学考必备的完形填空的体裁主要以记叙文和夹叙夹议文为主,主题语境包括人与自我、人与社会及人与自然,选材都是积极向上、充满正能量的文章,倡导至真、至善、至美的价值观。选材原汁原味,语言地道,能够传递正能量,从考生熟悉的话题中考查英语素养。完形填空主要考查实词。一般情况下,名词和动词(短语)考查的数量在2/3以上,体现了高考对词汇考查的灵活性。这就要求考生在复习备考时应重视词汇的积累,同时注意培养自己在语境中理解词义的能力。
完形填空的解题步骤
1. 通读全文,理解大意。重视首句信息,跳过空格,浏览全文,从整体上感知全文,理解文章大意,这是解题的基础。
2. 瞻前顾后,避难就易。在理解文章大意的情况下,结合各选项的意义和用法,遵循先易后难的原则,先做有把握的问题,对少数难题,暂时跳过,或许下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示。
3. 复读全文,解决疑难。借助已经补全的空格,对全文有更清楚的理解,可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题。
4. 再次复读,弥补疏漏。全部做好后,考生务必要结合自己选择的答案重新阅读短文内容,确保全文文意连贯。
常用答题微技能如下:
考点一 首句概览法
在完形填空中,一般情况下,文章第一句话会交代人物的姓名、身份或事件发生的时间、地点等,然后再介绍事件的发生、发展及结果。利用首句确定文章的体裁:如果文章开头交代事情发生的时间、地点以及人物等,这很可能就是一篇记叙文。
完形填空的首句或前几句话一般是完整的,这样便于考生理清思路,抓住文章的线索。由首句的提示及上下文之间的关系便能进一步了解短文的内容,为正确解题提供了依据。所以考生在做题时,若能认真读懂首句或前几句,就可以根据它们判断出文章的大意或主题,这样有助于有效地完成完形填空。
考点二 语境推测法
完形填空题的最大特点是——重点考查语境。所谓语境,就是指文章的上下文关系,它包括文章语气的一致性、意思的连贯性、表述的合理性、论证的逻辑性等。
对于记叙文,文章以叙述为主,绝大部分篇幅是作者在描述事件,较少点明作者的观点。而作者的态度及观点往往隐含在叙述中,因此,这类试题常会出现作者的态度与观点隐性的跳跃式变换,增加了情景的迷惑性和干扰性,这就要求考生在理解上下文的基础上,通过语境辨析词语,作出选择。
因为完形填空主要考查考生对语境的理解,空格的前后多有暗示(后文暗示前文的居多),所以考生在做题时,一定要从整体上把握文章内容,弄清文章的结构和文章的内在逻辑关系,结合语境辨析所给选项,从中选出正确答案。对于那些一时无法确定答案的题,考生不要仅局限于空格前后的小范围语境,要把视野扩大到全文,有时,一旦和整篇短文联系起来,考生就会豁然开朗,很容易选出答案。
考点三 上下文呼应法
上下文呼应法就是考生在做完形填空题时,必须注意上下文的连贯性及逻辑性,在了解文章大意的基础上,要按文章的先后顺序,对每道题所给词语的确切含义进行分析比较,并考虑到全文的语境,做到瞻前顾后,上下文呼应,运用逻辑思维进行答题的一种方法。
(1)注意上下文的信息提示:信息提示出现在前文时,可以直接根据前文的信息提示确定答案;信息提示出现在后文时,考生应该先把此空暂时搁置,在理解了后文意义之后再确定答案。
(2)通读全文,利用复现词语:在完形填空试题中,一些词语会重复出现在语篇之中。把握这些反复出现的词语,有利于考生确定正确答案。
考点四 文化背景,生活常识法
文化背景法是考生根据自己已经掌握的或具备的文化背景和生活常识,如科学、历史文化,风俗民情等方面的知识,对完形填空中出现的相关问题作出分析与判断的方法。
由于完形填空命题的基本形式是独立的语篇,它以自身的内容提供完整的语篇信息,因此,考生在做题时应该:1.利用英语国家的文化背景知识(包括英语国家的风俗习惯、历史事件、地理位置等);注意中西方文化的差异;简化复杂的分析与判断过程。2.结合生活常识,避免常识性错误。完形填空文章的内容与日常生活相关,因此当考生对语言的把握不准确时,可充分利用社会知识和科普知识来帮助自己判断,这就要求考生平时既要多体验生活,又要博览群书。
考点五 固定搭配,平行结构法
固定搭配是完形填空的常考点,英语中的固定搭配非常多,考生平时要熟记它们,并能够在具体语境中识别出来,从而选择正确的答案。做题时,考生要注意所填词与空格前后词语的搭配。
平行结构指的是意义相关、层次相同、句法功能也相同的词组或句子等成串排列的语言现象。这些结构的形式整齐、对称,考生可根据这些特征选择正确答案。常见的连接平行结构的词有:and,but,as well as,or, both...and.., neither...nor.., either... or.., not only... but(also)., not...but...,rather than,than等。命题者常利用平行结构表现的意义具有关联性这一特点来设空,因此,掌握这些平行结构可大大提高解题效率。

The sound of my mother preparing breakfast fills the house — my morning alarm.
As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe(食谱).
Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner.
According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent.
Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.”

B. She lives with the author in Korea.
C. She has great cooking skills.

Feeling bad after a favorite show ends is common, and it even has an informal name: post-series depression (PSD). Rita Kottasz, a marketing professor at Kingston University, describes PSD as “a feeling of emptiness and upset when something you love finishes”. This experience can be found in TV shows, books, or video games, creating a desire for more.
The idea of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, especially during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the name PSD, instead calling it “consumer saudade”, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic(怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor told her to use PSD because its widely used outside of research.
Kottasz and her co-workers published a research dividing the types of PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things ended. Common emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost “best friends”.
While PSD is often connected to TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the sudden break of K-pop band BTS(防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more influenced than older ones, partially because companies like Netflix are always giving viewers new movies and shows.
What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person’s relationship to the characters(人物). In her 2019 paper, she said a Harry Potter fan who started reading the series at age 9 and was "sadly left behind’ after the final book and film published years later.
But it isn’t quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotion. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply(暗示) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experiencing lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic(麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.
9. Which of the following is a common response among fans experiencing PSD?
A. A fresh sense of purpose for life. B. A deep satisfaction after the show.
C. A great sense of loss of best friends. D. A strong desire for a new hobby.
10. What does the underlined word “binge-watching” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Reviewing every detail of a TV show day and night.
B. Watching many episodes(集) of a TV show at one time.
C. Following the episodes of a TV show for a long time.
D. Reading a book series while watching the TV adaptation (改編版).
11. What doe Brian Kong imply in the last paragraph?
A. PSD covers up a deeper mental problem.
B. Viewers with bad feelings like drinking alcohol.
C. Watching TV is the main cause of low moods.
D. Watching TV series can make mental problems worse.
12. What might the following paragraphs focus on?
A. The solutions to post-series depression.
B. The marketing(营销) strategies of TV shows.
C. The difference between PSD and nostalgia.
D. The influence of social media on fan emotions.
D
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example seems oversimplified. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore, we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do”.
Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to achieve his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a screaming is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves.
In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players.
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.
13. According to the passage, to teach a child to learn something, parents should ________.
A. view from the child’s perspective
B. simplify each action shown to the child
C. follow the theory of imitation
D. set a good example for the child to copy
14. Which of the following situation will lead a child to seek for a model?
A. The child comes up with a solution to an issue.
B. The child is blamed by parents for his/her wrongdoing.
C. The child encounters a professional who can get the right result.
D. The child is in trouble and cannot figure out an approach.
15. It can be inferred that children usually imitate people ________.
A. whose talent and skill are extraordinary
B. whose actions are consistent with theirs
C. whom they want to be shaped into
D. who enjoy a high social status
16. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The reason for parenting by imitation.
B. The factors determining children’s imitation.
C. The significance of learning by imitation.
D. The way children choose models.
二、完形填空
I sat by the window, flipping through William Wordsworth’s poem, The Prelude. In it, he 1 a dream where an Arab horseman carries a stone and a shell. The stone 2 science, the shell poetry. Both are in urgent danger, and Wordsworth firmly believes that poetry and imagination should hold 3 importance to reason and science in inspiring the human soul.
Then, my thoughts turned to Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species. His theory 4 overturned the sense of human uniqueness, yet it revealed the profound 5 in all life.
I closed my eyes and imagined myself walking through 19th-century London. Wordsworth and I stood by a quiet 6 . He stared into the distance and whispered, “Kristine, nature follows scientific laws yet carries poetic charm.” The lake shines as if in 7 .

Back in 14 , the noise of the city outside made me realize I’m living in the present, not the 19th century. I was filled with wonder for science and poetry. They are like 15 stars in the night sky, each shining brightly and lighting our way forward.

学考必备的完形填空的体裁主要以记叙文和夹叙夹议文为主,主题语境包括人与自我、人与社会及人与自然,选材都是积极向上、充满正能量的文章,倡导至真、至善、至美的价值观。选材原汁原味,语言地道,能够传递正能量,从考生熟悉的话题中考查英语素养。完形填空主要考查实词。一般情况下,名词和动词(短语)考查的数量在2/3以上,体现了高考对词汇考查的灵活性。这就要求考生在复习备考时应重视词汇的积累,同时注意培养自己在语境中理解词义的能力。
完形填空的解题步骤
1. 通读全文,理解大意。重视首句信息,跳过空格,浏览全文,从整体上感知全文,理解文章大意,这是解题的基础。
2. 瞻前顾后,避难就易。在理解文章大意的情况下,结合各选项的意义和用法,遵循先易后难的原则,先做有把握的问题,对少数难题,暂时跳过,或许下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示。
3. 复读全文,解决疑难。借助已经补全的空格,对全文有更清楚的理解,可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题。
4. 再次复读,弥补疏漏。全部做好后,考生务必要结合自己选择的答案重新阅读短文内容,确保全文文意连贯。
常用答题微技能如下:
考点一 首句概览法
在完形填空中,一般情况下,文章第一句话会交代人物的姓名、身份或事件发生的时间、地点等,然后再介绍事件的发生、发展及结果。利用首句确定文章的体裁:如果文章开头交代事情发生的时间、地点以及人物等,这很可能就是一篇记叙文。
完形填空的首句或前几句话一般是完整的,这样便于考生理清思路,抓住文章的线索。由首句的提示及上下文之间的关系便能进一步了解短文的内容,为正确解题提供了依据。所以考生在做题时,若能认真读懂首句或前几句,就可以根据它们判断出文章的大意或主题,这样有助于有效地完成完形填空。
考点二 语境推测法
完形填空题的最大特点是——重点考查语境。所谓语境,就是指文章的上下文关系,它包括文章语气的一致性、意思的连贯性、表述的合理性、论证的逻辑性等。
对于记叙文,文章以叙述为主,绝大部分篇幅是作者在描述事件,较少点明作者的观点。而作者的态度及观点往往隐含在叙述中,因此,这类试题常会出现作者的态度与观点隐性的跳跃式变换,增加了情景的迷惑性和干扰性,这就要求考生在理解上下文的基础上,通过语境辨析词语,作出选择。
因为完形填空主要考查考生对语境的理解,空格的前后多有暗示(后文暗示前文的居多),所以考生在做题时,一定要从整体上把握文章内容,弄清文章的结构和文章的内在逻辑关系,结合语境辨析所给选项,从中选出正确答案。对于那些一时无法确定答案的题,考生不要仅局限于空格前后的小范围语境,要把视野扩大到全文,有时,一旦和整篇短文联系起来,考生就会豁然开朗,很容易选出答案。
考点三 上下文呼应法
上下文呼应法就是考生在做完形填空题时,必须注意上下文的连贯性及逻辑性,在了解文章大意的基础上,要按文章的先后顺序,对每道题所给词语的确切含义进行分析比较,并考虑到全文的语境,做到瞻前顾后,上下文呼应,运用逻辑思维进行答题的一种方法。
(1)注意上下文的信息提示:信息提示出现在前文时,可以直接根据前文的信息提示确定答案;信息提示出现在后文时,考生应该先把此空暂时搁置,在理解了后文意义之后再确定答案。
(2)通读全文,利用复现词语:在完形填空试题中,一些词语会重复出现在语篇之中。把握这些反复出现的词语,有利于考生确定正确答案。
考点四 文化背景,生活常识法
文化背景法是考生根据自己已经掌握的或具备的文化背景和生活常识,如科学、历史文化,风俗民情等方面的知识,对完形填空中出现的相关问题作出分析与判断的方法。
由于完形填空命题的基本形式是独立的语篇,它以自身的内容提供完整的语篇信息,因此,考生在做题时应该:1.利用英语国家的文化背景知识(包括英语国家的风俗习惯、历史事件、地理位置等);注意中西方文化的差异;简化复杂的分析与判断过程。2.结合生活常识,避免常识性错误。完形填空文章的内容与日常生活相关,因此当考生对语言的把握不准确时,可充分利用社会知识和科普知识来帮助自己判断,这就要求考生平时既要多体验生活,又要博览群书。
考点五 固定搭配,平行结构法
固定搭配是完形填空的常考点,英语中的固定搭配非常多,考生平时要熟记它们,并能够在具体语境中识别出来,从而选择正确的答案。做题时,考生要注意所填词与空格前后词语的搭配。
平行结构指的是意义相关、层次相同、句法功能也相同的词组或句子等成串排列的语言现象。这些结构的形式整齐、对称,考生可根据这些特征选择正确答案。常见的连接平行结构的词有:and,but,as well as,or, both...and.., neither...nor.., either... or.., not only... but(also)., not...but...,rather than,than等。命题者常利用平行结构表现的意义具有关联性这一特点来设空,因此,掌握这些平行结构可大大提高解题效率。

The sound of my mother preparing breakfast fills the house — my morning alarm.
As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe(食谱).
Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my partner and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her partner.
According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent.
Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.”
5. What do we know about the author’s mother from paragraph 2?
A. She has more than two children.
B. She lives with the author in Korea.
C. She has great cooking skills.
D. She invented the family beloved breakfast classic.

7. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Her mother dislikes being bothered.
B. Her mother expects perfection in cooking.
C. Her mother gets angry easily.
D. Her mother wants to teach her everything.
8. Which is the best title for the text?

C. Mother’s Selflessness Inspires My Family.
D. Mother’s Kitchen draws Us Closer Together.
【答案】5. C 6. B 7. B 8. D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了母亲为家人精心准备融合东西方风格的早餐,她三十年如一日地在多国间为家人烹饪,用美食传递爱,将家人紧密联系在一起。
5. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe(食谱).( 她轻而易举地烹制出一道融合了西方与东方风格的菜肴,这道美食在我们家成了备受喜爱的早餐佳品。这是我祖母的食谱。)”可知,作者的母亲能够轻松地烹饪出融合了东西方风格的菜肴,展示了她的烹饪技能。选项C“She has great cooking skills.(她有很棒的烹饪技能)”符合题意。故选C项。
6. 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent.(根据Statista的数据,大多数加拿大人表示,他们平日里为自己和家中其他人准备晚餐需要花费31到60分钟。有10%的人表示,他们准备晚餐要花一个多小时。我母亲就属于这10%的人群。)”可知,这里列出关于准备餐食时间的数据,是为了突出作者的母亲在准备餐食上花费的时间远超过平均水平,属于那10%花费超过一小时准备晚餐的人。结合后文对母亲烹饪的描述,可以推断出列出这些数据的目的是为了展示母亲对家人的爱和投入。故选B项。
7. 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. ‘Just do the dishes.’(当我准备蔬菜时,她注意到我的胡萝卜大小不一。她把我推开,自己接手了这项工作。“就去洗碗吧。”)”可知,当作者准备蔬菜时,母亲注意到作者的胡萝卜大小不一,于是她把作者推到一边,自己接手了这项任务,并让作者去洗碗。这个行为表明母亲对烹饪的细节有很高的要求,期望达到完美的效果。故划线句“Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. (在厨房里帮助她做事需要极大的耐心。)”与后文表述的意思一致,强调“母亲对烹饪的细节有很高的要求,期望达到完美的效果。”故选B项。
8. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share.( 她精心准备的这顿饭逐渐成为了一种仪式,让全家人聚在一起,增进感情并分享彼此的快乐。)”以及通读全文可知,母亲烹饪的饭菜成为了一种仪式,将家人聚集在一起,增进联系和分享。这表明母亲的厨房是家人团聚和情感交流的中心。故选项D“Mother’s Kitchen draws Us Closer Together(母亲的厨房让我们更紧密地联系在一起)”符合题意,最能概括文章的标题。故选D项。
C
Feeling bad after a favorite show ends is common, and it even has an informal name: post-series depression (PSD). Rita Kottasz, a marketing professor at Kingston University, describes PSD as “a feeling of emptiness and upset when something you love finishes”. This experience can be found in TV shows, books, or video games, creating a desire for more.
The idea of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, especially during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the name PSD, instead calling it “consumer saudade”, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic(怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor told her to use PSD because its widely used outside of research.
Kottasz and her co-workers published a research dividing the types of PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things ended. Common emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost “best friends”.
While PSD is often connected to TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the sudden break of K-pop band BTS(防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more influenced than older ones, partially because companies like Netflix are always giving viewers new movies and shows.
What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person’s relationship to the characters(人物). In her 2019 paper, she said a Harry Potter fan who started reading the series at age 9 and was "sadly left behind’ after the final book and film published years later.
But it isn’t quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotion. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply(暗示) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experiencing lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic(麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.
9. Which of the following is a common response among fans experiencing PSD?
A. A fresh sense of purpose for life. B. A deep satisfaction after the show.
C. A great sense of loss of best friends. D. A strong desire for a new hobby.
10. What does the underlined word “binge-watching” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Reviewing every detail of a TV show day and night.
B. Watching many episodes(集) of a TV show at one time.
C. Following the episodes of a TV show for a long time.
D. Reading a book series while watching the TV adaptation (改編版).
11. What doe Brian Kong imply in the last paragraph?
A. PSD covers up a deeper mental problem.
B. Viewers with bad feelings like drinking alcohol.
C. Watching TV is the main cause of low moods.
D. Watching TV series can make mental problems worse.
12. What might the following paragraphs focus on?
A. The solutions to post-series depression.
B. The marketing(营销) strategies of TV shows.
C. The difference between PSD and nostalgia.
D. The influence of social media on fan emotions.
【答案】9. C 10. B 11. A 12. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“剧终抑郁(PSD)”这一常见现象,包括其定义、名称的由来、相关研究对其类型的划分、影响人群、可能的影响因素,以及心理学家对其成因的不同观点。
9. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost ‘best friends’.(一些粉丝甚至觉得生活变得不完整了,或者感觉失去了‘最好的朋友’)”可知,经历剧终抑郁的粉丝常见的反应之一是有失去最好朋友般的强烈失落感。故选C。
10. 词句猜测题。 根据第五段中“What might surprise many people is that binge-watching does not seem to cause PSD. Instead, long-term watching may be a factor.(让很多人惊讶的是, binge-watching似乎并不会导致剧终抑郁。相反,长期观看可能是一个因素)”可知,binge-watching与“长期观看”是不同的观看方式,结合常识可推测其意为“一次性观看多集电视剧”。 故选B。
11. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply ( 暗示 ) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers experiencing lasting bad feelings, watching TV might be acting as an anesthetic (麻醉剂) for a deeper mental problem, like how some people with anxiety drink alcohol. In other words, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.(芝加哥心理学家布莱恩・孔担心,剧集结束后低落情绪(PSD)或许无法说明低落情绪与剧集完结之间存在因果关系。他表示,相反,当观众正经历持续的不良情绪时,看电视可能只是在为某个更深层的心理问题充当 “麻醉剂”—— 就像有些焦虑症患者会借酒消愁一样。换句话说,低落情绪早已存在,观看电视剧只是将其掩盖了而已)”可知,PSD可能掩盖了更深层次的心理问题,看电视只是起到一种麻醉作用,而负面情绪原本就存在。故选A。
12. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is worried that PSD might not imply ( 暗示 ) a cause and effect relationship between low moods and a program’s end.

D
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example seems oversimplified. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore, we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do”.
Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to achieve his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a screaming is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves.
In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players.
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.
13. According to the passage, to teach a child to learn something, parents should ________.
A. view from the child’s perspective
B. simplify each action shown to the child
C. follow the theory of imitation
D. set a good example for the child to copy
14. Which of the following situation will lead a child to seek for a model?
A. The child comes up with a solution to an issue.
B. The child is blamed by parents for his/her wrongdoing.
C. The child encounters a professional who can get the right result.
D. The child is in trouble and cannot figure out an approach.
15. It can be inferred that children usually imitate people ________.
A. whose talent and skill are extraordinary
B. whose actions are consistent with theirs
C. whom they want to be shaped into
D. who enjoy a high social status
16. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The reason for parenting by imitation.
B. The factors determining children’s imitation.
C. The significance of learning by imitation.
D. The way children choose models.
【答案】13. A 14. D 15. C 16. B

If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.(从孩子的角度来看。他处于一个新的情境中,没有现成的应对方法。他在寻求一种能达到特定目的的应对方式。如果他对这种情境没有现成的应对方法,也无法推理出该做什么,他就会观察一个似乎能得到正确结果的榜样。孩子会寻找一个能指导他该做什么的权威人士或专家。)”可知,要教孩子学习,家长应从孩子的角度出发,理解其在新情境中对榜样的需求,而非单纯设定榜样。故选A项。

Then, my thoughts turned to Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species. His theory 4 overturned the sense of human uniqueness, yet it revealed the profound 5 in all life.

【答案】
The Spiritual Power from Helen Keller
Among all the characters in my senior English textbook, Helen Keller stands out most, whose spiritual power has deeply influenced me. Born blind and deaf, Helen faced unimaginable hardships, but she never gave up. With the guidance of her teacher Anne Sullivan, she mastered reading, writing and even speaking, showing extraordinary perseverance and optimism.
Her story hit home when I struggled with my English exam last term. I failed twice and almost quit, but Helen’s image popped into my mind — if she could overcome far greater difficulties, why couldn’t I? I started spending an extra hour each day practicing listening and writing and asked my teacher for help regularly. Finally, I got a B+ in the final exam.
Helen taught me that no obstacle is insurmountable as long as we hold fast to hope and keep trying. This power will keep pushing me forward in my study and life.
