Liam ____10____ to a man jogging by. “See that guy? He’s running, but he’s ____11____. Maybe it’s not about the running itself, but how he feels about doing it.”
Emma raised an eyebrow. “So, you’re saying it’s about the perspective (思考方法) ?”
“ ____12____,” Liam said. “Maybe it is not the tasks themselves, but how we see them that makes us bored. The small things can be important ____13____ we find meaning in what we do.”
Emma thought for a moment. “But how do you find meaning in something like dealing with paperwork?”

Each piece might seem ____15____ or unimportant, but gradually, they are put together and create something meaningful. It’s up to us to see the bigger ____16____.”
“So, it’s not about changing what we do, but how we see it.” Emma nodded ____17____ .

【解析】
【导语】本文通过Emma和Liam在公园的对话,探讨了日常生活的意义,强调改变看待事物的视角,平凡之事也能变得有意义。
【6题详解】
句意:然后,Emma打破了沉默。
上文“without any words”表明两人之前处于安静状态,所以是打破silence“沉默”,record“记录”、rule“规则”不符合语境。
【7题详解】
句意:Liam完全不知道,怀疑地问道:“你是什么意思?”
“Having totally no idea”和“What do you mean?”表明,此处指感到困惑和doubt“怀疑”,relief“宽慰”、happiness“快乐”不符合情感色彩。
【8题详解】
句意:感觉……无聊,就像我们只是在完成任务。
上文“repeat”和“just finishing the task”表明,这种重复的生活感觉是boring“无聊的”,relaxing“放松的”、surprising“令人惊讶的”与重复劳动的语境相反。
【9题详解】
句意:但这背后难道没有更大的东西吗?
此处指代上文提到的日常生活或这种状况,应用代词it“它”,me“我”、her“她”指代对象错误。
【10题详解】
句意:Liam指向一个慢跑经过的男人。
下文“See that guy?”表明是用手“指向”某人引起注意,pointed“指向”符合语境,talked“说话”、wrote“写”不符。
【11题详解】
句意:他在跑步,但他正在微笑。
下文“how he feels about doing it”以及积极的语境表明,跑步者应该是享受的,所以在smiling“微笑”,shouting“喊叫”、crying“哭”不符合积极语境。
【12题详解】
句意:“确切地说,”Liam说。
Emma总结了对方的观点,Liam表示完全同意,常用“Exactly”表示“确切如此”,Simply“简单地”、Normally“正常地”语气不符。
【13题详解】
句意:小事可能很重要,如果我们能在所做的事里找到意义。
前后句是条件关系,找到意义是小事变重要的条件,故用if“如果”,until“直到”、so“所以”逻辑关系不通。
【14题详解】
句意:也许文书工作对别人有帮助,或者也许是迈向更大目标的一步。
step towards a goal“迈向目标的一步”,固定搭配,at“在”、after“在……之后”搭配不当。
【15题详解】
句意:每一块碎片可能看似渺小或不重要,但渐渐地,它们被组合在一起,创造出有意义的东西。
拼图碎片通常是small“小的”,colourful“色彩鲜艳的”、ugly“丑陋的”不符合拼图特征。
【16题详解】
句意:我们要去看到更宏大的画面。
see the bigger picture“看到大局/全貌”,固定短语,符合拼图比喻,task“任务”、problem“问题”无此搭配。
【17题详解】
句意:Emma慢慢地点头。
Emma正在思考并理解道理,点头动作应是深思熟虑的,slowly“慢慢地”符合语境,directly“直接地”、impatiently“不耐烦地”不符合思考状态。
【18题详解】
句意:当你改变看待某件事的方式时,即使是平常的事情也能变得有意义。
上文“perspective”和“how we see them”表明,此处指“看待”事物的方式,look at“看待”符合语境,look up“查阅”、look after“照顾”不符。
【19题详解】
句意:当你改变看待某件事的方式时,即使是平常的事情也能变得有意义。
此处与“meaningful”形成对比,指common“平常的”,special“特别的”、strange“奇怪的”不符合对比逻辑。
【20题详解】
句意:她的眼睛变得更明亮了。
“I think I get it now”表明,理解后的眼神通常形容为“明亮”,brighter“更明亮的”符合语境,代表希望或顿悟,wider“更宽的”、wetter“更湿的”不符合情感表达。

Growing up is not always easy. Everyone will face growing pains, such as failing exams, losing friends or having arguments with parents. These pains make us feel sad and upset, but they are also valuable lessons for us.
I still remember a big growing pain I had when I was in Grade Seven. I failed my English exam badly. I studied hard for it, but I still got a low mark. I felt very sad and I didn’t want to talk to anyone. My English teacher found my sadness and talked to me patiently. She said that failure is not terrible, and the most important thing is to find out the reasons for the failure and improve. She helped me analyze (分析) my exam paper and told me my weaknesses.
After that, I changed my study methods. I listened more carefully in class, did more exercises and asked the teacher for help when I had problems. Three months later, I got a good mark in the next English exam. Through this experience, I learned that failure is a stepping stone to success. I also became more hard-working and confident.
Growing pains are part of our life. They make us grow up and become better. We should face them bravely, learn from them and turn the pains into gains.

【C】
Teamwork is the ability to work cooperatively with others to achieve a common goal. It plays an important role in our study, daily life and future work.
In a team, members have different advantages and skills. Some are creative and good at coming up with valuable ideas. Some are patient and careful with details. Others are good at communicating or organizing activities. If everyone acts alone and refuses to listen to each other, the work will probably be inefficient and in a mess. However, if team members support each other, take on different roles and make full use of their strengths, the task will be completed more easily and successfully.
At school, teamwork is widely needed in group projects, class activities and sports events. It not only improves our work efficiency but also teaches us to respect others, express opinions properly and solve problems together. What’s more, it helps us develop a sense of responsibility and learn to care about the whole team.
In fact, good teamwork requires understanding and communication. But once a team works well together, everyone can make progress and achieve more than they can alone.
28. What is teamwork according to the passage?
A. Working alone to finish a task
B. Working with others for a common goal
C. Doing everything in one’s own way
29. What will happen if people act alone in a team?
A. The work will be efficient B. The work will be in a mess C. The task will be completed easily
30. Which is NOT mentioned as something we learn from teamwork?
A. Cooking delicious food B. Respecting and caring for others C. Solving problems together
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Teamwork is important and valuable
B. Everyone has the same advantages
C. Activities are more important than study
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了团队合作的重要性及价值。
【28题详解】
根据第一段第一句“Teamwork is the ability to work cooperatively with others to achieve a common goal.”可知,团队合作是为了共同目标与他人一起工作。
【29题详解】
根据第二段“If everyone acts alone and refuses to listen to each other, the work will probably be inefficient and in a mess.”可知,单独行动会导致工作混乱。
【30题详解】

【31题详解】

任务型阅读:
Last year, I faced a difficult time that made me grow a lot. I loved playing the piano very much and practiced it for two hours every day. I wanted to take part in an important piano competition in our city. I spent months preparing for it carefully.
However, I hurt my right hand badly one month before the competition. I couldn’t play the piano anymore for a long time. I felt very sad and hopeless. I cried every day and didn’t want to talk to anyone. I thought I would never love piano or play it again.
My mother noticed my pain. She didn’t blame me or push me to practice. Instead, she sat next to me and said, “Pain is part of life. It doesn’t mean the end, but a chance to become stronger.” She encouraged me to relax and listen to beautiful piano music instead of playing it. Slowly, I started to change. I learned to accept the pain and understood that it’s okay to feel sad sometimes. I began to read more books about music and learn about great musicians. Most of them also had hard times in their lives, but they never gave up their love for music. After three months, my hand got better. I started to practice the piano again, but this time, I didn’t care much about the results of competitions. I just enjoyed the fun of playing it. This painful experience taught me something valuable.
32. What did the writer prepare for before hurting her right hand?

Growing up is not always easy. Everyone will face growing pains, such as failing exams, losing friends or having arguments with parents. These pains make us feel sad and upset, but they are also valuable lessons for us.
I still remember a big growing pain I had when I was in Grade Seven. I failed my English exam badly. I studied hard for it, but I still got a low mark. I felt very sad and I didn’t want to talk to anyone. My English teacher found my sadness and talked to me patiently. She said that failure is not terrible, and the most important thing is to find out the reasons for the failure and improve. She helped me analyze (分析) my exam paper and told me my weaknesses.
After that, I changed my study methods. I listened more carefully in class, did more exercises and asked the teacher for help when I had problems. Three months later, I got a good mark in the next English exam. Through this experience, I learned that failure is a stepping stone to success. I also became more hard-working and confident.
Growing pains are part of our life. They make us grow up and become better. We should face them bravely, learn from them and turn the pains into gains.

Teamwork is the ability to work cooperatively with others to achieve a common goal. It plays an important role in our study, daily life and future work.
In a team, members have different advantages and skills. Some are creative and good at coming up with valuable ideas. Some are patient and careful with details. Others are good at communicating or organizing activities. If everyone acts alone and refuses to listen to each other, the work will probably be inefficient and in a mess. However, if team members support each other, take on different roles and make full use of their strengths, the task will be completed more easily and successfully.
At school, teamwork is widely needed in group projects, class activities and sports events. It not only improves our work efficiency but also teaches us to respect others, express opinions properly and solve problems together. What’s more, it helps us develop a sense of responsibility and learn to care about the whole team.
In fact, good teamwork requires understanding and communication. But once a team works well together, everyone can make progress and achieve more than they can alone.
28. What is teamwork according to the passage?
A. Working alone to finish a task
B. Working with others for a common goal
C. Doing everything in one’s own way

任务型阅读:
Last year, I faced a difficult time that made me grow a lot. I loved playing the piano very much and practiced it for two hours every day. I wanted to take part in an important piano competition in our city. I spent months preparing for it carefully.
However, I hurt my right hand badly one month before the competition. I couldn’t play the piano anymore for a long time. I felt very sad and hopeless. I cried every day and didn’t want to talk to anyone. I thought I would never love piano or play it again.
My mother noticed my pain. She didn’t blame me or push me to practice. Instead, she sat next to me and said, “Pain is part of life. It doesn’t mean the end, but a chance to become stronger.” She encouraged me to relax and listen to beautiful piano music instead of playing it. Slowly, I started to change. I learned to accept the pain and understood that it’s okay to feel sad sometimes. I began to read more books about music and learn about great musicians. Most of them also had hard times in their lives, but they never gave up their love for music. After three months, my hand got better. I started to practice the piano again, but this time, I didn’t care much about the results of competitions. I just enjoyed the fun of playing it. This painful experience taught me something valuable.
