My eighteen-year-old daughter Julia called twenty minutes after she left, saying she had an accident. I grabbed my shoes and was in the car in less than a minute. When I finally saw her, I hugged her tightly. Then I looked at the other driver. Learning that he fell asleep behind the wheel at about seventy miles an hour when the speed limit was forty-five, I could have choked him.
“It could have been worse,” I reminded myself as she cried all the way to the doctor’s office. Luckily, four days after the accident, Julia felt better. At her appointment, her doctor cleared her to resume normal activities, including driving. But I could tell by her look that she had no intention of getting behind the wheel.
Later that day, I sat with Julia as she spoke on the phone with our insurance agent. On the phone, she was professional, telling the agent what had happened in a clear, brief way. I realized she sounded like an adult. And adults drive cars. I realized that no matter how I felt about it, allowing Julia to give in to her fear wasn’t good for her. When she hung up, I hugged her. “You’re stronger than you think,” I said. “And tomorrow you’re going to drive my car and meet your friends for lunch. You just have to push through the fear and do it, and it will get easier each time you do.” I ignored the fear in her eyes and the way my heart sped up when I thought about Julia behind the wheel again.
The next day, Julia drove my car to meet her friends. As I watched her leave, I felt nervous and proud. She texted me when she got to the restaurant, and I felt my heart rate return to normal. The tears I’d been holding back all week flooded my eyes. Watching her leave the house without me for the first time since the accident was frightening, but it was also necessary.
4. What was the author’s reaction to the driver’s behavior
A. She almost burst with anger. B. She felt guilty for her daughter.
C. She felt sympathy for him. D. She was choked with sorrow.
5. What did the doctor suggest to Julia
A. Staying away from driving. B. Attending a driving lesson.
C. Contacting the insurance agent. D. Retaking her routine activities.
6. What did the author realize when Julia spoke on the phone
A. The driver took the blame for the accident.
B. The accident had been worse than expected.
C. Julia should overcome the fear to drive.
D. Julia was smart to deal with any trouble.
7. Why did the author cry at Julia’s text
A. Julia was good at learning to drive.
B. Julia recovered mentally and physically.
C. Julia had supportive friends and parents.

【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B

推理判断题。根据最后一段的后四句“As I watched her leave, I felt nervous and proud. She texted me when she got to the restaurant, and I felt my heart rate return to normal. The tears I’d been holding back all week flooded my eyes. Watching her leave the house without me for the first time since the accident was frightening, but it was also necessary.(当我看着她离开时，我感到既紧张又自豪。她一到餐厅就给我发短信，我觉得我的心率恢复了正常。我压抑了整整一个星期的泪水涌上了我的眼睛。看着她在事故发生后第一次独自离开家，我感到很害怕，但这也是必要的。 )”可知，作者收到茱莉亚安全到达的的信息后哭了，是因为茱莉亚在车祸后，她的精神和身体都恢复了。故选B项。
C
There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble in the World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too — that’s why it made Nov.16 “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s folly — that is the first law of nature.
Nobody’s perfect; when we’re tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason why we should be tolerant.
It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “All you got to do: give a little.” Or, as this older piece of wisdom says: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”
8. According to Voltaire, tolerance is _________.
A. being willing to express your love to others
B. trying to overcome your imperfections
C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups
D. accepting each other’s weaknesses
9. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”
A. Humans are advised to treat others better.
B. Humans learned to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others.
D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
10. The underlined word ”this“ in the last paragraph refers to _________.
A. giving things to others
B. forgiving others
C. different attitudes toward love and hate
D. the fact that humans are imperfect
11. What’s the text mainly about
A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.
B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.
C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley’s song.
D. Effective ways to show tolerance.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了联合国将11月16日定为“国际宽容日”，其目的是为了唤起人们对宽容的意识，此外文章着重介绍了宽容的意义和重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to him, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s folly—that is the first law of nature.(在他看来，宽容是人性的结果。我们都是由脆弱和错误组成的；让我们彼此原谅的愚蠢——这是自然的第一法则。)”可知，伏尔泰认为宽容是接受对方的弱点，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.(这有点像慷慨。我们可以给别人东西，我们也可以给予我们的宽恕。)”可知，宽容类似于慷慨，这是因为对别人宽容，意味着我们给予别人宽容，这就像对别人慷慨一样，我们需要给别人一些东西，故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由最后一段“It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Bob Marley understood this. (这有点像慷慨。我们可以给别人东西，我们也可以给予我们对别人的宽恕。鲍勃·马利理解这一点)”可以判断出，this指代的是“forgiving others”。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据倒数第二段“Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant.(尽管如此，伏尔泰的话仍然站得住脚：我们人类并不完美，这个弱点是我们共有的。这就是我们应该宽容的原因。)”可知，文章主要介绍了宽容的意义和重要性，故选B。
D
A new study found that 15-year-olds told more coherent (连贯的) stories about turning points in their lives if their mothers had been taught the new conversational techniques 14 years earlier. These adolescents also reported fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety compared to adolescents in the study whose mothers had talked with their toddlers (初学走路的孩子) as usual.
In the research,115 mothers of toddlers were assigned to either a control group without any training or an experimental group given training in elaborative reminiscine (详尽回忆) for a year. The training involves open and responsive conversations with young children about every day past events.
Project lead Professor Elaine Reese says adolescents whose mothers had participated in the earlier coaching sessions narrated difficult events from their lives — such as parental divorce or cyber-bullying with more insight into how the experience had shaped as people.
Professor Reese says, “Our findings suggest parents’ sharing memories early in children’s lives can have long-lasting benefits, both for the way adolescents process and talk about difficult life events and for their well-being. For example, it helps children develop more complete, specific, and accurate memories of their experiences, providing a richer store of memories to use when telling their own stories. It also teaches children how to have open discussions about past feelings when they’re no longer in the heat of the moment.”
Professor Reese hopes parents and policy makers realize the importance of early childhood as the ideal time for starting to have positive conversations with children, and to know that these conversations can make a difference as children grow older. “The ultimate goal is to encourage parents to have more sensitive and responsive conversations about events in their children’s lives.”
The researchers intend to continue the study, following up with participants in emerging adulthood to determine any ongoing effects of their theirs mother’s elaborative reminiscine.
12. According to the text, all mothers involved in the research ________.
A. were trained how to talk with kids for a year
B. had children who were about one year old
C. took part in the follow-up research annually
D. had experienced some difficult events in life
13. What does the research indicate
A. Coaching sessions with parents benefit toddlers.
B. Parents need to learn new conversational techniques.
C. Parents’ elaborative reminiscing can fight depression.
D. Sharing memories sets kids on path to better well-being.
14. Why could adolescents in the experimental group narrate their life events better
A. They went through more turning points in life.
B. They had a richer store of memories to refer to.
C. They could well remember what happened in life.
D. They had better language skills to describe events.
15. What’s researchers’ attitude to the impacts of elaborative reminiscing on adults
A. Uncertain. B. Favorable. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过对115名幼儿母亲进行分组实验，得出在幼儿时期通过分享详尽回忆对于青少年处理和谈论困难生活事件的方式以及他们的幸福都有长期的好处。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A new study found that 15-year-olds told more coherent (连贯的) stories about turning points in their lives if their mothers had been taught the new conversational techniques 14 years earlier.(一项新的研究发现，如果他们的母亲在14年前学习了新的会话技巧，那么15岁的孩子会更连贯的讲述关于他们生活中的转折点的故事)”可知，如果母亲在孩子一岁左右的时候学习新会话技巧，那么孩子15岁的时候表达会更连贯；根据文章第二段“In the research,115 mothers of toddlers were assigned to either a control group without any training or an experimental group given training in elaborative reminiscine (详尽回忆) for a year.(在这项研究中，115名幼儿的母亲被分配到一个没经任何训练的对照组或者一个给予详尽回忆训练的实验组)”可知，这115名都是幼儿的母亲，结合实验的结论，即前面所表达的如果母亲在孩子一岁左右的时候学习新会话技巧，那么孩子15岁的时候表达会更连贯。由此推知，所有参与研究的母亲的孩子都在一岁左右。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Professor Reese says, “Our findings suggest parents’ sharing memories early in children’s lives can have long-lasting benefits, both for the way adolescents process and talk about difficult life events and for their well-being. For example, it helps children develop more complete, specific, and accurate memories of their experiences, providing a richer store of memories to use when telling their own stories. It also teaches children how to have open discussions about past feelings when they’re no longer in the heat of the moment.”(Reese教授说：“我们的研究结果表明，父母在孩子生命早期分享记忆对青少年处理和谈论困难生活事件的方式以及他们的幸福都有长期的好处。例如，它可以帮助孩子对他们的经历形成更完整、更具体、更准确的记忆，提供更丰富的记忆库，以便在讲述自己的故事时使用。 它还教孩子们如何在他们不再处于情绪激动时就过去的感受进行公开讨论。”)”可知，在孩子小时候分享回忆对他们处理和谈论困难生活事件的方式以及他们的幸福都有长期的好处，即对父母进行分享回忆的课程训练对孩子来说是非常有益的。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For example, it helps children develop more complete, specific, and accurate memories of their experiences, providing a richer store of memories to use when telling their own stories.(例如，它可以帮助孩子对他们的经历形成更完整、更具体、更准确的记忆，提供更丰富的记忆库，以便在讲述自己的故事时使用)”可知，父母对幼儿分享回忆可以帮助孩子对他们的经历形成更完整、更具体、更准确的记忆，提供更丰富的记忆库以供讲述自己故事时使用，即他们有更丰富的记忆存储可供参考。故选B项。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers intend to continue the study, following up with participants in emerging adulthood to determine any ongoing effects of their theirs mother’s elaborative reminiscine.(研究人员打算继续这项研究，跟进刚步入成年期的参与者，以确定他们母亲精心回忆的任何持续影响)”可推知，研究人员对详尽回忆对成年人的影响是不确定的，所以才会打算继续研究。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述汤姆偏爱计算机科学，所以他的大部分时间都用来在互联网上搜索信息，父母担心他这样会影响他的健康。随后，在父母的的陪同下，汤姆去找心理医生寻求建议。之后汤姆的情况得到了改善，这让他的父母放心了很多。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：汤姆偏爱计算机科学，他每天的大部分时间都用来在互联网上搜索信息。结合空前冠词a可知，此处要用单数可数名词。preference“偏好；偏爱”为名词，短语：have a preference for“偏爱……”，故填preference。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在他父母看来，坐在电脑前对他儿子的健康没有好处，他应该在精神上和身体上重视他的健康。空处在句中为表语，所以此处用形容词。beneficial“有好处的”为形容词，符合题意，故填beneficial。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。短语：play emphasis on“重视，强调”，结合句中提示，故填emphasis。
【39题详解】
考查动名词。句意：然而，建议汤姆少上网是没有用的，因为他不听。固定句式：It is/was no use doing sth.“做某事没有用。”动名词短语为真正的主语，it为形式主语，结合句中提示，所以此处用advising。故填advising。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：渐渐地，汤姆对除了电脑以外的一切都失去了兴趣。他的母亲试图说服他改变工作，但汤姆坚持说，他之所以选择这种生活方式，是因为这是他的职业所要求的。分析可知， 5 he chose this living method 为定语从句，先行词为reason，在定语从句中原因状语，所以空处用关系副词why。故填why。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：同上。根据空前his，可知此处用名词作主语。occupation“职业”为名词，根据前面was，所以此处用单数。故填occupation。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，他反对这种生活方式。根据前文“Tom insisted that ...”及后文“he was 8 (oppose)to it.”可知，空处前后为转折关系，所以此处用副词however，因处于句首，所以首字母要大写。故填However。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：同上。短语：be opposed to “反对”，故填opposed。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：在父母的陪同下，汤姆去找心理医生寻求建议。分析可知，逗号前的内容在句中作状语，动词accompany与主语Tom为动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词。处于句首，所以首字母要大写。故填Accompanied。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：汤姆的情况得到了改善，这让他的父母放心了很多。分析可知，逗号的句子为非限制性定语从句，空处作定语从句的主语，指代整个主句，所以用关系代词which，故填which。

One Friday afternoon, some of my classmates planned to take a hike in a jungle (丛林), including my friends Jake and Liam. They asked me if I would like to go with them. I love outdoor activities, so I immediately agreed.
It was sunny the following morning. I was in a very good mood. I was so excited about hiking since it was the first time that I had hiked with them. I ate a light breakfast. After that, I hurriedly ran out of my house to meet them in the school playground.
The jungle where we were going was far from our school. Its name is Salymbia Jungle. It took about three hours to go there by bus, but it wasn’t a boring journey as we were all eager to hike. After we got off the bus, we found a local guide to ensure our safety. The guide, whose name is Thomas, said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times and that he was familiar with the route. When we arrived, Thomas told us never to leave the group. He warned us that we would easily get lost in the jungle if we walked alone. Then we began to hike.
There were various plants which we had never seen before. All of us were amazed at the beauty of the scenery and the sounds of the creatures. Sadly, after hiking for about an hour, I found that my watch on my wrist was gone. I realised that my watch had fallen off. It was a gift from my grandma, and I loved it very much. Without thinking, I turned back and tried to find my watch. Since I was the last one walking in the group, nobody noticed it when I walked away.
I wasn’t worried about getting lost because I thought I could find my watch easily. However, when I finally found my watch and tried to catch up with my friends, they had gone far. I immediately realised that I was alone and lost.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The sky started to become dark and I was very worried. I didn’t know what to do. I called out to my friends, but there was no reply. I tried to look for a way but none of the scenes seemed familiar. I walked for a few more minutes and I got tired and hungry. I felt frightened. Finally, I gave up and took a rest. As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice. It was unbelievable, and then I heard someone else. I screamed, “Help!”
Fortunately, they found me with great effort. My friends Jake and Liam told the guide that they found I was lost, and finally some rescuers were called to help. They led me back to the bus. Seeing me, my friends told me they were really worried. I apologized to them for leaving the group without telling them. Instead of feeling angry with me, they comforted me and helped me calm down to learn a good lesson from it. And I truly learned a good lesson from it—never leave your group members when you’re in a new place.

My eighteen-year-old daughter Julia called twenty minutes after she left, saying she had an accident. I grabbed my shoes and was in the car in less than a minute. When I finally saw her, I hugged her tightly. Then I looked at the other driver. Learning that he fell asleep behind the wheel at about seventy miles an hour when the speed limit was forty-five, I could have choked him.
“It could have been worse,” I reminded myself as she cried all the way to the doctor’s office. Luckily, four days after the accident, Julia felt better. At her appointment, her doctor cleared her to resume normal activities, including driving. But I could tell by her look that she had no intention of getting behind the wheel.
Later that day, I sat with Julia as she spoke on the phone with our insurance agent. On the phone, she was professional, telling the agent what had happened in a clear, brief way. I realized she sounded like an adult. And adults drive cars. I realized that no matter how I felt about it, allowing Julia to give in to her fear wasn’t good for her. When she hung up, I hugged her. “You’re stronger than you think,” I said. “And tomorrow you’re going to drive my car and meet your friends for lunch. You just have to push through the fear and do it, and it will get easier each time you do.” I ignored the fear in her eyes and the way my heart sped up when I thought about Julia behind the wheel again.
The next day, Julia drove my car to meet her friends. As I watched her leave, I felt nervous and proud. She texted me when she got to the restaurant, and I felt my heart rate return to normal. The tears I’d been holding back all week flooded my eyes. Watching her leave the house without me for the first time since the accident was frightening, but it was also necessary.
4. What was the author’s reaction to the driver’s behavior

C. She felt sympathy for him. D. She was choked with sorrow.
5 What did the doctor suggest to Julia

D. Julia was smart to deal with any trouble.
7. Why did the author cry at Julia’s text

B. Julia recovered mentally and physically.
C. Julia had supportive friends and parents.
D. Julia could look after herself when driving.
C
There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble in the World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too — that’s why it made Nov.16 “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s folly — that is the first law of nature.
Nobody’s perfect; when we’re tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason why we should be tolerant.
It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “All you got to do: give a little.” Or, as this older piece of wisdom says: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”
8. According to Voltaire, tolerance is _________.
A. being willing to express your love to others
B. trying to overcome your imperfections
C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups
D. accepting each other’s weaknesses
9. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”
A. Humans are advised to treat others better.
B. Humans learned to find faults in others.
C Humans need to give something to others.
D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
10. The underlined word ”this“ in the last paragraph refers to _________.
A. giving things to others
B. forgiving others
C. different attitudes toward love and hate
D. the fact that humans are imperfect
11. What’s the text mainly about
A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.
B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.
C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley’s song.
D. Effective ways to show tolerance.
D
A new study found that 15-year-olds told more coherent (连贯的) stories about turning points in their lives if their mothers had been taught the new conversational techniques 14 years earlier. These adolescents also reported fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety compared to adolescents in the study whose mothers had talked with their toddlers (初学走路的孩子) as usual.
In the research,115 mothers of toddlers were assigned to either a control group without any training or an experimental group given training in elaborative reminiscine (详尽回忆) for a year. The training involves open and responsive conversations with young children about every day past events.
Project lead Professor Elaine Reese says adolescents whose mothers had participated in the earlier coaching sessions narrated difficult events from their lives — such as parental divorce or cyber-bullying with more insight into how the experience had shaped as people.
Professor Reese says, “Our findings suggest parents’ sharing memories early in children’s lives can have long-lasting benefits, both for the way adolescents process and talk about difficult life events and for their well-being. For example, it helps children develop more complete, specific, and accurate memories of their experiences, providing a richer store of memories to use when telling their own stories. It also teaches children how to have open discussions about past feelings when they’re no longer in the heat of the moment.”
Professor Reese hopes parents and policy makers realize the importance of early childhood as the ideal time for starting to have positive conversations with children, and to know that these conversations can make a difference as children grow older. “The ultimate goal is to encourage parents to have more sensitive and responsive conversations about events in their children’s lives.”
The researchers intend to continue the study, following up with participants in emerging adulthood to determine any ongoing effects of their theirs mother’s elaborative reminiscine.
12. According to the text, all mothers involved in the research ________.
A. were trained how to talk with kids for a year
B. had children who were about one year old
C. took part in the follow-up research annually
D. had experienced some difficult events in life
13. What does the research indicate
A. Coaching sessions with parents benefit toddlers.
B. Parents need to learn new conversational techniques.
C. Parents’ elaborative reminiscing can fight depression.
D. Sharing memories sets kids on path to better well-being.
14. Why could adolescents in the experimental group narrate their life events better
A. They went through more turning points in life.
B. They had a richer store of memories to refer to.
C. They could well remember what happened in life.
D. They had better language skills to describe events.
15. What’s researchers’ attitude to the impacts of elaborative reminiscing on adults
A. Uncertain. B. Favorable. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.
