A
You need to be at the office by 8 o'clock, but instead, you're sitting in your car and stuck in a traffic jam due to unexpected construction. Or perhaps you're trying to assemble (组装) a bookcase believing it should be a simple task. Surprise! You realize you used the wrong screws in one section and now have to admit that it's much more difficult than you thought.
It makes perfect sense that you might feel frustrated in these scenes. But if that is your reaction, just how frustrated might you become “Frustration tolerance (挫折承受力)” refers to our ability to tolerate frustration, which might differ from person to person. With a low tolerance, we're quick to feel frustrated and feel it intensely. By contrast, some of us are able to live a life in accord with the old song, “Que sera, sera”—whatever will be, will be.
The pressure of frustration may lead us to simply give up on achieving a goal. And, all too often, it is low frustration tolerance that inhibits curiosity as well as our attempts to learn new skills even when we do have an interest in doing so.
Unfortunately, each time we simply give up in the face of frustration, we strengthen our tendency to give up. All too often, holding back in the face of frustration only strengthens a weakened sense of self, an internal script that we are incompetent. While this reaction may at times be a response to frustration, when frequent and pervasive, it may contribute to depression.
However, having a low tolerance for frustration is not simply a permanent character flaw (缺陷). It is a challenge that can be addressed by developing increased self-awareness, mindfulness and the patience and commitment to learning to pause when we do become frustrated. And even when we experience frustration, it's helpful to remember—it can lead to positive outcomes that move us toward new learning and innovation. When this happens, we can become more flexible when facing life's challenges—including a traffic jam and assembling a bookcase.
11.How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A.By giving examples. B.By giving definitions.
C.By raising questions. D.By making comparisons.
12.Which of the following can best reflect the theme of the song “Que sera, sera”
A.What pains us trains us.
B.Let nature take its course.
C.You win because you think you can.
D.A fall into the pit, a gain in your wisdom.
13.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Frustration makes us give up easily.
B.Frustration is responsible for depression.
C.Frustration does harm to our mental health.
D.Frustration contributes to various diseases.
14.What can we learn about low tolerance for frustration from the last paragraph
A.It is a character by nature. B.It can be improved with practice.
C.It is a permanent shortcoming. D.It needs dealing with straight away.
【答案与解析】
人们遇到不如意的事情时很容易沮丧,而挫折承受力低虽然有各种危害,但通过努力可以得到改善。
11.A 根据第1段可知,作者举了两个例子(遇到交通堵塞和组装书架受挫),来引出本文的话题。
12.B 根据第2段可知,如果挫折承受力低,我们很快就会感到沮丧,而且感觉很强烈。相比之下,一些人能够按照歌曲“Que sera, sera”的方式生活——会发生的事,怎么都会发生。因此, B项“顺其自然”最可能是这首歌的主题。
13.C 根据第4段可知,沮丧会加深我们想要放弃的倾向,我们因此而否定自己,甚至可能抑郁,这些都不利于我们的心理健康。
14.B 根据最后一段可知,挫折承受力低并不是一个永久性的性格缺陷。人们可以通过提高自我意识、专注力、耐心等来提高对挫折的承受力。
B
Soaring 360 meters into the sky, the Trbovlje Power Station in Slovenia is home to Europe's tallest chimney. Just the mere sight of it is enough to make most tremble at the knees but two Slovenian climbers saw it as a chance of a lifetime.
In October, Janja Garnbret and Domen kofic became the first people to free climb the chimney's new route which is now the tallest artificial multi-pitch route in the world. The pair, who had just a rope to catch them if they fell, were successful at their second attempt after over seven hours of climbing. Despite their expertise, the challenge was still way out of their comfort zone. This route, however, contained 13 pitches (or sections) and involved rope techniques that differed from what they were normally used to, which was a real endurance test for the two climbers.
Their first attempt took nearly 12 hours and both climbers fell on a number of pitches. However, the pair regrouped and went again four days later, successfully climbing the chimney in seven hours and 32 minutes. Reaching the top after such a challenging climb is a feeling that neither will forget in a hurry. “It definitely helps you grow as a person,” Garnbret told CNN Sport. “It really helps because I'm a person who is always looking for a challenge, who always wants to do something new, to do something better.” “When I think back now, I remember how uncomfortable it felt, how it was hot, it was cold, it was windy, it was everything,” Garnbret added.
In addition to being an exhausting physical challenge, both agreed that it tested their mental capacity just as much.
15.What does the underlined phrase “tremble at the knees” in paragraph 1 imply
A.The chimney is extremely tall.
B.It is very cold in the power station.
C.The climbers are suffering from knees pain.
D.The wind is extremely strong.
16.How long did it take the two climbers to complete the climbing at the second attempt
A.More than a day. B.More than 13 hours.
C.Nearly 12 hours. D.About 7 and a half hours.
17.Which word can best describe the two climbers
A.Honest. B.Adventurous.
C.Responsible. D.Creative.
18.Where can we read the text
A.In a science magazine. B.In a geography book.
C.On a news network. D.In a travel brochure.
【答案与解析】
两位善于挑战的攀岩者成功爬上欧洲最高的烟囱。
15.A 根据第1段的第1句可知,360米高耸入云的烟囱让人望而生畏。
16.D 根据第3段第2句可知,他们花了大约7个半小时爬上烟囱顶部。
17.B Janja Garnbret和Domen kofic是第一批成功爬上欧洲最高烟囱的人,可知他们是很有冒险精神的人。
18.C 根据全文内容可推知这是一篇新闻报道,在新闻网上可以看到这篇文章。

答案:
One possible version:
The development of science and technology brings many new products which make our life more comfortable and convenient. The smart phone is a good example, which has been widely used in daily life.
The smart phone brings many advantages to my life. I have been used to listening to English and watching documentaries. Of course, I sometimes use it to relax myself. I listen to music and chat with my friends on it. I don't think using my smart phone for fun will influence me as long as I can keep the balance between study and entertainment.周测卷四 Unit 2 Looking into the future
