Where are you most likely to read this article? A. In a book review. B. In a travel journal. C In a social magazine. D. In a travel agency website. B I’ve been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy growing up, I probably read hundreds of books. I read mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, and just about any other type of book I could find. I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear, no matter how many books I read over the years. Then suddenly, I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share. I wanted to share things that were full of goodness, love, joy, and happiness. I tried to ignore my desire at first, but as any writer will tell you, once ideas awaken inside of you, they don’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, or even a typewriter, but I grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me. When I was finally done, I didn’t know how to share my work with the world. There was no internet back then, no smartphones, and no social media. However, I sought out (找到) the editor of my local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I’d written. He was a good man, full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. After that, of course, nothing could stop me. I continued to write new articles each week, which were published in different local papers and later on the internet. Years later, I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form. Through my writing, I slowly became a better person. Writing allowed me to discover the goodness and light that exist in us all. I also found that we are all writers, whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we think, and with every action we take, we are writing our own life story. 41. Why did the author start writing? A. He wanted to try writing thrillers. B. He wanted to express his own ideas. C. He thought it would be easy after reading so much. D. He wanted to inspire others with his reading experience. 42. What can we know about the author’s writing career? A. It was lucky but short. B. It was busy and lonely. C. He like writing but he gave it up. D. He pushed forward with his writing. 43. After publishing his works, the author________. A. felt writing had improved him B. encouraged others to put pen to paper C often thought about the choices he made D. used social media to spread his influence 44. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. We will think twice before writing and action. B. We will make wise choice by writing articles. C. We will become a better person by writing. D. We are all the authors of our own lives. 45. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Hardworking. B. Cooperative. C. Humorous. D. Outgoing. C Do you have full confidence in your memory? There has been a discussion about whether it is shi or si in the sentence “Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man...” (“故天将降大任于是/斯人也”). Most people voted si as what they learned at school. However, People’s Education Press, a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks, claimed on Oct 26 that all its textbooks say shi. Supporters of si feel shocked and say they’ve experienced the “Mandela Effect” — the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event occurred when it didn’t. Many people believed that former South African president Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prison. However, Mandela was alive and well, eventually passing away in 2013. US researcher Fiona Broome created a website to detail her observations of this public phenomenon, coining the term. Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force. In fact, psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect, as reported on the US-based website Verywell Mind. For example, your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it, which is called confabulation (虚构症). However, try not to feel bad — this is not lying, but rather remembering details that never happened. The Internet may be another reason why we tend to have Mandela Effect events, as the news we read can be false from the beginning. In 2018, Science journal published a study of over 100,000 news stories discussed across Twitter. It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth. As a powerful way to spread information, the internet might be the main reason for falsehoods to enter our minds. 46. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning the discussion about a saying? A. To show our memories can be wrong. B. To provide a solution to the discussion. C. To raise readers’ interest in confabulation. D. To lead up to the topic of the Mandela Effect. 47. The underlined part in Paragraph 4 can be understood as________. A. borrowing the idiom B. describing the method C. inventing the expression D. correcting the description 48. What can we learn about the “Mandela Effect” from the passage? A. It refers to people’s different attitudes to a particular event. B. It can be explained from a psychological perspective. C. It can be improved by remembering details clearly. D. It can have a big influence on people’s health. 49. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. It is harder than ever to spot false news. B. False news travels faster than true stories. C. The Internet causes more Mandela Effect events. D. False information can be avoided from the beginning. 50. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Mandela Effect and Memory B. The Role of Psychology in Memory C. The Impact of the Internet on Memory D. The importance of Textbooks in Memory 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分25分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Did you ever wonder where Legos come from? A box? A toy store? A factory? Yes. But where did they first come from? Who invented them? What was that person’s story? When you learn about the Lego story, you will be surprised! Like many great inventions, the story is not just one of the great ideas, but of a ton of hard work, perseverance and courage. The story starts off in Denmark. Ole Kirk Christiansen was a carpenter who was struggling with his business. Then his wife, the mother of his 4 boys, died. This was very hard for everyone. He was looking for new ways to make money and to make his kids happy. So, he started making wood toys. They were of great quality. His 4 sons helped him with his business and, soon, word spread and big orders started coming in. But then the toys did not sell very well. He decided his toys needed a new name. He chose the name “Lego”, which in Danish means “play well”. Then, a few years later, his workshop was burned to the ground. Everything was destroyed. Ole almost gave up. But he decided it was very important to support his employees and kids. Not long after, he started to make a few plastic toys. He then got the idea to create a ‘system’ of toys that would build kids’ imagination and creativity. He built a village to test the idea. And the idea caught on quick! Soon sales were pouring in. Then they figured out how to connect the pieces to each other. Soon they decided to stop making wood toys and focus only on the connected plastic toys. Then they started to build more and more kinds of models. Each one had to be of the highest quality. Lego’s motto is “only the best is good enough.” Thanks to the perseverance of Ole and his sons, kids around the world can enjoy Lego toys, movies, amusement parks, clothing and much more. 51.
