B Nestled in the heart of a mountain village in China’s Guizhou province, there is a unique ecological family farm. It is run by Kevin Cillen, a 28-year-old Belgian who is passionate about the land. With his parents and siblings, they have combined Western farming techniques with local countryside practices to cultivate an “ecological oasis”. The family’s pursuit of their farming dream in China began in 2000, when Kevin’s mother Hetty Cillen visited China as a volunteer for the first time. The fascinating landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Guizhou fascinated her, causing her to make this foreign country her home. Soon after, his father Patrick Jan Cillen joined her. In 2017, the family rented a plot amid the forest to establish an ecological farm where they laid the foundation, leveling the land, sowing pastures and rearing lambs and chickens. The locals have openly embraced the foreigners, inviting them to festivals and celebrating traditional Chinese holidays together. In 2018, Yang Chengkai, a 34-year-old villager, befriended the family, often assisting them on the farm. “The community has embraced this family. Even the vendors at the local market contribute by giving them vegetable scraps for free to feed their livestock.” Yang says. The family farm, hidden within the dense forest, is proof of Guizhou’s ecological progress. The farm practices diversified grass cultivation for high-quality animal feed, uses solar panels for clean energy and employs rainwater harvesting systems for a stable water supply. Living in China, the 28-year-old Belgian has witnessed the country’s remarkable changes. He has also seized the opportunities of the Internet and new media to increase the farm’s visibility. Partnering with Qiu Ye, a social media influencer, he has set up accounts like “Kevin’s family in Guizhou” on various platforms. By sharing their daily lives on the farm and the natural beauty of rural China, their content has quickly earned over 700,000 subscribers. 34. What made Hetty Cillen decide to settle in Guizhou? A. Career prospects. B. The natural beauty. C. Volunteer work. D. A research project. 35. The underlined word “embrace” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by _________. A. Reject B. Complain C. Sympathize D. Accept 36. How does the family farm contribute to ecological progress in Guizhou? A. By practising sustainable way of farming. B. By creating jobs for the locals. C. By introducing Western equipment. D. By facilitating eco-tourism and green living. 37. What might be the best title for the text? A. Belgians Get Enchanted by the Beauty of Guizhou. B. Belgians Harvest a Good Farm Life in Guizhou. C. Belgians Become a Social Media Influencer in China. D. Belgians Live in a Local Chinese Community. C A report from the United Nations said that around 60 million people across the world, with 80% of them in Asia, are drinking polluted (受污染的) water. Some 4,500 children die every day because of polluted water. A report showed that environmental problems kill 3 million children under five years old each year, making them one of the key contributors in more than 10 million child deaths worldwide each year. “Dangerous factors (因素) include indoor and outdoor air pollution, water pollution, lack of good hygiene (卫生) facilities and poor ecological systems,” it said. Another study showed that parents and experts from seven countries including the United States, India and Nigeria, regarded pollution as the biggest threat to children’s natural living environment. Many parents say that children today are being brought up with fewer blue skies than when they were little kids. Mrs. Green tries to teach her daughter Susan by setting a personal example. She picks out recyclable (可回收利用的) waste and uses the water from the washing machine to flush the toilet. Chinese children mostly learn about environmental protection in school. Some non-governmental organizations and child centers also teach kids to protect the environment. “More parents have become aware of it. Family is now playing a more important role,” says a Chinese official. Vera Lehmann, an expert from Germany says many Chinese are increasingly aware of pollution. “I was surprised to find how much schools in China are willing to contribute to educating the children about environment,” Lehmann said. “There has been a big change between now and ten years ago when I first traveled here.” 38. What is the main cause of child deaths? A. Pollution water. B. Poor ecological systems. C. Indoor and outdoor air pollution D. Environmental problems. 39. From the example of Mrs. Green, we can know that she is a woman who _________. A. is strict with her daughter B. takes good care of her daughter C. likes housework very much D. pays much attention to recycling 40. Which is right according to the article? A. 80% of the people in Africa are drinking polluted water. B. Poor ecological systems are one of dangerous factors. C. The government now plays a more important role in protecting the environment. D. Some 4,500 children die every day because of polluted air. 41. What’s the best title of the article? A. Teaching children to stay green B. Children today are in poor condition C. Children died of environmental pollution D. The biggest problem in the world D “Do not get the idea that you’re anything special, because you’re not.” This is what English teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School. Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony disagreed with McCullough’s words. But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or not. In our eagerness to raise their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities. In fact, it’s not just privileged high-school students; we all tend to view ourselves as above-average. Therefore, it is of vital significance for us to learn and teach our kids how to evaluate ourselves (themselves) objectively. Inflated (膨胀的) self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it’s often exactly when we’re least competent (有能力的) at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. In a 2020 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most sympathetic in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor learners, the authors note, “lack insight” into their own incapability. Why should this be? Another study offers an explanation. People who are incapable suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their incapable prevents them from recognizing how bad they are. In Dunning’s study, subjects scoring at the bottom on tests of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated” their talents. Although their test scores put them in the 624th, they guessed they were in the 12th. What these individuals lacked was “metacognitive skill” (元认知技巧): the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing. In the absence of that ability, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to cope with this problem. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself don’t possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific. Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you’re doing, but just what it is that you’re doing wrong. If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they won’t need parents, or a graduation ceremony speaker, to tell them whether they’re special or not. If they are, they’ll already know that they are. Or they’ll have a plan to get that way. 42. The author thinks the problem that shouldn’t be ignored is that _________. A. we don’t know whether our young people are talented or not B. young people can’t reasonably define themselves C no requirement is set up for young people to get better D. we always tend to consider ourselves to be privileged 43. We can infer from the passage that those high-scoring students, _________. A. are not confident about their logic and grammar B. tend to have overly hopeful view of their own abilities C. don’t know how well they perform due to their strict self-judgment D. are more strict in their self-evaluations because of their proper meta cognitive skills 44. The strategies of avoiding overestimation suggest that _________. A. the best way to recognize excellence is to study past success and failure B. through comparison with others, one will know where and when he fails C. we need internal honesty with ourselves and external honesty from others D. neither parents nor a graduation ceremony speaker can tell whether one is special 45. Which can be the best title of this passage? A. Special or Not? Teach Kids To Figure It Out B. Let’s Admit That, We Are Not That Special C. Tips On Making Ourselves More Special D. Tell The Truth: Kids Overestimate their Talents Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共25分） 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university. I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master's degree in IT. At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up. Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day. I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation. When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary. 46. Why did the author's family and friends say that it was hard for him to pursue a master's degree in IT? (no more than 8 words) 47. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 5 words) 48. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words) 49. What made the author graduate with a higher GPA and a good job offer? (no more than 15 words) 50. How does the author's story inspire you? (no more than 25 words) 第二节：书面表达（满分15分） 51. 为了帮助中学生健康成长，某中学英文报开辟了“HEART-TO-HEART”专栏。假设你是该栏目的编辑Jessica，收到一封署名为Worried的求助信。信中该同学向你诉说了自己的困扰：高中学习压力较大，导致自己近期比较焦虑且容易发脾气，从而影响了正常的学习和生活。请用英文给该同学写一封回信。 内容要点如下：1. 表示理解并给予安慰；2. 提出建议并说明理由。 注意：1．词数80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Worried, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Jessica 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天津市第五十五中学2025-2026学年度第一学期高二年级 第一次学情调研 英语 Ⅰ卷 选择题（共75分） 第一节 听力（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 1.

Don’t jump to conclusions C. Don’t mention it D. You have a point 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——孩子们不应该看暴力电影。——你说得有道理。他们倾向于模仿他们所看到的。A. I have no idea我不知道；B. Don’t jump to conclusions不要急于下结论；C. Don’t mention it不客气；D. You have a point你说得有道理。根据“They tend to imitate what they have seen.”可知，表示认同对方“孩子不应接触暴力电影”的观点。故选D。 2.

A. leaves; should have got B. will leave; should get C. leaves; should get D. will leave; should have got 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查一般现在时表将来以及should的用法。句意：根据时刻表，火车明天早上8点出发，所以你最迟应该在7点30分到达车站。一般现在时，在表示按时刻表、日程表等安排好的将来的动作时，常用一般现在时表将来，第一个空中火车按时刻表运行属于这种情况，第一个空句子主语是the train，所以用“leaves”合理。第二个空中，should是情态动词，表示建议或应当做的事，意为“应该”，后接动词原形，此处是对于发车时间的情况，给出的出发时刻建议，所以用should get符合语意。故选C项。 3. The fitness room built last year is the biggest one in my city, but I _________ there since I _________ ill. A. haven’t been; had been B. hadn’t been; was C. haven’t been; was D. hadn’t been; had been 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：去年建成的健身房是我市最大的，但自从我生病后就没去过那里了。第一空根据since引导的时间状语从句可知，此处使用现在完成时，强调动作从过去持续到现在，主语为第一人称，所以谓语动词为haven’t been；第二空“since”引导的时间状语从句中，需用一般过去时表示“过去某个时间点发生的动作”，所以第二空为谓语动词was。故选C项。 4. Sitting in the lecture hall ________ a group of eager students, ________ attention was focused on the expert as he delivered a speech on the latest development of AI. A. were, their B. was, whose C. was, their D. were, whose 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查主谓一致和定语从句。句意：演讲厅里坐着一群热切的学生，他们的注意力都集中在这位专家关于人工智能最新发展的演讲上。“Sitting in the lecture hall ________ a group of eager students”是倒装句，a group of eager students是句子的主语，表示“一群热切的学生”，是复数含义，系动词用复数形式were；“ ________ attention was focused on the expert as he delivered a speech on the latest development of AI.”是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词students，指人，关系词将其代入定语从句修饰名词attention，用表示所属关系的关系代词whose作定语。故选D项。 5. Passengers to New York remain at the airport due to the increasingly heavy fog. A. to be stuck B. sticking C. stuck D. being stuck 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】remain连系动词，stuck是过去分词在句中作表语，表示一种状态，意思是“滞留在……，困在……”。故选C。 6. _______ drugs, as we all know, sometimes may suck the life right out of a person. A. Addicted to B. Being addicted to C. Be addicted to D. Having addicted 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：众所周知，吸毒成瘾有时可能会把人的生命榨干。分析句子结构可知，横线处填入的是本句的主语，且表示“吸毒成瘾”应用be addicted to ，故用其动名词形式作为主语。故选B项。 7. She didn’t expect the great trouble she had ________ the problem ________ currently. A. to solve; discussing B. solving; to be discussed C. to solve; discussed D. solving; being discussed 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型和非谓语动词。句意：她没有预料到解决目前正在讨论的问题会遇到这么大的麻烦。分析句子可知，“she had ________ the problem ________ currently”是省略关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词trouble，先行词在定语从句中充当宾语，即she had (trouble) ________ the problem ________ currently；have trouble (in) doing...是固定句型，意为“做某事有困难”，第一空处用动名词solving作宾语；discuss作后置定语修饰名词problem，与其逻辑主语problem之间是被动关系，结合时间状语currently可知，是当前正在讨论的问题，用现在分词的被动式being discussed作后置定语。故选D项。 8. Air pollution is ________ most people in developing countries are concerned about nowadays, because their heath is being threatened. A. which B. how C. that D. what 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查表语从句。句意：空气污染是现在发展中国家大多数人关心的问题，因为他们的健康受到威胁。空处引导名词性从句作表语，表语从句about后缺少宾语，结合“Air pollution”可知，宾语指物，应用连接代词what作引导词。故选D。 9. We are very _______ of what you have done to help us out of the trouble.

It is run by Kevin Cillen, a 28-year-old Belgian who is passionate about the land. With his parents and siblings, they have combined Western farming techniques with local countryside practices to cultivate an “ecological oasis”. The family’s pursuit of their farming dream in China began in 2000, when Kevin’s mother Hetty Cillen visited China as a volunteer for the first time. The fascinating landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Guizhou fascinated her, causing her to make this foreign country her home. Soon after, his father Patrick Jan Cillen joined her. In 2017, the family rented a plot amid the forest to establish an ecological farm where they laid the foundation, leveling the land, sowing pastures and rearing lambs and chickens. The locals have openly embraced the foreigners, inviting them to festivals and celebrating traditional Chinese holidays together. In 2018, Yang Chengkai, a 34-year-old villager, befriended the family, often assisting them on the farm. “The community has embraced this family. Even the vendors at the local market contribute by giving them vegetable scraps for free to feed their livestock.” Yang says. The family farm, hidden within the dense forest, is proof of Guizhou’s ecological progress. The farm practices diversified grass cultivation for high-quality animal feed, uses solar panels for clean energy and employs rainwater harvesting systems for a stable water supply. Living in China, the 28-year-old Belgian has witnessed the country’s remarkable changes. He has also seized the opportunities of the Internet and new media to increase the farm’s visibility. Partnering with Qiu Ye, a social media influencer, he has set up accounts like “Kevin’s family in Guizhou” on various platforms. By sharing their daily lives on the farm and the natural beauty of rural China, their content has quickly earned over 700,000 subscribers. 34. What made Hetty Cillen decide to settle in Guizhou? A. Career prospects. B. The natural beauty. C. Volunteer work. D. A research project. 35. The underlined word “embrace” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by _________. A. Reject B. Complain C. Sympathize D. Accept 36. How does the family farm contribute to ecological progress in Guizhou? A. By practising sustainable way of farming. B. By creating jobs for the locals. C. By introducing Western equipment. D. By facilitating eco-tourism and green living. 37. What might be the best title for the text? A. Belgians Get Enchanted by the Beauty of Guizhou. B. Belgians Harvest a Good Farm Life in Guizhou. C. Belgians Become a Social Media Influencer in China. D. Belgians Live in a Local Chinese Community. 【答案】34 B 35. D 36. A 37.

It is run by Kevin Cillen, a 28-year-old Belgian who is passionate about the land. With his parents and siblings, they have combined Western farming techniques with local countryside practices to cultivate an “ecological oasis”. (坐落在中国贵州省一个山村的中心，有一个独特的生态家庭农场。它由28岁的比利时人Kevin Cillen经营，他对这片土地充满热情。他们与父母和兄弟姐妹一起，将西方农业技术与当地农村实践相结合，培育出一片“生态绿洲”)”以及纵观全文可知，文章围绕比利时人希伦一家在贵州创办生态农场展开，讲述了他们的创业历程、与当地村民的友好互动、可持续的耕作方式以及通过新媒体获得的成功，所以B项“比利时人在贵州收获美好的农场生活”可以概括全文的主题，适合作为本文最好的标题。故选B项。 C A report from the United Nations said that around 60 million people across the world, with 80% of them in Asia, are drinking polluted (受污染的) water. Some 4,500 children die every day because of polluted water. A report showed that environmental problems kill 3 million children under five years old each year, making them one of the key contributors in more than 10 million child deaths worldwide each year. “Dangerous factors (因素) include indoor and outdoor air pollution, water pollution, lack of good hygiene (卫生) facilities and poor ecological systems,” it said. Another study showed that parents and experts from seven countries including the United States, India and Nigeria, regarded pollution as the biggest threat to children’s natural living environment. Many parents say that children today are being brought up with fewer blue skies than when they were little kids. Mrs. Green tries to teach her daughter Susan by setting a personal example. She picks out recyclable (可回收利用的) waste and uses the water from the washing machine to flush the toilet. Chinese children mostly learn about environmental protection in school. Some non-governmental organizations and child centers also teach kids to protect the environment. “More parents have become aware of it. Family is now playing a more important role,” says a Chinese official. Vera Lehmann, an expert from Germany says many Chinese are increasingly aware of pollution. “I was surprised to find how much schools in China are willing to contribute to educating the children about environment,” Lehmann said. “There has been a big change between now and ten years ago when I first traveled here.” 38. What is the main cause of child deaths? A. Pollution water. B. Poor ecological systems. C. Indoor and outdoor air pollution D. Environmental problems. 39. From the example of Mrs. Green, we can know that she is a woman who _________. A is strict with her daughter B. takes good care of her daughter C. likes housework very much D. pays much attention to recycling 40. Which is right according to the article? A. 80% of the people in Africa are drinking polluted water. B. Poor ecological systems are one of dangerous factors. C. The government now plays a more important role in protecting the environment. D. Some 4,500 children die every day because of polluted air. 41. What’s the best title of the article? A. Teaching children to stay green B. Children today are in poor condition C. Children died of environmental pollution D. The biggest problem in the world 【答案】38. D 39. D 40. B 41. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章引用联合国等机构的报告，指出全球环境污染对儿童健康构成严重威胁。同时，文章还介绍了不同国家和地区对儿童环保教育的举措。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A report showed that environmental problems kill 3 million children under five years old each year, making them one of the key contributors in more than 10 million child deaths worldwide each year. (一份报告显示，环境问题每年导致300万5岁以下儿童死亡，是全球每年1000多万儿童死亡的主要原因之一。)”可知，环境问题是儿童死亡的主要原因。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Mrs. Green tries to teach her daughter Susan by setting a personal example. She picks out recyclable (可回收利用的) waste and uses the water from the washing machine to flush the toilet. (格林夫人试图以身作则教育女儿苏珊。她会挑选出可回收垃圾，并使用洗衣机的废水冲厕所。)”可知，格林夫人注重回收利用，通过实际行动践行环保。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Dangerous factors (因素) include indoor and outdoor air pollution, water pollution, lack of good hygiene (卫生) facilities and poor ecological systems (危险因素包括室内外空气污染、水污染、缺乏良好的卫生设施以及不良的生态系统)”可知，不良生态系统是危险因素之一，选项B表述正确。故选B。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇指出环境污染对儿童的致命威胁，随后重点介绍了不同国家通过家庭（格林夫人）、学校、非政府组织等途径对儿童进行环保教育的情况，核心围绕“教育儿童环保”展开。选项A“教育儿童践行环保”能全面概括主旨，适合用作标题。故选A。 D “Do not get the idea that you’re anything special, because you’re not.” This is what English teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School. Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony disagreed with McCullough’s words. But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or not. In our eagerness to raise their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities. In fact, it’s not just privileged high-school students; we all tend to view ourselves as above-average. Therefore, it is of vital significance for us to learn and teach our kids how to evaluate ourselves (themselves) objectively. Inflated (膨胀的) self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it’s often exactly when we’re least competent (有能力的) at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. In a 2020 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most sympathetic in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor learners, the authors note, “lack insight” into their own incapability. Why should this be? Another study offers an explanation. People who are incapable suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their incapable prevents them from recognizing how bad they are. In Dunning’s study, subjects scoring at the bottom on tests of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated” their talents. Although their test scores put them in the 624th, they guessed they were in the 12th. What these individuals lacked was “metacognitive skill” (元认知技巧): the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing. In the absence of that ability, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to cope with this problem. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself don’t possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific. Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you’re doing, but just what it is that you’re doing wrong. If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they won’t need parents, or a graduation ceremony speaker, to tell them whether they’re special or not. If they are, they’ll already know that they are. Or they’ll have a plan to get that way. 42. The author thinks the problem that shouldn’t be ignored is that _________. A. we don’t know whether our young people are talented or not B. young people can’t reasonably define themselves C. no requirement is set up for young people to get better D. we always tend to consider ourselves to be privileged 43. We can infer from the passage that those high-scoring students, _________. A. are not confident about their logic and grammar B. tend to have overly hopeful view of their own abilities C. don’t know how well they perform due to their strict self-judgment D. are more strict in their self-evaluations because of their proper meta cognitive skills 44. The strategies of avoiding overestimation suggest that _________. A. the best way to recognize excellence is to study past success and failure B. through comparison with others, one will know where and when he fails C. we need internal honesty with ourselves and external honesty from others D. neither parents nor a graduation ceremony speaker can tell whether one is special 45. Which can be the best title of this passage? A. Special or Not? Teach Kids To Figure It Out B. Let’s Admit That, We Are Not That Special C. Tips On Making Ourselves More Special D. Tell The Truth: Kids Overestimate their Talents 【答案】42. B 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了以年轻人为代表的普遍存在的自我评价过高现象。作者指出，由于缺乏元认知能力，能力不足的人往往无法准确评估自己的表现。文章提出了两种解决策略：与他人进行诚实比较，以及寻求频繁、准确、具体的反馈。最后强调，应该教会孩子们这些方法，让他们能够客观评估自己是否真的“特别”。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or not. In our eagerness to raise their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities.(但在愤怒和抗议中迷失的是我们真的应该牢记在心的事情：我们的年轻人实际上不知道他们是否特别有才华。我们急于提高他们的自尊心，却忘记了教他们如何现实地评估自己的能力)”可知，作者认为不应忽视的问题是“我们的年轻人实际上不知道他们是否特别有才华，我们也忘记教他们如何客观评估自己”。由此可知，年轻人无法合理地定义自己。故选B项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。第二段中的“Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most sympathetic in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. (以教育为例，在论文测试中得分最低的医科学生在自我评价中最具同情心，而得分高的学生对自己的评价要严格得多)”提及高分学生对自己评价更严格，结合第三段内容“Although their test scores put them in the 624th, they guessed they were in the 12th. What these individuals lacked was “metacognitive skill” (元认知技巧): the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing.(尽管他们的考试成绩排在第624位，但他们却自认为排在第12位。这些人缺乏的是“元认知技能”：监控他们表现得有多好（或有多差）的能力)”讲到低分学生的自我评估过高，是因为他们缺乏“元认知技能”。由此推知，高分学生自我评估更严格是因为其具备良好的元认知技能。故选D项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others.(首先，我们可以学会与他人进行诚实的比较)”以及“Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific.(其次，寻求频繁、准确和具体的反馈)”可知，避免“过度自我评估”的策略是既要对自己诚实，客观正视自身与优秀者的差距，还要获取他人真实、具体的评价，即外在的诚实。故选C项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读文章可知，文章首段内容“But lost in the anger and protest was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re particularly talented or not.(但在愤怒和抗议中迷失的是我们真的应该牢记在心的事情：我们的年轻人实际上不知道他们是否特别有才华)”以及“Therefore, it is of vital: significance for us to learn and teach our kids how to evaluate ourselves (themselves) objectively.(因此，对于我们来说，教导孩子学会客观地评价自己是非常重要的)”提出了核心话题“年轻人无法客观评估自己，我们要教导年轻人学会客观评价自己”，同时在后文分析了原因和提供了策略。由此可知，A项“Special or Not? Teach Kids To Figure It Out(特别还是不特别？教孩子们弄清楚)”贴合主题，可作最佳标题。故选A项。 Ⅱ卷 非选择题（共25分） 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India, I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master's degree in IT and graduate from a US university. I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so fascinated with the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind in chasing a master's degree in IT. At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up. Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans' accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day. I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.
