I'm a standup comic. One day, a woman from The Daily News called and said she wanted to
do an article on me. When she had finished interviewing me for the article, she asked, "What are
you planning to do next?" Well, at the time, there was absolutely nothing I was planning on doing
next, so I asked her what she meant, pausing for a moment. She told me she was interested in me!
So I thought I'd better tell her something. What came out was, “I'm thinking about breaking the
Guinness Book of World Records for Fastest-Talking Female."
The newspaper article came out the next day, and the writer had included my parting remarks.
about trying to break the world's Fastest-Talking Female record. At about 5: 00 p.m. that afternoon
I got a call from Larry King Live, which I had never heard of, asking me to go on the show. They
wanted me to try to break the record, and they told me they would pick me up at 8: 00---because
they wanted me to do it that night!
Then I sat down to figure out what on earth I was going to do on the show. I called Guinness
to find out how to break a fast-talking record. They told me I would have to recite something
either Shakespeare or the Bible. Shakespeare and I had never really gotten along, so 1 figured the
Bible was my only hope. I began practicing and practicing, over and over again. I was both
nervous and excited at the same time.
Then I decided just to give it my best shot, and I did. I broke the record, becoming the
World’s Fastest-talking Female by speaking 585 words in one minute in front of a national
television audience. I broke it again two years later, with 603 words in a minute. My career took
off.
People often ask me how I did that. I tell them I live my life by this simple philosophy: I
always say yes first; then I ask, “Now, what do I have to do to accomplish that?" Then I ask
myself, “What is the worst thing that can happen if I don't succeed? The answer is, I simply don't
succeed! And what's the best thing that can happen? I succeed!
What more can life ask of you? Be yourself, and have a good time!

The term “SMART goals" was coined by in 1954. Since then, SMART goals have become
popular with business managers, educators and others because they work. The late management
guru Peter F. Drucker developed the concept. Drucker shaped many top managers' career.
Management by objectives was one of his primary business theories.
In 2002, Drucker received the highest civilian honor in the U.S.---the Medal of Freedom. He
died in 2005 at age 95. Drucker's family decided to look forward instead of backward, and they
gathered distinguished business people to form The Drucker Institute.
The institute's website states “"Their work is to transform the archival (档案) treasure into a
social enterprise whose purpose is to strengthen society by encouraging effective, responsible and
joyful management."
If you have been to a business management class, you may likely have learned how to write
goals and objectives in Drucker's way: SMART. If you haven't heard about Drucker, you are in for
a treat that will help you achieve what you want and be more successful, whether you are a teacher
trying to teach well, an adult learner or a person who seeks to achieve your dreams.
SMART goals are: “s" stands for specific. Make your goal or objective as specific as possible
Say exactly what you want to achieve in clear, concise words. “M” stands for measurable. Include
a unit of measure in your goal. Be objective rather than subjective. When will your goal be
achieved?
How will you know it has been achieved? “A" stands for achievable. Ensure that your goal
is feasible in terms of the resources available to you. “R" stands for realistic. Focus on the end
results you desire rather than the activities necessary to get there. You want to grow personally, so
reach for your goal---but be reasonable or you'll set yourself up for disappointment. “T” stands for
time-bound. Give yourself a deadline within a year. Include a timeframe such as a week, month or
year, and include a specific date if possible.
28. How can we describe Drucker in the passage?
A. Influential. B. Energetic. C. Considerate. D. Adorable.
29. Why did Drucker's family form The Drucker Institute?
A. To pay respect to Drucker.
B. To further Drucker's work.
C. To study Drucker's theory.
D. To donate Drucker 's money.
30. Who can benefit from “Smart gals"?
A. People who like to daydream.
B. People who are passive learners.
C. People who always want a real treat.
D. People who want to better themselves.
31. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. The other achievements of Drucker.
B. The business goals of smart people.
C. The exact meanings of SMART goals.
D. The applications of Drucker's theories.

A living robot has been created out of frog skin cells. Xenobots, named after the frog species
Xenopus laevis (非洲爪蝴) that the cells come from, were first described last year. Now the team
behind the robots has improved their design and demonstrated new capabilities.
To create the xenobots, Michael Levin at Tufts University in Massachusetts and his
colleagues obtained tissue from 24-hour-old frog embryos after very small physical operation.
Where the previous version relied on the contraction (收缩) of heart muscle cells to move them
forward by pushing off surfaces, these new xenobots swim around faster. They also live between
three and seven days longer than their previous generation, which only lasted about seven days,
and have the ability to sense their surroundings to some extent, turning red when exposed to blue
light.
The fundamental finding here is that when you free skin cells from their normal context, and
you give them a chance to build other things than what they normally build," says Levin. “To me,
one of the most exciting things here is that they are plastic. This idea that even normal cells, not
genetically modified, are in fact capable of building something completely different."
Because they are created from cells, the xenobots eventually break apart and are totally
biodegradable (能降解的), says team member Douglas Blackiston, also at Tufts University. He
therefore hopes that they can be used for biomedical and environmental applications.
Previous attempts at creating living robots, such as a wirelessly controlled cockroach, have
involved dealing with live animals, raising ethical (伦理的) concerns. Xenobots differ from these
because they are made entirely of living cells. “The approach here is maybe ethically the least
problematic because everything starts with cells. They have no neurons (神经元),so it's not an
animal," says Auke ljspeert at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Lausanne, who wasn't
involved in the research. “It's really cells, so I find it maybe the cleanest way."
32. How were the new xenobots created?
A. By making use of frog embryos.
B. By relying on heart muscle cells.
C. By sensing similar surroundings.
D. By exposing them to blue light.
33. Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “plastic” in Paragraph 3?
A. Fragile. B. Stable. C. Flexible. D. Active.
34. What can be inferred from Douglas Blackiston's words?
A. The xenobots can't break down easily.
B. The xenobots need to be further perfected.
C. The xenobots can be applied in other fields.
D. The xenobots have already been widely used.
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The new approach starts with some neurons.
B. Xenobots have raised least ethical concerns.
C. The wireless controlled cockroach is a failure.
D. Previous living robots involve few living animals.

Family-friendly walks
PADLEY GORGE
Next to Grindleford Station, eight miles north of Bakewell, lies Padley Gorge. Trails are kept
as natural as possible---it's more a case of finding the gaps in the woods than following a path.
LONGSHAW ESTATE
The 1.7-mile walking route around this National Trust estate skirts the upper end of Padley
Gorge. People love the stepping stones, but Longshaw is mostly all about the giant fallen trees,
left in place for little hands and feet to delightfully climb over.
HIGGER TOR
A pile of giant rocks dominates Higger Tor, the best of several lookouts along the Ringinglow
Road between Hathersage and Sheffield. Walk through the nearby fields, then let the kids climb
over hundreds of strangely smooth grey stones. The views out over the Hope Valley are great and
impressive, and the rock pools in Burbage Brook are perfect for rowing in.
STANAGE EDGE
Popular with rock climbers, this stone cliff marks the boundary of the mysterious land of the
Dark Peak cliff and the grass-covered flat land of White Peak. It's a six mile circular walk from
Hathersage. Alternatively, park at the Hollin Bank Car Park and climb half a mile to the top, out of
breath.
CHATSWORTH ESTATE
A three-mile circle from Calton Lees Car Park takes in a ruined factory, the pretty village of
Edensor and views of Chatsworth House. Appreciate the stretch along the River Derwent---deer
often hang out there.
21. Whom is the text intended for?

Few parts have reached the same heights in television as James Gandolfini's Tony Soprano.
The Sopranos was appointment TV series, and 13 years after the series ended. The Many Saints of
Newark, a promising film, will be shown to the audiences this fall, with Michael Gandolfini
succeeding his father as a young Tony.
"My dad didn't want me to see Tony Soprano---the violence, the angry, the mean. Of course I
was on set and would visit him when he was free, but I had never watched the show... I never
knew Tony Soprano. I only knew my dad."
Michael spent summers with his dad on the Jersey Shore. "Because he was beloved down
there. I would get jobs I was unqualified for at only eight years old, like working at a body shop."
When Michael was 14, his father died of a heart attack while on vacation in Rome.
A football injury sent Michael to try out for high school plays. "I'd gone to acting to get
myself through after my dad passed away. Honestly, I didn't like it at first, but it brought
something out." Two managers took a chance and sent him to his first-ever acting. They called the
next day: "You're the right one!" He played Joey Dwyer and calls it "an incredible time of failing
and learning and getting my sea legs."
"It was really hard to watch my dad," he says. "I recorded four hours of his long speeches
with Melfi and walked around New York with them constantly, constantly, constantly playing in
my ear."
Three months later, he got the offer. In Cherry, Michael plays the hometown friend of
Holland's bank robber with PTSD(创伤后应激障碍). "Not playing the Italian New York kid,
having them believe in me and allow me to play such a complicated, beautiful role was such a
gift." Looking back, he says, "My dad constantly told me, if I'd ask a question about acting, 'I'm
not your acting coach. I'm your dad,' which I really appreciate now."
24. What do Michael's words underlined in Paragraph 2 indicate?
A. He wasn't exposed to negative scenes.
B. He didn't have the chance to visit James.
C. He wasn't willing to watch the show on set.
D. He happened to have missed Tony Soprano.
25. Which best explains why Michael got the job at eight?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Love me, love my dog. D. You can't judge a book by its cover.
26. What serves as a contributing factor to Michael's success?
A. His initial dream. B. His gift and diligence.
C. His father's coaching. D. Two managers' pressure.
27. Which can best describe Michael Gandolfini?
A. Creative, tolerant and lonely.
B. Loving, grateful and talented.
C. Beloved, modest and arbitrary.
D. Simple, proud and miserable.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, technologies are playing a crucial role in keeping our
society functional in a time of lockdowns and quarantines(封锁和隔离). And remote work may
have a long-lasting impact beyond COVID-19.
Many companies have asked employees to work from home. Remote work is enabled by
technologies including virtual private networks(VPNs), voice over internet protocols'(VoIPs),
virtual meetings, cloud technology, work collaboration tools and even facial recognition
technologies that enable a person to appear before a virtual background to preserve the privacy of
the home. In addition to preventing the spread of viruses, remote work also saves commute time
and provides more flexibility.
Yet remote work also imposes challenges to employers and employees. Information security,
privacy and timely tech support can be big issues. Remote work can also complicate labor law
issues, such as those associated with providing a safe work environment and income tax issues.
Employees may experience loneliness and lack of work-life balance. If remote work becomes
more common after the COVID-19 pandemic, employers may decide to reduce rents and hire
people from regions with cheaper labor costs.
Laws and regulations must be updated to accommodate remote work, and further
psychological studies need to be conducted to understand the effect of remote work on people.
Further, not all jobs can be done from home, which creates disparity. According to the US
Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 25% of wage and salary workers worked from home at least
occasionally from 2017 to 2018. Workers with college educations are at least five times more
likely to have jobs that allow them to work from home compared with people with high school
diplomas. Some professions, such as medical services and manufacturing, may not have the option
at all. Policies with respect to data flows and taxation would need to be adjusted should the
volume of cross-border digital services rise significantly.
28. Why is remote work especially important during COVID-19?
A. It saves time. B. It blocks viruses.
C. It saves money. D. It preserves privacy.
29. What is the purpose of the third and fourth paragraphs?
A. To emphasize importance.
B. To sadden employers and employees.
C. To demonstrate challenges.
D. To compare benefits and drawbacks.
30. The underlined word in the last paragraph can be replaced by .
A. gaps B. challenges
C. options D. prejudices
31. What is the author's tone when talking about remote work?
A. Critical. B. Objective.
C. Subjective. D. Suspicious.
D
For lots of animals---humans included---lazing about in the sunshine is one of life's greatest
pleasures. But unfortunately, this leisure comes with a cost: sunburn. And, while its most likely
victims are the fairer-skinned among us, animals are at risk of sunburn, too. But if this can happen
to animals too, why, then, don't we ever see sunburned fish?
"If you think of it, the sun has been here forever in terms of our planet, and all individuals
have been exposed to it," said Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse, a molecular epidemiologist from the
Autonomous University of Queretaro, in Mexico. So, it's a pretty strong selective pressure that the
sun has put on animals and that has led to many mechanisms of reacting to it."
Some of these mechanisms are obvious: hair, fur, wool, feathers and scales(鱼鳞)on many
creatures create a barrier between sunshine and skin.
But, "marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物), and specifically cetaceans(whales, dolphins and
porpoises ) , are an exception because they don't have fur; they don't have scales," said
Acevedo-Whitehouse, who has been studying sunburn in whales for over five years.
In skin samples taken from the backs of blue, sperm and fin whales on their cross-ocean
migrations, Acevedo-Whitehouse and her colleagues discovered signs of sunburn from the whales'
hours spent breathing and socializing at the surface. But crucially, they also discovered that whales
have specialized mechanisms that help them cancel out this burn. "The common adaptation of
cetaceans is that they appear to be very effective at repairing damage," she said.
Some whales generate colors that darken and protect their skin; others have genes(基因)that
set off a protective stress response in the skin. There are even whales that have developed a hard,
keratinized layer(角质层)that protects the delicate skin below. "We were excited to see there isn't
really evidence of skin cancer in whales," Acevedo-Whitehouse said. Now, they're trying to
understand precisely how those healing mechanisms work.
32. Which of the following problems is the text trying to solve?
A. Do whales ever get sunburnt?
B. How do whales avoid sunburn?
C. Do animals ever get sunburnt?
D. How do mammals protect skin?
33. What does the "exception" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Whales don't have fur to protect themselves.
B. Whales can protect their skin even without fur.
C. Whales build a wall between sunshine and skin.
D. Whales' reacting mechanism is obviously found.
34. In what situation do some whales probably get sunburnt?
A. Breathing. B. Socializing above water.
C. Sunbathing. D. Surfacing for a long time.
35. Some whales adapt well to sun damage, depending on .
A. rapid healing B. self-made sun cream
C. protective coats D. impossibility of cancer

I was so worried about handing my little boy over during his first week of school, but you
made it easier. You smiled at him like a mother would at her own child.You showed warmth and
your hugs were always on offer.After a day in class with you, Charlie would come home singing.
Whenever I hear Do Your Ears Hang Low or see him stretching to the sky when singing about the
days of the week, I will think of you.I didn't tell you at the time, but I loved your morning song so
much that I implemented it in my own class (I'm a teacher, too).
When you saw I was troubled, you hugged me with your smile and I knew everything would
be OK. You made parents feel as cared for as our children.In the short time I knew you; you taught
me about the type of teacher I desire to be. You never seemed disturbed by the mountain of
paperwork or impossible work-life balance that comes with the role. Instead, you appeared to
embrace every minute.
I can't understand why you've been taken from us. Telling Charlie was one of the hardest
things I've had to do.I'm not sure he fully understands, but he told me he loved you and has been
asking whether your"robot powers"will work in heaven.
A friend once told me white feathers are angels telling us that loved ones in heaven are well.
On the first day collecting the children without you,a white feather floated through the sleet (雨
夹雪). Watching the younger ones bounce and gigle as they tried to catch it was beautiful.
I wish I had told you all of this when you were with us.I hope that you knew how you
brought happiness to everyone you met and how loved you were. Goodbye,Dear Friend.

Physical activity is important in preventing cardiovascular(心血管的)disease in young
people so long as they don't undertake very intense activity on days when air pollution levels are
high, according to a recently released study.
Until now, little has been known about the relationships between the health benefits of
physical activity taking place outdoors and the potentially harmful effects of air pollution.Previous
research by the authors of the current study had investigated the question in middle-aged people at
a single point in time,but this is the first time that it has been investigated in young adults aged
between 20-30 years over a period of several years.In addition, the researchers wanted to see what
happens when people increase or decrease their physical activity over time.
At each health check-up, the participants completed a questionnaire asking about their
physical activity in the past seven days and this information was changed into units of metabolic
equivalent task (MET,代谢当量任务)minutes per week(MET-mins/week).The participants
were divided into four groups:0,1-499,500999 and 1000 or more MET-mins/week. People are
recommended to do 500-999 MET-mins/week and this can be achieved by;for example,running,
cycling or hiking for 15-30 minutes five times a week, or brisk walking, doubles tennis or slow
cycling for 30-60 minutes five times a week.
The researchers used data to calculate annual average levels of air pollution, in particular the
levels of small particulate matter tat are less than or equal to 10 or 2.5 microns in diameter, known
a PM10 and PM25.
Overall,the results show that physical activity is associated with a lower risk of developing
cardiovascular disease among young adults.However, when air pollution levels are high,exercising
beyond the recommended amount may offset or even reverse the beneficial effects. The study
cannot show that air pollution causes the increased cardiovascular risk, only that it is associated
with it
28. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Outdoor physical activity harms our health.
B. Exercising isn't advised on serious air pollution days.
C.A first in-depth survey has been done on young adults.
D.Middle-aged people have been the ideal research target.
29.How do the results come out?
A.By doing research on young adults.
B.By collecting PM 10 and PM2.5 data.
C. By making experiments on middle-aged people.
D.By studying a questionnaire on physical activity.
30. What do we know about the result?
A. Air pollution leads to cardiovascular disease.
B. Cardiovascular disease relates to air pollution.
C.More physical exercise benefits young people.
D. Young adults seldom develop cardiovascular disease.
31.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Physical activity & air pollution: when to do more or less physical activity.
B.Physical activity & health benefit: how to prevent cardiovascular disease
C.Physical activity & air pollution: what to do with high air pollution levels
D.Physical activity &health benefit: how to maximize the health benefits of exercising

Using your face to unlock your phone is a pretty genius security. plan. But like any advanced
technology, thieves and hackers are always up to the challenge, whether that's unlocking your
phone with your face while you sleep or using a photo from social media to do the am.
Like every other human biometric identification system(生物标识系统)before it, such as
fingerprints and retina scans, there are still significant.security bugs in some of the most advanced
identity verification(证实)technology. Brigham Young University electrical and computer
engineering Professor D.J.Lee has decided there is a better and more secure way to use your face
for restricted access.
It's called Concurrent Two-Factor Identity Verification (C2FIV) and it requires both one’s
facial identity and a specific facial motion to gain access.To set it up,a user faces a camera and
records a short 1-2 second video of either a unique facial motion or a lip movement from reading a
secret phrase.The video is then input into the device, which obtains facial features and the features
of the facial motion, storing them for later ID verification.
To get technical, C2FIV relies on an integrated neural network framework to learn facial
features and actions at the same time.Using this integrated neural network framework, the user’s
facial features and movements are embedded(嵌入)and stored on a server or in an embedded
device and when they later attempt to gain access,the computer compares the newly generated
embedding to the stored one.That user's ID is verified if the new and stored embeddings match at
a certain level.
Lee said C2FIV has broader application,including accessing restricted areas at a workplace,
online banking,ATM use,safe deposit box access or even hotel room entry or keyless access to
your vehicle."How great would it be to know that even if you lost your car key, no one can steal
your vehicle because they don't know your secret facial action?"
32.How do today's hackers unlock your phone?
A. By challenging you to make faces.
B. By making genius security plans.
C. By taking your fingerprints.
D. By stealing your photos from social media.
33.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How C2FIV differs. B.How C2FIV works.
C. Why C2FTV is convenient. D. Where C2FIV is applied.
34.What is the foundation to guarantee that C2FIVgets technical?
A.Learning facial features and actions at once.
B.Being equipped with an embedded device.
C. Matching the new and stored embeddings.
D.Using an integrated neural network framework.
35.What does Professor D.J.Lee think of C2FTV?
A.It has limited application areas.
B. It can improve work efficiency.
C.It has a bright application future.
D.It can ensure the motion of vehicles.

Broadstairs from 1837 to 1851, through personal items and letters. Guided tours available.
The museum is housed in the cottage that was Charles Dickens’ inspiration for the home of
Betsey Trotwood in David Copperfield. David’s description of Betsey’s cottage with its square
gravelled garden full of flowers, and a parlour of old fashioned furniture still fits today.
The character Betsy Trotwood is based on Miss Mary Pearson Strong who lived in the
cottage that is now the museum. According to the reminiscences of Charles Dickens’ son Charley,
he and his father regularly had tea and cakes in the parlour (会客室) with the kindly and charming
Miss Mary Pearson Strong. He also remembers that Miss Pearson Strong was completely
convinced of her right to stop the passage of donkeys along the cliff top in front of her cottage.
This belief became the donkey incident for the character of Betsy Trotwood, with the famous
quote: “Janet! Donkeys!”
Spread over four floors, the Charles Dickens Museum holds the world’s most important
collection of paintings, rare editions, manuscripts, original furniture and other items relating to the
life and work of Dickens. Perhaps the best-known exhibit is the portrait of Dickens known as
Dickens’Dream by R. W. Buss, an original illustrator of The Pickwick Papers. This unfinished
portrait shows Dickens in his study at Gads Hill Place surrounded by many of the characters he
had created.

For hundreds of years, Africans have preserved their history through storytelling. But some
Africans worry that oral traditions will be lost to the Internet connections and social media.
This has led a Nigerian woman named Elizabeth Kperrun to create a mobile phone
application as a way to preserve African folk stories. She calls her mobile app AfroTalez, which
tells children’s stories that teach moral lessons.
“We can’t teach kids something by telling them, ‘Don’t do this’. I think kids need context to
understand. In a story somebody stole something and then something bad happened to them.
Alternatively, somebody else did something good and they ended up happy or rich.”
“Hello children. My name is Liz and I’d like to tell you a story about tortoises, elephants,
and ...” The voice of “Aunt Liz” narrates the story, while a full-screen animation appears. An
arrow signals when it’s time to move on. There are also quizzes on object recognition and
counting throughout.
Kperrun asks her older relatives to help her collect stories for the application. The stories
come from an ethnic group living in southeast Nigeria and northwest Cameroon. “I want to keep it
centered on folk stories, not the ones that Walt Disney has made really popular... It’s fair and
respectful to keep certain cultures alive because folk stories are part of the tapestry that keeps
cultures together.” Kperrun once said.
Kperrun writes and reads the stories. Her business partner and husband Idamiebi
Ilamina-Eremie does the animation (动画).
AfroTalez is available for Android users and can be downloaded for free. So far, AfroTalez
has more than 50,000 users. Funding for the app has been a major challenge. Kperrun hopes to use
a crowdfunding campaign to help fund the next version of AfroTalez to be released soon.
Kperrun believes technology doesn’t have to destroy or replace traditions. Her goal is to
combine them to keep African culture alive. She says “Africa is our home, but we are so eager to
become Western that we are forgetting things that are really important and should be passed on of
who we are, and I don’t think that’s right.”
24. What caused Elizabeth Kperrun to create the mobile app AfroTalez?
A. Desiring to make money through the Internet.
B. Planning to keep technology replacing traditions.
C. Dreaming of launching a crowdfunding campaign.
D. Worrying about the disappearance of African oral traditions.
25. The stories AfroTalez provides ________.
A. are narrated by Kperrun’s husband
B. are familiar to today’s African children
C. are as popular as those of Walt Disney’s
D. are means to teach children moral lessons
26. According to the passage, AfroTalez ________.
A. will destroy African traditions
B. is free for Android users
C. has released two versions
D. faces no financial problems
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Mobile App seeks to preserve African folktales
B. African people pass on traditions by storytelling
C. It is unwise for a nation to learn from western countries blindly
D. Social media lead to the disappearance of African Oral traditions

When we are kids, we are constantly being compared to others. Our parents may compare us
to our siblings (兄弟姐妹). Our teachers probably compared us to other students. Kids compared
us to other kids.
Those comparisons created either a sense of humiliation or a sense of pride. Either way, it
has become second-nature. Everything we’d done has been followed by looking around and
seeking validation (确认感).
Midway through my psychology PhD program at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, I
felt that I lacked whatever magical ability is required to finish and publish a project. It seemed as
though other graduate students were authoring several papers in the time it took me to complete a
single experiment. I worked as hard as I could, but my progress seemed to be incremental (渐进式
增加的) compared with theirs. When I shared these concerns with my adviser, she had a different
take on the situation. “You’re not doing anything wrong,” she assured me, “you’re just pursuing a
different kind of research.”
Comparing yourself to others is not necessarily a bad thing.
When you catch yourself comparing yourself to others, get curious about the feeling that is
being triggered (引起). Is it jealousy? Is it obsession? Is it admiration? Is it love? Is it inspiration?
Your triggered feelings will give you a clue as to what is going on within you.
Most likely, you are jealous because you wish you had what it takes to achieve what the other
has achieved or to have what they have. Get curious and figure out why you still don’t have it and
what would it take to get there. It is never a good idea to make yourself wrong for comparing
yourself to others or to make yourself wrong for not getting where you wish to be.
But if all this comparison mounts to is bitter jealousy, then your problem is bigger than a
simple comparison. Always bear in mind that your only competition is the one in the mirror
and—believe me—it is the toughest competition of all.
28. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “humiliation” in
Paragraph 2?
A. Virtue. B. Shame. C. Excitement. D.
Tiredness.
29. What can be concluded from the adviser’s words in Paragraph 3?
A. The author made great progress.
B. The author worried unnecessarily.
C. The author had magical power.
D. The author did something wrong.
30. What will uncover your inner thoughts when you compare yourself with others according to
the passage?
A. Progress made with great effort.
B. Clues found through research.
C. Comparisons triggered by curiosity.
D. Emotions activated by comparisons.
31. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. How to view comparisons in a reasonable way.
B. How to seek validation when compared with others.
C. How to show second-nature in comparison with others.
D. How to get rid of feelings caused by comparisons.

Babies are surrounded by human language, always listening and processing. Eventually, they
put sounds together to produce a “Daddy” or a “Mama”. But what still confuses neuroscientists is
exactly how the brain works to put it all together.
To figure it out, a team of researchers turned to a frequent stand-in (代替) for babies when it
comes to language learning: the song-learning zebra finch. “We’ve known songbirds learn their
song by first forming a memory of their father’s song or another adult’s song. Then they use that
memory to guide their song learning,” said Neuroscientist Todd Roberts. “It’s been a long-term
goal of the field to figure out how or where in the brain this memory is. This type of imitative
learning that birds do is very similar to the type of learning that we engage in
regularly—particularly when we’re young, we use it to guide our speech learning.”
Roberts and his team had a feeling that the interface (交叉区域) between sensory areas and
motor areas in the brain was critical for this process, and they focused on a group of brain cells
called the NIf.
“In order to prove that we could identify these circuits, we thought if we could implant a false
memory.” First, they used a virus to cause the neurons (神经元) in the birds’ NIf to become
sensitive to light. Then, using a tiny electrode as a flashlight, they activated (激活) the neurons.
The length of each pulse of light corresponded with the amount of time the neurons would fire.
And the birds’ brains interpreted that time period as the length of each note.
Soon enough, the birds began to practice the notes they had learned, even though they never
really heard the sounds. Amazingly, the birds produced them in the correct social situations. The
researchers say this is the first time anybody has found exactly a part of the brain necessary for
generating the sorts of memories needed to copy sounds.
“This line of research is going to help us identify where in the brain we encode memories of
relevant social experiences that we use to guide learning. We know that there are several
neurodevelopmental disorders in people that have really far-reaching effects on this type of
learning.”
32. The zebra finch is researched because its song-learning mode ________.
A. decides whether it will sing songs
B. helps it to say “Daddy” or “Mama”
C. is like the way babies learn speech
D. reflects its talent for imitating its father’s song
33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The interface in the brain.
B. Guidance from adults.
C. Imitative learning type like birds’.
D. The way of regular learning.
34. What can we learn from the research led by Roberts?
A. Scientists activated some neurons by using an electrode.
B. A bird only sings what it heard before.
C. The brain produces tiny electrodes.
D. Birds are sensitive to light.
35. What do the Roberts’ team expect of this line of research?
A. A change in our way of listening and processing.
B. A chance to have relevant social experiences.
C. A better knowledge of the secrets of learning.
D. Identification of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Psychological stress is likely to surface during a human mission to Mars. Prof
Jeff Johnson thinks an onboard “comedian” could keep spirits up during the long
journey. He is drawing on his research on the differing team building approaches of
competing polar explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott to prove his
point. Amundsen's team made it to the South Pole and back while Scott's died on the
return journey.
Well, Roald Amundsen actually put people through tests before they set off to
make sure that they would take orders and, in particular, whether they would
challenge any of them. Amundsen would set up situations where there would be an
ambiguous context to see what their responses would be, and if somebody questioned
him, they were out. However, if you read Amundsen's diary, he writes that Lindstrom,
the cook, was basically the most important person on the expedition.
Lindstrom was the comedian. He didn't actually go to the South Pole, but you've
got to remember that the walking expedition was a small component of the overall
time that they were on the ice. They were there for well over a year, waiting to walk to
the Pole. They had to wait during the winter and it's a very tense time when people are
idle(懒散的). Lindstrom played an essential role in keeping the peace in the group
when there were tense moments, and he would do something funny to get everybody
to laugh, which would break the tension.
There are individuals who have these certain natural abilities that you want to be
able to recognise and include when you're putting together groups that are going to be
isolated, such as those going into space. There are a number of different roles that
we've discovered are important, but one of them is somebody who has humour. That's
clearly important. So, you'd want to have somebody like Lindstrom, somebody who is
not only good at what they have to do (he was a very good cook) but who also has
another skillset beyond what's in the job description.
We can put people together thinking that they're going to work together in a
certain way, but over the course of time a crisis is bound to happen. There are the
kinds of things that make groups more adaptable and help them function better. You
can think about it in terms of atoms: when you put different elements together, they
produce different kinds of things. It's the same with people. They may have their own
characteristics, but when you put them together, they're going to create a different
kind of situation and we want to have a better idea of what that might be.

A. contradict his previous statements
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. illustrate the importance of a comedian
D. emphasize the necessity of team spirits

C. Besides cooking tasty dishes, he was capable of easing tension when it arose.
D. When a vacancy appeared, he was always ready to fill it in and made it work.

leaders

A dozen international coffee experts shuffle( 把 脚 挪 来 挪 去 ) around a long
wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping and sniffing deeply. Then
the slurping( 吃 喝 或 吸 吮 的 声 音 ) begins. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan
watches intently as the judges circle, awaiting a verdict(裁定) on her latest crop of
beans.
China may be the spiritual home of tea, but it is fast developing a reputation as a
top coffee producer. This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu'er International
Specialty Coffee Expo in China's southwestern Yunnan Province, which ran this
winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados(酷爱
者) from across the globe.
“Coffee has huge potential in China,” says Liu Ying, who swapped her life
working in privateequity(私人股权) investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er
five years ago. “The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much
more than tea.” Still, Pu'er remains synonymous with tea.
This bustling(喧闹的) town near the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills
scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu'er,
considered one of China's most refined. But the region's mild climate is also perfect
for growing Arabica coffee. And as China's fastliving millennials move away from
traditional tea in favour of the invigorating coffee, Pu'er's farmers are catering to the
demand.
Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest, with half coming from the
misty landscape around Pu'er. Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the
world—rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons annually today.
In April, Seattle's annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its
portrait country of origin. It follows on the heels of Starbucks' launching its first
single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan
farmers.
With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in
bespoke ways to create distinct flavours — allowing them to enter the market of
specialty coffee.
“At current coffee prices, I can't even feed my family,” says the farmer Yang.
“My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans.”
That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavour via
environmental fermentation(发酵), or allowing them to “honey” in their sugary
inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.
Back in the tasting room, Yang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that
extra__effort was worthwhile. “If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee,
nobody would argue with me,” says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu'er's Torch Coffee
Roasters, as Yang breaks into a huge grin. “ It's a great example of how Chinese
coffee is evolving.”
( )28. What caused Liu Ying to quit her former job to grow coffee in Pu'er?
A. Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest.
B. There is a huge potential of coffee market in China.
C. She wants to introduce the younger generation to coffee.
D. She is tired of her work in privateequity investment.
( )29. According to the passage, we know that Arabica coffee ________.
A. is mainly grown in Yunnan
B. appeals to Chinese, especially the young
C. is a more invigorating drink compared with tea
D. needs mild climate to grow
( )30. The “extra effort” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. processing coffee beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavours
B. forming a business partnership with Starbucks
C. lowering the price of Yunnan coffee beans
D. replacing Yunnan coffee with Colombian or Panama coffee
( )31. What does Samuel Gurel think of Yang's coffee beans?
A. Praiseworthy. B. Arguable. C. Inferior. D. Unsatisfactory.
D
Do you know the proverb “no pains, no gains”? It gives the impression that we
ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we're
putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with
study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?
When we haven't taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut
ourselves in a room with a book. It's no surprise that we find revision boring and
difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from
study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves
away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of
being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we
must study. This can be part of a vicious(恶性的) cycle that traps us into ineffective
revision, or poor progress fueling further annoyance.
Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against
that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(分心). It's not necessary to
avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in
conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or
working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it's also a good idea to avoid the
company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than
studying.

If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of
headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a
psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we
should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with
other people makes us happy, so it's important not to give that up and to make sure
that we take the time to socialise.
( )32. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A. To introduce an effective studying means.
B. To encourage us to work as hard as possible.
C. To remind us to balance activities and study.
D. To discuss the importance of family company.
( )33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.
B. Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.
C. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.
D. Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.
( )34. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?
A. One should learn from certain activities that interest us.
B. Playing video games is helpful for effective study.
C. One shouldn't study with the company of a video player.
D. The more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will
get.
( )35. What had you better do if you are studying in a noisy environment?
A. Give up others' company at once.
B. Think twice before taking any action.
C. Give indication of not wanting to be interrupted.
D. Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.
