B
One summer night, a boy felt himself lifted from bed by his father. Dazed with sleep, he saw stars
flashing across the heavens. “What is it?” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in
August.” Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father
believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep.
Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. This art of adding
dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will
burn brightly on its own one day. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played creditably.
“How long have you been interested in golf?” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said.
“Your father gave you a set of clubs?” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.”
I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as aprivilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type
is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type
you are likely to be.”
The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes,
which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation. But why don’t we work harder at
it? Probably because sometimes we don’t have the awareness or the selflessness or the energy. And yet, for
those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there but the opportunities also
come repeatedly. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its
shooting stars, my son will be seven.
24．What do the underlined words “adding dimensions to” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Setting an example for. B．Broadening the horizons of.
C．Providing attentive care for. D．Narrowing the possibilities of.
25．Why does the author mention the girl in Paragraph 2?
A．To show parental impact on children’s passion.
B．To suggest hobbies always start from the small.
C．To highlight the importance of diverse experiences.
D．To prove true passion usually arises from the reward.
26．What will the author’s psychiatrist friend agree with?
A．One’s personality is related to childhood experiences.
B．Childhood experience determines adult happiness.
C．Parenting styles requires professional guidance.
D．Stability in upbringing builds confidence.
27．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The author is always addicted to shooting stars.
B．It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to motivate kids.
C．The author will go to see shooting stars with his son.
D．It is impossible to unlock kids’ potential without eagerness.
C
Scientists have been experimenting with playing sounds to plants since at least the 1960s, during which
time they have been exposed to everything from Beethoven to Michael Jackson. Over the years, evidence
that this sort of thing can have an effect has been growing. One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an
Asian shrub known as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when exposed to 56 days ofBuddhist music — but not if it was exposed to Western pop music or silence. Another, published last year,
found that marigolds and sage plants exposed to the noise of traffic from a busy motorway suffered growth
difficulty.
Plants have been evolving (进化) alongside the insects that eat them for hundreds of millions of years.
With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a botanist now at the University of Houston, and Reginald Cocroft, a
biologist at the University of Missouri, wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by the
animals with which they most often interact. They recorded the vibrations made by certain species of
caterpillars (毛毛虫) as they chewed on leaves. These vibrations are not powerful enough to produce sound
waves in the air. But they are able to travel across leaves and branches, and even to neighbouring plants if
their leaves touch.
They then exposed tobacco plant — the plant biologist’s version of the laboratory mouse — to the
recorded vibrations while no caterpillars were actually present. Later, they put real caterpillars on the plants
to see if exposure had led them to prepare for an insect attack. The results were striking. Leaves that had
been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the
caterpillars to eat. Leaves that had not been exposed to vibrations showed no such response. Other sorts of
vibration — caused by the wind, for instance, or other insects that do not eat leaves — had no effect.
“Now speakers with the right audio files are more often being used to warn crops to act when insects
are detected but not yet widespread,” says Dr. Cocroft. “Unlike chemical pesticides, sound waves leave no
dangerous chemicals.”
28．What can we learn about plants from the first paragraph?
A．They may enjoy Western music. B．They can’t stand Buddhist music.
C．They can react to different sounds. D．They can make different sounds.
29．What’s the basis for Appel and Cocroft’s research?
A．Plants can make a cry for help. B．Plants evolve alongside insects.
C．Plants are sensitive to the sounds. D．Plants have been studied for years.
30．What can we infer about plants from Paragraph 3?
A．They can recongnize harmful vibrations.B．They look like laboratory mice.
C．They can threaten the caterpillars. D．They can release poisonous chemicals.
31．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Disadvantages of chemical pesticides. B．Application of the experimental results.
C．Interaction between plants and insects. D．Warning system of widespread insects.
DThere is no doubt that when you receive a compliment, you feel good and when you receive a criticism,
you feel upset and want to refuse it.
You shouldn’t be surprised by your reaction to the negative comment, as it’s human’s survival
mechanism to avoid being criticized. Clearly, we don’t want to be seen as failures, so we’d rather shut our
eyes and cover our ears than have to take any criticisms from others.
Imagine you’re learning to play the guitar, and you have just done your first public performance. Your
teacher says, “You did well,” which may not be as useful in helping you improve your performance skills as
“Your timing needs some work.” So I believe that criticisms are better than compliments.
No one would argue that healthy nutrition is a bad thing. However, too much food or drink — no matter
how healthy they may be — can make us ill. Too many compliments take us away from our original
enthusiasm of enjoying an activity. We start doing the activity only for the sake of receiving self-satisfying
praise. Without the expectation of praise, our enthusiasm to complete things begins to be lost.
Launched in 2010, Microsoft KIN only lasted on the market for 48 days. It was very obvious that most
15 to 30-year-olds preferred Androids, BlackBerrys and iPhones to the Microsoft KIN. If criticism and
feedback from the target group had been received while the phone was in development, Microsoft KIN
could have avoided the huge embarrassment and its final failure.
Just to be clear, I’m talking about constructive criticism, which I like to think of as “healthy criticism”.
The right kind of criticism is honest feedback that will benefit you. Feedback forces you to reconsider your
actions and the way you work. If you use constructive criticism wisely, it can guide you away from bad
practices, giving you support and courage to move forward to be a better person in the future.
32．What can we learn about compliment and criticism in Paragraph 1?
A．People’s response to them. B．People’s ways to express them.
C．People’s understanding of them. D．People’s different opinions on them.
33．How would people be when receiving too many compliments?
A．More annoyed. B．More satisfied. C．Less worried. D．Less interested.
34．How can healthy criticism be helpful according to the last paragraph?
A．To encourage growth. B．To develop intelligence.
C．To avoid embarrassment. D．To reduce enthusiasm.
35．What is a suitable title for the passage?
A．Criticisms are better than compliments.
B．Constructive criticism contributes to better future.
C．Honest feedback comes from healthy criticism.
D．Enough enthusiasm is vital for further development.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10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。
When it comes to helping students learn and mature, there are several ways to increase their well-being.
Although your children may be succeeding in the classroom, there are a few things that you still can do.
Encouraging physical activity is the first thing you can do. More and more children do not participate in
sports after school. It’s important for you to encourage mobility with sports that are played after class. You
should find sporting equipment, basketball courts and play areas where kids can increase their well-being.
36
Secondly, you can provide proper nutrition for your children. It’s important for your children to receive
proper nutrition both inside and outside of the home. 37 You’d better make it a point to provide
enough nutrition for their proper development and growth.
38 Many parents fail to stop children from using smart phones and computers. There are
some institutions that even encourage too much screen time as a way to teach children or keep them
entertained. You should help the children remain excited without sitting in front of a screen throughout the
day.
Last but not the least, monitoring bullying （欺凌）is also an essential part. Bullying continues to
remain a common problem in some schools, making it important that the environment that your children
grow in holds a high standard. 39
It’s important to examine the school life as a whole to determine what factors are missing. 40
. You may determine how well they adjust to the world around them and succeed in life.
A．You should provide kids with fresh food.
B．Besides, you’d better limit their screen time.
C．It will encourage children to focus on their study.
D．In addition, try your best to give them more freedom.
E．This will reduce the risk of health conditions that include obesity.
F．You can advise teachers to keep a practice of looking for bullying.
G．Parents play a significant role in children’s growth and well-being.
