二、完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
I used to hate running. It seemed too hard, and expanding my comfort zone (扩大舒适区) was not something I like. In fact, I wouldn’t have become a runner if it weren’t for my husband Charles.

So he picked it up again, and after about a year, I started to 13 him at the track. Just a few weeks later, Charles signed us 14 up for a five-kilometer race.

After another minute I saw the three-kilometer 21 . “Painful” couldn’t 22 describe how I felt. And there was pain, so much pain.

I knew that if I actually 27 this race I would have achieved something. So, I 28 up and went on.

or lose important documents. This checklist
will help ensure that you have everything you need for a smooth journey.
$100 worth of local currency.

When I was in the third grade, we had a hunt at school. We gathered up chalk, pencils, stones, and so on, rapidly filling our checklists. It was a very close race. I was out of breath when I reached the clover (三叶草) patch in search of the last, most hard-to-find item: a four-leaf clover.
I was pretty sure that I was going to win. I have always been able to find four-leaf clovers. I just see them.
I spent my childhood collecting and pressing four-leaf clovers into books at my mother’s house. I started with big cloth- and leather-bound books. When I ran out of romantically bound volumes, I began to put my treasures into anything I could find: fiction paperbacks, cookbooks. The same is true in my house today. Shake a book, and a papery treasure just might fall into your hand.
A few years ago, in Nova Scotia, my husband and I pulled off the road for a picnic. The ground was thick with clover. Some shoots had four, five, even six leaves. I lined them up on the picnic table to admire as my husband, never yet having found one four-leaf clover, looked on with awe. To me, it was simple. The differences in their shapes popped out, breaking the pretty pattern of the conventional clovers with their three perfect leaves.
Two summers back, while waiting for an airport shuttle in Munich, I found a tiny four-leaf clover in a traffic circle and put it into my passport. On the way home, my husband and I were upgraded to business class. Friends attributed our good luck to the clover. I think it’s more likely that we were upgraded because a kind customer service officer took pity on us.
People disagree about whether the luck lies in the finding or in the possession of a clover. Some believe that the luck is lost if the four-leaf clover is even shown to somebody else, while others think the luck doubles if it is given away. I believe that positivity is increased by sharing. I feel lucky to find the clovers so often, but I don’t think they influence my life any more than it does to share anything a little special --- that momentary closeness between you and a friend or a stranger, as you all lean in to wonder at a rare find.
33. Why can the author notice four-leaf clovers so easily?
A. She always has good luck. B. She has a special gift for plants.
C. She practiced a lot in her childhood. D. She can tell the pattern differences.
34. How does the author deal with her four-leaf clovers?
A. She often gives them away. B. She leaves them everywhere.
C. She treats them with special love. D. She admires them with her husband.
35. How does the author understand luck and clovers?
A. Closeness brought by clovers really counts.
B. Clovers will influence one’s good luck a lot.
C. Good luck means finding or owning a clover.
D. Good luck may double if you give clovers away.
36. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Hunting clovers B. Sharing clovers C. Not for luck D. Just for luck
C
“Helicopter parent” may not sound pleasant, but given the chance, most parents would probably prefer a vehicle to zoom (快速移动) little ones between school, football practice and piano lessons. Getting children where they need to go is a huge task and expense, especially in homes where both parents work. Hailing rides ( 专车服务) through firms like Uber and Lyft has made life more convenient for adults. But drivers are not supposed to pick up kids who travels without an adult aside (although some are known to bend the rules).
Children represent a f res h -f aced opportunity . Ride-hailing for kids could be a market worth at least $50bn in America, hopes Ritu Narayan, the founder of Zum, one of the startups in want of the prize. These services are similar to Uber’s, except they allow parents to schedule rides for their children in advance. Children are given a code word to ensure they find the right driver, and parents receive warnings about the pick-up and ride, including the car’s speed. These services promise more careful background checks, finger printing and training than typical ride-hailing companies.
Annette Yolas, who works in sales at AT&T, says that she spends around $200 a month on Hop Skip Drive, a service that operates in several markets in California, for her three kids to get to the school bus on time and to ballet practice. She says it has been a “life-saver” by allowing her to work longer hours. Meanwhile, kids avoid the embarrassment of a relative pulling up at school. But ride- hailing firms for kids may end up like the children in Neverland, and never fully grown. They face several challenges. One is finding enough drivers. All users need rides during the same limited set of hours: before and after school, which makes it hard to offer drivers enough work. It can also be challenging to persuade parents, who have drilled it into children never to get in a stranger’s car.
And while ride-sharing companies can annoy adult passengers by cancelling or being late, such behaviour can be a disaster. Shuddle, an early entrant in the taxis-for-kids business, which shut down in 2016, had only two out of five stars on Yelp (点评网站) for that reason, and lots of negative reviews from parents. It had made money on rides mainly by raising prices ever higher.
Shuddle’s failure has not discouraged Uber itself, which is expected soon to launch a pilot programme for teenagers under 18. Parents may be happier to use services they are familiar with. But Uber’s entrance is likely to add to the struggle of child-focused ride-hailing businesses as they compete for customers and new funds.
37. What does the underlined phrase “a fresh-faced opportunity” refer to?
A. A new market. B. A new company. C. A new service. D. A new challenge.
38. What is the purpose of the example of Annette Yolas?
A. To show the need of the working parents.
B. To show the benefits of the ride-hailing service.
C. To persuade more drivers into business.
D. To persuade more parents to avoid the service.
39. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Drivers have to work all day long to meet parents’ needs.
B. Some parents are not willing to put their kids into strangers’ cars.
C. Small firms are not qualified enough to operate the service for kids.
D. Typical ride-hailing companies seldom check the background of their drivers.
40. What may be the future of those small ride-hailing firms?
A. They may make a fortune. B. They may easily get more funds.
C. They may struggle to survive. D. They may get better reviews.

Every week for the past thirty years, I have hosted a Sunday dinner in my home. People, including total strangers, call or e-mail to book a spot. I hold the salon in my studio. The first fifty people who call may come --- twice that many when the weather is nice and we can overflow into the garden.
41 . Last week it was a philosophy student from Lisbon, and next week a dear friend from London will cook.
People from all corners of the world come to break bread together, to meet to talk, and often to become friends. All ages, nationalities, races, and professions gather here, and since there is no organized seating, the opportunity for connecting couldn’t be better. I love the randomness (随意).
I have a good memory, so each week I make a point to remember everyone’s name on the guest list and where they’re from so I can introduce them to one another. If I had my way, I would introduce everyone in the whole world to one another.
42 . Many travelers go to see things like the Tower of London, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and so on. I travel to see friends, even --- or especially --- those I’ve never met.
In the late 1980s, I edited a series of guidebooks to different countries.
43 . Instead, each
book contained about a thousand biographies of people who would be willing to welcome travelers in
their cities. Hundreds of friendships evolved from these encounters, including marriages and babies.
The same can be said for my salon. At a recent dinner a six-year-old girl from Bosnia spent the entire evening glued to an eight-year-old boy from Estonia. Their parents were surprised, and pleased, by this immediate friendship.
44 . Most of them speak English, at least as a second language. Recently a dinner featured a typical mix: a beautiful painter from Norway, a truck driver from Arizona, a newspaper editor from Sydney and students from all over.
It is unnecessary to understand others; one must, at the very least, simply tolerate others.
45 . No one can ever really understand anyone else, but you can love them or at least accept them.
I am a world citizen. All human history is mine. My roots cover the earth. We should know each other. Okay, now come and dine.
I believe in introducing people to people.
People are the most important thing in my life.
There were no sights to see, no shops or museums to visit.
Tolerance can lead to respect and, finally, to love.
After all, our lives are all connected.
Every Sunday a different friend prepares a feast.
There is always a collection of people throughout the world.

I want to talk about something that has annoy me for a long time. I live near Dongtai Baisheng Square, which was used to be a peaceful place. But things have changed until last summer. Each evening several square dance teams, who are mainly made up of women, come to the square and dance. I try to tolerate them, and they broadcast music so noisy that I can’t focus on my studying. Aren’t they informed the harm they do to others? Do they have the freedom to do what they want in public places to enjoy them? I insist the government do something value and helpful and take some measure to stop them from disturbing others.
