Planning a camping trip this summer? Canada has a variety of options. We hand selected these sites for you because camping is such an important part of the summer experience in our country.
Pacific Rim National Park
The main draw: Long Beach is the best Pacific experience—22 kilometres of sand with a horizon that disappears into the ocean. The campsites here sit very close to the ocean.
Things to do: Start by exploring the beach. Of course, you can also go for a swim, but be aware that the water is about 10℃. If you’re into surfing, there are almost always waves at Long Beach. Grey whales spend the summer in the waters just offshore, providing whale watching opportunities.
Alice Lake Provincial Park
The main draw: What this small park lacks in size, it makes up for in location, sitting just north of Squamish — “Canada’s Outdoor Recreation Capital”. Campground paths link into the area’s world-class mountain-biking network.
Things to do: You can warm up for Squamish mountain biking with a three-kilometre ride starting just outside the campground. You can also cool off with a swim in Alice Lake or relax on its sandy beaches. And don’t miss Squamish’s Howe Sound restaurant here, you can try their delicious wood-fired pizza.
Mount Robson Provincial Park
The main draw: There’s no better place to admire the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies than at the Berg Lake Campground. The campground is located beside a small lake that contains mini icebergs that have broken off from a glacier (冰川) on the mountain above.
Things to do: The Berg Lake area has several world-class hikes. The Snowbird Pass hike is a tough 22-kilometre round trip. The lake provides a peaceful and beautiful environment for visitors to boat and enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery.
Peter Lougheed Provincial Park
The main draw: This camping area in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country is popular with the locals. It has all the characteristics you get in nearby Banff, but without the crowds. You can only reach it by hiking for about three kilometres.
Things to do: Besides fishing, you can relax in the flower-filled fields and enjoy nice mountain views at South Kananaskis Pass. Use kayaks (皮划艇) to explore the shoreline of Upper Kananaskis Lake.
21. What can visitors do in Pacific Rim-National Park?
A. Enjoy fishing. B. Watch grey whales.
C. Try mountain biking. D. Eat a wood-fired pizza.
22. If you want to go for world-class hikes, you can explore ________.
A. Pacific Rim National Park B. Alice Lake Provincial Park
C. Mount Robson Provincial Park D. Peter Lougheed Provincial Park
23. What do the four parks have in common?
A. They all offer water activities. B. They all have peaceful campsites.
C. They all feature beautiful mountain views. D. They all make good destinations for hiking.

Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Chen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern physics, passed away in Beijing on Saturday. “He was 103. He is one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century, having made revolutionary contributions to the development of modern physics,” the statement from Tsinghua University said, praising his contribution to China’s scientific and educational developments.
Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics. In his speech at the Nobel Banquet at the time, he said he was as proud of his Chinese heritage as he was devoted to modern science, a part of human civilization of Western origin. “I am filled with an awareness of the fact that I am in more than one sense a product of both the Chinese and Western cultures, in harmony and in conflict,” according to his speech, shared on the Nobel Prize website.
Yang, also known as Frank or Franklin, was also famous for his Yang-Mills theory developed with American physicist Robert Mills.
Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor, the website said. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua.
He entered the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938, the website said. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
In 1986, he became a distinguished Professor-at-large at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, to which he generously donated many of his awards and articles, including the Nobel Prize. Starting from 1999, he served as a professor at Tsinghua.
According to a 2017 report by China’s official news agency Xinhua, Yang had obtained American citizenship in 1964. He said it was a painful decision, one that his father had not forgiven him for. Later, he renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2015, but he still thought the U.S. was a beautiful country that gave him good opportunities in studying science, the report said.
24. What can we learn about Chen Ning Yang from the passage?
A. He was the most outstanding physicist in the 20th century.
B. He made great contributions to science and education.
C. He donated the Nobel Prize to Tsinghua University.
D. He became the only Chinese to win the Nobel Prize.
25. What can be inferred about Yang’s academic and cultural background?
A. Fermi directly helped Yang develop Yang-Mills theory.
B. His achievements were mainly influenced by his father.
C. His study experiences shaped his different cultural identities.
D. He considered the U.S. a better research place than China.
26. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To show Yang’s contributions to science.
B. To explain the reasons for Yang’s success.
C. To compare Yang’s life in China and the United States.
D. To introduce Yang’s life experiences and achievements.
C
The “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Yet it became famous not because of the semi-smile, but a thief. It remained unknown until a worker stole it in 1911 and crowds flooded in to see what newspapers called “a shocking empty space” left behind.
Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book Written in Water, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water,” she argues. Classics come and go.
The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing tastes; art itself has changed. In the past, artists aimed to capture perfect beauty. They learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures. But this changed when people saw a real ancient Greek sculptures from the Parthenon (帕特农神庙). Unlike the clean, perfect Roman copies everyone knew, these were worn and damaged by time. Suddenly, the “perfect” beauty looked fake compared to these real ancient pieces. This discovery made artists question everything they knew about classical art.
The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the 16th century, Italian painter Giorgio Vasari praised Raphael and Michelangelo’s realistic style as the highest art form. But in the 19th century, critic John Ruskin changed minds by saying true “Old Masters” were actually medieval (中世纪) religious painters, inspiring the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Now, when we see today’s “masterpieces” selling for millions at auction (拍卖), it makes you wonder: what will future critics think of them?
We call some artworks “classics”, but do we really understand why? Taste evolves, and it should. But what happens to our culture when people stop arguing over what counts as a classic? Ms. Gurstein makes it clear: we need to rethink those famous “masterpieces” in museums.
27. By mentioning “Mona Lisa” in Paragraph 1, the author intends to?
A. highlight her mysterious smile. B. show classics win fame by chance.
C. recognize her as a world classic. D. inform readers of the 1911 art theft.
28. What does “written in water” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Easily forgotten. B. Perfectly preserved.
C. Written in special ink. D. Created near the water.
29. What does the text suggest about today’s expensive “masterpieces”?
A. They will become invaluable. B. They will stand the test of time.
C. Their artistic value is uncertain. D. Their beauty will become fake.
30. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is True Beauty Timeless? B. Can Theft Create Masterpieces?
C. Is There such thing as a classic? D. Do Critics influence Art’s Value?
D
When you hear “I have a dream…”, one of the most famous speeches in human history, you’ll never have the idea how the audience on the scene were fueled by emotional intelligence. When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.
Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖) a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at controlling others. When you’re good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests.
Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research conducted by Professor Jochen Menges from University of Toronto, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to examine the message closely and remember the content. Ironically (讽刺的是), audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it.
The authors call this the awestruck (敬畏的) effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).”
Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our abilities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own, the results can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have selfish motives, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for controlling others.
Throwing light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Professor Kilduffs team writes, “The strategic disguise of one’s own emotions and the controlling of others’ emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare’s stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.”
Of course, people aren’t always using emotional intelligence for evil ends. More often than not, high EQ is helpful in most aspects of our life. Emotional intelligence — like any skill — can be used for good or evil. So whether it is a gift or a curse lies in your hand.
31. Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?
A. To advocate a society with fewer problems. B. To recommend his speech to other leaders.
C. To honor the great leader for his courage. D. To introduce the major topic to readers.
32. What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitler’s emotional intelligence?
A. His followers would tear open their hearts to him.
B. His followers would express emotions strategically.
C. His followers would develop the self-serving motives.
D. His followers would lose the ability to reason properly.
33. How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain?
A. They disguise their true emotions and show another one.
B. They present their strategic behaviors on the stage.
C. They help their colleagues to build up confidence.
D. They lower their own dignity to gain popularity.
34. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The benefits of emotional intelligence. B. The reasons for using emotional skills.
C. The dark side of emotional intelligence. D. The advantages and disadvantages of emotions.

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。
Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary and develop your understanding of a language while enjoying your time. ____35____ But are you feeling confused by what to read? Here are some useful tips for you.
For beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple. Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words and the themes are sometimes hard to understand. Children’s books can be a great place to start with. ____36____ His books are written in perfect rhyme (押韵) and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.
____37____ This book isn’t too difficult and if you’ve seen the film, it may be easier to follow. If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm’s I am David is a good read.
If you’re not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes?____38____ Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargreaves’s Mr Menand Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.
My last piece of advice is to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you will enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find that type in English. ____39____
A. For example, Dr Seuss’s books are sure to make you laugh.
B. All in all, the key to success is choosing the right book for you.
C. It means reading books can bring you knowledge as well as fun.
D. How much you can understand a book depends on your vocabulary.
E. You’re more likely to enjoy reading rather than see it as a headache.
F. For more advanced learners, you could try Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
G. It contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme.
第四部分:书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第60、61题各两分,第62题3分,第63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。
Many seemingly bad events in our lives might actually carry hidden blessings. This idea is what we call the broken umbrella theory. So next time, when faced with a small unlucky moment, give it a second thought.
On a rainy morning, David was rushing to an important job interview when his umbrella suddenly collapsed, leaving his suit drenched. Feeling both frustrated and concerned about his appearance, he ducked into a nearby café for shelter. While waiting, he struck up a conversation with a stranger and began discussing his interests, professional background, career ambitions, and more. To his astonishment, the stranger happened to be a manager at a renowned company. Deeply impressed by David’s enthusiasm and solid work experience, the manager offered him a well-paid position on the spot — one far better than the interview he had planned to attend. What initially appeared to be a misfortune unexpectedly turned out to be a remarkable stroke of luck.
In other words, the broken umbrella theory encourages us to change our thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can be less anxious and stop worrying that we can’t manage what’s going on around us. Instead of focusing on small problems that aren’t actually that serious, it helps us learn to see the bigger picture. It also pushes us to find value in the difficulties we face. This way, we become better at dealing with future troubles, thus making us more ready for the future hardships. So, next time we feel ourselves becoming worried or frustrated by an inconvenience, try reshaping our thoughts by telling ourselves what we are thankful for the inconvenience.
While keeping a positive mindset can go a long way, the broken umbrella theory is not without its disadvantages. Be mindful that if we only focus on positive thoughts, we’re actually stopping ourselves from dealing with challenging or tough emotions. We end up just pretending everything is okay, instead of truly understanding how we really feel.
40. What is the broken umbrella theory?
_______________________________________________________________
41. What unexpected opportunity did David gain?
_______________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Concentrating only on positive thoughts helps us handle challenging or tough emotions.
_______________________________________________________________
43. In daily life, how did you handle a bad event using the broken umbrella theory? (In about 40 words)

Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Chen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern physics, passed away in Beijing on Saturday. “He was 103. He is one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century, having made revolutionary contributions to the development of modern physics,” the statement from Tsinghua University said, praising his contribution to China’s scientific and educational developments.
Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics. In his speech at the Nobel Banquet at the time, he said he was as proud of his Chinese heritage as he was devoted to modern science, a part of human civilization of Western origin. “I am filled with an awareness of the fact that I am in more than one sense a product of both the Chinese and Western cultures, in harmony and in conflict,” according to his speech, shared on the Nobel Prize website.
Yang, also known as Frank or Franklin, was also famous for his Yang-Mills theory developed with American physicist Robert Mills.
Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor, the website said. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua.
He entered the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938, the website said. He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
In 1986, he became a distinguished Professor-at-large at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, to which he generously donated many of his awards and articles, including the Nobel Prize. Starting from 1999, he served as a professor at Tsinghua.
According to a 2017 report by China’s official news agency Xinhua, Yang had obtained American citizenship in 1964. He said it was a painful decision, one that his father had not forgiven him for. Later, he renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2015, but he still thought the U.S. was a beautiful country that gave him good opportunities in studying science, the report said.
24. What can we learn about Chen Ning Yang from the passage?
A. He was the most outstanding physicist in the 20th century.
B. He made great contributions to science and education.
C. He donated the Nobel Prize to Tsinghua University.
D. He became the only Chinese to win the Nobel Prize.
25. What can be inferred about Yang’s academic and cultural background?
A. Fermi directly helped Yang develop Yang-Mills theory.
B. His achievements were mainly influenced by his father.
C. His study experiences shaped his different cultural identities.
D. He considered the U.S. a better research place than China.
26. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To show Yang’s contributions to science.
B. To explain the reasons for Yang’s success.
C. To compare Yang’s life in China and the United States.
D. To introduce Yang’s life experiences and achievements.

C
The “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Yet it became famous not because of the semi-smile, but a thief. It remained unknown until a worker stole it in 1911 and crowds flooded in to see what newspapers called “a shocking empty space” left behind.
Classics of art are supposed to carry some mysterious appeal that continues to exist across the ages. But as Rochelle Gurstein, a historian, writes in a new book Written in Water, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stone was actually written in water,” she argues. Classics come and go.
The rise and fall of classics is not just a matter of changing tastes; art itself has changed. In the past, artists aimed to capture perfect beauty. They learned by studying and imitating classical masterpieces, often Roman copies of Greek sculptures. But this changed when people saw a real ancient Greek sculptures from the Parthenon (帕特农神庙). Unlike the clean, perfect Roman copies everyone knew, these were worn and damaged by time. Suddenly, the “perfect” beauty looked fake compared to these real ancient pieces. This discovery made artists question everything they knew about classical art.
The writing of art history has also changed tastes. In the 16th century, Italian painter Giorgio Vasari praised Raphael and Michelangelo’s realistic style as the highest art form. But in the 19th century, critic John Ruskin changed minds by saying true “Old Masters” were actually medieval (中世纪) religious painters, inspiring the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Now, when we see today’s “masterpieces” selling for millions at auction (拍卖), it makes you wonder: what will future critics think of them?
We call some artworks “classics”, but do we really understand why? Taste evolves, and it should. But what happens to our culture when people stop arguing over what counts as a classic? Ms. Gurstein makes it clear: we need to rethink those famous “masterpieces” in museums.
27. By mentioning “Mona Lisa” in Paragraph 1, the author intends to?
A. highlight her mysterious smile. B. show classics win fame by chance.
C. recognize her as a world classic. D. inform readers of the 1911 art theft.
28. What does “written in water” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Easily forgotten. B. Perfectly preserved.
C. Written in special ink. D. Created near the water.
29. What does the text suggest about today’s expensive “masterpieces”?
A. They will become invaluable. B. They will stand the test of time.
C. Their artistic value is uncertain. D. Their beauty will become fake.
30. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Is True Beauty Timeless? B. Can Theft Create Masterpieces?
C. Is There such thing as a classic? D. Do Critics influence Art’s Value?
【答案】27. B 28. A 29. C 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨艺术经典并非永恒,其兴衰受多种因素影响,人们需重新审视经典。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The “Mona Lisa” is probably the most recognizable female face in the world. Yet it became famous not because of the semi-smile, but a thief. (《蒙娜丽莎》可能是世界上最容易辨认的女性面孔。然而,它之所以出名,并不是因为那半露的微笑,而是因为一个小偷。)”可知,作者提及《蒙娜丽莎》是为了说明经典的成名可能带有偶然性,并非完全取决于其本身的艺术价值。故选B项。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Classics come and go.(经典来了又去。)”可知,经典来了又去,由此可知,“written in water”在这里的意思是经典并非永恒存在,就像写在水上的字一样容易消失、被遗忘。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Now, when we see today’s “masterpieces” selling for millions at auction (拍卖), it makes you wonder: what will future critics think of them? (现在,当我们看到如今的‘杰作’在拍卖会上以数百万美元的价格成交时,你会想:未来的评论家会怎么看待它们呢?)”可知,如今昂贵的“杰作”其艺术价值是不确定的,未来可能会有不同的评价。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“Classics come and go. (经典来了又去。)”以及最后一段中的“We call some artworks “classics”, but do we really understand why? Taste evolves, and it should. But what happens to our culture when people stop arguing over what counts as a classic? (我们称一些艺术品为‘经典’,但我们真的明白为什么吗?品味在演变,也应该演变。但是,当人们不再争论什么是经典时,我们的文化会发生什么呢?)”可知,文章主要围绕“是否存在真正的经典”这一话题展开,探讨经典的兴衰和人们对经典的认知变化。因此,“Is There such thing as a classic?(真的有经典这种东西吗?)”适合作为本文标题。故选C项。
D
When you hear “I have a dream…”, one of the most famous speeches in human history, you’ll never have the idea how the audience on the scene were fueled by emotional intelligence. When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.
Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖) a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at controlling others. When you’re good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests.
Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research conducted by Professor Jochen Menges from University of Toronto, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to examine the message closely and remember the content. Ironically (讽刺的是), audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it.
The authors call this the awestruck (敬畏的) effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).”
Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our abilities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own, the results can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have selfish motives, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for controlling others.
Throwing light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Professor Kilduffs team writes, “The strategic disguise of one’s own emotions and the controlling of others’ emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare’s stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.”
Of course, people aren’t always using emotional intelligence for evil ends. More often than not, high EQ is helpful in most aspects of our life. Emotional intelligence — like any skill — can be used for good or evil. So whether it is a gift or a curse lies in your hand.
31. Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?
A. To advocate a society with fewer problems. B. To recommend his speech to other leaders.
C. To honor the great leader for his courage. D. To introduce the major topic to readers.
32. What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitler’s emotional intelligence?
A. His followers would tear open their hearts to him.
B. His followers would express emotions strategically.
C. His followers would develop the self-serving motives.
D. His followers would lose the ability to reason properly.
33. How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain?
A. They disguise their true emotions and show another one.
B. They present their strategic behaviors on the stage.
C. They help their colleagues to build up confidence.
D. They lower their own dignity to gain popularity.
34. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The benefits of emotional intelligence. B. The reasons for using emotional skills.
C. The dark side of emotional intelligence. D. The advantages and disadvantages of emotions.
【答案】31. D 32. D 33. A 34. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是情商及情商的阴暗面。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.(当马丁·路德·金在讲述他的梦想时,他选择了能够触动听众心弦的语言。传递这种激动人心的信息需要情商——即识别、理解和管理情绪的能力)”可知,马丁·路德·金的演讲就是运用了情商。而情商就是文章的主题,所以引用马丁·路德·金的例子就是引出主题。故选D。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).”(一位观察家反映,希特勒的说服力来自于他策略性地表达情绪的能力——他会“撕开自己的心”——这些情绪影响着他的追随者,以至于他们“停止批判性思考,只是情绪化”)”可知,希特勒的情商会让他的追随者失去理智。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain.(根据这些专家的说法,情商可以帮助人们掩饰一种情绪,同时表达另一种情绪以获取个人利益)”可知,情商可以使人们掩饰他们自己的真实情感,展示另一种情感。故选A。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第三段“Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence.(社会科学家已经开始记录情商的黑暗面)”可知,文章前两段介绍什么是情商,从第三段开始主要介绍情商的阴暗面,并举例论证。所以本文主要讲的是情商的阴暗面,故C选项“情商的黑暗面”是文章最佳标题。故选C。

Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary and develop your understanding of a language while enjoying your time. ____35____ But are you feeling confused by what to read? Here are some useful tips for you.

Children’s books can be a great place to start with. ____36____ His books are written in perfect rhyme (押韵) and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.
____37____ This book isn’t too difficult and if you’ve seen the film, it may be easier to follow. If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm’s I am David is a good read.
If you’re not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes?____38____ Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargreaves’s Mr Menand Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.
My last piece of advice is to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you will enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find that type in English. ____39____
A. For example, Dr Seuss’s books are sure to make you laugh.
B. All in all, the key to success is choosing the right book for you.
C. It means reading books can bring you knowledge as well as fun.
D. How much you can understand a book depends on your vocabulary.
E. You’re more likely to enjoy reading rather than see it as a headache.
F. For more advanced learners, you could try Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
G. It contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Many seemingly bad events in our lives might actually carry hidden blessings. This idea is what we call the broken umbrella theory. So next time, when faced with a small unlucky moment, give it a second thought.
On a rainy morning, David was rushing to an important job interview when his umbrella suddenly collapsed, leaving his suit drenched. Feeling both frustrated and concerned about his appearance, he ducked into a nearby café for shelter. While waiting, he struck up a conversation with a stranger and began discussing his interests, professional background, career ambitions, and more. To his astonishment, the stranger happened to be a manager at a renowned company. Deeply impressed by David’s enthusiasm and solid work experience, the manager offered him a well-paid position on the spot — one far better than the interview he had planned to attend. What initially appeared to be a misfortune unexpectedly turned out to be a remarkable stroke of luck.
In other words, the broken umbrella theory encourages us to change our thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can be less anxious and stop worrying that we can’t manage what’s going on around us. Instead of focusing on small problems that aren’t actually that serious, it helps us learn to see the bigger picture. It also pushes us to find value in the difficulties we face. This way, we become better at dealing with future troubles, thus making us more ready for the future hardships. So, next time we feel ourselves becoming worried or frustrated by an inconvenience, try reshaping our thoughts by telling ourselves what we are thankful for the inconvenience.
While keeping a positive mindset can go a long way, the broken umbrella theory is not without its disadvantages. Be mindful that if we only focus on positive thoughts, we’re actually stopping ourselves from dealing with challenging or tough emotions. We end up just pretending everything is okay, instead of truly understanding how we really feel.

【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Many seemingly bad events in our lives might actually carry hidden blessings. This idea is what we call the broken umbrella theory.(我们生活中许多看似不好的事情,实际上可能都隐藏着祝福。这个想法就是我们所说的破伞理论)”可知,破伞理论是指生活中看似不好的事情可能隐藏着祝福。故答案为It’s the idea that seemingly bad events in life may carry hidden blessings.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“To his astonishment, the stranger happened to be a manager at a renowned company. Deeply impressed by David’s enthusiasm and solid work experience, the manager offered him a well-paid position on the spot — one far better than the interview he had planned to attend.(令他惊讶的是,这个陌生人恰好是一家知名公司的经理。经理对David的热情和丰富的工作经验印象深刻,当场就给他提供了一个高薪职位——这个职位比他原本打算参加的面试要好得多)”可知,David在咖啡馆意外得到了来自一家知名公司经理的更好的高薪工作机会。故答案为He got a far better well-paid job offer from a renowned company’s manager in a café.

考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“Be mindful that if we only focus on positive thoughts, we’re actually stopping ourselves from dealing with challenging or tough emotions. We end up just pretending everything is okay, instead of truly understanding how we really feel.(请注意,如果我们只关注积极的想法,我们实际上是在阻止自己处理具有挑战性或艰难的情绪。我们最终只是假装一切都好,而不是真正理解我们的真实感受)”可知,只关注积极的想法“有助于我们处理具有挑战性或艰难的情绪”是错误的,因为如果我们只关注积极的想法,我们实际上是在阻止自己处理具有挑战性或艰难的情绪。故答案为Concentrating only on positive thoughts helps us handle challenging or tough emotions. Explanation: According to the passage, if we only focus on positive thoughts, we stop ourselves from dealing with challenging or tough emotions and just pretend everything is fine instead of understanding real feelings.

【答案】Dear Jim,
How is everything going? I’m very glad to tell you the person I admire most is my math teacher Ms. Wang.
She is the warmest person I have ever met. She is always patient with students who struggle with study, and never blames us when we fail. Instead, she always encourages us to keep trying. When I failed my important math exam last term and wanted to give up, she spent her spare time helping me sort out problems and cheered me up. Now I have made great progress in math, and I’ve learned to stick to my goals instead of giving up easily when facing difficulties.
Who is the person you admire most?
Yours,
Li Hua
