只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 文章结构之篇章结构题 A The term “helicopter parents” refers to “a style of parents who are over focused on their children”． Helicopter parents are always making a big push to provide children with every opportunity to succeed，from baby steps at age 1，homework at age 8，college application at age 18，employment issues at age 25 to family problems at age 30,40 or even older.They constantly shadow the child，always directing his behavior，allowing him zero alone time. Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons.Worries about the economy，the job market，and the world in general can push parents toward taking more control over their child’s life in an attempt to protect them.Adults who felt unloved or ignored as children can overcompensate their own children.When parents see other overinvolved parents，it can cause a similar response.They feel that if they don’t involve themselves in their children’s lives，they are bad parents. The main problem with helicopter parenting is that it can backfire.To give an example，the house where Mary lived with roommates was broken into and things were stolen.Mary called the landlord(房东) to install an alarm system，but before she could finish the negotiations(协商)，her mother rushed in and demanded action.“I felt like my mother ruined my communication with our landlord.We could have gotten it done ourselves.She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated，” says Mary. Obviously，overparenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite.In the long run parents are actually damaging their child’s basic skills to deal with matters independently.It makes the child feel lacking in confidence，less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own.They’re winning the battle，but actually losing the war. 语篇解读 本文为说明文。主要介绍了“直升机式父母”的定义，产生“直升机式父母”的 原因及危害。 1．What’s the purpose of helicopter parents’ overparenting?

Congress permits the 600,000employee USPS to hold a monopoly( 垄 断 ) over firstclass and standard mail.The company pays no federal，state or local taxes； pays no vehicle fees；and is free from many regulations on other businesses.Despite these advantages，the USPS has lost 52 billion since 2007，and will continue losing money without major reforms. The problem is that Congress is preventing the USPS from reducing costs as its 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 sales decline，and is blocking efforts to end Saturday service and close unneeded post office locations.USPS also has a costly uniondominated workforce that slows the introduction of new ideas or methods down.USPS workers earn significantly higher payment than comparable privatesector workers.The answer is to privatize the USPS and open postal markets to competition.With the rise of the Internet，the argument that mail is a natural monopoly that needs government protection is weaker than ever. Other countries facing declining letter amounts have made reforms.Germany and the Netherlands privatized their national postal companies over a decade ago，and other European countries have followed suit.Britain floated shares of the Royal Mail on its stock exchange in 2013.Some countries，such as Sweden and New Zealand，have not privatized their national postal companies，but they have opened them up to competition. These reforms have driven efficiency improvements in all of these countries.Additional number of workers have been reduced，productivity has risen and consumers have benefited.Also，note that costcutting measures—such as closing tone post offices—are good for both the economy and the environment. Privatization and competition also encourage new changes.When the USPS monopoly over “extremely urgent” mail was stopped in 1979，we saw an explosion in efficient overnight private delivery by firms such as FedEx. The government needs to wake up to changing technology，study postal reforms abroad and let businessmen reinvent our outofdate postal system. 语篇解读 本文为议论文，主要论述了如何解决 USPS 在经营上遇到的问题。 4．What do we know about the USPS?

A．needs government’s protection as ever B．can work together with other businesses C．must be replaced by international companies D．should be sold out and become a private service 答案 D 解析 观点态度题。文章第四段中，作者认为解决 USPS 的问题，政府应该向德国、荷兰等国 家学习，那么可推理出这些国家的做法是作者认可的，这些国家的做法可总结为两种：私有 化和脱离政府的庇护进入竞争市场。因此答案是 D。 7．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?

The mid1960s were a time of great change.One such place of change was the world of folk music.Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when he moved from acoustic(原 声的) to electric guitar. Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change.It is called “Dylan Goes Electric.” “There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10 albums were folk records.And Joan Baez，Peter Paul and Mary， the Kingston Trio，all had huge，huge，huge numberone records.” And then this happened：The “British Invasion” introduced the world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music.That worried many folk musicians， says Elijah Wald. They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue.However，a new Dylan sound came from the stage. Bob Dylan had gone electric，and the followers of folk music were not pleased. “When Dylan went electric，I think one of the issues was the feeling that—wait a minute，he’s gone over to the enemy.” Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll.But， author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music. “Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn’t think of rock and roll as stupid music.” In fact，Dylan was a Beatles fan.He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he knew “they were pointing to the direction where music had to go.” Beyond the music，Dylan’s performance that night also marked a turn in American culture. 语篇解读 本文主要讲述的是鲍勃·迪伦是 20 世纪美国最重要和最有影响力的摇滚歌手，他 影响了美国的音乐文化。 8．How did the audience feel when Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival?

Test anxiety involves severe stress before，during or after exams，making it impossible to do your best.It can make your heart feel as if it is racing，and you may submit to “negative selftalk”，convincing yourself you are going to fail or upset.These stressful thoughts，not surprising，can block your brain’s ability to find what is stored in its memory，as well as making it harder to understand the questions and organize your thoughts.Is it possible to stop test anxiety? Developing good study habits，understanding the exam format and marking scheme(评 分方案) can all help to reduce anxiety.But for a greater effect，other methods are also needed，such as relaxation techniques in which you lie down before the exam， close your eyes and focus on breathing while tensing and relaxing group muscles in turn (legs，arms and stomach)． A study looked at anxious students in math exams and concluded that writing about how worried you feel before the exam may also reduce anxiety. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 Be as prepared as possible before the exam，arrive early，and repeat positive statements such as：“Everyone feels anxious；I know I can do this.” Just as in a race，do not look at what everyone else around you is doing.Focus on the paper in front of you.Do a quick skim to evaluate the feel of the overall test.If you feel nervous，take deep breaths and remember that it is just a test. 语篇解读 许多人受到考试焦虑的困扰。本文讲述了运用恰当的方法可以缓解考试焦虑，例 如：养成良好的学习习惯、放松、考前把你的顾虑写出来、考前尽可能作好准备等。 11．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about .
