B When you get a less desirable gift. people like to say, “It’s the thought that counts.” But with my mother’s gifts, you’ve really got to wonder, “What thought was that exactly?” My mother’s presents are never given to be mean; they are always presented with wide-eyed, innocent excitement. “Do you like it?” she always asks expectantly, and we nod our heads while we try to figure out what “it” is. Over the years, my mother’s Christmas presents have become well-known for the amusement — and sometimes horror — that they could cause. For instance, my mother once gave me a pair of bright red underwear, the kind that you see little girls wearing under their fancy dresses in old-timey pictures. Several years ago, she spent days working on a handmade clay (泥土) sculpture:a lovingly crafted, odd interpretation of my head. I took the clay head home and placed it on my bathroom counter as instructed. I soon discovered that few things terrify my two-year-old child more than a small, strange-looking version of his mother’s head staring at him while he was sitting on the toilet. Someone asked me what I hoped to get for this Christmas from my mother. “Oh nothing,” I explained. You don’t “hope” for gifts from her. They’re coming — whether you want them or not. But the weird, clueless, endless and enthusiastic love that comes with my mother’s gifts is the same love with which she raised me, and it’s hers and hers alone. She has always loved me for my boring personality unconditionally, and I — with all my eyerolls and sighs by the Christmas tree — love her unconditionally as well. There’s no better gift to give a child than the knowledge that they can be weird or awkward and still feel unconditionally loved. 4. Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1? A. To express concern about the gifts. B. To point out her mother’s lack of taste. C. To suggest her mom’s thoughtlessness. D. To stress the strange nature of the gifts. 5. Which of the following best describes the clay sculpture? A. Lovely. B. Realistic. C. Unimaginative. D. Horrifying. 6. How does the author feel about her mothers gifts according to paragraph 4? A. Hoping they will improve. B. Amused by their strangeness. C. Accepting they’re unavoidable. D. Determined to prevent their arrival. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. Gift ideas for loved ones. B. Message from mother’s gifts. C. Art of accepting unwanted gifts. D. Family traditions of giving gifts. C In business, there’s a speed gap: It’s the difference between how important a firm’s leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. That gap is significant regardless of region, industry, company size, or strategic emphasis. Organizations fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and many resources looking for ways to pick up the pace. In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period. How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services. In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes. Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top. 8. According to paragraph 1, what is the “speed gap” in business? A Delay between decision and action. B. Speed difference in companies of all sizes. C. Speed gap across industries and company types. D. Gap between leaders intentions and actual speed. 9. What does the underlined part “the laws of business physics” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Fewer hours better results. B. Less production, more value. C. More time, better performance. D. Slower operation, higher quality. 10. What can we learn about successful companies in the study? A. They focused on production speed. B. They competed through low prices. C. They avoided making major changes. D. They took time to adjust when needed. 11. What could be the best title for the text? A. Deliver Value? Plough Ahead B. Need Speed? Slow down C. Improve Quality? Serve Better D. Reduce Time? Move Faster D Globalization means different things to different people. Some define it as the movement of people, language, ideas, and products around the world. Others consider it as the control of multinational companies and the destruction of cultural identities. The world is turning into a little village, and we are all neighbors. The recent globalization is an irreversible (不可逆的) trend of which the so-called Americanization phenomenon seems to be more a consequence. Americanization is playing a major part in our daily lives. Going to any country in Asia nowadays, we are going to see many of the American coins now in currency everywhere. People have been used to finding American products worldwide, but now it is also increasingly common to find Asian products in the US. In many big cities, we can have sushi and sashimi in Japanese restaurants, go to the cinema and enjoy the beautiful American-Chinese movie, and take home spring rolls from Chinese restaurants. Everywhere we can see people wearing various clothes labeled Made in South Area (China, Singapore, etc.). It is the exotic (异国的) flavor that makes our life colorful. Many people, however, would like to curb the globalization process because e they think they are losing their own culture, but in fact, it is very difficult to stop this process. The only thing we can do is try to be critical and choose what is better for us to have or to buy. However, many people think that young people are not free to choose when they are constantly exposed to attractive advertisements which are specially designed to capture the youth market. Peaceful protests could be arranged just to help people think about the situation, but the tendency in our world is to want globalization. 12. How is paragraph 3 manly developed? A. By making classification. B. By providing examples. C. By following space order. D. By presenting causes and effects. 13. What does the underlined word “curb” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Rush through. B. Follow up. C. Adapt to. D. Slow down. 14. According to the author, what is the correct attitude toward globalization? A. Tolerant. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Opposing. 15. What can we learn about globalization? A. It lacks a universal definition. B. It is a result of Americanization. C. American dollars are a learning currency in Asia. D. Asians in the U. S. seldom enjoy homemade dishes. 第二节 (共5个小题；每小题2.5分.满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A recent report argues that parenting is harmful to people’s mental health, and proposes a series of solutions, including investments in child care and government paid family leave. ___16___. Yet the report is missing one important strategy that is within the control of every parent: a look in the mirror. ___17___. We’re biologically wired to prevent our children’s suffering and remove obstacles from their path. This urge has led to some pushy parenting style s like the “Helicopter Parent”, who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent”, who flattens any obstacle in their child’s way. A most important shift that parents can make is learning to replace our urge to fix problems with the patience to listen. ___18___. Listening, however, is about allowing emotions to exist without rushing to solve a problem. It communicates confidence in the child’s ability to cope with challenges, no matter how messy they might be. Learning any skill requires repeated missteps before mastery. Yet in today’s educational landscape, students can absorb an unconscious and unintended message that mistakes are permanent and have no value. Too many kids think that their parents want perfect school reports. ___19___. Not wanting to own mistakes can be most visible when it comes to student discipline. When a teenager crosses boundaries in school, one part of a school’s response is disciplinary (惩戒的). It’s a way of providing feedback. ___20___ . But too often, they are more worried about their child’s college applications than having him internalize valuable lessons. When they seek to control outcomes for their kids, they are trading short term wins for long-term thriving. A. There’s no question that parents desperately need more support. B. Parents need to stand with the school to support their child’s growth. C. Working in schools, I’ve watched thousands of parents overfunctioning. D. In pursuit of that unattainable goal, they sacrifice opportunity for growth. E. It’s about knowing when to step back and let children find their own way. F. Most parents now believe that their children will not be better off than them. G. A fix-it mindset is focused on quick solutions, at containing emotions or discomfort. 第三部分 语言运用(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days.

Several years ago, she spent days working on a handmade clay (泥土) sculpture:a lovingly crafted, odd interpretation of my head. I took the clay head home and placed it on my bathroom counter as instructed. I soon discovered that few things terrify my two-year-old child more than a small, strange-looking version of his mother’s head staring at him while he was sitting on the toilet. Someone asked me what I hoped to get for this Christmas from my mother. “Oh nothing,” I explained. You don’t “hope” for gifts from her. They’re coming — whether you want them or not. But the weird, clueless, endless and enthusiastic love that comes with my mother’s gifts is the same love with which she raised me, and it’s hers and hers alone. She has always loved me for my boring personality unconditionally, and I — with all my eyerolls and sighs by the Christmas tree — love her unconditionally as well. There’s no better gift to give a child than the knowledge that they can be weird or awkward and still feel unconditionally loved. 4. Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1? A. To express concern about the gifts. B. To point out her mother’s lack of taste. C. To suggest her mom’s thoughtlessness. D. To stress the strange nature of the gifts. 5. Which of the following best describes the clay sculpture? A Lovely. B. Realistic. C. Unimaginative. D. Horrifying. 6. How does the author feel about her mothers gifts according to paragraph 4? A. Hoping they will improve. B. Amused by their strangeness. C. Accepting they’re unavoidable. D. Determined to prevent their arrival. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. Gift ideas for loved ones. B. Message from mother’s gifts. C. Art of accepting unwanted gifts. D. Family traditions of giving gifts. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者母亲送的礼物总是很奇怪，但这些礼物背后是母亲无条件的爱。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When you get a less desirable gift. people like to say, “It’s the thought that counts.” But with my mother’s gifts, you’ve really got to wonder, “What thought was that exactly?” (当你收到一份不太理想的礼物时，人们喜欢说：“心意才是最重要的。”但是当我收到母亲的礼物时，你真的会忍不住想：“那到底是什么想法呢？”)”可知，作者在第一段提出问题是为了强调母亲送的礼物很奇怪。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Several years ago, she spent days working on a handmade clay (泥土) sculpture:a lovingly crafted, odd interpretation of my head. I took the clay head home and placed it on my bathroom counter as instructed. I soon discovered that few things terrify my two-year-old child more than a small, strange-looking version of his mother’s head staring at him while he was sitting on the toilet. (几年前，她还花了好几天时间亲手制作了一个泥塑雕像：一个精心制作、造型奇特的我的头部雕像。我按照她的吩咐把泥塑头像带回家，放在了浴室的台面上。很快我就发现，对我两岁的孩子来说，没有什么比在他坐在马桶上时，有一个小小的、模样奇怪的妈妈头像盯着他更让他害怕的了。)”可知，这个陶土雕塑让作者两岁的孩子感到害怕，所以用Horrifying“令人恐惧的”来形容最合适。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Someone asked me what I hoped to get for this Christmas from my mother. “Oh nothing,” I explained. You don’t “hope” for gifts from her. They’re coming — whether you want them or not. (有人问我希望今年圣诞节从母亲那里得到什么礼物。“哦，没什么，”我解释道。你不会对她的礼物抱有“希望”。不管你想要与否，它们都会来的。)”可知，作者觉得母亲的礼物是不可避免的，无论自己喜不喜欢都会收到。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“But the weird, clueless, endless and enthusiastic love that comes with my mother’s gifts is the same love with which she raised me, and it’s hers and hers alone. She has always loved me for my boring personality unconditionally, and I — with all my eyerolls and sighs by the Christmas tree — love her unconditionally as well. There’s no better gift to give a child than the knowledge that they can be weird or awkward and still feel unconditionally loved. (但是，伴随着我母亲礼物的那种奇怪、无知、无尽而热情的爱，就是她养育我的那种爱，而且这种爱只属于她。她总是无条件地爱我那无聊的性格，而我——在圣诞树旁翻着白眼、叹着气——也无条件地爱着她。没有什么比让孩子知道，他们可以很奇怪或尴尬，但仍然能感受到无条件的爱更好的礼物了。)”可知，文章主要讲述了母亲送的礼物虽然奇怪，但背后是她对作者无条件的爱，这是母亲礼物传达的信息。故选B。 C In business, there’s a speed gap: It’s the difference between how important a firm’s leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. That gap is significant regardless of region, industry, company size, or strategic emphasis. Organizations fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and many resources looking for ways to pick up the pace. In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period. How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services. In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes. Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top. 8. According to paragraph 1, what is the “speed gap” in business? A. Delay between decision and action. B. Speed difference in companies of all sizes. C. Speed gap across industries and company types. D. Gap between leaders intentions and actual speed. 9. What does the underlined part “the laws of business physics” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Fewer hours, better results. B. Less production, more value. C. More time, better performance. D. Slower operation, higher quality. 10. What can we learn about successful companies in the study? A. They focused on production speed. B. They competed through low prices. C. They avoided making major changes. D. They took time to adjust when needed. 11. What could be the best title for the text? A. Deliver Value? Plough Ahead B. Need Speed? Slow down C. Improve Quality? Serve Better D. Reduce Time? Move Faster 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了商业中的“速度差距”现象，即企业领导层声称速度与竞争策略的重要性与公司的实际行动速度之间的差距。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的内容“In business, there’s a speed gap: It’s the difference between how important a firm’s leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. (在商业中，存在一个速度差距：它指的是公司领导层声称速度与竞争策略的重要性，与公司实际行动速度之间的差异。)”可知，商业中的“速度差距”是指公司领导层的意图与实际速度之间的差距。故选D。 9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better？(他们是如何违背商业法则的，比竞争对手花更多时间却也能表现地更好吗？)”可知，划线部分指商业法则，应该是与“take more time”正好相反，所以可以推断出商业法则就是花费更少的时间且可以表现地更好。因此，选项A“Fewer hours, better results.(更少的时间，更好的结果)”与划线短语意思相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的内容“In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary.(在我们的研究中，具有战略速度的高绩效公司总是在必要时做出改变。)”可知，成功的高绩效公司会在需要时花时间进行调整。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的内容“In business, there’s a speed gap: It’s the difference between how important a firm’s leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. (在商业领域，存在着一种速度差异：这指的是企业高层所认为的“速度”对于其竞争策略的重要性与公司实际行动的速度之间的差距。)”以及后文对战略速度重要性的讨论可知，文章主要讨论了商业中的速度差距以及战略速度的重要性，强调有时候放慢速度反而能更快达到目标。因此，选项B“Need Speed? Slow down(需要速度吗？放慢脚步)”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 D Globalization means different things to different people. Some define it as the movement of people, language, ideas, and products around the world. Others consider it as the control of multinational companies and the destruction of cultural identities. The world is turning into a little village, and we are all neighbors. The recent globalization is an irreversible (不可逆的) trend of which the so-called Americanization phenomenon seems to be more a consequence. Americanization is playing a major part in our daily lives. Going to any country in Asia nowadays, we are going to see many of the American coins now in currency everywhere. People have been used to finding American products worldwide, but now it is also increasingly common to find Asian products in the US. In many big cities, we can have sushi and sashimi in Japanese restaurants, go to the cinema and enjoy the beautiful American-Chinese movie, and take home spring rolls from Chinese restaurants. Everywhere we can see people wearing various clothes labeled Made in South Area (China, Singapore, etc.). It is the exotic (异国的) flavor that makes our life colorful. Many people, however, would like to curb the globalization process because e they think they are losing their own culture, but in fact, it is very difficult to stop this process. The only thing we can do is try to be critical and choose what is better for us to have or to buy. However, many people think that young people are not free to choose when they are constantly exposed to attractive advertisements which are specially designed to capture the youth market. Peaceful protests could be arranged just to help people think about the situation, but the tendency in our world is to want globalization. 12. How is paragraph 3 manly developed? A. By making classification. B. By providing examples. C By following space order. D. By presenting causes and effects. 13. What does the underlined word “curb” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Rush through. B. Follow up. C. Adapt to. D. Slow down. 14. According to the author, what is the correct attitude toward globalization? A. Tolerant. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Opposing. 15. What can we learn about globalization? A. It lacks a universal definition. B. It is a result of Americanization. C. American dollars are a learning currency in Asia. D. Asians in the U. S. seldom enjoy homemade dishes. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了全球化含义多样，人们对其看法不一，应理性看待全球化。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“People have been used to finding American products worldwide, but now it is also increasingly common to find Asian products in the US. In many big cities, we can have sushi and sashimi in Japanese restaurants, go to the cinema and enjoy the beautiful American-Chinese movie, and take home spring rolls from Chinese restaurants. Everywhere we can see people wearing various clothes labeled Made in South Area (China, Singapore, etc.). (人们已经习惯于在世界各地找到美国产品，但现在在美国找到亚洲产品也越来越普遍。在许多大城市，我们可以在日本餐馆吃寿司和生鱼片，去电影院欣赏美丽的美国-中国电影，从中国餐馆带春卷回家。在每一个地方，我们都能看到人们穿着各种标有“南区制造”（中国、新加坡等）的衣服。)”可知，第三段是通过举例说明全球化带来的影响来展开的。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Many people, however, would like to curb the globalization process because e they think they are losing their own culture, but in fact, it is very difficult to stop this process. (然而，许多人希望curb全球化进程，因为他们觉得自己正在失去本国文化，但实际上，这一进程很难被阻止。)”可知，很多人想阻止全球化，因为他们认为他们正在失去自己的文化，curb意为“阻止，减缓”。A. Rush through匆忙完成；B. Follow up跟进；C. Adapt to适应；D. Slow down减缓。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The only thing we can do is try to be critical and choose what is better for us to have or to buy. (我们唯一能做的就是试着批判性地思考，选择对我们来说更好或更值得购买的东西。)”可知，作者认为，对于全球化，我们应该持谨慎的态度。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Globalization means different things to different people. Some define it as the movement of people, language, ideas, and products around the world. Others consider it as the control of multinational companies and the destruction of cultural identities. (全球化对不同的人意味着不同的事情。一些人将其定义为人员、语言、思想和产品在全球范围内的流动。另一些人则认为它是跨国公司的控制和文化身份的破坏。)”可知，全球化缺乏一个普遍的定义。故选A。 第二节 (共5个小题；每小题2.5分.满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A recent report argues that parenting is harmful to people’s mental health, and proposes a series of solutions, including investments in child care and government paid family leave. ___16___. Yet the report is missing one important strategy that is within the control of every parent: a look in the mirror. ___17___. We’re biologically wired to prevent our children’s suffering and remove obstacles from their path. This urge has led to some pushy parenting style s like the “Helicopter Parent”, who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent”, who flattens any obstacle in their child’s way. A most important shift that parents can make is learning to replace our urge to fix problems with the patience to listen. ___18___. Listening, however, is about allowing emotions to exist without rushing to solve a problem. It communicates confidence in the child’s ability to cope with challenges, no matter how messy they might be. Learning any skill requires repeated missteps before mastery. Yet in today’s educational landscape, students can absorb an unconscious and unintended message that mistakes are permanent and have no value. Too many kids think that their parents want perfect school reports. ___19___. Not wanting to own mistakes can be most visible when it comes to student discipline. When a teenager crosses boundaries in school, one part of a school’s response is disciplinary (惩戒的). It’s a way of providing feedback. ___20___ . But too often, they are more worried about their child’s college applications than having him internalize valuable lessons. When they seek to control outcomes for their kids, they are trading short term wins for long-term thriving. A. There’s no question that parents desperately need more support. B. Parents need to stand with the school to support their child’s growth. C. Working in schools, I’ve watched thousands of parents overfunctioning. D. In pursuit of that unattainable goal, they sacrifice opportunity for growth. E. It’s about knowing when to step back and let children find their own way. F. Most parents now believe that their children will not be better off than them. G. A fix-it mindset is focused on quick solutions, at containing emotions or discomfort. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. G 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讨论了育儿对父母心理健康的影响。文章强调了父母应避免“直升机式”和“扫雪机式”过度育儿方式，学会倾听而非急于解决问题，允许孩子从错误中成长，并指出父母需与学校合作支持孩子成长，而非过度关注孩子的学业成绩和大学申请等。 【16题详解】 上文“A recent report argues that parenting is harmful to people’s mental health, and proposes a series of solutions, including investments in child care and government paid family leave. (最近的一份报告指出，养育子女对人们的心理健康有害，并提出了一系列解决方案，包括对儿童保育的投入以及政府提供的带薪育儿假。)”提到一份报告认为育儿对人们的心理健康有害，并提出了一系列解决方案。A选项“There’s no question that parents desperately need more support.(毫无疑问，父母们迫切需要更多的支持)”承接上文，指出父母们确实需要更多的支持来解决育儿带来的压力和问题，同时与下文“Yet the report is missing one important strategy that is within the control of every parent: a look in the mirror.(然而，这份报告却遗漏了一个每个家长都能做到的重要策略：那就是好好审视一下自己。)”与前文形成转折，引出报告所忽略的一个重要策略——父母的自我反思。因此，A选项既符合上下文逻辑，又能很好地衔接前后文。故选A。 17题详解】 下文提到“ We’re biologically wired to prevent our children’s suffering and remove obstacles from their path.(我们天生就有防止孩子受苦、为他们清除障碍的本能)”，并举例说明了两种过度保护的育儿方式。此空需要引出下文关于父母过度保护孩子的讨论。C选项“Working in schools, I’ve watched thousands of parents overfunctioning.(在学校工作时，我观察到成千上万的父母过度保护孩子)”符合这一需求，既点明了父母过度保护孩子的现象，也为下文的详细讨论提供了背景。故选C。 【18题详解】 上文“A most important shift that parents can make is learning to replace our urge to fix problems with the patience to listen. (家长们可以做出的一项至关重要的转变是：学会用耐心倾听来取代急于解决问题的冲动。)”提到父母需要学会用耐心倾听来替代急于解决问题的冲动，下文则进一步解释了倾听的含义。G选项“A fix-it mindset is focused on quick solutions, at containing emotions or discomfort.(解决问题的心态专注于快速解决方案，以抑制情绪或不适)”正好承接上文，解释了父母急于解决问题的心态，并为后文强调的“倾听是允许情绪存在而不急于解决问题”形成了对比。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文提到“Too many kids think that their parents want perfect school reports. (太多的孩子认为他们的父母想要完美的成绩单)”，此空需要承接上文，进一步说明这种观念对孩子的影响。D选项“In pursuit of that unattainable goal, they sacrifice opportunity for growth.(在追求那个无法达到的目标时，他们牺牲了成长的机会)”符合这一需求，既承接了上文提到的父母对孩子成绩的期望，也指出了这种期望对孩子成长的不利影响。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“When a teenager crosses boundaries in school, one part of a school’s response is disciplinary (惩戒的). It’s a way of providing feedback.(当青少年在校园内触犯校规时，学校采取的应对措施之一便是进行惩戒。这是一种提供反馈的方式。)”提到学校对违纪学生的惩戒是一种提供反馈的方式，此空需要承接上文，进一步说明家长在面对孩子惩戒时的态度。B选项“Parents need to stand with the school to support their child’s growth.(家长需要与学校站在一起，支持孩子的成长)”符合这一需求，既承接了上文提到的学校惩戒，也指出了家长应该与学校合作，共同支持孩子的成长。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共15 小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days.

It was the first time I had studied under someone with dark skin like mine. Jackson was already in his sixties at that time, yet he was still full of energy and radiated confidence. On the first day, he rushed into the classroom like a train with a failed brake. His voice was loud and deep. Once excited, his hands would wave in the air. ... He demonstrated great enthusiasm, firm confidence and superb musical talent in class and generously shared these with us who met him by chance. 【解析】 【详解】1.考查时间状语从句及短语。“当……时”用when引导时间状语从句，“宣布”是announce，这里用过去式announced；“想要某人做某事”是want sb. to do sth.；“合唱团”是choir；“迫不及待做某事”固定表达为couldn't wait to do sth.，“抓住机会”是seize the opportunity。句子描述过去发生的事情，整体用一般过去时，故译为When Jackson announced that he wanted us to join the choir, I couldn't wait to seize the opportunity. 2.考查固定句型。“这是某人第一次做某事”常见句型为“It was the first time (that) sb. had done sth.”，此处that可省略；“师从”表达为“study under”，这里用过去完成时had studied ；“有着深色皮肤”用“with dark skin” ，“像我的一样”即“like mine” 。句子讲述过去的经历，符合该句型结构，故译为It was the first time I had studied under someone with dark skin like mine. 3.考查时态和短语。“六十多岁”表达为“in one's sixties” ，“那时”是“at that time” ，所以“Jackson那时已经六十多岁了”译为“Jackson was already in his sixties at that time” ；“精力充沛”常见表达为“be full of energy” ；“散发（某种特质）”用“radiate” ，“自信”是“confidence” ，“但”表转折用“yet” 。句子描述过去的状态，用一般过去时，故译为Jackson was already in his sixties at that time, yet he was still full of energy and radiated confidence. 4.考查词汇与短语。“第一天”表达为“On the first day” ，在句中作时间状语；“冲进”常见表达是“rush into” ；“仿佛”用“like” ；“刹车失灵”可理解为“有失灵刹车的”，“失灵的”用“failed” ，“刹车”是“brake” ，所以“一辆刹车失灵的火车”为“a train with a failed brake” 。句子描述过去的动作，用一般过去时，故译为On the first day, he rushed into the classroom like a train with a failed brake. 5. 考查省略句及时态。“嗓门很大，声音低沉” ，直接表述为 “His voice was loud and deep”，用一般过去时描述过去的状态。“一旦激动起来” ，完整表述为 “Once he was excited” ，在状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语一致，且从句谓语含有 be 动词时，可省略从句的主语和 be 动词，即 “Once excited” ；“在空中挥舞” 表达为 “wave in the air” ，这里 “would + 动词原形” 表过去习惯性动作，故译为His voice was loud and deep. Once excited, his hands would wave in the air. 6. 考查时态和定语从句。“展示” 常见表达为 “demonstrate” ；“巨大的热情” 是 “great enthusiasm” ，“坚定的信心” 为 “firm confidence” ，“精湛的音乐才能” 即 “superb musical talent” ；“在课堂上” 是 “in class” ；“慷慨地” 是 “generously” ；“与…… 分享” 用 “share...with...” ；“不期而遇” 表达为 “by chance” ，这里 “who met him by chance” 是定语从句修饰 “us” ，描述过去发生的事用一般过去时，故译为He demonstrated great enthusiasm, firm confidence and superb musical talent in class and generously shared these with us who met him by chance. 第七部分 书面表达 (满分 15分) 62. 假设你是李华，你校的英语报拟增设一个栏目，外籍编辑Eric提出“Music and me”和“British history and traditions”两个选项，征询同学们的意见。请你给Eric写一封邮件， 内容包括：1.你的选择；2. 说明理由。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Eric, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】范文一 Dear Eric, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. I would choose “Music and me”. Music is a universal language that connects people. Many students enjoy listening to or playing music, and sharing personal stories about music can make the newspaper more lively and personal. “British history and traditions” is also interesting, but it might feel a bit distant for some students. Music, however, is something we experience every day. It can inspire creativity and bring joy. I believe this topic will attract more readers and encourage them to share their own stories. Looking forward to your decision! Best wishes, Li Hua 范文二 Dear Eric, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. I choose “British History and Traditions” for some reasons. First, learning about British history helps us understand the world better. By studying important events and famous people, we can see how Britain influenced global culture and science. Second, traditions like afternoon tea or royal ceremonies are both educational and interesting. Understanding these customs allows us to connect with British friends and appreciate cultural differences. We could even compare them with Chinese traditions in future articles! While music is fun, history offers lasting knowledge that improves our reading skills and broadens our horizons. This column will inspire students to explore beyond textbooks. Thank you for considering my opinion!
