My cell phone rang while I was working on my computer. I looked at the phone and saw it was my 17-year-old son, Tom. I quickly picked it up. “Mom, I got a 71 on the test. I did it.” With those few words, I could feel my heart start to pound.
Living in New York State. Students cannot graduate from high school unless they pass at least five exams: one in English, one in science, two in history and one in math. For most students, who work hard, attend class, and do their homework like my son, it isn't that hard. But for Tom, who is dyslexic (朗读困难), it is such a real challenge that some teachers have feared he would never be able to even attempt, never mind achieve.
We were honest with him about his trouble, letting him know that there was nothing to be ashamed of. Some people learn differently. If he was willing to work, we would help him find a way to do as much as he could in his academic career. All that was standing in his way was this math test. He had taken it three times and did better each time, but he continued to fail. He was starting to get a bit tired of me saying this was a marathon not a sprint (冲刺). My heart broke each time we would get the failing results.
“Momthanks. I love you. Thanks for believing I could do this.”
For one of the few times in my life, I really had nothing left to say. For that one brief moment I knew, really, really, knew that everything we did to help our son achieve what he wanted was worth it.
24. What does the underlined word “pound” in Paragraph l probably mean
A. Sink suddenly. B. Beat wildly.
C. Ache violently. D. Break totally.
25. According to the text, Tom was weak in _________.
A. English B. science C. history D. math
26. How did the writer feel when she wrote this text

A. A Mother's Love That Made the Grade
B. A Student Who Struggled for a Diploma
C. Failure Is the Mother of Success
D. Life Is Not a Sprint but a Marathon
C
Final exams are around the comer - but that won’t stop some teenagers putting in the least effort. This may be because their brains aren’t developed enough to properly assess how high the stakes (利害关系) are, and adapt their behaviour accordingly.
Catherine Insel, at Harvard University, and her team asked adolescents between the ages of 13 and 20 to play a game while monitoring their brains. In some rounds of the game, participants could earn 20 cents fora correct response, while an incorrect one would cost them 10 cents. But in rounds with higher stakes, correct responses were worth a dollar, and wrong answers lost the participants 50 cents.
The team found that while the older volunteers performed better in the high stakes rounds, the younger ones didn’t - their performance didn’t change in line with whether the stakes were low or high. And the older the volunteers were, the more improved their performance was.
When the team looked at the brain activity of the volunteers, they found that their ability to improve their performance was linked to how developed their brains were. A region in the brain, which continues to develop until we are at least 25 years old, seemed to be particularly important. The findings explain why some teenagers are so unconcerned when it comes to hazardous behaviors, such as driving too fast, for instance, especially when one of their friends is nearby.
Insel thinks schools should reconsider the way they test performance in teenagers. “This study suggests it’s not a good idea to evaluate school performance in a single final exam”, she says. A better idea would be to use a variety of smaller tests, conducted throughout the year.
It’s not all bad news for teens. though. Teenagers put the same amount of effort into tasks that aren’t important, and start to prefer hobbies to school. It could be a good thing, allowing teenagers to learn complex social skills, for example.
28. Why did the researchers set different bets in the game
A. To teach how to make money. B. To better monitor participants’ brains.
C. To show the varied risk levels of the game. D. To meet the needs of different participants.
29. What can be inferred from the passage
A. All students make every effort to prepare for their final exams.
B. The performances in different stakes have little to do with the age.
C. Not well-developed brains may account for teenagers’ risky behavior.
D. The levels of the stakes don’t influence the participants’ performances.
30. What should be kept in mind while assessing students’ performance
A. It should not be judged by only one exam. B. The items in exams should not be too difficult.
C. Exam-focused education should not be adopted. D. Examination is not a good means of evaluating students.
31. What is Insel’s attitude to teenagers’ putting effort into “unimportant” tasks
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Positive.
D
Grasses and short trees are growing and expanding around Mount Qomolangma and across the Hi ma lay an region as the area continued to experience the consequences of global warming, researchers have found. Using satellite data from 1993 to 2018, scientists measured “small but significant” increased between 4,150 and 6,000 meters above sea level. “There are now more areas that are covered in plants than there were in 1993,” said Anderson, a scientist who led the research.
While it is still too early to tell what impact this new growth could have on the region, “urgent research” on the potential effects is needed. “We don't know what the impact is — it might be the plants that cause the snow to melt more quickly,” Anderson added.
1.4 billion people depend on water collected in the region. Changes to water supplies could have great impacts on communities in different countries. “We know that plants and the water cycle are coupled,” Anderson explained. “Wherever you have plants growing, it changes the way the water cycle behaved in those areas. This is particularly important in the Himalayas because glaciers are reducing. We know from lots of scientific research that this is already having an impact on water supplies in this region and it will continue to do so as li-mate change continued.”
Climate change is already having an impact on Himalayan communities, A 2019 study found that Hi ma lay an glaciers have been losing almost half a meter of ice each year since the start of this century. This has already resulted in local communities being flooded — and could ultimately result in drought. Last year, a researcher from the International Centre found that at least a third of the ice in the region, which is home to Mount Qomolangma, could melt by the end of the century.
32. What changes happened to Mount Qomolangma from 1993 to 2018
A. Sea levels rose quickly. B. More plants grew there.
C. Grasses died out there. D. Temperatures declined.
33. Why does the author mention Anderson in paragraph 2
A. To explain the causes of climate change. B. To prove the effects of glaciers melting.
C. To present the reasons for plants growing. D. To show the necessity of the urgent research.
34. What affected the water supply in the Himalayas
A. The way of the water cycle. B. The varieties of plants.
C. The large population. D. The increasing glaciers.
35. Why would Himalayan communities end in drought
A. It seldom snows there. B. They have great floods these years.
C. The glaciers would disappear. D. More plants will grow there.

M: I didn’t expect there would be wind.
W: You are not a careful guy. You haven’t done enough to show your love for Jenny.

M: I’ll follow your advice.

More than 12 adults live at the camp, including their teacher who is also their mother. The others are workers who help cook and keep the camp clean, and researchers who have come to learn about wildlife. There are fifteen tents in the camp. Ten of them are for researchers and five of the them for camp workers. Jack and Ted take classes in the camp about four months out of the year. Ted’s favorite part of the day is when school is over. Then he can go and do other things, like going out with some of the students to research wild animals. Jack wants to train dogs for movies when he grows up. He likes the wild dogs best. He thinks they are very social animals and are always nice to each other. Both the boys have learned a lot about the animals that their father works to understand and protect.

My cell phone rang while I was working on my computer. I looked at the phone and saw it was my 17-year-old son, Tom. I quickly picked it up. “Mom, I got a 71 on the test. I did it.” With those few words, I could feel my heart start to pound.
Living in New York State. Students cannot graduate from high school unless they pass at least five exams: one in English, one in science, two in history and one in math. For most students, who work hard, attend class, and do their homework like my son, it isn't that hard. But for Tom, who is dyslexic (朗读困难), it is such a real challenge that some teachers have feared he would never be able to even attempt, never mind achieve.
We were honest with him about his trouble, letting him know that there was nothing to be ashamed of. Some people learn differently. If he was willing to work, we would help him find a way to do as much as he could in his academic career. All that was standing in his way was this math test. He had taken it three times and did better each time, but he continued to fail. He was starting to get a bit tired of me saying this was a marathon not a sprint (冲刺). My heart broke each time we would get the failing results.
“Mom,thanks. I love you. Thanks for believing I could do this.”
For one of the few times in my life, I really had nothing left to say. For that one brief moment I knew, really, really, knew that everything we did to help our son achieve what he wanted was worth it.
24. What does the underlined word “pound” in Paragraph l probably mean
A. Sink suddenly. B. Beat wildly.
C. Ache violently. D. Break totally.
25. According to the text, Tom was weak in _________.
A. English B. science C. history D. math
26. How did the writer feel when she wrote this text
A. She felt proud and satisfied.
B. She felt surprised and bitter.
C. She felt grateful and relaxed.
D. She felt worried and anxious.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Mother's Love That Made the Grade
B. A Student Who Struggled for a Diploma
C. Failure Is the Mother of Success
D. Life Is Not a Sprint but a Marathon
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的儿子Tom因为功课不好,而纽约高中毕业必须有五门课及格才可以;作者作为母亲想尽一切办法使儿子相信可以做到,经过努力Tom终于考了71分通过考试。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文““Mom, I got a 71 on the test. I did it.” With those few words (“妈妈,我考试得了71分。我做到了。”)可知作者听到儿子说做到了,考试及格了,应该是非常激动,所以下文意思是“听到这几句话,我的心开始怦怦直跳。”所以pound意思是连续重击,和B选项“beat wildly(疯狂地敲打)”同义。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“All that was standing in his way was this math test. He had taken it three times and did better each time, but he continued to fail. (唯一阻碍他的就是这次数学考试。他考了三次,一次比一次好,但还是失败了。)”可知,Tom已经考了三次数学,所以他的数学是弱课。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其最后一段“For one of the few times in my life, I really had nothing left to say. For that one brief moment I knew, really, really, knew that everything we did to help our son achieve what he wanted was worth it. (这是我一生中为数不多的几次,我真的无话可说。在那短暂的一刻,我知道,真的,真的,知道我们所做的一切帮助儿子实现他想要的是值得的。)”可知作者对于儿子最后通过考试很满意,也为儿子自豪。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者的儿子Tom因为功课不好,而纽约高中毕业必须有五门课及格才可以;作者作为母亲想尽一切办法使儿子相信可以做到,经过努力Tom终于考了71分通过考试。A选项“母爱获得了好成绩”符合文章主旨大意。故选A。
C
Final exams are around the comer - but that won’t stop some teenagers putting in the least effort. This may be because their brains aren’t developed enough to properly assess how high the stakes (利害关系) are, and adapt their behaviour accordingly.
Catherine Insel, at Harvard University, and her team asked adolescents between the ages of 13 and 20 to play a game while monitoring their brains. In some rounds of the game, participants could earn 20 cents fora correct response, while an incorrect one would cost them 10 cents. But in rounds with higher stakes, correct responses were worth a dollar, and wrong answers lost the participants 50 cents.
The team found that while the older volunteers performed better in the high stakes rounds, the younger ones didn’t - their performance didn’t change in line with whether the stakes were low or high. And the older the volunteers were, the more improved their performance was.
When the team looked at the brain activity of the volunteers, they found that their ability to improve their performance was linked to how developed their brains were. A region in the brain, which continues to develop until we are at least 25 years old, seemed to be particularly important. The findings explain why some teenagers are so unconcerned when it comes to hazardous behaviors, such as driving too fast, for instance, especially when one of their friends is nearby.
Insel thinks schools should reconsider the way they test performance in teenagers. “This study suggests it’s not a good idea to evaluate school performance in a single final exam”, she says. A better idea would be to use a variety of smaller tests, conducted throughout the year.
It’s not all bad news for teens. though. Teenagers put the same amount of effort into tasks that aren’t important, and start to prefer hobbies to school. It could be a good thing, allowing teenagers to learn complex social skills, for example.
28. Why did the researchers set different bets in the game
A. To teach how to make money. B. To better monitor participants’ brains.
C To show the varied risk levels of the game. D. To meet the needs of different participants.
29. What can be inferred from the passage
A. All students make every effort to prepare for their final exams.
B. The performances in different stakes have little to do with the age.
C. Not well-developed brains may account for teenagers’ risky behavior.
D. The levels of the stakes don’t influence the participants’ performances.
30. What should be kept in mind while assessing students’ performance
A. It should not be judged by only one exam. B. The items in exams should not be too difficult.
C. Exam-focused education should not be adopted. D. Examination is not a good means of evaluating students.
31. What is Insel’s attitude to teenagers’ putting effort into “unimportant” tasks
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Positive.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项实验研究的结果表明,青少年大脑判断事情重要程度的能力随着年龄增大而增加,因此,学校应该重新考虑对青少年进行考试的方式,即使用各种各样的小型测试在全年进行。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The team found that while the older volunteers performed better in the high stakes rounds, the younger ones didn’t — their performance didn’t change in line with whether the stakes were low or high. (研究小组发现,虽然年龄较大的志愿者在高风险回合中表现更好,但年龄较小的志愿者没有——他们的表现并没有随着风险的高低而改变)”可知,研究的结果发现“年纪稍大的参与者在利害关系更高的回合中表现得更好”。由此可推知,研究人员设置不同赌注的目的是为了使游戏的冒险程度不同。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When the team looked at the brain activity of the volunteers, they found that their ability to improve their performance was linked to how developed their brains were. A region in the brain, which continues to develop until we are at least 25 years old, seemed to be particularly important. The findings explain why some teenagers are so unconcerned when it comes to hazardous behaviors, such as driving too fast, for instance, especially when one of their friends is nearby.(当研究小组观察志愿者的大脑活动时,他们发现志愿者提高表现的能力与他们的大脑发育程度有关。大脑中的一个区域在我们至少25岁之前一直在发育,这个区域似乎特别重要。这些发现解释了为什么一些青少年对于危险行为如开车太快这样的危险行为漠不关心,尤其是当他们的朋友在附近的时候。)”可知,研究发现志愿者提高表现的能力与他们的大脑发育程度有关,这解释了为什么一些青少年对于危险行为漠不关心,由此可推知,不发达的大脑可能是青少年危险行为的原因。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句话““This study suggests it’s not a good idea to evaluate school performance in a single final exam”, she says. (她表示:“这项研究表明,在一次期末考试中评估学校表现并不是一个好主意”。一个更好的办法是使用各种各样的小型测试,全年进行。)”可知,在评价学生的成绩时应该注意不应该只通过一次考试来判断。故选A。
【31题详解】
观点态度题。根据最后一段“It’s not all bad news for teens. though. Teenagers put the same amount of effort into tasks that aren’t important, and start to prefer hobbies to school. It could be a good thing, allowing teenagers to learn complex social skills, for example.(不过,这对青少年来说并不都是坏消息。青少年将同样的精力投入到不“重要”的任务中,并开始喜欢业余爱好而不是上学。这可能是一件好事,比如让青少年学习复杂的社交技能)”可推知,Insel认为青少年花时间做一些不重要的事情可能也是一件好事,让他们可以学到复杂的社交技巧。由此推知,Insel对此态度是“赞同的”。故选D。
D
Grasses and short trees are growing and expanding around Mount Qomolangma and across the Hi ma lay an region as the area continued to experience the consequences of global warming, researchers have found. Using satellite data from 1993 to 2018, scientists measured “small but significant” increased between 4,150 and 6,000 meters above sea level. “There are now more areas that are covered in plants than there were in 1993,” said Anderson, a scientist who led the research.
While it is still too early to tell what impact this new growth could have on the region, “urgent research” on the potential effects is needed. “We don't know what the impact is — it might be the plants that cause the snow to melt more quickly,” Anderson added.
1.4 billion people depend on water collected in the region. Changes to water supplies could have great impacts on communities in different countries. “We know that plants and the water cycle are coupled,” Anderson explained. “Wherever you have plants growing, it changes the way the water cycle behaved in those areas. This is particularly important in the Himalayas because glaciers are reducing. We know from lots of scientific research that this is already having an impact on water supplies in this region and it will continue to do so as li-mate change continued.”
Climate change is already having an impact on Himalayan communities, A 2019 study found that Hi ma lay an glaciers have been losing almost half a meter of ice each year since the start of this century. This has already resulted in local communities being flooded — and could ultimately result in drought. Last year, a researcher from the International Centre found that at least a third of the ice in the region, which is home to Mount Qomolangma, could melt by the end of the century.
32. What changes happened to Mount Qomolangma from 1993 to 2018
A. Sea levels rose quickly. B. More plants grew there.
C. Grasses died out there. D. Temperatures declined.
33. Why does the author mention Anderson in paragraph 2
A. To explain the causes of climate change. B. To prove the effects of glaciers melting.
C To present the reasons for plants growing. D. To show the necessity of the urgent research.
34. What affected the water supply in the Himalayas
A. The way of the water cycle. B. The varieties of plants.
C. The large population. D. The increasing glaciers.
35. Why would Himalayan communities end in drought
A. It seldom snows there. B. They have great floods these years.
C. The glaciers would disappear. D. More plants will grow there.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】

【33题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“While it is still too early to tell what impact this new growth could have on the region, “urgent research” on the potential effects is needed. (虽然现在说这种新的增长可能对该地区产生什么影响还为时过早,但需要对潜在影响进行“迫切研究”)”可知,作者提到Anderson是为了说明迫切需要进行研究。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“Wherever you have plants growing, it changes the way the water cycle behaved in those areas. (无论你在哪里种植植物,它都会改变这些地区的水循环方式)”可知,水循环的方式影响了水供应。故选A项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。由尾段“A 2019 study found that Hi ma lay an glaciers have been losing almost half a meter of ice each year since the start of this century. This has already resulted in local communities being flooded — and could ultimately result in drought. (2019年的一项研究发现,自本世纪初以来,Hi malay an冰川每年都会流失近半米的冰层。这已经导致当地社区被洪水淹没,并最终可能导致干旱)”可知,冰川消失最终会导致喜马拉雅地区干旱。故选C项。

Previously, you may have only had opportunities to socialize with other students in your classes.____37____.
Attend events
____38____. Whether it’s special lectures, career fairs, musical performances, or anything else, these occasions bring students together outside of the classroom. By participating in activities that correspond to their hobbies or preferences, you and your peers can meet other like-minded students. Plus, the event can be an initial topic of conversation, giving your peers an easy way to engage with others.
____39____
College work will occupy most of your day. Your health, for one, is something you may start to neglect as you throw yourself fully into college life. Needless to say, ignoring your health is absolutely unacceptable.____40____. You can start with your pal by heading over to your school’s gym or fit-ness center and try meeting new people there.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要说明了如何在社区大学交到朋友。
【36题详解】
上文“Making friends in community college is a bit trickier than in four-year schools in some cases. Students don’t typically dorm at community colleges, so there isn’t always a shared living environment.(在某些情况下,在社区大学交朋友比在四年制大学要棘手一些。学生通常不住在社区大学,所以并不总是有一个共享的生活环境。)”提出在社区大学难交到朋友,下文“Here’s a look at how to make friends at a community college.(下面我们来看看如何在社区大学交朋友。)”却在讲在社区大学难交朋友的方法,上下文有转折关系。D项“However, that doesn’t mean opportunities aren’t available(然而,这并不意味着没有机会)”承上启下,引出下文。故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Previously, you may have only had opportunities to socialize with other students in your classes.(以前,你可能只有机会与班上的其他学生交往。)”讲在没有做兼职前,你的圈子就是你班上的同学。C项“You may start to see some new faces at your job though.(但是你可能会开始在工作中看到一些新面孔。)”说明在兼职的时候会遇到新面孔,解释了“Get hired on campus”的原因,上下文语意一致。故选C项。
【38题详解】
根据小标题“Attend events(参加活动)”和下文“Whether it’s special lectures, career fairs, musical performances, or anything else, these occasions bring students together outside of the classroom.(无论是特别讲座、招聘会、音乐表演,还是其他什么,这些场合都能让学生们在课堂之外聚在一起。)”可知,本段主要说明大学各种课内外活动对于社交的影响。F项“Community colleges do hold a variety of activities throughout the year(社区大学全年都有各种各样的活动)”与主题一致,引出下文。故选F项。
【39题详解】
设空句是段首小标题。根据下文“Your health, for one, is something you may start to neglect as you throw yourself fully into college life. Needless to say, ignoring your health is absolutely unacceptable.(比如,当你全身心投入大学生活时,你可能会开始忽视你的健康。不用说,忽视你的健康是绝对不可接受的。)”和“You can start with your pal by heading over to your school’s gym or fit-ness center and try meeting new people there.(你可以和你的朋友一起去学校的健身房或健身中心,尝试在那里结识新朋友。)”可知,本段和体育锻炼有关,所以A项“Work out with a partner(和同伴一起锻炼)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“You can start with your pal by heading over to your school’s gym or fit-ness center and try meeting new people there.(你可以和你的朋友一起去学校的健身房或健身中心,尝试在那里结识新朋友。)”可知,要找朋友一起锻炼,是对G项“Finding yourself an exercise buddy will help encourage you to become more active(给自己找一个运动伙伴会帮助你变得更积极)”信息的承接与说明。故选G项。
