Cassandra Warren was in a rush and feeling a little overwhelmed with work and planning her wedding. As she was getting invitation for her wedding in the mail one day, she addressed one to her aunt and uncle in Eugene, Oregon, about 20 minutes from where she lived.
A week later, the invitation came back. She had mistakenly written down the wrong address. A handwritten note was written on the return envelope: “I wish I knew you —this is going to be a blast. Congratulations — go and have dinner on me. I’ve been married for 40 years—it gets better with age.” A $20 bill was put inside.
Cassandra was at a bit of a professional crossroads and had been having a tough day. In fact, she’d been complaining to her fiance, Jesse Jone, about her frustrations just as she opened the misdirected envelope. Then she read the note.
“It was kind of prefect timing,” said Cassandra, who worked as a nanny. “I was really grateful for it.”
And the magic envelope wasn’t finished with its surprises. Cassandra looked closer and saw that the person had written “Live long and prosper” on the envelop, a nod to Star Trek (《星际迷航》).
“We’re kind of Star Trek fans,” she said.
Cassandra, 26, and Jesse, 24, had no idea who the mystery note writer was. But they figured the Star Trek reference was because the person noticed the corner of their invitation, which had both a Star War sword and a Harry Potter wand (魔杖).
“She assumed we’d understand her message,” Cassandra said, “Which we did.”
Cassandra, who was a counselor (顾问) for families with autistic children, went out to dinner the following night with a friend who was going overseas with military. They happily put the $20 toward their bill.
Then Cassandra stopped by a store and bought another card — a thank-you card. She wrote her aunt and uncle’s incorrect address on the envelope again -- this time on purpose —and addressed it to “Kind Stranger”.
Inside, she wrote, “Thank you for the note and taking the time to send it. Not many people would have done that. It was a big blessing after the day I was having. I am thankful for people like you still being in the world.” Don’t miss other real-life acts of kindness like this one that will warm your heart.

A. indicate how occupied Cassandra Warren was
B. suggest Cassandra Warren shouldn’t invite strangers

Many parents of both boys and girls have witnessed striking differences in the way their kids use technology, with their sons generally gravitating to videogames and their daughters often spending more of their screen time scrolling through social media. Emerging research indicates that brain differences between males and females help account for the split.
Marc Potenza, a professor at Yale University, teamed up with researchers at universities in China to find out why. Using functional MRIs, which measure brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow, the team studied neural responses in young male and female gamers, particularly in the parts of the brain associated with reward processing and craving --a motivating factor in addiction. When the men and women were shown photos of people playing videogames, those parts of the men’s brains showed higher levels of activation than those parts of the women’s brains.
Brain regions that have been implicated in drug-addiction studies also were shown to be more highly activated in the men after gaming. The researchers said the results suggest men could be more biologically prone (有倾向的) than women to developing internet gaming disorder.
But girls and women aren’t free from problems when it comes to digital media. Data from Pew shows that, in general, women use social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest far more than men. Many girls and women are drawn to those photo-sharing sites because they like to form bonds and find similarities, says Rosanna
Guadagno, a social psychologist at Stanford University. Some recent studies show that girls feel the ill effects of too much social media use, such as depression and anxiety, more than boys do.
Researchers at the University of Zurich looked at how differences in brain functioning can help explain why women tend to be more prosocial—that is, helpful, generous and cooperative—than men. In the 2017 study, they hypothesized that the areas of women’s brains related to reward processing are more active when they share rewards and that those areas in men are more active when receiving, selfish rewards. Brain scans conducted on men and women, in which they chose between receiving a monetary reward only for themselves or one that involved sharing money with others, supported their theory.
Scientists say understanding those differences is critical to parents’ ability to help kids navigate the fast-changing world of tech.
46. Boys and girls differ in the way they use technology in that _______.
A. boys like using technology while girls don’t
B. boys prefer photo-sharing sites to video games
C. girls use social platforms far more than boys
D. girls tend to suffer from the use of technology
47. Which is true about Professor Potenza’s research
A. The team conducted the research in Yale university.
B. There were no changes in blood flow in female games.
C. Women’s brains showed higher levels of activation than men’s.
D. They focused on the brain’s responses to the part related to addiction.
48. Why do girls spend more time on social media
A. Because they are afraid of developing internet gaming disorder.
B. Because using social media helps them drive away depression.
C. Because it functions as a way of establishing and keeping relations.
D. Because they are more active when exposed to social media.
49. The 2017 study is mentioned in the last but one paragraph to illustrate _______.
A. women are more likely to share money with others
B. men are more active when receiving selfish rewards
C. women are more helpful, generous and cooperative than men
D women’s brain function influences their prosocial behaviors
50. What will the passage probably talk about next
A. The importance of understanding these differences in brain.
B. The proper ways for teenagers to make use of technology .
C. The reasons why women are far more generous than men.
D. Other factors that might account for technology behavior.
D
How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely tuned out to what they were saying How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us
According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency.
So why aren’t we better listeners As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals, work to become more caring and compassionate communicators
We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we engage in conversation as if it’s a debate. We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions. In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value.
Playwright Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just expand our knowledge on an intellectual level; it enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal back-and-forth exchange in communication. When these dynamics become more one-sided, we tend to lose interest and create distance in our friendships, with less trust established, less honesty exchanged.
Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. Maybe we aren’t as good a listener as we believe. Do we tend to focus too much on ourselves — both in positive and negative ways Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really engaging in what’s being said As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends.
51. What is the author’s purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1
A. To show most people are confident about their listening skills.
B. To express his concerns about people’s lack of attention when talking.
C. To introduce the fact that people have low efficiency of listening in life.
D. To provide some information about how people behave in conversation.
52. Why does the author cite the research data from the year 2007
A. To prove college students have become more self-cenfered and narcissistic over time.
B. To show the belief in people’s listening skills is outdated and needs to be updated.
C. To provide an example of how society’s narcissism affects personal relationships.
D. To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic.
53. Based on the views of Stephen R. Covey and Wilson Mizner, which of the following statements is true
A. People should listen to learn and see things from a new perspective.
B. A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything.
C. Most people listen with the intention to understand, not to reply.
D. We should speak to hear our own voices and pre-existing opinions.
54. What does the underline phrase “space out” in Paragraph 4mean
A. Become focused. B. Feel confused.
C. Be absent-minded. D. Remain anxious.
55. Which of the following titles best captures the main idea
A. The Decline of Listening in Modern Society
B. Improving Listening Skills for Better Relationships
C. The Impact of Narcissism on Social Communication
D. Why We Should Listen More and Speak Less

I am a Grade 11 student, and all my peers are obsessed with the future. 9 out of 10 conversations with my friends are about universities, dream jobs, or what we want to pursue after high school. My laptop is already plastered with stickers from universities I don’t know if I’ll even apply to yet, and my diary is filled with more notes about grades for admissions than personal thoughts. My best friend and I have already planned the fantasy apartment that we’ll rent together if we get into the same university.
However, I recently found that keeping my mind on the future is preventing me from living in the present. I selected courses I had absolutely no interest in just to boost my average. I found myself doing schoolwork with the intention of getting good grades for university admissions. At one time, I had thought of high school as nothing more than a highway to transport me from childhood to adulthood. I felt that way until last month when I attended my school’s semi-formal dance (半正式舞会).
As I danced with 200 sweaty teenagers in the venue I felt a feeling I hadn’t felt for a long time: I was present, and we were all present. I wasn’t worried about my future because that wasn’t relevant at that moment. All that mattered was that we were young. We all lost ourselves in teenage bliss (幸福) on the dance floor without a single thought of our futures in our heads. What a wonderful feeling adolescence is.
That night changed everything. I understand now that high school is more than just a pathway to adulthood. High school is a rightful destination of its own. Ever since I’ve been trying to spend every second of my life living in the moment. Every time I catch myself going down the mental rabbit hole of the future, I take a step back and recenter myself. Instead of thinking years into my career, I try to think just one day at a time. Since my semi-formal, I’ve lived my life as an adolescent, not an adult-to-be.
56. Why did the author select courses he disliked (no more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
57. What did the author use to think of high school (no more than 10 words)

Cassandra Warren was in a rush and feeling a little overwhelmed with work and planning her wedding. As she was getting invitation for her wedding in the mail one day, she addressed one to her aunt and uncle in Eugene, Oregon, about 20 minutes from where she lived.
A week later, the invitation came back. She had mistakenly written down the wrong address. A handwritten note was written on the return envelope: “I wish I knew you —this is going to be a blast. Congratulations — go and have dinner on me. I’ve been married for 40 years—it gets better with age.” A $20 bill was put inside.
Cassandra was at a bit of a professional crossroads and had been having a tough day. In fact, she’d been complaining to her fiance, Jesse Jone, about her frustrations just as she opened the misdirected envelope. Then she read the note.
“It was kind of prefect timing,” said Cassandra, who worked as a nanny. “I was really grateful for it.”
And the magic envelope wasn’t finished with its surprises. Cassandra looked closer and saw that the person had written “Live long and prosper” on the envelop, a nod to Star Trek (《星际迷航》).
“We’re kind of Star Trek fans,” she said.
Cassandra, 26, and Jesse, 24, had no idea who the mystery note writer was. But they figured the Star Trek reference was because the person noticed the corner of their invitation, which had both a Star War sword and a Harry Potter wand (魔杖).
“She assumed we’d understand her message,” Cassandra said, “Which we did.”
Cassandra, who was a counselor (顾问) for families with autistic children, went out to dinner the following night with a friend who was going overseas with military. They happily put the $20 toward their bill.
Then Cassandra stopped by a store and bought another card — a thank-you card. She wrote her aunt and uncle’s incorrect address on the envelope again -- this time on purpose —and addressed it to “Kind Stranger”.
Inside, she wrote, “Thank you for the note and taking the time to send it. Not many people would have done that. It was a big blessing after the day I was having. I am thankful for people like you still being in the world.” Don’t miss other real-life acts of kindness like this one that will warm your heart.
41. In writing the first paragraph, the author intends to _______.
A. indicate how occupied Cassandra Warren was
B. suggest Cassandra Warren shouldn’t invite strangers
C. remind people to carefully prepare for weddings
D. tell people how the story happened by accident
42. Why did the mystery note writer include the message “Live long and prosper” on the envelope
A. To show her appreciation for the wedding invitation.
B. To express her best wishes for the couple’s future.
C. To connect with the couple over a shared interest.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了Cassandra在邮寄结婚请帖时误打误撞写错了地址，却惊喜地得到了一位陌生人的祝福和二十美金，陌生人的一番善意和友善让她再次感受到人间的温暖的一个感人故事。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Cassandra Warren was in a rush and feeling a little overwhelmed with work and planning her wedding. As she was preparing invitations for her wedding in the mail one day last year, she hurriedly addressed one to her aunt and uncle. (Cassandra很着急，对工作和计划婚礼感到有点不知所措。去年的一天，当她在准备婚礼请柬时，她匆匆给叔叔阿姨寄了一封信。)”可知，Cassandra非常的忙碌，所以才会忙中出错写错了地址，才会得到一位友善的陌生人的回信，由此可知作者在写第一段时是想告诉我们故事是偶然发生的。故选D项。
42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“And the magic envelope wasn’t finished with its surprises. Cassandra looked closer and saw that the person had written“Live long and prosper” on the envelop, a nod to Star Trek(《星际迷航》).(神奇的信封并没有结束它的惊喜。Cassandra凑近了看，发现信封上写着“万岁，繁荣昌盛”，这是对《星际迷航》的致敬。)”以及第七段“But they figured the Star Trek reference was because the person noticed the corner of their invitation, which had both a Star War sword and a Harry Potter wand(魔杖).(但他们认为，提到《星际迷航》是因为这个人注意到了邀请函的一角，上面有一把《星球大战》中的剑和一根哈利波特魔杖。)”可知陌生人由邀请函一角的《星球大战》中的剑和一根哈利波特魔杖知道Cassandra和Jesse是《星际迷航》的粉丝，所以在信封的最后写上了“Live long and prosper”，由此可以推断陌生人在信封的最后写上“Live long and prosper”是为了表达她对这对夫妇未来的最美好祝愿。故选B项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““It was kind of prefect timing,” said Cassandra, who worked as a nanny. “I was really grateful for it.”(“这是一个完美的时机，”Cassandra说，她是一名保姆。“我真的很感激它。”)”以及第六段中“And the magic envelope wasn’t finished with its surprises.(神奇的信封并没有结束它的惊喜。)”可知Cassandra收到一封来自陌生人的信时感觉很完美，非常感激，带给她的除了感动还有惊喜，所以可以推测Cassandra被那个陌生人的回答深深地感动了。故选B项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Cassandra was at a bit of a professional crossroads and had been having a tough day. In fact, she’d been complaining to her fiance, Jesse Jone, about her frustrations just as she opened the misdirected envelope. Then she read the note.( Cassandra正处于职业生涯的十字路口，这一天过得很艰难。事实上，就在她打开那个被误导的信封的时候，她一直在向未婚夫Jesse Jone抱怨她的沮丧。然后她读了纸条。)”以及第四段“It was kind of prefect timing,” said Cassandra, who worked as a nanny. “I was really grateful for it.”(“这是一个完美的时机，”Cassandra说，她是一名保姆。“我真的很感激。”)”可知这个意想不到的便条让处于职业生涯十字路口的Cassandra精神振奋。故选C项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Inside, she wrote, “Thank you for the note and taking the time to send it. Not many people would have done that. It was a big blessing after the day I was having. I am thankful for people like you still being in the world.” Don’t miss other real-life acts of kindness like this one that will warm your heart.(她在信中写道：“感谢您的留言，感谢您花时间送来。没有多少人会这么做。这对我来说是天大的祝福。我很感激世界上还有像你这样的人。”不要错过现实生活中其他像这样温暖你的心的善举。)”以及文章其他段落的内容可知文章讲述的是Cassandra在邮寄结婚请帖时误打误撞写错了地址，却惊喜地得到了一位陌生人的祝福和二十美金，陌生人的一番善意和友善让她再次感受到人间的温暖的一个感人故事，全文贯穿着一种感人的和感激的情感基调，所以这篇文章的总体基调是感人的和充满感激之情的。故选B项。
C
Many parents of both boys and girls have witnessed striking differences in the way their kids use technology, with their sons generally gravitating to videogames and their daughters often spending more of their screen time scrolling through social media. Emerging research indicates that brain differences between males and females help account for the split.
Marc Potenza, a professor at Yale University, teamed up with researchers at universities in China to find out why. Using functional MRIs, which measure brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow, the team studied neural responses in young male and female gamers, particularly in the parts of the brain associated with reward processing and craving --a motivating factor in addiction. When the men and women were shown photos of people playing videogames, those parts of the men’s brains showed higher levels of activation than those parts of the women’s brains.
Brain regions that have been implicated in drug-addiction studies also were shown to be more highly activated in the men after gaming. The researchers said the results suggest men could be more biologically prone (有倾向的) than women to developing internet gaming disorder.
But girls and women aren’t free from problems when it comes to digital media. Data from Pew shows that, in general, women use social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest far more than men. Many girls and women are drawn to those photo-sharing sites because they like to form bonds and find similarities, says Rosanna
Guadagno, a social psychologist at Stanford University. Some recent studies show that girls feel the ill effects of too much social media use, such as depression and anxiety, more than boys do.
Researchers at the University of Zurich looked at how differences in brain functioning can help explain why women tend to be more prosocial—that is, helpful, generous and cooperative—than men. In the 2017 study, they hypothesized that the areas of women’s brains related to reward processing are more active when they share rewards and that those areas in men are more active when receiving, selfish rewards. Brain scans conducted on men and women, in which they chose between receiving a monetary reward only for themselves or one that involved sharing money with others, supported their theory.
Scientists say understanding those differences is critical to parents’ ability to help kids navigate the fast-changing world of tech.
46. Boys and girls differ in the way they use technology in that _______.
A. boys like using technology while girls don’t
B. boys prefer photo-sharing sites to video games
C. girls use social platforms far more than boys
D. girls tend to suffer from the use of technology
47. Which is true about Professor Potenza’s research
A. The team conducted the research in Yale university.
B. There were no changes in blood flow in female games.
C. Women’s brains showed higher levels of activation than men’s.
D. They focused on the brain’s responses to the part related to addiction.
48. Why do girls spend more time on social media
A. Because they are afraid of developing internet gaming disorder.
B. Because using social media helps them drive away depression.
C. Because it functions as a way of establishing and keeping relations.
D. Because they are more active when exposed to social media.
49. The 2017 study is mentioned in the last but one paragraph to illustrate _______.
A. women are more likely to share money with others
B. men are more active when receiving selfish rewards
C. women are more helpful, generous and cooperative than men
D. women’s brain function influences their prosocial behaviors
50. What will the passage probably talk about next
A. The importance of understanding these differences in brain.
B. The proper ways for teenagers to make use of technology .
C. The reasons why women are far more generous than men.
D. Other factors that might account for technology behavior.

D
How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends, family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely tuned out to what they were saying How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us
According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency.
So why aren’t we better listeners As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students. If we, as a culture, are becoming more self-centered, how can we, as individuals, work to become more caring and compassionate communicators
We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations. As Stephen R. Covey wrote in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand but to reply.” A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities. Yet, too often we engage in conversation as if it’s a debate. We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions. In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to. We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value.
Playwright Wilson Mizner said, “A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.” Listening doesn’t just expand our knowledge on an intellectual level; it enables us to have a more personal, in-depth understanding of our closest friends. Relationships are truly enriched by an equal back-and-forth exchange in communication. When these dynamics become more one-sided, we tend to lose interest and create distance in our friendships, with less trust established, less honesty exchanged.
Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills. Maybe we aren’t as good a listener as we believe. Do we tend to focus too much on ourselves — both in positive and negative ways Do we get distracted by an inner coach, rather than living in the moment and really engaging in what’s being said As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends.
51. What is the author’s purpose in showing the social phenomena in Paragraph 1
A. To show most people are confident about their listening skills.
B. To express his concerns about people’s lack of attention when talking.
C. To introduce the fact that people have low efficiency of listening in life.
D. To provide some information about how people behave in conversation.
52. Why does the author cite the research data from the year 2007
A. To prove college students have become more self-cenfered and narcissistic over time.
B. To show the belief in people’s listening skills is outdated and needs to be updated.
C. To provide an example of how society’s narcissism affects personal relationships.
D. To support the argument that society is becoming more self-centered and narcissistic.
53. Based on the views of Stephen R. Covey and Wilson Mizner, which of the following statements is true
A. People should listen to learn and see things from a new perspective.
B. A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything.
C. Most people listen with the intention to understand, not to reply.
D. We should speak to hear our own voices and pre-existing opinions.
54. What does the underline phrase “space out” in Paragraph 4mean
A. Become focused. B. Feel confused.
C. Be absent-minded. D. Remain anxious.
55. Which of the following titles best captures the main idea
A. The Decline of Listening in Modern Society
B. Improving Listening Skills for Better Relationships
C. The Impact of Narcissism on Social Communication
D. Why We Should Listen More and Speak Less
【答案】51. C 52. D 53. A 54. C 55. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了人们为什么不能成为很好的倾听者的原因，并给出了如何正确倾听的建议，指出了倾听对人际关系的重要性。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“According to research cited by Wright State University, while most people believe they are good listeners who don’t need to improve their listening skills, the average person only listens at about 25 percent efficiency.”（根据莱特州立大学引用的研究，虽然大多数人认为他们是好的倾听者，不需要提高他们的倾听技巧，但一般人的倾听效率只有25%左右。）可知，第一段中所展示的社会现象是为了引出在生活中，人们倾听效率较低的这一事实。故选C。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As a society, we may be growing more narcissistic (自我陶醉的). A 2007 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students.”（作为一个社会，我们可能变得越来越自恋。2007年的一项研究发现，大学生的自我中心和自恋倾向有所上升。）可知，作者引用2007年的一个调查数据，是为了支持社会正在变得越来越自我和自恋这一观点。故选D。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段Stephen R. Covey的观点“A dialogue is an opportunity to learn, to see things from a new perspective, to open your eyes to new information and possibilities.”（对话是一个学习的机会，是从一个新的角度看问题，看到新的信息和可能性的机会。）和第五段Wilson Mizner的话“A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something.”（一个好的倾听者不仅在任何地方都受欢迎，而且不久之后，他就会知道一些事情。）可知，一个好的倾听者是应该通过倾听，学习到一些知识和信息，从新的角度来看问题的。故选A。
【54题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“We speak to hear our own voices — our own pre-existing opinions.”（我们说话是为了听到自己的声音——我们自己已有的观点。）和“We wait, perhaps even patiently or politely, for the other person to finish, so we can say something we feel is of value.”（我们耐心地、礼貌地等着对方把话说完，这样我们才能说一些我们觉得有价值的话。）可知，在对话过程中，我们关注的只是等对方把话说完后，来表达自己的观点，所以在对方讲话时，我们不会很专注倾听，容易心不在焉；结合划线词所在句“In doing so, we tend to space out when spoken to.”（在这样做的时候，当别人对我们说话时，我们往往会space out。）可知，“space out”表示“走神，心不在焉”。故选C。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations.”（我们可以从改变我们对对话的态度开始。）和最后一段“Thankfully, we can all improve our listening skills.”（感谢的是，我们都可以提高我们的倾听技巧。）、“As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds, we can start to open ourselves up to others, becoming better listeners, thinkers, lovers and friends.”（当我们学会让内心的声音安静下来时，我们就可以开始向别人敞开心扉，成为更好的倾听者、思考者、爱人和朋友。）以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了如何通过提高倾听技巧来获得更好的人际关系。故选B。

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I am a Grade 11 student, and all my peers are obsessed with the future. 9 out of 10 conversations with my friends are about universities, dream jobs, or what we want to pursue after high school. My laptop is already plastered with stickers from universities I don’t know if I’ll even apply to yet, and my diary is filled with more notes about grades for admissions than personal thoughts. My best friend and I have already planned the fantasy apartment that we’ll rent together if we get into the same university.
However, I recently found that keeping my mind on the future is preventing me from living in the present. I selected courses I had absolutely no interest in just to boost my average. I found myself doing schoolwork with the intention of getting good grades for university admissions. At one time, I had thought of high school as nothing more than a highway to transport me from childhood to adulthood. I felt that way until last month when I attended my school’s semi-formal dance (半正式舞会).
As I danced with 200 sweaty teenagers in the venue, I felt a feeling I hadn’t felt for a long time: I was present, and we were all present. I wasn’t worried about my future because that wasn’t relevant at that moment. All that mattered was that we were young. We all lost ourselves in teenage bliss (幸福) on the dance floor without a single thought of our futures in our heads. What a wonderful feeling adolescence is.
That night changed everything. I understand now that high school is more than just a pathway to adulthood. High school is a rightful destination of its own. Ever since I’ve been trying to spend every second of my life living in the moment. Every time I catch myself going down the mental rabbit hole of the future, I take a step back and recenter myself. Instead of thinking years into my career, I try to think just one day at a time. Since my semi-formal, I’ve lived my life as an adolescent, not an adult-to-be.

57. What did the author use to think of high school (no more than 10 words)

【答案】56. To boost his average.

【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者如何意识到过度关注未来会妨碍享受当下的生活，并通过一次半正式舞会的经历，改变了自己对高中生活和未来的看法。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“I selected courses I had absolutely no interest in just to boost my average.(我选择了我完全不感兴趣的课程，只是为了提高我的平均成绩)”可知，作者选择了他不喜欢的课程是为了提高他的平均成绩。故答案为To boost his average.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“At one time, I had thought of high school as nothing more than a highway to transport me from childhood to adulthood.(有一段时间，我认为高中只不过是一条把我从童年带到成年的高速公路)”可知，作者过去对高中的看法是只不过是一条高速公路带自己走向成年。故答案为Nothing more than a highway to adulthood.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据后文“Instead of thinking years into my career, I try to think just one day at a time.(我试着一次只考虑一天，而不是考虑我职业生涯的几年)”可知，作者一次只考虑一天的事，所以之前应是过度思考了，所以推知rabbit hole应是“过度思考”之意，和overthinking意思相近。故答案为Overthinking.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“That night changed everything. I understand now that high school is more than just a pathway to adulthood. High school is a rightful destination of its own.(那一夜改变了一切。我现在明白了高中不仅仅是通往成年的道路。高中有它自己的归宿)”可知，作者对高中的新态度是高中不仅仅是一条道路。故答案为High school is more than a pathway.
【60题详解】
开放性问道。此问为开放性问题，回答合理即可，例如：我在高中难忘的时刻是在学校篮球锦标赛中获得冠军。对我和我的队友来说，这是一个激动人心的时刻。故答案为My unforgettable moment in high school was winning the championship in the school basketball tournament. It was an exciting moment for me and my teammates.
