His name is Mark and I was 18 to hear that he is only three years older than me. He looks so much older! He was on the corner, 19 money. I saw his piercing blue eyes beneath his dirty hair and beard, and I couldn't 20 . I parked my car and plonked myself down on the curb(路边) to talk. People were driving by and staring at us, but I didn`t 21 .
He told me about his life. How much of his 22 I believe, I don't know. He told me he was dying— that part I believe, for he could barely walk and had 23 catching his breath.
I asked what I could do to help him. He said 24 he wanted was a slice of pizza. I gave him $3, the only cash I had 25 me. He said he wanted to go to get the food himself, but he was 26 from the shopping center for begging. I said I would get it for him and asked if he wanted something to 27 .

Then he asked for a (n) ride a couple of blocks down the road, to the trail in the woods 30 he had his tent. Normally I don't give rides to strangers, 31 this was just up the street, and quite honestly he showed 32 no physical threat to me.
When we parted he 33 my hand for a long time and we just looked at each other wordlessly for a few moments. Everything just melted away. He wasn't a homeless man and I wasn't a 34 .

第三部分：阅读理解 (共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分)
A
There are many good online universities available. If you are considering this option for getting your degree, don't forget to check out this gem. Rather than give the standard sales pitch, I will list the top reasons that I chose Western Governor's University for my master's degree.
Lower tuition(学费)
The tuition is lower than comparable online schools. Each term is six months long giving me more time to complete the requirements for the term. In addition, if I finish early and still have time left in my term, I can do a part-time job to earn enough money for the schooling. I find this option to be very cost-effective.
Flexible courses
If I have learned enough either through life experience, on the job training, or in class, I can take the exam and skip the course. For example, I learned a great deal about special education law from working in the field, attended conferences, and took classes for my second bachelor's degree. I was able to take the test, and pass, thus finishing the class quickly and focusing on other areas where I needed more studying time.
Personal support
I have a mentor(导师) assigned to me. My mentor is my contact person for questions and support. I get calls on a regular basis. We talk about where I am in my studies, what my next steps are, and any question I may have. I also have the online communities where I can go on the discussion with my schoolmates when I have questions.
Respected degree
I checked with the State Office of Education to find out if this was a good way to go. I learned that a degree from Western Governor's University was a respected degree that is considered comparable to a degree from a traditional brick and mortar(灰泥) university.
I am nearly finished with my degree from Western Governor's University. I gain confidence in my abilities, and am very happy with my decision.
36. From this passage we lean that Western Governor's University .
A. is a key American university B. attracts a great number of students
C. is a brick and mortar university D. is a good online university
37. How can the author get enough money for his schooling
A. He depends on his family's support. B. He does a part-time job to pay for it.
C. He studies hard to get scholarship. D. He has a good job and a good pay.
38. We can infer that the author .
A. had received a bachelor's degree before B. never went to university before
C. wanted to study special education law D. only studied the courses he liked
39. How does the author get in touch with his mentor
A. He calls his mentor at regular time. B. His mentor calls him at regular intervals.

B
The library of Pharaoh Ramesses II is said to have borne the inscription(碑文)“the house of healing for the soul”. Dylan Thomas, an English writer, reportedly liked to relax by reading Agatha Christie's detective novels. As for the novelist Yiyun Li, it was War and Peace that helped her get through the toughest times; when she launched a virtual reading group of Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece in lockdown,3,000 people signed up.
In recent years, a growing body of research has backed up the idea that books not only entertain, but also help us recover and grow. They offer companionship to the lonely, insight to the anxious, and release to those who feel trapped.
This feature has motivated Ann Cleeves to turn her attention to the old long-lasting bibliotherapy. She then co-sponsored such a program in northeast England, working with public health teams. Bibliotherapy is an approach using books and other forms of literature to improve a patient's mental health. A review of several studies found such programs have a long-term effect on people's well-being.
But Cleeves has a broader idea in mind. Writing for The Guardian, she described how reading and writing fiction helped her understand her own response and allowed her to escape into a different world. The reading coaches will match their patients with appropriate poetry and novels as well as non-fiction based on patients’ condition, and will introduce them to librarians and other readers. After all, what's uplifting to one reader will seem twee(花哨、的) to another and what one finds unpleasant may be reassuring to the next.
For Cleeves, it is happy to see people seek self-discovery in the world of books. Some may respond to children's classic The Secret Garden; others will recognize themselves in Toni Morrison's novels. An ancient idea has found fresh resonance(共鸣).
41. What did Dylan Thomas and Yiyun Li have in common
A. They sought inspiration in foreign countries. B. They turned to books for spiritual comfort.
C. They had a great influence on the world literature. D. They once launched a reading group during tough times.
42. What inspired Ann Cleeves to co-sponsor the program
A. The healing power of books. B. The support from public health teams.
C The popularity of the program among people. D. The lack of such a program in northeast England.
43. What can be inferred about bibliotherapy
A It can greatly improve public health. B. It can bring a boom in book markets.
C. It can be used as a cure for depression. D It can bring in diverse forms of literature.
44. How does a reading coach play his or her role
A. By suiting specific books to patients. B. By helping librarians sort out all kinds of books.
C. By assisting readers in writing their own fiction. : D. By recording readers' response to different books.
45. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this text
A. Virtual reading groups: the rising industry in lockdown
B. An inscription: the house of healing for the soul
C. Novel reading: two sides to mental troubles
D. Bibliotherapy: an old idea finds new life
C
Whether an individual is considering starting a small business or changing career paths, passion must be taken into account. While characteristics such as strong values, talent, ambition, intellect, discipline, persistence (毅力), and luck all contribute to business and career success, following your passion can often make the most significant difference of all.
Before discussing passion and explaining its significance, we must first define the true meaning of success.
Success is usually thought of as making large sums of wealth or achieving a certain level of fame, but true success that satisfies is not all about money
. Success is better defined as an achievement of a desired aim or purpose. More than money or fame, most people desire to combine their own passions with their work while making a sustainable income. The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive(难以捉摸的) definition of success.
For most people, success means being proud of their achievements and being part of something that matters. This is particularly true when it comes to meaningful work. If an individual decides to follow their passion, there is a greater likelihood that money and traditional success will follow because the time and effort invested in the adventure come with enthusiasm and zeal(热情).
If enthusiasm and passion are present, people tend to be more resilient (有承受力) when encountering obstacles. People who are passionate about what they do, rather than just "in it for the money, "tend to be people who have more positive outlooks and can overcome difficulty through problem-solving.
Also, the more passionate someone is about their job, the more inclined(倾向于) they are to work hard on self-improvement, increasing their chances of success.
One of the most successful companies in the world is Apple. Apple's founder and most remarkable leader was the late Steve Jobs. In an article titled “The Seven Success Principles of Steve Jobs”, writer Carmine Gallo outlines seven factors responsible for Jobs' success. The article is based on interviews with Apple employees and Steve Jobs himself. The first principle “Do what you love.” Steve Jobs believed in the power of passion and once said, “People with passion can change the world for the better.” Jobs claimed that his passion for his work made all the difference.
46. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to .
A. introduce the topic B. make a comparison
C. present an argument D. propose a definition
47. By saying “The more you earn, the less money returns, making money an elusive definition of success.” in Paragraph 3, the author means .
A. sometimes you don't get much reward for your hard work
B. money doesn't always define success
C. if you want to be successful, you need a steady income
D. the more you earn, the less money returns, which is not a sign of success
48. What could we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Most people intend to choose meaningful jobs.
B. If you follow most people's course, success is just around the corner.
C. Working with enthusiasm is more likely to succeed.
D. If you are always proud of yourself, you will succeed easily.
49. The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A. situations B. risks C. threats D. difficulties
50. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Steve Jobs and His Success Principles B. Follow Your Passions, and Success Will Follow
C. Secrets to Success D. Passion and Your Career
D
Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time Smart cameras can now remind you.
Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone app that
records interactions with household objects. The system involves a barcode-like markers that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track.
With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip when a marked object comes into view. “The user is able to look through the application and see the last time they interacted with it.” says Truong. The app can help people track the state of objects—— such as whether they locked a door or switched a light off—— as well as routine actions. At present it successfully records about 75% of interactions, but only works for fixed objects.
A similar but separate system can solve the problem. E. Akin Sisbot and Jonathan Connell at IBM Research in New York have invented a ceiling-mounted(安装在天花板上的) camera that monitors objects and people. It continuously watches an area such as a tabletop in your home, tracking the placement of objects in relation to one another. It also remembers who first brought an object into the field of view as well as anyone moved it for afterwards. When asked, “Where is my wallet ” the system might respond, “It. is next to the vase, under the magazines.”
The camera could also be used in factories or operating theatres to track a vital tools, says Sisbot. For now, the camera uses a deep sensor to spot things. It is limited to detecting objects thicker than 3 centimeters, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop placed flat on a table.
The accuracy of such smart camera systems may need to improve before they are widely adopted. “You've got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance.” says Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in UK.
51. How does the smartphone app mentioned in Paragraph 2 work
A. By switching of electricity automatically. B. By scanning barcodes of household objects.
C. By recording the movement of marked objects. D. By informing owners of potential dangers.
52. The smart cameras may be designed for .
A. lazy students B. the blind
C. young adults D. forgetful people
53. What is the limitation of the ceiling-mounted camera
A. It is unlikely to make a sound. B. It is unable to recognize movable objects.
C. It fails to find objects thinner than 3 centimeters. D. It hardly senses objects without barcode-like markers.
54. What is Geoffrey Ward's attitude towards smart camera systems
A. Neutral. B. Supportive.
C. Skeptical. D. Opposed.
55. What is the best title for the text
A. New smartphones make life easier B. Camera designers face new challenges
C. Smart cameras help increase home security D. New systems help people with memory problems

“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy---they' re given after all. Choices can be hard.”
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore
with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30, and I'd been married for a year. I told my wife that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't and I wasn't sure what to expect. She told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I had been a garage inventor. I had always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him that I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I would regret trying and failing. And I suspected that I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less secure path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.
