FearIn this 1996 mystery drama，a timid young man，Aaron(Edward Norton)，is accused of murdering a priest.Norton’s amazing performance helped to ease suspicion that Aaron is really guilty of the crime.While watching the multi-layered story uncover，it’s easy to overlook the possibility that Aaron could be a brilliant sociopath(反社会的人) playing everyone.Planet of the ApesIt’s difficult enough for you to make sense of a planet where humans are ruled by talking apes，but when we finally get used to the concept，the ending is really beyond our expectation.Besides，the scene when astronaut George Taylor discovers the remains of the Statue of Liberty in the original 1968 film is really shocking.The VillageM．Night Shyamalan is one of the few directors who could give us something this clever and wildly imaginative.While it’s common for suspense films to reveal that some fundamental aspect isn’t what it appears to be，in this film set in a 19th century village，basically nothing turns out as it appears.Fighting ClubThis 1999 hit film starring Edward Norton as an office worker who starts an underground fight club isn’t the easiest movie to follow.But the dramatic ending，which involves exploding buildings，may be the most shocking part of all.Each product we feature has been independently selected and by our editorial team.If you make a purchase using the links included，we may earn commission.1．What do the four films have in common?A．A 19th century setting.B．The same actor.C．Being violence-themed.D．An unpredictable ending.答案　D解析　推理判断题。由Primal Fear中的“a timid young man...a brilliant sociopath(反社会的人) playing everyone”，Planet of the Apes中的“the ending is really beyond our expectation”，The Village中的“While it’s common for suspense films...nothing turns out as it appears.”和Fighting Club中的“But the dramatic ending...the most shocking part of all.”可知，这四部电影的共同点在于它们都有出乎意料的结局。故选D。2．Which film would a fan of science fiction prefer?A．Primal Fear.B．Planet of the Apes.C．The Village.D．Fighting Club.答案　B解析　细节理解题。由Planet of the Apes中的“It’s difficult enough for you to make sense of a planet where humans are ruled by talking apes”可知，这部电影是关于一颗人类被会说话的类人猿统治的星球，是科幻片，所以科幻迷会更喜欢Planet of the Apes。故选B。3．Where may the text come from?A．A brochure.   B．A magazine.C．A website.   D．A newspaper.答案　C解析　文章出处题。由最后一段最后一句的“links”可知，本文可能来自一个网站。故选C。BMy middle child was born and rushed to the newborn intensive care unit(ICU)．I was shocked to learn that he was sick.Suddenly, my life was out of control.My husband and I with two full-time careers were dropping our 2-year-old at day care each morning before racing to visit our son at the hospital.“Let me know what I can do，” many of our loved ones said.Instead of reaching out, I withdrew and struggled to manage everything on my plate.Why did it feel awkward being on the receiving end of assistance?Being uncomfortable asking for help is an almost universal experience.We may worry about how embarrassing it will be if someone says no.We may also worry about how guilty we will feel if they say yes.“Do you see the person who asks for support as a burden？” I asked my mother.“No, of course not，” she said.“In fact, helping is one of the most rewarding experiences we can have.” Her words resonated(引起共鸣) with me.I was raised to be independent and to help others is something I’ve always enjoyed.I felt funny relying on people outside my inner circle.I thought leaning on my closest family and friends would be most comfortable, but they lived an hour or more away.Then the favors from others made me feel loved and supported.With them often taking care of meals and other areas of our lives, it was easier to focus and take in news from doctors.We all wish people could read our minds, know what we need and volunteer it.Actually, they have to understand that we need help, and know what kind we want them to give—that means we really do have to ask.I’m now a pro at asking for help.I don’t only rely on my inner circle.I have a large community of resources—which benefits all of us.语篇解读　这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者的儿子生病，自己和丈夫又是全职，所以感到不堪重负，但作者不愿请求别人帮助，怕自己成为别人的负担，但和母亲的一次谈话改变了作者的想法，作者意识到主动寻求别人帮助可以达到双赢。 4．How did the author feel after her son was born?A．Calm and indifferent.B．Cheerful and thrilled.C．Surprised and determined.D．Astonished and overwhelmed.答案　D解析　推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者对儿子生病感到很震惊，而且作者和丈夫是双职工，还要照顾新生儿和另一个2岁的孩子，作者感觉自己的生活完全失控了，不堪重负。由此可知，作者在儿子出生后的感受是震惊和不堪重负。故选D。5．Why was the author not willing to receive others’ help at first?A．She was afraid of being a burden to others.B．She wanted to follow her mother’s advice.C．She was able to manage everything on her own.D．She felt embarrassed about sharing her privacy.答案　A解析　细节理解题。根据第三段的“‘Do you see the person who asks for support as a burden？’ I asked my mother.”可知，作者担心接受别人帮助就意味着自己成为别人的负担。故选A。6．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Doctors and nurses.B．The favors from others.C．Our closest family and friends.D．People outside my inner circle.答案　D解析　代词指代题。根据第四段前两句可知，作者更愿意接受来自“核心圈子(inner circle)”的亲朋好友的帮助，但由于他们住得很远，帮不了作者，所以后文提到的“the favors from others”指的是这些帮助作者的人并不是作者的核心圈子的朋友，由此可知，此处“them”指代上句中的“others”，即作者核心圈以外的朋友。故选D。7．What does the author intend to convey?A．She is a pro at asking for help.B．Relying on our inner circle is essential.C．Asking for help may achieve a win-win outcome.D．Reading others’ minds is the key to offering help.答案　C解析　推理判断题。纵观全文，作者改变想法的转折点来自母亲的回答——帮助他人可以给自己带来快乐，所以寻求他人帮助并不意味着会成为他人的负担。根据最后一段可知，作者现在很乐于主动寻求帮助，而且愿意依靠自己核心圈内和圈外的一切朋友，因为寻求帮助可以让彼此都获益，由此可知，作者想要传达的是寻求帮助可以达到双赢。故选C。CSkeleton is one of the three sliding sports at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games，alongside the luge(单雪橇) and bobsleigh(大雪橇)．With only six medals up for grabs，skeleton has the fewest events at the Winter Games—which means competition will be fierce.The sport of skeleton has its roots in the most popular winter pastime：sleighing.In the mid-19th century，British and American holidaymakers built the first toboggan(平底雪橇) run in Davos in 1882，and thus the sport of sleighing began.Two years later，in 1884，the famed Cresta Run—a natural ice skeleton racing toboggan track—was built in St.Moritz，Switzerland(the course has hosted the annual Grand National championships since 1885)．In 1892，a new sledge made entirely of steel was introduced，and some claim that its bony appearance gave the sledge and the sport the name“skeleton”．Men’s skeleton was first introduced on the Olympic program in the 1928 Games in St.Moritz.But due to the sport only being available at the Cresta Run at the time，it fell into obscurity(默默无闻) while the luge and bobsleigh grew in popularity.However，in 2002，the skeleton was reintroduced as a men’s and women’s event at the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics，and has remained a part of the Olympic program ever since.While Great Britain has the most medals(nine) in skeleton competition at the Olympics，the top spot belongs to the United States(eight medals) by virtue of having four silvers to Great Britain’s one(both nations have three golds，while Britain has five bronze medals，and the United States one)．Great Britain is the only nation to have won a medal every time skeleton has featured at the Olympic Games，and has won at least one medal in each of the five contests of women’s skeleton since its introduction.语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了skeleton钢架雪车运动的起源和发展及美英两国在这一项目获得奖牌的情况。 8．How many events does skeleton have in the Olympics?A．Two.   B．Three.C．Five.   D．Six.答案　A解析　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，钢架雪车是冬奥会项目最少的运动，只有6枚奖牌，一个项目有金、银、铜3枚奖牌，因此有两个项目。从第五段最后一句中也有提示，包括男子和女子两个项目。故选A。9．When did skeleton first appear?A．In 1882.   B．In 1885.C．In 1892.   D．In 1928.答案　C解析　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，skeleton在1892年首次出现。故选C。10．Why did skeleton fall into obscurity?A．Because its material steel was rare.B．Because there was only one run for it.C．Because only men could take part in it.D．Because it was not on the Olympic program.答案　B解析　细节理解题。根据第五段第二句可知，因为skeleton只有一个比赛场地可以使用，因此逐渐受到了冷落。故选B。11．What makes America top Great Britain in skeleton at the Olympics?A．The number of medals.B．The composition of medals.C．The virtue of the athletes.D．The times of hosting the Olympics.答案　B解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，美国以3金4银1铜的奖牌构成，排在英国的3金1银5铜之前。故选B。DFor people born into the Russian aristocracy(贵族) in the nineteenth century，life was full of interesting opportunities—unless they were female.At the time，women generally did not have careers，for they were expected，instead，to focus fully on marrying and raising families.Sophia Behrs was one such young woman.When Sophia married Leo Tolstoy(列夫·托尔斯泰)，he was already a well-known author.Both the couple were literary in their interests：Sophia had been a gifted student and，even at a very young age，was a keen and sensitive reader.Sophia’s marriage to Tolstoy gave her the opportunity to put her abilities as a good reader to use，often advising him on his work throughout the writing process.She served as her husband’s copyist，writing out multiple copies of his novels by hand.She made suggestions for and edits to his work，many of which were incorporated into the final product.In addition，she served as his manager，publicist，and agent，keeping track of the financial and legal sides of her husband’s writing career.If Sophia were alive today，she might have found her calling at a publishing house or literary agency.She wrote her own Russian-language grammar textbook and translated texts from German and English.She also wrote fiction，including a revision of Leo’s novella The Kreutzer Sonata.In that story，a man recounts the dramatic breakdown of his marriage；Sophia retold the narrative from his wife’s point of view.The famous writer was impressed by his wife’s literary talents.“What force of truth and simplicity！” he wrote in his diary upon reading one of her stories.However，Sophia never sought publication for her own work.Writing was not a fantasy that she looked seriously；rather，she regarded it with “a certain contempt(轻蔑) and irony”．Limited by personal modesty，her domestic duties，and the expectations for women in her lifetime，Sophia never even considered seeking fame of her own.Yet Tolstoy would never have been able to produce the work he did without Sophia’s vital contributions.语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了俄国著名作家列夫·托尔斯泰的妻子索菲亚，索菲亚是一个才华横溢的女子，她经常给托尔斯泰的作品提出合理的意见，并且自己也很善于创作。但是索菲亚受到当时社会的影响，从未考虑追求自己的事业。 12．What advantages did Sophia’s marriage bring to her?A．A strong interest in literature.B．A superior sense of gracefulness.C．A profession at a literary agency.D．A chance to put her literary gift to use.答案　D解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，索菲亚嫁给托尔斯泰后，有机会使自己的文学天赋得以发挥。故选D。13．What can be inferred about Sophia from paragraph 3?A．Her revision of The Kreutzer Sonata was admirable.B．Her grammar textbook was easy and simple.C．She had a dramatic and imaginative writing style.D．She almost went through a marriage breakdown.答案　A解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Sophia retold the narrative...his wife’s literary talents”可知，托尔斯泰也对自己妻子的作品印象非常深刻，所以可推断，索菲亚对于《克莱采奏鸣曲》的改写是令人赞赏的。故选A。14．Which of the following words best describe Sophia according to the last paragraph?A．Talented and selfless.B．Loving and ambitious.C．Thoughtful and strong-willed.D．Responsible but proud.答案　A解析　推理判断题。根据全文内容和最后一段最后两句可推断，索菲亚有写作天赋，同时她对托尔斯泰的付出也说明她是一个无私奉献的人。故选A。15．What is the best title of the text?A．Sophia，a Delayed PublisherB．Sophia，the Other TolstoyC．Life of Tolstoy and SophiaD．Literature on Russian Women答案　B解析　标题归纳题。根据第三段倒数第二句和最后一段最后一句可知，文章主要介绍索菲亚本身也极具文学天赋，并且托尔斯泰的成功离不开她的付出。故B项“索菲亚，另一个托尔斯泰”为最佳标题，既表明索菲亚的才华，又说明她成就了托尔斯泰。故选B。Ⅱ.阅读七选五It can be very easy to stick with what you know，instead of trying to meet people who are different from you.  1   Here’s what you can do：Become self-aware.  2   This includes biases(偏见) about your own cultural background.It can be confronting，but by doing this you’ll be able to think about how these traits might impact on your approach to and understanding of differences.You could try：Think about what assumptions you make about your friends，peers，and people you work with.Talk to someone from a different cultural background.Try and get to know someone from a different cultural background better.  3   You’ll automatically find out more about their life and experiences.Just being curious and open-minded can be helpful.Be more accepting.Sometimes，for one reason or another，it’s not all that easy to understand some cultural differences.  4   In other words，you don’t have to understand，or even agree with，someone in order to accept them.  5   One of the biggest difficulties to overcome in understanding cultural differences is making judgments based on one opinion.You should do some research to actually learn about people，instead of making broad-brush assessments.Stereotyping(模式化) people from different cultural backgrounds can impact their quality of life and opportunities.A．Do your own research.B．Think beyond stereotypes.C．Practice being sympathetic towards people.D．Work out your own beliefs，values and personal biases.E．Instead of asking them questions directly，treat them as friends.F．And the best approach is to acknowledge people are different and to accept that’s okay.G．However，trying to understand people from other countries can help you experience more.语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。试着去理解来自其他国家的人可以帮助你体验更多，文章对如何理解和接受不同文化背景的人提出了几条建议。 1．答案　G解析　本空前一句和G项中的“trying to understand people from other countries can help you experience more”构成转折关系，对应G项中的however。2．答案　D解析　根据本空后一句和本空前一句可知，本段是建议对自己形成清醒的认知，D项进一步说明了具体的内容，其中biases是原词复现。3．答案　E解析　根据前文“Talk to someone from a different cultural background.”可知，此处是讲和来自不同文化背景的人交谈，故E项(不要直接问他们问题，要把他们当成朋友)切合文意。4．答案　F解析　根据前文“Be more accepting.”可知，此处是讲对于差异要有包容性，故F项(最好的方法是承认人们是不同的，并接受这一点)切合文意。F项中的accept对应前文的accepting。5．答案　B解析　根据最后一段最后一句可知，此处是指要克服模式化，故B项(跳出刻板印象)切合文意。
