To save the environment, we must all join in—and nobody knows this better than 70-year-old grandmother Pat Smith who spent 2018 cleaning up litter from 52beaches in Cornwall on the United Kingdom’s south coast.
Smith set out in January, 2018 to carry out her New Year’s resolution of making her community a better and cleaner place. The ambitious goal came to her after she watched a documentary on plastic pollution the previous year, and she knew she couldn’t just sit by.
Often, volunteers would join her in her efforts, including her grandchildren, or she would join hands with other campaigners such as Wayne Dixon, who is walking around the UK coast as an ambassador for Keep Britain Tidy.
During her beach cleans, Smith was sometimes mistaken for doing community service! She said, “People don’t understand I’ve been doing this voluntarily. We should all take responsibility for picking up the litter as well as ensuring we don’t drop litter in the first place.
Even before her beach cleanups, Smith had begun her first environmental campaign to eliminate plastic straws (吸管) in her city of Cornwall . To date, she has encouraged 600 local companies to stop using unnecessary plastic. In an effort to make her hometown an example for the plastic-free movement in the United Kingdom, she founded The Final Straw Cornwall in the summer of 2017. “I founded the Final Straw to try and raise awareness of the disastrous damage we are doing to our oceans from our casual consumption of single-use plastics. I feel I have a responsibility to my children and grandchildren to do something about it.” She said.
Her resolution year may be over but this environmentally conscious grandma continues her quest (追求). “A lot of the rubbish I’ve picked up consists of everyday items,” said Smith. “These things are used by all of us and it is shocking to find them polluting our beautiful beaches. Please let’s try to be more thoughtful in this coming year. I’m driven to try and protect our living planet for my children and grandchildren and I will continue to do everything in my power to achieve that.”
41. What led to Smith’s New Year’s resolution of cleaning her community
A. Community service.
B. A film or television program.
C. Various ocean protection campaigns.
D. Serious pollution in her community.
42. What’s people’s misunderstanding about Smith’s action
A. She was forced to do that.
B. She just pretended to be caring.
C. She actually did only a little work.
D. She wouldn’t stick to the work for long.
43. With her founding of The Final Straw Cornwall, Smith intended to ______.
A. set an example to other aged people
B. stop her local companies from producing plastic straws
C. keep her promise to her children and grandchildren
D. make people conscious of the plastic-related environmental problem
44. What opinion about environmental protection did Smith hold
A. It’s everyone’s duty.
B. It’s as hard as people think.
C. Prevention is more important than protection.
D. The younger generation don’t care about it enough.
45. Which of the following best describes Smith as an environmental activist
A. Proud. B. Happy. C. Stressed. D. Determined.
C
Back in 1930, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that with technological change and improvements in productivity, we’d be working only 15 hours a week in the near future. But while working hours have declined by 26%, most of us still work 42.5 hours a week on average, according to Eurostat figures.
One of the things Keynes underestimated is our desire to compete with our peers —a drive that makes us work more than we need to. “We don’t measure productivity by how many acres we’ve harvested, so the amount of working time becomes an indicator.” says Alex Soojung-Kim Pang.
Due to computerization and globalization in the 1980s, managers could demand more of employees under the threat that jobs could be given to someone else, so the pressure increased. And we took it, overwhelmed with the pressure while shouldering the burden all the same at the cost of our health. Psychologist Barbara Killinger writes such a phenomenon in Workaholics: The Respectable Addicts.
But far from delivering productivity, value, or personal fulfillment, overwork has been proven to lead to burnout, stress, poor health, etc. Nevertheless, we persisted—until the fourth Industrial Revolution came along.
The fourth Industrial Revolution has accelerated the move towards automation and Al, especially for jobs with high physical proximity (接近). Economist Dr. Carl Frey predicts that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to automation by 2050.
There are exceptions. Jobs that involve complex social interactions are beyond current robot skills, such as teaching, cleaning jobs, and jobs that rely on creativity, according to Frey and Osborne.
According to McKinsey, those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning and creative fields will still work in the future, just differently. In about 60% of occupations, it’s estimated that a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning substantial changes to the way we work. A large-scale study carried out by accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted that over the next 20 years, although 7 million jobs will be lost to Al, 7.2 million new ones will be created as a result. So we will work in the future: we just don’t know what we’ll be doing yet.
46. What do the figures in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate
A. Our working time failed to decrease as much as predicted.
B. Technology keeps changing with the development of society.
C. Keynes’ prediction mainly focused on productivity improvement.
D. Overwork will result in fierce competition between employees.
47. What might lead to the disagreement between the reality and Keynes estimation
A. People’s false sense of time.
B. People’s awareness of peer competition.
C. People’s ignoring the quality of their jobs.
D. People’s pressure to increase productivity.
48. How did most employees respond to the managers’ pressure in the 1980s
A. They argued for fairness.
B. They devoted more to their work.
C. They tried to escape shouldering the burden.
D. They emphasized the importance of their health.
49. Which of the following situations will appear under the influence of automation and AI
A. Counseling service will be paid less attention to.
B. More and more cleaners become unemployed in cities.
C. A majority of teachers will be replaced by robots.
D. The types of jobs with high physical proximity will be transformed.
50. What is McKinsey’s attitude towards automation and AI
A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
D
Yesterday, I was standing in line at a store and the song Please Come to Boston which was quite popular when I was in high school, came on in the background. I hadn’t heard it for years. Suddenly, I was overcome by flashbacks of people and places linked to that song from earlier stages of my life.
It seems people tend to be extremely nostalgic (怀旧的) about the music they listened to when they were young. Psychological research has shown that autobiographical memories (life experiences) from certain time periods are remembered better than others. One obvious phenomenon is the “reminiscence bump” (记忆隆起): the fact that people tend to recall memories from when they were 10 to 30 years old much better. That’s because this period contains many novel and self-defining life experiences such as graduation and marriage. Biological changes may also boost the effectiveness of our memories from this period.
In our experiment, we investigated the presence of the “musical reminiscence bump” in a group of 470 adults aged 18 to 82. Our aim was to examine how a person’s age when a song was popular affected three related but distinct concepts: the degree to which the song was associated with autobiographical memories, how familiar the song was and how much they liked the song. Participants were shown the titles and artists of 111 pop songs that had featured in the charts across a 65-year period (1950~2015). After a given time, they were asked to complete the measurement.
We discovered music during one’s adolescence was rated as more familiar. In addition, we found some songs were preferred regardless of a participant’s age. For instance, we saw a general increase in how much people liked songs from the late 1970s to early 1980s, even in participants who weren’t yet born during that time period. Examples of songs we used from this time period include Hotel California by the Eagles.
Music can undeniably cause nostalgia. For example, advertisers want to elicit (引出) a nostalgic reaction from a certain group of consumers. And they should notice doctors who aim to reconnect patients suffering from memory loss with self-defining memories from their pasts can also take advantage of nostalgia.
51. What does the author want to imply through his own experience at a store
A. His taste for music in high school.
B. His way of killing the boring queuing time.
C. The link between sales and background music.
D. Music’s ability to waken memories from the past.
52. What can be concluded about the reminiscence bump
A. It helps improve our childhood memories)
B. It still remains a mystery to modern science.
C. Events occurring during it are more memorable.
D. It explains why some have a better memory than others.
53. What were participants required to do in the study
A. Make a list of their favorite songs and artists.
B. Provide ratings of three music-related questions.
C. Learn to sing some songs released in the past 65 years.
D. Compare the features of pop songs from different periods.
54. What did the researchers find in their experiment
A. The Eagles were a representative band in the late 20th century.
B. Pop music stars’ adolescence had a great impact on their works.
C. The late 1970s and early 1980s were the peak of music creation.
D. Pop music from certain time periods was favored by different generations.
55. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Musical nostalgia has practical applications in life.
B. All doctors are responsible for treating nostalgia.
C. Too much nostalgia may lead to memory loss to a degree.
D. Advertisers are good at analyzing consumers’ musical tastes.

Books have great power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone … or anything. Unfortunately, many children all over the world don’t have access to books! For several years now, Maria Keller, a 16-year-old girl from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been changing that fact.
When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She became determined to change this. With her mother’s help, Maria created Read Indeed, a non-profit organization committed to collecting and distributing books to children in need.
During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal! She reached her goal at age 13! Today, at age 16, she has collected over 2.8 million books and has shipped them to many states and countries around the world.
She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my mission, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books is in the hundreds of millions, so I just can’t leave off, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.”
She recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse where they store and sort books. And now, as Maria prepares to attend college, her younger brother Ryan Keller is taking over Read Indeed.

61. Dear Chris,
How is it going recently Learning that you are enthusiastic about the educational activity held by our school, I’d like to share with you some details.
With the approaching of the 16th National Disaster Prevention and Reduction Day, our school carried out a theme activity of safe entry into the campus, which aims to raise students’ awareness of safety, equip us with safety knowledge and protect us from potential natural disasters.
In order to better promote the activity, our arrangements are as follows: To start with, an expert from a professional rescue team delivered a lecture on how to react when disasters strike us, such as fires and earthquakes, equipping us with basics of evacuation. In addition, we learnt the practical tips on disaster prevention and reduction on campus. Furthermore, in the face of danger, we were encouraged to grasp how to save ourselves.
We students have benefited greatly from the activity. I’m looking forward to your coming and sharing some practical suggestions on this issue.
Yours,
Lijin
