Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2017·浙江高三五校联考第一次考试)
It used to be a matter of fact when Peter Pan — a character from James Matthew Barrie’s 1911 book — said: “All children,except one,grow up.”
But this “fact” doesn’t seem to apply to today’s world anymore.
According to the NPD Group,a US market research company,sales of toys to adults in the UK increased by more than 20 percent in 2016,three times the pace of the children’s toy market itself.These toys ranged from puzzles and Lego building sets to vehicle models and action figures.And more than half of the sales came from millennials — people born between the 1980s and 2000s.
“Adults of the 21st century are channeling their inner child,one toy at a time,” commented a website.This is also why these adults are sometimes referred to as “kidults”.
According to Frederique Tutt,an analyst at NPD,the motivation of these grown-ups is to escape the stress of today’s fast-paced world.They are driven toward the more immediate pleasures brought by toys than those brought by,say,getting a promotion,which is far less easy to achieve.
“It reminds me of the playful side of life,” Rob Willner,a 25-year-old PhD student in the UK,told The Telegraph when talking about his love for Lego,which he said brings him both comfort and entertainment.
Despite this,some social scientists see the trend as disturbing.To Frank Furendi,a professor at the University of Kent in the UK,the fact that so many adults are pursuing “the thrills of youth” is the evidence that “adulthood has got nothing attractive about it anymore”,he told The New York Times.“That’s actually quite sad.”
But scientists are probably just worrying too much.According to Canadian comic book artist Todd McFarlane,collecting toys could simply be a way for people to express their individuality.“It’s just pop culture stuff.It’s stuff that says,‘I like a little of this and I like a little of that’,” he told ABC News.“It’s no big deal.”
So now that over 100 years have passed since Peter Pan,perhaps it’s time to introduce a new “fact”,as stated in the tagline (标语) of the UK fashion brand KIDULT: “Growing old is mandatory (被迫的),but growing up is optional.”

4.What can be the best title for the passage?

Ⅱ.七选五
Everyone wants to become a better person,but many of us don’t know what to do.1. But I think everyone deserves respect and can become a better person.If you really want it,you can change yourself and your habits by taking a few steps described below.
●Pursue your passion.It’s important to find yourself and pursue your passion.Learn to listen to your inner self,even when someone is trying to bring you down.Some people try to bring you down because they’re too weak and cowardly to pursue their passions and they don’t think you should pursue yours.Don’t listen to them.Spend time with yourself and think about the thing that brings you joy.2.
●3. Another important thing to do to be a better person is to learn how to keep your dignity.Keep in mind that only you’re responsible for your choices and decision in life and never get down on yourself when you do something wrong.Don’t let anyone or anything bring you down and remind yourself that your life is unique,special and really worthwhile.
●Share your time,energy and talents.4. You might not get aware of them,but you have them.Sharing your time,energy and talents can help become a better person,so learn to share more of your precious time with others and help people in need and you will feel much better about yourself.
●Learn something new.You should never stop learning something new.That you are in your 30s or 40s,or even 60s,doesn’t mean you can’t learn a new language or other interesting things.Knowledge is always great.5. When you are a well-educated person,everyone respects you and your knowledge.
A.Generally speaking,a better person must be a talented person.
B.The more you learn about the new things,the better you will feel about yourself.

D.Every person has talents,including you.
E.Learn to keep your dignity.
F.Be responsible for your choices and decision.

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何让自己成为一个更好的人提出了一些建议。
1.C 上文提到,人人都想成为一个更好的人,但很多人又不知该如何去做。而空格后讲人人都应该得到尊重而且可以成为一个更好的人。根据“But”可知,空格处与下文构成转折,故C项“生活如此艰难以至于我们经常犯我们不想犯的错误”既承接上文话题,又与下文构成转折关系,符合语境。
2.G 根据该段主题句和内容可知,该段主要讲述发现自我和追逐激情是非常重要的。因此不要被别人的言行所诱惑,花点时间考虑一下带给你快乐的那些事。G项“你很快就会发现你的热情并开始追寻它”承接上文中的“passion”,并照应该段主题,符合语境。
3.E 根据文章结构可知,空格处是该段的主题句。根据下文中的“to learn how to keep your dignity”可知,该段主要讲述要学会保持你的尊严,这也是成为一个更好的人需要做的另一件重要的事情。E项概括了这一主题,适合做该段主题句。
4.D 主题句讲,要分享你的时间、精力和天赋。联系下文可知,你也许并不清楚自己的天赋,但你一定具备。由此可知,D项“包括你在内,人人都有自己的天赋”与下文话题联系密切,符合语境。
5.B 根据该段主题句和内容可知,该段主要讲述人要一直学习新的东西。故B项“当你学得越多,你就会感觉越好”照应该段主题句承接上文话题“Knowledge is always great.”,符合语境。
