One of the best feelings is knowing that I have made a(n) ___1___ impact on another person’s life.
During my freshman year, I got my first real job at Dunkin’ Donuts. I quickly became aware that customers’ ___2___ was important, so I tried to provide the best service that I could. I still remember one customer vividly, an elderly gentleman named Frank. He came in every Sunday afternoon and ordered a medium coffee with two old-fashioned donuts. Immediately after I saw him pull into the parking lot, I ___3___ his order, having it ready by the time he walked in. If I had no other work to do, I sat and talked with him. We learned a lot about each other. I could not help feeling sorry for him because his wife had recently passed away.
After a year of working every weekend, I eventually decided to leave and turned in my two-week notice. The most difficult part of ___4___ was not telling my boss, but informing Frank. I felt like I was ___5___ him. When I finally brought it up, he ___6___ replied, “Oh, that’s too bad. I’m sure that the staff will miss you.” I began to think that our visits held no real importance to him, and that he would be just as ___7___ enjoying his food alone. ___8___, on my last day, Frank came in with a card that simply read, “Your kindness during the time we have spent together is heartwarming. You had no ___9___ to speak a word to me, let alone show a real interest in our conversations. Few things have brought me more pleasure than our weekly visits. Thank you.”

The image of that staircase never left my mind. It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories.
Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears.
“Just ignore them” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul.
Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college on the West Coast, and left small-town Colorado behind me. I earned a degree in Communications, launched a rewarding career as a writer and teacher, got married, and raised two amazing boys. But when I looked in the mirror, the doubts returned.
Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys off. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of.
I practiced my speech in my mind as I ran errands (差事), cooked dinner, and exercised at senior aerobics. In September, I drove down to the town where I’d spent my high school years. I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and steeled myself for the Friday night opening reception.
Maybe it’s true that memory is the first thing to go. On the night, people greeted me politely, drinks in hand, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time.
Had I completely erased that whole period of my life from my memory? Was I at the wrong reunion? No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons, living in Seattle, and writing résumés for Boeing workers. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers.
It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive.
Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said.
I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.
24. Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion?
A. To meet her old teachers. B. To prove her career success.
C. To apologize for past misunderstandings. D. To confront hurtful boys and show her worth.
25. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The author fought against her bullies directly.
B. The reunion attendees were mostly strangers.
C. The author’s career success healed her trauma.
D. The instructor’s compliment was first genuinely embraced.
26. What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion?
A. Confused and sad. B. Angry and proud.
C. Relieved and confident. D. Disappointed and regretful.
27. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Power of Letting Go B. A Surprising Reunion Letter
C. Finding Friends in Strangers D. The Painful High School Years
C
Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism and materialism…perhaps even a new type of president.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble—even when they use their strengths.
28. Why teenagers’ strengths are often mistaken for narcissism?
A. Teenagers with strengths are always arrogant, selfish and uncaring.
B. The public are more exposed to research on narcissism.
C. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
D. Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
29. The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 to show that________.
A. they are both victims of binary thinking
B. public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism
C. confidence is quite important for celebrities
D. one can be both modest and sure of himself
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches?
A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Favorable. D. Cautious.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood
B. Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis
C. Teens’ Anxiety and Depression
D. Teens’ Strength Psychology

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Why does rain seem to make you sleepy?
This spring on the east coast of the US, it feels like we’ve lost touch with the sun. In Washington, DC, 14 of the first 17 days of May were rainy. ___32___. It means that for me, May has been one of the months I've felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almost all of our senses in a way that gives a sign to us it is time for a sleep.
First, there's what we see-or rather, what we don't. ___33___ When it's raining and skies are cloudy, we miss out our body's internal alarm clock. As Naomi, a scientist from Central on Queensland University said, when you don't see the sunlight first thing in the morning, your body never gets the signal that it needs to shift into daytime mode.
___34___ Plants produce oils during dry periods, possibly to stop seeds from developing. When it rains, the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a "musky” smell. ___35___. Additionally, after a thunderstorm there's a chance you may smell ozone(臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Some compare its smell to that of clean bed sheets.
Rain sounds are also comforting. The rhythmic pattern of rain hitting a roof, umbrella, or the ground below is called "pink noise." Pink noise is a category of background noise that has all of the frequencies that human can hear and has lower volumes at higher frequencies. According to some research, it may improve our quality of sleep by decreasing our brain activity. ___36___
The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earthy scents, and the peace of the rain tapping on windows are enough to make anyone want to go back to bed for the day. Sadly, none of this evidence is enough to justify doing so; but it can at least explain why you may feel a little sleepy on these cloudy days.
A. Noises can make us feel sleepier during the daytime.
B. The others have been cloudy and dull for at least part of the day.
C. That earthy smell of rain can make you feel calm and comfortable.
D. It makes it easier for us to wake up from our sleep the night before.
E. Sunlight causes our bodies to stop producing what makes us sleepy at night
F. And you'll also smell that when you are in your garden turning over your soil
G. You can listen to an hour of rain on a window here, if you intend to test it out

They say to find out what you really want, go back to when you were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discouraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the most beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a project to create a portrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were done, we presented our portraits. We stood in front of the class and explained our technique. I remember looking at other portraits thinking, “We were given the same skills, why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?”
But I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can paint over it. I can mix colors and make new ones. Also, I can release some creative juices, use what has inspired me and allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have imagined.
But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, I just decided to change what beauty looked like. I changed what beauty meant to me.
Throughout school, they taught us about Picasso, van Gogh and da Vinci, and I never saw myself or my art in their works. These artists were always painting whatever was in front of them and around them. But that’s not what I saw around me.
Then I learned about Basquiat, who inspired me to paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m moved, and I am often moved by what’s natural: emotions, nature, and other forms of art. I am also very moved by pain. When there is pain in the world or in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a conversation with an activist in St. Louis named Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me, “Pain is energy. You have to learn how to channel that energy into something productive.” So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting.
Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by society’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able to create something. My paintings may not be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, so I love them anyway.
49. What did the author find after the portrait presentation?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
50. What factors motivated the author to keep his passion for arts?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
51. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The author has always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, so he tried to meet society’s standards.

12. to balance
13. have been identified
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要报道了中国在农业发展上的新战略重点。
【11题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:专家表示,中国已将战略重点放在发展新的优质农业生产力上,这标志着农业增长向个性化和技术驱动型转变。本句已有谓语动词has put,所以signal用非谓语形式,此处为非谓语动词作状语,signal和逻辑主语China之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填signaling/signalling。
12题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:先进设备和绿色技术应融入农业生产的每一个阶段,以平衡生产力和可持续性。本句已有谓语动词should be integrated,所以balance用非谓语形式,根据句意,此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to balance。
【13题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:例如,在种子研究中发现了许多优良基因。identify作本句谓语,和主语superior genes之间是被动关系,用被动语态,根据前文时间状语Up to now可知,用现在完成时的被动语态,主语为名词复数。故填have been identified。

The image of that staircase never left my mind. It had been forty years since I graduated high school, but the staircase haunted my memories.
Boys would sit on both sides of the staircase, rating the girls as we walked by. If they thought a girl was really ugly, they barked. Every time I walked up or down those stairs, the barks, woofs, and laughter rang in my ears.
“Just ignore them,” my mother advised. And I did. On the surface. But inside the painful message that I was ugly rooted deep into my soul.
Eventually, I graduated, got accepted to college on the West Coast, and left small-town Colorado behind me. I earned a degree in Communications, launched a rewarding career as a writer and teacher, got married, and raised two amazing boys. But when I looked in the mirror, the doubts returned.
Then I got an invitation to my fortieth high school reunion. I didn’t like high school, but I wanted to go back and tell those boys off. I wanted to tell them how hurtful and unkind they were. And I wanted to show them they were wrong. I had a husband, a family and all the things they’d made me feel I wasn’t worthy of.
I practiced my speech in my mind as I ran errands (差事), cooked dinner, and exercised at senior aerobics. In September, I drove down to the town where I’d spent my high school years. I put on my favorite blouse, touched up my make-up, and steeled myself for the Friday night opening reception.
Maybe it’s true that memory is the first thing to go. On the night, people greeted me politely, drinks in hand, flattering me with “You haven’t changed at all.” I’d look at the face and study the nametag with the graduation photo, but it didn’t ring a bell most of the time.
Had I completely erased that whole period of my life from my memory? Was I at the wrong reunion? No, some women remembered my mother being their Girl Scout leader. Others had kind things to say about my father, a local college professor. My planned speech wilted (枯萎) on my lips. Instead, I chatted breezily about my two grown sons, living in Seattle, and writing résumés for Boeing workers. People were nice enough, but aside from a couple of friends, I felt like I was talking to strangers.
It was pointless to hold a grudge (怨恨) against people I couldn’t even recognize. I was only hurting myself by replaying those memories in my mind. I knew I needed to forgive. A dark sorrow lifted from my soul. I felt happier, more self-confident and attractive.
Back home, our senior fitness instructor noticed that I was wearing a new T-shirt. “You are really rockin’ that shirt,” she said.
I smiled. She’d said that before, but this time I believed it.
24. Why did the author decide to attend the 40th high school reunion?
A. To meet her old teachers. B. To prove her career success.
C. To apologize for past misunderstandings. D. To confront hurtful boys and show her worth.
25. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The author fought against her bullies directly.
B. The reunion attendees were mostly strangers.
C. The author’s career success healed her trauma.
D. The instructor’s compliment was first genuinely embraced.
26. What can be inferred about the author’s feelings after the high school reunion?
A. Confused and sad. B. Angry and proud.
C. Relieved and confident. D. Disappointed and regretful.
27. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Power of Letting Go B. A Surprising Reunion Letter

Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism and materialism…perhaps even a new type of president.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble—even when they use their strengths.
28. Why teenagers’ strengths are often mistaken for narcissism?
A. Teenagers with strengths are always arrogant, selfish and uncaring.
B. The public are more exposed to research on narcissism.
C. There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
D. Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
29. The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 to show that________.
A. they are both victims of binary thinking
B. public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism
C. confidence is quite important for celebrities
D. one can be both modest and sure of himself
30. What’s the author’s attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches?
A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Favorable. D. Cautious.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood
B. Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis
C. Teens’ Anxiety and Depression
D. Teens’ Strength Psychology
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了人们倾向于将青少年的自信误解为自恋,并分析了其背后的原因。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Why does this occur? It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. (为什么会发生这种情况?部分原因是人们对自恋的了解多于对优点的了解。尽管优点心理学在很大程度上还停留在学术期刊的范围内,或者只在特定的情境应用,如工作场所中,但关于自恋的研究已经进入了大众媒体和我们的集体意识。)”可知。对自恋的研究渗入到了大众媒体和人们的集体意识,而对优点的研究还停留在学术期刊的范围内或者特定的情境,由此可推测出,人们经常把青少年的优点误认为是自恋,这是因为人们更多地接触了关于自恋的研究,已经深入自我意识。故选B。
29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness. (我们错误地认为人不可能在自信的同时保持谦逊。我们的目光都放在了特朗普和金·卡戴珊的身上,而忽略了甘地和特蕾莎修女。如果甘地和特蕾莎对自己的优点不够自信的话,他们不可能有如此成就,然而,他们同时还是谦逊和无私的人。)”可推知,提到甘地和特蕾莎修女是为了表明一个人可以同时保持谦逊和自信。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble—even when they use their strengths. (人们很容易得出这样的结论:每个年轻人都有成为自恋者的风险,但我想维护我共事过的成千上万的年轻人,他们关心他人、有思想、谦逊——即使他们发挥了自己的优点。)”可知,作者认为即使年轻人发挥了自己的优点,他们仍然能够具有关心他人、有思想、谦逊这些优秀的品质,而不会变成自恋者,由此可推测出,作者对基于优点的方法持支持态度。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,第一段中的“A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋). (一个恰当的例子是基于优点的科学和关于自恋的研究之间微妙且被误解的重叠。)”引出本文要讨论的话题:人们倾向于将青少年的自信误解为自恋,接着分析了这种现象及其背后的原因。由此可推测出,A项“青少年被误解的自信”最适合作本文标题。故选A。

Why does rain seem to make you sleepy?
This spring on the east coast of the US, it feels like we’ve lost touch with the sun. In Washington, DC, 14 of the first 17 days of May were rainy. ___32___. It means that for me, May has been one of the months I've felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almost all of our senses in a way that gives a sign to us it is time for a sleep.
First, there's what we see-or rather, what we don't. ___33___ When it's raining and skies are cloudy, we miss out our body's internal alarm clock. As Naomi, a scientist from Central on Queensland University said, when you don't see the sunlight first thing in the morning, your body never gets the signal that it needs to shift into daytime mode.
___34___ Plants produce oils during dry periods, possibly to stop seeds from developing. When it rains, the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a "musky” smell. ___35___. Additionally, after a thunderstorm there's a chance you may smell ozone(臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Some compare its smell to that of clean bed sheets.
Rain sounds are also comforting. The rhythmic pattern of rain hitting a roof, umbrella, or the ground below is called "pink noise." Pink noise is a category of background noise that has all of the frequencies that human can hear and has lower volumes at higher frequencies. According to some research, it may improve our quality of sleep by decreasing our brain activity. ___36___
The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earthy scents, and the peace of the rain tapping on windows are enough to make anyone want to go back to bed for the day. Sadly, none of this evidence is enough to justify doing so; but it can at least explain why you may feel a little sleepy on these cloudy days.
A. Noises can make us feel sleepier during the daytime.
B. The others have been cloudy and dull for at least part of the day.
C. That earthy smell of rain can make you feel calm and comfortable.
D. It makes it easier for us to wake up from our sleep the night before.
E. Sunlight causes our bodies to stop producing what makes us sleepy at night
F. And you'll also smell that when you are in your garden turning over your soil
G. You can listen to an hour of rain on a window here, if you intend to test it out
【答案】32. B 33. E 34. C 35. F 36. G

【点睛】在七选五的解题过程中,选项中的代词与空处上下文出现的某一(些)名词的指代关系往往是重要线索,例如本篇第4题,根据空前的“When it rains, the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a "musky””可知,下雨时,雨水会把油带出来,油和一种化学物质混合,产生一种“麝香味”,此处承接上文,讲的还是关于“麝香味”这一话题,F项中的that指代的就是前面提到的“a "musky” smell”,故F项(当你在花园里翻土的时候,你也会闻到这种味道)符合语境。

They say to find out what you really want, go back to when you were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discouraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the most beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a project to create a portrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were done, we presented our portraits. We stood in front of the class and explained our technique. I remember looking at other portraits thinking, “We were given the same skills, why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?”
But I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can paint over it. I can mix colors and make new ones. Also, I can release some creative juices, use what has inspired me and allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have imagined.
But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, I just decided to change what beauty looked like. I changed what beauty meant to me.
Throughout school, they taught us about Picasso, van Gogh and da Vinci, and I never saw myself or my art in their works. These artists were always painting whatever was in front of them and around them. But that’s not what I saw around me.
Then I learned about Basquiat, who inspired me to paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m moved, and I am often moved by what’s natural: emotions, nature, and other forms of art. I am also very moved by pain. When there is pain in the world or in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a conversation with an activist in St. Louis named Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me, “Pain is energy. You have to learn how to channel that energy into something productive.” So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting.
Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by society’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able to create something. My paintings may not be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, so I love them anyway.

【49题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“After we were done, we presented our portraits. We stood in front of the class and explained our technique. I remember looking at other portraits thinking, “We were given the same skills, why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?”(完成后,我们展示了我们的肖像。我们站在全班面前解释我们的技术。我记得看着其他肖像画时想,“我们被赋予了同样的技能,为什么他们的看起来如此专业,而我的看起来如此业余?”)”可知,展示肖像后,作者发现其他同学的肖像画看起来很专业,而自己的显得业余。故答案为Other kids’ portraits looked so professional and but his looked so amateur.
【50题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it.(当我还是个孩子的时候,我真的很想成为一名画家,但我从来都不擅长)”、第三段“But I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art.(但我仍然很喜欢画画,因为这是一种宽容的艺术)”、第六段“Then I learned about Basquiat, who inspired me to paint abstract pictures. (然后我了解了巴斯奎特,他启发我画抽象画)”以及“So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting.(所以有时我会将这种痛苦转化为艺术,转化为绘画)”可知,促使作者保持对绘画热情的因素包括:他儿时的梦想;他相信痛苦是一种宽容的艺术;他的灵感来自巴斯奎特;他能够将痛苦转化为艺术。故答案为His childhood dream; His belief that paining is a forgiving art; The inspiration he got from Basquiat; The fact that he could channel pain into art.(列出至少两条)
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段“But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, I just decided to change what beauty looked like. I changed what beauty meant to me.(但因为我一直想画出美丽的画,所以我决定改变美丽的样子。我改变了美对我的意义)”以及最后一段“Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by society’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able to create something. My paintings may not be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, so I love them anyway.(即使这幅画在美学上不符合社会标准,但我能够创造一些东西仍然很美。我的画可能不是巴斯奎特的,但它们是我的,所以无论如何我都喜欢它们)”可知,作者一直想画出漂亮的画,所以他决定改变美的样子,改变美对他意味着什么,但他没有试图达到社会的标准。即错误部分为so he tried to meet society’s standards。故答案为The author has always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, so he tried to meet society's standards.
So he just decided to change what beauty looked like, and he changed what beauty meant to him.
So he changed what beauty looked like.
So he changed what beauty meant to him.
But he didn’t try to meet the society’s standards.
