D．Noonecanmakeagoodcoatwithbadcloth.【答案】1．A2．D3．C4．B【分析】本文是记叙文。作者从女儿患读写困难症，谈到自己也有读写困难，但是作者通过自己的努力成为了一位成功的电视作家，并获得了艾米奖。作者认为读写困难不是诅咒，而是礼物。上帝给你关上一扇门的同时必然会为你打开一扇窗。1．细节理解题。根据第一段的Wehadhertested.Idecidedtogetmyselftestedaswell,andfoundthatthetroublesshewashavingwereexactlywhatIhadhad—dyslexia.可知，作者和女儿一起做了检测，发现女儿的确有和作者曾经有的一样的问题——读写困难。因此推断，作者决定自己也做检查是因为他想要知道是否他和女儿有同样的问题。故选A。2．推理判断题。根据第二段的IfIhadknownearlierthatsomethingbeyondmycontrolcouldexplainwhyIwasalowachiever,Imaynothaveworkedsohardinmylate20sandearly30s.(如果我早些时候知道一些超出我控制范围的事情可以解释为什么我是一个学渣，我可能在20多岁和30多岁的时候没有这么努力)可知，作者感激没有早知道有读写困难症。故选D。3．细节理解题。根据第四段的MostpeoplewhogothroughcollegereadtwiceasfastasIdo.(大多数读大学的人读得比我快两倍)可知，一个读写困难的人读得比正常人慢。故选C。4．推理判断题。根据最后一段的DespitemyweaknessesIviewdyslexiaasagift,notacurse(诅咒).Manydyslexicsaregoodatright-brain,abstractthought,andthat’swhatmykindofcreativewritingis.AndIcanwritequickly,andcangetupto15pagesaday.Writingismystrength.(尽管我有弱点，但我认为诵读困难是一种礼物，而不是一种诅咒。许多诵读困难者擅长右脑、抽象思维，这就是我的创造性写作。我能写得很快，每天最多能写15页。写作是我的力量)可推断，上帝给你关上一扇门的同时必然会为你打开一扇窗。故选B。BIreadsomewherethatwespendafullthirdofourliveswaiting.Butwherearewedoingallofthiswaiting,andwhatdoesitmeantoanimpatientsocietylikeours?Tounderstandtheissue,let’stakealookatthreetypesof“waits”.TheverypurestformofwaitingistheWatched-PotWait,ItiswithoutdoubtthemostannoyingofallTakefillingupthekitchensink(洗碗池)asanexample.Thereisabsolutelynothingyoucandowhilethisisgoingonbutkeepbotheyesfixedonthesinkuntilit’sfull.Duringthesewaits,thebrainslipsawayfromthebodyandwandersaboutuntilthewaterrunsovertheedgeofthecounterandontoyoursocks.Thiskindofwaitmakesthewaiterhelplessandmindless.AcousintotheWatched-PotWaitistheForcedWait.Thisonerequiresabitofdiscipline.ProperlypreparingpackagednoodlesouprequiresaForcedWait.Directionsareveryspecific.“Bringthreecupsofwatertoboil,addmix,simmerthreeminutes,removefromheat,letstandfiveminutes.”Ihavemydoubtsthatanyonehasactuallyfollowedtheproceduresstrictly.Afterall,ForcedWaitingrequirespatiencePerhapsthemostpowerfultypeofwaitingistheLucky-BreakWait.Thistypeofwaitisunusualinthatitisforthemostpartvoluntary.UnliketheForcedWait,whichisalsovoluntary,waitingforyourluckybreakdoesnotnecessarilymeanthatitwillhappen.Turningone’slifeintoawaitinggamerequiresfaithandhope,andisstrictlyfortheoptimistsamongus.Onthesurfaceitseemsasridiculousasfollowingthedirectionsonsoupmixes,buttheLucky-BreakWaitwellservesthosewhoarewillingtodoit.Aslongasonedoesn’tcometorelyonit,wishingforafewgoodthingstohappenneverhurtsanybody.Wecertainlydospendagooddealofourtimewaiting.Thenexttimeyou’restandingatthesinkwaitingforittofillwhilecookingnoodlesoupthatyou’llhavetoeatuntilalargebagofcashfallsoutofthesky,don’tbedesperate.You’reprobablyjustasbusyasthenextguy.5．WhiledoingaWatched-PotWaitwetendto__________.A．keepourselvesbus B．getabsent-minded C．growanxious D．stayfocused6．WhatisthedifferencebetweentheForcedWaitandtheWatched-PotWait?A．TheForcedWaitrequiressomeself-control.

D．Don’tloseheart【答案】5．B6．A7．B8．D【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了等待分为三种，我们不应该在等待时失去信心。5．细节理解题。根据第二段“Thereisabsolutelynothingyoucandowhilethisisgoingonbutkeepbotheyesfixedonthesinkuntilit’sfull.Duringthesewaits,thebrainslipsawayfromthebodyandwandersaboutuntilthewaterrunsovertheedgeofthecounterandontoyoursocks.”（在这个过程中，你什么也做不了，只能盯着水槽，直到它满了。在等待的过程中，大脑离开了身体，四处游荡，直到水溢出柜台的边缘，流到你的袜子上。）可知，当我们盯着水池看的时候，我们往往心不在焉。故选B。6．细节理解题。根据第三段“AcousintotheWatched-PotWaitistheForcedWait.Thisonerequiresabitofdiscipline.”（与“守锅等待”类似的是“强制等待”。“强迫等待”需要一点自制力。）可知，强迫等待与守锅等待的区别是强迫等待需要一些自制力。故选A。7．细节理解题。根据文章“UnliketheForcedWait,whichisalsovoluntary,waitingforyourluckybreakdoesnotnecessarilymeanthatitwillhappen.”（不像强迫等待，它是自愿的，等待你的幸运突破并不一定意味着它会发生。）可知，幸运的等待并不总是带来预期的结果。故选B。8．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Thenexttimeyou’restandingatthesinkwaitingforittofillwhilecookingnoodlesoupthatyou’llhavetoeatuntilalargebagofcashfallsoutofthesky,don’tbedesperate.”（我们确实花费了相当长时间等待。下次当你站在水槽旁煮面汤，期待着它被注满时，即使没有一大袋现金从天而降，也不要感到绝望。）可知，作者建议我们下次等待时不要失去信心。故选D。第二节七选五根据短文内容，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。Youmayhaveheardofthe“fightorflight”response—anevolutionarysystemthatallowsustoenterasurvivalstateinthepresenceofphysicalorpsychologicalthreats.Yourfight-or-flightmodeisactivatedbythesympatheticnervoussystem.It’smeanttoforceyouintoactioninordertotemporarilyprotectorprepareyourselfforsomethingbad.1.Exposuretostressfulsituationsmaybeperceivedbyyourbrainandbodyasintenseandrepetitive,lockingyouintoafight-or-flightstatethatmaycontinuetoexistfordays,monthsorevenyears.Weaskedexpertsaboutsignsthatyourmindandbodyhavenotreturnedtotheirnormal,restingstate.2Whenstressislong-lasting,thebody’sresponsesystembecomesoverwhelmed,causingacollapsethatmayleaveyouunfeelingtoeverything.Thisemotionalsituationcanmakeyoufeellikeyou’reonautopilotordisconnectedfromyourselfandothers.Youmightnotbeabletorespondtoemotions,whichcanleadtoforgetfulness,difficultyoffocusing,tiredness,hopelessnessandself-destructivebehaviors.You’realwaystired,butcan’trest3.Itkeepsthemindandbodyalertandinsurvivalmodetoprotectthemselves.Sleepdisturbancesandmuscletensioncanbecausedbybiologicalchanges.Othersleepproblemscanincludenightmares,earlywaking,restlesssleepanddifficultyoffallingasleep.Long-lastingexposuretocortisol,thestresshormoneinthebody,canputusinaconstantstateofawarenesstooursurroundings.Howtocalmyourfight-or-flightresponseEliminatinglong-lastingstresscanbedifficult.4.Physicalwaystoensureyou’retakingcareofyourselfincludeexercising,eatingregularlyandgettingenoughsleep.5.Mostofall,it’simportanttorecognizewhenyouneedhelp,whichcanmeangettingsupportfromavailableresources.A．You’reemotionallyunfeelingB．Butsometimes,thatcangooutofcontrolC．AcommonsymptomofnonstopstressisoveralertnessD．MakingtimetoprocessyouremotionsisimportantincopingE．Somestresscanbehealthy,contributingtocognitivebenefitsF．Thetruthisthatyourfight-or-flightresponsecankickinanytimeG．Positivesocialsupportcanalsohelpwithstressandprotectyouagainstharm【答案】1．B2．A3．C4．D5．G【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“战斗或逃跑”这一防御机制。1．根据上文“Yourfight-or-flightmodeisactivatedbythesympatheticnervoussystem.It’smeanttoforceyouintoactioninordertotemporarilyprotectorprepareyourselfforsomethingbad.(你的战斗或逃跑模式是由交感神经系统激活的。它的意思是强迫你采取行动，以便暂时保护自己或为不好的事情做好准备。)”和下文“Exposuretostressfulsituationsmaybeperceivedbyyourbrainandbodyasintenseandrepetitive,lockingyouintoafight-or-flightstatethatmaycontinuetoexistfordays,monthsorevenyears.(你的大脑和身体可能会认为暴露在压力环境中是紧张和重复的，将你锁定在一种“战斗或逃跑”的状态中，这种状态可能会持续几天、几个月甚至几年。)”可知，上文提到“战斗或逃跑”这一机制的重要意义，下文提到长期处于有压力的环境下会让自己一直陷于这种机制中。由此可知，空处有转折意味。B项：Butsometimes,thatcangooutofcontrol.(但有时候，这可能会失去控制。)符合语境。故选B。2．空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Whenstressislong-lasting,thebody’sresponsesystembecomesoverwhelmed,causingacollapsethatmayleaveyouunfeelingtoeverything.(当压力持续很长时间，身体的反应系统就会变得不堪重负，导致崩溃，让你对一切都失去感觉。)”可知，人们若长久处于压力之中，身体的反应机制会承受不了，最终使得自己对一切都毫无感觉。下文中的“leaveyouunfeelingtoeverything”与A项中的“emotionallyunfeeling”对应。A项：You’reemotionallyunfeeling.(你在情感上上没有感觉。)符合语境。故选A。3．根据下文“Itkeepsthemindandbodyalertandinsurvivalmodetoprotectthemselves.(它使身心保持警觉，并处于生存模式，以保护自己。)”可知，C项中的“overalertness”和下文中的“alert”对应，表明无休止的压力的另一个征兆是过度警觉。C项：Acommonsymptomofnonstopstressisoveralertness.(持续压力的一个常见症状是过度警觉。)符合语境。故选C。4．根据下文“Physicalwaystoensureyou’retakingcareofyourselfincludeexercising,eatingregularlyandgettingenoughsleep.(确保你照顾好自己的身体方式包括锻炼、规律饮食和充足睡眠。)”可知，空后提到了一些关于“战斗或逃跑”反应的应对方法。D项：Makingtimetoprocessyouremotionsisimportantincoping.(花时间处理你的情绪在应对中很重要。)符合语境。故选D。5．根据上文“Physicalwaystoensureyou’retakingcareofyourselfincludeexercising,eatingregularlyandgettingenoughsleep.(确保你照顾好自己的身体方式包括锻炼、规律饮食和充足睡眠。)”和下文“Mostofall,it’simportanttorecognizewhenyouneedhelp,whichcanmeangettingsupportfromavailableresources.(最重要的是，认识到什么时候需要帮助是很重要的，这意味着要从可用的资源中获得支持。)”可知，空前提到了一些自己可以尝试的方法，空后提到也可以寻求帮助。G项：Positivesocialsupportcanalsohelpwithstressandprotectyouagainstharm.(积极的社会支持也可以帮助缓解压力，保护你免受伤害。)符合语境，表明积极的社会援助也可以起作用。故选G。二、完形填空阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Lettingmemoveintomyuniversitydormitorywasn’taneasydecisionformyparents.However,theyknewifIwantedagood1,I’dhavetoliveawayfromhome.I’dalwaysdre
