8、al practitioner (行医者). For the first time that I could remember, I had missed an appointment, and she called to berate me. Yes, it was my fault, but I think I subconsciously avoided the appointment due to the aggressive communication we had had thus far.I had a sense of what I was getting into when

9、I chose to go with her I was warned about her bedside manner but she came, highly recommended by multiple people, and I did not have the energy to keep looking for other options. So I went with her and made myself ready for the journey.But I was not prepared. She screamed at me for minutes on end, a

10、s I sat there, unable to get a word in, feeling terribly guilty and ashamed of the missed appointment and having wasted her time. There was no calm talk about paying for the missed appointment.After the phone call, I felt terrible. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and that everyone we

11、 meet comes into our lives for a reason.A week or so later, after telling a friend about the event, I was blessed with this insight: This womans attacking voice was familiar, and it was personified and strengthened by my harsh (刺耳的), critical inner voice. My friend helped me see what a blessing this

12、 encounter was. If I could see my inner critic as this woman with her associated foolish behaviour, I would not allow myself to buy into it.I remember I once read an article which says that when we look at the behavior of others, we are looking at a mirror. According to the “Mirror Theory”, when we

13、observe character defects (缺点) in other people, we are really seeing the undeveloped and unresolved parts of our personality. With this in mind, not only do I need to examine how I view and treat myself, but also other people. So eventually, my encounter with this practitioner was for the best.24Wha

14、t does the underlined word “berate” in Paragraph 1 mean?AScoldBComfortCQuestionDContact25Why did the author miss the appointment?AShe lacked communication with the practitioner.BShe spent much time preparing for the journey.CShe was afraid to face the rude practitioner.DShe wanted to find a better p

15、ractitioner.26What do we know about the authors encounter with the practitioner?AIt helped her realize her own mistakes.BIt helped her see her own critic inner voice.CIt gave her a chance to listen to her own heart.DIt gave her experience in dealing with rough people.27What has the author learnt fro

16、m the “Mirror Theory”?ATreat herself better in the future.BTreat other people with more tolerance.COverlook the character defects in other people.DSee her character defects while observing others.CEver been to a concert and felt like youve been possessed（着了魔的）by the performance? Your toes tap, your

17、body moves slowly and your head bobs to the beat. In fact youre copying the performers every move. Thats probably because youve been processed. At concerts, the brains of the listener and the performer can become perfectly synchronized（同步的）, according to new research from Shanghais Institute of brai

18、n and Education Innovation at East China Normal University. The situation, named “inter-brain coherence”（大脑内部一致性）is even more noticeable when the listener enjoys the music.“These findings suggest that neural synchronization between the audience and the performer might serve as an underlying mechanis

19、m for the positive reception of musical performance,” notes the research paper, published in the journal NeuroImage.For their study, researchers focused specifically on the brains of people taking in a classical violin performance. They filmed a musician playing 12 short musical pieces, while lookin

20、g directly at the camera -and keeping a neutral（中立的）expression throughout the performance. Researchers didnt want the violinist to tip off viewers as to which pieces he enjoyed playing the most.That video was played for an audience of 16 under graduate students, all of them connected to bring monito

21、ring equipment called functional near-infrared spectroscope（近红外光谱）. That technology uses light to show how much oxygen blood is caring to bring tissue, as well as the volume of that blood. The result is considered an accurate measurement of brain activity. In this case, they were only women in the a

22、udience-a necessary control, as past research suggests gender could also be a factor in music performances. Finally, the audience used a seven point scale to rate the performance. Increasingly, the researchers found that blood flow in the brain of each listener copied that of the performer. Brains w

23、ere essentially synchronized, experiencing the same processes at the same time. And the more listeners enjoyed the music, the more powerful that mental monitoring became.“In the present study, the frontoparietal mirror neuron system （额顶叶镜像神经元系统）allows the audience to experience the mind of the perfo

24、rmer as if they were to “walk in anothers shoes”, the researchers note. At the very least, the research goes a long way toward explaining why we often feel tuned into an art artist on stage-even while standing among an audience of thousands, its the kind of intimacy（亲密）born of brains in singing toge

25、ther in perfect harmony. “Music is everywhere in our lives, but little is known about the neural basis of well-received music,” the researchers write ”This study expands our understanding of music appreciation.”28. What is the purpose of mentioning the question in Paragraph 1?A. To invite readers to

26、 answer it. B. To show the importance of music.C. To draw readers attention to the topic. D. To test readers knowledge about concerts.29. Why do the researchers ask the violinist to keep his favourite pieces a secret?A. To get an accurate result.B. To train viewers attention.C. To find out about one

27、s playing habits. D. To encourage the audience to express their true thoughts.30. What does the underlined part “feel tuned in to an artist” in the last paragraph refer to?A. We think highly of the artist.B. We want to perform together with the artist.C. We want to be noticed by the performer we lik

28、e.D. We can have a good understanding of the performers feelings.31. Which of the following can be best title for the text?A. The more listeners enjoy music, the betterB. The more classical the music is, the more powerfulC. Music unties the brains of performers and the audienceD. Music promotes posi

29、tive social behaviors of listenersDNowadays education is seen as a local or national problem. For almost twenty years, I have also worked to address the huge inequalities in my countrys education. But as I met those trying to improve education in other countries, and saw first-hand the challenges th

30、ey were dealing with, I learned that the marginalized（边缘化）children in India and Peru had more in common with marginalized children in the US than with the kids who have more advantages in their own countries. Educational inequality is actually a global problem.Sixty per cent of primary school in low

31、 and middle income countries leave school, unable to read and write. Hundreds of millions more, in countries rich and poor, are not developing the ability to face the future of work, with its complex problem solving challenges. How can we solve this seemingly difficult problem? One solution lies in

32、international efforts.To increase education levels for all these children, it is important to share knowledge and develop leadership across borders. This means governments and private donors working together to create a strong global education system.We know that a worldwide strategy is necessary fo

33、r progress in healthcare. The global health care system is valued and supported by donors and governments. But there have been few global knowledge-sharing efforts on behalf of education. Only 3 percent of development spending in education is given to organizations whose work could help all nations-

34、 compared to 21 per cent in health.There are many reasons for this. The effects of treatment can be measured quickly and this is not the case with education. Rather, progress requires changing behavior over time. Solutions must be adapted to local contexts. And there are huge gaps in data, such as g

35、lobal reading and math achievement scores. Fewer than 50 percent of low-income countries have reported reading or maths scores for any grade level since 2000.But in the past ten years, we have spent building the Teach for All education network, covering 49 countries. We have seen that despite huge d

36、ifferences in local contexts and cultures, similar roots of education challenges mean solutions can be effectively shared.First, invest in outputs such as research, data and tools that can be used in many countries. Then, invest in efforts to strengthen local leaders ability to carry out new plans.

37、Lastly, build networks that let individuals and organizations learn from each other and address problems together.These steps will spread best practice and strengthen leadership. But we are already making progress on a broader scale. Its time to increase investments to speed up solutions to the prob

38、lem. We cannot let difficulties continue to hold up back. The development promises we have made to future generations require us to face the challenge head-on.32. In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to _.A. give an argument B. reach a conclusion C. offer a suggestion D. make a comparison33. Why

39、are many worldwide strategies set for health care instead of education?A. Educational problems are more complex.B. Education has a very slight effect on people.C. People pay more attention to their physical health.D. Some countries have nor realized the importance of education.34. What can we know f

40、rom the authors research in the past ten yearsA. Local leaders have the ability to solve their own problems.B. Traditional method should be taken into consideration.C. Resources should be shared among different countries.D. Different countries have different educational problems.35. What is the auth

41、ors attitude towards the future development of education?A. Unclear B. Objective C. Doubtful D. Positive第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。期中有两项为多于选项。Learned optimism is about developing the ability to view the world from a positive point of view. 36 According to research, peopl

42、e who were more optimistic at age 25 were much healthier later between the ages of 45 and 60 than the pessimistic (悲观的) people. Optimistic people tend to live longer. 37 When trying to lose weight, for example, optimists are more likely to focus on positive changes, which will help them reach their

43、goals.According to research, in addition to being partly hereditary (遗传的), optimism levels are also influenced by childhood experiences. Research suggests that it may be beneficial to teach kids optimism skills late enough in childhood, but before the arrival of puberty (青春期). 38 Teaching children s

44、uch skills at their young ages might help them avoid psychological problems. 39 Now lets use an example to show it: Imagine that you recently started a new exercise plan but youre having trouble sticking with it. Then write down the thoughts running through your mind. You might think things like “Ma

45、ybe Im not strong enough to reach my goals”. Meanwhile, ask yourself, “Did such beliefs result in positive actions, or prevent me reaching my goals?” Then you may quickly realize that the negative beliefs make it more difficult to stick with your workout plan. 40 And in this way, youll be left feeli

46、ng more motivated.AThere is an effective approach to becoming optimistic.BThere are many benefits of becoming an optimistic person.CThey dont let it influence their beliefs about their abilities in other areas.DOptimists, on the other hand, expect that good things will happen to them.ENext, try to c

47、onsider all of the times that you did successfully finish your workout.FThis is because kids have skills to think about their own thoughts during this period.GAdditionally, optimism can also help you maintain motivation when pursuing goals.第三部分 语言知识应用（共两小节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）Providing

61、ck in the 1930s, the country life was really touch.

She resolved that she would keep in

64、son so easily, Susan hurried out of the inn. When carefully putting the money into her pocket, she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one, and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize. She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery. “It is mine.

65、All mine.” She said to herself. “I will buy mum a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too.”Just at that moment, she realized that Jason must have given the
