Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing. We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough.
Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk.
Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ?
Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class.
Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.”

15. What’s the structure of the passage?

【答案】11. D 12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了负面自我对话对学生成绩和自信心的影响,并通过Lindsay的故事展示了通过积极自我对话来提高成绩和恢复自信的方法。
【11题详解】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。第三段主要介绍了Lindsay的情况,她虽然平时学习努力,但考试成绩不佳,原因是紧张和不自信,这正好支持了第二段中提到的“负面自我对话”和负面自我对话对学生成绩的影响,即Dr. Hugh的观点。因此,第三段的目的是支持Dr. Hugh的观点。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions.”可知,Dr. Hugh把Lindsay消极的自言自语变成了积极的问题。而前文提到“During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam?”都是积极的自我对话,所以空格处也应是积极的自我提问。选项A“为什么我的答案是正确的”符合这一要求。故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions.”、“Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an ‘A’ on the final exam in Hugh’s class.”及“He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life.”可知,Dr. Hugh的方法帮助学生提高了成绩,并鼓励他的朋友和邻居在生活中逐渐摆脱负面自我对话。因此,“his method”指的是通过积极自我对话。故选B。
【15题详解】
篇章结构题。第一段首先提出负面自我对话的问题,第二、三、四、五段通过Lindsay的故事来支持这一观点,并展示积极自我对话的效果,因此,文章的结构是“总—分”的结构。故选A。

China is not only famous for its cute pandas, but also for the animal’s favorite food—bamboo. China grows the most bamboo in the world. That’s why it got the name “Kingdom of Bamboo”. Bamboo has a very long history in China. The history of Chinese people planting and using bamboo goes back about 7,000 years.
Chinese people have used bamboo in many ways. For example, the plant was once an important building material in China. People used it to build houses, bridges and so on. Even today, we can find some of such buildings around us. In the past, people also made bamboo into rafts (竹筏) to get across rivers and lakes or go fishing. Today, in some places, it’s still possible to take a ride on a bamboo raft. In the past, before Chinese people had paper to use, they used bamboo as “paper” to write on. What’s more, Chinese people have used this plant to make food, play music and so on.
Bamboo also has a special place in Chinese culture. Chinese people believe that bamboo is a symbol of good character. It grows straight and tall. It can stand bad weather. And its green color is a good example of elegance (雅致). So, Chinese people love bamboo very much. Su Shi, a famous writer of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem, “I would rather eat no meat than live without bamboo.” Do you love bamboo?

Islam Khalilov, a 15-year-old Russian teenager, saved about 100 people during the terrorist attack in Moscow on March 22 that killed 143 people. He was working part-time at the Crocus City concert hall.
In an interview with Anadolu, a Turkish news agency (机构), the teenager talked about the events, describing that day as “a typical working day”. He said that he wasn’t expecting any accidents, simply carrying out his duties. However, at 8 pm, when the third bell rang, the terrorist attack happened.
“At first, I heard unusual sounds from the first floor while I was working in the wardrobe on the basement (地下室) floor,” Khalilov said. He thought it might be an escalator (自动扶梯) problem. Then, scared people began running in different directions from the escalator and stairs. He realized it was a terrorist attack. “I started the evacuation (疏散) plan right away, directing people toward the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center next to the concert hall,” he said.
Khalilov said that the staff had recently received training on what to do during such emergencies. In such crises (危机) remaining calm and doing tasks fast and right is important.
“It’s very important to act quickly and efficiently (高效地), because lives hang in the balance (危在旦夕),” he said. Khalilov’s first move was to get people’s attention. Dressed in a hall attendant’s uniform and being a familiar face from the wardrobe, he quickly gained people’s trust. “I directed them according to the evacuation plan, ensuring order and safety throughout,” he added.
On March 25, Khalilov went to school, where he was honored (给予荣誉) in a ceremony.

Sometimes a little self-criticism (自我批评) is not a bad thing. We can learn much from our mistakes. However, too much of it may result in health problems. When self-criticism becomes too much, it can turn into negative self-talk. Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head. It says you are not good enough.
Dr. Hugh, a scientist said that some good students who study hard usually do not do well in a test because of negative self-talk.
Lindsay was one of Hugh’s best students. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hugh asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She was not sure that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk. Dr. Hugh turned Lindsay’s negative self-talk into positive (积极的) questions. During a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? ★ ?
Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hugh’s class.
Dr. Hugh saw students work out fine with his method. And he does not just help his students. He also advises his friends and neighbors to give up negative self-talk in their life. He once said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can program ourselves for failure.”
11. How does the writer lead in the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example.
C. By asking a question. D. By making a comparison.

13. Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A. Why do I get my answers right B. Who can I ask for advice
C. When should I solve the problem D. What difficulties will I face
14. The underlined words “his method” in paragraph 5 refers to ________.

15. What’s the structure of the passage?

China is not only famous for its cute pandas, but also for the animal’s favorite food—bamboo. China grows the most bamboo in the world. That’s why it got the name “Kingdom of Bamboo”. Bamboo has a very long history in China. The history of Chinese people planting and using bamboo goes back about 7,000 years.
Chinese people have used bamboo in many ways. For example, the plant was once an important building material in China. People used it to build houses, bridges and so on. Even today, we can find some of such buildings around us. In the past, people also made bamboo into rafts (竹筏) to get across rivers and lakes or go fishing. Today, in some places, it’s still possible to take a ride on a bamboo raft. In the past, before Chinese people had paper to use, they used bamboo as “paper” to write on. What’s more, Chinese people have used this plant to make food, play music and so on.
Bamboo also has a special place in Chinese culture. Chinese people believe that bamboo is a symbol of good character. It grows straight and tall. It can stand bad weather. And its green color is a good example of elegance (雅致). So, Chinese people love bamboo very much. Su Shi, a famous writer of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem, “I would rather eat no meat than live without bamboo.” Do you love bamboo?
