B（夹叙夹议）
It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.
Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.
He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.
Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.
“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.
4．Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show .
A．he enjoyed making speeches B．he was a responsible astronaut
C．his life in space was challenging D．the daily life of an astronaut can be boring
5．What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts
A．He won some awards through teamwork.
B．He found the fun of living in the Space Station.
C．He learned to develop close relationships with others.
D．He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.
6．Which of the following can best describe Scott
A．Kind and thoughtful. B．Curious and humorous.
C．Easygoing and sociable. D．Hardworking and determined.
7．What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story
A．It’s important to have a dream B．Easy things are also worth doing
C．A suitable career leads one to success. D．Difficult things are demanding but rewarding
C（说明文）
Slowness has been a sweeping trend in sustainability. Slow food celebrates local produce and traditional cooking methods; slow fashion is made with a focus on people and the planet. You may have even heard of the slow city, a campaign to restore local cultures and turn cities back to their natural environments.
Slow design developed from the larger slow movement. Although the term was only recently introduced, the idea of thoughtful design looks back to a time when buildings and furniture were made with great craftsmanship (手艺) and by hand-before the mass-produced throwaway furniture took over. You can think of the term “slow” as a celebration of timelessness: both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the relationship between that piece and its owner.
One example of slow design today is what’s been dubbed the brown furniture revival (复兴). Brown furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents’ day but suddenly fell out of style at the turn of the century. Brown furniture is often associated with dark woods, such as trees like mahogany, walnut, and teak, that take decades to reach maturity and true craftsmanship to transform into functional pieces.
Today’s furniture industry is dominated by the $13.1 billion-and-growing global ready-to-assemble(RTA) furniture market. RTA furniture is usually constructed from low-quality fiberboard, which lasts a small part of traditional furniture’s lifespan (寿命).The weight of furniture landfilled in 2018 was 9. 7 million tons, 4. 5 times what was landfilled in 1960.
In a less direct way, the idea of timelessness also lends itself to a lower environmental impact. Besides their demonstrated physical durability, slow materials and design are meant to outlive trends and never be thrown out simply because they’re out of style.
As second-hand shopping becomes more appealing to today’s young generation-because of its low environmental impact and affordability-the brown furniture of yesteryear is making a comeback.
8．Why is the first paragraph written
A．To explain a new term.
B．To present the topic of the text.
C．To provide background information.
D．To highlight the importance of slowness.；
9．What does the underlined word “dubbed” mean in paragraph 3
A．Known as. B．Mistaken for. C．Compared to. D．Connected with.；
10．What can be inferred about RTA furniture
A．It is out of date.
B．It has a long lifespan.
C．It is heavy and expensive.
D．It has bad effects on the environment.；
11．What is good news for the brown furniture revival
A．Grandparents are buying new furniture.
B．The brown furniture will soon be mass-produced.
C．The young generation favors second-hand shopping.
D．Materials for slow design furniture are more available.
D（议论文）
Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky and misunderstood overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers say that about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, and out-of-control consumerism.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon, but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly think this approach to be the cause of narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one’s strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur It’s partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and our daily life. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because of our binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. Without confidence in their strengths, Gandhi and Mother Teresa couldn’t have achieved so much, and yet modesty and selflessness are their qualities.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to make the idea clear that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and ready to help others.
It’s easy to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I’d like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble—even when they use their strengths.；
12．Which of the following opinions may the writer agree with
A．Strength-based parenting leads to narcissism.
B．It’s unhelpful for us to make our children feel good about themselves.
C．To say all kids are potential narcissists is overstating the case.
D．Children who know their strengths tend to be more selfish and uncaring.；
13．Why are teenagers’ strengths often considered as narcissism
A．There is a lack of narcissism in our common sense.
B．Academic journals report more on narcissism.
C．Many people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
D．The general public has less access to strengths psychology.；
14．What’s the author’s attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches
A．Skeptical B．Favorable. C．Neutral. D．Doubtful.；
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood B．Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis
C．Teens’ Strength-based Approach D．Teens’ Psychology Research
