　　(2017·新课标全国卷，D)Conflict is on the menu tonight at the cafe La Chope.This evening，as on every Thursday night，psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favorite pastimes，coffee drinking and the “talking cure”．Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings.It isn't always easy.The customers—some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session—are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect.“You are forbidden to say ‘one feels，’ or ‘people think’，”Lehanne told them.“Say ‘I think，’ ‘Think me’．”

　　A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed？It couldn't seem more un­French.But Lehanne's psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself：It's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes.Over the years，Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle—longer working hours，a fast­food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home.Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.Cafes focused around psychology，history，and engineering are catching on，filling tables well into the evening.

　　The city's “psychology cafes”which offer great comfort，are among the most popular places.Middle­aged homemakers，retirees，and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love，anger and dreams with a psychologist.And they come to Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel.“There's a strong need in Paris for communication，”says Maurice Frisch a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church.“People have few real friends.And they need to open up.”Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafes all over France.“If people had normal lives，these cafes wouldn't exist，”she says，“If life weren't a battle，people wouldn't need a special place just to speak.”But then，it wouldn't be France.

　　【语篇解读】　这是一篇议论文。作者从La Chope咖啡馆的经营特色谈起，介绍了巴黎

　　A．They are less frequently visited.

　　B．They stay open for longer hours.

　　C．They have bigger night crowds.

　　D．They start to serve fast food.

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。由第二段“Over the years，Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle...”一句可知，在过去的几年里，巴黎咖啡馆的生意因法国人生活方式的变化而受损。由此可以推断，人们不再那么频繁地光顾咖啡馆了。因此答案为A。]

　　3．What are theme cafes expected to do?

　　A．Create more jobs.

　　B．Supply better drinks.

　　C．Save the cafe business.

　　D．Serve the neighborhood.

　　4．Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?

　　A．They bring people true friendship.

　　B．They give people spiritual support.

　　C．They help people realize their dreams.

　　D．They offer a platform for business links.

　　(2017·北京卷，A)

　　The Boy Made It!

　　On Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn't have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.

　　Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic.He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

　　He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn't, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.

　　Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.

　　By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.

　　The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn't find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.

　　Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild. That's where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.

　　When Grylls heard about Nicholas' amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

　　【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了十几岁的青少年Nicholas 在滑雪时遭遇暴风雪迷了路，他不畏艰难，利用在电视中学到的野外生存知识逃脱困境的故事。

　　5．What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?

　　A．He got lost.

　　B．He broke his skis.

　　C．He hurt his eyes.

　　D．He caught a cold.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。由第一段Before he knew it，Nicholas was lost，all alone！可知Nicholas在滑雪时突遇暴风雪而迷路。选A。]

　　6．How did Nicholas keep himself warm?

　　A．He found a shelter.

　　B．He lighted some branches.

　　C．He kept on skiing.

　　D．He built a snow cave.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。由第三段 Nicholas built a snow cave.和to stay as warm as he could可知，Nicholas为了保持自己体温不降低，他建了一个雪洞。选D。]

　　7．On Tuesday, Nicholas ________．

　　A．returned to his shelter safely

　　B．was saved by a searcher

　　C．got stuck in the snow

　　D．stayed where he was

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。由第五段He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. 可知星期二，当Nicholas走出大约一英里的地方时一位自愿搜寻者找到了他。选B。]

　　8．Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he ________．

　　A．did the right things in the dangerous situation

　　B．watched Grylls' TV program regularly

　　Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age.Similarly，his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions.Since then，he had never looked back.Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore.He had hated them.They were either too big or too small.Then，there was the instructor.He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father.He had made an exception.Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

　　After the first expedition，Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better.There was never a dull moment.In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back，Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean.Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.Sometimes，his was limited

　　to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.At least，he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.

　　Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him，a man offered to take him around the different spots for free.Larry did not even know what the time was，

　　how__many__spots__he__dived__into__or__how__many__photographs__he__had__taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

　　Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already，she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

　　体裁：记叙文　话题：人生经历　词数：288　时间：6′

　　(2017·山东卷，B)It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore.Needless to say，it was too hot to do anything outside.But it was also scorching in our apartment.This was 1962，and I would not live in a place with an air­conditioner for another ten years.So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors.He suggested we could see a movie.It was a brilliant plan.

　　Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and－most important －sit in air conditioning.In those days，you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies.Then，the theater would show the same two movies again.If you wanted to，you could sit through them twice.Most people did not do that，but the manager at our theater，Mr.Bellow，did not mind if you did.

　　That particular day，my brother and I sat through both movies twice，trying to escape the heat.We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each.Then，we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We'd already seen the second movie once before.It had been at the theater since January，because Mr.Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.

　　We left the theater around 8，just before the evening shows began.But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again，twice more.And we did it the next day too.Finally，on the fourth day，the heat wave broke.

　　Still，to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance！Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962.They're really memories of the screen，not memories of my life.

　　(2017·湖北卷，A)Before I had my son，I spent two years working with children with disabilities.I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster.Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme.I found something that worked，though.

　　There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him.One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine.His appearance created an atmosphere of tension.He spent the entire session running around，hitting and kicking，and destroying property.

　　I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co­worker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears，and could not get control of the situation.As we were talking，the boy ran in.I told my co­worker that I would take care of him.

　　I closed the door.He was full of energy，throwing things around and making a huge mess.But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me.He needed connection，and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it.So I sat back down and kept quiet.Then he slowed down and began making a rocket.I talked to him about it.We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation：

　　“So what happened today？”

　　It was purely a question，no blame or anger in my tone.I believe that if I had criticized him，the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed.He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked.He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game.I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was

　　very upset.This again was stated simply as a fact.I suggested that next time he had a session，he talk about what he hoped to do at the start，which might be easier for everyone.He agreed and was quiet for a moment.Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.

　　【语篇解读】　作者通过和一个小男孩相处的故事，告诉我们，大声地批评和恐吓调皮的孩子只能使事情变得更糟糕，给予孩子更多的时间和宽容可以使事情变得好起来。

　　19．The boy made trouble for his teacher because he _____________.

　　A．was accused of destroying property

　　B．was told not to yell at other children

　　C．was made to do things against his will

　　D．was blamed for creating an air of tension

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文中最后一段“He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked.”可知，老师让他做他不喜欢的事情。]

　　20．Why didn't the author do anything about the boy's bad behavior at first?

　　A．She didn't want to make it worse.

　　B．She didn't mind the huge mess at all.

　　C．She was tired of shouting and threats.

　　D．She hadn't thought of a coping strategy.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据第四段第2至3行But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me.He needed connection，and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it.So I sat back down and kept quiet.可知作者一开始不去纠正这个男孩的不良行为是因为这是孩子特有的表达方式，作者要做的不是批评、要求孩子，而是耐心地等孩子平静下来。同时，作者处理这件事的方式与全文主题句I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster相对应。故选A。]

　　21．The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ________．

　　A．playing games with him

　　B．giving him a good suggestion

　　C．describing his teacher's feelings

　　体裁：议论文　话题：心理健康　词数：310　时间：7′

　　(2017·南昌二模)More and more people come to realize that negative self­talk and negative energy can affect you in many ways and cause you additional stress.Because of this，developing more positive self­talk is an important way to reduce stress in your life.You can help yourself maintain a positive frame of mind，which will help with positive self­talk by surrounding yourself with positive energy in your life.You can get that by adding some elements to your life.

　　Listening to music that not only has a pleasant melody，but an uplifting message，can be great for developing positive self­talk.Have you ever had a song “stuck__in__your__head” for a few hours or days，the lyrics repeating themselves in your mind? If those lyrics were positive and inspirational，that would be a good thing.It's a much better mental soundtrack to have than a running stream of complaints，criticisms of self­limiting thoughts，or even songs that had more depressing or sad lyrics.

　　Books on strength，personal power，enlightenment，or self­help can be good resources to help you change your outlook and the things you say to yourself.Rather than bringing habitual self­defeating thoughts，you can find yourself thinking of new can­do concepts when times get tough.

　　One of the most important ways you can get and keep positive energy in your life is with the company you keep.Do your friends uplift you，or bring you down? Are they critical，or approving? Ideal friendships provide support when you're down，fun when you're up，wisdom when you're lost.Good friends can inspire you to reach greater heights，and see your strengths even when you don't always.Pay attention to how your friends make you feel，and if they're less than supportive，start putting your energy and time toward people who are better suited to be your friends.

　　In addition，positive affirmations (肯定) can certainly change your self­talk from negative to positive.Now，why not begin working positive affirmations into your life

　　in some creative ways?

　　【语篇解读】　越来越多的人认识

　　体裁：议论文　话题：家庭作业　词数：290　时间：5′

　　(2017·合肥二检)After students come home from a tiring

　　day at school，they tend to worry a lot about their homework.

　　Whether students are working on English or chemistry

　　homework，they are simply working on the assignment in order

　　to get it done，attempting to memorize the concepts for the time

　　being and do not absorb any of the information afterward.Students are wasting their time on insignificant assignments

　　rather than

　　effectively

　　using

　　that

　　time

　　to

　　achieve

　　other

　　accomplishments.According to www.dailymail.com many

　　parents are concerned that homework is being assigned rather

　　than being used to integrate (整合) what teachers are covering

　　in the classroom.In their eyes，if less homework is assigned，students would have less stress and could focus more on their

　　passions and hobbies.

　　Homework gets in the way of participating in community service events as well as opportunities for getting a job or being a part of an extra­curricular activity.These responsibilities are important for teenagers to take on because they prepare the teenagers for the “real world”．Without the proper exposure to work that is not school­related，students will find themselves lost after they graduate.If homework were no longer given，students would have more time to mature in other fields rather than being educated only on academics.

　　In spite of the fact that teachers want students to do better in tests and absorb

　　the

　　material

　　that they

　　are

　　teaching，homework is not accomplishing its purpose.Because school is

　　becoming

　　increasingly

　　more

　　competitive

　　and

　　challenging，homework is becoming a setback rather than extra practice.Its

　　removal would benefit the well­being of teenagers as well as encourage them to get out in the “real world” and discover themselves instead of staring at a pile of assignments.

　　【语篇解读】　这是一篇议论文。学生在学校上了一天的课，回到家里还要担心家庭作业。本文评论了“家庭作业”这一现象，认为学生放学后应该有时间进行各种社会活动，而不是回家就埋头做与自己的生活无关的家庭作业。家庭作业会削弱学生的社会生存能力。

　　5．Students are wasting their time on insignificant homework because________．

　　A．they are working on it carelessly and hurriedly

　　B．they attempt to get only part of the information memorized

　　C．they spend too much time doing it without understanding

　　D．they fail to take in the information after finishing it

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。由第二段中的“attempting to memorize the concepts for the time

　　being and do not absorb any of the information afterward”可知，学生虽然一直在忙着做作业，但是他们仅仅将它当成任务去完成，而并没有吸收任何知识或信息，因此选D。]

　　6．Many parents think that teachers should ________．

　　A．help students integrate the homework

　　B．simplify what they teach in the classroom

　　C．reduce homework to develop students' own interests

　　D．assign more effective homework for students

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。由第二段中的“In their eyes，if less homework is assigned，students would have less stress and could focus more on their

　　passions and hobbies”C。]

　　7．From the third paragraph，we can infer that homework might ________．

　　A．leave students lack of job opportunities

　　B．make students lose the sense of responsibilities

　　C．weaken students' social adaptation ability

　　D．cause students to feel lost after graduation

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。第三段说，如果给学生布置家庭作业，那么他们就没时间参与社区服务、课外活动等，就不能了解“real world”，如果没有家庭作业，学生就能在其他领域成长，因此选C，作者觉得布置家庭作业会削弱学生的社会适应能力。]

　　8．The author insists that homework should be ________．

　　A．made simpler and easier

　　B．completely cancelled

　　C．connected with social activities

　　D．switched over to subject competitions

　　(2017·唐山二模)Scientists predict that one of the world's coldest countries could be covered by thick forests instead of frozen ice sheets by the end of the century，as climate change brings about the “greening of Greenland”．

　　Today only four types of trees grow on the island，limited to small areas in the south.More than three­quarters of Greenland is covered by ice.

　　But by the year 2100，“Greenland could become a lot greener，”says Professor Smith from Aarhus University in Denmark.“Pine tree forests like those in Alaska and Canada will be able to spread over most of Greenland.And it will provide new opportunities for local people.”

　　The research published in the Journal of Biological Sciences shows that，with expected levels of warming，many North American and European trees and bushes will be able to thrive in now ice­covered areas of central and northern Greenland.The speed of forest growth will increase as the

　　planet warms and new trees could cover more than 400，000 square kilometres—an area almost the size of Sweden—by the end of the century.

　　The change is likely to alter Greenland's environment greatly，leading to the loss of Arctic animals and plants.

　　On the other hand，there could be significant commercial benefits for farming and tourism.Humans could play an active

　　role in the greening of Greenland by helping to spread new

　　plant types，says Prof.Smith.

　　“People love growing plants，whether for food or beauty；it's human nature，” he says.“This could help plant life spread throughout Greenland more quickly.This certainly has positive aspects for local industry and the economy.”

　　However，Prof.Smith warns that，besides all these benefits，there are also risks involved in introducing new plants and animals.“If it is not done carefully，the new life forms could spread in an uncontrolled way as no animals or competing plants have evolved to keep their spread in check.”

　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了格陵兰岛将因气候变暖在不久后被森林覆盖的情况，同时也探讨了这种情况的好处与弊端。

　　9．According to the passage，in what direction is the “greening of Greenland” most likely to occur?

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。由第二段第一句话“Today only four types of trees grow on the island，limited to small areas in the south”和第四段第一句话可知，现在只在岛南端的小片区域生长着树木，(随着气候变暖)树木会遍布现在冰雪覆盖的中部及北部。结合选项可知应选A项。]

　　10．Which of the following is mentioned as a likely result of the “greening of Greenland”？

　　A．Fewer people will be able to live there.

　　B．There will be more Arctic animals living there.

　　C．The local tree types will die out at a high speed.

　　D．New forests about the size of Sweden will appear.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。由第四段最后一句话可知，到本世纪末新生长的森林将覆盖大约一个瑞典大小的土地面积，故选D项。]

　　11．Prof.Smith's attitude towards the expected changes in

　　Greenland's environment can be described as ________．

　　A．positive

　　B．negative

　　C．objective

　　D．disappointed

　　(2017·济南三校高三一模)As I sat at school，my best friend grabbed my phone and tried to unlock it.After a few guesses she said，“What's your password？”

　　“I'm not telling you，” I responded.She begged，“I just want to look at your pictures.” I stood my ground.She asked me why I was so protective of my phone.I tried to answer，but felt a little confused myself.No one else cared about that much，and it wasn't like I had anything to hide.I realized that people could learn whatever they wanted about me from my phone because of all the pictures and information I stored in it.

　　On the new iPhone 5S，there's a fingerprint scanner as an optional precaution (预防措施) for those who want to use it.When my dad got the 5S，the first thing I did when he wasn't looking was put my fingerprint into his phone.The added security technology gave my dad a false sense of security.That was shattered (粉碎) when I picked up my dad's phone，and he said “Your fingerprint won't work，only mine” with a smug look on his face，which quickly

　　disappeared

　　when

　　his

　　phone

　　“magically” opened for me.I could tell that he felt as though the privacy of his phone was violated.I let him worry for about five minutes，and then I showed him how I put my fingerprint

　　his

　　phone

　　when

　　Let's go back to my original issue.I feel so protective of the information on my phone because we live in a world where we're constantly connected，and anyone can learn whatever he or she wants about us in just a minute.I didn't believe my brother when he said “Welcome to the world of never being not connected” to me when I got my first phone，but that is exactly the world we live in today.
