Oliver, the CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations at the C-suite level,
regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get
high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.
However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking
creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone else’ s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort.
While the CEO appreciated Oliver’s yield, she recognized he had to change his approach to keep the rest of
the team productive. In response, Oliver worked out a plan to help address his cooperation challenges using techniques many other executives had deployed.
When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the
recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of?” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point?” Surveying others to understand what’s helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.
24. What can we learn about Oliver?
A. He lacks creativity. B. He favours competition.
C. He works enthusiastically. D. He behaves irresponsibly.高二英语第 4 页 （共 12 页）
25. What is a result of Oliver’s over-participation?
A. The team generated more diverse ideas.
B. Oliver’s colleagues became less productive.
C. Group meetings were more time-consuming.
D. Oliver’s teammates were inspired to work harder.
26. What technique did Oliver employ to fix the issue?
A. Hearing others’ voices. B. Providing specific ideas.
C. Strengthening his leadership. D. Building strong relationships.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. When Leaders Fail to Keep the Team Productive
B. When Contributing Gets in the Way of Cooperating
C. How a Great Team Welcomes Ideas in a Discussion
D. How Active Participation Gives Rise to a Better Team
C
Both misinformation, which includes honest mistakes, and disinformation, which involves an intention to mislead, have had a growing impact on teenage students over the past 20 years. One tool that schools can use to deal with this problem is called media literacy education. The idea is to teach teenage students how to evaluate and think critically about the messages they receive. Yet there is profound disagreement about what to teach.
Some approaches teach students to distinguish the quality of the information in part by learning how
responsible journalism works. Yet some scholars argue that these methods overstate journalism and do little to cultivate critical thinking skills. Other approaches teach students methods for evaluating the credibility of news and information sources, in part by determining the incentive of those sources. They teach students to ask: What encouraged them to create it and why? But even if these approaches teach students specific skills well, some experts argue that determining credibility of the news is just the first step. Once students figure out if it’s true or false, what is the other assessment and the other analysis they need to do?
Worse still, some approaches to media literacy education not only don’t work but might actually backfire by
increasing students’ skepticism about the way the media work. Students may begin to read all kinds of immoral motives into everything. It is good to educate students to challenge their assumptions, but it’s very easy for students to go from healthy critical thinking to unhealthy skepticism and the idea that everyone is lying all the time.
To avoid these potential problems, broad approaches that help students develop mindsets in which they
become comfortable with uncertainty are in need. According to educational psychologist William Perry of Harvard高二英语第 5 页 （共 12 页）
University, students go through various stages of learning. First, children are black-and-white thinkers—they think there are right answers and wrong answers. Then they develop into relativists, realizing that knowledge can be contextual. This stage is the one where people can come to believe there is no truth. With media literacy education, the aim is to get students to the next level—that place where they can start to see and appreciate the fact that the world is messy, and that’s okay. They have these fundamental approaches to gathering knowledge that they can accept, but they still value uncertainty.
Schools still have a long way to go before they get there, though. Many more studies will be needed for
researchers to reach a comprehensive understanding of what works and what doesn’t over the long term.
“Education scholars need to take an ambitious step forward,” says Howard Schneider, director of the Center for News Literacy at Stony Brook University.
28. As for media literacy education, what is the author’s major concern?
A. How to achieve its goal. B. How to measure its progress.
C. How to avoid its side effects. D. How to promote its importance.
29. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Importance. B. Variety. C. Motivation. D. Benefit.
30. The author mentions stages of learning in Paragraph 4 mainly to________.
A. compare different types of thinking
B. evaluate students’ mind development
C. explain a theory of educational psychology
D. stress the need to raise students’ thinking levels
31. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Media Literacy Education: Much Still Remains
B. Media Literacy Education: Schools Are to Blame
C. Media Literacy Education: A Way to Identify False Information
D. Media Literacy Education: A Tool for Testing Critical Thinking
D
There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble in the World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too — that’s why it made Nov.16 “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) can give us some help. According
to him, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each高二英语第 6 页 （共 12 页）
other’s folly — that is the first law of nature.
Nobody’s perfect; when we’re tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with
ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe
the evils of which we’re speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should
women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason why we should be tolerant.
It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob
Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “All you got to do: give a little.” Or, as this older piece of wisdom says: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”
32. According to Voltaire, tolerance is _________.
A. being willing to express your love to others
B. trying to overcome your imperfections
C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups
D. accepting each other’s weaknesses
33. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?
A. Humans are advised to treat others better.
B. Humans learned to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others.
D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
34. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to _________.
A. giving things to others
B. forgiving others高二英语第 7 页 （共 12 页）
C. different attitudes toward love and hate
D. the fact that humans are imperfect
35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.
B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.
C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley’s song.
D. Effective ways to show tolerance.

I am not sure how many books I have reread, but perhaps it is fewer than the average person. ____36____ The source material, though, is of course not.
I used to take the same approach to books as I did to travel: don't go to the same place twice. Life is too short.
____37____Then I realized that the fact that life is short might work the other way around, too: if you know you enjoy something, or somewhere, then why not return?
Recently I reread Joseph Heller's Catch-22. I was inspired to do so when reminded of how he'd respond when
people rudely asked him why he'd never written anything as good: "Who has?"Catch-22 pretty much saved my life when I first read it.____38____I had dropped out of school twice, didn't leave the house at all and didn't have a life. It felt as though I hadn't laughed in such a long time.
____39____It managed to take me out of the dark world, and though its themes are, of course, serious, its
cleverness cheered me greatly. I related to its characters who are themselves trapped. I am now planning to reread
the sort of books that inspired me in my own writing.
I won't take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases. I love the smell of new books fresh from the printers.____40____
A Catch-22 had me laughing.
B. My favourites are secondhand editions.
C. There is discomfort in reading recently-released books.
D. At that time I was an extremely depressed 17-year-old.
E. For me, the pleasure of rereading is a newly discovered one.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The word "adolescence" literally means "growing up" （from the Latin adolescere）. ____41____, it describes
a distinct stage between childhood and adulthood, but in practice often simply defines the "teenage" years. In most Western societies, the idea of adolescence was not ____42____ until the 20th century; childhood ended and adulthood began at a certain age – typically at 18.
G. Stanley Hall, a psychologist and educator, in his 1904 book Adolescence, was the first to explore the
____43____. Hall was influenced by Darwin's theory of evolution, perceiving that all childhoods, especially with regard to behavior and early physical development, reflect the course of ____44____ change, and that we each develop in accordance with our "ancestral record".
One key influence on Hall was the 18th -century "Sturm and Drang" （Storm and Stress） movement of
German writers and musicians, which promoted total freedom of expression. Hall ____45____ adolescence as "Sturm and Drang"; he considered it a stage of emotional disturbance and rebellion, with behavior ranging from quiet moodiness to wild ____46____. He stated that adolescents "are eager for strong feelings and new sensations, while routine and detail are ____47____". Awareness of self and the environment greatly increases; everything is more ____48____ felt, and sensation is pursued for its own sake.
Many of Hall's findings are ____49____ in research today. Hall believed that adolescents are highly affected
by depression and described a "curve of despondency（消沉）" that starts at the age of 11, ____50____ at 15, then falls steadily until the age of 23. Modern research acknowledges a similar pattern. The causes of depression that Hall ____51____ are surprisingly familiar: suspicion of being disliked and having seemingly insuperable character faults, and "the ____52____ of hopeless love". He believed the self-consciousness of adolescence leads to criticizing self and others. This view mirrors later studies, which argue that teenagers' advanced ____53____ skills allow them to "read between the lines", while also intensifying their sensitivity to situations. Even Hall's claim that criminal activity is more common in the teenage years, reaching the top around 18, still ____54____.
However, Hall was not totally negative about adolescence. "Adolescence is a new ____55____," as he wrote in Youth: Its Education, Regiment, and Hygiene, "for the higher and more completely human qualities are how
born."

We set off at the Guangzhou train station and three days later, we arrived in Lhasa. The trip certainly took a

If there's one thing I can't stand people saying, it is "I'm no good at anything...I don't have any talent."I just
don't buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn't believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 1953.
At that time I was a high school student. I was a funny-looking skinny boy named Eugene Orowitz, who
weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn't found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school's running track. The teacher taught us all various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin(标枪).Suddenly something
inside me began saying, "Try it! Try it!” I had to wait my turn, though, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw-the best throw going about 30 yards-I looked at the teacher.
＂Hey, Orowitz, you want to try?" he asked.
Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.
＂Well, come on then," he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my高二英语第 11 页 （共 12 页）
classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling-a new-found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I'd never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me to throw it, now told me it was a good throw.
Paragraph 1:
I watched as the javelin took off. My heart quickened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2:
That night I took the javelin home with me.

Oliver, the CTO of a high-tech company, loved to participate in all conversations at the C-suite level,
regardless of topic. He was often the first to raise his hand for a project, appeared to have infinite capacity to get
high-quality work done, and offered to assist his peers and direct reports. Oliver seemed to be all-in; optimistic, energetic, supportive, and someone who constituted to everyone.
However, the more Oliver participated, the more others around him were slighted. Instead of sparking
creatively in others, his ideas outshone everyone else’ s. He consumed time speaking in meetings, exhausting the oxygen level in the room. Oliver felt pumped up by how many of his ideas had been deployed but frustrated by others’ lack of sufficient effort.
While the CEO appreciated Oliver’s yield, she recognized he had to change his approach to keep the rest of
the team productive. In response, Oliver worked out a plan to help address his cooperation challenges using techniques many other executives had deployed.
When we over-participate, we believe that we're being helpful. However, “helpfulness” is defined by the
recipient, not the giver. Instead of improving his relationships with colleagues, Oliver robbed them of fulfillment by furnishing masses of ideas. They felt discouraged, interrupted, and excluded. To fix the issue, Oliver learned the value of asking two specific questions before offering his own ideas: “What have you thought of?” and “What would be most helpful for you at this point?” Surveying others to understand what’s helpful illuminates better avenues for our contribution: directly through our ideas, through coaching colleagues to create their own, or by building on what someone else has generated.
24. What can we learn about Oliver?
A. He lacks creativity. B. He favours competition.
C. He works enthusiastically. D. He behaves irresponsibly.高二英语第 4 页 （共 12 页）
25. What is a result of Oliver’s over-participation?
A. The team generated more diverse ideas.
B. Oliver’s colleagues became less productive.
C. Group meetings were more time-consuming.
D. Oliver’s teammates were inspired to work harder.
26. What technique did Oliver employ to fix the issue?
A. Hearing others’ voices. B. Providing specific ideas.
C. Strengthening his leadership. D. Building strong relationships.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. When Leaders Fail to Keep the Team Productive
B. When Contributing Gets in the Way of Cooperating
C. How a Great Team Welcomes Ideas in a Discussion
D. How Active Participation Gives Rise to a Better Team

Both misinformation, which includes honest mistakes, and disinformation, which involves an intention to mislead, have had a growing impact on teenage students over the past 20 years. One tool that schools can use to deal with this problem is called media literacy education. The idea is to teach teenage students how to evaluate and think critically about the messages they receive. Yet there is profound disagreement about what to teach.
Some approaches teach students to distinguish the quality of the information in part by learning how
responsible journalism works. Yet some scholars argue that these methods overstate journalism and do little to cultivate critical thinking skills. Other approaches teach students methods for evaluating the credibility of news and information sources, in part by determining the incentive of those sources. They teach students to ask: What encouraged them to create it and why? But even if these approaches teach students specific skills well, some experts argue that determining credibility of the news is just the first step. Once students figure out if it’s true or false, what is the other assessment and the other analysis they need to do?
Worse still, some approaches to media literacy education not only don’t work but might actually backfire by
increasing students’ skepticism about the way the media work. Students may begin to read all kinds of immoral motives into everything. It is good to educate students to challenge their assumptions, but it’s very easy for students to go from healthy critical thinking to unhealthy skepticism and the idea that everyone is lying all the time.
To avoid these potential problems, broad approaches that help students develop mindsets in which they
become comfortable with uncertainty are in need. According to educational psychologist William Perry of Harvard高二英语第 5 页 （共 12 页）
University, students go through various stages of learning. First, children are black-and-white thinkers—they think there are right answers and wrong answers. Then they develop into relativists, realizing that knowledge can be contextual. This stage is the one where people can come to believe there is no truth. With media literacy education, the aim is to get students to the next level—that place where they can start to see and appreciate the fact that the world is messy, and that’s okay. They have these fundamental approaches to gathering knowledge that they can accept, but they still value uncertainty.
Schools still have a long way to go before they get there, though. Many more studies will be needed for
researchers to reach a comprehensive understanding of what works and what doesn’t over the long term.
“Education scholars need to take an ambitious step forward,” says Howard Schneider, director of the Center for News Literacy at Stony Brook University.
28. As for media literacy education, what is the author’s major concern?
A. How to achieve its goal. B. How to measure its progress.
C. How to avoid its side effects. D. How to promote its importance.
29. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Importance. B. Variety. C. Motivation. D. Benefit.
30. The author mentions stages of learning in Paragraph 4 mainly to________.
A. compare different types of thinking
B. evaluate students’ mind development
C. explain a theory of educational psychology
D. stress the need to raise students’ thinking levels
31. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Media Literacy Education: Much Still Remains
B. Media Literacy Education: Schools Are to Blame
C. Media Literacy Education: A Way to Identify False Information
D. Media Literacy Education: A Tool for Testing Critical Thinking
D
There’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble in the World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too — that’s why it made Nov.16 “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) can give us some help. According
to him, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each高二英语第 6 页 （共 12 页）
other’s folly — that is the first law of nature.
Nobody’s perfect; when we’re tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.
Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with
ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.
It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe
the evils of which we’re speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.
But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should
women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason why we should be tolerant.
It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob
Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “All you got to do: give a little.” Or, as this older piece of wisdom says: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”
32. According to Voltaire, tolerance is _________.
A. being willing to express your love to others
B. trying to overcome your imperfections
C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups
D. accepting each other’s weaknesses
33. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?
A. Humans are advised to treat others better.
B. Humans learned to find faults in others.
C. Humans need to give something to others.
D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.
34. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to _________.
A. giving things to others
B. forgiving others高二英语第 7 页 （共 12 页）
C. different attitudes toward love and hate
D. the fact that humans are imperfect
35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.
B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.
C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley’s song.
D. Effective ways to show tolerance.

I am not sure how many books I have reread, but perhaps it is fewer than the average person. ____36____ The source material, though, is of course not.
I used to take the same approach to books as I did to travel: don't go to the same place twice. Life is too short.
____37____Then I realized that the fact that life is short might work the other way around, too: if you know you enjoy something, or somewhere, then why not return?
Recently I reread Joseph Heller's Catch-22. I was inspired to do so when reminded of how he'd respond when
people rudely asked him why he'd never written anything as good: "Who has?"Catch-22 pretty much saved my life when I first read it.____38____I had dropped out of school twice, didn't leave the house at all and didn't have a life. It felt as though I hadn't laughed in such a long time.
____39____It managed to take me out of the dark world, and though its themes are, of course, serious, its
cleverness cheered me greatly. I related to its characters who are themselves trapped. I am now planning to reread
the sort of books that inspired me in my own writing.
I won't take a break altogether from reading the most recent releases. I love the smell of new books fresh from the printers.____40____
A Catch-22 had me laughing.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The word "adolescence" literally means "growing up" （from the Latin adolescere）. ____41____, it describes
a distinct stage between childhood and adulthood, but in practice often simply defines the "teenage" years. In most Western societies, the idea of adolescence was not ____42____ until the 20th century; childhood ended and adulthood began at a certain age – typically at 18.
G. Stanley Hall, a psychologist and educator, in his 1904 book Adolescence, was the first to explore the
____43____. Hall was influenced by Darwin's theory of evolution, perceiving that all childhoods, especially with regard to behavior and early physical development, reflect the course of ____44____ change, and that we each develop in accordance with our "ancestral record".
One key influence on Hall was the 18th -century "Sturm and Drang" （Storm and Stress） movement of
German writers and musicians, which promoted total freedom of expression. Hall ____45____ adolescence as "Sturm and Drang"; he considered it a stage of emotional disturbance and rebellion, with behavior ranging from quiet moodiness to wild ____46____. He stated that adolescents "are eager for strong feelings and new sensations, while routine and detail are ____47____". Awareness of self and the environment greatly increases; everything is more ____48____ felt, and sensation is pursued for its own sake.
Many of Hall's findings are ____49____ in research today. Hall believed that adolescents are highly affected
by depression and described a "curve of despondency（消沉）" that starts at the age of 11, ____50____ at 15, then falls steadily until the age of 23. Modern research acknowledges a similar pattern. The causes of depression that Hall ____51____ are surprisingly familiar: suspicion of being disliked and having seemingly insuperable character faults, and "the ____52____ of hopeless love". He believed the self-consciousness of adolescence leads to criticizing self and others. This view mirrors later studies, which argue that teenagers' advanced ____53____ skills allow them to "read between the lines", while also intensifying their sensitivity to situations. Even Hall's claim that criminal activity is more common in the teenage years, reaching the top around 18, still ____54____.
However, Hall was not totally negative about adolescence. "Adolescence is a new ____55____," as he wrote in Youth: Its Education, Regiment, and Hygiene, "for the higher and more completely human qualities are how
born."

If there's one thing I can't stand people saying, it is "I'm no good at anything...I don't have any talent."I just
don't buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, it does exist. There was a time when I didn't believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 1953.
At that time I was a high school student. I was a funny-looking skinny boy named Eugene Orowitz, who
weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn't found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school's running track. The teacher taught us all various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin(标枪).Suddenly something
inside me began saying, "Try it! Try it!” I had to wait my turn, though, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throw-the best throw going about 30 yards-I looked at the teacher.
＂Hey, Orowitz, you want to try?" he asked.
Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.
＂Well, come on then," he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my高二英语第 11 页 （共 12 页）
classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling-a new-found excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I'd never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me to throw it, now told me it was a good throw.
Paragraph 1:
I watched as the javelin took off. My heart quickened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2:
That night I took the javelin home with me.
