You’ve likely encountered the humblebrag before — boasting（吹嘘）disguised as a complaint, such as: “I’m having such a stressful day. I got two job offers and I don’t know what to do. ”
This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “a specific type of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt that should normally accompany such claims”. In simpler terms, it’s a way to disguise a boast with some humility. Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humility-based, an example being, “I can’t believe I got the highest grade in my class.” The second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example, “I can’t believe that shopkeeper asked me for ID. I’m 25! ”
People don’t like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to people’s identity. In fact, sincerity is prized even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.
If humblebragging doesn’t work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expression of humility, we hope we’ll somehow land on the “sweet spot” of self-presentation: promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive emotions while humblebragging.
Considering that we’re all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go — because ultimately we’re going to do it ourselves, and to be who really want to be called out on it
24. Which of the following remarks is an example of humblebragging
A. How I hate hearing my voice on TV!
B. I’m thrilled to be awarded the first prize.
C. I’m the only person to get promoted in the firm.
D. How I dislike doing the same thing every day!
25. Which can best describe people’s impression of humblebraggers
A. Honest. B. Humble. C. Insincere. D. Incapable.
26. Why do people humblebrag
A. To lift their spirits. B. To express their complaints.
C. To improve their moral qualities. D. To show off without bringing annoyance.
27. What are people advised to do when hearing a humblebrag from a friend
A. Follow it up. B. Leave it alone.
C. Turn against it. D. Get to the root of it.
C
Recently I’ve had two good roles on television. But when I was just getting started in theater work 17 years ago, I never thought I’d make it. Back then I was recovering from surgery and had been off work for six months. Even worse, as a single mother with three youngsters, I had no place to live in. I felt hopeless.
One Sunday morning I saw actor Robert Young on the television talking about his faith: Believe yourself! If we confidently take that first step well, take the next, until we reach our goal.
The first step was scary. After I went working part-time, I looked for an apartment. The ones I saw were either too expensive, or I couldn’t raise my children in them. I knew a house, not an apartment, was more suitable for me. However, after seeing several houses, my confidence was shaken. I found two seemed right, but when I was about to make an offer, someone else had ordered.
I remembered a saying, “When one door closes, a better one opens.” I wouldn’t just sit staring at the closed one but got up and struggled on. In a real estate (房地产) agent, I found a small house with proper price. To buy it, I had to borrow $ 3,000 for a down payment and get a mortgage (按揭). Common sense argued that a mortgage for a single mother working part-time was impossible. But I had enough self-confidence without following common sense.
After getting the house, my new self-confidence grew. Later , when I began filling small parts in television productions, that self-confidence showed. I'd always played the role as the director wanted. Now I find myself freer to interpret (演绎) it.
Self-confidence has made it through life. Trouble can be scary at first, but each time I take that step, I believe I will win the next.
28. How did the author feel when entering television industry at first
A. Hopeful. B. Embarrassed. C. Pessimistic. D. Aggressive.
29. Why does the author mention her experience of finding a house
A. To show the value of self-confidence.
B. To share her different life experiences.
C. To introduce her toughest part of life.
D. To tell us her ways to get over difficulty.
30. What mainly helped the author perform well in her later acting
A. Her sense of confidence. B. The difficulty in her life.
C. The director’s good direction. D. Her success in her first attempt.
31. What may be the best title for the text
A. Appear on the Stage B. Struggle with Life
C. Stick to Your Plan D. Believe in Yourself
D
While children are dogs—loyal and affectionate (情深的)—teenagers are cats. It′s so easy to be a dog owner. You feed it, train it, and boss it around. It puts its head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt painting. It bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it.
Then around age 13, your adoring little puppy turns into a big old cat. When you tell it to come inside, it looks amazed, as if wondering who died and made you emperor. Instead of dogging your doorsteps, it disappears. You won′t see it again until it gets hungry―then it pauses on its sprint through the kitchen long enough to turn its nose up at whatever you′re serving. When you reach out to ruffle its head, in that old affectionate gesture, it turns away from you, then gives you a blank stare, as if trying to remember where it has seen you before.
You, not realizing that the dog is now a cat, think something must be desperately wrong with it. It seems so antisocial, so distant, sort of depressed. It won′t go on family outings.
Since you are the one who raised it, taught it to fetch and stay and sit on command, you assume that you did something wrong. Flooded with guilt and fear, you redouble your efforts to make your pet behave.
Only now you′re dealing with a cat, so everything that worked before now produces the opposite of the desired result. Call it, and it runs away. Tell it to sit, and it jumps on the counter. The more you go toward it, wringing your hands, the more it moves away.
Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. But remember that a cat needs your help and your affection too. Sit still, and it will come, seeking that warm, comforting lap it has not entirely forgotten. Be there to open the door for it.
One day your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “You′ve been on your feet all day. Let me get those dishes for you.”
Then you′ll realize your cat is a dog again.
32. What does the word “It” refer to in the third paragraph
A. A dog B. A parent
C. A teenager D. A situation
33. When you call a dog, how will it probably react to you
A. Indifferently B. Excitedly
C. Angrily D. Calmly
34. What can we learn from the passage
A. Children like cats can not easily follow parents′ directions.
B. Parents should try their best to leave their children alone.
C. You can′t expect children to be considerate toward their parents.
D. Parents should consider what they do wrong to educate their kids.
35. What is the main purpose of writing this passage
A. To tell us how a dog changes into a cat.
B. To tell us how to raise pets like cats and dogs.
C. To tell us the similarities between pets and children.
D. To tell us how to deal with teenagers aged 13 or so.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As a teen, have you ever been called childish(幼稚的) or “immature” by adults or older peers in your life 36 . If you want your behavior to reflect maturity, start off with:
If you want to act in a mature fashion, you need to respect authority. No matter where you go home, school, or work—you will have to obey rules set by authority figures. ___37___, so follow them. It's normal for teens to want to push back against authority sometimes. If you want to discuss rules with authority figures, argue your case in a respectful manner. That way, the adult is more likely to listen.
38 . Follow through with commitments and take care of yourself and your responsibilities on your own as much as you can. If you do get in trouble for some reason, be honest and accept whatever consequences might follow. By holding yourself responsible for your own actions, you can show your maturity to your parents and others.
Improve your manners. Having good manners shows respect. 39 . Good manners cover a wide range of behaviors: saying “yes, sir/ ma'am”, answering the phone with “hello”, not interrupting others' conversations, chewing with your mouth closed, and holding the door for the person walking behind you.
Develop smart and healthy habits. A mature teen knows to say “no” to delinquent behaviors. Using alcohol and drugs, lying, stealing, fighting, acting recklessly, or destroying others' property will only get you into trouble or hurt. 40 . And stay away from negative influences.
A. Be responsible
B. Manage your time wisely
C. In most cases, these rules are set to keep you and others safe
D. Proper behavior also helps adults see you as more mature
E. Instead, be drug-free, and wear your seat belt when driving a car
F. If you have, I'd bet you'd love nothing more than to prove them wrong
G. Become more mature by improving emotional responses and communication style

Dear Jack,
I’m Li Hua, a Chinese student in senior two. I’m sorry to hear that you can’t come to the calligraphy exhibition due to the pandemic. But don’t worry, because I’m writing to recommend myself to livestream it for you.
I believe I’m the right person for the following reasons. Firstly, my fluency in English allows us to communicate with each other efficiently. Besides, I’ve learnt calligraphy as a child, so I’m familiar with the works on show and can help you know more about Chinese calligraphy through this exhibition. Lastly, I have a good command of several livestreaming apps.
I sincerely hope my proposal could be considered and I wish you all the best. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

Sports and games are very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country. But what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. As most of the pupils' time is spent in classes studying lessons, an ordinary day school can't give much practical training for their lives in the future. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team, and not for himself on the football field, he will lately find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.

24. A 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“a specific type of boast...should normally accompany such claims”可知，它是一种以看似谦虚的方式或用苦恼的口吻吹嘘自己的说话方式。
25. C 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“People don’t like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. ”可知，当人们听到别人吹嘘自己的时候，会觉得说话者不真诚。
26. D 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seeming proud. ”可知，人们以看似谦虚的方式或用苦恼的口吻吹嘘自己是为了以一种不让人感到生气的方式炫耀自己。

C篇：CAAD
这是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己凭着自信战胜了生活中的困难的故事，告诉我们自信的重要性。
28.C推理判断题。根据第一段中“But when I was just getting started in theater work 17 years ago, I never thought I'd make it. Back then I was recovering from surgery and had been off work for six months. Even worse, as a single mother with three youngsters, I had no place to live in. I felt hopeless.(但17年前，当我刚刚开始戏剧工作时，我从没想过我会成功。当时我刚做完手术，休养了六个月。更糟糕的是，作为一个带着三个孩子的单身母亲，我没有地方住。我感到绝望)”可知，作者刚进入演员行业时穷困潦倒，从未想过能取得成功，所以那个时候她是悲观的。故选C项。
29.A.推理判断题。阅读第三段和第四段作者买房的经历，尤其根据第四段结尾“But I had enough self-confidence without following common sense.(但我没有遵循常识，也有足够的自信)”以及第五段开头“After getting the house, my new self-confidence grew. Later , when I began filling small parts in television productions, that self-confidence showed.(得到房子后，我的自信心增强了。后来，当我开始在电视节目中扮演小角色时，那种自信就显露出来了)”可知，作者描述买房的经历，意在表明自信心的作用。故选A项。
30.A细节理解题。根据第五段中“After getting the house, my new self-confidence grew. Later , when I began filling small parts in television productions, that self-confidence showed.(得到房子后，我的自信心增强了。后来，当我开始在电视节目中扮演小角色时，那种自信就显露出来了)”可知，作者后来的表演中表现得很好都源于她的自信。故选A项。
31.D主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段“Self-confidence has made it through life. Trouble can be scary at first, but each time I take that step, I believe I will win the next.(自信贯穿一生。麻烦一开始是可怕的，但每走一步，我就相信自己会赢下一步)”可知，本文通过讲述自己的亲身经历表达了自信心的重要性，选项D“相信你自己”突出主题，简明扼要，适合做标题。故选D项。
D篇：C B A D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。主要讲述了如何应对13岁左右的青少年。文中将儿童时期的孩子比作听话的狗狗，而把青少年则看作猫，并且通过对比狗与猫的生活习惯和对主人指示的不同反应，告诉我们青春期的孩子是不同于儿童时期的孩子，对13岁左右的青少年，我们不要抓的太紧，要适当给予他们私人空间，并适时地给予他们帮助和关爱。
32.词句猜测题。单词所在句子是“It seems so antisocial, so distant, sort of depressed. It won′t go on family outings. ( 它似乎很不爱社交、很冷淡、有点儿沮丧，它不会去家庭郊游。)”，联系上文可知，本文是将小时候的孩子比喻成忠诚的狗，而把青少年看作是猫，另外根据第三段中的 “You,not realizing that the dog is now a cat, think something must be desperately wrong with it.(你没有意识到这只狗现在是一只猫，你认为它一定是出了什么严重的问题)”可推断，此处“it (它)”指已经变成猫的青少年，故选C项。
33.细节理解题。根据第一段中的最后一句“It bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it. ( 当你叫它的时候，它会热情地在室内跳来跳去)”可知，当你叫狗的时候，它会很热情地、很兴奋地回应你，故选B项。
34.推理判断题。根据第一段第一 句中的“While children are dogs--loyal and affectionate (情深的) ( 孩子们是忠诚并情深的狗)”和最后一句“It bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it. ( 当你叫它的时候，它会热情地在室内跳来跳去)”可知，狗对人很忠诚，它会听从你的指示;根据倒数第二段中的“Call it, and it runs away. Tell it to sit, and it jumps on the counter. The more you go toward it, wringing your hands, the more it moves away. ( 叫它，它就跑了。告诉它坐下，它会跳上柜台。你扭动着手越是靠近它，它就越远离你)”可知,猫不是很听主人的话，由此可知，狗更加忠诚、听话，而猫则不会很容易就听从你的指令，因此推断像猫的孩子很可能不听从父母的指示。故选A项。
35.推理判断题。根据第一段的“While children are dogs—loyal and affectionate (情深的)—teenagers are cats.( 孩子们是狗——忠诚和深情——青少年是猫。)”和第二段的“Then around age 13, your adoring little puppy turns into a big old cat.( 在13岁左右，你崇拜的小狗变成了一只大老猫。)”结合整篇文章可知，文中将儿童时期的孩子比作听话的狗狗，而把青少年则看作猫，并且通过对比狗与猫的生活习惯和对主人指示的不同反应，告诉人们青春期的孩子是不同于儿童时期的孩子，针对青春期的孩子，应该采用不同的教育方法，故选D项。

【37题详解】
根据前文“No matter where you go home, school, or work—you will have to obey rules set by authority figures.”（无论你在家里、学校还是工作，你必须要遵守权威人物设定的规则）推知，选项承接上文，解释这样做的原因。故C选项“在大多数情况下，设定这些规则是为了保护你和他人的安全”符合语境，rules是关键词。故选C项。
【38题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Follow through with commitments and take care of yourself and your responsibilities on your own as much as you can. If you do get in trouble for some reason, be honest and accept whatever consequences might follow. By holding yourself responsible for your own actions, you can show your maturity to your parents and others”（坚持做出承诺，尽可能照顾好自己和遵守承诺。如果你真的因为某些原因惹上麻烦，要诚实，接受任何可能的后果。通过让自己对自己的行为负责，你可以向父母和其他人展示你的成熟）可知，本段主旨为：你需要对你的行为负责，以此来显示你的成熟。故A选项“有责任感”为短文小标题，切题。故选A项。

根据上文“Having good manners shows respect.”（有礼貌表示尊重）可知，选项与上文为并列关系，说明良好的行为的作用是什么。故D选项“合适的行为会帮助成年人看到更成熟的你”切题。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据前文“Using alcohol and drugs, lying, stealing, fighting, acting recklessly, or destroying others' property will only get you into trouble or hurt.”（酗酒、毒品、撒谎、偷盗等只会让你陷入麻烦）可知，下文应该给青少年提出建议。E项“Instead，be drug-free，and wear your seat belt when driving a car. ”（相反，远离毒品，开车时系好安全带）和上文构成转折，故选E。

【详解】1.考查一般过去时。句意：当我还是个小女孩的时候，我想成为一名电影明星。该句是含when引导的时间状语从句，描述过去的事情，所以句子用一般过去时。故把am改成was。
