Your only goal in advertising is to show enough gold to get people to want to be a prospect(期望). Forget about selling them anything.‎ Then how do you show them the gold? Keys to effective advertising are as follows.‎ Talk to one person, and call his/her name.‎ On a crowded Manhattan street, elbow-to-elbow with a sea of people, I still heard someone speak in a conversational voice—“Mark.” I turned my head around. Of course he was talking to someone else, but it still caught my attention.‎ You need to speak to one person, and call his/her name. In marketing, the next best thing to a personal name is your Who and What. For example, “Golfers”=who “have knee pain affecting their swing?”=what. ‎ Educate them in a helpful way.‎ If you have room, take the time to explain one point that will help them with the problem they are facing. For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educate them about something helpful.‎ For instance, “Most pain is actually caused by stress. Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping the pain. Right now, just notice your knee pain. See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense, and breathe into the tension. As it relaxes, see how the pain feels.” If you have more ‎ space, you can go into more details.‎ Offer a trade: their contact information for something valuable.‎ ‎“Of course, your knee pain isn’t gone completely. This is just a clue. If you’d like a free article with illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing, just leave your contact information and you will be given an additional golf swing tip every week.” You can just follow this example.‎ Finally, don’t ignore design.‎ Keep it simple. In a loud, overcrowded world, simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance of being noticed. Use plenty of white space, easy-to-read front(字体), and avoid complicated patterns.‎ Besides, you can try Robin Williams (not THAT Robin Williams) book, The Non-Designer’s Design Book’s. Maybe you can learn something from it.‎ Have fun with your advertising!‎ ‎(　　)56. Which of the following is a tip for advertising successfully?‎ A. Call one’s name whenever meeting with someone.‎ B. Keep in mind that advertising is first journey marketing.‎ C. Pay attention to design and keep it complicated if possible.‎ D. Educate your potential customers about something helpful.‎ ‎(　　)57. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage?‎ A. The golfer’s knee was hurt and he can’t play golf any more.‎ B. The golfer can’t swing because of the knee pain and he needs treatment.‎ C. The golfer’s knee pain was caused by stress and we should help him stop the stress.‎ D. The golfer can’t play golf any more and we’ll speak to him and offer him some tips.‎ B Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s however, a growing part of the fantasy genre(流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting, and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature, as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald.‎ Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J.R.R. Tolkien, was influential to the mass-popularization of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications—The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths—particularly Beowulf—but it was after his work that the genre began to receive the name, “fantasy”. J.R.R. Tolkien’s close friend C.S. Lewis, author of the The Chronicles of Narnia, also an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularizing the commercial success of the fantasy genre.‎ Outstanding, authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly. In recent years, the rate of female-to-male authors in a typically-stocked bookstore has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing the volume of the male ones.‎ Fantasy has been famous from other forms of literature by its style. The fantasy world requires, like any genre, appropriate language, and that language can vary. In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villain’s(坏人) language would be inappropriate if vulgar (粗俗的). Famous fantasy author Raymond E. Feist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were placed in extraordinary situations, and writing about what would happen.‎ ‎(　　)58. How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage?‎ A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven. D. Eight.‎ ‎(　　)59. The underlined word “skyrocketed” in the third paragraph means 　　　　. ‎ A. rise rapidly and suddenly B. drop rapidly and suddenly C. rise slowly and steadily D. drop slowly and steadily ‎(　　)60. This passage is mainly about 　　　　. ‎ A. the background of fantasy literature B. some famous works about fantasy literature C. the origin and its popularity of fantasy literature D. some outstanding authors of fantasy literature C Hold your smart phone, smile at the front camera, and click! You get a selfie. There is no doubt that this photo is yours. But if a monkey takes a selfie, does the camera owner have the right to decide how to use it?‎ Recently, this question has caused a problem between Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization, and British wildlife photographer David J. Slater.‎ In 2011, Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia when a macaque(猕猴) got hold of one of his cameras. “They were quite naughty, jumping all over my equipment,” Slater told The Telegraph, “and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button.” The result was hundreds of monkey selfies. The best of images was a female macaque grinning toothily into the lens.‎ This week, the grinning monkey selfie returned to the news when Wikimedia refused Slater’s request to take the photos down from Wikimedia Commons, a website that is run by the organization and offers free images.‎ According to Wikimedia, anyone who downloads the monkey selfie, or any of the millions of images on the site, can copy and use any works here freely as long as they follow what the author says. The question that arose here was whether Slater, who had not held the camera, set up the shot, or pressed the shutter(快门), could be considered the photographer of the monkey selfie. Wikimedia’s position on this was clear: as the work of a non-human animal, this photo has no human author who owns the copyright.‎ Only authors of creative works, like a piece of writing or a song, own copyrights. In terms of photos, US copyright law says whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the image produced, which means that if tourists ask you to take a photo of them, and you happen to hit the shutter button at the exact moment that Justin Bieber, a Canadian singer, made faces behind them, you, as the photographer, would have the photo’s copyright and sell it. The tourists, who own the camera on which the photo was taken and asked you to take the photo don’t get the right to use it without you allowing them to. All this has been complicated by the appearance of surveillance cameras(监控摄像头), smart phones, and large scale photography projects(批量摄影项目) for which assistants often press the shutter button to produce works whose copyrights belong to their boss.‎ Slater seems to be thinking along these lines. He says that buying the cameras, spending thousands of pounds to transport himself to Indonesia, and allowing the monkeys to “steal” his cameras make him the author of the image, regardless of who pushed the button. “In law, if I have an assistant then I still own the copyright,” he told the Today show. “I believe in this case, the monkey was my assistant.”‎ But if one is to believe his own telling of the monkey stealing his cmnera, Slater didn’t ask the monkeys to take the selfies and finally took the camera away.‎ If that seems unfair, think about this. If a person left her laptop in a café, and a poet picked it up, opened up a word-processing program, and typed out a poem which turned out to be the best poem of this generation, could she ask for much more than her laptop back?‎ ‎(　　)61. The monkey selfie, taken in 2011, returned to the spotlight because 　　　　. ‎ A. Slaler allowed people to download the photo for free B. Slater allowed Wikimedia Commons to download the photo free of charge C. Wikimedia Commons refused to pay Slater any money for the photo on the website D. Wikimedia Commons refused to take the photo down from the website despite Slater’s request ‎(　　)62. According to US copyright law, who might Wikimedia think owned the copyright of monkey photo?‎ A. Slater. B. Wikimedia. C. The monkey. D. No one.‎ ‎(　　)63. The author mentioned Justin Bieber and some special cases to show that 　　　　. ‎ A. whoever pressed the button would have the photo’s copyright in any cases B. only the famous singer would have the copyright to have the image produced C. only the owner of the camera would have the copyright of the photo even if he didn’t take it D. whoever pushed the button would have the copyright but in some special cases things were different ‎(　　)64. From the last paragraph we know that the author 　　　　. ‎ A. supports Wikimedia ‎ B. doesn’t show his attitude at all C. shows great sympathy to Slater ‎ D. agrees with neither Wikimedia nor Slater D How well prepared would the person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? As I see it, there are four keys to getting hired.‎ Prepare to win. “If you miss one day of practice, you notice the difference,” the saying goes ‎ among musicians. “If you miss two days of practice, the critics notice the difference. If you miss three days of practice, the audience notice the difference.”‎ The Michael Jordans of the world have talent, yes, but they’re also the first ones on and the last ones off the basketball court. The same preparation applies in every form of human endeavor.‎ You won’t get every job you go after. The best salespeople don’t close every sale. Michael Jordan makes barely half of his field-goal attempts. But it takes no longer to prepare well for one interview than to wander in half-prepared for five. And your prospects for success will be many times better.‎ Never stop learning. Recently I played a doubles tennis match paired with a 90-year-old. I wondered how things would work out; I shouldn’t have. We hammered our opponents 6—1, 6—1! As we were switching sides to play a third set, he said to me, “Do you mind if I play the backhand court? I always like to work on my weaknesses.” What a fantastic example of a person who has never stopped learning. Incidentally, we won the third set 6-1. As we walked off the court, my 90-year-old partner laughed and said, “I thought you’d like to know about my number-one ranking in doubles in the United States in my age bracket (年龄段), 85 and up!” He wasn’t thinking 90; he wasn’t even thinking 85. He was thinking number one.‎ Believe in yourself, even when no one else does. Do you remember the four-minute mile? (1) Athletes had been trying to do it for hundreds of years and finally decided it was physically impossible for humans. (2) Our bone structure was all wrong, our lung power inadequate. (3) Then one human proved the experts wrong. (4) Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t accomplish your goals. Who says you’re not tougher, harder working and more able than your competitors? You see, a goal is a dream with a deadline: in writing, measurable, identifiable, and attainable. ‎ Find a way to make a difference. In my opinion, the majority of New York cab drivers are unfriendly, if not downright rude. Most of the cabs are dirty, and almost all of them have an unacceptable, bulletproof partition(分隔). But recently I jumped into a cab at LaGuardia Airport and guess what? It was clean. There was beautiful music playing and no partition.‎ Holding up a choice of newspapers, the cab driver even told me to help myself to the fruit in the basket on the back seat. I was shocked. He doesn’t know it, but he’s my hero. He’s living proof that you can always shift the odds in your favor.‎ My mentor(良师), Curt Carlson, is the wealthiest man in Minnesota, owner of a hotel and travel company with sales in the neighborhood of $9 billion. I had to get to a meeting in New York one day, and Curt generously offered me a ride in his jet. It happened to be a day when Minnesota was hit with one of the worst snowstorms in years. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was closed for the first time in decades. Then, though the storm continued to pound(重击) us, the airport opened a runway for small craft only. As we were taxiing down it to take off, Curt turned to me and said cheerfully, “Look, Harvey, no tracks in the snow!”‎ From my standpoint, that’s what it’s all about. Then go out and make your own tracks in the snow.‎ ‎(　　)65. Why does the author quote in the second paragraph?‎ A. To appeal to us to practice.‎ B. To support the theme “prepare to win”.‎ C. To indicate the importance of practice.‎ D. To inform us of the saying among musicians.‎ ‎(　　)66. According to Paragraph 4, the writer probably wants to show us 　　　　. ‎ A. we should expect to get every job as we like B. anyone who wants to get hired should get concentrated C. even the best salespeople don’t try to succeed in every sale D. Michael Jordan is a top athlete because he makes barely half of his field-goal attempts ‎(　　)67. When the writer mentions his experience of playing tennis with the old man, he probably means 　　　　. ‎ A. one may develop his strength if he keeps on learning B. the old man is good at playing tennis and proud of it C. the writer himself is a great talent in playing tennis D. if one keeps working on his weakness, he is sure to succeed ‎(　　)68. From the passage we can infer 　　　　. ‎ A. the goal is not a daydream, because people have no trouble realizing it B. it takes as much time to prepare well for one interwiew as to half prepare for five C. people shouldn’t regard their goal as a kind of dream, because it can be achieved and realized easily D. when we admire other people’s success, we always forget that they have worked on this for a long time ‎(　　)69. Why was Curt so happy when he said that there were no tracks in the snow?‎ A. Because he made his jet take off in the bad weather.‎ B. Because Curt thought they were the first to take off.‎ C. Because the airport opened a runway for small craft only.‎ D. Because he is the owner of a hotel and travel company with sales in the neighborhood of $9 billions.‎ ‎(　　)70. Where could the following sentences be best added in Paragraph 6?‎ And, miracle of miracles, six weeks after Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile, John Landy beat Bannister’s time by nearly two full seconds. Since then, close to eight hundred runners have broken the four-minute mile!‎ A. (1) B. (2) C. (3) D. (4)‎ 第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)‎ 请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。‎ People tend to blame the external(外部的) force when bad things happen and give themselves credit when good things occur. For example, if you passed an exam, the self-serving would lead you to believe that it was because you studied hard. If you failed, on the other hand, you might believe it was because the teacher did not explain the subject correctly, the classroom was too warm or your roommate kept you up all night before the exam. Social psychologists describe this phenomenon as ‎ self-serving bias(自利性偏差).‎ A number of factors have been shown to influence the self-serving bias. Generally, older adults make the internal attribution, that is, credit themselves with their success. Men are more likely to make the external attribution, meaning they tend to blame the outside force for their failure. Often when a person is sad, this kind of bias may be opposite: they will attribute positive results to the outside help or even luck, and blame themselves when bad things happen.‎ Experts suggest that while this bias is quite widespread in the Western culture including the US and Canada, it tends to be much less frequent in the Eastern culture including China and Japan. Why? Individualist cultures such as the US place greater stress on the personal achievement and self-respect, so protecting the self from feelings of failure is more important. Collectivist cultures, on the other hand, are more likely to attribute the personal success to luck and failure to the lack of talent.‎ However, there are some situations where the self-serving bias happens less often. Some research has found that people in close relationships, whether the romantic relationship or friendship, tend to be more modest. Your friends or your partner, in other words, would remind you when a bad situation might be partly because of your own doing.‎ Although the bias can mean avoid the personal responsibility for one’s action, in many cases, it is a defense mechanism that protects a person’s self-respect. By attributing positive events to personal characteristics, people get an increase in confidence. By blaming the outside force for failure, people make themselves believe they don’t need to be responsible for the failure and thus protect their self-respect.‎ Another advantage of this bias is that it leads people to persevere even in the face of difficult situations. An unemployed worker may feel more motivated to keep looking for work if he attributes his unemployment to a weak economy, for example, rather than some personal failure. An athlete might feel more motivated to perform well if he believes that his failure during a previous event is the result of bad weather rather than a lack of skill.‎ Self-Serving Bias The concept of the self-serving bias ‎·The self-serving bias mirrors a common phenomenon that people always attribute their success to the (71)　　　　 reasons while failure to the objective ones. ‎ Factors (72)　　　 ‎ the self-serving bias ‎·The self-serving bias is linked to (73)　　　　 and gender(性别). ‎ ‎·The self-serving bias is also connected with one’s (74)　　　　. For example, an unhappy person tends to blame himself when bad things happen. ‎ ‎·Different (75)　　　　 backgrounds, whether individualist or collectivist, also have much to do with the self-serving bias. For example, when faced with failure, the former needs more (76) 　　　　while the latter needs to bear appropriate (77)　　　　 . ‎ ‎·The bias happens less (78)　　　　 when people are in close relationships. ‎ Advantages of the self-serving bias ‎·The bias helps in protecting a person’s self-respect by increasing his confidence and (79)　　　　 him from the personal responsibility for the future. ‎ ‎·The bias provides people with essential (80)　　　　, which helps them keep ‎ struggling. ‎ 第五部分:书面表达(满分25分)‎ 请阅读下面短文,并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ In life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control. For instance, we can be incredibly nice and love someone deeply, and they may not love us back. We can work harder than anyone else at our lessons and still not be as excellent as our peers. We can eat healthy food, exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, and still get sick.‎ My first marriage ended in divorce. To me, it felt very unfair. I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother. However, no matter what I did, I could not make the relationship work.‎ I could have been shut down by that experience. I could have decided that if one person didn’t appreciate me as a wife, then no one would. I could have given up. But I knew that I wanted to be married. I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family life. So I didn’t let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married. And then one day, I met this kind, thoughtful, generous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage. But that wouldn’t have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage.‎ ‎ What I’ve learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outcome, but get bad things in return instead.‎ The bottom line is that life is not fair. That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us. As a result, some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life. They can’t handle the fact that our efforts don’t always get the results that we expect. But if we let life’s unfairness defeat us, we will never receive the beautiful blessings that life has in store for us.‎ ‎[写作内容]‎ ‎1. 以约30个词概括短文内容;‎ ‎2. 用约120个词就“生活中处处存在看似不公平的事”这一主题发表你的看法,内容包括以下要点:‎ ‎(1) 你对这一现象的看法(至少两点);‎ ‎(2) 假如你遇到这一现象,你会如何处理。‎ ‎[写作要求]‎ ‎1. 可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用原文中的句子;‎ ‎2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;‎ ‎3. 不必写标题。‎ ‎[评分标准]‎ 概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,语篇连贯。‎ ‎2020年东山中学高三英语模拟周测卷（答案）‎ 第二部分英语知识运用 第一节单项填空 ‎21.

B句意：—“我要不要问问Tom，如果我不邀请他来聚会的话，他会不会失落？”—“如果他还未提及，那就别自找麻烦了吧”。 let sleeping dogs lie“别惹麻烦”，符合题意。bite your tongue忍住不说，eat your words承认错误，face the music面对现实。‎ 第二节完形填空 ‎【语篇导读】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一对加拿大的夫妇通过法律手段使孩子们免于做作业而取得的胜利。‎ ‎36. C一对加拿大的夫妇赢得了法律的胜利使他们的孩子免除了家庭作业。根据文章第4段“homework battle every night”提示。‎ ‎37. A在成功地辩论了没有明显的证据表明作业能够提高孩子的学业之后。evidence“证据”，符合语境。clue多指“线索”。‎ ‎38. DShelli and Tom Milley在斗争了四年后终于开始了这类案件的处理。launch“开始，发起”。‎ ‎39. D四年让他们的儿子在课外做家庭作业的斗争。struggling表示“斗争”，根据后文“long war”提示。‎ ‎40. A他们决定对他们的小儿子做些不同的事。 根据第3段“Milleys’ Differentiate Homework Plan”提示，用differently。‎ ‎41. B作为律师，他们想使这件事变得正式。用official“正式的”。‎ ‎42. C他们花了两年的时间来协商儿子们的不同的作业计划，故用negotiate“协商”。‎ ‎43. C这确保他们的孩子不需要在目前的学校做作业。current“当前的”。‎ ‎44. B这个两页的计划是由孩子，家长，老师共同签署的。sign“签署”。‎ ‎45. D约定规定了家庭作业不成为衡量一个学生表现的形式，evaluation“评估，衡量”。‎ ‎46. A孩子们不需要做家庭作业，作为交换，他们必须在课内完成作业。in return“作为回报，作为交换”。‎ ‎47. A不做家庭作业但是要为上课做好准备，根据后文“revise”提示，用prepared“准备好的”。‎ ‎48. C这是一个持续的做作业的战争。constant“持续不断的”。‎ ‎49. B很难让一个哭啼的孩子理解数学题目的。take in“理解，接受”。‎ ‎50. D他们不应该根据班次时间来处理手头的家庭作业。shift“轮班，工作，班次时间”。‎ ‎51. B为什么让我们的家庭经受着巨大压力，go through“经历(痛苦、困难等)”。‎ ‎52. C我们都不想，我们不应该去忍受这种压力，have it“忍受着（这种压力）”。‎ ‎53. AShelli开始收集关于家庭作业的研究，collect“收集”。‎ ‎54. B在家庭作业和学习表现方面没有清晰的关联。link“关联”。‎ ‎55.

D细节理解题。由“Educate them in a helpful way”这个标题下面的第一段的第二句话“For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educate them about something helpful.” 就一些小的广告，你可以给他们一些网址，教育他们哪些是有用的，可推出答案。‎ ‎57. B细节理解题。句意理解题。根据上一句可知在市场营销的时候，你要注意针对某一个个人，了解他是谁，需要什么。比如一个高尔夫队员，就意味着有可能会由于膝盖受损导致不能旋转挥杆，因此就需要治疗。‎ B ‎【语篇导读】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了与幻想小说相关的作家，作品以及其起源和流行。‎ ‎58. B细节理解题。第一段最后一句出现三个fantasy writers；第二段第一句出现一个，第三段出现一个；第四段第第三句出现一个。一共提到六位fantasy writer，故选B ‎59. A词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中“with female authors surpassing the volume of the male ‎ ones”可知是女性与男性作家的比例飙升。‎ ‎60. C主旨大意题。阅读整篇文章可知本文主要介绍了幻想小说的起源及其流行。‎ C ‎【语篇导读】‎ 本文是议论文，主要就一张猴子的自拍照片的所有权的问题在维基媒体和摄影师之间展开了争论。‎ ‎61. D细节理解题。第四段第一句中“This week, the grinning monkey selfie returned to the news when Wikimedia refused Slater’s request to take the photos down from Wikimedia Commons, a website that is run by the organization and offers free images.”当维基媒体拒绝了Slater把照片维基网上撤下来的要求的时候，这张猴子的自拍照再一次受到媒体的关注。‎ ‎62. C推理判断题。从第五段中可知道维基媒体认为照片的作者有权利对其进行copy and use，而最后一句表明其态度“as the work of a non-human animal, this photo has no human author who owns the copyright.”可知维基认为这张照片不是人类的作品，没有人类可以拥有照片的版权，所以版权应该属于拍照的猴子。‎ ‎63. D推理判断题。第六段第二句中“whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the image produced,”可知任何一个按下快门的人拥有照片的所有权，再根据第六段最后一句“All this has been complicated by the appearance of surveillance cameras(监控摄像头), smart phones, and large scale photography projects(批量摄影项目) for which assistants often press the shutter button to produce works whose copyrights belong to their boss.”可知但是由于监控摄像头、手机和批量摄影项目的出现，按下快门的助手并不拥有照片所有权，而是属于老板，这一切又把这个问题复杂化了。所以有时候有些情况比较特殊。‎ ‎64.‎ ‎ A推理判断题。最后一段举的例子说明如果一个电脑被遗忘在咖啡馆里，一个诗人用这台电脑写出了一首好诗，那么这首诗的版权就不是电脑主人的而是属于是诗人的。同理猴子利用摄影师的相机自拍的照片的主权就不属于摄影师，应该属于猴子。所以维基网没有必要把照片撤下来，所以他支持维基网。‎ D ‎【语篇导读】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，就如何获得一份工作提出了四个建议。‎ ‎65. C推理判断题。根据题干定位第二段，引用的目的是为了说明直接关联的观点。引文围绕If you miss practice而产生的后果说明了练习的重要性。B为干扰选项错在“prepare to win”并不是这一段的主题句。‎ ‎66. B细节理解题。根据第四段的最后两句“But it takes no longer to prepare well for one interview than to wander in half-prepared for five. And your prospects for success will be many times better.”，可知认真准备一个面试不比马马虎虎准备五个面试花的时间更长，但是成功的概率却要大好多，因此做好一件事你需要集中精力，所以选B。根据原文中“You won’t get every job you go after”可以排除A。C选项salespeople只是举的例子，并不是作者希望告诉我们的道理。“Michael Jordan makes barely half of his field-goal attempts.”说的是即使是乔丹这么成功的人，投篮命中率勉强过半，但是并不是因为投篮命中率勉强过半，才变成成功的人，逻辑有误。‎ ‎67. A推理判断题。 根据文章第五段中“I always like to work on my weaknesses” “He was thinking number one”以及段内讲的内容支持段落主旨“Never stop learning”可见选A。‎ ‎68. D推理判断题。从文章第三段乔丹的案例，“The Michael Jordans of the world have talent, yes, but they’re also the first ones on and the last ones off the basketball court. The same preparation applies in every form of human endeavor.”我们往往看到乔丹的才能，但是忽略他们第一个来最后一个走这种努力。可见我们敬佩他人成功的时候常常忽视了背后长时间的努力。故选D。‎ ‎69. B推理判断题。雪上没有轨迹可以推测我们是第一个起飞。‎ ‎70. D推理判断题。定位文章第六段“Then one human proved the experts ‎ wrong”有一个人证明了专家的观点是错误的，接下来举了一个具体的事例，故插到（4）的位置。‎ 第四部分任务型阅读 ‎【语篇导读】‎ 本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述的是一种自利性偏差的概念，影响因素以及其优势。‎ ‎71. subjective第一段一、二两句可以看出，当失败的时候就把原因归结为客观原因，当成功是就把原因归结为主观原因，根据题中objective的提示也可以写出反义词，subjective。‎ ‎72. influencing/affecting/impacting第二段第一句“A number of factors have been shown to influence the self-serving bias”可知，这里填动词影响，根据句式要用ing形式。‎ ‎73. age第二段第二句“older adults”可以看出自利性偏差与年龄有关。‎ ‎74. mood/emotion(s)/feelings第二段第四句“when a person is sad”可以看出自利性偏差与情绪有关。‎ ‎75. cutural第三段中提到了各个国家及其文化，所以这里指文化背景不一样。‎ ‎76. protection/encouragement(s)/comfort(s)第三段中第二句“so protecting the self from feelings of failure is more important”可知，个人主义者需要更多的保护。‎ ‎77. responsibility第三段第三句中提到，集体主义者大多把成功归结于幸运，把失败归结于没有天赋，这样的行为就体现出责任的缺失，所以集体主义者需要承担适当的责任。或者可根据第五段最后一句中的“be responsible for”得到提示。‎ ‎78. often/frequently第四段第一句，“less often”这里可以填often，也可以同义转换为frequently。‎ ‎79. freeing第五段最后一句“they don’t need to be responsible for the failure”，这里指不需要为失败负责，同义转换为free from responsibility，参照句式这里填的动词要用ing形式。‎ ‎80. motivation第六段第二、三句中工人和运动员都“feel more ‎ motivated”可知这里填motivation。‎ 第五部分书面表达 ‎【参考范文】‎ Life is full of varieties of seemingly unfair experiences, which may defeat those who have lost courage and even confidence, but bless those who remain true to their original aspiration.‎ For many reasons, we often have to encounter unfairness in a complex society. No one can avoid or escape unexpected changes in our daily lives： however, unfairness, if it sets us reflecting upon our mistakes and failure, may be a route toward success.‎ When we’re faced with life’s seeming unfairness, our faith needs to jump in. When life doesn’t go according to plan, we have to let go of the outcome that we are looking forward to and keep trying, working hard and doing the right thing. Please don’t be discouraged. Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward. And by knowing that if we remain confident, we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.‎
