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
Which book you should read based on your next travel destination
Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan
Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip.
Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America.
A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America.
Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York.
Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons.
As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”.
Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam.

I was sitting in my high school classroom, nervously tapping my pencil against the desk as I awaited the start of the English exam.
As the clock struck, signaling the beginning of the exam, my heart began to race. I opened the exam booklet and scanned the questions, and I felt a wave of panic over me. The questions seemed foreign, and the topics unfamiliar. In a state of panic, I hurriedly wrote down my answers, hoping that somehow, by some stroke of luck, they would be correct. But as the minutes went by, I realized I couldn’t seem to make sense of the questions before me. As the final bell rang, I handed in my paper with a heavy heart.
In the days that followed, I couldn’t shake the feeling of failure that hung over me like a dark cloud. I replayed the exam over and over in my mind, analyzing every question, every answer, searching for clues as to where I had gone wrong.
But in the depression, a realization began to dawn on me I had failed, yes, but I had also learned valuable lessons along the way. Armed with this newfound wisdom, I ensured that I would do better next time. I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before.
When the time came to retake the exam, I was ready. I approached each question with confidence and clarity, drawing upon the lessons I had learned from my previous missteps.
When the results were announced, I held my breath as I scanned the list of names. And there it was — my name, shining brightly among the list of successful candidates. At that moment, all the hard work, all the late nights and early mornings, were worth it.
And as I look back on that sunny afternoon in the high school classroom, I am grateful for the lessons it taught me, and the person it helped me become.

A four-year-old boy with autism (孤独症) had the experience of a lifetime when he entered a real bike competition by chance and won! His mother shared a memorable video of his victory on social media. The little boy was clearly proud to earn his very first award, looking excited as he posed in front of his small bike while holding the award.
His smile lit up the faces of everyone present. The boy’s mother was deeply grateful to the adult players who went out of their way to make her child feel special during the competition. She knew that her son’s bike couldn’t be compared to the actual bikes on display that day, which were much larger and faster. However, the players in the event thought it was more important to make a little boy’s dream come true.
“To the two bikers who should have taken first place and second place, they taught my son so much more than they know,” the mother said. “Thank you for being so kind.” While the boy enjoyed his first prize in the bike competition, she ensured that he understood the importance of showing respect for the rules of a sport and for the other players. She encouraged him to shake hands with the other winners, thank and congratulate them.
Reflecting on the event, the mother wrote, “When adults go out of their way to show kindness to kids, especially some with higher needs, the influence lasts longer than most people know. Interactions like these can really change the course of a child’s life. My little son was so lucky to experience such kindness.”
It was so sweet that the other adult cyclists made the cycle-loving boy the star of the show. He will remember the amazing day, which was filled with joy and encouragement, in his whole life.
28. Why did the boy win the competition?
A. He had the fastest bike. B. He was the only participant.
C. His mother was there to encourage him. D. Other players let him win on purpose.
29 What did the mother teach her son after his winning?
A. The necessity of competition. B. The importance of first place.
C. The importance of good sportsmanship. D. The necessity of self-congratulation.
30. What can we learn about the competition’s effect on the boy from the text?
A. It is short-term. B. It is lasting. C. It is negative. D. It is unclear.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kindness Fulfilled a Boy’s Dream B. A Mother’s Expectations for Her Son
C. The Details of an Adult Bike Competition D. It Is Difficult to Raise a Child with Autism
D
Freedom generally refers to the ability to act, speak, think, or live without unreasonable limitation, yet its definition and ranges are often debated. The 20th-century philosopher Isaiah Berlin distinguished between “negative freedom” and “positive freedom”. Let’s take Steve for example, who is sitting with a glass of wine in front of him. No one is holding a gun to his head, telling him to drink. He is free to do as he pleases. But Steve is an alcoholic. He knows it’s bad for him, but he can’t help himself. He stretches out his trembling hand and lifts the glass to his lips. Two very different kinds of freedom are at play here.
We often think of freedom as the absence of external restriction: you are free so long as there is nothing preventing you from doing what you want. This is what Berlin calls “negative freedom”; it is negative in that it is defined by what is absent — any form of limit or outside disturbance. In this sense Steve, the drinker, is completely free. But Steve can’t help himself. He is forced to drink, even though he knows his interests would be better served by not doing so. He is not fully in control of himself and his fortune is not fully in his own hands. To the extent that he is driven to drink, he has no choice and is not free.
While negative freedom is freedom from external interference (干涉), positive freedom is usually described as freedom to achieve certain ends; as a form of empowerment that allows an individual to realize his or her potential, to achieve a particular vision of self-realization and to reach a state of self-mastery.
To return to Steve: the part of him that properly understands his best interests is assumed to be the higher, more reasonable self. If he is incapable himself of encouraging this part to succeed, perhaps he needs some outside help — from people who are wiser than he and better able to see how he should act.
32. Why does the author mention Steve’s story in paragraph 1?
A. To criticize alcoholics for lacking self-discipline.
B. To clarify Berlin’s understanding of personal interests.
C. To show coexistence of two different sorts of freedom.
D. To argue the necessity of external restrictions for freedom.
33. What does the underlined phrase “external restriction” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Interests of one’s own. B. Personal preference.
C. Limits from outside forces. D. A state of self-control.
34. What is “positive freedom” in Berlin’s philosophy?
A. Freedom without any limitations. B. Freedom to ignore personal interests.
C. Freedom to behave without thinking. D. Freedom to act in line with one’s reason.
35. How could Steve possibly achieve positive freedom according to the last paragraph?
A. By asking for outside guidance. B. By understanding his interests better.
C. By setting higher standards for himself. D. By getting more reason to control himself.

67. Atlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him, “These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned.”
Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippo Menes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta’s rues. “Why are these men so foolish?” he thought. “Why will they let themselves be killed because they can not run as fast as this princess?” However, when he saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind “I will marry Atlanta-or die!” he said.
The race started and although the man ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, “How can I run as fast as Atlanta?” He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help. She promised to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said, “Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run past her and win.”
Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King. He said, “I want to marry Atlanta.” The King was sad to see another man die, but Hippomenes said, “I will marry her-or die!” So the race began.
So the next day Hippomenes was waiting when Atlanta came out. She thought, “I don’t want this man to die.” So she said to her father, “Tell him to go away. The race will not be run today.” But Hippomenes said, “These are her rules: She will marry the man who runs faster than her. Come on-let’s run! ”

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】 W: Margaret Atwood’s book The Testaments and Bernardine Evaristo’s Girl, Woman, Other both won the Booker Prize on October 14, 2019. The two writers will share the $62,800 in prize money. Each will take half of it home. The award recognizes the best novel of the year written in English and published in Britain and Ireland. Margaret Atwood won the prize in 2000 for her book The Blind Assassin. The Testaments was published just one month before the award. It is the second book to the 79-year-old Canadian’s best-selling 1985 novel, The Handmaid’s Tale. Evaristo is the first black woman to win the prize. Her book Girl, Woman, Other tells the stories of 12 people living in Britain. They are mainly female and black. While the Booker Prize has been jointly awarded to two writers two times before, the rules changed in 1993 limiting the award to one person. The judges broke those rules, saying they could not agree on a winner between the two books. The judges chose from a list of six novels.
第二部分 阅读理解(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
Which book you should read based on your next travel destination
Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan.
Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip.
Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America.
A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America.
Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York.
Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons.
As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”.
Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot.
21. If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up?
A. The Fault in Our Stars. B. One Hundred Years of Solitude.
C. 1Q84. D. The Great Gatsby.
22. Which one of the followings is NOT true?
A. Generations of the Buentia family live in their South-American town.
B. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America.
C. “West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names.
D. The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
23. An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city.
According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city?
A. Tokyo. B. New York. C. Amsterdam. D. Sao Paulo.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本前往旅行目的地时可以阅读的文学作品。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip. (日本著名作家村上春树创造了另一个1984,名为1Q84,在那里一切都感觉不对劲,一切都略有不同。以日本东京为背景,这本反乌托邦、充满神秘的奇幻小说一定会让你在旅途中着迷)”可知,《1Q84》这本书涉及平行存在,充满神秘,因此适合对平行存在感兴趣、充满想象力的读者。故选C项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. (作为一部重要的文学作品,加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的经典作品讲述了布恩迪亚家族几代人在南美小镇上的生活)”和第三段中“Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. (虽然经典小说中的“West Egg”和“East Egg”更像长岛的大颈和华盛顿港半岛,但人们认为,弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德在创作这本书时受到了汉普顿斯的启发)”可知,布恩迪亚家族家族几代人都住在他们的南美小镇上,“West Egg”和“East Egg”都是地名,《了不起的盖茨比》是弗·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德写的,A、C、D与文意相符。根据第二段中“Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America. (加西亚·马尔克斯的魔幻现实主义与他丰富的描写相结合,使这本书成为参观南美洲一些令人惊叹的景点的完美读物)”可知,B项“《百年孤独》是一本主要描写南美洲风景的书”与文意不符。故选B项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. (约翰·格林的故事曾于2014年被改编成电影,讲述了一群命运多舛的青少年,其中有一段著名的阿姆斯特丹之旅)”可知,《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书中包含青少年前往阿姆斯特丹的故事,再结合题干中“有人可能会对这种疯狂的情况感到惊讶:一位母亲把她16岁的女儿和一个17岁的男孩单独送到一个外国城市”的摘要可知,该摘要出自《无比美妙的痛苦》这本书,这座外国城市是阿姆斯特丹。故选C项。
B
I was sitting in my high school classroom, nervously tapping my pencil against the desk as I awaited the start of the English exam.
As the clock struck, signaling the beginning of the exam, my heart began to race. I opened the exam booklet and scanned the questions, and I felt a wave of panic over me. The questions seemed foreign, and the topics unfamiliar. In a state of panic, I hurriedly wrote down my answers, hoping that somehow, by some stroke of luck, they would be correct. But as the minutes went by, I realized I couldn’t seem to make sense of the questions before me. As the final bell rang, I handed in my paper with a heavy heart.
In the days that followed, I couldn’t shake the feeling of failure that hung over me like a dark cloud. I replayed the exam over and over in my mind, analyzing every question, every answer, searching for clues as to where I had gone wrong.
But in the depression, a realization began to dawn on me I had failed, yes, but I had also learned valuable lessons along the way. Armed with this newfound wisdom, I ensured that I would do better next time. I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before.
When the time came to retake the exam, I was ready. I approached each question with confidence and clarity, drawing upon the lessons I had learned from my previous missteps.
When the results were announced, I held my breath as I scanned the list of names. And there it was — my name, shining brightly among the list of successful candidates. At that moment, all the hard work, all the late nights and early mornings, were worth it.
And as I look back on that sunny afternoon in the high school classroom, I am grateful for the lessons it taught me, and the person it helped me become.
24. Why did the author panic when he first took the exam?
A. He sat with a pounding heart.
B. He was in a hurry when answering the questions.
C. He was not familiar with the foreign language.
D. He found the questions too difficult.
25. What did the author do after he failed in the exam?
A. He attended valuable lessons in school.
B. He retook the exam over and over again.
C. He promised to arm himself with eagerness.
D. He determined to engage himself in learning.
26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “devouring”?
A. Being targeted at. B. Being absorbed in.
C. Being credited to. D. Being responsible for.
27. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with according to his valuable lessons?
A. All study and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
B. If not us, who? If not now, when?
C. The best is yet to come.
D. Effort and diligence bring success.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从一次考试失败的经历中变得坚忍不拔的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“As the clock struck, signaling the beginning of the exam, my heart began to race. I opened the exam booklet and scanned the questions, and I felt a wave of panic over me. The questions seemed foreign, and the topics unfamiliar.(当考试开始的钟声敲响时,我的心开始狂跳。我打开考试手册,浏览了一下问题,我感到一阵恐慌。这些问题似乎很陌生,话题也很陌生。)”和“But as the minutes went by, I realized I couldn’t seem to make sense of the questions before me. (但随着时间的推移,我意识到我似乎无法理解面前的问题。)”可知,作者感到恐慌是因为他发现考试的问题似乎很陌生,题目不熟悉,也就是觉得问题太难了。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Armed with this newfound wisdom, I ensured that I would do better next time. I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before.(有了这个新发现的智慧,我保证下次我会做得更好。我以全新的决心投入到学习中,如饥似渴地啃书本,以前所未有的热情复习过去的考试。)”可知,作者考试失败后,下定决心投入到学习中,如饥似渴地读书和练习以前的考试题目。故选D项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before.(我以全新的决心投入到学习中,devouring书本,以前所未有的热情复习过去的考试。)”可知,此处为作者全神贯注地阅读书籍。故可猜测划线单词devouring为“全神贯注地阅读”,与B项Being absorbed in“全神贯注”意思一致。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But in the depression, a realization began to dawn on me I had failed, yes, but I had also learned valuable lessons along the way. Armed with this newfound wisdom, I ensured that I would do better next time. I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before.(但在沮丧期间,我开始意识到我失败了,是的,但我也在这条路上学到了宝贵的教训。有了这个新发现的智慧,我保证下次我会做得更好。我以全新的决心投入到学习中,全神贯注地阅读书籍,以前所未有的热情复习过去的考试。)”以及倒数第二段中“At that moment, all the hard work, all the late nights and early mornings, were worth it. (在那一刻,所有的努力工作,所有的熬夜和早起,都是值得的。)”可推知,根据作者的宝贵经验,作者最有可能同意的是努力和勤奋会带来好运。故选D项。
C
A four-year-old boy with autism (孤独症) had the experience of a lifetime when he entered a real bike competition by chance and won! His mother shared a memorable video of his victory on social media. The little boy was clearly proud to earn his very first award, looking excited as he posed in front of his small bike while holding the award.
His smile lit up the faces of everyone present. The boy’s mother was deeply grateful to the adult players who went out of their way to make her child feel special during the competition. She knew that her son’s bike couldn’t be compared to the actual bikes on display that day, which were much larger and faster. However, the players in the event thought it was more important to make a little boy’s dream come true.
“To the two bikers who should have taken first place and second place, they taught my son so much more than they know,” the mother said. “Thank you for being so kind.” While the boy enjoyed his first prize in the bike competition, she ensured that he understood the importance of showing respect for the rules of a sport and for the other players. She encouraged him to shake hands with the other winners, thank and congratulate them.
Reflecting on the event, the mother wrote, “When adults go out of their way to show kindness to kids, especially some with higher needs, the influence lasts longer than most people know. Interactions like these can really change the course of a child’s life. My little son was so lucky to experience such kindness.”
It was so sweet that the other adult cyclists made the cycle-loving boy the star of the show. He will remember the amazing day, which was filled with joy and encouragement, in his whole life.
28. Why did the boy win the competition?
A. He had the fastest bike. B. He was the only participant.
C. His mother was there to encourage him. D. Other players let him win on purpose.
29. What did the mother teach her son after his winning?
A. The necessity of competition. B. The importance of first place.
C. The importance of good sportsmanship. D. The necessity of self-congratulation.
30. What can we learn about the competition’s effect on the boy from the text?
A. It is short-term. B. It is lasting. C. It is negative. D. It is unclear.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kindness Fulfilled a Boy’s Dream B. A Mother’s Expectations for Her Son
C. The Details of an Adult Bike Competition D. It Is Difficult to Raise a Child with Autism
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述成年车手善意让自闭症男孩赢得比赛的故事,母亲教导体育精神,温暖经历影响深远。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The boy’s mother was deeply grateful to the adult players who went out of their way to make her child feel special during the competition. She knew that her son’s bike couldn’t be compared to the actual bikes on display that day, which were much larger and faster.(男孩的母亲非常感谢那些在比赛中特意让她的孩子感到特别的成年运动员。她知道她儿子的自行车无法与那天展出的真正的自行车相比,后者要大得多,也快得多。)”可知,男孩的自行车不如其他选手,但他们故意让小男孩获胜。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While the boy enjoyed his first prize in the bike competition, she ensured that he understood the importance of showing respect for the rules of a sport and for the other players. She encouraged him to shake hands with the other winners, thank and congratulate them.(当男孩在自行车比赛中获得第一名时,她确保他理解尊重运动规则和其他运动员的重要性。她鼓励他与其他获奖者握手,感谢并祝贺他们。)”可知,母亲教导孩子尊重规则与他人,强调体育精神,即这位母亲在儿子获胜后教了他良好体育精神的重要性。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When adults go out of their way to show kindness to kids, especially some with higher needs, the influence lasts longer than most people know. Interactions like these can really change the course of a child’s life.(当成年人特意对孩子,尤其是那些有更高需求的孩子表现出善意时,这种影响的持续时间比大多数人所知道的要长。像这样的互动真的可以改变一个孩子的一生。)”可知,这场比赛对男孩的影响持久深远的。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A four-year-old boy with autism (孤独症) had the experience of a lifetime when he entered a real bike competition by chance and won!(一个患有自闭症的四岁男孩偶然参加了一场真正的自行车比赛并获胜,这是他一生难得的经历!)”可知,文章开篇提出主旨,即文章围绕成年骑手的善意让自闭症男孩实现比赛胜利的梦想展开。选项A“Kindness Fulfilled a Boy’s Dream(善良实现了一个男孩的梦想)”,突出“善意”与“梦想成真”的核心主题,适合作标题。故选A。
D
Freedom generally refers to the ability to act, speak, think, or live without unreasonable limitation, yet its definition and ranges are often debated. The 20th-century philosopher Isaiah Berlin distinguished between “negative freedom” and “positive freedom”. Let’s take Steve for example, who is sitting with a glass of wine in front of him. No one is holding a gun to his head, telling him to drink. He is free to do as he pleases. But Steve is an alcoholic. He knows it’s bad for him, but he can’t help himself. He stretches out his trembling hand and lifts the glass to his lips. Two very different kinds of freedom are at play here.
We often think of freedom as the absence of external restriction: you are free so long as there is nothing preventing you from doing what you want. This is what Berlin calls “negative freedom”; it is negative in that it is defined by what is absent — any form of limit or outside disturbance. In this sense Steve, the drinker, is completely free. But Steve can’t help himself. He is forced to drink, even though he knows his interests would be better served by not doing so. He is not fully in control of himself and his fortune is not fully in his own hands. To the extent that he is driven to drink, he has no choice and is not free.
While negative freedom is freedom from external interference (干涉), positive freedom is usually described as freedom to achieve certain ends; as a form of empowerment that allows an individual to realize his or her potential, to achieve a particular vision of self-realization and to reach a state of self-mastery.
To return to Steve: the part of him that properly understands his best interests is assumed to be the higher, more reasonable self. If he is incapable himself of encouraging this part to succeed, perhaps he needs some outside help — from people who are wiser than he and better able to see how he should act.
32. Why does the author mention Steve’s story in paragraph 1?
A. To criticize alcoholics for lacking self-discipline.
B. To clarify Berlin’s understanding of personal interests.
C. To show coexistence of two different sorts of freedom.
D. To argue the necessity of external restrictions for freedom.
33. What does the underlined phrase “external restriction” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Interests of one’s own. B. Personal preference.
C. Limits from outside forces. D. A state of self-control.
34. What is “positive freedom” in Berlin’s philosophy?
A. Freedom without any limitations. B. Freedom to ignore personal interests.
C. Freedom to behave without thinking. D. Freedom to act in line with one’s reason.
35. How could Steve possibly achieve positive freedom according to the last paragraph?
A. By asking for outside guidance. B. By understanding his interests better.
C. By setting higher standards for himself. D. By getting more reason to control himself.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了20世纪哲学家以赛亚・伯林区分的“消极自由”和“积极自由”,并通过史蒂夫的例子来阐述这两种自由的概念。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Two very different kinds of freedom are at play here. (两种截然不同的自由在这里起作用。)”以及后文对消极自由和积极自由的详细阐述可知,作者提到史蒂夫的故事是为了展示两种不同类型的自由的共存。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的“you are free so long as there is nothing preventing you from doing what you want. This is what Berlin calls “negative freedom”; it is negative in that it is defined by what is absent — any form of limit or outside disturbance. (只要没有什么能阻止你做你想做的事,你就是自由的。这就是伯林所说的“消极自由”;它是消极的,因为它是由不存在的东西定义的 —— 任何形式的限制或外部干扰。)”可知,“external restriction”指的是来自外部力量的限制。故选C项。

推理判断题。根据第三段“While negative freedom is freedom from external interference (干涉), positive freedom is usually described as freedom to achieve certain ends; as a form of empowerment that allows an individual to realize his or her potential, to achieve a particular vision of self-realization and to reach a state of self-mastery. (虽然消极自由是不受外部干涉的自由,但积极自由通常被描述为实现某些目标的自由;作为一种赋予个人权力的形式,使个人能够实现自己的潜力,实现自我实现的特定愿景,并达到自我掌控的状态。)”可知,在伯林的哲学中,“积极自由”是按照自己的理性行动的自由。故选D项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To return to Steve: the part of him that properly understands his best interests is assumed to be the higher, more reasonable self. If he is incapable himself of encouraging this part to succeed, perhaps he needs some outside help — from people who are wiser than he and better able to see how he should act. (回到史蒂夫的例子:他身上正确理解自己最大利益的那部分被认为是更高层次、更理性的自我。如果他自己无法促使这部分成功,也许他需要一些外部帮助 —— 来自比他更聪明、更能看清他应该如何行动的人。)”可知,史蒂夫可能通过寻求外部指导来实现积极自由。故选A项。

Music is used across cultures and ages as a powerful mood regulator. ___36___ The emotional power of music is one of the main reasons why people devote so much time, energy, and money to it. People use music to achieve various goals, such as feeling more energized, keeping focused on tasks, and reducing boredom.
Music offers a resource for emotion regulation. For instance, sad music enables listeners to stay away from painful situations. ___37___ Further, lyrics that have a connection with the listener’s personal experience can give voice to feelings or experiences that one might not be able to express oneself.

___38___ Music is a powerful emotional stimulus(刺激物) that changes our relationship with time. Time does indeed seem to fly when listening to pleasant music. Hearing pleasant music seems to keep attention away from time processing. Moreover, this attention-related shortening effect appears to be greater in the case of calm music with a slow tempo (节奏). For example, music is used in waiting rooms to reduce the subjective length of time spent waiting or in supermarkets to encourage people to stay for longer and buy more. ___39___
In sum, music can change our moods, emotions, and motivation. We can use music to express or challenge our moods. ___40___ For example, the protest song “Baraye” expresses Iranians’ (伊朗人的) painful complaints.

【40题详解】
根据下文“For example, the protest song “Baraye” expresses Iranians (伊朗人的) painful complaints.(例如,抗议歌曲《Baraye》表达了伊朗人痛苦的抱怨。)”可知,下文举例说明了抗议歌曲《Baraye》表达了伊朗人痛苦的抱怨,可见音乐可以表达一个国家人民的心情,即音乐也可以在国家层面上表达情绪。故A选项“音乐也可以在国家层面上表达情绪'”符合语境,故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
67. Atlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him, “These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned.”
Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippo Menes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta’s rues. “Why are these men so foolish?” he thought. “Why will they let themselves be killed because they can not run as fast as this princess?” However, when he saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind “I will marry Atlanta-or die!” he said.
The race started and although the man ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, “How can I run as fast as Atlanta?” He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help. She promised to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said, “Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run past her and win.”
Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King. He said, “I want to marry Atlanta.” The King was sad to see another man die, but Hippomenes said, “I will marry her-or die!” So the race began.
So the next day Hippomenes was waiting when Atlanta came out. She thought, “I don’t want this man to die.” So she said to her father, “Tell him to go away. The race will not be run today.” But Hippomenes said, “These are her rules: She will marry the man who runs faster than her. Come on-let’s run! ”
注意: 1.续写词数为150词左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When the race started, Hippomenes ran fast, but Atlanta ran even faster.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When she finally caught up with Hippomenes the second time, he threw the third and last apple.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:When the race started, Hippomenes ran fast, but Atlanta ran even faster. He had no choice but to take out the first golden apple and threw it in front of her. Driven by curiosity, Atlanta came to an abrupt stop and picked it up. So Hippomenes took the chance to run past her. Realizing that might be a trick, she took up all her strength to catch up with him in time. Just then, Hippomenes threw another golden apple over her head and far to the side. As expected, she stopped to pick it up again. Hippomenes clenched his teeth and was running past. Nevertheless, within seconds, Atlanta was approaching. It seemed hopeless.
Paragraph 2: When she finally caught up with Hippomenes the second time, he threw the third and last apple. As it flew through the air, Atlanta was spellbound by the magic of golden apples. She impulsively ran towards the golden apple, bent down and picked it up. However, the golden apples were too heavy for her to bear. Hippomenes was taking the lead again. There was no chance for her to surpass him. By this time he was almost at the end of the race. Observing the rules in the bargain, they got married after Hippomenes won the race. Thanks to the Goddess, they lived happily ever after.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一位希腊公主Atlanta与求婚者Hippomenes之间的赛跑故事,其中穿插了神奇的元素,如金苹果的帮助和爱的力量,使得故事充满了神秘和浪漫的色彩。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“比赛开始时,Hippomenes跑得很快,但Atlanta跑得更快。”以及第二段首句内容“当她第二次追上Hippomenes时,他扔出了第三个也是最后一个苹果。”可知,第一段可描写Hippomenes两次扔出金苹果,试图超越Atlanta,但是都被Atlanta再次反超。
②由第二段首句内容“当她第二次追上Hippomenes时,他扔出了第三个也是最后一个苹果。”可知,第二段可描写而这一次,Hippomenes终于成功了,赢得了比赛,和Atlanta结婚。
2.续写线索:比赛开始后,Hippomenes跑得很快,但是Atlanta跑得更快——于是,Hippomenes扔出第一个金苹果,而Atlanta也停下来捡起金苹果——就这样,Hippomenes趁机超越了Atlanta——然而,片刻之后,Atlanta再次追上来,并超越他——Hippomenes又扔出第二个金苹果——Atlanta再次停下来捡苹果——Hippomenes又超过了Atlanta——但是,Atlanta很快又追了上来——无奈之下,Hippomenes扔出了最后一个苹果——Atlanta再次选择捡苹果——这一次,由于金苹果太重了,影响了Atlanta的速度——这一次,Hippomenes终于赢得了比赛——俩人结婚过上了幸福的生活
3.词汇激活
行为类
①被……迷住:be spellbound/be attracted to
②超过:surpass/exceed
