Three Fingers of Patience
Once there was a farmer with his wife and children living a happy life by earning from their own land in a village. The family planted the crops in spring, and harvested the crops in autumn. The only issue(问题) faced by the farmer was a lack of water for the fields. After discussing with his family, the farmer decided to dig a well near his land.
After managing to get all the materials prepared, he went to visit an expert to ask for advice on where he should dig one. Under the guidance, he started the project at the edge of the land with great expectation. He worked very hard to dig day and night. But his hard work was not rewarded. The whole family advised him not to lose hope. He didn’t want to disappoint anyone, especially himself, and began his project again. Another two days went by, and there was not a single drop of water coming from the well. He was completely tired, lost patience and went home thinking that everything was a waste of time. In case passers-by fell into the hole by mistake, he put a piece of wood which was the size of five fingers long near the unfinished well.
One night, a villager walked beside the well and hit his leg on that wood by mistake. This man became so annoyed that with all his frustration and anger he lifted the piece of wood, and with full energy threw the wood inside the well. The moment the man threw the wood, it went and hard hit the ground nearly three fingers deep.
Water sprang up(涌出) from the well as soon as the wood was hit down and rose to a certain level. When the farmer heard about this, he rushed to his well. Seeing water rising up from the well, he was too choked with emotion to speak. His eyes filled with tears as his hard work eventually paid off. He knew if he had a little more patience he would have succeeded earlier. He was delighted that it helped him realize one requires more patience in any task being accomplished.
24. What problem did the farmer face?
A. His fields were not enough. B. His fields were short of water.
C. He couldn’t get help from his wife. D. He couldn’t make money from fields.
25. Why did the farmer put a piece of wood near the unfinished well?
A. To ask for help from passers-by. B. To measure the depth of the well.
C. To test the water source of the well. D. To remind passers-by of possible danger.
26. Finally, the farmer realized that ________.
A. the villager fell into the hole B. the expert’s guidance was wrong
C. he needed more patience D. his family’s supports were useless
C
How Music Changes Your Life
There was an amazing video I watched online the other day about a man playing the piano in the middle of the airport. And without a single ounce of communication, another guy randomly sat next to him and started playing along. Why would a person want to get involved in music? Here are four reasons.
Music helps you gain friends.
It didn’t matter who the people were, where they belonged to, or what their appearances were, the music that was being played had united them all. Even musicians who barely know one another have situations where they get together through music.
Music helps you find out who you are and what you’re meant to do.
Because I didn’t have much support in school, I often felt rather lonely. Without music to stir my thoughts and dig deep into my emotions, discovering what my passions were would have been nearly impossible. But after beginning my life as a musician it suddenly made life clearer. My decisions and thoughts became easier to understand and who I was began standing out. You see, when you play an instrument for a given time period, you stop questioning what keys you have to stroke next. Your fingers and hands are guided by your emotions and natural instincts.
Music has the uncanny ability to heal(治愈) you.
A key note I’ve taken while either playing an instrument or listening to others play theirs is that the melodies and beats are what help regulate your heart rate. This is why listening to classical or soft music can lower people’s anxieties and calm their nerves. Your brain responds to music by releasing the chemical dopamine(多巴胺), which is associated with(与……有关系) pleasure and relief. That is why music is repeatedly used to remedy negative emotions.
________
If you’re in a foreign country and you don’t know their native language very well get a musical instrument and start busking(街头卖艺) on the street corner. Play something that will provide a soundtrack for a lazy Sunday in the park, and you just might find a friend or two who might help you out. Music has penetrated(渗入) everyone’s lives throughout history in every part of the world. Whether you live in the United States, Europe, Asia or Africa, music has shaped societies and histories.
27. What’s the writer of this passage?
A. A scientist. B. A teacher. C. A doctor. D. A musician.
28. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. add B. improve C. create D. avoid
29. Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 5?
A. Music connects us all.
B. Music helps you learn native language.
C. Music makes us happier on the street corner.
D. Music provides a soundtrack for a lazy Sunday.
D
Do you know the proverb “no pains, no gains”? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious(恶性的) cycle that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling(增加) further annoyance.
Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(分心). It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score game rather than productive revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.
B. Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.
C. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.
D. Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.
31. According to Paragraph 3, the writer probably agrees that ________.
A. one should learn from certain activities that interest us
B. playing video games is helpful for an effective study
C. one shouldn’t study with the company of a video player
D. the more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get
32. In the writer’s opinion, if you study in a noisy environment, you should ________.
A. spend no time socializing B. give up others’ company at once
C. give signs of not wanting to be interrupted D. force yourself to be used to the environment
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce an effective studying means. B. To encourage us to work as hard as possible.
C. To remind us to balance activities and study. D. To discuss the importance of family company.

The Sport of Concentration
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and simply record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, without something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad following key workouts (锻炼), I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were to be asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.
34. When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets?
________________
35. Why was the writer shocked?
________________
36. What’s another positive thing without any running gadgets?
________________
37. What does the writer learn from the example of running?
________________
38. What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so?

Three Fingers of Patience
Once there was a farmer with his wife and children living a happy life by earning from their own land in a village. The family planted the crops in spring, and harvested the crops in autumn. The only issue(问题) faced by the farmer was a lack of water for the fields. After discussing with his family, the farmer decided to dig a well near his land.
After managing to get all the materials prepared, he went to visit an expert to ask for advice on where he should dig one. Under the guidance, he started the project at the edge of the land with great expectation. He worked very hard to dig day and night. But his hard work was not rewarded. The whole family advised him not to lose hope. He didn’t want to disappoint anyone, especially himself, and began his project again. Another two days went by, and there was not a single drop of water coming from the well. He was completely tired, lost patience and went home thinking that everything was a waste of time. In case passers-by fell into the hole by mistake, he put a piece of wood which was the size of five fingers long near the unfinished well.
One night, a villager walked beside the well and hit his leg on that wood by mistake. This man became so annoyed that with all his frustration and anger he lifted the piece of wood, and with full energy threw the wood inside the well. The moment the man threw the wood, it went and hard hit the ground nearly three fingers deep.
Water sprang up(涌出) from the well as soon as the wood was hit down and rose to a certain level. When the farmer heard about this, he rushed to his well. Seeing water rising up from the well, he was too choked with emotion to speak. His eyes filled with tears as his hard work eventually paid off. He knew if he had a little more patience he would have succeeded earlier. He was delighted that it helped him realize one requires more patience in any task being accomplished.
24. What problem did the farmer face?
A. His fields were not enough. B. His fields were short of water.
C. He couldn’t get help from his wife. D. He couldn’t make money from fields.
25. Why did the farmer put a piece of wood near the unfinished well?
A. To ask for help from passers-by. B. To measure the depth of the well.
C. To test the water source of the well. D. To remind passers-by of possible danger.
26. Finally, the farmer realized that ________.
A. the villager fell into the hole B. the expert’s guidance was wrong
C. he needed more patience D. his family’s supports were useless
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C

How Music Changes Your Life
There was an amazing video I watched online the other day about a man playing the piano in the middle of the airport. And without a single ounce of communication, another guy randomly sat next to him and started playing along. Why would a person want to get involved in music? Here are four reasons.
Music helps you gain friends.
It didn’t matter who the people were, where they belonged to, or what their appearances were, the music that was being played had united them all. Even musicians who barely know one another have situations where they get together through music.
Music helps you find out who you are and what you’re meant to do.
Because I didn’t have much support in school, I often felt rather lonely. Without music to stir my thoughts and dig deep into my emotions, discovering what my passions were would have been nearly impossible. But after beginning my life as a musician it suddenly made life clearer. My decisions and thoughts became easier to understand and who I was began standing out. You see, when you play an instrument for a given time period, you stop questioning what keys you have to stroke next. Your fingers and hands are guided by your emotions and natural instincts.
Music has the uncanny ability to heal(治愈) you.
A key note I’ve taken while either playing an instrument or listening to others play theirs is that the melodies and beats are what help regulate your heart rate. This is why listening to classical or soft music can lower people’s anxieties and calm their nerves. Your brain responds to music by releasing the chemical dopamine(多巴胺), which is associated with(与……有关系) pleasure and relief. That is why music is repeatedly used to remedy negative emotions.
________
If you’re in a foreign country and you don’t know their native language very well, get a musical instrument and start busking(街头卖艺) on the street corner. Play something that will provide a soundtrack for a lazy Sunday in the park, and you just might find a friend or two who might help you out. Music has penetrated(渗入) everyone’s lives throughout history in every part of the world. Whether you live in the United States, Europe, Asia or Africa, music has shaped societies and histories.
27. What’s the writer of this passage?
A. A scientist. B. A teacher. C. A doctor. D. A musician.
28. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. add B. improve C. create D. avoid
29. Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 5?
A. Music connects us all.
B. Music helps you learn native language.
C. Music makes us happier on the street corner.
D. Music provides a soundtrack for a lazy Sunday.
【答案】27. D 28. B 29. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了人们会被音乐吸引的四大原因。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“But after beginning my life as a musician it suddenly made life clearer.”可知，作者是一名音乐家。故选D。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Music has the uncanny ability to heal(治愈) you.”可知，音乐有神奇的治愈能力，结合“That is why music is repeatedly used to remedy negative emotions.”可知，音乐被用来改善消极情绪，划线单词与“improve”同义。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Music has penetrated(渗入) everyone’s lives throughout history in every part of the world. Whether you live in the United States, Europe, Asia or Africa, music has shaped societies and histories.”可知，本段主要讲的是音乐与每个人的联系，A项“音乐连接着我们所有人”最适合作为标题。故选A。
D
Do you know the proverb “no pains, no gains”? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious(恶性的) cycle that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling(增加) further annoyance.
Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(分心). It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score game rather than productive revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.
B. Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.
C. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.
D. Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.
31. According to Paragraph 3, the writer probably agrees that ________.
A. one should learn from certain activities that interest us
B. playing video games is helpful for an effective study
C. one shouldn’t study with the company of a video player
D. the more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get
32. In the writer’s opinion, if you study in a noisy environment, you should ________.
A. spend no time socializing B. give up others’ company at once
C. give signs of not wanting to be interrupted D. force yourself to be used to the environment
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce an effective studying means. B. To encourage us to work as hard as possible.
C. To remind us to balance activities and study. D. To discuss the importance of family company.
【答案】30. B 31. C 32. C 33. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章对习语“no pains, no gains”提出质疑，并认为积极的话语和积极的行为会给人们带来积极的影响，从而产生良好的学习效果。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off.”可知，就像孩子们从玩耍中学习一样，我们也可以从实践中学习，或者至少从我们感兴趣的学习技巧中学习，而不是让我们停止学习。由此推知让我们感兴趣的方法可以导致有效的复习，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score game rather than productive revision.”可知，坐在玩电子游戏的人旁边工作时，最有可能以一个新的高分游戏而不是富有成效的复习结束。所以作者不建议在游戏等令人分心的事情的陪伴下学习，故选C。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you.”可知，如果和其他人在一起意味着在嘈杂的环境中工作，一副耳机和一些背景音乐可以屏蔽噪音。 它们也起到了心理障碍的作用，所以人们在打断你之前会三思。所以在作者看来，如果你在一个嘈杂的环境中学习，你应该表现出不希望被打扰的迹象，故选C。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。本文对习语“no pains, no gains”提出质疑，并认为积极的话语和积极的行为会给人们带来积极的影响，从而产生良好的学习效果。选项A“介绍一种有效的学习手段”符合主题，故选A。

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
The Sport of Concentration
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and simply record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, without something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad following key workouts (锻炼), I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were to be asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.
34. When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets?
________________
35. Why was the writer shocked?
________________
36. What’s another positive thing without any running gadgets?
________________
37. What does the writer learn from the example of running?
________________
38. What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so?
________________
【答案】34. A few months ago.
35. Because the writer/she/he had some real breakthroughs, running much faster.
36. It’s helping the writer/her/him concentrate more on the running itself.
37. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
38. One possible key: I agree with the writer. I think they’re not necessary for me. Because I don’t need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
Another possible key: I think they are helpful for me. Because I can know the data from sports gadgets and improve my performance from time to time.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要是作者结合自己跑步的经历告诉我们，与其依赖那些计数设备来记录跑步的情况，不如专心地跑步，因为让自己在某件事上做得更好的时间越多，我们的表现就越受影响。
【34题详解】
根据“I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago”可知，几个月前，决定卖掉我所有的运动设备，故填A few months ago.
【35题详解】
根据“I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could”可知，作者很震惊地发现有了一些真正的突破，跑得比想象的要快得多，故填Because the writer/she/he had some real breakthroughs, running much faster.
【36题详解】
根据“Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself”可知，另一个摆脱所有跑步设备的好处是，它帮助作者更专注于跑步本身，故填It’s helping the writer/her/him concentrate more on the running itself.
【37题详解】
根据“No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.”可知，这让作者明白无论如何，我们花在如何让自己在某件事上做得更好的时间越多，我们的表现就越受影响，故填No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
【38题详解】
开放性题，答案合理即可，参考答案为：One possible key: I agree with the writer. I think they’re not necessary for me. Because I don’t need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
Another possible key: I think they are helpful for me. Because I can know the data from sports gadgets and improve my performance from time to time.

【答案】例文:
Going Green Starts with Small Things
Everyone can make small changes in lifestyle and make a difference to reduce pollution and waste. In my daily life, I usually take a bus instead of taking a car, which promotes a low-carbon life. In order to save electricity, I always turn off the lights immediately when I leave the house and the classroom. Besides, I always do my best to save water and food in daily life, such as reusing the rice water to water the flowers.
As we all know, the electricity, water and food are all important and necessary resources for us to live. What’s more, they are limited, so we do have the responsibility to save them.
I’m very happy and proud that more and more people join me to make our environment better. Going green starts with small things. Let’s take actions from now on.

Three Fingers of Patience
Once there was a farmer with his wife and children living a happy life by earning from their own land in a village. The family planted the crops in spring, and harvested the crops in autumn. The only issue(问题) faced by the farmer was a lack of water for the fields. After discussing with his family, the farmer decided to dig a well near his land.
After managing to get all the materials prepared, he went to visit an expert to ask for advice on where he should dig one. Under the guidance, he started the project at the edge of the land with great expectation. He worked very hard to dig day and night. But his hard work was not rewarded. The whole family advised him not to lose hope. He didn’t want to disappoint anyone, especially himself, and began his project again. Another two days went by, and there was not a single drop of water coming from the well. He was completely tired, lost patience and went home thinking that everything was a waste of time. In case passers-by fell into the hole by mistake, he put a piece of wood which was the size of five fingers long near the unfinished well.
One night, a villager walked beside the well and hit his leg on that wood by mistake. This man became so annoyed that with all his frustration and anger he lifted the piece of wood, and with full energy threw the wood inside the well. The moment the man threw the wood, it went and hard hit the ground nearly three fingers deep.
Water sprang up(涌出) from the well as soon as the wood was hit down and rose to a certain level. When the farmer heard about this, he rushed to his well. Seeing water rising up from the well, he was too choked with emotion to speak. His eyes filled with tears as his hard work eventually paid off. He knew if he had a little more patience he would have succeeded earlier. He was delighted that it helped him realize one requires more patience in any task being accomplished.
24. What problem did the farmer face?
A. His fields were not enough. B. His fields were short of water.
C. He couldn’t get help from his wife. D. He couldn’t make money from fields.

A. To ask for help from passers-by. B. To measure the depth of the well.
C. To test the water source of the well. D. To remind passers-by of possible danger.
26. Finally, the farmer realized that ________.
A. the villager fell into the hole B. the expert’s guidance was wrong
C. he needed more patience D. his family’s supports were useless

How Music Changes Your Life
There was an amazing video I watched online the other day about a man playing the piano in the middle of the airport. And without a single ounce of communication, another guy randomly sat next to him and started playing along. Why would a person want to get involved in music? Here are four reasons.
Music helps you gain friends.
It didn’t matter who the people were, where they belonged to, or what their appearances were, the music that was being played had united them all. Even musicians who barely know one another have situations where they get together through music.
Music helps you find out who you are and what you’re meant to do.
Because I didn’t have much support in school, I often felt rather lonely. Without music to stir my thoughts and dig deep into my emotions, discovering what my passions were would have been nearly impossible. But after beginning my life as a musician it suddenly made life clearer. My decisions and thoughts became easier to understand and who I was began standing out. You see, when you play an instrument for a given time period, you stop questioning what keys you have to stroke next. Your fingers and hands are guided by your emotions and natural instincts.
Music has the uncanny ability to heal(治愈) you.
A key note I’ve taken while either playing an instrument or listening to others play theirs is that the melodies and beats are what help regulate your heart rate. This is why listening to classical or soft music can lower people’s anxieties and calm their nerves. Your brain responds to music by releasing the chemical dopamine(多巴胺), which is associated with(与……有关系) pleasure and relief. That is why music is repeatedly used to remedy negative emotions.
________
If you’re in a foreign country and you don’t know their native language very well get a musical instrument and start busking(街头卖艺) on the street corner. Play something that will provide a soundtrack for a lazy Sunday in the park, and you just might find a friend or two who might help you out. Music has penetrated(渗入) everyone’s lives throughout history in every part of the world. Whether you live in the United States, Europe, Asia or Africa, music has shaped societies and histories.
27. What’s the writer of this passage?
A. A scientist. B. A teacher. C. A doctor. D. A musician.
28. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. add B. improve C. create D. avoid
29. Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 5?
A. Music connects us all.
B. Music helps you learn native language.
C. Music makes us happier on the street corner.
D. Music provides a soundtrack for a lazy Sunday.
D
Do you know the proverb “no pains, no gains”? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious(恶性的) cycle that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling(增加) further annoyance.
Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(分心). It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score game rather than productive revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.
B. Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.
C. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.
D. Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.
31. According to Paragraph 3, the writer probably agrees that ________.
A. one should learn from certain activities that interest us
B. playing video games is helpful for an effective study
C. one shouldn’t study with the company of a video player
D. the more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get
32. In the writer’s opinion, if you study in a noisy environment, you should ________.
A. spend no time socializing B. give up others’ company at once
C. give signs of not wanting to be interrupted D. force yourself to be used to the environment
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce an effective studying means. B. To encourage us to work as hard as possible.
C. To remind us to balance activities and study. D. To discuss the importance of family company.

The Sport of Concentration
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and simply record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, without something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad following key workouts (锻炼), I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were to be asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.
34. When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets?
________________
35. Why was the writer shocked?
________________
36. What’s another positive thing without any running gadgets?
________________
37. What does the writer learn from the example of running?
________________
38. What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so?

There was an amazing video I watched online the other day about a man playing the piano in the middle of the airport. And without a single ounce of communication, another guy randomly sat next to him and started playing along. Why would a person want to get involved in music? Here are four reasons.
Music helps you gain friends.
It didn’t matter who the people were, where they belonged to, or what their appearances were, the music that was being played had united them all. Even musicians who barely know one another have situations where they get together through music.
Music helps you find out who you are and what you’re meant to do.
Because I didn’t have much support in school, I often felt rather lonely. Without music to stir my thoughts and dig deep into my emotions, discovering what my passions were would have been nearly impossible. But after beginning my life as a musician it suddenly made life clearer. My decisions and thoughts became easier to understand and who I was began standing out. You see, when you play an instrument for a given time period, you stop questioning what keys you have to stroke next. Your fingers and hands are guided by your emotions and natural instincts.
Music has the uncanny ability to heal(治愈) you.
A key note I’ve taken while either playing an instrument or listening to others play theirs is that the melodies and beats are what help regulate your heart rate. This is why listening to classical or soft music can lower people’s anxieties and calm their nerves. Your brain responds to music by releasing the chemical dopamine(多巴胺), which is associated with(与……有关系) pleasure and relief. That is why music is repeatedly used to remedy negative emotions.
________
If you’re in a foreign country and you don’t know their native language very well, get a musical instrument and start busking(街头卖艺) on the street corner. Play something that will provide a soundtrack for a lazy Sunday in the park, and you just might find a friend or two who might help you out. Music has penetrated(渗入) everyone’s lives throughout history in every part of the world. Whether you live in the United States, Europe, Asia or Africa, music has shaped societies and histories.
27. What’s the writer of this passage?
A. A scientist. B. A teacher. C. A doctor. D. A musician.
28. The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. add B. improve C. create D. avoid
29. Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 5?
A. Music connects us all.
B. Music helps you learn native language.
C. Music makes us happier on the street corner.
D. Music provides a soundtrack for a lazy Sunday.

D
Do you know the proverb “no pains, no gains”? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious(恶性的) cycle that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling(增加) further annoyance.
Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(分心). It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score game rather than productive revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.
B. Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.
C. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.
D. Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.
31. According to Paragraph 3, the writer probably agrees that ________.
A. one should learn from certain activities that interest us
B. playing video games is helpful for an effective study
C. one shouldn’t study with the company of a video player
D. the more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get
32. In the writer’s opinion, if you study in a noisy environment, you should ________.
A. spend no time socializing B. give up others’ company at once
C. give signs of not wanting to be interrupted D. force yourself to be used to the environment
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce an effective studying means. B. To encourage us to work as hard as possible.
C. To remind us to balance activities and study. D. To discuss the importance of family company.
【答案】30. B 31. C 32. C 33. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章对习语“no pains, no gains”提出质疑，并认为积极的话语和积极的行为会给人们带来积极的影响，从而产生良好的学习效果。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off.”可知，就像孩子们从玩耍中学习一样，我们也可以从实践中学习，或者至少从我们感兴趣的学习技巧中学习，而不是让我们停止学习。由此推知让我们感兴趣的方法可以导致有效的复习，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score game rather than productive revision.”可知，坐在玩电子游戏的人旁边工作时，最有可能以一个新的高分游戏而不是富有成效的复习结束。所以作者不建议在游戏等令人分心的事情的陪伴下学习，故选C。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you.”可知，如果和其他人在一起意味着在嘈杂的环境中工作，一副耳机和一些背景音乐可以屏蔽噪音。 它们也起到了心理障碍的作用，所以人们在打断你之前会三思。所以在作者看来，如果你在一个嘈杂的环境中学习，你应该表现出不希望被打扰的迹象，故选C。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。本文对习语“no pains, no gains”提出质疑，并认为积极的话语和积极的行为会给人们带来积极的影响，从而产生良好的学习效果。选项A“介绍一种有效的学习手段”符合主题，故选A。

The Sport of Concentration
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It will make me a “better me,” or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and simply record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, without something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great pleasure.
In the past, whenever I was running slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad following key workouts (锻炼), I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were to be asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.
34. When did the writer decide to sell all of the sports gadgets?
________________
35. Why was the writer shocked?
________________
36. What’s another positive thing without any running gadgets?
________________
37. What does the writer learn from the example of running?
________________
38. What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so?
________________
【答案】34. A few months ago.
35. Because the writer/she/he had some real breakthroughs, running much faster.
36. It’s helping the writer/her/him concentrate more on the running itself.
37. No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
38. One possible key: I agree with the writer. I think they’re not necessary for me. Because I don’t need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
Another possible key: I think they are helpful for me. Because I can know the data from sports gadgets and improve my performance from time to time.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要是作者结合自己跑步的经历告诉我们，与其依赖那些计数设备来记录跑步的情况，不如专心地跑步，因为让自己在某件事上做得更好的时间越多，我们的表现就越受影响。
【34题详解】
根据“I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago”可知，几个月前，决定卖掉我所有的运动设备，故填A few months ago.
【35题详解】
根据“I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could”可知，作者很震惊地发现有了一些真正的突破，跑得比想象的要快得多，故填Because the writer/she/he had some real breakthroughs, running much faster.
【36题详解】
根据“Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate (集中注意力) more on the running itself”可知，另一个摆脱所有跑步设备的好处是，它帮助作者更专注于跑步本身，故填It’s helping the writer/her/him concentrate more on the running itself.
【37题详解】
根据“No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.”可知，这让作者明白无论如何，我们花在如何让自己在某件事上做得更好的时间越多，我们的表现就越受影响，故填No matter what it is the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our performance is affected.
【38题详解】
开放性题，答案合理即可，参考答案为：One possible key: I agree with the writer. I think they’re not necessary for me. Because I don’t need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether everything has enough battery power.
Another possible key: I think they are helpful for me. Because I can know the data from sports gadgets and improve my performance from time to time.

【答案】例文:
Going Green Starts with Small Things
Everyone can make small changes in lifestyle and make a difference to reduce pollution and waste. In my daily life, I usually take a bus instead of taking a car, which promotes a low-carbon life. In order to save electricity, I always turn off the lights immediately when I leave the house and the classroom. Besides, I always do my best to save water and food in daily life, such as reusing the rice water to water the flowers.
As we all know, the electricity, water and food are all important and necessary resources for us to live. What’s more, they are limited, so we do have the responsibility to save them.
I’m very happy and proud that more and more people join me to make our environment better. Going green starts with small things. Let’s take actions from now on.
