After one year, I was moved to the HR department.
W: Was that a better fit?

As you probably know, every year, young songwriters from our town enter our annual spring competition held here in the beautiful Brook Theater. When local musician Fred McGill started the event four years ago, we had no idea how much it would grow. In 2017, over 100 people sent in their songs. This year the number of people who participated doubled. It’s wonderful to see the talent and energy of the next generation. Our judges were amazed by the musical skills they saw and heard. Congratulations to all the teenagers who sent in their songs. It was a difficult choice, but our committee has made a selection. Let’s clap our hands for Maryanne James! Maryanne, where are you? Please join me on stage! There she is! Maryanne, we loved the way you sang about everything from the colors of your garden to the eyes of children. Please accept this prize. We hope it encourages you to continue writing songs when you start music school in the fall. Finally, we’d like to ask you to perform a song for our audience.

Their man-servant had been sent one morning to Exeter on business, and when he waited at table, he began to chat with his mistress（女主人）.
“I suppose you know, ma’am, that Mr. Ferrars is married?”
Marianne gave a violent start, fixed her eyes upon Elinor, saw her turning pale, fell back in her chair and lost control of her emotions. Mrs. Dashwood was shocked to realize by Elinor’s expression how much she really suffered.
Mrs. Dashwood immediately took all that trouble on herself, and Elinor had the benefit of the information without the effort of seeking it.
“Who told you that Mr. Ferrars was married, Thomas?”
“I see Mr. Ferrars myself, ma’am, this morning in Exeter, and his lady too, Miss Steele as was. They were stopping in a chaise（马车）at the door of the New London Inn, and she knew me and called to me, and inquired after you, ma’am, and the young ladies, especially Miss Marianne.”
“But did she tell you she was married, Thomas?”
“Yes, ma’am.” She smiled, and said how she had changed her name since she was in these parts.
“Was Mr. Ferrars in the carriage with her?”
“Yes, ma’am, I just see him leaning back in it, but he did not look up: he never was a gentleman much for talking.”
Elinor’s heart could easily account for his not putting himself forward, and Mrs. Dashwood probably found the same explanation.
“Was there no one else in the carriage?” “No, ma’am, only they two.”
“Do you know where they came from?”
“They come straight from town, as Miss Steele -- Mrs. Ferrars told me.” “And are they going farther westward?”
“Yes, ma’am, but they will soon be back again, and then they’d be sure and call here.”
Thomas’s intelligence seemed over. Elinor looked as if she wished to hear more. Mrs. Dashwood could think of no other question, and Thomas and the tablecloth, were soon afterwards dismissed. Mrs. Dashwood’s and Elinor’s appetites（胃口）were completely lost. They remained long together in a similarity of thoughtfulness and silence.
24. What’s Elinor’s reaction at the news from the man-servant?
A. She expressed mixed emotions.
B. She burst out crying.
C. She went pale from suffering a lot.
D. She exploded with great anger.
25. Why does Mrs Dashwood ask so many questions?
A. She was only too curious about the couple.
B. She wanted to find out who Mr. Ferrars married.
C. She wanted to satisfy her daughters with her questions.
D. She wanted to cheer her daughters up with the news.
26. How does the servant sound when answering questions?
A. Confident.
B. Doubtful.
C. Joyful.
D. Scared.
27. What can we learn from the text?
A. Mr. Ferrars was not in the carriage at all.
B. The lady the servant encountered was not Mrs. Ferrars.
C. The Dashwoods would never see Mr. Ferrars again.
D. The news upset the mother and daughter terribly.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D

以及Dashwood太太的不安。

)可知，Elinor听到男仆的消息后
，因痛苦而脸色苍白。

根据第三段内容可知，Dashwood太太和Elinor
听到Ferrars先生结婚的消息，都很痛苦，再结合Dashwood 太太的问题“Who told you that Mr. Ferrars was married, Thomas?”(Thomas，谁告诉你Ferrars先生结婚了？)和“But did she tell you she was married, Thomas?”(可是她告诉你她结婚了吗，Thomas？)以及“Was Mr. Ferrars in the carriage with her? ”(Ferrars先生跟她在马车里吗？)等可推知，Dashwood想要弄清楚Ferrars先生到底与谁结了婚。

【26题详解】
推理判断题。

根据男仆的三个肯定回答“Yes.…”(是的……)和一个否定回答“No…”(没有……)以及最后一段中“Thomas’s intelligence seemed over.”(Thomas的智慧似乎结束了。

故选A项。

【27题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中“Elinor looked as if she wished to hear more, Mrs. Dashwood could think of no other question, and Thomas and the tablecloth, were soon afterwards dismissed. Mrs. Dashwood’s and Elinor’s appetites were completely lost.”(Elinor似乎还想再听下去，Dashwood太太想不出别的问题，不久Thomas和桌布就被打发走了。

故选D项。

C
A study by Harvard researchers found that mind wandering, or daydreaming, consumes an average of 47% of
peoples’ waking hours. This brings about the question：If mind wandering is so costly to our well-being, then why in the world are we so willing to spend nearly half of our lives in this mental state?
Creative thinkers know, despite what their parents, teachers and school leaders might have told them, that daydreaming is hardly a waste of time. But unfortunately, many students learn to suppress their natural instincts to dream and imagine-instead, they’re taught to fit into a standardized model and to learn by the book, in a way that may not feel natural and that very well may suppress their natural desire to create. But as two famous psychologists recently noted, “Not all minds who wander are lost”-in fact, the mind’s wandering is vital to imagination and creative thought.
Nearly 50 years ago, psychologist Jerome L. Singer established that daydreaming is a normal and indeed widespread aspect of human experience. He found that many people are “happy daydreamers” who enjoy their inner imagery and fantasy. According to Singer, these daydreamers “simply value and enjoy their private experiences, are willing to risk wasting a certain amount of time on them, but also can apparently use them for effective planning and for self-amusement during periods of routine task activity or boredom.”
Singer coined the term positive-constructive daydreaming to describe this type of mind wandering, which he distinguished from poor attention and anxious, obsessive fantasies. By making these important distinctions, Singer was able to highlight the positive, adaptive role that daydreaming can play in our daily lives, under the right circumstances.
28. Who are aware that daydreaming is not a waste of time?
A. Teachers.
B. Parents.
C. School leaders.
D. Creative thinkers.
29. According to the passage, daydreaming is very important to ______.
A. learning by the book
B. imagination and creation
C. suppression of inner desires
D. instincts and amusements
30. What does the underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Private experience.
B. Circumstances.
C. Fantasies.
D. Happy dreamers.
31. What is true of positive-constructive daydreaming according to the passage?
A. It is a useful mental state.
B. It is similar to poor attention.
C. It is an anxious. obsessive fantasy.
D. It is a standardized model.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。

文章主要讨论幻想在日常生活中的重要性。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段“Creative thinkers know, despite what their parents, teachers and school leaders might have told them, that daydreaming is hardly a waste of time.（尽管他们的父母、老师、校领导已经告诉过他们，但是创造性的思想家知道幻想几乎并不浪费时间。

）”可知，创造性的思想家意识到幻想不是在浪费时间，故选D项。

【29题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段“But as two famous psychologists recently noted, “Not all minds who wander are lost”-in fact, the mind’s wandering is vital to imagination and creative thought.（但是两位著名的心理学家最近指出：不是所有走神的人都是迷茫的。

事实上，思想开小差对想象和创造性想法是至关重要的。

）”可知，幻想对想象和创造很重要，故选B项。

【30题详解】
指代猜测题。

根据第三段“According to Singer, these daydreamers “simply value and enjoy their private experiences, are willing to risk wasting a certain amount of time on them, but also can apparently use them for effective planning and for self-amusement during periods of routine task activity or boredom.”（根据Singer说，这些仅仅珍视并享受他们私人经历的幻想家们愿意冒险浪费一部分时间在他们上面，显然也能在例行公事的任务活动和无聊中用他们做些有效的计划，并且自娱自乐。

）”可知，幻想家们珍视并享受他们私人经历，所以愿意冒险浪费时间在私人经历上。

故此处them指代的是their private experiences（私人经历），故选A项。

【31题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段“By making these important distinctions, Singer was able to highlight the positive, adaptive role that daydreaming can play in our daily lives, under the right circumstances.（通过做出这些重要的区别，Singer有能力突出幻想在我们日常生活中，在适当的情况下，
可以发挥积极的适应作用。

）”可知，positive-constructive
daydreaming指的是一种在人们日常生活中扮演积极和适应性的角色，对人们的日常生活起到重要作用，是一种有用的心境。

故选A项。

D
There are so many rabbits across Australia that it may be surprising to learn that they are a non-native species.
A few rabbits arrived with British settlers in 1788, but it was not until 1859, when a British-born farmer named Thomas Austin brought 24 European rabbits to his land for hunting, that they began to live there. They are an excellent example of an invasive (侵入的) species, a non-native species that does harm to its new environment.
Rabbits have lived well in many different environments within Australia, such as grasslands, coastal areas, farmland, and even in towns or cities. Their activities have destroyed crops and plants. They compete directly with
other wildlife for food and shelter, including taking over burrows (地洞) of other animals. They have led to dangerously reduced populations of many plant and animal species.
Efforts to control the rabbit population have had mixed success. The first main effort was the Rabbit-Proof Fence. In 1901, the government started building a knee in the state of Western Australia to protect farmland from rabbits. By the time it was finished in 1907, the Rabbit-Proof Fence ran some 2,000 miles from north to south. The Acting Chief Inspector of Rabbits, Alexander Crawford, headed a team whose job was to go around keeping the fence in working order. But over time, the fence proved to be no match for the rabbits.
Other main efforts have included programs to destroy rabbit burrows or use viruses that sicken and kill rabbits. Again, these efforts have been less than successful. The big problem to any efforts to control the rabbit population is simply that their population grows so quickly. One female can have 30 young in a year.
If Thomas Austin had known the damage that the rabbits would cause across the country, he might have had second thoughts about bringing rabbits to Australia.
32. Why did rabbits begin to live in Australia?
A. They travelled there by chance.
B. They were brought in by Thomas Austin.
C. They were introduced by the government.
D. They moved there to escape bad environment.
33. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Some activities of rabbits.
B. Rabbits’ ability to live in the wild.
C. How fast the population of rabbits grows.
D. The damage rabbits have caused to Australia.
34. How successful was the Rabbit-Proof Fence?
A It failed in the beginning.
B. It didn’t live up to expectations.
C. It was unfinished for lack of money.
D. It failed later for nobody protected it.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Rabbits and farming
B. Efforts to control rabbits
C. Rabbits: experts in burrowing
D. Rabbits: unwelcome newcomers
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。

文章主要讲述了兔子是澳大利亚的入侵物种，对澳大利亚造成了破坏，以及控制兔子数量的努力成败参半。

【32题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段中“A few rabbits arrived with British settlers in 1788, but it was not until 1859, when a British-born farmer named Thomas Austin brought 24 European rabbits to his land for hunting, that they began to live there. (1788年，一些兔子随着英国定居者来到了这里，但直到1859年，一个名叫Thomas Austin的英国农民带了24只欧洲兔子到他的土地上打猎，这些兔子才开始在这里生活)”可知，兔子被Thom as Austin引进，开始生活在澳大利亚。

故选B项。

【33题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第二段中“Their activities have destroyed crops and plants. They compete directly with other wildlife for food and shelter, including taking over burrows (地洞) of other animals. They have led to dangerously reduced populations of many plant and animal species. (它们的活动破坏了庄稼和植物。

它们直接与其他野生动物争夺食物和住所，包括占领其他动物的洞穴。

它们已经导致许多动植物物种的数量危险地减少)”可知，第二段主要讲的是兔子对澳大利亚造成的破坏。

故选D项。

【34题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中“But over time, the fence proved to be no match for the rabbits. (但随着时间的推移，篱笆被证明不是兔子的对手)”可知，防兔篱笆辜负了人们的期望。

故选B项。

【35题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中“They are an excellent example of an invasive (侵入的) species, a non-native species that does harm to its new environment. (它们是入侵物种的一个很好的例子，一种对新环境造成伤害的非本地物种)”和最后一段“If Thomas Austin had known the damage that the rabbits would cause across the country, he might have had second thoughts about bringing rabbits to Australia. (如果Thomas Austin知道兔子会在全国造成的损害，他可能会重新考虑是否把兔子带到澳大利亚)”可知，本文主要讲述了兔子是澳大利亚的入侵物种，对澳大利亚造成了破坏，以及控制兔子数量的努力成败参半。

因此本文的最佳标题选项D“兔子：不受欢迎的新来者”符合题意。

故选D项。
