110、.For many of us, work can be so mentally exhausting that its possible to forget that we have an entire body attached to our head. The body-scan meditation is a chance to help you tune in to the tiny pains that we often dont even notice. It can last anywhere from one to 20 minutes, and its easy to do

Heres how to do it: lie down or sit still in a chair with your eyes closed, and begin to sense every part of the body in turn, starting at your toes and traveling up from there. Its a good way for us to release tension we dont even realize were experiencing.Mindfulness isnt all

114、 is the heart of any mindfulness practice. The goal isnt to clear the mind but to let thoughts pass like clouds without getting sucked into what they might mean.

122、 practice.” (在注意呼吸的同时简单地呼吸是任何正念练习的核心。)可知,舒缓瑜伽和呼吸训练一样,都要求控制好呼吸。故选B项。【61题详解】推理判断题。根据Gentle Yoga部分 “Before you start, set aside a few minutes to calm down and focus on your breath. And once youre done, spend a few moments lying flat on your back with your muscles relaxed.”(在你开始之前,花几分钟时间冷静下来,专注于你的呼吸。完成后
123、,平躺一会儿,放松肌肉。)可知,在做完瑜伽后才需要平躺一会儿,放松肌肉,而不是在做瑜伽之前,C项表述错误。故选C项。【62题详解】推理判断题。根据Body Scan部分 “Heres how to do it: lie down or sit still in a chair with your eyes closed.”(方法如下:躺下或一动不动地坐在椅子上。)可推知,在进行身体扫描冥想活动时,身体需要处于一动不动的静止状态。故选D项。(C)The story of the emperors new clothes is one of Andersens best-known fables.

(朝臣不敢说皇帝是裸体,只有孩子才能指出显而易见的事实。)”,可知皇帝的新衣寓意是指人们常常受社会传统的束缚而“墨守成规”,不去发表自己的观点,选项A. close themselves

143、is beyond your reach? Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize? Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you cant achieve the unachievable? _67_Shame and fear are often the hidden drives of perfection. We believe that if we fashion a perfectly polished personality,
144、 flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and well win respect and approval.For the majority of us, the addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect. _68_ We fear that showing shortcomings will expose us to the accusation tha

E【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章解释了导致完美主义心理的原因及危害,并给出了如何治愈完美主义心理的方法。【67题详解】第一段通过三个问句的形式列举的事例恰好属于F项中提到的“self-created obstacle(自创的障碍)”,第二段第一句“Shame and fear are often the hidden drives of perfection.(羞耻和恐惧往往是追求完美的隐藏驱动力。)”中的the hidden drives of perfection与选项F中的“what drives pe
151、rfection(驱动追求完美的力量)”相呼应,故F选项“理解是什么驱动着完美,这是我们摆脱自我制造的阻碍的第一步。”切题。故选F项。【68题详解】第三段句首的“the addiction to staying perfect(对保持完美的痴迷)”与D项中的“a desperate need to be right(一种对正确的迫切需要)”意义相近;而D项中的“mistakes or uncertainty(错误或不确定性)”也正是第三段句首提出的“any sign of being imperfect(任何不完美的迹象)”的具体表现。D项内容是对前一句内容的进一步解释。故D选项“我们常常表现
152、出一种对正确的迫切需要,拒绝承认错误或不确定性”切题。故选D项。【69题详解】空前的“Theres nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.(想要做到最好并在过程中自我纠正并没有错。)”对追求完美的行为进行了肯定,而空后的“We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too serious.(我们会痛苦地感到难为情,把自己看得太严肃。)”却指出了追求完美的消极后果,显然设空处需填入表示转折和过渡的句子,B项句首的“Howeve
153、r”起到了转折的作用,且该项内容也指出了完美主义的消极后果。故B选项“然而,如果我们不能放松和享受轻松的时刻,那么我们就会成为完美主义的囚徒。”切题。故选B项。【70题详解】最后一段空前的“Those who succeed have made countless mistakes.(成功的人犯过无数的错误。)”,设空处应解释“成功的人是如何在犯了无数错误之后仍然取得成功的”,选项E中的内容既解答了这个疑问,又与前文“Without failures, well never learn from our mistakes; well never move forward in our live
154、s.(没有失败,我们就永远不会从错误中吸取教训;我们的生活永远不会向前。)”说法一致,故E选项“重要的是从错误中吸取教训,原谅自己,继续前进”切题。故选E项。IV. Summary Writing71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Perhaps youve heard the old sayin
155、g “curiosity killed the cat.” Its a phrase thats often used to warn people, especially children, not to ask too many questions. Yet its widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective. In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining
156、how well students do in school.Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveriesand open up new possibilities. In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits. For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil (线圈) and a magnet (磁
157、铁) when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. The discovery changed the world.However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology. On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about h
158、ow exactly things work anymore.In addition to this, theres the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides up
159、 with. Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.The finaland perhaps most worryingway in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms f
160、ind out what we like and push more of the same back to us. That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas. Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.【答案】Curiosity determines ones academi
161、c performance and can lead to new discoveries. However, technology seriously endangers curiosity . It prevents people from thinking deeply and engaging with each other . Worst of all, it keeps feeding us what it thinks we like instead of exposing us to new ideas. Therefore, to develop curiosity, we
162、need to rely less on technology.
