Aside from excelling at all academic disciplines at school, my main goal was to ___1___ PE at all costs. In my twenties, I went for an occasional yoga or Zumba class, but that was really the summary of all my athletic accomplishments. That was until the end of 2016, when I was unexpectedly ___2___ . The odds of getting a new job soon were not in my favor and ___3___ thoughts of not being good enough started to kick in.

However, while being there, I got phenomenal ___4___ from all the runners, smiling, applauding and high-fiving constantly. Not a runner myself, I thought maybe I could give running a shot, just to try, to use my neglected gym membership and see where it ___5___ me. And so I tried.

In the meantime, I was able to ___8___ a few freelance projects. They offered me a good income, and, most importantly, the time to work out for the big race. Also, when I was going for interviews, I started to feel very confident in my abilities, experience and skills. I got my full-time job offer at my dream company just a couple of weeks before the half-marathon. Although I got an injury from over-training right before the race, I still went for it and still finished within my ___9___ time.

B Walking around the world may seem impossible, but that didn’t stop Angela Maxwell from putting one foot in front of the other. In 2020, Maxwell, then in her early 30s, began her walk around the world alone. After six-and-a-half years and over 32,000 kilometers, Maxwell’s walk ended where it began. Before she left on her journey, Maxwell found inspiration from women explorers of the past. “I read their books in hopes of finding encouragement — and I did — by learning about their challenges and struggles as well as their triumphs (胜利). Each woman’s story was quite different and it gave me the confidence to give my walk a try,” Maxwell said. After selling all of her belongings, Maxwell left her hometown of Bend, Oregon with 50 kilograms of camping gear (装备), dehydrated (脱水的) food, a water filter and clothing for all four seasons. Maxwell’s worldwide walk wasn’t easy. She suffered from sunburn and heatstroke (中暑) in the Australian desert and dengue fever (登革热) in Vietnam. She heard gunshots while camping in Turkey and was attacked in her tent in Mongolia. Still, she continued to walk. She learned beekeeping in the Republic of Georgia and camel-handling on the historical Silk Road in Mongolia. She helped a farmer renovate (翻新) his house in Sardinia and handed out food to homeless people in Italy. She gathered countless stories that she’d go on to speak about at schools, universities and conferences. When the reporter asked her what kind of person it takes to walk around the world, Maxwell said, “It’s probably a combination of ambition, a little stubbornness and a pinch of passion — not for hiking as a sport, but for self-discovery and adventure.” “I didn’t start walking because I was fearless—but rather because I was terrified. I was more afraid of not following my heart than I was of losing everything I owned and loved.” Throughout her journey, Maxwell raised about $30,000 for non-governmental organizations, such as Her Future Coalition and World Pulse that focus on supporting girls and young women. “Walking has taught me that everything and everyone has a story to share, we just have to be willing to listen,” she said. 24. What do we learn about Maxwell’s journey? A. She stopped her journey halfway. B. She made full preparations before her journey. C. She went on a journey with other women explorers. D. She got a lot of help from strangers during the journey. 25. Which of the following words can best describe Maxwell? A. Strong-willed and brave. B. Enthusiastic and careful. C. Modest and hardworking. D. Talented and thoughtful. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Giving brings you benefits. B. It’s never too old to learn. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. Difficult life experiences may result in success. C People do not always expect us to succeed. In light of this, what happens when we think that others expect us to fail? In one study, researchers carried out an experiment with 330 online workers, asking them to do a computer task that involved clicking on rapidly moving targets. They were told that someone was observing their performance. After they completed a 15-second practice, they received one of three messages — stating underdog expectations, high expectations, or neutral expectations — from the observer; unknown to them, the expectations were randomly (随机地) given to them. Participants then performed the task, which required both effort and focus to do effectively. Researchers found that those who experienced underdog expectations performed better than those who received high or neutral expectations. To find out why underdog expectations lead people to perform better, researchers ran another experiment with 156 business students, having them complete a negotiations simulation (模拟谈判). Before they started negotiating, they were told that experts made predictions on their possibility of negotiating effectively. Once again, researchers randomly gave them either underdog, high, or neutral expectations. After the negotiation, the students were asked questions about their desire to prove others wrong, their self-confidence, and their assertiveness (魄力). Like with earlier studies, those who experienced underdog expectations performed the best. In addition, instead of having greater self-confidence or being more assertive, the desire to prove others wrong was what helped researchers understand why those experiencing underdog expectations performed better. Of course, underdog expectations do not always translate to success. There are many more examples of people failing to overcome the low expectations others set for them. So, when does being an underdog lead to success rather than failure? Researchers reran the computer task of clicking on a target, but this time was a bit different: before participants received randomly given underdog, high, or neutral expectations, they were also randomly given information about the observer’s credibility (可信度). Specifically, participants in the high credibility condition read that the observer was a high performer in the same task and had an excellent record of predicting others’ performance. In the low credibility condition, participants read that the observer was a poor performer and was often incorrect about others’ performance. Researchers found that underdog expectations from both less and more credible observers motivated (激励) participants to aim to prove others wrong. But this motivation only translated to better performance in the face of less credible observers, while it failed when it came from more credible observers. It appears that trying to prove highly credible people wrong may have developed a sense of anxiety, which undermined later performance. Quite the opposite, people experiencing underdog expectations from less credible observers were able to use the desire to prove others wrong and perform successfully. Do these results mean leaders should set low expectations for their team to try to improve performance? Of course not. But they do suggest that more people can achieve success when they think others view them as underdogs. 27. The second experiment was intended to find out ________. A whether experts’ predictions matched the performance of the students. B. how researchers should present participants with different expectations. C. what was behind the improved performance of “underdog” participants. D. who would fail to overcome low expectations set before the negotiation. 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Different expectations were given based on participants’ assertiveness. B. Underdogs tend to outperform expectations in a low credibility condition. C. Self-confidence plays an important role in determining a person’s success. D. Participants were motivated to perform better when they trusted observers. 29. What does the word “undermined” underlined in Paragraph 7 probably mean? A. Weakened. B. Destroyed. C. Motivated. D. Translated. 30. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To present research findings about what causes underdog expectations. B. To compare the effects of underdog, high, and neutral expectations. C. To show how underdog expectations influence performance. D. To analyze when underdog expectations can lead to success. 第二节（共5道小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Culture shock is the feeling of uncertainty, confusion, or anxiety that people may get when they live in or visit another country that differs from their own. ______31______ It can undoubtedly affect people’s lives.

This drive comes from a need to achieve a balance within ourselves. Art refers to the theory and physical expression of creativity found in human societies and cultures. Its major fields include literary arts, performing arts (e.g. theater and dance) and visual arts (e.g. drawing, painting, photography, film and sculpture). Art is essential to our culture because it provides us with a deeper understanding of emotions. Through art, we learn to feel joy in times of happiness and we see pain and despair in times of suffering. Creating art allows us to slow down and experience a full range of our emotions, while viewing others’ art can release the emotions within us and allow us to explore our feelings. This can help us heal and grow and succeed both personally and professionally. Art encourages critical thinking and promotes communication. Throughout the entire process of creating and appreciating art, we need to make decisions. We use logic and reasoning to find meaning in what we see or create. Art is a medium to share thoughts, ideas and visions that may not be expressed in other ways. Through art, we gain a better understanding of past and present cultures. Yet more importantly, there are no language barriers in art and therefore it is universal. Art also enhances our lives. The process of experiencing art engages both the body and the mind and provides us with time to reflect. That’s why art is a necessity, not a luxury. It can make a community more beautiful and a workplace more interesting. Our homes reflect our personalities through the art we choose to display. Art can inspire us, make us happy and even motivate us. We need to express ourselves through art. When we take a closer look at our world and begin to see the art and creativity in it it can soothe, enrich or encourage ourselves. Art is beautiful, and beauty is an aesthetic quality. 36. What drives people to create and express themselves through art? ________________________________________________________________ 37. What can we get by viewing others’ art? ________________________________________________________________ 38. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
