“You learn a lot by almost dying,” David always says. In fact, he learns enough!
In 2010, David, a sophomore from the medical school of Pennsylvania got very sick and the diagnosis was Castleman — a rare condition with approximately 7,000 new cases annually in the US. In hospital, David noticed curious red spots on his skin. He asked doctors what the blood spots meant. “They went out of their way to say they didn’t matter,” said David, but he would go on to prove he was on to something.
Castleman struck David four more times over the next three years. David stayed alive only through intense chemotherapy. Despite the illness, he managed to graduate and began an MBA at Penn’s Wharton School, where he founded the CDCN — a global initiative devoted to fighting Castleman. Many of his MBA classmates joined the cause. David hoped that adding a CEO mindset would enable him to scale up his approach to curing himself. CDCN prioritized clinical trials that repurposed drugs the FDA (美国药监局) had already approved as safe rather than starting from scratch.
In 2013, another attack marked his closest brush with death yet. This time, David saved his own life. After examining his medical charts, he targeted an idea that researchers hadn’t yet explored: A protein called VECF which controls blood vessel growth was spiking at 10 times its normal level. David hypothesized that the red spots with every recurrence were a direct result of that protein spike. David asked his doctor to prescribe Sirolimus, a drug approved to help fight the immune system when it activates against kidney transplants. He picked it up at a pharmacy. “A drug that could potentially save my life was hiding in plain sight,” he said.
So far, David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years, close to full strength. As an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given him his life back. “So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit!”
24. What can we know about the CDCN?
A. It’s a domestic organization in the USA.
B. It recruited members beyond the medical field.
C. It’s founded when David was a medical student.
D. It prioritized clinical trials on newly-applied drugs.
25. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. David’s recovered from Castleman completely.
B. David’s doing further research on Sirolimus.
C. Sufficient investments are put in Castleman research.
D. High likelihood of bearing fruit is in Castleman research.
26. According to the text, which one is right?
A. Sirolimus has certain effectiveness for Castleman.
B. There’re roughly 7,000 Castleman cases in the US.
C. David suffered Castleman recurrence four times totally.
D. Red spots on David’s skin caused an increase in VECF levels.
27. What can we learn from David’s experience?
A. No pains, no gains. B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. God helps those who help themselves.
C
The twelve new restaurants added to the New York Michelin Guide this month will be casting their success. Being included in the handbook is the first step towards receiving a Michelin star, the most desirable award in the cuisine industry. Yet according to a study recently published in the Strategic Management Journal, restaurants might be better off remaining starless.
Daniel Sands of University College London’s school of management tracked the fortunes of restaurants that opened in New York in 2000 – 2014 and won the honor of being included in the guide. He found that, of this promising group, restaurants which went on to get a Michelin star were more likely to close down in the years that followed than those which did not. The relationship remained even when factors such as location, price and type of cuisine were taken into account. All considered, 40% of restaurants awarded Michelin stars in 2005 – 2014 had closed by the end of 2019.
A Michelin star boosts publicity: the study found that Google search rose by over a third for newly-starred restaurants. But that fame comes at a price. First, Mr. Sands argues, the restaurants’ customers change. Being the focus of public attention raises diners’ expectations and brings in tourists from farther away. Meeting guests’ greater demands adds to new costs. Second, businesses the restaurants deal with, such as ingredient suppliers and landlords, use the opportunity to charge more.
Food is not the only industry where awards are a mixed blessing. Several studies have shown that companies run by award-winning bosses underachieve relative both to their previous performance and to their opponents. In publishing, too, awards bring disaster. Prize-winning books are reviewed more severely than before their success, and worse than runners-up.
For restaurants that are in the industry for the glory, Michelin’s top award will probably remain too inviting not to pursue. But for those simply wanting to stay in business, it may be safer to not quite meet the criterion.
28. What can be learned about winning a Michelin star from paragraph 1?
A. It does not necessarily benefit winners.
B. It has not been fully appreciated.
C. It leads to being included in the guide.
D. It is a huge success worth celebrating.
29 What is true about the restaurants researched by Daniel?
A. 40% of them suffered close down by the end of 2019.
B. They have been in business for at least two decades.
C. All of them were New York-based establishments.
D. Some went out of business due to the unfavorable location.
30. What does the author intend to show by mentioning prize-winning books?
A. Critics review them unfairly.
B. Runners-up are better written.
C. Competition in publishing is fierce.
D. Fame seldom comes without a price.
31. What’s the author’s suggestion for restaurants?
A. Pursue the top award at all costs.
B. Be aware of the potential danger.
C. Decide based on their own needs.
D. Follow suit in the cuisine business.
D
Scientists have studied gossip defined as talking about someone not present for decades. That’s not surprising given the activity’s near universality in any social group, big or small. People in modern societies spend about an hour a day immersed in chin-wagging, one study reports. But investigators are now approaching this fixture of social life from a new perspective.
In past decades, researchers focused primarily on the damage arising from gossiping, and they zeroed in on either the gossip spreader or the target — the person being talked about. Now, they have changed course by looking more at the benefits of gossip and the dynamics of a three-part network that involves a gossiper, a listener and a target.
So what, if anything, can be good about gossip? Whenever someone confides something to you about someone you both know — whether the information is positive, negative or neutral — it brings the two of you closer, creating a social bond. According to one study, it even increases your liking for the spreader of the information. Plus, it enforces group norms. For example, complaints about a co-worker who puts smelly banana peels in the paper trash are likely to get back to them and let them know that the conduct is not acceptable.
Another experiment was led by social psychologist Terence Cruz, then at Free University Amsterdam. Cruz and his team recruited 300 people in a community in the Netherlands and asked them to list 15 people with whom they had frequent contact. Four times each day for 10 days, the subjects were asked to report on any information that someone in their social network told them, or that they told someone, about a third person.
The experiment showed that the gossiper passed on true information when they had no conflict of interest with the target. When they had a rivalry or other conflict with the target, however, they were likelier to pass on things that were self-serving or absolutely false. Nevertheless, one of the most surprising results of gossip, Cruz says, is that it helps people better understand the behavior of others. For example, a co-worker shows up late every day, but if they learn through gossip that the offending colleague is in the middle of a divorce or the like, they are less likely to complain. Perhaps more importantly, they sympathize with the co-worker and feel motivated to help the miserable guy.
32. What is the new perspective investigators now adopt?
A. Analyze the new feature of social life. B. Focus on the benefits of chin-wagging.
C. Investigate the potential risks of gossip. D. Look at either the spreader or the target.
33. What impact might gossip have according to paragraph 3?
A. It fuels the popularity of the target. B. It betters the workplace environment.
C. It offends the privacy of co-workers. D. It enhances the overall social bond.
34 What does Cruz’s research find?
A. An average person contacts 15 people frequently.
B. Gossips tend to spread incorrect information.
C. One can never keep their privacy from colleagues.
D. Workplace relationships can benefit from gossip.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Bad Name, Not Necessarily Bad Thing B. Double-Edged Sword, Aid Plus Harm
C. The Bitter Truth about Chin-Wagging D. The Unsaid Intention behind Gossip

On a warm summer evening, my wife and I were on our way to the grocery store, when I noticed a man sitting on the pavement under a street light. Something about him made us stop. He sat motionless with his gaze blankly fixed on an object only he could see. His beard was long and messy, so was the hair on his head. A discarded advertisement banner wrapped rudely around his waist was his only protection. The vacant look in his eyes indicated he was possibly incapable of normal mental function.
We tried asking him a few questions, but he showed no signs of having heard or understood us. He just sat there, staring into the darkness, ignorant of our presence. It was quite apparent that he was a beggar in need of help and we thought a while about what we could do. “He looks starving,” my wife remarked, “but there is no point in giving him money.” I agreed. “We’ll buy him a loaf of bread instead,” I suggested.
It took us a while to finish our shopping. When we returned to the spot where we had first seen the beggar, he wasn’t there. We looked around, but there was no sign of him. Disappointed, we decided to go home, wondering what to do with the loaf of bread. We’d barely gone a hundred meters when we spotted the beggar in the distance: he crossed the road and was seated with a family of migrant labourers outside a shabby tent. Surprisingly, none of the family members seemed to mind this unexpected guest’s presence. In fact, he looked to be quite welcome. The family had accepted him without question, just as if he were a visiting relative or a close friend.

He bought the house in 1902, a decade after his marriage and lived here ever since. During that time, he’d become one of the most famous writers in the English-speaking world and did some of his most successful writing here. Now, please look at the map I’ve given you of the house and gardens. We’re here at the Information Center. Follow the path marked with arrow and the first area you come to is the orchard on your left. As you go further down the path and go around the first corner you will find, to your left, an area where different types of pear trees have been planted as well as some lovely flowers, and this is known as Pear Alley, designed by George himself. Next to this is the greenhouse where some foreign plants and fruits are grown. Past the greenhouse, follow the path until you reach the front of the house. If you would like to purchase any of George’s books or other souvenirs, then leave the house by the side entrance, where you will find the tourist shop. Enjoy your visit!

“You learn a lot by almost dying,” David always says. In fact, he learns enough!
In 2010, David, a sophomore from the medical school of Pennsylvania got very sick and the diagnosis was Castleman — a rare condition with approximately 7,000 new cases annually in the US. In hospital, David noticed curious red spots on his skin. He asked doctors what the blood spots meant. “They went out of their way to say they didn’t matter,” said David, but he would go on to prove he was on to something.
Castleman struck David four more times over the next three years. David stayed alive only through intense chemotherapy. Despite the illness, he managed to graduate and began an MBA at Penn’s Wharton School, where he founded the CDCN — a global initiative devoted to fighting Castleman. Many of his MBA classmates joined the cause. David hoped that adding a CEO mindset would enable him to scale up his approach to curing himself. CDCN prioritized clinical trials that repurposed drugs the FDA (美国药监局) had already approved as safe rather than starting from scratch.
In 2013, another attack marked his closest brush with death yet. This time, David saved his own life. After examining his medical charts, he targeted an idea that researchers hadn’t yet explored: A protein called VECF which controls blood vessel growth was spiking at 10 times its normal level. David hypothesized that the red spots with every recurrence were a direct result of that protein spike. David asked his doctor to prescribe Sirolimus, a drug approved to help fight the immune system when it activates against kidney transplants. He picked it up at a pharmacy. “A drug that could potentially save my life was hiding in plain sight,” he said.
So far, David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years, close to full strength. As an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given him his life back. “So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit!”
24. What can we know about the CDCN?
A. It’s a domestic organization in the USA.
B. It recruited members beyond the medical field.
C. It’s founded when David was a medical student.
D. It prioritized clinical trials on newly-applied drugs.
25. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. David’s recovered from Castleman completely.
B. David’s doing further research on Sirolimus.
C. Sufficient investments are put in Castleman research.
D. High likelihood of bearing fruit is in Castleman research.
26. According to the text, which one is right?
A. Sirolimus has certain effectiveness for Castleman.
B. There’re roughly 7,000 Castleman cases in the US.
C. David suffered Castleman recurrence four times totally.
D. Red spots on David’s skin caused an increase in VECF levels.
27. What can we learn from David’s experience?
A. No pains, no gains. B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. God helps those who help themselves.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了David患病后,主动探究红斑病因,自行研究病历提出新观点并求药治疗,还创办CDCN组织抗击疾病。他全程积极自救,努力为攻克疾病做贡献。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite the illness, he managed to graduate and began an MBA at Penn’s Wharton School, where he founded the CDCN — a global initiative devoted to fighting Castleman. Many of his MBA classmates joined the cause. David hoped that adding a CEO mindset would enable him to scale up his approach to curing himself. CDCN prioritized clinical trials that repurposed drugs the FDA (美国药监局) had already approved as safe rather than starting from scratch.(尽管身患疾病,他还是顺利毕业了,并开始在宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院攻读工商管理硕士学位。在那里,他发起了一项全球性的倡议——卡斯尔曼病研究网络(CDCN),致力于对抗卡斯尔曼病。他的许多MBA同学都加入了这项事业。大卫希望具备首席执行官的思维方式能让他扩大自己的治疗方案。卡斯尔曼病研究网络优先开展对美国药监局已批准安全的药物进行重新利用的临床试验,而非从头开始研发新药)”可知,很多他学MBA的同学加入了这个组织,说明CDCN招募了医学领域之外的成员,故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit!”(“像卡斯尔曼病这样的罕见疾病上投入的时间和金钱太少了,”大卫说,“改变这种状况的机会很大,有很多唾手可得的成果!”)”可推知,大卫认为在卡斯尔曼病研究方面有很大的机会取得成果,故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“David asked his doctor to prescribe Sirolimus, a drug approved to help fight the immune system when it activates against kidney transplants.(大卫要求医生给他开西罗莫司,这是一种经批准的药物,当免疫系统对肾脏移植产生激活作用时,可以帮助对抗免疫系统)”以及最后一段中“So far, David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years, close to full strength. As an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given him his life back.(到目前为止,大卫的卡斯尔曼病已经缓解了六年多,身体几近完全恢复。作为宾夕法尼亚大学的一名助理教授,他正在对一种让他重获新生的药物进行临床试验)”可知,A选项“西罗莫司对卡斯尔曼病有一定疗效”正确。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit!”(“像卡斯尔曼病这样的罕见疾病上投入的时间和金钱太少了,”大卫说,“改变这种状况的机会很大,有很多唾手可得的成果!”)”以及大卫患病后,主动探究红斑病因,自行研究病历提出新观点并求药治疗,还创办CDCN组织抗击疾病。他全程积极自救,努力为攻克疾病做贡献,完美诠释“自助者天助”,故选D。
C
The twelve new restaurants added to the New York Michelin Guide this month will be casting their success. Being included in the handbook is the first step towards receiving a Michelin star, the most desirable award in the cuisine industry. Yet according to a study recently published in the Strategic Management Journal, restaurants might be better off remaining starless.
Daniel Sands of University College London’s school of management tracked the fortunes of restaurants that opened in New York in 2000 – 2014 and won the honor of being included in the guide. He found that, of this promising group, restaurants which went on to get a Michelin star were more likely to close down in the years that followed than those which did not. The relationship remained even when factors such as location, price and type of cuisine were taken into account. All considered, 40% of restaurants awarded Michelin stars in 2005 – 2014 had closed by the end of 2019.
A Michelin star boosts publicity: the study found that Google search rose by over a third for newly-starred restaurants. But that fame comes at a price. First, Mr. Sands argues, the restaurants’ customers change. Being the focus of public attention raises diners’ expectations and brings in tourists from farther away. Meeting guests’ greater demands adds to new costs. Second, businesses the restaurants deal with, such as ingredient suppliers and landlords, use the opportunity to charge more.
Food is not the only industry where awards are a mixed blessing. Several studies have shown that companies run by award-winning bosses underachieve relative both to their previous performance and to their opponents. In publishing, too, awards bring disaster. Prize-winning books are reviewed more severely than before their success, and worse than runners-up.
For restaurants that are in the industry for the glory, Michelin’s top award will probably remain too inviting not to pursue. But for those simply wanting to stay in business, it may be safer to not quite meet the criterion.
28. What can be learned about winning a Michelin star from paragraph 1?
A. It does not necessarily benefit winners.
B. It has not been fully appreciated.
C. It leads to being included in the guide.
D. It is a huge success worth celebrating.
29. What is true about the restaurants researched by Daniel?
A. 40% of them suffered close down by the end of 2019.
B. They have been in business for at least two decades.
C. All of them were New York-based establishments.
D. Some went out of business due to the unfavorable location.
30. What does the author intend to show by mentioning prize-winning books?
A. Critics review them unfairly.
B. Runners-up are better written.
C. Competition in publishing is fierce.
D. Fame seldom comes without a price.
31. What’s the author’s suggestion for restaurants?
A. Pursue the top award at all costs.
B. Be aware of the potential danger.
C. Decide based on their own needs.
D. Follow suit in the cuisine business.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Yet according to a study recently published in the Strategic Management Journal, restaurants might be better off remaining starless.(然而,根据《战略管理杂志》最近发表的一项研究,餐厅可能更适合保持无星级状态)”可知,获得米其林星级并不一定对餐厅有利。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Daniel Sands of University College London’s school of management tracked the fortunes of restaurants that opened in New York in 2000 – 2014 and won the honor of being included in the guide.(伦敦大学学院管理学院的丹尼尔・桑兹追踪了2000至2014年在纽约开业并获得被列入指南殊荣的餐厅的命运)”可知,Daniel研究的餐厅都是纽约的餐厅。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“In publishing, too, awards bring disaster. Prize-winning books are reviewed more severely than before their success, and worse than runners-up.(在出版行业,奖项也会带来灾难。获奖书籍在成功后受到的评论比之前更严苛,甚至比未获奖的作品更差)”可推知,作者通过提及获奖书籍,是想说明名声往往是有代价的。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For restaurants that are in the industry for the glory, Michelin’s top award will probably remain too inviting not to pursue. But for those simply wanting to stay in business, it may be safer to not quite meet the criterion.(对于那些投身餐饮行业是为了追求荣耀的餐厅来说,米其林的顶级奖项或许依旧极具吸引力,令人难以抗拒。但对于那些仅仅想维持经营的餐厅而言,不完全达到获奖标准可能更为稳妥)”可推知,作者建议餐厅根据自己的需求来决定是否追求米其林星级。故选C。
D
Scientists have studied gossip defined as talking about someone not present for decades. That’s not surprising given the activity’s near universality in any social group, big or small. People in modern societies spend about an hour a day immersed in chin-wagging, one study reports. But investigators are now approaching this fixture of social life from a new perspective.
In past decades, researchers focused primarily on the damage arising from gossiping, and they zeroed in on either the gossip spreader or the target — the person being talked about. Now, they have changed course by looking more at the benefits of gossip and the dynamics of a three-part network that involves a gossiper, a listener and a target.
So what, if anything, can be good about gossip? Whenever someone confides something to you about someone you both know — whether the information is positive, negative or neutral — it brings the two of you closer, creating a social bond. According to one study, it even increases your liking for the spreader of the information. Plus, it enforces group norms. For example, complaints about a co-worker who puts smelly banana peels in the paper trash are likely to get back to them and let them know that the conduct is not acceptable.
Another experiment was led by social psychologist Terence Cruz, then at Free University Amsterdam. Cruz and his team recruited 300 people in a community in the Netherlands and asked them to list 15 people with whom they had frequent contact. Four times each day for 10 days, the subjects were asked to report on any information that someone in their social network told them, or that they told someone, about a third person.
The experiment showed that the gossiper passed on true information when they had no conflict of interest with the target. When they had a rivalry or other conflict with the target, however, they were likelier to pass on things that were self-serving or absolutely false. Nevertheless, one of the most surprising results of gossip, Cruz says, is that it helps people better understand the behavior of others. For example, a co-worker shows up late every day, but if they learn through gossip that the offending colleague is in the middle of a divorce or the like, they are less likely to complain. Perhaps more importantly, they sympathize with the co-worker and feel motivated to help the miserable guy.
32. What is the new perspective investigators now adopt?
A. Analyze the new feature of social life. B. Focus on the benefits of chin-wagging.
C. Investigate the potential risks of gossip. D. Look at either the spreader or the target.
33. What impact might gossip have according to paragraph 3?
A. It fuels the popularity of the target. B. It betters the workplace environment.
C. It offends the privacy of co-workers. D. It enhances the overall social bond.
34. What does Cruz’s research find?
A. An average person contacts 15 people frequently.
B. Gossips tend to spread incorrect information.
C. One can never keep their privacy from colleagues.
D. Workplace relationships can benefit from gossip.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Bad Name, Not Necessarily Bad Thing B. Double-Edged Sword, Aid Plus Harm
C. The Bitter Truth about Chin-Wagging D. The Unsaid Intention behind Gossip
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家对八卦的研究视角从过去的负面影响转向其社会功能和积极意义,探讨了八卦在强化社交纽带、规范群体行为及增进理解方面的作用。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In past decades, researchers focused primarily on the damage arising from gossiping, and they zeroed in on either the gossip spreader or the target — the person being talked about. Now, they have changed course by looking more at the benefits of gossip and the dynamics of a three-part network that involves a gossiper, a listener and a target.(在过去的几十年里,研究人员主要关注八卦带来的损害,并将焦点集中于八卦传播者或目标人物——即被谈论的人。现在,他们转变了研究方向,更多地关注八卦的好处以及涉及八卦传播者、听众和目标人物这三方网络的动态关系)”可知,研究者现在采用的新观点是关注八卦的好处。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Whenever someone confides something to you about someone you both know — whether the information is positive, negative or neutral — it brings the two of you closer, creating a social bond. According to one study, it even increases your liking for the spreader of the information. Plus, it enforces group norms. For example, complaints about a co-worker who puts smelly banana peels in the paper trash are likely to get back to them and let them know that the conduct is not acceptable.(每当有人向你吐露你们都认识的某个人的事情时——无论这些信息是积极的、消极的还是中性的——它都会拉近你们俩的距离,建立起一种社会纽带。根据一项研究,它甚至会增加你对信息传播者的喜爱。此外,它还强化了群体规范。例如,抱怨同事把有臭味的香蕉皮扔进废纸篓,可能会让他们知道这种行为是不可接受的)”可知,八卦能拉近双方距离,形成社交纽带,还能通过规范群体行为来改善环境,比如对同事不恰当行为的抱怨会让其明白行为不当,从而改善工作场所环境,故八卦可以改善工作环境。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Nevertheless, one of the most surprising results of gossip, Cruz says, is that it helps people better understand the behavior of others. For example, a co-worker shows up late every day, but if they learn through gossip that the offending colleague is in the middle of a divorce or the like, they are less likely to complain. Perhaps more importantly, they sympathize with the co-worker and feel motivated to help the miserable guy.(然而,克鲁兹说,八卦最令人惊讶的结果之一是,它能帮助人们更好地理解他人的行为。例如,一个同事每天都迟到,但如果他们通过八卦得知这个冒犯他的同事正在离婚或类似的事情中,他们就不太可能抱怨了。也许更重要的是,他们同情同事,并感到有动力去帮助这个可怜的家伙)”可知,克鲁兹的研究发现职场关系可以从八卦中获益。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In past decades, researchers focused primarily on the damage arising from gossiping, and they zeroed in on either the gossip spreader or the target — the person being talked about. Now, they have changed course by looking more at the benefits of gossip and the dynamics of a three-part network that involves a gossiper, a listener and a target.(在过去的几十年里,研究人员主要关注八卦带来的损害,并将焦点集中于八卦传播者或目标人物——即被谈论的人。现在,他们转变了研究方向,更多地关注八卦的好处以及涉及八卦传播者、听众和目标人物这三方网络的动态关系)”以及文章先介绍了过去人们对八卦主要关注其危害,如今发现八卦有诸多好处,如拉近人际关系、强化群体规范、助力理解他人等,整体重点在于纠正人们对八卦的片面认知,强调它并非全然是坏事。故A选项“坏名声,不一定是坏事”能够概括文章的主旨,是文章的最佳标题。故选A。

Divide your task.
_____37_____ The fear of failing to accomplish enormous assignments on time may paralyse you. Also, if your work schedule is too tight, you’ll end up doing nothing. It is always better to tear the whole task apart into achievable tasks. Achieving one task at a time will help fuel your enthusiasm.
____38____
People all have that one WHY inside which helps push one work hard to attain a certain goal. It can be anything like financial freedom, trying to prove yourself, a desire to make an impact or simply having something meaningful in life. Finding your WHY will help you connect with your goal on a deeper level.
Visualize your success

G. Here comes a four-part approach that can channel your inner enthusiasm
【答案】36. F 37. E 38. A 39. D 40. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种维持动力、激发热情的方法,包括分解任务、找到动力源、设想成功和保持灵活性。
【36题详解】
由上文“Do you start something and then leave it midway? Do you feel an enthusiastic rush at the beginning but lose motivation after some time? If so, don’t worry. (你是否开始做某件事然后半途而废?你是否在一开始时充满热情,但过了一段时间就失去动力了呢?如果是这样,别担心。)”可知,上文提出了开始做事后半途而废、失去动力的问题并表示别担心,空格处应是给出解决办法。F项“The following four methods can be adopted to sustain your motivation (可以采用以下四种方法来维持你的动力)”符合此处语境,The following four methods引出了下文要介绍的四种方法,sustain your motivation对应上文失去动力的问题,有承上启下作用。故选F项。
【37题详解】
由小标题“Divide your task (分解你的任务)”及下文“The fear of failing to accomplish enormous assignments on time may paralyse you.(担心不能按时完成大量任务可能会使你陷入瘫痪)”可知,把任务看成一个整体会带来不好的影响,所以要分解任务。E项“It can be overwhelming to look at a task as a whole (把一个任务看成一个整体可能会让人不知所措)”符合语境,说明了整体看待任务的弊端,引出下文分解任务的原因。故选E项。
【38题详解】
此空为小标题,根据下文“People all have that one WHY inside which helps push one work hard to attain a certain goal.(每个人内心都有一个‘为什么’,它能帮助推动一个人努力工作以实现某个目标)”可知,这里强调要找到推动自己努力的内在原因,即找到动力来源。A项“Find your source (找到你的动力源)”符合语境,能概括本段内容。故选A项。
【39题详解】
由上文“Keep a record of everything that you do. You can write it in your journal and you can also record your next steps.(记录你所做的每一件事。你可以把它写在日记里,也可以记录你的下一步计划)”可知,记录所做的事和下一步计划很重要。D项“Tracking your goals fuels your driving force (追踪你的目标能激发你的动力)”符合语境,其中Tracking与上文Keep a record of 相呼应,说明追踪目标(记录相关内容)能激发动力。故选D项。
【40题详解】
由小标题“Be flexible (保持灵活性)”及下文“while being flexible keeps you moving on (而保持灵活性能让你继续前进)”可知,这里是在对比固执和灵活的不同结果。B项“Being stubborn just leads to frustration (固执只会导致挫败感)”符合语境,与下文形成对比,强调固执的坏处,突出灵活性的重要性。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了2024 巴黎奥运会落幕,中国 “00 后” 运动员如邓雅文、张雨霏等大放异彩,凭自信夺金,彰显中国体育进步,展现积极心态,融合中国价值观与奥运精神,传递体育深层意义 。
【56题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:2024年巴黎奥运会于8月11日落下帷幕,展示了从18岁的自由式小轮车运动员邓雅文到23岁的游泳运动员张雨霏这些中国“00后”令人印象深刻的才华。“___ 1____impressive talents of China’s ‘post-00s’”为名词短语,且“of China’s ‘post-00s’”特指中国“00后”群体的才华,因此应是用定冠词 the。故填the。
【57题详解】
考查介词和固定短语。句意:这些年轻运动员以自信的比赛态度给全球观众留下了深刻印象。“impress sb. with sth”为固定短语,其含义为“用……给某人留下深刻印象”。故填with。
【58题详解】
考查时态和被动。句意:从一开始,运动员和观众就分享了许多难忘的时刻。所填动词作句子的谓语动词,结合时间状语“since the beginning”可知,使用现在完成时;且主语“many unforgettable moments”与动词“share”之间为被动关系,用现在完成时被动语态结构:have been done。故填 have been shared。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句引导词。句意:观众们为他们的胜利欢呼,并安慰那些失败的人。“___4____ fell short”为之前“those(那些人)”的定语从句,先行词those指人,且在从句中作主语,应是用who引导从句。故填who。
【60题详解】
考查过去分词作定语。句意:通过在曾经由西方运动员主导的项目中获得金牌,这些年轻的参赛者在中国体育格局中取得了显著的进步。“____5____ (dominate) by Western athletes”为之前名词“events”的后置定语,动词用非谓语形式;且“dominate”与名词“events”之间为被动关系,用过去分词作后置定语。故填dominated。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些年轻运动员表现出的积极心态同样引人注目。这里用副词来修饰形容词 “remarkable”,作其状语。“equal”是形容词,意为“平等的”,其副词形式为“equally(同样地)”,置于句首,首字母大写。故填Equally。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然它们体现了奥林匹克格言“更快、更高、更强在一起”,但人们对胜利的看法发生了转变,认为胜利是对奥林匹克精神真正本质的认可。空处作宾语,“recognize”,为动词,意为“认可”,其名词形式是“recognition(认可)”,冠词a提示用其单数形式。故填recognition。
【63题详解】
考查现在分词作伴随状语。句意:在奥运舞台上,这些年轻人秉承着中国体育的骄傲传统,同时展示了一个自信开放的中国的新形象,展示了中国价值观与奥林匹克精神的深度融合——这不仅仅是更快、更高、更强,更是以积极的态度拥抱体育。“____8____ (demonstrate) the deep integration”为伴随状语,主语“these young people”与动词“demonstrate(展示)”之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式作伴随状语。故填demonstrating。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意:在奥运舞台上,这些年轻人秉承着中国体育的骄傲传统,同时展示了一个自信开放的中国的新形象,展示了中国价值观与奥林匹克精神的深度融合——这不仅仅是更快、更高、更强,更是以积极的态度拥抱体育。分析可知,“it’s not just about being faster, higher, stronger(这不仅仅是关于更快、更高、更强)”和“___9__about embracing sports with a positive attitude as well(包括以积极的态度拥抱体育)”是并列关系;同时结合“not just”可推知,这里用“not just...but...”,其意思是“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【65题详解】
考查强调句。句意:正是这种体育精神向人类传达了田径运动的更深层次的意义,使奥运会成为最伟大的全球体育运动。分析句子可知,将句中的“It’s”去掉后,“this sportsmanship conveys the deeper meaning of athletics to humanity…”句子结构和句意完整,因此这里是强调句,句式结构为“It is/was +被强调部分+ that +其他部分”,该句强调主语“this sportsmanship”。故填that。

67. 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。
On a warm summer evening, my wife and I were on our way to the grocery store, when I noticed a man sitting on the pavement under a street light. Something about him made us stop. He sat motionless with his gaze blankly fixed on an object only he could see. His beard was long and messy, so was the hair on his head. A discarded advertisement banner wrapped rudely around his waist was his only protection. The vacant look in his eyes indicated he was possibly incapable of normal mental function.
We tried asking him a few questions, but he showed no signs of having heard or understood us. He just sat there, staring into the darkness, ignorant of our presence. It was quite apparent that he was a beggar in need of help and we thought a while about what we could do. “He looks starving,” my wife remarked, “but there is no point in giving him money.” I agreed. “We’ll buy him a loaf of bread instead,” I suggested.
It took us a while to finish our shopping. When we returned to the spot where we had first seen the beggar, he wasn’t there. We looked around, but there was no sign of him. Disappointed, we decided to go home, wondering what to do with the loaf of bread. We’d barely gone a hundred meters when we spotted the beggar in the distance: he crossed the road and was seated with a family of migrant labourers outside a shabby tent. Surprisingly, none of the family members seemed to mind this unexpected guest’s presence. In fact, he looked to be quite welcome. The family had accepted him without question, just as if he were a visiting relative or a close friend.

【答案】范文
Curious, I stopped my motorcycle and watched with my wife. The family had gathered around an open fire over which a lady was roasting meat. A dish of steaming rice and a pot of curry completed the menu. The beggar was eating hungrily from an aluminum plate — identical to the ones from which the family partook their meals. The lady kept an eye on him, making sure that his plate was not empty. The other members of the family chatted happily as they ate, smiling as they watched him dig into the food clumsily, dropping something onto his chest and then to the ground. The roasted meat disappearing faster than the cheerful lady could make them.
These were people who had no roof over their heads. These were people who lived from one day to the next in the hope of getting some work. These were people who tried their best to earn some money to keep their tummies from growling. We watched for a while. Then, overcome with guilt, we placed the loaf of bread near the man and rode away, but not before learning the true meaning of giving and sharing. That family was far from wealthy, but they shared what they had, not something they had no use for, or something they could easily afford, like a loaf of bread!
