Physical condition B Nelson Mandela once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” I’ve always enjoyed learning new language. So far I’ve learned 11 languages. German is the first language I started learning completely on my own. I don’t remember clearly why I chose this language to learn, but I remember I had no idea how to learn it. I spent several months reading an old grammar book found in my grandmother’s bookcase. But I quickly lost heart. Then I saw an advertisement on TV about a language series in 4 languages and decided to give it a go. While using it, I came up with my method: a special technique to absorb (掌握) the basic patterns of any language in a light, natural and fun way. I quickly realized that it was helpful to me. After using the technique for a year and a half, I met a group of Germans while on vacation. I would always remember their faces as they asked in surprise, “Wie kannst du so gut Deutsch?” This reaction and the resulting special connection were enough to increase my passion (激情) to improve my German. From that moment on, I started reading a lot. The language has become an important part of my life. The lesson learned: If you find a method that you like and works, you can start learning any language by yourself. There is no best method of learning a language. Find something that is helpful to you. And above all, experiment! 4. What does the author want to show by Nelson Mandela’s words? A. The skills of mastering new languages. B. The means of understanding foreigners. C. The advantage of speaking mother tongues. D. The importance of learning foreign languages. 5. What did the author most probably think of the old grammar book? A. Boring. B. Surprising. C. Simple. D. Helpful. 6. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The advertisement on TV. B. The basic language pattern. C. The language series in 4 languages. D. The author’s special learning method. 7. What did the Germans’ words mean in paragraph 4? A. Could you be a guide for us? B. Where did you learn German? C. How can you speak German so well? D Can you share your way of learning German? C In 2010, my mother-in-law gave me her rather simple but graceful, antique “secretary desk”. The desk easily fit into the tiny room at the top of the stairs. I felt so secure, and confident when I sat down and began each writing session. Despite the desk’s appeal, its limited storage capacity meant that I often put file folders and books on the small floor space around me. After each writing session, I painstakingly gathered the tools of the trade and placed them on a nearby shelf until the next session. A few years into my writing journey, we moved into a bigger home and I acquired my own office. My husband, Bill offered on more than one occasion to buy me a new desk for my office, but I ignored his offer. One day, we stopped at the local office supply store. Bill found what he thought was the perfect desk for me. “I want to buy this for you, sweetie. My writer needs a bigger desk. ”He hugged me. “Thanks, but I don’t want a bigger desk!” I said. “Why don’t you want a bigger desk?” he said. “You must be afraid of something.” “I’m not afraid of anything,” I said. “Like I said, I really like my little desk. So don’t ask me again.” He didn’t. A few weeks later, while working in my new office. I looked around at the folders, books and papers lying all over my office floor but couldn’t find what needed to meet a contest deadline. My heart raced. I looked around my office. The room basically swallowed the tiny desk, making it look slightly out of place. Maybe I did need a bigger desk. Was Bill right? Was I afraid of something? Unable to write, I pulled c. JoyBell C.’s book of poetry, All Things Dance Like Dragonflies (蜻蜓), from the bookshelf. I flipped through its pages, and her words about faith jumped off the page into my heart. She talked about how she had trained herself to love the feeling of not knowing where she was going, and just trusting that as she opened up her wings and flew off in an unknown direction, things would work out. At that moment, I recognized that a bigger desk symbolized bigger possibilities, stepping out in faith, and leaving my comfort zone. 8. What was the limitation of the “secretary desk”? A. It was too old to be functional. B. It competed with the shelf for room. C. It prevented the author focusing on writing. D. It was a bit small in size. 9. When did the author want to buy a new desk? A. After she was stuck in a mess. B. When she finished writing a book. C. When she moved into a bigger house. D. After she missed an important contest. 10. What was the author afraid of before? A Unemployment. B. Loss of inspiration. C. Uncertainty. D. Lack of trust. 11. What would be the best title of the passage? A. My Writing Journey B. On the Wings of Change C. My Lifelong Faith D. On the Desk of Fate D It’s said that making friends gets harder when you get older. People form their existing (现有的) friendships during childhood or at university. However, new research suggests that’s not what happens. According to a recent survey, the age group that feels least confident in chatting to strangers is those aged 18 to 24. Similarly, it was found that 59% of Millennials (千禧一代) spend more time chatting to friends on social media than they do face to face in person. The author and expert on friendship, Kate Leaver, said, “Young people are not confident when speaking to strangers not only because they’re afraid of refusal, but also because they’ve really been socially conditioned not to do it. Previous generations have a much stronger sense of community in public and shared spaces. We don’t have as much access (接触的机会) to that because the way we form our modern lives means we are less in touch with our communities. Shared public spaces like parks and libraries — places where people might get close to a stranger — are being shut down.” Laura, 27, who enjoys the company of her old friends, hates meeting new people. Most of her friends are from university days. “I’m pretty chatty and open when I get to know someone, but during that first meeting, I’m very shy. I get very anxious about what to talk about and worry that people do not understand my sense of humour.” But not all young people feel the same way. Hayley, always meets people in unusual ways and makes friends with them. “I became good friends with someone who I met on the plane,” she said. “It just shows how you can really connect when you’re offline.” If you’re comfortable with your present friendship situation, that’s great. But, if you do want to enlarge your social circle, here are some tips. Avoid unpleasant silences by searching for people with common interests — join a book club or a local sports team. If it is too stressful, there are some friendship apps that you can use. Or start a conversation with someone in a public place. 12. What can we learn from the recent survey? A. Building friendships in university is necessary. B. Teens spend less time with friends than before. C. Making friends gets harder on social media. D. Young people build relationships with difficulty. 13. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. A public space. B. A stranger. C. The sense of community. D. The social condition. 14. What problem does Laura have in socializing? A. She has no sense of humour. B. She fails to contact her old friends. C. She prefers to make new friends online. D. She is unwilling to get close to new people. 15. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Learning some skills on apps. B. Choosing friends carefully. C. Joining groups with shared interests. D. Keeping strong ties with old friends. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research shows that playful teasing between parents and their children can be a way to strengthen relationships, bring up difficult topics, and just have fun. ___16___ Carol Bishop says, “You need to recognize if they are enjoying it,” There are also rules about what is okay and not okay to tease your child about. ___17___ Instead, tease kids about safe topics, like a messy room, or things that can be easily changed.

The retired teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The insurance agent’s plants were much fuller and greener. One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm.

But, the retired teacher’s plants were not harmed at all and were standing strongly. The insurance agent neighbor was surprised to see it and he went to the retired teacher and asked, “We both grew the same plants together, I actually looked after my plants better than you did for yours, and even gave them more water. Still, my plants came off from the roots, while yours didn’t. How is that possible? ” The retired teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work themselves for it. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just an adequate amount of water and let their roots search for more. And, because of that, their roots went deeper and that made their position stronger.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在语言学习方面的方法和见解。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.(如果你用一个人听得懂的语言与他交谈，他会记在脑子里；如果你用他的语言与他交谈，他会记在心里。)”可推断，Nelson Mandela的话说明了学习外语的重要性。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I spent several months reading an old grammar book found in my grandmother’s bookcase. But I quickly lost heart.(我花了几个月的时间阅读一本旧语法书，但我很快就丧失了信心。)”及再根据第三段中的“a special technique to absorb (掌握) the basic patterns of any language in a light, natural and fun way. I quickly realized that it was helpful to me. (以轻松、自然和有趣的方式掌握任何语言基本模式的特殊方法。我很快意识到这对我很有帮助。)”可知，之后作者用一种轻松、自然又有趣的方法学习语言，这方法对自己有用。由此可推知作者觉得这本旧的语法书很无聊。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Then I saw an advertisement on TV about a language series in 4 languages and decided to give it a go. While using it, I came up with my method(然后我在电视上看到一则关于一部四种语言的语言系列剧的广告，决定试一试。在使用它时，我想出了我的方法)”可知，作者决定试一试电视广告中的出版物。在使用的过程中，作者想出了自己的方法。再根据“I quickly realized that it was helpful to me.(我很快意识到这对我很有帮助。)”可知，作者发现自己想出的方法很有帮助。“it”指的是my method，即作者的特殊学习方法。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I would always remember their faces as they asked in surprise, “Wie kannst du so gut Deutsch?” This reaction and the resulting special connection were enough to increase my passion (激情) to improve my German.(我永远记得他们惊讶地问道：“Wie kannst du so gut Deutsch?”这种反应和由此产生的特殊联系足以增加我提高德语的热情。)”可知，这些德国人的反应以及由此产生的特殊联系足以增加作者提高德语水平的激情。由此可推知，这些德国人惊讶于作者的德语说得那么好，因此他们可能会问作者为什么德语说得那么好，这是对作者的德语水平的夸奖。故选C。 C In 2010, my mother-in-law gave me her rather simple but graceful, antique “secretary desk”. The desk easily fit into the tiny room at the top of the stairs. I felt so secure, and confident when I sat down and began each writing session. Despite the desk’s appeal, its limited storage capacity meant that I often put file folders and books on the small floor space around me. After each writing session, I painstakingly gathered the tools of the trade and placed them on a nearby shelf until the next session. A few years into my writing journey, we moved into a bigger home and I acquired my own office. My husband, Bill offered on more than one occasion to buy me a new desk for my office, but I ignored his offer. One day, we stopped at the local office supply store. Bill found what he thought was the perfect desk for me. “I want to buy this for you, sweetie. My writer needs a bigger desk. ”He hugged me. “Thanks, but I don’t want a bigger desk!” I said. “Why don’t you want a bigger desk?” he said. “You must be afraid of something.” “I’m not afraid of anything,” I said. “Like I said, I really like my little desk. So don’t ask me again.” He didn’t. A few weeks later, while working in my new office. I looked around at the folders, books and papers lying all over my office floor but couldn’t find what needed to meet a contest deadline. My heart raced. I looked around my office. The room basically swallowed the tiny desk, making it look slightly out of place. Maybe I did need a bigger desk. Was Bill right? Was I afraid of something? Unable to write, I pulled c. JoyBell C.’s book of poetry, All Things Dance Like Dragonflies (蜻蜓), from the bookshelf. I flipped through its pages, and her words about faith jumped off the page into my heart. She talked about how she had trained herself to love the feeling of not knowing where she was going, and just trusting that as she opened up her wings and flew off in an unknown direction, things would work out. At that moment, I recognized that a bigger desk symbolized bigger possibilities, stepping out in faith, and leaving my comfort zone. 8. What was the limitation of the “secretary desk”? A. It was too old to be functional. B. It competed with the shelf for room. C. It prevented the author focusing on writing. D. It was a bit small in size. 9. When did the author want to buy a new desk? A. After she was stuck in a mess. B. When she finished writing a book. C. When she moved into a bigger house. D. After she missed an important contest. 10. What was the author afraid of before? A. Unemployment. B. Loss of inspiration. C. Uncertainty. D. Lack of trust. 11. What would be the best title of the passage? A. My Writing Journey B. On the Wings of Change C. My Lifelong Faith D. On the Desk of Fate 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者婆婆给了她一副古朴典雅的“写字桌”，让她感到很安全，很自信，但是丈夫觉得太小不方便工作，执意决定给她重新换一个更大一点的，作者坚持不换，觉得很有安全感。在搬进新房子之后，那个小的“写字桌”给作者带了一些麻烦，后来觉得丈夫说的话是有道理的，并且认识到一张更大的桌子象征着更大的可能性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite the desk’s appeal, its limited storage capacity meant that I often put file folders and books on the small floor space around me. After each writing session, I painstakingly gathered the tools of the trade and placed them on a nearby shelf until the next session.(尽管这张桌子很吸引人，但它有限的存储空间意味着我经常把文件夹和书放在我周围的小空间里。每次写作结束后，我都煞费苦心地收集这方面的工具，并把它们放在附近的架子上，等待下一次写作)”可知，“写字桌”的局限性是在尺寸上有点小。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“I looked around at the folders, books and papers lying all over my office floor but couldn’t find what needed to meet a contest deadline. My heart raced. I looked around my office. The room basically swallowed the tiny desk, making it look slightly out of place. Maybe I did need a bigger desk. Was Bill right? Was I afraid of something?(我环顾了一下办公室地板上的文件夹、书籍和文件，但没有找到在截止日期前需要的东西。心跳加速。我环顾了一下办公室。这个房间基本上吞没了那张小桌子，让它看起来有点不协调。也许我确实需要一张更大的桌子。比尔说得对吗？我害怕什么吗？)”可知，在作者陷入困境之后想买一个更大的桌子。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Unable to write, I pulled c. JoyBell C.’s book of poetry, All Things Dance Like Dragonlies, from the bookshelf. I flipped through its pages, and her words about faith jumped off the page into my heart. She talked about how she had trained herself to love the feeling of not knowing where she was going, and just trusting that as she opened up her wings and flew off in an unknown direction, things would work out.(写不出东西来，我从书架上拿出乔依贝尔的诗集《All Things Dance Like Dragonfies》。我翻着书，她关于信仰的话语从书中跃入我的心。她谈到她如何训练自己去热爱那种不知道自己要去哪里的感觉，她相信只要张开翅膀，朝一个不知道的方向飞去，一切都会顺利的)”可知，作者之前害怕的是那种不确定性。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“At that moment, I recognized that a bigger desk symbolized bigger possibilities, stepping out in faith, and leaving my comfort zone.(那一刻，我意识到，一张更大的桌子象征着更大的可能性，走出信仰，离开我的舒适区)”可知，文章最好的标题为“乘着变革的翅膀”。故选B项。 D It’s said that making friends gets harder when you get older. People form their existing (现有的) friendships during childhood or at university. However, new research suggests that’s not what happens. According to a recent survey, the age group that feels least confident in chatting to strangers is those aged 18 to 24. Similarly, it was found that 59% of Millennials (千禧一代) spend more time chatting to friends on social media than they do face to face in person. The author and expert on friendship, Kate Leaver, said, “Young people are not confident when speaking to strangers not only because they’re afraid of refusal, but also because they’ve really been socially conditioned not to do it. Previous generations have a much stronger sense of community in public and shared spaces. We don’t have as much access (接触的机会) to that because the way we form our modern lives means we are less in touch with our communities. Shared public spaces like parks and libraries — places where people might get close to a stranger — are being shut down.” Laura, 27, who enjoys the company of her old friends, hates meeting new people. Most of her friends are from university days. “I’m pretty chatty and open when I get to know someone, but during that first meeting, I’m very shy. I get very anxious about what to talk about and worry that people do not understand my sense of humour.” But not all young people feel the same way. Hayley, always meets people in unusual ways and makes friends with them. “I became good friends with someone who I met on the plane,” she said. “It just shows how you can really connect when you’re offline.” If you’re comfortable with your present friendship situation, that’s great. But, if you do want to enlarge your social circle, here are some tips. Avoid unpleasant silences by searching for people with common interests — join a book club or a local sports team. If it is too stressful, there are some friendship apps that you can use. Or start a conversation with someone in a public place. 12. What can we learn from the recent survey? A. Building friendships in university is necessary. B. Teens spend less time with friends than before. C. Making friends gets harder on social media. D. Young people build relationships with difficulty. 13. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. A public space. B. A stranger. C. The sense of community. D. The social condition. 14. What problem does Laura have in socializing? A. She has no sense of humour. B. She fails to contact her old friends. C. She prefers to make new friends online. D. She is unwilling to get close to new people. 15. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Learning some skills on apps. B. Choosing friends carefully. C. Joining groups with shared interests. D. Keeping strong ties with old friends. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。探讨了不同年龄段人群的社交现状，尤其聚焦年轻人在结交新朋友时面临的困难，并给出了拓展社交圈的建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“the age group that feels least confident in chatting to strangers is those aged 18 to 24. Similarly, it was found that 59% of Millennials (千禧一代) spend more time chatting to friends on social media than they do face to face in person (在与陌生人交谈时最缺乏自信的年龄段是18至24岁。同样发现，59%的千禧一代花在社交媒体上与朋友聊天的时间，比面对面交流的时间更长)”可知，年轻群体在社交中缺乏自信，建立关系存在困难。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Previous generations have a much stronger sense of community in public and shared spaces. We don’t have as much access (接触的机会) to  that because the way we form our modern lives means we are less in touch with our communities. (前几代人在公共空间和共享场所中有更强烈的社区归属感。我们却没有那么多机会获得____，因为我们形成现代生活的方式意味着我们与社区的联系越来越少)”可知，that指代前文提到的“the sense of community (社区归属感)”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Laura, 27, who enjoys the company of her old friends, hates meeting new people. (27岁的Laura喜欢和老朋友在一起，却讨厌结识新朋友)”以及“I get very anxious about what to talk about and worry that people do not understand my sense of humour. (我非常焦虑，不知道该说什么，担心人们不理解我的幽默感)”可知，Laura不愿与陌生人接触，社交时会感到焦虑。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Avoid unpleasant silences by searching for people with common interests — join a book club or a local sports team. (通过寻找有共同兴趣的人来避免不愉快的沉默——加入读书俱乐部或当地的运动队吧)”可知，作者建议加入有共同兴趣的群体来拓展社交圈。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research shows that playful teasing between parents and their children can be a way to strengthen relationships, bring up difficult topics, and just have fun. ___16___ Carol Bishop says, “You need to recognize if they are enjoying it,” There are also rules about what is okay and not okay to tease your child about. ___17___ Instead, tease kids about safe topics, like a messy room, or things that can be easily changed.

It’s not wrong to say to your child, “I'm disappointed that you got a C.”___19___ You need to examine if there is a learning disability or maybe they are depressed or being bullied. From monsters under the bed to darkness and noises, fears that may seem silly to an adult may be very real to a child. ___20___ In fact, it could make them worse.

The retired teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The insurance agent’s plants were much fuller and greener. One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm. Next morning, both of the neighbors came out to see the loss to their gardens. The neighbor who was an insurance agent saw that his plants came off from the roots (根) and were totally destroyed. But, the retired teacher’s plants were not harmed at all and were standing strongly. The insurance agent neighbor was surprised to see it and he went to the retired teacher and asked, “We both grew the same plants together, I actually looked after my plants better than you did for yours, and even gave them more water. Still, my plants came off from the roots, while yours didn’t. How is that possible? ” The retired teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work themselves for it. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just an adequate amount of water and let their roots search for more. And, because of that, their roots went deeper and that made their position stronger. That is why my plants lived”. 46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 assume confuse doubt grow like little neighbor pull safety sweep with worry There once lived two ______, a retired teacher and an insurance agent, who ______ plants in their own gardens.

One of them was a retired (退休的) teacher and the other was an insurance agent (保险代理人) who had a lot of interest in technology.(有两个邻居住在一起。其中一个是退休教师，另一个是对技术很感兴趣的保险代理人)”可知，那里曾经住着两个邻居，且本空作主语，用名词neighbor“邻居”的复数形式neighbors。故填neighbors。 考查动词。根据第一段中“Both of them had planted different plants in their gardens. (他们俩都在花园里种了不同的植物)”可知，他们在各自的花园里种植了不同的植物。且本句描述过去的动作，故时态用一般过去时，谓语用grow“种植”的过去式grew。故填grew。 考查形容词比较级。根据第一段中“The retired teacher was giving a small amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give a full attention to them, while the other neighbor interested in technology, had given a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. (退休的老师给他的植物少量的水，并不总是给予他们充分的关注，而另一个邻居对技术感兴趣，给他的植物大量的水，照顾得太好了)”可知，与保险代理人相比，退休教师给他的植物浇的水和给予的关心更少。所以需要用形容词little的比较级less“更少的”，作定语，修饰water。故填less。 考查介词。根据第二段中“The retired teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The insurance agent’s plants were much fuller and greener. (这位退休教师的植物很简单，但看起来很好。保险代理人种的植物更饱满、更绿)”可知，与老师的植物不同，代理人的植物看起来更健康。所以需要用like的反义词，介词unlike“不像”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Unlike。 考查动词。根据第二段中“One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm. (一天晚上，由于一场小风暴，下起了大雨，刮起了风)”可知，一场小风暴带来的大雨和风席卷了他们的花园。所以需要用动词sweep“席卷”。且本句描述的是过去发生的事情，所以需要用动词的过去式。故填swept。 考查形容词。根据第二段中“One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm. Next morning, both of the neighbors came out to see the loss to their gardens. (一天晚上，由于一场小风暴，下起了大雨，刮起了风。第二天早上，两个邻居都出来看他们花园的损失)”可知，第二天早上，两个邻居都出来看他们花园的损失，说明他们担心自己的植物。所以需要用形容词worried“担心的”，作宾补。故填worried。 考查动词语态。根据第二段中“The neighbor who was an insurance agent saw that his plants came off from the roots (根) and were totally destroyed. (是保险代理人的邻居，他看到他的植物连根都掉了，完全被毁了)”可知，保险代理人的植物被连根拔起。所以需要用动词短语pull out of“被拔出”。本句描述过去的动作和状态，故时态用一般过去时，且主语The agent’s plants与pull out of之间是被动关系，本空用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为复数，be动词用were。故填were pulled。 考查形容词。根据第二段中“But, the retired teacher’s plants were not harmed at all and were standing strongly. (但是，这位退休教师的植物根本没有受到伤害，而且还很强壮)”可知，退休教师的植物却安然无恙，依然挺立着。safe and sound“安然无恙的”，为固定短语，所以需要用形容词safe，与sound并列。故填safe。 考查形容词。根据第三段“The insurance agent neighbor was surprised to see it and he went to the retired teacher and asked, “We both grew the same plants together, I actually looked after my plants better than you did for yours, and even gave them more water. Still, my plants came off from the roots, while yours didn’t. How is that possible? ” (邻居的保险代理人看到后很惊讶，他去问退休老师：“我们一起种同样的植物，实际上我对我的植物照顾得比你好，甚至给它们更多的水。”尽管如此，我的植物还是从根部脱落了，而你的却没有。这怎么可能呢？”)”可知，保险代理人邻居对此感到惊讶，说明他对两种不同结果感到困惑。所以需要用形容词confused“困惑的”，作表语。故填confused。 考查名词。根据最后一段“The retired teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work themselves for it. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just an adequate amount of water and let their roots search for more. And, because of that, their roots went deeper and that made their position stronger. That is why my plants lived”. (退休老师笑着说：“你给了你的植物更多的关注和水，但正因为如此，它们不需要自己努力。你让他们轻松了很多。而我只给它们适量的水，让它们的根去寻找更多的水。正因为如此，他们的根基更深，这使他们的地位更加稳固。这就是我的植物活下来的原因。”)”可知，退休教师认为他的邻居给植物浇了太多的水和给予了太多的关注。所以需要用名词assumption“假设，认为”，作made的宾语。故填assumption。 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“The retired teacher was giving a small amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give a full attention to them, while the other neighbor interested in technology, had given a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. (退休的老师给他的植物少量的水，并不总是给予他们充分的关注，而另一个邻居对技术感兴趣，给他的植物大量的水，照顾得太好了)”可知，两位邻居照料植物的方式不同。退休教师给植物浇少量的水，并不总是给予充分的关注；而另一位对科技感兴趣的邻居则给植物浇了很多水，并且照顾得非常好。故答案为The retired teacher gave his plants less water and attention, while the insurance agent gave more water and care. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“The retired teacher smiled and said, “You gave your plants more attention and water, but because of that they didn’t need to work themselves for it. You made it easy for them. While I gave them just an adequate amount of water and let their roots search for more. And, because of that, their roots went deeper and that made their position stronger. That is why my plants lived”. (退休老师笑着说：“你给了你的植物更多的关注和水，但正因为如此，它们不需要自己努力。你让他们轻松了很多。而我只给它们适量的水，让它们的根去寻找更多的水。正因为如此，他们的根基更深，这使他们的地位更加稳固。这就是我的植物活下来的原因。”)”可知，这位退休教师的植物有更深的根，因为它们必须寻找水，使它们更强壮，更能抵御风暴。然而，保险代理人的植物被给予了过多的水分和关注，导致根系变浅，根基变弱。故答案为The retired teacher’s plants had deeper roots because they had to search for water, making them stronger and more resilient to the storm. The insurance agent’s plants, however, were given too much water and attention, leading to shallower roots and weaker foundation. 【49题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你能从这个故事中学到什么教训？答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：这个故事告诉我们，有时候，提供太多的帮助或安慰会削弱一个人抵御挑战的能力。让个人或植物发展自己的力量和韧性是很重要的。故答案为The story teaches us that sometimes, providing too much help or comfort can weaken one’s ability to withstand challenges. It’s important to let individuals or plants develop their own strength and resilience. 第二节 书面表达(满分20分) 50. 假定你是李华，因为对太空很感兴趣，想要参加一个有关探索太空的夏令营，但是你的父母却以关注学习为理由反对你参加。因此，你很苦恼。请你给英国网友Henry发送电子邮件寻求建议，内容包括： 1. 阐述问题； 2. 寻求建议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Henry, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Henry, How is everything going?
