Winning the 2023 Oscar Best Actress Award, Michelle Yeoh becomes the first Asian woman to take home a lead acting statue. She was invited to share some wisdom on the graduation ceremony in American Film Institute.
Michelle Yeoh recalled her early years. She found her gift was to communicate through movement Yeoh trained tirelessly day and night. Dance was her bright future and destined path. Unfortunately, life had other plans. A serious spinal (脊柱的) injury entirely tore her dream, and she was in despair. Yet, her principal encouraged her to stay loose about her future. With this in mind, she captured the freedom to make choices she might not have otherwise been able to. “When the challenge came, I knew it was make or break.” Yeoh said.
Yeoh chose to be a cool stuntman (特技人). “The first thing they taught me was to roll forward, how to fall on my side, and then back.” she recalled. The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated (旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn’t land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.
“There were injuries as you can imagine but with every inch of skin, I came back better and braver. It struck me that learning how to fall teaches you how to land, and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally.” Yeoh added. It was those unbearable pain but desired progress that guided Yeoh to the Oscar stage. “What I want to say is that our falls are the secrets to our flight. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. Don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly.” Yeoh said.
24. What do we know about Michelle Yeoh
A. She was keen on ballet and had a bright future.
B. She was the first Asian to win Oscar Best Actress.
C. She was in despair after a serious injury in her leg.
D. She was giving a speech about her school experience.
25. How did the principal’s encouragement prove beneficial
A. It reminded Michelle Yeoh to stick to her dream and go for it.
B. It advised Michelle Yeoh to accept the reality and let it be.
C. It inspired Michelle Yeoh to be open-minded towards future.
D. It urged Michelle Yeoh to transfer her career from dance to stunt.
26. Why did Michelle Yeoh mention jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass
A. To pave the way for the life lesson she would learn.
B. To stress the importance of mastering the rolling skills.
C. To showcase the barriers she faced when dancing on stage.
D To admit a mistake she made when she was inexperienced.
27. Which of the following statements matches Michelle Yeoh’s spirit the most
A. Do what the clock does. Keep going. B. Believe you can and you’re halfway there.
C. No one can disappoint you except yourself. D. The greatest glory is in rising every time we fall.
C
Uncertainty pops up frequently in conversations. The pandemic, and the growing climate disasters heighten our awareness of our inability to control many current challenges. No wonder we9re invaded by anxiety and isolation. We know there are stress-reduction techniques like yoga and exercise. Another much-overlooked one that restores sense of well-being is poetry.
Poetry reconnects us with the beauty of the world, while also naming its difficulties. Rather than dismissing hardships, poetry reminds us that others have also lost a loved one, experienced disappointments—have suffered as we now suffer. Poetry allows us to identify our personal confusions, breaks our feeling of isolation, and confirms our sense of belonging. Poetry leads us toward wisdom and acceptance.
Science agrees. The Arts & Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University offers convincing evidence that poetry is good for our health. A study from 2013 in Philippines showed that guided poetry writing sessions significantly lessened depression in a group of mistreated adolescents. Written eight hundred years ago, the poem The Guest House invites us to view life’s experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary visitors in the “guest house” of self. With patience and compassion, the author Jalal al-Din Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.
Think of poetry as an entrance to a timeless place where we find comfort, companionship, connection, wisdom, and healing. Poetry names the disconnects as well, where we have gone blind to threats and personal sorrows that threaten to overwhelm us. With its precision of language, and its naming of experience, poetry, in a small space, usually one page, packs a strong hit. Entering a poem, readers can sense painful experiences are re-framed and can be given a new understanding by a poem. That’s because poetry reflects a rich mix of the sweetness and bitterness in life. It refreshes our minds and offers invented landscapes of imagery. For your own peace of mind, I encourage you to take up a friendship with poetry.
28. What does the underlined word “dismiss” probably mean
A. Reflect on. B. Leave behind. C. Get through. D. Suffer from.
29. What does Rumi suggest readers do in The Guest Housel
A. View ourselves as temporary guests. B. Take an active part in experiencing hardships.
C. Ignore negative feelings to avoid sadness. D. Embrace downsides with optimistic attitudes.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Poems make readers turn a blind eye to threats and sorrows.
B. Poems can only have either sweet themes or bitter themes.
C. Poems possess overwhelming power despite limited lines.
D. Poems reshape painful experiences and restrict our minds.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Techniques help reduce stress. B. Poetry facilitates friendship.
C. Hardships benefit our growth. D. Poetry promotes our well-being.
D
When I stepped into my sister’s house, I could feel the tension among the family members. My nephew was complaining that current allowances are insufficient to cover his expenses and questioning why he cannot be trusted. Financial literacy (素养) is a totally new word to his parents and, in their mind, parents are supposed to be extremely tight on kids’ money.
As raised in a traditional way, we are constantly told to spend a fixed amount of money in a particular period, with everything arranged. The lack of financial literacy among teens is mainly due to the fear of losing control, which has overshadowed the importance of introducing genuine ideas that can promote independence and responsibility tied to financial autonomy (自主). This mindset implies that if you just follow the parents plan, seemingly you succeed in managing your money. Still, each year heartbreaking news about college students who are involved in unaffordable debt keep popping up.
Having financial literacy, however, have more benefits than expected. At best, teens with self-discipline would appreciate the trust and make informed financial decisions. Even at worst, the cost of making mistakes in teenage years is relatively low and committing the mistakes honestly may open the door to some constructive feedback and financial tips.
True financial literacy isn’t simply about implementing a strict or loose strategy on spending but teaching teenagers to differentiate between necessity and desire, and making compromises. But managed properly, both bread and Air Jordan shoes can be obtained. With Air Jordan shoes ahead, the difficulty in making and saving money makes us appreciate the value of efforts. Budgeting, planning for your expenses, help you make decisions of consequence and resist temptations.
Once teens demonstrate responsible management of cash-based expenses, it is time to consider upgrading. However, teens may not be fully equipped to travel in the complex financial landscape without adequate supervision and support. After all, financial autonomy comes with responsibilities.
32. What is the function of mentioning the author’s nephew
A. To draw a persuasive conclusion. B. To explain a difficult concept.
C. To give a reasonable prediction. D. To present a convincing example.
33. Why do we need financial literacy
A. It guarantees more control on money by parents.
B. It stresses the necessity of producing genuine ideas.
C. It helps generate independence and responsibilities.
D. It increases the risk of having unaffordable debt.
34. Which pair is similar to bread and Air Jordan shoes
A. Tasty dumplings and cheap stationary. B. Instant noodles and all-star game ticket.
C. Worn-out jeans and plain basketball cap. D. Latest electronic devices and rare goods.
35. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To motivate teens to have financial literacy skills.
B. To tell reasons why teens fail to manage their finance.
C. To teach teens how to spend money reasonably and wisely.
D. To analyze the pros and cons of having financial autonomy.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____36____
Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____37____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality.
When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says ifs difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____38____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____39____
____40____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable.
A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it.
B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps.
C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out.
D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort.
E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now.
F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement.
G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals.

“Yes, I want you to know that I’m grown-up now! Mom, I’m fifteen! I know what’s good for me and what’s not! Tara is just a year older than I am but she does what she likes in her home! But here I am, at my age, being asked of where I have been and am going, whom I am hanging out with and all those! Mom, you know what I’m tired of all these!” Daniela said.
“Don’t be childish, Daniela!” Mom advised, wanting to take hold of her shoulders. “Tara isn’t my daughter and my daughter isn’t Tara! I want you to understand that her family and ours are quite different in all areas. I don’t want to draw any comparison between us now! You’ve always been a good girl, Daniela! Why this sudden change of character in the last few days !” “Mom, if you really care to know, that’s none of your business! Feel free to let dad know what took place when he comes back from work! Bye!” Daniela angrily replied to her and rushed out directly to her uncle’s home.

Winning the 2023 Oscar Best Actress Award, Michelle Yeoh becomes the first Asian woman to take home a lead acting statue. She was invited to share some wisdom on the graduation ceremony in American Film Institute.
Michelle Yeoh recalled her early years. She found her gift was to communicate through movement Yeoh trained tirelessly day and night. Dance was her bright future and destined path. Unfortunately, life had other plans. A serious spinal (脊柱的) injury entirely tore her dream, and she was in despair. Yet, her principal encouraged her to stay loose about her future. With this in mind, she captured the freedom to make choices she might not have otherwise been able to. “When the challenge came, I knew it was make or break.” Yeoh said.
Yeoh chose to be a cool stuntman (特技人). “The first thing they taught me was to roll forward, how to fall on my side, and then back.” she recalled. The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated (旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn’t land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said.
“There were injuries as you can imagine but with every inch of skin, I came back better and braver. It struck me that learning how to fall teaches you how to land, and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally.” Yeoh added. It was those unbearable pain but desired progress that guided Yeoh to the Oscar stage. “What I want to say is that our falls are the secrets to our flight. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. Don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly.” Yeoh said.

D. It urged Michelle Yeoh to transfer her career from dance to stunt.

A. To pave the way for the life lesson she would learn.
B. To stress the importance of mastering the rolling skills.
C. To showcase the barriers she faced when dancing on stage.

Uncertainty pops up frequently in conversations. The pandemic, and the growing climate disasters heighten our awareness of our inability to control many current challenges. No wonder we9re invaded by anxiety and isolation. We know there are stress-reduction techniques like yoga and exercise. Another much-overlooked one that restores sense of well-being is poetry.
Poetry reconnects us with the beauty of the world, while also naming its difficulties. Rather than dismissing hardships, poetry reminds us that others have also lost a loved one, experienced disappointments—have suffered as we now suffer. Poetry allows us to identify our personal confusions, breaks our feeling of isolation, and confirms our sense of belonging. Poetry leads us toward wisdom and acceptance.
Science agrees. The Arts & Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University offers convincing evidence that poetry is good for our health. A study from 2013 in Philippines showed that guided poetry writing sessions significantly lessened depression in a group of mistreated adolescents. Written eight hundred years ago, the poem The Guest House invites us to view life’s experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary visitors in the “guest house” of self. With patience and compassion, the author Jalal al-Din Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.
Think of poetry as an entrance to a timeless place where we find comfort, companionship, connection, wisdom, and healing. Poetry names the disconnects as well, where we have gone blind to threats and personal sorrows that threaten to overwhelm us. With its precision of language, and its naming of experience, poetry, in a small space, usually one page, packs a strong hit. Entering a poem, readers can sense painful experiences are re-framed and can be given a new understanding by a poem. That’s because poetry reflects a rich mix of the sweetness and bitterness in life. It refreshes our minds and offers invented landscapes of imagery. For your own peace of mind, I encourage you to take up a friendship with poetry.
28. What does the underlined word “dismiss” probably mean
A. Reflect on. B. Leave behind. C. Get through. D. Suffer from.
29. What does Rumi suggest readers do in The Guest Housel
A. View ourselves as temporary guests. B. Take an active part in experiencing hardships.
C. Ignore negative feelings to avoid sadness. D. Embrace downsides with optimistic attitudes.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Poems make readers turn a blind eye to threats and sorrows.
B. Poems can only have either sweet themes or bitter themes.
C. Poems possess overwhelming power despite limited lines.
D. Poems reshape painful experiences and restrict our minds.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Techniques help reduce stress. B. Poetry facilitates friendship.
C. Hardships benefit our growth. D. Poetry promotes our well-being.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了诗歌有治愈的力量，可以让我们找到安慰、陪伴、联系、智慧和治愈。

29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“With patience and compassion, the author Jalal al-Din Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.(作者Jalal al-Din Rumi以耐心和同情心建议我们认识到，即使是负面情绪也是我们成长的宝贵经历，具有指导意义)”可知，Rumi建议要用乐观的态度拥抱负面的事物。故选D。

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Another much-overlooked one that restores sense of well-being is poetry.(另一个被忽视的恢复幸福感的方法是诗歌)”结合文章主要介绍了诗歌有治愈的力量，可以让我们找到安慰、陪伴、联系、智慧和治愈。可知，D选项“诗歌提升我们的幸福感”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
When I stepped into my sister’s house, I could feel the tension among the family members. My nephew was complaining that current allowances are insufficient to cover his expenses and questioning why he cannot be trusted. Financial literacy (素养) is a totally new word to his parents and, in their mind, parents are supposed to be extremely tight on kids’ money.
As raised in a traditional way, we are constantly told to spend a fixed amount of money in a particular period, with everything arranged. The lack of financial literacy among teens is mainly due to the fear of losing control, which has overshadowed the importance of introducing genuine ideas that can promote independence and responsibility tied to financial autonomy (自主). This mindset implies that if you just follow the parents plan, seemingly you succeed in managing your money. Still, each year heartbreaking news about college students who are involved in unaffordable debt keep popping up.
Having financial literacy, however, have more benefits than expected. At best, teens with self-discipline would appreciate the trust and make informed financial decisions. Even at worst, the cost of making mistakes in teenage years is relatively low and committing the mistakes honestly may open the door to some constructive feedback and financial tips.
True financial literacy isn’t simply about implementing a strict or loose strategy on spending but teaching teenagers to differentiate between necessity and desire, and making compromises. But managed properly, both bread and Air Jordan shoes can be obtained. With Air Jordan shoes ahead, the difficulty in making and saving money makes us appreciate the value of efforts. Budgeting, planning for your expenses, help you make decisions of consequence and resist temptations.
Once teens demonstrate responsible management of cash-based expenses, it is time to consider upgrading. However, teens may not be fully equipped to travel in the complex financial landscape without adequate supervision and support. After all, financial autonomy comes with responsibilities.
32. What is the function of mentioning the author’s nephew
A. To draw a persuasive conclusion. B. To explain a difficult concept.
C. To give a reasonable prediction. D. To present a convincing example.
33. Why do we need financial literacy
A. It guarantees more control on money by parents.
B. It stresses the necessity of producing genuine ideas.
C. It helps generate independence and responsibilities.
D. It increases the risk of having unaffordable debt.
34. Which pair is similar to bread and Air Jordan shoes
A. Tasty dumplings and cheap stationary. B. Instant noodles and all-star game ticket.
C. Worn-out jeans and plain basketball cap. D. Latest electronic devices and rare goods.
35. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To motivate teens to have financial literacy skills.
B. To tell reasons why teens fail to manage their finance.
C. To teach teens how to spend money reasonably and wisely.
D To analyze the pros and cons of having financial autonomy.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____36____
Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____37____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality.
When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says ifs difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____38____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____39____
____40____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable.
A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it.
B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps.
C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out.
D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort.
E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now.
F. Don’t be afraid of frustration since it is necessary for your improvement.
G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals.

But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future.(我们中的一些人比其他人拥有更多。研究表明，自控能力强的人往往更快乐。但问题是，我们通常只在未来得到奖励)”可知，上文提到了我们只在未来得到奖励，可知本句是在说明我们因为延迟满足而在权衡自控，故E选项“因此，我们一直在权衡是等待还是现在就拥有它”符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it.(他说，具有讽刺意味的是，那些真正擅长自我控制的人并不需要练习自我控制)”以及后文“When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it.(当你喜欢并渴望一些对你更好的事情时，比如学习、努力工作或锻炼，你不必考虑去做)”可知，上文提到了那些真正擅长自我控制的人并不需要练习自我控制，故本句承接上文进一步说明这类人的特点。故D选项“他们可以毫不费力地一直保持好习惯”符合语境，故选D。
【38题详解】
上文“When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says ifs difficult to change the personality that you’re born with.(说到提高自我控制能力，Inzlicht说，很难改变你与生俱来的性格)”说明这些人有自我控制的特质，选项A“但这并不意味着你对此无能为力”承接上文，转折语义，说明即便你不具备这种性格，也不是没有办法，引出下文“A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop.(大量的研究表明，你可以提高你想要改变的特定行为或你想要养成的习惯的自制力)”说明你也可以提高自己的自我控制能力。故选A。
【39题详解】
上文“Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come.(有些健身房会向你收取一年的会员费，然后每次你来都会给你几分钱)”说明有些健身房会用给几分钱的方式吸引你去锻炼，选项C“即使是少量的钱也能激励人们去锻炼。”承接上文，这样做也能激励人们去锻炼。选项中Even a small amount of money和上文中a few cents语义相关，故选C。
【40题详解】
根据后文“Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight.(发展自我控制失败的部分原因是对自己没有在一夜之间改变而感到沮丧)”可知，后文提到了可能会因为急于求成导致失败而阻碍自我控制的发展，所以建议要循序渐进才能成功。选项B“Inzlicht说，成功的另一个秘诀是循序渐进”符合语境。故选B。

“Daniela, what has come over you !” Frances questioned angrily at her daughter’s strange behavior. “I’m surprised at what you’ve just told me! Let me know who is the force behind this silly attitude of yours. Your friends with bad habits I guess it may be! Your dad and I, my sweetheart, have always wanted the best for you but here you’re trying to tell me how grown you are!”
“Yes, I want you to know that I’m grown-up now! Mom, I’m fifteen! I know what’s good for me and what’s not! Tara is just a year older than I am but she does what she likes in her home! But here I am, at my age, being asked of where I have been and am going, whom I am hanging out with and all those! Mom, you know what I’m tired of all these!” Daniela said.
“Don’t be childish, Daniela!” Mom advised, wanting to take hold of her shoulders. “Tara isn’t my daughter and my daughter isn’t Tara! I want you to understand that her family and ours are quite different in all areas. I don’t want to draw any comparison between us now! You’ve always been a good girl, Daniela! Why this sudden change of character in the last few days !” “Mom, if you really care to know, that’s none of your business! Feel free to let dad know what took place when he comes back from work! Bye!” Daniela angrily replied to her and rushed out directly to her uncle’s home.

Daniela interrupted, “They still see me as a baby! They’re too old-fashioned!” “Ok,” her uncle agreed, but asked her to rethink, “You’d better ask them why they’re always on your neck, and you will see they really give you the best.”
Hearing her uncle’s words, Daniela fell into deep thought. She went back home with her uncle company. Her parents waited at the door anxiously. Her father said, “I always lacked my parents’ love. So we tried our best to love you, instructing you to read books and monitoring your circle of friends, because these may decide your future life. But we failed to consider your feeling. Sorry, my daughter! Please understand us!” Touched by these words, Daniela hugged her parents and promised she would be the good girl they wanted her to be.
