I am sitting at the table in my favorite Boston bookstore-café, laptop open, writing. Ten minutes ago I orderedcoffee. The server—a young, dark-haired woman with a broad smileand glasses—stopped andquietly said, “I just want to tell you how much your TED talk meant to me, you helped me find out what I really wanted to do with my life—go to medical school—and then youhelpedme do what I needed to do to get there. Thank you.”
Tears in my eyes, I asked, “What’s your name ”
“Fetaine,” she said. Then we talked for the next ten minutes about Fetaine’s challenges in the past and new-found excitement about her future.
Everyone who communicates with me is special and memorable, but this kind of communication happens far more often than I’d ever have expected: a stranger warmly greets me, shares a personal story about how they successfully dealt with difficulties, and then simply thanks me for my part in it. They are women and men, old and young, poor and wealthy. But something connects them: all have felt powerless in the face of great pressure and anxiety(焦虑), and all discovered a quite simple way to free themselves from that feeling of powerlessness.
For most writers, the book comes first, then the responses. For me, it was the other way around. First, I performed experiments that led to a talk I gave at the TEDGlobal conference in 2012. In that talk, I discussed some interesting findings about how we can quickly increase our confidence and decrease( 减轻) our anxiety in challenging situations. I also shared my own troubles and how I learned to become more confident. Soon after the twenty-one-minute video of the talk was posted on the Internet, I began hearing from people who had seen it.
Of course, watching my talk didn’t magically give Fetaine the knowledge she needed to do well on Medical College Admission Test. But it may have helped her get out of the fear that could have prevented her from expressing the things she knew.
What happened in the Boston bookstore-café
The writer waited ten minutes for her coffee.
The writer came across a friend of hers.
A waitress expressed her thanks to the writer.
A waitress encouraged the writer to give a TED talk.
What do those people who communicate with the writer have in common
They once faced problems and felt helpless.
They shared personal stories about strangers.
They were famous but under great pressure.
They were afraid to communicate with others.
What may be the theme of the writer’s talk in 2012
A. How to increase confidence. B. How to perform meaningful experiments.
C. How to overcome anxiety in a talk. D. How to find interesting things in life.
How did the writer influence Fetaine in the writer’s eyes
She gave Fetaine power to look to the future.
She helped Fetaine with her knowledge.
She advised Fetaine to go to medical school.
She helped Fetaine to get a good job.
C
Plastic is low-cost and long-lasting. It is not easily degraded(降解) because natural degradation processes can’t deal with its chemical components( 成 分 ). It takes in other ocean-present harmful substances. These chemical and dangerous components are gradually got into the atmosphere with additives such as color, which turns out to be really harmful when the plastic breaks down.
The design and development of new plastic products was sped up after World War II. Life without plastic seemed impossible in the modern age. But even though plastic was quite convenient, the dark side of it was seen as people began to enjoy the throw-away community. Many plastic products, such as plastic bags, have a lifetime of a few minutes to hours. However, they’ll stay in the environment for hundreds of years. We are destroying the very world that nurtured us.
Just 9% of plastic has been recycled and 12% burnt after production rosein the 1950s, which leave s about
79% of the 8.3 billion tons produced sitting in landfills(垃圾填埋场) or damaging our fields, oceans, and waterways. And each year the plastic ends up as contaminants. So to beat plastic pollution, we need to work together.
While plastic burning reduces the amount of waste dumped into oceans and lands, harmful gases are still produced, which also leads to greenhouse gases. However, if we make a firm decision and use modern waste management methods, we will be able to create a safe and healthy world. It is high time that we as responsible global citizens, took on the duty of protecting our environment and made great effort in saving our mother earth, instead of just leaving everything to our government. So, ladies and gentlemen, let’s make a promise to successfully deal with plastic waste and protect our world from all possible risks.
What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The harm of plastic. B. The convenience of plastic.
C. The protection of plastic. D. The use of plastic.
Which word can best describe the writer’s feeling in Paragraph 2
A. Happy. B. Worried. C. Excited. D. Relaxed.
What does the underlined word “contaminants” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Things that cause pollution. B. Things that produce plastic.
C. Things that cost money. D. Things that help people.
From which is the text most probably taken
A. A short story. B. A speech. C. A newspaper. D. A notice.
D
All languages change over time. New vocabulary is often required for the latest inventions or ideas. But a language can also change for reasons that are not clear.
Language changes whenever speakers communicate with each other. People from different places clearly speak differently, but even within the same small community, people speak differently depending on their age, origin, and social and educational background. When we communicate with these different speakers, in different situations, we hear new words and expressions, and can make them a part of our own speech. Even if your family has lived in the same area for generations, you can probably see a number of differences between the language you use and the way your grandparents speak. When enough time has passed, the influence of these changes becomes clearer.
During the 18th century, Jonathan Swift, the Irish writer, and many other people felt the English language was in serious decline (衰落) and that a national organization — like those in France and Italy — should be created to save the language. Swift once wrote that we should find a way to stop our language from changing. Even today, we hear people complaining about a lack of “standards (标准)” in spoken and written English. New words and expressions, or changes in grammar, are often considered bad.
More experts believe that change in language is unavoidable. Change is a way of keeping a language alive and useful and gives speakers different ways of saying things with extremely small differences of
meaning and ways of expressing completely new ideas. The organizations set up in France and Italy have had little success in reducing the amount of change in French or Italian.
In 1747, Samuel Johnson wrote about his desire to write a dictionary that would fix the pronunciation of English and keep it pure (纯正的). But when he completed the dictionary ten years later, he admitted in his introduction that fixing a language was impossible. Like it or not, language is always changing and English will go on doing so in many creative and — to some people — annoying ways.
What can we learn from the second paragraph
Some people learn to speak better than others.
The youth should learn from their grandparents.
Language change is greatly influenced by people.
Language changes little if people stay in the same place.
33 What does Jonathan Swift think of language change
A. He thinks it is hopeful. B. He thinks it is unclear.
C. He agrees on the change. D. He doesn’t agree on the change.
Why did Samuel Johnson decide to write a dictionary
A. To create some new words. B. To include some foreign words.
C. To keep English pure from changes. D. To record the changes in English.
What would be the best title for the text
A. Why does language change B. Written English needs standards.
C. Does language change influence society D. How to protect the language.
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you have clothes in your wardrobe ( 衣 柜 ) that you never wear Do you keep things in your cupboards that you never use Do you have books on your shelves that you never open And what about the mess on the floor _ _36 _ If the answer to these questions is yes, then you’re not alone. Most of us
have too much stuff.
People with untidy, cluttered ( 杂 乱 的 ) rooms have untidy minds. ____37 This makes them
unhappy. There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change.
Now, imagine this bedroom: a white floor, a bed, a wardrobe and a desk and chair. That’s all. It looks calm and relaxing. This is the minimalist style. Minimalists believe that they don’t have to own a lot of possessions (物品) to be happy. ____38____
You are probably asking at this point “Do I have to get rid of all my favourite things ” ____39 A
minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal possessions like photos and books are
comforting and help us to feel at home. __ 40 Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something
for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort out all the stuff in your room. After decluttering, you’ll have more space in your wardrobe and cupboards. No more “You must tidy your room!” from your parents! Your room will look more spacious (宽敞的) and you’ll feel free!
Of course the answer is that you don’t.
Actually, they enjoy their messy home.
But occasional tidying isn’t a bad idea.
They try to live with only essential things.
Why do you keep so much stuff in your room
Is it difficult to find things when you need them
They can feel stressed and they find it difficult to relax.

77. 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。
I couldn’t forget the way I was frozen in front of the class today. My teacher, Mr. Liu had divided the class into groups to do speeches. Today was my turn. However, my hands shook so badly that I couldn’t read my notes. My voice became softer even to silence. Mr. Liu kindly ended my part of speech even though I clearly didn’t finish. He also asked me to stay after class for a moment.
“Betty, I know you areshy, but you worked so hard onthis project. I’d hate to see you give up onyourself.” Mr. Liu said, “If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find courage ” I nodded, grateful for the chance. I went as quickly as I could to my next class, keeping my head down and hoping the school day would end soon.
When I reached home that afternoon, I could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows.
Mum was baking(烘焙). She studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Betty ”
Tears shone in my eyes. I told her the whole story. Mum was silent for a moment with her hands busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything but you can’t talk to your class ” Mum asked. She set the time right and then said, “Let me show you something.”
I followed her to the bedroom. There she showed me a book filled with pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon(丝带) that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.
“I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy at first—not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my tears. You just need to find your courage.”
注意：
续写词数应为 80 左右;
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing Mum’s words, I stared at the valuable blue ribbon, lost in thought.
