However, stepping into the learning zone can help to bring out the best in us. Here are the reasons. •Challenging yourself can help you be at your best Stepping outside one’s comfort zone is important for personal development. How can we expect to make ourselves better if we only stick to the routine? We should try something we might not succeed in. •Taking risks is what helps us grow As children, we’re natural risk-takers. But as we get older and learn to fear failure, we start trying fewer new things. We pay a heavy price for our fear of failure. There is no learning without any difficulties. •Facing new challenges can help us grow better Our comfort zone seems to become smaller as we get older—but if we can keep expanding it, we’ll open ourselves up to a greater world as we grow. As we step into the learning zone, we will get more comfortable with the skills gradually and we’ll start to move into the comfort zone. A study found that learning new life skills can help our brain stay sharp as we get older. However, don’t push yourself too far. Have you heard of “Yerkes-Dodson Law”? It means performance increases as stress grows, but only up to a point. If the level of stress becomes too high, performance will go down. When stress becomes too great for us to deal with, we enter the danger zone. 26. What is a comfort zone? A. A place with high stress. B. A situation with the least stress. C. A learning environment.

Which of the following picture can describe “Yerkes-Dodson Law”? A. B. C. D. 30. What’s the best title for this passage? A. A comfort zone makes us safe B. What is a comfort zone? C. Step outside a comfort zone D.

Volunteers help people who really need help. There are many places where you can see different volunteers. At school gates, students can see some volunteers with red vests (马甲). They are parent volunteers. In order to become professional traffic volunteers, parents should learn how to give directions to students and stop them from playing soccer on the road. When students go across the street, parent volunteers put up a “SLOW” sign to let drivers slow down. Because of these volunteers, students can get to school and go back home safely. Another group of “red vests” show up on main roads. They help cleaners pick up dirty paper, plastic bags, glass bottles and so on. They ask the passers-by (路人) not to throw the rubbish everywhere. Although their work seems simple, they still take it seriously. Some teenagers spend their free time in hospitals or old people’s homes. They cheer sick kids up or look after old people at weekends. In the countryside, some college students play an important role in volunteering. They can provide science and technology help for farmers. Some volunteers work as teachers in village schools. A lot of volunteers show their kindness by helping others. They can make a difference to people in need and the society. 46.

It means performance increases as stress grows, but only up to a point. If the level of stress becomes too high, performance will go down. When stress becomes too great for us to deal with, we enter the danger zone.”，直接解释了耶克斯-多德森定律：随着压力增加，表现水平会随之提升，但仅在一定限度内。倘若压力水平过高，表现就会下滑。当压力大到我们难以承受时，我们就进入了危险区间，A选项贴切解释了该定律。 【30题详解】 文章核心观点是走出舒适区进入学习区能发掘自身潜能、助力成长，C项“Step outside a comfort zone”是最适合做标题。 C 配对阅读。左栏是对五个人想了解的外国文化或习俗的描述，右栏是对不同国家文化或习俗的介绍，请为每一个人选择最适合的一项，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 ____31____ Tom is driving a car with his friends in America for the first time.

Maybe 42. nothing 43. enjoyable 44. watched 45. culture 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，旨在向读者（特别是对外国读者或英语学习者）普及和弘扬中国京剧文化的短文。 【36题详解】 句意：拥有约200年的历史，它源于几种戏剧形式，主要源自地方戏“徽班”。空格后是复数名词“drama forms”，且空前有a，“a few”是固定搭配，意为“一些、几个”，用来修饰可数名词复数。 【37题详解】 句意：它现在似乎在世界各地都很受欢迎。句子主语是“It”（指代京剧），后面紧跟形容词“popular”（受欢迎的），缺少系动词连接主语和表语，seem（似乎/看起来）是系动词，因为主语是第三人称单数，且时间状语是“now”，所以要用一般现在时的单三形式seems。 【38题详解】 句意：然而，京剧同时具备这三个部分：念白、唱腔和身段。空格位于句首，且后面有逗号隔开，通常填副词，前一句说外国戏剧中演员不同时唱念做打，后一句说京剧同时具备这三部分，前后为转折关系，however（然而）符合语境，因位于句首，首字母要大写，故填However。 【39题详解】 句意：它们彼此与对方不同。根据空前的“are different”可知，是“be different from...”是固定用法，意为“与……不同”，故from符合。 【40题详解】 句意：它成为了中国传统艺术形式中最著名的象征之一，许多外国人对此产生了兴趣。空格位于“one of the most”之后，名词“symbols”之前，需填形容词构成最高级“one of the most+adj.+n.”结构，根据前一句京剧传播到很多地方及后半句很多外国人喜欢京剧可知，京剧很著名，故famous符合。 【41题详解】 句意：也许起初你会感到一点无聊。后文说“但是坚持看下去，你会爱上它”，暗示前面是一种假设的、不太好的初始感觉（无聊），maybe符合语境，位于句首，首字母大写。 【42题详解】 句意：但坚持看下去，即使你对戏剧背景一无所知，你也会爱上它。even if 引导让步状语从句，即使你完全不懂背景知识也能爱上它，nothing（没有什么/一无所知）符合句意，即“know nothing about”（对……一无所知），故填nothing。 【43题详解】 句意：听京剧真是一件令人愉快的事情。空格位于冠词“an”和名词“thing”之间，需填入以元音音素开头的形容词， 前文提到“fall in love with it”（爱上它），说明听京剧是一件好事，enjoy（享受）符合语境，故填其形容词形式enjoyable（令人愉快的/可享受的）符合语法。 【44题详解】 句意：这是一位美国游客在剧院第一次观看京剧后所说的话。主语he后缺谓语动词。根据主句“This is what one American traveler said”可知，动作发生在过去，所以要用一般过去时，根据“Beijing Opera”可知，此处指观看京剧，所以watched符合。 【45题详解】 句意：京剧是中国的国剧，它充满了中国文化。空格位于介词“of”和形容词“Chinese”之后，需填入名词，京剧是国粹，充满了中国元素，故culture符合。 五、读写综合（本大题分为A、B两部分，共25分） A. 回答问题 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整，并把答案写在答题卡指定的位置。 Volunteering means that someone works to help without being paid. Volunteers help people who really need help. There are many places where you can see different volunteers. At school gates, students can see some volunteers with red vests (马甲). They are parent volunteers. In order to become professional traffic volunteers, parents should learn how to give directions to students and stop them from playing soccer on the road. When students go across the street, parent volunteers put up a “SLOW” sign to let drivers slow down. Because of these volunteers, students can get to school and go back home safely. Another group of “red vests” show up on main roads. They help cleaners pick up dirty paper, plastic bags, glass bottles and so on. They ask the passers-by (路人) not to throw the rubbish everywhere. Although their work seems simple, they still take it seriously. Some teenagers spend their free time in hospitals or old people’s homes. They cheer sick kids up or look after old people at weekends. In the countryside, some college students play an important role in volunteering. They can provide science and technology help for farmers. Some volunteers work as teachers in village schools. A lot of volunteers show their kindness by helping others. They can make a difference to people in need and the society. 46.
