A “bucket list” is a personal list of goals and activities someone wants to achieve before the end of his life. Fortunately, I’ve been able to check off many of mine, an achievement that many people I know never get the opportunity to do.
While most people don’t like to talk about mortality (死亡), the hard fact is that it will come eventually. After the loss of several loved ones, I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life, I’ll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could.
Some of the things on my bucket list that I’ve achieved — hiking the Plank Road in the Sky on Mount Huashan in China; diving off the highest platform of 15 meters (50 feet) into the sea at Ariel’s Point in Boracay; doing the world’s highest bungee jump at 233 meters off Macao Tower; octopus fishing in the Yellow Sea off South Korea and much more.
The top thing on my bucket list, however, is much more difficult to achieve. Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976, I have been searching for my birth parents for the past several years. I can’t help but worry that they may be gone. But having this thing head my list urges me to keep trying and I’m planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search.
When I’ve talked about my bucket list to others, some of the feedback (反馈) I’ve received is that it seems “a bit morbid”. Like, if you have a list, you’re thinking about your death. But I’m still in my rosy years.
As you get older, the list may change. And that’s OK. Whether it includes visiting certain countries, getting in better physical shape, buying a particular thing or just spending more time with loved ones, there is no wrong way to do a bucket list. Your list can include short-term goals, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or just personal goals. It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so.
4. Why did the author decide to make his bucket list?
A. Because he was afraid of early death. B. Because he thought life was too hard.
C. Because he didn’t want to live to regret. D. Because he wanted to honor his loved ones.
5. Which of the following wishes has NOT been achieved according to the author?
A. Diving at Ariel’s Point. B. Hiking on Mount Huashan.
C. Doing bungee off Macao Tower. D. Finding his biological parents.
6. What does the underlined word “morbid” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. sick B. acceptable C. necessary D. reliable
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People should stick to their dreams and hopes.
B. It doesn’t make any sense to change the bucket list.
C. A bucket list can help us get motivated and relaxed.
D. Personal experiences shouldn’t be included in a bucket list.
C
We use a huge amount of single-use plastic each year-we buy one million plastic bottles each minute around the world.Plastic waste,a material that can take centuries or more to disappear, is causing great damage to the planet.However,plastic waste produced in many countries typically ends up in open, uncontrolled landfills(垃圾填埋池),most of which finally enters the ocean either by wind or through waterways.
Now,Nzambi Matee,a 29-year-old woman from Nairobi,Kenya,is dealing with this global, crisis by recycling bags,containers, and other waste products into bricks(砖头)used for construction projects.Before founding her company -Gjenge Makers,Matee worked as an oil-industry engineer.After seeing plastic waste along Nairobi's streets,she decided to quit her job and built a small lab,testing sand and plastic combinations(结合)Matee managed to study in the materials lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she in the end developed a machine that produces the new bricks.
Made from a combination of plastic and sand,the bricks have a melting point higher than 350℃ and can be used for a longer time than traditional bricks. Matee and her team gain much of the raw product from factories and recyclers, and sometimes it's free, which allows the company to reduce the price point on the product and make it more affordable for schools and homeowners.
“There is waste that recyclers cannot deal with anymore. That is what we get,”Matee said. Her factory produces 1,500 bricks each day,made from a mix of different kinds of plastic.These are polyethylene(聚乙烯)used for milk bottles,sandwich bags, and ropes. But she does not work with polyethylene terephthalate or PET,commonly used for plastic bottles,which can be made into the same form easily again and again.
The plastic waste is mixed with sand,heated and then pressed into bricks, which are sold at different prices,depending on thickness and colour.
8. What does Paragraph 1 mainly focus on?
A. The ways of finding single-use plastics.
B. Our dependence on single-use plastics.
C. The wide spread use of plastic products.
D. Our irresponsible behavior in using plastics.
9. What caused Matee to make the new bricks?
A. Her job as an oil-industry engineer.
B. Her determination to go to university.
C. Her awareness of plastic waste problems.
D. Her research project in the university lab.
10. What are Matee's bricks like compared to traditional bricks?
A. They take less time to make.
B. They bear much more weight.
C. They stay in good condition longer.
D They change their colors more easily.
11. What do we know about PET bottles?
A. They are easy to recycle.
B. They are few in number.
C They are mixed with sand.
D. They are difficult to deal with.
D
To show empathy (共情) is to identify with another’s feelings. It is to emotionally put yourself in the place at another. The ability to empathize is directly dependent on your ability to feel your own feelings and identify them.
If you have never felt a certain feeling, it will be hard for you to understand how another person is feeling. If you have never put your hand in a flame, you will not know the pain of fire. If you have not experienced jealousy (妒嫉), you will not understand its power. Reading about a feeling and intellectually knowing about it is very different than actually experiencing it for yourself.
Among those with an equal level of emotional intelligence, the person who has actually experienced the widest range and variety of feelings — the great depths of depression and the heights of fulfillment, for example — is the one who is most able to empathize. On the other hand, when we say that someone “can’t relate to” other people, it is likely because they haven’t experienced, acknowledged or accepted many feelings of their own. Once you have felt discriminated (歧视) against, for example, it is much easier to relate with someone else who has been discriminated against. Our innate emotional intelligence gives us the ability to quickly recall those instances and form associations when we encounter discrimination again. We then can use the “reliving” of those emotions to guide our thinking and actions. This is one of the ways nature slowly evolves towards a higher level of survival.
For this process to work, the first step is that we must be able to experience our own emotions. This means we must be open to them and not distract ourselves from them or try to numb (使麻木) ourselves from our feelings through drugs, alcohol, etc.
Next, we need to become aware of what we are actually feeling—to acknowledge, identify, and accept our feelings. Only then can we empathize with others. That is one reason why it is important to work on your own emotional awareness and sensitivity — in other words, to be “in touch with” your feelings.
12. How does the author explain the feelings of empathy?
A. By giving examples. B. By having classification.
C. By making comparison. D. By providing data.
13. Which statement may the author agree with?
A. Low level of empathy leads to fewer varieties of feelings.
B. The deeper one’s feelings are, the more empathetic one is.
C. Empathy is a way we recently picked up for better survival.
D. Rich experiences of emotions may go with a high level of empathy.
14. What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs?
A. To advise a sincere attitude to one’s experiences.
B. To suggest a right understanding of empathy.
C. To recommend sensing and recognizing one’s emotions.
D. To call for true acceptance of one’s identity.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Empathy Unfolds B. Be Open to Your Emotions
C. Why Is Empathy Important D. Accept Your True Self

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

A “bucket list” is a personal list of goals and activities someone wants to achieve before the end of his life. Fortunately, I’ve been able to check off many of mine, an achievement that many people I know never get the opportunity to do.
While most people don’t like to talk about mortality (死亡), the hard fact is that it will come eventually. After the loss of several loved ones, I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life, I’ll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could.
Some of the things on my bucket list that I’ve achieved — hiking the Plank Road in the Sky on Mount Huashan in China; diving off the highest platform of 15 meters (50 feet) into the sea at Ariel’s Point in Boracay; doing the world’s highest bungee jump at 233 meters off Macao Tower; octopus fishing in the Yellow Sea off South Korea and much more.
The top thing on my bucket list, however, is much more difficult to achieve. Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976, I have been searching for my birth parents for the past several years. I can’t help but worry that they may be gone. But having this thing head my list urges me to keep trying and I’m planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search.
When I’ve talked about my bucket list to others, some of the feedback (反馈) I’ve received is that it seems “a bit morbid”. Like, if you have a list, you’re thinking about your death. But I’m still in my rosy years.
As you get older, the list may change. And that’s OK. Whether it includes visiting certain countries, getting in better physical shape, buying a particular thing or just spending more time with loved ones, there is no wrong way to do a bucket list. Your list can include short-term goals, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or just personal goals. It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so.
4. Why did the author decide to make his bucket list?
A. Because he was afraid of early death. B. Because he thought life was too hard.
C. Because he didn’t want to live to regret. D. Because he wanted to honor his loved ones.
5. Which of the following wishes has NOT been achieved according to the author?
A. Diving at Ariel’s Point. B. Hiking on Mount Huashan.
C. Doing bungee off Macao Tower. D. Finding his biological parents.
6 What does the underlined word “morbid” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. sick B. acceptable C. necessary D. reliable
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. People should stick to their dreams and hopes.
B. It doesn’t make any sense to change the bucket list.
C. A bucket list can help us get motivated and relaxed.
D. Personal experiences shouldn’t be included in a bucket list.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文首先陈述遗愿清单定义,然后讲述作者为自己列遗愿清单的详情,最后分享列遗愿清单的注意事项。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After the loss of several loved ones, I decided to make my bucket list so that, when I reflect on my life, I’ll smile and know that I grabbed every chance at happiness that I could.(在失去了几个亲人之后,我决定列出我的遗愿清单,这样,当我反思我的生活时,我会微笑着知道我抓住了每一个幸福的机会)”可知,作者决定列一个遗愿清单是因为他不想活在后悔中。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The top thing on my bucket list, however, is much more difficult to achieve. Being adopted from South Korea to the United States in 1976, I have been searching for my birth parents for the past several years. I can’t help but worry that they may be gone. But having this thing head my list urges me to keep trying and I’m planning to visit Seoul in October to continue the search.(然而,我人生愿望清单上的首要事项要实现起来则要困难得多。1976年,我从韩国被领养到了美国。此后数年里,我一直都在寻找我的亲生父母。我不禁担心他们可能已经不在人世了。但将这件事置于愿望清单的首位,激励着我继续努力寻找,我计划在10月份前往首尔继续进行搜寻)”可知,寻找亲生父母的愿望没有实现。故选D。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段“Like, if you have a list, you’re thinking about your death. But I’m still in my rosy years.(比如说,如果你有一份清单的话,那你肯定已经在思考自己的死亡了。但我现在还处于充满希望的年轻岁月里)”以及划线词上文“When I’ve talked about my bucket list to others, some of the feedback I’ve received is that it seems “a bit (当我和别人谈论我的遗愿清单时,我收到的一些反馈是,这似乎“有点……)”可知,尚处于花样年华的作者此时和他人谈及遗愿清单,别人正常反应应该会觉得作者“病态”,故划线词意思是“病态的”。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As you get older, the list may change. And that’s OK. Whether it includes visiting certain countries, getting in better physical shape, buying a particular thing or just spending more time with loved ones, there is no wrong way to do a bucket list. Your list can include short-term goals, once-in-a-lifetime experiences or just personal goals. It can give a boost to your motivation and force you to take breaks when you might not otherwise think of doing so.(随着年龄的增长,这份清单的内容可能会有所变化。这完全没问题。无论是去某些国家旅行、改善身体状况、购买特定物品,还是仅仅多花些时间与亲人相处,制定这份清单的方式并没有所谓的“正确”或“错误”。你的清单可以包含短期目标、一生仅有一次的经历,或者仅仅是个人目标。它能增强你的动力,并促使你在原本可能不会想到要休息的时候也去休息一下)”可知,遗愿清单可以帮助我们获得动力和放松。故选C。
C
We use a huge amount of single-use plastic each year-we buy one million plastic bottles each minute around the world.Plastic waste,a material that can take centuries or more to disappear, is causing great damage to the planet.However,plastic waste produced in many countries typically ends up in open, uncontrolled landfills(垃圾填埋池),most of which finally enters the ocean either by wind or through waterways.
Now,Nzambi Matee,a 29-year-old woman from Nairobi,Kenya,is dealing with this global, crisis by recycling bags,containers, and other waste products into bricks(砖头)used for construction projects.Before founding her company -Gjenge Makers,Matee worked as an oil-industry engineer.After seeing plastic waste along Nairobi's streets,she decided to quit her job and built a small lab,testing sand and plastic combinations(结合)Matee managed to study in the materials lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she in the end developed a machine that produces the new bricks.
Made from a combination of plastic and sand,the bricks have a melting point higher than 350℃ and can be used for a longer time than traditional bricks. Matee and her team gain much of the raw product from factories and recyclers, and sometimes it's free, which allows the company to reduce the price point on the product and make it more affordable for schools and homeowners.
“There is waste that recyclers cannot deal with anymore. That is what we get,”Matee said. Her factory produces 1,500 bricks each day,made from a mix of different kinds of plastic.These are polyethylene(聚乙烯)used for milk bottles,sandwich bags, and ropes. But she does not work with polyethylene terephthalate or PET,commonly used for plastic bottles,which can be made into the same form easily again and again.
The plastic waste is mixed with sand,heated and then pressed into bricks, which are sold at different prices,depending on thickness and colour.
8. What does Paragraph 1 mainly focus on?
A. The ways of finding single-use plastics.
B. Our dependence on single-use plastics.
C. The wide spread use of plastic products.
D. Our irresponsible behavior in using plastics.
9. What caused Matee to make the new bricks?
A. Her job as an oil-industry engineer.
B. Her determination to go to university.
C. Her awareness of plastic waste problems.
D. Her research project in the university lab.
10. What are Matee's bricks like compared to traditional bricks?
A. They take less time to make.
B. They bear much more weight.
C. They stay in good condition longer.
D. They change their colors more easily.
11. What do we know about PET bottles?
A. They are easy to recycle.
B. They are few in number.
C. They are mixed with sand.
D. They are difficult to deal with.
【答案】8 D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了我们每年使用大量的一次性塑料,需要几个世纪甚至更长时间才能分解的材料,正在对地球造成巨大的破坏。现在,来自肯尼亚内罗毕的29岁妇女Nzambi Matee正在通过将塑料袋、容器和其他废物制成砖头来应对这场全球性的危机。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“We use a huge amount of single-use plastic each year-we buy one million plastic bottles each minute around the world.Plastic waste,a material that can take centuries or more to disappear, is causing great damage to the planet.”(我们每年使用大量的一次性塑料——我们每分钟在世界各地购买100万个塑料瓶。塑料垃圾,一种需要几个世纪甚至更长时间才能消失的材料,正在对地球造成巨大的破坏。)可知第一段主要写了很多现象,比如我们每年使用大量一次性塑料,购买了塑料瓶等等,塑料废料对地球能够造成巨大的破坏,目的是为了说明我们在使用塑料中的不负责任的表现。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中第四行“After seeing plastic waste Nairobi's streets, she decided to quit her job and built a small lab.”(在看到内罗毕街道上的塑料垃圾后,她决定辞掉工作,建立一个小实验室。) 说明是看到了在街道上有塑料废料,有塑料问题的意识后,她才会辞去工作,从而去发明一种新的能生产新砖的机器。故选 C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“the bricks have a melting point higher than 350℃ and can be used for a longer time than traditional bricks.”(这种砖的熔点高于350℃,比传统砖的使用寿命更长。)可知Matee的砖块比传统的砖块使用更长的时间。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“commonly used for plastic bottles,which can be made into the same form easily again and again.”(经常被用作塑料瓶,可以一次又一次地做成同样的形式。) 可知A选项“PET 瓶子容易回收”是正确的,B选项有误,C、D选项均未提及。故选A项。
D
To show empathy (共情) is to identify with another’s feelings. It is to emotionally put yourself in the place at another. The ability to empathize is directly dependent on your ability to feel your own feelings and identify them.
If you have never felt a certain feeling, it will be hard for you to understand how another person is feeling. If you have never put your hand in a flame, you will not know the pain of fire. If you have not experienced jealousy (妒嫉), you will not understand its power. Reading about a feeling and intellectually knowing about it is very different than actually experiencing it for yourself.
Among those with an equal level of emotional intelligence, the person who has actually experienced the widest range and variety of feelings — the great depths of depression and the heights of fulfillment, for example — is the one who is most able to empathize. On the other hand, when we say that someone “can’t relate to” other people, it is likely because they haven’t experienced, acknowledged or accepted many feelings of their own. Once you have felt discriminated (歧视) against, for example, it is much easier to relate with someone else who has been discriminated against. Our innate emotional intelligence gives us the ability to quickly recall those instances and form associations when we encounter discrimination again. We then can use the “reliving” of those emotions to guide our thinking and actions. This is one of the ways nature slowly evolves towards a higher level of survival.
For this process to work, the first step is that we must be able to experience our own emotions. This means we must be open to them and not distract ourselves from them or try to numb (使麻木) ourselves from our feelings through drugs, alcohol, etc.
Next, we need to become aware of what we are actually feeling—to acknowledge, identify, and accept our feelings. Only then can we empathize with others. That is one reason why it is important to work on your own emotional awareness and sensitivity — in other words, to be “in touch with” your feelings.
12. How does the author explain the feelings of empathy?
A. By giving examples. B. By having classification.
C. By making comparison. D. By providing data.
13. Which statement may the author agree with?
A. Low level of empathy leads to fewer varieties of feelings.
B. The deeper one’s feelings are, the more empathetic one is.
C. Empathy is a way we recently picked up for better survival.
D. Rich experiences of emotions may go with a high level of empathy.
14. What’s the purpose of the last two paragraphs?
A. To advise a sincere attitude to one’s experiences.
B. To suggest a right understanding of empathy.
C. To recommend sensing and recognizing one’s emotions.
D. To call for true acceptance of one’s identity.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Empathy Unfolds B. Be Open to Your Emotions
C. Why Is Empathy Important D. Accept Your True Self
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要论述的是什么是同理心及同理心的重要性,并说明了如何才能有同理心。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“If you have never felt a certain feeling, it will be hard for you to understand how another person is feeling. If you have never put your hand in a flame, you will not know the pain of fire. If you have not experienced jealousy, you will not understand its power.(如果你从来没有感受过某种感觉,你就很难理解另一个人的感受。如果你从来没有把手伸进火焰中,你就不会知道火的痛苦。如果你没有经历过嫉妒,你就不会理解它的力量。)”都是一些具体的例子,因此,作者是通过举例来解释同理心的感觉。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Among those with an equal level of emotional intelligence, the person who has actually experienced the widest range and variety of feelings—the great depths of depression and the heights of fulfillment, for example, —is the one who is most able to empathize.(在情商同等的人当中,真正经历过最广泛、最 多样的感受——例如,极度的抑郁和高度的成就感——的人是最有同情心的人。)”可知,作者可能同意的观点是丰富的情感体验可能伴随着高度的同理心。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“For this process to work, the first step is that we must be able to experience our own emotions.(要让这个过程起作用,第一步是我们必须能够体验自己的情绪。)”及最后一段的“Next, we need to become aware of what we are actually feeling—to acknowledge, identify, and accept our feelings.(接下来,我们需要意识到我们真正的感觉——承认、识别和接受我们的感觉。)”可知,文章最后两段的目的是提倡感知和认识我们的情绪。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“To show empathy is to identify with another’s feelings. It is to emotionally put yourself in the place of another. The ability to empathize is directly dependent on your ability to feel your own feelings and identify them.(表示同理心就是认同他人的感受。从情感上把自己放在别人的位置上。移情的能力直接取决于你感受和识别自己感受的能力。)”可知,本文主要介绍的是什么是同理心及同理心的重要性,如何才能有同理心,因此本文主要是关于同理心的开展,即How Empathy Unfolds。故选A。

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.

Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up? young man!” asked the driver. “I have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand.
The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need.
