Steph Clemence always intended to go to college. She had good grades and considered herself college bound. But life has a tendency to throw obstacles in the way. When her father died tragically in a car accident, leaving her mother to support three daughters on a modest income, paying for college became out of the question.
Around that time, Steph tried to figure out what to do with a life that had differed so much from the plan she’d carefully laid out. The answer came one afternoon when she was cleaning her bedroom closet and found a list from the English teacher she’d had in her junior year, Dorothy Clark. One afternoon, Mrs. Clark walked into the classroom carrying a stack of papers. She instructed each students to take one. The handout was titled Mrs. Clark’s Book List. “It wasn’t homework,” the teacher announced, “but it could be a road map. Some of you might not go on to higher education, but you can continue to learn.” It would, she believed, form the equivalent of two years at a liberal arts college.
“She knew the income levels of the kids in my high school,” says Steph. “Working-class and logging families. She knew most of us would not go to college. She was right. But she knew we could continue to learn after high school. She was also right about that.” Steph studied the list. Each of those books sparked her passion to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history. That made her look for other books that weren’t on the list, hoping to deepen her knowledge. Over the years, the reading list was a constant in her life, traveling with her even on vacations.
Now Steph is 70 and she never did get to college. But she has only four books left to read from the list. She expects to complete them sometime in 2023. “Each of the books has added something to who I am and how I see the world.” she says, “I now have gained an insight to see why things happened and what it might mean.”
4. What prevented Steph going to college
A. Her bad grades.
B. The lack of financial support.
C. Her low income.
D. Her tragic accident.
5. Why did Mr. Clark create the book list
A. To prepare students for college.
B. To serve as a reading task for students.
C. To share her favorite books with students.
D. To encourage students to continue learning.
6. How does Steph feel about the book list now
A. Regretful.
B. Moved.
C. Fulfilled.
D. Determined.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A good reading habit.
B. An influential reading list.
C. An impressive English teacher.
D. A memorable experience in high school.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍一份有影响力的阅读清单。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Steph Clemence always intended to go to college. She had good grades and considered herself college bound. But life has a tendency to throw obstacles in the way. When her father died tragically in a car accident, leaving her mother to support three daughters on a modest income, paying for college became out of the question. (Steph Clemence一直打算上大学。她成绩很好，认为自己就要上大学了。但生活倾向于在路上设置障碍。当她的父亲在一场车祸中不幸去世，留下母亲靠微薄的收入养活三个女儿时，支付大学费用变得不可能。)”可知，父亲去世后，Steph Clemence家只能依靠母亲微薄的收入生活。故推知阻止Steph上大学的原因是因为缺乏经济上的支持，故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The handout was titled Mrs. Clark’s Book List. “It wasn’t homework,” the teacher announced, “but it could be a road map. Some of you might not go on to higher education, but you can continue to learn.” It would, she believed, form the equivalent of two years at a liberal arts college. (这本讲义的标题是Clark老师的书单。老师宣布：“这不是家庭作业，但它或许是一张路线图。你们中的一些人可能不会继续接受更高的教育，但你可以继续学习”。)”可知，Clark老师制作书单的目的是鼓励学生继续学习。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But she knew we could continue to learn after high school. She was also right about that.” Steph studied the list. Each of those books sparked her passion to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history. That made her look for other books that weren’t on the list, hoping to deepen her knowledge. Over the years, the reading list was a constant in her life, traveling with her even on vacations. (但她知道我们可以在高中毕业后继续学习。她说的也没错。Steph研究了这份清单。这些书中的每一本书都激发了她更多地了解历史人物、主题或历史上的时间的热情。这让她寻找其他不在清单上的书，希望增加她的知识。多年来，阅读清单一直是她生活中一直不变的东西，甚至在度假时也和她一起旅行。)”及最后一段““Each of the books has added something to who I am and how I see the world.” she says, “I now have gained an insight to see why things happened and what it might mean.” (她说：“每一本书都为我是谁以及我如何看待世界增添了一些东西。我现在有了深刻的洞察力，明白了事情为什么会发生，以及它可能意味着什么。)”可知，书单让Steph能够继续学习，激发她学习的热情，丰富她的知识。故推知Steph认为书单可以满足自己继续学习的愿望，所以书单让Steph感到满足，故选C。
【7题详解】

C
On June 23,2018,twelve young Thai boys and their assistant football coach wandered into a karst cave in northern Thailand, near the border with Myanmar. What happened next would grab the world’s attention and lead to a complex and daring international rescue operation. The 10.3-kilometer-long Tham Luang cave flooded, trapping the boys in total blackness nearly 2.5 kilometers from the cave entrance.
Thousands of people from around the globe participated in the rescue effort, including military personnel, medical experts and the rock stars of the operation — cave divers. The divers, who safely removed all of the Thai children and their coach after 18 days underground, dealt with tight spaces and low visibility in muddy water- conditions that would prove deadly: Saman Gunan, a former Thai Navy Seal, died while transporting air tanks into the cave.
While the sport of cave diving had received attention in the pop culture area prior to the rescue mission in North Thailand, there is little doubt that the brave divers at Tham Luang cave helped push the activity and its varieties of risks into global society’s minds.
The sport-often referred to as among the world’s most dangerous recreational activities-has its roots in pre-WWII England. Since then, the recreational practice of cave diving, described by Australian cave explorer Richard Harris (a participant in the Tham Luang cave rescue) as an “unusual hobby” for “the ordinary,” has spread around the world-China included.
Over 1,000 kilometers northeast of Tham Luang cave, in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, lies karst-peak-covered Du’an county-China’s little-known cave diving Mecca.
Home to thousands of kilometers of underground rivers, Du’an county offers divers spellbinding geological formations, perhaps the world’s largest collection of blind fish species and a rare variety of freshwater jellyfish.
8. What do we know about the Tham Luang cave rescue operation
A. There was no loss of life in the process. B. Rock stars took part in the rescue efforts.
C. Rescue team came from more than Thailand. D. Few people cared about it outside Thailand.
9. What contributes to people knowing more about cave diving globally
A. Its dangerous recreations. B. Its long history.
C. An expert’s description. D. The divers’ heroic deeds.
10. Why is Du’an county referred to as a cave diving Mecca
A. It is northeast of Tham Luang cave. B. There are lots of underground rivers.
C. It is hardly known to the outside world. D. It has the world’s largest geological formations.
11. What will be talked about in the following passage
A. Spectacular cave diving experiences in Du’an.
B. Diving instructions shared by Richard Harris.
C Lessons learned from this rescue operation.
D. Foods offered to tourists in Du’an.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Tham Luang洞穴救援行动以及洞穴探险的历史。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“What happened next would grab the world’s attention and lead to a complex and daring international rescue operation. The 10.3-kilometer-long Tham Luang cave flooded, trapping the boys in total blackness nearly 2.5 kilometers from the cave entrance.(接下来发生的事情将吸引全世界的注意力，并导致一场复杂而大胆的国际救援行动。这个10.3公里长的Tham Luang洞穴被水淹没了，男孩们被困在距离洞口近2.5公里的一片漆黑中)”以及第二段中“Thousands of people from around the globe participated in the rescue effort, including military personnel, medical experts and the rock stars of the operation — cave divers.(来自世界各地的数千人参与了救援工作，包括军事人员、医疗专家和这次行动的摇滚明星——洞穴潜水员)”可知，Tham Luang洞穴救援行动中，救援队来自泰国以外的国家。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“While the sport of cave diving had received attention in the pop culture area prior to the rescue mission in North Thailand, there is little doubt that the brave divers at Tham Luang cave helped push the activity and its varieties of risks into global society’s minds.(尽管在泰国北部的救援任务之前，洞穴潜水运动在流行文化领域受到了关注，但毫无疑问，在Tham Luang洞穴的勇敢潜水员帮助推动了这项活动及其各种风险进入全球社会的脑海。)”可知，是勇敢的潜水员的事情推动了洞穴潜水的发展。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Home to thousands of kilometers of underground rivers, Du’an county offers divers spellbinding geological formations, perhaps the world’s largest collection of blind fish species and a rare variety of freshwater jellyfish..(都安县拥有数千公里的地下河流，这里有令人着迷的地质构造，可能是世界上最大的盲鱼物种和罕见的淡水水母。)”可知，都安县被称为洞穴潜水圣地是因为地下河多。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Home to thousands of kilometers of underground rivers, Du’an county offers divers spellbinding geological formations, perhaps the world’s largest collection of blind fish species and a rare variety of freshwater jellyfish.(杜安县有数千公里的地下河流，为潜水者提供了迷人的地质构造，可能是世界上最大的盲鱼种类和罕见的淡水水母种类)”可推知，这篇文章接下来将讨论杜安壮观的洞穴潜水体验。故选A。
D
Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted
A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I’m not even going to seriously try and work it out.
B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.
Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving. Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem.
Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable (脆弱的) to failure. They become performance-oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.
Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.
12. What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”
A. He is performance-oriented.
B. He tends to set limits to his life.
C. He enjoys the process and focuses on the future.
D. He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others.
13. Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers
A. To reward children for their high grades. B. To emphasize the importance of intelligence.
C. To ignore the result brought by failure. D. To praise children for their engagement in the process.
14. What does “These children” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Children showing no interest in learning.
B. Children who use fixed mindset techniques.
C. Children from much more privileged backgrounds.
D. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation.
15. Why does the author write the text
A. To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset.
B. To inform readers of the importance of growth mindset.
C. To show several psychological study results.
D To point out a problem in education at the moment.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过举例“对同一个问题的不同反应”来引出主题——成长心态和固定心态。引用了心理学家们的理论和实验结果来对成长心态和固定心态进行区别，并且侧重了成长心态的重要性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.(B:啊，这有点棘手，但是我喜欢逼一下自己。即使我没有得到正确的答案，也许我会在尝试中学到一些东西。)”可知，B答案的同学会积极地面对问题，并且尝试从中学习到一些东西，这是一种积极的反应；结合第四段“Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. (斯坦福大学(Stanford University)的心理学家卡罗尔·德韦克(Carol Dweck)在她职业生涯的早期给一组10岁的孩子提出了一些对他们来说稍微太难的问题。其中一组反应积极，喜欢这项挑战。她说，他们有一种“成长心态”，专注于未来能取得的成就。)”可知，对于困难的问题能做出积极反应的孩子会享受这个过程，关注未来。所以一个人的答案接近B答案的话，那么他会享受这个过程，关注未来。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable (脆弱的) to failure. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.(德韦克教授认为，目前的教育存在问题。多年来，孩子们一直因他们的智力或天赋而受到赞扬，但这使他们很容易失败。他们变得以表现为导向，想通过取得高分来取悦他人，但他们对学习本身不感兴趣。根据Dweck的说法，解决方法是引导他们成为以掌握为导向的人(也就是说，有兴趣在某件事上做得更好)。她认为，长期不懈的努力是取得卓越成就的关键。)”可知，Dweck教授认为掌握一件事是非常重要的，并且要长期坚持不懈地努力，由此可推知，她给到父母和老师的建议是表扬孩子们在这个过程中的参与。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.(心理学家一直在测试这些理论。在美国印第安人保留地，表现不佳的学生接触了一年的成长心态技术。结果简直令人难以置信。他们在地区测试中名列前茅，击败了那些拥有更多特权背景的孩子。这些孩子以前觉得努力是愚蠢的标志，但他们逐渐把努力看成是学习的关键。)”可知，他们测试的对象是这些underperforming school children on a Native American reservation(美国印第安人保留地的表现不佳的学生)，由此可知此处的these children指的是“美国印第安人保留地的表现不佳的学生”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted (回想一下你在数学课上，老师出了一道难题。下面两种反应哪一种更接近你的反应 )”可知作者以这个问题和两种回答引出本文的话题，而最后一段“Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.(心理学家们一直在检验这些理论。在印第安人保留地，表现不佳的孩子接触了成长心态技术一年。结果简直令人难以置信。他们在地区考试中排名第一，击败了来自更多特权背景的孩子。这些孩子以前曾觉得努力是愚蠢的表现，但他们开始把努力看作是学习的关键。)”由此可知，作者写这篇文章是想要说明成长心态的重要性，让读者重视这一点。故选B。
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。
Boost your Memory
When trying to memorize new material, it’s easy to assume that the more work you put in, the better you will perform. ____16____ Just turn down the lights, sit back, and enjoy10-15 minutes of quiet rest, and you’ll find that your memory is far better than if you had attempted to use that moment more productively.
Although it’s known that we should pace our studies, new research suggests that we should aim for “minimal distraction” during these breaks. ____17____ You really need to give your brain the chance for a complete recharge with no distraction.
The memory-boosting benefits of undisturbed rest were documented in 1900. In one experiment, the researcher first asked the participants to learn a list of syllables. Following a short period, half the group was immediately given a second list to learn, while the rest were given a six-minute break before continuing. ____18____ The participants given the break remembered nearly 50 percent, compared to an average of 28 percent for the other group.
In the early 2000s, two other researchers led several follow-up studies. In healthy participants, they have found that short periods of rest can also improve our memory of places. More crucially, this advantage stays a week after the original learning task and it seems to benefit young and old people alike. ____19____
The exact mechanism is still unknown. It is now accepted that once memories are initially encoded, they pass through a period of consolidation (巩固) that bond them in long-term storage. ____20____ But now in the age of information, it seems that our brains do need a short break at times to function better.
A. Our memory is easily distracted by new information.
B. This was once thought to happen primarily during sleep.
C. We tend to avoid activities contradictory to memory tasks.
D. Yet doing nothing occasionally maybe exactly what you need.
E. So don’t check your emails, or surf the web on your smartphone.
F. When tested one hour later, both groups showed strikingly different patterns of recall.
G. They have also found similar benefits for people in the earlier stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了短暂的休息有助于提升记忆力的研究。
【16题详解】
D选项“然而偶尔什么都不做也许正是你所需要的。”与上文“When trying to memorize new material, it’s easy to assume that the more work you put in, the better you will perform. (当试图记住新材料时，人们很容易认为你投入的工作越多，你就会表现得越好)”形成转折关系，提出有时不需要花过多时间去记忆东西，引出下文“Just turn down the lights, sit back, and enjoy10-15 minutes of quiet rest, and you’ll find that your memory is far better than if you had attempted to use that moment more productively. (只要关灯，坐下来，享受10-15分钟的安静休息，你就会发现你的记忆力比你试图更有效地利用那一刻要好得多)”讲这样做对提升记忆力的好处。故选D项。
【17题详解】
由上文“Although it’s known that we should pace our studies, new research suggests that we should aim for “minimal distraction” during these breaks. (尽管众所周知，我们应该加快研究进度，但新的研究表明，我们应该在休息期间“尽量减少分心”)”和下文“You really need to give your brain the chance for a complete recharge with no distraction. (你真的需要给你的大脑一个完全充电的机会，不要分心)”可知，本段作者建议不要分心，空白处应谈论具体的减少干扰的方法，E选项“所以不要查看你的电子邮件，也不要在智能手机上上网。”切合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
由下文“The participants given the break remembered nearly 50 percent, compared to an average of 28 percent for the other group. (休息的参与者记忆力接近50%，而另一组的平均记忆力为28%)”可知，下文讲述了实验的最终结果（即休息的参与者记住了近50%，而另一组平均记住了28%），两组人的回忆结果明显不同，可知空白处应该是讲述实验的过程，F选项“一小时后进行测试时，两组人的回忆模式明显不同。”切合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
与上文“In healthy participants, they have found that short periods of rest can also improve our memory of places. (在健康的参与者中，他们发现短时间的休息也可以改善我们对地方的记忆)”讲短暂的休息对健康参与者提升记忆的好处相对比，该空应讲述短暂的休息对于其他群体的好处，凸显研究涵盖面广、具有可靠性，G选项“他们还发现，阿尔茨海默病早期患者也有类似的益处。”切合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
由上文“It is now accepted that once memories are initially encoded, they pass through a period of consolidation (巩固) that bond them in long-term storage. (现在人们普遍认为，一旦记忆最初被编码，它们就会经过一段巩固期，将它们结合在长期存储中)”和文章主要介绍短暂的休息有助于提升记忆力的研究可知，选项“this”指代上文的内容“一旦记忆最初被编码，它们就会经过一段巩固期，将它们结合在长期存储中”，这种情况会被认为发生在睡眠（休息）中，选项“once”呼应上文“now”，B选项“这种情况曾经被认为主要发生在睡眠中。”切合语境。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了中国广西柳州的一道特色美食——螺蛳粉。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因为柳州是一个到处都是螺蛳粉餐馆的城市，许多餐馆彼此相邻，你走在街上都能闻到它的味道！分析句子，句中can smell为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，you和walk之间是主动关系，故使用现在分词，作状语。故填walking。
【37题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：由于柳州气候潮湿，人们容易失去食欲，但酸辣的味道却能刺激人们的食欲。根据句意，此处表示所属关系，即表示“人们的”，故使用名词所有格形式people’s。故填people’s.
【38题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：其独特的鲜、酸、辣、辣的口感是现代人和年轻人的最爱。分析句子，设空处引导表语从句，引导词在从句中作prefer的宾语，意为“什么”，故使用what引导。故填what。

考查非谓语动词。句意：食客还可以根据自己的口味，额外添加辣椒、新鲜绿色蔬菜或大蒜。分析句子，句中can add谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处表示发出该动作的目的，故使用不定式，作状语。故填to suit。
【40题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：尽管蜗牛的中文名字中有“蜗牛”一词，但蜗牛通常不会出现在这道菜中，而是用来给汤调味的。分析句子，句中but连词表示设空处使用动词作谓语，同时，句中don’t appear表示句子使用的是一般现在时，且snails与use之间是被动关系，故使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词使用are。故填are used。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现在包装好的螺蛳粉有很多选择，人们可以很容易地在家里制作自己喜欢的螺蛳粉。分析句子，句中can prepare为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，package与Luosifen之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词packaged作定语，意为“被包装的”。故填packaged。
【42题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：有些人甚至自己做螺蛳粉火锅。此处表示“人们自己做螺蛳粉火锅”，故使用they的反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：诚然，螺蛳粉已经成为那些追求正宗美食的爱好者们必尝的一道菜。分析句子，句中dish为可数名词，设空处应该使用冠词，此处表示泛指，同时must-try首字母为辅音音素，应用a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：无论你是在柳州街头探索，还是在远方享用一碗，螺蛳粉都会给你的味蕾留下深刻印象，提供真正难忘的美食体验。分析句子，句中whether…or…为固定短语，意为“无论……还是……”，故使用连词or将前后的现在分词进行连接。故填or。

47. 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。
It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park ” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football ”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side .
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .”
【解析】
【导语】文章以考试为线索。马上要考试了，同学们都积极努力地备考，除了贪玩的Marc。一天下午，Marc邀请好友Huck去踢足球，Huck拒绝了，他要认真学习，考出好成绩，这样妈妈会送给他一辆山地自行车。而且Huck还说自己一定会比Marc考得好。这让Marc备受刺激，他决心认真准备考试，但他感觉到很困难。于是在姐姐的帮助下，Marc积极准备考试，考出了好成绩。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“她说：‘Marc，你看起来不开心。怎么了 ’”可知，本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事，以及自己遇到的困难，姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手，帮助Marc复习功课，准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下，Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。
②由第二段首句内容“考试那天，Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知，本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态，考试期间Marc的表现，以及考试成绩出来后，Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。
2.续写线索：Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试，且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。

Steph Clemence always intended to go to college. She had good grades and considered herself college bound. But life has a tendency to throw obstacles in the way. When her father died tragically in a car accident, leaving her mother to support three daughters on a modest income, paying for college became out of the question.
Around that time, Steph tried to figure out what to do with a life that had differed so much from the plan she’d carefully laid out. The answer came one afternoon when she was cleaning her bedroom closet and found a list from the English teacher she’d had in her junior year, Dorothy Clark. One afternoon, Mrs. Clark walked into the classroom carrying a stack of papers. She instructed each students to take one. The handout was titled Mrs. Clark’s Book List. “It wasn’t homework,” the teacher announced, “but it could be a road map. Some of you might not go on to higher education, but you can continue to learn.” It would, she believed, form the equivalent of two years at a liberal arts college.
“She knew the income levels of the kids in my high school,” says Steph. “Working-class and logging families. She knew most of us would not go to college. She was right. But she knew we could continue to learn after high school. She was also right about that.” Steph studied the list. Each of those books sparked her passion to learn more about the person, subject matter, or time in history. That made her look for other books that weren’t on the list, hoping to deepen her knowledge. Over the years, the reading list was a constant in her life, traveling with her even on vacations.
Now Steph is 70 and she never did get to college. But she has only four books left to read from the list. She expects to complete them sometime in 2023. “Each of the books has added something to who I am and how I see the world.” she says, “I now have gained an insight to see why things happened and what it might mean.”
4. What prevented Steph going to college

B. The lack of financial support.
C. Her low income.
D. Her tragic accident.

On June 23,2018,twelve young Thai boys and their assistant football coach wandered into a karst cave in northern Thailand, near the border with Myanmar. What happened next would grab the world’s attention and lead to a complex and daring international rescue operation. The 10.3-kilometer-long Tham Luang cave flooded, trapping the boys in total blackness nearly 2.5 kilometers from the cave entrance.
Thousands of people from around the globe participated in the rescue effort, including military personnel, medical experts and the rock stars of the operation — cave divers. The divers, who safely removed all of the Thai children and their coach after 18 days underground, dealt with tight spaces and low visibility in muddy water- conditions that would prove deadly: Saman Gunan, a former Thai Navy Seal, died while transporting air tanks into the cave.
While the sport of cave diving had received attention in the pop culture area prior to the rescue mission in North Thailand, there is little doubt that the brave divers at Tham Luang cave helped push the activity and its varieties of risks into global society’s minds.
The sport-often referred to as among the world’s most dangerous recreational activities-has its roots in pre-WWII England. Since then, the recreational practice of cave diving, described by Australian cave explorer Richard Harris (a participant in the Tham Luang cave rescue) as an “unusual hobby” for “the ordinary,” has spread around the world-China included.
Over 1,000 kilometers northeast of Tham Luang cave, in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, lies karst-peak-covered Du’an county-China’s little-known cave diving Mecca.
Home to thousands of kilometers of underground rivers, Du’an county offers divers spellbinding geological formations, perhaps the world’s largest collection of blind fish species and a rare variety of freshwater jellyfish.
8. What do we know about the Tham Luang cave rescue operation
A. There was no loss of life in the process. B. Rock stars took part in the rescue efforts.
C. Rescue team came from more than Thailand. D. Few people cared about it outside Thailand.
9. What contributes to people knowing more about cave diving globally
A. Its dangerous recreations. B. Its long history.
C. An expert’s description. D. The divers’ heroic deeds.
10. Why is Du’an county referred to as a cave diving Mecca
A. It is northeast of Tham Luang cave. B. There are lots of underground rivers.
C. It is hardly known to the outside world. D. It has the world’s largest geological formations.
11. What will be talked about in the following passage
A. Spectacular cave diving experiences in Du’an.
B. Diving instructions shared by Richard Harris.
C. Lessons learned from this rescue operation.
D. Foods offered to tourists in Du’an.
D
Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted
A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I’m not even going to seriously try and work it out.
B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.
Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving. Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem.
Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable (脆弱的) to failure. They become performance-oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.
Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.
12. What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”
A. He is performance-oriented.
B. He tends to set limits to his life.
C. He enjoys the process and focuses on the future.
D. He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others.
13. Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers
A. To reward children for their high grades. B. To emphasize the importance of intelligence.
C. To ignore the result brought by failure. D. To praise children for their engagement in the process.
14. What does “These children” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Children showing no interest in learning.
B. Children who use fixed mindset techniques.
C. Children from much more privileged backgrounds.
D. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation.
15. Why does the author write the text
A. To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset.
B. To inform readers of the importance of growth mindset.
C. To show several psychological study results.
D. To point out a problem in education at the moment.

Boost your Memory
When trying to memorize new material, it’s easy to assume that the more work you put in, the better you will perform. ____16____ Just turn down the lights, sit back, and enjoy10-15 minutes of quiet rest, and you’ll find that your memory is far better than if you had attempted to use that moment more productively.
Although it’s known that we should pace our studies, new research suggests that we should aim for “minimal distraction” during these breaks. ____17____ You really need to give your brain the chance for a complete recharge with no distraction.
The memory-boosting benefits of undisturbed rest were documented in 1900. In one experiment, the researcher first asked the participants to learn a list of syllables. Following a short period, half the group was immediately given a second list to learn, while the rest were given a six-minute break before continuing. ____18____ The participants given the break remembered nearly 50 percent, compared to an average of 28 percent for the other group.
In the early 2000s, two other researchers led several follow-up studies. In healthy participants, they have found that short periods of rest can also improve our memory of places. More crucially, this advantage stays a week after the original learning task and it seems to benefit young and old people alike. ____19____
The exact mechanism is still unknown. It is now accepted that once memories are initially encoded, they pass through a period of consolidation (巩固) that bond them in long-term storage. ____20____ But now in the age of information, it seems that our brains do need a short break at times to function better.
A. Our memory is easily distracted by new information.
B. This was once thought to happen primarily during sleep.
C. We tend to avoid activities contradictory to memory tasks.
D. Yet doing nothing occasionally maybe exactly what you need.
E. So don’t check your emails, or surf the web on your smartphone.
F. When tested one hour later, both groups showed strikingly different patterns of recall.
G. They have also found similar benefits for people in the earlier stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

47. 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。
It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park ” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football ”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong ” she said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence.
