A
There was a famous painter in the Song Dynasty. His name was Wen Tong. He was good at drawing bamboos. A lot of people visited his house every day. They all wanted one of his bamboo drawings. Wen Tong loved bamboos so much that he grew bamboos everywhere around his house. In the spring, summer, autumn and winter, he always went to the bamboo forest to see how they grew. The bamboos looked different on sunny days and rainy days. Wen Tong saw different shapes of bamboo poles (竿). He also saw different shapes and colors of the leaves.
As time passed, Wen remembered the images of the bamboos deeply in his mind. Whenever he stood before the paper and picked up a painting brush, the rich forms (样子) of the bamboos would appear in his mind at once. So every time he was drawing bamboos, he became very confident, and all the bamboos he painted were beautiful and true to life.
A young man wanted to learn from Wen Tong. “Why can you paint bamboos so well?” he asked. Wen Tong answered with a smile, “I just paint the bamboos in my mind.”
34. Many people came to Wen Tong’s house to________ .
A. look at his bamboos B. get his bamboo drawings

Rorto is the second largest city in Portugal(葡萄牙). Every day, a large number of people wait in line to visit the city’s most popular tourist sight: Livraria Lello. It’s not a museum, but a bookstore.

A few years ago, Livraria Lello was free to enter. But the bookstore went through a hard time and it almost went bankrupt. That was when someone suggested that visitors should buy tickets to get in. And if they bought some books in the bookstore, they would save the entrance fee(门票).
▲ The number of visitors rose to 1.2 million in 2017 and they sold more than 280,000 books. In 2015, they only sold about 50,000 books!

C
Do you use hand gestures (姿势) when you talk? Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? These are all examples of body language. How important can it be? Follow Teens and have a look.
Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings. According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, if your friend asks you to join him in a picnic, you will give him an “OK” gesture to say “Yes, sounds great!” Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously (无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.
In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the US, making eye contact (眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person’s eyes during a conversation.
Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take “hello” for example. French people kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting. What are you trying to say? Body language is important to teenagers. Understanding this language helps you to communicate better with others.
41. What does body language use to show meanings?
A. Words. B. Sentences. C. Letters. D. Movement or position.
42. What does an American mean if he makes eye contact with someone?
A. He is bored with the person. B. He is interested in the person.
C. He is angry with the person. D. He doesn’t want to say anything.
43. How many ways of saying “hello” are mentioned in this passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
44. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The same body language always means the same thing.
B. Different body language can express the same meaning.
C. Asian people like making eye contact.
D. Japanese people kiss to say hello
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. B 44. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了肢体语言的定义、作用,以及肢体语言在不同文化中的含义差异和共性,说明理解肢体语言有助于人们更好地和他人沟通。
【41题详解】
根据“It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings.”可知,肢体语言用身体移动或者位置来表明意思。
【42题详解】
根据“In the US, making eye contact (眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying.”可知,如果和说话的人有眼神交流,那么他对说话者感兴趣。
【43题详解】
根据“French people kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting.”可知,文中提到了三种打招呼的方式:亲吻脸颊,鞠躬和触碰鼻子。
【44题详解】
根据“different body language expresses the same meaning.”可知,不同的肢体语言可以表达相同的意思。
D
Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem”, or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening.
I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The school finds out that the old “pass/fail system” wasn’t helping students’ motivation (积极性). If you passed, then great, but those students who didn’t pass often felt like failures. So now students who don’t pass the exams will not see a big red F on their papers, they see a “Not yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. They haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way.
This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just fix their eyes on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. Clearly, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.
But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself to develop a growth mindset. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t or you haven’t and realize that you just can’t or haven’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. It’s one small but very powerful word.
45. The purpose of adding the word “yet” is to make you believe that ________.
A. everything is possible B. you are on a journey to your destination
C. you are going to start to win D. you will never feel upset about your failures
46. The example in Paragraph 2 is to ________.
A. express a feeling B. describe a problem C. show the result D. support the topic
47. According to the passage, which one of the following has “a growth mindset”?
A. Jack got an “A” in the exam. He was quite happy to tell his parents.
B. David failed in a competition, but he stayed confident and kept trying.
C. Jenny found it hard to work out the maths problem, so she gave it up.
D. Emma was refused by school team. She didn’t want to have another try.
48. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Small word, great power B. Two Different Mindsets
C. Nothing Is Impossible D. On the Way to Success
【答案】45. A 46. D 47. B 48. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讲述通过学会使用“yet”这个词,人们可以培养“成长型思维”,从而将看似无法解决的问题转化为可以通过持续努力实现的可能。
【45题详解】
第一段“By adding this simple word...imagine those things happening.”直接表明,通过加上“还未”这个简单的词,不可能变成了可能。选项A与之对应。
【46题详解】
根据第一段“Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. ”和第二段“That way the students feel that...they are going the right way.”表明,作者通过一个真实发生的学校案例,向读者展示“yet”思维在实际中如何产生积极效果,从而支撑文章的中心主题——使用“yet”可以改变心态,化不可能为可能。选项D与之对应。
【47题详解】
第三段“This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”...the challenge and believe they can change. ”表明了,拥有成长型思维的人不关注失败,他们不会因为第一次没把事情做对而感到焦虑,并且乐于不断尝试直到成功。选项B符合。
【48题详解】
文章第一段“Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of ‘yet’”提出添加“yet”可以改变一切,第二段用学校评分改为“Not yet”为例支持论点,第三段将这种思维上升为“成长型思维”,第四段号召读者用“yet”改变自我信念。本文讲的是“yet”这个小词如何通过改变思维方式而产生巨大力量。选项A与之对应。

Lucy: In the past, I used to spend all of my pocket money on snacks and beautiful clothes. About two years ago, a TV show about poor kids impressed me. I decided to do something good with my money. Now I’m used to giving away most of my pocket money to charity (慈善机构).
Eric: I used to be afraid to talk to anyone else. My parents were worried about me a lot. Then one day I read a book named 30 Days—change your habits, change your life. Since then, I’ve tried to express myself to others. I’ve become more outgoing.
Mary: I used to hate P.E. and was often absent from P.E. lessons. Later, my P.E. teacher Mr. Li advised me to do more sports to keep fit and train my mind. I thought he might be right and I fell in love with sports. Now I look forward to P.E. lessons and I can play soccer very well.

A
There was a famous painter in the Song Dynasty. His name was Wen Tong. He was good at drawing bamboos. A lot of people visited his house every day. They all wanted one of his bamboo drawings. Wen Tong loved bamboos so much that he grew bamboos everywhere around his house. In the spring, summer, autumn and winter, he always went to the bamboo forest to see how they grew. The bamboos looked different on sunny days and rainy days. Wen Tong saw different shapes of bamboo poles (竿). He also saw different shapes and colors of the leaves.
As time passed, Wen remembered the images of the bamboos deeply in his mind. Whenever he stood before the paper and picked up a painting brush, the rich forms (样子) of the bamboos would appear in his mind at once. So every time he was drawing bamboos, he became very confident, and all the bamboos he painted were beautiful and true to life.
A young man wanted to learn from Wen Tong. “Why can you paint bamboos so well?” he asked. Wen Tong answered with a smile, “I just paint the bamboos in my mind.”

Rorto is the second largest city in Portugal(葡萄牙). Every day, a large number of people wait in line to visit the city’s most popular tourist sight: Livraria Lello. It’s not a museum, but a bookstore.
Livraria Lello opened its doors in 1906. It doesn’t, however, owe its success only to (归功于) its books, but also to Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowling. She wrote the first Harry Potter book inside the store. She liked to visit the bookstore when she lived in Porto from 1991 to 1993.
A few years ago, Livraria Lello was free to enter. But the bookstore went through a hard time and it almost went bankrupt. That was when someone suggested that visitors should buy tickets to get in. And if they bought some books in the bookstore, they would save the entrance fee(门票).
▲ The number of visitors rose to 1.2 million in 2017 and they sold more than 280,000 books. In 2015, they only sold about 50,000 books!
Every year, more than a million people visit Livraria Lello. It’s really a must-see while you’re in Porto.
37. What do we know about Livraria Lello from the first two paragraphs?
A. It is a museum.
B. It opened in 1960.
C. It is a popular tourist sight in America.
D. It might be the birthplace of the first Harry Potter book.

B. At first, it was hard to get a ticket.

D. However, very few people liked to buy books there.
40. What does the passage mainly talk about?

C. Portugal’s second largest city—Porto.
D. Porto’s most popular bookstore—Livraria Lello.

Do you use hand gestures (姿势) when you talk? Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? These are all examples of body language. How important can it be? Follow Teens and have a look.
Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings. According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, if your friend asks you to join him in a picnic, you will give him an “OK” gesture to say “Yes, sounds great!” Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously (无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.
In different cultures, the same body language means different things. In the US, making eye contact (眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person’s eyes during a conversation.
Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning. Take “hello” for example. French people kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting. What are you trying to say? Body language is important to teenagers. Understanding this language helps you to communicate better with others.
41. What does body language use to show meanings?
A. Words. B. Sentences. C. Letters. D. Movement or position.
42. What does an American mean if he makes eye contact with someone?
A. He is bored with the person. B. He is interested in the person.
C. He is angry with the person. D. He doesn’t want to say anything.
43. How many ways of saying “hello” are mentioned in this passage?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
44. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The same body language always means the same thing.
B. Different body language can express the same meaning.
C. Asian people like making eye contact.
D. Japanese people kiss to say hello
D
Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem”, or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening.
I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The school finds out that the old “pass/fail system” wasn’t helping students’ motivation (积极性). If you passed, then great, but those students who didn’t pass often felt like failures. So now students who don’t pass the exams will not see a big red F on their papers, they see a “Not yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. They haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way.
This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t concentrate on failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the challenge and believe they can change. In contrast, people who just fix their eyes on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. Clearly, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.
But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself to develop a growth mindset. Remember that it all starts with questioning the things you believe about yourself. Stop believing that you can’t or you haven’t and realize that you just can’t or haven’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. It’s one small but very powerful word.
45. The purpose of adding the word “yet” is to make you believe that ________.
A. everything is possible B. you are on a journey to your destination
C. you are going to start to win D. you will never feel upset about your failures
46. The example in Paragraph 2 is to ________.
A. express a feeling B. describe a problem C. show the result D. support the topic
47. According to the passage, which one of the following has “a growth mindset”?
A. Jack got an “A” in the exam. He was quite happy to tell his parents.
B. David failed in a competition, but he stayed confident and kept trying.
C. Jenny found it hard to work out the maths problem, so she gave it up.
D. Emma was refused by school team. She didn’t want to have another try.
48. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Small word, great power B. Two Different Mindsets
C. Nothing Is Impossible D. On the Way to Success
