Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, then 24, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining water-spotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. “I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos,” she recalls. Although a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. “It felt so good to be able to do that for them,” says Rebecca.
When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave’s blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.
Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn’t bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. “I didn’t have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did,” Emily says. “Almost every day I think about all the pictures I’ve lost. I’m so happy to have these two.”
In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make “copy runs” to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors; operating costs are covered by donations. “It’s great to be able to give people some of their history back,” says Rebecca. “One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this.”
34. When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to ______.
A. take them to their temporary home
B. help with their damaged photos
C. set up shop in Pass Christian
D. cover Hurricane Katrina
35. From Paragraph 2 we know that Dave and Rebecca ______.
A. quit their jobs in 2006
B. inspired volunteers to join them
C. spent four days mending the photos
D. made their work known in their newspaper
36. How did Emily Lancaster feel when she first heard about Operation Photo Rescue?
A. Excited. B. Hopeless.
C. Satisfied. D. Sceptical.
37. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Surviving Hurricanes
B. An Act of Generosity
C. Saving Memories
D. A Lucky Couple
【答案】34. B 35. B 36. D 37. C

【点睛】考查阅读理解选择最佳标题时，需要注意排除绝对化或片面的选项，要放眼全文，从首段和末段寻找文章的主旨大意。小题4就是根据文章最后一段“It’s great to be able to give people some of their history back,” says Rebecca. “One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this.”可知，通过照片修复，他们让很多人丢失的记忆得到恢复，同时，也赢得了人们的肯定，从而概括出标题。
C
Like many other people who speak more than one language, I often have the sense that I’m a slightly different person in each of my languages—more confident in English, more relaxed in French, more emotional in Czech. Is it possible that, along with these differences, my moral compass (指南针) also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I’m using at the time?
Psychologists who study moral judgments have become very interested in this question. The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境), they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.
In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the “trolley problem”: imagine that a runaway trolley is moving quickly toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move. You are next to a switch that can move the trolley to a different set of tracks, therefore sparing the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch?
Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.
Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language or a foreign one? According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking—one of these, a quick, natural “feeling,” and the other, careful deliberation about the greatest good for the greatest number. When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more careful way simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language signals our cognitive (认知的) system to prepare for difficult activity.
An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are filled with greater emotions than are those learned in more academic settings. As a result, moral judgments made in a foreign language are less filled with the emotional reactions that surface when we use a language learned in childhood.
There’s strong evidence that memory connects a language with the experiences and interactions through which that language was learned. For example, people who are bilingual (双语的) are more likely to recall an experience if reminded in the language in which that event occurred. Our childhood languages, learned in the middle of passionate emotion, become filled with deep feeling. By comparison, languages acquired late in life, especially if they are learned through limited interactions in the classroom or dully delivered over computer screens and headphones, enter our minds lacking the emotionality that is present for their native speakers.
38. What does “this question” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. What contributes to one’s language improvements?
B. Is it necessary to learn more than one foreign language?
C. Does the language one uses influence one’s moral judgments?
D. How do people deal with moral dilemmas in a foreign language?
39. When the “trolley problem” was presented in a foreign language, volunteers were more likely to ______.
A. care less about the five people
B. pull the switch to the side tracks
C. remain hesitant about what to do
D. sacrifice the stranger on the footbridge
40. The underlined word in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. consideration B. guidance
C. selection D. arrangement
41. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Bilingual people are less emotional than others.
B. Native language learning involves greater emotions.
C. Childhood memories limit foreign language learning.
D. Academic settings promote foreign language learning.
【答案】38. C 39. D 40. A 41. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇科普类短文阅读。最近的一些研究的结果表明，当人们面对道德困境时，他们用外语思考和用母语思考时的反应确实不同。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境), they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.可知，最近的一些研究的结果表明，当人们面对道德困境时，他们用外语思考的反应和他们的母语思考的反应确实是不同的。所以此问题指的是一个人使用的语言会影响他的道德判断吗？故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.可知，志愿者们用已经学会的外语来表达这种两难境地时，极大地增加了他们将牺牲者推下人行桥的意愿。分别与D选择项中的sacrifice和 footbridge分别对应。故选D。
【40题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第五段According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking—one of these, a quick, natural “feeling,”这样的判断涉及两种独立的、相互竞争的思维方式——一种是快速、自然的“感觉”，所以猜测出，另外一种是对大多数人最大利益的深思熟虑。故选A。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are filled with greater emotions than are those learned in more academic settings. 母语和外语之间的差异是因为我们的童年语言比在学术环境中学习的语言更充满感情，和最后一段By comparison, languages acquired late in life, especially if they are learned through limited interactions in the classroom or dully delivered over computer screens and headphones, enter our minds lacking the emotionality that is present for their native speakers. 后天习得的语言，缺乏母语者所具有的情感。所以说，母语学习包含更多的情感。故选B。
【点睛】阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题3要求猜测出deliberation的含义，就是文章第五段According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking—one of these, a quick, natural “feeling,”这样的判断涉及两种独立的、相互竞争的思维方式——一种是快速、自然的“感觉”，所以猜测出，另外一种是对大多数人最大利益的深思熟虑，从而推测出deliberation为“深思熟虑”之意。
D
We talk continuously about how to make children more “resilient (有恢复力的)”，but whatever we're doing, it's not working. Rates of anxiety disorders and depression are rising rapidly among teenagers. What are we doing wrong?
Nassim Taleb invented the word “antifragile" and used it to describe a small but very important class of systems that gain from shocks, challenges, and disorder. The immune (免疫的) system is one of them: it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (过敏原) in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.
Children's social and emotional abilities are as antifragile as their immune systems. If we overprotect kids and keep them“safe" from unpleasant social situations and negative emotions,we deprive (剥夺) them of the challenges and opportunities for self-building they need to grow strong. Such children are likely to suffer more when exposed later to other unpleasant but ordinary life events, such as teasing and social rejection.
It's not the kids' fault. In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less. Outdoor play and independent mobility went down; screen time and adult-monitored activities went up.
Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical competence. Depriving them of free play prevents their social-emotional growth. Norwegian play researchers Ellen Sandseter and Leif Kennair warned: “We may observe an increased anxiety or mental disorders in society if children are forbidden from participating in age adequate risky play. "
They wrote those words in 2011. Over the following few years, their prediction came true. Kids born after 1994 are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety disorders and depression than did the previous generation. Besides, there is also a rise in the rate at which teenage girls are admitted to hospital for deliberately harming themselves.
What can we do to change these trends? How can we raise kids strong enough to handle the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of life? We can't guarantee that giving primary school children more independence today will bring down the rate of teenage suicide tomorrow. The links between childhood overprotection and teenage mental illness are suggestive but not clear-cut. Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to become strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should let go—and let them grow.
42. Why does the author mention the immune system in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress its importance.
B. To analyze the cause of anxiety.
C. To question the latest discovery.
D. To help understand a new word.
43. Parents overprotect children because______.
A. they are concerned about their children's safety
B. they want to keep children from being teased
C. parent-monitored activities are a must
D. children are not independent enough
44. According to the author, free play can_____.
A. promote children's resilience
B. strengthen children's friendship
C. reduce children's risky behavior
D. develop children's leadership skills
45. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A. Stop trying to perfect your child.
B. It takes great courage to raise children.
C. Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.
D. While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.
【答案】42. D 43. A 44. A 45. C
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。文章论述的是“不要过分保护孩子”。作者认为“让孩子为路做准备，而不是为孩子准备路”。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Nassim Taleb invented the word “antifragile" and used it to describe a small but very important class of systems that gain from shocks, challenges, and disorder. The immune (免疫的) system is one of them: it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (过敏原) in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.“纳西姆·塔勒布发明了“抗脆弱”这个词，并使用它来描述一个很小但非常重要的系统类别，它从冲击、挑战和混乱中获益。免疫系统就是其中之一:它需要在儿童时期接触某些种类的细菌和潜在的过敏原，以充分发展其能力。”可知，作者在第二段中提到免疫系统是为了帮助理解一个新单词antifragile。故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中It's not the kids' fault. In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less.“这不是孩子们的错。在英国，就像在美国一样，父母们在20世纪80年代和90年代变得更加害怕，因为有线电视和后来的互联网让每个人越来越多地暴露在那些现在越来越少发生的罕见的犯罪和事故面前。”可知，父母过分保护孩子，因为他们担心孩子的安全。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical competence.“然而，让孩子们自己制定参与规则、承担小风险并学会掌握小危险的自由游戏，对成人社交能力乃至身体能力的发展至关重要。”可知，作者认为，自由玩耍可以提高孩子的适应力。故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to become strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should let go—and let them grow.“然而，我们有充分的理由怀疑，通过剥夺我们天生抗脆弱的孩子成长所需的广泛经验，我们正在系统性地阻止他们的成长。我们应该放手，让他们成长。”由此可知，作者会同意“让孩子为路做准备，而不是为孩子准备路”的观点。故选C。
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Today’s students are surrounded by information. The ability to figure out exactly why authors write—and not accept every opinion as fact—is a key skill. ___46___ The following strategies teach them how to figure out why authors really write.
Start with why. “Why did the author write this piece?” is the key question asked to identify author’s purpose. To help students expand their understanding of “why,” post various types of nonfiction (an advertisement, opinion article, news article, etc.) around your classroom and have students quickly identify a purpose for each. ___47___
Talk about structure. Authors use different structures for different purposes. For example, one author may use time order to explain an event, while another author uses compare and contrast to put that event into context.
___48___Often when authors write, they’re trying to get readers to feel a certain way. Perhaps the author of an article about whale conservation wants readers to feel sad about the difficult situation of whales. Or the author of a letter may want to make the recipient feel better about a situation. After students read a text, stop and ask: How do you feel? And how did the author get you to feel this way?
Connect it to students’ own writing. It doesn’t have to be said that writing and reading go hand in hand. ___49___ When students are asked to write about a topic that they think everyone should know about, to explain a procedure or to share a personal memory, they’ll become more conscious of how authors approach writing.
Observe how purpose changes within a text. Author’s purpose is often studied through the text as a whole, but authors have different reasons for writing within texts as well. ___50___ Then, they may launch into a list of facts that make the reader feel discouraged about the situation. And finally, they may conclude with an appeal. Take a short article and break it apart, identifying the different purposes so that students see how author’s purpose changes as they read.
A. Get to the heart.
B. Identify the topic.
C. The readers may get more advanced in their work with informational text.
D. For example, an author may include a funny anecdote (轶事) to draw the reader in.
E. In particular, they'll need to figure out author’s purpose and draw their own conclusions.
F. Expand students' awareness of why people write by having them write for different purposes.
G. Or keep a running Author's Purpose board with a list of the various reasons that authors write.
【答案】46. E 47. G
48. A 49. F
50. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章作者介绍了如何找出作者真正写作原因的策略。
【46题详解】
考查承上启下句。根据前句The ability to figure out exactly why authors write—and not accept every opinion as fact—is a key skill.明确作者写作目的，并且不把每个观点当成事实，是一项关键能力，和后句The following strategies teach them how to figure out why authors really write. 下面的策略教他们如何找出作者真正写作的原因，可知，学生需要弄清楚作者的意图并得出自己的结论。故选E。
【47题详解】
根据文章首句Start with why. “Why did the author write this piece?” is the key question asked to identify author’s purpose.弄清作者写作目的，和空前一句提及到的具体的操作方法，可知，这里与前句是并列关系，其内容也是具体的办法。故选G。
【48题详解】
考查本段主题句。根据后句Often when authors write, they’re trying to get readers to feel a certain way. 当作者写作时，他们常常试图让读者有某种特定的感觉，后文反复提到feel这个词，让学生挖掘自身的感受，并思考作者是如何让人产生这种感受。对应这A选择项中的heart。故选A。
【49题详解】
根据前句It doesn’t have to be said that writing and reading go hand in hand. 写作和阅读是相辅相成的，和后句When students are asked to write about a topic that they think everyone should know about, to explain a procedure or to share a personal memory, they’ll become more conscious of how authors approach writing.当学生被要求写一个他们认为每个人都应该知道的话题，解释一个过程或分享个人记忆时，他们会更清楚作者是如何写作的，可知，这里都提及到读与写之间的关系，提出要以写作促进阅读。所以，这里为：通过让学生为不同的目的写作来提高他们对写作原因的认识。故选F。
【50题详解】
考查承上启下句。根据前句Author’s purpose is often studied through the text as a whole, but authors have different reasons for writing within texts as well. 作者的写作目的通常是通过文本整体来研究的，但作者在文本内部写作的原因也不尽相同，和后句Then, they may launch into a list of facts that make the reader feel discouraged about the situation. 然后，他们可能会列出一系列事实，让读者对这种情况感到气馁。所以这里为：例如,作者可能包括一个有趣的轶事来吸引读者。故选D。

Dear Jim,

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m happy to hear that you’re interested in the extracurricular activities organized by our school. Now, I’d like to give you more details.
A variety of activities have been organized, such as visiting Capital Museum, taking a field trip to Qufu, Shandong, home of Confucius, planting trees in Mangshan Park and learning to bake a cake in a pastry shop, just to name a few.
The activities mentioned above are quite popular with students. My favorite kind of activity is field trips. I went to Qufu in Senior One and Hangzhou in Senior Two. Both trips deeply impressed me. The reasons why I like field trips are as follows. First, field trips offer me a good chance to broaden my horizons. As the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” Not only can I learn from locals and my own experiences, but also I can see with my own eyes our beautiful country and splendid culture. Second, field trips improve my research skills. Before we take field trips, we are always asked to prepare by searching online or in the library for useful information. Third, field trips help strengthen friendships. Since many of the field trips last several days, it is a good opportunity to bond with classmates better outside the classroom.
I really hope that you can go on a field trip with us in the future.
Yours
Li Hua

改革开放四十周年展览exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening-up
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Last week I participated in a school activity about making a poster entitled “40 years of China’s reform and opening-up in my eyes”.
On Friday evening, I was wondering what topic to choose for my poster. Many ideas popped into my head like “transportation”, “environment”, but I finally decided on “great changes in my home”. Immediately I turned to my parents for help. Hearing that, they took out some photo albums and began their talk. Mom told me about what our home looked like twenty years ago while dad showed me some photos taken at that time. It was the first time I had seen an old-fashioned electric fan and tape recorder. Seeing my curious expression, my parents suggested a visit the next day to the exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening-up.
At the exhibition, we were amazed by the brilliant achievements made in the past four decades. In the daily life area, what attracted me most was the evolution of electric appliances, especially TV sets, from the clumsy small ones to the modern high-tech ones. Dad pointed at one TV, saying his family had a similar one when he was a kid. Considering these TVs could be used on my poster, I took some photos. With all the material collected, I got down to my poster, on which I wrote about the great changes in my home and also included some pictures.
My home is just one example. I am sure lots of Chinese families resemble mine, benefiting from China’s reform and opening-up. How proud I feel about the great changes!

The top museums to visit there are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.
If You Have Time
There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam, and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows.

Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, then 24, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining water-spotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. “I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos,” she recalls. Although a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. “It felt so good to be able to do that for them,” says Rebecca.
When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave’s blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.
Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn’t bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. “I didn’t have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did,” Emily says. “Almost every day I think about all the pictures I’ve lost. I’m so happy to have these two.”
In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make “copy runs” to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors; operating costs are covered by donations. “It’s great to be able to give people some of their history back,” says Rebecca. “One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this.”
34. When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to ______.
A. take them to their temporary home
B. help with their damaged photos
C. set up shop in Pass Christian
D. cover Hurricane Katrina
35. From Paragraph 2 we know that Dave and Rebecca ______.
A. quit their jobs in 2006

C. Satisfied. D. Sceptical.
37. What is the best title for the passage?

Like many other people who speak more than one language, I often have the sense that I’m a slightly different person in each of my languages—more confident in English, more relaxed in French, more emotional in Czech. Is it possible that, along with these differences, my moral compass (指南针) also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I’m using at the time?
Psychologists who study moral judgments have become very interested in this question. The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境), they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.
In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the “trolley problem”: imagine that a runaway trolley is moving quickly toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move. You are next to a switch that can move the trolley to a different set of tracks, therefore sparing the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch?
Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this, even though in both situations, one person is sacrificed to save five. But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.
Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language or a foreign one? According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking—one of these, a quick, natural “feeling,” and the other, careful deliberation about the greatest good for the greatest number. When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more careful way simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language signals our cognitive (认知的) system to prepare for difficult activity.
An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are filled with greater emotions than are those learned in more academic settings. As a result, moral judgments made in a foreign language are less filled with the emotional reactions that surface when we use a language learned in childhood.
There’s strong evidence that memory connects a language with the experiences and interactions through which that language was learned. For example, people who are bilingual (双语的) are more likely to recall an experience if reminded in the language in which that event occurred. Our childhood languages, learned in the middle of passionate emotion, become filled with deep feeling. By comparison, languages acquired late in life, especially if they are learned through limited interactions in the classroom or dully delivered over computer screens and headphones, enter our minds lacking the emotionality that is present for their native speakers.
38. What does “this question” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. What contributes to one’s language improvements?
B. Is it necessary to learn more than one foreign language?
C. Does the language one uses influence one’s moral judgments?
D. How do people deal with moral dilemmas in a foreign language?
39. When the “trolley problem” was presented in a foreign language, volunteers were more likely to ______.
A. care less about the five people
B. pull the switch to the side tracks
C. remain hesitant about what to do
D. sacrifice the stranger on the footbridge
40. The underlined word in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. consideration B. guidance
C. selection D. arrangement
41. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Bilingual people are less emotional than others.
B. Native language learning involves greater emotions.
C. Childhood memories limit foreign language learning.
D. Academic settings promote foreign language learning.
【答案】38. C 39. D 40. A 41. B

本文是一篇科普类短文阅读。最近的一些研究的结果表明，当人们面对道德困境时，他们用外语思考和用母语思考时的反应确实不同。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境), they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.可知，最近的一些研究的结果表明，当人们面对道德困境时，他们用外语思考的反应和他们的母语思考的反应确实是不同的。所以此问题指的是一个人使用的语言会影响他的道德判断吗？故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.可知，志愿者们用已经学会的外语来表达这种两难境地时，极大地增加了他们将牺牲者推下人行桥的意愿。分别与D选择项中的sacrifice和 footbridge分别对应。故选D。
【40题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第五段According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking—one of these, a quick, natural “feeling,”这样的判断涉及两种独立的、相互竞争的思维方式——一种是快速、自然的“感觉”，所以猜测出，另外一种是对大多数人最大利益的深思熟虑。故选A。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are filled with greater emotions than are those learned in more academic settings. 母语和外语之间的差异是因为我们的童年语言比在学术环境中学习的语言更充满感情，和最后一段By comparison, languages acquired late in life, especially if they are learned through limited interactions in the classroom or dully delivered over computer screens and headphones, enter our minds lacking the emotionality that is present for their native speakers. 后天习得的语言，缺乏母语者所具有的情感。所以说，母语学习包含更多的情感。故选B。
【点睛】阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题3要求猜测出deliberation的含义，就是文章第五段According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking—one of these, a quick, natural “feeling,”这样的判断涉及两种独立的、相互竞争的思维方式——一种是快速、自然的“感觉”，所以猜测出，另外一种是对大多数人最大利益的深思熟虑，从而推测出deliberation为“深思熟虑”之意。
D
We talk continuously about how to make children more “resilient (有恢复力的)”，but whatever we're doing, it's not working. Rates of anxiety disorders and depression are rising rapidly among teenagers. What are we doing wrong?
Nassim Taleb invented the word “antifragile" and used it to describe a small but very important class of systems that gain from shocks, challenges, and disorder. The immune (免疫的) system is one of them: it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (过敏原) in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.
Children's social and emotional abilities are as antifragile as their immune systems. If we overprotect kids and keep them“safe" from unpleasant social situations and negative emotions,we deprive (剥夺) them of the challenges and opportunities for self-building they need to grow strong. Such children are likely to suffer more when exposed later to other unpleasant but ordinary life events, such as teasing and social rejection.
It's not the kids' fault. In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less. Outdoor play and independent mobility went down; screen time and adult-monitored activities went up.
Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical competence. Depriving them of free play prevents their social-emotional growth. Norwegian play researchers Ellen Sandseter and Leif Kennair warned: “We may observe an increased anxiety or mental disorders in society if children are forbidden from participating in age adequate risky play. "
They wrote those words in 2011. Over the following few years, their prediction came true. Kids born after 1994 are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety disorders and depression than did the previous generation. Besides, there is also a rise in the rate at which teenage girls are admitted to hospital for deliberately harming themselves.
What can we do to change these trends? How can we raise kids strong enough to handle the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of life? We can't guarantee that giving primary school children more independence today will bring down the rate of teenage suicide tomorrow. The links between childhood overprotection and teenage mental illness are suggestive but not clear-cut. Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to become strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should let go—and let them grow.
42. Why does the author mention the immune system in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress its importance.
B. To analyze the cause of anxiety.
C. To question the latest discovery.
D. To help understand a new word.
43. Parents overprotect children because______.
A. they are concerned about their children's safety
B. they want to keep children from being teased
C. parent-monitored activities are a must
D. children are not independent enough
44. According to the author, free play can_____.
A. promote children's resilience
B. strengthen children's friendship
C. reduce children's risky behavior
D. develop children's leadership skills
45. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A. Stop trying to perfect your child.
B. It takes great courage to raise children.
C. Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.
D. While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.
【答案】42. D 43. A 44. A 45. C
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。文章论述的是“不要过分保护孩子”。作者认为“让孩子为路做准备，而不是为孩子准备路”。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Nassim Taleb invented the word “antifragile" and used it to describe a small but very important class of systems that gain from shocks, challenges, and disorder. The immune (免疫的) system is one of them: it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (过敏原) in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.“纳西姆·塔勒布发明了“抗脆弱”这个词，并使用它来描述一个很小但非常重要的系统类别，它从冲击、挑战和混乱中获益。免疫系统就是其中之一:它需要在儿童时期接触某些种类的细菌和潜在的过敏原，以充分发展其能力。”可知，作者在第二段中提到免疫系统是为了帮助理解一个新单词antifragile。故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中It's not the kids' fault. In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less.“这不是孩子们的错。在英国，就像在美国一样，父母们在20世纪80年代和90年代变得更加害怕，因为有线电视和后来的互联网让每个人越来越多地暴露在那些现在越来越少发生的罕见的犯罪和事故面前。”可知，父母过分保护孩子，因为他们担心孩子的安全。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical competence.“然而，让孩子们自己制定参与规则、承担小风险并学会掌握小危险的自由游戏，对成人社交能力乃至身体能力的发展至关重要。”可知，作者认为，自由玩耍可以提高孩子的适应力。故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to become strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should let go—and let them grow.“然而，我们有充分的理由怀疑，通过剥夺我们天生抗脆弱的孩子成长所需的广泛经验，我们正在系统性地阻止他们的成长。我们应该放手，让他们成长。”由此可知，作者会同意“让孩子为路做准备，而不是为孩子准备路”的观点。故选C。
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Today’s students are surrounded by information. The ability to figure out exactly why authors write—and not accept every opinion as fact—is a key skill. ___46___ The following strategies teach them how to figure out why authors really write.
Start with why. “Why did the author write this piece?” is the key question asked to identify author’s purpose. To help students expand their understanding of “why,” post various types of nonfiction (an advertisement, opinion article, news article, etc.) around your classroom and have students quickly identify a purpose for each. ___47___
Talk about structure. Authors use different structures for different purposes. For example, one author may use time order to explain an event, while another author uses compare and contrast to put that event into context.
___48___Often when authors write, they’re trying to get readers to feel a certain way. Perhaps the author of an article about whale conservation wants readers to feel sad about the difficult situation of whales. Or the author of a letter may want to make the recipient feel better about a situation. After students read a text, stop and ask: How do you feel? And how did the author get you to feel this way?
Connect it to students’ own writing. It doesn’t have to be said that writing and reading go hand in hand. ___49___ When students are asked to write about a topic that they think everyone should know about, to explain a procedure or to share a personal memory, they’ll become more conscious of how authors approach writing.
Observe how purpose changes within a text. Author’s purpose is often studied through the text as a whole, but authors have different reasons for writing within texts as well. ___50___ Then, they may launch into a list of facts that make the reader feel discouraged about the situation. And finally, they may conclude with an appeal. Take a short article and break it apart, identifying the different purposes so that students see how author’s purpose changes as they read.
A. Get to the heart.
B. Identify the topic.
C. The readers may get more advanced in their work with informational text.
D. For example, an author may include a funny anecdote (轶事) to draw the reader in.
E. In particular, they'll need to figure out author’s purpose and draw their own conclusions.
F. Expand students' awareness of why people write by having them write for different purposes.
G. Or keep a running Author's Purpose board with a list of the various reasons that authors write.
【答案】46. E 47. G
48. A 49. F

【49题详解】
根据前句It doesn’t have to be said that writing and reading go hand in hand. 写作和阅读是相辅相成的，和后句When students are asked to write about a topic that they think everyone should know about, to explain a procedure or to share a personal memory, they’ll become more conscious of how authors approach writing.当学生被要求写一个他们认为每个人都应该知道的话题，解释一个过程或分享个人记忆时，他们会更清楚作者是如何写作的，可知，这里都提及到读与写之间的关系，提出要以写作促进阅读。所以，这里为：通过让学生为不同的目的写作来提高他们对写作原因的认识。故选F。
【50题详解】
考查承上启下句。根据前句Author’s purpose is often studied through the text as a whole, but authors have different reasons for writing within texts as well. 作者的写作目的通常是通过文本整体来研究的，但作者在文本内部写作的原因也不尽相同，和后句Then, they may launch into a list of facts that make the reader feel discouraged about the situation. 然后，他们可能会列出一系列事实，让读者对这种情况感到气馁。所以这里为：例如,作者可能包括一个有趣的轶事来吸引读者。故选D。

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m happy to hear that you’re interested in the extracurricular activities organized by our school. Now, I’d like to give you more details.
A variety of activities have been organized, such as visiting Capital Museum, taking a field trip to Qufu, Shandong, home of Confucius, planting trees in Mangshan Park and learning to bake a cake in a pastry shop, just to name a few.
The activities mentioned above are quite popular with students. My favorite kind of activity is field trips. I went to Qufu in Senior One and Hangzhou in Senior Two. Both trips deeply impressed me. The reasons why I like field trips are as follows. First, field trips offer me a good chance to broaden my horizons. As the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” Not only can I learn from locals and my own experiences, but also I can see with my own eyes our beautiful country and splendid culture. Second, field trips improve my research skills. Before we take field trips, we are always asked to prepare by searching online or in the library for useful information. Third, field trips help strengthen friendships. Since many of the field trips last several days, it is a good opportunity to bond with classmates better outside the classroom.
I really hope that you can go on a field trip with us in the future.
Yours
Li Hua

【答案】Last week I participated in a school activity about making a poster entitled “40 years of China’s reform and opening-up in my eyes”.
On Friday evening, I was wondering what topic to choose for my poster. Many ideas popped into my head like “transportation”, “environment”, but I finally decided on “great changes in my home”. Immediately I turned to my parents for help. Hearing that, they took out some photo albums and began their talk. Mom told me about what our home looked like twenty years ago while dad showed me some photos taken at that time. It was the first time I had seen an old-fashioned electric fan and tape recorder. Seeing my curious expression, my parents suggested a visit the next day to the exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening-up.
At the exhibition, we were amazed by the brilliant achievements made in the past four decades. In the daily life area, what attracted me most was the evolution of electric appliances, especially TV sets, from the clumsy small ones to the modern high-tech ones. Dad pointed at one TV, saying his family had a similar one when he was a kid. Considering these TVs could be used on my poster, I took some photos. With all the material collected, I got down to my poster, on which I wrote about the great changes in my home and also included some pictures.
My home is just one example. I am sure lots of Chinese families resemble mine, benefiting from China’s reform and opening-up. How proud I feel about the great changes!
