Over the years，I bought countless pairs of shoes that brightened my mood，picked out dresses that improved my figure，and turned over my credit card for lots of cosmetics that I had hoped would make me look fresher and happier.But all those things failed to bring relief to my pain inside.
But one afternoon in October 2021，I walked out of one store with something more valuable than anything money could buy.I found hope in the unlikeliest place after months of hopelessness，thanks to a woman who decided to start a conversation with me in the store's café.
It had been a painful time for me.Married a little over four years，I had suffered five heartbreaking miscarriages （流产） and，at 42，was slowly accepting the cruel idea that I might never be able to have a child.
On that fateful day，an elegantly dressed，slightly older woman seated beside me offered to share the photos and stories of her daughter to break the silence in the half-empty café.Her Chinese girl was about seven years old.
"She's pretty，" I said. "But what made you decide to adopt her？" I asked，uncertain whether I had stepped into an area which seemed too personal. "I don't want work to be my whole life，" she said.I wasn't sure whether she saw the tears welling up in my eyes as I replied， "I don't either，but I'm afraid it's too late!" "I was 51 when I adopted Melanie，" she said， "And it's the most rewarding and exciting thing I've ever done."
When our checks came，she handed me her business card，and I finally learned her name — and in that minute，I saw a happier and more satisfied myself，a reborn "mother-to-be".

Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you're looking to get your writing published somewhere.Most magazines，whether online or print，will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses.Also，most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves （unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column）.Therefore，writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.
Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you're reviewing.Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title，start out with a little description of the book.Make sure you avoid too long of a summary，though，because if too much of your article is a summary of the book，it won't be interesting.Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away.You don't want to tell your reader everything about the book，because then they won't have to read it at all.Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book.
Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective.This means that they want a review of the book that doesn't share your opinion and that in which your opinion isn't obvious from reading what you wrote.If you hated a book，it might not be a great book to review.You probably want to review books that you enjoyed.This will give your review a positive spin.Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book，however.You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end，where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.
A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific .Read the book as a feminist would，for example，and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book.You can choose any number of lenses，and feminism is just one option.An economic lens，a family lens，the lens of a different nationality，or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book.If you look at a book in this way，instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion，it will be much more interesting and marketable.This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting.Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens，for example，because it pertains to their readership.
Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writer's style.Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot，but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another writer's style and write about them intelligently.
8. What's the first paragraph mainly about？ ______
A. Standards of good book reviews.
B. Benefits of writing book reviews.
C. Ways to get your writing published.
D. Topics usually discussed in magazines.
9. Which of the following is a characteristic of a good book review？ ______
A. Including much information on a major point of the book.
B. Stating clearly the writer's opinion of the book.
C. Giving a brief summary of the book.
D. Avoiding describing the book.
10. The underlined word "lens" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ______ .
A. channel B. glasses C. way D. equipment
11. According to the text，only a skilled writer can ______ .
A. look at a book through a specific angle
B. give an objective description of a book
C. find a book and understand its plot easily
D. pay close attention to another writer's style
D
The Joy of Absence
How some companies fight the curse of presenteeism （出勤主义）？
RONALD REAGAN famously joked that "it's true hard work never killed anybody，but I figure，why take the chance？" Studies suggest that，after around 50 hours a week，employees' productivity declines sharply．
But that doesn't stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods．Jack Ma，the founder of Alibaba，the Chinese e-commerce group，recently praised the 996 model，where employees work from 9 a．m．to 9 p．m．，six days a week，as a "great opportunity"．Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker．
There will be days when you do not have much to do；perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department，or a different company，to respond to a request．As the clock ticks past 5 p．m．，there may be no purpose in staying at your desk．But you can see your boss hard at work and，more importantly，they can see you．So you make an effort to look busy．
The consequence is often wasted effort．Rather than work hard，you slave to make bosses think that you are．But presenteeism has more serious consequences．As well as reduced productivity，this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer．According to a study in The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine，these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers．
None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for a proper period of time．Surely there will be a need for some （preferably short） meetings．Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness，allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs．
Turning an office into a prison，with inmates （囚犯） allowed home for the evenings，does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated．To be productive you need presence of mind，not being present in the flesh．
12. Why does the author mention Ronald Reagan's joke in Paragraph One？ ______
A. To encourage people to work hard.
B. To show that hard work is harmless.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage.
D. To praise Ronald Reagan's joking skills.
13. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence？ ______
A. Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.
B. With extra effort，we can defeat anybody.
C. We should say no to extra effort.
D. Extra effort isn't necessarily helpful.
14. According to the passage，which situation is helpful to a company？ ______
A. All workers follow the 996 model praised by Jack Ma.
B. Employees don't go home until their boss does.
C. Workers have a brief meeting to discuss an urgency.
D. Workers keep working when they are sick.
15. Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage？ ______
A. Some managers have workers tied to their desks with a chain.
B. Reduced productivity means greater medical expenses for employers.
C. A prison-like office doesn't inspire creativity.
D. Presence of mind guarantees your productivity.
Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World
The world is designed for right-handed people，but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left？ (1)
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery．Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families，it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic（基因的） component to it．
(2) In fact，identical twins，who share the same genes，can sometimes prefer to use different hands．There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with，but many experts believe that it's kind of random．
Historically，the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures． (3) In some areas，the left hand became known as the"unclean"hand．In many religions，the right hand of God is the favored hand．For example，Jesus sits at God's right side．God's left hand，however，is the hand of judgement．Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved．In some parts of Scotland，it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey． (4) A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary．In some Asian countries，eating with the left hand is considered impolite．
(5) People come to realize that left-handedness is natural．People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed，including Benjamin Franklin，Leonardo Da Vinci，and Charlie Chaplin．Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better．The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well．Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now； instead，it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in．
A．In other words，left-handers are born that way．
B．Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability．
C．The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied．
D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities？
E．Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing？
F．In Ghana，pointing，gesturing，giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude．
G．Fortunately，nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before．

38. When two-year-old Frankie-Rae Hockney took her first shaky steps across the living room，her mother cried.Although watching a child walk for the first time is an exciting moment for any parent，for Mary-Ella Tuppenney-Hockney it was a milestone she never thought her daughter would meet.
Frankie-Rae was born with a rare chromosomal anomaly（染色体异常）called 17 p 13.1 microdeletion syndrome，of which there are only 21 known cases.Doctors explained that they only had five different case studies who had the condition and so there were lots of uncertainties about her future.As a result，when she was born，Mary-Ella，36，and dad Ben Hockney，37，were warned that she might never walk or talk.They both broke down in tears，not knowing what life would hold for their daughter.
Mary-Ella is a dance teacher and she runs her own dance school in Oxfordshire and so dancing is a huge part of their lives.So she thought it was heart-breaking to think that Frankie-Rae would never be able to be part of that.However，Frankie-Rae quickly began seeing experts in occupational health.Despite all her problems，she grew into such a happy，smiley little girl who loved listening to music and waving（挥舞）along to it.
"Because she couldn't walk as she got bigger，we needed a special pushchair and the one available on the NHS wasn't suitable for her needs，" Mary-Ella explains.Fortunately，the Carter Trust stepped in to give Frankie-Rae one that worked.It meant her parents could take her shopping with them on weekends and out to the park.It made such a huge difference to her and the family.But Mary-Ella felt guilty for taking the money from the charity.
That's when Frankie-Rae's elder sister Georgie-Ellyn，eight，came up with the idea of fundraising（募捐）for the charity that helped them.As a result，the family got together，organizing some activities such as selling second-hand clothes and books.They also held a party inviting those who cared for the charity.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However，it was Frankie-Rae's shaky steps that inspired people most._________
Frankie-Rae is such a smiley happy little girl that she brings hope to all that meet her._________

8~11.【答案】B、C、C、D
【解析】（1）段落主旨题。根据第一段Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you're looking to get your writing published somewhere.Most magazines，whether online or print，will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses.Also，most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves （unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column）.Therefore，writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career．（如果你想让你的作品在某个地方出版，书评可以是很好的敲门砖。大多数杂志，无论是在线的还是印刷的，都会包含与杂志讨论的主题相关的书籍的书评。此外，大多数编辑和撰稿人通常都太忙了，没有时间自己读书和评论（除非他们被特别分配到一个书评专栏）。因此，写书评是开始写作生涯的好方法。）可知，第一段主要讲写书评的好处。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you're reviewing.Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title，start out with a little description of the book.Make sure you avoid too long of a summary，though，because if too much of your article is a summary of the book，it won't be interesting.Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away.You don't want to tell your reader everything about the book，because then they won't have to read it at all.Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book．（许多读你书评的人可能对你所写的书一无所知。与其让他们自己通过搜索书名来寻找信息，不如从对这本书的一点描述开始。但是要确保你的总结不要太长，因为如果你的文章太多都是对这本书的总结，那就不有趣了。以一个简短的段落开始，触及所有的要点，但不要透露太多。你不会想告诉你的读者关于这本书的一切，因为那样他们就根本不用读了。只要提供足够的信息，你的读者就会对这本书感兴趣。）可知，一个好的书评要对这本书做一个简要的总结。故选C。
（3）词义猜测题。根据第四段第四句If you look at a book in this way，instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion，it will be much more interesting and marketable.（如果你以这种方式看一本书，而不是只读它并形成自己的观点，它将会更有趣和更有市场。）可知，lens和way是同义词，此处意为"角度，方式"。结合选项，A项channel频道，B.glasses眼镜，C.way方式，角度，D项equipment设备，可知，C项符合语义。故选C。

12~15.【答案】C、D、C、C
【解析】（1）C．推理判断题．根据第二段中"Studies suggest that，after around 50 hours a week，employee productivity declines sharply．（研究表明，每周工作约 50小时后，员工的工作效率会大幅下降．）可知作者在第 1段中提到了罗纳德里根的笑话是为了引入这篇文章的主题．故选C．
（2）D．词义猜测题．根据下文Studies suggest that，after around 50 hours a week，employee productivity declines sharply．（研究表明，每周工作约 50小时后，员工的工作效率会大幅下降．）可知超过一定程度，额外的努力似乎不一定有用，故划线句子意思为 "额外的努力不一定有用" ，故选D．
（3）C．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段中Surely there will be a need for some （preferably short） meetings．Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness，allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs．（当然，有必要召开一些（最好是简短的）会议．面对面地与同事打交道能产生一种团结的感觉，能进行有益的思想交流，能让员工更好地了解彼此的需求．）以及分析选项可知 C选项"工人们用一个简短的会议来讨论一个紧急事件"．故选C．
（4）C．细节理解题．根据最后一段Turning an office into a prison，with inmates allowed home for the evenings，does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated．To be productive you need presence of mind，not being present in the flesh．（把办公室变成监狱，让犯人晚上回家，对办公室工作人员日益增长的创造力无帮助，因为日常工作已经自动化．要想富有成效，你需要镇定，而不是活在当下．）分析选项可知 C选项随着对办公室职员的创造力需求的增长，像监狱一样的办公室不是一个明智的选择的观点与文章相符．故选 C．
这是一篇说明文．主要说明了研究表明，每周工作约50小时后，员工的工作效率会大幅下降．文章指出出勤主义是现代办公室职员的祸根，不仅会降低生产率，还会增加雇主的医疗费用．随着对办公室职员的创造力需求的增长，像监狱一样的办公室不是一个明智的选择．
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．

36.【答案】was raised
【解析】1． was raised．考查时态语态．此处表达"但是，我是在Kenya被扶养长大"，这里说的是过去的事实，并且I与所给动词之间是被动关系，因此填was raised．
2． assistant．考查名词．此处意为"当我刚到好莱坞的时候，我开始做制片助理"，因此填assist的名词assistant．
3． produced．考查时态．通过分析可知，这里是三个连续的动作，根据wrote以及directed可知这里也应该用一般过去时．

5． supporting．考查非谓语动词．此处表达"女配角"，因此用动名词作定语修饰Actress．

Over the years，I bought countless pairs of shoes that brightened my mood，picked out dresses that improved my figure，and turned over my credit card for lots of cosmetics that I had hoped would make me look fresher and happier.But all those things failed to bring relief to my pain inside.
But one afternoon in October 2021，I walked out of one store with something more valuable than anything money could buy.I found hope in the unlikeliest place after months of hopelessness，thanks to a woman who decided to start a conversation with me in the store's café.
It had been a painful time for me.Married a little over four years，I had suffered five heartbreaking miscarriages （流产） and，at 42，was slowly accepting the cruel idea that I might never be able to have a child.
On that fateful day，an elegantly dressed，slightly older woman seated beside me offered to share the photos and stories of her daughter to break the silence in the half-empty café.Her Chinese girl was about seven years old.
"She's pretty，" I said. "But what made you decide to adopt her？" I asked，uncertain whether I had stepped into an area which seemed too personal. "I don't want work to be my whole life，" she said.I wasn't sure whether she saw the tears welling up in my eyes as I replied， "I don't either，but I'm afraid it's too late!" "I was 51 when I adopted Melanie，" she said， "And it's the most rewarding and exciting thing I've ever done."
When our checks came，she handed me her business card，and I finally learned her name — and in that minute，I saw a happier and more satisfied myself，a reborn "mother-to-be".

Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you're looking to get your writing published somewhere.Most magazines，whether online or print，will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses.Also，most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves （unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column）.Therefore，writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.
Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you're reviewing.Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title，start out with a little description of the book.Make sure you avoid too long of a summary，though，because if too much of your article is a summary of the book，it won't be interesting.Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away.You don't want to tell your reader everything about the book，because then they won't have to read it at all.Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book.
Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective.This means that they want a review of the book that doesn't share your opinion and that in which your opinion isn't obvious from reading what you wrote.If you hated a book，it might not be a great book to review.You probably want to review books that you enjoyed.This will give your review a positive spin.Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book，however.You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end，where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.
A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific .Read the book as a feminist would，for example，and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book.You can choose any number of lenses，and feminism is just one option.An economic lens，a family lens，the lens of a different nationality，or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book.If you look at a book in this way，instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion，it will be much more interesting and marketable.This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting.Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens，for example，because it pertains to their readership.
Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writer's style.Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot，but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another writer's style and write about them intelligently.
8. What's the first paragraph mainly about？ ______
A. Standards of good book reviews.
B. Benefits of writing book reviews.
C. Ways to get your writing published.
D. Topics usually discussed in magazines.
9. Which of the following is a characteristic of a good book review？ ______
A. Including much information on a major point of the book.
B. Stating clearly the writer's opinion of the book.
C. Giving a brief summary of the book.
D. Avoiding describing the book.
10. The underlined word "lens" in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ______ .
A. channel B. glasses C. way D. equipment
11. According to the text，only a skilled writer can ______ .
A. look at a book through a specific angle
B. give an objective description of a book
C. find a book and understand its plot easily
D. pay close attention to another writer's style
D
The Joy of Absence
How some companies fight the curse of presenteeism （出勤主义）？
RONALD REAGAN famously joked that "it's true hard work never killed anybody，but I figure，why take the chance？" Studies suggest that，after around 50 hours a week，employees' productivity declines sharply．
But that doesn't stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods．Jack Ma，the founder of Alibaba，the Chinese e-commerce group，recently praised the 996 model，where employees work from 9 a．m．to 9 p．m．，six days a week，as a "great opportunity"．Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker．
There will be days when you do not have much to do；perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department，or a different company，to respond to a request．As the clock ticks past 5 p．m．，there may be no purpose in staying at your desk．But you can see your boss hard at work and，more importantly，they can see you．So you make an effort to look busy．
The consequence is often wasted effort．Rather than work hard，you slave to make bosses think that you are．But presenteeism has more serious consequences．As well as reduced productivity，this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer．According to a study in The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine，these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers．
None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for a proper period of time．Surely there will be a need for some （preferably short） meetings．Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness，allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs．
Turning an office into a prison，with inmates （囚犯） allowed home for the evenings，does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated．To be productive you need presence of mind，not being present in the flesh．
12. Why does the author mention Ronald Reagan's joke in Paragraph One？ ______
A. To encourage people to work hard.
B. To show that hard work is harmless.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage.
D. To praise Ronald Reagan's joking skills.
13. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence？ ______
A. Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.
B. With extra effort，we can defeat anybody.
C. We should say no to extra effort.
D. Extra effort isn't necessarily helpful.
14. According to the passage，which situation is helpful to a company？ ______
A. All workers follow the 996 model praised by Jack Ma.
B. Employees don't go home until their boss does.
C. Workers have a brief meeting to discuss an urgency.
D. Workers keep working when they are sick.
15. Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage？ ______
A. Some managers have workers tied to their desks with a chain.
B. Reduced productivity means greater medical expenses for employers.
C. A prison-like office doesn't inspire creativity.
D. Presence of mind guarantees your productivity.
Being Left-handed in a Right-handed World
The world is designed for right-handed people，but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left？ (1)
The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery．Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families，it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic（基因的） component to it．
(2) In fact，identical twins，who share the same genes，can sometimes prefer to use different hands．There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with，but many experts believe that it's kind of random．
Historically，the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures． (3) In some areas，the left hand became known as the"unclean"hand．In many religions，the right hand of God is the favored hand．For example，Jesus sits at God's right side．God's left hand，however，is the hand of judgement．Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved．In some parts of Scotland，it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey． (4) A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary．In some Asian countries，eating with the left hand is considered impolite．
(5) People come to realize that left-handedness is natural．People even noticed that many famous people are left-handed，including Benjamin Franklin，Leonardo Da Vinci，and Charlie Chaplin．Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better．The left-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well．Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now； instead，it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in．
A．In other words，left-handers are born that way．
B．Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability．
C．The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied．
D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities？
E．Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing？
F．In Ghana，pointing，gesturing，giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude．
G．Fortunately，nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before．

38. When two-year-old Frankie-Rae Hockney took her first shaky steps across the living room，her mother cried.Although watching a child walk for the first time is an exciting moment for any parent，for Mary-Ella Tuppenney-Hockney it was a milestone she never thought her daughter would meet.
Frankie-Rae was born with a rare chromosomal anomaly（染色体异常）called 17 p 13.1 microdeletion syndrome，of which there are only 21 known cases.Doctors explained that they only had five different case studies who had the condition and so there were lots of uncertainties about her future.As a result，when she was born，Mary-Ella，36，and dad Ben Hockney，37，were warned that she might never walk or talk.They both broke down in tears，not knowing what life would hold for their daughter.
Mary-Ella is a dance teacher and she runs her own dance school in Oxfordshire and so dancing is a huge part of their lives.So she thought it was heart-breaking to think that Frankie-Rae would never be able to be part of that.However，Frankie-Rae quickly began seeing experts in occupational health.Despite all her problems，she grew into such a happy，smiley little girl who loved listening to music and waving（挥舞）along to it.
"Because she couldn't walk as she got bigger，we needed a special pushchair and the one available on the NHS wasn't suitable for her needs，" Mary-Ella explains.Fortunately，the Carter Trust stepped in to give Frankie-Rae one that worked.It meant her parents could take her shopping with them on weekends and out to the park.It made such a huge difference to her and the family.But Mary-Ella felt guilty for taking the money from the charity.
That's when Frankie-Rae's elder sister Georgie-Ellyn，eight，came up with the idea of fundraising（募捐）for the charity that helped them.As a result，the family got together，organizing some activities such as selling second-hand clothes and books.They also held a party inviting those who cared for the charity.

【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Over the years，I bought countless pairs of shoes that brightened my mood，picked out dresses that improved my figure，and turned over my credit card for lots of cosmetics that I had hoped would make me look fresher and happier.But all those things failed to bring relief to my pain inside.（这些年来，我买了无数双能让我心情愉悦的鞋子，挑选能改善我身材的裙子，还刷了信用卡买了很多化妆品，我希望这些化妆品能让我看起来更清新、更快乐。但所有这些都没能缓解我内心的痛苦。）可知，作者没能用金钱买到幸福和快乐。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第四段第一句On that fateful day，an elegantly dressed，slightly older woman seated beside me offered to share the photos and stories of her daughter to break the silence in the half-empty café.Her Chinese girl was about seven years old.（在那个决定命运的日子里，坐在我旁边的一位衣着优雅、年龄略大的女士主动提出分享她女儿的照片和故事，以打破半空咖啡馆里的沉默。）可知，当年龄略大的女士与作者交谈时，她打算分享她作为养母的感受。故选 B。
（3）推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句 "I was 51 when I adopted Melanie，" she said， "And it's the most rewarding and exciting thing I've ever done."（ "我收养Melanie的时候51岁，"她说，"这是我做过的最有意义、最令人兴奋的事。"）"以及最后一段中I saw a happier and more satisfied myself，a reborn "mother-to-be".（我看到了一个更快乐、更满足的自己，一个重生的"准妈妈"。）可知，那个年龄略大的女士收养孩子的做法对作者产生了很大的影响，激励着作者决定收养一个孩子。结合选项，A.Inspiring.（鼓舞人心的；激励人的；给予启发的），B.Patient.（耐心的），C.Outgoing.（外向的），D.Responsible.（负责人的）可知，A项符合语义。故选A。

做阅读时首先要通读全文，理解文章大意，然后带着问题到原文中找信息句，仔细研究问题和跟问题有关的句子，琢磨其意思，选出正确答案。
8~11.【答案】B、C、C、D
【解析】（1）段落主旨题。根据第一段Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you're looking to get your writing published somewhere.Most magazines，whether online or print，will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses.Also，most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves （unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column）.Therefore，writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career．（如果你想让你的作品在某个地方出版，书评可以是很好的敲门砖。大多数杂志，无论是在线的还是印刷的，都会包含与杂志讨论的主题相关的书籍的书评。此外，大多数编辑和撰稿人通常都太忙了，没有时间自己读书和评论（除非他们被特别分配到一个书评专栏）。因此，写书评是开始写作生涯的好方法。）可知，第一段主要讲写书评的好处。故选B。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you're reviewing.Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title，start out with a little description of the book.Make sure you avoid too long of a summary，though，because if too much of your article is a summary of the book，it won't be interesting.Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away.You don't want to tell your reader everything about the book，because then they won't have to read it at all.Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book．（许多读你书评的人可能对你所写的书一无所知。与其让他们自己通过搜索书名来寻找信息，不如从对这本书的一点描述开始。但是要确保你的总结不要太长，因为如果你的文章太多都是对这本书的总结，那就不有趣了。以一个简短的段落开始，触及所有的要点，但不要透露太多。你不会想告诉你的读者关于这本书的一切，因为那样他们就根本不用读了。只要提供足够的信息，你的读者就会对这本书感兴趣。）可知，一个好的书评要对这本书做一个简要的总结。故选C。
（3）词义猜测题。根据第四段第四句If you look at a book in this way，instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion，it will be much more interesting and marketable.（如果你以这种方式看一本书，而不是只读它并形成自己的观点，它将会更有趣和更有市场。）可知，lens和way是同义词，此处意为"角度，方式"。结合选项，A项channel频道，B.glasses眼镜，C.way方式，角度，D项equipment设备，可知，C项符合语义。故选C。
（4）细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot，but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another writer's style and write about them intelligently.（任何人都可以拿起一本书来读它的情节，但只有有经验的作家才能注意到另一位作家风格中有趣的地方，并将其巧妙地写出来。）可知，只有有经验的作家才能注意到另一位作家风格中有趣的地方。故选D。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了如何写书评。
做阅读时首先要通读全文，理解文章大意，然后带着问题到原文中找信息句，仔细研究问题和跟问题有关的句子，琢磨其意思，选出正确答案。
12~15.【答案】C、D、C、C
【解析】（1）C．推理判断题．根据第二段中"Studies suggest that，after around 50 hours a week，employee productivity declines sharply．（研究表明，每周工作约 50小时后，员工的工作效率会大幅下降．）可知作者在第 1段中提到了罗纳德里根的笑话是为了引入这篇文章的主题．故选C．
（2）D．词义猜测题．根据下文Studies suggest that，after around 50 hours a week，employee productivity declines sharply．（研究表明，每周工作约 50小时后，员工的工作效率会大幅下降．）可知超过一定程度，额外的努力似乎不一定有用，故划线句子意思为 "额外的努力不一定有用" ，故选D．
（3）C．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段中Surely there will be a need for some （preferably short） meetings．Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness，allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs．（当然，有必要召开一些（最好是简短的）会议．面对面地与同事打交道能产生一种团结的感觉，能进行有益的思想交流，能让员工更好地了解彼此的需求．）以及分析选项可知 C选项"工人们用一个简短的会议来讨论一个紧急事件"．故选C．
（4）C．细节理解题．根据最后一段Turning an office into a prison，with inmates allowed home for the evenings，does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated．To be productive you need presence of mind，not being present in the flesh．（把办公室变成监狱，让犯人晚上回家，对办公室工作人员日益增长的创造力无帮助，因为日常工作已经自动化．要想富有成效，你需要镇定，而不是活在当下．）分析选项可知 C选项随着对办公室职员的创造力需求的增长，像监狱一样的办公室不是一个明智的选择的观点与文章相符．故选 C．
这是一篇说明文．主要说明了研究表明，每周工作约50小时后，员工的工作效率会大幅下降．文章指出出勤主义是现代办公室职员的祸根，不仅会降低生产率，还会增加雇主的医疗费用．随着对办公室职员的创造力需求的增长，像监狱一样的办公室不是一个明智的选择．
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．
16~20.【答案】D、A、C、F、G
【解析】71．D 本题考查前后句子的联系，根据前文The world is designed for right-handed people，but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left？可知此处是以问句引出下文，而且本文主要讲述的是左撇子，故选D．
72．A 本题考查前后句子的联系，根据前文Since scientists have noticed that left-handedness tends to run in families，it's assumed that left-handedness has a genetic（基因的） component to it．可知左撇子的形成有基因的原因，也就是说左撇子是天生如此，故选A．
73．C 本题考查前后句子的联系，根据前文Historically，the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures．可知在许多文化背景下，左撇子被认为是消极的，不好的，因此与文化有关，故选C．
74．F 本题考查前后句子的联系，根据前文In some parts of Scotland，it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey．可知在苏格兰的一些地区，在旅行开始时，遇到一个左撇子的人被认为是不吉利的，因此后文应当讲述在其他国家的事，故选F．
75．G 本题考查前后句子的联系，根据最后一段可知本段主要讲述了现在人们开始意识到左撇子是很正常的，人们不再排斥左撇子，故选G．
本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们介绍了左撇子和其形成原因以及往昔人们对于左撇子的态度，过去人们认为左撇子是不好的，而如今人们已经知道左撇子是很正常的，不再排斥左撇子．
本文需要学生通读全文，了解文章大意，分析句型，明确关联关系，结合上下文判断，确定答案后带入复查．

做完形填空首先要通读全文，了解大意，一篇完形填空的文章会有许多空格，所以，必须先通读一遍，才能大概了解文章内容，千万不要看一句，做一句．其次要逐句分析，前后一致，选择答案时，要考虑整个句子的内容，包括搭配、时态、语法等．
36.【答案】was raised
【解析】1． was raised．考查时态语态．此处表达"但是，我是在Kenya被扶养长大"，这里说的是过去的事实，并且I与所给动词之间是被动关系，因此填was raised．
2． assistant．考查名词．此处意为"当我刚到好莱坞的时候，我开始做制片助理"，因此填assist的名词assistant．
3． produced．考查时态．通过分析可知，这里是三个连续的动作，根据wrote以及directed可知这里也应该用一般过去时．
4． for．考查介词．此处是一个介词+which引导的非限制性定语从句，根据win sth． for …（因…而获奖）可知该空填for．
5． supporting．考查非谓语动词．此处表达"女配角"，因此用动名词作定语修饰Actress．
6． to receive．考查不定式．由于Kenyan actress被序数词the first修饰，因此要用不定式作后置定语．

9． which /that．考查定语从句引导词．通过分析句子结构可知，这里是一个限制性定语从句，先行词为creature，且从句缺少主语，因此要用which/that来引导该从句．
10． either．考查代词．结合上文语境可知上文提到了两个组织---Wild Aid's Global Elephant Ambassador以及 Mother Health International，因此此处表达"如果今天在场的任何人对这些组织中的任何一个都感兴趣，我鼓励你参与其中．"由此可知填either．

解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文。确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此类短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后。最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
