Five-year-old Willard Wigan struggled to tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9. Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn’t like school. Usually, his mind drifted—to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them—small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses.
At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and creat tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.
At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence.
Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.”
Willard Wigan microsculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be BIG.
4. Which of the following best describes Willard’s teacher
A. Sympathetic. B. Unhelpful. C. Impatient. D. Careless.
5. Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants
A. Because he had a love for little things.
B. Because he was absent-minded in class.
C. Because he wouldn’t have to struggle at school.
D. Because he thought they both seemed unimportant.
6. What can we infer from the text
A. Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream.
B. Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work.
C. Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time.
D. Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school.
7. Which of the following may Willard agree with
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Success belongs to those who don’t give up.
C. Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals.
D. Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Willard Wigan自幼患有阅读障碍症。他爱上了创造微小的事物,比如给蚂蚁建一座“精装修”的房子。在妈妈的鼓励下,Willard努力成为一名微雕艺术家。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him.(不幸的是,他的老师对阅读障碍一无所知,这是一种会使字母和数字混淆的学习障碍。她没有试图帮助他。)”可知,Willard的老师帮不上他忙,可以用unhelpful来描述,故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them—small and insignificant.(Willard对那些蚂蚁特别好奇。他觉得自己和它们一样——渺小而微不足道。)”可知,Willard对给蚂蚁建房子感兴趣是因为他觉得他和蚂蚁一样,都不重要。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“At school...His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.(在学校……他的艺术水平提高了,对小事物的喜爱也开始在他心中滋长。)”可推断出,Willard在上学的时候发现了一种制作更好艺术品的方法。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.”(但他说:“成功不是物质上的东西,比如一块昂贵的手表或一枚昂贵的戒指;这是关于坚持和实现你的梦想。”)”可推断出,Willard可能会同意的说法是成功属于那些不放弃的人。故选B。
C
Do you ever talk to yourself Although it’s not always a conscious habit, most of us practice self-talk on a daily basis, as away of guiding, motivating or supporting ourselves.
Over the years, research has shown that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings. “There is solid evidence that self-talk strategies improve learning and performance,” according to sport psychologist Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis, who studies the phenomenon of self-talk.
He explains that there are generally three reasons why we practice self-talk: to instruct, to motivate or to evaluate. Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self-talk mostly is related to past events or actions.
Hatzigeorgiadis stresses that if we want to use such self-talk to good advantage, it needs to be short, precise and, most of all, consistent. Of course, self-talk also can be ineffective and even detrimental if it’s not done right.
“It is a matter of personal preference or what works for each person; but generally, it is advised that self-talk be positively rather than negatively phrased and focus on what you should do rather than on what you should avoid,” Hatzigeorgiadis says. So, for example, it would be better to say “stay cool” instead of “don’t get upset”. Although both instructions convey the same meaning, you should use positive words rather than negative ones. In this way you can avoid ill results.
Another thing that can make a difference when practicing self-talk is the way you address yourself. According to research published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, using “you” rather than “I” when talking to yourself tends to be more effective. The researchers explain that when you think of yourself as another person, it allows you to give more objective and useful feedback.
8. What does the research say about self-talk
A. It is a daily habit for everyone. B. It can make people feel better.
C. It may help strengthen memory. D. It is always an unconscious behavior.
9. What can be concluded from Hatzigeorgiadis’ explanation
A. Self-talk occurs in different situations. B. Self-talk usually makes one brave.
C. Self-talk arises with various feelings. D. Self-talk is closely linked with a certain task.
10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Confusing. B. Useless. C. Harmful. D. Unbearable.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Self-talk: a close relation to the past B. Self-talk: a great way to avoid ill results
C. Self-talk: a useful tool to benefit our life D. Self-talk: a matter of personal preference
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自言自语带来的好处、产生的主要原因以及自言自语时需要注意的问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Over the years, research has shown that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings. (多年来,研究表明,自言自语可以提高工作效率、动力和信心,甚至有助于管理情绪。)”可知,自言自语可以改善心情,让人感觉更好。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“He explains that there are generally three reasons why we practice self-talk: to instruct, to motivate or to evaluate. Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self-talk mostly is related to past events or actions. (他解释说,我们练习自言自语通常有三个原因:指导、激励或评估。指导性的自言自语发生在我们需要指导自己完成一项特定任务时,比如学习一项新技能。当我们想要为一些具有挑战性的事情做好准备时,通常会使用动机性的自言自语;它可以帮助增加自信。评价性的自言自语大多与过去的事件或行为有关。)”可知,Hatzigeorgiadis在第三段中解释了自言自语出现的三个主要原因及对应的情形,由此可推知自言自语会在不同的情形下发生。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。第四段第一句“Hatzigeorgiadis stresses that if we want to use such self-talk to good advantage, it needs to be short, precise and, most of all, consistent.(Hatzigeorgiadis强调,如果我们想要充分利用这种自言自语,它需要简短、准确,最重要的是,前后一致。)”讲述了从自言自语中获益的方式,即让自言自语具备三个特点:short(简短的) 、precise(准确的) 、consistent(连续的) 。再结合画线词所在句和第五段尾句“In this way you can avoid ill results. (这样你就可以避免坏结果。)”可知,画线词所在句表示如果自言自语的方式不对,自言自语可能无效甚至带来坏的影响。画线词detrimental与下文中的ill意思相近,所以选harmful“有害的”。 故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Over the years, research has shown that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings. (多年来,研究表明,自言自语可以提高工作效率、动力和信心,甚至有助于管理情绪。)”及全文可知,文章介绍了自言自语带来的好处、产生的主要原因以及自言自语时需要注意的问题。文章的核心内容是如何从自言自语中受益,换言之:善加利用,自言自语是能让我们受益的好方法。所以“Self-talk: a useful tool to benefit our life(自言自语:有益于我们生活的有用工具)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。
D
We’ve all been in a position where life gets busy, schedules are difficult to coordinate and connecting with friends feels harder than ever. With some friendships, we may lose touch and want to reconnect. However,the more time that passes, the more uncertain it can feel if they want to hear from us.
A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology says it’s time to reach out. Researchers found numerous benefits when reaching out to friends and old acquaintances. Especially if you’re unsure of how well they’ll receive hearing from you. The study, led by Dr Peggy Liu, is called The Surprise of Reaching Out: Appreciated More Than We Think. In the study, researchers posed the question: Do people accurately understand how much other people value being reached out to by someone in their social circle To answer this question, researchers carried out 13 experiments with more than 5,900 participants. In the experiments, researchers measured how much people estimated their friends or acquaintances would appreciate them reaching out versus how much those on the receiving end did appreciate it. They also examined different forms of communication-phone calls, texts, emails, notes or even small gifts—and their impact.
Over the series of experiments, experts discovered a similar trend: those reaching out significantly underestimated how much their friends would appreciate hearing from them. Plus, the more unexpected the communication was, the more the friend on the receiving end appreciated it. “People are fundamentally social beings and enjoy connecting with others,” the researchers wrote.
In fact, what made these moments of reaching out so impactful was the effort they showed—no matter the form of communication. Dr Amie Gordon, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan, emphasises the importance of small moments and making efforts in relationships in a Psychology Today article. “In a busy life, these little moments might feel just like that—little moments that don’t really matter ... But each moment we ignore is a missed opportunity to connect and build up an emotional bank of positive moments.”
The science is clear—people appreciate the effort we put into our friendships. And we greatly underestimate it. One phenomenon that may explain why those who reached out underestimated their positive impact is because of “the liking gap”. Psychologist Terri Apter writes in Psychology Today that the liking gap is a tendency to “how we often underestimate other’s responses to us”, and the reality that other people like us more than we may think.
12. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ______.
A. state some disturbing problems
B. present the background of the following topic
C. introduce the theme of his argument
D. make comparisons between different opinions
13. What could be inferred from the experiments according to the text

C. People tend to appreciate hearing from friends more than reaching out to them.
D. We are more well-liked and well-received than we expect in our friendships.
14. Why does the author mention Dr. Amie Gordon in paragraph 4
A. To present the discovery of the study.
B. To support the findings theoretically.
C. To explain the causes of losing friendships.
D. To make suggestions about the topic.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Estimate Friendships in a Scientific Way
B. Appreciate Being Reached Out to by friends
C. Remove the Misunderstanding between Friends
D. Don’t Hesitate to Reconnect with Your Old Friends
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,该研究表明,与朋友和老熟人联系有很多好处,尤其是当你不确定他们会如何接受你的消息时。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“We’ve all been in a position where life gets busy, schedules are difficult to coordinate and connecting with friends feels harder than ever. With some friendships, we may lose touch and want to reconnect. However,the more time that passes, the more uncertain it can feel if they want to hear from us.(我们都处于这样的境地:生活变得忙碌,日程很难协调,与朋友联系比以往任何时候都更难。对于一些友谊,我们可能会失去联系,想要重新联系。然而,时间过得越久,我们就越不确定他们是否想要我们的消息。)”可知,我们之所以不和老朋友联系,是因为我们不确定他们是否想要我们的消息。而第二段“A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology says it’s time to reach out. Researchers found numerous benefits when reaching out to friends and old acquaintances. Especially if you’re unsure of how well they’ll receive hearing from you.(最近发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一项研究表明,是时候向别人伸出友谊之手了。研究人员发现,与朋友和老熟人联系有很多好处。尤其是当你不确定他们会如何接受你的消息时。)”则告诉我们,老朋友希望我们和他们联系,多联系是有好处的。所以,第一段是介绍了本文主题的背景。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The study, led by Dr Peggy Liu, is called The Surprise of Reaching Out: Appreciated More Than We Think.(佩吉·刘博士领导的这项研究被称为“伸出手的惊喜:比我们想象的更感激”。)”以及第三段“Over the series of experiments, experts discovered a similar trend: those reaching out significantly underestimated how much their friends would appreciate hearing from them. (在一系列实验中,专家们发现了一个类似的趋势:那些主动联系朋友的人严重低估了朋友对他们的感激程度。)”可知,在友谊中,我们比我们预想的更受欢迎。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段提到Dr Amie Gordon前的“In fact, what made these moments of reaching out so impactful was the effort they showed—no matter the form of communication.(事实上,让这些接触的时刻如此有影响力的是他们所表现出的努力——无论交流的形式是什么。)”可知,作者先提出自己的观点。再根据Dr Amie Gordon所说的“Dr Amie Gordon, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan, emphasises the importance of small moments and making efforts in relationships in a Psychology Today article. “In a busy life, these little moments might feel just like that—little moments that don’t really matter ... But each moment we ignore is a missed opportunity to connect and build up an emotional bank of positive moments.”(密歇根大学的社会心理学家阿米·戈登博士在《今日心理学》的一篇文章中强调了小时刻的重要性,强调了在人际关系中努力的重要性。“在忙碌的生活中,这些小时刻可能就是那样的感觉——不重要的小时刻……但我们忽视的每一个时刻都是一次错失的机会,错失了建立积极时刻情感库的机会。”)”可知,文章提到Dr Amie Gordon是为了给自己的论点提供理论依据。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology says it’s time to reach out. Researchers found numerous benefits when reaching out to friends and old acquaintances. Especially if you’re unsure of how well they’ll receive hearing from you.(最近发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一项研究表明,是时候向别人伸出友谊之手了。研究人员发现,与朋友和老熟人联系有很多好处。尤其是当你不确定他们会如何接受你的消息时。)”以及倒数第二段“Dr Amie Gordon, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan, emphasises the importance of small moments and making efforts in relationships in a Psychology Today article. “In a busy life, these little moments might feel just like that—little moments that don’t really matter ... But each moment we ignore is a missed opportunity to connect and build up an emotional bank of positive moments.”(密歇根大学的社会心理学家Amie Gordon博士在《今日心理学》的一篇文章中强调了小时刻的重要性,强调了在人际关系中努力的重要性。“在忙碌的生活中,这些小时刻可能就是那样的感觉——不重要的小时刻……但我们忽视的每一个时刻都是一次错失的机会,错失了建立积极时刻情感库的机会。”)”和文章最后一段“The science is clear—people appreciate the effort we put into our friendships. And we greatly underestimate it.(科学很清楚——人们会欣赏我们为友谊付出的努力。我们大大低估了它。)”可知,文章主要告诉我们当你主动联系别人时,在别人,是感激也是感动。由此可以判断,文章主要是让读者多和老朋友联系。所以“Don’t Hesitate to Reconnect with Your Old Friends(不要犹豫,重新联系你的老朋友)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了国家级非物质文化遗产:灶头画。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:杨飞跃报道说,装饰性的炉灶艺术品吸引了越来越多的崇拜者,他们喜欢这些艺术品唤起的回忆。短语:a number of+名词复数,表示“许多……“,所以此处用名词复数。admire“羡慕”为动词,admirer“崇拜者,仰慕者”,为可数名词,故填admirers。
【37题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:2011年嘉兴独特的艺术形式被列为国家级非物质文化遗产。分析句子可知,空处在句中为谓语,结合句中“in 2011”可知,此处的时态为一般过去时;句子主语“The distinctive art form”为单数含义,和动词“list”为动宾关系,所以语态用被动语态,故填was listed。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:今年2月初,嘉兴一个村庄的春节联欢晚会上,一个带有丰富生动图像的旧木炉子占据了舞台中央。分析句子可知,本句的谓语动词为took,所以空处为非谓语。句子主语“stove”与动词“bear”为主谓关系,所以此处用现在分词bearing,故填bearing。
【39题详解】
考查定于从句。句意:这些图像以历史人物和传奇人物、童话故事、动物和花卉为主题,所有这些都被描绘成鲜艳的色彩,并以一种吸引观众注意力的方式。分析句子可知,“ all of ______ are depicted in bright colors and have a way of claiming attention from viewers.”为非限制性定语从句,空处指代整个主句,在从句中作主语,结合空前介词of,所以此处用关系代词which,故填which。
【40题详解】
考查不定式。句意:曾经有一个以花卉人物为主题的灶头农舍很普遍,尤其是长江下游地区的农舍。分析句子可知,本句使用了it作形式主语的句式:It was common for sb./sth. to do sth.,“for farmhouses ______(have) a zaotou”为真正的主语,所以空处用不定式to have,故填to have。
【41题详解】
考查事件状语从句的连词。句意:在煤气炉或微波炉出现之前,当地人在里面烧柴火和稻草来做饭。分析句子可知,“______ gas burners or microwave ovens were available”为状语从句,根据句意可知,当地人烧柴火和稻草来做饭应该是在煤气炉或微波炉出现之前,故填before。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:来自海盐市通源镇的赵(先生)说:“历史证据表明,这门艺术至少有300年的历史。”短语:have a history of“有着……的历史”,故填a。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:从事灶头画的人大多是农村地区的泥瓦匠,他们经常受雇于村民,在新家里建造泥炉。短语:engage in“从事……”,故填in。
【44题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意同上。修饰名词用形容词,结合空后名词home,所以此处用形容词性物主代词their,故填their。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:“但是不管用什么材料,炉灶画总是具有象征意义,并且对主人怀有美好的祝愿。”赵说。空处在句中作表语,所以此处用形容词symbolic,故填symbolic。
第三节单句语法填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

【答案】illegal

57. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I need to do something in my community (社区) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing our dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act How would they treat me Would they hate me for having more than they did While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous, I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting.
I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had totally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.
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。
As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
As they came in my direction, I put on my brightest and happiest smile. Nervous as I felt, I did my best to keep myself calm and packed bread, salad and meat to those in need. Upon noticing my hurried and trembling hands, the lady next to me smilingly told me that I should first organize these people to queue up and then hand out salad one by one. I immediately sprang into action and the passing time witnessed the smooth process of this event. Every one of them including those who looked very dangerous murmured in a cheering voice “Thank you” and bowed to me sincerely, which brought warmth straight into my heart. It was not until the night wiped out the last ray of sun that we finished our community service for the homeless.
I was so happy that I had earned my service hours in this way. I was aware that my time spent at the soup kitchen was really a rewarding, enriching and life-changing experience. Not only did I clear my previous prejudice against those who deserved compassion and support, but also I served the people who were less fortunate than me. In the meanwhile, I suddenly came to realize that not everyone was blessed with fortune and born to be wealthy, and therefore, we should always keep grateful for what life blessed us with. I now felt it a duty to do what I could for them. Since that day, I have spared more time in offering my service opportunity in dining halls, in the streets, in front of grocery stores.

Five-year-old Willard Wigan struggled to tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9. Unfortunately his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn’t like school. Usually, his mind drifted—to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them—small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses.
At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and creat tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.
At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence.
Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.”
Willard Wigan, microsculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be BIG.
4. Which of the following best describes Willard’s teacher
A. Sympathetic. B. Unhelpful. C. Impatient. D. Careless.
5. Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants
A Because he had a love for little things.
B. Because he was absent-minded in class.
C. Because he wouldn’t have to struggle at school.
D. Because he thought they both seemed unimportant.
6. What can we infer from the text
A. Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream.
B. Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work.
C. Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time.
D. Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school.
7. Which of the following may Willard agree with
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Success belongs to those who don’t give up.
C. Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals.
D. Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work.

Do you ever talk to yourself Although it’s not always a conscious habit, most of us practice self-talk on a daily basis, as away of guiding, motivating or supporting ourselves.
Over the years, research has shown that self-talk can increase productivity, motivation and confidence, and even help manage feelings. “There is solid evidence that self-talk strategies improve learning and performance,” according to sport psychologist Antonis Hatzigeorgiadis, who studies the phenomenon of self-talk.
He explains that there are generally three reasons why we practice self-talk: to instruct, to motivate or to evaluate. Instructional self-talk happens when we need to guide ourselves through a specific task, such as learning a new skill. Motivational self-talk usually is used when we want to prepare ourselves for something challenging; it can help to increase confidence. Evaluative self-talk mostly is related to past events or actions.
Hatzigeorgiadis stresses that if we want to use such self-talk to good advantage, it needs to be short, precise and, most of all, consistent. Of course, self-talk also can be ineffective and even detrimental if it’s not done right.
“It is a matter of personal preference or what works for each person; but generally, it is advised that self-talk be positively rather than negatively phrased and focus on what you should do rather than on what you should avoid,” Hatzigeorgiadis says. So, for example, it would be better to say “stay cool” instead of “don’t get upset”. Although both instructions convey the same meaning, you should use positive words rather than negative ones. In this way you can avoid ill results.
Another thing that can make a difference when practicing self-talk is the way you address yourself. According to research published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, using “you” rather than “I” when talking to yourself tends to be more effective. The researchers explain that when you think of yourself as another person, it allows you to give more objective and useful feedback.
8. What does the research say about self-talk
A. It is a daily habit for everyone. B. It can make people feel better.
C. It may help strengthen memory. D. It is always an unconscious behavior.
9. What can be concluded from Hatzigeorgiadis’ explanation
A. Self-talk occurs in different situations. B. Self-talk usually makes one brave.
C. Self-talk arises with various feelings. D. Self-talk is closely linked with a certain task.
10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Confusing. B. Useless. C. Harmful. D. Unbearable.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Self-talk: a close relation to the past B. Self-talk: a great way to avoid ill results
C. Self-talk: a useful tool to benefit our life D. Self-talk: a matter of personal preference
D
We’ve all been in a position where life gets busy, schedules are difficult to coordinate and connecting with friends feels harder than ever. With some friendships, we may lose touch and want to reconnect. However,the more time that passes, the more uncertain it can feel if they want to hear from us.
A recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology says it’s time to reach out. Researchers found numerous benefits when reaching out to friends and old acquaintances. Especially if you’re unsure of how well they’ll receive hearing from you. The study, led by Dr Peggy Liu, is called The Surprise of Reaching Out: Appreciated More Than We Think. In the study, researchers posed the question: Do people accurately understand how much other people value being reached out to by someone in their social circle To answer this question, researchers carried out 13 experiments with more than 5,900 participants. In the experiments, researchers measured how much people estimated their friends or acquaintances would appreciate them reaching out versus how much those on the receiving end did appreciate it. They also examined different forms of communication-phone calls, texts, emails, notes or even small gifts—and their impact.
Over the series of experiments, experts discovered a similar trend: those reaching out significantly underestimated how much their friends would appreciate hearing from them. Plus, the more unexpected the communication was, the more the friend on the receiving end appreciated it. “People are fundamentally social beings and enjoy connecting with others,” the researchers wrote.
In fact, what made these moments of reaching out so impactful was the effort they showed—no matter the form of communication. Dr Amie Gordon, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan, emphasises the importance of small moments and making efforts in relationships in a Psychology Today article. “In a busy life, these little moments might feel just like that—little moments that don’t really matter ... But each moment we ignore is a missed opportunity to connect and build up an emotional bank of positive moments.”
The science is clear—people appreciate the effort we put into our friendships. And we greatly underestimate it. One phenomenon that may explain why those who reached out underestimated their positive impact is because of “the liking gap”. Psychologist Terri Apter writes in Psychology Today that the liking gap is a tendency to “how we often underestimate other’s responses to us”, and the reality that other people like us more than we may think.

57. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I need to do something in my community (社区) in order to complete the community service hours required to graduate from high school. Some of my friends had signed up to spend time at a soup kitchen, so I did, too. It seemed like a good thing to do.
I thought that we would just be passing our dinners to those in need, but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner. We began preparing the food, from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat. Much still needed to be done before dinner was served, but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner.
As the line of people came toward me, I got a little scared. I’d come face to face with the homeless: How should I act How would they treat me Would they hate me for having more than they did While some of the people looked very friendly, some of them looked so dangerous, I didn’t have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned (分配) to serve the salad with the lady next to me. She smiled at me and said if I needed help, she’d be right there, which I found quite comforting.
I had never seen so many people wanting food. They were of all ages and nationalities. Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty. Some looked like they had totally given up on life, while others seemed to be making the best of the situation, smiling and joking. Some were better off than others, but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat. It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn’t have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen.
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。
