A
I always wanted to be extraordinary at something. Not just as in, “Great job, Jimbo!” No, I wanted to be best-
in-class, awe-inspiring, tiptop; a world-famous genius, like Michael Phelps or Mark Zuckerberg.
Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those ivy-league schools.
Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. God apparently had other plans.
What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every tum. Some folks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose (剂量) of it. Why couldn’t I be like Bernie William, the famed New Yorkees player who also happens to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso (艺术大师)?
Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time. Around ten thousand hours, to be precise, according to author Malcolm Gladwell. I don’t question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one’s expertise, but it seems that raw talent is equally important. You either have it or you don’t.
I’ve heard that as people approach middle age, their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality. After a few decades of frustration without the desired results, we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out, even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectation.
Hope bends, it seems.
1．What does the word “delusional” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．Practical.B．Realistic.
C．Abstract.D．Imaginary.
2．In the passage, the writer thinks of himself as__________.
A．a world-famous genius B．a mid-sized fish in a small pond
C．a world-class virtuoso D．a student in an ivy-league school
3．According to the writer, what make “greatness”?
A．Raw talent.B．Talent and time.
C．Extraordinary efforts.D．Ten thousand hours of practice.
4．Which of the following might be the best title?
A．Hope Bends B．Frustrating Decades
C．Practice Works D．Youthful Expectation
【答案】DBBA
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

作者通过自身的经验讲述，年轻时想成为最优秀的人，但是实际与期望有偏差，成功需要有天赋及付出时间。

于是，在经历了若干年的失败之后，我们最终接受了自己。

1．词句猜测题。

根据第一段中的“I always wanted to be extraordinary at something.(我一直想在某方面出类拔萃)”及划线词所在句“Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision.”中的did not quite line up with(与……不一致)可推出“现实与想象的版本是不一样的”。

故选D。

2．细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. (虽然我在几个领域达到了中等以上的水平，但是令人失望的是，我只不过是小池塘里一条中等大小的鱼)”可知，作者把自己比喻成小池塘里的一条中等大的鱼，比上不足比下有余。

故选B。

3．细节理解题。

根据第五段中的“Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time.(一些人说，伟大仅仅是投入练习时间的结果)”和“I don’t question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one’s expertise, but it seems that raw talent is equally important.(我不怀疑付出努力来培养专业的理论，但是似乎原始的天赋也同等重要)”可知，作者认为时间和天赋同等重要。

故选B。

4．主旨大意题。

结合本文作者通过自身经历得出的结论，成功需要有时间，更需要有天赋，再根据文章最后一段“Hope bends, it seems.(似乎希望屈服了)”可知，作者想要表达希望在现实的限制下，未必都会实现。

故选A。

B
It sounds like science fiction, but the world’s first floating dairy farm(奶牛场), the brainchild of Dutch company Beladon, will become a reality.
Though the project has been in the works for years, the farm only recently got the green light for construction.
This summer, a 900-ton platform was pulled to its current position in Rotterdam’s harbor. It will soon be a multi-level home to 40 cows.
According to Peter, owner of Beladon, animal welfare was important when they were designing the farm. The finished farm will feature a “cow garden” on the top floor, with artificial trees and bushes to offer shade. A team of robots will be hired, collecting about 800 liters of milk per day. The milk will then be processed on the floor below and sold locally. In their free time, however, cows can walk a ramp(斜坡) to reach the firm ground on the bank. Tasty waste from the city—cut grass, potato skins, etc.—will be their main food source. And waste from the farm will be used as fertilizer throughout Rotterdam.
The building will attract many visitors, but the real focus is food security. Getting cows on the water is a great step towards creating healthier cities. The idea first came in 2012, while Peter was in New York. When Hurricane Sandy hit, he watched the city’s transportation paralyzed(瘫痪的) as Manhattan’s roads were filled with water. Trucks for food distribution couldn’t move anymore. After two days, there was no fresh food in the stores. Then Peter had a thought: To create a climate-adaptive method of producing fresh, local food, why not harvest right on the water? “You’re going up and down with the tide, and you don’t need the transport.”
Though it’s just one small farm, the project can serve as a model for cities across the globe. A building on the water is transportable, so you can move it when necessary.
5．What do we know about the dairy farm?
A．It is put into use.B．It is located in the deep sea.
C．It is owned by the government.D．It is meant to serve local citizens.
6．According to the design of the dairy farm, the cows will ________.
A．have access to the real land.B．wander in the real garden.
C．be monitored by a team of robots.D．feed on the plants grown on the farm.
7．What is the main purpose of Beladon in building the farm?
A．To found a new scenic spot.B．To help ensure food supply.
C．To reduce pressure on transport.D．To improve the local environment.
【答案】DAB
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

主要讲述的是荷兰Beladon公司的创意——浮动奶牛场，它作为世界上第一个浮动奶牛场，将成为现实。

5．细节理解题。

根据文章第三段“The milk will then be processed on the floor below and sold locally.(然后，牛奶将在地板上加工，并在当地销售)”可知，奶牛场所生产的牛奶就在当地出售。

即服务于当地的群众。

故选D。

6．细节理解题。

根据文章第三段“n their free time, however, cows can walk a ramp to reach the firm ground on the bank.(然而，在它们的空闲时间，奶牛可以走一个坡道，到达河岸上坚实的地面)”可知，奶牛可以通过坡道走到真实的陆地上。

故选A。

7．推理判断题。

根据文章倒数第二段“The idea first came in 2012, while Peter was in New York. When Hurricane Sandy hit, he watched the city's transportation paralyzed as Manhattan’s roads were filled with water. Trucks for food distribution couldn’t move anymore. After two days, there was no fresh food in the stores. Then Peter had a thought: To create a climate-adaptive method of producing fresh, local food, why not harvest right on the water? You going up and down with the tide, and you don’t need the transport.(这个想法最早出现在2012
年，Peter还在纽约。

当飓风Sandy袭来时，他看到曼哈顿的道路被水淹没，城市交通瘫痪。

分发食品的卡车再也无法移动。

后两天，商店里没有新鲜的食物，于是彼得有了一个想法：为了创造一种适应气候的方法来生产新鲜的本地食物，为什么不直接在水上收获呢？你会随着潮水涨落，不需要运输)”可知，Peter在纽约看到由于飓风所造成的交通瘫痪，食物运输不便，由此想在水上种植。

这样不仅可以生产新鲜的食物，还不需要运输。

由此推知，Beladon建造农场的主要目的是为了保证食物的供应。

故选B。

C
The final bell rings at a high school in downtown Los Angeles. Nearly every student walking out of the school gate studies a screen, with their head bowed down. Over the past decade, such scenes have become quite common — at least in the United Sates. Research indicates that American millennials look at their phones 150 times a day on average.
In the meantime, the number of American teenagers reporting feelings of depression has grown significantly. Some people blame the increase on the Great Recession following 2008 and other social changes. However, a big new study suggests a different explanation —the rise of social media. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, led the study.
With data collected from more than 50,000 American teenagers, she found that those who spent lots of time on social media were more likely to agree with remarks such as “The future often seems hopeless.” Those who used screens less, spending time playing sports or socializing with friends in person, were less likely to report feelings of depression.
This, in fact, is not the first time that scientists have found that social media can rob people of their happiness. One study published in 2016 asked a randomly selected group of adults to quit Facebook for a week. It turned out that they reported feeling less depressed at the end of the week than those who continued using it.
Some research, however, suggests that social-networking sites can promote happiness if used to engage directly with other users, rather than just to feel jealous of happy moments someone shares online. This provides a reminder that it is users’ attitudes that shape their experiences on social media.“I often remind myself that it's all filtered," reflects Sarah, a junior at the high school in Los Angeles. “People only post what they want you to see, so it can seem that their life is superior to yours.” But when asked if she has ever considered deleting her social media accounts, Sarah looks confused.“No. I would feel lost.”
8．What is the topic of the passage?
A．Feelings of depression.B．The rise of social media.
C．Addiction to recreation.D．The use of smart phones.
9．What can we learn from the two studies in paragraph 3 and 4?
A．Sports and socialization are supposed to be encouraged.
B．Most American teenagers have sunk into hopelessness.
C．Social media have negative effects on people's feelings.
D．People are not in a position to live without social media.
10．According to Sarah, what is the right attitude to others’ happy moments shared online?
A．Jealous.B．Critical.C．Concerned.D．Tolerant.
【答案】BCB
【分析】这是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了有研究表明社交媒体的兴起与感到抑郁的美国青少年人数增加存在关系，介绍了这项研究开展的过程，以及研究发现社交媒体对人们的情绪有负面影响。

然而，也有一些研究表明，如果社交网站能直接与其他用户互动，而不仅仅是嫉妒别人在网上分享的快乐时光，那么它就能提高人们的幸福感。

8．主旨大意题。

根据第二段中“In the meantime, the number of American teenagers reporting feelings of depression has grown significantly. Some people blame the increase on the Great Recession following 2008 and other social changes. However, a big new study suggests a different explanation — the rise of social media.(与此同时，报告感到抑郁的美国青少年人数显著增加。

一些人将这种增长归咎于2008年之后的大衰退和其他社会变化。

然而，一项新的大型研究给出了一个不同的解释——社交媒体的兴起)”结合文章主要介绍了有研究表明社交媒体的兴起与感到抑郁的美国青少年人数增加存在关系，介绍了这项研究开展的过程，以及研究发现社交媒体对人们的情绪有负面影响。

然而，也有一些研究表明，如果社交网站能直接与其他用户互动，而不仅仅是嫉妒别人在网上分享的快乐时光，那么它就能提高人们的幸福感。

由此可知，这篇文章的主题是社交媒体的兴起。

故选B。

9．细节理解题。

根据第三段“With data collected from more than 50,000 American teenagers, she found that those who spent lots of time on social media were more likely to agree with remarks such as “The future often seems hopeless.” Those who used screens less, spending time playing sports or socializing with friends in person, were less likely to report feelings of depression.(在收集了5万多名美国青少年的数据后，她发现，那些花大量时间在社交媒体上的人更有可能同意“未来往往似乎没有希望”等言论。

“那些较少使用屏幕、花时间做运动或与朋友面对面社交的人报告感到抑郁的可能性较小。

”)”以及第四段中“This, in fact, is not the first time that scientists have found that social media can rob people of their happiness. (事实上，这并不是科学家们第一次发现社交媒体会剥夺人们的幸福感)”可知，社交媒体对人们的情绪有负面影响。

故选C。

10．推理判断题。

根据最后一段中““I often remind myself that it’s all filtered,” reflects Sarah, a junior at the high school in Los Angeles. “People only post what they want you to see, so it can seem that their life is superior to yours.”(“我经常提醒自己，这一切都是经过过滤的，”洛杉矶一所高中的三年级学生萨拉回忆道。

“人们只发布他们想让你看的东西，所以看起来他们的生活比你的好。

”)”可推知，莎拉认为，应该批判地对待别人在网上分享的快乐时光。

故选B。

Feeling Phone-overwhelmed?
Many people are feeling “phone-overwhelmed”, longing for a “simpler time” when smart-phones didn’t exist. Actually you don’t necessarily need to throw your brand new iPhone into the toilet or promise to never, ever use it again. Things don’t have to be that black or white.11．Here are a few simple steps
Make a plan. To earn a college degree, you select specific classes happening at specific times and you attend them. This keeps you on track, moving steadily towards your goal.12．Choose specific times to check texts, social media updates, and so on, and then do your best to stick to the plan. Create phone-routines that help you to create the kind of day (and life) that you want.
Enjoy the sound of silence to the fullest. If your phone is continually ringing every time “something happens.” it’s going to be tough for you to stay focused- you cannot help checking in and seeing what’s up！It may seem obvious to turn off those noisy notifications.13．You can also create a “call filter” so that certain people’s calls come through even if your phone is on “silent.” That way you can rest easy, knowing you won’t miss something truly urgent.
14．For many couples and families, dinnertime is the only time of the day when everyone is gathered together in one place Make dinner a special, sacred time without techie distractions. No phones at the table. If people get
restless or bored, strike up an interesting conversation by playing a question game.
Ask yourself, “What am I desiring right now?” When you feel the urge to check your phone and you don’t really “need” to, pause for moment.15．Do you seek out company, entertainment or inspiration? Whatever you want, see if you can find a non-phone-related wav to satisfy yourself. Go for a jog, listen to music or pop by a friend`s house to say “hi”. Feeding your spirit in the “real world”, you may discover that the “phone world” just isn’t that appealing anymore.
A．Take some phone-free time
B．Make dinnertime a phone-free zone.
C．You can apply that same logic to your smartphone usage,
D．See how it feels to move freely without your phone.

window.”可知作者停止了哭泣，由此可推断出作者的父母看到作者不哭了，松了一口气，a sigh of relief意为“松了一口气”，符合句意。

故选D项。

【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了来自洛杉矶的作家Coates如何收集和研究室内植物以及室内植物所带来的好处。

36．考查时态语态。

句意：33岁的洛杉矶作家Jennifer Coates自今年1月开始收集室内植物以来，已经积累了110多种。

根据时间状语“since she began collecting in January”可知，句子需要使用现在完成时。

但文章并没有说Coates到现在就不收集了，那么表示Coates还可能将继续下去，所以也可以用现在完成进行时。

主语Coates是单数，且与谓语动词accumulate是主动关系。

故填has accumulated或has been accumulating。

37．考查冠词。

句意：今天，它们是她日常生活中必不可少的一部分。

part是可数名词，前面需要用冠词修饰。

此处表达的含义是“必不可少的一部分”是泛指概念，需要用不定冠词，essential(重要的)又是以元音音素开头。

故填an。

38．考查定语从句。

句意：每天早上，她都会从床上下来，然后走向起居室。

在那里，她开始了45分钟的植物之旅，完全专注于在植物文化中。

先行词room(房间)在定语从句中做地点状语，故用关系副词where引导限制性定语从句。

故填where。

39．考查非谓语动词。

句意见上一题。

分析句子可知，前后主语一致，省略主语和be动词，过去分词buried表示状态。

固定短语be buried in译为“专注于……”。

故填buried。

40．考查固定短语。

句意：这似乎有些极端，但Coates只是许多初露头角的植物爱好者中的一员，他们每天花上几个小时和数千美元在家里培育植物。

固定短语devote......to译为“投入/致力于……”。

故填to。

41．考查时态语态。

句意：Coates最初就是这样上瘾的。

根据句中“initially(最初的)”的可知，句子陈述过去的事实，需要用一般过去时。

主语Coates是单数，与谓语动词addict是被动关系。

故填was addicted。

42．考查副词。

句意。

尽管植物狂热似乎是一种流行的社交媒体，但年轻一代却特别适合与植物保持长久的爱情。

此处修饰谓语动词词组is suited to(适合于)，需要用副词。

故填uniquely。

43．考查形容词比较级。

句意：与其他生物（如宠物）相比，植物通常不需要太多的关注，但它们仍然为人们提供了饲养东西的机会。

根据句首的“Compared with other living things(和其他生物相比)”可知，此处存在比较关系，表达“更少”的含义。

故填less。

44．考查非谓语动词。

句意见上一题。

句子已经有了谓语动词provide，所以此处的动词raise要以非谓语的形式出现。

opportunity后跟to do不定式作后置定语，表示“做……的机会”。

故填to raise。

45．考查名词。

句意：她解释说，植物可以提供更大的成就感和目标感。

根据and后的名词purpose(目的)可知，此处填入不可数名词achievement来做of的宾语。

构成固定短语a sense of achievement译为“成就感”。

故填achievement。
