In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic(官僚主义的)management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The workers and employees are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness(顺从)and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
24．By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is .
A．a replaceable component of society, though functioning smoothly
B．expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C．responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
D．an essential part of society though individual’s function is insignificant
25．The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that .
A．they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
B．they are filled with the well-founded fear of being unemployed
C．they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest in real life
D．they are forced to give up their individuality and independence
26．From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those who .
A．hold well-paid and life-long jobs B．enjoy high social status and reputation
C．stay away from over-competitiveness D．outperform their fellow-competitors
27．To solve the present social problems the author suggests the we should .
A．turn to the production mode of our ancestors B．enable man to fully develop his potentialities
C．offer higher wages to workers and employees D．take the fundamental realities for granted
More than one billion young people risk damaging their hearing through excessive use of smartphones and other audio devices, the UN warned Tuesday, proposing new safety standards for safe volume levels. In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued a non binding international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices.
Young people are particularly prone to (易于) risky listening habits. Around half of those between the ages of 12 and 35, or 1.1 billion people, are at risk due to “prolonged and excessive exposure to loud sounds, including music they listen to through personal audio devices.” the UN health agency said.
Currently, about five percent of the global population, or some 375 million people, including 34 million children, suffer from disabling hearing loss, WHO considers a volume above 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes as unsafe. WHO is calling for parental as well as automatic volume controls on audio devices to prevent dangerous use.
While some smartphones and other audio devices already offer some of these features, the UN would like to see a uniform standard used to help protect against disabling hearing loss. “Think of it like driving on a highway, but without a speedometer in your car or a speed limit,” Shelly Chadha of the WHO told reporters in Geneva. “What we’ve proposed is that your smartphones come fitted with a speedometer, with a measurement system which tells you how much sound you’re getting and tells you if you are going over the limit.”
28．What can we infer from paragraph 1
A．The UN and the World Health Organization are concerned about the hearing health of the young.
B．The UN already have a unified standard to help protect against disabling hearing loss.
C．One billion young people are damaging their hearing through excessive use of smartphones.
D．A volume above 85 decibels for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes is unsafe.
29．What might be the population of the world according to the passage
A．7.5 billion. B．75 million.
C．375 million D．37.5 billion.
30．Which kind of people are more likely to suffer from hearing loss
A．Young people who seldom use their smartphones.
B．Adult who never use their cellphone above 100 decibels.
C．Children supervised by their parents on cellphone use.
D．Young people who frequently listen to music above 85 decibels for eight hours.
31．Which kind of journal might this passage be taken from
A．A travel journal. B．A health journal.
C．An entertainment journal. D．A science journal.
Pangolins (穿山甲) are the most trafficked (非法交易) mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly (有鳞片的), anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.
Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, "One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant."
Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.
Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.
Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.
32．What is the purpose of the documentary
A．To study the situation of pangolins.
B．To collect fund to protect pangolins.
C．To raise awareness of pangolin protection.
D．To propose setting up pangolin reserves.
33．What is the meaning of the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2
A．Picky. B．Messy.
C．Showy. D．Heavy.
34．What’s the documentary mainly about
A．The illegal trade of pangolins.
B．The medical function of pangolin's scales.
C．The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.
D．The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.
35．Where is the text most likely from
A．A brochure. B．A diary.
C．A novel. D．A magazine.

Imagine you’re talking to someone and find a big piece of green thing in their teeth after lunch. Are you going to tell him/her It can feel awkward to tell somebody they have something in their teeth, or elsewhere. 36
Beyond issues related to a person’s appearance, feedback is also vital for learning and growth. 37 In workplaces, feedback from managers can improve performance. We also give feedback in our personal lives, like telling our partners the dish they cooked was too hot. 38 We might feel embarrassed or cautious that the feedback could upset the person receiving it, or even harm our relationship with them. Besides, some researchers assume that another reason why we may be unwilling to give feedback is that we don’t realize how valuable it is to the person receiving it. They did an experiment in which they found while less than half of the feedback givers wanted to provide feedback when given a choice, 86% of people wanted to receive feedback, showing there is a gap between giving and wanting. Particularly, the receivers thought the feedback was highly valuable. 39
Finally, we should still be careful about immediately or eagerly telling anyone and everyone how they can improve. 40 In many cases, asking someone if they would like your feedback can be a good start.
A．So what are proper ways to provide feedbacks
B．There’s no doubt many of us avoid giving feedback.
C．Students need feedback so they can improve their grades.
D．So why are we sometimes unwilling to provide feedback elsewhere
E．Constant and eager feedbacks have a significant impact on the receivers.
F．Constructive feedback should be specific, actionable and delivered in a timely fashion.
G．Therefore, we can see that many people are unwilling to provide feedback on account of their failing to appreciate its value.

Dark rain clouds were gathering in the sky. I was cycling as fast as I could to get home before the downpour. When I felt a few big drops on my head, I decided to dash for a bus stop, about a hundred meters away. As I was nearing the bus stop, I saw a lady rushing towards it from the opposite direction, a little boy following her. The little boy was finding it hard to keep up with her, so, finally, she just picked him up and carried him.
Suddenly, a motorcycle roared past me, almost knocking me down. He turned to look at me, and for a split second, I saw his face - cruel, glaring eyes. A flood of fear crept over me. However, courage from nowhere got me to shout “Hey! Are you mad!” My voice trembled a bit. He just sped on. Then, I realized that he was rushing right toward the woman and the little boy!
“Watch out! Watch out!” I shouted. I saw the lady turn to look at the motorcyclist, with worry on her face. In an instant, the motorcyclist reached the lady. He stretched out an arm and grabbed hold of her handbag, hitting her on the back at the same time. The impact sent the lady hurtling (猛冲) forward. The mother and child fell on the road, landing right in the path of a van.
“Stop! Stop!” I screamed at the van driver, waving my arms wildly in the air. Thankfully, the van stopped a few meters from the spot where the mother and child lay. I saw the lady crawling on the road towards the crying child. Throwing my bicycle to the side of the road, I ran to help them.
注意：

24．词义猜测题。根据第一段“The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it.(起润滑作用的是更高的工资、设备完善的工厂和播放的音乐以及心理学家和“人际关系”专家；然而，所有这些润滑并不能改变这样一个事实：人已经变得无能为力，他不再全心全意地参与工作，他对工作感到厌倦)”可推断，通过 “well-oiled cog in the machinery(机器上润滑良好的齿轮)”，作者认为，尽管运行平稳，人却是社会一个可替代的组成部分，地位无足轻重。故选A。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.(事实上，他们在活着和死去的时候，从来没有面对过人类作为情感上和智力上独立和有生产力的人存在的基本现实)”可知，工人和雇员焦虑的真正原因是他们被迫放弃自己的个性和独立性。故选D。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段“This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.(这种持续不断地需要证明自己与竞争对手一样好或更好的需要，导致了持续不断的焦虑和压力，这正是不快乐和疾病的根源)”可知，作者认为，过多的竞争导致的焦虑和压力是不快乐的根源，因此，生活中真正的幸福属于那些远离过度竞争的人。故选C。
27．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities are the aims of social arrangements. (我建议把我们的社会制度，从以最大限度的生产和最大限度的消费为目的的官僚主义管理下的工业主义，转变为以人及其潜能的充分开发为社会安排目的的人文主义工业主义)”可知，为了解决目前的社会问题，作者建议我们应该使人充分开发自己的潜力。故选B。
28．A 29．A 30．D 31．B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是目前人们的听力是如何受损的以及所采取的措施。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued a non binding international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices.“为了保护听力，世界卫生组织和国际电信联盟发布了一项不具约束力的音频设备制造和使用国际标准。”可知，联合国和世界卫生组织非常关注年轻人的听力健康。故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中Currently, about five percent of the global population, or some 375 million people, including 34 million children, suffer from disabling hearing loss,“目前，全球约5%的人口，即约3.75亿人，包括3400万儿童患有听力丧失，”由此可知，全球人口是3.75 billion 除以5%等于7.5 billion 。故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中WHO considers a volume above 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes as unsafe.“世卫组织认为8小时内音量超过85分贝或15分钟内音量超过100分贝是不安全的。”可知，经常听85分贝以上音乐8小时的年轻人更有可能遭受听力损失。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段中In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued a non binding international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices.“为了保护听力，世界卫生组织和国际电信联盟发布了一项不具约束力的音频设备制造和使用国际标准。”可知这篇文章讲述的是保护听力的问题，属于健康范畴。所以它不可能来自旅游日记、娱乐日记或科学杂志，而是最有可能来自“健康杂志”。故选B。
【点睛】做推理判断题时，要求考生在阅读时，要抓住文章的主题和细节，分析文章结构，根据上下文内在联系，挖掘文章的深层含义。在进行推理时，考生一定要仔细阅读短文，千万不可脱离原文而仅凭个人的看法，主观臆断。本题第1小题，根据第一段中In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued a non binding international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices.“为了保护听力，世界卫生组织和国际电信联盟发布了一项不具约束力的音频设备制造和使用国际标准。”可知，联合国和世界卫生组织非常关注年轻人的听力健康。故选A。
32．C 33．A 34．C 35．D
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。穿山甲是世界上被贩运最频繁的哺乳动物，并且正面临灭绝。一部新的野生动物纪录片《穿山甲之眼》正在尝试以一种独特的方式来呼吁人们采取行动保护它们。
32．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.”可知，该纪录片的目的是呼吁全世界的观看者采取行动，制止贩运从而保护这些独特的生物。因此，该纪录片的目的是提高对穿山甲保护的认识。故选C。
33．词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant.”可知，穿山甲实际上是挑剔的食者。你会认为他们会吃任何类型的蚂蚁，但他们更喜欢特定类型的蚂蚁。即划线词“fussy”意为“挑剔”的。A. Picky. 挑剔的；B. Messy.凌乱的；C. Showy.显眼的；D. Heavy.沉重的。故选A。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat”可知，该纪录片的重点不是穿山甲的贩运，而是更多地关注自然栖息地的穿山甲。因此这部纪录片的主要内容是穿山甲在自然栖息地的生活。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Pangolins are the most trafficked mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly, anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation.”可知，穿山甲正面临灭绝。一部新的野生动物纪录片《穿山甲之眼》正在尝试以一种独特的方式来呼吁人们采取行动保护它们。由这个话题内容可知，文章最有可能来自一本动物保护方面的杂志。A. A brochure. 一本小册子；B. A diary. 一本日记；C. A novel. 一本小说；D. A magazine. 一本杂志。故选D。
36．B 37．C 38．D 39．G 40．F

37．根据上文“Beyond issues related to a person’s appearance, feedback is also vital for learning and growth.”（除了与一个人的外表有关的问题外，反馈对学习和成长也至关重要。）说明反馈对学习和成长也至关重要。结合选项C项Students need feedback so they can improve their grades.（学生需要反馈，这样他们才能提高成绩。）上下文意思一致，说明学生在学习中反馈的作用，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
38．根据下文“We might feel embarrassed or cautious that the feedback could upset the person receiving it, or even harm our relationship with them.”（我们可能会感到尴尬或谨慎，因为反馈可能会让接受反馈的人感到不安，甚至损害我们与他们的关系。）说明我们在有些时候不反馈的原因。可推知，空格处内容为有时候我们也会不反馈。结合选项D项So why are we sometimes unwilling to provide feedback elsewhere （那么，为什么我们有时不愿意在其他地方提供反馈呢？）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
39．由该空格处位于该段句尾可知，为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文“They did an experiment in which they found while less than half of the feedback givers wanted to provide feedback when given a choice, 86% of people wanted to receive feedback, showing there is a gap between giving and wanting. Particularly, the receivers thought the feedback was highly valuable.”（他们做了一个实验，在实验中，他们发现，当给予反馈的人有选择的时候，只有不到一半的人愿意提供反馈，而86%的人想要得到反馈，这表明在给予和想要之间存在差距。特别是，接收者认为反馈非常有价值。）说明接收者认为反馈非常有价值。结合选项G项Therefore, we can see that many people are unwilling to provide feedback on account of their failing to appreciate its value.（因此，我们可以看到很多人不愿意提供反馈，因为他们没有意识到反馈的价值。）为对上文内容相反情况的解释说明，即不反馈的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
40．上文“Finally, we should still be careful about immediately or eagerly telling anyone and everyone how they can improve.”（最后，我们仍然应该谨慎地立即或急切地告诉任何人和每个人他们如何改进。）说明告诉任何人和每个人他们如何改进。下文“In many cases, asking someone if they would like you-feedback can be a good start.”（在很多情况下，询问别人是否喜欢你的反馈可能是一个好的开始。）故可推断空格处内容为反馈改进的具体要求。结合选项F项Constructive feedback should be specific, actionable and delivered in a timely fashion.（建设性的反馈应该是具体的、可操作的、及时的。）符合此推断，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

67．By the time I got there, the van driver had reached them. He was gently holding the child and examining his limbs. Fortunately, the little boy was all right. “Don’t panic. You’ll be all right. We’ll rush you to a hospital,” I said to the woman, trying to relieve her anxiety. The lady could not walk, so the man carried her and settled her in his van. I carried the whimpering child to the van and landed him beside his mother. The man asked me to go along with them so that I could help make the police report.
I realized that, by this time, the motorcyclist must have gone far from that spot, with the lady’s handbag. A few days later, I received a phone call from the woman. I was informed that she had suffered only minor injuries from the incident and already been discharged from the hospital. “What’s more, the snatch thief was finally arrested and put into jail, thanks to your detailed description of his facial features.” she added. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your timely help.” Finishing the telephone call, I felt overwhelmed with delight from the bottom of my heart. The warm sunshine shone in. What a beautiful day!

In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic(官僚主义的)management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-collar and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The workers and employees are anxious, seemingly because they might find themselves out of a job or they would say that they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. In fact, they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness(顺从)and independence. From the moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century “free enterprise” capitalism Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities are the aims of social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man.
24．By “a well-oiled cog in the machinery”, the author expresses the idea that man is .
A．a replaceable component of society, though functioning smoothly
B．expected to work in reasonable harmony with the rest of society
C．responsible for the smooth running of society and business operations
D．an essential part of society though individual’s function is insignificant
25．The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that .
A．they have to face the fundamental realities of human existence
B．they are filled with the well-founded fear of being unemployed
C．they don’t have any genuine satisfaction or interest in real life
D．they are forced to give up their individuality and independence
26．From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those who .
A．hold well-paid and life-long jobs B．enjoy high social status and reputation
C．stay away from over-competitiveness D．outperform their fellow-competitors
27．To solve the present social problems the author suggests the we should .
A．turn to the production mode of our ancestors B．enable man to fully develop his potentialities
C．offer higher wages to workers and employees D．take the fundamental realities for granted
More than one billion young people risk damaging their hearing through excessive use of smartphones and other audio devices, the UN warned Tuesday, proposing new safety standards for safe volume levels. In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued a non binding international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices.
Young people are particularly prone to (易于) risky listening habits. Around half of those between the ages of 12 and 35, or 1.1 billion people, are at risk due to “prolonged and excessive exposure to loud sounds, including music they listen to through personal audio devices.” the UN health agency said.
Currently, about five percent of the global population, or some 375 million people, including 34 million children, suffer from disabling hearing loss, WHO considers a volume above 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes as unsafe. WHO is calling for parental as well as automatic volume controls on audio devices to prevent dangerous use.
While some smartphones and other audio devices already offer some of these features, the UN would like to see a uniform standard used to help protect against disabling hearing loss. “Think of it like driving on a highway, but without a speedometer in your car or a speed limit,” Shelly Chadha of the WHO told reporters in Geneva. “What we’ve proposed is that your smartphones come fitted with a speedometer, with a measurement system which tells you how much sound you’re getting and tells you if you are going over the limit.”
28．What can we infer from paragraph 1
A．The UN and the World Health Organization are concerned about the hearing health of the young.
B．The UN already have a unified standard to help protect against disabling hearing loss.
C．One billion young people are damaging their hearing through excessive use of smartphones.
D．A volume above 85 decibels for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes is unsafe.
29．What might be the population of the world according to the passage
A．7.5 billion. B．75 million.
C．375 million D．37.5 billion.
30．Which kind of people are more likely to suffer from hearing loss
A．Young people who seldom use their smartphones.
B．Adult who never use their cellphone above 100 decibels.
C．Children supervised by their parents on cellphone use.
D．Young people who frequently listen to music above 85 decibels for eight hours.
31．Which kind of journal might this passage be taken from
A．A travel journal. B．A health journal.
C．An entertainment journal. D．A science journal.
Pangolins (穿山甲) are the most trafficked (非法交易) mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly (有鳞片的), anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.
Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, "One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant."
Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.
Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.
Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.
32．What is the purpose of the documentary
A．To study the situation of pangolins.
B．To collect fund to protect pangolins.
C．To raise awareness of pangolin protection.
D．To propose setting up pangolin reserves.
33．What is the meaning of the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2
A．Picky. B．Messy.
C．Showy. D．Heavy.
34．What’s the documentary mainly about
A．The illegal trade of pangolins.
B．The medical function of pangolin's scales.
C．The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.
D．The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.
35．Where is the text most likely from
A．A brochure. B．A diary.
C．A novel. D．A magazine.

Beyond issues related to a person’s appearance, feedback is also vital for learning and growth. 37 In workplaces, feedback from managers can improve performance. We also give feedback in our personal lives, like telling our partners the dish they cooked was too hot. 38 We might feel embarrassed or cautious that the feedback could upset the person receiving it, or even harm our relationship with them. Besides, some researchers assume that another reason why we may be unwilling to give feedback is that we don’t realize how valuable it is to the person receiving it. They did an experiment in which they found while less than half of the feedback givers wanted to provide feedback when given a choice, 86% of people wanted to receive feedback, showing there is a gap between giving and wanting. Particularly, the receivers thought the feedback was highly valuable. 39
Finally, we should still be careful about immediately or eagerly telling anyone and everyone how they can improve. 40 In many cases, asking someone if they would like your feedback can be a good start.
A．So what are proper ways to provide feedbacks
B．There’s no doubt many of us avoid giving feedback.
C．Students need feedback so they can improve their grades.
D．So why are we sometimes unwilling to provide feedback elsewhere
E．Constant and eager feedbacks have a significant impact on the receivers.
F．Constructive feedback should be specific, actionable and delivered in a timely fashion.
G．Therefore, we can see that many people are unwilling to provide feedback on account of their failing to appreciate its value.

Dark rain clouds were gathering in the sky. I was cycling as fast as I could to get home before the downpour. When I felt a few big drops on my head, I decided to dash for a bus stop, about a hundred meters away. As I was nearing the bus stop, I saw a lady rushing towards it from the opposite direction, a little boy following her. The little boy was finding it hard to keep up with her, so, finally, she just picked him up and carried him.
Suddenly, a motorcycle roared past me, almost knocking me down. He turned to look at me, and for a split second, I saw his face - cruel, glaring eyes. A flood of fear crept over me. However, courage from nowhere got me to shout “Hey! Are you mad!” My voice trembled a bit. He just sped on. Then, I realized that he was rushing right toward the woman and the little boy!
“Watch out! Watch out!” I shouted. I saw the lady turn to look at the motorcyclist, with worry on her face. In an instant, the motorcyclist reached the lady. He stretched out an arm and grabbed hold of her handbag, hitting her on the back at the same time. The impact sent the lady hurtling (猛冲) forward. The mother and child fell on the road, landing right in the path of a van.
“Stop! Stop!” I screamed at the van driver, waving my arms wildly in the air. Thankfully, the van stopped a few meters from the spot where the mother and child lay. I saw the lady crawling on the road towards the crying child. Throwing my bicycle to the side of the road, I ran to help them.

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个周末度假必备用品。
21．细节理解题。根据“ECCO Offroad Athletic Sandals, 59.38”部分的句子“Whether you’re off on a city break or exploring beaches, chances are you’re getting your steps in this holiday, which will be hard going on your feet. These ECCO sandals are specially designed and most comfortable when hiking, with an EVA footbed and ECCOFLUIDFORM design offering extra cushioning (减震) and flexibility.（无论你是去城市度假还是去海滩探险，你都有可能在这个假期里迈开脚步，这对你的脚来说是很困难的。这些ECCO凉鞋是特别设计的，徒步旅行时最舒适，EVA鞋垫和ECCOFLUIDFORM设计提供额外的缓冲和灵活性。）”可知，ECCO Offroad Athletic Sandals的优点是它的舒适性。故选C项。
22．细节理解题。根据“PowerAdd Portable(便携式的)Charger Power Bank, 15.99”部分的介绍“Portable chargers have gained popularity recently, but this one is genuinely pocket-sized without any loss of the charging power. The power bank itself can be fully charged within a speedy two hours, and delivers roughly two charges for an iPhone 15. At10.5cm length, and 99g weight, you can easily slip this into your bag without feeling weighed down.（便携式充电器最近很流行，但这款是真正的口袋大小，不会损失任何充电功率。充电宝本身可以在两小时内充满电，为iPhone 15充电大约两次。它长10.5厘米，重99克，你可以轻松地把它塞进包里，而不会感到沉重。）”可知，PowerAdd Portable Charger Power Bank适合那些对低电量焦虑的人。故选C项。
23．推理判断题。根据文章内容，特别是第一句话“Going away for your mini break Bring these long weekend essentials to make the most of the leave.（出去度个小假？带上这些长周末必备用品，充分利用假期。）”可知，外出度假的人会对这篇文章感兴趣。故选A项。
24．A 25．D 26．C 27．B
【导语】本文为一篇议论文，作者认为，在现代官僚主义管理制度下，人出现普遍焦虑的现象，为了摆脱这一现状，社会制度应该向鼓励人及其潜能充分开发的人文主义工业转变。
24．词义猜测题。根据第一段“The oiling is done with higher wages, well-equipped factories and piped music, and by psychologists and “human-relations” experts; yet all this oiling does not change the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and he is bored with it.(起润滑作用的是更高的工资、设备完善的工厂和播放的音乐以及心理学家和“人际关系”专家；然而，所有这些润滑并不能改变这样一个事实：人已经变得无能为力，他不再全心全意地参与工作，他对工作感到厌倦)”可推断，通过 “well-oiled cog in the machinery(机器上润滑良好的齿轮)”，作者认为，尽管运行平稳，人却是社会一个可替代的组成部分，地位无足轻重。故选A。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, they live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.(事实上，他们在活着和死去的时候，从来没有面对过人类作为情感上和智力上独立和有生产力的人存在的基本现实)”可知，工人和雇员焦虑的真正原因是他们被迫放弃自己的个性和独立性。故选D。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段“This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness.(这种持续不断地需要证明自己与竞争对手一样好或更好的需要，导致了持续不断的焦虑和压力，这正是不快乐和疾病的根源)”可知，作者认为，过多的竞争导致的焦虑和压力是不快乐的根源，因此，生活中真正的幸福属于那些远离过度竞争的人。故选C。
27．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities are the aims of social arrangements. (我建议把我们的社会制度，从以最大限度的生产和最大限度的消费为目的的官僚主义管理下的工业主义，转变为以人及其潜能的充分开发为社会安排目的的人文主义工业主义)”可知，为了解决目前的社会问题，作者建议我们应该使人充分开发自己的潜力。故选B。
28．A 29．A 30．D 31．B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是目前人们的听力是如何受损的以及所采取的措施。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued a non binding international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices.“为了保护听力，世界卫生组织和国际电信联盟发布了一项不具约束力的音频设备制造和使用国际标准。”可知，联合国和世界卫生组织非常关注年轻人的听力健康。故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中Currently, about five percent of the global population, or some 375 million people, including 34 million children, suffer from disabling hearing loss,“目前，全球约5%的人口，即约3.75亿人，包括3400万儿童患有听力丧失，”由此可知，全球人口是3.75 billion 除以5%等于7.5 billion 。故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中WHO considers a volume above 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes as unsafe.“世卫组织认为8小时内音量超过85分贝或15分钟内音量超过100分贝是不安全的。”可知，经常听85分贝以上音乐8小时的年轻人更有可能遭受听力损失。故选D。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段中In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued a non binding international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices.“为了保护听力，世界卫生组织和国际电信联盟发布了一项不具约束力的音频设备制造和使用国际标准。”可知这篇文章讲述的是保护听力的问题，属于健康范畴。所以它不可能来自旅游日记、娱乐日记或科学杂志，而是最有可能来自“健康杂志”。故选B。
【点睛】做推理判断题时，要求考生在阅读时，要抓住文章的主题和细节，分析文章结构，根据上下文内在联系，挖掘文章的深层含义。在进行推理时，考生一定要仔细阅读短文，千万不可脱离原文而仅凭个人的看法，主观臆断。本题第1小题，根据第一段中In a bid to safeguard hearing, the World Health Organization and International Telecommunications Union issued a non binding international standard for the manufacture and use of audio devices.“为了保护听力，世界卫生组织和国际电信联盟发布了一项不具约束力的音频设备制造和使用国际标准。”可知，联合国和世界卫生组织非常关注年轻人的听力健康。故选A。

32．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.”可知，该纪录片的目的是呼吁全世界的观看者采取行动，制止贩运从而保护这些独特的生物。因此，该纪录片的目的是提高对穿山甲保护的认识。故选C。
33．词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant.”可知，穿山甲实际上是挑剔的食者。你会认为他们会吃任何类型的蚂蚁，但他们更喜欢特定类型的蚂蚁。即划线词“fussy”意为“挑剔”的。A. Picky. 挑剔的；B. Messy.凌乱的；C. Showy.显眼的；D. Heavy.沉重的。故选A。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat”可知，该纪录片的重点不是穿山甲的贩运，而是更多地关注自然栖息地的穿山甲。因此这部纪录片的主要内容是穿山甲在自然栖息地的生活。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Pangolins are the most trafficked mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly, anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation.”可知，穿山甲正面临灭绝。一部新的野生动物纪录片《穿山甲之眼》正在尝试以一种独特的方式来呼吁人们采取行动保护它们。由这个话题内容可知，文章最有可能来自一本动物保护方面的杂志。A. A brochure. 一本小册子；B. A diary. 一本日记；C. A novel. 一本小说；D. A magazine. 一本杂志。故选D。

38．根据下文“We might feel embarrassed or cautious that the feedback could upset the person receiving it, or even harm our relationship with them.”（我们可能会感到尴尬或谨慎，因为反馈可能会让接受反馈的人感到不安，甚至损害我们与他们的关系。）说明我们在有些时候不反馈的原因。可推知，空格处内容为有时候我们也会不反馈。结合选项D项So why are we sometimes unwilling to provide feedback elsewhere （那么，为什么我们有时不愿意在其他地方提供反馈呢？）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
39．由该空格处位于该段句尾可知，为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文“They did an experiment in which they found while less than half of the feedback givers wanted to provide feedback when given a choice, 86% of people wanted to receive feedback, showing there is a gap between giving and wanting. Particularly, the receivers thought the feedback was highly valuable.”（他们做了一个实验，在实验中，他们发现，当给予反馈的人有选择的时候，只有不到一半的人愿意提供反馈，而86%的人想要得到反馈，这表明在给予和想要之间存在差距。特别是，接收者认为反馈非常有价值。）说明接收者认为反馈非常有价值。结合选项G项Therefore, we can see that many people are unwilling to provide feedback on account of their failing to appreciate its value.（因此，我们可以看到很多人不愿意提供反馈，因为他们没有意识到反馈的价值。）为对上文内容相反情况的解释说明，即不反馈的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
40．上文“Finally, we should still be careful about immediately or eagerly telling anyone and everyone how they can improve.”（最后，我们仍然应该谨慎地立即或急切地告诉任何人和每个人他们如何改进。）说明告诉任何人和每个人他们如何改进。下文“In many cases, asking someone if they would like you-feedback can be a good start.”（在很多情况下，询问别人是否喜欢你的反馈可能是一个好的开始。）故可推断空格处内容为反馈改进的具体要求。结合选项F项Constructive feedback should be specific, actionable and delivered in a timely fashion.（建设性的反馈应该是具体的、可操作的、及时的。）符合此推断，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

67．By the time I got there, the van driver had reached them. He was gently holding the child and examining his limbs. Fortunately, the little boy was all right. “Don’t panic. You’ll be all right. We’ll rush you to a hospital,” I said to the woman, trying to relieve her anxiety. The lady could not walk, so the man carried her and settled her in his van. I carried the whimpering child to the van and landed him beside his mother. The man asked me to go along with them so that I could help make the police report.
I realized that, by this time, the motorcyclist must have gone far from that spot, with the lady’s handbag. A few days later, I received a phone call from the woman. I was informed that she had suffered only minor injuries from the incident and already been discharged from the hospital. “What’s more, the snatch thief was finally arrested and put into jail, thanks to your detailed description of his facial features.” she added. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your timely help.” Finishing the telephone call, I felt overwhelmed with delight from the bottom of my heart. The warm sunshine shone in. What a beautiful day!
