In the day, the view of Wuzhen is dominated by white walls and brown wooden doors, but this scene changes in the night when the different lights in the water town create various stunning colors against the black sky.
Of all the shops in Wuzhen, the workshop selling traditional handmade lanterns stands out the most during the night. The man behind these amazing creations is Gu Yeguang, a 53-year-old craftsman who was born into a family of lantern makers i Nanjing,Jiangsu province.
Although Gu has spent nearly his entire life making lanterns, he has never grown weary of the profession, saying that getting to teach the craft to young people is what motivates him these days.
To craft the frame of the lantern, Gu has to chop bamboo carefully into long and thin sticks before using a candle to scorch the areas that need to be manipulated. After bending the sticks, Gu binds the ends together and wraps the completed frame with paper. All these have to be done with great skills and rich experience.
The lantern workshop is without doubt one of the most popular attractions in Wuzhen. According to Gu, the workshop would receive more than 100 people during its opening hours from 9 am to 5 pm during the peak summer season. To craft a simple round lantern costs 30 yuan ($4.54). The more unique ones cost 50 yuan each.
After a large group of people departs the workshop following their short class on lantern making, Gu returns to his seat and continues work on an intricate dragon-shaped creation. But before he could even pick up his tools, a small girl and her mother enter the space.
“Mummy, mummy, I want a lantern!” the girl exclaims excitedly.
Gu raises his head and gets back on his feet.
“Sure, let’s get started then,” he says. “Let us-begin with this bamboo stick.”
And with those few words he lights up the workshop, not with his lanterns but the child’s cherubic (天使般的) smile.
24. Why is Gu still committed to making lanterns
A. He wants to pass down the craft to the young generation.
B. He has to earn enough money to support his family.
C. He regards making lanterns as a family business.
D. He masters better skills than others.
25. From paragraph 4 we can know making lanterns can be described as ______.

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although Gu has spent nearly his entire life making lanterns, he has never grown weary of the profession, saying that getting to teach the craft to young people is what motivates him these days.(尽管顾几乎一生都在制作灯笼，但他从未厌倦这项职业，他说，向年轻人传授这门手艺是他现在的动力)”可知，顾还在坚持做灯笼是因为他想把手艺传给年轻一代。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To craft the frame of the lantern, Gu has to chop bamboo carefully into long and thin sticks before using a candle to scorch the areas that need to be manipulated. After bending the sticks, Gu binds the ends together and wraps the completed frame with paper. All these have to be done with great skills and rich experience.(为了制作灯笼的框架，顾必须小心地把竹子切成又长又细的小棍，然后用蜡烛把需要加工的地方烤焦。弯曲木棍后，顾把两端绑在一起，用纸包裹好框架。所有这些都需要有高超的技巧和丰富的经验)”可知，制作灯笼需要高超的技巧，要求很高。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And with those few words he lights up the workshop, not with his lanterns but the child’s cherubic (天使般的) smile.(说完这几句话，他点亮了车间，不是他的灯笼，而是孩子的天使般的微笑)”中“he lights up the workshop”和“the child’s cherubic (天使般的) smile”可推知，“光明”和“天使般的微笑”寓意手工灯笼的美好前景。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，本文介绍了乌镇传统手工灯笼和工艺师傅顾业光，表达了对传统工艺和文化的尊重与热爱和对传统技艺得以传承的乐观态度，结合最后一段中“And with those few words he lights up the workshop, not with his lanterns but the child’s cherubic (天使般的) smile.(说完这几句话，他点亮了车间，不是他的灯笼，而是孩子的天使般的微笑)”可知，手工灯笼带给人们快乐，照亮人们的生活。由此可知，“Lighting up people’s lives.(照亮人们的生活)”最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
C
Recent headlines claimed that regular napping (打盹) can build a bigger brain and slow neural (神经的) aging. The research was published in the journal Sleep Health. To explore whether napping is beneficial to brain health over the long term, the study authors made use of UK Biobank,a database of in-depth genetic and health information from half a million residents of the United Kingdom.
Thanks to the data in the UK Biobank, they were able to link numerous gene variants (变体) to a greater likelihood of napping in 378,932 subjects (all of whom were aged 40 to 69). The likelihood of napping was measured based on how subjects replied to the question, “Do you have a nap during the day ” The options were“never or rarely,” “sometimes,” and “usually.”
When it comes to napping, two key variables (变量) that can influence data greatly are age and sickness. Older and sicker people tend to nap more often and for longer because they easily get tired. The researchers found that the people with the gene variants linked to napping had slightly larger brains than people without those gene variants, about 1.3% larger. That might sound small, but the authors of the study noted that it can be quite significant.
“Our finding of a larger total brain volume in those who usually nap is nearly equal to 2.6 to 6.5 years of difference in aging,” they wrote. “In addition, this difference roughly equals to the difference in brain volume between people with normal cognitive (认知的) function and mild cognitive impairment.”
Professor Tara Spires-Jones, President of the British Neuroscience Association, said that the study was well-conducted, but had remarkable limitations. “The napping habits of UK Biobank participants were self-reported, which might not be entirely accurate, and the ‘napping’ signature overlapped (重叠) greatly with the signature for cognitive outcomes in the study, which makes the causal (因果关系的) link weaker.” Additionally, as the brain is easily the most important organ in the body, it’s quite possible that people with larger brains simply need to nap more, rather than napping actually increasing their brain size. So don’t look to napping as an ideal way to buff up your brain.
28. What’s the major finding of the research
A. Regular napping does good to human brain.
B. Age and sickness has little to do with napping.
C. People with napping gene get tired more easily.
D. Napping people can live 2.6 to 6.5 years longer.
29. Which of the following research methods might be used in the research process
A. Logic reasoning. B. Unplanned sampling.
C. Data analysis. D. Doing Experiments.
30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “impairment”
A. damage B. recovery C. understanding D. development
31. Which of the following statements might Professor Tara Spires-Hones agree with
A. The research result is acceptable.
B. Napping boosts people’s brain size.
C. The study shouldn’t have used UK Biobank.
D. Napping doesn’t matter much to people’s brain.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近的头条新闻声称，有规律的午睡可以让大脑更大，减缓神经老化。文章对此进行了介绍。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Recent headlines claimed that regular napping (打盹) can build a bigger brain and slow neural (神经的) aging.(最近的头条新闻声称，有规律的午睡可以让大脑更大，减缓神经老化。)”可知，这项研究的主要发现是有规律的午睡对人的大脑有好处。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Thanks to the data in the UK Biobank, they were able to link numerous gene variants (变体) to a greater likelihood of napping in 378,932 subjects (all of whom were aged 40 to 69).(多亏了英国生物银行的数据，他们能够将378,932名受试者（年龄均在40至69岁之间）的许多基因变异与更大的午睡可能性联系起来。)”可知，研究过程中可能使用了数据分析的调查方法。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段最后一句中的“this difference roughly equals to the difference in brain volume between people with normal cognitive (认知的) function(这一差异大致相当于具有正常认知功能的人和……的脑容量差异)”可知，此处是指具有正常认知功能的人和认知能力有损的人，所以impairment意为“损伤”。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Additionally, as the brain is easily the most important organ in the body, it’s quite possible that people with larger brains simply need to nap more, rather than napping actually increasing their brain size. So don’t look to napping as an ideal way to buff up your brain.(此外，由于大脑是人体最重要的器官，很有可能大脑更大的人只是需要更多的午睡，而不是午睡实际上增加了他们的大脑体积。所以，不要把午睡看作是锻炼大脑的理想方式。)”可知，泰拉·斯皮尔斯-霍恩教授可能会认同小睡对人的大脑影响不大的看法。故选D。
D
Good morning! I’m glad this day has arrived and I’m so glad you are here. As you set off on the grand adventure of a liberal education, I want to share with you a bit of wisdom.
Today, I want to urge you to cultivate the habit of moving purposefully, systematically, slowly, not necessarily to slow down your pace in four years’ time, but to reflect on the ideas to which you will be exposed, and to be in a position to repair what is broken in the world you will then enter.
As perhaps never before, you have come of age in a culture of hurriedness. Yours is a generation that has never known life without the instant spread of information. Social networking was born before nearly all of you. And similarly, novel technologies that were unthinkable in my generation are native to yours.
Many of the innovations on which society has come to rely are the fruit of a mantra (口号) first expressed by Mark Zuckerberg. “Move fast and break things,” he instructed his staff at Facebook around the time of its 2004 launch. “Unless you are breaking stuff,” he continued, “you are not moving fast enough.”
To be sure, this mantra was eventually phased out (淘汰) as Facebook’s motto, but it remains very much a dominant ethos (理念) in today’s tech ecosystem.
This ethos also has gone into the DNA of newer online platforms that prioritize,rather harmfully, speed over depth. The appearance of artificial intelligence has allowed us to find its potential to compound (重) these trends.
So, rather than “move fast and break things,” I suggest here doing the opposite.
I am not against technological progress. I treasure the benefits of technological advance to our lives and our relationships. But the trend we have developed for the immediate divests us of the time and space necessary for careful reflection. So, I encourage you to watch out for it.
32. The speaker worries that the audience of this speech might become too ______.
A. adventurous B. shallow C. technological D. purposeless
33. Why does the author mention Mark Zuckerberg
A. To offer some background information for his speech.
B. To provide supporting evidence for his viewpoint.
C. To remove misunderstanding of his speech purpose.
D. To introduce the main problem mentioned in his speech.
34. What does the underlined “divests us of” in the last paragraph mean
A. reminds us of saving B. convinces us of using
C. saves us from losing D. prevents us from having
35. The speaker made the speech mainly to ask her audience to ______.
A. slow down college education B. catch up with the trends
C. slow down and fix things D. abandon using technology
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是一篇演讲稿，作者提醒大家在追求快节奏的生活中，要培养有目的、系统、慢慢地前行的习惯，反思所接触的思想，并修复世界上的问题；演讲者指出现代化社会追求速度和表面的趋势，并提出与其“快速前行并破坏”，不如相反地行事。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“This ethos also has gone into the DNA of newer online platforms that prioritize,rather harmfully, speed over depth.(这种精神也融入了较新的在线平台的DNA，这些平台优先考虑速度而不是深度)”可知演讲者担心这次演讲的听众可能会变得太肤浅。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many of the innovations on which society has come to rely are the fruit of a mantra (口号) first expressed by Mark Zuckerberg. ”Move fast and break things”, he instructed his staff at Facebook around the time of its 2004 launch, “Unless you are breaking stuff’, he continued, “you are not moving fast enough. ”(社会所依赖的许多创新都是马克·扎克伯格首次表达的口头禅的成果。“快速行动，打破陈规”，Facebook在2004年推出时，他这样指导员工，“除非你要打破陈规，”他继续说道，“否则你的行动还不够快。”)”可推知，作者提到Mark Zuckerberg是为他的演讲提供一些背景资料，故选A。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I am not against technological progress. I treasure the benefits of technological advance to our lives and our relationships.(我并不反对技术进步。我珍惜技术进步给我们的生活和人际关系带来的好处)”指出技术的好处，由but可知，前后是转折关系，划线词所在句子“But the trend we have developed for the immediate divests us of the time and space necessary for careful reflection(但我们为眼前发展的趋势divests us of我们仔细反思所需的时间和空间)”应该是介绍技术的缺点，即们为眼前发展的趋势使我们失去了仔细反思所需的时间和空间，由此可知，划线短语意为“使我们失去”，与D项“阻止我们拥有”意思相近。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Today, I want to urge you to cultivate the habit of moving purposefully, systematically, slowly,not necessarily to slow down your pace in four years’ time, but to reflect on the ideas to which you will be exposed, and to be in a position to repair what is broken in the world you will then enter.(今天，我想敦促大家养成有目的地、有系统、缓慢前进的习惯，不一定要在四年的时间里放慢脚步，而是要反思一下你将接触到的想法，并处于一种修复世界上被破坏的东西，然后你将进入)”可推知，演讲者的演讲主要是为了让听众放慢速度，解决问题，故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宋朝时深受儿童喜爱的玩具“磨喝乐”。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在宋代，有一种深受喜爱的玩具叫做“磨喝乐”，被誉为当时的“芭比娃娃”。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词Mo He Le作补充说明，先行词指物，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意：磨喝乐在中国传统的七夕节流行起来，并被广泛售卖。分析句子可知，空处作gained的宾语，popular的名词形式popularity“流行，受欢迎”符合题意，为不可数名词，表示流行起来。故填popularity。
【58题详解】
考查连词。句意：磨喝乐在中国传统的七夕节流行起来，并被广泛售卖。分析句子可知，空处连接前后两个谓语成分，两者之间是顺承关系，应用并列连词and连接。故填and。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它主要由木头和粘土材料制作而成，在体形、面部表情和头发上都有复杂的细节。分析句子可知，句子主干成分完整，空处的行为和谓语行为同时发生，空处作伴随状语，feature“以……为特色，以……为主要组成”和It逻辑上是主动关系，应用feature的现在分词形式。故填featuring。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意：一些磨喝乐人物甚至有固定的姿势，其典型特征是手持荷花和荷叶。分析句子可知，空处是修饰poses的定语，fix的形容词形式fixed“固定的”符合题意，表示固定的姿势。故填fixed。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：孩子们模仿这些玩具的外观并不罕见。分析句子可知，空处作表语，根据“for children to copy the appearance of these toys”可推知，此处指孩子们模仿这些玩具的外观并不“罕见”，common的反义词uncommon“罕见的，不寻常的”符合题意。故填uncommon。
【62题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：芭比娃娃以其时尚的风格和多样的服装吸引了全世界孩子们的注意。分析句子可知，空处作句子的谓语，结合句子内容可推知，时态可用现在完成时，表示动作从过去开始发生，持续到现在，也可用现在完成进行时，表示动作从过去开始发生，会继续进行下去，主语Barbie dolls为复数，助动词用have。故填have attracted/have been attracting。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意：同样，磨喝乐也以其独特的风格和迷人的外表吸引了孩子们。分析句子可知，空处修饰整个句子，结合句子所表示的情况和前一句相似可知，similar的副词形式similarly“相似地，同样”符合题意，且空处位于句首，similarly的首字母需大写。故填Similarly。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管是由不同的材料制成的，磨喝乐成功地创造了逼真的人物，强调儿童的娱乐和想象力，在古代发挥了重要作用。空后为动名词短语，表示“由不同的材料制成”，逗号后的句子表示“磨喝乐成功地创造了逼真的人物”，表明相反的两方面，因此空处应用意为“尽管”的介词despite，且空处位于句首，despite的首字母需大写。故填Despite。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：尽管是由不同的材料制成的，磨喝乐成功地创造了逼真的人物，强调儿童的娱乐和想象力，在古代发挥了重要作用。根据空前“played”和空后“essential role in”可推知，此处用固定短语play a role in表示“在某事中起某种作用”，且essential的发音以元音音素开头，应用an。故填an。

【答案】Dear James,
Recently, I have a keen interest in genome editing, but I still have some doubts and I’m writing to compare notes with you.
Genome editing, serving as a new weapon against diseases, will lead to a fundamental change in health care. Experts may use it to increase the human resistance to some diseases, to sharpen people’s senses or to make them more intelligent.
However, the widespread use of gene editing brings some moral issues and consequences. What if it is used improperly by those who seek fame and money Most terribly, it is likely to create genetic viruses, weapons or even the so-called “Frankenstein monster”.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 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。
Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist (接待员) for my unit. Before I advertised for the position, I was approached by another younger manager, who was one of my best friends, and asked if I would consider a transfer (转换) from his staff instead of opening a new competition. My natural question was to ask who he wanted me to consider and why.
It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, and had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts he, the manager, had made to settle the issues. Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts. What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands.
I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day. As promised, after thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that I would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision.
And, what I found out during this interview, left me quite shocked and deep in thought. As it turned out, the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning greeting, never gave a word of encouragement, and was constantly changing the work load and routines, always turning a deaf ear to what the employees said. The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident, hated to see a new work day start.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I decided to accept her transfer to my unit and her performance surprised me a lot.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I thought a lot about what had happened and several days later, I had a talk with the manager.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I decided to accept her transfer to my unit and her performance surprised me a lot. What started out as a shy, withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employees that I had ever worked with. Maria couldn’t do enough and was constantly asking for more and more responsibility. I was more than happy to give her what she needed — praise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.
I thought a lot about what had happened and several days later, I had a talk with the manager. I told the manager how outstanding the employee was, as well as my opinion. “Perhaps it is self-reflection instead of always finding fault with others that makes sense,” I suggested. “To tell the truth,” I continued, “sometimes, we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or developing as they should or could. It may be a wise idea that we often stand in others’ shoes and reflect on what we are doing.” The manager stood still seemingly with a thoughtful expression, his cheeks a little red.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者从同事那里接收了一名“有问题”的员工，结果这名一开始害羞、孤僻、害怕的员工后来变成了作者共事过的最高效、最忠诚的员工之一，这让作者明白不要总是挑别人的错处，自我反思才更有意义，要经常站在别人的立场上思考自己正在做的事情。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我决定接受她调到我的单位，她的表现让我大吃一惊。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽亚的工作表现受到了作者的赞赏和肯定。
②由第二段首句内容“我对发生的事情想了很多，几天后，我和经理谈了谈。”可知，第二段可描写作者与经理交流了自己最近的反思和想法。
2.续写线索：良好表现——积极回应——交流——反思——深思
3.词汇激活
行为类
①要求：ask for/require/demand
②处理：deal with/handle
③继续：continue/go on
情绪类
①害怕的：frightened/scared

To craft the frame of the lantern, Gu has to chop bamboo carefully into long and thin sticks before using a candle to scorch the areas that need to be manipulated. After bending the sticks, Gu binds the ends together and wraps the completed frame with paper. All these have to be done with great skills and rich experience.
The lantern workshop is without doubt one of the most popular attractions in Wuzhen. According to Gu, the workshop would receive more than 100 people during its opening hours from 9 am to 5 pm during the peak summer season. To craft a simple round lantern costs 30 yuan ($4.54). The more unique ones cost 50 yuan each.
After a large group of people departs the workshop following their short class on lantern making, Gu returns to his seat and continues work on an intricate dragon-shaped creation. But before he could even pick up his tools, a small girl and her mother enter the space.
“Mummy, mummy, I want a lantern!” the girl exclaims excitedly.
Gu raises his head and gets back on his feet.
“Sure, let’s get started then,” he says. “Let us-begin with this bamboo stick.”
And with those few words he lights up the workshop, not with his lanterns but the child’s cherubic (天使般的) smile.

A. He wants to pass down the craft to the young generation.
B. He has to earn enough money to support his family.

Recent headlines claimed that regular napping (打盹) can build a bigger brain and slow neural (神经的) aging. The research was published in the journal Sleep Health. To explore whether napping is beneficial to brain health over the long term, the study authors made use of UK Biobank,a database of in-depth genetic and health information from half a million residents of the United Kingdom.
Thanks to the data in the UK Biobank, they were able to link numerous gene variants (变体) to a greater likelihood of napping in 378,932 subjects (all of whom were aged 40 to 69). The likelihood of napping was measured based on how subjects replied to the question, “Do you have a nap during the day ” The options were“never or rarely,” “sometimes,” and “usually.”
When it comes to napping, two key variables (变量) that can influence data greatly are age and sickness. Older and sicker people tend to nap more often and for longer because they easily get tired. The researchers found that the people with the gene variants linked to napping had slightly larger brains than people without those gene variants, about 1.3% larger. That might sound small, but the authors of the study noted that it can be quite significant.
“Our finding of a larger total brain volume in those who usually nap is nearly equal to 2.6 to 6.5 years of difference in aging,” they wrote. “In addition, this difference roughly equals to the difference in brain volume between people with normal cognitive (认知的) function and mild cognitive impairment.”
Professor Tara Spires-Jones, President of the British Neuroscience Association, said that the study was well-conducted, but had remarkable limitations. “The napping habits of UK Biobank participants were self-reported, which might not be entirely accurate, and the ‘napping’ signature overlapped (重叠) greatly with the signature for cognitive outcomes in the study, which makes the causal (因果关系的) link weaker.” Additionally, as the brain is easily the most important organ in the body, it’s quite possible that people with larger brains simply need to nap more, rather than napping actually increasing their brain size. So don’t look to napping as an ideal way to buff up your brain.
28. What’s the major finding of the research
A. Regular napping does good to human brain.
B. Age and sickness has little to do with napping.
C. People with napping gene get tired more easily.
D. Napping people can live 2.6 to 6.5 years longer.
29. Which of the following research methods might be used in the research process
A. Logic reasoning. B. Unplanned sampling.
C. Data analysis. D. Doing Experiments.
30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “impairment”
A. damage B. recovery C. understanding D. development
31. Which of the following statements might Professor Tara Spires-Hones agree with
A. The research result is acceptable.
B. Napping boosts people’s brain size.
C. The study shouldn’t have used UK Biobank.
D. Napping doesn’t matter much to people’s brain.
D
Good morning! I’m glad this day has arrived and I’m so glad you are here. As you set off on the grand adventure of a liberal education, I want to share with you a bit of wisdom.
Today, I want to urge you to cultivate the habit of moving purposefully, systematically, slowly, not necessarily to slow down your pace in four years’ time, but to reflect on the ideas to which you will be exposed, and to be in a position to repair what is broken in the world you will then enter.
As perhaps never before, you have come of age in a culture of hurriedness. Yours is a generation that has never known life without the instant spread of information. Social networking was born before nearly all of you. And similarly, novel technologies that were unthinkable in my generation are native to yours.
Many of the innovations on which society has come to rely are the fruit of a mantra (口号) first expressed by Mark Zuckerberg. “Move fast and break things,” he instructed his staff at Facebook around the time of its 2004 launch. “Unless you are breaking stuff,” he continued, “you are not moving fast enough.”
To be sure, this mantra was eventually phased out (淘汰) as Facebook’s motto, but it remains very much a dominant ethos (理念) in today’s tech ecosystem.
This ethos also has gone into the DNA of newer online platforms that prioritize,rather harmfully, speed over depth. The appearance of artificial intelligence has allowed us to find its potential to compound (重) these trends.
So, rather than “move fast and break things,” I suggest here doing the opposite.
I am not against technological progress. I treasure the benefits of technological advance to our lives and our relationships. But the trend we have developed for the immediate divests us of the time and space necessary for careful reflection. So, I encourage you to watch out for it.
32. The speaker worries that the audience of this speech might become too ______.
A. adventurous B. shallow C. technological D. purposeless
33. Why does the author mention Mark Zuckerberg
A. To offer some background information for his speech.
B. To provide supporting evidence for his viewpoint.
C. To remove misunderstanding of his speech purpose.
D. To introduce the main problem mentioned in his speech.
34. What does the underlined “divests us of” in the last paragraph mean
A. reminds us of saving B. convinces us of using
C. saves us from losing D. prevents us from having
35. The speaker made the speech mainly to ask her audience to ______.
A. slow down college education B. catch up with the trends
C. slow down and fix things D. abandon using technology

67. 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。
Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist (接待员) for my unit. Before I advertised for the position, I was approached by another younger manager, who was one of my best friends, and asked if I would consider a transfer (转换) from his staff instead of opening a new competition. My natural question was to ask who he wanted me to consider and why.
It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, and had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts he, the manager, had made to settle the issues. Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts. What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands.
I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day. As promised, after thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that I would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision.
And, what I found out during this interview, left me quite shocked and deep in thought. As it turned out, the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning greeting, never gave a word of encouragement, and was constantly changing the work load and routines, always turning a deaf ear to what the employees said. The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident, hated to see a new work day start.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I decided to accept her transfer to my unit and her performance surprised me a lot.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I thought a lot about what had happened and several days later, I had a talk with the manager.
