A
Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.
Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside.
Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet.
I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future.
1. Which of the following best describes the author in paragraph 1?
A. Cautious. B. Impatient. C. Carefree. D. Insecure.
2. How does painting ease the author’s fears and anxieties?
A. Painting makes her stay in a place.
B. Colors of painting calm her down.
C. Painting makes less room for worries.
D. Painting is a very creative activity.
3. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. What is important is to seize the moment.
B. Anxiety may be beneficial to life at times.
C. It is necessary to learn some art in childhood.
D. Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述作者长期受焦虑困扰,后来发现绘画能让自己活在当下、缓解焦虑。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.(不过我的担忧不局限于健康问题,还包括对世界未来的焦虑、对财务状况的担心以及害怕自己不够好)”可知,作者内心缺乏安全感。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet.(就在这时,我留意到一件很重要的事:绘画能让我平静下来,别的事情都做不到这一点。它缓解恐惧与焦虑的效果,是深呼吸等其他方式难以企及的,至少很难一直奏效。一旦焦虑的念头涌上来,我知道该怎么做。我走进画室,拿起材料,开始创作。没过多久,烦恼就消散了,内心归于平静)”可知,绘画占据了她的注意力,没有空间留给忧虑。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第四段中“The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future.(唯一重要的事是找到活在当下的方式,而不是困在未知的未来里)”可知,文章主要讲述作者长期受焦虑困扰,后来发现绘画能让自己活在当下、缓解焦虑,告诉我们把握当下才是最重要的。“What is important is to seize the moment(重要的是把握当下)”符合题意。
B
We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, a new research has claimed.
The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and seven months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months with men hitting the friendship highest point a little later at 27 years and three months.
The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults (36%) meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth (22%) saying they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.
Forever Friends relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”
Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.
With growing pressures being put on friendship these days, it’s important to make time for our friendship.
4. How many friends can a 20-year-old college student make via Facebook?
A. 4. B. 12. C. 18. D. 22.
5. In Paragraph 5, the author is trying to tell the readers ________.
A. how important making friends is
B. that friendship is not easy to keep
C. how much has been done to keep friendship
D. that friendship at school is important
6. The underlined phrase “drift away from” in Paragraph 6 means ________.
A. make sense of B. lose contact with C. feel sorry for D. make up with
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了一项关于人生各阶段交友情况的研究发现。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.(研究指出,25至34岁的人通过Facebook交到22个朋友,相比之下,18至24岁的人交12个,35至44岁的人仅交4个)”可知,20岁的大学生属于18至24岁年龄段,通过Facebook可交到12个朋友。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Forever Friends relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”(Forever Friends 情感教练萨姆·欧文说:“超过三分之一的人在学校结识了最好的朋友,这并非巧合。这是我们人生中一段关键的时光,通过分享笔记、赠送礼物、经常见面和开怀大笑,友谊得以加深。作为成年人,我们常常会忘记这些小事的力量,以及细微之处能带来的改变。”)”可知,作者意在告诉读者学生时代的友谊很重要。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends.(在人生的后期,我们发现自己正在失去朋友。超过一半的人因搬家而失去友谊,36%的人说随着时间推移与密友渐行渐远。生孩子也使19%的人与童年朋友________)”可知,前文提到“lose friendship(失去友谊)”,“grow apart from(与……疏远)”,故drift away from意为“与……失去联系”,表示生孩子也使19%的人与童年朋友失去联系。
C
Curiosity — the desire to know, to discover, to learn. Inspired by curiosity, humans are found everywhere on our planet, and beyond it in space. Yet according to human behaviourist and author of Curious, Ian Leslie, although we are all born curious, not all of us bring this into adulthood, and we can lose out as a result.
As Leslie explains, curiosity shapes us from the start. By trying new things, we build knowledge, and want to know more. “We are born aware that we don’t know stuff — we want to experience and discover.” However, the contrast between childhood and adulthood is clear. “We ask 40,000 questions a year between the ages of two and five,” says Leslie — around 110 each day; adults, in comparison, ask just 20.
As we get older, we may feel hesitant about asking questions, believing this reveals gaps in our knowledge. We can become scared to share unconventional ideas for fear of criticism or misunderstanding. We can also be a victim of our success, as Leslie explains. “Once you’ve worked out how to do your job, then you don’t feel curious anymore. The need to learn goes away — in a way, curiosity has done its job. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t cultivate it.”
Leslie’s tips for cultivating curiosity begin with spending time with the experts — children. “Talk to your kids, and try to answer those weird, difficult questions they have — like ‘What is air?’ This makes you think about things you’ve taken for granted — it reawakens your curiosity in what’s around us and how we perceive the world.”
So does finding what Leslie calls an “informal mentor”, through work or other circles, who is happy to share their expertise, from a skill, technology, to a field of learning. “Try to think of people the way children think of adults — as sources of secret knowledge, a great store of learning you can tap into,” says Leslie.
Leslie also suggests creating a “spark file” — a digital or physical notebook in which you collect interesting thoughts. “Fill it with facts you’ve come across, sentences you like, insights that strike you. Let it be random. And let it build. Over time you’ll build up a rich source of inspiration, and you’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that relates to this...’ And suddenly your mind starts firing away with new ideas and ways of thinking.”
7. According to Leslie, what happens as we get older?
A. We gradually lose our natural curiosity.
B. We are less aware of our knowledge gaps.
C. We are unwilling to let others benefit from our ideas.
D. We may think asking questions makes people foolish.
8. Which of the following sayings might Leslie agree with?
A. A day’s planning is best done at daybreak.
B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. A master can lead you to the door, but the rest is up to you.
D. When three people walk together, one can surely be my teacher.
9. Which of the following is a characteristic of a “spark file”?
A. It is carefully organized.
B. It can help people connect ideas.
C. It only contains complete sentences.
D. It can help people improve their memory.
10. What is the writer’s aim in this passage?
A. To prove Ian Leslie’s arguments. B. To summarise Ian Leslie’s viewpoint.
C. To question Ian Leslie’s conclusions. D. To introduce Ian Leslie’s achievements.
【答案】7. A 8. D 9. B 10. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍Ian Leslie的观点:人天生好奇,但成年后好奇心易减退,并给出培养好奇心的方法。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet according to human behaviourist and author of Curious, Ian Leslie, although we are all born curious, not all of us bring this into adulthood, and we can lose out as a result.(然而《好奇心》一书的作者、人类行为学家Ian Leslie认为,虽然我们生来就充满好奇心,但并不是所有人都能把好奇心保持到成年,我们也会因此蒙受损失。)”以及第二段“As Leslie explains, curiosity shapes us from the start. By trying new things, we build knowledge, and want to know more. “We are born aware that we don’t know stuff — we want to experience and discover.” However, the contrast between childhood and adulthood is clear. “We ask 40,000 questions a year between the ages of two and five,” says Leslie — around 110 each day; adults, in comparison, ask just 20.(Leslie解释说,好奇心从一开始就塑造着我们。通过尝试新鲜事物,我们积累知识,并且想要了解更多。“我们生来就知道自己有所不知 —— 我们想要去体验、去发现。”但童年与成年之间的差距十分明显。Leslie说:“在两岁到五岁之间,我们一年会提出四万个问题,大约每天110个;相比之下,成年人每天只问20个问题”)”可知,随着年龄增长,我们会渐渐失去与生俱来的好奇心。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“So does finding what Leslie calls an “informal mentor”, through work or other circles, who is happy to share their expertise, from a skill, technology, to a field of learning.(还有一个办法,就是找到Leslie所说的“非正式导师”。你可以在工作或者其他社交圈子里寻找这类人,他们乐于分享专业学识,内容涵盖一项技能、一门技术,乃至某一个学科领域。)”可知,Leslie认同可以向他人学习,对应“三人行,必有我师焉”。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Leslie also suggests creating a “spark file” — a digital or physical notebook in which you collect interesting thoughts. “Fill it with facts you’ve come across, sentences you like, insights that strike you. Let it be random. And let it build. Over time you’ll build up a rich source of inspiration, and you’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that relates to this...’ And suddenly your mind starts firing away with new ideas and ways of thinking.”(Leslie还建议建立一份“灵感笔记”,可以是电子或者纸质笔记本,用来收集有意思的想法。“里面记下你偶然看到的事实、喜欢的句子、打动你的感悟。内容不用规整,慢慢积累。久而久之,你就拥有丰富的灵感宝库,你会想:‘哦,这个很有意思,它和那个是有关联的……’这时你的脑海里就会源源不断涌现出新想法和新思路。”)”可知,灵感笔记可以帮助人们串联想法。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章围绕Ian Leslie关于好奇心的看法以及他给出的培养好奇心的建议展开。作者旨在总结Ian Leslie的观点。
第二节 语句排序(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
11. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序,构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A.Helping keep the home running smoothly raises a child’s confidence. Just don’t expect perfection. This is a learning process(过程), and children will develop their skills as time passes. Praise your child’s effort in each task, rather than focusing on the result. Small achievements lead to bigger ones.
B.After the age of 16 years, many teens take on part-time work or a summer job, which is fantastic. But it’s not a reason to stop helping with home chores(家务杂活). Can you imagine if as parents we didn’t keep up with household jobs because we “had to go to work”? Make sure your teen knows that the work within the home is as valuable as the work outside the home.
C.As your child enters their teen years, household chores still play an important part in their overall development. Chores play a role in the busy household and develop important life skills. Caring for shared spaces within the home also develops the idea of shared teamwork that will last into adulthood.
D.Household chores and responsibilities are integral to a child’s development. Young children are naturally willing helpers. Take advantage of this and develop a culture of teamwork in your home.
E.You may wonder if your teen can perform the household tasks. Just remember, if your teen can use a smartphone, they can work out how to use a washing machine and a dishwasher. If your teen has too many extracurricular activities, consider the big picture. Many of our teenagers are overscheduled. However, baseball practice doesn’t make anyone “too busy” to take out the garbage(垃圾).
______→______→______→______→______
【答案】 ①. D ②. A ③. C ④. E ⑤. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了引导孩子做家务的意义和注意事项。
【详解】本文是按照孩子的成长时期来说明引导孩子做家务的意义的。文章应该从少年儿童开始说起,所以,D项“Household chores and responsibilities are integral to a child’s development. Young children are naturally willing helpers. Take advantage of this and develop a culture of teamwork in your home.(家务和责任是孩子成长不可或缺的一部分。小孩子天生乐于助人。利用这一点,在家里培养一种团队合作的文化。)”应该是第一句,D项中的young children是关键词。接下来应该说培养少年儿童做家务应该注意的问题,所以A项“Helping keep the home running smoothly raises a child’s confidence. Just don’t expect perfection. This is a learning process(过程), and children will develop their skills as time passes. Praise your child’s effort in each task, rather than focusing on the result. Small achievements lead to bigger ones.(帮助家庭顺利运转可以提高孩子的自信心。只是不要期待完美。这是一个学习的过程,随着时间的推移,孩子们会发展他们的技能。赞扬孩子在每一项任务中的努力,而不是只关注结果。小成就通向大成就。)”应该是第二句。下一个阶段应该是进入青少年时期,所以,C项“As your child enters their teen years, household chores still play an important part in their overall development. Chores play a role in the busy household and develop important life skills. Caring for shared spaces within the home also develops the idea of shared teamwork that will last into adulthood.(当你的孩子进入青少年时期,家务仍然在他们的整体发展中扮演着重要的角色。家务在忙碌的家庭中扮演着重要的角色,并能培养重要的生活技能。照顾家里的共享空间也会培养出团队合作的想法,这种想法会持续到成年。)”应该是第三句。接下来应该说这一时期,父母应该注意的问题,所以,E项“You may wonder if your teen can perform the household tasks. Just remember, if your teen can use a smartphone, they can work out how to use a washing machine and a dishwasher. If your teen has too many extracurricular activities, consider the big picture. Many of our teenagers are overscheduled. However, baseball practice doesn’t make anyone “too busy” to take out the garbage(你可能想知道你的孩子是否能完成家务。只要记住,如果你的孩子会使用智能手机,他们就能学会如何使用洗衣机和洗碗机。如果你的孩子有太多的课外活动,考虑一下大局。许多青少年的日程都排得满满的。然而,棒球练习并不会让任何人“太忙”而没有时间去倒垃圾)”应该是第四句。最后,应该是说接近成年的孩子,B项中的“After the age of 16 years”是关键词,所以B项“After the age of 16 years, many teens take on part-time work or a summer job, which is fantastic. But it’s not a reason to stop helping with home chores. Can you imagine if as parents we didn’t keep up with household jobs because we “had to go to work”? Make sure your teen knows that the work within the home is as valuable as the work outside the home.(16岁以后,许多青少年从事兼职工作或暑期工作,这是非常棒的。但这并不是停止帮忙做家务的理由。你能想象如果作为父母的我们因为“不得不去工作”而没有跟上家务吗?让你的孩子知道家里的工作和外面的工作一样有价值。)”是最后一句。故答案为D;A;C;E;B。
第三节 选句填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。
The important things to consider when planning a multi-generational holiday trip
Take the whole family to a beach or a mountain, forming holiday memories that will last a lifetime. Whether those memories are pleasant or not will depend on a lot of things, but the one you can control most is how well you plan the trip. Multi-generational travel is different from planning for just yourself or your family. ____12____
Perhaps your family is happy to have one person take control. But you may have newer family members who consider vacation planning a more collective experience. If that’s the case, you need to make sure they feel like they had some input in the process, or you won’t get much participation. ____13____
Holiday resorts are likely a better choice than a big house or hotels, both because they offer separate condos (公寓式旅馆) where people can operate on their own schedules and because they offer activities, meals, and other entertainment (消遣) you won’t have to plan. Condos also often come with kitchens, if you do feel like having dinner at home a couple of times. ____14____ You might not want to share a hotel room with your brother and his wife, for example. But sharing a two-bedroom condo--which is usually about the same price — just feels like being roommates.
So finding a resort with activities that fit as many people’s interests as possible is key. ____15____ Your cousins may prefer doing food tours. Your father-in-law may just want a big pool. Regardless of what your family enjoys, think about everyone’s interest—or at least what you know of them—and find a place that has as many as possible.
____16____ Even if you’re leading the trip planning, leave group-activity planning to the people who want to do it as they’ll have the most drive and motivation (动机) to make it happen. Don’t force anyone into doing activities they aren’t interested in doing. So once you’re there, try your best to have a good time with them.
A. You may be a big diver.
B. Childcare on vacation is a big one.
C. The point of this whole thing is to have fun.
D. Making food for that many people is difficult.
E. And multi-bedroom setups allow for the less cost.
F. You’ve got all sorts of things to consider for a large group of people.
G. So making sure everyone’s planning styles are respected is an important early step.
【答案】12. F 13. G 14. E 15. A 16. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了计划多代人的假日旅行时,需要考虑的重要事项,文章就这一方面做出建议。
【12题详解】
上一句提到“多代同堂的旅行不同于只为自己或家人做计划的旅行”,F项“你要为一大群人考虑各种事情”,承接上文,并且呼应下面的第二段介绍了计划时需要考虑的事情。故选F项。
【13题详解】
上文中说“如果是这种情况,你需要确保他们觉得他们在这个过程中有一些投入,否则你不会得到太多的参与。”,切合G选项“因此,确保每个人的规划风格得到尊重是一个重要的早期步骤”。故选G项。
【14题详解】
联系下文“您可能不想与您的兄弟和他的妻子共享一个酒店房间。但合租一套两居室公寓,通常价格差不多,感觉就像合租一样。”可知, E选项“采用多卧室的设置并可以降低成本”与下文呼应。故选E项。
【15题详解】
上一句“因此,找到一个能满足尽可能多的人兴趣的活动的度假胜地是关键。”按照逻辑接下来应该说的是每个人的兴趣,而下文“你的堂兄弟姐妹可能更喜欢美食之旅,你的岳父可能只想要一个大游泳池。”正好印证这一点,故应该选择A选项“你可能是个潜水能手。”故选A项。
【16题详解】
根据下文“不要强迫别人做他们不感兴趣的事。所以一旦你到了那里,尽你最大的努力和他们玩得开心。”,可以推断该段说明旅行的最大意义就是玩的开心,因此C项“整个事情最重要的事情就是开心”切题。故选C项。
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。
My mom enjoyed inviting people for Thanksgiving. After my family moved far away from all our ____17____, Mom started filling the house with ____18____ guests—whoever had nowhere else to go for Thanksgiving.

After dinner, Mom suggested sharing something we were thankful for—another annual _____27_____ at our house. “I’m so _____28_____ to your family for opening up home to us.” The single mom spoke with watery eyes.

62. 做老师意味着,你有机会在孩子们敞开心扉,渴望学习的时候,走进他们的心灵。(汉译英)
【答案】Being a teacher means you have the opportunity to get into the hearts of children when they are open and eager to learn.
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词,时态,主谓一致,时间状语从句和固定短语。根据句意可知,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,“做老师”用动名词作主语,是being a teacher,“意味着”是mean,动名词作主语时谓语动词用单数,因此mean用第三人称单数,“你有机会做某事”是you have the opportunity to do sth.,“走进他们的心灵”是get into the hearts of children,“在孩子们敞开心扉,渴望学习的时候”用when引导时间状语从句,“敞开心扉”是be open,“渴望学习”是be eager to learn,为避免重复,省略be,主语they是复数,因此be open中的be用are,因此整句话翻译为“Being a teacher means you have the opportunity to get into the hearts of children when they are open and eager to learn”。故答案为Being a teacher means you have the opportunity to get into the hearts of children when they are open and eager to learn.

64. 根据研究,超过2/3的年轻人发现在网上比在现实生活中更容易交朋友。(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】According to research, over two thirds of young people find it easier to make friends online than it is in real life.
【解析】
【详解】“根据研究”可翻译为固定介词短语according to research,作状语,位于句首;“超过2/3的年轻人”译为over two-thirds of young people;“发现做某事是……的”使用固定句型find it + adj. + to do sth.,其中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语,故“发现更容易交朋友”译为find it easier to make friends;“在网上”译为online,作地点状语;“比在现实生活中”译为than it is in real life,与前面的online形成比较。句子陈述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语over two-thirds of young people表示复数概念,谓语动词用原形find。

A
Anxiety has followed me around like a lost dog looking for a bone for years now. I feel it the most strongly when I’m worried about my health or my daughter’s health. I feel an unusual sensation and all of a sudden: panic! My worries are not limited to health concerns though, and they go in the direction of anxiety about the future of the world, worries about my finances, and fears that I’m not good enough.
Let me go back a few decades, back to when anxiety wasn’t part of my life. When I was a child, I loved art. I drew and I colored because that’s what I enjoyed. I went to college to become an art teacher. When I finished school in May of 2001, I had a part-time design job, and after the event of September 11th, 2001, I knew I needed to travel, to get out of the safe life I was living in my hometown. That’s when my creative practices fell by the wayside.
Luckily, after the birth of my daughter in 2014, the desire to create came back. At first, I was using a tiny corner of a bedroom in our rental house to paint. Eventually we bought a house, and I had the space to spread out, ready to paint whenever the urge struck. That’s when I started noticing something important: Painting stilled me in a way that nothing else did. It eased my fears and anxieties in a way other practices (deep breathing, etc) did not, at least not as consistently. When anxious thoughts start, I know what to do. I head into my studio, grab some materials, and start creating. Soon enough, the worries are gone and instead my mind is quiet.
I think the reason why painting is so helpful for my anxiety is that, in order for me to be anxious, I have to be worrying about the future and what it holds. When I’m doing an activity that requires my full concentration, I have to be in the moment. It doesn’t matter if you’re artistic. The only thing that matters is finding a way to be here, in the now, instead of in the unknowable future.
1. Which of the following best describes the author in paragraph 1?
A. Cautious. B. Impatient. C. Carefree. D. Insecure.
2. How does painting ease the author’s fears and anxieties?
A. Painting makes her stay in a place.
B. Colors of painting calm her down.
C. Painting makes less room for worries.
D. Painting is a very creative activity.
3. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. What is important is to seize the moment.
B. Anxiety may be beneficial to life at times.
C. It is necessary to learn some art in childhood.
D. Painting is the best way to ease people’s mind.
B
We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, a new research has claimed.
The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and seven months, at which we typically have five close friends. Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months with men hitting the friendship highest point a little later at 27 years and three months.
The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults (36%) meet their closest friends while at school, with about a fifth (22%) saying they meet them at work.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship. The research points out that 25 to 34-year-olds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24-year-olds who make 12, and 35 to 44-year-olds who make just four.
Forever Friends relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes, giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.”

Curiosity — the desire to know, to discover, to learn. Inspired by curiosity, humans are found everywhere on our planet, and beyond it in space. Yet according to human behaviourist and author of Curious, Ian Leslie, although we are all born curious, not all of us bring this into adulthood, and we can lose out as a result.
As Leslie explains, curiosity shapes us from the start. By trying new things, we build knowledge, and want to know more. “We are born aware that we don’t know stuff — we want to experience and discover.” However, the contrast between childhood and adulthood is clear. “We ask 40,000 questions a year between the ages of two and five,” says Leslie — around 110 each day; adults, in comparison, ask just 20.
As we get older, we may feel hesitant about asking questions, believing this reveals gaps in our knowledge. We can become scared to share unconventional ideas for fear of criticism or misunderstanding. We can also be a victim of our success, as Leslie explains. “Once you’ve worked out how to do your job, then you don’t feel curious anymore. The need to learn goes away — in a way, curiosity has done its job. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t cultivate it.”
Leslie’s tips for cultivating curiosity begin with spending time with the experts — children. “Talk to your kids, and try to answer those weird, difficult questions they have — like ‘What is air?’ This makes you think about things you’ve taken for granted — it reawakens your curiosity in what’s around us and how we perceive the world.”
So does finding what Leslie calls an “informal mentor”, through work or other circles, who is happy to share their expertise, from a skill, technology, to a field of learning. “Try to think of people the way children think of adults — as sources of secret knowledge, a great store of learning you can tap into,” says Leslie.
Leslie also suggests creating a “spark file” — a digital or physical notebook in which you collect interesting thoughts. “Fill it with facts you’ve come across, sentences you like, insights that strike you. Let it be random. And let it build. Over time you’ll build up a rich source of inspiration, and you’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that relates to this...’ And suddenly your mind starts firing away with new ideas and ways of thinking.”
7. According to Leslie, what happens as we get older?
A. We gradually lose our natural curiosity.
B. We are less aware of our knowledge gaps.
C. We are unwilling to let others benefit from our ideas.
D. We may think asking questions makes people foolish.
8. Which of the following sayings might Leslie agree with?
A. A day’s planning is best done at daybreak.
B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. A master can lead you to the door, but the rest is up to you.
D. When three people walk together, one can surely be my teacher.
9. Which of the following is a characteristic of a “spark file”?
A. It is carefully organized.
B. It can help people connect ideas.
C. It only contains complete sentences.
D. It can help people improve their memory.
10. What is the writer’s aim in this passage?
A. To prove Ian Leslie’s arguments. B. To summarise Ian Leslie’s viewpoint.
C. To question Ian Leslie’s conclusions. D. To introduce Ian Leslie’s achievements.
第二节 语句排序(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
11. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序,构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A.Helping keep the home running smoothly raises a child’s confidence. Just don’t expect perfection. This is a learning process(过程), and children will develop their skills as time passes. Praise your child’s effort in each task, rather than focusing on the result. Small achievements lead to bigger ones.
B.After the age of 16 years, many teens take on part-time work or a summer job, which is fantastic. But it’s not a reason to stop helping with home chores(家务杂活). Can you imagine if as parents we didn’t keep up with household jobs because we “had to go to work”? Make sure your teen knows that the work within the home is as valuable as the work outside the home.
C.As your child enters their teen years, household chores still play an important part in their overall development. Chores play a role in the busy household and develop important life skills. Caring for shared spaces within the home also develops the idea of shared teamwork that will last into adulthood.
D.Household chores and responsibilities are integral to a child’s development. Young children are naturally willing helpers. Take advantage of this and develop a culture of teamwork in your home.
E.You may wonder if your teen can perform the household tasks. Just remember, if your teen can use a smartphone, they can work out how to use a washing machine and a dishwasher. If your teen has too many extracurricular activities, consider the big picture. Many of our teenagers are overscheduled. However, baseball practice doesn’t make anyone “too busy” to take out the garbage(垃圾).
______→______→______→______→______

The important things to consider when planning a multi-generational holiday trip
Take the whole family to a beach or a mountain, forming holiday memories that will last a lifetime. Whether those memories are pleasant or not will depend on a lot of things, but the one you can control most is how well you plan the trip. Multi-generational travel is different from planning for just yourself or your family. ____12____
Perhaps your family is happy to have one person take control. But you may have newer family members who consider vacation planning a more collective experience. If that’s the case, you need to make sure they feel like they had some input in the process, or you won’t get much participation. ____13____
Holiday resorts are likely a better choice than a big house or hotels, both because they offer separate condos (公寓式旅馆) where people can operate on their own schedules and because they offer activities, meals, and other entertainment (消遣) you won’t have to plan. Condos also often come with kitchens, if you do feel like having dinner at home a couple of times. ____14____ You might not want to share a hotel room with your brother and his wife, for example. But sharing a two-bedroom condo--which is usually about the same price — just feels like being roommates.
So finding a resort with activities that fit as many people’s interests as possible is key. ____15____ Your cousins may prefer doing food tours. Your father-in-law may just want a big pool. Regardless of what your family enjoys, think about everyone’s interest—or at least what you know of them—and find a place that has as many as possible.
____16____ Even if you’re leading the trip planning, leave group-activity planning to the people who want to do it as they’ll have the most drive and motivation (动机) to make it happen. Don’t force anyone into doing activities they aren’t interested in doing. So once you’re there, try your best to have a good time with them.
A. You may be a big diver.
B. Childcare on vacation is a big one.
C. The point of this whole thing is to have fun.
D. Making food for that many people is difficult.
E. And multi-bedroom setups allow for the less cost.
F. You’ve got all sorts of things to consider for a large group of people.
G. So making sure everyone’s planning styles are respected is an important early step.
