People are often surprised by my fear of blood and needles. Working in a public health unit, I probably have more daily interaction with syringes (注射器) than the average person. But the truth is, having my blood drawn scares me.
When I was 9, I had an extremely high temperature. A nurse rudely stuck the needle into my arm, causing a sharp pain. I avoided having blood taken from my body for the next years. A few months before I turned 30, my doctor ordered a blood test as part of my physical exam. I panicked. Sensing my fear, she gently suggested I see a psychiatrist (精神科医生). “Dr. M helped my other patients with the same fear,” she said.
When Dr. M called to set up an appointment, I hesitated. Talking about personal problems to a medically licensed stranger was uncommon in my family. “A psychiatrist?” Mother asked. “He’ll just put you on drugs. Can’t you get over this yourself?” I almost listened. But I went to Dr. M’s clinic finally. “Phobias (恐惧症) are pretty easy to treat,” he said. I wasn’t convinced of his words. But despite my doubts, I was running out of options.
We started with basic exposure treatment. I watched videos of blood being drawn every day. As I started to feel more at ease with needles, Dr. M suggested drawing blood. As he gently pressed the needle into my flesh, I felt dizzy and breathed deeply. After a few minutes, I looked at the needle. It wasn’t so bad. I didn’t pass out. “You’re doing well,” Dr. M said.
I still find it unpleasant getting blood drawn, but thanks to several months of treatment, I’m less scared. I hate to admit it, but Dr. M is right — phobias can be treated. Sometimes, we have to leave our comfort zone and face our fears. And this can lead to freedom in the end.
24. What caused the author’s phobia?
A. Her sensitivity to pains.
B. Her bad medical experience.
C. Her anxiety about the blood test.
D. Her regular contact with syringes.
25. What was the author’s mother’s attitude toward her appointment with Dr. M?
A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
26. What can we know about the author’s treatment?
A. It was smoother than expected.
B. It eased the author’s pain totally.
C. It centered on watching videos.
D. It cost the author a great deal of money.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Walk toward what scares us
B. Bravery brings us a happier life
C. Ups and downs make one strong
D. Nurse our mental health carefully
C
In a paper published recently in Nature Communications, the authors, including experts from China’s Tsinghua University, said that most of the current electricity demand in advanced, industrialized nations can be met by some combination of wind and solar power. “Wind and solar could meet more than 80 percent of demand in many places without crazy amounts of storage or additional generating ability, which is the critical point (临界点),” said co-author Steve Davis, UCI professor of Earth system science, “if we want to have a zero-carbon emission (排放) future without using fossil energy resources”.
The team analyzed 39 years’ worth of hourly energy demand data from 42 major countries to evaluate the adequacy of wind and solar power resources to serve their needs. They found that a full shift to sustainable power resources can be easier for lower-latitude (低纬度的) countries, which can rely on solar power availability throughout the year. The researchers highlighted Germany as an example of a relatively smaller country, in terms of land mass, at higher latitude which will make it more challenging to meet its electricity needs with wind and solar resources.
“Historic data show that countries which are farther from the equator (赤道) can occasionally experience periods during which there is very limited solar and wind power availability,” said lead author Dan Tong, assistant professor of Earth system science at Tsinghua University. “One recent occurrence of this phenomenon in Germany lasted for two weeks, forcing Germans to turn to dispatchable (可调度的) generation, which in many cases is provided by fossil fuel-burning plants.” Among the approaches the researchers suggested to alleviate this problem are building up generating capacity, developing long-term storage capabilities and pooling resources of multiple nations on a continental land mass to make the burden lighter to a certain country.
“Europe provides a good example to help people produce net-zero carbon electricity,” said Tong. “A lot of consistency and reliability could be provided by a system that includes solar resources from Spain, Italy and Greece with plentiful wind available in the Netherlands, Denmark and the Baltic region.
28. What does Steve Davis imply by saying “critical point”?
A. Electricity demand will be beyond human control in the future.
B. Carbon emission will be reduced by using wind and solar power.
C. Electricity generating can be replaced by wind and solar power.
D. Fossil energy will be used with zero-carbon emissions in the future.
29. What can make a country rely on solar power all the year?
A. Having a large land of its own.
B. Having a small population.
C. Being developed in all respects.
D. Being located near the equator.
30. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ease. B. Stress. C. Accept. D. Arrange.
31. What can we learn from Tong’s words in the last paragraph?
A. People can solve increasing energy demand in the future like Europe.
B. Most countries in Europe have a lot of solar resources to make electricity.
C. Countries like Spain, Italy and Greece have plenty wind resources.
D. Europe has done a good job in producing net-zero carbon electricity.
D
Over the past decades, experts have done a considerable amount of research to explore different ways to encourage children’s learning. Especially, there has been a common focus on how physical activity, separated from the learning activities, can improve children’s learning. However, there has been less of a focus aimed at the potential of integrating (合并) physical activity into the learning activities.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen conducted the Basketball Mathematics study at five Danish primary and elementary schools. The main purpose of it was to develop a learning activity that integrates basketball and mathematics and examine how it might affect children’s motivation for mathematics.
756 children from 40 different classes participated in the project, where about half of them — once a week for six weeks — had Basketball Mathematics during gym class, while the other half played basketball without mathematics.
“During classes with Basketball Mathematics, the children had to collect numbers and perform calculations associated with various basketball exercises. An example could be counting how many times they could sink a basket from three meters away vs at a one-meter distance, and adding up the numbers. Both the math and basketball elements could be adjusted to suit the children’s levels, as well as being adjusted for whether it was addition, multiplication or some other operations that needed to be practiced,” explains Linn Damsgaard, a leading researcher.
The results showed that children’s motivation for math integrated with basketball was 16% higher compared to classroom math learning. Children also experienced a 14% increase in self-determination compared with classroom teaching. Meanwhile Basketball Mathematics improved their math confidence.
“We are planning to do research to examine whether the Basketball Mathematics model can strengthen performance in mathematics. Once we have the final results, we hope that they will inspire school teachers and principals to prioritize (优先处理) more physical activity and movement in such subjects. Eventually, we hope to succeed in putting these tools into school system and teacher education,” says Associate Professor Jacob Wienecke.
32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To show the advantage of the study. B. To explain the reason for the study.
C. To conduct a review of past research. D. To introduce a way to raise math grades.
33. What can we learn about the study?
A. Kids couldn’t enjoy basketball in the process.
B. Kids were divided into 40 groups.
C. It required kids to do math after playing basketball.
D. It tailored activities to different kids.
34. What effect does basketball have on the participants?
A. More motivation for exercise. B. More confidence in basketball.
C. A gain in desire to learn math. D. A rise in determination to learn.
35. How does Jacob Wienecke expect the study to help educators?
A. Make math learning easier. B. Inspire students’ math confidence.
C. Build physical activity into teaching. D. Notice the benefits of physical exercise.

You have been told more than once to gain greater confidence and believe your best days may still lie ahead. Now I tell you some secrets of improving confidence.
When you look good, you feel good. So take pride in your appearance. Make it a point to practice good hygiene (卫生), and get dressed each morning like you are going to work.
36 Then you’ll find that your opinion of yourself becomes more positive.
Activities like learning to paint or play an instrument, studying a foreign language, and taking dance lessons or writing classes help inspire the natural desire to learn and master a new skill.
37 But it shows you can still accomplish new things and find enjoyment in them. This also reminds you that it’s okay to make mistakes, so you can improve and grow, which helps build self-confidence.
38 Find a fitness challenge that you need to overcome, create a plan, and then work to meet that goal. Any form of exercise is beneficial for both physical and mental health. Regular exercise also helps you build confidence, while setting a challenge with mini-goals along the way lets you experience the wonderful feeling of accomplishment.
It’s not easy to go out and interact with people as you age. 39 Lack of confidence can make socializing a challenge, so it is a good idea to volunteer. Choose something you enjoy that also provides personal interaction and gives you a chance to use your available skills.
Help from your friends and teachers allows you to work through barriers that affect confidence. Never be afraid to seek help when you need it. 40

阅读下面材料，根据所给情节和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sally had trouble speaking in social situations. I’m a registered nurse and I love kids and dogs. I wanted to use Bella to bring her joy, comfort and confidence the way only a dog can.
That morning in January, her teacher led us to a room by the school office. “Sally hasn’t spoken outside her home in the last two years,” she told me. “Her parents have taken her to doctors, but nothing has worked.” A little girl stood shyly just inside the doorway. Her eyes brightened when noticing my dog.
“This is Isabella Rose. I call her Bella,” I said. “Would you like to pet her? She doesn’t know anyone here and she’d like to meet you. She does tricks. Would you like to see?”
Sally nodded. I motioned with my hand. Bella lay down and then rolled over. Sally’s eyes cheered up. “She’ll do it for you too,” I said. “I can teach you.”
I showed Sally the hand signals for various commands. She was a natural with Bella. Soon Sally was able to take Bella at her pace all on her own. I could see her standing taller, more sure of herself each time we met.
One morning, when she was working with Bella, I heard a tiny voice, barely a whisper: “Good dog.” Sally didn’t take her eyes off Bella, but I wanted to jump for joy. Sally spoke a little more each week, only to Bella at first, but then to me. Later, she started giving voice commands with her hand signals and her confidence rose. Still, she hadn’t spoken in her classroom.
“Could you bring Bella to my class and show the other kids her tricks?” Sally asked me one day. An idea struck me. “Why don’t you do it?” I said. “I know you can. You’re as good with Bella as I am.” Now, Sally stood nervously in front of her kindergarten class, with Bella sitting calmly by her side. Her classmates focused on Sally, waiting for her to speak.

A【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了Wonder Plates可以为您提供了一个独特的礼物机会——一个个性化的陶瓷盘子，并介绍了你应该遵循的事项及价格、快递等问题。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Step 1中的“On an A4 sheet of paper write personal message(在一张A4纸上写下个人信息)”和“The message should not be more than 50 words(信息不应该超过50个字)”可知，你需要做的是在一张A4纸上写下不多于50词的个人信息。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Charges部分中的“For orders of five to ten plates, the cost of per plate is reduced to $12 and the design and printing of the message is just $75 per plate.
(对于数量5到10的订单，每版的成本降低到12美元，每版信息的设计和印刷只需75美元。)”可知，如果购买六个瓷盘的每个瓷盘共需87美元，6个瓷盘则需支付522美元。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Delivery部分中的“ If you require a faster delivery time, please fill in the Urgent Form and send an additional $30 (guaranteed 3-day delivery).(如果您需要更快的送货时间，请填写加急表格并额外发送30美元(保证3天送达)。)”可知，如果使用加急快递的话，只需三天时间即可收到订单。故选D。
B篇
本文是一篇记叙文。护士的不当操作使作者一直害怕抽血。直到将近30岁时，精神科医生的帮助让作者敢于走出舒适区，克服这种恐惧。
24. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When I was 9... causing a sharp pain... the next years”可知，作者9岁发高烧就医时，一名护士很粗鲁地给作者打针，让她感到剧痛。因此，她得了恐惧症，一直害怕抽血。故选B。
25. D 观点态度题。根据第三段中的“He’ll just put you on drugs. Can’t you get over this yourself?”可知，作者的母亲认为精神科医生只会给作者进行药物治疗，她希望作者能自己克服这种恐惧。由此可知，母亲不赞成作者去看精神科医生。故选D。
26. A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“As he gently pressed the needle... I didn’t pass out”和“You’re doing well”可知，作者刚开始感觉眩晕，呼吸深沉，但几分钟后，她就可以直视注射针了，她感觉没那么糟糕，也没有昏迷，医生也觉得作者表现得很好。由此可知，作者的治疗进行得比预期的要顺利。故选A。
27. A 标题判断题。纵观全文，尤其是最后一段中“we have to leave our comfort zone and face our fears”可知，作者一直害怕抽血，后来听从医生的建议去看精神科医生，在精神科医生的帮助下，逐步走出舒适区，直面自己的恐惧。故A项作本文标题最佳。故选A。

C篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对处于低纬度的工业化国家来说，风能与太阳能的结合能够满足其对电力80%以上的需求。
28. B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的“Wind and solar could meet more than 80 percent of demand in many places... which is the critical point”以及“if we want to have a zero-carbon emission (排放) future without using fossil energy resources”可推知，Steve Davis提到“临界点”是为了说明通过使用风能和太阳能可以减少碳排放。故选B。
29. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“a full shift to sustainable power resources can be easier for lower-latitude (低纬度的) countries, which can rely on solar power availability throughout the year”以及第三段第一句中的“countries which are farther from the equator (赤道) can occasionally experience periods during which there is very limited solar and wind power availability”可知，一个国家的地理位置越接近赤道，就越可能全年依靠太阳能。故选D。
30. A 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的“to make the burden lighter to a certain country”可推知，画线词所在句表示研究人员提出的缓解这一问题的方法包括发展发电能力、发展长期储存能力并将一个大陆上多个国家的资源集中起来，以减轻某个国家的负担。由此可推知，画线词应意为“减轻，缓解”，与A项意思相近。故选A。
31. D 推理判断题。最后一段第一句中的“Europe provides a good example to help people produce net-zero carbon electricity”可知选D。

D篇
本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现，篮球和数学的结合可以激励小学生学习数学，增强自主能力和对数学的信心。
32. B 目的意图题。第一段主要讲述的是专家以前研究的普遍重点——体力活动如何能够提升学生的学习，很少有人关注体力活动和学习活动合并的潜力。第二段话锋一转，提到“进行的篮球数学研究的主要目的是……”。由此可知，第一段的作用是说明进行该研究的原因或者提供进行该研究的背景。故选B。
33. D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Both the math and basketball elements could be adjusted to suit the children’s levels... needed to be practiced”可推知，这项研究根据孩子的不同水平定制不同的活动。故选D。

第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提高自信心的方法。
36. E 本段围绕保持良好的外表展开，空前提到“take pride in your appearance”，空后讲到“然后你会发现你对自己的看法变得更积极”，因此E项“努力改善自己的外表”符合语境。故选E。
37. C 空前提到的“a new skill”及空后提到的“accomplish new things”与C项中的beginner相呼应；且空处与空后一句构成转折关系。故选C。

读后续写
【答案】Paragraph 1:
But not a word came out. Sally had been so excited about putting on a dog show for her class. She had been quite familiar with the hand signals and had practiced for weeks. Now her eyes found mine. I nodded encouragingly. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. Her mouth — then her whole body — seemed to close in on itself in defeat. Sally stood off to the side, head down. I felt awful. Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella.
Paragraph 2:
The next week, she told me she wanted to try again, looking up at me with determination. “Are you sure?” I asked. “You don’t want to wait till next year?” “No,” she said. “Today, I can do it.” Then we headed to Sally’s classroom. The kids were sitting in a circle on the floor listening to the teacher. We walked to the front of the room. I shook Sally’s hands and stepped back. For a few seconds, she stood silently, staring at her classmates. Finally she whispered, “This is Isabella Rose.” Then, a little louder with more confidence, “Isabella Rose.”
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，Sally 是一个患有社交障碍、不敢在公共场合讲话的小女孩。当作为护士的“我”知道她的情况后，“我”让“我”训练的小狗Bella去带给她欢乐、安慰和自信，并帮助她走出社交障碍。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：但是(她)没有说出一个字，由此可知，该段讲的应是Sally在众人瞩目下的心理活动。她可能由于紧张、恐惧，最终没有勇气在同学们面前讲话。写作时可用到的关键词有Sally，Bella，the hand signals，classroom等。第二段的开头是：第二周，她坚定地抬头看着我，告诉我她想再试一次。显然接下来的内容可能是Sally的第二次努力：她虽然感到紧张、害怕，但最终在同学们面前开口说话了。写作时可用到的关键词有confidence，teacher，classroom，classmates等。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：be familiar with，stood off，head down等高级词汇；非谓语动词的运用Sally returned to her seat, not looking at anyone, not even Bella.等高级句式。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。

W: Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo are the biggest Sweetest Day cities). But this holiday is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country. Sweetest Day is celebrated to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends and relatives. Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and patients too often felt forgotten, formed in the mind an idea of showing them that they were not. He did this by the distribution of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed them on a Saturday in October. In the years that followed, other residents began to participate in the event, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Day became an occasion for acknowledging others with a kind act or a small remembrance. Soon the idea began spreading to other cities all over the country.
