26、 As a child grows up, you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult.
【1】 A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others in kind, but also learns to respect himself.
Show him respect.
This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.
【2】
The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
Agree to disagree.
【3】 Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn’t necessarily mean rudeness.
Control your anger.
When a situation arises, stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 【4】
Praise, praise, praise!
So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his achievements are not celebrated enough. 【5】
A.Teach manners by using polite requests and responses．
B.Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.
C.Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you.
D.A child may act as he pleases, and he will live a happy life.
E.Respectful behavior always comes with bad behavior as a child.
F.If he sees your anger beyond control, he is more likely to respond that way in future.
G.Seeing a child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows how proud you are of him.
27、 If practicing an attitude of gratitude during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They’re so caught up in what’s wrong in the present moment that they simply can’t see some things are still right.
If that’s true for you, then accept it. You’re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and you don’t like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember this: there is always something to be grateful for. It maybe only a small comfort right now, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn’t happen. For example:
●You’re in debt...but you’re not homeless.
●You lost your job...but you didn’t lose your health.
●You broke your leg...but you didn’t break your neck.
●Your mother has Alzheimer’s disease...but your father doesn’t.
No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn’t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything — but you can always be thankful for something.
【1】The passage is intended for those who ________.
A.have done a lot for others B.don’t know how to be thankful
C.have something to do in return D.have met with difficulties in life
【2】The writer thinks it ________ for people to feel unhappy in time of difficulty.
A.impossible B.necessary
C.understandable D.helpful
【3】How many “terrible things that didn’t happen” are listed in this passage?
A.Two. B.Four.
C.Three. D.Five.
【4】How is the passage organized?
A.Explanation—Comparison—Topic B.Introduction—Discussion—Conclusion
C.Comparison—Argument—Explanation D.Argument—Opinion—Discussion
28、 Robert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except what makes life worthwhile.” With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.
The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a mistaken concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western world, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?
A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being throws some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more all-round assessment of how countries are performing.
While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of common themes. Yes, there has been an economic recovery since the 2008 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and environment.
This is a lesson that rich countries can learn: When GDP is no longer regarded as the only measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.
So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough. It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes — all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.
【1】Robert F.Kennedy is cited（引用）because he _______.
A.praised the UK for its GDP. B.identified GDP with happiness.
C.misinterpreted the role of GDP. D.had a low opinion of GDP.
【2】Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?
A.Its results are inspiring. B.It is sponsored by 163 countries.
C.Its criteria are questionable. D.It removes GDP as an indicator.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards GDP as the most common measure of a country’s success?
A.Favorable. B.Indifferent.
C.Critical. D.Defensive.
29、Dear Teenage Self,
Oh, how I wish you could see what I see now. I’m older, and life has made me wiser. Nothing is the way I thought it would be. It’s so much better.
When I look back, I see you as one person but I know there were two of you: one that the world saw and the private one that only you knew. I remember the nights and days filled with worry, sadness, and confusion. I remember being both of you. I remember the smile I would show to my friends and then I remember the tears no one knew that I cried behind my closed bedroom door.
Oh, how I wish I knew that everything would be okay someday. But, I probably wouldn’t have believed it at the time.
Oh, how I remember those teenage years as the most painful years of my life. Living under a microscope. Everything was magnified (放大). I know it’s hard to believe, but your teenage feelings, friendships, family, and appearance are way out of proportion (比例). You think that whatever happens will stay that way forever. Nothing is farther from the truth.
Steve Carrell said it best in Little Miss Sunshine after Paul Dano told him that he just wants to go to sleep and wake up when he’s 18. Steve Carrell answered, “What? High school — those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.” “Do you know Marcel Proust? He had a painful life. He gets to the end of his life and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, those were the best years of his life because they made him who he was. All those years when he was happy, you know ... a total waste. He didn’t learn a thing. Sleep until you’re 18? Think of the suffering you’ll miss.”
It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Your teenage years were the best suffering of your life. Those painful breakups, lonely nights, and tears cried are the times that make you stronger, smarter and sculpt (塑造) you to become the rock-solid adult that you will become.
【1】Who might be the writer of the letter?
A.Paul Dano. B.Marcel Proust. C.An adult. D.A teenager.
【2】By “Nothing is farther from the truth”, the writer means that ________.
A.nothing stays the same B.teenage feelings are easy to hurt
C.everything remains unchanged D.teenage years are hard to tolerate
【3】What can we infer from Steve Carrell’s words?
A.Adolescence is disappointing. B.Adolescence promotes personal growth.
C.Blaming others is meaningless. D.Sleeping late benefits teenagers’ health.
【4】Which of the following sayings best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A.It is never too late to learn. B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.There is a rainbow after every storm.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
