You have heard the words “that which does not kill you makes you stronger”. I have found it true. But I also believe in the philosophy that we are not defined (定义) by what happens to us, but by what we do when things happen to us.
Some friends think we have had far more than our share of bad things occur, but I don’t think bad things are shared. They are events that occur as the result of many aspects, sometimes far past our control or even knowledge of them. I am also a firm believer in the laws of unintended consequences — one event causes things that are quite unexpected, sometimes positive, sometimes not.
So as I considered the question of “What motivates me?” and sought an answer, it struck me that I simply refuse to be defeated. I won’t let life or events tear me down to the point at which I am no longer me, or simply stop being.
In 2008, I battled three types of cancer, had four cancer operations, the firm I worked for closed without notice, my wife was in a horrible car accident, got laid off from her company, the economy devastated our life savings, … and that was for starters.
We also lost two family members and my closest friend. He was the last person I would expect to pass away out of our friends. But a disease took hold of him 9 years earlier. His memorial service was filled with love, and many of us told about his joy of life, humor, his achievements, and the challenges he had overcome in his life — which were many and painful. He would not be defeated in his life either.
Today, my wife and I are hand-in-hand, continuing trying to live our lives with dignity, although living it differently from the end of 2007.
4. Which of the following does the author most agree with?
A. We should take our share of bad things.
B. One event may cause many unexpected results.
C. Many bad things could have been prevented by us.
D. Humans are sometimes defined by their surroundings.
5. Which of the following can best describe the author’s experience in 2008?
A. A bad beginning makes a bad ending. B. He who laughs last laughs best.
C. Misfortunes never come alone. D. No pains, no gains.
6. What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Destroyed. B. Increased.
C. Supported. D. Included.
7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To complain. B. To advertise.
C. To encourage. D. To explain.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C

Chris Mazdzer won a silver medal in a men’s luge (无舵雪橇) singles event at 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, South Korea — equaling the best finish ever for any member of the US Olympic luge team. In the luge, competitors lie flat, feet first, on a small sled (雪橇). They can travel around an icy track at speeds up to 140 kilometers an hour. The riders control the sled’s speed by changing the position of their feet or by moving their shoulders.
So why did the US luge team win a medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics? Most credit must go to Chris Mazdzer himself. The American said his win was a product of 16 years of preparation and intense training. But another reason for Mazdzer’s success could have been the 3-D printing technology, which his team used to make its equipment.
The term 3-D is short for three dimensional, meaning an object with length, width and height. In 3-D printing, 3-D models are first created as files, or documents, on a computer. The printer then uses a substance (物质) like plastic or metal to create physical objects. The process involves making one layer of material at a time until the objects reach full form.
The US luge team worked with an American company called Stratasys on the designing and manufacturing process for the sleds. First, the company made a scan, or image, of the body of every member of the luge team. Then, 3-D printing technology was used to create tools for making molds (模子) in the shape of Olympians on top of a sled. The process of designing and tooling sled parts is highly complex and can take several weeks. Officials from the US luge team say 3-D printing can greatly simplify the process, speeding up the production of parts.
Jon Owen, says the use of 3-D printing has made the team more competitive. It helps the team “continuously adjust designs and run the sleds on the track much faster than traditional processes,” he said. He added that the technology also provides a way to perfectly fit each rider to the sled, while cutting production time and costs.
8. According to the author, what mainly contributed to Mazdzer’s winning the medal?
A. His own great efforts. B. His using a new technique.
C. The cooperation with his luge team. D. The US Olympic luge team’s encouragement.
9. To make the sleds for the team, what did the company have to do?
A. To create tools for making sled parts.
B. To take some photos of the members first.
C. To create molds according to the members’ bodies.
D. To ask the Olympians to be present for several weeks.
10. From the last paragraph we learn that 3-D printing most probably __________.
A. saves plenty of competitors’ training time
B. helps competitors achieve their full potential
C. requires great skills of riders to fit the track
D. allows riders to change their sleds continuously
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. How 3-D printing usually works.
B. How we take advantage of 3-D printing.
C. How the US luge team performed this year.
D. How 3-D printing helped Team US go for gold.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias (偏见) in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities. This phenomenon is something you have likely experienced in real life, perhaps at a holiday family gathering. Throughout the course of the meal, a member of your extended family begins spouting off on a topic, boldly announcing that he is correct and that everyone else’s opinion is stupid, uninformed, and just plain wrong. It may be plainly evident to everyone that this person has no idea what he is talking about, but he talks continuously, blithely oblivious (忘乎所以) to his own ignorance.
The effect is named after researchers David Dunning and Justin Kruger, two social psychologists. They found incompetent people are not only poor performers, they are also unable to accurately assess and recognize the quality of their own work. These low performers were also unable to recognize the skill and competence levels of other people, which is part of the reason why they consistently view themselves as better, more capable, and more knowledgeable than others.
This is the reason why students who earn failing scores on exams sometimes feel that they deserved a much higher score. They overestimate their own knowledge and ability and are incapable of seeing the poorness of their performance.
“In many cases, the incompetent are often blessed with an inappropriate confidence, encouraged by something that feels to them like knowledge.” Dunning and his colleagues have also performed experiments where they ask respondents if they are familiar with terms related to subjects including politics, biology, physics, and geography. Along with genuine concepts, they added completely made-up terms. In one such study, approximately 90 percent of respondents claimed that they had at least some knowledge of the made-up terms.
So what can you do to gain a more realistic assessment of your own abilities? Instead of assuming you know all there is to know about a subject, keep digging deeper. Once you gain greater knowledge of a topic, the more likely you are to recognize how much there is still to learn. Another effective strategy involves asking others for constructive criticism. While it can sometimes be difficult to hear, such feedback can provide valuable insights into how others perceive your abilities. Even as you learn more and get feedback, it can be easy to only pay attention to things that confirm what you think you already know. In order to minimize this confirmation bias, keep challenging your beliefs and expectations and seek out information that challenges your ideas.
12. What can we learn about the Dunning-Kruger effect from the first paragraph?
A. The Dunning-Kruger effect is rare for us to confirm.
B. Incompetent people can be blind to their own ignorance.
C. Ignorance leads people to underestimate their own abilities.
D. Poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability have a close connection.
13. According to the Dunning-Kruger effect, what do incompetent people tend to do?
A. Underestimate their own skill levels.
B. Feel more realistic about their competence.
C. Recognize their own mistakes and lack of skills.
D. Fail to recognize the genuine skill of other people.
14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. The meaningless terms may cause respondents to feel ashamed.
B. The participants pretended to know what they actually didn’t know.
C. The aim of the experiments was to assess how smart the participants were.
D. Most of the respondents claimed they were unfamiliar with the make-up terms.
15. Which is the way to overcome the Dunning-Kruger Effect?
A. Ask people for helpful feedbacks.
B. Minimize the bias and challenges.
C. Assume that you know everything.
D. Gain confidence and trust yourself.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.低能力的人没有认清自己无能的能力，因此可知邓宁-克鲁格效应会导致无能的人无法正确认识到自身的不足。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段These low performers were also unable to recognize the skill and competence levels of other people,（这些低能力的人也不无法辨认他人的技术和能力）可知D选项切题。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段the incompetent are often blessed with an inappropriate confidence, encouraged by something that feels to them like knowledge.一句可知这些参与者具有一种不适当的自信心，以及approximately 90 percent of respondents claimed that they had at least some knowledge of the made-up terms.一句可知接近90%的宣称他们至少了解其中一些虚构的术语，故可推知这些人总是会假装知道不知道的东西。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Another effective strategy involves asking others for constructive criticism. While it can sometimes be difficult to hear, such feedback can provide valuable insights into how others perceive your abilities.可知另一个有效的策略是让别人提出建设性的批评，这些反馈可以让你了解到别人对你能力的判断。故选A。

When to Say “No” to Antibiotics (抗生素)
Although they know that antibiotics kill only bacteria but not viruses and the obvious risk of antibiotic overuse to personal health, many doctors still use antibiotics when the drugs are not necessary. ____16____ In some serious cases, the patients with them failed to respond to any medical treatment and died within days. Therefore, several medical organizations have tried to correct antibiotic misuse by explaining when the drugs are not needed.
Ear Diseases
Earaches account for over half of ear related diseases for children. Most earaches gradually heal with no antibiotic in days, especially in children two and older. ____17____ In severe cases or when children under two years old experience moderate to severe pain, antibiotics might be required.
Eye Diseases
Doctors often use antibiotic eye drops after treating related diseases. Macular Degeneration, for example, is an eye disease generally treated with injections or laser operation. But those drops are rarely needed after such procedures and can even damage patients’ eyes.
Lung Diseases
For older patients, particularly those who live in long-term care centers, doctors need to use antibiotics when a routine test finds bacteria in lung. ___18___
Throat Diseases
___19___ Therefore, antibiotics shouldn’t be widely used in treatments for such diseases. Only less than one third of strep throats are bacterial. If you suspect bacterial throat, get tested to find out for sure.
Another report, conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also indicates that antibiotic misuse affects at least two million people annually, killing more than 23,000. ____20____ Therefore, health experts urge all doctors in practice to follow the above instructions.
A. Most throat diseases are caused by viruses.
B. Just wait two days to see if symptoms disappear.
C. But if the result proves normal, the drugs won’t help.
D. In this case, antibiotics are the most effective for the old.
E. Most doctors already know it, so they say no to antibiotics.
F. Under such circumstances, limiting antibiotic misuse is a must.
G. This may develop the “superbugs”, which can’t be easily controlled.
【答案】16. G 17. B
18. C 19. A

考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。前句Most earaches gradually heal with no antibiotic in days, especially in children two and older.大部分耳疼会逐渐在数天内没有抗生素的情况下治愈。因此下面应该是建议患者做什么。B项Just wait two days to see if symptoms disappear.等几天看看是否症状会消失。故B项符合语境。
【18题详解】
考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。前句doctors need to use antibiotics when a routine test finds bacteria in lung.当日常检查发现肺部有细菌的时候医生需要使用抗生素。接下来应该是继续论述什么情况下不应使用，C选项 But if the result proves normal, the drugs won’t help.但是如果结果证明一切正常，那么使用抗生素就不会起到作用了。由此可知C项正好符合本文题意：在何种情况下不应使用抗生素。故C项符合语境。
【19题详解】
考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。根据本段的小标题Throat Diseases可知本段主要是关于咽喉疾病的情况，因此只有A项合适。A项Most throat diseases are caused by viruses.大部分咽喉疾病是由病毒引发的。故A项符合语境。
【20题详解】
考查句意理解和上下文语境理解。上句antibiotic misuse affects at least two million people annually, killing more than 23,000. 抗生素每年至少影响200万人，导致至少23000人死亡。F项Under such circumstances, limiting antibiotic misuse is a must.在这种情况下，限制抗生素的错误使用是必须的。Under such circumstances既是指上一句提到的抗生素的危害。故F项符合语境。

考查名词辨析。句意：当人生中的风暴刮起时，那就回到你的根部吧。A. dream梦想；B. home家； C. roots根；D. trees树。故选C。
【37题详解】
考查动词辨析，句意：他们会使你摇摆，使你弯曲，使你失去一些叶子，但是你的根越深，你站得越稳。bend弯曲；前文提到树干被大风刮得有点弯曲，这里指人生遇到的风暴也会让人如同大树一样，有点弯曲，但是根系越深，人便站得越稳，因此B项符合语境。
故选B。
【38题详解】
考查形容词辨析。句意：但是根系越深，人便站得越稳。A. deeper 更深；B. bigger更大；C. more更多D. brighter更明亮。故选A。
【39题详解】
考查动词辨析。考查固定短语，句意：无论风暴有多么强烈，都不要让生活逼迫自己处于不舒服的境地。force sb into固定短语，意为“强迫某人……”，故选B。
【40题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：你的力量就在你的根上。courage勇气；ambition野心，雄心；value价值；strength力量，力气。上一段最后一句话中的＂the deeper your roots the stronger you stand＂是对本题答案的提示，即：根系越深站得越稳，就是说你的力量来自于你坚实的根基，故选D。
【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如，第16小题要求判断出人生充满什么。该题可根据前文中提到的关于“storm”的例子，还有前面几句话“the next time you catch your kids misbehaving, when the job is driving you crazy, when you are underpaid and the money is tight, and when the storms of life are raging, ”中所提到的各类人生挫折，得出结论。20小题，上文提到＂the deeper your roots the stronger you stand根系越深站得越稳＂，就是说你的力量来自于你坚实的根基，所以选用strength。

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了作者本人学会用筷子的点点滴滴。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查动词。句意：我往往握住筷子的中间。根据上下文可知，这里是指“握住我的筷子”。故填mine。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：得出了一个简单的结论。固定短语come to a conclusion(得出结论)，故用名词形式。故填conclusion。
【44题详解】
考查疑问词。句意：我的中国丈夫之前一定为我展示过如何使用筷子。此处考查疑问词+to do。根据句意可知应填how。故填how。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：并向我介绍许多新菜。短语introduce sb. to sth.向某人介绍某物。故填to。
【46题详解】

I always have a dream to be a fluency speaker. Therefore, I am too shy to say a word in public. What is beyond my wildest imagination is fortune should bless me with a chance to realize my dream. One day, my English teacher asked me to go to her office and told us that I was given an opportunity to participate in an English speaking competition. Hear this, I could hardly hide my excitement. When making preparation for the competition, I write my speech carefully. I discussed it with my teacher and got many advice on how to improve it after I finished the composition. Under the help of my English teacher, I made a great progress.
【答案】Line 1: fluency改为fluent; Therefore改为However     
Line 2: is后面加that
Line 3: us改为me
Line 4:Hear改为Hearing
Line 5: preparation改为preparations; write改为wrote
Line 6: many改为much
Line 7: Under改为With; 删掉a
【解析】
【分析】
本文属于记叙文，讲述了我获得一个参加英语演讲比赛的机会，实现了自己称为演讲家的梦想。
【详解】1.考查形容词。形容词fluent流利的；名词fluency流利，流畅；在英语中通常使用形容词做定语修饰名词，所以本句中使用fluent修饰名词speaker。故fluency改为fluent。
2.考查副词。句意：我一直有一个成为流利的演讲家的梦想，然而，我很害羞不敢当众发言。根据句意可知上下文之间存在转折关系，所以使用副词however表示转折。故Therefore改为However。
3.考查表语从句。句意：我想象不到的是运气降临在我身上让我们有实现梦想的机会。本句中含有一个表语从句，表语从句前面的连词that是不能省略的。故is后面加that。
4.考查代词。句意：一天，我的英语老师要求我去她办公室并告诉我有一个参加英语演讲比赛的机会。根据句意可知英语老师告诉我，而不是我们，所以使用代词me充当tell的宾语。故us改为me。
5.考查非谓语动词。本句中动词hear与句子主语I构成主动关系 ，所以使用现在分词在句中作状语，且表示和谓语动词的动作同时发生。句意：听见这件事情，我几乎隐藏不住自己的兴奋。故Hear改为Hearing。
6.考查固定搭配。固定搭配make preparations for为做准备。其中的名词preparation应该使用复数形式。故preparation改为preparations。
7.考查时态。根据第四句中的one day.，可知本文讲述的是过去发生的事情，所以使用过去式wrote。故write改为wrote。
8.考查形容词。名词advice建议，是一个不可数名词，不能使用many修饰，而应该使用much修饰不可数名词，表示“许多建议”。 故many改为much。
9.考查介词短语。短语with the help of在的帮助下。句意：在我的英语老师的帮助下，我取得了很大进步。故Under改为With。
10.考查冠词。不定冠词a/an通常修饰可数名词，而本句中的名词progress“进步”，是一个不可数名词，不能使用不定冠词a修饰。故删除a。
第二节 书面表达（满分25分）

【答案】Dear Steve,
How are you these days? After doing a little research, I'm writing on behalf of my class to inform you of our expectations of your oral English class this semester which you asked for.
When it comes to our favorite topics, we find those concerning campus life in your country the most appealing, although whatever you present to us from a native speaker’s perspective is welcome. For example, we’re curious to know if high school students in your country also struggle with a college entrance exam as we do here in China. In terms of teaching approaches, besides giving us speeches, we would prefer it if you could involve more of us in your class activities so that we can push ourselves to speak more English. As for the final exam, accustomed to an oral one with a foreign teacher testing every one of us in turn, we’re wondering if there could be a different way to evaluate our competence, whether it’s a group presentation, a debate or a drama performance.
Thank you for taking our suggestions into consideration and hope we’ll have a good time together. (187 words)
Yours,
Li Hua
