I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters.
Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the
most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she
said, “is for Elizabeth”.
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I
wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her
in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
第7页/共19页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I
couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to
make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my
chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page
letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks
louder than words.
24. Elizabeth began to love her mother’s desk ________.
A. after she had her own family
.
B when she was a child
C. after her mother died
D. when her mother was badly ill
25. Elizabeth wrote to her mother to ________.

B. express thanks to her
C. have heart-to-heart
D. make her cry
26. Elizabeth was probably ________.
A. a teacher
B. a doctor

Some people are worried that wearing masks will have a bad effect on children’s ability to learn language and
socialize. Even parents often worry about how a school year without smiles might negatively(消极地) influence
their children.
These worries are understandable, but according to Dr. Danovitch, a research psychologist, who studies the
cognitive(认知的) and social development of children, wearing a mask at school could improve certain social and
cognitive skills, helping to strengthen abilities like self-control and attention. Take language learning as an
example. It’s true that masks cover our mouths and that seeing mouth shape and movement helps babies learn
language. But learning how to communicate involves a lot more than mouths. Looking at eyes is at least as
important as looking at mouths to understand the people you are looking at and what they are trying to express.
Children also make use of other signs to figure out what new words mean and what other people are thinking. A
classroom full of people wearing masks is a great chance for children to practice paying attention to those signs,
such as a classmate’s tone of voice or a teacher’s body language.
Wearing a mask can also help teach children to pay more attention to their own bodies and physical behaviors.
Keeping a mask on over the course of a school day involves the kind of self-control that many children find
challenging. Needless to say, children will not always be perfect at keeping their masks on, but they have to be
mindful of when their masks are slipping down or when it is OK to take them off. The research on self-control
suggests that children who master the skills needed to keep their masks on will grow up to be better at achieving
their long-term goals.
Perhaps most importantly, wearing masks during a pandemic(流行病) is a chance for children to practice
caring for their community. A recent study shows that children understand the spread of illness better than ever.
Wearing a mask gives young children the ability to do something to help protect other people. For older children,
mask-wearing is a way to teach them about duty and sacrifice(牺牲). They believe that it feels good to make
sacrifices for people in need. Stressing that the discomfort and inconvenience of mask-wearing are forms of caring
and public service might encourage children to address other social problems in their lives.
In fact, how children feel about wearing masks at school, and how much they benefit from wearing them, are
第9页/共19页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司going to depend on how the parents, teachers and caregivers around them present the topic. Masks are hopefully
not here to stay, but while they are still necessary, we should make the most of them.
27. What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. A teacher uses body language to teach what new words mean.
B. Wearing masks gives children a chance to practice paying attention.
C. Dr. Danovitch helps children with their cognitive and social development.
D. Looking at the mouth matters more than looking at the eyes when people talk.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It is unknown if mask-wearing helps children improve social skills.
B. Children believe that the discomfort of mask-wearing is acceptable.
C. People’s thoughts and emotions are hidden when they are wearing masks.
D. Children who know when to keep their masks on will probably be successful.
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Help Children Develop Skills
B. How to Be Perfect at Keeping Masks On
C. Wearing Masks Can Help Children Learn
D. Wearing Masks Can Solve Social Problems
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍一些人担心学生们戴着口罩上学会影响孩子们学习语言和社交的能力,本文就此疑
惑进行了解释,其实戴着口罩反而会驱使孩子们改善认知能力,还可以帮助孩子们更多地关注自己的身体
行为等等。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据“wearing a mask at school could improve certain social and cognitive skills, helping to
strengthen abilities like self-control and attention”可知,通过第二段我们可以得知,戴口罩给孩子们一个练习
集中注意力的机会,故选B。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Needless to say, children will not always be perfect at keeping their masks on, but they have
to be mindful of when their masks are slipping down or when it is OK to take them off. The research on self-control
suggests that children who master the skills needed to keep their masks on will grow up to be better at achieving
their long-term goals”可知,能注意到什么时候要戴上口罩,口罩什么时候会滑掉的孩子是有自我控制力的,
这样的孩子通常长大后会更好地实现他们的长期目标,也就是可能更容易成功,故选D。

Mindfulness Matters
In recent years, some schools have begun to introduce meditation, or mindfulness training, into their
classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and
feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety (焦虑),
control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to
meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.
Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported
that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in
class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates
and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving
their working memory and reducing their anxiety.
Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For
example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study
concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand
program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in
meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of
cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.
Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not
rigorous(严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is
still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children.
Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a
professor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang
for your buck and anyone who is against it isn’t thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen
our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.
Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety
and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their
第11页/共19页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every student’s school day. Participating in
“stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities.
30. Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?
A. To control students’ working memory.
B. To reduce students’ stress and anxiety.
C. To increase students’ attendance rates.
D. To research students’ thoughts and feelings.
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Mindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school.
B. Mindfulness training is more productive than other school activities.
C. Students felt more stressful after joining yoga classes three times a week.
.
D Students paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice.
32. The words “a lot of bang for your buck” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “_____”.
A. challenges B. complaints C. advantages D. influences
33. The writer probably agrees that ______.
A. further studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness training
B. students will become more talented with mindfulness training
C. doctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness training
D. mindfulness training decides students’ mental and physical health
【答案】30. B 31. D 32. C 33. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文,文中作者主要通过几个实验以及专家教授的观点向我们介绍了在学校内进行
正念训练的好处。
【30题详解】

Exploring Psychology
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Gaining a richer and deeper understanding of
psychology can help people achieve insights into their own actions as well as a better understanding of other
people. ____34____
One important benefit from a psychology major is that it teaches the student about the human mind and why
people act in various manners. Not all psychology majors will become psychologists. ____35____ All people
must interact with others whether it is at home or at a workplace. People respond to these interactions in a wide
number of ways. For instance, the person may not know why he or she is bothered by a specific action at work.
However, the person who has studied psychology has an obvious advantage in this area.
Psychology also offers the individual insight into himself or herself. As the person learns about the human
mind, how it works and why people behave in specific manners, the person may also begin to recognize both
harmful and helpful thought patterns in himself or herself.
This may lead the person to an increased level of self-awareness. ____36____ It also shows the person where
he or she possesses strength and crucial skills for the modern world. Individuals who are more self-aware are more
likely to accomplish their goals and dreams.
____37____ A person may enter a vast field where psychologists and those trained in psychology work.
These areas include industrial psychology, school psychology, private practice, organizational behavioral fields, law
enforcement and virtually every other field.
____38____ As stated, there are a number of career opportunities from which a psychology major may
choose.
A. Self-awareness is a vital skill for any person to have.
B. It shows the individual what areas the person needs to strengthen.
C. As a result, psychology becomes an incredibly popular college major.
D. A psychology major examines the science of human behavior and mental processes.
E. All fields have the opportunity to benefit from the guidance that psychology can offer.
第13页/共19页
学科网(北京)股份有限公司F. The third reason why psychology is a useful major is that it opens up a wide range of career opportunities.
G. However, all psychology majors will develop an increased awareness about human behavior and thought
patterns.

所有心理学专业的学生都将提高对人类行为和思维模式的认识”符合语境,故选G。

了个人对自己的洞察力,可知,前面讲述了心理学的两个好处,此处应提到第三个好处,F选项“心理学
是一个有用的专业的第三个原因是它提供了广泛的职业机会”符合语境,故选F。
【38题详解】
根据“As stated, there are a number of career opportunities from which a psychology major may choose.”可知这

【答案】例文
I loving reading
As a book lover, I read all the time. Why is reading so attractive to me? For starters, reading helps me discover
a new world, a world of dreams and magic. Another reason is that reading is fun, not because it tells me something,
but because it stirs my imagination. It can also allow for creative and critical thinking.
When it comes to my favorite book, the answer must be Charlotte’s web. Although it is a kid’s book, I believe
it will stay with me as I grow up. I like Dr. Dorian very much. What he teaches me is trying not to fear what I don’t
understand. When Fern’s mother worries about Fern’s talking with animals, Dr. Dorian comforts her even though
people think a doctor must know everything, he never lets it worry him because he can’t make it, which really
relaxes Fern’s mother. It helps me too.
Keep reading, making yourself a better person.
