Ian McKenna was in third grade when he learned that many kids at his school weren’t getting enough to eat at home. He wanted to help, but local volunteer organizations turned him away, saying he was too young. So he decided to find his own solution. For years, he had been gardening with his mother, and they often sent their vegetables to the neighbors. “I’m good at gardening,” said McKenna. “Why not plant a garden at school so that kids in need can take food home ”
McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time. Within months, McKenna’s garden was producing lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers for students and their families. Now, several years later, McKenna’s Giving Garden project has expanded to five area schools in addition to his own backyard garden. For most of his gardening activities, McKenna wears the same T-shirt in different colors, with his personal motto on it: BE A GOOD HUMAN. To him, that means helping in any way you can, no matter what your age.
“Even a smile might change someone’s life,” he said. “It lets them know that they are important. It can make their day.”
When COVID-19 hit the U. S., McKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute (分发) them to the hungry on the weekends. When social distancing meant that volunteers couldn’t work on their community garden, he started offering online classes and a gardening hotline so families could grow at home. While gardening is his core focus, McKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.
4. What led to McKenna’s decision to help the kids in his own way
A. His school’s support.
B. His mother’s suggestion.
C. Being good at gardening.
D Being refused by volunteer groups.
5. What do we know about the Giving Garden project
A. It helps students only.
B. It is funded by schools.
C. It earns great profits every year.
D. It started with the support from many sides.
6. Which of the following can best describe Mckenna
A Caring. B. Outgoing.
C. Honest. D. Interesting.
7. What is the best title of the passage
A. Ian McKenna, Growing a Food Project
B. Ian McKenna, an Experienced Gardener
C. The Giving Garden Project, a Challenging Task
D. The Giving Garden Project, a Universal Solution
C
“Easy come, easy go” as the old saying goes. It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Stanley 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.
Stanley 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 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,” Stanley said.
He discussed life aboard the Space Station, including spending time with Russian astronauts. 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, Stanley 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,” Stanley said in the end.
8. Based on Stanley’s experience, which is his major occupation
A. A speaker. B. A spaceman.
C. A firefighter. D. A scientist.
9. What may benefit Stanley most when he lived with Russian astronauts
A. He developed good relationships with others.
B. He picked up different cultures.
C. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.
D. He won some awards through teamwork.
10. Which of the following can best describe Stanley
A. Determined. B. Aggressive.
C. Gifted. D. Disgusting.
11. What does the author intend to tell us from Stanley’s story
A. Nurture passes nature.
B. Life is not all roses.
C. Difficult things are demanding but rewarding.
D. Have a vision in order to win.
D
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was invented by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The MBTI personality inventory (量表) sorts people into 16 type categories, each of which is represented by four-letter codes such as INFP and ESTJ. Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. Many companies, as well as hundreds of universities, use it in hiring and training.
Nevertheless, the MBTI has received a noticeable criticism from the academic community. Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI, which is the ability of the test to accurately link the “types” to outcomes in the real world -for example, how well people classified as a certain type will perform in a given job.
Merve Emre, a professor a Oxford University, points out that it would be more scientifically advisable to score the MBTI scales continuously to show people the degree to which they resemble the types. Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people.
Scoring and interpreting the MBTI the way other personality inventories are scored and interpreted might be less fun than finding. All of the folklore (民间看法) about INFPs, ESTJs, etc. would have to be dismissed. But, in the end the MBTI is sufficiently reliable and valid enough to be useful in a number of real-world contexts.
12. What do we know about the MBTI from the first paragraph
A. It is a personality-testing tool. B. It is divided into 16 categories.
C. It is a study of personal preference. D. It is a questionnaire on four-letter codes.
13. Why does the MBTI invite criticism
A. It performs badly in job interviews B. Its reliability has been questioned.
C. It requires people to retake the test D. Its advantages are not fully shown.
14. What does Merve Emre think of the MBTI
A. It is beyond criticism. B. It is a more scientific test.
C. It is less fun than other tests. D. It is useful for self-exploration.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How Can We Use the MBTI B. Why do We Criticise the MBTI
C. Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless D. Is Scoring the MBTI Really Necessary

For years, he had been gardening with his mother, and they often sent their vegetables to the neighbors. “I’m good at gardening,” said McKenna. “Why not plant a garden at school so that kids in need can take food home ”
McKenna persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden; then he asked the community for donations of seeds and equipment. Other students donated their time. Within months, McKenna’s garden was producing lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers for students and their families. Now, several years later, McKenna’s Giving Garden project has expanded to five area schools in addition to his own backyard garden. For most of his gardening activities, McKenna wears the same T-shirt in different colors, with his personal motto on it: BE A GOOD HUMAN. To him, that means helping in any way you can, no matter what your age.
“Even a smile might change someone’s life,” he said. “It lets them know that they are important. It can make their day.”
When COVID-19 hit the U. S. McKenna redoubled his efforts, cooking up to 100 meals to distribute (分发) them to the hungry on the weekends. When social distancing meant that volunteers couldn’t work on their community garden, he started offering online classes and a gardening hotline so families could grow at home. While gardening is his core focus, McKenna says he is always looking for new ways to help the hungry.
4. What led to McKenna’s decision to help the kids in his own way

C. Being good at gardening.
D. Being refused by volunteer groups.

“Easy come, easy go” as the old saying goes. It’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Stanley 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.
Stanley 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 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,” Stanley said.
He discussed life aboard the Space Station, including spending time with Russian astronauts. 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, Stanley 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,” Stanley said in the end.
8. Based on Stanley’s experience, which is his major occupation
A. A speaker. B. A spaceman.
C. A firefighter. D. A scientist.
9. What may benefit Stanley most when he lived with Russian astronauts
A. He developed good relationships with others.
B. He picked up different cultures.
C. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.
D. He won some awards through teamwork.
10. Which of the following can best describe Stanley
A. Determined. B. Aggressive.
C. Gifted. D. Disgusting.
11. What does the author intend to tell us from Stanley’s story
A. Nurture passes nature.
B. Life is not all roses.
C. Difficult things are demanding but rewarding.
D. Have a vision in order to win.

(他讨论了空间站上的生活，包括与俄罗斯宇航员相处的时间。他和飞船上的每一个人都相处得很好，因为他们住在一起，一起工作，不得不互相依赖。他认为这是他一生中最有意义的事情之一。)” 可知，当斯坦利和俄罗斯宇航员生活在一起时，他与他人建立了良好的关系，这对他最有好处。故选A。

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,” Stanley said in the end.( “永远不要放弃或降低你的梦想。如果你为之努力，一切皆有可能。如果你连试都不试，成功的机会是零。当你努力之后成功了，你会发现它真的很值得。”斯坦利最后说。)”可推断，斯坦利是意志坚定的。故选A。

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was invented by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The MBTI personality inventory (量表) sorts people into 16 type categories, each of which is represented by four-letter codes such as INFP and ESTJ. Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. Many companies, as well as hundreds of universities, use it in hiring and training.
Nevertheless, the MBTI has received a noticeable criticism from the academic community. Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI, which is the ability of the test to accurately link the “types” to outcomes in the real world -for example, how well people classified as a certain type will perform in a given job.
Merve Emre, a professor a Oxford University, points out that it would be more scientifically advisable to score the MBTI scales continuously to show people the degree to which they resemble the types. Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people.
Scoring and interpreting the MBTI the way other personality inventories are scored and interpreted might be less fun than finding. All of the folklore (民间看法) about INFPs, ESTJs, etc. would have to be dismissed. But, in the end the MBTI is sufficiently reliable and valid enough to be useful in a number of real-world contexts.
12. What do we know about the MBTI from the first paragraph
A. It is a personality-testing tool. B. It is divided into 16 categories.
C. It is a study of personal preference. D. It is a questionnaire on four-letter codes.
13. Why does the MBTI invite criticism
A. It performs badly in job interviews B. Its reliability has been questioned.
C. It requires people to retake the test D. Its advantages are not fully shown.
14. What does Merve Emre think of the MBTI
A. It is beyond criticism. B. It is a more scientific test.
C. It is less fun than other tests. D. It is useful for self-exploration.
15 Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How Can We Use the MBTI B. Why do We Criticise the MBTI
C. Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless D. Is Scoring the MBTI Really Necessary
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了目前火爆全球的MBTI性格测试工具，分析了其利弊，作者最终对此持赞同生态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. (这是一份自我报告问卷，显示了人们在如何感知世界和做出决定方面的不同心理偏好)”以及“Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. (每年，大约1500万人通过完成MBTI测试发现了自己的性格类型)”可知，MBTI是一个性格测试工具。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI. (一些研究表明MBTI是不可靠的，因为同一个人在重新参加测试时可能得到不同的结果。其他研究对MBTI的有效性提出了质疑)”可知，MBTI的可靠性遭到了很多机构的质疑，所以它受到了很多的批判。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people. (即使MBTI的结果与你对自己的直觉不太匹配，或者是错误的，它们仍然可以提供自我洞察力，以及对人与人之间的差异和相似之处的洞察力)”可知，Merve Emre认为MBTI仍然可以作为自我探索的有用的工具。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文，第一段介绍了MBTI；第二段介绍了其由于不太可靠的结果而遭受了很多学术机构的质疑和批评；第三段引用了牛津大学教授的观点，认为其还是可以作为自我探索的有用的工具；以及最后一段，讲述了MBTI还是有一定的作用的。由此可知，全篇文章在讨论MBTI是否有作用。C项“Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless (MBTI完全没有意义吗？)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。

____18____
Many students face a challenge like “Why can’t I remember what I’ve studied ”. ____19____. A tired brain is a barrier to learning. Exercise before studying helps to lift your mood. In fact, physical activity helps wake you up so you feel ready when you sit down with your books.
Absorb information in smaller chunks (块)
____20____ : You divide the 11 numbers into three smaller groups. It’s easier to get these three chunks to stick in your mind than it is to remember the whole thing as a single string of information. You can use this strategy when studying by breaking a list down into smaller parts. Work on memorizing each part as its own group.
Last but not the least, these tips on how to study effectively can only work if there is enough motivation and willpower to do well. You have to motivate yourself to reach the study goals.

根据本段小标题“Play the role of a teacher (扮演老师的角色)”及空后“This will not only help the details stick in your mind but help you to be well prepared for your exams.(这不仅可以帮助你记住细节，还可以帮助你为考试做好准备)”可知，空处是提到扮演老师的角色的另一种做法，下文是其好处，G项“此外，你也可以像老师一样提问自己”符合语境。故选G。
