Family plays an important part in much fiction, of course, but sometimes the short story form has offered us an insight into family life that the longer novel does not. Here are some for you to taste.
Prelude, by Katherine Mansfield
Prelude is one of Katherine Mansfield's longest and finest short stories. Because Prelude is a modernist short story, the emphasis is on characters rather than plots. Mansfield is using the Burnells’ house-move, and the period when they are busy settling into their new home, as a situation to observe family, women and class.
He, by Katherine Anne Porter
Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980) wrote just one novel and fewer than thirty short stories, yet she is regarded as an important twentieth-century American writer, with He among her most celebrated and critically praised works. An important theme of Porter’s work is the search for meaning in a modern and increasingly materialist world.
Signs and Symbols, by Vladimir Nabokov
It is a short story by the Russian-American author Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), originally published in the New Yorker in 1948. The story centers on an elderly married Russian couple who move to the United States; their son is suffering from paranoid delusions (妄想症) and has been limited to a care center. Signs and Symbols focuses on the couple’s attempt to visit their son and its result.
Down at the Dinghy, by J. D. Salinger
This short story was originally published in 1949. It involves an adult speaking to a child. It is about a young boy who runs from home and goes down to the nearby lake, where he gets into a boat and refuses to speak to his mother. The story ends with the mother bonding with her son.
21. What is special about Prelude
A. It’s about scientific observation. B. It’s the longest of the four.
C. It involves moving to a new place. D. It focuses more on figures than plots.
22. What do we know about Katherine Anne Porter and Vladimir Nabokov
A. They are contemporary writers. B. Their works center on critical thinking.
C. They both seek for meaning in modern life. D. Their works were published in the New Yorker.
23. Who are the target readers of the text
A. Science fiction fans. B. Family-based short story lovers.
C. Those who plan to be writers. D. People trying to have a family.
【答案】21. D 22. A 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四部与家庭生活主题相关的短篇小说。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Prelude, by Katherine Mansfield部分中的“Because Prelude is a modernist short story, the emphasis is on characters rather than plots.(因为《前奏》是一部现代主义短篇小说，所以重点是人物而不是情节。)”可知，它是一部现代主义的短篇小说，所以它更强调的是人物而不是情节。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据He, by Katherine Anne Porter部分中的“Katherine Anne Porter (1890—1980)(凯瑟琳·安妮·波特(1890-1980))”和Signs and Symbols, by Vladimir Nabokov部分中的“It is a short story by the Russian-American author Vladimir Nabokov (1899—1977)(这是俄裔美国作家弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫(1899-1977)的短篇小说)”可知，这两位作家大约是同一时代的人。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Family plays an important part in much fiction, of course, but sometimes the short story form has offered us an insight into family life that the longer novel does not. Here are some for you to taste.(当然，家庭在许多小说中扮演着重要的角色，但有时短篇小说的形式能让我们深入了解家庭生活，这是长篇小说所不能做到的。这里有一些供你品味)”可知，文章主要介绍了四部关于家庭生活的小说。由此可推断出，喜欢家庭主题短篇小说的人是本文的目标读者。故选B。
B
Exploring the Grand Canyon is an exciting experience at any age. For more experienced adventurers, the iconic rim (边缘)-to-rim hike provides awe-inspiring views and unforgettable memories. For one man, it also means breaking a record. At 92 years old, Alfredo Aliaga has become the oldest person to complete the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim hike.
The 24-mile trek (跋涉) is no easy job. Less than 1% of Grand Canyon visitors have completed it, and even park rangers (护林员) recommend training for at least a year before attempting to accomplish it. Aliaga, an experienced hiker who has crossed the Grand Canyon multiple times, prepared for it by walking for three hours every day around his home in Berlin.
Aliaga first trekked the Grand Canyon alongside his wife, with whom he shared his love for hikes and nature. After she died from ALS in 2006, he once again returned to the Grand Canyon. Since then, he has returned to the Grand Canyon so many times to remember his wife.
Before his latest attempt, his son-in-law, Jurgen Buchenau, made a Facebook post to look out for trekkers to help the family keep records of this history-making hike. “We’d love to document what we hope will be an awesome achievement. Alfredo last completed a R2R last year when he was 91 and has been hiking in the canyon five times in the last four years, so he’s going to be ready for this!”
On October 15, after hiking for 21 hours split over two days, Aliaga completed this massive achievement. “Alfredo did it!” Jurgen wrote on Facebook. “At 4 p.m. this afternoon, he climbed out of the canyon at the Bright Angel trailhead, super satisfied and excited to have become the oldest person on record to have crossed the canyon rim to rim at age 92.”
24. Why did Aliaga decide to do the rim-to-rim hike again
A. To break a record. B. To challenge himself.
C. To recall his mate. D. To become a celebrity.
25. What did Jurgen Buchenau do for Aliaga
A. He made a plan for the hike. B. He offered medical support.
C. He helped Aliaga train for the hike. D. He asked other hikers for assistance.
26 How did Aliaga feel after completing the rim-to-rim hike
A. Proud. B. Confident. C. Surprised. D. Calm.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Exploring the Grand Canyon B. Breaking a Record at 92
C. An Adventurous Woman D. The Rim-to-rim Hike
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了92岁的Alfredo Aliaga成为完成大峡谷rim-to-rim徒步旅行的最年长的人。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since then, he has returned to the Grand Canyon so many times to remember his wife.(从那以后，他多次回到大峡谷纪念他的妻子)”可知，Aliaga决定再次徒步旅行是为了几年他的伴侣。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Before his latest attempt, his son-in-law, Jurgen Buchenau, made a Facebook post to look out for trekkers to help the family keep records of this history-making hike.(在他最近一次尝试之前，他的女婿Jurgen Buchenau在Facebook上发了一篇帖子，呼吁寻找徒步旅行者帮助他的家人记录这次历史性的徒步旅行)”可知，Jurgen Buchenau向其他徒步者求助，帮助Aliaga记录他的这次徒步旅行，故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“At 4 p.m. this afternoon, he climbed out of the canyon at the Bright Angel trailhead, super satisfied and excited to have become the oldest person on record to have crossed the canyon rim to rim at age 92.(今天下午4点，他从光明天使步道的起点爬出峡谷，非常满意和兴奋，因为他92岁，成为了有记录以来最年长的穿越峡谷边缘的人)”可知，Alfredo Aliaga成为完成大峡谷rim-to-rim徒步旅行的最年长的人，他感觉无比自豪，故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“At 92 years old, Alfredo Aliaga has become the oldest person to complete the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim hike.(92岁的Alfredo Aliaga成为完成大峡谷环行的最年长的人)”可知，文章主要讲述了92岁的Alfredo Aliaga成为完成大峡谷rim-to-rim徒步旅行的最年长的人。B项“92岁时打破一项记录”为最佳标题，故选B。

A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Six healthy lifestyle aspects were assessed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive (认知的) activity, never smoking, and never drinking alcohol,” the researchers explained in the new study. Participants were classified (分类) into the favorable group if they had four to six healthy lifestyle factors, into the average group for two to three factors, and into the unfavorable group for zero to one factor.
The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.
The study didn’t figure out which of the six healthy habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.
About 20% of the people in the study had a gene that makes Alzheimer’s disease more likely. Even so, having several good health habits helped slow down memory loss. This shows that changing how we live can really help.
Even though each health habit helped in a different way, overall, the study found that people with more good health habits had much less memory loss than those with fewer good habits. This suggests that the choices we make in how we live can help protect our memory. The study adds to the evidence that we might be able to change our risk of memory loss.
28. What were the groups categorized based on
A. The participants’ age. B. What hobbies the participants got rid of.
C. The healthy lifestyles the participants had. D. What the participants’ attitudes to factors were.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The favorable group was happier than the other two.
B. More healthy lifestyles were of more benefit to health.
C. Healthy habits had little impact on memory or dementia.
D. People with a healthy diet wouldn’t suffer a loss of memory.
30. Which plays the second greatest role in reducing memory loss
A. A healthy diet. B. Active social contact.
C Active cognitive activities. D. Never drinking alcohol.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Healthy Lifestyles Slowing Memory Loss B. A Study Making A Great Breakthrough
C. A Healthy Diet Being The Best Lifestyle D. Old Adults Suffering From Health Problems
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章介绍了一项长期的研究结果发现健康生活方式对老年人记忆力减退和痴呆风险的影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.(一项对近3万名老年人进行了10多年跟踪调查的研究发现，六种关键的健康生活方式因素可以显著减少记忆丧失，那些拥有四到六种健康生活方式行为的成年人可以显著降低患痴呆症的风险，即使他们携带有增加患阿尔茨海默病风险的基因)”可知，分类的依据是参与者的健康生活方式。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.(研究发现，拥有四到六个健康习惯的人比那些没有健康习惯的人记忆力衰退的速度要慢得多。拥有这些好习惯的人也比那些只有一个或没有健康习惯的人更不容易患痴呆症。那些有两到三个好习惯的人患痴呆症的可能性要低30%)”可知，更健康的生活方式对健康更有益。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The study didn’t figure out which of the six health y habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.(这项研究并没有弄清楚这六种健康习惯中哪一种对预防痴呆症最好，或者哪种组合最好。然而，这些信息确实表明，健康饮食似乎最有助于防止记忆丧失，大脑锻炼和定期体育锻炼也很有帮助)”可知，在减少记忆丧失方面起着第二重要的作用是大脑锻炼和定期体育锻炼，也就是积极的认知活动。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.(一项对近3万名老年人进行了10多年跟踪调查的研究发现，六种关键的健康生活方式因素可以显著减少记忆丧失，那些拥有四到六种健康生活方式行为的成年人可以显著降低患痴呆症的风险，即使他们携带有增加患阿尔茨海默病风险的基因)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了健康的生活方式对老年人记忆力减退和痴呆风险的影响，所以A项“Healthy Lifestyles Slowing Memory Loss(健康的生活方式减缓记忆丧失)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。
D
I recently had a conversation with a friend who was feeling very upset about work. Why He thought his manager didn’t like him. He rarely heard much from his manager, and when his manager said something, it was about correcting some aspects of his work or giving him some constructive advice.
Not surprisingly, given my friend’s understandably anxious view of these workplace dynamics (动态), he was afraid of his annual performance evaluation. He was worried that his boss might even tell him that he wasn’t needed anymore. Accordingly, he considered looking around for another job — not because he really wanted to, as he liked the kind of work he was doing, but because he suffered from the kind of management.
The evaluation day came, and to his great surprise, rather than being harshly critical, his manager told him that he was doing a fine job and gave him a promotion.
The sad truth is, this kind of phenomenon is by no means unusual in the workplace. One recent survey showed that nearly half of the employees have considered leaving a job “due to lack of recognition”. Another similar study found 46 percent of the employees left a job “because they felt unappreciated”.
The good news is that, in this case, the damage was repaired before it was too late — before my friend was out the door and his company began the expensive and time-consuming process of hiring a new employee. But as the research noted above shows, workplace problems related to recognition and appreciation are as common as the office air we breathe.
This conforms with my personal experience; during my decades of corporate management, I saw similar appreciation issues all the time. When a job isn’t done well, nobody deserves anything, of course. But when a job is done well, if you’re an employee, it’s entirely natural to expect at least a bit of appreciation. So if you’re a manager, it’s a good idea to show some. It’s that simple.
32. What phenomenon does the author want to describe through his friend’s case
A. Unclear rewards and punishments. B. Employee-management misunderstanding.
C. Unfair promotion in the workplace. D. Fierce competition among new employees.
33. What happened to the author’s friend in the end
A. His company hired a new employee.
B. He continued to work for the company.
C. His company simplified the evaluation process.
D. He repaired the relationship with his colleagues.
34. What does the underlined phrase “conforms with” in the last paragraph mean
A. Results from. B. Separates from.
C. Agrees with. D. Contrasts with.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Defend employees’ rights. B. A friend’s unforgettable experience.
C. Acknowledge employees’ work. D. Misunderstanding between employees.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过一个朋友的故事指出：与认可和欣赏有关的工作问题是很常见的离职原因，而作为管理者，最好在该向员工表示认可和欣赏的时候就表示一下。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。通读前三段，尤其是第一段中的“He thought his manager didn’t like him.(他认为他的经理不喜欢他)”和第三段中的“to his great surprise, rather than being harshly critical, his manager told him that he was doing a fine job and gave him a promotion(令他非常惊讶的是，他的经理没有严厉批评他，而是告诉他他做得很好，并给他升职)”可知，作者的朋友最近一直对工作感到很沮丧，他以为经理不喜欢他，因为他很少听到经理的认可或欣赏，每次经理对他说的都是指正或建议，这让他萌生了离职的想法，因为他深受这种管理模式的折磨，但最终令他惊讶的是，经理在评估日告诉他他的工作做得很好，并且给他升职了。由此可推测出，作者通过朋友的事情想要讲述的是员工管理误解这种现象。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The evaluation day came, and to his great surprise, rather than being harshly critical, his manager told him that he was doing a fine job and gave him a promotion.(评估日来了，令他非常惊讶的是，他的经理没有严厉批评他，而是告诉他他做得很好，并给了他升职)”和“The good news is that, in this case, the damage was repaired before it was too late — before my friend was out the door and his company began the expensive and time-consuming process of hiring a new employee.(好消息是，在这种情况下，损坏在为时已晚之前得到了修复——在我的朋友离开并且他的公司开始昂贵而耗时的雇佣新员工的过程之前)”可知，作者的朋友继续在这家公司工作。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“during my decades of corporate management, I saw similar appreciation issues all the time(在我几十年的企业管理生涯中，我一直看到类似的欣赏问题)”可知，作者在自己数十年的企业管理生涯中见到过类似的问题，而This指代的是前文中的“workplace problems related to recognition and appreciation are as common as the office air we breathe(与认可和欣赏有关的工作场所问题与我们呼吸的办公室空气一样常见)”这件事。由此可推测出，这里是说这种认可和欣赏问题很常见，这符合作者的个人经历，conform with意为“与……相符”，与agree with意思相近。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者通过一个朋友的事情引入话题，结合第五段中的“workplace problems related to recognition and appreciation are as common as the office air we breathe(与认可和欣赏有关的工作场所问题与我们呼吸的办公室空气一样常见)”可知，本文主要讲述了与认可和欣赏有关的工作问题是很常见的离职原因，并且作者在最后一段提出建议，根据最后一段中的“But when a job is done well, if you’re an employee, it’s entirely natural to expect at least a bit of appreciation. So if you’re a manager, it’s a good idea to show some. It’ s that simple.(但是，当一项工作做得很好时，如果你是一名员工，那么期待至少一点欣赏是完全自然的。所以，如果你是一名经理，展示一下是个好主意。就这么简单)”可知，作者建议管理者向员工表达一些欣赏，认可员工的工作。由此可知，C项“认可员工的工作”最适合作本文标题。故选C。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Michael Leviton grew up with a strict code of honesty — where truth meant not just avoiding lies. His family believed that it was important to reveal what was on your mind. If someone asked, “How are you ” the moral response was to say exactly how you were feeling and not brush the question off with a “fine” or “good.” ___36___ .
The consequences of that kind of honesty, however, were often complicated outside the family home.
In elementary school, teachers didn't know how to respond to him, Leviton recalled. They'd call him brave for not crying after a fall, but Leviton would accuse them of lying. “Usually, I found teachers would flee (迅速离开),” said Leviton. “There was no script for how to talk to a five-year-old who refuses to let them say he's brave.” ___37___. Leviton would accuse his teachers of unfairly targeting black kids, but those same kids, while grateful he defended them, found his bluntness (直率) awkward.
___38___. If a potential employer asked him about his flaws, Leviton would spare no detail. He was incapable of creating a flattering (讨人喜欢的) portrayal of himself. “I'd be like, ‘I'm trying to get my first job here. I don't know what I'm gonna be doing in five years,'” he recalled. “They would just be like, ‘Okay! All right. Next question.'”
Gradually, Leviton came to realize that constantly revealing his true feelings could have negative impacts. ___39___. He began to reply “fine” when people asked him how he was doing. When he got into arguments, instead of asking for an apology, he'd try to pretend it didn't happen. “I had to just shut up about certain things and be nice and positive and grateful, even if I didn't feel that way.” ___40___ — with just a bit of polite lying and better timing with the truth.
A. Today Leviton said that his life is better
B. Other children also found him hard to be around
C. This would happen multiple times within the same week
D. Pretending you were happy when you weren't was a kind of lie
E. As an adult, Leviton's complete honesty could ruin job interviews
F. He wanted someone honest and found his way of thinking refreshing
G. He sought to become a little less honest and learn to hide his feelings
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. E 39. G 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了Michael Leviton生长在一个对于诚实有着严格要求的家庭，导致他在小学时和工作的时候遇到了一些麻烦，因此渐渐地，他也变成了一个带有“礼貌性的谎言”的人。
【36题详解】
根据空前“His family believed that it was important to reveal what was on your mind. If someone asked, “How are you ” the moral response was to say exactly how you were feeling and not brush the question off with a “fine” or “good.”（他的家人认为说出你的真实想法很重要。如果有人问你“你感觉如何？”，正确的回答就是说出你的真实感觉，而不是只用“不错”或者“很好”来敷衍这个问题。）”可知，空前讲述了的家人对于诚实的要求很严格，就连别人随便的一句问候，都应如实回答，因此D项“当你感觉不太好的时候，回答感觉不错就是一种谎言”符合，D项中的“Pretending you were happy”与空前的问题“How are you ”相呼应，即使假装你很高兴也是撒谎，故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据空后“Leviton would accuse his teachers of unfairly targeting black kids, but those same kids, while grateful he defended them, found his bluntness (直率) awkward.（Leviton会指控他的老师不公平地对待黑人小孩，但是这些小孩尽管会因为他为他们辩护而感激他，但是他们同样也会因他的直率而感到难堪。）”可知，空后举例说明同学有时会因为他的直率而感到不舒适，故B项“其他孩子也发现很难与他在一起交朋友”符合，空后具体说明其他孩子对他的直率会感到不舒适，因此很难与他在一起，故选B项。
【38题详解】
根据空后“If a potential employer asked him about his flaws, Leviton would spare no detail.（如果一个潜在的老板问他关于他的缺点，他也会细细道来。）”可知，本句是E项“作为成年人，Leviton的彻底诚实可能会毁掉面试。”的顺义承接，空后具体说明是如何毁掉面试的，故选E项。
【39题详解】
根据空前“Gradually, Leviton came to realize that constantly revealing his true feelings could have negative impacts.（渐渐地，Leviton开始意识到，表达出自己的真实感受可能会带来消极影响。）”及空后“He began to reply “fine” when people asked him how he was doing.（当人们问他感觉如何时，他开始回复“不错”了。）”可知，空前他意识到了真实地表达自己会有消极影响，空后说明他发生了改变，故G项“他开始变得不那么诚实了，并且学会了隐藏自己的感受”符合，承接上文，因为意识到了有不好的结果，所以开始变得不那么诚实了，并且引出后文具体如何隐藏自己的感受，故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据空后“with just a bit of polite lying and better timing with the truth.（带有一点“礼貌性的谎言”以及选择在更好的时机说真话。）”可知，空后说明Leviton现在的状态，生活中不再时刻说真话，而是需要说的时候就说，不需要的时候，就礼貌性的回复一下，且此空谓语全文最后一句话，故A项“现在，Leviton说他的生活变得更好一些了”符合，放在全文末尾，总结Leviton的生活变得更好了，空后说明现在更好的生活具体是什么样的，故选A项。

Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now ” Mary grumbled (抱怨), mostly to herself.
“What’s that ” Her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Mary mumbled (嘟哝). The girl had been complaining about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed that the students hadn’t even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Mary’s parents were busy the whole day, welcoming customers into the restaurant, which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary’s age. As she filled their glasses, Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later, Mary’s mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out front with the customers.”

“Mom, I don’t want to be out there.” Mary frowned. Feeling Mary was in a bad mood, her mother asked her what was wrong in a soft voice. At that moment, Mary couldn’t help pouring out her troubles, “Without a friend, I’m isolated here.” Realizing she had ignored Mary’s feelings after the move, her mother held Mary in her arms, suggesting that she make new friends by taking action first. “Go and take them some cookies and say hello!” The instant Mary heard that, her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Mary put a handful of cookies into a small tray and left the kitchen. Nervous as she was, she plucked up courage to approach the table where the twins sat, placing the cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girls directly in the eyes, “Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant!” It was not until the twins looked up that they recognized her. The twins gave her a big hug. They offered to hang out with her and introduce her around to the other guys at school. “That would be awesome!”, Mary grinned.

A
Family plays an important part in much fiction, of course, but sometimes the short story form has offered us an insight into family life that the longer novel does not. Here are some for you to taste.
Prelude, by Katherine Mansfield
Prelude is one of Katherine Mansfield's longest and finest short stories. Because Prelude is a modernist short story, the emphasis is on characters rather than plots. Mansfield is using the Burnells’ house-move, and the period when they are busy settling into their new home, as a situation to observe family, women and class.
He, by Katherine Anne Porter
Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980) wrote just one novel and fewer than thirty short stories, yet she is regarded as an important twentieth-century American writer, with He among her most celebrated and critically praised works. An important theme of Porter’s work is the search for meaning in a modern and increasingly materialist world.
Signs and Symbols, by Vladimir Nabokov
It is a short story by the Russian-American author Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), originally published in the New Yorker in 1948. The story centers on an elderly married Russian couple who move to the United States; their son is suffering from paranoid delusions (妄想症) and has been limited to a care center. Signs and Symbols focuses on the couple’s attempt to visit their son and its result.
Down at the Dinghy, by J. D. Salinger
This short story was originally published in 1949. It involves an adult speaking to a child. It is about a young boy who runs from home and goes down to the nearby lake, where he gets into a boat and refuses to speak to his mother. The story ends with the mother bonding with her son.
21. What is special about Prelude
A. It’s about scientific observation. B. It’s the longest of the four.
C. It involves moving to a new place. D. It focuses more on figures than plots.

C. Those who plan to be writers. D. People trying to have a family.

Exploring the Grand Canyon is an exciting experience at any age. For more experienced adventurers, the iconic rim (边缘)-to-rim hike provides awe-inspiring views and unforgettable memories. For one man, it also means breaking a record. At 92 years old, Alfredo Aliaga has become the oldest person to complete the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim hike.
The 24-mile trek (跋涉) is no easy job. Less than 1% of Grand Canyon visitors have completed it, and even park rangers (护林员) recommend training for at least a year before attempting to accomplish it. Aliaga, an experienced hiker who has crossed the Grand Canyon multiple times, prepared for it by walking for three hours every day around his home in Berlin.
Aliaga first trekked the Grand Canyon alongside his wife, with whom he shared his love for hikes and nature. After she died from ALS in 2006, he once again returned to the Grand Canyon. Since then, he has returned to the Grand Canyon so many times to remember his wife.
Before his latest attempt, his son-in-law, Jurgen Buchenau, made a Facebook post to look out for trekkers to help the family keep records of this history-making hike. “We’d love to document what we hope will be an awesome achievement. Alfredo last completed a R2R last year when he was 91 and has been hiking in the canyon five times in the last four years, so he’s going to be ready for this!”
On October 15, after hiking for 21 hours split over two days, Aliaga completed this massive achievement. “Alfredo did it!” Jurgen wrote on Facebook. “At 4 p.m. this afternoon, he climbed out of the canyon at the Bright Angel trailhead, super satisfied and excited to have become the oldest person on record to have crossed the canyon rim to rim at age 92.”
24. Why did Aliaga decide to do the rim-to-rim hike again
A. To break a record. B. To challenge himself.
C. To recall his mate. D. To become a celebrity.
25. What did Jurgen Buchenau do for Aliaga
A. He made a plan for the hike. B. He offered medical support.
C. He helped Aliaga train for the hike. D. He asked other hikers for assistance.
26. How did Aliaga feel after completing the rim-to-rim hike
A. Proud. B. Confident. C. Surprised. D. Calm.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Exploring the Grand Canyon B. Breaking a Record at 92
C. An Adventurous Woman D. The Rim-to-rim Hike
C
A study following nearly 30,000 older adults for more than 10 years has found six key healthy lifestyle factors can significantly reduce memory loss and those adults engaging in between four and six of the healthy lifestyle behaviors could dramatically reduce their risks of developing dementia (痴呆), even when carrying genes that increase their risks of Alzheimer’s disease.
“Six healthy lifestyle aspects were assessed: a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, active social contact, active cognitive (认知的) activity, never smoking, and never drinking alcohol,” the researchers explained in the new study. Participants were classified (分类) into the favorable group if they had four to six healthy lifestyle factors, into the average group for two to three factors, and into the unfavorable group for zero to one factor.
The study found that people with four to six healthy habits had a much slower loss of memory than those with fewer healthy habits. People with these good habits were also much less likely to get dementia than those with one or no healthy habits. Those who had two or three good habits were 30% less likely to get dementia.
The study didn’t figure out which of the six healthy habits is the best for stopping dementia or which combination is the best. However, the information did show that eating healthy seemed to help prevent memory loss the most, with brain exercise and regular physical exercise also very helpful.
About 20% of the people in the study had a gene that makes Alzheimer’s disease more likely. Even so, having several good health habits helped slow down memory loss. This shows that changing how we live can really help.
Even though each health habit helped in a different way, overall, the study found that people with more good health habits had much less memory loss than those with fewer good habits. This suggests that the choices we make in how we live can help protect our memory. The study adds to the evidence that we might be able to change our risk of memory loss.
28. What were the groups categorized based on
A. The participants’ age. B. What hobbies the participants got rid of.
C. The healthy lifestyles the participants had. D. What the participants’ attitudes to factors were.
29. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. The favorable group was happier than the other two.
B More healthy lifestyles were of more benefit to health.
C. Healthy habits had little impact on memory or dementia.
D. People with a healthy diet wouldn’t suffer a loss of memory.
30. Which plays the second greatest role in reducing memory loss
A. A healthy diet. B. Active social contact.
C. Active cognitive activities. D. Never drinking alcohol.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A Healthy Lifestyles Slowing Memory Loss B. A Study Making A Great Breakthrough
C. A Healthy Diet Being The Best Lifestyle D. Old Adults Suffering From Health Problems
D
I recently had a conversation with a friend who was feeling very upset about work. Why He thought his manager didn’t like him. He rarely heard much from his manager, and when his manager said something, it was about correcting some aspects of his work or giving him some constructive advice.
Not surprisingly, given my friend’s understandably anxious view of these workplace dynamics (动态), he was afraid of his annual performance evaluation. He was worried that his boss might even tell him that he wasn’t needed anymore. Accordingly, he considered looking around for another job — not because he really wanted to, as he liked the kind of work he was doing, but because he suffered from the kind of management.
The evaluation day came, and to his great surprise, rather than being harshly critical, his manager told him that he was doing a fine job and gave him a promotion.
The sad truth is, this kind of phenomenon is by no means unusual in the workplace. One recent survey showed that nearly half of the employees have considered leaving a job “due to lack of recognition”. Another similar study found 46 percent of the employees left a job “because they felt unappreciated”.
The good news is that, in this case, the damage was repaired before it was too late — before my friend was out the door and his company began the expensive and time-consuming process of hiring a new employee. But as the research noted above shows, workplace problems related to recognition and appreciation are as common as the office air we breathe.
This conforms with my personal experience; during my decades of corporate management, I saw similar appreciation issues all the time. When a job isn’t done well, nobody deserves anything, of course. But when a job is done well, if you’re an employee, it’s entirely natural to expect at least a bit of appreciation. So if you’re a manager, it’s a good idea to show some. It’s that simple.
32. What phenomenon does the author want to describe through his friend’s case
A. Unclear rewards and punishments. B. Employee-management misunderstanding.
C. Unfair promotion in the workplace. D. Fierce competition among new employees.
33. What happened to the author’s friend in the end
A. His company hired a new employee.
B. He continued to work for the company.
C. His company simplified the evaluation process.
D. He repaired the relationship with his colleagues.
34. What does the underlined phrase “conforms with” in the last paragraph mean
A. Results from. B. Separates from.
C Agrees with. D. Contrasts with.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Defend employees’ rights. B. A friend’s unforgettable experience.
C. Acknowledge employees’ work. D. Misunderstanding between employees.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Michael Leviton grew up with a strict code of honesty — where truth meant not just avoiding lies. His family believed that it was important to reveal what was on your mind. If someone asked, “How are you ” the moral response was to say exactly how you were feeling and not brush the question off with a “fine” or “good.” ___36___ .
The consequences of that kind of honesty, however, were often complicated outside the family home.
In elementary school, teachers didn't know how to respond to him, Leviton recalled. They'd call him brave for not crying after a fall, but Leviton would accuse them of lying. “Usually, I found teachers would flee (迅速离开),” said Leviton. “There was no script for how to talk to a five-year-old who refuses to let them say he's brave.” ___37___. Leviton would accuse his teachers of unfairly targeting black kids, but those same kids, while grateful he defended them, found his bluntness (直率) awkward.
___38___. If a potential employer asked him about his flaws, Leviton would spare no detail. He was incapable of creating a flattering (讨人喜欢的) portrayal of himself. “I'd be like, ‘I'm trying to get my first job here. I don't know what I'm gonna be doing in five years,'” he recalled. “They would just be like, ‘Okay! All right. Next question.'”
Gradually, Leviton came to realize that constantly revealing his true feelings could have negative impacts. ___39___. He began to reply “fine” when people asked him how he was doing. When he got into arguments, instead of asking for an apology, he'd try to pretend it didn't happen. “I had to just shut up about certain things and be nice and positive and grateful, even if I didn't feel that way.” ___40___ — with just a bit of polite lying and better timing with the truth.
A. Today Leviton said that his life is better
B. Other children also found him hard to be around
C. This would happen multiple times within the same week
D. Pretending you were happy when you weren't was a kind of lie
E. As an adult, Leviton's complete honesty could ruin job interviews
F. He wanted someone honest and found his way of thinking refreshing
G. He sought to become a little less honest and learn to hide his feelings

“What’s that ” Her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Mary mumbled (嘟哝). The girl had been complaining about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed that the students hadn’t even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening, Mary’s parents were busy the whole day, welcoming customers into the restaurant, which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary’s age. As she filled their glasses, Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later, Mary’s mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here We need you out front with the customers.”
