When I was young”和下文“enlightening me with much patience”可知，小时候是母亲耐心地回答作者的问题，也就是说母亲容忍我问不完的问题，耐心地给我开导。故选A。 【10题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：现在我长大了，角色慢慢地颠倒了。A. principles原则；B. roles角色；C. beliefs信仰；D. practices实践。根据上文“When I was young, my mother endured my endless questions, enlightening me with much patience”和下文“As my mother may increasingly need my help, shouldn’t I rethink how to respond to her needs?”可知，小时候是母亲耐心地回答作者的问题，现在作者长大了，角色慢慢地颠倒了，应该是作者耐心地对待母亲。此处指角色互换。故选B。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，共15分） A 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个恰当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you”.

These are usually based on what____18____ (happen) in American pop culture at the time you first became aware of it. It sounds foolish.

As a young child, listening repeatedly to the song, “Heal the World” by Michael Jackson, Orly knew that she wanted to leave her mark and she wanted more than anything to bring people together under the name of peace, respect, and love. Since her teenage years, Orly has worked extensively with tweens and teens as well as local charities in her community providing a helping hand for those who need it most. Orly began her career in kindness as a middle school educator at the Yeshivah of Flatbush in Brooklyn, NY, teaching the children to use the power they have to influence the world for good. With 8,000 cards, she started a wave of pay-it-forward kindness. Each card contained an act of kindness that once completed, would be passed onto another person. Her project succeeded, enhancing the lives of her students and raising their sense of self-worth as they saw their direct hand in causing a ripple (涟漪) effect. Even now, people may encounter Orly giving out her famed Acts of Kindness Cards on the subway. Desiring to make a larger impact with her beneficent work and after having been inspired by a small sign on a plane labeled “Life Vest Inside”, Orly founded (2011) Life Vest Inside, a non-profit organization with a mission to encourage people to embrace (拥抱) the incredible power of giving and recognize that in times of hardship, kindness, like a life vest, keeps the world afloat (漂浮). LVI shot to national attention when Orly’s short film Kindness Boomerang went viral, receiving more than 100 million views and coverage in media such as The TODAY Show, NBC, CBS, ADWEEK, International Business Times and more. In 2013 Orly was invited to speak at TED. The magic that Orly spreads is undeniable! Through LVI, kind happenings are becoming more frequent. And more people are experiencing the addictiveness in the giving of kindness. 24. How did the song “Heal the World” influence Orly? A. She wanted to become an entrepreneur. B. She decided to make a difference to the world. C. She managed to raise money for local charities. D. She started to work for a peace organization. 25. What inspired Orly to establish “Life Vest Inside”? A. A small sign on a plane. B. A non-profit organization. C. A life vest in a flight accident. D. A sudden recognition of hardship. 26. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. More people become addictive to magic. B. Orly achieves amazing success in film career. C. More people are inspired to show kindness to others. D. Orly receives international awards for her contribution. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了主人公Orly通过自己的行动创建了爱心组织，从而影响他人和整个世界。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a young child, listening repeatedly to the song, “Heal the World” by Michael Jackson, Orly knew that she wanted to leave her mark and she wanted more than anything to bring people together under the name of peace, respect, and love. (小时候，反复听迈克尔·杰克逊的《Heal the World》这首歌，Orly知道她想留下自己的印记，她最想要的是以和平、尊重和爱的名义把人们团结在一起。)”可知，Orly深受《Heal the World》这首歌的影响，让她知道自己决定改变世界。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Desiring to make a larger impact with her beneficent work and after having been inspired by a small sign on a plane labeled ‘Life Vest Inside’, Orly founded (2011) Life Vest Inside (Orly希望通过她的慈善工作产生更大的影响，并受到飞机上一个写着“Life Vest Inside”的小标志的启发，创办了Life Vest Inside(2011)。)”可知，飞机上的一个小标签启发她创建了该组织。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The magic that Orly spreads is undeniable! Through LVI, kind happenings are becoming more frequent. And more people are experiencing the addictiveness in the giving of kindness.(Orly传播的魔力是不可否认的！通过LVI，善意的事情变得越来越频繁。越来越多的人正在经历对给予善意的上瘾。)”可知，在Orly的鼓舞下，越来越多的人愿意向他人展示和表达善意。 C A new study has found human feelings can accurately be expressed numerically and have more predictive power for how we behave than formal studies of socioeconomic factors like household income and employment status. The study co-author Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science gathered information from nearly 700,000 people, who were asked annually over a three-decade period how they felt on a numerical scale about their job, spouse, health and home. Using the data collected, researchers constructed statistical models to show how people felt and the actions they took as a result of their reported feelings. The study found that ratings of life satisfaction had a direct linear (线性的) relationship to actions people subsequently take. Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing. Previous research has also shown data about feelings predict human outcomes, but not in such a linear fashion; the degree of satisfaction served as a good predictor of future actions. Additionally, economists have previously been critical of feelings data because they considered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shows socioeconomic factors have a lesser probability of predicting human behavior than data on feelings. Though the study shows numbers can quantify feelings, researchers are still a bit confused as to why estimates of seemingly subjective feelings can be such good predictors of future actions. According to Oswald, a number of factors could be at play. Humans are very experienced in comparative thinking and are able to scale their own life satisfaction against that of their neighbors. We’re also accustomed to using measuring devices for other aspects of life like temperature, distance and weight, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that we’re able to measure our feelings in a similarly accurate way. Another study co-author Caspar Kaiser says that it may also be because we communicate our feelings and do it in a scaled fashion every day. This could be why it comes out in the data more accurately than in objective markers. Ori Heffetz, an economics professor who was not involved in the study, says that this research shows feelings data shouldn’t be underestimated even if they’re more difficult to study. “Scientists who ignore this do so at their own risk,” he says. Looking ahead, Kaiser hopes this same data can be studied in lower-income countries so that it can be applied universally to places with varied levels of economic development. But more than anything else he’s interested in studying why feelings work so well. 27. Paragraph 2 is mainly about . A. research process and findings B. research topic and significance C. research subjects and purpose D. research data collection and analysis 28. What can we know about the study? A. It also applies to people from lower-income countries. B. It challenges the opinion that feelings data are unreliable. C. It explains why ratings of feelings can foresee future actions. D. It first shows data about feelings can predict human behavior 29. What is Ori’s attitude towards the study? A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Cautious. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. How You Rate Your Life Predicts Your Future Behavior B. Feelings Forecast Actions Better than Economic Factors C. Why Your Feelings Affect Your Future Actions D. Ranking Every Aspect of Your Life Counts 【答案】27. A 28. B 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现人们对生活的评价可以预测未来的行为。文章讲述了该项研究的过程及结论的得出。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study co-author Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science gathered information from nearly 700,000 people, who were asked annually over a three-decade period how they felt on a numerical scale about their job, spouse, health and home. Using the data collected, researchers constructed statistical models to show how people felt and the actions they took as a result of their reported feelings.

Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing.”（这项研究的合著者，经济学和行为科学教授安德鲁 · 奥斯瓦尔德(Andrew Oswald)收集了近70万人的信息。在过去的30年里，他们每年都会被问及对自己的工作、配偶、健康和家庭的感受。利用收集到的数据，研究人员构建了统计模型，以显示人们的感受以及他们因报告的感受而采取的行动。研究发现，生活满意度的等级与人们随后采取的行动有直接的线性关系。参与者将他们的工作满意度评为7分中的2分，他们辞职的可能性为25% 。那些得到6分(满分7分)的人只有10% 的可能性会放弃。在婚姻、健康和住房等其他指标上也是如此。）可知，本段主要讲述了实施研究的过程和研究结果。故选A。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Previous research has also shown data about feelings predict human outcomes, but not in such a linear fashion; the degree of satisfaction served as a good predictor of future actions. Additionally, economists have previously been critical of feelings data because they considered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shows socioeconomic factors have a lesser probability of predicting human behavior than data on feelings.”（先前的研究也表明，关于情感的数据可以预测人类的结果，但不是以这样的线性方式；满意度可以很好地预测未来的行动。此外，经济学家此前一直对情感数据持批评态度，因为他们认为这些数据不科学、不可靠。但是，这项研究表明，社会经济因素预测人类行为的可能性低于情感数据。）可知，之前的研究结果表明情感的数据可以预测人类的行为。但是，这项研究表明，社会经济因素预测人类行为的可能性低于情感数据。所以这个研究的结果证实了之前的研究的结论不可靠。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ori Heffetz, an economics professor who was not involved in the study, says that this research shows feelings data shouldn’t be underestimated even if they’re more difficult to study. “Scientists who ignore this do so at their own risk,” he says.”（没有参与这项研究的经济学教授 Ori Heffetz 说，这项研究表明，即使感觉数据更难研究，也不应该被低估。他说: “忽视这一点的科学家要承担自己的风险。”）可推知，经济学教授 Ori Heffetz认为， 即使感觉数据更难研究，也不应该被低估。所以对于这次研究他是赞同的。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第二段的研究发现“The study found that ratings of life satisfaction had a direct linear (线性的) relationship to actions people subsequently take. Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing.”（研究发现，生活满意度的等级与人们随后采取的行动有直接的线性关系。参与者将他们的工作满意度评为7分中的2分，他们辞职的可能性为25% 。那些得到6分(满分7分)的人只有10% 的可能性会放弃。在婚姻、健康和住房等其他指标上也是如此。）可知，本文主要讲述了一项新的研究成果：你对自己生活满意度的评价会影响你未来的行为。因此，A项“你对生活的评价可以预测你未来的行为”。故选A。 D People who think of themselves as tough-minded and realistic tend to take it for granted that human nature is selfish and that life is a struggle in which only the fittest may survive. According to this philosophy, the basic law by which people must live, is the law of the jungle. The “fittest” are those who can bring to the struggle superior force, superior cunning and superior ruthlessness. But we are entitled to ask whether the ruthlessness of the tiger, the cunning of the fox and the obedience to the law of the jungle are, in their human applications, actually evidence of human fitness to survive. If human beings are to pick up pointers on behavior from the lower animals, are there not animals other than beasts of prey from which we might learn lessons in survival? We might, for example, look to the rabbit or the deer and define fitness to survive as superior speed in running away from our enemies. We might point to the earthworm or the mole and attribute their fitness to survive to the ability to keep out of sight and out of the way. If we simply look to animals in order to define what we mean by “fitness to survive”, there is no limit to the subhuman systems of behavior that we can think up. We may emulate any animal because they have all obviously survived in one way or another. We are still entitled to ask, however, if human survival does not revolve around a different kind of fitness from that of the lower animals. Biologists distinguish between two kinds of struggle for survival. First, there is the interspecific struggle, warfare between different species of animals. Second, there is the intraspecific struggle, warfare among members of a single species. A great deal of evidence in modern biology indicates that those species that have developed elaborate means of intraspecific competition often make themselves unfit for interspecific competition, and that strength and fierceness in fighting and killing other animals, whether in interspecific or intraspecific competition, have never been enough in themselves to guarantee the survival of a species. If we are going to talk about human survival, one of the first things to do, even if we grant that people must fight to live, is to distinguish between those qualities that are useful in fighting the environment and other species and those qualities that are useful in fighting other people. There are also characteristics important to human survival that do not involve fighting. Cooperation is essential to the survival of most living creatures. And human beings are the talking animals. Any theory of human survival that leaves this fact out of account is no more scientific than would be a theory of beaver survival that failed to consider the interesting uses a beaver makes of its teeth and flat tail. Let us see what talking means. beaver 31. According to the passage, the “Survival of the Fittest” theory .

What does the underlined word “emulate” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Copy B. Protect. C. Trap. D. Admire. 33. According to the passage, the author is most likely to agree that . A. humans have no superior force over other species B. humans have survived because they are the fittest C. humans don’t have to learn from animals to survive D. humans need to fight each other for their own survival 34. What is most likely to be talked about next? A. Ways to make humans more competitive. B. Human’s cooperation via communication C. Differences between beavers and humans. D. The development of human survival skills. 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. C 34. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了”适者生存“理论在人类社会中与动物之间的区别。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“People who think of themselves as tough-minded and realistic tend to take it for granted that human nature is selfish and that life is a struggle in which only the fittest may survive. According to this philosophy, the basic law by which people must live, is the law of the jungle. The “fittest” are those who can bring to the struggle superior force, superior cunning and superior ruthlessness.”（那些认为自己意志坚强、现实的人往往理所当然地认为，人性是自私的，生活是一场只有适者才能生存的斗争。根据这种哲学，人们必须遵循的基本法则是丛林法则。“适者”是那些能够在斗争中带来优越的力量、优越的狡猾和优越的残忍的人。）可知，对于信奉“适者生存”理论的人而言，他们往往认为人性是自私的，生活是一场只有适者才能生存的斗争。可推知，这些人会把这个理论作为自己自私的借口。故选B。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的“If we simply look to animals in order to define what we mean by “fitness to survive”, there is no limit to the subhuman systems of behavior that we can think up. ”（如果我们只是看动物来定义我们所说的“适者生存”，那么我们可以想出的非人类的行为系统是没有限制的。）可知，我们不应只是看动物来定义“适者生存”。划线词后内容“because they have all obviously survived in one way or another. ”（因为它们显然都以这样或那样的方式幸存了下来。）可知，动物们以自己的方式生存下来证实了适者生存的道理，所以我们应该不仅只是看动物来定义“适者生存”，而且要模仿它们，让自己生存下来。由此可知，划线词所在句指“我们会模仿动物来让自己生存下来”，所以划线词的含义为“模仿”，故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“We are still entitled to ask, however, if human survival does not revolve around a different kind of fitness from that of the lower animals.”（然而，我们仍然有权问，人类的生存是否围绕着一种不同于低等动物的适应性。）和倒数第二段“If we are going to talk about human survival, one of the first things to do, even if we grant that people must fight to live, is to distinguish between those qualities that are useful in fighting the environment and other species and those qualities that are useful in fighting other people. There are also characteristics important to human survival that do not involve fighting.”（如果我们要谈论人类的生存，首先要做的事情之一，即使我们承认人类必须为生存而战，就是区分那些有助于对抗环境和其他物种的品质，和那些有助于对抗其他人的品质。还有一些对人类生存非常重要的特征不涉及战斗。）和最后一段前两句“Cooperation is essential to the survival of most living creatures. And human beings are the talking animals. ”（合作对于大多数生物的生存是必不可少的，而人类是会说话的动物。）可知，作者认为，人类的生存不同于其他物种之间的生存的适应性，因为人类能区分那些有助于对抗环境和其他物种的品质，和那些有助于对抗其他人的品质。还有一些对人类生存非常重要的特征并不涉及战斗，此外人类是会说话的动物。即人类不必向动物学习才能生存，故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cooperation is essential to the survival of most living creatures. And human beings are the talking animals. Any theory of human survival that leaves this fact out of account is no more scientific than would be a theory of beaver survival that failed to consider the interesting uses a beaver makes of its teeth and flat tail. Let us see what talking means.”（合作对大多数生物的生存至关重要。人类是会说话的动物。任何不考虑这一事实的人类生存理论都不会比海狸生存理论更科学，因为后者没有考虑到海狸利用牙齿和扁尾巴的有趣用途。让我们看看说话是什么意思。）可知，本段结尾提到了人类会通过沟通获得合作，因此接下来可能谈论的是人们如何通过沟通来实现合作。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Exam Anxiety Has this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ____35____  Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of enough preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. ____36____ You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised. ____37____ Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard. So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? ____38____ Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ____39____ You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating (分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better. A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared. B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways. C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone! D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams. E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate. F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work. G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence. 【答案】35. C 36. F 37. B 38. A 39. G 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了什么是“考试焦虑”，它的消极影响及如何对抗这种负面的情绪。 【35题详解】 前文“You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe.(你一直在为期中考试努力学习，但当你走进考场时，你的大脑一片空白，心跳加速，手心出汗，呼吸困。)”表明考试时会紧张和焦虑的现象，C选项“如果这些典型的考试焦虑症状听起来很熟悉，你并不孤单”表明这种焦虑的现象是普遍的，句子中的these classic signs与前文的your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe呼应。故选C。 【36题详解】 前文“This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance.(这很正常，通常会帮助你更努力地工作，更快地思考，提高你的表现。)”表明考试焦虑的益处，后文“You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you.(你也可能会觉得别人比你考得好。)”为一种负面的影响，F选项“然而，如果你对结果过于焦虑，你可能无法专注于你的工作”与前文进行转折，表示过度焦虑的坏影响，符合下文语境。故选F。 【37题详解】 后文“Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety.(一些人选择忽略这个问题，而另一些人不复习，因为他们认为他们无论如何都会做得很差，甚至因为焦虑而错过考试。)”表示不同的人如何消极地应对考试焦虑，B选项“人们经常用许多无益的方式来应对考试压力”引出下文无益的几种方式。故选B。 【38题详解】 前文“So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test?(那么，你能做些什么来对抗消极的心态，并在考试前和考试中保持冷静呢？)”提问应如何减少考试焦虑，保持冷静，再结合下文“If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test.(如果你觉得自己已经准备充分，那么在考试时你会更自信。)”可知，第一点应该是做好准备，A选项“你要做的第一件事就是做好准备”符合主旨。故选A。 【39题详解】 前文“The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety.(第二个技巧很简单：只要开始就行。空白的纸能让你的焦虑最大化。)”说明第二个方法是直接答卷，G选项“拿到试卷后，你可以通过做一些问题来建立你的信心”表明在做题的过程中逐渐增加自信，符合前文语境。故选G。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 The Power of Determination Your quest for success and happiness begins with right intentions. It culminates (达到顶点) when you reach your chosen goals. What sustains your effort in between is your determination. What carries you towards your goals is your determination. It means the firmness of purpose or intention. If there is one gift that you can give to yourself in your life to be what you want to be, it is the power of determination. Without it you are a mere passive spectator in the drama of your life. If there is one quality that makes a difference between a winner and a loser or a leader and a follower, it is the power of determination. Without it, you may dream wild dreams, but you will not accomplish much in life. If you have determination, nothing can stop you and deter you from following your course of action to achieve your goals or realize your dreams. Obstacles may arise and obstruct your progress. They may delay your success, disturb you temporarily, and may even mislead you, but they cannot withstand the power of determination. It is the power that you generate within yourself to remain committed to your path and conviction, and march towards your cherished goals. Before you take up any project or goal, you should know whether you have the determination to stick to your plans and reach your goals. Your determination has to arise from within and derive its reinforcement from your thinking and beliefs rather than circumstances. Only then will you be able to sustain your effort, even when the going gets tough. Determination is your inner strength. Like the hardwood inside a tree, it gives you the power to stand tall and face the winds of turmoil. With determination, you can crush the mountains of fear and doubts in you. You can find your way through the most difficult situations. Determination does not mean you will be insensitive to the reality of the situation. A determined person is also an adaptable and flexible person. He is not interested in being tough for toughness sake, but to overcome obstacles and reach his goals. Hence, he remains open-minded about possibilities and opportunities, but firm in his commitment and convictions. Discipline and determination go together. If you have them, you become unstoppable. 40. According to the passage, what is determination? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What would happen if one does not have determination? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. With determination, you can crush the mountains of fear and doubts in you, and you will not make changes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. How does being determined benefit you? （In about 40 words） ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Determination means the firmness of purpose or intention. 41. Without determination one might be a mere passive spectator in the drama of their life.或Without determination, one may dream wild dreams, but they will not accomplish much in life. 42. With determination, you can crush the mountains of fear and doubts in you, and you will not make changes. According to the passage, determination does not mean you will be insensitive to the reality of the situation. A determined person is also an adaptable and flexible person. 43. I can benefit a lot from being determined. It is determination that drives me to keep being hardworking, going to the best university after overcoming all the possible difficulties, and it is determination that makes my life meaningful, fruitful, and unforgettable. (答案不唯一) 【解析】 【导语】文章阐释了决心的定义、重要作用，介绍其内在力量与特性，说明决心助人突破困境、成就自我。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“It means the firmness of purpose or intention.(它意味着目标或意图的坚定)”可知，决心是目标与意图的坚定。 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Without it you are a mere passive spectator in the drama of your life. (没有它，你只是人生舞台上一个被动的旁观者。)”以及“Without it, you may dream wild dreams, but you will not accomplish much in life.(没有它，你或许会心怀空想，但人生难有建树)”可知，没有决心的人只会空想，无法有所成就，只能被动面对人生。 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Determination does not mean you will be insensitive to the reality of the situation. A determined person is also an adaptable and flexible person.(决心并不意味着你会对现实情况麻木。拥有决心的人也是一个懂得适应、灵活变通的人。)”可知，拥有决心的人懂得灵活变通、适时做出改变，并非一成不变，因此错误部分为and you will not make changes。 【43题详解】 开放性题目。本题答案不唯一，结合文章内容，答案符合逻辑即可，注意字数。例如，可回答：决心给了我克服恐惧和疑虑的内在力量。它帮助我渡过难关，坚持我的目标，不断进步，实现我的梦想。即：Determination gives me inner strength to overcome fear and doubts. It helps me get through tough situations, stick to my goals and constantly make progress to realize my dreams. 第二节（20分） 44. 假定你是红星中学高二学生李华，Teens杂志国际版开设“未来职业对话”专栏，邀请各国高中生分享对AI时代职业规划的见解。请你给该专栏编辑写一封英文书信，内容包括： 1.AI对工作岗位的影响； 2.高中生该如何应对变化。 注意：1.词数100左右 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Editor, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Editor, Having learned that your column “Future Career Dialogue” is collecting young people’s views on career planning in the AI era, I am writing to share my thoughts.

B Orly Wahba is an educator, speaker, entrepreneur (企业家), author and community activist passionate about inspiring and motivating people to be the best that they can be. As a young child, listening repeatedly to the song, “Heal the World” by Michael Jackson, Orly knew that she wanted to leave her mark and she wanted more than anything to bring people together under the name of peace, respect, and love. Since her teenage years, Orly has worked extensively with tweens and teens as well as local charities in her community providing a helping hand for those who need it most. Orly began her career in kindness as a middle school educator at the Yeshivah of Flatbush in Brooklyn, NY, teaching the children to use the power they have to influence the world for good. With 8,000 cards, she started a wave of pay-it-forward kindness. Each card contained an act of kindness that once completed, would be passed onto another person. Her project succeeded, enhancing the lives of her students and raising their sense of self-worth as they saw their direct hand in causing a ripple (涟漪) effect. Even now, people may encounter Orly giving out her famed Acts of Kindness Cards on the subway. Desiring to make a larger impact with her beneficent work and after having been inspired by a small sign on a plane labeled “Life Vest Inside”, Orly founded (2011) Life Vest Inside, a non-profit organization with a mission to encourage people to embrace (拥抱) the incredible power of giving and recognize that in times of hardship, kindness, like a life vest, keeps the world afloat (漂浮). LVI shot to national attention when Orly’s short film Kindness Boomerang went viral, receiving more than 100 million views and coverage in media such as The TODAY Show, NBC, CBS, ADWEEK, International Business Times and more. In 2013 Orly was invited to speak at TED. The magic that Orly spreads is undeniable! Through LVI, kind happenings are becoming more frequent. And more people are experiencing the addictiveness in the giving of kindness. 24. How did the song “Heal the World” influence Orly? A. She wanted to become an entrepreneur. B.

What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. More people become addictive to magic. B. Orly achieves amazing success in film career. C. More people are inspired to show kindness to others. D. Orly receives international awards for her contribution. C A new study has found human feelings can accurately be expressed numerically and have more predictive power for how we behave than formal studies of socioeconomic factors like household income and employment status. The study co-author Andrew Oswald, a professor of economics and behavioral science gathered information from nearly 700,000 people, who were asked annually over a three-decade period how they felt on a numerical scale about their job, spouse, health and home. Using the data collected, researchers constructed statistical models to show how people felt and the actions they took as a result of their reported feelings. The study found that ratings of life satisfaction had a direct linear (线性的) relationship to actions people subsequently take. Participants who rated their job satisfaction as a 2 out of 7 had a 25% probability of quitting their job. Those who rated a 6 out of 7 had only a 10 percent probability of quitting. The same was true across other measures like marriage, health and housing. Previous research has also shown data about feelings predict human outcomes, but not in such a linear fashion; the degree of satisfaction served as a good predictor of future actions. Additionally, economists have previously been critical of feelings data because they considered them unscientific and unreliable. But this study shows socioeconomic factors have a lesser probability of predicting human behavior than data on feelings. Though the study shows numbers can quantify feelings, researchers are still a bit confused as to why estimates of seemingly subjective feelings can be such good predictors of future actions. According to Oswald, a number of factors could be at play. Humans are very experienced in comparative thinking and are able to scale their own life satisfaction against that of their neighbors. We’re also accustomed to using measuring devices for other aspects of life like temperature, distance and weight, so it shouldn’t be too surprising that we’re able to measure our feelings in a similarly accurate way. Another study co-author Caspar Kaiser says that it may also be because we communicate our feelings and do it in a scaled fashion every day. This could be why it comes out in the data more accurately than in objective markers. Ori Heffetz, an economics professor who was not involved in the study, says that this research shows feelings data shouldn’t be underestimated even if they’re more difficult to study. “Scientists who ignore this do so at their own risk,” he says. Looking ahead, Kaiser hopes this same data can be studied in lower-income countries so that it can be applied universally to places with varied levels of economic development. But more than anything else he’s interested in studying why feelings work so well. 27. Paragraph 2 is mainly about . A. research process and findings B. research topic and significance C. research subjects and purpose D. research data collection and analysis 28. What can we know about the study? A. It also applies to people from lower-income countries. B. It challenges the opinion that feelings data are unreliable. C. It explains why ratings of feelings can foresee future actions. D. It first shows data about feelings can predict human behavior 29. What is Ori’s attitude towards the study? A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Cautious. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. How You Rate Your Life Predicts Your Future Behavior B. Feelings Forecast Actions Better than Economic Factors C. Why Your Feelings Affect Your Future Actions D. Ranking Every Aspect of Your Life Counts D People who think of themselves as tough-minded and realistic tend to take it for granted that human nature is selfish and that life is a struggle in which only the fittest may survive. According to this philosophy, the basic law by which people must live, is the law of the jungle. The “fittest” are those who can bring to the struggle superior force, superior cunning and superior ruthlessness. But we are entitled to ask whether the ruthlessness of the tiger, the cunning of the fox and the obedience to the law of the jungle are, in their human applications, actually evidence of human fitness to survive. If human beings are to pick up pointers on behavior from the lower animals, are there not animals other than beasts of prey from which we might learn lessons in survival? We might, for example, look to the rabbit or the deer and define fitness to survive as superior speed in running away from our enemies. We might point to the earthworm or the mole and attribute their fitness to survive to the ability to keep out of sight and out of the way. If we simply look to animals in order to define what we mean by “fitness to survive”, there is no limit to the subhuman systems of behavior that we can think up. We may emulate any animal because they have all obviously survived in one way or another. We are still entitled to ask, however, if human survival does not revolve around a different kind of fitness from that of the lower animals. Biologists distinguish between two kinds of struggle for survival. First, there is the interspecific struggle, warfare between different species of animals. Second, there is the intraspecific struggle, warfare among members of a single species. A great deal of evidence in modern biology indicates that those species that have developed elaborate means of intraspecific competition often make themselves unfit for interspecific competition, and that strength and fierceness in fighting and killing other animals, whether in interspecific or intraspecific competition, have never been enough in themselves to guarantee the survival of a species. If we are going to talk about human survival, one of the first things to do, even if we grant that people must fight to live, is to distinguish between those qualities that are useful in fighting the environment and other species and those qualities that are useful in fighting other people. There are also characteristics important to human survival that do not involve fighting. Cooperation is essential to the survival of most living creatures. And human beings are the talking animals. Any theory of human survival that leaves this fact out of account is no more scientific than would be a theory of beaver survival that failed to consider the interesting uses a beaver makes of its teeth and flat tail. Let us see what talking means. beaver 31. According to the passage, the “Survival of the Fittest” theory .

You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ____35____  Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of enough preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. ____36____ You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised. ____37____ Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard. So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test? ____38____ Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ____39____ You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating (分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better. A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared. B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways. C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone! D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams. E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate. F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work. G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 The Power of Determination Your quest for success and happiness begins with right intentions. It culminates (达到顶点) when you reach your chosen goals. What sustains your effort in between is your determination. What carries you towards your goals is your determination. It means the firmness of purpose or intention. If there is one gift that you can give to yourself in your life to be what you want to be, it is the power of determination. Without it you are a mere passive spectator in the drama of your life. If there is one quality that makes a difference between a winner and a loser or a leader and a follower, it is the power of determination. Without it, you may dream wild dreams, but you will not accomplish much in life. If you have determination, nothing can stop you and deter you from following your course of action to achieve your goals or realize your dreams. Obstacles may arise and obstruct your progress. They may delay your success, disturb you temporarily, and may even mislead you, but they cannot withstand the power of determination. It is the power that you generate within yourself to remain committed to your path and conviction, and march towards your cherished goals. Before you take up any project or goal, you should know whether you have the determination to stick to your plans and reach your goals. Your determination has to arise from within and derive its reinforcement from your thinking and beliefs rather than circumstances. Only then will you be able to sustain your effort, even when the going gets tough. Determination is your inner strength. Like the hardwood inside a tree, it gives you the power to stand tall and face the winds of turmoil. With determination, you can crush the mountains of fear and doubts in you. You can find your way through the most difficult situations. Determination does not mean you will be insensitive to the reality of the situation. A determined person is also an adaptable and flexible person. He is not interested in being tough for toughness sake, but to overcome obstacles and reach his goals. Hence, he remains open-minded about possibilities and opportunities, but firm in his commitment and convictions. Discipline and determination go together. If you have them, you become unstoppable. 40. According to the passage, what is determination? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41.
