A few years ag, I asked a neighbrhd handyman t build a tree-huse in my backyard. In part, this was t slve a prblem: my children were gd friends with the children wh lived beside us and they liked t climb ver the fence that separated the tw yards. We culd have just put a gate int the fence, but I decided that building sme kind f climbable structure arund the large fir tree in the yard, which als included a staircase int the neighbr’s yard, was a mre creative slutin t the prblem, and I liked the idea that the tree-huse wuld als serve t jin the tw play spaces tgether.
The handyman tk the task much mre seriusly than I had expected. He made drawings, built small wden mdels, and even held a kind f “visining” exercise with the children and their parents t make sure that he hadn’t missed any imprtant details. At the end f ur lengthy discussins, he asked, “Where wuld yu like me t put the beer rail?”
The questin tk me aback as I hadn’t really cnsidered the pssibility that a nice play structure in my yard might als facilitate beer cnsumptin amng the neighbrhd children, but I quickly tuned in t the fact that ur designer had intuited what shuld have been bvius t me- the children wuldn’t be the nly nes t take advantage f this platfrm up amng the branches f the beautiful ld tree. And, indeed, ver the years that I lived in that huse I discvered that the platfrm made a pretty gd perch (棲息處), nt nly fr the ccasinal cld beer, but als fr sitting and dreaming, reading a bk, enjying a picnic r even getting sme writing dne. My children enjyed climbing arund in the tree-huse, playing tag, setting up imaginary pirate ships and frtresses (城堡), and they als used it fr sme quiet thinking and even the ccasinal math hmewrk. The tree seemed t be a particularly gd algebra tutr.

Why d children learn s quickly? Is it simply a necessity, r is a child’s brain mre capable f taking in new infrmatin than an adult’s brain?
“It is a cmmn way f thinking that ‘children are like spnges’ and have the magical ability t learn new skills faster than an adult, but there are sme miscnceptins here, “ said Debbie Raven, a researcher at the University f Chester. “A child’s cgnitive (認知的) develpment is age-related and, naturally, children perfrm wrse than their lder peers in mst areas. Hwever, there are times when being yung brings an advantage, and this is especially true arund their earliest years.
This advantage is largely due t neurplasticity, meaning the brain’s ability t frm and change its cnnectins, pathways and wiring based n experiences. Neurplasticity is what gives children the capacity t learn-and, if necessary, unlearn-habits, rutines, appraches and actins very quickly. This ability is mst cnstant and rapid befre a child’s fifth birthday, when much f what they encunter r experience is nvel. “This ability t learn quickly is cnnected t several areas, including plasticity, their experiences with adults, their envirnment, and their bilgical drive t explre, “ Raven said. “Childhd is a place where children spend their time catching up with adults’ mre sphisticated abilities. “
Language learning, in particular, is an area where children ften have a huge advantage ver adults. This is largely because “babies are able t tune in t the rhythm and sunds used in their native language, and can therefre becme fluent speakers by the age f fur. “This ability can help yung children learn a secnd r third language with apparent ease, Raven said.
In a research paper, the authrs suggest that “human babies are brn seeing and hearing linguistic infrmatin that lder children and adults miss, althugh they lse this ability with mre experience in their envirnments. Mrever, babies can “discriminate speech sunds and tnes used in al f the wrld’s languages, making them pen t al input, regardless f the linguistic envirnment they are brn int.
8．Why des Raven make the remarks in paragraph 2?
A. T prve a new thery.B. T share persnal experience.
C. T crrect a wrng belief.D. T slve lng-held cnfusin.
9．What’s ne feature f “neurplasticity”？
A. It enables children t break a habit quickly.
B. It accmpanies a persn all thrugh his life.
C. It is entirely based n a kid’s past experiences.
D. It disappears sn after a child’s fifth birthday.
10．What impacts kids’ quick learning ability accrding t Raven?
A. Their brain structure.B. Their habits and rutines.
C. Their parents’ experiences.D. Their inbrn desire t explre.
11．What des the authr mainly talk abut in the last tw paragraphs?
A. Why children are talented language learners.
B. What are the prper ways f learning languages.
C. When is the best time t learn freign languages.
D. Hw envirnments can influence language learning.
“Individuals f all ages wh have empathy (共情) understand that smetimes telling little white lies can prtect ther peple frm getting hurt,” says Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychlgist in Cnnecticut. “Mst peple that I have cme acrss tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent hnesty all the time is nt beneficial.” A white lie, she explains, spares peple frm unnecessary hurt.
At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Flrida, emphasizes the imprtance f paying attentin t the way we respnd t smene. The fact is that nt telling the truth can result in smething unpleasant n yu; it’s nt just abut the persn the white lie is being tld t. Fr example, she says smene wh always tells thers that “all is gd” when it cmes t a sick parent in an effrt t avid discussins abut hw serius their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes away, the persn wh always gave an “all is gd” respnse ends up emtinally brken.
Smetimes, telling white lies ften depends n the situatin, Dr. Breur says. Fr example, cnsider a wman wh has nt seen her mther fr several mnths. The daughter has gained nticeable weight, yet the mther respnds by excitedly declaring that she lks great. “I emphasize during psychtherapy sessins with my patients that cntext helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “S when we lk at the cntext f a mther saying yu lk great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intentin f the white lie which is kindness, prtectin and uncnditinal lve. Otherwise, white lies — especially when tld t avid persnal accuntability — can start a cycle f mistrust between peple, ultimately cmprmising integrity,” she adds.
Therefre, it’s imprtant t ask urselves when it is and isn’t apprpriate t deliver the hnest truth, and when it’s best t step back and ffer a mre delicate respnse. Mre ften than nt, it’s abut finding a balance between the tw.
12．What can be learned abut white lies accrding t Barbara Greenberg?
A. They are shrt-lived.B. They are unidentifiable.
C. They are truble-making.D. They are cmmn.
13．What message des Dr. Breur deliver in paragraph 2?
A. White lies can harm bth the liars and the listeners.
B. We must respnd t ur family members truthfully.
C. It’s wrng t tell white lies t a seriusly ill parent.
D. The “all is gd” respnse is effective in dealing with patients.
14．What is Dr. Breur’s attitude twards the mther’s practice in paragraph 3?
A. Uncaring.B. Critical.C. Supprtive.D. Dubtful.
15．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. East r West, White Lies Are the Best
B. Think Twice Befre Yu Tell White Lies
C. White Lies Signify Uncnditinal Lve

I asked the waiter t bring the bill and we were shcked t see the amunt. It was much mre than we had expected. Thugh we were a bit wrried, we started laughing and enjying the whle thing. At this mment, a grup member suggested we cllect all f ur mney t pay the bill. We searched ur wallets, pckets and bags fr mney. There were s many cins there that we had t cunt 2-3 times. But unfrtunately, the ttal amunt was still nt enugh t pay the bill.
As the scene unflded, the atmsphere shifted frm casual laughter t a shared sense f respnsibility. Realizing the gravity f the situatin, I stepped up and decided t explain ur situatin t the manager, hping fr sme understanding r perhaps a way t wrk ut a payment plan.

解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Siesta Key Sunsculpting Festival, Sarasta, Nv. 10-13部分的“Thse wh buy tickets can watch the sculptures take shape, view them under clred lights at night, see demnstratins and take lessns. (買票的人可以觀看雕塑的成型，晚上在彩燈下觀看，觀看演示和上課。)”和Art Basel Miami Beach, Miami Beach, Dec. 8-10部分的“A far cry frm the street art festivals all ver Flrida, this is an event that is nt cheap-Tickets start at $65. (與佛羅里達州各地的街頭藝術(shù)節(jié)相去甚遠，這是一個不便宜的活動。門票起價65美元。)”可知，Siesta Key Sunscmpting Festival和Art Basel Miami Beach都收取入場費。故選A。

4．答案：D
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“but I decided that building sme kind f climbable structure arund the large fir tree in the yard, which als included a staircase int the neighbr’s yard, was a mre creative slutin t the prblem, and I liked the idea that the tree-huse wuld als serve t jin the tw play spaces tgether(但我決定在院子里的大冷杉樹周圍建造一些可攀爬的結(jié)構(gòu)，其中還包括通往鄰居院子的樓梯，這是一個更有創(chuàng)意的解決方案，我喜歡這個想法，樹屋也可以將兩個玩耍空間連接在一起)”可知，作者選擇建一個樓梯是因為這更有創(chuàng)意，將兩個玩?？臻g連接在一起，方便兩家孩子玩耍，故選D。
5．答案：B
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“The questin tk me aback as I hadn’t really cnsidered the pssibility that a nice play structure in my yard might als facilitate beer cnsumptin amng the neighbrhd children(這個問題讓我吃了一驚，因為我并沒有真正考慮到在我的院子里建一個漂亮的游戲結(jié)構(gòu)可能也會促進鄰居孩子們喝啤酒的可能性)”可知，作者一開始沒有考慮在院子里建一個漂亮的游戲結(jié)構(gòu)可能也會促進鄰居孩子們喝啤酒的可能性，由此推知作者一開始認為沒有必要建啤酒橫桿，故選B。
6．答案：C
解析：詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中“At the end f ur lengthy discussins, he asked, ‘Where wuld yu like me t put the beer rail?’(在我們漫長的討論結(jié)束時，他問我：‘你想讓我把啤酒橫桿放在哪里？’)”和劃線詞下文“the children wuldn’t be the nly nes t take advantage f this platfrm up amng the branches f the beautiful ld tree(孩子們不會是唯一利用這個位于美麗的老樹的樹枝上的平臺)”可知，勤雜工問作者把啤酒橫桿建在哪里，說明他意識到了孩子們不會是唯一使用這個平臺的人，intuited意為“知道，意識到”，故選C。
7．答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“The handyman tk the task much mre seriusly than I had expected.(這個勤雜工對待這項工作比我預(yù)料的要認真得多)”和第三段中“but I quickly tuned in t the fact that ur designer had intuited what shuld have been bvius t me(但我很快就意識到，我們的設(shè)計師已經(jīng)憑直覺發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個對我來說應(yīng)該很明顯的事實)”可知，這名勤雜工做事認真，且從長遠角度發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個作者忽視的事實，頗有遠見，故選C。
8．答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的““It is a cmmn way f thinking that ‘children are like spnges’ and have the magical ability t learn new skills faster than an adult, but there are sme miscnceptins here, “ said Debbie Raven, a researcher at the University f Chester. “A child’s cgnitive (認知的) develpment is age-related and, naturally, children perfrm wrse than their lder peers in mst areas. (切斯特大學(xué)的研究員黛比·拉文說：“人們普遍認為，‘孩子就像海綿’，有比成年人更快地學(xué)習(xí)新技能的神奇能力，但這里也存在一些誤解。孩子的認知發(fā)展與年齡有關(guān)，理所當(dāng)然地，孩子在大多數(shù)領(lǐng)域的表現(xiàn)都比年長的同齡人差。)”可知，研究員黛比·拉文發(fā)表評論是為了糾正一個錯誤的信仰——孩子有比成年人更快地學(xué)習(xí)新技能的神奇能力。而實際上孩子的認知發(fā)展與年齡有關(guān)。故選C。
9．答案：A
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Neurplasticity is what gives children the capacity t learn-and, if necessary, unlearn-habits, rutines, appraches and actins very quickly. (神經(jīng)可塑性使兒童有能力學(xué)習(xí)，并在必要時迅速忘記習(xí)慣、慣例、方法和行動。)”可知，“神經(jīng)可塑性”的一個特點是它能使孩子們很快改掉一個習(xí)慣。故選A。
10．答案：D
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的““This ability t learn quickly is cnnected t several areas, including plasticity, their experiences with adults, their envirnment, and their bilgical drive t explre, “ Raven said. (拉文說：“這種快速學(xué)習(xí)的能力與幾個方面有關(guān)，包括可塑性、與成年人相處的經(jīng)歷、環(huán)境和天生的探索動力。)”可知，拉文認為，孩子與生俱來的探索欲望影響了孩子的快速學(xué)習(xí)能力。故選D。
11．答案：A
解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Language learning, in particular, is an area where children ften have a huge advantage ver adults. This is largely because …(尤其是在語言學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)域，兒童往往比成年人具有巨大優(yōu)勢。這在很大程度上是因為……)”以及最后一段的“In a research paper, the authrs suggest that “human babies are brn seeing and hearing linguistic infrmatin that lder children and adults miss, althugh they lse this ability with mre experience in their envirnments. (在一篇研究論文中，作者提出，“人類嬰兒在出生時就看到和聽到了年齡較大的兒童和成年人錯過的語言信息，盡管他們在環(huán)境中有了更多的經(jīng)驗后就失去了這種能力。)”可知，作者在最后兩段主要講到為什么孩子在語言學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)域往往比成年人具有巨大優(yōu)勢，即為什么孩子是有天賦的語言學(xué)習(xí)者。故選A。
12．答案：D
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的““Mst peple that I have cme acrss tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent hnesty all the time is nt beneficial. “A white lie, she explains, spares peple frm unnecessary hurt. (‘我遇到的大多數(shù)人都會說善意的謊言，因為他們明白，一直100%的誠實是無益的?！忉屨f，善意的謊言可以讓人們免受不必要的傷害。)”可知，根據(jù)芭芭拉·格林伯格的說法，善意的謊言很常見。故選D。
13．答案：A
解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Flrida, emphasizes the imprtance f paying attentin t the way we respnd t smene. The fact is that nt telling the truth can result in smething unpleasant n yu; it’s nt just abut the persn the white lie is being tld t. (與此同時，佛羅里達州的婚姻和家庭治療師Julia Breur博士強調(diào)了關(guān)注我們回應(yīng)他人的重要性。事實是，不說實話會讓你感到不愉快；不僅僅是謊言的對象感到不愉快。)”可知，善意的謊言給說謊者和聽者都會帶來傷害。故選A。
14．答案：C
解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的““I emphasize during psychtherapy sessins with my patients that cntext helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “S when we lk at the cntext f a mther saying yu lk great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intentin f the white lie which is kindness, prtectin and uncnditinal lve. Otherwise, white lies — especially when tld t avid persnal accuntability — can start a cycle f mistrust between peple, ultimately cmprmising integrity,” she adds. (Breur說：‘在心理治療過程中，我和病人強調(diào)，情境有助于定義意義?！a充道：‘所以，當(dāng)我們看到一位母親清楚地看到女兒長胖了，卻說你看起來很棒時，這是可以接受的。它反映了善意謊言的意圖，即善意、保護和無條件的愛。否則，善意的謊言——尤其是為了逃避個人責(zé)任而撒的謊言——會引發(fā)人與人之間不信任的循環(huán)，最終損害誠信?！?”可知，Breur博士對第3段中母親的做法持支持態(tài)度，他認為它反映了善意謊言的意圖，即善意、保護和無條件的愛。故選C。
15．答案：B
解析：主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其根據(jù)最后一段中的“Therefre, it’s imprtant t ask urselves when it is and isn’t apprpriate t deliver the hnest truth, and when it’s best t step back and ffer a mre delicate respnse. Mre ften than nt, it’s abut finding a balance between the tw. (因此，重要的是要問問自己，什么時候說實話是合適的，什么時候不合適，什么時候最好退一步，做出更微妙的回應(yīng)。通常情況下，這是關(guān)于在兩者之間找到平衡。)”可知，本文主要講了善意的謊言可以讓人們免受不必要的傷害，但有時候，善意的謊言往往取決于具體情況。因此，在說善意的謊言之前要三思。B項“Think Twice Befre Yu Tell White Lies (說謊之前三思)”最能概括本文主旨，適合作為最佳標題。故選B。
16．答案：①-⑤EFCAD
解析：①上文“Remember, campfires can be fun as lng as yu put sme cmmn sense int yur practice. (記住，只要你在實踐中運用一些常識，篝火也可以很有趣。)”說明，使用一些常識可以讓篝火很有趣，下文“If yu’re a first-timer t the whle campfire scene, r simply want t knw hw t get yur fire blazing in n time at all, we’ve gt sme great tips t help yu. (如果你是第一次到篝火現(xiàn)場，或者只是想知道如何讓你的火很快燃燒起來，我們有一些很好的建議來幫助你。)”說明如果想要篝火燃燒起來，有一些有用的建議，因此推斷空處承上啟下，E項“你可能會遇到各種各樣的問題?！狈险Z境，說明想要篝火隨時燃燒，可能會遇到一些問題，有一些建議可以給你幫助。故選E。
②上文“Chse the right lcatin. With any campfire it’s imprtant t select a lcatin that’s safe. Preferably yu’d keep away frm areas with verhanging branches and dry undergrwth. ( 選擇正確的位置。在任何篝火中選擇一個安全的地點是很重要的。最好遠離有懸垂樹枝和干燥灌木叢的地方。)”說明，要選擇合適的篝火位置，安全很重要，要因此推斷F項“還要確保不要在離帳篷太近的地方生火?！狈险Z境，與前文是遞進關(guān)系，說明安全問題。故選F。
③根據(jù)“Build up frm small beginnings.”可知，本段建議從小處做起。下文“Yu’ll need t start small and get the blaze ging with firelighters, kindling r newspapers. Only then can yu start t apply larger wd lgs. (你需要從小處開始，用打火機、引火棒或報紙把火點燃。只有這樣你才能開始使用更大的原木。)”說明從小處開始，先點火，慢慢地增加更大的木頭，因此推斷點燃篝火需要時間和耐心，C項“一個大的營火需要時間和耐心?！狈险Z境，故選C。
④空處為段落標題。根據(jù)下文“Dn’t add the larger lgs n t quickly, as this can stifle (抑制) the fire and see yur effrts wasted at the first hurdle. (不要過快地添加更大的原木，因為這可能會扼殺火焰，看到你的努力在第一個難關(guān)就白費了。)”可知，本段建議要避免操之過急。因此推斷A項“不要操之過急?！狈险Z境，故選A。
⑤上文“Remember t put the fire ut. After yu sat arund the campfire, enjying great cnversatin and sme light-hearted games, yu’ll need t put the fire ut. (記得把火撲滅。當(dāng)你坐在篝火旁，享受著愉快的交談和一些輕松的游戲后，你需要把火撲滅。)”說明要記住最后要把火撲滅，下文“Instead, let the fire die dwn and pur water r shvel earth n as required. (相反，讓火慢慢地熄滅，根據(jù)需要澆水或鏟土。)”講述了滅火的方式，因此推斷D項“睡覺時不要相信冒著煙的火是安全的。”與主題相符，承接上文，與下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選D。

32．答案：①as②astnishing③being④the⑤actually⑥that/which⑦t represent⑧strength⑨appears⑩is admired
解析：①考查介詞。句意：中國生產(chǎn)和使用的竹子如此之多，以至于這個國家有時被稱為竹子王國。此處為固定搭配be referred t as，意為“被稱為……”。故填as。
②考查形容詞。句意：世界上所有已知的竹子物種中有40%生長在中國，所以中國的竹子種植量比世界上任何其他國家再多也就不足為奇了。分析句子可知，空格處應(yīng)填入形容詞作主句表語。主語從句是主句主語，it為其形式主語，根據(jù)句意，此處指“令人驚訝的”，應(yīng)用說明物性質(zhì)的-ing形容詞astnishing。故填astnishing。
③考查現(xiàn)在分詞。句意：如今，全球約五分之一的竹子供應(yīng)來自中國，四川和福建是竹子種植總面積最大的省份。分析句子可知，此處是with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，空格處應(yīng)填入非謂語動詞。該結(jié)構(gòu)中的賓語Sichuan and Fujian與be是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，be用現(xiàn)在分詞形式作賓補。故填being。
④考查冠詞。句意：竹子是地球上生長最快的植物之一。根據(jù)空后形容詞的最高級形式fastest-grwing可知，此處應(yīng)用定冠詞the。故填the。
⑤考查副詞。句意：雖然有些類型的竹子可以長到35米高，但你可能會驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，竹子實際上是一種草，而不是一棵樹。分析句子可知，此處應(yīng)用副詞作狀語，修飾句子“竹子是一種草，而不是一棵樹”。actual的副詞形為式actually。故填actually。
⑥考查定語從句。句意：在中國傳統(tǒng)文化中，竹子、梅花、蘭花和菊花組成一個群體，被稱為四君子。分析句子可知，此處是限定性定語從句，先行詞為grup，指物，關(guān)系代詞替代先行詞在從句中作主語，故用關(guān)系代詞that/which引導(dǎo)定語從句。故填that/which。
⑦考查動詞不定式。句意：群體中的每個成員都被用來代表理想人物性格的某些方面。be used t d sth. 意為“被用來做某事”，故用動詞不定式作目的狀語。故填t represent。
⑧考查名詞。句意：以竹子為例，它象征著謙遜和精神力量。分析句子可知，空格處應(yīng)填入名詞作賓語。strng的名詞形式為strength，不可數(shù)名詞。故填strength。
⑨考查時態(tài)。句意：除了松樹和梅花，竹子有時也會作為冬季三友的一部分出現(xiàn)。分析句子可知，空格處作謂語。根據(jù)上下文可知，此處應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。句子主語是bamb，故謂語動詞appear應(yīng)用單數(shù)第三人稱形式。故填appears。
⑩考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意：這三種植物中的每一種都因其在天氣變冷時保持堅硬和新鮮的能力而備受欽佩。分析句子可知，空格處應(yīng)填入謂語動詞。根據(jù)句中時間狀語從句when the weather turns cld可知，此處應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。主語Each f these three plants與謂語動詞admire是邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系，故用被動語態(tài)，注意主謂一致。故填is admired。
