We kindly ask you to help us improve our quality by giving us feedback on how we are doing and what we can do better. Not less importantly, we ask you to help us preserve the Icelandic nature which can be very fragile. Off-road driving is strictly forbidden and please do not litter.

So, I felt that some physical exercise would help.” She then discovered tai chi when she spotted by chance a poster advertising classes and decided to try the mysterious and exotic(异国的) sport. Oliver was immediately struck by the gentle and beautiful movements of tai chi, and to her delight, found that her occasional pains disappeared after years of practice. “It not only helps me improve physical strength, but also provides me with many mental benefits, such as improved mood and focus, and less anxiety and depression,” she added. To further understand tai chi and the Chinese philosophy behind it, Oliver decided to begin a journey to China. In 2005, Oliver established the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people seeking to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture. The center supports kung fu masters in teaching martial arts(武术) and organizes events for people to experience various aspects of Chinese culture. Apart from her tai chi classes, Oliver now serves as the director of the British Cultural Center at Shanghai University. Reflecting on her work, Oliver said, “For quite many years, my work is actually like a cultural bridge. If you don’t have someone in the middle who is appreciative of all the cultures and have the desire to connect people, then it’s hard for them to get to know each other. I hope I can be the bridge to bring people close together. We need to foster mutual understanding among cultures to promote peaceful relations and friendship across the globe.” 4.

Her well-being improved. B. She became talkative. C. Her pain came less often. D. She became open-minded. 6. What does Oliver mainly do in Shanghai? A. Give kung fu performances. B.

So, I felt that some physical exercise would help.”(她解释道：“当时我还是一个活泼的年轻人，无法忍受在床上休息。”。“由于缺乏使用，我的肌肉变得僵硬，经常疼痛难忍。所以，我觉得一些体育锻炼会有所帮助。”)”和第三段“She then discovered tai chi when she spotted by chance a poster advertising classes and decided to try the mysterious and exotic(异国的) sport. Oliver was immediately struck by the gentle and beautiful movements of tai chi, and to her delight, found that her occasional pains disappeared after years of practice.(后来，她偶然发现了一张宣传课程的海报，并决定尝试这项神秘而富有异国情调的运动。奥利弗立刻被太极拳轻柔优美的动作所打动，令她高兴的是，经过多年的练习，她发现自己偶尔的疼痛消失了。)”可知，奥利弗练习太极拳是为了锻炼来恢复他的身体健康。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Oliver was immediately struck by the gentle and beautiful movements of tai chi, and to her delight, found that her occasional pains disappeared after years of practice.(奥利弗立刻被太极拳轻柔优美的动作所打动，令她高兴的是，经过多年的练习，她发现自己偶尔的疼痛消失了。)”可知，练习了太极拳之后，奥利弗的健康状况有了改善。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Apart from her tai chi classes, Oliver now serves as the director of the British Cultural Center at Shanghai University.

I hope I can be the bridge to bring people close together. We need to foster mutual understanding among cultures to promote peaceful relations and friendship across the globe.”(除了太极课，奥利弗现在还是上海大学英国文化中心的主任。回想她的工作，奥利弗说，“很多年来，我的工作实际上就像一座文化桥梁。如果你中间没有一个欣赏所有文化并渴望联系人们的人，那么他们很难相互了解。我希望我能成为使人们紧密联系的桥梁。我们需要促进不同文化之间的相互理解，以促进和平关系和友谊遍布全球。”)”可知，奥利弗在上海主要是为了促进不同文化的相互交流。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“She then discovered tai chi when she spotted by chance a poster advertising classes and decided to try the mysterious and exotic(异国的) sport.

I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware, I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition. 8. What did the writer become aware of? A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV. C. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. 9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year? A. The families get together for it. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. C. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day. 10. What’s the writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread? A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Understandable. D. Doubtful. 11. What idea does the writer want to express in this passage? A. It is good to form healthy eating habits. B. Eating habits come from a certain culture. C. Changing your eating habits will change your life. D. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，用中国人喜欢嗑瓜子和丹麦人喜欢吃面包配咸红鱼来证明饮食习惯来自特定的文化。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware, I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.(我从来没有注意过这个习惯，但他一提到这个习惯，我就突然意识到，每当我看电视或打报告时，我总是开始无意识地嗑瓜子。)”可知，作者意识到自己有嗑瓜子的习惯，故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.(在客厅里，一张大桌子已经摆好了，上面有精致的桌布，现成的饺子馅，还有装满糖果、水果和瓜子的盘子。有些菜是给我们的祖先以后，而其他的是邻居和孩子吃晚饭前。我那时一定学会了如何嗑瓜子。)” 可知，春节的时候桌子上会摆放很多美食, 其中就有瓜子，小孩在可以在年夜饭前吃，作者就是在那时学会了嗑瓜子，由此可知，作者提到春节是为了证明嗑瓜子和春节有关，故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.(我认为这是一个很棒的传统。)”可知，作者认为丹麦人吃面包配咸红鱼是一个很好的传统，由此可知，作者接受这种吃法，故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture.(他们认为这是一种美味佳肴，与他们特定的文化有关。)”可知，丹麦人认为这样吃面包是美味的，这和他们的特定的文化有关，正如作者喜欢嗑瓜子和春节文化有关，由此可知，作者想在这篇文章中表达的观点是，饮食习惯来自特定的文化，故选B项。 D A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was torn apart by self-criticism. “I can’t stop beating myself up,” she told me. “I’m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening?” Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame. We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mind set” research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they’re lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest. 12. Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to? A. Those lacking courage to make self-criticism. B. Those tired of working all night in the library. C. Those believing hard work surely pay off. D. Those overprotected by their parents in life. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids. B. The result of the “mindset” research doesn’t apply to all cases. C. Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids’ academic performance. D. Whether praising kids’ effort over ability does good to kids depends. 14. According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life? A. By choosing where to go to college for them. B. By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality. C. By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard. D. By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love. 15. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Students should not expect too much from their study. B. Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily. C. Students should bear all the failures on their own. D. Students are sure to succeed if they try their best. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了年轻人认为的努力肯定会有回报有时候不一定是正确的，心理学家将这种现象归因于对“心态”研究的误用，该研究发现，表扬孩子的努力会提高他们的学习成绩。残酷而混乱的现实是，你可以尽你所能做任何事情，但仍然失败。对此父母可以鼓励孩子们坚持他们真正热爱的有价值的事业来帮助孩子克服生活中的障碍。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame. ”(我教过的许多学生，比如这位运动员，都认为在图书馆里通宵学习，在赛场上训练几个小时，应该能让他们达到目的。当他们没有达到他们认为应该达到的目标时，他们就会被自责击垮)可知，这位明星运动员属于那些相信努力工作肯定会有回报的人。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But a 2018 analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. ”(但2018年的一项分析发现，尽管称赞努力胜过能力可能有利于高风险或经济困难的学生，但这并不一定对每个人都有帮助)可知，是否表扬孩子的努力而不是能力对孩子有好处取决于实际情况。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. ”(有人建议家长和老师花时间帮助学生找到目标，或他们真正喜欢追求的、对世界产生影响的目标，这可能会帮助他们获得更大的生活满意度，在心理上变得更成熟)可知，父母可以鼓励孩子们坚持他们真正热爱的、有价值的事业来帮助孩子克服生活中的障碍。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s often the people who learn to say ‘stuff happens’ who get up the fastest. ”(往往是那些学会说“世事无常”的人最快地行动起来)可知，有积极态度的学生更容易前进。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years，psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. ____16____ . Here are 4 tips to improve your study habits. Space out your studying Nate Kornell，a psychologist at Williams College，thinks it's a good idea to study the day before a big test. ____17____. Instead，space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it's still full，and you can't add much more water. Allow time between study sessions，and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you'll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session. Practice，practice，practice! Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____18____. "If you want to be able to remember information，the best thing you can do is practice，" says Katherine Rawson. She's a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study，students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test，they scored more than a full letter grade better，on average，than students who studied the way they normally had. Test yourself Nebel's preferred study habit is one of the best ways. Before big tests，Nebel's mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval（检索）practice，”she says. As Nebel got older，she quizzed herself. “____19____，” Nebel suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions，”she adds. Dig deeper It's hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don't push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about？Why do they matter？Psychologists call this elaboration. It's taking class material and asking a lot of how and why questions about it. This helps you combine new information with other things you know. And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another，she says. ____20____. A. The same should go for learning B. Some tips help for almost every subject C. Of course，nothing can replace studying with your mother D. Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really useful E. That larger network makes it easier to learn and remember things F. Create a pack of flash cards every time you learn new information G. But research shows it's a bad idea to force all your studying into that day 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章就“如何改善学习习惯”给出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据前一句“ For more than 100 years，psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. ”（100多年来，心理学家一直在研究哪些学习习惯最有效。），推断B选项（一些技巧对几乎每一门学科都有帮助）承接上文，引出下文的4 tips。故选B 【17题详解】 根据空格前一句“Nate Kornell，a psychologist at Williams College，thinks it's a good idea to study the day before a big test.”（威廉姆斯学院的心理学家内特·科内尔认为，在大考前一天学习是个好主意。），根据后句的instead体现出后文说明的是相反的做法，G选项（但研究表明，把你所有的学习都拖到那天是个坏主意），“but”一词表示句间逻辑的转折。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据空格前两句“Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills.”（音乐家们练习他们的乐器。运动员练习运动技能。），根据下文“If you want to be able to remember information，the best thing you can do is practice，" says Katherine Rawson. ”（如果你想记住信息，最好的办法就是练习。”凯瑟琳·罗森说道）A选项（学习也是如此）符合题意，表明学习也需要练习。后文是对选项的解释。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Before big tests，Nebel's mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval（检索）practice，”she says. As Nebel got older，she quizzed herself. ”段落介绍了Nebel最初是考试前妈妈给她进行检索式复习。随着年龄增长，她自己采取这种方法复习。此句是引用Nebel说的话，她举例介绍检索式复习的一种方式。F选项（每次学习新信息时，创建一组闪存卡）符合要求。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据前一句“And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another，she says.”（她说：“它在你的大脑中建立了一个更大的网络，把相互关联的事物联系起来。”。）可知，选项承接上文说明更大的网络使的作用。E选项（那个更大的网络使学习和记忆东西变得更容易。）中的that larger network的指代就非常明显，指代前一句中的a bigger network。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from school ___21___, too shy to step into the public attention.

I wanted a set of golf clubs and a skateboard! ” My children, Allison and Blake, were filled with disappointment on Christmas morning. They expected fancy presents, but money had been tight since their father passed away. As a single parent, I was doing my best to provide for them, but I could no longer afford our previous lifestyle. I knew we had spoiled them, but I never realized it was this bad. Their reactions shocked and hurt me, but I tried not to show it. “Next year, we’ll be celebrating Christmas differently!” I told them firmly. Over the following months, I planned our next Christmas celebration. I found a family in need, living on a farm about an hour away. The father had lost his job, and they were struggling to make ends meet. As Christmas approached, we carried out our usual traditions of decorating the tree, baking cookies, and singing carols. Yet, there were no gifts under our tree. My children grew curious and asked where the presents were. Then I explained that we would be giving gifts to a family that truly needed them. They needed to see what it was like to need essentials such as clothing and food. We went shopping to purchase essential items like coats, hats, gloves, socks, and shoes for the family. We also selected age-appropriate toys for their children. Next, we headed to the grocery store and filled our carts with everything they would need for a delicious Christmas dinner. We even bought extra items to help them through the winter. Blake and Allison didn’t seem thrilled by the situation, but I hoped they were reflecting on their attitudes from the previous Christmas. I had a couple of gifts hidden in my closet, ready to reward them if they showed respect and kindness. 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。 Paragraph 1: On the day before Christmas Eve, we set off to deliver the gifts and food. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As it grew late, we said our goodbyes to the family. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Paragraph 1: On the eve of Christmas, we set off to deliver the gifts and food. The children were excitedly talking, though I could sense the disappointment in their voice. “We’re not going to get our usual presents this year, are we?” Blake asked. “No, Blake,” I replied, “We’re giving these families what they need most, and that’s more important than any material gift.” Upon our arrival, the family greeted us with gratitude and warmth. They invited us inside and showed us their humble shelter. The children soon joined in decorating the tree. It was heartwarming to see how happy my children were. Paragraph 2: As it grew late, we said our goodbyes to the family. The children handed out hugs and kisses, and I could tell our visit had touched Blake and Allison. Their eyes were full of tears that they didn’t let fall. When we arrived home, my children gave me a big hug. A wave of excitement welled in me. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment and pride in my children. This Christmas had taught them the true meaning of kindness and generosity, and I knew they would carry that lesson with them for years to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一个单亲妈妈，为两个孩子准备了圣诞礼物，可是两个孩子却毫不知足。于是作者决定在下一年通过帮助贫困家庭过圣诞节来教育孩子们，培养孩子们尊重自己所拥有的东西和关爱他人的意识。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在圣诞节前夕，我们出发去送礼物和食物。”可知，第一段可描写在路途中和到达目的地后孩子们的所见所思所讲。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着天色渐晚，我们向这家人道别。”可知，第二段可描写经历送礼物事件后，孩子们和作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：兴奋地交谈——到达后受到问候——孩子们加入装饰圣诞树——作者感动——孩子们互相道别——孩子们被感动——回到家——孩子们拥抱作者——作者感到满足和自豪——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①问候：greet/send one’s regards to ②拥抱：give sb. a hug/hold in one’s arms ③感动：move/touch 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/delighted ②感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1]It was heartwarming to see how happy my children were.（运用了how引导宾语从句） [高分句型2]The children were excitedly talking, though I could sense the disappointment in their voice.（运用了though引导让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省扬州中学联培部2023-2024高二上期末考试 英语 满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Welcome to Iceland! I hope that your trip will be pleasant and that __________ will help you during your stay. It includes very important information you might find useful for your travel and we hope you will enjoy it. Iceland is becoming a very popular place to visit all year round and we are not surprised.

Therefore driving in Iceland needs your full care during your stay because we want you back safe and happy. We kindly ask you to help us improve our quality by giving us feedback on how we are doing and what we can do better. Not less importantly, we ask you to help us preserve the Icelandic nature which can be very fragile. Off-road driving is strictly forbidden and please do not litter.

B Oliver’s journey with tai chi began in her early 20s, when she was suffering from a back injury, which left her lying in bed for six months. “As an active youngster at that time, I couldn’t bear resting in bed,” she explained. “My muscles became wasted and stiff(僵直的) for lack of use, and I was often in a lot of pains. So, I felt that some physical exercise would help.” She then discovered tai chi when she spotted by chance a poster advertising classes and decided to try the mysterious and exotic(异国的) sport. Oliver was immediately struck by the gentle and beautiful movements of tai chi, and to her delight, found that her occasional pains disappeared after years of practice. “It not only helps me improve physical strength, but also provides me with many mental benefits, such as improved mood and focus, and less anxiety and depression,” she added. To further understand tai chi and the Chinese philosophy behind it, Oliver decided to begin a journey to China. In 2005, Oliver established the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center, which acts as a bridge for foreign people seeking to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture. The center supports kung fu masters in teaching martial arts(武术) and organizes events for people to experience various aspects of Chinese culture. Apart from her tai chi classes, Oliver now serves as the director of the British Cultural Center at Shanghai University. Reflecting on her work, Oliver said, “For quite many years, my work is actually like a cultural bridge. If you don’t have someone in the middle who is appreciative of all the cultures and have the desire to connect people, then it’s hard for them to get to know each other. I hope I can be the bridge to bring people close together. We need to foster mutual understanding among cultures to promote peaceful relations and friendship across the globe.” 4. Why did Oliver try tai chi? A. To solve a mystery. B. To recover physical state. C. To treat her mental illness. D. To advance her knowledge of China. 5. How was Oliver after practicing tai chi? A. Her well-being improved. B. She became talkative. C. Her pain came less often. D. She became open-minded. 6. What does Oliver mainly do in Shanghai? A. Give kung fu performances. B. Learn Chinese philosophy. C. Bring kung fu masters together. D. Promote cultural exchange. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Try Tai Chi to Relieve Pain B. Tai Chi: a Global Cultural Bridge C. A British Tai Chi Lover Builds Cultural Bridge in China D. Tai Chi Enjoys Great Popularity Around the World C A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much.“I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth, I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,”he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware, I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy(美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition. 8. What did the writer become aware of? A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV. C. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. 9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year? A. The families get together for it. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. C. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day. 10. What’s the writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread? A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Understandable. D. Doubtful. 11. What idea does the writer want to express in this passage? A. It is good to form healthy eating habits. B. Eating habits come from a certain culture. C. Changing your eating habits will change your life. D. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. D A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was torn apart by self-criticism. “I can’t stop beating myself up,” she told me. “I’m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening?” Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe that all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame. We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mind set” research, which has found that praising children for effort will increase academic performance. But a recent analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we should all question a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means they’re lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. It’s suggested that parents and teachers spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest. 12. Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to? A. Those lacking courage to make self-criticism. B. Those tired of working all night in the library. C. Those believing hard work surely pay off. D. Those overprotected by their parents in life. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Praising effort over ability will surely be beneficial to all kids. B. The result of the “mindset” research doesn’t apply to all cases. C. Parents should lay more emphasis on their kids’ academic performance. D. Whether praising kids’ effort over ability does good to kids depends. 14. According to the author, how can parents help the kids overcome barriers in life? A. By choosing where to go to college for them. B. By pushing them to fight against the cruel reality. C. By discouraging them from making efforts to study hard. D. By encouraging them to stick to a worthy cause they truly love. 15. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Students should not expect too much from their study. B. Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily. C. Students should bear all the failures on their own. D. Students are sure to succeed if they try their best. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下列短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years，psychologists have done research on which study habits work best. ____16____ . Here are 4 tips to improve your study habits. Space out your studying Nate Kornell，a psychologist at Williams College，thinks it's a good idea to study the day before a big test. ____17____. Instead，space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it's still full，and you can't add much more water. Allow time between study sessions，and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you'll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session. Practice，practice，practice! Musicians practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. ____18____. "If you want to be able to remember information，the best thing you can do is practice，" says Katherine Rawson. She's a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study，students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test，they scored more than a full letter grade better，on average，than students who studied the way they normally had. Test yourself Nebel's preferred study habit is one of the best ways. Before big tests，Nebel's mom quizzed her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval（检索）practice，”she says. As Nebel got older，she quizzed herself. “____19____，” Nebel suggests. “Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side and try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions，”she adds. Dig deeper It's hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don't push further. Ask why things are a certain way. How did they come about？Why do they matter？Psychologists call this elaboration. It's taking class material and asking a lot of how and why questions about it. This helps you combine new information with other things you know. And it creates a bigger network in your brain of things that relate to one another，she says. ____20____. A. The same should go for learning B. Some tips help for almost every subject C. Of course，nothing can replace studying with your mother D. Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really useful E. That larger network makes it easier to learn and remember things F. Create a pack of flash cards every time you learn new information G. But research shows it's a bad idea to force all your studying into that day 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Back in the days when I was just a young student, I was always absent from school ___21___, too shy to step into the public attention.

I wanted a set of golf clubs and a skateboard! ” My children, Allison and Blake, were filled with disappointment on Christmas morning. They expected fancy presents, but money had been tight since their father passed away. As a single parent, I was doing my best to provide for them, but I could no longer afford our previous lifestyle. I knew we had spoiled them, but I never realized it was this bad. Their reactions shocked and hurt me, but I tried not to show it. “Next year, we’ll be celebrating Christmas differently!” I told them firmly. Over the following months, I planned our next Christmas celebration. I found a family in need, living on a farm about an hour away. The father had lost his job, and they were struggling to make ends meet. As Christmas approached, we carried out our usual traditions of decorating the tree, baking cookies, and singing carols. Yet, there were no gifts under our tree. My children grew curious and asked where the presents were. Then I explained that we would be giving gifts to a family that truly needed them. They needed to see what it was like to need essentials such as clothing and food. We went shopping to purchase essential items like coats, hats, gloves, socks, and shoes for the family. We also selected age-appropriate toys for their children. Next, we headed to the grocery store and filled our carts with everything they would need for a delicious Christmas dinner. We even bought extra items to help them through the winter. Blake and Allison didn’t seem thrilled by the situation, but I hoped they were reflecting on their attitudes from the previous Christmas. I had a couple of gifts hidden in my closet, ready to reward them if they showed respect and kindness. 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。 Paragraph 1: On the day before Christmas Eve, we set off to deliver the gifts and food. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As it grew late, we said our goodbyes to the family. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
