A
Is an Electric Vehicle fight for you?
Many people will ask themselves that question for the first time this year. Prices are falling, battery range is rising and mainstream brands are adding new EVs at a breakneck pace.
Here are three things anybody seriously considering buying an EV should know:
1. The price to install (安装) a 240v charger
Anybody who owns an electric vehicle needs a 240-volt charger at home. With one, you can recharge overnight, so you start every day with the equal amount of a full tank.
Just a few years ago, home 240v EV chargers cost $2,500-$3,000, including installation, but prices have declined as competition grows with the number of EVs on the road.
2. The time it takes to charge
About 80% of miles driven in EVs are powered by electricity charged at home but you’ll need to charge elsewhere occasionally. That’s when charging time becomes a big deal, but how long it takes depends on a couple of factors.
First, voltage (电压) from the charger. Getting 250 miles of range in seven hours from a 240v charger is fine when you re charging overnight at home, but it’s a problem if you’re going 300 miles for a weekend trip. In that case, you’ll want to look for a 400v fast charger. They’re not as common as 240v public chargers yet, but they’re becoming more widespread.
There’s another factor: the on-board charger It regulates how fast the battery can accept electricity. A vehicle with a higher-capacity on-board charger accepts electricity faster.
3. Where to charge
Good route-planning apps will help you find chargers on a road trip easily.
“Most people have no idea how many public charging stations are within, say, a 10-or 15-mile radius (半径) because they’re small, people don’t look for them or even don’t know what to look for, and they’re rarely signposted,” said journalist John Voelcker, who has studied EVs and charging exhaustively.
4. On the horizon
If an EV doesn’t meet your needs now, watch this space. They’re coming closer. but large numbers of gasoline vehicles will remain in production for years. Beyond that, companies will keep making spare parts for oil-burners for decades.
36. What is the primary benefit of having a 240-volt charger at home for EV owners?
A. It allows for faster travel. B. It enables overnight recharging.
C. It reduces the cost of electricity. D. It increases the battery capacity.
37. What is a significant factor affecting how long it takes to charge an EV?
A. The speed of the vehicle. B. The weight of the vehicle.
C. The type of battery used. D. The voltage from the charger.
38. According to the article, how do most people feel about public charging stations?
A. They find them easy to locate.
B. They are well aware of their locations.
C. They often underestimate their availability.
D. They prefer to use home chargers completely.
39. What does the article suggest about the future of gasoline vehicles?
A. They will be completely disappear in a few years.
B. They will continue to be produced for years.
C. They will become more expensive than EVs.
D. They will have better technology than EVs.
40. This passage is mainly intended to .
A. offer advice on purchasing an electric vehicle.
B. illustrate the factors charging time depends on.
C. look forward to the future of electric vehicles.
D. explain the reason for the falling prices of electric vehicles.
B
During my graduate studies, countless workshops taught me one thing: To make it in science, one must design and carry out big projects. As I established my own research lab, a senior colleague encouraged me to try something big. So when I landed an associate professor position, my goal seemed obvious: I should perform big projects. This was the only way to lay a foundation for a successful academic research career. The path, however, would not be as clear as I had pictured.
When I contacted famous researchers to suggest cooperating, as is typically required for high-profile (高姿态的) projects they frequently replied enthusiastically to start with, agreeing my project sounded interesting and promising. But when they learned I had just established my lab, they became skeptical (持怀疑态度的) and hesitant, ultimately saying no. And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to refuse support for my ambitious proposals.
I spent about two years being trapped in this mindset (思维模式), excited about my big ideas but making little actual progress, leading to frustration and depression. As I neared my breaking point, I began to ask myself: Were big projects really the only route?
When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue (追求). When I discussed these adventurous, low-cost projects with early-career researchers, they were glad to cooperate. We secured funding. When I published papers out of these projects, they were not exciting enough to make headlines — but for me, it was a moment of joy and self-contentment.
It has now been 3 years since I embraced this “small” approach. Sometimes senior colleagues say I’m wasting time with projects that aren’t important enough. But I disagree. When I do these studies, I also find clues for future big projects. Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions.
41. What is the author trying to do with big projects?
A. Pursue his graduate studies. B. Seek a route to academic success.
C. Apply for an associate professorship. D. Establish an academic research center.
42. What prevented the author pursuing his big project?
A. Lack of necessary support. B. The toughness of work.
C. Shortage of academic talents. D. The opposition from colleagues.
43. According to the third paragraph, what made the author frustrated and depressed?
A. His big projects all failed.
B. His big ideas were not practical.
C. He suffered from mental and physical problems.
D. He was confident about his idea, but it didn’t go far enough.
44. How did the author carry out his small project?
A. By publishing influential papers.
B. By getting young colleagues’ funding.
C. By exploring and coming up with new ideas.
D. By cooperating with senior colleagues.
45. What does the author learn from his experience?
A. Good jobs require a high degree. B. Ambition isn’t fit for the young.
C. Success results from preparation. D. Small doesn’t mean unimportant.
C
As a contraction of “hungry” and “angry”, the word “hangry” has only been in common use since the beginning of the century. Researchers have taken a step toward figuring out why irritability and puckishness (易怒和有点饿) go together like tomatoes and eggs, or chicken and mushroom.
To study the phenomenon, Jennifer conducted an experiment. In the experiment, 118 students took part in a lab study, instructed to fast (禁食) for five or more hours before coming in, while the other group of 118 students were instructed to eat a meal before the experiment. Half of the students were instructed to write a short essay about their emotions to direct their attention to how they were feeling. The other half were told to write about an unemotional ordinary day. Then they were instructed to complete the boring task on the computer, sorting bright circles that were annoying to look at. As the student neared the end of the task, the computer was programmed to pop up (弹出) “the blue screen of death”, making it look as if the student’s computer had crashed (死机). Then a researcher would enter the scene and blame the student for the crash, telling him he had pressed the wrong button.
After the experiment, the students were asked to fill out a questionnaire about their emotions and the quality of the experiment. The hungry students who had written about the ordinary day tended to criticize more, expressing more feelings of stress and anger. They evaluated (评估) the researchers as being more severe or more judgmental. However, the students who wrote about their emotions, focusing on their feelings before the task, did not share these same changes in emotions. In other words, with a little self-reflection, “hanger” can be removed.
So, why does hunger cause anger? The reason is not clear, but at The Conversation Jennifer explains that previous studies have shown hunger activates (激活) many of the same physiological systems as emotions. Hunger causes the body to release the stress hormones. The hungrier you are, the more hormones are released, causing stress and urging you to take action, so you burst into anger. When you’re hungry — like when you’re having a strong emotion — it can temporarily change how you see the world. This is a concept called affect-as-information theory.
“These findings suggest that the hangry feeling occurs when your hunger-caused negativity is blamed on the world around you,” Jennifer writes. “People don’t even realize they’re taking the wrong action.”
46. The author holds the point that ______.
A. the research explained why hunger causes anger
B. negative feelings would make people feel hungry
C. anger is to hunger what chicken is to mushroom
D. there is nothing to do to deal with the feeling of hanger
47. The students wrote a short essay in the experiment to make it possible to ______.
A. test their writing skills
B. study the phenomenon
C. research the effect of short-term fasting
D. investigate the impact of emotional awareness
48. How did the students who wrote about their emotions feel after the experiment?
A. They were less affected emotionally.
B. They felt more stressed and angry.
C. They evaluated the researchers negatively.
D. They were more critical of the experiment.
49. What role do hormones play in the development of “hanger”?
A. They control the body to slow the development of the feeling of hunger.
B. They play an important role in driving the person to burst into anger.
C. They stop people from expressing their negative emotions freely.
D. They help people reflect and recognize their mistakes themselves.
50. Which of the following may lead to “hanger”?
A. You enjoy a rich dinner with your family.
B. You wait an hour for your order at a restaurant.
C. You jump the queue to buy something after lunch.|
D. You help a boy with his broken bike on the way home.
第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(满分32.5分)
第四部分 写作(共三节,满分32.5分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
My dad is a kind, gentle man, and a man of few words. Throughout my life, he offered advice rarely. But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing.
As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, “All things are relative.” He taught me the right view of the world. When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student, I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company. His advice was simple, “Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better; management isn’t about power and it’s about leadership.” I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability. When I was feeling down, he explained, “Think that you make the wrong choices in life, sometimes.”
My dad is 86 now, living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings. He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life. Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. As I tell him how we’re heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis, now his typical response is, “Do it while you can.” This is very important. We can’t be sure of the future. My father’s advice is like the ancient dictum(格言)of “ carpe diem”— seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest.
My dad rarely “lectured me”. He trusted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life. As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It’s enough to “just get me started”.
51. Why did the author’s dad tell him “All things are relative.”? (No more than 10 words)
52. What qualities should a manager have according to the author? (No more than 5 words)
53. What is the purpose of the author’s father talking with him on the phone every day? (No more than 10 words)
54. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words)
55. How do you feel about the ancient dictum of “carpe diem”? (No more than 20 words)

A
Is an Electric Vehicle fight for you?
Many people will ask themselves that question for the first time this year. Prices are falling, battery range is rising and mainstream brands are adding new EVs at a breakneck pace.
Here are three things anybody seriously considering buying an EV should know:
1. The price to install (安装) a 240v charger
Anybody who owns an electric vehicle needs a 240-volt charger at home. With one, you can recharge overnight, so you start every day with the equal amount of a full tank.
Just a few years ago, home 240v EV chargers cost $2,500-$3,000, including installation, but prices have declined as competition grows with the number of EVs on the road.
2. The time it takes to charge
About 80% of miles driven in EVs are powered by electricity charged at home, but you’ll need to charge elsewhere occasionally. That’s when charging time becomes a big deal, but how long it takes depends on a couple of factors.
First, voltage (电压) from the charger. Getting 250 miles of range in seven hours from a 240v charger is fine when you re charging overnight at home, but it’s a problem if you’re going 300 miles for a weekend trip. In that case, you’ll want to look for a 400v fast charger. They’re not as common as 240v public chargers yet, but they’re becoming more widespread.
There’s another factor: the on-board charger. It regulates how fast the battery can accept electricity. A vehicle with a higher-capacity on-board charger accepts electricity faster.
3. Where to charge
Good route-planning apps will help you find chargers on a road trip easily.
“Most people have no idea how many public charging stations are within, say, a 10-or 15-mile radius (半径) because they’re small, people don’t look for them or even don’t know what to look for, and they’re rarely signposted,” said journalist John Voelcker, who has studied EVs and charging exhaustively.
4. On the horizon
If an EV doesn’t meet your needs now, watch this space. They’re coming closer. but large numbers of gasoline vehicles will remain in production for years. Beyond that, companies will keep making spare parts for oil-burners for decades.
36. What is the primary benefit of having a 240-volt charger at home for EV owners?
A. It allows for faster travel. B. It enables overnight recharging.
C. It reduces the cost of electricity. D. It increases the battery capacity.
37. What is a significant factor affecting how long it takes to charge an EV?
A. The speed of the vehicle. B. The weight of the vehicle.
C. The type of battery used. D. The voltage from the charger.
38. According to the article, how do most people feel about public charging stations?
A. They find them easy to locate.
B. They are well aware of their locations.
C. They often underestimate their availability.
D. They prefer to use home chargers completely.
39. What does the article suggest about the future of gasoline vehicles?
A. They will be completely disappear in a few years.
B. They will continue to be produced for years.
C. They will become more expensive than EVs.
D. They will have better technology than EVs.
40. This passage is mainly intended to .
A. offer advice on purchasing an electric vehicle.
B. illustrate the factors charging time depends on.
C. look forward to the future of electric vehicles.
D. explain the reason for the falling prices of electric vehicles.

B
During my graduate studies, countless workshops taught me one thing: To make it in science, one must design and carry out big projects. As I established my own research lab, a senior colleague encouraged me to try something big. So when I landed an associate professor position, my goal seemed obvious: I should perform big projects. This was the only way to lay a foundation for a successful academic research career. The path, however, would not be as clear as I had pictured.
When I contacted famous researchers to suggest cooperating, as is typically required for high-profile (高姿态的) projects they frequently replied enthusiastically to start with, agreeing my project sounded interesting and promising. But when they learned I had just established my lab, they became skeptical (持怀疑态度的) and hesitant, ultimately saying no. And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to refuse support for my ambitious proposals.
I spent about two years being trapped in this mindset (思维模式), excited about my big ideas but making little actual progress, leading to frustration and depression. As I neared my breaking point, I began to ask myself: Were big projects really the only route?
When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue (追求). When I discussed these adventurous, low-cost projects with early-career researchers, they were glad to cooperate. We secured funding. When I published papers out of these projects, they were not exciting enough to make headlines — but for me, it was a moment of joy and self-contentment.
It has now been 3 years since I embraced this “small” approach. Sometimes senior colleagues say I’m wasting time with projects that aren’t important enough. But I disagree. When I do these studies, I also find clues for future big projects. Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions.
41. What is the author trying to do with big projects?
A. Pursue his graduate studies. B. Seek a route to academic success.
C. Apply for an associate professorship. D. Establish an academic research center.
42. What prevented the author pursuing his big project?
A. Lack of necessary support. B. The toughness of work.
C. Shortage of academic talents. D. The opposition from colleagues.
43. According to the third paragraph, what made the author frustrated and depressed?
A. His big projects all failed.
B. His big ideas were not practical.
C. He suffered from mental and physical problems.
D. He was confident about his idea, but it didn’t go far enough.
44. How did the author carry out his small project?
A. By publishing influential papers.
B. By getting young colleagues’ funding.
C. By exploring and coming up with new ideas.
D. By cooperating with senior colleagues.
45. What does the author learn from his experience?
A. Good jobs require a high degree. B. Ambition isn’t fit for the young.
C. Success results from preparation. D. Small doesn’t mean unimportant.
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. D

And when I sought grant funding, my lack of experience and reputation was cited as a reason to refuse support for my ambitious proposals. (但当他们得知我刚成立实验室时,态度立刻变得迟疑犹豫,最终拒绝了合作。而当我申请科研经费时,评审方也以我资历尚浅、学术声誉不足为由,拒绝为这些雄心勃勃的提案提供支持)”可知,缺乏必要的合作与资金支持阻碍了大项目的推进。故选A项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I spent about two years being trapped in this mindset (思维模式), excited about my big ideas but making little actual progress, leading to frustration and depression. (我有大约两年的时间被困在这种心态中,虽然对大构想充满热情,实际进展却微乎其微,最终陷入沮丧与抑郁)”可知,作者对自己的想法很有信心,但进展微乎其微,这导致他沮丧与抑郁。故选D项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“When I shifted to small projects, I became brave enough to step into fields I was not familiar with. By reading papers in new areas, I found creative ideas to pursue (追求). (当我转向小型项目后,我变得敢于涉足陌生领域。通过阅读新领域的论文,我找到了值得探索的创新思路)”可知,作者通过探索和提出新的想法来完成他的小项目。故选C项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sometimes senior colleagues say I’m wasting time with projects that aren’t important enough. But I disagree. When I do these studies, I also find clues for future big projects. Going forward, I will still commit part of my time to exploring small projects, which I think can help pursue more fundamental questions. (有时候资深同事会说我在不够重要的项目上浪费时间,但我并不认同。当我做这些研究时,也能为未来的大项目找到线索。今后我仍会投入部分时间探索小项目,因为我相信这有助于追寻更根本性的问题)”可知,作者不认同小项目不够重要的观点,并指出小项目有可能促成大项目,促进对更根本性的问题的探索。由此可知,作者领悟到项目小并不意味着不重要。故选D项。
C
As a contraction of “hungry” and “angry”, the word “hangry” has only been in common use since the beginning of the century. Researchers have taken a step toward figuring out why irritability and puckishness (易怒和有点饿) go together like tomatoes and eggs, or chicken and mushroom.
To study the phenomenon, Jennifer conducted an experiment. In the experiment, 118 students took part in a lab study, instructed to fast (禁食) for five or more hours before coming in, while the other group of 118 students were instructed to eat a meal before the experiment. Half of the students were instructed to write a short essay about their emotions to direct their attention to how they were feeling. The other half were told to write about an unemotional ordinary day. Then they were instructed to complete the boring task on the computer, sorting bright circles that were annoying to look at. As the student neared the end of the task, the computer was programmed to pop up (弹出) “the blue screen of death”, making it look as if the student’s computer had crashed (死机). Then a researcher would enter the scene and blame the student for the crash, telling him he had pressed the wrong button.
After the experiment, the students were asked to fill out a questionnaire about their emotions and the quality of the experiment. The hungry students who had written about the ordinary day tended to criticize more, expressing more feelings of stress and anger. They evaluated (评估) the researchers as being more severe or more judgmental. However, the students who wrote about their emotions, focusing on their feelings before the task, did not share these same changes in emotions. In other words, with a little self-reflection, “hanger” can be removed.
So, why does hunger cause anger? The reason is not clear, but at The Conversation Jennifer explains that previous studies have shown hunger activates (激活) many of the same physiological systems as emotions. Hunger causes the body to release the stress hormones. The hungrier you are, the more hormones are released, causing stress and urging you to take action, so you burst into anger. When you’re hungry — like when you’re having a strong emotion — it can temporarily change how you see the world. This is a concept called affect-as-information theory.
“These findings suggest that the hangry feeling occurs when your hunger-caused negativity is blamed on the world around you,” Jennifer writes. “People don’t even realize they’re taking the wrong action.”
46. The author holds the point that ______.
A. the research explained why hunger causes anger
B. negative feelings would make people feel hungry
C. anger is to hunger what chicken is to mushroom
D. there is nothing to do to deal with the feeling of hanger
47. The students wrote a short essay in the experiment to make it possible to ______.
A. test their writing skills
B. study the phenomenon
C. research the effect of short-term fasting
D. investigate the impact of emotional awareness
48. How did the students who wrote about their emotions feel after the experiment?
A. They were less affected emotionally.
B. They felt more stressed and angry.
C. They evaluated the researchers negatively.
D. They were more critical of the experiment.
49. What role do hormones play in the development of “hanger”?
A. They control the body to slow the development of the feeling of hunger.

【答案】46. C 47. D 48. A 49. B 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究通过对照实验表明饥饿的确可以引发愤怒,但情绪自我觉察可缓解该现象,其机制可以用情感信息理论解释——人们常将饥饿导致的负面情绪错误归因于外部环境。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Researchers have taken a step toward figuring out why irritability and puckishness (易怒和有点饿) go together like tomatoes and eggs, or chicken and mushroom. (研究人员在探索“为什么易怒和有点饿总是形影不离”这个问题上取得了进展——就像西红柿炒蛋或小鸡炖蘑菇那样,这两种状态总是相伴相生)”可知,作者将饥饿与愤怒关系比作经典食物搭配,说明两者总是形影不离,C项“愤怒之于饥饿,犹如鸡肉之于蘑菇”复现了这个类比,表明饥饿与愤怒的天然关联性,契合作者的观点。故选C项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Half of the students were instructed to write a short essay about their emotions to direct their attention to how they were feeling. The other half were told to write about an unemotional ordinary day. (其中一半学生被要求撰写一篇关于自己情绪的短文,以引导他们关注自身感受。另一半学生则被要求描述一个平淡无奇的日常日子)”、第三段中“The hungry students who had written about the ordinary day tended to criticize more, expressing more feelings of stress and anger. (那些被要求记录日常生活的饥饿学生往往表现出更多批评态度,流露出更强的压力和愤怒情绪)”和“However, the students who wrote about their emotions, focusing on their feelings before the task, did not share these same changes in emotions. (然而,那些在任务前专注记录自身情绪的学生,并未出现同样的情绪波动)”可知,实验中研究者让学生撰写情绪短文或日常记录,最后的研究结果表明关注自身情绪者更少愤怒。由此可知,让学生写情绪短文是为了对比情绪觉察对饿怒的影响。故选D项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the students who wrote about their emotions, focusing on their feelings before the task, did not share these same changes in emotions. (然而,那些在任务前专注记录自身情绪的学生,并未出现同样的情绪波动)”可知,这部分学生较少受负面情绪影响。故选A项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Hunger causes the body to release the stress hormones. The hungrier you are, the more hormones are released, causing stress and urging you to take action, so you burst into anger. (饥饿会促使人体释放压力荷尔蒙。饥饿感越强烈,释放的荷尔蒙就越多,这会引发压力并促使你采取行动,最终导致你突然发怒)”可知,荷尔蒙在驱使人发怒方面起着重要作用。故选B项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Jennifer所说的话“These findings suggest that the hangry feeling occurs when your hunger-caused negativity is blamed on the world around you (这些研究结果表明,当你将饥饿引发的负面情绪归咎于周遭环境时,就会产生“饿怒”情绪)”可知,B项“你在餐馆等了一个小时才点餐”的情况下,你是饥饿的,且等待时间过长会让你难以忍受,这时你容易有“饿怒”情绪。故选B项。
第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(满分32.5分)
第四部分 写作(共三节,满分32.5分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
My dad is a kind, gentle man, and a man of few words. Throughout my life, he offered advice rarely. But the words were always appropriate to the situation I was facing.
As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, “All things are relative.” He taught me the right view of the world. When I was offered the opportunity to be a manager of an organization as an undergraduate student, I asked him for advice because he was a senior manager of a large company. His advice was simple, “Only when you become the manager can you have a vision for how you can make the organization better; management isn’t about power and it’s about leadership.” I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability. When I was feeling down, he explained, “Think that you make the wrong choices in life, sometimes.”
My dad is 86 now, living on his own and enjoying life while struggling with the challenges that aging brings. He keeps a positive attitude despite long pain and the losses that come in life. Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. As I tell him how we’re heading off cycling or on a trip or out to play tennis, now his typical response is, “Do it while you can.” This is very important. We can’t be sure of the future. My father’s advice is like the ancient dictum(格言)of “ carpe diem”— seize the day and enjoy it to the fullest.
My dad rarely “lectured me”. He trusted me, and helped me when I needed help. His patience and wisdom have been true gifts in my life. As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It’s enough to “just get me started”.
51. Why did the author’s dad tell him “All things are relative.”? (No more than 10 words)
52. What qualities should a manager have according to the author? (No more than 5 words)
53. What is the purpose of the author’s father talking with him on the phone every day? (No more than 10 words)
54. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (No more than 10 words)
55. How do you feel about the ancient dictum of “carpe diem”? (No more than 20 words)
【答案】51. To teach the author the right view of the world.
52. Both responsibility and leading ability.
53. Learning (To learn) more about the pleasure of the author’s family.
54. His father’s words make him take action.
55. Open.(Answers may vary)
(One possible version: ) I totally agree with it, because I think one should seize the day to enjoy his life without regret.
【解析】
【分析】本文为记叙文。作者介绍了自己的父亲及父亲对自己的教导和启发。
【51题详解】
根据第二段中的As a teen when I struggled with making sense of the world around me, he said, “All things are relative.” He taught me the right view of the world.可知,作者的父亲说“所有的事情都是相对的。”是为了教给作者正确的世界观。考虑词数限制,故答To teach the author the right view of the world.
52题详解】
根据第二段中的I learned what I needed was not only to be responsible for my team but also to have leading ability.可知,作者明白了作为经理他需要的不仅仅是对团队负责,还要有领导能力。考虑词数限制,故答Both responsibility and leading ability.
【53题详解】
根据第三段中的Although we live quite far away from each other, we talk daily on the phone, and he shares the joys of my young family. 可知,作者的父亲每天和他通电话的目的实际上是想分享年轻家庭的快乐。考虑词数限制,故答Learning (To learn) more about the pleasure of the author’s family.
【54题详解】
根据最后一段中的As I doubt my ability and my motivation, I recall his most recent gift of wisdom, “Do it while you can”. It’s enough to “just get me started”可知,当作者怀疑自己的能力和动机时,他会想起父亲最近赐予他的智慧——“趁你能做的时候去做”。这足以让我“开始”了。由此可知,划线句意为,父亲的话让自己行动起来。考虑词数限制,故答His father’s words make him take action.
【55题详解】
此题答案不统一,答题时要有立场、要有依据,同时注意字数限制。例如:I totally agree with it, because I think one should seize the day to enjoy his life without regret.(我完全同意,因为我认为一个人应该抓住这一天,享受他的生活没有遗憾)
