主题语境:社会文化　语篇类型:议论文　词数: 364

难度:★★★★

It’s not easy feeling like you’re always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make.Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again.You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things right if you find mistakes.You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you.You seek to be socially perfect.

Academically,you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks.Although most would say “it’s good to have high standards”,they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection.If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as though you have failed,but you’re far from failing,you just don’t see it that way.So instead you are telling yourself that you’re stupid,and not smart.The pressure you place on yourself weighs you down and you wear the “not good enough” label each and every day.

You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others.If people don’t perform up to your expectations,then you think they are incompetent.This causes a lot of frustration because you can’t trust anyone to get things right.So instead of being a team player you fly solo (单飞) and try to do two or three jobs at once.Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other areas of your life.

The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it’s the unachievable American dream that’s damaging our emotional and mental health.We strive for perfection with our body,in our performance,and in our relationships.In a society that overstates mistakes, is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect? 

We all have flaws,fears,and make mistakes,and that’s perfectly OK.It’s our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger and more adaptable person.We don’t have to strive to achieve the impossible.We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文,通过对“完美主义者”的心态和做法的描述,向我们指出,完美是不可能实现的。正是我们的“不完美”使得我们的生活变得有趣,帮助我们成长。

1.What might be the most suitable title of the text?

A.Far From Failing

B.Perfectly Imperfect

C.Perfectionism Phenomenon

D.Unachievable American Dream

答案B

解析主旨大意题。文章通篇讨论完美主义者的心态和做法,并在最后一段得出结论“It’s our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us...We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.”由此可知,正是我们的“不完美”使得我们的生活变得有趣,帮助我们成为更强大且适应性更强的人,有些事情根本就是不可能实现的,不完美反而造就更好的我们,故选B项。

2.Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree?

A.Nobody is perfect.

B.Be generous with praise.

C.There is no best,only better.

D.A contented mind is an everlasting feast.

答案C

解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句中的“you wear the ‘not good enough’ label each and every day”可知,完美主义者总认为自己不够好。C项“没有最好,只有更好”,符合完美主义者的心态。故选C项。

3.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?

A.More and more people are tolerating mistakes.

B.The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.

C.Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.

D.It’s unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.

答案B

解析句意理解题。根据第四段中的“The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and...in our relationships.”可知,美国梦就是追求完美,这个无法实现的梦想正在破坏着我们的情感和心理健康。美国梦代表的是美国社会,而这个夸大错误、追求完美的社会对年轻人追求完美的行为产生了一定影响,所以这个社会应为完美主义负部分责任,故选B项。

4.What does the author think of imperfection?

A.It’s part of our life.

B.It’s unbearable.

C.It deserves to be overcome.

D.It does harm to our mental health.

答案A

解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,我们都有缺点、恐惧,都会犯错误,正是这些不完美使得我们的生活变得有趣,帮助我们成为更强大且适应性更强的人,所以它是我们生活的一部分,故选A项。

Four Tips for High School Graduates

Over three-million high school students are graduating this spring in the United States.Many of them will head to university in the fall.The transition (过渡) from high school to college is a major one,and successful adjustment to college has lifelong influences.

Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest.　1　 If you know someone who is making this transition or know parents guiding their soon-to-be adult kids through this time,please take a moment to share this collection of research-based tips with them. 

Be open to making new friends as soon as you set foot on the campus.Even during an orientation (迎新会)!　2　 Your success in college depends,in part,on surrounding yourself with others who can support you and help you have fun. 

　3　 Successful adjustment is about reaching out for help when you need it.This means trying to find the answers on your own first,but then contacting those who can help you when you can’t.That is what they are there for! 

Lean on your family.Family support can give you comfort when classes get hard or you are stressed about finals.　4　 Strong support from family is linked to lower loneliness and depression during the first year of college and higher academic adjustment including motivation and concentration. 

Be confident.Feeling anxiety about communicating with fellows,professors,and speaking up in class is associated with lower adaptation during the transition to college.One of the best ways to increase your communication confidence is to practice!　5　 

A.This list is for you.

B.The more you speak up in class,the easier it becomes.

C.Don’t be afraid to talk to your professors or teaching assistants.

D.Joining clubs is also linked to feelings of belonging at college.

E.Your professors and teaching assistants want to see you succeed in their classes.

F.Almost everyone is in the same boat as you are,hoping to make friends quickly.

G.Family members can give you advice and help you solve problems if you need help.

答案与解析

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。本文是为在美国的 300多万高中毕业生提出的四点建议。

1.A　根据上文的“Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest.”可知, A项中的 you 和前文相符,且语意(这份清单是给你的)能承接上下文。

2.F　根据“Be open to making new friends as soon as you set foot on the campus.(一踏进校园就开始结交新朋友)”可知,F项中的 make friends 和本段主旨句中的 making new friends构成同义复现,且符合语境。

3.C　分析句子结构可知,空处应为本段的主旨句,再根据下文内容可知,首先你要自己寻找答案,在你不能做到时去联系能帮助你的人。故C项可以概括下文,且下文“That is what they are there for!”中的they指代选项中的“your professors or teaching assistants”。

4.G　根据本段的第一句“Lean on your family.”可知, G项中的“Family members”与主旨句中的“your family”相呼应,且句意一致。

5.B　上文提到“在向大学过渡的过程中,对与同事、教授交流以及在课堂上发言感到焦虑与较低的适应能力有关。”由此可知,B项中的speak up和前文的speaking up 相呼应,且句意(你在课堂上讲得越多,就越容易。)联系上文。
