What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement depends on ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual(智力的)struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while addressing a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance after-intervention, compared to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By recognizing a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize(共情)with the scientists during their own struggles.
4. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science. B. They are short of confidence
C. They don’t have inborn talent. D. They have no ability to study science
5. What’s the purpose of the intervention?
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
6. The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A. minimal B. noticeable C. doubtful D. long-lasting
7. What can we learn from the research?
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员向九年级和十年级的学生提出“什么样的人可以成为科学家”这个问题时，几乎每个学生的回答都是“努力学习的人”或“对科学领域感兴趣的人”。为了解除这种误解，研究人员设计了一项干预，即了解更多关于科学家的奋斗可以帮助学生更有动力学习科学，结果发现，听过任何一种“奋斗故事”的学生在干预后的科学表现都有所提高。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as ‘I’m not good at science’ and ‘Even if I work hard, I will not do well.’ It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.(同样是这些学生中的许多人都很难将自己想象成科学家，理由是“我不擅长科学”和“即使我努力工作，也不会做得很好”。他们很容易将科学家的工作视为天生的才能。)”可知，这些学生认为能够成为科学家是天生的才能，“自己不擅长”或“即使努力也无法做好”这样的理由可以看作为他们缺乏自信，从而很难将自己想象成科学家。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.(教师学院、哥伦比亚大学和华盛顿大学的研究人员设计了一种干预措施，让学生了解有成就的科学家在科学努力中如何努力和克服挑战的故事，从而改变学生们认为科学成就反映的是能力而不是努力的观念。)”可知，这项干预通过让学生们了解科学家们是如何努力奋斗克服挑战的，以澄清学生对科学工作的误解。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。分析可知，非限制性定语从句“for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. (对他们来说，接触奋斗故事比阅读成就故事的成绩差的学生在科学课上表现更好)”的先行词为“lower performing students(成绩差的学生)”，因此可知，在“干预”后，接触奋斗故事的成绩差的学生和阅读成就故事的成绩差的学生在科学课上都有了好的表现，且二者之间通过对比出现了“更好”，由此可推知，干预对于成绩差的学生效果显著，因此，“The effect was especially pronounced”应是“效果显著”的意思，由此可推知，“pronounced”应是“明显的，显著的”含义，与选项B“noticeable(显而易见的)”含义相同。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾内容“By recognizing a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize (共情) with the scientists during their own struggles.(通过认识科学家的奋斗，并介绍他或她在完成伟大工作时所运用的成长心态，学生们能够在科学家的奋斗过程中感同身受。)”可知，通过了解一个科学家的奋斗史，学生们使得自己在奋斗过程中能够产生与科学家的共鸣，从而能够改变之前的对于科学家工作的误解。由此可推知，科学家的奋斗故事可以影响读者的信念。故选C项。
C
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor.
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined(减少)by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors led to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist(生态学家)who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources.
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues(同事)documented a widespread death of big trees that was obvious even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into consideration such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness“(潮湿)of soil, and the timing of snowmelt.
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution(分布)of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
9. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. Ecological studies of forests. B. Forbid woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development. D. Fire control measures.
10. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A. Not enough snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Forbidden in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据一项研究显示，自20世纪30年代以来，加州已经损失了一半的大树，而气候变化似乎是其主要因素。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段中“The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined(减少)by 50 percent on more than 46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. (这项新研究发现，在超过46000平方英里的加州森林中，直径超过两英尺的树木数量减少了50%。)”可知，作者用具体数据说明了大树损失在各个地区的严重程度，没有任何地区幸免或不受影响，故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).(积极的野火控制使加州森林里长满了与大树争夺资源的小树。)”可知，对野火的控制使得加利福尼亚的森林里挤满了小树，与大树争夺资源，也就是对野火的控制是善意的，但对大树产生了不利的影响。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.(加剧该州水资源压力的最大因素是气温上升，这导致树木流失更多的水分到空气中，以及融雪提前，这减少了旱季树木的供水。)”可知，造成加州水资源短缺的最大因素是温度升高，气候变暖，这导致树木向空气中流失更多的水分，以及更早的融雪，这减少了旱季对树木的供水量。因此故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，自20世纪30年代以来，加州已经损失了一半的大树，文章分析了引起该现象的几个主要因素。全文围绕“加州森林的大树都去哪儿了”话题展开，故选项A。
D
As Connie took the plates away, I noticed a stack of newspapers that had obviously been read before I got there.
“You bother keeping up with the news?” I asked.
“Yes,” Morrie said. “Do you think that’s strange? Do you think because I’m dying, I shouldn’t care what happens in this world?”
Maybe.
He sighed. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe I shouldn’t care. After all, I won’t be around to see how it all tums out. But it’s hard to explain, Mitch. Now that I’m suffering, I feel closer to people who suffer than I ever did before. The other night, on TV, I saw people in Bosnia running across the street, getting fired upon, killed, innocent victims…and I just started to cry. I feel their anguish as if it were my own. I don’t know any of these people. But—how can I put this?—I’m almost…drawn to them.”
His eyes got moist, and I tried to change the subject, but he dabbed his face and waved me off.
“I cry all the time now,” he said. “Never mind.”
“Amazing,” I thought. I worked in the news business. I covered stories where people died. I interviewed sad family members. I even attended the funerals. I never cried. Morrie, for the suffering of people half a world away, was shedding tears. “Is this what comes at the end?” I wondered. Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers cry for one another.
Morrie honked loudly into the tissue. “This is okay with you, isn’t it? Men crying?”
“Sure,” I said, too quickly.
He grinned. “Ah, Mitch, I’m gonna loosen you up. One day, I’m gonna show you it’s okay to cry.”
“Yeah, yeah,” I said.
“Yeah, yeah,” he said.
We laughed because he used to say the same thing nearly twenty years earlier. Mostly on Tuesdays. In fact, Tuesday had always been our day together. Most of my courses with Morrie were on Tuesdays. He had office hours on Tuesdays, and when I wrote my senior thesis(论文)which was pretty much Morrie’s suggestion, right from the start—it was on Tuesdays that we sat together, by his desk, or in the cafeteria, or on the steps of Pearlman Hall, going over the work.
So it seemed only fitting that we were back together on a Tuesday, here in the house with the Japanese maple out front. As I readied to go, I mentioned this to Morrie.
“We’re Tuesday people,” he said.
“Tuesday people,” I repeated.
Morrie smiled.
“Mitch, you asked about caring for people I don’t even know. But can I tell you the thing I’m learning most with this disease?”
“What’s that?”
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” His voice dropped to a whisper. “Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love; we think if we let it in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, ‘Love is the only rational(理性的)act.”
He repeated it carefully, pausing for effect. “Love is the only rational act.”
I nodded, like a good student, and he exhaled weakly. I leaned over to give him a hug. And then, although it is not really like me, I kissed him on the cheek. I felt his weakened hands on my arms, the thin stubble of his whiskers brushing my face.
“So you will come back next Tuesday?” he whispered.
12. What kind of person do you think Morrie is?
A. Kind and sensitive. B. Sensitive and energetic.
C. devoted and stubborn. D. Depressed and stubborn.
13. What relationship do you suppose Morrie and Mitch share?
A. Neighbours. B. Colleagues. C. Teacher and student. D. Father and son.
14. Which of the following details shows that Mitch has been influenced by Morrie?
A. I leaned over to give him a hug. B. I nodded, like a good student.
C. I kissed him on the cheek. D. “Sure,” I said, too quickly
15. What is the author likely to write about next?
A. More about Mitch’s school life. B. More Tuesday with Morrie.
C. More reports about dying people. D. More about the cause of Morrie’s disease.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过莫里和米奇的对话来表现莫里是一个敏感、善良的人。他自己得了重病，所以更能体会其他人的痛苦。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“Do you think that's strange? Do you think because I'm dying, I shouldn't care what happens in this world? (你认为那很奇怪吗？你认为因为我快要死了，所以不该关心世上发生的事？)”和第五段的“The other night, on TV, I saw people in Bosnia running across the street, getting fired upon, killed, innocent victims . . . and I just started to cry. I feel their anguish as if it were my own. (前两天的夜里，当我在电视上看到一些人在波斯尼亚的街道上跑，被火烧，枪杀，无辜的受害者…我就开始哭泣，我感受到他们的痛苦就像我自己的痛苦)”可知，Morrie是一个敏感但善良的人。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第十三段的“Most of my courses with Morrie were on Tuesdays, (我和莫里的大多数课程在周二)”可推测，Morrie 和 Mitch之间很有可能是师生关系。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“And then, although it is not really like me, I kissed him on the cheek. (然后，虽然它不像我，我吻了他的脸颊)”可推测，作者米奇受到了莫里的影响，所以他会亲吻他。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句““So you will come back next Tuesday?” he whispered.(“那么你会在下星期二回来吗？””他低声说。)”可知，接下来会介绍更多和Morrie一起的星期二时光。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Being a teenager can be tough. “Troubled” and “rebellious (叛逆的)” are often labels that people give kids in their teens. There are even scientific theories explaining that the likelihood of teenagers taking risks is due to the fact that their brains aren’t fully developed yet. ____16____
But a new study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University may have finally cleared up this misunderstanding. ____17____ They simply are easily attracted by new things and are eager to explore the world.
The adolescents lack experience. ____18____ This personality trait (特征) is called “sensation seeking”, which is shared by a lot of people and usually peaks during adolescence.
Instead of being something to worry about sensation seeking is actually necessary, since the process of learning usually goes hand in hand with taking risks. “Teenagers need to build experience so that they can do a better job in making the difficult and risky decisions in later life. ‘Should I take this job?’ or ‘____19____’” said Valerie Reyna, co-author of the study.
“ ____20____ . If they don’t make a mistake in their teenage years, they will have no life experience when they turn 18 and step out of their parents’ protection and into a world that’s unknown to them. Kids need the freedom to test out boundaries while still in a safe environment,” wrote Ann Robinson, editor of The Guardian.
A. What can parents do to help the kids?
B. There’s something more frightening than taking a risk.
C. In other words, they just can’t help it.
D. Should I marry this person?
E. It turns out that teenagers are fine.
F. Adolescents should do as follows.
G. Therefore, they keep trying things out for the first time in their life.
【答案】16. C 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出“麻烦”和“叛逆”通常是人们给青少年孩子的标签，但新的研究表明这是正常现象，青少年时期犯的错误对他们的成长有益。
【16题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文。上文“There are even scientific theories explaining that the likelihood of teenagers taking risks is due to the fact that their brains aren’t fully developed yet.(甚至有科学理论解释说，青少年外表叛逆内心却极不自信是由于他们的大脑还没有发育完全)”提出青少年的叛逆和不自信是大脑发育滞后的表现，C项“In other words, they just can’t help it.(换句话说，对此他们也无能无力)”承接上文，说明这不他们能控制的，句中“it”指代上文中“their brains aren’t fully developed yet”，上下文语意连贯。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“But a new study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University may have finally cleared up this misunderstanding.(但宾夕法尼亚大学和康奈尔大学的研究人员的一项新研究可能最终澄清了这个误解)”中“cleared up this misunderstanding”可知，新的研究证明前文所说“‘麻烦’和‘叛逆’十几岁的孩子的标签”是一种误解，E项“It turns out that teenagers are fine.(事实证明，青少年很好)”给出新的观点：青少年很好，没问题。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“The adolescents lack experience.(青少年缺乏经验)”和下文“This personality trait (特征) is called “sensation seeking”, which is shared by a lot of people and usually peaks during adolescence.(这种性格特征被称为“感觉寻求”，这是许多人的共同点，通常在青春期达到顶峰)”可知，G项“Therefore, they keep trying things out for the first time in their life.(因此，他们在生活中第一次不断尝试)”切题。该项中的“keep trying things out”与上文中的“lack experience”相吻合，下文的“This personality trait”指的就是“青少年在生活中不断尝试”的性格特点。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Should I take this job? (我应该选择这份工作吗？)”和“Or”可知，空处也应该是一个疑问句，句式和上文保持一致，D项“Should I marry this person?(我应该嫁（娶）这个人吗？)”切题。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据下文“If they don’t make a mistake in their teenage years, they will have no life experience when they tum 18 and step out of their parents’ protection and into a world that’s unknown to them.(如果他们在青少年时期没有犯错误，他们在18岁，走出父母的保护，进入一个他们不知道的世界的时候就没有生活经验)”和上一段提到的各种冒险可知，空处指出还有比冒险更可怕的事情。B项“There’s something more frightening than taking a risk.(有比冒险更可怕的事情)”切题。该项中的“something more frightening”指的就是下文内容。故选B。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分)

My father and I disagreed about curfew (晚间回家的时间). He’d say I was to be in by 9：30 on weekdays, and 11：00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. I told him it made me ____21____ like a junior-high kid. He explained that ____22____ a curfew might sound like a restriction (限制), it’s really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that pretty heated ____23____ , my dad and I had tickets to see our town’s professional football game. On that day he was ____24____ to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and ____25____ me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be ____26____ .
To make sure we could move off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he’d be home, I understood that he was a little late. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting ____27____. We were going to miss the kick-off! And why hadn’t he ____28____ me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously paced the floor, another half hour passed. That’s when I got really angry. How ____29____ of my father! Now we were going to miss the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to _____30_____ . What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really worry. I’d already called his cellphone about ten times, but no answer.
I was beside myself assuming the worst had happened.
Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said _____31_____, “Son, I’m so sorry about the game, but...there was a terrible accident...on the freeway coming home, and I _____32_____ to help…and _____33_____ going to the hospital. I left my cellphone in the car, so I couldn’t call until now.”
I was so _____34_____ to hear from my father and to learn that he was safe that I actually cried. That was when I got the importance of a curfew: Checking in! It’s about knowing that someone you love is _____35_____ . It was one more proof of my father’s loving me as much as he does.

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：在大约65岁的时候，大多数加州人停止全职工作，开始从社会保障、医疗保险和他们多年的储蓄中受益。此处作介词from的宾语，所以用名词，security“保障”表示抽象概念，为不可数名词，故填security。
【37题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：退休的决定通常很快就会带来一系列生活方式的改变，因为退休人员会利用他们新近获得的自由和积累的经济实力。根据Usually可知，句子是一般现在时，且由句意及空后的“by a series of lifestyle changes”可知，主语decision和动词follow之间是被动关系，故此处用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是名词单数，be动词用is。故填is followed。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。take advantage of利用，为固定搭配，故填of。
【39题详解】

【42题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：有远见的家乡中介公司将为移民做准备，为那些搬到当地的人提供安置服务。offer和逻辑主语Farsighted hometown brokers之间是主谓关系，所以用现在分词作状语，故填offering。
【43题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：美国人口普查局报告称，50%的老年人选择搬到同一个社区的新住所。same前面加定冠词，固定用法，故填the。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：他们需要利用这个机会，在他们与合作经纪人建立了联系对退休人员友好的社区推荐新的住宅，并从这些重新安置的介绍费分成中获利。结合句意可知，此处表示目的，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to suggest。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。空处引导定语从句，先行词为communities，关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where，故填where。

【答案】 ①. It’s equally important to always look on the bright side. ②. Eventually, you’ll find yourself growing into a well-rounded individual.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型，动词短语和一般将来时。句意：同样重要的是，你要一直看到事情好的一面，即使在困难的情况下，也绝不放弃希望。最终，你会发现自己逐渐成长为一个全面发展的个体。根据汉语提示，表示“同等重要的做某事”用it is equally important to do sth，此处it为形式主语，真正的主语是to do不定式；表示“看到事情好的一面”用look on the bright side。同时，句子表述的是客观事实，故使用一般现在时。同时，表示“最终地”用eventually；表示“发现自己做某事”用find oneself doing sth；表示“成长为”用grow into；表示“一个全面发展的个体”用a well-rounded individual。此处表示将要发生的动作，故使用一般将来时。故第一空应填It’s equally important to always look on the bright side；第二空填Eventually, you’ll find yourself growing into a well-rounded individual。

【答案】Do your once warm, honest conversations become cold and cautious? Do you feel like you can’t agree with them on anything anymore?
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词、时态和一般疑问句。句意：你和父母的每次晚餐都变成了一场战争吗？你们曾经暖心、坦诚的对话是否已变得冷漠且谨慎？你是否觉得你已经无法在任何事情上与他们达成一致？“你们曾经暖心、坦诚的对话是否已变得冷漠且谨慎?”是一般疑问句，主语“曾经暖心、坦诚的对话”用your once warm, honest conversations表示，“变得”是系动词，用become表示，“冷漠且谨慎”作表语，用cold and cautious表示，将助动词do置于句首构成一般疑问句；“你们曾经暖心、坦诚的对话是否已变得冷漠且谨慎?”中“你”是主语，用you表示，“觉得”是谓语，用短语短语feel like表示，“你已经无法在任何事情上与他们达成一致”作宾语从句，译为you can’t agree with them on anything anymore，将助动词do置于句首构成一般疑问句。故填Do your once warm, honest conversations become cold and cautious?
