1. 【2023 年新高考I 卷B 篇】 “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is 
kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s 
happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
27. What is the basis for John’s work?
A. Nature can repair itself.
B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse.
D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
典例02
【2023·新高考全国Ⅱ卷 D】Para4:Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call 
a“nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most 
often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following 
an established trail.
Para5: Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part 
in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the 
edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a 
workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
Para6:“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily 
lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a 
senior author of the study.
34.What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 5?
A.Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C.The same nature experience takes different forms.
D.The nature language enhances work performance.
典例03
【2023· 全国甲卷D 篇】.....Obviously, if precautions( 预防) aren􀆳t taken, grizzlies can become 
troublesome,sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and 
attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing 
around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope 
is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James 
Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C.A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.
命题点02  观点态度题
典例01
【2023 年新高考II 卷D 篇】In a follow-up study with 100 university students the researchers tried to get a 
better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most 
confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of 
the time, but it wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and 
reasoned together.” Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the 
studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain the potential implications for group discussion 
and decision-making are enormous.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies?
A. Unclear.
B. Dismissive.
C. Doubtful.
D. Approving.

【2023 年1 月·浙江卷B 篇】
Para3: Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a 
video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A 
few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was 
for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging. 
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my 
own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able 
to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a 
bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but 
you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire. 
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment 
on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on 
board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged. 
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
25.What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars?
A.He disapproved of it.
B.He was favorable to it.
C.He was tolerant of it.
D.He didn’t care about it.
典例03
【2021 年新高考I 卷之D 篇】
Para3 :Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can 
reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive 
aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and 
others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the 
public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday 
life.
Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will 
excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, 
advances in science will offer new perspectives ( 视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. 
Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.
34. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable.
B. Intolerant.
C. Doubtful.
D. Unclear.

【2023 年新高考II 卷B 篇】 Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like 
facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to 
clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A. To review John’s research plans.
B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs.
D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
典例02
【2023 年1 月·浙江卷C】
Para1 : A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a 
public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa 
Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion. 
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents 
and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such 
wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, 
professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage 
at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
28.Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A.To explain the use of a software program.
B.To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C.To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D.To emphasize the fairness of the competition.

【2023·新高考全国Ⅱ卷C】
Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book, represented here in 
almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout 
history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books 
and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this “book of books”, artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections 
between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book 
as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—
absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds 
of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to. 
Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of 
the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in 
their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the 
raw material for artworks—transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures.
Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page 
outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as 
any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages 
parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly 
networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance 
of a wholly private, “off-line” activity.
 31.What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader?
A.The printed book is not totally out of date.
B.Technology has changed the way we read.
C.Our lives in the 21st century are networked.
D.People now rarely have the patience to read.

But, it doesn't have to be all bad news. “ One major motivation in studying the link between 
climate change and human-wildlife conflicts is finding solutions,” said Abrahms. “ As we learn about 
specific incidents, we can identify patterns and tends-and come up with interventions( 干预) to try to 
address these conflicts.”
Some interventions maybe as simple as public-awareness campaigns. Governments can also plan 
forties when extreme climate events will bring people and wild if e into closer contact. “Once you know 
the root causes of a conflict, you can design interventions to help both people and wildlife,” said 
Abrahms. “We can change.”
What does Abrahms think of interventions?
A. They are too simple.
B. They are out-of-date.
C. They are changeable.
D. They are beneficial.

Navigating growing up alongside academic demands is a difficult phase of life for anyone. “The 
hardest part of having dyscalculia in my K-12 experience was dealing with a disability on top of the 
normal aspects of growing up,” Cladek said. “Growing up with dyscalculia greatly affected myself-worth 
and not feeling like I am enough,” said Cladek, who is now a college student. “If l could only be able 
to fit in with the rest of the kids and not have this anxiety and frustration every time I look at a math 
problem on my worksheet, then I’ll be enough, which was a common thought I had.”
What does the author want to say by men toning Cladek's experience?
A. Cladek has fantastic memories of schooling.
B. It's better to have dyscalculia diagnosed earlier.
C. Growing up with dyscalculia is a big challenge.
D. Academic demands outweigh struggling with dyscalculia.

When you think about it, food is an important part of our lives. Family gatherings center around food and the 
celebration of major life events and milestones involves food in one way or another. The same holds true for us 
here on the Space Station. Food is important and ends up usually being a topic of discussion for almost every crew.
......
Our food also comes packaged in many ways. But no matter what the form of the food though, you still have 
the same problem eating it- - you do not want it flying away from you and making a mess when you open it up. In 
this case a little bit of extra water is extremely helpful. It keeps the food kind of sticking together and to the 
package and to your spoon. Small things do escape from time to time, but we really try hard to minimize the 
random flying food problem. That is enough for now! Next time I will write about how to cook in space.
Where is the text most probably taken from?
A.A food magazine.
B.An astronaut’s journal.
C.A sci-fi handbook.
D.A space history website.

It’s good to be smart. After all, intelligent people earn more money, accumulate more wealth, and even live 
longer. But there’s another side to the story. The brightest people and strongest leaders sometimes make errors 
others don’t, especially in situations that require common sense.
Travis Bradberry, president at TalentSmart, explained in his post Why Smart People Act So Stupid that 
“Rational thinking (理性思维) and intelligence don’t tend to go hand in hand. Intelligent people are more likely to 
make silly mistakes because of blind spots in how they use logic. These blind spots exist because smart people tend 
to be overconfident in their reasoning abilities.” They are so used to being right and having quick answers that they 
don’t even realize when they’re making a mess by answering without thinking things through. 
A lifetime of praise leads smart people to develop too much faith in their intelligence and abilities. They often 
fail to recognize when they need help, and when they do recognize it, they tend to believe that no one else is 
capable of providing it. 
“It’s hard for anyone to graciously accept the fact that they’re wrong. It’s even harder for smart people because 
they grow so used to being right all the time that it becomes a part of their identity,” Bradberry wrote. “For smart 
people, being wrong can feel like a personal attack, and being right, a necessity.”
Smart people also have a hard time accepting feedback. They tend to undervalue the opinions of others, which 
means they have trouble believing that anyone is qualified to give them useful feedback. Not only does this 
tendency slow their growth and performance, it can lead to harmful relationships, both personally and 
professionally. 
Smart people develop overachieving personalities because things come so easily to them. They simply don’t 
understand how hard some people have to work to accomplish the same things, and because of that, they push 
people too hard. They set the bar too high, and when people take too long or don’t get things quite right, they 
assume it’s due to a lack of effort. So they push even harder.
1.What do we learn from the passage about the brightest people?
A.They can differ in their personalities.
B.They are admired by people around them.
C.They usually face their own weaknesses calmly.
D.They can make silly mistakes in straightforward situations.
2.What accounts for the existence of intelligent people’s logical blind spots?
A.Their irrational way of thinking.
B.Too much concern about their work.
C.Too much faith in their ability to think.
D.Their ignorance of behavioral science.
3.What may happen to smart people who find it difficult to accept suggestions?
A.They may experience a lot of emotional stress.
B.They may commit more errors than ever before.
C.They may lose faith in their administrative abilities.
D.They may suffer in their professional and private life.
4.What is said about those working with or under overachieving people?
A.They are under increasing pressure.
B.They set higher goals for themselves.
C.They put a lot of effort into their work.
D.They take less time to get things done.

Pickled (腌制的) vegetables, fish and meat preserved in salt, and bread baked in a circle with a hole in the 
middle (e.g. bagels), were once the foods for the poor of all backgrounds in central and eastern Europe. But it was 
Jewish immigrants (犹太移民) who brought these recipes to the West, particularly to America, in the late 19th and 
early 20th centuries.
Bagels and pickled foods became mainstays of Jewish deli ( 熟食店) cuisine,which are the subject of an 
exhibition at the New-York Historical Society called “I’ll Have What She’s Having”. The exhibition implicitly (含
蓄地) asks whether a cuisine that has been enjoyed by millions and helped define the taste of New York City 
continues to be lively today.
There is a distinctly sad tone to it. Though some foods exist over several decades, the number of Jewish delis 
in America has dropped sharply. Black-and-white pictures of long-gone people eating at long-gone places line the 
exhibition’s walls. After all, the Jewish deli is a product of a bygone era,shaped by immigration, discrimination and 
inner-city life. As immigrants’ children fit in with the locals and moved away, the deli became one of many dining 
choices — less a center of communal Jewish life and more a pleasant place to occasionally cat and talk about the 
past.
Meanwhile, deli food itself has crossed its limits. For a while, McDonald’s in Germany offered a “Grilled 
Texas Bagel”. That is a senseless phrase to a deli expert: a decent bagel belongs nowhere near a grill and has 
nothing to do with Texas. But it suggests that bagels — like pizza, hot dogs and other foods once only consumed by 
particular ethnicities — now come across less as specifically Jewish than as broadly American.
The most hopeful part of the exhibit is at the end: a case of menus from modern delis across the country. They 
were founded by young Jewish chefs determined to keep their culinary ( 烹饪的) traditions alive — not because 
discrimination left them no other way out, but because the food is delicious, inspiring, and an irreplaceable part of 
America’s culinary landscape.
5.What is the theme of this exhibition?
A.The history of New York.
B.The foods of Jewish delis.
C.The recipes for Jewish foods.
D.The Jewish communities in New York.
6.What does paragraph 3 tell us about the Jewish delis in America?
A.They cannot provide delivery service.
B.They have lost their original special flavor.
C.They don’t suit the tastes of young Jewish people.
D.They can bring back memories of Jewish immigrants.
7.What does the name of “Grilled Texas Bagel” imply?
A.Deli experts aren’t big fans of meaningless names.
B.People think bagels are more of an American food.
C.Texans aren’t very good at baking satisfactory bagels.
D.McDonald’s in Germany prefers American foods to Jewish ones.
8.How do young Jewish chefs feel about their traditional food?
A.Proud.
B.Worried.
C.Carefree.
D.Disappointed.

Sam Shepler was not surprised the first time he was asked to make a video resume (简历) in 2021. The 32-
year-old had noticed the trend growing in the previous year, and was applying for a video-editing role. The role did 
not require any public speaking, and Shepler had no experience talking about himself on camera. Even though he 
got the job, the process felt more burdensome than usual. “I honestly prefer the old-fashioned resume and interview, 
” he says.
A recent survey showed that 79% of hiring managers thought that video resumes had become “more 
important” than before for vetting (审查) candidates, and 61% of job seekers thought “ a recorded video could be 
the next version of the traditional cover letter”. As remote work has made video an increasingly common part of life 
at work, are video resumes the future—whether candidates want them to be or not? 
Chloe Chioy, 22, believes a video resume was crucial in helping her secure her first job after university. “It 
was a decision on my part to submit a video resume,” says the Taipei-based digital marketing coordinator, who 
works remotely for a UK-based company. The job advertisement only stated that a resume was required. “Being a 
fresh graduate, I knew experience was my major disadvantage. I think showing my personality and attitude in the 
video helped my application.” She also made sure to emphasise skills relevant to the role, including screenshots of 
articles she had written, clips (片段) of her public speaking, and showing off her video-editing abilities.
Chioy’s approach made use of some of the distinct benefits of video resumes, says recruitment ( 招聘) 
specialist Jan Tegze. This can be particularly helpful for applicants with little experience applying in competitive 
fields who need an extra edge to secure a role. He also mentions that he cannot see the video resume replacing its 
written counterpart (相对物) any time soon. “Recruitment really hasn’t changed for decades. We are using different 
tools that are a little bit faster, but it’s still about human interaction,” he says.
9.What does paragraph 1 tell us about Sam Shepler?
A.He felt awkward in front of a camera.
B.He was inexperienced in editing videos.
C.He liked the traditional hiring process better.
D.He applied for a job that valued public speaking.
10.What does the data in paragraph 2 imply?
A.Most candidates no longer use cover letters.
B.There is a growing demand for video resumes.
C.Most hiring managers screen candidates via video.
D.Video becomes a common part of remote working.
11.Which of the following words can best describe Chloe Chioy?
A.Brave and optimistic.
B.Selfless and polite.
C.Honest and independent.
D.Creative and smart.
12.What might Jan Tegze agree with?
A.Written resumes won’t be replaced in the short term.
B.Using different tools can speed up the selection of talents.
C.Virtual hiring is particularly popular in competitive fields.
D.Sending a video resume isn’t very helpful for fresh graduates.

Is future you…you? It might seem like a strange philosophical question. But the answer to how you think 
about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you 
might eventually regret. 
The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI ( 核磁共振) when people think about their future selves most 
resemble the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind’s eye, 
our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat 
healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger? 
However, if you see the interests of your distant self as more like those of your present self, you are 
considerably more likely to do things today that benefit you tomorrow. A paper in the journal PLOS One revealed 
that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more 
likely to achieve academic success. Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-
being. In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5,000 adults age 20 to 75, he found that those who perceived 
a great overlap (重叠) in traits between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 
10 years after filling out the initial survey. 
So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates? The psychological 
mindset with what we call “vividness interventions” works. We have found, for instance, that showing people 
images of their older, grayer selves increases intentions to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a 
letter to—and then from—your future self. As demonstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study 
in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students engaged in this type of  “send-and-reply” exercise, they 
experienced elevated levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves. 
Letter-writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and 
beyond, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love, care about 
and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives—both today and tomorrow.
13.What’s the function of paragraph 2?
A.Generating further discussion.
B.Introducing a research result.
C.Showing the effect of the finding.
D.Concluding various viewpoints.
14.How does the author prove his statements?
A.By offering relevant statistics.
B.By using quotations.
C.By referring to previous findings.
D.By making comparisons.
15.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Benefits of befriending our future selves.
B.Ways of connecting with our future selves.
C.Methods of changing psychological mindsets. D.Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.
16.What does the article want to tell us?
A.Making future plans makes a difference.B.Our future selves look like other people.
C.Getting to know your future self benefits.
D.Your choice determines future happiness.

Do you have frightening dreams while sleeping? According to an email interview by clinical psychologist and 
sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus, roughly 5 percent of the general population has at least one bad dream per week. 
Nightmares typically happen during REM sleep, during the middle and later parts of the night.
There is no exact explanation for nightmares, but Breus says it’s possible that they help the brain practise, 
prepare for and even predict difficult or dangerous experiences in waking life. Of course, it’s possible that 
nightmares, like dreams in general, don’t have a primary function — that they’re a by-product of other activities in 
the body. But most sleep scientists think that dreams and nightmares exist for some purposes. 
One study found the most common nightmare was falling, followed by dreams of being chased, feeling lost, 
and feeling trapped. Then why do nightmares happen? 
“Certain circumstances and characteristics make some people more likely to have nightmares than others,” 
says sleep medicine specialist Dr. Barry Krakow. He thinks people who’ve been traumatized (使受精神创伤) are 
certainly at a higher risk of nightmares Examples are offered of those who have suffered criminal attacks, or who 
have been in life-threatening accidents. People with some degree of sensitivity in their biological make-up are also 
more likely to have bad dreams, so they’re more common in people who suffer from anxiety or depression, or who 
use excess drugs or alcohol. The traditional belief often has it that nightmares are the result of eating too much rich 
food before bedtime, but it is still uncertain whether this is true. One study from 2015 did find a link between eating 
dairy or hot foods before bedtime and having disturbing dreams, but the study authors noted that this couldn’t be 
proven definitely because the data was self-reported and there were a lot of other factors to consider.
However, research in recent decades has shown that people who suffer from sleep disorders are also more 
likely to have nightmares.
17.What may Dr. Breus agree with about nightmares?
A.They happen for certain purposes.
B.They are similar to daydreams.
C.They possibly help predict future events.
D.They come true once in a while.
18.Who does Dr. Krakow think tends to suffer nightmares?
A.John who often stays up late.
B.Peter who has had terrible experiences.
C.Jack who is sensitive to alcohol.
D.Paul who sleeps soundly at night.
19.How does the traditional belief explain nightmares?
A.They are often caused by irregular bedtimes.
B.They are based on disturbing life experiences.
C.They are the consequence of negative feelings.
D.They are related to what is taken before bedtime.
20.From which section of a website is the text probably taken?
A.Mental health. B.Life experiences.
C.Eating habits.
D.Popular culture.

Adam Zibluk is a 15-year-old Life Scout (童子军) in Troop 70 in Newtown, CT. He was also recently the 
Troop’s Senior Patrol Leader, the highest ranking boy in the troop!
Last summer, he, along with 15 other boys from the Troop completed scouting’s greatest adventure, 
backpacking over 50 miles in 7 days in the wilderness at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico!
While Adam’s Scouting achievements are impressive on their own, his time in Scouts has not always been so 
easy. Adam has hemophilia, a medical condition that can cause severe bleeding from even a slight injury. And as a 
Boy Scout, spending much time out in the wilderness, it is quite common to get minor injuries. Because of his 
condition, Adam has had to miss some Scouting activities over the years.
The first few days of Adam’s backpacking in Philmont went smooth. But on the 3rd day, while unloading his 
gear at a remote campsite, he felt a sharp pain in his back.Adam told the adult leaders about his back and that he 
was starting to not feel well.They made the decision to call Philmont base camp to seek medical attention.
It was getting dark and rain threatened. Two doctors set out into the night on backcountry roads and then hiked 
in the last 1/2 mile to find Adam. They did some tests and decided to take him back with them to base camp. It was 
a tough moment for Adam and for the rest of the scout crew. While Adam returned to base camp, the rest of the 
boys backpacked on. To encourage Adam, they took one of his shirts with them and took photos of it along the way, 
which they sent to him.
A few days passed and Adam was feeling better. The doctors cleared him to return to the backcountry! Finally, 
Adam finished the trek with his crew. He is now one of the only Boy Scouts with hemophilia to have ever 
participated in and completed a Philmont Trek.
What encouraged Adam to take on this challenge despite the risk? “I thought it would be fun and a good thing 
to do as long as I was prepared. And my parents have always encouraged me not to let hemophilia be the only 
factor in ANY decision.”
21.What has stopped Adam from participating in some Scouting activities over the years?
A.Inadequate trek experience.
B.His fear of the wilderness.
C.Lack of camping skills.
D.His health condition.
22.Why did Adam participate in this challenging activity?
A.He had a love for it.
B.He was eager to be a leader.
C.He wanted to set a record.

The stands were always filled with family members to support their favorite players. I attended each of my 
son’s games. His father worked nights for years, and missed out on most of his games. My son Jorden knew if his 
dad could, he would be there sitting right beside me. 
When Jorden was younger, some family members would occasionally come to watch. But gradually they 
stopped showing up. Never once did Jorden lead me to believe that this bothered him, but apparently it did. It 
wasn’t until when he was asked to give a speech at his baseball event that he made it very clear not only to me but a 
room filled with over 150 people just how important it is to have extra fans in the stands. 
His speech was anything but like I thought it would be. It wasn’t short and bittersweet. It wasn’t his quick 
thank you to his coaches and teammates. He poured his heart out, saying he seldom had grandparents, aunts or 
uncles coming to support him. He was grateful that his teammates’ family members showed up to support not just 
their own loved ones but the entire team of boys. Clearly Jorden desired more than just me. Never did I ever think 
my son would be hurting inside as he looked out to the bleachers to see only me at each and every game. 
As he struggled to get each word out through tears, I promised I would attend as many events of the children 
around as I possibly could. There was no way I could allow another child to feel what my son was feeling. This 
small simple gesture would mean so much to any child. Neither Jorden nor I was upset with those who never 
attended his games. Jorden just wanted someone else besides me to witness his craft in action. I understand all of 
our lives become complicated and that everyone is busy with their own children and jobs that may not allow them 
as much free time as they’d like.
24.What do we know about Jorden’s father?
A.He had long been misunderstood by Jorden.
B.He had few chances to attend Jorden’s games.
C.He managed to be with Jorden in every game.

You can get a clear picture about Deep Work by Cal Newport in 5 minutes. Deep Work tells us professional 
activities performed in a state of distraction-free concentration that push your cognitive ( 认知的) capabilıties to 
their limit. These efforts create new value and improve your skill. The ability to perform deep work is becoming 
increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a consequence, 
the few who develop the skill, and then make it the core of their working life, will thrive (蓬勃发展) 
The book tells us the core abilities for thriving in the new economy, which are the ability to quickly master 
hard things, the ability to produce a high level, in terms of both quality and speed. If you can’t learn, you can’t 
thrive. If you don’t produce, you won’t thrive- no matter how skilled or talented you are. If you haven’t mastered 
deep work, you’ll struggle to learn hard things. To learn hard things quickly, you must focus intensely without 
distraction.
The key to developing a deep work habit is to move beyond good intentions and add routines and habits to 
your working life designed to minimize a state of unbroken concentration. To master the art of deep work, 
therefore, you must take back control of your time and attention from the many entertainments on the Internet that 
attempt to steal them. Adopt a tool only if its positive impacts on these factors substantially outweigh its negative 
impacts. It’s crucial that you figure out in advance what you’re going to do with your evenings and weekends 
before they begin.
In the end of Deep Work, we can know that the ability to-concentrate is a skill that gets valuable things done. 
If you’re struggling to use your mind to its fullest capacity to create things that matter, then you’ll discover, as 
others have before you, that depth generates a life rich with productivity and meaning.
28.What is presented in the first paragraph?
A.Accurate analyses.
B.Practical examples.
C.Daring expectation.
D.Theoretical introduction.
29.Who will have a particular advantage in this new economy?
A.Those who’re the best at what they do. B.Those willing to give others a hand.
C.Those who’re very skilled or talented.
D.Those easy to get along well with.
30.Which of the following can help develop a deep work habit?
A.Forming a simple habit.

A.A news report.
B.An exam paper.

As students return to school this fall, many of them— perhaps especially those from historically disadvantaged 
student groups will be starting the academic year with achievement levels lower than where they were at the 
beginning of summer break. This phenomenon is sometimes referred to as summer learning loss. We review what is 
known about summer loss and offer suggestions for schools looking to solve the problem. 
The recent studies on summer loss have been rather comprehensive. One study found that students, on 
average, lost between 25-30 percent of their school-year learning over the summer; additionally, black and Latino 
students tended to gain less over the school year and lose more over the summer compared to white students. 
However, an analysis of the national study found little evidence of overall loss over the summers after grades 
K and 1, and the summer loss gaps widened in some subjects and grades but not others. Von Hippel and Hamrock 
re-analyzed two earlier data sets and concluded that gaps “do not necessarily. . . grow fastest over the summer”. 
Thus, it seems summer loss occurs, though not universally across geography, grade level or subject. 
Schools want to address the issue of summer learning loss not only because it may widen achievement gaps, 
but also because it “wastes” so much of the knowledge students have gained during the school year. Summer loss 
also undoubtedly increases the amount of time teachers have to spend “re-teaching” last year’s content. 
Traditionally, educators and policy makers have relied on conventional summer school programs to solve 
summer learning loss. Not surprisingly, research suggests that programs are more effective when students attend 
consistently and spend more time on task academically. Regardless of the design, these policies should offer 
engaging options for students over the summer so that summer learning programs do not feel like punishment for 
students who would rather be enjoying summer vacation. Doing so would set more students up for success as the 
school year gets underway.
32.What’s the author’s aim by writing Paragraph 1?
A.To raise a question.
B.To make a comparison.
C.To analyze the figures.
D.To illustrate an example.
33.According to the studies, what can we know about summer learning loss?
A.Immigrant students experienced the most summer loss.
B.White students did not lose learning over the summer.
C.Summer learning loss after grades K and 1 was alarming.
D.Summer learning loss seemed to vary in grades and subjects.
34.Why do schools want to solve the problem according to the fourth paragraph?
A.It may narrow achievement gaps.
B.It may cause repetitive work for teachers.
C.It may stop students gaining more knowledge.
D.It may increase teachers’ new teaching content.
35.What does the author think of summer school programs?
A.The conventional programs are ineffective.
B.Students should do all academic tasks.
C.More choices should be provided for students.
D.The programs are punishment for many student.

I was traveling with my husband and three teenage sons in the United States. We ordered our food at a fast-
food place, and with my meal I also wanted a blueberry pie. My husband is the chatty one in the family and likes to 
socialize, so he started a conversation about the place where blueberries grow with the waitress. She answered, with 
some anxiety, “They grow on trees.”
The whole family’s jaws dropped! How could this girl not know where blueberries grow? We tried not to 
embarrass her, and just took the opportunity to teach her a little about how blueberries grow, on small shrubs (灌木) 
on the ground. She seemed to appreciate learning something new. We can’t know all the same things, as you'll see 
from the next thing I'm going to tell you.
In 2002 our family made a short trip to a coffee plantation. The road to the plantation was narrow, filled with 
sharp bends. I worried about hitting another car. We didn’t, lucky us! When we finally got to our destination, we 
learned a lot about the plantation and coffee production, but we didn’t see any coffee plants. Where were they? We 
decided to ask one of the people working there. “So where are the coffee plants? We can’t see them anywhere.”
She reached out her arm and caught a twig (细枝) right next to us and explained, “This is the coffee plant and 
these little things will be coffee beans.” I looked around in embarrassment, as we were surrounded by coffee plants! 
She explained that coffee plants aren’t big and that they have to grow in the shade of other bigger plants. I 
appreciated her lesson.
We love our coffee, but I’m sure most of my countrymen would not be able to recognize a coffee plant among 
other tropical plants if asked. Our jaws can drop at different things, depending on geographical locations, at what 
we know and don’t know. Never take anything for granted!
40.By saying “The whole family’s jaws dropped!”, the author means that ________.
A.the waitress was extremely ignorant
B.the waitress gave the strangest answer
C.the whole family was greatly surprised
D.the whole family had problems with their mouths
41.Which of the following best describes the waitress?
A.Curious.
B.Chatty.
C.Self-centered.
D.Stubborn.
42.What can we learn about the blueberry plant and the coffee plant?
A.They produce the same beans.
B.They grow in the tropical areas.
C.They look very similar to each other.
D.They are shrubs growing on the ground.
