A
After four silent years, the 27-year-old British singer Adele Adkins has finally introduced herself to the world again with Hello, the opening song from her third album 25, which will come out on Nov 20.
Although Adele is a very s the successful singer now, music wasn’t always what she saw herself doing. At age 10, when she saw her grandmother’s pain over the death of Adele’s grandfather, she pictured herself as a heart surgeon.
“I wanted to fix people’s hearts,” she told the UK music website i-D, remembering the childhood interest she’d had in biology classes until she found out that her real talent was for singing.
Adele didn’t go to medical school, but many would agree that she still has healing （治愈）powers. “Her songs find the kind of memory every listener holds somewhere in their heart. This kind of feeling is what people have always liked in Adele,” said the telegraph. “She writes a pop diary, sharing the simple secrets of her heart.”
Most successful pop stars make albums at a fast pace, but not Adele. After her second album 21 won the 2012 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, she made it clear with her label that she would spend “four or five years” making her next album. She told Vogue magazine, “I won’t come out with new music until it’s better that 21.”
Instead of seeking fame, Adele remained silent and moved to the countryside. In her free time, she loved to watch TV series Teen Mom, American Horror Story, and The Walking Dead.
Living life as normally as possible is important to the singer’s art. “Nobody wants to listen to a record from someone who’s not living in the real world, ” Adele told the i-D. “So I live a low-key life for my fans.”
21. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. The popularity of Adele’s album 25.
B. The healing powers of Adele’s music.
C. The secrets of Adele’s success in music.
D. The reason for Adele’s becoming a singer.
22. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Adele wasn’t interested in music.
B. Adele wasn’t good at music at first.
C. Music wasn’t very important in Adele’s life.
D. Music wasn’t all Adele wanted to be devoted to.
23. Why doesn’t Adele want to make albums at a fast pace?
A. To live a low-key life.
B. To win the Grammy Award.
C. To guarantee the quality of her music.
D. To share the secrets of her heart as a musician.
24. What can we know about Adele?
A. Her album Hello will come out Nov. 20.
B. She has kept a diary since childhood.
C. She moved to the countryside before 2012.
D. Her works are based on real life.
B
Many managers believe that overworking?is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side. Still few others regard this custom as a threat to the workers’ work-life balance, which may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency.
Employees at Amsterdam design studio Heldergroen won’t be putting in much overtime. Not in the office, at any rate. That’s because every day at 6:00 pm, their desks, tables and other work surfaces, with their computers attached, are lifted to the ceiling by steel cables （绳索）normally used to move heavy props（道具）in theatrical productions. If you leave a half-eaten sandwich on your desk, you’re out of luck.
“Once the chairs and other workplace paraphernalia are cleared away, the space is free for evening and weekend use as a dance floor, yoga studio ... or anything else you can think of – the floor is actually yours, ” doctor Sander Veenendaal said.
In a way, the office space itself is working overtime for Heldergroen, bringing about lots of publicity and carrying an enlightened（有启发的）message of career-life balance far and wide.”We think that doing activities like this makes it easier for people to work here,” says Veenendaal. “You know when it is time to relax or do something else that inspires you.”
That sounds awesome. There’s just one catch. In the morning, the desks reappear and everybody has to go back to work.
25. What can we learn about the employees at Heldergroen?
A. They are unwilling to work late
B. They are discouraged from working overtime
C. They are persuaded to leave the office earlier
D. They are to put away their computers after work
26. What does the underlined word “paraphernalia” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Props. B. Food. C. Equipment. D. Cables.
27. What does the author think of the Heldergroen’s office design?
A. Creative. B. Inconvenient C. Ordinary D. Strange
C
The Spanish people have their own dining schedule which is very different from most countries. Breakfast in the Spanish culture is easily the least important meal of the day, the first thing occurring in the morning until about 10:00 am. Many Spaniards(西班牙人) skip breakfast but if they do have breakfast, it will likely be something light and simple which may consist of coffee, hot chocolate or fresh-squeezed orange juice accompanied by a piece of toast with jam. After such a light breakfast, from around 10:30 am to noon, bars are full of workers for their morning coffee breaks, who enjoy a drink and a small snack to help survive until lunch time.
Lunch, the most important meal of the day, generally consists of several courses with a light first course such as soup or salad, a heavier second course of meat or fish, fruit or dessert, followed by bread and also wine and water.
Lunch and the famous nap time occur from 2 pm until 4 pm. Most shops and companies close during this time to allow their workers to make their way home to eat. Although this pause still exists, the famous nap time is rarely used for sleeping but rather transportation as people gradually live farther and farther away from their workplaces.
Due to this lunch break, many workers do not leave their work until about 8 pm. Typically, this is when they will have a small snack to get them through until dinner time. Dinner, similar to lunch but usually lighter, is a late affair in Spain which is normally served from 9 pm to 10:30 pm. In the summer time it is common to see Spaniards sitting down to eat as late as 12 pm!
28. Which is usually served after soup at lunch?
A. A glass of juice B. A piece of steak
C. A cup of wine D. A plate of salad
29. When do most shops and companies keep open after lunch in Spain?
A. From 2 pm to 4 pm B. From9 pm to 12 pm
C. From 2 pm to 9 pm D. From 4 pm to 8 pm
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. Spaniards are too busy to have breakfast.
B. Spaniards think their lunch the most important.
C. Spaniards usually finish their work at 9 pm.
D. Spaniards usually have a nap for 2 hours.
31. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Unique Dining Customs in Spain B. Foods Served at Meals in Spain
C. A Busy Workday of the Spanish D. Comfortable Life of the Spanish
D
On April 12th, two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and sat down to wait for their friend．Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave．When the two men refused, the employee called the police, and in minutes, they were arrested．It was not until later that day that they were let go．
The video of this incident posted on Twitter went viral．People across the US were outraged．Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today．This incident is just one example of implicit bias(内隐偏见), something that is a part of human nature．
Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a different race．Starting from a young age, these feelings develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences．
Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society．There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago．Implicit bias affects the justice system, our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken seriously, and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities．
Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an anti-bias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks stores will be closed on that day．However, critics and experts have said that such training is done "for show" rather than to promote change．
To address this issue, many experts agree that what the world needs is a long-term program that targets the root cause．It also starts with promoting diversity in children from an early age when they have friends and playmates from different races and cultures．
32．What does the underlined word "outraged" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Very delighted． B．Quite curious． C．Very angry． D．Quite puzzled．
33．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A．The nature of implicit bias． B．The negative effects of implicit bias．
C．The basic concepts of implicit bias． D．The examples of implicit bias．
34．What might experts think of the anti-bias training meeting?
A．lt will be a meaningless practice． B．It will be a shame for Starbucks
C．It will raise the police's reputation． D. lt will raise public awareness of anti-bias．
35．What might many experts agree with?
A．Starbucks should be closed．
B．Implicit bias should be ignored．
C．Children should be taught to avoid implicit bias．
D．Implicit bias should be dealt with by the policemen．

It was 8 a.m. Kathy, a 25-year-old nurse, had just finished a 12-hour night shifts at a hospital. She was tired, but glad to be sailing along highway to where she lived. Although the local government had posted a snow alert(预警), the calm grey sky convinced Kathy the drive would be safe.? “I figured I’d be in bed in an hour,” she says.
Snow began when she was halfway home. Listening to the radio, Kathy learned the highway was closed because a tractor had slid off the road. She texted some friends and her mom, and tried not to sleep as she waited.
After a couple of hours, however, conditions worsened. Strong winds began rocking Kathy’s car. She couldn’t see anything outside, and snow was drifting up her doors. It was, she says,? “a total whiteout and rows of cars and trucks.”
Late in the afternoon a police officer came and asked if she was in any difficulty. She said she was fine. She asked the police officer if there was any way to get past the trucks.? “No, ma’am,” he answered.? “You’re not going anywhere.”
Once as it got dark, Kathy began to worry. She texted his brother Cris, telling him to drive snowmobiling buddy(雪地汽车) to get to the highway and find her.
As Cris rode slowly alongside the rows of cars and trucks, people would roll down their windows and ask for help. “I was the first person they’d seen in six hours.” He explained he was picking up his sister. He told them, “Nobody’s coming and I can’t take you.”
Near 10 p.m. Cris reached Kathy. He directed Kathy to pull her car onto the shoulder(紧急停车带) and asked her to get into his snowmobiling buddy.
As they headed for home, the fun started. About five kilometres into the journey, Cris made a mistake. What he thought was a shallow ditch(浅沟) turned out to be a deep trough(水槽). Instead of coming out the other side, they just kept going down. They were trapped. And feathery snow was over their heads.

Paragraph 1:
At that moment, they had to take action and get out. They shouted at the top of their voice, but no one could hear them. They began to worry and were convinced they had to stay in their snowmobiling buddy for the night. Suddenly, a good idea occurred to Kathy. She took off one of her clothes and burned it. Seeing the fire, people ran over and managed to pull her car out with all their efforts, making Cris ashamed for his refusal to others.
Paragraph 2:
When Kathy arrived at her home, her mother was waiting for her. She asked Kathy what had happened. Kathy explained, “I made a terrible mistake. But for others’ help, I couldn’t have been home for the night.” When asked what she would do when someone had difficulty, Kathy answered immediately that she would do anything to help others because today’s experience turned out to be a great lesson for her.

Many managers believe that overworking?is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side. Still few others regard this custom as a threat to the workers’ work-life balance, which may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency.
Employees at Amsterdam design studio Heldergroen won’t be putting in much overtime. Not in the office, at any rate. That’s because every day at 6:00 pm, their desks, tables and other work surfaces, with their computers attached, are lifted to the ceiling by steel cables （绳索）normally used to move heavy props（道具）in theatrical productions. If you leave a half-eaten sandwich on your desk, you’re out of luck.
“Once the chairs and other workplace paraphernalia are cleared away, the space is free for evening and weekend use as a dance floor, yoga studio ... or anything else you can think of – the floor is actually yours, ” doctor Sander Veenendaal said.
In a way, the office space itself is working overtime for Heldergroen, bringing about lots of publicity and carrying an enlightened（有启发的）message of career-life balance far and wide.”We think that doing activities like this makes it easier for people to work here,” says Veenendaal. “You know when it is time to relax or do something else that inspires you.”
That sounds awesome. There’s just one catch. In the morning, the desks reappear and everybody has to go back to work.
25. What can we learn about the employees at Heldergroen?
A. They are unwilling to work late
B. They are discouraged from working overtime
C. They are persuaded to leave the office earlier
D. They are to put away their computers after work
26. What does the underlined word “paraphernalia” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Props. B. Food. C. Equipment. D. Cables.
27. What does the author think of the Heldergroen’s office design?
A. Creative. B. Inconvenient C. Ordinary D. Strange
C
The Spanish people have their own dining schedule which is very different from most countries. Breakfast in the Spanish culture is easily the least important meal of the day, the first thing occurring in the morning until about 10:00 am. Many Spaniards(西班牙人) skip breakfast but if they do have breakfast, it will likely be something light and simple which may consist of coffee, hot chocolate or fresh-squeezed orange juice accompanied by a piece of toast with jam. After such a light breakfast, from around 10:30 am to noon, bars are full of workers for their morning coffee breaks, who enjoy a drink and a small snack to help survive until lunch time.
Lunch, the most important meal of the day, generally consists of several courses with a light first course such as soup or salad, a heavier second course of meat or fish, fruit or dessert, followed by bread and also wine and water.
Lunch and the famous nap time occur from 2 pm until 4 pm. Most shops and companies close during this time to allow their workers to make their way home to eat. Although this pause still exists, the famous nap time is rarely used for sleeping but rather transportation as people gradually live farther and farther away from their workplaces.
Due to this lunch break, many workers do not leave their work until about 8 pm. Typically, this is when they will have a small snack to get them through until dinner time. Dinner, similar to lunch but usually lighter, is a late affair in Spain which is normally served from 9 pm to 10:30 pm. In the summer time it is common to see Spaniards sitting down to eat as late as 12 pm!
28. Which is usually served after soup at lunch?
A. A glass of juice B. A piece of steak
C. A cup of wine D. A plate of salad
29. When do most shops and companies keep open after lunch in Spain?
A. From 2 pm to 4 pm B. From9 pm to 12 pm
C. From 2 pm to 9 pm D. From 4 pm to 8 pm
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. Spaniards are too busy to have breakfast.
B. Spaniards think their lunch the most important.
C. Spaniards usually finish their work at 9 pm.
D. Spaniards usually have a nap for 2 hours.
31. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Unique Dining Customs in Spain B. Foods Served at Meals in Spain
C. A Busy Workday of the Spanish D. Comfortable Life of the Spanish

On April 12th, two African American men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and sat down to wait for their friend．Because they had not bought anything, an employee asked them to leave．When the two men refused, the employee called the police, and in minutes, they were arrested．It was not until later that day that they were let go．
The video of this incident posted on Twitter went viral．People across the US were outraged．Unfortunately, these practices are not uncommon today．This incident is just one example of implicit bias(内隐偏见), something that is a part of human nature．
Most of the time, implicit bias refers to people showing negative associations towards people of a different race．Starting from a young age, these feelings develop unconsciously and naturally, because our brain draws associations based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences．
Implicit bias affects our everyday speech and actions and these unconscious decisions can be harmful to our society．There have been many examples of blacks unfairly killed by white officers, such as in the cases of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, which happened only two years ago．Implicit bias affects the justice system, our medical system where studies show minorities are less likely to be taken seriously, and job placements where white males are likely to be judged as more capable compared to women and other minorities．
Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson and the police have publicly apologized to the two men, and Starbucks will be holding an anti-bias training meeting on May 29th. All Starbucks stores will be closed on that day．However, critics and experts have said that such training is done "for show" rather than to promote change．
To address this issue, many experts agree that what the world needs is a long-term program that targets the root cause．It also starts with promoting diversity in children from an early age when they have friends and playmates from different races and cultures．
32．What does the underlined word "outraged" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Very delighted． B．Quite curious． C．Very angry． D．Quite puzzled．
33．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A．The nature of implicit bias． B．The negative effects of implicit bias．
C．The basic concepts of implicit bias． D．The examples of implicit bias．
34．What might experts think of the anti-bias training meeting?
A．lt will be a meaningless practice． B．It will be a shame for Starbucks
C．It will raise the police's reputation． D. lt will raise public awareness of anti-bias．
35．What might many experts agree with?
A．Starbucks should be closed．
B．Implicit bias should be ignored．
C．Children should be taught to avoid implicit bias．
D．Implicit bias should be dealt with by the policemen．

It was 8 a.m. Kathy, a 25-year-old nurse, had just finished a 12-hour night shifts at a hospital. She was tired, but glad to be sailing along highway to where she lived. Although the local government had posted a snow alert(预警), the calm grey sky convinced Kathy the drive would be safe.? “I figured I’d be in bed in an hour,” she says.
Snow began when she was halfway home. Listening to the radio, Kathy learned the highway was closed because a tractor had slid off the road. She texted some friends and her mom, and tried not to sleep as she waited.
After a couple of hours, however, conditions worsened. Strong winds began rocking Kathy’s car. She couldn’t see anything outside, and snow was drifting up her doors. It was, she says,? “a total whiteout and rows of cars and trucks.”
Late in the afternoon a police officer came and asked if she was in any difficulty. She said she was fine. She asked the police officer if there was any way to get past the trucks.? “No, ma’am,” he answered.? “You’re not going anywhere.”
Once as it got dark, Kathy began to worry. She texted his brother Cris, telling him to drive snowmobiling buddy(雪地汽车) to get to the highway and find her.
As Cris rode slowly alongside the rows of cars and trucks, people would roll down their windows and ask for help. “I was the first person they’d seen in six hours.” He explained he was picking up his sister. He told them, “Nobody’s coming and I can’t take you.”
Near 10 p.m. Cris reached Kathy. He directed Kathy to pull her car onto the shoulder(紧急停车带) and asked her to get into his snowmobiling buddy.
As they headed for home, the fun started. About five kilometres into the journey, Cris made a mistake. What he thought was a shallow ditch(浅沟) turned out to be a deep trough(水槽). Instead of coming out the other side, they just kept going down. They were trapped. And feathery snow was over their heads.

Paragraph 1:
At that moment, they had to take action and get out. They shouted at the top of their voice, but no one could hear them. They began to worry and were convinced they had to stay in their snowmobiling buddy for the night. Suddenly, a good idea occurred to Kathy. She took off one of her clothes and burned it. Seeing the fire, people ran over and managed to pull her car out with all their efforts, making Cris ashamed for his refusal to others.
Paragraph 2:
When Kathy arrived at her home, her mother was waiting for her. She asked Kathy what had happened. Kathy explained, “I made a terrible mistake. But for others’ help, I couldn’t have been home for the night.” When asked what she would do when someone had difficulty, Kathy answered immediately that she would do anything to help others because today’s experience turned out to be a great lesson for her.
