A
With the return of tourists, some of the world’s most popular tourist destinations are flat-out, telling tourists to stay away in 2023.
Lanzarote, Spain
Lanzarote has long been a top getaway choice for the British making up around half of the island’s overseas visitors. However, the days of budget drinking until dawn is over, as the Spanish President wants to attract “higher quality” visitors to spend more and drink less. The island declared itself a tourist-packed area early in 2023.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona has it all: modem art, a massive beach, all-night parties, and the food, culture and sunshine you want from a European city break. It’s also full of tourists. In 2022, the city took steps to limit the size of tour groups and introduce noise restrictions. The city will further limit numbers to ensure better life quality for locals.
Santorini, Greece
The Greek island attracts two million visitors annually, a significant number considering the island’s year-round population of around 10,000. While tourism is a large part of the economy, the island started restrictions in 2019, when passengers were limited to 8,000 per day and tourists weighing over 100kg were banned from riding donkeys.
Amalfi Coast Italy
In 2022, Amalfi Coast took number plate system for visitors. Cars with odd (奇数的) number plates were allowed access to the coast on one day, while cars ending in an even number were permitted to enter on the next. Local residents and public transport were exception. The coast also featured on Fodor’s list of places to avoid visiting in 2023 for its over-tourism.
21. Which destination do British people like to go most
A. Lanzarote in Spain. B. Barcelona in Spain.
C. Santorini in Greece. D. Amalfi Coast in Italy.
22. Who will be banned from riding donkeys in Santorini
A. Local residents. B. Overweighted visitors.
C. Noisy and heavy drinkers. D. Visitors from tour groups.
23. How does Amalfi Coast control its number of visitors
A. By banning low-quality visitors. B. By limiting the size of tour groups.
C. By keeping its visitors to 8,000 a day. D. By using car number plate system.
B
I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the economic crisis. She said a polite “no”.
That didn’t stop me. I searched the measurements of a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed grade three, and then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock.
My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. Some of the questions involved an evaluation of the composer or when some piece was written. I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement, I was offered a place.
At the Purcell School. I spent two years working as hard as I could, performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano.
When I left the Purcell School, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud—it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano--what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works and the building blocks that form the pieces.
24. Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last
A. She was shocked by his first performance.
B. She had no doubt about his talent for piano.
C. She realized he meant what he said.
D. She suddenly made a fortune.
25. Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Honest. B. Determined
C. Humorous D. Optimistic
26. What did the underlined word “irony” in the last paragraph show
A. The author felt surprised. B. The author felt proud.
C. The author felt satisfied D. The author felt disappointed.
27. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing this article
A. To introduce the method of mental practice.
B. To share how he convinced his mom to buy a piano.
C. To describe how costly it is to learn an instrument.
D. To encourage people to stick to their dreams.
C
If you had boarded a passenger plane in 1950, you would have seen five people in the cockpit (驾驶舱): two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator and a flight engineer. Over the years, technical advances have gradually removed the need for the last three, leaving just two pilots. That has been the norm (标准) in commercial aviation for decades.
However, things could be simplified further — one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.
But how will airlines make this brave innovation come true One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from the cockpit to the ground. “The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,” says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. “A trained ground operator could observe a number of flights at once and even fully control the plane remotely if needed.”
It’s true that single-pilot operations could help airlines save money, but there is another reason which makes them quicken their pace for this crucial breakthrough. Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit (赤字) of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.
Perhaps the biggest barrier to a single pilot will be selling the idea to passengers. In 2019, Don Hairis, a professor at Coventry University, conducted a survey on the prospect of flying on an airliner with just one pilot. Just a minority of participants said they’d be willing to take that flight, and the general idea was that removing a pilot increased the possibility of accidents. In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.
28. What is the potential trend in commercial aviation according to the text
A. It will make air travel eco-friendly.
B. It will switch to single-pilot operations.
C. It will tighten its flight control for safety concerns.
D. It will bring in many military aircraft to the industry.
29. What does Patrick Smith think is a quick way to realize airlines’ brave innovation
A. Raising the standards in admitting new pilots. B. Making pilots adaptable to different situations.
C. Using computers to automate the flight process. D. Gaining piloting support from ground operators.
30. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The shortage of pilots. B. The need for new airlines.
C. The airlines’ brave innovation. D. The financial problem airlines face.
31. What can be inferred from Don Harris’ study
A. The prospect of single-crew airliners is bright.
B. It's urgent that airlines reduce airplane accidents.
C. Passengers are willing to try new types of airplanes.
D. Airlines have a long way to go before the innovation occurs.
D
When you’re going through a period of anxiety or depression it can be difficult to make decisions, whether those are significant life changes or everyday choices. Those with generalized anxiety disorder or mood disorders often report feeling uncomfortable with or being troubled by feelings of uncertainty — which doesn’t help when you need to make a decision, big or small.
Now in a new study, researchers find that people with higher levels of anxiety and depression are less able to adapt to fast-changing situations. But with the right intervention (干预) there may be ways to help those with anxiety or depression make better decisions in the moment.
Participants were aged between 18 and 55: some had symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder while others had no history of mental illness at all.
In the study, after filling in measures related to anxiety, depression, and worry, participants took pant in a video game. In each round, they were asked to choose between two shapes: picking one shape resulted in a reward, while the other delivered an electric shock.
The task took place in two blocks (小组) — one stable, in which one shape was associated with a reward 75% of the time and the other 25% of the time, and the other unstable, in which the shape with a higher probability (概率) of resulting in reward switched every twenty trials. In the unstable block, therefore, the participants had to keep adjusting their responses as the probabilities change.
Those participants with symptoms of anxiety or depression were slower to adjust their responses to the changes in probabilities. This suggests that mood disorders are associated with difficulty making decisions in changing circumstances.
Senior author Sonia Bishop argues that those participants who adapted quickly did so because of their emotional resilience (适应力) “Emotionally resilient people tend to focus on what gave them a good outcome. and in many real-world situations that might be key to learning to make good decisions,” she says.
Sonia Bishop suggests that encouraging people to focus on past successes rather than failures could be a useful behavioral intervention, making those difficult decisions a bit less tricky.
32. According to the text, which of the following affects decision-making
A. Feeling uncomfortable with the surroundings.
B. Feeling unsatisfactory with what will happen
C Feeling unsure of what is going to happen.
D. Feeling unsuitable for themselves to make a decision.
33. What is the purpose of the unstable block
A. To help those with anxiety make right decisions.
B. To train participants to respond to changes.
C. To make the video game more challenging.
D. To create a fast-changing situation.
34. Why does Sonia Bishop suggest focusing on past successes
A. To recall the past achievements. B. To improve decision-making ability.
C. To adapt quickly to a new situation. D. To avoid making tricky decisions.
35. What advice can be given according to the study
A. Try to think quickly when making decisions.
B. Don’t forget the past failures when making decisions.
C. Don’t focus on one single thing when making decisions.
D. Try to reduce your anxiety or depression when making decisions.

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
There I was stuck AGAIN. This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house
I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me.
“It isn’t my fault...”
I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write.
Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it I hurriedly looked down at my essay.
I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing!
I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave.
“There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

【原文】W: Ken, what do you think is more important, hard work or talent
M: They both play an important role in whatever task you do. But personally, I think hard work is more important than talent.
W: Why do you say so
M: Well, I knew nothing about music in the past. But with the help of my father, I learned to play the violin three years ago. I have been practicing four times a week. And last month I even went on stage and won second place. I am proud of myself.
W: Wow, what an amazing example! But the success of so many people around me proves that talent is more important. Susan, one of my aunts, is a quick learner. I remember once she told me that she had done nothing to prepare for a meeting, but she pulled it off, because she collected all the key information she needed in a short time.
M: Well, maybe. But for most ordinary people, all they can do is to spend more time and energy on what they are trying to accomplish.

B. To decrease the obstacles of old habits.
C. To increase the chances of achieving their goals.
【答案】17. A 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Are New Year’s resolutions powerful or pointless Almost every year of my life, I’ve started the New Year with a set of resolutions that I’ve been determined to keep. The results, predictably, have been variable. Last year, I mostly kept to my fitness goal of doing 20-minute sports each day, but I failed miserably at my aim of quitting social media. According to my weekly screen-time reports, I still spend between two and three hours each day on my phone. I am far from alone in my determination to start each new year with a plan for self-improvement. At least a quarter of people typically make New Year’s resolutions, and a large portion of those good wishes end in disappointment. Rationally speaking, January 1st should be no better than any other day to make a life change. So why put the needless pressure on ourselves to “upgrade” our lives at the opening of a new calendar Recent psychological research, however, suggests that there are many good reasons to begin a new habit on the first day of a new year. That’s because we can all increase our chances of sticking to our new goals for the new year.

With the return of tourists, some of the world’s most popular tourist destinations are flat-out, telling tourists to stay away in 2023.
Lanzarote, Spain
Lanzarote has long been a top getaway choice for the British, making up around half of the island’s overseas visitors. However, the days of budget drinking until dawn is over, as the Spanish President wants to attract “higher quality” visitors to spend more and drink less. The island declared itself a tourist-packed area early in 2023.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona has it all: modem art, a massive beach, all-night parties, and the food, culture and sunshine you want from a European city break. It’s also full of tourists. In 2022, the city took steps to limit the size of tour groups and introduce noise restrictions. The city will further limit numbers to ensure better life quality for locals.
Santorini, Greece
The Greek island attracts two million visitors annually, a significant number considering the island’s year-round population of around 10,000. While tourism is a large part of the economy, the island started restrictions in 2019, when passengers were limited to 8,000 per day and tourists weighing over 100kg were banned from riding donkeys.
Amalfi Coast, Italy
In 2022, Amalfi Coast took number plate system for visitors. Cars with odd (奇数的) number plates were allowed access to the coast on one day, while cars ending in an even number were permitted to enter on the next. Local residents and public transport were exception. The coast also featured on Fodor’s list of places to avoid visiting in 2023 for its over-tourism.
21. Which destination do British people like to go most
A. Lanzarote in Spain. B. Barcelona in Spain.
C. Santorini in Greece. D. Amalfi Coast in Italy.
22. Who will be banned from riding donkeys in Santorini
A. Local residents. B. Overweighted visitors.
C. Noisy and heavy drinkers. D. Visitors from tour groups.
23. How does Amalfi Coast control its number of visitors
A. By banning low-quality visitors. B. By limiting the size of tour groups.
C. By keeping its visitors to 8,000 a day. D. By using car number plate system.

I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the economic crisis. She said a polite “no”.
That didn’t stop me. I searched the measurements of a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed grade three, and then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock.
My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. Some of the questions involved an evaluation of the composer or when some piece was written. I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement, I was offered a place.
At the Purcell School. I spent two years working as hard as I could, performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano.
When I left the Purcell School, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud—it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano--what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works and the building blocks that form the pieces.
24. Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last
A. She was shocked by his first performance.
B. She had no doubt about his talent for piano.
C. She realized he meant what he said.

If you had boarded a passenger plane in 1950, you would have seen five people in the cockpit (驾驶舱): two pilots, a radio operator, a navigator and a flight engineer. Over the years, technical advances have gradually removed the need for the last three, leaving just two pilots. That has been the norm (标准) in commercial aviation for decades.
However, things could be simplified further — one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.
But how will airlines make this brave innovation come true One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from the cockpit to the ground. “The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,” says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. “A trained ground operator could observe a number of flights at once and even fully control the plane remotely if needed.”
It’s true that single-pilot operations could help airlines save money, but there is another reason which makes them quicken their pace for this crucial breakthrough. Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit (赤字) of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.
Perhaps the biggest barrier to a single pilot will be selling the idea to passengers. In 2019, Don Hairis, a professor at Coventry University, conducted a survey on the prospect of flying on an airliner with just one pilot. Just a minority of participants said they’d be willing to take that flight, and the general idea was that removing a pilot increased the possibility of accidents. In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.
28. What is the potential trend in commercial aviation according to the text
A. It will make air travel eco-friendly.
B. It will switch to single-pilot operations.
C. It will tighten its flight control for safety concerns.
D. It will bring in many military aircraft to the industry.
29. What does Patrick Smith think is a quick way to realize airlines’ brave innovation
A. Raising the standards in admitting new pilots. B. Making pilots adaptable to different situations.
C. Using computers to automate the flight process. D. Gaining piloting support from ground operators.
30. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The shortage of pilots. B. The need for new airlines.
C. The airlines’ brave innovation. D. The financial problem airlines face.
31. What can be inferred from Don Harris’ study
A. The prospect of single-crew airliners is bright.
B. It's urgent that airlines reduce airplane accidents.
C. Passengers are willing to try new types of airplanes.
D. Airlines have a long way to go before the innovation occurs.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了商业航空的潜在趋势是将转为单人驾驶，但是想要实现单机组客机航空公司还有很长的路要走。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, things could be simplified further — one of the two remaining pilots could soon go. Many military aircraft are already manned by a single pilot, and for commercial aviation this would mean stepping into a brave new world.(然而，事情可以进一步简化——剩下的两名飞行员中的一名可能很快就会离开。许多军用飞机已经由一名飞行员驾驶，对于商业航空来说，这将意味着步入一个美丽的新世界。)”可知，根据文章，商业航空的潜在趋势是它将转为单人驾驶。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“One way is to greatly increase automation in the cockpit, devoting more tasks to computers. Another is to shift the same tasks from the cockpit to the ground. ‘The latter approach seems to be more workable, at least in the short term, because much of what is required already exists,’ says Patrick Smith, an airline pilot flying Boeing 767 aircraft. (一种方法是大大提高驾驶舱的自动化程度，将更多的任务交给计算机。另一种方法是将同样的任务从驾驶舱转移到地面。‘后一种方法似乎更可行，至少在短期内是这样，因为所需的很多东西已经存在，’驾驶波音767飞机的飞行员Patrick Smith说。)”可知，Patrick Smith认为获得地面操作员的驾驶支持是实现航空公司大胆创新的快速方法。故选D项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“ Boeing predicts a need for 600,000 new pilots in the next two decades, but by some estimates, there will be a deficit(赤字)of at least 34,000 pilots globally by 2025. (波音公司预计，未来20年将需要60万名新飞行员，但据估计，到2025年，全球至少将出现3.4万名飞行员的缺口。)”说明飞行员短缺，从而推知划线词句“Reducing the number of pilots on some crews or aircraft could lessen the impact of this.(减少一些机组或飞机上的飞行员数量可以减轻这种影响。)”中划线词指的是“飞行员短缺”这一情况。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the study, Harris concluded that the single-crew airliner would be still probably 20 years away.(在这项研究中，Harris得出结论，单机组客机可能还需要20年的时间。)”可知，从Don Harris的研究中可以推断出在创新发生之前，航空公司还有很长的路要走。故选D项。
D
When you’re going through a period of anxiety or depression it can be difficult to make decisions, whether those are significant life changes or everyday choices. Those with generalized anxiety disorder or mood disorders often report feeling uncomfortable with or being troubled by feelings of uncertainty — which doesn’t help when you need to make a decision, big or small.
Now in a new study, researchers find that people with higher levels of anxiety and depression are less able to adapt to fast-changing situations. But with the right intervention (干预) there may be ways to help those with anxiety or depression make better decisions in the moment.
Participants were aged between 18 and 55: some had symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder while others had no history of mental illness at all.
In the study, after filling in measures related to anxiety, depression, and worry, participants took pant in a video game. In each round, they were asked to choose between two shapes: picking one shape resulted in a reward, while the other delivered an electric shock.
The task took place in two blocks (小组) — one stable, in which one shape was associated with a reward 75% of the time and the other 25% of the time, and the other unstable, in which the shape with a higher probability (概率) of resulting in reward switched every twenty trials. In the unstable block, therefore, the participants had to keep adjusting their responses as the probabilities change.
Those participants with symptoms of anxiety or depression were slower to adjust their responses to the changes in probabilities. This suggests that mood disorders are associated with difficulty making decisions in changing circumstances.
Senior author Sonia Bishop argues that those participants who adapted quickly did so because of their emotional resilience (适应力) “Emotionally resilient people tend to focus on what gave them a good outcome. and in many real-world situations that might be key to learning to make good decisions,” she says.
Sonia Bishop suggests that encouraging people to focus on past successes rather than failures could be a useful behavioral intervention, making those difficult decisions a bit less tricky.
32. According to the text, which of the following affects decision-making
A. Feeling uncomfortable with the surroundings.
B. Feeling unsatisfactory with what will happen
C. Feeling unsure of what is going to happen.
D. Feeling unsuitable for themselves to make a decision.
33. What is the purpose of the unstable block
A. To help those with anxiety make right decisions.
B. To train participants to respond to changes.
C. To make the video game more challenging.
D. To create a fast-changing situation.
34. Why does Sonia Bishop suggest focusing on past successes
A. To recall the past achievements. B. To improve decision-making ability.
C. To adapt quickly to a new situation. D. To avoid making tricky decisions.
35. What advice can be given according to the study
A. Try to think quickly when making decisions.
B. Don’t forget the past failures when making decisions.
C. Don’t focus on one single thing when making decisions.
D. Try to reduce your anxiety or depression when making decisions.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当人们经历焦虑或抑郁时期时很难做出决定。一项新的研究发现，只要有正确的干预也许有办法帮助那些焦虑或抑郁的人做出更好的决定。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Those with generalized anxiety disorder or mood disorders often report feeling uncomfortable with or being troubled by feelings of uncertainty-which doesn’t help when you need to make a decision, big or small. (患有广泛性焦虑症或情绪障碍的人经常报告说，他们对不确定感感到不舒服或感到困扰，而这种不确定感在你需要做出重大或小决定时都没有帮助)”可知，对即将发生的事情感到不确定会影响决策。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段一开始就讲到：“现在在一项新的研究中，研究人员发现，焦虑和抑郁程度较高的人适应快速变化的环境的能力较差。”紧接着下面几段就介绍这项研究的实验过程，包括参与者；分组情况；实验结果等。文章第五段讲到“The task took place in two blocks (小组) — one stable, in which one shape was associated with a reward 75% of the time and the other 25% of the time, and the other unstable, in which the shape with a higher probability (概率) of resulting in reward switched every twenty trials. In the unstable block, therefore, the participants had to keep adjusting their responses as the probabilities change. (这项任务分两组进行——一组是稳定的，其中一种形状与奖励的关联概率为75%，另一种形状与奖励的关联概率为25%；另一组是不稳定的，其中形状与奖励的关联概率较高（每20次试验更换一次）。因此，在不稳定的小组中，参与者必须随着概率的变化不断调整他们的反应)”。由此可知，设置不稳定小组的目的是创造快速变化的局面，比较两种不同类型的参与者的适应环境的能力。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Sonia Bishop suggests that encouraging people to focus on past successes rather than failures could be a useful behavioral intervention, making those difficult decisions a bit less tricky. (Sonia Bishop建议，鼓励人们专注于过去的成功而不是失败，这可能是一种有用的行为干预，让那些艰难的决定变得不那么棘手)”可知，Sonia Bishop建议关注过去的成功的原因是为了改善决策。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Now in a new study, researchers find that people with higher levels of anxiety and depression are less able to adapt to fast-changing situations. But with the right intervention (干预) there may be ways to help those with anxiety or depression make better decisions in the moment. (现在，在一项新的研究中，研究人员发现，焦虑和抑郁程度较高的人更难适应快速变化的环境。但只要有正确的干预也许有办法帮助那些焦虑或抑郁的人在当下做出更好的决定)”可推知，这项研究可以给出的建议是在做决定时减少焦虑或抑郁。故选D。

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines; a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job advancing, the ability to read and comprehend ___41___ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are ___42___ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never ___43___ them. The main shortage lies in the actual stuff of language itself – words. Taken individually, words have little___44___ until they are combined together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, ___45___, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He read one word at a time with difficulty, often regressing to ___46___ words or passages. Regression, namely, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common ___47___ habit in reading. Another bad habit which ___48___ the speed of reading is vocalization –sounding each word either ___49___ or mentally as one reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator, which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set a slightly ___50___ rate than the reader finds comfortable, in order to “___51___” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically ___52___. At first comprehension is ___53___ speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill ___54___ improved after some training. Take Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can go through a lot more reading material in a(n) ___55___ period of time.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。短文说明了对于今天许多人来说，阅读不再是件轻松的事情，要掌握一些方法，阅读的快慢与否决定着成功与失败，当你学会阅读的技巧，你不但读得快，而且你理解的会更全面。
【41题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意：在获得晋升的过程中，快速阅读和理解的能力可能意味着成功与失败的区别。A. quickly快速地；B. silently安静地；C. thoroughly彻底地；D. vaguely模糊地。由上文“To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines; a never-ending flood of words”可知，人们整日忙碌在书信、报告、商业出版物、部门文件之间，所以快速的阅读和理解能力是在获得工作晋升的过程中能够成功的关键。故选A。
【42题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，不幸的事实是，我们大多数人都是糟糕的读者。A. casual随便的；B. curious好奇的；C. efficient效率高的；D. poor较差的。由“unfortunate”可知，我们大多数人都不擅长阅读，是很差的阅读者。故选D。
【43题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们大多数人在很小的时候就养成了不良的阅读习惯，而且从来没有改掉过。A. acquire获得；B. cultivate培养；C. kick戒除；D. practice练习。由上文“Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never”可知，我们无法去改掉这些不良的阅读习惯，空格处意为“戒除”。故选C。
【44题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：单独来看，单词没有什么意义，直到它们组合成短语、句子和段落。A. formation形成；B. meaning意思；C. pronunciation发音；D. transformation变形。由下文“until they are combined together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs”可知，单词在没有组成短语、句子、段落的时候自身几乎没有意义。故选B。
【45题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，不幸的是，未经训练的读者不能阅读成组的单词。A. however然而；B. moreover而且；C. somehow以某种方式；D. therefore因此。根据上文“words have little___4___ until they are combined together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs”和下文“the untrained reader does not read groups of words”可知，前后句子表示转折关系，所以用however。故选A。
【46题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：他一次只能吃力地读一个单词，经常退回去重读单词或段落。A. recite背诵；B. reread重读；C. reuse再次利用；D. rewrite重写。根据上文“regressing”可知，退回去的目的就是为了重新读。故选B。

考查形容词和动词词义辨析。句意：回顾，也就是倾向于回顾你刚刚读过的东西，是阅读中常见的可怕习惯。A. horrible可怕的，不良的；B. incurable无法治愈的；C. social社会的；D. viewing观看。短文在说明两种不良的阅读方法，由下文的“Another bad habit”可知，重读是一种不良的阅读习惯。故选A。
【48题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意：另一个降低阅读速度坏习惯是读音——在阅读时口头或心里朗读每个单词。A. achieves完成；B. gains获得；C. measures测量；D. reduces减少。根据下文“vocalization –sounding each word either ___9___ or mentally as one reads”及常识可知，本句在说明另一种减缓阅读速度的不良阅读方法，即在阅读时口头或心里朗读每个单词。故reduce“减少”符合语境。故选D。
【49题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意：另一个降低阅读速度的坏习惯是读音——在阅读时口头或心里朗读每个单词。A. orally口头地；B. physically身体上；C. quietly安静地；D. repeatedly重复地。根据上文“sounding each word either”和下文“or mentally as one reads”可知，本句说明在心里把单词逐个读出来或者在口头上把单词逐个读出来都会影响阅读的速度。故选A。
【50题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：采用这种方式会将页面的滚动条（或屏幕）以预先设置好的速度向下翻页。A. better更好的；B. faster更快的；C. lower更低的；D. steadier更稳定的。根据上文“some reading clinics use a device called an accelerator”可知，训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关，所以这里用比较级faster。故选B。

52题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：加速器迫使读者快速阅读，使得逐字逐句的阅读、退回和默读几乎不可能。A. demanding苛刻的；B. impossible不可能的；C. reasonable合情合理的；D. useful有用的。根据上文“The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization”和前面讲到逐字逐句的阅读、退回和默读都是不好的习惯可知，训练快速阅读所使用的工具就是为了提高阅读速度，所以使得逐字逐句的阅读、重读和默读几乎不可能。故选B。
【53题详解】
考查动词短语辨析。句意：一开始，理解是为了速度而牺牲的。A. applied to适用于；B. matched with与……匹配；C. sacrificed for为……牺牲；D. substituted for代替。根据下文“But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve”可知，刚开始的时候阅读者为了阅读的速度而不去理解，也就是牺牲掉了理解，因此空格处是“为……牺牲”。故选C。
【54题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意：许多人发现经过一些训练后他们的阅读能力有了显著的提高。A. dramatically显著地；B. hardly几乎不；C. slightly轻微地；D. subconsciously潜意识地。由下文“Take Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute before the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute”可知，Charlce Au从以前每分钟读172个单词，而现在每分钟可读1378个单词。所以，许多人发现他们的阅读技能在经过一些训练后有了显著的提高。故选A。

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
There I was stuck AGAIN. This was the same feeling that overwhelms me every year. But this year it was different, because if I failed this exam I would not graduate. I sat there, panic stricken, unable to move. Pressure crushed in on me. What if I could not go to high school Would Dad and Mum kick me out of their house
I took two deep breaths and looked up. I could see the teacher pacing up and down. The classroom was dead silent except for the clock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. I checked the clock for the third time. Ten minutes left! I clenched (握紧) and unclenched my fist in an attempt to calm myself. Think! I told myself. I knew I could do this. My hand couldn’t help trembling. Then I scribbled (胡乱写下) the first few words that hit me.
“It isn’t my fault...”
I stared blankly at those words. At the comer of my eye, I could see my teacher walking towards me. She was checking on our progress! Dread built up within me. Then, I glanced at the four words again. Without any warning, my hand moved to write.
Hair on my arms stood as the teacher leaned in and started to read my work. I peered over to see my teacher’s expression, praying that my work had not brought in disappointment. To my astonishment, she displayed a clear satisfaction! That was good, wasn’t it I hurriedly looked down at my essay.
I skimmed it through. I felt proud. Now, there’s something I was still worried about. I checked the clock. Two minutes left! I was still writing!
I bit my lip, took a deep breath, and concentrated on writing. I heard the teacher leave.
“There’s one minute left. Please check your work.” the teacher reminded us.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

【答案】参考范文
One possible version:
“One minute left ” I exclaimed. Everybody looked at me weirdly. I looked down, feeling ashamed. But I had to finish the paper. I tried to ignore everything and continue writing. One more word, I said to myself, come on. Just like this, I forced myself to concentrate and willed my hand to scribble whatever that popped up on my mind. “Time’s up! Put your pens down. Please hand in your test paper to me in the front.” the teacher announced. I finished! I put down my pen, breathing a sigh of relief, and then I stood up and limped towards the teacher to hand it in-my legs felt like noodles, thanks to the extreme tension.
A week later, the teacher handed the papers back to us. It was the time for truth! I folded my paper and held it tightly in my hands, shilly-shallying about whether to check the result in front of my classmates. Finally I decided I should face my fate bravely and unfolded it. It was an “A”! I could not believe my eyes. How could it be It was the first time in my life that I had got an “A”. I turned to look at my teacher. Our eyes met. She nodded and gave me a big smile! At that point, I made a firm resolution: I’d be more hard-working and more confident, so that I wouldn’t be stuck and panic like this again in high school.
