Better yet, you can make it at home. You’ll need ·2 teaspoons of vinegar (醋) ·Measuring cup ·Whole milk (not nonfat or low-fat) ·Pan ·Stove ·Adult helper 1. Pour 2 cups (500ml) of milk into the pan. 2. Ask the adult to heat the pan slowly on the stove (火炉). 3. Just before the milk boils, bubbles will start to appear on its surface. 4. When that happens, slowly stir (搅拌) in 2 teaspoons of vinegar. 5. Keep stirring until the milk becomes rubbery (橡胶状的) and hard to move. 6. When the milk is completely cool, scrape the solid from the pan, squeeze it into a ball and rinse (冲洗) it under cool running water. 25. You may need ________ to do this experiment. A. low-fat milk B. a teaspoon C. plastic D. glue 26. We should put the following step “Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.” before ________. A. Step 3 B. Step 4 C. Step 5 D. Step 6 27. The passage is most probably written for ________. A. teenagers B. teachers C. researchers D. parents B When you go to Australia, you can always hear something like this, “I am dead set against the plan!” What does the speaker mean by saying it? It’s an Australian slang (俚语), which means the speaker doesn’t agree with the plan strongly. Australia is famous for its interesting and unusual slang. Even native English-speakers visiting Australia can have trouble understanding the locals because of their accents (口音) and the expressions they use. But some Australian slang expressions are used all over the world. Selfie The popularity of social media and smartphones has made selfie a very common English word. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries made it the “Word of the Year”, and the US has a National Selfie Day. But selfie was a part of Australian English long before it became popular in other countries. The earliest known use was in 2002 when an Australian college student posted a photo that he had taken of himself online, calling it a selfie. The student, Nathan Hope, told ABC News that he didn’t make the word, but rather “it was just common slang in Australia at the time.” Stoked To be stoked is to be really happy or pleased. For example, you might say “I’m stoked!” if you’re excited about your holiday plans. Along with other expressions, such as ripper, which means“very good” or“great”, stoked was first used by Australians in the 1960s and 1970s. No worries “No worries” is a common reply to “thank you”. For example, James, “Thanks for helping me.” Jessica, “No worries.” So the next time someone thanks you, instead of “you’re welcome”, you can say “no worries” and they’ll know that you’re speaking Australian English. 28. How does the writer start the passage? A. By listing numbers. B. By showing pictures. C. By comparing (对比) facts. D. By asking questions. 29. What does the underlined word “stoked” mean in Paragraph 6? A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Interested. D. Worried. 30. Your football team won last Friday. What would your Australian friend say to you? A. No selfies. B. You little ripper. C. No worries. D. Dead set against the team. C Though Sylvia had grown up among tall buildings and busy streets, she had recently found herself more at home in the Maine countryside, where she had come to help her aging grandmother. She let the cow out to walk in the nearby fields every morning and led it back home in the evenings, staying with the woods and her animal neighbours every day. One evening, when Sylvia walked back home from the fields, she saw a stranger coming out of the forest. When the man reached her, he explained that he was quite interested in collecting rare birds and was searching for the white heron (苍鹭) nesting (筑巢) in the area according to his book. He asked if he could stay at her house. Though Sylvia was a little bit worried, she led him to her grandmother. Over dinner, Sylvia’s grandmother told the man how her son had loved making friends with animals while he enjoyed living in the wild and that Sylvia was just the same. On hearing the news, the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron, telling her that he planned to shoot (打猎) and put it into his collection. Sylvia knew her grandmother had little savings, so she accepted. The next day, Sylvia and the man searched the forest for the white heron, but they came back empty-handed. At first, Sylvia was afraid of the man’s shooting and collection plan. With some time passing by, she was surprised to find that he was a person with a warm heart and rich knowledge of birds. The two led the cow home together in the afternoon. Just before bed, Sylvia remembered that one tree in the forest stood taller than the rest. If she managed to climb it, she would surely find the heron’s nest below. The thought made her so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She finally got out of the house in the early morning to find the heron before the man awoke. Reaching the top of the tree was a success in itself, but nothing was more amazing than the moment Sylvia truly saw the heron. High as a bird, she felt she and the heron were one, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death. The man was waiting for her when she returned home, but she refused to help him any longer. Later, Sylvia wondered whether giving up the money — and the man’s friendship — was really worth (值得) the heron’s life, but the treasures she might have gained were easily forgotten among the beauty of the wild. —Synopsis (摘要) of A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett 31. According to the passage, Sylvia is ________ and the bird collector is ________. A. weak; strong B. good; bad C. kind; social D. excited; calm 32. Which is the right order according to the story? ①Sylvia thought of the tallest tree at night. ②Grandmother showed a warm welcome. ③Sylvia knew more about the bird collector. ④Bird collector offered money to get help. A. ③①②④ B. ①②④③ C. ②④③① D. ④③①② 33. What can we infer from the story? A. Many people wanted the white heron. B. Sylvia decided to protect the white heron. C. Sylvia’s father was also a bird collector. D. The man became quite angry with Sylvia. D IS SUCCESS ABOUT LEARNING—OR SHOWING YOU’RE SMART? Benjamin once said, “I don’t divide (分) the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures. I divide the world into the learners and nonlearners.” What would make someone a nonlearner? Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn. Babies practise their skills daily, even the most difficult tasks of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never think it’s too hard. Babies don’t worry about making mistakes. They walk, they fall and they get up. They just move forward. What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart. I have studied thousands of students, and you can’t believe how many people refuse a chance to learn. We offered four-year-olds a choice (选择): They could red o an easy task or they could try a harder one. Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset—stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said. So children with the fixed mindset want to make sure they are successful. Smart people should always be successful. But for children with the growth mindset, success is about practising themselves. It’s about learning to become smarter. One seventh-grade girl made a conclusion.“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.” 34. What does the writer want to tell by using the example of babies in Paragraph 2? A. Walking and talking are very difficult. B. It’s easy for babies to learn different skills. C. People are born with abilities to learn. D. Babies need to face many tasks every day. 35. Which of the following is a fixed mindset according to the passage? A. Being happy with his own growth. B. Working hard and being thirsty to learn. C. Avoiding showing how smart he is. D. Being afraid of facing different failures. 36. What does the girl mean by saying “I’m dying to solve them!”? A. She can’t wait to give herself a task to practise. B. She thinks a healthy body can help learn better. C. She believes it’s painful to solve the problems. D. She doesn’t find it difficult to finish these tasks. 37. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. Be a good learner in babyhood. B. Stay active when facing difficulties. C. Show the importance of success. D. Make decisions and choices carefully. 五、词汇运用(10分) 38. Sandy is far ________ (勇敢) than I last saw her. How has she achieved that? 39.

It has rich culture. There are many famous historical sights. Among them, a two-meter-wide alley (小巷), or Liuchi Xiang in Chinese, is a very popular one. Lots of people come to visit it every year. There is a touching story about the alley. In the Qing Dynasty, an officer named Zhang Ying received a letter from his family one day. From the letter, Zhang learned that his neighbor, the Wu family, wanted to build a house. But there was a disagreement (分歧) between the two families. It was about the alley between the houses. Zhang’s family wrote the letter to let the Wu family give up. However, Zhang wrote a letter back, saying, “Writing a letter, miles away, just for a wall. Why not give them one meter? Looking at the ten-thousand-mile-long Great Wall, Where is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang?” After reading the letter, Zhang’s family moved their wall one meter back for their neighbour. Because they realized that the neighbours were much more important than the wall. The Wu family was deeply touched and moved their wall one meter back too. So there was a two-meter-wide alley between the two families. Hundreds of years later, the story of Liuchi Xiang still tells us that kindness and tolerance (宽容) can take away walls between people, and they can create (创造) love as well. 根据短文内容回答问题, 每小题答案不超过8个单词。 63. Where is Tongcheng City? ____________________________________________________ 64. How wide is Liuchi Xiang? ____________________________________________________ 65.

A. having a walk B. having a go C. have a check D. have a look 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意:当老师在课堂上介绍新的 DIY 剪纸活动时,汤姆迅速举起手,期待试一试。 having a walk散步;having a go试一试,尝试;have a check检查,动词原形;have a look看一看,动词原形。look forward to 后接动名词形式,排除C、D选项。根据“DIY paper-cutting activity”可知,是想尝试制作,have a go表示尝试,符合语境。 7. —Can I tell Tony about it? —No, I don’t want anyone else to know it. Please keep it to ________. A. you B. your C. yourself D. yourselves 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意:——我可以告诉托尼这件事吗?——不,我不想让其他人知道。请你自己保守秘密。 you你;your你的;yourself你自己;yourselves你们自己。keep sth. to oneself是固定短语,意为“保守秘密”,反身代词需与主语保持一致。本句为祈使句,隐含主语为you,且语境为单数对话,故用yourself。 8. — How can I get a good mark in the mid-term exam? —________ you write, ________ mistakes you will make. A. The more careful; less B. The more careful; the less C. The more carefully; fewer D. The more carefully; the fewer 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意:—— 我怎样才能在期中考试取得好成绩?—— 你写得越仔细,犯的错误就越少。 The more careful;less“越仔细;更少”;The more careful;the less“越仔细;越少”;The more carefully; fewer“越仔细;更少”;The more carefully;the fewer“越仔细;越少”。固定句型:the+比较级,the+比较级,表示“越……,就越……”。第一空修饰动词write,要用副词carefully的比较级more carefully;mistakes是可数名词复数,要用few的比较级fewer,因此The more carefully;the fewer符合语境。 9.

A. because of B. in order to C. such as D. so that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意:我家开始在家收集塑料瓶,以便为社区的孩子们制作新玩具。 because of因为(后接名词/动名词);in order to为了(后接动词原形,表示目的);such as例如(后接名词/名词短语);so that以便(后接从句)。根据题干“collect plastic bottles”与“make new toys”可知,收集瓶子的目的是制作玩具,且空格后是动词原形make,应填in order to。 10.

A. felt B. wanted C. would like D. felt like 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意:上完网课后,莉莉看着被雨水打湿的窗户,突然想要做一杯热巧克力来暖暖身子。 felt感觉;wanted想要,后接to do;would like想要,后接to do;felt like想要,后接doing。根据空后“making”为动名词形式,可知选D。 11. —Sandy, the number of people going camping for holidays this year is ________ than ________ last year. —Yes, more and more travelers go camping to relax themselves.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Tom帮助朋友完成课题却不知自己的特长,最终发现擅长帮助朋友,获得大家认可的故事。 【15题详解】 句意:Tom帮助他的朋友做他们的课题。 根据上文“His class project had to be done tomorrow”可知,同学们都在做课题,Tom帮助朋友也是关于课题。projects“课题”和原文主题词呼应。exams“考试”,practice“练习”,housework“家务”均不符合上下文。 【16题详解】 句意:Betty来寻求帮助并享受了Tom的美妙饮料。 根据文章结尾Betty说的话“You make the best drinks”可知,Tom擅长制作饮料。drinks表示“饮品”符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意:Betty高兴地回家了。 根据Tom给了她好的建议,她的问题得到了解决,心情应该是愉快的。其他选项情感色彩与语境不符。happily“开心地”符合语境。angrily“生气地”,quietly“安静地”,sadly“难过地”不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意:几天前当Tom和Scott待在图书馆时,Scott正为自己的课题发愁。 stayed表示“停留、待在某地”,符合在图书馆的场景。agreed“同意”,played“玩耍”,drank“喝”,不符合图书馆的情境。 【19题详解】 句意:Ellie十分开心,她腾空跳起,在剩下的路上一直跳舞。 根据上文“on their way to school”可知,她们正在上学的路上,所以是走完剩下的路。way“路途”符合语境。term“学期”,class“班级”,talk“谈话”不符合语境。 【20题详解】 句意:最后,他有了一个主意。 根据前文Tom一直在纠结无法决定,finally表示“最终、最后”,体现经过一番思索之后想出办法。Certainly“当然”,Badly“严重地”,Also“也”逻辑不通。 【21题详解】 句意:我花了很长时间才下定决心,所以我一度以为我没有特长。 固定句型It takes sb some time to do sth.表示“花费某人多长时间做某事”,全文为过去叙事,take用过去式took“花费”。pay和spend主语必须是人,cost主语一般为物品。 【22题详解】 句意:我擅长帮助我的朋友。 根据上文Tom帮助Betty、Scott、Ellie解决课题困难的事例可知,他的特长是帮助朋友。helping“帮助”贴合全文主线。sharing“分享”,playing“玩耍”,studying“学习”不符合故事主旨。 【23题详解】 句意:他的朋友们鼓掌比其他人都更响亮。 后面出现“than”,需要副词比较级。朋友们为Tom喝彩,掌声应该更响亮,louder“更大声地”符合语境。earlier“更早”,slower“更慢”,lower“更低”,均语义不符。 【24题详解】 句意:Betty对Tom说:“Tom,你漏掉了一件重要的事,你调的饮品是最好喝的。” important“重要的”,在此处指Tom忽略了这项属于自己的重要特长。terrible“糟糕的”,serious“严肃的”,useful“有用的”,代入句子均不符合此处表达逻辑。 四、阅读理解(26分) A Plastic made from milk All sorts of things can be made from milk—even plastic! Better yet, you can make it at home. You’ll need ·2 teaspoons of vinegar (醋) ·Measuring cup ·Whole milk (not nonfat or low-fat) ·Pan ·Stove ·Adult helper 1. Pour 2 cups (500ml) of milk into the pan. 2. Ask the adult to heat the pan slowly on the stove (火炉). 3. Just before the milk boils, bubbles will start to appear on its surface. 4. When that happens, slowly stir (搅拌) in 2 teaspoons of vinegar. 5. Keep stirring until the milk becomes rubbery (橡胶状的) and hard to move. 6.

The passage is most probably written for ________. A. teenagers B. teachers C. researchers D. parents 【答案】25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了用牛奶制作塑料的家庭小实验,列出了实验所需的材料与工具,并详细说明了六个操作步骤。 【25题详解】 根据文章“You’ll need”部分的“2 teaspoons of vinegar (醋)”可知,实验需要用茶匙量取醋,茶匙是实验所需的物品。 【26题详解】 根据文章第6步的句子“When the milk is completely cool, scrape the solid from the pan, squeeze it into a ball and rinse (冲洗) it under cool running water.”可知,步骤6是牛奶完全冷却后的操作,因此“把锅从火上移开并冷却”的步骤应放在步骤6之前。 【27题详解】 根据文章开头的“Better yet, you can make it at home.”以及“You’ll need”部分的“Adult helper”可知,该实验需要成年人协助完成,因此文章最可能是写给青少年的。 B When you go to Australia, you can always hear something like this, “I am dead set against the plan!” What does the speaker mean by saying it? It’s an Australian slang (俚语), which means the speaker doesn’t agree with the plan strongly. Australia is famous for its interesting and unusual slang. Even native English-speakers visiting Australia can have trouble understanding the locals because of their accents (口音) and the expressions they use. But some Australian slang expressions are used all over the world. Selfie The popularity of social media and smartphones has made selfie a very common English word. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries made it the “Word of the Year”, and the US has a National Selfie Day. But selfie was a part of Australian English long before it became popular in other countries. The earliest known use was in 2002 when an Australian college student posted a photo that he had taken of himself online, calling it a selfie. The student, Nathan Hope, told ABC News that he didn’t make the word, but rather “it was just common slang in Australia at the time.” Stoked To be stoked is to be really happy or pleased. For example, you might say “I’m stoked!” if you’re excited about your holiday plans. Along with other expressions, such as ripper, which means“very good” or“great”, stoked was first used by Australians in the 1960s and 1970s. No worries “No worries” is a common reply to “thank you”. For example, James, “Thanks for helping me.” Jessica, “No worries.” So the next time someone thanks you, instead of “you’re welcome”, you can say “no worries” and they’ll know that you’re speaking Australian English. 28. How does the writer start the passage? A. By listing numbers. B. By showing pictures. C. By comparing (对比) facts. D. By asking questions. 29. What does the underlined word “stoked” mean in Paragraph 6? A. Excited. B. Surprised. C. Interested. D. Worried. 30. Your football team won last Friday. What would your Australian friend say to you? A. No selfies. B. You little ripper. C. No worries. D. Dead set against the team. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了澳大利亚俚语的使用以及一些俚语的意思。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“When you go to Australia, you can always hear something like this, ‘I am dead set against the plan!’ What does the speaker mean by saying it?”可知,作者是通过问问题来开始这篇文章的。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“To be stoked is to be really happy or pleased.”可知,stroked意为“真的很高兴或满意”,故推出画线部分stroked意为“兴奋的”。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“such as ripper, which means ‘very good’ or ‘great’”可知,ripper意为“非常好”,故推出你的足球队赢了, 你的澳大利亚朋友应该会说You little ripper。故选B。 C Though Sylvia had grown up among tall buildings and busy streets, she had recently found herself more at home in the Maine countryside, where she had come to help her aging grandmother. She let the cow out to walk in the nearby fields every morning and led it back home in the evenings, staying with the woods and her animal neighbours every day. One evening, when Sylvia walked back home from the fields, she saw a stranger coming out of the forest. When the man reached her, he explained that he was quite interested in collecting rare birds and was searching for the white heron (苍鹭) nesting (筑巢) in the area according to his book. He asked if he could stay at her house. Though Sylvia was a little bit worried, she led him to her grandmother. Over dinner, Sylvia’s grandmother told the man how her son had loved making friends with animals while he enjoyed living in the wild and that Sylvia was just the same. On hearing the news, the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron, telling her that he planned to shoot (打猎) and put it into his collection. Sylvia knew her grandmother had little savings, so she accepted. The next day, Sylvia and the man searched the forest for the white heron, but they came back empty-handed. At first, Sylvia was afraid of the man’s shooting and collection plan. With some time passing by, she was surprised to find that he was a person with a warm heart and rich knowledge of birds. The two led the cow home together in the afternoon. Just before bed, Sylvia remembered that one tree in the forest stood taller than the rest. If she managed to climb it, she would surely find the heron’s nest below. The thought made her so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She finally got out of the house in the early morning to find the heron before the man awoke. Reaching the top of the tree was a success in itself, but nothing was more amazing than the moment Sylvia truly saw the heron. High as a bird, she felt she and the heron were one, and she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death. The man was waiting for her when she returned home, but she refused to help him any longer. Later, Sylvia wondered whether giving up the money — and the man’s friendship — was really worth (值得) the heron’s life, but the treasures she might have gained were easily forgotten among the beauty of the wild. —Synopsis (摘要) of A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett 31. According to the passage, Sylvia is ________ and the bird collector is ________. A. weak; strong B. good; bad C. kind; social D. excited; calm 32. Which is the right order according to the story? ①Sylvia thought of the tallest tree at night. ②Grandmother showed a warm welcome. ③Sylvia knew more about the bird collector. ④Bird collector offered money to get help. A. ③①②④ B. ①②④③ C. ②④③① D. ④③①② 33. What can we infer from the story? A. Many people wanted the white heron. B. Sylvia decided to protect the white heron. C. Sylvia’s father was also a bird collector. D. The man became quite angry with Sylvia. 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文,是萨拉·奥恩·朱厄特的小说《白苍鹭》的故事摘要,讲述了在缅因州乡下帮奶奶劳作的女孩西尔维娅遇到一位鸟类收藏家,对方出资请她帮忙寻找白苍鹭,西尔维娅在亲眼见到苍鹭后选择放弃报酬、保护苍鹭的故事,展现了自然的美好与西尔维娅的善良本心。 【31题详解】 根据文章第六段“she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death”可推知Sylvia不忍心伤害苍鹭,性格善良;根据第二段“He asked if he could stay at her house”以及第三段“the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron”可推知鸟类收藏家擅长与人交际,符合kind; social的描述。 【32题详解】 根据文章情节的先后顺序:第二段“she led him to her grandmother”对应奶奶热情欢迎,第三段“the man offered Sylvia a lot of money to help him find the white heron”对应收藏家出资求助,第四段“she was surprised to find that he was a person with a warm heart and rich knowledge of birds”对应Sylvia更了解收藏家,第五段“Just before bed, Sylvia remembered that one tree in the forest stood taller than the rest”对应Sylvia晚上想到最高的树,因此正确顺序为②④③①。 【33题详解】 根据文章第六段“she suddenly realized she couldn’t be part of its death... but she refused to help him any longer”可推知Sylvia不愿参与伤害苍鹭的事,决定保护白苍鹭。 D IS SUCCESS ABOUT LEARNING—OR SHOWING YOU’RE SMART? Benjamin once said, “I don’t divide (分) the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures. I divide the world into the learners and nonlearners.” What would make someone a nonlearner? Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn. Babies practise their skills daily, even the most difficult tasks of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never think it’s too hard. Babies don’t worry about making mistakes. They walk, they fall and they get up. They just move forward. What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart. I have studied thousands of students, and you can’t believe how many people refuse a chance to learn. We offered four-year-olds a choice (选择): They could red o an easy task or they could try a harder one. Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset—stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said. So children with the fixed mindset want to make sure they are successful. Smart people should always be successful. But for children with the growth mindset, success is about practising themselves. It’s about learning to become smarter. One seventh-grade girl made a conclusion.“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.” 34. What does the writer want to tell by using the example of babies in Paragraph 2? A. Walking and talking are very difficult. B. It’s easy for babies to learn different skills. C. People are born with abilities to learn. D. Babies need to face many tasks every day. 35. Which of the following is a fixed mindset according to the passage? A. Being happy with his own growth. B. Working hard and being thirsty to learn. C. Avoiding showing how smart he is. D. Being afraid of facing different failures. 36. What does the girl mean by saying “I’m dying to solve them!”? A. She can’t wait to give herself a task to practise. B. She thinks a healthy body can help learn better. C. She believes it’s painful to solve the problems. D. She doesn’t find it difficult to finish these tasks. 37. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. Be a good learner in babyhood. B. Stay active when facing difficulties. C. Show the importance of success. D. Make decisions and choices carefully. 【答案】34. C 35. D 36. A 37. B 【解析】 【导语】本文关于成功意味着学习——还是证明你很聪明的这一话题进行了讨论。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn.”可知,作者想通过这个例子来说明人天生就有学习的能力。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart”什么可以终结这种学习方式?固定的思维模式。一旦孩子们能够自我评价,他们中的一些人就会害怕困难的任务。他们害怕自己不够聪明。可知,选项D“害怕面对不同的失败”属于固定的思维模式。故选D。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said.”“具有成长型思维模式的孩子(他们相信通过学习可以变得更聪明)认为这是一个奇怪的选择。你为什么要问我这个问题?为什么有人想一遍又一遍地重复做同样的任务?他们选择了一个又一个难题。“我快要解开它们了!”一个小女孩说。可知,女孩这样说表明她迫不及待地想给自己一个练习的任务。故选A。 【37题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability”我认为聪明是需要你努力才能做到的……聪明不是天生的……大多数孩子如果不确定答案,就不会举手回答问题。但我通常会举手,因为如果我错了,我的错误就会被纠正。只要这样做,我就在提高自己的能力。可知作者写这篇文章是为了告诉我们面对困难时要保持积极主动。故选B。 五、词汇运用(10分) 38.

Zhang’s family wrote the letter to let the Wu family give up. However, Zhang wrote a letter back, saying, “Writing a letter, miles away, just for a wall. Why not give them one meter? Looking at the ten-thousand-mile-long Great Wall, Where is its builder Emperor Qinshihuang?” After reading the letter, Zhang’s family moved their wall one meter back for their neighbour. Because they realized that the neighbours were much more important than the wall. The Wu family was deeply touched and moved their wall one meter back too.
