My name is Destiny, working at a Psychological Counselling Center. In my teens, there was nothing special about me. My older sister, Antia, is beautiful. My younger brother, Tye, is a talent at the age 13. He completely skipped the sixth grade. How do I compete with that?
My mom and I were home alone one day. I went into the room where she was watching television and I blurted out (脱口而出), “Mom, is there anything special about me?”
She thought about it for a moment and then turned down TV. She took a deep breath, took my hand and exhaled (呼气).
“You have the ability to say just the right thing at just the right time.”
“Really? Is that it, words?” I tried to keep my voice steady (稳定的) but I could hear the anger even as I fought to control it.
“It’s more than words, Destiny,” my mom said. I know my mother meant well but I felt worse than ever. I burst into tears.
The next day is when my whole life changed. I went to school earlier than before and noticed Darwin sitting across the room which was strange because no one ever noticed Darwin. Suddenly, Darwin stood up and threw away all his books, shouting loudly. I could hear screaming and crying but the sounds seemed distant as I focused my full attention on Darwin six feet in front of me. I felt the words swell up in me. “Darwin,” I heard myself say with a calm, steady voice. “I have family and friends with so much talent and potential and I have none. There is nothing special about me.” From the corner of my eye, I could see others staring at me in silence. I continued talking. “You are so smart. You can answer questions that the teacher hasn’t even asked yet. Do you know that everyone in this class is envious (嫉妒的) of you?” Hearing my words, he calmed down and gave me a big hug.
Then the teacher came. Learning about what happened, the teacher smiled, “That was a great job you did, young lady. Superman could not have done a better job than you did here today.” I couldn’t believe that she compared me to Super man. I work at Psychological Counselling Center now. There is a cork board over my desk filed with thank-you cards and letters from people who say they owe their lives, careers, or their families to my words. But tome, they are more than words. They are my super power!

C. She understood her mother’s white lie.
D. She had doubt about her mother’s love.
26. What do we know about Darwin from the text?

【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者Destiny在超级有才华的姐姐和弟弟的陪伴下长大倍感压力，觉得自己毫无才华，一无是处，直到她妈妈和老师告诉他，她的话语很有力量，而且她知道在合适的时候说合适的话，当她成为了一名成功的心理咨询师之后，才明白自己的天赋所在。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In my teens, there was nothing special about me.(十几岁的时候，我没什么特别的)”可知，作者先说自己没有什么特别的，接着下文“My older sister, Antia, is beautiful. My younger brother, Tye, is a talent at the age 13.(我的姐姐Antia很漂亮。我的弟弟Tye 13岁就成了天才)”提到姐姐很漂亮，弟弟是天才，推知作者提到姐姐和弟弟是将一无是处的自己与他们对比，表达羡慕之情。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“I know my mother meant well but I felt worse than ever.(我知道我妈妈是好意，但我感觉比以前更糟了)”可知，作者知道妈妈是出于好意说了那些话，但自己知道不能真的相信妈妈说的话，所以感觉更糟糕。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Suddenly, Darwin stood up and threw away all his books, shouting loudly.(突然，Darwin站了起来，扔掉了所有的书，大声喊叫)”可知，Darwin突然莫名失控了。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容，结合文章最后两句“But to me, they are more than words. They are my super power!(但对我来说，它们不仅仅是文字。它们是我的超能力！)”可知， 本文主要讲述作者原来觉得自己毫无才能，但妈妈告诉她她的语言很有力量，在通过语言帮助了身边的人后，作者终于认可了自己的才能，因此本文的主题应是“语言的力量”，故选B项。
C
When people reunite with their loved ones, it's usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange, but most of the time they break down in tears.
Now a group of psychologists (心理学家) from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body's way of keeping emotional(情感的）balance.
“They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions, ”Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.
Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babe. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏) a cute baby's face or even, tell them“I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.
There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction, At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像).People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears* “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together/' said Aragon.
28. What have the psychologists from Yale University found in their research?
A. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.
B. The reason why people cry with tears.

【点睛】代词指代题要求同学们根据语境的逻辑关系、判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象，包括考查it（指动物，无生命的事物、特定的事件或人），they/them(指代人、物、事件的复数名词)，he/she等人称代词的指代意义，以及指示代词this，that，these，those等在文章中的指代意义，考查同学们对文章中叙述特定的人，物，事件的认知能力。解答这类题时，同学们要认真阅读画线词所在句和前后临近句的内容，分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程，理清来龙去脉和前后的因果关系，从而准确推断其指代的对象。本题第2小题，根据第二段中that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional(情感的）balance.（哭泣的喜悦可能是身体保持情感平衡的方式。）“They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions，and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions，（当人们被强烈的积极情绪所压倒时，他们似乎就会发生，而这样做的人似乎从那些强烈的情感中恢复得更好）。由此可知they指的是“Times when people cry tears of joy”。故C项正确。

Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space. You listen to your, favorite songs, play loud computer games or watch a movie - all without other people hearing the sound. That is the possibility presented by "sound beaming,'' a new technology from Noveto Systems, an Israeli company.
On Friday, the company debuted (首发) a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver. No veto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its SoundBeamer 1.0 before its debut. The AP's Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie. The sound seems so close that it feels like it is inside your cars while also in front, above and behind them.
Noveto expects the device will have many uses. Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing. People could play a game, a movie or music without waking up others in the same room. Because the device does not use headphones, it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly.
The device uses a 3-D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener. It sends ultrasonic (超声的) waves to create sound pockets by the user's cars. Sound can be heard in stereo or 3-D. The 3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener, the company said.
The demo (样本) version of the device included nature videos of birds on a lake, bees flying and a quiet waterway. Most people trying the technology for the first time just say, 'Wow. I really don't believe it. It sounds like a speaker, but no one else can hear it ... it's supporting you and you're in the middle of everything. It's happening around you.”
By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head. It is also possible to move out of the sound beam's path and hear nothing at all.
While the idea of sound beaming is not new, Noveto was the first to launch the technology. Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a “smaller" version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.
32. What does the Soundbeamer Product mainly feature?
A. Its various uses.
B. The application of 3-D technology.
C. An escape from other sounds around.
D. The absence of headphones for a listener.
33. How do the people on trial find the device?
A. Scientific. B. Fashionable.
C. Lifelike. D. Convenient.
34. What can a user do with the device?
A. Make sound pockets. B. Enjoy natural scenes.
C. Play games with friends. D. Produce a science fiction movie.
35. What will get improved about the device?
A. Its original idea. B. Its present size.
C. Its positioning ability. D. Its sound effect.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述以色列一家公司开发了“声音光束”的设备，不用耳机就可以传送声音。文章还介绍了这种设备的工作原理和多种用途。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“You listen to your, favorite songs, play loud computer games or watch a movie - all without other people hearing the sound. That is the possibility presented by "sound beaming,'' a new technology from Noveto Systems, an Israeli company. (你听你最喜欢的歌，玩大声的电脑游戏或看电影——所有这些都没有其他人听到的声音。这就是以色列公司Noveto系统的一项新技术“sound beaming”提供的可能性)”以及第二段中“On Friday, the company debuted (首发) a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver. (上周五，该公司推出了一款桌面设备，它可以直接向听众发送声音，而不需要耳机或特殊的接收器)”可知，Soundbeamer产品让听众不需要耳机就可以听到只有自己能听到的声音，也就是即便没有耳机，也能实现耳机的效果，这是这个公司提供的Soundbeamer产品的特色，故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Most people trying the technology for the first time just say, 'Wow. I really don't believe it. It sounds like a speaker, but no one else can hear it ... it's supporting you and you're in the middle of everything. It's happening around you.” (大多数第一次尝试这项技术的人都会说，“哇。我真的不相信。它听起来像是一个扬声器，但其他人却听不见任何声音……你能听到声音，并且仿佛置身情境中。声音在四周萦绕”)”可知，体验产品的人，感觉自己置身声音之中，就像一切发生在自己身边，所以他们觉得这个设备太逼真了，故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The demo (样本) version of the device included nature videos of birds on a lake, bees flying and a quiet waterway. (该设备的演示版是一段大自然的视频，能听到湖面上空的鸟鸣，蜜蜂飞行的声音和安静的流水声)”可知，这个设备的使用者可以欣赏到自然的场景，故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a "smaller" version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year. (该公司首席执行官Christophe Ramstein表示，明年将向消费者推出一款“更小”的版本) ”可知，既然公司要推出尺寸更小的版本，也就是说这个设备的尺寸方面可以改进，故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何在高中成立社团提出了一些建议和注意事项。
【36题详解】
根据空前“If your school doesn’t offer a particular club or group that you’re interested in, starting your own is a great way to meet new people and spend time doing something you enjoy.(如果学校没有提供一个你感兴趣的社团，那么成立一个属于你自己的社团是一个很好的机会来遇见新的朋友，花时间做自己喜欢的事)”可知，空前谈到了自己成立社团的好处，故F项“你还将获得领导经验，这有助于加强你的简历和大学申请的竞争力”符合题意，进一步说明成立自己的社团的好处，F项的also表示递进，故选F项。
【37题详解】
根据本段小标题“Define the Club’s Purpose and Goals(明确俱乐部的宗旨和目标)”可知，本段是讲关于设定俱乐部目标的事。故此处C项“一旦你明白了自己的俱乐部大概是关于什么方向的，是时候将它设定得更具体了。”符合本段首句，提出知道了自己俱乐部的方向后，目标就能设立得更具体。故选C项。
38题详解】
根据本段内容“Mention your club to your friends and people you think will be interested. If your school allows it, create and post flyers a week or two before the first meeting that briefly state the club’s name, purpose, and time and date of the first meeting.(向你的朋友和你认为会感兴趣的人提到你的俱乐部。如果学校允许，在第一次俱乐部会议召开之前的每周或每两周发一次传单，传单上简单陈述俱乐部的名字、目的、第一次会议的日期和时间)”可知，本段主要讲述要将你的俱乐部的信息传播出去，故此空A项“进行宣传”适合作本段小标题，故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据本段小标题“Assign Duties(分配职务)”可知，本段主要介绍给俱乐部成员分配任务的内容。且根据空前“At one of the first few meetings, you should assign leadership roles to help keep the club running smoothly.(在前几次会议中，你应当指派领导角色以帮助社团顺利运作)”可知，空前提到要指派领导角色，故G项“进行选举或者提名一些人来填补这些职位。”符合题意，且G项的these positions与空前的leadership roles相对应，故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据本段小标题“Establish a Budget(建立预算)”可知，本段主要讲述俱乐部用钱方面的事情。且根据空前“Most clubs require some money to stay running, even if it is only a small amount to cover printing costs and snacks.(大多数的俱乐部需要一些钱来维持运营，即使只是一小笔钱来支付印刷费用和零食费用)”可知，空前提到大多数俱乐部一小笔钱来维持运营，故D项“一些俱乐部可能需要一大笔钱，如果他们需要使用大量的材料或组织旅行的话。”符合题意，前面提到some clubs，后文提到“most clubs”进行对比。故选D项。

67. 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。
Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel (争吵) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.
She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of the scolding (指责) from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes…, but I don’t have money on me...” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she dried her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so cruel compared to a stranger! !”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel thankful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered, “Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个小女孩因为和妈妈吵架，愤怒地离开了家，因为受到妈妈的指责，她伤心地哭了起来。走在街上，她感到有点饿，想吃点东西，但她没有钱，好心的小贩请她吃了一碗面条，她很感动，认为妈妈比陌生人还残忍。小贩听了她的话，给她讲道理，小女孩明白了在过去的日子里，妈妈为自己付出了很多，她决心回家向妈妈道歉。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“珍妮走近门口，深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写珍妮到家后发生的事，结合下一段首句内容可推断出，妈妈没在家，所以本段可描写女孩对自己行为的反思。
②由第二段首句内容“有人轻轻抚摸她的头发使她回过神来。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈回来后，母女二人的交流。
2.续写线索：妈妈不在家——珍妮反思自己的行为——感到后悔——妈妈回来了——珍妮道歉——妈妈原谅了她
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.意识到：realize/be aware of
②.抬头看：raise one’s head and see/look up at
③表达：express/show
情绪类
