It was my favorite way to escape stress. So, when I was back in my hometown after a tough first year of my Ph. D. program, I thought a trail run was just what I needed. But instead of helping me relax, the run did just the opposite.‎ After I moved to the city for college, where my runs were on flat concrete paths instead of winding dirt trails, I used a GPS watch. When I went on trail runs again in the country, it constantly reminded me of the fact that I wasn’t keeping up with my usual pace. I turned my watch off, thinking that would allow me to enjoy my surroundings and find the peace I expected, but I worried I was underperforming. “Why can’ t I let go and just enjoy myself?” I wondered. But after some introspection（反省）, I realized why I was struggling—both on trail runs and in graduate school.‎ Going into my Ph. D. , I had thought that my solid undergraduate track record would set me up for instant success. To my surprise, I was wrong. I lacked confidence in my research abilities which ‎ I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow. Other students’ self-confidence and their excellent results made me feel insecure. Finally, one day I broke down in tears in my adviser’ s office.‎ Then came my visit home: I was having trouble because I hadn’ t properly adjusted my expectations to the differences between an urban run and a trail run.‎ A Ph. D. is like a trail run: Sometimes you can run fast. Sometimes you might find yourself climbing up a steep, winding trail at a snail’ s pace. And that’ s OK. Barriers are unavoidable, and success looks and feels different on a challenging trail than it does on a smooth, flat path. Sometimes it’ s best to take a deep breath and do your best to meet the challenge.‎ ‎34. How did the author feel when he was on trail runs again?‎ A. Relaxed. B. Tired.‎ C. Anxious. D. Happy.‎ ‎35. What resulted in the author’ s poor performance in Ph. D ‎ A. His lack of confidence. B. His lack of hard work.‎ C. His poor research abilities. D. His poor track record.‎ ‎36. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?‎ A. His desire for success. B. His confidence of trail runs.‎ C. His expectations in his study. D. His realization after the trail run.‎ ‎37. What does the author want to tell us?‎ A. Failure is the mother of success.‎ B. Working out regularly is beneficial.‎ C. It’ s important to make necessary adjustments.‎ D. It’ s vital to turn to others for help.‎ ‎【答案】34. C 35. A 36. D 37. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在城市水泥路上和在乡村小路上跑步时的不同感受，反省了自己在博士课程方面不如意的原因，告诉读者要学会根据情况来调整自己的预期，去收获成功与满足。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段的“but I worried I was underperforming”可知，跑步没能让作者放松，相反却感到焦虑，故选C。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I lacked confidence in my research abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow.”可知，作者在学业方面差是由于自己对自己的研究能力缺乏自信，故选A。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 推理判断题。上文中作者对比了在城市水泥路上跑步和在乡村小路上跑步的不同，因此在文章末段作者表达了自己在经历这件事后的领悟，故选D。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 推理判断题。作者在文章中主要通过自己跑步时不同感受的对比，反省了自己在博士课程方面不如意的原因， 告诉读者要学会根据不同的情况来调整自己的预期，故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改写，意思不变。如换一个同义词，把否定改为肯定，把肯定改为否定等。如第2小题，根据第三段中的“I lacked confidence in my research abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow.”可知，作者在学业方面差是由于自己对自己的研究能力缺乏自信，故选A。‎ C Loud cheers and applause broke out at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab on Monday, November 25, 2018, as the unmanned lander, called Insight, touched down on Mars, after nearly seven years from design to launch to landing.‎ The great arrival of the spacecraft—designed to listen for quakes and shakes as a way to discover the Red Planet’s inner secrets, how it formed billions of years ago and, how other planets like Earth took shape—marked the eighth successful landing on Mars in Nasa’s history.‎ Minutes after InSight landed on the surface of Mars, the first image was sent back, showing a wide flat area as seen through a dirty camera.‎ The touchdown came after a nearly seven-month, 300 million-mile travel from Earth to Mars, during which the InSight spacecraft had to slow down from a speed of more than ‎12,000 mph. The spacecraft’s heat shelter helped the lander survive temperatures as high as ‎2,700℉‎.‎ Each step along the way was watched nervously at JPL, with updates delayed by the eight-minute light travel time between Earth and Mars. Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received. “We are proud of everything that has gone on today,” they told us reporters.‎ The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites (马可纳米卫星) that accompanied InSight during its travel to Mars. The dust from the landing made the view unclear. Pictures from it were expected to be clearer once the dust settled and the lens cover (镜头盖) was removed.‎ Hours later, InSight’s batteries were charging as expected. The InSight team also passed on another picture, taken by a different camera that’s fixed on the lander’s robotic arm. The view is clearer, showing the robotic arm and the seismometer, which is used to discover the actual movement of the ground.‎ ‎38. What do we know about InSight lander from the passage?‎ A. It has landed successfully on Mars eight times.‎ B. It travelled all the way at the speed of ‎12,000 mph.‎ C. Mission controllers helped it survive high temperature.‎ D. The task of it is to find out the inner mysteries of Mars.‎ ‎39. We know what Mars looks like by _______.‎ A. studying pictures InSight lander sends back B. reading reports sent back by the person on Mars C. collecting images sent back by MarCO nanosatellites D. analyzing information the robot on InSight lander sends back ‎40. How did the mission controllers feel when they received signals from Insight?‎ A. Unconcerned. B. Worried.‎ C. Amazed. D. Excited.‎ ‎41. The passage is most probably taken from _______.‎ A. a fiction novel B. a news report C. a travel magazine D. an official statement ‎【答案】38. D 39. C 40. D 41. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了美国航天总局的InSight登陆和探测火星的相关情况。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第二自然段中“The great arrival of the spacecraft—designed to listen for quakes and shakes as a way to discover the Red Planet’s inner secrets,”可知，设计Insight的主要目的是探测火星的内部秘密。故选D项。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二自然段第一句“The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites (马可纳米卫星) that accompanied InSight during its travel to Mars.”可知，马克纳米卫星能够把拍摄火星的照片传回地球，通过照片我们就可以知道火星的外表。故选C项。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received.（当收到来自Insight的信号时，任务控制员们都高兴地抱在一起）可知接收到信号时任务控制人员很高兴。故选D项。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了美国航天总局的Insight登陆和探测火星的相关情况，所以可以推断出它最有可能是出自选项中的“a news report”（新闻报道）。故选B项。‎ D The latest data from the Office for National Statistics shows that one in every 12 kids is living in homes where no one has worked for at least a year. That may be due to unemployment or issues such as sickness or disability that mean they can’t work, and aren’t required to. This is known as being in a “long term workless” family.‎ The issues faced by children in workless families have very bad influence on their development and education, limiting their future employment prospects, and reducing their opportunities to succeed throughout their lives.‎ Not only does worklessness reduce family income, it can also damage families’ health and stability, and thus destroy children’s development. This is because many workless families are held ‎ back by disadvantages such as debt, drug and alcohol dependency, and by homelessness. Suffering from the family problems, many children face a greater and greater possibility of repeating the poor outcomes of their parents. Government research has shown that children in workless families are almost twice as likely not to reach the expected level at all stages of their education. For example, three-quarters of children from families where no one works failed to reach the expected level at General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), compared to around half of children in lower-income working families.‎ So attention should be paid to children in out-of-work homes. Having working parents means a child is more likely to do better at school, to have better health, education and development, and also means they are less likely to fall into crime.‎ But for some families, worklessness, or not employment, is the norm. They just choose not to work. These families often face huge barriers to getting on with their lives but they take the opportunities offered by the society. Parents’ ability to work is frustrated by issues like low skills or poor mental or physical health, or drug and alcohol dependency, leaving children without the stability they need.‎ We all want to help workless families with complex problems so that their children can take advantage of the opportunities in Britain. We all want parents to have the chance to go out to earn a living and to enjoy the pleasure of work, so that their children can benefit from the good examples of working parents. In doing so, we should know the need to understand the complex issues that some families face and to develop a new approach to deal with poverty. Because the root causes are not financial. It is about helping families overcome the problems they face so that they can go as far as their talents and hard work will take them.

Because the root causes are not financial. It is about helping families overcome the problems they face so that they can go as far as their talents and hard work will take them ‎（在这样做的时候，我们应该知道有必要了解一些家庭面临的复杂问题，并制定一种处理贫穷问题的新办法。因为根本原因不是经济原因。它是帮助家庭克服他们所面临的问题，使他们能够尽其所能地发挥他们的才能并努力工作。可知，本段主要讲帮助那些失业家庭的方法。故选B项。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章前面叙述“无就业”家庭给孩子带来的伤害，以及最后一段的内容，尤其是前两句We all want to help workless families with complex problems so that their children can take advantage of the opportunities in Britain.
