听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。
Healthy relationships allow you to express your individuality,bring out the best in both of you,and encourage growth.Especially if you are in a new relationship,it’s best to set a foundation for a positive and healthy relationship from the start.There are two pieces of advice on it.
The first one,speak up.Don’t expect your partner to be able to read your mind or “figure it out.” If you have a need or want to express something,you need to communicate it yourself.It’s not fair to you or your partner when you don’t communicate your needs.Likewise,don’t hold in the things that bother you.If you don’t know how to start a conversation,say,“There’s something on my mind and I’d like it if you listened.” You can also say,“Something is bothering me and I feel like we should talk about it.”
The second one,listen intently.Part of a healthy relationship is knowing when to talk and when to listen.Develop your listening skills by not interrupting and letting your partner finish their thoughts and feelings.Truly listen,and don’t try to come up with a response while your partner is talking.Use active listening skills by reflecting the content and emotions of what your partner is saying.
17.What is the speaker talking about?
A.How to build a healthy relationship.
B.How to read others’ mind.
C.How to develop your listening skills.
答案A
18.How many suggestions are referred to?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
答案A
19.What isn’t referred to in the passage?
A.Speak up.
B.Appreciate each other.
C.Listen intently.
答案B
20.Which is impolite when making a conversation?

It was about seven years ago.I just picked up my three-year-old daughter from the nursery.I was weighed down with shopping bags,and with my daughter’s things.We arrived at a pedestrian crossing and she pressed the button.In the distance,I heard alarms,told my daughter to wait and watched a police car approaching.
Little did I know,as the green man flashed,that my daughter had begun to run into the road.I watched the police car speed toward us — that was when you sounded your horn and waved wildly to me.My daughter was about a meter from the path of the police car,hidden from their view by your car. 
I screamed her name and ran toward her.She stopped and was shocked by the rush of the police car as it sped past.She wondered why you had blown your horn,asking,“Mom,why was that woman so rude?” not realizing you had saved her life.
She wondered why I picked her up and burst into tears.My legs gave way as I reached the other side of the road.I should have followed my “wait” with a hand on her shoulder,or an explanation of why we were ignoring the green man this time,especially as I had in effect conditioned her to cross the road at the sight of the green flash.
I beat myself up for months,and still do,with flashbacks and horrible assumptions about what might have been.But for your sounding your horn,seeing what I hadn’t seen,I would have been left a mother on the other side of the road,totally broken.I apologize for putting you in that position — I can imagine that it upset you,too.You saved her life and I am so grateful.

We’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s CE Primary School Chester certainly agree.
Nine-year-old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note.“Sometimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference,but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up,” she tells HuffPost UK.“We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags that are polluting them,” she says.“Fish can eat the plastic and they can die,or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”
Mr.Timms,Isobel’s teacher,has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise the awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly.The entire Hummingbirds class,which is made up of nine-year-old and ten-year-old pupils,has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.
Mr.Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us.“We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children,” he says.“It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic,and to recycle more,and even stopping them using plastic straws.”
Mr.Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class.“The message that they would like to send to world is simple:stopping this isn’t someone else’s job,and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.”

Who’s in control of your life?Who’s pulling your strings?For the majority of us,it’s other people—society,colleagues,friends,family or our community.We learned this way of operating when we were very young,of course.We were brainwashed.We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us.As Oscar Wilde put it,“Most people are other people.Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions,their lives a mimicry,their passions a quotation.”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are,it makes us feel good.We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can.Therefore,we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives,failing to do the things we really want to.Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsening lives to keep getting their fix,we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But,just as with any drug,there is a price to pay.The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves.The truth is that we cannot control what other people think.People have their own agenda,and they come with their own baggage and,in the end,they’re more interested in themselves than in you.Furthermore,if we try to live by the opinions of others,we will build our life on sinking sand.Everyone has a different way of thinking,and people change their opinions all the time.The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting tired and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control?I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed from the outside by others,but innate values which come from within.If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others,we will live a more authentic,effective,purposeful and happy life.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章阐述了我们不应该太在意别人的观点,为得到别人的认可而迷失自我,我们不应该让别人的想法来控制我们的生活。
32.What Oscar Wilde says implies that　　　. 
A.most people have a variety of thoughts
B.we have thoughts similar to those of others
C.other people’s thoughts are more important

答案D

A.The price of taking the drug is freedom.
B.We may lose ourselves to win the approval of others.
C.We need to pay for what we want to get.
D.Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知,第三段谈论的是我们可能会为了赢得别人的认可而失去自我。故选B项。
34.It can be concluded from the passage that　　　. 
A.it’s better to follow others’ opinions
B.it’s important to accept others’ comments
C.we shouldn’t change our own decision
D.we shouldn’t care too much what others think

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。
What’s the purpose of building patience abilities?In a word,happiness.Better relationships,more success.But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully.　36　 Thus,when the big ones come,we will have developed the patience we need for hard times. 
Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience.We,human beings,are still constructed with our old reptilian (爬行动物的) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival.On the emotional survival side,we want our way to get ahead,to achieve,and to “look good”.Let’s just face it.　37　 So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience — anger,impatience,blame and shame.We all have them.And we can grow beyond them. 
Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain.Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions — we try to change the other person,situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort.But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain,but how our mind is set.　38　 
Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts.Most of us don’t really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest — but very present — painful feelings.　39　 But to really care for ourselves,get curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you.Focusing on what’s actually happening,you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening,the resistance. 
　40　 When you find yourself impatient,or angry with yourself,you can remind yourself that you are growing,and that,“Sure,this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I’m bothered.” You can say to yourself,“It’s true.I don’t like this; this is uncomfortable,but I can tolerate it.” 

A.Practice positive selftalk.
B.So the solution to pain is an inside job.
C.Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.
D.Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.
E.We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.
F.The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming.
G.Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pain and annoyance.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了理想中学生的样子以及应该如何学习。
56.instructors　考查名词。分析句子结构可知,句子缺少主语,故填名词,又因为谓语动词expect是一般现在时,是复数形式,所以主语也应该是复数形式,故填instructors。
57.with　考查介词。句意:老师希望学生们熟悉阅读材料中的信息,即使他们没有在课堂上讨论或参加考试。befamiliarwith意为“对……熟悉”,符合句意。
58.isconsidered　考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,空处用一般现在时,再结合句意可知,theidealstudent和consider之间是被动关系,故填isconsidered。
59.grades　考查名词。根据句意可知,当grade表示“分数,成绩”时,为可数名词,故填grades。
60.written　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处填形容词,修饰comments,此处用written作前置定语,意为“书面的”,故填written。
61.actively　考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处填副词,修饰take,故填actively“积极地”。
62.toexplain　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处填非谓语动词,再结合句意可知,此处用不定式结构作目的状语,故填toexplain。
63.who/that　考查定语从句的关系词。分析句子结构可知,空处填关系代词引导定语从句,并在从句中作主语,又因先行词是students,所以关系词可以是who或者that。
64.teaching　考查非谓语动词。besides是介词,故空处填动词-ing形式作宾语。
65.or　考查并列连词。根据空前的either可知,此处填or构成either...or...,意为“要么……要么……”。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Last summer when my family was making a road trip to Montana we arrived in Great Falls late one night.The kids had fallen asleep in the car,so my husband went and checked in while I stayed with the kids.When he returned with the room keys,we woke up our children and took them out of the car,through the hotel,up the elevators and into our guest room.We kept the room dark,leaving only the entry light on,and quickly put the kids into bed hoping they’d drift back to sleep.
My husband went to put our water in the mini-fridge only to notice some beers.“That’s strange”,he said and I agreed,but having discovered left-behind drinks in hotel fridges in the past,I didn’t think much about it.I figured the housekeepers had forgotten to check it.In the meantime,my husband ran to the store and I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed.As I washed my face,I looked down to see cardboard beer containers in the trash.I felt my heart begin to pound.We were in someone else’s room!
Now panicked,I checked the closet.Nothing.I then went to the dresser drawers.Nothing.My eyes scanned the door,room’s floor and there it was:A black bag that looked like one of ours.But it wasn’t!
I immediately called the front desk and the waitress in charge responded with an“Oh,my God!This is not good!”
By now the kids were wide-awake,jumping on the beds as I was trying to put all of our things back into our oversized suitcase.Just while we were packing our things,I heard someone was unlocking the door,which made my heart beating wildly.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The door opened and in came a young man. 
 
 
 
 
 
I didn’t know how to deal with the matter but luckily the cleaning lady arrived out of breath.

Ididn’tknowhowtodealwiththematterbutluckilythecleaningladyarrivedoutofbreath.Watching the cleaning lady,all of us stopped talking.She explained that her mother became badly ill last night,which contributed to her fault.After explaining the reason to us,the cleaning lady burst into tears.The young man,my husband and I,even my kids,tried to comfort the cleaning lady.We said sorry to each other.The special experience in someone else’s room made me realize forgiveness is a kind of virtue.
