A few years ago, I stood underneath a red overhanging cliff near my hometown. The weather was amazing. Deer chewed on the brown grasses by the river below. An eagle rode the wind. Townsfolk and visitors wandered in a nearby hot spring.
I was tied in, ready to climb. I was attempting to do a route first try, “onsight,” as we call it, which means I didn’t know what I was climbing into. It would have been a hard on sight for me to onsight hard climbs. You need clarity. No interference.
Just as I was about to climb, nerves in my body, which I hadn’t felt yet, said hello. That’s not good for any athlete. Desperate, I painted a coat of confidence on my inner walls of doubt. I visualized myself at the top, celebrating. “You can do this,” I firmly told myself. “If you believe, success is certain.”
It didn’t work. I fell near the top. Defeated, I lowered to the ground and realized powerfully that the desire to climb the route had kept me from doing it. My self-worth was bound together by my success or failure at that moment, and that set off a chain reaction: unnatural desire, pressure, performance anxiety, anticipation, a mind fascinated with the top but a body struggling below, bad decision-making, irregular movement, distraction, frustration. All in that order, too.
In a flash, I told myself that on my next attempt, success or failure was irrelevant. “Make one move at a time. That’s all.” I gave myself a pass from whatever would happen. It worked. I floated to the top with self-control and clarity.
That moment got me thinking. At some point, I framed this experience for myself in terms of simple mathematics. When I added determination, courage, self-confidence and desire, I failed. When I took away the desire for success, I improved. I enjoyed it more as well, which, as an athlete of 30 years, I didn’t think was possible. Eventually, I discovered the power of subtraction.
4. What can we infer from the author’s first attempt
A. He managed to reach the top of the cliff.
B. He fully knew what he was climbing into.
C. He was confident in his own ability to get over obstacles.
D. He employed mental practice in order to overcome his nervousness.
5. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4
A. To list his shortcomings. B. To give background information.
C. To describe a social phenomenon. D. To explain the reason for his failure.
6. Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Determined and sensible. B. Optimistic and humorous.
C. Modest and conservative. D. Aggressive and stubborn.
7. What is conveyed in the text
A. Every dog has its day. B. Sharp tools make good work.

C
As athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It’s called the video replay.
The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.
However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don’t you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those same views need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.
There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.
8. What trend in sports can be observed in paragraph 2
A. The video replay has been widely used.
B. League games have become competitive.
C Rules of professional games are becoming stricter.
D. People are showing more interest in sports than before.
9. What does the underlined word “tainting” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Tricking. B. Promoting. C. Damaging. D. Restoring.
10. What might the New Orleans Saints think of the referees in the NFC Championship Game
A. They relied a lot on the video replay.
B. They cared too much about details.
C. They were definitely stressed out.
D. They were terribly disqualified.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Video replays: high-end technology in sports
B. Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports
C. Officiating: a duty that requires honesty
D. What do qualified referees really mean
D
It’s good to be smart. After all, intelligent people earn more money, accumulate more wealth, and even live longer. But there’s another side to the story. The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense.
Travis Bradberry, president at TalentSmart, explained in his post Why Smart People Act So Stupid that “Rational thinking (理性思维) and intelligence don’t tend to go hand in hand. Intelligent people are more likely to make silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” They are so used to being right and having quick answers that they don’t even realize when they’re making a mess by answering without thinking things through.
A lifetime of praise leads smart people to develop too much faith in their intelligence and abilities. They often fail to recognize when they need help and when they do recognize it, they tend to believe that no one else is capable of providing it.
“It’s hard for anyone to graciously accept the fact that they’re wrong. It’s even harder for smart people because they grow so used to being right all the time that it becomes a part of their identity,” Bradberry wrote. “For smart people, being wrong can feel like a personal attack, and being right, a necessity.”
Smart people also have a hard time accepting feedback. They tend to undervalue the opinions of others, which means they have trouble believing that anyone is qualified to give them useful feedback. Not only does this tendency slow their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally.
Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder.
12. What do we learn from the passage about the brightest people
A. They can differ in their personalities.
B They are admired by people around them.
C. They usually face their own weaknesses calmly.
D. They can make silly mistakes in straightforward situations.
13. What accounts for the existence of intelligent people’s logical blind spots
A. Their irrational way of thinking. B. Too much concern about their work.
C. Too much faith in their ability to think. D. Their ignorance of behavioral science.
14. What may happen to smart people who find it difficult to accept suggestions
A. They may experience a lot of emotional stress.
B. They may commit more errors than ever before.
C. They may lose faith in their administrative abilities.
D. They may suffer in their professional and private life.
15. What is said about those working with or under overachieving people
A. They are under increasing pressure. B. They set higher goals for themselves.
C. They put a lot of effort into their work. D. They take less time to get things done.

A light rain was falling as my sister Jill and I ran out of the shop,eager to get home and play with the presents that our parents had prepared for us and our baby sister, Sharon.Across the street from the shop was a gas station where the Greyhound bus stopped,which was closed for New Year,but I saw a family standing outside the locked door,gathering closely together under the narrow overhang in an attempt to keep dry.I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I raced to keep up with Jill.
Once we got home,there was barely time to enjoy our presents.We had to go off to our grandparents’ house for our annual family dinner.As we drove down the highway through town,I noticed that the family was still there,standing outside the closed gas station.
My father was driving very slowly down the highway.The closer we got to the turnoff(岔道) for my grandparents’ house,the slower the car went.Suddenly,my father made a U turn in the middle of the road and said that he couldn’t stand it.“What?” asked my mother.“It’s those people back there at the station,standing in the rain.They’ve got children.It’s New Year.I can’t stand it.”
When my father pulled into the service station,I saw that there were five of them: the parents and three children—two girls and a small boy,who were getting wet standing there. My father rolled down his window.“Happy New Year,” he said.
“Thanks. You, too,” the man replied. He was very tall and had to bend slightly to look into the car. Jill, Sharon, and I looked at the children,and they looked back at us.
“You waiting on the bus?” my father asked. The man said that they were. They were going to Birmingham, where he had a brother and chances of a job. Knowing the bus wouldn’t come along for several hours, my father invited them to our home to shelter from the rain.
Paragraph 1:
The man thought about it for a moment,but then refused.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When we got out of the car at our house,the three children ran through the front door happily.

A few years ago, I stood underneath a red overhanging cliff near my hometown. The weather was amazing. Deer chewed on the brown grasses by the river below. An eagle rode the wind. Townsfolk and visitors wandered in a nearby hot spring.
I was tied in, ready to climb. I was attempting to do a route first try, “onsight,” as we call it, which means I didn’t know what I was climbing into. It would have been a hard on sight for me to onsight hard climbs. You need clarity. No interference.
Just as I was about to climb nerves in my body, which I hadn’t felt yet, said hello. That’s not good for any athlete. Desperate, I painted a coat of confidence on my inner walls of doubt. I visualized myself at the top, celebrating. “You can do this,” I firmly told myself. “If you believe, success is certain.”
It didn’t work. I fell near the top. Defeated, I lowered to the ground and realized powerfully that the desire to climb the route had kept me from doing it. My self-worth was bound together by my success or failure at that moment, and that set off a chain reaction: unnatural desire, pressure, performance anxiety, anticipation, a mind fascinated with the top but a body struggling below, bad decision-making, irregular movement, distraction, frustration. All in that order, too.
In a flash, I told myself that on my next attempt, success or failure was irrelevant. “Make one move at a time. That’s all.” I gave myself a pass from whatever would happen. It worked. I floated to the top with self-control and clarity.
That moment got me thinking. At some point, I framed this experience for myself in terms of simple mathematics. When I added determination, courage, self-confidence and desire, I failed. When I took away the desire for success, I improved. I enjoyed it more as well, which, as an athlete of 30 years, I didn’t think was possible. Eventually, I discovered the power of subtraction.
4. What can we infer from the author’s first attempt
A. He managed to reach the top of the cliff.
B. He fully knew what he was climbing into.
C. He was confident in his own ability to get over obstacles.
D. He employed mental practice in order to overcome his nervousness.
5. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4
A. To list his shortcomings. B. To give background information.
C. To describe a social phenomenon. D. To explain the reason for his failure.
6. Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Determined and sensible. B. Optimistic and humorous.
C. Modest and conservative. D. Aggressive and stubborn.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者攀爬过程中的两次尝试,第一次失败是由于对成功的渴望和内心的压力,而第二次成功是通过放弃渴望、专注当下和轻装上阵来实现的。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I was attempting to do a route first try, “onsight,” as we call it, which means I didn’t know what I was climbing into. It would have been a hard on sight for me to onsight hard climbs. You need clarity. No interference.(我试着先走一条路线,我们称之为“onsight”,也就是说,我不知道我要爬的是什么。对我来说,看到艰难的攀登是一件很难的事。你需要清晰。没有干扰)”可推知,作者第一次尝试运用了心理练习来克服紧张。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“It didn’t work. I fell near the top. Defeated, I lowered to the ground and realized powerfully that the desire to climb the route had kept me from doing it. My self-worth was bound together by my success or failure at that moment, and that set off a chain reaction: unnatural desire, pressure, performance anxiety, anticipation, a mind fascinated with the top but a body struggling below, bad decision-making, irregular movement, distraction, frustration. All in that order, too.(没有成功。我在接近山顶的地方摔了下来。我被打败了,趴在地上,强烈地意识到是爬这条路的欲望阻止了我去做。我的自我价值与我在那一刻的成功或失败联系在一起,并引发了连锁反应:不自然的欲望、压力、表现焦虑、期待、对顶端着迷但身体在下面挣扎、错误的决策、不规则的动作、分心、沮丧。也是这个顺序)”可推知,作者写第4段的目的是解释他失败的原因。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Defeated, I lowered to the ground and realized powerfully that the desire to climb the route had kept me from doing it. My self-worth was bound together by my success or failure at that moment, and that set off a chain reaction: unnatural desire, pressure, performance anxiety, anticipation, a mind fascinated with the top but a body struggling below, bad decision-making, irregular movement, distraction, frustration.(我被打败了,趴在地上,强烈地意识到是爬这条路的欲望阻止了我去做。我的自我价值与我在那一刻的成功或失败联系在一起,并引发了连锁反应:不自然的欲望、压力、表现焦虑、期待、对顶端着迷但身体在下面挣扎、错误的决策、不规则的动作、分心、沮丧)”以及第五段“In a flash, I told myself that on my next attempt, success or failure was irrelevant. “Make one move at a time. That’s all.” I gave myself a pass from whatever would happen.(刹那间,我告诉自己,在下一次尝试中,成功或失败都无关紧要。“一次只走一步。就是全部了。”不管发生什么事,我都不去管自己)”可推知,作者会反思自己失败的原因可见作者是明智的。作者决定一步一步走可见是坚定的。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I added determination, courage, self-confidence and desire, I failed. When I took away the desire for success, I improved. I enjoyed it more as well, which, as an athlete of 30 years, I didn’t think was possible. Eventually, I discovered the power of subtraction.(当我加上决心、勇气、自信和欲望时,我失败了。当我去掉对成功的渴望,我就进步了。我也更喜欢它,作为一个30年的运动员,我认为这是不可能的。最终,我发现了减法的力量)”可知,作者通过放弃对成功的渴望,减轻心理压力,并专注于一步一步地攀爬,最终取得了成功。这传达了一个信息,即人们在面对挑战时应该轻装上阵,不要给自己过多的压力。故可推知,这篇文章传达了轻装上阵的思想。故选C。
C
As athletes get stronger and faster, the pace of play continues to increase. The burden of making sure games are played according to the rules and that the officiating (裁判) is accurate is now being taken out of human hands and falling more and more into the lap of technology. It’s called the video replay.
The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.
However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented, and that the video replay is tainting the sport. But don’t you want to see the proper application of the rules throughout the games I know I do. Yes, it can slow the game down, but I feel it is worth it. If technological advancements allow fans watching from home to spot mistakes instantly, those same views need to be available to the officiating crews. Another example occurred in the most recent National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints. When obvious pass interference was committed by the Los Angeles Rams player Nickell Robey-Coleman, with just 109 seconds to play, no flag was raised on the field. It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.
There are no easy answers regarding replay technology and whether it is a curse (魔咒). But for me, keeping the officiating honest and on task is the right step in limiting controversy.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了随着运动员变得更加强壮和快速,比赛的节奏也越来越快,在确保比赛遵循规则和裁判准确性方面,越来越多地依靠于视频回放技术,以及在体育比赛中采用视频回放技术的优势和争议。文章提出使用视频回放技术可以让裁判更加公正和准确,并强调了保持裁判员诚实和任务的重要性。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The National Football League is expanding its replay system this upcoming season to include pass interference (传球干扰). Major League Baseball now relies on it for safe-or-out and home run calls. If you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) played a key role in almost every game. And in the Kentucky Derby, a horse was disqualified for knocking another horse. No one knew why until a video replay confirmed the call and controversy was avoided.(在即将到来的赛季中,美国国家橄榄球联盟将扩大其回放系统,将传球干扰纳入其中。美国职业棒球大联盟现在依靠它来进行安全出局和本垒打。如果你一直在看世界杯,你可能已经注意到视频助理裁判(VAR)在几乎每场比赛中都发挥着关键作用。在肯塔基赛马比赛中,一匹马因撞到另一匹马而被取消资格。没有人知道为什么,直到视频回放证实了这一判罚,争议才得以避免。)”可知,美国国家橄榄球联盟、美国职业棒球大联盟,FIFA世界杯以及肯塔基赛马中都在依靠视频回放作出裁决,由此推知,视频回放在体育赛事中已被广泛使用。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的内容“However, many purists—those who want people to follow rules carefully and do things in the traditional way—especially in soccer, argue it’s not the way the game was invented(然而,许多纯粹主义者——那些希望人们认真遵守规则,以传统方式做事的人——尤其是在足球领域,认为这不是这项运动的发明方式)”可知,许多纯粹主义者即以传统做事的人,在足球领域中认为这不是这项运动的发明方式,由此可知,许多纯粹主义者对视频回放持否定态度,他们认为视频回放玷污了这项运动。因此,画线词与C项“Damaging.(损坏)”为同义词。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“It weakened the New Orleans Saints spirits. The Los Angeles Rams won a 26-23 overtime victory. The no-call deeply angered the public. The video replay showed the referees had just missed one of the most apparent pass interference calls.(它削弱了新奥尔良圣徒队的士气。洛杉矶公羊队在加时赛中以26比23获胜。这一否决深深激怒了公众。录像回放显示,裁判刚刚错过了一个最明显的传球干扰判罚。)”可知,视频回放显示,裁判刚刚错过了一个十分明显的传球干扰判罚,而这削弱了新奥尔良圣徒队的士气。由此推知,新奥尔良圣徒队会认为这些裁判是不称职的。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章讲述了随着运动员变得更加强壮和快速,比赛的节奏也越来越快,在确保比赛遵循规则和裁判准确性方面,越来越多地依靠于视频回放技术,以及在体育比赛中采用视频回放技术的优势和争议。文章提出使用视频回放技术可以让裁判更加公正和准确,并强调了保持裁判员诚实和任务的重要性。B选项“Is technology like VAR a blessing in sports (像VAR这样的技术是体育界的福音吗?)”符合文章标题。故选B。
D
It’s good to be smart. After all, intelligent people earn more money, accumulate more wealth, and even live longer. But there’s another side to the story. The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense.
Travis Bradberry, president at TalentSmart, explained in his post Why Smart People Act So Stupid that “Rational thinking (理性思维) and intelligence don’t tend to go hand in hand. Intelligent people are more likely to make silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” They are so used to being right and having quick answers that they don’t even realize when they’re making a mess by answering without thinking things through.
A lifetime of praise leads smart people to develop too much faith in their intelligence and abilities. They often fail to recognize when they need help and when they do recognize it, they tend to believe that no one else is capable of providing it.
“It’s hard for anyone to graciously accept the fact that they’re wrong. It’s even harder for smart people because they grow so used to being right all the time that it becomes a part of their identity,” Bradberry wrote. “For smart people, being wrong can feel like a personal attack, and being right, a necessity.”
Smart people also have a hard time accepting feedback. They tend to undervalue the opinions of others, which means they have trouble believing that anyone is qualified to give them useful feedback. Not only does this tendency slow their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally.
Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder.
12. What do we learn from the passage about the brightest people
A. They can differ in their personalities.
B. They are admired by people around them.
C. They usually face their own weaknesses calmly.
D. They can make silly mistakes in straightforward situations.
13. What accounts for the existence of intelligent people’s logical blind spots
A. Their irrational way of thinking. B. Too much concern about their work.
C. Too much faith in their ability to think. D. Their ignorance of behavioral science.
14. What may happen to smart people who find it difficult to accept suggestions
A. They may experience a lot of emotional stress.
B. They may commit more errors than ever before.
C. They may lose faith in their administrative abilities.
D. They may suffer in their professional and private life.
15. What is said about those working with or under overachieving people
A. They are under increasing pressure. B. They set higher goals for themselves.
C. They put a lot of effort into their work. D. They take less time to get things done.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最聪明的人和最强大的领导者有时会犯别人不会犯的错误的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense. (最聪明的人和最强大的领导者有时会犯别人不会犯的错误,尤其是在需要常识的情况下。)”可知,最聪明的人会在简单的情况下犯愚蠢的错误。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Intelligent people are more likely to make silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” (聪明的人更容易犯愚蠢的错误,因为他们在使用逻辑方面存在盲点。这些盲点的存在是因为聪明人往往对自己的推理能力过于自信。)”可知,聪明人的逻辑盲点在于太相信他们的思考能力了。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“Not only does this tendency slow their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and professionally. (这种倾向不仅会减缓他们的成长和表现,还会导致有害的人际关系,无论是个人关系还是职业关系。)”可知,聪明的人很难接受建议这导致他们可能会在职业和私人生活中遭受痛苦。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder. (聪明的人会发展出超常的个性,因为事情对他们来说太容易了。他们只是不理解有些人为了完成同样的事情需要付出多大的努力,正因为如此,他们对人们的要求过于严格。他们设定的标准太高,当人们花太长时间或没有把事情做好时,他们会认为这是由于缺乏努力。所以他们会更加努力。)”可知,对于那些与成就超常的人一起工作的人,他们承受着越来越大的压力。故选A。

How to Learn a Language as an Adult
If you dream of learning a foreign language, your age does not disqualify you. Make the process more fun - and by extension, more successful-with these tips.
Find your motivation.
Wish you had paid more attention in high school Spanish classes _____16_____Perhaps all you wanted out of the class was a good grade, or to fulfill a graduation requirement. Linguists(语言学家)call these “extrinsic(外在的)motivators,”but the most successful language students are “intrinsically motivated, sincerely devoted to their own learning._____17_____,whether on a grand vacation in Spain or on your couch watching Spanish soap operas.
Pick your tools.
___18___, but you’ll figure out which resources work best for you. Mobile apps such as Duolingo and Babbel gamify your learning, so if you could easily spend hours playing on your phone, you’ll likely find these similarly addictive. And don’t forget books. McGraw Hill and Barron’s offer excellent textbooks with answer keys to let you see how you’re doing.
___19___
Immerse (沉浸) yourself in your chosen language as much as you can. Watch movies or listen to songs, even if they are just on in the background. Periodically look around you and see how many things you can name in the language you’re studying. Or, better yet, label items around your home with those words. You’ll have no choice but to see them and, in very little time, learn them.
Get social.
Practicing with other people helps solidify what you’ve already learned and make you more aware of which ideas you’re able to express._____20_____,though various websites and apps such as language , Hello Talk, and Talk Abroad can connect you with some, either free or for a small fee.
A. Dive in
B. Just do it
C. Consider why you didn’t
D. It might take some trial and error
E You might as well practice on your own
F. So pick a language you are excited to use
G. They need not to be native speakers you chat with
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作为成年人,如何来学习一门语言的方法。
【16题详解】
根据本段标题“Find your motivation.”(找到你的(学习)动机),可知本段主要讲述学习动机对于语言学习者的重要。结合前文“Wish you had paid more attention in high school Spanish classes ”(希望你在高中的西班牙语课上多花点心思?)本句使用了虚拟语气,表示和过去事实相反的情形,即过去在高中西班牙课上没有花心思,下文“Perhaps all you wanted out of the class was a good grade, or to fulfill a graduation requirement.”(也许你想要的只是一个好成绩,或者满足一个毕业要求。)讲述了自己没有花心思是因为自己只是想要一个好成绩或者达到毕业要求,所以空处应承接前文,思考自己为什么没有花心思。C项“想想你为什么没有花心思”,切题,故选C。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Linguists(语言学家)call these “extrinsic(外在的)motivators,”but the most successful language students are “intrinsically motivated, sincerely devoted to their own learning.”(语言学家称之为“外在动机”,但是最成功的语言学生是“内在动机,真诚地致力于自己的学习。”)可知,最成功的语言学生对语言的学习源自于个人对语言的喜欢的内在动机,因此空处承接前文,学习者就要根据自己的内心,学习语言就选择自己喜欢的来学习,F项“所以选择一种你感兴趣的语言”,切题,故选F。
【18题详解】
根据标题“Pick your tools.”(挑选学习资源)下文“but you’ll figure out which resources work best for you.”(但你会发现哪些资源最适合你。)可知,在挑选学习资源时,会有适合自己和不适合之分,通过不断地尝试,你可以找出哪些资源最适合你。因此空处可以叙述,对于学习资源,你要反复尝试。D项“可能需要反复试验和错误”,切题,故选D。
【19题详解】
空处为段落的标题,结合其它几个黑体字提示,可知此处用祈使句。根据下文“Immerse (沉浸) yourself in your chosen language as much as you can.Watch movies or listen to songs, even if they are just on in the background. ”(尽可能地沉浸在你所选择的语言中。看电影或听歌曲,即使它们只是背景音乐。)讲述了选好自己要学的语言后,就要去享受这种语言。说明了选好后就开始行动。因而空处可以叙述那就行动吧。A项“开始吧”,符合题意,故选A。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Practicing with other people helps solidify what you’ve already learned and make you more aware of which ideas you’re able to express.”(和别人一起练习有助于巩固你已经学到的东西,让你更清楚地意识到你能表达哪些想法。)提到了和别人交流带来的好处。下文“though various websites and apps such as language , Hello Talk, and Talk Abroad can connect you with some, either free or for a small fee.”(尽管通过各种网站和应用程序,如language , Hello Talk, 和 Talk Abroad,可以为您连接一些网站,或者免费,或者收取一点费用。)可知通过这些网站和应用程序你可以和母语人士交流,though的使用,说明空处和后文为转折含义,因此空处可以描述,与你交流的人可以不是母语人士,G项“和你聊天的人不必是母语人士”符合题意,故选G。

【答案】Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Li Hua, a devoted customer of your online store. I am writing to complain about the defective electronic dictionary pen I purchased from your store last week.
After one week of its purchase, I find it doesn’t work as expected. The battery doesn’t last long after being recharged, perhaps merely half a day. Worse than that, the words on the screen are not distinct enough, which I think is damaging to my eyesight. The last straw is that when I contacted the online store yesterday, I didn’t get a satisfactory answer.
I would appreciate it if you could either refund my purchase or replace it with a new one. Otherwise, I will take legal action. Look forward to your attention and early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
A light rain was falling as my sister Jill and I ran out of the shop,eager to get home and play with the presents that our parents had prepared for us and our baby sister, Sharon.Across the street from the shop was a gas station where the Greyhound bus stopped,which was closed for New Year,but I saw a family standing outside the locked door,gathering closely together under the narrow overhang in an attempt to keep dry.I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I raced to keep up with Jill.
Once we got home,there was barely time to enjoy our presents.We had to go off to our grandparents’ house for our annual family dinner.As we drove down the highway through town,I noticed that the family was still there,standing outside the closed gas station.
My father was driving very slowly down the highway.The closer we got to the turnoff(岔道) for my grandparents’ house,the slower the car went.Suddenly,my father made a U turn in the middle of the road and said that he couldn’t stand it.“What?” asked my mother.“It’s those people back there at the station,standing in the rain.They’ve got children.It’s New Year.I can’t stand it.”
When my father pulled into the service station,I saw that there were five of them: the parents and three children—two girls and a small boy,who were getting wet standing there. My father rolled down his window.“Happy New Year,” he said.
“Thanks. You, too,” the man replied. He was very tall and had to bend slightly to look into the car. Jill, Sharon, and I looked at the children,and they looked back at us.
“You waiting on the bus?” my father asked. The man said that they were. They were going to Birmingham, where he had a brother and chances of a job. Knowing the bus wouldn’t come along for several hours, my father invited them to our home to shelter from the rain.
Paragraph 1:
The man thought about it for a moment,but then refused.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When we got out of the car at our house,the three children ran through the front door happily.

【答案】参考范文
The man thought about it for a moment,but then refused. He said he didn’t want to put us to any bother.My father explained that the rain would last long and our house was near the station.After my parents’strong persuasion,he finally agreed and thanked us all the time. They climbed into the car.They had no luggage,only the clothes they were wearing.Once they settled in,my father looked back over his shoulder handing them some tissues to wipe the rainwater from their faces.
When we got out of the car at our house,the three children ran through the front door happily. My mother noticed all their clothes were wet,so she found some of ours for them to change. Jill and I decided to share our New Year presents with the children. One of the girls chose Jill’s doll and immediately hugged it to her breast. When the rain stopped,my father drove them to the station. As they drove away, I watched out the window as long as I could, looking back at their happy faces. That was the day when Jill and I learned the joy of making others happy.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知,天下着雨,长途汽车因为新年而关闭了,门外站着一家人在等长途汽车,长途汽车要几小时才来,我们一家人本已经在去祖父母家参加家庭聚会的高速路上,但父亲想到这一家人还在那里等待,就掉头回去邀请他们到我们家避雨。……
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:这个人想了一会儿,然后拒绝了。……,所以接下应该写这个人拒绝的原因以及父亲再次真诚的邀请。第二段开头是:当我们在我们家下车时,三个孩子高兴地从前门跑了进来。……,所以接下来应该写我们与孩子在家里发生的事情,比如为孩子换上干净的衣服(因为外面一直下雨,孩子的衣服有可能淋湿了),再比如分享新年礼物等。雨停了,爸爸开车送他们去车站。当他们开车离开时,我久久地望着窗外,回望着他们幸福的脸。就是在那一天,吉尔和我学会了如何让别人快乐。
续写时要求短文的词数应为150左右,故应提前构思,详略得当,避免长篇大论。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了较多的主从复合句。如:.My father explained that the rain would last long and our house was near the station.这句话运用了that引导的宾语从句;如:As they drove away, I watched out the window as long as I could, looking back at their happy faces.这个句子中有as引导的时间状语从句
