Cimabue,the greatest painter f a Middle Ages in Italy,was surprised ne day after his lunch break t discver that a fly had seated itself under the nse f a character that he had been wrking n.He swatted （重拍） at the fly,but it did nt mve.He reached ut t tuch the insect,nly t find it was nly wet paint.Turning arund,he saw that his apprentice （学徒），Gitt,was laughing.Gitt had painted the fly when Cimabue was away,and it lked s real that Cimabue had been cmpletely fled.

On January 22，a massive iceberg brke ff frm Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf.Scientists say the iceberg was expected t break ff and the event isn't cnnected t climate change.But the size f the iceberg is hard t imagine.
The iceberg，knwn as "A81"，is extremely large.It cvers an area f abut 600 square miles （1，550 square kilmeters）.
Antarctica，the wrld's fifth largest cntinent，is cvered with a layer f ice and snw that's rughly 1.2 miles （1.9 kilmeters） thick.As snw falls，it piles up in the center f Antarctica in a huge layer f ice.Over time，the weight f this ice and snw creates slwly mving rivers f ice called glaciers，which push ut twards the sea.
When the glaciers reach the sea，they slwly push ut beynd the edge f the land，frming huge "ice shelves"，These are massive sectins f ice that spread ut ver the sea，flating n the water belw.Antarctica's largest ice shelf，the Rss Ice Shelf，is abut the size f France.
Frm time t time，the edges f the ice shelves break ff.This is a natural prcess，called " calving".Thugh calving events are a nrmal part f the ice shelf in Antarctica，ne expert describes huge calving events like this ne as "spectacular".
Unlike an ice shelf，sea ice isn't attached t Antarctica's land.It's a layer f ice that flats n the surface f the sea.The sea ice is there year-rund.It grws larger in the cld winters，and smaller as it begins t melt in the summers.
It's nw summer in Antarctica，and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing "unusually" rapidly.Last year，with temperatures warmer than nrmal，Antarctica set a recrd fr the lwest amunt f sea ice ever recrded.Scientists say Antarctica's sea ice culd set a new recrd lw again this year.
8.Why have a lt f icebergs brken ff frm Antarctica in recent years？ ______
A. Because f climate change.
B. Because f human activities.
C. Because f their extremely big size.
D. Because f the amunt f iceberg.
9.What des the underlined wrd "calving" prbably refer t in paragraph 5？ ______
A. Giving birth.B. Breaking ff.
C. Cming tgether.D. Cutting dwn.
10.What is the scientists' attitude twards the changes f sea ice in Antarctica？ ______
A. Dubtful.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Wrried.
11.What is prbably the best title f this text？ ______
A. Massive Iceberg Breaks frm Antarctica.
B. Scientists Say the Iceberg Was t Break Off.
C. Antarctica's Sea Ice Culd Set a New Recrd.
D. The Sea Ice Disappears"Unusually"Rapidly.

If yuˈ re reaching fr the last piece f pizza at a party, and meanwhile see anther hand ging fr it, yur next mve prbably depends n hw yu feel and whm the hand belngs t. Yur little sister — yu might just grab the pizza. Yur bss — yu prbably will give up.
Nw researchers have made prgress in understanding hw mammalsˈ brain encdes scial rank and uses this infrmatin t shape behavirs — such as whether t fight fr the last pizza slice. They discvered that an area f the brain called the medial prefrntal crtex (mPFC) was respnsible fr representing scial rank in mammals; changes t a museˈs mPFC affected its dminance behavir. But it was unknwn hw the mPFC represented this infrmatin and which neurns(神经元) were invlved in changing dminance behaviur.
In the new study, Prfessr Kay Tye let grups f fur mice share a cage. Sme mice became mre dminant and thers mre subrdinate. As sn as the mice were paired up, he discvered, the activity f their mPFC neurns culd predict — with 90 percent certainty — the rank f their ppnent.
“We expected animals might nly signal rank when they are in a cmpetitin,” says c-researcher Nancy. “But it turns ut animals walk arund with this representatin f scial rank all the time.”
When the researchers next asked whether the activity f the mPFC neurns was assciated with behaviur, they fund smething surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviur, such as hw fast a muse mved, and they als culd predict — a full 30 secnds befre the cmpetitin started — which muse wuld win the fd reward.
The winner was nt always the mre dminant, but the ne engaged in a winning mindset. Just as yu might smetimes be in a mre cmpetitive md and be mre likely t snatch that pizza slice befre yur bss, a subrdinate muse might be in a mre winning mindset than a mre dminant muse and end up winning.
The areas f the mPFC assciated with scial rank and winning mindset are next t ne anther and highly cnnected. Signals n scial rank impact the state f the brain invlved in winning mindset. In ther wrds, a subrdinate museˈs cnfidence and winning mindset may partially decrease when faced with a dminant ne.
“This is further evidence t suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with thers cmpared t when weˈre alne,” says Tye.
12.What is the purpse f the first paragraph?
A. T prvide backgrund infrmatin.
B. T state the imprtance f scial rank.
C. T give readers an example f scial rank.
D. T intrduce the tpic f the reading passage.
13.What des the underlined wrd “ they” in paragraph 5 refer t?
A. The mPFC neurns.B. The researchers.
C. The brain activity patterns.D. The changes in behaviur.
14.What can we learn frm the new study?
A. Brain activities can influence scial rank
B. Dminant ppnents bst winning mindset.
C. Scial rank and winning mindset affect behaviur.
D. Animals nly exhibit their rank in cmpetitin.
15.What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Winning mindset establishes dminance.
B. Scial rank guides cmpetitive behaviur.
C. A subrdinate muse can never been a winner.
D. Awareness f different peple arund yu make yur brain use different neurns.

【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Scientists say the iceberg was expected t break ff and the event isn't cnnected t climate change.But the size f the iceberg is hard t imagine.（科学家表示，冰山预计会断裂，这一事件与气候变化无关。但是冰山的大小是难以想象的）可知，冰山断裂与气候变化无关，而冰山的大小是难以想象的。由此可知，冰山断裂在于自身太庞大。A．Because f climate change.因为气候变化；B．Because f human activities.因为人类的活动；C．Because f their extremely big size.因为它们体型巨大；D．Because f the amunt f iceberg.因为冰山的数量。故选C。
（2）词句猜测题。根据划线词前的Frm time t time，the edges f the ice shelves break ff.This is a natural prcess，（时不时地，冰架的边缘会断裂。这是一个自然过程）可知，冰架的边缘不时会断裂，这是一个自然的过程。由此可知，划线词calving为"断裂"之意，与B项意思最接近。A．Giving birth.分娩；B．Breaking ff.断开；C．Cming tgether.走到一起；D．Cutting dwn.削减开支。故选B。
（3）观点态度题。根据最后一段It's nw summer in Antarctica，and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing "unusually" rapidly.Last year，with temperatures warmer than nrmal，Antarctica set a recrd fr the lwest amunt f sea ice ever recrded.Scientists say Antarctica's sea ice culd set a new recrd lw again this year.（现在是南极洲的夏天，科学家说海冰正在"异常"地迅速消失。去年，由于气温高于正常水平，南极洲创下了有记录以来海冰数量最低的记录。科学家表示，今年南极洲的海冰可能再次创下历史新低）可推知，科学家们对南极海冰的不断消失持担忧态度。故选D。
（4）标题归纳题。根据第一段On January 22，a massive iceberg brke ff frm Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf.（1月22日，一座巨大的冰山从南极洲的布伦特冰架上断裂）及全文可知，文章介绍了南极冰山的裂冰现象。科学家认为冰山断裂与气候变化无关，而是与冰山的大小息息相关。由此可知，A项"Massive Iceberg Breaks frm Antarctica（巨大的冰山从南极洲断裂）"适合作本文的标题。故选A。
本文是一篇说明文。文章结合最近发生的一次冰山崩塌介绍了有关南极冰川和海冰的知识。

12~15.【答案】D、A、C、A
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员对大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质（mPFC）的区域如何参与改变支配行为的研究，得出结论：处于"胜利心态"的人更容易成为具有统治力的人，并且mPFC神经元改变支配行为。
1.
根据第一段If yu' re reaching fr the last piece f pizza at a party，and meanwhile see anther hand ging fr it， bss—yu prbably will give up.But if yu're hungry and feeling particularly cnfident，yu might g fr it. （如果你在派对上伸手去拿最后一块披萨，同时看到另一只手在拿，你的下一步行动可能取决于你的感觉以及那只手属于谁。你妹妹——你可能就去拿披萨。你的老板——你可能会放弃。但是如果你饿了并且感觉特别自信，你可能会去拿披萨。）结合之后文章提出大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质（mPFC）的区域负责代表哺乳动物的社会地位，可知作者写第一段是为了引出一个主要话题。
2.
根据第五段内容When the researchers next asked whether the activity f the mPFC neurns was assciated with behaviur， culd predict—a full 30 secnds befre the cmpetitin started—which muse wuld win the fd reward. （当研究人员再次寻求mPFC神经元的活动是否与行为有关时，他们发现了一些令人惊讶的事情。大脑活动模式与行为的轻微变化有关，例如老鼠移动的速度，它们还可以在比赛开始前整整30秒预测哪只老鼠会赢得食物奖励。）可知研究人员发现mPFC神经元的活动与行为密切相关，划线部分的"they"指的是mPFC神经元。
3.
根据倒数第二段The areas f the mPFC assciated with scial rank and "winning mindset" are next t ne anther and highly ther wrds，a subrdinate muse's cnfidence and "winning mindset" may partially decrease when faced with a dminant ne. （ mPFC中与社会地位和"获胜心态"相关的区域彼此相邻，高度相关。社会等级的信号会影响"获胜心态"的大脑状态。换句话说，当面对占优势的老鼠时，从属老鼠的信心和"获胜心态"可能会部分下降。）可知社会地位和胜利心态会影响行为。

根据倒数第三段The winner was nt always the mre dminant， subrdinate muse might be in a mre "winning mindset" than a mre dminant muse and end up winning. （胜利者并不总是更具统治力的人，而是处于"胜利心态"的人。正如你有时可能处于一种更具竞争性的情绪中，更有可能在老板面前抢走那块披萨一样，处于从属地位的老鼠可能比更具统治力的老鼠处于更"胜利的心态"，并最终获胜。）可知胜利的心态建立了统治地位。

做完形填空首先要通读全文，了解大意。一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格，所以，必须先通读一至两遍，才能大概了解文章的内容。千万不要看一句，做一句。其次要逐句分析，前后一致。选择答案时，要考虑整个句子的内容，包括搭配、时态、语法等。答案全部填完后，再通读一遍文章，检查是否通顺流畅了，用词得当，意思正确。
36.【答案】【小题1】it
【小题2】cnnected
【小题3】easier
【小题4】have cme
【小题5】is
【小题6】strengths
【小题7】which
【小题8】explring
【小题9】a
【小题10】t fear
【解析】（1）考查固定句型。句意：首先，人们普遍认为，寻找联系可以激发创造力。表示"人们普遍认为……"句型为it be well accepted that…，it作形式主语，故填it。
（2）考查状语从句的省略。句意：看似不相关的事物或想法就像孤立的点，当它们连接起来时，就能形成不同的画面。此处是when引导的时间状语从句省略句，从句主语是Things r ideas与从句谓语动词cnnect是被动关系，从句谓语用be dne形式，从句主语与主句主语一致且从句含有be动词，常省略从句的主语和be动词，用过去分词cnnected，故填cnnected。
（3）考查比较级。句意：如果你掌握了良好的学科知识，对人类经验有了广泛的了解，并把你观察到的事情和你想到的想法记下来，这就会变得容易得多。根据much以及句意"更容易"可知应用形容词比较级easier作表语。故填easier。
（4）考查时态。句意：如果你掌握了良好的学科知识，对人类经验有了广泛的了解，并把你观察到的事情和你想到的想法记下来，这就会变得容易得多。根据上文yu have bserved as well as可知用现在完成时，主语为yu，助动词用have。故填have cme。
（5）考查时态和主谓一致。句意：另一种提高创造力的方法是与他人合作。陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为Anther means t imprve creativity，谓语用单数。故填is。
（6）考查名词复数。句意：不同的人有不同的心态、技能和能力，分享想法，结合各自的优势，会产生新的观点、想法和方法，最终导致创造性的创新。表示"优势"strength为可数名词，根据上文their可知数量大于一应用复数形式。故填strengths。
（7）考查定语从句。句意：最后但并非最不重要的是，你必须准备好战胜对失败的恐惧，这通常被认为是创造力的最大障碍之一。该空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是上文句子的内容，从句缺少主语，用关系代词which，故填which。
（8）考查动名词。句意：创造力是关于实验和探索。作介词abut的宾语，应用动名词形式。故填explring。
（9）考查冠词。句意：你需要接受这样一个事实：创新的过程是一个旅程，在这个过程中会有正确和错误的转折。jurney为泛指且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a。故填a。
（10）考查不定式。句意：只要你能反思错误并做出相应的纠正，走错弯路也没什么可怕的。此处修饰复合不定代词nthing应用不定式作后置定语。故填t fear。
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何激发创造力。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

On January 22，a massive iceberg brke ff frm Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf.Scientists say the iceberg was expected t break ff and the event isn't cnnected t climate change.But the size f the iceberg is hard t imagine.
The iceberg，knwn as "A81"，is extremely large.It cvers an area f abut 600 square miles （1，550 square kilmeters）.
Antarctica，the wrld's fifth largest cntinent，is cvered with a layer f ice and snw that's rughly 1.2 miles （1.9 kilmeters） thick.As snw falls，it piles up in the center f Antarctica in a huge layer f ice.Over time，the weight f this ice and snw creates slwly mving rivers f ice called glaciers，which push ut twards the sea.
When the glaciers reach the sea，they slwly push ut beynd the edge f the land，frming huge "ice shelves"，These are massive sectins f ice that spread ut ver the sea，flating n the water belw.Antarctica's largest ice shelf，the Rss Ice Shelf，is abut the size f France.
Frm time t time，the edges f the ice shelves break ff.This is a natural prcess，called " calving".Thugh calving events are a nrmal part f the ice shelf in Antarctica，ne expert describes huge calving events like this ne as "spectacular".
Unlike an ice shelf，sea ice isn't attached t Antarctica's land.It's a layer f ice that flats n the surface f the sea.The sea ice is there year-rund.It grws larger in the cld winters，and smaller as it begins t melt in the summers.
It's nw summer in Antarctica，and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing "unusually" rapidly.Last year，with temperatures warmer than nrmal，Antarctica set a recrd fr the lwest amunt f sea ice ever recrded.Scientists say Antarctica's sea ice culd set a new recrd lw again this year.
8.Why have a lt f icebergs brken ff frm Antarctica in recent years？ ______
A. Because f climate change.

C. Cming tgether.D. Cutting dwn.
10.What is the scientists' attitude twards the changes f sea ice in Antarctica？ ______
A. Dubtful.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Wrried.
11.What is prbably the best title f this text？ ______

If yuˈ re reaching fr the last piece f pizza at a party, and meanwhile see anther hand ging fr it, yur next mve prbably depends n hw yu feel and whm the hand belngs t. Yur little sister — yu might just grab the pizza. Yur bss — yu prbably will give up.
Nw researchers have made prgress in understanding hw mammalsˈ brain encdes scial rank and uses this infrmatin t shape behavirs — such as whether t fight fr the last pizza slice. They discvered that an area f the brain called the medial prefrntal crtex (mPFC) was respnsible fr representing scial rank in mammals; changes t a museˈs mPFC affected its dminance behavir. But it was unknwn hw the mPFC represented this infrmatin and which neurns(神经元) were invlved in changing dminance behaviur.
In the new study, Prfessr Kay Tye let grups f fur mice share a cage. Sme mice became mre dminant and thers mre subrdinate. As sn as the mice were paired up, he discvered, the activity f their mPFC neurns culd predict — with 90 percent certainty — the rank f their ppnent.
“We expected animals might nly signal rank when they are in a cmpetitin,” says c-researcher Nancy. “But it turns ut animals walk arund with this representatin f scial rank all the time.”
When the researchers next asked whether the activity f the mPFC neurns was assciated with behaviur, they fund smething surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviur, such as hw fast a muse mved, and they als culd predict — a full 30 secnds befre the cmpetitin started — which muse wuld win the fd reward.
The winner was nt always the mre dminant, but the ne engaged in a winning mindset. Just as yu might smetimes be in a mre cmpetitive md and be mre likely t snatch that pizza slice befre yur bss, a subrdinate muse might be in a mre winning mindset than a mre dminant muse and end up winning.
The areas f the mPFC assciated with scial rank and winning mindset are next t ne anther and highly cnnected. Signals n scial rank impact the state f the brain invlved in winning mindset. In ther wrds, a subrdinate museˈs cnfidence and winning mindset may partially decrease when faced with a dminant ne.
“This is further evidence t suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with thers cmpared t when weˈre alne,” says Tye.
12.What is the purpse f the first paragraph?
A. T prvide backgrund infrmatin.
B. T state the imprtance f scial rank.
C. T give readers an example f scial rank.
D. T intrduce the tpic f the reading passage.
13.What des the underlined wrd “ they” in paragraph 5 refer t?
A. The mPFC neurns.B. The researchers.
C. The brain activity patterns.D. The changes in behaviur.
14.What can we learn frm the new study?
A. Brain activities can influence scial rank
B. Dminant ppnents bst winning mindset.
C. Scial rank and winning mindset affect behaviur.
D. Animals nly exhibit their rank in cmpetitin.
15.What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Winning mindset establishes dminance.
B. Scial rank guides cmpetitive behaviur.
C. A subrdinate muse can never been a winner.
D. Awareness f different peple arund yu make yur brain use different neurns.

【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Scientists say the iceberg was expected t break ff and the event isn't cnnected t climate change.But the size f the iceberg is hard t imagine.（科学家表示，冰山预计会断裂，这一事件与气候变化无关。但是冰山的大小是难以想象的）可知，冰山断裂与气候变化无关，而冰山的大小是难以想象的。由此可知，冰山断裂在于自身太庞大。A．Because f climate change.因为气候变化；B．Because f human activities.因为人类的活动；C．Because f their extremely big size.因为它们体型巨大；D．Because f the amunt f iceberg.因为冰山的数量。故选C。
（2）词句猜测题。根据划线词前的Frm time t time，the edges f the ice shelves break ff.This is a natural prcess，（时不时地，冰架的边缘会断裂。这是一个自然过程）可知，冰架的边缘不时会断裂，这是一个自然的过程。由此可知，划线词calving为"断裂"之意，与B项意思最接近。A．Giving birth.分娩；B．Breaking ff.断开；C．Cming tgether.走到一起；D．Cutting dwn.削减开支。故选B。
（3）观点态度题。根据最后一段It's nw summer in Antarctica，and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing "unusually" rapidly.Last year，with temperatures warmer than nrmal，Antarctica set a recrd fr the lwest amunt f sea ice ever recrded.Scientists say Antarctica's sea ice culd set a new recrd lw again this year.（现在是南极洲的夏天，科学家说海冰正在"异常"地迅速消失。去年，由于气温高于正常水平，南极洲创下了有记录以来海冰数量最低的记录。科学家表示，今年南极洲的海冰可能再次创下历史新低）可推知，科学家们对南极海冰的不断消失持担忧态度。故选D。
（4）标题归纳题。根据第一段On January 22，a massive iceberg brke ff frm Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf.（1月22日，一座巨大的冰山从南极洲的布伦特冰架上断裂）及全文可知，文章介绍了南极冰山的裂冰现象。科学家认为冰山断裂与气候变化无关，而是与冰山的大小息息相关。由此可知，A项"Massive Iceberg Breaks frm Antarctica（巨大的冰山从南极洲断裂）"适合作本文的标题。故选A。
本文是一篇说明文。文章结合最近发生的一次冰山崩塌介绍了有关南极冰川和海冰的知识。

12~15.【答案】D、A、C、A
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员对大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质（mPFC）的区域如何参与改变支配行为的研究，得出结论：处于"胜利心态"的人更容易成为具有统治力的人，并且mPFC神经元改变支配行为。
1.
根据第一段If yu' re reaching fr the last piece f pizza at a party，and meanwhile see anther hand ging fr it， bss—yu prbably will give up.But if yu're hungry and feeling particularly cnfident，yu might g fr it. （如果你在派对上伸手去拿最后一块披萨，同时看到另一只手在拿，你的下一步行动可能取决于你的感觉以及那只手属于谁。你妹妹——你可能就去拿披萨。你的老板——你可能会放弃。但是如果你饿了并且感觉特别自信，你可能会去拿披萨。）结合之后文章提出大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质（mPFC）的区域负责代表哺乳动物的社会地位，可知作者写第一段是为了引出一个主要话题。
2.
根据第五段内容When the researchers next asked whether the activity f the mPFC neurns was assciated with behaviur， culd predict—a full 30 secnds befre the cmpetitin started—which muse wuld win the fd reward. （当研究人员再次寻求mPFC神经元的活动是否与行为有关时，他们发现了一些令人惊讶的事情。大脑活动模式与行为的轻微变化有关，例如老鼠移动的速度，它们还可以在比赛开始前整整30秒预测哪只老鼠会赢得食物奖励。）可知研究人员发现mPFC神经元的活动与行为密切相关，划线部分的"they"指的是mPFC神经元。
3.
根据倒数第二段The areas f the mPFC assciated with scial rank and "winning mindset" are next t ne anther and highly ther wrds，a subrdinate muse's cnfidence and "winning mindset" may partially decrease when faced with a dminant ne. （ mPFC中与社会地位和"获胜心态"相关的区域彼此相邻，高度相关。社会等级的信号会影响"获胜心态"的大脑状态。换句话说，当面对占优势的老鼠时，从属老鼠的信心和"获胜心态"可能会部分下降。）可知社会地位和胜利心态会影响行为。
4.
根据倒数第三段The winner was nt always the mre dminant， subrdinate muse might be in a mre "winning mindset" than a mre dminant muse and end up winning. （胜利者并不总是更具统治力的人，而是处于"胜利心态"的人。正如你有时可能处于一种更具竞争性的情绪中，更有可能在老板面前抢走那块披萨一样，处于从属地位的老鼠可能比更具统治力的老鼠处于更"胜利的心态"，并最终获胜。）可知胜利的心态建立了统治地位。
16~20.【答案】B、F、A、G、D
【解析】（1）B.逻辑关系题。上文In thse early years,we did nt have much mney. （早些年，我们没有多少钱。）及下文which was rather prly furnished. （布置得相当差。）说明早些年作者的家条件不好，房屋布置得很差。B项：Our hme was a simple rented apartment （我们的家是一个简单的出租公寓）承上启下，说明家庭条件不好，房屋简陋。故选B。
（2）F.推理判断题。下文illy nes,mving nes,and even educatinal nes. （愚蠢的，感动的，甚至是教育性的。）描述的是儿童图书的内容及性质。F项：Thanks t the children's sectin f the library,I fell in lve with stries （多亏了图书馆的儿童图书部分，我爱上了故事。）引出下文儿童图书的内容。故选F。
（3）A.推理判断题。下文I knew we culd get bks frm the library r buy them in stres if we had the mney,but where did bks cme frm？（我知道我们可以从图书馆得到书，或者如果我们有钱，我们可以在商店买书，但书从哪里来呢？）指出作者的疑问。 A项：Gradually,I had a curius thught （渐渐地，我有了一个奇怪的想法）引出下文，提出作者的想法和疑问。故选A。
（4）G.细节理解题。上文I asked my mther this questin,t which she replied that the stries I lved were created in the imaginatins f peple called "writers". （我问了我母亲这个问题，她回答说，我喜欢的故事是在被称为"作家"的人的想象中创造的。）解释故事是如何产生的。G项：These peple then wrte them dwn s they culd be shared with thers （然后，这些人把它们写下来，这样就可以与他人分享。）承接上文，解释故事和书是如何产生的。故选G。
（5）D.推理判断题。下文I wuld be ne f thse writers.I wuld create stries and share them with the wrld. （我会成为这些作家中的一个。我会创造故事并与世界分享。）说明作者目标是成为一名作家。D项：Then and there,I knew my purpse in this wrld （当时，我就知道了我在这个世界上的目标。）引出下文，介绍作者的目标。故选D。
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者的爱好和未来的目标。
"七选五"这样的题型，主要目的在于考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。解题时最主要的两个步骤就是1．理清文章的逻辑和结构，2．在所给的原文中找出关键词或者说是线索词。文章的整体思路能帮助你在答案中筛选出符合逻辑的选项，关键词则能帮助你确定更多的细节，排除相近的选项。得出正确的答案。
21~35.【答案】C、A、D、C、A、A、C、A、B、A、B、D、A、A、B
【解析】（1）C.考查形容词及语境理解。A.delicate精致的；B.cnstant频繁的；C.slight轻度的；D.lw低的。句意："轻微保养"这个词完美地描述了我的美容方法。根据上文"Fr many years,I was s wrapped up in my kids and my family that I ignred hw I lked. （多年来，我太专注于我的孩子和我的家庭，而忽略了我的外表）"可知，作者多年没有注重保养，所以此处用slight来修饰"保养"，符合语境。故选C。
（2）A.考查动词及语境理解。A.realized意识到；B.recgnized识别出；C.acknwledged承认；D.recmmended推荐。句意：直到最近，当我拍了一张工作证的照片，我才意识到"青年列车"已经离开了车站，而我已经不在车上了。根据下文"The wman in the ID picture lked （3） and definitely middle-aged.（身份证照片上的女人看起来很疲惫，绝对是中年）"可知，作者意识到自己已到中年，所以此处表达"意识到"青年列车已离开。故选A。
（3）D.考查形容词及语境理解。A.energetic有活力的；B.cautius谨慎的；C.enthusiastic热情的；D.tired疲惫的。句意：身份证照片上的女人看起来很疲惫，绝对是中年。根据上文提到作者看到工作证照片意识到青春不再，以及此处提到"绝对是中年"可知，照片上的人看起来很"疲惫"。故选D。

（5）A.考查动词及语境理解。A.act表现；B.dress穿着；C.behave行为；D.pretend假装。句意：在那几天里，我努力表现得更年轻、更聪明、更紧致。根据下文"I （6） with my hair and added extra eyeliner.（我把头发扎起来，还画了眼线）"可知，作者做了这些行为来表现自己更年轻、更聪明、更紧致。故选A。
（6）A.考查动词短语及语境理解。A.tied up系紧；B.cut away切掉；C.tk turns轮流；D.tk pains尽力。句意：我把头发扎起来，还画了眼线。根据上文可知，作者在因为自己青春不再而困扰的那几天，努力表现地更年轻，结合此处的宾语hair可知，此处表示"系紧头发"。故选A。

（8）A.考查副词及语境理解。A.casually随便地，不经意地；B.temprarily暂时地；C.briefly简短地；D.imprperly不合适地。句意：我以为我成功地找到了一种年轻的光彩，直到我的一个新同事不经意地问了我一个问题，这告诉我我只是在欺骗自己。根据下文""I dn't suppse yu knw what beauty is,d yu？" she asked.（"我想你不知道什么是美，对吧？"她问道）"可知，在观察作者的行为后，对于作者的同事来说，这个问题是在不经意地询问，其他选项不符合语境，故选A。
（9）B.考查动词及语境理解。A.teaching教；B.fling欺骗；C.decrating装饰；D.enjying享受。句意：我以为我成功地找到了一种年轻的光彩，直到我的一个新同事不经意地问了我一个问题，这告诉我我只是在欺骗自己。根据下文""I dn't suppse yu knw what beauty is,d yu？" she asked.（"我想你不知道什么是美，对吧？"她问道）"可知，作者的这些表现得年轻的行为，让别人觉得她不明白真正的美，所以她此时明白她的行为只是在欺骗自己。故选B。
（10）A.考查动词及语境理解。A.lves喜爱；B.helps帮助；C.changes改变；D.shapes形成。句意：我的家人爱我，不是因为我不再有光泽的头发，而是因为我扮演的角色，那就是我丈夫的妻子和我孩子的妈妈。根据语境可知，此处表达因为作者的在家庭中是妻子和妈妈的角色，所以自己的家人"爱我"。故选A。

（13）A.考查形容词及语境理解。A.inner内在的；B.natural自然的；C.utside外在的；D.mral道德的。句意：我同意，但只有当涉及到外在美时。根据下文"When it cmes t staying yung,a mind-lift （14） a face-lift any day.The （15） beauty,the stuff inside that all f us have,lasts a lifetime.（说到保持年轻，精神提升总比整容好。真正的美，我们所有人都拥有的内在美，会持续一生）"可知，作者认为内在美比外在美更重要，保持得更久，所以此处她表示"只有涉及到外在美的时候"，它才是第一个被赐予也是第一个被收走的礼物。故选A。
（14）A.考查动词及语境理解。A.beats打败；B.meets满足；C.warms温暖；D.restricts限制。句意：说到保持年轻，精神提升总比整容好。根据下文"The （15） beauty,the stuff inside that all f us have,lasts a lifetime.（真正的美，我们所有人都拥有的内在美，会持续一生）"可知，内在美很重要，可以保持一生，所以相比之下，内在精神比外在容貌更重要，beats此处意为"将其打败"，表示"比它更好"。故选A。
（15）B.考查形容词及语境理解。A.behaviral行为的；B.genuine真正的；C.physical身体上的；D.bilgical生物学的。句意：真正的美，我们所有人都拥有的内在美，会持续一生。根据前文内容可知，作者通过自己的事例，最后感悟出，内在美比外在美更重要更持久，所以此处表示内在美是"真正的美"。故选B。
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在文章讲述了自己因为多年照顾家庭而忽略自己的外表，想要通过一些行为来表现得更年轻，同事不经意的询问让她开始反思什么是真正的美，最后她明白了内在美比外在美更重要、更持久。

【解析】（1）考查固定句型。句意：首先，人们普遍认为，寻找联系可以激发创造力。表示"人们普遍认为……"句型为it be well accepted that…，it作形式主语，故填it。
（2）考查状语从句的省略。句意：看似不相关的事物或想法就像孤立的点，当它们连接起来时，就能形成不同的画面。此处是when引导的时间状语从句省略句，从句主语是Things r ideas与从句谓语动词cnnect是被动关系，从句谓语用be dne形式，从句主语与主句主语一致且从句含有be动词，常省略从句的主语和be动词，用过去分词cnnected，故填cnnected。
（3）考查比较级。句意：如果你掌握了良好的学科知识，对人类经验有了广泛的了解，并把你观察到的事情和你想到的想法记下来，这就会变得容易得多。根据much以及句意"更容易"可知应用形容词比较级easier作表语。故填easier。
（4）考查时态。句意：如果你掌握了良好的学科知识，对人类经验有了广泛的了解，并把你观察到的事情和你想到的想法记下来，这就会变得容易得多。根据上文yu have bserved as well as可知用现在完成时，主语为yu，助动词用have。故填have cme。
（5）考查时态和主谓一致。句意：另一种提高创造力的方法是与他人合作。陈述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为Anther means t imprve creativity，谓语用单数。故填is。
（6）考查名词复数。句意：不同的人有不同的心态、技能和能力，分享想法，结合各自的优势，会产生新的观点、想法和方法，最终导致创造性的创新。表示"优势"strength为可数名词，根据上文their可知数量大于一应用复数形式。故填strengths。
（7）考查定语从句。句意：最后但并非最不重要的是，你必须准备好战胜对失败的恐惧，这通常被认为是创造力的最大障碍之一。该空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是上文句子的内容，从句缺少主语，用关系代词which，故填which。
（8）考查动名词。句意：创造力是关于实验和探索。作介词abut的宾语，应用动名词形式。故填explring。
（9）考查冠词。句意：你需要接受这样一个事实：创新的过程是一个旅程，在这个过程中会有正确和错误的转折。jurney为泛指且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a。故填a。
（10）考查不定式。句意：只要你能反思错误并做出相应的纠正，走错弯路也没什么可怕的。此处修饰复合不定代词nthing应用不定式作后置定语。故填t fear。
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何激发创造力。

解题方法点拨
（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"都有对此类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。
