The Language Exchange Programme allows students in pairs to communicate in two different languages they wish to share and learn each week. Students record short entries after each partner meeting noting the language skills practised and the topics discussed. Each pair of students meets three times throughout the term with a teacher who decides if the exchange is effective. Students who successfully complete the programme will receive one credit each.
Requirements for completion:
One welcoming session on the second Friday of the term
18 weekly one-hour pair meetings
Weekly progress reports for all pair meetings
At least three pair-teacher meetings

The sign-up and registration process is as follows:
Students sign up and indicate the languages they can share and languages they are interested in learning.
Based on the information entered by each student, potential pairs are identified.
Proficiency(熟练) levels are confirmed through coursework or placement tests.
Once a pair has been determined to be suitable, the students will be contacted individually with a special permission number to register for the programme.
Reminders:
Signing up for the programme does not automatically mean that you will be able to register and participate. Pairs are matched by languages of interest and proficiency levels. Since there are many factors involved in the pairing process, not all students who sign up will be matched with a partner and be able to register for the programme.

When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns.
In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling(乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo(禁忌) I wasn’t allowed to practise.
One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with watercolours. Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy and un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.
24.How did the author feel about the result of the art exam
A. Scared.　　　　　　　B. Worried.
C. Discouraged. D. Wronged.
25.In her 30s, the author 　　　　.
A. avoided oil painting practice
B. sought for a painting career
C. fancied abstract painting
D. exhibited child paintings
26.Which word would best describe the author’s dream
A. Confusing. B. Empowering.
C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining.
27.What can we learn from this passage
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Hard work is the mother of success.
C. Dreams are the reflections of realities.
D. Creative activities involve being confident.

This summer, Europe’s most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism (过度旅游). As many destinations move to restrict, fine, ban, charge and protest tourists for bad behavior, Copenhagen is trying a different approach to turning tourism from a negative force to a positive one.
Tourism officials in Copenhagen introduced CopenPay, a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travelers who engage in climate-friendly behaviors, such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts. These include free coffee or a lunch made from locally sourced food, free museum tours and kayak rentals. Green actions have become a currency for enjoying Copenhagen’s free food and cultural experiences.
Mikkel Aar -Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, says the initiative (倡议) is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it. It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.” An important step in this transformation, he said, “is to change how we move around on the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals.”
According to a 2023 sustainable report by Kanter, a London-based market research group, 81% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably, but only 22% have changed their behavior. Mikkel Aar -Hansen views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behavior. “Our vision is to create a ripple effect (连锁效应). We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives, other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
Will Copenhagen’s strategy work Only time will tell. Still, Randy Durband, chief executive of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behavior but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.”
28. How does Copenhagen cope with overtourism
A. By rewarding tourists for their green actions.
B. By providing free public transport for tourists.
C. By charging a heavy fine for tourists’ bad behavior.
D. By limiting the number of tourists in popular attractions.
29. What is CopenPay intended for
A. Improving the city’s image.
B. Promoting sustainable tourism.
C. Increasing income from tourism.
D. Enriching tourists’ travel experiences.
30. What can be inferred about CopenPay from Mikkel Aar -Hansen
A. It only works for a small number of tourists.
B. It pushes the development of global tourism.
C. It has inspired many cities to follow its example.
D. It is expected to spread green tourism initiatives.
31. What is Randy Durband’s attitude towards CopenPay
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
D
In the digital age, writing by hand is becoming rare as text messages replace handwritten letters. While digital keyboards improve efficiency, research shows that handwriting has cognitive (认知) benefits for both children and adults, and giving up this slower, more personal way of expressing ourselves may come at a significant cost.
Audrey van der Meer, a psychologist at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, suggests that handwriting is a superior process in terms of brain activities compared to typing. Both activities require hand and finger movements, but handwriting involves finer coordination (协调) between motor and visual systems, leading to deeper engagement of different brain systems and better understanding of information. “It lets you make associations between your body and what you’re seeing and hearing, providing more connections for accessing concepts or ideas,” she says.
Audrey and other experts worry that giving up handwriting for typing could have a significant impact on how we all learn and think. For children, relying on keyboards instead of pen and paper may weaken their ability to recognize letters and limit the development of brain areas used during reading. Without handwriting instruction, children’s brains may not reach their full potential. For adults, typing might be more efficient during work, but it often leads to superficial (粗略的) information processing and reduced comprehension abilities, memory, and cognitive connectivity.
During a meeting or lecture, it’s possible to type everything you’re hearing. But often, “you’re not actually processing or organizing that information — you’re just typing blindly,” says Audrey. However, we don’t have to abandon digital tools to take advantage of the power of handwriting. Writing with a digital pen on a screen causes similar brain responses as marking ink on paper. It’s the movement that counts, not its final form.
32. In which aspect do people benefit from handwriting
A. Improving work efficiency.
B. Developing expression skills.
C. Documenting clearer messages.
D. Strengthening cognitive ability.
33. What advantage does handwriting have over typing according to Audrey van der Meer
A. It makes hand muscles more flexible.
B. It forces the brain to engage in creative thinking.
C. It facilitates a better understanding of information.
D. It promotes the brain activities centered on visual data.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The advantages of using digital tools.
B. Ways to develop the brain’s potential.
C. Consequences of abandoning handwriting.
D. The importance of handwriting instruction.
35. Which statement would the author probably agree with
A. The action of writing enables the brain to think.
B. The final form of writing determines our memory.
C. Typing causes similar brain responses as handwriting.
D. Writing with digital pens can weaken one’s learning ability.
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。
It’s a struggle for many of us to get out of the sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle, despite our best intentions. 　36　, the biggest barriers are mental ones. Maybe it’s a lack of self-confidence that keeps you from taking positive steps, or you get easily discouraged and give up.
You already know there are many ways and great reasons to exercise — from improving mood, sleep, and health to reducing anxiety. But knowing how and why to exercise can’t get you starting and sticking to your exercise plan. 　37　, you need to follow these steps which can make exercise less painful and more fun.
Get rid of the all-or-nothing attitude. You don’t have to spend hours in a gym or force yourself into boring or painful activities you hate to experience the physical and emotional benefits of exercise. 　38　. In fact, adding just tiny amounts of physical activity to your weekly routine can have a great effect on your mental and physical health.
Be kind to yourself. Don’t punish yourself if you miss a workout. 　39　. If you miss a day, consider it a rest day, and remember there’s always tomorrow. If you have a hard time sticking with your workout routine, just try something different. There are plenty of ways to stay active, and at the end of the day, you will find an exercise routine that works for you.
　40　. You are not out of shape overnight, and you’re not going to instantly transform your body either. Demanding too much, too soon only leads to dissatisfaction. Instead of paying attention only to results, focus on consistency.
A. Let it go and be patient
B. Share the results with others
C. Have reasonable expectations
D. If you really want to make exercise a habit
E. Remember a little exercise is better than nothing
F. If you are having trouble in finding an exercise to do on a daily basis
G. While practical concerns like a busy schedule can make exercise challenging

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。
The concept of comfort zone refers to a psychological state in which we feel safe and do not experience anxiety or fear. It is a “space” that we know completely and in which we control almost everything.
Your comfort zone represents things you're familiar with, your regular haunts, friends you're at ease with, and activities you love doing. Your comfort zone is risk free. It's easy. It doesn't cause you to stretch. Within these boundaries we feel safe and secure.
During my senior year in college I was short of a few credits, so I skimmed through the class schedule looking for something to fill the hours. When I came across “Private Voice Instruction”, as in singing lessons, I thought, “Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try ”
I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn't want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.
Things went fine until the end of the semester when my singing professor brought the shocking news. “By the way, Sean, have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital (音乐演奏会) ” “What do you mean ” I asked in horror.
“Well, the class requirements state that you have to sing at least one time in front of the other private voice students.”
“That would not be a good idea,” I said emphatically.
“Oh, it's no big deal. You'll do fine.”
Well, to me it was a huge deal. The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick. “How am I going to get out of this one ” I thought. But I couldn't allow myself to do that because I had been speaking to various groups over the past year advising them to never let fears make their decisions. Now...I was up to bat.
“Courage, Sean,” I kept rehearsing in my mind. “You've got to at least try.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

This summer, Europe’s most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism (过度旅游). As many destinations move to restrict, fine, ban, charge and protest tourists for bad behavior, Copenhagen is trying a different approach to turning tourism from a negative force to a positive one.
Tourism officials in Copenhagen introduced CopenPay, a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travelers who engage in climate-friendly behaviors, such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts. These include free coffee or a lunch made from locally sourced food, free museum tours and kayak rentals. Green actions have become a currency for enjoying Copenhagen’s free food and cultural experiences.
Mikkel Aar -Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, says the initiative (倡议) is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it. It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.” An important step in this transformation, he said, “is to change how we move around on the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals.”
According to a 2023 sustainable report by Kanter, a London-based market research group, 81% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably, but only 22% have changed their behavior. Mikkel Aar -Hansen views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behavior. “Our vision is to create a ripple effect (连锁效应). We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives, other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
Will Copenhagen’s strategy work Only time will tell. Still, Randy Durband, chief executive of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behavior but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.”
28. How does Copenhagen cope with overtourism
A. By rewarding tourists for their green actions.
B. By providing free public transport for tourists.
C. By charging a heavy fine for tourists’ bad behavior.
D. By limiting the number of tourists in popular attractions.
29. What is CopenPay intended for
A. Improving the city’s image.
B. Promoting sustainable tourism.
C. Increasing income from tourism.
D. Enriching tourists’ travel experiences.
30. What can be inferred about CopenPay from Mikkel Aar -Hansen
A. It only works for a small number of tourists.
B. It pushes the development of global tourism.
C. It has inspired many cities to follow its example.
D. It is expected to spread green tourism initiatives.
31. What is Randy Durband’s attitude towards CopenPay
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.
D
In the digital age, writing by hand is becoming rare as text messages replace handwritten letters. While digital keyboards improve efficiency, research shows that handwriting has cognitive (认知) benefits for both children and adults, and giving up this slower, more personal way of expressing ourselves may come at a significant cost.
Audrey van der Meer, a psychologist at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, suggests that handwriting is a superior process in terms of brain activities compared to typing. Both activities require hand and finger movements, but handwriting involves finer coordination (协调) between motor and visual systems, leading to deeper engagement of different brain systems and better understanding of information. “It lets you make associations between your body and what you’re seeing and hearing, providing more connections for accessing concepts or ideas,” she says.
Audrey and other experts worry that giving up handwriting for typing could have a significant impact on how we all learn and think. For children, relying on keyboards instead of pen and paper may weaken their ability to recognize letters and limit the development of brain areas used during reading. Without handwriting instruction, children’s brains may not reach their full potential. For adults, typing might be more efficient during work, but it often leads to superficial (粗略的) information processing and reduced comprehension abilities, memory, and cognitive connectivity.
During a meeting or lecture, it’s possible to type everything you’re hearing. But often, “you’re not actually processing or organizing that information — you’re just typing blindly,” says Audrey. However, we don’t have to abandon digital tools to take advantage of the power of handwriting. Writing with a digital pen on a screen causes similar brain responses as marking ink on paper. It’s the movement that counts, not its final form.
32. In which aspect do people benefit from handwriting
A. Improving work efficiency.
B. Developing expression skills.
C. Documenting clearer messages.
D. Strengthening cognitive ability.
33. What advantage does handwriting have over typing according to Audrey van der Meer
A. It makes hand muscles more flexible.
B. It forces the brain to engage in creative thinking.
C. It facilitates a better understanding of information.
D. It promotes the brain activities centered on visual data.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The advantages of using digital tools.
B. Ways to develop the brain’s potential.
C. Consequences of abandoning handwriting.
D. The importance of handwriting instruction.
35. Which statement would the author probably agree with
A. The action of writing enables the brain to think.
B. The final form of writing determines our memory.
C. Typing causes similar brain responses as handwriting.
D. Writing with digital pens can weaken one’s learning ability.

It’s a struggle for many of us to get out of the sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle, despite our best intentions. 　36　, the biggest barriers are mental ones. Maybe it’s a lack of self-confidence that keeps you from taking positive steps, or you get easily discouraged and give up.
You already know there are many ways and great reasons to exercise — from improving mood, sleep, and health to reducing anxiety. But knowing how and why to exercise can’t get you starting and sticking to your exercise plan. 　37　, you need to follow these steps which can make exercise less painful and more fun.
Get rid of the all-or-nothing attitude. You don’t have to spend hours in a gym or force yourself into boring or painful activities you hate to experience the physical and emotional benefits of exercise. 　38　. In fact, adding just tiny amounts of physical activity to your weekly routine can have a great effect on your mental and physical health.
Be kind to yourself. Don’t punish yourself if you miss a workout. 　39　. If you miss a day, consider it a rest day, and remember there’s always tomorrow. If you have a hard time sticking with your workout routine, just try something different. There are plenty of ways to stay active, and at the end of the day, you will find an exercise routine that works for you.
　40　. You are not out of shape overnight, and you’re not going to instantly transform your body either. Demanding too much, too soon only leads to dissatisfaction. Instead of paying attention only to results, focus on consistency.
A. Let it go and be patient
B. Share the results with others
C. Have reasonable expectations
D. If you really want to make exercise a habit
E. Remember a little exercise is better than nothing

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。
The concept of comfort zone refers to a psychological state in which we feel safe and do not experience anxiety or fear. It is a “space” that we know completely and in which we control almost everything.
Your comfort zone represents things you're familiar with, your regular haunts, friends you're at ease with, and activities you love doing. Your comfort zone is risk free. It's easy. It doesn't cause you to stretch. Within these boundaries we feel safe and secure.
During my senior year in college I was short of a few credits, so I skimmed through the class schedule looking for something to fill the hours. When I came across “Private Voice Instruction”, as in singing lessons, I thought, “Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try ”
I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn't want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.
Things went fine until the end of the semester when my singing professor brought the shocking news. “By the way, Sean, have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital (音乐演奏会) ” “What do you mean ” I asked in horror.
“Well, the class requirements state that you have to sing at least one time in front of the other private voice students.”
“That would not be a good idea,” I said emphatically.
“Oh, it's no big deal. You'll do fine.”
Well, to me it was a huge deal. The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick. “How am I going to get out of this one ” I thought. But I couldn't allow myself to do that because I had been speaking to various groups over the past year advising them to never let fears make their decisions. Now...I was up to bat.
“Courage, Sean,” I kept rehearsing in my mind. “You've got to at least try.”

Text 10（第 17题为推断题）
When Sean Rafferty first worked in a food store 40 years ago, anything that was not sold got thrown out.(17) But on a recent day at his store near the New York City area, he was preparing boxes of bread, vegetables, and milk products to be picked up by a food bank. It is part of a program in New York State requiring larger businesses to donate food, and, if possible, reuse small, leftover pieces of food.
(18)The U.S. spends about $218 billion each year growing and producing food that is wasted. About 57 million tons goes to waste, including about 47.5 million tons that ends up in landfills. In 2015, the U.S. announced a goal of 50 percent food waste reduction by 2030. That has led to a number of state government efforts, along with smaller, nonprofit efforts.
(19)Ten American states and Washington, D.C. have passed regulations or created policies to reduce or donate waste. Kathryn Bender, an assistant professor of economics, says donation programs are helpful. But she worries they might put a great burden of responsibility on nonprofits, instead of businesses. (20)Bender thinks the best solution to food waste is not to have it in the first place and that we’d better not put all the resources into producing all that food if we don’t need it.

【语篇解读】　文章主要讲述了作者从小喜欢绘画，但因为一次艺术考试的失败而认为自己没有天赋。尽管如此，她仍然保持着对艺术的热爱，继续写作和参观展览。直到四十多岁时，一个梦境启发她开始尝试油画，最终发现更喜欢使用粉笔和墨水。这个经历让她认识到，接受自己的局限并勇于尝试是重要的。
24．推理判断题。根据第二段“In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O - level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I'd been over - confident. Now I'd been declared talentless.（在中学，艺术是我最喜欢的科目。因为我非常喜欢它，所以我认为我很擅长它。为了美术O - level考试我必须提交一幅油画。我觉得很难，但仍希望能通过。我不及格，成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在我被宣布为无才。）”可知作者对美术考试的结果感到很沮丧。故选C。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段“In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn't let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo high form I wasn't allowed to practice.（在我30多岁的时候，我交到了画家朋友，并学会了看待艺术的新方法。然而，我无法让自己真正去做这件事。虽然这些新朋友是使用油画的抽象画家，或者是版画家或雕塑家，但我把油画作为禁忌的高级形式，不允许自己练习。）”可知30多岁时，作者回避油画练习。故选A。
26.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades - long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un - anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.（虽然我很高兴打破了几十年来对使用油画颜料的禁忌，但我发现我现在更喜欢粉笔和墨水。我把我的线条画变成卡通，发给朋友们。一切都是自由和轻松的，没有焦虑。这一次，我可以接受自己的局限，但要继续前进。）”可知作者的梦想是赋予人力量。故选D。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.（成为一个成功的画家需要坚定。我意识到我总是害怕想要太多。那个梦提醒我，那些恐惧和欲望可以鼓励我去冒险，去做实验。）”可知我们能从这篇文章中了解到创造性活动需要自信。故选D。

【语篇解读】　炎炎夏季，正值欧洲旅游旺季。人们纷纷涌向各大景点，享受着旅行的美好。然而，随着旅游人数的增加，一些景点出现了垃圾乱扔的不文明现象。面对过度旅游造成的环境问题，一些国家开始通过对入境游客征收税费来保护旅游资源。然而，丹麦的首都哥本哈根却另辟蹊径，推出了一项名为“CopenPay”的试点项目，旨在通过激励环保出行来重新定义旅游体验。他们是如何做的？
1. A
解题思路：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，CopenPay项目将为采取环保行为的游客提供各种免费礼品和福利，其中包括免费的咖啡或由当地食物制成的午餐，免费的博物馆参观和皮艇租赁等。在哥本哈根，绿色行动成为一种货币，通过它游客们可以享受免费的食物和文化体验。由此可知，哥本哈根应对过度旅游的方式是对采取环保行为的游客进行奖励。故选A项。
2. B
解题思路：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，CopenPay并不是为了促进旅游业，而是为了推广更好的旅游方式。它旨在将旅游业从“环境负担”转变为“积极变革的力量”。Mikkel Aar -Hansen表示，这种转变的重要一步是改变人们在目的地的出行方式、消费方式以及与当地人的互动方式。由此可知，CopenPay旨在促进可持续旅游。故选B项。
3. D
解题思路：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，伦敦市场研究集团Kanter的一份2023年可持续发展报告显示，81%的消费者表示他们希望采取更加可持续的行动，但只有22%的消费者改变了他们的行为。Mikkel Aar -Hansen认为CopenPay是实验性的一步，旨在缩小人们希望采取可持续行动和实际行动之间的差距。他表示，他们的目标是创造连锁效应，希望通过展示这一举措和其他举措的成功，全球其他城市将受到启发，找到鼓励更加可持续旅游行为的方式，最终为每个人创造一个更加可持续的未来。由此可推知，Mikkel Aar -Hansen觉得CopenPay有望传播绿色旅游倡议。故选D项。
4. A
解题思路：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Randy Durband认为，CopenPay没有对不良行为挥拳相向，而是试图让它变得有趣，并给予一些奖励和好处，这一点值得赞扬。由此可推知，Randy Durband对于CopenPay的态度是积极的。故选A项。

37．D
【解析】解题步骤如下:
①分析语境 寻线索 空前指出尽管你知道锻炼的多种方法和重要原因,但这些无法帮助你开始并坚持锻炼计划。空后半句提出需要遵循这些步骤以使锻炼变得不那么痛苦且更有乐趣。由此可知,空处内容应是关于使锻炼变成习惯。
②对比选项 定答案 D项“If you really want to make exercise a habit”提供了一个前提条件,表示如果你真的想要使锻炼成为一种习惯,这与空后提到的需要遵循的步骤紧密相关。因此D项是正确选项。
38．E
【解析】空前提到摒弃极端的态度,你不用长时间待在健身房或强迫自己做自己讨厌的单调或痛苦的活动来体验锻炼对身体和情感的益处。因此,空处需要填入的内容应与对待运动的正确态度有关。E项“Remember a little exercise is better than nothing”与空前提到的极端的态度完美对应,强调即使是少量的锻炼也好过完全不锻炼,且E项中的“a little exercise”与空后的“tiny amounts of physical activity”对应。故选E项。
39．A
【解析】解题步骤如下:
①分析语境 寻线索 空前建议“如果你错过了一次锻炼,不要责怪自己”,这暗示空处填入的内容应与对待错过锻炼的态度有关,尤其是在没有按时每天锻炼时如何保持积极的心态。
②对比选项 定答案 A项中的“Let it go”与前文的态度一致,强调采取一种轻松态度——随它去吧。A项中的 “be patient”呼应后文中的“at the end of the day, you will find an exercise routine that works for you”。因此A项是正确选项。
40．C
【解析】根据最后三段的结构特点可知,本空是本段的主旨句。空后提到“你不是一夜之间变得不健康的,也不可能立刻改变你的身体”,接着指出“要求太多和太快只会导致不满”。这些信息暗示,本段主要讲述的是要有合理的(锻炼)期望。故选C项。
【重点词汇】
intention　　n.打算,意图(Para.1)
discouraged adj.灰心的,丧气的(Para.1)
all-or-nothing adj.极端的(Para.3)
consistency n.一致性,连贯性(Para.5)
at the end of the day 最终,到头来(Para.4)

第三部分 第一节
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文,主题语境是“人与自我”。本文主要介绍了作者家的一个传统——晚餐故事,以及该传统对作者一家的影响。
41．B
【解析】通过第三段中作者对儿子们刚开始在吃晚饭时分享故事的态度的描写“They didn’t make a preparation... they organized their stories on the fly”可知,听到作者的决定时作者的儿子们并不支持。roll one’s eyes表示“翻白眼”,能形象地反映出儿子们当时的态度。shade“给……遮挡(光线)”;shut“关闭,合上”。
42．D
【解析】根据上文中的“Although it was a”和下文中的“due to busy life, my family tried to make it a to have dinner together”可知,由于生活繁忙,作者一家每晚聚在一起吃饭并不是很容易,也就是说这对作者一家来说是一项挑战。dream“梦想”;plan“计划,打算,目标”;tradition“传统”;challenge“挑战,艰巨任务”。
43．A
【解析】根据第一段中的“I announced a new dinnertime practice. All family members must be... of their day”和本空所在句的语境可知,作者一家尽力把一起吃晚饭变成一个惯例。routine“惯例,常规,例行公事”;celebration“庆祝活动”;connection“关联”;model“范例”。
44．A
【解析】根据上文中的“gradually became easy to”和下文中的“all about my sons’ study”可知,渐渐地作者一家晚饭间的谈话都围绕儿子们的学习展开,变得容易预测。predict“预测”;summarize“总结,概括”;control“控制”;understand“理解”。
45．C
【解析】根据上文中作者提到的晚饭间的谈话都围绕儿子们的学习展开,再结合第三段中的“attempting to interest them with my interesting topics”可知,作者认为他们一家需要找到更有吸引力的话题。attractive“吸引人的,令人愉快的”,符合语境。reliable“可信赖的,可靠的”;practical“有用的,切实可行的”;conventional“依照惯例的,遵循习俗的,传统的”。
46．B
【解析】根据第一段中的“All family members must be prepared to... of their day”和下文中的“They didn’t make a preparation”可知,虽然作者的儿子们会按照作者的要求分享故事,但他们并不做准备,没有积极地参与进来。passively“被动地,消极地”,符合语境。enthusiastically“热情地”;occasionally“偶然”;curiously“好奇地”。
47．C
【解析】根据冒号后解释的内容“when it was their turn, they organized their stories on the fly”可知,此处表示这很明显。abnormal“不正常的,反常的”;temporary“临时的,暂时的”;obvious“明显的,显而易见的”;insignificant“微不足道的,无足轻重的”。
48．D
【解析】根据下文中的“attempting to interest them with my interesting topics”和大儿子后来态度的转变(主动当第一个讲晚餐故事的人)可知,作者坚持将晚餐故事进行下去,尝试用有意思的话题吸引儿子们,让他们积极参与其中。carry on“继续做,坚持干”,符合语境。fix up“安排,收拾,整理”;think over“(尤指在作决定前)仔细考虑,慎重思考”;get through“(使)正式通过,获得采纳”。
49．A
【解析】根据上文提到的作者儿子一开始的消极参与及下文中大儿子态度的变化(主动要求第一个分享自己的故事“One night my older son asked, ‘Can I go first I have a story.’”)可知,此处表示幸运的是,这样做起作用了。work“奏效,产生预期的结果(或作用)”;count“重要”;increase“增加”。
50．B
【解析】根据下文中的“what he told all those years ago”可知,过了这么多年作者已经记不清儿子讲的故事内容了。imagine“想象”;recall“记得,记起”;believe“相信”;interpret“诠释,领会”。
51．D
【解析】此处的“dinner conversation full of laughter”和第二段中的“dinner conversations... all about my sons’ study”形成对比,晚餐交流由原来的无趣、一成不变变得充满了欢声笑语。由此可知,现在的晚餐交流妙趣横生。brief“短暂的”;pioneering“开拓性的”;daily“日常的”;entertaining“妙趣横生的”。
52．C
【解析】根据上文中的“dinner conversation full of laughter”“Instead of worrying about parental grilling(盘问)”可知,作者的儿子们不再担心父母盘问,而是放松了下来。relax“放松”,符合语境。complain“抱怨”;concentrate“专心,集中注意力”;mature“成熟”。
53．D
【解析】根据下文中的“our dinner story tradition”和上文对这一家庭传统对作者儿子们的积极影响的描述可知,此处作者问她的儿子们在自己所有的育儿技巧里,他们珍视或喜欢哪一种。dislike“讨厌”;notice“注意到”;recreate“再现,重新创造”;value“珍视”。
54．B
【解析】根据上文中作者问的问题和下文中的“our dinner story tradition”可知,儿子们对作者的问题作出了即时的回答(response)。action“行动”;strategy“策略”;reflection“深思,反省”。
55．C
【解析】通过上文的阅读可知,作者和儿子们是很看重晚餐故事传统的,因此此处表示,作者猜想,等儿子们有了自己的孩子后,这个传统将会继续下去。disappear“消失”;change“改变”;continue“继续”;rise“(变得)更加知名,更加成功”。
【重点单词】kick-start v.启动,促进(Para.3);routine n.惯例,常规(T43);passively adv.消极地,被动地(T46)
【一词多义】shade v.给……遮挡(光线)(T41)
第二节
第56题：“blend...with...”是固定搭配，意为“把……与……混合”，这里表示把历史与现代性融合，所以填“with”。
第57题：这里需要一个副词来修饰动词“opens”，“grand”的副词形式是“grandly”，表示“盛大 地”，所以填“grandly”。
第58题：句子已有谓语动词“is held”，这里“move”要用非谓语动词形式，“move away from...”与句子主语“The opening ceremony”是主动关系，所以用现在分词“moving”作伴随状语。
第59题：根据“circus artists, choreographers, musicians and fashion...”可知，这里指时尚设计师，“design”的名词形式“designer”表示“设计师”，且不止一位设计师，用复数形式“designers”。
第60题：这里考查非限制性定语从句，先行词是“12 major unifying values”，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用“which”引导。
第61题：“and”连接两个并列的形容词，“youthful”是形容词，“create”的形容词形式是“creative”，表示“有创造力的”，所以填“creative”。
第62题：“Each of these symbols”作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，“reflect”的第三人称单数是“reflects”，所以填“reflects”。
第63题：“It is the first time (that) sb./sth. has done sth.”是固定句型，意为“这是某人/某物第一次做某事”，这里“emblem”与“use”是被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态“has been used”。
第64题：“enable sb. to do sth.”是固定短语，意为“使某人能够做某事”，所以填“to feel”。
第65题：“feel the charm of the Olympics”，“witness the glorious moments of the athletes”和“enjoy the unprecedentedly grand and spectacular Olympic event”是并列关系，用“and”连接。

第二节
That frightening day finally arrived. As I entered the classroom, I kept trying to convince myself, "Just cheer up, OK This can't be that bad." Now it was my turn. As I stood in front of the class, which was far away from my comfort zone, I kept repeating to myself, "【高分句型一】Courage! Relax! Take it easy! Just perform your best!" It turned out that I did such a great job that all the students applauded my performance warmly. (作者在众人面前唱歌当天发生的事)
I left the classroom as if a heavy load had been lifted. Although that experience nearly killed me, I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment on my way home. I was so proud of myself and I frankly didn't care what anyone else thought about my performance. 【高分句型二】What really mattered was that I had survived. Stepping out of your comfort zone will never be easy, but afterward you'll always be glad you did it. (作者完成了这一活动后的心里想法)
解析
这是一篇记叙文。作者以亲身经历讲述了如何走出自己的舒适区。每个人都有自己的舒适区，在这个舒适区内，一切都是自己熟悉的，为自己所掌控的，所以会感觉很安全和放松。作者在大四的时候，因为少了几个学分，所以打算找点活动来修满学分。在看到声乐课上的《私人声乐指导》时，想着何不跳出自己的舒适圈，于是报了名。但到期末时才知道自己要在众人面前唱歌，作者想逃避，但最后还是努力做到了。
