Some travelers are itching to escape the season’s bitter weather. If you want to find the locale that best suits your winter vacation, use these ideas to start planning your getaway.
Honolulu - Oahu
As temperatures begin to drop in other parts of the world, Hawaii’s capital city remains comfortable thanks to average highs in the low to 80 degrees. Visit Chinatown for festive Chinese New Year celebrations, or marvel at the Honolulu City Lights, a month-long Christmas display at Honolulu’s city hall. Keep in mind that winter is the island’s high season, so make your reservations early and expect to share the sand with lots of other sun-seeking travelers.
Sydney
Sydney’s summer begins in December and lasts through February, making this a popular destination for tourists escaping the Northern Hemisphere’s chilly winter weather. Average daytime temperatures hover between the mid-70s and low 80s. This time of year also features a packed events calendar, with can’t-miss sporting events and celebrations like the KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix and Sydney’s famed New Year’s Eve fireworks display. Remember to book your tickets early, as this can be a pricey and popular time to visit Australia.
Galápagos Islands
Winter in the Galápagos Islands is marked by warm weather and ample opportunities to view wildlife, snorkel and scuba dive. Although this is technically the wet season, the sun shines most days and rain showers are brief. Plan on visiting in December to see newly hatched giant tortoises and male marine lizards displaying vivid colors. For a bit more action, arrive in February to celebrate Carnival on Santa Cruz Island. To read more, click here.

Daniel Brush, an astonishing worker in gold, jewels and steel died on November 2022, aged 75. Students from a jewellery school once came to Brush’s studio, a loft in mid-Manhattan, awed to be meeting a figure who, to them, was a worker of miracles.
For 45 years in that loft, he had pursued his calling. His wife Olivia was the only company. He produced hundreds of objects of all sorts, most of them exquisite and many astonishingly small. Rather than use electricity, he laboured alone in a forest of antique machines and when tools frustrated him he made his own, displaying them in cupboards as art in themselves.
Above all else, he worked in gold. His obsession took fire when at 13 he saw an Etruscan gold bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The ancient technique of applying gold beads as fine as sand-grains to a curved gold surface without solder (焊接), was stunning, but so was the lightness of spirit.
He resolved then that he would make such a bowl, and gold became the study of his life. Simply to watch it melt, turn to red-hot and white-hot, then glow purple, was magical. To hold pure gold grain and let it move slowly through his fingers restored his calm of spirit. His chief motivation, he said, was to understand the material and, through that, himself. He wondered why his heart had beaten so fast in the museum that day. Gold in particular had a message for him. His contact with this glorious metal might focus all his attention and help him to hear it.
He developed delicate craftsmanship, with each object virtually a museum piece. For Daniel Brush, he loved the idea that one might take a piece made by Brush out of a pocket, let its beauty pass from mind to mind, and smile. That too was what its maker was after.
24. What can we learn about Daniel Brush
A. Students visited him regularly.
B. He began to live in his loft in 1975.
C He tended to use ancient crafts to produce objects.
D. Most objects he produced were of a surprisingly small size.
25. What is the main reason for his lifelong study of gold
A. He wanted to learn more about both gold and himself.
B. He wondered why his heart had beat fast in the museum.
C. His calm was restored when gold grain moved through fingers.
D. Gold had a particular message for him and he was eager to hear it.
26. Which of the following can best describe Daniel Brush
A. Stubborn. B. Wealthy. C. Dedicated. D. Lonely.
27. What does the author try to emphasize in the last paragraph
A. Brush’s valuable works. B. The admirers Brush expected.
C. Brush’s desire for fame. D. The artistic ideal Brush pursued.
C
Asthma (哮喘) is a condition that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. It is a lung disease that affects your airways—the tubes that carry air to and from your lungs. It causes the muscles in these tubes to contract, the tubes themselves to swell and sticky mucus to be produced. All of these factors can make it very difficult for a sufferer to breathe properly.
Shortness of breath, especially after exercise, coughing or difficulty breathing while sleeping are all common symptoms. These can be described as mild asthma attacks; however, they can usually be controlled by medication. A severe asthma attack, on the other hand, where a sufferer finds it very difficult to breathe, may require hospital treatment. How badly you are affected by these symptoms depends on what types of asthma you have—from mild to chronic—and how well you are able to control the disorder.
Mild or moderate asthma can be easily controlled through medication or lifestyle changes. Additionally, all attacks need a trigger, and if these triggers can be identified and avoided, the likelihood of an attack decreases. Triggers can include: pollution, smoking, dust, animal hair, stress, pollen, exercise and cold air. These triggers are personal to each individual sufferer, so if you have asthma, make sure you know what is causing your attacks.
In the last half-century there have been many developments in the treatment of asthma. There are presently two main types of medicine: preventers and relievers. A preventer is used every day and reduces the swelling of the airways, cutting the risk of an attack. A reliever is taken when breathing has become (or is going to become) difficult; this actually relaxes the muscles of the airways, reducing constriction and improving the airflow.
Prevention is also good treatment. So if you have asthma, remember to keep generally healthy, take regular exercise and lots of vitamin C to avoid colds and flu —which can be dangerous for asthma sufferers. A healthy diet is also important, and do watch what you eat, as certain foods or food additives can be asthma triggers.
28. What happens to the organs in an asthma attack
A. Lungs expand. B. Tubes tighten.
C. Airways narrow. D. Muscles swell.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Asthma
A. Common symptoms. B. Types of attack.
C. Medical treatment. D. Severity of disorder.
30. What does the underlined word “trigger” mean in paragraph 3
A. Cause. B. Treatment. C. Relief. D. Result.
31. Which one is not a wise choice to deal with asthma
A. Advance prevention. B. Healthy diet.
C. Proper medication. D. Excessive exercise.
D
In the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots held needles as they waited for their next mission. Wartime pilots suffered a lot and knitting helped rebuild dexterity (灵巧) in wounded arms while also helping to settle wounded minds.
Today, millions of people around the world employ the same technique. “I know that if I haven’t knitted for a few days, I really miss it. It’s like meditation.” says Janine Smith, who owns a store in Sydney selling supplies for knitting.
Research supports Smith’s statement. Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff University that, ten years ago, surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.
Or as Jannie Smith puts it, “That rhythm of making stitch after stitch is like deep breathing. It’s a flow where you don’t have to stress about it, you’ve got the rhythm happening.”
“Flow” is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. As he wrote in his book, “The best moments in our lives are neither the passive nor relaxing times. The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.”
The Cardiff research team found that many respondents described feeling calmer and in a better mood after knitting, and the majority of respondents who suffered from depression “perceived that knitting made them feel happier.” For respondents who suffered from chronic pain, almost nine out of ten said that knitting gave them a sense of accomplishment and a means of coping with their pain.
Interestingly, more than half of those surveyed said that knitting pushed them to develop other skills, like building furniture. Because knitting is so accessible — at its heart it’s two sticks and one stitch — it helps people build confidence in their abilities. After all, if you make a mistake, you can just pull it all out and start again.
32. Why does the author mention young male Royal Air Force pilots in paragraph 1
A. To give an example of a knitter.
B. To show the heavy burden on pilots.
C. To demonstrate the technique of pilots.
D. To introduce the healing effect of knitting.
33. Which can be called as the best moment according to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
A. Watching TV together with friends. B. Taking physical exams.
C. Playing chess with a great opponent. D. Reading funny comic books.
34. According to a research of Cardiff University, which statement about knitting is true
A. It motivates people to stretch their bodies.
B. It enables people to build furniture.
C. It helps people to get rid of chronic pain.
D. It allows people to build confidence to learn other skills.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. Active Hands, Calm Minds B. Healthier Attitude, Longer Life
C. Easy Knitting, Skill Building D. Mind Calming, Flow Finding

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
LESSONS LEARNED OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Mr. Gray was my history teacher in tenth grade. I couldn’t tell what kind of history he taught for two reasons: one, I never liked history, and two, my body was in class, but my mind wasn’t. Mr. Gray wasn’t the teacher who offered retakes (补考) on tests; he did so much more for me than that. He offered me a pair of ears and a shoulder to cry on.
Before Mr. Gray came along, one major event was taking place in my life. My mom told me she wanted to divorce my dad. Why then I didn’t understand. I barricaded (筑起壁垒) myself in my basement bedroom, listening to angry music and sleeping. I fell into a depression and my grades were falling. Then there was Mr. Gray.
I sat against a brick wall outside the library, knees pulled into my chest, head down, surrounded by my noisy friends that I was slowly distancing myself from, when I heard his voice: “Ever feel like you’re a fire hydrant (消防栓) and every dog in the neighborhood is stopping by to visit you ” I picked my head up and then I saw Mr. Gray.
I had heard him use this line in the classroom a few times before, when it looked like a kid was having a bad day. It usually aroused a laugh and ended there. This time was different though — he was waiting for an answer. Next thing I knew I was following him into the library.
We sat amongst the shelves of the mostly empty library for the rest of lunchtime. I don’t remember much about that first conversation other than the unconditional promise he made me of lending a pair of ears and a shoulder to cry on. What made him such a special teacher was that he saw that I was struggling and reached out to me outside of the classroom.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
However, that didn’t change our classroom relationship.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Many lunchtime library conversations followed throughout the school year.

M: Yes. I actually ran marathons when I was in college. I trained a lot for the marathons. But then two weeks before my big race, I injured my knees during training. My doctor suggested I stop running. I followed his advice. But I still wanted to exercise, so I began to cycle.
W: So you hadn’t run ever since
M: Yes. But after I began to run again with my son, I found I still love running. So I’ll run more in future. So do you love running
W: Not really. But I usually play tennis with my friends in my spare time. And sometimes I go swimming. So when will your son’s race take place
M: On May 10th. It’s just a week’s time away.

Daniel Brush, an astonishing worker in gold, jewels and steel died on November 2022, aged 75. Students from a jewellery school once came to Brush’s studio, a loft in mid-Manhattan, awed to be meeting a figure who, to them, was a worker of miracles.
For 45 years in that loft, he had pursued his calling. His wife Olivia was the only company. He produced hundreds of objects of all sorts, most of them exquisite and many astonishingly small. Rather than use electricity, he laboured alone in a forest of antique machines and when tools frustrated him he made his own, displaying them in cupboards as art in themselves.
Above all else, he worked in gold. His obsession took fire when at 13 he saw an Etruscan gold bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The ancient technique of applying gold beads as fine as sand-grains to a curved gold surface without solder (焊接), was stunning, but so was the lightness of spirit.
He resolved then that he would make such a bowl, and gold became the study of his life. Simply to watch it melt, turn to red-hot and white-hot, then glow purple, was magical. To hold pure gold grain and let it move slowly through his fingers restored his calm of spirit. His chief motivation, he said, was to understand the material and, through that, himself. He wondered why his heart had beaten so fast in the museum that day. Gold in particular had a message for him. His contact with this glorious metal might focus all his attention and help him to hear it.
He developed delicate craftsmanship, with each object virtually a museum piece. For Daniel Brush, he loved the idea that one might take a piece made by Brush out of a pocket, let its beauty pass from mind to mind, and smile. That too was what its maker was after.
24. What can we learn about Daniel Brush
A. Students visited him regularly.
B. He began to live in his loft in 1975.
C. He tended to use ancient crafts to produce objects.
D. Most objects he produced were of a surprisingly small size.
25. What is the main reason for his lifelong study of gold
A. He wanted to learn more about both gold and himself.
B. He wondered why his heart had beat fast in the museum.
C. His calm was restored when gold grain moved through fingers.
D. Gold had a particular message for him and he was eager to hear it.
26. Which of the following can best describe Daniel Brush
A. Stubborn. B. Wealthy. C. Dedicated. D. Lonely.
27. What does the author try to emphasize in the last paragraph
A. Brush’s valuable works. B. The admirers Brush expected.
C. Brush’s desire for fame. D. The artistic ideal Brush pursued.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了Daniel Brush是一位创造奇迹的人，使用古老的工艺来制作物品，他终生研究黄金，一生追求艺术理想。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“The ancient technique of applying gold beads as fine as sand-grains to a curved gold surface without solder (焊接), was stunning, but so was the lightness of spirit.(在没有焊料的弯曲金表面上涂上细如沙粒的金珠的古老技术令人惊叹，但精神的轻盈也是如此。)”可知Daniel Brush倾向于使用古老的工艺来制作物品，故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。文章第四段讲到“His chief motivation, he said, was to understand the material and, through that, himself. He wondered why his heart had beaten so fast in the museum that day. Gold in particular had a message for him. His contact with this glorious metal might focus all his attention and help him to hear it.(他说，他的主要动机是了解材料，并通过这些了解自己。他想知道为什么那天他的心脏在博物馆里跳动得如此之快。黄金特别向他传达了一个信息。他与这种光荣金属的接触可能会集中他的所有注意力，帮助他听到它。)”可知他终生研究黄金的主要原因是他想了解更多关于黄金和自己的知识，故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“For 45 years in that loft, he had pursued his calling (在那间阁楼里45年来，他一直在追寻自己的使命)”以及整篇文章描述他对黄金的研究和投入，可知Daniel Brush非常投入和专注，故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“For Daniel Brush, he loved the idea that one might take a piece made by Brush out of a pocket, let its beauty pass from mind to mind, and smile. That too was what its maker was after. (对于Daniel Brush来说，他喜欢这样的想法：人们可以从口袋里拿出一件Brush制作的作品，让它的美从脑海中传递到脑海中，然后微笑。这也是它的制造者所追求的。)”可知作者在最后一段中强调的是Brush追求的艺术理想，故选D。
C
Asthma (哮喘) is a condition that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. It is a lung disease that affects your airways—the tubes that carry air to and from your lungs. It causes the muscles in these tubes to contract, the tubes themselves to swell and sticky mucus to be produced. All of these factors can make it very difficult for a sufferer to breathe properly.
Shortness of breath, especially after exercise, coughing or difficulty breathing while sleeping are all common symptoms. These can be described as mild asthma attacks; however, they can usually be controlled by medication. A severe asthma attack, on the other hand, where a sufferer finds it very difficult to breathe, may require hospital treatment. How badly you are affected by these symptoms depends on what types of asthma you have—from mild to chronic—and how well you are able to control the disorder.
Mild or moderate asthma can be easily controlled through medication or lifestyle changes. Additionally, all attacks need a trigger, and if these triggers can be identified and avoided, the likelihood of an attack decreases. Triggers can include: pollution, smoking, dust, animal hair, stress, pollen, exercise and cold air. These triggers are personal to each individual sufferer, so if you have asthma, make sure you know what is causing your attacks.
In the last half-century there have been many developments in the treatment of asthma. There are presently two main types of medicine: preventers and relievers. A preventer is used every day and reduces the swelling of the airways, cutting the risk of an attack. A reliever is taken when breathing has become (or is going to become) difficult; this actually relaxes the muscles of the airways, reducing constriction and improving the airflow.
Prevention is also good treatment. So if you have asthma, remember to keep generally healthy, take regular exercise and lots of vitamin C to avoid colds and flu —which can be dangerous for asthma sufferers. A healthy diet is also important, and do watch what you eat, as certain foods or food additives can be asthma triggers.
28. What happens to the organs in an asthma attack
A. Lungs expand. B. Tubes tighten.
C. Airways narrow. D. Muscles swell.
29. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Asthma
A. Common symptoms. B. Types of attack.
C. Medical treatment. D. Severity of disorder.
30. What does the underlined word “trigger” mean in paragraph 3
A. Cause. B. Treatment. C. Relief. D. Result.
31. Which one is not a wise choice to deal with asthma
A. Advance prevention. B. Healthy diet.
C. Proper medication. D. Excessive exercise.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了哮喘的症状、原因、分类以及治疗与预防方法。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It is a lung disease that affects your airways — the tubes that carry air to and from your lungs. It causes the muscles in these tubes to contract, the tubes themselves to swell and sticky mucus to be produced. (这是一种肺部疾病，会影响你的气道——输送空气进出肺部的管道。它会导致这些管子里的肌肉收缩，管道本身膨胀，产生粘稠的粘液。)”可知，哮喘发作时，气道中的肌肉收缩，因此气道变窄。故选C项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“These can be described as mild asthma attacks; however, they can usually be controlled by medication. A severe asthma attack, on the other hand, where a sufferer finds it very difficult to breathe, may require hospital treatment. How badly you are affected by these symptoms depends on what types of asthma you have—from mild to chronic—and how well you are able to control the disorder. (这些症状可以被描述为轻度哮喘发作；然而，它们通常可以通过药物控制。另一方面，严重的哮喘发作，患者发现呼吸非常困难，可能需要住院治疗。这些症状对你的影响有多严重取决于你患的是哪种类型的哮喘——从轻度到慢性——以及你控制这种疾病的能力。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了哮喘的类型。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Additionally, all attacks need a trigger, and if these triggers can be identified and avoided, the likelihood of an attack decreases. Triggers can include: pollution, smoking, dust, animal hair, stress, pollen, exercise and cold air. These triggers are personal to each individual sufferer, so if you have asthma, make sure you know what is causing your attacks. (此外，所有的哮喘发作都需要一个trigger，如果可以识别和避免这些triggers，攻击的可能性就会降低。triggers包括：污染、吸烟、灰尘、动物毛发、压力、花粉、运动和冷空气。这些triggers因人而异，所以如果你有哮喘，一定要知道是什么导致了你的发作)”可知，由污染、吸烟、灰尘、动物毛发、压力、花粉、运动或冷空气导致哮喘发作，因此推断trigger表示“诱因”，与Cause意思相近，故选A项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“So if you have asthma, remember to keep generally healthy, take regular exercise and lots of vitamin C to avoid colds and flu—which can be dangerous for asthma sufferers. (因此，如果你患有哮喘，记得保持身体健康，定期锻炼，摄入大量维生素C，以避免感冒和流感——这对哮喘患者来说是危险的。)”可知，患有哮喘的人，定期锻炼，而非Excessive exercise(过度运动)，故选D项。
D
In the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots held needles as they waited for their next mission. Wartime pilots suffered a lot and knitting helped rebuild dexterity (灵巧) in wounded arms while also helping to settle wounded minds.
Today, millions of people around the world employ the same technique. “I know that if I haven’t knitted for a few days, I really miss it. It’s like meditation.” says Janine Smith, who owns a store in Sydney selling supplies for knitting.
Research supports Smith’s statement. Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff University that, ten years ago, surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.
Or as Jannie Smith puts it, “That rhythm of making stitch after stitch is like deep breathing. It’s a flow where you don’t have to stress about it, you’ve got the rhythm happening.”
“Flow” is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. As he wrote in his book, “The best moments in our lives are neither the passive nor relaxing times. The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.”
The Cardiff research team found that many respondents described feeling calmer and in a better mood after knitting, and the majority of respondents who suffered from depression “perceived that knitting made them feel happier.” For respondents who suffered from chronic pain, almost nine out of ten said that knitting gave them a sense of accomplishment and a means of coping with their pain.
Interestingly, more than half of those surveyed said that knitting pushed them to develop other skills, like building furniture. Because knitting is so accessible — at its heart it’s two sticks and one stitch — it helps people build confidence in their abilities. After all, if you make a mistake, you can just pull it all out and start again.
32. Why does the author mention young male Royal Air Force pilots in paragraph 1
A. To give an example of a knitter.
B. To show the heavy burden on pilots.
C. To demonstrate the technique of pilots.
D. To introduce the healing effect of knitting.
33. Which can be called as the best moment according to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
A. Watching TV together with friends. B. Taking physical exams.
C. Playing chess with a great opponent. D. Reading funny comic books.
34. According to a research of Cardiff University, which statement about knitting is true
A. It motivates people to stretch their bodies.
B. It enables people to build furniture.
C. It helps people to get rid of chronic pain.
D. It allows people to build confidence to learn other skills.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. Active Hands, Calm Minds B. Healthier Attitude, Longer Life
C. Easy Knitting, Skill Building D. Mind Calming, Flow Finding
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了编织可以帮我们应对压力，缓解身体和精神上的伤痛。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“In the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots held needles as they waited for their next mission. Wartime pilots suffered a lot and knitting helped rebuild dexterity (灵巧) in wounded arms while also helping to settle wounded minds.(在20世纪40年代，年轻的英国皇家空军男性飞行员在等待下一个任务时，手里拿着针。战时飞行员遭受了很多痛苦，编织有助于恢复受伤手臂的灵活性，同时也有助于安抚受伤的心灵)”可知，作者提到年轻的英国皇家空军男性飞行员目的是想告诉我们编织的治愈作用：有助于恢复受伤手臂的灵活性，同时也有助于安抚受伤的心灵。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的句子“The best moments in our lives are neither the passive nor relaxing times. The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.(我们生活中最好的时刻既不是消极的时刻，也不是放松的时刻。最好的时刻通常发生在一个人的身体或思想被拉伸到极限，自愿努力去完成一些困难和有价值的事情)”可知，我们生活中最好的时刻既不是消极的时刻，也不是放松的时刻，而是一个人的身体或思想被拉伸到极限，自愿努力去完成一些困难和有价值的事情的时刻。A项“Watching TV together with friends.(和朋友一起看电视)”和D项“Reading funny comic books.(看有趣的漫画书)”是放松的时刻；B项“Taking physical exams.(参加体检)”是很多人不愿去做的事，更不会将一个人的身体或思想拉伸到极限；而和高手下象棋可以将一个人的身体或思想拉伸到极限，也是一个人自愿努力去做的事。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章的最后一段“Interestingly, more than half of those surveyed said that knitting pushed them to develop other skills, like building furniture. Because knitting is so accessible — at its heart it’s two sticks and one stitch — it helps people build confidence in their abilities. After all, if you make a mistake, you can just pull it all out and start again.(有趣的是，超过一半的受访者表示，编织促使他们发展了其他技能，比如制作家具。因为编织很容易上手——本质上就是两根棍子，一针一针——它有助于人们建立对自己能力的信心。毕竟，如果你犯了一个错误，你可以把它全部拉出来重新开始)”可知，编织可以让人们建立起学习其他技能的信心。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的句子“Wartime pilots suffered a lot and knitting helped rebuild dexterity (灵巧) in wounded arms while also helping to settle wounded minds.(战时飞行员遭受了很多痛苦，编织有助于恢复受伤手臂的灵活性，同时也有助于安抚受伤的心灵)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了编织可以帮我们应对压力，缓解身体和精神上的伤痛。由此可知，A项“Active Hands, Calm Minds(双手活跃，头脑冷静)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了完美主义者的特征以及如何改变完美主义者的思维。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Do you ever feel really afraid of failing Do you think you have to be perfect all the time Do you get very upset over small mistakes that you think you made and then imagine that makes the whole thing you are working on wrong (你曾经真的害怕失败吗？你认为你必须一直保持完美吗？你是否会因为你认为自己犯了一些小错误而非常沮丧，然后想象这会让你正在做的整个事情都错了？)”可知，如果有以上的现象，你有可能是一个完美主义者。所以选择项A“If you do, then you are probably a perfectionist.(如果是的，那么你可能是一个完美主义者。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据前句“Perfectionists think that if they don’t act perfectly, they are really bad or worthless. (完美主义者认为，如果他们表现得不完美，他们就真的很糟糕或毫无价值。)”和后句“For example, you imagine other people judge you very harshly for very small mistakes.(例如，你想象其他人会因为你的一个小错误而严厉地批评你。)”可知，完美主义者认为不但自己要求完美，还会认为别人都以高标准来评判他们。所以选择项G“They usually think others also use the same unreasonably high standards to judge them. (他们通常认为别人也用同样不合理的高标准来评判他们。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据前句“Perfectionists set really unrealistic goals for themselves, such as, I will make honor roll every year or never miss a step in that dance sequence. (完美主义者给自己设定的目标非常不切实际，比如，我每年都要上荣誉榜，或者在舞蹈中从不错过一步。)”和后句“This kind of thinking means you view situations as all good or all bad—nothing in between. (这种思维意味着你认为情况不是全好就是全坏——没有介于两者之间。)”可知，如果完美主义者没有达到给自己设定的目标，就会认为很糟糕。所以选择项D“When they don’t meet these goals, they feel it’s a catastrophe. (当他们没有达到这些目标时，他们会觉得这是一场灾难。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。
【39题详解】
空处为本段主旨句。根据后文“The first step is to help them identify their thoughts about a situation that’s distressing. They are advised to ask themselves, “What is going through my mind right now ” Then, if their next thought is along the lines of all-good or all-bad thinking such as “I made a mistake and now my project is ruined,” it is suggested that they ask themselves something about that thought. They could ask, “Is there a way to see my situation as not all good or bad, but as something in between ”(第一步是帮助他们确定自己对令人痛苦的情况的想法。建议他们问自己：“我现在在想什么 ”然后，如果他们的下一个想法是完全好的或完全坏的，比如“我犯了一个错误，现在我的项目被毁了”，建议他们问问自己关于这个想法的一些事情。他们可能会问：“有没有一种方法可以让我的处境不完全是？”)”可知，本段主要介绍如何帮助改变完美主义者的思维方式。所以选择项B“So what can people do to help change the way they think (那么，人们能做些什么来帮助改变他们的思维方式呢？)”符合题意。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据前文“Setting realistic goals sounds like a crucial part of trying to avoid perfectionism, while still being motivated to do well. Yes, contrary to what most people think, you can still become very successful without being a perfectionist! (设定现实的目标听起来像是避免完美主义的一个关键部分，同时仍然有动力做好。是的，与大多数人的想法相反，你仍然可以变得非常成功，而不是一个完美主义者!)”和后句“They can fail at a task and more easily bounce back from that failure.(他们可以在任务中失败，并且更容易从失败中恢复过来。)”可知，这里介绍完美主义者与积极奋斗者对待目标的态度。所以选择项F“Positive strivers set realistic goals and enjoy challenging themselves. (积极奋斗者设定现实的目标，喜欢挑战自我。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
LESSONS LEARNED OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Mr. Gray was my history teacher in tenth grade. I couldn’t tell what kind of history he taught for two reasons: one, I never liked history, and two, my body was in class, but my mind wasn’t. Mr. Gray wasn’t the teacher who offered retakes (补考) on tests; he did so much more for me than that. He offered me a pair of ears and a shoulder to cry on.
Before Mr. Gray came along, one major event was taking place in my life. My mom told me she wanted to divorce my dad. Why then I didn’t understand. I barricaded (筑起壁垒) myself in my basement bedroom, listening to angry music and sleeping. I fell into a depression and my grades were falling. Then there was Mr. Gray.
I sat against a brick wall outside the library, knees pulled into my chest, head down, surrounded by my noisy friends that I was slowly distancing myself from, when I heard his voice: “Ever feel like you’re a fire hydrant (消防栓) and every dog in the neighborhood is stopping by to visit you ” I picked my head up and then I saw Mr. Gray.
I had heard him use this line in the classroom a few times before, when it looked like a kid was having a bad day. It usually aroused a laugh and ended there. This time was different though — he was waiting for an answer. Next thing I knew I was following him into the library.
We sat amongst the shelves of the mostly empty library for the rest of lunchtime. I don’t remember much about that first conversation other than the unconditional promise he made me of lending a pair of ears and a shoulder to cry on. What made him such a special teacher was that he saw that I was struggling and reached out to me outside of the classroom.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
However, that didn’t change our classroom relationship.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Many lunchtime library conversations followed throughout the school year.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
However that didn’t change our classroom relationship. Every time he noticed my mind was wandering, he would call on me, trying to draw my attention back. Unsurprisingly, I still distanced myself from classmates. I still didn’t know most of the answers. But I think he knew that I was at a crossroads. Apparently, my problem needed to be addressed first outside the classroom and then in class.
More lunchtime library conversations followed throughout the school year. They always made me feel freer and I didn’t feel trapped like before. Mr. Gray who was always there unconditionally, presented me with an outlet for my pain and frustration. His presence and life wisdom enabled me to become less defensive and open up more. Gradually, the hours spent amongst the library shelves became my favorite time to take his “class”. Little as I remembered about what he taught in the history class, the lessons learned outside the classroom would never fade away.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和他十年级历史老师之间的故事。在遇到新老师之前，作者的父母离婚，他想不通，因此开始封闭自己。有一次在学校，作者蜷缩在图书馆外，觉得自己和周围的距离越来越远。历史老师发现了他，并对他说了老师常常对心情不好的学生说的笑话，这开启了两人课外的对话。此后作者经常在午饭的空余时间和老师去图书馆交流。此后，历史课上只要发现作者开小差，老师便会提醒他。虽然多数时候回答不上问题，老师并没放弃，而是继续帮助他开导他，解决学习之外，思想方面的问题。作者因为不喜欢历史，且上历史课思绪早已在教室外，并没记住老师传授的历史知识，但是老师敏锐地发现他的痛苦和沮丧，在课堂外教给了作者生活智慧，使他走出困境，这也使得这位老师对作者而言，很特别。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“然而，这并没有改变我们的课堂关系。”可知，第一段可描写作者在历史课上的表现的有这样表现的原因。
②由第二段首句内容“整个学年，更多的午餐时间图书馆对话接踵而至。”可知，第二段可描写老师继续利用午餐空余时间和作者沟通，最终成功开导作者。
2.续写线索：父母离婚——心情郁闷——欠佳的状况被老师发现——老师开导——走出困境，再次敞开心扉
