B
One summer night, a boy felt himself lifted from bed by his father. Dazed with sleep, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it ” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep.
Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. This art of adding dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played creditably. “How long have you been interested in golf ” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said. “Your father gave you a set of clubs ” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.”
I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.”
The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes, which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation. But why don’t we work harder at it Probably because sometimes we don’t have the awareness or the selflessness or the energy. And yet, for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there but the opportunities also come repeatedly. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven.
24．What do the underlined words “adding dimensions to” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Setting an example for. B．Broadening the horizons of.
C．Providing attentive care for. D．Narrowing the possibilities of.
25．Why does the author mention the girl in Paragraph 2
A．To show parental impact on children’s passion.
B．To suggest hobbies always start from the small.
C．To highlight the importance of diverse experiences.
D．To prove true passion usually arises from the reward.
26．What will the author’s psychiatrist friend agree with
A．One’s personality is related to childhood experiences.
B．Childhood experience determines adult happiness.
C．Parenting styles requires professional guidance.
D．Stability in upbringing builds confidence.
27．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The author is always addicted to shooting stars.
B．It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to motivate kids.
C．The author will go to see shooting stars with his son.
D．It is impossible to unlock kids’ potential without eagerness.
【答案】24．B 25．A 26．A 27．C
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过对自身和他人的经历的描述表明，父母应该尽力为孩子打开新世界的大门，建立渴望和外向的态度，这是我们可以传递给下一代的最宝贵的遗产。
24．词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句话“Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. (像我父亲这样的一些父母有为孩子敞开大门的天赋)”以及划线短语后面的句子“the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day(当火花爆发成火焰的奇妙时刻，总有一天会自行燃烧)”可知，有些父母在生活中有一种天赋，就是为孩子们敞开大门，开阔他们的视野。给孩子开阔视野就像一簇火花，在将来总有一天会爆发成火焰。所以划线短语的意思为“开阔视野”。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“This art of adding dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day.(这种拓宽孩子视野的艺术带来了回报：火花迸发成火焰的奇妙时刻，有一天它会自己燃烧得很明亮。)”可知，作者在第二段提到这个女孩是为了展示父母对孩子激情的影响。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的“Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.(告诉我你的童年，我可以告诉你你可能属于哪一种类型。)”可知，作者的精神病医生朋友认为一个人的性格与童年经历有关。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据第一段“One summer night, a boy felt himself lifted from bed by his father. Dazed with sleep, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it ” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep.(一个夏天的夜晚，一个男孩感到自己被父亲从床上抱起来。他睡眼惺忪，看见星星在天空闪烁。“什么事？”孩子低声说。“流星。他们每年八月都来。”几十年过去了，但我仍然记得那个夜晚，因为我是一个幸运的男孩，因为我的父亲相信新的经历比一夜不眠更重要。)”和最后一段最后两句“Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven.(从那晚起，许多年过去了。明年，当八月伴随着流星到来的时候，我儿子就七岁了。)”可知，作者将和儿子一起看流星。故选C。
C
Scientists have been experimenting with playing sounds to plants since at least the 1960s, during which time they have been exposed to everything from Beethoven to Michael Jackson. Over the years, evidence that this sort of thing can have an effect has been growing. One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an Asian shrub known as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when exposed to 56 days of Buddhist music — but not if it was exposed to Western pop music or silence. Another, published last year, found that marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered growth difficulty.
Plants have been evolving (进化) alongside the insects that eat them for hundreds of millions of years. With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a botanist now at the University of Houston, and Reginald Cocroft, a biologist at the University of Missouri, wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by the animals with which they most often interact. They recorded the vibrations made by certain species of caterpillars (毛毛虫) as they chewed on leaves. These vibrations are not powerful enough to produce sound waves in the air. But they are able to travel across leaves and branches, and even to neighbouring plants if their leaves touch.
They then exposed tobacco plant — the plant biologist’s version of the laboratory mouse — to the recorded vibrations while no caterpillars were actually present. Later, they put real caterpillars on the plants to see if exposure had led them to prepare for an insect attack. The results were striking. Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. Leaves that had not been exposed to vibrations showed no such response. Other sorts of vibration — caused by the wind, for instance, or other insects that do not eat leaves — had no effect.
“Now speakers with the right audio files are more often being used to warn crops to act when insects are detected but not yet widespread,” says Dr. Cocroft. “Unlike chemical pesticides, sound waves leave no dangerous chemicals.”
28．What can we learn about plants from the first paragraph
A．They may enjoy Western music. B．They can’t stand Buddhist music.
C．They can react to different sounds. D．They can make different sounds.
29．What’s the basis for Appel and Cocroft’s research
A．Plants can make a cry for help. B．Plants evolve alongside insects.
C．Plants are sensitive to the sounds. D．Plants have been studied for years.
30．What can we infer about plants from Paragraph 3
A．They can recognize harmful vibrations. B．They look like laboratory mice.
C．They can threaten the caterpillars. D．They can release poisonous chemicals.
31．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Disadvantages of chemical pesticides. B．Application of the experimental results.
C．Interaction between plants and insects. D．Warning system of widespread insects.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．A 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们对植物对声音的感知和反应一直在进行研究，近期的研究显示植物可以对不同的声音做出反应，识别出有害的振动，产生更高水平的防御性化学物质。基于该研究结果，科学家们认为声波可以作为一种无污染的替代方法来保护农作物免受昆虫的侵袭。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an Asian shrub known as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when exposed to 56 days of Buddhist music — but not if it was exposed to Western pop music or silence. Another, published last year, found that marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered growth difficulty. (2018年发表的一篇论文声称，一种被称为舞草的亚洲灌木在暴露在56天的佛教音乐中时，叶子长得更大，但如果暴露于西方流行音乐或寂静中，叶子就不会长大。去年发表的另一项研究发现，金盏花和鼠尾草暴露在繁忙的高速公路上的交通噪音中，生长困难)”可知，暴露在不同声音环境中的植物生长情况不同，它们会对不同的声音做出反应。故选C项。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Plants have been evolving (进化) alongside the insects that eat them for hundreds of millions of years. With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a botanist now at the University of Houston, and Reginald Cocroft, a biologist at the University of Missouri, wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by the animals with which they most often interact. (几亿年来，植物一直与以它们为食的昆虫一起进化。考虑到这一点，休斯敦大学的植物学家Heidi Appel和密苏里大学的生物学家Reginald Cocroft想知道，植物是否可能对它们最常接触的动物发出的声音敏感)”可知，Appel和Cocroft的研究基础是植物在和昆虫一起进化。故选B项。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. Leaves that had not been exposed to vibrations showed no such response. Other sorts of vibration — caused by the wind, for instance, or other insects that do not eat leaves — had no effect. (暴露在外的叶子含有更高水平的防御性化学物质，这使得毛毛虫更难吃到它们。没有暴露在振动下的叶子没有这种反应。其他种类的振动——例如，由风或其他不吃树叶的昆虫引起的振动——没有影响)”可知，暴露在有害振动中的植物产生了更多防御性化学物质，没有被暴露或暴露在其他类型的振动中的植物则没有该反应。由此推知，植物能识别有害的振动。故选A项。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Now speakers with the right audio files are more often being used to warn crops to act when insects are detected but not yet widespread,” says Dr. Cocroft. “Unlike chemical pesticides, sound waves leave no dangerous chemicals.” (Cocroft博士说：“现在，有正确音频文件的扬声器更常被用来警告作物，当发现昆虫但尚未广泛传播时采取行动。与化学杀虫剂不同，声音不会留下危险的化学物质。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了该实验结果的应用情况，可以利用正确的声音提前警告作物，对刚开始传播的昆虫采取行动。故选B项。
D
There is no doubt that when you receive a compliment, you feel good and when you receive a criticism, you feel upset and want to refuse it.
You shouldn’t be surprised by your reaction to the negative comment, as it’s human’s survival mechanism to avoid being criticized. Clearly, we don’t want to be seen as failures, so we’d rather shut our eyes and cover our ears than have to take any criticisms from others.
Imagine you’re learning to play the guitar, and you have just done your first public performance. Your teacher says, “You did well,” which may not be as useful in helping you improve your performance skills as “Your timing needs some work.” So I believe that criticisms are better than compliments.
No one would argue that healthy nutrition is a bad thing. However, too much food or drink — no matter how healthy they may be — can make us ill. Too many compliments take us away from our original enthusiasm of enjoying an activity. We start doing the activity only for the sake of receiving self-satisfying praise. Without the expectation of praise, our enthusiasm to complete things begins to be lost.
Launched in 2010, Microsoft KIN only lasted on the market for 48 days. It was very obvious that most 15 to 30-year-olds preferred Androids, BlackBerrys and iPhones to the Microsoft KIN. If criticism and feedback from the target group had been received while the phone was in development, Microsoft KIN could have avoided the huge embarrassment and its final failure.
Just to be clear, I’m talking about constructive criticism, which I like to think of as “healthy criticism”. The right kind of criticism is honest feedback that will benefit you. Feedback forces you to reconsider your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices, giving you support and courage to move forward to be a better person in the future.
32．What can we learn about compliment and criticism in Paragraph 1
A．People’s response to them. B．People’s ways to express them.
C．People’s understanding of them. D．People’s different opinions on them.
33．How would people be when receiving too many compliments
A．More annoyed. B．More satisfied. C．Less worried. D．Less interested.
34．How can healthy criticism be helpful according to the last paragraph
A．To encourage growth. B．To develop intelligence.
C．To avoid embarrassment. D．To reduce enthusiasm.
35．What is a suitable title for the passage
A．Criticisms are better than compliments.
B．Constructive criticism contributes to better future.
C．Honest feedback comes from healthy criticism.
D．Enough enthusiasm is vital for further development.
【答案】32．A 33．D 34．A 35．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们对赞美和批评有不同的反应，但是太多的赞美会让人们失去兴趣，因此建设性的批评才有助于成为更好的人。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“There is no doubt that when you receive a compliment, you feel good and when you receive a criticism, you feel upset and want to refuse it.(毫无疑问，当你收到赞美时，你会感觉很好，当你收到批评时，你会感到沮丧，想要拒绝它)”可知，第一段说明了人们对赞美和批评的反应。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“Too many compliments take us away from our original enthusiasm of enjoying an activity. (太多的赞美会让我们远离最初享受一项活动的热情)”可知，当人们收到太多的赞美时会不那么感兴趣了。故选D。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The right kind of criticism is honest feedback that will benefit you. Feedback forces you to reconsider your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices, giving you support and courage to move forward to be a better person in the future.(正确的批评是对你有益的诚实反馈。反馈会迫使你重新考虑自己的行为和工作方式。如果你明智地使用建设性的批评，它可以引导你远离不良习惯，给你支持和勇气，让你在未来成为一个更好的人)”可知，健康的批评可以鼓励成长。故选A。
35．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Just to be clear, I’m talking about constructive criticism, which I like to think of as “healthy criticism”. The right kind of criticism is honest feedback that will benefit you. Feedback forces you to reconsider your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices, giving you support and courage to move forward to be a better person in the future.(澄清一下，我说的是建设性的批评，我认为这是“健康的批评”。正确的批评是对你有益的诚实反馈。反馈会迫使你重新考虑自己的行为和工作方式。如果你明智地使用建设性的批评，它可以引导你远离不良习惯，给你支持和勇气，让你在未来成为一个更好的人)”结合文章主要说明了人们对赞美和批评有不同的反应，但是太多的赞美会让人们失去兴趣，因此建设性的批评才有助于成为更好的人。可知，B选项“建设性的批评有助于更美好的未来”最符合文章标题。故选B。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When it comes to helping students learn and mature, there are several ways to increase their well-being. Although your children may be succeeding in the classroom, there are a few things that you still can do.
Encouraging physical activity is the first thing you can do. More and more children do not participate in sports after school. It’s important for you to encourage mobility with sports that are played after class. You should find sporting equipment, basketball courts and play areas where kids can increase their well-being. 36
Secondly, you can provide proper nutrition for your children. It’s important for your children to receive proper nutrition both inside and outside of the home. 37 You’d better make it a point to provide enough nutrition for their proper development and growth.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国年画的起源与发展。
61．考查介词。句意：年画被称为“纸画”和“彩绘”，是中国民间文化中一种特殊的艺术形式。分析句子可知，(be) known as为固定搭配，意为“被称作……”，所以此处为介词as的填入。故填as。
62．考查代词。句意：如果没有年画，我们传统的中国民间文化将会少得多。分析句子可知，空格处作定语，修饰traditional Chinese folk culture，应填形容词性物主代词our。故填our。
63．考查名词。句意：这些画之所以有这样的名字，是因为它们大多是在中国新年假期期间张贴的装饰，它们也被认为是新年问候的象征。作介词for的宾语，作“装饰；装潢”讲，满足句意要求，填名词decoration。故填decoration。
64．考查冠词。句意：这些画之所以有这样的名字，是因为它们大多是在中国新年假期期间张贴的装饰，它们也被认为是新年问候的象征。句中的symbol为可数名词，此处表一种象征，填不定冠词表示泛指概念，结合symbol为首音节辅音单词，所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。
65．考查非谓语动词。句意：年画出现在唐代左右，取代了以前被认为可以保护居民和驱除邪恶的门画。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，replace和逻辑主语New Year paintings为主动关系，replace为现在分词形式。故填replacing。
66．考查动词不定式。句意：年画出现在唐代左右，取代了以前被认为可以保护居民和驱除邪恶的门画。分析句子可知，此处为be believed to do sth. 为固定表达，意为“被认为做某事”，所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to protect。
67．考查动词时态语态。句意：宋朝年画的创作规模很大。根据时间状语In the Song Dynasty可知，谓语动词create应用一般过去时。主语New Year paintings为复数，和create之间是被动关系，用被动语态，主谓一致。故填were created。
68．考查连词。句意：随着印刷技术的进步，年画的内容和形式也变得多种多样。此处指年画的内容和形式，空前后成分之间为并列关系，所以为并列连词and连接。故填and。
69．考查定语从句。句意：在明清时期，中国画的发展趋于成熟，达到了全盛时期。本句为“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词the Ming and Qing Dynasties表时间，指物，关系词代替先行词作介词during的宾语，填关系代词which引导。故填which。
70．考查名词复数。句意：传统的年画印刷方法有木版印刷、石版印刷、胶版印刷等。method意为“方法；办法”时为可数名词，在句中作主语，由该句谓语include可推断，主语应用复数。故填methods。

A few years ago on a vacation trip, I made a video of myself dance wildly in foreign places. I put it on the Internet. Some friends started passing them around and soon millions of people watched it. I was offered money to continue my travels. And since then, I had made two more travel video that include seventy countries. Many people wanted to dance along with me, because I started inviting them to join me. People want to feel connect to each other. They want to heard and seen, and they’re curious to hear and see others from places far away. I share with that idea. It’s exactly which drives me to travel. When I dance with people, I see them smile and laugh, which makes me truly exciting.
【答案】1. dance→ dancing
2. them→ it
3. had→ have
4. video→ videos
5. because→ so
6. connect→ connected
7. to后加be
8. 去掉with
9. which→ what
10. exciting→ excited
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者通过讲述自己的亲身经历，即因一段跳舞视频而在互联网上受到关注，进而开启了自己的旅行视频制作之路，表达了对旅行和与人交流的热爱。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语动词。句意：几年前，在一次度假旅行中，我拍了一段自己在国外疯狂跳舞的视频。非谓语动词担当介词后的宾语，用动名词形式。故将dance改为dancing。
2. 考查代词。句意：一些朋友开始四处传播，很快就有数百万人观看了它。此处的代词代指上文的“a video”，用代词it而不是them。故将them改为it。
3. 考查时态。句意：从那以后，我又制作了两个旅行视频，涵盖了70个国家。这里为本句的谓语动词，根据时间状语“since then”可知，本句时态为现在完成时。故将had改为have。
4. 考查名词的数。句意：从那以后，我又制作了两个旅行视频，涵盖了70个国家。根据“two more”可知，其后用名词的复数形式。故将video改为videos。
5. 考查连词。句意：很多人想和我一起跳舞，所以我开始邀请他们加入我。根据上文“Many people wanted to dance along with me”和下文内容“I started inviting them to join me”可知，两句之间存在因果关系。故将because改为so。
6. 考查形容词。句意：人们想要感受到彼此之间的联系。系动词后用形容词形式担当表语，表示“有联系的”。故将connect改为connected。
7. 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们想要被别人听到和看到，他们很好奇从很远的地方听到和看到别人。非谓语动词担当动词“want”后的宾语，用动词不定式形式；主语“they”和动词“hear”之间为被动关系，用不定式的被动式。故在to后加be。
8. 考查动词用法。句意：我同意这个观点。根据句意可知，此处“share”意为“同意或有……共同想法”为及物动词，其后直接接宾语，不需要用介词。故将with去掉。
9. 考查表语从句。句意：这正是驱使我去旅行的原因。这里为表语从句的引导词，表语从句中缺少主语，用引导词what。故将which改为what。
10. 考查形容词。句意：当我和人们跳舞时，我看到他们微笑和大笑，这让我真的很兴奋。考查形容词担当宾语补足语，excited，形容词，意为“兴奋的”，修饰人；exciting，形容词，意为“令人兴奋的”，修饰物。根据句意可知，此处形容词修饰宾语“me”，意为“兴奋的”，用excited。故将exciting改为excited。

One summer night, a boy felt himself lifted from bed by his father. Dazed with sleep, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it ” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep.
Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. This art of adding dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played creditably. “How long have you been interested in golf ” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said. “Your father gave you a set of clubs ” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.”
I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.”
The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes, which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation. But why don’t we work harder at it Probably because sometimes we don’t have the awareness or the selflessness or the energy. And yet, for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there but the opportunities also come repeatedly. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven.
24．What do the underlined words “adding dimensions to” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Setting an example for. B．Broadening the horizons of.
C．Providing attentive care for. D．Narrowing the possibilities of.
25．Why does the author mention the girl in Paragraph 2
A．To show parental impact on children’s passion.
B．To suggest hobbies always start from the small.
C．To highlight the importance of diverse experiences.
D．To prove true passion usually arises from the reward.
26．What will the author’s psychiatrist friend agree with
A．One’s personality is related to childhood experiences.
B．Childhood experience determines adult happiness.
C．Parenting styles requires professional guidance.
D．Stability in upbringing builds confidence.
27．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The author is always addicted to shooting stars.
B．It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to motivate kids.
C．The author will go to see shooting stars with his son.
D．It is impossible to unlock kids’ potential without eagerness.

Scientists have been experimenting with playing sounds to plants since at least the 1960s, during which time they have been exposed to everything from Beethoven to Michael Jackson. Over the years, evidence that this sort of thing can have an effect has been growing. One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an Asian shrub known as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when exposed to 56 days of Buddhist music — but not if it was exposed to Western pop music or silence. Another, published last year, found that marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered growth difficulty.
Plants have been evolving (进化) alongside the insects that eat them for hundreds of millions of years. With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a botanist now at the University of Houston, and Reginald Cocroft, a biologist at the University of Missouri, wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by the animals with which they most often interact. They recorded the vibrations made by certain species of caterpillars (毛毛虫) as they chewed on leaves. These vibrations are not powerful enough to produce sound waves in the air. But they are able to travel across leaves and branches, and even to neighbouring plants if their leaves touch.
They then exposed tobacco plant — the plant biologist’s version of the laboratory mouse — to the recorded vibrations while no caterpillars were actually present. Later, they put real caterpillars on the plants to see if exposure had led them to prepare for an insect attack. The results were striking. Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. Leaves that had not been exposed to vibrations showed no such response. Other sorts of vibration — caused by the wind, for instance, or other insects that do not eat leaves — had no effect.
“Now speakers with the right audio files are more often being used to warn crops to act when insects are detected but not yet widespread,” says Dr. Cocroft. “Unlike chemical pesticides, sound waves leave no dangerous chemicals.”
28．What can we learn about plants from the first paragraph
A．They may enjoy Western music. B．They can’t stand Buddhist music.
C．They can react to different sounds. D．They can make different sounds.
29．What’s the basis for Appel and Cocroft’s research
A．Plants can make a cry for help. B．Plants evolve alongside insects.
C．Plants are sensitive to the sounds. D．Plants have been studied for years.
30．What can we infer about plants from Paragraph 3
A．They can recognize harmful vibrations. B．They look like laboratory mice.
C．They can threaten the caterpillars. D．They can release poisonous chemicals.
31．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Disadvantages of chemical pesticides. B．Application of the experimental results.
C．Interaction between plants and insects. D．Warning system of widespread insects.
D
There is no doubt that when you receive a compliment, you feel good and when you receive a criticism, you feel upset and want to refuse it.
You shouldn’t be surprised by your reaction to the negative comment, as it’s human’s survival mechanism to avoid being criticized. Clearly, we don’t want to be seen as failures, so we’d rather shut our eyes and cover our ears than have to take any criticisms from others.
Imagine you’re learning to play the guitar, and you have just done your first public performance. Your teacher says, “You did well,” which may not be as useful in helping you improve your performance skills as “Your timing needs some work.” So I believe that criticisms are better than compliments.
No one would argue that healthy nutrition is a bad thing. However, too much food or drink — no matter how healthy they may be — can make us ill. Too many compliments take us away from our original enthusiasm of enjoying an activity. We start doing the activity only for the sake of receiving self-satisfying praise. Without the expectation of praise, our enthusiasm to complete things begins to be lost.
Launched in 2010, Microsoft KIN only lasted on the market for 48 days. It was very obvious that most 15 to 30-year-olds preferred Androids, BlackBerrys and iPhones to the Microsoft KIN. If criticism and feedback from the target group had been received while the phone was in development, Microsoft KIN could have avoided the huge embarrassment and its final failure.
Just to be clear, I’m talking about constructive criticism, which I like to think of as “healthy criticism”. The right kind of criticism is honest feedback that will benefit you. Feedback forces you to reconsider your actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad practices, giving you support and courage to move forward to be a better person in the future.
32．What can we learn about compliment and criticism in Paragraph 1
A．People’s response to them. B．People’s ways to express them.
C．People’s understanding of them. D．People’s different opinions on them.
33．How would people be when receiving too many compliments
A．More annoyed. B．More satisfied. C．Less worried. D．Less interested.
34．How can healthy criticism be helpful according to the last paragraph
A．To encourage growth. B．To develop intelligence.
C．To avoid embarrassment. D．To reduce enthusiasm.
35．What is a suitable title for the passage
A．Criticisms are better than compliments.
B．Constructive criticism contributes to better future.
C．Honest feedback comes from healthy criticism.
D．Enough enthusiasm is vital for further development.
