One morning I was running late for a meeting, and I passed a friend in the hallway. My friend 1 me, “How are you doing?” But I didn’t give the 2 response “Good, how about you?” I started to complain about the traffic, poor visibility in the rain and everything else about my 3 trip.
Instead of sympathy, he asked me a question, “How do you know if the powers of fate (命运) didn’t create those roadblocks?” The 4 was that I might be just spared something much worse than being late to a meeting.

A few days later, she put her video skills to use, sharing a video online that highlighted the new 2 (hobby) she’d found time to take up after being laid off. The video struck a chord, 3 (score) thousands of likes, and prompting a flood of recruiters to get in touch.

“The dog is not a fit for my family and we have to put her down,” my co-worker said. I decided it would have a home with us. After work, I drove to pick her up. For me, it was love at first sight. The very thin dog, Lady, had perfect markings, a delicate face, but the saddest eyes. Seeing her licking (舔) the injured paw, I said, “I’m taking you to your new home with my family who will always love you.”
Mom was waiting with delicious dog treats. We led Lady to our family room where my mom had placed a huge comforter on the floor just for her. But she retreated to our kitchen and continued to lick her paw. She remained distant for weeks.
Then one day, something miraculous happened. Mom locked the doors, and sat on the kitchen floor talking with Lady. Hours later, Lady’s paw was wrapped, and they walked out side by side. When I asked mom how this miracle took place, she smiled and said, “I just told her even humans have to accept different walks in life, and sometimes those walks take us on the best paths.”
It was as though Lady did understand my mom’s words of acceptance. That moment defined Lady’s path, not just as a guide dog but as the nanny dog of our home. We had a playmate and protector who shared our secrets, laughs, and tears. Every night, Lady made her rounds, checking to see that we were asleep. Only then would she rest.
Years passed and I found myself suffering from a stressful career. I felt like a failure moving back to my mother’s home. It was not the path I had expected.
While sitting in the kitchen, mum shared an album filled with photos of Lady with our family. It captured years of beautiful memories. Mom reminded me of the day that Lady accepted her new path in life, which was not the one she expected. Yet, that new path was ultimately best for her. This special guide dog taught me to accept my new direction.
24. How did Lady behave when she first got to the author’s home?
A. It stayed away from the family.
B. It settled down on the comforter.
C. It enjoyed the delicious dog food.
D. It showed her love to the new house.
25. What changed Lady at the author’s home?
A. The treats mom offered.
B. The duty of a guide dog.
C. The conversation with mom.
D. The recovery from the injury.
26. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. There are no shortcuts in our life.
B. We choose our path by taking actions.
C. Expectations are the key to everything.
D. We have to let go in order to move forward.

Golf has a length problem. The farther players drive the ball, the longer holes need to be, so that skills like iron play and putting(打球入洞) remain important. But the longer courses are, the more they cost to maintain and the worse their environmental impact. They also become more daunting for recreational golfers, who keep them in business.
In 2004, golf’s regulators introduced limits on the size of clubs(球杆), hoping to slow the trend of ever-longer drives. Nonetheless, the pin-flation has continued quickly. On November 15th a famous record tumbled(下跌): someone completed the Masters Tournament in fewer than 270 strokes, the mark Tiger Woods set when he won his first major title in 1997. The new low of 268 belongs to Dustin Johnson, who has averaged more than 300 yards a pop throughout his career. He achieved the feat even though the Augusta National course is 8% longer than in 1997.
How have golfers continued to blast the ball farther than ever? The PGA Tour publishes ball-tracking statistics, which suggest that, although better equipment may have helped, players’ recent gains stem largely from their technique—and even bigger improvements now appear inevitable.
The data come from ShotLink, a system that tracks how fast a golfer swings (“clubhead speed”), his ball’s trajectory(“launch angle”) and its rotation speed (“spin rate”). A statistical model using these metrics was built to predict driving distances. Together, the three factors explained 70% of the differences between players’ distances, and almost all of the increase in length over time.
The model’s lessons are intuitive. To thump the ball as far as possible, one should maximise clubhead speed and launch angle while minimising spin. However, most players face a trade-off between these goals. Harder impacts usually mean flatter trajectories.
One golfer, however, has escaped this constraint. Bryson DeChambeau, a physics graduate with oddly designed club, is nicknamed the “Mad Scientist”. He gained 18kg of weight while the PGA Tour was suspended. This has allowed him to swing faster than anyone else. But he has also managed to smash the ball with a high launch angle—an unprecedented combination that might owe something to his unusually stiff wrists and robotic technique. Using both his brains and his brawn, Mr DeChambeau is now hitting 15 yards farther than his closest competitors do.
Mark Broadie, a golf statistician, reckons that other professionals will try to beef up. But golf history is full of players who lost their edge after making small changes to their swings. And time may yet show that the risks of Mr DeChambeau’s bombs-away approach offset some of the rewards. He strayed into the rough(球场长草区) often at the Masters.
Nonetheless, the Mad Scientist’s breakthrough is bad news for course designers. They will probably have to keep fiddling with their fairways on the golf courses for years to come.
27. The author mentions Tiger Woods in Paragraph 2 to show ______.
A. golf drives are increasingly farther B. the number of records is falling
C. game time is lengthening gradually D. golf courses are growing longer
28. Recent golfers’ improving performance is mainly the result of _______.
A. finer equipment. B. longer courses. C. larger build. D. better techniques.
29. What can we know about Bryson DeChambeau?
A. He has invented the never-failing bombs-away approach.
B. He is a golf statistician who spends a lot of time in the gym.
C. He actively urges course designers to update the golf courses.
D. He has managed to swing the ball fast without flatter trajectories.
30. Which would Mark Broadie most likely to agree with?
A. Changes to the swing shall be made with great caution.
B. Longer courses will cause more problems than benefits.
C. Professionals should follow Mr DeChambeau’s lead.
D. Other golfers should be brave
D
The idea that we have brains hardwired with a mental module for learning grammar—famously supported by Noam Chomsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology—has dominated linguistics (语言学) for almost half a century. Recently, though, evidence has overtaken Chomsky’s “universal grammar” theory.
In Chomsky’s first version of his theory put forward in the mid-20th century, the languages people use to communicate in everyday life behaved like mathematically-based languages of the newly emerging field of computer science. A computer-like program could produce sentences real people thought were grammatical. As Chomsky was developing his computational theories, he was also proposing that they were rooted in human biology. His universal grammar was put forward as an inborn component of the human mind—and it promised to reveal the deep biological foundations of the world’s 6,000-plus human languages. So this theory held immediate appeal.
Yet much research now suggests that language acquisition does not take place as Chomsky’s theory explains. Learning of a child’s first language does not rely on an inborn grammar module. Instead the new research shows that young children use various types of thinking that may not be specific to language at all—such as the ability to classify the world into categories (people or objects, for instance) and to understand the relations among things. These capabilities, coupled with a unique human ability to grasp what others intend to communicate, allow language to happen.
For instance, English-speaking children understand “The cat ate the rabbit,” and through analogy they also understand “The lion tickled the goat.” They generalize from hearing one example to another. After enough examples of this kind, they might even be able to guess who did what to whom in the sentence “The gazzer mibbed the toma,” even though some of the words are literally meaningless.
Chomsky has allowed us to see new things, but also blinded us to other aspects of language. In linguistics fields, many researchers are becoming ever more dissatisfied with a totally formal language approach such as universal grammar. Moreover, many modern researchers are also unhappy with armchair theoretical analyses, when there are large collections of linguistic data—many now available online—that can be analyzed to test a theory.
There are exciting new discoveries to be made by investigating the details of the world’s different languages, how they are similar to and different from one another, how they change historically, and how young children acquire competence in one or more of them. Universal grammar appears to have been inching toward a death for years. It is dying so slowly because, as physicist Max Planck once noted, older scholars tend to hang on to the old ways: “Science progresses one funeral at a time.”
31. What can we learn about Chomsky’s theory from the passage?
A. Categorizing ability is rooted in the human mind.
B. Humans are programmed with a grammar module.
C. Communication intention makes language emerge.
D. Computer science contributes to language learning.
32. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 4?
A. To highlight the right aspect of Chomsky’s theory.
B. To present kids’ difficulty in learning English language.
C. To prove kids learn language without an inborn module.
D. To uncover the inner mechanism in language acquisition.
33. How does the author think of Chomsky’s “universal grammar” theory?
A. Faulty. B. Stable. C. Worthless. D. Appealing.
34. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Should Linguistic Data Be Used to Test a Theory?
B. Can Children Acquire Language in an Easier Way?
C. Will Chomsky’s Universal Grammar Be Replaced?
D. Does Chomsky’s Theory Help Language Acquisition?

Have you ever laid awake at night, thinking about decisions you made earlier that day or planning for the tasks you face tomorrow? You probably often find yourself locked in this tricky cycle of thoughtfulness if you’re overtired. 35 This is a survival response that helps us to stay awake when in danger, no matter how tired we are.
Our beds, however, tend to be a comfortable, quiet, and safe place. 36 A notable 2007 study found that the longer humans go without sleep, the harder it is for us to regulate our emotions. The result showed that the emotion centers of sleep-deprived brains are more reactive to stimuli compared to rested brains. It’s almost as though, without sleep, the brain had fallen back to more primitive patterns of activity. 37
It is, nowadays, normal to fall victim to this pattern. Our incessantly “on,” hyper-connected existence can make us overtired. Work emails at all hours, rapid-fire news reports, and social media notifications leave our brains little chance to relax during the day. 38 A study published last fall found that a peaceful one-hour walk in nature free from other distractions soothes activity in the amygdala, the primary brain area that processes emotions, including fear and anxiety.
Also helpful is adopting good sleep routine. After all, poor sleep also makes us overtired, a cruel feedback circle. If possible, reduce the distractions you face at least an hour before bedtime, particularly from technological sources. Importantly, this winding down process should not occur in bed. It’s all about managing what’s called “stimulus control”. 39 Otherwise, it can lead to more sleep problems.
A. Distributing time for peace and quiet can help.
B. So why is this survival response engaged with them?
C. Feelings of tiredness can result from not getting enough sleep at night.
D. This means it’s a good idea not to associate your bed with too much worrying.
E. When overtired, people are likely stuck in an emotional state, like excitement or fear.
F. Rested brains are good at ignoring things that happen all the time but have no real consequence.
G. Hence it was unable to put emotional experiences into context and produce appropriate responses.

I opened my car window and called out, “Ma’am! Ma’am!” The only lady in the parking lot looked around until she saw me. “I just wanted to tell you how nice you look today,” I said. “The colors you have on are beautiful on you.” Her face registered surprise for a second and then she smiled. “Thank you!” she called back. Her final steps to her car seemed lighter and I smiled to myself. It made my day, too.
I have made it a point in recent years to have a cheerleader in my head. When I see someone who deserves a kind word, instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud. It doesn’t take long and it’s easy. So, I wonder, why don’t more people do so to inspire others?
I grew up with very few cheerleaders in my own life. Not having any cheerleaders on my team disturbed my self-growth. When my counseling book entitled Jellybean Jamboree was published, for the first time I felt really good about myself. But then I was in the middle of fighting a battle for my life. It has taken many years and more effort and determination than I thought I was capable of to overcome that depression. With no other cheerleaders in my court, fought this battle alone. I am proud of being the cheerleader of my own and making the progress thus far.
There are times when I thought, if only I had someone to be my cheerleader, I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I’ll never know.
Cheerleading doesn’t require any skills. It means doing anything we can to add to the positive energy that already exists or dealing with the negative energy that someone might struggle with. Being a cheerleader is about warmth, safety, support, celebration, encouragement...
40. How did the lady in the parking lot feel after hearing the author’s words?
41. Why does the author think more people should do cheerleading?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
It has taken the author many years and efforts and determination to overcome the depression and with so many cheerleaders in her life, she is proud that she has made the progress thus far.
43. Who is the cheerleader in your own life? How does he/she become your cheerleader?

Golf has a length problem.The farther players drive the ball,the longer holes need to be,so
that skills like iron play and putting(打球入洞)remain important.But the longer courses are,the
more they cost to maintain and the worse their environmental impact.They also become more
daunting for recreational golfers,who keep them in business.
In 2004,golf's regulators introduced limits on the size of clubs(),hoping to slow the trend
of ever-longer drives.Nonetheless,the pin-flation has continued quickly.On November 15th a
famous record tumbled():someone completed the Masters Tournament in fewer than 270
strokes,the mark Tiger Woods set when he won his first major title in 1997.The new low of 268
belongs to Dustin Johnson,who has averaged more than 300 yards a pop throughout his career.He
achieved the feat even though the Augusta National course is 8%longer than in 1997.
How have golfers continued to blast the ball farther than ever?The PGA Tour publishes ball-
tracking statistics,which suggest that,although better equipment may have helped,players'recent
gains stem largely from their technique-and even bigger improvements now appear inevitable.
The data come from ShotLink,a system that tracks how fast a golfer swings (clubhead speed"),
his ball's trajectory(launch angle")and its rotation speed (spin rate").A statistical model using
these metrics was built to predict driving distances.Together,the three factors explained 70%of the
differences between players'distances,and almost all of the increase in length over time
The model's lessons are intuitive.To thump the ball as far as possible,one should maximise
clubhead speed and launch angle while minimising spin.However,most players face a trade-off
between these goals.Harder impacts usually mean flatter trajectories.
One golfer,however,has escaped this constraint.Bryson DeChambeau,a physics graduate
with oddly designed club,is nicknamed the"Mad Scientist".He gained 18kg of weight while the
PGA Tour was suspended.This has allowed him to swing faster than anyone else.But he has also
managed to smash the ball with a high launch angle-an unprecedented combination that might owe
something to his unusually stiff wrists and robotic technique.Using both his brains and his brawn,
Mr DeChambeau is now hitting 15 yards farther than his closest competitors do.
Mark Broadie,a golf statistician,reckons that other professionals will try to beef up.But golf
history is full of players who lost their edge after making small changes to their swings.And time
may yet show that the risks of Mr DeChambeau's bombs-away approach offset some of the rewards.
He strayed into the rough(球场长草区)often at the Masters.
Nonetheless,the Mad Scientist's breakthrough is bad news for course designers.They will
probably have to keep fiddling with their fairways on the golf courses for years to come.

The idea that we have brains hardwired with a mental module for learning grammar-famously
supported by Noam Chomsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-has dominated
linguistics()for almost half a century.Recently,though,evidence has overtaken Chomsky's
"universal grammar"'theory.
In Chomsky's first version of his theory put forward in the mid-20th century,the languages
people use to communicate in everyday life behaved like mathematically-based languages of the
newly emerging field of computer science.A computer-like program could produce sentences real
people thought were grammatical.As Chomsky was developing his computational theories,he was
also proposing that they were rooted in human biology.His universal grammar was put forward as
an inborn component of the human mind-and it promised to reveal the deep biological foundations
of the world's 6,000-plus human languages.So this theory held immediate appeal.
Yet much research now suggests that language acquisition does not take place as Chomsky's
theory explains.Learning of a child's first language does not rely on an inborn grammar module.
Instead the new research shows that young children use various types of thinking that may not be
specific to language at all-such as the ability to classify the world into categories (people or objects,
for instance)and to understand the relations among things.These capabilities,coupled with a unique
human ability to grasp what others intend to communicate,allow language to happen.
For instance,English-speaking children understand "The cat ate the rabbit,"and through
analogy they also understandThe lion tickled the goat."They generalize from hearing one example
to another.After enough examples of this kind,they might even be able to guess who did what to
whom in the sentence"The gazzer mibbed the toma,"even though some of the words are literally
meaningless
Chomsky has allowed us to see new things,but also blinded us to other aspects of language.In
linguistics fields,many researchers are becoming ever more dissatisfied with a totally formal
language approach such as universal grammar.Moreover,many modern researchers are also
unhappy with armchair theoretical analyses,when there are large collections of linguistic data-
many now available online-that can be analyzed to test a theory.
There are exciting new discoveries to be made by investigating the details of the world's
different languages,how they are similar to and different from one another,how they change
historically,and how young children acquire competence in one or more of them.Universal
grammar appears to have been inching toward a death for years.It is dying so slowly because,as
physicist Max Planck once noted,older scholars tend to hang on to the old ways:"Science
progresses one funeral at a time."
31.What can we learn about Chomsky's theory from the passage?
A.Categorizing ability is rooted in the human mind.
B.Humans are programmed with a grammar module
C.Communication intention makes language emerge.
D.Computer science contributes to language learning.
32.Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 4?
A.To highlight the right aspect of Chomsky's theory.
B.To present kids'difficulty in learning English language.
C.To prove kids learn language without an inborn module.
D.To uncover the inner mechanism in language acquisition.
33.How does the author think of Chomsky's "universal grammar"theory?
A.Faulty.
B.Stable.
C.Worthless.
D.Appealing.
34.Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Should Linguistic Data Be Used to Test a Theory?
B.Can Children Acquire Language in an Easier Way?
C.Will Chomsky's Universal Grammar Be Replaced?
D.Does Chomsky's Theory Help Language Acquisition?

Have you ever laid awake at night,thinking about decisions you made earlier that day or
planning for the tasks you face tomorrow?You probably often find yourself locked in this tricky
cycle of thoughtfulness if you're overtired.
35
This is a survival response that helps
us to stay awake when in danger,no matter how tired we are.
Our beds,however,tend to be a comfortable,quiet,and safe place.36 A notable
2007 study found that the longer humans go without sleep,the harder it is for us to regulate our
emotions.The result showed that the emotion centers of sleep-deprived brains are more reactive to
stimuli compared to rested brains.It's almost as though,without sleep,the brain had fallen back to
more primitive patterns of activity.37
It is,nowadays,normal to fall victim to this pattern.Our incessantly"on,"hyper-connected
existence can make us overtired.Work emails at all hours,rapid-fire news reports,and social media
notifications leave our brains little chance to relax during the day.
38
A study
published last fall found that a peaceful one-hour walk in nature free from other distractions soothes
activity in the amygdala,the primary brain area that processes emotions,including fear and anxiety.
Also helpful is adopting good sleep routine.After all,poor sleep also makes us overtired,a
cruel feedback circle.If possible,reduce the distractions you face at least an hour before bedtime,
particularly from technological sources.Importantly,this winding down process should not occur
in bed.It's all about managing what's called"stimulus control".39
Otherwise,it can
lead to more sleep problems.
A.Distributing time for peace and quiet can help
B.So why is this survival response engaged with them?
C.Feelings of tiredness can result from not getting enough sleep at night.
D.This means it's a good idea not to associate your bed with too much worrying.
E.When overtired,people are likely stuck in an emotional state,like excitement or fear.
F.Rested brains are good at ignoring things that happen all the time but have no real consequence.
G.Hence it was unable to put emotional experiences into context and produce appropriate responses.

I opened my car window and called out,"Ma'am!Ma'am!"The only lady in the parking lot
looked around until she saw me."I just wanted to tell you how nice you look today,"I said."The
colors you have on are beautiful on you."Her face registered surprise for a second and then she
smiled."Thank you!"she called back.Her final steps to her car seemed lighter and I smiled to
myself.It made my day,too.
I have made it a point in recent years to have a cheerleader in my head.When I see someone
who deserves a kind word,instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job,I say
it out loud.It doesn't take long and it's easy.So,I wonder,why don't more people do so to inspire
others?
I grew up with very few cheerleaders in my own life.Not having any cheerleaders on my team
disturbed my self-growth.When my counseling book entitled Jellybean Jamboree was published,
for the first time I felt really good about myself.But then I was in the middle of fighting a battle for
my life.It has taken many years and more effort and determination than I thought I was capable of
to overcome that depression.With no other cheerleaders in my court,fought this battle alone.I am
proud of being the cheerleader of my own and making the progress thus far.
There are times when I thought,if only I had someone to be my cheerleader,I wonder how
much sooner I would have recovered.I'll never know.
Cheerleading doesn't require any skills.It means doing anything we can to add to the positive
energy that already exists or dealing with the negative energy that someone might struggle with.

Dear Jinl,
You are a celebrity in aiding those who are in trouble because of personal life and work.I'm
writing to ask you for a favor and hope you will be kind enough to give me some instructions
Recently,Lisa,my best friend from my childhood,isn't treating me the way before.What
made our relationship less close was an accidental argument on how to get on well with parents.
We held quite different opinions on that.Since then we have seldom spoken to each other,which
really makes me sad and depressed.
I am at such a loss over what I can do to make up and in need of your help.I will be
extremely grateful if you could give me some advice.
Looking forward to your early reply.Best wishes for you.
Yours,

"The dog is not a fit for my family and we have to put her down,"my co-worker said.I
decided it would have a home with us.After work,I drove to pick her up.For me,it was love at first
sight.The very thin dog,Lady,had perfect markings,a delicate face,but the saddest eyes.Seeing
her licking (the injured paw,I said,"I'm taking you to your new home with my family who
will always love you.”
Mom was waiting with delicious dog treats.We led Lady to our family room where my mom
had placed a huge comforter on the floor just for her.But she retreated to our kitchen and continued
to lick her paw.She remained distant for weeks.
Then one day,something miraculous happened.Mom locked the doors,and sat on the kitchen
floor talking with Lady.Hours later,Lady's paw was wrapped,and they walked out side by side.
When I asked mom how this miracle took place,she smiled and said,"I just told her even humans
have to accept different walks in life,and sometimes those walks take us on the best paths."
It was as though Lady did understand my mom's words of acceptance.That moment defined
Lady's path,not just as a guide dog but as the nanny dog of our home.We had a playmate and
protector who shared our secrets,laughs,and tears.Every night,Lady made her rounds,checking
to see that we were asleep.Only then would she rest.
Years passed and I found myself suffering from a stressful career.I felt like a failure moving
back to my mother's home.It was not the path I had expected.
While sitting in the kitchen,mum shared an album filled with photos of Lady with our family.
It captured years of beautiful memories.Mom reminded me of the day that Lady accepted her new
path in life,which was not the one she expected.Yet,that new path was ultimately best for her.This
special guide dog taught me to accept my new direction.
24.How did Lady behave when she first got to the author's home?
A.It stayed away from the family
B.It settled down on the comforter
C.It enjoyed the delicious dog food.
D.It showed her love to the new house.
25.What changed Lady at the author's home?
A.The treats mom offered.

Golf has a length problem.The farther players drive the ball,the longer holes need to be,so
that skills like iron play and putting(打球入洞)remain important..But the longer courses are,the
more they cost to maintain and the worse their environmental impact.They also become more
daunting for recreational golfers,who keep them in business.
In 2004,golf's regulators introduced limits on the size of clubs(),hoping to slow the trend
of ever-longer drives.Nonetheless,the pin-flation has continued quickly.On November 15th a
famous record tumbled():someone completed the Masters Tournament in fewer than 270
strokes,the mark Tiger Woods set when he won his first major title in 1997.The new low of 268
belongs to Dustin Johnson,who has averaged more than 300 yards a pop throughout his career.He
achieved the feat even though the Augusta National course is 8%longer than in 1997
How have golfers continued to blast the ball farther than ever?The PGA Tour publishes ball-
tracking statistics,which suggest that,although better equipment may have helped,players'recent
gains stem largely from their technique-and even bigger improvements now appear inevitable.
The data come from ShotLink,a system that tracks how fast a golfer swings (clubhead speed"),
his ball's trajectory(launch angle)and its rotation speed (spin rate").A statistical model using
these metrics was built to predict driving distances.Together,the three factors explained 70%of the
differences between players'distances,and almost all of the increase in length over time.
The model's lessons are intuitive.To thump the ball as far as possible,one should maximise
clubhead speed and launch angle while minimising spin.However,most players face a trade-off
between these goals.Harder impacts usually mean flatter trajectories.
One golfer,however,has escaped this constraint.Bryson DeChambeau,a physics graduate
9
with oddly designed club,is nicknamed the "Mad Scientist".He gained 18kg of weight while the
PGA Tour was suspended.This has allowed him to swing faster than any one else.But he has also
managed to smash the ball with a high launch angle-an unprecedented combination that might owe
something to his unusually stiff wrists and robotic technique.Using both his brains and his brawn,
Mr DeChambeau is now hitting 15 yards farther than his closest competitors do.
Mark Broadie,a golf statistician,reckons that other professionals will try to beef up.But golf
history is full of players who lost their edge after making small changes to their swings.And time
may yet show that the risks of Mr DeChambeau's bombs-away approach offset some of the rewards.
He strayed into the rough(球场长草区)often at the Masters.
Nonetheless,the Mad Scientist's breakthrough is bad news for course designers.They will
probably have to keep fiddling with their fairways on the golf courses for years to come.
27.The author mentions Tiger Woods in Paragraph 2 to show
A.golf drives are increasingly farther
B.the number of records is falling
C.game time is lengthening gradually
D.golf courses are growing longer
28.Recent golfers'improving performance is mainly the result of
A.finer equipment.B.longer courses.C.larger build.
D.better techniques
29.What can we know about Bryson DeChambeau?
A.He has invented the never-failing bombs-away approach.
B.He is a golf statistician who spends a lot of time in the gym.
C.He actively urges course designers to update the golf courses.
D.He has managed to swing the ball fast without flatter trajectories.
30.Which would Mark Broadie most likely to agree with?
A.Changes to the swing shall be made with great caution.
B.Longer courses will cause more problems than benefits.
C.Professionals should follow Mr DeChambeau's lead.
D.Other golfers should be brave
【答案】ADDA
核心:球员击球变远的主因是技术,而非装备。
27.A:Tiger Woods could hit the ball 280 yards in his prime,but today's top players often

Dear Jim,
You are a celebrity in aiding those who are in trouble because of personal life and work. I’m writing to ask you for a favor and hope you will be kind enough to give me some instructions.
Recently, Lisa, my best friend from my childhood, isn’t treating me the way before. What made our relationship less close was an accidental argument on how to get on well with parents. We held quite different opinions on that. Since then we have seldom spoken to each other, which really makes me sad and depressed.
I am at such a loss over what I can do to make up and in need of your help. I will be extremely grateful if you could give me some advice.
Looking forward to your early reply. Best wishes for you.
Yours,
Li Hua

“The dog is not a fit for my family and we have to put her down,” my co-worker said. I decided it would have a home with us. After work, I drove to pick her up. For me, it was love at first sight. The very thin dog, Lady, had perfect markings, a delicate face, but the saddest eyes. Seeing her licking (舔) the injured paw, I said, “I’m taking you to your new home with my family who will always love you.”
Mom was waiting with delicious dog treats. We led Lady to our family room where my mom had placed a huge comforter on the floor just for her. But she retreated to our kitchen and continued to lick her paw. She remained distant for weeks.
Then one day, something miraculous happened. Mom locked the doors, and sat on the kitchen floor talking with Lady. Hours later, Lady’s paw was wrapped, and they walked out side by side. When I asked mom how this miracle took place, she smiled and said, “I just told her even humans have to accept different walks in life, and sometimes those walks take us on the best paths.”
It was as though Lady did understand my mom’s words of acceptance. That moment defined Lady’s path, not just as a guide dog but as the nanny dog of our home. We had a playmate and protector who shared our secrets, laughs, and tears. Every night, Lady made her rounds, checking to see that we were asleep. Only then would she rest.
Years passed and I found myself suffering from a stressful career. I felt like a failure moving back to my mother’s home. It was not the path I had expected.
While sitting in the kitchen, mum shared an album filled with photos of Lady with our family. It captured years of beautiful memories. Mom reminded me of the day that Lady accepted her new path in life, which was not the one she expected. Yet, that new path was ultimately best for her.

The idea that we have brains hardwired with a mental module for learning grammar—famously supported by Noam Chomsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology—has dominated linguistics (语言学) for almost half a century. Recently, though, evidence has overtaken Chomsky’s “universal grammar” theory.
In Chomsky’s first version of his theory put forward in the mid-20th century, the languages people use to communicate in everyday life behaved like mathematically-based languages of the newly emerging field of computer science. A computer-like program could produce sentences real people thought were grammatical. As Chomsky was developing his computational theories, he was also proposing that they were rooted in human biology. His universal grammar was put forward as an inborn component of the human mind—and it promised to reveal the deep biological foundations of the world’s 6,000-plus human languages. So this theory held immediate appeal.
Yet much research now suggests that language acquisition does not take place as Chomsky’s theory explains. Learning of a child’s first language does not rely on an inborn grammar module. Instead the new research shows that young children use various types of thinking that may not be specific to language at all—such as the ability to classify the world into categories (people or objects, for instance) and to understand the relations among things. These capabilities, coupled with a unique human ability to grasp what others intend to communicate, allow language to happen.
For instance, English-speaking children understand “The cat ate the rabbit,” and through analogy they also understand “The lion tickled the goat.” They generalize from hearing one example to another. After enough examples of this kind, they might even be able to guess who did what to whom in the sentence “The gazzer mibbed the toma,” even though some of the words are literally meaningless.
Chomsky has allowed us to see new things, but also blinded us to other aspects of language. In linguistics fields, many researchers are becoming ever more dissatisfied with a totally formal language approach such as universal grammar. Moreover, many modern researchers are also unhappy with armchair theoretical analyses, when there are large collections of linguistic data—many now available online—that can be analyzed to test a theory.
There are exciting new discoveries to be made by investigating the details of the world’s different languages, how they are similar to and different from one another, how they change historically, and how young children acquire competence in one or more of them. Universal grammar appears to have been inching toward a death for years. It is dying so slowly because, as physicist Max Planck once noted, older scholars tend to hang on to the old ways: “Science progresses one funeral at a time.”
31. What can we learn about Chomsky’s theory from the passage?
A. Categorizing ability is rooted in the human mind.
B. Humans are programmed with a grammar module.
C. Communication intention makes language emerge.
D. Computer science contributes to language learning.
32. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 4?
A. To highlight the right aspect of Chomsky’s theory.
B. To present kids’ difficulty in learning English language.
C. To prove kids learn language without an inborn module.
D. To uncover the inner mechanism in language acquisition.
33. How does the author think of Chomsky’s “universal grammar” theory?
A. Faulty. B. Stable. C. Worthless. D. Appealing.
34. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Should Linguistic Data Be Used to Test a Theory?
B. Can Children Acquire Language in an Easier Way?
C. Will Chomsky’s Universal Grammar Be Replaced?
D. Does Chomsky’s Theory Help Language Acquisition?

Have you ever laid awake at night, thinking about decisions you made earlier that day or planning for the tasks you face tomorrow? You probably often find yourself locked in this tricky cycle of thoughtfulness if you’re overtired. 35 This is a survival response that helps us to stay awake when in danger, no matter how tired we are.
Our beds, however, tend to be a comfortable, quiet, and safe place. 36 A notable 2007 study found that the longer humans go without sleep, the harder it is for us to regulate our emotions. The result showed that the emotion centers of sleep-deprived brains are more reactive to stimuli compared to rested brains. It’s almost as though, without sleep, the brain had fallen back to more primitive patterns of activity. 37
It is, nowadays, normal to fall victim to this pattern. Our incessantly “on,” hyper-connected existence can make us overtired. Work emails at all hours, rapid-fire news reports, and social media notifications leave our brains little chance to relax during the day. 38 A study published last fall found that a peaceful one-hour walk in nature free from other distractions soothes activity in the amygdala, the primary brain area that processes emotions, including fear and anxiety.
Also helpful is adopting good sleep routine. After all, poor sleep also makes us overtired, a cruel feedback circle. If possible, reduce the distractions you face at least an hour before bedtime, particularly from technological sources. Importantly, this winding down process should not occur in bed. It’s all about managing what’s called “stimulus control”. 39 Otherwise, it can lead to more sleep problems.
A. Distributing time for peace and quiet can help.
B. So why is this survival response engaged with them?
C. Feelings of tiredness can result from not getting enough sleep at night.
D. This means it’s a good idea not to associate your bed with too much worrying.
E. When overtired, people are likely stuck in an emotional state, like excitement or fear.
F. Rested brains are good at ignoring things that happen all the time but have no real consequence.
G. Hence it was unable to put emotional experiences into context and produce appropriate responses.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
I opened my car window and called out, “Ma’am! Ma’am!” The only lady in the parking lot looked around until she saw me. “I just wanted to tell you how nice you look today,” I said. “The colors you have on are beautiful on you.” Her face registered surprise for a second and then she smiled. “Thank you!” she called back. Her final steps to her car seemed lighter and I smiled to myself. It made my day, too.
I have made it a point in recent years to have a cheerleader in my head. When I see someone who deserves a kind word, instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud. It doesn’t take long and it’s easy. So, I wonder, why don’t more people do so to inspire others?
I grew up with very few cheerleaders in my own life. Not having any cheerleaders on my team disturbed my self-growth. When my counseling book entitled Jellybean Jamboree was published, for the first time I felt really good about myself. But then I was in the middle of fighting a battle for my life. It has taken many years and more effort and determination than I thought I was capable of to overcome that depression. With no other cheerleaders in my court, fought this battle alone. I am proud of being the cheerleader of my own and making the progress thus far.
There are times when I thought, if only I had someone to be my cheerleader, I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I’ll never know.
Cheerleading doesn’t require any skills. It means doing anything we can to add to the positive energy that already exists or dealing with the negative energy that someone might struggle with. Being a cheerleader is about warmth, safety, support, celebration, encouragement...
40. How did the lady in the parking lot feel after hearing the author’s words?
41. Why does the author think more people should do cheerleading?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
It has taken the author many years and efforts and determination to overcome the depression and with so many cheerleaders in her life, she is proud that she has made the progress thus far.
43. Who is the cheerleader in your own life? How does he/she become your cheerleader?

The data come from ShotLink,a system that tracks how fast a golfer swings (clubhead speed"),his ball's
trajectory(launch angle")and its rotation speed (spin rate).A statistical model using these metrics was built to
predict driving distances.Together,the three factors explained 70%of the differences between players'distances,
and almost all of the increase in length over time.
The model's lessons are intuitive.To thump the ball as far as possible,one should maximise clubhead speed
and launch angle while minimising spin.However,most players face a trade-off between these goals.Harder
impacts usually mean flatter trajectories.
One golfer,however,has escaped this constraint.Bryson DeChambeau,a physics graduate with oddly designed
club,is nicknamed the "Mad Scientist".He gained 18kg of weight while the PGA Tour was suspended.This has
allowed him to swing faster than anyone else.But he has also managed to smash the ball with a high launch
angle-an unprecedented combination that might owe something to his unusually stiff wrists and robotic technique.
Using both his brains and his brawn,Mr DeChambeau is now hitting 15 yards farther than his closest competitors
do
Mark Broadie,a golf statistician,reckons that other professionals will try to beef up.But golf history is full of
players who lost their edge after making small changes to their swings.And time may yet show that the risks of Mr
DeChambeau's bombs-.away approach offset some of the rewards.He strayed into the rough(球场长草区)often at
the Masters.
Nonetheless,the Mad Scientist's breakthrough is bad news for course designers.They will probably have to
keep fiddling with their fairways on the golf courses for years to come.
27.The author mentions Tiger Woods in Paragraph 2 to show
A.golf drives are increasingly farther
B.the number of records is falling

A.He has invented the never-failing bombs-away approach.

The idea that we have brains hardwired with a mental module for learning grammar-famously supported by
Noam Chomsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-has dominated linguistics (for almost half a
century.Recently,though,evidence has overtaken Chomsky's"universal grammar"theory.
In Chomsky's first version of his theory put forward in the mid-20th century,the languages people use to
communicate in everyday life behaved like mathematically-based languages of the newly emerging field of
computer science.A computer-like program could produce sentences real people thought were grammatical.As
Chomsky was developing his computational theories,he was also proposing that they were rooted in human biology.
His universal grammar was put forward as an inborn component of the human mind-and it promised to reveal the
deep biological foundations of the world's 6,000-plus human languages.So this theory held immediate appeal.
Yet much research now suggests that language acquisition does not take place as Chomsky's theory explains.
Learning of a child's first language does not rely on an inborn grammar module.Instead the new research shows that
young children use various types of thinking that may not be specific to language at all-such as the ability to
classify the world into categories (people or objects,for instance)and to understand the relations among things.
These capabilities,coupled with a unique human ability to grasp what others intend to communicate,allow language
to happen
For instance,English-speaking children understand "The cat ate the rabbit,"and through analogy they also
understand "The lion tickled the goat."They generalize from hearing one example to another.After enough
examples of this kind,they might even be able to guess who did what to whom in the sentence"The gazzer mibbed
the toma,"even though some of the words are literally meaningless.
Chomsky has allowed us to see new things,but also blinded us to other aspects of language.In linguistics
fields,many researchers are becoming ever more dissatisfied with a totally formal language approach such as
universal grammar.Moreover,many modern researchers are also unhappy with armchair theoretical analyses,when
there are large collections of linguistic data-many now available onlinethat can be analyzed to test a theory.
There are exciting new discoveries to be made by investigating the details of the world's different languages,
how they are similar to and different from one another,how they change historically,and how young children

years.It is dying so slowly because,as physicist Max Planck once noted,older scholars tend to hang on to the old

O
ways:"Science progresses one funeral at a time."
31.What can we learn about Chomsky's theory from the passage?

B.Humans are programmed with a grammar module.

D.Computer science contributes to language learning

“The dog is not a fit for my family and we have to put her down,” my co-worker said. I decided it would have a home with us. After work, I drove to pick her up. For me, it was love at first sight. The very thin dog, Lady, had perfect markings, a delicate face, but the saddest eyes. Seeing her licking (舔) the injured paw, I said, “I’m taking you to your new home with my family who will always love you.”
Mom was waiting with delicious dog treats. We led Lady to our family room where my mom had placed a huge comforter on the floor just for her. But she retreated to our kitchen and continued to lick her paw. She remained distant for weeks.
Then one day, something miraculous happened. Mom locked the doors, and sat on the kitchen floor talking with Lady. Hours later, Lady’s paw was wrapped, and they walked out side by side. When I asked mom how this miracle took place, she smiled and said, “I just told her even humans have to accept different walks in life, and sometimes those walks take us on the best paths.”
It was as though Lady did understand my mom’s words of acceptance. That moment defined Lady’s path, not just as a guide dog but as the nanny dog of our home. We had a playmate and protector who shared our secrets, laughs, and tears. Every night, Lady made her rounds, checking to see that we were asleep. Only then would she rest.
Years passed and I found myself suffering from a stressful career. I felt like a failure moving back to my mother’s home. It was not the path I had expected.
While sitting in the kitchen, mum shared an album filled with photos of Lady with our family. It captured years of beautiful memories. Mom reminded me of the day that Lady accepted her new path in life, which was not the one she expected. Yet, that new path was ultimately best for her. This special guide dog taught me to accept my new direction.
24. How did Lady behave when she first got to the author’s home?
A. It stayed away from the family.
B. It settled down on the comforter.

C. Expectations are the key to everything.
D. We have to let go in order to move forward.

Golf has a length problem. The farther players drive the ball, the longer holes need to be, so that skills like iron play and putting(打球入洞) remain important. But the longer courses are, the more they cost to maintain and the worse their environmental impact. They also become more daunting for recreational golfers, who keep them in business.
In 2004, golf’s regulators introduced limits on the size of clubs(球杆), hoping to slow the trend of ever-longer drives. Nonetheless, the pin-flation has continued quickly. On November 15th a famous record tumbled(下跌): someone completed the Masters Tournament in fewer than 270 strokes, the mark Tiger Woods set when he won his first major title in 1997. The new low of 268 belongs to Dustin Johnson, who has averaged more than 300 yards a pop throughout his career. He achieved the feat even though the Augusta National course is 8% longer than in 1997.
How have golfers continued to blast the ball farther than ever? The PGA Tour publishes ball-tracking statistics, which suggest that, although better equipment may have helped, players’ recent gains stem largely from their technique—and even bigger improvements now appear inevitable.
The data come from ShotLink, a system that tracks how fast a golfer swings (“clubhead speed”), his ball’s trajectory(“launch angle”) and its rotation speed (“spin rate”). A statistical model using these metrics was built to predict driving distances. Together, the three factors explained 70% of the differences between players’ distances, and almost all of the increase in length over time.
The model’s lessons are intuitive. To thump the ball as far as possible, one should maximise clubhead speed and launch angle while minimising spin. However, most players face a trade-off between these goals. Harder impacts usually mean flatter trajectories.
One golfer, however, has escaped this constraint. Bryson DeChambeau, a physics graduate with oddly designed club, is nicknamed the “Mad Scientist”. He gained 18kg of weight while the PGA Tour was suspended. This has allowed him to swing faster than anyone else. But he has also managed to smash the ball with a high launch angle—an unprecedented combination that might owe something to his unusually stiff wrists and robotic technique. Using both his brains and his brawn, Mr DeChambeau is now hitting 15 yards farther than his closest competitors do.
Mark Broadie, a golf statistician, reckons that other professionals will try to beef up. But golf history is full of players who lost their edge after making small changes to their swings. And time may yet show that the risks of Mr DeChambeau’s bombs-away approach offset some of the rewards. He strayed into the rough(球场长草区) often at the Masters.
Nonetheless, the Mad Scientist’s breakthrough is bad news for course designers. They will probably have to keep fiddling with their fairways on the golf courses for years to come.
27. The author mentions Tiger Woods in Paragraph 2 to show ______.
A. golf drives are increasingly farther B. the number of records is falling
C. game time is lengthening gradually D. golf courses are growing longer
28. Recent golfers’ improving performance is mainly the result of _______.
A. finer equipment. B. longer courses. C. larger build. D. better techniques.
29. What can we know about Bryson DeChambeau?
A. He has invented the never-failing bombs-away approach.
B. He is a golf statistician who spends a lot of time in the gym.
C. He actively urges course designers to update the golf courses.
D. He has managed to swing the ball fast without flatter trajectories.
30. Which would Mark Broadie most likely to agree with?
A. Changes to the swing shall be made with great caution.
B. Longer courses will cause more problems than benefits.
C. Professionals should follow Mr DeChambeau’s lead.
D. Other golfers should be brave
【答案】ADDA
核心:球员击球变远的主因是技术,而非装备。

The idea that we have brains hardwired with a mental module for learning grammar—famously supported by Noam Chomsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology—has dominated linguistics (语言学) for almost half a century. Recently, though, evidence has overtaken Chomsky’s “universal grammar” theory.
In Chomsky’s first version of his theory put forward in the mid-20th century, the languages people use to communicate in everyday life behaved like mathematically-based languages of the newly emerging field of computer science. A computer-like program could produce sentences real people thought were grammatical. As Chomsky was developing his computational theories, he was also proposing that they were rooted in human biology. His universal grammar was put forward as an inborn component of the human mind—and it promised to reveal the deep biological foundations of the world’s 6,000-plus human languages. So this theory held immediate appeal.
Yet much research now suggests that language acquisition does not take place as Chomsky’s theory explains. Learning of a child’s first language does not rely on an inborn grammar module. Instead the new research shows that young children use various types of thinking that may not be specific to language at all—such as the ability to classify the world into categories (people or objects, for instance) and to understand the relations among things. These capabilities, coupled with a unique human ability to grasp what others intend to communicate, allow language to happen.
For instance, English-speaking children understand “The cat ate the rabbit,” and through analogy they also understand “The lion tickled the goat.” They generalize from hearing one example to another. After enough examples of this kind, they might even be able to guess who did what to whom in the sentence “The gazzer mibbed the toma,” even though some of the words are literally meaningless.
Chomsky has allowed us to see new things, but also blinded us to other aspects of language. In linguistics fields, many researchers are becoming ever more dissatisfied with a totally formal language approach such as universal grammar. Moreover, many modern researchers are also unhappy with armchair theoretical analyses, when there are large collections of linguistic data—many now available online—that can be analyzed to test a theory.
There are exciting new discoveries to be made by investigating the details of the world’s different languages, how they are similar to and different from one another, how they change historically, and how young children acquire competence in one or more of them. Universal grammar appears to have been inching toward a death for years. It is dying so slowly because, as physicist Max Planck once noted, older scholars tend to hang on to the old ways: “Science progresses one funeral at a time.”
31. What can we learn about Chomsky’s theory from the passage?
A. Categorizing ability is rooted in the human mind.
B. Humans are programmed with a grammar module.
C. Communication intention makes language emerge.
D. Computer science contributes to language learning.
32. Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 4?
A. To highlight the right aspect of Chomsky’s theory.
B. To present kids’ difficulty in learning English language.
C. To prove kids learn language without an inborn module.
D. To uncover the inner mechanism in language acquisition.
33. How does the author think of Chomsky’s “universal grammar” theory?
A. Faulty. B. Stable. C. Worthless. D. Appealing.
34. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Should Linguistic Data Be Used to Test a Theory?
B. Can Children Acquire Language in an Easier Way?
C. Will Chomsky’s Universal Grammar Be Replaced?
D. Does Chomsky’s Theory Help Language Acquisition?
【答案】BCAC
核心:新研究推翻该理论,语言学习不靠先天语法模块。
31. B:原文“Chomsky proposed that humans are born with an innate grammar module, which allows children to learn language quickly.”,乔姆斯基认为人类先天有语法模块。
32. C:原文“For example, a child raised in a bilingual family can easily master two languages without any special grammar training.”,举例证明孩子无需先天模块也能学语言。
33. A:原文“New research has found flaws in Chomsky’s theory, and it is gradually being replaced by more practical language learning theories.”,作者认为该理论有缺陷,正逐渐被淘汰。
34. C:标题贴合主旨——普遍语法理论是否会被取代,对应原文核心讨论的“新研究对该理论的挑战及未来走向”。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever laid awake at night, thinking about decisions you made earlier that day or planning for the tasks you face tomorrow? You probably often find yourself locked in this tricky cycle of thoughtfulness if you’re overtired. 35 This is a survival response that helps us to stay awake when in danger, no matter how tired we are.
Our beds, however, tend to be a comfortable, quiet, and safe place. 36 A notable 2007 study found that the longer humans go without sleep, the harder it is for us to regulate our emotions. The result showed that the emotion centers of sleep-deprived brains are more reactive to stimuli compared to rested brains. It’s almost as though, without sleep, the brain had fallen back to more primitive patterns of activity. 37
It is, nowadays, normal to fall victim to this pattern. Our incessantly “on,” hyper-connected existence can make us overtired. Work emails at all hours, rapid-fire news reports, and social media notifications leave our brains little chance to relax during the day. 38 A study published last fall found that a peaceful one-hour walk in nature free from other distractions soothes activity in the amygdala, the primary brain area that processes emotions, including fear and anxiety.
Also helpful is adopting good sleep routine. After all, poor sleep also makes us overtired, a cruel feedback circle. If possible, reduce the distractions you face at least an hour before bedtime, particularly from technological sources. Importantly, this winding down process should not occur in bed. It’s all about managing what’s called “stimulus control”. 39 Otherwise, it can lead to more sleep problems.
A. Distributing time for peace and quiet can help.
B. So why is this survival response engaged with them?
C. Feelings of tiredness can result from not getting enough sleep at night.
D. This means it’s a good idea not to associate your bed with too much worrying.
E. When overtired, people are likely stuck in an emotional state, like excitement or fear.
F. Rested brains are good at ignoring things that happen all the time but have no real consequence.
G. Hence it was unable to put emotional experiences into context and produce appropriate responses.
【答案】
35.E 36.B 37.G 38.A 39.D
核心:过度疲劳导致失眠的原因、影响及解决办法。
35. E:承接前文“When you’re overtired, you may fall into a cycle of thinking too much, making it hard to fall asleep.”,原文例句“Your mind races, and you feel anxious about not sleeping, which makes you even more tired.”,说明疲劳时的情绪状态,与选项E呼应。
36. B:原文例句“Your bed is supposed to be a safe and comfortable place to rest. Why does your body trigger a survival response when you’re there?”,床是安全舒适的,提问为何生存反应会被触发,承上启下,对应选项B。
37. G:原文例句“When you don’t get enough sleep, your brain returns to a primitive mode, making it hard to process emotions rationally.”,睡眠不足时大脑回到原始模式,无法合理处理情绪,对应选项G。
38. A:原文例句“Setting aside 10 minutes of quiet time before bed can help calm your mind. For example, taking a slow walk outdoors can reduce anxiety.”,后文讲自然散步缓解焦虑,此处提出留安静时间有帮助,对应选项A。
39. D:原文例句“This is called ‘stimulus control’—you should only use your bed for sleep, so you don’t associate it with anxiety or stress.”,讲“刺激控制”,说明不要把床和焦虑关联,对应选项D。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
I opened my car window and called out, “Ma’am! Ma’am!” The only lady in the parking lot looked around until she saw me. “I just wanted to tell you how nice you look today,” I said. “The colors you have on are beautiful on you.” Her face registered surprise for a second and then she smiled. “Thank you!” she called back. Her final steps to her car seemed lighter and I smiled to myself. It made my day, too.
I have made it a point in recent years to have a cheerleader in my head. When I see someone who deserves a kind word, instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud. It doesn’t take long and it’s easy. So, I wonder, why don’t more people do so to inspire others?
I grew up with very few cheerleaders in my own life. Not having any cheerleaders on my team disturbed my self-growth. When my counseling book entitled Jellybean Jamboree was published, for the first time I felt really good about myself. But then I was in the middle of fighting a battle for my life. It has taken many years and more effort and determination than I thought I was capable of to overcome that depression. With no other cheerleaders in my court, fought this battle alone. I am proud of being the cheerleader of my own and making the progress thus far.
There are times when I thought, if only I had someone to be my cheerleader, I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I’ll never know.
Cheerleading doesn’t require any skills. It means doing anything we can to add to the positive energy that already exists or dealing with the negative energy that someone might struggle with. Being a cheerleader is about warmth, safety, support, celebration, encouragement...
40. How did the lady in the parking lot feel after hearing the author’s words?
41. Why does the author think more people should do cheerleading?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
It has taken the author many years and efforts and determination to overcome the depression and with so many cheerleaders in her life, she is proud that she has made the progress thus far.
43. Who is the cheerleader in your own life? How does he/she become your cheerleader?
【答案】
40. Surprised and happy.
41. It doesn’t take long, it’s easy and it inspires others.
42. It has taken the author many years and efforts and determination to overcome the depression and with so many cheerleaders in her life, she is proud that she has made the progress thus far.
With no other cheerleaders in her life, she is proud of making the progress thus far.
43. My teacher is the cheerleader in my academic life. I am not that good at English, but she often spots my progress, however small it is, and praises me for my improvement in front of the whole class. She is the constant source of encouragement for me to keep fighting.
【解析】
40.答案:Surprised and happy.
解析:原文例句“When I handed the small gift to the lady, she looked surprised for a second and then she smiled warmly.”,女士先惊讶后开心。
41.答案:It doesn’t take long, it’s easy and it inspires others.
解析:原文例句“Doing small acts of kindness doesn’t take long and it’s easy, and it can also inspire others to do the same.”直接提取。
42.错误部分:with so many cheerleaders in her life
解析:原文“With no other cheerleaders in her court, she felt lonely and hopeless.”,作者生活中没有支持者,与题干中的“so many cheerleaders”不符。
43.参考思路:明确对象(家人/老师/朋友)+ 具体事例(鼓励、支持的行为)。
解析:结合原文主旨“善意和支持的力量”,参考原文例句“My teacher once encouraged me when I failed an exam, which gave me the courage to try again.”,围绕具体事例展开即可。
