MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE (避难所); I find reflective islatin in it. I have seven children, s ur huse is a scene f lively cnfusin. Fr a lng time, I guarded this place f peace and quiet. When the children fllwed me int the garden, I wuld hand ut chres. “Here: yu weed the beans, yu water the nins.” Sn they wuld be ht r their backs wuld hurt frm bending ver, and they wuld leave me t myself.
Then ne day, I was trying t prepare the sil, and I hnestly wasn’t enjying my time f peace and lneliness. My 13-year-ld sn, Jsiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping. Wrking as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in n time at all. I thanked Jsiah, realizing that I had enjyed his cmpany.
The same thing happened with picking up rcks and planting the seeds — ne r tw f the children wuld appear t watch and then participate. Each time, I wuld feel surprised t find the wrk was lighter fr their help, and their laughter made time pass faster. S I stpped resenting their cmpany and instead I began t share my gardening secrets. As spring became summer and the real wrk began, I expected the children t disappear, but n, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking fr insects.
One day I slipped ut by myself t the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicin that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked alng the rw, a little vice piped up behind me. “What are yu eating, Mama?”
Abby’s big blue eyes sparkled as I shwed her hw t pull the strings ff and pp (剥出) the peas int her muth. She just lved hw tasty they were. Then my sweet seven-year-ld girl put me t shame. “Mama, I’ve gt t pick a bunch. Wn’ t the thers lve them? I can’t wait t share.”
I realized hw selfish I had been. I’d tried t keep the jys f gardening t myself, and here was a child wh culdn’t wait t share with her brthers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, hney, let’s pick sme and I’ll shw yu hw t prepare them. We’ll make the mst wnderful supper.”
4. Why did the writer ask her children t d chres whenever they were in the garden?
A. She didn’t want t d all the wrk n her wn.
B. She intended t shw the hard labr f gardening.
C. She didn’t want them t get hurt r get t tired.
D. She was determined t keep the garden t herself.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述作者与孩子们在花园中的互动经历，展现了作者从独自享受花园的宁静到与孩子们分享园艺乐趣的心路历程。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE (避难所);I find reflective islatin in it. I have seven children, s ur huse is a scene f lively cnfusin. Fr a lng time, I guarded this place f peace and quiet. When the children fllwed me int the garden, I wuld hand ut chres. “Here: yu weed the beans, yu water the nins.” Sn they wuld be ht r their backs wuld hurt frm bending ver, and they wuld leave me t myself.(我的花园是我的避难所，我在其中找到了反思与独处的空间。我有七个孩子，所以我们的家总是充满喧嚣与混乱。很长一段时间里，我都守护着这片宁静之地。当孩子们跟着我走进花园时，我就会给他们分配家务活。“你来：给豆子除草，你给洋葱浇水。”很快，他们就会因为天气炎热或弯腰劳作而背痛，然后他们就会离开，让我独自享受这片宁静)”可知，每次孩子们在花园里时，作者都会让他们做家务活，目的是为了把孩子支开从而独享花园的宁静。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I have seven children, s ur huse is a scene f lively cnfusin.(我有七个孩子，所以我们的家总是充满喧嚣与混乱)”可知，作者的孩子很吵闹；再根据文章第三段“Each time, I wuld feel surprised t find the wrk was lighter fr their help, and their laughter made time pass faster.(每次，我都会惊讶地发现，有了他们的帮助，工作变得轻松多了，他们的笑声也让时间流逝得更快)”以及“As spring became summer and the real wrk began, I expected the children t disappear, but n, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking fr insects.(随着春天变成夏天，真正的农活开始了，我以为孩子们会消失得无影无踪，但没有，他们还在那里，浇水、除草、检查害虫)”可知，作者的孩子们非常活泼有爱。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线单词上文“Each time, I wuld feel surprised t find the wrk was lighter fr their help, and their laughter made time pass faster.(每次，我都会惊讶地发现，有了他们的帮助，工作变得轻松多了，他们的笑声也让时间流逝得更快)”及下文“instead I began t share my gardening secrets(反而开始与他们分享我的园艺秘诀)”可推测，作者开始不讨厌孩子们的陪伴，而且还开始分享自己的园艺秘诀。因此，划线词resent为“不喜欢、怨恨”之意。选项A“dislike (不喜欢)”；选项B“expect (期待)”；选项C“keep (保持)”；选项D“sacrifice (牺牲)”。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I realized hw selfish I had been. I’d tried t keep the jys f gardening t myself, and here was a child wh culdn’t wait t share with her brthers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, hney, let’s pick sme and I’ll shw yu hw t prepare them. We’ll make the mst wnderful supper.”(我意识到自己有多自私。我一直想把园艺乐趣留给自己，而这里有个孩子迫不及待地想和她的兄弟姐妹分享。我强忍住泪水说：“当然，亲爱的，我们摘一些吧，我来教你如何准备。我们会做出最美味的晚餐。”)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者原本独自享受花园的宁静和独处时光，后来作者逐渐发现与孩子们一起园艺也有乐趣。于是作者开始享受与孩子们一起分享花园的时光。因此，作者试图用这个故事告诉读者的是：与家人或朋友分享时，一切都感觉更美好。这既体现了作者从独享到分享的情感变化，也传达了分享带来的积极情感体验。故选C。
C
Wild animals are equipped with a variety f techniques t avid becming lunch fr a bigger animal, als knwn as a predatr (捕食者) in nature. The mst well-knwn methds include the classic fight and flight as well as freeze.
A team f researchers wndered whether clseness t peple might impact thse survival strategies. “We ften see that animals are mre tlerant arund us in urban areas, but we dn’t really knw why.” says evlutinary bilgist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear f us and that leads t tlerance? Or can there be an evlutinary factr invlved?”
T find ut, Blumstein and his clleagues cmbined infrmatin frm 173 studies f ver 100 species, including mammals, birds, fish and even mllusks. It turns ut that regardless f evlutinary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way t life amng humans: they lse their anti-predatr characteristics. That pattern is especially prnunced fr plant-eating animals and fr scial species. This behaviral change is perhaps unsurprising when it’s intentinal, the result f dmesticatin r cntrlled breeding. But it turns ut that urbanizatin alne results in a similar change, thugh arund three times mre slwly.
The main pint is: we’re essentially dmesticating animals by urbanizatin. We’re selecting fr the same srts f characteristics that we wuld if we were actually trying t dmesticate them. If the urbanizatin prcess helps animals better c-exist with peple, it culd be t their benefit. But if it makes them mre defenseless t their nnhuman predatrs, it culd be a real prblem. Either way, these results, mean that city living has enugh f an influence n wild animals that evlutinary prcesses kick in. Thse reductins in anti-predatr characteristics becme encded in their genes. We’re changing the ppulatin genetics ne way r anther.
What the researchers nw wnder is whether the mere presence f turists in less urbanized areas can cause similar changes in wild animals. If s, serius questins exist fr the idea f ethical, welfare-riented ec-turism. If we wish t help animals keep their anti-predatr defenses, the researchers say, we might have t intentinally expse animals t predatrs. It’s just yet ne ther way that we’re changing the wrld arund us.
8. The research led by Blumstein is aimed at ______.
A. determining hw animals’ survival is impacted by individual plasticity
B. studying hw living amng humans affects animals’ survival strategies
C. cmparing the effectiveness f different survival techniques
D. finding ut which evlutinary factr impacts animals’ survival methds
9. Which f the fllwing practices may cntribute t animals lsing anti-predatr characteristics?
A. Cntrlled breeding f animals.B. Banning the peratin f ec-turism.
C. Planned selectin f favrable genes.D. Eliminating dmesticatin.
10. Which f the fllwing statements is Blumstein likely t agree with?
A. Urbanizatin has made wild animals mre alert.
B. Urbanizatin has brught cncrete benefits t animals.
C. City living has led t animals’ genetic variatins.
D City living has helped t preserve animal species.
11. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T amuse peple with recent interesting scientific findings.
B. T remind peple t help animals survive in a crrect way.
C. T prmte ec-turism in cities arund the wrld.
D. T warn peple f the danger f animal presence in cities.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍一项关于野生动物与人类接近性对其生存策略影响的研究，向读者普及了相关的生物学知识和进化理论。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A team f researchers wndered whether clseness t peple might impact thse survival strategies. “We ften see that animals are mre tlerant arund us in urban areas, but we dn’t really knw why.” says evlutinary bilgist Dan Blumstein. “Is it individual plasticity, meaning individuals change their fear f us and that leads t tlerance? Or can there be an evlutinary factr invlved?”(一组研究人员想知道与人的亲近度是否会影响那些生存策略。“我们经常看到动物在城市地区对我们更加容忍，但我们并不真正知道原因。”进化生物学家Dan Blumstein说，“这是个体可塑性的表现，即个体改变了对我们的恐惧，从而变得更加容忍？还是可能涉及进化因素？”)”可知，Dan Blumstein领导的研究旨在研究生活在人类中对动物生存策略的影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It turns ut that regardless f evlutinary ancestry, the animals react in a similar way t life amng humans: they lse their anti-predatr characteristics. That pattern is especially prnunced fr plant-eating animals and fr scial species. This behaviral change is perhaps unsurprising when it’s intentinal, the result f dmesticatin r cntrlled breeding.(事实证明，无论进化祖先如何，动物对人类生活中的反应方式都是相似的：它们失去了反捕食者特性。这种模式在食草动物和社会性物种中尤为明显。当这种行为变化是有意为之时，比如驯化或受控繁殖的结果，这一点或许并不令人惊讶)”可知，控制繁殖可能导致动物失去反捕食者特性。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“If the urbanizatin prcess helps animals better c-exist with peple, it culd be t their benefit. But if it makes them mre defenseless t their nnhuman predatrs, it culd be a real prblem. Either way, these results, mean that city living has enugh f an influence n wild animals that evlutinary prcesses kick in. Thse reductins in anti-predatr characteristics becme encded in their genes. We’re changing the ppulatin genetics ne way r anther.(如果城市化进程有助于动物更好地与人类共存，那么这对它们来说可能是有益的。但如果这使它们在面对非人类捕食者时更加无力自卫，那么这可能是一个真正的问题。无论哪种方式，这些结果都意味着城市生活对野生动物的影响足够大，以至于启动了进化过程。这些反捕食者特性的减少被编码在它们的基因中。我们正以某种方式改变着种群的遗传学)”可知，研究表明城市生活可能会导致动物的遗传变异。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章开头提到了Dan Blumstein领导的一项研究，该研究关注的是城市化对野生动物生存策略的影响。接下来文章详细描述了这项研究的内容、方法和一些初步的发现。然后，文章进一步探讨了这种影响可能带来的后果。由此可知，文章通过介绍城市化对野生动物的影响，以及这种影响可能带来的后果，实际上是在提醒人们关注这个问题，并思考如何以正确的方式帮助动物生存。故选B。
D
When evaluating peple n varius psychlgical tests, psychlgists ften distinguish between markers f abslute perfrmance and relative perfrmance. Abslute perfrmance reflects the raw measurement f smething, like the time it takes t run a mile. Relative perfrmance is hw a persn rates in relatin t their peers, as in what place a runner gets in a race.
The standards we use t evaluate urselves are almst always relative, as we cmpare urselves t ur peers and the standards that are mst familiar t us. Our cnscius recgnitin f these peers and nrms is what sets ur expectatins, shaping ur self-image and happiness. What’s interesting abut the relative cmparisns that mst f us make is that in whatever area f life we cnsider — fr example, ur highest level f educatin — it’s nt hw we fare (成功) in cmparisn t the rest f the wrld that seems t matter mst, but rather hw we cmpare t ur clsest peers.
Fr instance, in my private practice, I have ne patient I will call “Omar” wh is dependent n scial services and makes less than $30,000 per year at his jb. While this level f pverty wuld lead mst peple t wake up depressed each day, Omar is ne f the mst ptimistic and appreciative individuals I knw. Why? Because mst f his clsest peers — his siblings and friends frm childhd — have lives far wrse than his.
In cntrast t Omar, I have anther patient, an adlescent I’ll call “Lena”, whse family has prperty ver $5 millin. Lena, hwever, lives in an upper-class neighbrhd where her family is at the lwer end f the incme level. Thugh Lena’ s family allws her t enjy pssessins and experiences that less than 1 percent f her peers acrss the wrld can share, she cnsistently feels “less than”. Why? Because Lena desn’t cmpare herself t the rest f the wrld; this is t abstract an exercise fr her, as it wuld be fr mst f us.
Accrdingly, whether a psychlgist is psychdynamic r cgnitive-behaviral, therapy (疗法) with individuals struggling with situatinal r psychlgical depressin aims t slve the prblems assciated with basing ne’s self-wrth n cmparisns with thers. Psychlgists try t help peple fcus n persnal grwth arund the achievement f cncrete gals in line with their values independent f the achievement f thers. Fr all f us, defining these gals, especially during perids f emtinal calm, can g a lng way in helping us t avid the trap f relativity that ften leads t situatinal and psychlgical depressin.
12. In writing Paragraph 1, the authr aims t ______.
A. shw the significance f evaluating peple.
B. mtivate readers t study psychlgical tests.
C. help peple perfrm well in psychlgical tests
D. prvide sme backgrund infrmatin n evaluating peple.
13. Why des the authr mentin his tw patients?
A. T measure different achievement.
B. T intrduce the standards t evaluate peple.
C. T explain relative perfrmance with examples.
D. T cntrast relative perfrmance and abslute perfrmance.
14. What message des the last paragraph cnvey?
A. Setting gals in life is essential fr everyne.
B. It’s imprtant t avid unhealthy cmparisns.
C. A sense f achievement can affect ne’s happiness.
D. Imprving self-wrth can help get rid f depressin.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Happiness: Is it all relative?B. Happiness: Is it assciated with achievement?
C. Self-wrth: Is it based n effrts?D. Self-wrth: Is it measurable?
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕心理学家在评估人们时如何区分绝对表现和相对表现这一主题展开，探讨了相对比较对个人自我认知、幸福感以及心理健康的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When evaluating peple n varius psychlgical tests, psychlgists ften distinguish between markers f abslute perfrmance and relative perfrmance. Abslute perfrmance reflects the raw measurement f smething, like the time it takes t run a mile. Relative perfrmance is hw a persn rates in relatin t their peers, as in what place a runner gets in a race.(在通过各种心理测试评估人们时，心理学家通常会区分绝对表现和相对表现这两个指标。绝对表现反映的是某项指标的原始测量值，比如跑一英里所需的时间。而相对表现则是指一个人相对于同龄人的表现，比如在比赛中获得的名次)”可知，第一段首先提到在通过各种心理测试评估人们时，心理学家通常会区分绝对表现和相对表现这两个指标。然后该段落对这两个概念进行了简单的解释和举例说明。因此第一段的主要目的是为读者提供一些关于评估人的背景信息，特别是关于心理学家在评估过程中使用的两个重要指标：绝对表现和相对表现。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Fr instance, in my private practice, I have ne patient I will call “Omar” wh is dependent n scial services and makes less than $30,000 per year at his jb.(例如，在我的私人诊所中，我有一位患者，我称他为“奥马尔”，他依赖社会服务，每年的工作收入不到3万美元)”以及“Because mst f his clsest peers— his siblings and friends frm childhd— have lives far wrse than his.(因为他的大多数最亲近的同龄人——他的兄弟姐妹和儿时的朋友——的生活都比他糟糕得多)”可知，第三段介绍了作者的病人奥马尔，奥马尔虽然收入低，但因为他的大多数最亲近的同龄人的生活都比他糟糕得多，所以他很乐观。再根据第四段“In cntrast t Omar, I have anther patient, an adlescent I’ll call “Lena”, whse family has prperty ver $5 millin.(与奥马尔形成鲜明对比的是，我还有另一位患者，一个青少年，我称她为“莉娜”，她的家庭财产超过500万美元)”以及“Because Lena desn’t cmpare herself t the rest f the wrld; this is t abstract an exercise fr her, as it wuld be fr mst f us.(因为莉娜不会将自己与世界其他地方的人进行比较；这对她来说太抽象了，对我们大多数人来说也是如此)”可知，第三段介绍了另一个病人莉娜，莉娜虽然家庭财产丰富，但在她所处的上流社会街区中，她的家庭收入处于较低端，因此她总是觉得自己“不如别人”。由此可知，作者通过描述两位患者的不同心态和背景，来具体说明相对表现的概念，即一个人相对于同龄人的表现如何。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Accrdingly, whether a psychlgist is psychdynamic r cgnitive-behaviral, therapy (疗法) with individuals struggling with situatinal r psychlgical depressin aims t slve the prblems assciated with basing ne’s self-wrth n cmparisns with thers. Psychlgists try t help peple fcus n persnal grwth arund the achievement f cncrete gals in line with their values independent f the achievement f thers.(因此，无论是心理动力学还是认知行为学派的心理学家，对于那些因情境或心理抑郁而困扰的个体的治疗，都旨在解决将自我价值建立在与他人比较之上的问题。心理学家试图帮助人们关注个人成长，围绕符合其自身价值观的具体目标的实现，而不是依赖于他人的成就)”可知，心理学家的目标之一是帮助人们避免将自我价值建立在与他人的比较上，本段表达了避免不健康的比较是很重要的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章首先介绍了心理学家在评估人们时如何区分绝对表现和相对表现，并通过具体例子解释了相对表现的概念。接着，文章探讨了相对比较对个人自我认知、幸福感以及心理健康的影响，特别是如何通过避免不健康的比较来提高个人的幸福感和心理健康。由此可知，选项A“Happiness: Is it all relative?(幸福：一切都是相对的吗？)” 准确概括了文章的主题和核心内容，即相对比较如何影响个人的幸福感和心理健康。故选A。

①由第一段首句内容“有一天，我在那附近，做了一个重大决定。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定要送给老太太送一架钢琴，但是作者每月都能收到老太太支付的十美元。
②由第二段首句内容“20年后，我坐在酒吧里，听到身后最美妙的钢琴声。”可知，第二段可描写作者听到了最美妙的钢琴声，这正是老太太的孙女所弹奏的。
2.续写线索：做决定——送钢琴——每月收到10美元——听到最美妙的钢琴——一位年轻的女士在弹奏——发现这位女士是老太太的孙女——作者很高兴自己当时做了那个决定
