AWhat would you want most on a desert island?This month’s survey shows people worldwide have a natural understanding of what they would need most if left alone on a desert island: another person. And one they know well. Respondents(应答者) in all 16 countries surveyed said their spouse or partner would be their first choice to have with them. Perhaps this makes sense: An MP3 player can’t help you find drinking water, your dog can’t help you start a fire and who knows if George Clooney or Penelope Cruze has taken courses in wilderness survival training? Let’s just hope the SOS sign you two build gets spotted sooner rather than later!“ My husband, of course! George Clooney wouldn’t think I’m as pretty as my husband does!” ---- Roseane, 42, Brazil“My MP3 player. I would not want my loved ones, including my pet, to be left alone like this.” ---- Co-Co, 28, China“My partner should be there to listen to me complain about the fact that we are left alone on an island-- probably due to some error he made.”---- Julia, 25, Jordan21.According to the survey, people left alone on a desert island would most want their ________.A.

Hawking said the book would be “a bit like Harry Potter” but w ithout the magic. “It explains the wonders of the universe,” said Hawking, while he was on a visit to Hong Kong over 10 years ago.Hawking, is probably the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein. He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.” Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking.Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selects his words from t he screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(语音合成器).“I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is the highest achievement in theoretical physics.24.

But I didn’t follow the path most new jazz artists take and produced original albums instead. I believe when you have something to sa y, you can’t really keep it down.Two of those original albums, Liquid Spirit and Take Me To The Alley, earned me a loyal fan base and two Grammys for best jazz album in 2014 and 2017 respectively.My idol is Nat King Cole, whose music has an important place in our household.I could smell the greens on the stove and the cornbread in the oven when I hear Nat’s music. I wanted to have his music come through my body and sing it as an expression of appreciation for him. My mother had always been a fan of his music. This is something I did one day: Imagine her coming home from some protest movement or march and putting on, “Smile though your heart is aching, smile even though it’s breaking.” Imagine her putting on, “Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.” I see the optimism and the strength in his music.Writing from a personal experience can bring about my feelings and power of feelings that can be instantly connected to the instrument and my voice. When I sing Mother’s Song, Insanity, even Holding On, I am expressing things I have a connection to.The song Holding On is a soul song. It connects to Nat King Cole with its optimism, the optimism about the power and the strength of love. I like the fact that I can have 17 to 25-year-olds all over the world jumping and dancing to this song. They’re still getting the message.28. How did the writer start his career as a musician?A. By copying his idol.B. By singing for awards.C. By covering the standards.D. By creating original music.29. What’s paragraph three mainly about?A. The writer’s childhood experience.B.

His personal emotions.B. His strong love for jazz.C. His attit ude toward social injustice.D. His memories of the good old days.31. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A. The dream of the wr iter’s mother has come true.B. The writer’s music is influencing young people.C. Nat King Cole’s jazz music highly valued by all.D. Optimism is the soul of the writer’s original songsDManagers and office busybodies might be keen on a clean desk, but it seems that in terms of productivity, they could have it all wrong. “A messy (凌乱的) desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking,” say researchers from Germany.The researchers found in a series of linked studies---using a messy desk and a messy shop front---that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. That is, visual and mental clutter (杂乱) forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. For instance, famous thinkers and writers such as Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl have been notorious (臭名昭著的) for their untidy desks.“Messy desks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as theproblem-solving approaches they seem to promote work efficiency or enhancee mployees’ creativity in problem solving,” say the authors.“Business and government managers often promote ‘clean desk’ policies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity,” writes a research er, Jia Liu of the University of Groningen. “This practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and messy environment can clutter one’s mind and complicate one’s judgments.”“However, not all evidence supports this conventional link betw een a messy environment and a messy mind”. The scientists tested people’s response in various messy environments, including a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language task reminded people of messiness.The authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking. “They classified products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a T-shirt that ha s a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers.32. Why did the author take Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl for example?A. To convince readers that untidiness is not all that bad.B. To inform readers of one way to success—untidy desks.C. To tell readers untidy desks can make you as famous as them.D. To attract readers and show the author’s wide range of knowledge.33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Not all people are in favor of “clean desk” in the office.B. People tend to clear up the mess before thinking clearly.C. A clean environment will do great harm to work efficiency.D. A messy environment will certainly lead to a messy mind.34. The underlined word “detrimental” probably mean_____.A. commonB. accessibleC. beneficialD. disadvantageous35. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The messier the desks are, the more efficient the employees are.B. We should make our office messy to improve our work efficiency.C. Messy desks in the office can have a positive effect on employees.D. Clean desks can promote the employees’ productivity and creativity.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
