A

We’ve all seen it, perhaps without even noticing it — the diamond-shaped patch (补丁) on backpacks that seems, at best, someone’s strange idea of a design feature. But it proves that the patch is actually very useful for staying organised.
The slotted (有开槽的) patch, which is typically found on the front of backpacks, is called a “lash tab”, and is made to hold your spare clothing on ropes. For hikers and backpackers, that might mean hanging items that you often reach for, such as a water bottle, and for employees carrying a backpack to the office, it might mean hanging headphones or electronic chargers through the slot for easy access.
Lash tabs once appeared only on backpacks created for adventures in the great outdoors, but in recent years it has become an important part on a variety of backpack styles. The blog Carryology reports that lash tabs were once a “leather patch that let you pass a bit of webbing through it to fasten items to your pack”. Since then, the tabs have been adapted using many different styles and materials.
If your backpack comes without the tabs and now you don’t know how you’ll live without them, you’ll be relieved to learn that the styling of lash tabs has become so popular that you can now purchase your own and attach them to your favourite backpack.
The tab can also prove useful for travellers, as you can even thread the laces of shoes through the tab to let them hang off your pack, giving you extra space in your checked luggage or carry-on.
16. According to the passage, some backpacks have lash tabs to _________.
A. carry more items B. look more beautiful
C. show a design feature D. draw people’s attention
17. From the passage, we can learn that lash tabs _________.
A. are designed only for outdoor adventurers
B. have been developed into various styles
C. can be designed by the users
D. are all made of leather
18. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To offer comments. B. To give advice.
C. To make recommendations. D. To provide information.
B

When senior leaders at toymaker Lego first learned that adults were buying large quantities of their plastic bricks and getting together to build Lego creations of their own, “they thought it was very strange,” says Smith-Meyer.
“Before the late 1990s, the company didn’t think their adult fans had value,” says Smith-Meyer. “Leadership actually thought adults were having a negative impact on the brand.” Thanks to a handful of employees who worked to change attitudes inside the company, gone are the days when labels on Lego boxes stated that the contents were appropriate only for children ages 7 to 12. Lego’s newest marketing motto is “Adults Welcome.”
Today Lego is the world’s largest and most profitable toymaker. The enthusiasm and buying power of adult fans of Lego played a major role in the company’s rise to the top. But insiders say the road from “kids only” to “adults welcome” was a long, uphill climb.
Lego founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen always knew he wanted to market his products completely to kids. When Kristiansen started The Lego Group in 1932, he made wooden toys that were intended for children. In 1946, he began making plastic toys. In 1958, he and his son developed the first coupling bricks, the basic design of which hasn’t changed much over the years. They’re even used together with bricks made today.
As the company grew over its first six decades, few imagined that its products could attract as many adults as children. Then attitudes began to shift in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Lego posted its first-ever loss in 1998. By 2003, when it reported a $238 million loss, the company was looking seriously at bankruptcy(破产). “Those were Lego’s dark days,” McKee says.
In the wake of the crisis, “Everyone suddenly wanted to see what designs I’d been working on with adult fans,” McKee says. In August 2005, when Lego CEO Jorgen Vig Knudstorp attended a fan meeting, he saw for himself the sea of adult supporters. “I see a future where we will be working more closely together,” he recalls. The booming partnership would eventually produce some of the company’s most popular and profitable themes, including Lego Creator and Lego’s Ambassador Network, and the company’s first-ever official fan conference: 2021’s Lego Con.
“Lego used to treat their adult customers like goods; today, they treat them like partners,” McKee says.
19. What did Ole Kirk Kristiansen do in 1932?
A. He developed the first coupling bricks. B. He and his son invented wooden toys.
C. He began making plastic toys. D. He set up his toy company.
20. Lego changed its attitude towards its adult fans when the company ________.
A. was faced with a business crisis B. started treating them like goods
C. got financial support from them D. found its products less attractive to kids
21. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Lego was forced to replace wooden toys with plastic ones.
B. Lego’s basic design of the first coupling bricks are still in use.
C. Lego’s partnership with gifted kids produced popular themes.
D. Lego has targeted adults as potential customers since it was founded.
22. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The world’s largest and most profitable toymaker.
B. Lego’s shift from “kids only” to “adults welcome”.
C. Lego’s dark days of the creation of plastic toys.
D. The brief but awesome history of Lego.
C
Many children’s hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aim to cheer up patients. But new research suggests that storytelling also has physiological benefits. “Until now, the positive evidence for storytelling was based on ‘common sense’ that interacting with the child may distract, entertain and reduce psychological suffering,” said Dr Jorge Moll, of D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), Brazil. “But there was a lack of a solid scientific basis.”
“During storytelling, something happens that we call ‘narrative transportation’. The child, through fantasy, can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world, a place that is different from the hospital room, and is, therefore, far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization,” says Guilherme Brockington.
The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in São Paulo. A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller, lasting 25 to 30 minutes. A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals, but they told riddles instead. Before and after the sessions, the team took saliva samples from each child and assessed their pain level. The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol, which is related to stress, and the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in empathy.
Both groups of children benefited from the sessions: they all had less cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva suggesting they were less stressed, and they reported less pain and discomfort. However, the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group. At the end of the sessions, the children also took part in a word-association exercise including words like ‘hospital’, ‘nurse’ and ‘doctor’. The team said that children from the control group said “this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection” in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse, while the storytelling group said “this is the woman who comes to cure me”.
“I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in, due to its potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment, aiming at the relief of human suffering. We intend to support volunteering devoted to the noble activity of storytelling, now with more solid scientific evidence,” said Moll.
23. According to the passage, “narrative transportation” indicates children _______.
A. feel that they are placed into the world of a story
B. fire up their imagination and expand their horizons
C. have more empathy with the characters in the stories
D. experience the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization
24. In Para.3, the author mainly tells the readers about _______.
A. the application of the research B. the purpose of the research
C. the limitation of the research D. the process of the research
25. How does the author present the findings of the research?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving definitions.
C. By presenting examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
26. Which of the following may be the response from the storytelling group?
A A hospital is the place where I go when I’m very sick.
B. A hospital is the place where I get an injection in my arm.
C. A hospital is the place where I am taken care of to feel better.
D. A hospital is the place where I’ll have to take some medicine.
D



We often work to save the most charismatic (有超凡魅力的) species in the world. Is it time to think beyond pandas and tigers?
Take a good look at the American burying beetle. Today it is assessed as critically endangered. Like the tiger, the beetle is orange and black; like the tiger, the beetle is decreasing in number. The tiger is an instantly recognizable symbol of species conservation, but most people aren’t familiar with the beetle.
This phenomenon is called the domination of flagship species where organizations use charismatic organisms (生物) such as tigers to increase support and funding for conservation. That’s largely because humans are attracted to large-bodied animals with forward-facing eyes, humanlike traits that make such species more relatable. As a result, many less well-known organisms fail to get the support and funding to ensure their survival even though they play an important role in the ecosystem.
Which species could be saved? They may not charm us with fuzzy paws and puppy dog eyes, but many ignored species deserve some love. The world needs to better recognize the contributions of these underdogs rather than “only spending money on cool species,” says conservation scientist Bob Smith.
I suspect that most of us who care about animals could agree on this: Charisma is in the eye of the beholder. In that case, can’t we broaden the list of animals considered popular and even beautiful? University of Kent conservationist Bob Smith says we can—and there’s a name for them: Cinderella species. These are mostly threatened animals that are still very popular with the public yet are typically overlooked as flagships. Smith is convinced that “less well-known and less popular species can still be good flagships with more marketing effort.”
In a recent study, Smith settled another myth about poster animals: that they don’t help publicize the world’s most species-rich and threatened places. A prioritization (优先次序) model Smith created showed that the most important conservation hot spots worldwide also are home to more than 500 flagship and Cinderella species, and that drawing more attention to Cinderella species could boost funding and public campaigns for habitat protection.
Let’s be clear, though: It’s still OK to root for pandas and tigers. “The reason I got into conservation is that I liked these species,” Smith says. “That is fair enough. But it’s our job as conservationists to try to inspire people to love other species too.”
27. According to the passage, people are unfamiliar with the American burying beetle mainly because ________.
A. it is critically endangered B. it is decreasing in number
C. it is not a flagship species D. it is not instantly recognizable
28. It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A. Cinderella species have made threatened species well known
B. Cinderella species are popular but ignored endangered animals
C. flagship species have raised enough funds for endangered organisms
D. flagship species and Cinderella species usually live in the same areas
29. The underlined phrase “root for” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. take control of B. get close to
C. show support for D. check up on
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. It’s Time to Study Cinderella Species
B. Who Should Decide Which Species to Save?
C. Do Flagship Species Help or Hurt Conservation?
D. Conservation Can’t Just Be a Popularity Contest

Managing Star Performers in High-Pressure Situations
It is generally accepted that success produces confidence, and confidence increases the ability to handle pressure. While success can indeed produce confidence, it can also increase multiply expectations and raise pressure to unhealthy levels over time.
Even the greatest performers feel pressure more than you might think. Researcher Geir Jordet studied 366 kicks from 37 penalty shootouts held at the world’s three largest soccer tournaments. His unusual finding was that superstars scored only 65% of the time vs. the 74% overall average. Even more striking, they scored far less than players who would later go on to win the same awards. These “future stars” scored 89% of the time. In short, players who have the skill but not yet the status (地位) that comes with winning a major award performed far better than those who had both the skill and status. Status, as it turns out, can be a burden.
Leading or coaching highly successful performers through a high-pressure event requires reducing the overwhelming (压倒性的) baggage that they may attach to failure. You can start to accomplish this by asking one key question: What are the things that are most important to you—that are essential to your being—and won’t change regardless of the outcome?
On May 26, 2021, outstanding tennis player Naomi Osaka announced on Twitter that due to her mental health, she would not do any press interviews at the French Open. The volume (量) of tasks and distractions that surround performance can dramatically increase pressure. And as success and status build, so does volume. The requests for Osaka’s time at the French Open in 2021 were vastly greater than they were in 2016 during her first Grand Slam event.
In response to the increase in volume, Osaka—like all of us—had two choices: accommodate more or remove the volume that was creating the most pressure. She chose the latter, which is exactly the right response to pressure that comes from volume.
Few of us will ever know the pressure of carrying the expectations of 300 million people into a physically and mentally demanding environment. But, through thoughtful conversations that aim to keep importance in viewpoint and simplify volume, we can help our own stars carry the burden of success a little more lightly.
53. What negative effects can success have?
54. According to the passage, why may superstars perform worse than “future stars”?
55. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
➢ Tennis player Naomi Osaka announced that she would not do any press interviews at the French Open because she didn’t feel well physically.
56. How do you deal with high-pressure situations in your daily life? (In about 40 words)

A

We’ve all seen it, perhaps without even noticing it — the diamond-shaped patch (补丁) on backpacks that seems, at best, someone’s strange idea of a design feature. But it proves that the patch is actually very useful for staying organised.
The slotted (有开槽的) patch, which is typically found on the front of backpacks, is called a “lash tab”, and is made to hold your spare clothing on ropes. For hikers and backpackers, that might mean hanging items that you often reach for, such as a water bottle, and for employees carrying a backpack to the office, it might mean hanging headphones or electronic chargers through the slot for easy access.
Lash tabs once appeared only on backpacks created for adventures in the great outdoors, but in recent years it has become an important part on a variety of backpack styles. The blog Carryology reports that lash tabs were once a “leather patch that let you pass a bit of webbing through it to fasten items to your pack”. Since then, the tabs have been adapted using many different styles and materials.
If your backpack comes without the tabs and now you don’t know how you’ll live without them, you’ll be relieved to learn that the styling of lash tabs has become so popular that you can now purchase your own and attach them to your favourite backpack.
The tab can also prove useful for travellers, as you can even thread the laces of shoes through the tab to let them hang off your pack, giving you extra space in your checked luggage or carry-on.
16. According to the passage, some backpacks have lash tabs to _________.
A. carry more items B. look more beautiful
C. show a design feature D. draw people’s attention
17. From the passage, we can learn that lash tabs _________.
A. are designed only for outdoor adventurers
B. have been developed into various styles
C. can be designed by the users
D. are all made of leather
18. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To offer comments. B. To give advice.
C. To make recommendations. D. To provide information.

For hikers and backpackers, that might mean hanging items that you often reach for, such as a water bottle, and for employees carrying a backpack to the office, it might mean hanging headphones or electronic chargers through the slot for easy access.”（这种开槽的补丁通常位于背包的正面，被称为“饰片”，用来把你的备用衣物绑在绳子上。对于远足者和背包客来说，那可能意味着挂上你经常伸手拿的物品，比如水瓶；对于背着背包去办公室的员工来说，它可能意味着通过插槽挂上耳机或电子充电器，以便于取用。）可知，一些背包上有饰片，是为了携带更多的物品。故选A项。
【17题详解】

When senior leaders at toymaker Lego first learned that adults were buying large quantities of their plastic bricks and getting together to build Lego creations of their own, “they thought it was very strange,” says Smith-Meyer.
“Before the late 1990s, the company didn’t think their adult fans had value,” says Smith-Meyer. “Leadership actually thought adults were having a negative impact on the brand.” Thanks to a handful of employees who worked to change attitudes inside the company, gone are the days when labels on Lego boxes stated that the contents were appropriate only for children ages 7 to 12. Lego’s newest marketing motto is “Adults Welcome.”
Today Lego is the world’s largest and most profitable toymaker. The enthusiasm and buying power of adult fans of Lego played a major role in the company’s rise to the top. But insiders say the road from “kids only” to “adults welcome” was a long, uphill climb.
Lego founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen always knew he wanted to market his products completely to kids. When Kristiansen started The Lego Group in 1932, he made wooden toys that were intended for children. In 1946, he began making plastic toys. In 1958, he and his son developed the first coupling bricks, the basic design of which hasn’t changed much over the years. They’re even used together with bricks made today.
As the company grew over its first six decades, few imagined that its products could attract as many adults as children. Then attitudes began to shift in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Lego posted its first-ever loss in 1998. By 2003, when it reported a $238 million loss, the company was looking seriously at bankruptcy(破产). “Those were Lego’s dark days,” McKee says.
In the wake of the crisis, “Everyone suddenly wanted to see what designs I’d been working on with adult fans,” McKee says. In August 2005, when Lego CEO Jorgen Vig Knudstorp attended a fan meeting, he saw for himself the sea of adult supporters. “I see a future where we will be working more closely together,” he recalls. The booming partnership would eventually produce some of the company’s most popular and profitable themes, including Lego Creator and Lego’s Ambassador Network, and the company’s first-ever official fan conference: 2021’s Lego Con.
“Lego used to treat their adult customers like goods; today, they treat them like partners,” McKee says.
19. What did Ole Kirk Kristiansen do in 1932?
A. He developed the first coupling bricks. B. He and his son invented wooden toys.
C. He began making plastic toys. D. He set up his toy company.
20. Lego changed its attitude towards its adult fans when the company ________.
A. was faced with a business crisis B. started treating them like goods
C. got financial support from them D. found its products less attractive to kids
21. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Lego was forced to replace wooden toys with plastic ones.
B. Lego’s basic design of the first coupling bricks are still in use.
C. Lego’s partnership with gifted kids produced popular themes.
D. Lego has targeted adults as potential customers since it was founded.
22. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The world’s largest and most profitable toymaker.
B. Lego’s shift from “kids only” to “adults welcome”.
C. Lego’s dark days of the creation of plastic toys.
D. The brief but awesome history of Lego.

Many children’s hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aim to cheer up patients. But new research suggests that storytelling also has physiological benefits. “Until now, the positive evidence for storytelling was based on ‘common sense’ that interacting with the child may distract, entertain and reduce psychological suffering,” said Dr Jorge Moll, of D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), Brazil. “But there was a lack of a solid scientific basis.”
“During storytelling, something happens that we call ‘narrative transportation’. The child, through fantasy, can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world, a place that is different from the hospital room, and is, therefore, far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization,” says Guilherme Brockington.
The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in São Paulo. A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller, lasting 25 to 30 minutes. A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals, but they told riddles instead. Before and after the sessions, the team took saliva samples from each child and assessed their pain level. The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol, which is related to stress, and the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in empathy.
Both groups of children benefited from the sessions: they all had less cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva, suggesting they were less stressed, and they reported less pain and discomfort. However, the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group. At the end of the sessions, the children also took part in a word-association exercise including words like ‘hospital’, ‘nurse’ and ‘doctor’. The team said that children from the control group said “this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection” in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse, while the storytelling group said “this is the woman who comes to cure me”.
“I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in, due to its potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment, aiming at the relief of human suffering. We intend to support volunteering devoted to the noble activity of storytelling, now with more solid scientific evidence,” said Moll.
23. According to the passage, “narrative transportation” indicates children _______.
A. feel that they are placed into the world of a story
B. fire up their imagination and expand their horizons
C. have more empathy with the characters in the stories
D. experience the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization
24. In Para.3, the author mainly tells the readers about _______.
A. the application of the research B. the purpose of the research
C. the limitation of the research D. the process of the research
25. How does the author present the findings of the research?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving definitions.
C. By presenting examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
26. Which of the following may be the response from the storytelling group?
A. A hospital is the place where I go when I’m very sick.
B. A hospital is the place where I get an injection in my arm.
C. A hospital is the place where I am taken care of to feel better.
D. A hospital is the place where I’ll have to take some medicine.

【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The team, based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC, Brazil, studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven, all of whom were in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital in São Paulo.

We often work to save the most charismatic (有超凡魅力的) species in the world. Is it time to think beyond pandas and tigers?
Take a good look at the American burying beetle. Today it is assessed as critically endangered. Like the tiger, the beetle is orange and black; like the tiger, the beetle is decreasing in number. The tiger is an instantly recognizable symbol of species conservation, but most people aren’t familiar with the beetle.
This phenomenon is called the domination of flagship species where organizations use charismatic organisms (生物) such as tigers to increase support and funding for conservation. That’s largely because humans are attracted to large-bodied animals with forward-facing eyes, humanlike traits that make such species more relatable. As a result, many less well-known organisms fail to get the support and funding to ensure their survival even though they play an important role in the ecosystem.
Which species could be saved? They may not charm us with fuzzy paws and puppy dog eyes, but many ignored species deserve some love. The world needs to better recognize the contributions of these underdogs rather than “only spending money on cool species,” says conservation scientist Bob Smith.
I suspect that most of us who care about animals could agree on this: Charisma is in the eye of the beholder. In that case, can’t we broaden the list of animals considered popular and even beautiful? University of Kent conservationist Bob Smith says we can—and there’s a name for them: Cinderella species. These are mostly threatened animals that are still very popular with the public yet are typically overlooked as flagships. Smith is convinced that “less well-known and less popular species can still be good flagships with more marketing effort.”
In a recent study, Smith settled another myth about poster animals: that they don’t help publicize the world’s most species-rich and threatened places. A prioritization (优先次序) model Smith created showed that the most important conservation hot spots worldwide also are home to more than 500 flagship and Cinderella species, and that drawing more attention to Cinderella species could boost funding and public campaigns for habitat protection.
Let’s be clear, though: It’s still OK to root for pandas and tigers. “The reason I got into conservation is that I liked these species,” Smith says. “That is fair enough. But it’s our job as conservationists to try to inspire people to love other species too.”
27. According to the passage, people are unfamiliar with the American burying beetle mainly because ________.
A. it is critically endangered B. it is decreasing in number
C. it is not a flagship species D. it is not instantly recognizable
28. It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A. Cinderella species have made threatened species well known
B. Cinderella species are popular but ignored endangered animals
C. flagship species have raised enough funds for endangered organisms
D. flagship species and Cinderella species usually live in the same areas
29. The underlined phrase “root for” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. take control of B. get close to
C. show support for D. check up on
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. It’s Time to Study Cinderella Species
B. Who Should Decide Which Species to Save?
C. Do Flagship Species Help or Hurt Conservation?
D. Conservation Can’t Just Be a Popularity Contest
【27~30题答案】
【答案】27. C 28. B 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者主要分析了一些劣势物种的保护没得到重视的原因，并呼吁不要用人气来决定物种的保护与否。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段第一句“This phenomenon is called the domination of flagship species where organizations use charismatic organisms (生物) such as tigers to increase support and funding for conservation.”（这种现象被称为旗舰物种主导，各组织使用如老虎这样有超凡魅力的生物来提升支持和保护资金。）可知，beetles不被人们所熟知是因它不是旗舰物种，故选C项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段倒数第二句“These are mostly threatened animals that are still very popular with the public yet are typically overlooked as flagships.”（这些大部分是处于威胁中的动物，他们仍受大众欢迎但是人们通常忽视了它们也是旗舰物种）可知，辛德瑞拉物种是受欢迎但是被忽视的旗舰物种，故选B项。
【29题详解】
词义推测题。最后一段第一句“Let’s be clear, though: It’s still OK to root for pandas and tigers.”（但是，让我们理清一点。我们root for猫和老虎是没问题的）最后一句 “But it’s our job as conservationists to try to inspire people to love other species too.”（但是作为保护者，我们也要努力鼓励人们爱其他物种）可知，作者呼吁人们除了熊猫和老虎，也要爱护、支持其他物种。由此可知，划线部分意为“支持”。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章主要内容，尤其最后一句“The world needs to better recognize the contributions of these underdogs rather than “only spending money on cool species,” says conservation scientist Bob Smith.”（世界需要更好地认识到这些弱势群体的贡献，而不是‘只把钱花在酷物种上’，物种保护科学家Bob Smith说）可知，文章多处提到一些物种的保护不被重视是因为他们不是旗舰物种并希望这种现状可以被改变，D选项的“Conservation Can’t Just Be a Popularity Contest”（保护不能成为一个人气竞赛）符合文章主题，故选D项。

【43题答案】

IV.阅读表达（共4小题;每小题2分,共8分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Managing Star Performers in High-Pressure Situations
It is generally accepted that success produces confidence, and confidence increases the ability to handle pressure. While success can indeed produce confidence, it can also increase multiply expectations and raise pressure to unhealthy levels over time.
Even the greatest performers feel pressure more than you might think. Researcher Geir Jordet studied 366 kicks from 37 penalty shootouts held at the world’s three largest soccer tournaments. His unusual finding was that superstars scored only 65% of the time vs. the 74% overall average. Even more striking they scored far less than players who would later go on to win the same awards. These “future stars” scored 89% of the time. In short, players who have the skill but not yet the status (地位) that comes with winning a major award performed far better than those who had both the skill and status. Status, as it turns out, can be a burden.
Leading or coaching highly successful performers through a high-pressure event requires reducing the overwhelming (压倒性) baggage that they may attach to failure. You can start to accomplish this by asking one key question: What are the things that are most important to you—that are essential to your being—and won’t change regardless of the outcome?
On May 26, 2021, outstanding tennis player Naomi Osaka announced on Twitter that due to her mental health, she would not do any press interviews at the French Open. The volume (量) of tasks and distractions that surround performance can dramatically increase pressure. And as success and status build, so does volume. The requests for Osaka’s time at the French Open in 2021 were vastly greater than they were in 2016 during her first Grand Slam event.
In response to the increase in volume, Osaka—like all of us—had two choices: accommodate more or remove the volume that was creating the most pressure. She chose the latter, which is exactly the right response to pressure that comes from volume.
Few of us will ever know the pressure of carrying the expectations of 300 million people into a physically and mentally demanding environment. But, through thoughtful conversations that aim to keep importance in viewpoint and simplify volume, we can help our own stars carry the burden of success a little more lightly.
53. What negative effects can success have?
54. According to the passage, why may superstars perform worse than “future stars”?
55. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
➢ Tennis player Naomi Osaka announced that she would not do any press interviews at the French Open because she didn’t feel well physically.
56. How do you deal with high-pressure situations in your daily life? (In about 40 words)
【53~56题答案】
【答案】53. Raising pressure to unhealthy levels.
54. Because Status can be a burden.
55. Tennis player Naomi Osaka announced that she would not do any press interviews at the French Open because she didn’t feel well physically. Because she would not do any press interviews due to her mental health.
56. In our daily life we can deal with high-pressure situations by accommodating more or removing the volume that was creating the most pressure. For example, when I feel stressed, I will go running to release the pressure in this way
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章阐述了成功可以产生自信也可以带来高压，并介绍了如何应对高压状况的方法。
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段的“While success can indeed produce confidence, it can also increase multiply expectations and raise pressure to unhealthy levels over time.(虽然成功确实可以产生信心，但它也可以增加人们的期望，并随着时间的推移将压力提高到不健康的水平)”可知，成功的负面影响是把压力提高到一个不健康的水平，故答案为Raising pressure to unhealthy levels.
【54题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第二段的“Even the greatest performers feel pressure more than you might think.( 即使是最优秀的表演者也比你想象的更有压力。)”和最后一句“In short, players who have the skill but not yet the status (地位) that comes with winning a major award performed far better than those who had both the skill and status. Status, it turns out, can be a burden.( 简而言之，有技能但尚未获得主要奖项和地位的球员表现远比那些有技能也有地位的球员表现得好。事实证明，地位可能是一种负担)”可推断，许多超级巨星比“未来之星”表现糟糕的原因是地位有时会成为负担。故答案为Because Status can be a burden.
【55题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段的“On May 26, 2021, outstanding tennis player Naomi Osaka announced on Twitter that due to her mental health, she would not do any press interviews at the French Open. ( 2021年5月26日，优秀网球选手Naomi Osaka在推特上宣布，由于她的心理健康状况，她将不会在法国网球公开赛上接受任何新闻采访。)”可知，Naomi Osaka不接受任何新闻采访是因为心理健康问题，不是身体因为身体健康问题。故答案为Tennis player Naomi Osaka announced that she would not do any press interviews at the French Open because she didn’t feel well physically. Because she would not do any press interviews due to her mental health.
【56题详解】
开放性题目。本题为开放性题目，只要答案合乎逻辑，字数符合要求即可。根据倒数第二段的“In response to the increase in volume, Osaka—like all of us—had two choices: accommodate more or remove the volume that was creating the most pressure.(为了应对压力体积的增加，Osaka和我们所有人一样，有两个选择：容纳更大的体积或移除造成最大压力的体积)”可知，该题可回答为：在日常生活中，我可以通过容纳或者消除更大的压力处理高压状态。故答案为In our daily life we can deal with high-pressure situations by accommodating more or removing the volume that was creating the most pressure. For example, when I feel stressed, I will go running to release the pressure in this way

【57题答案】
【答案】How is everything going? You mentioned in your letter that you were interested in the activity entitled “Best Movies of All Time”. I’m delighted to tell you about the movie I recommended to my schoolmates—“The Pursuit of Happyness”.
The movie is based on a true story about a man named Christopher Gardner. It demonstrates the challenges that Chris faces as he attempts to improve his life, which is exactly what he has done through constant efforts.
I recommended this movie for the following reasons. First, I’m a big fan of Will Smith, the actor who plays Chris in the movie. His eye-catching performance brings the character to life! On top of that, the story has taught me that no success can be achieved without hard work and determination. It has inspired me to cultivate a positive attitude towards failure.
Could you recommend your favorite movie? Looking forward to your reply.
