When my teenaged son became seriously ill, terrible times for my family began. Our once-happy home became tense and depressed. My husband and I were exhausted under the great stress of caring for my son. It was as if we forgot how to communicate-we couldn’t have a simple conversation without a fighting. Our marriage was on the point of breaking up.
One evening, my son and I were talking about gifts. I recalled my first Valentine’s present from my husband, a kazoo. I was awkward when I received it because I couldn’t get it to make a sound although I am a professional saxophone player. However hard I tried, it just never worked. The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten. But my son was interested and insisted on seeing it. After some trouble, I found it.
“You couldn’t get a sound? What’s so hard about it?” my husband asked, amazed. He took the kazoo and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again. Still there was no sound. Frustrated, he tried again, only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee trapped in the mouth of a bear. We burst into laughter. My son took a turn to play the kazoo. He did no better than us, causing more laughing.
Seeing his face light up, we felt as if the darkness had lifted and a ray of sunshine was let in. It was the best ten minutes of the past couple of years. The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening. It didn’t solve anything. But this experience with the kazoo brought some change in our hearts that always reminds us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy, and that we can still connect as a family.
4. What affected the relationship of the couple?
A. Quarrels between the couple over marriage.
B. Different values they shared towards everything.
C. Stress and chaos arising from their son’s serious illness.
D. Lack of money needed for their son’s medical treatment.
5. Why did the husband blow the kazoo personally?
A. He had a love for playing the kazoo. B. He meant to make his son delighted.
C. He wanted to ease a feeling of depression. D. He didn’t think it that hard to play the kazoo.
6. What is the turning point of the story?
A. My failure to get the kazoo to make a sound.
B. The involvement of my husband in playing the kazoo.
C My memory about the Valentine’s present from my husband.
D. The failed but funny playing of the kazoo by my husband and son.
7. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Parents are the best teachers.
C. Music can cure the hurt souls. D. Misfortunes test the true love.
C
Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are forbidden in some 90 cities in California including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people think.
One of the bag makers’ arguments is that many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, more energy is often needed to make longer-lasting reusable bags. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don’t dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
8. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A. Help increase sales in the shop. B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.
9. What does the underlined word “headwinds” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees.
10. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A. They are quite expensive. B. Replacing them can be difficult.
C. They are less strong than plastic bags. D. Producing them requires more energy.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither. B. Industry, Pollution and the Environment.
C. Recycle or Throw Away. D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control.
The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
12. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
13. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between .
A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
14. What does the author suggest readers do?
A. Absorb new information readily. B. Be selective information consumers.
C. Use diverse information sources. D. Protect the information environment.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Later, the Better D. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。请将答案涂在答题卡上。
There is evidence to suggest that chronic boredom (慢性乏味) is becoming more common. _____16_____. In a paper published last year, researchers found that the percentage of self-described bored students in China and the US rose steadily after 2010, the first decade of smartphone dominance.
Why might digital media have this effect? Research has shown that we often check our phones to escape boredom, but it actually makes us feel even more bored. One study, for instance, found that people who were bored at work were more likely to use their smartphones. _____17_____.
Checking your phone may only address part of what you need when you start to feel bored. Digital devices are very good at attracting your attention, but much of what we do online doesn’t feel meaningful. The average American spends more than four hours a day on their smartphone and more than seven hours a day in total online. ______18______.
Phones quickly offer simple distractions, which cut our boredom short and stop us from thinking about important questions like “Why am I feeling this?” or “What do I lack?”.
_____19_____. When boredom strikes, we should resist the urge to relieve it instantly and instead ask ourselves: are we in search of entertainment or something more purposeful, an opportunity to connect with friends or something new? People who choose to embrace boredom may experience less of it. _____20_____—one that is meaningful, creative, and free.
A. And they ended up feeling even more bored
B. It could even be the first step to a more interesting life
C We often reach for our phones during moments of quiet
D. If we take a moment to think, we might make better choices
E. This adds up to 17 years of an adult’s life spent browsing the Internet
F. Interestingly, this rise has been accompanied by the rise of smartphones
G. Although it’s a common experience, boredom is frequently misunderstood

第一节 任务型阅读(满分20分)
阅读下面的短文,请根据各部分要求作答。
On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job. I hadn’t seen it coming. I was excited for the weekend, when my daughter, Kristil, then 12, and I planned to get our Christmas tree. Then I listened to my voicemail. “We’re sorry, madame, but your work assignment has ended as of today.” My heart sank.
My paycheck was what our survival relied on. I did everything I could to give Kristil a good life, but there were some things my love couldn’t fix. The next day as we searched for our tree, I struggled to be cheerful as I eyed the Christmas tree prices. Kristil noticed I was worried and I told her I had lost my job. She wanted to give me the $100 that Grandma gave her, but I turned her down.
Monday morning, I dropped Kristil at school and set off on my money-making pursuits. I headed to the pawnshop (当铺) with a gold ring my mother had given me, and they gave me $70.Next was the antique store. I sold six Precious Moments statuettes for $150. I ended the day $220 richer.
Over the next week, I furiously(猛烈地) applied for jobs as my bank account grew smaller. I felt as if the world was closing in on me. On a weekend afternoon, I dropped Kristil in a wealthy gated community for a birthday party. I drove home defeated.
Back at home, I glanced out the window. It had been snowing all morning. I noticed a small woman struggling to open her car door against the wind. As she got out, I realized it was my old professor, Sister Esther. I hadn’t seen her since we’d met for lunch three months ago. I’d first met Sister Esther 10 years earlier, when I was her student at Edgewood College. After I graduated, Sister Esther kept in touch, meeting me for lunch every few months. I had grown to love her like family. I rushed to the front of my building. “What are you doing out in this weather?” I asked as we hugged.
Sister Esther said she called my office and knew I wasn’t working there anymore, so she came to see me. Upon arriving, she told me urgently, “Hearing the news that you were fired from the work, I felt greatly worried.” While saying, she handed me a Christmas card and an unexpected gift.

When my teenaged son became seriously ill, terrible times for my family began. Our once-happy home became tense and depressed. My husband and I were exhausted under the great stress of caring for my son. It was as if we forgot how to communicate-we couldn’t have a simple conversation without a fighting. Our marriage was on the point of breaking up.
One evening, my son and I were talking about gifts. I recalled my first Valentine’s present from my husband, a kazoo. I was awkward when I received it because I couldn’t get it to make a sound although I am a professional saxophone player. However hard I tried, it just never worked. The kazoo eventually got packed away and forgotten. But my son was interested and insisted on seeing it. After some trouble, I found it.
“You couldn’t get a sound? What’s so hard about it?” my husband asked, amazed. He took the kazoo and blew. Nothing happened. Surprised, he tried again. Still there was no sound. Frustrated, he tried again, only to produce a funny sound like an angry bumblebee trapped in the mouth of a bear. We burst into laughter. My son took a turn to play the kazoo. He did no better than us, causing more laughing.
Seeing his face light up, we felt as if the darkness had lifted and a ray of sunshine was let in. It was the best ten minutes of the past couple of years. The mood stayed light for the rest of the evening. It didn’t solve anything. But this experience with the kazoo brought some change in our hearts that always reminds us that there are still things to laugh at and enjoy, and that we can still connect as a family.

Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are forbidden in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people think.
One of the bag makers’ arguments is that many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, more energy is often needed to make longer-lasting reusable bags. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don’t dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
8. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A. Help increase sales in the shop. B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.
9. What does the underlined word “headwinds” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees.
10. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A. They are quite expensive. B. Replacing them can be difficult.
C. They are less strong than plastic bags. D. Producing them requires more energy.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither. B. Industry, Pollution and the Environment.
C. Recycle or Throw Away. D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了塑料袋、纸袋和可重复使用袋子的优缺点,以及相关行业和环保人士对此的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.(更有趣的是,Stein的工作之一是为塑料购物袋背后的行业辩护。)”可知,Steven Stein被雇来为塑料袋的使用进行辩护。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are forbidden in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles.(太多塑料袋最终要么挂在树枝上,要么散落在高速公路旁,以至于越来越多的城市不允许在收银台使用它们。在包括洛杉矶在内的加州约90个城市,这种塑料袋是被禁止的。)”和下文“plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people think.(生产塑料袋的制造商正在雇佣像Stein这样的科学家来证明他们的产品对地球的危害并不像大多数人想的那样大。)”可知,上文提到 “越来越多的城市禁止使用塑料袋”,下文提到“塑料袋厂商雇佣科学家辩护”,由此可知,headwinds是厂商面临的“阻力”。由此可以推断出划线单词指的是“对塑料袋的禁令”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“However, more energy is often needed to make longer-lasting reusable bags.(然而,生产更耐用的可重复使用袋子往往需要更多的能量。)”可知,生产可重复使用的袋子需要更多的能量。故选D。
【11题详解】

The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.
12. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test?
A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers.
C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes.
13. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between .
A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs
C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit
14. What does the author suggest readers do?
A. Absorb new information readily. B. Be selective information consumers.
C. Use diverse information sources. D. Protect the information environment.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans
C. The Later, the Better D. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对棉花糖测试,信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat.(每个孩子都被告知,如果他们在吃之前等待15分钟,他们将得到第二次奖励)”可知, 在测试中,孩子们需要在吃之前等待15分钟才能得到第二次奖励。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. (但是,当我们重塑了我们周围的世界,大大减少了获取卡路里的成本和努力时,我们的大脑仍然和几千年前一样,这种不匹配是我们这么多人努力抵抗我们知道不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因)”可知,丰富的食物供应和我们不曾改变的大脑之间存在不匹配。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(因此,就像我们需要更仔细地考虑我们的热量消耗一样,我们也需要更仔细地考虑我们的信息消耗,抵制精神“垃圾食品”的诱惑, 以便最有效地管理我们的时间)”可知,作者建议读者做选择性信息消费者。故选 B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We‘re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.(作为成年人,我们每天都要面对棉花糖测试。诱惑我们的不是甜食,而是我们的电脑、手机和平板电脑——所有这些将我们与全球信息传递系统连接起来的设备,它们对我们的作用就像棉花糖对学龄前儿童的作用一样)”结合文章主要内容可知,文章主语介绍了在信息化时代我们作为成年人每天都在面对棉花糖测试,信息轰炸让我们摄入了太多精神“垃圾食品”。 D选项“成人棉花糖测试”最符合文章标题。故选D。

There is evidence to suggest that chronic boredom (慢性乏味) is becoming more common. _____16_____. In a paper published last year, researchers found that the percentage of self-described bored students in China and the US rose steadily after 2010, the first decade of smartphone dominance.
Why might digital media have this effect? Research has shown that we often check our phones to escape boredom, but it actually makes us feel even more bored. One study, for instance, found that people who were bored at work were more likely to use their smartphones. _____17_____.
Checking your phone may only address part of what you need when you start to feel bored. Digital devices are very good at attracting your attention, but much of what we do online doesn’t feel meaningful. The average American spends more than four hours a day on their smartphone and more than seven hours a day in total online. ______18______.
Phones quickly offer simple distractions, which cut our boredom short and stop us from thinking about important questions like “Why am I feeling this?” or “What do I lack?”.
_____19_____. When boredom strikes, we should resist the urge to relieve it instantly and instead ask ourselves: are we in search of entertainment or something more purposeful, an opportunity to connect with friends or something new? People who choose to embrace boredom may experience less of it. _____20_____—one that is meaningful, creative, and free.
A. And they ended up feeling even more bored
B. It could even be the first step to a more interesting life
C. We often reach for our phones during moments of quiet
D. If we take a moment to think, we might make better choices
E. This adds up to 17 years of an adult’s life spent browsing the Internet
F. Interestingly, this rise has been accompanied by the rise of smartphones
G. Although it’s a common experience, boredom is frequently misunderstood

第一节 任务型阅读(满分20分)
阅读下面的短文,请根据各部分要求作答。
On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job. I hadn’t seen it coming. I was excited for the weekend, when my daughter, Kristil, then 12, and I planned to get our Christmas tree. Then I listened to my voicemail. “We’re sorry, madame, but your work assignment has ended as of today.” My heart sank.
My paycheck was what our survival relied on. I did everything I could to give Kristil a good life, but there were some things my love couldn’t fix. The next day as we searched for our tree, I struggled to be cheerful as I eyed the Christmas tree prices. Kristil noticed I was worried and I told her I had lost my job. She wanted to give me the $100 that Grandma gave her, but I turned her down.
Monday morning, I dropped Kristil at school and set off on my money-making pursuits. I headed to the pawnshop (当铺) with a gold ring my mother had given me, and they gave me $70.Next was the antique store. I sold six Precious Moments statuettes for $150. I ended the day $220 richer.
Over the next week, I furiously(猛烈地) applied for jobs as my bank account grew smaller. I felt as if the world was closing in on me. On a weekend afternoon, I dropped Kristil in a wealthy gated community for a birthday party. I drove home defeated.
Back at home, I glanced out the window. It had been snowing all morning. I noticed a small woman struggling to open her car door against the wind. As she got out, I realized it was my old professor, Sister Esther. I hadn’t seen her since we’d met for lunch three months ago. I’d first met Sister Esther 10 years earlier, when I was her student at Edgewood College. After I graduated, Sister Esther kept in touch, meeting me for lunch every few months. I had grown to love her like family. I rushed to the front of my building. “What are you doing out in this weather?” I asked as we hugged.
Sister Esther said she called my office and knew I wasn’t working there anymore, so she came to see me. Upon arriving, she told me urgently, “Hearing the news that you were fired from the work, I felt greatly worried.” While saying, she handed me a Christmas card and an unexpected gift.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在圣诞节前两周意外失业,失去经济来源后努力谋生,在求职过程中陷入困境,感到沮丧绝望,此时作者的老教授Sister Esther得知消息后前来探望并送上圣诞卡和礼物,给作者带来温暖和希望的故事。
【56题详解】
考查谓语时态。句意:圣诞节快到了,我被告知失业了。 根据第一段“On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job.( 12月的一个周五晚上,也就是圣诞节前两周,我丢了工作。)”可知,在圣诞节来临时作者被通知失业了。根据句意“接近”可知,此处为动词approach,结合“was”和语境可知,使用过去进行时,已有be动词was,空处需填现在分词approaching。故填approaching。
【57题详解】
考查谓语的语态。句意:圣诞节快到了,我被告知失业了。根据第一段“On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job.( 12月的一个周五晚上,也就是圣诞节前两周,我丢了工作。)”可知,作者被通知失业了。根据句意“通知”可知,此处为动词inform,I和inform为被动关系,需用被动语态。故填informed。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我感到震惊,对这种变化毫无准备。根据第一段“I hadn’t seen it coming.(我没料到会这样。)”可知,作者对于这个(失业的)消息完全没有做好准备,根据句意“无准备的”可知,此处为形容词unprepared,作表语。故填unprepared。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:当我们挑选圣诞树的时候,我的女儿克丽丝蒂尔感觉到有些不对劲,我告诉了她真相。根据第二段“Kristil noticed I was worried and I told her I had lost my job. She wanted to give me the $100 that Grandma gave her, but I refused.(克丽丝蒂尔注意到我很担心,我告诉她我丢了工作。她想把奶奶给她的100美元给我,但我拒绝了。)”可知,作者将(失业的)事实告诉了女儿,当她提出把奶奶给她的100美元给作者时,作者拒绝了。根据句意“真相”可知,此处为名词truth,作宾语。故填truth。
【60题详解】

【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:我努力想在圣诞节时保持一个好心情,但只表达了我的焦虑。根据第二段“The next day as we searched for our tree, I struggled to be cheerful as I eyed the Christmas tree prices. Kristil noticed I was worried and I told her I had lost my job. (第二天我们去找圣诞树的时候,看到圣诞树的价格,我很难高兴起来。克丽丝蒂尔注意到我很担心,我告诉她我丢了工作。)”和第三段“Monday morning, I dropped Kristil at school and set off on my money-making pursuits. (周一早上,我把克丽丝蒂尔送到学校,开始了我的赚钱追求。)”可知,作者因为失业而陷入快速赚钱的焦虑中,根据句意“焦虑”可知,此处为名词anxiety,作宾语。故填anxiety。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:为了缓解经济压力,我采取了一些措施。 根据第三段“I headed to the pawnshop with a gold ring my mother had given me, and they gave me $70. Next was the antiques store. I sold six Precious Moments statuettes for $150. I ended the day $220 richer.(我带着妈妈给我的金戒指去了当铺,他们给了我70美元。接下来是古董店。我以150美元的价格卖出了6个珍贵时刻雕像。那天我多赚了220美元。)”可知,为了赚钱,作者采取了一些措施;根据句意“措施”可知,此处为名词measure,作宾语,some后跟可数名词时,用复数。故填measures。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:我急切地想重新就业,但现实使我失望。 根据第四段“Over the next week, I furiously applied for jobs as my bank account grew smaller.(在接下来的一个星期里,我急切地申请工作,因为我的银行账户越来越少。)”可知,作者特别希望找到一份工作,根据句意“急切地,渴望地”可知,此处为副词eagerly,作状语修饰动词wanted。故填eagerly。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我急切地想重新就业,但现实使我失望。根据第四段“ I drove home defeated.(我败兴而归。)”可知,现实让作者非常失望,根据句意“失望”可知,此处为形容词disappointed作宾补。故填disappointed。
【65题详解】
考查谓语时态。句意:我没有料到她会来,兴高采烈地冲出去迎接她。根据倒数第二段“ I rushed to the front of my building. “What are you doing out in this weather?” I asked as we hugged.(我冲到楼前。“这种天气你在外面干什么?”我们拥抱时我问道。)”可知,作者没有预料到大学教授来看他,根据句意“预期”可知,此处为动词expect,应填过去分词与hadn’t构成过去完成时的否定形式。故填expected。
【66题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“ I headed to the pawnshop with a gold ring my mother had given me, and they gave me $70. Next was the antiques store. I sold six Precious Moments statuettes for $150. I ended the day $220 richer.(我带着妈妈给我的金戒指去了当铺,他们给了我70美元。接下来是古董店。我以150美元的价格卖出了6个珍贵时刻雕像。那天我多赚了220美元。)”和第四段“Over the next week, I furiously applied for jobs as my bank account grew smaller. (在接下来的一个星期里,我急切地申请工作,因为我的银行账户越来越少。)”可知,为了环节经济压力,作者去当铺和古董店卖掉了她的金戒指和6个小雕像来换取金钱。此外,她还疯狂地申请工作。故答案为The author went to the pawnshop and antiques store to sell her gold ring and six statuettes in exchange for money. Besides, she furiously applied for jobs.
【67题详解】
考查逻辑推理。根据最后一段“Sister Esther said she called my office and knew I wasn’t working there anymore, so she came to see me. Upon arriving, she told me urgently, “Hearing the news that you were fired from the work, I felt greatly worried.” While saying, she handed me a Christmas card and an unexpected gift. (埃丝特修女说她给我办公室打过电话知道我不在那里工作了,所以她来找我。一到这里,她就急不可待地告诉我:“听到你被解雇的消息,我非常担心。”说着,她递给我一张圣诞贺卡和一份意想不到的礼物。)”可知,埃丝特修女来看作者,是因为她得知作者已被解雇/作者不再在原来的办公室工作,并担心作者面临的经济困难。故答案为Because she learned that the author had been fired/the author no longer worked in the old office and was concerned about the financial difficulties confronting the author.
【68题详解】
开放式题目。根据文中提到的作者为了环节经济压力把“妈妈”的戒指当掉了,因此这个礼物可以是从当铺买回来的戒指。也可以示给作者的一些钱,帮她度过这个艰难的冬天。作者收到这份礼物后很是惊讶的但是同时也很感动。言之有理即可。故答案为She bought the author’s gold ring back and gave it to the author as a Christmas gift. The author felt surprised, but deeply moved at the same time.或She gave the author a cheque or some cash to help her out. The author felt surprised, but deeply moved at the same time.
