Metropolitan Museum of Art
Occupying two million square feet, with a permanent collection of over two million works of art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (founded in 1870) is one the largest galleries in the world.

Children will become more and more independent and will do what they would like to do. However, as parents, you ought to take care of your own children and have a better understanding of them in the following cases.
School work becomes increasingly difficult as children grow up. So this is a time when some kids begin to do better in their school work while others struggle to understand more advanced and more difficult lessons. When they get home, talk with them about their school lessons and find out what they don’t understand. It’s a chance for you to stay close with your children as before and get them to relax.
For many families, homework can be a serious struggle. Many school-age kids are reluctant to sit down and study for a spelling test or complete their math homework. It’s natural for them to be bored with their homework, but you have to think of ways to help them form the right habit to finish their homework when they get home.
Many kids are busy with sports, music, and after-school activities. Others, however, may prefer to spend too many hours on the screen. It’s important to keep kids active at this age.
Friends become a bigger deal for children during this time too. Attending birthday parties or playing with kids on the playground can be good for their development.
Bullying (恃强凌弱的行为) can become a problem around this age. It’s important to talk to your child about kindness and respect so he doesn’t become a bully and it’s also quite necessary for you to talk about what he can do if he becomes a target.

①What does it say about the future of meat when the country’s largest processor of chicken, pork, and beef buys a stake (股份) in a start-up that aims to “perfectly replace animal protein with plant protein”?
②Tyson Foods announced this week that it purchased a 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat, the Southern California-based food-tech start-up that made headlines earlier this year with its veggie burger that reportedly cooks and tastes like real beef.
③To be sure, Beyond Meat’s meatless creations have yet to take the country by storm. Although the 100 percent plant-based burgers have achieved plenty of positive press since they appeared for the first time in May, so far they’re only available at Whole Foods stores in seven states. Even though the company’s “chicken” strips, “beef” pies, and meatless frozen dinners are available nationwide, Beyond Meat is hardly a household name.
④That may be what makes the news of Tyson’s investment all the more noteworthy. While the two companies declined to give details about the deal, it’s doubtful that Tyson’s 5 percent stake made much of dent (凹陷) in the meat giant’s coffers (金库). The company posted $41.4 billion in sales last year; prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat had reportedly raised $64 million in project capital funding — about what Tyson earns before lunch on any given day.
⑤Tyson is doing pretty great. The company reported record third-quarter earnings per share in August and says that it expects overall meat production to increase 2 to 3 percent during the next financial year. But like a big oil company shelling out cash to invest in wind power, Tyson’s toe-in-the-water move to team up with a start-up devoted to bringing more plant-based protein to American dinner tables seems to suggest the meat industry is starting to see which way the winds are blowing.
⑥Sales of plant-based protein, which totaled an estimated $5 billion last year, continue to pale compared with the market for meat in America — but vegetarian alternatives to meat are booming, with sales growing at more than double the rate for food products overall. The steady drumbeat of news about the negative health impacts, environmental problems, and animal welfare concerns associated with meat consumption appears to be sinking in. According to a survey released in April, more than half of Americans surveyed said they plan to eat more plant-based foods in the coming year.
28．Beyond Meat’s veggie burger made headlines probably because ________.
A．it makes perfect use of animal protein
B．it uses high tech in the making process
C．it tastes as good as a genuine beef burger
D．it represents the diet trend in South California
29．Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the state of Beyond Meat?
A．It is the creator of the country’s first 100 percent plant-based burgers.
B．It has been well received as its products are available nationwide.
C．It is far from being a match to real food processing giants like Tyson.
D．It provides high-quality dining experience in selected Whole Foods stores.
30．What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A．The purchase of the stake barely costs a thing for Tyson.
B．The 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat means a lot to Tyson.
C．Tyson’s investment hasn’t caught the attention of the media as expected.
D．Tyson is relying on this investment to raise more project capital funding.
31．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Meat will still take over the market in spite of other alternatives.
B．A major American meat company is betting on plant-based protein.
C．Tyson and Beyond Meat work together to build a global meat giant.
D．Plants have been found to contain protein that does more good to human beings.
Back in 1964, in his book Games People Play, psychiatrist Eric Berne described a pattern of conversation he called “Why Don’t You — Yes But”, which remains one of the most annoying aspects of everyday social life. The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they complain about it endlessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that’s proposed. The reason, of course, is that on some level they don’t want a solution; they want to be validated (认可) in their position that the world is out to get them. If they can “win” the game — dismissing every suggestion until interlocutor (对话者) gives up in annoyance — they get to feel pleasurably righteous (正当的) in their anger and excused from any obligation to change.
Part of the trouble here is the so-called responsibility/fault fallacy (谬误). When you’re feeling hard done by — taken for granted by your partner, say, or obliged to work for a stupid boss — it’s easy to become attached to the position that it’s not your job to address the matter, and that doing so would be an admission of fault. But there’s a confusion here. For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn’t be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility. There would be choices to make, and no possibility of avoiding them, since trying to ignore the matter would be a choice. The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases: even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there’s nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as a justification to evade responsibility.
Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there’s a clever way to shut it down — which is to agree with it. Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb describes this as “over-validation”. For one thing, you’ll be spared further complaining, since the other person’s motivation was to confirm her beliefs, and now you’re confirming them. But for another, as Gottlieb notes, people confronted with over-validation often hear their complaints afresh and start arguing back. The concept that they’re utterly powerless suddenly seems unrealistic, not to mention rather annoying — so they’re prompted instead to generate ideas about how they might change things.
“And then, sometimes, something magical might happen, ” Gotlieb writes. The other person “might realize she’s not as trapped as you are saying she is, or as she feels. ” Avoiding responsibility feels comfortable, but turns out to be a prison; whereas assuming responsibility feels unpleasant, but ends up being freeing.
32．What is the characteristic of a chronic complainer, according to Eric Berne?
A．They are angry about their ill treatment and feel bitter towards whoever tries to help.
B．They are habitually unhappy and endlessly find fault with people around them.
C．They constantly dismiss others’ proposals while taking no responsibility for dealing with the problem.
D．They lack the basic skills required for successful conversations with others.
33．What does the author try to illustrate with the example of the newborn on one’s doorstep?
A．People tend to think that one should not be held responsible for others’ mistakes.
B．It is easy to become attached to the position of overlooking one’s own fault.
C．People are often at a loss when confronted with a number of choices.
D．A distinction should be drawn between responsibility and fault.
34．What does the author advise people to do to chronic complainers?
A．Stop them from going further by agreeing with them.
B．Listen to their complaints attentively and sympathetically.
C．Ask them to validate their beliefs with further evidence.
D．Persuade them to clarify the confusion they caused.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．What is the responsibility/fault fallacy for chronic complainers?
B．How can you avoid dangerous traps in everyday social life?
C．Who are chronic complainers and how to deal with them?
D．Why should we stop being a chronic complainer and assume responsibility?

Active listening is a valuable skill in which the listener makes a conscious effort to understand the speaker’s entire message. Below are five benefits of active listening and what they can do for you at work.
Active listening can help achieve understanding. The conflict resolution skills of different people vary. 36 Very often we only hear what we want to hear. However, being able to understand another point of view completely can avoid many potentially negative outcomes.
Active listening can resolve conflict. People involved in conflict often feel misunderstood. 37 If you aim to resolve conflicts at work, and encourage others to do the same, you must begin by listening to the opposing point of view objectively.
Active listening is an essential part of learning. 38 Active listening is a skill that allows you to acquire the knowledge which could lead your company into a better future.
39 Listening to the whole message means you’re engaging on a deeper level with the speaker. It allows you to absorb more precise details from the conversation itself. If you’re receiving instructions or training, you will be able to recall details more easily.
Active listening can help you become a good leader. As a leader, when you listen to what your followers have to say, you understand them better. 40 You’ll be able to work out with colleagues or employees about where improvements can be made for the benefit of all involved.
A．Active listening can help in dealing with emergencies.
B．In turn, your workplace communication skills will improve.
C．Leaders should always be open to exploring something new.

67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Billy was 15 years old then. He grew up in a very poor neighborhood. No one in his family had gone to college before. Actually, few people around him had received higher education. They all struggled to live a good life. Therefore, Billy knew nothing about colleges or scholarships and he never thought he would go to college one day. Although he was a smart boy, he didn’t study hard at school and often got into trouble with other teenagers in his neighborhood.
One day, while Billy was walking on the playground, a boy of his age started making fun of him. Then that boy pushed him hard and Billy fell onto the ground. Billy became so angry that he stood up and beat that boy. So a fight began.
It happened that Billy’s English teacher Mr. Smith was walking nearby. He immediately ran to the boys to stop the fight. Billy was a bit worried because he knew his teacher was very strict with students. He was afraid his teacher would punish him. However, to his astonishment, his teacher didn’t do that.
“Billy, let’s have a talk,” said his teacher.
Billy, not knowing what his teacher wanted to do, was very worried. But he nodded. So they went to a bench nearby and sat down. After they sat down, Mr. Smith began, “Billy, I know you’re a smart boy, but you’re wasting your life now. Why don’t you study hard to go to college so that you can change your life and have a bright future?”
Hearing that, Billy didn’t know what to say. He had never thought about it. Billy was in silence. Mr. Smith continued, “I know you may have never thought about going to college. But everything is possible. When I was at your age, I was a troublemaker just like you and never thought I’d be able to go to college, either. It was all because of the support and encouragement of Mr. Howard, my math teacher in high school.”

【原文】
M: Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States. Every year on Presidents’ Day, we honor him as one of the greatest presidents in our country’s history. Abe Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. At night, he liked to read by candlelight, but in the day he worked on his father’s farm. As an adult, he lived in Illinois and became a lawyer. He served in Congress where he spoke out against slavery. By the time Lincoln was elected to the president in 1860, the nation was horribly divided over the issue of slavery. Eleven southern states decided to “escape”from the United States. That meant they broke off to form their own nation, which then led to the American Civil War.President Lincoln fought to keep the U.S. together as one united country. In the “Gettysburg Address”, President Lincoln honored the thousands of soldiers who died on that battlefield. He called for the nation to come together so that the“government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth". After four long years, the American Civil War ended. Abraham Lincoln had kept the United States together in its most terrible crisis. Today, we remember him as a great leader who led his country out of its darkest hour.

So this is a time when some kids begin to do better in their school work while others struggle to understand more advanced and more difficult lessons. (随着孩子们的成长，学校作业变得越来越难。所以这个时候，一些孩子开始在学业上做得更好，而另一些孩子则在努力理解更高级、更难的课程。)”可知，随着学校的作业变得越来越难，学生在学业上也开始分裂了，有的学生会做得更好；而有的孩子则有点吃力。故选A。
25．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“It’s natural for them to be bored with their homework, but you have to think of ways to help them form the right habit to finish their homework when they get home. (他们对家庭作业感到厌倦是很自然的，但是你必须想办法帮助他们形成正确的习惯，当他们回家后完成家庭作业。)”可知，儿童对家庭感到厌倦很正常。由此推断，儿童并不愿意做作业。所以，划线单词和“不愿意”意思相近。选项A“Excited (兴奋的)”；选项B“Worried (担忧的)”；选项C“Unwilling (不乐意)”；选项D“Interested (感兴趣的)”。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Many kids are busy with sports, music, and after-school activities. Others, however, may prefer to spend too many hours on the screen. It’s important to keep kids active at this age. (许多孩子忙于运动、音乐和课外活动。然而，其他人可能更喜欢花太多时间在屏幕上。让孩子在这个年龄保持活跃是很重要的。)”可知，作者建议学生要在身体上保持活跃；而根据文章第五段“Friends become a bigger deal for children during this time too. Attending birthday parties or playing with kids on the playground can be good for their development. (在这段时间里，朋友对孩子来说也变得更重要了。参加生日聚会或和孩子们在操场上玩对他们的发展有好处。)”以及最后一段“It’s important to talk to your child about kindness and respect so he doesn’t become a bully and it’s also quite necessary for you to talk about what he can do if he becomes a target. (跟你的孩子谈论善良和尊重是很重要的，这样他就不会变成欺负人的人，你也很有必要告诉他，如果他成为欺负人的目标，他能做什么。)”可知，孩子应该在心理上也保持健康。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Children will become more and more independent and will do what they would like to do. However, as parents, you ought to take care of your own children and have a better understanding of them in the following cases. (孩子们会变得越来越独立，会做他们想做的事情。然而，作为父母，你应该照顾好自己的孩子，并在以下情况下对他们有更好的了解。)”可知，文章是写给父母看的，以帮助父母更好地照顾自己的孩子，帮助孩子。故选C。
28．C 29．C 30．A 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述美国最大的肉类加工商Tyson Foods加盟了一家叫做Beyond Meat的初创公司，Beyond Meat旨在用植物蛋白完美替代动物蛋白为大家生产无肉产品，以及这家公司产品目前的经营情况。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Tyson Foods announced this week that it purchased a 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat, the Southern California-based food-tech start-up that made headlines earlier this year with its veggie burger that reportedly cooks and tastes like real beef.(泰森食品公司本周宣布，它收购了Beyond Meat公司5%的股份。Beyond Meat是一家总部位于南加州的食品科技初创公司，今年早些时候，这家公司因其素食汉堡而登上头条，据报道，这款汉堡的烹饪和味道都像真正的牛肉)”可知，Beyond Meat的素食汉堡成为头条是因为这款汉堡的味道和真正的牛肉汉堡一样。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第四段“prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat had reportedly raised $64 million in project capital funding — about what Tyson earns before lunch on any given day.(据报道，在与泰森食品达成交易之前，Beyond Meat已经筹集了6400万美元的项目资本资金——这相当于泰森食品在任何一天午餐前的收入)”可知，Beyond Meat筹集的项目资金6400万美元仅仅是泰森食品一天午餐前的收入，由此可知Beyond Meat的规模远远不及Tyson Foods，即Beyond Meat不能与Beyond Foods相提并论。故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“it’s doubtful that Tyson’s 5 percent stake made much of dent in the meat giant’s coffers(但令人怀疑的是，泰森食品持有的5%股份是否为这家肉类巨头财务带来很大的财务空缺)”和“prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat had reportedly raised $64 million in project capital funding — about what Tyson earns before lunch on any given day.(据报道，在与泰森食品达成交易之前，Beyond Meat已经筹集了6400万美元的项目资本资金——这相当于泰森食品在任何一天午餐前的收入)”可知，Beyond Meat筹集的项目资金6400万美元仅仅是泰森食品一天午餐前的收入，可得出泰森食品持有的5%股份不会造成很大的财务亏空，即对于泰森食品公司来说，收购Beyond Meat并未花费很多钱。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“What does it say about the future of meat when the country’s largest processor of chicken, pork, and beef buys a stake (股份) in a start-up that aims to “perfectly replace animal protein with plant protein”?(当中国最大的鸡肉、猪肉和牛肉加工商入股一家旨在“用植物蛋白完美替代动物蛋白”的初创企业时，这说明了肉类的未来是什么)”可知，最大的肉类加工公司Tyson Foods入股生产无肉产品的初创企业Beyond Meat意味着Tyson要重点投资植物蛋白这种无肉产品。故选B。
32．C 33．D 34．A 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了长期抱怨者会不停地抱怨，但是从不负起责任解决问题，他们试图从对话者的恼怒中获得正义感，从而逃避改变的责任，这背后的原因部分在于他们混淆了责任和错误。对待长期抱怨者，我们需要的是同意他们的观点，促使他们自己产生改变的想法。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they complain about it endlessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that’s proposed.(采用这种策略的人通常是一个长期抱怨者。他们的关系、工作或其他情况有些糟糕，他们不停地抱怨，但却找借口拒绝任何提出的解决方案)”可知，长期的抱怨者会一直拒绝他人的解决方案，不停地抱怨却不负责解决问题。故选C项。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn’t be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility.(例如，如果我在家门口发现一个新生儿，这不是我的错，但肯定是我的责任)”和“The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases: even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there’s nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as a justification to evade responsibility.(问题的关键在于，在所有情况下，门口的婴儿都是真实的：即使另一方100%是错的，从长远来看，以此作为逃避责任的理由是没有任何好处的)”可知，在家门口发现新生儿的例子说明了错误不在自己，但仍需负起责任，不能因为不是自己的错误就逃避负责任。作者举这个例子是为了说明错误和责任之间有明显的区别，不能混为一谈。故选D项。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there’s a clever way to shut it down — which is to agree with it.(如果你发现自己是这种抱怨的接受者，有一个聪明的方法可以让它停止——那就是同意它)”可知，面对长期的抱怨者，让他们停止抱怨的方法就是赞同他们。故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了长期抱怨者会不停地抱怨，但是从不负起责任解决问题，他们试图从对话者的恼怒中获得正义感，从而逃避改变的责任，这背后的原因部分他们在于混淆了责任和错误。对待长期抱怨者，我们需要的是同意他们的观点，促使他们自己产生改变的想法。由此可知，C项“谁是长期抱怨者？如何处理他们？”符合文章大意，对应了文中对长期抱怨者的描述以及提出的解决方法，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
36．E 37．F 38．C 39．D 40．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了积极主动倾听他人的好处。
36．根据前句“The conflict resolution skills of different people vary. (不同的人解决冲突的技巧是不同的。)”可知，前后句存在解释关系，说明有些人很自然地就知道如何站在别人的角度考虑问题。所以选择项E“Some people naturally know how to step into someone else’s shoes. (有些人天生就知道如何换位思考。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
37．根据前句“People involved in conflict often feel misunderstood. (卷入冲突的人常常感到被误解。)”可知，前后句存在因果关系，说明冲突的理由是因为他们没有完全了解对方的立场。所以选择项F“The reason they argue is that they don’t fully know each other’s positions. (他们争论的原因是他们不完全了解对方的立场。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
38．根据后句“Active listening is a skill that allows you to acquire the knowledge which could lead your company into a better future. (积极倾听是一种技能，它可以让你获得知识，从而带领你的公司走向更美好的未来。)”可知，前后句存在递进关系，说明作为领导者应该对学习新事物持开放的态度。所以选择项C“Leaders should always be open to exploring something new. (领导者应该总是乐于探索新事物。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
39．根据后文“Listening to the whole message means you’re engaging on a deeper level with the speaker. It allows you to absorb more precise details from the conversation itself. If you’re receiving instructions or training, you will be able to recall details more easily. (倾听整个信息意味着你在更深层次上与演讲者交流。它能让你从谈话中吸收更精确的细节。如果你正在接受指导或培训，你就能更容易地回忆起细节。)”可知，本段主要讲积极主动倾听他人会避免遗漏重要的信息，D项与本段内容吻合，总领该段。所以选择项D“Active listening will help avoid missing important information. (积极倾听是学习的重要组成部分。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
40．根据前句“As a leader, when you listen to what your followers have to say, you understand them better. (作为一名领导者，当你倾听下属的想法时，你就能更好地理解他们。)”可知，选项内容与本段前句的内容存在递进关系，说明领导通过倾听下属的想法，你的沟通技巧会得到提高。所以选择项B“In turn, your workplace communication skills will improve. (反过来，你的职场沟通技巧也会提高。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。

66．Dear Dave,
I’m sorry to hear that you are addicted to playing computer games. I can understand how upset and stressed you must be, but I think it will surely harm to your health. Here are a few things you can do.
First, if I were you, I would try my best to limit the time spent on video games each day, so I could spend more time on other meaningful activities and hobbies. Another step would be finding purpose in reality, from enjoying face-to-face conversations with your family and friends to taking a walk in the sunshine. Immerse yourself in the pleasure of real life instead of a virtual world.
I am sure that with persistence, you’ll definitely get rid of your video game addiction. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Then Mr. Smith began to tell Billy his story. “At that time, I usually skipped classes and every teacher was seemingly used to that except Mr Howard. He arrested me again and again, so finally I yielded in case of meeting his disappointed eyes. And he noticed my change and talked with me about future patiently. It was the first time I had heard somebody who advised me to further my education and I began to study hard to be admitted into a college with the help of scholarship. And finally I made it.”
Paragraph 2:
Billy was greatly touched by Mr.Smith’s story. So he began to listen to the teachers carefully in class and finish his homework by himself. Fortunately, Mr. Smith was willing to help him make up what he missed before and other teachers were all glad to see his change and answer his question with patience. Eventually, with Billy’s effort and his teachers’ support, he was admitted into a famous college and became a doctor.

【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然后Smith先生开始给Billy讲他的故事。”可知，第一段可描写Smith先生上学时一开始不认真，但是受到Howard先生的支持和鼓励后，努力学习取得成功。
②由第二段首句内容“Billy被Smith先生的故事深深打动了。”可知，第二段可描写Billy发生转变，努力学习，最后也成功了。

With so many NYC museums to choose from, it’s hard to begin. The good news is, you’re in the right place. Below is a highly selective list of museums in New York City.
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Occupying two million square feet, with a permanent collection of over two million works of art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (founded in 1870) is one the largest galleries in the world. This famous fine arts museum in NYC possesses works from classical antiquity (古物), ancient Egypt, Asia, Byzantium, and Europe, with nearly all of the European masters represented.
American Museum of Natural History
Originally founded in 1869, the American Museum of Natural History is one of the largest museums in the world. Located in park-like grounds across the street from Central Park, the museum complex consists of 28 interconnected buildings housing 45 permanent exhibition halls. As a popular family-friendly NYC attraction, the American Museum of Natural History is as fun as it is educational.
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
One of the mid-twentieth century’s most important architectural landmarks, the iconic Solomon R. Museum was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright spent 15 years designing the building and gave up 700 sketches and six sets of working drawings in the process. He died six months before the doors were opened.

Children will become more and more independent and will do what they would like to do. However, as parents, you ought to take care of your own children and have a better understanding of them in the following cases.
School work becomes increasingly difficult as children grow up. So this is a time when some kids begin to do better in their school work while others struggle to understand more advanced and more difficult lessons. When they get home, talk with them about their school lessons and find out what they don’t understand. It’s a chance for you to stay close with your children as before and get them to relax.
For many families, homework can be a serious struggle. Many school-age kids are reluctant to sit down and study for a spelling test or complete their math homework. It’s natural for them to be bored with their homework, but you have to think of ways to help them form the right habit to finish their homework when they get home.
Many kids are busy with sports, music, and after-school activities. Others, however, may prefer to spend too many hours on the screen. It’s important to keep kids active at this age.
Friends become a bigger deal for children during this time too. Attending birthday parties or playing with kids on the playground can be good for their development.
Bullying (恃强凌弱的行为) can become a problem around this age. It’s important to talk to your child about kindness and respect so he doesn’t become a bully and it’s also quite necessary for you to talk about what he can do if he becomes a target.

①What does it say about the future of meat when the country’s largest processor of chicken, pork, and beef buys a stake (股份) in a start-up that aims to “perfectly replace animal protein with plant protein”?
②Tyson Foods announced this week that it purchased a 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat, the Southern California-based food-tech start-up that made headlines earlier this year with its veggie burger that reportedly cooks and tastes like real beef.
③To be sure, Beyond Meat’s meatless creations have yet to take the country by storm. Although the 100 percent plant-based burgers have achieved plenty of positive press since they appeared for the first time in May, so far they’re only available at Whole Foods stores in seven states. Even though the company’s “chicken” strips, “beef” pies, and meatless frozen dinners are available nationwide, Beyond Meat is hardly a household name.
④That may be what makes the news of Tyson’s investment all the more noteworthy. While the two companies declined to give details about the deal, it’s doubtful that Tyson’s 5 percent stake made much of dent (凹陷) in the meat giant’s coffers (金库). The company posted $41.4 billion in sales last year; prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat had reportedly raised $64 million in project capital funding — about what Tyson earns before lunch on any given day.
⑤Tyson is doing pretty great. The company reported record third-quarter earnings per share in August and says that it expects overall meat production to increase 2 to 3 percent during the next financial year. But like a big oil company shelling out cash to invest in wind power, Tyson’s toe-in-the-water move to team up with a start-up devoted to bringing more plant-based protein to American dinner tables seems to suggest the meat industry is starting to see which way the winds are blowing.
⑥Sales of plant-based protein, which totaled an estimated $5 billion last year, continue to pale compared with the market for meat in America — but vegetarian alternatives to meat are booming, with sales growing at more than double the rate for food products overall. The steady drumbeat of news about the negative health impacts, environmental problems, and animal welfare concerns associated with meat consumption appears to be sinking in. According to a survey released in April, more than half of Americans surveyed said they plan to eat more plant-based foods in the coming year.
28．Beyond Meat’s veggie burger made headlines probably because ________.
A．it makes perfect use of animal protein
B．it uses high tech in the making process
C．it tastes as good as a genuine beef burger
D．it represents the diet trend in South California
29．Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the state of Beyond Meat?
A．It is the creator of the country’s first 100 percent plant-based burgers.
B．It has been well received as its products are available nationwide.
C．It is far from being a match to real food processing giants like Tyson.
D．It provides high-quality dining experience in selected Whole Foods stores.
30．What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A．The purchase of the stake barely costs a thing for Tyson.
B．The 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat means a lot to Tyson.
C．Tyson’s investment hasn’t caught the attention of the media as expected.
D．Tyson is relying on this investment to raise more project capital funding.
31．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Meat will still take over the market in spite of other alternatives.
B．A major American meat company is betting on plant-based protein.
C．Tyson and Beyond Meat work together to build a global meat giant.
D．Plants have been found to contain protein that does more good to human beings.
Back in 1964, in his book Games People Play, psychiatrist Eric Berne described a pattern of conversation he called “Why Don’t You — Yes But”, which remains one of the most annoying aspects of everyday social life. The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they complain about it endlessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that’s proposed. The reason, of course, is that on some level they don’t want a solution; they want to be validated (认可) in their position that the world is out to get them. If they can “win” the game — dismissing every suggestion until interlocutor (对话者) gives up in annoyance — they get to feel pleasurably righteous (正当的) in their anger and excused from any obligation to change.
Part of the trouble here is the so-called responsibility/fault fallacy (谬误). When you’re feeling hard done by — taken for granted by your partner, say, or obliged to work for a stupid boss — it’s easy to become attached to the position that it’s not your job to address the matter, and that doing so would be an admission of fault. But there’s a confusion here. For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn’t be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility. There would be choices to make, and no possibility of avoiding them, since trying to ignore the matter would be a choice. The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases: even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there’s nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as a justification to evade responsibility.
Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there’s a clever way to shut it down — which is to agree with it. Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb describes this as “over-validation”. For one thing, you’ll be spared further complaining, since the other person’s motivation was to confirm her beliefs, and now you’re confirming them. But for another, as Gottlieb notes, people confronted with over-validation often hear their complaints afresh and start arguing back. The concept that they’re utterly powerless suddenly seems unrealistic, not to mention rather annoying — so they’re prompted instead to generate ideas about how they might change things.
“And then, sometimes, something magical might happen, ” Gotlieb writes. The other person “might realize she’s not as trapped as you are saying she is, or as she feels. ” Avoiding responsibility feels comfortable, but turns out to be a prison; whereas assuming responsibility feels unpleasant, but ends up being freeing.
32．What is the characteristic of a chronic complainer, according to Eric Berne?
A．They are angry about their ill treatment and feel bitter towards whoever tries to help.
B．They are habitually unhappy and endlessly find fault with people around them.
C．They constantly dismiss others’ proposals while taking no responsibility for dealing with the problem.
D．They lack the basic skills required for successful conversations with others.
33．What does the author try to illustrate with the example of the newborn on one’s doorstep?
A．People tend to think that one should not be held responsible for others’ mistakes.
B．It is easy to become attached to the position of overlooking one’s own fault.
C．People are often at a loss when confronted with a number of choices.
D．A distinction should be drawn between responsibility and fault.
34．What does the author advise people to do to chronic complainers?
A．Stop them from going further by agreeing with them.
B．Listen to their complaints attentively and sympathetically.
C．Ask them to validate their beliefs with further evidence.
D．Persuade them to clarify the confusion they caused.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．What is the responsibility/fault fallacy for chronic complainers?
B．How can you avoid dangerous traps in everyday social life?
C．Who are chronic complainers and how to deal with them?
D．Why should we stop being a chronic complainer and assume responsibility?

九、读后续写
67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Billy was 15 years old then. He grew up in a very poor neighborhood. No one in his family had gone to college before. Actually, few people around him had received higher education. They all struggled to live a good life. Therefore, Billy knew nothing about colleges or scholarships and he never thought he would go to college one day. Although he was a smart boy, he didn’t study hard at school and often got into trouble with other teenagers in his neighborhood.
One day, while Billy was walking on the playground, a boy of his age started making fun of him. Then that boy pushed him hard and Billy fell onto the ground. Billy became so angry that he stood up and beat that boy. So a fight began.
It happened that Billy’s English teacher Mr. Smith was walking nearby. He immediately ran to the boys to stop the fight. Billy was a bit worried because he knew his teacher was very strict with students. He was afraid his teacher would punish him. However, to his astonishment, his teacher didn’t do that.
“Billy, let’s have a talk,” said his teacher.
Billy, not knowing what his teacher wanted to do, was very worried. But he nodded. So they went to a bench nearby and sat down. After they sat down, Mr. Smith began, “Billy, I know you’re a smart boy, but you’re wasting your life now. Why don’t you study hard to go to college so that you can change your life and have a bright future?”
Hearing that, Billy didn’t know what to say. He had never thought about it. Billy was in silence. Mr. Smith continued, “I know you may have never thought about going to college. But everything is possible. When I was at your age, I was a troublemaker just like you and never thought I’d be able to go to college, either. It was all because of the support and encouragement of Mr. Howard, my math teacher in high school.”

【原文】
M: Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States. Every year on Presidents’ Day, we honor him as one of the greatest presidents in our country’s history. Abe Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. At night, he liked to read by candlelight, but in the day he worked on his father’s farm. As an adult, he lived in Illinois and became a lawyer. He served in Congress where he spoke out against slavery. By the time Lincoln was elected to the president in 1860, the nation was horribly divided over the issue of slavery. Eleven southern states decided to “escape”from the United States. That meant they broke off to form their own nation, which then led to the American Civil War.President Lincoln fought to keep the U.S. together as one united country. In the “Gettysburg Address”, President Lincoln honored the thousands of soldiers who died on that battlefield. He called for the nation to come together so that the“government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth". After four long years, the American Civil War ended. Abraham Lincoln had kept the United States together in its most terrible crisis. Today, we remember him as a great leader who led his country out of its darkest hour.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述美国最大的肉类加工商Tyson Foods加盟了一家叫做Beyond Meat的初创公司，Beyond Meat旨在用植物蛋白完美替代动物蛋白为大家生产无肉产品，以及这家公司产品目前的经营情况。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Tyson Foods announced this week that it purchased a 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat, the Southern California-based food-tech start-up that made headlines earlier this year with its veggie burger that reportedly cooks and tastes like real beef.(泰森食品公司本周宣布，它收购了Beyond Meat公司5%的股份。Beyond Meat是一家总部位于南加州的食品科技初创公司，今年早些时候，这家公司因其素食汉堡而登上头条，据报道，这款汉堡的烹饪和味道都像真正的牛肉)”可知，Beyond Meat的素食汉堡成为头条是因为这款汉堡的味道和真正的牛肉汉堡一样。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第四段“prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat had reportedly raised $64 million in project capital funding — about what Tyson earns before lunch on any given day.(据报道，在与泰森食品达成交易之前，Beyond Meat已经筹集了6400万美元的项目资本资金——这相当于泰森食品在任何一天午餐前的收入)”可知，Beyond Meat筹集的项目资金6400万美元仅仅是泰森食品一天午餐前的收入，由此可知Beyond Meat的规模远远不及Tyson Foods，即Beyond Meat不能与Beyond Foods相提并论。故选C。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“it’s doubtful that Tyson’s 5 percent stake made much of dent in the meat giant’s coffers(但令人怀疑的是，泰森食品持有的5%股份是否为这家肉类巨头财务带来很大的财务空缺)”和“prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat had reportedly raised $64 million in project capital funding — about what Tyson earns before lunch on any given day.(据报道，在与泰森食品达成交易之前，Beyond Meat已经筹集了6400万美元的项目资本资金——这相当于泰森食品在任何一天午餐前的收入)”可知，Beyond Meat筹集的项目资金6400万美元仅仅是泰森食品一天午餐前的收入，可得出泰森食品持有的5%股份不会造成很大的财务亏空，即对于泰森食品公司来说，收购Beyond Meat并未花费很多钱。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“What does it say about the future of meat when the country’s largest processor of chicken, pork, and beef buys a stake (股份) in a start-up that aims to “perfectly replace animal protein with plant protein”?(当中国最大的鸡肉、猪肉和牛肉加工商入股一家旨在“用植物蛋白完美替代动物蛋白”的初创企业时，这说明了肉类的未来是什么)”可知，最大的肉类加工公司Tyson Foods入股生产无肉产品的初创企业Beyond Meat意味着Tyson要重点投资植物蛋白这种无肉产品。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了长期抱怨者会不停地抱怨，但是从不负起责任解决问题，他们试图从对话者的恼怒中获得正义感，从而逃避改变的责任，这背后的原因部分在于他们混淆了责任和错误。对待长期抱怨者，我们需要的是同意他们的观点，促使他们自己产生改变的想法。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The person adopting the strategy is usually a chronic complainer. Something is terrible about their relationship, job, or other situation, and they complain about it endlessly, but find some excuse to dismiss any solution that’s proposed.(采用这种策略的人通常是一个长期抱怨者。他们的关系、工作或其他情况有些糟糕，他们不停地抱怨，但却找借口拒绝任何提出的解决方案)”可知，长期的抱怨者会一直拒绝他人的解决方案，不停地抱怨却不负责解决问题。故选C项。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, if I were to discover a newborn at my front door, it wouldn’t be my fault, but it most certainly would be my responsibility.(例如，如果我在家门口发现一个新生儿，这不是我的错，但肯定是我的责任)”和“The point is that what goes for the baby on the doorstep is true in all cases: even if the other person is 100% in the wrong, there’s nothing to be gained, long-term, from using this as a justification to evade responsibility.(问题的关键在于，在所有情况下，门口的婴儿都是真实的：即使另一方100%是错的，从长远来看，以此作为逃避责任的理由是没有任何好处的)”可知，在家门口发现新生儿的例子说明了错误不在自己，但仍需负起责任，不能因为不是自己的错误就逃避负责任。作者举这个例子是为了说明错误和责任之间有明显的区别，不能混为一谈。故选D项。
34．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Should you find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of complaining, there’s a clever way to shut it down — which is to agree with it.(如果你发现自己是这种抱怨的接受者，有一个聪明的方法可以让它停止——那就是同意它)”可知，面对长期的抱怨者，让他们停止抱怨的方法就是赞同他们。故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了长期抱怨者会不停地抱怨，但是从不负起责任解决问题，他们试图从对话者的恼怒中获得正义感，从而逃避改变的责任，这背后的原因部分他们在于混淆了责任和错误。对待长期抱怨者，我们需要的是同意他们的观点，促使他们自己产生改变的想法。由此可知，C项“谁是长期抱怨者？如何处理他们？”符合文章大意，对应了文中对长期抱怨者的描述以及提出的解决方法，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
36．E 37．F 38．C 39．D 40．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了积极主动倾听他人的好处。
36．根据前句“The conflict resolution skills of different people vary. (不同的人解决冲突的技巧是不同的。)”可知，前后句存在解释关系，说明有些人很自然地就知道如何站在别人的角度考虑问题。所以选择项E“Some people naturally know how to step into someone else’s shoes. (有些人天生就知道如何换位思考。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
37．根据前句“People involved in conflict often feel misunderstood. (卷入冲突的人常常感到被误解。)”可知，前后句存在因果关系，说明冲突的理由是因为他们没有完全了解对方的立场。所以选择项F“The reason they argue is that they don’t fully know each other’s positions. (他们争论的原因是他们不完全了解对方的立场。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
38．根据后句“Active listening is a skill that allows you to acquire the knowledge which could lead your company into a better future. (积极倾听是一种技能，它可以让你获得知识，从而带领你的公司走向更美好的未来。)”可知，前后句存在递进关系，说明作为领导者应该对学习新事物持开放的态度。所以选择项C“Leaders should always be open to exploring something new. (领导者应该总是乐于探索新事物。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
39．根据后文“Listening to the whole message means you’re engaging on a deeper level with the speaker. It allows you to absorb more precise details from the conversation itself. If you’re receiving instructions or training, you will be able to recall details more easily. (倾听整个信息意味着你在更深层次上与演讲者交流。它能让你从谈话中吸收更精确的细节。如果你正在接受指导或培训，你就能更容易地回忆起细节。)”可知，本段主要讲积极主动倾听他人会避免遗漏重要的信息，D项与本段内容吻合，总领该段。所以选择项D“Active listening will help avoid missing important information. (积极倾听是学习的重要组成部分。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
40．根据前句“As a leader, when you listen to what your followers have to say, you understand them better. (作为一名领导者，当你倾听下属的想法时，你就能更好地理解他们。)”可知，选项内容与本段前句的内容存在递进关系，说明领导通过倾听下属的想法，你的沟通技巧会得到提高。所以选择项B“In turn, your workplace communication skills will improve. (反过来，你的职场沟通技巧也会提高。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
41．B 42．D 43．A 44．C 45．D 46．C 47．D 48．B 49．B 50．A 51．B 52．B 53．C 54．D 55．C

66．Dear Dave,
I’m sorry to hear that you are addicted to playing computer games. I can understand how upset and stressed you must be, but I think it will surely harm to your health. Here are a few things you can do.
First, if I were you, I would try my best to limit the time spent on video games each day, so I could spend more time on other meaningful activities and hobbies. Another step would be finding purpose in reality, from enjoying face-to-face conversations with your family and friends to taking a walk in the sunshine. Immerse yourself in the pleasure of real life instead of a virtual world.
I am sure that with persistence, you’ll definitely get rid of your video game addiction. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Then Mr. Smith began to tell Billy his story. “At that time, I usually skipped classes and every teacher was seemingly used to that except Mr Howard. He arrested me again and again, so finally I yielded in case of meeting his disappointed eyes. And he noticed my change and talked with me about future patiently. It was the first time I had heard somebody who advised me to further my education and I began to study hard to be admitted into a college with the help of scholarship. And finally I made it.”
Paragraph 2:
Billy was greatly touched by Mr.Smith’s story. So he began to listen to the teachers carefully in class and finish his homework by himself. Fortunately, Mr. Smith was willing to help him make up what he missed before and other teachers were all glad to see his change and answer his question with patience. Eventually, with Billy’s effort and his teachers’ support, he was admitted into a famous college and became a doctor.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Billy出身贫穷，从未想过自己以后可以上大学。虽然Billy聪明，但是总是惹麻烦，不好好学习。一次，Billy和一个男孩打架，被自己的老师Smith先生看到了，Smith先生决定和Billy好好谈谈。于是Smith先生和Billy分享了自己曾经的经历，Billy被Smith先生的故事所打动，他决定好好学习，最终考上了大学。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然后Smith先生开始给Billy讲他的故事。”可知，第一段可描写Smith先生上学时一开始不认真，但是受到Howard先生的支持和鼓励后，努力学习取得成功。
②由第二段首句内容“Billy被Smith先生的故事深深打动了。”可知，第二段可描写Billy发生转变，努力学习，最后也成功了。
2. 续写线索：Smith先生讲故事——Smith先生上学不认真——Smith先生努力后成功——Billy被故事打动——Billy发生转变——Billy取得成功
