Aarrav Anil has had a deep interest in mechanics (机械学) since childhood. This allows the teen to represent (代表) India at more than 20 robotics competitions around the world. But Aarrav didn’t create his smart spoon to win a prize. He saw his uncle, who has Parkinson’s disease (PD) ( 帕金森病), struggling to feed himself. Food kept falling out of his mouth, making him look like a mess. He wanted to make a change.
More than 7 million people in India have PD. The disease influences the brain, causing patients to shake uncontrollably. As the disease progresses, it leads to difficulty in eating by oneself.
Aarrav wanted his uncle to be able to eat by himself. This encouraged the teen to look for a way to help his uncle. So he took to his room with sensors ( 传感器), a 3D printer and other tools. But not everything went well.
“It was disappointing not to be able to find certain parts I needed in India. I had to buy some from abroad,” Aarrav said in an interview.
Aarrav made a first model, but the spoon handle was not easy for his uncle to hold. “I’ve improved the invention. It needs to be waterproof ( 防水的). The spoon must be easily separated, so that it can be cleaned and replaced with a fork. And the spoon needs to be deeper to hold more food,” the teen said.

In a small town, there was a very famous old carpenter (木匠) called Jacob. He could make many things, from a simple chair to a beautiful house.
One day, a young man came to visit Jacob and wanted to be a good carpenter. He loved working with wood, but he was impatient. He always did things in a hurry.
After a few days of learning from Jacob, the young man thought, “I can learn to make a house now. ”
After Jacob knew that, he said, “I can teach you to make a house, but first, you need to do an easy job.” He then gave the young man a piece of wood and said, “Polish (打磨) it.”
The young man thought it was easy. He polished the wood a few times and soon gave it back. Jacob shook his head and said, “It is not smooth. Try again. ”
The young man polished for another 10 minutes, and ran to give it to the old carpenter. Without seeing, Jacob shook his head again.
Feeling sad, the young man started to polish every part of the wood carefully, and then gave it to Jacob again. The old carpenter smiled and said, “The easier the job is, the more patience we need. That’s the secret you need to know. ”

“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person ” It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality (性格) test named the Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer.
Many people find the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Test Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ” “INFP”, or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “I” i s for “Introversion”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe different types can help them make decisions for activities, jobs, or even life choices more quickly.
But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’？”
When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that the over 50% of people got a different point when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an “I” and an “E”. Don’t label yourself! Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously.
( )66. According to Paragraph Two, what may you do if you are an “E” person
A. I like to cook meals at home on weekends.
B. I like to read books in the library on vacation.
C. I like to watch movies with a pet dog on Friday night.
D. I like to celebrate different festivals with different people.
( )67. What does the underlined word “generic” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Usual. B. Clear. C. Special. D. Fantastic.
( )68. What is the problem of the MBTI according to the writer in Paragraph Three
A. People don’t believe different types can help them make decisions.
B. Some questions are hard for people to answer.
C. Personalities can change with time, but the result never changes.
D. Many people are crazy about the MBTI.
( )69. Why does the writer write the passage
A. To show us what the MBTI is.
B. To tell whether the MBTI is useful.
C. To tell us how people use the MBTI.
D. To show how many people use the MBTI.

第二节 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。
F
There are many ways to get people to do what you want. You can order them around. “Do this!” “Do that!” You can also threaten (威胁) them. “You had better do what I say or else...” But these methods might not get the best results and you probably will lose a few friends.
“Half my teammates just told me they would give up!” M ike s aid t o m e angrily. “Well, maybe they wouldn’t leave you if you didn’t shout at them every time something went wrong,” I told him with a smile. “After all, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar (醋).”
As we all know, honey is sweet while vinegar is sour and hard to drink. The expression “you get more flies with honey than with vinegar” means it is a good idea to be nice to others.
Being mean or unpleasant is like being full of vinegar. You will push more people away, and nobody will like to be around you.
On the contrary (相反), being nice to other people is the best and easiest way to get what you want. You can win over friends and chances more easily by being polite and kind.
Therefore, for those who like ordering people around, I would say: _______, and you’ll get what you want more easily.
73. What will probably happen if we order people around (不超过10 个词)

74. When did Mike shout at his teammates (不超过5 个词)

It’s important for us to keep trying to achieve our goals. I love running and I have kept running for three years.
When I was in Grade 7, I was not good at sports and running was always my headache. I often failed in my running test. In order to catch up with my classmates, I began to practice running every day after school. Sometimes, I was so tired that I really wanted to give up. But I kept telling myself that I could make it. No matter what kind of difficulty I faced, I tried my best to keep running.
Now I do much better in running and I’m very proud of myself.

They wanted the new boat to be exactly like the old boat. And they wanted to make it the old way, too. The workers used wood from trees in Africa. They put the wood together with rope.
