Hao Jingfang won the 2016 Hugo Award for best novelette (中短篇小说)．“I’ve had a wide variety of interests since childhood.I’ve got used to doing different things，”says the 33­year­old.

Although she became a famous science fiction  writer after the award, she’s never thought of quitting her job as an economic researcher at the China Development Research Foundation, which gives her the opportunity to meet many interesting people, she says.Hao says that the characters in her award­winning Folding Beijing novel were developed from people she met.Folding Beijing which tells the story of a father’s struggle to send his daughter to school in a futuristic (未来的) Beijing and is also an allusion (暗示) to the difficulties that some Chinese parents are undergoing today to ensure their children receive a high­quality education brought a breakthrough in her writing career and the top global award in the genre (类型)．

The Hugo Award came as a big surprise to her and has brought important changes to her life.“I thought it would just be an award, noticed only by people in the field. I didn’t expect it to bring this huge attention，” she says.After the award, Hao, who had an interest in poverty studies, was offered the chance to set up a program initially funded by a Chinese auto company, with the aim of educating rural children in poor areas.

Hao says writing science fiction combines her love of science and her dream to become a writer. Writing has been an important part of her life since she was a teenager.Hao won the national New Concept Award for writing when she was in high school and then she started writing science fiction in 2006 when she did her physics major at Tsinghua University where she continued her studies for her master’s degree in physics and then economics for her PhD.

Hao started reading  science fiction in high school and  devoted much of her time to writing novels in her university years.But to take advantage of her academic background, she turned to write science fiction then.“Science fiction opened a whole new world for me，” says Hao.Speaking of the future, Hao says, “It will take time for science fiction to grow here.”

Life can sometimes go haywire rather like the feeling you get when you’ve lost control of your moving car.It’s a feeling of complete helplessness and panic that makes us feel overwhelmed (被压垮的)．

In most cases, there is a difference between our expectations and reality.The greater the difference, the greater the feeling is of being overwhelmed.This difference is often created when our expectations are too demanding or when reality changes in a way we did not expect.Think of the weather ruining your carefully made travel plans to get across the state.Think of that illness that made you stay in bed.While we may be feeling overwhelmed with everything going on in our lives right now, there are some steps we can take to regain a sense of control of our lives.

We all know we should control our emotion properly and we can be affected greatly when we are overwhelmed, but feeling overwhelmed is part of life.When we’re feeling overwhelmed, it only means we are living, breathing human beings.For life is like a roller coaster ride with its ups, downs and turns.It’s also like the season with its alternating periods of relative calm and periods of varying degrees of stress and anxiety.Sometimes we forget this.

No matter how much we try, we may not be able to control reality.But we can adjust our expectations to match reality.This may mean revising our goals and tasks or quitting projects.It may feel like failure in the moment, like giving up, but this ability is an opportunity to create success in the long term.Working with reality rather than against it can give us hope.

When we’re feeling overwhelmed, we can easily fall into an all­or­nothing (孤注一掷)．We may overlook the things we manage to accomplish when we feel overwhelmed.But celebrating our small wins creates space for gratitude (感激) to take hold in our hearts.Trade our expectations for appreciation and our whole world changes in an instant.Celebrating wins (whatever size！) allows us to clearly see the progress we are making.Acknowledging our small bites and celebrating our wins however small makes us have a more accepting attitude toward the opportunities, the gifts and the joys in our lives.

语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。面对生活中的不如意，我们有时会感到绝望，感觉被压垮了。但我们可以采取一些有效的方法来摆脱这种困扰。

8．The underlined phrase “go haywire” can be replaced by         .

A．be in a mess  B．become dull

C．bring surprises  D．change quickly

解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知，生活有时候会陷入混乱，就像你对行驶中的汽车失去控制时的感觉。这是一种彻底无助和恐慌的感觉，使你感觉被压垮了。go haywire意为“陷入混乱”。

9．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．We fail to control our emotion sometimes.

B．We must learn to control our emotion well.

C．It is natural for everyone to feel overwhelmed.

D．Feeling overwhelmed is a big barrier to our life.

解析：选C　段落大意题。根据第三段可知，我们都知道应该控制好自己的情绪，当我们感觉被压垮时，我们会受到这种情绪很大的影响。但感到被压垮是生活的一部分，表明我们是有生命的人类，只是我们总是会忘记这一点。由此可知，第三段主要是说感到被压垮对每个人来说是自然的。

10．What should we do when we can’t control reality?

A．Accept our failure and quit.

B．Change our goal based on reality.

C．Try our best to change reality.

D．Find a better way to realize our goal.

解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第四段“No matter how much we try ... or quitting projects.”可知，无论我们怎么努力，可能都无法改变现实。但是我们可以调整我们的预期以匹配现实。这或许意味着修改我们的目标和任务，或者放弃我们的计划。由此可知，当我们无法掌控现实时，我们可以根据现实来改变我们的目标。

11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Small bites are better than big wins.

B．We should show gratitude to others.

C．Celebrating small wins helps us make progress.

D．We should appreciate even small achievements of ours.

解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，庆祝小的成功有利于在我们心中创造感激的空间。庆祝胜利(无论大小)可以让我们清楚地看到我们正在取得的进步。认可我们的小成就并庆祝胜利，无论它有多小，这会使我们能够更乐于接受生活中的机会、礼物和乐趣。由此可推知，我们应该欣赏我们哪怕很小的成就。A、B两项最后一段未提及，C项与原文意思相近但不是推断出来的，故选D项。

Going back to school after working for a long time has not been easy.What makes it extra difficult is the Western liberal arts (文科)  style of teaching.It gives special attention to discussions, which doesn’t agree with my personality and is different from the Chinese style of teaching that I am accustomed to.

Most of my classes are small, about a dozen people.Most students who frequently speak up are from English­speaking countries.Being shy and especially bored with confrontation (对抗), I am usually quiet.However, I’m not the only one.In my corner of silence are students from Asia or other non­English speaking areas.

People are unwilling to speak up for different reasons.Not being able to speak fluent English, or at least being worried about embarrassing oneself for grammatical mistakes, might be an important one, especially in an English­taught program.For me, not being sure of whether I am making a convincing and fresh point is the biggest factor (因素); I feel insecure not knowing the correct answer.

Moreover, this insecurity turns into frustration.I feel uneasy in my seat while listening to my classmates speak.On the one hand, I’m angry at myself for not being brave; at the same time I ignore what the others are saying.But in truth, it’s just an excuse for masking my feeling of inferiority (自卑) over feeling like others know so much about so many things.

Of course, over time I learned the merits of this style of teaching and learning.The biggest advantage of being in a program with people from all over the world is that everybody brings in something new.What’s obvious to me, a Chinese, might not be so obvious to them.Sometimes it’s important to state the obvious.

Still it is hard for me to participate in class discussions.However, just because someone does not like speaking up in public, doesn’t mean they cannot think.Just because someone cannot think on their feet, doesn’t mean they can’t do good research.Just because someone is always speaking, doesn’t mean they always make good points.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。西方教学方式强调讨论，作者以自己亲身经历说明为什么人们不愿意在课上发言。

12．The author doesn’t want to speak up in class because he         .

A．is unable to speak fluent English

B．shows no interest in the Englishtaught program

C．is afraid of making grammatical mistakes

D．doesn’t feel secure not knowing the correct answer

解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，对于作者来说，(不愿意发言的)最大因素在于作者不确定他的观点是否有说服力、是否够新颖。如果不知道正确答案作者会感到很没安全感。故选D项。

13．What’s the author’s real reason to feel frustrated while listening to others’ speaking up?

A．He has a sense of inferiority.

B．He is extremely shy.

C．He has no interest in their discussions.

D．He can’t understand others’ words.

解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，但事实上，这只是一个借口去掩盖作者因为别人如此博闻强识而产生的自卑感。由此可知，当作者听他人发言时感到沮丧的真正原因是他想隐藏他有一种自卑感。

14．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “merits” in Para.5?

A．Differences.  B．Changes.

C．Advantages.  D．Methods.

解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第五段内容可知，和来自世界各地的人们同处于一个项目的最大好处是每个人都会带来一些新的东西。对于作者这个中国人来说显而易见的东西可能对他们不是那么显而易见。有时候将这种显而易见表达出来是重要的。由此可猜测，随着时间的推移，作者了解到这种教学风格的优点。merits意为“优点，优势”。

15．Which is the best title for the passage?

A．How to Take an Active Part in Class Discussions?

B．Why Don’t People Like to Speak Up in Class?

C．The Importance of Speaking Up in Class.

D．The Differences of Western and Chinese Teaching Style.

解析：选B　标题归纳题。文章主要介绍西方教学方式强调讨论，作者以自己亲身经历说明为什么人们不愿意在课上发言。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

(2018·洛阳第一次统考)One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn’t actually in the room with her.   16   I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn’t see.

  17   Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smartphones. These days I can send an e­mail around the world in a second. My daughter’s smartphone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as “the cloud”， where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before.

  18   Few take the time to talk face to face. Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest.

Don’t let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to meet, to pray and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on.   19 

Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place.   20   But when it can’t, turn it off.

A．That was a long time ago.

B．Connect offline as well as online.

C．Smartphones have both advantages and disadvantages.

D．We should communicate with each other with phones off.

E．When your technology can help to do these things, then use it.

F．However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.

G．When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.

语篇解读：本文作者描述了家中通信工具的变化，指出人们现在很少互相见面交流，并建议人们合理利用科技，创造更美好的生活。

16．选G　根据空处前一句可知，作者对于妈妈能够和一个与她不在同一个房间的人说话感到很好奇，这吸引了作者。G项“当她离开房间的时候，我慢慢地走到电话那儿并盯着看了一会儿”符合文意，故选G项。

17．选A　根据空后的“Later, we had mobile phones ... Then came computers and smartphones. These days I can send an e­mail”可知，作者阐述了随着时间的变化，家中的通信工具也发生了改变。A项“那是很久之前的事儿了”符合文意，故选A项。

18．选F　根据空处所在的位置可知，空处为段落主题句。根据下文可知，本段主要讲述现在我们很少面对面交流了。F项“然而，令我感到担心的是，我们现在很少互相交流了”能很好地概括段意，故选F项。

19．选B　根据上文可知，作者认为不能让科技占据我们太多的时间，摧毁我们的生活，我们应该花时间互相见面交流。B项“既要在网上联系也要在网络之外联系”符合文意，故选B项。

20．选E　空处前一句提到我们来到这个世界是为了相互关爱，相互帮助，使世界变得更美好；后一句提到当科技不能(帮助你)做到这些时，就关掉它。所以空处应表示当科技能够帮助你做到这些时就使用它，故E项符合文意。
