Jason Haney is a construction worker from Indiana. When he began his current job as foreman on a site opposite a children’s hospital this awesome dad and hobby artist had a brilliant idea.
Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside, and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms. So together with his teenage daughter, Haney built a 2.5-meter tall plywood (胶合板) cutout of Waldo from the famous Where’s Waldo? books.
Every day, the workers hide Waldo in a different spot on the construction site, giving the children a new challenge. As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo, the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again.
Heidi Prescott, a spokeswoman for Beacon Health System, which runs the hospital, said the project began one winter when the workers put up an inflatable (可充气的) snowman for the children. The kids loved the idea and from there it quickly developed into the Waldo cutout.
“It didn’t take long to catch on, the kids whether they are in the rooms or in a play area, they look across as soon as they get to the window,” Prescott told ABC News. “They will look all over the building, point and exclaim (惊叫) ‘I found him!’”
Haney, meanwhile, simply enjoys knowing that he can brighten the children’s day and make them forget that they are in hospital for a few minutes. Jason has said over and over again, “All I did this for was to make the kids smile.”
Haney even created a Facebook group where he leaves clues as to where Waldo might be hiding and the children can post photos of their findings. The project has been a huge success, with hundreds of people sharing photos of Waldo and happy parents thanking Haney for making an otherwise difficult visit to the hospital just that little bit more enjoyable.
41. Why did Jason Haney create the Waldo cutout?
A. To attract more attention to the hospital’s work. B. To practice his hobby of art with his daughter.
C. To make his construction site more famous. D. To bring joy to sick kids in the nearby hospital.
42. What can we learn about the Waldo game from paragraph 3?
A. The game is kept going by moving Waldo regularly. B. The kids need to find Waldo once a week.
C. The workers hide Waldo in the same place every day. D. The game ends when all kids find Waldo.
43. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Haney posted photos online to encourage the ill kids.
B. The Facebook group is only used to share hints about Waldo’s location.
C. Haney’s next project will be more successful than the Waldo one.
D. Parents think the Waldo project makes hospital stays easier for kids.
44. Which of the following words can best describe Jason Haney?
A. Considerate and serious. B. Shy and quiet.
C. Kind-hearted and creative. D. Selfless and humorous.
45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.
Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They're also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.
46. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shritk's_____.
A. remarkable design B. interesting name
C. major features D. basic elements
47. What has become a concern about plastic?
A. Using it properly. B. Producing it cheaply.
C. Developing its properties quickly. D. Evaluating its contributions fairly.
48. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because_____.
A. it can help plastic degrade B. it can be found in living things
C. its mass production has been realized D. its raw materials are abundant in mature
49. What are the inventors doing in the lab?
A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk. B. Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.
C. Making shrilk out of used household goods. D. Improving shrilk's flexibility for medical purposes.
50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Recent Progress in Environmental Protection B. Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research
C. The Harm of One-time Products D. A Possible Alternative to Plastic
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. D 49. B 50. D
【解析】

【47题详解】
细节理解题题。根据第二段中“Decades later, however, plastic's very durability is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries.(然而,几十年后,塑料的非常耐用性引发了人们的疑问:对于一次性产品,比如塑料袋,或者寿命较短的消费品,在家里使用几年,然后扔进垃圾填埋场,在那里它们会在几个世纪内降解)”可知,人们对塑料的担忧是适当使用它。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题题。根据第四段中“Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants.(制作它的材料在自然界中很丰富,从虾壳、昆虫身体到活的植物都有)”可知,据发明者说,虾丝有很大的潜力,部分原因是它的原料在自然界很丰富。故选D。
【49题详解】
细节理解题题。根据最后一段中“The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments.(发明者说,这种材料在潮湿的环境下变得灵活,所以他们正在探索在潮湿环境下使用它的方法)”可知,发明家们在实验室里测试虾丝在潮湿条件下的使用。故选B。

In the U.S., yellow means slow down, get ready to stop. But in Denmark, yellow gives you a signal before stopping and going. The idea that you’re given a moment to get ready to move, not just to hit the brakes, stuck with us.
Once we were back home, we started to notice how rarely we allow that in daily life. We prepare for endings constantly. We think through worst-case scenarios. We rehearse (排练) the breakup speech, the layoff call, and the backup plan. Yet, we rarely give ourselves space to prepare for beginnings. We do not practice coming back after burnout. We do not rehearse for the moment the proverbial light turns green, and we need to remember how to move forward again.
Most of us know how to handle disappointment because we have been trained to plan for it. We buy insurance policies to protect ourselves from loss. We hold backup plans in our heads, always ready with a plan B or C if things fall apart. However, we do not always know how to prepare for the moments when things go well. We are often caught off guard when the new job comes through, when the project is finally finished, or when the idea we have been carrying quietly suddenly takes off. What we do not practice nearly as often is preparing for joy.
The gap between preparing to stop and preparing to go reminds us of something in psychology called psychological flexibility. It’s really about the ability to shift and bend when life doesn’t go the way you thought it would. It’s noticing when the plan you had in your head no longer works and being willing to shift rather than cling to the map you drew months, or even minutes, ago.
Accept that beginnings feel clumsy. For example, the first day in a new job rarely feels smooth. You are trying to remember names, find the coffee machine, and pretend you’re not lost on your way back from the bathroom. The first draft of anything worth writing usually looks like something you’d rather hide in a drawer. It’s what standing in the yellow light feels like, knowing the move is coming, feeling a little awkward, and still not sure if your foot is on the gas yet.
However, life is not just about red lights that stop us or green lights that tell us to go, but the yellow in between matters too. It’s the space that lets us catch our breath, look around, and ready ourselves for whatever comes next.
51. What function does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?
A. To introduce the topic from a cultural difference.
B. To present a research finding on traffic lights.
C. To compare traffic rules in various countries.
D. To warn readers of potential traffic problems.
52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Breakups and layoffs are common in life.
B. People spend too much time on backup plans.
C. People lack preparation for new starts in life.
D. Burnout often stops people from moving forward.
53. What is psychological flexibility?
A. The ability to stick to original plans firmly.
B. The ability to adjust when life goes off track.
C. The ability to predict worst-case scenarios.
D. The ability to handle disappointment well.
54. What reading strategy may help understand the metaphor of “yellow light” in the passage?
A. Analyzing the author’s tone and writing purpose.
B. Identifying key words in each paragraph.
C. Comparing different cultural backgrounds.
D. Connecting the literal meaning to the symbolic one.
55. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“黄灯”在人生中隐喻意义——它是一个至关重要的过渡和准备阶段,呼吁人们不仅要善于为“结束”做准备,更要学会为“新的开始”创造心理准备空间,并培养适应变化的心理弹性。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In the U.S., yellow means slow down, get ready to stop. But in Denmark, yellow gives you a signal before stopping and going. The idea that you’re given a moment to get ready to move, not just to hit the brakes, stuck with us. (在美国,黄灯表示减速,准备停车。但在丹麦,黄灯是停车和通行前的信号。你有时间准备行动,而不仅仅是踩刹车,这种想法一直伴随着我们。)”可知,这里对比美国和丹麦对交通信号灯“黄灯”的不同理解,结合后文将讨论黄灯也是“准备启动”的过渡空间这一话题可知,该段的作用是通过一个文化差异来引出文章的主题。故选A项。
【52题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“We prepare for endings constantly. We think through worst-case scenarios. We rehearse (排练) the breakup speech, the layoff call, and the backup plan. Yet, we rarely give ourselves space to prepare for beginnings. We do not practice coming back after burnout. We do not rehearse for the moment the proverbial light turns green, and we need to remember how to move forward again. (我们不断为结局做准备。我们会考虑最坏情况。我们排练分手谈话,解雇电话,以及备用计划。然而,我们很少给自己空间为开始做准备。我们不会练习在精疲力竭后复出。我们不为众所周知的绿灯亮起的那一刻进行排练,我们需要记住如何再次前进。)”可知,该段主要对比“为结束做准备”的普遍性与“为开始做准备”的稀缺性,表明人们缺乏为生活中的新开始做准备。故选C项。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The gap between preparing to stop and preparing to go reminds us of something in psychology called psychological flexibility. It’s really about the ability to shift and bend when life doesn’t go the way you thought it would. It’s noticing when the plan you had in your head no longer works and being willing to shift rather than cling to the map you drew months, or even minutes, ago. (准备停止和准备开始之间的差距让我们想起心理学上所谓的心理灵活性。它是关于当生活不像你想象的那样时改变和变通的能力。它是注意到你头脑中的计划何时不再有效,并愿意改变,而不是坚持几个月前,甚至几分钟前画的地图。)”可知,心理弹性指的是当生活偏离轨道时进行调整的能力。故选B项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“In the U.S., yellow means slow down, get ready to stop. But in Denmark, yellow gives you a signal before stopping and going. (在美国,黄灯表示减速,准备停车。但在丹麦,黄灯是停车和通行前的信号。)”和最后一段“However, life is not just about red lights that stop us or green lights that tell us to go, but the yellow in between matters too. It’s the space that lets us catch our breath, look around, and ready ourselves for whatever comes next. (然而,生活不仅仅是红灯让我们停下来,绿灯让我们前进,两者之间的黄灯也很重要。这是一个让我们喘口气、环顾四周、为接下来的事情做好准备的空间。)”可知,文章以交通信号灯中“黄灯”的字面含义为落脚点,逐步将其象征意义扩展到人生哲学层面,代表“为开始做准备的过渡空间”。由此可知,理解文中“黄灯”隐喻的阅读策略,是将它的字面含义与象征含义联系起来。故选D项。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“However, life is not just about red lights that stop us or green lights that tell us to go, but the yellow in between matters too. It’s the space that lets us catch our breath, look around, and ready ourselves for whatever comes next. (然而,生活不仅仅是红灯让我们停下来,绿灯让我们前进,两者之间的黄灯也很重要。这是一个让我们喘口气、环顾四周、为接下来的事情做好准备的空间。)”可知,文章围绕“黄灯”这一核心意象展开,探讨其在人生中的象征意义:一个允许我们“喘息、观察、为下一步做准备”的空间。因此,B项“生活的‘黄灯’:准备的空间”最契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

Friends show off their pets on WeChat Moments, people walk dogs in the park and people watch videos of cats online. Everywhere you look, people seem to be enjoying their pets. Indeed, they are an important part of our modern lives, even for people who don’t own a pet.
A new report from Aug.15 sheds light on this trend. Asian Pet Show and online platform Goumin released the 2019 Chinese Pet Industry White Paper. It shows that China’s urban pet consumer market is expected to break through the 200 billion yuan threshold (门槛) this year, with the overall consumption scale reaching 202.4 billion yuan. That means an increase of 18.5% over that of 2018. Young people in big cities are the main contributors.
“Most young people are suffering from great loneliness and pressure. Keeping pets will help them feel cozy and relaxed,” wrote the report.
Many young people who leave their hometown to make a living in big cities have had pressure of living in a new place. After working all day in a competitive environment, they have few friends and face high cost of living.
Claire Krisko from the US is one of the many young people. She told Teen Ink, a website for the teenagers in the US, that she felt very lonely in her own city. To combat it, she bought a dog.
“After a hard day, seeing a happy face and wagging (摇动的) tail, bouncing (跳跃着跑) around the corner and running toward me will make my day better. I was no longer lonely,” she said.
Apart from relieving loneliness, many scientific studies have shown that keeping a pet reduces stress and may even improve overall health.
“Playing with or petting an animal can increase levels of the stress-reducing hormone (荷尔蒙) and decrease production of the stress hormone. These hormonal changes can help nervous people feel more relaxed and happy,” the BBC noted.
We always believe that pets have to live with humans, but it seems that many of us can’t live without our furry companions.
56. What is the trend that a new report from Aug.15 shows? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
57. Why do you think the young people in big cities are main contributors of the larger pet consumer market? (no more than 15 words)

58. What does the underlined word “combat” mean in Paragraph 5 mean? (no more than 3 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
59. In what ways does keeping a pet make a difference to people’s life according to the article? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
60. What do you think of keeping a pet? Give your reasons. (no more than 20 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. China’s urban pet consumer market is growing fast.
57. Because they suffer great loneliness and pressure and have few friends.
58. Fight against.
59. It relieves loneliness, reduces stress and improves health.

After working all day in a competitive environment, they have few friends and face high cost of living.(许多离开家乡到大城市谋生的年轻人都承受着在新地方生活的压力。在竞争激烈的环境中工作了一整天后,他们朋友很少,生活成本也很高。)”可知,大城市里的年轻人是更大的宠物消费市场的主要贡献者是因为他们遭受着巨大的孤独和压力,并且朋友很少。故答案为Because they suffer great loneliness and pressure and have few friends.
【58题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据文章第五段“Claire Krisko from the US is one of the many young people. She told Teen Ink, a website for the teenagers in the US, that she felt very lonely in her own city. To combat it, she bought a dog.(来自美国的Claire Krisko是众多年轻人中的一员。她告诉美国青少年网站Teen Ink,她在自己的城市感到非常孤独。为了……它,她买了一条狗。)”可知,Claire Krisko感到孤独,所以她买了一条狗来对抗孤独,因此“combat”在此处的意思是“对抗,与……作斗争”。故答案为Fight against.

Jason Haney is a construction worker from Indiana. When he began his current job as foreman on a site opposite a children’s hospital, this awesome dad and hobby artist had a brilliant idea.
Haney noticed that many of the sick kids at the Memorial Children’s Hospital in South Bend could not go outside and his construction site was the only view from their hospital rooms. So together with his teenage daughter, Haney built a 2.5-meter tall plywood (胶合板) cutout of Waldo from the famous Where’s Waldo? books.
Every day, the workers hide Waldo in a different spot on the construction site, giving the children a new challenge. As soon as Haney finds out that the kids have found Waldo, the cutout gets moved to a new secret hiding spot and the game begins again.
Heidi Prescott, a spokeswoman for Beacon Health System, which runs the hospital, said the project began one winter when the workers put up an inflatable (可充气的) snowman for the children. The kids loved the idea and from there it quickly developed into the Waldo cutout.
“It didn’t take long to catch on, the kids whether they are in the rooms or in a play area, they look across as soon as they get to the window,” Prescott told ABC News. “They will look all over the building, point and exclaim (惊叫) ‘I found him!’”
Haney, meanwhile, simply enjoys knowing that he can brighten the children’s day and make them forget that they are in hospital for a few minutes. Jason has said over and over again, “All I did this for was to make the kids smile.”
Haney even created a Facebook group where he leaves clues as to where Waldo might be hiding and the children can post photos of their findings. The project has been a huge success, with hundreds of people sharing photos of Waldo and happy parents thanking Haney for making an otherwise difficult visit to the hospital just that little bit more enjoyable.
41. Why did Jason Haney create the Waldo cutout?
A. To attract more attention to the hospital’s work. B. To practice his hobby of art with his daughter.
C. To make his construction site more famous. D. To bring joy to sick kids in the nearby hospital.
42. What can we learn about the Waldo game from paragraph 3?
A. The game is kept going by moving Waldo regularly. B. The kids need to find Waldo once a week.
C. The workers hide Waldo in the same place every day. D. The game ends when all kids find Waldo.
43. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Haney posted photos online to encourage the ill kids.
B. The Facebook group is only used to share hints about Waldo’s location.
C. Haney’s next project will be more successful than the Waldo one.
D. Parents think the Waldo project makes hospital stays easier for kids.
44. Which of the following words can best describe Jason Haney?

Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.
Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They're also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.
46. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shritk's_____.
A. remarkable design B. interesting name
C. major features D. basic elements
47. What has become a concern about plastic?
A. Using it properly. B. Producing it cheaply.
C. Developing its properties quickly. D. Evaluating its contributions fairly.
48. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because_____.
A. it can help plastic degrade B. it can be found in living things
C. its mass production has been realized D. its raw materials are abundant in mature
49. What are the inventors doing in the lab?
A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk. B. Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.
C. Making shrilk out of used household goods. D. Improving shrilk's flexibility for medical purposes.
50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Recent Progress in Environmental Protection B. Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research
C. The Harm of One-time Products D. A Possible Alternative to Plastic

In the U.S., yellow means slow down, get ready to stop. But in Denmark, yellow gives you a signal before stopping and going. The idea that you’re given a moment to get ready to move, not just to hit the brakes, stuck with us.
Once we were back home, we started to notice how rarely we allow that in daily life. We prepare for endings constantly. We think through worst-case scenarios. We rehearse (排练) the breakup speech, the layoff call, and the backup plan. Yet, we rarely give ourselves space to prepare for beginnings. We do not practice coming back after burnout. We do not rehearse for the moment the proverbial light turns green, and we need to remember how to move forward again.
Most of us know how to handle disappointment because we have been trained to plan for it. We buy insurance policies to protect ourselves from loss. We hold backup plans in our heads, always ready with a plan B or C if things fall apart. However, we do not always know how to prepare for the moments when things go well. We are often caught off guard when the new job comes through, when the project is finally finished, or when the idea we have been carrying quietly suddenly takes off. What we do not practice nearly as often is preparing for joy.
The gap between preparing to stop and preparing to go reminds us of something in psychology called psychological flexibility. It’s really about the ability to shift and bend when life doesn’t go the way you thought it would. It’s noticing when the plan you had in your head no longer works and being willing to shift rather than cling to the map you drew months, or even minutes, ago.
Accept that beginnings feel clumsy. For example, the first day in a new job rarely feels smooth. You are trying to remember names, find the coffee machine, and pretend you’re not lost on your way back from the bathroom. The first draft of anything worth writing usually looks like something you’d rather hide in a drawer. It’s what standing in the yellow light feels like, knowing the move is coming, feeling a little awkward, and still not sure if your foot is on the gas yet.
However, life is not just about red lights that stop us or green lights that tell us to go, but the yellow in between matters too. It’s the space that lets us catch our breath, look around, and ready ourselves for whatever comes next.

Friends show off their pets on WeChat Moments, people walk dogs in the park and people watch videos of cats online. Everywhere you look, people seem to be enjoying their pets. Indeed, they are an important part of our modern lives, even for people who don’t own a pet.
A new report from Aug.15 sheds light on this trend. Asian Pet Show and online platform Goumin released the 2019 Chinese Pet Industry White Paper. It shows that China’s urban pet consumer market is expected to break through the 200 billion yuan threshold (门槛) this year, with the overall consumption scale reaching 202.4 billion yuan. That means an increase of 18.5% over that of 2018. Young people in big cities are the main contributors.
“Most young people are suffering from great loneliness and pressure. Keeping pets will help them feel cozy and relaxed,” wrote the report.
Many young people who leave their hometown to make a living in big cities have had pressure of living in a new place. After working all day in a competitive environment, they have few friends and face high cost of living.
Claire Krisko from the US is one of the many young people. She told Teen Ink, a website for the teenagers in the US, that she felt very lonely in her own city. To combat it, she bought a dog.
“After a hard day, seeing a happy face and wagging (摇动的) tail, bouncing (跳跃着跑) around the corner and running toward me will make my day better. I was no longer lonely,” she said.
Apart from relieving loneliness, many scientific studies have shown that keeping a pet reduces stress and may even improve overall health.
“Playing with or petting an animal can increase levels of the stress-reducing hormone (荷尔蒙) and decrease production of the stress hormone. These hormonal changes can help nervous people feel more relaxed and happy,” the BBC noted.
We always believe that pets have to live with humans, but it seems that many of us can’t live without our furry companions.
