　　Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)

　　Section A

　　Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

　　When my son completes a task, I can't help but praise him. It's only natural to give praise where praise is due, right? But is there such a thing as too much praise?

　　According to psychologist Katherine Phillip, children don’t benefit from _26_praise as much as we’d like to think. “Parents often praise, believing they are building their child’s self-confidence. However, over-praising can have a _27_ effect,” says Phillip. “When we use the same praise _28_, it may become empty and no longer valued by the child. It can also become an expectation that anything they do must be _29_ with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking risks due to fear of _30_ their parents.”

　　Does this mean we should do away with all the praise? Phillip says no. “The key to healthy praise is to focus on the process rather than the _31_. It is the recognition of a child’s attempt, or the process in which they achieved something, that is essential,” she says. “Parents should encourage their child to take the risks needed to learn and grow.”

　　So how do we break the _32_ of praise we’re all so accustomed to? Phillip says it’s important to _33_ between “person praise” and “process raise”. “Person praise is _34_ saying how great someone is. It’s a form of personal approval. Process praise is acknowledgement of the efforts the person has just _35_. Children who receive person praise are more likely to feel shame after losing,” says Phillip.

　　【答案】 BGKLC HIDNO

　　【解析】

　　26. B

　　词性判断：空格处位于praise(n.表扬)前，故该空格处单词为形容词。

　　含义带入：联系上下文可知，首段内容是父母给孩子表扬过多。该句呈上衔接：孩子并不会像我们想象的那样从不断的表扬中受益，故选B，constant adj. 不断的，经常的。

　　27. G

　　词性判断：根据空格处前的不定冠词a以及后面effect(n.)，判断该空格处应填形容词。

　　含义带入：根据句间逻辑：转折逻辑连接词however，可推知前后句表意相反。前句说父母经常赞扬，帮助孩子建立自信心，后句表反义，即，赞扬带来的不利影响。故选G negative adj. 负面的。

　　28. K

　　词性判断：该句主谓宾结构完整，根据“什么都不缺，就把副词添”原则，可判断该空格处为副词。

　　含义带入：根据句意：当我们重复地使用同样的表扬，故选K，repeatedly adv.反复的。

　　29. L

　　词性判断：空白处于must be后，且主语是物anything，物做主语时，be后面多为被动语态，故填过去分词(v-ed)。

　　含义带入：该空格处位于that引导的定语从句里，修饰expectation，应实现含义一致，故选L，rewarded 奖励。

　　30. C

　　词性判断：of是介词，介词后应该填入名词n.或动名词doing，空格处后也是名词，该空白处应为动名词doing。

　　含义带入：根据of前的名词fear可知，该空白处负面含义更合适，故选择C。

　　31. H

　　词性判断：定冠词the后面应添加名词。

　　含义带入：逻辑关系词rather than为“而不是”的含义，该空白处与前文并列的the process(过程)含义相反，故选H 项outcome n. 结果。

　　32. I

　　词性判断：定冠词the后面应添加名词。

　　含义带入：根据句意：我们该如何打破我们一直习惯于的赞美模式呢?打破(break)模式(pattern)，实现搭配，故选I。

　　33. D

　　词性判断：to后面，填动词原形

　　含义带入：根据文意可知区分对个人的称赞和对过程的称赞很重要，故选D项 distinguish v.区分，辨别。

　　34. N

　　词性判断：主系表结构，结构完整，填副词修饰saying。

　　含义带入：根据文意，对个人的表扬仅仅是说这个人有多么好。故选N项simply adv. 仅仅。

　　35. O

　　词性判断：has just后面为空白处，因此这里使用了现在完成时，空格处应填过去分词形式。

　　含义带入：空白处所在句子是修饰effort的定语从句，故该动词与effort实现搭配关系，undertaken 从事、承担，可实现搭配，故选O项undertaken。
