Our tiny boat was ploughing through (费力穿过) the waves across the Indian Ocean and I was absolutely
freezing.The further we got from the shelter of the land, the more I thought how foolish I'd been to come along on
this trip.
The pilot of the boat looked almost 60 but, perhaps because of a lifetime on the open sea in the hot sun, was
very fit and strong.I was wondering how he managed to find his way.To me, it seemed difficult enough to
navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day.
So at least we were safe.But this was not what we had come along for.A look at the other divers' faces
suggested that now they were also doubtful that we'd ever get the chance to see a whale shark — these weather
conditions were totally unsuitable for diving! None of us spoke.It seemed too much of an effort.Then suddenly
the boatman stopped the engine.He said a few words in his own language to the diving instructor, who
immediately jumped up from his seat and told us to get ready to dive.
When I jumped into the grey sea, I was sure I wouldn't see anything.But then ...there it was! An enormous
whale shark, slowly swimming through the water.I couldn't believe my eyes — my first whale shark! I hardly
dared breathe — I was afraid my streams of bubbles (气泡) might scare the huge creature away.And the other
divers were equally awed.Slowly we approached this huge animal.It was swimming quite slowly and we were
able to swim with it, looking at the beautiful markings on its back.I was still holding my breath, telling myself
that this huge fish was harmless! Then I reached out and touched it, stroking (轻抚) its thick skin.It was amazing
how this giant suddenly gained speed — we watched it as it swam away from us, and a few moments later it was
gone.
4. While riding a tiny boat across the Indian Ocean, the author _____.
A. volunteered to act as a pilot
B. felt regret about his decision
C. enjoyed the beautiful sunshine
D. talked with other people happily
5. The author probably wanted to know how the boatman _____.
A. kept fit in his spare time
B. spent his life on the boat
C. navigated his boat at sea
D. communicated with others
6. What was the purpose of the author's trip
A. To see a whale shark.
B. To learn how to dive.
C. To swim the Indian Ocean.
D. To save underwater creatures.
7. How did the author feel after he jumped into the sea
A. Rather anxious and angry.
B. A little scared but excited.
C. Doubtful and disappointed.
D. A bit tired but later relaxed.
C
I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that
were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a
world of philosophy (哲学).
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people
who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them.
Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love
for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work
in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder
like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a
book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he
does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in
history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own
interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls
them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a
coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is
something we don’t have a lot of.
8. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author
A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner.
C. Jostein Gaarder. D. A college teacher.
9. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4
A. To compare Weiner with them.
B. To give examples of great works.
C. To praise their writing skills.
D. To help readers understand Weiner’s book.
10. What does the author like about The Socrates Express
A. Its views on history are well-presented.
B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C. It includes comments from readers.
D. It leaves an open ending.
11. What does the author think of Weiner’s book
A. Objective and plain.
B. Daring and ambitious.
C. Serious and hard to follow.
D. Humorous and straightforward.
D
Are you a good judge of character Can you make an accurate judgement of someone’s personality based only
on your first impression of them Interestingly, the answer lies as much in them as it does in you.
One of the first people to try to identify good judges of character was US psychologist Henry F Adams in 1927.
His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups — good judges of themselves and good judges of
others. Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then, but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two
clearly different types.
More on that in a moment, but first we need to define what a good judge of character is. Is it someone who ean
read personality or someone who can read emotion Those are two different skills. Emotions such as anger or joy or
sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs. Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these
signs, even in a stranger. As such, most of us are probably good judges of emotion.
In order to be a good judge of personality, however, there needs to be an interaction with the other person, and
that person needs to be a “good target”. “Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and useful signals to their
personality. So this means “the good judge” will only manifest when reading “good targets”. This is according to
Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled “Reassessing the good judge of personality” “We found consistent,
clear and strong evidence that the good judge does exist”, Rogers and Biesanz concluded. But their key finding is
that the good judge does not have magical gifts of perception — they are simply able to “detect and use the
information provided by the good target”.
So, are first impressions really accurate Well, if you’re a good judge talking to a “good target”, then it seems
the answer is “yes”. And now we know that good judges probably do exist, more research can be done into how they
read personality, what kind of people they are — and whether their skills can be taught.
12. What can we learn about Adams from Paragraph 2
A. He is a good judge of character.
B. He divided psychologists into two groups.
C. His research result has been widely accepted.
D. His research on good judges was partially right.
13. What does the author think of emotion reading
A. Annoying. B. Joyful.
C. Simple. D. Strange.
14. Which of the following would Rogers and Biesanz agree with
A. A good target is necessary for personality judgement.
B. A good target needs to get his personality reassessed.
C. A good judge can provide useful signals to our personality.
D. A good judge uses the information given by a good target simply.
15. What will the author most probably talk about next
A. The skills of good judges.
B. The features of good judges.
C. The ways to read personality.
D. The accuracy of first impressions.

The English word “garden” gives an entirely wrong idea of the Chinese yuan, for “garden” suggests a lawn and
an infinite _______36_______ (vary) of flowers, altogether too prim (呆板的) and tidy to suit Chinese taste. The
Chinese yuan suggests first of all a wild landscape, perhaps better arranged and more artistically ____37____ (plan)

human structures like pavilions and long winding corridors, so _______38_______ (perfect) belonging to the

disorderliness. There are no even-cut bushes or symmetric (对称的) rows lining avenues as if in battle formation.

_______42_______ continual series of surprises and astonishments. With wooden framework _______43_______
(bear) most of the weight of the house, windows, doors and walls are not restricted to certain locations. The essential
idea of interior (室内的) decoration is the beauty of simplicity. Home designs are not something fancy we buy from

give it. It is only when the spirit of leisure and loving care exists _______45_______ living at home can become
an art and a pleasure.

When things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good. And
he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David
got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied
hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby
told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up
the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel
was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.”
Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain , Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”
“A silver lining ” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff ” Ittleby felt
as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt
darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be The
class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on
the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to
say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.
注意：
1、续写词数应为 150 左右;

She picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers.

Our tiny boat was ploughing through (费力穿过) the waves across the Indian Ocean and I was absolutely
freezing.The further we got from the shelter of the land, the more I thought how foolish I'd been to come along on
this trip.
The pilot of the boat looked almost 60 but, perhaps because of a lifetime on the open sea in the hot sun, was
very fit and strong.I was wondering how he managed to find his way.To me, it seemed difficult enough to
navigate a boat without any electronic equipment even on a sunny day.
So at least we were safe.But this was not what we had come along for.A look at the other divers' faces
suggested that now they were also doubtful that we'd ever get the chance to see a whale shark — these weather
conditions were totally unsuitable for diving! None of us spoke.It seemed too much of an effort.Then suddenly
the boatman stopped the engine.He said a few words in his own language to the diving instructor, who
immediately jumped up from his seat and told us to get ready to dive.
When I jumped into the grey sea, I was sure I wouldn't see anything.But then ...there it was! An enormous
whale shark, slowly swimming through the water.I couldn't believe my eyes — my first whale shark! I hardly
dared breathe — I was afraid my streams of bubbles (气泡) might scare the huge creature away.And the other
divers were equally awed.Slowly we approached this huge animal.It was swimming quite slowly and we were
able to swim with it, looking at the beautiful markings on its back.I was still holding my breath, telling myself
that this huge fish was harmless! Then I reached out and touched it, stroking (轻抚) its thick skin.It was amazing
how this giant suddenly gained speed — we watched it as it swam away from us, and a few moments later it was
gone.
4. While riding a tiny boat across the Indian Ocean, the author _____.

I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It was full of ideas that
were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me and brought me into a
world of philosophy (哲学).
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people
who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you — and then try to explain them.
Eric Weiner’s The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love
for philosophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher’s work
in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder
like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like Nietzsche. This, more than a
book about understanding philosophy, is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences, and he
does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in
history, and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding (解读) their messages and adding his own
interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls
them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weiner wants you to pick up a
coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It’s worth your time, even if time is
something we don’t have a lot of.
8. Who opened the door to philosophy for the author
A. Foucault. B. Eric Weiner.
C. Jostein Gaarder. D. A college teacher.
9. Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4
A. To compare Weiner with them.
B. To give examples of great works.
C. To praise their writing skills.
D. To help readers understand Weiner’s book.
10. What does the author like about The Socrates Express
A. Its views on history are well-presented.
B. Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C. It includes comments from readers.
D. It leaves an open ending.
11. What does the author think of Weiner’s book
A. Objective and plain.
B. Daring and ambitious.
C. Serious and hard to follow.
D. Humorous and straightforward.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者在 13 岁时开始喜欢哲学，随后 Weiner 的书 The Socrates Express 唤起了作
者对哲学的热爱。文章通过介绍了 The Socrates Express 这本书，倡导读者花时间去读这本书。
【8 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World. It
was full of ideas that were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me
and brought me into a world of philosophy(哲学).(我 13 岁的时候，一个叔叔给了我一本 Jostein Gaarder 的
《 Sophie 的世界》。书里面的观点对我来说都很新奇，所以我整个夏天都在钻研那本书。它对我说话，把
我带入一个哲学的世界。)”可知，Jostein Gaarder 为作者打开了通往哲学的大门。故选 C。
【9 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Weiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then
frames each philosopher’s work in the context (背景) of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a
read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no regrets like
Nietzsche. (Weiner 在每一章的开头都描述了一个城市之间火车旅行的场景，然后将每一位哲学家的著作框
定在一个他们能够帮助我们做得更好的事情上。最终的结果是，我们学会了像苏格拉底一样思考，像梭罗
一样看，像叔本华一样听，像尼采一样没有遗憾。)”可知，作者在第四段开头描写了 Weiner 书的内容，
接着作者通过列举了几位伟大的哲学家来描写读完这本书后我们能从中学到的东西，由此可推知，作者列
举了几位伟大的哲学家是为了帮助读者理解 Weiners 的书。故选 D。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“This, more than a book about undestanding philosophy, is a book abour learning to
use philosophy to improve a life.(这不仅仅是一本关于理解哲学的书，更是一本关于学习运用哲学来改善生
活的书。)”可知，作者喜欢 The Socrates Express 这本书，是因为它的思想可以应用到日常生活中。故选
B。
【11 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“He makes philosopical thought an appealing exercise that improves the
quality of our experiences, and he does so with plenty of humor.(他使哲学思想成为一种有吸引力的练习，可以
提高我们经验的质量，而且他在做这件事的时候充满了幽默感。)”可知，Weiners 的书很幽默，根据最后
一段中“The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually
pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. (The Socrates Express 是一本有趣而尖锐的书，它
以其表面上的简单吸引着读者，并逐渐将他们拉进对欲望、孤独和衰老的深层思考中。)”可知，Weiners
的书简单易懂，由此可知，Weiners 的书既幽默又简单易懂。故选 D。

D
Are you a good judge of character Can you make an accurate judgement of someone’s personality based only
on your first impression of them Interestingly, the answer lies as much in them as it does in you.
One of the first people to try to identify good judges of character was US psychologist Henry F Adams in 1927.
His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups — good judges of themselves and good judges of
others. Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then, but he wasn’t entirely wrong about there being two
clearly different types.
More on that in a moment, but first we need to define what a good judge of character is. Is it someone who ean
read personality or someone who can read emotion Those are two different skills. Emotions such as anger or joy or
sadness can generate easily identifiable physical signs. Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these
signs, even in a stranger. As such, most of us are probably good judges of emotion.
In order to be a good judge of personality, however, there needs to be an interaction with the other person, and
that person needs to be a “good target”. “Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and useful signals to their
personality. So this means “the good judge” will only manifest when reading “good targets”. This is according to
Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled “Reassessing the good judge of personality” “We found consistent,
clear and strong evidence that the good judge does exist”, Rogers and Biesanz concluded. But their key finding is
that the good judge does not have magical gifts of perception — they are simply able to “detect and use the
information provided by the good target”.
So, are first impressions really accurate Well, if you’re a good judge talking to a “good target”, then it seems
the answer is “yes”. And now we know that good judges probably do exist, more research can be done into how they
read personality, what kind of people they are — and whether their skills can be taught.
12. What can we learn about Adams from Paragraph 2
A. He is a good judge of character.
B. He divided psychologists into two groups.
C. His research result has been widely accepted.
D. His research on good judges was partially right.
13. What does the author think of emotion reading
A. Annoying. B. Joyful.
C. Simple. D. Strange.
14. Which of the following would Rogers and Biesanz agree with
A. A good target is necessary for personality judgement.
B. A good target needs to get his personality reassessed.
C. A good judge can provide useful signals to our personality.
D. A good judge uses the information given by a good target simply.
15. What will the author most probably talk about next
A. The skills of good judges.
B. The features of good judges.
C. The ways to read personality.
D. The accuracy of first impressions.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍人们可以判断情绪或性格。研究表明，优秀的性格判断者确实存在，
他们能够读懂对方发出的信号，并做出正确的判断。
【12 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“His research led him to conclude that people fell into two groups — good judges of
themselves and good judges of others. Adams’s research has been widely criticized since then, but he wasn’t entirely
wrong about there being two clearly different types.(他的研究使他得出结论，人可以分为两类：善于判断自己和
善于判断他人。从那以后，亚当斯的研究受到了广泛的批评，但他认为存在两种明显不同的类型并不是完
全错误的)”可知，他的研究成果虽然备受批评，但是对优秀判断者的划分并非完全错误，部分是正确的。
故选 D 项。
【13 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Emotions such as anger or joy or sadness can generate easily identifiable physical
signs. Most of us would probably be able to accurately identify these signs, even in a stranger.(愤怒、快乐或悲伤
等情绪可以产生很容易识别的身体信号。我们大多数人可能都能准确地识别出这些迹象，即使是在陌生人
身上)”可推知，作者认为情绪判断非常简单。故选 C 项。
【14 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In order to be a good judge of personality, however, there needs to be an interaction
with the other person, and that person needs to be a ‘good target’. ‘Good targets” are people who reveal relevant and
useful signals to their personality. So this means “the good judge’ will only manifest when reading ‘good targets’.
This is according to Rogers and Biesanz in their 2019 journal entitled ‘Reassessing the good judge of personality’(然
而，要想很好地判断性格，就需要与他人进行互动，而那个人需要成为一个“好的目标”。“好目标”指的
是那些能透露出与其个性相关的有用信号的人。所以这意味着“好判断者”只会在解读“好目标”时表现
出来。这是根据罗杰斯和比桑兹在 2019 年题为《重新评估良好的人格判断》的期刊上发表的观点)”可知，
罗杰斯和比桑兹认为一个优秀判断者需要有与之相匹配的“好目标”才能表现出来，由此推知，他们都会
赞同“一个‘好的目标’是人格判断的必要条件”这一观点。故选 A 项。
【15 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And now we know that good judges probably do exist, more research can be done
into how they read personality, what kind of people they are — and whether their skills can be taught.(现在我们知
道，好的判断者可能确实存在，更多的研究可以用来研究他们如何解读性格，他们是什么样的人，以及他
们的技能是否可以教授)”可推知，接下来需要了解优秀判断者如何进行判断的，他们的性格特点，他们的
技巧是否可以传承等，这些都是判断者的特点，也下接下要谈论的内容。故选 B 项。

阅读下面短文， 在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The English word “garden” gives an entirely wrong idea of the Chinese yuan, for “garden” suggests a lawn and
an infinite _______36_______ (vary) of flowers, altogether too prim (呆板的) and tidy to suit Chinese taste. The
Chinese yuan suggests first of all a wild landscape, perhaps better arranged and more artistically ____37____ (plan)
than nature, but still a bit of nature itself, with trees, creeks, and flowers. Dotted in this natural landscape are the
human structures like pavilions and long winding corridors, so _______38_______ (perfect) belonging to the
scenery as to become a whole with it. The Chinese garden _______39_______ (characterize) by studied
disorderliness. There are no even-cut bushes or symmetric (对称的) rows lining avenues as if in battle formation.
No Chinese mansion allows an outsider _______40_______ (look) through theiron gates at along drive, for
that would be against the principle of concealment. _______41_______ (face) the gate, we see a small courtyard
giving no idea of the expansiveness of space inside, and leading one step by step into newer views, in
_______42_______ continual series of surprises and astonishments. With wooden framework _______43_______
(bear) most of the weight of the house, windows, doors and walls are not restricted to certain locations. The essential
idea of interior (室内的) decoration is the beauty of simplicity. Home designs are not something fancy we buy from
a first-class firm. What distinguishes a home _______44_______ a public building is the personal touch that we
give it. It is only when the spirit of leisure and loving care exists _______45_______ living at home can become
an art and a pleasure.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍中国“园”的特色。
【36 题详解】
考查名词。句意：英文单词“garden”给人一种完全错误的“园”概念，因为“garden（花园）”表示草
坪和各种各样的花。分析句子可知，冠词 an 后面应填可数名词单数形式。故填 variety。
【37 题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：中文“园”首先意味着一个野生的景观，也许比大自然安排得更好，规划得更艺术，
但仍然是大自然本身的一部分，有树木、小溪和花朵。分析句子可知，这里考查非谓语，a wild landscape
与 plan 为被动关系，再由句意可知，这里应用过去分词作状语。故填 planned。

融为一体。分析句子可知，此空应填副词修饰后面动词。故填 perfectly。
【39 题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：中国园林的特点是刻意杂乱无章。分析句子可知，此空应填谓语动词，The Chinese
garden 与 characterize 为被动关系，且由上下文可知，这里时态应用一般现在时。故填 is characterized。
【40 题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：任何一座中国的豪宅都不允许外人从大门往外看，因为这违反了隐蔽的原则。分析句
子可知，这里考查 allow sb to do sth，表“允许某人做某事”，为固定搭配。故填 to look。
【41 题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：面对大门，我们看到一个小小的庭院，丝毫不知道里面空间的广阔，一步一步地进入
新的视野，在一系列的惊喜和惊喜中。分析句子可知，这里考查非谓语，we 与 face 为主动关系，再由句
意可知，这里应用现在分词作状语，且句首时首字母应大写。故填 Facing。

考查冠词。句意：面对大门，我们看到一个小小的庭院，丝毫不知道里面空间的广阔，一步一步地进入新
的视野，在一系列的惊喜和惊喜中。分析句子可知，这里考查 a series of 表“一系列”，为固定搭配。故填
a。
【43 题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：木框架承担了房子的大部分重量，窗户、门和墙壁不局限于某些位置。分析句子可

故填 bearing。

distinguish.......from 表“区分”，为固定搭配。故填 from。

he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David
got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied
hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby
told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up
the books.
