I had a good job. No, a great job in a marketing division of a Fortune 500 company. Besides developing much of the sale and marketing literature for the company, I organized luxury travel trips for top salespeople to Hawaii and Spain on the largest tour ships in the world. However, after working for this first-class company for fourteen years, I got to think about what it would be like to design a job around what I enjoyed most and spend more time with my wife and sons.
My wife was a stay-at-home mom, so I would sacrifice (牺牲) our only income and insurance for nothing more than a pipe dream. Yet, after conducting extensive research, reading books on how to launch a business as a copywriter, the goal slowly developed.
At thirty-seven, I had an opportunity to chase a dream—to run a home-based business and spend more time with my family. While spending more time with my family, I launched my copywriting business in June 1991, 32 years ago.
Looking back, leaving the Fortune 500 company is one of the best decisions I’ve made. And, while working with clients, sharpening my writing skills on multiple subjects, and winning twelve writing awards, I had the honor to add these achievements to the resume of my life. I watched my sons grow up, played hundreds of unscheduled backyard baseball games and learned it’s more fun to play football in the rain.
How would I have benefited if I had never taken a break from my corporate career Life provides windows of’ opportunity, but they close quickly. For me, to remain in that first-class company during this “window” came at a price too high. I wasn’t willing to exchange more of my family life for my professional life.
4. What can we know about the author
A. He showed great love for his family. B. His company was going out of business.
C. His salary was very low in his company. D. He couldn’t adapt to the working environment.
5 What did the author intend to do after leaving his job
A. To become a house husband. B. To be a distinguished scholar.
C. To engage in fiction writing. D. To establish his own company.
6. What does the author say in paragraph 4
A. His decision to resign showed great will. B. His leaving the job offered a high return.
C. His dream of being a rich man came true. D. His exchange for family life was valueless.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Any Dream Is Worth Pursuing B. Family Needs Our Company
C. Every Decision Has a Price D. Writing Makes One Content
C
Emotions come in many ways: facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice and so on. Susan Goldin-Meadow sums up how people use gestures with speech in her new book, Thinking With Your Hands. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research.
Virtually everyone gestures. Like words, gestures are fixed within cultures and accompany speech as a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but they are told to lie and say it jumps. They do so in words, while their hands make a running motion.
Gesture isn’t sign language. Sign languages have clearly defined words and grammar, and differ geographically just as spoken ones do. Professor Goldin-Meadow spends a lot of time on home sign-systems of signs typically developed by deaf children in hearing families who aren’t exposed to a conventional sign language. Such children are essentially inventing rough but rich languages out of nothing, with features such as fixed word order and grammatical structures much like those in fully qualified languages.
Returning to conventional gesture, the author keeps her focus on child development. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture to indicate they begin to understand it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea. Children who still use only one word at a time may combine a word and a gesture; this successfully predicts that two-word phrases are just around the corner. And those taught to move their hands about when discussing a moral question from several angles soon start to see the problem from different points of view.
The final section of the book offers practical advice. Teachers are encouraged to use gestures and to observe those their students make. Parents are taught to fill in the word a child misses when they gesture rather than adding information. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention. Doctors can be trained to look out for gestures meaning that patients are thinking something they aren’t ready to say.
8. What does the text show in paragraph 2
A. Every country has its own gestures. B. A lie detection is used in many areas.
C. Cats are well skilled at using gestures. D. Gestures can reflect human real thoughts.
9. How do the deaf children communicate with family members according to paragraph 3
A. By home sign. B. By sign language.
C. By spoken words. D. By written means.
10. Why should a teacher observe the kids’ gestures in class
A. To predict the final outcome. B. To prevent kids from failure.
C To conduct the targeted teaching. D. To see the problems from all sides.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A guidebook to a language. B. An introduction to a book.
C. An essay on the art of gesture. D. A review of sign language.
D
Recent research revealed that the workplace is the perfect birthplace for “misergonia”, or desk rage, a name for deep anger caused by certain aspects of office life.
Sounds are often the cause of misergonia. The routine fire alarm test is a case in point. “Attention please,” shouts a voice impossible to ignore. “This is a test, it roars, making it clear that your attention isn’t in fact required. More shouting and noises follow. Then came a message of thanks for your attention. By the end of it all, an outburst would be sweet release.
Other noises arc just as annoying. The noise of clicking keys fills offices everywhere. But there’s someone hitting the keyboard hard, whose goal seems to be not producing a document but destroying the equipment before one can be created. Another tripwire for misergonia sufferers comes verbally (口头地). Large numbers of people start to make a point that has already been made. It’s a waste of time for listeners. Why not just say “I don’t value your time” and have done with it
For individual IT failures, the printer jams repeatedly, the headphones never work, or the mouse gives up at just the wrong moment. When it’s your turn to speak on a Zoom call, you move your mouse toward the button and nothing happens. And then there is the reply-all email. It starts with someone asking for help with a problem. In come one or two replies, and then suddenly, it’s as if nothing else matters other than weighing in on this one question. Deadlines are put off while staff members devote themselves to the matter at hand. But there’s a silent, suffering group for whom every new message lands as a hammer blow to them. Individuals have their own starters of misergonia, tiny things to which they are extremely sensitive.
There is no cure for misergonia. The workplace is where many people have to go and spend most of their time. Their habits and noises turn into something familiar for some colleagues and uncomfortable for others. The only release is to go home, close the door and relax yourself in a quiet environment.
12. How does a person with a desk rage feel about the fire alarm test
A. Concerned. B. Intolerable. C. Indifferent. D. Sweet.
13. What does the underlined word ”tripwire“ mean in paragraph 3
A. Starter. B. Equipment. C. Solution. D. Assumption.
14. What leads to desk rage according to paragraph 4
A. The lack of work efficiency. B. Unfamiliarity with the office facilities.
C. Some unexpected and unpleasant events. D. Improper interpersonal skills in the office.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To show how to get rid of desk rage. B. To explain the harm of noise pollution.
C. To demonstrate the cause for desk rage. D. To describe working conditions in the office.

Life is as good as you make it. I made the most of my time and I loved my life, fitting work, school, homework, and fun with my family and friends into my busy schedule. I was an outgoing, energetic, fun-loving twenty-something, with an optimistic attitude and strong faith. I valued my relationships and worked hard at achieving my goals.
I was living with a close friend while working at a few jobs to put myself through university. In my last term, life turned upside down. It was a clear morning on September 25th in 2020. I was working as a traffic controller, wearing my high-visibility jacket. As I was holding up my stop sign, I was hit by a car at about 80 kilometers an hour. I flew across the street, and landed in front of my coworker.
I was in critical condition. I was admitted to the ICU. After several surgeries, the doctor informed me that, according to the medical reports and my condition, I would never walk again.
Because of my brain injury, my memory didn’t last longer than the present moments that I was experiencing. My life was very difficult. I had lost all of my independence. For a long time, I required help to be fed, bathed, moved, dressed, and even taken to the toilet. I couldn’t stand. I could only lie down or sit in my wheelchair. I had also lost my sense of smell and taste.
I was slow to process information and my vocabulary was very simple. I couldn’t follow people’s conversations and I lost my creativity. I always felt stupid and confused. Without visual memory, I couldn’t distinguish fruits, vegetables, meats, animals, or even people that I should have known.

I had a good job. No, a great job in a marketing division of a Fortune 500 company. Besides developing much of the sale and marketing literature for the company, I organized luxury travel trips for top salespeople to Hawaii and Spain on the largest tour ships in the world. However, after working for this first-class company for fourteen years, I got to think about what it would be like to design a job around what I enjoyed most and spend more time with my wife and sons.
My wife was a stay-at-home mom, so I would sacrifice (牺牲) our only income and insurance for nothing more than a pipe dream. Yet, after conducting extensive research, reading books on how to launch a business as a copywriter, the goal slowly developed.
At thirty-seven, I had an opportunity to chase a dream—to run a home-based business and spend more time with my family. While spending more time with my family, I launched my copywriting business in June 1991, 32 years ago.
Looking back, leaving the Fortune 500 company is one of the best decisions I’ve made. And, while working with clients, sharpening my writing skills on multiple subjects, and winning twelve writing awards, I had the honor to add these achievements to the resume of my life. I watched my sons grow up, played hundreds of unscheduled backyard baseball games and learned it’s more fun to play football in the rain.
How would I have benefited if I had never taken a break from my corporate career Life provides windows of’ opportunity, but they close quickly. For me, to remain in that first-class company during this “window” came at a price too high. I wasn’t willing to exchange more of my family life for my professional life.

Emotions come in many ways: facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice and so on. Susan Goldin-Meadow sums up how people use gestures with speech in her new book, Thinking With Your Hands. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research.
Virtually everyone gestures. Like words, gestures are fixed within cultures and accompany speech as a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but they are told to lie and say it jumps. They do so in words, while their hands make a running motion.
Gesture isn’t sign language. Sign languages have clearly defined words and grammar, and differ geographically just as spoken ones do. Professor Goldin-Meadow spends a lot of time on home sign-systems of signs typically developed by deaf children in hearing families who aren’t exposed to a conventional sign language. Such children are essentially inventing rough but rich languages out of nothing, with features such as fixed word order and grammatical structures much like those in fully qualified languages.
Returning to conventional gesture, the author keeps her focus on child development. Some students who fail at a tricky mathematics problem may gesture to indicate they begin to understand it; they should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at sea. Children who still use only one word at a time may combine a word and a gesture; this successfully predicts that two-word phrases are just around the corner. And those taught to move their hands about when discussing a moral question from several angles soon start to see the problem from different points of view.
The final section of the book offers practical advice. Teachers are encouraged to use gestures and to observe those their students make. Parents are taught to fill in the word a child misses when they gesture rather than adding information. Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention. Doctors can be trained to look out for gestures meaning that patients are thinking something they aren’t ready to say.
8. What does the text show in paragraph 2
A. Every country has its own gestures. B. A lie detection is used in many areas.
C. Cats are well skilled at using gestures. D. Gestures can reflect human real thoughts.
9. How do the deaf children communicate with family members according to paragraph 3
A. By home sign. B. By sign language.
C. By spoken words. D. By written means.
10. Why should a teacher observe the kids’ gestures in class
A. To predict the final outcome. B. To prevent kids from failure.
C. To conduct the targeted teaching. D. To see the problems from all sides.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A guidebook to a language. B. An introduction to a book.
C. An essay on the art of gesture. D. A review of sign language.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Susan Goldin-Meadow在她的新书《用手思考》中所总结的人们如何在说话中使用手势及相关建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but they are told to lie and say it jumps. They do so in words, while their hands make a running motion.(实验对象看了一部电影，里面有一只猫在跑，但他们被要求撒谎说猫在跳，他们用语言说猫在跳，而他们的手做着奔跑的动作)”可知，实验对象虽然嘴上说猫在跳，但他们的手势反映了他们真实的想法，认为猫实际上是在跑。由此可知，手势能够反映人们的真实想法。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Professor Goldin-Meadow spends a lot of time on home sign-systems of signs typically developed by deaf children in hearing families who aren’t exposed to a conventional sign language.(Goldin-Meadow教授花了很多时间研究家庭手语系统，这些系统通常是由听力正常的家庭中没有接触到传统手语的失聪儿童开发的)”可知，失聪儿童是通过家庭手语与家人交流沟通的。故选A。

Recent research revealed that the workplace is the perfect birthplace for “misergonia”, or desk rage, a name for deep anger caused by certain aspects of office life.
Sounds are often the cause of misergonia. The routine fire alarm test is a case in point. “Attention please,” shouts a voice impossible to ignore. “This is a test, it roars, making it clear that your attention isn’t in fact required. More shouting and noises follow. Then came a message of thanks for your attention. By the end of it all, an outburst would be sweet release.
Other noises arc just as annoying. The noise of clicking keys fills offices everywhere. But there’s someone hitting the keyboard hard, whose goal seems to be not producing a document but destroying the equipment before one can be created. Another tripwire for misergonia sufferers comes verbally (口头地). Large numbers of people start to make a point that has already been made. It’s a waste of time for listeners. Why not just say “I don’t value your time” and have done with it
For individual IT failures the printer jams repeatedly, the headphones never work, or the mouse gives up at just the wrong moment. When it’s your turn to speak on a Zoom call, you move your mouse toward the button and nothing happens. And then there is the reply-all email. It starts with someone asking for help with a problem. In come one or two replies, and then suddenly, it’s as if nothing else matters other than weighing in on this one question. Deadlines are put off while staff members devote themselves to the matter at hand. But there’s a silent, suffering group for whom every new message lands as a hammer blow to them. Individuals have their own starters of misergonia, tiny things to which they are extremely sensitive.
There is no cure for misergonia. The workplace is where many people have to go and spend most of their time. Their habits and noises turn into something familiar for some colleagues and uncomfortable for others. The only release is to go home, close the door and relax yourself in a quiet environment.
12. How does a person with a desk rage feel about the fire alarm test
A. Concerned. B. Intolerable. C. Indifferent. D. Sweet.
13. What does the underlined word ”tripwire“ mean in paragraph 3
A. Starter. B. Equipment. C. Solution. D. Assumption.
14. What leads to desk rage according to paragraph 4
A. The lack of work efficiency. B. Unfamiliarity with the office facilities.
C. Some unexpected and unpleasant events. D. Improper interpersonal skills in the office.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To show how to get rid of desk rage. B. To explain the harm of noise pollution.
C. To demonstrate the cause for desk rage. D. To describe working conditions in the office.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了中国科技实力的发展及其对经济和社会的贡献。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：10年来，中国的科技实力随着国家经济实力的发展而不断壮大，成为中国现代化建设的动力。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词has grown，所以become用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语China’s sci-tech strength之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填becoming。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：就科研数量和质量而言，中国已连续多年保持全球第一的地位。此处是固定搭配：in terms of意为“在……方面”。故填of。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：就科研数量和质量而言，中国已连续多年保持全球第一的地位。分析句子结构可知，maintain作本句谓语，根据时间状语for many years可知，用现在完成时，主语是China为第三人称单数。故填has maintained。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：近十年来，中国取得了重大科研成果，包括核电技术和人工智能技术的发展，不仅促进了新兴产业的发展，也加速了传统产业的改造。空后是名词，所以空出应填形容词作定语，science的形容词形式是scientific。故填scientific。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：近十年来，中国取得了重大科研成果，包括核电技术和人工智能技术的发展，不仅促进了新兴产业的发展，也加速了传统产业的改造。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整句话，在从句中作主语，用which引导。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：2023中关村论坛原定于5月在北京举行。分析句子结构可知，schedule作本句谓语，和主语The 2023 Zhongguancun Forum之间是被动关系，用被动语态，根据后文的included可知，描述的是已发生的事，用一般过去时。故填was scheduled。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：科技是粮食安全的重要保障。根据所给提示词可知，应是和前文food构成名词短语：food security意为“粮食安全”。故填security。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：科技创新激发智慧医疗和新医学的发展。此处是固定搭配：the development of意为“……的发展”。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：互联网医院使医疗资源的分配更加均衡。此处是固定搭配：allow to do sth.意为“允许作某事”，所以需用不定式结构，又因为distribute和medical resources之间是被动关系，所以用不定式的被动语态。故填to be distributed。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：此外，农业科学技术的贡献率从10年前的53%增加到2022年的62%。空处修饰空后整个句子，用副词修饰，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Additonally。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Life is as good as you make it. I made the most of my time and I loved my life, fitting work, school, homework, and fun with my family and friends into my busy schedule. I was an outgoing, energetic, fun-loving twenty-something, with an optimistic attitude and strong faith. I valued my relationships and worked hard at achieving my goals.
I was living with a close friend while working at a few jobs to put myself through university. In my last term, life turned upside down. It was a clear morning on September 25th in 2020. I was working as a traffic controller, wearing my high-visibility jacket. As I was holding up my stop sign, I was hit by a car at about 80 kilometers an hour. I flew across the street, and landed in front of my coworker.
I was in critical condition. I was admitted to the ICU. After several surgeries, the doctor informed me that, according to the medical reports and my condition, I would never walk again.
Because of my brain injury, my memory didn’t last longer than the present moments that I was experiencing. My life was very difficult. I had lost all of my independence. For a long time, I required help to be fed, bathed, moved, dressed, and even taken to the toilet. I couldn’t stand. I could only lie down or sit in my wheelchair. I had also lost my sense of smell and taste.
I was slow to process information and my vocabulary was very simple. I couldn’t follow people’s conversations and I lost my creativity. I always felt stupid and confused. Without visual memory, I couldn’t distinguish fruits, vegetables, meats, animals, or even people that I should have known.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Just at this moment, my teacher Mr. Martin stepped in to help. He first told me that I should stay positive in my mind and do what I like to do. He told me about a hospital that would help me walk again, how I could regain my memory, taste, smell, etc., and how I could improve my creativity. I really thank this teacher. He let me go back to the original happy life.
On the other hand, I worked hard to strengthen my muscles and improve my range of motion. I worked hard to build up my body and asked my friends for advice on ways to improve my health. Under the supervision of my friends, I could run and feel my progress every day. Not only was my body healthier, but my mentality was also more positive and optimistic, and I felt the beauty of everything around me.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。作者生活态度积极，但偶然的交通事故导致作者失去了所有的独立性，需要别人帮忙吃饭、洗澡、移动、穿衣服，甚至上厕所。作者无法站立，甚至无法区分水果、蔬菜、肉类、动物，甚至是应该认识的人。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“就在这时，我的老师马丁先生进来帮忙。”可知，第一段可以描写老师帮助“我”的做法和过程。
②由第二段句首内容“另一方面，我努力锻炼我的肌肉，提高我的活动范围。”可知，第二段可以描写“我”锻炼的过程。
2.续写线索：失去能力—老师到来—老师鼓励—感谢—锻炼—心态变化—感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①再次得到： regain/ obtain again
②提高：improve/ enhance
③感谢：thank/ appreciate
情绪类
①保持乐观：stay positive/ keep optimistic
