Tensions rose with every move and shouting matches were constant. When everything came to a boil, Nia found it best to keep silent. She became more and more withdrawn as she got older, losing confidence in herself and her voice. When she was a young adult, Nia had developed a fear of speaking. So when a friend told her about YouthCare’s Tile Project, she was terrified. But Nia wanted to take steps to find a job and support herself. She finally took a deep breath and decided to give it a shot. Nia signed up for a ceramic (陶瓷) class. The passion she gained for learning a new craft was clear-but when it came to group activities in the classroom, Nia struggled. She told staff that she didn’t like being around people she didn’t know. So when the class was given the opportunity to sell their artwork at a local fair, Nia hesitated. With the support from YouthCare Career Coordinator, Kate, she cautiously agreed. When the big day came, shoppers poured into the fair, approaching Nia with questions about the program and art pieces for sale. Each time, Nia turned to Kate to whisper the answers in her ear, and Kate repeated the answers out loud. At one point during the fair, she was left alone for a moment. When a customer came up to ask a question, Nia answered with hesitation. Soon after, another visitor came. When Kate returned to her side, Nia fought back her fears and answered their questions on her own. Nia’s confidence grew with every interaction. By the end of the day, she was beaming. “I was so impressed by Nia. She really loved explaining to customers how to fire ceramic,” said Kate. “The artwork she sold was the biggest sale of the day!” That day at the fair was life-changing for Nia. She discovered that she truly enjoyed talking to others-especially about art! With continued support from staff to build communication skills and confidence, Nia completed the Tile Project with flying colors. 11. What made Nia finally decide to try the Project? A.

C Even people who tend to think conventionally, such as accountants, can be creative, a recent study suggests, if they can look at emotional situations in a different light. In a set of experiments, researchers found that conventional thinkers came up with more creative ideas than peers after they practised “emotional reappraisal”. This means viewing a situation through another emotional lens, such as trying to see an anger-inducing event as one that is neutral or hopeful. The study indicates that creativity is something that can be trained.“Whenever we break away from our existing perspective and try to think about something that’s different from our initial reaction, there’s a creative element to it. If we can practise or train that flexible-thinking muscle, it may help us be more creative over time,”said lead author Lily Zhu, an assistant professor at Washington State University. For the study, Zhu and her colleagues conducted two similar experiments. In the first experiment with 335 people recruited through a crowdsourcing platform, the participants were first ranked on their openness levels and then shown a film scene designed to elicit (引起) anger. While viewing, they were given different instructions: to suppress their emotions, to think about something else to distract themselves or to try emotional reappraisal—looking at the scene through another lens. Some were also given no instruction on how to regulate their feelings. After viewing the film, the participants were asked to come up with an idea to use an empty space in their building. Those ideas were then evaluated by a panel of experts who did not know anything about the participants. Ideas such as using the space for “napping capsules” were considered highly creative whereas ideas like opening a similar cafeteria as before were considered low in creativity. The next experiment had a different group of 177 participants write about an experience that made them angry. They were then tasked with either writing about it again from a different emotional perspective or writing about something else as a distraction. In both experiments, conventional thinking participants who tried emotional reappraisal came up with more creative ideas than other conventional thinkers who used suppression, distraction or no emotional regulation strategy at all. Notably, for participants who were considered creative thinkers to begin with, emotional reappraisal did not seem to have much effect on their creativity. As to the implications of the study, Zhu suggested that supervisors in workplace should develop trainings to cultivate creative thinking skills in employees. Individuals can also practise emotional reappraisal when confronted with a crisis or challenge instead of suppressing negative emotions. 18. Which of the following is most probably an example of emotional reappraisal? A. Considering an occurrence objectively. B. Taking one’s success as an opportunity. C. Distracting oneself from an annoying event. D. Regarding disappointment as a turning point. 19. From the study, we know that ________. A. creative thinkers’ creativity was enhanced after practising emotional reappraisal B. evaluating experts had adequate information about the research subjects C. the research findings could be applied to the training of employees D. the first experiment aimed to select the most creative design 20. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Change Feelings to Boost Creativity B. Effective Strategies to Manage Emotions C. Think Over to Explore Creative Potential D. A New Way to Remove Negative Emotions D As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect. Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To make full use of the technology, such qualities are equally important. Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. 21. The writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process is ________. A. the threats from technology B. the challenge of upskilling workforces C. the culture of quiet quitting D. the shortage of experienced workers 22. It can be learned from Paragraph 4 and 5 that ________. A. replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key B. high requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce C. employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces D. business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool 23. What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Crucial. B. Beneficial. C. Challenging D. Inspiring 24. What might be the purpose of the passage? A. To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills. B. To warn humans of the potential problems with technology. C. To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills. D. To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap. 第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Adults are often embarrassed about asking for aid. It’s an act that can make people feel emotionally unsafe.____25____Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school, even when they need it, for the same reason. Until recently, psychologists assumed that children did not start to care about their reputation and their friends’ thoughts about them until around age nine. But our research suggests that as early as age seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others. At some point, every child struggles in the classroom.____26____ To learn more about how children think about reputation, we created simple stories and then asked children questions about these situations to allow kids to showcase their thinking. Across several studies, we asked 576 children, ages four to nine, to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, we told children that both kids did poorly on a test.____27____The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two kids as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. And children’s expectations were truly “reputational” in nature-they were specifically thinking about how the characters would act in front of others. When assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it. ____28____Teachers could give children more opportunities to seek assistance privately. They should also help students realize asking questions in front of others as normal, positive behavior. ____29____Parents could point out how a child’s question kicked off a valuable conversation in which the entire family got to talk and learn together. Adults could praise kids for seeking assistance. These responses send a strong signal that other people value a willingness to ask for aid and that seeking help is part of a path to success. A. Kids could be afraid to ask their parents for help. B. Seeking help could even be taught as socially desirable. C. In another study we told them that only one kid did poorly. D. Such reputational barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. E. The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal that you are lost. F. But if they are afraid to ask for help because their classmates are watching, learning will suffer. G. We then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class to ask the teacher for help. 第Ⅱ卷 三、根据语境拼写单词（本大题共6小题，共6分） 30.

Recently, the House of Hope charity for the homeless and people with addictions and other mental health issues partnered with Project L.I.F.T. an organization that helps at-risk teens, to grow community gardens in four small towns across the county. The teens in Project L.I. F.T.’s program—many of them aged 14-19 who are also struggling with addictions, managing mental health or legal issues—visit the gardens every day after school where they grow seeds, maintain and water plants, harvest the produce and learn to create their own meals. They take some of the produce home to their families but most is sent to House of Hope for the homeless community. Beyond the need for food, Project L.I.F.T. hoped the gardens would provide an educational opportunity for their teens. “We’re trying to teach kids nutrition to deal with the health problems—diabetes and obesity—in our community, but when we get into the garden, now they’re doing hands-on stuff that really connects.” Bob Zaccheo, the executive director of Project L.I.F.T. tells Guideposts. org. The gardens also offer the teens professional skills that can help them find work later in their largely rural county. Beyond skills, this project has helped the teens find confidence and hope for their futures. So far, the four gardens around Martin County have generated 100 pounds of produce for House of Hope and the community at large. Although the amount of food can’t meet the greater need of the area, the program is an opportunity to teach kids that the importance of giving back is just as valuable as the food they’re harvesting. “You see a major shift in the thinking of these kids,” Zaccheo says. “You see them giving. The kids are learning to give at a bigger level than they’ve ever been able to give at before.” 52. What kind of organization is Project L.L.F.T.? ______________________________________________________________________ 53. What do the teens do when they visit the gardens? ______________________________________________________________________ 54. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The four gardens were built only to provide an educational opportunity for at-risk teens. ______________________________________________________________________ 55. In addition to what is mentioned in the passage, what else could at-risk teens learn through community gardening? Explain why.

Tensions rose with every move and shouting matches were constant. When everything came to a boil, Nia found it best to keep silent. She became more and more withdrawn as she got older, losing confidence in herself and her voice. When she was a young adult, Nia had developed a fear of speaking. So when a friend told her about YouthCare’s Tile Project, she was terrified. But Nia wanted to take steps to find a job and support herself. She finally took a deep breath and decided to give it a shot. Nia signed up for a ceramic (陶瓷) class. The passion she gained for learning a new craft was clear-but when it came to group activities in the classroom, Nia struggled. She told staff that she didn’t like being around people she didn’t know. So when the class was given the opportunity to sell their artwork at a local fair, Nia hesitated. With the support from YouthCare Career Coordinator, Kate, she cautiously agreed. When the big day came, shoppers poured into the fair, approaching Nia with questions about the program and art pieces for sale.

In a set of experiments, researchers found that conventional thinkers came up with more creative ideas than peers after they practised “emotional reappraisal”. This means viewing a situation through another emotional lens, such as trying to see an anger-inducing event as one that is neutral or hopeful. The study indicates that creativity is something that can be trained.“Whenever we break away from our existing perspective and try to think about something that’s different from our initial reaction, there’s a creative element to it. If we can practise or train that flexible-thinking muscle, it may help us be more creative over time,”said lead author Lily Zhu, an assistant professor at Washington State University. For the study, Zhu and her colleagues conducted two similar experiments. In the first experiment with 335 people recruited through a crowdsourcing platform, the participants were first ranked on their openness levels and then shown a film scene designed to elicit (引起) anger. While viewing, they were given different instructions: to suppress their emotions, to think about something else to distract themselves or to try emotional reappraisal—looking at the scene through another lens. Some were also given no instruction on how to regulate their feelings. After viewing the film, the participants were asked to come up with an idea to use an empty space in their building. Those ideas were then evaluated by a panel of experts who did not know anything about the participants. Ideas such as using the space for “napping capsules” were considered highly creative whereas ideas like opening a similar cafeteria as before were considered low in creativity. The next experiment had a different group of 177 participants write about an experience that made them angry. They were then tasked with either writing about it again from a different emotional perspective or writing about something else as a distraction. In both experiments, conventional thinking participants who tried emotional reappraisal came up with more creative ideas than other conventional thinkers who used suppression, distraction or no emotional regulation strategy at all. Notably, for participants who were considered creative thinkers to begin with, emotional reappraisal did not seem to have much effect on their creativity. As to the implications of the study, Zhu suggested that supervisors in workplace should develop trainings to cultivate creative thinking skills in employees. Individuals can also practise emotional reappraisal when confronted with a crisis or challenge instead of suppressing negative emotions. 18. Which of the following is most probably an example of emotional reappraisal? A. Considering an occurrence objectively. B. Taking one’s success as an opportunity. C. Distracting oneself from an annoying event. D. Regarding disappointment as a turning point. 19. From the study, we know that ________. A. creative thinkers’ creativity was enhanced after practising emotional reappraisal B. evaluating experts had adequate information about the research subjects C. the research findings could be applied to the training of employees D. the first experiment aimed to select the most creative design 20. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Change Feelings to Boost Creativity B. Effective Strategies to Manage Emotions C. Think Over to Explore Creative Potential D. A New Way to Remove Negative Emotions 【答案】18. D 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述一项研究表明尝试情绪重新评估的传统思维者能够提出更多的创意，并且介绍了这项研究的过程。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a set of experiments, researchers found that conventional thinkers came up with more creative ideas than peers after they practised “emotional reappraisal” .This means viewing a situation through another emotional lens, such as trying to see an anger-inducing event as one that is neutral or hopeful. (在一系列实验中，研究人员发现，传统思考者在练习了“情绪重新评估”之后，比同龄人想出了更多的创造性想法。这意味着从另一个情感角度看待一个情况，比如试图把一个引起愤怒的事件看作是中性的或充满希望的)”可知情绪重新评估意味着从另一个情感角度看问题，所以D选项“把失望当作转折点。”符合情绪重新评估，故选D。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As to the implications of the study, Zhu suggested that supervisors in workplace should develop trainings to cultivate creative thinking skills in employees. Individuals can also practise emotional reappraisal when confronted with a crisis or challenge instead of suppressing negative emotions. (对于该研究的启示，朱建议工作场所的主管应该开展培训，培养员工的创造性思维技能。当面临危机或挑战时，个人也可以练习情绪重新评估，而不是压抑负面情绪。)”可推断，研究结果可以应用于员工的培训，故选C。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一句“Even people who tend to think conventionally, such as accountants, can be creative, a recent study suggests, if they can look at emotional situations in a different light. (最近的一项研究表明，即使是那些倾向于传统思维的人，比如会计师，如果他们能从不同的角度看待情绪状况，他们也可以很有创造力)”可知本文主要讲述一项研究表明尝试情绪重新评估的传统思维者能够提出更多的创意，A选项“改变情绪，激发创造力”符合本文主旨，故选A。 D As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect. Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to ignore the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To make full use of the technology, such qualities are equally important. Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. 21. The writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process is ________. A. the threats from technology B. the challenge of upskilling workforces C. the culture of quiet quitting D. the shortage of experienced workers 22. It can be learned from Paragraph 4 and 5 that ________. A. replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key B. high requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce C. employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces D. business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool 23. What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Crucial. B. Beneficial. C. Challenging D. Inspiring 24. What might be the purpose of the passage? A. To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills. B. To warn humans of the potential problems with technology. C. To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills. D. To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. A 24. C 【解析】 【导语】文章探讨了在当前经济不确定性背景下，数字技能缺口对企业采用新技术、推动增长的阻碍，强调提升员工数字技能对数字转型的重要性。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. (毕竟，让员工跟上最新进展是数字化转型过程的一个关键要素，如果我们希望在实现持续增长的努力中提高企业生产力和效率，这一点将被证明是至关重要的。)”以及第三段中“This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. (这就是为什么我们需要紧急解决数字技能差距问题。)”可知，作者在数字化转型过程中主要关注的是提升员工技能的挑战。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. (而且，在吸引和赋能现有员工方面，学习和发展机会将是关键，帮助员工提升技能，既有利于自己，也有利于雇主。)”以及第五段中“Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. (创造一种强调个人成长的学习文化，可以成为工作场所中令人印象深刻的激励因素。)”可知，雇主应该在员工中培养一种学习文化。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. (从根本上说，如果企业要成功，正确处理人与技术之间的互动将是paramount。)”以及后文“As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. (因此，人的技能不能被低估。)”可知，正确处理人与技术之间的互动对企业成功至关重要，由此可推知，paramount意为“至关重要的”，与Crucial意思相近。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. (事实上，日益扩大的数字技能差距有可能阻止企业采用改变游戏规则的技术，而这些技术将有助于在未来几个月和几年推动增长。)”以及第三段中“This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. (这就是为什么我们需要紧急解决数字技能差距问题。)”以及最后一段中“Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. (每个企业都需要一系列具有各种技能的人——不仅包括精通数学、工程和科学的人，还包括具有创造性思维和领导才能的人。)”可知，文章主要论述了数字技能差距对企业数字化转型的挑战，并强调了提升员工技能和培养学习文化的重要性，同时指出企业需要结合硬技能和软技能，才能成功应对未来的挑战。由此可推知，文章的写作目的是强调将硬技能与软技能相结合的重要性。 第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Adults are often embarrassed about asking for aid. It’s an act that can make people feel emotionally unsafe.____25____Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school, even when they need it, for the same reason. Until recently, psychologists assumed that children did not start to care about their reputation and their friends’ thoughts about them until around age nine. But our research suggests that as early as age seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others. At some point, every child struggles in the classroom.____26____ To learn more about how children think about reputation, we created simple stories and then asked children questions about these situations to allow kids to showcase their thinking. Across several studies, we asked 576 children, ages four to nine, to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart, and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, we told children that both kids did poorly on a test.____27____The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two kids as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. And children’s expectations were truly “reputational” in nature-they were specifically thinking about how the characters would act in front of others. When assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it. ____28____Teachers could give children more opportunities to seek assistance privately. They should also help students realize asking questions in front of others as normal, positive behavior. ____29____Parents could point out how a child’s question kicked off a valuable conversation in which the entire family got to talk and learn together. Adults could praise kids for seeking assistance. These responses send a strong signal that other people value a willingness to ask for aid and that seeking help is part of a path to success. A. Kids could be afraid to ask their parents for help. B. Seeking help could even be taught as socially desirable. C. In another study we told them that only one kid did poorly. D. Such reputational barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. E. The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal that you are lost. F. But if they are afraid to ask for help because their classmates are watching, learning will suffer. G. We then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class to ask the teacher for help. 【答案】25. E 26. F 27. G 28. D 29. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。给读者提供建议，如何解决孩子因为害怕在他人面前呈现自己的无能而不愿提问寻求帮助这一问题。 【25题详解】 上文“Adults are often embarrassed about asking for aid. It’s an act that can make people feel emotionally unsafe. (成年人在寻求援助时常常感到尴尬。这是一种会让人们感到情绪不安全的行为。)”指出，成年人不愿意寻求帮助，是因为会让他们感到情绪不安全。下文“Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. (寻求帮助可能会让人觉得你在散播自己的无能。)”指出，寻求帮助会让人觉得你无能。选项E“The moment you ask for directions, after all, you reveal that you are lost. (毕竟，当你问路的那一刻，你就表明你迷路了。)”延续上文，以问路表明自己的迷路这一例子呈现出为什么会让人感到情绪不安全，也呈现出下文所说的表明了“你”的无能，故符合语境。故选E项。 【26题详解】 上文“But our research suggests that as early as age seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others. At some point, every child struggles in the classroom. (但我们的研究表明，早在七岁时，孩子们就开始将寻求帮助与在他人面前看起来无能联系起来。在某些时候，每个孩子都在教室里挣扎。)”指出，孩童也会讲寻求帮助和让他人觉得自己无能联系起来。选项F“But if they are afraid to ask for help because their classmates are watching, learning will suffer. (但是，如果他们因为同学在看而不敢寻求帮助，学习就会受到影响。)”进一步指出，如果孩子因为害怕呈现出自己的无能而不寻求帮助，这会带来不良影响。故选F项。 【27题详解】 上文“In one study, we told children that both kids did poorly on a test. (在一项研究中，我们告诉孩子们，两个孩子在测试中都表现不佳。)”指出，在一个研究中，参与者得知了有两个孩子在测试中表现不佳这一情况。选项G“We then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class to ask the teacher for help. (然后，我们问这些角色中哪一个更有可能在课堂前举手向老师寻求帮助。)”延续上文，继续指出这个研究的下一个动作为：判断这两个孩子谁更有可能寻求老实的帮助。故选G项。 【28题详解】 下文“Teachers could give children more opportunities to seek assistance privately. (教师可以给孩子们更多的机会私下寻求帮助。)”指出，教师应该多私下提供机会帮助孩子们。选项D“Such reputational barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. (此类声誉障碍可能需要基于声誉的解决方案。)”指出，这类问题的解决需要一些特定的方案，下文是对这一表述的具体建议之一，故此句符合该语境要求。故选D项。 【29题详解】 上文“They should also help students realize asking questions in front of others as normal, positive behavior. (他们还应该帮助学生认识到在别人面前提问是一种正常的、积极的行为。)”指出，要教育学生认识到在他人面前提问是正常的行为。选项B“Seeking help could even be taught as socially desirable. (寻求帮助甚至可以被认为是社会所需要的。)”指出寻求帮助是这会所需要的，这进一步佐证上文观点，让“在他人面前提问是正常积极的行为”这一观点根据可信度，符合语境。故选B项。 第Ⅱ卷 三、根据语境拼写单词（本大题共6小题，共6分） 30.

Recently, the House of Hope charity for the homeless and people with addictions and other mental health issues partnered with Project L.I.F.T. an organization that helps at-risk teens, to grow community gardens in four small towns across the county. The teens in Project L.I. F.T.’s program—many of them aged 14-19 who are also struggling with addictions, managing mental health or legal issues—visit the gardens every day after school where they grow seeds, maintain and water plants, harvest the produce and learn to create their own meals. They take some of the produce home to their families but most is sent to House of Hope for the homeless community. Beyond the need for food, Project L.I.F.T. hoped the gardens would provide an educational opportunity for their teens. “We’re trying to teach kids nutrition to deal with the health problems—diabetes and obesity—in our community, but when we get into the garden, now they’re doing hands-on stuff that really connects.” Bob Zaccheo, the executive director of Project L.I.F.T. tells Guideposts. org. The gardens also offer the teens professional skills that can help them find work later in their largely rural county. Beyond skills, this project has helped the teens find confidence and hope for their futures. So far, the four gardens around Martin County have generated 100 pounds of produce for House of Hope and the community at large. Although the amount of food can’t meet the greater need of the area, the program is an opportunity to teach kids that the importance of giving back is just as valuable as the food they’re harvesting. “You see a major shift in the thinking of these kids,” Zaccheo says. “You see them giving. The kids are learning to give at a bigger level than they’ve ever been able to give at before.” 52.

F.T.’ s program—many of them aged 14-19 who are also struggling with addictions, managing mental health or legal issues—visit the gardens every day after school where they grow seeds, maintain and water plants, harvest the produce and learn to create their own meals.(参加L.I. F.T计划的青少年——其中许多年龄在14-19岁之间，他们也在与毒瘾作斗争，处理心理健康或法律问题——每天放学后都会去花园，在那里他们种种子，维护和浇灌植物，收获农产品，并学习自己做饭。)”可知，他们在花园里会种种子，维护和浇灌植物，收获农产品，并学习自己做饭。故答案为They grow seeds, maintain and water plants, harvest the produce and learn to create their own meals. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“They take some of the produce home to their families but most is sent to House of Hope for the homeless community.(他们把一些农产品带回家，但大部分都送到了无家可归者社区的希望之家。)”和第三段“Beyond the need for food, Project L.I.F.T. hoped the gardens would provide an educational opportunity for their teens.(除了对食物的需求，L.I.F.T.项目还希望菜园能为他们的青少年提供教育机会。)”可知，花园不仅仅是为了用来给高危青少年提供教育机会而建的，还用于给无家可归的人提供食物等。故答案为The four gardens were built only to provide an educational opportunity for at-risk teens. The four gardens were built to provide both food for homeless people and an educational opportunity for at-risk teens. 【55题详解】 开放性问题。答案符合逻辑即可，注意字数。例如：他们可以学会更好地相互合作，也学会回报他们在园艺过程中得到的爱，并将这种能量和爱传递给需要帮助的人。故答案为：They can learn to cooperate with each other better and also learn to give back the love they have received during gardening and also pass that energy and love to others who need help. 第二节（20分） 56. 假设你是红星中学高二学生李华。你校来自英国的交换生Jim发邮件请你推荐一门学校特色课程。请你用英文给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 你推荐的课程； 2. 你的理由。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, Glad to receive your email.
