B
Having a job is great, I have learned. It means I can afford things such as a place to live and daily meals. And with an above-average job, I can afford a car and occasional overseas vacations.
However, I also understand how difficult it is to have a below-average job, having had many of them before. It’s frankly pretty awful. Owning a car was out of the question – I could barely afford to ride the subway.
So, I decided to go to university and get a degree.
Later I emailed my details to every company and government institution with an online careers page. I even printed my resume and handed it out in what seemed like hundreds of office buildings.
One summer during university, my cousin and I helped out at my uncle’s business, fixing roofs, although the only thing I got out of that was back problems.
That same year, I got a job at a plumbing(管道工程) company, which I was terrible at. It was no surprise when I was asked to leave that job after only four days.
A lot of people today believe the problem of unemployment in my generation is our fault. Some accuse us of being lazy or feeling too entitled(有资格的). At the same time, some people accuse members of my generation of having a sense of “specialness” that has led us to believe we can all be astronauts, movie stars or singers if we put our minds to it. Also, a few of them think that we would all be happily employed if we would only learn trades or become software engineers, because those people make the most money.
I realize that not everyone can go into space, star in Hollywood movies or fill stadiums with fans, however. I also think not everyone can make a good electrician or design advanced computer software – I know I can’t. Everyone is good at something, but no one is good at everything. It took me hundreds of rejection emails to realize that I had to focus on finding a job where I could actually be successful.
And now, I finally have that job. All it took was several years of desperation, failure and an honest assessment(评估) of my personal value in the job market.
It’s not the best start, but it’s not bad for a start too.

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者描述了自己找工作的经历以及自己对这个经历的反思。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段It’s frankly pretty awful. Owning a car was out of the question – I could barely afford to ride the subway.可知,作者去大学之前的工作报酬很少,几乎无法满足自己的生活,即不能做到收支相抵(make ends meet),选项B的表述正确,故选B。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段Later, I emailed my details to every company and government institution with an online careers page. I even printed my resume and handed it out in what seemed like hundreds of office buildings.可知,作者在找工作的过程中遭遇很多困难,都没有成功,故选C。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第八段It took me hundreds of rejection emails to realize that I had to focus on finding a job where I could actually be successful.可知,作者认为自己之前没有正确评估自己,没有按照自己所擅长的方向去找工作,因此屡屡不顺。其他三项是外界对于作者这一代人不好找工作的看法,并非作者自己的观点。故选D。
【44题详解】

C
In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs (阻碍) practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison to a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated efforts, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of over-learning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions.
46. What stops people from achieving the goal?
A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B. The inability to find relevant information.
C. The confusion caused by the information.
D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
47. What does the author try to advocate in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Sticking to continuous learning.
B. Taking practical action without delay.
C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible.
D. Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study.
48. Why is practical experience important in the learning process?
A. It replaces continuous learning.
B. It removes obstacles in learning.
C. It holds back theoretical understanding.
D. It offers a comprehensive understanding.
49. The example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to ________.
A. compare different learning styles
B. show the importance of making mistakes
C. emphasize the need for parental guidance
D. explain learning through action and experience
50. What makes the best title for the passage?
A. The Paradox of Information Overload
B. The Harmony of Learning and Doing
C. The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge
D. The Process of Learning to Walk
【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. D 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章批判了信息时代过度学习导致行动瘫痪的现象,论证了在实践中学习的重要性,提出学习与实践动态平衡的解决方案。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach. (你一开始会进行大量研究,深入钻研这个主题。但随着吸收的信息越多,反而会感觉自己的理解在减弱。每一个新概念或策略都会揭示出更深层的复杂性,让目标显得愈发遥不可及)”可知,信息过载引发的困惑会使人无法实现目标。故选C项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs (阻碍) practical application. (虽然获取全面的知识很有价值——也就是说,大量学习本身并没有错——但当这种追求阻碍实际应用时,问题就会出现)”和第四段中“Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. (收集必要信息后,就立即付诸行动——即便你觉得自己还没完全准备好)”可知,大量学习有可能会阻碍实际应用,因此在收集必要信息后就应该付诸行动。由此可知,作者主张毫不拖延地采取实际行动。故选B项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot. (这通常是最好的学习方式,因为实践经验能提供单纯理论知识无法给予的洞见)”可知,实践经验能提供更完整的理解。故选D项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“The comparison to a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated efforts, walking is eventually mastered. (婴儿学步就是个很好的例子。孩子不是靠坐着分析走路过程来学习的,而是通过不断尝试行走、跌倒,然后从每次跌倒中领悟哪些方法可行、哪些不可行。经过反复练习,最终掌握了行走的能力)”可知,此处用婴儿通过行走、跌倒、调整来学习走路的类比,说明从行动中学习的重要性。由此可知,作者用该例证生动地解释通过行动和经验来学习。故选D项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中“An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. (实现目标的另一种更有效方法,是在学习与实践之间取得平衡)”和最后一段中“It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of over-learning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions. (正是通过获取知识与实践运用的相互作用,我们才能真正向理想迈进。这种平衡之道,是克服“过度学习瘫痪症”、积极实现抱负的关键所在)”可知,文章批判了信息时代过度学习导致行动瘫痪的现象,论证了在实践中学习的重要性,提出学习与实践动态平衡的解决方案。因此,B项“学与做的和谐”概括了作者提出的解决方案,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
D
Even though it’s the 18th movie from the Marvel Universe, Black Panther is the first one to feature a black superhero with a primarily black cast(演员阵容).
The film tells the story of the Black Panther, a superhero who takes his father’s place as king of the fictional African country Wakanda. The film came out in Chinese mainland cinemas on March 9, passing the $1 billion (about 6 billion yuan) mark at the global box office and becoming the No. 2 superhero release of all time on March 10.
However, Black Panther means more than just the money it’s making. As the Guardian noted, the film is already being regarded as “a positive force for social change”.
The wild success of Black Panther lies in the fact that it gives voices to minorities who are rarely given room in popular culture. “It carries a weight that neither Thor nor Captain America could lift: serving a black audience that has long gone under-represented,” Time noted.
“It makes me feel proud and confident that we made it on screen in that way,” Rasheed Butler, 14, from a black community in California, US, told the Marin Independent Journal.
The superhero Black Panther is inspiring, but the movie also highlights brilliant black women. For example, Black Panther’s teenage sister is a tech genius. She designs gadgets for her brother and develops resources that make the isolated Wakanda wealthy scientifically and technologically advanced.
“What I love about the way this film represents women is that each and every one of us is an individual, unique,” Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o, who plays a spy in the movie, told the Los Angeles Times. “I think that’s a very powerful message to send to children – both male and female.”
Powerful characters aside, the movie has social implications. While the Black Panther tries to keep his country and people away from the outside world, others want to make use of Wakanda’s advanced technology to fight injustice . “But neither option is truly tenable,” The Verge noted. “It suggests that these destructive cycles may only be broken through guidance, education, and global leadership.”
Instead of hiding away from current issues of race and economic differences, the movie explores what it means to be black in the US, in Africa and in the world. It deals “head-on with the issues affecting modern-day black life”, Time concluded.
51. What is the article mainly about?
A. The success and main plot of Black Panther.
B. The charm of the main characters in Black Panther.
C. The main characters and social impact of Black Panther.
D. How black women are represented in Black Panther.
52. According to the article, the movie Black Panther is successful mainly because _______.
A. it reflects social changes in African countries.
B. it makes the voices of black people heard.
C. it is the first movie to feature black women.
D. it explores the issues of race and economic differences.
53. According to Lupita Nyong’o, women in the movie are shown as _______.
A. isolated and uneducated.
B brave and powerful.
C. having a gift for film.
D. having a unique personality.
54. The underlined word “tenable” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _____.
A. wrong B. easy
C. reasonable D. interesting
55. What does The Verge think could be the solution to the injustice facing the people of Wakanda?
A. Improving their economic situations.
B. Staying away from the outside world.
C. Making use of their advanced technology to fight it.
D. Advancing their education, guidance and leadership.
【答案】51 C 52. B 53. D 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了黑豹这个电影中的角色人物以及这个电影的社会影响。
【51题详解】
主旨大意题。文章前七段主要讲了黑豹这个电影中的角色人物,最后两段讲了这个电影的社会影响,选项C对文章概括的最详细,故选C。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段The wild success of Black Panther lies in the fact that it gives voices to minorities who are rarely given room in popular culture.可知黑豹这部电影能够成功是因为它替黑人发出声音,这些黑人在流行文化中很少有一席之地。故选B。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段“What I love about the way this film represents women is that each and every one of us is an individual, unique,”可知电影表现的女人都有自己独一无二的个性,故选D。
【54题详解】
词义猜测题。the Black Panther tries to keep his country and people away from the outside world(黑豹试图让他的国家和人民远离外面的世界)和others want to make use of Wakanda’s advanced technology to fight injustice(其他人则希望利用Wakanda的先进技术来打击不公正),这两件事都是不合理的(neither option is truly tenable),句子中用了否定词neither,所以此处tenable的意思是“站得住脚的,可维持的”,选项C reasonable的意思是“合理的”,与之最相近,故选C。
【55题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段“It suggests that these destructive cycles may only be broken through guidance, education, and global leadership.”可知The Verge认为加强教育、指导和领导才能解决Wakanda人民所面临的不公平,故选D。

Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India. I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master’s degree in IT and graduate from a US university.
I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so captivated by the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind to chase a master’s degree in IT.
At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up.
Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans’ accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day.
I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.
When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary.
56. Why did the author’s family and friends say that it was hard for him to pursue a master’s degree in IT? (no more than 8 words)

59. What made the author graduate with a higher GPA and a good job offer? (no more than 15 words)

60. What do you think of the author? Why? (no more than 25 words)

【答案】My Views on Filming Short Videos on Campus
Dear classmates,
Filming short videos on campus has its pros and cons. It’s a great way to record our lively campus life — like morning readings or festival events. But some act improperly: shooting in class disturbs studies, and taking videos of others without consent is rude.
Here are my suggestions. Pick right times, such as breaks, and appropriate places like the playground. Always ask before filming peers. Let’s use videos to share joy, not create trouble.
Thank you!

Having a job is great, I have learned. It means I can afford things such as a place to live and daily meals. And with an above-average job, I can afford a car and occasional overseas vacations.
However, I also understand how difficult it is to have a below-average job, having had many of them before. It’s frankly pretty awful. Owning a car was out of the question – I could barely afford to ride the subway.
So, I decided to go to university and get a degree.
Later, I emailed my details to every company and government institution with an online careers page. I even printed my resume and handed it out in what seemed like hundreds of office buildings.
One summer during university, my cousin and I helped out at my uncle’s business, fixing roofs, although the only thing I got out of that was back problems.
That same year, I got a job at a plumbing(管道工程) company, which I was terrible at. It was no surprise when I was asked to leave that job after only four days.
A lot of people today believe the problem of unemployment in my generation is our fault. Some accuse us of being lazy or feeling too entitled(有资格的). At the same time, some people accuse members of my generation of having a sense of “specialness” that has led us to believe we can all be astronauts, movie stars or singers if we put our minds to it. Also, a few of them think that we would all be happily employed if we would only learn trades or become software engineers, because those people make the most money.
I realize that not everyone can go into space, star in Hollywood movies or fill stadiums with fans, however. I also think not everyone can make a good electrician or design advanced computer software – I know I can’t. Everyone is good at something, but no one is good at everything. It took me hundreds of rejection emails to realize that I had to focus on finding a job where I could actually be successful.
And now, I finally have that job. All it took was several years of desperation, failure and an honest assessment(评估) of my personal value in the job market.
It’s not the best start, but it’s not bad for a start too.

In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs (阻碍) practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison to a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated efforts, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of over-learning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions.
46. What stops people from achieving the goal?
A. The distraction caused by unrelated tasks.
B. The inability to find relevant information.
C. The confusion caused by the information.
D. The desire to learn basic concept or strategy.
47. What does the author try to advocate in Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Sticking to continuous learning.
B. Taking practical action without delay.
C. Gaining as much knowledge as possible.
D Prioritizing theoretical knowledge in study.
48. Why is practical experience important in the learning process?
A. It replaces continuous learning.
B. It removes obstacles in learning.
C. It holds back theoretical understanding.
D. It offers a comprehensive understanding.
49. The example “baby learning to walk” mentioned in Paragraph 5 is used to ________.
A. compare different learning styles
B. show the importance of making mistakes
C. emphasize the need for parental guidance
D. explain learning through action and experience
50. What makes the best title for the passage?
A. The Paradox of Information Overload
B. The Harmony of Learning and Doing
C. The Pursuit of Balanced Knowledge
D. The Process of Learning to Walk
D
Even though it’s the 18th movie from the Marvel Universe, Black Panther is the first one to feature a black superhero with a primarily black cast(演员阵容).
The film tells the story of the Black Panther, a superhero who takes his father’s place as king of the fictional African country Wakanda. The film came out in Chinese mainland cinemas on March 9, passing the $1 billion (about 6 billion yuan) mark at the global box office and becoming the No. 2 superhero release of all time on March 10.
However, Black Panther means more than just the money it’s making. As the Guardian noted, the film is already being regarded as “a positive force for social change”.
The wild success of Black Panther lies in the fact that it gives voices to minorities who are rarely given room in popular culture. “It carries a weight that neither Thor nor Captain America could lift: serving a black audience that has long gone under-represented,” Time noted.
“It makes me feel proud and confident that we made it on screen in that way,” Rasheed Butler, 14, from a black community in California, US, told the Marin Independent Journal.
The superhero Black Panther is inspiring, but the movie also highlights brilliant black women. For example, Black Panther’s teenage sister is a tech genius. She designs gadgets for her brother and develops resources that make the isolated Wakanda wealthy scientifically and technologically advanced.
“What I love about the way this film represents women is that each and every one of us is an individual, unique,” Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o, who plays a spy in the movie, told the Los Angeles Times. “I think that’s a very powerful message to send to children – both male and female.”
Powerful characters aside, the movie has social implications. While the Black Panther tries to keep his country and people away from the outside world, others want to make use of Wakanda’s advanced technology to fight injustice . “But neither option is truly tenable,” The Verge noted. “It suggests that these destructive cycles may only be broken through guidance, education, and global leadership.”
Instead of hiding away from current issues of race and economic differences, the movie explores what it means to be black in the US, in Africa and in the world. It deals “head-on with the issues affecting modern-day black life”, Time concluded.
51. What is the article mainly about?
A. The success and main plot of Black Panther.
B. The charm of the main characters in Black Panther.
C. The main characters and social impact of Black Panther.
D. How black women are represented in Black Panther.
52. According to the article, the movie Black Panther is successful mainly because _______.
A. it reflects social changes in African countries.
B. it makes the voices of black people heard.
C. it is the first movie to feature black women.
D. it explores the issues of race and economic differences.
53. According to Lupita Nyong’o, women in the movie are shown as _______.
A. isolated and uneducated.
B. brave and powerful.
C. having a gift for film.
D. having a unique personality.
54. The underlined word “tenable” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _____.
A. wrong B. easy
C. reasonable D. interesting
55. What does The Verge think could be the solution to the injustice facing the people of Wakanda?
A. Improving their economic situations.
B. Staying away from the outside world.
C. Making use of their advanced technology to fight it.
D. Advancing their education, guidance and leadership.

Just like everyone, I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I am an aerospace engineer from India. I was told by my relatives, close friends and others that it was hard for a non-IT student to pursue a master’s degree in IT and graduate from a US university.
I had never taken courses related to computers or programming. I was never interested in being a programmer, but things changed. I became so captivated by the convenience IT has brought to our life that I made up my mind to chase a master’s degree in IT.
At first, I came across too many difficulties and setbacks. Coming from a middle-class family, the huge cost per credit was a big issue. My English accent was terrible. Most importantly, the course seemed impossible at first. Although I felt so discouraged and frustrated, I never thought of giving up.
Then I decided to choose my university because it promised its students to help them learn practically. During my first month, it was difficult to understand the Americans’ accent and finish my assignments. But I never gave in. I walked two miles to the university every day so that I could use my travel money to buy a meal. I started looking for jobs and I got an offer to work as a student assistant, which meant lifting benches and chairs every day.
I took all these challenges as my chances, and I believed that hard work was my strength. Right now I am graduating with a GPA of 3.96/4 and a job offer from a multinational company that has asked me to start right after graduation.
When you have a dream to realize, there is nothing that can stop you. All you need is the diligence and persistence. Hard work always pays off. Having a determined will is also necessary.
