Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Brave， crazy or both — that’s what my family and friends thought when I announced I would begin a search for a new place to call home.But after a lifetime of doing what I thought others expected of me， I needed neither their permission nor their blessings.
So on 14 September， 2015， I literally drove out of my old life and into my new one， without a clue as to what that life would look like when I found it.
My only traveling companion was my dog， Bella.With six months of reservations in various places， the two of us hit the road.Driving out of the tiny town in South Dakota where I’d been living was the most frightening moment of my life for many reasons.I was terrified of being alone.I hated driving.I’m directionally challenged.
On the road， every girl-power songs ever written played on the radio， one after another.Cher told me to “believe in life after love”. Beyoncé reminded me that girls “run the world”， and Rachel Platten sang her “fight song”. All the songs one would want to hear when some courage was needed came on.
For the next ten months， Bella and I checked out possible new places to live.We investigated towns we knew and places we’d never been.My journey was filled with unexpected ups and downs， often leaving me agreeing with those who had thought I was crazy to do it.
My journey covered thousands of miles， twenty-two different beds， and a host of life-changing events over the course of ten months.Today， I’m no longer traveling or terrified.My final destination turned out to be Palm Springs， California， a unique village that spoke to my heart and that I’m thankful to call home every day.
During my travels， one of my daughters made me a gift that said，“Home is where my mom is.” And as I look at it today， I realise that finding a home wasn’t nearly as important as finding myself.
1.What made the author feel frightened？（ ）
A.Searching for a new place.
B.Driving thousands of miles.
C.Not having a traveling companion.
D.Leaving the small town in South Dakota.
2.Why did the author play many girl-power songs on the road？（ ）
A.To relax herself.
B.To entertain Bella.
C.To get some courage.
D.To get some inspiration.
3.What made the author feel she was crazy？（ ）
A.The journey’s being hard.
B.The journey’s long distance.
C.Travelling for ten months.
D.Many life-changing events.
4.What can we infer about the author？（ ）
A.She liked trying new things.
B.She will go back to the town.
C.She was fond of being alone.
D.She wasn’t satisfied with California.
B
A good friend was complaining about her son who spent money way too freely and without concern， putting himself into debt on multiple credit cards. At the suggestion that perhaps it would help him to make it harder to use credit （by canceling some cards or locking them away）， she angrily said， “But he should be able to control himself without these tricks. He should have the willpower to just not spend money.”
This reaction demonstrates a popular belief that self-control is synonymous （同义的） with willpower — controlling desires with pure force of will. By contrast， current psychological thinking suggests that there are many actions and thoughts people can take to direct their choices without having to resort to the strength of will. These self-control strategies can make goal-oriented choices easier and temptation-oriented choices less likely.
For example， one might avoid tempting situations altogether， make some choices more accessible （for example， by leaving credit cards at home and bringing only limited amounts of cash）， focus attention strategically （for example， looking at the price tag rather than the specs of a product）， or remind oneself of one’s goals when faced with temptations （for example， by writing them down and bringing the piece of paper along）. Self-control strategies help people to stay on track with their goals and resist temptations.
However， do people feel — like my friend — that using strategies is a “trick”， whereas willpower is the “real deal”？ What do people think of a person who is using self-control strategies？
According to our studies， participants consistently rated people who were described as using strategies as lower in self-control than peoplewho were described as using willpower. Diminishing strategies as “tricks” was linked to less willingness to use self-control strategies in our studies.
My friend might be more open to “tricks” that help her son limit his spending as the understanding of what self-control means changes. Self-control strategies are an important part of realising goals and resisting temptations. Self-control does not have to be hard. It can also mean arranging the world and one’s mind to make good choices more likely.
5.What was the problem with the author’s friend？（ ）
A.She fell into financial trouble.
B.She needed more credit cards.
C.Her son was heavily in debt.
D.Her son lacked discipline at school.
6.What do many people focus on when speaking of self-control？（ ）
A.A strong will. B.A great ambition.
C.Some specific goals. D.Some practical tricks.
7.Why does the author give some examples in Paragraph 3？（ ）
A.To show there are many tempting situations.
B.To show self-control strategies are effective.
C.To prove it isn’t difficult to resist temptations.
D.To prove we are faced with many temptations.
8.What does the underlined word “Diminishing” in Paragraph 5 mean？（ ）
A.Reducing in value.
B.Changing in position.
C.Improving in popularity.
D.Increasing in importance.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。在周围人眼里勇敢和疯狂的作者开始了一次说走就走的旅程。最终她不但找到了新的家园，而且重新发现了自我。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Driving out of the tiny town in South Dakota where I’d been living was the most frightening moment of my life可知，作者离开原来居住的小镇时是最令她恐惧的时刻。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的All the songs one would want to hear when some courage was needed came on.可知，作者一路上播放这些充满力量的女性歌曲是为了获得勇气。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第五段可知，作者的旅程非常艰辛，这让她同意别人说她疯狂的观点。
4.A 推理判断题。综合全文可知，作者能够放弃原来生活的小镇并长途跋涉去探寻新的家园，这说明她喜欢尝试新事物、接受新挑战。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。提到自控，人们通常会强调意志力的重要性；可是，心理学家认为，采取一些有助于我们抵制诱惑的技巧也非常重要。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，作者的这位朋友遇到的问题是：她的儿子由于缺乏自控、花钱无度，因此陷入信用卡债务。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，提到自控，人们普遍认为自控与意志力是同义词——即用纯粹的意志力控制个人欲望。
7.B 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，作者通过举例说明，自控策略可以帮助人们坚持自己的目标，抵制诱惑。最后一句是对本段大意的总结。
8.A 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，作者所从事的研究表明，研究对象普遍认为，比起那些单纯利用意志力的人，那些借助策略的人自控能力更低；另外，很多研究对象也不愿采用这些策略。这说明他们“看不起”这些自控策略，也就是“贬低”它们。

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Leah在10岁时看到世界需要改变。她决定在一场本地活动中分发手工制作的手镯，并请求得到手镯的人为他人做一件好事。后来她开始卖带有“传递善良”字样的腕带，并用所得的钱与捐赠物帮助更多的人。
9.C 根据下文讲的Leah分发手工制作的手镯，并请求收到手镯的人为他人做一件好事可知，此处表示人们应该表现出爱和同情。
10.D 根据第三段中的As Leah gave out bracelets可知，Leah是在分发手镯。hand out与give out均有“分发”之意。
11.B 根据语境可知，此处是指在每个手镯上贴上一个便条。
12.C 结合语境可知，Leah请求得到手镯的人为他人做一件好事，这是珍视他人的表现。
13.A 根据空后的began to receive bracelet requests worldwide可知，Leah分发手镯时，消息传了出去。
14.B 根据空前的to hear from people who’d delivered kind deeds可知，本句举例说明别人的善举：一个人给一个疲惫不堪的店员送三明治令店员感到意外。
15.A 根据语境并结合选项可知，有人建立了一个无家可归者的营地让Leah真正地受到触动。
16.C 根据上文可知，Leah开始收到来自全世界的手镯请求，此处应是当她不能满足手镯请求时，她就开始卖带有“传递善良”字样的腕带。
17.D 根据上文可知，Leah之前收到了全世界范围内的手镯请求，所以她腕带的售卖范围也应是全世界，而根据常识可知，世界各地使用的语言不同。
18.B 根据语境可知，这个聚会的一部分资金是售卖腕带所得，所以聚会应是由Leah组织的。
19.A 根据语境并结合选项可知，她为飓风的受害者付租金。
20.A 根据上文中的selling wristbands可知，此处指使用出售腕带所得的钱。
21.D 根据下文Leah说的话可知，她希望鼓励想帮助他人的孩子们。
22.B 根据语境可知，Leah是在鼓励其他孩子们勇于提出想法，传播善良。

27.that/which 前面的situations是先行词，这里应用关系代词that或which引导一个定语从句。
28.are 本句主语为symptoms，因此这里用系动词are。
29.to stay 本句中it为形式主语，这里应用动词不定式作真正主语。
30.concentrating have trouble/difficulty （in） doing sth是一个固定表达，表示“做某事有困难”。
31.and/or 这里jump from one task to another与have a hard time ...是两个并列的谓语，故填and/or。
32.presents 根据上下文可知，这里应用一般现在时，故填presents。
33.Fortunately 这里需要一个副词来修饰整个句子，故填Fortunately。
6 / 6Section Ⅴ LESSON 3 MEET THE NEW BOSS： YOU
Up until the 1980s， people in many countries regularly followed in their parents’ footsteps① by working in the family business or joining the same profession② as them.You’d follow your father to sea， onto the farm or into the workshop③.You’d follow your mother into the kitchen or sewing room.In your grandparents’ time， there was the prospect④ of doing the same job from graduation until retirement⑤.How times have changed！ Most people now have no intention of⑥ following in their parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.
In fact， planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire working life just isn’t practical anymore.One reason for this is technology.[1]The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant⑦ and be enough to help you through your entire career. In fact， they will probably be out of date⑧ very soon.And then what will you do？ Work hard？ Win the lottery⑨？ Hope for the best？ You might be lucky.These strategies⑩ might bring you a nice， comfortable life： working at a job you like， earning a decent salary and retiring while you’re still young and healthy.But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”.
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career， think again.[2]You might be able to keep your job if you finish what you are asked to do， but this is hardly a recipe for great career success. Instead， you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.You’ll need to be a risk taker， an innovator ， a problem solver， and a hard worker.[3]Keep doing this， and you can become an expert or a specialist in something one day. You have a chance to choose to build a career， rather than being told to stay or to go.
[1]句中you have 为定语从句，前面省略了关系词that。
[2]本句为but连接的并列复合句。前一分句中if 引导条件状语从句，其中what 引导宾语从句。
[3]本句为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”结构。
Jobs and occupations come and go at an amazing pace these days.If you think you can’t be replaced by software， or your job can’t be outsourced to some robots on the moon， you are wrong.[4]What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field ？You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained in order to qualify to work in another field.In fact， in all likelihood ， you will have to do this multiple times.But you can be prepared for developments and changes before you are thrown out of a career.It is entirely your choice to learn， or to be forced to learn.
In short， if you want to succeed in a 21st century career， you will have to develop new essential skills.Lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain or even likely.[5]The truth is that you are the boss of your career， and it is up to you to decide what you can do and how well you can do it.Are you ready for this？
[4]What if ...？意为“如果……怎么办？”。
[5]本句为and 连接的并列复合句。前一分句中that 引导表语从句，后一分句中的what和how 引导并列的宾语从句。

【参考译文】
一直到20世纪80年代，在很多国家人们往往子承父业，参与家族生意，或选择与父母从事同一职业。 你可能会像父亲一样出海、去农场、进车间，也可能会像妈妈一样进厨房、去缝纫室。在你祖父母生活的时代，人们有可能从毕业到退休都做同样的工作。现在时代变了！如今大多数人不再想子承父业，甚至不愿长时间做同一份工作。
事实上，在同一个领域、同一行业工作一辈子的想法已经不现实了。其中一个原因是技术进步。你现在拥有的工作技能不可能一直有用， 也不足以支撑你的整个职业生涯。事实上，这些技能可能很快就会过时，然后你会怎么做？努力地工作？中彩票？尽量往好处想？你可能会运气不错。这些做法可能会带来美好舒适的生活：从事一项自己喜欢的工作，挣着一份体面的薪水，退休时还年富力强。但是，今天我们大多数人都必须跳出“职业生涯”这个小框来看待问题。
如果以为一天工作8个小时就可以成就一番事业， 那么你得重新想想了。完成别人安排的任务，也许可以保住你的工作，但绝不是取得巨大职业成就的方法。相反，最好要不断寻找更巧妙的工作方法，要成为一个冒险者、一个创新者、一个问题解决者，以及一个努力工作的人。持之以恒，这样有一天你才会成为某个行业的专家或专业人士。你有机会去选择成就一番事业， 而不是让别人决定自己的去留。
如今，工作更换、职业更替的速度惊人。如果认为自己不会被软件所取代，或者自己的工作不可能外包给月球上的机器人，那就大错特错了。假如自己辛辛苦苦工作了十年的岗位消失了怎么办？你可能不得不重新回到教室，接受再培训，才能取得在其他领域工作的资格。事实上，你非常有可能要这样重复很多次。但是在被职业抛弃之前，你可以为未来的发展变化做好准备。主动学习还是被迫学习，完全取决于你自己。
简言之，如果你想在21世纪的职业生涯中取得成功，就必须培养新的必备技能。从同一个雇主那里获得终身职业保障已不再可能也不再可行。实际上，你才是自己职业生涯的老板，也只有你才能决定自己能做什么、能做多好。你准备好了吗？

Up until the 1980s， people in many countries regularly followed in
their parents’ footsteps① by working in the family business or joining the
same profession② as them.You’d follow your father to sea， onto the
farm or into the workshop③.You’d follow your mother into the kitchen
or sewing room.In your grandparents’ time， there was the prospect④ of
doing the same job from graduation until retirement⑤.How times have
changed！ Most people now have no intention of⑥ following in their
parents’ footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.
In fact， planning to work in the same field or industry for your entire
working life just isn’t practical anymore.One reason for this is
technology.[1]The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant⑦
and be enough to help you through your entire career. In fact， they will
probably be out of date⑧ very soon.And then what will you do？ Work
hard？ Win the lottery⑨？ Hope for the best？ You might be lucky.These
strategies⑩ might bring you a nice， comfortable life： working at a job
you like， earning a decent salary and retiring while you’re still
young and healthy.But most of us today have to look beyond the little box
called “career”.
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career， think
again.[2]You might be able to keep your job if you finish what you are
asked to do， but this is hardly a recipe for great career success.
Instead， you’d better keep looking for smarter ways to do your
work.You’ll need to be a risk taker， an innovator ， a problem
solver， and a hard worker.[3]Keep doing this， and you can become an
expert or a specialist in something one day. You have a chance to choose
to build a career， rather than being told to stay or to go.

【参考译文】
一直到20世纪80年代，在很多国家人们往往子承父业，参与家族
生意，或选择与父母从事同一职业。 你可能会像父亲一样出海、去农
场、进车间，也可能会像妈妈一样进厨房、去缝纫室。在你祖父母生
活的时代，人们有可能从毕业到退休都做同样的工作。现在时代变
了！如今大多数人不再想子承父业，甚至不愿长时间做同一份工作。
事实上，在同一个领域、同一行业工作一辈子的想法已经不现实
了。其中一个原因是技术进步。你现在拥有的工作技能不可能一直有
用， 也不足以支撑你的整个职业生涯。事实上，这些技能可能很快就
会过时，然后你会怎么做？努力地工作？中彩票？尽量往好处想？你
可能会运气不错。这些做法可能会带来美好舒适的生活：从事一项自
己喜欢的工作，挣着一份体面的薪水，退休时还年富力强。但是，今
天我们大多数人都必须跳出“职业生涯”这个小框来看待问题。
如果以为一天工作8个小时就可以成就一番事业， 那么你得重新
想想了。完成别人安排的任务，也许可以保住你的工作，但绝不是取
得巨大职业成就的方法。相反，最好要不断寻找更巧妙的工作方法，
要成为一个冒险者、一个创新者、一个问题解决者，以及一个努力工
作的人。持之以恒，这样有一天你才会成为某个行业的专家或专业人
士。你有机会去选择成就一番事业， 而不是让别人决定自己的去留。
如今，工作更换、职业更替的速度惊人。如果认为自己不会被软
件所取代，或者自己的工作不可能外包给月球上的机器人，那就大错
特错了。假如自己辛辛苦苦工作了十年的岗位消失了怎么办？你可能
不得不重新回到教室，接受再培训，才能取得在其他领域工作的资
格。事实上，你非常有可能要这样重复很多次。但是在被职业抛弃之
前，你可以为未来的发展变化做好准备。主动学习还是被迫学习，完
全取决于你自己。
简言之，如果你想在21世纪的职业生涯中取得成功，就必须培养
新的必备技能。从同一个雇主那里获得终身职业保障已不再可能也不
再可行。实际上，你才是自己职业生涯的老板，也只有你才能决定自
己能做什么、能做多好。你准备好了吗？

about the future. The writer discusses some of the wrong assumptions
in order to make the readers reflect and realise that what common
people think at present will no longer be true in the future and that they
have no other choices but to walk out of their comfort zone and be their
boss.

A
Brave， crazy or both — that’s what my family and friends thought
when I announced I would begin a search for a new place to call home.But
after a lifetime of doing what I thought others expected of me， I needed
neither their permission nor their blessings.
So on 14 September， 2015， I literally drove out of my old life and
into my new one， without a clue as to what that life would look like when
I found it.
My only traveling companion was my dog， Bella.With six months
of reservations in various places， the two of us hit the road.Driving out
of the tiny town in South Dakota where I’d been living was the most
frightening moment of my life for many reasons.I was terrified of being
alone.I hated driving.I’m directionally challenged.
On the road， every girl-power songs ever written played on the
radio， one after another.Cher told me to “believe in life after love”.
Beyoncé reminded me that girls “run the world”， and Rachel Platten
sang her “fight song”. All the songs one would want to hear when some
courage was needed came on.
For the next ten months， Bella and I checked out possible new
places to live.We investigated towns we knew and places we’d never
been.My journey was filled with unexpected ups and downs， often
leaving me agreeing with those who had thought I was crazy to do it.
My journey covered thousands of miles， twenty-two different
beds， and a host of life-changing events over the course of ten
months.Today， I’m no longer traveling or terrified.My final
destination turned out to be Palm Springs， California， a unique village
that spoke to my heart and that I’m thankful to call home every day.
During my travels， one of my daughters made me a gift that said，
“Home is where my mom is.” And as I look at it today， I realise that
finding a home wasn’t nearly as important as finding myself.

A good friend was complaining about her son who spent money way
too freely and without concern， putting himself into debt on multiple
credit cards. At the suggestion that perhaps it would help him to make it
harder to use credit （by canceling some cards or locking them away），
she angrily said， “But he should be able to control himself without these
tricks. He should have the willpower to just not spend money.”
This reaction demonstrates a popular belief that self-control is
synonymous （同义的） with willpower — controlling desires with pure
force of will. By contrast， current psychological thinking suggests that
there are many actions and thoughts people can take to direct their choices
without having to resort to the strength of will. These self-control
strategies can make goal-oriented choices easier and temptation-oriented
choices less likely.
For example， one might avoid tempting situations altogether，
make some choices more accessible （for example， by leaving credit
cards at home and bringing only limited amounts of cash）， focus
attention strategically （for example， looking at the price tag rather than
the specs of a product）， or remind oneself of one’s goals when faced
with temptations （for example， by writing them down and bringing the
piece of paper along）. Self-control strategies help people to stay on track
with their goals and resist temptations.
However， do people feel — like my friend — that using strategies is
a “trick”， whereas willpower is the “real deal”？ What do people
think of a person who is using self-control strategies？
According to our studies， participants consistently rated people who
were described as using strategies as lower in self-control than people who
were described as using willpower. Diminishing strategies as “tricks”
was linked to less willingness to use self-control strategies in our studies.
My friend might be more open to “tricks” that help her son limit his
spending as the understanding of what self-control means changes. Self-
control strategies are an important part of realising goals and resisting
temptations. Self-control does not have to be hard. It can also mean
arranging the world and one’s mind to make good choices more likely.
