二、阅读理解
1
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.
21.What does the word “delusional” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A.Practical.
B.Realistic.
C.Abstract.
D.Imaginary.
22.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
23.According to the writer, what make “greatness”?
A.Raw talent.
B.Talent and time.
C.Extraordinary efforts.
D.Ten thousand hours of practice.
24.Which of the following might be the best title?
A.Hope Bends
B.Frustrating Decades
C.Practice Works
D.Youthful Expectation
【答案】21.D22.B23.B24.A
【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。

21.
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。

22.
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。

23.
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 developin g 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。

24.
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。

For many years doctors have warned us about the dangers of stress (压力) and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a chronic (慢性的) illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in a traffic jam, should be avoided whenever possible. However, some medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.
Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expe rt, points out that what he calls "good stress” is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer. Dr Kyriazis says that “good stress” can strengthen our natural defences which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheimer's and heart problems.
According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to meet a deadline are examples of “good stress”, that is situations with short-term or low stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly, and gives us a sense of achievement — we did it! However, in both situations, the stress damages the cells(细胞) in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells own repair mechanism “switches on”and it produces proteins wh ich repair the damaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the body's response is greater than is needed to repair the damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.
“As the body gets older, this self-repair mechanism of the cells starts to slow down,” says Dr Kyriazis.“The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to ‘exercise’ it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong. This means having a certain amou nt of stress in our lives.”Other stressful activities that Kyriazis suggests as being good stress include redecorating a room in your house over the weekend, packing your suitcase in a
hurry to reach the airport on time, or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break.
So next time your boss tells you that she wants to see the report finished and on her desk in 45 minutes, don't worry; just think of it as “good stress” which will benefit your long-term health!
25.What is Dr Kyriazis' opinion probably based on?
A.How to get a sense of achievement.
B.How to cut down our stress levels.
C.The benefits of doing physical exercise.
D.The relationship between stress and health.
26.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The daily stress.
B.Long-term stress.
C.The increasing stress.
D.Short-term or low stress.
27.According to Dr Kyriazis, which of the following may be “good stress”?
A.Being stuck in a traffic jam.
B.Packing for a trip at the last minute.
C.Being late for work for several days.
D.Looking after a patient with heart trouble.
28.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Stress beats success
B.Stress attracts illness
C.Get stressed, stay young
D.Less stress, better health
【答案】25.D26.D27.B28.C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。

短文介绍了“良好的压力”对我们的健康有益”，事实上，“良好的压力”可能有助于我们保持年轻、有魅力，甚至活得更长。

【详解】
1.推理判断题。

根据第二段第一句“Dr Marios Kyriazis，an anti-ageing expert, points out that what he. calls "good stress" is beneficial to our health and may,in fact, help us stayyoung and attractive and even live longer.”（抗衰老专家Marios Kyriazis 博士指出，他所谓的“良好压力”有益于我们的健康，事实上，可能帮助我们保持年轻，有魅力，甚至活得更久。

）可知，Kyriazis博士的观点可能基于压力和健康之间的关系。

故选D。

2. 词句猜测题。

根据上文中“According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to meet a deadline are examples of “good stress”, that is situations with shor t-term or low stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly,
and gives us a sense of achievement — we did it!（就是短期或低压力的情况。

压力通常会让我们反应迅速，给我们一种成就感——我们做到了！）根据上文‘“In fact, the body's response is greater than is needed to repair the damage”可知，事实上，人体的反应大于修复损伤所需的反应，所以短期或低压力实际上使细胞比以前更强壮。

）可以推知，此处“it”指的是“短期或低压力”。

故选D。

3. 推理判断题。

根据“Other stressful activities that Kyriazis suggests as feeing good stress includeredecoratinga roomin your house over the weekend, packing your suitcasein ahurry toreach the airport on time,or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break.”（Kyriazis 建议的其他有压力的活动包括感觉良好的压力，周末在家里装修房间，快速打包你的西装准时到达机场，或者在午休时间去参加一个晚宴。

）可知，在最后一分钟打包行李去旅行可能是好的压力。

故选B。

4. 主旨大意题。

根据第一段“However, some medical experts now believe that certain kinds o f stress may actually be good for us.”然而，一些医学专家现在相信，某些种类的压力实际上可能对我们有益。

根据第二段“Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expert, points out that what he calls "good stress” is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive an d even live longer. ”抗衰老专家马里奥斯·基里亚齐斯博士指出，他所说的“良好的压力”对我们的健康有益，事实上，可能有助于我们保持年轻、有魅力，甚至活得更长。

所以短文的最佳标题为“ 承受压力，保持年轻”。

故选C。

Four Tips for High School Graduates
Over three-million high school students are graduating this spring in the United States. Many of them will head to university in the fall. The transition (过渡) from high school to college is a major one, and successful adjustment to college has lifelong influences.
Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest. 29. If you know someone who is making this transition or know parents guiding their soon-to-be adult kids through this time, please take a moment to share this collection of research-based tips with them.
Be open to making new friends as soon as you set foot on campus. Even during orientation (迎新会)! 30. Your success in college depends, in part, on surrounding yourself with others who can support you and help you have fun.
31. Successful adjustment is about reaching out for help when you need it. This means trying to find the answers on your own first, but then contacting those who can help you when you can’t. That is what they are there for!
Lean on your family. Family support can give you comfort when classes get hard or you are stressed about finals.

【答案】29.A30.F31.C32.G33.B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。

本文为今年春天在美国的300多万高中生毕业的四点建议。

29.根据上下文Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest.可知，也许你正准备自己完成这个转变，或者你的孩子即将离开家。

A选项中的you和前文相符，且语意（这份清单是给你的）承接上下文，故选A项。

30.根据Be open to making new friends as soon as you set foot on campus.一踏上校园就开始结交新朋友。

可知F 选项中的make friends和本段主旨句中的making new friends相符，且句意（几乎每个人都和你一样，希望能很快交到朋友）联系上下文。

故选F项。

31.分析句子结构可知，空处填本段的主旨句，再根据下文内容，可知首先你要自己找寻答案，在你不能的时候去联系能帮助你的人，故C选项可以概括下文，且下文That is what they are there for!中的they指代选项中your professors or teaching assistants.故选C项。

32.根据本段的第一句Lean on your family. 可知G选项中family members与主旨句中的your family相呼应，且句意（当课程变得困难或你对期末考试感到压力时，家庭支持可以给你带来安慰）联系上下文，故选G 项。

33.根据空前的Feeling anxiety about communicating with fellows, professors, and speaking up in class is associated with lower adaptation during the transition to college. 在向大学过渡的过程中，对与同事、教授交流以及在课堂上发言感到焦虑与较低的适应能力有关。

可知B选项中speak up和前文内容的speaking up相呼应，且句意（你在课堂上讲得越多，就越容易。

）联系上文，故选B项。

【分析】
这是一篇议论文。

文章论述的是“给予是最大的仁慈。

”
34.考查固定句型。

句意：仁慈之于灵魂，犹如阳光之于庄稼。

固定句型：A is to B what C is to D.“A对B就像C对D一样”。

故填what。

35.考查一般过去时态。

句意：温斯顿·丘吉尔曾经说过:“我们靠得到的东西生存;我们通过给予来创造生活。

”
根据once“曾经”说明句子用一般过去时态，故填observed。

36.考查副词。

句意：许多活动自愿帮助老人、残疾人和儿童。

此处aid“帮助”是动词，由副词修饰，所给词volunteer“自愿的”是形容词，其副词是voluntarily。

故填voluntarily。

37.考查不定冠词。

句意：没有人是在快乐给予的阳光下的孤岛。

此处表示泛指，且lonely以辅音音素开头。

故填a。

38.考查过去分词作表语。

句意：有时我们陷入生活的“老鼠赛跑”，成功的不确定性使我们气馁。

固定结构：get +过去分词，表示“变得被”。

此处get是连系动词，后面通常用过去分词作表语，故填locked。

39.考查名词。

句意：有时我们陷入生活的“老鼠赛跑”，成功的不确定性使我们气馁。

分析句子结构，the用在名词前面，所给词certain“必然的，确定的”，其名词形式是cert ainty“确定性”，再结合句意这里应该用certainty的反义词。

故填uncertainty。

40.考查虚拟语气。

句意：考虑到志愿服务的重要性，现在是我们卷起袖子伸出援助之手的时候了。

固定句型：It’s time that 主语+should +动词原形+其他，表示“现在是该做某事的时间了”，从句谓语动词用虚拟语气，should +动词原形。

故填should roll。

41.考查固定词组。

句意：根据我自己的经验，我在当地动物收容所做志愿者，继续照顾我那些毛茸茸的朋友。

固定词组：in respect of“关于，涉及”。

故填of。

42.考查定语从句。

句意：根据我自己的经验，我在当地动物收容所做志愿者，继续照顾我那些毛茸茸的朋友。

此处shelter是先行词，在后面的定语从句中作地点状语。

故填where。

43.考查固定搭配。

句意：我希望我的努力可以激励我周围的人致力于志愿服务，创造一个我们需要的美德的循环。

固定搭配：devote oneself to“献身于”。

这里指周围的人致力于志愿服务，所以用反身代词themselves。

故填themselves。
