I was driving when I received a new email.Filled with expectation,I pulled over and eagerly opened it.My emotions quickly changed as I learned,for the sixth and final time,that I had been refused a promotion to full professor.I was sad that the place I worked in didn't seem to value what I brought to the table.
When I told my family that news at night,my children offered a surprising response.They were excited to see what I was going to do next,they said.They clearly knew long before I did that losing my application for a promotion would turn out to be the best thing that could have happened for me.
To my surprise,having a final answer brought a welcome sense of closure.Once it was all over,I realized how tiring the process had been.For 15 months,I had spent hours every day trying
to prove my worth to my university.I was underweight.My self-worth was at an all-time low.I just wanted to regain my fitness and happiness.
I wrote a letter of resignation(辞职)—but instead of sending it,I saved it on my desktop, ready to attach it to an email at any moment.Because I love working in academic circles too much to quietly quit,I decided to carry on in my existing position for a while but put my own values first. I began to say no to work that wasn't personally rewarding so I would have more time to spend with my children,exercise,eat well,and sleep more.I disconnected from people in my life who are against my values,and developed my relationships with those who bring out the best in me.
As my mental health improved,I rethought about my institution and concluded it was no longer serving me well.A month after that email,I found myself in the car again,experiencing another career-defining moment.This time the email brought a job offer with a promotion to full professor and more salaries from a famous university.

A.Unadaptable. B.Flexible. C.Imaginative. D.Generous.
27.What lesson can be learned from the author's experience
A.Hard work will pay off. B.Experience must be bought.
C.He who does not advance loses ground. D.Misfortune may be an actual good turn.
C
The dust settled earlier this week after attendees at the annual Burning Man festival were finally given the green light to leave after heavy rains turned the event grounds into a muddy pool that prevented tens of thousands of people from driving out.Festival goers were told to save food and water until the ground dried sufficiently for cars,trucks,and RVs to drive on.
For some,the uncooperative weather may remain only an unfortunate footnote in the storied history of this increasingly popular arts and music festival,which has been happening since the 1980s.But for others,it is a wake-up call that such huge events cannot escape from the cruel realities of global warming.
One of Burning Man's most well-known principles is to“leave no trace(痕迹)”,where partygoers are encouraged to pick up every bit of pieces and“matter that is out of place”in order to leave the site in a good state.However,despite attendees' efforts to leave no trace on the site itself,local residents in the nearest town,have spoken out about how their town has become a junkyard after the event.
Then,there are the scientists who say that the site's delicate( 脆弱的)ecosystem is put under great pressure each year.Though the pale sands of the desert may seem like they don't support much life,it's actually an ancient,dried lakebed that reawakens under rain.
In fact,during the festival's opening,a climate organization blocked traffic temporarily from entering the festival grounds,whose aim was to draw attention to the fact that the event produces about 100,000 tons of CO a year—90%of that coming from travel as people drive and fly to reach the festival.
Though Burning Man has taken measures to make the festival greener,some protesters(抗议
者 )are pointing out that it's simply not enough.Burning Man as a phenomenon has clearly reached a crossroads.Given the real environmental impacts that it has year after year,it might be time for organizers and community members to rethink how the festival continues going forward.
28.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 probably refer to
A.The storied history. B.The bad weather.
C.The huge event D.The global warming.
29.What can be learned from paragraph 3
A.The partygoers are not responsible at all.
B.Burning Man has set up the most famous principle.
C.Local residents often have an argument with attendees.
D.There is a gap between the organizers'wishes and reality.
30.Why did the climate organization prevent the entry of traffic
A.To reduce the risks of car accidents.
B.To limit the number of attendees.
C.To attract people's attention to the festival.
D.To raise people's awareness of the carbon footprint.
31.What can be the best title for the text
A.It Is Time to Rethink Burning Man B.Burning Man Is Losing Its Appeal
C.Global Warming Is Ruining Our Life D.Burning Man Met Heavy Rain
D
In a box stands a baby black-tailed godwit,which is only a few days old and in a few weeks, this bird will set off on an extraordinary journey.First,it will be carefully loaded into the back of a
truck with nine other young godwits and driven 1,000 kilometers east to Poland.From there,it will join the local black-tailed godwits on a vast migration(迁徙),traveling 3,600 kilometers south to sub-Saharan Africa.
In the process,this little bird will help answer a fundamental question that has been troubling shorebird biologist Theunis Piersma for more than 30 years:Are godwits born with their migratory routes programmed into their genes(基因) ,or do they learn it from other birds
Piersma and his co-workers raised dozens of wild black-tailed godwits they collected from nests in the Netherlands'north.They equipped the birds with tiny devices and freed them to migrate. Half were let go from their home;the others were trucked to Poland.Every 36 hours,the birds solar-powered devices reported their locations to passing satellites—and on to the biologists computers.
Throughout 2015 and 2016,the scientists tracked 80 godwits,and all but one of the birds trucked to Poland assumed the Polish birds’ route.By tracking the birds’ progress,Piersma proved his idea that social learning,not genes,is driving the godwits' migration.
Though how the birds are learning from each other remains unclear,Piersma thinks the godwits are not simply following the crowd.Instead,he believes they are somehow sharing information of their route with each other before they leave.
Piersma believes that the key point of this work—that scientists have been overvaluing the contributions of genes to bird migration—can extend(扩展)beyond shorebirds to other groups, such as songbirds,whose migration routes are seemingly related to their genes.
In a changing world,Piersma believes godwits’ ability to learn new migration routes may make them more adaptable.
32.What were the baby birds used to do
A.To add to the diversity of the local species.
B.To explore the main reason for birds' migration.
C.To test birds' ability to adapt to the new surroundings.
D.To find out the key factor in the selection of migratory routes.
33.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word“assumed”in paragraph 4
A.Guessed. B.Changed. C.Adopted. D.Avoided.
34.Why did Piersma mention songbirds
A.To show the conclusion of the study is reliable.
B.To point out the contribution of genes is great.
C.To stress scientific discovery applies universally.
D.To prove shorebirds have similar genes to songbirds.
35.What is mainly talked about in the text
A.Birds migrate along the same route.
B.Birds differ from one another.
C.Birds can learn from each other when migrating
D.Genes play a great part in birds' migration.

How to Avoid Post-Vacation Stress
Like many of us,I turn to vacation as a way to recharge from the daily stress of my life. Vacation can offer us many benefits,from creating memories to disconnection to rest.36
But something that many of us forget to do is to put in place a post-vacation plan.A plan that allows us to slowly return to our pre-vacation life and work pace.Or,if we're lucky,a plan that allows us to reduce that real-world pace altogether. 37 Then focusing on your post-vacation plan is a must.
Plan post-vacation leisure activities.There's a tendency when we get back from vacation to feel like we should stop leisure activities for a while. 38 If you've felt that,that is not scientific.In fact,research finds that planning post-vacation leisure activities can help you remain a good state,especially if the activity encourages relaxation.
39 Just as job stress can reduce our vacation return on investment,so can home-related stress.Before leaving for your vacation,anticipate(预期)the stress that might happen when you return and make preparations for them.
Fridge empty and you'll need to grocery shop when you're back Load up the Instacart basket before you leave and submit the order on your drive back home.Will it be the end of the month requiring you to pay bills Schedule payment in advance for all bills electronically. 40 This will make you less stressed when you are back from vacation.
In a word,while we are still in the height of vacation season,consider investing just as much forethought and time in planning the post-vacation transition as you do the actual vacation.Your well-being will thank you!
A.Deal with the stress in a unique way.
B.You get the point:Anticipate and plan.
C.Prepare in advance to reduce home stress.
D.After all,we did just get back from vacation.
E.All are good for our physical and mental well-being.
F.Honestly speaking,these problems are not easy to tackle.
G.Does strengthening the vacation benefits sound appealing

Colin,a young boy with autism(自闭症),has a special love for card tricks.These aren't just any tricks;they're just his way of dealing with a world that can often be stressful.Cards,in Colin's hands,become more than pieces of paper;they are instruments of focus and bridges to connect with others.
As the family checked into the hotel,little did they know that this would be the setting for a heartwarming story that would touch the hearts of many.
Colin,with a heart full of innocence and curiosity,approached the front desk.Standing behind that desk was Kahlief Hill,a 39-year-old hotel clerk,a kind and warm-hearted man.Colin looked up at him,his eyes bright with excitement,and asked a simple question:“Would you like to see a card trick ”
What Kahlief didn't know at that moment was the great impact of his response.He didn't know that Colin had autism,and for Colin,card tricks were more than a hobby.They were his shelter,a way to quiet his mind and keep his hands engaged.Colin had lost his father a few years before,leaving him with a gap where a male figure and role model should be.
His mother didn't know that Colin had been waiting for a“big brother”for over two years, living with just his momand sister.And Kahlief didn't know that he was becoming that male figure Colin longed for.
Despite not knowing any of this,Kahlief's response was a simple and warm“yes”.He allowed Colin to take center stage,performing his card tricks with patience and enthusiasm.It wasn't just about watching;Kahlief also shared some tricks of his own,bringing about a magical exchange of wonder and smiles.
This beautiful connection didn't end that night.The following evening,when Colin and his family returned to the hotel after dinner,Kahlief was there,manning the front desk once more.And when he saw Colin walking to him,he extended the invitation once again:“Would you like to come and practice more card tricks ”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation,Colin rushed to his room.
In the following days during their stay,Colin often went to play cards with Kahlief.
