Elon Musk has been talking about turning the social media platform Twitter into X for months, while being vague about what that exactly means. Does X represent a major business experiment? A totally new concept for on-line living? Or is it simply one man’s addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet?
Probably it’s all of the above, according to Ashlee Vance, the author of Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. In one of his earliest business adventures, Musk called his online bank X. com. That name was later dropped when the platform was bought by a competitor and became PayPal.
“Everyone tried to talk him out of naming the company that back then, but he really liked it and refused to give in,” said Vance.
X is already in the name of Tesla’s third electric car model, which was announced to the public in 2015. His spaceflight company is called SpaceX. In 2020, Musk even named his youngest son “X E A-12”.
But lately, naming his social media platform “X” may refer to Musk’s newest ambition, building an “everything app” like China’s popular WeChat. “He wants to create an app similar to how WeChat is used in China, where it’s part of day-to-day life. You use it to communicate, to consume news, to buy things, to pay your rent, to make appointments with your doctor and even to pay fines,” said Vance. “Following the WeChat model makes sense with what Musk wants for Twitter. The company clearly needs a new, bigger business if it’s to make the type of money that would justify his investment and satisfy his ambition.”
But social media experts are questioning about Musk’s “everything app”. “I’m not sure he has enough trust from his user base to get people to actually exchange money or attach any type of financial institution to his app,” Jennifer Grygiel, a professor at Syracuse University, told NPR. “I think this is a way to destroy it, instead of recreating it as something else.”
4. Which is closest in meaning to “vague” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Unspecific. B. Curious. C. Uninterested. D. Eager.
5. What does the X in “X E A-12” most probably stand for?
A. Musk’s plan to have 26 babies. B. Musk’s blind love for the letter X.
C. Musk’s doubt about his son’s DNA. D. Musk’s ambition to create a new business.
6. What does Ashlee Vance mean in paragraph 5?
A. Musk paid too much to buy Twitter. B. WeChat is more popular than Twitter.
C. X may indicate Musk’s new business plan. D. It is not safe to model X on China’s WeChat.
7. What is Jennifer Grygiel’s attitude to the “everything app”?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful.
C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
C
In Finland, it’s a basic duty for the government to provide the public with sporting possibilities. That thinking started in the 1970s, when the government built gyms in even the smallest towns. Now, there are about 30,000 sports facilities across the country. Walkways and bike paths snake through the cities. Public swimming pools are everywhere. Here you can just step out of your door and do sports.
Finns do just that. Half of women and a third of men bike to work. About a fifth of the country belongs to sports clubs. Some people even play sports at work. For example, every Wednesday morning, a group of scientists at the University of Jyväskylä leave their desks to play “futsal”, an indoor form of soccer, in a gym across the street. It’s one of the most popular team sports in the country, along with floor ball and Finnish baseball. A nearby chocolate factory has a gym and offers aerobics classes.
“Employers started to encourage sports participation about a century ago in the forestry industry,” says Hanna Vehmas, a sports scientist at the University of Jyväskylä. “Nowadays, 90% of employers support their employees’ physical activities in some way. Each year, they spend an average of about $220 per employee for physical activities.”
One reason why employers tend to support their employees’ physical activities is due to a tax break. Businesses can deduct (扣除) money spent on employees’ physical well-being.
“But there’s something else. We have a lot of research showing that spending money on employees’ well-being will bring back as much as six times the money spent,” says Vehmas. “Because healthy employees do better work. They also don’t have as many sick days. And staying fit, especially by playing sports together, could help build company loyalty (忠诚) which is actually even more important than the health side.”
Physically active people also save the health care system a lot of money. Data from the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs & Health shows that people who bike and walk save the health care system as much as $5.5 billion each year.
8. Why are the scientists at the University of Jyväskylä mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To tell the popularity of a unique sport.
B. To describe the process of an experiment.
C. To show the easy access to sports facilities.
D. To call for more public participation in sports.
9. When did the forestry industry start to encourage sports participation?
A. About 50 years ago. B. About 60 years ago.
C. About 80 years ago. D. About 100 years ago.
10. What does Hanna Vehmas say about the effort for employees’ physical well-being?
A. It is a waste of money. B. It brings in various benefits.
C. It takes too much time. D. It cuts workers’ productivity.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Can Finns Make Sports Part of Everyday Life?
B. Why Are There So Many Sports Facilities Across Finland?
C. Why Has Finland Become the Healthiest Country in the World?
D. How Can Employers in Finland Be Encouraged to Spend on Sports?
D
“Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later, it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally.
Then why did the woman refuse CPR? It is necessary for us to know what CPR can, and can’t, do.
The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR.
But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it.
However, it cannot be further from truth. In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150, 000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90.
The harm, as it turns out, can be very serious. Broken bones are the most common problem, but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage. The biggest problem is brain injury. When the heart stops, the brain begins to die within minutes. So about 30% of survivors will have significant mental disability. The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn’t received it.
12. About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, __________.
A. it started to be applied to humans
B. it was popularized in some professions
C. it became a necessary qualification for babysitters
D. it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins
13. Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on?
A. The failed cases. B. Its real effects.
C. Its important functions. D. The misunderstanding.
14. What did the 2010 study find about CPR?
A. The public was unwilling to accept it. B. It had much better effects on the elderly.
C. The average rate of survival remained low. D. It had to be carried out on time by professionals.
15. What is the most serious harm suffered by CPR survivors?
A. Hurt backs. B. Broken bones. C. Injured lung. D. Damaged brain.

It was a peaceful morning. Adam was on his usual jog at the local park, after which he had to ride his motorcycle home to drop his children - Amanda. 13, and Jared.8-to school. Owing to financial difficulties, he could not afford a car.
After his wife passed away six years ago, Adam was left alone to care for his children. Thankfully, his eldest daughter, Stacey, 22, would help with the breakfast preparation and get the kids ready every morning when he was out jogging.
Adam looked at his watch. He’d have to go home in thirty minutes. He finished another round of the park and was ready to leave when the sight of an elderly lady stopped him in his tracks.
She was struggling up the park stairs, and just as she neared the top, she lost her footing and fell back down, rolling awkwardly.
“Ma’ am!” Adam ran over to the woman quickly. “Are you OK?”
“I’m fine; it was just a little fall,” she replied, but Adam worried she wasn’t fine. He offered to call the ambulance, but she refused.
“Please let me take you to a nearby clinic on my motorcycle,” he said, offering his arm to her, and she agreed.
They began to chat on their way to the clinic, and the woman introduced herself as Alice. She said she had lost her husband, Frank, for a few years. Her husband was in a business that helped families move. After he passed away, his truck was parked in the garage.
Adam knew how it felt to lose a loved one and he opened up to Alice about his wife, too. As they reached the clinic, the doctor there told Alice that she was fine. Then Adam sent the woman home. Alice wanted to thank Adam so she asked for his address. “I just want to send you something for your kids, and thank you,” she said. Adam hesitantly gave her his address and hurried home to his children.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, Stacey’s voice awakened Adam.

Elon Musk has been talking about turning the social media platform Twitter into X for months, while being vague about what that exactly means. Does X represent a major business experiment? A totally new concept for on-line living? Or is it simply one man’s addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet?
Probably it’s all of the above, according to Ashlee Vance, the author of Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. In one of his earliest business adventures, Musk called his online bank X. com. That name was later dropped when the platform was bought by a competitor and became PayPal.
“Everyone tried to talk him out of naming the company that back then, but he really liked it and refused to give in,” said Vance.
X is already in the name of Tesla’s third electric car model, which was announced to the public in 2015. His spaceflight company is called SpaceX. In 2020, Musk even named his youngest son “X E A-12”.
But lately, naming his social media platform “X” may refer to Musk’s newest ambition, building an “everything app” like China’s popular WeChat. “He wants to create an app similar to how WeChat is used in China, where it’s part of day-to-day life. You use it to communicate, to consume news, to buy things, to pay your rent, to make appointments with your doctor and even to pay fines,” said Vance. “Following the WeChat model makes sense with what Musk wants for Twitter. The company clearly needs a new, bigger business if it’s to make the type of money that would justify his investment and satisfy his ambition.”
But social media experts are questioning about Musk’s “everything app”. “I’m not sure he has enough trust from his user base to get people to actually exchange money or attach any type of financial institution to his app,” Jennifer Grygiel, a professor at Syracuse University, told NPR. “I think this is a way to destroy it, instead of recreating it as something else.”
4. Which is closest in meaning to “vague” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Unspecific. B. Curious. C. Uninterested. D. Eager.
5. What does the X in “X E A-12” most probably stand for?
A. Musk’s plan to have 26 babies. B. Musk’s blind love for the letter X.
C. Musk’s doubt about his son’s DNA. D. Musk’s ambition to create a new business.
6. What does Ashlee Vance mean in paragraph 5?
A. Musk paid too much to buy Twitter. B. WeChat is more popular than Twitter.
C. X may indicate Musk’s new business plan. D. It is not safe to model X on China’s WeChat.
7. What is Jennifer Grygiel’s attitude to the “everything app”?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful.
C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道并探讨了Elon Musk把他新并购的社交媒体Twitter命名为X的原因。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词句及其后文“Does X represent a major business experiment? A totally new concept for on-line living? Or is it simply one man’s addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet? (X代表了一个重大的商业实验吗?一个全新的在线生活概念?还是仅仅是一个人对字母表中的第24个字母上瘾?)”一系列疑问可知,埃隆·马斯克一直在谈论将社交媒体平台推特变成X,但对X到底意味着什么并不明确。从而推知划线部分意思是“不明确的”。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Or is it simply one man’s addiction to the 24th letter of the alphabet? (还是仅仅是一个人对字母表中的第24个字母上瘾?)”和第三段中“Everyone tried to talk him out of naming the company that back then, but he really liked it and refused to give in (当时所有人都劝他不要给公司取这个名字,但他真的很喜欢这个名字,拒绝让步)”及Elon Musk旗下很多公司的名称中都带有X这一现象可推断,儿子名字“X E A-12”中的X最有可能代表着马斯克对字母X的偏爱。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“But lately, naming his social media platform “X” may refer to Musk’s newest ambition, building an “everything app” like China’s popular WeChat. “He wants to create an app similar to how WeChat is used in China, where it’s part of day-to-day life. You use it to communicate, to consume news, to buy things, to pay your rent, to make appointments with your doctor and even to pay fines,” said Vance. “Following the WeChat model makes sense with what Musk wants for Twitter. The company clearly needs a new, bigger business if it’s to make the type of money that would justify his investment and satisfy his ambition.” (但最近,将他的社交媒体平台命名为“X”可能是指马斯克的最新抱负,即打造一个像中国流行的微信一样的“万物应用”。万斯说:“他想创建一个类似于微信在中国的使用方式的应用程序,微信是中国日常生活的一部分。你用它来交流、消费新闻、购物、支付房租、预约医生,甚至支付罚款。”。“遵循微信模式对于马斯克对推特的期望是有意义的。如果公司要赚钱,证明他的投资是合理的,并满足他的雄心,那么它显然需要一个新的、更大的业务。”)”可知,Ashlee Vance 认为这个X可能代表Elon Musk的商业抱负。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But social media experts are questioning about Musk’s “everything app”. “I’m not sure he has enough trust from his user base to get people to actually exchange money or attach any type of financial institution to his app,” Jennifer Grygiel, a professor at Syracuse University, told NPR. “I think this is a way to destroy it, instead of recreating it as something else.” (但社交媒体专家对马斯克的“万物应用”提出了质疑。锡拉丘兹大学教授Jennifer Grygiel告诉美国国家公共电台:“我不确定他是否有足够的用户信任,让人们真正兑换货币或将任何类型的金融机构附加到他的应用程序中。”“我认为这是一种摧毁它的方式,而不是将其重新创造为其他东西。”)”可知,Jennifer Grygiel并不看好这个app的前景。故选B项。
C
In Finland, it’s a basic duty for the government to provide the public with sporting possibilities. That thinking started in the 1970s, when the government built gyms in even the smallest towns. Now, there are about 30,000 sports facilities across the country. Walkways and bike paths snake through the cities. Public swimming pools are everywhere. Here you can just step out of your door and do sports.
Finns do just that. Half of women and a third of men bike to work. About a fifth of the country belongs to sports clubs. Some people even play sports at work. For example, every Wednesday morning, a group of scientists at the University of Jyväskylä leave their desks to play “futsal”, an indoor form of soccer, in a gym across the street. It’s one of the most popular team sports in the country, along with floor ball and Finnish baseball. A nearby chocolate factory has a gym and offers aerobics classes.
“Employers started to encourage sports participation about a century ago in the forestry industry,” says Hanna Vehmas, a sports scientist at the University of Jyväskylä. “Nowadays, 90% of employers support their employees’ physical activities in some way. Each year, they spend an average of about $220 per employee for physical activities.”
One reason why employers tend to support their employees’ physical activities is due to a tax break. Businesses can deduct (扣除) money spent on employees’ physical well-being.
“But there’s something else. We have a lot of research showing that spending money on employees’ well-being will bring back as much as six times the money spent,” says Vehmas. “Because healthy employees do better work. They also don’t have as many sick days. And staying fit, especially by playing sports together, could help build company loyalty (忠诚) which is actually even more important than the health side.”
Physically active people also save the health care system a lot of money. Data from the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs & Health shows that people who bike and walk save the health care system as much as $5.5 billion each year.
8. Why are the scientists at the University of Jyväskylä mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To tell the popularity of a unique sport.
B. To describe the process of an experiment.
C To show the easy access to sports facilities.
D. To call for more public participation in sports.
9. When did the forestry industry start to encourage sports participation?
A. About 50 years ago. B. About 60 years ago.
C. About 80 years ago. D. About 100 years ago.
10. What does Hanna Vehmas say about the effort for employees’ physical well-being?
A. It is a waste of money. B. It brings in various benefits.
C. It takes too much time. D. It cuts workers’ productivity.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Can Finns Make Sports Part of Everyday Life?
B. Why Are There So Many Sports Facilities Across Finland?
C. Why Has Finland Become the Healthiest Country in the World?
D. How Can Employers in Finland Be Encouraged to Spend on Sports?
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在芬兰,政府和企业都积极支持体育活动,居民生活与体育紧密相连,这种生活方式为个人健康和国家医疗系统带来了诸多好处。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Here you can just step out of your door and do sports. (在这里,你可以走出家门,做运动)”和第二段中“For example, every Wednesday morning, a group of scientists at the University of Jyväskylä leave their desks to play “futsal”, an indoor form of soccer, in a gym across the street. It’s one of the most popular team sports in the country, along with floor ball and Finnish baseball. A nearby chocolate factory has a gym and offers aerobics classes.(例如,每周三早上,Jyväskylä大学的一群科学家离开办公桌,在街对面的体育馆里玩“五人制足球”,这是一种室内足球。它是芬兰最受欢迎的团队运动之一,与地板球和芬兰棒球齐名。附近的一家巧克力工厂设有健身房,并提供有氧运动课程)”可知,作者举这个例子是为了展示体育设施的便捷可达性。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““Employers started to encourage sports participation about a century ago in the forestry industry,” says Hanna Vehmas, a sports scientist at the University of Jyväskylä. (“大约一个世纪前,雇主开始鼓励林业行业参与体育运动,”Jyväskylä大学的体育科学家Hanna Vehmas说)”可知,林业是大约100年前开始鼓励体育参与的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中““But there’s something else. We have a lot of research showing that spending money on employees’ well-being will bring back as much as six times the money spent,” says Vehmas. “Because healthy employees do better work. They also don’t have as many sick days. And staying fit, especially by playing sports together, could help build company loyalty (忠诚) which is actually even more important than the health side.”(Vehmas说:“但还有其他事情。我们有很多研究表明,在员工福利上花钱会带来高达六倍的回报。”。“因为健康的员工工作得更好。他们也没有那么多的病假。保持健康,尤其是一起运动,可以帮助建立公司忠诚度,这实际上比健康方面更重要。”)”可知,Hanna Vehmas认为员工身体健康的努力带来各种好处:高达六倍的投资回报率、病假减少及更高的员工忠诚度。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其第一段中“In Finland, it’s a basic duty for the government to provide the public with sporting possibilities. That thinking started in the 1970s, when the government built gyms in even the smallest towns. Now, there are about 30,000 sports facilities across the country. Walkways and bike paths snake through the cities. Public swimming pools are everywhere. (在芬兰,政府的基本职责是为公众提供体育活动的可能性。这种想法始于20世纪70年代,当时政府甚至在最小的城镇都修建了健身房。现在,全国大约有3万个体育设施。人行道和自行车道蜿蜒穿过城市。公共游泳池随处可见。)”可知,文章主要介绍了芬兰如何将体育融入日常生活之中,政府和企业的支持对体育设施的普及和居民积极参与起到了重要作用。A选项“芬兰人如何让体育成为日常生活的一部分?”符合主题,故选A项。
D
“Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later, it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally.
Then why did the woman refuse CPR? It is necessary for us to know what CPR can, and can’t, do.
The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR.
But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it.
However, it cannot be further from truth. In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150, 000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90.
The harm, as it turns out, can be very serious. Broken bones are the most common problem, but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage. The biggest problem is brain injury. When the heart stops, the brain begins to die within minutes. So about 30% of survivors will have significant mental disability. The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn’t received it.
12. About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, __________.
A. it started to be applied to humans
B. it was popularized in some professions
C. it became a necessary qualification for babysitters
D. it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins
13. Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on?
A. The failed cases. B. Its real effects.
C. Its important functions. D. The misunderstanding.
14. What did the 2010 study find about CPR?
A. The public was unwilling to accept it. B. It had much better effects on the elderly.
C. The average rate of survival remained low. D. It had to be carried out on time by professionals.
15. What is the most serious harm suffered by CPR survivors?
A. Hurt backs. B. Broken bones. C. Injured lung. D. Damaged brain.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者试图纠正一些与心脏复苏术(CPR )相关的错误认知。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR.(心肺复苏术可以挽救生命的发现最早是在1878年在猫身上进行的实验中发现的。直到1959年,约翰霍普金斯大学的研究人员才将这种方法应用于人类。研究人员写道:“现在任何人,任何地方都可以做心肺复苏术。”“只需要两只手。”在20世纪70年代,为空乘人员开设了心肺复苏术课程,教练和保姆现在经常被要求学习心肺复苏术)”可推断,大约在CPR被发现一百年后,有些行业开始普及这一急救手段。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it.(但大多数人是从电视上了解心肺复苏术的。2015年,研究人员发现,电视上心肺复苏后的存活率为70%。在现实生活中,人们同样认为心肺复苏术后的存活率超过75%。这也许可以解释每个人都应该知道心肺复苏术,每个经历心脏病发作的人都应该接受它的态度)”可知,第四段中作者主要是聚焦于公众对CPR的错误认知及其根源:电视不合实际的宣传。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150, 000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years.

A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90.(2010年,一项涉及近15万患者的79项研究的综述发现,院外心脏病发作的平均存活率在30年里几乎没有变化。是7.6%。现场心肺复苏术可能会将这一几率提高到10%。住院心脏病患者接受心肺复苏术后的存活率略高,但仍只有17%左右。随着年龄的增长,这些数字会变得更糟。瑞典的一项研究发现,院外心肺复苏后的存活率从70多岁患者的6.7%下降到90岁以上患者的2.4%)”可知,2010年关于心肺复苏术的研究发现平均存活率仍然很低。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The biggest problem is brain injury.(最大的问题是脑损伤)”可知,CPR最严重的后遗症是脑损伤。故选D。

【16题详解】
根据下文“If anything ties us together culturally, it’s probably the TV shows and movies we watch, the celebrity gossip we read in magazines, the sports teams we follow daily. Best to avoid talking about politics, religion or how much people earn unless you are among close friends.(如果有什么东西在文化上把我们联系在一起,那可能是我们看的电视节目和电影,我们在杂志上读到的名人八卦,我们每天关注的运动队。最好避免谈论政治、宗教或人们挣多少钱,除非你们是亲密的朋友)”可知,这里主要谈到哪些话题适合闲谈及哪些话题应该回避。所以C项“Find suitable topics to start small talks(找合适的话题开始闲聊)”适合做本段的标题。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据空前“Popular culture is a huge influence around the world.(流行文化对世界有着巨大的影响)”及空后的具体实例可知,美国流行文化也影响着世界。D项“So it is hard not to be exposed to it abroad(因此,外国人很难不接触到美国流行文化)”正好起到了承前启后的作用。故选D。
【18题详解】
空前“The signature American speaking volume might be a shock at first.(一开始,美国人标志性的说话音量可能会让人感到震惊)”谈到美国喜欢闲谈,而且声音很大;空后“you will never run out of strange conversations to entertain each other.(你们永远不会没有奇怪的谈话来娱乐彼此)”则提到这些闲谈可以让大家彼此乐呵,所以E项“If you put any shyness aside and join in the small talks (只要你不害羞,加入这些闲聊)”符合。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据前文“We Americans aren’t satisfied with a purchase unless we’ re sure we got our money’s worth.(我们美国人是不会对买的东西感到满意的,除非我们确信我们花的钱物有所值)”可知,本段主要是谈美国人的嗜好之一:每个交易都得物有所值。所以A项“But it is a good deal(这是一笔不错的交易)”不但呼应了标题,也解释了美国人喜欢打包的原因。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Going against norms is in Americans’ blood, which explains the rule of being American: Be yourself.(违背常规是美国人的血液,这就解释了做美国人的原则:做你自己)”及空后“So when you’re in the US you should do it, too! Luckily for you, foreign accents make you the most interesting person at any party. (所以当你在美国的时候,你也应该这样做!幸运的是,外国口音会让你成为任何聚会上最有趣的人)”可知,空项应该是鼓励在美国的外国人理直气壮地展示自我。所以G项“Americans value their individuality and show it off unapologetically (美国人重视他们的个性,并毫不掩饰地炫耀)”符合。故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a peaceful morning. Adam was on his usual jog at the local park, after which he had to ride his motorcycle home to drop his children - Amanda. 13, and Jared.8-to school. Owing to financial difficulties, he could not afford a car.
After his wife passed away six years ago, Adam was left alone to care for his children. Thankfully, his eldest daughter, Stacey, 22, would help with the breakfast preparation and get the kids ready every morning when he was out jogging.
Adam looked at his watch. He’d have to go home in thirty minutes. He finished another round of the park and was ready to leave when the sight of an elderly lady stopped him in his tracks.
She was struggling up the park stairs, and just as she neared the top, she lost her footing and fell back down, rolling awkwardly.
“Ma’ am!” Adam ran over to the woman quickly. “Are you OK?”
“I’m fine; it was just a little fall,” she replied, but Adam worried she wasn’t fine. He offered to call the ambulance, but she refused.
“Please let me take you to a nearby clinic on my motorcycle” he said, offering his arm to her, and she agreed.
They began to chat on their way to the clinic, and the woman introduced herself as Alice. She said she had lost her husband, Frank, for a few years. Her husband was in a business that helped families move. After he passed away, his truck was parked in the garage.
Adam knew how it felt to lose a loved one and he opened up to Alice about his wife, too. As they reached the clinic, the doctor there told Alice that she was fine. Then Adam sent the woman home. Alice wanted to thank Adam so she asked for his address. “I just want to send you something for your kids, and thank you,” she said. Adam hesitantly gave her his address and hurried home to his children.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The next morning, Stacey’s voice awakened Adam. “Dad! Quick! Something weird is happening outside!” Rubbing his eyes, Adam approached the bedroom window and spotted a moving truck parked near his driveway. When he stepped outside, he was surprised to see Alice beside the truck. “Alice, what is this?” he asked, approaching her. “A little gift from me to thank you for your kindness,” she said, patting the truck.
At first, Adam wanted to refuse Alice’s truck. But her gift could case his financial worries, so he accepted it. After she left, he and his children began to look through the truck. The children were so excited to have a truck since there was no means of transport except a second-hand motorcycle. They asked their dad to go for a drive. Adam agreed. Along the way, the family laughed to their hearts’ content. It was the first time that Adam had been so happy since her wife’s death. He felt grateful for Alice’s generosity.
