What would you want most on a desert island?
This month’s survey shows people worldwide have a natural understanding of what they would need most if left alone on a desert island: another person. And one they know well. Respondents(应答者) in all 16 countries surveyed said their spouse or partner would be their first choice to have with them. Perhaps this makes sense: An MP3 player can’t help you find drinking water, your dog can’t help you start a fire and who knows if George Clooney or Penelope Cruze has taken courses in wilderness survival training? Let’s just hope the SOS sign you two build gets spotted sooner rather than later!
“ My husband, of course! George Clooney wouldn’t think I’m as pretty as my husband does!” ---- Roseane, 42, Brazil
“My MP3 player. I would not want my loved ones, including my pet, to be left alone like this.” ---- Co-Co, 28, China
“My partner should be there to listen to me complain about the fact that we are left alone on an island-- probably due to some error he made.”
---- Julia, 25, Jordan
21.According to the survey, people left alone on a desert island would most want their ________.
A. MP3 player B. spouse/ partner C. dog D. celebrity
22. Which of the following is true about George Clooney?
A. He does not think Roseane is beautiful.
B. He may not be able to help you survive.
C. He has been trained in wilderness survival.
D. He is the choice of most South African women.
23. The survey results are analyzed in terms of the respondents’__________.
A. marriage, age and race B. age, sex and marriage
C. sex, age and nationality D. race, nationality and sex

Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, also wrote a children’s book with his daughter. Hawking said the book would be “a bit like Harry Potter” but without the magic. “It explains the wonders of the universe,” said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong over 10 years ago.
Hawking, is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”
Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking.
Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(语音合成器).
“I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”
Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes
winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics.
24. In the first paragraph, the book that Stephen Hawking wrote is_____.
A. the same as Harry Potter B. is quite different from Harry Potter.
C. about the magic D. about science
25. From the text we can learn _____.
A. Hawking is more famous than Einstein
B. Hawking is less famous than Einstein
C. Both Hawking and Einstein are very famous
D. Neither Hawking nor Einstein is famous
26. What does the underlined pronoun “It” in the second paragraph stand for?
A. The goal. B. The magic. C. The universe. D. The book.
27. According to the text, which of the following statements is the fact?

When I began my career as a jazz singer, I was told to start by covering the standards. But I didn’t follow the path most new jazz artists take and produced original albums instead. I believe when you have something to say, you can’t really keep it down.
Two of those original albums, Liquid Spirit and Take Me To The Alley, earned me a loyal fan base and two Grammys for best jazz album in 2014 and 2017 respectively.
My idol is Nat King Cole, whose music has an important place in our household. I could smell the greens on the stove and the cornbread in the oven when I hear Nat’s music. I wanted to have his music come through my body and sing it as an expression of appreciation for him. My mother had always been a fan of his music. This is something I did one day: Imagine her coming home from some protest movement or march and putting on, “Smile though your heart is aching, smile even though it’s breaking.” Imagine her putting on, “Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.” I see the optimism and the strength in his music.
Writing from a personal experience can bring about my feelings and power of feelings that can be instantly connected to the instrument and my voice. When I sing Mother’s Song, Insanity, even Holding On, I am expressing things I have a connection to.
The song Holding On is a soul song. It connects to Nat King Cole with its optimism, the optimism about the power and the strength of love. I like the fact that I can have 17 to 25-year-olds all over the world jumping and dancing to this song. They’re still getting the message.
28. How did the writer start his career as a musician?
A. By copying his idol. B. By singing for awards.
C. By covering the standards. D. By creating original music.
29. What’s paragraph three mainly about?
A. The writer’s childhood experience.
B. Nat King Cole’s contribution to jazz.
C. The writer’s mother in the protest movement.
D. Nat King Cole’s influence on the writer and his family.
30. What does the writer express in his songs?
A. His personal emotions.
B. His strong love for jazz.
C. His attitude toward social injustice.
D. His memories of the good old days.
31. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?
A. The dream of the writer’s mother has come true.
B. The writer’s music is influencing young people.
C. Nat King Cole’s jazz music highly valued by all.
D. Optimism is the soul of the writer’s original songs
D
Managers and office busybodies might be keen on a clean desk, but it seems that in terms of productivity, they could have it all wrong. “A messy (凌乱的) desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking,” say researchers from Germany.
The researchers found in a series of linked studies---using a messy desk and a messy shop front---that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. That is, visual and mental clutter (杂乱) forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. For instance, famous thinkers and writers such as Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl have been notorious (臭名昭著的) for their untidy desks.
“Messy desks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as the problem-solving approaches they seem to promote work efficiency or enhance employees’ creativity in problem solving,” say the authors.
“Business and government managers often promote ‘clean desk’ policies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity,” writes a researcher, Jia Liu of the University of Groningen. “This practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and messy environment can clutter one’s mind and complicate one’s judgments.”
“However, not all evidence supports this conventional link between a messy environment and a messy mind”. The scientists tested people’s response in various messy environments, including a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language task reminded people of messiness.
The authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking. “They classified products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a T-shirt that has a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers.
32. Why did the author take Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl for example?
A. To convince readers that untidiness is not all that bad.
B. To inform readers of one way to success—untidy desks.
C. To tell readers untidy desks can make you as famous as them.
D. To attract readers and show the author’s wide range of knowledge.
33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Not all people are in favor of “clean desk” in the office.
B. People tend to clear up the mess before thinking clearly.
C. A clean environment will do great harm to work efficiency.
D. A messy environment will certainly lead to a messy mind.
34. The underlined word “detrimental” probably mean_____.
A. common B. accessible C. beneficial D. disadvantageous
35. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The messier the desks are, the more efficient the employees are.
B. We should make our office messy to improve our work efficiency.
C. Messy desks in the office can have a positive effect on employees.
D. Clean desks can promote the employees’ productivity and creativity.

If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 36 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.
Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 37
Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start. 38 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里)burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.
39 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.
40 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.
There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out! You will feel energized all day long.
A. You will stick to your diet.
B. Your quality of sleep improves.
