My dog, Harvey, is always looking for something to do. He loves to fetch the ball, run after birds’ shadows and bite bones. If none of those are available, he’ll find something else to do. He’ll chew our shoes, dig holes in the garden or take toilet paper off the roll. This is the reason we gave him a middle name: Danger.
Harvey Danger is a metaphor(暗喻) for my mind. He is like an active and creative mind. My experience with having a creative mind is that if I don’t give it a task, something will turn on itself.
To be frank, several years ago, I didn’t think I was creative. I was just an ordinary human sticking to my daily routine. But things changed when I came across an article written by Brene Brown. She put forward a theory I had never heard of. “There’re no such beings as creative people or non-creative people. There’re only people who use their creativity and people who don’t,” Brown wrote. “Unused creativity is not benign. It can transform and turn into anger, sorrow, shame and depression. ”
I have a mind that is all of those things combined and, if it doesn't have anything to take its attention, it will go searching for things. It tends to do negative things or find things like worries or troubles to focus on. That doesn’t mean that those with creative minds need to be busily thinking all the time. What it means is that our minds need a task. It's about releasing our creative energy to keep our minds healthy.
Before I throw a ball to Harvey-because it’s not only good for both of us, but also good for the garden that I don’t want dug up-I’ll leave you with Brown’s wisdom. Just give the dog a job, and you’ll have a happier life.
24．Why was the author’s dog named Danger
A．It warned people against possible dog bites.
B．He was born with an active and creative mind.
C．He would put things in a mess when free.
D．It showed the author’s creativity.
25．What changed the author’s understanding of creativity
A．His dog’s positive behavior.
B．An article about daily routine.
C．Brene Brown’s theory about creativity.
D．His strong desire to fight negative feelings.
26．What does the underlined word “benign” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Attractive. B．Abnormal.
C．Common. D．Harmless.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．Training dogs to help with housework.
B．Staying creative to add to our happiness.
C．Avoiding leaving a dog alone in the garden.
D．Keeping a creative mind healthy with tasks.
C
Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language？
In a recent Wall Street Journal article，technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so，we would be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones. That's because technological progress is extremely rapid. It's only a matter of time. Indeed，some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should learn a second language.
It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating“Noes Bueno dormer mucho” into“It's not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent（对等词）in the target language is actually the easy part of a translator's job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.
It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't — or shouldn't — involve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphs. Rather，it's about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time. Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situations, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.
28．What does the underlined word“imminent”in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Ready. B．Approaching.
C．Unpractical. D．Confusing.
29．Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent
A．Their data is not adequate enough.
B．The real meaning of words can vary.
C．Their accuracy needs big improvement.
D．A soul hasn't been breathed in them.
30．What view does the author hold about translation
A．Proper translation can be tough for humans.
B．Slight distinctions matter little in translation.
C．Some machines will interpret our world properly.
D．Cultures deserve more attention than words used.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．An Expert's Precise Prediction
B．The Complexity of Translation
C．Who Will Be a Better Translator？
D．Will the Language Barrier Actually Fall？
D
Your emotion helps you make sense of the world. At the core of an emotion is a subjective experience of the valence of it — what emotion scientists call “affect” (情感). Generally speaking, affect is what we are most focused on. Do you have chocolate cake in front of you That’s good! Do you see a spider on the table! That’s bad!
Your affective reactions tell you which experiences are desirable, and which aren’t, but the total emotional experience includes all you do and think. You can learn a lot by observing and describing them. You can also learn a lot by appreciating their secret life.
The problem is: the affective features of emotions tend to dominate. Our subjective valence of emotion is almost all we can see. When emotions are only about what is pleasant or unpleasant in subjective experience right now, the more important features of emotion disappear.
If you can slow down and expand; if you stop running or clinging (沉浸其中) and adopt a sense of curiosity, emotions become more subtle and different. When fear comes up, don’t walk away so that fear dissipates. Instead, stay. Allow yourself to feel the nervousness, the sweating, and everything else that comes along with it. It is one of the hardest things to do in life, but it’s also one of the most rewarding. If you run, you are telling basic parts of your brain, “I guess this threat really was real. I better stay away from it.” You are training yourself to fear, regardless of that situation. If you cling, you are saying, “Escape from this emotion is a threat”, and since it is not a happy experience, happiness slips through your hands like sand.
Note that you can not fool yourself. Just allow the full emotion. You will never enter into their secret life until you stop running or clinging. To control your life, you need to actively train your emotions to be your ally (同盟). Observe. Describe. Appreciate. Do that and you may find you have allies for healthy living that were there all along.
32．Why does the author mention “chocolate cake” and “spider” in paragraph 1
A．To explain the complex response of emotions.
B．To show the subjective experience of emotions.
C．To indicate the goodness and badness of the world.
D．To emphasize the significance of emotions in life.
33．What is the consequence if you just focus on your present feelings
A．The present feelings are less obvious.
B．The subjective emotions are less powerful.
C．The overall picture of emotions is easier to ignore.
D．The observation and description of emotions are easier.
34．What does the underlined word “dissipates” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to
A．Deepens. B．Spreads. C．Disappears. D．Sticks.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．The secret of emotions. B．The subjective experience.
C．The importance of allies in life. D．Magical functions of emotions.

Don’t Get Lost in the Term of Eco-tourism
Given that tourism produces harmful emissions, the term “green travel” can seem contradictory. Green travel will not solve the climate crisis, but knowing what to look for can allow you to make choices that do less harm and more good if you do choose to travel. 36
Don’t get hung up on the terms.
The key to better understanding and identifying sustainable travel options is recognizing that it’s actually actions—not words—that matter. Definitions can vary from person to person. 37
Ask questions.
Before you book a tour or hotel, prepare questions. For example: Do they support the local economy Are they ensuring the preservation of the natural environment 38 However, if you can’t find answers on the website, contact the property or tour operator directly.
39
You don’t have to plan a responsible travel and the ever-changing term alone. Contact organizations that provide training, accreditation and transparent standards. You can also join responsible travel communities on social media, where you can ask questions, share resources and learn alongside other travelers who share your values.
Start now.
You can’t do everything at once right away. Decide what you can do. Maybe it’s contributing to a conservation or community project. 40 Anyway, when you know better, do better.
A．Lean on and learn from others.
B．Find an operator who shares your personal values.
C．But it’s the truth behind the term that really matters.
D．Ask what the local government can provide you with.
E．Search for the answers such as data and policies on a company’s website.
F．Here are some expert tips on how to understand the vocabulary of green travel.
G．Maybe it’s immersing yourself in one destination rather than rushing around to see three.

You can find 2,000 different types of roses there, almost all types of roses in England. The Walled Gardens is open every day of the year, except Christmas. Second, the Woodland Garden. It is known for flowering plants, fruit trees and pathways through a wooded setting. In a word, Castle Howard is really beautiful. You could spend a whole day enjoying its beauty tomorrow.

But things changed when I came across an article written by Brene Brown. She put forward a theory I had never heard of. “There’re no such beings as creative people or non-creative people. There’re only people who use their creativity and people who don’t,” Brown wrote.(老实说，几年前，我并不认为自己有创造力，我只是坚持日常生活的普通人。但当我看到Brene Brown写的一篇文章时，情况发生了变化。她提出了一个我从未听说过的理论。Brown写道：“没有创造性的人或者非创造性的人。只有利用他们的创造力的人和不利用他们的人。”)”可知，关于Brown创造力的理论改变了作者关于创造力的想法，故选C。
26．词义猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词“benign”后文内容“It can transform and turn into anger, sorrow, shame and depression.(它可以转变并成为怒气、伤心、羞愧和抑郁。)”可知，后文说到未使用的创造力可以转变为一些消极情绪，故此处的“benign”与“harmless(没有伤害的)”意思相近，故选D。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“What it means is that our minds need a task. It's about releasing our creative energy to keep our minds healthy.(这意味着我们的思想需要一项任务。这是关于释放我们创造力来保持我们的头脑健康。)”可知，文章通过对小狗总是在找事情做的描述，表达了作者认为我们需要向小狗一样，通过不断地找事情做，通过释放释放创造力来保持我们的头脑健康，故文章主要讲述的是通过做任务来保持头脑健康，故选D。
28．B 29．B 30．A 31．D
28．词义猜测题。根据上下文“Indeed，some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language”可知，事实上，有些家长确信这种技术是迫在眉睫的，他们想知道他们的孩子是否应该学习第二种语言．故imminent意思是“迫在眉睫的“，故选B。
29．推理判断题。根据第四段的“It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't﹣or shouldn't﹣involve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphs．Rather，it's about translating meaning．And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression，humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time”可知，电脑用同义词取代一个词很难，因为单词的真正含义也各不相同。为了推断一个具体短语的意思，人类不得不同时理解很多信息，故可知，单词真正的意思是会随着语境的变化而变化的。所以选B。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it，how can we expect a machine to do better”，此句是说，来自不同文化的人互相冒犯却没有意识到（已冒犯了彼此），那么又怎么能期望机器比人做的更好呢？可以推测出准确的翻译对于人来说很难（因为有时人类没有准确的翻译而会无意中冒犯他人）。分析选项可知选A。
31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章开头“Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language”可知，本文主要介绍了未来的一种即时翻译器，但是同时提出由于语言中有许多对应词，这是机器无法精确翻译的。另外，因为文化背景不同，有时人类自己也无法精确的翻译好。由此可知，本文主要讨论了语言障碍会不会变小的问题。分析选项可知， D符合题意。
32．B 33．C 34．C 35．A
32．推理判断题。由第一段中的“At the core of an emotion is a subjective experience of the valence of it — what emotion scientists call “affect” (情感). Generally speaking, affect is what we are most focused on. Do you have chocolate cake in front of you That’s good! Do you see a spider on the table! That’s bad! (情绪的核心是对情感价值的主观体验，情感科学家称之为““affect” (情感)”。一般来说，情感是我们最关注的。你面前有巧克力蛋糕吗？太好了！你看见桌子上有蜘蛛吗！太糟糕了！)”可知，情绪的核心是对情感价值的主观体验，后面举例巧克力蛋糕和蜘蛛是为了论述这句话，表现情感的主观体验。故选B项。
33．细节理解题。由第三段中的“Our subjective valence of emotion is almost all we can see. When emotions are only about what is pleasant or unpleasant in subjective experience right now, the more important features of emotion disappear. (我们的主观情感价值几乎是我们所能看到的。当情绪只与当前主观体验中的愉快或不愉快有关时，情绪中更重要的特征就消失了)”可知，如果你只关注你现在的感受，后果是情绪的整体情况更容易被忽视。故选C项。
34．词句猜测题。由第四段中的“If you can slow down and expand; if you stop running or clinging (沉浸其中) and adopt a sense of curiosity, emotions become more subtle and different. When fear comes up, don’t walk away so that fear dissipates. (如果你能放慢速度并扩张；如果你停止奔跑或沉浸其中，并采取一种好奇心，情绪就会变得更加微妙和不同。当恐惧出现时，不要走开，以便恐惧dissipates)”可知，如果你停止沉浸其中并且培养好奇心，情感就会变得微妙和不同，说明恐惧也会变化，变得不恐惧，可得出画线词所在句讲当恐惧来临时，不要逃避恐惧，那么恐惧就会消失，dissipates意为“消失（Disappears）”。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。由第二段中的“You can also learn a lot by appreciating their secret life. (通过欣赏情感的秘密生活，你也可以学到很多东西)”和最后一段中的“Just allow the full emotion. You will never enter into their secret life until you stop running or clinging. (只需要充分的情感。你永远不会进入它们的秘密生活，除非你停止奔跑或沉浸其中)”可知，文章主要介绍了情感的秘密有哪些，包括情绪情感的核心，以及如何更好控制它们，成为情绪的盟友，A项“情感的秘密”符合文意。故选A项。
36．F 37．C 38．E 39．A 40．G
36．根据上文“Given that tourism produces harmful emissions, the term “green travel” can seem contradictory. Green travel will not solve the climate crisis, but knowing what to look for can allow you to make choices that do less harm and more good if you do choose to travel.(鉴于旅游业会产生有害气体，“绿色出行”一词似乎有些矛盾。绿色出行并不能解决气候危机，但如果你真的选择出行，知道要寻找什么可以让你做出伤害更少、好处更多的选择)” 可知，本句为过渡句，起承上启下的作用，根据标题和后文的小标题可知，文本主要介绍了几种理解和实践真正的生态旅游的建议。故F选项“这里有一些关于如何理解绿色出行词汇的专家建议”符合语境，故选F。
37．根据上文“The key to better understanding and identifying sustainable travel options is recognizing that it’s actually actions—not words—that matter. Definitions can vary from person to person.(更好地理解和确定可持续旅游选择的关键是要认识到，重要的是行动，而不是语言。定义因人而异)”可知，本句承接上一句，每个人对这个术语的定义都不一样，因此定义不重要，定义之后隐藏的真相才重要。故C选项“但真正重要的是这个词背后的真相”符合语境，故选C。
38．根据后文“However, if you can’t find answers on the website, contact the property or tour operator directly.(但是，如果你在网站上找不到答案，可以直接联系酒店或旅行社)”可知，本句列举实例，可以在公司网站上找一些相关材料，并联系下文，如果找不到需要及时联系。故E选项“在公司网站上搜索数据和政策等答案”符合语境，故选E。
39．根据本段内容“You don’t have to plan a responsible travel and the ever-changing term alone. Contact organizations that provide training, accreditation and transparent standards. You can also join responsible travel communities on social media, where you can ask questions, share resources and learn alongside other travelers who share your values.(你不必独自计划一次负责任的旅行和不断变化的术语。联系那些提供培训、认证和透明标准的组织。你也可以在社交媒体上加入负责任的旅游社区，在那里你可以提出问题，分享资源，并与其他与你有相同价值观的旅行者一起学习)”可知，本段内容是要学会向他人求助和学习。故A选项“依靠别人，向别人学习”符合语境，故选A。
40．根据上文“You can’t do everything at once right away. Decide what you can do. Maybe it’s contributing to a conservation or community project.(你不能马上做所有的事情。决定你能做什么。也许是对环境保护或社区项目的贡献)”以及后文“Anyway, when you know better, do better.(无论如何，当你知道得更多，就做得更好)”故结合上下文可知，本句是个人可以做的一些事情。故G选项“也许是让自己沉浸在一个目的地，而不是匆匆忙忙地去看三个地方”符合语境，故选G。
41．C 42．A 43．D 44．B 45．D 46．B 47．D 48．C 49．A 50．C 51．B 52．A 53．B 54．A 55．D

Precautions during an earthquake
The most important point as an earthquake occurs is to remain calm. Don’t get into a panic!
If you’re outdoors:
While you are driving, stop and stay in your car. Don’t stop on a bridge, or under trees, or a power line.
Move to an open area, away from falling objects. Stay away from buildings and trees.
If you’re indoors:
Try to get near a strong wall, the corner of the room or under a desk. Get away from windows and bookcases.
Do remember: don’t use elevators to escape. Meanwhile, don’t jump from a high building.
67．
Something gradually changed after that. We got along quite well. We were often seen study in the library as a group or walk to classes together. I tried to help whenever possible and shared my learning experience with them. I was really excited when I found learning methods which were suitable for them. With our joint efforts, their English performance improved significantly. The basketball players expressed their heartfelt gratitude to me after seeing their grades.
Meanwhile, the basketball players taught me how to play basketball. I learned a lot of basketball skills from them and became better and better at the sport, which made me have the confidence to take part in basketball games with them sometimes. Through basketball, I made more friends. Gradually, I became more outgoing and had the courage to communicate with others on my own initiative. Not only did I help the basketball players, but they changed me.
