The Well That Changed the World
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain. It was very close — only ten steps away. So, Ryan asked himself, “Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometers to get water every day? And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick?” Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me, but hard for those people. Why don’t I help?”
At first, his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbors. He soon reached his first target of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well. Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump. Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children. What they needed was a well dug near their homes.
Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbors and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile.
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help?”, but “How can I help today?”. This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality.
4. What inspired the Canadian boy to help?
A. The dirty water he found in Uganda.
B. What he learned from his teacher.
C. The drinking fountain in his school.
D. The ten-kilometer distance to the source of water.
5. What did Ryan plan to do at first?
A. To set up a foundation.
B. To help buy a hand pump.
C. To donate some money to a charity.
D. To help build a well somewhere in Africa.
6. Which of the following can best describe Ryan?
A. Helpful and determined. B. Joyful and warm-hearted.
C. Hard-working and grateful. D. Delighted and generous.
7. What’s the influence of Ryan’s foundation?
A. A well was built in Uganda.
B. Over 800,000 wells have been built.
C. All the Africans can drink clean water now.
D. Over 800,000 people in Africa have had clean water.

Dear Agony Aunt,
I’m in a total mess here-hope you can help me out!
I’m 17, and a member of our school basketball team. I’m crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match. We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasn’t even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. I was just letting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I’d said.
This is so totally awkward. I’m really angry with my friend. What should I say to him? And should I say anything at all to my teammate?
Embarrassed and ashamed, I can’t concentrate on anything. Please help!
Dear Ben,
There is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble.
The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s. Treated this way, you’re sure to feel hurt — we should always be able to trust those closest to us, and it hurts even more when we find we can’t.
But I have to say that it’s partly your fault isn’t it? You admit that you were “letting off steam”. It is understandable in that situation, but we should always think before we speak.
Here’s what you need to do. First, apologize to your teammate. If you ever want to win any more basketball games (and I’m sure you do!), you need to work together, and that means communicating with each other clearly and resolving conflicts. So have a chat with your teammate. Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.
Then, talk to your friend. Friendship should be one of the greatest things in the world, but sometimes it can be difficult. Again, your strategy is clear communication. Tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on. Approached in this way, your friendship will soon be repaired.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. Don’t say too much when you’re angry! Filled with anger, you tend to say whatever comes to your mind. This gives people the wrong signal. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. If you feel one of your teammates isn’t pulling their weight, then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach.
If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own, you’ll soon find everything works out.
8. Why did Ben’s team lose the match?
A. The opponents were too strong. B. The point guard performed badly.
C. Ben didn’t play well in the match. D. The team were not united.
9. What put Ben in an awkward situation?
A. His letting off steam.
B. His team’s losing the match.
C. His not concentrating on studying.
D. His best friend’s telling what he said to others.
10. Which example shows the saying “Loose lips sink ships”?
A. An old man often helps those in trouble.
B. What you say may cause a terrible result.
C. People admire Tom for his brave behaviour.
D. A young man talks to others in a polite manner.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to deal with conflicts between teammates
B. Agony Aunt explaining the causes of problems.
C. Agony Aunt helping Ben to resolve some problems.
D. “Loose lips sink ships” meaning causing all kinds of trouble.
D
Live from the Louvre
Hi, it’s Zack! Greetings from Paris, everyone! This broadcast is being brought to you from one of the largest museums on Earth — the Louvre! Today we’re going to find out about some of the Louvre’s most amazing treasures. Here we go!
Now, at the top of these stone stairs, get a load of that! That huge sculpture you can see is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace! I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this is! It looks like she has just flown down out of the sky and is standing on a ship. Her head and arms are missing, but you can imagine her holding her arms up high, celebrating the result of an ancient battle. And just look at how her dress is being folded by the wind! I really can’t believe she’s made of stone. The skill of the sculptor is just incredible.
Okay, I’d better move on. You can see there are so many people here. I’m being pushed around quite a bit, in fact. And you’re really going to love what’s coming up next. It’s the one and only Mona Lisa! The painting is a lot smaller than you would expect, and is protected by glass. But from here I can get a good view to show you. When I look into her eyes it seems she has a mind of her own! One moment she seems to be laughing at me, but then again I catch a sense of sadness in her smile. I guess that’s why she attracts so many visitors every day.
And now, it’s time to get up close and personal with one of history’s greatest artists — Rembrandt! He painted this self-portrait about 400 years ago. Throughout his life, he made over 90 self-portraits! No one really knows why. Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th-century selfie? Or was it simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model?
About 35,000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything! I’ll say bye for now, and hope you can all visit this fantastic place one day to feel the power of these great works of art for yourselves. They really do reach out to us across the centuries as if time itself were nothing. By the way, if you have enjoyed this live broadcast, subscribe to find out where I’m visiting next!
12. What can we learn from Zack’s description of the Winged Victory of Samothrace?
A. The sculpture was vividly carved.
B. It was made by a famous painter.
C. The artist had lost her arms.
D. The sculptor broke the sculpture’s arms.
13. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. Mona Lisa looks quite beautiful.
B. Mona Lisa often smiles at visitors.
C. The room is crowded with visitors.
D. Mona Lisa is kept at the top of the stairs.
14. Which can exactly explain why Rembrandt painted so many self-portraits?
A. He loved his appearance so much.
B. He wanted to take a selfie of himself.
C. He found it cheaper to draw himself.
D. He made the reason unknown to us.
15. What do we know about the Louvre from the last paragraph?
A. The Louvre is very large in size.
B. Many artists live in the museum.
C. The visitors are unwilling to leave.
D. More visitors will come to the Louvre.

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。
Mary and her little son Andy lived alone and led a hard life. They didn’t have much, but there was always food on the table-for Andy, at least.
To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn’t give up. Each day when she finally got home, she’d bring Andy home from a kind neighbor, who attended to her boy for hours daily.
Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about getting late for work. She had a long day ahead, but she didn’t even make it to her house’s front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At the time, Andy was preparing to go to school.
Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head hit the sofa’s edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital.
Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy’s hand on her shoulder. The doctor brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn’t help crying. “What am I going to do now?” she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears in eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom!” And it saddened them both again because Mary could barely hear Andy’s words.
The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device. “Who has that kind of money?” Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless.
But Andy wasn’t. “Mom has taken good care of me for years. It’s high time that I did something to try to repay her,” Andy thought. He was determined to take a part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance was very good, he decided to work as a tutor for grade kids.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
First, he made advertisements.

The Well That Changed the World
As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. He looked across the classroom at the drinking fountain. It was very close — only ten steps away. So, Ryan asked himself, “Why do some African children have to walk ten kilometers to get water every day? And why is the water so dirty that it makes them sick?” Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me, but hard for those people. Why don’t I help?”
At first, his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbors. He soon reached his first target of $70, but when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well. Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump. Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children. What they needed was a well dug near their homes.
Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbors and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school no longer needed to walk for hours to get water. They were grateful to him and invited him to visit.
In Uganda, Ryan at last saw the finished well with his own eyes. But that was not all. He also saw hundreds of delighted students who had turned out to welcome him. They sang and danced happily. Some even offered him food and gifts. At first Ryan was nervous, but soon a great warmth filled him. He really had made a difference for these children. He broke into a joyful smile.
Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
Now, as an adult, Ryan says that the question to ask is not “Why don’t I help?”, but “How can I help today?”. This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream a reality.
4. What inspired the Canadian boy to help?
A. The dirty water he found in Uganda.
B. What he learned from his teacher.
C. The drinking fountain in his school.
D. The ten-kilometer distance to the source of water.
5. What did Ryan plan to do at first?
A. To set up a foundation.
B. To help buy a hand pump.
C. To donate some money to a charity.
D. To help build a well somewhere in Africa.
6. Which of the following can best describe Ryan?
A. Helpful and determined. B. Joyful and warm-hearted.
C. Hard-working and grateful. D. Delighted and generous.
7. What’s the influence of Ryan’s foundation?
A. A well was built in Uganda.
B. Over 800,000 wells have been built.
C. All the Africans can drink clean water now.
D. Over 800,000 people in Africa have had clean water.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D

【导语】本文讲述了加拿大男孩瑞恩从六岁时偶然了解到非洲缺水的困境开始,一步步攒钱、募款为非洲修建水井,后来成立基金会持续帮助非洲民众获得清洁水源的真实故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, Ryan had trouble believing the words spoken by his teacher that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water.(作为一名六岁的加拿大男学生,瑞恩难以相信老师说的话——非洲发展中国家的很多人无法获取充足的干净水)”可知,正是瑞恩从老师那里了解到非洲缺水的情况,才让他受到启发决定提供帮助。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“At first, his plan was to earn money to build a single well somewhere in Africa.(起初,他的计划是赚钱为非洲某个地方修建一口水井)”可知,瑞恩最初的计划就是帮助非洲某个地方修建一口水井。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Young Ryan thought, “Life is easy for me, but hard for those people. Why don’t I help?”(年幼的瑞恩心想:“我的生活过得轻松,而那些人的生活却很艰难。我为何不去帮忙呢?”)”、第三段中“Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbors and persuaded them to donate money.(两千美元是一大笔钱,但瑞恩没有放弃。他决心帮助其他孩子喝上干净的水。他开始向同学和邻居求助,并说服他们捐款)”和第五段中“Later, Ryan’s experience led him to set up a foundation to encourage more people to help.(后来,瑞恩的经历促使他成立了一个基金会,鼓励更多的人提供帮助)”并结合全文可知,瑞恩主动想要为非洲儿童解决缺水问题,攒钱募款帮助修建水井,后续成立基金会帮助更多人,可见他十分乐于助人;面对建井实际需要2000美元远高于最初目标的困境,瑞恩没有放弃,坚持募集资金完成目标,可见他十分坚定。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.(如今,非洲16个国家的超过80万民众都受益于这份改变生活的礼物——清洁安全的饮用水)”可知,瑞恩的基金会让非洲超过80万人获得了干净水源。
C
Dear Agony Aunt,
I’m in a total mess here-hope you can help me out!
I’m 17, and a member of our school basketball team. I’m crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match. We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasn’t even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend. I was just letting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I’d said.
This is so totally awkward. I’m really angry with my friend. What should I say to him? And should I say anything at all to my teammate?
Embarrassed and ashamed, I can’t concentrate on anything. Please help!
Dear Ben,
There is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble.
The situation here is so much worse because the “loose lips” were your best friend’s. Treated this way, you’re sure to feel hurt — we should always be able to trust those closest to us, and it hurts even more when we find we can’t.
But I have to say that it’s partly your fault isn’t it? You admit that you were “letting off steam”. It is understandable in that situation, but we should always think before we speak.
Here’s what you need to do. First, apologize to your teammate. If you ever want to win any more basketball games (and I’m sure you do!), you need to work together, and that means communicating with each other clearly and resolving conflicts. So have a chat with your teammate. Tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.
Then, talk to your friend. Friendship should be one of the greatest things in the world, but sometimes it can be difficult. Again, your strategy is clear communication. Tell your friend you’re angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on. Approached in this way, your friendship will soon be repaired.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, think about your own behaviour. Don’t say too much when you’re angry! Filled with anger, you tend to say whatever comes to your mind. This gives people the wrong signal. Take a deep breath, calm down, and always remember: think first, speak later. If you feel one of your teammates isn’t pulling their weight, then raise your concerns in a professional way with your team coach.
If you think about other people’s feelings as well as your own, you’ll soon find everything works out.
8. Why did Ben’s team lose the match?
A. The opponents were too strong. B. The point guard performed badly.
C. Ben didn’t play well in the match. D. The team were not united.
9. What put Ben in an awkward situation?
A. His letting off steam.
B. His team’s losing the match.
C. His not concentrating on studying.
D. His best friend’s telling what he said to others.
10. Which example shows the saying “Loose lips sink ships”?
A. An old man often helps those in trouble.
B. What you say may cause a terrible result.
C. People admire Tom for his brave behaviour.
D. A young man talks to others in a polite manner.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to deal with conflicts between teammates
B. Agony Aunt explaining the causes of problems.
C. Agony Aunt helping Ben to resolve some problems.
D. “Loose lips sink ships” meaning causing all kinds of trouble.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一封信的第二段“We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasn’t even on the court! (我们打得很好,但我觉得我们队被一名队员,也就是我们的控球后卫,辜负了。控球后卫是核心队员,但他那天就好像根本不在场上一样!)”可知,Ben认为球队输掉比赛是因为控球后卫表现糟糕。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一封信的第二段“I was just letting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I’d said. (我真的只是发泄一下情绪,因为我太生气了,但之后我的朋友跑去把我说的话告诉了所有人。)”和第三段“This is so totally awkward. I’m really angry with my friend. (这太尴尬了。我真的很生我朋友的气。)”可知,让Ben陷入尴尬境地的是他最好的朋友把他说的话告诉了其他所有人。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二封信的第一段“There is an old American saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” This means that if you speak too much about something, especially to people who you don’t know so well, it’ll cause all kinds of trouble. (美国有句老话说“祸从口出”,意思是如果你对某件事说得太多,尤其是对那些你不太熟悉的人,会招来各种各样的麻烦。)”可知,“Loose lips sink ships”的含义就是你说的话可能会造成糟糕的后果,对应B选项“你说的话可能造成严重后果”。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文内容可知,Ben写信向知心阿姨讲述自己遇到的麻烦、寻求帮助,然后知心阿姨回信,针对Ben的问题给出一步步的解决建议,由此可知文章主要内容是知心阿姨帮助Ben解决他遇到的几个问题。

Live from the Louvre
Hi, it’s Zack! Greetings from Paris, everyone! This broadcast is being brought to you from one of the largest museums on Earth — the Louvre! Today we’re going to find out about some of the Louvre’s most amazing treasures. Here we go!
Now, at the top of these stone stairs, get a load of that! That huge sculpture you can see is the Winged Victory of Samothrace, or Nike of Samothrace! I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing this is! It looks like she has just flown down out of the sky and is standing on a ship. Her head and arms are missing, but you can imagine her holding her arms up high, celebrating the result of an ancient battle. And just look at how her dress is being folded by the wind! I really can’t believe she’s made of stone. The skill of the sculptor is just incredible.
Okay, I’d better move on. You can see there are so many people here. I’m being pushed around quite a bit, in fact. And you’re really going to love what’s coming up next. It’s the one and only Mona Lisa! The painting is a lot smaller than you would expect, and is protected by glass. But from here I can get a good view to show you. When I look into her eyes it seems she has a mind of her own! One moment she seems to be laughing at me, but then again I catch a sense of sadness in her smile. I guess that’s why she attracts so many visitors every day.
And now, it’s time to get up close and personal with one of history’s greatest artists — Rembrandt! He painted this self-portrait about 400 years ago. Throughout his life, he made over 90 self-portraits! No one really knows why. Perhaps it was his way of taking a 17th-century selfie? Or was it simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model?
About 35,000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything! I’ll say bye for now, and hope you can all visit this fantastic place one day to feel the power of these great works of art for yourselves. They really do reach out to us across the centuries as if time itself were nothing. By the way, if you have enjoyed this live broadcast, subscribe to find out where I’m visiting next!
12. What can we learn from Zack’s description of the Winged Victory of Samothrace?
A. The sculpture was vividly carved.
B. It was made by a famous painter.
C. The artist had lost her arms.
D. The sculptor broke the sculpture’s arms.
13. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. Mona Lisa looks quite beautiful.
B. Mona Lisa often smiles at visitors.
C. The room is crowded with visitors.
D. Mona Lisa is kept at the top of the stairs.
14. Which can exactly explain why Rembrandt painted so many self-portraits?
A. He loved his appearance so much.
B. He wanted to take a selfie of himself.
C. He found it cheaper to draw himself.
D. He made the reason unknown to us.
15. What do we know about the Louvre from the last paragraph?
A. The Louvre is very large in size.
B. Many artists live in the museum.
C. The visitors are unwilling to leave.
D. More visitors will come to the Louvre.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的描述“Her head and arms are missing, but you can imagine her holding her arms up high, celebrating the result of an ancient battle. And just look at how her dress is being folded by the wind! I really can’t believe she’s made of stone. The skill of the sculptor is just incredible.(她的头部和手臂都缺失了,但你仍能想象她高举手臂,庆祝一场古代战役胜利的模样。再看看她的衣料被风吹出褶皱的形态!我简直不敢相信她是用石头雕刻而成的,雕刻家的技艺太不可思议了。)”可推知,《萨莫色雷斯的胜利女神》雕刻得十分生动传神。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“You can see there are so many people here. I’m being pushed around quite a bit, in fact.(你能看到这里人非常多,事实上我一直被人群推来挤去。)”可推知,《蒙娜丽莎》所在的展厅挤满了游客。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“And now, it’s time to get up close and personal with one of history’s greatest artists — Rembrandt! Throughout his life, he made over 90 self-portraits! No one really knows why.(现在,是时候近距离接触历史上最伟大的艺术家之一——伦勃朗了!他一生创作了超过90幅自画像,没有人知道真正的原因。)”可知,伦勃朗创作大量自画像的原因至今不为人知。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段中“About 35,000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything!(卢浮宫的300多个展厅中展出了大约35000件艺术品,要看完所有藏品得花一辈子的时间。)”可推知,卢浮宫规模非常大,藏品极多。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了面对压力的一些措施。
【16题详解】
根据上文“In today's increasingly competitive society, people are loaded with a growing amount of stress. Stress can affect how you feel, think, and behave. (在当今竞争日益激烈的社会,人们承受着越来越多的压力。压力可以影响你的感觉、思考和行为)”以及后文“It's worth taking the time to learn different strategies for managing your stress.(值得花时间学习不同的压力管理策略)”可知,上文提到压力对人各方面的影响,后文则说值得花时间学习压力管理策略,可知本句应承接上文继续说明压力对人的影响,F选项中It指代上文Stress。故F选项“它也会影响你的身体功能”符合语境,故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文“●Identify the cause. If you are having problems with tense muscles, overtiredness headaches, it is quite possibly stress-related. Is it your job, relationship or something else? Problems can be divided into three categories: those with a practical solution, those will get better with time and those outside your control. (●确定原因。如果你有肌肉紧张、过度疲劳头痛的问题,那很可能是与压力有关的。是你的工作,感情还是别的什么? 问题可以分为三类:那些有实际解决方案的问题,那些会随着时间变得更好的问题,以及那些你无法控制的问题)”可知,本段的主旨是确定压力产生的原因,且上文提到了三类问题,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文说明如何处理这些问题:专注于第一种,忽略其他。故G选项“专注于第一种,忽略其他”符合语境,故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“●Move your body. Exercise won't cure your stress, but it can help to clean your head. Try something new: yoga may be calming, but there's nothing more thrilling than hitting a punchbag. Don't worsen the stress by drinking and smoking. (●锻炼身体。运动不能治愈你的压力,但它可以帮助清理你的头脑。尝试一些新的东西:瑜伽可能让人平静,但没有什么比打沙袋更让人兴奋的了。不要因为抽烟喝酒而加重压力)”可知,上文提到不要因为抽烟喝酒而加重压力,故本句承接上文说明原因:这些不是解决方案。C选项中These指代上文drinking and smoking。故C选项“这些不是解决方案”符合语境,故选C。
【19题详解】
根据后文“If you are the kind of person who is open to advice complain to a friend about your stress. Friends can work as a support group, and they may provide you with solutions. Sometimes, you can't see the easy way out of situation when you are standing right in the middle of it. (如果你是那种愿意听取建议的人,那就向朋友抱怨你的压力。 朋友可以作为一个支持团体,他们可能会为你提供解决方案。 有时候,当你站在困境的正中间时,你看不到摆脱困境的简单方法)”可知,后文提到通过向朋友倾诉自己的压力来缓解压力,即通过交谈来缓解压力,故A选项“好好谈一谈”符合语境,故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“●Make a list. Having too much to do may cause you to rush around because, if you are moving faster, it feels as if you are getting more done. (●列一个列表。有太多事情要做可能会让你东奔西跑,因为如果你走得更快,就会感觉你完成的事情更多)”以及后文“Make a to-do list. Do the big, important things last, after you have achieved several of the small things. That way, you will approach the big things already feeling good.(列一个待办事项清单。在你完成了一些小事情之后,再去做那些大的、重要的事情。这样,你就会以良好的感觉去处理大事)”可知,上文提到“你走得更快,就会感觉你完成的事情更多”这一观念,后文则提出要列一个待办事项清单,建议在完成了一些小事情之后,再去做那些大的、重要的事情,可见本句与上文构成转折,说明上文提到的观点是错误的,故E选项“但这是一个错误的印象”符合语境,故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了唐代画马名家韩干的学画经历。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:有一次,他被派去向唐代著名诗人王维讨债。send作本句谓语,和主语he之间是被动关系,结合时间状语Tang Dynasty,句子用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,be动词使用was。故填was sent。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:有一次,他被派去向唐代著名诗人王维讨债。此处是固定搭配:in the Tang Dynasty意为“在唐代”。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:王维被他的绘画天赋所震惊,决定资助韩干学习绘画,并将他推荐给一位大师。本句已有谓语动词decided,所以amaze用非谓语形式,根据空后的by可知,用过去分词形式表被动,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Amazed。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意:王维被他的绘画天赋所震惊,决定资助韩干学习绘画,并将他推荐给一位大师。空前是动词,所以空处应用代词宾格形式him作宾语。故填him。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:韩干花了很多时间画马,因为皇帝非常喜欢马。此处是固定搭配:be fond of意为“喜欢”。故填of。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:为了画好马,韩干仔细观察。空处修饰空前的动词observed,用副词carefully作状语。故填carefully。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他甚至搬到马厩工人那里住了很长一段时间,观察马匹,这给了艺术家很多灵感。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前句提到的事,关系词在从句中作主语,用which引导。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:他甚至搬到马厩工人那里住了很长一段时间,观察马匹,这给了艺术家很多灵感。空前是介词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,inspire的名词形式是inspiration意为“灵感”,为不可数名词。故填inspiration。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:最后,韩干能把马画得惟妙惟肖了。空前是动词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,horse意为“马”,为可数名词,根据句意,此处用复数形式表示泛指。故填horses。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:著名诗人苏轼对韩干表示钦佩,说韩干的马是真马。本句已有谓语动词expressed,所以say用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语Su Shi之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式作状语。故填saying。

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。
Mary and her little son Andy lived alone and led a hard life. They didn’t have much, but there was always food on the table-for Andy, at least.
To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn’t give up. Each day when she finally got home, she’d bring Andy home from a kind neighbor, who attended to her boy for hours daily.
Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about getting late for work. She had a long day ahead, but she didn’t even make it to her house’s front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At the time, Andy was preparing to go to school.
Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head hit the sofa’s edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital.
Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy’s hand on her shoulder. The doctor brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn’t help crying. “What am I going to do now?” she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears in eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom!” And it saddened them both again because Mary could barely hear Andy’s words.
The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device. “Who has that kind of money?” Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless.
But Andy wasn’t. “Mom has taken good care of me for years. It’s high time that I did something to try to repay her,” Andy thought. He was determined to take a part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance was very good, he decided to work as a tutor for grade kids.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
First, he made advertisements.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly, Andy put the hearing aid in her ear.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】续写范文:
First, he made advertisements. Then, he put them up in the neighborhood. Attracted, some parents invited him home. After an interview, they were content with Andy’s teaching ability and hired him. Thus, Andy’s schedule became so tight that he often didn’t get home until dinnertime. Andy kept it a secret from his mom. Finally, he was amazed he earned enough money. He immediately bought a hearing aid for his mother and studied the instructions.
One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly. Andy put the hearing aid in her ear. Mary awakened to the sounds of birds’ singing and car horns. “Morning, Mom,” Andy said. Mary turned, finding Andy was sitting nearby, smiling. “Is there a hearing aid?” she asked in disbelief. Andy nodded and asked, “How does it feel?” Mary replied that it was incredible, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She was relieved that her son loved her so much.
