Ⅱ.七选五
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As your teacher passes out the math test,your palms turn sweaty.You notice that your heart has
begun to race.Glancing down at the page,you suddenly forget those operations on which you had drilled
only a few days earlier.Do you perform all additions first in a complex calculation?1 Suddenly,you
start to doubt a lot of things that you know.
If that sounds familiar,you might suffer from math anxiety.Or maybe not even researchers who study
this condition note that it can be surprisingly hard to define (math anxiety.2 After all,it's
not an officially recognized mental disorder in the way that depression is.
3 It asks things like"how anxious would you feel about being given a set of division problems to
solve on paper".Those who score high on these surveys about stress over making calculations related to
numbers will be labeled math anxious.
In general,people who panic over their math skills tend to do worse in math classes than people who
don't mind numbers.4 "Just because you're math anxious,that doesn't always mean you're bad at
math,"notes Rose Vukovic,an educational psychologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Math anxiety affects people of all ages.It can lead to poor performance in math classes.5
Throughout life,this type of stress can stand in the way of mastering skills or projects in a host of areas
that rely on calculations.But the good news is that the problem is manageable.Researchers are finding
ways people can cope with this stress.
A.But that's not always true.
B.It has an unimaginable impact.
C.And its impacts don't end at graduation.
D.Oh,you know it-well you're pretty sure,right?
E.To diagnose math anxiety,researchers conduct a questionnaire.
F.It's also hard to identify precisely how many people suffer from it.
G.Math anxiety has also been linked to negative emotions from the past.

家没有老师提供过答案。故选A项。
8.B推理判断题。文章第一段“If there is no difference in
general intelligence between boys and girls,what can explain
girls'poor performance in science and mathematics??"提出问题:
如果男孩和女孩在一般智力上没有差异,那又有什么能解释
女孩在理科和数学方面表现不佳的原因呢?接着作者谈论了
造成女生在数学和科学方面表现不佳的社会原因,由此可推
知,作者认为男女在一般智力方面是一样的。故选B项。
Ⅱ.文章大意:本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国明代戏
曲家汤显祖与英国戏剧家莎士比亚之间的联系和共同,点,并展
示了这种联系如何被纪念和展示在莎士比亚的故乡斯特拉特福
德,且说明了这种联系对于提高斯特拉特福德国际知名度的重
要性。
1.who考查定语从句。句意:为了纪念被誉为“亚洲莎士比
亚”的汤显祖,中国文化元素为莎士比亚的故乡一一埃文河畔
的斯特拉特福增添了国际化的色彩。这里为定语从句的关系
词,先行词为“Tang Xianzu”,在非限制性定语从句中担当主
语,表示人,用关系代词who引导。故填who。
2.themes考查名词的数。句意:莎士比亚故居信托基金会的
研究主管Paul Edmondson说,尽管他们从未见过面,但他们的
作品中都有共同的主题。本句为“there be”句型,为倒装句
根据谓语动词“are”可判断,本句主语为名词的复数形式。故
填themes
3.wee考查时态和主谓一致。句意:“汤显祖所写的一些内容
也是莎士比亚所关心的。我碰巧知道汤显祖的戏剧《牡丹
亭》在某些方面与《罗密欧与朱丽叶》相似。”这里为本句谓语
动词,根据句意以及定语从句时态可知,本句时态为一般过去
时;主语为“some of the things”,复数。故填were。
4.to
考查固定短语。句意:“汤显祖所写的一些内容也是莎士
比亚所关心的。我碰巧知道汤显祖的戏剧《牡丹亭》在某些
方面与《罗密欧与朱丽叶》相似。”固定短语:be similar to,意为
“和…相似”,符合句意。故填to。
5.inspired考查非谓语动词。句意:两年后,一座六米高的亭子
在菲斯花园落成,该花园距离莎士比亚故居仅十分钟步行路
程,其灵感来自《牡丹亭》。非谓语动词担当后置定语,被修饰
词“asix-meter-.tall pavilion”和动词“inspire”之间为被动关系,
用过去分词形式。故填inspired
6.was built考查时态和语态。句意:两年后,一座六米高的亭
子在菲斯花园落成,该花园距离莎士比亚故居仅十分钟步行
路程,其灵感来自《牡丹亭》。这里为本句谓语动词,根据时间
状语“Two years later'”可知,本句时态为一般过去时;主语为“a
six-meter-tall pavilion”,单数,和动词“build”之间为被动关系!
所以用被动语态。故填was built。
7.visibility考查名词。句意:Edmondson说,这些文化元素提高
了斯特拉特福德的国际知名度,并补充说,游客们穿过故居花
园时,常常惊讶于这两位伟大作家之间的联系。形容词
international后接名词形式,visibility“知名度”为不可数名词作
宾语。故填visibility
8.to find考查非谓语动词。句意:Edmondson说,这些文化元
素提高了斯特拉特福德的国际知名度,并补充说,游客们穿过
故居花园时,常常惊讶于这两位伟大作家之间的联系。非谓
语动词担当形容词“amazed”后的原因状语,用动词不定式形
式。故填to find。
9.Recalling考查非谓语动词。句意:回忆起几年前在上海观看
莎士比亚戏剧《理查三世》的中国版,并遇见前来斯特拉特福
德表演《牡丹亭》部分片段的中国演员时,Edmondson说:“听
到中文,看到汤显祖的戏剧是如何被表演的,非常激动人心。”
非谓语动词担当状语,主语“Edmondson”和动词“recall”之间
24
为主动关系,用现在分词形式担当状语:出现在句首,首字母
大写。故填Recalling。
10.and考查连词。句意:回忆起几年前在上海观看莎士比亚
戏剧《理查三世》的中国版,并遇见前来斯特拉特福德表演
《牡丹亭》部分片段的中国演员时,Edmondson说:“听到中文
看到汤显祖的戏剧是如何被表演的,非常激动人心。”空前
“hear the Chinese language'”和空后“see how Tang's play was
being performed'”为并列结构,用and连接。故填and。
Ⅲ.参考范文:
Yang Zirong,formerly known as Yang Zonggui,was bom in a
mountain village in Shandong Province in 1917.
He joined the army in 1945 and was appointed to fight against
the bandits in Hailin in February 1946.In 1947,he captured the 25
bandits alive,creating an example of killing more with fewer.In the
same year,he lost his life in the battle of suppressing the bandits.
On September 10,2009,Yang Zirong was awarded the title of"100

young people spent online using digital technologies and mental
health signs like depression,or anxiety.(这是一个很长的时间,
但研究人员没有发现年轻人上网使用数字技术的时间与抑郁

要是关于社交媒体使用和儿童心理健康之间的关系。故
选C。
2.A细节理解题。根据第二段中“Parents are really being sent a

实际上收到的信息是没有任何科学依据的。)”可知,Odgers认
为父母收到的信息误导了人们。故选A。

“社交媒体和数字技术的使用正在导致青少年抑郁和与自杀
相关的行为问题”这一常见观,点,指出父母们实际上收到的信
息是没有任何科学依据的。文章介绍了这项研究开展的过程
以及发现和意义。由此可推知,这篇文章的主要目的是挑战
一个常见观念。故选B。
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。一项新的人工智能研究对人工智
能持更为积极的态度,特别是在医疗保健领域,可能还有教育领
域。文章介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及专家对人工智能的
担忧。
5.C推理判断题。根据第一段“You've heard the predictions
from some of the brightest minds about Al's influence....unless
humanity is prepared for its possible risks.(你已经听过一些最
聪明的人对人工智能影响的预测。特斯拉和SpaceX首席执
行官Elon Musk担心,人工智能比核武器危险得多。已故科
学家史蒂芬·霍金警告称,除非人类对可能的风险做好准备
否则人工智能可能会成为‘我们文明史上最糟糕的事件’。)”
可推知,第一段提到了史蒂芬·霍金是为了证明伟大的科学
家非常担心人工智能的未来。故选C。
6.B细节理解题。根据第三段中“Pew canvassed the opinions of
979 experts over the summer,a group that included famous
technologists,developers,innovators,business and policy
leaders.(整个夏天,Pew调查了979位专家的意见,其中包括
著名的技术专家、开发人员、创新者、企业和政策领袖。)”可
知,B选项“Pew向不同领域的专家征求意见”正确。故选B。
7.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Above all,by taking data
in and spitting answers out,those black box'tools make
decisions in digital systems.It is an erosion in our ability to think
for ourselves.(最重要的是,通过输人数据和输出答案,这些

们可能会削弱我们独立思考的能力。故选C。
8.A主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But a third thought otherwise,
and a majority of the experts expressed at least some concems
over...It is an erosion in our ability to think for ourselves.
三分之一的人不这么认为,大多数专家至少对人工智能对·人

数据滥用、失业以及自动武器和网络犯罪带来的控制权丧失。
最重要的是,通过输人数据和输出答案,这些‘黑盒子’工具
在数字系统中做出决策。它侵蚀了我们独立思考的能力。)”
可知,最后一段主要讲了专家对人工智能的担优。故选A。
Ⅱ.文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了什么是“数学
焦虑症”,介绍了数学焦虑症的症状,研究人员是如何调查人们
是否患有数学焦虑症的,以及数学焦虑症对人的影响。
l.D根据上文“As your teacher passes out the math test,your
palms tum sweaty...Do you perform all additions first in a
complex calculation?”可知,当老师分发数学试卷时,你的手心
开始冒汗。你注意到你的心脏开始加速。瞟一眼这一页,你
就会突然忘记几天前练过的那些练习。在复杂计算中,是否
先算了所有加法?结合后文“Suddenly,you start to doubt a lot
of things that you know.”可知你会突然开始怀疑你所知道的许
多事情。由此可知,本句承接上文说明,上文这种发试卷时的
感受,很多人都经历过,都知道这种感受。故D选项“哦,你
知道的一一你很肯定,对吧?”符合上下文语境,故选D。
2.F根据上文“Or maybe not even researchers who study this
condition note that it can be surprisingly hard to define(下定义)
math anxiety.”可知,甚至研究这种情况的研究人员也没有注
意到,要给“数学焦虑”下定义是非常困难的。由此可知,本句
是在说明,因为要给“数学焦虑”下定义是非常困难的,所以
很难确定有多少人患有数学焦虑症,毕竟这不像抑郁症那样
-2
被官方认可为精神障碍。故F选项“也很难确定到底有多少
人患有数学焦虑症”符合上下文语境,故选F。
3.E根据后文“It asks things like‘how anxious would you feel
about being given a set of division problems to solve on paper'...
will be labeled math anxious.”可知,它问的问题是“当你被要
求在纸上解决一组除法问题时,你会有多焦虑”。那些在计
算相关数字时压力方面得分高的人会被贴上“数学焦虑”的
标签。由此可知,本段是在说明研究人员进行的一项问卷调
查,以此来诊断出数学焦虑症。故E选项“为了诊断数学焦
虑症,研究人员进行了一项问卷调查”符合上下文语境,故
选E
4.A根据上文“n general,people who panic over their math
skills tend to do worse in math classes than people who don't mind
umbers.”可知,一般来说,那些对自己的数学能力感到恐慌
的人在数学课上的表现往往比那些不介意数字的人要差。结
合后文“Just because you're math anxious,that doesn't always
mean you're bad at math,notes Rose Vukovic,an educational
psychologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
明尼阿波利斯明尼苏达大学的教育心理学家Rose Vukovic指
出:“仅仅因为你有数学焦虑,并不总是意味着你数学不好。”
由此可知,上文说明的“那些对自己的数学能力感到恐慌的人
在数学课上的表现往往比那些不介意数字的人要差”这种情
况并不总是真的。故A选项“但这并不总是真的”符合上下
文语境,故选A。
5.C根据后文“Throughout life,this type of stress can stand in
the way of mastering skills or projects in a host of areas that rely
on calculations.”可知,在人的一生中,这种类型的压力会阻碍
掌握许多依赖计算的领域的技能或项目。由此可知,数学焦
虑症的影响并不会在毕业时就结束。故C选项“它的影响不
会在毕业时结束”符合上下文语境,故选C。
