第二部分:阅读理解(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
There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English. But are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary. For example, Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats. There are far more examples than we can talk about here. Fortunately, most Americans and Brits can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence.
Past Tense Verbs
You’ll also find some differences with past forms of irregular verbs. The past tense of “learn” in American English is “learned”. British English has the option (选择) of “learned” or “learnt”. The same rule applies to “dreamed” and “dreamt”, “burned” and “burnt”, and “leaned” and “leant”. Americans tend to use the -ed ending; Brits tend to use the -t ending.
Spelling
There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American English. Noah Webster, an author, politician and teacher, made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s. Webster wanted to spell words the way they sounded. You can see Webster’s legacy (遗产) in the American spelling of words like color (from colour), honor (from honour), and labor (from labour).
Not So Different After All
British and American English have far more similarities than differences. With the exception of some regional dialects (方言), most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty. They watch each other’s TV shows, sing each other’s songs and read each other’s books. They even make fun of each other’s accents.
26. Which of the following is a group of American words?
A. Vacation; holiday. B. Apartment; flat.
C. Vacation; apartment. D. Holiday; flat.
27. What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph?
A. They both have some strange words.
B. They are affecting people using them.
C. They connect people of the two countries.
D. Their differences have little effect on communication.
28. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A magazine.
C. A guidebook. D. A novel.
B
In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. I felt like I was on top of the world. I was able to even use my “gifted” title to get accepted into a famous private high school, something I’d never expected.
Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. Teachers didn’t look to me for the correct answer. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise. To put it simply, all the straight-As on my report card were quickly disappearing.
My parents’ concern grew — they began to search for tutors and would constantly ask me as if they were trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater and I found myself constantly anxious, and worrying about school.
Last week, watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics reminded me of this feeling. Simone Biles: the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). If there was any one person we knew we could depend on to win gold in her event, it was Simone. But that kind of pressure is unbearable. Imagine having to practically carry the Olympics on your back because all of the United States feels as though they can rely on you. However, unlike me and my freshman-year identity crisis, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self-reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her to handle.
Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not performing the way I wanted to, I need to take a note from Simone and be kind to myself, taking a break and asking for help when necessary. Taking care of yourself and your mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, if GOAT can do it, so can we!
29. How might the author find her middle school life?
A. Challenging. B. Peaceful. C. Meaningless. D. Satisfying.
30 What may be a reason for the author’s anxiety?
A. Disappointing her parents.
B. Caring about her appearance.
C. Failing to be admitted to college.
D. Being unable to complete her papers.
31. What might Simone Biles be?
A. A professional athlete.
B. An Olympic official.
C. An event organizer.
D. A medal presenter.
32 What did the author learn from Biles?
A. Deal with pressure on our own.
B. Taking care of ourselves matters.
C. Never seek help whatever happens.
D. Winning comes first in all the fields.
C
Sorry rabbits, but giant tortoises are still winning the race of life by treating it like a marathon and taking each step slow and steady. Recently, the world’s oldest tortoise, Jonathan, has turned 191 years old. This extends his title of the oldest living land animal by another year.
Unofficially, there have been claims of older tortoises, including one believed to have been 255 years old when it died in 2006. Researchers have not been able to pin down exactly what keeps them around for so long, but their slow-motion lifestyle may have something to do with it.
Giant tortoises have very slow metabolisms (新陈代谢), which means they burn energy at a slower rate than smaller and faster animals. Physiologist Max Rubner introduced the rate of living theory. The theory suggested an inverse relationship between metabolism and lifespan, which means that the faster the metabolism, the shorter the life. Scientists have had some issues with the theory over the past century, but it did produce the phrase “‘live fast, die young", and it serves as the basis for more research on the topic.
The link between metabolism and longevity (长寿) is still not understood. Some scientists believe that metabolism is linked to the creation of free radicals (自由基). They are the molecules (分子) that damage cells and that increase as more energy is burned by the body. According to this theory, tortoises live longer because their slow metabolisms bum less energy. which means less harm to the cells in their bodies.
Theories on aging alone don’t fully explain how tortoises live much longer than humans, but their reproductive (繁殖的) life and size may give an explanation. Because of their massive hard shells and their geographic isolation (they only live on a few specific islands), giant tortoises have very few enemies to worry about. This means giant tortoises don’t have to rush into reproduction to keep their species alive.
Each theory has its limitations and unanswered questions, but scientists believe that a combination of biological and evolutionary factors is what keeps giant tortoises alive for so long.
33. What does the underlined word “inverse” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Clear. D. Unchanging.
34. What can we learn about free radicals?
A. Free radicals can protect cells.
B. Free radicals increase with age.
C. Fewer free radicals lead to a longer lifetime.
D. The slower the metabolism, the more free radicals.
35. Why don’t giant tortoises rush to produce their young?
A. They have little worry about extinction.
B. They have a low reproductive ability
C. They live a long time.
D. They usually prefer to be alone.
36. What could be the best title for this article?
A. Live fast, die young. B. The way metabolism works.
C. Jonathan, oldest tortoise. D. Secret to giant tortoises’ longevity.
D
Expecting the worst to avoid feeling bad later is known as “bracing”. It may help them prepare for emotionally challenging situations, particularly in the moments before these situations occur. People brace for the worst while awaiting potentially negative outcomes. Someone might also brace for the worst in anticipation of stressful events like giving a presentation at work.
Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, “decision affect theory” proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations.
Other psychological theories, nevertheless, undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been theorized and scientifically established that expectations can powerfully influence reality. There are two key ways that expectations can shape reality.
First, people may behave in ways that fit with their expectations. If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance. In fact, the interviewer did not want to give anything away.
Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be more sensible to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst.
37. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The logic of preparing for the worst.
B. The theory of comparing past and future.
C. The conflict between people’s expectation and reality.
D. The emotions hidden behind anticipating the worst.
38. What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Strengthen. B. Propose.
C. Weaken. D. Justify.
39. How can negative expectations probably affect people’s performance in reality?
A. By reducing people’s chances of doing well.
B. By stimulating people’s ambition and motivation.
C. By giving weight to people’s potential of excellence.
D. By causing less preparation and some misinterpretations.
40. Which would the author most likely agree with regarding “bracing for the worst”?
A. It fully guarantees people a positive emotional experience.
B. It may bring more drawbacks than benefits in practice.
C. It is a universal solution for handling difficult situations.
D. It has no impact on how people view real-life events.

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。
Studies continue to show how important strong friendships are to our overall health. Here’re the rules you are supposed to know to keep strong and healthy friendships.
____41____ Everyone needs a support network. When you consider yourself the friend of another, you’re implicitly offering to be a part of his or her support network. What’s more, without trust and honesty, there is no authenticity (真实性) to the friendship.
Be all ears to your friends. Too often, we only “half hear” what others are telling us, and have a hard time making space for caring about others’ conditions. ____42____ If we don’t truly know what our friends need or can’t clearly express how we feel or what we need, friendships won’t survive or continue.
Throw away the judgment. ____43____ Good friends are able to realize that everyone is human. Friends don’t have to necessarily “like” or “approve” of their friends’ choices, but good friends will accept their friends’ choices no matter what.
Forgive (原谅) where you can — and seek forgiveness when you make a mess of something. No one promises to bring perfection to a relationship, so being willing to accept and forgive the weaknesses of others makes you more likely to build a lasting friendship. ____44____
Respect your friends and their boundaries. Everyone has a right to set up personal boundaries to feel safe and respected. Some friends may have a difficult time letting people get close to them for fear of being hurt. ____45____ Give them the space they need to feel comfortable, and let the relationship deepen over time.
A. Don’t crowd your friends.
B. Offer them what they need.
C. Support, trust, and honesty are givens.
D. But friendships don’t need to be perfect.
E. True friends don’t judge each other’s choices.
F. However, friendships require attention and care.
G. It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes.

第二部分:阅读理解(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
There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English. But are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary. For example, Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats. There are far more examples than we can talk about here. Fortunately, most Americans and Brits can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence.
Past Tense Verbs
You’ll also find some differences with past forms of irregular verbs. The past tense of “learn” in American English is “learned”. British English has the option (选择) of “learned” or “learnt”. The same rule applies to “dreamed” and “dreamt”, “burned” and “burnt”, and “leaned” and “leant”. Americans tend to use the -ed ending; Brits tend to use the -t ending.
Spelling
There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American English. Noah Webster, an author, politician and teacher, made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s. Webster wanted to spell words the way they sounded. You can see Webster’s legacy (遗产) in the American spelling of words like color (from colour), honor (from honour), and labor (from labour).
Not So Different After All
British and American English have far more similarities than differences. With the exception of some regional dialects (方言), most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty. They watch each other’s TV shows, sing each other’s songs and read each other’s books. They even make fun of each other’s accents.
26. Which of the following is a group of American words?
A. Vacation; holiday. B. Apartment; flat.
C. Vacation; apartment. D. Holiday; flat.
27. What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph?
A. They both have some strange words.
B. They are affecting people using them.
C. They connect people of the two countries.
D. Their differences have little effect on communication.
28. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A magazine.
C. A guidebook. D. A novel.
【答案】26. C 27. D 28. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了美式英语和英式英语之间的差异与相似之处。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary. For example, Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats.(美式英语和英式英语最明显的区别在于词汇。例如,美国人说“go on vacation”(度假),而英国人说“go on holidays”;纽约人住在“apartments”(公寓)里,而伦敦人住在“flats”(公寓)里)”可知,vacation和apartment是美式英语,holiday和flat是英式英语。故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“British and American English have far more similarities than differences. With the exception of some regional dialects, most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty.(英式英语和美式英语的相似之处远多于不同之处。除了一些地方方言外,大多数英国人和美国人都能毫不费力地理解对方的意思)”可知,英式英语和美式英语的相似之处远多于不同之处,英国人和美国人可以毫不费力地理解对方的意思,所以它们的差异对交流影响不大。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English. But are American and British English really so different?(有句老话说,美国和英国是“被同一种语言分割的两个国家”。没有人确切知道这句话是谁说的,但它反映了许多英国人对美式英语的看法。但是美式英语和英式英语真的如此不同吗?)”可知,文章主要探讨了美式英语和英式英语之间的差异与相似之处,这类话题通常出现在杂志上。故选B。
B
In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. I felt like I was on top of the world. I was able to even use my “gifted” title to get accepted into a famous private high school, something I’d never expected.
Then high school began. All of a sudden, I was no longer at the top of my class. Teachers didn’t look to me for the correct answer. My papers were filled with corrections, not praise. To put it simply, all the straight-As on my report card were quickly disappearing.
My parents’ concern grew — they began to search for tutors and would constantly ask me as if they were trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater and I found myself constantly anxious, and worrying about school.
Last week, watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics reminded me of this feeling. Simone Biles: the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). If there was any one person we knew we could depend on to win gold in her event, it was Simone. But that kind of pressure is unbearable. Imagine having to practically carry the Olympics on your back because all of the United States feels as though they can rely on you. However, unlike me and my freshman-year identity crisis, Simone recognized the pressure she was under. She had the bravery and self-reflective skills to be able to realize that the pressure of perfection was too much for her to handle.
Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not performing the way I wanted to, I need to take a note from Simone and be kind to myself, taking a break and asking for help when necessary. Taking care of yourself and your mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. After all, if GOAT can do it, so can we!
29. How might the author find her middle school life?

C. An event organizer.
D. A medal presenter.
32. What did the author learn from Biles?
A. Deal with pressure on our own.

C Never seek help whatever happens.
D. Winning comes first in all the fields.
【答案】29. D 30. A 31. A 32. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从中学的“天才”学生到高中面临的挑战,以及从Simone Biles退赛中得到的心理健康的启示。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段中“In middle school, I was one of the “gifted” kids. I felt like I was on top of the world. (在中学,我是一个“天才”的孩子。我觉得自己站在了世界之巅。)”可知,在中学时,作者是“天才”孩子之一,感觉自己站在了世界之巅。因此,作者可能会觉得她的中学生活是令人满意的。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“My parents’ concern grew — they began to search for tutors and would constantly ask me as if they were trying to find out what was wrong with me. My concern grew too — the pressure to live up to their expectations only became greater and I found myself constantly anxious, and worrying about school. (我的父母越来越担心——他们开始寻找家庭教师,并不断地问我,好像他们想找出我哪里出了问题。我的担忧也在增加——达到他们期望的压力只会越来越大,我发现自己总是焦虑,担心学业。)”可知,作者焦虑的原因可能是怕让父母失望。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Last week, watching Simone Biles pull out of the Olympics reminded me of this feeling. (上周,观看Simone Biles退出奥运会的情景让我想起了这种感觉)”可知,Simone Biles斯可能是一名专业运动员。故选A。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Simone Biles has taught me a very important lesson: to be the greatest person of all time, mental health must come first. Instead of getting down on myself for not performing the way I wanted to, I need to take a note from Simone and be kind to myself, taking a break and asking for help when necessary. Taking care of yourself and your mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. (Simone Biles给我上了非常重要的一课:要成为有史以来最伟大的人,心理健康必须放在第一位。我需要从Simone那里吸取教训,对自己好一点,休息一下,必要的时候寻求帮助,而不是因为没有按照自己想要的方式表现而沮丧。照顾好自己和自己的心理健康没什么好羞耻的。)”可知,作者从Biles身上学到的是照顾好自己很重要。故选B。
C
Sorry rabbits, but giant tortoises are still winning the race of life by treating it like a marathon and taking each step slow and steady. Recently, the world’s oldest tortoise, Jonathan, has turned 191 years old. This extends his title of the oldest living land animal by another year.
Unofficially, there have been claims of older tortoises, including one believed to have been 255 years old when it died in 2006. Researchers have not been able to pin down exactly what keeps them around for so long, but their slow-motion lifestyle may have something to do with it.
Giant tortoises have very slow metabolisms (新陈代谢), which means they burn energy at a slower rate than smaller and faster animals. Physiologist Max Rubner introduced the rate of living theory. The theory suggested an inverse relationship between metabolism and lifespan, which means that the faster the metabolism, the shorter the life. Scientists have had some issues with the theory over the past century, but it did produce the phrase “‘live fast, die young", and it serves as the basis for more research on the topic.
The link between metabolism and longevity (长寿) is still not understood. Some scientists believe that metabolism is linked to the creation of free radicals (自由基). They are the molecules (分子) that damage cells and that increase as more energy is burned by the body. According to this theory, tortoises live longer because their slow metabolisms bum less energy. which means less harm to the cells in their bodies.
Theories on aging alone don’t fully explain how tortoises live much longer than humans, but their reproductive (繁殖的) life and size may give an explanation. Because of their massive hard shells and their geographic isolation (they only live on a few specific islands), giant tortoises have very few enemies to worry about. This means giant tortoises don’t have to rush into reproduction to keep their species alive.
Each theory has its limitations and unanswered questions, but scientists believe that a combination of biological and evolutionary factors is what keeps giant tortoises alive for so long.
33. What does the underlined word “inverse” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Clear. D. Unchanging.
34. What can we learn about free radicals?
A. Free radicals can protect cells.
B. Free radicals increase with age.
C Fewer free radicals lead to a longer lifetime.
D. The slower the metabolism, the more free radicals.
35. Why don’t giant tortoises rush to produce their young?
A. They have little worry about extinction.
B. They have a low reproductive ability
C. They live a long time.
D. They usually prefer to be alone.
36. What could be the best title for this article?
A. Live fast, die young. B. The way metabolism works.
C. Jonathan, oldest tortoise. D. Secret to giant tortoises’ longevity.
【答案】33. B 34. C 35. A 36. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了巨型陆龟为何能够拥有超长寿命的秘密,从它们的新陈代谢速度、繁殖生活以及体型等多个方面进行了阐述,并指出科学家认为这是生物和进化因素共同作用的结果。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The theory suggested an inverse relationship between metabolism and lifespan, which means that the faster the metabolism, the shorter the life.(该理论表明新陈代谢和寿命之间存在___关系,这意味着新陈代谢越快,寿命越短。)”可知,该理论表明新陈代谢和寿命之间存在一种相反的关系,即新陈代谢越快,寿命越短。由此可推知,inverse意为“相反的”。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They are the molecules (分子) that damage cells and that increase as more energy is burned by the body. According to this theory, tortoises live longer because their slow metabolisms bum less energy, which means less harm to the cells in their bodies.(自由基是损伤细胞的分子,随着身体燃烧更多的能量而增加。根据这一理论,乌龟的寿命更长,因为它们缓慢的新陈代谢消耗的能量更少。这意味着对体内细胞的伤害更小。)”可知,自由基是损害细胞的分子,身体燃烧的能量越多,自由基就越多。根据这个理论,陆龟寿命更长是因为它们的新陈代谢缓慢,燃烧的能量少,这意味着对它们体内细胞的伤害更少。由此可推知,自由基越少,寿命越长。故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Because of their massive hard shells and their geographic isolation (they only live on a few specific islands), giant tortoises have very few enemies to worry about. This means giant tortoises don’t have to rush into reproduction to keep their species alive.(由于它们巨大的硬壳和地理隔离(它们只生活在几个特定的岛屿上),巨龟几乎没有敌人需要担心。这意味着巨龟不必急于繁殖来维持物种的生存。)”可知,巨型陆龟不必急于繁殖以保持其物种的生存。由此可知,巨型陆龟不必担心灭绝,所以它们不急于繁殖。故选A项。
【36题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中的“Sorry rabbits, but giant tortoises are still winning the race of life by treating it like a marathon and taking each step slow and steady.(对不起,兔子,但巨龟仍然通过像马拉松一样对待生命,缓慢而稳定地迈出每一步,赢得了生命的竞赛。)”以及最后一段中的“Each theory has its limitations and unanswered questions, but scientists believe that a combination of biological and evolutionary factors is what keeps giant tortoises alive for so long.(每种理论都有其局限性和未解之谜,但科学家们认为,生物和进化因素的结合是使巨龟存活如此之久的原因。)”可知,本文主要探讨了巨型陆龟长寿的秘密。D选项(巨型陆龟长寿的秘密)”最符合文章标题。故选D项。
D
Expecting the worst to avoid feeling bad later is known as “bracing”. It may help them prepare for emotionally challenging situations, particularly in the moments before these situations occur. People brace for the worst while awaiting potentially negative outcomes. Someone might also brace for the worst in anticipation of stressful events like giving a presentation at work.
Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, “decision affect theory” proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations.
Other psychological theories, nevertheless, undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been theorized and scientifically established that expectations can powerfully influence reality. There are two key ways that expectations can shape reality.
First, people may behave in ways that fit with their expectations. If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance. In fact, the interviewer did not want to give anything away.
Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be more sensible to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst.
37. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The logic of preparing for the worst.
B. The theory of comparing past and future.
C. The conflict between people’s expectation and reality.
D. The emotions hidden behind anticipating the worst.
38. What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Strengthen. B. Propose.
C. Weaken. D. Justify.
39 How can negative expectations probably affect people’s performance in reality?
A. By reducing people’s chances of doing well.
B. By stimulating people’s ambition and motivation.
C. By giving weight to people’s potential of excellence.
D. By causing less preparation and some misinterpretations.
40. Which would the author most likely agree with regarding “bracing for the worst”?
A. It fully guarantees people a positive emotional experience.
B. It may bring more drawbacks than benefits in practice.
C. It is a universal solution for handling difficult situations.
D. It has no impact on how people view real-life events.
【答案】37. A 38. C 39. D 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“为最坏情况做准备(bracing)”展开讨论,介绍了相关心理理论,指出其弊端,认为抱有积极期望或许更明智。
37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Some psychological theories suggest that bracing should help. For example, ‘decision affect theory’ proposes that how we feel about a situation is determined partly by comparing what actually happened with what could have happened. Based on this, people should be happy when an event goes beyond their expectations, and disappointed when an event falls behind. Therefore, by anticipating the worst, one can safeguard themselves against future disappointment, as any result is likely to surpass their expectations.(一些心理理论表明,为最坏情况做准备应该是有帮助的。例如,‘决策影响理论’提出,我们对一种情况的感受部分取决于将实际发生的事情与可能发生的事情进行比较。基于此,当一件事情超出我们的预期时,人们应该会感到高兴,而当一件事情未达预期时,人们会感到失望。因此,通过预期最坏的情况,人们可以避免未来的失望,因为任何结果都可能超出他们的预期)”可知,该段主要介绍了心理理论表明,通过预期最坏的情况,人们可以避免对未来的失望,因为任何结果都可能超出他们的预期。所以本段阐述了为最坏情况做准备背后的逻辑。故选A项。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Other psychological theories, nevertheless, undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been theorized and scientifically established that expectations can powerfully influence reality.(然而,其他心理理论……认为为最坏情况做准备会有帮助的观点。从理论和科学上已经证实,期望会对现实产生强大的影响)”以及后文介绍期望影响现实导致为最坏情况做准备不一定有帮助,可推知,其他理论是削弱了这种认为为最坏情况做准备有帮助的观点。“undermine”意思是“削弱”,与C项“Weaken”同义。故选C项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“First, people may behave in ways that fit with their expectations. If you expect to fail an upcoming test or interview, then you might not invest efforts in preparation, which in turn reduces your chances of doing well. Second, people may interpret a situation in line with their expectations. Imagine you believe you are insufficiently qualified for a job you’ve applied for. During the job interview, you’re likely to interpret blank expressions from the interviewer in line with this belief, which could negatively affect your performance.(首先,人们的行为方式可能与他们的期望相符。如果你预计即将到来的考试或面试会失败,那么你可能不会投入精力去准备,这反过来会降低你表现出色的机会。其次,人们可能会按照自己的期望来解读一种情况。想象一下,你认为自己申请的一份工作资历不够。在面试过程中,你可能会根据这种信念来解读面试官的面无表情,这可能会对你的表现产生负面影响)”可知,消极期望可能会通过导致准备不足和一些错误解读来影响人们在现实中的表现。故选D项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Drawing together the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the worst is anything but a wise way to prepare for upcoming news or results. It might be more sensible to hold positive expectations than to brace for the worst.(综合这些科学研究,似乎期待最坏的情况绝不是为即将到来的消息或结果做准备的明智方式。抱有积极的期望可能比为最坏的情况做准备更明智)”可推断,作者认为在实践中,为最坏情况做准备可能带来的弊端多于好处。故选B项。
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。
Studies continue to show how important strong friendships are to our overall health. Here’re the rules you are supposed to know to keep strong and healthy friendships.
____41____ Everyone needs a support network. When you consider yourself the friend of another, you’re implicitly offering to be a part of his or her support network. What’s more, without trust and honesty, there is no authenticity (真实性) to the friendship.
Be all ears to your friends. Too often, we only “half hear” what others are telling us, and have a hard time making space for caring about others’ conditions. ____42____ If we don’t truly know what our friends need or can’t clearly express how we feel or what we need, friendships won’t survive or continue.
Throw away the judgment. ____43____ Good friends are able to realize that everyone is human. Friends don’t have to necessarily “like” or “approve” of their friends’ choices, but good friends will accept their friends’ choices no matter what.
Forgive (原谅) where you can — and seek forgiveness when you make a mess of something. No one promises to bring perfection to a relationship, so being willing to accept and forgive the weaknesses of others makes you more likely to build a lasting friendship. ____44____
Respect your friends and their boundaries. Everyone has a right to set up personal boundaries to feel safe and respected. Some friends may have a difficult time letting people get close to them for fear of being hurt. ____45____ Give them the space they need to feel comfortable, and let the relationship deepen over time.
A. Don’t crowd your friends.
B. Offer them what they need.
C. Support, trust, and honesty are givens.
D. But friendships don’t need to be perfect.
E. True friends don’t judge each other’s choices.
F. However, friendships require attention and care.
G. It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes.
【答案】41. C 42. F 43. E 44. G 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些保持牢固且健康的友谊的规则。
【41题详解】
空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需统领段落内容,且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“Everyone needs a support network. (每个人都需要一个支持网络)”和“What’s more, without trust and honesty, there is no authenticity (真实性) to the friendship. (更重要的是,没有信任和诚实,友谊就没有真实性)”可知,本段主要建议给朋友支持、信任和诚实,因此C项“Support, trust, and honesty are givens. (给予支持、信任和诚实)”符合语境,契合段落内容,其中的Support、trust和honesty在后文有同词复现。故选C。
【42题详解】
前文“Too often, we only “half hear” what others are telling us, and have a hard time making space for caring about others’ conditions. (很多时候,我们只“半听”别人对我们说的话,很难腾出空间去关心别人的情况)”指出存在不认真倾听和缺乏关心的问题,因此F项“However, friendships require attention and care. (然而,友谊需要关注和关心)”符合语境,点明需要提供关注和关心,承接前文的问题,其中的care和前文的caring呼应。故选F。
【43题详解】
前文“Throw away the judgment. (把评判抛诸脑后)”建议不要评判,因此E项“True friends don’t judge each other’s choices. (真正的朋友不会评判对方的选择)”符合语境,说明真正的友谊中不会有对对方选择的评判,承接前文,其中的judge呼应前文的judgment。故选E。
【44题详解】
前文“Forgive (原谅) where you can — and seek forgiveness when you make a mess of something. No one promises to bring perfection to a relationship, so being willing to accept and forgive the weaknesses of others makes you more likely to build a lasting friendship. (在你能原谅的地方原谅——当你把事情搞得一团糟的时候寻求原谅。没有人能保证让一段关系变得完美,所以愿意接受和原谅别人的缺点会让你更有可能建立一段持久的友谊)”建议原谅朋友和请求原谅,并解释原谅朋友的原因,因此G项“It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes. (同样重要的是,我们能够意识到自己犯了错误)”符合语境,说明要意识到自己犯错,承接段首句中的请求原谅。故选G。

Yours,

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m glad you asked for my advice. If you can’t decide between P.E. and film class, I suggest that you pick film on Friday and do sports with friends on weekends. Film class will improve your listening and cultural knowledge, while Friday sports are often crowded. Doing sports will recharge you after a week of classes and help you sleep better, while films will let you explore Chinese culture. This way you enjoy both without missing anything. That spares you the pain of choosing just one.
Hope you find my advice helpful!
Yours,
Li Hua
