　　37. Focusing on effort is effective in helping children overcome frustration and achieve success.

　　專注于努力在幫助孩子戰勝挫折，獲得成功方面是有效的=由題干中的Focusing on effort和achieve success定位到原文畫線處

　　該段句提到，比起歸因于缺乏努力，把糟糕的表現歸因于缺乏能力對積極性的打擊更大。因此應該讓孩子專注于付出努力會幫助他們勇敢地面對挫折，獲得成功。題干二中的overcome frustration對應原文中的resolve helplessness，achieve對應generate，故答案為C。

　　38. I

　　39. B

　　40. In the author's experiment, students with a growth mind-set showed greater perseverance in solving difficult math problems.

　　在作者的實驗中，擁有成長思維模式的學生在解決數學難題時表現出更強大的毅力，

　　由題干中的greater perseverance和difficult定位到原文畫線處。

　　該段開頭提到這兩種不同看法或者說兩種思維模式會對學生的學業表現產生重大影響，但這種影響并不會在一開始顯現出來。當課程的難度逐漸增大時，擁有成長思維模式的學生會表現出更強大的毅力。題干中的perseverance對應原文中的persistence，題干是對原文的同義轉述，故答案為G。

　　41. E

　　42. After failing again and again, most animals give up hope.

　　在一次又一次的失敗之后，大多數動物都會放棄希望。

　　由題干中的failing again and again和give up hope定位到原文畫線處。

　　定位句指出賓夕法尼亞大學的心理學家們做的動物實驗表明，大多數動物在遭遇多次失敗之后，都會認為沒有希望了，對于糟糕的情況它們束手無策，、題干中的failing again and again對應原文中的repeated failures：give up hope對應原文中的hopeless，故答案為A。

　　43. J

　　45. H

　　Section C

　　Passage One

　　46.C。

　　47.B。

　　48.A。由題干中Danish taxation on fat-rich foods定位至第三段第三句：By contrast, a Danish tax on foods high in fats was abandoned a year after its introduction, amid claims that consumers were avoiding it by crossing the border to Germany to satisfy their desire for cheaper.fattier fare.

　　事實細節題。第三段討論了糖、酒、煙稅的有效性問題。墨西哥的酒稅是有效的，但是丹麥征收的高脂肪食品稅卻在執行一年后就被廢除了，因為消費者為避免納稅可以跨境去德國購買能滿足其需求且更便宜、脂肪含量更高的食品。由此可知，A.“沒有像預期的那樣有效”符合原文意思，故本題答案為A。

　　B.“帶來了許多邊境問題”、C.“沒有德國的合作不可能成功”在原文中均未提及，故均排除;D.“遇到了食品業的堅決反對”雖然符合第四段句的表述，但是第三段中并沒有明確指出丹麥的政策是否遇到了抵制，故排除。

　　Passage Two

　　全文翻譯

　　你可能聽說過時尚行業的一些恐怖故事：模特們吃下紙巾或棉花球來抵抗饑餓，她們走下T臺后不久就因饑餓導致的心臟病而倒下。

　　(51)幾十年以來過瘦的模特一直是爭論的焦點，兩位研究者稱模特的體重應該成為職場健康的安全問題。(52)在星期一發行的《美國公共健康雜志》上，凱瑟琳·雷科德和布瑞恩·奧斯汀闡述了政府加強時尚行業管理的理由。

　　國際T臺模特的體重指數(BMI)平均不到l6——按照世界衛生組織的標準足以表明饑餓。(53)雷科德和奧斯汀擔憂的不僅僅是模特本身，還有受模特形象影響的大量盤性。

　　“尤其是女孩和青少年。”雷科德說，“70%的l0～18歲女孩認為，她們根據在雜志上看到的來定義什么是完美體型。”雷科德說這尤其讓人擔心，因為根據國家精神健康研究院統計，厭食癥導致的死亡人數比任何其他精神疾病都要多。

　　眾所周知，某些疾病與職業相關，例如煤礦工人易得肺病。由于職業需要保持極瘦的體型，專業模特尤其易患飲食失調。

　　雷科德的建議是禁止模特代理公司雇傭體重指數低于l8的模特。

　　(54)四月份，法國通過了一項法律，給模特的體重規定了更低的限制。模特代理公司和時尚企業如果雇用體重指數低于l8的模特，要繳納82000美元的罰款，入獄達6個月。雷科德說監管美國的時尚業并不輕松。但是隨著法國通過了新法律，在美國的支持會大有不同。(55)她補充道，“如果不參加巴黎時尚周，一個設計師都無法生存。我們認為.紐約時尚周也應如此。”

　　參考譯文

　　In Chinese culture, yellow is a color occupying a fairly prominent position, which is endowed with unique symbolic significance. In the feudal society, yellow stands for the ruler's power and authority. At that time,yellow was specially designed for the emperor, with the royal palace painted yellow and the imperial robealways being yellow while the ordinary people were never being permitted to wear yellow. In China, yellow is also the symbol of harvest. When crops are ripening in the fall, farmers celebrate the harvest in high spirits,with the fields taldng on a vast expanse of golden appearance.
