Two decades is a long time, yet I often tell my friends that it feels like only two years. That is because China is an exciting place to be with lots of opportunities for begetters or those who seek adventure. It so happens that I fall into both categories.At first, I was not sure whether I would like my experience in China, so I initially planned to study for only one year when I left Trinidad for Beijing. But as fate would have it, I fell in love with China, its people, and its culture. I extended my course for another three years to learn all I could about this fascinating country, Being in China has allowed me the rare chance to meet many distinguished people. It has also allowed me to do things which I think I would not otherwise have had the chance to do.Years later, I published my first book, “The Emperor, His Bride and the Dragon Robe. " However, to my unexpected delight, this book was officially presented to China as one of state gifts. My mother, full of exhilaration, told me that it was televised on the local news. To this day, I feel highly honored. Among my to-do list is a musical play for children based on the book. Through this book and the play, I hope to share my love for China and engender in children around the world a similar love for Chinese culture.I believe people should have dreams no matter how big or small. However, most importantly, I believe that people must strive to make more opportunities for themselves to fulfill their dreams rather than wait around for a few opportunities to come along by chance. In this regard, I like to use one of Francis Bacon's quotes: "A wise man will create more opportunities than he finds. ”4.Why does two decades feel like only two years to the author?A.Because he has been seeking for opportunities and strive for his dream.B.Because China is an exciting place with lot of opportunities.C.Because he has many friends who are always with him.D.Because he has a fancy for China its people, and its culture.5.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.The author was certain he would fall for the experience in China.B.After studying for four years in China, the author fell in love with it.C.It was rare for the author to meet distinguished people in China.D.Being in China, the author has done things which he couldn't do in his hometown.6.What does the underlined word "engender" in paragraph 3 mean?A.Spread.B.

Clap ham began to wonder if AJ. might be able to solve her problem in the same way the technology recognize people's faces.Now, she says, the open-source Bear ID software can be used and adapted by anyone and could have huge hints for understanding the animals* behaviour and avoiding bear-human encounters.In relation to the technology based on human facial recognition, Ed Miller and his partner Mary Nguyen are the software developers from California who connected with Clap ham in an online forum for conservation technology in late 2024.The pair were looking for photos of bears ”for fun" as a way to learn more about recognition software, and so they connected with Clap ham to offer their expertise (专业学问) in adapting artificial intelligence."The technology Pete using is based on the same software used to recognize humans, n said Miller, who added that human identification is far easier, as there are millions of images the software can learn from.We need lots of images of individual animals to tell the system which bear is which, ” said Clap ham, who explained "deep learning" as the process where the software trains itself to recognize certain bears more accurately with more pictures it gets. Clamshell says Beard currently has an 84 percent accuracy rate. This is especially important, given that a bear will look dramatically different throughout the year as its appearance, especially fur and weight, changes a lot.8.What is Clamp's purpose of catching images of grizzlies?A.To monitor the changes of some specific bears.B.To collect data for facial recognition technology.C.To finish his postdoctoral research.D.To meet his interest in the technology.9.What do we know about Clap ham?A.Clap ham uses Al to track bears.B.Clap ham has been in her behavioral research for about 25 years.C.Clap ham cooperates with others to identify the bears.D.Clap ham majors in software developing at the University of Victoria.10.Why did Ed Miller and his partner contact Clap ham?A.They provided her with their specific knowledge in Al.B.They wanted to know more about Al.C.They were eager to attend the online forum.D.They were using the same Bear ID software.11.What is the purpose of this text?A.To call on more people to protect grizzlies.B.To describe the living habits of grizzlies.C.To introduce the technology used to identify grizzlies.D.To record a friendship between Melanie and her partners.DCalifornia likes to think of itself as the state where the future happens, and in 2008, its voters decided the future was high-speed rail. So they approved a $9 billion bond issue to begin an incredible government infrastructure project: a bullet train connecting San Francisco and Los- Angeles, at a cost of $33 billion.For years, the optimists have imagined Californians will travel quickly, comfortably and environmentally between the state*s two major population centers. The pessimists, meanwhile, have watched the project costs a lot. At last count, the estimates had traveled up to $75 billion, even were still climbing.On Tuesday, Gov. Gavin News om (D ) in his state speech called for the state to transform the project to a less costly rail that would run through the Central Valley, which attracted voters' elsewhere attention,because what happened in California illustrates the fact that any U.S. rail project may take a risk.Distance. In other places of the world, major population centers are much closer to each other. And big cities that are reasonably close together is pretty much an essential condition for high-speed rail, which is why they have it and we don't. Imagine what it would take to build a line from New York City to Los Angeles 一 or to Chicago, Houston or Phoenix.Wealth. Of course, the United States does have a few cities that look ripe for rail. And instead of high-speed rail between these cities, we have the express, which takes eight hours to travel from Washington to Boston. Why haven't we built something better? Because truly high-speed rail needs to travel in a fairly straight line. Building newer, better, straighter rail lines would require the government to buy all the land between Point A and Point B and tear down anything that happened to be in the way. However, what's between Point A and Point B is a great deal of highly valuable real estate that will be very expensive to purchase.California displays all these problems totally. The part of the rail line that was reasonably cheap to build didn't go anywhere near where the people were ; it ran through the Central Valley where land was reasonably cheap and the lobbies wererelatively few.12.In paragraph 1, the author intends toA.prove the point of the passageB.explain a government projectC.introduce a topic for discussionD.present the background information13.What do we know about the bullet train project?A.All people are not in favor of the bullet train project.B.The cost of the project is approximately 75 billion.C.Other states have to risk building their own bullet program.D.The project will make Americans travel rapidly, cozily and environmentally.14.What mainly leads to bullet train program's failure?ernors in California tend to leave the project behind.B.The distance is the main reason to limit the bullet project in America.C.None of cities in America can afford to build a bullet train.D.Bullet train is not as popular as express in America.15.What attitude does the author hold towards the high-speed rail in California?A. Indifferent.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Optimistic.其次节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)依据短文内容,从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

When employees work together effectively, they can achieve more than they ever could individually. This is because teamwork allows for the pooling of diverse skills, knowledge, and experiences, which can lead to innovative solutions and increased productivity.One of the key benefits of teamwork is that it fosters collaboration and communication. When people work together, they can share ideas, solve problems more efficiently, and make better decisions. This is particularly important in industries where projects are complex and require a wide range of expertise. For example, in the technology sector, a successful project may involve engineers, designers, marketing specialists, and sales representatives. By working together, these professionals can ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget.Another advantage of teamwork is that it can improve employee morale and job satisfaction. When people feel valued and respected, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated. In a team environment, employees can support each other, learn from each other, and celebrate each other’s successes. This cancreate a positive work culture that is conducive to productivity and creativity.However, teamwork is not without its challenges. One of the biggest challenges is managing different personalities and working styles. To overcome this, it is important for team leaders to establish clear goals and expectations, as well as to encourage open communication and respect among team members. Additionally, team members should be willing to compromise and adapt to each other’s strengths and weaknesses.Overall, teamwork is a critical component of any successful organization. By promoting collaboration, communication, and mutual respect, teams can achieve their goals and contribute to the overall success of the company.Questions:1、What is the main idea of the passage?A.

From the moment we are born, we rely on our parents and siblings for support. As we grow older, we learn to work together with our peers in school, at work, and in our personal lives. The concept of teamwork is essential in almost every aspect of our lives.One of the key benefits of teamwork is that it allows individuals to contribute their unique skills and perspectives to a common goal. When people work together, they can pool their resources and knowledge to achieve a task more efficiently than they could on their own. This collaborative approach also fosters creativity and innovation, as different ideas and solutions are brought to the table.Moreover, teamwork can lead to personal and professional growth. When individuals work as part of a team, they learn to communicate effectively, build trust, and resolve conflicts. These skills are highly valuable in both personal and professional settings, as they help us navigate relationships and challenges with greater ease.In the workplace, teamwork is crucial for the success of any organization. When employees collaborate effectively, they can overcome obstacles and reach common goals more quickly. This, in turn, enhances productivity and promotes a positive work environment.However, teamwork is not without its challenges. It requires individuals to be open to different ideas and perspectives, and to be willing to compromise and adapt. It also demands effective communication and strong leadership.Despite these challenges, the benefits of teamwork far outweigh the drawbacks.Questions:1.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Teamwork is important in our personal lives.B. Teamwork is crucial for the success of organizations.C. The benefits of teamwork outweigh its challenges.D. Teamwork is a fundamental aspect of human nature.2.According to the passage, what are the benefits of teamwork?A. It allows individuals to contribute their unique skills and perspectives.B. It fosters creativity and innovation.C. It leads to personal and professional growth.D. All of the above.3.How does teamwork contribute to the success of an organization?A. It allows employees to pool their resources and knowledge.B. It enhances productivity and promotes a positive work environment.C. It helps employees overcome obstacles and reach common goals.D. All of the above.4.What is one challenge of teamwork mentioned in the passage?A. It requires individuals to be open to different ideas and perspectives.B. It demands effective communication and strong leadership.C. It can lead to personal and professional growth.D. It is crucial for the success of organizations.5.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Teamwork is only important in the workplace.B.

AMarathon is the supreme discipline of long-distance running. They are not only attractive for top athletes, but also for hobby runners. The choice of events is almost endless. Now we have put together some most breathtakingly beautiful ones that you’ll be tempted (诱惑) to run holding a camera.Ultra-trail Angkor, CambodiaThe newest of a series of Angkor marathons, this endurance test offers 32-km, 64-km and 128-km routes around the famous temples, including Bayon and Angkor Wat. Watch out for monkeys, and the gigantic tree vines that memorably hug some of the great buildings.Dodo Trail, MauritiusCrossing rugged coastline and tropical forests, the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife, although the famous dodo bird remains, sadly, extinct. While the demanding 50km Xtreme route covers 828m-high Black River Peak, a beginner-friendly Mini Dodo Trail (10 km) is easier.Great Ocean Road marathon, AustraliaAnother well-known scenic coastal drive, southern Australia’s Great Ocean Road stages a footrace every May. Neck-ache could be a problem: in one direction lies the scenic South Sea, and in another handsome forest and, if you’re lucky, a koala or two. Be warned, however, that the series of steep slopes make this one of the toughest marathons.Big Five marathon, South AfricaMarathon meets safari at the privately owned Entabeni Game Reserve every June. The start time is dependent on the race-day location of the Big Five members – African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards and rhinos – as organizers try to guarantee sightings.1. Which marathon is suitable for less experienced runners?A. Ultra-trail Angkor.B. Dodo Trail.C. Great Ocean Road marathon.D. Big Five marathon.2. Why does the writer mention “neck-ache” in Great Ocean Road marathon?A. To highlight the wonderful scenery.B. To present the difficulty of the event.C. To attract attention to physical health.D. To warn runners of dangerous animals.3. What do the four marathons have in common?A. Risky and tiring routes.B. Beautiful coastal views.C. Chances to see wild animals.D. Fixed time for annual events.BMany people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood(情绪) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”4. What does Ellen Langer’s study show?A. It is worthwhile to be a perfectionistB. Translation makes people knowledgeable.C. Simpler jobs require greater caution.D. Moderate effort produces the best result.5. The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone Who_______.A. is good at handling pressureB. works hard to become successfulC. a has a natural talent for his job.D. gets on well with his co-workers6 . What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A good thinker is able to inspire other people.B. Experience unrelated to your job is useless.C. A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind.D. Focusing on what you do raises productivity.7 . What does the text seem to advocate?A. Middle-of-the-road work habits.B. Balance between work and family.C. Long-standing cultural traditions.D. Harmony in the work environment.CClothes were once used until they fell apart. Not today. In high-income countries in particular, clothing and footwear are increasingly frequently bought, thrown away and replaced with new fashions, which are themselves soon thrown away and replaced.The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact. ‘Take water. The fashion industry, one of the world’s largest users of water, consumes anywhere from 20 trillion to 200 trillion litres every year. ‘Then there are microplastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) and other polymer-based textiles, and make up between 20% and 35% of the micro plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, suchas those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy. That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research--both academic and industrial--in achieving these and other ambitions.Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling. Undoubtedly, used textiles go to landfill in part because there are relatively few systems that collect, recycle and reuse materials. Such recycling requires the manual separation of fibres, as well as buttons and zips. Different fibres are not easy to identify by eye, and overall such manual processes are time-consuming. Machinery is being developed that can help. Technologies also exist to recycle used fibres chemically and to create high-quality fibres that can be reused in clothing. But these are nowhere near the scale needed.Another challenge for researchers is to work out how to get consumers and manufacturers to change their behavior. Other research questions include finding ways to encourage people to purchase long lasting goods; exploring how to satisfy desires for something new while reducing environmental impact; and understanding why certain measures can be successfully scaled up whereas others fail.8. Why does the author mention “water”, “microplastics” and “chemicals” in Paragraph 2?A. To introduce a topic.B. To prove a point.C. To provide an idea.D. To give a definition.9. Which of the following goes against the concept of “circular economy”?A. Efforts are made to lengthen the lifespan of textiles.B. Worn-out clothes are used as dishcloths and oil rags.C. High-quality fibres are created to be reused in clothing.D. Fashion industry is encouraged to release new designs more often.10. What is the right thing for the fashion industry researchers to do?A. To make sure that all of the used textiles go to landfill.B. To separate fibres, as well as buttons and zips manually.C. To improve and expand textile recycling to a larger extent.D. To encourage consumers to satisfy their desires for fashion.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Say no to the so-called fast fashionB. Address the challenges for researchersC. Embrace more of the circular economyD. Cut fast fashion’s environmental impactDQuantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can’t keep. “What’snew,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin (幅度)” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims? I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.12.Regarding Johnson’s concerns, the author feels ________.A. sympatheticB. unconcernedC. doubtfulD. excited13. What leads to Taylor’s optimism about quantum computing?A . His dominance in physics. B. The competition in the field.C. His confidence in PyQuantum.D. The investment of tech companies.14. What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Open.B. Cool.C. Useful.D. Resistant.15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor?B. Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology?C. Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being?D. Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分12.5 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

One of the most significant changes has been the shift to remote work, which has become a permanent fixture in many industries. This shift has brought both challenges and opportunities. Here is a look at how remote work is transforming the modern workplace.Paragraph 1:Remote work allows employees to enjoy a better work-life balance. With the flexibility to work from home, employees can reduce their commuting time and save on transportation costs. Additionally, working from home can provide a more comfortable and personalized work environment, which can lead to increased productivity.Paragraph 2:However, remote work also poses several challenges. One of the main concerns is the potential for decreased communication and collaboration among team members. Without face-to-face interactions, it can be more difficult to build trust and maintain a strong team dynamic. Moreover, remote workers may struggle with maintaining a consistent work schedule and managing distractions at home.Paragraph 3:To mitigate these challenges, companies are implementing various strategies.Some organizations are investing in video conferencing tools to facilitate regular team meetings and ensure that everyone stays connected. Others are providing training and support to help employees develop effective remote work habits. Additionally, many companies are reevaluating their performance metrics to focus more on outcomes rather than the number of hours worked.Paragraph 4:The rise of remote work has also led to a shift in the traditional office space. Many companies are downsizing their office spaces or even closing them altogether, as they realize that employees can be just as productive from home. This shift has resulted in significant cost savings for businesses and has also reduced the carbon footprint associated with commuting.Questions:1、What is one of the benefits of remote work mentioned in the passage?A. Increased communication among team members.B. Reduced commuting time and transportation costs.C. Higher productivity due to a more comfortable work environment.D.

Hold it for a moment. Now, exhale slowly. As you breathe, notice the sensation of the air entering and leaving your body. Feel the rise and fall of your chest. With each breath, let go of any tension you may be holding. Focus on the present moment, on the sounds around you, the feel of your clothing, the temperature of the air. Do not judge these experiences; simply observe them. Continue to breathe deeply and slowly, allowing yourself to become fully present in this moment.”Questions:1.What is the primary purpose of meditation according to the passage?A) To improve concentrationB) To reduce stressC) To increase self-awarenessD) To enhance physical strength2.Which of the following benefits of meditation is mentioned in the passage?A) Increased muscle massB) Reduced stress levelsC) Improved cardiovascular healthD) Enhanced immune system3.What is the main focus of mindfulness meditation?A) To control the mind’s thoughtsB) To become more aware of the present momentC) To visualize positive outcomesD) To practice deep breathing exercises4.According to the passage, how can meditation alter the brain’s structure?A) By increasing the size of the brainB) By making it more adaptable to stressC) By reducing the size of the prefrontal cortexD) By increasing the amount of gray matter5.What is the main activity described in the meditation excerpt?A) Mindfulness meditationB) Physical exerciseC) Breathing exercisesD) Guided imageryAnswers:1.B2.B3.B4.B5.A五、语言运用第一节 _ 完形填空(15分)Passage:After years of hard work, John finally graduated from university and secured a job as an engineer at a prestigious company.

This movement encourages individuals to take a break from the fast-paced world and focus on the present moment. By slowing down, people can appreciate the beauty of nature, enjoy simple pleasures, and build stronger relationships with family and friends.One of the main reasons for the rise of slow living is the increasing awareness of the negative impacts of a fast-paced lifestyle. Stress, burnout, and mental health issues are on the rise, and many people are looking for ways to reduce their stress levels and improve their well-being. Slow living offers a solution by promoting activities such as mindfulness, exercise, and spending time in nature.Moreover, slow living is not just about reducing our pace but also about consuming less and living more sustainably. It encourages us to buy local, support small businesses, and reduce our carbon footprint. This shift in mindset has a positive impact on the environment and helps create a more sustainable future.Many people have already embraced the slow living philosophy and have seen significant improvements in their lives. For example, Sarah, a 35-year-old lawyer, decided to leave her stressful job and start her own business. She now spends more time with her family, practices yoga, and takes long walks in thecountryside. “I’ve never felt so relaxed and happy,” she says.However, the transition to slow living can be challenging for some. It requires a co nscious effort to change habits and prioritize what’s truly important. But with determination and patience, anyone can adopt a slower, more fulfilling lifestyle.语法填空题目:61.In recent years, the concept of “slow living” has [] popularity among people seeking a more balanced and fulfilling life.A. gainedB. gained inC. gained fromD. gained on答案:B. gained in七、写作第一节 _ 应用文写作(15分)Writing Section 1: Application WritingTask:Write a letter to the editor of your school newspaper expressing your concerns about the recent increase in littering around the school campus.

Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with his facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each child to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another was a butterfly…. When the teacher opened the last egg, it w as empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It was Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.26. The underlined word “condition” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A. gradeB. statusC. healthD. disease27. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.A. The 8-year-olds were sometimes cruelB. The 8-year-olds were friendly to PhilipC. Philip was really different in schoolD. Philip was older and more sensitive28. The teacher gave each child one plastic egg to let them ________.A. play around on that beautiful spring dayB. put some symbol of “new life” into itC. try to pull it apart in the middleD. go out and discover themselves29. After Philip explained his new life, ________.A. The class thought he was clever.B. The class fell silent.C. He began to study in the class.D. He felt dying.30. We learn from the passage that ________.A. The teacher used to have classes outdoorsB. The Philip’s new life wish was emptyC. Philip was healthy as a wholeD. Philip was accepted by his classmatesin the endBMost people hate change, which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect our future.People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don’t merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know –your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!31. Why did the building of the Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy?A. Because they didn’t like the design of the Eiffel Tower.B. Because they couldn’t avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.C. Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.D. Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.32. According to the passage, it can be inferred that what won’t disturb us are _____________.A. the changes that have agreement with one’s willB. the small changes we meet in our daily lifeC. the changes whose effect we can predict and controlD. the changes that we discuss or consider thoroughly33. How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring?A. We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.B. We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.C. We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.D. We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.34. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.B. The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.C. Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.D. Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Psychology of ChangeB. The ways to Overcome the FearC. Changes That Disturb UsD. The Bad Effect of ChangesCIn the fall of 1985. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream, either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you wa nt won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember;little steps add up to big dreams.38. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. She was busy yet happy with her family life.B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.39.What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little ,one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun ,half done.40.Which of the following can best describe the author ?A. Caring and determine.B. Honest and responsible.C. Ambitious and sensitiveD. Innocent and single-minded.D“Dear anybody. Your email address has been chosen by our computer. So, for no reason, we’d like to give you a million dollars. All you need to do is give us your bank account numbers. Can we interest you in some diet pills? And, by the way, I want to marry you.”I hate to let you down, but there is no “million dollars”. The diet pills don’t exist –and your future “husband” or “wife” has just proposed to a million others. These and a hundred other stories have been made up to steal your personal information or money or maybe just to infect your computer with a virus. Welcome to the world of junk email.Junk email – or spam –is probably the biggest global business that’s ever existed. Billions of spam emails are sent every day, making up around 80% of all email traffic. These incredible volumes of spam slow down the whole internet and cost businesses millions of dollars just trying to keep up with the next trick.Your email programme probably includes a spam filter, which sorts out the mail you do want from the junk. But it’s impossible to stop it all and if you put together the seconds it takes to see through the deception (欺诈) in each one, they add up to a significant amount of lost time dealing with the spam that does get through.But who could fall for such obvious tricks? Probably very few of us – one in a million, perhaps. But when you are sending billions of these every day, for next to no cost, it doesn’t take a genius to work out that someone is getting very rich.But who? It’s incredibl y difficult to find out. Most spam is sent using anonymous networks of infected computers, called “botnets”, some of which are made up of tens of millions of computers across dozens of countries. Maybe your own laptop is sending out marriage proposals righ t now. It’s enough to put you off using email again!So what can you do to defend yourself? You could set up a separate email account for online use, or maybe leave out the @ symbol when you write your email address online. An up-to-date web browser and antivirus program will help too. And of course, never open strange email, even from a friend’s account. Never click on the links. And never ever reply!41.
