and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore,a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization.They were there to buy a sink.Josh,then 11,also noticed a collection of pennies.“I instantly felt the urge to help out with that,” he said.Josh set a fundraising deadline of four years.Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000,but it didn’t shake his faith.He raised money at his school and other nearby schools.He collected money from neighbours,got publicity from local newspapers,and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.‎ Josh’s fundraising efforts began to produce results.Still,there were challenges.Four months before his deadline,he was $30,000 short.He decided to hold Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge,which is in the province of Ontario.The event raised $19,000.‎ ‎“I didn’t care how long it took me,”Josh said.“I would raise $100,000.” With three weeks left,a company called Josh’s house,offering to donate $18,000.Eventually,Josh reached a total of $134,000 before the deadline.“The momentum just kept going,and we decided to do more,”he said.“Josh’s Penny House”is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa,along with 24 new townhouses.Josh has helped with some of the construction,as have other volunteers.He will choose the family that moves into the unit. ‎ Next year,the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia,Canada’s westernmost province.As a 11-year-old kid when starting fundraising,Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world.No matter how old you are,if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it,it can come true.‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。17岁的乔什·莫里森梦想筹集100,000美元,为低收入家庭建造家园。经过多年的努力,他的梦想终于实现。‎ ‎24.Which word can best describe Josh Morrison in Paragraph 2?‎ A.Cautious. B.Straightforward.‎ C.Open-minded. D.Determined.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第二段可知,六年前,乔什提出四年的筹资期限,许多人怀疑他是否能达到100,000美元的目标,但这并没有动摇他的信念,他开始到处筹资,因此可以看出乔什是信心坚定的、不可动摇的,因此用determined最恰当。故选D项。‎ ‎25.Why were the Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event held in Uxbridge?‎ A.To attain his goal.‎ B.To call for more attention.‎ C.To win approval from the locals.‎ D.To find sponsors for a family.‎ 答案A 解析细节理解题。由第三段可知,在离最后期限差4个月时,他还缺少30,000美元。他决定在Uxbridge举办家庭娱乐博览会和意大利面晚餐。其目的就是为了他的目标,100,000美元。故选A项。‎ ‎26.What does the underlined sentence in Para.4 mean?‎ A.He received continuous donations.‎ B.His project became more popular.‎ C.He got more support from his family.‎ D.The result was beyond expectations.‎ 答案A 解析句意理解题。由第四段可知,乔什的筹资梦想实现,并且决定要做更多,可推测句意为他收到持续的捐款。故选A项。‎ ‎27.What can be the best title for the text?‎ A.Kindness from a Company B.The Penny House Dream C.An Astonishing Fundraiser D.A Boy with a Warm Heart 答案B 解析主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知,本文主要讲述17岁的乔什·莫里森梦想用四年的时间筹集100,000美元,为低收入家庭建造家园,梦想最终实现。B项符合文章主题,而且有新意。‎ C Think back to when you were in a classroom,and the teacher set a difficult problem.Which of the two following answers is closer to the way you reacted?‎ A: Oh no,this is too hard for me.I’m not even going to seriously try.‎ B: Ah,this is quite difficult but I like to push myself.Even if I don’t get the answer right,maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.‎ The psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of children problems that were slightly too hard.One group reacted positively,said they loved challenge and understood that their abilities could be developed.She says they had a “growth mindset”.But another group felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed.They had a “fixed mindset” and were unable to imagine improving.‎ Professor Dweck believes that,for years,children have been praised for their intelligence or talent,but this makes them sensitive to failure.They want to please by getting high grades,without interest in learning.The solution is to praise the process that children are engaged in: making an effort,using learning methods and improving.This way they will become better and achieve more.‎ Psychologists have been testing these theories.Students were taught that if they left their comfort zone and learned something new and difficult,they will be more intelligent.These students made faster progress than a control group.In another study,unsuccessful school children were using growth mindset techniques for a year.The results were astonishing.They came top in a regional test,beating children from much more advanced background.These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of being stupid,but they came to see it as the key to learning.‎ So,back to our original question.If you answered B,well done—you already have a growth mindset.If A,don’t worry;everyone is capable of becoming better with a little effort and self-awareness.‎ ‎【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成长型思维模式与固定性思维模式在学习过程中的表现、背后的心理因素以及我们平时要如何做去培养学生养成成长型思维模式。心理学家通过实验的方法也确定通过成长型思维模式训练,学生进步会很快很明显。‎ ‎28.What is the purpose of the author mentioning the two answers at the beginning?‎ A.To give an example.‎ B.To teach how to react.‎ C.To draw a conclusion.‎ D.To introduce the topic.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。由文章结构可知,文章开头提到两种回答方式是让读者能够直观地感受到什么是成长型思维模式,什么是固定性思维模式。也就是说为了介绍本文话题。故选D项。‎ ‎29.Which aspect should be praised according to Professor Dweck?‎ A.Talent. B.High grades.‎ C.Hard-working. D.Achievement.‎ 答案C 解析细节理解题。由倒数第三段第三句可知,解决同学们害怕失败的问题的方法是表扬孩子参与的过程,例如很努力、使用了学习到的方法和有进步等。也就是说应该表扬孩子努力的过程。故选C项。‎ ‎30.What makes the students with fixed mindset fail?‎ A.Lacking imagination.‎ B.Negative attitudes.‎ C.Poor judgment.‎ D.Low intelligence.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。由倒数第四段中的最后两句可知,固定性思维的人认为他们的智力正在被考验并且他们已经失败了,他们无法想象进步。并且由倒数第二段中的研究可知,当学业不好的学生经过一年成长型思维的培训,结果是惊人的,也就是说不是学生的能力不行,而是他们的消极的思维方式使得他们学习成绩不好。故选B项。‎ ‎31.What does the underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refer to?‎ A.Making an effort. B.The regional test.‎ C.The background. D.The comfort zone.‎ 答案A 解析词义猜测题。“but”前后是两个并列的分句,前半个分句意思为:这些小孩之前认为努力是傻的标志,后半个分句中they came to see说明是现在的情况,现在他们把努力看作是学习的关键。所以前后两个分句中宾语一致,it指代making an effort。故选A项。‎ D Who’s in control of your life?Who’s pulling your strings?For the majority of us,it’s other people—society,colleagues,friends,family or our community.We learned this way of operating when we were very young,of course.We were brainwashed.We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us.As Oscar Wilde puts it,“Most people are other people.Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions,their lives a mimicry,their passions a quotation.”‎ So when people tell us how wonderful we are,it makes us feel good.We long for this good feeling like a drug—we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can.Therefore,we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives,failing to do the things we really want to.Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsening lives to keep getting their fix we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.‎ But,just as with any drug,there is a price to pay.The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves.The truth is that we cannot control what other people think.People have their own agenda,and they come with their own baggage and,in the end,they’re more interested in themselves than in you.Furthermore,if we try to live by the opinions of others,we will build our life ‎ on sinking sand.Everyone has a different way of thinking,and people change their opinions all the time.The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting tired and probably pleasing no one in the process.‎ So how can we take back control?I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values—not values imposed from the outside by others,but innate values which come from within.If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others,we will live a more authentic,effective,purposeful and happy life.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章阐述了我们不应该太在意别人的观点,为得到别人的同意而迷失自我,我们不应该让别人的想法来控制我们的生活。‎ ‎32.What Oscar Wilde says implies that　　　. ‎ A.most people have a variety of thoughts B.we have thoughts similar to those of others C.other people’s thoughts are more important D.most people’s thoughts are affected by others 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第一段可知,Oscar Wilde所说的意味着大多数人的思想都受到他人的影响。故选D项。‎ ‎33.What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?‎ A.The price of taking the drug is freedom.‎ B.We may lose ourselves to win the approval of others.‎ C.We need to pay for what we want to get.‎ D.Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知,第三段谈论的是我们可能会为了赢得别人的认可而失去自我。故选B项。‎ ‎34.It can be concluded from the passage that　　　. ‎ A.it’s better to follow others’ opinions B.it’s important to accept others’ comments C.we shouldn’t change our own decision D.we shouldn’t care too much what others think 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,我们不应该太在意别人的想法。故选D项。‎ ‎35.The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by　　　. ‎ A.discussing questions B.making suggestions C.analyzing causes and effects D.providing examples and facts 答案C 解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者试图说服读者接受他的论点,主要是通过分析原因和结果。故选C项。‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。‎ It is an old expression about some people who are highly motivated about work in itself with the opposite view of someone who works to live.　36　But answering it honestly and accurately is critical to making intelligent career choices,and to your ultimate happiness in life.Unfortunately,many people lack the self-knowledge and realistic expectations necessary to address this vital issue properly. ‎ Certain people,it is said,live to work.Their lives center on their work or careers and that achievement in their professions is a major source of satisfaction and meaning in their lives.　37　 In some cases,achieving huge levels of pay is considered more as a means of proving your worth than it is for the money itself. ‎ By contrast,other people work to live.These people view their work or careers largely as toil whose purpose is to earn the money necessary to support themselves and their dependents.Their real interests lie elsewhere.　38　 Some of these people try to cut corners,to gain the maximum pay for the minimum amount of effort.Others do indeed take great pride in their work and put great effort into doing their jobs well,but their jobs simply are not the centers of their lives. ‎ ‎　39　 Examples abound in individuals who lose their native passion for work because they cannot find an adequate position or pay in their preferred fields of endeavor.When they settle for jobs in other fields,they often do so strictly for benefits,such as compensation (补偿).　40　 ‎ A.It’s critical to understand it.‎ B.Money may not be a motivation.‎ C.They may develop a same attitude.‎ D.And their work or careers are only means to an end,not an end in itself.‎ E.There is no right or wrong answer to the question of which attitude is better.‎ F.The answer for a given individual may differ based on his or her circumstances.‎ G.Many individuals used to work to live but after a change of career start living to work.‎
