Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say — far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out.
“Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.”
He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department Besides, I have another suggestion…”
Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude.
Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.
The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job.
24. What is Mary’s problem
A. She was too self-conscious. B. She had nothing to say with people.
C. She had too many thoughts in mind. D. She didn’t know how to communicate.
25. Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary
A. To offer advice on her development. B. To make her feel comfortable.
C. To give her a job promotion. D. To point out her problem.
26. How did Mary feel when creating her essay
A. Confident. B. Unsure. C. Serious. D. Relaxed.
27. What can we know from Mary’s experience
A. It is never too late to learn. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Losses on one side and gains on the other. D. Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence.
C
Cloning is a technique scientists use to make exact genetic copies of living things. Genes, cells, tissues, and even whole animals can all be cloned.
Some clones already exist in nature. Single-celled organisms like bacteria make exact copies of themselves each time they reproduce. In humans, identical twins are similar to clones. They share almost the exact same genes. Identical twins are created when a fertilized egg splits in two. Scientists also make clones in the lab. They often clone genes in order to study and better understand them. To clone a gene, researchers take DNA from a living creature and insert it into a carrier like bacteria or yeast (酵母菌). Every time that carrier reproduces, a new copy of the gene is made.
In 1996, Scottish scientists cloned the first animal, a sheep they named Dolly. She was cloned by using an udder cell taken from an adult sheep. Since then, scientists have cloned cows, cats, deer, horses, and rabbits. They still have not cloned a human, though. In part, this is because it is difficult to produce a viable clone. In each attempt, there can be genetic mistakes that prevent the clone from surviving. It took scientists 276 attempts to get Dolly right. There are also ethical concerns about cloning a human being.
An embryo made by cloning can be turned into a stem cell factory. Stem cells are an early form of cells that can grow into many different types of cells and tissues. Scientists can turn them into nerve cells to fix a damaged spinal (脊髓) cord or insulin-making cells to treat diabetes (糖尿病). Livestock like cows and pigs have been cloned to produce more milk or meat. Clones can even bring a beloved pet that has died back to life. In 2001, a cat named CC was the first pet to be created through cloning.
28. What can be cloned naturally
A. Single-celled organisms. B. A fertilized egg.
C. A specified gene. D. A carrier.
29. What does the underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Complete. B. Identical.
C. Successful. D. Useful.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The cloning of embryos. B. Applications of cloning.
C. The cloning treatment for diseases. D. The success in cloning pets.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment. B. Science.
C. Health. D. Education.
D
Back in the distant past, job candidates had interests or hobbies. For example, reading a book was a perfectly acceptable way of spending your spare time. No longer. Today you will probably be asked if you have a “personal passion project”, and the more exhausting your answer sounds, the better.
Passion is becoming basic for workplace success. A new piece of research from Jon Jachimowicz and Hannah Weisman of Harvard Business School includes an analysis of 200 million job postings in America. It finds that the number which mentions “passion” rose over time, from 2% in 2007 to 16% in 2019.
On the surface this makes sense. Better, surely, for an employee to be enthusiastic than not. Most workers want to do a job they love; most companies want a workforce that is committed and motivated.
But passion can affect judgment. For firms, the obvious danger is rewarding commitment over competence. The super-keen employee who volunteers for everything may not be that great at their job. Some research finds that passion may indeed be blinding managers to reality: it finds that even when the performance of passionate employees is on the downward slope, they are still more likely to be given promotions than peers who tend not to say much.
There are only so many ways to communicate passion. Widening your eyes and nodding wildly: too weird. Jumping, cheering and sweating: even weirder. Working ever longer hours, on the other hand, is a fairly simple way to show that your commitment is beyond question.
It is great to feel passion for your job. But if you are up at 4 am for a meeting with Asia, constantly working on your holiday or have just been handed a mop (抹布) and a bucket by your boss, you are in the grasp of something that is not entirely healthy.
32. What do the statistics in Paragraph 2 indicate
A. Passion is valued in workplace.
B. Success depends on working passion.
C. The study has been newly conducted.
D. Lots of job postings are provided nowadays.
33. What can we know from the fourth paragraph
A. Managers tend to promote talented employees.
B. It is dangerous to reward passionate employees.
C. Passionate employees may be promoted improperly.
D. The employee who shows passion is not a good one.
34. What is the author’s attitude toward passion at work
A. Supportive. B. Objective.
C. Negative. D. Uncaring.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Greater Pressure from Work B. The Fashion for Passion
C. Higher Demand for Interests D. The Advantages of Passion

W: Hello! Welcome to our online parent teacher meeting. We are so excited to share information about our next field trip for first and second grade class. We will be going to the Hands On Children’s Museum in Olympia where the kids will be able to see exhibits on art and science. The date for the field trip is Tuesday, 28th February. So we will leave the school at 10 am and arrive at the museum around 10:30, and head back to the school around 12:30 pm. We will get a free bus ride, which is awesome because it will save us a lot of money. The cost per child is still not confirmed because we are waiting for the museum to apply a discount, but it should not be more than 8 dollars. The museum requires one volunteer parent for every 5 children, so we will need at least ten of them. Also as a reminder that children need to pack their own lunch. If you wish to attend the field trip and volunteer, please let us know via email, by adding your name to the list linked below as soon as possible.

改错题解析
people of all ages “各个年龄段的人”, age应该用复数形式；
主谓一致，主语为Every student，谓语应为单数；
rope为可数名词，此处意为“你需要一根短绳”；
of为介词，your形容词性物主代词，后跟名词，考查词性转换 high的名词为height；
skip为动词，副词修饰动词，考查词性转换safe的副词为safely；
It might help with后面无宾语，意为“如果你跳绳的时候哼着调，可以有所帮助”，with在此处无用处；
while skipping，考查状语从句的省略；
than usual，其前应为比较级；
“在你伤害自己前停下休息”，主语和宾语相同，宾语选择反身代词；
pick，finding and start为祈使句的三个并列谓语，finding应改为原形。
