"Keep your eyes on the road ahead," my driving instructor said. "You go in the direction you look. " I remembered the remark several years later, when my mom and I reached a crossroads in our writing careers. We'd been writing separately, not making much progress toward our goal of getting published.
One day, Mom suggested we write a romance novel together. She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns, since there'd always be something to build from. The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try. Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists and turns had taken place while we were gone. We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it.
We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers. Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up. From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book. Once finished, we bravely sent off our second effort- and did no better. Then the third . . After yet another rejection, Mom grew disheartened, wondering if we should give up.
Suddenly my driving instructor's words came back to me. I said, "Maybe we ought to look where we're going. " I continued, "It's like driving. We've taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy. "
"You're right" Mom let out a long breath. "I haven't been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they're popular. There's no real heart in our stories. "
The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year.
66. How did the author feel about writing with her mother
A. Amused.

D. Embarrassed.

In today's fast-paced society, Urgency Culture'is on the rise. This culture is characterized by an addiction to immediate responses, the praise of multitasking and the expectation of constant availability.
Among the impacts of urgency culture are increased anxiety and stress. Research on mental health has established that there is more professional and personal burnout happening than ever before. In addition, the rise of urgency culture takes away our ability to do meaningful work as we continue to value quantity over quality.
As a project manager, I had to learn the art of slowing down and stepping away from urgency culture. It's taken me over a decade to let go of a long list of things. including the false belief of being needed by people who are constantly on the end of a phone ringing me. My phone is now on silent.
Those who do need to get in touch, message me. I check my messages when I am in between work tasks, and respond when I can, not when others believe that they need me to.
I've also gotten much better at laying down boundaries. One boundary is saying 'No' to things that will cost me labour with no returns, whether this is physical, emotional, monetary or other. The best part about it is that you notice how many friends, workmates or even close relationships disappear when you stop saying yes to everything. It's tough to realise that they preferred you without boundaries, agreeing to their every request, at the cost of your own emotional well-being, But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more.
Now I can manage my life better. The key thing is to acknowledge what you want and if it's more balance and well-being, walk on a road that will get you there.
71. Which of the following belongs to urgency culture
A. Giving urgent tasks high priority.
B. Expecting others to stay reachable.
C. Valuing work quality over quantity.
D. Agreeing to others' requests readily.
72. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about urgency culture
A. Its definition.
B. Its main characteristics.
C. Its popularity.
D. Its harmful effects.
73. Why does the author put his phone on silent
A. To escape frequent social activities.
B. To overcome his addiction to the phone.
C. To break his habit of making immediate responses.
D. To avoid interruption from the project manager.
74. What is the author's view on setting boundaries
A. It strengthens meaningful relationships.
B. It prevents professional growth.
C. It improves personal independence.
D. It leads to emotional distance.
75. What's the author's purpose in writing this text
A. To warn people of the negative effects of urgency culture.
B. To share his own experience of stepping away from urgency culture.
C. To introduce the concept of urgency culture.
D. To call for people to stop saying yes to everyone.
五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，按字数限制简答。
I'm lucky enough to have come from a family of mountaineers, so I have been climbing for as long as I can remember. But it's particularly thanks to my father that I started tackling serious peaks at such a young age. When I was twelve years old, we travelled together to Alaska to climb Mount Denali.
The following year, I joined a youth expedition to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. After this, I went on to climb tough peaks in Australia, Argentina and Russia, each time with a different team. Most times the difficulty was in finding sponsors willing to help fund my trip.
In December of the year I turned 19, I headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging expedition I had done so far. First there was the long, demanding journey down to the 'frozen continent' We took a flight to southern Chile and then caught a cargo plane on to the Antarctic, with no heating, real seats or windows. Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain. Still, this experience was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The colours of the ice, air and sky there were so pure without the pollution we have got so used to everywhere else.
By this time, I had gained a lot of experience and felt I was ready for 'the big one', Mount Qomolangma. It stands at 8,848. 86 metres high and is not only the highest mountain on Earth but possibly the most unforgiving, too.
Since returning from Qomolangma I've been giving a series of talks and presentations on my expeditions. I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams. I had taken 68 flights along my journey to reach the seven summits. But I never doubted what I was doing. I truly believed that one day I was going to stand on the top of the world!
76. When did the author climb Mount Denali with her father (no more than 5 words)
77. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean (no more than 10 words)
78. Why did the author find Mount Vinson challenging (no more than 15 words)
79. What was the author's motivation for giving talks and presentations (no more than 12 words)
80. What do you think of the author Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
