In dry weather. 【答案】17. A 18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【原文】The weather has been so hot, for so long. We’ve seen real changes to the land because of the rising temperature. The drought has meant that water levels are getting lower and lower, leaving some riverbeds completely dry. It’s also happening with lakes, and sometimes that leads to interesting discoveries, not just mud and rocks Beautiful Ladybower Lake in England is actually the stored water for thousands of homes and businesses. It revealed one of its secrets: a church beneath the water. Hundreds of people walk and cycle around the lake every day, so imagine their amazement to see the top of a church rising out of the water. In fact, there’s a whole village there. The village was flooded to create the lake, and the church remained where it stood. During dry, hot weather such as the heat we’ve had recently, visitors were amazed to see the remains of a church right in the middle of the lake. Although water levels are starting to rise again, you can still see the very top of the church 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The documentary All That Breathes, featuring the bird-saving brothers Nadeem Shehzad and Mohammad Saudi, was praised highly among the critics. The birds they save are black kites (黑鸢). The brothers have a deep love for this meat-eating, misunderstood bird. People think of them as vicious (凶猛的) hunters but they hunt only when they need to, say the brothers. For the most part, the birds are scavengers (食腐动物). They’re an unloved bird. Some people are even scared of them. Nadeem Shehzad calls the weeks after mid-July “a blood bath”. It’s a great time for kite-flying in Delhi. At this time of year, the brothers take in bird after bird, their wings torn and bodies bleeding, to the bird hospital they run from their home. Many people in Delhi take part in a popular kite-fighting game in which they aim to cut through the strings (细绳) of an opponent’s kite. They use the manja, a kite whose string is coated with powdered glass. The glass-covered string can be a danger for birds. For years, the brothers have tried to build awareness about these deadly kites while struggling to save the bird victims. After the success of the documentary, donations poured in from all over the world. At the end of the documentary, Nadeem was preparing to study veterinary science (兽医学) in the U.S. He was accepted at a private university in North Carolina but wasn’t able to go because his $5,000 scholarship would only cover 10% of the costs.“ It’s always been a dream to study in the U.S.,” he says. He still hopes to get formal scientific training to improve the knowledge he and his brother have gained on their own. For example, the manja kite strings cause such deep and complex wounds to birds’ wings that some can never fly again. Many veterinarians told them that these wounds simply cannot heal (治愈) completely. However, Nadeem used their own technique to help those with the worst of injuries fly again. Nadeem hopes to conduct research and share his knowledge with the wider community of veterinarians and rescuers. 21. What is people’s attitude towards black kites according to the brothers? A. Positive. B. Unsure. C. Concerned. D. Negative. 22. What endangers the lives of black kites? A. Their lack of food. B. Their short wings. C. Treating them as playthings. D. Using glass-coated strings on kites. 23. What does the underlined word “opponent” mean in paragraph 2? A. friend. B. volunteer. C. competitor. D. supporter. 24. What prevented Nadeem from achieving his dream? A. He had to treat injured birds. B. His inability to afford the costs. C. He had to look after his younger brother. D. His wrong understanding of private universities. 25. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To spread the brothers’ latest research findings. B. To criticize the veterinarians’ lack of professionalism. C. To stress the brothers’ love for bird rescue and treatment. D. To highlight the importance of receiving formal scientific education. 【答案】21. D 22. D 23. C 24. B 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了受好评的纪录片《生生相息》中的Nadeem兄弟，他们救助受风筝玻璃线伤害的黑鸢，渴望深造以提升救助能力。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“People think of them as vicious (凶猛的) hunters but they hunt only when they need to, say the brothers. For the most part, the birds are scavengers (食腐动物). They’re an unloved bird. Some people are even scared of them.(兄弟俩说，人们认为他们是凶猛的猎手，但它们只在需要的时候狩猎。在大多数情况下，这些鸟是食腐动物。它们是一种不受欢迎的鸟，有些人甚至害怕它们)”可推知，人们对黑鸢的态度是负面的。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Many people in Delhi take part in a popular kite-fighting game in which they aim to cut through the strings (细绳) of an opponent’s kite. They use the manja, a kite whose string is coated with powdered glass. The glass-covered string can be a danger for birds.(德里的许多人参加了一项流行的风筝格斗游戏，他们的目标是切断opponent的风筝线。他们使用manja，这是一种风筝线上涂有玻璃粉的风筝。玻璃覆盖的绳子可能对鸟类构成危险)”可知，风筝上的玻璃涂层线危及黑鸢的生命。故选D项。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段第二段“Many people in Delhi take part in a popular kite-fighting game in which they aim to cut through the strings (细绳) of an opponent’s kite. They use the manja, a kite whose string is coated with powdered glass.(德里的许多人参加了一项流行的风筝格斗游戏，他们的目标是切断opponent的风筝线。他们使用manja，这是一种风筝线上涂有玻璃粉的风筝)”可知，在风筝格斗游戏中，人们要切断对方风筝的线，推测划线词opponent的意思是“对手，竞争者”，与competitor意思相近。故选C项。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He was accepted at a private university in North Carolina but wasn’t able to go because his $5,000 scholarship would only cover 10% of the costs.(他被北卡罗来纳州一所私立大学录取，但未能入学，因为5000美元奖学金仅能覆盖10%的费用)”可知，无力承担费用阻碍了纳迪姆实现梦想。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He still hopes to get formal scientific training to improve the knowledge he and his brother have gained on their own. (他仍然希望接受正式的科学培训，以提高他和兄弟自己获得的知识)”以及“Nadeem hopes to conduct research and share his knowledge with the wider community of veterinarians and rescuers.(Nadeem希望进行研究，并与更广泛的兽医和救援人员分享他的知识)”可知，他们希望接受正规科学训练，改进救助技术并分享知识，由此推知，作者写最后一段是为了凸显了他们对救助和治疗鸟类的热爱。故选C项。 B Some schools in the US are considering whether to ban chatbots (聊天机器人), which use artificial intelligence, or AI. However, some math and computer science teachers think chatbots, which enable students to “learn” about subjects from the Internet, are just another tool. Jack Price has taught math using Wolfram Alpha. It is a website that solves algebraic (代数的) problems online. It has long threatened to make algebra homework a thing of the past. Teachers learned to work with it, said Price. He is an assistant professor of mathematics and computer science at the University of Puget Sound in Washington. Price does not consider ChatGPT as a threat, and he is not alone. Some math professors believe AI, when used correctly, can help strengthen math learning. It is arriving at a time when students’ math scores are at a historic low and educators are questioning if math should be taught differently. Price makes sure students have the ability to solve problems on their own. Then, he discusses the limitations of the technologies they might want to use when they get home. “Computers are really good at doing boring things,” Price said. “We don’t have to do all the boring stuff. We can let the computer do it. And then we can know the answer and think about what it tells us about the decisions we need to make.” Min Sun is an education professor at the University of Washington. She thinks students should use chatbots like personal tutors. If students do not understand a math operation, they can ask ChatGPT to explain it and give examples. She wants teachers to use ChatGPT as their own assistant to plan math lessons, give students feedback and communicate with parents. “This is particularly helpful for teachers who are new to the job or have students with different needs,” Sun said. Magdalena Balazinska is a professor at a University in Washington. She welcomes AI. “With the support of AI, human software engineers get to focus on the most interesting part of computer science: answering big software design questions,” Balazinska said. 26. What is Wolfram Alpha’s goal? A Making students’ learning of algebra easy. B. Cancelling students’ homework of algebra. C. Helping students learn more about algebra. D. Getting students to have higher math scores. 27. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Traditional methods work well on math. B. Teachers found it challenging to teach math. C. The time for AI to be used in math teaching is coming. D. It is widely accepted that ChatGPT is dangerous. 28. What can ChatGPT do for students according to Min Sun? A. Do homework for them. B. Answer their math questions. C. Find a personal tutor for them. D. Talk with parents on their problems. 29. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The different attitudes towards AI. B. The strengths and weaknesses of AI. C. The application of AI in the future use. D. The benefits of AI in the field of education. 30. How does the author develop the passage? A. By setting examples from daily use. B. By giving opinions from professors. C. By giving figures from experiments. D. By providing evidence from research. 【答案】26. A 27. C 28. B 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍美国部分学校考虑禁用AI聊天机器人，但多位教授认为其可辅助数学等教学，能助力学生学习与教师工作。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Jack Price has taught math using Wolfram Alpha. It is a website that solves algebraic (代数的) problems online.(Jack Price使用Wolfram Alpha教授数学。这是一个在线解决代数难题的网站)”可知，Wolfram Alpha可以在线解决代数难题，由此可知，其目标是使学生的代数学习变得容易。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It is arriving at a time when students’ math scores are at a historic low and educators are questioning if math should be taught differently.(它的出现正值学生数学成绩处于历史低位，教育工作者质疑数学教学是否应该有所不同)”可推知，AI用于数学教学的时机即将到来。故选C项。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“If students do not understand a math operation, they can ask ChatGPT to explain it and give examples.(如果学生不理解某个数学运算，他们可以让ChatGPT解释并给出例子)”可知，ChatGPT能为学生解答数学问题。故选B项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some schools in the US are considering whether to ban chatbots (聊天机器人), which use artificial intelligence, or AI. However, some math and computer science teachers think chatbots, which enable students to “learn” about subjects from the Internet, are just another tool.(美国的一些学校正在考虑是否禁止使用人工智能的聊天机器人。然而，一些数学和计算机科学教师认为，聊天机器人只是另一种工具，它使学生能够从互联网上“学习”科目)”、第二段“Price does not consider ChatGPT as a threat, and he is not alone. Some math professors believe AI, when used correctly, can help strengthen math learning.(Price并不认为ChatGPT是一种威胁，而且他并不孤单。一些数学教授认为，如果使用得当，人工智能可以帮助加强数学学习)”、第四段“Min Sun is an education professor at the University of Washington. She thinks students should use chatbots like personal tutors. If students do not understand a math operation, they can ask ChatGPT to explain it and give examples. (Min Sun是华盛顿大学的教育学教授。她认为学生应该像私人导师一样使用聊天机器人。如果学生不理解数学运算，他们可以要求ChatGPT解释并举例说明)”以及第五段“Magdalena Balazinska is a professor at a University in Washington. She welcomes AI.(Magdalena Balazinska是华盛顿一所大学的教授。她欢迎人工智能)”可知，文章第一段提出美国一些学校在考虑是否禁止聊天机器人，而一些数学和计算机科学教师认为聊天机器人只是另一种工具，第二段到第五段分别介绍了不同教授对人工智能在教学中的应用及其看法，阐述了人工智能在教育领域的好处，所以文章主要介绍了人工智能在教育领域的好处。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Price does not consider ChatGPT as a threat, and he is not alone.

She thinks students should use chatbots like personal tutors. If students do not understand a math operation, they can ask ChatGPT to explain it and give examples. (Min Sun是华盛顿大学的教育学教授。她认为学生应该像私人导师一样使用聊天机器人。如果学生不理解数学运算，他们可以要求ChatGPT解释并举例说明)”以及第五段“Magdalena Balazinska is a professor at a University in Washington. She welcomes AI.(Magdalena Balazinska是华盛顿一所大学的教授。她欢迎人工智能)”可知，作者主要通过引用不同教授的观点来展开论述，介绍了他们对人工智能在数学教学中应用的看法。故选B项。 C I heard some good news recently. My 91-year-old grandfather called me to test his new hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It thrilled us both. I soon found out there was another reason why my grandparents were so happy — their new audiologist (听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it. Such kindness might sound rare, but I’ve since started wondering: what if it’s more common than we think? It started with some research that showed people often underestimate the willingness of strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that suggested news coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give negative events more attention. Negative stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive (防御的) and less hopeful than we need to be. So I think sometimes what we hear, see or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We should start by asking ourselves whether we are focusing more on negative or positive stories, and whether we are letting negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news, or paying more attention to sharing good news will help. Anna’s attitude was remarkable. She went beyond the call of duty and, upon leaving, refused to accept anything but words as thanks. Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that’s in the world and in the news, behind the scenes, in people’s ordinary lives, lie untold stories of extraordinary good. 31. How was Anna different from previous audiologists? A. She displayed more patience and honesty. B. She offered her patients personal assistance. C. She paid little attention to her patients’ needs. D. She refused to accept payment for the hearing aid. 32. Why are news reports on current events usually more negative than positive? A. To reveal the hard life in reality. B. To warn people of potential risks. C. To attract audiences more effectively. D. To encourage people to seek out the truth. 33. What is a potential result of focusing only on negative stories? A. A reduced sense of safety. B. Increased courage and hope. C. A more objective view of the world. D. Improved ability to deal with stress. 34. What does the author suggest people do? A. Share only positive news stories. B. Pay no attention to negative news. C. Take advantage of others’ kindness. D. Maintain a positive attitude toward the world. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Avoid the bad. B. Display your kindness. C. Uncover the good. D. Prepare ourselves for the negative. 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者通过祖父的经历和研究发现，人们往往低估陌生人的善意，而负面新闻的过度关注可能使我们更批判世界，作者呼吁关注并发现生活中的美好。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike the previous providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it.(与他们之前接触过的供应商不同，Anna付出了时间和精力。Anna不仅确保新的助听器正常工作，还主动提出去我祖父母的公寓教他们如何使用。)”可知，Anna与之前的听觉病矫治专家的不同在于她为病人提供了个人帮助。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Then I came across a study that suggested news coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give negative events more attention.(然后我看到一项研究表明，时事新闻报道往往负面多于正面，因为人类倾向于更多地关注负面事件。)”以及第五段中“Negative stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment.(负面故事可以吸引我们的注意力，让我们为失望做好准备。)”可知，时事新闻报道通常是负面的多于正面的，是为了更有效地吸引观众。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive (防御的) and less hopeful than we need to be.(但是，如果我们不关注正面的新闻，它们可能会让我们对世界更加挑剔，更加防御，更加缺乏希望。)”可知，只关注负面故事可能会导致安全感降低。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“So I think sometimes what we hear, see or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We should start by asking ourselves whether we are focusing more on negative or positive stories, and whether we are letting negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news, or paying more attention to sharing good news will help.(所以我想，有时候我们听到、看到甚至知道的可能不是全部。真相可能还未向我们显露，需要我们注意并发现它。我们应该先问问自己，我们是否更多地关注负面或正面的故事，我们是否让负面新闻包围着我们。也许，多关注好消息，或者多关注分享好消息，会有所帮助。)”以及最后一段中“Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that’s in the world and in the news, behind the scenes, in people’s ordinary lives, lie untold stories of extraordinary good.(我们为什么不提醒自己，尽管世界和新闻中有那么多不好的事情，但在幕后，在人们的日常生活中，却隐藏着无数非凡美好的故事。)”可知，作者建议人们对世界保持积极的态度。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第六段中“So I think sometimes what we hear, see or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it.(所以我想，有时候我们听到、看到甚至知道的可能不是全部。真相可能还未向我们显露，需要我们注意并发现它。)”以及最后一段“Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that’s in the world and in the news, behind the scenes, in people’s ordinary lives, lie untold stories of extraordinary good.(我们为什么不提醒自己，尽管世界和新闻中有那么多不好的事情，但在幕后，在人们的日常生活中，却隐藏着无数非凡美好的故事。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者通过祖父的经历和研究发现，人们往往低估陌生人的善意，而负面新闻的过度关注可能使我们更批判世界，呼吁关注并发现生活中的美好。可知，C选项“Uncover the good(发现美好)”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your peers are the people who are the same age as you or who have the same status as you.

The birds they save are black kites (黑鸢). The brothers have a deep love for this meat-eating, misunderstood bird. People think of them as vicious (凶猛的) hunters but they hunt only when they need to, say the brothers. For the most part, the birds are scavengers (食腐动物). They’re an unloved bird. Some people are even scared of them. Nadeem Shehzad calls the weeks after mid-July “a blood bath”. It’s a great time for kite-flying in Delhi. At this time of year, the brothers take in bird after bird, their wings torn and bodies bleeding, to the bird hospital they run from their home. Many people in Delhi take part in a popular kite-fighting game in which they aim to cut through the strings (细绳) of an opponent’s kite. They use the manja, a kite whose string is coated with powdered glass. The glass-covered string can be a danger for birds. For years, the brothers have tried to build awareness about these deadly kites while struggling to save the bird victims. After the success of the documentary, donations poured in from all over the world. At the end of the documentary, Nadeem was preparing to study veterinary science (兽医学) in the U.S. He was accepted at a private university in North Carolina but wasn’t able to go because his $5,000 scholarship would only cover 10% of the costs.“ It’s always been a dream to study in the U.S.,” he says. He still hopes to get formal scientific training to improve the knowledge he and his brother have gained on their own. For example, the manja kite strings cause such deep and complex wounds to birds’ wings that some can never fly again. Many veterinarians told them that these wounds simply cannot heal (治愈) completely. However, Nadeem used their own technique to help those with the worst of injuries fly again. Nadeem hopes to conduct research and share his knowledge with the wider community of veterinarians and rescuers. 21. What is people’s attitude towards black kites according to the brothers? A. Positive. B. Unsure. C. Concerned. D. Negative. 22. What endangers the lives of black kites? A. Their lack of food. B. Their short wings. C. Treating them as playthings. D. Using glass-coated strings on kites. 23. What does the underlined word “opponent” mean in paragraph 2? A. friend. B. volunteer. C. competitor. D. supporter. 24. What prevented Nadeem from achieving his dream? A. He had to treat injured birds. B. His inability to afford the costs. C. He had to look after his younger brother. D. His wrong understanding of private universities. 25. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To spread the brothers’ latest research findings. B. To criticize the veterinarians’ lack of professionalism. C. To stress the brothers’ love for bird rescue and treatment. D. To highlight the importance of receiving formal scientific education. B Some schools in the US are considering whether to ban chatbots (聊天机器人), which use artificial intelligence, or AI. However, some math and computer science teachers think chatbots, which enable students to “learn” about subjects from the Internet, are just another tool. Jack Price has taught math using Wolfram Alpha. It is a website that solves algebraic (代数的) problems online. It has long threatened to make algebra homework a thing of the past. Teachers learned to work with it, said Price. He is an assistant professor of mathematics and computer science at the University of Puget Sound in Washington. Price does not consider ChatGPT as a threat, and he is not alone. Some math professors believe AI, when used correctly, can help strengthen math learning. It is arriving at a time when students’ math scores are at a historic low and educators are questioning if math should be taught differently. Price makes sure students have the ability to solve problems on their own. Then, he discusses the limitations of the technologies they might want to use when they get home. “Computers are really good at doing boring things,” Price said. “We don’t have to do all the boring stuff. We can let the computer do it. And then we can know the answer and think about what it tells us about the decisions we need to make.” Min Sun is an education professor at the University of Washington. She thinks students should use chatbots like personal tutors. If students do not understand a math operation, they can ask ChatGPT to explain it and give examples. She wants teachers to use ChatGPT as their own assistant to plan math lessons, give students feedback and communicate with parents. “This is particularly helpful for teachers who are new to the job or have students with different needs,” Sun said. Magdalena Balazinska is a professor at a University in Washington. She welcomes AI. “With the support of AI, human software engineers get to focus on the most interesting part of computer science: answering big software design questions,” Balazinska said. 26. What is Wolfram Alpha’s goal? A. Making students’ learning of algebra easy. B. Cancelling students’ homework of algebra. C. Helping students learn more about algebra. D. Getting students to have higher math scores. 27. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Traditional methods work well on math. B. Teachers found it challenging to teach math. C. The time for AI to be used in math teaching is coming. D. It is widely accepted that ChatGPT is dangerous. 28. What can ChatGPT do for students according to Min Sun? A. Do homework for them. B. Answer their math questions. C. Find a personal tutor for them. D. Talk with parents on their problems. 29. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The different attitudes towards AI. B. The strengths and weaknesses of AI. C. The application of AI in the future use. D. The benefits of AI in the field of education. 30. How does the author develop the passage? A. By setting examples from daily use. B. By giving opinions from professors. C. By giving figures from experiments. D. By providing evidence from research. C I heard some good news recently. My 91-year-old grandfather called me to test his new hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It thrilled us both. I soon found out there was another reason why my grandparents were so happy — their new audiologist (听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it. Such kindness might sound rare, but I’ve since started wondering: what if it’s more common than we think? It started with some research that showed people often underestimate the willingness of strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that suggested news coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give negative events more attention. Negative stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive (防御的) and less hopeful than we need to be. So I think sometimes what we hear, see or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We should start by asking ourselves whether we are focusing more on negative or positive stories, and whether we are letting negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news, or paying more attention to sharing good news will help. Anna’s attitude was remarkable. She went beyond the call of duty and, upon leaving, refused to accept anything but words as thanks. Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that’s in the world and in the news, behind the scenes, in people’s ordinary lives, lie untold stories of extraordinary good. 31. How was Anna different from previous audiologists? A. She displayed more patience and honesty. B. She offered her patients personal assistance. C. She paid little attention to her patients’ needs. D. She refused to accept payment for the hearing aid. 32. Why are news reports on current events usually more negative than positive? A. To reveal the hard life in reality. B. To warn people of potential risks. C. To attract audiences more effectively. D. To encourage people to seek out the truth. 33. What is a potential result of focusing only on negative stories? A. A reduced sense of safety. B. Increased courage and hope. C. A more objective view of the world. D Improved ability to deal with stress. 34. What does the author suggest people do? A. Share only positive news stories. B. Pay no attention to negative news. C. Take advantage of others’ kindness. D. Maintain a positive attitude toward the world. 35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Avoid the bad. B. Display your kindness. C. Uncover the good. D. Prepare ourselves for the negative. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your peers are the people who are the same age as you or who have the same status as you.
