阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
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

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
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.

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 of it. 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.

【答案】 This is a photo of my classmates and me at the school sports meeting. We are cheering excitedly, with radiant smiles and energetic faces. The golden sunshine bathes us, making the moment warm and memorable.
I choose it because it symbolizes our precious bond, teamwork and perseverance, which have supported me through tough days. Every time I look at it, I feel strength and courage welling up in my heart.
Looking ahead, I will cherish these memories, strive for excellence in college, pursue my dreams bravely and embrace a promising future.
【答案】Paragraph 1:
She said goodbye and, for the first time, they went their separate ways. She made her way carefully up the steps with the white cane. She paid the driver and then, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, settled into one. She placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday..., each day everything on her own went perfectly. She was doing it!
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. “You know, every morning for the past week, a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you when you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches you until you enter your office building. You are one lucky lady,” the bus driver said. When she knew the fact, tears poured down Susan’s cheeks, which were full of gratitude and happiness as well. Susan knew that she wouldn’t have made such great progress without Mark’s help. It’s Mark’s love that brought light into darkness.
