opened in Amsterdam. In recent years, the city spent 85 million Euros on bike parking alone! (事实上,阿姆斯特丹最近还启用了另一处可额外停放4000 辆自行车的设施,其建造成本较低,仅为2500万欧元。近年来,该市仅在自行车停放设施上就投入了8500万欧元!)” 可知,第四段列举了建设水下停车场的时间和资金投入数据,强调了政府在项目上的巨大支持,体现了对解决自行车停放问题的重视,由此可知,第四段中的数据是为了表明政府对这个项目的巨大投入和贡献。故选D项。

“Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described.
Welcome to the world of AI image generation (生成), where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示词). But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn’t have any creative satisfaction.
Al image generation could impact everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators (插图画家) were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is all about translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process.
Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are purposely meant to copy the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy.
The increasing use of AI will also lead to devaluation of the work of artists. There’s already a negative view towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their AI-generated “work” is as acceptable as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.
12. How does the author find his AI-generated image?
A. Unsatisfying. B. Amazing. C. Original. D. Creative.
13. What do children’s illustrators value most about art?
A. The application of technology. B. The quality of final works.
C. The different forms of artworks. D. The process of creating works.
14. What is the main advantage of human artists compared with AI generators?
A. The ability to generate new ideas. B. The speed of finishing a work.
C. The adaptability of various styles. D. The access to outer resources.
15. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A. AI will add value to the work of artists.
B. Mobile phones have too many functions.
C. AI-generated works can’t match human creations.
D. Professionals will depend on AI to produce works.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了AI图像生成技术的特点及其对艺术创作的影响,探讨了其局限性及对艺术家作品价值的潜在威胁。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But closer examination shows strangeness. The face of the woman in my image has very strange features, and appears to be holding various books. And, while I did feel excited at seeing an image appear, I didn’t have any creative satisfaction.(但仔细观察会发现奇怪之处。我生成的图像中,女人的脸部特征非常奇怪,并且似乎拿着好几本书。虽然看到图像出现时我感到兴奋,但我没有任何创作上的满足感)”可知,作者描述了AI生成图像的奇怪之处,虽然他对图像的生成感到兴奋,但并未获得创作上的满足感。由此推知,他对AI生成图像并不满意。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Basically, art is all about translating what you feel inside into something that exists outside. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece.(他们说,AI生成的艺术与艺术的本质背道而驰。基本上,艺术就是将你内心的感受转化为外部存在的东西。无论形式如何,真正的艺术更多在于创作过程,而非最终作品)”可知,儿童插画家认为,艺术的本质在于将内心感受转化为外部表达,真正的艺术更注重创作过程而非最终作品。由此推知,儿童插画家最看重的是创作的过程。故选D项。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, a human artist is also adding emotion and details into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same — it can only copy.(然而,人类艺术家还会在创作中加入情感和细节。AI则无法做到这一点——它只能复制)”可知,人类艺术家在创作中会加入情感和细节,而AI只能复制已有内容,缺乏创造性和情感注入。由此可知,人类艺术家的优势在于能够产生新想法并赋予作品独特的情感。故选A项。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughters, but you are no match for professionals.(你可以用手机拍一张女儿的漂亮照片,但你无法与专业人士相提并论)”可知,作者通过对比强调,普通人用手机拍摄的照片无法与专业人士的作品相比。由此推知,作者可能同意AI生成的作品无法与人类创作相媲美。故选C项

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The 20-Minute Rule to Achieve Any Task
Do you often struggle to begin tasks on schedule and find excuses to put off the start time? Do you choose to do something else instead of focusing on tasks that need immediate attention? ____16____ The basic idea is that if you have a task you don’t want to do, tell yourself you only need to do it for 20 minutes.
The 20-minute rule is very simple. Set a timer for 20 minutes, and start working on whatever you want to put off. When the timer goes off, reset it and take a 20-minute break to focus on a different task or do something else you’re more interested in. ____17____ After a few cycles (循环) of this, you’ll find you’ve built up strength and can start working on the task you previously want to put off.
The 20-minute rule is designed to help you start developing new emotions in connection with a task. The thing is, the 20-minute rule is not actually meant to get the job done at all. ____18____
Often, once you set out, it becomes easier to continue, and you may find yourself willing to work beyond the previous 20 minutes. If you used the 20-minute rule to start studying for your test, after a few rotations(轮换)of the timer, you would discover the task isn’t as painful as you thought. You may even start to enjoy it! ____19____ Try the 15-minute rule, the 10-minute rule, or the 5-minute rule. They are also useful.
The hidden reasons for putting off tasks are mainly fear of pain. ____20____ Just start small. Simply set a timer and get started.
A. Can 20-minute rule really work?
B. It’s meant to help you get started.
C. But what if the 20-minute rule fails for you?
D. Whatever you fear, you don’t have to do it all at once.
E. Consider the “20-minute rule” to inspire yourself to start.
F. Face your fears bravely and finish the entire task in one go.
G. Reset the timer when it goes off and return to your original task.
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是被称为“20分钟规则”的时间管理技巧,该技巧旨在帮助人们克服拖延症,通过短时间集中工作来启动任务,进而可能发现任务并不如预期中艰难。
【16题详解】
根据上文的“Do you often struggle to begin tasks on schedule and find excuses to put off the start time? Do you choose to do something else instead of focusing on tasks that need immediate attention? (你是否经常难以按时开始任务,并找借口推迟开始时间?你是否会转而选择做其他事情,而不是专注于那些需要立即处理的任务?)”可知,本文使用两个问题引出要介绍的话题,结合下文的“The basic idea is that if you have a task you don’t want to do, tell yourself you only need to do it for 20 minutes. (基本的想法是,如果你有一个不想做的任务,告诉自己你只需要做20分钟。)”可知,下文是对此空内容的进一步解释,所以,此空讲述的内容应是引出下文阐述的内容,E选项“Consider the “20-minute rule” to inspire yourself to start. (考虑使用“20分钟规则”来激励自己开始任务。)”中的“20-minute rule”与空后的“The basic idea”内容一致。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据“The 20-minute rule is very simple.(“20分钟规则”很简单。)”可知,下文讲述的是“20分钟规则”的操作方法,结合空前的“When the timer goes off, reset it and take a 20-minute break to focus on a different task or do something else you’re more interested in.(当定时器响起时,重置它并休息20分钟,转而专注于另一个任务或者去做你更感兴趣的事情。)”以及下文的“After a few cycles (循环) of this, you’ll find you’ve built up strength and can start working on the task you previously want to put off. (经过几个这样的循环后,你会发现自己的力量增强了,能够继续处理之前害怕的任务。)”可知,此空应是循环步骤中的最后一个环节,G选项“Reset the timer when it goes off and return to your original task. (当定时器响起时,重置它并返回到你的原始任务。)”讲述的内容为“20分钟规则”的操作过程中的最后一个环节,且下文的内容与此空内容衔接,符合语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据空格位于段尾可知,此处是对上文内容的进一步阐述,结合上文的“The 20-minute rule is designed to help you start developing new emotions in connection with a task. The thing is, the 20-minute rule is not actually meant to get the job done at all. (“20分钟规则”旨在帮助你开始培养与任务相关的新情绪。实际上,这个规则的目的并不是真的要完成工作。)”可知,这项规则不是帮助完成工作,由此可推断,此空进一步讲述这项规则的真正目的是什么,B选项“It’s meant to help you get started. (它的目的是帮助你开始。)”可知,“20分钟规则”则的主要目的是帮助你开始工作,而非完成整个任务,符合语境。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据上文的“If you used the 20-minute rule to start studying for your test, after a few rotations(轮换)of the timer, you would discover the task isn’t as painful as you thought. You may even start to enjoy it! (如果你使用20分钟规则开始为考试复习,经过几次定时器的轮换后,你会发现这个任务并不像你想象的那么痛苦。你甚至可能开始享受它!)”可知,“20分钟规”起作用后,你会发现这个任务并不像你想象的那么痛苦,甚至会享受它,结合下文的“Try the 15-minute rule, the 10-minute rule, or the 5-minute rule. They are also useful. (尝试15分钟规则、10分钟规则或5分钟规则。)”可知,此处作者建议尝试其它的时间规则,由此可推断,此空应与空前内容为转折关系,从而引出下文,C选项“But what if the 20-minute rule fails for you? (但是倘若“20分钟规则”对你不起作用呢?)”与空前的内容为转折关系,且引出下文的其它时间规则,符合语境。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据上文的“The hidden reasons for putting off tasks are mainly fear of pain. (拖延背后的原因主要是恐惧和对痛苦的预期。)”以及下文的“Just start small. Simply set a timer and get started. (从小处开始。只需设定一个计时器,然后就开始行动。)”可知,克服拖延的原因主要是恐惧和对痛苦的预期,并建议设定一个定时器然后开始工作,D选项“Whatever you fear, you don’t have to do it all at once. (无论你害怕什么,你都不必一次性完成所有。)”中的fear与上文的fear为词汇重现,且进一步对上文内容进行解释,从而引出下文的建议,符合语境。故选D项。

第二节(满分25分)
52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the first week of Lily’s middle school. The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class.
Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed. Lily, instead, walked alone, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids.
Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. Mr. Johnson told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.”
Fun was far beyond what Lily expected. She just wanted to be like other kids — running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Thinking of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and sad.
“Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began her writing and she found herself enjoying it. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story.
“OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each student’s work aloud. Lily thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class was about to end, fifteen students’ papers were still left unread, including Lily’s. Then, Mr. Johnson decided to ask these students to read their own paper themselves in front of the class next class.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100个左右:
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, when the Language Arts class began again, Lily felt nervous.

After Lily finished her reading, all her classmates cheered for her.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next day, when the Language Arts class began again, Lily felt nervous. She kept thinking about the moment when she would stand in front of the class and read her story. Mr. Johnson walked into the classroom, and said, “Today, those whose papers I didn’t read yesterday will have a chance to share their stories.” Lily’s heart beat faster. When it was her turn, she slowly stood up and walked to the front of the classroom. She could feel all eyes on her, which made her even more nervous.
After Lily finished her reading, all her classmates cheered for her. She was surprised and a little bit embarrassed. Mr. Johnson smiled and said, “Lily, your story is wonderful. You have a great imagination.” Lily felt a sense of pride and happiness. She realized that she didn’t need to be afraid of speaking in front of others. She also found that her classmates were very friendly and supportive. She knew that she could overcome her shyness and enjoy her middle school life.
【解析】
