Ⅰ.[语篇解读]本文作者原来是一个有社交焦虑的人，但后来慢慢学会了享受慢生活。 1.D 考查形容词。作者害怕独自坐在公共场所，因为这很惹人注意，由此可知，作者觉得一个人外出吃饭是很困难的， difficult符合题意。 2.A 考查名词。根据其后提到的 food 和 menu 可推断，此处表示“我走进一家餐馆”， restaurant符合题意。 3.B 考查动词。根据其后的“看菜单”可推断，此处表示“点餐是件容易的事”， Ordering 符合题意。 4. C 考查副词。 beautifully 美好地; quickly 迅速地;carefully 仔细地; differently 不同地。根据语境可推断，由于没有人和“我”在一起，所以“我”花时间仔细地阅读菜单， carefully 符合题意。 易错警示常见的以-ly结尾的副词还有: proudly自豪地; confidently 有信心地; successfully 成功地;slowly 缓慢地; quietly 安静地; sadly 难过地; happily高兴地; healthily 健康地; patiently 有耐心地; politely有礼貌地; carelessly 粗心地。 5. A 考查名词。根据语境可推断，此处表示“还有什么食物比经典的汉堡包和薯条更好呢?”, food 符合题意。 6. D 考查复合不定代词。根据语境可知，在没有东西可看或可读的情况下，等待食物的过程让“我”感到很不舒服，表示否定的 nothing 符合题意。 7. D 考查短语。 give up 放弃; think about 考虑; work out算出，解决; make sure 确定。根据语境可推断，“我”看了看周围的人，试图确定他们没有在看“我”， make sure 符合题意。 8. A 考查名词。 joy 喜悦; sadness 悲伤; fear 害怕; hope希望。根据语境可知，“我”发现了一些能给“我”带来快乐的方法， joy 符合题意。 9. C 考查频度副词。根据语境可知，在这样一个繁忙的世界里，我们几乎没有时间休息和深呼吸， seldom符合题意。 10. B 考查连词。根据语境可推断，因为只有“我”一个人且不着急，所以“我”吃得很慢。此处是前因后果的关系， Because 符合题意。 Ⅱ. A [语篇解读]本文讲述了 David 通过制作徽章来帮助学校里的学生收获归属感的故事。 11. A 信息还原题。根据其后的“David hoped that the buttons would help the students remember that they all belonged here.”可推知，徽章上印的句子是“You Belong Here！(你属于这里！)”。故选A。 12. A 词义猜测题。画线的词是 interacting，根据其前提到的“The students in the school spend more time with each other than before.”可推知，此处表示“以前感到孤独的孩子也和其他人有了很多互动”。interact意为“互动”，故选 A。 13. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In David's eyes, everyone should give more care and kindness to the people around them.”可知， David 认为我们应该给予周围的人更多关心和善意。故选B。 14. C 推理判断题。通读全文可知， David 通过制作徽章来帮助学校里的学生收获了归属感，因此他聪明又体贴。故选C。 15. B 文章主题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了 David通过制作徽章来帮助学校里的学生收获归属感的故事，因此本文可能出自标题为“学校生活”的单元。 B [语篇解读]本文主要告诉我们要关注儿童心理健康方面的问题。 16. A 开篇方式题。根据第一段开头的两个问题可知，本文以提问的方式引出话题。故选A。 17. B 词义猜测题。画线的词是 issues，根据其前提到的“A kid's mental health problems”可推断， issues 与problems 含义相近。故选 B。 18. B 细节多选题。根据第三、四段的描述可知，选项①、②和④都属于儿童心理健康方面的问题。故选B。 19. A 文章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段是总述，引出了儿童心理健康这个话题；第二、三、四段讲的是儿童出现心理问题的成因和表现形式；第五、六段讲的是如何帮助有心理健康问题的儿童。故选项A是最恰当的文章结构。 Ⅲ. One possible version: For every cloud, there is a silver lining Hello everyone, I'm very glad to share my ways to solve the problem I met before. Two years ago, I was very shy. And I was always nervous when I talked to others. I had no friends, and I felt upset. When my teacher found out about my problem, he helped me. He asked me to be the PE monitor because I was good at sports. From then on, I often communicated with my classmates at school. With my teacher's help, I became more and more confident. I can even take part in the English speech competition in our school now. I feel very proud of myself. From this experience, I learned that nothing is impossible if we try our best. I'd like to say thank you to my teacher because he helped me solve my problem and made me a better person. That's all. Thank you! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
