You might have been off your game because of a recent failure, but your new co-workers are likely to think that your poor performance is one of your basic features. However, it’s not impossible to change how others view you. Your co-workers may have built up a certain impression of you — that you’re not leadership material because you’re too quiet, for example. You can’t expect to turn over that thinking with small actions. You need to do something unexpected. If you’ve made them think you’re quiet and never speak up, it won’t be enough to talk once in a meeting. Instead, make a point of being the first person to speak. If your co-workers have to ask themselves, “What got into him?” then you’re on the way to changing their views. My first impression of Matthew, an employee of mine, was that he was a bit lazy at work. Realizing that I was increasingly unimpressed with him, he made a move. He suggested that we get to know each other better by going to a rock-climbing gym — an activity at which he was very experienced, and I was a beginner. I depended on Matthew’s skills as his climbing partner, and his great skills showed me a different side to his abilities. Sometimes the bad impression your co-workers may have formed has nothing to do with you. About ten years ago, I met a woman at a meeting. Today, we’re close friends. But, she said that she hadn’t liked me at first. She thought I seemed “too positive”. It was only after knowing me for several years that she realized that was in fact how I was. It’s unfair when we feel misunderstood. But while first impressions are likely to stick they can — with time and effort — be changed, so that your true talents can be appreciated. 41. What does the underlined phrase “off your game” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Beaten in a sport. B. Lost in your computer game. C. Unable to work as well as usual. D. Unwilling to accept a new friend. 42. How can we change others’ impressions of us according to Para. 2? A. By questioning them. B. By organizing meetings. C. By keeping quiet. D. By surprising them. 43. Why did Matthew ask the author to go rock climbing with him? A. To push the author to exercise more. B. To get the author to know him better. C. To explore new job chances. D. To show off his climbing skills. 44. What did the woman think of the author at first according to Para. 4? A. Brave. B. Friendly. C. Insincere. D. Impatient. 45. What would be the best title for the text? A. The power of first impressions B. First impressions always lie C. Why first impressions are important D. First impressions can be changed C Children in the developed world have a lot of choices when it comes to scientific toys. In the developing world, however, scientific toys are relatively scarce. So, what’s an adult to do if they want to get local children interested in science? Well, in the case of Arvind Gupta, they show the kids how to make scientific toys from rubbish. When Gupta graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, he went on to work at Tata Motors, where he helped to build trucks. After five years of doing so, however, he decided that it wasn’t the career for him. In 2018, he took a one-year leave from his job, and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program. “The objective was to make science fun and exciting for village children using simple, low- cost materials, ” he said. “This experience had a great influence on me. I thought it was much more satisfying than making trucks.” Gupta continued to design scientific toys that children could build for themselves out of cheap or free parts. Today he is part of the four-person team that runs the Children’s Science Center. Together, they have designed about 800 rubbish-based educational toys so far. Instructions and explanations for all of the toys are available free through their Toys-from-Trash website. “Every day over 50,000 children and teachers across the world watch these videos,” said Gupta. “Thousands of books are downloaded (下载) every day and this fills our hearts with hope and joy.” One of his young students, a girl named Hamsa Padmanabhan, found the pencil toy particularly interesting. “She wrote a 12-page scientific paper on it, which won the second Intel ISEF Top Award of $2,500. Today a minor planet is named after Hamsa,” he said. “Another girl, Durga Jetty, who often learns to make toys from me, made the Bottle Turbine which won her 0.6 million Indian rupees! This is a great achievement.” Needless to say, however, Gupta isn’t in it for the money, nor for the chance to become famous. Instead, he simply wishes to grow a quality in children that he believes they all have. 46. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Not fun. B. Not enough. C. Not cheap. D. Not environmentally-friendly. 47. What was affected by Gupta’s attending the program in 2018? A. His plan for a future career. B. His attitude to challenges. C. His interest in science. D. His understanding of scientific toys. 48. What can be learned about Gupta’s Toys- from-Trash website? A. It has helped him become wealthy. B. It is in great demand. C. It has sent free toys to poor kids. D. It mainly aims to instruct teachers. 49. Why does the author mention the two girls in paragraph 5? A. To show Gupta’s influence on children. B. To encourage children to be scientist. C. To introduce the value of Gupta’s students. D. To explain how to make money from science. 50. Which of the following can best describe Gupta? A. Serious and sincere. B. Polite and responsible. C. Creative and caring. D. Productive and talkative. 第Ⅱ卷 (共35分) 第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题 (请注意问题后的字数要求) 。 As my plane landed in Pamplona, Spain, I couldn’t help thinking, “As a girl, I’m crazy about going abroad and taking classes in Spanish.” My biggest fear was whether I would be able to communicate with Spanish speakers, and how I would be able to adapt to its culture—so different from America’s, and I’m a girl. After a month of taking classes in Spanish and talking with locals, my language skills improved. When I first started, it was easy to get frustrated when I didn’t understand parts of what my professor was saying, or to feel embarrassed when I had to ask someone to repeat themselves many times. However, people often politely corrected me when I made a mistake, and also offered support and words of encouragement. My growing ability to speak the language made the frustration fade away. And it also helped me advise those with the same fear: speak as much as possible to make it disappear. Another challenge was culture shock. Coming from Seattle, where stores are always open, I had to adjust to stores closing in the afternoons and on Sundays. Plans are made much more slowly, and usually at the last minute, which for someone who values organization and certainty as much as I do, was difficult to get used to. The best way to deal with the culture shock was to change my views. I now appreciate Spanish people’s view: life is more than work, and free time lets people enjoy life outside work with family and friends. Living abroad is always frightening, especially when the language and culture are completely foreign. There will always be challenges, frustrations, and problems. However, learning to deal with them and appreciate the journey has been one of the most valuable things I’ve learned while abroad. 51. What was her biggest fear before she began her life in Spain? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What does the underlined phrase “fade away” in Para 2 mean? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What did the author do to deal with the culture shock?

You might have been off your game because of a recent failure, but your new co-workers are likely to think that your poor performance is one of your basic features. However, it’s not impossible to change how others view you. Your co-workers may have built up a certain impression of you — that you’re not leadership material because you’re too quiet, for example. You can’t expect to turn over that thinking with small actions. You need to do something unexpected. If you’ve made them think you’re quiet and never speak up, it won’t be enough to talk once in a meeting. Instead, make a point of being the first person to speak. If your co-workers have to ask themselves, “What got into him?” then you’re on the way to changing their views. My first impression of Matthew, an employee of mine, was that he was a bit lazy at work. Realizing that I was increasingly unimpressed with him, he made a move. He suggested that we get to know each other better by going to a rock-climbing gym — an activity at which he was very experienced, and I was a beginner. I depended on Matthew’s skills as his climbing partner, and his great skills showed me a different side to his abilities. Sometimes the bad impression your co-workers may have formed has nothing to do with you. About ten years ago, I met a woman at a meeting. Today, we’re close friends. But, she said that she hadn’t liked me at first. She thought I seemed “too positive”. It was only after knowing me for several years that she realized that was in fact how I was. It’s unfair when we feel misunderstood. But while first impressions are likely to stick, they can — with time and effort — be changed, so that your true talents can be appreciated. 41. What does the underlined phrase “off your game” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Beaten in a sport. B. Lost in your computer game. C. Unable to work as well as usual. D. Unwilling to accept a new friend. 42. How can we change others’ impressions of us according to Para. 2? A. By questioning them. B. By organizing meetings. C. By keeping quiet. D. By surprising them. 43. Why did Matthew ask the author to go rock climbing with him? A. To push the author to exercise more. B. To get the author to know him better. C. To explore new job chances. D. To show off his climbing skills. 44. What did the woman think of the author at first according to Para. 4? A. Brave. B. Friendly. C. Insincere. D. Impatient. 45. What would be the best title for the text? A. The power of first impressions B. First impressions always lie C. Why first impressions are important D. First impressions can be changed 【答案】41. C 42. D 43. B 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者自身经历及他人的事例，阐述了尽管第一印象往往难以改变，但通过时间和努力，他人对我们的印象是可以被改变的。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“You might have been off your game because of a recent failure, but your new co-workers are likely to think that your poor performance is one of your basic features.(或许你因一时失利状态不佳，但新同事很容易将你的低迷表现视为你的常态)”中“a recent failure”和“think that your poor performance is one of your basic features.”可知，由于最近的一次失败，你可能会不在状态，所以新同事可能会认为你的低迷表现是你的基本特征之一。故划线短语“off your game”意思是“不能像往常一样工作得好；不在状态”。故选C项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“You can’t expect to turn over that thinking with small actions. You need to do something unexpected.(你不能指望用小行动来改变这种想法。你需要做一些意想不到的事情)”可知，我们可以通过做一些意想不到的事情，即通过让他们感到惊讶来改变别人对我们的印象。故选D项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Realizing that I was increasingly unimpressed with him, he made a move. He suggested that we get to know each other better by going to a rock-climbing gym(意识到我对他越来越不感兴趣，他采取了行动。他建议我们去攀岩健身房更好地了解彼此)”可知，Matthew邀请作者去攀岩，是为了让作者更好地了解他。故选B项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But, she said that she hadn’t liked me at first. She thought I seemed “too positive”. It was only after knowing me for several years that she realized that was in fact how I was.(不过她说，起初她并不喜欢我，觉得我看起来“过于乐观”。直到相识数年后，她才意识到那其实是我的本性)”可知，直到相识数年后，这个女人才意识到“过于乐观”其实是作者的本性，说明一开始她认为作者只是表面上乐观，作者表现得并不真诚。故选C项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“However, it’s not impossible to change how others view you.(然而，改变别人对你的看法并不是不可能的)”和最后一段中“But while first impressions are likely to stick, they can — with time and effort — be changed, so that your true talents can be appreciated.(但是，虽然第一印象可能会持续下去，但随着时间的推移和努力，它们是可以被改变的，这样你真正的才能才能得到赏识)”可知，本文主要论述了第一印象可能会持续下去，但随着时间的推移和努力是可以被改变的。故D项“First impressions can be changed(第一印象是可以改变的)”能概括文章内容，是文章最佳标题。故选D项。 C Children in the developed world have a lot of choices when it comes to scientific toys. In the developing world, however, scientific toys are relatively scarce. So, what’s an adult to do if they want to get local children interested in science? Well, in the case of Arvind Gupta, they show the kids how to make scientific toys from rubbish. When Gupta graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, he went on to work at Tata Motors, where he helped to build trucks. After five years of doing so, however, he decided that it wasn’t the career for him. In 2018, he took a one-year leave from his job, and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program. “The objective was to make science fun and exciting for village children using simple, low- cost materials, ” he said. “This experience had a great influence on me. I thought it was much more satisfying than making trucks.” Gupta continued to design scientific toys that children could build for themselves out of cheap or free parts. Today, he is part of the four-person team that runs the Children’s Science Center. Together, they have designed about 800 rubbish-based educational toys so far. Instructions and explanations for all of the toys are available free through their Toys-from-Trash website. “Every day over 50,000 children and teachers across the world watch these videos,” said Gupta. “Thousands of books are downloaded (下载) every day and this fills our hearts with hope and joy.” One of his young students, a girl named Hamsa Padmanabhan, found the pencil toy particularly interesting. “She wrote a 12-page scientific paper on it, which won the second Intel ISEF Top Award of $2,500. Today a minor planet is named after Hamsa,” he said. “Another girl, Durga Jetty, who often learns to make toys from me, made the Bottle Turbine which won her 0.6 million Indian rupees! This is a great achievement.” Needless to say, however, Gupta isn’t in it for the money, nor for the chance to become famous. Instead, he simply wishes to grow a quality in children that he believes they all have. 46. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Not fun. B. Not enough. C Not cheap. D. Not environmentally-friendly. 47. What was affected by Gupta’s attending the program in 2018? A. His plan for a future career. B. His attitude to challenges. C. His interest in science. D. His understanding of scientific toys. 48. What can be learned about Gupta’s Toys- from-Trash website? A. It has helped him become wealthy. B. It is in great demand. C. It has sent free toys to poor kids. D. It mainly aims to instruct teachers. 49. Why does the author mention the two girls in paragraph 5? A. To show Gupta’s influence on children. B. To encourage children to be scientist. C. To introduce the value of Gupta’s students. D. To explain how to make money from science. 50. Which of the following can best describe Gupta? A Serious and sincere. B. Polite and responsible. C. Creative and caring. D. Productive and talkative. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Arvind Gupta放弃原有工作，设计垃圾制作的科学玩具，助力发展中国家儿童接触科学的故事。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Children in the developed world have a lot of choices when it comes to scientific toys. In the developing world, however, scientific toys are relatively scarce.(发达国家的儿童在科学玩具方面有很多选择。然而，在发展中国家，科学玩具相对scarce)”可知，前后句为转折关系，发达国家儿童有很多选择，反之发展中国家的科学玩具则不足，由此猜测划线词scarce意为“不够的；稀缺的”，和not enough同义。故选B。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 2018, he took a one-year leave from his job, and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program.(2018年，他请假一年，参加了霍尚加巴德科学教学项目)”和“This experience had a great influence on me.

After a month of taking classes in Spanish and talking with locals, my language skills improved. When I first started, it was easy to get frustrated when I didn’t understand parts of what my professor was saying, or to feel embarrassed when I had to ask someone to repeat themselves many times. However, people often politely corrected me when I made a mistake, and also offered support and words of encouragement. My growing ability to speak the language made the frustration fade away. And it also helped me advise those with the same fear: speak as much as possible to make it disappear. Another challenge was culture shock. Coming from Seattle, where stores are always open, I had to adjust to stores closing in the afternoons and on Sundays. Plans are made much more slowly, and usually at the last minute, which for someone who values organization and certainty as much as I do, was difficult to get used to. The best way to deal with the culture shock was to change my views. I now appreciate Spanish people’s view: life is more than work, and free time lets people enjoy life outside work with family and friends. Living abroad is always frightening, especially when the language and culture are completely foreign. There will always be challenges, frustrations, and problems. However, learning to deal with them and appreciate the journey has been one of the most valuable things I’ve learned while abroad. 51. What was her biggest fear before she began her life in Spain?

There will always be challenges, frustrations, and problems. However, learning to deal with them and appreciate the journey has been one of the most valuable things I’ve learned while abroad.(身处异国他乡总是令人感到恐惧，尤其是当语言和文化完全陌生的时候。总会存在种种挑战、挫折和问题。然而，学会应对这些问题并享受这段旅程，是我在国外期间学到的最有价值的东西之一。)”可知，作者对出国生活的看法是虽然令人害怕，但是很有价值，因为它教会人们如何应对挑战并欣赏这段旅程。故答案为：Frightening but valuable. 【55题详解】 开放性试题。本题为开放性试题，回答合理即可。根据题干“Are you willing to study abroad if possible?
