Many interesting slogans like “No cheating, just real rivalries” and “Game first, friendship fourteenth” show how intense the match is! Organized by the Jiangsu sports department and 13 city governments, the league encourages everyone to join and play for their city’s honor. It started on May 10 and will end on Nov 2. There are 516 players from 13 teams, including students, professional (专业的) players, and many amateurs (业余爱好者) aged 16 to 40. Matches mostly happen on weekends, with one round each week. Some cities offer freebies to attract visiting fans. For example, Changzhou gives free tickets to tourist spots and local snacks. Journalist Wu talked about why this league is different. He said that in China, people usually copy big leagues from other countries because they love the World Cup so much. But Jiangsu did something new. “Here, players are not famous stars getting paid a lot of money. They’re just common people you might know. The fans aren’t just strangers—they’re your family, friends, and neighbors. The soccer field isn’t just for professional players—it’s a place where everyone feels welcome,” Wu explained. “This league isn’t about being the best in the world. It’s about getting as many local people involved as possible. And that’s even better because it makes soccer a part of everyday life. Now, each city will have its own special soccer stories to remember.” 39. How long does the Jiangsu Football City League last? A. About 2 months. B. About 4 months. C. About 6 months. D. About 8 months. 40. What does the example of Changzhou show us? A. The matches in Changzhou are the most exciting. B. Cities are trying new ways to welcome fans. C. Changzhou has the most delicious snacks. D. All tourist spots in Changzhou are free now. 41. What makes the league special according to journalist Wu? A. It only has a lot of famous stars. B. It is only for the professional players. C. It is copied from other countries. D. It makes soccer a part of everyday life. B 42. You may need ________ to do this experiment.

The passage is most probably written for ________. A. teenagers B. teachers C. researchers D. parents C Lucy: Ah, good evening, you’ve come at last. Jack: Oh … er … good evening. Yeah … er … sorry to be late. Simon: But Jack … Lucy: Oh, Jack, you are naughty(淘气的). Keeping me waiting here for twenty years, and then trying to surprise me by coming in from the window. And your friend, I see, is as strong as you. Good evening. Jack's such a silly boy, still up to his tricks. Do take a chair. And we can all have a nice cup of tea. You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Simon: Oh … er … yeah. Er … thank you. Lucy: Lovely. Now, wait a minute. Jack, entertain your friend, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Simon: A right mess this is. Quick, back out of the window. Jack: No. Calm down. Can’t you see? It’s even easier. She thinks I’m her old boyfriend. She’s been waiting for him for twenty years. All I have to do is to ask her for the money and she’ll give it to me. She’s off her head. Simon: Do you think so? It’ll be as easy as that? Jack: Of course it will. Now shut up. She’s coming back. Simon: She didn’t even notice our masks. Jack: Oh, shut up. Lucy: Here we are. A nice cup of tea and, now, Jack, you haven’t introduced your friend. Jack: Oh, no. Sorry. Er … this is Simon. Yeah … “Simon.” Simon, this is … Lucy: Hello, Simon. So pleased to meet you. I’m Lucy. Simon: Oh, very pleased, I'm sure. Jack: Lucy, I wanted to talk to you about money. Lucy: Ah yes, Jack. I wasn’t going to mention it quite so soon, but that ten thousand pounds I lent you must have got quite a lot of interest by now, and times are rather hard. Now, drink your tea like a good boy and we’ll discuss how you can pay it back. Twenty years is a long time to wait, after all. Jack? Jack, what are you doing? Come back at once. Oh dear. He is a naughty boy. But I know he’ll come back. Always did. But I’m afraid his tea will be cold. Ah … 45. The two strong men came into Lucy’s house ________.

Its yellow tail does have brown fur at its base, but there is no sign of black fur on its tail. There has been a discussion about whether it is shi or si in the sentence. “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man…” Most people voted si as what they learned at school. However, People’s Education Press (PEP), a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks, claimed on Oct. 26 that all its textbooks say shi. Supporters of si feel shocked and say they’ve experienced the “Mandela Effect”—the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event happened when it didn’t. Many people believed that former South African president Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prison. However, Mandela was alive and well, finally passing away in 2013. US researcher Fiona Broome created a website to detail her discovery of this public phenomenon (现象), coining the term which has been in use till now. Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force. In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect, as reported on the US-based website Verywell Mind. For example, your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it, which is called confabulation (虚构症). However, try not to feel bad—this is not lying, but rather remembering details that never happened. The Internet may be another reason why we tend to have Mandela Effect events, as the news we read can be false from the beginning. In 2018, Science Journal published a study of over 100,000 news stories discussed across Twitter. It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth. As a powerful way to spread information, the Internet might be the main reason for falsehoods to enter our minds. 49. Why does the writer mention the discussion about the sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To solve a mystery of Mandela Effect. B. To raise readers’ interest in confabulation. C. To introduce the topic of the Mandela Effect. D. To discuss which word is the right one, si or shi. 50. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “coining” in Paragraph 4? A. creating B. borrowing C. describing D. correcting 51. What is the “Mandela Effect” about? A. Attitudes to a special event. B. A kind of psychological effect. C. The benefit of good memory. D. The effect of Mandela’s death. 52. What can we infer from the passage? A. Most people know the former South African president Mandela well. B. The word si or shi both existed in Chinese textbooks published by the PEP. C. If you can tell the right Pikachu, you will never suffer from the Mandela Effect. D. If you remember details that never happened, you may experience the Mandela Effect. E “If you don't behave, I'll call the police” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological(心理学的) study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it is connected with harmful effects when the children become adults. The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they respond(响应) adulthood challenges. The first questionnaire asked these young adults to recall if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are “If you don't come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself” and “I don’t bring money with me today, we can come back another day”. The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents as adults. Lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychosocial problems and tendency (趋势) to behave selfishly and impulsively(冲动地). Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges. Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that ‘honesty is the best policy’, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send negative (消极的) messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may finally erode trust and encourage dishonesty in children.” “Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of these possible risks and consider other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, ”said lead author Setoh Peipe. But the study has its limitations. Some limitations of the study include depending on what young adults report about their parents' lying. “Future research can explore using many informants(提供信息的人), such as parents, to report on the same thing.” suggested Setoh. 53. What did the research team do during the study? A. They turned to 379 Singaporean children. B. They looked for questionnaires on the Internet. C. They collected answers to some sets of questions. D. They asked the young adults parents for information. 54. What does the underlined word “erode” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 建立 B. 增进 C. 毁坏 D. 恢复 55. Which of the following might Setoh Peipei agree with? A. Parents can sometimes tell harmless lies to their kids. B. Parents had better explain to their kids why they’ve lied. C. Parents who like lying are more likely to behave selfishly. D. Parents should use positive ways instead of lying during parenting. 56. What is the main idea of the text? A. Parents' lying to children can influence them negatively. B. Parents lie to children to save themselves some trouble. C. Children's behavior can be affected by their parents. D. Children may lie more if their parents often lie. 四、还原句子 (共4小题：每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults the transition (过渡) into adulthood has begun.

Mr Smith looked at the rest of the students and said, “Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last chance.” Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. Mr Smith then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an “A” in this class. Keep believing yourself. I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most. The same is true of students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, whether from school education or from events in their lives, and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80 percent of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits. However, as long as (只要) you overcome (征服) your weakness and keep on trying, success will come to you in the end. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma, said, “We do not overcome the mountain, but ourselves.” 76. How many students left the classroom in all?

A. to making; to receive B. made; to receiving C. to make; to receive D. made; to receive 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：他把自己所有的时间都用来让孩子们能接受更好的教育。 考查动词短语及非谓语动词的用法。devote...to doing sth.把……投入到做某事中，其中to是介词，后接动名词形式，所以第一空应填to making；make it possible for sb. to do sth.使某人做某事成为可能，it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语，因此第二空应填to receive。故选A。 11. The Chinese language seems to be a bridge ________ China to the rest of the world. A. connected B. connects C. connecting D. is connected 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：汉语似乎是连接中国与世界其他地区的桥梁。 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词，此处用非谓语动词；根据“The Chinese language seems to be a bridge ... China to the rest of the world.”可知此处逻辑主语a bridge和动词connect之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语，表主动含义。故选C。 12. —Peter, you can’t imagine how much difficulty I had ________ the offer. —Congratulations! A. got B. get C. to get D. getting 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：—— 彼得，你无法想象我得到这份录取通知书有多么困难。—— 祝贺你！ 考查非谓语动词用法。“have difficulty (in) doing sth.”表示“做某事有困难”，是固定搭配，所以此处用动名词getting，故选D。 13. —What else should we pay attention to ________ our grades during the exam? —Thinking and writing more carefully. A. improving B. to improve C. improve D. improved 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——为了在考试期间提高我们成绩，我们还应该注意什么？——认真思考和书写。 考查非谓语动词。根据“What else should we pay attention to...our grades during the exam?”可知，此处表示为了在考试期间提高我们成绩，我们还应该注意什么，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故选B。 14. —China’s excellent culture is ________ treasure, as it helps us know where we are from and where we are going. —Yes. That’s why we should learn the history of our country. A. as good as B. as well as C. as much as D. as soon as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——中国的优秀文化就像财富一样好，因为它帮助我们知道我们从哪里来，我们要去哪里。——是的。那就是为什么我们应该学习我们国家的历史。 考查短语辨析。as good as和……一样好，good为形容词；as well as和……一样好，well为副词；as much as和……一样多；as soon as一……就。根据“China’s excellent culture is…treasure”可知，此处表示“文化和财富一样好”，is后接形容词，故选A。 15. —Can you tell me if he _______ all the problems in thirty minutes? —I’m afraid he can’t. If he ______ another five minutes, I think he will. A. will solve, will give B. solves, is given C. will solve, is given D. solves, will give 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我他是否能在三十分钟内解决所有的问题？——恐怕他不能。如果再给他五分钟，我想他会的。考查动词时态和语态辨析题。问句是if引导的宾语从句，in thirty minutes（在三十分钟内），用于一般将来时，可排除BD两项。答句是if条件句，需用一般现在时代替一般将来时，从句主语he是单数第三人称，还是动词give的受动者，需用被动语态，即“is+过去分词”结构。根据句意结构和语境，可知选C。 16. Beauty is everywhere. It’s our eyes that sometimes fail to truly ________ it. A. discover B. shape C. imagine D. express 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：美无处不在。有时我们的眼睛无法真正地发现它。 考查动词辨析。discover发现；shape塑造；imagine想象；express表达。根据“It’s our eyes that sometimes fail to truly...it.”可知，美无处不在，有时我们的眼睛无法真正地发现它，discover“发现”，常用于发现了本来就存在的东西，所以，discover符合题意。故选A。 17. —What’s the advantage of this kind of watch? —Family members can monitor the exact ______ of its user with its chip. A. standard B. position C. trust D. influence 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这种手表的优点是什么？——家庭成员可以用它的芯片监测使用者的确切位置。 考查名词辨析。standard标准；position位置；trust信任；influence影响。根据“Family members can monitor the exact...of its user with its chip.”可知，此处指的是监测使用者的确切位置，故选B。 18.

A. either; or B. neither; nor C. both; and D. not only; but also 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：今年冬天我们去昆明度假吧。那里既不太热也不太冷。 考查并列连词辨析。either ... or要么……要么……；neither ... nor既不……也不……；both ... and两者都；not only ... but also不仅……而且……。根据“It’s ... too hot ... too cold there.”可知，是指昆明既不太热也不太冷。故选B。 19. — The homework is much harder ________ I thought it would be.

A. than; if; Don’t worry B. as; whether; Don’t mention it C. like; that; No way D. than; when; Good idea 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——作业比我想的难很多。我不确定我是否能独立完成作业。——别着急。放学后我们可以一起做作业。 考查介词辨析、连词辨析和情景交际。Don’t worry别着急；Don’t mention it别提了；No way没门；Good idea好主意。根据“much harder...I thought”可知，第一空表示比较，用than“比”连接；根据“I’m not sure...I can finish it alone.”可知，本句是宾语从句，not sure后面通常接if或whether“是否”引导的宾语从句；根据“We can work on it together after school.”可知，后者在安慰前者，“别着急”符合语境。故选A。 20.

A. have; in order to B. to have; in order to C. have; so that D. to have; so that 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：越来越多的夫妇想要第二个孩子，这样他们的第一个孩子就不会那么孤独。 考查非谓语动词以及连词辨析。in order to为了，后应接动词原形；so that“以便，为了”，后跟目的状语从句。根据“prefer”可知 ，prefer to do“更喜欢做某事”，因此此处应用不定式作宾语；根据“their first child can feel less lonely”可知，空后为从句，因此应用so that。故选D。 21. —Could you tell me ________? —Sorry, I don’t know. You can ask the policeman over there. A. where was the zoo B. how can I get to the zoo C. which is the way to the zoo D. is there a zoo near here 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我去动物园的路怎么走吗？——对不起，我不知道。你可以问那边的警察。 考查宾语从句的语序。宾语从句要用陈述句语序，排除ABD选项；C选项中，which作主语，is是系动词，the way to the zoo为表语，符合宾语从句的语序规则。故选C。 22.

A. how we can achieve success quickly B. why it is important to kill the goose C. what people should do with such a talented goose D. how unwise it is to be interested in short-term benefits 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：成语“杀鸡取卵”告诉我们专注于短期利益是多么不明智。 考查常识和习语。how we can achieve success quickly我们如何快速取得成功；why it is important to kill the goose为什么杀死这只鹅重要；what people should do with such a talented goose人们应该如何处理这样一只有才华的鹅；how unwise it is to be interested in short-term benefits专注于短期利益是多么不明智。成语“杀鸡取卵”的意思是为了要得到鸡蛋，不惜把鸡杀了，告诉我们不要贪图眼前的好处而不顾长远利益。故选D。 25.

I can’t believe my ears C. You’re daydreaming D.

Come on, boy.”可知，此处表示这是老借口，并暗示对方在说谎，自己不会被骗了。故选D。 二、完形填空 (共12小题;每小题1分，满分12分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 The lessons in our life can make us learn more, and learn more quickly.

Many interesting slogans like “No cheating, just real rivalries” and “Game first, friendship fourteenth” show how intense the match is! Organized by the Jiangsu sports department and 13 city governments, the league encourages everyone to join and play for their city’s honor. It started on May 10 and will end on Nov 2. There are 516 players from 13 teams, including students, professional (专业的) players, and many amateurs (业余爱好者) aged 16 to 40. Matches mostly happen on weekends, with one round each week. Some cities offer freebies to attract visiting fans. For example, Changzhou gives free tickets to tourist spots and local snacks. Journalist Wu talked about why this league is different. He said that in China, people usually copy big leagues from other countries because they love the World Cup so much. But Jiangsu did something new. “Here, players are not famous stars getting paid a lot of money. They’re just common people you might know. The fans aren’t just strangers—they’re your family, friends, and neighbors. The soccer field isn’t just for professional players—it’s a place where everyone feels welcome,” Wu explained. “This league isn’t about being the best in the world. It’s about getting as many local people involved as possible. And that’s even better because it makes soccer a part of everyday life. Now, each city will have its own special soccer stories to remember.” 39. How long does the Jiangsu Football City League last? A. About 2 months. B. About 4 months. C. About 6 months. D. About 8 months. 40. What does the example of Changzhou show us? A. The matches in Changzhou are the most exciting. B. Cities are trying new ways to welcome fans. C.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了由江苏省体育局和13个市政府共同组织的江苏省足球城市联赛，以及这个联赛的特别之处。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Organized by the Jiangsu sports department and 13 city governments, the league encourages everyone to join and play for their city’s honor. It started on May 10 and will end on Nov 2.”可知，由江苏省体育局和13个市政府共同组织的联赛，鼓励每个人加入并为他们的城市的荣誉而战。它从5月10日开始，11月2日结束。由此可知，江苏省足球城市联赛从5月10日开始，11月2日结束，共持续6个月。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some cities offer freebies to attract visiting fans. For example, Changzhou gives free tickets to tourist spots and local snacks.”可知，一些城市提供免费赠品来吸引外地粉丝。例如，常州向外地粉丝免费发放景区门票和地方小吃。常州的例子向我们展示了城市正在尝试新的方式来欢迎球迷。故选B。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据“‘Here, players are not famous stars getting paid a lot of money. They’re just common people you might know. The fans aren’t just strangers—they’re your family, friends, and neighbors. The soccer field isn’t just for professional players — it’s a place where everyone feels welcome,’ Wu explained.”可知，“这里，球员不是拿着高薪的明星——他们就是你身边普普通通的熟人。球迷不只是陌生人——他们是你的家人、朋友和邻居。足球场不仅仅是为职业球员准备的——它是一个让每个人都感到受欢迎的地方。”吴解释说。根据“And that’s even better because it makes soccer a part of everyday life.”可知，这甚至更好，因为它使足球成为日常生活的一部分。由此可知，根据吴记者的报道，是足球成为日常生活的一部分让联赛变得特别。故选D。 B 42.

Simon: Oh, very pleased, I'm sure. Jack: Lucy, I wanted to talk to you about money. Lucy: Ah yes, Jack. I wasn’t going to mention it quite so soon, but that ten thousand pounds I lent you must have got quite a lot of interest by now, and times are rather hard. Now, drink your tea like a good boy and we’ll discuss how you can pay it back. Twenty years is a long time to wait, after all. Jack? Jack, what are you doing? Come back at once. Oh dear.

She's been waiting for him for twenty years. All I have to do is to ask her for the money and she'll give it to me.”可知Jack认为Lucy等了他二十年，因此划线句子表示“Lucy神志不清”。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一句话“Ah, good evening, you’ve come at last.”以及后续故事情节的展开，可知Lucy正在等待Jack的到来。故选B。 D Do you know full confidence in your memory? Look at the two pictures and choose the one which you think is correct. Then check with the answer. Answer: The one on the right is correct. Pikachu never had a black tail in any of its various versions. Its yellow tail does have brown fur at its base, but there is no sign of black fur on its tail. There has been a discussion about whether it is shi or si in the sentence. “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man…” Most people voted si as what they learned at school. However, People’s Education Press (PEP), a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks, claimed on Oct. 26 that all its textbooks say shi. Supporters of si feel shocked and say they’ve experienced the “Mandela Effect”—the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event happened when it didn’t. Many people believed that former South African president Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prison. However, Mandela was alive and well, finally passing away in 2013. US researcher Fiona Broome created a website to detail her discovery of this public phenomenon (现象), coining the term which has been in use till now. Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force. In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect, as reported on the US-based website Verywell Mind. For example your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it, which is called confabulation (虚构症). However, try not to feel bad—this is not lying, but rather remembering details that never happened. The Internet may be another reason why we tend to have Mandela Effect events, as the news we read can be false from the beginning. In 2018, Science Journal published a study of over 100,000 news stories discussed across Twitter. It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth. As a powerful way to spread information, the Internet might be the main reason for falsehoods to enter our minds. 49. Why does the writer mention the discussion about the sentence in Paragraph 2? A. To solve a mystery of Mandela Effect. B. To raise readers’ interest in confabulation. C. To introduce the topic of the Mandela Effect. D. To discuss which word is the right one, si or shi. 50. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “coining” in Paragraph 4? A. creating B. borrowing C. describing D. correcting 51. What is the “Mandela Effect” about? A. Attitudes to a special event. B. A kind of psychological effect. C. The benefit of good memory. D. The effect of Mandela’s death. 52. What can we infer from the passage? A. Most people know the former South African president Mandela well. B. The word si or shi both existed in Chinese textbooks published by the PEP. C. If you can tell the right Pikachu, you will never suffer from the Mandela Effect. D. If you remember details that never happened, you may experience the Mandela Effect. 【答案】49. C 50. A 51. B 52.

However, Mandela was alive and well, finally passing away in 2013.”可知许多人认为前南非总统纳尔逊·曼德拉于20世纪80年代死于监狱，但事实上他于2013年去世；再根据“In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect”可知，心理学家已经研究了“曼德拉效应”的原因；由此推知“曼德拉效应”是一种心理效应。故选B。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据“For example, your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it, which is called confabulation (虚构症). However, try not to feel bad—this is not lying, but rather remembering details that never happened.（例如，你的大脑可能会填补你记忆中的空白，以使它更有意义，这被称为虚构症。然而，试着不要感觉糟糕——这不是撒谎，而是记住从未发生过的细节。）”可推知如果你记得从未发生过的细节，你可能会体验到“曼德拉效应”。故选D。 E “If you don't behave, I'll call the police” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological(心理学的) study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it is connected with harmful effects when the children become adults. The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they respond(响应) adulthood challenges. The first questionnaire asked these young adults to recall if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are “If you don't come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself” and “I don’t bring money with me today, we can come back another day”. The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents as adults. Lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychosocial problems and tendency (趋势) to behave selfishly and impulsively(冲动地). Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report lying to their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges. Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore's School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that ‘honesty is the best policy’, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send negative (消极的) messages to their children. Parents' dishonesty may finally erode trust and encourage dishonesty in children.” “Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of these possible risks and consider other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, ”said lead author Setoh Peipe. But the study has its limitations. Some limitations of the study include depending on what young adults report about their parents' lying. “Future research can explore using many informants(提供信息的人), such as parents, to report on the same thing.” suggested Setoh. 53. What did the research team do during the study? A. They turned to 379 Singaporean children. B. They looked for questionnaires on the Internet. C. They collected answers to some sets of questions. D. They asked the young adults parents for information. 54. What does the underlined word “erode” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. 建立 B. 增进 C. 毁坏 D. 恢复 55. Which of the following might Setoh Peipei agree with? A. Parents can sometimes tell harmless lies to their kids. B. Parents had better explain to their kids why they’ve lied. C. Parents who like lying are more likely to behave selfishly. D. Parents should use positive ways instead of lying during parenting. 56. What is the main idea of the text? A. Parents' lying to children can influence them negatively. B. Parents lie to children to save themselves some trouble. C. Children's behavior can be affected by their parents. D. Children may lie more if their parents often lie. 【答案】53. C 54. C 55. D 56.

Mr Smith looked at the rest of the students and said, “Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last chance.” Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. Mr Smith then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an “A” in this class. Keep believing yourself. I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most. The same is true of students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, whether from school education or from events in their lives, and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80 percent of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now and you realize that you have some limits. However, as long as (只要) you overcome (征服) your weakness and keep on trying, success will come to you in the end.
