B While poor air quality is widely known to damage our lungs, recent scientific findings suggest it could also explain why an increasing number of children need glasses. Scientists have discovered that youngsters tend to maintain healthier vision in environments with reduced air pollutants. The researchers focus specifically on myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. It has truly become a severe health crisis across East Asia. In China, for example, over 80% of adolescents suffer from this vision issue by the time they graduate from high school. Furthermore, 10% of teens experience extreme nearsightedness. Historically, genetics, routines, and diet were considered primary causes. “However, our latest research confirms a direct connection between air pollution and childhood myopia,” notes Zongbo Shi from the University of Birmingham. His team examined comprehensive personal, medical, and environmental data — including smog levels — from nearly 30,000 students in Tianjin, China. But exactly what happens to youngsters’ eyes when they breathe in polluted air? Paul Foster, an eye specialist at University College London, explains the potential mechanism. “Exposure to toxic air might lead to the narrowing of blood vessels within the retina (视网膜) — the crucial layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyeball,” he says. Consequently, this physical change significantly increases the likelihood of youngsters developing nearsightedness. Admittedly, this research has certain limitations. For instance, it depended heavily on self-reported data, which can sometimes be unreliable. Moreover, scientists measured pollution exposure based on air quality around campuses, ignoring the fact that children don’t remain at school all day, much less on weekends. Nevertheless, the investigation offers a promising direction for protecting youngsters’ eyesight. Ultimately, breathing purer air might just mean sharper vision for children globally. 4. What causes nearsightedness in children according to the new study? A. Lack of a proper diet. B. Improper use of eyes. C. Exposure to air pollution. D. Problems with genetics. 5. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the urgency of the issue. B. To compare the vision of the youth. C. To prove the cause of poor eyesight. D. To explain the process of vision loss. 6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What causes nearsightedness in children. B. What leads to the problems in the retina. C. How sensitive children are to air pollution. D. How air pollution causes nearsightedness. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards the study? A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful. C Can music help you concentrate at work? Researchers from the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff conducted a new study, and it has some interesting results. The research examined the ability of 25 people, aged 18 to 30, to remember information while listening to different sounds. In one task they had to remember a list of eight consonant (辅音) letters, which were dictated (听写) to them. Participants in the study were tested under three different conditions: in a quiet environment, while listening to music they liked, and while listening to music they didn’t like. The participants generally did better when they were working in silence. The background music seemed to make memorization and recall more difficult. However, scientists also found that listening to music before doing the tests seemed to help concentration. “Despite describing their self-selected music as more pleasant, their performance was poor, just as it was when they listened to music they disliked,” explained one of the researchers. So, even if you’re listening to music you like, it’ll still affect your work. This would appear to disagree with the findings of scientists who have researched what is popularly known as the “Mozart Effect”. This concept was invented by French scientist Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis in 1991. Tomatis published a book, Why Mozart?, which described what he believed were the healing powers of listening to Mozart’s music. He also suggested that Mozart’s music could aid brain development. Later studies indicated it might enhance children’s spatial intelligence, leading to a widespread belief that classical music could boost a child’s IQ. The governor of the state of Georgia even once suggested giving out over $100,000 annually to supply classical CDs to every newborn in the state. Another study seemed to further go against the idea that music could help with concentration. The researchers found that surveyed university students mostly preferred studying in silence. Those listening to music preferred instrumental songs, saying that lyrics are disturbing. So, if you’re studying for an exam, turn off your music! 8. According to the text, the new study by the University of Wales Institute ______. A. tested participants’ ability under four different conditions B. required participants to memorize seven consonant letters C. divided the participants into three age groups D. assessed 25 adults aged 18 to 30 on memory skills 9. What can be inferred about the “Mozart Effect”? A. It only works for children under 18. B. It was first discovered by a governor. C. It may have been overstressed by the public. D. It has been proven to improve adult intelligence. 10. What does the author imply about background music? A. It best aids creative work. B. Its effects are not matched across studies. C. It enhances performance in concentration tasks. D. It affects people differently based on preference. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To prove that Mozart’s music promotes IQ. B. To recommend the best music for studying. C. To compare different types of background sounds. D. To show that silence is better for concentration than music. D In a crowded subway, Alaina Demopoulos was immersed in her book when a passenger’s ironic comment broke her concentration,“I wish I had your confidence doing this in public.” While Demopoulos’s engagement was genuine, the comment highlighted a widespread trend: performative reading — acts of public reading motivated not by simple personal enjoyment, but by a desire for intentional social display. “You can still observe people reading physical books on subway,” says Emily Foster, a cultural analyst at the Urban Communication Institute.“But our recent study shows that 68% of commuters(通勤者) choose to read in part for how it might be seen by others.” This behavior, she explains, is driven by the influence of social media, which encourages individuals to increasingly curate their personal image in every public place. In this trend, a book, traditionally a source of knowledge, becomes a carefully picked fashion item, allowing readers to silently present their interests and cultural preferences,even though the primary motivation may often be an urge to appear smart and cultured. However, this public performance of reading still generates measurable social benefits.“Simply seeing people engage with serious books in public makes reading seem more common and accepted,”noted Foster, who views this return of print books to public spaces as a positive development. This increased visibility not only promotes conversations about literature but also leads to more book recommendations among commuters, creating informal learning opportunities and finally fostering a broader cultural appreciation for reading throughout the community. Last month, a non-profit organization placed public service advertisements in over 20 subway stations, aiming to inspire passengers to“Dive into a Book”. For those inspired to begin their own public reading journey, the key is simply to focus on personal growth rather than public performance. By choosing material they genuinely enjoy, readers can find a balance between personal satisfaction and the identity they wish to show. 12. When does a person engage in performative reading? A. When reading for personal enjoyment. B. When aiming to impress others publicly. C. When choosing to read during travel time. D. When showing genuine engagement in reading. 13. Which word can best replace the underlined word“curate” in Paragraph 2? A. Shape. B. Mask. C. Simplify. D. Monitor. 14. How does Emily Foster view the public reading trend? A. She sees it as a problematic act in public. B. She recognizes its valuable social impact. C. She stresses personal reading satisfaction. D. She views it as a sign of spreading personal image 15. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Choose books according to their popularity. B. Put inner fulfillment before social impression. C. Balance personal growth with public performance. D. Read books recommended by non-profit organizations. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2. 5分，共12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Many people avoid voicing their problems when disagreements arise, because they worry it may damage a relationship or create tension. ____16____ What truly matters is how people deal with it. When handled well, it can lead to better understanding and stronger relationships. The following strategies can help make difficult conversations less stressful and more effective. Prepare before you speak. One of the hardest parts of handling conflict is figuring out exactly what to say. Try writing down your feelings first. ____17____ As a result, you are more likely to communicate clearly rather than lead emotionally. Give the other person advance notice. Try to start the conversation with something as simple as “Can I bring up something on my mind?” This gives the other person a chance to be mentally prepared. Meanwhile, you can also calm down and gather your thoughts. ____18____ ____19____ People are more likely to listen when they feel respected. Rather than focusing only on someone’s faults and failures, recognize the other person’s strengths as well. For instance, tell a friend you appreciate their support very much but feel hurt about their constant dishonesty. Such an approach prevents them from becoming instantly defensive. Focus on the issue rather than the person. Once you start attacking someone’s character, the discussion can quickly turn into a battle of blame. ____20____ This way, the other person is more likely to hear you out and respond positively. Difficult conversations are rarely comfortable. Yet avoiding them often creates even bigger problems. Just remember: real closeness often grows from working through disagreements together — not running from them. A. Cover faults with praises. B. Balance criticism with appreciation. C. It takes time and effort to resolve conflicts. D. However, disagreement itself is not necessarily harmful. E. Instead, point out a specific behavior that needs to change. F. Conversations are usually more productive when both sides feel ready. G. The goal is to release bottled-up emotions and identify the real concerns. 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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I laid another graded paper on the pile.

Paul Foster, an eye specialist at University College London, explains the potential mechanism. “Exposure to toxic air might lead to the narrowing of blood vessels within the retina (视网膜) — the crucial layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyeball,” he says. Consequently, this physical change significantly increases the likelihood of youngsters developing nearsightedness. Admittedly, this research has certain limitations. For instance, it depended heavily on self-reported data, which can sometimes be unreliable. Moreover, scientists measured pollution exposure based on air quality around campuses, ignoring the fact that children don’t remain at school all day, much less on weekends. Nevertheless, the investigation offers a promising direction for protecting youngsters’ eyesight. Ultimately, breathing purer air might just mean sharper vision for children globally. 4. What causes nearsightedness in children according to the new study? A. Lack of a proper diet. B. Improper use of eyes. C. Exposure to air pollution. D. Problems with genetics. 5. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 2? A. To stress the urgency of the issue. B. To compare the vision of the youth. C. To prove the cause of poor eyesight. D. To explain the process of vision loss. 6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What causes nearsightedness in children. B. What leads to the problems in the retina. C. How sensitive children are to air pollution. D. How air pollution causes nearsightedness. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards the study? A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了研究发现空气污染会诱发儿童近视，文中介绍致病机理，也指出研究存在缺陷，但该研究为保护青少年视力提供新思路。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists have discovered that youngsters tend to maintain healthier vision in environments with reduced air pollutants.(科学家发现，儿童在空气污染物较少的环境中往往能保持更健康的视力。)”以及第三段中““However, our latest research confirms a direct connection between air pollution and childhood myopia,” notes Zongbo Shi from the University of Birmingham.(“然而，我们最新的研究证实了空气污染与儿童近视之间存在直接关联，”伯明翰大学的石宗博（音译）指出。)”可知，新研究证实了空气污染与儿童近视之间存在直接关联：在污染物更少的环境中，儿童视力更健康。因此暴露于空气污染是该研究指出的儿童近视诱因。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The researchers focus specifically on myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. It has truly become a severe health crisis across East Asia. In China, for example, over 80% of adolescents suffer from this vision issue by the time they graduate from high school. Furthermore, 10% of teens experience extreme nearsightedness.(研究人员特别关注近视问题，即俗称的“近视”。这一问题在东亚地区已演变为严重的健康危机。例如，在中国，超过80%的青少年在高中毕业时都会出现这种视力问题。此外，约10%的青少年患有高近视。)”可知，第二段先点明近视已成为东亚严重的健康危机，随后用中国青少年的近视率数据进行佐证，列举数字的核心目的是凸显问题的严重性与紧迫性，引出后文对成因的探究。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“But exactly what happens to youngsters’ eyes when they breathe in polluted air? Paul Foster, an eye specialist at University College London, explains the potential mechanism. “Exposure to toxic air might lead to the narrowing of blood vessels within the retina (视网膜) — the crucial layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyeball,” he says. Consequently, this physical change significantly increases the likelihood of youngsters developing nearsightedness.(但是，当青少年吸入被污染的空气时，他们的眼睛会发生什么变化呢？伦敦大学学院的眼科专家保罗·福斯特解释了可能的机制。“接触有毒空气可能导致视网膜内血管变窄——视网膜是眼球后光感细胞的关键层，”他说。因此，这种生理变化显著增加了儿童患近视的可能性。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是空气污染引发近视的作用原理。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Admittedly, this research has certain limitations. For instance, it depended heavily on self-reported data, which can sometimes be unreliable. Moreover, scientists measured pollution exposure based on air quality around campuses, ignoring the fact that children don’t remain at school all day, much less on weekends. Nevertheless, the investigation offers a promising direction for protecting youngsters’ eyesight.(当然，这项研究也存在一些局限性。例如，它很大程度上依赖于自我报告的数据，而这些数据有时可能不可靠。此外，科学家根据校园周边的空气质量来测量污染暴露情况，却忽略了儿童并非全天待在学校，更不用说周末了。尽管如此，这项研究为保护儿童视力提供了有希望的方向。)”可知，作者先客观指出研究存在数据依赖自我报告、污染测量范围有局限等不足，随后通过转折强调该研究为保护儿童视力提供了有前景的方向，整体态度以肯定、支持为主。 C Can music help you concentrate at work? Researchers from the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff conducted a new study, and it has some interesting results. The research examined the ability of 25 people, aged 18 to 30, to remember information while listening to different sounds. In one task they had to remember a list of eight consonant (辅音) letters, which were dictated (听写) to them. Participants in the study were tested under three different conditions: in a quiet environment, while listening to music they liked, and while listening to music they didn’t like. The participants generally did better when they were working in silence. The background music seemed to make memorization and recall more difficult. However, scientists also found that listening to music before doing the tests seemed to help concentration. “Despite describing their self-selected music as more pleasant, their performance was poor, just as it was when they listened to music they disliked,” explained one of the researchers. So, even if you’re listening to music you like, it’ll still affect your work. This would appear to disagree with the findings of scientists who have researched what is popularly known as the “Mozart Effect”. This concept was invented by French scientist Dr. Alfred A. Tomatis in 1991. Tomatis published a book, Why Mozart?, which described what he believed were the healing powers of listening to Mozart’s music. He also suggested that Mozart’s music could aid brain development. Later studies indicated it might enhance children’s spatial intelligence, leading to a widespread belief that classical music could boost a child’s IQ. The governor of the state of Georgia even once suggested giving out over $100,000 annually to supply classical CDs to every newborn in the state. Another study seemed to further go against the idea that music could help with concentration. The researchers found that surveyed university students mostly preferred studying in silence. Those listening to music preferred instrumental songs, saying that lyrics are disturbing. So, if you’re studying for an exam, turn off your music! 8. According to the text, the new study by the University of Wales Institute ______. A. tested participants’ ability under four different conditions B. required participants to memorize seven consonant letters C. divided the participants into three age groups D. assessed 25 adults aged 18 to 30 on memory skills 9. What can be inferred about the “Mozart Effect”? A. It only works for children under 18. B. It was first discovered by a governor. C. It may have been overstressed by the public. D. It has been proven to improve adult intelligence. 10. What does the author imply about background music? A. It best aids creative work. B. Its effects are not matched across studies. C. It enhances performance in concentration tasks. D. It affects people differently based on preference. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To prove that Mozart’s music promotes IQ. B. To recommend the best music for studying. C. To compare different types of background sounds. D. To show that silence is better for concentration than music. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，工作时播放音乐会干扰专注与记忆，安静环境效果更佳。该结论与“莫扎特效应”相悖，多数学生也偏爱安静学习，文章建议学习时关掉音乐。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The research examined the ability of 25 people, aged 18 to 30, to remember information while listening to different sounds.(该研究考察了25名年龄在18至30岁之间的参与者在聆听不同声音时的记忆能力)”可知，威尔士大学研究所的新研究对25名年龄在18至30岁之间的成年人进行了记忆力能力的测试。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Later studies indicated it might enhance children’s spatial intelligence, leading to a widespread belief that classical music could boost a child’s IQ. The governor of the state of Georgia even once suggested giving out over $100,000 annually to supply classical CDs to every newborn in the state.(后来的研究表明，古典音乐可能会提高儿童的空间智力，这导致人们普遍认为古典音乐可以提高儿童的智商。佐治亚州州长甚至曾建议每年拿出10万美元，为该州的每个新生儿提供古典音乐CD)”可知，关于“莫扎特效应”我们可以推断出它可能被公众过度夸大了。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The participants generally did better when they were working in silence. The background music seemed to make memorization and recall more difficult. However, scientists also found that listening to music before doing the tests seemed to help concentration.(参与者在安静的环境中工作时表现通常更好。背景音乐似乎使记忆和回忆变得更加困难。然而，科学家们还发现，在进行测试前听音乐似乎有助于集中注意力)”、第五段中“Tomatis published a book, Why Mozart?, which described what he believed were the healing powers of listening to Mozart’s music. He also suggested that Mozart’s music could aid brain development.(托马蒂出版了一本书《为何是莫扎特？》，书中阐述了他认为聆听莫扎特音乐所具有的治愈功效。他还提出，莫扎特的音乐有助于大脑发育)”以及倒数第二段中“The researchers found that surveyed university students mostly preferred studying in silence. Those listening to music preferred instrumental songs, saying that lyrics are disturbing.(研究人员发现，接受调查的大学生大多更喜欢在安静的环境中学习。而那些听音乐的学生则更喜欢纯音乐，称歌词会分散注意力)”可推知，不同研究对背景音乐的效果得出了完全相反的结论，说明其效果在不同研究中并不一致。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文以及最后一段“So, if you’re studying for an exam, turn off your music!(所以，如果你正在备考，那就关掉音乐吧！)”可知，文章以“音乐能否帮助人集中注意力”开篇，通过核心实验证明安静环境下人的记忆、专注效果更好；又对比争议颇多的“莫扎特效应”，结合大学生的调研进一步佐证观点，文末直接呼吁学习时关掉音乐。由此可知，这篇文章的主要目的是表明安静比音乐更能有助于集中注意力。 D In a crowded subway, Alaina Demopoulos was immersed in her book when a passenger’s ironic comment broke her concentration,“I wish I had your confidence doing this in public.” While Demopoulos’s engagement was genuine, the comment highlighted a widespread trend: performative reading — acts of public reading motivated not by simple personal enjoyment, but by a desire for intentional social display. “You can still observe people reading physical books on subway,” says Emily Foster, a cultural analyst at the Urban Communication Institute.“But our recent study shows that 68% of commuters(通勤者) choose to read in part for how it might be seen by others.” This behavior, she explains, is driven by the influence of social media, which encourages individuals to increasingly curate their personal image in every public place. In this trend, a book, traditionally a source of knowledge, becomes a carefully picked fashion item, allowing readers to silently present their interests and cultural preferences,even though the primary motivation may often be an urge to appear smart and cultured. However, this public performance of reading still generates measurable social benefits.“Simply seeing people engage with serious books in public makes reading seem more common and accepted,”noted Foster, who views this return of print books to public spaces as a positive development. This increased visibility not only promotes conversations about literature but also leads to more book recommendations among commuters, creating informal learning opportunities and finally fostering a broader cultural appreciation for reading throughout the community. Last month, a non-profit organization placed public service advertisements in over 20 subway stations, aiming to inspire passengers to“Dive into a Book”. For those inspired to begin their own public reading journey, the key is simply to focus on personal growth rather than public performance. By choosing material they genuinely enjoy, readers can find a balance between personal satisfaction and the identity they wish to show. 12. When does a person engage in performative reading? A. When reading for personal enjoyment. B. When aiming to impress others publicly. C. When choosing to read during travel time. D. When showing genuine engagement in reading. 13. Which word can best replace the underlined word“curate” in Paragraph 2? A. Shape. B. Mask. C. Simplify. D. Monitor. 14. How does Emily Foster view the public reading trend? A. She sees it as a problematic act in public. B. She recognizes its valuable social impact. C. She stresses personal reading satisfaction. D. She views it as a sign of spreading personal image 15. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Choose books according to their popularity. B. Put inner fulfillment before social impression. C. Balance personal growth with public performance. D. Read books recommended by non-profit organizations. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要探讨了“表演式阅读”现象，不少人当众读书只为塑造文雅形象，但此举有积极社会价值，作者建议阅读应重在自我提升而非刻意展示。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“While Demopoulos’s engagement was genuine, the comment highlighted a widespread trend: performative reading——acts of public reading motivated not by simple personal enjoyment, but by a desire for intentional social display.( 尽管德莫普洛斯的阅读态度是真诚的，但这句话揭示了一个普遍现象：表演式阅读——即并非出于单纯的个人乐趣，而是为了刻意展示社交形象而进行的公开阅读行为。)”可知，“表演式阅读”的核心动机不是单纯的个人享受，而是刻意进行社交展示，即希望在公众面前给他人留下印象、塑造自身形象。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“This behavior, she explains, is driven by the influence of social media, which encourages individuals to increasingly .. their personal image in every public place.( 她解释说，这种行为是由社交媒体的影响所驱动的，社交媒体鼓励人们越来越多地在每个公共场所……自己的个人形象。)”可知，curate 本义为“精心策划、打理”，句中搭配“个人形象”，表示人们在社交媒体影响下，会在公共场合精心塑造自己的对外形象。A选项shape意为“塑造、打造”，语义最贴合。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, this public performance of reading still generates measurable social benefits. Simply seeing people engage with serious books in public makes reading seem more common and accepted,” noted Foster, who views this return of print books to public spaces as a positive development.( 然而，这种公开的阅读表演仍带来了可观的社会效益。“仅仅看到人们在公共场所阅读严肃书籍，就让阅读显得更加普遍和被接受。”福斯特指出，她认为纸质书籍重新回归公共空间是一种积极的发展。)”可知，艾米丽·福斯特认为这种公共阅读趋势能带来显著社会效益：让阅读更普遍、更易被接受，促进文学交流与书籍推荐，最终培养社群的阅读文化。可见她认可这一趋势具备积极的社会价值。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For those inspired to begin their own public reading journey, the key is simply to focus on personal growth rather than public performance. By choosing material they genuinely enjoy, readers can find a balance between personal satisfaction and the identity they wish to show.( 对于那些希望开启公开阅读之旅的人而言，关键在于专注于个人成长，而非公众表现。通过选择真正喜爱的内容，读者能够在个人满足感与展示自我身份之间找到平衡。)”可知，作者在最后一段给出核心建议：公共阅读的关键是专注个人成长，而非公开表演；选择自己真正喜爱的读物，在此基础上实现个人满足与形象展示的平衡，本质是将内在满足放在社交印象之前。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2. 5分，共12. 5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Many people avoid voicing their problems when disagreements arise, because they worry it may damage a relationship or create tension. ____16____ What truly matters is how people deal with it. When handled well, it can lead to better understanding and stronger relationships. The following strategies can help make difficult conversations less stressful and more effective. Prepare before you speak. One of the hardest parts of handling conflict is figuring out exactly what to say. Try writing down your feelings first. ____17____ As a result, you are more likely to communicate clearly rather than lead emotionally. Give the other person advance notice. Try to start the conversation with something as simple as “Can I bring up something on my mind?” This gives the other person a chance to be mentally prepared. Meanwhile, you can also calm down and gather your thoughts. ____18____ ____19____ People are more likely to listen when they feel respected. Rather than focusing only on someone’s faults and failures, recognize the other person’s strengths as well. For instance, tell a friend you appreciate their support very much but feel hurt about their constant dishonesty. Such an approach prevents them from becoming instantly defensive. Focus on the issue rather than the person. Once you start attacking someone’s character, the discussion can quickly turn into a battle of blame. ____20____ This way, the other person is more likely to hear you out and respond positively. Difficult conversations are rarely comfortable. Yet avoiding them often creates even bigger problems. Just remember: real closeness often grows from working through disagreements together — not running from them. A. Cover faults with praises. B. Balance criticism with appreciation. C. It takes time and effort to resolve conflicts. D. However, disagreement itself is not necessarily harmful. E. Instead, point out a specific behavior that needs to change. F. Conversations are usually more productive when both sides feel ready. G. The goal is to release bottled-up emotions and identify the real concerns. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了妥善处理分歧的几个策略。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many people avoid voicing their problems when disagreements arise, because they worry it may damage a relationship or create tension.(许多人避免在意见不合时表达问题，因为他们担心这可能破坏关系或制造紧张氛围)”以及下文“What truly matters is how people deal with it. (真正重要的是人们如何应对)”并结合下文介绍妥善处理分歧的几个策略可知，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，D项“However, disagreement itself is not necessarily harmful.(然而，分歧本身未必是有害的)”中的disagreement对应上文的disagreements，deal with引出下文的策略。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One of the hardest parts of handling conflict is figuring out exactly what to say. Try writing down your feelings first. (处理冲突最困难的部分之一就是弄清楚该说什么。试着先写下你的感受)”以及下文“As a result, you are more likely to communicate clearly rather than lead emotionally.(因此，你更有可能清晰地沟通，而不是被情绪主导)”可知，此处应指明弄清楚自己想要说什么在处理分歧中的目的，G项“The goal is to release bottled-up emotions and identify the real concerns.(目的是释放积压的情绪，并找出真正的顾虑)”符合题意。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Try to start the conversation with something as simple as “Can I bring up something on my mind?” This gives the other person a chance to be mentally prepared. Meanwhile, you can also calm down and gather your thoughts. (试着用“我能提一些我想说的事情吗？”这样简单的话开始谈话，这给了对方一个做好心理准备的机会。同时，你也可以冷静下来，梳理你的思路)”可知，此处总结上文，说明以友好、礼貌性的话语开始谈话的好处，F项“Conversations are usually more productive when both sides feel ready.(当双方都做好准备时，对话通常会更有成效)”点明了这种谈话方式的积极作用。 【19题详解】 根据下文中的“People are more likely to listen when they feel respected. Rather than focusing only on someone’s faults and failures, recognize the other person’s strengths as well. (当人们感到受到尊重时，他们更有可能倾听。不要只关注某人的缺点和失败，也要认识到对方的优点)”可知，本段的主旨是处理分歧时，不要一味地批评，要欣赏对方的优点，故B项“Balance criticism with appreciation.(平衡批评与欣赏)”适合作本段小标题。 【20题详解】 根据本段小标题“Focus on the issue rather than the person.(对事不对人)”并结合上文“Once you start attacking someone’s character, the discussion can quickly turn into a battle of blame.  (一旦你开始攻击某人的人品，这场讨论就会迅速演变成一场互相指责的较量)”以及下文“This way, the other person is more likely to hear you out and respond positively.(这样，对方更有可能听你把话说完并做出积极的回应)”可知，此处应举例说明对事不对人的具体做法，故E项“Instead, point out a specific behavior that needs to change.(相反，指出需要改变的特定行为）”是一个具体的例子。其中，Instead与上文形成转折，引出“对事不对人”的正确做法。 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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I laid another graded paper on the pile.
