12、she noticed something:a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her.Shed been following faint tracks all day and hadnt given them much thought, because so many people climbed Jewell Trail.But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of sneakers.She silently scolded the absent hiker for bre

D【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了贝尔斯在天气恶劣时去登山，无意发现一串往危险区域行进的脚印，她知道有人陷入了困境。尽管很害怕，尽管天气情况很糟糕，她还是跟着脚印继续前进，最终救了那个人。一周后才知道那人名叫约翰，当时准备自杀。【1题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线部分
19、下文Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog.可知贝尔斯增加更多的衣服来保护自己免受寒风和浓雾的侵袭，由此推断划线部分的意思是“天气正在变得更糟”。A. The weather began to get worse.（天气开始变得更差）符合以上说法。故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段的Now she felt genuinely alarmed.She was sure the hiker could not naviga
20、te(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.可知贝尔斯看到脚印后非常害怕，因为她知道有人无法导航，这个人正在向海湾区域前进，那是最具挑战性的线路，即贝尔斯确信有人遇上麻烦了，所以她感到害怕。D. Because she was convinced that someone was in trouble.（因为她确信有人正处于麻烦中）符合以上说法。故选D。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的On Sunday
21、, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life.Weather was to be bad.Thought no one else would be there.I was dressed to go quickly.可知，约翰这天选择这条线路去登山的目的是在没人看见的情况下结束自己的生命，所以他穿的很少，以便快速行走。D. To kill himself without being discovered.（不被发现的情况下结束自己的生命）符合以上说法。故选D。【点睛】做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题
22、干进行比较，再做出正确选择。如第2小题，根据文章第三段的Now she felt genuinely alarmed.She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness.可知贝尔斯看到脚印后非常害怕，因为她知道有人无法导航，这个人正在向海湾区域前进，那是最具挑战性的线路，即贝尔斯确信有人遇上麻烦了，所以她感到害怕。D. Because she
23、was convinced that someone was in trouble.（因为她确信有人正处于麻烦中）符合以上说法。故选D。BI stood outside my front door catching my breath.

32、 the one English word said enough: “POLICE” （红色胶带贴在门上，虽然作者不懂西班牙语，但是根据上面的英语单词“POLICE”）可知，作者知道这是警局；又根据第二段Google Translate told me I would be arrested if I entered, so I didnt看出，作者觉得如果进去了会被抓，所以没有随便进去。故选 B 项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段My agents words were fuzzy，something about fixing the locks tomorrow and making
33、 a list for the police可知经纪人跟作者说的话含含糊糊，说什么明天会修好锁，会列出失窃物品的清单给警察。故选 A 项【6题详解】推理判断题。第四段：I was in shock和第五段：My heart sank和the whole experience seemed to crash down on me. I cried以及最后一段：Inside was the locket with honey Grandma smiling at me, being there for me, telling me not to give up . I started to cry
34、。这些语句描述了作者遭失窃后的情绪变化：一开始吃惊，后来以为放奶奶照片的盒子也被偷了，就情绪低落；过了6个月后，偶然地发现奶奶的照片还在抽屉的礼品盒里，在对着作者微笑，好像在告诉作者不要放弃，作者又转悲为喜。故选 C项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。故事围绕奶奶的照片是否被盗与作者的心情变化展开，先是以为奶奶的照片被偷了，永远失去了；六个月后又找到了，可以看出作者对奶奶的照片的珍惜之情。故选 C 项。CWhat inspires kids to be creative and pursue academic excellence? Some teachers use rewards in recog
35、nition of students effort or achievement, giving them prizes, medals, certificates, or money.Psychologists take opposite views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue
36、that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, believe that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators.
37、But the careful use of small monetary(金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in primary school children, suggesting that properly given stimuli(刺激) indeed encourage creativity, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.If kids know theyre working for a reward and can focu

45、10. C 11. A【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了心理学家对外部奖励对学生成绩的影响的态度有分歧。而教育工作者则认为适当的外部奖励刺激确实能激发创造力，但是如果给予表现不好的学生奖励则可能会扼杀创造力。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. （心理学家对外部奖励(从温暖的表扬到冷冰冰的现金)如何影响动机和创造力持相反的观点）可知，心理学家对
46、外部奖励对学生成绩的影响的态度有分歧。故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段第一句Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. （心理学家对外部奖励(从温暖的表扬到冷冰冰的现金)如何影响动机和创造力持相反的观点）可知，外部奖励包括表扬到现金。分析选项可知C选项“杰克努力进入一所重点大学。”并不属于“外部奖励”的例子。故选C。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段If kids know the
47、yre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity, says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards.（位于纽瓦克的特拉华大学的Robert
48、Eisenberger说:“如果孩子们知道他们是为了奖励而工作，并且能够专注于一个相对有挑战性的任务，他们就会表现出最大的创造力。”“但如果对表现不佳的学生给予奖励，或者对奖励的渴望太强烈，就很容易扼杀创造力。”）提到孩子们是为了获得奖赏而从事一项具有挑战性的工作时创造力最强，而如果对那些表现不好的学生也给予奖赏则会扼杀创造力，可见Robert Eisenberger观点是给他们应得的奖励。故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or crea
49、ting too much desire for rewards.（“但如果对表现不佳的学生给予奖励，或者对奖励的渴望太强烈，就很容易扼杀创造力。”）可知，如果一个老师对表现不好的学生也给予奖赏就会导致学生缺乏创造力，故从文章中可以推断，各大大学正试图提高他们的评分标准，是因为他们认为奖励不好的表现可能会扼杀学生的创造力。故选A。DAt one time or another in your life you have probably done origami, even if it was just making a paper airplane or something more com
