to find out what's going on in the world. It's interactive too.
Woman: Really?
Man: Yeah! You can write reports for it and they include the best ones in the paper. Cool?
Woman: If you like writing, I suppose. Not a talent of mine.
Man: So you don't bother with the news then.
Woman: I wouldn't say that. I do follow it just as long as it doesn't seem like too much school work.

killers. I’ll need two alarm clocks. And I get a Friday lab from 2 to 4. I can’t get an earlier one because they conflict
with my biology courses.

Man: Yeah. You still have time before you register the courses? Woman: There are still a few minutes left till ten.
Man: I’ve heard that there’s a real shortage of dorm space this year. Woman: How come? The student body
doesn’t increase, I think.
Man: They pulled down Dormitory A to put up a new one— but it won’t be finished until the end of December.
Woman: Too bad, I wouldn’t want to live outside the campus anyway. You know, it’s economical and convenient
to live right here.
Man: Yeah. But we could share the money for an apartment — and think of the parties we could throw! You can’t
have a real party in a dorm room.
Woman: Yeah. That’s a very good point. Lets’ keep our eyes open for a place outside school for next year, then.

18. Why did Lin choose to focus on the environment?

【答案】17. A 18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】Man: Lin, you’re what’s called a vlogger — you put videos that you’ve made online for people to watch,
in your case about environment. How did you learn to do that?
Woman: One of my old school friends was already a vlogger, but her videos were about travel, so she wasn’t
really at home enough to help. I’m still at university and my department was running these courses for helping
people become vloggers, so I went along to those. There’s so much stuff about it online, but I just found it
confusing.
Man: Why did you choose to focus on environment issues?
Woman: It’s just something that I’ve believed is important for ages and think little is being done. It’s not connected
to what I’m studying at university, so it wasn’t like I got advice from any of my classmates.
Man: How did you feel when your videos first became successful?
Woman: I was expecting to only have a few people watching regularly for years. I couldn’t believe how wrong I
was about this, even though I knew that many felt strongly about the subject.
Man: What’s your latest video about?
Woman: I’ve just finished a series encouraging more people to use buses and trains rather than cars, but I’ll be
moving on to how and why the world is becoming warmer in the new few videos. The most popular ones so far
gave people ideas on how to re-use things they usually throw away, like glass and plastic.
Man: Thanks, Lin!

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search
for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown
me hither and thither, in a wayward course over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy—ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the
rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness—that terrible
loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable
lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the
prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might
seem too good for human life, this is what—at last—I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished
to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean (毕达哥拉斯) power by which
number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought
me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by
oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain
make a mockery (嘲弄) of what human life should be. I long to alleviate (减少) the evil, but I cannot, and I too
suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered
me.
24. Which would be the best title of the essay?
A. The suffering of life. B. The truth about love.
C. The forces driving me. D. The power of knowledge.
25. What does the author compare his life’s passion to?
A. The shining stars. B. Great winds.
C. A bottomless abyss. D. A boundless ocean.
26. Which is NOT a reason why the author has sought love?
A. It relieves loneliness. B. It brings ecstasy.
C. It provides a glimpse of heaven. D. It leads to a marriage.
27. What would the author most probably agree with?
A. He regrets that he could not free himself of pity.
B. Human love is ultimately disappointing.
C. Heaven is merely a poetic invention.
D. A loving person naturally wants to relieve the suffering of others.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是散文,主要介绍了三种简单却极其强烈的情感主宰着罗素的生活:对爱的渴望、对知识的
追求、对人类痛苦的难以承受的怜悯之心。
【24 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward
course over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.”这三种激情像狂风一样,把我吹得东
飘西荡,在痛苦的深海上恣意妄为,迫使我濒临绝望的边缘。文章一开始提到了我追求的三种激情,后文
说这三种激情迫使着我,它们是驱使我的力量,所以最佳标题是 C 项“驱使我的力量”,ABD 只提到了激
情的一方面,比较片面。故选 C 项。
【25 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“These passions, like great winds,”这些激情,像狂风一样。可知作者把激情比作
狂风,故选 B 项。
【26 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“first, because it brings ecstasy…next, because it relieves loneliness…
finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that
saints and poets have imagined. ” 首先,因为它能让你欣喜若狂,其次,它能减轻你的孤独。最后,是因为
在爱情的结合中,我看到圣徒和诗人们所想象的天空景象的神秘缩影。第二段提到了三个原因,分别对应
ABC 选项,D 选项没有提及,故选 D 项。
【27 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in
my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and
the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery (嘲弄) of what human life should be. I long to
alleviate (减少) the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.”但同情心总把我带回尘世。痛苦的呼号的回声在我心中
回荡,饥饿的儿童,被压迫者折磨的受害者,被儿女视为可厌负担的无助的老人,以及充满孤寂、贫穷和
痛苦的整个世界,都是对人类应有生活的嘲讽。我渴望减轻这些不幸,但是我无能为力,而且我自己也深
受其害。由此判断出作者同意一个有爱心的人自然想要减轻别人的痛苦。故选 D 项。
C
For many years, school children in the US have been taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as
museums of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful
skills, but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who
will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have
this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a
means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage.
However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for
school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of
finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t
cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with
this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury.
Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement
parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could
have a basis in generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent
survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take
the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun.
Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s development. A
research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum
greatly improved their knowledge of and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger
historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools
cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children’s
learning experiences are lost.
28. What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions?
A. To teach students useful skills in economics.
B. To make every student exposed to art and culture.
C. To educate students to preserve cultural heritage.
D. To encourage parents to take their children there.
29. Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips?
A. The drop in school funds. B. Students’ demand for fun.
C. The dilemma of school finance. D. Teachers’ generational differences.
30. What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The switch from old generations to young generations.
B. The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.
C. The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain.
D. The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions.
31. What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene?
A. Students are rewarded with more cultural awareness.
B. Amusement parks enrich children’s learning experiences.
C. Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum.
D. Field trips guarantee better future academic performance.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了美国的学生都被带到艺术博物馆等文化机构进行“实地考察”给学
生带来的好处及其这些活动减少的原因。
【28 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话"So you could say that taking school students on field trips is
a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage."可知,因此你可以说待学生
实地考查旅行时给每个人平等接近文化遗产的一种方式。所以到文化机构实地考察的最初目的是让每个学
生都能接触到艺术和文化。故选 B 项。
【29 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. ”可知,学校组织的考察团
数量大幅降低的最主要原因是学校财务的困境。故选 C 项。
【30 题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools
increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than
an opportunity for cultural learning. ”可知,此外,这些实地考察日的性质也在改变。学校越来越
多地把游乐园或体育赛事作为对学生的款待,而不是文化学习的机会。由此可知,This shift 指的是从一
个学习的机会变成一个款待学生的机会。故选 C 项。
【31 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句、第三句“A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that
students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of and the ability to think
critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the
future. ”可知,阿肯色大学的杰伊·格林领导的一项研究发现,参观艺术博物馆的学生极大地提高了他们对
艺术的知识和批判性思考的能力。他们还表现出更强烈的历史兴趣,未来更有可能参观文化场所。由此可
推知,学生们得到的回报是更多的文化意识。故选 A 项。
D
Put five, eight, twelve or more people together in a room, and it’s a game of luck as to how well they’ll
function as a team. The larger the group, the more difficult it becomes. It’s a lot like dining out with a bunch of
friends. Where to go? Italian? Vegetarian? Steakhouse? Each person has their own appetite, which can make
creating a “shared-interest” extremely challenging.
Shared-interest is the lifeblood of teams, and only the most successful companies know how to foster it. But
how?
“Project Aristotle”, an experiment led by Abeer Dubey, a manager in Google’s People Analytics division was
conducted in 2012 to discover how to build the “perfect team.” After years of analyzing data and interviews from
more than 180 teams across the company, Google found that the individual personalities in a team are not so
relevant.
“We had lots of data, but there was nothing showing that a mix of specific personality types or skills or
backgrounds made any difference. The ‘who’ part of the equation didn’t seem to matter,” Dubey said in an
interview with The New York Times. Instead, the researchers found that there were five key characteristics of
enhanced teams:
Psychological safety: Everyone feels safe in taking risks, and that they won’t be embarrassed or punished
for doing so.
Dependability: Everyone completes quality work on time.
Structure and clarity: Everyone knows what their specific expectations are. These expectations must be
challenging yet attainable.
Meaning: Everyone has a sense of purpose in their work, for example, supporting family.
Impact: Everyone sees that the result of their work actually contributes to the organization’s overall goals.
While Google’s findings may be true to some extent, a large number of scientific studies have caused
researchers outside of Google’s lab to shockingly disagree. Thomas Chamorro-Premuzic, a professor of business
psychology at Columbia University and author of the book “Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become
Leaders?” and psychologist Dave Winsborough are among them. They both claim that personality, in particular,
heavily affects the role of an individual within a team and is indeed a significant factor in what makes a team
successful.
Researchers found that the poorest-performing teams were 100 percent “pragmatic” (讲求实效的 ) and had
0 percent ‘relationship-building’ traits. “Too often, organizations focus merely on the functional role and hope
that good team performance somehow follows,” Chamorro-Premuzic and Winsborough co-wrote in a Harvard
Business Review article. “This is why even the most expensive professional sports teams often fail to perform
according to the individual talents of each player: There is no psychological synergy (协作). A more effective
approach focuses as much on people’s personalities as on their skills.”
32. Why does the author mention the example of “dining out”?
A. To emphasize the challenges of creating a common interest.
B. To cater for the different tastes of people from all walks of life.
C. To stress the importance of different individuals in teams.
D. To get more different people involved in building a team.
33. What might be the least deciding factor of a perfect team according to Google’s lab?
A. Dependability. B. A sense of purpose.
C. Psychological safety. D. Individual personalities.
34. According to the last paragraph, why do the most expensive professional sports teams fail to perform?
A. Because they care more about the result. B. Because they are not talented enough.
C. Because they lack relationship building. D. Because they are vague about their roles.
35. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By making basic assumptions. B. By giving a lot of detailed examples.
C. By analyzing causes and effects. D. By presenting contradictory findings.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章用很多具体实例说明了寻找到队员的共性,是团队成功的关键。
【32 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The larger the group, the more difficult it becomes. It’s a lot like dining out with a
bunch of friends. Where to go? Italian? Vegetarian? Steakhouse? Each person has their own appetite, which can
make creating a “shared-interest” extremely challenging.”可知,队伍中人数越多,就越难找到共性。就像是朋
友出去聚餐,众口难调,人越多越难确定大家都喜欢的食物。由此推知,此处举聚餐的例子来强调在团队
中创造共同利益的挑战性,故选 A。
【33 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Google found that the individual personalities in a team are not so relevant.”可知,
Google 发现团队中的个人性格并不是那么重要,结合选项,故选 D。
【34 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Researchers found that the poorest-performing teams were 100 percent “pragmatic”
(讲求实效的 ) and had 0 percent ‘relationship-building’ traits.”(研究发现表现最糟的团队,只讲求实效,一
点都不关注人际关系的创建。)和“This is why even the most expensive professional sports teams often fail to
perform according to the individual talents of each player: There is no psychological synergy (协作). ”(这就是
为什么甚至最昂贵的专业团队常常失败的原因:没有心理协同)可知,最昂贵的专业团队失败是因为,组
织者忽略了队员心理上的协作,不关注人际关系的建设。故选 C。
【35 题详解】
推理判断题。分析全文可知,作者列举了大量的实例来对文章主题进行说明,如第一段的多人共同就餐的
例子,第三段中的“Project Aristotle 亚里士多德项目”,和最后一段的只讲求实效不注重人际关系建设的团
队失败的例子。故选 B。

What makes you cry? Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after
splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces. _______36_______
When you think about it, shedding tears from your eyes can cause embarrassment or confusion. But it seems
to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset. _________37_________ However, the feeling is the
same – your cheeks puff up, your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face. Some
of us may weep a little while others might cry like a baby.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more
than men. Adam Rutherford, lead researcher, says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous
research. ________38________Are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings? The debate
continues.
One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace.___39___ Someone
might be stressed with a heavy workload. And, as therapist Joanna Cross put it, “crying is often a build-up of
frustration and undealt-with situations and it’s a bit of a final straw moment.” She describes how someone might
start weeping when they’re just asked to make a cup of tea. Actually, their stress has accumulated to the breaking
point.
But crying in the office or elsewhere can be an effective stress reliever. It can actually make you feel
better.______40______Crying your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps it’s a crying shame that more
of us, particularly men, don’t cry more often.
A. Then how do we cope with it?
B. This can be where emotions run high.
C. People reach their breaking point in different ways.
D. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing?
E. Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative feelings you’ve had.
F. What brings about this reaction differs from person to person.
G. But does this mean men don’t get as upset or emotional as women?
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. G 39. B 40. E
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍了哭是人们伤心时的正常反应,并且哭对于人们而言是有好处的。
【36 题详解】
上文提到“Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your
partner can all cause tears to roll down our face”(被电影感动,和爱人分离,与搭档分道扬镳都会导致眼泪流
下脸庞),本空承上启下,引出文章主题,所以根据下文内容,“crying in the office or elsewhere can
be an effective stress reliever. ”(在办公室或其他地方哭可能是一种有效的减压方式),可知本文主要讲哭是
所有人的反应,并且哭对人们有好处,所以本空目的在于引出此话题。故选 D。
【37 题详解】
根据上句“ it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad or upset”(哭是我们伤心难过时的自动反应),
所以本空承接上句,F 项句意“造成人们伤心难过的原因是各不相同的”,符合语境。故选 F。
【38 题详解】
根据上句“women admitted they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more than men. Adam Rutherford, lead
researcher, says that the result has been pretty much consistent with previous research.”(女性承认,她们一年哭
72 次,这平均来说比男人要多。调查者说这个结果和以前的研究结果是一致的),本空承上启下,下句“Are
they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings?”(他们对于表达自己真实的情感会更尴尬吗),所
以本空应该是讲男人哭的次数少的原因。故选 G。
【39 题详解】
上句提到“One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace”(我们经历情绪爆
发的地点之一是在工作地),本空承接上文,应该接着讲工作地对人们情绪的影响,所以 B 项句意“工作地
是情绪上涨之地”符合句意。故 B 项符合语境。故选 B。
【40 题详解】
根据上句“ It can actually make you feel better.”(哭会让你感觉更好),本空承上启下,应该接着讲哭对于人
们的好处,所以 E 项句意“哭能融化或清除你的消极情感”符合句意。故选 E。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Devi looked through the observation window at the kids below, all waiting in line to get into the pool. She
turned to her mother with a furious frown on her face. “Mom, they’re all little kids! I’m 15 already! This is
ridiculous!”
“I know, Devi,” replied her mother, “but you’re a beginner, too, and you have to start somewhere!”
Devi had never been to a swimming lesson in her life. Between schoolwork and helping on her grandfather’s
farm, she hadn’t had time for lessons. The closest swimming pool Devi had been to was the alligator pool her
mother bought her when she was five. Now that Devi was older, her mother had found a new jo b in the city, and
Devi faced a new challenge—school field trips to the local pool.
The first day that Devi went with her class to the pool, she had no idea what she was in for. What could be
so difficult about swimming? Devi confidently slipped into the water and held onto the side of the pool, expecting
to be able to touch the bottom with her feet. But when Devi let go of the side of the pool, she slipped under the
water—the whole pool was one big deep end! Devi threw her arm toward the side of the pool and grabbed the
ledge (池壁), out of breath. “I really can’t swim! Everyone’s going to laugh at me!” she thought to herself in a
panic.
On the next field trip to the pool, Devi sat on the side on a bench, paralyzed with fear. She huddled with a
towel over her shoulders, too embarrassed to try again. When she came home, her mother noticed right away that
Devi was upset. “Honey, I’ve signed you up for Angela’s swimming lessons at the local pool. Soon you’ll learn
how to swim just like everyone else,” she assured Devi, showing photos of Angela with her prize-winning
students.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2. 每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph 1
Then came the time for Devi to take her first lesson.
Paragraph 2
Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself.
【答案】Paragraph 1
Then came the time for Devi to take her first lesson. She dragged her feet to the side of the pool and sat down,
in doubt whether lessons would be helpful. Scanning around, Devi spotted her instructor across the pool, together
with the little kids who jumped into the water like fish leaping into the ocean. She watched in amazement. Envious
as Devi was, a flush of embarrassment soon crept to her cheeks when a little girl passed by, asking her not to be
scared. How embarrassing! She hung her head.
Paragraph 2
Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself. Devi was astonished to be made aware that
Angela had never learned swimming until she was 20. Greatly inspired, Devi now regained hope. She entered the
pool a second time in the company of Angela, several cheerful kids floating near to cheer her on. Devi began to feel
more at ease, her movement less stiff and her breath more even. With a grateful heart, Devi realized that she might
not be a fearless swimmer, but she would sure have fun trying.
