B Dr. Myron Rolle, who shifted to his childhood dream of becoming a neurosurgeon (神经外科医生) after his National Football League (NFL) career was stopped. He grew up in New Jersey. At 11 he’d read Gifted Hands, Ben Carson’s popular 1990 autobiography. It detailed how Carson went from being an inner-city youth with poor grades to the director of neurosurgery. After reading it, Rolle started running after two dreams. He wanted to be a professional football player and a neurosurgeon like Carson. For years, the neurosurgeon dream lay dormant. Rolle stood out playing as a defensive back for Florida State University (FSU). The Titans drafted him in 2010. But the football dream didn’t go as planned. Rolle played in no regular-season NFL games. The Titans parted ways with him in 2011. He returned home to New Jersey, where he sank into a panic. His mother showed him his grade-school notebook. He saw where he had written both goals. “She looked me straight in the eyes and pointed at the first one,” he recalled. “She said, ‘This one’s done. Now we need to do this.’” “It was the most depressed I’ve been in my life,” he said. When asked how much he struggled with giving up his NFL dream, he referred to the 2 percent philosophy that he picked up from his football coach at FSU — Can you be 2 percent better than you were yesterday? You can if you take small steps every single day toward a larger goal. “If you look at the outside, you will see my story as maybe something that is unable to achieve. I played in the NFL and I was a Rhodes Scholar and now a neurosurgeon. But doubts and uncertainty really went throughout my life. Dealing with work-life balance issues or challenges in the workplace — I just found ways to overcome these challenges.” 24. What inspired Myron Rolle to struggle for his dreams when he was young? A. The popularity of Gifted Hands. B. The story of NFL games. C. Ben Carson’s struggling experience. D. Ben Carson’s failure lesson. 25. What do the underlined words “lay dormant” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Came true. B. Went smooth. C. Fell apart. D. Lay aside. 26. What was the most disappointing moment for Myron Rolle? A. Giving up the football dream. B. Going back to his hometown. C. Letting his mother down. D. Seeing the former notebook. 27. What can we learn from Rolle’s words in the last paragraph? A. Challenges bring precious opportunities. B. Everything happens for some reason. C. When one door closes, another opens. D. Enthusiasm keeps one’s dream coming true. C Children exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. A new study from Southern Methodist University psychologist Sarah Kucker and her colleagues reveals that passive video use among children can negatively affect language development, but their caregiver’s motivations for exposing them to digital media could also lessen the impact. Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child’s words, sentences, and how much time they spent on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chats, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared. Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children’s media use. These factors were then compared to the children’s vocabulary and length using two or more words together. The research reveals a negative association between high levels of digital media watching and children’s vocabulary development. However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections — such as through video chats with family members. Kucker acknowledges that parents often use digital media to occupy children while they complete tasks. She suggests that caregivers need to consider what kind of videos and how much their children are watching, and whether they can interact with them during this period. Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development. 28. What is the potential impact of being exposed to videos by caregivers on children? A. It enhances their vocabulary development. B. It has no significant effect on their language skills. C. It leads to the use of shorter phrases and sentences. D. It encourages them to read print books more often. 29. What do paragraphs 2 and 3 tell us about the study? A. Its research process. B. Its theoretical basis. C. Its underlying logic. D. Its scientific evidence. 30. Under what circumstance can the negative impact be lessened? A. When children focus on tasks. B. When children get involved in the content. C. When videos function as entertainment. D. When videos aid learning and bond building. 31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To point out the significance of the study. B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies. C. To present the practical application of the findings. D. To discuss other affecting factors of babies’ growth. D As an adult, one of the first questions you are asked when meeting someone new is, “What do you do?” This is because your career is a very important part of who you are. The career you have defines your life, and so taking time to think about it is an essential exercise for young people. One of the most effective ways to get some insight on a possible career path is to complete a “career aptitude (才能) test”. There are many different kinds of career aptitude tests. Some ask questions about your personal interests and attitudes. Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios (场景), like working as a librarian or a lawyer. Of course, while completing these sorts of tests, it is very important to be honest — and don’t worry — there are no right or wrong answers. One popular test asks the participants to grade their preferences for a variety of work tasks. Their answers are then analyzed and divided up between six different types of work personalities. The participant is then given a chart showing their score for each type of work personality. The top three scores are used to make a code that indicates the participant’s overall work personality. This code is then used to generate a list of career suggestions. The career suggestions are also based on your education and experience level, but you can look at higher-level careers as well, which is very useful for high school students. For example, you could look at the basic careers to see what work you might like now, and then look at the more advanced careers so you know what you may like to aim for in the future. This is a great tool to help plan your career and let you know what targets you need to reach to get there. In conclusion, career aptitude tests are clearly a very useful tool. So try a few tests online and start thinking about your future career right now! 32．Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1? A．To support an idea. B．To introduce a topic. C．To define a profession. D．To clarify a new concept. 33．What can we learn about the career aptitude test? A．It determines your future career. B．It should be answered truthfully. C．It stresses the accuracy of test answers. D．It only cares about personal interests and attitudes 34．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The theory of coding. B．The advice on career planning. C．The variety of work personalities. D．The process of a career aptitude test. 35．What does the author suggest us doing? A．Changing our jobs frequently. B．Upgrading our levels of education. C．Following the career advice strictly. D．Pursuing advancement in our careers. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays hair loss is a common concern for many young people in China, and it can be caused by a variety of factors. 36 One common cause of hair loss in young people is genetics.

Emma, with her curious eyes shining, asked me about my friendship with Lucy. Without thinking, I said, “I only hung out with Lucy because she wanted me to, but I didn’t really want to be friends with her. She was kind of boring.” Unluckily, I didn’t know Lucy was nearby. When I looked up, she was right there, having heard everything. Her face turned pale, and her eyes got big with surprise. She didn’t say anything and ran off. Emma and I just stood there, feeling bad. I knew I should go after Lucy and say sorry, but I was too shocked to move. Emma’s face turned red too. We walked home without talking, and it felt like our steps were getting heavier. The next days were hard. I felt really bad about what I said and wanted to fix things with Lucy. I needed to say sorry. But what should I say? Even though I didn’t mean to, I hurt Lucy’s feelings. Every time I saw her at school, I looked away quickly. Then, something interesting happened in our speaking class. On Tuesday, Ms. Julia said we would do pre-class speeches. She had written our topics on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. We had to pick one without knowing what it was. I was a bit nervous. When I reached into the box, I pulled out a paper that said, “Tell your most embarrassing moment.” My heart was beating fast. It felt like I was given a chance to make things right. I spent the next few days practicing my speech, trying to find the right words to apologize to Lucy. I wanted to be sincere and show her I was sorry. When the day of the speech came, I was still nervous, but I knew it was important to face my mistake. I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story, hoping it would help me and Lucy move forward. 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。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the stage.

My hands were clammy, and my voice quivered at first. "My most embarrassing and regretful moment was when I betrayed my friend Lucy's trust. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I said cruel words about her. I was wrong, and I've been haunted by my actions ever since. Lucy, you are an amazing friend, full of warmth and kindness. I am truly sorry for causing you pain." As I spoke, I stole glances at Lucy. Her eyes glistened, and she bit her lip. That day marked a turning point. After my speech, Lucy walked up to me with a soft smile. "Your apology means a lot," she said. "I know you didn't mean those words." From that day on, we became inseparable. We laughed together, cried together, and built a friendship that was stronger than ever. This experience taught me that true friends forgive, and every relationship is worth fighting for. 听力原材料 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
