Donating blood gives a ray of hope to someone in need. That’s why Josephine Michaluk, an
81-year-old woman from Canada, is devoted to helping others in this way. In fact, she is the record holder
for the most units of blood donated in a lifetime.
Michaluk’s kindness all began in 1965 at the age of 22 when she attended a blood donation event with
her sister. Since then, she has been devoted to donating blood for as long as her body allows her to. Last
year, at the age of 80, she officially earned the Guinness World Records title for the most whole blood
donated by a female. She had donated 203 pints (品脱) of blood at that point. Thus far, she has reached a
total of 209 blood donations, and she isn’t done yet.
The inspiring woman continues to maintain over four donations annually. Her O+ blood type is highly
desired in medical settings, as it is a more universal match than any other positive blood types. The Red
Cross Donation states that O+ makes up 38% of the population in the United States. This generous
woman’s contributions continue to help reinforce the supply of blood that can be life-saving.
The kindhearted Canadian mentions the physical examination that is completed before any donation.
This may include checking blood pressure, hemoglobin (血红蛋白) levels, and pulse rate of the potential
donor. Even after donating a pint of blood, Michaluk mentions that she feels refreshed.
Each donation of a pint from start to finish takes about 75 minutes. Throughout her lifetime, Michaluk
has spent roughly 15, 675 minutes donating blood. She intends to go ahead to help others as long as she can.
Photographed with a shirt that reads, “Are you the type to save a life?” she challenges others to step outside
of their comfort zone to help people around the world.
24. What can we learn about Michaluk from the first two paragraphs?
A. She donates blood for material rewards.
B. She is eager to become a record holder.
C. She was encouraged by her sister to donate blood.
D. She will continue to donate blood if physically fit.
25. What does the underlined word “reinforce” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A. Balance. B. Influence. C. Strengthen. D. Ensure.
26. What is a possible reason for mentioning how Michaluk feels in paragraph 4?
第 5 页 共 11 页
A. To draw attention to the health of the elderly.
B. To explain the process of physical examination.
C. To prove blood donation suits people of all ages.
D. To serve as an inspiration to others to donate blood.
27. What does the author think of Josephine Michaluk?
A. Generous. B. Humorous. C. Talented. D. Independent.

People send messages every day on social media. These online conversations can have a huge impact
and shape how societies make decisions. But there is a growing problem. Sometimes people don’t listen to
each other and can say really hurtful things. Would it be better if there were an advisor in online talks? We
tried to use artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) to carry out this task.
So, we did an online experiment with pairs of people discussing a challenging topic. In the first group,
one participant (参与者) in each pair had an AI helper. The AI tried to make sure the discussion was polite
and respectful. It didn’t change the participant’s point of view, though! The participant could accept or
refuse the suggestions or completely edit the message an AI helper offers. In the control group, the people
had a conversation on the same topic but neither of the participants had an AI helper. After the discussions
ended, the pairs shared their thoughts on how good the conversation was.
In our study, the participants accepted the AI’s suggestions two thirds of the time. When they used the
AI’s suggestions, the messages became more positive and polite. Participants whose partners used the AI
reported feeling better about the conversation. They were more willing to understand and respect each
other, even if they still disagreed. The people who used the AI themselves didn’t report a huge change in
how they felt about the conversation. However, they were more willing to respect the opinions of others!
The results of our study show that AI did a good job of making online discussions polite. But you
don’t need a reminder to be respectful. Even in the vast digital world, each conversation matters. Your
choice to be kind and respectful can make a big difference. It can promote a culture of healthy discussion
and understanding. This is also true for real-life conversations.
28. What do the underlined words “this task” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. Starting talks. B. Guiding conversations.
C. Changing views. D. Sending messages.
29. What do we learn about participants with AI helpers?
A. They responded to AI politely. B. They changed views as AI suggested.
第 6 页 共 11 页
C. They tended to respect others’ views. D. They experienced mixed feelings.
30. What does the author want to stress in the last paragraph?
A. The effectiveness of AI in online discussions.
B. The significance of respectful communication.
C. The importance of reminders in conversations.
D. The balance between technologies and choices.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Can Al remove mean posts? B. Can AI make online talks kinder?
C. How to respect different opinions? D. How to reach an agreement online?
D
Maths is all around us, from working out how to share the bill after a meal to calculating (计算) your
household bills. Some people love the challenge of working out maths problems, but many fear the
moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry. It can seem
discouraging, but this ‘maths anxiety’ is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway,
our worries and fears don’t necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are
nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to
be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and
16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense
and nervous doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult.
Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving
students, particularly girls, good role models “is significant, especially at a young age”. She thinks the key
is to get people, especially women who love teaching maths, to teach younger children.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says “It’s not clear why maths gives rise to so much fear
compared to geography. But the fact that there’s a right or wrong answer might make you more worried
about underperforming.” And once we assume we’re not a ‘maths person’, we avoid solving things that we
probably could do.
Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to work out why mental calculation can bring us out in a
sweat. That fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears clearly can
loosen their hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat (威胁). We
need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
第 7 页 共 11 页
32. Regarding “maths anxiety” in paragraph 1, the author thinks ______.
A. it is unique B. it is formal C. it is common D. it is necessary
33. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Girls are better at maths than boys.
B. Maths classes are difficult for all students.
C. Students’ anxiety results entirely from teachers.
D. Confidence in maths needs developing in childhood.
34. What will be a potential result if one thinks he is not a ‘maths person’?
A. He will rise to challenges. B. He will learn maths harder.
C. He will be doubtful about his ability. D. He will not see maths as a threat.
35. What are children advised to do according to the last paragraph?
A. Track sources of maths fear regularly. B. Speak fears out for improvement bravely.
C. Explore causes of failure in maths carefully. D. Quit challenges to avoid anxiety actively.

余选项。
I used to think the whole purpose of life was seeking happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness
was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, and that beautiful apartment.
____36____ Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology (心理) to learn what
truly makes people happy.
And what’s the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists
define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good at the moment. ____37____ The famous
psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond
yourself and from developing the best within you. There are four pillars (支柱) of a meaningful life.
The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you’re valued for
who you are by nature and where you value others as well. ____38____
For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same
thing as finding the job that makes you happy. ____39____ For example, a hospital nurse told me her
purpose is helping sick people become healthy again.
The third pillar of meaning is about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way:
transcendence (卓越). It is a state where you feel connected to a higher reality, and your sense of self fades
第 8 页 共 11 页
away.
The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself about yourself. It helps you understand how
you became you.
____40____ But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you
something to hold on to. That’s the power of meaning.
A. Meaning, though, is deeper.
B. Happiness comes and goes.
C The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others.
D. It’s happiness that our culture attaches great importance to.
E. But instead of ever feeling happy, I felt anxious and aimless.
F. Purpose motivates individuals to develop and achieve success.
G. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.

Sam McGee picked up the phone and phoned the number he’d called every year. He had the same

(福特野马跑车) that had been sold in 1973?
Since 2001, the answer had always been no, although the words varied from direct ____42____ to
“maybe someday” to “I’ll think about it”.

had left a hole in his family. Being a Mustang fan himself, McGee felt it his duty to ____44____ the family
vehicle. “I want to honor my grandmother in this way,” he said.
Finding the owner of the car was not a (n) ____45____ task — it took him almost 10 years. The
____46____ moment came in 2001 when a couple ____47____ that their family had bought the car nearly
30 years earlier and still had it. ____48____, they told McGee they had no intention to sell it, although he
could call every year to keep asking.
McGee did so ____49____.
Over the years, he was _____50_____ to know that while the car had 53, 000 miles on it, it had all the
original parts and had been _____51_____ maintained.

Then May of the year rolled around. McGee made his _____52_____ call, hoping they would take

Humans like to think of themselves as individuals, capable of making their own decisions without
consulting anyone else. They 56 (prize) for their ability to stand out, blaze their own path, and
create their own style. However, underneath this originality lies a deep-rooted 57 (eager) to fit in.
That’s 58 teen peer pressure is so hard for kids to resist.
Studies suggest that peer pressure from a child’s friends becomes more significant during
adolescence. The pressure grows 59 (great), and the things teens are pressured to do become more
dangerous. Besides, teens are born to connect with peers and struggle for belonging. As they mature and
gradually become independent, 60 (gain) the approval of others in their age group becomes
increasingly important. 61 , some teens will follow their peers to make an unwise choice in order to
第 10 页 共 11
feel accepted.
But how much social pressure a teen feels depends on who they spend time with. 62
universally recognized study in the journal Developmental Psychology found that teens who spent time
with 63 who don’t engage in unhealthy behaviors are less likely to misbehave themselves. In
other words, teens 64 (surround) with peers who would share their values and don’t behave in
destructive ways, are less likely to engage in harmful acts, without 65 they could have healthy
bodies and rosy futures.

W: A family in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn is looking for a weekend family helper for their two children,
ages 4 and 7 years old. The growing family will soon welcome their third child in September. The
position starts as soon as possible. You only need to work on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The
general schedule will be from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Job responsibilities include providing a safe and
positive environment for the children, school drop-off and pick-up on Fridays. It’s just a 20-minute
walk each way. You also need to take the children to play—the park and activities, prepare meals
including lunches, dinners, and snacks, and keep the common areas extremely clean, and tidy—in
particular the kitchen. There are also some more tasks. The couple will tell you about them after you
begin to work. Now I’d like to tell you about the requirements. You need to have worked as a nanny for
at least 2 years. And local residents only. The pay is 35 dollars per hour. If you’re interested, please call
us at 917-770-0142.
