I remember when Kamala Harris became Je Biden's running mate. It seemed funny hw many peple prnunced her name incrrectly. On ne ccasin, a news hst became upset when being crrected, and purpsely called her Kumbaya.
I am n stranger t this issue as many f my students are frm Asian and Middle Eastern cuntries, and smetimes their names are difficult fr me t prnunce, even after asking them hw t say it. Many students seem unwilling t crrect me when I attempt t learn their names crrectly. The ther thing I've seen in grwing numbers is students “adpting” an English name.
It's much mre cmmn than many think, fr peple t change their names in rder t fit in.
This is especially the case when it cmes t seeking jbs. Racial and cultural minrities ften attempt t avid discriminatin hiring by hiding racial cues n the resume including changing their name. This is referred t as “resume whitening". Research shws almst 50 percent f black and Asian jb applicants did s.
Xian Zha frm the University f Trnt researches ethnic (种族的) name prnunciatin, saying that many peple dn 't understand that habitually prnuncing an unfamiliar name inaccurately is a frm f indirect discriminatin. It sends a message that “yu are the minrities" says Zha. “Yu are nt imprtant in this envirnment, s why shuld I take time and my effrt t learn it?”On the ther end, thse with ethnic names frequently dn't crrect peple, even when their name is prnunced wrng repeatedly, feeling it is better just t keep the peace and nt stand ut fr being difficult.
It is imprtant t try t prnunce everyne's name as they prnunce it. This cmmunicates respect f them as a persn and their culture. There is nthing wrng with asking smene t repeat their name s that yu can learn t prnunce it prperly. This is usually appreciated.
28. When their names are incrrectly prnunced, the authr's Asian students
A. attempt t laugh at itB. tend t accept it
C. ffer t crrect the authrD. agree t change their names
29. Which f the fllwing can be seen as “resume whitening"?
A. An applicatin fr a better jb.
B. A change in wrk envirnment.
C. A ban n racial discriminatin in wrkplace.
D. A practice f using Western names in jb seeking.
30. In his research, Xian Zha finds that
A. ethnics accept their names being misprnunced t save truble
B. ethnics fight effectively with the discriminatin against their names
C. many westerners prnunce ethnic names incrrectly n purpse
D. many westerners make effrts t prnunce ethnic names crrectly
31. What's the authr's attitude tward prnuncing ethnic names crrectly?
A. Critical.B. Uncaring.C. Reserved.D. Supprtive.
【答案】28. B29. D30. A 31. D
【解析】C篇介绍了种族人群在别人念错他们名字时往往选择接收而非纠错，并且会选择重新取一个英文名字的现象以及背后显现的社会问题。
第28题 B 定位文章第二段“many students seem unwilling t crrect me when I attempt t learn their name crrect!”所以面对名字被喊错他们不会去纠正，即接受被叫错，选B。
第29题 D 这个短语出现在第三段，this指代的是前一句话，即种族人群在找工作时会为了避免遭到种族歧视而选择更改他们的名字，此外resume为简历，whiten为白化，也可以联想到用白人（western）的名字填写在简历上，以便找工作，所以选D。
第30题 A 这位专家的研究内容在第四段，根据“thse with ethnic names dn't crrect it is better just t keep the peace”，就是种族人群为了保持和平（避免麻烦），会接受对方叫错名字。
第31题 D 态度观点题，定位第五段“It is imprtant t try t prnunce everyne's name as they prnunce it”和“This is really appreciated”可见作者的态度是支持的，选D。
D
Fr generatins, depressin has been seen as an illness, disrder r even weakness. Such an idea makes sense because depressin causes suffering and even death. But what if we’ve gt it all wrng?
The cmmn wisdm is that depressin starts in the mind with abnrmal thinking. That leads t symptms like headaches, stmachaches, r tiredness. Nw, mdels like the Plyvagal Thery suggest that we've gt it backward. It's the bdy that detects danger and initiates a defense strategy meant t help us survive. That bilgical strategy is called immbilizatin, and it demnstrates in the mind and the bdy with a set f symptms we call depressin.
When we think f depressin as unnecessary suffering, we are telling peple with depressin that they are nt part f the grup, they are nt right and they dn' t belng. That rbs them f hpe. But when we begin t understand that depressin, at least initially, happens fr a gd reasn we lift the shame. Instead, peple with depressin are curageus survivrs, nt damaged sick peple.
The autnmic nervus system (ANS) is cnstantly scanning ur internal and external envirnment fr signs f danger. If ur ANS detects a threat r even a simple lack f safety, its next strategy is the fight r flight respnse, which we ften feel as anxiety. Smetimes the threat is s bad r ges n fr s lng, that the nervus system decides there is n way t fight r t flee. At that pint, there is nly ne ptin left: immbilizatin.
The immbilizatin respnse is the riginal bilgical defense in higher animals. It dulls pain and makes us feel discnnected. Think f sme reptiles (爬行动物), which shut dwn their bdies t avid cld temperatures and the lack f fd and water. In humans, peple ften describe feeling “ut f their bdies" during extremely unpleasant events, which has a defensive effect f reducing the emtinal shck. This is imprtant because sme things are s terrible, we dn't want peple t be fully present when they happen. What incredible capacity f ur bilgy t find a way in hard times!
32. Why des the authr mentin the Plyvagal Thery?
A. T ffer a standard fr identifying depressin.
B. T raise peple's awareness f mental prblems.
C. T make sense f hw depressin affects peple.
D. T crrect a cmmnly held idea abut depressin.
33. What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
A. Depressin can bring peple in crisis hpe.
B. Peple may feel it wrng t have depressin.
C. Depressin is an unnecessary human emtin.
D. Peple ften feel prud f fighting depressin.
34. What is “immbilizatin” in the text?
A. Building up anxiety.B. Rising t challenges.
C. Shutting dwn actin.D. Pulling thrugh a crisis.
35. In which rder des ur bdy react t an extremely unpleasant situatin?
①seek t wrk ut slutins
②becme aware f a threat
③experience emtinal shck
④start defensive discnnectin
A.②③④①B.④②①③C.②①③④D.④①②③
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】D篇为一篇科普文，讲述了抑郁症并非如大多人所想的那样是给人带来痛苦的，相反它是一种自我保护机制。
第32题 D 这个理论出现在第二段，“mdels like Plyvagal Thery suggest that we've gt it backward”提到这个理论证明我们将抑郁症理解反了，所以这个理论是用来纠正我们对抑郁症的既有观点，选D。
第33题 B 第三段的内容以But为分界线，前面是讲我们对抑郁症通常的看法，认为是“unnecessary suffering”“rb them f hpe”,所以人们往往会认为得抑郁症是一件不好的事情，选B。
第34题 C 关于immbilizatin的详细阐释在最后一段，“shut dwn their bdies t avid...”“it dulls pain and make us feel discnnected”,所以这个词的大概意思可以得到推断，就是减少活动，减少与周围人的接触，选C。此外也可以根据词形去推断，mbile移动的，im否定词缀，那就是不移动的，也可以推断到C。
第35题 C 定位文章第四段和第五段，抓住能表示顺序的词，第四段中“if”察觉到威胁或者缺乏安全感（2），“next”给出战斗的回应即想解决的办法（1），“smetimes”威胁过大无法解决或逃离，“nly ne ptin left immbilizatin”,而在第五段中提到immbilizatin是“has a defensive effect f reducing the emtinal shck”所以先是有emtinal shck(3)，再开始“defensive”（4），总顺序就是2134，选C。

When Failure Is a Gd Thing
Failure is an imprtant prcess yu can learn frm. 36
Mst peple view failure as smething that shuld be avided at all csts. 37 It may have been an “F” we received n a paper r the high expectatins ur parents placed upn ur shulders that stpped us frm trying.
Award-winning psychlgist and authr, Rn Friedman, tells the stry f hw Sara Blakely, funder f Spanx, revlutinized the wmen's clthing industry and became a billinaire in his bk, The Best Place T Wrk: The Art and Science f Creating an Extrardinary Wrkplace.
38 She had zer experience in the clthing industry, lacked an educatin in business and raised nly $5,000 t invest. When asked where she fund the curage, she gave all credit t her dad. While mst parents ask their kids, “Hw was yur day?" when sitting dwn fr dinner, Sara's parents asked her and her brther, “What did yu fail at tday?” each and every night.
When interviewed by CNN's Andersn Cper, Sara said, “Instead f failure being the utcme, failure became nt trying. It frced me at a yung age t want t push myself s much further ut f my cmfrt zne.” 39 It became mre abut learning and less abut a persnal weakness.
If we view failure as weakness, we avid stepping ut f ur cmfrt zne. 40 It des nt define us, but instead matures us. I 'm sure that there are many risks we wuld all take in ur persnal, prfessinal and spiritual lives if we culd get past a fear f failure.
What has been the greatest lessn yu have learned when taking a chance? Please share with us.
A. And, mst imprtantly, it means yu tried.
B. Let's take a lk at hw Sara faced failures.
C. In reality, Sara's father had re-defined failure.
D. Early n, Sara vercame a series f difficulties.
E. Instead, we must remind urselves that failure is an actin.
F. It is imprtant t reflect n what can be learnt frm failure.
G. We tend t cnnect failure with a bad experience we had as a child.
【答案】36. A37. G38. D39. C40. E
【解析】文章讲述了Spanx的创始人Sara Blakely的故事来告诉我们该如何对待失败。Sara Blakely的父亲重新定义了失败，他让孩子明白，失败并不是最终结果，而只是缺乏尝试。失败没有定义我们，而是让我们成长，让我们脱离舒适区并变成一个更优秀的人。失败是一件好事，文章难度中等。
第36题 A 前一句说，失败是一个重要的过程，你可以从这个过程中学到很多。选项A，更重要的是，它意味着你尝试了。本题可能错选F，但是注意，F选项的意思和A选项重复了，F选项说从失败中反思很重要；此外，A项更切合主题，失败并非结果，而是一种行为，不愿再尝试才是失败，失败让我们成长。故选A。
第37题 G 前一句说，人们认为失败是生活中无论如何都要避免的东西；后几句讲述的是我们小时候的一些失败。所以这里在讲人们对失败的看法，选项G，我们小的时候通常认为失败是一种不好的经历，进而引出下文小时候的一些失败，故选G。
第38题 D 本题纠结的点可能是B选项和D选项。我们看后文，后文说Sara在服装业没有经验，没有商业的学习经历，也没有钱投资，她只有她父亲的教诲，“你今天失败的做了什么”，所以这一段并没有讲Sara是如何面对困难的，而是在讲Sara经历的困难，故选D不选B。
第39题 C 空前说，失败并非结果，而是一种不愿尝试的想法，讲的是失败的定义；空后说，失败更多是关于吸取教训，而非个人弱点，讲的也是失败的定义。此外，这种失败的定义让Sara脱离了自己的舒适圈，所以这里在说Sara父亲重新定义的失败对Sara的影响，选项C符合文意，选C。
第40题 E 前文说，如果认为失败是一种个人弱点，我们就不会脱离自己的舒适圈，讲的是反面；后文说，我们不由失败定义，而从失败中受到启发进而成长，讲的是正面，所以设空处应包含转折。选项E，相反，我们必须提醒自己，失败只是一种行为，他不定义我们，他使我们成长，故选E。

【解析】本文主要讲了一位作者在稿子接连被拒后没有放弃，继续坚持写作，最后在一位出版商的建议下修改稿子最终成功出版。
第41题 B 根据前文中“with great passin”可知，作者在写新书时怀着很大的热情，因此投稿时也十分自信，故选B。
第42题 D 由But可知，和前文作者信心满满地投稿形成转折关系，推测作者的稿子被拒绝了，reject符合题意，故选D。
第43题 C 作者接连投稿两三家出版社，都得到一样的结果（被拒绝），故选same，C。
第44题 D 作者接连被拒十分伤心，因此把原稿弃置一边了，tear apart表示撕碎，但是根据下文作者又把稿子给了新的出版商可知，稿子没有被撕毁，只是被放在一边不管了。put away符合题意，故选D。
第45题 C 由But可知应和前文作者的沮丧低落形成转折，表达积极的一面。由后文作者继续写作可知作者不能停止写作，故选C。
第46题 B 由上文可知作者在后来的几年继续写作，又发行了几本书。release可以表示发行，符合题意，故选B。
第47题 A 出版商才会问作者要稿子，故选A。
第48题 C 联系下一段可知，出版社建议作者改用第一人称来重写稿子，故选suggest，C。
第49题 D 由于要全文修改人称，对作者来说这是相当大的工作量，fair可构成搭配a fair amunt f相当量的...故选D。
第50题 A 作者虽然觉得工作量大，但还是决定接受挑战，take the challenge固定搭配，故选A。
第51题 B 由下文可知两个月后作者的稿子被出版了，出版商应该是来祝贺作者，故选B。
第52题 A 作者的书成功发行，即获得了成功，故选success，A。
第53题 B 由上文可知作者虽然遭遇挫折，但始终坚持写作，因此她虽然没有天赋，却是一个勤奋的作者，故选hard，B。
第54题 C 由上文，作者共写了15本书，出版了11本，因此还有4本没能得见天日，see the light f day表示这一含义，故选C。
第55题 A 由后半句可知，与短跑对应的应是马拉松。结尾用一个比喻来表达勤奋坚持的重要性，写作正如马拉松一样需要坚持，故选A。

56. dubling 57. are burdened 58. restrictins 59. fewer 60. withut
61. shared 62. that 63. practical 64. which 65. thugh/hwever
【解析】文章摘自经济学人The Ecnmist, 讲述了传统高昂的阿拉伯婚礼让大部分情侣望而却步。疫情期间的限制措施让他们缩小了婚礼规模而不丢失自己的颜面。文章稍难，可能的难题有57，60，61，65。
第57题 are burdened 考查时态语态及定语从句。句意：不结婚的情侣也会背负着沉重的负债。分析句子成分，主语是thse，that dn’t是省略的定语从句，修饰前面的thse；谓语动词是burden，和thse是被动关系。整句是一般现在时，填are burdened。
第60题 withut 考察介词。因为疫情的限制因素，让他们既能缩小婚礼规模，又不丢失自己的颜面，这里缺失的意思是“不”，所以填withut。
第61题 shared 考查非谓语。此处缺hall的定语，而share和逻辑主语halls是被动关系，填shared。
第65题 thugh/hwever 考察连词。前文说，一些人选择简单的派对，后文说，他们还得面对家庭和同龄人的压力，所以这里表示转折，填thugh。
