The 69-year-old woman has taken photos of the people who offered their seats to her on buses. The 59 photos are good memories for her. Some of the smiles are shy some friendly, and others are like sunshine. They helped her remember the good times when she was helped. The old woman is not very good at taking photos with her smartphone. Some of them are of poor quality (质量), but the photos have become famous right away on the Internet. “The smiles show people’s care and love for others, and they are becoming valuable (珍贵的) in today’s world. Her act also shows her thanks to those who have helped her,” says Zhang. Offering one’s seat to elderly people on buses has become a hot topic of discussion. These days, we often see young people fight with older people. Such things won’t happen if we think more about others and are more thankful when others offer help. 8.

Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. ②You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing this quiet inner speech. It can help us in different areas like school, sports and work. ③When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. A 2009 study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group. ④Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Referring to yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,” said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different point of view, especially when we’re feeling sad or angry. ⑤Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study published in the journal Memory. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if said out loud. 12. What might the underlined word “benefits” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Strange ideas. B. Healthy ways. C. Special needs. D. Good sides. 13. According to Paragraph 3, what can self-talking help to do? A. Find out who the best players are. B. Develop a player’s skills. C. Improve one’s confidence. D. Change a person’s character. 14. According to the last paragraph, reading out can ________. A. help listeners have long-term memory B. help one remember things longer C. help to memorize things very quickly D. make more people know the information 15. Which of the following shows how the passage goes? A. B. C. D. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了自言自语的多重好处，包括增强自信、管理情绪和改善记忆等。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits”及下文“You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps...”可知“benefits”指的是自言自语的好处，故选D 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group”可知自言自语可以帮助提升自信，故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Those who read out loud recalled the information the best”和“It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if said out loud”可知大声朗读可以帮助人们更长时间地记住事物，故选B 【15题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段介绍自言自语有很多好处，第二段进一步强调大声说出来有很多好处；第三段、第四段和第五段分别介绍自言自语具体的好处，因此A项符合文章的结构，故选A。 第二节 补全短文（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Paper cuts can hurt a lot, even though they are very small!

B Dealing with Teenage Stress A survey shows that a large number of teenagers in our city are under stress. The main reasons for their stress are exams, schoolwork, and getting along with parents and classmates. To help students deal with stress, Xinhua Middle School has carried out some activities. They offer counseling services where students can talk to professional counselors about their problems. The school also organizes group discussions and workshops on stress management. In the workshops, students learn various ways to relax, such as listening to music, doing sports, and reading books. They are also taught how to communicate better with others and solve problems. “These activities have really helped me a lot,” said Zhang Lan, a student. “I used to be very nervous before exams, but now I know how to calm myself down and perform better.” Experts suggest that parents should also pay attention to their children’s mental health and give them enough support and understanding. 4. What are the main reasons for teenagers’ stress according to the survey? A. Chores and hobbies B. Exams, schoolwork, and relationships C. Sports and games D. Travel and vacations 5. What does Xinhua Middle School do to help students deal with stress? A. Offer counseling services B. Give more homework C. Organize more exams D. Ban the use of mobile phones 6. What can students learn in the stress management workshops? A. How to study harder B How to make more friends C. How to relax and communicate better D. How to win in sports competitions 7. What do experts suggest parents do? A. Give their children more pocket money B. Let their children play more games C. Pay attention to their children’s mental health D. Force their children to study more C The “59 smiles” on a smartphone by an old woman in Wuhan tell a big story. The smiles are from 59 people who offered her seats on buses in about six months. “Everyone can be a good citizen (市民), because sometimes a friendly smile can help build a better world,” says Zhang Yongsheng in an article on youth.cn. The 69-year-old woman has taken photos of the people who offered their seats to her on buses. The 59 photos are good memories for her. Some of the smiles are shy, some friendly, and others are like sunshine. They helped her remember the good times when she was helped. The old woman is not very good at taking photos with her smartphone. Some of them are of poor quality (质量), but the photos have become famous right away on the Internet. “The smiles show people’s care and love for others, and they are becoming valuable (珍贵) in today’s world. Her act also shows her thanks to those who have helped her,” says Zhang. Offering one’s seat to elderly people on buses has become a hot topic of discussion. These days, we often see young people fight with older people. Such things won’t happen if we think more about others and are more thankful when others offer help. 8. What does the underlined word “memories” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. 回忆 B. 借口 C. 期盼 D. 证明 9. Why did Zhang take the photos? A. To try her new smartphone. B. To show her thanks to others. C. To become famous on the Internet. D. To show her talent for taking photos. 10. What can we learn about Zhang from the text? A. She always gets around by bus. B. She often fights with young people. C. It took her about half a year to take the “smiles”. D. People disagree with her taking photos. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Woman Taking Pictures B. Kindness Kept in Pictures C Pictures Popular on the Internet D. Offering Your Seats D ①It can be really awkward if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of benefits. ②You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing this quiet inner speech. It can help us in different areas like school, sports and work. ③When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. A 2009 study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group. ④Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. “Referring to yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others,” said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different point of view, especially when we’re feeling sad or angry. ⑤Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study published in the journal Memory. It’s because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if said out loud. 12. What might the underlined word “benefits” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Strange ideas. B. Healthy ways. C. Special needs. D. Good sides. 13. According to Paragraph 3, what can self-talking help to do? A. Find out who the best players are. B. Develop a player’s skills. C. Improve one’s confidence. D. Change a person’s character. 14. According to the last paragraph, reading out can ________. A. help listeners have long-term memory B. help one remember things longer C. help to memorize things very quickly D. make more people know the information 15. Which of the following shows how the passage goes? A. B. C. D. 第二节 补全短文（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Paper cuts can hurt a lot, even though they are very small!

He and his team found that paper about 65 micrometers (微米) cuts your finger more easily. ____17____ If it’s too thick (厚的), it won’t cut your finger because thick paper usually doesn’t have sharp edges (锋利的边缘).
