二、完形填空(每小题1分,共15分)
There is one thing which can be easily learnt in only five minutes, and it can have a great influence on your life and the lives of your children or students. It is called the “Growth Mindset”(成长型思维). It is simple, powerful, and confirmed by a lot of scientific ______16______.
In a series of experiments, the Stanford researcher, Carol Dweck, ______17______ students into two groups and gave them relatively ______18______ Maths tests. The students all did ______19______ in the tests—half of them were praised for having a great gift, and half were praised for working hard.
After that, they were given harder Maths tests. The ones who were praised for ______20______ performed better in the more difficult exams. They quickly ______21______ what Dweck calls the “Growth Mindset”. When they ______22______ more difficult problems, they think “hard work got me this far, so I just ______23______ to work a bit harder and I will work out the problems.”
However, students who were praised for being clever acted ______24______. They might think “perhaps I’m not that clever after all, ______25______ I can’t work out these harder problems.” As a result, they would quickly ______26______ and develop the bad habit of avoiding any difficult situation or avoiding learning something ______27______!
So, what can you do? If you are a parent or a ______28______, praise efforts rather than the innate (先天的) ability. And for yourself, you’d better owe your own ______29______ to efforts rather than the innate ability. Believe that it is a ______30______ of your efforts rather than some innate gift. It is really that simple!

三、阅读理解（每小题2分，共20分）
A
(an extract from a detective story)
“Sit down,” Henderson said, sitting down in an armchair himself and looking at Logan. “What are you here for?”
“I understand you had a party last night,” said Logan, a police officer.
“Yes,” said Henderson. “Oh! I hope the neighbours haven’t been complaining about the noise again.”
“Not that I know of,” said Logan. “But a young girl, Fran, who came to the party hasn’t been home yet.”
“Fran!” said Henderson. “Yes, she was here. She left early, as I remember—about one o’clock. I happened to notice what the time was when she came to say goodbye. But nobody else left until about four in the morning.”
Henderson looked quite relaxed.
“Did you know Clare?” asked Logan suddenly.
“Oh, God!” Henderson sat forward. “You don’t think ... the same thing has happened to Fran?”
“We’re keeping an open mind,” said Logan, watching him carefully, “but we’re giving it our full attention.”
“Well, yes. I can understand that,” replied Henderson, getting comfortable in the armchair again.
“So,” repeated Logan, “did you know Clare?”
“Well, sure. I knew who she was. But we never had anything to do with each other,” said Henderson, giving Logan a big smile.
“Who else was at your party?” asked Logan.
“People from the university,” said Henderson. “Students, teachers.”
“David?” asked Grant, Logan’s partner.
“Yes, David was here for a time,” Henderson smiled again. “But he’s not really a party animal. He probably left early.”
“What do you mean, probably?” asked Grant. Henderson looked at Grant. Grant was sixty with thick black hair and a large moustache. His clothes, as always, looked rather old: a blue jacket and grey trousers. He did not look much of a party animal either.
“Well, I don’t check when my guests arrive and leave,” said Henderson. “And some people just leave when they want to go home. They don’t come and say goodbye. Anyway, sometimes I can be difficult to find.” Again he looked at Logan, raised his eyebrows and gave him a big smile. “I sometimes end up in the balcony.”
( ) 31. How many characters are mentioned in the story?
A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven. D. Eight.
( ) 32. Why did Logan and Grant go to Henderson’s house?
A. Because the girl Fran who attended the party disappeared.
B. Because they went to the party held in Henderson’s house.
C. Because Henderson’s neighbours called them for the noise.
D. Because they wanted to know why Henderson held the party.
( ) 33. What can be inferred from Grant’s question “What do you mean, probably?”
A. Grant helped Logan to ask this question.
B. Grant didn’t understand Henderson’s words.
C. Grant himself wasn’t a party animal like David.
D. Grant wanted to know the exact time of David’s leaving.
