第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Dear readers,
“Persist.”—Viet Thanh Nguyen
“Success is no accident.”—Chris Bohjalian
“Keep writing and it’ll get easier.”—Lisa Jewell
“Be patient with yourself.”—Min Jin Lee
These are words of advice taken from our interviews with award-winning and bestselling authors. Notice,
though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success. And while status,
literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of
those things to happen. That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page.
In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether thatmess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s
article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an
unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van
Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your
luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them.
Wish you success and happy new year!
21. The advice mentioned at the beginning highlights the importance of ______.
A. a big dream B. constant practice C. earning money D. achieving success
22. Whose article may help those who are unsure whether to save an unsuccessful novel?
A. Matty Dalrympl. B. Michael La Ronn.
C. Ryan Van Cleave. D. Andromeda Romano.
23. Who might be the target readers of this issue?
A. Writers. B. Businessmen. C. Booksellers. D. Literary agents.
B
I’m in a coffee shop in Manhattan and I’m about to become the most disliked person in the room. First, I’m
going to interrupt the man reading quietly near the window and ask for a drink of his latte. Next, I’m going to ask
the line of people waiting to pay if I can cut to the front of the queue. This is how I chose to spend my last vacation.
Here’s why.
Growing up, all I ever heard about was “EQ.” It was the mid-1990s, and psychologist Daniel Goleman had
just popularized the concept of emotional intelligence. Unlike IQ, which tracked conventional measures of
intelligence like reasoning and recall, EQ measured the ability to understand other people — to listen, to
empathize(共情), and to appreciate.
My mother, an elementary school principal, prized brains and hard work, but she placed a special
emphasis on Goleman’s new idea. To her, EQ was the elixir(万能药) that separated the good students
from the great after they left school. She was determined to send me into the adult world with as much of
this elixir as possible.
But when I finally began my first job, I noticed a second elixir in the pockets of some of my colleagues. It
gave their opinions extra weight and their decisions added impact. Strangest of all, it seemed like the anti-EQ:
Instead of knowing how to make others feel good, this elixir gave people the courage to do the opposite — to say
things others didn’t want to hear.
This was assertiveness(魄力). It boiled down to the command of a single skill: the ability to have
uncomfortable conversations. Assertive people — those with high “AQ”— ask for things they want,
decline things they don’t, provide constructive feedback, and engage in direct confrontation(对峙) and
debate.
A lifetime improving my EQ helped me empathize with others, but it also left me overly sensitive to situations
where I had to say or do things that might make others unhappy. While I didn’t avoid conflict, I was always
frustrated by my powerlessness when I had to say or do something that could upset someone. This is my problem
and I’m working on it.
24. Why did the author act that way in the coffee shop?A. To improve a skill. B. To test a concept.
C. To advocate a new idea. D. To have a unique vacation.
25. What do we know about the author’s mother?
A. She thought little of IQ.
B. She popularized Goleman’s idea.
C. She was a strict mother and principal.
D. She valued EQ as the key to greatness.
26. What does the word “it” underlined in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A. EQ. B. AQ. C. Empathy. D. Courage.
27. According to the passage, those with high EQ but low AQ are likely to be ______.
A. successful leaders B. people pleasers
C. terrible complainers D. pleasure seekers
C
Sometimes we only appreciate something when we realize we may lose it. That is the story of the Everglades.
A shallow slow-moving river, the Everglades once covered about 18,000 square miles of southern Florida. Until the
1900s, few people lived in the grassy wetlands. Not much was understood about the unique balance of nature that
existed there. Plants, creatures, and water had formed a remarkable ecosystem.
By the early 1900s, Florida’s pleasant winters attracted more people. Visitors became new permanent
residents. They built homes and roads. The conditions looked good for farming, so the newcomers planted large
agricultural crops. But South Florida’s cycle of flooding was a problem. To address that, developers
attempted to drain(排水) the land. They also built structures to control water levels and flow.
Those changes made it easier for more people to live year-round in South Florida. However, they also
disturbed life in the Everglades, which depends on freshwater regularly refilling the land. The area’s growing
human population needed freshwater. And large farms consumed large quantities of freshwater. By the mid-1900s,
water levels in southern Florida began to go down. Lack of freshwater wasn’t the only problem. As more and more
land was developed for people and farms, the Everglades’ historic boundaries contracted. Loss of habitat and
hunting threatened the survival of native species in the Everglades.
Some people hoped that the government’s recognition might save the Everglades. They fought for it.
Everglades National Park was established in 1947. It became the first park in the United States created for its
biodiversity.
Now, Everglades National Park protects 1.5 million acres along the southern tip of Florida. An amazing variety
of creatures live there. About 360 different species of birds have been sighted in the park. Nearly 300 different
species of fish have been identified. About 40 species of mammals and 50 species of reptiles inhabit the park.
Nature still rules in the Everglades, a place worth understanding, appreciating, and protecting.
28. What was the Everglades like before the 1900s?
A. Naturally wild. B. Partly explored.
C. Completely lifeless. D. Thickly populated.
29. What problem did new residents cause for the Everglades?
A. A cycle of flooding.B. Pollution of freshwater.
C. Possible extinction of native species.
D. The extension of historic boundaries.
30. Why are the figures mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To attract visitors to the park.
B. To stress the great power of nature.
C. To call for more efforts to protect nature.
D. To show the successful conservation of the park.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. How people adapted to life in the Everglades.
B. How Everglades National Park was established.
C. How humans harmed and saved the Everglades.
D. How the ecosystem of the Everglades was formed.
D
American families don’t save money like they used to. In 2018 the personal saving rate was somewhere
around 7%, which is well below the rate of a few decades ago.
There are a lot of potential explanations for this. Wage growth has slowed while necessities such as housing
and medical care have grown more expensive. The rise of easy credit has made overspending easier than ever. And
the number of people who make a budget is decreasing.
Now, a team of U. S. and Canadian economists have proposed a new explanation for the declining savings
rate, one rooted in individual psychology. At its heart lies a simple observation: Spending is a lot more visible than
not spending. Humans are social creatures, and we have a tendency to evaluate our own standing in life relative to
how our friends and neighbors are doing. We want to keep up with the Joneses, and stay ahead of the Smiths.
Because of this, when we see other people spending money we have a tendency to believe that we can — or should
— be spending too. Nowadays, changes in the media landscape have made other people’s spending more visible
than ever. That, in turn, is making all of us spend even more — and save even less.
David Hirshleifer, one of the economists, said that “it’s easy to think that you’re saving enough because you
are not throwing luxury parties or taking expensive journeys the way some people you know are.” But, he warned,
“those journeys and parties may not really be typical of your acquaintances — they just stand out in memory.”
The economists imply that finding ways to make non-spending more visible might help individuals develop
more realistic views of overall spending and saving behavior. “Make a special effort to notice when your friends are
careful with money, such as holding on to their 15-year-old car,” Hirshleifer said.
32. Which of the following is a potential explanation for the low saving rate in America?
A. The reduction in the income. B. The easy access to money.
C. The growing desire for housing. D. The difficulty in sticking to a budget.
33. The “individual psychology” mentioned in paragraph 3 refers to a tendency to ______.
A. show off wealth B. connect with others
C. compare oneself to others D. adapt oneself to social change
34. What is the warning of David Hirshleifer?A. It is improper to copy others’ spending habits.
B. It is unwise to spend more than one can afford.
C. One may spend too much on journeys and parties.
D. One may have misunderstanding of others’ spending habits.
35. What do the economists suggest people do?
A. Make good use of money.
B. Save as much money as possible.
C. Pay attention to non-spending behavior.
D. Change overall spending and saving behavior.
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。
Have you ever wondered why you want to do something, or what causes people to go through extraordinary
pain or personal investment just to achieve a particular outcome? 36 Motivation.
Motivation is the reason for people’s actions, goals, and willingness to pursue the goals. Sometimes it seems
difficult to find, but we all have that spark at our core. Here are some ways you can turn that spark back into a
flame.
37 If your motivation is fading, notice when this starts to happen and what events could have driven
it. You’ll find that you’re more likely to feel bored when you’re in certain environments. As you become more
aware of this, you can put yourself in situations where you’re more likely to thrive.
Keep a thankfulness journal. 38 When they’re aware of what they’re thankful for, it drives them in
specific areas of their lives. Considering this, you may find value in keeping a thankfulness journal where you
regularly list blessings.
Design an accomplishment book. Creative people may do well to design an accomplishment book with images
of past work and accomplishments as a form of encouragement. It can be as informal or formal as you’d like. It
might be a simple scrapbook you keep at your desk, or a professionally printed booklet that you keep by your bed.
39
Get out of the house. If your life consists of going to work, coming home, watching Netflix, and going to
sleep, you shouldn’t be surprised that you’re unmotivated. 40 Stretching yourself will expose you to new
ideas, activities, and people, which will either strike up new motivation or rekindle things you have forgotten about.
A. What’s the possible solution?
B. Identify when motivation slips.
C. What’s at the heart of this issue?
D. Decide what works best for you and give it a try.
E. A thankfulness journal is a perfect way to show your gratitude to others.
F. Some people find that thankfulness and motivation are directly connected.
G. Make it a point to go outdoors and try new things even when you don’t want to.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
I was doing homework with my friend Ollie at his home when he randomly started scribbling(乱画)
a fish. But not just any fish. This fish was riding a skateboard and blowing a bubble that said “I’d
rather be skating!”I laughed and drew a sea star saying “Quit fooling around and get to work!”
Just then, Ollie’s grandma Abuela and her friend Mr. Goldberg came into the kitchen. Mr. Goldberg was in
charge of the local animal shelter. Abuela poured their tea and inquired about how things were going at the animal
shelter. Mr. Goldberg sighed, shaking his head. He explained that not enough people were adopting pets, resulting
in too many animals without homes.
Overhearing the conversation, Ollie offered to adopt some excitedly. But Abuela said that one noisy parrot was
plenty for this house.
“Blue isn’t noisy,” defended Ollie. “He’s just musical.”
“I’d have a whole farm full of animals if I could,” I said. “But my parents say two cats and a
hamster(仓鼠) are enough.”
Mr. Goldberg said he kept trying to attract people to adopt animals, but found it hard to get people’s
attention these days. Ollie drew a sad whale, and I wrote the words “Please adopt me” in the shape of
a whale spout(喷水). Mr. Goldberg took a look at our drawings and made favorable comments on them,
saying that these clever talking animals just might grab people’s attention. And he asked us if we were willing to
design a poster for his animal shelter, a proposal we happily accepted. We decided to draw some ideas on our ownand meet up again the next afternoon.
That night, when I was sitting in the living room brainstorming ideas for the poster, my little brother brought
in our hamster, Mr. Nibbles, to give him a little run-around time. He made a hamster playground out of couch
pillows and Mr. Nibbles began to run around merrily.
Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind. _______________________________________________________
