As new kids at Monee Elementary School, they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.‎ ‎“I would be with the other guys and see Kathleen walking down the hallway, her head down, holding her books, walking slowly. And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then we'd burst into laughter. How rude is that? It's just crazy，” said Bruce, a doctor whose wife, Tammy, organized the meeting.‎ The women said none of the teachers cared about it. “We just kept it to ourselves，” Lorraine said.‎ Over the years, Tammy Smit said, “Bruce would just start to cry at ‎ times. He'd wonder what happened to the sisters, if they led a good life.” One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the Internet and found Mary O'Kelly, Lorraine's daughter, and offered to set up a meeting. The idea of revisiting the pain was not wellreceived by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date. It took some convincing, but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce.‎ Bruce broke into tears. “I'm so ashamed, so embarrassed，” he said. “But I'm so happy that you're still here and that I can finally apologize.” He said he hoped his apology would encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they had made on others. Lorraine said, “This is a beautiful thing. It's just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. It's like a miracle to us. It's healing to us.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。大约六十年前，Kathleen Rys和她的妹妹Lorraine O'Kelly转学到一所新学校，不料遭到了同班同学的嘲笑。多年以后，班里的男生Bruce Smit感到非常后悔，其妻子在网上找到这对姐妹的信息后，为他们安排了一次会面，Bruce Smit向她们道了歉，这对姐妹也原谅了他……‎ ‎4．What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?‎ A．Kathleen made her classmates afraid of her at school.‎ B．Kathleen was once hurt by her classmates at school.‎ C．Bruce Smit asked his wife to organize the meeting.‎ D．Bruce Smit spoke ill of Kathleen.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then we'd burst into laughter. How rude is that？”可知，Bruce和其他男生都紧靠着墙，直到Kathleen走过去，然后他们突然大笑起来，这是非常无礼的；并结合前两段内容可推知，Kathleen曾经受到同班同学的伤害，故B项正确。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word “it” in the 4th paragraph probably refer to?‎ A．The guys' meeting. B．Kathleen's slow pace.‎ C．The guys' apology. D．Kathleen's suffering.‎ 解析：选D　代词指代题。根据第三段中的“And all of us guys would lean against the wall until she passed. Then we'd burst into laughter. How rude is that？”并结合第四段中的“The women said none of the teachers cared about it”和“We just kept it to ourselves”可知，没有任何老师对此表示关心，她们也不对别人说；据此可推知，it指代Kathleen因受到同班同学的嘲笑而遭受的精神上的痛苦，故D项正确。‎ ‎6．How did Kathleen first feel about the meeting?‎ A．Angry. B．Excited.‎ C．Anxious. D．Unwilling.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第五段倒数第二句“The idea of revisiting the pain was not wellreceived by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date.”‎ 可知，Kathleen不想接受重新体验痛苦的建议，她从未结过婚，更不用说去约会了；据此可推知，对于三人的会面，Kathleen一开始是不愿意接受的，故D项正确。‎ ‎7．What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A．Bruce was embarrassed about his apology.‎ B．The other guys apologized to the two sisters.‎ C．Bruce and the two sisters felt a sense of relief.‎ D．Lorraine thought the apology came a little late.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据尾段中Bruce所说的话“But I'm so happy that you're still here and that I can finally apologize.”可知，Bruce对能有机会向她们道歉感到很高兴；又根据尾段中Lorraine所说的话“This is a beautiful thing. It's just wonderful that a person can ask for forgiveness after about 60 years. It's like a miracle to us. It's healing to us.”可知，Lorraine认为大约60年前嘲笑过她们的人能请求原谅是一件美好的事情；据此可推知，这次会面让三人都感到宽慰，故C项正确。‎ C ‎(2019·福建三校联考)“While extroverts (性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish (缩减) over time，” says Corinne Bendersky, an associate professor of management.‎ ‎“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they're part of a team，” Bendersky says. “On a team you're ‎ expected to work hard and contribute a lot. But they're often poor listeners, and they don't collaborate.”‎ ‎“On the other hand, introverts (性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them. They don't want to be seen as not pulling_their_weight or contributing 100%，” Bendersky says.‎ So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player, Bendersky says.‎ Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes.‎ ‎“These team members are often easygoing, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in oneonone situations，” Su says.‎ ‎“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice，” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about selfpromotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”‎ What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying ‎ something in private to make adjustments. ‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。虽然外向型性格的人会给面试官留下良好的第一印象，但是他们常不善于合作，没有团队精神；而内向型性格的人则工作努力，顾及别人的感受，性格随和。公司在招聘人才时，应当注意不同性格的人的特点。‎ ‎8．What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?‎ A．They are good listeners.‎ B．They are good at cooperating.‎ C．They often make great contributions.‎ D．They tend to perform well in interviews.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“While extroverts (性格外向者) often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish (缩减) over time”可知，性格外向的人往往在面试中会给面试官留下良好的第一印象，故D项正确。‎ ‎9．Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in paragraph 3?‎ A．Trusting others.‎ B．Making good choices.‎ C．Doing their full share of work.‎ D．Trying to share their thoughts.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“On the other hand,‎ ‎ introverts (性格内向者) work hard on a team because they care what others think of them.”可知，内向的人在团队中努力工作，因为他们在意别人对他们的看法。结合画线词所在的句子“They don't want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%”可知，他们不想被视为没有尽到自己的本分或没有做出全部贡献。据此可推知，画线词意为“尽本分”，故C项正确。‎ ‎10．What is Su's attitude towards Bendersky's words?‎ A．Critical. B．Tolerant.‎ C．Doubtful. D．Approving.‎ 解析：选D　观点态度题。根据第三段可知，Bendersky认为内向者在团队中工作努力；又根据第五段中的“Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees”可知，Su赞同并表示管理者应该认识到内向员工的长处。据此可知，Su赞同Bendersky的观点。D项意为“赞成的，同意的”，故D项正确。A项意为“批评的，批判的”，B项意为“宽容的”，C项意为“怀疑的”，都与语境不符。‎ ‎11．What does Wilkins advise managers to do?‎ A．Promote more introverts.‎ B．Learn to work more efficiently.‎ C．Encourage introverts to speak up.‎ D．Avoid conflict among employees.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Managers must try ‎ to help introverts find their voice”并结合该段其他内容可知，Wilkins建议管理者鼓励内向的人勇于表达自己的观点，为团队提供自己的意见，故C项正确。‎ D ‎(2019·重庆第二次调研)Ask 9yearold Annie what the worst thing was that ever happened in her house last year, and she won't tell you that it was her parents' divorcing, although they did. No, what Annie remembers most are the horrible fights leading up to the announcement about the divorce which was, as turned out, despite her parents' anxiety about telling her, “‎ not that big of a deal”. “I already knew they were not getting along well，” Annie says. “Every night after I went to bed, I would hear my parents fighting. It made me really unhappy. When they finally decided to get a divorce, all that stopped.”‎ Annie's experience is more common than you might think and there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that “staying together for the sake of the children” is not what should be encouraged, and may do more harm than good. According to psychologist Lynn Martingdale, hearing their parents arguing is often more stressful for children than separation and divorce, and if you think that your children don't know that there's trouble in family, then you're kidding yourself. The home life of children whose ‎ parents have an unhappy marriage is often far from ideal, and what's worse, parents will compound the problem by taking their unhappiness out on the children.‎ The Center for Moving Forward conducted a study in 2014 in which they followed 25 families whose parents had been in marriage counseling. After tracking these families for 5 years, they found that the children of the parents who eventually got divorced were not worse off than the children of those who remained together, and in some cases fared better. The study took the social and the children's general sense of wellbeing into consideration.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章以9岁的孩子Annie的父母由于争吵导致最终离婚的叙述引入主题，接着通过论据论证了“在不幸的婚姻中，离婚并不是最糟糕的事”这一主题。‎ ‎12．Why was Annie really unhappy according to paragraph 1?‎ A．Because her parents fought every night.‎ B．Because her parents finally got divorced.‎ C．Because her parents decided to abandon her.‎ D．Because her parents got along badly with her.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Every night after I went to bed, I would hear my parents fighting. It made me really unhappy.”可知，Annie的父母每天晚上都吵架，这让她感到很不幸福，故A项正确。‎ ‎13．Which statement may psychologist Lynn Martingdale agree with?‎ A．Separation and divorce will hurt the children most.‎ B．Keeping an unhappy marriage hurts children more.‎ C．Children can't understand their parents' marriage well.‎ D．Children can't feel the unhappiness from their parents.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“According to psychologist Lynn Martingdale, hearing their parents arguing is often more stressful for children than separation and divorce”可知，心理学家Lynn Martingdale认为，听父母吵架对孩子来说往往比分居和离婚更有压力，据此可以判断，Lynn Martingdale认为维持不幸福的婚姻会更加伤害孩子，故B项正确。‎ ‎14．What's the function of the last paragraph in the passage?‎ A．To give an example of divorce.‎ B．To support Annie's correct answer.‎ C．To further clear the author's viewpoint.‎ D．To highlight the importance of the study.‎ 解析：选C　写作目的题。根据最后一段中的“After tracking these families for 5 years, they found that the children of the parents who eventually got divorced were not worse off than the children of those who remained together, and in some cases fared better.”‎ 可知，在对这些家庭进行了5年的跟踪调查后，他们发现，最终父母离婚的孩子并不比那些父母仍在一起的孩子生活得更差，在某些情况下，他们的生活更好。据此可知，最后一段旨在通过研究进一步说明本文的论点：在不幸的婚姻中，离婚不是最糟糕的选择。故C正确。‎ ‎15．What is the best title for the passage?‎ A．Divorce Is Good for Children B．Divorce Is Not the Worst Thing C．Fighting Is Often Stressful D．Staying Together Is for Children Only 解析：选B　标题归纳题。根据第一段第二句和Annie所说的话可知，对孩子们来说，父母的争吵比离婚更糟糕；结合第二段中的“there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that ‘staying together for the sake of the children’ is not what should be encouraged, and may do more harm than good.”可以判断，本文的主旨是：在不幸的婚姻中，和离婚相比，父母为孩子而在一起给孩子的伤害更大。最后一段的研究也论证了这一点。故B项最适合作为本文标题。‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎(2019·河南五校高三下学期联考)For most students, writing more clearly and persuasively presents a great challenge. __16__ Few of them, though, focus on filling their essays with necessary information and details, let alone organizing the information.‎ In order to make an essay convincing, students should know how to ‎ select the necessary information and details. __17__ Information that can help students clarify and better convey their ideas is certainly important. To figure out what this is, you should make sure you understand the theme of the essay. __18__‎ Suppose you were asked to write an essay describing a memorable event in your life. You should start off by thinking about the events you've experienced, and why a particular event is especially memorable to you. __19__ While writing the essay, you should constantly remind yourself that since the event must be a memorable one, you should pay attention to describing the details that make it so special.‎ ‎__20__ Indeed, before you include any information in your essay, you should think about how to link reasons, examples and details together before you start writing. Only then will you be able to produce a strong and coherent (连贯的) essay.‎ A．But how do you know what to include?‎ B．Good writing is sure to leave a deep impression on the readers.‎ C．Through this process, you can choose a meaningful experience.‎ D．You can begin with a question, such as why I'm writing this essay.‎ E．Many can write grammatically correct sentences and choose proper words.‎ F．However, even if you think of good reasons and examples, you must try to organize your essay well.‎ G．Only after clearly understanding the topic can you choose proper reasons and examples to support your ideas.‎ 语篇解读：本文为说明文，简要阐述了一些学生如何写作的要领。‎ ‎16．选E　根据前一句中的most students和后一句中的Few of them可知空处与students有关；根据后一句中的though (然而)可知空处与后一句形成转折关系。故E项正确。‎ ‎17．选A　前一句中的“students should know how to select the necessary information and details”及下文关于如何选择信息的内容与A项中的“what to include”吻合，故A项正确。‎ ‎18．选G　根据前一句中的“you should make sure you understand the theme of the essay”可知G项正确。‎ ‎19．选C　前一句“You should start off by thinking about the events ... to you.”与C项的“this process”吻合，故C项正确。‎ ‎20．选F　下文中的“how to link reasons, examples and details together before you start writing”与F项中的“organize your essay well”吻合，故F项正确。‎
