Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.
All her life she has written, mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of this results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”
After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies.
Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous.
“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.
Does she still feel like an outsider
“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I'm proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”
4. How did Dickins feel about her debut
A. Calm. B. Awkward. C. Stressed. D. Encouraged.
5. What led to Dickins’ lack of a sense of belonging
A. Her immature writing style. B. Her experience at the care home.
C. Her struggle with her university studies. D. Her difficult relationship with her husband.
6. How does writing benefit Dickins
A. It makes her land a good job. B. It sharpens her sense of humor.
C. It enables her to get on well with her life. D. It helps her overcome her learning disabilities.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60 B. Mary Dickins’ First Performance
C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career D. Mary Dickins’ Impact on Performance Poets
C
Anew study reports that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more complicated than we once thought. And it may explain why this annoying insect is so good at seeking you out at a barbecue or in your bedroom and biting you—as well as lead to new strategies to prevent the potentially deadly diseases transmitted by its bite.
Meg Younger, a neuroscientist at Boston University, is co-author of the study. She exhales(呼气)gently into one of the mosquito-filled cages. A waft of carbon dioxide blows across the insects, and they go wild. “And now, they’re looking fora target like the complex mixture of human body smell—a smell that’s attractive to the mosquitoes,” Younger explains.
In many parts of the world, this attraction isn’t merely an annoyance for humans. It’s a major health problem. Mosquitoes transmit diseases to humans. These diseases include dengue, Zika, chikungunya fever and malaria. The last disease alone causes over half a million deaths each year.
So scientists have attempted to break this attraction. But try as they might, the little mosquito has resisted. “They’re really good at what they do,” Younger says. Most of what we know about the neuroscience of smell comes from mice and fruit flies, where the wiring is fairly simple. Each neuron(神经元) in the nose has one kind of receptor(感受器) that detects a single kind of smell—say, a banana. And all the neurons with receptors for the banana smell connect to the same part of the brain. Younger and the others studied mosquito brains, where she found that each neuron has multiple receptors that can detect multiple smells.
This work could give researchers additional ways to battle the insects like developing traps that contain new smell mixtures that are more appealing than people.
“It’s an enormous study,” says Josefina del Marmol, a neurobiologist at the Harvard Medical School. She says there’s more work to be done to check. neuron by neuron, that each one actually responds to all the smells it has receptors for. But regarding the central finding, she says, “It really does change a lot about what we know of how insects perceive the world.”
8. Why does Younger exhale into a mosquito-filled cage
A. To keep targeted mosquitoes alive. B. To confuse the experimented mosquitoes.
C. To experiment on mosquitoes’ sense of smell. D. To see if breath contributes to disease transmission.
9. How do mosquitoes differ from fruit flies
A. They have a clearer smell mechanism. B. They have more neurons to detect smells.
C. They have bigger brain parts focusing on smell. D. They have more smell receptors in each neuron.
10. What is the significance of the study
A. It may have found an ideal way to study insects.
B. It inspires new methods to prevent mosquito bites.
C. It proves the previous assumption about mosquitoes.
D. It sheds light on how mosquitoes transmit diseases.
11. What does Josefina del Marmol think of the research finding
A. It is a big step forward. B. It has many weaknesses.
C. It is far from impressive. D. It has a worldwide influence.
D
“Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity,” wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a coat’s journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric. But with the improvement in people’s living standards, that model is mind-boggling in the era of fast fashion. The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival of the second-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers (零售商) want a slice of the action.
For some buyers and sellers, the switch to the second-hand is born of financial difficulties. Only a few have become worried about the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. Some people worry that some mainstream brands may “greenwash” — using second-hand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability.
However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience (愧疚). Boohoo, a powerful fast fashion company, has seen sales and profits rise, despite concerns about environmental problems in its supply chain that led to an investigation last year.
A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us. A love of style is not a bad or an unimportant thing. But a committed relationship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as others’
12. What does the word “mind-boggling” underlined in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Unbelievable. B. Popular. C. Reasonable. D. Influential.
13. With the business mentioned in paragraph 2, the author wants to show _______.
A. old clothes are more popular than new pieces
B. the online second-hand markets are booming
C. the fashion world begins to favor vintage clothes
D. many clothing brands are innovative in their new products
14. How does the second-hand trade impact people according to paragraph 4
A. It makes people feel free to pursue fast fashion.
B. It makes people more cautious about their budgets.
C. It encourages people to choose eco-friendly clothes.
D. It pushes people to be more engaged with sustainability.
15. Which of the following views does Worn Stories advocate
A. Old items have lost favor with the public.
B Old items are worthy of being long cherished.
C. Older generations attach great importance to old items.
D. Older generations care about the quality of their clothes.

Plan
First, you need to plan what you’re going to say. ____17____. Write down what you want out of the conversation and be clear on what you want to happen as a result.

The second thing you need to do is write down the key messages you want to get across in the conversation. ____18____. Remember to speak slowly, breathe. If you are particularly nervous, rehearse (排练) what you plan to say in front of a friend so you know you are coming across as you wish to.
Be empathetic
Finally, put yourself in the other person’s shoes — however annoying that person might be. The useless boss who never gives you feedback is simply struggling with her own workload. ____19____, the more we can plan how to work with them towards a successful outcome.
When you have the conversation, don’t get blind-sided by fast talkers. If the person you’re speaking to starts to avoid blame or your questioning, ask them what their part is in all of this and what they can take responsibility for. ____20____. And finally, if you feel under pressure, remember to respond slowly rather than reacting quickly.
A. Practise saying them out loud
B. Start with the end result in mind
C. The language you use is also important

When Marco was a boy, he tried everything to get his father’s love and attention. He worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. But he was so sensitive and shy that he always hid behind his hair, which he wore long around his face. To make it worse, Marco was naturally shorter than the other kids. This added to his already low self-confidence.
At 14, he and his younger sister Sandra moved in with their dad and his new wife. His father was busy and their communication was nonexistent. The only time his dad ever spoke to him was to be demanding or critical. He began to fear coming home from school every day, feeling desperately alone and isolated.
One day his father, tripped over Marco’s bike in the garage. The angry reaction left Marco in despair, thus crying out, “That’s it! I’m going to kill myself.”
“You don’t even have the guts!” replied his father.
For two days, all Marco could think of was wanting to die, but he didn’t want to prove his father was right. Angry and sad, Marco was stuck.
Two days later, his aunt called him. This seemed like a miracle. Aunt Ginette usually only called on his birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest and she thought about him. She told him she firmly believed he could perform on stage like those kids, since she had seen him do skits (幽默短剧) for the family at Christmas.
Marco was shocked. Him In a public speaking contest, which was contrary to his shy personality But Aunt Ginette was sure it was something he could do. Feeling her strong belief, Marco agreed.
All that winter, twice a week after dinner, he took three different buses in each direction for the three-hour round-trip to practice in the place where the competition would take place. Marco was taken by a feeling he never felt before. The hours and the obstacles no longer counted. The criticism from his father around his absence for after-dinner chores didn’t matter.

Mary Dickins had been a member of the audience at poetry nights before and knew “the poetry clap”. She made a polite tapping of fingers. But when she made her debut (首次演出) as a performer at the age of 62 at the legendary Bang Said the Gun night in south London, she said, “It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.” The audience stamped their feet and shook shakers. “It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.
All her life she has written, mostly without being seen or heard. Her mother died when she was nine, and, after she went into a care home at 13, Dickins’ writing stayed in notebooks. Really, she says, a lot of her adult life has been about getting over childhood shyness. At university — she studied education — she met her husband of 40 years, but in three years of seminars she did not say a word. Some of this results from her years at the children’s home. She says, “It gave me a sense of what it’s like to be excluded. I never fitted in anywhere.”
After she graduated, she discovered that she loved working with people with learning disabilities. She became an expert in inclusive education. “That was my niche (称心的职业),” she says. She published books and returned to the University of North London as a senior lecturer in early childhood studies.
Dickins now sees that in adulthood she has been giving herself permission to be silly. “The sillier I allow myself to be, the better the writing is,” she says. Her observations are humorous.
“Putting things into words and giving shape to your emotions is an important part of coming to terms with the things that happen in life,” she says.
Does she still feel like an outsider
“I think I’ve made it into a virtue. I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit into a box. Finally! You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!” she says. “But I have a sense of who I am and I'm proud of it. I wouldn’t be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.”
4. How did Dickins feel about her debut
A. Calm. B. Awkward. C. Stressed. D. Encouraged.
5. What led to Dickins’ lack of a sense of belonging
A. Her immature writing style. B. Her experience at the care home.
C. Her struggle with her university studies. D. Her difficult relationship with her husband.
6. How does writing benefit Dickins
A. It makes her land a good job. B. It sharpens her sense of humor.
C. It enables her to get on well with her life. D. It helps her overcome her learning disabilities.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Mary Dickins’ New Start after 60 B. Mary Dickins’ First Performance
C. Mary Dickins’ Troubled Writing Career D. Mary Dickins’ Impact on Performance Poets
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了Mary Dickins在60岁以后成为一名表演诗人并由此重获新生的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“she said, ‘It was so wild — like nothing I had ever seen before.’(她说：‘那是我从未见过的狂野。’)”和““It felt transformative. I thought, ‘I’ve got to have more of this,’ ” Dickins said. Becoming a performance poet has given her a place on a stage of her own making.(“我觉得这是一种变革。我想，‘我得多点这样的表演，’” Dickins说。成为一名表演诗人让她在自己创造的舞台上占据了一席之地)”可知，Dickins首次作为表演者登台时观众的反应很疯狂，这种体验是她从未经历过的，但她很喜欢，成为表演诗人让Dickins在舞台上有了自己的一席之地。由此推知，当Dickins第一次上台表演诗歌后，观众的反应使她大受鼓舞，故选D。

You have to wait till you’re 62 to feel confident!’ she says. ‘But I have a sense of who I am and I’m proud of it. I wouldn't be anyone else now — and it took me a long time to say that.’(终于！你得等到62岁才会有自信！她说。‘但我知道我是谁，我为此感到自豪。现在的我不会是别人——我花了很长时间才说出这句话。’)”她提到自己通过写作和表演克服害羞、找到自信可知，本文主要讲述了Mary Dickins在60岁以后成为一名表演诗人并由此重获新生的故事。由此可知，A项“Mary Dickins在60岁后的新开始”为最佳标题，故选A。

Anew study reports that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more complicated than we once thought. And it may explain why this annoying insect is so good at seeking you out at a barbecue or in your bedroom and biting you—as well as lead to new strategies to prevent the potentially deadly diseases transmitted by its bite.
Meg Younger, a neuroscientist at Boston University, is co-author of the study. She exhales(呼气)gently into one of the mosquito-filled cages. A waft of carbon dioxide blows across the insects, and they go wild. “And now, they’re looking fora target like the complex mixture of human body smell—a smell that’s attractive to the mosquitoes,” Younger explains.
In many parts of the world, this attraction isn’t merely an annoyance for humans. It’s a major health problem. Mosquitoes transmit diseases to humans. These diseases include dengue, Zika, chikungunya fever and malaria. The last disease alone causes over half a million deaths each year.
So scientists have attempted to break this attraction. But try as they might, the little mosquito has resisted. “They’re really good at what they do,” Younger says. Most of what we know about the neuroscience of smell comes from mice and fruit flies, where the wiring is fairly simple. Each neuron(神经元) in the nose has one kind of receptor(感受器) that detects a single kind of smell—say, a banana. And all the neurons with receptors for the banana smell connect to the same part of the brain. Younger and the others studied mosquito brains, where she found that each neuron has multiple receptors that can detect multiple smells.
This work could give researchers additional ways to battle the insects like developing traps that contain new smell mixtures that are more appealing than people.
“It’s an enormous study,” says Josefina del Marmol, a neurobiologist at the Harvard Medical School. She says there’s more work to be done to check. neuron by neuron, that each one actually responds to all the smells it has receptors for. But regarding the central finding, she says, “It really does change a lot about what we know of how insects perceive the world.”
8. Why does Younger exhale into a mosquito-filled cage
A. To keep targeted mosquitoes alive. B. To confuse the experimented mosquitoes.
C To experiment on mosquitoes’ sense of smell. D. To see if breath contributes to disease transmission.
9. How do mosquitoes differ from fruit flies
A. They have a clearer smell mechanism. B. They have more neurons to detect smells.
C. They have bigger brain parts focusing on smell. D. They have more smell receptors in each neuron.
10. What is the significance of the study
A. It may have found an ideal way to study insects.
B. It inspires new methods to prevent mosquito bites.
C. It proves the previous assumption about mosquitoes.
D. It sheds light on how mosquitoes transmit diseases.
11. What does Josefina del Marmol think of the research finding
A. It is a big step forward. B. It has many weaknesses.
C. It is far from impressive. D. It has a worldwide influence.

“Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the social scale with remarkable regularity,” wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a coat’s journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric. But with the improvement in people’s living standards, that model is mind-boggling in the era of fast fashion. The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival of the second-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers (零售商) want a slice of the action.
For some buyers and sellers, the switch to the second-hand is born of financial difficulties. Only a few have become worried about the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. Some people worry that some mainstream brands may “greenwash” — using second-hand goods to improve their image, rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability.
However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience (愧疚). Boohoo, a powerful fast fashion company, has seen sales and profits rise, despite concerns about environmental problems in its supply chain that led to an investigation last year.
A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us. A love of style is not a bad or an unimportant thing. But a committed relationship is better than a quick flash. Can we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as others’
12. What does the word “mind-boggling” underlined in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Unbelievable. B. Popular. C. Reasonable. D. Influential.
13. With the business mentioned in paragraph 2, the author wants to show _______.
A. old clothes are more popular than new pieces
B. the online second-hand markets are booming
C. the fashion world begins to favor vintage clothes
D. many clothing brands are innovative in their new products
14. How does the second-hand trade impact people according to paragraph 4
A. It makes people feel free to pursue fast fashion.
B. It makes people more cautious about their budgets.
C. It encourages people to choose eco-friendly clothes.
D. It pushes people to be more engaged with sustainability.
15. Which of the following views does Worn Stories advocate
A. Old items have lost favor with the public.
B. Old items are worthy of being long cherished.
C. Older generations attach great importance to old items.
D. Older generations care about the quality of their clothes.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了与从前反复使用衣服的模式不同，现在大家往往追逐快时尚，造成了很大浪费，不过网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展，但只有少部分人是真的认识到了自己的购物习惯对地球的影响，而且一些主流品牌有可能会借此机会来“洗绿”，很多人有可能会继续购买。文章指出，虽然追求风格无可厚非，但是学会欣赏旧衣服实际上是很有意义的。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“as he traced a coat’s journey in the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new fabric (他追溯了一件大衣在上个世纪的历程：反复清洗、修理和转售；缩为成更小件的；最终被回收制成新的织物)”可知，以前的衣服会被反复多次使用，再结合表示转折意义的“But”和划线词的下文“The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year. (英国消费者平均每月购买四件商品。据报道，英国每年有35万吨用过但还能穿的衣服被送往垃圾填埋场)”可知，现在情况和以前不同，衣服更迭速度很快，很多衣服被浪费了。由此可知，以前衣服循环使用的模式在现在快时尚的时代是令人难以置信的，划线词意思应该与unbelievable“令人难以置信的”一致。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“At fashion website Asos, sales of vintage clothes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers (零售商) want a slice of the action. (在时尚网站Asos，古着的销量增长了92%。衣服曾经是出于需要而穿，现在它只是一种生活方式。忙碌的家庭在eBay上出售二手物品，青少年在Depop上交易，一些时尚人士在Vestiaire Collective上出售设计师品牌。引人注目的是，它已经成为一个足够大的业务，主流零售商也想分一杯羹)”可知，网络二手交易销量增长，不同的人群在不同的平台交易二手衣服，主流零售商甚至也想参与其中。由此推知，作者是想说明网上二手市场正在蓬勃发展。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience (愧疚). (然而，最大的担忧可能是，人们继续购买，因为他们知道他们可以转售商品，仍然在追求下一次购买的乐趣，但良心上有所放松)”可知，二手交易业务让人们有了处理已购商品的方法，解除了购买不必要衣服的愧疚感，可以继续购买衣服，即让人们可以自由地追求快时尚。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us. (Netflix的一部新剧《旧衣往事》记录了衣服的情感含义：每一件旧衣服都充满了回忆。其实，祖母送的手提包和父亲送的围巾对我们来说都很有价值)”可知，这部剧表明旧衣服具有情感含义，充满回忆，富有价值。由此推知，它主张的是“旧东西值得长期珍藏”。故选B项。

How to master tricky conversations at work
Many of us struggle to say what we need to at work. Whether it’s asking for a pay rise or facing a co-worker over their behaviour, these conversations can be difficult to have without the other person getting angry. ____16____. Here’s my tips on how to tackle your next difficult conversation.
Plan
First, you need to plan what you’re going to say. ____17____. Write down what you want out of the conversation and be clear on what you want to happen as a result. For example, you may decide: “I want to get an agreement on deadlines for this project and a clear outline of who will be responsible for each task.”
Prepare
The second thing you need to do is write down the key messages you want to get across in the conversation. ____18____. Remember to speak slowly, breathe. If you are particularly nervous, rehearse (排练) what you plan to say in front of a friend so you know you are coming across as you wish to.
Be empathetic
Finally, put yourself in the other person’s shoes — however annoying that person might be. The useless boss who never gives you feedback is simply struggling with her own workload. ____19____, the more we can plan how to work with them towards a successful outcome.
When you have the conversation, don’t get blind-sided by fast talkers. If the person you’re speaking to starts to avoid blame or your questioning, ask them what their part is in all of this and what they can take responsibility for. ____20____. And finally, if you feel under pressure, remember to respond slowly rather than reacting quickly.
A. Practise saying them out loud
B. Start with the end result in mind
C. The language you use is also important
D. The more careful you’re with the language you use
E. The more we can understand the other person’s worldview
F. To manage your emotions during a difficult conversation, breathe deeply
G. But not being able to have “that conversation” can hold you back in your career
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. A 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在工作中掌握棘手的对话的方法。
16题详解】
根据上文“Many of us struggle to say what we need to at work. Whether it’s asking for a pay rise or facing a co-worker over their behaviour, these conversations can be difficult to have without the other person getting angry. (我们中的许多人都很难说出我们在工作中需要什么。无论是要求加薪还是面对同事的行为，这些对话都很难在对方不生气的情况下进行。)”以及后文“Here’s my tips on how to tackle your next difficult conversation. (下面是我的建议，教你如何应对下一次棘手的对话)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出无法进行上文提到的对话，后文给出建议。故G选项“但是不能进行‘那种对话’会阻碍你的职业发展”符合语境，故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“First, you need to plan what you’re going to say. (首先，你需要计划你要说什么)”以及后文“Write down what you want out of the conversation and be clear on what you want to happen as a result. For example, you may decide: “I want to get an agreement on deadlines for this project and a clear outline of who will be responsible for each task.”( 写下你想从谈话中得到什么，并明确你想要的结果。例如，你可能会决定：“我想在这个项目的最后期限上达成一致，并明确规定谁将负责每项任务。”)”可知，后文提到了明确想要的结果，即以结果为出发点。故B选项“以最终结果为出发点”符合语境，故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“The second thing you need to do is write down the key messages you want to get across in the conversation. (你需要做的第二件事是写下你想要在对话中传达的关键信息。)”以及后文“Remember to speak slowly, breathe. If you are particularly nervous, rehearse (排练) what you plan to say in front of a friend so you know you are coming across as you wish to. (记住说慢点，呼吸。如果你特别紧张，那就在朋友面前排练一下你打算说什么，这样你就知道你给人的印象是你想说。)”可知，上文提到了写下信息，可知本句是说接下来要开始练习要说的内容。故A选项“练习大声说出来”符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据后文“the more we can plan how to work with them towards a successful outcome. (我们就越能计划如何与他们一起取得成功。)”可知，后文提到了计划取得成功，说明本句是要互相理解。且E选项中The more与后文the more构成the+比较级，the+比较级句型。故E选项“我们越能理解对方的世界观”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“When you have the conversation, don’t get blind-sided by fast talkers. If the person you’re speaking to starts to avoid blame or your questioning, ask them what their part is in all of this and what they can take responsibility for. (当你和别人交谈时，不要被那些语速很快的人弄得措手不及。如果和你谈话的人开始逃避责备或你的问题，问问他们在这一切中扮演了什么角色，他们可以承担什么责任。)”以及后文“And finally, if you feel under pressure, remember to respond slowly rather than reacting quickly. (最后，如果你感到有压力，记住反应要慢，而不是反应要快。)”可知，上文提到不要被那些语速很快的人弄得措手不及，可知本句是在建议如何应对艰难的谈话。故F选项“在一场艰难的谈话中，要控制自己的情绪，深呼吸”符合语境，故选F。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了明代著名探险家徐霞客的生平和旅行成就。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国有许多著名的探险家。有张骞，他游历中亚，开辟了贸易走廊，使之成为丝绸之路。分析句子结构，此处是非限定性定语从句，先行词为Zhang Qian，指人，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导。故填who。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语，使用非谓语动词，因与其逻辑主语Zhang Qian之间为逻辑主谓关系，应用现在分词。故填opening。
【38题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：然而，这些航行是在政府的指导下进行的，徐霞客则不同。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，且与主语之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词使用were。故填were undertaken。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：徐霞客生于1587年，在一个富有的家庭中长大。然而，他毅然放弃了安逸的生活，选择去探索那个鲜为人知的古代中国世界。分析句子结构，空白处修饰名词life，作定语，应用形容词comfortable“安逸的”。故填comfortable。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：作为最伟大的陆地探险家之一，据说徐霞客一生徒步穿越了中国数千里的山川大地。分析句子结构，be said to do为固定短语，含义为“据说”，符合语境，因动词不定式表示的动作比主句谓语动词表示的动作先发生，应用动词不定式的完成式。故填to have traveled。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：徐霞客的旅行记录和日记中包含了大约404000个汉字，对于他那个时代的一个作家来说是一部巨大的作品。分析句子结构，此处泛指“一部巨大的作品”，应用不定冠词，enormous以元音音素开头，应用an。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：它将地理、植物学和地方历史的细节与明朝旅馆的评价相结合。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语，应用名词detail，可数名词，根据下文“geography, botany and local history(地理、植物学和地方历史)”可知，细节不止一个，应用复数形式，故填details。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：从表面上看，徐的旅行既不能归类为国家大事，也不能归类为改变历史进程的大事。分析句子结构，neither…nor为固定短语，含义为“既不……也不”，符合句意，故填nor。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：徐旅行是为了满足自己的好奇心——他旅行是为了旅行。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语，应用名词curiosity“好奇心”，不可数名词。故填curiosity。
【45题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：也许他最伟大的旅程是他的最后一次旅行。根据上文“Xu Xiake traveled across China for 34 years(徐霞客在中国游历了34年)”可知，此处表达的是徐霞客34年的旅游经历中最伟大的一次旅行，空白处应填形容词最高级。故填greatest。

When Marco was a boy, he tried everything to get his father’s love and attention. He worked hard to earn exceptional marks and always tried to behave well. But he was so sensitive and shy that he always hid behind his hair, which he wore long around his face. To make it worse, Marco was naturally shorter than the other kids. This added to his already low self-confidence.
At 14, he and his younger sister Sandra moved in with their dad and his new wife. His father was busy and their communication was nonexistent. The only time his dad ever spoke to him was to be demanding or critical. He began to fear coming home from school every day, feeling desperately alone and isolated.
One day his father, tripped over Marco’s bike in the garage. The angry reaction left Marco in despair, thus crying out, “That’s it! I’m going to kill myself.”
“You don’t even have the guts!” replied his father.
For two days, all Marco could think of was wanting to die, but he didn’t want to prove his father was right. Angry and sad, Marco was stuck.
Two days later, his aunt called him. This seemed like a miracle. Aunt Ginette usually only called on his birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest and she thought about him. She told him she firmly believed he could perform on stage like those kids, since she had seen him do skits (幽默短剧) for the family at Christmas.
Marco was shocked. Him In a public speaking contest, which was contrary to his shy personality But Aunt Ginette was sure it was something he could do. Feeling her strong belief, Marco agreed.
All that winter, twice a week after dinner, he took three different buses in each direction for the three-hour round-trip to practice in the place where the competition would take place. Marco was taken by a feeling he never felt before. The hours and the obstacles no longer counted. The criticism from his father around his absence for after-dinner chores didn’t matter.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Four months later, the big night arrived. His family members were all in the audience. The nine other contestants were all older than him. Marco was overwhelmed-the whole thing just felt so much bigger than him, and butterflies filled his stomach. But when he stepped onto the stage and began to speak, he felt totally at home, totally at peace, and a kind of bliss stole over him. He was funny, witty and acted extremely natural as he spoke. The audience loved him, offering thunderous applause from time to time! He felt energized and very alive-it felt like a real birth. To his amazement and delight, he won!
With the championship, Marco’s new life started. His long hair was never seen. His self-esteem and self-confidence started to grow. Not only did he regain his hope for life, but he also came to realize he deserved to be happy and respected. Love and attention from his father was solid evidence of that. He even started giving speeches based on his own life to inspire others to be brave and confident. That contest was a truly defining moment in his life. It all happened because of a single phone call, from one single person who simply believed in him. Such confidence in Marco did make a big difference.
