In a history textbook. B ①Life sometimes can be so difficult for us. You may feel the whole world is against you. However, a good change in mind or actions may turn your life around. ②Many times, when you are feeling down, ideas can be running around your head. You may miss out on some of your brighter ideas. To stop this, you should write down your goals. This will make them clearer in your mind and give you something to stick to (坚持). Writing it down will help you think about how you can achieve it. It will make you feel much better after you mark it in your list. ③Short-term joy such as junk food or computer games is not true happiness. You’d better cut out a lot of negative things in your life. You can start a new hobby like exercising. It can improve your body as well as feelings. Doing things like that will help you become a better man. You can even see your progress in the mirror. ④If you still can’t change by yourself, there is no shame in finding help from someone. By reaching out, you are already making a great step. It doesn’t even have to be a professional (专业人士). Sometimes just go to your friends and family and tell them what your trouble is. It helps a lot. ⑤It is not easy to make a change and maybe not everyone needs to do it. What works for one person may not work for somebody else. You need to find what helps you out and then stick to it. If you can find out the goals and develop some good habits, your life will slowly but surely turn around. 21. How can you stop ideas running around the head? A. By doing exercises. B. By starting a new hobby. C. By writing down the goals. D. By finding some bright ideas. 22.

How to Set a Clear Goal C. How to Find Help When in Trouble D. How to Exercise to Change Your Life C Have you always thought that kids are smarter than adults? You’d be right—at least when it comes to learning new things. New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stay in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a professor (教授) at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances (机会) as possible to develop new skills, from learning the times table to riding a bike. Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 26. What makes children learn new skills and knowledge faster than adults? A. They spend more time learning. B. GABA in their brain helps new learning stay in memory. C. They get more learning chances. D. They are more interested in learning 27. Which shows the changes of GABA levels when learning new things? A. B. C. D. 28. What is the common opinion mentioned by Dr Frank? A. Children and adults have the same learning abilities. B. Children have stronger learning abilities than adults. C. Adults’ learning abilities depend on children’s. D. Adults need to follow how children learn. 29. What did the researchers suggest teachers and parents do? A. Help adults learn new skills like riding a bike. B. Give children more chances to develop new skills. C. Use a new technology to increase GABA in children’s brains. D. Teach children to develop a new therapy for adults. 30. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To explain why children learn faster than adults. B. To show how researchers found GABA in the brain. C. To introduce the suggestions and possible uses of the research findings. D. To compare the learning abilities of children and adults. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从文后所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯（选项中有一项多余）。 When you step into a new environment, you must have a strong wish to fit in.

How to Set a Clear Goal C. How to Find Help When in Trouble D. How to Exercise to Change Your Life 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 24. A 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章围绕“如何扭转生活”展开，从写下目标、剔除消极事物、寻求帮助等方面提出可行建议，告诉读者找到适合自己的方法并坚持，生活就会慢慢好转。 【21题详解】 根据第②段“when you are feeling down, ideas can be running around your head... To stop this, you should write down your goals”可知，写下目标可以停止脑中纷乱的想法。 【22题详解】 根据第③段“Short-term joy such as junk food or computer games is not true happiness. You’d better cut out a lot of negative things in your life.”可知，垃圾食品、电子游戏这类短暂的快乐并非真正的幸福，最好摒弃生活中诸多消极有害的事物；据此可以推断，划线单词“negative”意为“有害的、消极的”。 【23题详解】 根据第④段“If you still can’t change by yourself, there is no shame in finding help from someone.”可知，无法靠自己做出改变时，可以向别人寻求帮助。 【24题详解】 综合全文可知，第①段总起，提出改变心态或行为能扭转生活；第②③④段分别从三个方面介绍改变自我的具体办法；第⑤段总结，说明改变虽不易，但找到适合自己的方法坚持就能转变生活，属于“总—分—总”结构，选项A结构图符合题意。 【25题详解】 全文通篇介绍多种扭转生活的方法，核心主题是如何改变糟糕的生活；选项A“How to Turn Your Life Around”概括了全文主旨，适合作为文章的标题。 C Have you always thought that kids are smarter than adults?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了儿童学习知识和技能等新事物的速度比成年人快，这是因为我们大脑中的GABA。 【26题详解】 根据第二段“New research shows…It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stay in the brain.”可知，孩子大脑中的GABA有助于将新学内容保存在记忆中，使得他们比成年人学习新技能和知识更快。 【27题详解】 根据第二段“GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age…GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change…”可知，小学学龄儿童在学习新任务或新信息时，大脑中的GABA水平会迅速上升。然而，18至35岁的成年人大脑中的GABA水平在学习新任务和新信息期间或之后不会发生变化。A选项的图片正确展示了儿童和成人在学习新事物时GABA水平的变化情况。 【28题详解】 根据第四段“…their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities.”可知，Dr Frank提到的普遍观点是孩子比成年人有更强的学习能力。 【29题详解】 根据最后一段“The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills”可知，研究人员建议教师和家长‌给孩子更多发展新技能的机会。 【30题详解】 最后一段主要介绍了研究人员的建议并举例说明这些研究成果可以应用于哪些地方。所以最后一段的目的是“介绍一些建议和研究结果可能的应用之处”。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从文后所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯（选项中有一项多余）。 When you step into a new environment, you must have a strong wish to fit in.

Relationships can only be ____44____ through communication. Just remember, if you get into a ____45____ like Sophie’s, tell your parents how you feel. 【答案】36. dealing 37. Since 38. other 39. things 40. writing 41. politely 42. example 43. angry 44. improved 45. situation 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕亲子相处展开，点明和孩子相处本就不易，和父母相处更难，核心强调沟通是维系良好亲子关系的关键，还通过Sophie晚归后靠沟通化解矛盾的事例佐证了这一观点。 【36题详解】 句意：如今，与孩子生活和相处可能是一项艰巨的工作，但与父母生活和相处则更加困难。此处需要一个动词，在句中表示“处理；应对”。根据后文“but living and dealing with parents…（但是与父母生活和相处……）”可知，“与父母生活和相处”和“与孩子生活和相处”形成对比。方框中的deal，可以与空格后的with构成固定搭配deal with，意为“处理；应对”，符合语境。又因and连接两个并列的主语，living为动名词形式作主语，因此空格处也应该使用动名词形式，deal的动名词形式为dealing。 【37题详解】 句意：从青少年时期起，我就明白沟通非常重要，无论是在意见不一致的时候，还是在相处融洽的时候。此处需要一个连词，在句中连接两个句子，表示时间关系。根据“I was a teenager（我十几岁时）”以及“I have learnt that…（我已经了解到……）”，可知这里是在讲述从过去某个时间点开始到现在的情况，时态为现在完成时。方框中的since作为连词有“自从”的意思，引导时间状语从句，符合语境。since位于句首，首字母需大写，即Since。 【38题详解】 句意：在任何关系中，你都需要让其他人知道你的感受。此处需要一个形容词或定冠词等限定词来修饰people。在句中表示“其他的人”。根据“let…people know your feelings”可推断，这里说的是让“其他人”知道你的感受，other表示“其他的”，other people表示“其他人”，符合语义。 【39题详解】 句意：如果你无法沟通，事情就会变得糟糕。此处需要一个名词作主语，在句中表示“一些事”。上文一直在强调沟通的重要性，这里说不能沟通，那么“一些事”就会变糟糕。thing表示“事物”，符合语境，此处泛指很多事情，不止一件，所以要用复数形式。thing的复数形式为things。 【40题详解】 句意：让人们知道你的感受，哪怕只是写一张纸条。此处需要一个动名词，因为by为介词，后接动词-ing形式，表示“通过……的方式”。根据“a note”可推断，此处是指写一张便条，所以选择write“写”，write a note表示“写便条”。by后接write的动名词形式writing，故填writing。 【41题详解】 句意：如果你想让他们看到你所看到的东西，就告诉他们你会倾听他们的意见，但请礼貌地请求他们先听你说。此处需要一个副词，在句中修饰动词ask，表示方式。根据“tell them that you’ll listen to what they say, but ask them…to listen to you”可知，应该是礼貌地请求他们先听你说，方框中的politely表示“礼貌地”，是副词，符合语境。 【42题详解】 句意：这是一个示例。此处需要一个单数名词，在句中作表语。下文讲述的是Sophie的例子，所以这里说的是“这是一个例子”，方框中的example是“例子”的意思，符合语境。 【43题详解】 句意：起初，她的父母很生气，但当索菲解释了她迟到的原因后，他们就没那么生气了。此处需要一个形容词，在句中作表语，描述主语Her parents的状态。根据“she was late getting home（她回家晚了）”，可知父母一开始会生气，方框中的angry是“生气的”意思，是形容词，符合语境。 【44题详解】 句意：关系只能通过沟通来改善。此处需要一个过去分词，与be构成被动语态，表示“关系只能被……”。根据“Communication is the key factor there（沟通是关键因素）”，可知关系只能通过沟通被改善，方框中的improve是“改善”的意思，其过去分词improved与be构成被动语态，符合语境。填improved。 【45题详解】 句意：记住，如果你遇到像索菲那样的情况，一定要告诉父母你的真实感受。此处需要一个单数名词，在句中表示“如果你陷入像Sophie那样的……”。上文讲述的是Sophie遇到的情况，这里说陷入类似的情况，方框中的situation是“情况；状况”的意思，get into a situation表示“陷入一种情况”，符合语境。 四、读写结合（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 任务型阅读（共5小题，满分10分） 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。（注意每小题的词数要求） Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art.
