A
In order to hold weight, a recommendation letter should come from a respected source. You would be a wonderful fit if you worked with the candidate in a
supervisory position, say, a manager or boss of some sort, for an employer always wants a professional reference. Occasionally, letters from a colleague, a friend,
neighbor, or family member will also do. And what elements should your recommendation letter include to be effective
#1: Explaining Your Qualification
In the first paragraph, you should explain who you are, how you know the
candidate and how long you worked with him. In this way, you are showing that you’re much qualified to give an honest assessment. Strong letters give positive
descriptions of your qualifications in a concise and powerful way, which creates a professional and trustworthy image of you.
#2: Being Customized to the New Position
While you should speak to the candidate’s accomplishments in his past role, you should also show why he’d make a good fit in the next one. You should explain why he has the desired ability to do the job well, and attach the greatest importance to this, even if the candidate’s making a career change. The candidate should provide you
with everything you need to know to customize your letter. By drawing on this
information, you can express confidence that the candidate will succeed in the new role. Then when the hiring manager reads your letter, he’ll feel reassured that the candidate would make a good fit.
#3: Using Specific Examples
Finally, your letter should provide specific examples about the candidate. Don’t just list adjectives like, “friendly, intelligent, and hard-working”; instead, present
circumstances in which the candidate demonstrated those qualities. Not only will
examples point to the value the candidate brought to your organization or company,
but they’ll also paint a picture of how he works in day-to-day operations. Using two to three specific examples in your letter will boost its level of persuasiveness.
1 ．Who are the intended readers of this passage
A ．Assessors. B ．Employers. C ．Candidates. D ．Recommenders.
2．According to the passage, a candidate’s is usually the most suitable to write a recommendation letter.
A ．powerful friend B ．supervisory manager
C ．respected neighbor D ．trustworthy colleague
3 ．What should a writer put emphasis on in a recommendation letter
A ．Presenting the reader with the candidate’s ability.
B ．Exhibiting his knowledge about the new industry.
C ．Customizing the letter with eye-catching drawings.
D ．Showing the candidate’s intelligence with examples.
B
The exact location in France where Dutch master Vincent van Gogh painted his last work of art has been discovered.
A Dutch researcher figured out that a scene described in the artist’s last work, Tee Root, was visible on a postcard showing a man standing next to a bicycle on a back street of the village Auvers-sur-Oise. Van Gogh spent the last weeks of his life in the village. Helpfully, the card even included the name of the street.
Researchers were given a unique glimpse (体验) into the famous painter’s final hours. He was at work right up to the end.
Wouter van der Veen, scientific director of the Van Gogh Institute in France,
made the discovery. While stuck at home, van de Veen used the extra time to organize
the numerous files and documents on van Gogh, including images such as the old
postcard from Auvers-sur-Oise. One day in late April, he saw the card on his
computer screen and it suddenly struck him that he was looking at the location of Tree Roots. Next to the man and his bicycle, roots and trees are clearly visible. He took a
virtual trip down the site using Google’s Street View.
“Villagers know the spot and the main tree root well, even giving it the name
‘the elephant’ because of its shapes,” van der Veen said. “It was really hiding in overt sight.”
The discovery provides tourists with an extra reason to visit Auvers-sur-Oise.
“They travel a lot just for one reason — to walk in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh. Now they can stand at the very place where he painted his last painting,” van der
Veen said. “And that’s a very moving thing for a lot of people. So I’m very happy to be able to share that with all those who love van Gogh.”
4 ．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A ．What the postcard revealed. B ．How Tree Roots was discovered.
C ．Why Auvers-sur-Oise became known. D ．Where van Gogh painted his works. 5 ．How did van der Veen confirm his discovery
A ．He studied a picture of Auvers-sur-Oise.
B ．He organized his data on van Gogh.
C ．He traveled to France to see for himself.
D ．He paid a visit to the spot online.
6 ．What does the underlined word “overt” in paragraph 5 mean
A ．Mixed. B ．Obvious. C ．Lovely. D ．Strange.
7 ．What can we infer about tourists to Auvers-sur-Oise
A ．They enjoy exploring how to paint. B ．They share their love for van Gogh.
C ．They admire van Gogh very much. D ．They want to experience the life there.
C
Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is “eating” its host galaxy to death.
The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the James
Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect the black hole, which dates from 400 million years after the big bang. The results, which lead author Professor Roberto Maiolino
says are “a giant leap forward”, are reported in the journal Nature.
This surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe
challenges our assumptions about how black holes form and grow. The size of this
newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might form in other ways: they might be ‘born big’ or they can eat matter at a rate that’s five times higher than had been
thought possible. Like all black holes, this young black hole devours material from its host galaxy to fuel its growth.
According to standard models, supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars, which collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the
mass of the Sun. If it grew in an expected way, this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to its observed size. However, the universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected.
The young host galaxy, called GN-z11, is a compact galaxy, about one hundred times smaller than the Milky Way, but the black hole is likely harming its
development. When black holes consume too much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This “wind” could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing
the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black hole’s source of“food”.
Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his career. “It’s a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo’s telescope to a modern telescope overnight,” he said. “The universe has been quite generous in what it’s showing us, and this is just the beginning.”
8 ．What does the underlined word “devours” mean in Paragraph 3
A ．Changes. B ．Swallows. C ．Observes. D ．Forms.
9 ．According to Paragraph 5, why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed
A ．Because the host galaxy is too small.
B ．Because the black hole is killing itself.
C ．Because the “wind” ceases star formation.
D ．Because black holes produce too much gas.
10 ．What is Maiolino’s attitude to the new discovery about the black hole
A ．Favorable. B ．Intolerant. C ．Doubtful. D ．Ambiguous.
11 ．What can we learn from this passage
A ．The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size.
B ．Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight.
C ．The new discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward.
D ．The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the “wind”.
D
Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television
programme ‘Top Gear’, discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said, “That’s quite a strange combination. It’s like, ‘this must be done absolutely perfectly … tomorrow’ ”.
This joke played on stereotypes of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions(断言).
We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy
I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being
“generally rather casual” and “more outwardly friendly than many European
countries” . German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very
direct and according to the website, they “do not need a personal relationship in order to do business”. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.
So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in
Clarkson’s joke, but not batting an eyelid(眨眼) when it comes to generalizations. What is the difference between the two
By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image
or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.
So what does this really mean Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist’s experience.
If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings. In this way, some people argue that generalizing another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of
different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures. However, others argue that generalizing
cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalizing cultures and start treating people as individuals.
All this raises important questions: can making generalizations about groups of people be a positive thing Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions
about different groups
12 ．When he said, “It’s like, ‘this must be done absolutely perfectly…tomorrow’”, Jeremy Clarkson really meant .
A ．the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good
B ．the combination of half German and half Irish is interesting
C ．the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are opposite
D ．the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish won’t
13 ．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A ．The Swiss can play the alphorn quite well.
B ．The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.
C ．The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.
D ．The Swiss tend to arrive on time on various occasions.
14 ．Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because .
A ．they don’t want to offend other people
B ．generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes
C ．cultural characteristics are better than stereotypes
D ．they think different cultural characteristics are useful
15 ．The main purpose of this passage is to .
A ．illustrate the importance of making generalizations
B ．show it is wrong to play jokes on stereotypes of different people
C ．tell us the differences between stereotypes and cultural characteristics
D ．discuss whether it is good to make generalizations about groups of people

If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. True, letting yourself be
overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To extinguish your regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow; it
consigns you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.
As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive feat. It requires that
you go back to a past scenario, imagine that you acted differently to change it, and
with that new scenario in mind, arrive at a different present — and then, compare that fictional present with the one you are experiencing in reality. 16 You would remember your own pettiness and irritability, and then imagine yourself showing
more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would
fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be flourishing instead of languishing.
17 Pink says they come in four basic varieties, and an instance of
regret may involve just one or a combination. Wishing you’d been kinder to your
partner is an example of a connection regret, in which you lament behavior that
harmed an important relationship, such as spoiling a romance or neglecting your bond with relatives before they died.
Many connection regrets overlap with moral regrets, which can come about after you violate your own values. For example, you may pride yourself on being a loving person, and thus regret not living up to this image in the relationship you
harmed. Moral regrets can also involve just yourself. 18
Pink’s other two categories of regrets involve life choices. Foundation regrets
are those in which you did something that affected the course of your life in a way
you don’t like. A classic example is wishing you had stayed in school. 19 . They are all about inaction and forgone opportunities. This is what you feel when you kick yourself for not taking a chance, as in wishing you had just gone up to that
attractive person and introduced yourself.
20 Regret is implicated in depression and anxiety, and excessive
regret can adversely affect your hormones and immune system. In 2013, researchers
asked one group of participants in an experiment to describe “your most burdensome regret” right before going to bed; this group took 61 percent longer to get to sleep than a group told to think about a typical day.
But regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. The trick is not to remove the bad feeling; it’s to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. Instead of
letting the specter of your failed relationship make you miserable, by simply wishing it had tuned out differently you can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future.
A ．Not all regrets are the same of course.
B ．Meanwhile, boldness regrets are the opposite.
C ．Regret may hurt, but obsessing over them is destructive.
D ．Your regret can teach you to become smarter and more successful — if you let it.
E ．Unanalyzed and unmanaged, any variety of regret can be poison for your well-being.
F ．Maybe you regret not living up to your commitment to your health when you ate a whole pizza or skipped the gym.
G ．For example, if today your relationship with your partner has soured, your regret might mentally take you back to last year.

Our old, artificial Christmas tree was in rough shape by the time we withdrew it. At least a decade had passed since my wife and I the tree from the
Christmas retail market in Brooklyn, a medium-sized fir (冷杉) with built-in lights, and moved it on the subway to our previous .
Over the years, we dragged that tree from apartment to apartment, it onto a moving truck to Los Angeles and later crammed (挤进) the box
which was centuries-old, this time to Chicago and our home. By the end, layers of tape held the box together, the wear and tear of a decade of
holiday joy.
Our little tree looked running , but it was the only tree our family ever knew. It stood and glowing in the background of photos of me and my
pregnant wife during our last Christmas in Brooklyn without children. She was eagerly expecting the baby’s coming. Our was born a month later
during a January snowstorm. The tree again in the next year’s photos, this time surrounded by holiday gifts for a boy about to one. Then it appeared in photos of our son and his 1-month-old brother.
And in more recent photos, our tree lighted up overlooking glistening Chicago snow.
This year, after much debate, we decided to our dear old tree, with its branches and the lights that had burned out years ago. Rather than feel terribly blue, we used the moment to launch a new family tradition: our first real

It had been a year since Susan, thirty-four, became blind. As the result of a
medical accident she was sightless, suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. Once an independent woman, Susan now became a
powerless, helpless burden to everyone around her. No matter how much she cried or prayed, she knew the painful truth that her sight was never going to return. All she
had to depend on was her husband Mark.
Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and he became determined to use every means possible to help his wife.
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there She used to take the bus, but she was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to ride the bus with Susan each morning and evening until she got the hang ofit. And that is exactly what happened.
For two weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, especially her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.
Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a taxi back to his office. Although that meant he had to travel through the city and the routine was costly and exhausting, Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan would be able to ride the bus on her own. He believed in her.
Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived. Before she left, she embraced her husband tightly, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She felt she was so lucky for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight.
Paragraph 1:
She said goodbye and, for the first time, they went their separate ways.

Paragraph 2:
On Friday morning, as Susan was stepping onto the bus as usual, the driver said, “Miss, I sure envy you.” Curious, Susan asked the driver why.

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了推荐信应该包含哪些要素才能有效。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“And what elements should your recommendation letter include to be effective (你的推荐信应该包含哪些要素才能有效？)”可推知，这篇文章是写给推荐者的。故选 D。
2．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“You would be a wonderful fit if you worked with the candidate in a supervisory position, say, a manager or boss of some sort, for an employer always wants a
professional reference. Occasionally, letters from a colleague, a friend, neighbor, or family
member will also do. (如果你和应聘者一起工作在管理职位上，比如经理或老板之类的职位上，你将是一个非常合适的人选，因为雇主总是想要一份专业的推荐信。偶尔， 来自同事、朋友、邻居或家人的信件也可以)”可知，根据短文，候选人的主管通常最适合写推荐信。故选 B。
3．细节理解题。根据#2: Being Customized to the New Position 部分中的“You should explain why he has the desired ability to do the job well, and attach the greatest importance to this, even if the candidate’s making a career change. (你应该解释他为什么有能力把工作做好，并把这一点放在最重要的位置，即使这位候选人要转行)”可知，写信者应该在推荐信中向读者重点展示应聘者的能力。故选 A。
4 ．A 5 ．D 6 ．B 7 ．C
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了研究人员偶然间在一张明信片上发现了梵高人生最后一幅画创作的地点。
4 ．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“A Dutch researcher figured out that a scene described in the
artist’s last work, Tree Root, was visible on a postcard showing a man standing next to a bicycle
on a back street of the village Auvers-sur-Oise.（一位荷兰研究人员发现，在一张明信片上可以看到梵高的最后一幅画《树根》中描绘的场景， 一名男子站在奥维尔村庄一条后街上的自行车旁）”可知，第二段承接上文，主要描述这一发现的由来，即一张明信片上发现了梵高最后一幅画中的场景。故选 A 项。
5．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“He took a virtual trip down the site using Google’s Street View.（他通过谷歌街景对该地点进行了一次虚拟旅行）”可知，研究人员 van der Veen 正是在看过明信片后，通过谷歌街景的模拟旅行进行了确认。故选 D 项。
6．词句猜测题。根据第五段中 van der Veen 的话“Villagers know the spot and the main tree root well, even giving it the name ‘the elephant’ because of its shapes,（村民们都知道这个地方和主
干树根，甚至根据其形状命名为“大象”）”和“It was really hiding in overt sight.（它真的就藏在眼皮底下）”可知，联系上下文，显然梵高最后一幅画中的地方并不是无毛之地，相反很多人都知道这里，但就是没有人将它们联系起来，overt 在这里应表示“ 明显的” 以表达“藏在眼皮底下” 的含义。故选 B 项。
7 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段中 van der Veen 的话“They travel a lot just for one reason—to walk in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh. Now they can stand at the very place where he painted his last painting,（他们很多人来旅游都是抱着一个目的——追寻梵高的足迹。现在他们可以站在他创作最后一幅画的地方了）”和“And that’s a very moving thing for a lot of people. So
I’m very happy to be able to share that with all those who love van Gogh（对许多人来说这是很感人的一件事。所以我很高兴能与那些喜爱梵高的人分享这一点）”可知，慕名而来的游客们大都是出于对梵高的欣赏和仰慕、想要追寻他最后的足迹。故选 C 项。
8 ．B 9 ．C 10 ．A 11 ．D
这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述研究人员发现了迄今为止观测到的最古老的黑洞，可以追溯到宇宙诞生之初，并发现它正在“吞噬”它的宿主星系至死。
8．词义猜测题。根据第一段中“and found that it is ‘eating’ its host galaxy to death (并发现它正在‘吞噬’它的宿主星系至死)”以及划线词前“Like all black holes (像所有的黑洞一样)”可知，
最古老的黑洞正在吞噬它的宿主星系至死，由此可知，划线词所在句意为“像所有的黑洞一样，这个年轻的黑洞正在吞噬来自宿主星系的物质来促进它的成长” ，devours 与上文的
“eating”同义，意为“吞噬”，故选 B。
9 ．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When black holes consume too much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This ‘wind’ could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing
