【原文】M: Hello, Maggie. Mountain biking is a popular sport among teenagers but there are fewer girls doing it. Am I right
W: Yes, although we’re growing in numbers. When I was 13, my dad bought my brother a mountain bike but I was given an ordinary one. I really wanted to join my brother, so in the end my aunt got one for me.
M: And now you’ re a winner
W: Yes. I just won the Regional Championship. It was a difficult course with lots of rocks. At one point I thought I wasn’t going to win. I was ahead and then I had to slow down because a photographer jumped out from behind a tree.
M: What do you think is the most important before a race
W: Well, there’s much to do. Take plenty of exercise to keep fit. Check the route in advance. And the most important I think is that you must make sure everything’s working on the bike. If there’s anything wrong with the bike, I’ll be in trouble. And the clothes shouldn’t slow you down so they need to be tight. They might feel a bit uncomfortable when you first put them on, but you will soon get used to it. I’m not bothered about not looking pretty — I just want to win.
M: Maggie, thank you so much for talking to us.

【答案】17．C 18．A 19．A 20．C
【原文】M: Today I’d like to talk about my job. I work for the organization Life Plus. We work with a variety of animals. Now I’ll tell you something about the monkeys in our care. The most impressive character is Simba and he is the most powerful male in our group. Simba means “lion” in Swahili and we gave him this name because he is larger than other monkeys. He is often the first of the group to comfort others when they're sick. One of the loveliest monkeys is Linda. She is not that easy to find or see, because she is afraid of visitors and will disappear into her house if someone approaches her. The opposite of Linda is Jojo. She enjoys having tourists close by. Our largest female is Leila, but now we’re a little worried about her. She is going to give birth, but now she has got a serious cold. So she’s gone out of sight for a couple of weeks. We're expecting everything to be alright. A lot of people’s favourite is Tom. He’s always full of energy and he’s always playing with others and climbing and running. He really needs to sleep well at night, so that he can continue his crazy lifestyle during the day. That’s all. I really like spending time with animals.

Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they express regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid (避免) those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. it’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say, “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality (可能发生的事). And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance (保障) for my emotional well-being.
24．Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule
A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
D．Move an object out of the way before it trips (绊倒) someone.
25．Why did the author decide to go to her office on Good Friday
A．To keep her appointment with the eye doctor.
B．To meet her father who was already an old man.
C．To join in the holiday celebration of the company.
D．To finish her work before the deadline approached.
26．Which word(s) can best replace the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3
A．given up. B．Lacked. C．Avoided. D．Wasted.
27．What is the best title for the passage
A．The Emotional Well-being B．The Two Saddest Words
C．The Most Useful Rule D．The Peace of Mind
【答案】24．D 25．B 26．A 27．B
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文主要叙述了英语中最悲伤的两个词是“要是……就好了”。作者的人生目标是永远不说这两个词，因为它们传达着遗憾、失去的机会、错误和失望，在父亲的影响下，作者通过“extra minute”rule来避免以后说“if only”的情况。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they express regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.(英语中最悲伤的两个词是“如果”。我的人生目标是永远不要说那些话，因为它们传达着遗憾、失去的机会、错误和失望)”以及第二段“My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table.(我父亲在我们家有一句名言：“多花一分钟把事情做好。”我总是努力按照“多一分钟”的原则生活。当我的孩子还小，容易出事故的时候，我总是在想我能做些什么来避免“如果”的时刻，无论是小事情，比如把装满热咖啡的杯子从柜台边缘移开，还是一些需要更多工作的事情，比如在玻璃咖啡桌的尖角上粘上填充物)”可知，作者所说的“extra minute”规则是指在遇事时多思考一分钟，从而可以避免以后遗憾、犯错或失望。故D项“在绊倒别人之前把障碍物挪走”，属于“extra minute”规则。故选D。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him.(但后来我想到他已经84岁了，我意识到我不应该放弃见到他的机会)”可知，父亲说在周五去看眼科医生时经过作者的办公室，虽然那天是假日，但作者想到父亲84了，自己不应该放弃每一次见父亲的机会，于是又改口说那天上班。故选B。
26．词句猜测题。划线词所在句的and前后连接语意相似成分，由其前“We all know people who lost a loved one(我们都知道，有些人失去了所爱的人)”可推知此处是指“后悔放弃（失去）了一个机会”，即：他们失去了心爱的人，后悔失去了说“我爱你”或“我原谅你”的机会，foregone意为“放弃”。故选A。
27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they express regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.(英语中最悲伤的两个词是“如果”。我的人生目标是永远不要说那些话，因为它们传达着遗憾、失去的机会、错误和失望)”且通读文章可知，本文主要叙述了作者通过“extra minute”规则来避免以后说“if only”的情况。“if only”作为线索贯穿了整篇文章，且第一段也提到了the saddest words，故B选项“最悲伤的两个单词”适合作为标题，故选B。
C
In internships and jobs that I, now a career woman, have ever had, I’ve watched professionals, experienced and brand-new alike, conduct interviews or present in meetings and many of them appear unprepared and lack confidence. I think they would all benefit from an acting class.
A central technique an acting class can equip you with is improvisation (即兴表演). Essentially, skills such as the improvisation principle of “Yes, and …” are beneficial for thinking on your feet. When someone suggests a new idea, you say “yes” and run with the suggestion. A professional familiar with this technique can entertain and value the contributions of others, promoting a free-flowing exchange of ideas, which inspires a positive, creative spirit that the corporate world longs for.
Both college students and professionals might benefit from the voice and movement training. I used to be afraid of the voice and movement part of acting class. My acting teacher would make us do push-ups and yoga. Then, we’d stand up and moan (呻吟) with varying degrees of voices. I hated this, and lots of other people do, too. But the product of this training is an individual who stands tall and speaks clearly and loudly. Plus, I still use the stretches and warm-ups from class to calm my nerves before presentations.
As an actor, you are a student of human behavior. With that, when you receive a text, you explore your character. For example, if you’re playing a villain (反派角色), you have to approach your character from where it stands. Such an outlook makes for a wonderful leader, one that understands coworkers’ situations and treats them with politeness and understanding.
I’ve borne countless “What are you going to do with a theater degree ” speeches from family and friends. But ultimately, these soft skills are incredibly valuable for young professionals. Acting training will set you apart from the pack.
28．What effect does the principle of “Yes, and …” have on professionals following it
A．It generates positive suggestions. B．It brings about smooth interaction.
C．It offers them good entertainment value. D．It helps them recognize their own contribution.
29．What can we learn from the author’s experience in paragraph 3
A．She is still very nervous of her acting teacher.
B．She is addicted to working on her physical fitness.
C．The training has made her braver and more patient.
D．The training has enhanced her presentation abilities.
30．What does the author want to say by mentioning exploring characters
A．It is a big challenge for most of the student actors.
B．It makes the study of human behavior much easier.
C．It can help people to put themselves in others’ shoes.
D．It may improve the relationship between coworkers.
31．What does the author advise young professionals to do
A．Take an acting class. B．Pursue acting careers
C．Obtain higher degrees. D．Consult family and friends.
【答案】28．B 29．D 30．C 31．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者结合自身经历说明上表演课所带来的一些好处。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“A professional familiar with this technique can entertain and value the contributions of others, promoting a free-flowing exchange of ideas, which inspires a positive, creative spirit that the corporate world longs for. (熟悉这一技巧的专业人士能够接受并重视他人的贡献，促进思想的自由交流，从而激发出企业界所渴望的积极、创新的精神。)”可知，“是的，但是……”的原则可以让遵循这一原则的专业人士有顺畅的互动。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“But the product of this training is an individual who stands tall and speaks clearly and loudly. Plus, I still use the stretches and warm-ups from class to calm my nerves before presentations. (但这种训练的结果是一个人站得高，说话清晰响亮。此外，在演讲之前，我仍然会利用课堂上的伸展运动和热身来镇定我的紧张情绪。)”可知，培训提高了她的演讲能力。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Such an outlook makes for a wonderful leader, one that understands coworkers’ situations and treats them with politeness and understanding. (这样的观点造就了一个优秀的领导者，一个理解同事的情况，礼貌和理解地对待他们的人。)”可知，作者提到探索人物是想说明这能帮助人们设身处地地为别人着想。故选C。
31．细节理解题。根据第一段“I think they would all benefit from an acting class. (我觉得上表演课对他们都有好处。)”以及最后一段“But ultimately, these soft skills are incredibly valuable for young professionals. Acting training will set you apart from the pack.(但最终，这些软技能对年轻的专业人士来说是非常有价值的。表演训练将使你与众不同。)”可知，作者建议年轻的专业人士去上表演课。故选A。
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.
32．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.
33．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.
34．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.
35．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】32．D 33．B 34．C 35．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。
32．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。
33．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。
34．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。
35．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。

What a comedian can teach you about managing stress
We often accept stress as part of the cost of modern life, but it really doesn’t have to be. We all know that laughter is the best medicine. 36 People who can laugh at their own misfortunes bounce back faster and stronger. Here is what a comedian says about coping with stress.
You can try to find a different perspective. 37 Once a friend of mine fell asleep in the middle of a class. His teacher decided to make fun of him by inviting students to applaud, wondering whether my friend would applaud along when he woke up. He did and the whole class burst outlaughing. After learning everything, he was both embarrassed and ashamed of course but after a while, my friend laughed. “If this had happened to someone else, it would have been amusing. So it’s no less funny, just because it happened to me. “
38 There’s no doubt that we all experience great stress now and then. We’ve all been personally affected, in some way. You might not have felt like laughing at the time But now, looking back, you could consider all of the strange aspects of the experience and all of the things you did to keep active or simply stay sane (神志正常的) .
When you share stories with your friends, you can choose to share stories of trauma (创伤) and pain, or you can choose to lift their spirits with stories of hope and growth. 39 Take the exact same story and change the focus from “feel sorry for me” to “laugh with me”. Keep in mind that we’re all in this together, that we all share the same ridiculous experiences, and that we can laugh together at whatever life throws at us. 40
A．Always share a good story.
B．Why not do what comedians do
C．You can also look again and laugh.
D．But laughter does more than cheer you up.
E．Then you are able to make a simple choice.
F．In this way. you will say goodbye to stress forever.
G．If you have trouble seeing the funny side, you may find the following inspiring.
【答案】36．D 37．G 38．C 39．B 40．E

36．前文提到“We all know that laughter is the best medicine.”（我们都知道笑容是最好的良药），后文提到“People who can laugh at their own misfortunes bounce back faster and stronger.”（能对自己的不幸一笑置之的人能更快更坚强地振作起来。）由此判断，笑容还能让人更快地恢复过来。D项“But laughter does more than cheer you up.”（但是笑不仅仅是让你开心。）旨在说明笑不只是让人心情好起来，它还有后文提到的“Here is what a comedian says about coping with stress.”（以下是一位喜剧演员对应对压力的看法。）减少压力的作用。D项符合文意，故选D。
37．第二段第一句提到“You can try to find a different perspective. ”（你可以尝试换个角度）。下文作者讲了朋友的一个故事，旨在证明只要找到了好笑的点，就可以把一件尴尬的事情变成一件好笑的事情。而读者可以从这个故事里获得灵感，受到鼓舞。从上下文可以得知，这个角度实际上指的是看到事情的有趣的地方，找到好笑的点。G项“If you have trouble seeing the funny side, you may find the following inspiring.”（如果你很难看到有趣的一面，你可能会发现下面的故事很鼓舞人心。）该项与后文的故事为解释例证关系。G项符合文意，故选G。
38．空处位于段首，由此判断该句应为该段的主题句，后文提到“You might not have felt like laughing at the time But now, looking back, you could consider all of the strange aspects of the experience and all of the things you did to keep active or simply stay sane (神志正常的) .”（当时你可能不想笑，但现在，回头看，你可以考虑所有奇怪的方面的经验和所有的事情，你做了保持活跃或只是保持理智。）每个人都会经历压力并受到影响，当时也许笑不出来，但是回头看看，想起做过的奇怪的事情，也许就会笑了。C项“You can also look again and laugh.”（你可以回过头看看，然后大笑一场） 该项符合文意，故选C。
39．前文提到“When you share stories with your friends, you can choose to share stories of trauma (创伤) and pain, or you can choose to lift their spirits with stories of hope and growth.”（当你和朋友分享故事时，你可以选择分享创伤和痛苦的故事，也可以选择用希望和成长的故事来鼓舞他们的精神。）后文提到“Take the exact same story and change the focus from “feel sorry for me” to “laugh with me”. ”（以同样的故事为例，把重点从“为我感到难过”转变为“和我一起笑”。）由此判断，该段说明可以把难过的事情转换成另外一个方面去吸收。结合文章标题“What a comedian can teach you about managing stress”（喜剧演员可以教你如何管理压力）可知，喜剧演员会让观众一起笑起来。B项“Why not do what comedians do ”（为什么不学学喜剧演员呢 ）B项符合文意，故选B。
40．前文提到“Keep in mind that we’re all in this together, that we all share the same ridiculous experiences, and that we can laugh together at whatever life throws at us. ”（请记住，我们都在一起，我们都有同样荒谬的经历，我们可以一起嘲笑生活给我们的任何东西。），此空前面建议人们要认识到每个人都会经历不好的事情，无论经历什么，我们都可以发笑。所以此空应该是这么做的好处。E项“Then you are able to make a simple choice.”（然后你就可以做一个简单的选择。）E项符合文意，故选E。

【答案】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。这是一封作者为自己的好朋友赢得了网上象棋比赛而发来的祝贺信。
【详解】1.考查名词的数。句意：我写信表达我最诚挚的祝贺。Congratulation为可数名词，此处“祝贺”为复数概念，故需要复数形式congratulations。
2.考查形容词。句意：作为你的朋友，我只是想要你知道我因为你的成功有多么高兴。本句为感叹句，how感叹形容词，故gladly改为glad。
3.考查冠词。句意：在过去的几年里，你对中国象棋表现出了极大的兴趣。表示“过去的几年”短语为in the last few years，last前需要添加冠词the。
4.考查动词时态。根据上文的时间状语the last few years为一段时间，故本句应用现在完成时，故had改为have。
5.考查人称代词。句意：你每天都在练习它。此处指练习上文提到的“中国象棋”，为单数概念，故应用第三人称单数it。
6.考查形容词。句意：你不仅读了很多关于中国象棋战略的书,也参加了各种各样的中国象棋比赛。book为可数名词，故用many修饰。
7.考查介词。短语compete in“参加……比赛”后跟介词in，故on改为in。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意：最后,你在网上成功地赢得了比赛！短语succeed in doing sth.“成功做某事”介词后跟现在分词，win为重读闭音节词，变为现在分词时需要双写尾字母再加-ing。故改为winning
9.考查形容词。句意：昨晚我高兴得睡不着觉。固定句型so……that……表示“如此……以至于”，故删去very。
10.考查定语从句连接词。句意：我渴望与你在社区俱乐部玩中国象棋，我们会玩得很开心。本句为定语从句修饰先行词community club，且先行词在从句中做地点状语，故需要关系副词where。
【点睛】so…that与such…that的区别：
1、so…that这一结构中，so后边可加形容词或副词
so＋adj.／adv.＋that…clause（so的后面跟形容词或副词）
He runs so fast that nobody can catch up with him.
他跑得非常快，没人能追上他。
Dr. Wang is so good that everybody loves and respects him.
=He is so good a doctor that everybody loves and respects him.
=He is such a good doctor that everybody loves and respects him.
他是一位好医生，大家都尊敬并爱戴他。
如第九小题，修饰形容词happy，故用副词so，构成so…that句型。
2、such后边要用名词（这个名词前面可以带形容词，也可以不带）。
1)such＋a(an)＋adj.＋单数可数名词＋that…clause
He is such a clever boy that everybody likes him.
他非常聪明，大家都非常喜欢他。
He was such an honest man that he was praised by the teacher.
他非常诚实，因而受到了老师的表扬。
2)such＋adj.＋复数可数名词＋that…clause
They are such interesting novels that I want to read them once again.
这些小说非常有趣，我想再读一遍。
3)such＋adj.＋不可数名词＋that…clause
He has made such great progress that the teachers are pleased with him.
他进步得很快，老师们对他感到很满意。

Handwriting or Typing
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Sample 1
Handwriting or Typing
Recently, our school English club has conducted a survey on the ways of expressing thoughts and recording information among teachers and students. As is exhibited/shown in the pie chart, 80% tend to type for recording in their daily lives. By contrast, only 20% prefer handwriting.
Personally, I believe handwriting has unique values and advantages. Firstly, handwriting activates brain to process the information, which can deepen understanding and improve attention/memory. Besides, it reflects a personal style and emotional color, making the recorded information rich and personalized. In addition, it is helpful to avoid reliance on electronic devices and reduce negative impacts on the eyes.
In conclusion, the value of handwriting extends far beyond its practical uses. As an essential part of our cultural heritage, it should be treasured and nurtured.
Sample 2
Handwriting or Typing
Recently, our school English club has conducted a survey on the ways of expressing thoughts and recording information among teachers and students. As is exhibited/shown in the pie chart, 80% tend to type for recording in their daily lives. By contrast, only 20% prefer handwriting.
Personally, both methods carry their own advantages and should be used according to one’s preference and the task’s requirement. While typing is more suitable for academic work due to its speed and efficiency, the graceful — handwriting style, carrying warmth or — personality, should not be discarded entirely. It is important to maintain a balance between the two in order to fully embrace the benefits of both.
In a word, the choice between handwriting and typing is highly personal and subjective, and should be respected.

Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they express regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp comers of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid (避免) those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. it’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say, “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality (可能发生的事). And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance (保障) for my emotional well-being.
24．Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule
A．Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B．Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C．Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
D．Move an object out of the way before it trips (绊倒) someone.
25．Why did the author decide to go to her office on Good Friday
A．To keep her appointment with the eye doctor.
B．To meet her father who was already an old man.
C．To join in the holiday celebration of the company.
D．To finish her work before the deadline approached.
26．Which word(s) can best replace the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3
A．given up. B．Lacked. C．Avoided. D．Wasted.
27．What is the best title for the passage
A．The Emotional Well-being B．The Two Saddest Words
C．The Most Useful Rule D．The Peace of Mind
C
In internships and jobs that I, now a career woman, have ever had, I’ve watched professionals, experienced and brand-new alike, conduct interviews or present in meetings and many of them appear unprepared and lack confidence. I think they would all benefit from an acting class.
A central technique an acting class can equip you with is improvisation (即兴表演). Essentially, skills such as the improvisation principle of “Yes, and …” are beneficial for thinking on your feet. When someone suggests a new idea, you say “yes” and run with the suggestion. A professional familiar with this technique can entertain and value the contributions of others, promoting a free-flowing exchange of ideas, which inspires a positive, creative spirit that the corporate world longs for.
Both college students and professionals might benefit from the voice and movement training. I used to be afraid of the voice and movement part of acting class. My acting teacher would make us do push-ups and yoga. Then, we’d stand up and moan (呻吟) with varying degrees of voices. I hated this, and lots of other people do, too. But the product of this training is an individual who stands tall and speaks clearly and loudly. Plus, I still use the stretches and warm-ups from class to calm my nerves before presentations.
As an actor, you are a student of human behavior. With that, when you receive a text, you explore your character. For example, if you’re playing a villain (反派角色), you have to approach your character from where it stands. Such an outlook makes for a wonderful leader, one that understands coworkers’ situations and treats them with politeness and understanding.
I’ve borne countless “What are you going to do with a theater degree ” speeches from family and friends. But ultimately, these soft skills are incredibly valuable for young professionals. Acting training will set you apart from the pack.
28．What effect does the principle of “Yes, and …” have on professionals following it
A．It generates positive suggestions. B．It brings about smooth interaction.
C．It offers them good entertainment value. D．It helps them recognize their own contribution.
29．What can we learn from the author’s experience in paragraph 3
A．She is still very nervous of her acting teacher.
B．She is addicted to working on her physical fitness.
C．The training has made her braver and more patient.
D．The training has enhanced her presentation abilities.
30．What does the author want to say by mentioning exploring characters
A．It is a big challenge for most of the student actors.
B．It makes the study of human behavior much easier.
C．It can help people to put themselves in others’ shoes.
D．It may improve the relationship between coworkers.
31．What does the author advise young professionals to do
A．Take an acting class. B．Pursue acting careers
C．Obtain higher degrees. D．Consult family and friends.
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.
32．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.
33．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.
34．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.
35．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.

What a comedian can teach you about managing stress
We often accept stress as part of the cost of modern life, but it really doesn’t have to be. We all know that laughter is the best medicine. 36 People who can laugh at their own misfortunes bounce back faster and stronger. Here is what a comedian says about coping with stress.
You can try to find a different perspective. 37 Once a friend of mine fell asleep in the middle of a class. His teacher decided to make fun of him by inviting students to applaud, wondering whether my friend would applaud along when he woke up. He did and the whole class burst outlaughing. After learning everything, he was both embarrassed and ashamed of course but after a while, my friend laughed. “If this had happened to someone else, it would have been amusing. So it’s no less funny, just because it happened to me. “
38 There’s no doubt that we all experience great stress now and then. We’ve all been personally affected, in some way. You might not have felt like laughing at the time But now, looking back, you could consider all of the strange aspects of the experience and all of the things you did to keep active or simply stay sane (神志正常的) .
When you share stories with your friends, you can choose to share stories of trauma (创伤) and pain, or you can choose to lift their spirits with stories of hope and growth. 39 Take the exact same story and change the focus from “feel sorry for me” to “laugh with me”. Keep in mind that we’re all in this together, that we all share the same ridiculous experiences, and that we can laugh together at whatever life throws at us. 40
A．Always share a good story.
B．Why not do what comedians do
C．You can also look again and laugh.
D．But laughter does more than cheer you up.
E．Then you are able to make a simple choice.
F．In this way. you will say goodbye to stress forever.
G．If you have trouble seeing the funny side, you may find the following inspiring.
