　　For any student， moving away from home can be daunting （使人氣餒的）.But I didn’t expect student life in Scotland to be all that different from my home in the Netherlands.After all， we get the same news and TV shows online.However， when I moved from Amsterdam to study at the University of Stirling， I began to realise that a few small things caught me off balance.I was suffering a minor culture shock.
　　In my freshman year， I quickly found out my English was not as good as I’d assumed.Most of my flatmates were born and raised in Scotland， and I constantly found myself having to ask them to repeat themselves.Their Scottish accents didn’t help and I was mispronouncing names and places all the time.
　　Then I had to adjust to a new social life.I was surprised by the campus culture in the UK — in the Netherlands， most universities don’t have one main campus where you can attend university， as well as live and exercise all in the same place.Also， Dutch universities typically offer fewer societies， so students take part in activities in the community or town where they live.But here， you never have to leave campus if you don’t want to.I had to get used to everyone being so close to each other all the time.
　　But I’ve found lots of pleasant surprises in the UK too — and so have many other international students I know.Eimear McCarthy， studying sport psychology in Stirling， and originally from Ireland， said she was taken aback by how smartly male students dress in Stirling compared to her friends at home.However， on the downside， she found that Scottish shops don’t sell her favourite Irish corn snack.“The UK doesn’t have Meanies， which is just horrible，” she told me.“Meanies are my life.”
　　Culture shock can knock your confidence in the beginning.But you’re not alone in taking time to adapt， and soon you start to get used to all the differences.Looking back， most of the shocks I experienced made good stories to tell my friends.
24.Which of the following best explains “caught me off balance” underlined in Paragraph 1？（　　）
A.Taught me a lesson. B.Made me different.
C.Surprised me. D.Frightened me.
25.What did the author realise in her first year in the UK？（　　）
A.Asking questions repeatedly was an annoying habit.
B.It was easy for non-locals to pick up a Scottish accent.
C.The pronunciation taught by her roommates was wrong.
D.Her English language skills were below her expectations.
26.What does Paragraph 3 tell us about Dutch college students？（　　）
A.They don’t socialise very often on campus.
B.They prefer to live in the student apartments.
C.They like participating in activities organised by societies.
D.They don’t have to leave the main campus unless they want to.
27.What was expressed in Eimear McCarthy’s words？（　　）
A.Fear. B.Disappointment.
C.Confusion. D.Envy.
C
　　Exams are disturbing， especially for those already of an anxious character.The silence of the hall； the watchful eye of the monitor； the smug （自命不凡的） expression of the person who has finished 15 minutes early.It， therefore， seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do worse than those who do not.Scientist Maria Theobald theorised that if this were true， then those with high levels of anxiety would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock exam （模擬考試） or during online practice sessions.
　　So she worked with 309 students who were preparing for their final exam.During the 100 days before the exam， all her volunteers used a digital-learning platform which presented them with old exam questions and logged their performance.They also sat a mock exam 40 days before the real thing.To assess their levels of anxiety， they were asked， every day for 40 days in the run-up to the real exam and also on the day of that exam， to respond on a five-point scale （五分制） to statements like， “I feel nervous.”
　　What Dr Theobald found was not what she expected.Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all.What did predict it was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the earlier digital-learning activities.Those who performed well in these also did well in the real thing， regardless of how anxious they were on the day.What actually restricted students was anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place.The greater a student’s anxiety in those days， the lower his or her knowledge gain was， leaving that student with less material to reproduce during the exam.
　　Dr Theobald notes that test anxiety is at its worst when students have low expectations of success and meanwhile know that passing the exam is extremely important.To reduce this anxiety， she proposes a twofold strategy for students as they revise.First， they can raise their belief in their abilities by reminding themselves of how much they know.Second， they can reduce the significance of the test by reminding themselves that， while it is important， it is not a life-or-death situation.
28.Why did Dr Theobald conduct the research？（　　）
A.To prove general ideas about anxiety wrong.
B.To find ways to reduce students’ exam anxiety.
C.To find out what really contributes to students’ anxiety.
D.To see if pressure in the exam hall influences exam results.
29.What did participants do during Dr Theobald’s research？（　　）
A.They took part in 40 mock exams.　　　　　 B.They reported their learning activities.
C.They had their psychological state assessed. D.They used a learning tool to reduce their anxiety.
30.What did Dr Theobald’s research find？（　　）
A.Pressure drives students to study hard.
B.Students feel more pressure during real exams.
C.Anxiety on the exam day makes students perform poorly.
D.Students’ performance in mock exams can predict real exam results.
31.What is a way to reduce pre-test anxiety according to Dr Theobald？（　　）
A.Being more confident in themselves. B.Having lower expectations of themselves.
C.Treating exams as something unimportant. D.Taking more mock exams before the real one.
D
　　With energy prices on the rise， people up and down the country are looking for ways to keep their usage as low as possible， and in many cases changing how they carry out everyday tasks.This of course includes washing up， with a number of us keen to cut back on how much hot water we use.
　　With this in mind， economical shoppers have applauded a new washing-up liquid formula （配方） released by Fairy， which allows you to wash your dirty dishes in cold water.The label reads，“New.Brilliant in cold.Save energy”， and some believe it could save them ￡100 a year in heating bills.
　　Shoppers can buy the new version of Fairy’s cold water washing-up liquid in Wilko stores， with prices starting at ￡2.50.Some shoppers weren’t too sure about washing their plates in cold water， which they feared wouldn’t be too comfortable， while others felt saddened that such measures were needed in the first place.A number of customers however were keen to give it a try.
　　“I have two young babies， so I often forget to wash up leaving the water to go cold，” commented Jane Evans， a 35-year-old housewife.
　　Fairy isn’t only making changes in the formula， it has also had the biggest design change in its 62-year history with the bottle turned “upside down” for the first time.The launch of the new upside-down bottle comes as research reveals the average Briton spends a total of 60 hours a year washing up 7，300 items.The efficiently redesigned bottle means it’s much easier to get the last drop of washing-up liquid out of the bottle， while its anti-leak technology means messy caps are a thing of the past.
　　“By combining a highly effective new formula with useful packaging improvements， we want to make life easier for consumers by creating superior and innovative products，” a Fairy spokesperson said.
32.What attracts customers concerning Fairy’s new washing-up liquid？（　　）
A.It helps save money. B.Its formula is eco-friendly.
C.It smells good. D.It is highly effective for dirty dishes.
33.What is Jane Evans’ attitude to Fairy’s new product？（　　）
A.Critical. B.Uninterested.
C.Mixed. D.Approving.
34.Why did Fairy redesign the bottle？（　　）
A.To make it stand out among many similar products.
B.To help make full use of the washing-up liquid.
C.To cut down on the cost of its material.
D.To keep it tidy with a smaller cap.
35.What is the main idea of the text？（　　）
A.A new product keeps a kitchen clean. B.Fairy undergoes significant changes.
C.People find ways to deal with high energy prices. D.Fairy’s new product is available in stores.

　　I remember how intently my parents read reports about the war， which I rarely understood.They often whispered to one another， and I’d shout out something like， “Speak up！ I can’t hear you！” They’d frown （皺眉） and leave me alone to talk in private.
　　One night， they came into the living room and turned off the radio.At first I was angry， but they had serious expressions on their faces.“The military will be looking for new recruits （新兵）.I know something about boats and ship engines， so I intend to join the army，” Dad said.
　　My face grew hot， but my hands felt cold.“You can’t just leave，” I shouted and stormed off to my bedroom.Looking back on that now， I feel ashamed of how selfishly I had acted.

Dear Teddy，
　　Having a noisy neighbour is a really common problem， especially for people who live in an apartment.
　　Like you， I also had a noise problem with a neighbour.He’d watch loud movies every night， sometimes until 3 in the morning.One night， I decided I’d had enough of the noise， so I went to my neighbour’s apartment and we argued.However， that only made him turn his TV up even louder every night after that.
　　A week or so later， I saw my neighbour outside.Even though we’d lived next to each other for a long time， the first time we’d spoken was when we had our argument.
　　So， I chatted with him and got to know him better—I also made a joke about how I liked his taste in movies.
　　That night， the noise problem stopped.It seemed that all I had to do was get my neighbour to see me as a friend， not an enemy.
　　So， my advice to you is to be calm and patient with your neighbour.
　　One day， go over and ask if you can come in for a talk.If you mention that their noise is affecting your studies， they should soon change their mind.
　　At the same time， however， not everyone is comfortable with facing people this way.If you’re one of those people， write a polite and friendly letter instead， explaining your problem to your neighbour.
　　Many people we know can make us angry， but usually， the best way to win someone over is through kindness.

21.B　22.C　23.D　
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者出國留學時經歷的文化沖擊。
24.C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，作者沒想到蘇格蘭的學生生活與荷蘭的學生生活如此不同。且畫線部分后一句說明作者經歷了輕微的文化沖擊。由此可推知，在來到斯特靈大學后，有一些小事讓作者“感到驚訝”。
25.D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，大一的時候，作者很快便發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的英語并不像自己想象的那么好。由此可知，她的英語語言能力比自己預期的要差。
26.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的in the Netherlands ...or town where they live可知，荷蘭的多數(shù)大學都沒有主校區(qū)，學生不能在同一個地方上課、居住和運動，而且學生社團也較少，學生只能在自己居住的社區(qū)或城鎮(zhèn)參加活動。由此可推知，荷蘭大學生的校內社交活動并不頻繁。
27.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知，Eimear McCarthy說：“英國不賣Meanies，這一點真的太糟糕了。Meanies對我太重要了。”由此可推知，Eimear McCarthy的話語中充滿了失望。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。研究表明考場上帶來的壓力不會影響學生的考試成績，反而是考試準備階段的緊張心理會影響考試結果。
28.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的Scientist Maria Theobald theorised that if this were true ...可知，Maria Theobald做研究是為了了解考試當天焦慮是否會影響考試成績。
29.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知，參與研究的學生們需要接受心理狀態(tài)方面的評估。
30.D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句可知，通過學生在模擬考試中的表現(xiàn)可以預測他們在正式考試中的表現(xiàn)。
31.A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的First， they can raise their belief in their abilities by reminding themselves of how much they know.可知，Dr Theobald認為對自己有信心可以減輕考前焦慮。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。隨著能源價格的上漲，人們都在尋找盡可能降低能源使用量的方法，于是一家公司推出了新的洗潔精配方。
32.A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的some believe it could save them ￡100 a year in heating bills可知，新的洗潔精配方受歡迎的原因是有助于省錢。
33.D　觀點態(tài)度題。Jane Evans在第四段中提到I often forget to wash up leaving the water to go cold，再結合第二段中的which allows you to wash your dirty dishes in cold water可知，這種洗潔精配方可以在冷水中使用，因此Jane Evans應該很贊成。
34.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知，F(xiàn)airy重新包裝瓶子是為了方便人們最大限度地使用瓶內殘余的洗潔精。
35.B　主旨大意題。文章前四段主要講述Fairy推出了新的洗潔精配方，最后兩段介紹其在瓶子設計上的改變。由此可知，文章主要介紹了Fairy進行的兩項重要改變。
36.E　37.D　38.F　39.G　40.A　
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。醫(yī)生檢查病人的傷口時不戴手套，護士們對其不當行為進行了糾正。
41.C　根據(jù)上文的I was a new chief nurse leader in a busy hospital.可知，作者是和一群骨干護士一起工作。
42.B　根據(jù)下文對Mary對醫(yī)生不戴手套檢查病人的傷口提出異議的描述可知，這些骨干護士既善良又鐵石心腸。tough as nails 鐵石心腸，不為所動。
43.B　根據(jù)上文的Mary， came storming into my office和下文的Calming her down可知，Mary對Dr H.不戴手套檢查病人傷口一事非常生氣。
44.A　根據(jù)下文的he said that she should not interfere with （干涉） his judgment可知，Dr H.很難相處。
45.A　當Mary指出Dr H.不戴手套的錯誤時，他讓她不要干涉。
46.D　根據(jù)下文作者和Mary對Dr H.的行為進行當面質疑的描述可知，他的行為是不能被接受的。
47.A　根據(jù)下文When asked why he had not taken the usual precautions （防范措施）， Dr H.declared ...可知，Mary贊成作者的提議。
48.D　根據(jù)下文insisting that this technique was described in the literature 可知，Dr H.進一步為自己的行為辯護，他說那種操作方式是有文獻依據(jù)的。
49.A　此處指作者讓Dr H.把文獻展示一下。
50.D　作者讓Dr H.給他們展示那個參考文獻，他答應后就匆匆離開了，當然，他們從來沒有見過那個所謂的參考文獻。
51.A　參見上題解析。
52.B　根據(jù)下文的After that， Dr H.learnt that ...可知，作者他們把那個醫(yī)療事件匯報給了上級，Dr H.被要求以后檢查病人時戴手套。

第二節(jié)
　　This morning， Aunt Lucia could tell I was feeling down and she asked me to help her decorate cupcakes.At first I was not interested.Then I realized that I could make red stripes out of strawberries and blue stripes from blueberries.Soon I had a dozen cupcakes decorated beautifully to show Aunt Lucia.She was also impressed by my work.For the first time in weeks， I felt like I’d done something right.I thought of all the money we might make at the sale， and how it might buy supplies for my father.
　　Dad was excited that he could do something for our army on the day he left.He told me to be brave because I was a soldier’s daughter.I nodded and secretly put a little poem into his coat pocket.“Here’s a little rhyme to pass the day，” it said.“I love e back soon！” I wish I could send some cupcakes to my dad.Instead of real cupcakes， I’ll draw a picture in which cupcakes are piled high and send it to Dad with a letter.That way， Dad will have plenty to share with many other soldiers.

Dear Teddy，
　　Having a noisy neighbour is a really common problem， especially
for people who live in an apartment.
　　Like you， I also had a noise problem with a neighbour.He’d watch
loud movies every night， sometimes until 3 in the morning.One night， I
decided I’d had enough of the noise， so I went to my neighbour’s
apartment and we argued.However， that only made him turn his TV up
even louder every night after that.
　　A week or so later， I saw my neighbour outside.Even though we’d
lived next to each other for a long time， the first time we’d spoken was
when we had our argument.
　　So， I chatted with him and got to know him better—I also made a
joke about how I liked his taste in movies.
　　That night， the noise problem stopped.It seemed that all I had to do
was get my neighbour to see me as a friend， not an enemy.
　　So， my advice to you is to be calm and patient with your neighbour.
　　One day， go over and ask if you can come in for a talk.If you
mention that their noise is affecting your studies， they should soon
change their mind.
　　At the same time， however， not everyone is comfortable with
facing people this way.If you’re one of those people， write a polite and
friendly letter instead， explaining your problem to your neighbour.
　　Many people we know can make us angry， but usually， the best
way to win someone over is through kindness.

　　For any student， moving away from home can be daunting （使人
氣餒的）.But I didn’t expect student life in Scotland to be all that
different from my home in the Netherlands.After all， we get the same
news and TV shows online.However， when I moved from Amsterdam to
study at the University of Stirling， I began to realise that a few small
things caught me off balance.I was suffering a minor culture shock.
　　In my freshman year， I quickly found out my English was not as
good as I’d assumed.Most of my flatmates were born and raised in
Scotland， and I constantly found myself having to ask them to repeat
themselves.Their Scottish accents didn’t help and I was mispronouncing
names and places all the time.
　　Then I had to adjust to a new social life.I was surprised by the
campus culture in the UK — in the Netherlands， most universities don’t
have one main campus where you can attend university， as well as live
and exercise all in the same place.Also， Dutch universities typically offer
fewer societies， so students take part in activities in the community or
town where they live.But here， you never have to leave campus if you
don’t want to.I had to get used to everyone being so close to each other
all the time.
　　But I’ve found lots of pleasant surprises in the UK too — and so
have many other international students I know.Eimear McCarthy，
studying sport psychology in Stirling， and originally from Ireland， said
she was taken aback by how smartly male students dress in Stirling
compared to her friends at home.However， on the downside， she found
that Scottish shops don’t sell her favourite Irish corn snack.“The UK
doesn’t have Meanies， which is just horrible，” she told
me.“Meanies are my life.”
　　Culture shock can knock your confidence in the beginning.But
you’re not alone in taking time to adapt， and soon you start to get used
to all the differences.Looking back， most of the shocks I experienced
made good stories to tell my friends.

文化沖擊。
24. Which of the following best explains “caught me off balance”
underlined in Paragraph 1？（　　）
A. Taught me a lesson. B. Made me different.
C. Surprised me. D. Frightened me.
解析：　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知，作者沒想到蘇
格蘭的學生生活與荷蘭的學生生活如此不同。且畫線部分后一句
說明作者經歷了輕微的文化沖擊。由此可推知，在來到斯特靈大
學后，有一些小事讓作者“感到驚訝”。
25. What did the author realise in her first year in the UK？（　　）
A. Asking questions repeatedly was an annoying habit.
B. It was easy for non-locals to pick up a Scottish accent.
C. The pronunciation taught by her roommates was wrong.
D. Her English language skills were below her expectations.
解析：　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，大一的時候，
作者很快便發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的英語并不像自己想象的那么好。由此可
知，她的英語語言能力比自己預期的要差。

A. They don’t socialise very often on campus.
B. They prefer to live in the student apartments.
C. They like participating in activities organised by societies.
D. They don’t have to leave the main campus unless they want to.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的in the Netherlands ...or
town where they live可知，荷蘭的多數(shù)大學都沒有主校區(qū)，學生不
能在同一個地方上課、居住和運動，而且學生社團也較少，學生
只能在自己居住的社區(qū)或城鎮(zhèn)參加活動。由此可推知，荷蘭大學
生的校內社交活動并不頻繁。
27. What was expressed in Eimear McCarthy’s words？（　　）
A. Fear. B. Disappointment.
C. Confusion. D. Envy.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知，Eimear

Meanies對我太重要了。”由此可推知，Eimear McCarthy的話語
中充滿了失望。
C
　　Exams are disturbing， especially for those already of an anxious
character.The silence of the hall； the watchful eye of the monitor； the
smug （自命不凡的） expression of the person who has finished 15
minutes early.It， therefore， seems hardly surprising that those who
worry about taking tests do worse than those who do not.Scientist Maria
Theobald theorised that if this were true， then those with high levels of
anxiety would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock exam （模擬
考試） or during online practice sessions.
　　So she worked with 309 students who were preparing for their final
exam.During the 100 days before the exam， all her volunteers used a
digital-learning platform which presented them with old exam questions
and logged their performance.They also sat a mock exam 40 days before
the real thing.To assess their levels of anxiety， they were asked， every
day for 40 days in the run-up to the real exam and also on the day of that
exam， to respond on a five-point scale （五分制） to statements like，
“I feel nervous.”
　　What Dr Theobald found was not what she expected.Anxiety on the
day of the test did not predict exam performance at all.What did predict it
was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam and the
earlier digital-learning activities.Those who performed well in these also
did well in the real thing， regardless of how anxious they were on the
day.What actually restricted students was anxiety during the weeks before
the exam took place.The greater a student’s anxiety in those days， the
lower his or her knowledge gain was， leaving that student with less
material to reproduce during the exam.
　　Dr Theobald notes that test anxiety is at its worst when students have
low expectations of success and meanwhile know that passing the exam is
extremely important.To reduce this anxiety， she proposes a twofold
strategy for students as they revise.First， they can raise their belief in
their abilities by reminding themselves of how much they know.Second，
they can reduce the significance of the test by reminding themselves that，
while it is important， it is not a life-or-death situation.

響學生的考試成績，反而是考試準備階段的緊張心理會影響考試結果。
28. Why did Dr Theobald conduct the research？（　　）
A. To prove general ideas about anxiety wrong.
B. To find ways to reduce students’ exam anxiety.
C. To find out what really contributes to students’ anxiety.
D. To see if pressure in the exam hall influences exam results.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的Scientist Maria Theobald
theorised that if this were true ...可知，Maria Theobald做研究是為
了了解考試當天焦慮是否會影響考試成績。
29. What did participants do during Dr Theobald’s research？（　　）
A. They took part in 40 mock exams.
B. They reported their learning activities.
C. They had their psychological state assessed.
D. They used a learning tool to reduce their anxiety.
解析：　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知，參與研究的
學生們需要接受心理狀態(tài)方面的評估。
30. What did Dr Theobald’s research find？（　　）
A. Pressure drives students to study hard.
B. Students feel more pressure during real exams.
C. Anxiety on the exam day makes students perform poorly.
D. Students’ performance in mock exams can predict real exam results.
解析：　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句可知，通過學生
在模擬考試中的表現(xiàn)可以預測他們在正式考試中的表現(xiàn)。
31. What is a way to reduce pre-test anxiety according to Dr Theobald？
（　　）
A. Being more confident in themselves.
B. Having lower expectations of themselves.
C. Treating exams as something unimportant.
D. Taking more mock exams before the real one.

raise their belief in their abilities by reminding themselves of
how much they know.可知，Dr Theobald認為對自己有信心可
以減輕考前焦慮。

　　With energy prices on the rise， people up and down the country are
looking for ways to keep their usage as low as possible， and in many
cases changing how they carry out everyday tasks.This of course includes
washing up， with a number of us keen to cut back on how much hot
water we use.
　　With this in mind， economical shoppers have applauded a new
washing-up liquid formula （配方） released by Fairy， which allows
you to wash your dirty dishes in cold water.The label reads，
“New.Brilliant in cold.Save energy”， and some believe it could save
them ￡100 a year in heating bills.
　　Shoppers can buy the new version of Fairy’s cold water washing-up
liquid in Wilko stores， with prices starting at ￡2.50.Some shoppers
weren’t too sure about washing their plates in cold water， which they
feared wouldn’t be too comfortable， while others felt saddened that
such measures were needed in the first place.A number of customers
however were keen to give it a try.
　　“I have two young babies， so I often forget to wash up leaving the
water to go cold，” commented Jane Evans， a 35-year-old housewife.
　　Fairy isn’t only making changes in the formula， it has also had the
biggest design change in its 62-year history with the bottle turned “upside
down” for the first time.The launch of the new upside-down bottle comes
as research reveals the average Briton spends a total of 60 hours a year
washing up 7，300 items.The efficiently redesigned bottle means it’s
much easier to get the last drop of washing-up liquid out of the bottle，
while its anti-leak technology means messy caps are a thing of the past.
　　“By combining a highly effective new formula with useful
packaging improvements， we want to make life easier for consumers by
creating superior and innovative products，” a Fairy spokesperson said.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了克服溝通障礙的幾點建議。
36. E　上文說明了溝通是最重要的生活技能之一，溝通出現(xiàn)問題會
給生活帶來巨大的影響。下文介紹了一些能幫你有效傳達信息的建
議。E項（因此，克服阻礙有效溝通的因素是非常重要的）符合語
境，與上文構成因果關系。
37. D　通讀設空處下面一段可知，你應該考慮一下自己將要說的
話，帶著明確的溝通目標和準確的想法開始對話。如果你在對話之前
便已確切地知道你要傳達什么想法，那么對方便能很好地理解你。因
此，D項（在溝通前先把你自己的想法整理清楚）概括了本段主旨，
適合作小標題。
38. F　上文提出：請確保你在溝通時使用了恰當?shù)闹w語言，并進行
了舉例說明。F項（當你使用錯誤的肢體語言時，你的信息很容易被
誤解）符合語境，F(xiàn)項中的body language與小標題中的body language和
上文中的body language構成原詞復現(xiàn)。
39. G　設空處所在段落給出的建議是積極聆聽。G項（為了實現(xiàn)有效
溝通，你必須一直用心傾聽對方的話）符合語境，G項中的listen to
the other person attentively與小標題Be an active listener.相呼應。
40. A　設空處前一句說明了不要粗魯?shù)卣務撍说奈幕⒆诮袒蛐?br/>仰。設空處后一句指出他們會因此對談話失去興趣，且根據(jù)As a result
可知，設空處和后一句構成因果關系，故A項（它可能會影響你的聆
聽者的情緒）符合語境，A項中的It指代設空處前一句提及的情況，
設空處后一句中的they指代A項中的your listeners。

第二節(jié)（滿分25分）
　　閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　My father is a mechanic on a battleship.I’m trapped in my Aunt
Lucia’s bakery downtown.Mom works double shifts at the clothing
factory.She makes uniforms， mostly sewing pockets on jackets.I asked
her once if she put things into the pockets for our soldiers to find， like
poems.She said soldiers wore jackets with pockets to hold tools they might
need for war and survival， not silly things like poetry.It seems no one
appreciates my creative contributions to the war effort， but Aunt Lucia
says my help to her is important， since both her workers joined the army.
　　Every day， Aunt Lucia and I get up before dawn to make the dough
（生面團）.Next， we bake bread and cakes.Then， while I help
customers， Lucia makes cupcakes and cookies for sale in the
afternoon.Whenever the phone rings， she races from the back room to
answer the call.She’s always worried that it might be bad news， so she
wants to be the first to hear it.After dinner， Aunt Lucia invites
neighbours over to listen to the radio.I always listen closely for any news
about the war.
　　I remember how intently my parents read reports about the war，
which I rarely understood.They often whispered to one another， and I’d
shout out something like， “Speak up！ I can’t hear you！” They’d
frown （皺眉） and leave me alone to talk in private.
　　One night， they came into the living room and turned off the
radio.At first I was angry， but they had serious expressions on their
faces.“The military will be looking for new recruits （新兵）.I know
something about boats and ship engines， so I intend to join the army，”
Dad said.
　　My face grew hot， but my hands felt cold.“You can’t just
leave，” I shouted and stormed off to my bedroom.Looking back on that
now， I feel ashamed of how selfishly I had acted.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
This morning， Aunt Lucia could tell I was feeling down and she
asked me to help her decorate cupcakes. 　
Dad was excited that he could do something for our army on the
day he left. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
　　This morning， Aunt Lucia could tell I was feeling down and she
asked me to help her decorate cupcakes.At first I was not interested.Then
I realized that I could make red stripes out of strawberries and blue stripes
from blueberries.Soon I had a dozen cupcakes decorated beautifully to
show Aunt Lucia.She was also impressed by my work.For the first time in
weeks， I felt like I’d done something right.I thought of all the money
we might make at the sale， and how it might buy supplies for my father.
　　Dad was excited that he could do something for our army on the day
he left.He told me to be brave because I was a soldier’s daughter.I
nodded and secretly put a little poem into his coat pocket.“Here’s a
little rhyme to pass the day，” it said.“I love e back soon！”
I wish I could send some cupcakes to my dad.Instead of real cupcakes，
I’ll draw a picture in which cupcakes are piled high and send it to Dad
with a letter.That way， Dad will have plenty to share with many other
soldiers.
謝謝觀看！
