C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。短文向进入大学想主修工程学的高中学生介绍了一些大学在暑期开设的关于工程学的课程和活动。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由Johns Hopkins Engineering Innovation中的“four to five weeks”和Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science (MITES)中的 “the six weeks of the program”和Summer Engineering Exploration Camp中的“one-week”以及 Exploring Your Options at the University of Illinois中的“two one-week ”可知，通过对比，可以看出Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science持续的时间最长。故选B。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由Johns Hopkins Engineering Innovation中的“rising juniors and seniors”由Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science (MITES)中的“high school ‎ juniors ”和Summer Engineering Exploration Camp中的“for rising high school juniors and seniors”以及 Exploring Your Options at the University of Illinois中的“ rising high school juniors and seniors”可知，这些课程和活动主要针对的对象是高中学生。故判断出这段短文是专门写给高中学生的。故选C。‎ B The latest discovery in cat research reveals that the lovely animal seems to have a basic grasp on both the laws of physics and the ins and outs of cause and effect According to a newly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn understanding of how the physical world works.‎ In a recent experiment, Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a container that a team member shook. Some containers rattled; others did not. When the container was tipped over, sometimes an object fell out and sometimes it didn’t.‎ It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a container was tipped over. When an object did not drop out of the bottom of a rattling container, they looked at it for a longer time than they did when the container behaved as expected.‎ ‎“Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance of invisible objects,” lead researcher Saho Takagi says in a press release. The researchers conclude that cats’ hunting style may have developed based on their common-sense abilities to infer where prey is, using their hearing.‎ Scientists have explored this idea with other endearing creatures: babies. Like cats, babies appear to engage in what’s called “preferential looking”—looking longer at things that are interesting or unusual than things they perceive (认知) as normal.‎ When babies’ expectations are violated in experiments like the ones performed with the cats, they react much like their animal friends. Psychologists have shown that babies apparently expect their world to obey the laws of physics and cause and effect as early as two months of age.‎ Does the study mean that cats will soon grasp the ins and outs of cause and effect? Maybe, Okay, so cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America’s most important research universities. But by demonstrating their common sense, they’ve shown that the divide between cats and humans may not be that great after all.‎ ‎38. What do we learn from a newly published study about cats?‎ A. They can be trained to understand the physical world.‎ B. They have a natural ability to locate animals they hunt.‎ C. They know what kind of prey might be easier to hunt.‎ D. They are capable of telling which way their prey flees.‎ ‎39. What may account for the cats’ response to the noise from the containers?‎ A. Their command of cause and effect. B. Their unusual sense of direction.‎ C. Their special ability to perceive. D. Their inborn sensitivity to noise.‎ ‎40. What can we conclude about cats from the passage?‎ A. They have higher intelligence than the majority of animals.‎ B. They display outstanding abilities in hunting and hearing.‎ C. They can aid physics professors in their research work.‎ D. They interact with the physical world much like humans.‎ ‎【答案】38. B 39. A 40. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文，介绍了对猫的最新研究成果，它们似乎对物理定律和因果关系的来龙去脉有基本的把握。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第二段According to a newly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn understanding of how the physical world works.可知，根据一项新发表的研究，猫似乎能够通过自己的耳朵以及一种天生的对于外界如何运转的理解力来预测出隐藏的猎物的位置。inborn和选项B中的natural意思相同，location是选项B中的locate的名词，故选B。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第五段Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance of invisible ‎ objects,可知，猫利用对于噪音或声音的一种因果逻辑理解来预测看不见的物体的出现。casual-logical和选项A中的cause and effect意思相同，故选A。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第五段But by demonstrating their common sense, they’ve shown that the divide between cats and humans may not be that great after all.可知，猫通过展示它们的常识，证明了它们和人类之间的区别也许并没有那么大。文章主要内容是在讨论猫和人类在对物理学的规律以及起因和结果的来龙去迈的理解上区别也许没有那么大。结合文章内容，故选D。‎ C The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) continues to be in the red. It reported a net loss of $5.6 billion for 2016 alone, the 10th straight year its expenses have exceeded revenue. Meanwhile, it has the debts of more than $120 billion, mostly for employee health and retirement costs. There are many bankruptcies. Fundamentally, the USPS is in a historic squeeze between technological change that has permanently decreased demand for its bread-and-butter product, and a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new reality.‎ Interest groups ranging from postal unions to postcard makers exert self-interested pressure on the USPS’s final supervisor—Congress (参议院), insisting that whatever else happens to the Postal Service, aspects of the present legal situation they depend on get protected. This is why repeated attempts at reform legislation (立法) have failed in recent years, leaving the Postal Service unable to pay its bills except by postponing vital modernization.‎ Now comes word that everyone involved—Democrats, Republicans, the Postal Service, the unions and the systems heaviest users—has finally agreed on a plan to fix the system. Legislation is moving through the White House that would save USPS an estimated $28.6 billion over five years, which could help pay for new vehicles, among other survival measures. Most of the money would come from a penny-per-letter permanent rate increase and from shifting postal retirees into Medicare. The latter step would largely reduce the financial burden of annually pre-funding retiree health care, thus addressing a long-standing complaint by the USPS and its union.‎ If it clears the White House, this measure will still have to get through the Senate—where someone is bound to point out that it amounts to the bare, bare minimum necessary to make the Postal Service stay afloat, not comprehensive reform. There’s no change to collective bargaining at the USPS, a major mistake considering that personnel accounts for 80 percent of the agency’s costs. Also missing is any discussion of getting rid of Saturday letter delivery. That common-sense change enjoys wide public support and would save the USPS $2 billion per year. But postal special-interest groups seem to have killed it, at least in the White House. The emerging consensus around the bill is a sign that legislators are getting frightened about a politically embarrassing short-term collapse at the USPS. It is not, however, a sign that they’re getting serious about transforming the postal system for the 2lst century.‎ ‎41. The financial problem with the USPS is caused partly by ________.‎ A. its rigid management. B. its unbalanced budget.‎ C. the cost for technical innovation D. the suspension of bank support.‎ ‎42. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.‎ A. protecting every interest group benefits the USPS B. the USPS will invest more money in retiree health care C. the White House has already approved the reform D. the author seems to be discontent with legislators ‎43. What does the underlined words “stay afloat” mean in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Boom. B. Survive.‎ C. Decline. D. Expand.‎ ‎44. Which of the following is probably the best title for the text?‎ A. The USPS Starts to Miss Its Good Old Days B. The USPS Starts to cooperate with Legislators C. The USPS Needs Comprehensive Aid and Reform D. The USPS Is Bound to Get out of the Dilemma ‎【答案】41. A 42. D 43. B 44. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。本文讲述美国邮政总局连年赤字，却由于受到利益集团的抵制而无力改革的现象。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new reality,可知，管理结构方面没能够灵活地将自己的生产模式试用到现实生活中，表明财政问题的部分原因在于“僵化的管理”。故A选项正确。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第四段But postal special-interest groups seem to have killed it, at least in the White House. The emerging consensus around the bill is a sign that legislators are getting frightened about a politically embarrassing short-term collapse at the USPS. It is not, however, a sign that they’re getting serious about transforming the postal system for the 2lst century.可知，围绕该法案出现的共识表明，立法议员们对USPS可能在进期出现破产担惊受怕。然而，这无法表明他们正在认真对待二十一世纪邮政系统的变革。由此可知，作者对于立法议员持否定态度，故D选项正确。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。根据第四段中If it clears the White House, this measure will still have to get through the Senate和后面的not comprehensive reform可知，改革措施如果获得众议院通过，它还需要经过参议院的审查，有的参议员会提出不必进行全面的改革。结合邮政总局目前的处境，可推断出有的参议员认为只需要做出最低限度的变革“the bare minimum necessary”，就可以使其维持运营，survive意为“生存”。故选B。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句Fundamentally, the USPS is in a historic squeeze between technological change that has permanently decreased demand for its bread-and-butter product, and a regulatory structure that denies management the flexibility to adjust its operations to the new reality.可知，美国邮政总局连年赤字，它已经站在了历史的十字路口，它必须做一个彻底的变革，以适应新的现实。从文章的写作结构可以看出，文章是谈一个问题以及它的解决办法的。故选C。‎ D In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews,‎ ‎ and winning one offer, I took what I could get—a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen—teaching English.‎ School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.‎ But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class—seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.‎ In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text obviously ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seems reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.‎ My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.‎ I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying but ‎ at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.‎ He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.‎ When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”‎ ‎“You had nothing to say to them.” he repeated, “No wonder they are bored. Why not get to the meat of literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher.‎ As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson’s words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil!”‎ Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.‎ ‎45. It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 ________.‎ A. the writer became an optimistic person B. it was rather difficult to get a job in the USA C. the writer was very happy about her new job D. it was easy to get a teaching job in New Jersey ‎46. According to the passage, which of the following is most probably the writer’s problem as a new teacher?‎ A. She didn’t ask experienced teachers for advice.‎ B. She took too much time off to eat and sleep.‎ C. She had blind trust in what she learnt at college.‎ D. She didn’t like teaching English literature.‎ ‎47. What is the writer’s biggest worry after her taskmaster’s observation of her ‎ class?‎ A. She might lose her teaching job B. She might lose her students’ respect.‎ C. She couldn’t teach the same class any more.‎ D. She couldn’t ignore her students’ bad behavior any more.‎ ‎48. Which of the following gives the writer a sense of mild victory?‎ A. Her talk about symbolism sounded convincing.‎ B. She managed to finish the class without crying.‎ C Her students behaved a little better than usual.‎ D. She was invited for a talk by her boss after class.‎ ‎49. The students behaved badly in the writer’s classes because ________.‎ A. she didn’t really understand them B. they were keen to embarrass her C. they didn’t regard her as a good teacher D. she didn’t have the fluency of English ‎50. Which of the following is probably the best title for this passage?‎ A. My successful and smooth teaching career B. The fierce competition in the job market C. Useful suggestions on how to be an excellent English teacher D. The challenging but unforgettable start of my teaching career ‎【答案】45. B 46. C 47. A 48. B 49. A 50.

However, perfectionism can become a bad thing when it stops you feeling satisfied with yourself or what you’ve accomplished. Every artist knows how important it is to stop adding touches to their paintings and how constantly adding elements can end up ruining the work. If you constantly demand only the very best from yourself, this can damage your self-respect as you find nothing you do will live up to your expectations. And if you extend this harsh (无情的) judgment to your friends and family and only focus on the negatives around them, you will find that they begin to dislike and avoid you.‎ So how do you get rid of these kinds of negative perfectionism? The following suggestions might help you a lot.‎ First of all, you’d better think twice about your standards. Look at what other people do. How long does it take them to carry out a project? Are their lower standards getting them fired? Do they still accomplish good work? Are your exacting (苛求的) standards worth the cost in terms of time and energy? I am sure that you can learn a lot from your answers.‎ Secondly, don’t always compare yourself with others. Perfectionists tend to have high standards. For example, an artist who thinks his work is never done might be comparing his paintings to those of Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci or other great artists. Remember that only a few people can become great masters and that most of us are just common people.‎ Last but not least, try to look at the situation objectively. If you are constantly adjusting things and never feel satisfied, then the chances are that you are too close to the situation and that you can’t judge it rightly any more. You’d better ask those around you what they think and whether they think your work is good enough. Besides, give your project some breathing space by leaving it alone for some time, so you can come back to it with “fresh eyes”.‎ Nobody, nor any idea, is perfect. If you have a perfectionist streak in you, try and let it go, and embrace the process of getting your idea out into the world, rather than focusing on the end result.‎ Perfectionism is holding you back ‎____51____ perfectionism can cause It can make one ____52____ with himself or his achievements.‎ It can get one’s self-respect damaged.‎ It can make one lose____53____ among his friends and family members.‎ Ways of ___54___ perfectionism ‎___55___ your standards You need to find out what other people’s standards are.‎ Avoid making unwise ____56____‎ It is not sensible for you to ____57____ yourself to become a great master.‎ Get a(n) ____58____ view Ask others for their ____59____ about your work.‎ Step back for a while and then return to your work with “fresh eyes”‎ Conclusion Perfection doesn’t actually ______60______.

And one-on-one teaching makes up over half of the market size.‎ From my point of view, online English education is a wise option, and children will benefit a lot from it. First of all, it’s very easy and convenient for children to have course online. They can have classes without leaving home so their parents ‎ needn’t worry about their safety. Meanwhile, much time will be saved for children and their parents which otherwise would have been spent on the journey. Secondly, the price of the courses is affordable for many parents. Compared with an offline one-on-one private English lesson from a training institution, these online courses are cheap and cost-effective. Last but not least, such courses provide children with opportunities to practice speaking English. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Only by speaking English on a daily basis can children really improve their English.‎ All in all, online English education goes a long way towards developing children’s English skill.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇读写任务。本文主要讲述了随着中国父母在子女的教育上花费更多，这些年来，面向儿童的在线英语课程越来越受欢迎，一对一教学占了市场规模的一半以上。‎ ‎【详解】该读写任务要求考生先写一篇对于文章的总结，然后表达对儿童在线英语教育的看法。首先，我们可以从两个方面对文章进行概括：在线英语教育课程受人欢迎的原因；一对一教学占有的市场份额情况。其次，从三个方面发表自己的观点：在线上课非常容易和方便；许多家长负担得起课程费用；课程为孩子提供了练习英语口语的机会。写作时注意词数，30词左右概括文章，120词左右表达观点。‎ ‎【点睛】范文要点齐全，字数适当，表达清楚，符合逻辑。文章中使用了主从复合句： Meanwhile, much time will be saved for children and their parents which otherwise would have been spent on the journey.句中which引导定语从句。使用过去分词短语作状语： Compared with an offline one-on-one private English lesson from a training institution, these online courses are cheap and cost-effective.使用倒装句： Only by speaking English on a daily basis can children really improve their English.‎ ‎ ‎
