Then my family discouraged me from taking up writing as a career because they considered my writing poor. By using Avi, I was showing my determination to them.”Although he believesand has the awards to showthat his writing skills have improved, writing still doesnt come easily to him, despite having over sixty books to his credit. “I never studied writing in any formal sense. I taught myself to write by reading, and by imitating what I was reading,” he says.The writing task may be tough, but the payoff is big. “To create, share, and support the gift of reading and literature, is to give young people the gift of many worlds, within and without,” Avi states.4. What do the readers mentioned by Avi have in common?A. They often seek help from him.B. They can find themselves in his books.C. They have been influenced by his works.D. They have offered helpful suggestions to him.5. Whats the main reason why author Avi uses the name Avi?A. It was given to him by his parents.B. It is used in memory of his sisters.C. It encourages him to achieve his dream.D. It is the name of one of his favorite characters.6. What do we learn about Avi from the text?A. He is a self-made writer.B. He often sends his readers gifts.C. He considers writing an easy job.D. He is against copying other writers styles.7. What is the text mainly about?A. How Avi looks at his fans.B. Some important book awards.C. How Avi improves his writing skills.D. A popular writer among young readers.【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D【解析】本文为说明文。文章介绍了深受年轻人欢迎的作家艾维，他曾获得纽贝里奖、斯科特奥戴尔历史小说奖和几次波士顿环球之角图书奖，他的第一本童书可能是在1970年出版的，但这并不意味着他失去了与年轻粉丝交流的天赋。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的hes been fortunate enough to hear directly from readers about the impact (影响) his books have had.（他很幸运能直接从读者那里听到他的书所产生的影响）及引用的三个读者的故事可知，艾维提到的读者都受到他作品的影响。故C选项正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的Then my family discouraged me from taking up writing as a career because they considered my writing poor. By using Avi, I was showing my determination to them.（后来我的家人不鼓励我从事写作，因为他们认为我的写作很差。通过使用Avi，我向他们展示了我的决心）可推知，作家艾维使用这个名字是因为它鼓励他实现自己的梦想。故C选项正确。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的I never studied writing in any formal sense. I taught myself to write by reading, and by imitating what I was reading（我从未学习过任何形式的写作。我通过阅读和模仿我正在阅读的东西来自学写作）可推知，艾维是一位自学成才、白手起家的作家。故A选项正确。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了深受年轻人喜爱的作家艾维。故D选项正确。CYoung peoples mental health is of increasing interest and concern to researchers, policymakers, and families alikebut can treating teenagers mental health problems also improve the wellbeing of their parents? New research suggests that it can. The study, conducted by Kelsey Howard, a doctoral candidate at Northwestern University, found that regardless of which treatment teenagers were using for their depression, the mental health of their parents improved too.Older findings say that there is a link between mothers depression and major depression in their teenagers, although it seems not to be biological. However, the latest research suggests that the relationship between parents and their childrens mental health might work in the other direction too.While Howards research hasnt evidenced a clear reason for this trend, she told The Atlantic: “If the family members interact with (交往) each other well, the kid will be more pleasant to be around and make less negative statements, which will affect how other family members think.”Tom Madders, director of campaigns at YoungMinds, told HuffPost UK that for parents, watching their children go through mental health problems can be difficult, especially if they feel responsible. Madders also noted that parents often make big lifestyle changes, say, giving up their jobs, to support their children with depression, particularly in cases where their children have to leave school because of their mental health problems. However, Madders thought this can only make things worse. “Parents sacrifice adds pressure to the delicate shoulder owners,” he said.The process of waiting to get treatment can also be an added stressor: “Every day we get calls to our helpline from parents whose children have been waiting months for an initial assessment, or left on long waiting lists for treatment that they need thats why its important that the Government commits to long-term extra investment in childrens mental health services.”8. What has the latest research found?A. The problem of depression might be biological.B. Teens negative statements harm family relationships.C. The number of teens suffering depression is increasing.D. Teens depression may cause mental problems in their parents.9. According to Howard, how can parents help kids with depression be more positive?A. By building a pleasant family atmosphere.B. By praising them as much as possible.C. By teaching them to be responsible.D. By being soft with their homework.10. What does the underlined part “the delicate shoulder owners” refer to?A. Children.B. Parents.C. Teachers.D. Doctors.11. From which column of a newspaper is the text most probably taken?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Economy.D. Education.【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。年轻人的心理健康越来越受到研究人员、决策者和家庭的关注，新的研究发现治疗青少年的心理健康问题也能提高他们父母的幸福感。这项由西北大学博士研究生凯尔西霍华德(Kelsey Howard)主持的研究发现，无论青少年用哪种治疗方法来治疗抑郁症，他们父母的心理健康状况也有所改善。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的Older findings say that there is a link between mothers depression and major depression in their teenagers, although it seems not to be biological. However, the latest research suggests that the relationship between parents and their childrens mental health might work in the other direction too.（较早的研究结果表明，母亲的抑郁与青少年的严重抑郁之间存在联系，尽管这似乎不是生物学上的。然而，最新的研究表明，父母和孩子的心理健康之间的关系也可能朝着相反的方向发展）可推知，最新研究发现青少年的抑郁症可能会给他们的父母带来心理问题。故D选项正确。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的If the family members interact with (交往) each other well, the kid will be more pleasant to be around and make less negative statements, which will affect how other family members think.”（ 如果家庭成员之间的互动良好，孩子在身边会更快乐，也不会说太多负面的话，这会影响其他家庭成员的想法）可推知，父母可以通过营造一个愉快的家庭氛围来帮助患有抑郁症的孩子变得更加积极。故A选项正确。【10题详解】词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的parents often make big lifestyle changes, say, giving up their jobs, to support their children with depression, particularly in cases where their children have to leave school because of their mental health problems（父母通常会在生活方式上做出重大改变，比如放弃工作，以支持患有抑郁症的孩子，特别是在孩子因为心理健康问题不得不辍学的情况下）可推知，划线词句意为“父母的牺牲会给患有抑郁症的孩子们增加压力”。由此推知，划线词组指的是“孩子们”。故A选项正确。【11题详解】文章出处题。A. Entertainment娱乐；B. Health健康；C. Economy经济；D. Education教育。通读全文可知，本文介绍的是关于青少年心理健康与父母精神状况之间的关系的研究发现，应该出自报纸的健康专栏。故B选项正确。【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义：运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。在第3小题中，考生可以根据该划线词所在的上文语境来推测其指代对象。根据上文parents often make big lifestyle changes, say, giving up their jobs, to support their children with depression, particularly in cases where their children have to leave school because of their mental health problems（父母通常会在生活方式上做出重大改变，比如放弃工作，以支持患有抑郁症的孩子，特别是在孩子因为心理健康问题不得不辍学的情况下）可推知，划线词句意为“父母的牺牲会给患有抑郁症的孩子们增加压力”。由此推知，划线词组指的是“孩子们”。故A选项正确。DHave you ever wished you could grow fresh fruit in your garden but worry about there not being enough space, or it wont look pretty, or its too difficult?What if I was to tell you that even a beginner can successfully grow a wide variety of fruit from apples and pears to cherries, blueberries and raspberries, and possibly even figs or nectarines?The first thing you need to know: the sweeter the fruit, the more sun it will require. If you have a sunny wall its an ideal place to train a sun-loving fruit tree like a peach or an apricot. Plant the tree at the base of the wall but not too close (about 30cm is about right) in soil enriched with fertilizer (肥料). As it grows, splay (整枝) the branches evenly and attach them to the wall. As the plant grows gradually cut out old untidy branches and tie in new healthy branches. The idea of splaying or “fanning” is that as much sun as possible gets to the fruit, so it can ripen beautifully and maximize your crop.Choose a variety that wont grow too large. In slightly shadier spots you can grow gooseberries or raspberries. Most of these come in compact (紧凑的) varieties and can also be fan-trained against a wall if space is an issue.I have a tiny orchard (果园) of space-saving apple, pear and plum trees bought as single vertical stems (茎) which I grow in pots. They grow to a maximum of 2m high and no wider than 45cm. My children love them! Simply cut back the side stems to about 10cm at this time of year and youre good to go. Just remember that pot-grown plants rely totally on you for their food and water.As a gardener I was quite late to fruit-growing, but I realized quickly that it becomes an addictive hobby. And as a complete bonus Ive noticed a definite increase in my bee population over the past few years. Theres free food, and its good for the environment too. What could be better?12. How does the author attract readers attention to the topic?A. By making comparisons.B. By raising some questions.C. By listing some general rules.D. By telling interesting stories.13. What should you do to make your peach tree bear sweet fruit?A. Do the splaying regularly.B. Use fertilizer frequently.C. Choose some compact varieties.D. Plant the tree far from your wall.14. What do we know about gooseberries and raspberries?A. They are sun-lovers.B. They are space savers.C. They can grow very large.D. They may die from splaying.15. How are pot-grown fruit trees different from field-grown ones?A. They bear more fruits.B. They are more dependent.C. They need more water and food.D. They are more popular with kids.【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. B【解析】本文为说明文。你是否曾希望自己的花园里能种上新鲜的水果，但又担心没有足够的空间，或者看起来不漂亮，或者太难种植？如果我告诉你，即使是初学者也能成功地种植各种各样的水果，从苹果、梨到樱桃、蓝莓和覆盆子，甚至可能是无花果或油桃，你会怎么想?作者就此话题，给出了几点建议。【12题详解】细节理解题。作者通过第一、二段提出的问题导入了要说明的话题，所以，作者是通过问题引起读者注意的，故B选项正确。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的the sweeter the fruit, the more sun it will require. .As the plant grows gradually cut out old untidy branches and tie in new healthy branches. The idea of splaying or “fanning” is that as much sun as possible gets to the fruit（水果越甜，需要的阳光就越多随着植物的逐渐生长，剪掉旧的不整洁的枝条，扎入新的健康的树枝中。展开或“扇风”的想法是，尽可能多的阳光照射到水果上）可知，经常给桃树展开式修剪嫁接，能使你的桃树结出甜美的果实。故A选项正确。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的In slightly shadier spots you can grow gooseberries or raspberries. Most of these come in compact (紧凑的) varieties and can also be fan-trained against a wall if space is an issue.（在稍微阴暗的地方，你可以种醋栗或覆盆子。其中大多数都是紧凑的品种，如果空间是一个问题，也可以靠墙进行展开枝叶）可推知，醋栗或覆盆子能节省空间。故B选项正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Just remember that pot-grown plants rely totally on you for their food and water.（只要记住盆栽植物的食物和水完全依赖于你）及常识可知，盆栽植物比土地上栽培的植物更依赖别人。故B选项正确。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Did you make financial decisions last New Years Eve? Did they fall by the wayside? If so, you are not alone. _16_.Make a smart budgetDid you plan to make a budget and fail to do so? This is a perfect time to start, as you are heading into the new year. You may be able to stop yourself from overspending if you realize how overextended you are. If youve taken no other financial steps this year, start by setting a realistic budget. _17_.Control your spendingEven if you had a budget, were you able to stick to it? _18_. Use it as a psychological advantageyou have less to spend so you need to shop harder for bargains and research prices. Impulse buying (即兴购买) will be less likely to attract you and your spending should be more focused as a result._19_You had a savings goal, didnt you? If you didnt have a specific goal, it may be why your savings effort failed. Set a smaller savings goal now, and use that to build a larger savings goal for the upcoming year. Make sure that you equate（使等同）your savings with a specific goal.Reduce your debtDebt reduction is an important goal, especially in the case of high-interest debt such as credit cards. Its easy to get into an unrecoverable increase of debt if you have no plan to keep debt in check. It is a longer-term goal, but one you need to start right away. _20_. That may be a tall task, which is all the more reason to start immediately.A. Increase your savingsB. Have a clear goal for your debtC. You will go on with your new dec
