阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
After learning about these famous women, you’ll know you can do a lot for society no matter what. You don’t need to be in a specific field, time or environment to make a difference to the world in your lifetime.
Amelia Earhart (1897 — 1937)
Amelia Earhart was the first woman who ever flew alone across the Atlantic in 1932. She became the first woman pilot in 1935 after flying from Hawaii to California. She began her lifelong dream of flying across the world in 1937. However, her flight went missing on that trip and she was never seen again.
Helena Rubinstein (1870 — 1965)
Helena Rubinstein moved to Australia in 1902 without the ability to speak English. Later, she founded one of the world’s first cosmetic (化妆品) companies after mixing lanolin, which is an oil that comes from sheep’s wool, with flowers. Because of that, she became the world’s richest woman at the time.
Katharine Hepburn (1907 — 2003)
Katharine Hepburn was known for playing strong-willed women in her films. She won four Academy Awards for Best Actress, the most an actress has ever won. Her new dress style made wearing trousers acceptable to women, which wasn’t allowed at that time.
Emmeline Pankhurst (1858 — 1928)
Emmeline was an influential woman activist, who helped British women get the right to vote. She fought along with her husband for the rights of women all the time in the late 19th century and early 20th century. After she lost her husband, she teamed up with her three daughters and formed The Women Social and Political Union, which was best known as the suffragettes (women’s right to vote).
21. What was the problem for Helena at first when she moved to Australia?

Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.
This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.
I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.
Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid.
24. What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home?
A. Going back to his original self. B. Adapting to new surroundings.
C. Experiencing culture shock. D. Missing old acquaintances.
25. What did the author realize after returning home?
A. He should make his family familiar with his positive changes.
B. He should change his mentality to care less about his study.
C. He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment.
D. He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class.
26. What does the underlined word “perpetual” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Current. B. Improper. C. Unnecessary. D. Continuous.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The reflections on personal growth. B. The sufferings of reverse culture shock.
C. The adaptations to new environments. D. The success in academic performance.
C
If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch a performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best-known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, put forward by Wells, now universally refers to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as short cuts to other periods. Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship — going at nearly the speed of light, though building such a spaceship wouldn’t of course be simple.
Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born. If the time traveler wasn’t born, how would he travel back in time?
And would you really like to visit the future? In H. G. Wells’ book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles (触角).
If that’s what’s in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
28. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. There are films, comic books and poems adapted from the novel The Time Machine.
B. The Time Machine is one of the bestselling science fiction novels.
C. Works of literature about time travel first appeared one hundred years ago.
D. It was H. G. Wells who invented the term “time machine”.
29. What can we know about Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories?
A. They suggest the possibility of time travel.
B. They have pushed the invention of the first spaceship.
C. They have been proved wrong by some time travelers.
D. They have similarities because both are based on experiments.
30. In paragraph 4, which idea does “grandfather paradox” probably refer to?
A. The traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather.
B. The traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather.
C. The grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossible.
D. The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness.
31. According to the passage, what is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel?
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unconcerned.
D
We all agree that too much anxiety has nothing good to offer and is certainly not a welcome visitor in our lives. There are endless and heartbreaking stories about how anxiety can ruin a moment, a day, or even a life.
However, a growing number of researchers are getting the message out that anxiety is not always our enemy. Kian Patton, an expert on mental health, believes that anxiety and other unpleasant feelings actually have a role to play because we all need a bit of it to be our best selves.
Let’s look at some positive sides that anxiety has to offer. A bit of anxiety prevents us from possible dangers. Those of us with some anxiety carefully consider the effects of our behavior on others, which prevents us from becoming a bully and hurting classmates. Anxiety can and does remind us to get things done. We tend to be better prepared for the next test, the next presentation, the next day, and even life in general.
“If we pay no attention to our anxiety, we may lose these benefits, and can make things worse,” says Gaia Megan, a professor in Psychological Science. Ignoring unpleasant feelings just strengthens our worries, because we are not solving the problem. According to Gaia, the key to reducing unease is to manage anxiety by “worrying well”. But how?
The trick, as she says, is to listen to anxiety, and then direct it to make changes. For example, a young man who worried about everything that could go wrong in his life was kept sleepless at night. After talking to Gaia Megan, he turned “what ifs?” anxiety into a goal-directed to-do list: “If this were to happen, then what could I do? Well, I could…”
By worrying well, we can feel lighter in our mind and have a clearer map of what we should do. “Then,” Gaia advises, “let it go. It is a wave that you need to learn to ride.”
32. What is people’s common opinion about anxiety?
A. It satisfies some of our needs. B. It creates problems in our lives.
C. It is the most unpleasant feeling. D. It helps us sort out the messages.
33. What can mild anxiety help people do?
A. Avoid possible dangers. B. Make good friends.
C. Have a successful life. D. Create new ideas.
34. How can we manage anxiety according to Gaia Megan?
A. By changing our sleep patterns. B. By listening to other’s opinions.
C. By directing it in a positive way. D. By ignoring unpleasant feelings.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Women Scientists on Mental Health B. Facts and Benefits of Fear and Anxiety
C. The Unsolved Mystery: Why Do We Worry D. The Upside of Anxiety: How to Worry Well

67.阅读下面材料:根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The last lesson of the day was PE class. Emma was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates. She was quite good at it. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped swiftly. When time was up, the counter showed 220 skips. Feeling proud, Emma flashed a victory smile at the crowd. Just then, the bell rang — class was over. It was time to give her answer to Ms. Wilson.
That morning, Ms. Wilson had asked her if she would like to take charge of the blackboard newspaper for the upcoming competition. It was Lily who usually handled it, but she had taken sick leave, and someone else needed to step in. It never occurred to Emma that Ms. Wilson would think of her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. Wilson comforted her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and that they would talk about it again after school.
Now, walking towards the teachers’ office, Emma felt anxious. The thought of her poor handwriting being displayed on the wall for everyone to comment on made her upset. No. Never would she let that happen. She quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Emma was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone caught her attention. It was Tim from Class 5. She thought that Tim had never been good at the long jump, but he just kept practicing it on and on. Out of curiosity, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tim explained that no one in his class had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn’t get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the class teacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Emma reminded him that he wasn’t good at it, but Tim simply said he knew and added that it wasn’t about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for his class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar dilemma (困境) they were both in!
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Standing there, Emma watched Tim practicing hard with great patience. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Emma walked into the teachers’ office with a determined look on her face. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
