illness. W: You’re smart. Many things that people enjoy are bad for them. What we need is actually more

【原文】
This is Bruce Ogilvy with the noon news update for City Radio. President Barry Jeffries has announced that
the government will provide £60 million in relief to communities that suffered from the effects of the weekend
earthquake. Hundreds of people who lost homes have been housed in hotels, the homes of volunteers and schools.
Some of the money promised by the President will be used to help repair roads and bridges which were badly
damaged by the disaster. Caroline Crawford, a spokesperson for the President, said the £60 million was just the first
payment. Then another £100 million was to be given from the fund for rebuilding the broken houses. The
earthquake is so far known to have cost ten lives. However, there was one piece of good news this morning. A ten-
year-old boy found his anxious parents after being lost in the chaos. The rescue team also needs more medical
workers to join. If you want to help, please call our local Red Cross. For more news and information on the efforts,
visit our website at www.citynews.com. We’ll be providing updates every hour or whenever an important story
breaks. This has been Bruce Ogilvy with the news. Stay tuned for a full weather update.

【答案与解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个最佳参观熊猫的场所。
21.细节理解题。根据每个部分的Activities 可以看出，四个参观大熊猫的地点只有第三个地方 Giant Panda
Breeding Research Base中的“Activities: seeing pandas and cubs, watching panda breedingmovies(活动：看熊猫和熊猫宝宝，看熊猫繁育电影)”没有提供熊猫饲养员项目，故选C。
22.细节理解题。根据 Giant Panda Breeding Research Base 中的“September is the best time to see adorable
newly-born cubs and naughty year-old panda cubs. Visiting the panda playground in the morning will brighten your
trip. You might see them snoozing on tree stumps, gamboling with one another, or crunching on bamboo shoots. . .
(九月是看到可爱的新生熊猫宝宝和顽皮的一岁熊猫宝宝的最佳时间。早上参观熊猫乐园会让你的旅行更愉
快。你可能会看到它们在树桩上打盹，彼此嬉戏，或者嚼竹笋……)”可知，9月份的早上最适合去看年幼
的熊猫，它们那时活动最多，最活跃。广州长隆野生动物园的大熊猫数量未给出，所以无法比较数量关系，
故选B。
23.推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了几个最佳参观熊猫的场所，所以本文出现在“旅行指南”
比较合适，故选B。
B
It seemed interesting that on the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s departure for France, the Indian and
French governments issued similar statements on the prospects of an agreement on the purchase of the Rafale
aircraft: that no single deal should be allowed to overshadow the Prime Minister’s visit. Indeed, India-France
relations are much bigger than any one contract; they represent the cultural affinityl(密切关系)and historic
relations between two vibrant(醒目的)democracies. The items on the Prime Minister’s agenda reflected the range
of commonalities—from the preservation of ancient architecture to the development of Puducherry and Chandigarh
as smart cities; from the construction of semi-high-speed railway lines to cooperation on a space mission to Mars;
from discussing anti-terror training to tackling climate change through renewable technologies and a robust nuclear
partnership. The economic aspect of the relationship has been ignored for too long. Although more than a thousand
French companies have a total investment of about $20 billion in India, bilateral trade is worth just $8 billion.
While all this deserved attention, it was disappointing that the Prime Minister put the spotlight back on defence ties
by making a surprise announcement on the purchase of 36 Rafale aircraft as the highlight of his talks with President
Francois Hollande. If the outright purchase was a crucial military necessity, it could have been discussed a few
weeks before or after the visit, as a political push for the deal was secondary to the technical specifications and
delivery requirements. Moreover, the deal, which involves purchasing products off the shelf abroad, detracts from
Mr. Modi’s “Make in India” initiative(主动性).
The breakthrough on the Areva nuclear equipment deal, on the other hand, shows the positive outcome of Mr.
Modi’s and Mr. Hollande’s political push, combined with a “Make in India” twist. As in the case of Indo-U.S.
nuclear negotiations, Mr. Modi and Mr. Hollande decided to clear the logjam by splitting the problem into different
silos—allowing for separate mechanisms for the pricing issues and for the technical and legal aspects. The
supplementary deal involving Areva and L&T producing heavy forging metal casing for nuclear reactors is an
important step in localising some of the expensive parts. During his visit to Canada, where he hopes to sign a deal
for uranium supplies, Mr. Modi means to take forward his plan to increase nuclear energy production. Given this
objective, it may be useful for him to round off the visit by discussing his nuclear energy plans in Germany as well,
which is now winding down on nuclear power but is at the cutting edge of nuclear safety research for the European
Pressurised Reactors that are being considered for India.24.Which of the following got the whole attention other than many important deals?
A. Cooperation on a space mission to Mars. B. Anti-terror training.
C. Purchase of Rafale Fighters. D. General VK Singh’s remark on the Press.
25.Which of the following option is on the agenda of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi as stated above?
A. Preservation of ancient architecture.
B. Development of Puducherry and Chandigarh as smart cities.
C. Construction of semi-high-speed railway lines.
D. All of the above.
26.Choose an appropriate Title for the above passage: .
A. The Big Deal B. Modi’s Success C. Modi’s tour to FranceD. Rafale and beyond
27.Which of the following is the meaning of the word ‘logjam’?
A. A long traffic jam during Prime Minister Modi’s visit.
B. A state of mind where you cannot decide what to do.
C. A situation that seems like unable to be settled.
D. A place from where The French President used to work.
【答案与解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪的法国之行中在法国签署两项协议
的相关情况。
24.推理判断题。由第一段中的“While all this deserved attention, it was disappointing that the Prime Minister
put the spotlight back on defence ties by making a surprise announcement on the purchase of 36 Rafale aircraft as
the highlight of his talks with President Francois Hollande. If the outright purchase was a crucial military necessity,
it could have been discussed a few weeks before or after the visit, as a political push for the deal was secondary to
the technical specifications and delivery requirements. Moreover, the deal, which involves purchasing products off
the shelf abroad, detracts from Mr. Modi’s “Make in India” initiative(主动性).(尽管所有这些都值得关注，但令
人失望的是，总理出人意料地宣布购买36架“阵风”战斗机，作为他与法国总统Francois Hollande会谈的
重点，从而将焦点重新放在了国防关系上。如果直接购买是一项至关重要的军事必要性，那么可以在访问
之前或之后几周进行讨论，因为政治上推动该交易的力度仅次于技术规格和交付要求。此外，该协议涉及
到在国外购买现成产品，有损于Modi的“印度制造”计划)”可知，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪要在法国购买
36架“阵风”战斗机，人们对此很失望、费解，可得出这一行为引起了人们的关注，故选C项。
25.细节理解题。由第一段中的“The items on the Prime Minister’s agenda reflected the range of commonalities
—from the preservation of ancient architecture to the development of Puducherry and Chandigarh as smart cities;
from the construction of semi-high-speed railway lines to cooperation on a space mission to Mars; from discussing
anti-terror training to tackling climate change through renewable technologies and a robust nuclear partnership.(总
理议程上的项目反映了一系列共同点——从古建筑的保护到普杜切里和昌迪加尔作为智慧城市的发展；从
修建半高速铁路到合作火星太空任务；从讨论反恐培训到通过可再生技术和强大的核伙伴关系应对气候变
化)”可知，纳伦德拉·莫迪总理的议程上包括：古建筑保护、将普杜切里和昌迪加尔发展为智慧城市和修建
半高速铁路线，故选D项。26.主旨大意题。第一段讲述“印度总理Narendra Modi在法国签署购买36架“阵风”战斗机协议的相关情
况”和第二段讲述“印度总理Narendra Modi在法国签署阿海珐核设备协议的相关情况”可知，文章主要
讲印度总理Narendra Modi在法国签署两项协议的相关情况，C项“Modi的法国之行”符合文意，故选C
项。
27.词句猜测题。第二段中的“The breakthrough on the Areva nuclear equipment deal, on the other hand, shows
the positive outcome of Mr. Modi’s and Mr. Hollande’s political push, combined with a “Make in India” twist. As
in the case of Indo-U.S. nuclear negotiations, Mr. Modi and Mr. Hollande decided to clear the logjam by splitting
the problem into different silos—allowing for separate mechanisms for the pricing issues and for the technical and
legal aspects.(另一方面，阿海珐核设备协议的突破显示了Modi和Hollande政治努力的积极成果，以及“印
度制造”的转变。就像印度-美国核谈判一样，Modi和Hollande决定通过将问题分成不同的筒仓来消除
logjam，从而为定价问题以及技术和法律方面建立单独的机制)”可知，在Modi和Hollande政治努力下，通
过将问题分成不同的筒仓，定价问题以及技术和法律方面才能建立单独的机制，说明之前的问题难以解决，
logjam在此处意为“似乎无法解决的局面(A situation that seems like unable to be settled)”，故选C项。
C
Up and down the economic ladder, many Americans who work—and especially those raising kids—are
pressed for time, wishing they had more of it to devote to leisure activities(or even just sleeping). At the same time,
research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those who are idle, whether their busyness
is purposeful or not.
A research paper released late last year investigated this trade-off, attempting to pinpoint(精确指出)how much
leisure time is best. Its authors examined the relationship between the amount of “discretionary time” people had—
basically, how much time people spend awake and doing what they want—and how pleased they were with their
lives.
The paper, which analyzed data covering about 35,000 Americans, found that employed people’s ratings of
their satisfaction with life peaked when they had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For
people who didn’t work, the optimal(最佳)amount was four hours and 45 minutes.
The research traced a correlation(关联)between free time and life satisfaction, but didn’t provide any
definitive(最后的)insight into what underlies that correlation—“which is exciting, because this is a work in
progress,” says Cassie Mogilner Holmes, a professor at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management and a co-author
of the paper, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed or published in an academic journal.
An experiment that the researchers arranged hinted at(暗示)a possible explanation of the correlation they
found. They asked participants to picture and describe what it would be like to have a certain amount of daily free
time, and then report how they’d feel about that allotment(分配). “What we find is that having too little time makes
people feel stressed, and maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of
stress goes away—once you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say
they felt less productive overall, which could explain why having a lot of free time can feel like having too much
free time.
It’s not clear what an individual is to do with these findings, since the amount of free time people have usually
has something to do with a variety of factors, such as having children or a degree of control over work schedules.Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on happiness, and some of the most time-
crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and a half hours creates a nice goal that
even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can expect that it will translate into greater
life satisfaction.”
28.According to the passage, what happens to Americans occupied with their work?
A. They allow themselves more leisure time.
B. They keep themselves busy on purpose.
C. They know how much leisure time is best.
D. They experience higher level of satisfaction.
29.What can be learned about the correlation between free time and life satisfaction?
A. Researchers have cast light on the cause of the correlation.
B. Unemployed people need more leisure time to feel content.
C. The paper on the correlation has achieved peer recognition.
D. Employed people enjoy more leisure time in the neighborhood.
30.Which of the following charts illustrates the change of stress and productivity?
A. B.
C. D.
31.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A. Holmes is optimistic about the influence of her findings
B. individuals are encouraged to control their work schedules
C. people with tight schedules can’t benefit from the findings
D. the MBA students find no free time to obtain life satisfaction
【答案与解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现忙碌的人往往比闲着的人生活满意度更高，所需要的
休闲时间更少，研究者对这一研究对人们的影响持积极的态度。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“research has indicated that people who are busy tend to be happier than those
who are idle, whether their business is purposeful or not.”可知，研究表明, 忙碌的人往往比闲着的人更快乐，
也就是说忙于工作的美国人的满意度更高，故D项正确。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“found that employed people’s ratings of their satisfaction with life peakedwhenthey had in the neighborhood of two and a half hours of free time a day. For people who didn’t work, the
optimal(最佳)amount was four hours and 45 minutes.”可知，有工作的人满意的休息时间是两个半小时，而不
工作的人满意的休息时间则是4小时45分钟，也就是说不工作的人需要更多的休闲时间来感到满足，故B
项正确。
30.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“What we find is that having too little time makes people feel stressed,and
maybe that’s obvious,” says Holmes. “But interestingly, that effect goes away—the role of stress goes away—once
you approach the optimal point.” After that point, Holmes says, the subjects started to say they felt less productive
overall,”可知，时间太少会有压力，一旦你达到最佳状态，压力的作用就消失了，在那之后，受试者开始
说他们总体上感觉效率较低，D项与这个状态变化相吻合，故D项正确。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Holmes shared her research with the MBA students in her class on
happiness, and some of the most time-crunched among them were comforted by the findings: “I think that two and
a half hours creates a nice goal that even if you increase a little bit more of your discretionary time use, you can
expect that it will translate into greater life satisfaction”可知，Holmes将这个研究成果分享给了她的学生，很
多时间比较紧迫的学生得到了安慰，并且她说“我认为两个半小时能创造出一个很好的目标，即使你只增
加一点自由支配的时间，你也可以期望它能转化为更大的生活满意度，也由此可以看出她对研究结果的影
响的态度是很积极的， 故A项正确。
D
In the late 1970s, archaeologists(考古学家)uncovered the remains of a woman and a young dog, her hand
resting on the puppy’s chest in a 12,000-year-old village.
The find is some of the earliest evidence of the bond between humans and dogs. But even after years of study
researchers are divided on how this bond began. Did it arise over thousands of years, as early dogs became
tamer(驯服的)and more accustomed to human behaviors? Or was this fire already burning in the ancestors of dogs:
the gray wolf?
Christina Hansen Wheat, a behavioral ecologist at Stockholm University, and workmates hand-raised 10 gray
wolves from the time they were 10 days old. When the animals were 23 weeks old, a caregiver led them one at a
time into a mostly empty room. Over the course of several minutes, the caregiver exited and entered the room,
sometimes leaving the wolf alone, sometimes leaving it with a complete stranger. The team repeated the experiment
with 12 23-week-old Alaskan huskies(哈士奇), which they’d raised similarly since puppyhood.
For the most part, the scientists saw few differences between the wolves and the dogs. When their caregiver
entered the room, both species scored 4.6 on a five-point scale of “greeting behavior”—a desire to be around the
human. When the stranger entered, dog greeting behavior dropped to 4.2 and wolf to 3.5, on average, suggesting
both animals made a distinction between the person they knew and the one they didn’t. It’s this distinction that the
team counts as a sign of attachment.
In addition, dogs barely paced—a sign of stress—during the test, while wolves paced at least part of the time.
However, the wolves stopped pacing almost entirely when a stranger left the room and their caretaker returned.
Hansen Wheat says that’s never been seen before in wolves. It could be a sign, she says, that the animals view the
humans who raised them as a “social buffer”.For her, that’s the most interesting part of the study. “If this is true, this sort of attachment is not what separates
dogs from wolves,” she says. In other words, it didn’t have to be bred into them by humans, but could have been
the seed we selected for, and then strengthened over thousands of years.
32.What’s the purpose of Hansen Wheat’s experiment?
A. To find out what makes gray wolves and dogs different.
B. To explain the reasons why humans raised dogs from ancient times.
C. To argue gray wolves after being tamed are easier to keep than dogs.
D. To prove whether gray wolves can make doglike attachment to people.
33.What do we know about Hansen Wheat’s experiment from paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Researchers began to raise gray wolves from their birth.
B. Researchers used equal numbers of gray wolves and dogs.
C. Gray wolves felt more stressful than dogs when a stranger came.
D. “Greeting behavior” of the two animals was significantly different.
34.What do the underlined words “social buffer” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. A reminder of feeding. B. A sign of social attachment.
C. A source of comfort and support. D. A warning of stopping pace.
35.What will Hansen Wheat probably agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Dogs are more attached to humans than gray wolves.
B. It is the attachment to humans that sets gray wolves apart from dogs.
C. The attachment between dogs and humans is the result of being tamed.
D. The attachment to humans plays a role in the choice of dogs or gray wolves.
【答案与解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了狼和狗与人类之间的联系，以及它们在陌生人、陌生环境前
的表现。
32.细节理解题。第二段提到“But even after years of study researchers are divided on how this bond began. Did
it arise over thousands of years, as early dogs became tamer( 驯 服 的 )and more accustomed to human
behaviors? Or was this fire already burning in the ancestors of dogs: the gray wolf?”(但即使经过多年的研究，研
究人员对这种联系是如何开始的仍存在分歧。它是在几千年的时间里，随着早期的狗变得更驯服，更习惯
人类的行为而出现的吗?或者这种火已经在狗的祖先灰狼身上燃烧了?)由此判断，研究人员想要了解人和狗
之间的亲密关系是狗变得更容易驯服之后形成的还是在狗的祖先狼身上就已经形成，即他们想证明狼是否
也会和人做出像狗一样的亲密活动，故选D。
33.推理判断题。第四段提到“When the stranger entered, dog greeting behavior dropped to 4.2 and wolf to 3.5,
on average, suggesting both animals made a distinction between the person they knew and the one they didn’t.”(当
陌生人进来时，狗的问候行为平均下降到4.2分，狼的问候行为平均下降到3.5分，这表明这两种动物都区
分了它们认识的人和不认识的人)由此判断，当狼和狗遇到陌生人的时候，他们的分数都有所下降，尤其是
狼的分数更低，说明狼会在陌生人面前会更加有压力，故选C。
34.词义猜测题。第五段提到“In addition, dogs barely paced—a sign of stress—during the test, while wolves
paced at least part of the time. However, the wolves stopped pacing almost entirely when a stranger left the room
and theircaretaker returned.”(此外，狗在测试中几乎没有踱步——这是压力的一种表现，而狼至少在部分时间里踱
步。然而，当一个陌生人离开房间，它们的管理员回来时，狼几乎完全停止了踱步)由此判断，狼在陌生的
环境和面对陌生人的时候会更加感觉到压力，但是当它熟悉的人回来之后，它就停止了踱步，说明熟悉的
人的缓解了它的压力，而这个熟悉的人是带给它支持和安慰的人，故选C。
35.推理判断题。最后一段提到“In other words, it didn’t have to be bred into them by humans, but could have
been the seed we selected for, and then strengthened over thousands of years.”(换句话说，它不必由人类培育，
而可能是我们选择的种子，然后经过数千年的强化)由此判断，狼和狗一样对人都有依恋，只不过人类选择
了狗为载体培养了这颗依恋的种子，因此对于人的依恋才是最重要的，故选D。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Color psychology is the study of how colors affect human behavior, mood, or physiological processes. Colors
affect our feelings and memories. 36 Companies choose colors that they believe will motivate customers to
buy their products and improve brand awareness.
Color perception is very subjective, as different people have different ideas about and responses to colors.
Several factors influence color perception, which makes it difficult to determine if color alone impacts our
emotions and actions. 37 In some cultures, for example, white is associated with happiness and purity. In a
situation where a woman is wearing a white wedding dress, is she happy because she is influenced by the color
white or because she is getting married? To someone from a different culture, wearing white may signify sadness.
38
While no direct cause and effect relationship between color and behavior has been found, some generalizations
about colors and what they may symbolize have been determined. Colors including red, yellow, and orange are
considered warm colors. 39 Cool colors include blue, violet, and green. These colors are associated with
calmness and coolness.
40 We see colors with our brains. Our eyes are important for detecting and responding to light, but it is
the brain's visual center in the occipital lobes(枕叶)that processes visual information and assigns color. The colors
we see are determined by the wavelength of light that is reflected. The brain integrates these wavelength signals
enabling us to distinguish among millions of different colors.
A. We don’t actually see colors with our eyes.
B. Our brain associates the wavelength with a color.
C. Colors also have been used to treat various diseases.
D. They are even thought to influence our buying choices.
E. These colors are thought to stimulate exciting emotions.
F. The influential factors of color perception include age and culture.
G. This is because white is associated with sorrow and death in those cultures.
【答案与解析】本文是说明文。介绍了色彩如何影响人类行为、情绪或生理过程等，有很多因素会影响颜
色感知，如年龄或文化等等。我们实际上不是用眼睛看到颜色的。我们用大脑看到颜色。
36.此处为段中设空，要根据前后文的语义逻辑关系来判断。根据前一句“Colors affect our feelings andmemories.(颜色影响我们的感觉和记忆)”可知，这一空将会继续说颜色的影响。根据后一句“Companies
choose colors that they believe will motivate customers to buy their products and improve brand awareness.(公司
选择他们认为会激励顾客购买他们的产品和提高品牌知名度的颜色)”可知，颜色会影响我们的购买选择。
D选项“他们甚至被认为会影响我们的购买选择。”符合语境，故选D。
37.此处为段中设空，要根据前后文的语义逻辑关系来判断。根据上文“Several factors influence color
perception, which makes it difficult to determine if color alone impacts our emotions and actions.(有几个因素会影
响颜色感知，这使得很难确定颜色是否会单独影响我们的情绪和行为)”可知，这一空将会谈到“颜色感知
的影响因素”。根据下文“In some cultures, for example, white is associated with happiness and purity.(例如，
在某些文化中，白色与幸福和纯洁联系在一起)”和“ To someone from a different culture, wearing white may
signify sadness.(对于来自不同文化的人来说，穿白色可能意味着悲伤)”可知，文化是影响颜色感知的因素之
一。F选项“The influential factors of color perception include age and culture.”中，“The influential factors of
color perception”与上文一致，“culture”与下文一致，故选F。
38.此处为段末设空，在语义上要承接上文。根据上文“To someone from a different culture, wearing white
may signify sadness.(对于来自不同文化的人来说，穿白色可能意味着悲伤)”可知，此空可能会通过举例等方
式来对前一句观点进行论证。G 选项“This is because white is associated with sorrow and death in those
cultures.(这是因为在那些文化中，白色与悲伤和死亡联系在一起)”与语境相符，故选G。
39.此处为段中设空，要根据前后文的语义逻辑关系来判断。根据上文“Colors including red, yellow, and
orange are considered warm colors.(包括红色、黄色和橙色在内的颜色被认为是暖色)”和下文“Cool colors
include blue, violet, and green. These colors are associated with calmness and coolness.(冷色包括蓝色、紫色和绿
色。这些颜色与平静和冷静联系在一起)”可知，此处应该要说明暖色调与情绪的关联性。E选项“These
colors are thought to stimulate exciting emotions.(这些颜色被认为能激发兴奋的情绪)”刚好与冷色调形成对比，
与下文一致。“these colors”指代“blue, violet, and green”，承接上文，故选E。
40.根据下文“Our eyes are important for detecting and responding to light, but it is the brain's visual center in the
occipital lobes(枕叶)that processes visual information and assigns color.(我们的眼睛对于探测光线和对光线做出
反应非常重要，但处理视觉信息和分配颜色的是大脑枕叶的视觉中心)”可知，We see colors with our brains.
(我们用大脑看到颜色)，言外之意，我们不是用眼睛看颜色的。A选项“We don’t actually see colors with
our eyes.”符合文意，故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Rick, a ten-year-old boy, was constantly angry at everything around him. He always fought in school with the
other kids. Once he had an outburst in school. Upset by something a classmate said to him, he pushed the boy, and a
fight happened. When the teacher stepped in to break it up, Rick went crazy, throwing papers and books around the
classroom and rushing out. His teachers couldn’t say anything that would comfort the kid. And the parents of his
schoolmates were getting concerned. Rick was earning quite the reputation. After talking with school officials,
Rick’s mom tried everything she could to calm Rick down.
She tried different methods until one day she came home with a canvas(画布)and paint. “What’s this?”, Rick
asked. Rick’s mom handed over the painting equipment and said, “Whenever you feel angry, paint whatever you’re
angry about instead of bursting out.” Rick wasn’t that happy about it but he gave it a try anyway. Over the next few
weeks, the young boy created several artworks. They mostly showed disturbing images though. So his mom took
all of the paintings and called Rick over so that they could talk about them. “Tell me, Rick. What are these
paintings about?”
“Well, the first painting is about how some of the kids show off their new clothes and pencil cases. The nextpainting is about my teacher who keeps telling me about how I’m doing things wrong. And the last painting is
about how one of my schoolmate’s father suggested that I change my attitude. All of them make me so angry.”
Rick’s mom, in a calm voice, took Rick by her side and told him: “Don’t you see it, Rick?” “See what?” Rick
asked. “You’re so angry at all of these things but not once did you try to understand why you’re getting so angry.
What have all these people done to you, really?”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Rick was lost in thought. It slowly dawned on him that people he was angry at had done nothing wrong. His
classmates who showed their new clothes and pencil cases to others might just want to share their happiness with
friends. His teacher did blame him because he was being a problem. And his schoolmate’s father was just trying to
help him correct his mistakes. They had no intention to hurt him but he just let his unreasonable anger consume him
and hurt them. How ridiculous he had been!
Rick knew it was time to change. From then on, Rick tried his best to control his temper. Every time he felt he
was to explode, he would walk away and ask himself why he was angry and whether it was reasonable to be angry.
Then he would find his peace and laughed his anger away. Gradually, everyone saw a different Rick. He no longer
shouted at others or threw things away. He chatted with classmates after class and complimented their new clothes
and pencil cases. He even helped teachers carry books before class sometimes. Rick’s change surprised everyone
and they all felt happy for him.公众号：高中试卷君
