When school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything I did, including playing volleyball. I decided to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.
As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn’t listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet, but I was going to. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldn’t make me stop, and walked away.
A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.
Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing?” I looked up and saw the familiar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.”
When I think of a coach I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction-not a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn’t deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.
24. How did the author feel when the author ate a poor diet and had a sense of tiredness?

B. She decided to improve her performance.
C. She was grateful for Smith’s care for her health.
D. She wanted to build a close relationship with Smith.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Unexpected Friendship B. A Fight with My Coach
C. A Strict Volleyball Coach D. My Way of Losing Weight
C
As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of non-aerobic exercise-balance training and weight training-three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic (有氧) exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
28. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?
A. The right way of exercising. B. The aging process of the heart.
C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The causes of a heart attack.
29. What does Levine’s research find?
A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
30 What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest?
A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants.
C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study.
D
The biggest criticism(批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by Allen et al. found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. They also found that our online friendships actually allow us to have discussions with a much more diverse set of people than in the real world and improve our psychological happiness.
However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.
Professor Larry D. Rosen, in his book iDisorder, presents evidence that social networking is turning us into narcissists(自恋者). He says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive, and show anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.
Sherry Turkle, a professor of social sciences at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her book, that we are simply “Alone Together”.
These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults.
31. The underlined word “unfounded” in Paragraph I probably means ________.
A. undoubted B. false C. acceptable D. illegal
32. In this passage, the author mainly argues that ________.
A. internet culture causes various problems
B. we are losing some most important emotions
C. online friendships do good to offline friendships
D. social networking affects young people’s personalities
33. According to Sherry Turkle, how can we make make meaningful friendships with others?
A. by getting in touch with online friends
B. by avoiding the problems of social networking
C. by reflecting and getting in touch with ourselves
D. by being alone then having discussions with a much more diverse set of people
34. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. social media have more advantages
B. young people will develop offline friendships
C. young people can’t go without social media
D. we are becoming unable to understand others well

Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___35___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Nobody likes to feel anxious. Anxiety is among the most common and criticized of human emotions. It seems, then, that our efforts to contain (克制) anxiety aren’t working.
As a clinical psychologist and neuroscience researcher, I believe that we mental health professionals have made a terrible mistake. Feeling anxious isn’t the problem. The problem is that we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety. That’s why it’s increasingly hard to know how to feel good.
This “bad” feeling isn’t a failure of mental health. It’s a triumph (巨大胜利) of human evolution: the ability to think about the uncertain future and prepare for it. Anxiety turns you into a mental time traveler drawing your attention to what lies ahead. Will you succeed or fail in that interview for a job you desperately want? Anxiety prompts (推动) your mind and body into action. Your worries force you to prepare thoroughly for the interview, while your heart races and pumps blood to your brain so that you stay sharp and focused, prepared to pursue your goals.
Research has also shown something that many scientists didn’t expect: higher levels of dopamine (多巴胺) when we’re anxious. We have long known that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable. The fact that anxiety also boosts dopamine levels points to its role in making positive possibilities into reality.
Many of us feel overwhelmed by lasting anxiety and don’t see any benefit from it. Treating anxiety like a disease prevents us from distinguishing between ordinary anxiety and anxiety disorders. We need to develop a new mindset about this misunderstood emotion. We don’t need to like anxiety-just to use it in the right way.
40. Why is it increasingly hard for us to know how to feel good?
41. How does anxiety help one in a job interview?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Research has shown that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable, but it is in lower levels when we are anxious.
43. How do you cope with anxiety positively in your daily life?(In about 40 words)

B
When school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything I did, including playing volleyball. I decided to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.
As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn’t listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet, but I was going to. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldn’t make me stop, and walked away.
A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.
Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing?” I looked up and saw the familiar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.”
When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction-not a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn’t deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.
24. How did the author feel when the author ate a poor diet and had a sense of tiredness?
A. Ashamed B. Proud C. Funny D. Nervous
25. The author fought with Coach Smith because ________.
A. she refused to go on a diet. B. she caused failure of her team.
C. she changed the training course. D. she kept her idea of losing weight.
26. Why did the author write a letter to Coach Smith?
A. She felt sorry for eating too little food.
B. She decided to improve her performance.
C. She was grateful for Smith’s care for her health.
D. She wanted to build a close relationship with Smith.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Unexpected Friendship B. A Fight with My Coach
C. A Strict Volleyball Coach D. My Way of Losing Weight
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A

C
As we age, even if we’re healthy, the heart just isn’t as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in their 50s or early 60s. And among people who don’t exercise, the changes can start even sooner.
“Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart. Fortunately for those in midlife, Levine is finding that even if you haven’t been an enthusiastic exerciser, getting in shape now may help improve your aging heart.
Levine and his research team selected volunteers aged between 45 and 64 who did not exercise much but were otherwise healthy. Participants were randomly divided into two groups. The first group participated in a program of non-aerobic exercise-balance training and weight training-three times a week. The second group did high-intensity aerobic (有氧的) exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.
“We took these 50-year-old hearts and turned the clock back to 30-or 35-year-old hearts,” says Levine. “And the reason they got so much stronger and fitter was that their hearts could now fill a lot better and pump a lot more blood during exercise.” But the hearts of those who participated in less intense exercise didn’t change, he says.
“The sweet spot in life to start exercising, if you haven’t already, is in late middle age when the heart still has flexibility,” Levine says. “We put healthy 70-year-olds through a yearlong exercise training program, and nothing happened to them at all.”
Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, says Levine’s findings are a great start. But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.
28. What does Levine want to explain by mentioning the rubber band?
A. The right way of exercising. B. The aging process of the heart.
C. The difficulty of keeping fit. D. The causes of a heart attack.
29. What does Levine’s research find?
A. Middle-aged hearts get younger with aerobic exercise.
B. High-intensity exercise is more suitable for the young.
C. It is never too late for people to start taking exercise.
D. The more exercise we do, the stronger our hearts get.
30. What does Dr. Nieca Goldberg suggest?
A. Making use of the findings. B. Interviewing the study participants.
C. Conducting further research. D. Clarifying the purpose of the study.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了锻炼对于心脏的好处。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““Think of a rubber band. In the beginning, it is flexible, but put it in a drawer for 20 years and it will become dry and easily broken,” says Dr. Ben Levine, a heart specialist at the University of Texas. That’s what happens to the heart.(“想想橡皮筋。一开始,它是灵活的,但把它放在抽屉里20年,它就会变得干燥,很容易破碎,”德克萨斯大学的心脏专家本·莱文博士说。这就是心脏的变化)”可推知,莱文想通过提到橡皮筋来解释心脏的老化过程。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The second group did high-intensity aerobic (有氧的) exercise under the guidance of a trainer for four or more days a week. After two years, the second group saw remarkable improvements in heart health.(第二组在教练的指导下每周进行四天或四天以上的高强度有氧运动。两年后,第二组患者的心脏健康状况显著改善)”可知,Levine的研究发现了通过有氧运动,中年人的心脏会变得更年轻。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the study was small and needs to be repeated with far larger groups of people to determine exactly which aspects of an exercise routine make the biggest difference.(但这项研究的规模很小,需要在更大的人群中重复进行,以确定日常锻炼的哪些方面会产生最大的影响)”可推知,妮卡·戈德堡博士建议进行进一步的研究。故选C。
D
The biggest criticism(批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by Allen et al. found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. They also found that our online friendships actually allow us to have discussions with a much more diverse set of people than in the real world and improve our psychological happiness.
However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.
Professor Larry D. Rosen, in his book iDisorder, presents evidence that social networking is turning us into narcissists(自恋者). He says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive, and show anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.
Sherry Turkle, a professor of social sciences at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her book, that we are simply “Alone Together”.
These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults.
31. The underlined word “unfounded” in Paragraph I probably means ________.
A. undoubted B. false C. acceptable D. illegal
32. In this passage, the author mainly argues that ________.
A. internet culture causes various problems
B. we are losing some most important emotions
C. online friendships do good to offline friendships
D. social networking affects young people’s personalities
33. According to Sherry Turkle how can we make make meaningful friendships with others?
A. by getting in touch with online friends
B. by avoiding the problems of social networking
C. by reflecting and getting in touch with ourselves
D. by being alone then having discussions with a much more diverse set of people
34. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. social media have more advantages
B. young people will develop offline friendships
C. young people can’t go without social media
D. we are becoming unable to understand others well
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讲述了社交网络有助于让我们与比现实世界中更加多元的人交流,提升我们的幸福感,它不会对我们的友谊产生负面影响,但会对我们的性格产生负面影响,所以需要提出建议避免社交网络的问题。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前一句“The biggest criticism (批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends.(对社交网络最大的批评是,我们的年轻人正在让他们的线下朋友被线上朋友夺去。)”可知,目前存在对社交网络的批评,批评的观点认为社交网络会让人们失去线下朋友。结合下句中的“Research by Allen et al. found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships.(Allen等人的研究发现,人们并没有用线上朋友取代线下朋友,而是用他们来支持他们的线下关系。)”可知,研究发现和这些批评的观点并不相符。由此可推测出,这些批评一般来说是没有事实依据的。unfounded意为“不依据事实的”,与B项“错误的,不真实的”意思最接近。故选B。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段最后一句“Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.(研究开始表明,这种文化不对我们的友谊产生负面影响,而是对我们的性格产生负面影响。)”可知,该句话承上启下,总结了作者的论点,即社交网络不会对友谊造成负面影响,但会对人们的性格产生不良影响。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others.(但Turkle认为,独处是我们自我反思并接触到真正自我的一段时间。只有这样,我们才能与他人建立有意义的友谊。)”可知,Turkle认为与他人建立有意义的友谊的方式是自我反思并接触自我。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.(但也许更令人不安的影响是,我们最基本的情绪之一——同理心似乎正在消失。这是把我们联系在一起的情绪;它使我们能够从朋友的角度看世界。如果没有它,我们就无法建立联系并形成有意义的成人关系。)”可知,我们的同理心似乎正在消失,而这种情绪能够让我们与朋友建立联系,从朋友的角度认识世界,失去它的话,我们就无法建立联系并形成有意义的成人关系。由此可推测出,由于我们的同理心似乎正在消失,所以我们越来越不能很好地理解别人的思想。故选D。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

【答案】35. C 36. D 37. B 38. G 39. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。
【35题详解】
根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是:“如果你知道有人在健身房等你,你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴,你将会努力训练,因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知,空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由,故选项应与后文是顺承关系,选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应,选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练,你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。
【36题详解】
根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先,决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康,能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知,这里是一个问句,反问自己结伴锻炼的目的,故空处与后文是选择关系,你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西,但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼,那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知,寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应,选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼,每周多少天,每次培训要花多少小时,以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动,并提供了她的电话号码)”可知,本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例,说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结,符合语意。故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之,你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量,你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知,要学会求同存异,一起合作,共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”,选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”,故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同,学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用,符合语意。故选F项。

第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Nobody likes to feel anxious. Anxiety is among the most common and criticized of human emotions. It seems, then, that our efforts to contain (克制) anxiety aren’t working.
As a clinical psychologist and neuroscience researcher, I believe that we mental health professionals have made a terrible mistake. Feeling anxious isn’t the problem. The problem is that we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety. That’s why it’s increasingly hard to know how to feel good.
This “bad” feeling isn’t a failure of mental health. It’s a triumph (巨大胜利) of human evolution: the ability to think about the uncertain future and prepare for it. Anxiety turns you into a mental time traveler, drawing your attention to what lies ahead. Will you succeed or fail in that interview for a job you desperately want? Anxiety prompts (推动) your mind and body into action. Your worries force you to prepare thoroughly for the interview, while your heart races and pumps blood to your brain so that you stay sharp and focused, prepared to pursue your goals.
Research has also shown something that many scientists didn’t expect: higher levels of dopamine (多巴胺) when we’re anxious. We have long known that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable. The fact that anxiety also boosts dopamine levels points to its role in making positive possibilities into reality.
Many of us feel overwhelmed by lasting anxiety and don’t see any benefit from it. Treating anxiety like a disease prevents us from distinguishing between ordinary anxiety and anxiety disorders. We need to develop a new mindset about this misunderstood emotion. We don’t need to like anxiety-just to use it in the right way.
40. Why is it increasingly hard for us to know how to feel good?
41. How does anxiety help one in a job interview?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Research has shown that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable, but it is in lower levels when we are anxious.
43. How do you cope with anxiety positively in your daily life?(In about 40 words)
【答案】40. Because we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety.
41. Anxiety helps one in a job interview by triggering the mind and body into action. It forces individuals to thoroughly prepare for the interview, while also increasing dopamine levels, which can enhance focus, alertness, and motivation to succeed.
42. Research has shown that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable,but it is in lower levels when we are anxious. According to the passage, we have higher levels of dopamine when we’re anxious.
43. Possible version:Personally, to cope positively with anxiety, I practice mindfulness and deep breathing exercises to calm my mind and body. I also engage in regular physical activity, maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, and seek support from loved ones or mental health professionals when needed.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。焦虑已成为现在社会普遍存在的一种现象,人们将它视为糟糕的情绪,文章讲述了焦虑形成的原因、优缺点及如何应对焦虑。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The problem is that we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety. That's why it’s increasingly hard to know how to feel good. (问题是我们不知道如何建设性地应对焦虑。这就是为什么越来越难知道如何感觉良好)”可知,我们越来越不知道怎样感到快乐的原因是我们不知道如何建设性地去应对焦虑。故答案为:Because we don’t understand how to respond constructively to anxiety.
41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Anxiety prompts your mind and body into action. Your worries force you to prepare thoroughly for the interview, while your heart races and pumps blood to your brain so that you stay sharp and focused, prepared to pursue your goals. (焦虑促使你的思想和身体付诸行动。你的担忧迫使你为面试做了充分的准备,你会心跳加速、大脑充血,这样你就会保持敏锐和专注,为达成目标做好充分准备)”可知,焦虑会促使人的思想和身体付诸行动,帮助他/她在面试中保持敏锐和专注、实现目标。故答案为:Anxiety helps one in a job interview by triggering the mind and body into action. It forces individuals to thoroughly prepare for the interview, while also increasing dopamine levels, which can enhance focus, alertness, and motivation to succeed.
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Research has also shown something that many scientists didn’t expect: higher levels of dopamine (多巴胺) when we’re anxious. (研究也显示了某些科学家们没想到的结果:当我们焦虑时,多巴胺水平更高)”可知,but it is in lower levels when we are anxious这一部分是错误的,按题目要求划线;原因就是根据文章的描述,研究所得结果是:当我们焦虑时,多巴胺水平更高。故答案为:Research has shown that dopamine soars when an experience is pleasurable,but it is in lower levels when we are anxious. According to the passage, we have higher levels of dopamine when we’re anxious.
【43题详解】
开放问答题。根据最后一段中“We have come to believe that the best way to cope is to get rid of it. (我们要相信最后的应对办法就是摆脱它)”和“We need to develop a new mindset about this misunderstood emotion. (我们需要对这种让人误解的情绪有一个新的心态)”及“We don’t need to like anxiety—just to use it in the right way. (我们不需要喜欢焦虑——只是用正确的方式使用它)”可以推测,在日常生活中,我们应该有一个良好的心态来看待焦虑,正确使用它,争取逐渐摆脱它。故答案为:Personally, to cope positively with anxiety, I practice mindfulness and deep breathing exercises to calm my mind and body. I also engage in regular physical activity, maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle, and seek support from loved ones or mental health professionals when needed.

【答案】Dear Jim,
Knowing that you have trouble keeping fit both physically and mentally in your life, I am writing to give you some advice.
As a high school student, none of us is having an easy time, but we still can do something to get through high school successfully. The most important thing is to take care of your body and your mind. Whenever you feel tired or depressed, spare some time to do some exercise with your family and friends. What’s more, making a schedule for your study and personal life is essential to our physical and mental health.
Anyway, don’t push yourself too hard and I’m looking forward to hearing from you again!
Yours,
Li Hua
