home was far from the hospital. Even worse, there were no doctors in her village. Marie asked Dr
Wang to save her mother. Dr Wang took her medical box and went to Marie’s home.
They had to climb several hills. They didn’t reach the village until midnight. When they got
there, Dr Wang gave her mother an operation at once, but she wasn’t able to save the woman
because she had lost too much blood. The baby was saved. Marie’s father was so poor that he had

In the past I was a pessimist (悲观主义者), thinking that the worst thing might happen in
every situation.
Last year, my mother had a serious illness. I felt my whole world turn upside down and I
had no idea what I could do to help her with her pain. I often cried when I was alone.
Last month, I lost an expensive dress that was a birthday present from my father. I could
not fall asleep for a few nights because I felt so terrible about the loss.
There have been many things like these in my life. I really knew what life was after I read If
You Have a Lemon, Make a Lemonade (柠檬汁) by an American writer, Dale Carnegie.
“When the wise man is handed a lemon, he asks: ‘How can I turn this lemon into a
lemonade How can I improve my situation What lesson can I learn from this ’” he wrote.
I suddenly realized that life is full of ups and downs, so I decided to stay positive (积极的)
all the time.
Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have done things differently. When my mother
was fighting with her illness, I should have held her hands in mine, telling her that things would
get better instead of hiding and crying.
Recently, I took part in a school singing competition. I didn’t win a prize. If I had not read
the article, I would be sad again. But I smiled after the competition because at least, I had got
some experience in the singing competition.
Life is not just a bed of roses. There are thorns (刺 ) as well, but these thorns help us
become braver and better. When life offers us a lemon, let’s try to make a lemonade.
36．What kind of thing might happen in every situation, according to a pessimist
A．The best thing B．The happiest thing. C．The latest thing. D．The worst thing.
37．The birthday present that the writer lost was from ________.
A．her father B．her brother C．her mother D．her sister
38．Which picture expresses the writer’s final understanding of life
A． B． C． D．
39．What can we learn from the text
A．The writer looked after her sick mother well. B．Lemons tasted more delicious in the
past.
C．Thorns in life can help us become better. D．The singing competition made the writer sad.
40．What would be the best title for the text
A．An Article I Enjoy Most B．A Bed of Roses
C．A Great Singing Competition D．Turning a Lemon into a Lemonade

D
①Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking his lunch;
sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be seen on the
14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which makes his
parents worry about him so much.
②His parents’ worries are easy to understand. It is widely accepted that being alone is a
symbol of being left out and can bring a lot of trouble. Most people believe teenagers who are
usually alone do have few friends and are unable to fit in with other people. At the same time, they
are at greater risk (风险) of having mental problems.
③However, a new study by some researchers at Wilmington College, shows that this may
not always be true. Whether it is bad for teenagers or not depends on the reasons why teenagers
are alone. If it is their choice, it may play an active role in their personal growth.
④According to their study, when teenagers choose to think alone, they put 100% of their
attention into what is in their mind and are more likely to experience deeper thoughts and feelings
than working with others. They may have a greater chance to create something new. In this way
they can better develop their creativity (创造力).
⑤On the other hand, the ongoing noise children’s brains receive every day can put great
stress on them and make it hard for them to focus. Being alone lets them shut themselves off from
the noisy outside world and think about what’s best for them. Slowly they improve their ability to
focus.
⑥As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased (有偏见的) against being alone. Maybe
it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter’s situation before we say what’s happening to him.
41．Peter’s parents worry about him so much because ______.
A．he spends most of his time in the dining hall
B．he doesn’t have enough time for his lunch at school
C．he often sits alone to have his lunch in the dining hall
D．he doesn’t enjoy his meal at lunchtime in the dining hall
42．According to the study by the researchers, being alone ______.
A．is often a symbol of loneliness
B．never causes mental problems
C．always improves teenagers’ focus
D．may develop teenagers’creativity
43．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
44．What may be the writer’s opinion according to the passage
A．Peter spends most of his school time alone.
B．Choosing to be alone is a symbol of being left out.
C．Peter usually spends his time alone to improve his focus.
D．More people will have a deeper understanding of being alone in the future.
45．We can probably read this passage from a ______.
A．guidebook B．research report
C．teenager’s diary D．cultural magazine
【答案】41．C 42．D 43．C 44．D 45．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从喜欢独处的 Peter 让父母担心的事实引出新的研究表明
喜欢独处的人可能更容易集中注意力，可能更好地培养其创造力。
41．细节理解题。根据“Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking
his lunch; sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be
seen on the 14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which
makes his parents worry about him so much.”可知 Peter 总是独自去餐厅，独自吃午饭，花费他
的大多数时间独处使他的父母担心，故选 C。
42．细节理解题。根据“According to their study, when teenagers choose to think alone,...They
may have a greater chance to create something new. In this way they can better develop their
creativity”可知根据新的研究，青少年独处可能有更好的机会创造新东西，更好地发展他们
的创造力，故选 D。
43．篇章结构题。根据文章可知第一段列举 Peter 的事例，第二段进一步介绍 Peter 的父母
的担忧，引出人们认为的青少年独处的危害，第三段至第五段介绍新的研究表明青少年独处
可能对青少年有益，第六段进一步阐述我们应该打破对青少年独处的偏见，故选 C。
44．推理判断题。根据“As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased against being alone.
Maybe it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter’s situation before we say what’s happening
to him.”可知作者认为我们的文化总是对独处有偏见，该是重新认识这一问题的时候了，所
以推断作者相信在未来大多数人对独处将会有一个更深刻的理解，故选 D。
45．推理判断题。根据全文可知文章介绍了针对青少年独处的新的研究结果，所以我们有可
能在一份研究报告中读到这篇文章。故选 B。
四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文, 请根据短文内容, 在文后表格中填入恰当的单词, 每空 一
词。 (共 10 空；每空 1. 5 分, 满分 15 分)
Many students think about how to make the best use of their time while studying. But what
comes before study can be important too—especially if you want to improve your memory of
what you have learned.
Exercise
Doing aerobic（有氧的）exercise before you study may help you better remember what you
learn. Other studies suggest the importance of different kinds of exercise.
A study shows that a group of young people who did 15 minutes of high-intensity（高强度
的）training remembered more words. Some studies have also shown high-intensity exercise can
help improve the memory of old people. High-intensity exercise may be so helpful. Both long,
slow exercise and high-intensity exercise may have good influences on memory.
Location
Location is also important for improving your learning. While it is good to have a desk or a
special study area, someone suggests that changing the place where you study could help you
remember more of what you study. The reason is that our memories sometimes depend on things
in our environment. For example, a book might make you think of something interesting or
strange when you read it. You do not have to change locations every day, but try to at least
sometimes.
Pre-study
A third way you can improve your study is taking a pre-study test. It is one of the best ways
if it’s difficult for you to remember new information. In 2018, research workers found that those
who took a pre-study test before they learn a new material did much better than after studying the
material. The students failed on the tests. But they were better able to remember the material than
those who were only asked to read the information.
Title：Ways to 46 your memory of what you have learned
● Aerobic exercise may help you remember what you learn 47 .
● High-intensity exercise can help improve the old people’s 48 . Exercise
● 49 both long，slow exercise and high-intensity exercise have a good
influence on memory.
● 50 the place where you study could help you remember more of what
you study.
Location ●Things in your environment influence our memories 51 time to time.
You’ll find that a book might make you think of something interesting or strange
when 52 it.●You 53 change locations every day.
●Pre-study tests are the best way because they can help you remember new
information 54 . Pre-study

【答案】例文
Dear Tom,
How’s everything going I’m excited to share my three-day hometown trip with you.
On the first day, I went back to my hometown with my parents. I noticed many changes
there—new roads were built and the environment became cleaner. In the evening, we had a big
dinner with our relatives. At dinner, my mum told me not to start eating until everyone was ready.
Besides, we should wait for everyone to finish before leaving the table.
The next day, my family visited a famous mountain nearby. We climbed to the top and
enjoyed the places of natural beauty. There was also an ancient temple where we learned about the
local history. Finally, I spent a whole day reading Journey to the West. The Monkey King’s
adventures fascinated me. I realized teamwork is important when facing difficulties.
Ths holiday gave me both family warmth and knowledge growth.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

Dr Wang from China volunteered to go to poor villages of Africa to help the people in need.
She gave out food and money to the children. She found a girl named Marie putting the food into
an old box instead of eating it, so she asked her why she did so. The girl told her she wanted to
take the bread back home for her mother. Her mother would give birth to a baby soon and her
home was far from the hospital. Even worse, there were no doctors in her village. Marie asked Dr
Wang to save her mother. Dr Wang took her medical box and went to Marie’s home.
They had to climb several hills. They didn’t reach the village until midnight. When they got
there, Dr Wang gave her mother an operation at once, but she wasn’t able to save the woman
because she had lost too much blood. The baby was saved. Marie’s father was so poor that he had
no money to raise his baby, so Dr Wang decided to bring up the child.
When she returned home, her husband couldn’t understand why she brought back a black
baby.
From then on, the baby lived with the doctor’s family. When people asked Dr Wang why
she did this, she said that if everyone gave true love to others, the world would be more beautiful.

In the past I was a pessimist (悲观主义者), thinking that the worst thing might happen in
every situation.
Last year, my mother had a serious illness. I felt my whole world turn upside down and I
had no idea what I could do to help her with her pain. I often cried when I was alone.
Last month, I lost an expensive dress that was a birthday present from my father. I could
not fall asleep for a few nights because I felt so terrible about the loss.
There have been many things like these in my life. I really knew what life was after I read If
You Have a Lemon, Make a Lemonade (柠檬汁) by an American writer, Dale Carnegie.
“When the wise man is handed a lemon, he asks: ‘How can I turn this lemon into a
lemonade How can I improve my situation What lesson can I learn from this ’” he wrote.
I suddenly realized that life is full of ups and downs, so I decided to stay positive (积极的)
all the time.
Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have done things differently. When my mother
was fighting with her illness, I should have held her hands in mine, telling her that things would
get better instead of hiding and crying.
Recently, I took part in a school singing competition. I didn’t win a prize. If I had not read
the article, I would be sad again. But I smiled after the competition because at least, I had got
some experience in the singing competition.
Life is not just a bed of roses. There are thorns (刺 ) as well, but these thorns help us
become braver and better. When life offers us a lemon, let’s try to make a lemonade.
36．What kind of thing might happen in every situation, according to a pessimist
A．The best thing B．The happiest thing. C．The latest thing. D．The worst thing.
37．The birthday present that the writer lost was from ________.
A．her father B．her brother C．her mother D．her sister
38．Which picture expresses the writer’s final understanding of life
A． B． C． D．
39．What can we learn from the text
A．The writer looked after her sick mother well. B．Lemons tasted more delicious in the
past.
C．Thorns in life can help us become better. D．The singing competition made the writer sad.
40．What would be the best title for the text
A．An Article I Enjoy Most B．A Bed of Roses
C．A Great Singing Competition D．Turning a Lemon into a Lemonade

①Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking his lunch;
sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be seen on the
14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which makes his
parents worry about him so much.
②His parents’ worries are easy to understand. It is widely accepted that being alone is a
symbol of being left out and can bring a lot of trouble. Most people believe teenagers who are
usually alone do have few friends and are unable to fit in with other people. At the same time, they
are at greater risk (风险) of having mental problems.
③However, a new study by some researchers at Wilmington College, shows that this may
not always be true. Whether it is bad for teenagers or not depends on the reasons why teenagers
are alone. If it is their choice, it may play an active role in their personal growth.
④According to their study, when teenagers choose to think alone, they put 100% of their
attention into what is in their mind and are more likely to experience deeper thoughts and feelings
than working with others. They may have a greater chance to create something new. In this way
they can better develop their creativity (创造力).
⑤On the other hand, the ongoing noise children’s brains receive every day can put great
stress on them and make it hard for them to focus. Being alone lets them shut themselves off from
the noisy outside world and think about what’s best for them. Slowly they improve their ability to
focus.
⑥As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased (有偏见的) against being alone. Maybe
it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter’s situation before we say what’s happening to him.
41．Peter’s parents worry about him so much because ______.
A．he spends most of his time in the dining hall
B．he doesn’t have enough time for his lunch at school
C．he often sits alone to have his lunch in the dining hall
D．he doesn’t enjoy his meal at lunchtime in the dining hall
42．According to the study by the researchers, being alone ______.
A．is often a symbol of loneliness
B．never causes mental problems
C．always improves teenagers’ focus
D．may develop teenagers’creativity
43．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
44．What may be the writer’s opinion according to the passage
A．Peter spends most of his school time alone.
B．Choosing to be alone is a symbol of being left out.
C．Peter usually spends his time alone to improve his focus.
D．More people will have a deeper understanding of being alone in the future.
45．We can probably read this passage from a ______.
A．guidebook B．research report
C．teenager’s diary D．cultural magazine
四、任务型阅读 阅读下面短文, 请根据短文内容, 在文后表格中填入恰当的单词, 每空 一
词。 (共 10 空；每空 1. 5 分, 满分 15 分)
Many students think about how to make the best use of their time while studying. But what
comes before study can be important too—especially if you want to improve your memory of
what you have learned.
Exercise
Doing aerobic（有氧的）exercise before you study may help you better remember what you
learn. Other studies suggest the importance of different kinds of exercise.
A study shows that a group of young people who did 15 minutes of high-intensity（高强度
的）training remembered more words. Some studies have also shown high-intensity exercise can
help improve the memory of old people. High-intensity exercise may be so helpful. Both long,
slow exercise and high-intensity exercise may have good influences on memory.
Location
Location is also important for improving your learning. While it is good to have a desk or a
special study area, someone suggests that changing the place where you study could help you
remember more of what you study. The reason is that our memories sometimes depend on things
in our environment. For example, a book might make you think of something interesting or
strange when you read it. You do not have to change locations every day, but try to at least
sometimes.
Pre-study
A third way you can improve your study is taking a pre-study test. It is one of the best ways
if it’s difficult for you to remember new information. In 2018, research workers found that those
who took a pre-study test before they learn a new material did much better than after studying the
material. The students failed on the tests. But they were better able to remember the material than
those who were only asked to read the information.
Title：Ways to 46 your memory of what you have learned
● Aerobic exercise may help you remember what you learn 47 .
● High-intensity exercise can help improve the old people’s 48 . Exercise
● 49 both long，slow exercise and high-intensity exercise have a good
influence on memory.
● 50 the place where you study could help you remember more of what
you study.
Location ●Things in your environment influence our memories 51 time to time.
You’ll find that a book might make you think of something interesting or strange
when 52 it.●You 53 change locations every day.
●Pre-study tests are the best way because they can help you remember new
information 54 . Pre-study
●Students who had a pre-study test remember the material better than those who
teachers 55 to read the information.
