A
Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes.
Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their unfavorable words felt like bullying (欺凌) and seemed to be slowly crushing Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets.
The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.
Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Surprised and upset, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham.
“I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.”
1. What can we learn about Todd and his family
A. Todd worked hard to earn his living.
B. Todd’s family lived in extreme poverty.
C. Todd’s mother did nothing to change the situation.
D. Todd were made fun of from the beginning of school.
2. What does the underlined word “hatched” mean in paragraph 2
A. Formed. B. Proved. C. Confirmed. D. Rejected.
3. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4
A. Todd was eager to make more friends with others.
B. Todd felt puzzled when being shouted by Graham.
C. Todd received no apology from Garrett and Graham.
D. Todd was shocked but pleased at the kids’ help to him.
4. What does the author want to convey through the passage
A. Hoping for the best while preparing for the worst.
B. Accepting and living with each other’s weaknesses.
C. Seeing others’ misfortune as an opportunity to help.
D. Making friends with those having common interests.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. D 4. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了Michael Todd因为家境贫困没有衣服替换经常被嘲笑,Graham和Garrett后来意识到这是不对的,于是给Todd送衣服和鞋,帮助他的故事。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes.(但托德无能为力。他母亲根本买不起给他买新衣服)”及前文其他孩子看见Todd每天穿着一样的衣服而嘲笑他可知,Todd家境贫穷。故选B项。
【2题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前文““I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News.(“我觉得我需要做点什么,”格雷厄姆告诉CBS新闻)”及后文“They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets.(他们回到家,翻遍了自己的抽屉和壁橱)”可知,此处表示Graham和Garrett策划了一个计划,hatch与form意思相近。故选A项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys.(可以理解的是,托德害怕被大男孩喊出来)”及第四段“Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV.(托德惊呆了。“我非常高兴,”他告诉WATN-TV,“非常惊讶和烦恼”)”可以推知,Todd对孩子们的帮助感到震惊,但也很高兴。故选D项。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.(然后他递给托德一个袋子。里面是干净的衬衫和短裤,还有一双全新的新百伦运动鞋)”及最后一段“Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.(回想起加勒特和格雷厄姆把他叫进大厅的那一天,他说那基本上是“我一生中最美好的一天”)”可知,Graham和Garrett知道Todd家庭贫困,最后伸出援手,作者通过本文想要告诉我们,当我们看到别人不幸时,我们应该努力帮助他们,应该把别人的不幸看作是帮助别人的机会。故选C项。
B
Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
5. According to the author, what is the significance of EC
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
6. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
7. What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC.
B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.
D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.
【答案】5. A 6. D 7. B 8. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了心理学家的一项EC理论表明,我们不是只有大脑负责人类的认知,我们的身体也负责思考或者解决问题。更准确的说思想塑造身体,身体同等程度地塑造思想。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段第五句话“The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.(EC理论表明,我们的身体也负责思考或解决问题。更准确地说,思维塑造身体,身体同等程度地塑造思维。)”可推知,EC理论让我们更接近人类认知的真相。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四句话“They don’t have emotions so much as need — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world,they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.(他们没有如同需要那么多的情感——他们不会感到悲伤,他们只是饿,需要食物。即使是未出生的婴儿也能感觉到母亲的心跳,这具有镇静作用。在现实世界中,他们冷了就哭,然后被拥抱。这样,他们开始将温暖与被爱联系起来)”可推知,新生儿对周围环境的理解依靠的是身体感觉。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句话“For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking.(为了进一步证明,我们可以看看我们不假思索就使用的比喻)”和第四段第一句话“Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction.(更多的研究支持了身心互动)”可知,两个自然段都是为了证明上文第三段EC的观点“Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.(年长的西方哲学家和主流语言研究人员认为这是事实,而EC理论认为大脑和身体作为一台有机的超级计算机协同工作,处理一切并形成反应)”。所以,作者想要印证的是人类的感官对思维有影响。故选B。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it (既然您已经掌握了身心互动的知识,为什么不使用它呢 )”以及下文中列举的两种现实生活中的情况“If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions. (如果你今天过得很糟糕,一杯温暖的茶会给你带来一瞬间的快乐。如果你知道自己身体很冷,在做出任何人际关系决定之前先热身。)”可推知,最后一段作者鼓励读者把 EC 理论运用于现实生活中。故选B。
C
Kindness is seen as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. As parents and teachers, we also teach children from a young age to “be kind to one another” and “treat others the way you want to be treated.”
In addition to being helpful to our interpersonal relationships, research has shown that kindness can even contribute to our well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone (激素). Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. And what is even greater is that kindness rarely stops with just one person. There can be a positive contagion (扩散) effect, where other people are motivated to be nice if they receive a random act of kindness. The question then arises: Could kindness be harmful to us when it has such clear benefits Let’s think about this in the workplace or in an organization.
You are the new person on the team and you want to be well-liked and respected by your colleagues. You are a kind person and tell your team, “Let me know how I can help you; I’m always available to help.” Though you may truly mean this, there are unfortunately people in this world who can see your kindness as a weakness. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.
Let’s fast forward a year. You have been in your position now for one year, and you are working with the same team. You are noticing that your colleagues continue asking for your help over and over again. In fact, the only time they communicate with you is when they need something. You have been so helpful to your colleagues and there has rarely been any return from them.
In a very broad sense, it is advantageous to be kind to others, and your kind acts will be appreciated and, perhaps, paid forward. However, you need to be willing to say “no”. Recognize when your plate is already too full. When people ask you a favor, assess if you have the time, energy, and attention to give to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying “no” to others and saying “yes” to yourself.
9. What has the Mayo Clinic found concerning kindness
A. It does good to our mind.
B. It reduces hormone levels.
C. It adds years to people’s life.
D. It leads to the success of civilizations.
10. What might the new person feel one year later
A. Grateful. B. Bored. C. Disappointed. D. Energetic.
11. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean
A. When you’re too full to eat anything.
B. When your kind acts get appreciated.
C. When you should ask others a favor.
D. When you’re physically and mentally tired.
12. What can be the best title for the text
A. Your kindness counts for your well-being!
B. Are we tiring ourselves with kindness
C. Why are random acts of kindness important
D. Never underestimate the power of kindness at work!
【答案】9. A 10. C 11. D 12. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了善良被视为一种真正的力量,父母和老师教导我们善待他人,善意有如此明显的好处,它会对我们有害吗?当人们要求帮忙时,要评估自己是否有时间、精力和注意力给他们。要更自在地对别人说“不”,对自己说“是”。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to the Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone. Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. And what is even greater is that kindness rarely stops with just one person.(根据梅奥诊所的说法,当我们进行善举时,我们大脑中的快乐中心被激活,释放减压激素。定期志愿服务的人报告更高的生活满意度。更重要的是,善良很少只停留在一个人身上)”可知,实行善举可以激活大脑中的快乐、释放压力和提高生活满意度,即对我们的大脑是有好处的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Though you may truly mean this, there are unfortunately people in this world who can see your kindness as a weakness. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.(虽然你可能真的是这个意思,但不幸的是,这个世界上有些人可以将你的善良视为一种弱点。这可能会导致你被别人利用)”和第四段中“Let’s fast forward a year. You have been in your position now for one year, and you are working with the same team. You are noticing that your colleagues continue asking for your help over and over again. (让我们快进一年。你现在已经在你的职位上工作了一年,你正在与同一个团队合作。你注意到你的同事一遍又一遍地向你寻求帮助)”可知,新人一年后可能会被别人利用,会受到伤害,即会失望。故选C项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“When people ask you a favor, assess if you have the time, energy, and attention to give to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying “no” to others and saying “yes” to yourself.(当人们要求你帮忙时,评估你是否有时间、精力和注意力给他们。要真正善良,有时你需要更自在地对别人说“不”,对自己说“是”)”可知,在决定是否帮助别人时,要看自己是否有时间、精力和注意力,以此推测划线句子指的是:要意识到自己是否有时间、精力和注意力,即要意识到自己是否身心疲惫。故选D项。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“The question then arises: Could kindness be harmful to us when it has such clear benefits Let’s think about this in the workplace or in an organization. (那么问题来了:当善良有如此明显的好处时,它会对我们有害吗?让我们在工作场所或组织中考虑这个问题)”和文章大意可知,本文主要在讲做善事对我们是否有坏处,B选项“我们是否在用善良使自己疲劳?”切合主题,最适合做本文的标题。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个在我们无聊的时候做的事情,这些比起玩手机更有意义。
【13题详解】
根据前文“That might ease our boredom. (这也许能缓解我们的无聊。)”可知玩手机有一定好处;根据后文“That time could’ve been spent on a different, more valuable activity. (这些时间本可以花在其他更有价值的活动上。)”可知,玩手机的时间其实被浪费了,即玩手机的时候也错过了“使用这些时间做其他有意义的事情”的机会,即这样做存在机会成本。C项“But there’s an opportunity cost. (但这是有机会成本的。)”和前文构成转折;后文是对C项的进一步解释说明。因此C项承上启下,符合语境。故选C项。
【14题详解】
根据后文“That’s because they were forced to read at school. (那是因为他们被迫在学校读书。)”可知,人们在学校被迫读书,在校外不愿意读书 。G项“Most people don’t read anything after they’ve finished school. (大多数人毕业后什么都不读。)”符合语境,且后文“they”指代G项中“Most people”。故选G项。
【15题详解】

【16题详解】
前文“Exercise is good and should be done frequently. (运动是好的,应该经常做。)”说明做运动有好处且应该经常做。根据第二段“That’s because they were forced to read at school. (那是因为他们被迫在学校读书。)和第三段“Some may not even be sure what they’re supposed to be doing in their daily life. (有些人甚至不确定他们在日常生活中应该做什么。)”可知,在每段给出的建议下,都说明了很多人在现实中不这样做。因此本段建议运动,现实中有些人不运动。E项“But for some reason, not everyone does it. (但出于某种原因,并不是每个人都这样做。)”说明有些人不定期运动,符合语境。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据“Cleaning up your room. (打扫你的房间。)” 和后文“But once we remove all this visual mess from our environment, we’re able to focus and process information much better. (但一旦我们把这些视觉上的混乱从我们的环境中移除,我们就能更好地集中注意力和处理信息。)”可知,本段主题为要打扫房间,拥有一个整洁的生活环境。F项“When our surroundings are a mess, so are we. (当我们周围的环境一团糟时,我们自己也一样。)”说明了整洁环境的重要性,符合语境。故选F项。

A
Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school. When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to buy him new clothes.
Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their unfavorable words felt like bullying (欺凌) and seemed to be slowly crushing Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets.
The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers.
Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Surprised and upset, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham.
“I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he called it “the best day of my entire life, basically.”

Is it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知) What about our body Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.
If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don’t have emotions so much as needs — they don’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when they’re cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.
Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.
Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.
For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.
Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it If you’re having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you’re physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.
5. According to the author, what is the significance of EC
A. It brings us closer to the truth in human cognition.
B. It offers a clearer picture of the shape of human brain.
C. It reveals the major role of the mind in human cognition.
D. It facilitates our understanding of the origin of psychology.
6. Where does the newborns’ understanding of their surroundings start from
A. Their personal looks. B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emotions. D. Their physical feelings.
7 What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5
A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.
B. Human senses have effects on thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To deepen the readers’ understanding of EC.
B. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.
C. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.
D. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.
C
Kindness is seen as a true strength, and the success of civilizations relies on kindness. As parents and teachers, we also teach children from a young age to “be kind to one another” and “treat others the way you want to be treated.”
In addition to being helpful to our interpersonal relationships, research has shown that kindness can even contribute to our well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, when we perform acts of kindness, the pleasure center in our brain is activated, releasing the stress-reducing hormone (激素). Individuals who volunteer on a regular basis report greater life satisfaction. And what is even greater is that kindness rarely stops with just one person. There can be a positive contagion (扩散) effect, where other people are motivated to be nice if they receive a random act of kindness. The question then arises: Could kindness be harmful to us when it has such clear benefits Let’s think about this in the workplace or in an organization.
You are the new person on the team and you want to be well-liked and respected by your colleagues. You are a kind person and tell your team “Let me know how I can help you; I’m always available to help.” Though you may truly mean this, there are unfortunately people in this world who can see your kindness as a weakness. This can lead to you being taken advantage of by others.
Let’s fast forward a year. You have been in your position now for one year, and you are working with the same team. You are noticing that your colleagues continue asking for your help over and over again. In fact, the only time they communicate with you is when they need something. You have been so helpful to your colleagues and there has rarely been any return from them.
In a very broad sense, it is advantageous to be kind to others, and your kind acts will be appreciated and, perhaps, paid forward. However, you need to be willing to say “no”. Recognize when your plate is already too full. When people ask you a favor, assess if you have the time, energy, and attention to give to them. To truly be kind, sometimes you need to be more comfortable saying “no” to others and saying “yes” to yourself.
9 What has the Mayo Clinic found concerning kindness
A. It does good to our mind.
B. It reduces hormone levels.
C. It adds years to people’s life.
D. It leads to the success of civilizations.
10. What might the new person feel one year later
A. Grateful. B. Bored. C. Disappointed. D. Energetic.
11. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean
A. When you’re too full to eat anything.
B. When your kind acts get appreciated.
C. When you should ask others a favor.
D. When you’re physically and mentally tired.
12. What can be the best title for the text
A Your kindness counts for your well-being!
B. Are we tiring ourselves with kindness
C. Why are random acts of kindness important
D. Never underestimate the power of kindness at work!
