“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Beijing. Do you have the same problem? Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes?
One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you. They worry about your choice (选择) of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Call them if you stay somewhere else or go back home late so that your parents don’t call everybody to look for you. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you did.
Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help from you. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you get on with your children.

【4题详解】

If you read and listen to two articles every day, your reading and listening skills can be improved quickly. Why should you do this?
When you listen to people in your own language, you do not translate. You simply understand. The same has to be in English. When you learn English, you have to learn whole sentences in passages.
Students, who have the habit of translating English texts, doing exercises, and taking tests are very good at translating, doing exercises, and taking tests, but they have problems with understanding English in real life. In real life, nobody waits for your translation. If you translate, you cannot follow what you are listening to or reading because you are thinking about the language too much.
You also have to hear every new word 5 to 10 times if you want to remember it. That’s why we use the same words at one level (水平). If you read and hear the same words again and again, you will understand them and remember them. If you know words from one level, you can go to a higher level and learn new words. It is important to go gradually. This is what we do with our news. In our short news, we use words that are often used in English. Level 1 has the 1,000 most important words. Level 2 has the 2,000 most important words. Level 3 has the 3,000 most important words.
So, if you want to understand English fast and learn fast, come and visit this website www.newsinlevels.com every day. Here we have two pieces of news at three levels. We will help you learn English fast and understand it. And you can learn 3,000 words that you need for communication with anyone in English.

细节理解题。根据“When you learn English, you have to learn whole sentences in passages.”可知,学习英语时需要学习语篇中的整句话。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“If you know words from one level, you can go to a higher level and learn new words. It is important to go gradually.”可知,这里说从一个水平的单词到更高水平学习新单词,要逐步地进行,所以gradually意思是“逐步地”。故选A。

◆ “Could you give me five minutes?” VS “Go away.”
You’re really busy at work, but your co-worker needs your help. ____15____, just saying “Go away.” is certainly not proper. Instead, keep everyone happy by using the words “Could you give me five minutes?”

14题详解】
根据“...so it’s sometimes difficult to get what you want without causing frustration.”可推知,前半句应解释原因:人们不喜欢被命令。选项B“人们不喜欢被指挥做事”符合语境。故选B。
【15题详解】
根据“You’re really busy at work, but your co-worker needs your help.”及后文“...just saying ‘Go away.’ is certainly not proper.”可推知,此处应描述“当你很忙、无法立即帮忙”的场景。选项E“当你很忙、无法处理其他事情时”符合语境。故选E。

第四部分综合技能(共两节,满分25分)
第一节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按要求完成各小题。
There was a saying: “Gentlemen have peace but disagree, vile characters (小人) agree but have no peace.” This sentence means that cultivated (有教养的) people work in harmony (和谐), but they don’t just blindly agree with what others say. Common people agree easily, but they don’t really work together.
Imagine you are having a group discussion in class. You and your classmates have different ideas. Will you speak out or just agree with them to avoid argument? Sometimes people give up their ideas to stay in agreement with others. But is this real harmony? Confucius (孔子) talked about this before. In his opinion, things don’t have to be the same; people can keep their differences in a peaceful atmosphere (氛围). For example, in a chorus (合唱), different voices (high and low) together make harmonious singing—that’s real harmony.
China welcomed the idea of “harmony in diversity (和而不同)” thousands of years ago. Even before Confucius, Yan Ying of the Spring and Autumn Period first talked about the idea. Today, President (主席) Xi Jinping calls on people to communicate equally (平等地), learn from each other, and make progress together, so we can give something good to the whole world.
36. Do cultivated people agree blindly?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
37. Why do some people give up their ideas so easily sometimes?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
38. What is real harmony according to Confucius?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
39. Do you agree with the president’s opinion? Why or why not?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
40. 将短文中划线句子翻译成中文。
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】36. No, they don’t.
37. To avoid argument./To stay in agreement with others.
38. Things don’t have to be the same, and people can keep their differences in a peaceful atmosphere.
39. Yes, I do. Because equal communication, learning from each other and making progress together can help us contribute to the whole world.
40. 普通人很容易达成一致,但他们并非真正地协同合作。
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要探讨了“和而不同”的理念,通过对比君子与小人的行为差异,阐述了真正的和谐在于包容差异而非盲目附和。
【36题详解】
根据文章第1段“This sentence means that cultivated (有教养的) people work in harmony (和谐), but they don’t just blindly agree with what others say.”可知,有教养的人不会盲目地同意别人说的话。故填No, they don’t.
【37题详解】
根据文章第2段“Will you speak out or just agree with them to avoid argument?”和“Sometimes people give up their ideas to stay in agreement with others.”可知,有时人们放弃观点是为了避免争论或与他人保持一致。故填To avoid argument./To stay in agreement with others.
【38题详解】
根据文章第2段“Confucius (孔子) talked about this before. In his opinion, things don’t have to be the same; people can keep their differences in a peaceful atmosphere (氛围).”可知,孔子认为,事物不必完全相同,人们可以在平和的氛围中保留各自的差异。故填Things don’t have to be the same, and people can keep their differences in a peaceful atmosphere.
【39题详解】
本题为开放性题目,答案不唯一,言之有理即可。根据文章第3段“Today, President (主席) Xi Jinping calls on people to communicate equally (平等地), learn from each other, and make progress together, so we can give something good to the whole world.”可知,平等交流、互学互鉴、共同进步,这样能给世界带来一些好的东西,所以此处选择认同该观点,并陈述对应的原因。故填Yes, I do. Because equal communication, learning from each other and making progress together can help us contribute to the whole world.
【40题详解】
Common people“普通人”,agree“达成一致”,easily“容易地”, but“但是”,they“他们”,don’t really“并非真正地”,work together“协同合作”。故填:普通人很容易达成一致,但他们并非真正地协同合作。

第四部分综合技能(共两节,满分25分)
第一节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按要求完成各小题。
There was a saying: “Gentlemen have peace but disagree, vile characters (小人) agree but have no peace.” This sentence means that cultivated (有教养的) people work in harmony (和谐), but they don’t just blindly agree with what others say. Common people agree easily, but they don’t really work together.
Imagine you are having a group discussion in class. You and your classmates have different ideas. Will you speak out or just agree with them to avoid argument? Sometimes people give up their ideas to stay in agreement with others. But is this real harmony? Confucius (孔子) talked about this before. In his opinion, things don’t have to be the same; people can keep their differences in a peaceful atmosphere (氛围). For example, in a chorus (合唱), different voices (high and low) together make harmonious singing—that’s real harmony.
China welcomed the idea of “harmony in diversity (和而不同)” thousands of years ago. Even before Confucius, Yan Ying of the Spring and Autumn Period first talked about the idea. Today, President (主席) Xi Jinping calls on people to communicate equally (平等地), learn from each other, and make progress together, so we can give something good to the whole world.
