My parents ran a small eatery, and my first real job was shining diners' shoes. My 1
increased as I grew older. At the age of twelve I worked as a 2 . Dad told me that I was the best
"mop（拖把） guy" he'd ever had.
Working in the restaurant was a source of great pride because I was 3 to the whole family.
But my father made it clear that I had to meet certain 4 to be part of the team. That's to say, I had
to be 5 , hard-working and polite to the customers.
Except for the shoeshine job, I was never 6 for any work I did. One day I told Dad he should
give me $10 a week. He said, "Okay, then how about you paying me for your three meals a day "
This taught me that when you 7 , you'd better know the other side's arguments as well as your
own.
After being away in the army for about two years, I came back home. I had just been promoted
to captain and was full of 8 as I walked into my parents' eatery. The first thing Dad said was,
"Welcome, my mop guy! OK, it's the cleaner's day off. But how about you cleaning up 9 "
"I can't believe this!" I thought. "I'm an officer in the army!" But it didn't matter. As far as Dad
was concerned, I was just another member of the 10 involved in a family eatery. Early the next
morning, I reached for the mop.

I was four when Dad first showed me how to skim stones, a game in which one throws smooth flat
stones into a river to make them jump across the surface. I’d pass hours on beaches with my brother,
picking up muddy stones and skimming them. It was satisfying making them dance on the surface.
That perfect skim, where the stone glided (滑行), brought me fantastic feelings—and still does. I was
a competitive child and good at throwing. I enjoyed javelin (标枪) and was on a baseball team, but
skimming stones was just for fun.
In adulthood, things changed. In August 2017, an advertisement for the All England Open
Stone Skimming Championships drew my attention. I signed up and paid 2 for three stones. I
skimmed 28 metres and tried again and again, buying more stones to feed my desire, finally reaching 37
metres—which won me third place. I drove home excitedly, and 20 lighter.
I returned to the 2018 championship, hoping for a champion. Walking on to the small throwing
platform in my trainers, I threw a decent 44 metres and won. I spotted someone wearing a
competition sweater with “World” written across it. “Where’s that ” I asked and he told me about the
annual World Stone Skimming Championships in Scotland.
It was a month away and a six-hour drive. I thought about the cost and distance for weeks until, the
day before the contest, the feeling of winning made a decision for me. “I’m going.” I arrived at a hotel
at 10 pm, but couldn’t sleep for nerves and excitement. Early the next morning, I drove to the crossing
where the competitors had begun waiting. Ropes and buoys (浮标) marked a 63-metre course. I had
no idea if my best score was good enough to win. When my name was called at the prize-giving
ceremony that afternoon, I was overjoyed. I was the women’s world champion.
I’m a big believer in giving things a go. I’m 42, and to become a world champion at this stage is
pretty left-field. It showed me it was worth jumping in the car that day—and proof that a childhood
spent throwing muddy stones from beaches wasn’t wasted.
24. What did the author enjoy about the stone skimming as a child
A. The competitiveness of the sport.
B. The outstanding ability at throwing.
C. The satisfaction the glide of the stone brings.
D. The fun time she spent with her dad at the beach.

25. What mainly helped the author all the way through every championship
A. Her discipline. B. Her desire to win.
C. Her confidence. D. Her efforts on training.
26. What can we conclude from the passage
A. Take it easy in face of challenges.
B. Change the world by being yourself.
C. A bigger stage is ready for those who try.
D. Either I will find a way, or I will make one.
C
When antibiotics（抗生素）first became available, farmers used them freely. Now scientists
know that the overuse of antibiotics can cultivate drug-resistant bacteria that are dangerous to
human health. Among debates over what kinds of restrictions should be put in place, figuring out
how antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve and make their way to humans remains an area of intense
interest.
Jo Handelsman is tracing one such pathway that, as she puts it, travels from “farm to table”.
Handelsman, a microbiologist who is now associate director for science at the White House Office
of Science and Technology Policy, looked into dairy cows, which are often treated with antibiotics
and produce manure（排泄物）that farmers use on their crops. In addition to nutrients, that
fertilizer may harbor antibiotic-resistant bacteria—a problem because the bacteria can come into
contact with plants that are finally shipped to supermarkets and sometimes eaten raw.
To find out how those antibiotic-resistant bacteria come to exist, Handelsman and her
colleagues at Yale University added manure from a nearby Connecticut farm to raised beds of
soil in 2013. In this case, the manure specifically came from cows that were not treated with
antibiotics. The researchers unexpectedly found that there were more soil bacteria carrying
antibiotic-resistant genes when they were grown with the manure than when they were grown
with synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer—even though the cows were drug-free.
Previous research has found that manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contains resistant
bacteria, but the cow-pie results suggest there are more factors promoting resistance besides
antibiotic use. Something about manure itself may encourage naturally resistant bacteria to
increase.
第5页/共10页
The findings should not, however, give the impression that resistance is everywhere, notes
Lance Price, a microbiologist at George Washington University（who was not involved in the
study）. “We can control this. There’s very clear evidence that when we turn off the antibiotic
tap, we bring down drug-resistant bacteria,” says Lance.
Next on the farm-to-table schedule, Handelsman will test whether radishes grown in soil
treated with cow manure are capable of taking up resistant genes from bacteria through
their vascular system（循环系统）.“They have veins（血管）just like us,” she says. “We don’t
have any evidence yet that they’re taking up the bacteria, but it’s a really interesting possibility.”
27. What does Jo Handelsman’s research focus on
A. How antibiotics makes its way onto our table.
B. What restrictions should be put to antibiotics use.
C. How antibiotics-resistant bacteria reach human beings.
D. What damage the overuse of antibiotics does to humans.
28. What did Jo Handelsman’s research find
A. Drug-free cows produced manure with antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
B. Synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizer did more good to the environment.
C. Soil bacteria carrying antibiotic-resistant genes were increasing with time.
D. Manure from pigs treated with antibiotics contained fewer resistant bacteria.
29. Lance Price is quoted in the passage in order to .
A. provide more evidence that drug-resistance bacteria are dangerous
B. suggest another possible explanation to the antibiotics problems
C. emphasize the importance of feeding cows with no antibiotics
D. show that the research findings may not be that worrisome
30. Which of the following statements is Jo Handelsman most likely to agree with
A. It is very likely that widespread resistance to antibiotics is not inevitable.
B. Plants grown in soil fertilized with cow manure may contain drug-resistant genes.
C. There is possibility that radishes take up resistant genes wherever they are planted.
D. The vascular system plays a key role in guarding radishes against bacteria.

It’s not an urban legend: crime rates do in fact rise in the summer in the U.S. A study found that,
with the exception of robbery and auto theft, rates of all violent and property crimes are higher during
the summer than during other months. The study examined data collected during 8 years, which
included violent and property crimes that did not result in death, both reported and not reported to the
police.
The data show that, though the national crime rate dropped by 70 percent during recent years,
seasonal spikes in summer remain. In some cases those spikes are 12 percent higher than rates during
seasons in which the lows occur. The phenomenon confuses many criminologist and they wonder why.
Some reason that increased temperatures, which drive many out of doors and leave windows open
in their homes, raise the amount of time when homes are left empty. Others point to the effect of
students on summer vacation who are otherwise occupied with schooling during other seasons, while
some argue that suffering heat-induced discomfort simply makes people more aggressive and likely to
act out.
Although these elements possess certain persuasive power, their rationality is called into question
when cases in winter are put on the map. Why aren’t the rates in winter falling if heat related factors
are to blame for the summer spike Contrarily, the matter should be viewed from social and economic
angles rather than on solar terms.
Numerous studies have shown that rates of criminal behavior among young adults drop when their
communities provide them with other ways to spend their time and earn money. This was found to be
true in Los Angeles, where gang activity was reduced when community centers for teens were thriving
and active. And generally speaking, the connection between economic inequality and crime is robustly
documented for the U.S. And why summer sees a worse situation It’s probably because it’s even
harder for youngsters to land jobs that provide for life necessities.
So if officials want to address the summer spike in crime, they may act differently instead of
aiming straight at crimes. Simply upgrading security and severely punishing offences almost produce
void effects. Instead, be open to various options and they will find that development of job hunting
agencies or community professional training centers are accompanying the drop of crime rate without
seasonal exceptions. After all, bread always comes first for everyone.
31. What puzzles scholars studying crimes
A. The rates of robbery and auto theft are lower than other violent and property crimes in
summer.
B. The rates of crimes resulting in death are about the same in all seasons.
C. The crime rates not reported to the police are much higher during summer.
D. Crime rates in summer are higher than those of other seasons.
32. According to the author, what is the key reason for the seasonal spike of crime rates
第7页/共10页
A. Increased temperature left houses easier for attacks.
B. The hot environment makes people more likely to be angered.
C. Youngsters find it hard to release energies at school.
D. People’s economic needs are not satisfied by the society.
33. What can be done to fight seasonal rise of crimes
A. Lengthen the school time to hold students in school during summer.
B. Enhance the safety mechanism during the summer.
C. Take measures to encourage youth employment.
D. Frighten would-be criminals through harsh punishments.
34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. Solar terms are responsible for the summer crime spike.
B. Crime rates in summer fall by 58 percent in the U.S.
C. Los Angeles criminal activities fall because of positive community programs.
D. The crime rates in winter are low due to low mobility in the season.

Are You a Prisoner of Perfection
Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach 35 Are you setting yourself up for
failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable Understanding what drives
perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck. Shame
and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a
perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can
hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.
36 Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge
mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability
(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right,
perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.
Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in
order to do better. 37 However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become
prisoners of our perfectionism. We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously.
Sadly, we deprive (剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being
ourselves.
第8页/共10页
38 We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without
failures, we’ll never learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who
succeed have made countless mistakes. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive
ourselves and move on.
Being human, perfection is impossible. 39 Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect
our image, we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our
precious life.
A. Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize
B. A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.
C. Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself
D. The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.
E. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.
F. People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated, even if they seem outgoing and popular.
G. By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives
perfectionism.

Diwali is Hindi for “row of lights”. It is one of the most important holidays in India. Although it
began as a Hindu observance, almost everyone in the country celebrates the Festival of Lights. It
usually comes in October or November. The festival stands for new beginnings and the victory of good
over evil, of knowledge over ignorance and of inner light over spiritual darkness.
The celebration usually lasts for five days. On the first day, people consider it auspicious (吉利的)
to spring clean the home and shop for gold or kitchen utensils. Streets, houses, shops and public
buildings are decorated with small oil lamps, lighting them up with a warm, festive glow. Light is
regarded as purity, good luck and power. A big part of the festival honors the Hindu god, Lord Rama
and the legend of his visit to his kingdom after fourteen years in exile (流放). On the second day,
people decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor
using colored powders or sand. The third day is the main day of the festival when families gather
together for Lakshmi puja, a prayer to Goddess Lakshmi followed by mouth-watering feasts and
firework festivities. Hindus believe that during Diwali the goddess of wealth will visit their homes if
第9页/共10页
they are lighted up, clean and delicately decorated. It’s also a time to give thanks and pray for a good
harvest. The fourth day is the first day of the New Year when friends and relatives visit with gifts and
best wishes for the season. On the last day, brothers visit their married sisters who welcome them with
love and a lavish meal.
Diwali is an annual stimulus for the Indian economy. Indians purchase gold, gifts, decorations,
fireworks, and household appliances during this festival. Additionally, many Indian films are released
during this panies offer huge discounts during the Diwali season to attract customers,
which helps the economy. Diwali also brings tourists to the country to witness the grand celebration of
Diwali every year. They are astonished to see so many small lamps that represent the bright future and
happiness.
40. What is the symbolic meaning of the festival
41. What kind of houses does the goddess of wealth prefer to visit according to Hindus’ belief
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The celebration usually lasts for five days, and includes sharing lavish meals, lighting
fireworks and lamps, making a lot of purchases, but it affects the economy negatively.
43. Lantern Festival in China is comparable to Diwali in India. What do these two festivals have in
common
