I tend to ____16____ into my bedroom with my guitar. My fingers ached as I tried to press down on the strings without making them buzz. ____17____, I worked my way through 2-, 3-and even 5-chord (和弦) songs and discovered the incredible ____18____ of these musical notes. No one ____19____ me to do this. I did this myself and of my own free will for a week, and the sense of happiness — true happiness — was ____20____ in absorption in something that ____21____ me. Fifty years later, that week’s self-directed practice became a model and ____22____ for almost every meaningful thing I have done since.

I learned so long ago that-in that week with the guitar, when you ____28____ the guitar’s C chord, you should be surprised how sweetly it would ring in tune. I didn’t know ____29____ it was a major 7th chord, a favorite of some masters. I just ____30____ accomplishment. That one week of passion and persistence gave me a standard by which to measure every task after it. It wasn’t about prizes or praise, but a private sense of ____31____ that no one could take away. Over the years, I’ve tried new skills with that same mindset — learning languages, writing essays and even cooking. Each new journey reminded me that what matters most is not perfection. Accomplishment, after all, doesn’t demand brilliance — it demands ____32____. What I’ve found is that ____33____ starts to come when we show up fully and consistently. Some days, of course, the joy doesn’t come easily. There are moments of ____34____, when the strings won’t ring right, when the mind feels dull.

B Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, serious man — not the sort of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager arriving in America, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the human journey. In college, when friends called home for advice, I would sink into deep depression for what I did not have. Today, at twenty-seven, I have come to rediscover them in ways that my teenage mind would not allow — as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses. One night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. These was some trouble. Later, Dad shared the problem with me. Apparently my legal training had earned me some privileges in his eyes. I talked through the problem with Dad, analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies. He listened patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I am a simple man.” Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct the building blacks of nature. Yet human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people, much less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. It’s not in his nature to understand human desires. And so, there it was — it was no one’s fault that my father held no interest in human lives while I placed great importance in them. We are at times born more sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than our parents and become more curious and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligent man, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of my feelings. It has saved me years of questioning and confusion. I now see my parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and Mother. I now overlook their many faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed me. I now know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past clearly. 41. What was the author’s impression of her father when she was a teenager? A. Friendly but irresponsible. B. Intelligent but severe. C. Cold and aggressive. D. Caring and communicative. 42. Why did the author feel depressed when her friends called home? A. She did not have a phone to call home. B. Her father did not care about her human journey. C. Her father was too busy to answer her phone. D. Her father couldn’t give her appropriate advice. 43. After the author overheard her father on the telephone, ______. A. he blamed her for impoliteness B. he rediscovered human nature C. he consulted with her about his problem D. he changed his attitude towards the author 44. The author realized that ______. A. her father had too many faults and weaknesses B. her father was not as intelligent as she had thought C. her father was not good at interpersonal relationships D. her father placed too much importance in social activities 45. Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A. My Parents as Friends B. My Parents as Advisors C. My Father as a Serious Man D. My Father as an Intelligent Scientist C You are a member in a full-time school called “life”. Each day here you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum. Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have to overlook is that there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual. Each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you are traveling your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons you will need to learn in order to achieve that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and achieving the meaning of your own life. As you are traveling through your lifetime, you may meet challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn. The challenge, therefore, is to arrange yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will face in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be different from others. But don’t compare your path with that of people around you and focus on the differences between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only face lessons that you can learn and are specific to your own growth. Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. 46. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized? A. Gathering different opinions from others B. Taking the distinct path from others. C. Learning the lessons presented to you. D. Doing the different things from others. 47. From the passage we can conclude . A. everyone has his own track to follow B. unexpected things usually happen to the peers C. a painful divorce must lie in financial problems D. a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage 48. In your lifetime, the lessons you are faced with . A. are beyond your power B. keep you from growth C. limit your development D. help you with your success 49. Which of the following is TRUE? A. All things should be equal and justice to everybody. B. You should learn to deal with specific problems differently from others. C. One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances. D. You can complain life is unfair whenever possible. 50. Life is called a full–time school, because . A. it is full of all lessons to learn B. you have plenty of time to learn lessons C. you meet with specific lessons every day D. you can learn many things helpful to you D Do your children hate going to school? If you struggle to get your child to go to school in the morning every day, don’t blame them - it could be your fault. Recently, a scientific study has claimed that our willingness to learn is significantly influenced by our genes. It’s really unexpected, isn’t it? After a lot of research, the researchers found that 40 to 50 percent of the differences in children’s motivation to learn could be explained by their genetic inheritance (遗传) from their parents. A group of researchers from Goldsmiths University of London, and Ohio State University in the US studied more than 13,000 twins aged nine to sixteen from six countries, including the UK, Canada, Japan, Germany,Russia and the US. Before the study, the researchers said they believed that the twins’ shared environment-elements such as the teachers and the family that they had in common - would be a larger factor than genetics. However, after the research, they found that genetics and non-shared-environment factors had the largest effect on the children’s motivation to learn. Moreover, the shared environment had small impact. “Accordingly, we should not jump to the conclusion that a poor teacher or a child is to blame for a lack of motivation in the classroom,” the researchers said. “We had pretty consistent findings across these different countries with their different educational systems and different cultures. It’s surprising. We found that personality differences that people inherit have a major impact on motivation. That doesn’t mean we don’t try to encourage and inspire students, but we have to deal with the reality of why they are different.” said Professor Stephen Petrill, of Ohio State University. The research shows there is not a specific gene for how much children enjoy learning and a complex process is suggested, involving many genes and gene-environment interactions that help influence children’s motivation to learn. 51. What would be the subject of the study mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. How to persuade children to go to school? B. Who is to blame for children’s faults? C. How to help children to get rid of bad habits? D. What can impact on children’s motivation to learn? 52. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The researchers once had the problem of hating school. B. The motivation to learn was determined by a specific gene. C. Half of the twins’ differences related to the shared environment. D. The living environment slightly affects a person’s motivation to learn. 53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. The researchers were astonished at the study’s results. B. 13,000 twins and their parents were studied together. C. The genetic inheritance has the most influence on children’s motivation to learn. D. The result of the study was the same as the researchers thought to be. 54. According to Stephen Petrill, we can know that ______. A. teachers are to blame for students’ poor motivation B. we should use various ways to get children inspired C. personality differences have relationship with motivation D. the influences of education systems and cultures weren’t studied 55. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Learning desire is driven by genes. B. Academic performance lies in genes. C. Parents should set an example for children. D. It’s necessary to motivate children to learn. 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 You’ve got to know your own value, know what you want, and stick with it. That’s what T. McDowell’s advice to others is, and it’s certainly worked for him. This high school senior is currently the owner of Immersion Imaging, a successful company specializing in Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases. McDowell launched the company in 2012, which was originally called 4th Dimension Graphics. Two years later, it was recognized as Immersion Imaging. Surprisingly, he didn’t begin the company with the assistance of any partner, but instead founded it on his own with the experience and contacts that he already had. “It’s always been a one - person operation. I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now,” McDowell said. I don’t lack any contracts right now. I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems.” If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working, Immersion Imaging will offer him a steady income. Part of the reason why McDowell ended up in the computer industry might be explained by the exposure he had as a child. However, he spends his free time on more than just computers. His real interest lies in aviation. With his business spirit and success, McDowell won’t have a problem realizing his dreams of the sky one day 56. What does McDowell’s company focus on? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why does McDowell want his company to be a one-person operation?

This is the first time that no agreement _________ so far despite multiple rounds of talks between the two sides. A. was reached B. has been reached C. will reach D. will have reached 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管双方进行了多轮会谈，但到目前为止仍未达成任何协议，这还是第一次。固定句型“This/It is the first time that...”中，that引导的从句谓语动词需使用现在完成时。同时，从句主语agreement“协议”与动词reach“达成”之间为逻辑上的被动关系，应使用现在完成时的被动语态“has/have been done”。此外，句中的时间状语so far“到目前为止”也是现在完成时的常见标志词。 9.

Today is your birthday! — ________. I am so excited with so many friends surrounding me. A. None of your business B. Don’t mention it C. Just can’t help it D.

That one week of passion and persistence gave me a standard by which to measure every task after it. It wasn’t about prizes or praise, but a private sense of ____31____ that no one could take away.

As a teenager arriving in America, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the human journey. In college, when friends called home for advice, I would sink into deep depression for what I did not have. Today, at twenty-seven, I have come to rediscover them in ways that my teenage mind would not allow — as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses. One night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. These was some trouble. Later, Dad shared the problem with me. Apparently my legal training had earned me some privileges in his eyes. I talked through the problem with Dad, analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies. He listened patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I am a simple man.” Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct the building blacks of nature. Yet human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people, much less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. It’s not in his nature to understand human desires. And so, there it was — it was no one’s fault that my father held no interest in human lives while I placed great importance in them. We are at times born more sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than our parents and become more curious and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligent man, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of my feelings. It has saved me years of questioning and confusion. I now see my parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and Mother. I now overlook their many faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed me. I now know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past clearly. 41. What was the author’s impression of her father when she was a teenager? A. Friendly but irresponsible. B. Intelligent but severe. C. Cold and aggressive. D. Caring and communicative. 42. Why did the author feel depressed when her friends called home? A. She did not have a phone to call home. B. Her father did not care about her human journey. C. Her father was too busy to answer her phone. D. Her father couldn’t give her appropriate advice. 43. After the author overheard her father on the telephone, ______. A. he blamed her for impoliteness B. he rediscovered human nature C. he consulted with her about his problem D. he changed his attitude towards the author 44. The author realized that ______. A. her father had too many faults and weaknesses B. her father was not as intelligent as she had thought C. her father was not good at interpersonal relationships D. her father placed too much importance in social activities 45. Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A. My Parents as Friends B. My Parents as Advisors C. My Father as a Serious Man D. My Father as an Intelligent Scientist 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。这篇短文中作者主要讲述了自己的父亲,其中重点介绍了父亲与自己的相处方式. 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, serious man not the sort of person around whom one could laugh.”（在我的成长过程中，我记得父亲是一个沉默、严肃的人，不是那种能让人发笑的人）及下文“Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct (解构) the building blocks of nature.”（爸爸是一位才华横溢的科学家，他能解构大自然的构造）描述,可知作者认为他的父亲是个聪明而严肃的人。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文第一段“when friends called home for advice, I would sink into deep depression for what I did not have.”（当朋友打电话回家寻求建议时，我会因为我得不到建议而陷入深深的沮丧之中） 描述,可知作者感到沮丧的原因是,他的父亲不能给他提供适当的建议。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I talked through the problem with Dad, analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies. He listened patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I am a simple man.””（我和爸爸讨论了这个问题，分析了相关人员的目的，并提出了几种谈判策略。他耐心地听着，最后承认：“我不能那样想，我是个简单的人”）无意中听到她父亲的电话后，他就自己的问题征求了她的意见。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people”（那天晚上我意识到他根本不善于与人打交道）描述,可知作者的父亲不擅长处理人际关系。故选C. 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据短文最后一段“I now know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. ”（我现在把我的父母视为朋友:向我寻求建议的人;那些需要我支持和理解的人）及上文描述,可知作者主要讲述了父亲和自己的相处方式,那就是像一个朋友一样与自己的孩子相处。所以短文的最佳标题为“我的父母是朋友 ”。故选A 。 C You are a member in a full-time school called “life”. Each day here you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum. Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors have to overlook is that there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual. Each person has his own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you are traveling your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons you will need to learn in order to achieve that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is the key to discovering and achieving the meaning of your own life. As you are traveling through your lifetime, you may meet challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on is that you will be presented with all the lessons that you specifically need to learn. The challenge, therefore, is to arrange yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will face in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be different from others. But don’t compare your path with that of people around you and focus on the differences between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only face lessons that you can learn and are specific to your own growth. Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equality. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult life path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. 46. According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized? A. Gathering different opinions from others B. Taking the distinct path from others. C. Learning the lessons presented to you. D. Doing the different things from others. 47. From the passage we can conclude .

If you struggle to get your child to go to school in the morning every day, don’t blame them - it could be your fault. Recently, a scientific study has claimed that our willingness to learn is significantly influenced by our genes. It’s really unexpected, isn’t it? After a lot of research, the researchers found that 40 to 50 percent of the differences in children’s motivation to learn could be explained by their genetic inheritance (遗传) from their parents. A group of researchers from Goldsmiths University of London, and Ohio State University in the US studied more than 13,000 twins aged nine to sixteen from six countries, including the UK, Canada, Japan, Germany,Russia and the US. Before the study, the researchers said they believed that the twins’ shared environment-elements such as the teachers and the family that they had in common - would be a larger factor than genetics. However, after the research, they found that genetics and non-shared-environment factors had the largest effect on the children’s motivation to learn. Moreover, the shared environment had small impact. “Accordingly, we should not jump to the conclusion that a poor teacher or a child is to blame for a lack of motivation in the classroom,” the researchers said. “We had pretty consistent findings across these different countries with their different educational systems and different cultures. It’s surprising. We found that personality differences that people inherit have a major impact on motivation. That doesn’t mean we don’t try to encourage and inspire students, but we have to deal with the reality of why they are different.” said Professor Stephen Petrill, of Ohio State University. The research shows there is not a specific gene for how much children enjoy learning and a complex process is suggested, involving many genes and gene-environment interactions that help influence children’s motivation to learn. 51. What would be the subject of the study mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. How to persuade children to go to school? B. Who is to blame for children’s faults? C. How to help children to get rid of bad habits? D. What can impact on children’s motivation to learn? 52. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The researchers once had the problem of hating school. B. The motivation to learn was determined by a specific gene. C. Half of the twins’ differences related to the shared environment. D. The living environment slightly affects a person’s motivation to learn. 53. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. The researchers were astonished at the study’s results. B. 13,000 twins and their parents were studied together. C. The genetic inheritance has the most influence on children’s motivation to learn. D. The result of the study was the same as the researchers thought to be. 54. According to Stephen Petrill, we can know that ______. A. teachers are to blame for students’ poor motivation B. we should use various ways to get children inspired C. personality differences have relationship with motivation D. the influences of education systems and cultures weren’t studied 55. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Learning desire is driven by genes. B. Academic performance lies in genes. C. Parents should set an example for children. D. It’s necessary to motivate children to learn. 【答案】51. D 52. D 53. A 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究发现基因对孩子的学习动力有很大影响。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently, a scientific study has claimed that our willingness to learn is significantly influenced by our genes. (最近，一项科学研究声称，我们的学习意愿在很大程度上受到基因的影响。)”可知一项科学研究表明我们的学习意愿受基因显著影响，且后文围绕影响孩子学习动力的因素展开研究，所以研究主题是“什么能影响孩子的学习动力”，故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Moreover, the shared environment had small impact.(此外，共享环境的影响较小)”可知，生活环境对一个人的学习动力影响较小，D 选项正确。A 选项文中未提及研究人员有过讨厌上学的问题；B 选项与最后一段 “The research shows there is not a specific gene for how much children enjoy learning (研究表明，没有一个特定的基因决定孩子有多喜欢学习)” 不符；C 选项，文中说的是“40 to 50 percent of the differences in children’s motivation to learn could be explained by their genetic inheritance (孩子们学习动机的差异中有40%到50%可以用父母的基因遗传来解释)”，并非一半的双胞胎差异与共享环境有关，而是与基因遗传有关。故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Before the study, the researchers said they believed that the twins’ shared environment-elements such as the teachers and the family that they had in common - would be a larger factor than genetics. However, after the research, they found that genetics and non-shared-environment factors had the largest effect on the children’s motivation to learn. Moreover, the shared environment had small impact. (在这项研究之前，研究人员表示，他们认为双胞胎的共同环境——比如共同的老师和家庭——会比遗传因素更重要。然而，在研究之后，他们发现遗传和非共享环境因素对孩子的学习动机影响最大。此外，共享环境的影响较小。)” 表明研究结果与研究人员之前认为的不同，可推断研究人员对研究结果感到惊讶，故选A。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We found that personality differences that people inherit have a major impact on motivation. (我们发现，人们遗传的性格差异对动机有重大影响。)”可知性格差异与动机有关，故选C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Recently, a scientific study has claimed that our willingness to learn is significantly influenced by our genes. (最近，一项科学研究声称，我们的学习意愿在很大程度上受到基因的影响。)”可知文章主要讲述了一项研究发现基因对孩子的学习动力有很大影响，A 选项“学习欲望由基因驱动”符合文章主旨，适合作标题，故选A。 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 You’ve got to know your own value, know what you want, and stick with it. That’s what T. McDowell’s advice to others is, and it’s certainly worked for him. This high school senior is currently the owner of Immersion Imaging, a successful company specializing in Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases. McDowell launched the company in 2012, which was originally called 4th Dimension Graphics. Two years later, it was recognized as Immersion Imaging. Surprisingly, he didn’t begin the company with the assistance of any partner, but instead founded it on his own with the experience and contacts that he already had. “It’s always been a one - person operation. I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now,” McDowell said. I don’t lack any contracts right now. I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems.” If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working, Immersion Imaging will offer him a steady income. Part of the reason why McDowell ended up in the computer industry might be explained by the exposure he had as a child. However, he spends his free time on more than just computers. His real interest lies in aviation. With his business spirit and success, McDowell won’t have a problem realizing his dreams of the sky one day 56. What does McDowell’s company focus on? (No more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why does McDowell want his company to be a one-person operation?

McDowell的创业经历和对未来的规划。他创办了名为Immersion Imaging的公司，专注于互联网商务解决方案和在线金融数据库。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“This high school senior is currently the owner of Immersion Imaging, a successful company specializing in Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases.(这位高中毕业生目前是Immersion Imaging的老板，这是一家成功的公司，专门从事互联网商务解决方案和在线金融数据库。)”可知，McDowell的公司专门从事互联网商务解决方案和在线金融数据库。故答案为Internet commerce solutions and online financial databases. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段““It’s always been a one - person operation. I could easily take on partners or scale up the business some more, but I want to keep it this way for now,” McDowell said. I don’t lack any contracts right now. I like it because it’s flexible, so that if I need more income, I can do more; and if I take a break for a while, I don’t have any problems.”(“这一直是一个人的经营。我可以很容易地接受合作伙伴或扩大业务规模，但我现在想保持这种方式，” McDowell说。“我现在不缺合同。我喜欢它，因为它很灵活，所以如果我需要更多的收入，我可以做更多的事情；如果我休息一段时间，我也不会有任何问题。”)”可知，McDowell希望自己的公司一个人经营，因为这种模式具有灵活性。故答案为Because it’s flexible. 【58题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据划线单词上文“I could easily take on partners(我可以很容易地接受合作伙伴)”，如果与别人合作，那么自然就会扩大业务规模。由此可知，划线单词和“扩大”相似。故答案为Expand. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“If McDowell spends between 30 and 60 hours a week working, Immersion Imaging will offer him a steady income.(如果McDowell每周工作30到60个小时，Immersion Imaging公司将为他提供稳定的收入。)”可知，如果McDowell每周工作30到60个小时就可以拥有稳定的收入。故答案为By working 30 to 60 hours per week. 【60题详解】 开放题。要求考生谈谈McDowell的建议对自己的启发，考生言之有理即可。结合第一段McDowell的建议“You’ve got to know your own value, know what you want, and stick with it.(你必须知道自己的价值，知道你想要什么，并坚持下去。)”可知，McDowell认为我们应该先找到自己重视的东西，明白自己的梦想，然后坚持下去。故参考答案为We should first find out what matters to us and discover our dreams. Then we should stay focused and go after our dreams. 第二节：书面表达（共1小题；满分25分） 61. 假如你是晨光中学的李津，你校英文校报开设了“TeenFinance View”专栏，现面向全校征稿，主题为“中学生如何正确看待并规划个人零花钱”。请你向专栏投稿一封短文，内容包括： 1. 中学生树立正确金钱观的重要性； 2. 两点具体做法（如合理规划支出、尝试小额储蓄/公益捐款）； 3. 分享你对“投资自己”的理解（如用零花钱买书籍、报兴趣课）。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Building a correct outlook on money is of great significance to us middle school students.
