As the Alaskan sky gradually turned dark blue, the commands to my sled dog team broke the silence. I threw a glance over my shoulder as I raced down the frozen river in the sub-zero temperatures. Where was Mike, my guide? I wondered if he realized I was miles away.
While exploring in the early evening, my lead dog smelled something it couldn’t resist. Regardless of my instructions, it instinctively turned sharply and led all the other dogs in the opposite direction at full speed. In my conversations with Mike over the past few days, I’d been told that if I got lost, I would be in big trouble. There weren’t any supplies for me — no extra clothing or shelter, not to mention the firestarter, and we had seen wolf tracks regularly.
It was March, the end of the Alaskan winter. A long journey from Australia had brought me to Yukon, Alaska. My hosts’ log cabin was the starting point for my 10-day adventure. Wayne and Scarlett, my hosts, lived a sustainable life. They hunted, fished, and gathered food while consciously minimizing their carbon footprint. Having enjoyed many years of exploring the Alaskan wilderness, the couple chose to help adventurers to experience the same lifestyle.
Driving a team of sled dogs is not as easy as it appears. I’d imagined it would be a very relaxing experience, enjoying the scenery as I moved smoothly. In reality it turned out much tougher. You must predict where your dogs would go and watch for changes in the icy surface.
During the journey, we stayed in a different place every night, and took care of our dog teams. These dogs can guarantee our safety and help us escape dangerous situations, so their health and well-being always rank first. After we settled, we started collecting snow for water and cutting fire-wood.
Luckily, I didn’t end up in the fangs (尖牙) of wolves. Mike found me sometime later. Our dog teams, in the excitement of being reunited, headed straight for each other and got tangled up in the ropes. There’s never a boring moment.
4. Why did the author get lost?
A. The weather worsened unexpectedly.
B. The guide failed to keep up with the team.
C. The lead dog was attracted by a smell.
D. The wolf disturbed the dog with its howl.
5. How did the author like the real dog sled ride?
A. Relaxing. B. Dangerous.
C. Comfortable. D. Challenging.
6. What can we learn about the trip?
A. Wolves often attacked visitors in the area.
B. The dogs were highly valued and well treated.
C. The author stayed in the same place each night.
D. Enough supplies were prepared for emergencies.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. An adventure in wilderness.
B. The Alaskan lifestyle.
C. An appreciation of nature.
D. The tourism in Alaska.
C
It has been known for a long time that obesity tends to run in families, but it was not until about 20 years ago that scientists started to discover that changes in specific genes can have very large impacts on our weight even from early childhood.
One of these genes MC4R makes a protein that is produced in the brain where it sends signals to our appetite centers, telling them how much fat we have stored. When the MC4R gene does not work properly, our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do, signaling that we are starving and need to eat.
A new study, led by scientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bristol, has found that around one in every 340 people may carry a disruptive mutation (变异) at MC4R. People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood and, by 18 years of age, they were on average 17 kg heavier, with the majority of this excess weight likely to be fat.
These results were found by studying the MC4R gene in a random sample of around 6, 000 participants born in Bristol. Whenever a mutation was found, the researchers went on to study its frequency and effects in the laboratory.
Based on the frequency of mutations in this study, it was estimated that around 200, 000 people in the UK carry a substantial amount of unexpected fat because of mutations in MC4R.
Professor Stephen O’Rahilly, one of the researchers, said, “Parents of obese children are often blamed for poor parenting and not all children obtain appropriate professional help. Our findings should encourage a more sympathetic and reasonable approach to overweight children and their families—including genetic analysis in all seriously obese children.”
Though the MC4R gene is a striking example, this is only one gene of many that affect our weight. “In the longer term, knowledge of the brain pathways controlled by MC4R should help in the design of drugs that help restore people to a healthy weight,” Stephen added.
8. What can we know about MC4R gene?
A. MC4R gene affects people’s appetite negatively.
B. The mutation of MC4R gene stimulates people’s desire to eat.
C. MC4R is the only gene that contributes to people’s overweight problem.
D. Scientists discovered MC4R could influence people’s weight recently.
9. What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. proper. B. essential. C. considerable. D. additional.
10. What can we infer from Professor Stephen’s words?
A. Parents should be to blame for poor parenting.
B. The obesity problem should be treated fairly and scientifically.
C. New drugs can help overweight children lose much fat in the long run.
D. Knowledge of MC4R should be applied to helping obese children physically and mentally.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Suggestions on how to maintain a standard weight.
B. A discussion of British people’s overweight problems.
C. A study about the effect of MC4R’s mutation on weight.
D. The relationship between people’s appetite and MC4R’s mutation.
D
Do you think alien beings exist somewhere in the universe? It seems like Mars, our closest neighbor, has inspired the most science fiction as the place where aliens are most likely to come from. Recent Mars probes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that planet—at least not now. But that does not mean that life does not exist elsewhere—after all, the universe is really big. A lot of scientific research is going on in the search for “extraterrestrial life”.
Think about it—why should the seven billion people on this little planet be the only living beings in the universe? It would, in fact, seem logical that this is not the case. So scientific research in this matter is based around the idea of finding other planets that have environments that can support life —environments similar to the Earth. The search is on for the evidence of the existence, or earlier existence of life: from very wise beings to simple organisms (有机物).
So far, there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life and therefore deserve closer attention. As for places within our own Milky Way Galaxy, it has been assumed over the decades that Mars and Venus, as well as some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, may have been hosts for life. Now, as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms are increasing.
There has been a theory that some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life. In 2007, scientists discovered exoplanet Gliese 581c—and felt that its atmosphere was most suitable for supporting life. But further research revealed that it would not. Now, attention has been turned to Gliese 581d, at the outer edge of the star’s habitable zone. The main standards for deciding whether a planetary body can be life-supporting are atmospheric conditions which allow the existence of water. Gliese 581 is about 20. 4 light years away from the Earth, so even if life does exist there, the distance would mean that communication would be unlikely.
Having said this—who says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?
12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Life existing outside of the Earth.
B. The evidence of the existence of life.
C. Other faraway planets in the universe.
D. Creatures known from science fictions.
13. What makes it possible for people to find “alien beings”?
A. Modern scientific theories. B. Atmospheric conditions.
C. Environments similar to the Earth. D. Advanced technologies.
14. From the passage, we know that _________.
A. the atmosphere of Gliese 581c was most suitable for life
B. it is not certain whether alien life forms need water or not
C. the 7 billion people on the Earth are the only beings in the universe
D. the distance of 20. 4 light years makes it impossible to find life on Gliese 581d
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Do Aliens Exist? B. Is Mars Suitable for Life?
C. Are Alien Life Forms Various? D. Can We Communicate with Aliens?
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We tend to respect and even admire those who exhibit a lot of willpower. The friend who hits up the gym five times a week. The colleague who manages to stay calm and focused in nearly every situation. Research suggests that these people are not only viewed as trustworthy but also morally superior. ____16____ Surveys show that many Americans are feeling heightened levels of anxiety and stress, which can make delaying gratification (满足感) and containing desires even harder.
____17____ While you can use willpower to manage your emotions or fight temptation (诱惑), it may not be the most effective method. To improve willpower, it boils down to just trying harder. But self-control involves a set of skills that can be learned. Preparation, mind-set and the ability to either avoid or reframe temptation can be far more effective than trying to force that desire down.
Developing your self-control starts with self-empowerment. ____18____ After all, if you don’t think you can control yourself then why would you make any efforts to do so? Focus on the times when you have succeeded in accomplishing a goal related to the one you’re focused on now. You can also try thinking about times when a family member or friend was successful and ask them for any tips. ____19____
There are multiple strategies for improving self-control, like creating routines, monitoring your progress and editing your inner circle. Trying several is more effective than picking just one. And remember, attaining better self-control is not an all-or-nothing pursuit. ____20____ Even so, you can still make progress towards your goal. The key is to keep going.
A. If they can do it, you can too.
B. You may need support from others.
C. But do not confuse willpower with self-control.
D. Yet, willpower is in short supply in modern life.
E. Self-control is important for people to achieve goals.
F. Believing you are capable of it can help you succeed.
G. You may slip up sometimes or allow yourself a cheat day.

Ricky had finished school in his small hometown. Although his father hoped he would go on to study for a Master’s degree, Ricky was determined to learn computer skills. At school, he had once watched a computer demonstration and was deeply impressed. From then on, he made up his mind to leave the town and go to the city.
Life in the city was far from easy. Ricky’s troubles began with finding a place to live. He looked at several rooms, but either the rent was too high or the place was too far from his training institute. At last, an elderly couple agreed to take him in. The room was small and poorly ventilated, but Ricky felt thankful because they also provided him with meals.
Ricky attended classes regularly, yet he found it hard to follow the instructor. He sat at the back of the classroom, kept his eyes on his notebook, and wrote down whatever he could understand. As soon as class was over, he would leave quietly without speaking to anyone. Later, he would borrow the books recommended by the instructor from the library and spend the evening trying to understand them. While his classmates relaxed and enjoyed themselves after class, Ricky stayed by himself. Though he longed to join them, he lacked the courage. As the days went by, he began to doubt his decision. More than once, he wished he had listened to his father and chosen further study instead.
One day, his father came to see him and found him looking miserable. Ricky could no longer hold back his feelings. He told his father that he wanted to give up and return home. After listening patiently, his father suggested that he talk to the instructor about his difficulties and try reading books written by local authors or in a language he could understand more easily.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ricky decided to follow his father’s advice.

As the Alaskan sky gradually turned dark blue, the commands to my sled dog team broke the silence. I threw a glance over my shoulder as I raced down the frozen river in the sub-zero temperatures. Where was Mike, my guide? I wondered if he realized I was miles away.
While exploring in the early evening, my lead dog smelled something it couldn’t resist. Regardless of my instructions, it instinctively turned sharply and led all the other dogs in the opposite direction at full speed. In my conversations with Mike over the past few days, I’d been told that if I got lost, I would be in big trouble. There weren’t any supplies for me — no extra clothing or shelter, not to mention the firestarter, and we had seen wolf tracks regularly.
It was March, the end of the Alaskan winter. A long journey from Australia had brought me to Yukon, Alaska. My hosts’ log cabin was the starting point for my 10-day adventure. Wayne and Scarlett, my hosts, lived a sustainable life. They hunted, fished, and gathered food while consciously minimizing their carbon footprint. Having enjoyed many years of exploring the Alaskan wilderness, the couple chose to help adventurers to experience the same lifestyle.
Driving a team of sled dogs is not as easy as it appears. I’d imagined it would be a very relaxing experience, enjoying the scenery as I moved smoothly. In reality it turned out much tougher. You must predict where your dogs would go and watch for changes in the icy surface.
During the journey, we stayed in a different place every night, and took care of our dog teams. These dogs can guarantee our safety and help us escape dangerous situations, so their health and well-being always rank first. After we settled, we started collecting snow for water and cutting fire-wood.
Luckily, I didn’t end up in the fangs (尖牙) of wolves. Mike found me sometime later. Our dog teams, in the excitement of being reunited, headed straight for each other and got tangled up in the ropes. There’s never a boring moment.
4. Why did the author get lost?
A. The weather worsened unexpectedly.
B. The guide failed to keep up with the team.
C. The lead dog was attracted by a smell.
D. The wolf disturbed the dog with its howl.
5. How did the author like the real dog sled ride?
A. Relaxing. B. Dangerous.
C. Comfortable. D. Challenging.
6. What can we learn about the trip?
A. Wolves often attacked visitors in the area.
B. The dogs were highly valued and well treated.
C. The author stayed in the same place each night.
D. Enough supplies were prepared for emergencies.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. An adventure in wilderness.

It has been known for a long time that obesity tends to run in families, but it was not until about 20 years ago that scientists started to discover that changes in specific genes can have very large impacts on our weight even from early childhood.
One of these genes MC4R makes a protein that is produced in the brain where it sends signals to our appetite centers, telling them how much fat we have stored. When the MC4R gene does not work properly, our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do, signaling that we are starving and need to eat.
A new study, led by scientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Bristol, has found that around one in every 340 people may carry a disruptive mutation (变异) at MC4R. People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood and, by 18 years of age, they were on average 17 kg heavier, with the majority of this excess weight likely to be fat.
These results were found by studying the MC4R gene in a random sample of around 6, 000 participants born in Bristol. Whenever a mutation was found, the researchers went on to study its frequency and effects in the laboratory.
Based on the frequency of mutations in this study, it was estimated that around 200, 000 people in the UK carry a substantial amount of unexpected fat because of mutations in MC4R.
Professor Stephen O’Rahilly, one of the researchers, said, “Parents of obese children are often blamed for poor parenting and not all children obtain appropriate professional help. Our findings should encourage a more sympathetic and reasonable approach to overweight children and their families—including genetic analysis in all seriously obese children.”
Though the MC4R gene is a striking example, this is only one gene of many that affect our weight. “In the longer term, knowledge of the brain pathways controlled by MC4R should help in the design of drugs that help restore people to a healthy weight,” Stephen added.
8. What can we know about MC4R gene?
A. MC4R gene affects people’s appetite negatively.
B. The mutation of MC4R gene stimulates people’s desire to eat.
C. MC4R is the only gene that contributes to people’s overweight problem.
D. Scientists discovered MC4R could influence people’s weight recently.
9. What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. proper. B. essential. C. considerable. D. additional.
10. What can we infer from Professor Stephen’s words?
A. Parents should be to blame for poor parenting.
B. The obesity problem should be treated fairly and scientifically.
C. New drugs can help overweight children lose much fat in the long run.
D. Knowledge of MC4R should be applied to helping obese children physically and mentally.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Suggestions on how to maintain a standard weight.
B. A discussion of British people’s overweight problems.
C. A study about the effect of MC4R’s mutation on weight.
D. The relationship between people’s appetite and MC4R’s mutation.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,MC4R基因的突变可能会对人类的体重产生影响,导致儿童的肥胖问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“When the MC4R gene does not work properly, our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do, signaling that we are starving and need to eat.”(当MC4R基因不能正常工作时,我们的大脑认为我们的脂肪储备比我们应该有的低,这表明我们正在挨饿,需要吃东西。)可知,当MC4R基因不能正常工作时,大脑会认为我们的脂肪储备较低,从而刺激我们的食欲,让我们想要吃东西,由此可知,MC4R基因的突变刺激了人们的食欲。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句“People who carry these mutations were more likely to have a greater weight from early childhood and, by 18 years of age, they were on average 17 kg heavier”(携带这些突变基因的人从童年早期就更容易体重超重,到18岁时,他们平均体重超重17公斤)可知,携带这些突变基因的人到18岁时,平均体重超重17公斤,由此可知,画线单词部分指的是“大部分超重可能是脂肪”,“additional”意为“额外的”,能够表达画线单词在句中表达的意思,“additional weight”指超出正常体重的额外的重量,这些重量可能是脂肪。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容“Professor Stephen O’Rahilly, one of the researchers, said, “Parents of obese children are often blamed for poor parenting and not all children obtain appropriate professional help. Our findings should encourage a more sympathetic and reasonable approach to overweight children and their families—including genetic analysis in all seriously obese children.””(研究人员之一Stephen O’Rahilly教授表示:“肥胖儿童的父母往往因糟糕的养育方式被指责,并非所有儿童都能获得适当的专业帮助。我们的发现应该鼓励对超重儿童及其家庭采取更具同情心和更合理的方法,包括对所有严重肥胖儿童进行基因分析。”)可知,Stephen O’Rahilly认为面对超重儿童及其家庭,我们不应该一味的指责家长的养育方式,而是采取更具同情心、更科学和更合理的方法对待肥胖问题,包括对所有严重肥胖儿童进行基因分析,由此可知,我们可以从Stephen教授的话中推断出应该公平、科学地对待肥胖问题。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章,结合第二段关键句“When the MC4R gene does not work properly, our brains think we have lower fat stores than we do, signaling that we are starving and need to eat.”(当MC4R基因不能正常工作时,我们的大脑认为我们的脂肪储备比我们应该有的低,这表明我们正在挨饿,需要吃东西。)可知,文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,MC4R基因的突变可能会对人类的体重产生影响,导致儿童的肥胖问题,“A study about the effect of MC4R’s mutation on weight”意为“关于MC4R基因突变对体重影响的研究”选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。

Do you think alien beings exist somewhere in the universe? It seems like Mars, our closest neighbor, has inspired the most science fiction as the place where aliens are most likely to come from. Recent Mars probes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that planet—at least not now. But that does not mean that life does not exist elsewhere—after all, the universe is really big. A lot of scientific research is going on in the search for “extraterrestrial life”.
Think about it—why should the seven billion people on this little planet be the only living beings in the universe? It would, in fact, seem logical that this is not the case. So scientific research in this matter is based around the idea of finding other planets that have environments that can support life —environments similar to the Earth. The search is on for the evidence of the existence, or earlier existence of life: from very wise beings to simple organisms (有机物).
So far, there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life and therefore deserve closer attention. As for places within our own Milky Way Galaxy, it has been assumed over the decades that Mars and Venus, as well as some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, may have been hosts for life. Now, as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms are increasing.
There has been a theory that some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life. In 2007, scientists discovered exoplanet Gliese 581c—and felt that its atmosphere was most suitable for supporting life. But further research revealed that it would not. Now, attention has been turned to Gliese 581d, at the outer edge of the star’s habitable zone. The main standards for deciding whether a planetary body can be life-supporting are atmospheric conditions which allow the existence of water. Gliese 581 is about 20. 4 light years away from the Earth, so even if life does exist there, the distance would mean that communication would be unlikely.
Having said this—who says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?
12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Life existing outside of the Earth.
B. The evidence of the existence of life.
C. Other faraway planets in the universe.
D. Creatures known from science fictions.
13. What makes it possible for people to find “alien beings”?
A. Modern scientific theories. B. Atmospheric conditions.
C. Environments similar to the Earth. D. Advanced technologies.
14. From the passage, we know that _________.
A. the atmosphere of Gliese 581c was most suitable for life
B. it is not certain whether alien life forms need water or not
C. the 7 billion people on the Earth are the only beings in the universe
D. the distance of 20. 4 light years makes it impossible to find life on Gliese 581d
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Do Aliens Exist? B. Is Mars Suitable for Life?
C. Are Alien Life Forms Various? D. Can We Communicate with Aliens?
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了科学家们在不断寻找和探索外星球上是否有类似于地球的环境,可以支持生命的存在。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。在第一段中提到“Recent Mars probes (探测) have shown us that there is no life on that planet—at least not now. But that does not mean that life does not exist elsewhere(尽管火星探测器显示火星上没有生命,至少现在没有,但这并不意味着其他地方没有生命的存在。)”由此知,划线词所在的句子意思为“许多科学研究还在继续寻找其他星球上有没有生命”。由此可以猜测extraterrestrial life意思为“存在于地球之外的生命”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“as technologies have improved and we can obtain measurements of the composition of the atmosphere on extra-solar planets, the chances of finding “alien” life forms are increasing.(随着科技的进步,我们可以测量太阳系外行星的大气成分,那么发现“外星”生命形式的可能性正在增加。)”可知,科学技术的进步让人们发现“外星人”成为可能。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Having said this—who says alien life forms (if they exist) need water?(话虽如此,谁说外星生物(如果它们存在的话)需要水?)”可知,作者对“外星生命是否一定需要有水才能存在”提出疑问,也就是说外星生命是否需要水还不确定。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章首句提出问题“Do you think alien beings exist somewhere in the universe?”;文章第三段首句提到“there have been a number of theories as to which planetary bodies may have an atmosphere that can support such life.(关于哪些行星体可能有能够支持生命的大气,已经有了许多理论。)”,第四段首句提到“There has been a theory that some of the planets in the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 581 may be able to support life.(有一种理论认为,红矮星Gliese 581的宜居带中的一些行星可能适合生命存在。)”文章是讲述科学家们对哪些星体可能有生命的存在的不断探索。因此文章标题应为“外星人存在吗”。故选A项。

We tend to respect and even admire those who exhibit a lot of willpower. The friend who hits up the gym five times a week. The colleague who manages to stay calm and focused in nearly every situation. Research suggests that these people are not only viewed as trustworthy but also morally superior. ____16____ Surveys show that many Americans are feeling heightened levels of anxiety and stress, which can make delaying gratification (满足感) and containing desires even harder.
____17____ While you can use willpower to manage your emotions or fight temptation (诱惑), it may not be the most effective method. To improve willpower, it boils down to just trying harder. But self-control involves a set of skills that can be learned. Preparation, mind-set and the ability to either avoid or reframe temptation can be far more effective than trying to force that desire down.
Developing your self-control starts with self-empowerment. ____18____ After all, if you don’t think you can control yourself then why would you make any efforts to do so? Focus on the times when you have succeeded in accomplishing a goal related to the one you’re focused on now. You can also try thinking about times when a family member or friend was successful and ask them for any tips. ____19____
There are multiple strategies for improving self-control, like creating routines, monitoring your progress and editing your inner circle. Trying several is more effective than picking just one. And remember, attaining better self-control is not an all-or-nothing pursuit. ____20____ Even so, you can still make progress towards your goal. The key is to keep going.
A. If they can do it, you can too.
B. You may need support from others.
C. But do not confuse willpower with self-control.
D. Yet, willpower is in short supply in modern life.
E. Self-control is important for people to achieve goals.

上文“We tend to respect and even admire those who exhibit a lot of willpower. The friend who hits up the gym five times a week. The colleague who manages to stay calm and focused in nearly every situation. Research suggests that these people are not only viewed as trustworthy but also morally superior. (我们往往会尊重甚至敬佩那些意志力顽强的人。每周去五次健身房的朋友,在几乎任何情况下都能保持冷静、专心投入的同事。研究表明,这类人不仅被认为值得信赖,在道德层面也更受人推崇)”说明意志力强的人受人尊重,下文“Surveys show that many Americans are feeling heightened levels of anxiety and stress, which can make delaying gratification (满足感) and containing desires even harder. (调查显示,许多美国人感到焦虑和压力加剧,这使得延迟满足和抑制欲望变得更加困难)”说明现代人面临很多压力,意志力缺乏,空处承上启下,D选项“然而,在现代生活中,意志力却很缺乏”与上文形成转折关系,同时引出下文意志力缺乏的现状,符合语境。
【17题详解】
下文“While you can use willpower to manage your emotions or fight temptation (诱惑), it may not be the most effective method. To improve willpower, it boils down to just trying harder. But self-control involves a set of skills that can be learned. (虽然你可以用意志力控制情绪或抵御诱惑,但这或许并不是最有效的方法。想要提升意志力,人们往往归结为单纯更加努力。但自控力是一套可以后天习得的能力)”分别阐述意志力和自控力的不同作用,说明意志力并非最有效方式,自控力是可习得的技能。空处总起下文,区分两个概念,C选项“但不要把意志力和自控力混为一谈”引出下文对比,符合语境。
【18题详解】
上文“Developing your self-control starts with self-empowerment. (培养自控力,要从自我赋能、相信自我开始)”说明培养自控力始于自我赋能,下文“After all, if you don’t think you can control yourself then why would you make any efforts to do so? (毕竟,如果你认为自己无法控制自己,那么你为什么还要努力这样做呢?)”说明相信自己能控制自己很重要,空处承上启下,F选项“相信自己有能力做到这一点可以帮助你成功”承接上文,直接对应下文的反问,说明了信念对成功的作用。
【19题详解】
上文“You can also try thinking about times when a family member or friend was successful and ask them for any tips. (你也可以试着想想家人或朋友成功的时候,并向他们请教一些技巧)”说明可以向成功的人请教,空处顺承文意,由他人成功联想到自身,A选项“如果他们能做到,你也能”承接上文,说明向成功的人请教的效果,符合语境。
【20题详解】
上文“And remember, attaining better self-control is not an all-or-nothing pursuit. (记住,培养更强的自控力并不是要么完美做到、要么彻底放弃的绝对追求)”说明培养自控力不是非成即败的追求,下文“Even so, you can still make progress towards your goal. (即便如此,你仍然可以朝着你的目标前进)”说明即使不能一下子完成,也可以慢慢进步,空处承上启下,G选项“你有时可能会犯错,或者允许自己有一天放纵一下”中的“slip up”和“cheat day”与上文“all-or-nothing”形成对比,下文“Even so”表示让步,前后逻辑连贯。

Maybe teenage years weren’t the ideal time to receive my mother’s advice to wear a range of colours. What better way to express how you feel on any given day, and convey that mood ____36____ the world, she would say. It was important to the eye, to the soul.
It really isn’t the best advice ____37____ (give) any teenager, especially one ____38____ was hoping to disappear in all-black sportswear.

43. has become
44. probably
45. shiny##shining
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲的是作者对母亲建议自己穿多彩衣服这一看法的转变过程。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:她常说,还有什么比通过每天穿着不同色彩的衣服来表达内心感受,并将这种情绪传递给全世界更好的方式呢?convey sth. to sb.是固定短语,意为“给某人传递某物”,故填to。
【37题详解】
考查不定式。句意:这实在不是给任何青少年,尤其是那些希望穿着全黑运动服隐没于人群中的青少年的最佳建议。名词advice前有最高级the best修饰,空格处用不定式作后置定语,故填to give。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这实在不是给任何青少年,尤其是那些希望穿着全黑运动服隐没于人群中的青少年的最佳建议。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词是one,指的是teenager,是人,因此用关系代词who/that引导定语从句,故填who/that。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:如今我明白,她的建议并非关乎时尚、取悦他人或给人留下深刻印象,而是关乎由内而外地装扮自己。not...but...是固定搭配,意为“不是……而是……”,因此空格处是but,故填but。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:我不太确定自己是什么时候开始身体力行的,但我记得二十出头时的一天早晨,我醒来看着自己的衣柜,心想:今天我想穿什么颜色呢?句子描述过去的事情,时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式,故填started。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这个问题能带来出人意料的日常自我觉察。question是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,空格处用不定冠词,question是辅音音素开头,空格处用不定冠词a,故填a。
【42题详解】
考查不定式和被动语态。句意:我是想被人看到,还是想躲起来?want to do是固定短语,意为“想要做某事”,“我”是想被人看到,因此空格处用不定式的被动语态to be seen,故填to be seen。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:多年来,我的衣柜变得越来越色彩斑斓,而且,母亲说得对:穿上那双金光闪闪的粉色鞋子,还有那条亮得大概能从月球上看到的银色裙子,确实能给我带来欢乐。由over the years可知,句子时态是现在完成时,主语My wardrobe是单数,因此空格处是has become。故填has become。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:多年来,我的衣柜变得越来越色彩斑斓,而且,母亲说得对:穿上那双金光闪闪的粉色鞋子,还有那条亮得大概能从月球上看到的银色裙子,确实能给我带来欢乐。空格处用副词probably修饰动词be spotted,probably意为“可能”。故填probably。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:穿上鲜艳的颜色会让我感到无比幸福,每当这时,我就感觉自己仿佛在大声呼喊:“看啊,是我,是我,就是我!”空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词colours,shine的形容词是shiny/shining,意为“发光的”。故填shiny/shining。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m Li Hua from Class 1. I’m writing to share my thoughts on the AI-powered evaluation of our speeches in your class last Friday. In my opinion, AI is really efficient and objective, offering clear and detailed advice on our grammar, vocabulary and structure. However, it cannot fully understand our emotions, original ideas and personal experiences, which are the soul of a good speech.

Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ricky had finished school in his small hometown. Although his father hoped he would go on to study for a Master’s degree, Ricky was determined to learn computer skills. At school, he had once watched a computer demonstration and was deeply impressed. From then on, he made up his mind to leave the town and go to the city.
Life in the city was far from easy. Ricky’s troubles began with finding a place to live. He looked at several rooms, but either the rent was too high or the place was too far from his training institute. At last, an elderly couple agreed to take him in. The room was small and poorly ventilated, but Ricky felt thankful because they also provided him with meals.
Ricky attended classes regularly, yet he found it hard to follow the instructor. He sat at the back of the classroom, kept his eyes on his notebook, and wrote down whatever he could understand. As soon as class was over, he would leave quietly without speaking to anyone. Later, he would borrow the books recommended by the instructor from the library and spend the evening trying to understand them. While his classmates relaxed and enjoyed themselves after class, Ricky stayed by himself. Though he longed to join them, he lacked the courage. As the days went by, he began to doubt his decision. More than once, he wished he had listened to his father and chosen further study instead.
One day, his father came to see him and found him looking miserable. Ricky could no longer hold back his feelings. He told his father that he wanted to give up and return home. After listening patiently, his father suggested that he talk to the instructor about his difficulties and try reading books written by local authors or in a language he could understand more easily.

【答案】 Ricky decided to follow his father’s advice. The next day, he gathered his courage and went to talk to his instructor after class. He honestly shared his difficulties in keeping up with the lessons and his fear of falling behind. The instructor was very patient and gave him clear learning plans and useful learning materials. Following the suggestion, Ricky also borrowed some easier books related to computer skills. He kept studying every day and gradually found the knowledge easier to understand. Little by little, he no longer felt helpless or lonely.
With growing confidence, Ricky started to challenge himself in new ways. He began to sit closer in class and actively asked questions. He even tried to communicate with his classmates and formed small groups to discuss difficult points together. His hard work finally paid off. Soon, his grades improved greatly. He realized that choosing computer skills was not a mistake. With strong determination, he kept moving forward bravely, firmly believing a bright future was waiting for him.
