第一节 (共 10 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 25 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
On a steamy July day in Bayonet Point,Florida,Gene Work and his brotherinlaw,Mark
Rouco , were renewing Gene’s lawn.It had grown brown and patchy in the heat , and the
homeowners’ association had threatened to heavily fine him if the situation wasn’t improved.The
new sod(草皮) was sitting in the driveway on four pallets,but the job was slowgoing.Gene,then
40,wasn’t feeling right.He went inside to take a break and collapsed on the couch,clutching his
chest.His wife,Melissa Work,called 911 quickly.
Even though he was staring down death,Gene had one thing on his mind:that lawn.If the sod
wasn’t put down that day,it would die.“While he was having his heart attack,literally in and out
of consciousness ,he kept begging me to have it put down because he didn’t want it to go to
waste,” Melissa wrote in a Facebook post.
Soon Pasco County Fire Rescue arrived and took Gene and Melissa to the hospital,leaving
Rouco behind to tackle the yard.Within an hour,he had managed to remove the old grass.He was
about to lay the new sod,which he feared would take him well into the night,when two emergency
vehicles appeared.Seven men—the same ones who had treated his brother—got out.Gene had told
them how badly he’d wanted to get the sod down,so they had returned to help.The job was done in
under two hours.
Meanwhile,Gene had surgery to insert stents(支架) in his heart,alleviating a potentially deadly
blockage.He’s home now,fully recovered—and enjoying his beautiful lawn.
The Works are still amazed that those EMTs(Emergency medical technician) went above and
beyond their job description.“These men,” Melissa told tampabay.com,“saved Gene’s life,
and then came back to save his grass.That’s just so awesome.”
21.Why did Gene want to renew his lawn?
A.It was in bad condition.
B.He was fined by the association.
C.The sod grew too slowly.
D.He disliked the color of the lawn.
22.The seven men (EMTs) returned in order to .
A.perform their duties
B.help with Gene’s lawn
C.check Gene’s house
D.send Gene back from hospital
23.What does the underlined word “alleviating” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Removing. B.Causing.
C.Easing. D.Expanding.
B
One way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits.It is a
mistake to think that we can make better decisions if only we keep our feelings under
control.Instead , a mix of feelings like anxiety and logical( 合 逻 辑 的 )thinking leads to sound
decisionmaking.It’s true that there is plenty of research showing that higher levels of anxiety can
make us more likely to avoid risks in our decisionmaking.There is also evidence that anxiety can
increase the attention you pay to relevant information.
Recent studies have shown that people who are anxious about their relationship(for example,
they fear to be abandoned)tend to be better at recognizing people who tell lies and are more likely to
raise the alarm when danger is present.
In the real world though,it’s worth realizing that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely
common.It communicates to others that you care,and what’s more,it’s probably a sign that you
are intelligent.At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on
measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests.This seems reasonable : if
you’re a thinker,you are sure to be always thinking about the future and imagine possible plots,
including bad ones.
The important thing,if you are a worrywart(杞人忧天者),is not to let your fear destroy your
dreams.And don’t bury your head in the sand.Instead,act on your fears—do the research as well as
preparation, so rather than walking blindly into what you fear, you meet the challenge in full
readiness.
When anxiety beats you,or casts a shadow over your life,this is a serious problem.No one is
denying that.But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview,
you needn’t see it as your enemy.Anxiety is an important feeling,developed through evolution.As
for people who are fairly anxious by nature,there is reason for cheer,too.Your nerves(神经紧张) are
a sign of your watchfulness.Listen to them and act on them.Then you can turn your nervousness into
your advantage.
24.What can we infer from the first paragraph about anxiety?
A.It can enable us to be more focused.
B.It can stop us from thinking logically.
C.It can make us more willing to take risks.
D.It can be the only reason for all bad decisions.
25.How should we deal with anxiety in the author’s opinion?
A.Regard it as our enemy.
B.Take action to control it.
C.Avoid being defeated by it.
D.Treat it as a minor feeling.
26.What is the theme of the passage?
A.Effective ways to prevent anxiety.
B.Unexpected benefits of anxiety.
C.Tips on how to keep a good mood.
D.Common misunderstandings about anxiety.
C
You’re so young right now,but I hope this letter will be helpful to you one day when you’re
older.I feel it is my responsibility,as a mother of two little girls,to lead you down a path that is
relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and selfimage.In a lot of women’s eyes,I’ve probably
already failed in this aspect due to a lot of pink Barbie dolls in Vera’s room right now.
But I will say this about Barbie dolls: I played with Barbie dolls for many years when I was
growing up and here I have a healthy body and a positive image.I have a master’s degree , a
successful career and a published book.If Barbie dolls were really so damaging to my femininity(女
人气质) and selfimage,I highly doubt whether I could list all of these achievements.
It’s hard for women not to worry about our weight or to wish we could afford more stylish
clothes.It’s hard not to want someone else’s hair or eyelashes.We women go round and round in
circles,holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes.The thing I’ll tell you is this: not
even the prettiest of us feel settled.The girl you think looks the most perfect in all the world is
probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.
Don’t let that message carry any weight within yourselves.You are not worthless.You are so
full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second.If someone pushes you
down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller,and know that the
reason why they pushed you down in the first place is just that they’re scared.I want to tell you that
I have never in my life felt more beautiful than when I have stood my tallest.
27.What does the author think about Barbie dolls?
A.They did no harm to her image.
B.They enabled her to achieve a lot.
C.They prevented her development.
D.They contributed to her promotion.
28.What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A.It’s women’s nature to be envious.
B.It’s easy to read women’s thoughts.
C.Women like to be close to each other.
D.Women tend to pursue a perfect appearance.
29.What does the author suggest her daughters do?
A.Try to be the most beautiful.
B.Stand tall with love and toughness.
C.Compare themselves with others to improve.
D.Push others down on the way to be the tallest.
30.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the letter?
A.To tell her daughters what real beauty is.
B.To warn her daughters of the trouble in life.
C.To share with her daughters all her experiences.
D.To persuade her daughters to follow her example.

How to Think Outside the Box
Being open to dissenting( 持 异 议 的 ) opinions is not the only way to think outside the
box. 31
A break in our everyday life may provide the force needed to shift the direction of our
thinking.So we can change environments. 32 For example,reorganizing our desk or taking a new
route to work.However,for others,bigger changes such as a new job or a marriage are required.
A famous concept is approaching routine situations as if we met or saw them for the first
time.In other words,we should look at them as if we’d never seen them. 33 For instance,
when we brush our teeth,take a moment to look at the toothbrush as if we never laid eyes on such an
object and noticed its color and shape.Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how our
mouth feels as we move the brush back and forth.
34 The mere presence of a group of people with diverse experiences , views and
backgrounds in our everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to
change.Why?Because they are key drivers of the development of new ideas and solutions.
Unlike negative emotions(情感)that cause specific reactions (for example,fear drives us to
flee),positive emotions help us broaden our attention,explore our environment,and open ourselves
to absorbing information. 35 They can be those that are going well or for which we are
grateful.This shiftingintopositivity process will automatically brighten our mood—and free our
brain.
A.It’s also helpful to seek for the difference.
B.For some people,small changes might work.
C.We should show respect for different cultures too.
D.Some small techniques could help broaden the way we think.
E.Take a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life.
F.Positive emotions play an important part in unfreezing our thinking.
G.“Beginner’s mind” allows us to remain open to experiences despite any knowledge we may
have.

A week later,her father once again asked Jenny after her story.“Do you love me,Jenny?”
“Oh yes,Daddy,you know I love you.” “Well,then,give me your pearls.” “Daddy,why
must you ask for the pearls?” Jenny refused again,“Not only did I finish all those chores,but
also I spent the dollar bill given for my birthday just to pay for it.” They both fell into silence.Then
her father smiled,comforting her with a warm hug.“That’s okay,darling.Good night,my little
one.”
Several days later,when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story as usual,he was surprised
to find something under the story book,which turned out to be the necklace.“Daddy,now you can
have it.”Jenny raised her head , “You know , I love you.” Her father was moved beyond
words.Slowly , he pulled something out of his pocket.It was a pretty necklace with real pearls
shining.“The more you are willing to give,the more you are likely to receive.That’s the real
meaning of sharing and giving.” Her father helped Jenny put on pearls.“You know,I love you,
little one.”
