Growing up, Deka Ismail said she let labels define what she could. “I was a black girl, from a refugee(难民) family,” said Deka. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.”
After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.
Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somalia refugee couple. While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be a driven(奋发努力的), young scientist.
When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn't do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.
“ I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” said Deka. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”
Deka's effort paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to resolve new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”
When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don't tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school,” she said. “ I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”
4.From the passage, we can learn that .
A.Deka was adopted by a refugee family
B.Deka spent a lot of time going to parties
C.Deka became a professor after graduation
D.Deka's experience drove her to work hard

7.What does the story intend to tell us

B.Practice makes perfect.

D.Hard work leads to success.
C
I believe that having a voice in something you put effort into will build you into a stronger person. All the time, I had grown as the one to be taken advantage of, only because I was the one willing to help others.
When I was in high school, I grew tired of the same routine daily, and wanted to be given a challenge. At the beginning of my fresh year, I was selected to be a drum major for the school band. A drum major is the leader of the marching band during rehearsals(排练)and in performances. But I did not know how to take on the actual job for the first time. So I watched many videos on how to act better, though I couldn't do it very well.
One day, the band was rehearsing again, but no one had memorized their music. Frustrated that the music was just so-so, I lost my temper and then opened my mouth, saying how unacceptable it was because we had been ranked in first place as the best marching band. The moment I had finished my speech on how we should focus better, all jaws were dropped. Even I was surprised: it was the first time that I had opened my mouth about something I cared about. Because of that, I lost some friendships, but developed even stronger relationships with people who wanted to follow my footsteps.
In my last two years of high school, I became known as one full of confidence in any situation. I was the first one to volunteer and the happy one to lend a hand. I learned to have a voice by being chosen to lead the marching band and became stronger through losing and making new connections. And I influenced those youngsters to become a better person than they were yesterday.
8.As a freshman in high school, the author .
A.had a desire for a different life
B.got tired of helping other people
C.found it easy to be a drum major
D.felt it frustrating to lose his temper
9.What's the general response to the author's fierce words about the music
A.Shock. B.Admiration.
C.Envy. D.Confidence.
10.Which of the following can best describe the author
A.Modest and cautious.
B.Considerate and decent.
C.Outgoing and optimistic.
D.Hardworking and confident.
11.What is the best title for the text
A.Learn to help others
B.Learn to have a voice
C.Build up relationships
D.Respond to challenges
D
An obstacle(障碍)usually refers to a difficulty or problem that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you're presently facing an obstacle, you have to resolve it. Some people avoid obstacles or deny their existence. Others let obstacles control them, and they feel defeated. Your attitude towards obstacles will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about obstacles.
First, obstacles give you purposes. Sometimes obstacles can reset your goals. You might have always had a particular way of doing things, or wanted to pursue(追求)certain goals; but when you're faced with setbacks or difficulties, you're forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn't have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you'll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions. Second, obstacles prepare you for the unexpected. Obstacles serve as guides for where to go next. Even though obstacles can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it's important to realize that they don't stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Obstacles shift(转变) your perspective.
Obstacles whether you like them or not are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new obstacles. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and deal with these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you're able to see obstacles as being an advantage to your life, the better you'll be at managing them.
Accepting obstacles will be rewarding. It will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
12.What determines the outcome of obstacles you face
A.Your own attitude.
B.Your quick adaptation.
C.Your adequate preparation.
D.Your optimistic perseverance.
13.What does the underlined part probably mean
A.Acting enthusiastically.
B.Acting half-heartedly.
C.Being more motivated.
D.Being more determined.
14.How would obstacles result in benefits
A.They prevent your negative emotions.
B.They give you advantages over others.
C.They make you think quickly and critically.
D.They allow you to view things from new angles.
15.What's the main idea of the passage
A.Avoiding obstacles does harm to life.
B.Loving obstacles benefits a lot.
C.Obstacles are actually unavoidable.
D.Obstacles are double-edged swords.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Society tells us that you can't teach an old dog new trick. But it doesn't have to be that way. A new study published in Human Development points out that using a childlike approach to learning can help people of any age take on and rise to new challenges. 16
Venture(冒险) outside your comfort zone. As adults, we tend to use similar skills day in and day out: we take jobs in fields we're already good at, drive the same routes to the same places, and fall into routines we're comfortable with. 17 Switching to something more challenging may have more cognitive benefits.
18 A fear of making mistakes is another reason why adults are slow to learn new things;if we try but fail, we can face criticism, lose money, or get fired. That's why it's important to build up a support network of people at work and at home—who allow you to make mistakes and learn from them.
Make a serious commitment and don't give up. 19 If you can afford it,spending money on a new pursuit—for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian—might also make it harder to throw in the towel.
Learn more than one thing at once. We tend to zero in on one hobby or one skill. But dividing that time and energy into three or four areas will stretch your brain in all different directions. 20 Add singing lessons, and next year you try something else. You can add things gradually based on what you can handle.
A.Turn to your friends and family.
B.The following strategies will do the trick.
C.Surround yourself with encouraging people.
D.Telling friends about your new goal can help keep you motivated.
E.But all this familiarity limits the parts of the brain we're using regularly.
F.That doesn't mean you should start all the new challenges all at once, though.
G.So feeling comfortable can reduce stress and make you happier and more productive.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Most students experience a lot of stress while preparing for exams,as both their parents and teachers expect them to get high scores. Students who feel anxious are likely to experience problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying,confusion,feeling depressed while looking at difficult questions,feeling blank,sweating,sleepless,etc. Under such circumstances they end up scoring less than they could have. Therefore,it's extremely important for students to learn about how to overcome fear so that they can take their examination confidently,finally earning good grades. Here are a few tips on ways to overcome exam fear.
There are many students who take studies lightly,leaving school assignments to be done at the last minute. As a result,when exams are around the corner,they feel scared,as they don't know where to start,and what to study. So the easiest way of overcoming this problem is to start studying much before the exam. Another common mistake that many students make is that they don't make an effort to understand the subject. When they have memorized without understanding,the chances of forgetting are more. Therefore,it is vital to understand the concept before memorizing it. In this way, you will never forget any important point. Besides,that the exams are coming does not mean that you have to sit with your books for the entire day,and students should take regular breaks to relax and refresh their mind. However,they should avoid watching too much TV and addicting themselves to the Internet,in which way,they are more likely to waste time.
Apart from the tips above,here are some points that will help students cope with exam-related anxiety. For example,before the exam,avoid studying anything new or having conversations with your classmates about what they have studied and how much they have studied,both of which will make you more nervous. During the exam, if you get blank after seeing difficult questions,ignore them for the time being,and attempt those you find easier. Once you have completed them,go back to the difficult ones.

第一部分 阅读
第一节
A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍暑期适合青少年和儿童参加的有趣的历险夏令营活动。
1.C 细节理解题。根据Camp Rockmont部分第一句中的Camp Rockmont is a Christian summer camp可知该活动是一个基督教夏令营,故可知C项正确。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句中的Your children are precious可知本文的目标读者为家长,故D项正确。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句中的All the camps feature outdoor recreation and adventure和三个夏令营的活动描述中分别使用的ocean adventures、age-appropriate skills, activities, and challenges和inspiring challenges可知这些夏令营的共同特点是历险新奇。
【高频词汇】 1.adventure n.冒险;奇遇 2.challenge n.挑战 3.under the guidance of...在……的指导下
原句 Rockmont s duty of developing boys into healthy young men is accomplished through age-appropriate skills, activities, and challenges that help campers to know themselves better.
句意 Rockmont通过适合年龄的技能、活动和挑战完成把男孩培养成健康的青年男人的职责,这些技能、活动和挑战有助于使营员们更好地了解他们自己。
分析 这是一个主从复合句。that help campers to know themselves better是定语从句,修饰先行词skills, activities and challenges。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,难民家庭出身的黑人女孩Deka决心发奋努力,改变现状,最终被美国化学会种子计划项目接纳,成为一名年轻的科学家。
4.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be a driven, young scientist可知是她的经历使她奋发努力,故D项正确。
5.A 细节理解题。第四段第二句That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one s life.中的That指前一句她母亲的经历,所以是她母亲的经历使她意识到教育的重要性,故A项正确。
6.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or...I ll never get into this school,”可知Deka建议学生要敢于梦想,要有雄心,所以C项正确。
7.D 主旨大意题。文章讲述Deka为了改变家庭状况,舍弃了很多同龄人的娱乐、交往等活动,在学习和工作中奋力拼搏的经历,故可判断故事的意图是告诉我们勤奋造就成功。
【高频词汇】 1.inspire sb. to do sth.鼓励某人做某事 2.make a difference发挥作用,有影响 3.pay off取得成功;还清
原句 While some might say Deka s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be a driven, young scientist.
句意 尽管有些人可能会说Deka尽管出身不好却成功了,她的说法却不同,她说她的经历影响了她、鼓舞了她成为一名奋发努力的年轻科学家。
分析 这是一个主从复合句。该句中,While意为“尽管”,引导让步状语从句;that引导宾语从句,作第二个say的宾语。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,作者在做学校鼓乐队队长的时候,不但付出了巨大的努力,而且勇敢地发表自己的看法,不但使自己更强、更自信,而且带领其他人变得更好。
8.A 细节理解题。由第二段第一句When I was in high school, I grew tired of the same routine daily, and wanted to be given a challenge.可知作者厌倦了日复一日重复相同的事情,想要寻求挑战,所以A项正确。
9.A 推理判断题。由第三段第三句中的all jaws were dropped(大家都目瞪口呆了)和第四句中的Even I was surprised可知当时人们的普遍反应是惊讶,所以A项正确。
10.D 推理判断题。由第二段最后一句So I watched many videos on how to act better, though I couldn t do it very well.可知作者非常努力,由最后一段第一句中的I became known as one full of confidence in any situation可知作者充满自信,故D项正确。
11.B 主旨大意题。文章第一段首句I believe that having a voice in something you put effort into will build you into a stronger person.点题,指出对于自己付出努力的事情敢于发表意见会使人更加强大,最后一段重申敢于发声使自己和自己所带领的人更加强大,故B项正确。
【高频词汇】 1.take on承担;呈现 2.frustrated adj.懊恼的 3.influence v.影响
原句 Frustrated that the music was just so-so, I lost my temper and then opened my mouth, saying how unacceptable it was because we had been ranked in first place as the best marching band.
句意 因为音乐一般,我很懊恼,发了脾气,开口说这种情况是多么不可接受,因为我们是最好的排名第一的行进乐队。
分析 这是一个主从复合句。Frustrated that the music was just so-so由形容词和其逻辑上的宾语从句构成形容词短语,作状语;saying how unacceptable it was because we had been ranked in first place as the best marching band由现在分词和其逻辑上的由how引导的宾语从句构成现在分词短语,作状语。how unacceptable it was是感叹句式,how unacceptable作表语,提到主语it前面。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文,阐述的主要观点为:以积极的态度对待人生中的障碍,因为它们有益于人的成长和提升。
12.A 细节理解题。 由第一段第五句中的Your attitude towards obstacles will define the outcome可知决定人生障碍的最终结果的是人的态度,故A项正确。
13.B 词义猜测题。由画线部分前面rather than just 可知画线部分的意思与句中的you ll be fulfilling a purpose 意思相反。由画线部分前面的句子Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn t have if not for the particular setback.可知fulfilling a purpose在这里指全力以赴实现目标,故可推测going through the motions指并未集中全部力量去做事,而只是走过场,故B项正确。
14.D 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Obstacles shift(转变) your perspective.可知障碍会使人寻找更新、更好的途径,转变人看待问题的视角,故D项正确。
15.B 主旨大意题。本文第一段点题,指出障碍值得人们去爱,第二段从两个方面阐述了障碍可能带给人的好处,第三、四段结题,指出把障碍看作有利因素、阐明克服障碍会使人得到提升,故全文的主旨在于阐述接受障碍对人有益的观点,所以B项正确。
【高频词汇】 1.avoid v.避免 2.deny v.否认 3.attitude n.态度
4.goal n.目标;球门 5.force sb. to do sth.强迫某人做某事
6.concentrate on 把精力集中在……上 7.allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事
原句 Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way.
句意 相反,在某种程度上,它们给你时间停下来思考是否有新的、更好的途径可走,思考你可以为过程中会发生的事情做什么样的准备。
分析 本句是个主从复合句。主干部分they give you time 是主谓宾结构,to stop and think...what will happen along the way是不定式结构,作time的后置定语,其中的if perhaps there is a new and better path to take 和what you can prepare for what will happen along the way是并列的宾语从句,均作think的宾语。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍走出舒适区,尝试新技能的四点建议。
16.B 本题空设在第一段段尾,承上启下。后文讲述的是应对挑战的建议,所以选择B项The following strategies will do the trick.(下面的策略会奏效。)。
17.E 本段第二句中的As adults, we tend to use similar skills day in and day out指出成年人常常日复一日地使用相似的技能,E项指出但是所有这样的熟悉感限制了我们经常使用的大脑的一部分,故E项正确。
18.C 本题空设在段首,应该选择和其他建议段的段首句句式相同的句子。结合本段最后一句That s why it s important to build up a support network of people at work and at home—who allow you to make mistakes and learn from them.可知本段建议与允许你犯错、吸取教训的人交往,以便建立支持的人际关系网,所以C项正确。
19.D 本空前建议做出重要的承诺并且不要放弃。D项(把你的新目标告诉你的朋友有助于你保持动力。)符合语境,故D项正确。
20.F F项意为“不过,那并不意味着你应该同时开始所有这些新的挑战。”, 本题空后句建议增加歌唱课程,明年再尝试别的,这样依据自己的能力逐渐增加,前后吻合,所以F项正确。
【高频词汇】 1.approach to (doing) sth. (做)某事的途径/方法
2.rise to new challenges迎接新的挑战 3.comfort zone舒适区
原句 If you can afford it,spending money on a new pursuit—for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian—might also make it harder to throw in the towel.
句意 如果你负担得起,在新的追求上花些钱——例如,制订去罗马的一场旅行来练习意大利语——可能也会使你更不容易认输。
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。If you can afford it 是条件状语从句,主句中包含插入语for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian。throw in the towel意为“认输,承认失败”。
第二部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。作者通过失去工作室、重建工作室的亲身经历告诉我们:人生中的逆境不一定是坏事,有时会使你得到提升。
21.D 考查动词。promoted在此处意为“提升”,依据本文最后一句中的would 35 be working in the old studio, a studio that was less efficient可知改造后的工作室比以前的更好,故可知逆境反而使作者的生活得到了提升。
22.B 考查动词。由倒数第二段可知作者曾经有一闪念要放弃重建工作室,所以可知作者讲述的是一场差点让逆境战胜了自己的经历,所以B项正确。
23.C 考查形容词。由后文的积雪和冰压坏玻璃工作室可知当年的冬天非常糟糕,故C项正确。
24.B 考查名词。后文讲述屋顶的积雪达5英尺厚,故可知积雪和冰的重量压坏了工作室的屋顶。
25.A 考查动词。destroy意为“毁坏”,由后文可知工作室已完全被毁,无法再用,所以A项正确。
26.C 考查连词。由空后but when you have 5 feet of ice and temperatures of minus 20 Celsius, it was pretty 28 to do可知作者曾在屋顶倒塌之前试图除掉冰雪,所以选择C项。
27.A 考查动词。remove在此处意为“移除”,由前文语境和空前的we got on the roof可知作者上房顶是为了除掉冰雪。
28.B 考查形容词。tough在此处意为“艰难的”,空前的 but when you have 5 feet of ice and temperatures of minus 20 Celsius表示冰已达5英尺厚,气温零下20摄氏度,故可知除掉冰雪非常艰难。
29.B 考查连词。空前讲述我们搬出了很多货品和工具,空后表示我们损失的也很多,前后内容存在转折关系,故选B。
30.A 考查动词。句意:我们可以简单地说我们不能再做我们的玻璃生意了。conduct在此处意为“实施”。
31.C 考查动词。cross在此处意为“闪过”,指放弃的念头的确曾闪过他们的脑海,但由后文他们重新修建更好的工作室可知,他们没有容许这种退缩的念头占上风,所以C项正确。
32.A 考查动词。redesign意为“重新设计”,由空后的and today we have a 33 studio than we previously(之前) had可知他们重新设计了工作室。
33.B 考查形容词。由最后一句中的the old studio, a studio that was less efficient可知新工作室更好,故B项正确。
34.D 考查固定短语。be faced with “面临,面对”,此处指作者面临冰雪压垮屋顶的逆境。be aware of “意识到”,be concerned about “关心;担心”, be cautious about“对……很谨慎”。
35.C 考查副词。still在此处意为“仍然,还”。 句意:如果我们面临的逆境不曾发生,也许我们还工作在那个旧的工作室中——一个效率较低的工作室。
【高频词汇】 1.promote v.提升;促进 2.studio n.工作室;演播室 3.tough adj.艰难的;棘手的
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述美国探险家Colin O Brady独自横跨南极的经历。
36.Although/Though 考查连词。句意:尽管它有着神奇的景观,很多人仍然对这个冰冷的荒漠感到很害怕。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导让步状语从句,故填Although或Though。
37.months 考查名词复数。由空前的Three可知应该用名词的复数形式。
38.to cross 考查非谓语动词。句意:三个月前,他成为第一个独自跨越南极的人。此处名词person被序数词the first修饰,后用不定式作定语。
39.himself 考查代词。句意:他必须把自己逼到极限。主语是He,所以要用反身代词作宾语。
40.thinner 考查形容词比较级。由空后的and weaker可知应该用比较级,指与六周之前相比他的身体更瘦、更弱了。
41.have lost 考查谓语动词的时态和语态。 由句中的so far(到目前为止)可知应该用现在完成时,设空处动作与句子主语I是主动关系,所以用have lost。
42.taking 考查非谓语动词。句意:这两个人一起出发,起初Brady领先。此处包含with的复合结构,take与Brady是主动关系,动作已发生,所以用现在分词(而不用不定式)形式。
43.Luckily 考查词性转换。 此处应填副词,构成副词短语Luckily for him,作状语。
44.of 考查介词。此处of表示“关于……”,the spirit of exploration 意为“探索精神”。
45.an 考查冠词。此处泛指他是一名运动员。表示职业身份的名词作表语,其前要用不定冠词,athlete以元音音素开头,故用an。

Growing up, Deka Ismail said she let labels define what she could. “I was a black girl, from a refugee(难民) family,” said Deka. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box.”
After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.
Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somalia refugee couple. While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be a driven(奋发努力的), young scientist.
When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one's life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn't do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.
“ I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” said Deka. “You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”
Deka's effort paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to resolve new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”
When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don't tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school,” she said. “ I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”

I believe that having a voice in something you put effort into will build you into a stronger person. All the time, I had grown as the one to be taken advantage of, only because I was the one willing to help others.
When I was in high school, I grew tired of the same routine daily, and wanted to be given a challenge. At the beginning of my fresh year, I was selected to be a drum major for the school band. A drum major is the leader of the marching band during rehearsals(排练)and in performances. But I did not know how to take on the actual job for the first time. So I watched many videos on how to act better, though I couldn't do it very well.
One day, the band was rehearsing again, but no one had memorized their music. Frustrated that the music was just so-so, I lost my temper and then opened my mouth, saying how unacceptable it was because we had been ranked in first place as the best marching band. The moment I had finished my speech on how we should focus better, all jaws were dropped. Even I was surprised: it was the first time that I had opened my mouth about something I cared about. Because of that, I lost some friendships, but developed even stronger relationships with people who wanted to follow my footsteps.
In my last two years of high school, I became known as one full of confidence in any situation. I was the first one to volunteer and the happy one to lend a hand. I learned to have a voice by being chosen to lead the marching band and became stronger through losing and making new connections. And I influenced those youngsters to become a better person than they were yesterday.
8.As a freshman in high school, the author .
A.had a desire for a different life
B.got tired of helping other people
C.found it easy to be a drum major
D.felt it frustrating to lose his temper

C.Envy. D.Confidence.
10.Which of the following can best describe the author
A.Modest and cautious.
B.Considerate and decent.
C.Outgoing and optimistic.
D.Hardworking and confident.
11.What is the best title for the text
A.Learn to help others
B.Learn to have a voice
C.Build up relationships
D.Respond to challenges
D
An obstacle(障碍)usually refers to a difficulty or problem that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you're presently facing an obstacle, you have to resolve it. Some people avoid obstacles or deny their existence. Others let obstacles control them, and they feel defeated. Your attitude towards obstacles will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about obstacles.
First, obstacles give you purposes. Sometimes obstacles can reset your goals. You might have always had a particular way of doing things, or wanted to pursue(追求)certain goals; but when you're faced with setbacks or difficulties, you're forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn't have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you'll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions. Second, obstacles prepare you for the unexpected. Obstacles serve as guides for where to go next. Even though obstacles can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it's important to realize that they don't stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Obstacles shift(转变) your perspective.
Obstacles whether you like them or not are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new obstacles. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and deal with these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you're able to see obstacles as being an advantage to your life, the better you'll be at managing them.
Accepting obstacles will be rewarding. It will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
12.What determines the outcome of obstacles you face
A.Your own attitude.
B.Your quick adaptation.
C.Your adequate preparation.
D.Your optimistic perseverance.
13.What does the underlined part probably mean
A.Acting enthusiastically.
B.Acting half-heartedly.
C.Being more motivated.
D.Being more determined.
14.How would obstacles result in benefits
A.They prevent your negative emotions.
B.They give you advantages over others.
C.They make you think quickly and critically.
D.They allow you to view things from new angles.
15.What's the main idea of the passage
A.Avoiding obstacles does harm to life.
B.Loving obstacles benefits a lot.
C.Obstacles are actually unavoidable.
D.Obstacles are double-edged swords.

Society tells us that you can't teach an old dog new trick. But it doesn't have to be that way. A new study published in Human Development points out that using a childlike approach to learning can help people of any age take on and rise to new challenges. 16
Venture(冒险) outside your comfort zone. As adults, we tend to use similar skills day in and day out: we take jobs in fields we're already good at, drive the same routes to the same places, and fall into routines we're comfortable with. 17 Switching to something more challenging may have more cognitive benefits.
18 A fear of making mistakes is another reason why adults are slow to learn new things;if we try but fail, we can face criticism, lose money, or get fired. That's why it's important to build up a support network of people at work and at home—who allow you to make mistakes and learn from them.
Make a serious commitment and don't give up. 19 If you can afford it,spending money on a new pursuit—for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian—might also make it harder to throw in the towel.
Learn more than one thing at once. We tend to zero in on one hobby or one skill. But dividing that time and energy into three or four areas will stretch your brain in all different directions. 20 Add singing lessons, and next year you try something else. You can add things gradually based on what you can handle.
A.Turn to your friends and family.
B.The following strategies will do the trick.
C.Surround yourself with encouraging people.
D.Telling friends about your new goal can help keep you motivated.
E.But all this familiarity limits the parts of the brain we're using regularly.
F.That doesn't mean you should start all the new challenges all at once, though.
G.So feeling comfortable can reduce stress and make you happier and more productive.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Most students experience a lot of stress while preparing for exams,as both their parents and teachers expect them to get high scores. Students who feel anxious are likely to experience problems like difficulty in concentrating while studying,confusion,feeling depressed while looking at difficult questions,feeling blank,sweating,sleepless,etc. Under such circumstances they end up scoring less than they could have. Therefore,it's extremely important for students to learn about how to overcome fear so that they can take their examination confidently,finally earning good grades. Here are a few tips on ways to overcome exam fear.
There are many students who take studies lightly,leaving school assignments to be done at the last minute. As a result,when exams are around the corner,they feel scared,as they don't know where to start,and what to study. So the easiest way of overcoming this problem is to start studying much before the exam. Another common mistake that many students make is that they don't make an effort to understand the subject. When they have memorized without understanding,the chances of forgetting are more. Therefore,it is vital to understand the concept before memorizing it. In this way, you will never forget any important point. Besides,that the exams are coming does not mean that you have to sit with your books for the entire day,and students should take regular breaks to relax and refresh their mind. However,they should avoid watching too much TV and addicting themselves to the Internet,in which way,they are more likely to waste time.
Apart from the tips above,here are some points that will help students cope with exam-related anxiety. For example,before the exam,avoid studying anything new or having conversations with your classmates about what they have studied and how much they have studied,both of which will make you more nervous. During the exam, if you get blank after seeing difficult questions,ignore them for the time being,and attempt those you find easier. Once you have completed them,go back to the difficult ones.

第一节
A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍暑期适合青少年和儿童参加的有趣的历险夏令营活动。

2.D 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句中的Your children are precious可知本文的目标读者为家长,故D项正确。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句中的All the camps feature outdoor recreation and adventure和三个夏令营的活动描述中分别使用的ocean adventures、age-appropriate skills, activities, and challenges和inspiring challenges可知这些夏令营的共同特点是历险新奇。
【高频词汇】 1.adventure n.冒险;奇遇 2.challenge n.挑战 3.under the guidance of...在……的指导下
原句 Rockmont s duty of developing boys into healthy young men is accomplished through age-appropriate skills, activities, and challenges that help campers to know themselves better.
句意 Rockmont通过适合年龄的技能、活动和挑战完成把男孩培养成健康的青年男人的职责,这些技能、活动和挑战有助于使营员们更好地了解他们自己。
分析 这是一个主从复合句。that help campers to know themselves better是定语从句,修饰先行词skills, activities and challenges。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,难民家庭出身的黑人女孩Deka决心发奋努力,改变现状,最终被美国化学会种子计划项目接纳,成为一名年轻的科学家。
4.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be a driven, young scientist可知是她的经历使她奋发努力,故D项正确。
5.A 细节理解题。第四段第二句That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one s life.中的That指前一句她母亲的经历,所以是她母亲的经历使她意识到教育的重要性,故A项正确。
6.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or...I ll never get into this school,”可知Deka建议学生要敢于梦想,要有雄心,所以C项正确。
7.D 主旨大意题。文章讲述Deka为了改变家庭状况,舍弃了很多同龄人的娱乐、交往等活动,在学习和工作中奋力拼搏的经历,故可判断故事的意图是告诉我们勤奋造就成功。
【高频词汇】 1.inspire sb. to do sth.鼓励某人做某事 2.make a difference发挥作用,有影响 3.pay off取得成功;还清
原句 While some might say Deka s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be a driven, young scientist.
句意 尽管有些人可能会说Deka尽管出身不好却成功了,她的说法却不同,她说她的经历影响了她、鼓舞了她成为一名奋发努力的年轻科学家。
分析 这是一个主从复合句。该句中,While意为“尽管”,引导让步状语从句;that引导宾语从句,作第二个say的宾语。
C
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,作者在做学校鼓乐队队长的时候,不但付出了巨大的努力,而且勇敢地发表自己的看法,不但使自己更强、更自信,而且带领其他人变得更好。
8.A 细节理解题。由第二段第一句When I was in high school, I grew tired of the same routine daily, and wanted to be given a challenge.可知作者厌倦了日复一日重复相同的事情,想要寻求挑战,所以A项正确。
9.A 推理判断题。由第三段第三句中的all jaws were dropped(大家都目瞪口呆了)和第四句中的Even I was surprised可知当时人们的普遍反应是惊讶,所以A项正确。
10.D 推理判断题。由第二段最后一句So I watched many videos on how to act better, though I couldn t do it very well.可知作者非常努力,由最后一段第一句中的I became known as one full of confidence in any situation可知作者充满自信,故D项正确。
11.B 主旨大意题。文章第一段首句I believe that having a voice in something you put effort into will build you into a stronger person.点题,指出对于自己付出努力的事情敢于发表意见会使人更加强大,最后一段重申敢于发声使自己和自己所带领的人更加强大,故B项正确。
【高频词汇】 1.take on承担;呈现 2.frustrated adj.懊恼的 3.influence v.影响
原句 Frustrated that the music was just so-so, I lost my temper and then opened my mouth, saying how unacceptable it was because we had been ranked in first place as the best marching band.
句意 因为音乐一般,我很懊恼,发了脾气,开口说这种情况是多么不可接受,因为我们是最好的排名第一的行进乐队。
分析 这是一个主从复合句。Frustrated that the music was just so-so由形容词和其逻辑上的宾语从句构成形容词短语,作状语;saying how unacceptable it was because we had been ranked in first place as the best marching band由现在分词和其逻辑上的由how引导的宾语从句构成现在分词短语,作状语。how unacceptable it was是感叹句式,how unacceptable作表语,提到主语it前面。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文,阐述的主要观点为:以积极的态度对待人生中的障碍,因为它们有益于人的成长和提升。
12.A 细节理解题。 由第一段第五句中的Your attitude towards obstacles will define the outcome可知决定人生障碍的最终结果的是人的态度,故A项正确。
13.B 词义猜测题。由画线部分前面rather than just 可知画线部分的意思与句中的you ll be fulfilling a purpose 意思相反。由画线部分前面的句子Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn t have if not for the particular setback.可知fulfilling a purpose在这里指全力以赴实现目标,故可推测going through the motions指并未集中全部力量去做事,而只是走过场,故B项正确。
14.D 细节理解题。由第二段最后两句Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Obstacles shift(转变) your perspective.可知障碍会使人寻找更新、更好的途径,转变人看待问题的视角,故D项正确。
15.B 主旨大意题。本文第一段点题,指出障碍值得人们去爱,第二段从两个方面阐述了障碍可能带给人的好处,第三、四段结题,指出把障碍看作有利因素、阐明克服障碍会使人得到提升,故全文的主旨在于阐述接受障碍对人有益的观点,所以B项正确。
【高频词汇】 1.avoid v.避免 2.deny v.否认 3.attitude n.态度
4.goal n.目标;球门 5.force sb. to do sth.强迫某人做某事
6.concentrate on 把精力集中在……上 7.allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事
原句 Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way.
句意 相反,在某种程度上,它们给你时间停下来思考是否有新的、更好的途径可走,思考你可以为过程中会发生的事情做什么样的准备。
分析 本句是个主从复合句。主干部分they give you time 是主谓宾结构,to stop and think...what will happen along the way是不定式结构,作time的后置定语,其中的if perhaps there is a new and better path to take 和what you can prepare for what will happen along the way是并列的宾语从句,均作think的宾语。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,介绍走出舒适区,尝试新技能的四点建议。
16.B 本题空设在第一段段尾,承上启下。后文讲述的是应对挑战的建议,所以选择B项The following strategies will do the trick.(下面的策略会奏效。)。
17.E 本段第二句中的As adults, we tend to use similar skills day in and day out指出成年人常常日复一日地使用相似的技能,E项指出但是所有这样的熟悉感限制了我们经常使用的大脑的一部分,故E项正确。
18.C 本题空设在段首,应该选择和其他建议段的段首句句式相同的句子。结合本段最后一句That s why it s important to build up a support network of people at work and at home—who allow you to make mistakes and learn from them.可知本段建议与允许你犯错、吸取教训的人交往,以便建立支持的人际关系网,所以C项正确。
19.D 本空前建议做出重要的承诺并且不要放弃。D项(把你的新目标告诉你的朋友有助于你保持动力。)符合语境,故D项正确。
20.F F项意为“不过,那并不意味着你应该同时开始所有这些新的挑战。”, 本题空后句建议增加歌唱课程,明年再尝试别的,这样依据自己的能力逐渐增加,前后吻合,所以F项正确。
【高频词汇】 1.approach to (doing) sth. (做)某事的途径/方法
2.rise to new challenges迎接新的挑战 3.comfort zone舒适区
原句 If you can afford it,spending money on a new pursuit—for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian—might also make it harder to throw in the towel.
句意 如果你负担得起,在新的追求上花些钱——例如,制订去罗马的一场旅行来练习意大利语——可能也会使你更不容易认输。
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。If you can afford it 是条件状语从句,主句中包含插入语for example, booking a trip to Rome to practice your Italian。throw in the towel意为“认输,承认失败”。
第二部分 语言运用
第一节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。作者通过失去工作室、重建工作室的亲身经历告诉我们:人生中的逆境不一定是坏事,有时会使你得到提升。
21.D 考查动词。promoted在此处意为“提升”,依据本文最后一句中的would 35 be working in the old studio, a studio that was less efficient可知改造后的工作室比以前的更好,故可知逆境反而使作者的生活得到了提升。
22.B 考查动词。由倒数第二段可知作者曾经有一闪念要放弃重建工作室,所以可知作者讲述的是一场差点让逆境战胜了自己的经历,所以B项正确。
23.C 考查形容词。由后文的积雪和冰压坏玻璃工作室可知当年的冬天非常糟糕,故C项正确。
24.B 考查名词。后文讲述屋顶的积雪达5英尺厚,故可知积雪和冰的重量压坏了工作室的屋顶。
25.A 考查动词。destroy意为“毁坏”,由后文可知工作室已完全被毁,无法再用,所以A项正确。
26.C 考查连词。由空后but when you have 5 feet of ice and temperatures of minus 20 Celsius, it was pretty 28 to do可知作者曾在屋顶倒塌之前试图除掉冰雪,所以选择C项。
27.A 考查动词。remove在此处意为“移除”,由前文语境和空前的we got on the roof可知作者上房顶是为了除掉冰雪。
28.B 考查形容词。tough在此处意为“艰难的”,空前的 but when you have 5 feet of ice and temperatures of minus 20 Celsius表示冰已达5英尺厚,气温零下20摄氏度,故可知除掉冰雪非常艰难。
29.B 考查连词。空前讲述我们搬出了很多货品和工具,空后表示我们损失的也很多,前后内容存在转折关系,故选B。
30.A 考查动词。句意:我们可以简单地说我们不能再做我们的玻璃生意了。conduct在此处意为“实施”。
31.C 考查动词。cross在此处意为“闪过”,指放弃的念头的确曾闪过他们的脑海,但由后文他们重新修建更好的工作室可知,他们没有容许这种退缩的念头占上风,所以C项正确。
32.A 考查动词。redesign意为“重新设计”,由空后的and today we have a 33 studio than we previously(之前) had可知他们重新设计了工作室。
33.B 考查形容词。由最后一句中的the old studio, a studio that was less efficient可知新工作室更好,故B项正确。
34.D 考查固定短语。be faced with “面临,面对”,此处指作者面临冰雪压垮屋顶的逆境。be aware of “意识到”,be concerned about “关心;担心”, be cautious about“对……很谨慎”。
35.C 考查副词。still在此处意为“仍然,还”。 句意:如果我们面临的逆境不曾发生,也许我们还工作在那个旧的工作室中——一个效率较低的工作室。

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述美国探险家Colin O Brady独自横跨南极的经历。
36.Although/Though 考查连词。句意:尽管它有着神奇的景观,很多人仍然对这个冰冷的荒漠感到很害怕。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导让步状语从句,故填Although或Though。
37.months 考查名词复数。由空前的Three可知应该用名词的复数形式。
38.to cross 考查非谓语动词。句意:三个月前,他成为第一个独自跨越南极的人。此处名词person被序数词the first修饰,后用不定式作定语。
39.himself 考查代词。句意:他必须把自己逼到极限。主语是He,所以要用反身代词作宾语。
40.thinner 考查形容词比较级。由空后的and weaker可知应该用比较级,指与六周之前相比他的身体更瘦、更弱了。
41.have lost 考查谓语动词的时态和语态。 由句中的so far(到目前为止)可知应该用现在完成时,设空处动作与句子主语I是主动关系,所以用have lost。
42.taking 考查非谓语动词。句意:这两个人一起出发,起初Brady领先。此处包含with的复合结构,take与Brady是主动关系,动作已发生,所以用现在分词(而不用不定式)形式。
43.Luckily 考查词性转换。 此处应填副词,构成副词短语Luckily for him,作状语。
44.of 考查介词。此处of表示“关于……”,the spirit of exploration 意为“探索精神”。
45.an 考查冠词。此处泛指他是一名运动员。表示职业身份的名词作表语,其前要用不定冠词,athlete以元音音素开头,故用an。
