B “I didn’t like the ending,” I said to my favorite college professor. It was my junior year of undergraduate, and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature. I had just finished reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot, and I was heartbroken with the ending. Prof. Gracie, with all his patience, asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not. He suggested I think about the difference between endings that I wanted for the characters and endings that were right for the characters, endings that satisfied the story even if they didn’t have a traditionally positive outcome. Of course, I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver, but the ending they got did make the most sense for them. This was an aha moment for me, and I never thought about endings the same way again. From then on, if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy, I’d pick up a love romance. If I wanted an ending I couldn’t guess, I’d pick up a mystery (悬疑小说). One where I kind of knew what was going to happen, historical fiction. Choosing what to read became easier. But writing the end — that’s hard. It’s hard for writers because endings carry so much weight with readers. You have to balance creating an ending that’s unpredictable, but doesn’t seem to come from nowhere, one that fits what’s right for the characters. That’s why this issue (期) of Writer’s Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best ending for whatever kind of writing you’re doing. If it’s short stories, Peter Mountford breaks down six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing. Elizabeth Sims analyzes the final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for your work. This issue won’t tell you what your ending should be — that’s up to you and the story you’re telling — but it might provide what you need to get there. 24. Why did the author go to Prof. Gracie? A. To discuss a novel. B. To submit a book report. C. To argue for a writer. D. To ask for a reading list. 25. What did the author realize after seeing Prof. Gracie? A. Writing is a matter of personal preferences. B. Readers are often carried away by characters. C. Each type of literature has its unique ending. D. A story which begins well will end well. 26. What is expected of a good ending? A. It is usually positive. B. It satisfies readers’ taste. C. It is open for imagination. D. It fits with the story development. 27. Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims? A. To recommend their new books. B. To stress the theme of this issue. C. To give examples of great novelists. D. To encourage writing for the magazine. C Forgetting is a fact of life that many people find frustrating. But growing evidence pushes back at the belief that a slip or escape in our recollection is evidently bad. Indeed, forgetting can sometimes help people cope psychologically or let go of useless knowledge. In a new study, neuroscientist Tomas Ryan of Trinity College Dubli and his colleagues have examined the fundamental biology underlying a form of forgetting we experience every day. Their work suggests that when we can’t recall an old phone number or a high school teacher’s name, those details are not necessarily lost. As Ryan explained to Mind Matters editor Daisy Yuhas, forgetting may be an active process that the brain uses to support learning. He also discussed how dementia (痴呆) may ultimately affect disordered forgetting more than lost memories. You study an idea that some people may find counter-intuitive (反直觉的): forgetting can be part of learning. How so? We often think of forgetting as a loss of the brain power or a limitation. Memory loss from dementia or brain injury, for example, can be devastating. But we also experience “everyday forgetting” as we go about our lives because there’s just so much going on. We’re expected to learn and retain many things in order to function in modern society. Some are quite arbitrary, such as having to memorize facts you’ll never need again for school exams. Others are not so arbitrary but are still quite demanding, such as the knowledge you build to become a practicing doctor. Although we may think of forgetting as a trouble, and it often is, it could be a feature of the brain rather than a bug. A growing body of research in neuroscience is studying the idea that forgetting is adaptive rather than limiting. So forgetting comes in many forms? There are different kinds that people generally consider distinct. We may use the word amnesia (健忘症) for a kind of forgetting that most people would agree is neither adaptive nor beneficial. Some forms of amnesia make it difficult to form new memories while others make it difficult to recall memories formed before an injury. 28. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By defining a concept. B. By presenting a study result. C. By making comparison. D. By giving an example. 29. What does the author agree in the passage? A. Dementia mainly results in lost memories. B. Forgetting means imperfection of the brain. C. It’s terrible that the best friend’s name escapes me. D. The knowledge you need to be a teacher is not arbitrary. 30. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs? A. Scientists think forgetting limits our life. B. Neuroscientists are researching the adaptive role of forgetting. C. People would agree that amnesia is harmful in most condition. D. Amnesia definitely makes it challenging to recollect memories. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To explain the reasons of forgetting. B. To present the process of forgetting. C. To emphasize the benefits of forgetting. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of forgetting. D Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you’re able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed. Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That’s why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don’t usually like. Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that’s been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it’s been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it! 32. What can be learned about cats’ meowing from the first paragraph? A. It’s a survival skill. B. It’s taught by mother cats. C. It’s hard to interpret. D. It’s getting louder with age. 33. How does a pet cat assess different situations? A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects. C. By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats. 34. Which best explains the phrase “take … up notch” in paragraph 3? A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There is one answer. 36 . In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks. ●Practice gratitude (感激) Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 37 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. ●Make yourself wait Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run.

Always 23, regardless of topic or term. Every time Sumi heard that nickname, it caused her concern. When Sumi stayed with her friends, their discussion nearly always turned to their children. You know how it goes — one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about math Olympiads or leadership responsibilities. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all Sumi could think about was Anna and her unpleasant nickname, Number 23. Sumi had done everything to help Anna with school-hired professional tutors, bought fancy stationery, even packed brain food. And Anna tried. She gave up sketching, paper cutouts, and many others. She moved from one class to another, endlessly trying. But then the indicators started showing — she lost her appetite, couldn’t sleep, and sweated all the time. Eventually, she got terribly sick. That was when Sumi gave in. She stopped pressing and Anna bounced back to being the cheery little child they knew. One day, Sumi and her friends went on a weekend trip with their families. During lunch, two kids got into a heated quarrel over a single slice of dessert. No one could calm them down. Then Anna stepped in. “Let’s flip (抛) a coin,” she said. Simple as that. Boom-problem solved. Everyone was astonished. Later, on the journey back, they got delayed in traffic. The kids were getting restless. Anna? She started delivering jokes like a big sister. Even the adults laughed. Then she took the leftover candy boxes and started changing them into animals-paper elephants, lions, and birds. Before everyone said goodbye, she presented one to each youngster as a gift. The other parents were shining with appreciation. For the first time in years, Sumi felt something well up in her chest-pride. 注意： 1．续写字数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Para.1: Not long after, Sumi got a phone call from Anna’s class teacher. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2: That afternoon, Anna returned home, the Class Star certificate in hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
