As a young girl, Ayshah grew up fascinated by the world of beauty.
She had a hole in her heart — a medical condition she was born with. Ayshah’s mother was especially protective of her because of her health condition, but encouraged her to pursue her dreams. When Ayshah finished high school, the most appealing option at her local technical college was training to become a make-up artist. So, she signed up for the three-year course.
While studying, Ayshah suffered the loss of her mother, which led the 21-year-old to become the primary supporter for her father, who was suffering from kidney failure, as well as for her younger sister and brother. “From that moment on, I knew I had to turn from being dependent to becoming stronger,” she says.
In three years, Ayshah completed her course at the technical college, along with her training. Then a friend told her about the opening of Roseyar, an Aramco initiative that supports local women by training and employing them at the rose factory in Taif, where she lives.
Taif is the heart of the rose-growing industry in western Saudi Arabia. Known as the Taif rose, these flowers are prized for their intense smell and are used by the world’s leading perfume makers. With nearly 900 rose farms, Taif has a centuries-old tradition of rose growing, and the roses are harvested to produce some of the world’s most expensive rose oil.
Ayshah joined Roseyar and trained as a production technician, using the oil of Taif roses to make cosmetic products. She reconnected with the cosmetic industry she loved as a child. “I truly love knowing that I am contributing to making something so beautiful,” she says.
The job at Roseyar has enabled Ayshah to meet her various responsibilities while being surrounded by the sweet smell of the Taif rose. “I’ve been able to balance having my medical treatment for my heart condition, supporting my family financially and providing for myself — I was even able to buy a car,” she says.
4．Why did Ayshah study at her local technical college
A．She had health problems. B．She had to look after her father.
C．She was able to learn what she loves. D．She was eager to earn a high income in the future.
5．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A．The Roseyar project. B．The Taif rose industry.
C．The production of perfumes. D．The characteristics of Taif roses.
6．Which of the following best describes Ayshah
A．Ambitious and responsible. B．Talented and determined.
C．Reliable and generous. D．Devoted and modest.
7．What does Ayshah think of her being part of Roseyar
A．It’s rewarding. B．It’s demanding.
C．It’s a stepping stone to her dream. D．It opens up new opportunities for her.
Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows.
In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes (电极) on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time. This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain.
With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.
“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.”
These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .
And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design,” Ruud says.
8．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research
A．They tested the function of electrodes. B．They analyzed the brain structure.
C．They monitored the brain activities. D．They recorded the writing speed.
9．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing
A．It involves more specific brain activation. B．It promotes better muscle memory.
C．It allows for more innovative thinking. D．It encourages better concentration.
10．What’s the author’s attitude toward typing
A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
11．What might be the best title for the text
A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in Class
B．Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its Convenience
C．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human Learning
D．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does
In 2009, Amy Rose and Alice Ferguson, two mothers living in Bristol, ran an experiment. They applied to shut a quarter-mile road to traffic for two hours after school — just to let the children who lived there play. They didn’t prepare games or activities to see what would happen to the children with time, space, and permission.
The results were breathtaking. The dozens of kids who showed up had no problem finding things to do: One little girl cycled up and down the street “3,000 times,” Rose recalled. “She was blissed out.” Suddenly, the modern approach to children’s play, in which parents transport their kids to playgrounds or other activities, seemed both needlessly extravagant (奢侈的) and wholly insufficient. Kids didn’t need special equipment or lessons; they just needed to get outside and be less reliant on their parents, who were trapped by the daily routine with children.
Nowadays, streets, where people used to sell goods and socialize, are commonly thought to serve only mobile purposes. After industrialization, streets were the primary location for children to play. Only when cars hit the streets in large numbers did society begin prioritizing the movement of motor vehicles over children and their playful behavior.
In 2011, Rose, Ferguson, and their friend Ingrid Skeels founded Playing Out to help residents set up play sessions. As with any other sort of play, the process takes work: getting support from neighbors, booking road closures in advance, etc. Organizers are also working against the headwinds of a society unaccustomed to children playing in the street. Some residents ask why the kids can’t just go to the park as they worry about the noise or what will happen to their cars.
On busier roads, play sessions always rely on people available to organize formal closures, while in communities where people lack the time and resources necessary for regular traffic closures, play streets don’t happen at all. But this upsetting situation may be the ultimate finding of Rose and Ferguson’s work: Truly restoring a culture of street play will require society to make much more far-reaching, permanent changes, which may sound upsetting but would improve the well-being of children and parents.
12．What does the underlined part “blissed out” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Quite bored. B．Pretty confused.
C．Extremely happy. D．Terribly worn-out.
13．What historical transformation led to the decline of street play among children
A．The rise of industrialization. B．The appearance of street markets.
C．The expansion of public parks. D．The increase in vehicles on streets.
14．Which of the following words can best describe Playing Out founders’ work
A．Creative. B．Challenging. C．Fascinating. D．Effective.
15．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Children’s playful behavior should be carefully controlled.
B．Every family should make efforts to help children play out.
C．Permanent changes should be made in how streets are used.
D．More parks should be built in working-class neighborhoods.
When faced with a big challenge, maybe you’ve heard this advice before: “Be more confident.” 16 Take the belief that you are valuable, worthwhile and capable, add in the optimism that comes when you are certain of your abilities, and then act courageously to face a challenge head-on. This is confidence.
Then where does confidence come from There are several factors that affect confidence. Firstly, what you’re born with, such as your genes. Secondly, how you’re treated. 17 And lastly, the part you have control over, the choices you make, the risks you take, and how you think about and respond to challenges and setbacks. And, by keeping in mind a few practical tips, we do actually have the power to cultivate our own confidence.
● Find a quick fix. 18 Picture your success when you’re beginning a difficult task. Do something as simple as listening to music with deep bass. You can even strike a powerful pose or give yourself a pep talk (鼓舞士气的话).
● 19 If you’re looking for a long-term change, consider the way you think about your abilities and talents. If you think they are fixed at birth, you might give up, assuming you’ve discovered something you’re not very good at. But if you have a growth mindset and think your abilities can improve, a challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow.
● Practice failure. Face it. You’re going to fail sometimes. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks in a constructive way. 20 .
A．Promote feelings of power.
B．But what is confidence
C．But how can we become confident
D．Believe in your ability to improve.
E．This includes the social pressures of your environment.
F．They learn how to try different strategies, ask others for advice, and carry on.
G．There are a few tricks that can give you an immediate confidence boost in the short term.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the tail end of the depression (大萧条), and things were tough. Mom had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC． My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake five years earlier — I still remember it as if it were yesterday.
Looking back, I realize what Mom went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our soles were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mom couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five dollar Christmas fund for social assistance. Mom said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.
Unknown to Mom, I had been selling Christmas trees to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They had a price of twenty-three dollars.
Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was very excited, as I hurried up the road to catch the bus. It was only half a mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized that at our house, we had nothing for Christmas. I knew then that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.
Suddenly, I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mom was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents. I stopped. The bus drove off without me, and I stood alone, but feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I changed my mind and I realized what I had to do.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写比打字更能增强大脑联系。
【解析】8．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time. (在这项研究中，挪威科技大学的心理学家奥黛丽和鲁德把电极贴在参与者的头上。他们要求参与者用数字笔打出或手写出现在电脑屏幕上的单词。帽子上的传感器记录了大脑的电活动。然后，心理学家们寻找两个大脑区域在同一时间以相同的电波频率活跃的情况。)”可知，Audrey和Ruud在研究中主要监测大脑活动。故选C。
9．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.(当研究小组比较这两项任务时，他们意识到手写——而不是打字——增加了大脑顶叶区域和中央区域之间的连通性，顶叶区域与感觉和运动处理有关，而中央区域中有许多与记忆有关。)”和后文“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says.“It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.” (奥黛丽说：“即使动作非常相似，手写的激活程度似乎也要高得多。”“这表明，当你书写时，这些大脑区域的参与程度更高，这可能会给你带来一些特殊的优势。”)”可知，手写比打字更能改善学习因为它涉及更具体的大脑激活。故选A。
10．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. (虽然手写可能有助于学习过程，但打字通常更容易、更快、更实用。)”可知，作者对打字的态度是客观的。故选B。
11．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，反复写同一个单词可能会让一些人回忆起不好的记忆，但手写可以增强大脑各区域的连通性，其中一些区域与学习和记忆有关。)”可知，文章主要介绍了手写比打字更能增强大脑联系。所以选项D“Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does (手写比打字更能增强大脑联系)”。故选D。
【答案】12．C 13．D 14．B 15．C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艾米·罗斯和爱丽丝·弗格森所做的关于孩子街头玩耍的相关研究及努力。
【解析】12．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“The results were breathtaking. The dozens of kids who showed up had no problem finding things to do: One little girl cycled up and down the street “3,000 times,” Rose recalled.( 结果是惊人的。到场的几十个孩子找事情做没有问题：罗斯回忆说，一个小女孩在街上骑了“3000次”自行车。)”可知，小女孩在街道上来回骑了3000次自行车，而且前文提到“The results were breathtaking.”（结果令人惊叹），说明孩子们玩得很好，所以“blissed out”应该是表示小女孩非常开心的意思，C选项“Extremely happy.”（非常高兴）符合语境。故选C项。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“After industrialization, streets were the primary location for children to play. Only when cars hit the streets in large numbers did society begin prioritizing the movement of motor vehicles over children and their playful behavior.( 工业化后，街道是孩子们玩耍的主要场所。只有当汽车大量上路时，社会才开始优先考虑机动车的移动，而不是儿童和他们的玩耍行为。)”可知，当大量汽车出现在街道上时，社会开始优先考虑机动车的通行，而不是孩子们的玩耍行为，所以是街道上车辆的增加导致了孩子们街头玩耍的减少。故选D项。
14．推理判断题。根据第四段中“As with any other sort of play, the process takes work: getting support from neighbors, booking road closures in advance, etc. Organizers are also working against the headwinds of a society unaccustomed to children playing in the street. Some residents ask why the kids can’t just go to the park as they worry about the noise or what will happen to their cars.( 与其他类型的游戏一样，这个过程需要付出努力：获得邻居的支持，提前预定封路等等。组织者还在努力应对社会对儿童在街上玩耍不习惯的不利影响。一些居民问，为什么孩子们不能去公园，因为他们担心噪音或他们的车会发生什么。)”可知，创办 “Playing Out”需要做很多工作，比如得到邻居的支持、提前预订封路等，而且组织者还面临着社会不习惯孩子在街头玩耍的阻力，一些居民会提出质疑，所以他们的工作是具有挑战性的。故选B项。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“On busier roads, play sessions always rely on people available to organize formal closures, while in communities where people lack the time and resources necessary for regular traffic closures, play streets don’t happen at all. But this upsetting situation may be the ultimate finding of Rose and Ferguson’s work: Truly restoring a culture of street play will require society to make much more far-reaching, permanent changes, which may sound upsetting but would improve the well-being of children and parents.( 在繁忙的道路上，游戏活动总是依赖于人们组织正式封闭，而在人们缺乏时间和资源进行常规交通封闭的社区，游戏街道根本不会发生。但这种令人不安的情况可能是罗斯和弗格森工作的最终发现：真正恢复街头游戏文化需要社会做出更深远、更持久的改变，这可能听起来令人不安，但会改善儿童和父母的福祉。)”可知，在繁忙的道路上，玩耍活动依赖于人们组织正式的封路，而在一些社区由于缺乏时间和资源根本无法进行街头玩耍活动，要真正恢复街头玩耍的文化需要社会做出更深远、更持久的改变，也就是在街道的使用方式上做出改变。故选C项。
【答案】16．B 17．E 18．G 19．D 20．F
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了当面对挑战和挫折时，我们可以通过三个实用技巧来增强自信。
【解析】16．根据上文“When faced with a big challenge, maybe you’ve heard this advice before: “Be more confident.”(面对巨大的挑战时，也许你以前听过这样的建议:“要更自信。”)”以及后文“Take the belief that you are valuable, worthwhile and capable, add in the optimism that comes when you are certain of your abilities, and then act courageously to face a challenge head-on. This is confidence.(相信自己是有价值的，有价值的，有能力的，当你确信自己的能力时，再加上乐观主义，然后勇敢地面对挑战。这就是自信)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，针对自信提出设问，后文给出回答。故B选项“但是什么是信心？”符合语境，故选B。

If you think they are fixed at birth, you might give up, assuming you’ve discovered something you’re not very good at. But if you have a growth mindset and think your abilities can improve, a challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow.(如果你正在寻找一个长期的改变，考虑一下你对自己的能力和天赋的看法。如果你认为他们在出生时就固定了，你可能会放弃，假设你发现了一些你不太擅长的东西。但如果你有一个成长的心态，认为你的能力可以提高，挑战是一个学习和成长的机会)”可知，本段的主旨是相信自己能力可以提高，D选项ability to improve对应后文think your abilities can improve。故D选项“相信自己有能力进步”符合语境，故选D。
20．根据上文“Practice failure. Face it. You’re going to fail sometimes. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks in a constructive way.(实践的失败。面对它。你有时会失败。研究表明，那些经常失败但仍在努力的人更有能力以建设性的方式应对挑战和挫折)”可知，本句总结上文经常失败但仍在努力的人的特点。故F选项“他们学习如何尝试不同的策略，向别人征求意见，并坚持下去”符合语境，故选F。

47．【答案】范文
Across the street was a big grocery store called the Piggly Wiggley. I went into the store, brimming with happiness. I realized that the twenty-five dollars I had worked so hard for went a long way for groceries. I bought a turkey, ham and all the Christmas treats. I spent every dime of my hard-earned money. The owner of the grocery store said, “Son, you can’t pack all those groceries and carry them home yourself.” So I asked two boys with carriers on their bicycles to run them the half- mile down to our house.
I whispered for boys to quietly unload the groceries and pile them against the door. Once they had done this, with great excitement, I knocked on the door. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! When Mom opened the door, some of the groceries fell inside, and she just stood there dumbfounded. I cheered, “Merry Christmas! There really is a Santa Claus!” That day I got enough hugs from Mom to last two lifetimes. To see my mother’s prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after all!

As a young girl, Ayshah grew up fascinated by the world of beauty.
She had a hole in her heart — a medical condition she was born with. Ayshah’s mother was especially protective of her because of her health condition, but encouraged her to pursue her dreams. When Ayshah finished high school, the most appealing option at her local technical college was training to become a make-up artist. So, she signed up for the three-year course.
While studying, Ayshah suffered the loss of her mother, which led the 21-year-old to become the primary supporter for her father, who was suffering from kidney failure, as well as for her younger sister and brother. “From that moment on, I knew I had to turn from being dependent to becoming stronger,” she says.
In three years, Ayshah completed her course at the technical college, along with her training. Then a friend told her about the opening of Roseyar, an Aramco initiative that supports local women by training and employing them at the rose factory in Taif, where she lives.
Taif is the heart of the rose-growing industry in western Saudi Arabia. Known as the Taif rose, these flowers are prized for their intense smell and are used by the world’s leading perfume makers. With nearly 900 rose farms, Taif has a centuries-old tradition of rose growing, and the roses are harvested to produce some of the world’s most expensive rose oil.
Ayshah joined Roseyar and trained as a production technician, using the oil of Taif roses to make cosmetic products. She reconnected with the cosmetic industry she loved as a child. “I truly love knowing that I am contributing to making something so beautiful,” she says.
The job at Roseyar has enabled Ayshah to meet her various responsibilities while being surrounded by the sweet smell of the Taif rose. “I’ve been able to balance having my medical treatment for my heart condition, supporting my family financially and providing for myself — I was even able to buy a car,” she says.
4．Why did Ayshah study at her local technical college
A．She had health problems. B．She had to look after her father.
C．She was able to learn what she loves. D．She was eager to earn a high income in the future.
5．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A．The Roseyar project. B．The Taif rose industry.
C．The production of perfumes. D．The characteristics of Taif roses.
6．Which of the following best describes Ayshah
A．Ambitious and responsible. B．Talented and determined.
C．Reliable and generous. D．Devoted and modest.
7．What does Ayshah think of her being part of Roseyar
A．It’s rewarding. B．It’s demanding.
C．It’s a stepping stone to her dream. D．It opens up new opportunities for her.
Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows.
In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes (电极) on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time. This result can reveal the connectivity among different regions across the brain.
With handwriting, the researchers saw increased activity, specifically in low frequency bands, not only in the expected motor areas but also in others associated with learning. These low frequency bands have previously been shown to support memory processes. When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.
“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says. “It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.”
These findings suggest that there are distinct processes of brain activation happening while a person types or writes. This boost of stimulation of handwriting facilitates learning because these particular waves between these areas are involved in memory formation and encoding (编码) .
And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. “Students and teachers alike should therefore consider the task at hand to decide to hand write or type,” Audrey says. Despite the need for more studies to determine the best learning strategy, experts say that handwriting shouldn’t be left behind in the digital age. “Schools need to bring in more writing into curriculum design,” Ruud says.
8．What did Audrey and Ruud mainly do in their research
A．They tested the function of electrodes. B．They analyzed the brain structure.
C．They monitored the brain activities. D．They recorded the writing speed.
9．Why can handwriting improve learning more than typing
A．It involves more specific brain activation. B．It promotes better muscle memory.
C．It allows for more innovative thinking. D．It encourages better concentration.
10．What’s the author’s attitude toward typing
A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
11．What might be the best title for the text
A．Taking Notes by Hand is Becoming Uncommon in Class
B．Using Keyboard is Recommended Due to Its Convenience
C．Widespread Brain Connectivity is Crucial to Human Learning
D．Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does
In 2009, Amy Rose and Alice Ferguson, two mothers living in Bristol, ran an experiment. They applied to shut a quarter-mile road to traffic for two hours after school — just to let the children who lived there play. They didn’t prepare games or activities to see what would happen to the children with time, space, and permission.
The results were breathtaking. The dozens of kids who showed up had no problem finding things to do: One little girl cycled up and down the street “3,000 times,” Rose recalled. “She was blissed out.” Suddenly, the modern approach to children’s play, in which parents transport their kids to playgrounds or other activities, seemed both needlessly extravagant (奢侈的) and wholly insufficient. Kids didn’t need special equipment or lessons; they just needed to get outside and be less reliant on their parents, who were trapped by the daily routine with children.
Nowadays, streets, where people used to sell goods and socialize, are commonly thought to serve only mobile purposes. After industrialization, streets were the primary location for children to play. Only when cars hit the streets in large numbers did society begin prioritizing the movement of motor vehicles over children and their playful behavior.
In 2011, Rose, Ferguson, and their friend Ingrid Skeels founded Playing Out to help residents set up play sessions. As with any other sort of play, the process takes work: getting support from neighbors, booking road closures in advance, etc. Organizers are also working against the headwinds of a society unaccustomed to children playing in the street. Some residents ask why the kids can’t just go to the park as they worry about the noise or what will happen to their cars.
On busier roads, play sessions always rely on people available to organize formal closures, while in communities where people lack the time and resources necessary for regular traffic closures, play streets don’t happen at all. But this upsetting situation may be the ultimate finding of Rose and Ferguson’s work: Truly restoring a culture of street play will require society to make much more far-reaching, permanent changes, which may sound upsetting but would improve the well-being of children and parents.
12．What does the underlined part “blissed out” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Quite bored. B．Pretty confused.
C．Extremely happy. D．Terribly worn-out.
13．What historical transformation led to the decline of street play among children
A．The rise of industrialization. B．The appearance of street markets.
C．The expansion of public parks. D．The increase in vehicles on streets.
14．Which of the following words can best describe Playing Out founders’ work
A．Creative. B．Challenging. C．Fascinating. D．Effective.
15．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Children’s playful behavior should be carefully controlled.
B．Every family should make efforts to help children play out.
C．Permanent changes should be made in how streets are used.
D．More parks should be built in working-class neighborhoods.
When faced with a big challenge, maybe you’ve heard this advice before: “Be more confident.” 16 Take the belief that you are valuable, worthwhile and capable, add in the optimism that comes when you are certain of your abilities, and then act courageously to face a challenge head-on. This is confidence.
Then where does confidence come from There are several factors that affect confidence. Firstly, what you’re born with, such as your genes. Secondly, how you’re treated. 17 And lastly, the part you have control over, the choices you make, the risks you take, and how you think about and respond to challenges and setbacks. And, by keeping in mind a few practical tips, we do actually have the power to cultivate our own confidence.
● Find a quick fix. 18 Picture your success when you’re beginning a difficult task. Do something as simple as listening to music with deep bass. You can even strike a powerful pose or give yourself a pep talk (鼓舞士气的话).
● 19 If you’re looking for a long-term change, consider the way you think about your abilities and talents. If you think they are fixed at birth, you might give up, assuming you’ve discovered something you’re not very good at. But if you have a growth mindset and think your abilities can improve, a challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow.
● Practice failure. Face it. You’re going to fail sometimes. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks in a constructive way. 20 .
A．Promote feelings of power.
B．But what is confidence
C．But how can we become confident
D．Believe in your ability to improve.
E．This includes the social pressures of your environment.
F．They learn how to try different strategies, ask others for advice, and carry on.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the tail end of the depression (大萧条), and things were tough. Mom had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC． My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake five years earlier — I still remember it as if it were yesterday.
Looking back, I realize what Mom went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our soles were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mom couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five dollar Christmas fund for social assistance. Mom said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.
Unknown to Mom, I had been selling Christmas trees to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They had a price of twenty-three dollars.
Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was very excited, as I hurried up the road to catch the bus. It was only half a mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized that at our house, we had nothing for Christmas. I knew then that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.
Suddenly, I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mom was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents. I stopped. The bus drove off without me, and I stood alone, but feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I changed my mind and I realized what I had to do.

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Ayshah从小对美容行业的热爱，尽管她患有先天性心脏病，但她依然坚持追求梦想。在母亲去世后，她承担起家庭责任，最终通过努力在玫瑰工厂Roseyar找到工作，重新与美容行业结缘，并实现了自我价值。
【解析】4．细节理解题。根据第一段“As a young girl, Ayshah grew up fascinated by the world of beauty.(Ayshah从小就对美容行业着迷)”和第二段“When Ayshah finished high school, the most appealing option at her local technical college was training to become a make-up artist. So, she signed up for the three-year course.(Ayshah高中毕业后，当地技术学院最吸引她的选择是成为一名化妆师的培训课程。于是，她报名参加了这个为期三年的课程)”可推知，Ayshah选择技术学院是因为她能够学习自己热爱的东西。故选C。
5．主旨大意题。根据第五段“Taif is the heart of the rose-growing industry in western Saudi Arabia. Known as the Taif rose, these flowers are prized for their intense smell and are used by the world’s leading perfume makers. With nearly 900 rose farms, Taif has a centuries-old tradition of rose growing, and the roses are harvested to produce some of the world’s most expensive rose oil.(伊夫是沙特阿拉伯西部玫瑰种植业的核心。塔伊夫玫瑰以其浓郁的香味而闻名，被世界顶级香水制造商使用。塔伊夫拥有近900个玫瑰农场，有着数百年的玫瑰种植传统，这些玫瑰被采摘用于生产世界上最昂贵的玫瑰油)”可知，本段主要讲述了塔伊夫玫瑰产业。故选B。

【答案】8．C 9．A 10．B 11．D
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写比打字更能增强大脑联系。
【解析】8．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“In the study, psychologists Audrey and Ruud, both at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, stuck electrodes on the participants’ heads. They asked the participants to type out or hand write with a digital pen words that appeared on a computer screen. Sensors in a cap recorded electrical brain activity. Then the psychologists looked for when two brain areas are active with the same frequency of electrical waves at the same time. (在这项研究中，挪威科技大学的心理学家奥黛丽和鲁德把电极贴在参与者的头上。他们要求参与者用数字笔打出或手写出现在电脑屏幕上的单词。帽子上的传感器记录了大脑的电活动。然后，心理学家们寻找两个大脑区域在同一时间以相同的电波频率活跃的情况。)”可知，Audrey和Ruud在研究中主要监测大脑活动。故选C。
9．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“When the team compared the two tasks, they realized that handwriting —but not typing —increased the connectivity across parietal (顶叶) brain regions, which are involved in sensory and motor processing, and central regions, many of which are involved in memory.(当研究小组比较这两项任务时，他们意识到手写——而不是打字——增加了大脑顶叶区域和中央区域之间的连通性，顶叶区域与感觉和运动处理有关，而中央区域中有许多与记忆有关。)”和后文“Even when the movements are very similar, the activation seems much, much higher in handwriting,” Audrey says.“It shows that there’s more involvement of these brain regions when you’re handwriting, which might give you some specific advantages.” (奥黛丽说：“即使动作非常相似，手写的激活程度似乎也要高得多。”“这表明，当你书写时，这些大脑区域的参与程度更高，这可能会给你带来一些特殊的优势。”)”可知，手写比打字更能改善学习因为它涉及更具体的大脑激活。故选A。
10．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“And although handwriting may help with learning processes, typing is often easier, faster and more practical. (虽然手写可能有助于学习过程，但打字通常更容易、更快、更实用。)”可知，作者对打字的态度是客观的。故选B。
11．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Writing out the same word again and again may bring back bad memories for some, but handwriting can boost connectivity across brain regions, some of which are involved in learning and memory, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，反复写同一个单词可能会让一些人回忆起不好的记忆，但手写可以增强大脑各区域的连通性，其中一些区域与学习和记忆有关。)”可知，文章主要介绍了手写比打字更能增强大脑联系。所以选项D“Handwriting Boosts Brain Connections More Than Typing Does (手写比打字更能增强大脑联系)”。故选D。
【答案】12．C 13．D 14．B 15．C
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了艾米·罗斯和爱丽丝·弗格森所做的关于孩子街头玩耍的相关研究及努力。
【解析】12．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“The results were breathtaking. The dozens of kids who showed up had no problem finding things to do: One little girl cycled up and down the street “3,000 times,” Rose recalled.( 结果是惊人的。到场的几十个孩子找事情做没有问题：罗斯回忆说，一个小女孩在街上骑了“3000次”自行车。)”可知，小女孩在街道上来回骑了3000次自行车，而且前文提到“The results were breathtaking.”（结果令人惊叹），说明孩子们玩得很好，所以“blissed out”应该是表示小女孩非常开心的意思，C选项“Extremely happy.”（非常高兴）符合语境。故选C项。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“After industrialization, streets were the primary location for children to play. Only when cars hit the streets in large numbers did society begin prioritizing the movement of motor vehicles over children and their playful behavior.( 工业化后，街道是孩子们玩耍的主要场所。只有当汽车大量上路时，社会才开始优先考虑机动车的移动，而不是儿童和他们的玩耍行为。)”可知，当大量汽车出现在街道上时，社会开始优先考虑机动车的通行，而不是孩子们的玩耍行为，所以是街道上车辆的增加导致了孩子们街头玩耍的减少。故选D项。
14．推理判断题。根据第四段中“As with any other sort of play, the process takes work: getting support from neighbors, booking road closures in advance, etc. Organizers are also working against the headwinds of a society unaccustomed to children playing in the street. Some residents ask why the kids can’t just go to the park as they worry about the noise or what will happen to their cars.( 与其他类型的游戏一样，这个过程需要付出努力：获得邻居的支持，提前预定封路等等。组织者还在努力应对社会对儿童在街上玩耍不习惯的不利影响。一些居民问，为什么孩子们不能去公园，因为他们担心噪音或他们的车会发生什么。)”可知，创办 “Playing Out”需要做很多工作，比如得到邻居的支持、提前预订封路等，而且组织者还面临着社会不习惯孩子在街头玩耍的阻力，一些居民会提出质疑，所以他们的工作是具有挑战性的。故选B项。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段“On busier roads, play sessions always rely on people available to organize formal closures, while in communities where people lack the time and resources necessary for regular traffic closures, play streets don’t happen at all. But this upsetting situation may be the ultimate finding of Rose and Ferguson’s work: Truly restoring a culture of street play will require society to make much more far-reaching, permanent changes, which may sound upsetting but would improve the well-being of children and parents.( 在繁忙的道路上，游戏活动总是依赖于人们组织正式封闭，而在人们缺乏时间和资源进行常规交通封闭的社区，游戏街道根本不会发生。但这种令人不安的情况可能是罗斯和弗格森工作的最终发现：真正恢复街头游戏文化需要社会做出更深远、更持久的改变，这可能听起来令人不安，但会改善儿童和父母的福祉。)”可知，在繁忙的道路上，玩耍活动依赖于人们组织正式的封路，而在一些社区由于缺乏时间和资源根本无法进行街头玩耍活动，要真正恢复街头玩耍的文化需要社会做出更深远、更持久的改变，也就是在街道的使用方式上做出改变。故选C项。
【答案】16．B 17．E 18．G 19．D 20．F
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了当面对挑战和挫折时，我们可以通过三个实用技巧来增强自信。
【解析】16．根据上文“When faced with a big challenge, maybe you’ve heard this advice before: “Be more confident.”(面对巨大的挑战时，也许你以前听过这样的建议:“要更自信。”)”以及后文“Take the belief that you are valuable, worthwhile and capable, add in the optimism that comes when you are certain of your abilities, and then act courageously to face a challenge head-on. This is confidence.(相信自己是有价值的，有价值的，有能力的，当你确信自己的能力时，再加上乐观主义，然后勇敢地面对挑战。这就是自信)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，针对自信提出设问，后文给出回答。故B选项“但是什么是信心？”符合语境，故选B。
17．根据上文“Then where does confidence come from There are several factors that affect confidence. Firstly, what you’re born with, such as your genes. Secondly, how you’re treated.(那么，信心从何而来？有几个因素会影响信心。首先，你与生俱来的东西，比如你的基因。其次，别人如何对待你)”可知，本句针对上文“别人如何对待你”展开说明，故E选项“这包括你所处环境的社会压力”符合语境，故选E。

You can even strike a powerful pose or give yourself a pep talk (鼓舞士气的话).(当你开始一项困难的任务时，想象一下你的成功。做一些简单的事情，比如听低音音乐。你甚至可以摆出一个有力的姿势，或者给自己打气)”可知，后文主要给出了一些提升自信的建议。故G选项“这里有一些小技巧可以让你在短期内迅速提升自信”符合语境，故选G。
19．根据后文“If you’re looking for a long-term change, consider the way you think about your abilities and talents. If you think they are fixed at birth, you might give up, assuming you’ve discovered something you’re not very good at. But if you have a growth mindset and think your abilities can improve, a challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow.(如果你正在寻找一个长期的改变，考虑一下你对自己的能力和天赋的看法。如果你认为他们在出生时就固定了，你可能会放弃，假设你发现了一些你不太擅长的东西。但如果你有一个成长的心态，认为你的能力可以提高，挑战是一个学习和成长的机会)”可知，本段的主旨是相信自己能力可以提高，D选项ability to improve对应后文think your abilities can improve。故D选项“相信自己有能力进步”符合语境，故选D。
20．根据上文“Practice failure. Face it. You’re going to fail sometimes. Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks in a constructive way.(实践的失败。面对它。你有时会失败。研究表明，那些经常失败但仍在努力的人更有能力以建设性的方式应对挑战和挫折)”可知，本句总结上文经常失败但仍在努力的人的特点。故F选项“他们学习如何尝试不同的策略，向别人征求意见，并坚持下去”符合语境，故选F。

47．【答案】范文
Across the street was a big grocery store called the Piggly Wiggley. I went into the store, brimming with happiness. I realized that the twenty-five dollars I had worked so hard for went a long way for groceries. I bought a turkey, ham and all the Christmas treats. I spent every dime of my hard-earned money. The owner of the grocery store said, “Son, you can’t pack all those groceries and carry them home yourself.” So I asked two boys with carriers on their bicycles to run them the half- mile down to our house.
I whispered for boys to quietly unload the groceries and pile them against the door. Once they had done this, with great excitement, I knocked on the door. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! When Mom opened the door, some of the groceries fell inside, and she just stood there dumbfounded. I cheered, “Merry Christmas! There really is a Santa Claus!” That day I got enough hugs from Mom to last two lifetimes. To see my mother’s prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after all!
