Instead, they have a different mission — cleaning the Datar Beach. Collectively,they have made such a huge difference to the beach that the United Nations has recognized their contributions.“Actually the idea stemmed from my vacation to Bali, the clean beach leaving a great impression on me. After returning, I found our beaches in shambles. During a conversation with my mother, I was complaining about how bad our beaches are compared to beaches in Bali, and my mother just said, 'Don't complain, if you care, just go and clean. and thus'Beach Please'," Malhar said. “It began on September 10, 2017 and since then cleaning the garbage on the beach has become a weekend routine. Currently, there are 25 odd volunteers spending our weekends cleaning the beach.”After cleaning the beach for months, Malhar and his friends realized that it was of a little help and there is no end to this. They needed to contain the source which dumps garbage in the ocean. They found that the Mithi River is being used to dump the industrial waste,construction waste and even domestic waste into the ocean and they decided to also clean the river. Now on Saturday, they clean the Mithi River and on Sunday, they focus on the Datar Beach. In order to make a sustainable (可持续的)difference, they must make people understand that they have to stop dumping garbage into any source. “Awareness, recycling and cleaning up are three steps which can bring a change.

For instance, exercise controls weight. For the obese (肥胖的),exercise is very important as it helps reduce body fat by building or preserving muscle mass and improving the body's ability to use calories. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity is, the more calories you burn. When exercise is combined with proper nutrition, it can help control weight and prevent obesity, a major risk factor for many diseases. Besides workouts at the gym, your body can benefit from other forms of exercise such as jogging, fast walking, running, playing games.Regular physical activity can improve your mood and the way you feel about yourself. Need an emotional lift or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at thegym or a quick 30-minute walk can help. Exercise stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Exercise gives you a chance to enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy.Regular physical activity is a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more. Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you haven't exercised for a long time, have chronic health problems, or you have any concerns. 8.How does exercise help the overweight people?A.It reduces their appetite.B.It works muscles and burns calories.C.It contributes to absorbing proper nutrition.D.It contains a wide range of forms functioning differently.9.What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A.Exercise is likely to reduce depression.B.Outdoor activities benefit people's appearance.C.A 30-minute walk every day can help lose weight.D.Exercise can create some relaxing brain chemicals.10.What's the author's suggestion for someone trying a new exercise project? A.Getting the doctor's opinions.B.Setting some fitness goals. C.Clearing up the concerns.D.Having a medical checkup. 11.Which of the following opinions will the author favour?A.Exercise can consume too much time.B.Nutrition and exercise are equally important.C.You can benefit more from outdoor activities.D.Regular exercise can improve one's overall quality of life.In one of my favorite studies on the meaning of life, researchers asked a group of students to write about their “true self”. Another group of students were asked to write about their “everyday self" and a third group of students were asked to write about the campusbookstore. After the writing task, the students were then asked to rate their meaning of life.The researchers were interested in how much detail the participants provided in their various essays. Their assumption (设想)is that the more detailed description one provides about one's true self, the more likely one authentically (真实地)connects with that sense of self. Not surprisingly, for those writing about their everyday selves or about the campus bookstore, the amount of detail didn't have any connection with their sense of meaning of life. However, when people wrote about their true selves, the more detailed the essay was, the more the person was exposed to the meaning of life.To live a meaningful life, then, make sure you are in touch with yourself. If you don't follow your own values and dreams, you are most probably following values set by others. And there is nothing more disappointing in life than living someone else's dream. As some wise-cracker has put it, it is better to be yourself, as everyone else is already taken.Meaningfulness is about connection. While this means that a major part of the meaningfulness in our lives comes from connecting with others through intimate, caring relationships and through being able to contribute to society and those one cares about, you cannot connect with others unless you are first in touch with yourself. Otherwise it is not you who are connecting to others but just an empty shell. Only by knowing what you are, can you start to authentically connect with others.So,set out to write about your true self and who you believe you really are as a person, what are your most important values, and what you yourself would like to pursue and have in life. Then figure out how you could make that “true self” more the self that is realized in your everyday life and work.12.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The process of a study.B.The meaning of life.C.Three groups of students.D.A writing task of evaluating life. 13.What's the finding of the researchers?A.“Everyday self” connects with the campus bookstore.B.More various essays interpret life meaning better.C.The participants with detailed essays have a more meaningful life.D.More “true self” description makes one experience life meaning better.14.What can make you truly connect with others?A.Following values and dreams set by others.B.Being the author of your own life.C.Changing “everyday self” into “true self”.D.Being able to contribute to society. 15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Connect with Life - Dream Is ValuedB.Why Not Pursue Goals You Find Useful?C.Be Yourself — Everyone Else Is TakenD.Why Not Build Caring Relationships with Yourself?二、七选五Born after 1996 on the heels of the millennials (千禧一代),Generation Z (Gen Z)is just entering the workforce. Its members are the first true digital natives, and their ability to adapt to an automating workplace will likely determine their success. “Soft” skills such as intellectual insight, flexibility and creativity will be essential for workers to compete with machines that are growing more technically skilled. ____16____Be an effective strategic communicator. Some employers fear that digital native workers might be too much like the robots they are competing with. ___17___ It’s good communication skills that make them noticeable.

For example, graduates might be trained in Microsoft Excel, but a job might require them to learn how to interpret that data.____19____ Nearly half of the Gen Z said they had experienced job burnout in the past year, according to a survey. _____20_____ Workers are at their best when doing something meaningful to them, said Obed Louissaint, vice president of talent at IBM. To avoid burnout, young people should couple finding purpose with taking proper mental breaks and trying to build healthy habits, Louissaint added.A.Be a continuous learner.B.Try to bring life to your office.C.What will make Gen Z workers stand out?D.Find work that gives you a sense of purpose.E.More industry knowledge also equals more money.F.Here are the “soft” skills Gen Z members need to succeed.G.Half said they were considering a job outside their current industry because of it.三、完形填空I love the quiet of late autumn afternoons. I just look out at the skyline with the white clouds ___21___ across the blue sky like marshmallows (棉花糖).Granny was such an outgoing and optimistic person. ___22___, she lost the ability to walk because of a serious illness last year, and her ___23___ has greatly changed since then. To help her ___24___ the hard times, this autumn I decided to teach her to play the ___25___ and we often sang in our backyard.The small yard was our ___26___ .

(619) 677- 1861 .BAs the threat of Eboa(埃博拉)has left the U .S. and the story has left the headlines, people are still heading over to West Africa to fight the virus that has claimed nearly 10,000 lives . Yanti Turang, a rock band singer-turned-nurse and founder of the nonprofit LearnTolive, is one of them .She is now on the way to Sierra Leone (塞拉利昂)to help save lives .Her mind wanting to be a nurse dated from hurricane Katrina happening in New Orleans 2 yeas ago . Then, Yanti was living there with her band Pocketfoxx . They were on their way home from recording an album in California, when they learned about storm that was about to hit Louisiana's GulfCoast .“I felt, in a way, helpless .”she said .“I felt like I couldn't give or do anything except support people going through it, or the health care workers . And I remember thinking, music’s awesome, I love it, but I think that I need to move on and maybe choose a career where I can actually get in there and help out in a situation like this ." So she packed up her guitar and moved back to her home country, Australia, where she trained in a nursing program for the next two years .Her love of New Orleans drew her back to the state again when she finished the program . However, it wasn't straight to the doctor's office or hospital for Yanti .As she waited for her registration, she worked as a movie nurse . It was on a movie set that Yanti thought of the idea for her nonprofit LearnToLive.She raised $6 .000 in an online campaign .In the last three years, she brought three crews of nurses and aid over to Indonesia and cared for 2,500 patients .

What can we learn about LearnToLive?A . It is based in Sierra Leone .B . It aims to train young nurses .C . It collects money to make movies .D . It provides international medical care .CWhile the arts can’t stop the C0V1D- 19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today , they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos .The arts invite everyone to think in new ways .We often experience works of art as something that’s pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort . Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions (解决).Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges . In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities .Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos . He composed his Symphony No . 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced . The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to Joy(欢乐颂).Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces . The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move moreconfidently in today's competitive and uncertain environment . An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future .28 . What value does art have beyond pleasing people' s senses?A . It brings people inner peace .B . It contributes to problem—solving .C . It reduces the possibility ofcrises .D . It deepens understanding ofmusic .29 . What can we learn about Beethoven’s Symphony No . 9?A .

What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A . Leaving things as they are .B . Making a choice between them .C . Separating them from each other.D . Engaging them in a conversation .31 . Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A . How COVID- 19 changes artB . Essentials of Symphony No . 9C . Moving artfully through crisesD . Joy in the eyes of BeethovenDCarol Dweck, a psychologist at Stanford, conducted a study in twelve different New York City schools . She gave more than 400 fifth graders a relatively easy test consisting of puzzles . After the test, the researcher told the students their score, and provided them with a single line of praise . Half of the kids were praised for their intelligence .“ You must be smart at this, ” the researcher said . The other students were praised for their effort:“ You must have worked really hard .”When Dweck was designing the experiment, she expected the different forms of praise to have a rather modest effect . After all, it was just one sentence . But it soon became clear that the type of compliment given to the fifth graders has a dramatic effect .Then Dweck gave the same fifth graders another test that was designed to be extremely difficult . Both groups made unavoidable mistakes . After the second test, the students were given the option of looking either at the exams of kids who did worse or those who did better. Studentspraised for their intelligence almost always chose to increase their self-esteem (自尊) by comparing themselves with lower-performance students .In contrast, kids praised for their hard work were more interested in the higher-scoring exams .They wanted to understand their mistakes, to learn from their errors, to figure out how to do better.Praising kids for their intelligence encourages them to “look”smart, which means that they shouldn't risk making a mistake . And this fear of failure can actually prevent learning . Unless we experience the unpleasant symptoms of being wrong, directing our attention to the very thing we'd like to ignore, the mind will never revise its models .We’ll keep on making the same mistakes, trading self-improvement for self-esteem .Samuel Beckett had the right attitude: “Ever tried .Ever failed . No matter. Try Again . Fail again . Fail better.”32 . What is the focus of Dweck’s study?A . The development of students’self-esteem .B . The difference in students’ intelligence .C . The effects of different types of praise .D . The students’ performance in puzzle tests .33 . What does the underlined word “compliment” in paragraph 2 mean?A . Puzzles .B . Praise .C . TestsD . Research .34 . Why do students praised for intelligence compare themselves with those who did worse?A . To improve their self-respect .B . To figure out how to do better.C . To understand their own mistakes .D . To push themselves to work harder.35 . What can we infer from the last paragraph?A . Being smart is disadvantageous .B . Learning from mistakes is necessary.C . Trying only leads to more failures .D . Making the same mistakes is unavoidable .第二节(共5 小题;每小题3 分,满分15 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。

In Canada, we have great healthcare system. That means we get our new hips for free.My hip had been hurting me for years before I went to the doctor. Of course, it was free. She referred me to a surgeon, but the earliest appointment was in 10 months. That is what being free gets you. Ten months later, after some free X-rays, the surgeon told me I needed a surgery, which was about an 18-month wait, for some senior citizens had been on the operation list. Another 18 months! I dragged myself out of the surgeon, s office.Walking through the ho spital, I thought about the situation. As the breadwinner of a large family, I couldn’t wait that long, so I had to get to the front line. I was fully aware of what a Canadian should be like (Canadians are usually considered gentle and caring), but this time I really needed to fight for myself. At that very moment, in the shop window of the hospital, I saw a sign which read, “V olunteers Needed.” Suddenly, an idea occurred to me —Iwould get the job. Fortunately, they signed me up immediately because the average age of the volunteers at the shop was 75. They were desperate for some young blood.Every Friday morning, I was at the shop. While seeing the hospital staff, I’d casually ask, “What do you do?” Then I’d tell them, “Well, I’m getting my hip replaced — in 18 months.It’s going to be so great when the pain stops.” Soon, all the staff got to know me. Naturally, in my next appointment, the surgeon recognized me. Moments later, I had a surgery date just weeks away.I had to say it was actually my volunteer ing that got me to the front of the line. And I’m not ashamed of it, for I intend to stick with the volunteering. Also, even when I cheated the system, I did it in a way that benefits society.24. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. She felt rather disappointed.B. She couldn’t walk because of the pain.C. She was too scared to have the surgery.D. She didn’t believe what the surgeon said.25. Why did the writer decide to be a volunteer?A. To donate blood to the hospital.B. To get her new hip free of charge.C. To receive some tiny gifts from others.D. To approach the doctor for an early surgery.26. What did the author think of her cheating?A. It was a shame.B. It was a pride.C. It was beneficial.D. It was a fair deal.27. Which can be the best title for the text?A. How I Got My New HipB. The Doctor Who Saved My LifeC. How to Be a V olunteer in HospitalD. The Problem of Canada Healthcare SystemCA robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the world’s first sociallyadvanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” T he robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry’s classes for several years. One day when addressing Barry, s class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesn’t understand, said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple —it’s a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future.Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West P oint. Bina48’s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.28. What was Bina48’s performance like in class?A. Extraordinary.B. Insignificant.C. Far-reaching.D. Unattractive.29. What does the underlined word “addressing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Dealing with.B. Consulting with.C. Giving a speech to.D. Sending a letter to.30. What can we learn from the passage?A. It was interesting for Bina48 to learn about love.B. It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love.C. Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man.D. Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence.31. What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?A. It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.B. It will be able to promote learning and teaching.C. It will completely take the place of instructors.D. It will be smart enough to control human beings.DStained glass (彩色玻璃) artists create different designs by mak ing cuts on the glass to “score” it and then breaking off the pattern that they want to use in the finished product. The most difficult cut in stained glass is called an inside cut. Basically, it’s a curved (弯曲的) line where you throw away the part inside of the curve. The problem with inside cuts is that the edges of the curve tend to break off when the pieces of scored glass are broken apart.As the artist talked about inside cuts, he said, “The glass will break into pieces if you try to cut too much off a t once. The best way to do an inside cut is to slice off smaller curves piece-by-piece. In fact, it’s not just the best way to do it, but it’s the only way to do it.”How many times do you try to make a big change and cut the entire piece at once? We convince ourselves that we can do this all the time. We’ll commit to transforming our diet overnight or we get inspired to launch a business in a weekend or we finally get motivated to work out and push ourselves to the edge of burning out.Why not approach your goals and dreams like a stained glass artist? Starting by slicing a shallow curve and breaking a small piece off, you cut a slightly deeper curve and break that off until you have your full inside cut. By slowly cutting deeper and deeper curves, you prevent the glass from breaking as it changes shape.Of course, change isn’t easy — no matter how you do it. Slow gains are boring, but if we keep making small improvements, then pretty soon we will end up with a beautiful masterpiece on our hands instead of a bunch of broken pieces.32. Why is an inside cut believed to be most difficult?A. It needs a one-and-only design.B. It calls for nothing but inspiration.C. The edges of the curve break easily.D. The glass inside the curve is easily broken.33. What mistakes are easily made according to paragraph 3?A. Being too eager to make improvements.B. Being too worried about the final outcome.C. Trying to make a complete change all at once.D. Trying to focus on progress instead of achievements.34. What does the author suggest by saying “slicing a shallow curve”?A.
