Maggie, Travis and Lucy’s science teacher set a special test for them. They had to work out different kinds of problems within limited time to get out of a locked room.
For the past hour, Maggie, Travis and Lucy had been locked inside a room decorated like a mad scientist’s laboratory. Together they decoded (破译) a secret language and solved a difficult maths problem. The last challenge, however, stopped them. The key to the door was trapped in a block of ice.
“We have to melt (融化) the ice ,” Lucy said.
“But there’s nothing hot here!” Maggie complained.
Travis pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped (裹) it around the ice. “This keeps me warm,” he reasoned.
A few minutes passed by, but the ice didn’t melt.
“Isn’t cloth an insulator (隔热材料)?” Lucy asked. She tried to remember what she had learned in science class. “Heat always flows from warm objects to cold ones. The heat in the air will finally melt the ice, but we need to find something that will help heat move from the air to the ice more quickly.”
“What about glass?” Maggie asked.
“Glass is also an insulator. It keeps heat from moving,” Lucy said. Then she noticed a large metal tray (金属托盘) across the room. “This might work!”
Lucy put the block of ice onto the tray. Everybody’s eyes moved between the clock and the ice. Would they be able to free the key in time?
At last the key lay in the water on the tray. The three friends rushed out of the room in the last minute.
“We made it!” Travis cheered. “Good thing you learned in science class!”
24. What’s the last challenge in the special test?
A. Decorating the laboratory. B. Taking out the key trapped in the ice.
C. Solving a maths problem. D. Learning a secret language.
25. Why did Travis pull off his sweatshirt?
A. He thought his sweatshirt could help melt the ice.
B. He felt’ so hot that he took the sweatshirt off.
C. He wanted to leave the sweatshirt in the room.
D. He disliked his sweatshirt.
26. What did the three friends learn from the test?
A. The meaning of saving time. B. The ways of finding keys to the door.
C. The value of knowledge learned in class. D. The importance of solving maths problems.
C
Being Authoritative (权威的) Parents
Phrases like “tiger mom” and “helicopter parent” have made their way into everyday language.
Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort, we might turn out children with bright futures. But is there anything wrong with a kind of “overparenting style”?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied. Many of the studies, carried out by Diana Baumrind, a famous psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way, who sets high expectations but gives her child independence. These “authoritative parents” appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically, psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved, or controlling and more involved. Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children. Carol Dweck, a social psychologist at Stanford University, has done research that shows why authoritative parents raise more motivated children. In a typical experiment, Dr. Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle. Most do so with little difficulty. But then Dr. Dweck tells some, but not all, of the kids how clever they are. As it turns out, the children who are not told they’re smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles. They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests, praising children’s talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence. Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one’s status as “smart”. Dr. Dweck’s work strongly supports that of Dr. Baumrind, who also found that reasonably supporting a child’s independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic (学术的) and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident. If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can’t walk, you reduce her confidence. Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is easier when they are young. The potential mistakes carry greater risks, and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.
27. According to the passage, a “tiger mom” ______.
A. helps her children realize their dreams
B. pays close attention to her children’s experiences
C. places reasonable expectations on her children
D. speaks her children’s everyday language
28. The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests that ______.
A. a good game plays a big role in training young minds
B. bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
C. puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D. overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
29. The last paragraph tells us that ______.
A. children should not be given much freedom
B. parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C. children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents
D. parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
D
Close your eyes. Try to bring back a memory of taking an exam in your worst subject with your strictest teacher. Probably you remember looking at the paper, feeling you didn’t know any of the answers. Your heart was beating fast...Not surprisingly, you think of that experience as all bad, a long-lasting discomfort.
But maybe it didn’t have to be that way. A paper in Nature reports that a one-time online mindset exercise(思维模式训练)improved the way young people thought about stressful events and their uncomfortable responses(反应). The exercise is based on two mindsets: first, ability is not fixed but can be improved with effort and support; second, body responses to stress can be helpful. As students work through the exercise themselves, they read information about how the brain builds on experience and how the body uses stress——a fast-beating heart sends more blood to the brain to help you think. The exercise also suggests ways to succeed in stressful situations, and it asks students to write about what they might do differently next time.
Researchers invited thousands of high school and college students to take the exercise. The findings show that this exercise appears to be able to change our understanding of the world around us and our responses to it. Compared with those who didn’t take the exercise, students who took part thought about stress differently, turning it into a way of energizing the motivation(激活动力)to achieve a goal. What’s more, the exercise changed their body responses for the better, preparing the body to respond to events as a challenge rather than a threat(威胁).
“Difficulty and struggle are your friends,” says Christopher Bryan, a social psychologist and one of the researchers. “Those experiences don’t feel good in the moment, but it’s the path anyone who became truly excellent at anything had to travel.”
The exercise could be put into further use. It could be specially made for athletes or office workers in the future. Once it has been fully tested, the exercise could be ready for use in high schools and colleges nationwide.
The researchers don’t just want young people to rethink about stress; they want adults to rethink about young people. “Our studies suggest that we might not teach young people that they are too weak to get over difficulties but that we might, instead, provide them with resources and guidance so that young people can show their skills and creativity in dealing with big problems,” they write in the paper.
30. According to Paragraph 2, the mindset exercise may help you ________.
A. forget about your stressful moments
B. find ways to slow down your heartbeat
C. record what you have been through before
D. understand how the brain builds on experience
31. What can we learn about the exercise?
A. It is now helping teenagers nationwide.
B. It is especially helpful to office workers.
C. It aims to help teenagers get better grades.
D. It can change students’ responses to events.
32. The writer would probably agree that ________.
A. difficulties are part of growth for young people
B. motivation plays the key role in achieving a goal
C. teenagers are too weak to get through difficulties
D. adults should show their skills and creativity first
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To question the influence of stress.
B. To explain the importance of stress.
C. To introduce a way to look at stress.
D. To compare two mindsets about stress.
四、任务型阅读 (34-36每题2分,37题4分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
With just a boat, a paddle(桨)and a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in a kayak.
Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing(划独木舟), but there are some differences. Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end.
Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean.
The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation-a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak—it can be folded into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved.
Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues(关节和组织)than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try?
34. Do kayakers sit on the floor or on a bench of the boat while kayaking?
__________________________________________________
35. Why is whitewater kayaking much more exciting?
__________________________________________________
36. What is special about the new type of kayak?
__________________________________________________
37. Do you think kayaking will become popular in China? Why or why not? (Give at least 2 reasons)

Maggie, Travis and Lucy’s science teacher set a special test for them. They had to work out different kinds of problems within limited time to get out of a locked room.
For the past hour, Maggie, Travis and Lucy had been locked inside a room decorated like a mad scientist’s laboratory. Together they decoded (破译) a secret language and solved a difficult maths problem. The last challenge, however, stopped them. The key to the door was trapped in a block of ice.
“We have to melt (融化) the ice ,” Lucy said.
“But there’s nothing hot here!” Maggie complained.
Travis pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped (裹) it around the ice. “This keeps me warm,” he reasoned.
A few minutes passed by, but the ice didn’t melt.
“Isn’t cloth an insulator (隔热材料)?” Lucy asked. She tried to remember what she had learned in science class. “Heat always flows from warm objects to cold ones. The heat in the air will finally melt the ice, but we need to find something that will help heat move from the air to the ice more quickly.”
“What about glass?” Maggie asked.
“Glass is also an insulator. It keeps heat from moving,” Lucy said. Then she noticed a large metal tray (金属托盘) across the room. “This might work!”
Lucy put the block of ice onto the tray. Everybody’s eyes moved between the clock and the ice. Would they be able to free the key in time?
At last, the key lay in the water on the tray. The three friends rushed out of the room in the last minute.
“We made it!” Travis cheered. “Good thing you learned in science class!”
24. What’s the last challenge in the special test?
A. Decorating the laboratory. B. Taking out the key trapped in the ice.
C. Solving a maths problem. D. Learning a secret language.
25. Why did Travis pull off his sweatshirt?
A. He thought his sweatshirt could help melt the ice.
B. He felt’ so hot that he took the sweatshirt off.
C. He wanted to leave the sweatshirt in the room.
D. He disliked his sweatshirt.
26. What did the three friends learn from the test?
A. The meaning of saving time. B. The ways of finding keys to the door.
C. The value of knowledge learned in class. D. The importance of solving maths problems.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C

Being Authoritative (权威的) Parents
Phrases like “tiger mom” and “helicopter parent” have made their way into everyday language.
Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort, we might turn out children with bright futures. But is there anything wrong with a kind of “overparenting style”?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied. Many of the studies, carried out by Diana Baumrind, a famous psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way, who sets high expectations but gives her child independence. These “authoritative parents” appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically, psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved, or controlling and more involved. Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children. Carol Dweck, a social psychologist at Stanford University, has done research that shows why authoritative parents raise more motivated children. In a typical experiment, Dr. Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle. Most do so with little difficulty. But then Dr. Dweck tells some, but not all, of the kids how clever they are. As it turns out, the children who are not told they’re smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles. They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests, praising children’s talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence. Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one’s status as “smart”. Dr. Dweck’s work strongly supports that of Dr. Baumrind, who also found that reasonably supporting a child’s independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic (学术的) and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident. If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can’t walk, you reduce her confidence. Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is easier when they are young. The potential mistakes carry greater risks, and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.
27. According to the passage, a “tiger mom” ______.
A. helps her children realize their dreams
B. pays close attention to her children’s experiences
C. places reasonable expectations on her children
D. speaks her children’s everyday language
28. The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests that ______.
A. a good game plays a big role in training young minds
B. bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
C. puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D. overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
29. The last paragraph tells us that ______.
A. children should not be given much freedom
B. parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C. children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents
D. parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了“权威型父母”的教育方式及其对孩子成长的积极影响,并通过心理学实验论证了过度表扬和干预的弊端。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“...have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way, who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.”可知,优秀的父母善于参与孩子的成长,以积极的态度回应孩子;他们会对孩子抱有较高期望,但同时也会给予孩子自主空间。由此可知“虎妈”密切关注孩子们的经历。故选B。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据“As it turns out, the children who are not told they’re smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles...As the experiment suggests, praising children’s talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence...found that reasonably supporting a child’s independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic (学术的) and emotional results.”可知,未被表扬“聪明”的孩子更有动力解决难题,而过度表扬会削弱孩子的信心和动力。故选D。
【29题详解】
段落大意题。根据最后一段“Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is easier when they are young. The potential mistakes carry greater risks, and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.”可知,允许孩子犯错,是为人父母面临的最大挑战之一。孩子年幼时,这件事尚且容易做到;随着孩子长大,他们可能犯下的错误会伴随更高的风险,而为人父母的责任之一,就是为孩子降低这些风险。所以本段告诉了我们“家长应该允许孩子在错误中学习成长”。故选D。
D
Close your eyes. Try to bring back a memory of taking an exam in your worst subject with your strictest teacher. Probably you remember looking at the paper feeling you didn’t know any of the answers. Your heart was beating fast...Not surprisingly, you think of that experience as all bad, a long-lasting discomfort.
But maybe it didn’t have to be that way. A paper in Nature reports that a one-time online mindset exercise(思维模式训练)improved the way young people thought about stressful events and their uncomfortable responses(反应). The exercise is based on two mindsets: first, ability is not fixed but can be improved with effort and support; second, body responses to stress can be helpful. As students work through the exercise themselves, they read information about how the brain builds on experience and how the body uses stress——a fast-beating heart sends more blood to the brain to help you think. The exercise also suggests ways to succeed in stressful situations, and it asks students to write about what they might do differently next time.
Researchers invited thousands of high school and college students to take the exercise. The findings show that this exercise appears to be able to change our understanding of the world around us and our responses to it. Compared with those who didn’t take the exercise, students who took part thought about stress differently, turning it into a way of energizing the motivation(激活动力)to achieve a goal. What’s more, the exercise changed their body responses for the better, preparing the body to respond to events as a challenge rather than a threat(威胁).
“Difficulty and struggle are your friends,” says Christopher Bryan, a social psychologist and one of the researchers. “Those experiences don’t feel good in the moment, but it’s the path anyone who became truly excellent at anything had to travel.”
The exercise could be put into further use. It could be specially made for athletes or office workers in the future. Once it has been fully tested, the exercise could be ready for use in high schools and colleges nationwide.
The researchers don’t just want young people to rethink about stress; they want adults to rethink about young people. “Our studies suggest that we might not teach young people that they are too weak to get over difficulties, but that we might, instead, provide them with resources and guidance so that young people can show their skills and creativity in dealing with big problems,” they write in the paper.
30. According to Paragraph 2, the mindset exercise may help you ________.
A. forget about your stressful moments
B. find ways to slow down your heartbeat
C. record what you have been through before
D. understand how the brain builds on experience
31. What can we learn about the exercise?
A. It is now helping teenagers nationwide.
B. It is especially helpful to office workers.
C. It aims to help teenagers get better grades.
D. It can change students’ responses to events.
32. The writer would probably agree that ________.
A. difficulties are part of growth for young people
B. motivation plays the key role in achieving a goal
C. teenagers are too weak to get through difficulties
D. adults should show their skills and creativity first
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To question the influence of stress.
B. To explain the importance of stress.
C. To introduce a way to look at stress.
D. To compare two mindsets about stress.
【答案】30. D 31. D 32. A 33. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种看待压力的方法。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“As students work through the exercise themselves, they read information about how the brain builds on experience and how the body uses stress——a fast-beating heart sends more blood to the brain to help you think”可知,当学生们自己做练习的时候,他们会读到关于大脑是如何建立在经验的基础上,以及身体如何利用压力的信息——快速跳动的心脏会向大脑输送更多的血液来帮助你思考。故可知,心态练习可以帮助你理解大脑是如何建立在经验之上的。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The findings show that this exercise appears to be able to change our understanding of the world around us and our responses to it”和“What’s more, the exercise changed their body responses for the better, preparing the body to respond to events as a challenge rather than a threat(威胁)”可知,这种练习似乎能够改变我们对周围世界的理解和我们对它的反应,并且这项运动使他们的身体反应变得更好,让身体做好应对挑战而不是威胁的准备。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“‘Difficulty and struggle are your friends,’...‘Those experiences don’t feel good in the moment, but it’s the path anyone who became truly excellent at anything had to travel.’”可知,困难和奋斗是你的朋友并且这些经历在当时感觉并不好,但这是任何真正在任何领域变得优秀的人必须走过的道路,故可推测出,作者赞成困难是年轻人成长的一部分。故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了一种看待压力的方法。故选C。
四、任务型阅读 (34-36每题2分,37题4分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
With just a boat, a paddle(桨)and a bit of water, you can experience fun and exercise in a kayak.
Kayaking is a kind of paddling sport, and people often mistake it for canoeing(划独木舟), but there are some differences. Kayakers sit on the floor of the boat while canoeists sit on a bench. Also, kayak paddles have a wide flat part on either end, but canoe paddles have them on only one end.
Within kayaking, there are a few styles that need different levels of skill and fitness. Anyone can enjoy relaxing kayaking, most often paddling on a lake or perhaps a gentle river. Whitewater kayaking is much more exciting because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls. Surf kayakers must be both strong-willed and talented as they ride waves on the open ocean.
The difficulty involved with kayaking is transportation-a boat several meters long is not exactly easy to carry around. However, a man who had to leave his kayak behind when moving to a smaller apartment borrowed the idea of Japanese paper folding, and made a new type of special kayak—it can be folded into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car. In this way, the problem was perfectly solved.
Kayaking can offer sightseeing opportunities and a good way to exercise certain parts of the body. Paddling is helpful for strengthening the upper body and it requires continuing turning of your main body, giving it some great exercise. Another advantage is that these movements are gentler on the body’s joints and tissues(关节和组织)than running. Kayaking doesn’t just improve the health of the body, though—it also has been shown to make you less stressed as well. With so many benefits, why not head to the closest water and give it a try?
34. Do kayakers sit on the floor or on a bench of the boat while kayaking?
__________________________________________________
35. Why is whitewater kayaking much more exciting?
__________________________________________________
36. What is special about the new type of kayak?
__________________________________________________
37. Do you think kayaking will become popular in China? Why or why not? (Give at least 2 reasons)

【答案】34. (They/Kayakers sit) on the floor (of the boat).
35. Because boats travel down fast rivers and even over small waterfalls.
36. It can be folded into a very thin pack (allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car.)
37. Yes. (I think kayaking will become popular in China.) Because in many parts of China, there are a lot of rivers and lakes, it’s easy to paddle on a lake or a gentle river. Besides, kayaking is a good way to enjoy the beautiful view and work out at the same time, and people will love it.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了皮划艇这种划水运动。

【36题详解】
根据“...and made a new type of special kayak-it can be folded into a very thin pack, allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car.”可知,新型的特殊皮划艇可以折叠成一个非常薄的包,让皮划艇可以很容易地放在车里。故填It can be folded into a very thin pack (allowing the kayak to easily fit in a car.)
【37题详解】
开放性问题,言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes. (I think kayaking will become popular in China.) Because in many parts of China, there are a lot of rivers and lakes, it’s easy to paddle on a lake or a gentle river. Besides, kayaking is a good way to enjoy the beautiful view and work out at the same time, and people will love it.

【答案】Dear Clara,
I’m very glad to know that you take great interest in traditional Chinese culture. Now let me tell you something about my favorite Chinese festival.
My favorite festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. It is one of the most important festivals in China. On that day, family members usually have an activity. They get together to celebrate this festival. They usually have mooncakes, a kind of traditional food. After that, they always enjoy the bright full moon and share mooncakes with their families. Mooncakes are in the shape of a full moon. They carry people’s wishes to the families whom they love and miss. In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a special day of pleasure and happiness. The true spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival is reunion, and that’s why I like it.
Hope you can come to China in the near future to experience this colorful and meaningful festival
