一、2021年高考真題
1.【2021年新高考1卷】
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.??????1??????So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn't entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管)worked.??????2??????Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, "Ouverture des portes,?"?in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it's a shame l don't have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight.??????3??????French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
??????4??????On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded.??????5??????When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A.Not all the customers are tourists.
B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E.That's not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F.Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G.The food is so delicious that you don't need much of it to make you happy.

2.【2021年全國(guó)甲卷】
You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources (資源) to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor???????1??????. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
? Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection.??????2??????, and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
???????3??????. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.
? Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room.??????4??????. Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them —things always look different when you put them on.
? Set a starting time. Maybe you say "go, " or turn on a certain song, or whatever.??????5??????. And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A.Less people than that
B.Hold a clothing swap
C.If two people are competing
D.Just keep music playing throughout
E.Donate whatever clothes are left over
F.Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G.Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

It just opens up conversation.
??????3??????? If you can't take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox(講臺(tái)). If you're the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.??????4??????.

You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall.??????1??????
"I often send postcards to family and friends, " he says to?China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it,??????2??????" Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online, Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch(直覺(jué))paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing. com, a social network that has grown to 575, 217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago.??????3??????Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it.??????4??????So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to Engish.??????5??????That said, we know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing. " Paulo says.
A.And that's totally fine.
B.That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C.He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D.Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E.On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.
F.Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G.In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
【文章大意】一位熱愛(ài)明信片的電腦工程師把這項(xiàng)熱愛(ài)發(fā)展成了他的全職事業(yè),并介紹了一些寫(xiě)明信片的困難和益處。
【解析】1.G??疾榕c上文的聯(lián)系。前文以具體形象的例子表現(xiàn)主人公對(duì)明信片的喜愛(ài):loves open…and find a brightly colored picture of…,or…or…,這些brightly colored pictures正是明信片。因此,下一句進(jìn)行總結(jié)。In short簡(jiǎn)言之,就是上文的概括,概括為loves postcards and the excitement…喜歡明信片,喜歡收到遠(yuǎn)方朋友手寫(xiě)卡片的興奮感。故選G項(xiàng)。
2 :A??疾榍昂笪穆?lián)系。上文說(shuō) "你意識(shí)到并不是每個(gè)人都喜歡明信片",下文說(shuō) "尋找其他志同道合的人……" 表示主人公接受上文所講事實(shí),然后才能和有共同興趣的人繼續(xù)自己的愛(ài)好。A項(xiàng) "這完全沒(méi)問(wèn)題" 正是表示主人公接受這一點(diǎn)。故選A項(xiàng)。
3 :E??疾槎温渲髦己颓昂笪穆?lián)系。全段都在寫(xiě)主人公將自己的愛(ài)好發(fā)展成了一個(gè)成功的社交網(wǎng)站。前文的各項(xiàng)數(shù)據(jù)也和E項(xiàng)的數(shù)據(jù)銜接自然,都是在介紹這個(gè)網(wǎng)站的成功;同時(shí),這些數(shù)據(jù)的量都很大,使得空白后 "運(yùn)營(yíng)這個(gè)網(wǎng)站幾乎成了全職工作" 成為必然的結(jié)果。故選E項(xiàng)。
4 :F??疾槎温渲髦己颓昂笪穆?lián)系。全段都在寫(xiě)對(duì)于寫(xiě)明信片來(lái)說(shuō),語(yǔ)言可能是一個(gè)障礙。4空前是具體的論據(jù) "盡管收到一封用中文寫(xiě)的明信片很酷,但如果收信人不理解中文的話,這個(gè)明信片就沒(méi)什么意義" 。緊接著加F項(xiàng) "類似地,如果你只講中文,收到一封瑞典語(yǔ)的明信片也會(huì)讓樂(lè)趣大打折扣" 同樣都是對(duì)段落主旨的論證,而在銜接上用了similarly也很自然,故選F項(xiàng)。
5 :B??疾榕c上文的聯(lián)系。前文說(shuō) "很多中國(guó)人對(duì)英語(yǔ)的接觸有限",這導(dǎo)致用英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)明信片比較難,正是B項(xiàng)所說(shuō) "那使得學(xué)習(xí)和練習(xí)寫(xiě)英語(yǔ)明信片尤其得難"。選項(xiàng)中That指代上文的句子;而句尾的it指代上一段段尾句English is required in postcrossing。B項(xiàng)與上文銜接緊密,故選B項(xiàng)。

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it… to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36. Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
●37. Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.
●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38. You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? "That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best."
●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39.
●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40. Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?
A. Feeling upset again?
B. Where do you start?
C. Nothing is too small to celebrate.
D. Remember, you are only human.
E. Set an intention for self-acceptance.
F. Stop comparing yourself with others.
G. When does the comparison game start?

4. 【2020·山東卷】
Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.16. Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the”speaking. “ 17. Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.18.
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.19. And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
20. It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! “So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience
F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners
G.However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
【文章大意】本文是說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了成為好的演講者需要掌握的一些原則。
16.G 本文主題是介紹成為好的演講者要掌握的一些原則。上句提到有些人生來(lái)就有演講的天賦。G項(xiàng):然而,大多數(shù)人之所以能成為有影響的演講者,是因?yàn)樗麄兪苓^(guò)訓(xùn)練。與上句轉(zhuǎn)折,引出本文主題--演講者要訓(xùn)練。故選G。
17.A 下句Focus on the speaking.是本段主題,建議演講者把注意力集中在演講上。上句提到一種常見(jiàn)現(xiàn)象,當(dāng)站起來(lái)發(fā)表演講時(shí),演講者往往會(huì)把注意力放在”公眾”上,而不是”演講”上。這是錯(cuò)誤的做法,A項(xiàng)Do the opposite.承上啟下,說(shuō)明了上句做法的錯(cuò)誤,引出了下句正確的做法。故選A。
18.C 本段提到即使成功的演講者也會(huì)犯錯(cuò)誤,觀眾不會(huì)太在意你的錯(cuò)誤。上句建議當(dāng)出錯(cuò)時(shí)不要停止演講,除非是非常嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)誤。C項(xiàng):你不需要為一個(gè)小失誤道歉。與上句承接,是對(duì)待演講出錯(cuò)的方法。故選C。
19. B本段是說(shuō)明練習(xí)的重要性。上句提到你的目標(biāo)不是成為一個(gè)完美的演說(shuō)家,下句應(yīng)該說(shuō)明目標(biāo)是什么。B. You want to be an effective public speaker.與上句銜接,是我們演講的真正目的。故選B。
20.D 下文提到觀眾并不是認(rèn)為演講越長(zhǎng)越好,根據(jù) Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.可知,作者建議讓演講比預(yù)期的短一點(diǎn),給觀眾更多的期待勝過(guò)讓他們坐立不安地等待演講結(jié)束。D項(xiàng):公開(kāi)演講時(shí),通常少就是多。說(shuō)明了演講時(shí),多和少的辯證關(guān)系。故選D。
5. 【2020·浙江卷】
I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 31. His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 32. I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 33.
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 34. I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特點(diǎn)) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
35. My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.
A. I wasn't alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to play with another kid.
D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F.Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G.My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.
【文章大意】這是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者養(yǎng)成幾個(gè)生活習(xí)慣的原因。
31.G 設(shè)空在段中,應(yīng)是承前啟后句。根據(jù)后文“His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine”可知,設(shè)空句應(yīng)提及“his”的身份,即G項(xiàng)中的“My elder brother”,且G項(xiàng)“我哥哥懶得和我一起玩”在此起到了承上啟下的作用。故選G項(xiàng)。故選G項(xiàng)。
32. D根據(jù)前句提到“我對(duì)文字的愛(ài)始于母親每天晚上給我讀故事的時(shí)候”可知,D項(xiàng)“我喜歡書(shū)中的彩色照片”和上句構(gòu)成進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明。同時(shí)D項(xiàng)中的“書(shū)”指代上句提到的母親每天給我讀故事的書(shū)。D項(xiàng)切題。故選D項(xiàng)。
33.A 根據(jù)前句提到“閱讀為我打開(kāi)了新世界”可知,A項(xiàng)“我不在孤獨(dú)”和上句構(gòu)成了因果關(guān)系。A項(xiàng)切題。故選A項(xiàng)。
34.F 根據(jù)前句“當(dāng)我的母親看到我的創(chuàng)作時(shí),她說(shuō)我的設(shè)計(jì)很有創(chuàng)意”可知,F(xiàn)項(xiàng)“于是,我開(kāi)始對(duì)制造東西產(chǎn)生了長(zhǎng)久的興趣”和上句構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系,我正是在聽(tīng)了母親那句話后才開(kāi)始了對(duì)制造東西產(chǎn)生興趣。F項(xiàng)切題。故選F項(xiàng)。
35.E 根據(jù)后句“無(wú)論天氣或季節(jié),我的父母都要讓他們的兩個(gè)孩子花時(shí)間在戶外”可知,E項(xiàng)“我很早養(yǎng)成的另一個(gè)習(xí)慣是去戶外”和前句表示因果邏輯。作者有去戶外的習(xí)慣是因?yàn)楹缶涮岬降母改傅挠绊?。E項(xiàng)切題。故選E項(xiàng)。
II.閱讀理解新題型
2021年3月天津卷
I've always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts, crafts(手工)and music, and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.
Somewhere along the way, however, I lost touch with my creative self. At 21, I landed a job at a big insurance company out of my business degree. I would go to the office, sit at my desk and repeat the same work five days a week 9 to 5. The days were long and?tedious. Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.
One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college. It was only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my confidence up.
As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment(滿足感).
I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult decision-leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my diploma.
The last few years have been exciting because I've been following my heart to do what I love. Today I am living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.
Sometimes it's hard to make a change, but I'm so glad I set the wheels of change in motion with that very small first step because it has led me to where I am today.
1. What was the author interested in when she was a little girl? (no more than 10 words)
2. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean? (1 word)
3. How did the author feel when she was taking the part-time design course? (no more than 10 words)
4. What did the author do to get back to her creative life? Give two of the facts. (no more than 15 words)
5. Do you consider the author as your role model? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】
1.She was interested in arts, crafts and music./She was interested in creative things.
2.Boring./Dull./Uninteresting.
3.She felt/was energetic, enthusiastic and happy./She was filled with energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
4.She quit/quitted her job and took the fashion-design course./She attended a sewing class and took a part-time design course.
5.Yes, (I do). She has the courage to follow her heart and do what she really likes./ Yes, (I do). I'd like to live a creative life and make changes when necessary as she did./No, (I don't). I don't like changes and I want to live a secure life.
【解析】文章大意:本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者堅(jiān)持做自己真正喜歡做的事情,最后取得了成功。
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容 "I've always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts, crafts(手工)and music, and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.(從我還是一個(gè)小女孩的時(shí)候起,我就很有創(chuàng)造力。我的童年充滿了藝術(shù)、手工藝和音樂(lè),每一天都是令人興奮的創(chuàng)作冒險(xiǎn)。)" 可知,從作者還是一個(gè)小女孩的時(shí)候起,她就對(duì)有創(chuàng)意的東西感興趣,對(duì)藝術(shù)、手工藝和音樂(lè)感興趣。故答案為:She was interested in arts, crafts and music./She was interested in creative things.
2詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線單詞所在句后句 "Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime. Before long I decided to make a change.(這樣工作一年已經(jīng)夠痛苦的了,更別說(shuō)一輩子了。不久我決定做出改變。)" 可知,作者現(xiàn)在的工作讓她感到痛苦,她并不喜歡這份工作。再根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容' "As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment(滿足感).(當(dāng)我越來(lái)越清楚地意識(shí)到時(shí)尚是我全職想要做的事情時(shí),我在保險(xiǎn)公司的日常工作變得更加困難。我覺(jué)得無(wú)聊。沒(méi)有活力,沒(méi)有動(dòng)力,沒(méi)有滿足感。)" 可知,作者真正喜歡的是和時(shí)尚相關(guān)的工作,保險(xiǎn)公司的工作讓她感覺(jué)無(wú)聊。由此可知,畫(huà)線單詞所在句表示的是,在保險(xiǎn)公司工作的日子漫長(zhǎng)而乏味。故答案為:Boring./Dull/Uninteresting.
3考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第四段內(nèi)容"As l dreamt bigger, l began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course. l attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.(當(dāng)我的夢(mèng)想更大的時(shí)候,我開(kāi)始研究時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)的大學(xué)課程,三個(gè)月后我報(bào)名參加了一個(gè)兼職設(shè)計(jì)課程。我每周上兩晚課。雖然很累,但它給了我活力、熱情和快樂(lè)。)"可知,在參加了兼職設(shè)計(jì)課程后,作者感覺(jué)充滿了活力、熱情和快樂(lè)。故答案為:She felt/was energetic, enthusiastic and happy./She was filled with energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
4細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段關(guān)鍵句"One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college. (我對(duì)縫紉產(chǎn)生了興趣,所以我在一所社區(qū)大學(xué)上了縫紉課。) "、第四段關(guān)鍵句" As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up for a part-time design course.(當(dāng)我的夢(mèng)想更大的時(shí)候,我開(kāi)始研究時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)的大學(xué)課程,三個(gè)月后我報(bào)名參加了一個(gè)兼職設(shè)計(jì)課程。)"和倒數(shù)第三段內(nèi)容"I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult decision-leaving my job and studying my design course full time. (我知道我需要做出更大的改變。經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間的掙扎,我做出了一個(gè)艱難的決定,離開(kāi)我的工作,并全職學(xué)習(xí)我的設(shè)計(jì)課程。兩年后我拿到了畢業(yè)證書(shū)。)可知,作者為了恢復(fù)她有創(chuàng)造力的生活,她參加了一個(gè)縫紉班,并參加了一個(gè)兼職設(shè)計(jì)課程,辭去了工作,去上時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)課,根據(jù)題目要求,從中選出兩點(diǎn)事實(shí)即可,不超過(guò)15個(gè)詞。故答案為:She quit/quitted her job and took the fashion-design course./She attended a sewing class and took a part-time design course.
5. 開(kāi)放性問(wèn)題,言之有理即可。參考答案:如果答案是肯定的,原因可以是"?She has the courage to follow her heart and do what she really likes.(她有勇氣追隨自己的心,做自己真正喜歡的事。)";如果答案是否定的,原因可以是"I don't like changes and I want to live a secure life.(我不喜歡變化,我想過(guò)安全的生活。)"。故答案為:Yes, (I do). She has the courage to follow her heart and do what she really likes./ Yes, (I do). I'd like to live a creative life and make changes when necessary as she did./No, (I don't). I don't like changes and I want to live a secure life.
2. 【2020·天津卷(一)】
閱讀短文, 按照題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。
I remember the day shyness took over my life. I was 14 and having a French lesson The teacher told us to record ourselves speaking about a holiday. Perfect! I recorded myself with confidence. Then, I pressed "play" to listen back. All I heard was a little kid talking. My immediate reaction was to assume I was listening to someone else's recording. But that was my voice. I realised there was something strange about me.
My little voice has made me feel really shy. And my shyness has caused me to avoid attending events, not make important connections, and keep my ideas to myself. As a shy person, working from home, hiding behind my computer was brilliant. But the more time I spent hidden away, the more my comfort zone shrank(縮?。? Everyday interactions, like ordering a coffee, became increasingly awkward and uncomfortable.
And then, one day I was at a big conference and it suddenly hit me like lightning. Al speakers were confident, comfortable with being seen. There were no quieter voices. But the trouble is, if the loud voices are the only ones you hear, we quiet people feel even more alienated(疏遠(yuǎn)的)。 The world needs a mixture of personalities. Success is not just about who can shout the loudest. The world needs quieter people, too. That day I chose to stop hiding and embrace my shyness. No more feeling like I needed to change who I am in order to succeed. No more living a small life.
Then I created the Shy and Mighty Society, a space for shy people like me to shine, and in the process of helping others, I could also push myself forward, bit by bit. Now, I'm happy to tell people I feel shy. I'm not ashamed any more. And I know that I’m not alone.
56. Why did the author feel strange about herself after listening to the recording? (no more than 10 words)
57. What is the main idea of Para.2? (no more than 10 words
58. What does the underlined word in Para.3 mean? (1 word)
59. Why did the author create the Shy and Mighty Society? (no more than 10 words)
60. Suppose you are in charge of the Shy and Mighty Society, what will you do to help other shy people? And why? (no more than 20 words)
【答案】
56. Because her voice was different from what she had expected.
Or: Because all she heard was a little kid talking.
Or: Because of her little voice.
57. Her shyness had a/an(bad) influence/effect/impact on her(life)
Or: Her shyness kept her hidden away.
Or: Her shyness kept her away from other people.
58. Accept.
Or: Welcome.
59. To help shy people(to shine) and push herself forward.
Or: To help other shy people and herself.
60. I will organize a speech contest so that they can walk out of their comfort zone and become more confident.
Or: I will share my experience with them, telling them how I handle my shyness.
Or: I will encourage them to take part in various activities to improve their social skills.
【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。作者是一個(gè)害羞的人,害差使作者不敢參加活動(dòng),并把自己封閉起來(lái)。后來(lái)作者接受了自己的害怕,并創(chuàng)建了Shy and Mighty Society,給像自己一樣害羞的人發(fā)光的空間,共同提高。
56. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“I pressed "play" to listen back. All I heard was a little kid talking. My immediate reaction was to assume I was listening to someone else's recording. But that was my voice. I realised there was something strange about me.”可知,作者錄完音后,按下“播放”鍵來(lái)聽(tīng),奇怪地聽(tīng)到一個(gè)小孩在說(shuō)話。作者的第一反應(yīng)是以為在聽(tīng)別人的錄音,但那是作者的聲音。由此可知,作者感到奇怪是因?yàn)樽约旱穆曇粜?,或?tīng)到一個(gè)小孩在說(shuō)話,或是感覺(jué)聽(tīng)到的不是自己期望的。故答案為:Because her voice was different from what she had expected. Or: Because all she heard was a little kid talking. Or: Because of her little voice.
57. 段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段“My little voice has made me feel really shy. And my shyness has caused me to avoid attending events, not make important connections, and keep my ideas to myself. As a shy person, working from home, hiding behind my computer was brilliant. But the more time I spent hidden away, the more my comfort zone shrank(縮?。?” 可知作者的聲音小,使作者害羞,害羞使作者不參加活動(dòng),不和別人交流。作者越隱藏自己,舒適區(qū)就越小。這些都說(shuō)明了害羞使作者隱藏,遠(yuǎn)離了別人,給作者帶來(lái)了壞影響。故答案為:Her shyness had a/an(bad) influence/effect/impact on her(life). Or: Her shyness kept her hidden away. Or: Her shyness kept her away from other people.
58. 詞義猜測(cè)題。上句提到“The world needs a mixture of personalities. Success is not just about who can shout the loudest. The world needs quieter people, too.”表明作者感悟到這個(gè)世界需個(gè)性。成功不只是誰(shuí)喊得聲最大。世界也需要更安靜的人。根據(jù)“That day I chose to stop hiding”可知作者選擇不再躲藏,接受自己的害羞。embrace原意是“擁抱”,此處指“接受,迎接”,故答案為:Accept. Or: Welcome.
59. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Then I created the Shy and Mighty Society, a space for shy people like me to shine, and in the process of helping others, I could also push myself forward,”可知作者創(chuàng)建Shy and Mighty Society是為了給像自己一樣害羞的人發(fā)光的空間,在幫助別人的過(guò)程中,也可以推動(dòng)自己一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)前進(jìn)。故答案為:To help shy people(to shine) and push herself forward. Or: To help other shy people and herself.
60. 推理判斷題。作者創(chuàng)建Shy and Mighty Society是為了給像自己一樣害羞的人發(fā)光的空間,所以作為這個(gè)織的負(fù)責(zé)人應(yīng)該是組織活動(dòng)或分享克服害羞的經(jīng)驗(yàn),用多種形式鼓勵(lì)他人戰(zhàn)勝害羞、增加自信、提高社交技能。故答案可以是:I will organize a speech contest so that they can walk out of their comfort zone and become more confident. Or: I will share my experience with them, telling them how I handle my shyness. Or: I will encourage them to take part in various activities to improve their social skills.
3. 【2020·天津卷(二)】
閱讀短文,按照題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。
As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected (被忽略的) one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.
I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”.
I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did.
As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.
56. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 1? (no more than 8 words)
_________________________
57. What changes offered a new start to the author after his family moved? (no more than 15 words)
_________________________
58. According to Paragraph 3, what marked the turning point in the author’s growth? (no more than 7 words)
_________________________
59. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words)
_________________________
60. What is your example of “cool”? Please explain why. (no more than 20 words)
_________________________
【答案】
56. Receiving less attention than someone else.
Or: Being/Feeling less successful than someone else.
Or: Being/Feeling neglected.
57. That his brother left for college and he changed schools.
Or: Tyson’s leaving for college and the author’s going to/attending a new school.
58. Joining the Science Olympiad team.
Or: That he joined the Science Olympiad team.
Or: Discovering his true interests (in science).
59. (How) the author discovered a broader definition of “cool”.
Or: He has discovered his own way to be cool.
Or: He found his own identity.
60. Playing football well is cool because I can show how strong I am.

56. 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段的As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected one.可知,就像任何一個(gè)弟弟會(huì)告訴你的那樣,有一個(gè)大哥哥意味著走在別人的影子里,尤其是當(dāng)你有一個(gè)很“酷”的哥哥時(shí)。多年以來(lái),我想做我的哥哥泰森做的一切,但是無(wú)論我怎么努力,我總是被忽略的一個(gè)。根據(jù)句意,尤其是I was always the neglected one可推測(cè),劃線部分的意思是“得不到關(guān)注/被忽略”。故填:Receiving less attention than someone else.
Or: Being/Feeling less successful than someone else.
Or: Being/Feeling neglected.
57. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. (但當(dāng)我們搬家時(shí),一切都改變了。泰森去上大學(xué)了,所以我不得不獨(dú)自在一個(gè)新的學(xué)校開(kāi)始)可知,搬家后,作者的哥哥去上大學(xué)以及作者獨(dú)自開(kāi)始新學(xué)校的生活給了作者他新的開(kāi)始。故填:That his brother left for college and he changed schools.
Or: Tyson’s leaving for college and the author’s going to/attending a new school.
58. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did. (我一直對(duì)化學(xué)、生物和數(shù)學(xué)著迷,但因?yàn)檫@些興趣不符合泰森對(duì)“酷”的定義,所以我從來(lái)沒(méi)有追求過(guò)。這一天,出于某種原因,我參加了)可知,參加Science Olympiad隊(duì)是作者成長(zhǎng)的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn),因?yàn)樗x擇不再做哥哥的“影子”。故填:Joining the Science Olympiad team.
Or: That he joined the Science Olympiad team.
Or: Discovering his true interests (in science).
59. 主旨大意題。根據(jù)本段的主要內(nèi)容,尤其是Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.(現(xiàn)在我知道我是誰(shuí)了!我是泰森的弟弟,但那只是我身份的一部分。按照我自的方式,我也是個(gè)很酷的人。知道酷的定義比我以前認(rèn)為的要寬泛得多,我感到很欣慰)可知,本段主要講述了作者找到了自己的身份以及自己對(duì)酷的定義。故填:(How) the author discovered a broader definition of “cool”.
Or: He has discovered his own way to be cool.
Or: He found his own identity.
60. 開(kāi)放性題目。只要回答出自己認(rèn)為什么很酷,以及原因即可。故可填:Playing football well is cool because I can show how strong I am.
Or: Playing the piano is cool because it can give me joy.
Or: Helping the poor is cool because it can give them hope and bring me pleasure.

Humor
If you see humor as an optional form of entertainment, you’re missing some of its biggest benefits: Humor makes average-looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining. Studies show that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter.
Best of all, humor raises your energy, and that can have an effect on everything you do at school, at work, or in your personal life. The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise, and that will raise your overall energy even more.
Humor also transports your mind away from your daily troubles. Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems.
In my experience, most people think they have a sense of humor, and to some degree that’s true. But not all senses of humor are created equal. So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips for everyday life.
You don’t have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor. You can be the one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor. Every party needs a straight person. You’ll appear fun and funny by association.
When it comes to in-person humor, effort counts a lot. When people see you trying to be funny, it frees them to try it themselves. So even if your own efforts at humor fall short, you might be freeing the long kept humor in others. People need permission to be funny in social settings because there’s always a risk that comes with humor. For in-person humor, quality isn’t as important as you might think. Your attitude and effort count a lot.
Some people--and I was one of them--believe that humorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor, and sometimes that is the case. The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint-based humor. One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny, but five is just complaining, no matter how smart you think you are. Funny complaints can wear people out.
Self-deprecating(自嘲式) humor is usually the safest type, but here again you don’t want to overshoot the target. One self-deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor. You have to be at least a bit self-assured to laugh at yourself in front of others. But if you do it too often, you can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog.

Interestingly,this trend isn’t evident in baseball. where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.
To explain this phenomenon,the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(協(xié)調(diào))their actions.______48______In baseball,the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.

II.閱讀理解新題型
1.閱讀表達(dá)
(2019·天津卷)閱讀短文,按照題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。
Haze Mabry,who has worked as a school keeper for thirteen years,walks into the school building every day and empties garbage cans,wipes down bathrooms and mops wet messes in the hallways.
Last Friday,after he arrived at the school,instead of finding garbage to clean up,he found almost 800 students lining the hallways with handmade cards,blowing noisemakers and singing a full-throated happy birthday to him. It was his 80th. As he walked the long hallway,some popped out of lime to hug him. They handed him so many cards that they filled several large boxes. Touched by their enthusiastic expression of affection. Mabry thanked them all. "They're like my children,"Mabry said.
On a regular day,students at the school sometimes come up to him to say they're not feeling well or other times to tell him about something that happened at break. He knows most of the kids at the school,but can't name each one. Some of them make him know them. Like Faith,who often forgets her backpack in the cafeteria,and Lucy,who just wants a hug.
“He won't brag(夸耀)on himself,but it doesn't matter what he's doing or where he is,he will always stop what he's doing to take care of a child if that child is having a bad day. If a child approaches him,he will pause to give that child his undivided attention. He's the most loved one in this building,"said Lori Gilreath,a reading teacher.
Mabry works circles around all the students,cleaning up messes others don't want to touch. He doesn't expect a lot. Mabry said he hadn't planned to do much for his milestone birthday,so he was happy the students had prepared the surprise celebration.
Over the weekend,he worked through the piles of handmade cards at his house. One card from a student stood out to him. It read: “Mr. Haze,you are my sunshine.”
56. What is Mabry's daily work as a school keeper?(no more than 5 words)
57. How did the students celebrate Mabry's birthday?(no more than 15 words)
58. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean?(1 word)
59. Why is Mabry's presence at the school important?(no more than 10 words)
60. Who is the "sunshine” in your life?Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文為記敘文。文中記敘了一位清潔工Mabry,他的日常工作就是清掃學(xué)校大樓。Mabry 愛(ài)學(xué)生,關(guān)心學(xué)生。學(xué)生們也尊敬他,喜歡他。在他80生日那天,學(xué)生們用自己的方式祝賀他的生日,表達(dá)了對(duì)Mabry的熱愛(ài)。
56.
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Haze Mabry, who has works as a school keeper for thirteen years, walks into the school building every day and empty garbage cans, wipes down bathrooms, and mops wet messes in the hallways.”可知Haze Mabry是一位清潔工,他的日常工作就是清掃學(xué)校大樓。因此本句的答案可為:Cleaning the (school) building; Or:doing(the) cleaning;
Or: He cleans the (school)building; Or: He does (the) cleaning.
57.
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Last Friday,...he found almost 800 students lining the hallways with handmade cards, blowing noisemakers and singing a full-throated happy birthday to him.和some popped out of line to hug him.”可知,上個(gè)周五,他發(fā)現(xiàn)幾乎有800名學(xué)生在走廊里排隊(duì),拿著手制卡片,吹口哨,為他唱了一首響亮的生日快樂(lè)歌,擁抱他。因此答案為:
By lining the hallways, blowing noisemakers, singing a song, handing him cards, and hugging him.
Or: By lining the hallways with (handmade) cards, blowing noisemakers, singing a song, and hugging him.
Or: They lined the hallways, blew noisemakers, sang a song, handed him cards, and hugged him.
Or: They lined the hallways with (handmade) card, blew noisemakers, sang a song, handed him cards, and hugged him.

猜測(cè)題意題。根據(jù)第二段學(xué)生們?yōu)镸abry慶祝生日的方式和劃線詞后的內(nèi)容“Mabry thanked them all,”以及“They’re like my children.”可知 Mabry 愛(ài)學(xué)生,把學(xué)生當(dāng)作自己的孩子。那么學(xué)生們也表達(dá)了他們對(duì)Mabry的熱愛(ài)。因此Mabry被學(xué)生的愛(ài)所感動(dòng),故所以的“affection”相當(dāng)于“Love”,故填love。
Or: liking.
Or: Fondness.
59.
【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容“...he will always stop what he’s doing to take care of a
child if that child is having a bad day. If a child approaches him, he will pause to give that boy his
undivided attention. He’s the most loved one in this building.”以及最后一段“Mabry works circles

The Cost of Thinking
Despite their many differences, all human beings share several defining characteristics. such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.
The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals. It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains. Mammals(哺乳動(dòng)物)weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm2. Modern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be better. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain—consumption of energy—on the body. I's not easy to carry around, especially when boxed inside a massive skull(傾骨). It's even harder to provides energy. In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3%of total body weight but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest. By comparison, the brains of apes(類人猿)require only 8%of rest-time energy. Early humans pad for their large brains in two ways. Firstly, they spent more time in search food. Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. It's hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive. A chimpanzee(黑猩猩) can't win an argument with a modern man, but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll.
Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it's easier to find food or enemies. In addition, their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling. As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.
Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and has a relatively small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull. Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands backaches and painful necks.
We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creature. Thus humans who lived a million years ago despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eating animals.

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文為記敘文。主要敘述人用大腦思考的代價(jià)。人類與動(dòng)物相比有兩大特點(diǎn):大大的大腦和直立行走。超大的大腦使人類擁有更高的智商,但卻消耗巨大的能量。直立行走讓人類擅長(zhǎng)尋找食物和抵御敵人,解放了的雙手來(lái)更復(fù)雜的事。但卻讓人類遭受腰痛和頸部疼痛等。人類成為地球上最強(qiáng)大的動(dòng)物,享受無(wú)與倫比的優(yōu)勢(shì),卻對(duì)食肉動(dòng)物懷有恐懼。
71. characteristics
【解析】考查信息歸納。根據(jù)第一段“all human beings share defining characteristics ,such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.”可知,大腦袋和雙腿直立行走的能力是人類共有的特點(diǎn)(characteristics)。故填characteristics。
72. disadvantages
【解析】考查信息歸納。72題就是對(duì)第三段內(nèi)容的總結(jié)。第三段主要敘述了人類的大腦大的缺點(diǎn)。因此本空格填寫(xiě)disadvantages。
73. energy
【解析】考查信息來(lái)源。根據(jù)第三段中的“a huge brain is a huge drain--consumption of energy ”以及“It (the brain) consumes 25% of the body’s energy when the body is at rest.By comparison the brains of apes require only 8% of rest- time energy”可知,人類巨大的大腦是一個(gè)巨大的能量消耗。 當(dāng)身體處于休息時(shí),大腦要消耗25%的身體能量。相比之下,類人猿的大腦只需要8%的休息時(shí)間能量。人類與動(dòng)物相比,動(dòng)物需要的能量(energy)要比人類少。故填energy。
74. impact(s)
【解析】考查信息歸納題。分析空后的75--78小題所在的第五段和第六段的內(nèi)容可知,此部分主要敘述了直立行走對(duì)人類的影響。故填impact(s)。
75. guard
【解析】考查信息轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第五段的第一句“Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it’s easier to find food or enemies.”可知,另一個(gè)獨(dú)特的人類特征是我們直立行走。站起來(lái),更容易找到食物或敵人。找到敵人,就是為了防御敵人。因?yàn)閛r為連詞,在此句中連結(jié)兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ),故空格填動(dòng)詞?!癵uard against...”為固定搭配,意為“防御......”,故本空填寫(xiě)guard。
76. other考查信息來(lái)源。根據(jù)第五段中的”...their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes ,like throwing stones or signaling. As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands. ”可知,解放了的雙手可以用于做其它的事,即有其它的目的。故填other。
77. limits
【解析】考查信息歸納。根據(jù)第五段“walking upright has disadvantages. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on four and a relative small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge , especially when the bones had to support an extra -large skull.” 可知,直立行走也有缺點(diǎn)。我們祖先進(jìn)化了上百億年,?骼也只能支撐四肢行走和有一個(gè)相對(duì)較小的頭。直立行走對(duì)人類的骨架是一個(gè)相當(dāng)大的挑戰(zhàn),限制了人的頭腦的大小。故本空填limits。
78. physical
【解析】考查信息轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第六段“..., Humankind paid for its vision and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks.” 可知,直立對(duì)人類的骨架是一個(gè)相當(dāng)大的挑戰(zhàn),人類為自己的視力和靈巧的雙手付出了代價(jià),換來(lái)的是腰酸背痛和脖子疼痛。由此得出,直立導(dǎo)致身體方面的(physical)痛苦,故填physical。
79. beat
【解析】根據(jù)最后一段“We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth.”可知,我們假設(shè)大腦越大,優(yōu)勢(shì)越大。很明顯,這些使得人類成為地球上最強(qiáng)大的動(dòng)物。由此可推斷出我們的大腦比動(dòng)物大,在智力方面人類比動(dòng)物更聰明,即在智力方面擊敗了(beat)其他動(dòng)物。故本空填beat。
80. fearful/afraid
【解析】根據(jù)最后一段“...humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they weak and marginal creatures. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat--eating animals.”可知,盡管人類享受著所有這些優(yōu)勢(shì),但也是弱小的生物。因此盡管擁有巨大的大腦和鋒利的石器,但也曾經(jīng)對(duì)食肉動(dòng)物仍舊害怕/恐懼。因?yàn)榭涨笆窍祫?dòng)詞,故本空要填形容詞(afraid/fearful)可知,此處要填名詞,故填fearful/afraid。

Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(觸發(fā))events, personality traits(特征), and our assessment of situations. 51
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. ____52____ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 53 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消極的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
55 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.

閱讀表達(dá)
閱讀短文,并按照題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。
Some people live to climb the highest mountains. Some people live only dreaming about it while others live to avoid ever climbing at all. But one thing is certain, all people encounter mountains in their life.
When I was a little girl, my family moved to a tiny town at the bottom of a big mountain. One day after school, while exploring the green woods of this magnificent mountain, I almost fell on a set of stairs. What could these steps lead to? Curiosity got the best of me as I knew it would be starting to get dark soon. I started climbing up those strangely mysterious steps.
I climbed and climbed. There was nothing but just green bushes and these steps. I had to reach the top! But it was now getting real dark. If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back. My mum would be worried sick if I didn’t come home soon. So I ran back home almost in the dark while trying not to get too scared.
Anxiously I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical mountain. Could there be a castle up there? Maybe I would find a monster(怪物). Maybe I was taking the risk of never coming back home. Or, maybe all I would find was absolutely nothing! But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all cost. I could hardly wait to try this adventure again.
Now we live in a world surrounded by the "can’t do" attitudes. We all fall down. We all have doubts and regrets. Still we must climb and dream about what’s at the top of our mountain. Monsters may appear or the night will fall. But never ever give up on your dream! Never let anyone tell you, "You can’t." Dream big and climb high!

How Arts Promote Our Economy
When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music, or an award-winning performance in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. The economic impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.
The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their professional knowledge and skills.
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. “If you build it they will come” is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or part-time employees or independent contractors.
A successful arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect(連鎖反應(yīng))throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1 million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.
No doubt the theater has contributed to the area’s development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries, studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. In this way, arts and culture also serve as a public good.
TeCo Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of Bloomberg’s investment of $35,000 to get nearly $400,000 in public and private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses produce $298 for every dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an economic impact of almost $3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry, including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.
The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entire small-business community benefits.
It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who truly understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.
