attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.

I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.

I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self-improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.

I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self-reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self-hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.

I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.

4．What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A．She could change her weight at will.

B．She had different beauty standards from others. C．She tried to love others to build her confidence. D．She was greatly influenced by others' opinions. 5．Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”? A．She was poorly disciplined. B．She failed to celebrate “skinny”． C．She was labelled as lazy for her weight.

3

D．She put on more weight after entering adulthood. 6．What caused the author to make a change? A．Her lighter body. C．Popular beauty standards. 7．What is the best title for the text? A．Beauty matters. C．Worth your weight. 【答案】 4．D 5．C 6．B 7．C 【分析】

这是一篇记叙文的文章。作者由于体重偏重一直处于自卑的心理状态，所以拼命减肥，直到一场重病让她清醒过来，开始接受自己的体重，爱护自己。 4．

细节理解题。根据第二段“Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.（由于没有达到传统的美的标准，我确信如果我想要被爱，我需要付出更多，做任何事情来取悦周围的人。）”中的to please everyone around可知，作者深受周围人的看法的影响。故选D项。 5．

推理判断题。根据第三段“I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self-improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined.（我进入了成年期，认为自己“不够”——这个想法的萌芽，不仅是因为“瘦”受到称赞，还因为与减肥相关的语言——自我改善、自律——都是美德。肥胖很快就会把你归类为懒惰和无纪律的人。）”中的lazy and undisciplined可知，由于肥胖，作者还被贴上了懒惰（lazy）和无纪律的标签。故选C项。 6．

推理判断题。根据第三段“I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier

B．Opinions vary. D．Beyond your limits. B．A troublesome illness. D．Others' critical comments.

and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.（例如，我没有意识到，我的生理期比以往任何时候都更沉重和痛苦。事实上，我得了一种罕见的疾病，后来做了两次手术。）”中的disease以及第四段“I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true.（我总是觉得我的体重是我生活中许多问题的根源; 我已经知道这不是真的。）”中的I have learnt this is not true可知，由于生病作者已经意识到体重不是自己问题的根源。再结合第四段最后“I have taken first steps to acceptance.（但我已经迈出了接受现实的第一步。）”作者做出了改变。由此推测，是生病让作者决心做出改变。故选B项。 7．

主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段“There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long.（有时候我会在社交媒体上看到一些声音，说我太胖了，不值得被爱，但是我正学着不要长时间地关注这个想法。）”可知，作者主要想表达接受自己原本的体重，并学会爱自己。C项“你的体重有价值”符合题意，适合作标题。故选C项。

In 1998, people in Na Doi, a quiet village in northwest Thailand, noticed that their fish catches in the nearby Ngao River were declining. The fish they did manage to net were also getting smaller. Together, Na Doi’s 75 households decided to try a new solution: they would set aside a small stretch of river to be strictly off-limits to fishing.

The rules are usually simple: no fishing of any kind in an agreed-upon area marked by flags or signs. While freshwater reserves won’t solve everything, in places where fish populations are under pressure, they can give species much-needed breathing room to rebuild their numbers, ultimately making them better able to weather other environmental problems.

Na Doi was the second village in the Ngao River valley to adopt this pioneering approach to freshwater fisheries management. Since the late 1990s, at least 50 other villages there have done the same. As a whole, the entirely grassroots-led reserves have been surprisingly successful, according to findings recently published in Nature. Most importantly, the Thailand case provides probably the best real-world proof that fisheries reserves can benefit not just oceans, but freshwater, too

In 2012. Aaron Koning, then a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin, began investigating the Ngao River valley reserves to see how widespread and successful they truly were. Koning found, not surprisingly, that older and bigger reserves were more successful, because they offered more time and space—including more kinds of habitat—in which to

rebuild fish populations and re-establish rare species. But even reserves established in the last couple of years showed clear benefits from being spared intense fishing pressure. “Reserves that were located closer to a village tended to have an advantage,” Koning says, “probably because villagers were better able to enforce the rules.”

By comparing different systems and approaches around the world, Koning and his colleagues hope to identify common factors for success that could be tailored to diverse rivers and lakes.

8．What drove Na Doi to create freshwater reserves? A．The declining of the freshwater. B．The success of the nearby villages. C．The increasing fish populations. D．The worsening of the fishing conditions.

9．What does the success of Thailand freshwater reserves suggest? A．Fisheries reserves are helpful in freshwater. B．Thailand is a pioneer in fisheries management. C．The Thailand approach has been applied worldwide. D．Many fish species need to rebuild their numbers,

10．Aaron Koning found reserves that________ were more successful. A．had better rules

B．were bigger and older C．had more fish populations

D．were created more recently

11．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Grassroots-led Reserves Inspire the Worlds B．Fisheries Reserves Benefit Thailand Rivers C．Investigate the Ngao River Valley Reserves D．Na Doi Is Leading Thailand to a Better Future 【答案】 8．D 9．A 10．B 11．B 【分析】

本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了泰国的一些农民在河流中设立淡水保护区来保护水域和渔业，并取得了良好的成效。 8．

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In 1998, people in Na Doi, a quiet village in northwest Thailand, noticed that their fish catches in the nearby Ngao River were declining. The fish they did manage to net were also getting smaller. Together, Na Doi’s 75 households decided to try a new solution: they would set aside a small stretch of river to be strictly off-limits to fishing. (1998年，在泰国西北部一个安静的村庄纳多伊，人们注意到他们在附近的Ngao河上的渔获量正在下降。他们设法捕捉到的鱼也在变小。纳多伊的75户家庭决定一起尝试一种新的解决方案：他们将留出一小段河流，严格禁止捕鱼)”可知，由于渔民的捕鱼量数量下降，所以纳多伊预留出一小段河流禁止捕鱼。即捕鱼条件的恶化，促使纳多伊开始建立淡水保护区。故选D。 9．

细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Most importantly, the Thailand case provides probably the best real-world proof that fisheries reserves can benefit not just oceans, but freshwater, too.(最重要的是，泰国的案例提供了可能是最好的真实世界的证据，证明渔业储备不仅可以使海洋受益，也可以使淡水受益)”可知，泰国的淡水保护区成功可以证明渔业储备可以让淡水受益。故选A。 10．

细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Koning found, not surprisingly, that older and bigger reserves were more successful(Koning发现，毫无疑问，更古老和更大的保护区更成功)”可知，Koning发现更古老和更大的保护区更成功。故选B。 11．

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Together, Na Doi’s 75 households decided to try a new solution: they would set aside a small stretch of river to be strictly off-limits to fishing. (纳多伊的75户家庭决定一起尝试一种新的解决方案：他们将留出一小段河流，严格禁止捕鱼)”和文章第三段“Most importantly, the Thailand case provides probably the best real-world proof that fisheries reserves can benefit not just oceans, but freshwater, too.(最重要的是，泰国的案例提供了可能是最好的真实世界的证据，证明渔业储备不仅可以使海洋受益，也可以使淡水受益)”可知，本文主要介绍了泰国的一些农民在河流中设立淡水保护区来保护水域和渔业，并取得了良好的成效。那么B项Fisheries Reserves Benefit Thailand Rivers(渔业保护区对泰国河流有利)满足题意。故选B。

Improvements to energy efficiency, such as LED lights, are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions. Yet a growing body of research suggests that a rebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements, making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.

A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect. First comes the direct rebound: for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car, they may take advantage of that by driving it further. Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.

Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect, they produced very consistent estimates of its impact, leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out, on average, 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.

“We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.

The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hoped-for savings dates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论), named after the economist William Stanley Jevons, who, in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.

If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested, it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carbon-capture technology than is currently being planned for.

But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect. 12．Which of the following is a rebound effect? A．A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions. B．A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste. C．A family saves money by using energy-saving devices.

D．A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes. 13．How did Paul Brockway's team carry out their research? A．By interviewing economists. B．By analyzing former studies. C．By modeling the rebound effect.

8

D．By debating about the Jevons paradox.

14．What would Paul Brockway probably agree with? A．Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency. B．Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain. C．The rebound effect helps protect the environment. D．More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.

15．What's the author's attitude towards limiting the rebound effect? A．Positive. C．Doubtful. 【答案】 12．D 13．B 14．D 15．A 【分析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由提高能源效率所带来的反弹效应可能使其节省的资金大大缩减，并指出人们应采取任何措施来限制反弹效应。 12．

推理判断题。根据第二段“Then comes the indirect rebound: fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy, consuming energy.（然后是间接反弹：节省的燃料使车主有更多的钱花在其他经济领域，消耗能源。）”可知，D项“女士把省油汽车节省的钱花在买更多的衣服上。”就是把省下来的钱花在其他经济领域（服装领域）上，符合间接反弹效应。Ｄ项正确，其它选项不符合题意。故选D项。 13．

推理判断题。根据第三段“Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect,（尽管这33项研究使用了不同的方法来模拟反弹效应，）”中的model the rebound effect可知，研究团队是通过模拟回弹效应进行他们的研究的。故选B项。 14．

推理判断题。根据第四段““We're not saying energy efficiency doesn't work. What we're saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,” says Brockway.（Brockway说：“我们并不是说能源效率不起作用，我们的意思是需要更加认真地对待经济反弹。”）”中的be

B．Pessimistic. D．Disapproving.

9

taken more seriously可知，Brockway认为应该更加关注回弹效应。故选D项。 15．

推理判断题。根据最后一段“But that doesn't mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.（但这并不意味着我们不能采取任何措施来限制反弹效应。一个解决办”中的双重否定句可知，法是加倍提高能源效率，并采取双倍的措施来达到同样的效果。）作者对于限制反弹效应是持积极（positive）态度的，并提出了对应的解决办法。故选A项。

二、七选五

Critical thinking is the process of carefully and systematically analyzing problems to find ways to solve them. It involves identifying several possible solutions and then logically evaluating each one, comparing them to one another, and then selecting the one that you conclude is the most promising

16．Employers prefer job candidates who can demonstrate a history of using critical thinking skills. They want to have employees who can solve problems quickly.17．

You may think there isn't enough time to take a slow and measured approach to problem solving. After all, time is limited, and quick and easy answers are appealing.18． Critical thinking is one of several life skills you should try to develop while still in school.19．Your assignments will require you to generate hypotheses（猜想）and then test them before coming to conclusions. Students taking art classes also use critical thinking. To complete projects, you will have to select media and techniques that will best allow you to achieve your artistic vision

After all, time is limited, and quick and easy answers are appealing.（你可能会认为没有足够的时间来采取缓慢和慎重的方法来解决问题。毕竟，时间有限，快速而简单的答案很有吸引力。）” 本段前两句说人们会因为时间有限而倾向于快速得出答案或解决方案。G选项“However, rushing to make a decision is less productive than using critical thinking.”（然而，匆忙做出决定比使用批判性思维的效率要低。）G项意思转折，说明快速做决定不如先进行批判性思考的效率高。符合题意，故选G项。 19．

11

根据下文“Your assignments will require you to generate hypotheses（猜想）and then test them before coming to conclusions. Students taking art classes also use critical thinking.（你的作业将要求你生成假设，然后在得出结论之前测试它们。上艺术课的学生也会运用批判性思维。）” 本段介绍批判性思维对学生的作用。此处以选择学习科学为例，和后一句共同介绍批判性思维在科学学科中的作用，同时和后面介绍艺术学科相关内容并列。A选项“Sign up for science classes, for example”（比如，报名参加科学课程。）符合题意，故选A项。 20．

根据前文“Graduates aren't out of luck. Practice your critical thinking while performing everyday activities.（毕业生们并非运气不好。在日常活动中练习批判性思维。）”和下文“When deciding where to have dinner, weigh your alternatives regarding the type of food, healthfulness, and cost. (当你决定去哪里吃晚餐时，考虑一下食物的种类、健康程度和价格。)”可知，本段介绍日常生活总，批判性思维也很重要，下文举例说明，F选项“For example, before going out, learn about each means of transportation.”（例如，出门之前，了解各种交通工具。）也是举例，解释上文，与下文是并列关系。故选F项。

Satya Nadella still remembers his interview question from many years ago, “A baby falls, and is crying, what will you do?” “I'll call 911.” Then, he was told to 21 some empathy(同理心). Because he needs to pick the baby up and 22 it first before he calls.

Nadella says that although he did get the job, the 23 he learned from that interview question is core to doing good business.

One of Nadella's main tasks when he 24 as Microsoft's CEO was to get his key people on the same page. Empathy would prove 25 to making that happen.

To illustrate, imagine that you walk into work one day to find a colleague 26 about a problem. You may think to yourself, “Why are they always complaining?” Or, “I've had that problem before”. What's the big 27 ?”

Even if you don't 28 those thoughts, just thinking them will make you likely to get 29 or frustrated when dealing with your colleague. This, of course, only makes the situation worse for them—and completely 30 your relationship.

31 , what if you offered your colleague a(n) 32 ear? When you do this, you're learning to see the world through the eyes of others. Your colleague will see you as

六、读后续写

47．阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Everything about moving day was a puzzle. I didn't know anything about our new building on a new street. Our old life was broken into pieces and packed up in piled boxes. I wondered if it would ever fit back together again.

Mom introduced me to our new neighbours, the Chens. Mrs Chen worked with Mom at the job she'd just started. Mr Chen was a famous craftsman(匠人) from China.

Mom said it was a fresh start, but it felt broken to me. I just wanted things to go back to how they had been before.

After the first day at my new school, I walked home alone. Mom had told me she had to work. I was still hoping she'd meet me after the bell. I had to open the door myself with the new key. I felt a bit hungry and went straight into the kitchen, ripping tape from the packed boxes while I searched for a clean plate. My fingers slipped, and something went crashing to the ground.

“Benjamin” cried Mom from the doorway. I didn't hear her come in. “What just broke?” she asked, kneeling to pick up the pieces. In her hands, I recognized the shattered pieces. It was Grandma's bowl. “I can't believe you broke this,” she said.

“Well, I can't believe we have to live here now! I can't believe I have to switch schools, and I can't believe you didn't even meet me after my first day” I ran into my room, slamming the door behind me.

The broom swept across the kitchen floor. Then the click of Mom's bedroom door closed behind her. I sneaked out into the kitchen and found the fragments in the dustbin. There were so many pieces in here, but maybe I could put them back together. Turning the pieces, I tried to match them,but this bowl would never look the same again.

20

“I'm sorry I yelled,” said Mom, as she opened her door. “Please just throw out the pieces. We can't make a fresh start with broken things.”

As I wandered down the hall, Mr Chen was emptying his garbage. 注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1：

“Are you sure you want to throw that out?” he asked.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2：

I brought the repaired bowl into her room.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1：

“Are you sure you want to throw that out?” he asked. My throat twisted into a knot. “It's broken,” I murmured. “That's a simple repair. Come.” In their apartment, Mr Chen spread the broken pieces out like a jigsaw puzzle. After finding each match, he taught me to delicately rebuild the bowl, filling in the crack lines with a special paint. Finally, the bowl was together again. I held it gently in the palm of my hand and admired it for long. Slightly different, it was as beautiful as before. I couldn't wait to show it to Mom and rushed back home. Paragraph 2：

I brought the repaired bowl into her room. Obviously, she was more than surprised to see the bowl again. “It's amazing” she marveled, running her fingertip over the fixed cracks. “Mr Chen helped me mend it. He is a superb craftsman,” I said with a grin. “Definitely. After being repaired, it looks much stronger than before” said Mom, smiling radiantly. I sat on the edge of her bed, and Mom reached out to me. Our hands joined with crisscrossed fingers, we both knew this was a new beginning. 【分析】
