II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A (15’)

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and

grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of

the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

For the entirety of my adult life, I have tried to avoid driving. I could claim all sorts of noble

reasons for this: concern about the environment, a desire to save money, the health benefits gained

from walking or biking. But the main reason is (21) _ I’m anxious.

Then came the pandemic. After more than a year in our Manhattan neighborhood, my family

of three (22) (long) for new surroundings. So, for the first time in my life, I signed up

for formal driving lessons.

A. influencersB. resists C. approachesD. confidenceE. headlinesF. racist

G. centers H. exaggeratedlyI. central J. offense K. respectively

On that first day, I arrived queasy (心神不定的), muscles tensed and brain (23) high

alert. My instructor, however, told me something that nobody ever had: “The fear never leaves

you. You have to learn to make use of it.”

The idea that I did not need to completely erase my anxiety was freeing. Having some anxiety

— especially when (24) (face) with a stressful situation — is not necessarily bad and

can actually be helpful, experts say.

According to the Yerkes-Dodson Law, a theory (25) (originate) from experiments

on mice in the early 20th century, a certain degree of anxiety can help people anticipate obstacles

and stay organized.

Seth Gillihan, a psychologist in Philadelphia, used to feel anxious before starting his

workday. At the time, he focused on managing his anxiety (26)

examining what was causing it, and eventually realized that the anxiety itself was not the problem.

As a result, he cut back his clinic hours and spent additional time writing and podcasting, two of

his passions. Now, Gillihan is grateful that he listened to (27) his body was trying to tell him

rather than trying to suppress those feelings.

Furthermore, anxious people tend to be careful and cautious. They (28) channel

those tendencies into conscientiousness. Alice Boyes, the author of The Anxiety Tool-kit, was the

kind of kid who was always having tummy aches before sports events at school. (29) she

grew up, Boyes continued to worry about things going wrong, but she also started making

contingency plans (应变计划). Being prepared for unforeseen events helped to calm her fears and

reduce the likelihood of any worst-case scenarios.

In my case, preparing ahead of time was what eventually gave me the confidence to drive

upstate. It took eight driving lessons, a nervous last-minute text to my instructor, and a rental car

with advanced safety features. Finally, my family packed up and set off. “Mama is a driver!” my

four-year-old daughter exclaimed from the back seat. “That’s right!” I replied, (30) _

(start) to feel a glimmer of pride. “I am.”

Section B (15)

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only

be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

I Am What I Am (also known as Lion Dance Boy), a

Chinese animated feature released on Dec 17,2021, has found

itself in the eye of a social-media storm—about eyes.

The film (31) _ around three teenagers from

Guangdong province who set out to master the traditional lion

dance. While ancient culture is (32) to the plot, the

setting is very much the real-world China of today. This alone

sets the film apart from most recent Chinese animated hits:

works of high fantasy related to mythology(神话).

Pushing the realism, the filmmakers opted to give the characters relatively small eyes. The idea

was to break away from the “beauty standards of online (33) and filter aesthetic（审

美） ” and to try “to explore the aesthetic in animation---from an angle of reality.” writes The
