A year ago, my wife and I sold one of our cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that passenger vehicles are responsible for much of our greenhouse-gas emissions. I also knew that electric cars were an imperfect fix. Though they’re responsible for less carbon pollution than gas cars, their supply chain is carbon intensive. But an e-bike’s comparatively tiny battery means less electricity, fewer emissions and fewer resources. E-bikes are clearly better for the planet than cars of any kind.
But I also viewed getting rid of my car as a sacrifice. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in winter and sweating in summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.
I was very wrong. The first thing I noticed was the savings. Between car payments, insurance, maintenance (保养), and gas, a car-centered lifestyle is expensive. I predict that we’ll save about $50,000 over the next five years by selling our car.
The actual experience of riding to work each day over the past year has been equally surprising. In winter, I wear gloves, warm socks, a thick cap, and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almost never too cold. In summer, I didn’t break a sweat. I just used the throttle (油门), sat back, and enjoyed my ride.
I arrived to work a little more lighthearted for having spent the morning in fresh air rather than traffic. I jumped on my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass.
24.Why did the author change a car for an e-bike
A.He wanted to do something good for environment.
B.He thought that e-bikes would replace gas vehicles.
C.He couldn’t afford the expensive transportation costs.
D.He believed e-bike’s supply chain was environment-friendly.
25.What did the author think he would sacrifice for the e-biking
A.The traffic safety. B.The traffic comfort.
C.The traffic economy. D.The traffic convenience.
26.What is the author’s feeling about having ridden an e-bike for a year
A.Tolerant. B.Unexpected. C.Conservative. D.Compromising.
27.What is the best title for the text
A.Changes Brought by an E-bike B.My Green Life for the Last Year
C.The Replacement for Gas Vehicles D.Comparation Between Cars and E-bikes
C
It was long theorized that people make decisions based on integrated global calculations that occur within the frontal cortex(额叶皮层) of the brain, which is considered the seat of higher-order thinking. However, Yale researchers have found that three distinct brain circuits from the frontal cortex connecting to different brain regions are involved in making good decisions, bad ones, and determining which of those past choices to store in memory.
The study of decision-making in rats may help scientists find the roots of flawed decision-making common to mental health disorders such as addiction, the authors say. They used-a new tool to manipulate(操纵) brain circuits in rats while they were making choices between actions that led to them receiving rewards or no rewards. If the rats made the right decision, one that ended in a reward, one of the brain circuits was activated, but another was activated if the rats made the wrong choice and received no reward. The third circuit stored past experiences and decisions to help the rats with future choices.
Stephanie Groman, lead author of the research says, “A comparison would be deciding on a restaurant for dinner. For instance, without the ‘good choice’ circuit you may not return to the restaurant with good food and without the ‘bad choice’ circuit you might not avoid the restaurant with bad food. The third ‘memory’ circuit is crucial in making decisions such as whether to return to the restaurant after receiving one bad meal after several good ones.”
Changes in these circuits may help explain a typical feature of addiction—why people continue to make harmful choices even after repeated negative experiences. The Yale researchers previously showed that some of the same brain calculations were disrupted(扰乱)in animals that had taken methamphetamine. “Because we used a test that is similar to those used in studies of human decision making, our findings have direct relevance to humans and could aid in the search for novel treatments for substance abuse in humans,” Groman said.
28.How was Yale’s research different from the previous theory
A.It defined the function of different brain regions.
B.It identified specific circuits involved in decision-making.
C.It focused on the connection between choices and memories.
D.It highlighted the role of the frontal cortex in higher-order thinking.
29.What can be inferred from Stephanie Groman’s words
A.Memories are related to all the three circuits.
B.People base their decisions on personal preferences.
C.The three circuits are all of vital importance in making decisions.
D.The circuit related to rewards is the foundation of deciding wisely.
30.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on
A.The limitations of the present study. B.A description of the research method.
C.A possible reason for the study findings. D.The potential application of the conclusion.
31.What might be the best title for the text
A.How people get addicted and cured
B.How making decisions influences our brain
C.How our brain develops when facing choices
D.How the brain helps us make good decisions and bad ones
D
It was just after 17:00 on a mid-September evening at a historical Church in Harlem, New York City. Mostly the low-income black neighborhood sat at dining tables. In front of them was a menu listing three courses, which they only saw on TV. Each dish was prepared with “leftover” ingredients(食材), offered free of charge and placed alongside a blue card that read “you are loved” in hand-written script.
This-is-one of 14 community centers created around the world in cities like Milan, Paris, Mérida, Lima, Sydney and now New York through three-Michelin starred chef Massimo Bottura’s Food for Soul project. He started the project in 2016 with his wife, Lara Gilmore, to help fight the global problem of food waste-by using ingredients that might otherwise be thrown away by suppliers and to give socially and economically vulnerable people access to high quality meals.
Partnering with architects, artists and community leaders, the project is transforming spaces, which are not fully taken advantage of, such as churches and even a historical home into intentionally designed cultural centers equipped with kitchens, dining rooms and other facilities that help create a sense of well-being, connection and inclusion.
When I asked Bottura why he created such thoughtful. meals within beautifully appointed spaces for the low-income, he told me that everyone deserves respect and beauty-and of course, healthy food. “They come in and are completely lost because they’re not used to coming into beautiful places, like this. But once they’re here, they realize that this place is their place. It’s not my place,” he said.
Bottura’s philosophy is one that comes from the heart. T-shirts worm by volunteers at his community centers say “cooking is an act of love”, and he approaches the food served there with as much care as he does at his restaurants — “probably even more”, he said since the diners are extremely stressed and need healthy food to feel better. Bottura insists that it’s important to change the language around the food served in his community centers.
32.Why does the author describe such a scene in the first paragraph
A.To introduce Bottura’s project. B.To show the appeal of the dishes.
C.To emphasize the warm atmosphere. D.To explain how the event is organized.
33.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Privileged. B.Independent. C.Conservative. D.Disadvantaged.
34.Which of the following best describes Massimo Bottura
A.Skilled and strict. B.Caring and considerate.
C.Wealthy and humorous. D.Economical and influential.
35.What fundamental philosophy does Massimo Bottura express
A.Respect and beauty are for all. B.Beautiful places inspire respect.
C.Cooking should be a profession. D.Community centers bring people together.

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。
Sometimes giving feedback (反馈) can be stressful. After all, you want your words to be helpful and constructive, but you also don’t want to make anyone feel bad. It’s normal to be nervous about how the other person will respond to your comments. A negative reaction might hurt your relationship and make it harder for you to communicate in the future. 36 . Here are some basic tips on giving feedback.
37
It’s essential to give feedback in a timely manner. Don’t wait until too long after a project is finished or a performance has been given to provide your comments, or it might make your feedback less meaningful. Delivering it too soon can also create problems. Most importantly, ensure that the recipient knows they are going to get feedback.
Take a balanced approach
38 . If you only focus on constructive feedback, the other person is much more likely to walk away feeling pretty terrible about themselves. Instead, try providing some comments on ways people can improve and grow, but balance it by delivering recognition and acknowledgment of what they’ve done well.
Focus on actions, not personality traits (特征)
Feedback should focus on a person’s specific behaviors and actions, not on their character. When people think outcomes are caused by personal characteristics that can’t be changed, feedback is less likely to result in change. 39 .
Look for ways to encourage self-reflection
Feedback shouldn’t just be a list of pluses and minuses. Deliver it in a way that encourages people to reflect on how they are doing, what they’ve done well and ways that they might be able to improve. How do you do this 40 . When noting things that might need improving, you might ask, “What are some things you might do differently next time ”
A.Choose the right time
B.Inform the other person before you give feedback
C.Getting the other person involved is a great way to start
D.How people perceive your feedback depends on several factors
E.That’s why learning how to give helpful feedback is so important
F.Great feedback should include both positive and constructive comments
G.However, focusing on how people can take action to improve makes them feel motivated

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I remember that I was worn out when I got home that afternoon. I'd had to be at the theatre for the audition (试演) at nine that morning, and then I'd been waiting around for about three hours before the director finally saw me. I performed my song and almost at once he told me I could go home. “I am very sorry,”he said,“but your voice isn't quite right for the part.”It had been a similar story at all the auditions that I'd done over the past few weeks.
It had been my dream for years to be in a famous musical like The Sound of Music or Mamma Mia, so I'd taken lessons in singing and dancing, and had come to the city to try and get a part in a show. I'd been really pleased when I'd managed to set up no fewer than ten auditions, but so far all of them had gone the same way. As I arrived back that afternoon at the little apartment where I rented a room, I really wondered whether I should bother going to the eleventh the next morning. It was a show I'd have loved to be in — but really, what was the point Someone I knew had told me about a job at a local coffee shop, and had said that if I called in for a quick chat at ten the next day, I'd almost certainly get the job. It meant missing the audition, but right now, it seemed like a much more sensible thing to do.
I always sing when I need to cheer myself up, and because there was no one else in the apartment, I slipped off my shoes, went and stood in front of the mirror and started singing.Quite quickly I found myself belting out (大声唱) one of my favourite songs, Bridge over Troubled Water. As I finished the song, I suddenly heard applause. I looked around the room thinking that my roommate had perhaps slipped in without me noticing — but there was nobody. Then I went over to the open window of the apartment, and saw an elderly woman standing on the far side of the pavement below, looking up at me.

W: Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to talk about Drew Barrymore. Barrymore was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1975. She began her acting life very early. Before her first birthday, she appeared in a TV advertisement for dog food. At the age of two, she acted in her first TV movie. At age five, she appeared in her first film, the science fiction Altered States. Barrymore’s big break came when she was seven. Director Steven Spielberg decided to let her act in his film E. T. Hollywood took notice, and Barrymore became a star. As a young adult, Barrymore acted in several dramas and comedies; however, she wanted to make her own films. In 1995, she started her own production company, Flower Films. Four years later, she produced her first film, Never Been Kissed. Over the years, her company has made a lot of famous movies and TV programs, including Fever Pitch in 2005 and the Charlie’s Angels in 2011. In 2007, Barrymore’s life took a new turn.

A year ago, my wife and I sold one of our cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that passenger vehicles are responsible for much of our greenhouse-gas emissions. I also knew that electric cars were an imperfect fix. Though they’re responsible for less carbon pollution than gas cars, their supply chain is carbon intensive. But an e-bike’s comparatively tiny battery means less electricity, fewer emissions and fewer resources. E-bikes are clearly better for the planet than cars of any kind.
But I also viewed getting rid of my car as a sacrifice. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in winter and sweating in summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.
I was very wrong. The first thing I noticed was the savings. Between car payments, insurance, maintenance (保养), and gas, a car-centered lifestyle is expensive. I predict that we’ll save about $50,000 over the next five years by selling our car.
The actual experience of riding to work each day over the past year has been equally surprising. In winter, I wear gloves, warm socks, a thick cap, and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almost never too cold. In summer, I didn’t break a sweat. I just used the throttle (油门), sat back, and enjoyed my ride.
I arrived to work a little more lighthearted for having spent the morning in fresh air rather than traffic. I jumped on my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass.
24.Why did the author change a car for an e-bike
A.He wanted to do something good for environment.
B.He thought that e-bikes would replace gas vehicles.
C.He couldn’t afford the expensive transportation costs.
D.He believed e-bike’s supply chain was environment-friendly.
25.What did the author think he would sacrifice for the e-biking
A.The traffic safety. B.The traffic comfort.
C.The traffic economy. D.The traffic convenience.
26.What is the author’s feeling about having ridden an e-bike for a year
A.Tolerant. B.Unexpected. C.Conservative. D.Compromising.
27.What is the best title for the text
A.Changes Brought by an E-bike B.My Green Life for the Last Year
C.The Replacement for Gas Vehicles D.Comparation Between Cars and E-bikes
【答案】24.A 25.B 26.B 27.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者卖掉一辆汽车换成电动自行车, 一年后, 他对骑车上下班的担忧变成了惊喜。
24.细节理解题。根据第一段“But an e-bike’s comparatively tiny battery means less electricity, fewer emissions and fewer resources. E-bikes are clearly better for the planet than cars of any kind.(但电动自行车相对较小的电池意味着更少的电力、更少的排放和更少的资源。电动自行车显然比任何一种汽车都更有益于地球)”可知,作者换电动自行车是因为它更加环保。故选A。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段“I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in winter and sweating in summer.(我住在科罗拉多州;骑电动自行车意味着冬天挨冻,夏天大汗淋漓)”可知,作者认为汽车相对更舒服,这方面是作者牺牲的。故选B。
26.推理判断题。根据第二段中“It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.(我想,这样做是对的,但这不会很有趣)”和第四段中“The actual experience of riding to work each day over the past year has been equally surprising.(在过去的一年里,每天骑车上班的实际经历同样令人惊讶)”可知,作者对骑电动车上班一年的感受是出乎意料的惊喜。故选B。
27.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The actual experience of riding to work each day over the past year has been equally surprising.(在过去的一年里,每天骑车上班的实际经历同样令人惊讶)”结合文章讲述作者卖掉一辆汽车换成电动自行车后, 骑车上下班给自己带来的惊喜。A选项“电动自行车带来的变化”最符合文章标题。故选A。
C
It was long theorized that people make decisions based on integrated global calculations that occur within the frontal cortex(额叶皮层) of the brain, which is considered the seat of higher-order thinking. However, Yale researchers have found that three distinct brain circuits from the frontal cortex connecting to different brain regions are involved in making good decisions, bad ones, and determining which of those past choices to store in memory.
The study of decision-making in rats may help scientists find the roots of flawed decision-making common to mental health disorders such as addiction, the authors say. They used-a new tool to manipulate(操纵) brain circuits in rats while they were making choices between actions that led to them receiving rewards or no rewards. If the rats made the right decision, one that ended in a reward, one of the brain circuits was activated, but another was activated if the rats made the wrong choice and received no reward. The third circuit stored past experiences and decisions to help the rats with future choices.
Stephanie Groman, lead author of the research says, “A comparison would be deciding on a restaurant for dinner. For instance, without the ‘good choice’ circuit you may not return to the restaurant with good food and without the ‘bad choice’ circuit you might not avoid the restaurant with bad food. The third ‘memory’ circuit is crucial in making decisions such as whether to return to the restaurant after receiving one bad meal after several good ones.”
Changes in these circuits may help explain a typical feature of addiction—why people continue to make harmful choices even after repeated negative experiences. The Yale researchers previously showed that some of the same brain calculations were disrupted(扰乱)in animals that had taken methamphetamine. “Because we used a test that is similar to those used in studies of human decision making, our findings have direct relevance to humans and could aid in the search for novel treatments for substance abuse in humans,” Groman said.
28.How was Yale’s research different from the previous theory
A.It defined the function of different brain regions.
B.It identified specific circuits involved in decision-making.
C.It focused on the connection between choices and memories.
D.It highlighted the role of the frontal cortex in higher-order thinking.
29.What can be inferred from Stephanie Groman’s words
A.Memories are related to all the three circuits.
B.People base their decisions on personal preferences.
C.The three circuits are all of vital importance in making decisions.
D.The circuit related to rewards is the foundation of deciding wisely.
30.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on
A.The limitations of the present study. B.A description of the research method.
C.A possible reason for the study findings. D.The potential application of the conclusion.
31.What might be the best title for the text
A.How people get addicted and cured
B.How making decisions influences our brain
C.How our brain develops when facing choices
D.How the brain helps us make good decisions and bad ones
【答案】28.B 29.C 30.D 31.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了大脑中的三个回路如何帮助我们做出好或坏的决定。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, Yale researchers have found that three distinct brain circuits from the frontal cortex connecting to different brain regions are involved in making good decisions, bad ones, and determining which of those past choices to store in memory.
(然而,耶鲁大学的研究人员发现,从额叶皮层连接到不同大脑区域的三个不同的大脑回路参与了做出好的决定和坏的决定,以及决定将哪些过去的选择存储在记忆中。)”可知,耶鲁大学的研究与之前不同在于它确定了参与决策的特定回路。故选择B项。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段中“A comparison would be deciding on a restaurant for dinner. For instance, without the ‘good choice’ circuit you may not return to the restaurant with good food and without the ‘bad choice’ circuit you might not avoid the restaurant with bad food. The third ‘memory’ circuit is crucial in making decisions such as whether to return to the restaurant after receiving one bad meal after several good ones. (一个比较是决定在一家餐厅用餐。例如,如果没有“好的选择”循环,可能不会的回到食物好吃餐厅;如果没有“坏的选择”回路,你可能无法避开带食物不好的餐厅。第三个“记忆”回路在做出决定时至关重要,比如在吃了几顿好饭之后,是否要回到餐厅。)”可知这三个回路对于我们作出决定都有着至关重要的影响,故选择C项。
30.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Because we used a test that is similar to those used in studies of human decision making, our findings have direct relevance to humans and could aid in the search for novel treatments for substance abuse in humans(因为我们使用的测试与人类决策研究中使用的测试相似,我们的发现与人类有直接相关性,有助于寻找治疗人类药物滥用的新方法)”可知本段主要讲述的是研究结论的潜在应用。故选择D项。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Yale researchers have found that three distinct brain circuits from the frontal cortex connecting to different brain regions are involved in making good decisions, bad ones, and determining which of those past choices to store in memory.( 耶鲁大学的研究人员发现,从额叶皮层连接到不同大脑区域的三个不同的大脑回路参与了做出好的决定和坏的决定,以及决定将过去的哪些选择存储在记忆中)”可知本文主要讲述的是大脑如何帮助我们作出好或坏的决定,故选择D项。
D
It was just after 17:00 on a mid-September evening at a historical Church in Harlem, New York City. Mostly the low-income black neighborhood sat at dining tables. In front of them was a menu listing three courses, which they only saw on TV. Each dish was prepared with “leftover” ingredients(食材), offered free of charge and placed alongside a blue card that read “you are loved” in hand-written script.
This-is-one of 14 community centers created around the world in cities like Milan, Paris, Mérida, Lima, Sydney and now New York through three-Michelin starred chef Massimo Bottura’s Food for Soul project. He started the project in 2016 with his wife, Lara Gilmore, to help fight the global problem of food waste-by using ingredients that might otherwise be thrown away by suppliers and to give socially and economically vulnerable people access to high quality meals.
Partnering with architects, artists and community leaders, the project is transforming spaces, which are not fully taken advantage of, such as churches and even a historical home into intentionally designed cultural centers equipped with kitchens, dining rooms and other facilities that help create a sense of well-being, connection and inclusion.
When I asked Bottura why he created such thoughtful. meals within beautifully appointed spaces for the low-income, he told me that everyone deserves respect and beauty-and of course, healthy food. “They come in and are completely lost because they’re not used to coming into beautiful places, like this. But once they’re here, they realize that this place is their place. It’s not my place,” he said.
Bottura’s philosophy is one that comes from the heart. T-shirts worm by volunteers at his community centers say “cooking is an act of love”, and he approaches the food served there with as much care as he does at his restaurants — “probably even more”, he said since the diners are extremely stressed and need healthy food to feel better. Bottura insists that it’s important to change the language around the food served in his community centers.
32.Why does the author describe such a scene in the first paragraph
A.To introduce Bottura’s project. B.To show the appeal of the dishes.
C.To emphasize the warm atmosphere. D.To explain how the event is organized.
33.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Privileged. B.Independent. C.Conservative. D.Disadvantaged.
34.Which of the following best describes Massimo Bottura
A.Skilled and strict. B.Caring and considerate.
C.Wealthy and humorous. D.Economical and influential.
35.What fundamental philosophy does Massimo Bottura express
A.Respect and beauty are for all. B.Beautiful places inspire respect.
C.Cooking should be a profession. D.Community centers bring people together.
【答案】32.A 33.D 34.B 35.A

34.推理判断题。根据第二段中“He started the project in 2016 with his wife, Lara Gilmore, to help fight the global problem of food waste-by using ingredients that might otherwise be thrown away by suppliers and to give socially and economically vulnerable people access to high quality meals.( 他与妻子Lara Gilmore于2016年启动了这个项目,通过使用供应商可能会丢弃的食材,帮助解决全球食物浪费问题,并为社会和经济弱势群体提供高质量的膳食。)”以及第三段中“Partnering with architects, artists and community leaders, the project is transforming spaces, which are not fully taken advantage of, such as churches and even a historical home into intentionally designed cultural centers equipped with kitchens, dining rooms and other facilities that help create a sense of well-being, connection and inclusion.( 该项目与建筑师、艺术家和社区领袖合作,将教堂甚至历史住宅等未被充分利用的空间转变为精心设计的文化中心,配有厨房、餐厅和其他设施,有助于创造一种幸福感、联系感和包容性。)”可知,Massimo Bottura通过使用供应商可能会扔掉的原料,帮助解决全球食物浪费问题,并为社会和经济弱势群体提供高质量的膳食;并且还与建筑师、艺术家和社区领袖合作,将教堂甚至历史住宅等未被充分利用的空间转变为精心设计的文化中心,配有厨房、餐厅和其他设施,有助于创造一种幸福感、联系感和包容性。由此体现出他是一个关怀和体贴他人的人。故选B。
35.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“When I asked Bottura why he created such thoughtful. meals within beautifully appointed spaces for the low-income, he told me that everyone deserves respect and beauty-and of course, healthy food. (当我问Bottura为什么要创作这么有思想的作品时。他告诉我,每个人都应该得到尊重和美丽,当然,还有健康的食物。)”可知,Bottura做这一切的想法基础是每个人都应该得到尊重和美丽,即尊重和美属于所有人。故选A。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5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。
Sometimes giving feedback (反馈) can be stressful. After all, you want your words to be helpful and constructive, but you also don’t want to make anyone feel bad. It’s normal to be nervous about how the other person will respond to your comments. A negative reaction might hurt your relationship and make it harder for you to communicate in the future. 36 . Here are some basic tips on giving feedback.
37
It’s essential to give feedback in a timely manner. Don’t wait until too long after a project is finished or a performance has been given to provide your comments, or it might make your feedback less meaningful. Delivering it too soon can also create problems. Most importantly, ensure that the recipient knows they are going to get feedback.
Take a balanced approach
38 . If you only focus on constructive feedback, the other person is much more likely to walk away feeling pretty terrible about themselves. Instead, try providing some comments on ways people can improve and grow, but balance it by delivering recognition and acknowledgment of what they’ve done well.
Focus on actions, not personality traits (特征)
Feedback should focus on a person’s specific behaviors and actions, not on their character. When people think outcomes are caused by personal characteristics that can’t be changed, feedback is less likely to result in change. 39 .
Look for ways to encourage self-reflection
Feedback shouldn’t just be a list of pluses and minuses. Deliver it in a way that encourages people to reflect on how they are doing, what they’ve done well and ways that they might be able to improve. How do you do this 40 . When noting things that might need improving, you might ask, “What are some things you might do differently next time ”
A.Choose the right time
B.Inform the other person before you give feedback
C.Getting the other person involved is a great way to start
D.How people perceive your feedback depends on several factors
E.That’s why learning how to give helpful feedback is so important
F.Great feedback should include both positive and constructive comments
G.However, focusing on how people can take action to improve makes them feel motivated
【答案】36.E 37.A 38.F 39.G 40.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四条关于给反馈的建议。
36.根据空前“It’s normal to be nervous about how the other person will respond to your comments. A negative reaction might hurt your relationship and make it harder for you to communicate in the future.(担心别人会如何回应你的评论是很正常的。一个消极的反应可能会伤害你们的关系,让你们在未来更难沟通)”可知,如果你给出的反馈带来的是负面反应,那么可能会造成不好的影响,因此反馈的方式很重要。故E项“那就是学习如何提供有用的反馈是如此重要的原因”符合。故选E。
37.根据本段的内容“It’s essential to give feedback in a timely manner. Don’t wait until too long after a project is finished or a performance has been given to provide your comments, or it might make your feedback less meaningful. Delivering it too soon can also create problems. Most importantly, ensure that the recipient knows they are going to get feedback.(及时给予反馈是很重要的。不要等到项目完成或演出结束后太久才给出你的评论,否则你的反馈可能会变得不那么有意义。交付太快也会产生问题。最重要的是,确保收件人知道他们会得到反馈)”可知,太早或太晚给反馈都不太好,重要的是择恰当的(反馈)时间。故A项“选择恰当的(反馈)时间”符合。故选A。
38.根据本段的小标题“Take a balanced approach(采取平衡的方法)”及空后“If you only focus on constructive feedback, the other person is much more likely to walk away feeling pretty terrible about themselves. Instead, try providing some comments on ways people can improve and grow, but balance it by delivering recognition and acknowledgment of what they’ve done well.(如果你只关注建设性的反馈,对方更有可能离开,感觉自己很糟糕。相反,试着对人们可以改进和成长的方式提供一些评论,但通过对他们做得好的地方给予认可和认可来平衡)”可知,本段的主旨是说明好的反馈是平衡的,包括积极的和建设性的评论.F选项中constructive对应后文constructive。故F项“好的反馈应该包括积极的和建设性的评论”符合。故选F。
39.根据本段小标题中的关键词actions及空前“Feedback should focus on a person’s specific behaviors and actions, not on their character.(反馈应该关注一个人的具体行为和行动,而不是他们的性格)”可知,本段强调关注一个人如何采取行动的。故G项“然而,关注他们如何采取行动提升自己会让他们感到有动力”符合。故选G。
40.根据空前“How do you do this (你怎么做到?)”及空后“When noting things that might need improving, you might ask, “What are some things you might do differently next time ”(当注意到可能需要改进的地方时,你可以问:“下次你可能会做些什么不同的事情 ”)”提到的“询问接收反馈的人的看法”可知,是在建议让对方也参与到反馈中。故C项“让对方参与进来是一个很好的开始方式”符合。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I remember that I was worn out when I got home that afternoon. I'd had to be at the theatre for the audition (试演) at nine that morning, and then I'd been waiting around for about three hours before the director finally saw me. I performed my song and almost at once he told me I could go home. “I am very sorry,”he said,“but your voice isn't quite right for the part.”It had been a similar story at all the auditions that I'd done over the past few weeks.
It had been my dream for years to be in a famous musical like The Sound of Music or Mamma Mia, so I'd taken lessons in singing and dancing, and had come to the city to try and get a part in a show. I'd been really pleased when I'd managed to set up no fewer than ten auditions, but so far all of them had gone the same way. As I arrived back that afternoon at the little apartment where I rented a room, I really wondered whether I should bother going to the eleventh the next morning. It was a show I'd have loved to be in — but really, what was the point Someone I knew had told me about a job at a local coffee shop, and had said that if I called in for a quick chat at ten the next day, I'd almost certainly get the job. It meant missing the audition, but right now, it seemed like a much more sensible thing to do.
I always sing when I need to cheer myself up, and because there was no one else in the apartment, I slipped off my shoes, went and stood in front of the mirror and started singing.Quite quickly I found myself belting out (大声唱) one of my favourite songs, Bridge over Troubled Water. As I finished the song, I suddenly heard applause. I looked around the room thinking that my roommate had perhaps slipped in without me noticing — but there was nobody. Then I went over to the open window of the apartment, and saw an elderly woman standing on the far side of the pavement below, looking up at me.

【答案】范文
She reached her arms up towards me with a great smile on her face. I was taken aback by her unexpected gesture of appreciation. Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she shouted from below, “You have a voice of an angel, my dear! Keep singing, don’t ever stop!” The unexpected support from a stranger was like a beacon of light in the midst of my doubts and disappointments. I felt a surge of confidence and determination washing over me. With renewed spirit, I made up my mind to go all out for the audition the next day.
The next day I went to the eleventh audition. As I walked into the theatre, I felt a newfound sense of purpose and self-assurance. The director greeted me with a warm smile, and this time, as I sang my heart out, I could feel the magic in the air. When I finished, there was a moment of silence before the room erupted into applause. The director’s eyes were shining with excitement as he said, “You’ve got the part! Welcome to the show!” It was at that moment that I realized dreams really did come true, and all it took was a little courage and belief in oneself.
