第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Everyone has unique needs and preferences, and individual sleep requirements are no different. However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age.
Official recommendations for the length of a person’s sleep are broken down by age group:
Older adults (65+): 7–8 hours
Adults (18–64 years): 7–9 hours
Teenagers (14–17 years): 8–10 hours
School children (6–13 years): 9–11 hours
Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours (including naps)
Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours (including naps)
Infants (4–12 months): 12–15 hours (including naps)
Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours
However, some people might need more or less sleep than is generally recommended, depending on the following factors.
Genetic makeup
Your genetics are an important factor in how many hours of sleep you need per night.
For example, those with one specific genetic mutation (基因突变) need only around 6 hours, whereas people without it require about 8 hours, on average.
Sleep quality
The quality of your sleep can also affect how much you need.
If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.
Therefore, it’s not only important to focus on sleeping long enough but also on sleeping well enough. If you often feel like you aren’t sleeping well or are extremely tired and don’t know why, it’s a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider.
1. What is the main reason for the amount of sleep we need per night
A. Sleep quality. B. Genetics. C. Our age. D. Our eating habits.
2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A. All the school children need to sleep for 9 to 11 hours.
B. If you feel tired, please consult your healthcare provider.
C. Those with genetic mutation only need to sleep around 6 hours.
D. Due to poor sleep quality, you feel tired though you’ve slept enough.
3. Where does this passage most probably come from
A. A travel brochure. B. A health magazine.
C. A fashion website. D. A sports newspaper.
【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了不同年龄的睡眠时间长度。然而，有些人可能需要比通常建议的更多或更少的睡眠，这取决于以下因素。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age.”（ 然而，你每晚需要的睡眠时间主要取决于你的年龄。）可知，我们的年龄是我们每晚需要多少睡眠的主要原因。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Sleep quality 中的“If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.”（ 如果你的睡眠质量很差，你可能会发现你在得到应该被认为足够的东西后仍然感到疲倦）可知，由于睡眠质量差，你虽然睡得够了，但还是觉得很累。故选D项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyone has unique needs and preferences, and individual sleep requirements are no different. However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age.”（ 每个人都有独特的需求和偏好，个人的睡眠需求也没有什么不同。然而，你每晚需要的睡眠时间主要取决于你的年龄。）和根据“However, some people might need more or less sleep than is generally recommended, depending on the following factors.”（然而，有些人可能需要比通常建议的更多或更少的睡眠，这取决于以下因素。）可知，短文主要来自健康杂志。故选B项。
B
When Peter Zhuo was a kid, he could barely hold pencil properly. He'd either wrap all his fingers around it or hold it uncomfortably between his middle and fourth finger. Through practice he managed to get it right when he was about eight. Now at 23, not only can he use a pencil competently, he's using it to change the world, one stroke at a time.
Peter—who goes by the name Peter Draw felt the desire to draw with a purpose after meeting Daniel, a teenager with cerebral palsy(脑瘫), in November 2006. When Daniel first joined Peter's drawing class at the Spastic Children's Association of Singapore, Peter doubted if Daniel could even complete a drawing. But stroke by stroke the then 17-year-old did.
"His passion for drawing really touched me. I felt I should do more with my drawing and help children at the same time," says Peter, who has since taken on some mega projects to raise awareness for his cause.
Last October, he earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for drawing the world's largest caricature(人物漫画). His 360-square-metre drawing of Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan is twice the size of the previous record. Peter completed it in just three-and-a-half hours while the previous record-holder took three days.
And in December, he took on the challenge of drawing caricatures for 24 hours non-stop in order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that builds homes for the less fortunate. Peter completed 952 sketches(素描) during the time. The event raised $ 6, 000 through donations and his accomplishment earned him a mention in the Singapore Book of Records.
4. When Peter was a kid, .
A. he had difficulty using his pencil B. he was unable to write a word
C. his fingers were flexible D. he couldn't practice writing
5. After Peter met Daniel, he intended to .
A. learn drawing like Daniel B. help children through his drawing
C. become an action actor like Jackie Chan D. win a place in the Guinness Book of Records
6. The underlined word “mega” in Paragraph 3 may mean .
A. profitable B. impressive C. interesting D. scary
7. What do we know about Peter
A. He donated$6,000 to build houses for the poor.
B. He drew the world’s largest caricature in three days.
C. He raised a lot of money for Daniel to treat his disease.
D. He drew 952 sketches in 24 hours to raise a lot of money.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了画家Peter通过画了一些巨型的人物漫画来帮助孩子们的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中When Peter Zhuo was a kid, he could barely hold pencil properly. He'd either wrap all his fingers around it or hold it uncomfortably between his middle and fourth finger.可知Peter Zhuo小时候，他几乎不能正确握笔。他要么用所有的手指包住它，要么不舒服地用中指和无名指夹住它。由此可知，当Peter还是个孩子的时候，他很难使用铅笔。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中"His passion for drawing really touched me. I felt I should do more with my drawing and help children at the same time," says Peter…可知“他对绘画的热情真的打动了我。我觉得我应该在画画的同时帮助孩子们，”Peter说……由此可知，Peter遇到Daniel后，他打算通过画画来帮助孩子们。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中His 360-square-metre drawing of Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan is twice the size of the previous record. Peter completed it in just three-and-a-half hours while the previous record-holder took three days.可知Peter画的是香港动作明星成龙，面积为360平方米，是之前纪录的两倍。Peter只用了3个半小时就完成了，而之前的纪录保持者则用了3天。由此可知，Peter承担了一些让人印象深刻的大型项目，以提高人们对他的事业的认识。划线单词意思为“令人印象的”。A. profitable有利可图的；B. impressive令人印象深刻的；C. interesting有趣的；D. scary可怕的。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段And in December, he took on the challenge of drawing caricatures for 24 hours non-stop in order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that builds homes for the less fortunate. Peter completed 952 sketches(素描) during the time. The event raised $ 6, 000 through donations and his accomplishment earned him a mention in the Singapore Book of Records.可知去年12月，他接受了24小时不间断地画漫画的挑战，目的是为“人类家园”筹集资金。“人类家园”是一家为穷人建造房屋的非营利组织。彼得完成952素描期间。这次活动通过捐款筹集了6000美元，他的成就也让他被载入了《新加坡记录》。由此可知，Peter在24小时内画了952幅素描，以筹集很多钱。故选D。
C
When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously（同时的）about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech，we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.
8. While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because they
A. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friends
B. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same time
C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships
D. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands
9. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to .
A. experience the happy time again B. keep a close tie with her
C. recommend her a new scenic spot D. remind her of something forgotten
10. What does the author want to tell us most
A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and communication
B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Women Are Socially Trained to Talk B. Talking Maintains Relationships
C. Women Love to Talk D. Men Talk Differently from Women
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文从男女看电视的反应开始谈男女注意力、性格等差异，进而说明女人爱聊天的原因，作者并从生理学角度剖析了女人喜欢聊天的生理因素。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships—not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen. 可知，此外，女性认为所有人聚在一起的目的是为了玩得开心，发展关系——而不是像电视迷那样坐在那里盯着屏幕。所以女人们会谈论是因为她们觉得这样可以很愉快并且同时能搞好关系。故选 C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding.可知，男人把电话看作是向别人传递事实和信息的一种交流工具，而女人则把电话看作是联系感情的一种方式，她是想要借此来维持两人之间紧密的关系。所以和女性朋友度假后，一个女人会再和她通几个小时的电话，以便和她保持密切联系。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据 Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. 可知，由于女孩的大脑更有组织地发送和接收语言信息，因此我们会更多地与她们交谈。由此判断出女性的大脑更适合语言和交流。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，短文从男女看电视的反应开始谈男女注意力、性格等差异，进而说明女人爱聊天的原因，作者并从生理学角度剖析了女人喜欢聊天的生理因素。所以短文的最佳标题为“女人喜欢聊天”故选C。
D
Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.
To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.
Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.
12. Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1
A. To lead to the topic of this passage.
B. To complain about imperfect life.
C. To show common problems in life.
D. To encourage people to change the outside world.
13. How does the author prove his opinion
A. By giving examples. B. By doing an experiment.
C. By telling a related story. D. By comparing other people’s opinions.
14. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. To step out of negative emotions.
B. To pay attention to our internal world.
C. To share our real emotions with others.
D. To use different methods to change bad emotions.
15. What does the author want to express through the passage
A. Our external world matters a lot.
B. Our emotions can affect our health.
C. Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.
D. Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章作者通过做实验的方式证明他的观点——我们的内在模式真正决定了我们的情绪。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第一段The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.（问题是，并不是外部世界阻止你体验和平、爱和快乐。相反，阻碍你的是你自己的内在模式。）由此可知作者在第一段中提到这些例子，是为了引出这篇文章的主题，故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第二段To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences.（为了证明这一点，在我的周末课程中，我让学生们看我桌上的一朵花。然后我请他们分享他们的感受。）由此推断出作者通过做实验的方式证明他的观点，故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state.（下次，当你遇到不好的事情时，请看看你的内心状态。）由此可知，作者在最后一段建议我们关注我们的内心世界，故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.（问题是，并不是外部世界阻止你体验和平、爱和快乐。相反，阻碍你的是你自己的内在模式。）是全文的主题句，可知作者通过这篇文章说明我们的内在模式真正决定了我们的情绪，故选C。
【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。小题2，答案定位在第二段To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences.（为了证明这一点，在我的周末课程中，我让学生们看我桌上的一朵花。然后我请他们分享他们的感受。）由此推断出作者通过做实验的方式证明他的观点，故选B。

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To some extent, the world’s knowledge is all at our fingertips.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语，时态和主谓一致。“在某种程度上”是固定短语to some extent，“某人能随时了解某物”主系表结构，sth. be all at one’s fingertips，由“我们”可知，one’s用our，“全世界的知识”是the world’s knowledge，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语knowledge是不可数名词，因此be动词用is，因此整句话翻译为“To some extent, the world’s knowledge is all at our fingertips”。故答案为To some extent, the world’s knowledge is all at our fingertips.
57. 我突然想到他的房子在地震中受损严重。（occur, damage）（汉译英）
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It occurred to me that his house had suffered severe damage in the earthquake.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型，主语从句和时态。“我突然想到”是固定句型It occurrs/occurred to me that...，其中it是形式主语，that引导主语从句，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，occur用过去式，“他的房子”是his house，“受损严重”是suffer severe damage，“受损严重”发生在“突然想到”之前，因此用过去完成时，即had suffered severe damage，“在地震中”是in the earthquake。故答案为It occurred to me that his house had suffered severe damage in the earthquake.
58. 让她宽慰的是，他在事故中幸免于难。（relief, survive）（汉译英）
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To her relief, he survived the accident.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】If you refer to Hawaii, images of blue oceans may immediately spring to mind.
【解析】
【详解】考查条件状语从句，时态，主谓一致，情态动词和固定短语。“如果你提到夏威夷”用if引导的条件状语从句，“提到”是refer to，用一般现在时表将来，主语是you，refer用原形，“夏威夷”是Hawaii，“……的景象”是image of，image要用复数，“蓝色海洋”是blue ocean，ocean要用复数，“可能”用may，是情态动词，其后跟动词原形，“立刻”是immediately，“浮现在脑海中”是spring to mind，spring用原形。故答案为If you refer to Hawaii, images of blue oceans may immediately spring to mind.
60. 有人问她时，她确认了她将要退休。（状语从句中省略，confirm）（汉译英）
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When asked, she confirmed that she was going to retire.
【解析】
【详解】考查时间状语从句，时态，语态，主谓一致，宾语从句和省略。“有人问她时”用when引导的时间状语从句，“有人问她时”也就是“当她被问时”，“问”是ask，她是被问，句子描述过去的事情，因此用一般过去时的被动语态，主语she是单数，因此when引导的从句是when she was asked，时间状语从句中主语和主句的主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句中的主语和be动词，因此“有人问她时”是when asked，“确认”是confirm，作主句谓语动词，其后跟that引导的宾语从句，描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，confirm用过去式，“将要”是be going to do，句子时态用过去将来时，主语she是单数，因此be动词用was，“退休”是retire，因此整句话翻译为“When asked, she confirmed that she was going to retire”。故答案为When asked, she confirmed that she was going to retire.

Everyone has unique needs and preferences, and individual sleep requirements are no different. However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age.
Official recommendations for the length of a person’s sleep are broken down by age group:
Older adults (65+): 7–8 hours
Adults (18–64 years): 7–9 hours
Teenagers (14–17 years): 8–10 hours
School children (6–13 years): 9–11 hours
Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours (including naps)
Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours (including naps)
Infants (4–12 months): 12–15 hours (including naps)
Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours
However some people might need more or less sleep than is generally recommended, depending on the following factors.
Genetic makeup
Your genetics are an important factor in how many hours of sleep you need per night.
For example, those with one specific genetic mutation (基因突变) need only around 6 hours, whereas people without it require about 8 hours, on average.
Sleep quality
The quality of your sleep can also affect how much you need.
If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.
Therefore, it’s not only important to focus on sleeping long enough but also on sleeping well enough. If you often feel like you aren’t sleeping well or are extremely tired and don’t know why, it’s a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider.
1. What is the main reason for the amount of sleep we need per night
A. Sleep quality. B. Genetics. C. Our age. D. Our eating habits.
2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A. All the school children need to sleep for 9 to 11 hours.
B. If you feel tired, please consult your healthcare provider.
C. Those with genetic mutation only need to sleep around 6 hours.
D. Due to poor sleep quality, you feel tired though you’ve slept enough.
3. Where does this passage most probably come from
A. A travel brochure. B. A health magazine.
C. A fashion website. D. A sports newspaper.

When Peter Zhuo was a kid, he could barely hold pencil properly. He'd either wrap all his fingers around it or hold it uncomfortably between his middle and fourth finger. Through practice he managed to get it right when he was about eight. Now at 23, not only can he use a pencil competently, he's using it to change the world, one stroke at a time.
Peter—who goes by the name Peter Draw felt the desire to draw with a purpose after meeting Daniel, a teenager with cerebral palsy(脑瘫), in November 2006. When Daniel first joined Peter's drawing class at the Spastic Children's Association of Singapore, Peter doubted if Daniel could even complete a drawing. But stroke by stroke the then 17-year-old did.
"His passion for drawing really touched me. I felt I should do more with my drawing and help children at the same time," says Peter, who has since taken on some mega projects to raise awareness for his cause.
Last October, he earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for drawing the world's largest caricature(人物漫画). His 360-square-metre drawing of Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan is twice the size of the previous record. Peter completed it in just three-and-a-half hours while the previous record-holder took three days.
And in December, he took on the challenge of drawing caricatures for 24 hours non-stop in order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that builds homes for the less fortunate. Peter completed 952 sketches(素描) during the time. The event raised $ 6, 000 through donations and his accomplishment earned him a mention in the Singapore Book of Records.
4. When Peter was a kid, .
A. he had difficulty using his pencil B. he was unable to write a word
C. his fingers were flexible D. he couldn't practice writing
5. After Peter met Daniel, he intended to .
A. learn drawing like Daniel B. help children through his drawing
C. become an action actor like Jackie Chan D. win a place in the Guinness Book of Records
6. The underlined word “mega” in Paragraph 3 may mean .
A. profitable B. impressive C. interesting D. scary
7. What do we know about Peter
A. He donated$6,000 to build houses for the poor.
B. He drew the world’s largest caricature in three days.
C. He raised a lot of money for Daniel to treat his disease.
D. He drew 952 sketches in 24 hours to raise a lot of money.
C
When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously（同时的）about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech，we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.

Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.
To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers’ gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.
Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you don’t realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people aren’t taught that emotion is a choice. And they aren’t taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world.
12. Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1
A. To lead to the topic of this passage.
B. To complain about imperfect life.
C. To show common problems in life.
D. To encourage people to change the outside world.
13. How does the author prove his opinion
A. By giving examples. B. By doing an experiment.
C. By telling a related story. D. By comparing other people’s opinions.
14. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. To step out of negative emotions.
B. To pay attention to our internal world.
C. To share our real emotions with others.
D. To use different methods to change bad emotions.
15. What does the author want to express through the passage
A. Our external world matters a lot.
B. Our emotions can affect our health.
C. Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.
D. Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.
