I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually got the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 17%. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I made a speech, I always had a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and change other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.
39. Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?
A. To get a position. B. To employ more clerks.
C. To arrange an interview. D. To make an advertisement.
40. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2?
A. Generous and passionate. B. Anxious and successful.
C. Able and strong-minded. D. Optimistic and cheerful.
41. Why did the author leave Merrill Lynch?
A. Because he hoped to go back to college. B. Because he wanted to influence others.
C. Because he was treated badly. D. Because his business was not successful.
42. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Dare to Take Risks B. Hard work Pays Off
C. Challenge Your Career Choice D. Speaking Makes a Satisfying Job

Are online friendships “real” friendships? It’s reasonable to suspect that online friendships would share some benefits of face-to-face friendships but not others, and several studies have put that idea to the test.
One study published by researchers from UC San Diego, Northeastern University, Harvard University and Yale University suggests that online social activity, like face-to-face interactions, is associated with better health, and longer life.
It found that several types of social media activity were linked to reduced death rate. The strongest correlation was for activities like posting photos that were related to in-person social interactions. Activities unrelated to in-person interactions, like messaging, were associated with death rate non-linearly — that is, people who engaged in these activities in moderation (适度) were the least likely to die, with people who engaged the most and least frequently having a higher death rate.
Online friendships can also provide a lifeline for people who struggle to find social support in real life. Different studies have found that online friendships have advantages for deaf and hard of hearing, and lonely and socially anxious youth. Online conversations contributed to their sense of belonging and their openness in sharing personal thoughts. However, it’s not good news across the board about online interactions. Perhaps unsurprisingly, prioritizing online friendships and spending more time communicating online has been linked to a higher risk for Internet addiction.
Altogether, these findings suggest that a healthy balance between online and off line social interactions is best. In the words of the authors who published the study looking at deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students’ online friendships: A combination of online and off line friendship seems to be the most important friendship type for both hearing and D/HH students and it is worthwhile to encourage this friendship type.
43. What does the test focus on according to paragraphs 1-2?
A. Whether online friendships have some benefits.
B. How face-to-face friendships affect our behaviors.
C. Connections between online activities and longer life.
D. Differences between online friendships and face-to-face ones.
44. What does the underlined word “correlation” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Proof. B. Analysis. C. Reflection. D. Association.
45. Which is an advantage of online friendships for D/HH teenagers?
A. A chance to express themselves.
B. The ability to develop social skills.
C. The access to latest news worldwide.
D. An approach to practicing using the Internet.
46. Which of the following does the author agree with most?
A. Online friendships are less suitable to D/HH students.
B. D/HH students shouldn’t spend time on online friendships.
C. A balance between online and offline friendships is a must.
D. Online friendships have more disadvantages than advantages.
【答案】43. A 44. D 45. A 46. C

Using dozens of cameras set up throughout Sweden’s big forests, weeks-long live broadcasts (电视节目) of deer and other wild animals have caught Swedish audiences’ hearts. As three deer nervously come to a lake on screen, comments on the live TV program flood in. “Go on!”; “Jump in!”; “They’re beautiful!” The program Den stora älgvandringen has attracted a large community that watches and comments on the animals’ every move.
Den stora älgvandringen is another example of the so-called “slow TV”, where things are just left to happen at their own pace (节奏). Broadcast for a few weeks each spring on TV and online, the video is recorded in real time from a control room lined with screens. Teams work day and night to offer different viewpoints from 30 cameras, some of which can be controlled from a distance. “We can’t decide what happens. We don’t want everything to be perfect. I mean that this is nature and anything can happen. And we really want to show what it is like,” producer Johan Erhag said. “On all the social media, most things are very stressful. There’s a lot of music in programs. There’s a lot of speaking. But this program is the totally opposite way.”
A hunter in his spare time, Persson said he enjoys the slow and natural pace of the show. “It’s kind of calming and also interesting. It’s basically wind blowing and you are waiting for something hopefully to show up. You might think that a day spent waiting would be a day lost but it’s not. Instead, it could be an activity that is quite healthy for more people,” Persson said.
“After watching the program, I find there are many things to look at and feel about nature,” Anders Lindberg, a columnist said. “The whole idea of sitting and watching nothing happening for hours in nature is wonderful. We can practice meditation (冥想), which ] think for many people is something they lack in big cities. Nature could be a powerful tool used to bridge the gap between the mind and the body, making us feel close to the world around us.”
47. What is special about Den stora älgvandringen?
A. It features animals’ fun activities.
B. It follows wild animals’ life in a natural way.
C. It records animal experiments in natural settings.
D. It uses digital sound effects to impress the viewers.
48. What does Persson say about the program?
A. It teaches him to protect animals.
B. It gives him a sense of achievement.
C. It brings him pleasure and relaxation.
D. It causes him to pay attention to health.
49. How can the program benefit people according to Anders Lindberg?
A. By showing humans’ role in wildlife care.
B. By raising their interest in outdoor activities.
C. By speeding up local tourism development.
D. By encouraging a deeper connection with nature.
50. What can be a suitable title for the text?

阅读表达
It was just an ordinary workday for Evoni Williams, an 18-year-old employee at Waffle House in La Marque, Texas. The place was busy, as usual, with a continuous flow of customers coming in and out. Then, a 78-year-old customer reached out to her asking for help with his food. The customer, who lived far from family support, had difficulty using his hands, so he was unable to cut his food.
Despite the restaurant being packed with customers and many tasks at hand, Evoni didn’t hesitate - she helped the man. Little did she know that her act of kindness was noticed by another customer, Laura Wolf, who found the scene unbelievable. Laura shared this heartwarming story online, and it quickly spread over the Internet, touching the hearts of many.
What Evoni regarded as just a simple action was, in fact, an important one that positioned her for a brighter future. Her kindness captured the attention of Texas Southern University, which awarded her with a $16,000 scholarship. It was reported that Evoni was working at the restaurant to raise money for college, and the university’s recognition was absent from her plans, making it an unexpected blessing.
In an interview, Evoni said she did nothing extraordinary. The thought has proved that she’s really kind and that helping others is something she does naturally and something she’s used to. Nowadays, with everyone focusing on their own tasks, Evoni’s action to stop and help stood out.
It makes sense that her kindness story resonated(引起共鸣) widely.

Travel is sometimes inconvenient and impossible for some people. However, museums around the world are digitalizing (使数字化) their collections, enabling people to tour the museums from afar.
The British Museum, London
The British Museum contains objects from around the world, including the Rosetta Stone, with three versions of a text that helped researchers learn to read ancient Egyptian (古埃及语). The Great Court’s ceiling, in the middle of the museum, is composed of 3212 pieces of glass, none of which are alike. The virtual tour of the museum offers a 360-degree view of the room, allowing visitors to look at every piece.
The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County
This museum, with locations in two different places, features art going back to The Neolithic Period. Its virtual tour, accessible through Google Arts & Culture, offers views of more recent works, including some by Van Gogh and Renoir. Another platform, Xplorlt, also features views of some of the museum’s outdoor spaces.
MASP, São Paulo
The first modern museum in Brazil, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo includes art from the 14th to the 20th centuries. The paintings, which are placed on glass panels, appear to be floating in mid-air. This setup, included in the virtual tour shows, makes the art appear almost magical.
National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea
This Korean museum includes four branches in different cities and features works of art from Korea and around the world. The art includes a variety of media such as print, sculpture and photography. There are also online exhibitions such as “Artists in Their Times” which traces trends in Korean art since the late 1970s.

I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually got the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 17%. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I made a speech, I always had a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and change other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.
39. Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?
A. To get a position. B. To employ more clerks.
C. To arrange an interview. D. To make an advertisement.
40. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2?
A. Generous and passionate. B. Anxious and successful.
C. Able and strong-minded. D. Optimistic and cheerful.
41. Why did the author leave Merrill Lynch?
A. Because he hoped to go back to college. B. Because he wanted to influence others.
C. Because he was treated badly. D. Because his business was not successful.
42. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Dare to Take Risks B. Hard work Pays Off
C. Challenge Your Career Choice D. Speaking Makes a Satisfying Job
C
Are online friendships “real” friendships? It’s reasonable to suspect that online friendships would share some benefits of face-to-face friendships but not others, and several studies have put that idea to the test.
One study published by researchers from UC San Diego, Northeastern University, Harvard University and Yale University suggests that online social activity, like face-to-face interactions, is associated with better health, and longer life.
It found that several types of social media activity were linked to reduced death rate. The strongest correlation was for activities like posting photos that were related to in-person social interactions. Activities unrelated to in-person interactions, like messaging, were associated with death rate non-linearly — that is, people who engaged in these activities in moderation (适度) were the least likely to die, with people who engaged the most and least frequently having a higher death rate.
Online friendships can also provide a lifeline for people who struggle to find social support in real life. Different studies have found that online friendships have advantages for deaf and hard of hearing, and lonely and socially anxious youth. Online conversations contributed to their sense of belonging and their openness in sharing personal thoughts. However, it’s not good news across the board about online interactions. Perhaps unsurprisingly, prioritizing online friendships and spending more time communicating online has been linked to a higher risk for Internet addiction.
Altogether, these findings suggest that a healthy balance between online and off line social interactions is best. In the words of the authors who published the study looking at deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students’ online friendships: A combination of online and off line friendship seems to be the most important friendship type for both hearing and D/HH students and it is worthwhile to encourage this friendship type.
43. What does the test focus on according to paragraphs 1-2?
A. Whether online friendships have some benefits.
B. How face-to-face friendships affect our behaviors.
C. Connections between online activities and longer life.
D. Differences between online friendships and face-to-face ones.
44. What does the underlined word “correlation” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Proof. B. Analysis. C. Reflection. D. Association.
45. Which is an advantage of online friendships for D/HH teenagers?
A. A chance to express themselves.
B. The ability to develop social skills.
C. The access to latest news worldwide.
D. An approach to practicing using the Internet.
46. Which of the following does the author agree with most?
A. Online friendships are less suitable to D/HH students.
B. D/HH students shouldn’t spend time on online friendships.
C. A balance between online and offline friendships is a must.
D. Online friendships have more disadvantages than advantages.

Using dozens of cameras set up throughout Sweden’s big forests, weeks-long live broadcasts (电视节目) of deer and other wild animals have caught Swedish audiences’ hearts. As three deer nervously come to a lake on screen, comments on the live TV program flood in. “Go on!”; “Jump in!”; “They’re beautiful!” The program Den stora älgvandringen has attracted a large community that watches and comments on the animals’ every move.
Den stora älgvandringen is another example of the so-called “slow TV”, where things are just left to happen at their own pace (节奏). Broadcast for a few weeks each spring on TV and online, the video is recorded in real time from a control room lined with screens. Teams work day and night to offer different viewpoints from 30 cameras, some of which can be controlled from a distance. “We can’t decide what happens. We don’t want everything to be perfect. I mean that this is nature and anything can happen. And we really want to show what it is like,” producer Johan Erhag said. “On all the social media, most things are very stressful. There’s a lot of music in programs. There’s a lot of speaking. But this program is the totally opposite way.”
A hunter in his spare time, Persson said he enjoys the slow and natural pace of the show. “It’s kind of calming and also interesting. It’s basically wind blowing and you are waiting for something hopefully to show up. You might think that a day spent waiting would be a day lost but it’s not. Instead, it could be an activity that is quite healthy for more people,” Persson said.
“After watching the program, I find there are many things to look at and feel about nature,” Anders Lindberg, a columnist said. “The whole idea of sitting and watching nothing happening for hours in nature is wonderful. We can practice meditation (冥想), which ] think for many people is something they lack in big cities. Nature could be a powerful tool used to bridge the gap between the mind and the body, making us feel close to the world around us.”
47. What is special about Den stora älgvandringen?
A. It features animals’ fun activities.
B. It follows wild animals’ life in a natural way.
C. It records animal experiments in natural settings.
D. It uses digital sound effects to impress the viewers.
48. What does Persson say about the program?
A. It teaches him to protect animals.
B. It gives him a sense of achievement.
C. It brings him pleasure and relaxation.
D. It causes him to pay attention to health.
49. How can the program benefit people according to Anders Lindberg?
A. By showing humans’ role in wildlife care.
B. By raising their interest in outdoor activities.
C. By speeding up local tourism development.
D. By encouraging a deeper connection with nature.
50. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sweden calls for wildlife protection.
B. A realistic nature TV show attracts attention.
C. The beauty of Swedish forests comes into sight.
D. Directors show their creativity in a slow TV program.

It was just an ordinary workday for Evoni Williams, an 18-year-old employee at Waffle House in La Marque, Texas. The place was busy, as usual, with a continuous flow of customers coming in and out. Then, a 78-year-old customer reached out to her asking for help with his food. The customer, who lived far from family support, had difficulty using his hands, so he was unable to cut his food.
Despite the restaurant being packed with customers and many tasks at hand, Evoni didn’t hesitate - she helped the man. Little did she know that her act of kindness was noticed by another customer, Laura Wolf, who found the scene unbelievable. Laura shared this heartwarming story online, and it quickly spread over the Internet, touching the hearts of many.
What Evoni regarded as just a simple action was, in fact, an important one that positioned her for a brighter future. Her kindness captured the attention of Texas Southern University, which awarded her with a $16,000 scholarship. It was reported that Evoni was working at the restaurant to raise money for college, and the university’s recognition was absent from her plans, making it an unexpected blessing.
In an interview, Evoni said she did nothing extraordinary. The thought has proved that she’s really kind and that helping others is something she does naturally and something she’s used to. Nowadays, with everyone focusing on their own tasks, Evoni’s action to stop and help stood out.
It makes sense that her kindness story resonated(引起共鸣) widely.
