Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题2.5分,共20分)
A
Courage is a huge theme in my life,a quality I constantly seek,appreciate,and analyse.The root of“courage” is“cor”,the Latin word for heart.Originally,courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart”. While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays,I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage.During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students,I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group.Despite my suggestions to rest,she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked,I called out to the front for help,but there was no response,and we had no cellphone signal.Fortunately,two students just came back to check on us.They offered assistance and calmed us down.As we continued at a slower pace,they shared their own experiences,from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said,looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started.But with practice and proper pace,you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah,don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright.In fact,it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it.That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me.However,the two students addressed the celebrating group directly,emphasising the importance of staying together in tough environments.Their words led the group to apologise to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery,and my daughter learnt that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group.Courage,I’ve come to realise,has a ripple effect.Each time we choose courage,we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.

Empathy(同理心) is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it.In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasised,it is in short supply but high demand.This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.
What Is Empathy —Many people confuse sympathy and empathy,but they are two distinct values.Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone’s feelings;criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust.Empathy is more than that.Not only is it the ability to recognise how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person.It means treating others with kindness,dignity,and understanding.
Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts,in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them.It begins with the way parents relate to their children.Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.
Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met,two things happen.They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving,meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive.An empty jug cannot fill a cup.
It’s a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them.Give their emotions names(for example,jealousy,anger,and love) and teach them that these are normal.Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions.Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.
( )5.Why is the next generation taught to have empathy
[A] Because people tend to centre themselves.
[B] Because everyone lacks empathy.
[C] Because empathy is a strange quality.
[D] Because it’s better to give than to receive.
( )6.Which situation can empathy be used in
[A] When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.
[B] When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.
[C] When a criminal is cheating a victim.
[D] When a dancer is dancing to music.
( )7.What does the underlined sentence “An empty jug cannot fill a cup.” mean
[A] An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.
[B] It’s a must to talk to kids about emotions.
[C] Adults should set an example to kids.
[D] Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.
( )8.What is the main topic of the passage
[A] How to train kids to have empathy.
[B] How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.
[C] How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.
[D] Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.

1.【答案】 B
【解析】 设空处后一句提到“你没有必要迈出巨大的改变命运的一步”,所以空处应是表达可以从小事开始做出改变,故B项符合语境。故选B。
2.【答案】 C

3.【答案】 G
【解析】 设空处前的“It doesn’t matter how...in their fields.”提到你的年龄不重要,身边有多少人提醒你你永远都不会成功不重要,即使最成功的人也会犹豫,设空处后一句提到要拥有坚定的心态,知道成功就在触手可及的范围内,所以空处应是鼓励读者消除疑虑,坚定信心,故G项符合语境。故选G。
4.【答案】 F
【解析】 设空处后一句表示“这是你会鼓励你朋友去做的事情”,句中的It应是指代空处句子描述的行为,并且该行为应是积极的,且空前表示不要让恐惧占了上风,故F项符合语境。故选F。
5.【答案】 E
【解析】 设空处前的“Sometimes,following your passion...and your dreams.”提到有时候追随你的爱好意味着你每天都要花很多时间。它可能需要你根据你的计划做出微小的调整,但是你没有必要为了跟从内心而牺牲一切。努力在你目前的生活和你的梦想之间找到一种平衡。故E项符合语境。故选E。

Dear Kevin,
How are you Beyond my comprehension of English learning,I’m writing to ask for your help.
As you know,in terms of my weak English,especially reading comprehension,I want to use a positive way to learn. Although I have made an effort to try every means to improve it,not only expanding my vocabulary but also doing a large number of exercises,so far all my efforts have ended in failure when I came across some new words. Now with this term coming to the finishing touches,I am still anchored in what to do next.
I would appreciate it very much if you could give me some advice on how to improve my reading ability effectively.I am looking forward to your early reply.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

[语篇导读]本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一种正确的人生态度——活在当下,追逐梦想。
1.【解析】 设空处后一句提到“你没有必要迈出巨大的改变命运的一步”,所以空处应是表达可以从小事开始做出改变,故B项符合语境。故选B。
2.【解析】 根据下文尤其是“if you actually took a chance on yourself”和“Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.”可知,本段主要强调的是“自己”在实现梦想中的主体作用,故C项符合语境。故选C。
3.【解析】 设空处前的“It doesn’t matter how...in their fields.”提到你的年龄不重要,身边有多少人提醒你你永远都不会成功不重要,即使最成功的人也会犹豫,设空处后一句提到要拥有坚定的心态,知道成功就在触手可及的范围内,所以空处应是鼓励读者消除疑虑,坚定信心,故G项符合语境。故选G。
5.【解析】 设空处前的“Sometimes,following your passion...and your dreams.”提到有时候追随你的爱好意味着你每天都要花很多时间。它可能需要你根据你的计划做出微小的调整,但是你没有必要为了跟从内心而牺牲一切。努力在你目前的生活和你的梦想之间找到一种平衡。故E项符合语境。故选E。
4.【解析】 设空处后一句表示“这是你会鼓励你朋友去做的事情”,句中的It应是指代空处句子描述的行为,并且该行为应是积极的,且空前表示不要让恐惧占了上风,故F项符合语境。故选F。
