Becoming a Museum Ambassador is one of them. To learn more about this volunteer program, please see the descriptions below. Museum Ambassadors at the American History Museum are a mobile source of information that helps bridge the gap between two other volunteer groups here at the museum — information desk specialists, who provide orientation (方向) assistance when guests arrive, and volunteer docents (讲师）, who provide Highlights tours, facilitate hands-on demonstrations and circulate through many of our exhibitions to interact with visitors. Each year, our Museum Ambassadors help over 100,000 people get the most out of their visits by welcoming groups, circulating throughout the museum's public zones to answer basic questions, and directing visitors to programs and exhibitions of interest. The museum has also employed the Museum Ambassadors to assist with special projects and events as needed. To learn more about what Museum Ambassadors do, check out what Larry has said, “As museum ambassadors, we get to share in the curiosity of a child, the nostalgia (怀旧) of returning visitors, the treasure hunt of students assigned to find important historical objects, and the amazement of those experiencing our eye on the nation’s history for the first time. We can help recommend a meaningful museum visit just for you. There’s more. We’re also traffic cops when elevators and escalators break and extra eyes for museum security.” If you enjoy… • interacting with diverse audiences, age groups and learning styles. • working in an often busy and changing environment. If you have… • strong interpersonal and communication skills. • an interest in history and communication. If you can… •commit to three shifts a month (weekday Ambassadors) or twice a month (weekend Ambassadors). The museum is open 364 days a year, including weekends and holidays. • handle frequent walking, standing, and talking. To Apply To learn more information about the application process, please contact Ruth Shirley.

A qualified Museum Ambassador should________. A. enjoy communicating with people B. speak at least two foreign languages C. have academic background in history D. commit to working three shifts at weekends 41. The author writes this passage mainly to__________. A. introduce volunteer programs for teenagers B. provide special tours to meet different needs C. invite people to visit the American History Museum D. attract potential applicants for Museum Ambassadors B When I wrote my first book three years ago, the words came naturally. Eight weeks of even rhythm (节奏) and it was finished with ease. So when I sat down to write my second book, I expected the same effortless flow. Instead, I found myself staring at a blinking (闪烁的) typing line that seemed to flash with quiet accusation. I couldn’t begin. Day after day, I repeated the same routines: I set up the perfect workspace, blocked out hours for writing, and reread old pages that had once made me proud. None of it helped. For a while, I blamed myself, mistaking my procrastination (拖延) for laziness or lack of discipline. Still, the familiar motions kept me occupied while the work itself remained still. Eventually, exhaustion softened my stress, and I stopped pushing. What if the resistance was trying to tell me something? I opened my journal and started writing — not about the book, but about why I couldn’t write it. The truth that poured out was simple and childlike: What if this book isn’t as good as the first? What if readers decide a woman like me has already said everything she knows? Beneath the delay, I found fear — not of the work, but of judgment. Procrastination had become a safety net; staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking. So I tried something different. I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came. A sentence, half an idea, a small whisper of a scene. My hand moved first, and my mind followed. Piece by piece, those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start. By the time I finished, I saw procrastination differently. It was never merely delay. It was a quiet dialogue between the part of me that wants to try and the part that fears the fall. What I once called wasted time was, in truth, the stillness before courage — the quiet reward of writing. 42．Why did the author keep following the same routines? A．To look for creative inspiration. B．To overcome her procrastination. C．To gain a false sense of progress. D．To improve her writing technique. 43．What actually prevented the author from writing? A．Lack of new ideas. B．Pursuit of perfection. C．Desire for social fame. D．Concern over disapproval. 44．How did the author manage to restart her writing? A．By taking one step at a time. B．By focusing on small details. C．By reflecting on the outcome. D．By following a flexible schedule. 45．What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph? A．Courage helps fight against fear. B．Stillness can be part of creativity. C．Procrastination is a waste of time. D．Persistence unlocks human potential. C The word “robot” was coined in 1920 by the Czech playwright Karel Capek meaning fully functional servants. For most of their history, robots have been inelegant mechanical devices sitting out of sight in factories. Things are starting to change, however. Robots are leaving carefully managed industrial settings for everyday life and, in the coming years, will increasingly work in supermarkets, clinics, social care and much more. They could not be coming at a better time. Many industries are facing a shortage of labor — the demand for workers has recovered much faster than expected and some people have left the workforce, particularly in America. Warehousing (仓库) has grown rapidly thanks to the e-commerce boom. Robots are picking items off shelves and helping people pack a rising numbers of boxes. They are even beginning to move slowly along some pavements, delivering goods or food right to people’s doors. Nowadays, short of workers but with lots of elderly folk to look after, having more robots to boost productivity would be a good thing. And yet many people fear that robots will destroy jobs. A paper in 2013 by economists at Oxford University was widely misinterpreted as meaning that 47% of American jobs were at risk of being automated. In fact, concerns about mass unemployment are overblown. The evidence suggests robots will be ultimately beneficial for labor markets. Japan and South Korea have the highest robot usage rate but very strong workforces. A Yale University study that looked at Japanese manufacturing between 1978 and 2017 found that an increase of one robot unit per 1,000 workers boosted a company’s employment by 2.2%. Research from the Bank of Korea found that robotization moved jobs away from manufacturing into other sectors, but that there was no decrease in overall vacancies. For all that, the march of the robots will bring big changes to workplaces, too. One supposed example of “bad automation” is self-service checkouts in supermarkets, because they displace human workers. But robots could perform unpleasant work. Checkout staff who retrain to help customers pick items from aisles (传送带) may find that dealing with people in need is more rewarding than spending all day swiping barcodes in front of lasers. In addition, as jobs change, workers should be helped to acquire new skills, including how to work with and manage the robots that will increasingly be their colleagues. The potential gains from the robot revolution are huge. In Capek’s play, the robots revolt(反抗)against their human masters and cause mass unemployment and worse. However, the beginnings of the world’s real robots have not matched Capek’s assumption. So there is no need to concern about their future. 46. The author mentions the two researches in paragraph 4 to ____________. A. illustrate an argument B. introduce an approach C. present an assumption D. highlight an experiment 47. What can we infer from the passage? A. New skills will be acquired by workers with the help of robots. B. The more robots are used, the greater employment it can bring. C. Robots will betray their human masters and cause worse problems. D. Checkout staff in supermarkets may be happier to do with people in need. 48. Towards wide spread of robots, the author is ____________. A. Sympathetic B. neutral C. opposed D. doubtful 49. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Future Risk: Jobs Being Automated B. Robot Revolution: Causes of Changes C. Workplace Automation: Rise of Robots D Robotization: Solution to Unemployment D Millions watch the Oscars every year, but I'm always interested in the Razzies (金酸梅奖), which recognize cinematic underachievement. For all the attention given to what we like, what we dislike can be just as important, interesting and empowering. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu saw dislike as snobbery. He saw all judgments of taste, favorable or not, as performances of class. The rich could justify their place, he argued, by claiming to have more refined tastes. Knowing which literature or art to praise could signal to. others their rightful place at the top of society. Oversimplified his theory might be, it is not entirely wrong. Furthermore, dislikes are often used as a way not to stand apart but to fit in. It means learning the unspoken rules of what's OK to like or dislike, and to proclaim those likes or dislikes loudly for others to hear. When some of us swim against the social tide, we might be savvy (精明的) enough to label our likes as “guilty pleasures”, which both acknowledges the rules and apologizes for violating them. In my research, though, I found that dislike isn't just a form of snobbery. We interviewed over 200 people, a diverse group in race, age, and social class. All the interviewees tended to actively dislike media content far more when they felt they couldn't escape it. Many people can't choose the radio station that's playing at work, or what's on TV at the bar. Moreover, some of us are subjected to more annoyance than others. Remote controls, for instance, have long been seen as a special right of dads, with women and kids given less power to change the channel. Everyone turns to media hoping for specific needs to be met, but those who have those needs realized less often are those who might dislike more often. Therefore, speaking about dislikes is an act of resistance — a refusal to allow public space to be conquered by the media content that doesn't connect. Dislike can certainly transform into anger or hate, but it may also take a more playful form. Sometimes we could see people joyfully watch the object of their dislike and offer a commentary of criticism, instead of tuning out and turning off. Why? Reveling in dislike can help regain control in a world that overwhelms everyone with content. Keeping the despised shows at hand rather than avoiding them can help the dislikers speak up in the court of public opinion. Or some might enjoy their dislikes as a way to avoid ruining certain relationships. Many of us can probably relate to the experience of having a friend who insists we watch something against our will. What if, rather than resenting the show or the person, we simply embrace it in all of its embarrassing glory? By all means, pay attention to the advice to “ignore the haters”. But a lot can be learned by listening to the dislikers. 50. According to Paragraph 3, people label their likes as “guilty pleasures” when they_________. A. follow the mainstream B. take pride in their taste C. set up the unspoken rules D. try to fit into a certain group 51. What can we learn from the passage? A.

Unfortunately, the world also requires us to work. Coping with the first while still doing enough of the second is … sorry, where am I? Ah, yes, the world is full of distractions. If you work in an office, it might be emails, phone calls or colleagues with questions to ask. If you are at home, it might be the contents of the fridge or a sudden fixation on dust mites (尘螨) under the sofa. Sometimes it takes even less. If you are sitting and doing work and someone near you says something particularly interesting, that can pull your focus. ___54___ So, how can we stay focused in our wandering minds? ____55____ And put your smartphone and other irrelevant screens away—they attract our attention even if they are off. If you tend to pop on headphones and use music to shut out distractions, avoid listening to anything familiar. Knowing the words or tune well will distract you even more. ___56___ If you are doing something repetitive like stuffing envelopes or laying bricks, being distracted by listening to music or a podcast or engaging in a conversation with a co-worker can ultimately boost productivity. ____57____ Jihae Shin, now at the university of Wisconsin-Madison, has found that when people played Minesweeper for five minutes before coming up with new business ideas, they were more creative than those who didn’t play. ___58___ In general, this is the enemy of productivity: it encourages mistakes, stops us from completing things, promotes forgetfulness and lowers the quality of writing. But when we are trying to come up with creative solutions, task-switching distractions can help prevent “cognitive fixation” on ineffective approaches. So if you are a creative type, try lining up two or more tasks and spend your day switching between them. Or if that doesn’t work, just go play with your phone. A. Not all distractions are bad, however. B. Switching between tasks can also help. C. Creativity can benefit from distraction too. D. Switching off email or messaging services helps. E. But you are not good at dealing with distractions. F. If you have trouble concentrating, I suggest you try the following ideas. G. If you are not careful, you will end up your day with nothing accomplished. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第64、65题各2分，第66题3分，第64题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 You might not have heard of the “fresh start effect”, but if you’ve ever made a New Year’s resolution, you’re familiar with it. It refers to the human tendency to take action towards achieving a goal after a special occasion or key date has passed. The fresh start effect is simple. Most people want to improve themselves in some way. When we hit important milestones, we’re often likely to reflect: are we where we thought we’d be by a certain age? Was this year a successful year, or did we waste it? Annual landmarks like birthdays, or the start of a new year, signify a new time period and an opportunity to leave slip-ups behind and to set new goals for better behavior. Research shows that anticipation of a new beginning is a key motivator for the fresh start effect. For example, people aged 29, 39, 49 etc. were 48% more likely to run a marathon for the first time. When they were approaching a new decade, they were more likely to search for meaning in their lives and try to improve themselves. The reason is simple. When we see our past self as separate from our current self, we feel it easier to introduce new goals and take action. What’s interesting about the fresh start effect is that we don’t need to wait for big milestones to take advantage of this sudden dose of motivation. Studies show that the first day of each month and even each week can also inspire us. These days, known as “temporal landmarks”, encourage us to step back and evaluate our current situation. And when we do this, we gain the motivation to be better: we become more driven and more productive. That is why people are more likely to start diets or exercise plans on Monday, rather than the next day. Fresh starts are exciting opportunities to learn from your mistakes and move forward. So if you’re currently experiencing loss of motivation, questioning the meaning of your work, or just feel like you’re stuck in a rut, why don’t you use the fresh start effect in your own life? 59.
