A
Asia is the birthplace of the world's three ancient civilizations：ancient China，ancient India and Babylon.Each gave the world different architectural styles and global landmarks，such as the Great Wall of China.Taj Mahal of India.With the conclusion of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilization，let's take a look at the architecture of Asian civilizations.
The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is an ancient defense project with the longest construction time and the largest workload put into a landmark，stretching out to a total length of more than 5，000 kilometers.Only when you have been to the Great Wall and witnessed its majesty can you truly say you have visited China.
Angkor Wat，Cambodia
The Angkor Wat in Cambodia is one of the largest religious monuments in the world，built on a site measuring 162.6 hectares.It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura （present-day Angkor），the capital of the Khmer Empire，as his state temple and eventual mausoleum（陵墓）.
Taj Mahal，India
The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra.It was commissioned in 1632 by Mughalemperor Shah to house the tomb of his favorite wife，Mumtaz Mahal.The Taj Mahal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being "the jewel ofMuslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."
AI-Khazneh，Jordan
AI-Khazneh，also known as the Treasury，is one of the most delicate temples in the ancient Arab Nabataean Kingdom city of Petra，Jordan.The 45-meter-high and 30-meter-wide building is a magnificent building with a pronounced Greek style.It is said to have been a place where pirates hid their treasure.

I've been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.
It's a unique tree.In late September or early October，falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls（头骨） of you，your children，your neighbors and those that reside next door to them.Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August，and as for me，I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.
The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy.It's poisonous to several common plants.There have been many new plant varieties that 1 brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them，but they failed to flourish.
What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area.Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators（传粉者）like birds，bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment.Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow，so they experience less stress.
Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard？Yes，however，getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible.It's also protected under the law.Rightfully so.Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.
Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut.I can't imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn.1'd miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.
Every spring，I wonder what the season holds：What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing？Like any good relationship，I'll never be pleased.I'm stuck with this tree，so I'll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires.In return，my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.
4. Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden？ ______
A. To protect the injured skull.
B. To avoid being hit by the nuts.
C. To prevent herself from sunburn.
D. To protect herself from getting caught in the rain.
5. What is the tree's survival strategy？ ______
A. It accepts new plant varieties.
B. It attracts beneficial pollinators.
C. It lets out a poison to drive away pests.
D. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.
6. What can we learn from the passage？ ______
A. The fruits may bring inconvenience.
B. The writer finds it challenging to get rid of the tree.
C. The writer is accustomed to living without the tree.
D. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.
7. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ______ .
A. It's better to be sure than sorry.
B. Constant dropping wears the stone.
C. Trees and plants have their own ways to flourish.
D. Acceptance instead of resistance is the better way to be.
C
Jason，a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania，uses the term "pseudo-working" to describe how many of us study.The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working bard - he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night – but，because of a lack of focus and concentration，he or she doesn't actually achieve much.
This phenomenon cam be seen in most colleges.For example，at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students I used to see in there late at night crowded in groups，drinking coffee，were definitely pseudo-working.The roommate who looks through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.The guy who brings three meals，a blanket.and six-pack of Red Bull to the study zone in preparation for an all-day paper-writing marathon is also pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours，these students are damaging their brain's ability to think clearly and efficiently to achieve the task at hand.In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.
The bigger problem here is that most students don't even realize that they're pseudo-working.To them pseudo-working is work - it's how they've always done it，and it's how all of their friends do it.Ii never crosses their mind that there might be a better way.Straight-A students.on the other hand，know all about pseudo-working.They fear it，and for good reason It not only wastes time，but it's also mentally tiring.
In fact，the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a smallest amount of wasted effort.Some cognitive science research concludes that about 50 minutes is the learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit.So how do these students achieve this goal？To understand their way to success，consider the following simple formula（公式）：work achieved = time spent intensity of focus.
Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus.Therefore，to achieve something by pseudo-working.You need to spend a lot of time.The straight-A approach，on the other hand，increases intensity in order to use less time.
8. Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working ______ ？
A. Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
B. Mike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.
C. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
D. Alice and Sara are sitting on the couth reading their favorite books.
9. Compared with straight-A students，the major problem of most students is that they ______
A. want to spend more time on study.
B. are eager to follow their friends' way.
C. have gotten used to their study approach.
D. are unaware of their pseudo-working.
10. What does the underlined word "optimal" mean in paragraph 5 ______ ？
A. Possible. B. Best. C. Least. D. Accurate.
11. Why does the author mention the formula in the text？ ______
A. To show the benefit of working hard.
B. To prove the necessity of achieving work.
C. To emphasize the importance of concentration.
D. To explain the reason for spending much time.
D
"Practice makes perfect" is a very popular expression.However，can we take this saying literally？Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.So does enough practice literally lead to perfection，or at least to a level of expertise？
One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10，000 hours，they will reach "perfection — or，in other words，become an expert in their field.This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best-selling book，Outliers：The Story of Success.He claimed 10，000 hours of practice to be "the magic number of greatness".He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates.Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent，they also clearly put in over 10，000 hours of practice before they became successful.
However，Gladwell's book has been said by many to be too simplistic and generalising.Gladwell's work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson，who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research.Firstly，Ericsson stated that 10，000 hours was an average figure.Some people，for example，needed far fewer than 10，000 hours，and others many more.More importantly，Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough；the type and quality of practice was also essential.He went on to explain the importance of "deliberate practice"，which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.Deliberate practice is said to be much more effective，although more tiring.
Despite the theories mentioned above，many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough.In fact，a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level.So what are the other factors that contribute to people becoming experts？
Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.Another natural factor is physical superiority，which is especially evident in sports.For instance，many baseball players in America have amazing vision that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do.So no matter how much a "normal" person practises，it is very hard for them to be as good as someone who has natural talent or physical superiority and who also practises.
And how about other factors that go into creating an expert？Many say IQ，personality，attitude，and starting age are decisive factors，too.It is also important to note that becoming an expert doesn't equal instant success.Success also relies on social factors，environmental factors，and even just being in the right place at the right time!
In conclusion，practice may not make perfect，but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement.Based on Ericsson's research，here are some tips on how to practice effectively：be motivated；make specific and realistic goals；work outside your comfort zone；be consistent and persistent；ask for others' opinions；and，of course，get plenty of rest!For those wanting to become an expert in something，remember that being motivated is key—enjoy what you do and follow your passions.
12. What examples did Gladwell use for his claim？ ______
A. Many scientific studies.
B. His own learning experience.
C. Many baseball players in America.
D. A music group and the Microsoft co-creator.
13. Why did Ericsson disagree with Gladwell？ ______
A. Because he did a scientific studies.
B. Because he found deliberate practice less effective.
C. Because he agreed with the influence of the natural talent.
D. Because he thought the type and quality of practice was also essential.
14. What did a recent study from Princeton University show？ ______
A. Practice only accounted for a small share in reaching an expert level.
B. Attitude and starting age are decisive factors to become an expert.
C. Twenty-six percent of the tested subjects can gain success.
D. It is very hard for a "normal" person to be a natural talent.
15. What can be the suitable title for this text？ ______
A. Anew scientific discovery
B. Does practice really make perfect？
C. Advantages and disadvantages of making practice
D. The more you practice，the more success you will receive.
Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. (1) This means you can store all your digital things remotely，without taking up space on your computer.There are two options available：public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users；private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment.
(2) Once you have registered and set up your account，you simply save your files via the internet using your username and password.This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else.Should you choose，you can put certain permissions in place，which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family.
When you sign up to cloud storage，you can choose the amount of space you need. (3) You can store anything digital：all your files，videos and pictures.Whether you want to use this storage solution to store your family photographs or you want to use it to store your work documentation，you will find it quite convenient.
Is it better than your computer or an external drive？The answer is a definite yes.Computers crash all the time.This is the most common cause of lost work and memories. (4) Here you also have the added risk of misplacing it or having it stolen.There are so many advantages to cloud computing，from the ability to access your data from wherever，whenever，to not needing expensive external storage devices. (5)
A．Cloud storage is very simple to use.
B．You will find cloud storage very cheap.
C．External hard drives can still break，or fail.
D．It enables you to store your data on hosted servers.
E．Cloud storage providers offer multiple layers of data security.

A Son's Love Our church congregation in Toronto has a way of assisting those who have financial difficulties without making the recipient feel shame or guilt.Money is dropped into an offering box with only the name of the recipient on the envelope.The envelopes are then distributed to those members without them knowing the name of the giver.
There came a time when my husband and I were among those in need.We did not talk about our financial difficulty with anyone.The only reason our children knew was because we had to cut back on many things.Still，we hoped they were not aware of the extent of our need，nor of how much their father and I were suffering because of it.We did not want to burden them with a problem they could do nothing to solve.
Our situation wasn't improving，and my husband and I knew that we would have to look for outside help.Just as we reached the point of despair，our church gave us a gift envelope that had been left in the offering box.We were overjoyed to receive a very substantial amount of money，enough to bring us through that desperate time.We couldn't help but wonder who had given such a generous gift.We were extremely relieved and enormously grateful.
A year later，our seventeen-year-old son was applying for a student loan so he could attend university.It was then we discovered that his savings account was almost empty.His father and I were very disturbed by this.We had trusted him to put part of his wages from his part-time job into the bank towards his education.From the time he was nine years old he had been a paper carrier for The Toronto Star，and he had worked very hard for his small earnings.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

2022-2023学年黑龙江省牡丹江第一高级中学高三（上）期末英语试卷
A
Asia is the birthplace of the world's three ancient civilizations：ancient China，ancient India and Babylon.Each gave the world different architectural styles and global landmarks，such as the Great Wall of China.Taj Mahal of India.With the conclusion of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilization，let's take a look at the architecture of Asian civilizations.
The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is an ancient defense project with the longest construction time and the largest workload put into a landmark，stretching out to a total length of more than 5，000 kilometers.Only when you have been to the Great Wall and witnessed its majesty can you truly say you have visited China.
Angkor Wat，Cambodia
The Angkor Wat in Cambodia is one of the largest religious monuments in the world，built on a site measuring 162.6 hectares.It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura （present-day Angkor），the capital of the Khmer Empire，as his state temple and eventual mausoleum（陵墓）.
Taj Mahal，India
The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra.It was commissioned in 1632 by Mughalemperor Shah to house the tomb of his favorite wife，Mumtaz Mahal.The Taj Mahal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being "the jewel ofMuslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."
AI-Khazneh，Jordan
AI-Khazneh，also known as the Treasury，is one of the most delicate temples in the ancient Arab Nabataean Kingdom city of Petra，Jordan.The 45-meter-high and 30-meter-wide building is a magnificent building with a pronounced Greek style.It is said to have been a place where pirates hid their treasure.

I've been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.
It's a unique tree.In late September or early October，falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls（头骨） of you，your children，your neighbors and those that reside next door to them.Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August，and as for me，I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.
The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy.It's poisonous to several common plants.There have been many new plant varieties that 1 brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them，but they failed to flourish.
What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area.Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators（传粉者）like birds，bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment.Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow，so they experience less stress.
Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard？Yes，however，getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible.It's also protected under the law.Rightfully so.Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.
Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut.I can't imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn.1'd miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.
Every spring，I wonder what the season holds：What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing？Like any good relationship，I'll never be pleased.I'm stuck with this tree，so I'll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires.In return，my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.
4. Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden？ ______
A. To protect the injured skull.
B. To avoid being hit by the nuts.

5. What is the tree's survival strategy？ ______
A. It accepts new plant varieties.

6. What can we learn from the passage？ ______
A. The fruits may bring inconvenience.
B. The writer finds it challenging to get rid of the tree.

C. Trees and plants have their own ways to flourish.
D. Acceptance instead of resistance is the better way to be.

Jason，a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania，uses the term "pseudo-working" to describe how many of us study.The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working bard - he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night – but，because of a lack of focus and concentration，he or she doesn't actually achieve much.
This phenomenon cam be seen in most colleges.For example，at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students I used to see in there late at night crowded in groups，drinking coffee，were definitely pseudo-working.The roommate who looks through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.The guy who brings three meals，a blanket.and six-pack of Red Bull to the study zone in preparation for an all-day paper-writing marathon is also pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours，these students are damaging their brain's ability to think clearly and efficiently to achieve the task at hand.In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.
The bigger problem here is that most students don't even realize that they're pseudo-working.To them pseudo-working is work - it's how they've always done it，and it's how all of their friends do it.Ii never crosses their mind that there might be a better way.Straight-A students.on the other hand，know all about pseudo-working.They fear it，and for good reason It not only wastes time，but it's also mentally tiring.
In fact，the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a smallest amount of wasted effort.Some cognitive science research concludes that about 50 minutes is the learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit.So how do these students achieve this goal？To understand their way to success，consider the following simple formula（公式）：work achieved = time spent intensity of focus.
Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus.Therefore，to achieve something by pseudo-working.You need to spend a lot of time.The straight-A approach，on the other hand，increases intensity in order to use less time.
8. Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working ______ ？
A. Tom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.
B. Mike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.
C. Jack spends a long time in the library on his essay while listening to music.
D. Alice and Sara are sitting on the couth reading their favorite books.
9. Compared with straight-A students，the major problem of most students is that they ______
A. want to spend more time on study.
B. are eager to follow their friends' way.
C. have gotten used to their study approach.
D. are unaware of their pseudo-working.
10. What does the underlined word "optimal" mean in paragraph 5 ______ ？
A. Possible. B. Best. C. Least. D. Accurate.
11. Why does the author mention the formula in the text？ ______
A. To show the benefit of working hard.
B. To prove the necessity of achieving work.
C. To emphasize the importance of concentration.
D. To explain the reason for spending much time.
D
"Practice makes perfect" is a very popular expression.However，can we take this saying literally？Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.So does enough practice literally lead to perfection，or at least to a level of expertise？
One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10，000 hours，they will reach "perfection — or，in other words，become an expert in their field.This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best-selling book，Outliers：The Story of Success.He claimed 10，000 hours of practice to be "the magic number of greatness".He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates.Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent，they also clearly put in over 10，000 hours of practice before they became successful.
However，Gladwell's book has been said by many to be too simplistic and generalising.Gladwell's work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson，who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research.Firstly，Ericsson stated that 10，000 hours was an average figure.Some people，for example，needed far fewer than 10，000 hours，and others many more.More importantly，Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough；the type and quality of practice was also essential.He went on to explain the importance of "deliberate practice"，which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.Deliberate practice is said to be much more effective，although more tiring.
Despite the theories mentioned above，many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough.In fact，a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level.So what are the other factors that contribute to people becoming experts？
Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.Another natural factor is physical superiority，which is especially evident in sports.For instance，many baseball players in America have amazing vision that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do.So no matter how much a "normal" person practises，it is very hard for them to be as good as someone who has natural talent or physical superiority and who also practises.
And how about other factors that go into creating an expert？Many say IQ，personality，attitude，and starting age are decisive factors，too.It is also important to note that becoming an expert doesn't equal instant success.Success also relies on social factors，environmental factors，and even just being in the right place at the right time!
In conclusion，practice may not make perfect，but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement.Based on Ericsson's research，here are some tips on how to practice effectively：be motivated；make specific and realistic goals；work outside your comfort zone；be consistent and persistent；ask for others' opinions；and，of course，get plenty of rest!For those wanting to become an expert in something，remember that being motivated is key—enjoy what you do and follow your passions.
12. What examples did Gladwell use for his claim？ ______
A. Many scientific studies.
B. His own learning experience.
C. Many baseball players in America.
D. A music group and the Microsoft co-creator.
13. Why did Ericsson disagree with Gladwell？ ______
A. Because he did a scientific studies.
B. Because he found deliberate practice less effective.
C. Because he agreed with the influence of the natural talent.
D. Because he thought the type and quality of practice was also essential.
14. What did a recent study from Princeton University show？ ______
A. Practice only accounted for a small share in reaching an expert level.
B. Attitude and starting age are decisive factors to become an expert.
C. Twenty-six percent of the tested subjects can gain success.
D. It is very hard for a "normal" person to be a natural talent.
15. What can be the suitable title for this text？ ______
A. Anew scientific discovery
B. Does practice really make perfect？
C. Advantages and disadvantages of making practice
D. The more you practice，the more success you will receive.
Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. (1) This means you can store all your digital things remotely，without taking up space on your computer.There are two options available：public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users；private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment.
(2) Once you have registered and set up your account，you simply save your files via the internet using your username and password.This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else.Should you choose，you can put certain permissions in place，which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family.
When you sign up to cloud storage，you can choose the amount of space you need. (3) You can store anything digital：all your files，videos and pictures.Whether you want to use this storage solution to store your family photographs or you want to use it to store your work documentation，you will find it quite convenient.
Is it better than your computer or an external drive？The answer is a definite yes.Computers crash all the time.This is the most common cause of lost work and memories. (4) Here you also have the added risk of misplacing it or having it stolen.There are so many advantages to cloud computing，from the ability to access your data from wherever，whenever，to not needing expensive external storage devices. (5)
A．Cloud storage is very simple to use.
B．You will find cloud storage very cheap.
C．External hard drives can still break，or fail.
D．It enables you to store your data on hosted servers.
E．Cloud storage providers offer multiple layers of data security.
F．The only disadvantage，however，is that you need internet to access files.
G．You can start with a small amount and increase the storage size later on.

38. 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。
A Son's Love Our church congregation in Toronto has a way of assisting those who have financial difficulties without making the recipient feel shame or guilt.Money is dropped into an offering box with only the name of the recipient on the envelope.The envelopes are then distributed to those members without them knowing the name of the giver.
There came a time when my husband and I were among those in need.We did not talk about our financial difficulty with anyone.The only reason our children knew was because we had to cut back on many things.Still，we hoped they were not aware of the extent of our need，nor of how much their father and I were suffering because of it.We did not want to burden them with a problem they could do nothing to solve.
Our situation wasn't improving，and my husband and I knew that we would have to look for outside help.Just as we reached the point of despair，our church gave us a gift envelope that had been left in the offering box.We were overjoyed to receive a very substantial amount of money，enough to bring us through that desperate time.We couldn't help but wonder who had given such a generous gift.We were extremely relieved and enormously grateful.
A year later，our seventeen-year-old son was applying for a student loan so he could attend university.It was then we discovered that his savings account was almost empty.His father and I were very disturbed by this.We had trusted him to put part of his wages from his part-time job into the bank towards his education.From the time he was nine years old he had been a paper carrier for The Toronto Star，and he had worked very hard for his small earnings.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

Anxious，I asked him repeatedly to tell me where the money had gone.
______
Finally，in tears，and with great reluctance，my son told us the truth.

8~11.【答案】C、D、B、C
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据第一中的The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working bard - he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night – but，because of a lack of focus and concentration，he or she doesn't actually achieve much.（这个伪学习者看起来和感觉都像是一个吟游诗人——他或她在图书馆里呆了很长时间，并不怕推到深夜——但由于缺乏专注力，他或她实际上并没有取得什么成就。）可知，伪学习指的是看上去好像花了很长时间学习，但并没有真正把注意力集中在学习上。C项"杰克边听音乐边在图书馆写论文写了很长时间"与"伪学习"的定义相似。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第四段中的The bigger problem here is that most students don't even realize that they're pseudo-working.（这里更大的问题是，大多数学生甚至没有意识到他们在伪学习。）可知，相比全A的学生，大多数学生都不知道自己在伪学习。故选D。

（4）推理判断题。根据第五段中的So how do these students achieve this goal？To understand their way to success，consider the following simple formula（公式）：work achieved = time spent intensity of focus.（那么这些学生是如何实现这一目标的呢？要了解他们的成功之道，可以考虑下面这个简单的公式：完成的工作量等于花费的时间乘以专注的强度。）和最后一段Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus.Therefore，to achieve something by pseudo-working.You need to spend a lot of time.The straight-A approach，on the other hand，increases intensity in order to use less time.（伪学习的特点是聚焦强度很低。因此，通过伪学习来达到目的，你需要花很多时间。而全A学生的学习方法是增加聚焦强度以减少时间。）可知，作者并不支持 "伪学习"，作者更加支持通过减少时间增加专注度的方法，故推测作者列出公式是为了强调 "专注强度"的重要性。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了 "伪学习"的一些表现和危害，并建议大家提高专注度，提高学习效率。

（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough；the type and quality of practice was also essential.（Ericsson表示，仅仅大量练习是不够的；练习的类型和质量也至关重要。）可知，Gladwell认为练习的时长重要，但Ericssion认为练习的类型和质量也很重要。故选D。
（3）细节理解题。根据第四段In fact，a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level.（事实上，普林斯顿大学最近的一项研究表明，练习只占达到专家水平因素的26%。）可知，一个人能否在某个方面达到专家水平，练习只占很小的一部分。故选A。

38.【答案】Anxious，I asked him to tell us where the money had gone.Hesitant and wordless，he didn't dare to look directly into my eyes，but lowered his head，almost to his chest，with hands tightly clasped and face blushing.The scene that he kept so silent like a statue brought more anxiety to my already burning heart.Countless doubts and speculations roared in my messy mind，every nerve in my body yelling at me to hound him for the answer. "Tell the truth!" I urged，determined to find out where the money had gone.【高分句型一】Then，over his face came a torn look.（描写了作者询问儿子及追查钱的去向）

"I sent it to the offering box with your names，" he murmured，the salty water pooling in his eyes.His words suddenly hit me like lightning.I was glued to the spot，speechless，with a lump in my throat—it had taken my son years to save that money.He had given it to us willingly—without telling us what he had done.The following moment witnessed me drawing my son into my arms，sobbing and apologizing.Never in my life had I been aware of my son's love，silent but pure and deep，which had saved our family and now warmed my life like sunshine.【高分句型二】（描写了作者的儿子告诉他们自己把钱放进奉献盒捐给了作者和父亲，作者深受感动）

（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
