二、阅读理解
(A)
Dear Mr. Barone,
I am writing on behalf of the seventh-grade class. The traditional seventh-grade spring field trip is to the State History Museum. This year, however, the seventh grade would like to request a change. The class is interested in going to the new World Botanical (植物的) Gardens. Although this would mean a two-hour bus ride, the benefits of the new field trip would make the extra time worthwhile. The garden hours are from 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. The class could leave school at 8:00 A.M. and arrive just as the gardens open. We would have time to explore the gardens, make notes about our favorite exhibits, eat lunch, and return to school by 4:00 P.M.
Many seventh-grade students have already visited the history museum. Since the museum is so close, students often go there with their families, or with other groups. We have enjoyed the many interesting exhibits, but this year we are hoping to learn something new.
The purpose of the new field trip destination is to help students understand the different environments of our planet. The World Botanical Gardens contains the second-largest walk-through Amazon rainforest exhibit in the country. Some of the other popular exhibits are the Giant Flowers, the Arid Deserts, and the Palm Trees Around the World.
Since seventh-grade students study plants and plant energy in science class, visiting the botanical gardens would be an appropriate and educational field trip. The information we could learn there would be an excellent way to add to our science studies. We would observe plants growing in special displays that are similar to their natural habitats.
Please consider this request for the seventh-grade field trip to World Botanical Gardens. Any increase in the traditional field trip expenses, such as the longer bus ride, could be made up for by fundraisers such as bake sales and car washes.
If I can provide additional information, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Robert Burns

Teenagers can’t afford to buy expensive gifts. So what do you do if you want to give gifts to the important people in your life? In fact, you don’t have to spend much money on holiday gifts. There are many cheap ways to do that.
Here are some do-it-yourself gift ideas to try:
To your mother and dad:
You can clean the room, sing a song or write a letter to your mom and dad. You could also draw a picture if you like that.
To your teacher:
Sometimes students put their pocket money together and buy a teacher a holiday gift. Some kids would like to give their own gifts. You can send a nice card with the words of thanks inside. You might even write down the favorite thing you’ve learned in the teacher’s class this year. It will make the teacher feel happy.
To the kids who need a friend:
The holidays are a good time to think about people who are lonely. Maybe there is someone in your class who doesn’t seem to have any friends. Try to do something for this person. It could be giving a Christmas card or just chatting with him or her. It’s a small thing, but it could mean a lot to him or her.

Many travelers face a common problem: jet lag. It is the feeling of tiredness people get when traveling a long distance, resulting in a difference in daylight hours.
People who travel long distances often want to prevent jet lag. Professor Malcolm von Schantz says one way, but it has a high cost. Paying a lot for a bigger seat and more space in an airplane can prevent sleep deprivation (剥夺). He knows most people cannot pay so much to travel. But he says timing your flights can help. For example, he suggests flying from Europe to North America during the day, so that it is evening when passengers land and they can get to sleep. Von Schantz also said flying in newer passenger jets, like the Airbus A350 or Boeing 787 Dreamliner, might help. Those planes can keep a more comfortable atmosphere inside, causing less tiredness.
Experts say being in sunlight is important to resetting your internal (内部的) body clock. That could mean either avoiding morning sun or seeking it out, depending on where you started. Getting light in the morning will move your body clock forward, while getting light in the early evening will delay it. Sleeping for a short time during the day is acceptable, but scientists warn against sleeping for longer periods later in the day. Doing so might make it harder to sleep through the night. They suggest business travelers should consider arriving a day or two ahead of any important meetings or events. Being jet-lagged can lead to unwise decisions and unpleasant feelings. He advises tourists to get enough sleep before doing anything that requires a lot of attention, like driving.
Experts suggest increasing tourists’ exposure to light when they arrive at a new place to prevent jet lag. But they also have another method if light does not help: drinking coffee.
9.What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A.To explain what jet lag is. B.To encourage people to travel.
C.To show why jet lag is common. D.To offer advice for long-distance tourists.
10.How many ways does Malcolm von Schantz provide to prevent jet lag?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
11.What’s the advice for business travelers?
A.Avoiding the sunlight. B.Sleeping during the day.
C.Arriving at the destination in advance. D.Paying attention to the driving.
12.What’s the text mainly about?
A.What is jet lag? B.When does jet lag happen?
C.Why is jet lag common? D.How can jet lag be prevented?
(D)
Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges by ourselves. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.
13.From the story we know that the butterfly can’t fly because .
A.the man feels sorry for it
B.the man helps it come out
C.it gets out by itself
D.it tries to challenge itself
14.Dennis’s example shows that successful people should .
A.take up business early
B.sell clothes from door to door
C.overcome the difficulties by themselves
D.become the leaders of tomorrow
15.The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “ ”.
A.take up B.get up C.wake up D.grow up
16.What is the writer trying to do in the passage?
A.Encourage young people to face challenges.
B.Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
C.Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
D.Describe where a butterfly comes from.

It pays to be an optimist. Optimists tend to be in better health. A meta-analysis found that optimism was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events. 1 They are likely to see setbacks as temporary and caused by external circumstances, rather than to regard failures as a result of their own enduring weaknesses.
Optimists are more likely to rise up organisational ladders as well. A recent paper surveyed founders, bosses and employees in the Netherlands, and found that entrepreneurs and managers are as optimistic as each other. 2 It can be concluded that confidence, justified or not, is a big part of why people are chosen for bigger jobs within organisations.
3 Within organisations, excessive optimism often causes trouble. Unrealistic starting expectations make it more likely that projects will miss budgets and deadlines. Optimism also makes it less likely that failing projects will be stopped.
There are plenty of ideas on how to counter optimism bias. Processes can help — in preliminary risk checking, for example, people deliberately imagine the failure of a proposed initiative and identify the most likely causes. 4 It is found that overconfident CEOs tend to hire overconfident CFOs. If your entire team is made up of optimists, you have a problem.
Yet it is also possible to lean too far in the other direction — extreme pessimism. It is a widespread problem in business because people tend to look for negative signals. 5 Instead of trying to fix their weaknesses, we should focus on putting people in positions that play to their strengths. Pessimism has its place, but it is optimism that makes things happen.
A.Team composition also matters.
B.Optimists also tend to be resilient.
C.Both are more optimistic than employees.
D.However, optimism can plainly go too far.
E.In contrast, pessimists are easily defeated by difficulties.
F.And ordinary employees hold a similar optimistic attitude.
G.But some researchers think that we have paid too much attention to negative things.

How to Have a Successful Teenage Life
Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life. Follow the steps below, and successful teenage years will follow suit!
Do well in school. No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Strive (力争) for excellence in school; try your best, listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. Doing so will help you get into a better college or university, which will allow you to get a great job in the future. 6
Help out in your community. Volunteering can not only improve your community’s condition, it could make you happier. Find volunteer chances that interest you. For example, if you love animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself. 7 And to top it all off, having lots of volunteer hours will look good on your resume (简历)!
8 Start thinking about careers you would like to be in, but make a good choice based on your interests and strengths. This could be your job for the rest of your life! You could also work towards non-career-related goals, such as getting good grades in school, joining a team sport, etc. Challenge yourself and you’ll be surprised at what you can achieve!
Have good friends to help you out. 9 Be with people who make you happy, and avoid the ones who don’t. Create a group of supportive, loving friends that can help you succeed in life and live your dreams. Find a few really good friends that will stick with you once you leave high school.
Get active! Join a sports team at school or out of school. Go for a run around your neighborhood. 10 Join a dance group, go swimming at the local entertainment center, do sit ups during commercial breaks on TV — anything! Just exercise! It helps you feel better, mentally and physically.
A.Develop hobbies.
B.A successful teenager needs efforts.
C.Take your dog on a nice, long walk.
D.School sets you up on the right track!
E.You’re making a big difference in the world.

【详解】1.考查动词时态。句意:经过一个漫长的暑假,我高中的新生活终于开始了。根据“After a long summer holiday”并结合句意可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,空格处谓语动词使用过去式。故填began。

18.考查语态。句意:这样处理,你们的友谊很快就会修复。repair(修复)是谓语动词,与主语“your friendship”之间是被动关系,结合句意和助动词“will”可知,需用一般将来时的被动语态will be repaired。故填be repaired。
19.考查介词。句意:心中充满愤怒,你可能会说出任何你想说的话。(be) filled with为固定短语,意为“充满”。故填with。
20.考查代词。句意:如果一个成员没有尽到自己的责任,你可以向教练提出你的担忧。pull one’s weight为固定短语,意为“尽自己的本分”,此处表示“一个成员自己的”,需用形容词性物主代词his作定语。故填his。
二、阅读理解

Dear Mr. Barone,
I am writing on behalf of the seventh-grade class. The traditional seventh-grade spring field trip is to the State History Museum. This year, however, the seventh grade would like to request a change. The class is interested in going to the new World Botanical (植物的) Gardens. Although this would mean a two-hour bus ride, the benefits of the new field trip would make the extra time worthwhile. The garden hours are from 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. The class could leave school at 8:00 A.M. and arrive just as the gardens open. We would have time to explore the gardens, make notes about our favorite exhibits, eat lunch, and return to school by 4:00 P.M.
Many seventh-grade students have already visited the history museum. Since the museum is so close, students often go there with their families, or with other groups. We have enjoyed the many interesting exhibits, but this year we are hoping to learn something new.
The purpose of the new field trip destination is to help students understand the different environments of our planet. The World Botanical Gardens contains the second-largest walk-through Amazon rainforest exhibit in the country. Some of the other popular exhibits are the Giant Flowers, the Arid Deserts, and the Palm Trees Around the World.
Since seventh-grade students study plants and plant energy in science class, visiting the botanical gardens would be an appropriate and educational field trip. The information we could learn there would be an excellent way to add to our science studies. We would observe plants growing in special displays that are similar to their natural habitats.
Please consider this request for the seventh-grade field trip to World Botanical Gardens. Any increase in the traditional field trip expenses, such as the longer bus ride, could be made up for by fundraisers such as bake sales and car washes.
If I can provide additional information, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Robert Burns

Many travelers face a common problem: jet lag. It is the feeling of tiredness people get when traveling a long distance, resulting in a difference in daylight hours.
People who travel long distances often want to prevent jet lag. Professor Malcolm von Schantz says one way, but it has a high cost. Paying a lot for a bigger seat and more space in an airplane can prevent sleep deprivation (剥夺). He knows most people cannot pay so much to travel. But he says timing your flights can help. For example, he suggests flying from Europe to North America during the day, so that it is evening when passengers land and they can get to sleep. Von Schantz also said flying in newer passenger jets, like the Airbus A350 or Boeing 787 Dreamliner, might help. Those planes can keep a more comfortable atmosphere inside, causing less tiredness.
Experts say being in sunlight is important to resetting your internal (内部的) body clock. That could mean either avoiding morning sun or seeking it out, depending on where you started. Getting light in the morning will move your body clock forward, while getting light in the early evening will delay it. Sleeping for a short time during the day is acceptable, but scientists warn against sleeping for longer periods later in the day. Doing so might make it harder to sleep through the night. They suggest business travelers should consider arriving a day or two ahead of any important meetings or events. Being jet-lagged can lead to unwise decisions and unpleasant feelings. He advises tourists to get enough sleep before doing anything that requires a lot of attention, like driving.
Experts suggest increasing tourists’ exposure to light when they arrive at a new place to prevent jet lag. But they also have another method if light does not help: drinking coffee.
9.What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A.To explain what jet lag is. B.To encourage people to travel.
C.To show why jet lag is common. D.To offer advice for long-distance tourists.
10.How many ways does Malcolm von Schantz provide to prevent jet lag?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
11.What’s the advice for business travelers?
A.Avoiding the sunlight. B.Sleeping during the day.
C.Arriving at the destination in advance. D.Paying attention to the driving.
12.What’s the text mainly about?
A.What is jet lag? B.When does jet lag happen?
C.Why is jet lag common? D.How can jet lag be prevented?
【答案】9.A 10.B 11.C 12.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一些关于如何避免倒时差的建议。
【详解】9.推理判断题。通过阅读文章第一段内容“Many travelers face a common problem: jet lag. It is the feeling of tiredness people get when traveling a long distance, resulting in a difference in daylight hours.(许多旅行者都面临一个共同的问题:时差反应。这是人们在长途旅行时产生的疲劳感,导致了白天时间的不同。)”可知,该段主要对“时差反应”这个概念进行了解释,由此推知,该段的功能是解释概念。故选A项。
10.细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Professor Malcolm von Schantz says one way, but it has a high cost. Paying a lot for a bigger seat and more space in an airplane can prevent sleep deprivation(Malcolm von Schantz教授说,有一种方法,但成本很高。在飞机上花大价钱买一个更大的座位和更大的空间可以防止睡眠不足)”,“But he says timing your flights can help.(但他表示,安排航班时间会有所帮助。)”以及“Schantz also said flying in newer passenger jets, like the Airbus A350 or Boeing 787 Dreamliner, might help.( Schantz还表示,乘坐空客A350或波音787梦幻客机等新型客机可能会有所帮助。)”可知,他提出了“高价买入更大座位和更大空间”,“航班时间安排”和“搭乘新型客机”三种方法。故选B项。
11.细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“They suggest business travelers should consider arriving a day or two ahead of any important meetings or events.(他们建议商务旅行者应该考虑在任何重要会议或活动前一两天到达。)”可知,专家建议商务旅客应该考虑在会议前一两天到达目的地。故选C项。
12.主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知,文章第二段首句“People who travel long distances often want to prevent jet lag.(长途旅行的人通常希望防止时差反应。)”提出了文章的核心话题,即,“防止时差反应”,并在后文段落详细阐述了教授和专家就“如何防止时差反应”给出的建议。选项D“How can jet lag be prevented?(如何预防时差反应?)”贴合主题。故选D项。

Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn’t struggle to leave the chrysalis, it can’t fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges by ourselves. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.
13.From the story we know that the butterfly can’t fly because .
A.the man feels sorry for it
B.the man helps it come out
C.it gets out by itself
D.it tries to challenge itself
14.Dennis’s example shows that successful people should .
A.take up business early
B.sell clothes from door to door
C.overcome the difficulties by themselves
D.become the leaders of tomorrow
15.The meaning of the underlined word “mature” in the passage is “ ”.
A.take up B.get up C.wake up D.grow up
16.What is the writer trying to do in the passage?
A.Encourage young people to face challenges.
B.Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
C.Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
D.Describe where a butterfly comes from.
【答案】13.B 14.C 15.D 16.A
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文以蝴蝶破蛹的故事引出道理:人生的挑战能磨炼人,使人成长变强,作者鼓励年轻人主动直面并克服困难。
【详解】13.细节理解题。根据第一段“He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly.(他剪开蛹,蝴蝶轻松地出来了。令人意外的是,这只蝴蝶却无法飞翔。)”可知,蝴蝶不能飞是因为男人帮助它钻出了蛹。故选B项。
14.细节理解题。根据第二段“He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.(他必须养活一家九口人。他迎难而上,克服了重重困难。如今,他的兄弟姐妹们都过上了幸福顺遂的生活。)”可知,丹尼斯的例子说明成功者需要独自克服困难。故选C项。
15.词句猜测题。根据第二段“His father’s death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.(父亲的离世迫使他迅速mature。他不得不肩负起养活一家九口人的重担,迎难而上并克服了所有艰难困苦。如今,他的兄弟姐妹们都过上了安稳顺遂的美好生活。)”可知,丹尼斯不得不肩负起养活一家九口人的重担,所以这里指父亲的去世让他快速成熟长大,mature的意思是“长大、成熟”。故选D项。
16.推理判断题。根据最后一段“For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.(国家想要持续发展,年轻人学会直面并克服挑战是十分重要的。)”以及上文内容可知,作者意在鼓励年轻人勇敢面对人生中的挑战。故选A项。
1、 七选五
(一)
It pays to be an optimist. Optimists tend to be in better health. A meta-analysis found that optimism was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events. 1 They are likely to see setbacks as temporary and caused by external circumstances, rather than to regard failures as a result of their own enduring weaknesses.
Optimists are more likely to rise up organisational ladders as well. A recent paper surveyed founders, bosses and employees in the Netherlands, and found that entrepreneurs and managers are as optimistic as each other. 2 It can be concluded that confidence, justified or not, is a big part of why people are chosen for bigger jobs within organisations.
3 Within organisations, excessive optimism often causes trouble. Unrealistic starting expectations make it more likely that projects will miss budgets and deadlines. Optimism also makes it less likely that failing projects will be stopped.
There are plenty of ideas on how to counter optimism bias. Processes can help — in preliminary risk checking, for example, people deliberately imagine the failure of a proposed initiative and identify the most likely causes. 4 It is found that overconfident CEOs tend to hire overconfident CFOs. If your entire team is made up of optimists, you have a problem.
Yet it is also possible to lean too far in the other direction — extreme pessimism. It is a widespread problem in business because people tend to look for negative signals. 5 Instead of trying to fix their weaknesses, we should focus on putting people in positions that play to their strengths. Pessimism has its place, but it is optimism that makes things happen.
A.Team composition also matters.
B.Optimists also tend to be resilient.
C.Both are more optimistic than employees.
D.However, optimism can plainly go too far.
E.In contrast, pessimists are easily defeated by difficulties.
F.And ordinary employees hold a similar optimistic attitude.
G.But some researchers think that we have paid too much attention to negative things.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.G
【导语】文章主要论述了乐观主义的利弊,指出适度乐观有益健康与事业,但过度乐观会带来问题,需保持平衡。
【详解】1.由上文“Optimists tend to be in better health. A meta-analysis found that optimism was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events.(乐观主义者往往更健康。一项元分析发现,乐观与较低的心血管事件风险相关。)”及下文“They are likely to see setbacks as temporary and caused by external circumstances, rather than to regard failures as a result of their own enduring weaknesses.(他们更可能将挫折视为暂时的、由外部环境造成的,而不是将自己的失败归因于自身持久的弱点。)”可知,上文列举了乐观的健康益处,下文描述了乐观者对挫折的态度,本空应进一步说明乐观者的另一个积极特质。B选项“乐观主义者也往往更有韧性。”能承上启下,符合语境。
2.由上文“A recent paper surveyed founders, bosses and employees in the Netherlands, and found that entrepreneurs and managers are as optimistic as each other.(最近一篇论文调查了荷兰的创始人、老板和员工,发现企业家和管理者彼此一样乐观。)”及下文“It can be concluded that confidence, justified or not, is a big part of why people are chosen for bigger jobs within organisations.(可以得出结论,自信,无论合理与否,是人们被选中担任组织中更大职位的重要原因。)”可知,上文比较了三类人的乐观程度,下文得出了自信有助于晋升的结论,本空应说明管理者与普通员工的差异。C选项“两者都比员工更乐观。”中的“both”指代上文的企业家和管理者,解释了为何他们更易获得晋升,能承上启下,符合语境。
3.由下文“Within organisations, excessive optimism often causes trouble. Unrealistic starting expectations make it more likely that projects will miss budgets and deadlines. Optimism also makes it less likely that failing projects will be stopped.(在组织内部,过度乐观常常会带来麻烦。不切实际的初始预期使项目更有可能超出预算和截止日期。乐观也使失败的项目更不可能被叫停。)”可知,下文讲述了过度乐观的缺点,本空应点明存在过度乐观。D选项“然而,乐观显然可能会过头。”能引出下文,符合语境。
4.由上文“Processes can help — in preliminary risk checking, for example, people deliberately imagine the failure of a proposed initiative and identify the most likely causes.(流程可以有所帮助——例如在初步风险检查中,人们刻意想象拟议项目的失败并找出最可能的原因。)”及下文“It is found that overconfident CEOs tend to hire overconfident CFOs. If your entire team is made up of optimists, you have a problem.(研究发现,过度自信的CEO倾向于雇佣过度自信的CFO。如果你的整个团队都由乐观主义者组成,那你就有问题了。)”可知,上文讲流程管控办法,下文讲团队人员搭配的问题,本空应引出团队构成这一新角度。A选项“团队构成也很重要。”中的“also”与上文的流程形成补充关系,并引出下文的例子,能承上启下,符合语境。
5.由上文“It is a widespread problem in business because people tend to look for negative signals.(这是商业中的一个普遍问题,因为人们倾向于寻找负面信号。)”及下文“Instead of trying to fix their weaknesses, we should focus on putting people in positions that play to their strengths. Pessimism has its place, but it is optimism that makes things happen.(与其试图修复他们的弱点,我们应该专注于把人放在能发挥其优势的位置上。悲观主义有其存在的价值,但让事情发生的是乐观主义。)”可知,上文指出了人们过度关注负面信号的问题,下文提出了不应只关注弱点的建议,本空应指出这种过度关注负面现象本身就是一个问题。G选项“但一些研究人员认为,我们对负面事物关注得太多了。”能承接上文的现象,并引出下文改变做法的建议,承上启下,符合语境。
