M：Not really.You see，I’ve finished all the research，and I’ve just organized all my notes，but it will take me almost two months to type them.
W：Well，if that’s your only problem，I can type up your paper in less than two weeks.
Text 8

W：Hey，Adam.I’m worried about my sister Alice.She’s in college and has just declared art as her major.

M：But you’re forgetting that there’s more for them to choose.Alice loves art and that’s what’s important.Even if she can’t make much money，she’ll be happy and emotionally satisfied.
W：But she’ll have bills to pay.It’s going to be hard for her to lead a life on what an artist makes.
M：Don’t be worried and I know what you mean.Let’s have a talk with Alice and listen to her.
W：OK.If she insists on her idea，we’ll support her.

The Visitor Oyster card
A Visitor Oyster card is the cheapest way to pay for a single adult journey in London.It’s a plastic smartcard.You can use it on the bus，tube，tram，DLR，London Overground and most National Rail services.It’s much cheaper than buying individual tickets，in some cases costing 50% less than the price of a regular paper ticket.
How to get a Visitor Oyster card?
You can buy a Visitor Oyster card online.Your card will be delivered by post.The card costs ￡5 and you choose how much money you want to add to the card.This means you can start using the card the moment you arrive in Central London.
How does the Visitor Oyster card work?
The Oyster card works on a pay­as­you­go system.You start by adding money to the card.Then you travel，the cost of the fare will automatically be deducted from your Visitor Oyster card.For example，if you add ￡20 to the card and make a tube journey of ￡2.30，you will have ￡17.70 left on the card.
A few more points：
·A child under the age of 11 travels free when accompanied by an adult.
·You’ll save more money if you use the tube several times.The Visitor Oyster card is “capped (给……定上限)” at ￡6.80 per day.
·You’ll pay more during peak times.Peak fares apply from Monday to Friday (6：30am—9：30 am；4：00 pm —7：00 pm)，except for public holidays.
·Reuse the Oyster card by adding credit at a tube station，Oyster ticket shop or Visitor Centre.
·Receive a discount on the Thames Clippers River Bus services.

In a post on Love What Matters，Hanss Mujica,24，explains how he surprised his family by announcing he’d be graduating from college.
Mujica says he wasn’t a hard­working student in high school，but was able to pass his classes.“In high school，teachers are always on top of you to see if you turned in your work or if you read the assigned book，”Mujica writes in the post.But when he went to college，that wasn’t the case.
“Professors tell you the work that needs to get done and it is up to you to decide if you want to do it or not.After all you are the ones that are paying to be there.That，I believe，was my downfall as a college student.My behavior caused me to be suspended(被暂时停学) from the university.”
Mujica says that at that time，he had a 1.47 grade point average.“When my parents got the news，the looks on their faces completely broke my heart.”
Then Mujica explains how he got his schooling back on track：he went on with a different attitude，applied himself，and worked at a company to pay for school.
“Since I was suspended from the university，my federal aid was suspended as well.I was paying out of pocket and it got to the point where I had to get emergency loans(贷款) from the university.Summer 2015 came by and I could not pay back the loans so I was dropped from my fall 2015 courses.I got out another year from the university and in the summer of 2016 I decided to work upstate(在州的乡野地区) to raise the money I needed.”
Fortunately，with help from the university dance program and the money he earned at work，Mujica returned to school in fall 2016.
In 2018，Mujica was ready to graduate.He left his parents a letter and two tickets for graduation to surprise them.“I spent six years in and out of the university but seeing the reactions on their faces was worth every sleepless night，” says Mujica.
语篇解读　本文是记叙文。因受处分中途停学的24岁大学生Mujica，为了不再让父母失望难过，通过自己的努力打拼，最终在六年后拿到了大学毕业证，给不知情的父母一个大大的惊喜。

24．What do we know about Mujica from the first two paragraphs?

B．He has finally become a college graduate.
C．He used to be a good high school student.
D．He was sometimes ignored by his teachers.

B．Why he decided to refuse his federal aid.
C．How he got emergency loans from the university.

27．What’s the best title for the text?
A．24­year­old Finally Wins His Parents’ Support
B．Six­year College Life Puts Mujica Under Pressure

D．A Moving Story on Love What Matters Attracts Attention

Kindergarten outside? Yes，indeed.It’s part of a growing worldwide trend toward outdoor education.The schools are called Forest Kindergartens.
Now the numbers are small in the U．S.，but the idea is well established in Europe，with schools in Scotland，England，and Switzerland.By far most of such schools are in Germany，which has more than 400 Forest Kindergartens.
Children attending such particular school enjoy a good amount of outdoor education each day，rain or shine.Some lessons are focused on nature；others are academic topics delivered in a natural setting.In all cases，students are active—not sitting at desks or on mats on the floor but walking，running，jumping，solving problems like how to get the mud off the bottoms of their shoes before their parents find out.
At these forest kindergartens，students learn science by observing and doing it，learn math by applying it to the natural world around them，learn letters and words by putting them together using sights and sounds.The children learn to make comparisons using natural things like apples and rocks.They develop an appreciation for animals and plants in their natural environment—not just by looking at pictures in a book or on a computer screen.
Some of the science activities involve teamwork，like explaining the best way to move a heavy object，showing how a lever(杠杆)works.In other sessions，teachers encourage students to develop their motor skills by building wooden tools such as hammers and knives.
These students also learn how to get along with one another，individually and in a group.They also develop healthy levels of self­confidence，just from being able to do the everyday activities that the school offers.
In a time when so many children are being classified as obese because of long­time watching television and playing video games，these outdoor schools help children learn just as much，if not more，from opening their eyes to the world around them.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了以户外教育为主的森林幼儿园的学习方式以及积极意义。

28．Which of the following country has the most Forest Kindergartens?
A．The U．S. B．Germany.
C．The U．K. D．Switzerland.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“By far most of such schools are in Germany，which has more than 400 Forest Kindergartens.”可知，德国拥有的森林幼儿园最多，故选B。
29．Which may be seen in Forest Kindergartens?
A．Children are doing an experiment with chemicals.
B．Teachers are writing something on the blackboard.
C．Smart phones are widely used to help children learn.
D．Everything in nature is likely to be applied to teaching.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“Children attending such particular school enjoy a good amount of outdoor education each day，rain or shine.Some lessons are focused on nature；others are academic topics delivered in a natural setting.”可推断出在森林幼儿园中，自然界的一切都可能应用于教学，故选D。
30．What is the purpose of the fourth paragraph?
A．To analyse how children learn socially.
B．To compare different teaching approaches.
C．To show how children learn academically.
D．To describe how active children are in the class.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。由第四段中的关键词“learn science by...”“learn math by...”“learn letters and words by...”等可知，该段主要是展示孩子们如何学习的，故选C。
31．What is the author’s attitude to Forest Kindergartens?
A．Negative. B．Doubtful.
C．Positive. D．Uncertain.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。由最后一段可知，很多孩子肥胖是因为长时间看电视和玩电脑游戏，这些户外学校能帮助孩子们学到同样多的东西，至少帮助他们拓宽了视野。由此推断出，作者对森林幼儿园持肯定态度。故选C。
D
Have you ever caught yourself saying，“I hate small talk！”the minute you walk into a party? If so，you might be an introvert (内向的人)．Introverts hate to chat about “small” subjects with people.They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there’s a group around.
If you’re talking to an introvert，you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways.Either they’ll seem to get bored and not say much or they’ll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in­depth topics.What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude.It’s just that they don’t like small talk.Here’s why.
Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation.Some introverts don’t realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics.You don’t need to stay on small talk forever.However，sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time.Small talk is very fast.Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response.But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud.Before they answer，they’ll mull over different thoughts.
Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in.The more people who join the conversation，the more the introvert will tend to step back.As a result，they’ll be quiet.Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.
The listening involved with small talk is not in­depth.The purpose is about listening “lightly” so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on.Introverts tend to be great listeners，but they use active listening rather than light listening.This makes them wonderful friends，but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they’re so quiet.
语篇解读　本文主要叙述了内向的人不喜欢和人闲聊，尤其是面对一群人会不知所措。事实上闲聊是通向深入交谈的大门。

32．How do introverts respond to a chat?
A．They try to avoid it.
B．They get excited about it.
C．They give it their full attention.
D．They focus on unimportant topics.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。由第一段中的“Introverts hate to chat about ‘small’ subjects with people.”及第二段可知，内向的人不喜欢聊天，因此对于聊天他们常常以回避的方式来回应对方，故选A。
33．What do we know about small talk?
A．It goes slowly.
B．It costs people a lot of time.
C．It contributes to deeper topics.
D．It makes no sense.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。由第三段中的“Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation.Some introverts don’t realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics.”可知闲聊有助于交谈进入更深层次的话题，故选C。
34．What does the underlined phrase “mull over” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Give up. B．Think over.
C．Write down. D．Forget about.
答案　B
解析　词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词的前一句“But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud.”可知，内向的人喜欢在大声说出来之前细细咀嚼他们的话，“细细咀嚼”即仔细考虑。因此可推断出“在他们回答之前，他们会仔细考虑不同的想法。”由此可知mull over意为“仔细考虑”。故选B。
35．How can we become a good talker in small conversations?
A．Figure out the deep meaning of questions.
B．Think twice before answering questions.
C．Try to find shared topics.
D．Be a quiet listener.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in...Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest.”可推断出在对话中要成为一个健谈的人，就要努力寻找共同的话题。故选C。

(2019·浙江舟山中学模拟)
Not everyone deals with their feelings as an open book for others to read. 36 Learn to open up in order to improve your mental health.
37 Accept this and move on.Give yourself some time to have sweaty palms or a shaky voice，since it will get better with practice.
Ask people open­ended questions.To begin practicing opening up，you need to engage in honest，open conversations.Try a question like，“How are things going at work？” instead of “How’s it going？”to get an open answer.Then，in turn answer open­ended questions with honest answers，instead of “Fine” or “OK”． 38 However，in most cases people are flattered that you are listening to them and interested in their life.
Try emulating(效仿) someone who is very open.Observe them in a social situation.Then，try to act as if you were them occasionally.Many open behaviors are learned，and not a natural part of personality. 39
Avoid being a “know it all”．Some people think advice is opening up，but it is unlikely to help you more open.When you want to give advice，listen and try to learn something new from the conversation.
40 Schedule at least one long conversation per week.In the conversation you tell someone about the emotional and difficult part of your life.Get into the practice of opening up about what’s good and bad in your life.
A．In this case，practice can make perfect.
B．Call close friends and family members more often.
C．Asking people personal questions is not always proper.
D．Try connecting with hobbies，interests，vacations or books.
E．Listening patiently is a great way to overcome fear of sharing emotions in public.
F．Understand that there is usually some fear with opening up to other people.
G．However，closing yourself from new people can stop your personal growth.

36．答案　G
解析　根据上句“并不是每个人都把自己的感受当作一本敞开的书让别人去读”及下句“学会敞开心扉，以改善你的心理健康”可知，G项(然而，把自己与新朋友隔绝可能会阻碍你的个人成长)符合语境。
37．答案　F
解析　根据下文“接受这并继续前进。给自己一些时间，让自己有出汗的手掌或颤抖的声音，因为它会随着练习而变得更好”可知，F项(要知道，向别人敞开心扉通常会让人感到害怕)符合语境。
38．答案　C
解析　根据下文“然而，在多数情况下，人们很高兴你倾听他们并对他们的生活感兴趣”可知C项(问别人私人问题并不总是合适的)符合语境。
39．答案　A
解析　根据上文“试着模仿一个非常开放的人。在社交场合观察他们。然后，偶尔试着把自己表现成他们。许多开放的行为是有学问的，而不是性格的自然组成部分”可知A项(在这种情况下，熟能生巧)符合语境。
40．答案　B
解析　根据下文的内容可知，B项(经常给亲密的朋友和家人打电话)符合语境。
第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

C．instead of D．regardless of
答案　B
