1.Policies have been made to help the province hard hit by the disaster

A. review B. reveal C. recover D. reserve
【答案】C
【解析】

已经被制定出来了。A. review 复查,反思;B. reveal 揭示,透露;C. recover 恢复;D. reserve
预定,保留。横线后面的宾语为经济,再结合 “province hard hit by the disaster”(受
到灾难重创的省份)可知,制定政策应该是要恢复这些省份的经济。故选 C 项。
2._______the changes we desire, we must be willing to behave in ways that promote
them.
A. Create B. Creating C. Having created D. To create
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意:为了创造我们想要的改变,我们必须愿意以促进改变的方
式行事。分析句意可知,此处指“为了创造我们想要的改变”,表目的,应用动词不定式(to
do)形式。故选 D 项。
3.In the years to come, everyone will be able to take pride in______we responded to
this challenge.
A. what B. when C. that D. how
【答案】D
- 4 -
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查名词性从句的宾语从句。句意:在未来的岁月里,每个人都会为我们如何应对
挑战的方式感到自豪。分析句子,本句为复合句。其中短语 take pride in 对……感到自豪,
介词 in 后的全部内容做介词的宾语。宾语从句 we responded to this challenge.我们回应
这个挑战,缺少方式状语,副词 how 表示方式,意为“怎样,如何”,符合句意。故选 D 项。
4.At the online job fair, students can review job opportunities,__________their CVs
and have interviews remotely.
A. drop off B. make up C. cut out D. put away
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:在网上招聘会上,学生可以查看工作机会,投递简历,
远程面试。
A. drop off 放下、递交;B. make up 编造;C. cut out 切断;D. put away 放好。根据空
后的“their CVs and have interviews”可知此处表示“投递简历”,故 A 项正确。
5.— Fancy meeting you here! Are you a librarian?
— Not really. I________my volunteer effort until the new term begins.
A. will just contributeB. have just contributed C. just
contribute D. am just contributing
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:——很高兴在这儿见到你!你是图书馆管理员吗?——并不是。
我只是在做志愿者工作,一直做到新学期开始。根据语境和句中给出的时间状语 until the new
term begins 可知,讲话者目前正在从事志愿者工作,表示说话时正在进行的动作,符合现在
进行时的特点,要用现在进行时。故选 D 项。
6.The project that we are working hard to see _______next month will relieve the
traffic pressure.
A. to be completed B. completing C. completed D. complete
【答案】C
【解析】
- 5 -
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:我们正在努力争取下个月完成的项目将缓解交通压力。分
析句子可知,本句为含有定语从句的复合句,其中 the project 为先行词,在定语从句 we are
working hard to see _______next month 中做 see 的宾语;根据 see sth.done 看到某事被
做完,project 和 complete 为动宾关系,所以使用过去分词作宾语补足语。选项 C 符合题意。
故选 C 项。
7.When Stanley finally made it to the lecture hall, the professor________his speech
for half an hour.
A. had delivered B. delivered C. was delivering D. has
delivered
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意: 当斯坦利终于来到演讲厅时,教授已经演讲半个小时了。根
据句意,“deliver”这一动作发生在“made it”之前,when 引导的时间状语从句表示过去
发生的动作,故“发表演讲”是发生在“过去的过去”的动作,用过去完成时,故选 A。
【点睛】过去完成时用法解析:
1、表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成的动作。 表示的时间是"过去的过去 "常
与 by last year, by the time of yesterday,等连用。如:
She said she had seen the film 4 times. 她说她看过这部电影 4 次。
When Mr Li got to the classroom, all the students had begun reading.
当李老师到教室时,所有的学生都开始阅读了。
2、表示从过去某一时间开始一直延续到过去另一时间的动作或状态。常与 for (后跟段时间)
或 since (后跟点时间)等连用.如:
She had worked in this school since it opened 25 years ago.
自从这所学校 25 年前开办以来就一直在那里工作。
8.The student is grateful to his English teacher, without________encouragement he
wouldn't have pulled through.
A. what B. whose C. whom D. which
- 6 -
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:这个学生很感激他的英语老师,没有老师的鼓励,他不会康
复。分析句子可知,without________encouragement he wouldn't have pulled through 是
定语从句,先行词是 his English teacher,从句中作定语,修饰 encouragement,故用关系
代词 whose。故选 B。
【点睛】定语从句中 whose 的用法 whose 引导的定语从句是语法重点,要学好 whose 引导的
定语从句的用法,应注意以下六个方面。
一、whose 为 who 的所有格,作“某(些)人的……”解,它所指代的先行词必须是人,其引导
的定语从句修饰它的先行词,同时它本身在从句中作定语。
This is the little girl whose parents were killed in the great earthquake.这
就是在那次大地震中失去双亲的那个小姑娘。
二、whose 也可作 which 的所有格,作“某(些)物的……”解,它所指代的先行词必须是物,
其语法功能同上。
The company whose name was Notco was in Australia.那个名叫诺特可的公司设在澳
大利亚。
三、由于 whose 具有兼作 who 和 which 的所有格的双重功能,故在指人时可用 of whom 代替
whose,指物时可用 of which 代替 whose。
This kind of book is for children whose native language(=the native language of
whom)is Chinese.这种书是给母语是汉语的儿童看的。
9.Promoting the ______of energy and carbon footprint reduction is an essential part
of building an ecological civilization.
A. consumption B. conservation C. constitution D.
construction
【答案】B
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:提升能源保护和减少碳足迹是建设生态文明的重要组成
部分。A. consumption 消费;B. conservation 保护;避免浪费;C. constitution 建立;组
成;D. construction 建筑;建造。根据下文的 building an ecological civilization 可知,
- 7 -
能源保护是生态文化的一部分,故选 B。
10.The artists staged music and dances with Nantong features at the folk festival,
winning applause_________.
A. at will B. at random C. at intervals D. at odds
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意:艺术家们在民间艺术节上表演了南通特色的歌舞,不时
地赢得阵阵掌声。A. at will 任意地;随意地;B. at random 随机的;C. at intervals 间
或;不时;D. at odds 有分歧;不一致。根据句意,表演不时地赢得掌声。故选 C。
11.It was in the Lake District, a tourist attraction in England________they met each
other and became fast friends.
A. where B. which C. when D. that
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意:就是在湖区——英格兰一处旅游胜地——他们遇到了彼此并成
为了朋友。分析句子结构可知,这里并非 England 或 Lake District 作先行词的定语从句,
而是符合 it is/was…that/who 结构的强调句。强调的是介词短语。故选 D 项。
【点睛】强调句与状语从句、定语从句等其他句型是比较容易混淆的,这里有一个重要的区
分方法:区别强调句式与其他句子的关键是看去掉 It is/was … that/who…后是否影响句子
的结构与意义。如果去掉该结构不影响句子的完整性就是强调句。该小题中如果去掉 It
was…that 后句子就变为 They met each other and became fast friends in the Lake District
(省略插入语),显然结构与意义都是完整的,确实为强调句。
12.Visitors who have booked tickets online can show their ID cards or
other_______documents to enter the museum.
A. blank B. valid C. lame D. plain
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:在网上订票的游客可以出示身份证或其他有效证件进入博
- 8 -
物馆。A. blank 空白的; B. valid 有效的;C. lame 跛足的;D. plain 朴素的。根据“their
ID cards”可知此处表示“有效证件”,故 B 项正确。
13.Under the regulation, restaurants and hotels shall stop offering throwaway
items_______customers request them.
A. since B. once C. unless D. until
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查状语从句的连接词。句意:根据规定,餐馆和酒店应停止提供一次性物品,除
非顾客要求。since 作为连词,表示“自从”,引导时间状语从句,表示“因为”,引导原因
状语从句; once 用作连词,既可以表示“条件”(= if, as long as),也可以表示“时间”
(=as soon as); unless 意为“除非,如果不”,常用来引导条件状语从句;until 作为连
词,意为“直到”引导时间状语从句。分析句子可知,如果顾客不要求的话,根据规定,餐
馆和酒店应停止提供一次性物品。状语从句表示条件,结合选项看,选项 C 符合题意。故选 C
项。
14.The application of AI technologies in health care industry is in an initial stage
compared with_______ in automatic driving.
A. it B. that C. those D. ones
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意:人工智能技术在医疗产业中的应用相较于在自动驾驶领域的应用,
还处在初始阶段。分析句子可知,空白处所指的仍是前句中的 The application of AI
technologies,是不可数名词,这时要用 that 来指代已提过的名词以避免重复。故选 B 项。
15.— I will go to the bank to pay for the electricity bill.

A. Why bother B. So what C. Why not D. What for
【答案】A
【解析】

- 9 -
使用支付宝。A. Why bother 何苦,何必麻烦;B. So what 那又怎样?C. Why not 为什么不
呢?D. What for 为何?根据语境,空白处应该是认为去银行交电费太麻烦了,且后面给出了
简单的方法,结合选项,故选 A。

A
To Machu Picchu and Cusco, searching for the lost Inca (印加人)city
Climb its towering staircases to a ceremonial temple set in the mountain face. These
ruins mark the start of the 4-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, one of the world's most
rewarding hikes. A quicker way to reach the remote Inca city is catching the train to
the riverside town of Aguas and then jumping on a bus into the misty mountains.
Once the clouds rise from the mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley, the true
splendor of Machu Picchu is finally revealed. It's a humbling experience to stand at
an altitude of nearly 8,000 feet, and gaze down at the Inca city below. Overlooking
the glorious ruins, it's easy to imagine the prosperity (紧荣) this peak must have been
almost 600 years ago.
It's one of the world's greatest mysteries what became of the Incas who inhabited
Machu Picchu.What was once major defense works in the largest empire on Earth was slowly
swallowed by the jungle, only to be uncovered a century ago. The Inca dynasty has come
and gone, but Incan families still survive in the highlands. These modern-day Children
of the Sun still speak Quechua and continue to live off the land, although many come
to Cusco to sell their crops and woolen textiles.
After dusk, when the story of the Incas becomes a whisper in the night, Cusco is
covered under a starry blanket. A landscape so gorgeous that it deserves to be preserved
- 15 -
for ever.
36. The attraction of Machu Picchu lies in_____.
A. its towering staircases B. its changeable weather
C. its natural scenery and culture D. its wilderness and
inaccessibility
37. We can learn from the passage that_______

这里探寻印加古城的遗迹。
【36 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 Once the clouds rise from the mountain ridge above the Sacred
Valley, the true splendor of Machu Picchu is finally revealed. It's a humbling
experience to stand at an altitude of nearly 8,000 feet, and gaze down at the Inca
city below. Overlooking the glorious ruins, it's easy to imagine the prosperity (紧
荣) this peak must have been almost 600 years ago.(当乌云从神圣山谷上方的山脊升
起时,马丘比丘真正的壮丽终于显露出来了。站在近 8000 英尺的高空俯视印加城是一种令人
谦卑的体验。俯瞰着辉煌的废墟,很容易想象 600 年前的繁荣景象。)由此推断出,马丘比丘
的魅力在于它的自然风光和文化。故选 C 项。
【37 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“It's one of the world's greatest mysteries what became
of the Incas who inhabited Machu Picchu.”可知,居住在马丘比丘的印加人后来怎么样

In their book, Nine Lies About Work, Buckingham and Goodall make a surprising
claim: they argue that giving people feedback (反馈)-in the sense of telling them
what you think they're doing right or wrong, and how to do it better-is never worthwhile.
This runs counter to a current corporate trend for "radical candour", for example
at Netflix where, according to recent reports, employees' failings are cruelly
"sunshined" in front of others. When someone is fired, hundreds of their former
colleagues might receive an email, cataloguing their flaws (缺陷). But it also
contradicts an assumption most of us bring to our lives as parents and friends-that
it's helpful, at least sometimes, and providing you do it nicely, to explain to people
where they're making mistakes.
Buckingham and Goodall don't just claim you should keep that knowledge to yourself:
they claim that you don't possess it, and that, in fact, you probably don't know how
a failing employee could most effectively change. It's an old cliche (陈词滥调) of
marital advice that you should use "I-statements"rather than" you-statements",
telling the other person how their behaviour makes you feel, rather than attacking
them for being selfish and incompetent. The standard theory is that you-statements
cause people to respond defensively. But another is that you're a terrible judge of
whether someone is selfish or incompetent. As Buckingham writes: "The only area in
which humans are an unimpeachable (无懈可击的) source of truth is that of their own
feelings and experiences."
Plenty of research shows we're particularly bad at rating people against abstract
criteria, which means one common feature of workplace performance reviews- assessing
whether an employee is, say, a strategic thinker or team player-is essentially
pointless.We should replace this sort of judgment with "reactions". Don't tell others
what you think of their skills, or how good you think they are; instead, focus on
describing your experience of their work. You're no good at judging how someone else
should change their approach to delivering presentations. But you're the authority
on whether a given presentation was persuasive or boring to you.
And positive reactions, they show, work better than negative ones: we excel "when
- 17 -
people who know us and care about us tell us what they experience and what they feel,
and in particular when they see something within us that really works". There's a
deep point here- that the best kind of praise focuses on how someone made you feel,
not on evaluating their talent. Praise them for inspiring you, persuading you, or
helping you grasp a complex issue. You really are the only objective judge of that.
38. The underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refers to"_______”.
A. giving people feedback
B. cataloguing colleagues' flaws
C. contradicting parents’ assumption
D. keeping that knowledge to yourself
39. Feedback is never worthwhile in that_________.
A. people tend to defend it
B. it is based on theory and truth
C. it is subjective and lacks uniqueness
D. people will effectively change themselves
40. Which of the following is the most appropriate to comment on others?
A. "You have done a good job in the mid-term exams."
B. "I am inspired by the creative ideas in your presentation.
C. "You just think of yourself,but never care about others."
D. "I'm sorry to say you have failed to meet my expectations."
【答案】38. A 39. C 40. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。Buckingham 和 Goodall 在他们的书 Nine Lies About Work 中提出:从告诉
他们你认为他们做的是对是错的意义上讲,人们的反馈是没有价值的。这与当前“激进坦率”
的共同趋势背道而驰。
【38 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下划线单词后的 to explain to people where they're making mistakes
可知,向人们解释他们在哪里犯错。因此 it 指代的是向人们解释他们在哪里犯错;根据第一
段 they argue that giving people feedback (反馈)-in the sense of telling them what
you think they're doing right or wrong, and how to do it better-is never worthwhile.
- 18 -
可知,他们认为,从告诉他们你认为他们做的是对是错的意义上讲,人们的反馈是没有价值
的。因此,向人们解释他们在哪里犯错是在做反馈。所以,it 指代的是给人们反馈。故选 A。
【39 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 Buckingham and Goodall don't just claim you should keep that
knowledge to yourself: they claim that you don't possess it, and that, in fact, you
probably don't know how a failing employee could most effectively change.可知,
Buckingham 和 Goodall 不是只认为你应该对这些内容保密,他们认为你并不拥有这些内容。
事实上,你可能不知道一个失败的员工如何才能最有效地改变。由此可知,他们认为反馈是
主观的,只是说话者自己的观点;根据第三段 Plenty of research shows we're particularly
bad at rating people against abstract criteria, which means one common feature of
workplace performance reviews- assessing whether an employee is, say, a strategic
thinker or team player-is essentially pointless 可知,大量研究显示,我们特别不擅长
用抽象的标准来评价人,这就意味着,本质上,评估员工是否是战略思考者或团队成员,这
样的具有共性的工作场所绩效评估都有是毫无意义的。由此由此可知,反馈是相同的,缺乏
独特性。所以,反馈没有价值是因为它是主观的,缺乏独特性。故选 C。
【40 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 There's a deep point here- that the best kind of praise focuses
on how someone made you feel, not on evaluating their talent. Praise them for inspiring
you, persuading you, or helping you grasp a complex issue.可知,有一个很重要的点:
最好的赞美专注于某人给你的感觉上,而不是评价他们的才能。赞扬他们鼓舞你,说服你,
或帮助你理解了一个复杂的问题。因此,B 选项“你演讲中的创意给了我灵感。”是对别人最
合适的评论。故选 B。
C
Birds use vocalizations to attract mates, defend territories, and recognize
fellow members of their species. But while we know a lot about how variations in
vocalizations play out between populations of songbirds, it's far less clear how this
variation affects birds such as penguins in which calls are inherited (遗传). A new
study from The Auk: Ornithological Advances examines differences in the calls of
Little Penguins from four colonies in Australia-night-time birds for whom
vocalizations are more important than visual signals-and finds that differences in
- 19 -
habitat, rather than geographic isolation (隔离) or other factors, seem to be the
key driver of variation in the sounds these birds use to communicate.
Diane Colombelli-Negrel and Rachel Smale of Australia's Flinders University
recorded calls from four Little Penguin populations across a small area of South
Australia, one of which had previously been shown to have slight genetic differences
from the other three, and used playback experiments to test penguins ability to
distinguish between calls from different colonies.They found that agonistic calls,
which are used in pair displays and aggressive situations, varied among the four
populations, and that the calls' characteristics appeared to depend on small-scale
differences in the habitat where the penguins lived. However, birds did not
discriminate between calls originating from different colonies, which suggests that
agonistic calls don't seem to play a role in isolating the two different genetic
groups.
Penguins living in open habitats produced lower-frequency calls than those living
in habitats with thicker vegetation-the opposite of the trend typically observed in
songbirds. The authors think that agonistic calls may be subject to different
selective pressures because they're used in close encounters with other birds rather
than to communicate across distances, and could also be influenced by variation in
the noise level of wind and surf.
“I was excited to find that in seabirds, as most of our knowledge in this area
comes from studies on songbirds," says Colombelli-Negrel. "This new research suggests
that many factors influence call variation in birds, which also depends on the function
- 20 -
of the calls. This study highlights that many questions remain and that studies need
to investigate more than one factor in conjunction with the function of the calls
to fully understand call variation in seabirds.”
“This work tells an interesting story of vocal diversification in Little Penguins,
and gives insight into how individual and micro-scale variation effects behavior,"
according to Stony Brook University's Heather Lynch, an expert on penguin calls who
was not involved in the study. "Non-vocal-learning birds are relatively understudied
in terms of vocalizations, and it is great to see penguin vocalizations being studied
in such a way."
41. What does the new study find?
A. Penguins are born with their calls.
B. Penguins communicate by various calls.
C. Penguins' calls are influenced by their habitat.
D. Penguins' calls can help isolate genetic groups.
42. What are the findings based on?
A. The test of penguins' responses to recorded calls.
B. The data collected from penguins across Australia.
C. Controlled experiments on penguins and songbirds.
D. Similarities between the calls of penguins and songbirds.
43. From the passage we can learn that .
A. open-space songbirds tend to lower their calls
B. environmental noises may affect penguins' calls
C. birds use agonistic calls in distant communication
D. songbirds' agonistic calls vary little between species
44. We can infer from Colombelli-Negrel's words that researchers .
A. will keep track of penguins to preserve them
B. have investigated a lot in penguins' calls before
C. will have a broader look at differences in penguins' calls
D. have determined the function of various calls in penguins

I'm Dina Asher-Smith. Growing in Orpington, southeast London, I love being the
hunter. The one in pursuit. In training, I'll latch on to the boys and chase them
down. Even when I was younger, I tended to race girls who were older than me-at 17
I was racing 30-year-olds. It's where I'm comfortable. But the hunter can go on to
become the hunted. And this year at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar,
I won gold in the 200m. At 23, I became the first British woman to win a world
championship sprinting (短跑) title.The morning after the race, I was in the media
tent and was told that I'd been mentioned in the Parliament.
Track and field is a mental game.You're in your own little world, competing to
be the person who can run the fastest in a straight line. My job is to take my body
to a place where I think it can't do any more and then keep going. To do that, I need
to know my strengths and weaknesses. People get caught up in embarrassment or shame
- 23 -
when they're not good at something, but I just don't have that in me. I do have a
voice in my head that tells me if I'm not good at things, but it doesn't make me feel
negative about myself. I use it to identify where I can improve and then I just keep
going to training every day.
I've inherited personality traits from my parents that help me in my career. My
mum is excitable and when I'm on the track, I have her fire-wanting to go for everything.
I always know when I finish a race that I can turn around and find her in the front
row, jumping up and down. My dad is more reserved. He has a cool exterior and that's
useful for me when I need calmness. I know to look for him a few rows behind my mum.
They gave me opportunities to try whatever I was interested in. When I wanted to try
golf, my dad bought me cut-down clubs and had me attempting to putt balls (推球入
洞)in the back garden. My mum used to play hockey with me outside the house. They
took me to so many clubs and classes.
I started training with my coach, John Blackie, in my mid-teens. We met when I
was eight as he ran the kids academy at my running club. Along with my parents, the
three of them always emphasized that they just wanted me to be happy. They never pushed
me too early. And, as I've got older, I've realized that's unique.When running became
serious, I knew that if it all stopped being fun for me, I could stop doing it. They
put Dina the person before Dina the runner. Yes, the public might be disappointed
and the newspapers might have a pop (抨击), but my parents and friends are still going
to love me, and my coach is still going to be there. That knowledge allows me to stay
relaxed under pressure.
Being as prepared as I can be is crucial as it keeps me calm and able to deliver
in the moment.When I was studying history at university, I'd choose exams over
coursework because I knew I could put the work in and perform under pressure. I was
studying heavy things every day, like people facing prejudice because of their skin,or
women sacrificing their lives for others to have the right to vote. It made me realize
how lucky I am that the thing that gets me most frustrated is somebody beating me
on the track.While, yes, I make sacrifices-some easy, such as not drinking and going
out, and some harder, like restricting the food that I eat-ultimately, what I do is
- 24 -
entertainment.
Everyone's asking me about Tokyo Olympics, but I'm more focused on today. It's
important for me to keep my hopes and dreams separate from other people's. I'm grateful
everybody wants me to do well, but my next step has to be for me, not anyone else.

In the course of researching my book, I asked people on five continents, “Who
listens to you?” and the response was usually a long, awkward pause. Even those who
were married and claimed vast networks of friends struggled to come up with someone
who they felt truly listened to them.
It's fueling what public health officials are calling a worldwide epidemic of
loneliness, which increases the risk of dying young. Indeed, studies link loneliness
with heart disease, stroke, dementia and poor immune function.
To fight loneliness people are told to “Get out there! Join a club, take up a
sport, volunteer, or invite people to dinner.” How do you connect with people once
you're “out there” and “face-to-face”? Truly listening to someone is a skill many
seem to have forgotten or perhaps never learned in the first place.
Listening goes beyond hearing what people say. It's also paying attention to how
they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what
they say resonates within you.
Listening is not about simply holding your peace while someone else holds forth.
Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond-the degree to
- 27 -
which you elicit clear expression of another 's thoughts and, in the process, express
your own clearly. It starts with an openness and willingness to follow another person's
story without presumption or getting sidetracked by what's going on in your own head.
Good listeners ask good questions. Everyone is interesting if you ask the right
questions. If someone seems dull or uninteresting, it's on you. Good questions don't
have a hidden agenda of fixing, saving, advising, convincing or correcting. They don't
begin with “Don't you think?”or “Wouldn't you agree…?” and they definitely don't
end with "Right?" The idea is to find out more about the speaker's point of view,
not to influence it.
Also avoid asking appraising questions like “What do you do for a living?” and
“What part of town do you live in?” and “Are you married?” These are not honest
attempts to get to know people so much as rank them in the social hierarchy. It makes
people strongly defensive and is likely to reduce the conversation to a CV recitation.
Instead, ask expansive questions such as, “What's the best gift you ever
received?” and “If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?”
Listening to people in this way is also essential to reaching compromise. You might
not agree with them, but you gain understanding about their background and influences.
Listening is a skill and, like any skill, it degrades if you don't do it enough.
The more people you listen to, the more aspects of humanity you will recognize and
the better your judgments. To listen poorly, selectively, or not at all, will stop
you from having a better understanding of the world.

考查名词。根据第一段中 Even those who were married and claimed vast networks of friends
struggled to come up with someone who they felt truly listened to them.可知即使是
那些已婚且自称有大量朋友的人,也很难找到一个真正倾听他们心声的人。由此可知,今天
的人们发现很难找到一个真正的倾听者。根据上文 a true 可知应填单数名词 listener,表示
“倾听者”。故填 listener。
【52 题详解】
考查形容词或比较级。根据第二段中 It's fuelling what public health officials are
calling a worldwide epidemic of loneliness, which increases the risk of dying young.
可知这加剧了公共卫生官员所说的全球范围内的孤独流行病,增加了英年早逝的风险。由此
可知,找不到真正的倾听者会增加孤独感,可能会导致过早死亡。表示“早期死亡”或“过
早死亡”短语为 an earlier/early death。故填 earlier/ early。
【53 题详解】
考查动词语态。根据第三段中 To fight loneliness people are told to “Get out there!
Join a club, take up a sport, volunteer, or invite people to dinner.”可知为了战
胜孤独,人们被告知“走出去!加入一个俱乐部,参加一项运动,做志愿者,或者邀请别人吃
饭。”由此可知,建议人们积极参与各种社会活动,真正倾听彼此。此处作谓语且表示“参
与”短语为 be involved/engaged in。故填 involved/ engaged。
【54 题详解】
考查动词。根据第四段 Listening goes beyond hearing what people say. It's also paying
attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context,
and how what they say resonates within you.可知倾听不仅仅是听别人说什么。也要注意
他们说话的方式,说话时他们做了什么,在什么语境下,以及他们的话如何在你心中产生共
鸣。由此可知,注意力要集中在说话人身上,也要集中在说话的内容上。表示“集中于”短
语为 concentrate/focus on,且此处为祈使句句首动词用原形,要大写。故填 Concentrate/
Focus。
【55 题详解】
考查副词。根据第五段中 It starts with an openness and willingness to follow another
person's story without presumption or getting sidetracked by what's going on in your
own head.可知它以一种开放的心态和意愿开始,不做任何推测,也不被自己的想法所左右。
由此可知,要真实地/开放地/欣然地跟随别人的故事,不做任何假设,也不分散注意力。此

考查动词。根据倒数第四段中 The idea is to find out more about the speaker's point of
view, not to influence it.可知这样做是为了更多地了解演讲者的观点,而不是去影响它。
由此可知,问一些好的问题意味着探索说话者的观点。表示“探索”动词为 explore,且根据
上文 mean to do sth.可知应填动词原形。故填 explore。
【57 题详解】
考查形容词。根据倒数第三段中 It makes people strongly defensive and is likely to reduce
the conversation to a CV recitation.可知它会使人们产生强烈的防御心理,并有可能将
谈话简化为背诵简历。由此可知,避免问评估性的问题,这会让人们不愿意进行开放和深入
的谈话或产生防御心理。根据上文 make people quite 可知此处应填形容词作宾语补足语,
且 表 示 “ 不 情 愿 的 ”“ 防 御 的 ” 形 容 词 为 reluctant/ unwilling/ defensive 。 故 填
reluctant/ unwilling/ defensive。
【58 题详解】
考查动词。根据倒数第二段中 Listening to people in this way is also essential to
reaching compromise. You might not agree with them, but you gain understanding about
their background and influences.可知以这种方式倾听他人也是达成妥协的必要条件。你
可能不同意他们的观点,但你可以了解他们的背景和影响。由此可知,通过问一些具有拓展
性的问题可以缩小差距,拉近彼此之间的距离,并找到共同点。表示“缩小差距”短语为
bridge/ narrow gaps 根据上文 Listen to people by asking expansive questions to 可知
此处为不定式作目的状语,故填动词原形。故填 bridge/ narrow。
【59 题详解】
考查名词。根据最后一段中 Listening is a skill and, like any skill, it degrades if you
don't do it enough.可知倾听是一种技能,就像其他技能一样,如果你做得不够,它就会退
化。由此可知,倾听是一种需要不断练习的技能。结合上文 constant 为形容词修饰名词,可
知应填不可数名词 practice。故填 practice。
【60 题详解】
考查动词。根据最后一段中 The more people you listen to, the more aspects of humanity
you will recognize and the better your judgments. To listen poorly, selectively, or
- 31 -
not at all, will stop you from having a better understanding of the world.可知你
听的人越多,你就会认识到人性的更多方面,你的判断就会越好。不听,有选择地听,或者
根本不听,都将阻碍你更好地理解这个世界。由此可知,好的倾听会提高我们的判断能力,
而糟糕的倾听会限制我们对世界的理解。此处作谓语表示“限制”应用动词 limit/restrict,
根据上文 will 可知为一般将来时,故填动词原形。故填 limit/ restrict。

【答案】Li Jiang and Su Hua are discussing the kite-making course to be opened in
their school. Li is eager to attend it while Su is hesitant, worrying about his
parents’ objection.
I would be happy to sign up for the kite-making course if I were a student in
the school. Making kites will enable us students to have a better understanding of
its history, super craftsmanship and some special local culture, which helps to
promote feelings of national identity. Besides, by making kites, we can cultivate
innovation and acquire a lot of knowledge, ranging from structural designs to geometry.
What’s more, considered as an artistic and group activity, not only can kite making
enhance our ability of aesthetics appreciation, but also it can improve our skills
for teamwork and collaboration.
So with such a good platform to be provided for us, I definitely won’t miss out
on this tremendous opportunity.
