【导语】本文讲述了Richard Edmonson从70岁因厌倦泳池而开始跑步,后来在遭遇妻子去世和儿子患病的变故后,将跑步作为疗愈方式,并在跑步社群中获得陪伴与活力的故事。
【26题详解】
句意:到他70岁时,他已经厌倦了看泳池底部。
“grown tired of”是固定搭配,意为“对……感到厌倦”。根据前文“The problem was the view”可知,他对泳池的景色感到厌烦。scared害怕的、fond喜欢的、incapable无能力的,均不符合语境。
【27题详解】
句意:于是,他开始跑步。
“took up”意为“开始从事”,符合语境中他从游泳转向跑步的行为。kept on继续、dreamed of梦想、learned from从……学习,均不符合此处语境。
【28题详解】
句意:起初,Edmonson在他家附近跑步,从一次跑几个街区开始。
根据后文“working his way up from a few blocks at a time”可知,他是从在家附近跑步开始的,neighbourhood符合语境。house房子、school学校、firm公司,均不符合。
【29题详解】
句意:在儿子的鼓励下,Edmonson在2008年参加了一场公路长跑比赛。
根据后文“have finished third in his age group”可知,他参加了比赛并获奖,“entered a race”是固定搭配,意为“参加比赛”。watched观看、planned计划、considered考虑,均不符合此处语境。
【30题详解】
句意:他对自己在所在年龄组获得第三名感到惊讶,这激励他继续跑步。
结合语境,他刚开始跑步就取得了名次,应是感到惊讶的。relieved宽慰的、pressured有压力的、embarrassed尴尬的,均不符合语境。
【31题详解】
句意:2014年,他的妻子去世,一年后,Richie也患上疾病。
根据上下文逻辑,妻子“passed away”,后文提到“Richie recovered”,说明Richie当时患病了。“suffered from a disease”意为“遭受/患有疾病”,更符合此处的时间线与语境。recovered康复、died去世、escaped逃脱,均不符合逻辑。
【32题详解】
句意:他相信跑步帮助他熬过了失去亲人的痛苦。
“survive his loss”意为“熬过/挺过失去亲人的痛苦”,符合语境中跑步作为疗愈方式的作用。cover覆盖、forget忘记、cure治愈,均不符合此处语境。
【33题详解】
句意:“它给了我可能是关于生活最好的忠告:只管跑你正在跑的路。”
根据后文“Just run the mile you’re in”可知,这是他从跑步中得到的关于生活的忠告。news消息、opportunity机会、decision决定,均不符合语境。
【34题详解】
句意:Edmonson是他所在的三个跑步小组中年龄最大的,但他远没有拖慢任何人的后腿。
but表转折,“slowing anyone down”是固定搭配,意为“拖慢某人的后腿”,符合语境中他虽然年龄大但并不落后的状态。calming使平静、turning转向、putting放置,均不符合。
【35题详解】
句意:但真正吸引他的是友谊而非竞争。
根据后文“I’ve enjoyed the company of young people”可知,他享受的是和年轻人的陪伴,也就是友谊。hardship困难、movement运动、achievement成就,均不符合语境。

Passage B
Sammie Vance knows it feels bad to be left out. So she has been helping kids who feel lonely make friends.
Sammie is 14. When she was in the third grade, she started the Buddy Bench program. That was at her school, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the “buddy bench”. It showed others that someone needed a friend.
The bench brought kids together. “There was one little boy at school, younger than me,” Sammie told TIME for Kids. “He would see me in the hallway and give me a thumbs-up. That told me that what I was doing helped him.”
It costs money to build benches. Sammie decided to make them out of recycled materials. This lowered the cost. And the benches were eco-friendly.
Sammie gathered friends in her community. They collected 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called Green Tree Plastics made three benches with the bottle caps.
Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. And she is spreading kindness around the world. “We recently got a bench in Ghana, Africa,” she says. “That was cool.”
Sammie reminds us that kids can help their community. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference,” she says.
Sammie wrote a book. It tells the story of her buddy benches. Sammie hopes her example will inspire others. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. Building buddy benches gave her confidence. “I’m definitely more outgoing now.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了14岁的Sammie Vance在三年级时发起“Buddy Bench”项目,帮助感到孤独的孩子交朋友。Sammie认为孩子也可以改变世界,即使小小的善举也能产生巨大的力量。
【39题详解】
第一段提到Sammie帮助感到孤独的孩子交朋友,第二段提到她发起“Buddy Bench”项目,所以选项C“She starts a program to help them make friends.”正确。
【40题详解】

【41题详解】
倒数第二段提到“Sammie reminds us that kids can help their community.”,她提醒孩子们要帮助社区。
【42题详解】
文章讲述了Sammie通过“Buddy Bench”项目帮助他人、传播善意,并写了一本书分享自己的故事,所以书名最可能是关于“一个孩子改变世界”的主题,选项D“Inspire the World: A Kid’s Journey to Make a Difference.”最合适。
Passage C
Everyone wants to be attractive to others. To that end, having a good personality is quite important—probably even more so than good looks. In fact, most of your success and happiness will be a result of how well you interact (互动) with others. Therefore, it is your personality that leads to whether people are attracted to, or shy away from you.
While we can only change our looks to a certain degree, we can improve our personality as much as we want. We can develop or integrate (整合) any characteristic we think fitting and agreeable into our personalities.
One way is to listen to others attentively. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was considered one of the most charming women in the world because she formed the skill of being an excellent listener. She was known for the way she would look a person in the eyes, hang on their every word, and make them feel important. There is nothing more attractive than having someone listen to you attentively, making you feel like you’re the only person in the world.
Having an opinion is also important. There is nothing more boring than trying to talk to someone who has no opinion on anything. A conversation has nowhere to go if you have nothing to focus on. If, however, you have an uncommon point of view or a different opinion, you are more interesting to be with socially.
What’s more, have a positive attitude. Who wants to be around people who are negative, complain a lot, or have nothing good to say? Everyone enjoys the company of someone who makes them laugh or smile, so look for the humorous and lucky side in a situation—there always is one. When you can add fun and lightheartedness to a dull or grey setting, others will naturally be attracted to you.
Last but not least, treat people with respect. Being honest and true to your word will bring you the admiration, respect and gratitude of others. Nothing improves a person’s personality more than honesty and respect, respect for others, as well as respect for oneself.
We humans, have the power and ability to shape our personalities however we wish. When we develop ourselves to be all that we can be, we bring happiness to ourselves as well as to others.
43. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Being honest will make people laugh or smile.
B. People can change their looks as much as they want.
C. Having a different point of view will end a conversation.
D. Good interaction with others can lead to success and happiness.
44. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to show that ________ .
A. she was the most charming woman in the world
B. being a good listener helps people to be attractive
C. people should look others in the eyes while listening
D. she was known for teaching others to have a good personality
45. The word “dull” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. bright B. boring C. dirty D. perfect
46. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to shape a good personality. B. Benefits of having a positive attitude.
C. The comparison of looks and personalities. D. The effects of developing a certain characteristic.
【答案】43. D 44. B 45. B 46. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了良好的性格对个人吸引力的重要性,指出性格的影响甚至超过外貌,并介绍了塑造良好性格的具体方法,包括认真倾听、拥有独立观点、保持积极态度、待人真诚尊重等,强调人们可以主动塑造性格,为自己和他人带来幸福。
【43题详解】
第一段中“In fact, most of your success and happiness will be a result of how well you interact with others.”(事实上,你大部分的成功和幸福将取决于你与他人互动的程度。)可知,与他人的良好互动可以带来成功和幸福。
【44题详解】
第三段“One way is to listen to others attentively.”(一种方法是专心倾听他人。)以及随后提到Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis是因为她形成了成为一名优秀倾听者的技能才被认为是最迷人的女性之一。由此可知,提及她是为了表明做一个好的倾听者有助于人们变得有吸引力。
【45题详解】
第五段“When you can add fun and lightheartedness to a dull or grey setting...”,此处dull与fun(乐趣)形成对比,且与grey(灰暗/沉闷)并列,可推测其意为“枯燥的、无聊的”,与boring同义。
【46题详解】
文章第一段引出个性的重要性,第二至六段分别介绍了塑造良好个性的具体方法(如倾听、表达观点、保持积极态度、尊重他人),最后一段总结人类有能力塑造个性。因此,文章主要关于塑造良好个性的方法。
Passage D
If I had a cold, I wouldn’t think twice about telling my friends or my doctor. For some reason, however, if I had a mental (心理的) problem, I might not treat it in the same way.
At my elementary school, mental health was not discussed even once as far as I can remember. This makes me wonder how many other schools are failing to educate their students on this topic. It makes me sad that children growing up with mental illness may feel like it is something to be ashamed of (对……感到羞耻的) because it is never discussed. When I reached high school, mental health was still seldom discussed. But when it was in the topic of health or biology class, I was given a broad idea that mental illness was a “thing” that really lies.
In my opinion, overstressed high school students could benefit (获益) greatly from more deep discussions about how to deal with mental health problems, such as how to know when you should care about yourself or a friend, or who to reach out for help. I know my friends and I could have benefited. Even if you personally have never faced mental health problems, someone you know is sure to have, and you can offer timely help.
I also believe we need to normalize (使……正常化) discussions about mental health at an early age, rather than hiding them from sight. At school, I saw a student’s report on mental health education and how it can be carried out in the American school system. The student used the film Iniside Out to explain feelings to younger kids. This report made me believe that it is possible to start these discussions at a young age if we try.
Although we can’t change the way people think about mental health over one night, there are still things we can do. Asking our friends how they’re feeling is a good start.
47. How does the writer introduce his topic in Paragraph 1?
A. By showing facts. B. By giving numbers.
C. By making comparison. D. By sharing a story.
48. What does the writer learn from the student’s report?
A. Kids who are healthy outside might be ill inside.
B. Mental health discussions can be held with young kids.
C. The American school system is open to mental health education.
D. Watching educational films can help children with mental illness.
49. Which of the following shows the structure of the article?
A. ①②③/④/⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①/②③④⑤ D. ①/②/③④/⑤
50. What is the best title for the text?
A. Mental health matters! B. Is it okay if it’s not good?
C. The earlier, the better! D. How to pay attention to mental health?
【答案】47. C 48. B 49. D 50. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述心理健康问题普遍不被讨论的现象,讨论了心理健康的重要性及其教育问题。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据“If I had a cold, I wouldn’t think twice about telling my friends or my doctor. For some reason, however, if I had a mental (心理的) problem, I might not treat it in the same way.”可知如果得了感冒,会不假思索地告诉朋友或医生,但是如果有了心理问题,却不一定会这样做。作者以对比的方式,引出心理健康问题不被讨论的话题,故选C。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据“This report made me believe that it is possible to start these discussions at a young age if we try.”可知作者从报告中了解到,心理健康讨论可以在小学生中进行,故选B。
【49题详解】
篇章结构题。通读全文可知,作者在第一段提出心理健康问题不被说出来的普遍现象;第二段讲述小学把心理问题羞于谈论的现象;第三段和第四段介绍了作者关于尽早开始谈论心理健康问题的建议;最后一段总结作者的观点:无法在一夜之间改变别人看待心理健康的方式,但我们仍有所为。故选D。
【50题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论心理健康的重要性及其教育问题,标题A应能概括文章主旨。故选A。
Passage E

Section 4 Writing (20’)
Part 1 Read and answer the following questions. (10’)
This was my grandmother’s first birthday without grandfather, and before he passed away, we had promised him that we would make it her best birthday ever. Grandfather had always said that she expected her birthday party every day since it was also a time for family reunion (团聚).
When my mom, dad, three sisters and I arrived at her little house, we found she had waited up all night for our arrival. Once arriving, we immediately set to prepare for the birthday celebration. We ordered a large three-tier birthday cake and decorated the house with colorful belts and balloons. When everything was ready, I noticed something was missing.
“Where’s your scarf?” I asked.
That scarf, faded (褪色的) and even older than my mom, was a necessary part of the yearly celebration. Grandfather gave it to grandmother forty years ago on their first date. But now, on her first birthday without him, the scarf was gone, too.
“It must be here somewhere,” she said. “Your grandfather always packed everything so carefully.”
Then we started to search every corner for the missing scarf. As we emptied box after box and found no scarf, my grandmother’s eyes were filled with tears. However, seeing our worried looks, she soon hid her disappointment.
“Check it out! This may be a gift from Grandpa!” My sister shouted as she found a well-wrapped box.
Grandmother shakily opened the box. With great joy, she pulled out a brand-new red scarf with a note. Her voice trembled (颤抖) as she read it aloud:
“Dear, I noticed some tiny holes in your scarf when I washed it. So I thought it was time for a new one. I hope it can bring you as much joy as the first one did. Happy birthday! —Love, Bryant.”
Finally, grandmother blew out the candles in her new scarf, as if grandfather were still with her. It also brought my grandfather home in each of our hearts and made the party our best birthday celebration ever.

Passage B
Sammie Vance knows it feels bad to be left out. So she has been helping kids who feel lonely make friends.
Sammie is 14. When she was in the third grade, she started the Buddy Bench program. That was at her school, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Anyone who felt lonely could sit on the “buddy bench”. It showed others that someone needed a friend.
The bench brought kids together. “There was one little boy at school, younger than me,” Sammie told TIME for Kids. “He would see me in the hallway and give me a thumbs-up. That told me that what I was doing helped him.”
It costs money to build benches. Sammie decided to make them out of recycled materials. This lowered the cost. And the benches were eco-friendly.
Sammie gathered friends in her community. They collected 1,200 pounds of bottle caps. A company called Green Tree Plastics made three benches with the bottle caps.
Sammie has helped communities all over the country set up buddy benches. And she is spreading kindness around the world. “We recently got a bench in Ghana, Africa,” she says. “That was cool.”
Sammie reminds us that kids can help their community. Even small acts of kindness can be powerful. “You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference,” she says.
Sammie wrote a book. It tells the story of her buddy benches. Sammie hopes her example will inspire others. “I used to be really, really shy,” she says. Building buddy benches gave her confidence. “I’m definitely more outgoing now.”

C. The Power of Friendship: Stories from the Buddy Bench.
D. Inspire the World: A Kid’s Journey to Make a Difference.
Passage C
Everyone wants to be attractive to others. To that end, having a good personality is quite important—probably even more so than good looks. In fact, most of your success and happiness will be a result of how well you interact (互动) with others. Therefore, it is your personality that leads to whether people are attracted to, or shy away from you.
While we can only change our looks to a certain degree, we can improve our personality as much as we want. We can develop or integrate (整合) any characteristic we think fitting and agreeable into our personalities.
One way is to listen to others attentively. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was considered one of the most charming women in the world because she formed the skill of being an excellent listener. She was known for the way she would look a person in the eyes, hang on their every word, and make them feel important. There is nothing more attractive than having someone listen to you attentively, making you feel like you’re the only person in the world.
Having an opinion is also important. There is nothing more boring than trying to talk to someone who has no opinion on anything. A conversation has nowhere to go if you have nothing to focus on. If, however, you have an uncommon point of view or a different opinion, you are more interesting to be with socially.
What’s more, have a positive attitude. Who wants to be around people who are negative, complain a lot, or have nothing good to say? Everyone enjoys the company of someone who makes them laugh or smile, so look for the humorous and lucky side in a situation—there always is one. When you can add fun and lightheartedness to a dull or grey setting, others will naturally be attracted to you.
Last but not least, treat people with respect. Being honest and true to your word will bring you the admiration, respect and gratitude of others. Nothing improves a person’s personality more than honesty and respect, respect for others, as well as respect for oneself.
We humans, have the power and ability to shape our personalities however we wish. When we develop ourselves to be all that we can be, we bring happiness to ourselves as well as to others.
43. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Being honest will make people laugh or smile.
B. People can change their looks as much as they want.
C. Having a different point of view will end a conversation.
D. Good interaction with others can lead to success and happiness.
44. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to show that ________ .
A. she was the most charming woman in the world
B. being a good listener helps people to be attractive
C. people should look others in the eyes while listening
D. she was known for teaching others to have a good personality
45. The word “dull” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________ .
A. bright B. boring C. dirty D. perfect
46. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to shape a good personality. B. Benefits of having a positive attitude.
C. The comparison of looks and personalities. D. The effects of developing a certain characteristic.
Passage D
If I had a cold, I wouldn’t think twice about telling my friends or my doctor. For some reason, however, if I had a mental (心理的) problem, I might not treat it in the same way.
At my elementary school, mental health was not discussed even once as far as I can remember. This makes me wonder how many other schools are failing to educate their students on this topic. It makes me sad that children growing up with mental illness may feel like it is something to be ashamed of (对……感到羞耻的) because it is never discussed. When I reached high school, mental health was still seldom discussed. But when it was in the topic of health or biology class, I was given a broad idea that mental illness was a “thing” that really lies.
In my opinion, overstressed high school students could benefit (获益) greatly from more deep discussions about how to deal with mental health problems, such as how to know when you should care about yourself or a friend, or who to reach out for help. I know my friends and I could have benefited. Even if you personally have never faced mental health problems, someone you know is sure to have, and you can offer timely help.
I also believe we need to normalize (使……正常化) discussions about mental health at an early age, rather than hiding them from sight. At school, I saw a student’s report on mental health education and how it can be carried out in the American school system. The student used the film Iniside Out to explain feelings to younger kids. This report made me believe that it is possible to start these discussions at a young age if we try.
Although we can’t change the way people think about mental health over one night, there are still things we can do. Asking our friends how they’re feeling is a good start.
47. How does the writer introduce his topic in Paragraph 1?
A. By showing facts. B. By giving numbers.
C. By making comparison. D. By sharing a story.
48. What does the writer learn from the student’s report?
A. Kids who are healthy outside might be ill inside.
B. Mental health discussions can be held with young kids.
C. The American school system is open to mental health education.
D. Watching educational films can help children with mental illness.
49. Which of the following shows the structure of the article?
A. ①②③/④/⑤ B. ①/②③④/⑤ C. ①/②③④⑤ D. ①/②/③④/⑤
50. What is the best title for the text?
A. Mental health matters! B. Is it okay if it’s not good?
C. The earlier, the better! D. How to pay attention to mental health?
Passage E
If you only read novels or magazines, the reading speed may not be so important to you. But if you have to read a lot for study, you will look forward to having the ability of reading more quickly. ____51____
Before you open the book, make sure that you are comfortable. You need a seat which supports your back and the book should be at the right distance from your eyes. ____52____
Spend a few minutes looking through the book. Look at the table of contents, the preface (前言), the title of each chapter and so on. This will help you to decide whether you really need to read the whole book or only certain parts of it. ____53____
If you need to read the whole book, decide how much you can read at a time. ____54____ A history book which includes stories will be easier to read than one about scientific subjects. In the first one, you may be able to read a chapter. In the second one, you may only be able to read one page.
____55____ Make a note of any page which is of special importance. Write down the information which is important for your purpose as well as anything which leads you to further research. You don’t have to write these things in detail. It is enough to put the page number and one or two words as a reminder.
A. Take notes as much as you can if possible.
B. Always keep a pencil and some paper beside you.
C. This depends on the type of book you are reading.
D. Here are some tips to help improve your reading speed.
E. Close eyes and have a rest from time to time if you get tired.
