阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Students will face the pre exam anxiety in the exam season. But in a growing tradition, universities and students’ unions are making increasingly great efforts to try to deal with stress.
Screaming: This is a tradition for students in the United States. Harvard, Northwestern and Columbia all have lessons of stress bursting screaming. At Northwestern in Illinois, students scream on the Sunday evening before finals week. At Wisconsin, the university headmaster took part in the screaming and social media even invited people to join in.
Puppies (幼犬): Partnering with a local guide dog charity in the UK, the University of Central Lancashire has a “puppy room” for stressed students. Students made a reservation in advance and were given 10 minutes to 15 minutes to play with the dogs, in exchange for a £1.50 minimum donation to the charity. “We are delighted to raise awareness of the Guide Dogs charity as well as to help students through a stressful period.” said a students’ union representative.
Sleep contest: Even sleeping has to be competitive in South Korea. At Duksung Women’s University in Seoul, students are dealing with exam stress by a competition to see which students can fall into the deepest sleep. They have blankets, pillows and eye masks, in an event sending the message that getting a good night’s sleep is an important part of relaxing.
Small pigs: Students at the University of Exeter in the UK are being offered small pigs to help ease their exam fears. A small pig helps those who lack academic confidence. The student newspaper promises that students will be very excited while playing with pigs.
1. What is a traditional way for American students to deal with stress?
A. Crying out. B. Raising pigs.
C. Having a break. D. Holding puppies.
2. What do the students need to do to use a “puppy room”?

I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world, but like so many others, I ended up on choosing to follow a career path instead of following my dream. I founded a company that I loved. Everything changed when I broke up with my girlfriend.
Sadness pushed me to my breaking point. It took me around three months after the break-up to finally make the decision to leave and travel the world. It was one of the hardest things I had ever done, but it was also the best choice I ever made in my life.
To this day, I still remember the day I called my parents, who are also deaf, to discuss my plans to travel the world. Both of my parents gave me their full support. They told me to go ahead and helped book my flight to Thailand.
I chose Southeast Asia as my first, and I was fortunate to spend it with my good friend Mic Dolan. We spent about six weeks backpacking through Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, having fun with tiger cubs and riding elephants. There was a new adventure every day. We paused long enough in Thailand to get certified in scuba diving, which turned out to be my favorite part. After that trip, I flew to Europe to meet another friend, John Hathaway. In this part of the journey, John and I turned our travels into a full-time adventure and we shared all of our stories on the Vlog platform Seek The World.
Showing the people that I met and my readers who I am makes me more confident with what I want for my life. After meeting many deaf people, I realized that I have done one thing that everybody wants to do: I’m reaching my dream by breaking down communication barrier (障碍) and overcoming different challenges. I always find a way. And I always make things happen. I didn’t do that in the past; I’m grateful that I do now.
4. What did the author do after finally deciding to travel the world?

C. The advantages of sharing stories. D. The methods of making things happen.
7. How did the author feel at the end of his journey?
A. Disappointed. B. Surprised. C. Interested. D. Satisfied.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】

I always find a way. And I always make things happen.

What makes preschoolers eat their vegetables? Raise their hand? Wait their turn? “Because I say so” is a comment that parents often repeat. But when it comes to getting kids to behave, a recent study by Duke University researchers suggests that the voice of adult authority isn’t the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too.
To understand what cause preschoolers to fall in line, the researchers conducted a test in a lab, where they invited 3.5-year-olds to help set up for a pretend tea party. Each of the 104 children was given a blue sticker(贴纸)to wear at the start of the study, and told that the people with that color sticker were part of the same team. Next the researchers watched as the children decided among different kinds of teas, snacks, cups and plates for the tea party, first on their own and then after listening to the choices of other team members.
Sometimes the other team members considered their choice as a matter of personal preference (“For my tea party today, I feel like using this snack.”) Other times they presented it as a need shared by the whole group. (“For our tea parties today, we always use this kind of snack.”)
After listening to the choices of others, most of the time the children stuck with their first choice. In other words, children who had said they felt like using, say, the cookie finally picked the cookie no matter what the other person said they were using. But 23% of the time the children changed their choice to accept someone else’s. And when they did, they were more likely to go along with the other person when a choice was presented as a group need rather than just a personal preference. The finding held up even when the other person was another child, not an adult.
8. What’s the recent study mainly about?
A. Parent training. B. Social rules.
C. Child behavior. D. Eating habits.
9. What does the underlined word “fall in line” refer to in paragraph 2?
A. Stand in a line. B. Join the group.
C. Listen to the parents. D. Attend a party.
10. What made children accept others’ choice?
A. The common need. B. The advice of adults.
C. The delicious cookie. D. The individual preference.
11. Which of the following is suitable title for the text?
A. Adults Are Losing Their Authority
B. 3-Year-Olds Want to Fit into the Group.
C. Children Are Not Born Knowing What to Do
D. Kids Are Acting Out of a Sense of Copying Adults.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。很多人认为孩子的行为规矩是因为成年人对他们所提出的要求,最近的一项研究表明,成年人权威的声音并不是唯一重要的事情。在三岁左右,融入群体也开始变得重要起来。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But when it comes to getting kids to behave, a recent study by Duke University researchers suggests that the voice of adult authority isn’t the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too.(但说到让孩子规规矩矩,杜克大学(Duke University)研究人员最近的一项研究表明,成年人权威的声音并不是唯一重要的事情。在三岁左右,融入群体也开始变得重要起来。)”可知,这项研究主要是关于孩子们的行为,故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“What makes preschoolers eat their vegetables? Raise their hand? Wait their turn? “Because I say so” is a comment that parents often repeat. (是什么让学龄前儿童吃蔬菜?举手吗?等待轮到它们吗?“因为我这么说”是父母经常重复的一句话。)”可知,很多父母认为孩子的行为是因为父母提出的要求,孩子听从父母的要求,结合第一小题的解析可知,对孩子行为的研究表明,成年人的声音不是唯一重要的事情,融入集体也有很大影响。结合划线词所在句“To understand what cause preschoolers to fall in line, the researchers conducted a test in a lab, where they invited 3.5-year-olds to help set up for a pretend tea party. (为了了解是什么原因导致学龄前儿童fall in line,研究人员在实验室里进行了一项测试,他们邀请3.5岁的孩子帮助布置一个虚拟的茶话会。)”可知,研究是为了了解孩子融入集体的原因,由此可推知,短语fall in line表示“融入集体”,故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But 23% of the time the children changed their choice to accept someone else’s. And when they did, they were more likely to go along with the other person when a choice was presented as a group need rather than just a personal preference. The finding held up even when the other person was another child, not an adult.(但有23%的孩子改变了选择,接受了别人的选择。当他们这样做的时候,当一个选择作为群体需要而不是个人偏好出现时,他们更有可能同意另一个人的选择。即使对方是另一个孩子,而不是成年人,这一发现仍然成立。)”可知,孩子会根据集体需要而改变自己的选择。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文结合第一段“But when it comes to getting kids to behave, a recent study by Duke University researchers suggests that the voice of adult authority isn’t the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too.(但说到让孩子规规矩矩,杜克大学(Duke University)研究人员最近的一项研究表明,成年人权威的声音并不是唯一重要的事情。在三岁左右,融入群体也开始变得重要起来。)”可知,本文主要是关于一项对孩子行为的研究,研究结果表明,三岁孩子会因为群体需求而改变自己的选择,融入群体对孩子的行为产生影响,所以B项“3-Year-Olds Want to Fit into the Group.(3岁的孩子想融入群体。)”符合文章中心主旨,适合作为本文标题,故选B。
D
Recently, the topic of “school subject colors” has become a heated debate. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about which colors are associated (关联) with which school subjects, even if they graduated from school a long time ago. People associate school subjects with colors subconsciously (下意识地). There could be lots of reasons for these color associations, but the most common explanation is that they're based on something people learned as a kid. At many schools, kids were asked to use color folders to keep their notes and homework in. Many people got so used to using the same colors over and over again that they still associate those colors with subjects to this day.
Of course, the color of each subject is different depending on the school kids went to and the teachers they had as well as their personal preferences. For that reason, not everyone agrees on colors.
However, a few associations are more widely accepted. For example, science, which nearly everyone thinks is green, does not spark much debate. It includes classes like chemistry, biology, and physics and they are closely related to nature. When people think of nature and the environment, green is a key color because so many things in nature are green.
People could also choose colors based on how the subjects make them feel. For example, if a subject makes them happy and excited, they might call it yellow. However, if a subject makes them angry, they could associate it with red. As for blue, if a subject is fun and relaxing, then it's likely that blue comes to mind first.
There are no right or wrong answers for the school subject debate. While the exact reason varies from person to person, it's a fascinating topic to focus on. It goes to show that just because we see something one way and someone else sees it another way doesn't mean it's wrong. It's just two different viewpoints.
12. Where do most people think their color associations come from?
A. Their personal preferences. B. Their grades of each subject.
C. Their school experience as a kid. D. Their teachers' teaching methods.
13. What does the underlined word "spark" in paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Flash. D. End.
14. Which color will an relaxing subject probably remind people of?
A. Yellow. B. Red. C. Blue. D. Green.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Who Likes Associating Colors to School Subjects B. How People Associate Colors with School Subjects
C. Why People Debate over Associations with Subjects D. What Colours People Associate with Certain Subjects
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们是如何将学校学科和颜色联系起来的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“People associate school subjects with colors subconsciously (下意识地). There could be lots of reasons for these color associations, but the most common explanation is that they're based on something people learned as a kid.(人们下意识地把学校的科目和颜色联系起来。这些颜色联想可能有很多原因,但最常见的解释是它们是基于人们小时候学到的东西)”可知,大多数人认为他们的颜色联想来自于他们小时候的学校经历。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“However, a few associations are more widely accepted. For example, science, which nearly everyone thinks is green, (然而,一些联系被更广泛地接受。例如,科学,几乎所有人都认为是绿色)”可知,科学和绿色联系在一起是几乎所有人同意的,不会引发太多争论。由此推知,划线单词表示“引发,触发”,与cause同义。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“As for blue, if a subject is fun and relaxing, then it's likely that blue comes to mind first. (至于蓝色,如果一个主题是有趣和放松的,那么很可能首先想到的是蓝色)”可知,一个轻松的主题会让人想起蓝色。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recently, the topic of “school subject colors” has become a heated debate. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about which colors are associated (关联) with which school subjects, even if they graduated from school a long time ago.(最近,关于“学校主题色彩”的话题成为了人们热议的话题。每个人似乎都对不同的颜色和不同的科目有不同的看法,即使他们已经从学校毕业很久了)”及下午介绍可知,文章主要讲述了人们是如何将将学校科目和颜色联系起来的。由此可知,How People Associate Colors with School Subjects(人们是如何将颜色与学校科目联系起来的)可以作为文章标题。故选B项。

【18题详解】
空格处是段落标题。根据下文“When you’re starting sailing, start with something for beginners. For example, you’d better operate a small sailboat made for kids. You need to know how to control sails to catch the wind and get the boat forward. You have to be able to move the sails, as well as use a rudder to direct the boat where you want it to go.( 当你开始航行时,从适合初学者的东西开始。例如,你最好操作一艘为孩子们制造的小帆船。你需要知道如何控制风帆来抓住风,让船前进。你必须能够移动帆,以及使用一个方向舵来引导你想要它去的地方。)”可知,本段讲述如何学习航行。故选A。

上文“As a beginner, you start your skills on land. And then you can expect to practise getting the boat ready to sail and into the water.( 作为初学者,你要在陆地上开始你的技能。然后你可以练习让船准备好航行和下水。)”可知,此处讲述联系航行技能,后半句“like raising the sails by pulling on the lines attached to them.( 比如通过拉动系在帆上的绳子来扬起帆。)”举例说明一些技能,C项中的“practise technical skills”呼应段落标题,因此推断C项“你将练习技术技能”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
下文“You can sail to have fun or to pursue it as a sport. Many sailing clubs hold racing competitions, or they might have a team you can join.( 你可以为了娱乐而航行,也可以把它当作一项运动来追求。许多帆船俱乐部举行比赛,或者他们可能有一个你可以加入的团队。)”说明学会划船以后可以做更多的事情,因此推断G项“一旦你学会了航海,你就可以用你的新爱好做很多事情”符合语境,故选G。

The Real Champion
I like running and for me, success was winning every race I participated in. My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world.
In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers.
Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.”
The race of two started. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran to the finish line, Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before arriving at the finish line, I was expecting to receive the applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm (抽筋).

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I fell hard to the ground. At this moment I felt sad and ashamed that I couldn’t finish the race. I lay on the ground, unwilling to face the fact and the crowds. I imagined the sneering faces and don’t know how to react. Suddenly a hand reached out to me. I raised my head and found it’s Matt. “Let’s run together.” he said. There was just sincerity on his face, no mock. I believed I should trust him, and gave him my hand.
Arm by arm, we walked towards the finish line. The crowds fell into silence,and then broke into loud applause. What did they applaud for? I think I know. Bowing to Matt, I thanked Matt for his help and admitted he was the champion. “No, I participate in the race not for the champion, just for the participation. You are very excellent.” he said. I was surprised at first, and then realized that the full engagement and good faith deserved the real champion.

Students will face the pre exam anxiety in the exam season. But in a growing tradition, universities and students’ unions are making increasingly great efforts to try to deal with stress.
Screaming: This is a tradition for students in the United States. Harvard, Northwestern and Columbia all have lessons of stress bursting screaming. At Northwestern in Illinois, students scream on the Sunday evening before finals week. At Wisconsin, the university headmaster took part in the screaming and social media even invited people to join in.
Puppies (幼犬): Partnering with a local guide dog charity in the UK, the University of Central Lancashire has a “puppy room” for stressed students. Students made a reservation in advance and were given 10 minutes to 15 minutes to play with the dogs, in exchange for a £1.50 minimum donation to the charity. “We are delighted to raise awareness of the Guide Dogs charity as well as to help students through a stressful period.” said a students’ union representative.
Sleep contest: Even sleeping has to be competitive in South Korea. At Duksung Women’s University in Seoul, students are dealing with exam stress by a competition to see which students can fall into the deepest sleep. They have blankets, pillows and eye masks, in an event sending the message that getting a good night’s sleep is an important part of relaxing.
Small pigs: Students at the University of Exeter in the UK are being offered small pigs to help ease their exam fears. A small pig helps those who lack academic confidence. The student newspaper promises that students will be very excited while playing with pigs.
1. What is a traditional way for American students to deal with stress?
A. Crying out. B. Raising pigs.
C. Having a break. D. Holding puppies.
2. What do the students need to do to use a “puppy room”?
A. Buy a ticket. B. Train guide dogs.
C. Book ahead of time. D. Raise money for the charity.
3. Which university suggests “deep sleep” to reduce pre exam stress?

D. Harvard University.

I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world, but like so many others, I ended up on choosing to follow a career path instead of following my dream. I founded a company that I loved. Everything changed when I broke up with my girlfriend.
Sadness pushed me to my breaking point. It took me around three months after the break-up to finally make the decision to leave and travel the world. It was one of the hardest things I had ever done, but it was also the best choice I ever made in my life.
To this day, I still remember the day I called my parents, who are also deaf, to discuss my plans to travel the world. Both of my parents gave me their full support. They told me to go ahead and helped book my flight to Thailand.
I chose Southeast Asia as my first, and I was fortunate to spend it with my good friend Mic Dolan. We spent about six weeks backpacking through Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, having fun with tiger cubs and riding elephants. There was a new adventure every day. We paused long enough in Thailand to get certified in scuba diving, which turned out to be my favorite part. After that trip, I flew to Europe to meet another friend, John Hathaway. In this part of the journey, John and I turned our travels into a full-time adventure and we shared all of our stories on the Vlog platform Seek The World.
Showing the people that I met and my readers who I am makes me more confident with what I want for my life. After meeting many deaf people, I realized that I have done one thing that everybody wants to do: I’m reaching my dream by breaking down communication barrier (障碍) and overcoming different challenges. I always find a way. And I always make things happen. I didn’t do that in the past; I’m grateful that I do now.
4. What did the author do after finally deciding to travel the world?
A. Breaking up with his girlfriend. B. Establishing his own company.
C. Sharing his plan with his parents. D. Thinking about what will happen.
5. What was the author’s most beloved experience in Southeast Asia?
A. Playing with animals. B. Diving with his friend.
C. Filming for his Vlog. D. Backpacking through countries.
6. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of this journey. B. The problems of hearing loss.
C. The advantages of sharing stories. D. The methods of making things happen.
7. How did the author feel at the end of his journey?
A. Disappointed. B. Surprised. C. Interested. D. Satisfied.

What makes preschoolers eat their vegetables? Raise their hand? Wait their turn? “Because I say so” is a comment that parents often repeat. But when it comes to getting kids to behave, a recent study by Duke University researchers suggests that the voice of adult authority isn’t the only thing that matters. Around age three, fitting in with the group starts to count big too.
To understand what cause preschoolers to fall in line, the researchers conducted a test in a lab, where they invited 3.5-year-olds to help set up for a pretend tea party. Each of the 104 children was given a blue sticker(贴纸)to wear at the start of the study, and told that the people with that color sticker were part of the same team. Next the researchers watched as the children decided among different kinds of teas, snacks, cups and plates for the tea party, first on their own and then after listening to the choices of other team members.
Sometimes the other team members considered their choice as a matter of personal preference (“For my tea party today, I feel like using this snack.”) Other times they presented it as a need shared by the whole group. (“For our tea parties today, we always use this kind of snack.”)
After listening to the choices of others, most of the time the children stuck with their first choice. In other words, children who had said they felt like using, say, the cookie finally picked the cookie no matter what the other person said they were using. But 23% of the time the children changed their choice to accept someone else’s. And when they did, they were more likely to go along with the other person when a choice was presented as a group need rather than just a personal preference. The finding held up even when the other person was another child, not an adult.

D
Recently, the topic of “school subject colors” has become a heated debate. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about which colors are associated (关联) with which school subjects, even if they graduated from school a long time ago. People associate school subjects with colors subconsciously (下意识地). There could be lots of reasons for these color associations, but the most common explanation is that they're based on something people learned as a kid. At many schools, kids were asked to use color folders to keep their notes and homework in. Many people got so used to using the same colors over and over again that they still associate those colors with subjects to this day.
Of course, the color of each subject is different depending on the school kids went to and the teachers they had as well as their personal preferences. For that reason, not everyone agrees on colors.
However, a few associations are more widely accepted. For example, science, which nearly everyone thinks is green, does not spark much debate. It includes classes like chemistry, biology, and physics and they are closely related to nature. When people think of nature and the environment, green is a key color because so many things in nature are green.
People could also choose colors based on how the subjects make them feel. For example, if a subject makes them happy and excited, they might call it yellow. However, if a subject makes them angry, they could associate it with red. As for blue, if a subject is fun and relaxing, then it's likely that blue comes to mind first.
There are no right or wrong answers for the school subject debate. While the exact reason varies from person to person, it's a fascinating topic to focus on. It goes to show that just because we see something one way and someone else sees it another way doesn't mean it's wrong. It's just two different viewpoints.
12. Where do most people think their color associations come from?
A. Their personal preferences. B. Their grades of each subject.
C. Their school experience as a kid. D. Their teachers' teaching methods.
13. What does the underlined word "spark" in paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Flash. D. End.
14. Which color will an relaxing subject probably remind people of?
A. Yellow. B. Red. C. Blue. D. Green.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Who Likes Associating Colors to School Subjects B. How People Associate Colors with School Subjects
C. Why People Debate over Associations with Subjects D. What Colours People Associate with Certain Subjects

The Real Champion
I like running and for me, success was winning every race I participated in. My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world.
In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers.
Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.”
The race of two started. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran to the finish line, Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before arriving at the finish line, I was expecting to receive the applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm (抽筋).
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
