第二十一组(建议用时：45分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解More and more people take part in marathons these days—over 30，000 people will run the London Marathon this weekend, for instance.But it’s not just the 26 miles and 385 yards that could be a daunting prospect.“I have to admit to being completely frustrated by the blocking and for 18—19 miles was just keeping away from people and being held up，”one participant grumbled after the 2012 London Marathon.“I had to overtake a lot of people and ended up with bruised(淤肿的) forearms from all the elbows，”said another.How do such crowding problems arise, and could they be reduced? Some researchers believe that we can find the answers through a more familiar system in which jams appear—road traffic flow.Martin Treiber, of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, has previously developed models for traffic flow.One of the first attempts to model traffic flow was made in the 1950s by James Lighthill and his collaborator Gerard Whitham of Manchester University.They considered the traffic as a kind of liquid flowing down a pipe, and looked at how the flow changes as the fluid gets denser(浓稠)．At first the flow rate increases as the density increases, since you simply get more stuff through in the same period of time.But if the density becomes too high，there’s a risk of jams, and the flow rate drops sharply.Treiber’s model of a marathon uses this same principle that the flow rate first increases and then decreases as the density of runners increases, thanks to an sudden switch from free to crowded flow. He assumes that there is a range of different preferred speeds for different runners, which each maintains throughout the race.With just these factors, Treiber can calculate the flow rate of runners, knowing the “carrying capacity”(承载能力) at each point on the route.This allows Treiber to figure out how blocking might depend on the race conditions—for example, for different starting procedures.Some marathons start by letting all the runners set off at once (which means those at the back have to wait until those in front have moved forward)．Others assign runners to various groups according to ability, and let them start in a series of waves.Treiber has applied the model to the annual Rennsteig half­marathon in central Germany，which attracts around 6，000 participants.The traditional route had to be changed in 2013，because the police were no longer willing to close a road to ensure that runners could cross safely.It could pass either over a 60m wooden bridge or through a tunnel.Treiber used his model to predict the likely blocking caused in the various options.The model predicted that a mass start would risk an overload of runners if the bridge were to be used.Only by moving the starting point further back from the bridge could the danger be avoided—and even then, if some of the numbers assumed in the model were only slightly inaccurate, there was still a risk of jams at the bridge.On the other hand, no dangerous blocking seemed likely for the tunnel route.The run organizers consulted Treiber’s team, and eventually chose this option.1．What is the worst thing while running a marathon?A．The long distance.B．Too many participants.C．The dangerous blocking.D．Serious injuries in forearms.2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．James Lighthill is the first expert trying to model traffic flow.B．The denser the flow is, the faster the flow rate becomes.C．The flow rate increases in the beginning because fewer people passed together.D．The flow rate increases first and then decreases later when the flow is too denser.3．What is NOT true about the Rennsteig?A．It has much less participants than the London Marathon in 2014.B．It has a shorter distance than the London Marathon.C．The route was changed because the traditional one is not safe any longer.D．The participants running this marathon will pass a tunnel because this choice is safer.4．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Make a comparison between marathon and road traffic.B．Running a marathon is somewhat dangerous if it is not well organized.C．Introduce a new technology to solve the blocking problem in marathon.D．Some advice for people who are to run a marathon.Ⅱ.任务型阅读A．Get started!B．Forget your failures.C．Find and use your positive voice.D．Think about how far you have come.E．Spend time with people who inspire you.F．Accept failure as a positive learning experience.Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things.You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything.This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action.Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.1．________This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction：Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help. Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help. Only doing actually helps get everything going. So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you.Not starting is failing.Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.”And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.2．________Be aware of your self­talk and stay confident.You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice.A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self­belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of possibility and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.3．________There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you.They are smart and can always encourage you to be better.Study their qualities.Study their habits.Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect pare stories, successes and failures.Let their inner light guide you.4．________You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it.Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done.Think about it.Write down your past successes.Consider using a journal to keep track of them.You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results.It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come.Be happy with your progress and move on.5．________Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process.Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime.When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it.Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent.And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success.Push through!Ⅲ.书面表达假定你是李华，将于2016年7月从新华外语学校毕业。

第三讲词义猜测题A(2015· 淮安市第二次调研测试)Fuel Cell Technology for CarsFill her up with hydrogen? That’s what some California motorists may be saying soon，as car makers try to speed up production of zero emission(零排放) cars to meet state requirements in the near future.Beneath the skin of this ordinary looking Hondas FCX Concept Vehicle sits an electro­chemical reactor：a hand­built，astronomically expensive power_plant known as a fuel cell.It’s expected to be running ordinary family cars on California’s roads within three years.So what exactly is a fuel cell，anyway? Why are governments，private businesses and academic institutions cooperating to develop and produce them? A fuel cell，very simply described，is a power generator，making electricity through the combination of hydrogen and oxygen.Fuel cells generate electrical power quietly and efficiently，without pollution.Unlike power sources that use fossil fuels，the only by­products from an operating fuel cell are heat and water.To be more technical about it，a hydrogen atom with its one electron，attempts to pass through a fuel cell membrane(膜) to unite with an oxygen atom.The membrane allows only the hydrogen proton(质子) to pass through，forcing its electron to run around the membrane to catch up with the proton on the other side.This creates electricity，water，and heat，but no exhaust emissions.If the fuel cell is powered with pure hydrogen，it has the potential to be up to 80­percent efficient.That is，it turns 80 percent of the energy content of the hydrogen into electrical energy.However，we still need to turn the electrical energy into mechanical work.This is accomplished by the electric motor.A reasonable number for the ef ficiency of the motor is about 80 percent.So we have 80­percent efficiency in generating electricity，and 80­percent efficiency turning it into mechanical power.That gives an overall efficiency of about 64 percent.Honda’s FCX concept vehicle reportedly has 60­percent energy efficiency，which is twice or even three times more efficient than usual cars.But in spite of all the advantages described above，experts say，“We still have technical challenges getting this extremely complex system to work properly，the way customers expect it to work.There are challenges in using new fuels，and providing the new fuel basic facilities.And before fuel cell vehicles hit the road，there will have to be a network of hydrogen stations that will allow drivers to fill up withthe flammable gas，under 36­hundred pounds of pressure.”【解题导语】本文主要讲的是未来的新能源汽车的一些情况。

第二十九组(建议用时：25分钟)阅读理解AHe was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Mary’s School in Morris, Minn.All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million.Very neat in appearance, he had that happy­to­be­alive attitude that made even his occasional misconduct delightful.Mark often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time I had to correct him for misbehaving.“Thank you for correcting me, Sister！” I didn’t know what to make of it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I m ade a new teacher’s mistake.I looked at him and said，“If you say one more word, I am going to tape(用胶带封上) your mouth shut！”It wasn’t ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.”I hadn’t asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. I walked to my desk, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of masking tape.Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me.When I walked back to Ma rk’s desk an d removed the tape, his first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their页脚内容1classmates and write it down.It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the paper.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual.On Monday I gave each student his or her list.Before long, the entire class was smiling.“Really？” I heard the whispers.“I never knew that meant anything t o anyone！”“I didn’t know others liked me so much！”Then Mark said, “Thank you for teaching me, Sister.”No one ever mentioned those pieces of paper in class again.I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents.Several years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport.Mother gave Dad a side­ways glance and simply said，“Dad？” My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important.“The Eklunds called last night，”he bega n.“Really？”I said.“I haven’t heard from them in years.I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly.“Mark was killed in the Vietnam War，”he said.“The funeral(葬礼) is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend.”I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. Mark looked so handsome, so mature.After the funeral, Mark’s mother and father found me.“We want to show you something，”his father said.“They found this on Mark when he was killed.We thought you might recognize it.”Opening a billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times.I knew without looking that the pieces of paper were the ones on which I had listed all the good things that Mark’s classmates had said about him.“Thank you so much for doing that，”Mark’s mother said.“As you can see, Mark behaved better and better at school.It’s all because of you and your list.”Mark’s classmates started to gather around us.Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said，“I still have my list.It’s in the top drawer of my desk at home.”Chuck’s wife said, “Chuck asked me to put this in our wedding album.”“I have mine too，”Marilyn said.“It’s in my diary.”Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook,页脚内容2took out her wallet and showed her worn list to the group.“I carry this with me at all times，”Vicki said without batting an eyelash.“I think we all saved our lists.”That’s when I finally sat down and cried.1．The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to ________．A．introduce the topic of the storyB．inform readers of the writer’s jobC．introduce the main character of the storyD．make a comparison between the writer’s students2．Which of the following aspects of Mark impressed the writer most?A．His bravery shown in the Vietnam War.B．His constant talking without permission.C．His neat appearance and easy going manner.D．His sincere response after his bad behavior was corrected.3．Mother’s giving Dad a side­ways glance and father’s clearing his throat show that ________．A．they felt it hard to tell the writer about Mark’s deathB．they were not sure whether the writer would attend Mark’s funeralC．they were afraid that the writer woul dn’t believe the news of Mark’s deathD．they felt it necessary to persuade the writer into comforting Mark’s parents页脚内容34．Which can be seen as the climax (the most important point) of the story?A．Students’being asked to list each ot her’s strongest point on the paper.B．The writer’s making a big X with two pieces of tape over Mark’s mouth.C．The writer’s being shown the worn pieces of paper kept in Mark’s wallet.D．Students’smiling and whispering when they received the lists on Monday.5．At the end of the story, the writer sat down and cried, realizing that ________．A．Mark behaved so well that he gained the respect of his classmatesB．the lists made as a task in class should have meant so much to her studentsC．Mark’s death in the Vietnam War was a heavy blow to his familyD．Mark’s classmates kept their lists as a sweet memory of their happy school life6．What is the message conveyed in the story?A．Attitude means everything.B．Praise works wonders in a way.C．Patience is necessary for a teacher.D．Friendship between classmates is unforgettable.BFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention.A professor who conducted research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we页脚内容4concentrate on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act.He had us watch a video of six people tossing (投掷) basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white.The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.I’m dyslexic (患阅读困难症的), and the moment I saw that tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander.I became curious, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩) walked in among the players.She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, beat her chest with her fist, and then went away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the professor asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses in all.Hands went up all over.He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who had scored the perfect 15.Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla？”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so.He had set us up, trapping us in our own attention blindness.Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain, and I believe that it presents us with a great opportunity.My take is different from that of many neuroscientists: where they see the shortcomings of the individual, I sense an opportunity for cooperation.Fortunately, given the interactive nature of most of our lives in the digital age, we have the tools to control our different forms of attention and take advantage of them.It’s not easy to admit that everything we’ve learned about how to pay attention means that we’ve been missing everything else.It’s not easy for us logical, intelligent, confident types to admit that the very key to our success — our ability to discover a problem and solve it, an achievement obtained in all those years in school and beyond —may be exactly what limits us.No one ever told us that our way of seeing left out everything else.页脚内容57．Which of the following is TRUE about the writer when the tape was played?A．Like everyone else, the writer was counting carefully.B．The writer had difficulty keeping track of the tossers’movements.C．The writer showed great curiosity about what the players were doing.D．The writer tried hard to stop her mind from wandering.8．What’s the total number of basketball tosses by the player in white shirts in the video?A．13.B．14.C．15. D．30.9．Most of the people failed to notice the gorilla in the video because ________．A．they focused on the basketball tossing onlyB．they were trapped by the basketball playersC．they did not know what they were supposed to doD．they did not listen to the lecture carefully10．The underlined word “take”in Paragraph 5 most probably means “________ ”．A．understanding B．impressionC．scene D．preference11．In the writer’s opinion, attention blindness ________．页脚内容6A．should be viewed as a shortcoming of the individualB．might be overcome if we can discover problems and solve themC．makes it possible for us to work together for a shared purposeD．helps us to become logical, intelligent and confident types of people阅读理解A1．解析：选C。

第十七组(建议用时：25分钟)阅读理解AThe lights go out—another power failure.“Get the candles，” Mom says, and I do.My younger brother and I search every room to collect the tall candles and votives (烛台) spaced around the house.I hurry from shelf to shelf gathering wax(蜡) sticks in my arms and place them in the living room, a few candles in each corner except for a small red votive.That one I keep.It is the one I will take to the coffee table to use to read.I slide my book, Things Fall Apart, beside the candle holder, determined to finish the last three chapters, but lacking determination.So the book remains closed.A sigh escapes my brother’s lips.“This is boring，” he says.A drop of wax falls on my book.“I know，” I say, but really, I am enjoying the stillness.I like to watch the candle burn and feel that life is simple.I like to look out of the window into an immediate darkness unspoiled by unpleasant light.I love these silent moments when I feel as if I can live the way they lived, the people of the past—the Egyptians，the Pilgrims(朝圣者), the Greeks—anyone who ever lived to see the black color I’m seeing，anyone who lived to see a yellow flame and depended on it.I feel at once with a secret, ancient age.I’m convinced that night, in this disturbed state, is the closest a person can get to experiencing the past.So, what was night really like for them? Night, as we know it now, is a pleasant, loving thing compared to the incomprehensible darkness that covered Earth’s first people.Even its beauty seemed unmatched.What did a farmer’s family do at night? Of course, the darkness must have brought them together, forced them into each other’s company as it has done to us tonight —developed a close relationship in a time of fear and uncertainty.A fire probably burnt brightly in a central room where the family gathered to talk and relax. Night was a time when men and women were liberated from work and socialized.They had no computers or TVs, and had to make do with books, religion, and conversation.At their bedside, they prayed to God, and felt a sense of security that they were out of the darkness and harm’s reach.Nevertheless, to run a risk of going outside was sometimes necessary, and the threat of robbers, wolves，even the ethereal (太空精灵), was present.What emotions did these people feel? Did they witness a deep bright blue cloud across heaven? What would it have been like to feel the night, heavy and damp against my back? Would it have taken me, choked me with its powerful hands, separated me from other people? Or would those have been awful dreams, and dreams only?I imagine a young girl, stepping outside her home and into a desert for some air.A cool, earthy smell would greet her.There’s a sky with millions of stars —far more than a person could see today—and there’s the moon.It’s the la rgest object in the sky, the midnight sun that shines in the world, the traveler’s torch.It inspires stories of uncertainty, stories of power.I imagine this girl amazed at the moon and stars.If she wanders too far, she needn’t worry, for the stars will lead her back home.Bzzz! The lights return.Everyone cheers and abandons the room, happy that their period of being lonely is over, everyone except me.I pull my candle closer, and stare into the night.The glory is gone; it has been made less bright by street lamps,electric signs, TVs, and all other manners of artificial light.But in those moments, when every light in every house was off，people may have had a taste of the old world.They may finally have touched upon the slight fear，the admiration, and the respect that our ancestors felt for the night.1．We can learn from the passage that the writer thinks the power failure ________．A．allows people to simplify their lifeB．keeps people away from artificial lightsC．brings too much inconvenience to peopleD．gives people a time to taste the old lifestyle2．By saying “This is boring” (Paragraph 2), the writer’s brother most probably means that ________．A．he really dislikes the sudden power failureB．he lacks interesting books to entertain himselfC．the writer’s book is really uninterestingD．it’s dull to see wax fall on the book3．From Paragraph 4, we can learn that the farmers of the past ________．A．lived a really simple and boring lifeB．had nothing in common with modern peopleC．didn’t have to work as hard as modern peopleD．might have no choice but to stay indoors at night4．It can be inferred that when they stayed outside at night, the people of the past ________．A．would have awful dreamsB．were sure to lose their wayC．might hold some fear insideD．were faced with no danger at all5．The writer makes up the story of a young girl in order to ________．A．inspire people to explore a desertB．show his love for the beauty of nightC．to inform people of what to do at nightD．provide suggestions for traveling at night6．Why does the writer not feel happy like others when the lights return?A．Because the stars will lose their power.B．Because he’s already been used to candle light.C．Because the candle must be blown off right away.D．Because he’s cut off from his spellbound journey into the past.BBy today’s standards, my mobile phone is pretty rubbish.It’s a Nokia 1616.If that doesn’t mean much to you (it’s not the kind of phone you see advertised on television), all you need to know is that it’s a small, not very heavy device with which you can send and receive telephone calls and text messages.It also has a very handy torch on the top for when you can’t find your keys, or when you drop something on the floor in the cinema.Other than that, my phone doesn’t do much.Well, it has an alarm, and it probably has a calculator and things like that, but it’s nothing compared to a smartphone.Why would I want one of those?I have often been told that the big advantage of having a smartphone is that “you can do everything with them！” But when was the last time you saw someone doing “everything” with a smartphone? Okay, so they may have an endless list of functions, but generally they are used for checking social networking sites, playing games, and receiving and replying to emails.I’m happy just doing all of those thingsat home on my laptop.As far as I can tell, the best thing about having a smartphone is that you can be connected to the Internet all the time.Don’t get me wrong, I love the Internet, but I just don’t see the point of constantly being online.I can’t remember the last time I received a Facebook update which was so very urgent that I had to read it as soon as it appeared, and I can’t imagine ever having a job which was so important that I would need to read work­related emails immediately.I would think that if someone needed me urgently, they would just ring me rather than send an email.And my trusty Nokia can manage that.One of the most peculiar effects of the smartphone is, in my opinion, the newly ­found addiction to maps and navigation(导航) systems.Is there anything more boring than knowing exactly where you are all of the time? How do you get to know an area if you don’t getlost there a few times? And if you are dependant on online maps, what happens to those great places you find just by chance? You can’t exactly find out from google maps the journey from “here” to “that hidden cafe with the tasty­looking cakes”，or to “that pond next to the church which looks really pretty in the evening sun”. It is, of course, true that we all occasionally need to be pointed in the right direction, but I find that there are often real life humans you can ask.There are many benefits of having a very basic mobile phone, like the fact that it costs me about twenty pounds, and that I don’t have to worry too much about it being stolen.But the main benefit has to be the fact that it provides me with the world’s greatest excuse for my bad habits.Whether it’s turning up late to events, or getting lost on a trip, or missing buses or trains, or forgetting about an appointment at work, I’m pretty sure I’m covered with the following explanation：“I’m really sorry.I don’t have a smartphone.”7．The writer uses his Nokia 1616 mainly to ________．A．play online gamesB．do calculating workC．check social network sitesD．make calls and text messages8．It can be inferred from the above passage that ________．A．work­related emails should be answered immediatelyB．a laptop and a smartphone share many functionsC．smartphones should always be connected to the netD．a Facebook update is usually very important9．According to the passage, if you use navigation systems, you may ________．A．miss some really wonderful placesB．find a boring trip actually excitingC．be persuaded to eat in a certain cafeD．be misled to a totally wrong place10．To the writer, one benefit of having a basic mobile phone is that ________．A．it can remind him of important appointmentsB．it can often be found back after it is stolenC．it can be used as an excuse for his bad habitsD．it can save him the trouble of catching trains11．The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ________.A．explain why he doesn’t want a smartphoneB．warn readers of the risks of using smartphonesC．complain about the troubles caused by smartphonesD．inform readers of the latest development of mobile phones阅读理解A1．解析：选D。

专题三任务型阅读A(2015·浙江省高三第二次五校联考)A．You can’t always be in control of everything.B．You can’t accomplish things without support.C．Good things usually don’t come quickly.D．Not everyone will support you along the way.E．Sometimes bad things happen to good people.F．Death is a part of life.In the game of life，if it often seems like you’re on the losing end of things，you’re not alone.Life can be one giant confusing problem filled with ups and downs.When you feel like you’re experiencing more downs than ups，sometimes it helps to get a little tough love once in a while.That’s why we put together this list of 5 hard truths that will help you grow.1．________Great accomplishments in our lives normally don’t come easy.And if you think about it，would you have it any other way？There’s a basic psychological principle called instant satisfaction，which means that we expect to get rewards instantly.But sometimes you need to fight the impulses your brain throws at you and trust that the journey you’re on is the right one.2．________In life，there’s no shortage of doubters，haters，and pessimists.Overcoming this hard truth is simple: don’t listen.Choose to stick with your guns，trust your instincts，and forget about people who don’t support your goals and passions.3．________Listen，letting go is hard，especially if you’re a go­getter.But if you want to continue to grow，there are times when you need to give up and let things unfold how they’re meant to be，instead of controlling them.This doesn’t mean your mentality for everythin g should be “wait and hope”．You can still strive for greatness，but put the work in and then let go with complete faith that the universe will make things right for you.You’ll be amazed at how well it works.4．________Nothi ng can prepare us for the earth­s hattering pain of losing a loved one.The hard truth of life is that it’s a viscous cycle.However，there’s something you can do to make losing someone you love a lot less painful: make them a part of your life right now.Don’t put off making that phone call o r paying a random visit to a friend or family member you haven’t seen in a while.Treat every moment with your loved ones as if it’s your last，and you won’t have any regrets.5．________Suffering is part of life.But h ere’s the cool thing: it makes us strong er.There’s a randomness to how the world works that’s really hard tounderstand.We see evidence of this every day，and it can really make you question the future of mankind.How you choose to view the world is up to you.Just remember，the truth，however hard，will set you free.1．解析：选C。
