Rob Shuter is a gossip columnist (漫谈栏作者), born partially deaf, with severely limited function in the one arm that is shorter than the other. Shuter’s own experience made him not only interested in what distinguishes people from one another, but also confident in his own differences.
Where does he gain such confidence Shuter says that his family helps him grow up in spite of his special needs. “My mum taught me that being different wasn’t just fine, it was great,” he says. That opinion helped him handle many challenges that he faced.
Being a disabled child affected not just how he saw himself, but how Shuter saw other peopled who didn’t quite fit in. He says, “It made me really aware of how I look at people: I make eye contact; I really listen. I try not to judge a book by its cover and to find beauty in the strangest places.”
That’s why he never tucks away his arm and speaks so openly about his experience. “I have got a huge scar down my arm and if somebody asks or looks at it weirdly (怪异地), I don’t feel bad for myself or bad for them,” he says. “It’s true in beauty too when you notice things on your face or your body that nobody else does. The more out in the open my arm is the fewer people notice it.” He said again, “If you have a spot on your face, you really don’t need to cover it up. Just own it! If you are losing your hair, own it! The amount of effort and time people spend trying to cover something up, even their own personalities, is ridiculous.”
That candor (坦率) has worked well in his professional life. The gossip columnist refers to himself on his website as Naughty But Nice Rob. He’s honest about the stars’ faults, but he tries to do it through a lot of humor and kindness, in the same way he treats himself.
41．Rob Shuter is probably interested in ________.
A．judging people by their appearance
B．writing novels about the society
C．talking about his working experience
D．telling one’s difference from another’s
42．How does Rob Shuter think of his physical difference
A．He is a bit unhappy and helpless.
B．He doesn’t think it is bad but great.
C．He thinks it has a deep effect on him.
D．He thinks bad things mean good ones.
43．What does the underlined phrase “tucks away” mean
A．Covers up. B．Notices. C．Shows up. D．Explains.
44．Which is absurd in the opinion of Rob Shuter
A．Often making mistakes.
B．Laughing at someone else.

D．One’s covering up his faults
45．Which of the following can describe Rob Shuter
A．Naughty, active and kind.

It is widely accepted that the adoption of electric vehicles will help reduce carbon emission greatly as we fight climate change, but there are still problems to solve before they are fully adopted. One of the biggest hurdles to the full adoption of electric vehicles is the lack of charging infrastructure (充电基础设施) across the U. S. Now, more than 50 power companies in the U. S. have joined forces to create the National Electric Highway Coalition (NEHC), which plans to build a coast-to-coast fast charging network by the end of 2023.
The Edison Electric Institute has announced the formation of the National Electric Highway Coalition, which includes 50 EEI members, Midwest Energy Inc., and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
“EEI and our member companies are leading the clean energy transformation, and electric transportation is key to reducing carbon emission across our economy,” said EEI President Tom Kuhn in a statement. “With the formation of the National Electric Highway Coalition, we are committed to investing in and providing more charging infrastructures necessary to promote electric vehicle growth and to help relieve customers’ anxiety.”
“The auto industry is committed to vehicle electrification and will invest over $330 billion in the technology by 2025. Additionally, a record number of EV models are expected to be available in this time frame,” said Alliance for Automotive Innovation President and CEO John Bozzella in a statement. “More importantly, this latest announcement by the Edison Electric Institute is one more step to furthering the adoption of EVs.”
To date, EEI’s member companies have invested more than $3 billion in projects to improve the EV charging infrastructure. EEI estimates that the U. S. will need more than 100, 000 EV fast charging ports to support the expected 22 million EVs that will be on the road in 2030. “This, however, is only one piece of the puzzle. Dealing with issues such as grid resiliency (电力网弹性), energy demands for charging, and equitable rollout (展示) of charging infrastructure will be an important and necessary part of a successful future of EVs,” said Tom Kuhn.
With nearly every major automaker announcing plans to change their lineups to fully electric vehicles, the EV charging network needs to be improved greatly.
46．What does the underlined word “hurdles” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Advantages B．Competitions C．Difficulties D．Results
47．What might be the results of the adoption of more charging infrastructures according to the passage
a. Worsening air pollution
b. Encouraging people to purchase EVs
c. Reducing a gas shortage
d. Relieving people’s anxiety
A．ab B．bc C．ac D．bd
48．What can be inferred from the announcement by the Edison Electric Institute in Para. 4
A．John Bozzella is positive about the announcement.
B．The announcement is well received around the world.
C．The announcement has disadvantages and advantages.
D．The announcement encourages more members to join the NEHC．
49．What does Tom Kuhn want to say in Para. 5
A．EVs will replace petrol cars soon nationwide.
B．There are still many problems to solve as for the full adoption of EVS.
C．More than 100,000 EV charging infrastructures have been in use in America.
D．It is difficult to deal with the problems brought by the charging infrastructures.
50．Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．Power Companies Plan to Produce More EVS.
B．Electric vehicles are Changing Transport Means.
C．The First Fast Charging Network is Coming by the End of 2023
D．US Power Companies Plan Coast-to-Coast EV Charging Networks
Changing jobs every couple of years used to look bad. It tells employers they can’t hold down a job, can’t get along with colleagues, or that they’re simply disloyal. That thought is fast outdated; the newcomers expect to continuously learn, develop, and advance in their careers.
There are a lot of arguments for changing jobs every few years. The economy isn’t what it used to be and never will be again. Workers who stay with a company longer than two years are said to get paid 50% less, and job hoppers (跳槽者) are believed to have a higher learning curve (曲线), and even to be more loyal, because they care about making a good impression in a short time and they know they’ll stay with each employer.
Patty McCord, former chief talent officer for Netflix, says young people should plan to change jobs every three to four years. “I think that the most important change in people’s thought is to view employees as smart contributors from the beginning. Everyone here wants to come in, do a great job, and contribute, then they either fit or they don’t. You build skills faster when changing companies because of the learning curve.” McCord says.
Why is the learning curve so high Because job hoppers place themselves outside of their comfort zones constantly. They join companies, know they have to learn fast, make great impressions, and improve the bottom line. As a result, they’ re usually overachievers and learn a lot in a short time.
McCord adds: People used to think that the longer they kept an employee, the more worth they were to companies. In fact, an employee who stays on the job and isn’t learning at a really high rate is not doing good work. But the employees that job hunt are the most receptive of becoming extremely useful, very fast.
McCord believes that the learning curve nearly flattens after three years. If one wants to make a difference, he should leave. Employee retention (留任) is a big issue, and it makes employers anxious, says McCord. They’ve invested a lot in hiring big talent. To that, McCord has some advice: In 15 years, your company is growing rapidly because of all the high, job-hopping achievers that have come and gone.
51．Why are job hoppers more loyal
A．Because their financial situation isn’t good.
B．Because they value good impressions in a short term.
C．Because they can get their pay to rise by 50%
D．Because they want to get no arguments with others.
52．What’s Patty McCord’s attitude to job hopping
A．Favorable B．Opposed C．Questionable D．Uncertain
53．It can be inferred that walking out of comfort zones will make people ________.
A．make a different impression B．contribute more to society
C．become more knowledgeable D．get more achievements
54．What are employers mostly concerned about
A．Employees’ loyalty B．Employees’ talents
C．Employees’ stability D．Employees’ learning curve
55．What’s the main idea of the text
A．Job hoppers are more loyal.
B．Job hoppers have a higher learning curve.
C．You should switch jobs every few years.
D．You should walk outside of comfort zones.
四、阅读表达
阅读短文，并按题目要求用英语回答问题。
When Tsinghua University’s new freshmen arrived on campus last August, the first question they were statistics released after the first group of the freshmen enrolled (注册、加入) in the university, more than half of the 540 students came alone. In a letter to freshmen this year, the president of Tsinghua University encouraged them to “start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet.”
To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves. The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus.
At Zhejiang University, a banner hanging in the information center says “Parents let go please; let us help your children.” Lu Guodong, dean (学院院长) of undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University, coined the slogan. “The slogan is for parents. Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes, children never grow up.” said Lu.
A girl arrived at the railway station with all her luggage and looked around for her university’s welcome team. She was Jin Hongting, 19, from Hebei province and would study industry and business administration at Beijing Union University.
When asked why she came alone, Jin said: “There’s no need to bother my parents to come with me. It only takes four hours from my hometown to Beijing.
Sometimes, however, the distance between university and home is so great that many parents are too worried to let their children travel alone. To reassure parents. Renmin University of China introduced a new method. It asked senior students to go back to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. This helps freshmen get used to living independently.
56．What will parents do when students register and find/their dormitory by themselves at Tsinghua (no more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________
57．What does the underlined word “coined” probably mean in Para, 3 (1 word)

All of these can be of great help to my translating job.
