专题七非谓语动词

一、句子成分

组成句子的各个部分叫句子成分。英语中句子成分有主语，谓语，表语，宾语，宾语补足语，定语，状语等。 在句子中的顺序一般是主语，谓语，宾语，宾语补足语，而表语，定语，状语的位置要根据情况而定。 1.主语

主语是句子主要说明的人或事物，一般由名词，代词，数词，不定式等充当。 Tom is good at playing football. 汤姆擅长踢足球。 2.谓语

谓语主要说明主语的动作，状态或特征。由动词(或短语动词)构成，可以有不同的时态，语态和语气。 We are studying English now. 我们现在正在学英语。 3.表语

表语是谓语的一部分，它位于系动词be之后，说明主语的身份，特征，属性或状态。一般由名词，代词，形容词，副词，不定式，介词短语等充当。 We are Chinese. 我们是中国人。 4.宾语

宾语表示动作或行为的对象，跟在及物动词之后。能作宾语的有:名词，代词，数词，动词不定式等。 另外，有些及物动词可以带两个宾语，往往一个指人，一个指物，指人的叫间接宾语，指物的叫直接宾语。 He gave me a book. 他给我一本书。

有些及物动词的宾语后面还需要有一个补足语，意思才完整，宾语和它的补足语构成复合宾语。 We elected him monitor. 我们选他做班长。 5.定语

在句中修饰名词或代词的成分叫定语。用作定语的主要是形容词，代词，数词，名词，副词，动词不定式，介词短语等。形容词，代词，数词，名词等作定语时，通常放在被修饰词的前面。 He is a new student. 他是个新生。

但副词，动词不定式，介词短语等作定语时，则通常放在被修饰词之后。 The bike in the room is mine. 房间里的自行车是我的。 6.状语

修饰动词，形容词，副词以及全句的句子成分，叫做状语。用作状语的通常是副词，介词短语，不定式和从句等。状语一般放在被修饰的词之后或放在句尾。副词作状语时可放在被修饰的词前或句首。 We will have the meeting in the big hall. 我们将在那个大厅里开会。 7. 同位语

用于说明前面某一个名词或代词的内容的成分就叫同位语。通常由名词、名词词组、反身代词、同位语从句充当。

Tom, monitor of our class, is always doing well in the exam. 汤姆，我们班的班长，考试总是考得很好。 二、句子种类

从句子的结构来讲，句子分为简单句，并列句和复合句三类。 （一） 简单句

由一个主语（或者并列主语）和一个谓语（或者并列谓语）所构成的句子叫简单句。简单句分为陈述句、疑问句、祈使句、感叹句四种。 1. 陈述句

凡是说明一件事情,指出看法，或者表达一种心情的句子是陈述句。陈述句分为肯定句和否定句。尤其注意由否定词构成的否定句;两者全部否定用neither或nor；两者的部分否定用not+both；三者以上的否定用none, nothing, nobody, no one等。 Neither John nor Mary is here. 约翰和玛丽都不在这里。

Nobody agrees with what you said. 没有人同意你所说的话。

同时还要注意否定转移的情况，这类动词主要有think, believe, suppose, feel, expect等，但是hope不发生否定转移。

I don’t think he has time to play with me. 我想他没有时间和我玩。 I hope you weren’t ill. 我想你没生病吧。 2. 疑问句

疑问句用以提出问题，按结构分为四类：一般疑问句，特殊疑问句，反义疑问句和选择疑问句。 (1) 一般疑问句：对某一情况是否属实提出疑问，一般用yes或no来回答，有两种形式： be/have+主语+其他？

助动词（情态动词）+主语+行为动词+其他？

(2) 特殊疑问句：用疑问词（what, who, how, why, when, where ...）提问，一般有两种结构:疑问词+一般疑问句型结构。 What are you doing? 你正在做什么？

疑问词作主语或主语的定语时用陈述语序。 What is your name? 你叫什么名字。

(3) 反意疑问句：表示提问者有一定的主观看法，但没有把握，希望对方来证实;有四种形式：前肯定后否定、前否定后肯定、前后都肯定、前后都否定，较为常用的有两种：前肯定后否定、前否定后肯定。 注意：

①反意疑问句的回答应该以事实为依据，而不能依照中文的习惯回答。 —He isn’t a student, is he? 他不是一名学生，是吗？

—No. He isn’t.(是啊，他不是学生。) /Yes. He is.（不，他是个学生。） ②注意反意疑问句否定提前时的情况。 I dont think he is honest, is he? 我认为他不诚实，是吗？

③一般来说句子里包含表示否定的副词，反意疑问部分选用肯定式; 如果包含的是表示否定的动词则不遵循此规则。

He has never been to the US, has he? 他从来没到过美国，是吗？

He dislikes such a man, doesn’t he? 他不喜欢像这样的人，是不是？

④在并列句中，反意疑问句部分要和第二个分句保持一致。

She isn’t a diligent student, for it is the third time that she has been late for school, isn’t it?

她不是一个勤奋的学生，因为这是她第三次迟到了，是不是？

⑤反意疑问句的构成形式为：主语+表示想法的状态动词+宾语从句，如果主句主语为第一人称，反意疑问

的为宾语从句的主语；如果主句的主语为二、三人称，那么反意疑问的为主句的主语。 I don’t think he is lazy, is he? 我认为他不懒惰，是吗？

You all know that he is honest, don’t you? 你们都知道他诚实，是不是？

注意：英语口语中常用句型: （主语）祈使句 ...等+will you?往往表示一种建议、命令、恳求等，与反意疑问句有点相似。

You clean the floor today, will you? 今天你擦地，好吗？

Those boys over there please come here, will you? 那边的那些男孩来这里，好吗？ （4） 选择疑问句：形式上与一般疑问句相似，但里面包含两个答案，用“or”连接，不能简单地用yes/no回答。

Are you from Scotland or England? 你是来自苏格兰还是英格兰？ 3. 祈使句

祈使句表示请求、命令、叮嘱、号召等，谓语动词用原形。当说话对象是第二人称时，一般省略主语，但如果要特别强调对方或表达某种情绪时可以有主语或加称呼语。若说话对象是第一人称或第三人称时，常用“Let+宾语+动词原形”。 Don’t be careless! 别粗心大意！ You be quiet! 你给我安静点！

Let’s go now, shall we? 让我们现在走吧，好吗？ Let us go now, will you? 我们现在走吧，怎么样？ 4. 感叹句

感叹句表示喜怒哀乐等情绪，句末用“！”；多用what或how引起：what用来修饰名词；how用来修饰形容词、副词或动词。

What a beautiful park it is！ 那是一个多么美丽的公园呀！ How beautiful the park is！ 那个公园多美呀！ （二）并列句

包含有两个或更多互不依从的主谓结构的句子，就是并列句。并列句的分句通常由一个并列连词来连接。 常见的并列连词有and, but, though, however, while, or, for, so, therefore, not only ...but also ..., either ...or ...等。

It is raining outside, so we will stay at home. 外面正在下雨，因此我们待在家里。

He couldn’t go to school, for he was poor. 他不能去上学，因为他很穷。

Jane was dressed in brown while Mary was dressed in blue. 珍妮穿着棕色的衣服，而玛丽穿的衣服是蓝色的。 （三）复合句

如果一个句子包含两个或者更多的主谓结构，其中一个（或更多）主谓结构充当句子的某一（些）成分，就是复合句。充当句子成分的主谓结构称为从句，从句只能是句子的一个成分，不能独立，常由从属连词引出，总是用陈述语序。根据从句在句子中的作用，可分为名词性从句，形容词性从句（定语从句）和副词性从句（状语从句）三类。

Whether she will come or not is still a question.

她是否会来仍是个问题。

The question is who can complete the difficult task. 问题是谁能完成这个困难的工作。

Do you know who (whom) they are waiting for? 你知道他们在等谁吗？

The doctor whom you are looking for is in the room. 你正在找的那个医生在房间里。

When he was eating his breakfast, he heard the doorbell ring. 当他正在吃早饭时，听到门铃响了。

例1:He must be helping the old man to water the flowers, ?(2019·陕西） A. is he B. isnt he C. must he D. mustn’t he

解析:选B。must表示推测时，反意疑问句的助动词与must后面的动词相呼应，但有时间状语时，反意疑问句的助动词应根据时间状语来确定。

例2:Please do me a favour- my friend Mr. Smith to Youth Theater at 7:30 tonight.(2019·湖南)

A. to invite B. inviting C. Invite D. invited

解析:选C。句中破折号表示解释说明，空格处表示的语气应为祈使意义，所以用动词原形。

例3:You and I could hardly work together, ?（2019·湖南） A. could you B. couldn’t I C. couldn’t we D. could we

解析:选D。根据主语you and I可以判断，反意疑问部分主语应为第一人称复数，又因为题干中出现了否定副词hardly，所以反意疑问部分用肯定形式。

例4:It’s the first time that he has been to Australia, ?（2019·辽宁） A. isn’t he B. hasn’t he C. isn’t it D. Hasn’t it

解析:选C。该句主语和谓语动词分别是it和is，所以反意疑问部分用isn’t it。 例5:—I wonder you’ll water this kind of flower. —Every other day.（2019·四川） A. how often B. how long C. how soon D. how much

解析:选A。根据下一句的回答可知,此处问的是频率，故应用how often提问。

例6:At first he hated the new job but decided to give himself a few months to see it got any better.（2019·北京）

A. when B. how C. why D. if

解析:选D。if在此引导宾语从句，意为“是否”。

例7:Stand over there you’ll be able to see the oil painting better.(2019·全国Ⅱ) A. but B. till C. and D. or 解析:选C。分析句子结构可知，此句为“祈使句+and+陈述句”结构。

例8:You didn’t use to like him much when we were at school, ?(2019·上海春) A. were we B. weren’t we C. did you D. didn’t you

解析:选C。句中的主语和谓语动词分别是you和didnt use to，所以反意疑问部分应为did you。

例9:In some places women are expected to earn money men work at home and raise their children.(2019·四川)

A. but B. while C. because D. though 解析:选B。由并列连词while连接两个简单句，表示对比。

例10: the website of the Fire Department in your city, and you will learn a lot about Firefighting.(2019·湖南)

A. Having searched B. To search

C. Searching D. Search

解析:选D。分析句子结构可知，此句为“祈使句+and+陈述句”结构。

\way, good people, make way, in the King's name! \he. \a text; and, I promise you, Mistress Prynne shall be set where man, woman, and child, may have a fair sight of her brave clothing, from this time till an hour past noon. A blessing on the moral Colony of the Massachusetts, where immorality is dragged out into the sunshine! Come along, Madam Hester, and show your scarlet （鲜红色的；罪孽深重的）letter in the market-place!

A lane was at once opened through the crowd. Led by the beadle （狱吏），and attended by an irregular procession of serious-looking men and unkind-looking women, Hester Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment. A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of the matter in hand, except that it gave them a half-holiday, ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face, and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the shameful letter on her breast.

It was no great distance, in those days, from the prison-door to the market-place. Measured by the prisoner's experience, however, it might be considered to be a rather long journey; for, though her manner was proud, she perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every footstep of those who thronged to see her, as if her heart had been thrown into the street for them all to step upon. In our nature, however, there is a condition that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that rankles （使痛心）after it. With almost a calm manner, therefore, Hester Prynne passed through this portion of her suffering, and came to a sort of scaffold （刑台），at the western end of the market-place. It stood nearly beneath the eaves of Boston's earliest church, and appeared to be a fixture there.

24. What can we know about the schoolboys?

A. They knew a little of the matter.

B. They were full of curiosity and eagerness. C. They were happy for having a one-day holiday. D. They like Hester Prynne and her baby very much.

25. What does the underlined word “thronged\

A. Gathered.

B. Happened. C. Pretended. D. Regretted.

26. What can we know from paragraph 3?

A. The prison was really far from the market-place.

B. The scaffold is at the eastern end of the market-place.

C. Hester Prynne was thrown into the street for people to step on.

D. The sufferer mainly knows the intensity of the pain after the suffering. 27. What would probably happen to Hester Prynne according to the text?

A. She would be set free.

B. She would give a public speech. D. She would receive serious punishment.

C. She would put on a performance. 24-27BADD

In areas like the Central United States that get lots of tornadoes, theres a common piece of celestial （天上的）fortune-telling that green skies mean a tornado is on its way. Research

’

has shown that it isnt quite as simple as that, but scientists have found that if you see a green sky, you should probably go inside. As far as most scientists can tell, the green skies around powerful thunderstorms are usually a combination of red sunsets and water droplets. Daytime skies are blue because blue shorter wavelengths of visible light tend to bounce off （反射）air molecules better than red longer wavelength light. So the blue light gets bounced all over the sky and looks like it's coming from everywhere. Meanwhile, around sunset sunlight travels through so much atmosphere that just about all the blue is bounced away from the horizon, leaving all those reds and oranges behind. The sunset might look exclusively （独有的）red and orange, but there's still some green and even blue light hidden in there, just far less than the other colors. But for us to notice the remaining green light, itneeds to hit something that reflects green light much better than red. That’s where water comes in.

Big tall threatening storm clouds are made of water droplets, and even though water is best at reflecting blue light, it can still reflect green pretty well, much better than reds and oranges, so under just the right conditions, the water in and around a cloud can bounce the green light hidden in the sunset right into our eyes making the sky look green.

Still, none of the conditions that can turn skies green are unique to the clouds that produce tornadoes. Sometimes they just lead to lots of rain, and maybe some hail. So if you see huge

’

storm clouds rolling in and a green tint （色调）in the sky, it doesn’t necessarily mean theres about to be a tornado, but it does mean you should probably head indoors.

28. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Why Do the Central United States Get Tornadoes B. Do Green Skies Mean a Coming Tornado C. A Common Piece of Celestial Fortune-telling D. Green Skies Are Unique to Clouds 29. Why are the skies blue in the daytime?

A. Because only blue light can be bounced in the daytime. B. Because there is more blue light than light of other colors.

’

C. Because blue light is bounced all over the sky. D. Because red light is weaker than blue light.

30. What does the underlined word \

A. The sunset.

B. Red light. C. Blue light. D. Water.

31. What can we learn about from the text?

A. Storm clouds are made of water droplets and green light. B. Water can reflect red light as well as blue light. C. There are only red and orange lights in the sunsets. D. If you see a green sky, there will be a tornado.

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the world's longest sea-based project, comprises four parts: a 22.9-kilometer steel bridge, two artificial islands, a submerged sea tunnel extending for 6.7 kilometers, as well as leading bridges that connect the bridge to the cities. For a bridge project, designers prefer to build all the structure on the ground, and only choose the tunnel when there is no alternative. However, for the HZMB, the most practical design is to integrate bridge, island and tunnel to form a complete cross-sea channel.

\Pearl River Estuary （河口）holds a world-level shipping channel. Smooth traffic should be guaranteed. And the location is near the Hong Kong International Airport. With about 2,000 flights taking off and landing at the airport, the bridge cannot be built too high for safety

5 “

reasons/said Meng Fanchao, chief designer of the project.But you cannot have a submerged sea tunnel without any support. That forced us to build the artificial islands.”

Chinese engineers declared a trail in installing deep-immersed tunnel tubes. There is no

9,

model for us to refer to as all the cases are shallow-buried tubes, said Meng.

\Haiqing, deputy manager of the Project Management Department. ''Everyone was exhausted when we made it.”

The 6.7-kilometer tunnel is the world's longest submerged sea tunnel.

Two artificial islands, covering an area of 200,000 square meters, help create a smooth transition between bridge sections and tunnels. Different from traditional island, the engineers put 120 steel cylinders （圆柱）with a 22-meter diameter （直径）into the seabed, make out the shape of an island, and fill the island with soil. It is an innovative way they adopted to build the artificial island, making it firmer, more efficient and friendly to the marine ecology. The HZMB provides a fixed link between the two Chinese economic centres Hong Kong and Macau and the mainland of China at Zhuhai.

32. Why isn't the bridge built too high?

6t

A. The bridge hasn't any support. C. The engineers lack experience.

B. It isn't safe to build it too high. D. The engineers want to make it special.

33. What can we know about the HZMB from the text?

A. All the structure of the HZMB is built on the ground. B. The 6.7-kilometre tunnel is the world's longest tunnel. C. The HZMB is the first to install deep-immersed tunnel tubes.

D. The installation of the first tunnel tube failed for the first time. 34. What’s the function of two artificial islands?

A. To declare a trail in building a sea-based bridge.

B. To prevent the pollution from affecting the marine ecology. C. To ensure smooth traffic between bridge sections and tunnels. D. To guarantee the safety of the ships going through the estuary. 35. What type of writing is this text?

A. An advertisement. B. Science fiction. C. An announcement. D. A news report. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）已选

Tipping is part of everyday life in many parts of the world. It’s usually an informal charge that's paid on top of the bill to show appreciation to the person who has provided you a service. Tipping culture can vary from place to place. In the Middle East, people who serve usually try to be more helpful. 36 . An example is the tour guides of Egypt. When a tourist goes around a famous site in Egypt like the pyramids, they11 often be accompanied by a very qualified tour guide. Thanks to the guide, a tourist will certainly know more about the pyramids than he or

she did at the start. 37 .

In some places, tipping doesn't exist at all. Tips aren't part of life in China, South Korea or Japan. But in other places in Asia, not leaving a tip can lead to trouble. An American travel agent told Conde Nast Traveler that in India, for example, a person who doesn't leave a tip after a meal in a restaurant will often be chased down the street. 38 , he said.

Many people only give tips on a subjective （主观的）basis. But it’s this subjective aspect to tipping that can cause problems. On the one hand, they don't want to be mean; on the other hand, they don't want to pay too much and feel that they've been cheated. 39 .

A common solution for this problem is to offer a guideline on the check. 40. This can prevent the awkwardness when it's time to pay up.

’

A. Tips are then given to appreciate the expertise of the guide B. If you tip badly, people think less of you C. They'll run after you and scream for money

D. It will suggest that a certain percentage of the bill should be paid on top as a tip E. Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip F. After all, a tip isn't part of the bill G. But they may expect a little extra in return

How to Choose the Right Barcelona Accommodation for Your Needs

Many people automatically think of a hotel as their first choice for their Barcelona accommodation but actually there are several other options which could give you other advantages.

?A holiday apartment or a hotel?

Staying in a holiday apartment is something that most tourists never even think about. And yet who would not rather stay in their own exclusive

apartment, with all the modern conveniences of home and yet pay the same asstandardhotel room ? If you are visiting as a group or more than 3 people, then staying in an apartment works out actually cheaper than a hotel.

?What 's the best accommodation option for groups or families?

Are you coming to Barcelona as a family or group? If so then why not an Aparthotel ? Aparthotels offer a cost effective alternative for families or groups that want to be together and they offer you several advantages over a hotel . Aparthotels usually have an en-suite kitchen with a cooker and a fridge that enable you to prepare and store food .

56.What is among the advantages of holiday apartments and Aparthotels over hotels?

A.They make you more comfortable. B. They off er you better service. C. They allow you greater freedom. D. They reduce your expenses.

57. Which of the following can be the advice that the text gives visitors to Barcelona ?

A. They should not always depend on hotels there. B. They should pay a visit to Barcelona as a group.

C. They should stay in holiday apartments or Aparthotels there.

D. They should take full advantage of Aparthotels ' facilities there.

B The wish to have or be something , especially one that seems difficult to achieve is desire, which you were born with , in every one of us. What all mankind seeks , whether it is admitted or not , is for a life of significance.

For any youth , to live a life of significance, he or she needs a focus to achieve his or her dreams or goals in life, but many who have eyes perish(消亡) for lack of vision , thoughsometimes we need to be blind before we can truly see. Most young people are dreamers , living in their dreams and forgetting that a dream is not something that makes you up, but something thatwakes you up. Some sleep while theylive; others live what they dream.

Someone once said, \

and they live in a state of constant amazement.\热诚的） about living and experiencing life on this planet of wonder— planet created by an act of wonder. We need people awake to wake us up and to draw us out of fantasy. The best dreams come true when you are awake.

People awake are interesting and usually energetic. They are the kind of people you just like to be around. They seem to sense the awesomeness of life and they have a tendency to make it spread from person to person. The reason many people fail is not for lack of vision, but for lack of determination.

George Bernard Shaw once said, \of things that never were and ask why not.\in your heart, which makes you stay awake and work earnestly to achieve it? The bigger your demand for life, the bigger the response. Life itself sets no limits. 58. We can conclude from the passage that people awake are those.

A.who ignore their dreams B.who are active in thinking C.who struggle for their goals D.who desire a significant life

59. How to react to your dreams depends on .

A . your living environment C. your attitude towards life

B. how big your ambition is

D. how much you will invest

60. Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage?

A. Realistic Dreams C. Young Dreamers

C

The first thing sold online was a CD. It was sold in 1994 for $12. 48. In 1995, Amazon launched its online bookshop, and later that year the online auction site that would become eBay sold its first item. Fast-forward to the modern day and online shopping is huge business. In contrast to the recent UK announcements that many high-popularity retail (零售） chains and department stores need to close retail outlets （专营店） to save money, online shopping is booming. In fact, the UK Office for National Statistics reported that growth in online sales has continued \

Maybe订s the convenience. Online shopping allows you to find what you need from the comfort of your own home. Then there's the variety. The wise shopper is able to select from a wide range of products from all over the world—while physical shops suffer from a more limited choice.

B. Awake or Asleep? D. Life of Significance

Better yet, consumers are now better able to specify exactly what they want, and in some cases, even modify products to create specially-made items.

Online companies are getting better at targeted advertising too. Our browsing (网上浏览） history and previous purchases are run through a series of mathematical steps, which produce advertisements that more closely link consumers to the products companies believe we would like to buy. And since these products are not physically on display in a shop, the company saves money on regular expenses like rent and electricity. This allows them to offer their products at a more reasonable price.

Then there's the reassurance. These days, the majority of online shops offer a safe, convenient returns policy, often at no shipping cost to the buyer—just print out the return label (标签），attach it to the packaging of the item and receive a full refund(退款). Not only that, but trouble-free complaint procedures and policies mean that if your item is damaged, incorrect or even unwanted, the company can be easily notified and action taken.

Many people still enjoy the experience of buying in a real shop. The dialogue and customer service received from staff and special events that may be taking place in store can be big pulls. However, the \for National Statistics, seems to imply that online retail is here to stay and will continue to be a major avenue to shopping for many customers. 61. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell us .

A.traditional shops in the UK have been declining B.online sales have the advantage of retail chains C.the rapid development of online sales in the UK D.the short history of online sales all over the world

62. The benefit from online shopping mentioned in the passage is that

A.you might get something wonderful at an expensive price B.you can do shopping without leaving your off ice C.there are more options in physical shops than online D.what you need can be tailored to meet your demands

63. It can be learnt from the passage that

A.most online shops offer you worry-free after-sales service B.you need not pay for shipping when doing shopping online C.online shops'ads aim at attracting new online customers D.online shops'low operating costs result from cheap labour

64. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Physical shops are struggling hard for survival.

B.Some people find pleasure in face-to-face trading. C.Online shops will finally replace physical shops. D.Full-scale online trading keeps growing annually.

D

\—the lead story from my last issue of Power & Presence-drew comments from several readers. Most of the comments went something like, \I could have the degree of control over my life that you apparently do.\

I want to say, I wish I had the degree of control over my life that it apparently looks like I have.

Earlier this summer, several of my 20-something neighbors who live in the apartments next door had a long and lively conversation in their back yard, which lies just beneath our bedroom window—wide open on this particular warmish night. The conversation included drinks of one type or another CI simply made some guesses), the containers for which, when emptied, got thrown (loudly) into a recycle container. The absurd took place between 2: 30 and 3: 30 a. m.

I debated for a while whether I should get up, dress, go next door, and have a conversation of my own. After tossing (扔硬币决定） and turning for about 15 minutes, I decided to communicate through my open window. I got up, and—I believe in a

fairly centered way-called out, \please.\They heard me, I think, since their voices quieted a bit. And while the cans continued to go into the recycles, they did so with perhaps a bit less energy.

But the damage was done, the horse out of the barn. What were my chances of getting back to sleep? I tossed and turned for another half hour but couldn't find my way back. I got up, walked the house, let out curses, and finally began to notice light dawning and birds singing around 4: 45. I lay down again and dozed (小睡） on and off between 5 and 8, and eventually got out of bed to face the day, tired.

I remembered my story about \连结） between my feelings and me. There wasn't much padding after a sleepless night. I talked to my husband. I honored my feelings. I even appreciated my neighbors'stupidness. I mean they're young adults having a summer outdoor party. Okay, it is the middle of the night, but I may have done similar stuff at that age. But in spite of my best efforts at reclaiming calmness, I mostly gave myself a pretty hard time about the fact that I'd written that story. Here I was having feelings. I can help others better manage their emotions, so why couldn't I manage my own? Why couldn't I make them go away?

I re-read my story. It helped. I didn't say I wasn't supposed to have feelings. I said I was supposed to be able to be aware enough to notice them and ride their waves. I said I wanted to make behavior choices based on my better instincts (本能） instead of acting out the emotion in unconstructive ways.

Then I understood that I wasn't upset with my neighbors any more; I was mad at myself for having such strong feelings. I was supposed to be \that\Because I teach and write about centering, I should be above these tiresome emotions.

In those moments of upset, I comprehended experientially that centering doesn't take emotions away. On the mat of life, as in aikido—a Japanese form of self-defense, the attack will come. It may come from the outside (my noisy neighbors) or the inside (strong feelings). How will I manage the energy? Will I freeze, fight, fall over, or move in toward the energy and use it wisely? I can be centered and upset. I hope, in fact, I am centered when I'm upset. When I'm centered I will hold the emotional energy differently. In time, as they always do, the feelings died down and transformed, much like the thunderstorm that also passed through that night. 65. What do most comments on the author's story suggest?

A. They disagree with her. B.They misunderstand her. C.They appreciate her story. D.They envy her self-control.

66. When the author called out to the young people, .

A.she tried to control her voice so as not to disturb other neighbors B.she shouted as loud as she could so that she could be heard clearly C.she intended to go and have a serious conversation with the crowd D.she expected them to make apologies for how they were behaving

67. What mental events can you see in the author's mind during the incident this summer?

A. Anxiety and regret. C Anger and hesitation.

B. Despair and tension. D. Forgiveness and wish.

68. What does the author mean by saying that she even appreciated her neighbors'stupidness?

A.It brought back lots of happy memories of her youth. B.It reminded her how she should react to such a matter. C.It was a good example to support her idea in her story. D.It helped her realize the actual existence of stupidness.

69. The underlined phrase \

A.release them fully from you B.hide them from other people C.deal with them in a proper way D.promote an exchange of them

70. What did the author emphasize at the end of the passage?

A.The effect of strong feelings. B.The consequence of centering. C.The harm of becoming upset. D.The way of solving conflicts.

第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

Being in a team involves making attachments to other members of the team. Some of these attachments might develop to become secure and safe, while others might be characterised by tension or insecurity. Sometimes we might even disconnect ourselves from the team or from an individual team member, making us unable to form constructive relationships.

We know from the research of Harvard Business School Professor Amy Edmondson that the level of trust and psychological safety in a group can separate the great teams from the rest. When studying surgical teams at several hospitals in the U.S. , Edmondson found that the surgical teams delivering the best results were the same teams that committed the most errors. But why did the best teams also report more mistakes and \The team members trusted each other and had formed sufficiently secure attachments, making it safe to say \\

Trust is essential for the high-performing team. In the long run, no team will survive without it. Team dynamics will instead turn into the dynamics of a \is more focused on his/her own lines and ambitions, and where many of the most important decisions are made backstage. The team meets and talks about what is on the agenda, but everyone knows that core issues are avoided or silenced.

Basically, team members have to speed up trust building in ever-changing teams as follows.

Share concerns and be respectful and present when team members do the same.

Remember that most people are highly aware of other team members'reactions when self-disclosing (自我表露) . So as a listener, looking on your phone or zooming out when another team member is sharing something important might have a much more negative effect next time around than you'd like to think. They might think \a team meeting, and not just with Tom and Lisa afterwards, since they are the only ones that seem interested in what I have to say\

Give regular feedback (反馈） to each other, not only on results, but also on effort. As the research of Stanford University Professor Carol Dweck shows, giving feedback on effort and persistence can foster (促进） a higher willingness for individuals to take on new challenges and believe in their own potential. Focusing only on results of ten raises defensiveness and fear of failure in many.

Show a willingness to learn. Discuss mistakes, \misses\and learning opportunities at every opportunity. Let the arrivals know that you want to learn from their previous experience. Create a climate of continuous improvement, for example, by conducting evaluations as a part of every team meeting or project completion.

Building Trust in Ever-changing Teams

Contrast between two typesof working relationship Trust—an important (73) of a highly effective team ? A good working relationship within a team leads to a safeand pleasant working (71). ? With poor relationships, group members (72) from awful feelings. ? Perfect trust is the (74)between strong teams and weak teams. ?

The topic of my speech today is \—a generation born in the 2000s\

Living in an environment full of fiercer competition, we, a generation born in the 2000s, are faced with problems of entering higher schools and getting employed. Under these

circumstances, we are developing our special manners and values, which has raised people's concern.

They worry that we care too much about ourselves and are unwilling to cooperate with others, which makes it hard for us to achieve success in whatever we do. Also, they consider us as lacking in determination, and this is what it takes to do any job well. Without it, we may easily give up in face of difficulty.

However, we have our own advantages. Firstly, we have the courage to meet challenges and take risks, which helps us realize our dreams. Besides, we are quickminded and creative. We can do our work more efficiently. Yet, we still need to learn more from those experienced. Please do trust us!

That's all. Thank you for your listening! (150词)

In our rapidly changing world，we value speed and efficiency(效率)，However，there’ssomething to be gained by being slow．When I first started giving presentations to largeaudiences，I was a rapid communicator．With my mind racing a mile a minute，I tried to sayeverything I knew about a topic to be thorough，but I noticed the crowd didn’t follow．Now，I have only one note to myself that I need as a reminder before beginning a presentation：“PAUSE”．I’ll set aside more time for questions and get more audience participation to assessthe 1evel in which my message has been understood．With pauses and the right speed，clearmessage appears，often with fewer words．

There is another chance to slow down．Slowing down can make you more aware of theSimpledangers of walking and falling．Falls can be one major cause of hurts and deaths in oldage．Thus，taking time to walk down steps，avoiding a tripping(绊倒)danger or being awareof slippery surfacesis important at any age．

Today，there’re parts of our life that stress the benefitsof being slow.And as we age，we might see the benefits of slowing down a little bit．While we often seek to prevent theprocess of aging，one necessityand potential benefit of aging may be to appreciate the benefitsof slowing，enjoy the here and now alittle bit more，and not to worry so much about thefuture． 28．How does technology affect younger people accordingto the author?

B.In paragraph 2． C．In paragraph 3． D．In paragraph 4． 31．What is suggested in the last paragraph? A．Good things are worth appreciating slowly． B.Being slow is becoming a popular lifestyle． C.Few people know how to enjoy being slow．

D.The old tend to enjoy the benefit of slowing more．

Humans have always considered themselves special compared with other animals．One reason is the complexity of our language-bounded by unique rules，such as syntax，where we string words together in a specific order to create meaningful sentences．But it turns out a bird may also vocalize(发声)with syntax rules．

The Japanese great tit is a bird that’s a close relative of North America’s very own chickadee．Toshitaka Suzuki of Japan’s Graduate University for Advanced Studies has beenlistening to the calls of the Japanese great tit for the past decade．Suzuki has recorded at leastten types of alarm calls used by the bird．One of those is known as the ABC call，which warnsother great tits of the presence of a predator(捕食者)，and another is the D call，which signalsthe birds to approach the caller．

Now Suzuki and his colleagues have found that the great tit uses those calls together to deliver both messages to other birds．And they found that the order of that call was vital-only ABC-D call made sense to the birds．When the scientists intentionally changed the order to create a D-ABC call，the birds did not respond．The study is published in the journal Nature Communications．

“I think the really interesting thing is why the order matters，and figuring that out I think will be difficult but also potentially really，really interesting，because it'll give a lot of deep understanding．．．”said David Wheatcroft of Sweden’s Uppsala University, a member of the study scientists．“You wouldn’t expect that it would matter．Obviously it matters in human language，the order in which we say things，but it's still somehow amazing when you find it in birds．So I think understanding why it’s the case will be really interesting in the future”

The work could help explain the evolution of the building blocks and structure(结构)of our own language．
