　　A

　　(2024重慶一診)

　　Just a couple of hours ago,I was on the plane,ready to fly home from London.The flight had been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off.I had my iPod in place and a new book to read.Then,over the loudspeaker came the pilot’s voice,“The ground crew has found a metal instrument in one tire.We regret that we must cancel this flight.”

　　The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting.One man close to me began to argue with a flight attendant.A couple in another row complained loudly.A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him.Yet some passengers responded differently.An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the overhead compartments.A teenager,rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers,stopped to help a woman with a disability.The lady sitting next to me laughed and said,“Hey,it’s not the end of the world,”before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them.The wisest among us have a remarkable ability to maintain grounded when times get tough.

　　No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t.We all must face challenges,both large and small.You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances.We always have the choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.

　　That’s grace under pressure.My seatmate was right—things could have been so much worse.Anyway,I am safe.I have my health.I have two wonderful children.I have work I love and so much to be grateful for.Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.

　　【語篇導讀】本文是記敘文,講述了因為航班取消不同乘客的不同反應。

　　1.What caused the passengers’ different reactions?

　　A.The loudspeaker. B.The delay of the flight.

　　C.The ground crew’s fault. D.The pilot’s announcement.

　　答案:D

　　解析:細節理解題。根據第二段的第一句“The passengers’ reactions that announcement led to were interesting.”可知,取消航班的通知使人們有不同的反應。

　　2.Who turned his anger on the seat?

　　A.The teenager helping the disabled.

　　B.The old man taking bags down.

　　C.The man in a dark suit.

　　D.The man close to the author.

　　答案:C

　　解析:細節理解題。根據第二段的第四句“A businessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him.”可知,把怒氣發泄在座位上的是那個穿黑色套裝的人。

　　3.What did the woman sitting next to the author do?

　　A.She assisted a disabled woman.

　　B.She made a phone call to her family.

　　C.She helped others carry their luggage.

　　D.She told moving stories to her children.

　　答案:B

　　解析:細節理解題。根據第二段的倒數第二句“The lady sitting next to me laughed and said,‘Hey,it’s not the end of the world,’ before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them.”可知,答案為B項。

　　4.What can we learn from the story?

　　A.Our life is full of ups and downs.

　　B.It is natural to be scared under pressure.

　　C.We should help each other in times of difficulty.

　　D.We should be positive and calm when life is hard.

　　答案:D

　　解析:主旨大意題。根據全文大意及最后兩段的內容可知,作者寫本文的目的是告訴我們:當生活艱苦時,我們應該樂觀、冷靜。

　　B

　　Psychologist Joseph P.Allen says almost all parents and teenagers argue.But it’s the quality of the arguments that makes all the difference.

　　“We tell parents to think of those arguments as a critical training ground,”he says.Such arguments,he says,are actually mini life lessons in how to disagree—a necessary skill later on in life with partners,friends and colleagues.

　　Teens should be rewarded when arguing calmly and persuasively and not when they are yelling,crying or threatening,he says.

　　In Allen’s study,157 13-year-olds were videotaped describing their biggest disagreement with their parents.Allen interviewed the teens again at ages 15 and 16.“The teens who learned to be calm and confident and persuasive with their parents acted the same way when they were with their peers(同齡人),”he says.They were able to confidently disagree,saying “no” when offered alcohol or drugs.In fact,they were 40 percent more likely to say “no” than kids who didn’t argue with their parents.

　　For other kids,it was an entirely different story.“They would back down right away,”says Allen,saying they felt it pointless to argue with their parents.This kind of passivity was taken directly into peer groups,where these teens were more likely to acquiesce(勉強同意) when offered drugs or alcohol.“These were the teens we worried about,”he says.?

　　So,the best thing parents can do is help their teenager argue more effectively.For this,Allen offers one word:listen.

　　In the study,when parents listened to their kids,their kids listened back.They didn’t necessarily always agree,he says.But if one or the other made a good point,they would acknowledge that point.“They weren’t just trying to fight each other at every step and wear each other down.They were really trying to persuade the other person.”

　　Acceptable argument might go something like this:“How about I prove to you I can handle it for three weeks before we make a final decision about it?”

　　Again,parents won’t necessarily agree.But “they’ll get across the message that they take their kids’ point of view seriously and honestly consider what they have to say,”Allen says.

　　【語篇導讀】本文是議論文。研究表明和家長理性地爭論有益于孩子們的成長。

　　5.According to Allen,teens should be encouraged to 　.?

　　A.earn more rewards

　　B.develop new practical skills

　　C.yell and cry when they want to

　　D.argue with their parents persuasively

　　答案:D

　　解析:細節理解題。由第二、三段可知,青少年應該被鼓勵和父母爭論。

　　6.What does the underlined part “back down” in Paragraph 5 mean?

　　A.To give up. B.To get angry.

　　C.To show off. D.To make threats.

　　答案:A

　　解析:詞義猜測題。上一段講和父母冷靜地爭論的孩子們會在必要時表達不同意見,對待問題有自己的獨立的看法。本段講另外一些截然不同的孩子,他們認為和父母爭論沒有意義,所以他們在和父母有不同意見時會立即認輸。這就導致他們無法形成獨立的見解,容易被誤導。故A項正確。

　　7.Whom was Allen worried about?

　　A.Teens who were addicted to drugs.

　　B.Teens who drank too much alcohol.

　　C.Teens who always argued with others.

　　D.Teens who didn’t say no when necessary.

　　答案:D

　　解析:推理判斷題。由第五段中的“they felt it pointless to argue with their parents.This kind of passivity was taken directly into peer groups...”可推斷,Allen擔心的是那些沒有自己獨立見解的青少年。

　　8.Allen advises parents to 　.?

　　A.try to agree with their kids

　　B.always try to persuade their kids

　　C.consider the feelings of their kids

　　D.communicate with their kids effectively

　　答案:D

　　解析:細節理解題。由最后四段可知,Allen建議家長認真聽孩子講話并認真答復他們,也就是說家長要和孩子有效地溝通。

　　Ⅱ.七選五

　　Shed(去掉) that sweet tooth

　　The World Health Organization (WHO) has set new dietary guidelines for people around the world.The guidelines advise people to cut back on their sugar intake to stay healthy.

　　The guidelines do not apply to the sugars in fresh fruits and vegetables or those that are naturally present in milk.According to the WHO,there is no reported evidence of negative effects of consuming those sugars.1.　 These include sugars that are added to processed foods and drinks such as cookies,candy,and soft drinks.?

　　2.　 The reason is they exist in foods we might not think of as sweets,such as honey and ketchup(番茄醬).Health experts advise consumers to look at ingredients on food packages to help make better-informed decisions.?

　　In the U.S.,adults currently get about 11 to 15% of their calories from added sugars.3.　 For adults in Hungary and Norway,it is about 7%.In Spain and the United Kingdom,sugar makes up as much as 17% of adults’ diets.?

　　Kieran Clarke,scientist of the University of Oxford,said,“4. Even if you are not eating lollies(棒棒糖) and candy,you are probably eating a fair amount of sugar.”

　　But Clarke also notes that for those people who can’t shake their love for sweets,getting more exercise is a good solution.She said,“5.　 But it’s very hard to avoid large amounts of sugar unless all you’re eating is fruits and vegetables.”?

　　A.Sweet treats can be hard to resist.

　　B.In Europe,sugar intake varies by country.

　　C.New health guidelines advise less sugar in our diets.

　　D.The trouble is,we really do like sugar in a lot of things.

　　E.If you get enough exercise,you can eat almost anything.

　　F.Added sugars are sometimes described as “hidden” sugars.

　　G.Instead,the new guidelines focus on “added” or “free” sugars.

　　答案與解析:

　　【語篇導讀】本文是說明文。世界衛生組織建議人們減少糖的攝入量。

　　1.G　解析:G項與下文的“These include sugars that are added to processed foods and drinks such as cookies,candy and soft drinks.”相呼應。

　　2.F　解析:下文的“The reason is they exist in foods we might not think of as sweets...”與F項構成因果關系。

　　3.B　解析:下文列舉了在歐洲不同國家糖攝入量的不同情況。故B項恰當。

　　4.D　解析:D項與下文的“Even if you are not eating lollies(棒棒糖) and candy,you are probably eating a fair amount of sugar.”相呼應,強調很多食物中都含糖。

　　5.E　解析:E項與上文的“getting more exercise is a good solution”相呼應,指出運動可以消耗掉糖。

　　Ⅲ.短文改錯
