(在这两种文化中，龙都被认为是能够飞行的巨大生物。他们有强大的力量和魔法能力。)”可知，在东西方文化中，龙都是能够飞行的巨大生物，拥有强大的力量，通常与魔法能力联系在一起。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Inthewest,however,adragonsymbolizesanevilcreaturethatspreadsviolenceandterrorthroughouttheland.Theyarebelievedtobetransformedbythedevil,withtheabilitytobreathefireorspitpoison.Manywesterntalesshowdragonsbeingdefeatedandkilledtoprotectpeoplefromdanger.(然而，在西方，龙象征着一种邪恶的生物，在整个土地上传播暴力和恐怖。他们被认为是被魔鬼改造的，有能力喷火或吐毒。许多西方故事都讲述了龙被打败和杀死以保护人们免受危险)”可知，在西方文化中，龙象征着一种邪恶的生物，在整个土地上传播暴力和恐怖，许多西方故事都讲述了龙被杀死以保护人类。由此推知，在西方文化中，龙被认为会引起混乱。故选A。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Today,dragonscontinuetochange,findingnewsignificanceinglobalculture.Theyarenolongerconnectedwithevilorgood,butwiththeirownuniquepersonalitiesandmotivations.(今天，龙继续变化，在全球文化中找到新的意义。他们不再与恶或善有关，而是有自己独特的个性和动机。)”可知，在当今的全球文化中，龙有更多不同的情感和个性。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Inbothcultures,dragonsarerecognizedasmassivecreaturescapableofflight.Theyhavegreatpowerandmagicalabilities.However,duetotheirdifferentculturalrootsandimages,therearesignificantdifferencesinthedifferentdragonelementsinthewestandeast,particularlyinChina.(在这两种文化中，龙都被认为是能够飞行的巨大生物。他们有强大的力量和魔法能力。然而，由于其文化根源和形象的不同，中西方特别是中国的龙元素存在着显著差异。)”以及最后一段“Today,dragonscontinuetochange,findingnewsignificanceinglobalculture.

(今天，龙继续变化，在全球文化中找到新的意义。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了龙这一虚构生物在不同文化中的形象和象征意义，并强调了随着全球文化的融合与发展，龙的形象和认知也在不断变化和丰富。文章不仅对比了中西方文化中龙的形象和寓意，还提到了现代文化中龙形象的演变和多样化。由此可知，B项：TheDragonElementsinWorldCulture(世界文化中的龙元素。)是最好的标题。故选B。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。PushyourselvesbeyondthelimitsLimitsareawallbetweenyouandyoursuccess.Youwillfacegreatdifficultieswhenattemptingtobreakthroughthelimits.Theycouldbefear,lackofconfidence,andphysicaldisabilities.Ifyoudesirealifeofsuccess,youmustfacethemandpushyourselfbeyondthelimits.Failingtodosowillmakeyourgoalsanddreamshardtoachieve.____16____Inspireyourself.Don’twaitforexternal(外部的)needtomakethefirstmove.Discoveryourinnereagerness!____17____.Ensureitissomethingthatfillsyouwithpassionanddrivetogetthingsdone.Inspirationcanpushyouforward.Tryalittlemorethanyouthinkyoucan.Pushingpastyourlimitsmeansacceptingnewer,harderchallenges.Ifyou’renotchallengingyourselftodobiggerandbetterthingsregularly,you’reonlyworkingwithinwhatyoualreadycando.____18____.____19____.Itislikelythatyouneedtobuildyourempirestepbystep.Thattakestimeandregulareffort.Onegoodwayistoadopttheapproachof“NoZeroDays”.Thatis,thereisnotadaythatyoudon’tworkonyourbiggoals,atleastalittlebit.Itcanbetwentyminutesdevotedtodoingonesmallthing,whichwillgetyouclosertothatbigthingyouwanttocomplete.Findsomeonewhosupportsyouandencouragesyoutokeepgoing.____20____.Havingsomeonetosupportyoucanfightwithanynegativethinkingthatmaylimityou.Itcouldbealifecoach,friend,parentandyourteachers.Theycanhelpyoumakethepushyouneedtogetoutofyourcomfortzone.A.Romewasn’tbuiltinaday.B.Herearetipsforyoutosucceed.C.Discoverwhereyourpassionlies.D.Workonyourgoalsalittleeachday.E.Itcouldbeaninspiringvideo,articles,TEDTalks,orquotes.F.That’sawaytostaywhereyouareandmakelittleornoprogress.G.Abitofassistancemeansmuchinfacingdifficulties.【答案】16.B17.E18.F19.D20.G【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些能够帮助读者超越自己的极限，并最终取得成功的方法。【16题详解】分析语篇可知，此空应为承上启下句，根据空前的“Ifyoudesirealifeofsuccess,youmustfacethemandpushyourselfbeyondthelimits.Failingtodosowillmakeyourgoalsanddreamshardtoachieve.(如果你渴望成功的生活，你必须面对它们，推动自己超越极限。如果做不到这一点，你的目标和梦想就很难实现。)”可知，如果渴望成就，就要面对困难，推动自己超越极限，结合下文中每段的小标题可知，此处应引出下文介绍的推动极限的方法，B选项“Herearetipsforyoutosucceed.(这里有一些帮助你成功的建议。)”讲述的内容承接上文并引出下文，符合题意。故选B项。【17题详解】根据主题句及空前的“Inspireyourself.Don’twaitforexternal(外部的)needtomakethefirstmove.Discoveryourinnereagerness!(激励自己。不要等到外部需要才迈出第一步。发现你内心的渴望!)”可知，本段讲述的是能够激励自己推动自己，E选项“Itcouldbeaninspiringvideo,articles,TEDTalks,orquotes.(它可以是一个鼓舞人心的视频、文章、TED演讲或名言。)”列举了激励自己的方法和途径，与本段内容一致，且与空前内容吻合。故选E项。【18题详解】根据空前的“Ifyou’renotchallengingyourselftodobiggerandbetterthingsregularly,you’reonlyworkingwithinwhatyoualreadycando.(如果你不经常挑战自己去做更大更好的事情，你就只能在你已经能做的范围内工作。)”可知，不挑战自己就只能做能力范围内的事情，F选项“That’sawaytostaywhereyouareandmakelittleornoprogress.(这是一种原地踏步，几乎没有进步的方式。)”讲述的内容是对空前内容的进一步解释，其中that指代的为空前的行为方式，符合语境。故选F项。【19题详解】分析语篇可知，此空为本段的主题句，结合其它段落的主题句可知，此空为祈使句，根据空后的“Itislikelythatyouneedtobuildyourempirestepbystep.Thattakestimeandregulareffort.(你可能需要一步一步地建立你的帝国。这需要时间和经常性的努力。)”可知，该段讲述的是一步一步地建立帝国，需要时间和不断努力，D选项“Workonyourgoalsalittleeachday.(每天为你的目标努力一点。)”为祈使句，且讲述的内容概括了本段主题，符合题意。故选D项。【20题详解】根据本段主题句“Findsomeonewhosupportsyouandencouragesyoutokeepgoing.(找一个支持你、鼓励你继续前进的人。)”可知，本段主要介绍的是通过一个支持你、鼓励你的人帮助你继续前进，G选项“Abitofassistancemeansmuchinfacingdifficulties.(在面对困难时，一点帮助意味着很多。)”讲述的内容与主题一致，且与空后的“Havingsomeonetosupportyoucanfightwithanynegativethinkingthatmaylimityou.(有人支持你可以与任何可能限制你的消极想法作斗争。)”内容吻合，均是讲述的是有人支持对推动前进有很大的帮助。故选G项。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。MaryisahighschoolstudentfromGeorgia.Everyday,sheuseshersmartphonetosearchfor____21____information.Andshealways____22____herselfies(自拍)anddailyroutinesonherownFacebook.Oneday,shementionedabakeryonherhomepage,____23____thebreadsheboughtlastweek,whichshethoughtwasnotfreshanddelicious.Notlongafterthat,shereceiveda____24____emailfromtheshopowner.____25____,manysupportersofthebakeryfloodedintoherFacebooktoattackherandspreadMary’sselfiesto____26____her.____27____,Maryhadtocallthepolicetoprotectherself.Thepolicesaidtheirbehaviourwas____28____aformofonlineviolence,andifitweren’tforthepolicemen’shelp,Marywouldhavesufferedevenmoreharm.Peoplesharealotlike____29____andpicturesonsocialmediaaccounts.Everywherepeoplegoonline,theyleavea_____30_____footprint.Thepolicegavehersome_____31_____:themorepersonalinformationshegaveout,themorelikelyshewouldbe_____32_____.Therefore,tostayawayfromthecyberbully,don’texposetoomuchpersonal_____33_____online.Fromthenon,Maryhastakenthepolicemen’stipsinto_____34_____,seldom_____35_____herpersonalinformationandgoingonlinemorecautiously.21.A.adapted
