语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们：关注诚实可以让人更快乐。
1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，作者的女儿在她解释到一半时就已经失去了兴趣。
2.C　推理判断题。文章第一段提到那只猫，作者在第二段中由此发出感慨：the choice to lie or be honest was often a choice between two equally undesirable things，紧接着又进一步做出了Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier， but lying wouldn’t have either.的解释。由此可知，作者认为诚实让自己不开心，但撒谎也不会让自己开心。因此，C项中的tricky pair描述了诚实和撒谎之间微妙的关系。
3.D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的I struggled more with the small instances of honesty， rather than the big可知，作者提到自己在麦当劳的买餐经历，就是为了说明当涉及小事时，人们往往容易忽略诚实。本段采用了对比的写作手法，将客户重复支付的1000美元（数额大→大事）和麦当劳多找零的an extra dollar（数额小→小事）进行对比说明主题。
4.B　观点态度题。根据最后两段中的I started to like how it felt、I tended to feel better、this focus on honesty helped me feel that I was doing my part以及make you feel as if you have gold in your brain可知，作者认为关注诚实有好处。
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。一场在悉尼歌剧院举办的商业推广活动引发了公众的热议。作者认为人们应当尊重和赞赏国家的瑰宝，而不是通过它获取经济利益。
5.A　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，悉尼歌剧院为一场赛马比赛打广告引起了很大的争议。一些人认为歌剧院应该用于获取经济利益，另外一些人则对政府批准将国家级地标用于商业宣传感到震惊。
6.D　细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知，从前在悉尼歌剧院举办的活动都是公益活动，与单个品牌的收益无关。
7.B　推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段的最后一句可知，作者提及莫斯科红场的例子是为了说明将著名景点用于商业宣传，最终只会给景点带来负面影响。
8.B　观点态度题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，作者认为人们应该尊重和赞赏国家瑰宝，而不是利用它们获取经济利益。由此可推知，作者对在悉尼歌剧院举办的商业推广活动持反对意见。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了诚实正直的品质在生活中很重要的几个原因。
9.F　上文介绍了诚实正直的含义，下面几段介绍了拥有诚实正直的品质在生活中很重要的几个原因，故F项符合语境。
10.B　根据本段小标题“你会建立更好的关系”可知，B项（诚实正直的品质对于改善人际关系非常重要）符合语境。B项中的relationships与小标题中的relationships以及空后两次出现的relationships构成原词复现。
11.C　设空处前一句说明诚实正直的品质会大大提高你的信誉，设空处后一句指出信任拥有道德价值和标准的人是人类的天性。因此，C项（如果你拥有诚实正直的价值观，人们就会开始信任你）符合语境。C项中的trust与上文中的credibility和下文中的believe in相呼应。
12.E　上文指出如果你是一个诚实正直的人，那么你的自信心自然会变强。反之，自信心就会下降。因此，E项（总之，诚实正直的品质能让你对自己充满信心）符合语境。E项中的feel very sure about the person you are与空前的self-confidence相呼应。
13.G　上文说明当人们开始信任你时，你就拥有了领导力。下文指出领导力不仅仅是最优秀的品质之一，也是年轻人在成长过程中应该学习的一项重要生活技能。因此，G项（这就是为什么你会发现大多数领导者都是诚实正直的人）符合语境。G项中的leaders与设空处前后均出现的leadership相呼应。

6.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的he decided to crowdfund on Newey’s behalf via a Venmo link on his TikTok page可知，Carlos通过在网上筹集资金来帮助Newey。
7.A　词义猜测题。根据第三段开头的the surprise delivery和Carlos带来的善款以及画线词后面的his eyes filled with tears可推知，Newey 大吃一惊，满眼泪水。故画线词flabbergasted意为“非常震惊”。

13.A　上文说明了爱可能是最重要的一项责任。下文指出了它们是需要你照顾的伙伴；它们能够理解你；它们以你的幸福为生活目标。负责任的宠物主人会努力为它们做同样的事情。A项（你的宠物不是你的财产）符合语境。

8.A　词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句及第四句可知，养育子女没有全面的指导手册，希望你的丈夫或妻子能帮助你向着正确的方向前进。据此推断，画线短语所在句表示有时候你会出错。由此可猜测，screw up意为“把……弄糟；出错”，与mess up意思相近。
9.C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的It’s the children whose parents allow them to do anything they want who often harbour doubts about whether they are really loved.可知，作者认为管教孩子是爱的一种表现。
10.D　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，父亲的角色赋予了生命无与伦比的意义，对我们很多人来说，为人父母很可能是一种抗抑郁剂，你的孩子总是会以这样或那样的方式需要你。由此推断，作者提到父母为孩子所做的事情是为了说明做父母的重要性。

14.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，维苏耶雷指出在现实世界中，你可能需要通过额外的调查或后续问题来确认陈述的准确性，即他认为他的研究应用于现实生活中会有一些局限性。
15.C　写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了评估范围广泛的行为信息会让判断一个人是否在撒谎变得更加困难，阿姆斯特丹大学的布鲁诺·维苏耶雷和他的同事们进行了一项研究，以证实只依靠陈述的细节来识别说谎者是相对容易的。由此可推知，作者写本文的主要目的是告知读者关于识别说谎者的科学发现。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年时期的一些特点以及远离消极同伴压力的方法。

18.E　根据上文可知，想要融入群体可能会迫使你做一些违背自己正确判断的事情，下文则提到这并不会阻止你做真实的自己。由此可推测，本句旨在说明你因为害怕失去朋友或被嘲笑而不敢拒绝。故E项符合语境。
19.B　上文提到的是远离消极同伴压力的第一点措施，本句应说明远离消极同伴压力的第二点措施，故B项（其次，忠于自己的想法并坚持自己所相信的）符合语境。

Dear Chris，
　　Glad to receive your email asking about the voluntary activity I took part in last week.I’ll tell you some details about it.
　　Our school organized a voluntary activity to help the elderly in the local nursing home， and I got actively involved， talking with the old people and trying my best to amuse them.Looking at their smiling faces， I believe I’ve made a difference to their lives.I also realized the importance of having family close by.I made up my mind that I would spend more time with my grandparents.
Yours，
Li Hua

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何做好志愿者工作提出了一些建议。

6.C　根据上文可知，本段主要是关于志愿者态度的说明，上文提到面带微笑表现出你想在那里做志愿者，由此可推测此处应表述的是需要积极的态度，C项中的a positive attitude对应上文中的a good attitude。故C项（如果你有积极的态度，你和你周围的每个人会更快乐）符合语境。
7.E　根据上文Follow the rules.可知，本段的建议是遵守志愿者的规则，下文中them指代E项中的a list of rules。故E项（有人可能已经给了你一份规则列表，不管是书面的还是口头的）符合语境。
8.A　本空位于本段开头，根据第三、四、六段开头语可知，本空应选祈使句作为本段的主旨句。根据下文中的let him know as soon as possible和share your thoughts with him可知，本段提到要多和他人分享自己的想法，即多和他人沟通。故A项（多交流）符合语境。
9.F　上文提到你可能在工作过程中注意到有其他的事情需要做，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明如何应对这种情况。故F项（不管这件事是什么，尽量去做，除非它违反了你组织的规定）符合语境。

　　Feeling that country life might turn out okay， I wandered off， taking my violin with me.Suddenly I heard something I wasn’t expecting — a beautiful， jazzy tune.I pushed through some corn only to come face-to-face with a cow.Then another hot jazz riff floated through the air.I turned around and saw a tall kid playing an old saxophone in a field of corn.His music was fantastic， and he didn’t dress the way I figured a country kid would.This guy was wearing clothes that made him look cool， like a famous performer.
　　I couldn’t resist， so I took out my violin and began to play along.The boy looked surprised， but he didn’t miss a beat.We played together， and by the end， a cow was tapping her tail to the rhythm.When we finished， we introduced ourselves to each other and became friends.We also decided to write songs together.I looked at my new friend， the cheerful cow and tall corn.I could feel my thoughts about country life already changing， and I had a feeling it would change a lot more.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了企业越来越重视员工的学习能力的现象。
1.C　目的意图题。根据第一段内容可知，就寻找、保住工作而言，有一项技能变得越来越重要，即学习能力。Eric Schmidt曾谈到谷歌的招聘重点是寻找“学习型动物”，即能够主动学习的人。作者通过介绍谷歌的招聘理念，举例说明了企业认为学习能力是一项重要的技能。
2.A　词义猜测题。根据第二段最后三句可知，很多雇主通常都不愿意培训员工，因为这些员工在接受了昂贵的培训且获得技能后，可能会跳槽到竞争对手处。但Gail Jackson持有不同的观点，她曾说：“与其不培训员工并把他们留在公司，还不如让员工接受培训后再离开。”由此可推知，“这种态度”是指企业应该在员工培训方面作出投资。
3.D　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，Satya Nadella在接任微软总裁时，为公司文化制定了一个新方向。他借鉴了一位心理学教授的观点，改进了其绩效评估标准，包括评估员工是如何向他人学习并应用所学知识的。由此可推知，Satya Nadella上任后，在企业内推广了一种学习型文化。
4.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，AT & T面临着两大劳动力问题，该公司的应对措施是一项宏伟的计划：重新培训自己的员工。该公司开发了一些短期课程，员工能利用自己的时间来学习新技能。由此可知，AT & T的应对方法是培训现有员工学习新技能。

6.C　段落大意题。第二段主要讲述了一群来自罗彻斯特理工大学的学生将Ramelli描述的书轮变为现实。
7.A　细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知，Galbraith认为Ramelli是为了当时要相互参照书籍的需求而量身打造的书轮。本段中的Lazy Susan意为“餐桌转盘”。
8.D　写作目的题。本文主要讲述了罗彻斯特理工大学的学生们将意大利工程师Ramelli设计的书轮变为现实这一故事。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英语学习者最常犯的几个错误。
9.E　上文说明了全球大约有十亿英语学习者，但是要流利地使用英语并非易事。根据下文四个小标题可知，E项（下面是英语学习者最常犯的一些错误）符合语境。
10.A　空前一句指出：在英语中，很多形容词在意思和形式上都很相似，比如bored/boring和interested/interesting。下文指出结果，英语学习者一不小心就会用错。A项（这几对词语仅相差几个字母）符合语境，与下文构成因果关系。A项中的These pairs指代设空处前一句中列举的两对形容词。
11.F　空前一句指出：在许多语言中，宾格代词（例如him和her）和物主代词（例如his和hers）是相同的。F项以西班牙语进行举例说明，符合语境。F项中的both translated as “su libro”与设空处前一句中的the same相呼应。
12.C　上文指出：在许多语言中，你只需要在句子末尾加一个问号，就能把陈述句变成疑问句。C项（但在英语中，要想构成疑问句，通常需要改变词序）符合语境，与上文构成转折关系。C项中的word order与小标题中的word order构成原词复现。
13.D　上文说明了英语中有三个冠词：“the”“an”和“a”，英语老师都清楚的一点是，很难解释清楚冠词使用的准确规则，况且还有很多特殊用法。D项（对于母语中没有冠词的学习者来说，这点尤其困难）符合语境。D项中的articles与小标题中的article和上文中的articles构成原词复现。

1.D　词义猜测题。第三段首句衔接第二段内容，make a splash与第二段末句中的earned high praise from almost everyone及第三段首句中的has some attention-drawing aspects意义相近，意为“引起很大关注”。
2.A　推理判断题。作者在第二段末句提出问题：到底是什么让该博物馆赢得大众的普遍赞誉？第三段是为解释该问题服务的；第三段谈到该博物馆为了向人们解释软体动物的奥秘下了大功夫，还谈到其选址的独特性：由于规格较小，可以随时移动，可在公共机构设置此类博物馆。
3.D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的MICRO seeks to make exhibits more accessible in places with fewer museums.可知，MICRO选址时更倾向于考虑博物馆比较少的地方，以满足这些区域的人们对展览的需求。
4.A　标题归纳题。文章介绍了MICRO公司的微型博物馆，旨在让更多人有机会参观博物馆，让学习在不经意间发生。A项作标题最能概括文意。A项中的Tiny Museums指MICRO公司开发的这种自动售货机大小的博物馆，Big Ideas指MICRO公司的愿景。

5.C　推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者得到了经济援助，能够负担得起入学费用、书籍、用品、课程材料和其他与学校相关的费用，但负担不起住房、交通、食物、医疗和其他基本生活必需品。由此可推知，作者在经济上陷入困境。
6.A　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知，作者很快开始在机场做飞机客舱清洁工，因此在机场的第一个夜班，作者就要清理各种大小的飞机。由此可知，画线词意为“清理”。
7.A　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，在机场工作和上学不太容易兼顾。在秋季学期结束时，作者因为出勤率问题收到了最后一次警告。作者又一次处于进退两难的境地，不得不作出决定。作者想去上学，取得优异成绩，但也已经习惯了在经济上养活自己。由此可推知，作者很困惑。
8.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者为工作付出了很多，甚至牺牲了自己的教育，现在作者将既没有工作也没有教育。作者终于明白了祖母曾经说过的一句话：你的工作是暂时的，而你所受的教育是永远的。由此可推知，学校教育的重要性应该得到承认。

9.F　根据本段主题句可知，本段内容围绕resume 展开。设空处下一句中的also提示设空处与空后一句为递进关系，F项（去学校职业服务中心寻求简历方面的帮助）及设空处下一句“你也可以使用免费的网络工具轻松创建一份简历”为制作简历的两种方法。故F项符合语境。
10.D　根据本段小标题及设空处下一句可知，本段围绕毕业之后正式就业的事情展开。D项（你大学毕业后想要做什么？）与本段主题相符，建议读者在找暑期工作时，应该将眼光放长远些，最好找对以后正式就业有帮助的职位，为以后的正式就业打基础。
11.B　设空处上一句中的drop by、B项、设空处下一句中的give your 30-second speech为按照时间顺序发生的三个动作，这一连串动作将上下文衔接起来。

15.B　参见上题解析。
16.C　根据上文a senior at Eastern High和下文back in the ninth grade可知，Mikala现在是高中生，因此她从九年级开始这份工作。末段中的when she started almost four years ago也是提示。
17.B　根据上文Mikala， a senior at Eastern High和空后的like her可知，这里指像Mikala一样的高中生。
18.D　根据空后两句可知，这是两个方面，表示Reach这个非营利机构既帮助读写能力差的学生，与此同时也让教他们的老师（高年级的学生）受益。
19.C　根据上文to be reading tutors for elementary school students可知，此处指华盛顿特区公立学校三分之二的学生在上高中时，不具备与年级水平相对应的阅读或写作能力。
20.B　破折号后的by giving them the tools to teach younger kids解释说明其前的内容，因此，Reach帮助这些高年级学生成为更好的阅读者。这里体现的是“教学相长”的思想，即教别人的同时也提升了自己。
21.C　根据上文trains high school ...to be reading tutors for elementary school students可知，很显然，这里的教师项目是将低年级和高年级学生进行配对。
22.A　根据该空后的But most以及接下来介绍Reach的不同做法可知，类似这种配对的教师项目很常见。
23.C　下文Most of the teenage tutors ...reading between the fourth-and sixth-grade level.是解答本题的关键信息，同类项目中的青少年教师都成绩优秀，而Reach开展的这个项目中，所选的青少年教师本身阅读水平并不高，因此四个选项中只有high-achieving与之构成对比，符合语境。
24.A　冒号后的内容具体介绍Reach的做法。turn sth on its head意为“颠倒某事物预期的顺序”。
25.D　根据上文this work、a tutoring program、Tutoring programs可知，此处指这个教师项目。
26.B　根据tutors和training并结合上文trains high school ...可知，这些教师都是高中生，且阅读水平并不是很高，因此他们要接受读写能力指导的培训。
27.A　根据下文role models可知，这些教师被定位为榜样。

　　The topic “slash youth”， referring to those refusing to be defined or bound by just one personal identity and choosing to undertake multiple careers， has fueled heated debate on social media.On Douban， a Chinese social networking platform， the topic has attracted about 11，000 posts and has been viewed over 400 million times.China’s young people are keen to share their slash youth stories online， presenting themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities， such as a nurse and model， a teacher and stand-up comedian， and an engineer and musician.
　　Xing Eryang， a 31-year-old female resident in Beijing， founded the Douban topic in 2021.While staying diligent about her daytime work， she is developing her hobbies， including stand-up comedy and vlogging， into secondary careers during her spare time.And she is amazed to find her “slash life” philosophy followed by so many of her peers.
　　Weiheng， a 26-year-old woman in Guangzhou， and Tang Yuhan， a 27-year-old man in Xuancheng City， Anhui Province， are both participants in the topic， with their stories earning thousands of likes so far.The two are both musicians in their spare time， even though they are thousands of miles apart and have different jobs in media and finance.Their passion for music has grown since college and they didn’t abandon their enthusiasm， even after entering the workplace.
　　Others’ reaction showed the gap between the young and former generations.“My parents used to say，‘music cannot earn you money，’ so the band thing was regarded as a waste of time.However， we want to pursue whatever we love and are willing to pay for it，” says Weiheng.
　　“The ‘slash life’ mania （狂热） shows that， along with China’s economic development， our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive， and it welcomes everyone’s self-fulfillment，” says Shi Yanrong， an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences.“Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth.They tend to practice a carpe diem （活在当下） philosophy and create their own identities.”

　　On the other hand， soft skills are harder to define.And they can’t be defined.And they can’t be measured.Soft skills cover a wide range of characteristics that you can work on for a lifetime but some of the most common and most necessary for success include being a good listener and speaker， a wise leader， a problem solver， a strong communicator or a team player.It’s also helpful if you can accept feedback， handle conflicts with others， deal with difficult people or be flexible.These soft skills are what many employers desire.
　　 Soft skills benefit you in many ways.Being a good listener， for example， is very helpful if you’re a doctor.Being flexible， a team player and a problem solver helps you succeed when dealing with deadlines.
　　Soft skills are something extra that help a particular person to succeed.Being able to show you possess them could make a difference in landing a job you’ll love， or being more successful in the job you already have.They make the difference between someone who is just OK at their job and someone who is outstanding， the person you always want on your team.Generally speaking， soft skills make you more likable and more competent.
　　Soft skills are what can set people apart from each other on resumes or in job interviews， but soft skills don’t come naturally.

　　Catherine Gallo， 20， couldn’t believe it when a fellow student at Hofstra University told her she had gotten a stylish jacket for free from a new on-campus shop in Hempstead.
　　Gallo and her friend got their clothes from Hofstra’s Career Closet shop， which makes donated new and gently used professional clothing available free for its students， who can “shop” by appointment for clothing for job interviews and career fairs.Operated by the Center for Career Design and Development， the Career Closet is in the Campus Living and Wellness Center.So far， it has provided more than 1，500 students with items for their own closets.
　　Career Closets aim to address the need for students on limited budgets to have professional clothing， and they’re springing up at colleges nationwide including University of Washington and Boston College.Fashions such as suits， ties， shoes， handbags and more are raised from Hofstra employees and the Center for Career Design and Development’s corporate partners， including accounting and consulting firms such as Baker Tilly and Crowe.
　　“It’s a great way to build up my closet，” says Margaret Sykes， 19， a new college student from University of Massachusetts majoring in film-making.“I’m glad Hofstra is providing this service because clothing is expensive now and a lot of people don’t have money to get business clothing.” She adds，“I have mostly jeans and T-shirts， so I got a few business suits.I need something that looks professional when I go out on a shoot to interview an important figure such as the president of Hofstra University.”
　　Career center director Michelle Kyriakides says the shop’s concept is something she had in mind for many years as a “personal goal”， even before she heard of it becoming a trend at other schools.“So much of an employer’s decision about career readiness depends on how the applicants present themselves， so we want to help our students feel confident，” Kyriakides says.
12.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “stylish” in the first paragraph？（　　）
A.elegant B.typical
C.precious D.creative
13.What’s the purpose of Career Closets？（　　）
A.To raise money for poor students.
B.To provide students with part-time jobs.
C.To meet students’ needs for fashionable clothes.
D.To help students with limited money get business suits.
14.What’s Margaret Sykes’ attitude towards Career Closets？（　　）
A.Unclear. B.Supportive.
C.Concerned. D.Passive.
15.What is the best title for the text？（　　）
A.A Shopping Center in Hempstead
B.Campus Life at Hofstra University
C.Career Closets， New On-campus Stores
D.A Center for Career Design and Development

　　When it comes to hobbies and careers， all of us have our own stories.As a little girl， my favourite thing to do was reading — the same as today.So I figured I’d be a librarian when I grew up.16.（　　） The library had a two-book limit， but she knew I’d blow through those in just a few days， so she always let me check out a big stack.
　　Time passed quickly and I was in fourth grade.Our school librarian， Mrs Ketelsen， sent some poems I’d written about dinosaurs to the Highlights magazine.17.（　　）
　　At university， though majoring in journalism， I quickly learnt that I did not want to be a newspaper reporter.18.（　　） It amuses almost everyone who knows me and thinks I’m outgoing.（I am， but only with people I know！） So I was thrilled when I was selected for a summer internship at Reader’s Digest.
　　Ten years after that， I came back to Reader’s Digest to work as an editor.19.（　　） I’ve worked at other magazines too， but I’ve spent most of my career here， reading magazines， newspapers， websites， and books for stories we could condense （简缩）， writing articles and even choosing jokes.
　　20.（　　） “The Tractor War” takes me home to the Midwest.“Something to Sneeze At” reminds me of all the sneezing I did when I moved to New York City and was suddenly allergic to grasses and trees ...I relate to lots of our stories this month， and I hope you do too.Enjoy！
A.It was a long road home.
B.I lost my interest in it soon.
C.My first published writing！
D.I’m shy about interviewing people.
E.My dream of becoming a librarian encouraged me.
F.The stories in this issue seem to introduce myself to you.
G.Our town librarian， Mrs T nne， was really important to me becoming me now.

　　Susan had worked for the same company for a long time.She was smart， worked hard and was good at mentoring （指导） others to help them develop their skills and careers.Then， she was unexpectedly restructured into a different job.Susan reached out to me a few weeks into her new role as she wrestled with the change.She was worried that she wasn’t learning the new skills needed fast enough and that she was letting her team down， to the point where she feared her role could be at risk.
　　Given Susan’s fears， we decided we needed to start big and tackle her fear head-on with new exposure opportunities.So we set Susan a huge challenge to deliberately （故意地） step out of her comfort zone and embrace a beginner’s mindset.This meant finding new hobbies outside of work that she wasn’t confident she would be able to master and stick with.
　　Susan took up sewing.She was a novice （新手） and had to watch plenty of videos online to figure out how to do anything.Taking on a beginner’s mindset helped her to enjoy what it feels like to learn， rather than fall into frustration （受挫）.She also practised how it feels to accept mistakes.It hasn’t been a smooth path — Susan recalled with humour the times that she wanted to throw a tantrum as it all felt too hard.To her credit though， she continues to sew.
　　My next experiment was to see how she might take this mindset into her new role.For this， I coached Susan to let her colleagues know she was feeling anxious about her performance and ask for feedback.Collecting quality feedback from her colleagues helped Susan to take baby steps and progress， while easing her fears of losing her job any time soon.
　　At our last conversation， Susan described herself as a beginner’s mind “novice”； learning still isn’t comfortable for her but it is helping her understand that she can take a different approach.Most importantly， she’s more open than ever towards trying new things.
1.What happened to Susan when she contacted the author？（　　）
A.She entered a new company.
B.She worked hard to adapt to her new job.
C.There was a tension between her and her team.
D.There would be a structural change in her company.
2.What did the author and Susan decide to do in response to Susan’s issue？（　　）
A.Relieve her work stress.
B.Change priorities in her life.
C.Introduce her to new things.
D.Improve her work efficiency.
3.What does the underlined part “throw a tantrum” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean？（　　）
A.Work out details. B.Ask for feedback.
C.Raise questions. D.Get angry.
4.Which of the following was Susan’s change after the author’s “next experiment”？（　　）
A.She became faster at learning new skills.
B.She became less worried about losing her job.
C.She became more unwilling to take on challenges.
D.She became skilled at practising her beginner’s mind.

　　Wind energy provided 7％ of the total electricity in the United States in 2019.Since 2008， the use of coal-fired power plants has declined， as the use of renewable energy and natural gas has increased.Wind energy is an excellent way to reduce carbon emissions， but what happens when the wind turbine blades （涡轮机叶片） wear out？ Is there a waste management issue？
　　The design life of wind turbines is about 20 to 25 years.The longest wind turbine blade to date is 350 feet， almost the length of a football field.Although certain parts of wind turbines can be relatively easily recycled， others are not designed for recyclability.In particular， wind turbine blades present the biggest waste management challenge.Many spent turbine blades are piling up in landfills.However， researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory （NREL） are making progress in this area.
　　They developed a blade out of thermoplastic resin （热塑性树脂） that is low-cost， lightweight， and seems to be recyclable.If the new blade also proves to be strong， this could be a game changer for the offshore and onshore wind industry.Lower costs could also help improve wind energy efficiency， reducing the use of fossil fuels.A lightweight blade is easier to transport and uses less fuel.It also seems easier to recycle and uses less energy in the production process.“With the traditional material， it’s almost like when you fry an egg.It’s finished and you can’t undo that，” said Derek Berry， a senior engineer at NREL.“But with a thermoplastic resin system， you can make a blade out of it.You heat it to a certain temperature， and it melts back down.You can get the liquid resin back and reuse that.”
　　Although the research looks promising， progress will be slow.Most wind farms being constructed today will stop working in a few decades.The benefits of recyclable blades are still decades away at best.The associated environmental impact has largely been a blind spot for the industry.Hopefully， recent progress will help make wind power even greener.
5.What is one disadvantage of the current wind turbine blade？（　　）
A.Its vast size.
B.Its short life.
C.Its negative impact on the environment.
D.Its inefficiency in producing electricity.
6.What do Derek’s words mainly show？（　　）
A.Why thermoplastic resin is strong.
B.How thermoplastic resin is recycled.
C.The popularity of thermoplastic resin.
D.The production process of thermoplastic resin.
7.What is the author’s attitude to the future of wind energy？（　　）
A.Contradictory. B.Carefree.
C.Doubtful. D.Optimistic.
8.What is the text mainly about？（　　）
A.A new way to develop turbine blades.
B.A fresh approach to using wind power.
C.An unknown renewable energy source.
D.The urge to tear down old turbine blades.

　　There are as many kinds of careers as there are people. They vary greatly in the types of work involved and in the ways they influence a person’s life.The kind of career you have can affect your life in many ways.By making wise decisions concerning your career， you can help yourself build the life you want.To do that， you need as much information as possible.The more you know about yourself， the better you will be able to choose a satisfying career.
　　What do people hope to obtain from a career？ Some people desire a high income.Some hope for fame.Others seek for adventure.Still， others intend to serve people and make the world a better place.Before you begin to explore career fields， you should determine your values， your interests， and your aptitudes that will make you competent in your future work.Most people are happiest with jobs that fit their values， interests， and skills.Each person has many values， which vary in strength.For example， money is of the greatest value for some people — that is， wealth is more important to them than anything else.As a result， they focus their thoughts， behaviour， and emotions on the goal of earning a high income.Other values include devoting themselves to religion， taking risks， spending time with family， and helping others.
　　Before making a career decision， you can ask yourself what is the most important to you and examine your belief to better know your values.For example， is it important for you to work as a member of a team？ Or would you rather be in charge or work alone？ If working alone or being in charge is important to you， independence is probably one of your primary values.
9.How can we make a wise career decision？（　　）
A.By learning more about ourselves.
B.By sticking to our belief more firmly.
C.By changing our interests more often.
D.By finding more career opportunities.
10.What does the underlined word “aptitudes” in Paragraph 2 mean？（　　）
A.Experiences. B.Abilities.
C.Feelings. D.Families.
11.According to the writer， a satisfying career is the one that 　　　　.（　　）
A.brings huge wealth
B.meets inner demands
C.develops interests and skills
D.contributes to forming values
12.What does the writer convey to us in the last paragraph？（　　）
A.The contents of our values.
B.The foundations of our values.
C.The places to achieve our values.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape （风景） can be quite a challenge， mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
　　Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar， either farm fields or highways， sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes.To make some of my landscape shots， I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame.I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
　　Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography.I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph.I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.
　　One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake， Wisconsin， to climb the purple quartz （石英） rock around the lake.After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks， we decided to photograph the scene at sunset.The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background.We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset.However， we did not mark the route （路线） so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely.Once we found the place， it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time.Still， looking back on the photos， they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
1.How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest？（　　）
A.By teaming up with other photographers.
B.By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
C.By studying the geographical conditions.
D.By creating settings in the corn fields.
2.What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author？（　　）
A.Proper time management.
B.Good shooting techniques.
C.Adventurous spirit.
D.Distinctive styles.
3.What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake？（　　）
A.They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
B.They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.
C.They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
D.They had problems with their equipment.
4.How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake？（　　）
A.Amusing. B.Satisfying.
C.Encouraging. D.Comforting.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　When you’ve got too much to do， the natural response is to try to fit in more tasks， in order to free up hours to do the things you love.
　　There are countless books promising to help you， but these attempts don’t always work.5.（　　）
　　The core problem is that the potential supply of new tasks is endless.Get faster at completing work projects and you’ll simply be given more work， thanks to your reputation as an efficient employee.It’s the personal equivalent of what happens when a new lane is added to a motorway to ease traffic jams.6.（　　） So congestion （拥堵） remains as bad as it ever was.
　　7.（　　） Social expectations do， too.Research by historian Ruth Cowan highlights that when washing machines and vacuum cleaners （吸尘器） were introduced， housework got more burdensome because standards of cleanliness also rose.Deep down， we believe the false promise of ever more efficiency.Yes， modest improvements in productivity can help you get through more work — but the truth is that there will always be more things worth doing than time in which to do them.8.（　　）
　　The option you take is up to you： perhaps you’ll decide to tolerate a messy house in order to spend more time reading to your children.Or perhaps you’re willing to sacrifice a reputation as the best worker in your office because your side business as a jewellery designer is worth it. 9.（　　） Otherwise， it’ll get made for you — and you may find yourself replying to emails at 11：30 pm on a Friday night.
A.So tough choices are always ahead.
B.The extra capacity just attracts more cars.
C.What matters is making the choice consciously.
D.It’s not just work that mounts up as efficiency rises.
E.Get quicker at answering emails， and you’ll get more of them.
F.Instead， the more you struggle to “get on top of things”， the busier you find yourself.
G.If you want to spend more time with your children， you have to do everything else more efficiently.

　　I put one last box into the back seat and closed the car door.It felt as if I were closing the door on my whole life.At first， I was excited when Mom told me she’d gotten a fantastic new job at an animal hospital.Then， because she always saves the bad news for last， she told me the really terrible part.The hospital wasn’t in our city； it was miles away in the middle of nowhere.And I’m definitely not a country girl.
　　I stood beside the car， taking a last look at our building.To most people， it probably just looked like any other old apartment house， but I loved every brick.Just then， I saw my best friends， Hana and Leo， come to see me off.While Hana played a cool riff （重复乐段） on her trumpet （小号）， Leo sang， “We will miss you， Celia.” I hugged them tightly and jumped into the car fast so no one could see me tear up.As Mom pulled away， I waved goodbye to my friends， my neighbourhood， and my life.
　　We rode a while in silence， and I held my violin case for comfort.Leo， Hana， and I had been writing songs for our band， but that was all over now.“Don’t think of this as an ending，” Mom said， with her knack （技能） for reading my mind.“It’s an exciting beginning.It’s normal to be a bit anxious about unfamiliar things， but you don’t need to be afraid of them.” I kept silent and looked out the window as crowded， exciting city streets turned first into tasteless suburban shopping strips and then into endless， boring trees and fields of corn.We finally arrived at our new home， a two-story wooden farmhouse.Mom said I could go explore.Mom never let me go out alone in the city， so maybe a bit more freedom would be one consolation （慰藉） of living here.

　　Born in New York in 1918， scientist Gertrude B.Elion had an impressive career， during which she developed medicines to treat many major diseases.Elion spent her early youth in Manhattan.She attended senior high school and had， in her words， an unbelievable thirst for knowledge.
　　Motivated by the death of her grandfather， who died of cancer， Elion entered Hunter College at the age of 15 and graduated in chemistry at the age of 19.She had difficulty finding employment after graduation because many laboratories refused to hire women chemists.She found a part-time job as a lab assistant and went back to school at New York University.Elion worked as a high school teacher for a few years after finishing work on her master’s degree.
　　The start of World War Ⅱ created more opportunities for women.At the age of 26， Elion was able to get a job at Burroughs Wellcome & Company， where she began a 40-year partnership with Dr George H.Hitchings.Her thirst for knowledge impressed Dr Hitchings， and he permitted her to take on more responsibility.
　　Elion and Hitchings set out on a course of creating medicines by studying the chemical composition of diseased cells.Rather than relying on old trial-and-error methods， they used the differences in biochemistry between normal human cells and pathogens （病原体） to design medicines.In all， Elion obtained 45 patents on medicine and was awarded 23 honorary degrees.
　　In 1988， Elion received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine， together with George H.Hitchings and Sir James W.Black.She received other awards for her work， including the National Medal of Science in 1991， and that same year， she became the first woman to be inducted （使正式加入） into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.In 1997， she was awarded the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award.

　　Born on her family’s farm in Ray， North Dakota， Mary Sherman Morgan had been helping her father with farm work before she could attend the small town’s schoolhouse.Being a few years behind didn’t hold her back and she graduated from high school with honours.Aware of her intelligence， she ran away from Ray to attend Minot State University as a chemistry major， where her skill was evident.
　　The outbreak of World War Ⅱ resulted in a national shortage of chemists and scientists.In spite of the fact that she was still a student and a woman， she was offered a job as a chemical analyst due to her talents， producing explosives （爆炸物） for the wartime effort.She put her degree on hold and moved to Ohio， taking on the dangerous job of analyzing unstable chemicals to produce weapons.
　　After the war ended there was a fall in demand for explosives， so she made a move to the field of aeronautics， moving to California to work for NAA （North American Aviation）.The only woman out of 900 engineers， she was soon promoted to a role which involved calculating the performance of rocket propellants （推进剂） and designing speciality fuels to work with different engines.However， never having returned to complete her degree， she was not afforded the rank or higher pay of an engineer， even though she had all the skills and knowledge of one.
　　Her experience with propellants meant that when NAA was tasked with finding a fuel capable of lifting the redesigned Redstone missiles into space， Morgan was appointed the technical leader on the project.National pride was on the line， so Morgan set about investigating fuels.After countless trials， she finally designed her own mixture， which was named Hydyne.
　　Hydyne was tested well with the Redstone missiles and subsequently other aircraft （航空器）， such as Jupiter-C rockets， proving to be a quick solution to getting to space without a total rocket redesign.The fuel made the first successful US satellite launch possible， even if Morgan silently slipped away from her success， retiring to focus on her family and leaving her chemistry career behind.
