I am sitting at the table in my favorite Boston bookstore-café, laptop open, writing. Ten minutes ago I ordered coffee. The server—a young, dark-haired woman with a broad smile and glasses—stopped and quietly said, “I just want to tell you how much your TED talk meant to me, you helped me find out what I really wanted to do with my life—go to medical school—and then you helped me do what I needed to do to get there. Thank you.”
Tears in my eyes, I asked, “What’s your name ”
“Fetaine,” she said. Then we talked for the next ten minutes about Fetaine’s challenges in the past and new-found excitement about her future.
Everyone who communicates with me is special and memorable, but this kind of communication happens far more often than I’d ever have expected: a stranger warmly greets me, shares a personal story about how they successfully dealt with difficulties, and then simply thanks me for my part in it. They are women and men, old and young, poor and wealthy. But something connects them: all have felt powerless in the face of great pressure and anxiety(焦虑), and all discovered a quite simple way to free themselves from that feeling of powerlessness.
For most writers, the book comes first, then the responses. For me, it was the other way around. First, I performed experiments that led to a talk I gave at the TEDGlobal conference in 2012. In that talk, I discussed some interesting findings about how we can quickly increase our confidence and decrease(减轻) our anxiety in challenging situations. I also shared my own troubles and how I learned to become more confident. Soon after the twenty-one-minute video of the talk was posted on the Internet, I began hearing from people who had seen it.
Of course, watching my talk didn’t magically give Fetaine the knowledge she needed to do well on Medical College Admission Test. But it may have helped her get out of the fear that could have prevented her from expressing the things she knew.
24. What happened in the Boston bookstore-café
A. The writer waited ten minutes for her coffee.
B. The writer came across a friend of hers.
C. A waitress expressed her thanks to the writer.
D. A waitress encouraged the writer to give a TED talk.
25. What do those people who communicate with the writer have in common
A. They once faced problems and felt helpless.
B. They shared personal stories about strangers.
C. They were famous but under great pressure.
D. They were afraid to communicate with others.
26. What may be the theme of the writer’s talk in 2012
A. How to increase confidence. B. How to perform meaningful experiments.
C. How to overcome anxiety in a talk. D. How to find interesting things in life.
27. How did the writer influence Fetaine in the writer’s eyes
A. She gave Fetaine power to look to the future.
B. She helped Fetaine with her knowledge.
C. She advised Fetaine to go to medical school.
D. She helped Fetaine to get a good job.
C
Clark’s Nutcrackers generally live in high mountain whitebark pine (白皮松) forests. They seem to prefer forests that open or, at least, with frequent openings. The bird has a gray body with black wings and tail. If you were to draw a cartoon combining a crow with a woodpecker( KNA), you would have the Clark’s Nutcracker. It is a member of the family Corvidae, which includes crows. It was first discovered during the Lewis and Clark Expedition — the first American expedition to cross what is now the western part of the US. Clark described it as “some form of woodpecker”.
The nutcracker consumes the seeds of the whitebark pine. In late summer and fall, the tracker will begin to store its seeds. The bird buries the seeds in the soil. A single Clark’s Nutcracker may store upwards of 30, 000 seeds each year, and there may be as many as 1, 000 separate storage sites. In the winter, they will get the seeds back for food.
This creature, however, does not just rely on its food stores. Much of its diet consists of pine seeds and the remainder is composed of nuts, berries, insects, eggs, and in the winter dead animals flesh. They search for food in the trees and on the ground. They catch insects out of midair in flight. Occasionally, the bird becomes a woodpecker using its specialized mouth to pound dead wood for insects.
The nutcracker possesses the behavior suitable to spread the seeds constantly.
The bird stores them deep enough in the soil to greatly reduce the problem of rodents (啮齿动物) finding the seeds. It will certainly fail to get back a certain percentage of its food. The unused seeds will then start to grow and become new trees so not only does the Clark’s Nutcracker take advantage of the whitebark pine, the tree uses the bird too.
28. What do we know about the Clark’s Nutcracker
A. It looks like a kind of crow
B. It has bright and colorful body
C. It likes living in the riverside.
D. It belongs to a species of Corvidae.
29. Which of the following best describes the nutcracker
A. caring and fierce
B. sensitive and beautiful
C. hardworking and intelligent
D. clever and selfless
30. What does the last paragraph convey
A. The nutcracker can help to spread seeds.
B. The nutcracker faces the danger of dying out.
C. Rodents are the whitebark pine’s main enemies.
D. The birds can hide their food inside the whitebark pine.

【答案】16. A 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. B
【原文】
Hi, my name is Sam Conti and my job is making and selling chocolate. People often ask how I got into this business. Well, my parents wanted me to study medicine or economics at university, but at the time I thought law might open more doors, so that’s what I did. But life doesn’t always work out the way you plan it.
After college, I spent one year in South America, where I fell in love with growing cocoa beans. It is not an easy job, because cocoa beans can be easily affected by weather—much more than other fruit like apples or bananas. In fact, the beans are more like grapes, so each year’s crop is of a different quality.
When I came home, I decided to open a small shop making and selling my own chocolate. That was hard work I can tell you, because so much can go wrong with chocolate. The hardest bit is melting it in the right way, but cooling it correctly isn’t easy, either. To learn the trade, I set about testing all the chocolate I could find.
Another thing I like to do is write up my experiments I keep a diary for this. It’s the key to my success.

Everyone who communicates with me is special and memorable, but this kind of communication happens far more often than I’d ever have expected: a stranger warmly greets me, shares a personal story about how they successfully dealt with difficulties, and then simply thanks me for my part in it. They are women and men, old and young, poor and wealthy. But something connects them: all have felt powerless in the face of great pressure and anxiety(焦虑), and all discovered a quite simple way to free themselves from that feeling of powerlessness.
For most writers, the book comes first, then the responses. For me, it was the other way around. First, I performed experiments that led to a talk I gave at the TEDGlobal conference in 2012. In that talk, I discussed some interesting findings about how we can quickly increase our confidence and decrease(减轻) our anxiety in challenging situations. I also shared my own troubles and how I learned to become more confident. Soon after the twenty-one-minute video of the talk was posted on the Internet, I began hearing from people who had seen it.
Of course, watching my talk didn’t magically give Fetaine the knowledge she needed to do well on Medical College Admission Test. But it may have helped her get out of the fear that could have prevented her from expressing the things she knew.

24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The server—a young, dark-haired woman with a broad smile and glasses—stopped and quietly said, ‘I just want to tell you how much your TED talk meant to me, you helped me find out what I really wanted to do with my life—go to medical school—and then you helped me do what I needed to do to get there. Thank you.’(服务员——一个年轻的黑发女人，脸上挂着灿烂的笑容，戴着眼镜——停了下来，平静地说：‘我只想对你说你的TED演讲对我来说有多重要，你帮我找到了我一生中真正想做的事情——上医学院——然后你帮我做了我到那一步所需要做的事情。谢谢你。’)”可知，在波士顿书店咖啡馆中，一位女服务员向作者表达了感谢，作者的TED演讲对她产生了重大影响。故选C。
25. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But something connects them: all have felt powerless in the face of great pressure and anxiety(焦虑), and all discovered a quite simple way to free themselves from that feeling of powerlessness.(但是他们之间有某种联系：所有人在面对巨大的压力和焦虑时都感到无能为力，并且都发现了一种非常简单的方法来将自己从那种无能为力的感觉中解放出来。)”可知，所有和作者进行交流的人都有一个共同点：他们都曾遇到过问题并且感觉无能为力。故选A。
26. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“In that talk, I discussed some interesting findings about how we can quickly increase our confidence and decrease(减轻) our anxiety in challenging situations.(在那次演讲中，我讨论了一些有趣的发现，即我们如何在充满挑战的情况下快速增加信心和减少焦虑。)”可知，作者在2012年的演讲中讨论的是我们如何在充满挑战的情况下快速增加信心和减少焦虑。故选A。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, watching my talk didn’t magically give Fetaine the knowledge she needed to do well on Medical College Admission Test. But it may have helped her get out of the fear that could have prevented her from expressing the things she knew.(当然，看我的演讲并不能神奇地给Fetaine提供她在医学院入学考试中取得好成绩所需要的知识。但它可能帮助她摆脱了恐惧，这种恐惧可能会阻止她表达她所知道的事情。)”可知，作者的演讲帮助Fetaine摆脱了恐惧，让她有勇气去表达自己。再结合第一段中的“The server—a young, dark-haired woman with a broad smile and glasses—stopped and quietly said, ‘I just want to tell you how much your TED talk meant to me, you helped me find out what I really wanted to do with my life—go to medical school—and then you helped me do what I needed to do to get there.

C
Clark’s Nutcrackers generally live in high mountain whitebark pine (白皮松) forests. They seem to prefer forests that open or, at least, with frequent openings. The bird has a gray body with black wings and tail. If you were to draw a cartoon combining a crow with a woodpecker( KNA), you would have the Clark’s Nutcracker. It is a member of the family Corvidae, which includes crows. It was first discovered during the Lewis and Clark Expedition — the first American expedition to cross what is now the western part of the US. Clark described it as “some form of woodpecker”.
The nutcracker consumes the seeds of the whitebark pine. In late summer and fall, the tracker will begin to store its seeds. The bird buries the seeds in the soil. A single Clark’s Nutcracker may store upwards of 30, 000 seeds each year, and there may be as many as 1, 000 separate storage sites. In the winter, they will get the seeds back for food.
This creature, however, does not just rely on its food stores. Much of its diet consists of pine seeds and the remainder is composed of nuts, berries, insects, eggs, and in the winter dead animals flesh. They search for food in the trees and on the ground. They catch insects out of midair in flight. Occasionally, the bird becomes a woodpecker using its specialized mouth to pound dead wood for insects.
The nutcracker possesses the behavior suitable to spread the seeds constantly.
The bird stores them deep enough in the soil to greatly reduce the problem of rodents (啮齿动物) finding the seeds. It will certainly fail to get back a certain percentage of its food. The unused seeds will then start to grow and become new trees so not only does the Clark’s Nutcracker take advantage of the whitebark pine, the tree uses the bird too.
28. What do we know about the Clark’s Nutcracker
A. It looks like a kind of crow
B. It has bright and colorful body
C. It likes living in the riverside.
D. It belongs to a species of Corvidae.
29. Which of the following best describes the nutcracker
A. caring and fierce
B. sensitive and beautiful
C. hardworking and intelligent
D. clever and selfless
30. What does the last paragraph convey
A. The nutcracker can help to spread seeds.
B. The nutcracker faces the danger of dying out.
C. Rodents are the whitebark pine’s main enemies.
D. The birds can hide their food inside the whitebark pine.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。北美星鸦具有惊人的记忆力，每年夏末秋初，它们把三万多颗种子分别埋藏在一千个地方，到了冬天， 它们再找到这些地方取出种子当粮食。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“It is a member of the family Corvidae, which includes crows.(它是鸦科的一员，该科包括乌鸦。)”可知，北美星鸦属于鸦科的一种。故选D。
29. 推理判断题。根据第二段第四句“A single Clark’s Nutcracker may store upwards of 30, 000 seeds each year, and there may be as many as 1, 000 separate storage sites.(一只北美星鸦每年可以储存3万颗以上的种子，并且可能有多达1000个单独的储存地点。)”可知，北美星鸦很勤劳。根据第二段最后一句“In the winter, they will get the seeds back for food.(到了冬天，它们会把种子拿回来当食物。)”可知，北美星鸦很聪明。故选C。
30. 细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句“The unused seeds will then start to grow and become new trees so not only does the Clark’s Nutcracker take advantage of the whitebark pine, the tree uses the bird too.(未使用的种子会开始生长，变成新的树，所以不仅是北美星鸦利用了白皮松，这种树也利用了这种鸟。)”可知，最后一段要表达的是北美星鸦可以帮助播种。故选A。

【答案】
The Quality I Value Most
Good morning, everyone! Qualities will determine what you can achieve.The quality which I think is of the most importance is the spirit of craftsmanship.
As we all know, craftsmanship is mainly made up of perseverance, integrity, diligence and expertise. Take the clock restoration master, Wang Jin, for example. With skillful hands and a modest heart, Mr. Wang spent his whole life restoring clocks dating back to hundreds of years, which not only helps preserve traditional skills but also brings the clocks back to life. Most importantly, his innovation and unremitting devotion ensure that the art of clock repairing stands the test of time. Therefore, from my perspective, the spirit of craftsmanship, which includes devoting ourselves to work, sharpening our skills and overcoming difficulties with perseverance, is the necessary and significant quality for us human beings.
The spirit of craftsmanship is what has helped a great number of achievement makers, and it is well worth possessing.
Thank you for your attention.
