pleasedon'tpushhimtodosomethinghedoesn'twanttodo.”可以推断，作者建议人们对于辍学的人，要怜悯他们，要理解他们，不要逼他做他不想做的事。故选C项。【易错分析】简单解除D项Encouragethemtobefriendly.(激励他们对人友好)，文章未提及与此相关的内容；A项Pushthemtothelimit.(限制他们)，与文章最终一段中pleasedon'tpushhimtodosomethinghedoesn'twanttodo.的语义相反；因为文章里提到besympathetic，因此易错选B项Opentheirheartstothem.(向他们敞快乐扉)。依据pleasedon'tpushhimtodosomethinghedoesn'twanttodo…He'llcomearoundwhenhe'sready.(请不要逼他做他不想做的事……当他打算好了就会回头的。)可以推断，作者是建议人们要理解辍学的人。其次节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Animalscanprovidejoyandcompanionship(陪伴).Animalscanalsoprovideemotionalsupportforpeoplewithmentalhealthconcerns.Theseanimalcompanionsareknownasemotionalsupportanimals(ESAs),andtheyhavebeengrowinginpopularityinrecentyears.Anemotionalsupportanimalisananimalcompanionthatofferssometypeofbenefittoanindividualwithsomeformofdisability.Theanimalisintendedtoprovidecompanionshipandsupportthatwillhelprelieveatleastoneaspectofthedisability.___16___However,catsarequitecommonaswell.Othertypesofanimals,suchasminihorsesandducks,canalsoserveasemotionalsupportanimals.Therefore,thevastmajorityofemotionalsupportanimalsarenotrarecreatures.___17___Researchhaslongsupportedtheideathatanimalscanprovidesignificantmentalhealthbenefits.Oneresearchreviewfoundthatowningapethaspositiveeffectsonmentalhealthbypromotingemotionalconnectionsandhelpingpeoplemanageinhardtimes.___18___Forthisreason,emotionalsupportanimalsareoftenusedtohelppeoplestrugglingwithanxiety.Animalscanprovidecompanionship.Petscanprovidecomfortforpeoplewhoaredealingwithdifficultsituations.Emotionalsupportanimalsareoftenusedtohelppeoplewhohaveexperiencedsometypeoftrauma(创伤).___19___Researchhasfoundthathavingapetcanhelplowerbloodpressureandimprovepeople'sabilitytodealwithpain.Emotionalsupportanimalsmayprovidesomeotherbenefits.___20___Thiscanbeespeciallyimportantforpeoplewholivealone,particularlyiftheyalsoexperiencesymptomsofdepressionandanxiety.A.ESAsprovideconditionalloveandcompanionship.B.Animalscanalsoleadtoimprovementsinphysicalhealth.C.Doemotionalsupportanimalshavesideeffectsonpeople?D.Forexample,theycanhelptofightfeelingsofloneliness.E.Dogsarethemostcommontypeofemotionalsupportanimal.F.Whywouldanindividualchoosetouseanemotionalsupportanimal?G.Simplypettingananimalcancreatearelaxationresponseandmakepeoplehappier.【答案】16.E17.F18.G19.B20.D【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲解并描述了动物可以供应欢乐和陪伴，还可以引导改善身体健康。动物还可以为有心理健康问题的人供应情感支持。这些动物伙伴被称为情感支持动物，近年来它们越来越受到欢迎。【16题详解】上文Theanimalisintendedtoprovidecompanionshipandsupportthatwillhelprelieveatleastoneaspectofthedisability.(动物可以供应至少减轻一方面残疾的陪伴和支持)与E.Dogsarethemostcommontypeofemotionalsupportanimal.(狗是最常见的可以供应情感上支持的动物)承接自然，选项是对上文的内容的详细说明，animal，dog，support是关键词，故选E项。【17题详解】下文Researchhaslongsupportedtheideathatanimalscanprovidesignificantmentalhealthbenefits.(长期以来的探讨始终支持动物能给心理健康带来好处的观点)与F.Whywouldanindividualchoosetouseanemotionalsupportanimal?(为什么一个人会选择运用一个情感支持的动物)承接自然，下文是对选项所提问题的回答，故选F项。【18题详解】下文Forthisreason,emotionalsupportanimalsareoftenusedtohelppeoplestrugglingwithanxiety.(因此，情感支持动物经常被用来帮助与焦虑作斗争的人们)与G.Simplypettingananimalcancreatearelaxationresponseandmakepeoplehappier.(只是摩挲动物就能让人放松，从而使人更欢乐)承接自然，下文的thisreason就是选项中所提到的内容，故选G项。【19题详解】下文Researchhasfoundthathavingapetcanhelplowerbloodpressureandimprovepeople'sabilitytodealwithpain.(探讨发觉，养宠物有助于降低血压，并且提高人们应对苦痛的实力)与B.Animalscanalsoleadtoimprovementsinphysicalhealth.(动物也能改善身体健康)承接自然，下文是对选项内容的详细说明，且血压和应对苦痛的实力属于身体健康的范畴，故选B项。【20题详解】上文Emotionalsupportanimalsmayprovidesomeotherbenefits.(情感支持动物可能供应一些其他好处)与D.Forexample,theycanhelptofightfeelingsofloneliness.(例如，它们可以帮助对抗孤独感)承接自然，选项对上文内容的举例说明，故选D项。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)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。Today,IwassittingwithsomeotherstudentsandteachersasthejudgesoftheannualsingingcontestofBeijingNationalDaySchool(BNDS).Watchingthewonderfulperformancesonstage,Icouldnothelp___21___whathappenedlastyear.LastyearwasthefirstyearIcametotheBNDSInternationalDepartment.ThefirstmonthatBNDSwasalmosta(n)___22___:Curiosityquickly___23___,replacedbyaheavyworkload.Tomakemattersworse,Iwas___24___atotalstrangerinanewenvironment.WhenIwasintrouble,Iwastoo___25___toturntoanyoneforhelp.Ishutthedoortotheoutsideworld.IthoughtImightcontinueto___26___indarknessbymyself,untiloneday,Isawthe___27___oftheannualsingingcontest.IfIwasnotbraveenoughtocommunicateinwords,maybeIcouldsingmyheartout.Havingmademydecision,Ijoinedtheaudition(试镜).Luckily,I___28___amongmorethan100contestantsandenteredthetop32.Afteranotherthreeroundsofcompetition,Imadeittothefinalstogetherwiththreeothercontestants.___29___moreandmorestudentsknewthatIjoinedthecontest,theywenttowatchmyperformance,volunteeredto____30____formeandthensharedmysingingvideosonsocialmedia.ItseemedthatIbecamewell-knownovernight.Finally,thebigdaycame.WhenI____31____thenervetowalkonstage,Icouldnotbelievemyeyes.Thedarktheaterwassuddenlylitupby____32____sticks,whichwerelikestarsinadarksky.“Comeon,Becky!”Ashoutbrokethesilence,followedbykindlaughter.Whenitbecame____33____again,Ibegantosing.Themusicstarted,whichdrewmebacktoreality.NowImight
