B Dr. Myron Rolle, who shifted to his childhood dream of becoming a neurosurgeon (神经外科医生) after his N.F.L. (美国国家橄榄球联盟) career was stopped. He grew up in New Jersey. At 11 he’d read Gifted Hands, Ben Carson’s popular 1990 autobiography. It detailed how Carson went from being an inner-city youth with poor grades to the director of neurosurgery. After reading it, Rolle started running after two dreams. He wanted to be a professional football player and a neurosurgeon like Carson. For years, the neurosurgeon dream lay dormant. Rolle stood out playing as a defensive back for Florida State University (FSU). The Titans drafted him in 2010. But the football dream didn’t go as planned. Rolle played in no regular-season N.F.L. games. The Titans parted ways with him in 2011. He returned home to New Jersey, where he sank into a panic. His mother showed him his grade-school notebook. He saw where he had written both goals. “She looked me straight in the eyes and pointed at the first one,” he recalled. “She said, ‘This one’s done. Now we need to do this.’” “It was the most depressed I’ve been in my life,” he said. When asked how much he struggled with giving up his N.F.L. dream, he referred to the 2 percent philosophy that he picked up from his football coach at FSU — Can you be 2 percent better than you were yesterday? You can if you take small steps every single day toward a larger goal. “If you look at the outside, you will see my story as maybe something that is unable to achieve. I played in the N.F.L. and I was a Rhodes Scholar and now neurosurgeon. But doubts and uncertainty really went throughout my life. Dealing with work-life balance issues or challenges in the workplace — I just found ways to overcome these challenges.” 24. What inspired Myron Rolle to struggle for his dreams when he was young? A. The popularity of Gifted Hands. B. The story of N.F.L. game. C. Ben Carson’s struggling experience. D. Ben Carson’s failure lesson. 25. What do the underlined words “lay dormant” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Came true. B. Went smooth. C. Fell apart. D. Lay aside. 26. What was the most disappointing moment for Myron Rolle? A. Giving up the football dream. B. Going back to his hometown. C. Letting his mother down. D. Seeing the former notebook. 27. What can we learn from Rolle’s words in the last paragraph? A. Challenges bring precious opportunities. B. Everything happens for some reason. C. When one door closes, another opens. D. Enthusiasm keeps dream come true. C The sequel（续编）to the block extraordinary Chinese animation film, Ne Zha, was released on Chinese New Year’s day, that is, Jan 29. Like many other Chinese movies, Ne Zha 2 is also based on a Chinese mythological figure—protective deity（神）Ne Zha.The film’s script is based on a popular 17th century Chinese novel, the Investiture of the Gods, which is one of the first major literary works to feature “deities” and “demons” in Taoism and Buddhism. How come films based on Chinese mythology have become massive hits at the box office? Ne Zha 2symbolizes rebellion.The image of Ne Zha has been modified from the traditional tragic hero “returning to his father” to a modern rebel who “changes his destiny against God’s will”, which is in line with the spiritual aspirations of today’s youths and their determination to fight against labeling and pursue their goals.This kind of modification breaks the character’s “sacredness” myth, enabling it to resonate with the audience. The film is a fusion of cultural symbols.It combines punk style, modern colloquialism (俗话), names and other elements such as the “Sichuan-style Mandarin” accent of Master Taiyi who is the tutor of Ne Zha.This practice grafts traditional cultural symbols with popular culture, making the film appealing to the audience.At the same time, it fosters a unique cultural identity. Ne Zha 2 is a great innovation in visual aesthetics（美感）.The movie drives Gen Next Internet of things with 5G and smart technology, with fascinatingly innovative art direction, especially the misty landscape, which enhances the experience of going to the theater.That Ne Zha has been created with utmost care is evident from the fact that the character on the screen maintains its oriental aesthetic mood.Indeed, Ne Zha could become a new cultural brand of China. The film also illustrates changing family ethics.By transforming NeZha’s parents, Mr and Mrs Li Jing, from traditional, strict parents to loving father and mother who “go against God’s will to protect their son”, the filmmaker reconstructs Chinese family relationships, echoing the younger generation’s pursuit of “family roots” and building a cross-generational emotional connection. The film demonstrates the technological heroism of Chinese animators, reflecting Chinese film makers’ cultural confidence.Furthermore, the production team has increased the character count threefold from the prequel（前篇）, an accomplishment that seems to have impressed audiences.The number of special effects shots in Ne Zha 2 alone surpasses the total number of shots in Ne Zha 1, giving audiences a visually spectacular experience.This reflects a commitment to create a more immersive and awe-inspiring cinematic journey. 28.What is the main theme of the movie “Ne Zha 2 Demon Child Conquers the Sea”? A.A courageous tragic hero returning to his father. B.A contemporary rebel who does not submit to his given fate. C.A story about a deity who follows traditional values. D.A tale of a hero who adheres to societal norms. 29.What can we infer from paragraph 4? A.The film adopts classical Chinese literature exclusively. B.Modern cultural references are neglected in the film. C.Traditional mythological elements are solely focused on. D.The film gives full play to different elements like present-day dialects. 30.What technological advancement is employed in “Ne Zha 2”? A.The use of 2D animation techniques. B.The reliance on traditional hand-drawn animation. C.The blend of 5G and smart technology. D.The adoption of Chinese martial arts. 31.How does the film illustrate the concept of family relationships? A.By portraying Ne Zha’s parents as strict and traditional figures. B.By ignoring the role of family in Ne Zha’s lifetime. C.By representing Ne Zha’s parents as affectionate and protective characters. D.By unfolding Ne Zha as an orphan with no family ties. D The Stanford marshmallow（棉花糖） test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults we face a version of the marshm allow test every day. We’re not tempted by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets - all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value - a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombarded with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 32. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B.Delay eating for fifteen minutes. C. Share their treats with others. D. Show respect for the researchers. 33. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between_______. A. the rich food supply and our unchanged brain. B.the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 34. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Absorb new information readily. B.Protect the information environment. C. Use diverse information sources. D. Be selective information consumers. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Bitter Truth about Modern Humans C. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups D. The Later, the Better 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes you know that you should decline a request , but somehow end up reluctantly taking on an additional responsibility . 36 If you struggle with setting boundaries , don ' t despair .
