Growing up in Cyprus， Elena felt she was different from other girls — she was interested in biology.But it was a family tragedy that helped shape her determination to major in medicine.“My parents lost their first child because he had Down’s syndrome.He passed away when I was about seven years old，” she says.“And I guess that’s always been playing on my mind and I gradually formed the idea of studying medicine.”
At about 14， she set her sights on studying medicine in the UK.“Despite being a student from a foreign country， I achieved A-levels in all my subjects， considered suitable for medicine，” she says.Now as a consultant surgeon at one of the busiest major trauma （创伤） units in England， Elena has spoken of her successful career and the challenges she has encountered as a female doctor including sometimes having to remind patients suspicious of her that “I am the surgeon”.
Elena’s main job is working with the major trauma team， but she is also involved in the team dealing with patients that have severe surgical issues.“When I’m a consultant， I have a position of responsibility not only towards my patients， but also towards the team that I cooperate with，” she says.Working hard， she has never experienced prejudice from other male surgeons， who show great respect for her.
Elena does not shy away from the fact that being a woman has sometimes felt like a disadvantage.“Find what you love doing day after day， because your professional career is a long time， and it takes a lot — probably like 20 or 30 years of your life.Therefore， it’s of great significance to do what you are fond of and then just go for it，” she says.

Throughout the history of the arts， the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.No matter what objects they select， artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change — to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging element of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s， Alfred Leslie， one of the new American realists， continued this practice.Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole， a romanticist， had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature，Leslie paints what he actually sees.In his paintings， there is no particular change in emotions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of colour photography to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides， all art begs the age-old question：What is real？Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects， the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes， and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up， understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years， the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present，Eastern or Western， the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Variety and diversity are the faces of art， and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

B.A collection of poems.

解析：C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，艺术家喜欢创造新东西，换句话说，就是他们发现的是与以前不一样、具有不同特质的东西。

A.It will not be found in future works of art.
B.It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C.It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.

D
I was recently on a crowded flight home from California， and holiday travel was busy and chaotic.I counted three different occasions of children having emotional breakdowns — one at the security checkpoint and two on the plane.I couldn’t help but notice people in line commenting，“Can’t that mom get a handle on her child？” “That kid needs some discipline！ ” ...These people seemed to suggest that these awful holiday travel circumstances should somehow be tackled with grace and ease.
To her credit， the mother of the toddler （学步儿童） in the security line kept her cool despite the sweat on her brow and her reddened face.As a mom who was constantly peppered with comments from well-intentioned friends who thought they were in possession of the recipe for perfect parenthood， I was all too familiar with her situation.
I might have been one of those judgmental folks before having my own children.Today I’m much more understanding.Raising children is hard， and every child and family situation is extremely unique.The reality of our hustle-culture and the lack of resources prohibits many people from being the kind of parents they would really like to be.Judgment certainly isn’t helpful， only causing a feeling of shame.
As is echoed in the article Reimagining Shame， the author Jan Bonhoeffer states，“Left unexamined， shame can cloud our self-view， leaving us convinced that our worth is conditional.It whispers lies： ‘You’ll never be good enough.’ And when shame continues， it can lead to self-abandonment.” The role of motherhood is both complex and challenging， so any attack on a mother will get her loaded with shame， and shame is disempowering.The last thing women need is more disempowerment.
Whoever coined the phrase， “Everyone you meet is facing an invisible battle.Be kind， ” was accurate.The least we can do is suspend our tendency to judge one another， replace it with a mindset of compassion， and resolve to do a better job empowering the other women in our lives through intentional action or advocacy.

32.What can be inferred from paragraph 1？（ ）
A.It’s easy to be an armchair critic.
B.Bystanders see most of the game.
C.There is no life without discipline.
D.Criticism is a cornerstone to growth.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可推知，那些旁观者只是轻松地发表评论，却没有考虑到实际情况的复杂性，就像坐在扶手椅上的批评家一样，只说不做，很容易就对别人指手画脚。
33.How does the author find her friends’ comments？（ ）
A.Constructive. B.Informative.
C.Unworkable. D.Misleading.
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第二、三段内容可推知，作者认为朋友自认为掌握了完美育儿的秘诀，但养育孩子情况复杂，这种评论并没有帮助，是不可行的。
34.What does Jan Bonhoeffer stress in the article？（ ）
A.The core concept of shame.
B.The potential impact of shame.
C.The true worth of self-views.
D.The complex role of motherhood.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，简·邦霍费尔强调的是羞耻感的潜在影响，包括对自我认知的影响以及可能导致的自我放弃等后果。
35.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Being non-judgmental toward mothers.
B.Maintaining a positive mindset at work.
C.Empowering mothers with multiple skills.
D.Acting swiftly to resolve hidden conflicts.
解析：A 细节理解题。根据最后一段以及上文提到对母亲的无端评判会带来不良影响可知，作者建议人们不要对母亲进行评判，用同情的心态对待她们。

Yawning （打哈欠） is an involuntary act of opening the mouth and taking a deep breath of air which is then breathed out.36.（ ）， it is also viewed as a sign of disrespect in social gatherings.However， this simple bodily function may also be a sign of underlying health concerns.Here are five things your consistent yawns might be trying to tell you.
37.（ ）.More specifically， your brain needs rest.Yawning moves hot blood from the brain and replaces it with cooler air from the lungs， which is why yawns are sometimes referred to as the body’s natural radiator system.
You’re tired.Getting only a little sleep causes the brain temperature to increase.38.（ ）.Unfortunately， while yawning may help you focus for some time， it is not a total cure for the tiredness you feel.
It’s easily spread.Sometimes， you might be yawning because you saw someone else do so.39.（ ）.
It’s a side effect.40.（ ）.A common one is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors， or SSRIs， a kind of medications usually used to treat anxiety or depression.
There exists an underlying issue.Excessive yawning is also associated with heart disease， disorder of the nervous system， liver failure or hypothyroidism.
A.You need to slow down
B.When you need to go to the doctor
C.Watching anyone yawn causes a yawn in you
D.So it makes you yawn in an attempt to cool it down
E.Yawning can also be a byproduct of taking medications
F.Some medicine is used by doctors to treat sleeplessness
G.While it is considered a sign of tiredness， or in some cases， boredom
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了打哈欠这一生理现象背后的五种健康信息，包括大脑需要休息、疲劳、传染性、药物副作用以及潜在的健康问题等。
36.G 根据空后的also可知，空处应先提及打哈欠在其他方面的看法。G项（打哈欠通常被视为疲倦或无聊的标志）与下文also衔接，说明打哈欠在社交场合还有被视为不尊重标志这一情况。
37.A 根据下文可知，本段强调身体需要休息。A项（你需要放慢节奏）与大脑需要休息相呼应，符合语境。
38.D 根据空前一句可知，睡眠少导致大脑温度升高。D项（因此它使你打哈欠试图降低大脑温度）与空前一句形成因果关系，解释了打哈欠的原因。
39.C 根据空前一句可知，有时打哈欠是因为看到别人打哈欠。C项（看到任何人打哈欠都会引发自己打哈欠）对上文进行了补充说明。
40.E 根据小标题可知，打哈欠是一种副作用；再根据下文可知，打哈欠与药物有关。E项（打哈欠也可能是服药的副作用）符合语境。

“Talia， you start，” said Mrs Stretch.Talia was new to the class.Last week， she had watched how the game was played， but this would be her first time playing.Talia jumped up and went over to Luka’s desk.Luka stood up too.“Twelve times two，” said Mrs Stretch.There was a pause as Talia and Luka raced to work out the multiplication （乘法） problem in their heads.
“Twenty-four！” Talia called out first.“Right，” said Mrs Stretch.Talia was the winner so she moved on to challenge the next student.Luka sat down.
Surprisingly， it wasn’t long before Talia had beaten several classmates.Then Talia was in front of Eddie’s desk.
“Six times seven？” asked Mrs Stretch.“Forty-two！” Talia shouted， a second before Eddie could.Eddie was disappointed he had lost to Talia， but he was happy he also knew the right answer.
It was thrilling to watch the game going on.Talia seemed to be unstoppable.Finally， Talia got to Michael.He was the last one she’d have to beat to be today’s champion.At that time， the whole classroom was charged with an electric intensity as everyone held their breath.
“Eight times twelve，” Mrs Stretch said， her voice cutting through the thick silence.

“No， Michael.We didn’t cheer against you，” Eddie said.“We were just excited for Talia.She’s new， and she worked really hard.You are still the best in our hearts.You inspired us to love math.And now， Talia has shown us that there’s always someone amazing out there.Let’s be happy for her and keep improving ourselves.” Michael looked up at Eddie， and his frown slowly turned into a smile.“You’re right，” he said.“I should be proud of Talia.And I will work even harder to be better.” From that day on， the class became even more enthusiastic about math， with everyone inspired by each other’s progress.

Growing up in Cyprus， Elena felt she was different from other girls — she was interested in biology.But it was a family tragedy that helped shape her determination to major in medicine.“My parents lost their first child because he had Down’s syndrome.He passed away when I was about seven years old，” she says.“And I guess that’s always been playing on my mind and I gradually formed the idea of studying medicine.”
At about 14， she set her sights on studying medicine in the UK.“Despite being a student from a foreign country， I achieved A-levels in all my subjects， considered suitable for medicine，” she says.Now as a consultant surgeon at one of the busiest major trauma （创伤） units in England， Elena has spoken of her successful career and the challenges she has encountered as a female doctor including sometimes having to remind patients suspicious of her that “I am the surgeon”.
Elena’s main job is working with the major trauma team， but she is also involved in the team dealing with patients that have severe surgical issues.“When I’m a consultant， I have a position of responsibility not only towards my patients， but also towards the team that I cooperate with，” she says.Working hard， she has never experienced prejudice from other male surgeons， who show great respect for her.
Elena does not shy away from the fact that being a woman has sometimes felt like a disadvantage.“Find what you love doing day after day， because your professional career is a long time， and it takes a lot — probably like 20 or 30 years of your life.Therefore， it’s of great significance to do what you are fond of and then just go for it，” she says.
24.What inspired Elena to pursue a career in medicine？（ ）
A.Encouragement from her parents. B.Her desire for being different.
C.Her interest in biology. D.A childhood incident.
25.What was one challenge Elena faced？（ ）
A.Gaining acceptance from her patients. B.Achieving A-levels in her English studies.
C.Obtaining good scores as a foreign student. D.Reminding herself about her being a doctor.
26.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？（ ）
A.Respect from other surgeons. B.Elena’s main responsibilities.
C.Prejudice from Elena’s patients. D.Medical staff’s devotion to the job.
27.What is Elena’s advice on choosing a career？（ ）
A.Make a long-term professional plan. B.Know your strengths and weaknesses.
C.Follow your passion and determination. D.Understand your career responsibilities.

Throughout the history of the arts， the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.No matter what objects they select， artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change — to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.
Landscape is another unchanging element of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s， Alfred Leslie， one of the new American realists， continued this practice.Leslie sought out the same place where Thomas Cole， a romanticist， had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature，Leslie paints what he actually sees.In his paintings， there is no particular change in emotions and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of colour photography to help both the eyes and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides， all art begs the age-old question：What is real？Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects， the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes， and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests.To sum up， understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years， the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present，Eastern or Western， the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Variety and diversity are the faces of art， and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
28.What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 1 mean？（ ）
A.An object for artistic creation. B.A collection of poems.
C.An unusual quality. D.A natural scene.
29.What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality？（ ）
A.It will not be found in future works of art.
B.It does not have a long-lasting standard.
C.It is expressed in a fixed artistic form.
D.It is lacking in modern works of art.
30.What does the author suggest about the arts in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.They express people’s curiosity about the past.
B.They make people interested in everyday experience.
C.They are considered important for variety in form.
D.They are regarded as a mirror of the human situation.
31.Which of the following is the main topic of the passage？（ ）
A.History of the arts. B.Basic questions of the arts.
C.New developments in the arts. D.Use of modern technology in the arts.
D
I was recently on a crowded flight home from California， and holiday travel was busy and chaotic.I counted three different occasions of children having emotional breakdowns — one at the security checkpoint and two on the plane.I couldn’t help but notice people in line commenting，“Can’t that mom get a handle on her child？” “That kid needs some discipline！ ” ...These people seemed to suggest that these awful holiday travel circumstances should somehow be tackled with grace and ease.
To her credit， the mother of the toddler （学步儿童） in the security line kept her cool despite the sweat on her brow and her reddened face.As a mom who was constantly peppered with comments from well-intentioned friends who thought they were in possession of the recipe for perfect parenthood， I was all too familiar with her situation.
I might have been one of those judgmental folks before having my own children.Today I’m much more understanding.Raising children is hard， and every child and family situation is extremely unique.The reality of our hustle-culture and the lack of resources prohibits many people from being the kind of parents they would really like to be.Judgment certainly isn’t helpful， only causing a feeling of shame.
As is echoed in the article Reimagining Shame， the author Jan Bonhoeffer states，“Left unexamined， shame can cloud our self-view， leaving us convinced that our worth is conditional.It whispers lies： ‘You’ll never be good enough.’ And when shame continues， it can lead to self-abandonment.” The role of motherhood is both complex and challenging， so any attack on a mother will get her loaded with shame， and shame is disempowering.The last thing women need is more disempowerment.
Whoever coined the phrase， “Everyone you meet is facing an invisible battle.Be kind， ” was accurate.The least we can do is suspend our tendency to judge one another， replace it with a mindset of compassion， and resolve to do a better job empowering the other women in our lives through intentional action or advocacy.
32.What can be inferred from paragraph 1？（ ）
A.It’s easy to be an armchair critic. B.Bystanders see most of the game.
C.There is no life without discipline. D.Criticism is a cornerstone to growth.
33.How does the author find her friends’ comments？（ ）
A.Constructive. B.Informative.
C.Unworkable. D.Misleading.
34.What does Jan Bonhoeffer stress in the article？（ ）
A.The core concept of shame. B.The potential impact of shame.
C.The true worth of self-views. D.The complex role of motherhood.
35.What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Being non-judgmental toward mothers. B.Maintaining a positive mindset at work.
C.Empowering mothers with multiple skills. D.Acting swiftly to resolve hidden conflicts.

As I was getting ready to check out some books， I recalled that I needed to obtain a particular brand of canned cat food from the vet.Upon entering the veterinary clinic， I found the vet helper assisting other customers.While waiting in line for my turn， I 41 another gentleman come in and approach the counter.Seeing the anxious expression on his face， I offered to 42 him to be served first， remarking that I would go to the 43 meanwhile.
