Building with 3D printing technology is sparking widespread interest in the construction industry. Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment, it can speed up construction from weeks, or months, to days. To see how the technology can change the world around us, here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building.
Instant Neighborhood
Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco, Mexico, aimed at tackling global homelessness. American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours. New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world.
Nested Housing
Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP. This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy. Its round designs are based on the wasp (黄蜂) nest. Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture, artistic objects and more.
Think Schools
African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world’s most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education. Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week.
Concrete Steps
Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days. The project used 500 layers of concrete and 53 hollow blocks, held in place by compression (压缩). This reduces materials by up to 70 per cent, and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled.
1．What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing
A．A featured laboratory. B．A forward-thinking school.
C．A round wasp nest. D．A long stone bridge.
2．Which 3D construction project can be torn down and reused
A．Instant Neighborhood. B．Concrete Steps.
C．Think School. D．Nested Housing.
3．What do these four 3D building projects have in common
A．They use local materials. B．They make construction faster.
C．They are affordable to the homeless. D．They are high in cost.
B
There are people for whom the motivation lies in their family or companions’ duties. For some people, the purpose lies in a soul’s spiritual awakening. Brent Clayton, a firefighter by profession, is one such individual who found his purpose early in life and kept working to fulfill it.
Born on March 3, 1984, Clayton hugely felt the need to serve others. He followed his mission in life and acquired his diploma in Public Safety. He gradually realized the importance of securing people’s lives, which strengthened his faith in his mission. Clayton further pursued his bachelor’s degree from The University of Melbourne and master’s degree from Federation University Australia. Then, Clayton worked in the military for a period before moving into a role with the prison service as a prison guard, the youngest person to ever be employed by the service at the time.
After spending a decade in the fire service including training and recruitment (招募), he gained enough experience to become Australia’s most prominent fire service recruitment expert. Clayton devoted many years of his life to the firefighter recruitment process and fire service industry. He wanted people to realize the true value of this profession by establishing its significance. To communicate his perspective, Clayton established Fire Recruitment Australia in 2009. He aimed to train the next generation and prepare them for the future. Clayton used his experience and years-long training to prepare candidates who were as enthusiastic about the well-being of the world as him.
Keeping the point in mind, Clayton wrote the book Fire Service Recruitment—the Process to Success. His idea was to join his learning into an accessible medium so others didn’t have to waste years wondering what to do when applying to become a firefighter. After the success of the book, Clayton introduced candidates to a comprehensive test preparation and learning suite to facilitate (促进) success throughout each stage of the selection process. This platform helped him as well as his candidates to work together for the betterment of themselves and ultimately society at large.
4．What made Clayton’s belief stronger
A．The military experience. B．The support of his family.
C．The significance of people’s safety. D．The knowledge he learned from college.
5．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 3
A．Stubborn. B．Fearless. C．Outstanding. D．Energetic.
6．Why did Clayton set up Fire Recruitment Australia
A．Because he could earn a good reputation.
B．Because he wanted to join his learning into an accessible medium.
C．Because he wanted to realize his dream of being a firefighter leader.
D．Because he hoped to get young people ready for their future career.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．A Man with Great Purpose B．A Book for Career Success
C．An Organization for Well-being D．A Standard for Firefighters

Mosquitoes see red when they look at your skin, and that brings them in for a bite, according to new research showing that these insects find certain colors more attractive.
The findings mean that what you wear can reduce your chances of being bitten, but there’s little you can do in terms of your skin. That’s because everyone’s skin gives off a strong red-orange signal that’s highly attractive to mosquitoes.
“I used to say there are three major signals that attract mosquitoes: your breath, your sweat and the temperature of your skin,” said senior study author Jeffrey Riffell, a professor of biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. “In this study, we found a fourth signal: the color red, which can be found not only on your clothes, but also in everyone’s skin. The shade of your skin doesn’t matter, we’ re all giving off a strong red signal.”
Researchers found that when a common species of mosquito called Aedes aegypti detects carbon dioxide (CO2) from our breath, it then looks for specific colors-including red, orange and black — to find its meal of blood. But it ignores colors such as green, purple, blue and white.
“Mosquitoes appear to use smell to help them distinguish what is nearby, like a host to bite,” Riffell said. “When they detect specific compounds, like CO2 from our breath, that smell stimulates the eyes to scan for specific colors and other visual patterns, which are associated with a potential host, and then they head to them.”
That process is similar to when a person smells something good. “Imagine you’ re on a sidewalk and you smell pies,” Riffell said. “That’s probably a sign that there’s a bakery nearby, and you might start looking around for it. Here, we started to learn what visual elements mosquitoes are looking for after smelling their own version of a bakery.”
Knowing which colors do or don’t tempt mosquitoes may lead to better repellents (驱虫剂), traps and other methods to prevent mosquitoes.
8．What does Jeffrey Riffell’s study find
A．Mosquitoes tend to have a preference for bright colors.
B．Mosquito biting depends significantly on your skin color.
C．Mosquito biting has something to do with your clothes.
D．Mosquitoes will avoid biting you when you sweat heavily.
9．Which sense do mosquitoes make use of first in finding a potential target
A．Hearing. B．Sight. C．Smell. D．Touch.
10．The underlined word “tempt” in the last paragraph most probably means “___________”.
A．calm down B．appeal to C．frighten away D．get rid of
11．In which section of a newspaper can the text most probably appear
A．Science, B．Entertainment. C．Fashion. D．Education.
D
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(重叠)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 have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego(夸大的自我)of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism and materialism...perhaps even a new type of president.
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 label this approach as a recipe for 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 arrogant, 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 or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to 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. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It’s tempting 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．Why teenagers’ strengths are often mistaken for narcissism
A．Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism.
B．Contradiction is human nature of many people.
C．There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
D．Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
13．The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 to show that_______.
A．they are both victims of binary thinking
B．one can be both modest and sure of himself
C．confidence is quite important for celebrities
D．public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism
14．What’s the author’s attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches
A．Skeptical. B．Favorable. C．Neutral. D．Cautious.
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Teens’ Strength Psychology B．Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis
C．Teens’ Anxiety and Depression D．Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood

Edgar Snow was an American journalist 36 wrote influential books and articles about China in the 1930s. At a time when 37 (relative) little was known about our country in the Western world, his 1937 book Red Star over China broke ideological boundaries by 38 (tell) the story of the Chinese communist movement from the inside.
Although Snow was not the only international journalist 39 (set) foot in China during the early decades of the 20th century, what set him apart 40 the others was that he actually spent time with the Chinese Red Army.

My Own Beat
My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.
“What are you doing here You’re a single mom of five. You’re fifty years old!” My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. Even so, it was as if I had no control over my feet. As if they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me.
Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream.
Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting (动来动去) with the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me.
“Stephanie I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said.
People make me nervous. That’s the way I’ve always been. But Mike had a very calm manner about him, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he complimented me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him.
“You are fine. I see so much potential in you,” he told me.
Soon my thirty-minute lesson is over. Walking back to my car, I felt full of excitement and energy. I thought of how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and watched proudly as they bravely went in front of judges and audiences.
Now it felt scary and amazing at the same time to follow my dream and do something that was purely for my enjoyment, something just for me. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
第一段：I started the car and couldn’t wait to go back home to tell my kids about my class.

第二段：Seeing my devotion and progress, Mike convinced me to play in a concert.

8．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The findings mean that what you wear can reduce your chances of being bitten, but there’s little you can do in terms of your skin.(研究结果表明，你的穿着可以降低被咬的几率，但对你的皮肤来说，你几乎无能为力。)”可知，这项研究意味着你穿什么能减少被咬的机会，由此可知，Jeffrey Riffell的研究发现蚊子叮咬与你的衣服有关系。故选C项。
9．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“When they detect specific compounds, like CO2 from our breath, that smell stimulates the eyes to scan for specific colors and other visual patterns, which are associated with a potential host, and then they head to them.(当它们检测到特定的化合物，比如我们呼吸中的二氧化碳，这种气味会刺激眼睛扫描与潜在宿主相关的特定颜色和其他视觉模式，然后它们就会朝宿主走去。)”可知，当蚊子探测到特定的化合物，这种气味会刺激眼睛扫描与潜在宿主相关的颜色和其他视觉模式，然后飞向宿主，由此可知，蚊子首先利用嗅觉寻找潜在的目标。故选C项。
10．词义猜测题。根据首段中的“Mosquitoes see red when they look at your skin, and that brings them in for a bite, according to new research showing that these insects find certain colors more attractive.(根据一项新的研究，蚊子看到你的皮肤时看到的是红色，这就会吸引它们来咬你，这些昆虫发现某些颜色更有吸引力。)”可知，研究发现，红色对蚊有吸引力，有些昆虫对特定的一些颜色具有吸引力，结合划线单词后的“Knowing which colors do or don’t … may lead to better repellents(驱虫剂), traps and other methods to prevent mosquitoes.(了解哪些颜色会或者不会……，可能会带来更好的驱蚊剂、陷阱和其他预防蚊子的方法。)”可知，要制造出更好的驱虫剂，陷阱和其他预防蚊子的方法，应该知道蚊子喜欢或者不喜欢什么，综合以上信息可知，将选项代入可知，划线单词应为“吸引”的意思。故选B项。
11．推理判断题。根据首段“Mosquitoes see red when they look at your skin, and that brings them in for a bite, according to new research showing that these insects find certain colors more attractive. (根据一项新的研究，蚊子看到你的皮肤时看到的是红色，这就会吸引它们来咬你，这些昆虫发现某些颜色更有吸引力。)”并结合下文中对该项研究的分析可知，本文讲述的是一项新的研究发现，红色对蚊子具有一定的吸引力，与科学研究相关，由此可知，该文应出自于报纸的科学栏目。故选A项。
12．A 13．B 14．B 15．D
【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讲述因为人们对个人能力和自恋之间的认识不足，导致对青少年的自信产生误解。
12．细节理解题。根据第五段“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 or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.”(为什么会这样？部分原因是人们更了解自恋，而不是能力。尽管心理学的优势在很大程度上保持在学术期刊的极限范围内，或者仅仅应用于某些特定的环境，比如工作场所，但自恋的研究已经进入了大众媒体，进入了我们的集体意识。《纽约时报》指出，自恋是一个受欢迎的“首选”话题，世界各地的人们都在用它来诊断其他人。)可知，青少年的能力经常被误认为是自恋，是因为对学术期刊和大众媒体对自恋的了解更多。故选A。
13．推理判断题。根据第六段“We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble.”(我们错误地认为一个人不可能既自信又谦虚。)可知，这一段，作者认为人们的看法——一个人不可能既自信又谦虚——是错误的，所以用甘地和特蕾莎为例，来证明他的观点，即一个人既自信又谦虚是可能的。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”(但是我想站出来，为成千上万的孩子们发声，即使他们发挥了自己的长处，但是他们关心人、体贴、谦逊。)可知，作者对幼儿自信建立法是支持的态度。故选B。
15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“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(重叠)between strength-based science and the research on narcissism”(心理科学充满了有趣的话题，其中许多都描绘了人性的连贯画面，但有些却创造了看似矛盾的东西。一个恰当的例子就是，基于能力的科学和关于自恋的研究之间存在微妙和被误解的重叠。)可知，这篇文章主要讲述人们对青少年的自信产生了误解。故选D。
16．D 17．B 18．A 19．F 20．G

19．根据上文“Nothing ruins a trip faster than the unexpected crisis. Don’t forget to buy the travel insurance(没有什么比意外的危机更能破坏旅行了。别忘了买旅行保险)”可知，此处上下文说的是为了避免意外事故，要买保险，免收意外事故的影响，与F项“It will insure yourself against unexpected accidents(它能使你免受意外事故的影响)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。

Building with 3D printing technology is sparking widespread interest in the construction industry. Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment, it can speed up construction from weeks, or months, to days. To see how the technology can change the world around us, here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building.
Instant Neighborhood
Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco, Mexico, aimed at tackling global homelessness. American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours. New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world.
Nested Housing
Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP. This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy. Its round designs are based on the wasp (黄蜂) nest. Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture, artistic objects and more.
Think Schools
African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world’s most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education. Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week.
Concrete Steps
Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days. The project used 500 layers of concrete and 53 hollow blocks, held in place by compression (压缩). This reduces materials by up to 70 per cent, and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled.
1．What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing
A．A featured laboratory. B．A forward-thinking school.
C．A round wasp nest. D．A long stone bridge.
2．Which 3D construction project can be torn down and reused
A．Instant Neighborhood. B．Concrete Steps.
C．Think School. D．Nested Housing.
3．What do these four 3D building projects have in common
A．They use local materials. B．They make construction faster.
C．They are affordable to the homeless. D．They are high in cost.

There are people for whom the motivation lies in their family or companions’ duties. For some people, the purpose lies in a soul’s spiritual awakening. Brent Clayton, a firefighter by profession, is one such individual who found his purpose early in life and kept working to fulfill it.
Born on March 3, 1984, Clayton hugely felt the need to serve others. He followed his mission in life and acquired his diploma in Public Safety. He gradually realized the importance of securing people’s lives, which strengthened his faith in his mission. Clayton further pursued his bachelor’s degree from The University of Melbourne and master’s degree from Federation University Australia. Then, Clayton worked in the military for a period before moving into a role with the prison service as a prison guard, the youngest person to ever be employed by the service at the time.
After spending a decade in the fire service including training and recruitment (招募), he gained enough experience to become Australia’s most prominent fire service recruitment expert. Clayton devoted many years of his life to the firefighter recruitment process and fire service industry. He wanted people to realize the true value of this profession by establishing its significance. To communicate his perspective, Clayton established Fire Recruitment Australia in 2009. He aimed to train the next generation and prepare them for the future. Clayton used his experience and years-long training to prepare candidates who were as enthusiastic about the well-being of the world as him.
Keeping the point in mind, Clayton wrote the book Fire Service Recruitment—the Process to Success. His idea was to join his learning into an accessible medium so others didn’t have to waste years wondering what to do when applying to become a firefighter. After the success of the book, Clayton introduced candidates to a comprehensive test preparation and learning suite to facilitate (促进) success throughout each stage of the selection process. This platform helped him as well as his candidates to work together for the betterment of themselves and ultimately society at large.
4．What made Clayton’s belief stronger
A．The military experience. B．The support of his family.
C．The significance of people’s safety. D．The knowledge he learned from college.
5．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 3
A．Stubborn. B．Fearless. C．Outstanding. D．Energetic.
6．Why did Clayton set up Fire Recruitment Australia
A．Because he could earn a good reputation.
B．Because he wanted to join his learning into an accessible medium.
C．Because he wanted to realize his dream of being a firefighter leader.
D．Because he hoped to get young people ready for their future career.
7．What is the best title for the text
A．A Man with Great Purpose B．A Book for Career Success
C．An Organization for Well-being D．A Standard for Firefighters

Mosquitoes see red when they look at your skin, and that brings them in for a bite, according to new research showing that these insects find certain colors more attractive.
The findings mean that what you wear can reduce your chances of being bitten, but there’s little you can do in terms of your skin. That’s because everyone’s skin gives off a strong red-orange signal that’s highly attractive to mosquitoes.
“I used to say there are three major signals that attract mosquitoes: your breath, your sweat and the temperature of your skin,” said senior study author Jeffrey Riffell, a professor of biology at the University of Washington in Seattle. “In this study, we found a fourth signal: the color red, which can be found not only on your clothes, but also in everyone’s skin. The shade of your skin doesn’t matter, we’ re all giving off a strong red signal.”
Researchers found that when a common species of mosquito called Aedes aegypti detects carbon dioxide (CO2) from our breath, it then looks for specific colors-including red, orange and black — to find its meal of blood. But it ignores colors such as green, purple, blue and white.
“Mosquitoes appear to use smell to help them distinguish what is nearby, like a host to bite,” Riffell said. “When they detect specific compounds, like CO2 from our breath, that smell stimulates the eyes to scan for specific colors and other visual patterns, which are associated with a potential host, and then they head to them.”
That process is similar to when a person smells something good. “Imagine you’ re on a sidewalk and you smell pies,” Riffell said. “That’s probably a sign that there’s a bakery nearby, and you might start looking around for it. Here, we started to learn what visual elements mosquitoes are looking for after smelling their own version of a bakery.”
Knowing which colors do or don’t tempt mosquitoes may lead to better repellents (驱虫剂), traps and other methods to prevent mosquitoes.
8．What does Jeffrey Riffell’s study find
A．Mosquitoes tend to have a preference for bright colors.
B．Mosquito biting depends significantly on your skin color.
C．Mosquito biting has something to do with your clothes.
D．Mosquitoes will avoid biting you when you sweat heavily.
9．Which sense do mosquitoes make use of first in finding a potential target
A．Hearing. B．Sight. C．Smell. D．Touch.
10．The underlined word “tempt” in the last paragraph most probably means “___________”.
A．calm down B．appeal to C．frighten away D．get rid of
11．In which section of a newspaper can the text most probably appear
A．Science, B．Entertainment. C．Fashion. D．Education.
D
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(重叠)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 have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego(夸大的自我)of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism and materialism...perhaps even a new type of president.
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 label this approach as a recipe for 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 arrogant, 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 or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to 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. There’s no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It’s tempting 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．Why teenagers’ strengths are often mistaken for narcissism
A．Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism.
B．Contradiction is human nature of many people.
C．There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
D．Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
13．The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 to show that_______.
A．they are both victims of binary thinking
B．one can be both modest and sure of himself
C．confidence is quite important for celebrities
D．public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism
14．What’s the author’s attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches
A．Skeptical. B．Favorable. C．Neutral. D．Cautious.
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Teens’ Strength Psychology B．Teens’ Narcissism Diagnosis
C．Teens’ Anxiety and Depression D．Teens’ Confidence Misunderstood

My Own Beat
My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.
“What are you doing here You’re a single mom of five. You’re fifty years old!” My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. Even so, it was as if I had no control over my feet. As if they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me.
Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream.
Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting (动来动去) with the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me.
“Stephanie I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said.
People make me nervous. That’s the way I’ve always been. But Mike had a very calm manner about him, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he complimented me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him.
“You are fine. I see so much potential in you,” he told me.
Soon my thirty-minute lesson is over. Walking back to my car, I felt full of excitement and energy. I thought of how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and watched proudly as they bravely went in front of judges and audiences.
Now it felt scary and amazing at the same time to follow my dream and do something that was purely for my enjoyment, something just for me. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

9．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“When they detect specific compounds, like CO2 from our breath, that smell stimulates the eyes to scan for specific colors and other visual patterns, which are associated with a potential host, and then they head to them.(当它们检测到特定的化合物，比如我们呼吸中的二氧化碳，这种气味会刺激眼睛扫描与潜在宿主相关的特定颜色和其他视觉模式，然后它们就会朝宿主走去。)”可知，当蚊子探测到特定的化合物，这种气味会刺激眼睛扫描与潜在宿主相关的颜色和其他视觉模式，然后飞向宿主，由此可知，蚊子首先利用嗅觉寻找潜在的目标。故选C项。

11．推理判断题。根据首段“Mosquitoes see red when they look at your skin, and that brings them in for a bite, according to new research showing that these insects find certain colors more attractive. (根据一项新的研究，蚊子看到你的皮肤时看到的是红色，这就会吸引它们来咬你，这些昆虫发现某些颜色更有吸引力。)”并结合下文中对该项研究的分析可知，本文讲述的是一项新的研究发现，红色对蚊子具有一定的吸引力，与科学研究相关，由此可知，该文应出自于报纸的科学栏目。故选A项。
12．A 13．B 14．B 15．D
【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讲述因为人们对个人能力和自恋之间的认识不足，导致对青少年的自信产生误解。
12．细节理解题。根据第五段“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 or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored “go-to” topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.”(为什么会这样？部分原因是人们更了解自恋，而不是能力。尽管心理学的优势在很大程度上保持在学术期刊的极限范围内，或者仅仅应用于某些特定的环境，比如工作场所，但自恋的研究已经进入了大众媒体，进入了我们的集体意识。《纽约时报》指出，自恋是一个受欢迎的“首选”话题，世界各地的人们都在用它来诊断其他人。)可知，青少年的能力经常被误认为是自恋，是因为对学术期刊和大众媒体对自恋的了解更多。故选A。
13．推理判断题。根据第六段“We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble.”(我们错误地认为一个人不可能既自信又谦虚。)可知，这一段，作者认为人们的看法——一个人不可能既自信又谦虚——是错误的，所以用甘地和特蕾莎为例，来证明他的观点，即一个人既自信又谦虚是可能的。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”(但是我想站出来，为成千上万的孩子们发声，即使他们发挥了自己的长处，但是他们关心人、体贴、谦逊。)可知，作者对幼儿自信建立法是支持的态度。故选B。
15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“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(重叠)between strength-based science and the research on narcissism”(心理科学充满了有趣的话题，其中许多都描绘了人性的连贯画面，但有些却创造了看似矛盾的东西。一个恰当的例子就是，基于能力的科学和关于自恋的研究之间存在微妙和被误解的重叠。)可知，这篇文章主要讲述人们对青少年的自信产生了误解。故选D。
