A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland. “I thought that someone was pranking me,” said Genovefa Klonovska after being handed the letter, which included a handmade colored rose and two paper dolls.
The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole (通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius. Jurgis Vilnius, owner of the building immediately called the post office. “I’m so happy they got interested,” said he.
Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to. Only five were found. In several cases children of late recipients were handed a lost letter.
“We felt a moral duty to do this,” said Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of the customer experience department at Lithuania Post.
One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottle thrown into sea. People were emotional. “Some felt they saw a part of daily life of their deceased parents,” Zebrauskaite said.
In the letter to Klonovska, sent from Koezary in Poland and stamped in 1970, a girl named Ewa complains buses no longer reach her village, so she has to walk in minus 23 degree Celsius cold, and asks for pictures of actors.
Now in her 60s, Klonovska has no memory of Ewa. She probably wrote Ewa after finding her address advertising for pen pals in a newspaper, and the relationship ceased after the letter got undelivered.
“So good that the letter didn't matter much. The loss was not life-changing,” said Klonovska “What if they delivered a lost letter from a suitor (求婚者) to his love, and their wedding never happened?”
4. What does the underlined word “pranking” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Brightening. B. Embarrassing. C. Tricking. D. Pleasing.
5. What happened to the letters in Paragraph 2?
A. They were accidentally found.
B. They remained well-preserved.
C. They were delivered by the former post office.
D. They were hidden by the owner of the building.
6. Which of the following best describes the present post office in Vilnius?
A. Generous. B. Dutiful. C. Honest. D. Cautious.
7. What can we learn from what Klonovska said?
A Klonovska refused a suitor.
B. Klonovska stopped the wedding.
C. The undelivered letter ruined the relationship.
D. The undelivered letter made little difference to her.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是今年夏天，维尔纽斯郊区的一家前邮局的一堵墙被拆掉时发现了18封很久以前发出的信，邮局工作人员很负责任地花了数月时间寻找合适的收信人。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland.（一封写给立陶宛一名12岁女孩的信于去年12月才送达，但距波兰笔友寄出这封信的时间已经近51年了。）”可知，立陶宛的女孩收到了51年前寄给她的信，由此推知当她收到信时，她难以相信，甚至可能觉得有人捉弄她，结合选项和女孩的话“I thought that someone was pranking me,”可推知，划线词pranking的意思是“欺骗”，即Tricking，故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole (通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius.（今年夏天，维尔纽斯郊区一家前邮局的一堵墙被推倒，这封信连同另外17封信从通风孔里掉了出来，既脏又皱。）”可知，那些信是偶然发现的，故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to.（维尔纽斯的街道名称和编号都发生了变化，邮局工作人员花了数月时间寻找合适的房屋，并与当前的租客和邻居交谈，追踪收件人搬到了哪里。）”及第四段的“We felt a moral duty to do this（我们觉得这样做是一种道义上的责任）”可推知，邮局费劲地寻找收信人，说明邮局是尽职的，即Dutiful，故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Klonovska的话“So good that the letter didn’t matter much. The loss was not life-changing（好在这封信无关紧要。损失并没有改变生活）”可知，那封未送达的信对Klonovska没有什么影响。故选D。
C
When evaluating people on various psychological tests, psychologists often distinguish between markers of absolute performance and relative performance. Absolute performance reflects the raw measurement of something, like the time it takes to run a mile. Relative performance is how a person rates in relation to their peers, as in what place a runner gets in a race.
The standards we use to evaluate ourselves are almost always relative, as we compare ourselves to our peers and the standards that are most familiar to us. For instance, in my private practice, I have one patient I will call “Omar” who is dependent on social services and makes less than $30,000 per year at his job. While this level of poverty would lead most people to wake up depressed each day, Omar is one of the most optimistic and appreciative individuals I know. Why? Because most of his closest peers — his siblings and friends from childhood — have lives far worse than his.
In contrast to Omar, I have another patient, an adolescent I’ll call “Lena”, whose family has property over $5 million. Lena, however, lives in an upper-class neighborhood where her family is at the lower end of the income level. Though Lena's family allows her to enjoy possessions and experiences that less than I percent of her peers across the world can share, she consistently feels “less than”. Why? Because Lena doesn't compare herself to the rest of the world; This is too abstract an exercise for her, as it would be for most of us.
Accordingly, whether a psychologist is psychodynamic or cognitive-behavioral, therapy (疗法) with individuals struggling with situational or psychological depression aims to solve the problems associated with basing one's self-worth on comparisons with others. Psychologists try to help people focus on personal growth around the achievement of concrete goals in line with their values. independent of the achievement of others. For all of us, defining these goals, especially during Periods of emotional calm, can go a long way in helping us to avoid the trap of relativity that often leads to situational and psychological depression.
8. What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A. To show the significance of evaluating people.
B. To motivate readers to study psychological tests.
C. To help people perform well in psychological tests.
D. To provide some background information on evaluating people.
9. Why does the author mention his two patients?
A. To measure different achievement.
B. To introduce the standards to evaluate people.
C. To explain relative performance with examples.
D. To contrast relative performance and absolute performance.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Setting goals in life is essential for everyone.
B. It's important to avoid unhealthy comparisons.
C. A sense of achievement can affect one's happiness,
D. Improving self-worth can help get rid of depression.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Happiness: Is it all relative?
B. Self-worth: Is it measurable?
C. Self-worth: Is it based on efforts?
D. Happiness: Is it associated with achievement?
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章话题为“幸福是否与成就有关？”文章通过两个幸福与收入的不同的相对性表现进行了论证，并建议大家要避免陷入不健康的攀比。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When evaluating people on various psychological tests, psychologists often distinguish between markers of absolute performance and relative performance. Absolute performance reflects the raw measurement of something, like the time it takes to run a mile. Relative performance is how a person rates in relation to their peers, as in what place a runner gets in a race.(当通过各种心理测试来评估一个人时，心理学家通常会区分绝对表现和相对表现的标志。绝对性表现能反映了对某些东西的原始衡量，比如跑一英里所需的时间。相对性表现是指一个人在与其同伴的比较中如何评价自己，比如一个跑步者在比赛中所处的位置)”可知，第一段提供了一些信息：心理学家用“绝对性表现“和“相对性表现”来做评估区分。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“While this level of poverty would lead most people to wake up depressed each day, Omar is one of the most optimistic and appreciative individuals I know. Why? Because most of his closest peers — his siblings and friends from childhood — have lives far worse than his.(虽然这种贫困水平会导致大多数人每天醒来都很沮丧，奥马尔是我认识的最乐观、最有欣赏力的人之一。为什么?因为他最亲密的同龄人——他的兄弟姐妹和童年朋友——的生活比他糟糕得多)”可知，Omar尽管收入不高，但是他是他的圈子里钱最多的，所以他乐观；第三段第一句“In contrast to Omar, I have another patient, an adolescent I’ll call ‘Lena’, whose family has property over $5 million. Lena, however, lives in an upper-class neighborhood where her family is at the lower end of the income level.Though Lena's family allows her to enjoy possessions and experiences that less than 1 percent of her peers across the world can share, she consistently feels ‘less than’. (与奥马尔不同的是，我还有一个病人，我称她为“莉娜”，她的家庭财产超过500万美元。然而，莱娜住在一个上流社会的社区，她的家庭收入在这个社区里属于水平较低的。虽然莉娜的家庭允许她享受不到世界上1%的同龄人能分享的财产和经历，但她始终感到‘不足’)”可知，Lena在她的社区里属于下层地位，尽管她已经很有钱。通过两个案例，作者介绍了什么叫做幸福和收入的相对性表现。故选C项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段最后一句“For all of us, defining these goals, especially during Periods of emotional calm, can go a long way in helping us to avoid the trap of relativity that often leads to situational and psychological depression.(对我们所有人来说，确定这些目标，特别是在情绪平静的时期，可有利于我们避免落入相对型表现的陷阱，它经常导致情境性心理抑郁)”可知，情境性心理抑郁是不健康的比较方式造成的，所以我们得避免陷入它的陷阱。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文分析文章结构可知，第一段介绍说当通过各种心理测试来评估一个人时，心理学家通常会区分绝对性表现和相对性表现的标志。第二、三段通过两个例子介绍了不同的幸福与收入的相对性表现：穷的人过得很开心，有钱的依旧在喊穷。第四段则介绍对于那些患有情境性或心理抑郁症的人应该避免陷入相对性表现的陷阱。所以，D项“Happiness: Is it associated with achievement?(幸福：它与成就有关吗?)”，符合题意。故选D项。

D
A study of teenage girls’ selfie-taking (自拍) behaviors found that taking and sharing selfies on social media is not linked to poor body image or appearance concerns. However, when adolescent girls spend too much time struggling over which photo of themselves to post, or rely heavily on editing apps to alter their images, there may be cause for concern.
The study, by researchers at the University of Arizona, found that selfie editing and time invested in creating and selecting the perfect selfie were both related to self-objectification, which led to body shame, appearance anxiety and more negative appearance evaluations in teen girls. “Self-objectification is the idea that you come to think of yourself as an external object to be viewed by other people,” said senior study author Jennifer Aubrey, an associate professor at the UA.
Based on a study of 278 teenage girls, “Our main finding was that we really shouldn’t be too worried about kids who take selfies and share them; that’s not where the negative effects come from. It’s the investment and the editing that yielded negative effects,” Aubrey said. “Selfie editing and selfie investment predicted self-objectification, and girls who self-objectify were more likely to feel shameful about their bodies or anxious about their appearance.”
“Self-objectification is the pathway to so many things in adolescence that we want to prevent,” Aubrey said. “So, interventions really should focus on how we can encourage girls to develop an awareness of themselves that doesn’t only depend on what they look like to other people.” The researchers said parents and caregivers of adolescent girls should be aware that if a teen seems to be obsessed (痴迷的), it might be time for a talk.
The researchers also note that there can be different motivations for sharing selfies. “Selfies are a part of the media landscape, but you should post them for reasons other than trying to get people to admire your appearance or your body.” Aubrey said. With an estimated 93 million selfies taken each day, they aren’t going away anytime soon, nor should they. The important thing to remember is: Selfies aren’t bad. Just don’t obsess.
12. What behavior of adolescent girls may cause concern?
A. Taking selfies.
B. Caring about their images.
C. Sharing selfies on social media.
D. Overusing editing apps to beautify their images.
13. From the text, what can we learn about self-objectification?
A. It predicts selfie investment. B. It is linked to selfie obsession.
C. It prevents problems in adolescence. D. It contributes to objective evaluation.
14. What should interventions center on?
A. When to have a talk with teen girls. B. When to end selfie-taking behaviors.
C. How to help form a healthy self-awareness. D. How to prevent teenage girls' craze for selfies.
15. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A travel brochure. B. A science newspaper.
C. A psychology textbook. D. An entertainment magazine.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。自拍编辑以及花在创造和选择一张完美自拍上的时间都与自我物化有关，这会导致青少年女孩对自己的身体感到羞耻、外貌焦虑和更消极的外貌评价，文章介绍了自我物化以及形成健康的自我意识的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“However, when adolescent girls spend too much time struggling over which photo of themselves to post, or rely heavily on editing apps to alter their images, there may be cause for concern.”(然而，当青春期女孩花太多时间纠结于发布哪张自己的照片，或者严重依赖编辑应用程序来修改自己的照片时，可能会引起担忧。)可知，过度使用编辑应用程序来美化照片可能会引起担忧。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The study, by researchers at the University of Arizona, found that selfie editing and time invested in creating and selecting the perfect selfie were both related to self-objectification”(亚利桑那大学的研究人员进行的这项研究发现，自拍编辑以及花在创造和选择一张完美自拍上的时间都与自我物化有关)和第三段中“Selfie editing and selfie investment predicted self-objectification”(自拍编辑和投入时间和精力自拍预示着了自我物化。)可推知，自我物化与花时间和精力进行自拍编辑，与沉迷于自拍有关。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“So, interventions really should focus on how we can encourage girls to develop an awareness of themselves that doesn’t only depend on what they look like to other people.”(所以，干预措施真正应该关注的是我们如何鼓励女孩培养自我意识，而不是仅仅依赖于她们在别人眼中的样子。)可知，干预应以如何帮助形成健康的自我意识为中心。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段“A study of teenage girls’ selfie-taking (自拍) behaviors found that taking and sharing selfies on social media is not linked to poor body image or appearance concerns. However, when adolescent girls spend too much time struggling over which photo of themselves to post, or rely heavily on editing apps to alter their images, there may be cause for concern.”(一项针对十几岁女孩自拍行为的研究发现，在社交媒体上自拍和分享自拍与不良的身体形象或外表问题无关。然而，当青春期女孩花太多时间纠结该上传哪张自己的照片，或者严重依赖于编辑应用程序来修改图片时，可能就有理由担心了。)可知，文章介绍了与青少年心理健康相关的科学研究，再结合文章最后的建议“The important thing to remember is: Selfies aren’t bad. Just don’t obsess.(重要的是要记住：自拍并不糟糕。只是别沉迷。)”可推知，文章很可能来自一份科学报。故选B。

It's hard to imagine what your favorite song would be ____37____ a chorus (副歌). But the connection runs even deeper than that. A few years back, psychologists at the University of California, San Diego, _____38_____ (discover) when words or phrases are repeated a few times, they can start to sound _____39_____ (much) like singing than speaking.

So they collected clips of 20 different _____43_____ (environment) sounds, including water dripping, ice cracking, whales calling and so on. _____44_____ they found is that as the repeats accumulated, the participants rated the sounds as being more tuneful.

【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：重复的音乐化能力似乎延伸到了比言语更广泛的声音。a variety of意为“各种各样的”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用冠词a。故填a。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
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。
As a nurse at the cancer care center where I’ve worked for seven years, I’ll do almost anything to make a patient feel better. But when I met Patty at the center, in 2011, she didn’t want my help.
She was a tiny 44-year-old single mom battling an aggressive head and neck cancer. Unlike many of our other patients, Patty was alone during her treatment, but no matter what I did. I couldn't get her to open up. She just buried herself in book or pulled a blanket over her head to fend off conversation.
Eventually I hit on a reliable way to make Patty smile: mentioning her nine-year-old son, Stephen. She'd tell me how well he did in school, how he'd been selected to read a poem he wrote at a local bookstore. She desperately wanted to live for him. With three kids myself, I totally understood how she felt.
After a year and a half of treatment, in August 2012, Patty was told her cancer had spread, and I learned she wouldn't live much longer. My first thought was, “What's going to happen to Stephen?”
Nurses at the center shared stories at their meetings about how bright and unusual the boy was. but no one seemed to know how to resolve the issue of what would happen to him when his mom died. My husband, Michael, who too works at the center, started hearing about Patty and Stephen.
One morning in October, Patty quietly slipped away. Michael and I picked Stephen up after school, drove him to a nearby park, and sat on a bench by a pond. I finally managed to say, “Stephen, we're sorry to have to tell you this, but your mom came to an end this morning.” The sound that came out of his mouth was like nothing I'd ever heard before. This skinny little guy sat between the two of us and just wailed (哀号) and wailed. It was as if his whole world was just destroyed.

Something inside me was telling me what to do.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, we took him home with us.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Something inside me was telling me what to do. I wanted to help the poor boy. Although I had three children of my own and a modest family income, I decided to adopt the boy. I told my husband what I thought, and he immediately agreed, saying, "That's exactly what I wanted to tell you." I told the boy we would give him a home and take care of him for his mother. The boy nodded, crying.
Finally, we took him home with us. We introduced Stephen to our three children and told them that he would live with us in the future. My children happily accepted and warmly took Steven to visit his new home and discussed making room for Steven. I was glad that my children were so kind and willing to share everything with other children. Stephen soon integrated into our family and lived a happy life with us.
