B
For years, I rejected this part of myself, until I realized what I was missing.
I used to be proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present, all southern. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. In that awkward stage between teenager and adult, my accent was a symbol of everything I hated about my life in the rural South.
The process of getting rid of my accent began in high school with Gilmore Girls. After each episode, I’d stand before a mirror, practicing the characters’ lines in an effort to speak like a “normal” white upper-middle-class girl. Eventually, I was successful at breaking down my tongue and rebuilding it. Every time I was asked where I was from, I would say “near Memphis” or make an ambiguous statement about my country background.
Now I’m living in a big city with a respectable job downtown. Every step I walk from the train station to the office seems victorious. However, I’ve been pretending and I’m fed up with it. Occasionally my old self escapes from my lips when encouraged by an extra glass of whiskey, but I unconsciously go back to the safety of the unaccented minutes later, making me feel as if I’m a fraud — a girl who forgets where she comes from. Then gradually I’ve become kind of homesick that leads me to put on the old Highwomen record and dance around, singing with all the accent s I’ve got left.
My grandmother used to tell me, “Girl, don’t you forget where you come from ” Memories are fading by time but this one has remained impressed on my mind. So, I decide to move back. I’m still searching for what it means to be southern, but now I’m doing it with all the “y’alls”, and “ain’ts” I’ve kept back for so long.
4. Why did the author decide to get rid of her southern accent
A. Because she hated the southern rural life. B. Because it reflected her shameful past.
C. Because it made her laughed at by others. D. Because she was misled by prejudice.
5. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. The author learnt the language well. B. The author managed to rebuild her accent.
C. The author made a white upper class girl. D. The author finally succeeded in big cities.
6. What contributed most to the author’s return to her southern accent
A Her grandmother’s words. B. Her homesickness.
C. Her boredom of pretending. D. Her over-drinking.
7. What message does the passage want to convey
A. Everyone has his dark secret. B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. There’s always a silver lining in the cloud. D. You should never compromise who you are.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的南方口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，决定找回自己的南方口音。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. In that awkward stage between teenager and adult, my accent was a symbol of everything I hated about my life in the rural South.(在成长过程中，我开始意识到，在我们的地区之外，南方人经常被视为没有文化、没有受过教育、无知和心胸狭窄。在青少年和成年人之间的尴尬阶段，我的口音象征着我讨厌的南方农村生活的一切)”可知，作者被别人对南方人的偏见误导，决定改掉自己的南方口音，故选D。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The process of getting rid of my accent began in high school with Gilmore Girls. After each episode, I’d stand before a mirror, practicing the characters’ lines in an effort to speak like a ‘normal’ white upper-middle-class girl. Eventually, I was successful at breaking down my tongue and rebuilding it.(摆脱口音的过程始于高中的Gilmore Girls。每集结束后，我都会站在镜子前，练习角色的台词，努力让自己说话像一个‘正常’的白人中上层女孩。最终，我成功地打破了我的说话方式并重建了起来)”可知，本段主要讲述作者花费很大力气去模仿Gilmore Girls剧中角色的台词，最后成功改掉了自己的南方口音，故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, I’ve been pretending and I’m fed up with it.(然而，我一直在假装，我受够了)”可知，作者受够了一直假装，决定找回自己的南方口音，故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合倒数第二段中“but I unconsciously go back to the safety of the unaccented minutes later, making me feel as if I’m a fraud — a girl who forgets where she comes from.(这让我觉得自己好像是个骗子——一个忘记自己来自哪里的女孩)”和最后一段中“My grandmother used to tell me, ‘Girl, don’t you forget where you come from ’ Memories are fading by time but this one has remained impressed on my mind. So, I decide to move back.(我的祖母曾经对我说：‘女孩，你不要忘记你来自哪里吗？’记忆随着时间的流逝而褪色，但这一件事却深深地印在我的脑海里。所以，我决定回来)”可知，文章主要讲述作者因为别人的偏见以及追求更好的生活改变自己的口音，但后来才意识到这样做抹杀了自己身份的一部分，决定找回自己的南方口音，所以本文想要传达的是“永远不要妥协，做真实的自己”，故选D。
C
Recently, a coalition of business and advocacy groups from around Washington gathered to kick off a campaign to enact a carbon pricing program in the capital.Known as the Climate and Community Reinvestment Act of D.C., the plan would place a new tax on all fossil fuels bought or sold, with the hope of ultimately discouraging the use of these polluting energy sources.
The big-picture goal of this campaign is admirable: to address the ever-deepening crisis of climate chaos by dissuading the continued use of coal,oil and gas. But unfortunately, the approach —one based in a world of financial markets, trading schemes and encouraging new public revenue streams —is inherently flawed. Simply put, carbon pricing is a false solution to climate change and a distraction from real, effective climate solutions we must urgently pursue.
To date, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that carbon taxes lower greenhouse gas emissions. In fact,the opposite is true. Recently Food & Water Watch reviewed the British Columbia carbon tax program, often cited by advocates as an example of success. From 2009(the first full year of the tax)to 2014, emissions from taxed sources grew by 4.3 percent.And in the seven years after the carbon tax took effect, total gasoline sales increased by 7.37 percent.
Supporters of such plans like to focus on a deceivingly (貌似地) simple notion that increasing the price of a consumer good will automatically reduce its use. But this just isn’t the case when it comes to the purchase of necessities. People must heat their homes in winter, and they must commute to work, regardless of the cost.
Those backing the D.C.carbon pricing plan like to note that revenue from the new tax would go toward investment in clean energy sources. But only 20 percent of the generated funds would be allocated in this manner. The rest would be shared out in tax breaks for businesses and rebates (退还款) for consumers, another factor undercutting the belief that increased costs up front would change consumer behavior in the long run.
Regardless of what many well-inattention activists and community leaders want to believe, there is no convenient, market-friendly solution to our terrible climate condition. The latest science indicates that in order to avoid the worst effects of deepening climate chaos, society must transition completely to clean, renewable energy by 2035.
8. What did Food &.Water Watch find out about carbon tax program
A. Carbon taxes could reduce greenhouse gas emissions
B. Carbon emissions grew at a lower rate than gasoline sales.
C. Carbon taxes program was generally regarded as a success.
D. Carbon tax program made little difference to carbon emission.
9. What is the author’s argument against carbon taxes
A. Funds gained will benefit clean energy sources.
B. Consumers will use less of a good when its price increases.
C. Increased cost will have little effect on the use of necessities.
D. Consumers’ reliance on fossil fuels will decrease dramatically.
10. What does the underlined word “undercutting”in paragraph 5 mean .
A. ruining
B. weakening
C. highlighting
D. securing
11. The most suitable title for this text would be ______.
A. The faulty Carbon Tax.
B. The Climate Change Myth.
C. The Call for Clean Energy.
D. The Causes of Carbon Tax.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了“烟尘排放税会降低污染” 的观点是错误的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“To date, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that carbon taxes lower greenhouse gas emissions. In fact,the opposite is true. Recently Food & Water Watch reviewed the British Columbia carbon tax program, often cited by advocates as an example of success. From 2009(the first full year of the tax)to 2014, emissions from taxed sources grew by 4.3 percent.And in the seven years after the carbon tax took effect, total gasoline sales increased by 7.37 percent.(迄今为止，没有足够的证据表明碳税可以降低温室气体排放。事实上，恰恰相反。最近，食品与水观察》组织审查了不列颠哥伦比亚省的碳税计划，该计划经常被倡导者引用为成功的例子。从2009年（税收的第一个全年）到2014年，税收来源的排放量增长了4.3%。在碳税生效后的七年里，汽油总销量增长了7.37%)” 可知，《食品与水观察》发现，对碳排放征税并不能减少污染。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“But this just isn’t the case when it comes to the purchase of necessities. People must heat their homes in winter, and they must commute to work, regardless of the cost.(但在购买生活必需品时，情况就不一样了。冬天，人们必须给自己的房子供暖，他们必须不顾成本通勤上班。)”和第五段中“The rest would be shared out in tax breaks for businesses and rebates(退还款)for consumers, another factor undercutting the belief that increased costs up front would change consumer behavior in the long run.(剩下的部分将通过对企业的减税和对消费者的退税来分配，另一个因素削弱了这样一种观念，即预先增加的成本将从长远来看改变消费者的行为。)”可知，“增加的成本几乎不会改变必需品的使用。”的说法是正确的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第五段“Those backing the D.C.carbon pricing plan like to note that revenue from the new tax would go toward investment in clean energy sources. But only 20 percent of the generated funds would be allocated in this manner. The rest would be shared out in tax breaks for businesses and rebates(退还款)for consumers, another factor undercutting the belief that increased costs up front would change consumer behavior in the long run.(那些支持D.C.碳定价计划的人希望注意到，新税的收入将用于清洁能源投资。但只有20%的资金会以这种方式分配。其余部分将通过企业税收减免和消费者退税来分担，这是另一个 人们认为增加前期成本将从长远来看改变消费者行为的因素。)”可知，只有很少资金用于清洁能源投资，所以这“削弱”人们认为这种方法有效的看法。所以猜测undercutting表“削弱”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中 “Simply put, carbon pricing is a false solution to climate change and a distraction from real, effective climate solutions we must urgently pursue.(，简单地说，碳定价是一个错误的气候变化解决方案，分散了我们对现实的、有效的气候解决方案的注意力，我们必须迫切地追求这些解决方案。)” 以及上下文可知，这篇文章论述的是关于“烟尘排放税会降低污染”的错误观点。所以A项The faulty Carbon Tax.(错误的碳税。)符合文意。故选A项。
D
In the 1970s, a psychologist named J.P.Guilford dared to conduct a famous study of creativity—the nine-dot puzzle. He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page.
All the participants in his study limited the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the illusory confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots. The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford to jump to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box.
The nine-dot puzzle and the phrase “thinking outside the box” became metaphors for creativity. Speakers, trainers, training program developers, organizational consultants, and university professors all had much to say about the vast benefits of outside-the-box thinking. Management consultants even used this puzzle when making sales talk to prospective clients. Because the solution is deceptively simple, clients tended to admit they should have thought of it themselves. Because they hadn’t, they were obviously not as creative or smart as they had previously thought and needed to call in creative experts.
The smash hit carried the world before one until two different research teams-Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joscph Alba with Robert Weinberg—ran another experiment, using the same puzzle but a different research procedure and bothered to check the facts.
Both teams followed the same way of dividing participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told that the solution required the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box bordering the dots. Most people assume that 60 percent to 90 percent of the group given the clue would solve the puzzle easily. However only 25 percent did. In statistical terms, this 5 percent improvement over the subjects of Guilford’s original study is insignificant.
Solving this problem requires people to literally think outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to do so. That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely circulated—and therefore, much more dangerous—metaphor that out-of-the-box thinking stimulates receptivity. After all, with one simple experiment, researchers had proven that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a myth.
12. What did the nine-dot puzzle study focus on
A. Visual perception
B. Practical experience
C. Thinking patterns
D. Theoretical knowledge.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. The clients were less creative than they had been.
B. The nine-dot puzzle was beneficial in solving various problems.
C. Outside-the-box thinking enjoyed strong popularity and appeal.
D. Management consultants considered themselves creative experts.
14. Which of the following best describes the follow-up experiment
A. Revealing
B. Mysterious.
C. Misleading.
D. Groundless.
15. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Nine-Dot Puzzle:A Magic Test
B. Solving Puzzle:A Key To Creativity
C. Creative Thinking:We Fell For The Trap
D. Thinking Outside the Box:A Misguided Idea
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了一项关于创造力的研究实验。研究者发现大多数人在解决这个谜题时受到了边界的限制，只有少数人能够跳出思维定势，将线延伸到空白区域。这一结果导致人们普遍认为创造力需要跳出思维定势，但后来的实验表明这种观点并不准确。因此，作者认为“跳出思维定势”这一隐喻对于创造力的刺激作用是一个误区。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page.(他要求研究对象只用四条直线连接所有九个点，而不用把铅笔从纸上抬起来)”和第二段的“All the participants in his study limited the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the illusory confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots. (在他的研究中，所有参与者都将可能的解决方案限制在虚方范围内。只有20%的人成功地打破了虚幻的束缚，并在圆点周围的空白中继续他们的线条)”可知，九点拼图的研究重点是思维模式，故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The nine-dot puzzle and the phrase“thinking outside the box”became metaphors for creativity. Speakers, trainers, training program developers, organizational consultants, and university professors all had much to say about the vast benefits of outside-the-box thinking.(九点连线问题和“跳出思维定势”这个短语成为了创造力的象征。演讲者、培训师、培训项目开发者、组织顾问和大学教授都对跳出思维定势的好处发表了很多看法。)”可推理出，跳出思维定势具有很强的流行性和吸引力，故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely circulated—and therefore, much more dangerous—metaphor that out-of-the-box thinking stimulates receptivity. After all, with one simple experiment, researchers had proven that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a myth.(他们的表现也没有得到改善。这一建议毫无用处，这应该有效地扼杀了广泛流传的、因此也更危险的比喻，即跳出思维定势的思维激发了接受性。毕竟，通过一个简单的实验，研究人员已经证明，跳出思维定势和创造力之间的概念联系是一个神话)”可推理出第二个实验有启示作用，即它揭示了“跳出思维定式”没有多大用处。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the 1970s, a psychologist named J.P.Guilford dared to conduct a famous study of creativity—the nine-dot puzzle.( 20世纪70年代，一位名叫J.P.Guilford的心理学家敢于进行一项著名的创造力研究——九点拼图。)”、第二段“The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford to jump to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box.( 事实上，80%的参与者实际上被正方形的边界蒙蔽了双眼，这让吉尔福德得出了一个笼统的结论:创造力需要你跳出框框)”、第三段“The nine-dot puzzle and the phrase“thinking outside the box”became metaphors for creativity. Speakers, trainers, training program developers, organizational consultants, and university professors all had much to say about the vast benefits of outside-the-box thinking.(九点连线问题和“跳出思维定势”这个短语成为了创造力的象征。演讲者、培训师、培训项目开发者、组织顾问和大学教授都对跳出思维定势的好处发表了很多看法。)”以及最后一段“That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely circulated—and therefore, much more dangerous—metaphor that out-of-the-box thinking stimulates receptivity.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are so many definitions of wisdom. Simply put, wisdom is a mix of insight, commonsense, experience, and results to sound judgement. It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.___16___It shines our way through darkness.
Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf, Yoda, and Albus Dumbledore. Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.___17___And how
Embarking on new experiences is an avenue for acquiring wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In fact, there are always several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.___18___It is not emotion-based either. Instead, train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. Open- mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights.
What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement ___19___
The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why.
Rome was not built in a day.___20___It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges.
A. Individuals need to bring it out.
B. It isn’t something you are born with.
C. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
D. Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination.
E. A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors.
F. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions.
G. In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述智慧是我们前进道路上的指路明灯，并且探讨了如何才能获取智慧。
【16题详解】
根据上文“It is not merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with chaos, controversy, and conflicts.（在一个充满混乱、争议和冲突的世界里，它不仅是一种可取的品质，而且是绝对必要的。）”和下文“It shines our way through darkness.（它照亮我们穿越黑暗的道路。）”可知，智慧可以为我们的世界导航，照亮前方的道路，所以，空处应该是将智慧比作灯塔。G项“In order to navigate in it, wisdom becomes our guiding light.（为了在其中航行，智慧成为我们的指路明灯。）”承上启下，符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
上文“Although these characters have given every one of us tons of inspiration, wisdom actually lies within ourselves.（虽然这些角色给了我们每个人无数的灵感，但智慧其实在于我们自己。）”和下文“And how （那怎么做呢？）” 说明虽然童话故事和魔幻电影里的角色让我们感受到智慧，但获取和运用智慧在于我们自己。空处应该进一步引出我们和智慧的关系。A项“Individuals need to bring it out.（个人需要把它带出来。）”承上启下，其中it指代前文提到的wisdom，且引出下文“个人怎样将智慧带出来”的内容。故选A项。
【18题详解】
上文“To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views.（为了确定真相，你需要接受不同的观点。）”说明应该接受不同的观点。F项“Never base your perspective on the most popular opinions.（永远不要把你的观点建立在最流行的观点上。）”承接上文，说明不应该只追随最流行的观点，并且和下文“It is not emotion-based either.（它也不是基于情感的。）”相衔接，符合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
上文“What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement （如果你渴望个人成长和进步呢 ）”提出假设，空处应该会对假设做出解答或说明。E项“A shortcut to do that is to have wise people as your tutors.（要做到这一点，一个捷径就是找有智慧的人做你的导师。）”对上文的问题给出了回答，下文“The more time you spend with them, the more transfer of knowledge there will be.（你和他们相处的时间越长，学到的知识就越多。）”中的them呼应wise people。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Rome was not built in a day.（罗马不是一天建成的。）”和下文“It is important to acknowledge that it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s challenges.（重要的是要认识到，当你面对生活的挑战时，你需要一段时间的生活和不断的努力来获得成熟的智慧。）”可知，此段讲获取智慧不是一蹴而就的，需要不断努力。D项“Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination.（记住，发展智慧是无止境的。）”承上启下，和前文结构一致，形成对比，引出下文。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍中国即将到来的龙年春节联欢晚会的吉祥物“龙辰辰”于近日发布亮相，文章介绍了吉祥物的特征、创作灵感以及人们对其不同的评价。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：龙辰辰，中国即将到来的春节联欢晚会的吉祥物近日发布，许多设计细节展示了中国文化元素的美学。分析句子可知，此空应填谓语动词，the mascot与release为被动关系，再由时间状语recently可知，这里时态可用一般过去时或者现在完成时，the mascot作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填was released/has been released。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了庆祝2024年，“龙辰辰”被设计成一条可爱而活泼的龙，颜色为橙色和红色，还有一双娃娃眼。由句意可知，此空应填不定式作目的状语，设空处置于句首，首字母应大写。故填To celebrate。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：这条看起来很可爱的龙的灵感来源于中国的考古发现。分析句子可知，此空应填副词作状语，修饰后面形容词cute-looking。故填seemingly。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它鼻子的设计灵感来自在二里头遗址发现的一件龙形玉器，二里头遗址是中国中部河南省洛阳市的一个主要遗址，见证了夏商王朝的兴衰。分析句子可知，此空后major site为同位语，意为“一个主要遗址”，表泛指，应用不定冠词，且空后major为辅音音素开始的单词。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：其肩部的火形图案的灵感来源于春秋时期的一件云纹青铜作品，当时出现了多种材料，社会正在发生变化。分析句子可知，此空考查非限制性定语从句，先行词为the Spring and Autumn Period，在从句中作时间状语从句，所以应用关系副词when。故填when。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管这个吉祥物获得了很多称赞，但也引发了批评。分析句子可知，receiving many likes与后文为转折关系，所以此空应填介词despite，表“尽管”，设空处置于句首，首字母应大写。故填Despite。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：CMG，一家设计工作室承认它有一些“缺陷”，称它是由设计师“一笔接一笔”创作的，“关于龙的所有细节，包括图案、颜色和面部，都经过了设计师的多次修改。”分析句子可知，此空应填非谓语动词，CMG, a design studio与动词admit之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填Admitting。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：除了这样的口头解释，CMG还在新浪微博上发布了一段设计团队制作吉祥物的短视频。分析句子可知，形容词verbal后应填名词，作Along with宾语，explanation表“解释”，可为可数名词或者不可数名词，所以此空可用可数名词复数形式或者不可数名词形式。故填explanation(s)。
【44题详解】

【45题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：无论是人工智能还是人类创造的，我认为吉祥物都成功地传递了龙的精神。分析句子可知，这里考查让步状语从句，whether...or...表“无论……还是……”，符合句意，设空处置于句首，首字母大写。故填Whether。

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。
When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of all the cheers we received from our classmates and the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork and cooperation.
During one of our training sessions, our school team was divided into two to have a match against each other. The inter-school competition was coming up and none of us wanted to miss our chance of getting that gold trophy(奖品). “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, shouted. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. Since John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone, not even his teammates, take it.
“Pass the ball to me, John!” I shouted. I was in a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop(篮筺). To my shock, John made a rude face at me. I made an attempt to grab the ball from him. When I got my hands on the ball, it became a tug-of-war(激烈竞争) between John and me. Coach Leong shook his head and exploded like an active volcano. “Children! Is this the type of behavior that I should be seeing The match is in two weeks! Do you even know the importance of teamwork ” Coach Leong gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news to tell us.
I was right.
Coach Leong explained that he would be retiring after the match. “I hope you can show me your teamwork and cooperate with one another in this match before I retire.” I choked on my tears. My heart sank. We were giving Coach Leong such a tough time, when all he wanted was for us to show teamwork in the match. After that day, my teammates and I were determined to do our best and work as a team.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Para. 1
On the day of the match, we stood face-to-face with our opponents, the team from River Primary School.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2
John did a perfect overhead throw and I caught the ball in mid-air.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】On the day of the match, we stood face-to-face with our opponents, the team from River Primary School. Once again, Coach Leong reminded us to work as a team. The referee blew the whistle and flung the basketball into the air. I knew I had to give my team a head start, so I leaped up in the air to grab the ball. "John, catch!" I yelled at the top of my voice. John was short but he could run at lightning speed, and I think the other team assumed he was the last person I would pass the ball to. Before the opposing team could reach John, he had already shot the ball into the basketball hoop. Our team cheered with joy, and I punched the air twice with my fist.
John did a perfect overhead throw, and I caught the ball in mid-air. As the entire opposing team charged towards me, I kept my calm even though I was surrounded. I threw the ball over their heads. It flew through the air like a missile into the hands of Eric, who was standing right behind our opponents, next to the basketball hoop. Eric dunked the ball in. We won the match 5-0. Finally, we managed to work as a team and Coach Leong was very satisfied. Each of us received a trophy for our amazing efforts. As I recalled the match, I smiled as I looked at the trophy. I realized that the most important thing was not the trophy but the value of teamwork that I had learnt from that match.

I used to be proud of my southern origin. My own voice reflected my family’s past and present, all southern. While growing up, I began to realize outside of our region, southerners were often dismissed as uncultured and uneducated, ignorant and narrow-minded. In that awkward stage between teenager and adult, my accent was a symbol of everything I hated about my life in the rural South.
The process of getting rid of my accent began in high school with Gilmore Girls. After each episode, I’d stand before a mirror, practicing the characters’ lines in an effort to speak like a “normal” white upper-middle-class girl. Eventually, I was successful at breaking down my tongue and rebuilding it. Every time I was asked where I was from, I would say “near Memphis” or make an ambiguous statement about my country background.
Now I’m living in a big city with a respectable job downtown. Every step I walk from the train station to the office seems victorious. However, I’ve been pretending and I’m fed up with it. Occasionally my old self escapes from my lips when encouraged by an extra glass of whiskey, but I unconsciously go back to the safety of the unaccented minutes later, making me feel as if I’m a fraud — a girl who forgets where she comes from. Then gradually I’ve become kind of homesick that leads me to put on the old Highwomen record and dance around, singing with all the accent s I’ve got left.
My grandmother used to tell me, “Girl, don’t you forget where you come from ” Memories are fading by time but this one has remained impressed on my mind. So, I decide to move back. I’m still searching for what it means to be southern, but now I’m doing it with all the “y’alls”, and “ain’ts” I’ve kept back for so long.

Recently, a coalition of business and advocacy groups from around Washington gathered to kick off a campaign to enact a carbon pricing program in the capital.Known as the Climate and Community Reinvestment Act of D.C., the plan would place a new tax on all fossil fuels bought or sold, with the hope of ultimately discouraging the use of these polluting energy sources.
The big-picture goal of this campaign is admirable: to address the ever-deepening crisis of climate chaos by dissuading the continued use of coal,oil and gas. But unfortunately, the approach —one based in a world of financial markets, trading schemes and encouraging new public revenue streams —is inherently flawed. Simply put, carbon pricing is a false solution to climate change and a distraction from real, effective climate solutions we must urgently pursue.
To date, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that carbon taxes lower greenhouse gas emissions. In fact,the opposite is true. Recently Food & Water Watch reviewed the British Columbia carbon tax program, often cited by advocates as an example of success. From 2009(the first full year of the tax)to 2014, emissions from taxed sources grew by 4.3 percent.And in the seven years after the carbon tax took effect, total gasoline sales increased by 7.37 percent.
Supporters of such plans like to focus on a deceivingly (貌似地) simple notion that increasing the price of a consumer good will automatically reduce its use. But this just isn’t the case when it comes to the purchase of necessities. People must heat their homes in winter, and they must commute to work, regardless of the cost.
Those backing the D.C.carbon pricing plan like to note that revenue from the new tax would go toward investment in clean energy sources. But only 20 percent of the generated funds would be allocated in this manner. The rest would be shared out in tax breaks for businesses and rebates (退还款) for consumers, another factor undercutting the belief that increased costs up front would change consumer behavior in the long run.
Regardless of what many well-inattention activists and community leaders want to believe, there is no convenient, market-friendly solution to our terrible climate condition. The latest science indicates that in order to avoid the worst effects of deepening climate chaos, society must transition completely to clean, renewable energy by 2035.
8. What did Food &.Water Watch find out about carbon tax program
A. Carbon taxes could reduce greenhouse gas emissions
B. Carbon emissions grew at a lower rate than gasoline sales.
C. Carbon taxes program was generally regarded as a success.
D. Carbon tax program made little difference to carbon emission.
9. What is the author’s argument against carbon taxes
A. Funds gained will benefit clean energy sources.
B. Consumers will use less of a good when its price increases.
C. Increased cost will have little effect on the use of necessities.
D. Consumers’ reliance on fossil fuels will decrease dramatically.
10. What does the underlined word “undercutting”in paragraph 5 mean .
A. ruining
B. weakening
C. highlighting
D. securing
11. The most suitable title for this text would be ______.
A. The faulty Carbon Tax.
B. The Climate Change Myth.
C The Call for Clean Energy.
D. The Causes of Carbon Tax.

In the 1970s, a psychologist named J.P.Guilford dared to conduct a famous study of creativity—the nine-dot puzzle. He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page.
All the participants in his study limited the possible solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the illusory confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots. The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford to jump to the sweeping conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box.
The nine-dot puzzle and the phrase “thinking outside the box” became metaphors for creativity. Speakers, trainers, training program developers, organizational consultants, and university professors all had much to say about the vast benefits of outside-the-box thinking. Management consultants even used this puzzle when making sales talk to prospective clients. Because the solution is deceptively simple, clients tended to admit they should have thought of it themselves. Because they hadn’t, they were obviously not as creative or smart as they had previously thought and needed to call in creative experts.
The smash hit carried the world before one until two different research teams-Clarke Burnham with Kenneth Davis, and Joscph Alba with Robert Weinberg—ran another experiment, using the same puzzle but a different research procedure and bothered to check the facts.
Both teams followed the same way of dividing participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told that the solution required the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box bordering the dots. Most people assume that 60 percent to 90 percent of the group given the clue would solve the puzzle easily. However only 25 percent did. In statistical terms, this 5 percent improvement over the subjects of Guilford’s original study is insignificant.
Solving this problem requires people to literally think outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to do so. That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the much widely circulated—and therefore, much more dangerous—metaphor that out-of-the-box thinking stimulates receptivity. After all, with one simple experiment, researchers had proven that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a myth.
12. What did the nine-dot puzzle study focus on
A. Visual perception
B. Practical experience
C. Thinking patterns
D Theoretical knowledge.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. The clients were less creative than they had been.
B. The nine-dot puzzle was beneficial in solving various problems.
C. Outside-the-box thinking enjoyed strong popularity and appeal.
D. Management consultants considered themselves creative experts.
14. Which of the following best describes the follow-up experiment
A. Revealing
B. Mysterious.
C. Misleading.
D. Groundless.
15. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Nine-Dot Puzzle:A Magic Test
B. Solving Puzzle:A Key To Creativity
C. Creative Thinking:We Fell For The Trap
D. Thinking Outside the Box:A Misguided Idea

When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of all the cheers we received from our classmates and the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork and cooperation.
During one of our training sessions, our school team was divided into two to have a match against each other. The inter-school competition was coming up and none of us wanted to miss our chance of getting that gold trophy(奖品). “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, shouted. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. Since John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone, not even his teammates, take it.
“Pass the ball to me, John!” I shouted. I was in a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop(篮筺). To my shock, John made a rude face at me. I made an attempt to grab the ball from him. When I got my hands on the ball, it became a tug-of-war(激烈竞争) between John and me. Coach Leong shook his head and exploded like an active volcano. “Children! Is this the type of behavior that I should be seeing The match is in two weeks! Do you even know the importance of teamwork ” Coach Leong gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news to tell us.
I was right.
Coach Leong explained that he would be retiring after the match. “I hope you can show me your teamwork and cooperate with one another in this match before I retire.” I choked on my tears. My heart sank. We were giving Coach Leong such a tough time, when all he wanted was for us to show teamwork in the match. After that day, my teammates and I were determined to do our best and work as a team.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
