But that “one more thing” often comes at Goldman’s expense.‎ ‎“You’re exhausted and a patient or their family look at you with begging eyes,” he says. “So you have this dilemma: say that your shift is over or give until you’re totally spent?” Goldman’s work stress combined with family tension after his mother was diagnosed with dementia 20 years ago. Caring for her over a decade was difficult, as was dealing with his father’s grief. “When someone else is drowning you, you have to grab a life preserver and save yourself,” says Goldman.‎ Setting boundaries isn’t just important for busy professionals; everyone can benefit from managing situations that cause undue stress or pain. Here are some tips.‎ First, “If someone’s behavior makes you unhappy --- and it could be anything from the way they speak to you to repeatedly failing to stick to their promise --- then there’s room to set limits,” says Patrick Keelan, a Calgary psychologist. We often avoid setting limits because we prioritize the happiness and comfort of others over ours. In order to control t hi s im pul se, Goldman suggests framing the development of boundaries as a form of self-kindness. When facing an overwhelming ‎ situation like the one he was in with his father, Goldman suggests reflecting on what is making you feel uncomfortable, unhappy or unappreciated. “You can’t relate to others or be kind to others if you aren’t kind to yourself,” he says.‎ Second, once you’ve become aware of your needs, setting and maintaining boundaries requir es clear verbal communication. There are three obstacles to enforcing boundaries in a relationship: fear, guilt and self-doubt, says psychologist Nicole MaCance. We often fear that if we set limits, the other person will reject us, or we feel bad claiming our needs. Keelan proposes setting ground rules before relationships become tense. Start by cooperatively listing values --- like mutual respect, support, and loyalty --- and then building the guidelines from these values. If you’re struggling to reach a consensus, Keelan recommends engaging a third party, such as a therapist, to help.‎ Now, if you want a boundary to stick to, you can’t enable someone in breaking it. As such, it’s crucial to establish consequences for transgressions ( 越轨). Otherwise, McMance says, “you’re giving them permission to violate that boundary.” If they won’t respect your boundaries, you have to do some soul- searching about the value of the relationship. “When you feel bad more than you feel good in this person’s presence, and when the relationship is impacting your self-worth and happiness, it’s time to reassess,” says McCance. Saying no is hard, but she suggests framing it as saying yes to healthier relationships. “We’re all better mothers and partners and brothers when we have boundaries.”‎ ‎38. What do we know about Goldman?‎ A. He is in need of support in his work.‎ B. He is caught between his work and life.‎ C. He slides into the state of desperation.‎ D. He always puts his family at the first place.‎ ‎39. What do the underlined words “this impulse” refer to?‎ A. prioritizing others’ happiness B. avoiding setting limits C. failing to stick to their promise D. framing the development of boundaries ‎40. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. Do communicate. B. Do not cross.‎ C. Identify your limits. D. Say no and mean it.‎ ‎【答案】38. B 39. A 40. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。文章提到设定界限对忙碌的职场人士很重要。同时作者给出两点保持界限的建议：第一是设限，第二是清晰的口头沟通。作者认为当我们有界限的时候，我们都是更好的母亲、更好的伴侣、更好的兄弟。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Goldman finds it extremely difficult to draw boundaries between his work and personal lives可知Goldman发现他很难在他的工作和个人生活之间划清界限。因此答案选择B。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线部分含义为“这种冲动”，那么这种冲动是什么要根据前一句提到的是we prioritize the happiness and comfort of others over ours可知是指“我们把他人的快乐和舒适放在首位”，故选A。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据最后一句We’re all better mothers and partners and brothers when we have boundaries.可知作者认为当我们有界限的时候，我们都是更好的母亲、更好的伴侣、更好的兄弟。且结合文章内容为一致讲到界限边界，提醒人们在处理人和人之间关系的时候不要越界。因此选择B最为符合。‎ C Babies have an astonishing talent that adults entirely lose. By the age of one, they can recognise the significant noises around them and group them into a language. When we have lost this capacity as adults, it becomes enormously difficult to distinguish between sounds that are glaringly different to a native speaker. It all sounds Greek to us. This is because the range of possible sounds that humans use to convey meaning may be as high as 2,000, but few languages use more than 100 and even then the significant noises－the phonemes (音素) of a language－each cover a range ‎ of sounds and so vague distinctions which would change the meaning of a word in other languages.‎ But where do these phonemes come from and why do they shift over time? New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds around the world may be partially explained by diet. This is unexpected. We’d rather think of language as product of our thought, rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both.‎ Hunter gatherer languages very seldom use the sounds known as labiodentals (唇齿音)－those such as f and v－that are made by touching the lower lip with the upper teeth. Only two of the hundreds of Australian aboriginal languages use them for example. But in cultures that have discovered farming, these consonants (辅音) are much more common. The argument goes that farmers eat more cooked food and more dairy than hunter gatherers. Either way, they need to chew mush less, and to bite less with their front teeth. So farmers grew up with smaller lower jaws and more of an overbite than their ancestors who had to bite through harder foods. It became easier for them to make the labiodental consonants instead of purely labial (唇音) ones: one example is that f come to take the place of p. Romans said “pater” but English speakers (unless they’re Rees－Moggs) say “father”.‎ Beyond these particular changes the story highlights the way in which everything distinctively human is both material and spiritual: speech must combine sound and meaning, and the meaning can ’t exist or be transmitted without a real object. But neither can it be reduced to the purely physical, as our inability to understand or even to recognise foreign languages makes clear. The food we eat shapes our jaws, and our jaws in turn shape the sounds of our language. The ease with which we eat probably shapes our thought too, as anyone who has suffered toothache could testify. What we eat may have shaped the sounds of our language, but how we eat changes how we feel and what we use language to express. A family meal is very different from a sandwich at the office desk, even if the calorie is the same. Food has purposes and meanings far beyond keeping us alive and pleasing the Palate (味觉).‎ ‎41. Compared with adults, babies could more easily .‎ A. create significant noises B. classify the forms of noises C. understand the Greek language D. distinguish meaningful sounds ‎42. According to the passage, which of the following factors help shape language?‎ A. Lips and teeth. B. Jobs and habits.‎ C. Age and regions. D. Food and thinking.‎ ‎43. The reason for farmers' making sounds of “f” and “v” is .‎ A. enjoying more cooked foods B. biting more with front teeth C. constantly chewing harder foods D. growing up with lager lower jaws ‎44. By writing this passage, the author intends to reveal .‎ A. jaws help shape our thought B. food determines our thought C. diet has some influence on language D. language consists of sound and meaning ‎【答案】41. D 42. D 43. A 44. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。主要叙述了人们一直以来认为语言是思想的产物，但是有新的研究表明饮食对于语言也会产生一些影响。且以f和v的发音为例，揭示了农民们发“f”和“v”音的原因是他们喜欢吃更多的熟食。同时这也强调了人类特有的一切都是物质和精神的结合:语言必须把声音和意义结合起来，没有真实的物体，意义就不可能存在或传播。‎ ‎41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句By the age of one, they can recognize the significant noises around them and group them into a language.可知一岁的婴儿和成人相比更能识别出周围的重要声音，故选D。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 细节理解题。第二段第二句New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds around the world may be partially explained by diet.可知某些声音在世界范围内的任意分布，部分可以用饮食来解释。本段提到sound和diet是有关系的,也就是food食物；另外也和思考有关the product of thought,本段最后说到和两者都有关系。因此答案选择D。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段The argument goes that famers eat more cooked food and more dairy than hunter gatherers.可知农民比狩猎采集者吃更多的熟食和奶制品，即农民们发“f”和“v”音的原因是他们喜欢吃更多的熟食。故选A。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第二段We’d rather think of language as product of our thought, rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both.可知任何一种语言的诞生都必须同时具备思想和饮食这两种因素的影响。以及文章内容可知叙述的都是日常饮食和发音对语言的影响，故选C。‎ D British children used to play conkers (板栗游戏) in the autumn when the horse-chestnut trees started to drop their shiny brown nuts. They would select a suitable chestnut, drill a hole in it and thread it onto a string, then swing their conker at that of an opponent until one of them broke. But the game has fallen out of favour. Children spend less time outdoors and rarely have access to chestnut trees. Besides, many schools have banned conkers games, worried that they might cause injuries or nut allergies.‎ That sort of risk-averseness(规避风险) now spreads through every aspect of childhood. Playgrounds have all the excitement designed out of them to make them safe. Many governments, particularly in societies such as America, have tightened up their rules, requiring parents to supervise(监管) young children far more closely than in the past. Frank Furedi of the University of Kent, a critic on modern parenting, argues that allowing children to play unsupervised or leaving them at home alone is increasingly described as a symptom of irresponsible parenting.‎ In part, such increased caution is a response to the huge wave of changes. Large-scale urbanization, smaller and more mobile families, the move of women into the labor market and the digitization of many aspects of life have unavoidably changed the way that people bring up their children. There is little chance that any of these trends will be changed, so today's more intensive(精细化的) parenting style is likely ‎ to go on.‎ Such parenting practices now embraced by wealthy parents in many parts of the rich world, particularly in America, go far beyond an adjustment to changes in external conditions. They mean a strong bid to ensure that the advantages enjoyed by the parents’ generation are passed on to their children. Since success in life now turns mainly on education, such parents will do their best to provide their children with the schooling, the character training and the social skills that will secure access to the best universities and later the most attractive jobs.‎ To some extent that has always been the case. But there are more such parents now, and they are competing with each other for what economists call positional goods. This competition starts even before the children are born. The wealthy classes will take their time to select a suitable spouse and get married, and will start a family only when they feel ready for it.‎ Children from less advantaged backgrounds, by contrast, often appear before their parents are ready for them. In America 60% of births to single women under 30 are unplanned, and over 40% of children are born outside marriage. The result, certainly in America, has been to widen already massive social inequalities yet further.‎ All the evidence suggests that children from poorer backgrounds are at a disadvantage almost as soon as they are born. By the age of five or six they are far less “school-ready” than their better-off peers, so any attempts to help them catch up have to start long before they get to school. America has had some success with various schemes involving regular home visits by nurses or social workers to low-income families with new babies. It also has long experience with programmes for young children from poor families that combine support for parents with good-quality child care. Such programmes do seem to make a difference. Without extra effort, children from low-income families in most countries are much less likely than their better-off peers to attend preschool education, even though they are more likely to benefit from it. And data from the OECD’s PISA programme suggest that children need at least two years of preschool education to perform at their best when they are 15.‎ So the most promising way to ensure greater equality may be to make early-years ‎ education and care for more widely available and more affordable, as it is in the Nordics. Some governments are already rethinking their educational priorities, shifting some of their spending to the early years.‎ Most rich countries decided more than a century ago that free, compulsory education for all children was a worthwhile investment for society. There is now an argument for starting preschool education earlier, as some countries have already done. In the face of crushing new inequalities, a modern version of that approach is worth trying.‎ ‎45. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?‎ A.

Merkel, for example, spent more than a decade as a chemist before going into politics, while Hasina, the daughter of Bangladesh ’s first president, served as her father’s political assistant while at college, and Johnson Sirleaf worked at multiple financial institution s before running for vice president. Is there something deeper than they share?‎ The researcher Susan R. Madsen of Utah Valley University interviewed women in some countries about their paths to leadership. She was surprised by the similarities among the women when they spoke about how they became leaders. “Every single one of them talked about finding their voices and their confidence at dinner-table conversations with their families. Their parents talked about politics, about what ‎ was happening in the community, and when the women had something to say, their parents didn't stop them,” Madsen said.‎ As part of a series of interviews on women and leadership, I spoke to three women from different countries who have each become leaders in their respective fields: Agnes lgoye of Uganda, who works with her government to counter human trafficking; Ikram Ben Said, the founder of Tunisian women’s rights organization Aswat Nissa; and Sairee Chahal of India, who started a digital platform that helps women get back into the workforce.‎ All three of my interviewees pointed to the family environment they had been raised in --- particularly a father figure who taught and empowered the women in the family to learn, ask questions, and form their own opinions. Also, mothers broke convention by displaying leadership within the family. ‎ Igoye, for example, credited her father with having the foresight to send his daughters to school despite opposition from others in their village. Her mother went back to school as an adult to improve her career as a teacher, which lgoye described as being a big influence on her. Similarly Ben Said talked about how her father encouraged political debate among the family when she was growing up, even when her opinions contradicted his. Meanwhile, Chahal said that even in her younger days, her parents went against the general convention of expecting their daughters to aim only for a good husband.‎ Another conclusion from Madsen's work is that women's leadership development doesn't look like men's. “Men tend to follow a more straight path to becoming a leader. Women's paths are much emergent. They tend to not necessarily look ahead and think, ‘I want to be on top.’ Women would point to a number of experiences--- motherhood, or working with a non-profit, or sitting on a board, as shaping their path to becoming leaders,” she said.‎ Actually, women leaders tend to be held to higher standards than their male counterparts. lgoye has felt this in Uganda. “Women who take up leadership positions in my country have to be tough, it's not easy at all,” she said. “You are always aware that you are representing all women. You have to work extra hard to deliver,‎ ‎ to perform, because if you do something wrong, they will say, ‘Ah, you see, women!’ ”‎ Therefore, merely having women leaders can change the opportunities available for generations of women in a country. What leadership looks like in their country, how much of a voice the women leaders are having, influences what leadership is and what it means to its women.‎ What do women leaders have in common?‎ Introduction These female leaders come from different cultural and political backgrounds, but do they share any ___51___ ?‎ Findings of Madsen’s research In their early years, these female leaders were enabled to express themselves ___52___ and develop their confidence at dinner table.‎ They got more chances to be ___53___ to politics.‎ ‎⚫ Different from men, their previous experiences help them work ‎ their way to the ___54___ of their career ladder.‎ Findings of the author’s research All these female leaders ___55___ their success to their family environment. ◇Unlike other children in her village, Igoye received ___56___ with her sisters.‎ ‎◇Ben Said was encouraged to debate among the family even when her opinions went ___57___ her father’s.‎ ‎◇Despite the general convention of ___58___ well, Chahal was brought up otherwise.‎ ‎⚫ Women leaders have to work ___59___ than men Conclusion Female leadership ___60___ a lot to a nation and its women as well.‎ ‎【答案】51. similarity/similarities ‎ ‎52. freely/casually ‎ ‎53. exposed ‎ ‎54. top 55. owed/attributed ‎ ‎56. education/schooling ‎ ‎57. against ‎ ‎58. marrying ‎ ‎59. harder 60. means/matters ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。研究人员采访了一些国家的女性，询问她们通往领导岗位的道路。这些女性在谈到她们如何成为领导者时都有一些相似之处。他们都将成功归功于自己所生长的家庭环境。同时结合了Igoye、Ben和Chahal三位女性的自身经历得出结论：女性的领袖对于国家和其他女性而言意义重大。‎ ‎【51题详解】‎ 根据第一段第一句On the surface, one would be hard-pressed to find many similarities between German chancellor Angela Merkel, Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina, and Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf可知这些女性领导人来自不同的文化和政治背景，但她们有什么相似点吗？故填similarity/similarities。‎ ‎【52题详解】‎ 第二段第三行…finding their voices and confidence at dinner—table conversations with their families.她们可以在晚饭时间在饭桌上自由的演说。故填 freely/ casually。‎ ‎【53题详解】‎ 根据第二段最后一句话Their parents talked about politics, about what was happening in the community, and when the women had something to say, their parents didn't stop them,可知她们的父母谈论政治，谈论社区里发生的事情，当女性有话要说时，她们的父母没有阻止她们。可知女性有了接触政治的机会。be exposed to sth.“接触某事”，故填exposed。‎ ‎【54题详解】‎ 根据第六段倒数一、二句I want to be on top.’ Women would point to a number of experiences--- motherhood, or working with a non-profit, or sitting on a board, as shaping their path to becoming leaders,可知与男性不同的是，他们之前的经历帮助他们走上职业生涯的顶峰。故填top。‎ ‎【55题详解】‎ 第四段第一句All three of my interviewees pointed to the family environment they had been raised in --- particularly a father figure who taught and empowered the women in the family to learn, ask questions, and form their own opinions.可知他们都将成功归功于自己所生长的家庭环境。Owe/ attribute…to…将…归功于…故填owed/attributed。‎ ‎【56题详解】‎ 结合第五段第一句Igoye, for example, credited her father with having the foresight to send his daughters to school despite opposition from others in their village. 可知Igoye的父亲很有远见，不顾村里其他人的反对，把女儿送去上学接受教育，故填education/schooling。‎ ‎【57题详解】‎ 第五段Similarly Ben Said talked about how her father encouraged political debate among the family when she was growing up, even when her opinions contradicted his.可知她的父亲在她成长过程中鼓励家庭内部进行政治辩论，即使她的观点与父亲的相反。 go against…与…相反,故填 against。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 第五段最后一句Chahal said that even in her younger days, her parents went against the general convention of expecting their daughters to aim only for a good husband.可知 Chahal的父母违背了一般的传统，即不希望女儿将追求一个好丈夫作为目标。也就是结婚嫁得好。故填 marrying。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 第七段第一句, women leaders tend to be held to higher standards than their male counterparts可知女性领袖要比男性同行维持更高的标准，也就是更努力工作。故填 harder。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 结合最后一段,女性领袖可以改变性别不平等的现状，给更多女性机会，这些呼声也改变了领袖对于女性的含义，即女性的领袖对于国家和其他女性而言意义重大。故填 means/ matters。‎ 第五部分：书面表达（满分 25 分）‎ ‎61.请认真阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。‎ The Palace Museum, as known as the Forbidden City, began selling souvenirs and other peripheral ( 周边的 ) products on Alibaba’s Taobao in October 2010.
