When I saw the documentary ADHD (多动症): Not Just for Kids, I was in tears after 20 minutes — the stories being told sounded much like my own. I’m in my 40s, I had read everything there was in health and science and I had no idea that the symptoms (症状) I had experienced all of my life were anything but normal. How had I missed this I called the doctor to get assessed. I must have sounded desperate on the phone; they took me right away.
Later, I researched everything I could about ADHD. It became clear that my misunderstanding and ignorance about the disorder had misled me. A million thoughts, a million regrets. Finally, I told myself I couldn’t change the past, but I could share the fact that ADHD can look much different from the super active child practicing back flips (后空翻) off of a chair.
As for me, things went another way around: I was a young girl, quietly sitting at my school desk, pretending to listen to the teacher. Meanwhile, I was watching and drawing the bird that landed in the tree outside. And I was rereading entire chapters of my textbooks and taking extensive notes because I couldn’t remember what I had just read because I was thinking of the bird I had seen earlier.
Later in life, I’d sit at the kitchen table, staring out the window. There’s no telling how long it will take. Thoughts rush in from yesterday, today and tomorrow. I need to make dinner, take the dog for a walk, the kids will be home soon... But I can’t move. I know that I should, but I can’t. Afterward, I berate myself, unable to understand why I didn’t get up, why I wasted so much precious time, so much of my life doing nothing, it seems.
Since being treated, I have an inner calmness that is new to me. Medication doesn’t organize my day; it doesn’t remind me to pick up the kids or walk the dog. However, it allows me to move when I’ve been staring out the window for too long.
24. What did the author learn from the documentary
A. She might have been an ADHD patient.
B. She was wrongly assessed by many doctors.
C. She had never experienced any symptom of ADHD.
D. She was a very problematic child during school years.
25. Why does the author share her early experiences in paragraphs 3-4
A. To offer possible causes of ADHD.
B. To make it clear how ADHD develops
C. To show ADHD has more than one form.
D. To describe ADHD symptoms in children.
26. What does the underlined word “berate” mean in paragraph 4
A adjust. B. blame. C. push. D. challenge.
27. How has the treatment affected the author
A. She has learned some basic life skills.
B. She has allowed herself more free time.
C. She has become motivated to take action.
D. She has developed more patience with her kids.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位40多岁的女士在看完关于多动症的纪录片后，对自己过去生活的反思和自白。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I saw the documentary ADHD (多动症): Not Just for Kids, I was in tears after 20 minutes — the stories being told sounded much like my own.(当我看纪录片《多动症：不只是孩子的》时，我看了20分钟就哭了——里面讲的故事听起来很像我自己的故事)”可知，作者发现纪录片中关于多动症的故事和自己的经历很相似，通过纪录片她发现自己可能是多动症患者。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。第二段中“Finally, I told myself I couldn’t change the past, but I could share the fact that ADHD can look much different from the super active child practicing back flips (后空翻) off of a chair.(最后，我告诉自己，我无法改变过去，但我可以分享这样一个事实：多动症与超级活跃的孩子在椅子上练习后空翻有很大的不同)”作者提出自己对多动症的认知：多动症与超级活跃的孩子在椅子上练习后空翻有很大的不同。第三段中“As for me, things went another way around: I was a young girl, quietly sitting at my school desk, pretending to listen to the teacher...(对我来说，情况正好相反:我是一个小女孩，静静地坐在课桌前，假装在听老师讲课……)”和第四段中“Later in life, I’d sit at the kitchen table, staring out the window. There’s no telling how long it will take. Thoughts rush in from yesterday, today and tomorrow... (后来，我坐在厨房的桌子旁，凝视着窗外。不知道要花多长时间。思绪从昨天、今天和明天涌来……)”用自己的经历来说明多动症除了“超级活跃”外，还有其它形式。所以作者在第3、4段中分享了她早期的经历是为了表明多动症不止一种形式。故选C项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“I need to make dinner, take the dog for a walk, the kids will be home soon... But I can’t move. I know that I should, but I can’t.(我要做晚饭，遛狗，孩子们很快就会回家……但是我动不了。我知道我应该这么做，但我做不到)”可知，在生活中，作者总是无法去做自己想做的事情，身体不受自己控制。结合划线词所在句“Afterward, I berate myself, unable to understand why I didn’t get up, why I wasted so much precious time, so much of my life doing nothing, it seems.(后来，我berate自己，不明白为什么我没有起床，为什么我浪费了这么多宝贵的时间，为什么我的生命中这么多的时间似乎什么都没做)”中“unable to understand why I didn’t get up, why I wasted so much precious time, so much of my life doing nothing”可推知，作者对于自己的这种无能充满自责。故berate与blame意思相近。故选B项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since being treated, I have an inner calmness that is new to me. Medication doesn’t organize my day; it doesn’t remind me to pick up the kids or walk the dog. However, it allows me to move when I’ve been staring out the window for too long.(自从接受治疗以来，我内心的平静对我来说是前所未有的。药物不能安排我的一天；它不会提醒我去接孩子或遛狗。然而，当我盯着窗外看太久的时候，它可以让我动起来)”可知，治疗让作者有了采取行动的动力。故选C项。
C
In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
28. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs
A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B. The author agrees to spend money on material things.
C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
29. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that .
A traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
B. people dislike those who love luxuries
C. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
D. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
30. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style.
C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
31. The main purpose of the article is to .
A. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
B. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
C. tell how to express yourself through appearances
D. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了在奢侈品市场上，中国消费者现在是最大的买家。很明显，新一代的年轻人，物质主义者越来越依赖奢侈品牌来提升自己的形象。文章就此现象进行了讨论，作者建议读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. (我也是一个时尚主义者，至少在精神上——我喜欢看衣服和鞋子。但我不明白为什么人们会花那么多钱买名牌。当一个年轻女子花了她两个月的工资买一个手提包时，这是一件可怕的事情。)”可推知，作者批评年轻人花很多钱来买设计师品牌，以此来打扮自己的行为。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. (事实上，美国科罗拉多大学博尔德分校 Leaf Van Boven 的一系列研究表明，在旅行和类似经历上花钱的人比那些把钱花在物质上的人获得更多的快乐。)”可知，Leaf Van Boven的研究表明，与奢侈品相比，经历能给人们带来更多的幸福，故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. (想要通过自己的外表来表达自己是很自然的。所以我的建议是：创造一种不受设计师品牌束缚的造型。传达你自己的信息。)”可知，作者建议人们不要通过设计师标签来表达自己，由此可推知，作者建议人们要创造你自己独特的风格来表达自己。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. (你不必倾家荡产来传达你是谁的信息。去旅行。走进外面的世界。然后回来，自信地创造自己的标志性外观。)”结合文章主要说明了在奢侈品市场上，中国消费者现在是最大的买家。很明显，新一代的年轻人，物质主义者越来越依赖奢侈品牌来提升自己的形象。文章就此现象进行了讨论，作者建议读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上。可推知，作者的写作目的是：说服读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上，故选A。
D
Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. These days, you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want, but also what source you want your milk to be coming from: cows, soybeans... You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.
This phenomenon is known as the paradox (悖论) of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world, where more and more options are becoming easily available to us. While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.
The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. Schwartz, who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect (交叉), became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Western societies. He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past; however, consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theories might expect.
Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequence for people that are maximizers. Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. When there are many options available to maximizers, it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best, which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice.
Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.
32. What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning buying milk in paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To draw a conclusion.
C. To show that we have more choices when shopping.
D. To indicate that people pay greater attention to health when shopping.
33. What does the paradox of choice suggest
A. More options mean less satisfaction.
B. Consumer satisfaction has greatly increased.
C. People are happy with more choices.
D. Modern people are happier than their ancestors.
34. What can be learned about satisficers
A. They aim for the very best. B. They tend to follow their feelings.
C. They often regret their decisions. D. They have trouble making a decision.
35. What does Schwartz suggest people do
A Hold on to their beliefs. B. Accept their own behavior.
C. Give up freedom. D. Limit their own choices.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。 文章主要介绍了“选择悖论”这一现象，即过多的选择会让人们感到困惑和不满，从而降低消费者的满意度。文章还介绍了“最大化者”和“满足者”的区别，以及心理学和行为经济学在解决这一问题中的作用。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. (想象一下，你需要牛奶，所以你去杂货店买了一些，却发现有几十种选择)”以及“You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.(你不知道该选什么牛奶。有太多的选择让你感到困惑)”可知，购物时牛奶品类众多，以至于很难做出决策。是下文“选择的悖论”这一现象的一个案例。由此可推知，文章第一段提到买牛奶就是为了引出文章的话题。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.(虽然我们可能认为，提供多种选择实际上会让我们更容易选择一种我们满意的选择，从而提高消费者满意度，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意)”可知，选择太多实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定，这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。由此可推知，更多的选择意味着更少的满足感。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. (与满足者不同，最大化者关心的是做出最好的选择，而不是简单地做出他们满意的选择)”可推知，满足者跟随自己的感觉，不纠结于必须做出“最好的”决定。故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.(施瓦茨不认为选择的自由是无限的，而是主张心理学和行为经济学的作用应该是找到对自由的限制，从而在社会中获得最大程度的幸福)”可知，施瓦茨建议人们限制自己的选择。故选D。
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。
Most smartphones allow you to run location sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location. There are lots of great uses for this technology. ____36____ So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service, and pay attention to how you are using it. Here're some important points you may find helpful.
Choose what's best for you. Some location sharing services are games that let you give a shout out when you've turned up at a particular spot. ____37____ Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting. Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location.
Know who your friends are. ____38____ This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend. It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky, so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust.
____39____ Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time, but others will send it forever — until you stop it. Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location.
Update parents. Location based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text. ____40____ If you're heading home late at night, you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive, so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic.
A. Check back often.
B. Keep sending your location.
C. However, these services are not for all children.
D. With its help, you can easily share your location with them.
E. Check ins ease worries so they don't have to follow your every move.
F. Others show where you are all the time or for a period of time you set.
G. Some location services operate like Facebook, where you invite and accept friends.
【答案】36. C 37. F 38. G 39. A 40. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何正确和安全地使用手机的定位功能。
【36题详解】
空前一句“There are lots of great uses for this technology.”提到手机定位装置很有用，空后一句“So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service, and pay attention to how you are using it.”提到，你要确保你被允许使用某个软件或服务，并注意如何使用。空前后为转折关系，C项“然而，这些服务并不是适用于所有孩子”符合语境，故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据空前一句“Some location sharing services are games that let you give a shout out when you've turned up at a particular spot. (有些位置共享服务是当你出现在某个特定地点时，你可以大声喊出来的游戏。)”及空后一句“Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting.(还有一些继续分享你的位置，直到你改变设置。)”可知，此处是列举一些定位服务，F项“其他的则显示出你在所有时间或一段时间内所处的位置。”符合语境，F项中的Others与上文Some及下文Still others呼应。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据空后一句“This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend.(这意味着人们可以通过搜索查看你是否在线，并添加你为好友。)”可知，有些定位装置像社交软件一样，可以加好友，G 项“有些定位服务的操作像Facebook一样，你可以邀请并接受朋友。”符合语境。G项中的friends呼应上下文。故选G项。
【39题详解】
空处是段落主题句，根据本段中“Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time, but others will send it forever—until you stop it. Review your contact list periodically …(有些服务会在一段时间后自动停止发送你的位置，但有些服务会一直发送——直到你停止。定期查看你的联系列表……)”可知，本段主要讲了一些定位装置会自动停止，而另一些总是不停地发送你的位置，因此你需要经常查看，A项“经常返回查看”可以作为本段主旨句。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据空前一句“Location based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text.(基于位置的服务是一个对青少年很好的方式，让父母知道他们在哪里，而不用打电话或发短信。)”可知，本段主要讲定位装置可以使父母放心，E项“查看位置可以缓解担忧，这样他们不必跟踪你的每一个动作。”符合语境。E项中的“ease worries”与本段内容呼应，故选E项。

Early in my ____49____, I was teaching a workshop when a person in the audience yelled out to me. He told me I had _____50_____ made a job choice and had a bright future.

When I saw the documentary ADHD (多动症): Not Just for Kids, I was in tears after 20 minutes — the stories being told sounded much like my own. I’m in my 40s, I had read everything there was in health and science and I had no idea that the symptoms (症状) I had experienced all of my life were anything but normal. How had I missed this I called the doctor to get assessed. I must have sounded desperate on the phone; they took me right away.
Later, I researched everything I could about ADHD. It became clear that my misunderstanding and ignorance about the disorder had misled me. A million thoughts, a million regrets. Finally, I told myself I couldn’t change the past, but I could share the fact that ADHD can look much different from the super active child practicing back flips (后空翻) off of a chair.
As for me, things went another way around: I was a young girl, quietly sitting at my school desk, pretending to listen to the teacher. Meanwhile, I was watching and drawing the bird that landed in the tree outside. And I was rereading entire chapters of my textbooks and taking extensive notes because I couldn’t remember what I had just read because I was thinking of the bird I had seen earlier.
Later in life, I’d sit at the kitchen table, staring out the window. There’s no telling how long it will take. Thoughts rush in from yesterday, today and tomorrow. I need to make dinner, take the dog for a walk, the kids will be home soon... But I can’t move. I know that I should, but I can’t. Afterward, I berate myself, unable to understand why I didn’t get up, why I wasted so much precious time, so much of my life doing nothing, it seems.
Since being treated, I have an inner calmness that is new to me. Medication doesn’t organize my day; it doesn’t remind me to pick up the kids or walk the dog. However, it allows me to move when I’ve been staring out the window for too long.
24. What did the author learn from the documentary
A. She might have been an ADHD patient.
B. She was wrongly assessed by many doctors.
C. She had never experienced any symptom of ADHD.
D. She was a very problematic child during school years.
25. Why does the author share her early experiences in paragraphs 3-4
A. To offer possible causes of ADHD.
B. To make it clear how ADHD develops
C. To show ADHD has more than one form.
D. To describe ADHD symptoms in children.
26. What does the underlined word “berate” mean in paragraph 4
A. adjust. B. blame. C. push. D. challenge.
27. How has the treatment affected the author
A. She has learned some basic life skills.
B. She has allowed herself more free time.
C. She has become motivated to take action.
D. She has developed more patience with her kids.
C
In recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing.
What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me.
Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences.
It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look.
28. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs
A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself.
B. The author agrees to spend money on material things.
C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels.
D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends.
29. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that .
A. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly
B. people dislike those who love luxuries
C. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries
D. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness
30. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself
A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style.
C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
31. The main purpose of the article is to .
A. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries
B. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life
C. tell how to express yourself through appearances
D. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness
D
Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. These days, you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want, but also what source you want your milk to be coming from: cows, soybeans... You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.
This phenomenon is known as the paradox (悖论) of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world, where more and more options are becoming easily available to us. While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.
The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. Schwartz, who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect (交叉), became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Western societies. He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past; however, consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theories might expect.
Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequence for people that are maximizers. Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. When there are many options available to maximizers, it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best, which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice.
Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioral economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.
