As most of you know, the first year of university is always the hardest to adapt to. The addition of taking care of yourself, making new friends, learning how to get around campus, and school can sometimes be too much to bear.
I would like to attend medical school after my four-year undergraduate. It is well-known that medical schools are very competitive and require extremely high marks. I had always known that I was meant for medical school and worked hard all throughout high school. I engaged in life sciences and knew that I wanted to do a double major in neuroscience (神经科学) and psychology, but of course, I wasn’t so fond of the preconditions to get to that stage. I had to take math and physics in my first year.
So after the choke I call the first term, I looked back on my grades and found that I had never seen numbers like this before. I really didn’t even think they were possible. I had heard that medical schools liked to see an upward trend, so I was discouraged and hurt, but tried not to think about it. Having your grades taken away from you when that was all you had was a huge thing I had to overcome — I defined my worth by how “smart” I was and getting past that mindset was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
After I saw my grades, I realized the mistake I made taking a bunch of unnecessarily challenging courses. At the end of my second term, my grades weren’t as high as I wanted them to be, but I accepted it. I knew that there were reasons for the differences between individuals, but I still saw a huge improvement in my marks from the first term. I had enjoyed my time in my second term and even though I wasn’t where I wanted to be, it had nothing to do with my place in the university. It was very eye-opening and taught me what I needed to do in order to achieve MY best — not what everyone else considered to be the best.
I’m now taking a summer school course and my marks are incredibly better than what I was getting during my first year of school. Though I had a rough start, I’m sure my lessons and new attitude will carry me much farther than just to medical school.
24. The author wanted to take a double major because she ______.
A. liked the two majors better
B. was preparing herself for her goal
C. tried to prove her academic ability
D. decided to challenge herself in university
25. How did the author feel when reviewing her grades after the first term
A. Satisfied. B. Surprised. C. Calm. D. Angry.
26. In the second term the author ______.
A accepted the grades and did nothing
B. tried to learn more necessary courses
C. viewed learning from a different angle
D. focused on learning medical knowledge
27. What can we learn from this passage
A. A fresh start leads to more challenges.
B. Hard work will pay off sooner or later.
C. Stick to your plan and you will succeed.
D. Proper adjustment will take you farther.
C
Growing up, I felt that I learned some things quickly and other things painfully slowly. Picking up French and Spanish seemed to come naturally, while painting and drawing required a lot of practice. I thought that some people just have a talent for languages; others don’t.
You’ve probably felt the same way — that certain things were easier for you to learn. And so did my research partners. So we set out to identify what makes some people learn faster than others. If we could just distill (提取) these unique (独特的) characteristics, we thought, we would be able to create better learning environments — and make everyone a fast learner.
In our study, we model data from student performance on groups of tasks that assess (评估) the same skill component and that provide follow-up instructions on student errors. Our models estimate the increase in correctness after each practice opportunity. We applied our models to 1.3 million observations across 27 datasets of student interactions with online practice systems in the context of elementary to college courses. In contrast, and much to our surprise, we found students to be astonishingly similar in estimated learning rate. There are no such things as fast and slow learners!
We find that a typical student needs about seven learning opportunities to master a typical knowledge component(组件) . They start at different levels of proficiency(熟练)but, when provided with high-quality practice opportunities, they learn at about the same speed. Yes, they will end in different places — but that’s because they have different starting lines, not because they are quicker or slower to learn.
That means the types of opportunities you get are important. Detailed, timely feedback and hints provide favorable conditions that allow you to consistently make progress, regardless of where you began.
Don’t think you’re alone if learning feels slow and effortful. Do try, try again. You can make as much progress as everyone else—and so can the young people in your life. Achievement gaps are the result of opportunity gaps, not individual differences in learning speed.
28. What is the author’s previous thought according to the first two paragraphs
A. He can’t learn painting and drawing.
B. All people have a talent for languages.
C. People learn things in the same way.
D. People have different learning speeds.
29. What did the researchers do in the research
A. Teach elementary courses.
B. Criticize students’ mistakes.
C. Apply their models extensively.
D Distinguish the fast and slow learners.
30. What is the best title of the text
A. There Is No Such Things as a Fast Learner
B. How We Can Learn Faster than Others
C. There Is No Difference Between Students
D. Why Education Is Important to Us
D
Search “toxic parents”, and you’ll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one’s mental health from abusive parents. However, as a psychoanalyst, I’ve seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (疏远) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.
Research by Karl Pillemer a professor at Cornell University, indicates that 1 in 4 American adults have become estranged from their families. I believe that’s an undercount, because others have stopped short of completely cutting off contact but have effectively broken the ties.
“Canceling” your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Certainly the family is one system in which power has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi warned that even the simple indication that someone has more power than we do could potentially be damaging.
Today’s social justice values respond to this reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have-themselves-to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain only deepens.
Often, what I see in my practice are cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend; situations with no winners, only isolated (孤独的) humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of the other.
The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesn’t matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is “being left”. They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try.
What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust How else can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.
To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It can’t be a single project of “self-help”, because at the end of the day, real intimacy (亲密关系) is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement—and it’s worth the work.
31. Why do young people cut ties with the family
A. To gain an independent life.
B. To restore harmony in the family.
C. To protect their psychological well-being.
D. To follow a tendency towards social justice.
32. What does the underlined word “catch” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Response. B. Problem. C. Operation. D. Emphasis.
33. To manage family conflict, the author agrees that young adults should .
A. break down boundaries B. gain power within the family
C. live up to their parents’ expectations D. accept imperfection of family members
34. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To advocate a self-help trend. B. To justify a common social value.
C. To argue against a current practice. D. To discuss a means of communication.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
“Is the glass half empty or half full ” This old English saying has long been used to differentiate a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success. ____35____ Recent studies indicate that it all depends.
There is such a thing as too much positivity, also known as toxic positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. ____36____ The death of a pet, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. ____37____
____38____ Imagine having had a bad day and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and to “look on the bright side.” By saying such things, they give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Moreover, since you don’t have the right “attitude,” your problems are ultimately your own fault.
That being said, nobody likes to be around depressed people. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. ____39____. Given everything I have already said, my simple advice to you is to do that which gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill.
A. However, is being negative necessarily a bad thing
B. This makes you human, and your true friends will always stick by you.
C. But actually, it is normal for us to experience a range of emotions in a day.
D. And this is why I would want to write about staying positive in these difficult times.
E. Evidence suggests that overly positive people are at a higher risk of developing psychological problems.
F. Aside from the personal emotional impacts of toxic positivity, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you.
G. But with everything that has been going on both at home and abroad, it’s probably felt to you like a continuous struggle to remain positive.
第三部分 书面表达 （共两节，32分）
第一节
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。
Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone
If you answer “yes” to any of the questions, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms (症状) are a strong desire to text messages, which takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young．
So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.
40. What is a textaholic
______________________________
41. What causes a person to be a textaholic

42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
To cure text addiction, individuals should refuse to respond to messages and spend quality time with friends and family.

Growing up, I felt that I learned some things quickly and other things painfully slowly. Picking up French and Spanish seemed to come naturally, while painting and drawing required a lot of practice. I thought that some people just have a talent for languages; others don’t.
You’ve probably felt the same way — that certain things were easier for you to learn. And so did my research partners. So we set out to identify what makes some people learn faster than others. If we could just distill (提取) these unique (独特的) characteristics, we thought, we would be able to create better learning environments — and make everyone a fast learner.
In our study, we model data from student performance on groups of tasks that assess (评估) the same skill component and that provide follow-up instructions on student errors. Our models estimate the increase in correctness after each practice opportunity. We applied our models to 1.3 million observations across 27 datasets of student interactions with online practice systems in the context of elementary to college courses. In contrast, and much to our surprise, we found students to be astonishingly similar in estimated learning rate. There are no such things as fast and slow learners!
We find that a typical student needs about seven learning opportunities to master a typical knowledge component(组件) . They start at different levels of proficiency(熟练)but, when provided with high-quality practice opportunities, they learn at about the same speed. Yes, they will end in different places — but that’s because they have different starting lines, not because they are quicker or slower to learn.
That means the types of opportunities you get are important. Detailed, timely feedback and hints provide favorable conditions that allow you to consistently make progress, regardless of where you began.
Don’t think you’re alone if learning feels slow and effortful. Do try, try again. You can make as much progress as everyone else—and so can the young people in your life. Achievement gaps are the result of opportunity gaps, not individual differences in learning speed.
28. What is the author’s previous thought according to the first two paragraphs
A. He can’t learn painting and drawing.
B. All people have a talent for languages.
C. People learn things in the same way.

A. Teach elementary courses.

D
Search “toxic parents”, and you’ll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one’s mental health from abusive parents. However, as a psychoanalyst, I’ve seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (疏远) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.
Research by Karl Pillemer, a professor at Cornell University, indicates that 1 in 4 American adults have become estranged from their families. I believe that’s an undercount, because others have stopped short of completely cutting off contact but have effectively broken the ties.
“Canceling” your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Certainly the family is one system in which power has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi warned that even the simple indication that someone has more power than we do could potentially be damaging.
Today’s social justice values respond to this reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have-themselves-to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain only deepens.
Often, what I see in my practice are cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend; situations with no winners, only isolated (孤独的) humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of the other.
The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesn’t matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is “being left”. They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try.
What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust How else can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.
To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It can’t be a single project of “self-help”, because at the end of the day, real intimacy (亲密关系) is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement—and it’s worth the work.
31. Why do young people cut ties with the family
A. To gain an independent life.
B. To restore harmony in the family.
C. To protect their psychological well-being.
D. To follow a tendency towards social justice.
32. What does the underlined word “catch” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Response. B. Problem. C. Operation. D. Emphasis.
33. To manage family conflict, the author agrees that young adults should .
A. break down boundaries B. gain power within the family
C live up to their parents’ expectations D. accept imperfection of family members
34. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To advocate a self-help trend. B. To justify a common social value.
C. To argue against a current practice. D. To discuss a means of communication.

“Is the glass half empty or half full ” This old English saying has long been used to differentiate a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success. ____35____ Recent studies indicate that it all depends.
There is such a thing as too much positivity also known as toxic positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. ____36____ The death of a pet, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. ____37____
____38____ Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and to “look on the bright side.” By saying such things, they give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Moreover, since you don’t have the right “attitude,” your problems are ultimately your own fault.
That being said, nobody likes to be around depressed people. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. ____39____. Given everything I have already said, my simple advice to you is to do that which gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill.

D. And this is why I would want to write about staying positive in these difficult times.
E. Evidence suggests that overly positive people are at a higher risk of developing psychological problems.
F. Aside from the personal emotional impacts of toxic positivity, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you.

As most of you know, the first year of university is always the hardest to adapt to. The addition of taking care of yourself, making new friends, learning how to get around campus, and school can sometimes be too much to bear.
I would like to attend medical school after my four-year undergraduate. It is well-known that medical schools are very competitive and require extremely high marks. I had always known that I was meant for medical school and worked hard all throughout high school. I engaged in life sciences and knew that I wanted to do a double major in neuroscience (神经科学) and psychology, but of course, I wasn’t so fond of the preconditions to get to that stage. I had to take math and physics in my first year.
So after the choke I call the first term, I looked back on my grades and found that I had never seen numbers like this before. I really didn’t even think they were possible. I had heard that medical schools liked to see an upward trend, so I was discouraged and hurt, but tried not to think about it. Having your grades taken away from you when that was all you had was a huge thing I had to overcome — I defined my worth by how “smart” I was and getting past that mindset was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
After I saw my grades, I realized the mistake I made taking a bunch of unnecessarily challenging courses. At the end of my second term, my grades weren’t as high as I wanted them to be, but I accepted it. I knew that there were reasons for the differences between individuals, but I still saw a huge improvement in my marks from the first term. I had enjoyed my time in my second term and even though I wasn’t where I wanted to be, it had nothing to do with my place in the university. It was very eye-opening and taught me what I needed to do in order to achieve MY best — not what everyone else considered to be the best.
I’m now taking a summer school course and my marks are incredibly better than what I was getting during my first year of school. Though I had a rough start, I’m sure my lessons and new attitude will carry me much farther than just to medical school.
24. The author wanted to take a double major because she ______.
A. liked the two majors better
B. was preparing herself for her goal
C. tried to prove her academic ability
D. decided to challenge herself in university
25. How did the author feel when reviewing her grades after the first term

As most of you know, the first year of university is always the hardest to adapt to. The addition of taking care of yourself, making new friends, learning how to get around campus, and school can sometimes be too much to bear.
I would like to attend medical school after my four-year undergraduate. It is well-known that medical schools are very competitive and require extremely high marks. I had always known that I was meant for medical school and worked hard all throughout high school. I engaged in life sciences and knew that I wanted to do a double major in neuroscience (神经科学) and psychology, but of course, I wasn’t so fond of the preconditions to get to that stage. I had to take math and physics in my first year.
So after the choke I call the first term, I looked back on my grades and found that I had never seen numbers like this before. I really didn’t even think they were possible. I had heard that medical schools liked to see an upward trend, so I was discouraged and hurt, but tried not to think about it. Having your grades taken away from you when that was all you had was a huge thing I had to overcome — I defined my worth by how “smart” I was and getting past that mindset was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
After I saw my grades, I realized the mistake I made taking a bunch of unnecessarily challenging courses. At the end of my second term, my grades weren’t as high as I wanted them to be, but I accepted it. I knew that there were reasons for the differences between individuals, but I still saw a huge improvement in my marks from the first term. I had enjoyed my time in my second term and even though I wasn’t where I wanted to be, it had nothing to do with my place in the university. It was very eye-opening and taught me what I needed to do in order to achieve MY best — not what everyone else considered to be the best.
I’m now taking a summer school course and my marks are incredibly better than what I was getting during my first year of school. Though I had a rough start, I’m sure my lessons and new attitude will carry me much farther than just to medical school.
24. The author wanted to take a double major because she ______.
A. liked the two majors better
B. was preparing herself for her goal
C. tried to prove her academic ability
D. decided to challenge herself in university
25. How did the author feel when reviewing her grades after the first term
A. Satisfied. B. Surprised. C. Calm. D. Angry.
26. In the second term, the author ______.
A. accepted the grades and did nothing
B. tried to learn more necessary courses
C. viewed learning from a different angle
D. focused on learning medical knowledge
27. What can we learn from this passage
A. A fresh start leads to more challenges.
B. Hard work will pay off sooner or later.
C. Stick to your plan and you will succeed.
D. Proper adjustment will take you farther.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. D
C
Growing up, I felt that I learned some things quickly and other things painfully slowly. Picking up French and Spanish seemed to come naturally, while painting and drawing required a lot of practice. I thought that some people just have a talent for languages; others don’t.
You’ve probably felt the same way — that certain things were easier for you to learn. And so did my research partners. So we set out to identify what makes some people learn faster than others. If we could just distill (提取) these unique (独特的) characteristics, we thought, we would be able to create better learning environments — and make everyone a fast learner.
In our study, we model data from student performance on groups of tasks that assess (评估) the same skill component and that provide follow-up instructions on student errors. Our models estimate the increase in correctness after each practice opportunity. We applied our models to 1.3 million observations across 27 datasets of student interactions with online practice systems in the context of elementary to college courses. In contrast, and much to our surprise, we found students to be astonishingly similar in estimated learning rate. There are no such things as fast and slow learners!
We find that a typical student needs about seven learning opportunities to master a typical knowledge component(组件) . They start at different levels of proficiency(熟练)but, when provided with high-quality practice opportunities, they learn at about the same speed. Yes, they will end in different places — but that’s because they have different starting lines, not because they are quicker or slower to learn.
That means the types of opportunities you get are important. Detailed, timely feedback and hints provide favorable conditions that allow you to consistently make progress, regardless of where you began.
Don’t think you’re alone if learning feels slow and effortful. Do try, try again. You can make as much progress as everyone else—and so can the young people in your life. Achievement gaps are the result of opportunity gaps, not individual differences in learning speed.
28. What is the author’s previous thought according to the first two paragraphs
A. He can’t learn painting and drawing.
B. All people have a talent for languages.
C. People learn things in the same way.
D. People have different learning speeds.
29. What did the researchers do in the research
A. Teach elementary courses.
B. Criticize students’ mistakes.
C. Apply their models extensively.
D. Distinguish the fast and slow learners.
30. What is the best title of the text
A. There Is No Such Things as a Fast Learner
B. How We Can Learn Faster than Others
C. There Is No Difference Between Students
D. Why Education Is Important to Us
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A
D
Search “toxic parents”, and you’ll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one’s mental health from abusive parents. However, as a psychoanalyst, I’ve seen that trend in recent years become a way to manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (疏远) has on both sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.
Research by Karl Pillemer, a professor at Cornell University, indicates that 1 in 4 American adults have become estranged from their families. I believe that’s an undercount, because others have stopped short of completely cutting off contact but have effectively broken the ties.
“Canceling” your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Certainly the family is one system in which power has never been balanced. In 1933, the psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi warned that even the simple indication that someone has more power than we do could potentially be damaging.
Today’s social justice values respond to this reality, calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have-themselves-to gain a sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain only deepens.
Often, what I see in my practice are cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend; situations with no winners, only isolated (孤独的) humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of the other.
The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesn’t matter who is doing the leaving; the feeling that remains is “being left”. They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try.
What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How else can one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust How else can we love others, and ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human Good relationships are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.
To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It can’t be a single project of “self-help”, because at the end of the day, real intimacy (亲密关系) is achieved by working through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and preferable to estrangement—and it’s worth the work.
31. Why do young people cut ties with the family
A. To gain an independent life.
B. To restore harmony in the family.
C. To protect their psychological well-being.
D. To follow a tendency towards social justice.
32. What does the underlined word “catch” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Response. B. Problem. C. Operation. D. Emphasis.
33. To manage family conflict, the author agrees that young adults should .
A. break down boundaries B. gain power within the family
C live up to their parents’ expectations D. accept imperfection of family members
34. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To advocate a self-help trend. B. To justify a common social value.
C. To argue against a current practice. D. To discuss a means of communication.
【答案】31. C 32. B 33. D 34. C

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
“Is the glass half empty or half full ” This old English saying has long been used to differentiate a pessimist from an optimist. For most young people today, the answer is usually “half full”, because we have been taught that a positive attitude towards life is one of the primary keys to success. ____35____ Recent studies indicate that it all depends.
There is such a thing as too much positivity also known as toxic positivity. It happens when someone remains in a happy and positive state and ignores any bad and negative emotions across all situations. ____36____ The death of a pet, a low score on a test, or a mountain of new homework should lead to emotions such as sadness, frustration and anger. If we hide these emotions just because we want to look optimistic in front of our friends and family, they can build up inside of us and end up erupting in unexpected ways. ____37____
____38____ Imagine having had a bad day, and wanting to talk about it with your friend. However, instead of listening to your problems and sympathizing with you, they simply told you to “be positive” and to “look on the bright side.” By saying such things, they give you the impression that your problems are being completely ignored. Moreover, since you don’t have the right “attitude,” your problems are ultimately your own fault.
That being said, nobody likes to be around depressed people. Just take everything as it comes and express how you really feel. ____39____. Given everything I have already said, my simple advice to you is to do that which gives you the best “attitude” in life, whatever for you that might be. Regardless of whether a glass is half-empty or half-full, it nonetheless still has space to fill.
A. However, is being negative necessarily a bad thing
B. This makes you human, and your true friends will always stick by you.
C. But actually, it is normal for us to experience a range of emotions in a day.
D. And this is why I would want to write about staying positive in these difficult times.
E. Evidence suggests that overly positive people are at a higher risk of developing psychological problems.
F. Aside from the personal emotional impacts of toxic positivity, this attitude can also have a negative effect on the people around you.
G. But with everything that has been going on both at home and abroad, it’s probably felt to you like a continuous struggle to remain positive.
【答案】35. A 36. C 37. E 38. F 39. B

Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone
If you answer “yes” to any of the questions, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms (症状) are a strong desire to text messages, which takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young．
So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages.
