An Art Class
When Kelly was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. She didn’t like it at first: the “novice artists”— the kids who hadn’t really done art before — worked mostly with clay, and Kelly was a terrible sculptor (雕塑家).
It wasn’t until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at — charcoal drawing (素描). She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the bits of charcoal back and forth over the paper.
One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel (画架) next to Kelly. Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed — and was good at — and now Sophia was going to outshine her again Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room.
“Hello class,” Miss Grace said. “We’ll continue to work on the project today.”
What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with
Kelly looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it — it was a mess! For a brief moment, Kelly couldn’t actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression.
“I... I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my stuff is just so bad in comparison.”
Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Kelly was shocked. “I’m not talented… Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class!”
Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier of the stuff, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff. I’ve loved your works.”
“I’ve loved yours, too,” Kelly said.
“Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said.
Kelly smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up...” she said, pointing her finger on Sophia’s paper.
Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally.
Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was taking her advice, down to the last line.
17.When Kelly started classes at the art school, she ________.
A. was often pushed by Miss Grace
B. lacked confidence in drawing
C. was not good at the course
D. did not get along with the other kids
18.What did Kelly do in the art class

It Is Never Too Early to Think-and Communicate-like a Scientist
Who is a scientist and what is his job A chemist doing experiments A geologist out studying rocks When most people think about science, they imagine characters making discoveries or finding cures (治疗方法) for new diseases. However, these leave out an extremely important part of the scientific process: communicating — sharing the results of that work.
Imagine if someone discovered something important about a disease. Other scientists need to understand the work well enough to use these new developments to make even more discoveries in the future. The public, too, needs to understand how these discoveries might influence their lives. But none of this will be possible if the work is not shared. Being a scientist goes far beyond the moment of discovery.
Without clear communication, scientists would not be able to use the work that has already been done. So how do scientists tell others about the work that they have done How do they make sure that everything that they share is as clear and correct as possible
Researchers publish their work in scientific journals (期刊). These journals can be read by other researchers around the world. It is very important for these journals, and for the scientists who read them, to make sure that the research included is as correct as possible. In order to do that, articles given to scientific journals before publication first go through a process called peer review. Other scientists who do research in areas related to the work in an article are asked to read through it. Scientists also provide feedback to the writers. They bring up new questions the writer may not have considered, recognize limitations to the results being described, and also make sure that no mistakes were made during the process.
Frontiers for Young Minds is a scientific journal written for — and reviewed by young people. All of the articles in it are based on works already published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. However, while scientists are good at making sure that articles are understandable for other scientists, there are no better experts to make sure that something can be understood by young people than the young people themselves. By working together with an expert, young reviewers read the article to see if any part of the article is hard to understand, make it clear why the experiment was done in the way it was done, and check whether the figures (数据) clearly explain the point of the article.
Basically, these young reviewers learn to think like scientists. It is never too early to start! Ask questions, learn new things, and don’t forget the importance of communicating your findings.
20.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. What is required to be a good scientist.
B. Who should understand a scientist’s job.
C. Why sharing the results of scientific work is important.
D. How scientists make sure their work is clear and correct.
21.From the passage we can know that ________.
A. scientists are good at working together with others
B. young people usually enjoy reading scientific journals
C. in peer review, other scientists bring up questions to readers
D. young reviewers help make articles in Frontiers for Young Minds more readable
22.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A. To introduce how scientists do their jobs.
B. To offer practical advice on how to ask scientific questions.
C. To explain the effects of peer review on scientific journals.
D. To encourage young people to think andcommunicate like scientists.
D
We’ve all experienced failure. Whether we like it or not, failure is part of life. How people respond to it is of great importance both to their decisions and achievements. Some are likely to have such expectations: “If I should reach that goal, how happy would I feel ” In a recent study, we wanted to understand how such expectations may change in the face of failure. Are people able to predict their own happiness
The old saying “the grass is always greener on the other side” suggests that people spend much of their time longing for things they can’t have. In other words, the harder it is to achieve, the higher the valuation. But is this a good model for how ordinary people process failure According to the story The Fox and the Grapes, failure often leads us to drop our initial (最初的) plan. In the story, the fox jumps with all his strength, yet he fails to reach the grapes. Finally, he walks away, concluding that the grapes were sour (酸的) anyway.
So, which is it: greener grass or sour grapes We did an experiment to determine how people react to failure.
In the study, about 1,200 participants (参加者) received either good or poor feedback (反馈) on the practice trial of a test. Half of them were told that they had performed in the bottom 20 percent, while the other half, in the top 20 percent. They were then asked to predict how they would feel if they earned a high score on the actual test.
The research results showed that those who received poor feedback on the practice trial predicted that they would feel less happiness and less pride, compared to those who received strong feedback. However, when they received a top score on the actual test later, they were just as happy as the other half, and much happier than they had predicted before. This suggests that the initial failure made people undervalue how good it would feel to succeed in the future.
The question though, is why failure makes us downplay our future happiness. According to Professor Jon Elster, people don’t always know what they want, and often change their wishes to match what appears within reach. When the outcome doesn’t fit the one they have of themselves, they protect themselves by devaluing the goal—rather than devaluing self. In other words, when personal failure happens, one way of protecting our positive (积极的) sense of self is to refuse to accept the emotional importance of future achievements.
Detachment (超脱) from personal goals can be useful, if it helps people redirect their attention from the impossible to better and more achievable goals. However, if the sour-grape effect kicks in too early and people become fearful of failure, they could miss out on the chance to try again and realize that what once seemed impossible is now within reach.
23.What does the storyThe Fox and the Grapes suggest
A. The outcome valuation depends on what goal is set.
B. Difficulties result in a higher achievement expectation.
C. Past performance doesn’t help predict future happiness.
D. Initial failure makes future success appear less attractive.
24.The word “downplay” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”.
A. undervalue B. better understand
C. destroy D. discover
25.What do we know from the passage
A. The participants cared more about strong feedback.
B. The happier people are those who predict less happiness.
C. The participants’ performance failed to match their abilities.
D. People devalue the goal to keep a positive view of themselves.
26.What is the writer trying to tell us
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Detachment stops people from changing wishes.
C. The seemingly impossible is worth trying sometimes.
D. The sour-grape effect pushes us to keep moving forward.

Humans have long gained pleasure from the smells of the natural world. For the most part, though, human beings are not their target market. For plants, fragrances are a way to interact with insects and other animals. Their attraction for people happens simply by chance.
In chemical terms, most natural fragrances are made up of volatiles — so called because of their tendency to change states suddenly. Volatiles evaporate easily, drifting into noses. In plants’ reproductive processes, smelly volatiles attract pollinators (授粉昆虫). But their natural applications are much more varied. If an insect chews through the leaves of some Bursera plants, out shoots a sticky, smelly liquid to trap it. Coyote tobacco plants are even more crafty: upon sensing the smell of hungry caterpillars, they produce volatiles that attract predators to kill the pests.
What is truly amazing is just how wily plants can be in using their scents for reproduction. White flowers often emit their scent at night to attract nocturnal pollinators such as moths. They produce a dilute nectar (稀释的花蜜) that encourages moths to keep moving, rather than linger at a single bloom—all the better to increase pollination. Other flowers change their fragrance after being successfully pollinated, as a signal for insects to go elsewhere.
But though “Scent” is a story of plants’ cleverness, it is also a tale of the human kind. People have long used fragrances for their own purposes, particularly for use in religious ceremonies: perfume recipes on the walls of an Egyptian temple in Edfu demonstrate just how long ingredients have been mixed in pursuit of the best blend. So highlyprized were some scents that, to scare off competitors, Arab traders spread a legend about giant eagles that guarded cinnamon.
Eventually scientists no longer needed natural sources for fragrances. In 1866 a fragrance molecule was produced for the first time. Sixteen years later, Houbigant Parfum released Fougère Royale, the first “modern fantasy perfume” that creates an imaginary scent rather than copying a natural one. Nowadays fragrance–making is dominated by man–made compounds, which can be reliably and affordably produced in large quantities.
That has led to the mass production of smelly products, from toilet paper to toothpaste. Scent is accordingly big business. It is said that a world–famous fragrance and flavour manufacturer that claims people interact with its products up to 30 times a day, had sales of 3.8bn last year.
27.According to Paragraph 1 and 2, which would the author agree with
A. Some plants might kill the pests with their smells.
B. Fragrance is a tool for plants to protect themselves.
C. People interact with nature easily through fragrance.
D. Fragrances are less important to humans than to animals and insects.
28.What does the underlined word “prized” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Developed. B. Rewarded. C. Mixed. D. Valued.
29.What can we learn from the passage
A. Humans do not use fragrances as purposefully as plants do.
B. Natural sources for fragrances will be out of date in the future.
C. Plants use fragrances to both attract and send away pollinators.
D. Man–made fragrances have to be produced by copying natural ones.
30.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Plants Smell, Insects Prey
B. Smartness behind Fragrance
C. Fragrance: To Make or Not to Make
D. Fragrance Connects Human & Nature

My Understanding of Money
I used to walk around the store with my parents constantly begging for something. I remember the sight of all the colorful bags of chips and candy that I asked my parents to buy for me. I cannot remember a time when I didn’t beg for something at the store.
When I was about twelve years old, my dad always 31 my begging and told me with a frustrated (使人挫败的) face, “You can waste all the money as you want when you have a job.” I listened, but I never really heard the 32 he was trying to get across to me. Since I wanted so many things and my parents were not going to buy them for me, I decided to make money as a 33 myself. I remember the feeling of getting new money in my pocket, then throwing it out within the next week.
A few years later, I was a freshman in high school and did not feel like looking for a new job. One day, I saw people handing out flyers (传单) at school. I wasn’t 34 at first because I thought I was fine making money by babysitting. But once I 35 thought about the money I could make, I applied to work as a lifeguard advertised on the flyer.
After a few months’ training, I could finally start the job. But the more money I made; the less I wanted to spend. As the work and pay increased, so did my responsibility with money.Instead of 36 my money on useless things, I started saving up. I finally realized that money meant so much more to me because I was the one 37 for it. Now, I have 5,000 dollars in my bank account, and I limit myself to what I buy. My life has permanently (持久地) been influenced because I know the 38 of money. It is more than what I can spend.

四、阅读表达：本大题共1小题，共10分。
39.Doctors in Bristol can send patients on a free course from this month, which uses stand-up comedy to help patients who are fighting with trauma (创伤). The course was pioneered by a comedian, Angie Belcher.
It’s believed that comedy is in every one of us, and we are all born comedians. Every night we come home from work and tell our family what our days were like, but on the way home we’ll work on the details, and try to make our stories funnier to amuse our families. According to Angie Belcher, professional comedy education is to give people the tools to make the stories better. The course is a combination of psychology (心理学), comedy and storytelling and it will last six weeks.
In fact, past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of our lives, but from our everyday life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences, such as the death of a close friend and poor health, often can’t wait to share their stories, mostly because there’s always something strangely funny about the situation. Experts say that we can accept and honor the comedy of a situation, as much as the sadness of it. It’s a short period of rest from something unpleasant.
Angie, who has a master’s degree in psychology, says the course is for anyone who is ready to explore their trauma through comedy. It can be taken by people in recovery from mental health problems and people who’ve had trauma. There’s lots of one-to-one help in the room too.The comedians give people a hand to write their comedy and explore some dark times from their history.
While the course can’t take the place of medical treatment, talking about our trauma in a funny way indeed edy can help to build community. When we bring our stories alive for others, it makes other people feel less alone. Having our experiences mirrored back to us is hugely comforting.
(1) Who pioneered the free course _______________________________________________________________________
(2) How long will the course last ________________________________________________________________________
(3) Where does comedy come from according to the passage _______________________________________________________________________
(4) Your friend Peter is now going through a trauma. Would you like to advise him to take the course mentioned in the passage Why or why not _______________________________________________________________________

23~26.【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了人面对失败时的反应和期望的变化。
1. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的According to the story The Fox and the Grapes, failure often leads us to drop our initial (最初的) plan.（根据《狐狸和葡萄》的故事，失败常常导致我们放弃最初的努力计划。）可推知，这个故事讲的就是狐狸在达不到自己最开始的计划时，它选择了放弃，失败让未来可能的成功显得并不那么吸引人。故选D。
2. 词句猜测题。根据第六段中的This suggests that the initial failure made people undervalue how good it would feel to succeed in the future. The question though, is why failure makes us downplay our future happiness.（这表明，最初的失败让人们低估了未来成功的感觉。但问题是，为什么失败会让我们低估未来的幸福感。）可知，此处“downplay”与上文中的“undervalue”同义，意思是“低估”。故选A。
3. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When the outcome doesn’t fit the one they have of themselves, they protect themselves by devaluing the goal—rather than devaluing self.(当结果不适合他们自己时，他们通过贬低目标来保护自己，而不是贬低自己)”可知，人们通过贬低目标来保护自己，以保持对自己的积极看法。故选D项。根据倒数第二段中的When the outcome doesn't fit the one they have of themselves, they protect themselves by devaluing the goal—rather than devaluing self.（当结果与他们自己的结果不相符时，他们通过贬低目标来保护自己——而不是贬低自己。）可知，人们贬低目标是为了保持对自己的积极看法。故选D。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的However, if the sour-grape effect kicks in too early and people become fearful of failure, they could miss out on the chance to try again and realize that what once seemed impossible is now within reach.（然而，如果酸葡萄效应过早出现，人们开始害怕失败，他们可能会错过再次尝试的机会，并意识到曾经看似不可能的事情现在已经触手可及。）可知，作者想告诉我们，有时候，看似不可能的事情值得一试。故选C。
27~30.【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。对植物来说，香味是与昆虫和其他动物互动的一种方式。它们对人的吸引力完全是偶然发生的。文章主要介绍了植物是如何通过香味来保护自己以及繁殖的。
1. 推理判断题。根据第二段中If an insect chews through the leaves of some Bursera plants，out shoots a sticky，smelly liquid to trap it.Coyote tobacco plants are even more crafty：upon sensing the smell of hungry caterpillars，they produce volatiles that attract predators to kill the pests.（如果一只昆虫咬穿了一些Bursera植物的叶子，就会喷出一种粘性的、有臭味的液体来困住它。土狼烟草植物甚至更狡猾：一旦嗅到饥饿毛虫的气味，它们就会产生挥发物，吸引捕食者杀死害虫）可推知，作者认同香味是植物保护自己的工具。故选B。
2. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文to scare off competitors，Arab traders spread a legend about giant eagles that guarded cinnamon（为了吓跑竞争对手，阿拉伯商人传播了一个关于守护肉桂的巨鹰的传说，可见有些香料非常珍贵，让商人通过传说来吓跑竞争对手。）故划线词意思是“宝贵的”。A.Developed发展的；B.Rewarded有回报的；C.Mixed混合的；D.Valued宝贵的。故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据第三段内容（真正令人惊奇的是植物在利用它们的气味进行繁殖时是多么的狡猾。白花通常在夜间散发气味，以吸引夜间传粉者，如飞城。它们产生稀释的花蜜，鼓励飞蛾不断移动，而不是停留在一个单一的花期，这更好地增加授粉。其他花朵在成功授粉后会改变它们的香味，作为昆虫转移到其他地方的信号。）可知，植物利用香味来吸引和赶走传粉者。故选C。
4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的For the most part, though, human beings are not their target market. For plants, fragrances are a way to interact with insects and other animals. Their attraction for people happens simply by chance.（对植物来说，香味是与昆虫和其他动物互动的一种方式。它们对人的吸引力完全是偶然发生的。）可知，文章主要介绍了植物通过香味来保护自己和繁殖。可知，B选项（香味背后的聪明机智）是最合适的标题。故选B。
31~38.【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了自己小时候央求父母给自己买零食，却遭到父亲的拒绝，于是自己当保姆赚钱。后来作者申请了别的兼职，赚的钱越来越多，深感赚钱不易，学会了存钱，对钱的价值有了新的理解。

4. 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你的朋友彼得现在正经历创伤。你想建议他修这篇文章中提到的课程吗？为什么或为什么不呢？答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：是的，我建议彼得修这门课。因为该课程是为有创伤的人设计的，通过喜剧提供一对一的帮助来探索创伤。它通过在日常生活事件中寻找幽默来帮助人们接受自己的经历，建立社区，让他们感到不那么孤独，这对康复来说是一种安慰和支持。故答案为：Yes, I would advise Peter to take the course.
