【14題詳解】
考查介詞。句意:六年前我在新加坡的時候,我給了一個出租車司機(jī)一張寫有具體地址的卡片,讓他盡快帶我去那里。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,and前后連接兩個句子,此處表示“有”,應(yīng)用介詞with,構(gòu)成with復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu):with+名詞+介詞短語,故填with。

【16題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意:在下出租車之前,我被告知,乘坐出租車一直是一個重要的經(jīng)歷,它會給一個人留下對這個國家的第一印象??仗幰龑?dǎo)限制性定語從句,先行詞為experience,指物,且從句缺少主語,應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞that/which來引導(dǎo),故填that/which。

When were you born? For most people this is an easy question. Even those who don’t know their exact birthday can usually figure out when they were born to within a few years. Yet the Internet is full of quizzes____17____ (make) to help you determine in which decade you were born. These are usually based on what____18____ (happen) in American pop culture at the time you first became aware of it. It sounds foolish. But many people, though____19____ (complain) about the stupid quizzes, still take them, wondering ____20____ their answers generate their correct birth year.
【答案】17. made
18. was happening
19. complaining
20. if##whether
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上充滿了幫助你確定你出生在哪個年代的測驗,這些測試是基于你第一次意識到美國流行文化時所發(fā)生的事情,盡管許多人感覺這些測試很愚蠢,但是他們還是會做測試,因為他們想知道測試的答案是否符合他們正確的出生年份。
【17題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意:然而,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上充滿了幫助你確定你出生在哪個年代的測驗。句中有謂語動詞is,且前后無連詞,此處應(yīng)用非謂語動詞作定語,修飾名詞quizzes,動詞make和quizzes是被動關(guān)系,因為make quizzes意為“做測試”,此處“測試是被做”,所以此處應(yīng)用過去分詞made作后置定語,故填made。
【18題詳解】
考查時態(tài)。句意:這些通常是基于你第一次意識到美國流行文化時所發(fā)生的事情。what引導(dǎo)賓語從句,空處在從句中作謂語,由at the time you first became aware of it可知,句子描述過去當(dāng)下時間點發(fā)生的事,應(yīng)用過去進(jìn)行時,故填was happening。
【19題詳解】
考查狀語從句的省略。句意:但是許多人,雖然一邊抱怨愚蠢的測驗,但一邊卻仍然做測試,因為他們想知道測試的答案是否產(chǎn)生正確的出生年份。此處是though引導(dǎo)的狀語從句的省略,從句主語和主句主語是同一主語,所以從句省略主語和系動詞,從句主語many people和動詞complain是主動關(guān)系,應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞形式和系動詞are構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時,即完整句子為though many people are complaining about the stupid quizzes,省略句為:though complaining about the stupid quizzes,故填complaining。
【20題詳解】
考查賓語從句。句意:但是許多人,雖然一邊抱怨愚蠢的測驗,但一邊卻仍然做測試,因為他們想知道測試的答案是否產(chǎn)生正確的出生年份。空處引導(dǎo)賓語從句,從句不缺成分,根據(jù)句意可知,此處表示“是否”,應(yīng)用不做成分,只起連接作用的if/whether來引導(dǎo),故填if/whether。

A few days ago, my husband, Russ, and I lost our house of 28 years to a California wild fire.
On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford. The next morning, we had to drive three and a half hours to find a hotel that had an available room. Only later, in the local newspaper, did we see photographs of the destruction. Our house had been consumed by the fire along with most of our neighborhood.
How are we going to rebuild after this? I thought, rounding a corner in the sidewalk on my walk back to the hotel. Is it even possible?
I noticed something up ahead—a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. They were just nickels, but they somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If these were lucky coins, I could use all the luck I could get.
A few days later, I made a trip to the store to buy essentials. The enormous task of replacing everything we’d lost put a heavy weight on me. I was about to leave when I felt the urge to stop and turn my head to the right. I could hardly believe it—there on nickela shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is more than luck, I thought and put the nickel in my pocket.
I told myself that I had found the nickels just by chance. Then I found one next to my plate at a restaurant—on Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our house more than ever. It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted.
Whenever I reached my breaking point, I’d find another nickel. In the grass at the park, or near the tire of my car in a parking lot. Once, my change for a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels. “I’m sorry,” the cashier said. “It’s all we have.”
It’s all I needed!
One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phone rang. It was a real-estate agent I’d been working with.
“I have a new listing,” she said.
“When can we see it?”
A few hours later, Russ and I were following the agent down the driveway toward the house.
I didn’t think long. Because there, in the driveway, …
24. After the wild fire, the couple ________.
A. lived in their car for one night
B. took some photos of the destruction
C. could hardly afford their Thanksgiving dinner
D. saved precious items from the burned down house
25. What does the underlined word “plummeted” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Remained. B. Changed. C. Strengthened. D. Sank.
26. What did the found nickels mean to the author?
A. Luck for the foreseeable future.
B. Hope during challenging times.
C. Signs of a huge fortune to come.
D. Reminders of what had happened.
27. Which would be the best ending for the passage?
A. I spotted a flash of silver in the sun, two nickels, both heads up.
B. I found an old nickel, which seemed to tell a story from the past.
C. I saw a mysterious locked box, and thought perhaps it was full of nickels.
D. I looked up and imagined something on a cloud, a giant nickel, just for me.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。講述了作者住了28年的房子被大火摧毀,住在外面的酒店。偶然撿到2枚鎳幣,后來作者發(fā)現(xiàn)每當(dāng)她精神一落千丈時就會出現(xiàn)鎳幣的故事。
24題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford.(那天晚上,我們不得不離開家,睡在福特的后座上。)”可知,野火過后,他們是在車上過了一夜。故選A。
【25題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第七段中“Whenever I reached my breaking point, I’d find another nickel.(每當(dāng)我達(dá)到臨界點時,我就會發(fā)現(xiàn)另一個鎳。)和“Then I found one next to my plate at a restaurant—on Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our house more than ever”(感恩節(jié)那天,我在一家餐館的盤子旁邊發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個,我比以往任何時候都更想念我們的房子。)”推斷可知,每次有低落情緒(通過想家情節(jié)推出)時,就會出現(xiàn)鎳幣。劃線單詞plummeted大意為心情低落,心涼。故選D。
【26題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“If these were lucky coins, I could use all the luck I could get.(如果這些是幸運(yùn)幣,我可以用我能得到的所有運(yùn)氣。)”以及下文作者收到房產(chǎn)中介電話要帶她去看房子,可以看出作者撿到硬幣對作者來說是困難時期的希望。故選B。
【27題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章中作者總是在她心情低落時撿到鎳幣可以推測,接下來作者可能在車道上,戶外陽光下看到了2枚鎳幣,這和第四段“I noticed something up ahead—a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels.(我注意到前方有東西——一對鎳幣,像珍貴的珠寶一樣閃閃發(fā)光。)”第一次發(fā)現(xiàn)鎳幣的情節(jié)前后呼應(yīng)。故選A。
C
Of the more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes in the world, just a small number specialize in sucking human blood. How mosquitoes track us down so effectively isn’t currently known, but it matters, since they carry dangerous diseases which may cause death.
“In fact, stopping these annoying insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those diseases each year,” said Carolyn Gauff, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. That’s why Gauff’s team wants to understand how they find and target humans.
Mosquitoes mostly choose what to bite based on odor (氣味). Knowing how a potentially disease-carrying mosquito finds a person, while ignoring other warm-blooded animals, is a key question. But it’s not easy to answer, since any animal smell is made up of hundreds of chemicals mixed together in specific percentage. “The actual chemicals that are found in human odor are basically the same as the chemicals found in animal odor—it’s the percentages and the relative large amount of those substances in human mixtures that’s unique,” said Gauff.
To investigate, researchers decided to record neural activity in the brain of mosquitoes while exposing them to natural human and animal odor samples. They collected odor samples from about 40 different animals. When they compared some of those with the 16 human samples, something jumped out. Decanal is particularly rich in human skin. Common in the natural world, in humans, decanal comes from another, more complex substance. When one component of our skin’s natural oils, sapienic acid, breaks down, decanal is left over. This acid is only found in human beings. It’s what likely leads to the high levels of decanal that help the mosquitoes smell their way to us.
Understanding what the mosquitoes are targeting is only part of the story; knowing how they do it is also important. To see exactly how mosquitoes use this sense, scientists used genetically modified (轉(zhuǎn)基因的) mosquitoes so that they could cut open mosquitoes’ heads and watch neurons firing when they’re exposed to human and animal odors. The research team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that sense odors, so when they looked in the insects’ brains, they thought they might see a lot of activity. But it was surprisingly quiet, meaning that the signal was perhaps quite simple, down to just a couple types of neurons. “One type of neuron responded really strongly to both humans and animals. Another type of neuron responded to both—but it responded much more strongly to humans than animals,” Gauff said.
How to keep mosquitoes’ decanal signal from being transmitted will be the research team’s next focus. Gauff hoped their current work could be used to make mosquito killers and attractants to prevent disease.
28. What’s the final purpose of the research conducted by Gauff’s team?
A. To study why only certain mosquitoes suck human blood.
B. To investigate the neural activity in mosquitoes’ brains.
C. To help prevent deadly diseases caused by mosquitoes.
D. To test the effectiveness of mosquito killers.
29. To which substance(s) would mosquitoes mostly be attracted?
A. Natural oil from human skin.
B. Chemicals in the environment.
C. Decanal generated in human blood.
D. Remains of decomposed sapienic acid.
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most mosquito neurons are not involved in responding to human odor.
B. Genetically modified mosquitoes are not sensitive to human odor.
C. Further research will focus on odor signal and neural connection.
D. Chemicals found in human and animal odors are quite different.

【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章講述了一隊研究人員想通過研究蚊子為什么叮咬某一類人,找到阻止它們叮咬人類的策略,預(yù)防文字叮咬引起的致命疾病。
【28題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段““In fact, stopping these annoying insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those diseases each year,” said Carolyn Gauff, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. That’s why Gauff’s team wants to understand how they find and target humans. (普林斯頓神經(jīng)科學(xué)研究所的生態(tài)學(xué)和進(jìn)化生物學(xué)教授Carolyn Gauff說:“事實上,阻止這些煩人的蚊子在它們的軌道上活動,每年可以挽救多達(dá)50萬人因這些疾病而喪生的生命?!边@就是為什么Gauff的團(tuán)隊想要了解蚊子如何發(fā)現(xiàn)和瞄準(zhǔn)人類的原因)”和最后一段中的“Gauff hoped their current work could be used to make mosquito killers and attractants to prevent disease. (Gauff希望他們目前的工作可以用于制造滅蚊劑和引誘劑,以預(yù)防疾病)”可知,Gauff最終是想幫助預(yù)防蚊子引起的致命疾?。ň热诵悦┎胚M(jìn)行此項研究的。故選C項。
【29題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“Decanal is particularly rich in human skin. (癸醛在人體皮膚中特別豐富)”和“When one component of our skin’s natural oils, sapienic acid, breaks down, decanal is left over. This acid is only found in human beings. It’s what likely leads to the high levels of decanal that help the mosquitoes smell their way to us. (當(dāng)我們皮膚的天然油脂中的一種成分——智人酸分解時,就會剩下癸酸。這種酸只存在于人身上。這很可能導(dǎo)致高水平的癸醛,幫助蚊子嗅到它們的氣味)”可知,癸酸是智人酸分解后的殘留物,蚊子通過癸醛(智人酸分解后的殘留物)找到人類,所以蚊子最喜歡癸醛(智人酸分解后的殘留物)。故選D項。

推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段中的“The research team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that sense odors, so when they looked in the insects’ brains, they thought they might see a lot of activity. But it was surprisingly quiet, meaning that the signal was perhaps quite simple, down to just a couple types of neurons. “One type of neuron responded really strongly to both humans and animals. Another type of neuron responded to both—but it responded much more strongly to humans than animals,” Gauff said. (研究團(tuán)隊已經(jīng)知道,蚊子有大約60種不同類型的神經(jīng)元來感知氣味,所以當(dāng)他們觀察蚊子的大腦時,他們認(rèn)為可能會看到很多活動。但蚊子的大腦出奇的安靜,這意味著信號可能相當(dāng)簡單,僅限于幾種類型的神經(jīng)元。Gauff說:“一種神經(jīng)元對人類和動物的氣味反應(yīng)非常強(qiáng)烈。另一種神經(jīng)元同時對兩者都有反應(yīng),但對人類氣味的反應(yīng)比動物氣味的反應(yīng)強(qiáng)烈得多?!?”可知,蚊子有大約60種不同類型的神經(jīng)元來感知氣味,但研究發(fā)現(xiàn)只有幾種類型的神經(jīng)元才會對人類和動物氣味作出反應(yīng),可得出大多數(shù)蚊子神經(jīng)元不參與對人類氣味的反應(yīng)。故選A項。
D
The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity, of more than half a billion dollars, has a simple goal: a passwordless future.
Despite the spread of password management software that can generate and remember complicated strings of random characters, some of the most common passwords are still “12345”, “password” and “iloveyou”. As a result, more than 80 percent of hacks involve these kinds of passwords; and passwords remain the most sought-after data by hackers, above other personal or sensitive information.
In many cases, individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails and other social engineering techniques. Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well. Passwords are also under attack from new technology, such as automated programs that can rapidly try to guess them, or can try stolen passwords on multiple online accounts.
Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent, the race to replace the password is under way, with biometric-based (基于生物識別的) security emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions. According to Tieo, a union of more than 250 companies, which promotes a standard system of passwordless authentication (身份驗證), the vast majority of consumer services will offer passwordless login systems in the next couple of years. “If done correctly and safely, biometrics are really helping us move to a passwordless future in a rapid manner,” said Andrew Jenkinson, CEO of Tieo.
But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim. “Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface,” said Paul Smith, director of security research at CyberPek. His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user’s face into the process.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit. Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber, a cyber research and advisory company, argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords, other websites have less motivation to update their systems. “You’ll never get rid of them,” he said. “We’re never going to get to the post-password era.”
31. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Why passwords are the most sought-after data.
B. How passwords are stolen by phishing emails.
C. How passwords have caused us trouble.
D. Why passwords are difficult to secure.
32. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Facial recognition login is the key to fighting hackers.
B. Biometric authentication has its own set of problems.
C. TAK Cyber’s login system guarantees the safety of data.
D. Spoofing brings more problems than automated programs.
33. What is Eric Brown’s attitude towards a passwordless future?
A. Indifferent. B. Passionate. C. Pessimistic. D. Objective.
34. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Biometric authentication: password security solution!
B. Start-ups race to welcome a passwordless future
C. The argument to end passwords has begun
D. Killing the password: a cure or a fantasy?
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. D

The Positive Effects of a Positive Affect
Parents often have high hopes for how their children will turn out in adulthood, such as wanting them to be healthy, to feel satisfied with their career, and to have strong friendships.____35____
Recent research suggests that a teen’s affect—especially positive affect—is one critical factor. What exactly is affect? Affect is the tendency to express positive or negative emotions, which in turn influences how we experience things and determine whether to judge a given situation as positive or negative.____36____ Moreover, research suggests that a person’s affect is relatively stable over time, especially by the time one reaches adulthood.
Affect is typically described in terms of being either positive or negative, and it seems that positive affect, in particular, is related to a number of beneficial outcomes in adulthood.
In support of this crucial role that positive affect has in development, a study by researchers at the University of Virginia followed teenagers and young adults from ages 14 to 25, allowing them to understand the predictive power of positive affect across the critical developmental period from adolescence to young adulthood.____37____ For example, teens with a higher positive affect reported had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends.
____38____ Positive affect also predicted increased self-worth and job competence, suggesting that, overall, positive affect seems to be a key predictor of young adult success across several important areas of functioning.
But what about the effects of negative affect? The researchers also examined whether negative affect would predict problems in young adulthood.____39____ Thus, the important takeaway is that adolescent positive affect may have powerful links to important life outcomes in the domains of personal well-being, career, and social relationships up to a decade later.
A. Affective responses to events typically happen automatically.
B. So how can parents help their children grasp the meaning of positive affect?
C. But what factors help produce these outcomes as teens move from adolescence to adulthood?
D. Interestingly, the results suggested that positive affect may go beyond helping teens build positive relationships.
E. The results uncovered that negative affect might account for many life problems when a teenager became a young adult.
F. Unlike positive affect, having greater negative affect did not have any significant associations with any of the later life outcomes.
G. This study found that positive affect was strongly predictive of life outcomes in young adulthood, such as developing better friendships.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章講述了研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)青少年在向成年人轉(zhuǎn)變的過程中,積極的情感將會對個人幸福感、事業(yè)成功和社會關(guān)系等方面產(chǎn)生重大的影響。
【35題詳解】
上文“Parents often have high hopes for how their children will turn out in adulthood, such as wanting them to be healthy, to feel satisfied with their career, and to have strong friendships.(父母常常對他們孩子成年后的表現(xiàn)寄予厚望,比如希望他們的身體健康,對自己的事業(yè)感到滿意,有牢固的友誼)”說明父母希望孩子們能在成年后獲得好的結(jié)果,C項“但是在青少年從青春期走向成年的過程中,哪些因素有助于產(chǎn)生這些結(jié)果呢?”中的“these outcomes”指代的就是之前提到過的結(jié)果。故選C項。
【36題詳解】
上文“Affect is the tendency to express positive or negative emotions, which in turn influences how we experience things and determine whether to judge a given situation as positive or negative.(情感是表達(dá)積極或消極情緒的傾向,這反過來影響我們?nèi)绾误w驗事物并決定是否判斷給定的情況是積極的還是消極的)”說明情感是一種情緒傾向,是需要自我決定和自我判斷的,A項“對事件的情感反應(yīng)通常是自動發(fā)生的”是對上文觀點的進(jìn)一步解釋說明。故選A項。
【37題詳解】
上文“In support of this crucial role that positive affect has in development, a study by researchers at the University of Virginia followed teenagers and young adults from ages 14 to 25, allowing them to understand the predictive power of positive affect across the critical developmental period from adolescence to young adulthood.(為了支持積極影響在發(fā)展中的這一關(guān)鍵作用,弗吉尼亞大學(xué)的研究人員對14至25歲的青少年和年輕人進(jìn)行了跟蹤研究,使他們能夠了解從青春期到青年期這一關(guān)鍵發(fā)展階段積極影響的預(yù)測能力。)”指出為了支持積極影響在發(fā)展中的這一關(guān)鍵作用,研究人員進(jìn)行了研究,下文“For example, teens with a higher positive affect reported had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends.(舉例來說,報告認(rèn)為積極影響更高的青少年對他們的朋友有更強(qiáng)和更健康的依戀關(guān)系)”說明積極影響的青少年更容易和朋友相處,所以空處應(yīng)該承上啟下,指出研究發(fā)現(xiàn),G項“這項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)積極的影響可以更好的預(yù)測青年時期的生活結(jié)果,比如建立更好的友誼”中的“developing better friendships”和下文事例中的“had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends”都是指和朋友建立良好的關(guān)系。故選G項。
【38題詳解】
上文“For example, teens with a higher positive affect reported had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends.(舉例來說,報告認(rèn)為積極影響更高的青少年對他們的朋友有更強(qiáng)和更健康的依戀關(guān)系)”說明積極的情感給青少年帶來良好的人際關(guān)系, 而D項“有趣的是,結(jié)果表明積極的影響可能不僅僅是幫助青少年建立積極的人際關(guān)系”中的“helping teens build positive relationships”指的上文提到的和朋友之間良好的關(guān)系,是對上文話題的承接,講了積極的影響的好處,下文“Positive affect also predicted increased self-worth and job competence, suggesting that, overall, positive affect seems to be a key predictor of young adult success across several important areas of functioning.(積極情感還可以預(yù)測自我價值感和工作能力的提高,這表明,總體而言,積極情感似乎是青年人在幾個重要功能領(lǐng)域取得成功的關(guān)鍵預(yù)測因素。)”也是積極影響的好處,also表明和選項是并列關(guān)系,都在講好處。故選D項。
【39題詳解】
上文“But what about the effects of negative affect? The researchers also examined whether negative affect would predict problems in young adulthood.”(但是負(fù)面影響的影響呢?研究人員還研究了負(fù)面影響是否會預(yù)測年輕成年期的問題。)可知在探究負(fù)面影響的預(yù)測。下文“Thus, the important takeaway is that adolescent positive affect may have powerful links to important life outcomes in the domains of personal well-being, career, and social relationships up to a decade later..(因此,重要的一點是,青少年的積極影響可能與十年后個人幸福、職業(yè)和社會關(guān)系領(lǐng)域的重要生活結(jié)果有著密切的聯(lián)系。)可知,下文在強(qiáng)調(diào)積極影響與生活的關(guān)聯(lián)。F項“與積極影響不同,負(fù)面影響不會與以后的生活結(jié)果有任何顯著關(guān)聯(lián)?!背薪由衔奶骄控?fù)面影響的測試結(jié)果,引起下文對于積極影響對于生活影響的進(jìn)一步說明。故選F。

第一節(jié)(共 4 小題;第 40、41 題各 2 分,第 42 題 3 分,第 43 題 5 分,共 12 分)
閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問題。請在答題卡指定區(qū)域作答。
The other day I was having coffee and catching up with Brian, a friend I hadn’t seen in over a year, when he asked me this question: “Do you regret leaving Google?” “Of course, I don’t regret it,” I answered. But when I reflected more deeply on his question, I arrived at this realization: We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life.
Truth is, not every decision we make will be the right choice for us. I learned later that quitting my one and only source of income to start an e-commerce business from nothing was a recipe for financial disaster. No, that decision was not the right one at the time. Perhaps I should’ve followed the advice I give today: Build your business while working a full-time job so that you can work from a place of stability. But then again, I wouldn’t have learned such a valuable lesson had I not acted upon what was truly important to me at the time—the freedom of pursuing my own dream, on my own terms.
We regret what’s in the past and can’t be changed. We compare the choices we made yesterday to an ideal path that we think we should have taken—we simply imagine it to be a better path. What is worse is when stuck in regret, we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
There’s a much better way to look at regret—a more mindful way—and it can be seen at a place where action, reflection, and gratitude meet.
So whenever you find yourself caught in regret, stop and ask yourself these two questions: “What have I learned from this? And how have I grown because of it?” Perhaps you might just shift your viewpoint from that of being upset and regretful to being appreciative and grateful.
40. What did Brian’s question make the writer realize?
___________________________________________________________
41. List the two words the author uses to describe the viewpoint people should take when facing regret.
___________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can’t be changed.
___________________________________________________________
43. What has been your biggest regret during your high school life? What have you learned from this? (In about 40 words)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Brian’s question makes the writer realize that we cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life.
41. Appreciative and grateful
42. When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can’t be changed.
Reason: When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
43. The biggest regret during my high school life is that I did not study hard and treasure the valuable time and could not be admitted to my ideal university. I realized the problem in my college, so I worked hard on my major and have made some achievements in my major finally. So I accept my regret and learn something from it and consider the regret as a valuable experience.
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇記敘文。本文通過作者的自身經(jīng)歷表達(dá)了我們不應(yīng)該為所做的決定后悔和遺憾,應(yīng)從沮喪和遺憾轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)楦屑ず透屑ぁ?br />
【40題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段“But when I reflected more deeply on his question, I arrived at this realization: We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life. (但當(dāng)我更深入地思考他的問題時,我意識到:我們不能后悔那些在生活中教會了我們寶貴教訓(xùn)的事情。)”可知,朋友的問題使我意識到我們不能后悔那些在生活中教會了我們寶貴教訓(xùn)的事情。故答案為Brian’s question make the writer realize that we cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life。
【41題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章最后一句“So whenever you find yourself caught in regret, stop and ask yourself these two questions: “What have I learned from this? And how have I grown because of it?” Perhaps you might just shift your viewpoint from that of being upset and regretful to being appreciative and grateful. ( 所以,當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己陷入后悔之中時,停下來問問自己這兩個問題:“我從這件事中學(xué)到了什么?我是如何因此而成長的呢?”也許你可以把你的觀點從沮喪和遺憾轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)楦屑ず透屑ぁ?”可知作者用來描述人們在面對后悔時應(yīng)該采取的觀點的兩個詞是appreciative和grateful。故答案為Appreciative and grateful。
【42題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第三段“What is worse is when stuck in regret, we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.(更糟糕的是,當(dāng)陷入后悔之中時,我們會失去對最重要的事情的控制:我們今天如何利用我們的時間。) ”可知“When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can’t be changed. (當(dāng)人們陷入悔恨時,更糟糕的是過去的選擇無法改變。)”這句話是錯誤的,當(dāng)人們陷入悔恨時,更糟糕的不是過去的選擇無法改變。而是我們會失去對最重要的事情的控制:我們今天如何利用我們的時間。故答案為When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can’t be changed. Reason: When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
【43題詳解】
開放性試題,言之有理即可。這篇文章表達(dá)了我們不應(yīng)該為所做的決定后悔和遺憾,應(yīng)從沮喪和遺憾轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)楦屑ず透屑?。我們?nèi)松?dāng)中都有后悔的事情,關(guān)鍵是我們面對后悔和遺憾的態(tài)度。故答案可為The biggest regret during my high school life is that I did not study hard and treasure the valuable time and could not be admitted to my ideal university. I realized the problem in my college, so I worked hard on my major and have made some achievements in my major finally. So I accept my regret and learn something from it and consider the regret as a valuable experience.

【答案】Dear Jim,
My school is collecting designs for the graduation ceremony. I’m writing to share my idea with you and ask for your advice.
First, the ceremony should be on weekend, thus allowing all the parents and teachers to be present, making this event livelier. It will kick off with an inspiring speech delivered by the principal, followed by a video featuring those unforgettable moments of our school life and the presentation of diplomas. We need to set up a “gratitude wall”, where we can express our gratitude to our teachers, friends and parents, without whose help we could hardly succeed. During the last session, students can open the floor to talk about their future, sharing their ambitions with each other.
So what do you think of my plan? Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
