Not Even Wrong
My eight-year-old son, lack, is a boy with autism (孤独症). Even though I always hear from others that he is very bright and he is making enough progress to meet goals, I am still anxious walking into their parents’ meetings.
Last fall’s parents’ meeting was even worse for me. I noticed Jack making a great effort to keep up with others. Some parents watched Jack and whispered (窃窃私语) and no children were willing to play with him. I started to see the social divide between Jack and his peers (同龄人) widening.
After the parents’ meeting, his teacher spent long time talking to me. She told me that it was getting more difficult for Jack to meet goals just because he was bright. Some teachers and students always complained (抱怨) about Jack’s actions. She also advised me to think about whether the normal class was the best setting for him. Hearing these words, I was very upset.
Then she blew my mind. She showed me one example of Jack’s works and said, “I didn’t know how to grade this. It’s not even wrong, but it’s not right.” I grasped when she said “not even wrong”, which is the name of one of my favorite books on autism, by Paul Collins. The book says a girl whose idea is so far off base but it is not even wrong. It perfectly describes autism and it perfectly describes Jack.
In his book, Paul Collins wrote, “Children with autism are like the square pegs (钉,桩). Hitting a square peg into a round hole is hard work. What’s worse, it’s destroying the square pegs.”
As a mother of a boy with autism, I want to help find more square holes. I want this world to be a world where it is okay to be a square peg without having to pretend to be round. We have been hammering (锤打) square pegs into round holes for a long time. Now we should put down the hammers. And I hope that some of those kids told their parents. And I hope that some of you read this and tell your kids. And I hope that we, all of us together, CAN change the world.
41. Last fall’s parents’ meeting______.
A. gave more joy to the author B. left the author quite concerned
C. frightened the author greatly D. seemed wonderful for the author
42. What does the underlined word “divide” in the second paragraph mean

43. When the teacher said “not even wrong”, she meant______.

C. she just tried to please the author D. Jack had a special thinking style
44. According to Paragraph 5, Paul Collins agrees that______.
A. a round hole fits a square peg
B. hitting can never destroy the square pegs
C. children with autism tend to be hard-working
D. people should let children with autism be themselves
45. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者去参加患自闭症儿子的家长会让作者意识到我们不能按照常规思维来判定他们的对错,呼吁全世界的人们放弃对自闭症患者的偏见,慷慨的接受这一群体,希望所有人一起改变这个世界。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Last fall’s parents’ meeting was even worse for me.(去年秋天的家长会对我来说更糟)”可知,去年秋季的家长会让作者感觉很糟,结合下文中的“Some parents watched Jack and whispered (窃窃私语) and no children were willing to play with him. (一些父母看着杰克,低声说,没有孩子愿意和他玩)”可知,作者意识到很多家长说没有孩子愿意跟杰克玩。由此可知,去年秋天的家长会让作者有些担忧。故选B项。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的“Some parents watched Jack and whispered (窃窃私语) and no children were willing to play with him.(一些父母看着杰克,低声说,没有孩子愿意和他玩)”可知,作者注意到一些家长说没有孩子愿意跟杰克一起玩,结合划线单词后的“between Jack and his peers (同龄人) widening.”可知,此处指的是杰克与同龄人之间的社会差异在加宽。由此可知,划线单词的意思应与difference“差异”意义相近。故选C项。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“She showed me one example of Jack’s works and said, “I didn’t know how to grade this. It’s not even wrong, but it’s not right.”(她给我看了一幅杰克的作品,然后说:“我不知道怎么给这个打分。这甚至都不算错,但这是不对的。”)”可知,老师说不知道如何给杰克的作品打分,没有错,但也不对,结合下文中的“The book says a girl whose idea is so far off base but it is not even wrong.(书里说的是一个女孩,她的想法很离谱,但这甚至都不算错)”可知,女孩的想法很离谱,但甚至没有错。由此推知,老师说的甚至没有错的意思应该是杰克的思维独特。故选D项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“In his book, Paul Collins wrote, “Children with autism are like the square pegs (钉,桩). Hitting a square peg into a round hole is hard work. What’s worse, it’s destroying the square pegs.”(保罗·柯林斯在他的书中写道:“自闭症儿童就像方形的钉子。把方钉子塞进圆洞是件难事。更糟糕的是,它正在破坏方正的钉子。”)”可知,Paul Collins认为患自闭症的孩子就是方形钉子,在想办法把方形钉子塞进圆洞中很难,而且还破坏了方形钉子。由此推知,Paul Collins建议人们不要去改变自闭症患者,应该让他们做自己。故选D项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“And I hope that some of those kids told their parents. And I hope that some of you read this and tell your kids. And I hope that we, all of us together, CAN change the world.(我希望那些孩子能告诉他们的父母。我希望你们中的一些人读了这篇文章,并告诉你们的孩子。我希望我们,我们所有人一起,可以改变世界)”可知,作者在最后使用三个希望来呼吁人们改变对自闭症患者的看法,相信大家一起可以改变世界。由此推知,作者的目的是呼吁人们改变对自闭症患者的看法。故选A项。

Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.
Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fight-or-flight“ reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend. ” That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”), and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (“befriend”).
Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones (激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin (催产素), has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.” While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.
In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.
The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, tackling a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.
The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory (调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.
46. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to ____________.
A. turn to friends for help B. solve a conflict calmly
C. seek comfort from children D. find an escape from reality
47. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage
A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.
B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.
C. Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.
D. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.
48. What can be learned from the passage
A. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.
B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.
C Male hormones help build up the body’s resistance to stress.
D. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.
49. The underlined word in the Paragraph 5 may mean ___________.
A. anticipating B. managing C. claiming D. dealing
50. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. How researchers handle stress-related disorders
B. How men and women suffer from stress
C. How researchers overcome stress problems
D. How men and women get over stress
【答案】46. D 47. C 48. A 49. B 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是男女对压力反应的区别和原因以及如何克服压力。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend. ”(面对压力,男人通常会做出“打或逃”的反应,而女人通常会有另一种反应,被称为“互助友好”。)”可知,面对压力时,男性会通常是“战或逃”的反应,因此在面对压力时,男人们更可能会做出逃跑的反应。故选D项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.(虽然男性也会分泌催产素,但它的作用会被男性荷尔蒙所削弱。)”可知,男性的催产素被男性荷尔蒙削弱,所以,对男性的影响会小于女性,由此可知,比起男性催产素在女性身上的作用更大。故选C项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone.(UCLA的研究小组认为,女性“拉关系还是交朋友”的反应也是基于一种激素。)”以及“The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.” While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones. (首席研究员Shelley E. Taylor博士解释说,“催产素水平高的动物和人更平静、更放松、更善于社交、更少焦虑。” 虽然男性也会分泌催产素,但它的作用会被男性荷尔蒙所削弱。)”可知,女性在面对压力时“互助友好”的反应也基于一种激素,就是催产素,较高水平的催产素能够让人更平静、放松、减少焦虑,而男性受催产素的影响较小,由此可推断,生理上的差异导致对压力不同的行为反应。故选A项。
【49题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet.(该研究还显示了父亲和母亲在结束一天紧张的工作回到家中时的不同反应。典型的父亲希望自己一个人呆着,享受一些平和和宁静。)”可知,研究表明一天的紧张工作回家后父亲和母亲有着不同的反应,父亲的反应是希望一个人呆着,享受一些平静,划线单词后的“focusing her attention on her children and their needs.(把注意力集中在孩子和他们的需求上)”可知,母亲对糟糕的一天的反应是把注意力集中在孩子和他们的需求上,这是两种不同处理紧张一天的方式,所以划线单词的意思与“处理”意义相近。故选B项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress.(UCLA心理学系的研究人员发现,男性和女性应对压力的方式存在重大差异。)”可知,心里学研究人员发现,男性和女性对待压力的方式有很大的差异,结合下文中分析产生这种差异的原因可知,本文主要介绍的是男性和女性处理压力的方式上有着很大的不同,所以题目“男人和女人如何克服压力”概括了全文的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。

The phrase “digital nomads (游民)” suggests joyful people who escape their daily work to travel the world, working with laptops on beaches. Relevant statistics regularly made the headline “There will be one billion digital nomads by 2035”.
I started researching digital nomads in 2015, and it took me three years to develop an understanding of what might be going on. I’ve met hundreds of people who think of themselves as digital nomads and many more who have dreamed about becoming one. The first thing I learned is that how people feel about the label “digital nomad” changes over time. People starting out often assume it’s a permanent lifestyle, but that’s rarely the case. One of my respondents explained, “I don’t go around calling myself a digital nomad now. It’s a bit silly.” Indeed, there’s still debate about whether it’s a buzzword (时髦用语) or a real phenomenon. Some have even tried to figure out how “authentic” a digital nomad is, by how much they move from place to place. And there has been heated debate online about who’s a real digital nomad, and who is merely self-promoting.
Most of the digital nomads I spoke to, who once had well-paid jobs, told me that they were escaping from deeply-rooted problems in the contemporary Western workplace. One of my respondents, Lisette, a skilled translator from Hamburg, Germany, is able to produce high-quality work quickly. She is soon tired of the culture of presenteeism (出勤主义) at her workplace. She explained, “I’m efficient and I like to get the work done and leave on time. Others were obviously scared to leave first, so they would sit at their desks and play with their computers.”
Nearly 40% of British adults believe their jobs don’t make sense. Their housing is of poor quality and too expensive, and the economies don’t provide young people with wages they can live on. With these challenges, it’s hardly surprising that those new to the world are already desperate to escape. Yet there are certain complexities that come with living as a citizen of the world. As Lisette said, “Digital nomads can quickly become isolated.” Digital nomads have to shoulder responsibility for almost every aspect of modern life: their mental health, daily routine, income, safety and shelter. Most digital nomads travel on tourist visas, which requires them to move regularly-an experience my participants have described as disorienting (使人迷失方向的).
Being a digital nomad can be rewarding and offers an escape from the boring office hour. But it’s important that digital nomads think deeply about the importance of community and mental health in their lives. Freedom does not mean the same thing for everyone.
51. What does the author think of digital nomads
A. Easy to get on with. B. Extremely hard to be accepted.
C Difficult to define. D. About to disappear.
52. What led Lisette to escape from her workplace
A. Fierce competition. B. Inflexible working system.
C. Economic pressure. D. Violation of personal space.
53. What is an attractive aspect of being a digital nomad according to paragraph 4
A. Travelling the world. B. Enjoying more free time.
C. Receiving steady incomes. D. Being free from real-life pressures.
54. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Think twice before becoming a digital nomad.
B. Share your real life and job on the Internet.
C. Have a much more comfortable lifestyle.
D. Resign from a dead-end job as soon as possible.
55. What would be the best title of the passage
A. Digital nomads: what future jobs will be like
B. Digital nomads: a trend that will take over the world
C. Digital nomads: an effective way to escape your everyday work
D. Digital nomads: what it’s really like to work while traveling the world
【答案】51. C 52. B 53. D 54. A 55. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是关于“数字游民”这种新兴职业的情况,包括“数字游民”的含义和内容、一些真实的“数字游民”的感受、以及该职业出现的原因和其优点和缺点。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I started researching digital nomads in 2015, and it took me three years to develop an understanding of what might be going on.(我从2015年开始研究数字游游民,花了三年时间才对可能发生的事情有了一个了解)”可知,作者花了三年的时间才对“数字游民”的意义有所了解,结合下文中的“Indeed, there’s still debate about whether it’s a buzzword (时髦用语) or a real phenomenon.(事实上,关于它是一个流行语还是一个真正的现象,人们仍有争论)”可知,对于数字游民这个词外界也还是有争议的。由此推知,作者认为数字游民很难定义。故选C项。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She soon tiredof the culture of presenteeism (出勤主义) at her workplace.(她很快就厌倦了工作场所的出勤主义)”可知,Lisette是一个工作高效率的人,她希望的是做完工作就能走,而不是固定的出勤时间,一定要像同事一样等到下班才走。由此可知,这种不灵活的工作制度导致Lisette逃离现在的岗位。故选B项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Their housing is of poor quality and too expensive, and the economies don’t provide young people with wages they can live on.(他们的住房质量差,价格太贵,经济无法为年轻人提供他们可以维持生活的工资。面对这些挑战,那些初来乍到的人已经不顾一切地想要逃离也就不足为奇了)”可知,住房问题和薪水问题让人们选择逃离这种生活,结合下文中的“As Lisette said, “Digital nomads can quickly become isolated.”(正如Lisette所说,“数字游游民很快就会被孤立。”)”可推知,数字游民可以迅速脱离开这种现实生活的压力。故选D项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But it’s important that digital nomads think deeply about the importance of community and mental health in their lives. Freedom does not mean the same thing for everyone.(但重要的是,数字游游民要深入思考社区和精神健康在他们生活中的重要性,自由对每个人来说都不是一回事)”可知,作为数字游民要深入思考社会和他们身心健康的重要性,自由对每个人来说都不是同一回事。由此推知,作者认为成为数字游民还是要慎重考虑。故选A项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“The phrase “digital nomads (游民)” suggests joyful people who escape their daily work to travel the world, working with laptops on beaches. Relevant statistics regularly made the headline “There will be one billion digital nomads by 2035”.(“数字游民”一词指的是那些快乐的人,他们逃离日常工作,到世界各地旅行,在海滩上用笔记本电脑工作。相关统计数据经常登上“2035年数字游民将达10亿”的头条)”可知,“数字游民”作为一种新兴的职业迅速发展,结合下文中介绍的“数字游民”的含义,一些“数字游民”的真实感受,该职业兴起的原因及其优点和缺点可知,本文主要论述的是关于数字游民这种新兴职业的相关情况。由此可知,“数字游牧民:环游世界时工作的真实感受”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。

I know I don’t just speak for myself on that front as he has inspired not just me or the few, but the entire local community and beyond,” said Chris, “This challenge has raised a great amount of money for two fantastic charities, but the impact Gary has provided to the community and people around him is immeasurable. A lot of people’s lives will be much better off thanks to Gary’s efforts, mine included.”

Not Even Wrong
My eight-year-old son, lack, is a boy with autism (孤独症). Even though I always hear from others that he is very bright and he is making enough progress to meet goals, I am still anxious walking into their parents’ meetings.
Last fall’s parents’ meeting was even worse for me. I noticed Jack making a great effort to keep up with others. Some parents watched Jack and whispered (窃窃私语) and no children were willing to play with him. I started to see the social divide between Jack and his peers (同龄人) widening.
After the parents’ meeting, his teacher spent long time talking to me. She told me that it was getting more difficult for Jack to meet goals just because he was bright. Some teachers and students always complained (抱怨) about Jack’s actions. She also advised me to think about whether the normal class was the best setting for him. Hearing these words, I was very upset.
Then she blew my mind. She showed me one example of Jack’s works and said, “I didn’t know how to grade this. It’s not even wrong, but it’s not right.” I grasped when she said “not even wrong”, which is the name of one of my favorite books on autism, by Paul Collins. The book says a girl whose idea is so far off base but it is not even wrong. It perfectly describes autism and it perfectly describes Jack.
In his book, Paul Collins wrote, “Children with autism are like the square pegs (钉,桩). Hitting a square peg into a round hole is hard work. What’s worse, it’s destroying the square pegs.”
As a mother of a boy with autism, I want to help find more square holes. I want this world to be a world where it is okay to be a square peg without having to pretend to be round. We have been hammering (锤打) square pegs into round holes for a long time. Now we should put down the hammers. And I hope that some of those kids told their parents. And I hope that some of you read this and tell your kids. And I hope that we, all of us together, CAN change the world.
41. Last fall’s parents’ meeting______.
A gave more joy to the author B. left the author quite concerned
C. frightened the author greatly D. seemed wonderful for the author
42. What does the underlined word “divide” in the second paragraph mean
A. Impression. B. Personality. C. Difference. D. Brightness.
43. When the teacher said “not even wrong”, she meant______.
A. Jack had been entirely wrong B. she actually told a white lie
C. she just tried to please the author D. Jack had a special thinking style
44. According to Paragraph 5, Paul Collins agrees that______.
A. a round hole fits a square peg
B. hitting can never destroy the square pegs
C. children with autism tend to be hard-working
D. people should let children with autism be themselves
45. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To change people’s opinion on autism. B. To give some examples of autism.
C. To advise people to buy a book on autism. D. To warn people of the risk of autism.
C
Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.
Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fight-or-flight“ reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend. ” That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”), and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (“befriend”).
Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones (激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin (催产素), has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious.” While men also secrete (分泌) oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones.
In terms of everyday behavior the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.
The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, tackling a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.
The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory (调节的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.
46. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to ____________.
A. turn to friends for help B. solve a conflict calmly
C. seek comfort from children D. find an escape from reality
47. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage
A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.
B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.
C. Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.
D. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.
48. What can be learned from the passage
A. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.
B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.
C. Male hormones help build up the body’s resistance to stress.
D. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.
49. The underlined word in the Paragraph 5 may mean ___________.
A. anticipating B. managing C. claiming D. dealing
50. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. How researchers handle stress-related disorders
B. How men and women suffer from stress
C. How researchers overcome stress problems
D. How men and women get over stress
D
The phrase “digital nomads (游民)” suggests joyful people who escape their daily work to travel the world, working with laptops on beaches. Relevant statistics regularly made the headline “There will be one billion digital nomads by 2035”.
I started researching digital nomads in 2015, and it took me three years to develop an understanding of what might be going on. I’ve met hundreds of people who think of themselves as digital nomads and many more who have dreamed about becoming one. The first thing I learned is that how people feel about the label “digital nomad” changes over time. People starting out often assume it’s a permanent lifestyle, but that’s rarely the case. One of my respondents explained, “I don’t go around calling myself a digital nomad now. It’s a bit silly.” Indeed, there’s still debate about whether it’s a buzzword (时髦用语) or a real phenomenon. Some have even tried to figure out how “authentic” a digital nomad is, by how much they move from place to place. And there has been heated debate online about who’s a real digital nomad, and who is merely self-promoting.
Most of the digital nomads I spoke to, who once had well-paid jobs, told me that they were escaping from deeply-rooted problems in the contemporary Western workplace. One of my respondents, Lisette, a skilled translator from Hamburg, Germany, is able to produce high-quality work quickly. She is soon tired of the culture of presenteeism (出勤主义) at her workplace. She explained, “I’m efficient and I like to get the work done and leave on time. Others were obviously scared to leave first, so they would sit at their desks and play with their computers.”
Nearly 40% of British adults believe their jobs don’t make sense. Their housing is of poor quality and too expensive, and the economies don’t provide young people with wages they can live on. With these challenges, it’s hardly surprising that those new to the world are already desperate to escape. Yet there are certain complexities that come with living as a citizen of the world. As Lisette said, “Digital nomads can quickly become isolated.” Digital nomads have to shoulder responsibility for almost every aspect of modern life: their mental health, daily routine, income, safety and shelter. Most digital nomads travel on tourist visas, which requires them to move regularly-an experience my participants have described as disorienting (使人迷失方向的).
Being a digital nomad can be rewarding and offers an escape from the boring office hour. But it’s important that digital nomads think deeply about the importance of community and mental health in their lives. Freedom does not mean the same thing for everyone.
51. What does the author think of digital nomads
A. Easy to get on with. B. Extremely hard to be accepted.
C. Difficult to define. D. About to disappear.
52. What led Lisette to escape from her workplace
A. Fierce competition. B. Inflexible working system.
C. Economic pressure. D. Violation of personal space.
53. What is an attractive aspect of being a digital nomad according to paragraph 4
A. Travelling the world. B. Enjoying more free time.
C. Receiving steady incomes. D. Being free from real-life pressures.
54. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph
A. Think twice before becoming a digital nomad.
B. Share your real life and job on the Internet.
C. Have a much more comfortable lifestyle.
D. Resign from a dead-end job as soon as possible.
55. What would be the best title of the passage
A. Digital nomads: what future jobs will be like
B. Digital nomads: a trend that will take over the world
C. Digital nomads: an effective way to escape your everyday work
D. Digital nomads: what it’s really like to work while traveling the world

Gary McKee ran 365 marathons in as many days to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria.
Gary McKee, 53, from Cleator Moor in Cumbria raised his arms in victory and was cheered by a crowd of supporters as he completed his 365th marathon of the year on New Year’s Eve. As of 4 pm on Saturday, he had raised more than 890,000 for the charities Macmillan Cancer Support and Hospice at Home West Cumbria, just shy of (缺少) his 1 million fundraising target. The father of three has gone through 22 pairs of sports shoes and has run 9,563 miles in rain, snow and sunshine to raise money for the charities.
“The support has been amazing and it always is and the West Cumbrians get behind us, but cancer affects everybody so it isn’t just a West Cumbrian thing, it’s a national thing,” said Gary. “I just hope that people do get behind us and we do raise those million pounds.” Gary has not only raised money for two fantastic charities, but he has also sprinkled magic on the local community and brought people together to support him with the challenge.
Chris Young, 29, ran 90 marathons with Mr. McKee. “Gary set a good example to me this year when I began running frequently with him and has given me both physical and mental resilience (适应力) that I don’t know if I would have ever discovered in myself in a million years. I know I don’t just speak for myself on that front as he has inspired not just me or the few, but the entire local community and beyond,” said Chris, “This challenge has raised a great amount of money for two fantastic charities, but the impact Gary has provided to the community and people around him is immeasurable. A lot of people’s lives will be much better off thanks to Gary’s efforts, mine included.”
