While getting into Harvard Law School is never easy for anyone, Rehan, whose single-parent family was poor, made it by himself.
Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age.
Those hard times tested the family as a whole. The more stressed Rehan was, the worse his grades became. His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life.
However, things didn’t go that way. His father was in bad physical condition and then Rehan had to take a job at Bates Trucking & Trash Removal. He was smart and worked harder than any others. His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland. But Rehan’s struggles still weren’t over. During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风). Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it.
With a sick father, a younger brother, a hard job, and a little time to learn, Rehan just had his own painful story to stand on. “Yes, Rehan has a quick mind, but what makes his achievement even more admirable is his courageous journey to this moment,” said his professor.
4. What does the author mean by saying “hungry for more” in Paragraph 2?
A. Rehan was pained due to the lack of food.
B. Rehan wanted to get along well with his father.
C. Sufferings made Rehan more determined to fight.
D. Unlucky experience taught Rehan to take things easy.
5. Why did Rehan go into sports?
A. He wished to change his life. B. He found his talent for sports.
C. He wanted to improve his mood. D. He tried to develop new hobbies.
6. What happened after Rehan went to work?
A. His father’s health gradually improved. B. He was refused by Bowie State University.
C. He could continue his study with others’ help. D. His co-workers found the job difficult for him.
7. Which of the following can best describe Rehan’s days in college?
A. Colourful but busy. B. Fresh and relaxing.
C. Adventurous and funny. D. Challenging but rewarding.
C
When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music.
Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing.
The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect.
One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.
Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing.
8. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text?
A. Having better brain health in later life. B. Encouraging them to do things well.
C. Getting courage to try new things. D. Becoming famous.
9. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sufficient. B. Positive. C. Absolute. D. Typical.
10. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults?
A. It helps them stay physically active. B. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time.
C. It lowers the chance of developing dementia. D. It encourages them to sing more.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To encourage people to join in music activities. B. To tell us what we should do in daily life.
C. To describe that singing is good for health. D. To explain the importance of a hobby.
D
As psychologists (心理学家) have long recognised, we humans cope with negative things by employing psychological defences. These often take the form of self-serving biases (偏见), that is, we tend to owe other people’s successes to good luck, while seeing our own good results as a sign of born talent. Another example is the ’better-than-average’ effect, in which case we think we’re better than most others at various skills from driving to maths.
Getting defensive when we’re criticised, or when we make a mistake, is yet another of these self-protective mechanisms (机制). As the politicians so often say: “mistakes were made, but not by me”.
So, when you give someone negative feedback (反馈) or you criticise them or their beliefs, you are — perhaps unconsciously — threatening their psychological defences. By forcing them to recognise how they’ve mistaken, you’re likely to trigger extremely uncomfortable social emotions, such as a shame, guilt or embarrassment, or scary thoughts of rejection or loss of status. A way for people to avoid these uncomfortable feelings and thoughts is to get defensive, to deny they did anything wrong, or to engage in the mental gymnastics needed to save face.
Support for the social and moral aspects of defensiveness comes from a study by psychologists at Australia’s University of Flinders in 2020. The researchers showed that volunteers’ defensiveness (about past mistakes or possible moral guilt) was strengthened if they’d just had an experience of being socially rejected — thus making them more mentally weak. Contrarily, the volunteers acted less defensively if they’d had an earlier opportunity to demonstrate their moral values, which would have made them feel more secure about their moral standing.
One practical point from all this is that when you’re giving negative feedback, it pays to consider the effect it may have on the other person’s self-confidence. Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character. You can also take some of the sting out by concentrating on how their mistake can be fixed or how they can improve next time, that way they’re less likely to take things so personally.
12. Which of the following is an example of “using psychological defences”?
A. A teacher praises students’ progress to encourage them to keep learning.
B. When seeing a classmate win a competition, someone says he is just fortunate.
C. People usually feel confident and proud when they show their driving skills.
D. A student credits their excellent grade to hard work after studying for weeks.
13. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Control. B. Hide. C. Cause. D. Reduce.
14. What does the passage suggest doing when giving criticism?
A. Ignoring the ways to fix the mistakes made.
B. Concentrating on the person’s character flaws directly.
C. Pointing out only the mistakes without any suggestions.
D. Focusing on how to correct the mistakes.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Psychological Defences and How to Deal with Them.
B. The “Better-than-average” Effect in Daily Life.
C. Negative Feedback and Its Harm to People.
D. The Importance of Self-confidence in Society.

Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.
____16____ Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape.

When Jenny was in high school, she took a part-time job at a grocery store near the school. She was smart and nice while the boss Elsie and other workers there were friendly. As a result, Jenny made friends with them. After Jenny graduated, she gave up her part-time job, said goodbye to her friends, and went to a city far away to go to college, not knowing these friends would do her a big favor in the future.
Months later after Jenny was in college, the Christmas holiday approached. She applied herself to the final exams. Jenny’s eyes were aching from lack of sleep. She tried to rub(擦) the tiredness from her eyes, but failed. So she stood and stretched and looked through the window to watch the first snow of the season.
As she stared out of the window of her dorm, memories of once happily staying with her family members for the holiday hit her mind.
Feeling sad, Jenny sat back down at her desk and tried to focus on her studies. In just seven more days, the final exams would be over and all the students in the freshman college dorm would be going home except her. She would be moving temporarily to another dorm for the
Christmas break. Instead of enjoying homemade pies, cookies and roast turkey together with her family, Jenny would be eating alone in the school dining hall. It was not a prospect she looked forward to.
Jenny had no choice. She was a student from Pennsylvania attending college in Utah and her family of ten couldn’t afford to pay for her ticket home. She was able to attend college because of the several scholarships she had got.
Unable to focus her mind, Jenny stared back at the white snow dancing in the air. This would be her first Christmas away from home.
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。
Jenny was so sad that tears began welling up in her eyes.

While getting into Harvard Law School is never easy for anyone, Rehan, whose single-parent family was poor, made it by himself.
Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age.
Those hard times tested the family as a whole. The more stressed Rehan was, the worse his grades became. His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life.
However, things didn’t go that way. His father was in bad physical condition and then Rehan had to take a job at Bates Trucking & Trash Removal. He was smart and worked harder than any others. His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland. But Rehan’s struggles still weren’t over. During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风). Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it.
With a sick father, a younger brother, a hard job, and a little time to learn, Rehan just had his own painful story to stand on. “Yes, Rehan has a quick mind, but what makes his achievement even more admirable is his courageous journey to this moment,” said his professor.

A. Rehan was pained due to the lack of food.
B. Rehan wanted to get along well with his father.
C. Sufferings made Rehan more determined to fight.

5. Why did Rehan go into sports?

C. He wanted to improve his mood. D. He tried to develop new hobbies.
6. What happened after Rehan went to work?
A. His father’s health gradually improved. B. He was refused by Bowie State University.
C. He could continue his study with others’ help. D. His co-workers found the job difficult for him.
7. Which of the following can best describe Rehan’s days in college?

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公Rehan克服家庭困难,通过努力进入哈佛法学院的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age.( Rehan经历了多年的家庭斗争、贫困和不公平。他看到他的父亲做几份工作来抚养他和他的兄弟,几乎没有休息和食物。Rehan承认他很痛苦,“渴望得到更多”。在他很小的时候,生活就教会了他努力工作和自我完善的价值)”可知,Rehan经历了家庭的挣扎、贫困和不公,生活的苦难让他意识到努力工作和自我提升的价值,所以“hungry for more”意思是苦难让他更有决心去奋斗。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life.( 他父亲告诉他要学会通过锻炼来放松。带着不同的目的,他把自己的精力投入到体育运动中,他希望这能成为他摆脱贫困生活的途径)”可知,Rehan从事体育运动是希望这能成为他摆脱贫困生活的途径,即他希望通过运动改变自己的人生。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland.( 他的同事对他评价很高,并劝他回学校去。公司的一位老板甚至帮助他进入了鲍伊州立大学。Rehan的平均成绩为4.0分,并且能够转学到马里兰大学)” 可知,Rehan工作后,他的同事高度评价他并劝他回学校,公司的一位老板甚至帮他在鲍伊州立大学注册,他后来取得了好成绩并转学到了马里兰大学,所以他在别人的帮助下能够继续他的学业。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风) . Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it.( 他在马里兰大学读大三的时候,父亲中风了。为了救他的父亲,Rehan没有辍学,而是回到了Bates Trucking & Trash Removal公司。他每天凌晨3点起床,课前工作,把学习计划翻倍。最后,他以优异的成绩毕业了。此外,他开始申请哈佛法学院,并成功了)”可知,在大学里,Rehan面临着父亲中风的困境,他要工作还要学习,每天凌晨3点起床工作然后去上课,学习计划加倍,这说明他的大学生活充满挑战;但最后他以好成绩毕业,还被哈佛大学法学院录取,这又是很有回报的。故选D项。

When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music.
Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing.
The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect.
One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.
Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing.
8. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text?
A. Having better brain health in later life. B. Encouraging them to do things well.
C. Getting courage to try new things. D. Becoming famous.
9. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sufficient. B. Positive. C. Absolute. D. Typical.
10. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults?
A. It helps them stay physically active. B. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time.
C. It lowers the chance of developing dementia. D. It encourages them to sing more.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To encourage people to join in music activities. B. To tell us what we should do in daily life.
C. To describe that singing is good for health. D. To explain the importance of a hobby.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍一项研究表明学习演奏乐器、参与合唱有益于大脑健康,且能降低老年人患上痴呆的风险。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(一项研究发现,演奏乐器可能使人晚年拥有更好的大脑健康状况。)”可知,学习乐器能让孩子在晚年收获更好的大脑健康。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect.(研究发现,演奏乐器尤其钢琴,与更好的记忆力和思维能力相关,晚年持续演奏乐器会产生更加salutary效果。)”可知,演奏乐器对大脑有益,坚持练习效果更佳,因此划线单词salutary表示“积极有益”的含义。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.(并且她提出,这类音乐活动可以用来降低患上痴呆症的风险。)”可知,音乐活动能够减少老年人患痴呆症的概率。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(但有一个理由可以让家长鼓励孩子尝试:研究发现演奏乐器有益于晚年大脑健康。)”以及第四段中的“One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. (埃克塞特大学痴呆症研究教授安妮·科贝特是研究人员之一,她表示,鼓励老年人在晚年重拾音乐爱好,或是一项切实有效的公共卫生策略。)”可知,文章列举多项研究结论,介绍乐器演奏与歌唱对各年龄段人群的脑部益处,由此可推断,作者写作此文意在鼓励人们积极参与各类音乐活动。

As psychologists (心理学家) have long recognised, we humans cope with negative things by employing psychological defences. These often take the form of self-serving biases (偏见), that is, we tend to owe other people’s successes to good luck, while seeing our own good results as a sign of born talent. Another example is the ’better-than-average’ effect, in which case we think we’re better than most others at various skills from driving to maths.
Getting defensive when we’re criticised, or when we make a mistake, is yet another of these self-protective mechanisms (机制). As the politicians so often say: “mistakes were made, but not by me”.
So, when you give someone negative feedback (反馈) or you criticise them or their beliefs, you are — perhaps unconsciously — threatening their psychological defences. By forcing them to recognise how they’ve mistaken, you’re likely to trigger extremely uncomfortable social emotions, such as a shame, guilt or embarrassment, or scary thoughts of rejection or loss of status. A way for people to avoid these uncomfortable feelings and thoughts is to get defensive, to deny they did anything wrong, or to engage in the mental gymnastics needed to save face.
Support for the social and moral aspects of defensiveness comes from a study by psychologists at Australia’s University of Flinders in 2020. The researchers showed that volunteers’ defensiveness (about past mistakes or possible moral guilt) was strengthened if they’d just had an experience of being socially rejected — thus making them more mentally weak. Contrarily, the volunteers acted less defensively if they’d had an earlier opportunity to demonstrate their moral values, which would have made them feel more secure about their moral standing.
One practical point from all this is that when you’re giving negative feedback, it pays to consider the effect it may have on the other person’s self-confidence. Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character. You can also take some of the sting out by concentrating on how their mistake can be fixed or how they can improve next time, that way they’re less likely to take things so personally.
12. Which of the following is an example of “using psychological defences”?
A. A teacher praises students’ progress to encourage them to keep learning.
B. When seeing a classmate win a competition, someone says he is just fortunate.
C. People usually feel confident and proud when they show their driving skills.
D. A student credits their excellent grade to hard work after studying for weeks.
13. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Control. B. Hide. C. Cause. D. Reduce.
14. What does the passage suggest doing when giving criticism?
A. Ignoring the ways to fix the mistakes made.
B. Concentrating on the person’s character flaws directly.
C. Pointing out only the mistakes without any suggestions.
D. Focusing on how to correct the mistakes.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Psychological Defences and How to Deal with Them.
B. The “Better-than-average” Effect in Daily Life.
C. Negative Feedback and Its Harm to People.
D. The Importance of Self-confidence in Society.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了心理防御机制及其在批评反馈中的应对方式。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“These often take the form of self-serving biases (偏见), that is, we tend to owe other people’s successes to good luck, while seeing our own good results as a sign of born talent. (这些往往表现为自利偏见,也就是说,我们倾向于把别人的成功归功于好运,而把自己的好结果看作是天生才华的标志)”可知,当看到同学赢得比赛时,有人说他只是运气好,是使用心理防御的例子。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“By forcing them to recognise how they’ve mistaken, you’re likely to trigger extremely uncomfortable social emotions, such as a shame, guilt or embarrassment, or scary thoughts of rejection or loss of status. (通过强迫他们认识到自己的错误,你很可能会trigger极其不舒服的社会情绪,比如羞耻、内疚或尴尬,或者对被拒绝或失去地位的可怕想法)”可知,通过强迫他们认识到自己的错误,你很可能会引起极其不舒服的社会情绪,所以trigger的意思是“引起,导致”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character.

(因此,把你的批评集中在他们做错了什么上,而不是他们的性格或品格上。你也可以通过关注他们的错误如何被纠正,或者他们下次如何改进,来减轻一些刺痛,这样他们就不太可能把事情看得那么个人化)”可知,文章建议在批评别人时,要专注于如何纠正错误。故选D。
【15题详解】

多余选项。
Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.
____16____ Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force. When magma reaches the earth’s surface, it’s called lava (熔岩).
Some volcanic eruptions are explosive. Lava shoots into the sky. Gas and hot pieces of rock and ash are also released. The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma’s thickness. ____17____
Volcanic eruptions can cause other natural disasters. These include landslides, mudslides, earthquakes and tsunamis. Volcanoes can be destructive. ____18____ The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.
____19____ Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earth’s interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.
In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced. ____20____ Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity.
Volcanoes may be unpredictable. However, as we learn more about how they work, they will become even more important to life on the earth.
A. However, they can also create new land.
B. Volcanoes can become more dangerous.
C. A volcanic eruption works much the same way.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对火山的形成、喷发强度的决定因素、火山的危害和好处等进行了介绍。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Take a bottle of soda, and shake it really hard. Gas will form inside, causing a buildup of pressure. Twist the cap off. Pressure will be released from the bottle, and soda will shoot everywhere.”(拿瓶苏打水,用力摇晃。气体会在里面形成,造成压力的积聚。把盖子拧下来。压力会从瓶子里释放出来,苏打水会喷得到处都是。)可知,选项A中的the same way就是指指苏打水从瓶子里喷出来的方式,根据后文“Pressure builds up inside a volcano as gas forms in magma (岩浆), which is hot liquid rock beneath the surface of the earth. Gas bubbles in the volcano need to escape. When a volcano erupts, magma is pushed up through the opening with great force.”(当气体在岩浆中形成时,压力在火山内部积聚(岩浆), 它是地球表面下的热液体岩石。火山中的气泡需要逸出。当火山喷发时,岩浆会被巨大的力量推上火山口。)可知,火山爆发的方式和前文中提到的相同。所以选项C“火山爆发的作用方式大致相同。”切合文意。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据前文“The intensity of an eruption depends on a few factors. One is the magma’s temperature. Another is the magma’s thickness.”(喷发的强度取决于几个因素。一是岩浆的温度。另一个是岩浆的厚度。)可知,此处是讲决定喷发的强度的几个因素,并且前文中已经出现两个,所以选项E“被困在里面的气体量也是一个重要因素。”是讲第三个因素,切合文意。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据后文“The Hawaiian Islands were created by the eruptions of large low-lying volcanoes which are made up of layers of hardened lava.”(夏威夷群岛是由大型低洼火山喷发形成的,这些火山是由坚硬的熔岩层组成的。)可知,此处是讲火山喷发也会创造新的土地,对应选项A中的“they can also create new land”(它们还可以创造新的土地),又和前文“Volcanoes can be destructive.”(火山具有破坏性。)构成转折关系,对应选项A中的转折词however。所以选项A切合文意。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Ash from volcanoes adds helpful minerals to soil. This helps plants grow strong. Healthy plants produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. Volcanoes also remove heat from the earth’s interior (内部), which helps keep our planet cool.”(火山灰为土壤添加了有益的矿物质。这有助于植物茁壮成长。健康的植物产生氧气供人和动物呼吸。火山也会带走地球内部的热量, 有助于保持地球凉爽。)可知,此处是讲火山对地球起到了重要作用,所以选项G“火山在塑造地球方面起了重要作用。”切合文意。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Their measures involve using the heat beneath the earth’s surface to produce electricity.”(他们的措施包括利用地表下的热量发电。)和前文“In recent years, a new benefit of volcanoes has surfaced.”(近年来,火山的一个新的好处浮出水面。)可知,此处是指利用火山发电,所以选项D“科学家们正在利用火山为城市供电。”切合文意。故选D。

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。
When Jenny was in high school, she took a part-time job at a grocery store near the school. She was smart and nice while the boss Elsie and other workers there were friendly. As a result, Jenny made friends with them. After Jenny graduated, she gave up her part-time job, said goodbye to her friends, and went to a city far away to go to college, not knowing these friends would do her a big favor in the future.
Months later after Jenny was in college, the Christmas holiday approached. She applied herself to the final exams. Jenny’s eyes were aching from lack of sleep. She tried to rub(擦) the tiredness from her eyes, but failed. So she stood and stretched and looked through the window to watch the first snow of the season.
As she stared out of the window of her dorm, memories of once happily staying with her family members for the holiday hit her mind.
Feeling sad, Jenny sat back down at her desk and tried to focus on her studies. In just seven more days, the final exams would be over and all the students in the freshman college dorm would be going home except her. She would be moving temporarily to another dorm for the
Christmas break. Instead of enjoying homemade pies, cookies and roast turkey together with her family, Jenny would be eating alone in the school dining hall. It was not a prospect she looked forward to.
Jenny had no choice. She was a student from Pennsylvania attending college in Utah and her family of ten couldn’t afford to pay for her ticket home. She was able to attend college because of the several scholarships she had got.
Unable to focus her mind, Jenny stared back at the white snow dancing in the air. This would be her first Christmas away from home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jenny was so sad that tears began welling up in her eyes. She dried the tears and tried to block out the Christmas music that filled the entire hallway, not recalling her previous happy holiday. Suddenly, the phone rang, breaking up her moment of self-pity. She reached over and picked it up. “Hello?” “Hi, Jenny. This is Elsie.” Elsie greeted Jenny and asked when she would come back home on the phone. After hanging up, Elsie felt heart-broken. She immediately gathered her workers and told the bad news.
Before long, Elsie and her workers bought Jenny a ticket home. When knowing it Jenny was so amazed and shouted, “I’m going home! I’m going home!” She jumped up and down for joy. She began happily preparing for the final exams. On Christmas morning, she was awoken early by laughter. The smell of the holiday food and being able to stay with her family filled her with gratitude and love. The kindness of some special friends helped her, a lonely freshman, to have the best Christmas ever.
