Why should anyone 6.be frightened(frighten) by a hat？” Since the grown-ups were not able to understand it，I made another drawing—Drawing Number Two.I drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that they could see it 7.clearly (clear).However，this time，the grown-ups' response was to advise me 8.to lay (lay) aside my drawings of boa constrictors and devote myself instead to geography，history，arithmetic and grammar. And that is why，at the age of six，I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a 9.painter (paint).Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves，and 10.it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.So then I chose another profession，and learned to pilot airplanes. Ⅰ.阅读理解 A When I found an advertisement for a conference by chance，I instantly told my coworkers.It looked like a great day of presentations highly relevant to our research，and I expected they would be eager to attend with me.However，no one was interested. A year earlier，I left India for the United Kingdom to pursue my research career.At work，although everyone had a say，I shied away from engaging in discussions or putting forward my opinions.I was afraid my coworkers would realize how weak I really felt.Some mornings just stepping out of my room and going into the lab seemed a tough task. Socializing didn't help，as I constantly feared committing social mistakes.I longed for new experiences，but my insecurities prevented me.I started to keep more and more to myself.That began to change after a quiet breakdown in the lab prompted (促使) me to contact the university's mental health services.The consultant suggested I attend a nearby concert by a famous singer from my home country.I approved of his idea.So，there I was in the packed concert hall，surrounded by strangers—all of us clapping and singing the choruses of the familiar songs.It was a beautiful night，and it proved to be a turning point. My growing self-confidence carried over into my work，where I started to speak up and put forward my opinions.I offered to help coworkers design experiments and troubleshoot problems.I began to ask questions during departmental meetings.I finally felt like an active member of the group.So，when that conference came around，I felt comfortable to register for attending on my own and I was so glad I did.Not only did I meet the speakers，but I also introduced myself to other attendees.The encounters inspired me to critically evaluate my own professional interests. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者曾经因害怕犯社交错误而不跟人来往，联系了大学的心理健康服务机构后情况开始变化，作者的自信不断增强，并延续到了工作中。 1．How did the author probably feel at first about his coworkers' response? A．Eager. B．Worried. C．Disappointed. D．Uninterested. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...I expected they would be eager to attend with me.However，no one was interested.”可知，同事们对作者的提议不感兴趣。再结合第一段中的“It looked like a great day of presentations highly relevant to our research”可知，作者希望和同事们一起参加，但他们都不感兴趣，所以对于同事们的反应，作者一开始可能会感到失望。故选C。 答案　C 2．Why did the author contact the mental health services? A．He wanted to solve a conflict. B．He struggled to conduct research. C．He often made big mistakes in socializing. D．He lacked confidence in a new environment. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段的第二句可知作者回避参与讨论，不敢提出自己的看法；根据第三段的前两句可知作者总是害怕犯社交错误，渴望新的体验，但是又没有安全感。由此可以推断，作者联系心理健康服务机构是因为他在新环境中缺乏信心。故选D。 答案　D 3．What happened during the concert? A．The author got the consultant's help. B．The author sang along with the strange audience. C.The author met with a previous coworker. D．The author connected a song with his research. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So，there I was in the packed concert hall，surrounded by strangers—all of us clapping and singing the choruses of the familiar songs.”可知，音乐会期间作者和陌生的观众一起唱歌。故选B。 答案　B 4．What did the author do at last? A．He went to the conference alone. B．He turned to experts for advice. C．He took full charge of the lab. D．He changed his professional interests. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“So，when that conference came around，I felt comfortable to register for attending on my own and I was so glad I did.”可知，作者最后一个人去参加了那个会议。故选A。 答案　A B Which comes first，happiness or money？Are richer people happier？And if so，how do people get much richer？A recent study could tell you the answer. The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29.Those who were happiest earned an average of $8，000 more than those who were the most depressed. The researchers，from University College London and the University of Warwick，said that very gloomy teens，no matter how tall or smart they were，earned 10% less than their peers，while the happier ones earned up to 30% more. Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school，college and a job interview，chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends，who are often the key to homework help or networking. A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August，scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women.However，the same gene doesn't appear to have the same effect on men.And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who ate seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day were the happiest. The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids，is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework？The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades.Studies do show，after all，that more education leads to better-paid jobs，which may give us a deep thought. “These findings show that the teenagers' happiness is important to their future success，” one of the report's authors writes.“But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明，快乐的人往往在长大后会变得富有，而且更容易成功。 5．What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study? A．Money often comes first than happiness. B．Rich people are much happier. C．Schoolwork can help teens achieve success. D．Happy teenagers tend to be wealthier when they grow up. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，研究发现那些对生活感觉更好的年轻人，到29岁时往往收入更高。最快乐的人比最沮丧的人平均多挣8000美元。可知，研究得出的结论是快乐的青少年长大后往往更富有。故选D。 答案　D 6．Why do happier people have more chances to succeed? A．Because they are often the key to homework help or networking. B．Because they are good at doing their schoolwork. C．Because they are hopeful and optimistic about their life. D．Because they have much time getting through the school. 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句话“Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school，college and a job interview，chiefly because they always feel better about life.”可推知，更快乐的人有更多成功机会的主要原因是他们对自己的生活充满希望，而且很乐观。故选C。 答案　C 7．What does the underlined word “gloomy” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Wealthy. B．Depressed. C．Happy. D．Glorious. 解析　词义猜测题。根据第三段画线单词所在的后半句话“while the happier ones earned up to 30% more”中的while可知，前后为转折关系，所以和快乐的人相比，不快乐的人的收入更低。可知画线单词的意思为“不高兴的，忧郁的”。故选B。 答案　B 8．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Key to Be Wealthy B．The Secret of Being Wealthier C．How to Achieve Your Goal D．The Way to Educate Kids 解析　标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明，快乐的人往往在长大后收入更高，快乐是成功和富有的关键。所以“致富的关键”适合作本篇文章的标题。故选A。 答案　A Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements all my life.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了在生活中，他人的成就对作者的激励作用以及消极作用。作者曾经受朋友赢得马拉松比赛的激励而开始跑步，但后来因遇到更厉害的跑步者和感受到跑步的无聊而放弃。再后来作者转而骑自行车，但因爬坡的困难和被人超过的打击而放弃。最终，作者意识到目标应针对自身而设定。 1．A.knew B．held C．won D．quit 解析　上文中的“I've been motivated—and demotivated—by other folks' achievements all my life.”提到作者会因为别人的成就而受到激励。结合下文的“Feeling motivated，I started running”可知，此处是指一个社区的朋友赢得了马拉松比赛，作者因此受到了激励。quit“退出”。故用won。 答案　C 2．A.regularly B．silently C．proudly D．recently 解析　结合语境和常识可知，作者受到了激励，因此应是开始定期跑步。silently“悄悄地，静静地”；proudly“得意地，自豪地”。故用regularly。 答案　A 3．A.asking B．looking C．waiting D．training 解析　由下文的“referring to a 52.4-mile double marathon”可知，作者遇到的那个女孩要参加一场52.4英里的双人马拉松比赛，因此她那时正在为之训练，故用 training。 答案　D 4．A.made B．believed C．hated D．deserved 解析　受到那个女孩的影响，作者第二天就开始跑自己从未跑过的最长距离——15 英里。根据下文的“the pure boredom of jogging”可知，作者认为慢跑无比无聊，因此其实作者本身没有跑步的意愿，所以此处可推知，作者是讨厌跑15英里的。deserve“值得，应得”。故用 hated。 答案　C 5．A.advantage B．achievement C．contribution D．influence 解析　作者遇到的女孩为52.4 英里的双人马拉松比赛训练，而作者在跑15英里的距离，因此对比之下在那个女孩面前作者跑步的成就显得非常渺小。advantage“有利条件，有利因素，优势”；achievement“成就，成绩”；contribution“贡献”；influence“影响”。故用 achievement。 答案　B 6．A.way B．risk C．place D．reason 解析　由上文可知，跑步对作者而言是令人讨厌的、无聊的，因此作者放弃了跑步，决定以后能让自己再次跑步的唯一原因是后面有大狗在追赶。risk“危险，风险”。故用 reason。 答案　D 7．A.gave up B．went on C．turned to D．dealt with 解析　由下文的“I got a good bike and rode a lot”可知，作者买了一辆好的自行车，并骑了很多次，因此作者放弃跑步后把自己的目标转向了骑自行车。give up“放弃”；go on“继续”；deal with“处理”。故用 turned to。 答案　C 8．A.heard B．dreamed C．complained D．approved 解析　结合上文中描述的作者的经历和下文作者放弃了骑行可知，此处表示在骑行方面，作者一开始梦想着参加骑行比赛，直到飞往圣地亚哥拜访姐姐。complain“抱怨”；approve“同意”。故用dreamed。 答案　B 9．A.painted B．borrowed C．bought D．parked 解析　根据空前的“I flew to San Diego to visit my sister.While she was at work one day”和空后的“went for a ride”可知，作者去圣地亚哥找姐姐，一天姐姐在上班，作者去骑行了，因此此处是说作者向姐姐借了自行车，故用borrowed。 答案　B 10．A.problem B．secret C．principle D．advice 解析　由空后的“The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time.”可知，那里的道路穿过宽阔的山谷，在那里作者要一次骑好几英里的上坡路；再结合下文的“about 100 ‘local’bikers who were used to such roads”可知，与当地那些习惯了这种路的人相比，作者不习惯这种路，这种路对作者而言是一个问题。principle“原则，原理”。故用 problem。 答案　A 11．A.dangers B．events C．opponents D．challenges 解析　作者要一次骑好几英里的上坡路，结合常识和下文作者放弃骑自行车可知，此处是在描述作者的困难，所以此处是说作者从来没有遇到过这种挑战。danger“危险，风险”；event“活动，比赛项目”；opponent“对手，竞争者”。故用challenges。 答案　D 12．A.passed B．convinced C．admired D．stopped 解析　由上文内容和下文的“by about 100‘local’ bikers who were used to such roads”可知，作者被熟悉这种路的当地骑行者超过，convince“使确信，使相信，使信服”；admire“钦佩，赞赏”。故用passed。 答案　A 13．A.reliable B．convenient C．familiar D．appealing 解析　结合上文可知，作者在骑行途中遇到了挑战，又被大约百人超过，作者受挫了，因此骑行对作者来说就没有那么有吸引力了，reliable“可信赖的，可依靠的”；convenient“实用的，便利的”；familiar“熟悉的，常见到的，常听说的”。故用appealing。 答案　D 14．A.traveled B．matured C．missed D．worried 解析　结合文章最后一句“I've come to accept...be my own.”可知，经过跑步和骑行这两件事情，作者已经逐渐相信目标应是为自己而设的，因此作者成长了、成熟了，故用 matured。 答案　B 15．A.limits B．dates C．goals D．tests 解析　综合全文可知，在跑步和骑行这两件事情上，作者均受到了他人成就的影响，但结果都失败了，故此处是说自那之后作者逐渐相信不管为自己设定什么目标，这些目标都要是为自己而设的。limit“限制”。故用goals。 答案　C 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
