二、阅读理解
A French ski resort (度假区), Alpe du Grand Serre (AGS), is set to close permanently due to the decreasing snowfalls and a lack of funds to transform it into a year-round attraction. The decision was made by the local council (理事会), which voted to stop funding for the resort’s transformation plans. The resort, located in the Isère region, is one of several lower-lying ski destinations in Europe facing an existing danger, driven by humans burning fossil fuels.
Faced with decreasing snowfalls, the town had championed a plan, AGS 2050, which had aimed to replace ski lifts and improve the station for both summer and winter sports. But with unreliable winter snowfall, completing the project became too risky. Over 2.8 million euros have been invested since 2017, but the council president said the impact of committing two more years without a clear future was too great.
The closure of the resort will be devastating for the local economy, with nearly 200 jobs dependent on it. Marie Battistel, an officer of the region, warned that the closure sends a danger signal on a national scale. “The state is not giving us any specific support for the future of the resort or for a transitional operation,” said Saurat, who had warned that the resort was facing a 7 million euros hole in its budget.
AGS's closure is just one example of the growing number of ski resorts struggling to deal with declining snowfalls. Other resorts, such as Grand Puy and La Sambuy, have also closed permanently or take apart their ski lifts. Snow expert Carlo Carmagnola estimates that 40% of ski resorts in the French Alps now depend on man-made snow to stay open, with higher percentages in Italy and Austria.
1. What’s part of the reason for AGS’s closure?
A. Weak tourism. B. Climate change. C. Geographic location. D. Bad management.
2. What can be learned about the AGS 2050 plan?
A. The reason for its failure is a shortage of fund.
B. It would take three more years to complete the plan.
C. The council president is quite confident of its future.
D. It had intended to update the equipment and building.
3. What does the underlined word “devastating” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Hopeless. B. Disastrous. C. Uncontrollable. D. Disappointing.
4. Which would be the best title for the text?
A. The Closure of a Large Ski Resort B. The Future of the French Ski Resorts
C. The Failure of the AGS Plan 2050 D. The Influence of Snowfall on ski resorts
Massive snowstorms and a blast of chilly air swept across northern China in the first week of November, leaving many people shivering(颤抖)in the freezing cold.
At the same time, a global conference on climate change-COP 26-was held in Glasgow, Scotland, where the key topic was how to curb(抑制)the trend of global warming. So why are we experiencing such a frigid(寒冷的)winter on a warming planet? The cold snap(寒潮)and global warming, two seemingly opposing forces, are not contradictory, Zhou Bing, chief expert at the China Meteorological Administration’s National Climate Center, told China Daily.
Against the backdrop of a warming planet, China has seen a growing average temperature in winter, which has increased by 0.41°C every decade since 1961, according to Zhou. But in some cases, the country has also experienced freezing cold-for instance, the icy weather that hit the country in early 2008. Global warming does not appear evenly, but triggers more extreme heat and cold, Zhou explained. Global warming has changed the patterns of Earth’s atmospheric circulation, affecting the local climate via sea-air or land-air interaction. In October, La Nina, the periodic(周期的)cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and east-central equatorial(赤道的)Pacific, started to affect China, bringing more cold air to the country, said the National Climate Center. Between 1951 and 2020, a total of 15 La Nina events occurred in China. Ten of them brought lower-than-average winter temperatures, according to the National Climate Center.
Another reason for the chilly weather is the warming Arctic, according to the BBC. The Arctic is warming two to three times as fast as any other place on Earth, said Zhou, adding that the polar vortex, a rotating(旋转的)pool of cold, dense air weakens as the temperature goes up, pushing the cold Arctic air southward. So will this winter be particularly cold? Unlike a series of cold waves that cool down the nation gradually, people will experience the quick-freeze effects several times, and a cold winter is likely, a Beijing-based climate expert told the Global Times.
The official forecast also said that northern China will see more snow than average and southern China less rainfall than average.
5. Why is global warming mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate its relationship with chilly air. B. To introduce the climate expert Zhou Bing.
C. To describe the weather condition in the world. D. To stress the importance of the conference-COP26.
6. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Prevent. B. Affect. C. Cause. D. Recover.
7. What’s the result of the fast warming of the Arctic?
A. Our country will be cooled down slowly. B. The south of our country will see more snow.
C. The whole world will become extremely warm. D. There will be sudden drops in air temperature in our country.
8. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A textbook. B. A news report. C. A review. D. A travel brochure.
Laughter comes in many forms, from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh. Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts (环境). The team behind the laughing robot Erica said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot. “We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy (共情),” said Dr Koji Inoue, the lead author of the research. “So we decided that one way a robot can empathize with its users is to share their laughter.”
The team have set out to teach their AI system the art of conversational laughter. They gathered training data from more than 80 daily dialogues between male subjects and the robot that was initially operated by four actresses remotely. The dialogue data was grouped into social laughs (where polite or embarrassed laughter isn’t involved) and laughter of joy. Based on the audio files, the robot learned the basic characteristics of social laughs, which tend to be softer, and merry laughs, with the aim of mirroring these inappropriate situations.
“Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know, most laughter is actually not shared at all,” said Inoue. “We had to carefully decide exactly which laughs we could use for our analysis and we couldn’t just assume (认为) that any laugh can be responded to. It was really not easy work.” The team said laughter could help create robots with their own distinct character although it could take more than 20 years before it would be possible to have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.
“One of the things we’d keep in mind is that a laughing robot will never be able to understand you or the meaning of laughter,” points out Prof. Sandra Wachter of the Oxford Internet Institute. “But with their development, they might get very good at tricking you into believing they understand what’s going on.”
9. Why did Inoue’s team develop the AI system?
A. To better understand human empathy.
B. To promote the social skills of robots.
C. To explore the differences between laughs.
D. To assist robots in identifying people’s moods.
10. What can robot Erica probably do at present?
A. Repeat the details of the 80 dialogues.
B. Distinguish people by hearing their laughs
C. Recreate a scene played by the four actresses.
D. Master the features of laughs provided by data.
11. The underlined word “obstructor” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by .
A. potential B. difficulty C. choice D. mistake
12. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Are AI systems going beyond human ability?
B. Can conversational AI really understand us?
C. Laughing robots are round the corner
D. Robots become laughing masters
In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
13. By “a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is _________.
A. an essential part of society with irreplaceable functions
B. expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C. an unimportant component of society, though functioning smoothly
D. responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
14. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that _________.
A. they are filled with an overwhelming fear of being unemployed
B. they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest
C. they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they lack a sense of independence and productivity
15. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “submissiveness”?
A. caution B. obedience C. commitment D. optimism
16. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce the production mode of our ancestors.
B. To show the problematic situation in society.
C. To argue for full development of human potentials.
D. To help people escape production and consumption.

One day, a father and his son were sitting together in a house. The father had become too old, suffering from amnesia (健忘症). The son was in his 50s. They just stayed by the window in silence.
Just then a crow (乌鸦) came down and sat on a branch. The father and the son could see the crow from where they sat. After a moment of silence, the father asked his son, “What is that?” The son, believing that his father could not see properly, answered, “It is a crow.” Again, they sat in silence, and then the father asked again, “What is that?” The son, almost losing his patience, replied again, “It is a crow, Dad.” After a moment, the father still asked his son, “What is that?” When his father asked the same question for the fourth time, the son lost his patience!
“Dad, how many times should I repeat it before you understand? Look at its black wings. It is a bird,” the son said loudly, trying to evoke (唤起) his father’s understanding of the crow’s image. Without saying anything, the father rose from his chair and left the room. Then the son heard some noises from his father's room. It seemed as if his father was looking for something.
After a while, the father came back. Holding an old but well-kept diary, he took his place. Suddenly, he said excitedly, “Here!” He showed his son the diary. It was a diary about the son!
Feeling curious, the son took the diary and read it out slowly, “Today I sat with my. three-year-old son. Together we sat on the sofa and looked outside. He repeatedly asked me about the crow that sat outside. Twenty times to be exact. It took him twenty times to understand that it was a crow. In the end, I told him that I loved all the questions he asked, and my little boy smiled happily.”

Massive snowstorms and a blast of chilly air swept across northern China in the first week of November, leaving many people shivering(颤抖)in the freezing cold.
At the same time, a global conference on climate change-COP 26-was held in Glasgow, Scotland, where the key topic was how to curb(抑制)the trend of global warming. So why are we experiencing such a frigid(寒冷的)winter on a warming planet? The cold snap(寒潮)and global warming, two seemingly opposing forces, are not contradictory, Zhou Bing, chief expert at the China Meteorological Administration’s National Climate Center, told China Daily.
Against the backdrop of a warming planet, China has seen a growing average temperature in winter, which has increased by 0.41°C every decade since 1961, according to Zhou. But in some cases, the country has also experienced freezing cold-for instance, the icy weather that hit the country in early 2008. Global warming does not appear evenly, but triggers more extreme heat and cold, Zhou explained. Global warming has changed the patterns of Earth’s atmospheric circulation, affecting the local climate via sea-air or land-air interaction. In October, La Nina, the periodic(周期的)cooling of ocean surface temperatures in the central and east-central equatorial(赤道的)Pacific, started to affect China, bringing more cold air to the country, said the National Climate Center. Between 1951 and 2020, a total of 15 La Nina events occurred in China. Ten of them brought lower-than-average winter temperatures, according to the National Climate Center.
Another reason for the chilly weather is the warming Arctic, according to the BBC. The Arctic is warming two to three times as fast as any other place on Earth, said Zhou, adding that the polar vortex, a rotating(旋转的)pool of cold, dense air weakens as the temperature goes up, pushing the cold Arctic air southward. So will this winter be particularly cold? Unlike a series of cold waves that cool down the nation gradually, people will experience the quick-freeze effects several times, and a cold winter is likely, a Beijing-based climate expert told the Global Times.
The official forecast also said that northern China will see more snow than average and southern China less rainfall than average.
5. Why is global warming mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate its relationship with chilly air. B. To introduce the climate expert Zhou Bing.
C. To describe the weather condition in the world. D. To stress the importance of the conference-COP26.
6. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Prevent. B. Affect. C. Cause. D. Recover.
7. What’s the result of the fast warming of the Arctic?
A. Our country will be cooled down slowly. B. The south of our country will see more snow.
C. The whole world will become extremely warm. D. There will be sudden drops in air temperature in our country.
8. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A textbook. B. A news report. C. A review. D. A travel brochure.
【答案】5. A 6. C 7. D 8. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了中国出现了一些极冷的天气,分析了这种极端天气形成的原因。

Laughter comes in many forms, from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh. Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts (环境). The team behind the laughing robot Erica said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot. “We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy (共情),” said Dr Koji Inoue, the lead author of the research. “So we decided that one way a robot can empathize with its users is to share their laughter.”
The team have set out to teach their AI system the art of conversational laughter. They gathered training data from more than 80 daily dialogues between male subjects and the robot that was initially operated by four actresses remotely. The dialogue data was grouped into social laughs (where polite or embarrassed laughter isn’t involved) and laughter of joy. Based on the audio files, the robot learned the basic characteristics of social laughs, which tend to be softer, and merry laughs, with the aim of mirroring these inappropriate situations.
“Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know, most laughter is actually not shared at all,” said Inoue. “We had to carefully decide exactly which laughs we could use for our analysis and we couldn’t just assume (认为) that any laugh can be responded to. It was really not easy work.” The team said laughter could help create robots with their own distinct character although it could take more than 20 years before it would be possible to have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.
“One of the things we’d keep in mind is that a laughing robot will never be able to understand you or the meaning of laughter,” points out Prof. Sandra Wachter of the Oxford Internet Institute. “But with their development, they might get very good at tricking you into believing they understand what’s going on.”
9. Why did Inoue’s team develop the AI system?
A. To better understand human empathy.
B. To promote the social skills of robots.
C. To explore the differences between laughs.
D. To assist robots in identifying people’s moods.
10. What can robot Erica probably do at present?
A. Repeat the details of the 80 dialogues.
B. Distinguish people by hearing their laughs
C. Recreate a scene played by the four actresses.
D. Master the features of laughs provided by data.
11. The underlined word “obstructor” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by .
A. potential B. difficulty C. choice D. mistake
12. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Are AI systems going beyond human ability?
B. Can conversational AI really understand us?
C. Laughing robots are round the corner
D. Robots become laughing masters
【答案】9. B 10. D 11. B 12. C
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts (环境). The team behind the laughing robot Erica said that the system could improve natural conversations between people and an AI robot.(科学家们现在正在开发一种人工智能系统,在适当的社交环境中重现不同的笑声。该团队表示,该系统可以提高人与人工智能机器人之间的自然对话)”可知,团队开发了人工智能系统是为了提高机器人的社交技能。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The team have set out to teach their AI system the art of conversational laughter. They gathered training data from more than 80 daily dialogues between male subjects and the robot that was initially operated by four actresses remotely. The dialogue data was grouped into social laughs (where polite or embarrassed laughter isn’t involved) and laughter of joy. Based on the audio files, the robot learned the basic characteristics of social laughs, which tend to be softer, and merry laughs, with the aim of mirroring these inappropriate situations.(该团队已经开始教授他们的人工智能系统对话式大笑的艺术。他们从男性受试者和最初由四名女演员远程操作的机器人之间的80多次日常对话中收集了训练数据。对话数据被分为社交笑声(不涉及礼貌或尴尬的笑声)和欢乐的笑声。基于音频文件,该机器人学习了社交笑声的基本特征,这些笑声往往更柔和、更快乐,目的是反映这些不恰当的情况)”可知,团队已经开始教授机器人笑的艺术,数据包括了笑的特征。由此推知,机器人Erica可能掌握了目前数据提供的笑的特征。故选D项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段““Our biggest obstructor in the work was identifying the actual cases of shared laughter because as you know, most laughter is actually not shared at all,” said Inoue. “We had to carefully decide exactly which laughs we could use for our analysis and we couldn’t just assume (认为) that any laugh can be responded to. It was really not easy work.”(“我们在这项工作中最大的obstructor是确定分享笑声的实际案例,因为正如你所知,大多数笑声实际上根本就不是分享的,”Inoue说。“我们必须仔细决定哪些笑声可以用于我们的分析,我们不能仅仅假设任何笑声都能得到回应。这真的不是一项容易的工作。”)”可知,现在确定分享笑声的实际案例不是一件容易的事情,这是研究人员工作中最大的困难,推测划线单词表示“障碍,困难”,与difficulty意义相近。故选B项。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Laughter comes in many forms, from a polite and quiet laugh to a great hearty laugh. Scientists are now developing an AI system to recreate different laughs in proper social contexts (环境).(笑声有多种形式,从礼貌而安静的笑声到开怀大笑。科学家们现在正在开发一种人工智能系统,在适当的社交环境中重现不同的笑声)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了科学家正在研究一款拥有可以笑的机器人。由此可知,C项Laughing robots are round the corner.(会笑的机器人即将问世)适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and employee are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting a return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
13. By “a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is _________.
A. an essential part of society with irreplaceable functions
B. expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C. an unimportant component of society, though functioning smoothly
D. responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
14. The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that _________.
A. they are filled with an overwhelming fear of being unemployed
B. they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest
C. they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they lack a sense of independence and productivity
15. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “submissiveness”?
A. caution B. obedience C. commitment D. optimism
16. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce the production mode of our ancestors.
B. To show the problematic situation in society.
C. To argue for full development of human potentials.
D. To help people escape production and consumption.
【答案】13. C 14. D 15. B 16. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了现代社会中工人、雇员以及社会阶层较高者的焦虑和不满情绪,呼吁转变社会制度,充分开发人类潜能,使生产和消费成为实现人的全面发展的手段。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In general, the society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic (官僚主义的) management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it.(总的来说,社会正在变成一个由官僚管理层管理的巨型企业,在这个企业中,人变成了机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮。给齿轮“加油”是通过更高的工资、设备精良的工厂和管弦乐,以及心理学家和“人际关系”专家完成的)”和“In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.(事实上,蓝领工人和白领工人已经成为经济的傀儡,随着自动化机器和官僚管理的曲调起舞)”可推知,作者认为人只是机器中一个小小的、运转良好的齿轮,是经济的傀儡,受到自动化机器和官僚管理的支配,虽然运行平稳,但并不重要。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, they feel desperate as they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.(事实上,他们感到绝望是因为他们从来没有作为情感和智力上独立的和有生产力的人去面对人类生存的基本现实)”可知,工人和雇员焦虑的真正原因是他们缺乏独立意识和生产力。故选D。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence.(当他们申请第一份工作时,他们接受智力测试,以及是否能把submissiveness和独立正确地结合起来的测试)”中“tested for”可知,句中谈论的是对应聘者的相关测试。结合划线词前“the right mixture...”和其后“independence”可推知,submissiveness与independence(独立)是应聘者需要兼有的两种 特质,应聘者在两者之间需要找到平衡点。结合选项可推知,submissiveness与obedience同义,意为“服从”,与independence(独立)意思相对。故选B项。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I suggest transforming the social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities — those of all love and of reason — are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.(我建议将社会制度从以最大限度生产和消费为目的的官僚管理的工业主义转变为以人及其潜能——所有爱和理性的潜能——的充分发展为社会安排目标的人道主义工业主义。生产和消费应该作为达到这一目的的手段,而不应该支配人)”可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是主张充分开发人类潜能。故选C项。

Many arguments teenagers have with their parents are about one thing: independence. As you get older, you’ll want to do more stuff on your own, without your mom and dad tagging along with you. The arguments generally start when your parents think you aren’t ready for extra responsibility while you think you are. Arguing with your parents isn’t the best solution at all, but the best solution is gaining trust from your parents. ___17___
●Understand that it’s not your parents who do not want you to have independence, they want the best for you and think you’re not ready or you’ll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want. Show your parents you can be sensible. ___18___If you can’t get home by 9:30, they’ll never let you out after 10:00.
●Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you won’t be spending your whole weekend out with your friends. ___19___They won’t imagine you getting into trouble if they know how they are.
●___20___ They won’t feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you’re up to. Call in and tell your parents that you’re OK from time to time. The less they worry about you, the more independence you’ll gain.
●___21___If they find out, all that trust will be destroyed and then you'll never get the extra independence you ever wanted.

B. Never lie to your parents about where you’re going.

【答案】17. E 18. G 19. F 20. D 21. B
【解析】
【分析】文章主要讲述如何避免就个人独立问题与父母生争执。
【17题详解】
根据前一句the best solution is gaining trust from your parents.(最好的方法是获取父母的信任。)以及下一段第一句Understand that it’s not your parents who do not want you to have independence, they want the best for you and think you’re not ready or you’ll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want.可知,父母不是不想让孩子独立,而是不想让孩子受伤害。所以此处起承接作用,E项“一般来说,他们不会担心增加你的独立性。”符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据后句的回家时间限定可知,此处应该表示与父母约好回家的时间。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据本段的主题句Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you won’t be spending your whole weekend out with your friends.可知,此段表明要处理好与朋友相处和与家人相处的时间分配。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据后句They won’t feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you’re up to.可知,如果父母知道你目前的状况,你在哪里,跟谁在一起,他们就不会不让你出去,故选D。
【21题详解】
根据后句If they find out, all that trust will be destroyed and then you’ll never get the extra independence you ever wanted.可知,此处表示不能毁掉父母对你的信任,所以不能撒谎。故选B。

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The survey our foreign teacher asked us to make on how students in our class improve their English writing ability after class shows that most students prefer to recite different writing models to improve their English. Reciting typical writing models is of great use to get a high mark in a short time, but actually it may well limit the ability of writing.
In my opinion, you are supposed to read more, which is a good way to expose and get more information, to improve your writing ability. In addition, try to listen and speak more English after class. Speaking, listening and writing influence and promote each other, so creating a good English environment really contributes to the improvement of writing.
In short, only by combining the four basic English skills together can we improve our writing skills.

One day, a father and his son were sitting together in a house. The father had become too old, suffering from amnesia (健忘症). The son was in his 50s. They just stayed by the window in silence.
Just then a crow (乌鸦) came down and sat on a branch. The father and the son could see the crow from where they sat. After a moment of silence, the father asked his son, “What is that?” The son, believing that his father could not see properly, answered, “It is a crow.” Again, they sat in silence, and then the father asked again, “What is that?” The son, almost losing his patience, replied again, “It is a crow, Dad.” After a moment, the father still asked his son, “What is that?” When his father asked the same question for the fourth time, the son lost his patience!
“Dad, how many times should I repeat it before you understand? Look at its black wings. It is a bird,” the son said loudly, trying to evoke (唤起) his father’s understanding of the crow’s image. Without saying anything, the father rose from his chair and left the room. Then the son heard some noises from his father's room. It seemed as if his father was looking for something.
After a while, the father came back. Holding an old but well-kept diary, he took his place. Suddenly, he said excitedly, “Here!” He showed his son the diary. It was a diary about the son!
Feeling curious, the son took the diary and read it out slowly, “Today I sat with my. three-year-old son. Together we sat on the sofa and looked outside. He repeatedly asked me about the crow that sat outside. Twenty times to be exact. It took him twenty times to understand that it was a crow. In the end, I told him that I loved all the questions he asked, and my little boy smiled happily.”

【答案】参考范文:
The father’s words in the diary deeply touched his son. The son felt very regretful for what he had said to his father. For a long time there had only been silence between them, without anything to share. “I’ve also forgotten the love my father had for me when I was young,” the son spoke to himself, with tears welling up in his eyes. Only then did he begin to understand how his father suffered from memory loss. The son thought, “I shouldn’t have been impatient with my father. I should help him. ”
So the son decided to do something to evoke his father’s memory. He turned to his father and asked tenderly, “So what’s your little boy now? ” Thinking for a moment, the old man shook his head. Then the son stood up, went close, and knelt down right beside his dad. Pointing at the bird outside their window, the son asked, “What is that, Dad? ” The father couldn’t believe what he just heard, and it seemed that he had remembered something. Then he answered delightedly and patiently, “It’s a crow, my boy. ” It was love that helped him remember his dear son.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,通过讲述一个父亲和儿子之间的故事,传达了关于爱、耐心和理解的重要信息。父亲年老健忘,反复询问儿子同一个问题——关于窗外乌鸦的身份。儿子最初耐心回答,但最终失去了耐心。然而,父亲随后拿出一本旧日记,让儿子回忆起自己小时候也曾经反复问父亲同样的问题,而父亲当时充满了耐心和爱心。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“日记中父亲的话深深触动了儿子。”可知,第一段可描写儿子的心理活动并最终决定帮助父亲。
②由第二段首句内容“于是,儿子决定做些事情来唤起父亲的记忆。”可知,第二段可描写儿子帮助父亲唤醒记忆的过程。
