When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began.
Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching students composition. I spent afternoons taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.
As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 am. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my bedside table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began.
Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel.
What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if it's the only way.

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don't know. Many calls we receive are scams (欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, applications and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it's too little, too late. By the time these "solutions" become widely available, scammers will have moved on to cleverer means. In the near future, it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is actually real.
That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. A company once showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and make a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother's name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they're able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller's, tricking you into "confirming" your address, mother's name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies threaten to undermine that.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecommunications networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving toward data-based communications — using some applications, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
28. How does the author feel about the solutions to the problem of robocalls
A. Satisfied. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
29. What can scammers do taking advantage of the new technologies
A. Aim at victims precisely. B. Damage databases easily.
C. Start campaigns rapidly. D. Spread information widely.
30. What does the text imply
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be a double-edged sword.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. Where the problem of robocalls is rooted
B. Who is to blame for the problem of robocalls
C. Why robocalls are about to get more dangerous
D. How robocalls are affecting the world of technology
D
Would you bet on the future of this man Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, he determines to write a book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world. That former prisoner was Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote（《堂吉诃德》）. And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before
We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark. I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top. We can't all get there. I'm talking about people who have stopped learning because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.
Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialisation and then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the opportunities are everywhere.
With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos (自我), whether to beloved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.
Many of us equate (同等看待) "commitment" with such "caring" occupations as teaching and nursing. But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work towards such excellence — whether they are driving a truck, or running a store — make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They've learnt life's most valuable lesson.
32. Why does the text start with the story of Cervantes
A. To show loss of freedom stimulates one's creativity.
B. To show age is not a barrier to achieving one's goal.
C. To explain misery inspires a man to fight against his fate.
D. To explain disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success.
33. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. End one's struggle for liberty. B. Waste one's energy taking risks.
C. Miss the opportunity to succeed. D. Lose interest in learning.
34. What could be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.
B. Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.
C. Opportunity favours those with a curious mind.
D. Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.
B. To stress the need for shouldering responsibilities at work.
C. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.
D. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.

Today it is common to see people who walk about wearing earphones wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them. 36 So are you one of them
For me, walking about in my own personal bubble is perfect. 37 What's even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, "I'm not available for chatting at the moment."
Suppose you're at work and about to make a breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this exact moment, the slightest disturbance would interrupt your work. 38
39 It's probably part of the growing-up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume, smile, and say, "Yes, Mum." The problem is solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty coloured wires hanging from our ears, our brains will also be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We'll be in a virtual world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. 40 And they are changing our social habits along the way.
A. Outside life is shut out.
B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C. Our high-tech tools are changing quickly.
D. In the home situation, teenagers love earphones.
E. I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.
F. Maybe I just heard a song that reminded me of a happy memory.
G. Once again, wearing earphones would be sure to give that "Go away!" signal.

Family values are principles that help to define us as human beings. These values are usually passed down 56 one generation to another. However, they can also change over time, 57 (depend) upon the circumstances in which families find themselves. They shape the way we behave, they help families stick together, 58 they give us our identity.
We always admire a person 59 treats the elderly with respect, or helps people in need, or is always honest with others. Such 60 (admire) behaviour is usually a direct result of the values that person 61 (teach) by his or her family.
These values or principles — respect, fairness and 62 (honest) among many others — also help hold the family together in times of trouble. When problems arise, the family is able to withstand them because they share 63 same idea about what is important. When family members feel pressure from the outside world, they know they can turn to 64 (they) family for comfort and encouragement.
Finally, family values make us who we are. When we talk about our personal character and what 65 (influence) our decisions, we do so based on the values given to us by our family.

Tommy Wilkinson never got the best things to play with. His father sold old, used cars while his mother taught at a local nursery school. His parents worked very hard for a living, so they wanted him to learn the value of money at a very young age.
But Tommy's childish desires got the best of him. He felt jealous of his best friend's new fancy bicycle. One day, Tommy gathered the courage to demand the bicycle. His parents refused him. But his dad, Peter Wilkinson, made a suggestion. "You can get the bike if you save up for it," said Peter. Without a second thought, Tommy decided to set aside some of his pocket money every day to raise the amount he needed. Every day, the little boy made sure he placed some money into his piggy-bank.
After almost two years, the day finally arrived. "Finally!" Tommy joyfully shouted as he dropped the piggy-bank to the floor. Inside was $830! More than the $600 he was aiming for! Instantly, the excited boy asked his dad to take him to the bike shop.
On their way to the shop, Tommy accompanied his dad to the supermarket to buy some groceries. They were lining up at the checkout when Tommy noticed an old woman with a little girl in a wheelchair. The old woman dropped her groceries on the road. She looked helpless, and since she was holding the little girl's wheelchair, she couldn't pick them up.
Tommy quickly approached the woman. "Hey, let me help you. Where is your car " he asked the woman whose name was Barbara. The woman told him that they lived across the street and didn't have a car. "I'll carry them for you," said Tommy. On the way, the woman's granddaughter, Chloe, told Tommy their story. It turned out that Chloe injured her leg in a car crash, and her parents died in it. Barbara had to sell her car to pay for Chloe's surgery and wheelchair. Their story moved Tommy.
After arriving at Barbara's house, Tommy made an unbelievable offer. "I'll get you a car!" he shouted with joy. "Not a new one, though. My dad sells used cars and I'll get you one!" Tommy's offer really shocked Barbara. "But I don't think I can afford a car now," she said.
注意：
Paragraph 1：
"Don't worry! My dad will help you get one. I promise!" said Tommy firmly.

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
“Don’t worry! My dad will help you get one. I promise!” said Tommy firmly. The boy immediately rushed back to talk to his dad about it. “Well, it’s hard to buy a car if she has no money,” said Peter. Tommy felt disheartened because he had promised Barbara he would get her a car. Then Peter came up with another suggestion. “Maybe I can help her with a monthly payment plan, so she won’t have to pay the whole amount at once. But still, it won’t be easy for her.” Without hesitation, Tommy said, “I can help her with my $830!”
Paragraph 2:
Peter was surprised that Tommy would offer to give all his savings to help Barbara. “Are you sure ” asked Peter. “Yes! She needs a car more than I need a bike, Dad,” said Tommy. Peter was deeply touched by his son’s kindness and agreed. Soon, he helped Barbara get a used car. Tommy was truly happy, and he stopped complaining about the things he didn’t have. Instead, he felt grateful for the good health and love he was blessed with. He realised that the goodness around him was priceless and that money was nothing compared to it.
