A little girl ran to her bedroom and pulled out her piggy bank (储蓄罐) from a secret drawer in her closet. She took the change from it and counted it carefully three times.
She carefully placed the coins in a jar and twisted on the cap. She took the jar and slipped out of the back door. She made her way six blocks to a drug store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy attending other customers at that moment. She tried several times to get his attention but failed. Finally, she took a quarter from her jar and hit it on the glass counter, which was finally able to get her some attention.
“What do you want, little Miss?” the pharmacist asked the tiny girl in the front of his counter. “My brother is really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered back. “I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist. “My brother is really sick and my daddy says only a miracle can cure him now. So, I want to get a miracle for him. How much does it cost?” “I’m sorry but I can’t help you. We don’t sell miracles here, little girl,” the pharmacist said, softening a little.
Next to the little girl was a tall well-dressed man. He lowered himself and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” the girl replied with her eyes in tears. “I just know he is very sick and has something bad growing inside his head. Doctor says he needs an operation. But daddy can’t afford it, so we need a miracle to save him now. I can use all my money to save my brother.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and twelve cents, it’s all the money I have now, but I can get some more if needed,” the girl answered in a whisper. “Well, what a coincidence,” smiled the man. “That is the exact price of a miracle for a little brother. Take me to your brother. Let’s see if I have the miracle your brother needs.”
The man was a famous nuerosurgeon (神经外科医生). He was just the right person needed to save the little boy’s life. The operation was completed without any charges and it went successfully.
Her mommy wondered how much it would have cost. The little girl just smiled, but said nothing.

Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.
The app, called Social Recall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download Social Recall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.
46. What is Social Recall used for?
A. Taking photos. B. Identifying people.
C. Organizing events. D. Making friends.
47. What was Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How the app works.
B. How the app was created.
C What makes the app popular.
D. What people can do with the app.
48. How does Social Recall help people with prosopagnosia?
A. By giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones.
B. By collecting information previously entered in the phone.
C. By providing the information of a person when they first meet.
D. By showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face.
49. What can we infer about Social Recall from the passage?
A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended consequences.
C. It can prevent some communication disorders.
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.
50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future of Facial Recognition Technology
B. Social Recall: A New App for Face and Name Recognition
C. Privacy Concerns in the Age of Facial Recognition
D. How Technology Is Changing Social Interactions
D
To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.
In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case?
Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”
Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.
Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.
In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”
So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success?
51. Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play?
A. To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.
B. To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.
C. To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity.
D. To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value.
52. What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story?
A. Fame can block one’s achievements.
B. Strong determination overcomes adversity.
C. Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes.
D. Courage in the face of challenges leads to success.
53. What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory?
A. Embracing uncertainty. B. Managing life’s challenges.
C. Seizing hidden opportunities. D. Focusing on personal growth.
54. What is the author’s attitude towards adversity?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
55. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity.
B. Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation.
C. How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life.
D. Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively.

Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish.
She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets her reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.
My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.
About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my questions.
In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s? ”
“Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ”
“Try what? ”
“Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”
Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue with her French. “Age is just another bot- her attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually the world is filled with possibilities,” she once said.

A little girl ran to her bedroom and pulled out her piggy bank (储蓄罐) from a secret drawer in her closet. She took the change from it and counted it carefully three times.
She carefully placed the coins in a jar and twisted on the cap. She took the jar and slipped out of the back door. She made her way six blocks to a drug store. She waited patiently for the pharmacist (药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy attending other customers at that moment. She tried several times to get his attention but failed. Finally, she took a quarter from her jar and hit it on the glass counter, which was finally able to get her some attention.
“What do you want, little Miss?” the pharmacist asked the tiny girl in the front of his counter. “My brother is really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle,” the girl answered back. “I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist. “My brother is really sick and my daddy says only a miracle can cure him now. So, I want to get a miracle for him. How much does it cost?” “I’m sorry but I can’t help you. We don’t sell miracles here, little girl,” the pharmacist said, softening a little.
Next to the little girl was a tall well-dressed man. He lowered himself and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?” “I don’t know,” the girl replied with her eyes in tears. “I just know he is very sick and has something bad growing inside his head. Doctor says he needs an operation. But daddy can’t afford it, so we need a miracle to save him now. I can use all my money to save my brother.” “How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and twelve cents, it’s all the money I have now, but I can get some more if needed,” the girl answered in a whisper. “Well, what a coincidence,” smiled the man. “That is the exact price of a miracle for a little brother. Take me to your brother. Let’s see if I have the miracle your brother needs.”
The man was a famous nuerosurgeon (神经外科医生). He was just the right person needed to save the little boy’s life. The operation was completed without any charges and it went successfully.
Her mommy wondered how much it would have cost. The little girl just smiled, but said nothing.

Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.
The app, called Social Recall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download Social Recall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app’s creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.
46. What is Social Recall used for?
A. Taking photos. B. Identifying people.
C. Organizing events. D. Making friends.
47. What was Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How the app works.
B. How the app was created.
C. What makes the app popular.
D. What people can do with the app.
48 How does Social Recall help people with prosopagnosia?
A. By giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones.
B. By collecting information previously entered in the phone.
C. By providing the information of a person when they first meet.
D. By showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face.
49. What can we infer about Social Recall from the passage?
A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended consequences.
C. It can prevent some communication disorders.
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.
50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future of Facial Recognition Technology
B. Social Recall: A New App for Face and Name Recognition
C. Privacy Concerns in the Age of Facial Recognition
D. How Technology Is Changing Social Interactions
【答案】46. B 47. A 48. D 49. A 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款名为Social Recall的新面部识别应用程序,该应用程序旨在帮助用户在大型聚会等社交场合中识别他人,同时也关注到了用户隐私的保护问题。

细节理解题。根据第二段中“The app, called Social Recall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions.(这款名为Social Recall的应用程序通过智能手机摄像头和面部识别技术将名字和人脸联系起来,从而避免了正式介绍的必要)”可知,Social Recall应用程序是用来识别人脸的。故选B项。
【47题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“After receiving an invitation to download Social Recall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile.(在收到活动组织者发出的下载Social Recall的邀请后,用户会被要求拍摄两张自拍照并通过社交媒体登录。在活动中,该应用程序在先前定义的地理区域内处于活动状态。当用户将手机摄像头对准参与者的脸部时,该应用程序会识别出这个人,显示此人的姓名,并链接到其社交媒体资料)”可知,本段主要介绍了该应用程序是如何工作的。故选A项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed.(这家初创公司还专门为罹患面容失认症(俗称“脸盲症”)的人群开发了应用版本。使用者首先需要通过智能手机摄像头或现有照片获取人脸图像,标注对应姓名。当摄像头在真实场景中再次识别到相同面容时,系统便会自动显示预先录入的身份信息)”可知,Social Recall通过在发现存储的人脸时显示该人的信息来帮助患有脸盲症的人。故选D项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”(不过她提醒道,当人们选择向该应用共享个人信息时,应当意识到“这些数据可能在未知场景中被另作他用,进而引发难以预料的后果。”)”可推知,Social Recall可能会将个人信息另作他用,危及人们的隐私。故选A项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.(一款新的面部识别应用程序可能会提供帮助,但隐私专家建议谨慎行事)”可知,文章主要介绍了一款名为Social Recall的新面部识别应用程序,该应用程序旨在帮助用户在大型聚会等社交场合中识别他人,同时也关注到了用户隐私的保护问题。由此可知,B项“SocialRecall: A New App for Face and Name Recognition(SocialRecall:一款用于人脸和姓名识别的新应用程序)”最符合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
D
To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.
In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case?
Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”
Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.
Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.
In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”
So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success?
51. Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play?
A. To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.
B. To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.
C. To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity.
D. To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value.
52. What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story?
A. Fame can block one’s achievements.
B. Strong determination overcomes adversity.
C. Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes.
D. Courage in the face of challenges leads to success.
53. What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory?
A. Embracing uncertainty. B. Managing life’s challenges.
C. Seizing hidden opportunities. D. Focusing on personal growth.
54 What is the author’s attitude towards adversity?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
55. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity.
B. Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation.
C How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life.
D. Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively.
【答案】51. D 52. C 53. C 54. B 55. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述要积极面对逆境,在逆境中寻找自我价值和机会。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, ‘Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad(癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.’ Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. (该剧最著名的台词之一是老公爵在第二幕第1场中说的,‘甜蜜是对逆境的利用,就像癞蛤蟆一样,又丑又毒,头上还戴着一颗珍贵的宝石。’即使在500年前,逆境的潜在价值也得到了认可,不是由一位伟大的治疗师,而是由一位了不起的剧作家写就。)”可知,作者引用莎士比亚戏剧中的一句话,以表明人们长期以来对逆境价值的认识。故选D项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s.

Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. (快进到伟大的无声电影明星Mary Pickford。她被称为1910年代和1920年代世界上最受欢迎的女演员。随着‘有声电影’(有录音的电影)的出现,她未能继续表演,她与人共同创立了电影公司联合艺术家。她将自己的才华转移到制作和导演上,成为娱乐圈最有权势的女性。)”可知,从Mary Pickford的故事中我们可知,接受逆境会带来积极的结果。故选C项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段“Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. (逆境为那些准备利用的人揭示了真正的机会。John Krumboltz博士的偶然性理论指出,职业和生活的发展最好通过为你可能不知道的机会做准备来促进。许多不可预测的因素正在潜在地塑造未来。)”可知,John Krumboltz偶然性理论背后的理念是抓住隐藏的机会。故选C项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段“Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.(与其害怕和试图避免逆境,也许我们应该接受逆境的必然性并做好准备。事实上,积极的事情可以从逆境中产生。)”可知,作者对经历逆境的态度是赞许的。故选B项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it.

阅读表达
Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish.
She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets her reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.
My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.
About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my questions.
In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s? ”
“Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ”
“Try what? ”
“Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”
Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue with her French. “Age is just another bot- her attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually the world is filled with possibilities,” she once said.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者与祖母之间的日常交流,重点描绘了祖母积极向上、勇于尝试的生活态度,并表达了年龄不是限制、世界充满可能性的主旨。
【56题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据第二段划线词前面的内容“She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” (她经常问我这个问题,我总是这样回答——“为了让爷爷回来。”)”以及划线词后的内容“Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.(他们67年的共同生活总是让她微笑。)”可知,作者总是以同样的方式来回答:让爷爷回来,一提到这就会让奶奶想起了和爷爷在一起的时光,这些时光总是让奶奶微笑。故划线词意为“想起,记起来,想念”。故答案为Remembering./Thinking of./ Thinking about. /Missing.
【57题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.(我祖母出生在爱尔兰。在她十几岁的时候,她搬到了英国的一个贫穷的村庄。28岁时,我的祖母在雪地里步行生下了她的第一个孩子。50岁时,她在一次紧急手术中幸存下来。60多岁时,她饱受关节炎之苦,但仍成功攀登了威尔士最高峰斯诺登峰。)”可知,本段主要介绍了奶奶的生活经历描述了奶奶具有丰富的人生经历,她是一位非凡的女性。故答案为My grandmother has/had a rich life experience./My grandmother has gone through a lot./My grandmother is/was an extraordinary woman.
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ”(大约十年前,我注意到她的听力开始下降。如果我问她午餐吃了什么,她可能会说:“哦,今天天气真好。”)”可知,作者注意到祖母十年前开始失去听力,所以当作者问她午饭吃了什么时,她可能会说“哦,今天天气真好。”,这说明她无法听清作者的问题,因此会用同样的几个答案来回答作者的问题。故答案为Because she began to lose her hearing./Because she could not hear clearly.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第六段中““Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ”(“哦,Richard,很多人60岁就老了。他们只想整天坐着。你这样活不到90岁的。你必须尝试。”)”以及第八段““Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”(“试试走路,”她说。“试试园艺。试着做饭。尝试并不需要很多尝试。就尝一点。比如,你给我们煮的咖啡。我知道你尽力了。”)”可知,作者祖母认为人要想在老年时成功,就要不断尝试。故答案为They should remain active in old age./By trying different things./ They should try doing things.
【60题详解】
开放性试题。本题为开放性试题,回答合理即可。根据问题内容“In your opinion, what can young people do to improve the quality of old people’s life? (在你看来,年轻人能做些什么来提高老年人的生活质量?)”可知,本人认为:我们可以帮助老年人学习新的技能,使他们能够跟上社会的步伐。或者他们可以更经常地看望他们的祖父母,花时间和他们在一起。故答案为We can help old people to learn new skills so that they can keep pace with society./They can visit their grandparents more often and spend time with them.
