A. by mistake B. with confidence C. on purpose D. in panic 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：大卫在比赛中忘记了演讲词，惊慌地站在舞台上，一句话也说不出来。A. by mistake错误地；B. with confidence满怀信心地；C. on purpose故意；D. in panic恐慌地。根据“David forgot his speech during the competition”可知，比赛时忘记演讲词应该是感到恐慌，in panic“恐慌地”符合语境。故选D。 3. （2017·天津）Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming, ___________ as one of the best all-round forms of exercise. A. regard B. is regarded C. are regarded D. regards 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意：现在骑自行车，慢跑和游泳被认为是最全面的锻炼方式之一。根据动词短语regard…as…“把……看作……”和句意确定应该用被动语态，排除A和D。再根据主语部分是由介词短语along with 连接的三个动名词做主语，应该谓语动词应该就前一致，即用单数，排除C，故选B。 【点睛】本题考查方向涉及到动词的语态和主谓一致，首先要把握句意，判断主谓之间是主动还是被动关系，再者就是考查学生的考虑是否全面，即加之判断谓语动词的单复数，考查了学生对主谓一致中就前一致的把握。 4.

Read on to see which line you want to start your journey with. Xining to Lhasa Length: around 1,900 km long Price: 781 yuan for a soft sleeper The railway line is popular with travellers who want to visit Tibet. It is the longest high altitude (海拔) train trip in the world and is named as “the way to the sky”. Most of the line is over 4,000 meters. You can see Qinghai Lake outside the train’s windows. Chengdu to Kunming Length: around 1,100 km long Price: 487.5 yuan for a second class The railway line has been in service since July 1970. From Chengdu, with an altitude of 400 meters or so, the train goes up to about 2,000 meters across mountains. This line is called Geological Museum (地质博物馆) because of the special geography along the railway line. Lhasa to Rikaze Length: around 250 km long Price: 64 yuan for a soft seat This railway line connects to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and has an altitude of above 3,600 meters. It makes Tibet travel easier for travellers, especially those who want to see Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world. 41. Why is Xining to Lhasa Railway called “the way to the sky”? A. Because most of it is over 4,000 meters. B. Because it gives travellers a feeling of flying. C. Because there are many high mountains along it. D. Because you can see Qinghai Lake outside the train’s windows. 42.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了我国三条可供人们欣赏美景的铁路线。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据Xining to Lhasa部分“It is the longest high altitude (海拔) train trip in the world and is named as “the way to the sky”. Most of the line is over 4,000 meters.(这是世界上最长的高海拔火车之旅，被称为“通往天空的道路”。大部分线路都超过4000米)”可知，西宁至拉萨铁路被称为“通往天空的道路”是因为大部分线路超过4000米。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chengdu to Kunming部分“Price: 487.5 yuan for a second class(二等座票价487.5元) ”可知，一个人是487.5元，夫妻二人总费用为487.5×2=975元。因此格林先生和他的妻子计划从成都到昆明的火车旅行时，他们的二等票应该付975元。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chengdu to Kunming部分“This line is called Geological Museum (地质博物馆) because of the special geography along the railway line.(由于铁路沿线的特殊地貌，这条线路被称为地质博物馆)”可知，成昆铁路沿线地貌特殊。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lhasa to Rikaze部分“It makes Tibet travel easier for travellers, especially those who want to see Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world.(这使得游客在西藏旅行更加方便，尤其是那些想要看到世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰的游客)”可知，从拉萨到日喀则的铁路使旅行者更容易看到珠穆朗玛峰。故选A。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The three most wonderful train journeys provide the natural beauty of our motherland.(三条最精彩的火车之旅展现了我们祖国的自然美景)”可知，这三条铁路线带我们去欣赏祖国的美丽。故选C。 B POLYGLOTS: WHAT ARE THEY AND WHO CAN BE ONE? Some polyglots, who can speak quite a few languages, may seem especially talented. Zhao Yuanren, a Chinese American linguist, could speak seven languages and more than 30 dialects. England’s Queen Elizabeth I could speak about 10 languages. A famous Italian named Guiseppe Mezzofanti was reported to have been able to communicate in 30 to 40 languages. Polyglots are indeed amazing, but American teenager Tim Doner is living proof that anyone can try to be one. As a child, Tim studied French and Latin at school, but he found it difficult to be interested in just words and grammar rules. When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realised he could put them together to make sentences! He started looking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practise, and then, he decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew. Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrote nice comments on his videos and gave him advice. Tim loved it. He could actually communicate with people! After that, Tim started looking for new languages to learn, and posting more videos of himself speaking new languages, including Chinese. Tim also began to use many other methods to make learning fun. Tim wishes everyone would learn more than one language and not just as a school subject. “Knowing a language is a lot more than knowing a couple of words out of a dictionary,” Tim says. Languages are for communicating with people, learning about their culture, and understanding how different people think. “Open up your mind to the fact that language represents a cultural world view,” says Tim. “You can translate words easily, but you can’t quite translate meaning.” Or, as Nelson Mandela said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” 46. Who could speak the most languages according to the article? A. Zhao Yuanren. B. Queen Elizabeth I. C. Guiseppe Mezzofanti. D. Tim Doner. 47. What made Tim Doner start learning Hebrew? A. His interest in Hebrew grammar. B. His love for Hebrew rap music. C. His desire to communicate with Hebrews. D. His school’s requirement. 48. How did Tim improve his language learning? A. Only by taking formal classes. B. Just by watching language videos. C. Through various methods including posting language videos. D. By simply reading dictionaries. 49. What does Tim think about learning languages? A. It’s just about memorizing words. B. It should be only a school subject. C. It’s mainly for getting good grades. D. It’s about communication, culture and understanding different minds. 50. What can be inferred from Nelson Mandela’s quote “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”? A. Learning a new language is very difficult. B. Speaking a person’s native language can have a deeper impact. C. People only care about their own language. D. Translating languages is a waste of time. 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了美国少年Tim Doner从对语言学习产生兴趣到用多种方法学习多门语言的经历，说明学习语言不只是记单词，更是为了交流、了解文化和理解不同思维方式。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Zhao Yuanren, a Chinese American linguist, could speak seven languages and more than 30 dialects. England’s Queen Elizabeth I could speak about 10 languages. A famous Italian named Guiseppe Mezzofanti was reported to have been able to communicate in 30 to 40 languages. (美籍华人语言学家赵元任会说7种语言和30多种方言。英国女王伊丽莎白一世会说大约10种语言。据说，一位名叫Guiseppe Mezzofanti的著名意大利人能够用30到40种语言进行交流)”以及文中仅提到Tim学习法语、拉丁语、希伯来语、阿拉伯语及汉语可知，Guiseppe Mezzofanti会的语言最多。故选C项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realised he could put them together to make sentences! He started looking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practise, and then, he decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. (13岁时，Tim开始听希伯来说唱音乐。有一天，他在词典里查单词，意识到他可以把它们组合成句子！他开始寻找会说希伯来语的人，这样他就可以练习了，然后，他决定报名参加一个夏季阿拉伯语班)”可知，Tim对希伯来说唱音乐的喜爱促使他开始学习希伯来语。故选B项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew. (一天晚上，只是为了好玩，他发布了一段自己说阿拉伯语的视频和另一段他说希伯来语的视频)”和“After that, Tim started looking for new languages to learn, and posting more videos of himself speaking new languages, including Chinese. Tim also began to use many other methods to make learning fun. (在那之后，Tim开始寻找新的语言学习，并发布了更多自己说新语言的视频，包括汉语。Tim也开始使用许多其他的方法来使学习变得有趣)”可知，Tim通过各种方法提高他的语言学习，包括发布语言视频。故选C项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““Knowing a language is a lot more than knowing a couple of words out of a dictionary,” Tim says. Languages are for communicating with people, learning about their culture, and understanding how different people think. “Open up your mind to the fact that language represents a cultural world view,” says Tim. (Tim说：“了解一门语言远不止从词典里知道几个单词那么简单。”语言是用来与人交流，学习他们的文化，理解不同的人是如何思考的。“打开你的思维，认识到语言代表着一种文化世界观，”Tim说)”可知，Tim认为学习语言是关于交流、文化以及理解不同人的思维方式。故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中曼德拉所说的这句名言“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. (如果你用一个人听得懂的语言和他说话，他会记住你的话。如果你用他的语言和他说话，那就会进入他的内心)”可知，与说他人仅理解的语言相比，说他的母语可以在更深层次上打动他。由此可知，说一个人的母语能产生更深的影响。故选B项。 C He is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life. The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall. But his athletic achievements, as impressive as they are, are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man. Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens, Hall was rated among the country’s top 25 high school basketball players. An inner-city kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College — still recovering from its failure — back to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主) brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle. However, I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight. After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career. The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball. When I met Hall — still fit at 46 — for lunch Monday, he wore a cut-sharp gray suit, designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Success. “That was always the question — when the cheers end, where do you go? Who do you turn to?” he said. “It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.” Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good of an athlete you are, you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said. “But if you take care of things academically, you are prepared until you leave this earth.” For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs. He figured out early what others learn too late: Athletics is part of a journey, not the destination. Congratulations, Ray, you made it. In more ways than one. 51. Ray was regarded as a savior because ________. A. he liked to take on challenges B. he helped his team to regain its glory C. he was faithful to his hometown city D. he fought hard against failure at a young age 52. According to the writer, which of the following best describes Ray’s success? A. Unlike other athletes, he was academically superior. B. He defeated his injury and returned to the playground. C. He enjoys a successful job and a happy family. D. He has gained impressive athletic achievements. 53. What’s the right order of the events related to Ray? a. He was rated among the best high school basketball players. b. He was in a car accident. c. He graduated from Canisius College. d. He started his computer sales job. e. He gave up his athletic career. A. a, c, b, e, d B. a, c, e, b, d C. c, a, b, d, e D. c, a, e, b, d 54. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. Ray was from an academic family B. Ray was very mature in his teens C. Ray was once desperate facing the cruel reality D. athletics was not Ray’s final goal in life 55. What was the writer’s intention in writing this passage? A. To describe the difficulties of being a professional athlete. B. To explain the importance of choosing the right college. C. To emphasize the need for a good education. D. To warn against playing professional basketball. 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. A 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了被称为“Sugar Ray”的篮球运动员Hall的故事以及他的个人经历和对我们的启示。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“An inner-city kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College — still recovering from its failure — back to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主) brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle. However, I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.(霍尔来自一个稳固的家庭，他接受了挑战，让仍在从失败中恢复的加尼修斯学院恢复体面，拒绝了更多有利的邀请。救世主的身份给他带来的压力比任何一个18岁的人都要大。然而，我看着他逐渐成长为带领卡尼修斯回归光明的球员。)”可知，他帮助自己的球队重新获得了荣誉因此被称为救世主。故B项正确。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs.(在过去的14年里，他一直在英迈公司从事计算机销售工作。他和大学时代的恋人结婚了。他们在郊区有三个孩子和一栋漂亮的房子。)”可知，Hall有一份成功的工作和一个幸福的家庭。故C项正确。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens, Hall was rated among the country’s top 25 high school basketball players.(霍尔十几岁时被称为“Sugar Ray”，被评为全国前25名高中篮球运动员之一。)”；“Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College (霍尔接受了提升卡尼修斯学院的挑战)”；第三段的“After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career.(大学毕业后，霍尔在意大利和希腊打了10多年的职业篮球，直到32岁时的一场车祸结束了他的篮球生涯。)”和第四段的“For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. (在过去的14年里，他一直在英迈公司从事计算机销售工作。)”可知，霍尔在高中被评为最优秀的篮球运动员之一，后来毕业于卡尼修斯学院，一场车祸介绍了他的篮球生涯，他放弃了运动事业，开始了从事计算机销售工作。故可知A项顺序正确，故A项正确。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段的“ He figured out early what others learn too late: Athletics is part of a journey, not the destination.(他很早就明白了别人很晚才明白的道理:运动是人生旅程的一部分，而不是终点。)”可知，运动不是他的终极目标。故D项正确。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第三段“Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good of an athlete you are, you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said. “But if you take care of things academically, you are prepared until you leave this earth.”(霍尔从父母那里得到了“学术第一”的观念。他提前一个学期从加尼修斯学院毕业。“无论你是多么优秀的运动员，只要受一次伤，你就会失去一切，”他说。“但如果你把学业上的事情做好了，你就会做好准备，直到你离开这个世界。”)可知，作者写这篇文章是想要通过霍尔的故事，强调良好的教育的重要性。故C项正确。 D What does being “smart” mean? The 16th-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne argued that we made a big mistake in regarding book learning or formal school education as sources of our most important lessons. He famously said that we can be knowledgeable with another man’s knowledge but cannot be wise with another man’s wisdom. And wisdom — which, to Michel de Montaigne, meant living well — was the only kind of “smart”. Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences. Reflecting well means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometres from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce! Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control. What does a smart person look like? I used to think it was someone you find in cafes with a complicated-sounding book in front of them. I tend, these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it. 56. What is Montaigne’s main point about wisdom? A. It relies on rich academic knowledge. B. It demands a high level of intelligence. C. It is gained through deep self-reflection. D. It comes from learning others’ wisdom. 57. What does “Reflecting well” primarily involve? A. Discovering root elements. B. Identifying obvious reasons. C. Recalling emotional states. D. Reproducing pleasant conditions. 58. Why does the author mention the Vondelpark experience? A. To explain how to reproduce a holiday. B. To prove the importance of travelling. C. To advise people to get close to nature. D. To show the essence of true reflection. 59. What else is important for true wisdom? A. Avoiding all forms of deprivation. B. Mastering academic knowledge. C. Seeking immediate satisfaction. D. Practicing strong self-control. 60. What is a vital quality of a smart person according to the author? A. Reading complicated books in public. B. Being optimistic about awkward moments. C. Avoiding making silly mistakes carefully. D. Showing off their rich knowledge. 【答案】56. C 57. A 58. D 59. D 60. B 【解析】 【导语】主要探讨智慧与聪明的真正内涵，阐述深度反思、自律自控及乐观心态对拥有人生智慧的重要意义。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences.(蒙田认为，凡是愿意且能够对自身经历进行良好反思的人，都可以拥有智慧。)”可知，蒙田认为智慧源于深刻的自我反思。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Reflecting well means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced.(良好的反思不只是留意带给自己不同感受的事情，而是要理解事物可归结出的最根本要素。)”可知，良好反思的核心是挖掘事物的根本要素。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Reflecting well  means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometres from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce!(善于反思，绝不仅仅是留意那些让你产生种种情绪的事。它意味着，要看透这些事背后最本质的核心。 当你意识到：自己在阿姆斯特丹的冯德伦公园时满心欢喜，并非因为身处假期、离家数百公里，而是因为置身于大自然之中，这多么值得欣喜啊！毕竟，这种愉悦的条件其实更容易复刻。)”可知，作者举例是为了阐释真正反思的本质。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline.(智慧需要人们调整生活、善用自我认知，而这反过来需要自律。)”以及“One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control. (我今年收获的最宝贵感悟之一，就是克制住上网刷东西的冲动，让自己摆脱了虚拟世界的牢牢束缚。)”可知，真正的智慧需要强大的自我约束与自控力。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I tend, these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it.(如今我认同蒙田的观点，智慧最确切的标志是开朗豁达。在我眼中，真正聪明的人即便闹出撞杆、绊脚的尴尬状况，也能一笑置之。)”可知，作者认为聪明的人面对尴尬时刻能保持乐观豁达。 IV．完成句子（共10小题，每空1分，共20分） 61.

Read on to see which line you want to start your journey with. Xining to Lhasa Length: around 1,900 km long Price: 781 yuan for a soft sleeper The railway line is popular with travellers who want to visit Tibet. It is the longest high altitude (海拔) train trip in the world and is named as “the way to the sky”. Most of the line is over 4,000 meters. You can see Qinghai Lake outside the train’s windows.

From Chengdu, with an altitude of 400 meters or so, the train goes up to about 2,000 meters across mountains. This line is called Geological Museum (地质博物馆) because of the special geography along the railway line. Lhasa to Rikaze Length: around 250 km long Price: 64 yuan for a soft seat This railway line connects to the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and has an altitude of above 3,600 meters. It makes Tibet travel easier for travellers, especially those who want to see Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world. 41. Why is Xining to Lhasa Railway called “the way to the sky”? A.

Some polyglots, who can speak quite a few languages, may seem especially talented. Zhao Yuanren, a Chinese American linguist, could speak seven languages and more than 30 dialects. England’s Queen Elizabeth I could speak about 10 languages. A famous Italian named Guiseppe Mezzofanti was reported to have been able to communicate in 30 to 40 languages. Polyglots are indeed amazing, but American teenager Tim Doner is living proof that anyone can try to be one. As a child, Tim studied French and Latin at school, but he found it difficult to be interested in just words and grammar rules. When he was 13, Tim started listening to Hebrew rap music. One day, he looked up the words in a dictionary and realised he could put them together to make sentences! He started looking for people who spoke Hebrew so he could practise, and then, he decided to sign up for a summer Arabic class. One evening, just for fun, he posted a video of himself speaking Arabic and another of him speaking Hebrew. Hebrew and Arabic speakers wrote nice comments on his videos and gave him advice. Tim loved it. He could actually communicate with people! After that, Tim started looking for new languages to learn, and posting more videos of himself speaking new languages, including Chinese. Tim also began to use many other methods to make learning fun. Tim wishes everyone would learn more than one language and not just as a school subject. “Knowing a language is a lot more than knowing a couple of words out of a dictionary,” Tim says. Languages are for communicating with people, learning about their culture, and understanding how different people think. “Open up your mind to the fact that language represents a cultural world view,” says Tim. “You can translate words easily, but you can’t quite translate meaning.” Or, as Nelson Mandela said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” 46. Who could speak the most languages according to the article? A. Zhao Yuanren. B. Queen Elizabeth I. C. Guiseppe Mezzofanti. D. Tim Doner. 47. What made Tim Doner start learning Hebrew? A. His interest in Hebrew grammar. B. His love for Hebrew rap music. C. His desire to communicate with Hebrews. D. His school’s requirement. 48. How did Tim improve his language learning? A. Only by taking formal classes. B. Just by watching language videos. C. Through various methods including posting language videos. D. By simply reading dictionaries. 49. What does Tim think about learning languages? A. It’s just about memorizing words. B. It should be only a school subject. C. It’s mainly for getting good grades. D. It’s about communication, culture and understanding different minds. 50. What can be inferred from Nelson Mandela’s quote “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.”? A. Learning a new language is very difficult. B. Speaking a person’s native language can have a deeper impact. C. People only care about their own language. D. Translating languages is a waste of time. C He is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life. The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall. But his athletic achievements, as impressive as they are, are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man. Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens, Hall was rated among the country’s top 25 high school basketball players. An inner-city kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College — still recovering from its failure — back to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主) brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle. However, I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight. After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career. The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball. When I met Hall — still fit at 46 — for lunch Monday, he wore a cut-sharp gray suit, designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Success. “That was always the question — when the cheers end, where do you go? Who do you turn to?” he said. “It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.” Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good of an athlete you are, you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said. “But if you take care of things academically, you are prepared until you leave this earth.” For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs. He figured out early what others learn too late: Athletics is part of a journey, not the destination. Congratulations, Ray, you made it. In more ways than one. 51. Ray was regarded as a savior because ________.

The 16th-century philosopher Michel de Montaigne argued that we made a big mistake in regarding book learning or formal school education as sources of our most important lessons. He famously said that we can be knowledgeable with another man’s knowledge but cannot be wise with another man’s wisdom. And wisdom — which, to Michel de Montaigne, meant living well — was the only kind of “smart”. Wisdom, Michel de Montaigne thought, was available to anyone who was prepared and able to reflect well on their experiences. Reflecting well means more than just taking account of things that have made you feel one way or another. It means understanding the most basic elements to which they can be reduced. How wonderful to realise that you were so happy when you were in Vondelpark in Amsterdam, not because you were on holiday and hundreds of kilometres from home, but because you had been around nature. A condition much easier to reproduce! Wisdom takes a little bit more, however, than an ability to reflect well. It requires being able to adjust your life to make the best use of self-knowledge, which, in turn, can take discipline. Wisdom has a lot to do with understanding the eventual gains we can harvest from short-term deprivations (匮乏) and inconveniences. One of the best lessons I’ve learnt this year is that denying my urge to check something online has led to myself being freed from the virtual world’s tight control. What does a smart person look like? I used to think it was someone you find in cafes with a complicated-sounding book in front of them. I tend, these days, to agree with Michel de Montaigne that the most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. Somehow my current image of “smart” is able to include someone who often walks into poles or trips over their own feet, so long as they know how to smile about it. 56. What is Montaigne’s main point about wisdom? A. It relies on rich academic knowledge. B. It demands a high level of intelligence. C. It is gained through deep self-reflection. D. It comes from learning others’ wisdom. 57. What does “Reflecting well” primarily involve? A. Discovering root elements. B. Identifying obvious reasons. C. Recalling emotional states. D. Reproducing pleasant conditions. 58. Why does the author mention the Vondelpark experience? A. To explain how to reproduce a holiday. B. To prove the importance of travelling. C. To advise people to get close to nature. D. To show the essence of true reflection. 59. What else is important for true wisdom? A. Avoiding all forms of deprivation. B. Mastering academic knowledge. C. Seeking immediate satisfaction. D. Practicing strong self-control. 60. What is a vital quality of a smart person according to the author? A. Reading complicated books in public. B. Being optimistic about awkward moments. C. Avoiding making silly mistakes carefully. D. Showing off their rich knowledge. IV．完成句子（共10小题，每空1分，共20分） 61.
