A decade ago, at the end of my first semester teaching at Captain, my student Jack stopped by for office hours. He sat down and burst into tears. My mind started cycling through a list of events that could make a college junior cry: His girlfriend had broken up with him; he had been accused of cheating in exams; he forgot to turn in papers before the deadline. "I just got my first A minus," he said.
Year after year, I watch in depression as students are crazy about getting straight A’s. Some sacrifice their health; a few have even tried to charge their school after failure. They believe top marks are a ticket to elite graduate schools and rewarding job opportunities. I was one of them. I started college with the goal of graduating with a GPA of 4.0. It would be a reflection of my brainpower and willpower, showing that I had the right things to succeed. But I was wrong.
The evidence is clear: Across industries, research shows that the association between grades and job performance is modest in the first year after college and insignificant within a handful of years. For example, at Microsoft, once employees are two or three years out of college, their grades have nothing to do with their performance. ( Of course, it must be said that if you got D’s, you probably wouldn’t end up at Microsoft.)
Academic grades rarely assess qualities like creativity, leadership and teamwork skills, or social, emotional and political intelligence. Yes, straight A students master large amounts of information and reproduce it in exams. But career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem——it’s more about finding the right problem to solve. This might explain why Steve Jobs finished high school with a GPA of 2.65, and Martin Luther King Jr. got only one A in his four years at Morehouse.
24. Why did Jack feel sad
A. His girlfriend abandoned him. B. He was caught cheating in exams.
C. He didn’t hand in his paper in time. D. He failed to get straight A’s.
25. What did the author once believe
A. It was wrong to care too much about marks. B. Failure was schools’ fault.
C. Marks didn’t reflect willpower and brainpower. D. Top marks meant well-paid job offers.
26. Why are the employees at Microsoft mentioned
A. To indicate academic performance is important.
B. To show academic excellence isn’t a strong predictor of career performance.
C. To introduce successful examples in the technology industry.
D. To stress the company values employees with top marks.
27. What should people focus more on to succeed
A. How to solve a problem. B. What problem to be solved.
C. How to be a creative leader. D. What to do with detailed information.
C
Plastic pollution is growing rapidly across Earth’s ecosystems and its threat to humanity and wildlife is too. Outcomes for health and the environment will be severe unless we address it, says a United Nations (UN) report. But the discovery of microplastics in human blood means immediate action is needed.
Researchers found tiny plastic particles (微粒), less than one-thousandth of a millimeter in size, in almost 80 percent of 22 people they tested. Such small plastics can travel through the body and could stick in our vital organs. These tiny pieces could damage cells and tissues, causing many diseases like cancer.
“I was shocked but not surprised. We already knew that microplastics have been found in human organs. The body finds it hard to break these particles down, which associate them with chronic (长期的) disease,” said Jo Royle, the CEO of Common Seas—a social enterprise looking to stop plastic pollution. “It’s clear that the best way to battle with microplastics and prevent health problems is to make sure they don’t end up being deserted in our environment in the first place,” added Royle. “This is why we need leaders and businesses to take responsibility for plastic trash along its lifecycle.”
Some oil and gas companies that supply plastic products plan to expand plastic output and double production in the next 20 years. But analysts say that would backfire on people, governments, and industries rejecting plastic to protect the environment. Big brands are reducing plastic packaging and changing to alternatives. Plastic is seen as a threat as large as climate change and a UN treaty against pollution is the result.
Natural products like plant materials and even silk offer plastic alternatives, especially in food and product packaging. But the UN believes we cannot simply recycle our way out of the problem. An immediate reduction and industry transformation are needed. As the blood microplastic study suggests, that transformation must be rapid. Because the rate at which we absorb plastic into our bodies is faster than the rate we remove it. And that needs a planet-wide response.
28. What is the best way to solve microplastics problems according to Royle
A. Restrictions on throwing plastic waste. B. Medical treatments for microplastics.
C. Developing natural alternatives to plastic. D. Raising personal awareness of microplastic.
29. What do the underlined words “backfire on” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Apply to. B. Go against. C. Depend on. D. Respond to.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Recycling plastics proves to be not effective at all.
B. The rate of bodies’ absorbing plastics is uncontrollable.
C. Most natural materials can be alternatives to plastics.
D. Rapid transformation in plastic industry is needed.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Microplastics in Blood Highlight Health Emergency
B. Increasing Updated Plastics Have Enjoyed Popularity
C. Plastic Pollution Is Transforming Humans’ Lifestyle
D. Practical Solutions to Plastic Waste Are Approaching
D
Conservation scientist Kim Williams-Guillen was trying her best to come up with a way to save endangered sea turtles from egg thieves when she had an “aha” moment: If she placed a fake (假的) egg containing a GPS tracker in the reptiles’ nests, she might be able to track the thieves.
Williams-Guillen found a flexible plastic material to mimic (仿造) the shell of real eggs. She and colleagues then used a 3D printer to produce the fakes of the same size, weight, and texture and put the smallest GPS tracking devices inside each. The researchers then went to four Costa Rican beaches, where green sea turtle come ashore to make their nests. As mothers laid their eggs under cover of night, the researchers slipped a fake egg into each nest. Once the fakes are covered in sand and mix with the real eggs, it’s very difficult to tell the difference between the two.
Of the 101 fake eggs, 25 were taken by thieves. The farthest moving egg traveled 137kilometers inland. The fake egg sent its final signal the next day from a residential property, suggesting that the research team had tracked the eggs through “all of the players in the entire chain.”
By understanding that chain, Williams-Guillen says researchers can identify trading hot spots. She emphasizes that the tracker is not a way to catch local thieves, many of them living in poverty, but a tool to better understand their routes, which could help them and eventually law enforcement (执法部门) identify larger players in the chain.
In the meantime, Williams-Guillen and her colleagues are working to get their fake eggs to other sea turtle conservation organizations. Ultimately, though, scientists and nonprofits are going to engage communities with local outreach and education programs to save sea turtles. She says,” The real meat and potatoes of conservation isn’t going to come from deploying (布署) eggs.”
32. What can be learnt from paragraph 2
A. The idea of fake eggs came into being. B. Sea turtles have become endangered.
C. Sea turtles lay eggs during the daytime. D. Fake eggs are made and employed.
33. Why did researchers track the turtle eggs
A. To confirm whether the fake eggs really work.
B. To identify the trading routes and get the big players punished.
C. To arrest the locals stealing the turtle eggs from the beach.
D. To provide data for doing research on turtle eggs.
34. What do Williams-Guillen’s words mean in the last paragraph
A. Deploying eggs needs advocating further.
B. She feels disappointed with the local communities.
C. Turtle conservation mainly relies on joint efforts.
D. Deploying eggs makes no difference in preserving turtles.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A. Saving endangered sea turtles is urgent
B. Endangered turtles can be traced with GPS
C. GPS eggs helps to save endangered sea turtles
D. A conservation scientist is devoted to protecting sea turtles

Your car isn’t just essential for keeping yourself safe as the colder months draw closer. 36 Here’s our top tips to help you prepare your car for the cold winter months ahead.
Check your car’s battery
The last thing you want is to be stuck on a country road or a motorway in minus temperatures with a dead battery. 37 , it’s worth getting your battery checked or getting it replaced sooner rather than later.
Don’t forget de-icing spray
38 You can either sit there with engine running for ten minutes (and make yourself late for work) or clean your windows with de-icing spray and leave in seconds. Never pour boiling water over your car’s windows when they’re covered with ice. Just use de-icing spray instead.
Invest in winter tyres
If you’ve got a long distance to work and back every day, or are planning a long drive over Christmas to catch up with friends and family, then it might be worth considering buying some winter-ready tyres.
Check your car’s wipers
Your car’s windscreen wipers are vital during the winter months. If your wipers are split or damaged, they won’t clear rain away properly and will block your visibility, especially if you’re caught in heavy rain or snow. 39 .
40
If you’re choosing not to get a new pair of winter tyres for your car, then you should always look at your current t yres to make sure they’re adequately inflated (充气) to the right level. Tyres tend to deflate in colder conditions and this will reduce the control you have over your car when driving, so check your car’s tyres regularly (ideally at least once a month) over the winter months.
Our tips will significantly reduce the chances of you running into trouble on the road this winter.
A. Inspect your tyre pressure
B. Choose proper tyres for your car
C. If you break down for whatever reason
D. Car windows thick with ice in the morning
E. If your car is taking a long time to start when you turn the key
F. This could potentially result in a crash and put you and other road users in danger, so make sure to check these too
G. Taking the right steps to ensure your car is ready for winter can also save you a sum of money in case anything goes wrong
