My biggest survival story lasted for six months — six months of physical and mental struggle.
On the first day, my mother talked as she drove towards the Foothills, near a town called Los Altos in California. She told me that the swimming coach she was taking me to was an Olympian, and she hoped that I was going to improve with the coach.
After driving for 30 minutes, we drove through the gate of what appeared to be an expensive club, and saw the coach waiting for me. “Get into lane four, and do it quickly — you’re late. I want you to freestyle while I talk to your mom.”
I think that was the fastest I’d ever gotten into a pool. But if I thought that was bad, then I had another thing coming.
Each day for the next week, the swimming training was so grueling that I could barely get myself out of the pool after the two-hour class. My coach would yell at me whenever I did something wrong or I was hesitant to perform a task. During the day I was so nervous about this woman, that even at school, I was constantly planning what to say and do at swim practice.
The only reason I stayed as long as I did was because of one girl, whom I met around two weeks into the program. People did not really want to talk when I tried to reach out to them. But this girl saw that I was alone and sat next to me while we were stretching (拉伸).
I “survived” the training because I had someone who could cheer me on and someone that I could have fun with but also be serious with. We stood up for each other when the coach called us out. Sometimes, it felt like it was us against the world when we were on that team. So finally, when we realized that this place just wasn’t for us, we both left and I’ve never seen her since. I obviously wouldn’t have died without her, but I definitely wouldn’t have improved so much as a swimmer and just as a person.
24. What do we know about the author’s swimming coach
A. She seems impatient with her students.
B. She is quite popular among her students.
C. She left a good first impression on the author.
D. She was an Olympian and is known for her freestyle swimming.
25. The underlined word “grueling” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. boring B. enjoyable C. exhausting D. meaningful
26. How did the author survive her training days
A. By practicing really hard.
B. With the help of a new friend.
C. By chatting with her teammates.
D. With the encouragement of her coach
C
Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying (联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public
Radio’s reporter Neal Conan “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually colorful, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion (情感) lie Are we, as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.”
27. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Jazz becoming more accessible.
B. The production of jazz growing faster.
C. Jazz being less popular with the young.
D. The jazz audience becoming larger.
28. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz
A. It will disappear gradually.
B. It remains black and white.
C. It should keep up with the times.
D. It changes every 50 years.
29. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Exploring the Future of Jazz
B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C. The Story of a Jazz Musician
D. Celebrating the Jazz Day
D
Phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide!” echo across American playgrounds. Coaches pass out ribbons to every participant. Scholar publishes a series called “I’m Special!” assuring readers that the ability to play with friends and sing songs makes them special indeed.
We’ve been told that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to children’s happiness and success, and we’ve been praising and protecting them ever since. But has the self-esteem movement gone too far Many experts argue that instead of raising healthy high achievers, maybe we’re raising a generation of narcissists(自我陶醉者). “Our old concepts of self-esteem are old-fashioned, and parents need to send the concept to the trash heap of all things outdated and useless,” says Aaron Cooper, co-author of I Just Want My Kids to be Happy.
While experts used to blame low self-esteem for everything from bad grades to criminal behavior, research has shown that inflated (膨胀的) self-esteem is more often the criminal. An article called “Rethinking Self-Esteem” by Roy made a stir when he supposed that criminals and drug abusers actually had higher self-esteem than the general population. Martin and Ervin found that the modern habit of constant praise was turning kids skeptical and unmotivated. And esteemed child development expert T. Barry recently wrote in The New York Times that the phrase “self-esteem” had lost its meaning. Parents just want their children to have a positive self-image. And while it’s easy to make fun of the extremes of the self-esteem movement, it’s difficult to walk the fine line between acquiring self-respect and self-centeredness.
Anyway, make it clear that while you have expectations for their behavior, you love and accept them unconditionally. True self-esteem isn’t about a steady stream of applause; it develops when children know their limits and responsibilities, are given enough opportunities to challenge themselves, and feel secure that they’re loved even when they fail.
30. What’s the purpose of using phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide!”
A. To attract readers’ attention. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To give the author’s opinion. D. To tell readers the key to happiness and success.
31. According to the text, which of the following statements is true
A. Children with high esteem are likely to be high achievers.
B. In children’s development high self-esteem plays a positive role.
C. High self-esteem makes kids motivated nowadays.
D. High self-esteem does harm to kids in a way.
32. What’s the author’s attitude towards high self-esteem
A. Subjective. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Negative

【解析】
【原文】W: A travel website conducted a survey on hotel complaints and found some unusual things. The site surveyed 400 hotel staff in 39 countries. It asked about the strangest things guests had asked for or complained about. Staff said that most of the unusual complaints were about food. Other requests were about rooms. Not every hotel room is to everybody’s taste, but the complaints in the Skyscanner survey were so strange that they make you wonder how the hotel staff answered. It would be impossible for any hotel to make some of these complaining guests happy. The complaints about food were very strange. One guest asked for 16 cucumbers a day. Another requested only the right leg of a chicken. The staff wondered if the left leg didn’t taste as nice as the right leg. One guest asked for something not normally on the menu — crocodile soup. Other complaints were totally crazy. A man at a luxury hotel in London complained that his room did not have a sea view. The nearest beach to London is about 75 kilometers away. Other guests wanted the toilet filled with mineral water, a bath full of honey and a discount because his girlfriend snored.

My biggest survival story lasted for six months — six months of physical and mental struggle.
On the first day, my mother talked as she drove towards the Foothills, near a town called Los Altos in California. She told me that the swimming coach she was taking me to was an Olympian, and she hoped that I was going to improve with the coach.
After driving for 30 minutes, we drove through the gate of what appeared to be an expensive club, and saw the coach waiting for me. “Get into lane four, and do it quickly — you’re late. I want you to freestyle while I talk to your mom.”
I think that was the fastest I’d ever gotten into a pool. But if I thought that was bad, then I had another thing coming.
Each day for the next week, the swimming training was so grueling that I could barely get myself out of the pool after the two-hour class. My coach would yell at me whenever I did something wrong or I was hesitant to perform a task. During the day I was so nervous about this woman, that even at school, I was constantly planning what to say and do at swim practice.
The only reason I stayed as long as I did was because of one girl, whom I met around two weeks into the program. People did not really want to talk when I tried to reach out to them. But this girl saw that I was alone and sat next to me while we were stretching (拉伸).
I “survived” the training because I had someone who could cheer me on and someone that I could have fun with but also be serious with. We stood up for each other when the coach called us out. Sometimes, it felt like it was us against the world when we were on that team. So finally, when we realized that this place just wasn’t for us, we both left and I’ve never seen her since. I obviously wouldn’t have died without her, but I definitely wouldn’t have improved so much as a swimmer and just as a person.
24. What do we know about the author’s swimming coach
A. She seems impatient with her students.
B. She is quite popular among her students.
C. She left a good first impression on the author.
D. She was an Olympian and is known for her freestyle swimming.
25. The underlined word “grueling” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. boring B. enjoyable C. exhausting D. meaningful
26. How did the author survive her training days
A. By practicing really hard.
B. With the help of a new friend.
C. By chatting with her teammates.
D. With the encouragement of her coach
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者学习游泳的艰苦生活,作者在一个新朋友的帮助下度过艰难的日子的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Get into lane four, and do it quickly — you’re late. (进入四道,而且要快,你晚了。)”根据第五段“My coach would yell at me whenever I did something wrong or I was hesitant to perform a task. ”(每当我做错了什么,或者我在执行任务时犹豫不决时,我的教练就会对我大喊大叫。)可知,作者的教练她似乎对学生没有耐心。故选A。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“I could barely get myself out of the pool after the two-hour class. (以至于在两个小时的训练之后,我几乎无法离开游泳池。)”可知,在上了两个小时的课后,我几乎都是精疲力尽,无法从游泳池里爬出来。所以该词的意思是“精疲力尽”。A. boring令人厌倦的;B. enjoyable 愉快的;C. exhausting使人精疲力竭的;D. meaningful有意义的。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段I“ “survived” the training because I had someone who could cheer me on and someone that I could have fun with but also be serious with. (我“挺过”了这次训练,因为有人可以给我加油,有人可以和我一起玩,也可以认真对待。)”可知,作者在一个新朋友的帮助下度过艰难的日子。故选B。

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying (联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public
Radio’s reporter Neal Conan “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually colorful, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion (情感) lie Are we, as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.”
27. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Jazz becoming more accessible.
B. The production of jazz growing faster.
C. Jazz being less popular with the young.
D. The jazz audience becoming larger.
28. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz
A. It will disappear gradually.
B. It remains black and white.
C. It should keep up with the times.
D. It changes every 50 years.
29. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Exploring the Future of Jazz
B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C. The Story of a Jazz Musician
D. Celebrating the Jazz Day
【答案】27. C 28. C 29. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了教科文组织将4月30日定为国际爵士乐节,让人们意识到爵士乐的意义与价值,以及改善爵士乐不受年轻人的欢迎的处境,探索爵士乐的未来。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations. (尽管有庆祝活动,但在美国,爵士乐的听众在不断萎缩,年龄也在不断增长,这种音乐也未能与年轻一代建立联系。)”可知,美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少,爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起来,再结合第三段中“It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that (正是Jason Moran的工作帮助改变那一情况)”可推测,that指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去吸引力的现象,故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same.” says Moran. (“今天的音乐不能以1908年或1958年的方式呈现。它必须继续前进,因为世界的运作方式已经不一样了,”莫兰说。)”可知,Moran认为现在爵士乐不能以 1908年 或1958年的方式来呈现,因为世界已经不同了,所以爵士乐必须不断进步。由此可知随着时代的发展,爵士乐也要跟上时代才不会被年轻一代所抛弃,故选C。
29题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据文章第二段“Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.” (尽管有庆祝活动,但是在美国,爵士乐的听众人数继续减少,年龄也越来越大,而且爵士乐也未能与年轻一代建立联系。)”可知,国际爵士乐节庆祝活动所带来的的效果甚微;文章第六段“Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same.” says Moran. (莫兰说今天爵士乐的问题之一是音乐的娱乐性已经丢失。“今天的音乐不能像1908年或1958年那样呈现。它必须继续前进,因为世界的运作方式不一样,”莫兰说。)”可知,世界在改变,爵士乐也应该随着世界的改变而改变,否则它将失去对人们的吸引力,因此本文主要讲述的是探索爵士乐的未来。故选A项。
D
Phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide!” echo across American playgrounds. Coaches pass out ribbons to every participant. Scholar publishes a series called “I’m Special!” assuring readers that the ability to play with friends and sing songs makes them special indeed.
We’ve been told that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to children’s happiness and success, and we’ve been praising and protecting them ever since. But has the self-esteem movement gone too far Many experts argue that instead of raising healthy high achievers, maybe we’re raising a generation of narcissists(自我陶醉者). “Our old concepts of self-esteem are old-fashioned, and parents need to send the concept to the trash heap of all things outdated and useless,” says Aaron Cooper, co-author of I Just Want My Kids to be Happy.
While experts used to blame low self-esteem for everything from bad grades to criminal behavior, research has shown that inflated (膨胀的) self-esteem is more often the criminal. An article called “Rethinking Self-Esteem” by Roy made a stir when he supposed that criminals and drug abusers actually had higher self-esteem than the general population. Martin and Ervin found that the modern habit of constant praise was turning kids skeptical and unmotivated. And esteemed child development expert T. Barry recently wrote in The New York Times that the phrase “self-esteem” had lost its meaning. Parents just want their children to have a positive self-image. And while it’s easy to make fun of the extremes of the self-esteem movement, it’s difficult to walk the fine line between acquiring self-respect and self-centeredness.
Anyway, make it clear that while you have expectations for their behavior, you love and accept them unconditionally. True self-esteem isn’t about a steady stream of applause; it develops when children know their limits and responsibilities, are given enough opportunities to challenge themselves, and feel secure that they’re loved even when they fail.
30. What’s the purpose of using phrases like “good sharing!” and “great job on the slide!”
A To attract readers’ attention. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To give the author’s opinion. D. To tell readers the key to happiness and success.
31. According to the text, which of the following statements is true
A. Children with high esteem are likely to be high achievers.
B. In children’s development high self-esteem plays a positive role.
C. High self-esteem makes kids motivated nowadays.
D. High self-esteem does harm to kids in a way.
32. What’s the author’s attitude towards high self-esteem
A. Subjective. B. Positive. C. Objective. D. Negative
【答案】30. B 31. D 32. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了高自尊对孩子的危害,同时作者建议我们如何培养真正的自尊。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Phrases like ‘good sharing!’ and ‘great job on the slide!’ echo across American playgrounds. (像‘好样的!’和‘滑得好!’在美国的操场上回响。)”和第二段中“We’ve been told that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to children’s happiness and success, and we’ve been praising and protecting them ever since. But has the self-esteem movement gone too far Many experts argue that instead of raising healthy high achievers, maybe we’re raising a generation of narcissists(自我陶醉者). (我们一直被告知,高自尊是孩子快乐和成功的关键,从那以后我们一直在赞美和保护他们。但自尊运动是否走得太远了?许多专家认为,也许我们不是在培养健康的高成就者,而是在培养一代自我陶醉者。)”可知,使用“好分享!”和“滑得好!”等表扬短语目的是为了引起话题:高自尊对孩子利与弊。故选B项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“While experts used to blame low self-esteem for everything from bad grades to criminal behavior, research has shown that inflated (膨胀的) self-esteem is more often the criminal. (虽然专家们过去常常把从学习成绩差到犯罪行为等一切事情都归咎于自尊心不足,但研究表明,自尊心膨胀往往是罪魁祸首。)”可知,D“高自尊在某种程度上对孩子有害”是正确的。故选D项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,根据最后一段“Anyway, make it clear that while you have expectations for their behavior, you love and accept them unconditionally. True self-esteem isn’t about a steady stream of applause; it develops when children know their limits and responsibilities, are given enough opportunities to challenge themselves, and feel secure that they’re loved even when they fail. (无论如何,你要清楚地表明,你对他们的行为有所期待,你无条件地爱他们并接受他们。真正的自尊不是源源不断的掌声;当孩子们知道自己的极限和责任,有足够的机会挑战自己,即使失败了也能感到被爱的安全感时,这种爱就会发展起来。)”可知,作者通过列举专家的观点和证据说明高度自尊的问题,客观地分析了怎样获得真正的自尊,所以说作者对高自尊的态度是客观的。故选C项。
