A few suggestions are listed as follows. SLEEP FOR MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS! Make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Don’t believe that you can always “catch some sleep or rest later.” Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible. SET STRICT FAMILY TIME! Resolve (决意) to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it’s work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays? I can’t work today because I’m spending time with my family.” GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you can’t afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you. It’s always a good idea if you have crackers (薄脆饼) on your drawer to ease the hunger pain. CONFINE WORK! Resolve to confine work in your office. Don’t bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong. Practice working only within your working hours. If you have an eight-to-five working schedule, stick to it. WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn’t going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it’s even more important that you get some exercise. MAKE A PLAN! Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. It’s much easier to work on something and finish it first and then move on to the next rather than do a number of things all at the same time and never finish or accomplish anything at the end of the day. Make out a list of priorities (优先权). Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list. After you’ve done this, be guided by this list. Turning this activity into a habit will also help you manage your time better, be more organized, and accomplish more. 51. The passage is intended for ________. A. those who are hardworking B. those who keep themselves healthy and alive C. those who consider work the center of their life D. those who live a busy, successful and happy life 52. According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned as a practical tip for a workaholic? A. Don’t have your behinds stuck on your chairs. B. Make sure of time available for your family. C. Make up for lost sleep whenever possible. D. Don’t be food-skippers. 53. The underlined word “confine” in paragraph 5 possibly means ________. A. improve B. start C. practice D. restrict 54. By making a plan, the author means ________. A. finishing a number of things at once B. working on only one or two things each day C. organizing your time and finishing urgent things first D. accomplishing as much work as possible at any given moment 55. If there were one more tip, it could be ________. A. LIVE TO WORK B. WORK TO LIVE C. MAKE WORK YOURLIFE D. STOPTO ENJOY WORKING B One day, I was sitting in a local coffee shop, and staring at this man in a wheelchair. He could move his head and parts of his fingers but nothing else. He had a servant who cut up his food and placed it on a special mechanically powered fork that he would use to eat. He saw me staring at him and invited me to join him at his table. His name was Stephen. For several hours we sat at that table and we got to know each other on a deeply personal level. I had never known a man who was more radiant (容光焕发), more energizing to talk and get to know than Stephen. Stephen used to be a very successful businessman in Denver. He was in the natural gas business. Thirteen years before, when he was forty, he was waiting for news of a natural gas discovery to occur any moment. He said, “I had so much nervous energy. I saw the storm clouds gathering, and I decided to clean out the gutters (檐沟) rather than sitting around waiting for this gas well to come in.” He climbed up the ladder to clear the piles of pine needles on the roof. As he backed up, he accidentally fell off the roof. He landed on his back. He was paralyzed (瘫痪) for the rest of his life, except for his head and his hand. I asked him, “How do you do it all? How do you suddenly stop hiking, fishing, and running marathons?” He said, “There are three things you have to do when something like this happens. The first thing you have to do is adjust. The second thing you do is adjust. And the third thing you do is adjust.” He said, “By adjusting to your abilities, Bill, you have to change your self-expectations. If you can’t be a physical athlete any longer, then perhaps you can be a spiritual athlete.” He was. 56. The author noticed Stephen at the coffee shop because ______. A. he ate in a special way B. he cut up his food C. he was staring at the author D. he looked very energetic 57. What was Stephen’s occupation before his accident? A. He was a coffee shop owner. B. He was in the natural gas business. C. He was a professional athlete. D. He was a servant for the disabled. 58. What caused Stephen’s accident? A. He was waiting for news of a natural gas discovery. B. He was cleaning out the gutters and fell off the ladder. C. He was hiking and slipped on a mountain trail. D. He was running a marathon and collapsed. 59. “A spiritual athlete” Stephen mentioned in the last paragraph might be _____. A. humorous and sensitive B. sympathetic and caring C. faithful and easygoing D. optimistic and open-minded 60. What advice did Stephen give about dealing with a major life change like his? A. One should give up all hope and accept the new situation. B. One should find a completely new hobby immediately. C. One should adjust to the new abilities and change self-expectations. D. One should try to go back to the old way of life as soon as possible. C People often wonder why some entrepreneurs have greater success than others. Is it habits, connections, luck, work ethic or any other behavior? I believe the key to success is willpower. Willpower is the ability to control yourself. It is a strong determination that allows you to do something difficult. It is a behavior we are born with more than one we learn; however, it is possible to not only learn it, but also strengthen it with constant exercise. Willpower is just like a muscle, to keep it strong you need to constantly exercise it. People with a great amount of willpower have the discipline to develop positive, successful habits. Even with an incredible amount of talent, without the discipline and motivation to create positive habits, it can be difficult to achieve success. Willpower and habits go hand in hand. It is critical to create good habits and take the actions necessary to stick to those habits day in and day out for greater success. Almost half of our daily actions are part of our habits and not decisions, so once the correct habits are in place, you will automatically perform those tasks on a day-to-day basis. The best way to create and stick to a habit is to have strong motivation. It’s easier to change your habits to lose weight if you have a health issue and you want to be around longer for your kids, or if your business is something you’re passionate about. Having a valuable outcome associated with a habit will help you stick to that habit permanently. The art of self-control is one that most successful individuals have mastered. Self-control enables you to avoid behaviors that don’t contribute to your success and adopt those that do. Because there is a delayed satisfaction associated with self-control, it can be easy to get off track. However if you work on sticking to those small positive habits one day at a time, it becomes easier to stay strong and achieve that delayed reward. Once a reward is achieved, it is much easier to continue sticking to your habits. 61. What does the author say we need to do to strengthen our willpower? A. Keep it under control. B. Apply it continuously. C. Learn from entrepreneurs. D. Aim at success determinedly. 62. How are almost half of our daily actions performed according to the passage? A. Out of habit. B. With determination. C. Like muscle building. D. By self-discipline 63. What will help people stick to doing something constructive automatically? A. Practising it on a day-to-day basis. B. Associating it with improving health. C. Possessing a reasonable amount of talent. D. Foreseeing the desired outcome it will produce. 64. How does the art of self-control help us succeed? A. By allowing us to remain clear-headed permanently. B. By enabling us to alter our behaviors constantly. C. By enabling us to take positive actions. D. By allowing us to avoid taking risks. 65. Why can it be difficult for us to maintain self-control? A. Most of us are not in the habit of exercising self-control. B. We may not get immediate rewards from self-control. C. Self-control tends to be associated with pains. D. Self-control only brings about small benefits. D Human beings tend to follow the pack. Why is that? Dr. Gregory Berns tried to answer the question in an experiment. Berns gathered some people for a test. The test was simple-to mentally rotate (转动) some 3-D shapes and compare them to see whether they were the same or different. First the volunteers wrote down their answers privately. But then they had to give the next series of answers out loud for everyone to hear. But this test came with a surprise. One of the participants, Jocelyn, had the answers in her hand. Everyone else had been told to follow her lead, except for Tony. He was being set up to see whether he would follow the pack. When the group gave the right answer, Tony agreed. And when everyone gave the wrong answer, Tony still agreed. Tony wasn’t alone. Berns put seven other unsuspecting test subjects on the hot seat. Barbara, for example, got 70 percent on the written test, but her score fell to 30 percent when she listened to others’ answers. David and Graham, unlike the others, gave the right answers, even when the group didn’t. Berns wanted to see what was happening in the brain during his experiment. Using an fMRI, Berns found that, during the moment of decision, his subjects’ brains lit up not in the area where thinking takes place, but in the back of the brain, where vision is interpreted. Essentially, their brains were misinterpreting messages -people actually believed what others told them they were seeing, not what they saw with their own eyes. And for those who went against the group, there was another interesting result: Their brains lit up in a place called the amygdala, which Berns calls “the fear center of the brain.” “And what we are seeing here, we think, is the fear of standing alone,” Berns said. So why do people follow the pack no matter how ridiculous (荒唐的) it seems? Perhaps it’s not so much about right and wrong. It might be that our brain gets confused between what it sees and what others tell us. Just knowing that might help us guard against it. 66. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The result of the experiment. B. How the experiment was conducted. C. Why Dr. Gregory conducted the experiment. D. The science behind why people follow the pack. 67. What do we know about Tony after he listened to the majority? A. He ignored the truth. B. His test scores improved. C. He realized his mistakes. D. His teamwork spirit was inspired. 68. What led to Barbara’s behavior in the experiment? A. A part of her brain that controls fear was activated. B. A part of her brain that controls vision got confused. C. A part of her brain that controls thinking shut down. D. A part of her brain that controls language got mixed up. 69. What might be David and Graham’s worry according to Berns? A. Copying others’ behaviors. B. Giving the wrong answers. C. Failing to fit in with the group. D. Misunderstanding the rules. 70. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Should We Stand by Our Own Beliefs? B. Why Is It Hard to Tell Right from Wrong? C. Why Is It Wise to Take Advice? D. Why Do People Follow the Crowd? 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共35分) 第一部分：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Do you think cookies can tell stories? Jasmine Cho, 35, does. A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies. It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”. Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?” One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s. “It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout (核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.” Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor. Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively. “Instead of trying to think of something new and original just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.” 71. What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture?(No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 72. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? (No more than 3 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 73. Why does Cho think cookies are a useful tool to promote Asian-American culture? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 74. What is the author’s dream about her cookies art? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 75. How are you inspired by the story? Put it in your own words.

Forced D. Forcing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：由于火山爆发，村民们被迫离开家园，他们看起来非常焦虑。句子已有谓语动词looked，空处应填非谓语动词，且the villagers与force之间是被动关系，所以应用过去分词形式作原因状语。故选C项。 18.

A. should practice B. must have practiced C. might practice D. could have practiced 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词用法辨析。句意：宇航员们出色地完成了他们的任务。他们一定为了他们的职责进行了刻苦训练。A. should practice应该练习；B. must have practiced一定进行了练习(对过去事情的肯定推测)；C. might practice可能练习(表示可能性较小的推测)；D. could have practiced本可以练习(表示过去有能力做某事却没做)。根据“The astronauts performed their tasks so excellent”可推知，宇航员们出色完成任务，背后肯定是经过了刻苦训练的，这是对过去发生事情的肯定推测。所以用“must have practiced”符合语境。故选B项。 19.

I’m sorry but I ______ a meeting with my colleagues when you called me yesterday afternoon. A. am having B. was having C. have had D. would have 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：很抱歉，昨天下午你打电话给我时，我正在和同事开会。根据时间状语“when you called me yesterday afternoon”可知，此处描述的是过去某个时间点正在发生的事情，应用过去进行时。故选B。 25.

A few suggestions are listed as follows. SLEEP FOR MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS! Make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Don’t believe that you can always “catch some sleep or rest later.” Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible. SET STRICT FAMILY TIME! Resolve (决意) to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it’s work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays? I can’t work today because I’m spending time with my family.” GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you can’t afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you. It’s always a good idea if you have crackers (薄脆饼) on your drawer to ease the hunger pain. CONFINE WORK! Resolve to confine work in your office. Don’t bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong. Practice working only within your working hours. If you have an eight-to-five working schedule, stick to it. WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn’t going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it’s even more important that you get some exercise. MAKE A PLAN! Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. It’s much easier to work on something and finish it first and then move on to the next rather than do a number of things all at the same time and never finish or accomplish anything at the end of the day. Make out a list of priorities (优先权). Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list. After you’ve done this, be guided by this list. Turning this activity into a habit will also help you manage your time better, be more organized, and accomplish more. 51. The passage is intended for ________.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了针对工作狂提出一些改善健康和生活平衡的建议，使其重新聚焦并从生活中获取最佳状态。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When it comes to the health problem, how can you, the workaholic (工作狂), refocus and get the best out of life?(当谈到健康问题时，你，一个工作狂，怎样才能重新集中精力，从生活中得到最好的回报呢？)”可知，文章是写给那些把工作视为生活中心的人（工作狂）的。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Don’t believe that you can always “catch some sleep or rest later.” Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible.(不要相信你总是可以‘稍后再睡或休息’。你的身体无法弥补失去的睡眠或休息时间，因为这在生理上是不可能的)”可知，失去的睡眠是无法弥补的，C选项“尽可能弥补失去的睡眠”不是文中给工作狂提出的实用建议。故选C。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Resolve to confine work in your office. Don’t bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong.(决心把工作confine在办公室里。不要把工作带回家！把那些文件放在它们该在的办公桌里)”可知，不要把工作带回家，应该是限制在办公室完成，confine意为“限制”。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. Make out a list of priorities (优先权). Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list.(计划你的一天。一次只做一两件事。列出优先事项清单。写下需要立即处理或紧急的事情，把最不重要的事情放在清单的最后)”可知，作者说的制定计划指的是安排好你的时间，首先完成紧急的事情。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要针对工作狂给出了一些建议，目的是让工作狂在努力工作的同时也能享受生活，所以如果还有一条建议，可能是“WORK TOLIVE(为生活而工作)”。故选B。 B One day, I was sitting in a local coffee shop, and staring at this man in a wheelchair. He could move his head and parts of his fingers but nothing else. He had a servant who cut up his food and placed it on a special mechanically powered fork that he would use to eat. He saw me staring at him and invited me to join him at his table. His name was Stephen. For several hours we sat at that table and we got to know each other on a deeply personal level. I had never known a man who was more radiant (容光焕发), more energizing to talk and get to know than Stephen. Stephen used to be a very successful businessman in Denver. He was in the natural gas business. Thirteen years before, when he was forty, he was waiting for news of a natural gas discovery to occur any moment. He said, “I had so much nervous energy. I saw the storm clouds gathering, and I decided to clean out the gutters (檐沟) rather than sitting around waiting for this gas well to come in.” He climbed up the ladder to clear the piles of pine needles on the roof. As he backed up, he accidentally fell off the roof. He landed on his back. He was paralyzed (瘫痪) for the rest of his life, except for his head and his hand. I asked him, “How do you do it all? How do you suddenly stop hiking, fishing, and running marathons?” He said, “There are three things you have to do when something like this happens. The first thing you have to do is adjust. The second thing you do is adjust. And the third thing you do is adjust.” He said, “By adjusting to your abilities, Bill, you have to change your self-expectations. If you can’t be a physical athlete any longer, then perhaps you can be a spiritual athlete.” He was. 56. The author noticed Stephen at the coffee shop because ______.

One should give up all hope and accept the new situation. B. One should find a completely new hobby immediately. C. One should adjust to the new abilities and change self-expectations. D. One should try to go back to the old way of life as soon as possible. 【答案】56. A 57. B 58. B 59. D 60. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在咖啡店认识了瘫痪的Stephen，了解到他的经历及面对困境时的生活态度。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He could move his head and parts of his fingers but nothing else. He had a servant who cut up his food and placed it on a special mechanically powered fork that he would use to eat.(他只能移动头部和部分手指，其他部位都动不了。他有一个仆人会把食物切碎，放在一个特制的机械动力叉子上，他就用这个叉子吃饭)”可知，作者注意到Stephen是因为他吃饭的方式很特别。故选A。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Stephen used to be a very successful businessman in Denver.

The second thing you do is adjust. And the third thing you do is adjust.(你要做的第一件事是调整。第二件事是调整。第三件事还是调整)”及最后一段中“By adjusting to your abilities, Bill, you have to change your self-expectations.(Bill，通过适应你的能力，你必须改变你的自我期望)”可知，Stephen对于应对重大生活变故的建议是调整以适应新能力并改变自我期望。故选C。 C People often wonder why some entrepreneurs have greater success than others. Is it habits, connections, luck, work ethic or any other behavior? I believe the key to success is willpower. Willpower is the ability to control yourself. It is a strong determination that allows you to do something difficult. It is a behavior we are born with more than one we learn; however, it is possible to not only learn it, but also strengthen it with constant exercise. Willpower is just like a muscle, to keep it strong you need to constantly exercise it. People with a great amount of willpower have the discipline to develop positive, successful habits. Even with an incredible amount of talent, without the discipline and motivation to create positive habits, it can be difficult to achieve success. Willpower and habits go hand in hand. It is critical to create good habits and take the actions necessary to stick to those habits day in and day out for greater success. Almost half of our daily actions are part of our habits and not decisions, so once the correct habits are in place, you will automatically perform those tasks on a day-to-day basis. The best way to create and stick to a habit is to have strong motivation. It’s easier to change your habits to lose weight if you have a health issue and you want to be around longer for your kids, or if your business is something you’re passionate about. Having a valuable outcome associated with a habit will help you stick to that habit permanently. The art of self-control is one that most successful individuals have mastered. Self-control enables you to avoid behaviors that don’t contribute to your success and adopt those that do. Because there is a delayed satisfaction associated with self-control, it can be easy to get off track. However if you work on sticking to those small positive habits one day at a time, it becomes easier to stay strong and achieve that delayed reward. Once a reward is achieved, it is much easier to continue sticking to your habits. 61. What does the author say we need to do to strengthen our willpower? A. Keep it under control. B. Apply it continuously. C. Learn from entrepreneurs. D. Aim at success determinedly. 62. How are almost half of our daily actions performed according to the passage? A. Out of habit. B. With determination. C. Like muscle building. D. By self-discipline 63. What will help people stick to doing something constructive automatically? A. Practising it on a day-to-day basis. B. Associating it with improving health. C. Possessing a reasonable amount of talent. D. Foreseeing the desired outcome it will produce. 64. How does the art of self-control help us succeed? A. By allowing us to remain clear-headed permanently. B. By enabling us to alter our behaviors constantly. C. By enabling us to take positive actions. D. By allowing us to avoid taking risks. 65. Why can it be difficult for us to maintain self-control? A. Most of us are not in the habit of exercising self-control. B. We may not get immediate rewards from self-control. C. Self-control tends to be associated with pains. D. Self-control only brings about small benefits. 【答案】61. B 62. A 63. D 64. C 65. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了意志力是成功的关键，它与习惯相辅相成，以及如何通过锻炼和培养习惯来增强意志力。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is a strong determination that allows you to do something difficult. It is a behavior we are born with more than one we learn; however, it is possible to not only learn it, but also strengthen it with constant exercise.(坚强的决心能让你完成困难的事情。这是一种与生俱来的行为，而不是后天习得的；然而，不仅可以学习它，还可以通过不断的锻炼来加强它)”可知，要增强意志力需要不断锻炼运用它。故选B。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Almost half of our daily actions are part of our habits and not decisions, so once the correct habits are in place, you will automatically perform those tasks on a day-to-day basis.(我们几乎一半的日常行为是我们习惯的一部分，而不是我们的决定，所以一旦有了正确的习惯，你就会自动地在日常的基础上执行这些任务)”可知，我们几乎一半的日常行为是出于习惯。故选A。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Having a valuable outcome associated with a habit will help you stick to that habit permanently.(将习惯与有价值的结果联系起来，会帮助你永久地坚持这个习惯)”可知，预见有建设性的事情所能带来的理想结果，会帮助人们自动坚持去做。故选D。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第五段中“Self-control enables you to avoid behaviors that don’t contribute to your success and adopt those that do.(自我控制能让你避免那些无助于成功的行为，并采取有助于成功的行为)”可知，自我控制通过让我们采取积极行动来帮助我们成功。故选C。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第五段中“Because there is a delayed satisfaction associated with self-control, it can be easy to get off track.(因为自我控制伴随着延迟的满足感，所以很容易偏离轨道)”可知，维持自我控制之所以困难，是因为我们可能无法从自我控制中获得即时回报。故选B。 D Human beings tend to follow the pack. Why is that? Dr. Gregory Berns tried to answer the question in an experiment. Berns gathered some people for a test. The test was simple-to mentally rotate (转动) some 3-D shapes and compare them to see whether they were the same or different. First, the volunteers wrote down their answers privately. But then they had to give the next series of answers out loud for everyone to hear. But this test came with a surprise. One of the participants, Jocelyn, had the answers in her hand. Everyone else had been told to follow her lead, except for Tony. He was being set up to see whether he would follow the pack. When the group gave the right answer, Tony agreed. And when everyone gave the wrong answer, Tony still agreed. Tony wasn’t alone. Berns put seven other unsuspecting test subjects on the hot seat. Barbara, for example, got 70 percent on the written test, but her score fell to 30 percent when she listened to others’ answers. David and Graham, unlike the others, gave the right answers, even when the group didn’t. Berns wanted to see what was happening in the brain during his experiment. Using an fMRI, Berns found that, during the moment of decision, his subjects’ brains lit up not in the area where thinking takes place, but in the back of the brain, where vision is interpreted. Essentially, their brains were misinterpreting messages -people actually believed what others told them they were seeing, not what they saw with their own eyes. And for those who went against the group, there was another interesting result: Their brains lit up in a place called the amygdala, which Berns calls “the fear center of the brain.” “And what we are seeing here, we think, is the fear of standing alone,” Berns said. So why do people follow the pack no matter how ridiculous (荒唐的) it seems? Perhaps it’s not so much about right and wrong. It might be that our brain gets confused between what it sees and what others tell us. Just knowing that might help us guard against it. 66 What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The result of the experiment. B. How the experiment was conducted. C. Why Dr. Gregory conducted the experiment. D. The science behind why people follow the pack. 67. What do we know about Tony after he listened to the majority? A. He ignored the truth. B. His test scores improved. C. He realized his mistakes. D. His teamwork spirit was inspired. 68. What led to Barbara’s behavior in the experiment? A. A part of her brain that controls fear was activated. B. A part of her brain that controls vision got confused. C. A part of her brain that controls thinking shut down. D. A part of her brain that controls language got mixed up. 69. What might be David and Graham’s worry according to Berns? A. Copying others’ behaviors. B. Giving the wrong answers. C. Failing to fit in with the group. D. Misunderstanding the rules. 70. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Should We Stand by Our Own Beliefs? B. Why Is It Hard to Tell Right from Wrong? C. Why Is It Wise to Take Advice? D. Why Do People Follow the Crowd? 【答案】66. B 67. A 68. B 69. C 70. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是人类为何倾向于随大流（follow the pack）的现象，并通过一项实验揭示了其背后的心理和神经科学机制。 【66题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The test was simple-to mentally rotate (转动) some 3-D shapes and compare them to see whether they were the same or different. First, the volunteers wrote down their answers privately. But then they had to give the next series of answers out loud for everyone to hear.(这项测试很简单——要求受试者在脑海中旋转一些三维图形，并将它们进行对比，判断它们是相同还是不同。首先，志愿者们私下写下自己的答案。但接下来，他们必须大声说出下一组答案，让所有人都能听到。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是实验是如何进行的。故选B。 【67题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He was being set up to see whether he would follow the pack. When the group gave the right answer, Tony agreed. And when everyone gave the wrong answer, Tony still agreed.(托尼则是被安排来观察他是否会随大流。当小组给出正确答案时，托尼表示同意。而当所有人都给出错误答案时，托尼仍然表示同意。)”可知，Tony无视真相。故选A。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“Using an fMRI, Berns found that, during the moment of decision, his subjects’ brains lit up not in the area where thinking takes place, but in the back of the brain, where vision is interpreted. Essentially, their brains were misinterpreting messages—people actually believed what others told them they were seeing, not what they saw with their own eyes.(通过使用功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）技术，伯恩斯发现，在做出决定的那一刻，受试者大脑中亮起的区域并非负责思考的区域，而是大脑后部负责视觉解读的区域。本质上，他们的大脑在误解信息——人们实际上相信的是别人告诉他们所看到的东西，而非他们亲眼所见。)”可知，大脑中控制视觉的部分混乱了导致了芭芭拉在实验中的行为。故选B。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Their brains lit up in a place called the amygdala, which Berns calls “the fear center of the brain.” “And what we are seeing here, we think, is the fear of standing alone,” Berns said.(他们大脑中一个名为杏仁核的区域亮了起来，伯恩斯称其为“大脑的恐惧中心”。伯恩斯说：“我们认为，这里所展现的是对独立的恐惧。”)”可知，在伯恩斯看来，大卫和格雷厄姆担心的是不能融入团队。故选C。 【70题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Human beings tend to follow the pack. Why is that? Dr. Gregory Berns tried to answer the question in an experiment.(人类总是随波逐流。为什么呢？格雷戈里·伯恩斯博士试图在一个实验中回答这个问题。)”可知，本文主要讲的是人类为何倾向于随大流（follow the pack）的现象，并通过一项实验揭示了其背后的心理和神经科学机制，因此本文最好的题目是D选项“Why Do People Follow the Crowd?(为什么人们会随大流？)”。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共35分) 第一部分：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Do you think cookies can tell stories? Jasmine Cho, 35, does. A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies. It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”. Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian, American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?” One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s. “It’s insane the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout (核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this,” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.” Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor. Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively. “Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have,” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.” 71. What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture?(No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 72. What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? (No more than 3 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 73. Why does Cho think cookies are a useful tool to promote Asian-American culture? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 74. What is the author’s dream about her cookies art? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 75. How are you inspired by the story? Put it in your own words. (No more than 25words) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】71. An/One elective course she took at college. 72. Express/Convey/Communicate. 73. Because she thinks cookies are liked by many people. Or: Because she thinks everyone likes cookies. Because she thinks nobody dislikes cookies. 74. To inspire people to be creative and think positively. 75. I will look inward to discover my passion or love and make full use of what I have to make a better world. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jasmine Cho用烘焙技术制作饼干，设计饼干肖像，促进亚裔美国文化。 【71题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her.(大学里的一门课程——讲述亚裔美国移民经历的课程——让她经历了一次情感上的触动)”可知，在大学选修的一门课程促使Cho对亚裔美国人文化产生了兴趣。故答案为An/One elective course she took at college. 【72题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“So many emotions came up”以及后文““It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said. (“那种情绪就像混合着愤怒、解脱、力量感和悲伤……”Cho说道。)”可知，情绪太多无法用言语来表达/传达/交流。故划线词意思是“用言语来表达/传达/交流”。故答案为Express/Convey/Communicate. 【73题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段““Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies?”(Cho说，“饼干实在是太有吸引力了。谁不喜欢饼干呢？”)”可知，Cho认为饼干是推广亚裔美国人文化的有效手段是因为她认为很多人喜欢饼干。或者：因为她认为每个人都喜欢饼干。因为她认为没有人不喜欢饼干。故答案为Because she thinks cookies are liked by many people. Or: Because she thinks everyone likes cookies. Because she thinks nobody dislikes cookies. 【74题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively.(Cho希望她的饼干艺术能够继续激励人们发挥创造力，保持积极的心态)”可知，作者希望她的饼干艺术作品可以激发人们发挥创造力并保持积极的心态。故答案为To inspire people to be creative and think positively. 【75题详解】 考查开放题。根据“你从这个故事中获得了怎样的启发？请用你自己的话来表达。”可回答：我会从内心探寻自己的热情或热爱，并充分利用我所拥有的去创造一个更美好的世界。故答案为I will look inward to discover my passion or love and make full use of what I have to make a better world. 第二部分：书面表达(满分25分) 76. 假如你是李津，最近你班举行了一场关于“一生是否只专注于一件事”的讨论。请你根据下表所提供的信息，用英语给某中学生英语报的编辑写一封信，在信中告诉他（她）如下内容：(1)讨论的结果；(2)陈述你的观点；(3)列举1-2两个例子支撑你的观点。 40%同学认为 60%同学认为 我不能理解为什么一些人一生只做一件事。我知道这种行为需要时间和努力去做，但是我宁愿尽可能多的尝试不同的事情。我不想我老的时候后悔。 我尊敬那些把一生都献给做一件事的人。他们不仅掌握了技术，而且他们还掌握了他们的生活。我希望我也能投入到一件事中，有一天成为大师。 注意：(1)词数不少于 100；(2)可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；(3)开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear editor, I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we held on whether we should devote whole lives to one thing _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear editor, I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we held on whether we should devote whole lives to one thing. 40% of my classmates express that they can’t understand why some people spend their whole life doing just one thing, while 60% admire those people who devote their whole lives to one thing. I whole-heartedly admire those who dedicate their entire lives to a single pursuit. First of all, devoting oneself to one thing can lead to unparalleled expertise and mastery. When a person focuses all their energy and efforts on a particular field, they have the opportunity to explore every aspect, which will allow them to accumulate a vast amount of knowledge and skills. For instance, take the great scientist Yuan Longping for example. He dedicated his whole life to the research of hybrid rice. Through countless experiments and efforts, he not only solved the food problem for a large number of people in China but also made significant contributions to global food security. Secondly, a lifelong commitment to one thing can bring a sense of fulfillment and purpose. When people are passionate about a particular cause or activity, working on it for a lifetime gives them a clear direction in life. A good example is the famous painter Vincent van Gogh. Although he faced many hardships and setbacks in his life and didn’t gain much recognition during his lifetime, he never gave up his love for painting. His dedication to painting gave his life meaning, and today, his works are celebrated around the world, inspiring countless people. In conclusion, I believe that devoting one’s whole life to one thing is a noble and admirable choice. It can lead to great achievements and a deeply fulfilling life. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一封信，向报社编辑介绍班级举行的一场关于“一生是否只专注于一件事”的讨论的结果，陈述自己的观点，并用例子支撑观点。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 敬佩：admire → respect 整个的：whole → entire 奉献：commitment → dedication/devotion 显著的：significant → remarkable 激励：inspire → motivate 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：For instance, take the great scientist Yuan Longping for example.
