Growing up on the shores of Lake Huron in the Canadian province of Ontario, Robert Berdan was never far from water. When he was in sixth grade, he received a toy microscope for Christmas. Some of the first things he saw through its lens were tiny creatures inside droplets he’d gathered from a local pond. He was fascinated with the microorganisms.
After eighth grade, Berdan upgraded to a more sophisticated model and realized it was a portal to another world. “The new microscope changed my life,” he says. “I could see so much more.” He begar studying photography and buying cameras to fit on his microscope. He captured images of ferns, mushrooms, and trees, and learned how to develop film. He also developed his microscopy skills so much so that he earned a doctoral degree in cellular biology and spent five years running a lab at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
But Berdan never forgot his two early passions - being immersed in nature and photographing its tiny details - and he decided to return to them. His subjects range from snowflakes to spruce trees. To see the latter under a microscope, Berdan collects a small branch and wields specialized tools to shave off paper-thin slices, which he dyes red or blue. For the final images, he often uses a process called focus stacking, in which similar photos with different focal planes are mixed together to achieve a more profound depth of field, and he sometimes sews photos together to create views.
“I investigate anything that might have possibilities,” he says. And he encourages others to do the same with a microscope. “Any tool that amplifies our ability to see will enhance our creativity,” he notes “Our observations can potentially lead to new discoveries and solutions.”
4．What inspired Berdan to pursue his passion for microscopic photography
A．Working in a cellular biology lab.
B．Earning a doctoral degree in cellular biology.
C．Tiny microscopes from a local pond.
D．Childhood experiences near Lake Huron.
5．What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A．Berdan’s childhood experience with microscopes.
B．Berdan’s reason for studying for a doctoral degree.
C．Berdan’s transition from amateur to professional.
D．Berdan’s hard work of running a lab in Edmonton.
6．What does the underlined word “amplifies” mean in the last paragraph
A．Expands. B．Decreases. C．Mixes. D．Changes.
7．What can be inferred about Berdan’s skill in microscopic photography
A．He has received formal training in photography and microscopy.
B．He mainly focuses on capturing images of various microscopes. .
C．He experiments with different ways to enhance the depth of field.
D．He is the most skilled biologist in capturing mushrooms and trees.

When instant cake mixes first appeared in the 1950s, American housewives were doubtful. These mixes, promising easy cake-baking, felt too easy. The manufacturers discovered that requiring the addition of an egg in the baking process was just enough to make the housewives happy with their work. The greater sense of effort gained from a little extra labor is believed to have been essential to the later success of the cake mix.
This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应), which is identified by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues, suggesting we place greater value on things we have worked to create. They conducted four studies in which they asked participants to fold paper cranes and frogs, assemble IKEA boxes, and build sets of Legos. They then asked the builders to bid (出价) for their creations, and compared the prices with bids from people who hadn’t built them. The builders consistently outbid the non-builders.
Interestingly, the IKEA effect works even when people have no opportunity to fully personalize their creations. While most participants’ folding skills left much to be desired, they loved their imperfectly personalized products all the more. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creations nearly five times as much as non-builders. Beauty, it seems, is in the eye of the builder.
Today, as cities are suffering from severe housing crises, the IKEA effect can give us insight into the well-being benefits of a self-building approach to housing development. Projects like WikiHouse and the “half-a-house” approach pioneered by Alejandro Aravena’s architecture company Elemental are working to make housing more affordable and sustainable by making it easier for people to build and personalize their own homes.
“The moment people are involved with their built environment, they have a totally different relationship to it,” WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the roof starts leaking or a door starts creaking, they have the power to fix it themselves.”
8．What brought customers the joy of cake-baking according to paragraph 1
A．A better taste. B．An easy approach.
C．A detailed recipe. D．An additional effort.
9．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply
A．Creations are based on skills. B．Extra labor increases perceived value.
C．Beauty is found through contrast. D．Strict management brings good quality.
10．What is Alastair Parvin’s attitude towards public involvement in housing
A．Critical. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive.
11．What’s the purpose of this text
A．To promote a brand. B．To make a proposal.
C．To explain a concept. D．To introduce a study.
D
Power often boosts an employee’s creativity because being powerful liberates the individual from restrictions. However, new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.
“This is important because when people with more power are able to express their creative ideas more than those with less power, which leads to a rich-get-richer dynamic that strengthens these power imbalances,” said Brian Lucas, assistant professor in the Cornell University. “Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage,” Lucas said.
Lucas and his colleagues conducted two studies to reach their conclusion．In the first study, they divided the creative idea generation session into two rounds consisting of a one-minute “warm up” followed by a second round in which the participants could take as long as they wanted．Participants were randomly assigned to a high-power condition or a low-power condition, and feelings of power were generated with a role manipulation (操纵) where participants were given a leadership role and control over resources (high power) or an employee role with no control over resources (low power). The study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the warm-up round．There was no difference, though, in creativity in the second round.
In the second study, the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two sessions to five, taking as long as they like to complete the task. Similar to the first study, the study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the first round．But the creativity of low-power individuals caught up to the creativity of the high-power individuals after the first round.
“The low-power warm-up effect suggests a simple intervention that empowers all employees to tap their creative potential and overcomes power imbalances in the workplace: when pursuing creative work, let employees warm up first,” Lucas said.
12．Why does Locus think it important to boost the creativity of lower power workers
A．It maintains power imbalances.
B．It motivates their ambition to catch up.
C．It creates a competitive work environment.
D．It encourages a workplace with more equality.
13．How did Lucas and his co-authors stimulate feelings of power in the participants
A．Through a creative task with time limits.
B．Through providing them with different positions.
C．Through a competition between leaders and employees.
D．Through assigning them to different conditions intentionally.
14．How did the second study differ from the first study
A．It had fewer rounds. B．It involved more participants.
C．Participants had a changed task. D．Participants’ creativity gap became wider.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Power tends to encourage creative ideas.
B．Changing tasks boosts all the employees’ creativity.
C．Warm-up time corrects creativity power imbalances.
D．Low-power individuals outperform the high-power ones.

Grab the bull by its horns and have the courage to conquer it, no matter how unsure we might feel. Some challenges are urgent and require immediate attention, leaving us with no option but to go ahead full-steam.
Educate ourselves. The reason why some issues prove challenging for us is that we aren’t familiar with them. 18 The internet, books, forums, etc. , offer platforms where we can research and learn about our challenges to find strategies against them. Knowledge is definitely powerful and essential in conquering anything.
Be persistent. This is what is required to accomplish anything, especially when it comes to overcoming challenges. No matter how difficult our challenges might be, we must be willing to push through and try again and again until we achieve victory over them. 19
Ask for help. There are times when we can’t go it alone and need others to help us conquer whatever challenges we face. 20 Networking with like-minded individuals who can offer us support, suggestions, and solutions is useful in helping us overcome challenges.
A．Meet them head-on.
B．Adapt a different strategy.
C．It is said that two heads are better than one.
D．If we give up, we allow the challenges to conquer us instead.
E．Therefore, our knowledge and ability to conquer them is limited.
F．Whatever our positions, we all wish to conquer them and move on.
G．Some challenges can be overwhelming, making us question our ability to overcome them.

Growing up on the shores of Lake Huron in the Canadian province of Ontario, Robert Berdan was never far from water. When he was in sixth grade, he received a toy microscope for Christmas. Some of the first things he saw through its lens were tiny creatures inside droplets he’d gathered from a local pond. He was fascinated with the microorganisms.
After eighth grade, Berdan upgraded to a more sophisticated model and realized it was a portal to another world. “The new microscope changed my life,” he says. “I could see so much more.” He begar studying photography and buying cameras to fit on his microscope. He captured images of ferns, mushrooms, and trees, and learned how to develop film. He also developed his microscopy skills so much so that he earned a doctoral degree in cellular biology and spent five years running a lab at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
But Berdan never forgot his two early passions - being immersed in nature and photographing its tiny details - and he decided to return to them. His subjects range from snowflakes to spruce trees. To see the latter under a microscope, Berdan collects a small branch and wields specialized tools to shave off paper-thin slices, which he dyes red or blue. For the final images, he often uses a process called focus stacking, in which similar photos with different focal planes are mixed together to achieve a more profound depth of field, and he sometimes sews photos together to create views.
“I investigate anything that might have possibilities,” he says. And he encourages others to do the same with a microscope. “Any tool that amplifies our ability to see will enhance our creativity,” he notes “Our observations can potentially lead to new discoveries and solutions.”
4．What inspired Berdan to pursue his passion for microscopic photography
A．Working in a cellular biology lab.
B．Earning a doctoral degree in cellular biology.
C．Tiny microscopes from a local pond.
D．Childhood experiences near Lake Huron.
5．What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A．Berdan’s childhood experience with microscopes.
B．Berdan’s reason for studying for a doctoral degree.
C．Berdan’s transition from amateur to professional.
D．Berdan’s hard work of running a lab in Edmonton.
6．What does the underlined word “amplifies” mean in the last paragraph
A．Expands. B．Decreases. C．Mixes. D．Changes.
7．What can be inferred about Berdan’s skill in microscopic photography
A．He has received formal training in photography and microscopy.
B．He mainly focuses on capturing images of various microscopes. .
C．He experiments with different ways to enhance the depth of field.
D．He is the most skilled biologist in capturing mushrooms and trees.
【答案】4．D 5．C 6．A 7．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Berdan在加拿大安大略省休伦湖畔长大，从小对水和其中的微生物充满好奇。六年级时，他收到了一台玩具显微镜，开始观察微观世界。他鼓励其他人也使用显微镜，认为这样的工具能够增强我们的观察能力，激发创造力，并可能导致新的发现和解决方案。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up on the shores of Lake Huron in the Canadian province of Ontario, Robert Berdan was never far from water. When he was in sixth grade, he received a toy microscope for Christmas. Some of the first things he saw through its lens were tiny creatures inside droplets he’d gathered from a local pond. He was fascinated with the microorganisms.(罗伯特·伯丹(Robert Berdan)在加拿大安大略省的休伦湖岸边长大，从来没有远离过水。六年级时，他收到了一个玩具显微镜作为圣诞礼物。他通过镜头看到的第一批东西是他从当地池塘收集的水滴里的微小生物。他对微生物很着迷)”可知，是休伦湖附近的童年经历激发了伯丹对显微摄影的热情。故选D项。
5．主旨大意题。根据第二段“After eighth grade, Berdan upgraded to a more sophisticated model and realized it was a portal to another world. “The new microscope changed my life,” he says. “I could see so much more.” He begar studying photography and buying cameras to fit on his microscope. He captured images of ferns, mushrooms, and trees, and learned how to develop film. He also developed his microscopy skills so much so that he earned a doctoral degree in cellular biology and spent five years running a lab at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.(八年级后，伯丹升级到一个更复杂的模型，并意识到这是一个通往另一个世界的门户。“新显微镜改变了我的生活，”他说。“我可以看到更多。”他开始学习摄影，并为他的显微镜购买相机。他拍摄了蕨类植物、蘑菇和树木的照片，并学会了如何冲洗胶卷。他还提高了他的显微镜技术，以至于他获得了细胞生物学的博士学位，并在埃德蒙顿的阿尔伯塔大学(University of Alberta)主管了五年的实验室)”可知，本段主要讲述了伯丹从业余到专业的转变。故选C项。
6．词句猜测题。根据后文“will enhance our creativity(都会增强我们的创造力)”可推知，本句表达“任何能增强我们观察能力的工具都会增强我们的创造力”之意，所以amplifies为“增强”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。
7．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“To see the latter under a microscope, Berdan collects a small branch and wields specialized tools to shave off paper-thin slices, which he dyes red or blue. For the final images, he often uses a process called focus stacking, in which similar photos with different focal planes are mixed together to achieve a more profound depth of field, and he sometimes sews photos together to create views.(为了在显微镜下观察后者，伯丹收集了一根小树枝，并用专门的工具刮掉纸一样薄的薄片，然后把它们染成红色或蓝色。对于最终的图像，他经常使用一种称为焦点堆叠的过程，将不同焦平面的相似照片混合在一起，以获得更深刻的景深，他有时会将照片缝在一起以创造视图)”可知，从伯丹的显微摄影技巧可以推断出他试验了不同的方法来增强景深。故选C项。

The greater sense of effort gained from a little extra labor is believed to have been essential to the later success of the cake mix.
This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应), which is identified by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues, suggesting we place greater value on things we have worked to create. They conducted four studies in which they asked participants to fold paper cranes and frogs, assemble IKEA boxes, and build sets of Legos. They then asked the builders to bid (出价) for their creations, and compared the prices with bids from people who hadn’t built them. The builders consistently outbid the non-builders.
Interestingly, the IKEA effect works even when people have no opportunity to fully personalize their creations. While most participants’ folding skills left much to be desired, they loved their imperfectly personalized products all the more. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creations nearly five times as much as non-builders. Beauty, it seems, is in the eye of the builder.
Today, as cities are suffering from severe housing crises, the IKEA effect can give us insight into the well-being benefits of a self-building approach to housing development. Projects like WikiHouse and the “half-a-house” approach pioneered by Alejandro Aravena’s architecture company Elemental are working to make housing more affordable and sustainable by making it easier for people to build and personalize their own homes.
“The moment people are involved with their built environment, they have a totally different relationship to it,” WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the roof starts leaking or a door starts creaking, they have the power to fix it themselves.”
8．What brought customers the joy of cake-baking according to paragraph 1
A．A better taste. B．An easy approach.
C．A detailed recipe. D．An additional effort.
9．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply
A．Creations are based on skills. B．Extra labor increases perceived value.
C．Beauty is found through contrast. D．Strict management brings good quality.
10．What is Alastair Parvin’s attitude towards public involvement in housing
A．Critical. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive.
11．What’s the purpose of this text
A．To promote a brand. B．To make a proposal.
C．To explain a concept. D．To introduce a study.
【答案】8．D 9．B 10．D 11．C
【导语】本文是说明文。本文通过讨论宜家效应以及几个实验研究的结果，论述了人们更加珍视自己亲手创造的东西，并由此引发了对自我建造住房的好处的思考。
8．细节理解题。根据第一段“The manufacturers discovered that requiring the addition of an egg in the baking process was just enough to make the housewives happy with their work. The greater sense of effort gained from a little extra labor is believed to have been essential to the later success of the cake mix.(制造商发现，在烘焙过程中加入一个鸡蛋就足以让主妇们对自己的工作感到满意。从一点点额外的劳动中获得的更大的努力感被认为是蛋糕粉后来成功的关键)”可知，额外的努力给顾客带来了蛋糕烘焙的乐趣。故选D项。
9．词句猜测题。根据前文“Interestingly, the IKEA effect works even when people have no opportunity to fully personalize their creations. While most participants’ folding skills left much to be desired, they loved their imperfectly personalized products all the more. Builders valued their wrinkled crane-like creations nearly five times as much as non-builders.(有趣的是，即使人们没有机会完全个性化他们的作品，宜家效应也会起作用。虽然大多数参与者的折叠技巧还有很多不足之处，但他们更喜欢自己不完美的个性化产品。建筑商对他们皱巴巴的像起重机一样的创造物的估价几乎是非建筑商的五倍)”可知，本段主要讲述额外的劳动会让参与者更喜欢自己的作品，所以Beauty, it seems, is in the eye of the builder.意为“额外的劳动增加了感知价值”。故选B项。
10．推理判断题。根据最后一段““The moment people are involved with their built environment, they have a totally different relationship to it,” WikiHouse co-founder Alastair Parvin explained. “When the roof starts leaking or a door starts creaking, they have the power to fix it themselves.”(WikiHouse的联合创始人Alastair Parvin解释说：“当人们参与到他们的建筑环境中时，他们与环境的关系就完全不同了。”“当屋顶开始漏水或门开始吱吱作响时，他们有能力自己修理。”)”可知，Alastair Parvin认为公众参与住房建设，他们与环境的关系就完全不同了，所以是持支持的态度。故选D项。
11．推理判断题。根据第二段“This reflects the IKEA effect (宜家效应), which is identified by psychologist Michael I. Norton and his colleagues, suggesting we place greater value on things we have worked to create. They conducted four studies in which they asked participants to fold paper cranes and frogs, assemble IKEA boxes, and build sets of Legos. They then asked the builders to bid (出价) for their creations, and compared the prices with bids from people who hadn’t built them. The builders consistently outbid the non-builders.(这反映了心理学家迈克尔·i·诺顿(Michael I. Norton)及其同事发现的宜家效应(IKEA effect)，即我们更看重自己努力创造的东西。他们进行了四项研究，要求参与者折叠纸鹤和青蛙，组装宜家盒子，搭建乐高积木。然后，他们要求建筑商为他们的作品出价，并将价格与没有建造这些作品的人的出价进行比较。建筑商的出价始终高于非建筑商)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要解释什么是宜家效应(IKEA effect)，所以本文的目的是解释一个概念。故选C项。
D
Power often boosts an employee’s creativity because being powerful liberates the individual from restrictions. However, new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.
“This is important because when people with more power are able to express their creative ideas more than those with less power, which leads to a rich-get-richer dynamic that strengthens these power imbalances,” said Brian Lucas, assistant professor in the Cornell University. “Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage,” Lucas said.
Lucas and his colleagues conducted two studies to reach their conclusion．In the first study, they divided the creative idea generation session into two rounds consisting of a one-minute “warm up” followed by a second round in which the participants could take as long as they wanted．Participants were randomly assigned to a high-power condition or a low-power condition, and feelings of power were generated with a role manipulation (操纵) where participants were given a leadership role and control over resources (high power) or an employee role with no control over resources (low power). The study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the warm-up round．There was no difference, though, in creativity in the second round.
In the second study, the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two sessions to five, taking as long as they like to complete the task. Similar to the first study, the study found that high-power individuals were more creative than low-power individuals in the first round．But the creativity of low-power individuals caught up to the creativity of the high-power individuals after the first round.
“The low-power warm-up effect suggests a simple intervention that empowers all employees to tap their creative potential and overcomes power imbalances in the workplace: when pursuing creative work, let employees warm up first,” Lucas said.
12．Why does Locus think it important to boost the creativity of lower power workers
A．It maintains power imbalances.
B．It motivates their ambition to catch up.
C．It creates a competitive work environment.
D．It encourages a workplace with more equality.
13．How did Lucas and his co-authors stimulate feelings of power in the participants
A．Through a creative task with time limits.
B．Through providing them with different positions.
C．Through a competition between leaders and employees.
D．Through assigning them to different conditions intentionally.
14．How did the second study differ from the first study
A．It had fewer rounds. B．It involved more participants.
C．Participants had a changed task. D．Participants’ creativity gap became wider.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Power tends to encourage creative ideas.
B．Changing tasks boosts all the employees’ creativity.
C．Warm-up time corrects creativity power imbalances.
D．Low-power individuals outperform the high-power ones.
【答案】12．D 13．B 14．C 15．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，给予热身时间后，职位低的员工的创造力可以得到提升。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段中““Understanding ways to boost the creativity of lower power workers can help them find the right way to deal with this low-power disadvantage,” Lucas said. (卢卡斯说：“了解如何提高低权力员工的创造力，可以帮助他们找到正确的方法来应对这种低权力的劣势。”)”可知，了解如何促进职位较低员工的创造力，能够帮助他们找到正确的方法来应对职位低的劣势，让他们产生更多创造性想法，从而促进工作场所更加公平公正。故选 D。
13．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Participants were randomly assigned to a high-power condition or a low-power condition, and feelings of power were generated with a role manipulation (操纵) where participants were given a leadership role and control over resources (high power) or an employee role with no control over resources (low power)(参与者被随机分配到高权力情境或低权力情境，并通过角色操纵产生权力感，参与者被赋予领导角色和控制资源的角色(高权力)或没有控制资源的员工角色(低权力)。)”可知，参与者的权力感是通过给予参与者不同的角色（leadership 或 employee role）来产生的。故选 B。
14．细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the second study, the researchers gave them a different creative task and increased the number of rounds from two sessions to five, taking as long as they like to complete the task(在第二项研究中，研究人员给了他们一项不同的创造性任务，并将回合数从两回合增加到五回合，只要他们愿意，就可以完成任务。)”可知，第二项研究中，任务发生了改变。故选 C。
15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, new research shows that employees who are not in positions of power can become more creative when given time to “warm up” to a task by engaging in the creative task more than once.(然而，新的研究表明，没有权力的员工如果有时间通过多次参与创造性任务来“热身”，他们会变得更有创造力。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍研究发现，一般情况下，职位高的员工比职位低的员工更具有创造力，但是热身环节可以激发职位低的员工的创造力，从而创造一个更加公平的工作环境, 所以选择项C“Warm-up time corrects creativity power imbalances. (热身能够纠正创造能力的不均衡。)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Challenges are part of life and something we can all expect to encounter at one point or another during our lifetime. We handle challenges differently;some of us choose to face them head-on, while others flee in uncertainty. 16 The following are simple methods and strategies we can all employ to overcome challenges more effectively.
17 Nike couldn’t have said it any better with their slogan, "Just do it! "Some challenges require us to do just that. Grab the bull by its horns and have the courage to conquer it, no matter how unsure we might feel. Some challenges are urgent and require immediate attention, leaving us with no option but to go ahead full-steam.
Educate ourselves. The reason why some issues prove challenging for us is that we aren’t familiar with them. 18 The internet, books, forums, etc. , offer platforms where we can research and learn about our challenges to find strategies against them. Knowledge is definitely powerful and essential in conquering anything.
Be persistent. This is what is required to accomplish anything, especially when it comes to overcoming challenges. No matter how difficult our challenges might be, we must be willing to push through and try again and again until we achieve victory over them. 19
Ask for help. There are times when we can’t go it alone and need others to help us conquer whatever challenges we face. 20 Networking with like-minded individuals who can offer us support, suggestions, and solutions is useful in helping us overcome challenges.
A．Meet them head-on.
B．Adapt a different strategy.
C．It is said that two heads are better than one.
D．If we give up, we allow the challenges to conquer us instead.
E．Therefore, our knowledge and ability to conquer them is limited.
F．Whatever our positions, we all wish to conquer them and move on.
G．Some challenges can be overwhelming, making us question our ability to overcome them.
【答案】16．F 17．A 18．E 19．D 20．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍应对挑战的方法。
16．根据上文“We handle challenges differently; some of us choose to face them head-on, while others flee in uncertainty.”（我们应对挑战的方式各有不同；我们中的一些人选择拥抱并正面面对它们，而另一些人则在不确定中逃离。）根据下文“The following are simple methods and strategies we can all employ to overcome challenges more effectively.”（下面是一些简单的方法和策略，我们都可以用来更有效地克服挑战。）可知，该句承上启下，说明无论如何，我们都要克服困难。故F选项“无论我们的立场是什么，我们都希望克服它们并继续前进。”切题。故选F项。
17．根据下文“Nike couldn’t have said it any better with their slogan, “Just do it!” Some challenges require us to do just that. Grab the bull by its horns and have the courage to conquer it, no matter how unsure we might feel. Some challenges are urgent and require immediate attention, leaving us with no option but to go ahead full-steam.”（耐克用他们的口号“Just do it! ”来表达这一点再好不过了。有些挑战要求我们这样做。无论我们感觉多么不确定，请迎难而上，勇敢征服困难。有些挑战是紧迫的，需要立即关注，我们别无选择，只能全力以赴。）由此可知，该段主要讲述A选项“直面挑战”。故选A项。
18．根据上文“The reason why some issues prove challenging for us is that we aren’t familiar with them.”（有些问题对我们来说具有挑战性的原因是我们不熟悉它们。）空处承接上文说明不熟悉导致的结果。故E选项“因此，我们征服它们的知识和能力是有限的”切题。此处them与上一句呼应。故选E项。
19．根据上文“No matter how difficult our challenges might be, we must be willing to push through and try again and again until we achieve victory over them.”（无论挑战有多么困难，我们都必须愿意坚持下去，一次又一次地尝试，直到取得胜利。）可知，空处为前一句内容的补充，故D选项“如果我们放弃，我们反过来就会让挑战征服我们。”为反向叙述后果，切题。故选D项。
20．根据上文“There are times when we can’t go it alone and need others to help us conquer whatever challenges we face.”（有时我们无法独自应对，需要他人来帮助我们克服所面临的任何挑战。）可知，人多力量大，与志同道合的人建立联系，他们可以为我们提供支持、建议或解决方案，而这些建议有助于帮助我们克服挑战。故C选项“俗语说：人人多力量大”切题。故选C项。

It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little 25 I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally 26 the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would 27 of me.
In New York, comedians are 28 young men with beards. It’s hard enough to 29 through as a woman, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed nervously. They were clearly 30 to see me. I introduced myself, stated my age and tried my first joke. There was 31 . But by the time I got to the third line, people were properly laughing. I was 32 .
Now my sets differ. I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.
After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what a(n) 33 I am. They say they want to be as active as me when they 34 my age. I’m pleased I can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a 35 seat in life.”

When we are little kids, birthday parties are momentous occasions. They are our time to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts, and so on.
After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a theme for his seventh birthday party—he went with his favorite: the police! And all he wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the party due to various reasons,
Allen’s mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room He had been looking forward to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it.
Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That’s when he decided to save the day—he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and protect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. “We like to be involved in our community. It’s not just about enforcing (执行) the law. We like to be there in the good times as well,” he explained to Rachel.
On the day of Allen’s party, Officer Smith picked up Rachel and Allen in his police car. The boy didn’t know where they were going, but was excited. They stopped at Town Hall, and officer Smith led them into the meeting room where a group of policemen were waiting to wish Allen a happy birthday.

【答案】There, a party was waiting for him. The moment Allen stepped inside, a chorus of “Happy Birthday” filled the meeting room, and he found himself surrounded by lots of police officers holding balloons. Officer Smith introduced him to all the officers, who gave him high fives. Allen was thrilled, and his eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the grand police-themed cake. As Allen cut into the cake with the help of his mom, the room erupted into cheers and laughter, adding to the joyful atmosphere.
After they enjoyed the cake, officer Smith took out a gift bag. “It’s for you.” He presented the delicately wrapped parcel to Allen, who was stunned by the surprise. “Wow, a model police car! It looks exactly like the one we came here in! Thank you!” Officer Smith smiled, “Anytime, Allen.” Allen hugged Officer Smith and thanked him again for making the otherwise crushing disappointment his time to shine. It was the local heroes who helped by being part of the community and inspiring the young soul in small but effective ways.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。Allen很喜欢警察，所以他为自己的七岁生日派对选择了警察主题，并且想要一个警车模型作为生日礼物。但是他的朋友由于各种原因而不能在那天为他庆生。为了不让他失望，警官Frank Smith和Allen的妈妈计划为Allen准备一个独特的生日派对。在生日那天Frank Smith带着Allen和妈妈进入市政厅，一群警察为Allen庆生，他还收到了警车模型。这些当地英雄用小小的善举激励了这个男孩。
