Anger Is a Gift
“Mom, where are you I’ve been waiting for 10 minutes.” I shouted into the phone.
“Honey, sorry. I left the office a bit late and the 51 caused really bad traffic, but I…”
I hung up. Conversations like this happen every week. Being a teen is 52
enough, and my parents often make me feel less important than their work.
第 4页/共 12页
In second grade, I broke my arm on the slide. When the school nurse called my mom, she was too 53 to
answer. When the phone call 54 my father, he sighed (叹息) and said, “I’m in the middle of research.” I sat
in the nurse’s office for hours, before my parents finally 55 to take me to hospital.

It dawned on me that my anger was merely a mask for me to 61 my loneliness and disappointment. But
facing one’s 62 need is the first step towards being happier. This concept not only helped things between my
parents and me but also enabled me to handle conflicts and emotions. I started to pay attention to other people’s
63 . When an angry customer approached me at my volunteering job, he was saying, “I need more service.” When
a homeless person shouted to me in a parking lot, he was simply saying, “I need food and help.”
I am now able to see 64 the fog of anger and see the real face and heart of the person.
Five minutes after I hung up on her, my mom’s car finally appeared through the fog. She rolled down her window
and said, “Let’s go to a hotpot place, shall we ” I 65 , “OK, but promise me you won’t be late again.”

In early autumn I applied for admission to college. I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my
mother fought strongly against it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of
Cornell, she tore it up.
“You can’t say it’s not a great university, just because Papa went there.”
“That’s not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t
afford to send you to college.”
“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa Things
aren’t that bad, are they ”
“No,” she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”
Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop. His chief customers were his old
college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the
local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers
was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资)
could show returns. What’s more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful. Otherwise they could not
possibly have managed their lives so badly.
I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their
mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted. After months of hard study I won a full college
scholarship. My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

Humans’ over-consumption of resources is a leading contributor to global climate change, says University of
第 7页/共 12页
Arizona researcher Sabrina Helm. Therefore, it’s increasingly important to understand the choices consumers make
and how those decisions affect the health of a planet with limited resources. In a new study, published in the journal
Young Consumers, Helm and her colleagues explore how materialistic values influence pro-environmental
behaviors in millennials, who are now the nation’s most influential group of consumers.
The researchers focused on two main categories of pro-environmental behaviors: reduced consumption, which
includes actions like repairing instead of replacing older items; and “green buying” or purchasing products
designed to limit environmental impacts. The researchers also looked at how engaging in pro-environmental
behaviors affects consumer well-being.
More materialistic participants, the researchers found, were unlikely to engage in reduced consumption.
However, materialism did not seem to have an effect on their likelihood of practicing “green buying” That’s
probably because “green buying” unlike reduced consumption, still offers a way for materialists to fulfill their
desire to get new items, Helm said.
Study participants who reported having fewer materialistic values were much more likely to engage in reduced
consumption. Consuming less was, in turn, linked to higher personal well-being and lower psychological suffering.
Green buying—which may have some positive environmental effects, although to a smaller degree than reduced
consumption—was not found to improve consumer well-being, Helm said.
The take-home message for consumers: “The key is to reduce consumption and not just buy green stuff. Having
less and buying less can actually make us more satisfied and happier,” Helm said. “If you have a lot of stuff, you
have a lot on your mind,” she said. “For example, it requires maintenance and there’s a lot of burdens of ownership,
and if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better and freer.”
Helm and her colleagues additionally looked at how materialism affects millennial consumers’ proactive
financial behaviors, such as budgeting and saving. Examining financial behaviors alongside pro-environmental
behaviors provides a picture of how young adults proactively deal with resource limitations in two contexts:
environmental and financial, Helm said.
As expected, Helm and her colleagues found that those who reported having more materialistic values engaged
in fewer proactive financial behaviors than their less materialistic counterparts (对应的人). The researchers also
found that, consistent with previous studies, proactive financial behaviors were associated with better personal
well-being, life satisfaction and financial satisfaction, as well as lower psychological suffering.
Understanding how materialistic values impact consumer behaviors, and how those behaviors in turn affect
personal and environmental well-being, is important, Helm said. However, she acknowledges that for many
consumers, shifting behaviors to be more financially proactive and consume less will be challenging.
73. What do we know about pro-environmental behaviors
A. They are affected by materialism.
B. They lead to a more satisfying life.
C. They vary in different age groups.
D. They are a cause of climate change.
74. It can be learned from Helm’s study that .
A. ownership of green products brings a sense of happiness
B. materialists prefer practicing green buying to buying less
第 8页/共 12页
C. green buying helps control people’s desire to buy new items
D. buying less and green buying have similar effects on people
75. According to the study, which of the following can improve one’s well-being
A. Being careful with expenses. B. Developing new resources.
C. Buying greener products. D. Replacing older items.
76. What is Helm probably going to explain in the next paragraph
A. When people develop proactive financial behaviors.
B. Which financial behaviors lead to mental well-being.
C. Why it is hard to change people’s financial behaviors.
D. How materialistic values influence financial behaviors.

Awe is not an everyday emotion. You don’t wake up awestruck. A satisfying lunch doesn’t leave you filled
with awe. Even a great day is unlikely to leave you in a state of breathtaking, all-knowing fear and trembling.
Then what is awe Psychologists Dacher Keltner and Jonathan Haidt suggested that awe typically includes
feelings of grandness. That means awe is inspired by something larger than a person’s self or experience. And it
usually helps expand the person’s understanding of the world. For example, awe might come from seeing a
mountain taller than you thought a mountain could be. Or it might come from listening to a symphony that contains
both shockingly loud and touchingly quiet notes. People can be awe-inspiring, too: think of meeting a political
leader whose power seems limitless.
In order to find out more about the mysterious feeling, the psychologists laid out a research plan. In the years
since, they and other researchers have been testing awe. What is it How does it work What seems awesome, and
why For the first time, they’re starting to understand both what awe does to us and what it might do for us.
When psychologists first started studying awe, one of the unanswered questions was: What do we look like
when we’re feeling it Emotions come with facial expressions.
Keltner and two workmates guessed that an awe-filled person would widen her eyes and raise her head, eyes
and eyebrows, just a bit. And they were on track. When they asked people to perform
awe, they found that people indeed often raised their eyebrows and widened their eyes.
They also opened their mouths and dropped their jaws.
Another question was the purpose of the emotion. “We developed emotions to help us
deal with and survive certain dangers,” explains Craig Anderson, a student in Keltner’s lab, “When people are
scared, they freeze or run away. People that behaved like that tended to survive long enough.” In the same way,
awe should have some sort of reason for existing.
So far, it seems that the purpose of awe might draw people together. When people are awestruck, they feel like
time has slowed down somehow, and when they feel so, they are more willing to use it to help others. The study
also shows that awe promotes generosity. It improves people’s moral decision making. A paper still under review
indicates that awe can make people more modest, too.
“We actually experience awe a lot more often than we think,” says one of the researchers, Rudd, “We meet
something in the big wide world, our minds open as we look for an explanation, and as a result we open up to
connecting to other people. But if you are keeping yourself in your own small world, it’s going to be hard to
第 9页/共 12页
experience that feeling. Just go out into newness and you’re going to be more likely to run into something that’s
awe-inspiring.”
77. According to Keltner and Haidt, which of the following can most likely inspire awe
A. Eating Beijing duck at Quanjude Restaurant.
B. Listening to a pleasant flute solo in a famous bar.
C. Enjoying a sound sleep after an extremely tiring day.
D. Seeing a huge elephant up close in its natural setting.
78. What does the underlined part “they were on track” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. They came across unexpected data.
B. They were anxious about the result.
C. They were right about what they had thought.
D. They changed their research methods.
79. What can we infer from the passage
A. We should try to avoid awe because it can fill people with fear.
B. Awe is a complicated feeling and no one can understand it.
C. We should try to feel awe because it helps us survive.
D. Awe is socially beneficial and we should be open to it.
80. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To move readers with touching stories about awe.
B. To explain what awe is and what it brings to people.
C. To show awe functions differently from other emotions.
D. To persuade readers to experience awe as much as possible.

Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your
exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. 81
Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation
time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and
generally improve your performance. 82 You may also feel that other people are managing the exam
better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have
revised.
83 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly
anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you
fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test 84
Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel
more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety.

85 You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling.
Besides, allocating(分配 ) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started.
Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!
D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.

A
Professor Mayer, 86 (recognize) by many as a leading expert in the study of changes to people’s EQs,
recently announced the results of a study on senior secondary school students. When students 87 (introduce)
to those who had disabilities, they found that, afterwards, the non-disabled students were more willing to help
people with pared to students who had not been involved in the study, they also showed a better
understanding of the disabled students’ feelings. There was also an obvious change in the disabled students’
attitudes. They became more positive about life and 88 (willing) to try new things.
B
In fact, 89 (plan) to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn't practical
anymore. One reason for this is technology. The skills you have now 90 (be) unlikely to remain relevant and
be enough 91 (help) you through your entire career. In fact, they will probably be out of date very soon. And
then what will you do Work hard Win the lottery Hope for the best You might be lucky. These 92
(strategy) might bring you a nice, comfortable life: working at a job you like, earning a decent salary and retiring
while you’re still young and healthy. But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”.

“Because that creature is made of steel!” I moved myself quickly to the top of the being, and kicked it. It was
evidently a hard, solid body. The black back 93 supported me was smooth, polished, nothing like an animal.
The blow produced a sound of metal; and, incredible though it may be, it seemed as if it was made of metal plates.
This monster was a human construction. We were lying upon the back of a sort of underwater boat. I searched all
over the outside for an opening, a hole, 94 found nothing. At last this long night passed. Daybreak appeared.
Suddenly, a noise came 95 inside the boat. One iron plate was moved, a man appeared, uttered an odd cry,
and disappeared immediately. Some moments after, eight strong men, their faces covered, appeared noiselessly,
and drew us down into their incredible machine.
