Alex had just started this job a few weeks ago and was still learning the ropes. Today, his task was to deliver a precious package to an old mansion on the outskirts of the town. As he drove along the slippery roads, the rain became heavier, making visibility almost zero. His GPS started malfunctioning, and he realized he had taken a wrong turn. By the time he corrected his route, he was running late. When Alex finally reached the mansion, he rushed to the front door, package in hand. An elderly man, Mr. Thompson, opened the door. Alex apologized profusely for the delay, but Mr. Thompson just smiled kindly and invited him in to dry off for a while. While waiting for the rain to case up, Alex noticed some old photographs on the wall. Mr. Thompson saw his interest and started sharing stories about his family. He talked about his son who lived far away and how he was eagerly waiting for the package, which contained important family heirlooms. Suddenly, Alex realized that there was a problem. In his hurry, he had mixed up the labels on two packages. The one he had delivered to Mr. Thompson was not the right one. Panic filled his heart, but he quickly explained the situation to Mr. Thompson. Instead of getting angry, Mr. Thompson remained calm. He told Alex that mistakes happen and that they should figure out a solution together. They called the delivery company, and Alex offered to drive back immediately to exchange the packages, even though the rain was still pouring. With the help of the company’s new GPS guidance, Alex managed to find the correct address. He swapped the packages and rushed back to the mansion. When he finally handed over the right package to Mr. Thompson, the old man’s eyes filled with joy. Mr. Thompson was so grateful that he wrote a letter of praise to Alex’s company. Because of his honesty and determination to fix the mistake, Alex not only kept his job but also received a bonus. This experience taught Alex that honesty and responsibility are the keys to success, no matter how difficult the situation may seem. 24. Which of the following best describes Alex’s initial reaction when he realized he had delivered the wrong package? A. He tried to cover up his mistake. B. He was calm and thought of a solution right away. C. He panicked but decided to be honest about the problem. D. He blamed the company’s GPS for the error. 25. What can be inferred from Mr. Thompson’s reaction to Alex’s mistake? A. Mr. Thompson had a habit of overlooking others’ errors. B. Mr. Thompson understood that everyone could make mistakes. C. Mr. Thompson was too old to be angry about such things. D. Mr. Thompson didn’t care much about the package. 26. The author uses the phrase “learning the ropes” in the first paragraph mainly to show that ______. A. Alex was an experienced deliveryman. B. Alex was eager to learn new skills. C. Alex had a lot of ropes to deliver. D. Alex was struggling with the new job. 27. What does the story imply about success in one’s job? A. Success is mainly determined by luck and external factors. 4 B. Only by avoiding mistakes can one achieve success. C. Having good communication skills is the key to success. D. Honesty and the willingness to correct mistakes are crucial for success. C It’s very common for students’ grades to experience a decline upon entering high school. Different teenagers deal with the newfound pressures differently, and while some tend to rise to the challenge, others can become overwhelmed (不知所措的) by stress. An interesting study conducted at The University of Texas has found that students’ views on learning and intelligence mindsets can make all the difference when it comes to fighting academic stress. The research team set out to learn why some students overcame the stressful transition (过渡) into high school and some struggled to maintain their academic skills and standards. Their findings pointed to a direct relationship between a student’s learning mindset and their stress resilience, especially when grades begin to decline. More specifically, students’ learning mindsets were defined as whether they considered intelligence a fixed characteristic that everyone is born with, or a constantly growing one that can be improved over time. In all, 499 ninth-graders from two public high schools in Texas were surveyed during their first term. Researchers assessed each student’s perceptions of intelligence, and asked each participant to fill out daily surveys on their academic stress levels. The results showed that 68% of students saw a decline in their grades during the first 12 weeks of high school. Those worsening grades, however, didn’t cause a higher stress response for everyone. It turned out that worsening grades only caused greater stress responses in students who showed signs of a fixed intelligence mindset, while students with a growth mindset were able to bounce back much more quickly. Researchers theorize this is because these students are more active in solving academic issues, for example, by clarifying lessons with teachers after class if they don’t understand a particular topic. “Declining grades may get ‘under the skin’ for high school students,” explains lead author Hae Yeon Lee. “But believing that intelligence can be developed or having what is called a growth mindset can reduce the effects of academic stress.” 28. What does the underlined word “resilience” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. The feeling of being stressed. B. The state of being very intelligent. C. The process of learning new things. D. The ability to recover from difficulties. 29. How did the researcher conduct the study? A. By observational study in classroom settings. B. By experimental study with controlled variables. C. By survey-based study with daily assessments. D. By case study focusing on individual students. 30. What can be inferred about students with a fixed intelligence mindset? A. They are more likely to seek help from teachers. B. They are less likely to experience academic stress. C. They tend to give up easily when facing challenges. D. They are more likely to improve their grades quickly. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. The Common Phenomenon of Grades Decline in High School B. Ways to Improve High School Students’ Academic Performance C. Fixed Intelligence: The Root of Worsening Grades for Students D. Growth Mindset: A Key to Handling Academic Stress in High School D Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year. The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work. 5 But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger. That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year. The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer. Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁 免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine. Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions. Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks. 32. The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________. A. a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend B. the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention C. anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons D. information about measles spreads quickly 33. Herd immunity works well when ____________. A. exemptions are allowed B. several vaccines are used together C. the whole neighborhood is involved in D. new regulations are added to the state laws 34. What is the main reason for the comeback of measles? A. The overuse of vaccine. B. The lack of medical care. C. The features of measles itself. D The vaccine opt-outs of some people. 35. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce the idea of exemption. B. To discuss methods to cure measles. C. To stress the importance of vaccination. D. To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment. 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。 Are you thinking about holidaying alone, but a bit concerned about the dangers? You needn’t worry if you consider these tips first. 1. Safety Unless you positively invite danger — i.e. wandering around a dark park at 3 a.m. with headphones on — travelling alone isn’t actually that risky. ___36___ In the case of taking taxis, always keep a record of the plate number and ask for an estimated fare before setting off. You should also carry your ID card with you and always keep a back-up. And most importantly, ensure that someone else knows your route and keep in regular contact with them. 2. Plan Being alone means you can’t use your partner’s phone when yours runs out of juice, or rely on them should you lose your wallet. ___37___ It’s a good idea to write down some key numbers of friends, hotels and emergency services beforehand, and keep some back-up money in your bag, just in case. 3. Eating Many single travelers have a fear of eating alone. ___38___ You can bring a book to avoid boredom, sit at counters to be less noticeable or use the opportunity to practice your foreign language on a waiter. 4. Making friends ___39___ This is another common concern when travelling alone. In fact, acquiring new companions (伙伴) is easier than feared. You can smile at people, have open body language, read something interesting to start conversation, or ask strangers a question. All these help you look approachable. More hands-on tips include visiting bars, joining tours or using apps designed to help people make friends. 6 5. Enjoy it Without having to consider others’ needs, the joy of solo travel is that you can be entirely selfish: walk at your preferred pace, eat what and when you want, and go wherever you like to see the sights that interest you__40___. A. What if no one likes me on my trip? B. The biggest danger is being taken for a ride. C. It’s actually not so hard to get over your worry. D. You needn’t get into a panic if this really happens. E.

I love planning for them, making the invitations, planning the games and decorating my own cake. The only thing that I don't like is deciding on the guest list. When 1 was in grade school my mom would tell me the maximum number of friends that I could invite and it was always a number too small for my list. I also liked all different kinds of people. I never quite fit into one of the many little groups at my school, so I just kind of floated around, accumulating friends from various backgrounds. There was an “in" crowd made up of the cool kids who had the power to rule the school-if a cool kid wore two different colored socks to school one day, everyone thought it was great. But if an uncool kid did the same thing, the other kids would turn away in disgust （厌恶）.It made getting dressed in the morning a very scary thing. Shannon was one of my friends who seemed to unknowingly break the rules of uncoolness" all the time. I don't know why she was targeted, but people found it acceptable to make fun of her. Shannon was a nice girl and wore pretty clothes, but was somewhat overweight and didn't talk much. She was picked on a lot. Whenever there was an strange noise or smell in the classroom the kids would giggle （咯咯笑）and point at her. Shannon never said anything, but it made me feel sick inside. Shannon was innocent, I thought. One year, to celebrate my birthday, my mom told me I could have a party at our house. I struggled for days deciding on which girls to invite. Once I had chosen all the names, I made the invitations and handed them out to my friends at school. “Why did you invite her?” asked one of my cool friends when it was discovered that I had invited Shannon. She pressured me to tell her not to come. There were other people I could add in her place who would be more acceptable. Paragraph 1 Unsure what to do, I was put in a difficult situation.____________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 ：Weeks later, Shannon suddenly called to thank me for inviting her to the party.______________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________
