B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·山东文登质检)Since the Sydney Story Factory opened in Redfern, my colleagues and I have taken over 8，000 young people aged 7 to 17.
Back in 2011, it seemed a risky decision to leave my job as a journalist to run the Sydney Story Factory.But later every time I see that light go on in a child's eyes when he understands the power and joy of words, I know I made the right decision.
All our programs end in a publication.This might be an animation (动画片) recorded on a DVD, or a beautiful book, but either way, it's something the students can take home and proudly show to their family.There is nothing like the smile that spreads across the face of an eight year old when he holds that publication in his hands.
There's one boy called John, I remember—whose mum almost dragged him through the door when we opened.He hated writing.But our teachers didn't treat him as a kid who was bad at writing; they were curious to find out how he was going to finish his story and what would happen next.And very slowly John's ideas came.When he threw one out, our teachers would say, “Yes.And？” Then he'd have another idea.At the end of that first course, he'd worked with a small group to produce a short animated film.Gradually, John came back himself.Nearly four years later he's still coming.
John is a very different boy from the one who first walked through our door.He's doing better at school, and he's far more confident.When younger kids come into the Sydney Story Factory, he welcomes them and shows them around.We don't claim credit for all of that, of course, but some part of it is because he has become something he never thought would be: a writer.

(2021·湖北八校联考)I arrived in my Chinese classroom, ready to share my vast knowledge and experience with the 75 students who would be my English Literature class.Having taught in the USA for 17 years, I had no worry at all about my ability to plant in my students' enthusiasm for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was really shocked when the monitor shouted “Stand up” and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat confused and anxious about how to get them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly calmed down and launched into what I thought was a fact packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps even their admiration.I went back to my room radiating that rosy glow (光泽) that comes from a sense of significant accomplishment.
My students kept journals. However as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by an overwhelming sense of frustration.The first journal said, “Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.Perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Heartbroken, I read journal after journal, each expressing a similar theme.Didn't teach them anything I sketched the entire philosophical framework of thought and laid the historical background for all the works we'll study in class. I complained, “How can they say I didn't teach them anything？”
Determined to clear myself, I dug out all my reference books, adding background material to my next lecture, researching into the sociological setting and even the psychological state of the author.After the second class, I eagerly opened the journals, expecting enthusiastic reviews at last.Again, I was crushed by their continuing comments that I was going too slowly without giving meaningful details.
More determined than ever, I dived into sources of criticism, deciding to devote more time to the texts by providing summaries of all the interpretations I could find of each work.This material would give my students ample information for drawing their own conclusions about the work's meaning.“Our teacher seems confused about the real meaning of the works，” the journals said.“One minute she gives one interpretation; the next minute she gives another.Then she asks for our opinions.We're the students.She's the teacher.She should tell us what the works mean.”
It was a long semester, and it gradually became clear to me that my ideas about education were purely Western, and that Chinese ideas differed significantly.I thought a teacher's job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher's job was to provide accurate information as directly and concisely as possible.Americans wanted to interpret and experience.The Chinese wanted to master and memorize.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章以轻松幽默的形式讲述了“我”第一次来中国教书的“不幸”经历，生动形象地展现了中西方在教育内容、思维方式上的巨大差异。
5．How did the writer feel before she began her teaching in China
A．Worried. B．Confident.
C．Disappointed. D．Confused.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I had no worry at all about my ability to plant in my students' enthusiasm for the literature of my mother tongue.(我一点都不担心自己的能力，相信自己能够培养学生对我的母语文学的热情)”可推知，作者在来中国教学之前，心中充满了自信，故选B。
6．What might be the reason why the writer was shocked when the monitor shouted “Stand up”？
A．The students intended to scare their new foreign teacher.
B．The students refused to stand up before their new foreign teacher.
C．The writer was a little shy and felt embarrassed when she entered the classroom.
D．The writer didn't know much about the Chinese classroom and that was totally unexpected.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was really shocked when the monitor shouted ‘Stand up’ and the entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat confused and anxious about how to get them to sit down again(当我走进教室班长大喊‘起立’时，我真的很震惊，我对如何让他们再次坐下感到困惑和焦虑)”可推知，作者震惊的原因是她不了解中国的教育文化，故选D。

D．She was very disappointed with herself.

B．A teacher's job is to make students think and have their own opinions.

The Joy of Absence
How some companies fight the curse of presenteeism (出勤主义)
Ronald Reagan famously joked that “it's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance？”Beyond a certain level, extra effort seems to be self defeating.Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employee productivity declines sharply.
But that doesn't stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods.Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, the Chinese e commerce group, recently praised the 996 model, where employees work from 9 a．m.to 9 p．m., six days a week, as a “great opportunity”．Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker.
There will be days when you do not have much to do; perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different company, to respond to a request.As the clock ticks past 5 p．m., there may be no purpose in staying at your desk.But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you.So you make an effort to look busy.
The consequence is often wasted effort.Rather than work hard, you slave to make bosses think that you are.But presenteeism has more serious consequences.As well as reduced productivity, this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer.According to a study in the Journal of Occupation and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers.
None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for a proper period of time.Surely there will be a need for some (preferably short)meetings.Dealing with colleagues face to face creates a feeling of togetherness, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs.
Turning an office into a prison, with inmates (囚犯)allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated.To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，每周工作约50小时后，员工的工作效率会大幅下降。文章指出出勤主义是现代办公室职员的祸根，不仅会降低工作效率，还会增加雇主的医疗费用。
9．Why does the author mention Ronald Reagan's joke in paragraph 2
A．To encourage people to grasp the chance to work hard.
B．To show that hard work is harmless.
C．To introduce the topic of the passage.
D．To praise Ronald Reagan's accomplished joking skills.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employee productivity declines sharply.”可知，作者提到罗纳德·里根的笑话是为了引出这篇文章的主题。故选C。
10．What is the meaning of the underlined sentence
A．Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.
B．With extra effort, we can defeat anybody.
C．We should say no to extra effort.
D．Extra effort isn't necessarily helpful.
D 解析：句意猜测题。根据第二段中的“Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employee productivity declines sharply.”可知，超过一定程度，额外的努力似乎不一定有用。故画线句子意思为“额外的努力不一定有用”，故选D。
11．According to the passage, which of the following situation is helpful to the company
A．Your team has a ten minute meeting after work for an urgent problem.
B．You don't go home until 7：30 p．m.because your boss is in his office and he can see you.
C．The manager tours the engineering department at 7：30 p．m.to check whether people are at their desks.
D．You attend the office even when you suffer lower back pain.
A 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Surely there will be a need for some (preferably short)meetings.Dealing with colleagues face to face creates a feeling of togetherness, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs.”可知，你的团队在下班后有一个十分钟的会议，讨论一个紧急的问题对公司有帮助。故选A。
12．Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage
A．Some managers expect workers tie themselves up with a chain to their desks.
B．Reduced productivity can mean greater medical expenses for the employer.
C．With growing demand of creativity on office workers, a prison like office is not a wise option.
D．Presence of mind guarantees your productivity.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，随着对办公室职员的创造力需求的增长，像监狱一样的办公室不是一个明智的选择。故选C。

(2021·北京四中模拟)
Are You a Prisoner of Perfection
Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach 1.________ Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can't achieve the unachievable Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self created anchor that keeps us stuck.
Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism.We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we'll win respect and approval.
2．________ Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame.They fear that showing vulnerability (弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they're weak.They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it's obvious that the emperor has no clothes.
Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future.We're constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better.3.________ However, if we can't relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism.We get painfully self conscious and take ourselves too seriously.Sadly, we deprive (剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.
4．________ We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn't mean that we are a failure.Without failures, we'll never learn from our mistakes; we'll never move forward in our lives.Those who succeed have made countless mistakes.The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.
Being human, perfection is impossible.5.________ Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we're freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.
A．Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize
B．A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.
C．Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself
D．The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.
E．There's nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self correcting along the way.
F．People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated, even if they seem outgoing and popular.
G．By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。羞耻和恐惧往往是完美主义背后的驱动力。人们总是想塑造完美的人格，而耻于暴露自己的缺点。然而，过分追求完美会使人们失去满足感，不能享受当下的乐趣。因此，我们应该学会原谅并改正自己的错误，享受生活。
1．A 解析：根据上文“Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach？”可知，本空为列举完美主义带来的问题是为一个你无法达到的目标而奋斗、有一个无法实现的理想愿景，故选A。
2．D 解析：本句为段首主题句。根据本段最后一句“They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it's obvious that the emperor has no clothes.(他们坚持正确、完美和优雅的愿望，即使很明显皇帝没有穿衣服)”可知，沉迷于保持完美让我们不能忍受任何不完美的迹象，故选D。
3．E 解析：根据上文“We're constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better.(为了做得更好，我们不断地评估自己)”下文评价这样的行为“想要做最好的自己，并在过程中自我纠正，这没有什么错。”故选E。
4．B 解析：根据下文“We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn't mean that we are a failure.(我们意识到，在任何企业中失败都不意味着我们就是一个失败者)”可知，本段强调要学会容忍我们人类的缺点是治愈完美主义的方法，故选B。
5．G 解析：根据下文“Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we're freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.(把自己从保护形象的欲望中释放出来，我们就能从容地走过成功和失败——享受我们宝贵的生命)”本空强调要通过接受自己，并尽我们最大的努力，开始摆脱驱动完美主义的羞耻，故选G。
