Once I tld smene I wanted t get a master’s degree f fine arts in creative writing and they tld me it was the secnd-t-wrst pst-graduatin plan they’d ever heard frm a student. Arts degrees — especially fine arts degrees, which usually cme in the frm f music, studi art, creative writing and theater — have been, ver the years, labeled useless.
It’s true that fr the mst part, STEM degrees lead t higher paying jbs than liberal and fine arts degrees, and it’s understandable why yung peple care abut a higher starting salary and financial security. Student lan debt is playing a rle in the physical and mental stress f yung peple.
And while STEM majrs usually have starting salaries that are $20,000 higher than thse f liberal arts majrs, by the time peple reach the age f 40, the salaries between thse wh majred in the liberal arts and thse wh majred in STEM are virtually the same. Fr example, wmen wh majr in STEM earned nearly 50% mre than scial science and histry majrs at ages 23-25, but nly 10% mre by ages 38-40, a New Yrk Times analysis reprted. S even in terms f salary, which desn’t slely determine whether r nt a degree is useful, liberal arts degrees aren’t all that far behind STEM.
It seems t that since peple nwadays are ging t have t wrk lnger, it’s mre imprtant than ever that we actually like and care abut what we’re ding. Pursuing smething enjyable, r else a passin, is cntinuusly fund t be a key factr in maintaining healthy relatinships, mental health, physical health and energy. In ther wrds, nt useless.
Art is als a methd f cmmunicatin. It allws peple frm different backgrunds, frm different walks f life t cmmunicate with each ther. In a wrld where brders and divisin seem t be all ver the place, we need art mre than ever. We need liberal arts majrs. And mre than anything, we need t be able t pursue what we lve with cnfidence, and we need t nt get caught up in the “usefulness” f what we lve.
And just because smene’s primary jb isn’t in their field f study — a writer wh teaches high schl fr example— desn’t make the degree useless. It just means that their way f finding a stable incme is different. The same ges fr artists wh have t wrk multiple jbs t supprt themselves. They might have t find ther means f supprting themselves and their artistry. It might be cpy editing r it might be tutring.
S I am ging t graduate schl, and I am ging t graduate schl fr writing. I might be paying rent by way f vernight restaurant shifts — there’s s much I’m nt sure f. But ne thing I am sure f is this — I wuld rather be a writer wrking tw jbs t pay my bills than be n writer at all.
4. A New Yrk Times analysis reprt is mentined in Paragraph 3 t ______.
A. analyse the ptential value f different majrs
B. put frward the pinin n majrs by example
C. prve the argument against arts degrees wrng
D. demnstrate the link between majrs and incmes
5. Why des the authr think learning arts is useful?
A. Fllwing ne’s dream f arts keeps ne in gd cnditin.
B. Ding what ne lves builds up ne’s self-cnfidence in arts.
C. Mastering arts imprves ne’s understanding f different jbs.
D. Develping a lve fr arts helps ne maintain passin fr wrk.
6. The authr thinks that ding multiple jbs is _______.
A. unavidableB. cmmn
C. traditinalD. acceptable
7. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. Students learning arts are mre cncerned abut the value f life.
B. Peple tend t place incme in the first place when chsing majrs.
C. The man wh desn’t lve his wrk wn’t stick with the jb fr lng.
D. Graduates can find a brader space f develpment in the field f arts.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章中作者主要议论了艺术学位是否是无用的问题，作者认为薪水并不能完全决定一个学位是否有用，学习艺术是有用的，是因为追求艺术梦想能使人保持良好状态。作者还指出仅仅因为一个人的主要工作不是在他们的研究领域——例如，一个在高中教书的作家——并不会使学位毫无用处。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中S even in terms f salary, which desn’t slely determine whether r nt a degree is useful, liberal arts degrees aren’t all that far behind STEM.可知因此，即使就薪水而言，文科学位也不比STEM差那么多。薪水并不能完全决定一个学位是否有用。由此可推知，在第三段提到了一篇《纽约时报》分析报告，是为了证明反对艺术学位的论点是错误的。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Pursuing smething enjyable, r else a passin, is cntinuusly fund t be a key factr in maintaining healthy relatinships, mental health, physical health and energy. In ther wrds, nt useless.可知人们不断发现，追求愉快的事情，或者激情，是维持健康人际关系、心理健康、身体健康和精力的关键因素。换句话说，不是没用的。由此可知，作者认为学习艺术是有用的，是因为追求艺术梦想能使人保持良好状态。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中The same ges fr artists wh have t wrk multiple jbs t supprt themselves. They might have t find ther means f supprting themselves and their artistry. It might be cpy editing r it might be tutring.可知同样的道理也适用于那些为了养活自己而不得不做多份工作的艺术家们。他们可能不得不寻找其他的方式来养活自己和自己的艺术才华。可能是编辑稿件，也可能是辅导。由此可推知，作者认为做多份工作是可以接受的。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中It’s true that fr the mst part, STEM degrees lead t higher paying jbs than liberal and fine arts degrees, and it’s understandable why yung peple care abut a higher starting salary and financial security.可知的确，在大多数情况下，STEM学位比文科和美术学位能找到薪水更高的工作，所以年轻人关心起薪更高和经济保障也是可以理解的。由此可推知，人们在选择专业时往往把收入放在第一位。故选B。
C
I always tld my children that they were smart all the time. Especially in the first years f their life, their rapid acquisitin f skills and language felt nthing shrt f miraculus, even thugh it culd nt be mre cmmn. I have a particularly clear memry f watching my daughter figure ut hw t make a Magna-Tile huse that wuld stand up n its wn, and thinking, “Yu’re a tiny architectural genius. Mm is prud f yu.”
But sme research recmmends that we nt tell ur children they’re “smart” when they d impressive things. When I first heard it, I instinctively disagreed. But after ding in-depth research, I was persuaded. It all ges back t “grwth mindset”, which hlds the cncept that yu can change yur abilities thrugh effrt and strategy. The alternative t a grwth mindset is a “fixed mindset” — the idea that yur abilities are inbrn and can’t be changed. When we praise ur children fr being “smart” based n triumphs, like slving a prblem r ding well n a test. we’re uncnsciusly encuraging them t believe that if they d prly r make mistakes, they’re nt smart.
And it’s nt just what we say abut ur children’s triumphs that matters — it’s hw we tlerate their setbacks. A study led by Kyla Haimvits, PhD, shws if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are mre likely t be derailed by mistakes. But it’s subtle. Fr example, Dr. Haimvitz explains, yur children may be struggling with early math cncepts and yu may say smething like “Nt everyne needs t be gd at numbers” as a way t cmfrt them. But what yu’re really ding is implying that their math abilities are already set, and unchangeable.
Whatever yu say t yur kids, it’s abut getting them cmfrtable with failures, big and small. Here are sme tips frm Dr. Haimvitz.
One way is t praise kids’ effrt rather than their intelligence. As Dr. Haimvitz pinted ut, if we praise a kid fr a schl prject he finished in five minutes, he wuld knw ur praise is empty. Instead, we can ask him questins abut hw he did it, which can help us knw hw t praise future effrts. Als, we can talk abut ur mistakes. We dn’t have t deny we have negative emtinal reactins. But if we highlight ur missteps and explain hw we persevered, ur children can learn t d the same.
8. What did the authr tend t d in parenting?
A. She tried t develp her kids’ intelligence.
B. She always spared time t accmpany her kids.
C. She ften gave encuragement and supprt t her kids.
D. She taught her kids nt t be afraid f making mistakes.
9. Why shuldn’t parents always praise children fr their intelligence?
A. Because it wuld make children unwilling t try harder.
B. Because children wuld be impatient f hearing cmpliments.
C. Because children wuld becme vercnfident after being praised.
D. Because it wuld make children dubt themselves when they d wrng.
10. Which can best replace the underlined wrd “derailed” in paragraph 3?
A. Trapped.B. Received.C. Seized.D. Alerted.
11. Which f the fllwing des Dr. Haimvitz suggest parents d?
A. Figure ut a slutin tgether with kids.
B. Fcus n kids’ prcess f cmpleting a task.
C. Get kids engaged in educatinal activities.
D. Try t avid expressing negative emtins.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。研究发现表扬孩子可能造成不好的结果。对于孩子的优秀表现，家长应该肯定他的努力付出得到了回报，而非夸赞他的聪明。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I always tld my children that they were smart all the time. Especially in the first years f their life, their rapid acquisitin f skills and language felt nthing shrt f miraculus, even thugh it culd nt be mre cmmn. I have a particularly clear memry f watching my daughter figure ut hw t make a Magna-Tile huse that wuld stand up n its wn, and thinking, “Yu’re a tiny architectural genius. Mm is prud f yu.””（我总是告诉我的孩子们，他们很聪明。尤其是在他们生命的最初几年，他们对技能和语言的快速掌握简直是奇迹，尽管这种情况再普遍不过了。我还特别清楚地记得，看着我的女儿弄清楚如何做一个可以自己站立的大瓦房，我想，“你是一个小小的建筑天才。妈妈为你感到骄傲。”）可知，作者从不吝惜对孩子们的称赞和表扬，在育儿方面采取的是鼓励和支持的方法。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“When we praise ur children fr being “smart” based n triumphs, like slving a prblem r ding well n a test. we’re uncnsciusly encuraging them t believe that if they d prly r make mistakes, they’re nt smart.”（当我们基于成功而称赞孩子“聪明”时，比如解决了一个问题或在考试中取得了好成绩。我们无意识地鼓励他们相信，如果他们做得不好或犯了错误，他们就不聪明。）可知，称赞孩子“聪明”会使孩子在犯了错或做得不好时怀疑自己不够聪明，这就是父母不应该总是称赞孩子的聪明的原因。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句“A study led by Kyla Haimvits, PhD, shws if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are mre likely t be derailed by mistakes.”（凯拉·海莫维茨博士领导的一项研究表明，如果父母认为失败是可耻的，他们的孩子就更有可能被错误……。）并结合后文例子“Fr example, Dr. Haimvitz explains, yur children may be struggling with early math cncepts and yu may say smething like “Nt everyne needs t be gd at numbers” as a way t cmfrt them. But what yu’re really ding is implying that their math abilities are already set, and unchangeable.”（例如，海莫维茨博士解释说，你的孩子可能对早期的数学概念感到困惑，你可能会说“不是每个人都需要擅长数字”这样的话来安慰他们。但你实际上是在暗示他们的数学能力是固定的，不可改变的。）可知，父母对待失败的错误方式会对孩子产生消极的暗示，说明如果父母认为失败是可耻的，那孩子们对待失败的态度也不会积极，会消极的看待失败，更可能会困在失败和错误之中，无法迎难而上。故推测derailed应表示“阻挠”，与trapped“受困，使受限”含义一致。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段前三句“One way is t praise kids’ effrt rather than their intelligence. As Dr. Haimvitz pinted ut, if we praise a kid fr a schl prject he finished in five minutes, he wuld knw ur praise is empty. Instead, we can ask him questins abut hw he did it, which can help us knw hw t praise future effrts.”（一种方法是表扬孩子的努力，而不是他们的智力。正如海莫维茨博士指出的那样，如果我们表扬一个孩子在五分钟内完成了一项学校作业，他会知道我们的表扬是空洞的。相反，我们可以问他是如何做到的，这可以帮助我们知道如何赞扬未来的努力。）可知，海莫维茨博士建议我们要表扬孩子为了完成任务付出的努力，而不是他们的智力。他认为可以通过关注孩子完成任务的过程而不是空洞地表扬任务完成的结果来肯定孩子的表现。故选B项。

An almst limitless supply f fresh water exists in the frm f tiny drps abve Earth’s ceans, yet remains undevelped, researchers said. A new study frm the University f Illinis Urbana-Champaign is the first t suggest an investment in a new structure able t harvest ceanic water vapr(蒸气)as a slutin t limited supplies f fresh water in varius places arund the wrld.
Previus wastewater recycling, clud seeding and desalinatin(海水脱盐)techniques have met with nly limited success. Thugh built in sme areas acrss the glbe, desalinatin plants face envirnmental prblems because the salt water and wastewater they create are full f heavy metal.
“Eventually, we will need t find a way t increase the supply f fresh water as cnservatin and recycled water frm existing surces, thugh vital, will nt be enugh t meet human needs. We think ur methd can d that better,” civil and envirnmental engineering prfessr Praveen Kumar said.
The study assessed the pssibility f a hypthetical (假定的)structure that can trap water vapr frm abve the cean and transfrm it int fresh water. The researchers perfrmed atmspheric and ecnmic analyses f the placement f hypthetical ffshre structures 210 meters in width and 100 meters in height. Thrugh their analyses, the researchers cncluded that this methd is wrkable fr many water-stressed regins wrldwide.
One frceful predictin f climate change is that dry regins will get drier, and wet areas will get wetter. The current regins experiencing water shrtage will likely be even drier in the future, wrsening the prblem. Hwever, the climate predictin shws that the ceanic vapr flw will increase ver time, prviding even mre fresh water supplies. S, the idea will be wrkable under climate change. This prvides a much needed and effective apprach t adaptatin t climate change.
The fact that this suggested slutin wrks like the natural water cycle is ne f its elegant aspects. “The difference is that we can guide where the water vapr frm the cean ges,” prfessr Francina Dminguez said.
12. Where is the new technlgy designed t get fresh water frm?
A. The wastewater.B. The rainfall.
C. The cean.D. The air.
13. What is the functin f paragraph 2?
A. Adding backgrund infrmatin.B. Stating effects f traditinal methds.
C. Intrducing ways t get fresh water.D. Leading in a new tpic fr discussin.
14. Hw d the researchers get their findings?
A. By analyzing an assumptin.B. By studying causes and effects.
C. By cnducting labratry tests.D. By referring t previus research.
15. Which can be a suitable title f the text?
A. The Ocean: A Ptential Surce f Fresh Water
B. Wastewater Recycling: A Methd N Lnger Practical
C. Climate Change: A Cntinuus Threat t the Whle Wrld
D. Ocean Vapr Trapping Structure: A Slutin t Water Shrtage
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章讲述了海洋上空的水蒸气中存在着几乎无限的淡水供应，但仍未被开发。一项新研究建议收集海洋水蒸气，以解决世界多地淡水供应有限的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“An almst limitless supply f fresh water exists in the frm f tiny drps abve Earth’s ceans, yet remains undevelped(地球海洋上方以微小水滴的形式存在着几乎无限的淡水供应，但尚未得到开发。)”和“A new study frm the University f Illinis Urbana-Champaign is the first t suggest an investment in a new structure able t harvest ceanic water vapr(蒸气)as a slutin t limited supplies f fresh water in varius places arund the wrld. (伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校(University f Illinis Urbana-Champaign)的一项新研究首次建议投资一种能够收集海洋水蒸气的新结构，以解决世界各地淡水供应有限的问题。)”可知，地球海洋上空的水蒸气中存在着几乎无限的淡水供应，但仍未被开发。一项新研究首次建设投资能够收集海洋水蒸气的新结构体。由此可知，这项新技术是被用来从海洋上方的空气中获取淡水的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Previus wastewater recycling, clud seeding and desalinatin(海水脱盐)techniques have met with nly limited success. Thugh built in sme areas acrss the glbe, desalinatin plants face envirnmental prblems because the salt water and wastewater they create are full f heavy metal.( 以前的废水回收、人工降雨和海水淡化技术只取得了有限的成功。虽然海水淡化厂建在世界各地的一些地区，但它们面临着环境问题，因为它们产生的盐水和废水充满了重金属。)”可知，以前的废水回收、云催化和海水脱盐技术只取得了有限的成功。尽管海水脱盐厂已在全球一些地区建立起来，但由于产生的盐水和废水中含有大量重金属，海水脱盐厂面临着环保问题。再结合第三段中提到的“we will need t find a way t increase the supply f fresh needs(我们需要找到一种方法来增加淡水的供应，因为从现有资源中节约用水和循环水虽然至关重要，但仍不足以满足人类的需要。)”可知，第二段是对新技术的开发背景的介绍。故选A。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国的闰月，以及闰月的传统和习俗。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：“闰月”是指一个重复的月份，今年将有两个二月。分析句子结构可知，空处缺谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语“Leap mnth”是第三人称单数，故填refers。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：闰月的设置是为了填补一年中阳历和阴历之间的天数差距，是11天或12天，以确保四季基本符合月份。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句缺主语，先行词是“the gap f days”，指物，故用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：闰月的设置是为了填补一年中阳历和阴历之间的天数差距，是11天或12天，以确保四季基本符合月份。分析句子结构可知，空处需填副词作状语，修饰动词“fit”。故填basically。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在中国的闰月有一些传统和习俗，在不同的地方是不同的。根据“which are”可知，空处需填形容词作表语，varied和varius作形容词，都表示“各种各样的，不同的”，但varius通常用作定语，修饰名词，varied可作表语。故填varied。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：在中国东部山东省的一些地区，出嫁的女儿会给父母送面团做的鱼或和蟾蜍，这分别象征着“财富”和“健康”。分析句子结构可知，定语从句缺谓语动词，描述客观情况用一般现在时，从句主语which指代先行词“dugh-made fish and dugh-made tad”，表示复数意义，故谓语动词用原形。故填symblize。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：此外，据说面鱼是送给妈妈的，面蟾蜍是送给爸爸的。分析句子结构可知，空处缺主语，结合句意可知，主语是that引导的主语从句，故空处缺形式宾语。故填it。
【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：在中国东南部的台湾省，这种传统在闰月也保持了很长一段时间。分析句子结构可知，空处缺谓语动词，根据时间状语“fr a lng time”可知，用现在完成时，主语“such traditins”和“keep”之间是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是复数，故填have been kept。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：出嫁的女儿要给妈妈买猪脚和细面，通常是两个前猪脚和六串细面，面要用红丝线和春花扎好。根据“six”可知，空处需填名词复数。故填bunches。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：和其他节日一样，团圆饭也是闰月不可缺少的传统。结合句意可知，团圆饭是闰月众多传统中的一个，介词amng表示“在……之中”，符合句意。故填amng。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当闰月到来时，父母会邀请出嫁的女儿回家一起吃饭，祝愿幸福和好运。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“will invite”，故空处需填非谓语动词，“cherish”的逻辑主语是前面的句子，两者之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故填cherishing。
