D.Abookreview.【答案】1.C2.C3.A【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文，文章介绍了WestExeSchool的几个奖项。【1题详析】细节理解题。题目关键信息为“…awardisgivenmostfrequently”可知询问奖励最频繁的奖励是什么。正确答案是C.PunctualityAward.是“acrosstheweek(一周)”。因为A.MeritBadges是“inasemester.(一个学期)”；B.TheGoldenTicket.是“everytwoweeks(每两周)”；D.HeadteacherReward.是“everymonth(每一个月)”，故选C项。【2题详析】细节理解题。题目关键信息为“…HeadteacherReward…”根据HeadteacherReward最后一句“Thisincludesacertificateandpen,withalettergoinghometoparentstosharenewsoftheyoungperson’sachievement.(这包括一份证书和一支笔，还有一封寄回家给家长的信，分享年轻人的成就。)”可知学生的父母会收到学校的一封表扬孩子的信。故选C项。【3题详析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Listedbelowarethewaystheschoolcelebratesuccesswithstudents,parentsandstaffduringtheacademicyear.(以下是学校在学年期间与学生、家长和教职员工共同庆祝成功的方式。)”可知，文章介绍的是WestExeSchool的几个奖项，所以文章应该来自学校网站。故选A项。BDoesworkeverleaveyoufeelingunchangedwithlimitedopportunitiestobecreative?Toflyhigh,youmightwanttoincreaseyourbrain’sflexibility.Butisthisevenpossible,andifso,how?Mostjobsrequiretheabilitytosolveproblemsandcopewithchallenges,atleasttoacertainextent.Imagineateacherwhohasanewandverynervousstudentintheirclass.Ifthatteacherisaflexiblethinker,theywillbeabletoadapttheirclassroommanagement,eveniftheyhaven’tseenthissituationbefore.AccordingtoLeonardMlodinow,authorofElastic,flexiblethinkersrelyonideagenerationandimagination—theyarewillingtoexperimentandtakerisks.“Flexiblethinkingiswhatyouneedwhenthecircumstanceschange,andyouaredealingwithsomethingnew.It’snotaboutfollowingrules.”Therefore,insteadoffollowingthetypicalprocedureforinductinganewstudent,theteachermightcomeupwithatailoredresponse,basedonpredictionandpreviousexperience.So,howcanyoubecomeamoreflexiblethinker?AccordingtoDrLisaFeldmanBarrett,it’sallaboutexercisingthebrain.Onewayofdoingthis,shesays,isthroughexposuretoavarietyofexperienceswhichmakeiteasiertoadjusttonewsituations.Alotofcompaniesnowconsiderflexiblethinkingintheworkplace,especiallywhenitcomestodesign.Workspacesmayhavecoucheswhereworkerscanliedownandrelax,givingthemthespacetocomeupwithandprocessnewideas.Mlodinowsaysit’sveryimportanttotaketimetodaydream,listentoideasandconceptsyoudisagreewithandspendtimedoingactivitiesoutsideofyourcomfortzone.Thiswillhelpyouunderstandmultiplepointsofviewandthereforeblossominmanydifferentaspectsofyourcareer.So,ifyouwanttomakeachange,youcanbecomeaflexiblethinkertoo,withalittlepractice.4.Whydoestheauthormentiontheteacherinparagraph2?A.Toindicateteachersaremoreflexible.B.Toexplainteachersarehighly-paid.C.Toprovethejobfaceslittlechallenges.D.Toshowthejobrequiresproblem-solvingskills.5.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“tailored”inparagraph2mean?A.Fixed.

第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。Ihadstruggledwithmathsincefourthgrade,butworkedveryhardto____21____thesmartstudentsaroundme.Ineleventhgrade,muchtomyclassmates___22___,IsignedupforprecalculusBC,thehardestmathclass.ThatwaswhenImetMr.DenaandtoldhimIhad____23____inmath,yetIwouldtrymyhardest.HewasconvincedIcouldsucceed____24____thedoubtsfrommyclassmates.Mr.DenakeptanunforgettablequotebySirIsaacNewtononhischalkboard:“IfIhavebeenabletoseefurther,itisonlybecauseIstandontheshouldersofgiants.”Hereflectedonthatthroughouttheyearandwas____25____toteachusmorethanmath.Mr.Denaoccasionallygavepartnertests,believingthatwecouldsolvehardproblemstogether.Hedrewnamesoutofahatto____26____partners.Studentswere____27____outloudthattheywouldn’tbepairedwithme.Asthe“lucky”namewaspicked,theclassburstintolaughter.Mypartnerjokedaboutbeing____28____withme.However,weworkedwelltogetherandsurprisedeveryonewithour____29____onthistest.IlearnedsomuchfrommyclassmatesandIrealizedthiswasreallywhywehadpartnertests.ThefinalexamwasMr.Dena’sfinal____30____tous,butIfailedit.ItoldhimIdidn’tunderstandhowIcoulddoso____31____onatestwhenIhadstudiedsohard.Heexplainedit’snotaboutthegrades;it’sabouttrueunderstanding.Ifstudyingdidn’t____32____onatest,itwouldsomeday.Iknewthenthatbeyondpassingorfailingtests,studyingwasabouthardworkandeffort.AndI____33____myselfharderthanIeverhad.TobechallengedinmathreallychangedthewayI____34____otherchallengesinlife.Iwasn’tgoingtoletagradestopmefromlearningsomeofthebestlessonsofmylife.Mr.DenaisoneofthegiantsthatNewtondescribes.Hehashelpedmeseenotonlymore____35____ideasthanIthoughtpossible,butwhoIcanbe.21.A.keepupwith
