Habit frmatin is the prcess by which behaviurs becme autmatic. Peple develp cuntless habits as they explre the wrld, whether they are aware f them r nt. Understanding hw habits take shape may be helpful in changing bad habits.
Habits are built thrugh learning and repetitin. A persn is thught t develp a habit in the curse f pursuing gals by beginning t assciate certain cues(刺激) with behaviural respnses that help meet the gal. Over time, thughts f the behaviur and ultimately the behaviur itself are likely t be triggered(触发) by these cues.
A “habit lp(环)” is a way f describing several related elements that prduce habits. These elements are called the cue, the rutine, and the reward. Fr example, stress culd serve as a cue that ne respnds t by eating, which prduces the reward﹣the reductin f stress. While a rutine invlves repeated behaviur, it’s nt necessarily perfrmed in respnse t a deep﹣rted urge, as a habit is.
Old habits can be difficult t shake, and healthy habits are ften harder t develp. But thrugh repetitin, it’s pssible t frm new habits. The amunt f time needed t build a habit will depend n multiple factrs, including the individual and the intended behaviur. While yu are able t pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many mnths t build a healthy habit. Take sme time t think abut what leads t bad habits and re﹣evaluate what yu get ut f them (r dn’t). Cnsider and keep in mind why yu want t make a change, including hw the change reflects yur values.
40. Hw are habits built?

________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Habits are built thrugh learning and repetitin.
41. A rutine invlves repeated behaviur while a habit is a deep﹣rted urge.
42. Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shrter time. Because building a healthy habit takes many mnths.
43. I have a gd habit f ging t bed early and getting up early. Therefre, I can study energetically every mrning, which makes me study efficiently. Als, I am very healthy.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。习惯的形成是行为自动形成的过程。人们在探索世界的过程中养成了无数的习惯,不管他们是否意识到这些习惯。文章主要说明了习惯是如何形成的以及对人的影响。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Habits are built thrugh learning and repetitin.(习惯是通过学习和重复建立起来的)”可知,习惯是通过学习和重复建立起来的。故填Habits are built thrugh learning and repetitin.。
41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“While a rutine invlves repeated behaviur, it’s nt necessarily perfrmed in respnse t a deep﹣rted urge, as a habit is.(虽然一个常规包括重复的行为,但它不一定是为了应对深度﹣根深蒂固的冲动,就像习惯一样)”可知,常规不同于习惯在于:常规是重复的行为,而习惯是深度﹣根深蒂固的冲动,故填A rutine invlves repeated behaviur while a habit is a deep﹣rted urge.。
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“While yu are able t pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many mnths t build a healthy habit.(虽然你可以在几周内养成一个新的习惯,但是要养成一个健康的习惯却需要好几个月的时间)”可知,养成一个新的习惯需要好几周,而要养成一个健康的习惯却需要好几个月的时间。所以句子“Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shrter time.”中“a shrter time”错误,应该为many mnths,故填Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shrter time. Because building a healthy habit takes many mnths.。
【43题详解】
开放试题,言之有理即可。题干问“你的一个好习惯给你带来了什么好处?(大约40个字)”,答案可以是:我有早睡早起的好习惯。因此,我可以每天早上精力充沛地学习,这使我学习效率高。而且,我很健康。故填I have a gd habit f ging t bed early and getting up early. Therefre, I can study energetically every mrning, which makes me study efficiently. Als, I am very healthy.。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了作者经历过的一个突发事故,新年夜变压器爆炸,十五个朋友面面相觑,没有电还需要做年夜饭,但作者和朋友一起努力,度过了一个美好的新年夜。
【56题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据文章第一段“The fercius wind shk the windws wildly, as thugh smene utside were beating n the glass.(狂风猛烈地摇动着窗户,好像外面有人在敲打着玻璃。)”,结合常识可知,风肯定很大才会像窗外有人敲打着玻璃;形容风特别大可以用形容词fierce“猛的”、strng“强的”或vilent“暴力的”。故答案为Fierce./ Strng./ Vilent。
【57题详解】

【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“Why nt ck n the barbecue?(为什么不在烧烤架上做呢)”、“s we all sat arund the dining rm table and sang up until a few minutes befre midnight.(所以我们都坐在餐厅的桌子旁,一直唱到午夜前几分钟。)”和“we all cunted dwn and I drpped a tennis ball!(我们都开始倒数,然后我掉了一个网球!)” 可知,大家在烧烤架上做了饭、唱了歌,也做了新年倒数。故答案为They cked n the barbecue, sang, and cunted dwn./ By cking n the barbecue, singing, and cunting dwn.。
【59题详解】
考查推理判断。根据文章第四段“Nwadays, we still get tgether with the same grup t celebrate the New Year and we still talk abut that special night. I dn’t think we have ever laughed s much as we did n that New Year’s Eve. (现在,我们仍然聚在一起庆祝新年,我们仍然谈论那个特别的夜晚。我想我们从来没有像那个新年前夜那样笑得那么开心过。)”可知,作者认为那一夜是特别的,是充满欢笑的。故答案为It was the mst exciting ne./ It was a night filled with laughter./ It was special./ Exciting./ Pleasant./ Unfrgettable./ Jyful./ Different./ Memrable./ Unique.。
【60题详解】

【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述15岁的汤姆看到自己学校的学生喝含糖的饮料,随后发明了一种适合所有年龄的人们可以喝的无糖的健康饮料。
【40.【解析】
考查细节理解。根据第一段第一句“Tm, a 15-year-ld inventr and entrepreneur (创业者), witnessed at his wn schl the widespread cnsumptin f sugary drinks by kids.”(汤姆,一个15岁的发明家和企业家,在他自己的学校目睹了孩子们大量消费含糖饮料)可知,作为15岁的发明家和创业者,汤姆在学校目睹了孩子们广泛消费含糖饮料。故答案为Tm witnessed the widespread cnsumptin f sugary drinks by kids at his wn schl.
【41.【解析】
考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句中“Tm watched his mum make healthy fruit infusins ”(汤姆看着他的妈妈制作健康的水果饮料)第二句“ Frm bserving his mum and frm his desire t give kids better drink ptins, he came up with his riginal mdel fr the Fun Bttle. ”(从观察他的母亲和他要给孩子们更好的饮料选择的愿望,他想出了他的原始模型的Fun Bttle)可知,汤姆在观察母亲制作水果饮料的过程中得到启发,才有了Fun Bttle的原始模型。故答案为Tm gt the idea frm bserving his mum make healthy fruit infusins but then struggle fr a take-alng ptin.
【42.【解析】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“but this 15-year-ld is mst prud f the pprtunities that Fun Bttle presents t thers. It helps t prvide healthy alternatives t sugary drinks; and als Tm dnates part f the prfits t the Organisatin fr a Healthier Generatin (OHG).”(但是这个15岁的孩子最感到自豪的是Fun Bttle带给其他人的机会。它有助于对含糖饮料提供健康的替代品。而且汤姆还捐赠了部分利润为一个名为OHG的组织)可知,汤姆把自己产品的部分利润,并非全部利润,捐给了OHG。所以错误在于“all the prfits”,应修改为“part f the prfits”,故答案为Tm is mst prud f the pprtunities that Fun Bttle presents t thers because he nt nly prvides healthy alternatives t sugary drinks but als dnates all the prfits t the OHG. Tm dnates part f the prfits t the OHG.

A big part f my missin is t get peple f all ages ff sugary drinks,” Tm explains.”(“我想出一种健康、自然的方式,让人们在旅途中喝。我的一大任务就是让所有年龄段的人都不再喝含糖饮料,”汤姆解释说)可知,汤姆在看到学生喝含糖的饮料时,他想到要发明出一种适合所有年龄段都能喝的不含糖的饮料,可推知,汤姆是一个很有聪颖的,有洞察力的人。这种洞察力在我们的生活中可以帮助我们不断发现自己的不足,进而帮助我们提升自己。故答案为:I think the quality f perspicacity is imprtant, because this insight can help us cnstantly find ur wn shrtcmings in ur lives, which in turn can help us imprve urselves.(31)

There is a difference between arguing and fighting.Arguing is that yu and yur ppnent present yur cncerns and discuss the feelings and issues related t thse cncerns.Yu can engage in an argument respectfully withut stirring up(激起) anger.Fighting,hwever,usually invlves persnal attacks,raising f vices, and strming ut.Discussing yur issues and reslving them instead f stuffing them dwn can imprve yur emtinal health.In a study,2.000 peple were asked t recrd their feelings and experiences fr eight days in a rw.When peple had an argument that they cnsidered reslved, they had half the reactivity (情绪反应) f thse wh avided an argument.Reactivity is an increase in negative emtins r a decrease in psitive emtins.In ther wrds,reslving an argument cuts yur negative feelings by half.One day later, peple wh had a reslved argument reprted n increase f negative emtins cmpared with thse wh avided an argument. This means that reslving an argument can feel like yu have reached a state f reslutin——and yu are less likely t be annyed.
Mrever,the lder yu are,the mre likely yu will cme t a reslutin after an argument.This may be because mre life experience usually leads t mre defined pririties.Yu are mre likely t distinguish between what matters and what des nt.

43. In additin t imprving emtinal health,what d yu think are sme ther benefits f reslving an argument? (In abut 40 wrds)
【答案】40. Arguing is discussing yur wrries,related feelings and prblems with the ther party.

43. Reslving arguments can als imprve peple's lgical thinking and resilience, and imprve their relatinship with each ther.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。最近的研究表明,如果争吵得到解决,与之相关的情绪反应会显著减少或几乎完全消除。因此,向你的朋友、家人或同学提出问题可能是值得的,而不是阻止他们。
【40题详解】

【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“Recent research suggests that if an argument gets reslved,the emtinal respnse tied t it is significantly reduced r almst cmpletely erased.”(如果争吵得到解决,与之相关的情绪反应会显著减少或几乎)可知,解决争吵可以改善你的情绪健康,因为它增加你的反应,减少你生气的机会。解决争论有助于降低你的反应性,而不是增加你的反应力。故答案为Reslving arguments can imprve yur emtinal health,because it increases yur reactivity and reduces the chance f yu getting angry.Reslving arguments helps t decrease yur reactivity.
【43题详解】
考查开放思维。解决争吵也可以提高人们的逻辑思维能力和应变能力,使得相互之间的关系得到升华。故可能答案版本一为Reslving arguments can als imprve peple's lgical thinking and resilience, and imprve their relatinship with each ther.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了退休艺术家Anneke Camstra,人老心不老,积极对待生活,在线上从事动画教学的故事。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“She lves the experience f gaining new knwledge and als lves sharing it with thers. (她喜欢获得新知识的经历,也喜欢与他人分享。)”以及她所说的话“I’ve taken s many Udemy curses, and ifs such a great feeling t get my brain wrking again. I find just as much satisfactin in teaching animatin t. (我上了很多Udemy的课程,能让我的大脑重新工作真是太棒了。我在动画教学中也发现了同样的满足感。)”可知,Anneke退休后获得新的知识并与人分享,她参加Udemy课程并教授动画。故答案为Gaining new knwledge and sharing it with thers. Or: Taking Udemy curses and teaching animatin.
【57题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第二段中“Her mtivatin fbr teaching n Udemy is ‘t get the tls t the peple.’‘Yu can g such a lng way t make things that lk prfessinal but still have yur wn vice,’ she explained.(她教Udemy的动机是‘把工具带给人们’。她解释说:‘你可以走很长一段路,让事情看起来很专业,但仍然有自己的声音。’)”可以推知,她希望学生制作动画有专业性,同时要表达自己的思想,有自己的特色,实现自己的梦想。故答案为T make prfessinal prducts and express themselves. Or: T accmplish/cmplete prfessinal and unique wrks. Or: T achieve their gals/what they dream f.
【58题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“Anneke understands hw fear can get in the way f s many things peple dream f ding. With her five-day challenge curses, she helps them get ver the fear. Anneke lves the impact she has n her students. What makes her mre prud f them is that they have gne frm their first animatin t creating their wn wrks.
(Anneke知道恐惧是如何阻碍人们梦想的事情。通过为期五天的挑战课程,她帮助他们克服恐惧。Anneke喜欢她对学生的影响。更让她感到自豪的是,他们已经从第一部动画发展到创作自己的作品。)”可知,第3段的主旨是Anneke帮助学生克服克服恐惧并创造他们自己的动画作品。故答案为Anneke helps her students get ver the fear and create their wn animatin wrks.
【59题详解】
考查词句猜测。划线词句后文“Grandparents, fr example, can learn t use GAnimate and make animatins tgether with their grandkids. (例如,祖父母可以学习使用GAnimate和他们的孙辈们一起制作动画。)”举例说明了Anneke主张让老年人和孙辈们一起制作动画,再根据划线词语“She encurages peple f all ages, especially lder peple, t cultivate their curisity fr life. (她鼓励所有年龄段的人,尤其是老年人,cultivate他们对生活的好奇心。)”可知,Anneke鼓励老年人,培养发展他们的好奇心。从而推知划线词语cultivate应为“培养;发展”的意思。故答案为Develp.
【60题详解】
考查读后表达。通读全文,以Anneke Camstra 的榜样,我建议应该让老年人学习使用社交媒体,因为它使老年人能更好的了解外面的世界。故答案为T learn t use scial media, because it allws them t get t knw the utside wrld better.

【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一个害羞的人,害差使作者不敢参加活动,并把自己封闭起来。后来作者接受了自己的害怕,并创建了Shy and Mighty Sciety,给像自己一样害羞的人发光的空间,共同提高。
56. 细节理解题。根据第一段“I pressed "play" t listen back. All I heard was a little kid talking. My immediate reactin was t assume I was listening t smene else's recrding. But that was my vice. I realised there was smething strange abut me.”可知,作者录完音后,按下“播放”键来听,奇怪地听到一个小孩在说话。作者的第一反应是以为在听别人的录音,但那是作者的声音。由此可知,作者感到奇怪是因为自己的声音小,或听到一个小孩在说话,或是感觉听到的不是自己期望的。故答案为:Because her vice was different frm what she had expected. Or: Because all she heard was a little kid talking. Or: Because f her little vice.
57.
段落大意题。根据第二段“My little vice has made me feel really shy. And my shyness has caused me t avid attending events, nt make imprtant cnnectins, and keep my ideas t myself. As a shy persn, wrking frm hme, hiding behind my cmputer was brilliant. But the mre time I spent hidden away, the mre my cmfrt zne shrank(缩小).” 可知作者的声音小,使作者害羞,害羞使作者不参加活动,不和别人交流。作者越隐藏自己,舒适区就越小。这些都说明了害羞使作者隐藏,远离了别人,给作者带来了坏影响。故答案为:Her shyness had a/an(bad) influence/effect/impact n her(life). Or: Her shyness kept her hidden away. Or: Her shyness kept her away frm ther peple.
58. 词义猜测题。上句提到“The wrld needs a mixture f persnalities. Success is nt just abut wh can shut the ludest. The wrld needs quieter peple, t.”表明作者感悟到这个世界需个性。成功不只是谁喊得声最大。世界也需要更安静的人。根据“That day I chse t stp hiding”可知作者选择不再躲藏,接受自己的害羞。embrace原意是“拥抱”,此处指“接受,迎接”,故答案为:Accept. Or: Welcme.
59. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Then I created the Shy and Mighty Sciety, a space fr shy peple like me t shine, and in the prcess f helping thers, I culd als push myself frward,”可知作者创建Shy and Mighty Sciety是为了给像自己一样害羞的人发光的空间,在帮助别人的过程中,也可以推动自己一点点前进。故答案为:T help shy peple(t shine) and push herself frward. Or: T help ther shy peple and herself.
60. 推理判断题。作者创建Shy and Mighty Sciety是为了给像自己一样害羞的人发光的空间,所以作为这个组织的负责人应该是组织活动或分享克服害羞的经验,用多种形式鼓励他人战胜害羞、增加自信、提高社交技能。故答案可以是:I will rganize a speech cntest s that they can walk ut f their cmfrt zne and becme mre cnfident. Or: I will share my experience with them, telling them hw I handle my shyness. Or: I will encurage them t take part in varius activities t imprve their scial skills.

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直活在哥哥泰森的阴影下,他的哥哥很酷,所以他总是被忽略。但当哥哥离开去上大学,他独自开始学校生活时,通过加入学校的Science Olympiad,他找到了真正的自己,也按自己的理解重新定义了”酷”。
56. 词义猜测题。根据第一段的As any yunger brther will tell yu, having a big brther invlves a lt f walking in smene else’s shadw, especially when yu have a brther wh is a typical example f “cl”. Fr years I wanted t d everything my elder brther Tysn did, but n matter hw hard I tried, I was always the neglected ne.可知,就像任何一个弟弟会告诉你的那样,有一个大哥哥意味着走在别人的影子里,尤其是当你有一个很“酷”的哥哥时。多年以来,我想做我的哥哥泰森做的一切,但是无论我怎么努力,我总是被忽略的一个。根据句意,尤其是I was always the neglected ne可推测,划线部分的意思是“得不到关注/被忽略”。故填:Receiving less attentin than smene else.
Or: Being/Feeling less successful than smene else.
Or: Being/Feeling neglected.
57. 细节理解题。根据第二段的but when my family mved, everything changed. Tysn left fr cllege, s I had t start at a new schl all by myself. (但当我们搬家时,一切都改变了。泰森去上大学了,所以我不得不独自在一个新的学校开始)可知,搬家后,作者的哥哥去上大学以及作者独自开始新学校的生活给了作者他新的开始。故填:That his brther left fr cllege and he changed schls.
Or: Tysn’s leaving fr cllege and the authr’s ging t/attending a new schl.
58. 细节理解题。根据第三段的I had always been fascinated with chemistry, bilgy, and math, but since thse interests hadn’t fit Tysn’s definitin f “cl”, I had never pursued them. On this day, fr sme reasn, I did. (我一直对化学、生物和数学着迷,但因为这些兴趣不符合泰森对“酷”的定义,所以我从来没有追求过。这一天,出于某种原因,我参加了)可知,参加Science Olympiad队是作者成长的转折点,因为他选择不再做哥哥的“影子”。故填:Jining the Science Olympiad team.
Or: That he jined the Science Olympiad team.
Or: Discvering his true interests (in science).
59. 主旨大意题。根据本段的主要内容,尤其是Nw I knw wh I am! I’m Tysn’s little brther, but that’s nly part f my identity. I’m a cl guy in my wn way, t.

Or: He has discvered his wn way t be cl.

【2019年江苏卷】The Cst f Thinking
Despite their many differences, all human beings share several defining characteristics. such as large brains and the ability t walk upright n tw legs.
The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extrardinarily large brains cmpared with ther animals. It seems bvius that evlutin shuld select fr larger brains. Mammals(哺乳动物)weighing sixty kilgrams have an average brain size f 200 cm2. Mdern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are s fnd f ur high intelligence that we assume that when it cmes t brain pwer, mre must be better. Unfrtunately, that is nt the case.
The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain—cnsumptin f energy—n the bdy. I's nt easy t carry arund, especially when bxed inside a massive skull(倾骨). It's even harder t prvides energy. In mdern man, the brain accunts fr abut 2-3%f ttal bdy weight but it cnsumes 25% f the bdy's energy when the bdy is at rest. By cmparisn, the brains f apes(类人猿)require nly 8%f rest-time energy. Early humans pad fr their large brains in tw ways. Firstly, they spent mre time in search fd. Secndly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. It's hardly an bvius cnclusin that this is a gd way t survive. A chimpanzee(黑猩猩) can't win an argument with a mdern man, but it can tear the man apart like a rag dll.
Anther unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it's easier t find fd r enemies. In additin, their arms that are unnecessary fr mving arund are freed fr ther purpses, like thrwing stnes r signaling. As a result, humans can perfrm very cmplex tasks with their hands.
Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bne structure f ur ancestrs develped fr millins f years t supprt a creature that walked n all furs and has a relatively small head. Adjusting t an upright psitin was quite a challenge, especially when the bnes had t supprt an extra-large skull. Humankind paid fr its brad visin and skillful hands backaches and painful necks.
We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems bvius that these have made humankind the mst pwerful animal n earth. But humans enjyed all f these advantages fr a full 2 millin years during which they remained weak and marginal creature. Thus humans wh lived a millin years ag despite their big brains and sharp stne tls, lived in cnstant fear f meat-eating animals.
【答案】71. characteristics 72. disadvantages 73. energy 74. impact(s) 75. guard 76. ther
77. limits 78. physical 79. beat 80. fearful/afraid
【解析】本文为记叙文。主要叙述人用大脑思考的代价。人类与动物相比有两大特点:大大的大脑和直立行走。超大的大脑使人类拥有更高的智商,但却消耗巨大的能量。直立行走让人类擅长寻找食物和抵御敌人,解放了的双手来更复杂的事。但却让人类遭受腰痛和颈部疼痛等。人类成为地球上最强大的动物,享受无与伦比的优势,却对食肉动物怀有恐惧。
71. characteristics考查信息归纳。根据第一段“all human beings share defining characteristics ,such as large brains and the ability t walk upright n tw legs.”可知,大脑袋和双腿直立行走的能力是人类共有的特点(characteristics)。故填characteristics。
72. disadvantages 考查信息归纳。72题就是对第三段内容的总结。第三段主要叙述了人类的大脑大的缺点。因此本空格填写disadvantages。
73. energy 考查信息来源。根据第三段中的“a huge brain is a huge drain--cnsumptin f energy ”以及“It (the brain) cnsumes 25% f the bdy’s energy when the bdy is at rest.By cmparisn the brains f apes require nly 8% f rest- time energy”可知,人类巨大的大脑是一个巨大的能量消耗。 当身体处于休息时,大脑要消耗25%的身体能量。相比之下,类人猿的大脑只需要8%的休息时间能量。人类与动物相比,动物需要的能量(energy)要比人类少。故填energy。
74. impact(s)考查信息归纳题。分析空后的75--78小题所在的第五段和第六段的内容可知,此部分主要叙述了直立行走对人类的影响。故填impact(s)。
75. guard考查信息转换。根据第五段的第一句“Anther unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it’s easier t find fd r enemies.”可知,另一个独特的人类特征是我们直立行走。站起来,更容易找到食物或敌人。找到敌人,就是为了防御敌人。因为r为连词,在此句中连结两个动词短语,故空格填动词。“guard against...”为固定搭配,意为“防御”,故本空填写guard。
76. ther考查信息来源。根据第五段中的” arms that are unnecessary fr mving arund are freed fr ther purpses ,like thrwing stnes r signaling. As a result, humans can perfrm very cmplex tasks with their hands. ”可知,解放了的双手可以用于做其它的事,即有其它的目的。故填ther。
77. limits考查信息归纳。根据第五段“walking upright has disadvantages. The bne structure f ur ancestrs develped fr millins f years t supprt a creature that walked n fur and a relative small head. Adjusting t an upright psitin was quite a challenge , especially when the bnes had t supprt an extra -large skull.” 可知,直立行走也有缺点。我们祖先进化了上百亿年,⻣骼也只能支撑四肢行走和有一个相对较小的头。直立行走对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战,限制了人的头脑的大小。故本空填limits。
78. physical考查信息转换。根据第六段“..., Humankind paid fr its visin and skillful hands with backaches and painful necks.” 可知,直立对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战,人类为自己的视力和灵巧的双手付出了代价,换来的是腰酸背痛和脖子疼痛。由此得出,直立导致身体方面的(physical)痛苦,故填physical。
79. beat根据最后一段“We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages.It seems bvius that these have made humankind the mst pwerful animal n earth.”可知,我们假设大脑越大,优势越大。很明显,这些使得人类成为地球上最强大的动物。由此可推断出我们的大脑比动物大,在智力方面人类比动物更聪明,即在智力方面击败了(beat)其他动物。故本空填beat。
80. fearful/afraid根据最后一段“ enjyed all f these advantages fr a full 2 millin years during which they weak and marginal creatures. Thus humans wh lived a millin years ag, despite their big brains and sharp stne tls, lived in cnstant fear f meat--eating animals.”可知,尽管人类享受着所有这些优势,但也是弱小的生物。因此尽管拥有巨大的大脑和锋利的石器,但也曾经对食肉动物仍旧害怕/恐惧。因为空前是系动词,故本空要填形容词(afraid/fearful)可知,此处要填名词,故填fearful/afraid。

I wuld be happy t wear traditinal Chinese clthes at the welcme ceremny. Firstly, this is precisely what the British visitrs are expecting. They cme t learn abut Chinese culture with their wn eyes.

【2018年江苏卷】Hw Arts Prmte Our Ecnmy
When mst peple think f the arts, they imagine the end prduct, the beautiful painting, a wnderful piece f music, r an award-winning perfrmance in the theater. But arts grups bring brader value t ur cmmunities. The ecnmic impact f the arts is ften verlked and badly judged.
The arts create jbs that help develp the ecnmy. Any given perfrmance takes a tur bus full f artists, technical experts, managers, musicians, r writers t create an appealing piece f art. These peple earn a living wage fr their prfessinal knwledge and skills.
Anther grup f flks is needed t help market the event. “If yu build it they will cme” is a misleading belief. Painters, digital media experts, phtgraphers, bking agents and prmters are hired t sell tickets and prmte the event. Accrding t the Dallas Area Cultural Advcacy Calitin, arts agencies emply mre than 10,000 peple as full-r part-time emplyees r independent cntractrs.
A successful arts neighbrhd creates a ripple effect(连锁反应)thrughut a cmmunity. In 2005, when the Bishp Arts Theatre was dnated t ur twn, the lcatin was cnsidered a pr area f twn. After investing mre than $1 millin in recnstructing the building, we began prducing a full seasn f theater perfrmances, jazz cncerts, and year-rund arts educatin prgrams in 2008. Nearly 40 percent f jazz lvers live utside f the Dallas city limits and drive r fly in t enjy an evening in the Bishp Arts District.
N dubt the theater has cntributed t the area’s develpment and ecnmic grwth. Tday, there are galleries, studis, restaurants and newly built wrk spaces where neighbrs share experiences, where there is renewed life and energy. In this way, arts and culture als serve as a public gd.
TeC Theatrical Prductins Inc. made use f Blmberg’s investment f $35,000 t get nearly $400,000 in public and private sectr supprt during the tw-year perid. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses prduce $298 fr every dllar the city spends n arts prgramming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metr area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an ecnmic impact f almst $3 millin and supprt 44,000 jbs, 80 percent f which actually lie utside the arts industry, including accuntants, marketers, cnstructin wrkers, htel managers, printers, and ther kinds f art wrkers.
The arts are efficient ecnmic drivers and when they are supprted, the entire small-business cmmunity benefits.
It is wrng t assume arts grups cannt make a prfit. But in rder t stay in business, arts grups must prduce returns. If yu are a student studying the arts, chances are yu have been ill-advised t have a plan B. But thse wh truly understand the ecnmic impact and can wrk t change the patterns can create a wide range f career pssibilities.

【2017年江苏卷】Ppulatin Change
Why is the wrld’s ppulatin grwing? The answer is nt what yu might think. The reasn fr the explsin is nt that peple have been reprducing like rabbits, but that peple have stpped drpping dead like flies. In 1900, peple died at the average age f 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature f the 20th century, declining birth rate culd be a defining ne f the 21st.
Statistics shw that the average number f births per wman has fallen frm 4.9 in the early 1960s t 2.5 nwadays. Furthermre, arund 50% f the wrld’s ppulatin live in regins where the figure is nw belw the replacement level ( births per wman) and almst all develped natins are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. Yu might think that develping natins wuld make up the lss(especially since 80% f the wrld’s peple nw live in such natins), but yu’d be wrng. Declining birth rate is a majr prblem in many develping regins t, which might cause catastrphic glbal shrtages f wrk frce within a few decades.
A great decline in yung wrk frce is likely t ccur in China, fr instance. What des it imply? First, China needs t underg rapid ecnmic develpment befre a ppulatin decline hits the cuntry. Secnd, if ther factrs such as technlgy remain cnstant, ecnmic grwth and material expectatins will fall well belw recent standards and this culd invite truble.
Russia is anther cuntry with ppulatin prblems that culd break its ecnmic prmise. Since 1992 the number f peple dying has been bigger than that f thse being brn by a massive 50%. Indeed fficial figures suggest the cuntry has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and peple in Russia live a shrter life nw than thse in 1961. Why is this ccurring? Nbdy is quite sure, but pr diet and abve all lng-time alchlism have much t d with it. If current trends dn’t bend, Russia’s ppulatin will be abut the size f Yemen’s by the year 2050.
In the nrth f India, the ppulatin is bming due t high birth rates, but in the suth, where mst ecnmic develpment is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in prly educated rural areas and lwest in highly educated urban areas. In ttal, 25% f India’s wrking-age ppulatin has n educatin. In 2030, a sixth f the cuntry’s ptential wrk frce culd be ttally uneducated.
One slutin is bviusly t imprt freign wrkers via immigratin. As fr the USA, it is almst unique amng develped natins in having a ppulatin that is expected t grw by 20% frm 2010-2030. Mrever, the USA has a track recrd f successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it’s likely t see a rise in the size f its wrking-age ppulatin and t witness strng ecnmic grwth ver the lnger term.
The birth rate in the 21st century may be much (71) ▲ than it was in the 20th.

【2016年江苏卷】An Extensin f the Human Brain
Other peple can help us cmpensate fr ur mental and emtinal deficiencies (欠缺), much as a wden leg can cmpensate fr a physical deficiency. T be exact, ther peple can extend ur intelligence and help us understand and adjust ur emtins. When anther persn helps us in such ways, he r she is participating in what I’ve called a "scial prsthetic (义肢的) system." Such systems d nt need t perate face-t-face, and it’s clear t me that the Internet is expanding the range f my wn scial prsthetic systems. It’s already a big bank f many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memry and judgment.
Regarding memry: Once I lk up smething n the Internet, I dn’t need t keep all the details fr future use — I knw where t find that infrmatin again and can quickly and easily d s. Mre generally, the Internet functins as if it were my memry. This functin f the Internet is particularly striking when I’m writing; I’m n lnger cmfrtable writing if I’m nt cnnected t the Internet. It’s becme natural t check facts as I write, taking a minute r tw t dip int PubMed, Wikipedia, r ther websites.
Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large. Fr example, when I’m writing a textbk, it has becme secnd nature t check a dzen definitins f a key term, which helps me dig int the cre and understand its meaning. But mre than that, I nw regularly cmpare my views with thse f many thers. If I have a "new idea," I nw quickly lk t see whether smebdy else has already thught f it, r smething similar — and I then cmpare what I think with what thers have thught. This certainly makes my wn views clearer. Mrever, I can find ut whether my reactins t an event are reasnable enugh by reading abut thse f thers n the Internet.
These effects f the Internet have becme even mre striking since I’ve begun using a smartphne. I nw regularly pull ut my phne t check a fact, watch a vide, read weib. Such activities fill the spaces that used t be dead time (such as waiting fr smebdy t arrive fr a lunch meeting).
But that’s the upside(好处). The dwnside is that in thse dead perids I ften wuld let my thughts flw and smetimes wuld have an unexpected insight r idea. Thse pprtunities are nw fewer and farther between.
【答案】71. Internet 72. participates/jins 73. keeping 74. all/different/varius 75. heart/cre
76. check 77. judge 78. mixed/tw 79. cnvenient 80. reduce
【解析】71. Internet 原词再现。根据第一段第四句Such systems d nt need t perate face-t-face, and it’s clear t me that the Internet is expanding the range f my wn scial prsthetic systems.可知因特网可以拓宽社会义肢系统的范围,也就是说网络可以弥补我们精神和情感上的缺陷。
72. participates/jins 同义句转换。根据第一段最后两句It’s already a big bank f many minds. Even in its current state, the Internet has extended my memry and judgment.可知动词短语"participate/jin in"符合句意。
73. keeping 词形转换。根据第二段第一句"Once I lk up smething n the Internet, I dn’t need t keep all the "可知动词短语" mind记住",在表格中放在介词withut的后面,要使用动名词keeping的形式。
74. all/different/varius 同义词转换。根据第三段第一句The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large.可知原文中"matters small and large"就是"all/different/varius"的事情。
75. heart/cre 同义句转换。根据第三段第二句" helps me dig int the cre and understand its meaning"可知网络能让我们找到事物的核心并理解其真正含义。故短语"the cre/heart f the matter"和原文中"dig int the cre"语义一致。
76. check 同义词转换。根据第三段第四句"If I have a " new idea," I nw quickly lk t see whether smebdy else has already thught f it, r smething similar—and I then cmpare what I think with what thers have thught."可知当我们有了新的观点以后,我们会上网检查核对别人是否已经有了同样的观点,并对自己的行动做出判断。表格中check与原文语义一致。
77. judge 归纳总结。根据第三段最后一句"Mrever, I can find ut whether my reactins t an event are reasnable enugh by reading abut thse f thers n the Internet."可知在网络上阅读其他人的信息,让我判断我的行为是否合理,所以表格里使用动词judge。
78. mixed/tw 归纳总结。在文章最后两段中既提到了智能手机的优点也提到了其缺点。所以这是智能手机的正反两方面内容,所以使用形容词"mixed/tw"。
79. cnvenient 同义句转换。根据第四段后两句I nw regularly pull ut my phne t check a fact, watch a vide, read weib. Such activities fill the spaces that used t be dead time (such as waiting fr smebdy t arrive fr a lunch meeting).可知我们可以使用智能手机随时查信息,看视频,读微博,使用起来非常方便。所以使用形容词"cnvenient"。
80. reduce 句意转换。根据文章最后两句"The dwnside is that in thse dead perids I ften wuld let my thughts flw and smetimes wuld have an unexpected insight r idea. Thse pprtunities are nw fewer and farther between."在过去那些"dead perids"时,我总会有一些灵光一现的神来之念,但是现在这些时间都被智能手机占用了。无疑就减少了这些神来之念的可能性。所以表格中使用"reduce the pssibility"。

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS fr each answer.
Nt all print dictinaries are the same, as yu will ntice when yu select ne. T make a wise selectin, yu shuld knw hw t distinguish amng three kinds f print dictinaries: pcket, desk, and unabridged. Yu shuld als knw the date f yur dictinary, and check its special features.
A pcket dictinary is small. Generally, it cntains n mre than 75,000 entries, making it handy t carry t class and efficient t use. Hwever, a pcket dictinary desn’t cntain enugh entries t be adequate fr cllege reference hmewrk. In additin, the infrmatin abut each wrd in a pcket dictinary is generally limited. A desk dictinary is medium-sized, generally cntaining ver 170,000 entries as well as extra features. Fr cllege wrk yu shuld wn a current desk dictinary. An unabridged dictinary is a cmplete dictinary. Abridged dictinaries, such as pcket and desk dictinaries, are shrtened. Because unabridged dictinaries cntain nearly all English wrds, they are large and heavy. They are ften used by schls and libraries.
If the date f yur current dictinary shws that it was published five r mre years ag, cnsider investing in a mre recent editin. English is a dynamic language that admits new wrds and recgnizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage f familiar wrds. This is reflected in an up-t-date dictinary.
In selecting a dictinary, check the features it ffers besides vcabulary definitins. Many editins cntain signs, symbls and freign wrds. Sme als cntain CD-ROMs and access t special nline features.
【答案】71.Select 72.Inadequate 73.wrd infrmatin 74.desk dictinary 75.extra features
76.large and heavy 77.schls and libraries 78.admitting new wrds 79.Cheek 80.access t
【解析】试题分析:本文讲述了三种字典的类型,旨在告诉读者如何根据需要去选择字典。
71.Select; 本文讲述了三种字典的类型,旨在告诉读者如何根据需要去选择字典。故填Select.
72.inadequate;根据第二段中的第三句话:Hwever, a pcket dictinary desn’t cntain enugh entries t be adequate fr cllege reference hmewrk.可知作者认为口袋字典不能用来作为写家庭作业的参考。不能够胜任: inadequate fr…。故填inadequate
73.wrd infrmatin;根据第二段的第四句话:the infrmatin abut each wrd in a pcket dictinary is generally limited可知口袋字典里每个单词的意思是有限的。故填wrd infrmatin
77.schls and libraries;根据第二段的最后一句话:They are ften used by schls and libraries. 可知unabridged dictinaries适用于学校和图书馆。故填schls and librarie
78.admitting new wrds;根据第三段的第二句话:可知英语是一种动态的语言,所以字典也应该及时地更新,允许心的单词加入。故填admitting new wrds

【2015年湖南卷】Walk Out f the Cmfrt Zne and Try New Things
Fr mst high schl students, free perids are useless. Frm what I have seen, few d hmewrk; instead many are n their phnes and talking, making it impssible fr thse wh actually want t d wrk t cmplete any. As a senir next year, I think extra perids shuld be used t take ptinal subjects.
Our schl ffers many classes. Nw is the time t experiment in different fields f study. We will never knw if we are interested r talented in a subject if we dn’t try it.
In my 8th grade, I was tld that I had t take an art class as a graduatin requirement; s in the 9th grade I tk Studi and Art. One f the prjects was t build a clay pt, but I built mine incrrectly, s it brke in the kiln (窑). I fund ut that I have n artistic ability at all, and nw I knw fr sure that I d nt want t be an artist. Hwever, the class was ne f my favrites that year. I was able t try new activities and test my ability.
Walk ut f ur cmfrt zne and try new things! Cllege is when we shuld fcus n a specific majr, but high schl is when we have t figure it ut.
Half f all cllege students change their majr at sme pint. By ding that hundreds f dllars are wasted n classes that they wuld have never needed t take. S use ur extra perids t find ut what we want t d in cllege. The classes we chse can impact us in the future. Taking ptinal subjects will enrich ur mind.

【答案】
81.We shuld use them t take ptinal subjects.
82.We will never knw if we are interested r talented in a subject withut trying it.
83.It was built incrrectly and brke in the kiln.
84.It will enrich ur mind and shw clleges we are diverse students.
82.We will never knw if we are interested r talented in a subject if we dn’t try it.根据第二段倒数第一句话和倒数第二句话:Nw is the time t experiment in different fields f study. We will never knw if we are interested r talented in a subject withut trying it.可知道答案,又因为字数有限,所以将we dn’t try it 改成withut trying it.故填We will never knw if we are interested r talented in a subject if we dn’t try it.
83.It was built incrrectly and brke in the kiln.根据第三段第二句话:One f the prjects were t build a clay pt, but I built mine incrrectly s it brke in the kiln.可知作者因为做错了陶罐导致它摔碎,从而得知自己没有艺术家的天分。故填It was built incrrectly and brke in the kiln.
84.It will enrich ur mind and shw clleges we are diverse students.根据最后一段的倒数两句话:The class we chse can impact us in the future. Taking ptinal subjects t will enrich ur mind.

【考点定位】人生哲理类短文阅读。
【名师点睛】这种有关人生类的哲理性短文,夹叙夹议,一定程度上相当于记叙文。首先一定要理清作者的思路,根据作者的思路搞清楚他想表达自己一个什么样的思想以及他从自己的经历或叙事当中的体会是什么。比如第三段中的句子:One f the prjects was t build a clay pt, but I built mine incrrectly, s it brke in the kiln (窑). I fund ut that I have n artistic ability at all, and nw I knw fr sure that I d nt want t be an artist.可知作者本来是想做一个艺术家,但通过烧窑做黏土锅这件事发现自己并不适合当艺术家。以此来鼓励作者根据自己的兴趣做一些尝试,成功失败都不重要,在年轻时丰富自己的经历和大脑才是首要事情。

【2015年江苏卷】Peple select news in expectatin f a reward. This reward may be either f tw kinds. One is related t what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the ther t what he calls the Reality Principle. Fr want f better names, we shall call these tw classes immediatereward and delayed reward.
In general, the kind f news which may be expected t give immediate reward are news f crime and crruptin, accidents and disasters, sprts, scial events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected frm news f public affairs, ecnmic matters, scial prblems, science, educatin, and health.
News f the first kind pays its rewards at nce. A reader can enjy an indirect experience withut any f the dangers r stresses invlved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh understandingly at a warm little stry f children r dgs.
News f the secnd kind, hwever, pays its rewards later. It smetimes requires the reader t tlerate unpleasantness r annyance — as, fr example, when he reads f the threatening freign situatin, the munting natinal debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce husing, and cancer. It has a kind f "threat value." It is read s that the reader may be infrmed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself int the wrld f surrunding reality t which he can adapt himself nly by hard wrk. When he selects news f the ther kind, he usually withdraws frm the wrld f threatening reality tward the dream wrld.
Fr any individual, f curse, the bundaries f these tw classes are nt stable. Fr example, a scilgist may read news f crime as a scial prblem, rather than fr its immediate reward. A cach may read a sprts stry fr its threat value: he may have t play that team next week. A plitician may read an accunt f his latest successful public meeting, nt fr its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an accunt f a party. In any given stry f crruptin r disaster, a thughtful reader may receive nt nly the immediate reward f indirect experience, but als the delayed reward f infrmatin and preparedness. Therefre, while the divisin f categries hlds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any stry frm ne kind f reading t anther, r divide the experience between the tw kinds f reward.
【答案】71.rewards/rewarded 72.Explanatins 73.Invlvement 74.Share 75.threat
76.Prepare 77.Withdraw 78.prfessin(s)/intentin 79.Adapt 80.depends
71.信息查找题。根据“Peple select news in expectatin f a reward. This reward may be either f tw kinds.”可知此处填rewards/rewarded“得到回报/被奖励”。
72.信息归纳题。文章二、三、四段是对“immediate reward(即时回报)”和“delayed reward(迟来的回报)”的解释。
73.信息转换题。根据第三段第二句“A reader can enjy an indirect experience withut any f the dangers r stresses invlved.”可知此处填invlvement“参与”。
76.信息转换题。根据第四段中“It is read s that the reader may be infrmed and prepared.”可知此处填prepare,与后面的介词fr搭配“为……做准备”。
77.信息查找题。根据第四段中“When he selects news f the ther kind, he usually withdraws frm the wrld f threatening reality tward the dream wrld.” 此处填withdraw “退出,离开”。
78.归纳概括题。根据最后一段中“Fr example, a scilgist may … A cach may …A plitician may …”可知读者对新闻故事的期待很大程度上受他们职业的影响。此处填prfessin(s)“职业”/intentin“意图,动机”。
79.信息查找题。根据第四段中“When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself int the wrld f surrunding reality t which he can adapt himself nly by hard wrk.”可知此处填adapt“使适应”。
80.归纳概括题。根据最后一段中“while the divisin f categries hlds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any stry frm ne kind f reading t anther, r divide the experience between the tw kinds f reward.”可知这一分类取决于读者个体。此处填depends,和后面的介词n搭配“取决于”。

Six days a week, up and dwn the red hills f nrtheast Gergia, my grandfather brught the mail t the flks there. At age 68, he retired frm the pst ffice, but he never stpped serving the cmmunity.
On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, nting the things we all shuld be thankful fr — gd health, gd friends and gd utcmes. By mst measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time fr him t slw dwn. At lng last, in a cmfrtable hme, with a generus pensin, he shuld learn t take things easy.
“Thank yu fr yur nice wrds,” he wrte in his letter back, “and I knw what yu meant, but slwing dwn scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.”
“The finest and happiest years f ur lives were nt when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled int a cmfrtable hme. N.

But what I still can’t figure ut is why I never gt tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting fr survival, prtecting and prviding fr thse we lved. What matters are nt the great mments, but the partial victries, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the jurney, nt the arrival, that cunts.”
The letter ended with a persnal request: “By, n my next birthday, just tell me t wake up and get ging, because I will have ne less year t d things — and there are ten millin things waiting t be dne.”

Sme peple say that classical music is assciated nly with ld peple .Fr example, if yu lk at the audience at a classical cncert, the majrity is ver the age f fifty.
Others say it is mre ppular than we first imagine. Many yung peple listen t classical music withut realising. It is ften used in films and advertisements. Fr example, a famus piece f classical music was used as the theme music fr the 1990 Wrld Cup. Nt many peple culd have given its name, but millins enjyed it.
Als, sme peple pint ut that yung peple prduce new music based n classical ideas: fr example, it is said that rap(说唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is nw used by yung peple in pp music.
Hwever, yung peple pint t the fact that classical music has been utstripped(超越) by technlgy. T play a classical instrument, such as a vilin, yu need t study hard and practise fr hurs. Nwadays, yu dn’t need t get aching arms frm practising. A teenager can write and make music using a cmputer prgram in the cmfrt f their wn bedrm.
A final pint t in mind is that the term "classical music" is used t refer t a great variety f music, frm jazz t pieces fr large rchestras(管弦乐队). This makes it even mre difficult t say whether classical music is relevant t yung peple.
S, it may be nly a minrity f yung peple wh play classical instruments, but when it cmes t enjying classical music, it depends n the piece f music. It may be mre relevant t yung peple in the mdern wrld than they realise!

Many f us invest valuable time,energy and mney planning ur vacatins. We d this because we knw fr sure that ging n vacatins must be gd fr us. Research prves this feeling withut a dubt. Vacatins help us perfrm better at wrk, imprve ur sleep quality and cushin us against depressin.

Peple are scial creatures by nature, and s it is hardly surprising that part f their self-respect cmes frm the apprval f thers. This instinct (天性) is why the apprval f peers, r the fear f disapprval, is such a pwerful frce in many peple’s lives. It is the same instinct that drives peple t dress ne way at hme and anther way at wrk, r t answer “fine” when a stranger asks “hw are yu?” even if it is nt necessarily true. There is a practical aspect t this: it helps sciety t functin efficiently, and encurages a general level f self-discipline that simplifies day-t-day interactin.
Fr certain individuals, seeking scial acceptance is s imprtant that it becmes like an addictin; in rder t satisfy the desire, they may g s far as t abandn their sense f right and wrng.

试题分析:随着汽车价格的逐渐下降,公路状况越来越好,路上的汽车也就越来越多了。结果就使得公路亚重拥挤。本文就解决道路拥挤问题提出建议,如何才能让司机放弃开车选择公交。
[小题1] 根据第一段句子“ cst f a new car had fallen...和“ rad cnditins have als attracted mre drivers."可以与出答案为: The reduced lwered cst f a new car and better rad cnditins。
[小题 2]根据第二段句子“... the prblem might be relieved by getting them t park utside the them t the 可以与出答案 They shuld park utside the twn, and take the bus t the centre.
[小题3] 根据第三段最后一句“As the number f pepie did their incmes”可知,开车经过商场的人少商店的收入也就会随着减少。所以答案为 Their incmes drpped because fewer peple drve past。
[小题 4]根据第四段空格所在的句子“使开车费用增加也是一种方法”说明上文已经提到了解决什么问题的方法。根据第二段开头句子“When peple prblem might be relieved f getting them t park utside the twn.”可知,使开车的费用增加也是--种减轻交通拥挤问题的方法。因此可以写出答案 relieving the prblem( f ver crwding)。根据下文提到“rad taxes和“finding drivers”等两项费用问题可以促使更多的司机不开车,所以这也是一种鼓励司机不开车乘公交车的一种方法。因此可以写出答案 encuraging peple t use public transprt mre encuraging peple t use their cars less。

【2014年天津卷】Last December, Dris Lw turned 90. Once a week she still drives t the Canadian Natinal Institute fr the Blind (CNIB) in Trnt, where she helps transfrm literature int braille(盲文) t bring the pwer f stry and knwledge t the hears and minds f blind readers. She has been vlunteering her time and talents t such enterprises fe mre than 40 years.
After wrking in the business wrld fr a while, Lw gt fed up. S she turned t teaching at a technical schl and later mved int the library.
Lw’s mther liked reading. As her eyes began t fail, lw read t her. Then “hearing an advertisement encuraging peple t learn braille, I decided t give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing bks as a vlunteer fr the CNIB library.
The jb was strenuus — she culd get t the end f a page, make a mistake n the last line, and have t d the whle thing again. Fr a number f years, Lw als wrked in the CNIB sund studi reading bks nt tape. Three years ag, she tk up prfreading (校对) at the CNIB’s wrd factry.
In April, during Vlunteer Week, the CNIB recgnized Lw fr her great cntributins. Thanks t vlunteers like Lw, the CNIB library has gt mre than 80,000 accessible materials fr peple unable t read traditinal print. “I can’t imagine hw many readers f all ages have benefited frm Dris’s cntributin as a skilled vlunteer thrugh her rich vice and her high degree f accuracy in the hundreds f bks she has brailled and prfread ver the years — and she is still ding s,” said a CNIB fficial.
“Fr me,” said Lw, “the CNIB is mre than just a place t vlunteer. Three things matter mst in my life: a little play, a little wrk, a little lve. I’ve fund them all here.”
56. What des Lw still d at the age f 90 at the CNIB? ( n mre than 10 wrds)
57. Why did Lw learn braille? (n mre than 15 wrds)
58. What des the underlined wrd “strenuus” mst prbably mean?(1 wrd)
59. What are Lw’s cntributins t the CNIB? (n mre than 15 wrds)
60. What d yu think f Lw? Give yur reasns. (n mre than 20 wrds)
【答案】
56.She helps transfrm literature int Braille (fr blind readers/ the blind).
57. (Because) her mther’s eyes began t fail and she heard an/ the advertisement.
58. Difficult/Hard/tiring/tugh.
59.She has brailled and prfread hundreds f bks, and read bks int nt tape.
60.Lw is kind and helpful because she has devted much time t transcribing bks int Braille as a vlunteer.
Or: Lw is kind-hearted lady with a psitive attitude tward life because she takes delight in helping thers.
[文章大意] Dris Lw 到去年 12 月份就 90 岁了。但是她从事志愿者活动已经有 40年了。她的工作是把故事和口识传播给盲人读者通过吧文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文。有时还要读录成磁带。三年前她又从事校
对工作。这个工作很辛苦,但是她喜欢。
根据文童第一段第二句话可如,Lw 现在 90 岁仍然在 CAB 从事帮助把文学作品翻译成布莱叶盲文的工作, 所以回答She helps transfrm literature int Braille (fr blind readers the blind)。
57.根据文章第三段可知,因为她的妈妈喜欢阅读,但是她的视力变差了,而她也听到了一则鼓励人们学习布莱叶盲文的广告。所以回答(Because) her mther’s eyes began t fail and she heard an/ the advertisement.
58.第四段开头,破折号是对画线的词strenuus 的解释,都做到最后了,因为一个错误就必须从新做。所以strenuus的同义词是Difficult/Hard/tiring/tugh.(很累、很难。)
59.第五段介绍了 Lw 对CNIB的贡献:把很多书翻译成了布莱叶盲文、校对了数百本书籍还读书录成磁带。所以回答She has brailled and prfread hundreds f bks, and read bks int nt tape.
