Voluntary work in fact, brings many personal benefits. My personal experiences have affirmed my belief in this.
To begin, voluntary work has provided me with the opportunity to gain more insight into the lives of the less fortunate. I once volunteered to clean up one-room flats where the less fortunate lived in. When I first entered the flat, I was astonished at the state of the living conditions — it was overcrowded with people, messy household items, and newspapers. I was critical about the owners of the flat. However, as the cleaning proceeded, I learned more about their misfortunes and difficulties. I was regretful of my initial judgement of them. This incident has allowed me to learn more about people. Moreover, it has made me realise that many underprivileged communities are unjustifiably judged and discriminated against. I learnt that life is a lot more complex than I had imagined, and that I should always try to display empathy.
In addition, my experience with volunteer work has reminded me to be more thankful for the little things. When I volunteered at a school to teach basic life skills to students with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), I found that the students were very appreciative of the teachers, teacher assistants and even the school attendants. The students often said “thank you” and smiled politely. I felt that as much as I had taught them, the students too had taught me: they taught me a lesson on gratitude.
Finally, doing voluntary work has given my life more meaning. After doing voluntary work, I feel more connected to the rest of mankind, and now have a stronger sense of purpose in my life. Instead of just being absorbed in my own wants and needs, now make use of the abilities I have to extend a helping hand to those in need.
24 What can be inferred about the author’s first judgement on the people in the flat
A. Inspiring. B. Interesting. C. Pitiful. D. Rude.
25. Who taught the author to be more appreciative of life
A. The teachers. B. The volunteers.
C. The teacher assistants. D. The disabled students.
26. Which statement best describes the author’s attitude towards voluntary work
A. Do as you would be done by.
B. Kill two birds with one stone.
C. All things are difficult before they are easy.
D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
27. How does the author mainly prove his idea
A. By quoting others’ words.
B. By using parallel sentences.
C. By giving opinions and facts.
D. By listing examples and numbers.
C
Will your job be done by a robot in the future Bank of England economist s predict that almost half of all UK jobs are under threat of automation. But could even the admired profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators
At first glance, teaching might seem impossible to be replaced by robots. Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to copy exactly. They judge pupils’ needs and tailor feedback accordingly. They adapt materials to make them more engaging and effective. And they provide kind care: looking out for students who drop behind or disturb the class.
Despite that some believe the future of education will be technological. Futurist Thomas Frey, from Business Insider magazine, predicts that “by 2030 the largest company on the internet is going to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet.”
He thinks that ‘bots’— online robot teachers will make education so efficient that students will be able to compress (压缩) an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning. A bot learns what your “idiosyncrasies” “interests” and “reference points” are, “and it figures out how to teach you in a faster and faster way over time,” according to Frey.
Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached over the last decade, there has been a huge increase in online learning panies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace. But there are limitations. Without the face-to-face inspiration of a classroom environment, the majority of students fail to complete online courses. How to keep motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master.
Indeed, Frey admits there is some way to go: “Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.” What do teachers themselves think about this Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should accept change, even though people will lose their jobs.
28. What’s the second paragraph mainly about
A. Teaching by robots can be replaced. B. The advantages of face-to-face teaching.
C. Human teachers will be replaced by robots. D. The potential of the electronic educators.
29. What does the underlined word “idiosyncrasies” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Personalities. B. Senses. C. Nationalities. D. Families.
30. Why are Udemy and Khan Academy mentioned
A. To tell how online learning is progressing. B. To show the significance of online learning.
C. To explain people how online learning works. D. To suggest the shortcomings of online learning.
31. What might be talked about following the last paragraph
A. How robots will change in the future. B. How artificial intelligence will destroy jobs.
C. How educators will meet the future challenge. D. How electronic educators will lose their jobs.
D
We’ve all heard of IQ, and EQ, but have you heard of AQ AQ stands for adversity (逆境) quotient and measures your ability to deal with the ups and downs of life. Being able to handle these rough patches we all go through is not only important in our personal lives but in our professional lives too. So how can we learn to be more resilient
Adverse situations can take us by surprise and shock us. In the workplace, it could be in the form of firings, the company we work for going under or being restructured, or even missing out on a promotion. Failed friendships and relationships, financial hard times and even deaths are things that can occur outside of work. AQ measures our ability to go through the shocks when life throws curveballs at us —how likely we are to deal with these situations. It can be used to predict our attitudes, perseverance, longevity, and the way we learn from changes in environment.
Luckily, there are some steps you can take to help you be more resilient in the face of adversity. First, try and find a meaningful goal. Adaptable people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired outcome, seeing negative situations as a bump in the road on the way to achieving their goal. Learning to relax and regulate your emotions is another key step ——one way to help you destress is by practicing breathing exercises. Similarly, thinking about things and letting them get to you can cause you to be stressed. See difficulties more as an opportunity to learn and grow emotionally. Finally, make sure you have a good social support network. Being able to talk with someone about the challenges we face can help.
Things happen in life we can’t prevent ——and sometimes they aren’t pleasant. But, taking a few steps to be more resilient can make them a little easier to get through.
32. What adversities are mentioned that may occur in the workplace
A. Being punished. B. Failed relationships
C. Missing out on a promotion. D. The company being maintained.
33. What can someone with a high AQ supposedly do
A. They can manage their emotions.
B. They can get themselves promoted.
C. They can achieve their goals easily.
D. They can avoid adversities properly.
34. Why does having a meaningful goal help in adverse situations
A. You can concentrate more on a desired result.
B. You can forget about the unpleasant situations.
C. You can see clearly a bump on the way to success.
D. You can completely ignore your negative situations.
35. Which is the best title for the passage
A. EQ:IQ:AQ B. How to Be Resilient
C. What Is Adversity Quotient D. Be Brave in Face of Adversity

Henry finished rolling copies of The Gazette, filled his bag and took off to deliver the news.
It was 8:15 a.m. when he delivered the last newspaper. He had put the paper where Mr.Grady could get it without struggling to the sidewalk. Across the street, Henry’s delivery had landed perfectly too. Mrs. Burke, with twin babies, probably liked having her paper within easy reach.
Henry parked his bike near the office building and bounded up to the editor-in-chiefs door. Mr. Trotta said, “We’re closing shop, Henry. Advertising is down. Television is how people get their news today.”
“Um, no,” said Henry. “I’ve met so many people on my route. It’s sad. People won’t get their neighborhood news anymore.”
Mr. Trotta nodded and sighed. “We held out as long as we could," he said. “You were terrific, Henry — always dependable.”
A week after his last deliveries, Henry wondered if his customers missed The Gazette as much as he did. He thought of a way to find out. He started out on his old route with a notebook. First stop: Mr. Jonas, 17 Oak. Mr. Jonas said that he liked reading the week’s happenings and he had a pile of comics from old copies of The Gazette. He wondered if anyone would want them. Henry made a note in his notebook.
Mrs. Burke said she needed a babysitter. She was going to put an ad in The Gazette, but…
As Henry made more notes, an idea started forming in his head. Maybe he could create a newsy page for the neighbors. But how would he print it He went to the library and explained everything to Miss Ginger, the librarian. “Follow me,” she said. Seconds later, in front of a machine, Miss Ginger turned a handle and a purple-printed sheet rolled out. “ Will mimeographed (油印的) copies work ” she asked.
“Perfect.”
Henry had a plan.

【原文】M: Ever since I first started working, I've been wondering if I really enjoy my job. It's a question that just about every adult deals with. After analyzing my happiness throughout my entire career, I have finally found the answer. In the office I work at, they call me an engineer. It has been that way for 3.5 years up to now. Being an engineer consists of spending a lot of time on a computer. Generally speaking, I spend about 70% of my time behind a computer screen. In addition, I get to spend another 15% in meeting s or telephone conferences. The other 15% I do actually spend some of my time on projects, which are located all over our beautiful planet. Some are in very interesting countries. This sounds great on paper. But when I'm on a project, I can expect to work at least 84 hours a week, with generally no days off. Yes, sometimes I was tired and stressful, but I generally like my job! I enjoy working behind my computer. It's what I'm good at and I consider myself to be useful.

Voluntary work in fact, brings many personal benefits. My personal experiences have affirmed my belief in this.
To begin, voluntary work has provided me with the opportunity to gain more insight into the lives of the less fortunate. I once volunteered to clean up one-room flats where the less fortunate lived in. When I first entered the flat, I was astonished at the state of the living conditions — it was overcrowded with people, messy household items, and newspapers. I was critical about the owners of the flat. However, as the cleaning proceeded, I learned more about their misfortunes and difficulties. I was regretful of my initial judgement of them. This incident has allowed me to learn more about people. Moreover, it has made me realise that many underprivileged communities are unjustifiably judged and discriminated against. I learnt that life is a lot more complex than I had imagined, and that I should always try to display empathy.
In addition, my experience with volunteer work has reminded me to be more thankful for the little things. When I volunteered at a school to teach basic life skills to students with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), I found that the students were very appreciative of the teachers, teacher assistants and even the school attendants. The students often said “thank you” and smiled politely. I felt that as much as I had taught them, the students too had taught me: they taught me a lesson on gratitude.
Finally, doing voluntary work has given my life more meaning. After doing voluntary work, I feel more connected to the rest of mankind, and now have a stronger sense of purpose in my life. Instead of just being absorbed in my own wants and needs, now make use of the abilities I have to extend a helping hand to those in need.
24. What can be inferred about the author’s first judgement on the people in the flat
A. Inspiring. B. Interesting. C. Pitiful. D. Rude.
25. Who taught the author to be more appreciative of life
A. The teachers. B. The volunteers.
C. The teacher assistants. D. The disabled students.
26. Which statement best describes the author’s attitude towards voluntary work
A. Do as you would be done by.
B. Kill two birds with one stone.
C. All things are difficult before they are easy.
D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
27. How does the author mainly prove his idea
A. By quoting others’ words.
B. By using parallel sentences.
C. By giving opinions and facts.
D. By listing examples and numbers.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】

【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“When I first entered the flat, I was astonished at the state of the living conditions — it was overcrowded with people, messy household items, and newspapers. I was critical about the owners of the flat. However, as the cleaning proceeded, I learned more about their misfortunes and difficulties. I was regretful of my initial judgement of them. (当我第一次进入公寓时,我对生活条件的状况感到惊讶——拥挤的人,凌乱的家居用品和报纸。我对公寓的主人很不满。然而,随着清扫工作的进行,我更多地了解到他们的不幸和困难。我对自己最初对他们的判断感到后悔)”可知,作者第一次进入公寓时,因为里面糟糕的状况而对住户很不满,后来因为了解他们的情况而后悔自己最初的判断。由此推知,作者对公寓里的人的第一评价是粗鲁的。故选D项。

(当我在一所学校志愿教授脑瘫学生基本生活技能时,我发现学生们对老师、助教甚至学校服务员都非常感激。学生们经常说“谢谢”,礼貌地微笑。我觉得就像我教给他们的一样,学生们也教会了我:他们教会了我感恩)”可知,这些患有脑瘫的残疾学生教会了作者学会更加感恩生活。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Voluntary work in fact, brings many personal benefits. My personal experiences have affirmed my belief in this. (事实上,志愿工作给个人带来很多好处。我的个人经历证实了我的信念)”、第二段中“To begin, voluntary work has provided me with the opportunity to gain more insight into the lives of the less fortunate. (首先,志愿工作让我有机会更深入地了解那些不幸的人的生活)”、第三段中“In addition, my experience with volunteer work has reminded me to be more thankful for the little things. (此外,我的志愿者工作的经历提醒我要更加感激微小的事情)”和第四段中“Finally, doing voluntary work has given my life more meaning. (最后,做志愿者工作让我的生活更有意义)”可知,作者的个人经历表明志愿工作带来了各种好处,包括对不幸者生活的深入了解、变得更加感恩、赋予生活更多意义。由此可知,B项“一举两得”可以描述作者对于志愿工作的态度,该谚语用于形容在一个行动中实现两个或多个目标的情况。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章是总分式结构,作者用第一段“Voluntary work in fact, brings many personal benefits. My personal experiences have affirmed my belief in this. (事实上,志愿工作给个人带来很多好处。我的个人经历证实了我的信念)”提出自己的观点,后面三段每段的开头给出一个志愿工作带来的好处,然后用个人经历来说明这种好处。因此,作者主要是通过给出观点和事实来论证自己的观点。故选C项。
C
Will your job be done by a robot in the future Bank of England economist s predict that almost half of all UK jobs are under threat of automation. But could even the admired profession of teaching soon have to compete against powerful electronic educators
At first glance, teaching might seem impossible to be replaced by robots. Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to copy exactly. They judge pupils’ needs and tailor feedback accordingly. They adapt materials to make them more engaging and effective. And they provide kind care: looking out for students who drop behind or disturb the class.
Despite that, some believe the future of education will be technological. Futurist Thomas Frey, from Business Insider magazine, predicts that “by 2030 the largest company on the internet is going to be an education-based company that we haven’t heard of yet.”
He thinks that ‘bots’— online robot teachers will make education so efficient that students will be able to compress (压缩) an entire undergraduate degree into six months of learning. A bot learns what your “idiosyncrasies” “interests” and “reference points” are, “and it figures out how to teach you in a faster and faster way over time,” according to Frey.
Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached over the last decade, there has been a huge increase in online learning panies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace. But there are limitations. Without the face-to-face inspiration of a classroom environment, the majority of students fail to complete online courses. How to keep motivation to learn is one more skill that online teachers will need to master.
Indeed, Frey admits there is some way to go: “Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.” What do teachers themselves think about this Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should accept change, even though people will lose their jobs.
28. What’s the second paragraph mainly about
A. Teaching by robots can be replaced. B. The advantages of face-to-face teaching.
C. Human teachers will be replaced by robots. D. The potential of the electronic educators.
29 What does the underlined word “idiosyncrasies” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Personalities. B. Senses. C. Nationalities. D. Families.
30. Why are Udemy and Khan Academy mentioned
A. To tell how online learning is progressing. B. To show the significance of online learning.
C. To explain people how online learning works. D. To suggest the shortcomings of online learning.
31. What might be talked about following the last paragraph
A. How robots will change in the future. B. How artificial intelligence will destroy jobs.
C. How educators will meet the future challenge. D. How electronic educators will lose their jobs.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要说明了教学似乎不可能被机器人取代,尽管如此,一些人认为未来的教育将是科技的。文章说明了面对面教学的优势以及在线学习的发展情况。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“At first glance, teaching might seem impossible to be replaced by robots. Teachers use a range of soft skills that machines find hard to copy exactly. They judge pupils’ needs and tailor feedback accordingly. They adapt materials to make them more engaging and effective. And they provide kind care: looking out for students who drop behind or disturb the class.(乍一看,教学似乎不可能被机器人取代。教师使用的一系列软技能是机器很难完全复制的。他们判断学生的需求,并相应地调整反馈。他们调整材料,使其更吸引人,更有效。他们提供亲切的照顾:注意那些掉队或扰乱课堂的学生)”可知,第二段的主要内容是面对面教学的优势。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文““interests” and “reference points” are, “and it figures out how to teach you in a faster and faster way over time”可知,此处指机器人会了解你的“兴趣”和“参考点”是什么,然后随着时间的推移,它会想出如何以越来越快的方式教你。由此推知,机器人会全面了解你,以便因材施教,因此划线词idiosyncrasies应该是指你的“个性”。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Whether or not such incredible speeds will be reached over the last decade, there has been a huge increase in online learning panies such as Udemy and Khan Academy produce courses that allow millions to learn at home for free at their own pace.(不管在过去十年里,这种令人难以置信的速度是否会达到,在线学习平台已经有了巨大的增长。Udemy和可汗学院等公司提供的课程让数百万人可以在家按照自己的进度免费学习)”可推知,提到Udemy和可汗学院是为了讲述在线学习的发展情况。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Indeed, Frey admits there is some way to go: “Nobody has quite cracked the code for the future of education.” What do teachers themselves think about this Professor Donald Clark from Derby University in the UK thinks that we should accept change, even though people will lose their jobs.(事实上,弗雷承认还有一段路要走:“没有人能完全破解未来教育的密码。”老师们自己是怎么想的呢?英国德比大学的唐纳德·克拉克教授认为,我们应该接受改变,即使人们会失去工作)”可推知,在最后一段之后可能会讨论教育工作者将如何应对未来的挑战。故选C。
D
We’ve all heard of IQ, and EQ, but have you heard of AQ AQ stands for adversity (逆境) quotient and measures your ability to deal with the ups and downs of life. Being able to handle these rough patches we all go through is not only important in our personal lives but in our professional lives too. So how can we learn to be more resilient
Adverse situations can take us by surprise and shock us. In the workplace, it could be in the form of firings, the company we work for going under or being restructured, or even missing out on a promotion. Failed friendships and relationships, financial hard times and even deaths are things that can occur outside of work. AQ measures our ability to go through the shocks when life throws curveballs at us —how likely we are to deal with these situations. It can be used to predict our attitudes, perseverance, longevity, and the way we learn from changes in environment.
Luckily, there are some steps you can take to help you be more resilient in the face of adversity. First, try and find a meaningful goal. Adaptable people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired outcome, seeing negative situations as a bump in the road on the way to achieving their goal. Learning to relax and regulate your emotions is another key step ——one way to help you destress is by practicing breathing exercises. Similarly, thinking about things and letting them get to you can cause you to be stressed. See difficulties more as an opportunity to learn and grow emotionally. Finally, make sure you have a good social support network. Being able to talk with someone about the challenges we face can help.
Things happen in life we can’t prevent ——and sometimes they aren’t pleasant. But, taking a few steps to be more resilient can make them a little easier to get through.
32. What adversities are mentioned that may occur in the workplace
A. Being punished. B. Failed relationships
C. Missing out on a promotion. D. The company being maintained.
33. What can someone with a high AQ supposedly do
A. They can manage their emotions.
B. They can get themselves promoted.
C. They can achieve their goals easily.
D. They can avoid adversities properly.
34. Why does having a meaningful goal help in adverse situations
A. You can concentrate more on a desired result.
B. You can forget about the unpleasant situations.
C. You can see clearly a bump on the way to success.
D. You can completely ignore your negative situations.
35. Which is the best title for the passage
A. EQ:IQ:AQ B. How to Be Resilient
C. What Is Adversity Quotient D. Be Brave in Face of Adversity
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AQ的定义以及一些让我们在逆境中更具有弹性的方法。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“In the workplace, it could be in the form of firings, the company we work for going under or being restructured, or even missing out on a promotion. (在工作场所,它可能会以解雇、我们工作的公司倒闭或重组的形式出现,甚至错过晋升机会。)”可知,工作场所可能出现的逆境是错过晋升的机会。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“AQ measures our ability to go through the shocks when life throws curveballs at us —how likely we are to deal with these situations. It can be used to predict our attitudes, perseverance, longevity, and the way we learn from changes in environment. (AQ衡量我们在生活向我们抛出曲线球时承受冲击的能力——我们处理这些情况的可能性有多大。它可以用来预测我们的态度、毅力、寿命,以及我们从环境变化中学习的方式。)”可知,AQ能衡量我们在生活中承受冲击的能力。一个人拥有高AQ的人处理这些逆境的可能性就会更大,它可以预测我们的态度,毅力等。由此可推知,拥有高AQ的人在面对困境时能更好的管理自己的情绪。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“First, try and find a meaningful goal. Adaptable people often have an aim and are able to concentrate more on a desired outcome, seeing negative situations as a bump in the road on the way to achieving their goal. (首先,试着找到一个有意义的目标。适应性强的人往往有目标,能够更加专注于期望的结果,将消极的情况视为实现目标的道路上的障碍。)”可知,在不利的情况下有一个有意义的目标会让你可以更加专注于想要的结果。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“AQ stands for adversity (逆境) quotient and measures your ability to deal with the ups and downs of life. Being able to handle these rough patches we all go through is not only important in our personal lives but in our professional lives too. So how can we learn to be more resilient (AQ代表逆境商,衡量你应对生活起伏的能力。能够处理我们所有人所经历的这些艰难时期不仅在我们的个人生活中很重要,在我们的职业生活中也很重要。那么,我们如何才能学会更有弹性呢?)”以及最后一段的“But, taking a few steps to be more resilient can make them a little easier to get through. (但是,采取一些更具弹性的措施可以让他们更容易度过难。关)”可知,文章介绍了AQ的定义以及一些让我们在逆境中更具有弹性的方法。所以“如何保持弹性”适合作本文的标题。故选B。

Take 100% responsibility. After making a mistake, reflect on it. Blaming others for your mistakes will do you no good. ___37___ Therefore, take 100% responsibility, accept the consequences and be part of the solution to the problem. The sooner you accept responsibility ,the sooner the problem is identified, and the sooner a resolution will be possible.
Figure out the cause of the mistake. ___38___ Figuring out the cause will also help you avoid repeating it next time. Determine the specific action that led to the mistake. Take time to look into the events, see if there are things that need to be improved, and take time to work on them. Make the necessary changes to see the positive results.
___39___ You cannot change the mistakes that were made in the past, but you can take the lesson learnt and apply it when necessary. Don’t move forward through life being afraid of making mistakes. The moment you see mistakes as lessons rather than mistakes, you will no longer have this crazy scare of meeting them along your journey.
Apologize if necessary. Apologizing for a mistake that you made, which affected someone, can make a big difference. By apologizing, you are showing bravery. ___40___

【答案】36. F 37. D 38. E 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些帮助你从错误中学习的方法。
【36题详解】
上文“Everyone makes mistakes .Mistakes are an essential part of what makes us humans.(每个人都会犯错。错误是我们人类的本质。不犯错误实际上是你能犯的最大错误)”说明犯错是人类的本质,每个人都会犯错。空处顺接前文,再一次说明犯错的重要性。F项中的They指代前文中的mistakes,说明“错误是学习、成长和提升自己的重要一步。”。故选F。
【37题详解】
下文“Therefore, take 100% responsibility, accept the consequences and be part of the solution to the problem. (因此,承担100%的责任,接受后果,并成为解决问题的一部分)”说明犯错之后要承担100%的责任,接受它带来的后果,然后去解决问题。空处和下文构成因果关系,指出为什么要承担100%的责任。所以D项“只有承担责任才能使学习成为可能。”符合语境。该项中的“Only accepting responsibility”和本段的主旨句相呼应。故选D。
【38题详解】
上文“Figure out the cause of the mistake.(找出错误的原因)”说明需要找出错误的原因。本句承接上文。F故中的“Knowing why you made the mistake”和前文中“Figure out the cause of the mistake.”相呼应,说明找出错误原因的重要性。所以F项“知道自己为什么会犯这个错误是从中吸取教训的关键。”符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
下文“You cannot change the mistakes that were made in the past, but you can take the lesson learnt and apply it when necessary. Don’t move forward through life being afraid of making mistakes. (你不能改变过去犯下的错误,但你可以吸取教训,在必要时加以应用。不要因为害怕犯错而在生活中前进)”说明本段主要告诉我们不要因为害怕犯错误而停止向前,需要做的是从错误中吸取教训。A项“无所畏惧地继续前进。”适合作本段的主旨句,统领全段。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“Apologize if necessary. Apologizing for a mistake that you made, which affected someone, can make a big difference. By apologizing, you are showing bravery.(如有必要,请道歉。为自己犯下的影响他人的错误道歉,会产生很大的影响。道歉是在表现你的勇敢)”说明为自己的错误道歉是勇敢的表现。空处和前文构成因果关系,解释为什么道歉是勇敢的表现。G项“这是因为站在别人面前承认错误需要勇气。”符合语境。该项中的“admit your mistake”和前文中的“Apologizing for a mistake”相呼应。故选G,

Even when my teaching materials are the same, I always change the teaching methods. More importantly, my students are always changing.

Henry finished rolling copies of The Gazette, filled his bag and took off to deliver the news.
It was 8:15 a.m. when he delivered the last newspaper. He had put the paper where Mr.Grady could get it without struggling to the sidewalk. Across the street, Henry’s delivery had landed perfectly too. Mrs. Burke, with twin babies, probably liked having her paper within easy reach.
Henry parked his bike near the office building and bounded up to the editor-in-chiefs door. Mr. Trotta said, “We’re closing shop, Henry. Advertising is down. Television is how people get their news today.”
“Um, no,” said Henry. “I’ve met so many people on my route. It’s sad. People won’t get their neighborhood news anymore.”
Mr. Trotta nodded and sighed. “We held out as long as we could," he said. “You were terrific, Henry — always dependable.”
A week after his last deliveries, Henry wondered if his customers missed The Gazette as much as he did. He thought of a way to find out. He started out on his old route with a notebook. First stop: Mr. Jonas, 17 Oak. Mr. Jonas said that he liked reading the week’s happenings and he had a pile of comics from old copies of The Gazette. He wondered if anyone would want them. Henry made a note in his notebook.
Mrs. Burke said she needed a babysitter. She was going to put an ad in The Gazette, but…
As Henry made more notes, an idea started forming in his head. Maybe he could create a newsy page for the neighbors. But how would he print it He went to the library and explained everything to Miss Ginger, the librarian. “Follow me,” she said. Seconds later, in front of a machine, Miss Ginger turned a handle and a purple-printed sheet rolled out. “ Will mimeographed (油印的) copies work ” she asked.
“Perfect.”
Henry had a plan.
