Danielle Steel, America’s sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research alone before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of “Max and Martha” picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new babies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her unique style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
24. Danielle Steel is different from other writers in that _______.
A. she can write several books at the same time
B. she often does some research before writing a book
C. she is one of the most popular American women writers
D. she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break
25. Children who have read “Max and Martha” picture books may know _______.
A. how to deal with affairs at school
B. what to do if Max and Martha die
C. what to do when new babies are born into their families
D. how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes
26. One of Danielle Steel’s achievements is that _______.
A. some TV plays were based on her books B. her picture books attracted a lot of young men
C. one of her books became a best-seller in 1998 D. she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records
27. We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel _______.
A. lives an exciting life B. values her readers a lot
C. writes about quiet women D. is pleased with her achievements
C
I’ve visited several controversial (有争议的) dam sites around the world. For all of them, the tension has been between the national economic advantage offered by the dam and the local environment and social damage caused by its construction. The countries often sell the power to international neighbors, rather than directly improve electricity access to the local people.
Some countries, such as Chile, which is planning to build a dam across Patagonian Rivers, and Laos, which plans to dam the Mekong, rely on energy imports and so hydro (电能) is a very attractive domestic option. Other countries, such as Brazil which is planning the world’s third largest dam at Belo Monte, China which recently completed the largest dam at Three Gorges, and Ethiopia which is planning dams along the Omo, insist that these dams are essential for national economic development.
The economic benefits can be huge. The Aswan Dam on Egypt’s Nile, for example, was highly controversial when it was built in the 1960’s. Yet for all the environmental damage to its downstream river system, it’s very difficult for you to find an Egyptian that is in favor of its removal. The dam has been an outstanding economic success, bringing improved harvests from better irrigation despite drought conditions, hydropower and flood protection worth billions of dollars.
So if we accept that many controversial dams are going to be built, how can we limit their damage Jamie Skinner, who was senior advisor to the World Commission on Dams, and now heads the Water division at the International Institute for Environment and Development, suggests the answer might be to issue dam builders with limited-length licenses. “In America, the licenses are only for 30 or 50 years, after which there is a review. The reason why many dams are being removed there now is that their licenses have expired (到期) and the dams would no longer pass the stricter environmental planning regulations.” he says.
28. How do the countries gain their economic benefits from dams
A. By exporting the power. B. By improving the local environment.
C. By increasing the energy charge. D. By improving the local use of electricity.
29. The examples are given in the second paragraph in order to show _______.
A. these countries are in great need of power
B. local people are eager to benefit from dams
C. dams bring huge economic benefits to the countries
D. the benefits as well as the disadvantages of dams are huge
30. Why do Egyptians oppose removing the Aswan Dam
A. They are used to living around the dam. B. They are well protected against the drought.
C. They regard it as the symbol of their country. D. They benefit from the dam more than expected.
31. What is the key way of limiting dam’s damage according to Jamie Skinner
A. Reviewing the dams every year. B. Giving dam builders more freedom.
C. Removing the dams every 30 or 50 years. D. Making stricter environmental planning rules.
D
When you don’t have a car and need to get around, are you more likely to call for an Uber or Lyft, or a cab Last Friday, Lyft—the ride-sharing company, went public as its stocks (股票) started trading on the market. Lyft has become the first big initial public offering of the “gig economy” age. While the company is not making profits yet, it is changing the meaning of work. What is gig economy and what makes it so appealing
Gig works are independent contracts or part-time jobs such as Uber. In the gig economy, companies hire independent contractors instead of full-time employees. This is different from traditional companies where full-time workers hold a lifetime career. In the past, only small companies hired contractors, while today, employers like Amazon and Google rely on temporary workforce. These companies save costs as they are not legally required to provide healthcare benefits, retirement savings or paid time off to gig workers.
Gig work appeals to different people for different reasons. For some, it affords flexible timings and for others who are looking for full-time jobs, it provides a source of income to support themselves. Some people work a full-time job and supplement (补充) their salary with gig jobs such as driving for Uber or Lyft.
Joining the gig economy may be simple, but maintaining a steady career is easier said than done. Gig work comes with unsteady pay and workloads. You’re your own boss. It sounds fun, but when you have no self-control and an unsteady job, you might splurge all your money the first week and live on bread pieces for the rest of the month! Besides a strong sense of responsibility, gig workers have to stay up to date to get companies to hire them.
Despite the challenges gig workers face, nearly 60 million Americans are part of this workforce. As this number grows, we have to see how society and companies adapt to this new world of work!
32. What can be learned about Lyft from the passage
A. It has built up a large fortune.
B. It employs a fixed number of full-time workers.
C. It appeals to people as a means of public transport.
D. It marks the arrival of gig economy age.
33. Who are most likely to become gig workers
A. People seeking for a steady income. B. People in need of flexible working hours.
C. Those desperate to get paid vacations. D. Those concerned about retirement accounts.
34. What does the underlined word “splurge” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Spend money freely. B. Save money automatically.
C. Earn money quickly. D. Assign money casually.
35. What is the message mainly conveyed in the passage
A. Gig workers have to face some potential challenges.
B. Gig workers have to possess some much-needed qualities.
C. The appearance of gig companies will solve the job problems.
D. People should adjust to new work trends with the rise of gig companies.

Did you know that about 90% of people in the world are right-handed Although this subject is rarely discussed, life is often difficult for lefties in a right-handed world.
Many cultures have not been friendly to lefties over the years. __36__ In Latin, it was connected with something “unlucky” and “evil”. In Old English, “left” meant “weak”. In Islamic culture, people commonly use their left hand to clean themselves after they use the toilet, so many Muslims feel the left hand is unclean.
Because of these ideas, parents often force their left-handed children to write with their right hands. __37__ Studies show that forcing left-handed children to use the right hand can cause learning disorders and speech issues. Besides these challenges, lefties must use tools which aren’t made for them. Most scissors, knives, and musical instruments are designed for righties. Using these items can be difficult or even dangerous for lefties.
__38__ Some believe that it occurs due to gene movements in the spinal cord before birth. Another study has said that there are social reasons why few people are lefties. People may choose to become right-handed to fit in with others.
Though there are challenges, being left-handed can be good in many ways. __39__ This is because right-handers who play against them are not used to their moves. Some studies have also found that on average, left-handers are better at remembering things and dealing with difficult math problems.
Today, society’s ideas about being left-handed have started to change. More and more people believe that being left-handed is a gift to a person instead of a curse. __40__ It’s on August 13 and called International Lefthanders Day. Left-handed people gather together to celebrate. This special day lets people know that it’s OK if things aren’t all right all the time.
A. Left-handers have some disadvantages.
B. There’s even a special day for left-handers.
C. Being a left-hander sometimes does better jobs.
D. For starters, left-handers might do better in sports.
E. Scientists still aren’t sure why people become left-handed.
F. The word was linked to negative ideas in several languages.
G. Unfortunately, this can cause problems with their development.

I was a happy kid with a supportive family and a lot of friends. But frankly speaking, growing up was really 41 and even painful.

But I didn’t realize that I was the one who 42 myself in the toughest way.
After I graduated from high school, my 43 to be “thin” began to trouble me. I went on a diet. In the beginning I dieted by controlling food and gradually I started 44 meals. I lost weight day by day and felt super good. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly 45 myself.
People around me began to 46 my weight loss. They said with concern, “You’re losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you’re so skinny.” All their words only suggested that I was getting closer to “ 47 ”.
Sadly, I took my physical 48 the first important in my life, 49 that it was the way to become attractive and accepted. Then I cut down my 50 more and more, until a 51 day including half a teaspoon of nonfat yoghurt and black coffee in the morning, and a cup of grapes at night.
But my poor 52 began to cause me to lose 53 . Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn’t sleep, and my heart felt as though it might beat out of my chest. I tried to 54 , but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer 55 . What I had done to diet nearly caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really 56 , and I knew I needed help. My roommate rushed me to the 57 , beginning the long road to my 58 . It took a lot—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, and food supplements.
And more importantly, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality. I realized that, with my 59 of trying to be “perfect” on the 60 , I had sacrificed who I was inside my body. Now what I know is, we are—every one of us—already perfect enough.

As far as I’m concerned, hard work is much important than intelligence. Firstly, as known to all, a knife will not be sharp if not sharpen regularly. The same is true of studying. In other words, unless you don’t study hard and only depend on your intelligence, perhaps you can get some achievements and stand out in the beginning. But it is no doubt that you will fall behind those whom work hard in the end. Secondly, most great people, like Edison, were not smart at the school, but they get lots of achievements through hard work. However, it proves that hard work can help you to make progresses in study and become a great person.

W: You don’t look so well. Anything wrong
M: Yes. Yesterday I had to take my mother to hospital due to high blood sugar.
W: Anything serious
M: Not really. All she has to do is follow a strict diet.
(Text 2)
M: You have been talking on the phone since you woke up this morning.
W: You see, I have lost my notes for an important meeting. So I called some friends to help me out.
(Text 3)
M: Were you late home again last night
W: Yes. I went to a party which finished at 10:00 so I didn’t come back home until 11 at night.
M: You should be back at least 30 minutes earlier.
(Text 4)
W: Did you manage to get everything on my list
M: I think so. Two bottles of milk, half a dozen eggs, some meat…
W: Where is the fish

(Text 5)

W: Hello, everyone. I’d like to tell you why I set up the running club. When I injured my back several years ago, I had to take a break from running. I decided to introduce more women to the sport, to show them how much fun it can be and to give them the confidence to get out and run.
I decided to start a running club for women in my area. I put up advertisements and 40 women joined. All of them were attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had really thought about running before. When or if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn’t think of chatting or smiling while running in beautiful places, like by a river.
At first they ran for only a minute—now they can run for thirty minutes. I’ve had so much pleasure watching their progress—almost as much as they’ve had themselves.
(Text 7)
W: Hello, my name is Crystal Huntsman. Is this Mr. Dover, the hotel manager
M: Thank you for calling, Ms Huntsman. Actually, this is the reception desk. Is there something that I can help you with
W: I applied for a housekeeping position last week and I just got a message from Mr. Dover asking to call him. He wanted to arrange a time for an interview.
M: In that case, it is best to speak to Mr. Dover directly. He’s in right now, so please hold on while I put you through to his office.
W: OK. Thank you.
