Over the years it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby started to want something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby began to study for a bachelor degree (学士学位) in business management. There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought. However, the best thing of this requirement (要求) was that it started his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger,” Allamby said. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic (现实的) job path—fixing cars, which helped support his family. But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 50 is crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor (教授) stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower. “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby said. And so, in 2015, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr. Carl Allamby. He now works as a doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. “How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids respect me, my community respects me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 51．Why did Allamby begin to study for a bachelor degree at age 34? A．To develop his business. B．To take part-time jobs. C．To take a biology course. D．To learn to be a doctor. 52．Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first? A．To accept the school’s requirement. B．To get away being a doctor. C．To help his neighbourhood. D．To help support his family. 53．When did Allamby walk into that biology class? A．In 2011. B．In 2013. C．In 2016. D．In 2017. 54．What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To live his dream. B．To be a doctor. C．To take science classes. D．To be a healthcare worker. 55．Which is the best to describe Allamby? A．A trustworthy nurse. B．A dream-follower. C．A careful businessman. D．An honest healthcare worker. 【答案】51．A 52．D 53．A 54．D 55．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Carl Allamby从经营汽车修理生意到追求儿时梦想成为医生的励志故事。他最初为发展事业攻读工商管理学士学位，后因课程要求重拾儿时梦想，最终在家人支持下放弃原有事业，通过努力成为了一名医生。 51．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“So, at the age of 34, Allamby began to study for a bachelor degree (学士学位) in business management.”以及前文“but Allamby started to want something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further.”可知，Allamby在34岁时开始攻读工商管理学士学位是为了进一步发展他的生意。故选A。 52．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic (现实的) job path—fixing cars, which helped support his family.”可知，Allamby最初选择修理汽车是为了帮助养家。故选D。 53．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class.”以及后文“In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr. Carl Allamby. He now works as a doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital.”可知，Carl Allamby出生于1972年 (2019-47)，所以他39岁上生物课是在2011年 (1972+39)。故选A。 54．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker.”以及“Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower.”可知，Allamby原本想成为医生，但觉得更实际的是目标低一点，结合前文他选择成为医疗工作者，可推断出“to aim lower”指的是成为一名医疗工作者。故选D。 55．推理判断题。根据文章整体内容，Allamby从经营汽车修理生意到追求儿时梦想成为医生，克服了重重困难，最终实现了自己的梦想，因此用“梦想追随者”来描述他最为合适。故选B。 B Children have an unbelievably curious mind. They explore new things because they just desire (渴望) to know. But as kids grow, they often fall into fixed (确定的) thinking patterns. George Land, a researcher from NASA, studied 1,600 children, testing their creative potential and curiosity levels at ages 5, 10, and 15. The first time these kids took the test, 98% scored the highest possible score. Five years later, only 30% of them scored well, For the third time only 12% of the kids did well. This dramatic decrease in curiosity could be caused by their increase in knowledge, according to George Land. Once they feel like there’s no gap (缺口) between what they know and what they want to know, they just stop curiosity. Curiosity, it seems, gets unlearned as people age. But why should we care? Research shows that our curiosity can be very good for us. Curiosity improves memory, a study finds that when students are highly curious about a fact, they are 30% more likely to remember it. Curiosity also builds patience. A study from Duke University shows that curious people are more willing to wait for the solution to a puzzle, while less curious people always rush through tasks, missing chances for deeper learning. The benefits of curiosity do not end here. Greater curiosity can make people more open to hearing others’ opinions, even if they differ from their own. Ready to do more to restore your curiosity? The good news is that low levels of curiosity don’t mean your curiosity is just gone. In fact, you can actively train your curiosity. One effective way is to ask yourself questions and write them down and find the answers later. This simple step of finding gaps in your knowledge naturally develops more curiosity. We all start out curious. It’s our choice to be curious or not. As physicist Richard Feynman wisely said, “Nearly everything is really interesting if, you go into it deeply enough.” And with the proven benefits, you may be surprised where curiosity leads you. 56．From the first paragraph, which of the following is right? A．Children become more curious when they become older. B．Children become less curious when they grow older. C．Children explore new things because their parents ask them to. D．Curiosity is bad for children. 57．How many benefits of curiosity mentioned in the passage? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 58．The word “restore” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______. A．恢复 B．减少 C．收到 D．热爱 59．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．Curiosity can not be trained. B．People can become curious when they choose to be curious. C．High curiosity doesn’t allow people to listen to different opinions. D．Less curious means the curiosity is just gone. 60．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain it’ s impossible to train curiosity. B．To explore different opinions for curiosity. C．To show how curiosity leads to academic success. D．To encourage people to restore their curiosity. 【答案】56．B 57．B 58．A 59．B 60．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了揭示了孩子随年龄增长好奇心逐渐下降的现象，分析了其成因，阐述了好奇心在提升记忆力、培养耐心和接纳他人观点方面的三大益处，给出了训练好奇心的方法，并最终鼓励人们主动选择保持和恢复好奇心。 56．细节理解题。根据“The first time these kids took the test, 98% scored the highest possible score. Five years later, only 30% of them scored well, For the third time only 12% of the kids did well.”可知，随着年龄的增长，好奇心逐渐下降。故选B。 57．细节理解题。根据“Curiosity improves memory...Curiosity also builds patience...Greater curiosity can make people more open to hearing others’ opinions”可知，好奇心能够提升记忆力；好奇心能够培养耐心；好奇心能够让人更容易接纳他人观点。故选B。 58．词句猜测题。根据“In fact, you can actively train your curiosity...This simple step of finding gaps in your knowledge naturally develops more curiosity.”可知，事实上，你完全可以主动去培养自己的好奇心，这种通过发现自身知识缺口的简单方法，会自然而然地进一步激发你的好奇心，因此此处restore与“恢复”含义最接近。故选A。 59．细节理解题。根据“We all start out curious. It’s our choice to be curious or not.”可知，我们每个人起初都充满好奇心。保持好奇心与否，是我们自己的选择。故选B。 60．主旨大意题。根据文章可知，孩子随年龄增长好奇心逐渐下降的现象，分析了其成因，阐述了好奇心的三大益处，给出了训练好奇心的方法，并最终鼓励人们主动选择保持和恢复好奇心，因此文章的主要目的在于鼓励人们恢复好奇心。故选D。 C Have you ever heard the saying, “Home, sweet home”? This is just another way of saying—it’s nice to be home! In fact, a lot of people and things we love are at home. What do you like about being at home? Maybe you like to play with your brothers and sisters. Maybe you enjoy staying with your mum and dad. Maybe you like to play with your pet. Spending time with your family is one example that makes being at home special. Your bedroom is another example to make home special.

For example, you can promise 72 (you) that you are going to finish your homework on time. They can also be about your physical 73 (healthy). But whatever resolutions you make, you should make sure that they can help improve your life or have something to do 74 self-improvement. Second, your New Year’s resolutions should not be very difficult 75 (keep). Before 76 (make) them, you should think carefully if you are able to keep your resolutions.

Over the years it had grown into two shops with 11 workers, but Allamby started to want something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby began to study for a bachelor degree (学士学位) in business management. There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought. However, the best thing of this requirement (要求) was that it started his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger,” Allamby said. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic (现实的) job path—fixing cars, which helped support his family. But at age 39 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 50 is crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor (教授) stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower. “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby said. And so, in 2015, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Dr. Carl Allamby. He now works as a doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. “How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids respect me, my community respects me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 51．Why did Allamby begin to study for a bachelor degree at age 34? A．To develop his business. B．To take part-time jobs. C．To take a biology course. D．To learn to be a doctor. 52．Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first? A．To accept the school’s requirement. B．To get away being a doctor. C．To help his neighbourhood. D．To help support his family. 53．When did Allamby walk into that biology class? A．In 2011. B．In 2013. C．In 2016. D．In 2017. 54．What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To live his dream. B．To be a doctor. C．To take science classes. D．To be a healthcare worker. 55．Which is the best to describe Allamby? A．A trustworthy nurse. B．A dream-follower. C．A careful businessman. D．An honest healthcare worker. B Children have an unbelievably curious mind. They explore new things because they just desire (渴望) to know. But as kids grow, they often fall into fixed (确定的) thinking patterns. George Land, a researcher from NASA, studied 1,600 children, testing their creative potential and curiosity levels at ages 5, 10, and 15. The first time these kids took the test, 98% scored the highest possible score. Five years later, only 30% of them scored well, For the third time only 12% of the kids did well. This dramatic decrease in curiosity could be caused by their increase in knowledge, according to George Land. Once they feel like there’s no gap (缺口) between what they know and what they want to know, they just stop curiosity. Curiosity, it seems, gets unlearned as people age. But why should we care? Research shows that our curiosity can be very good for us. Curiosity improves memory, a study finds that when students are highly curious about a fact, they are 30% more likely to remember it. Curiosity also builds patience. A study from Duke University shows that curious people are more willing to wait for the solution to a puzzle, while less curious people always rush through tasks, missing chances for deeper learning. The benefits of curiosity do not end here. Greater curiosity can make people more open to hearing others’ opinions, even if they differ from their own. Ready to do more to restore your curiosity? The good news is that low levels of curiosity don’t mean your curiosity is just gone. In fact, you can actively train your curiosity. One effective way is to ask yourself questions and write them down and find the answers later. This simple step of finding gaps in your knowledge naturally develops more curiosity. We all start out curious. It’s our choice to be curious or not. As physicist Richard Feynman wisely said, “Nearly everything is really interesting if, you go into it deeply enough.” And with the proven benefits, you may be surprised where curiosity leads you. 56．From the first paragraph, which of the following is right?
