I met Luis, an exchange student from Mexico, and soon we became friends. Language was no barrier as he could speak English. If his three sisters, who spoke little English, hadn’t visited us, we might have been the best friends.
At that time, I got along well with him and determined to pay a visit to his home and make a good impression on his family. The only problem was that I was too busy with my classes to take a Spanish class. Instead, I decided to take the Spanish-English cognate (同根词) shortcut. I thought to myself, “They are interrelated, and Spanish is not so difficult.” I discovered I could add a vowel(元音)to the end of many English words. Instantly, it became Spanish. Thus “active” was “activo”; “habit” was “habito”; “abrupt” was “abrupto”.
On a Saturday night, I was invited to dinner at Luis’s apartment when his sisters arrived. I thought the dinner went well since the three girls kept giving me friendly smiles. However, we kept silent, and no one seemed to break the ice. Then Luis excused himself from the table.
With three pairs of eyes focused on me, I was forced to speak. Since I didn’t know much about Spanish, I had to be careful to say anything. I chose to play it safe by simply praising the fine meal they’d made. “Me gusta el dinero,” I said, smiling at each girl in return. They unhappily stared at me as Luis re-entered the room. Confusedly, he asked, “What did you do?” I just praised your sisters for this delicious dinner,” I replied weakly, suddenly questio ning my limited Spanish vocabulary. Finally, the three girls told me that “gusta el dinero” means “like money”.
That night really left me in an awkward state. I couldn’t say that ended my friendship with Luis, but things were never quite the same between us after the fateful night. I learned a valuable lesson—it was always the shortcuts that got me into trouble.
24. What does the author think of Spanish and English?
A．They are equally difficult. B．Their spellings are the same.
C．There is a link between them. D．They have nothing in common.
25. What does the underlined phrase “play it safe” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Have fun. B．Avoid running a risk.
C．Play a trick. D．Turn to somebody for help.
26. Which word best describes the author’s Saturday night?
A．Embarrassing. B．Dangerous. C．Harmonious. D．Pleasant.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Decision On Fate B．A Common Mistake
C．A Chance Encounter D．A Shortcut To Disaster
Researchers following tiger sharks off the southern coast of Belize couldn’t believe their eyes when they recently caught a different kind of fish. It turned out to be a Greenland shark, which is typically found in the Arctic and can live to be about 400 years old.
The team of scientists thought the shark was dead when they finally pulled it to the surface. Unlike the tiger sharks they saw, this particular shark had black, worn-looking skin and pale blue eyes. Devanshi Kasana, a Ph.D. candidate at the Florida International University’s Predator Ecology & Conservation Lab, said the shark looked “really old”.
There was no doubt that the discovery was unexpected. Kasana said, “As soon as it entered our field of vision, we saw a black figure that was getting bigger and bigger. When it came to the surface, none of the crew with all of their combined fishing experience had seen anything like that.” She said the discovery was especially exciting. She wondered how on earth these sharks, which were thought to mainly exist in the Arctic, could be found in the tropics as well.
Greenland sharks can be several hundred years old. The reason for their long life may have something to do with their speed of growth, which is very slow. Greenland sharks grow approximately one-third of an inch per year and can grow to more than 20 feet in length. And researchers believe the sharks don’t reach sexual maturity until sometime after the first 100 years of their life.
According to Kasana, some scientists have theorized that the Greenland sharks can be found across the globe, if one knows where to look. They love cold water, which is why they’re found in the Arctic. However, they’ve also been discovered as far south as off the coast of Georgia, thousands of feet beneath the ocean surface.
The theory is that the closer the sharks are to the equator, the deeper researchers have to go to find them. And they go deep over 7,000 feet down, according to NOAA.
28. What can we learn about the caught Greenland shark?
A．It is 400 years old. B．It looks just like a tiger.
C．It has unique appearance. D．It only lives near the Arctic.
29. What does Kasana think of the discovery?
A．Doubtful and fearful. B．Common and expected.
C．Exciting and threatening. D．Surprising and confusing.
30. What mainly contributes to Greenland sharks’ long life?
A．The early maturity. B．The mild environment.
C．The length of their bodies. D．The slow pace of their development. 31. What is the text mainly about?
A．The longest-living shark in the world.
B．The oldest fish living near the equator.
C．A Greenland shark appearing in Belize.
D．A theory about the long life of wild fish.
“Fifty years ago, astronauts travelled to space in government-funded rockets designed, built and maintained by NASA. But today, the ‘astronauts’ are very often billionaires having a journey into low orbit on a rocket that they paid for themselves. This change feels like a giant leap, but it makes sense,” says Laura Seward Forczyk, founder of Astralytical, a space consulting company. She believes more and more of modern civilization relies on space.
Huge numbers of satellites orbit the planet, connecting us to everything from mobile phones to GPS, and there is a large sum of money in maintaining those systems. Forczyk thinks this doesn’t get a lot of headlines typically, but there are profitable reasons why private companies want to go into space.
The private commercial companies learn more about putting rockets and satellites into space to help NASA with the missions while NASA increases its management and guidance of them. That’s important because NASA itself has become financially limited. From its 1966 peak, when spending on the space race took up more than four percent of the US government’s budget, that spending is now less than half percent of the country’s total budget.
“NASA is using commercial co mpanies to build a lot of hardware to perform those services of taking scientific payloads (载量) to the surface of the moon,” says Forczyk. “The hope is that people will follow —possibly by 2025, but more realistically by 2030. If you’re wondering why we’r e going back to the moon — after all, mankind has already walked on its surface — the answer is that we explored only part of it.” “We know a lot more, but we also know so very little,” adds Forczyk. She wants to go back with people to learn more. But more importantly, she hopes and believes people can go to live and work there one day.
The universe is so big that we can’t stop exploring it. Some even see the moon as an eventual staging area for human exploration of deep space. Mars is regarded as the next stepping-off point towards the final frontier, though whether we’ll get there in our lifetime is another question.
32. What is the change of the American space travel today?
A．It needs billions of government funds.
B．All astronauts should pay for it themselves.
C．It requires astronauts to carry mobile phones.
D．The rich can experience it at their own expense.
33. What is the relationship between NASA and the private commercial companies?
A．Competitive. B．Interdependent.
C．Unrelated. D．Mistrustful.
34. What is Forczyk’s attitude to the moon exploration?
A．Confident. B．Curious. C．Negative. D．Worried.
35. What does the last paragraph want to convey?
A．There is no limit to space exploration.
B．The moon is the final exploration area.
C．Humans will cease exploring deep space.
D．It is absolutely impossible to get to Mars.
Skills you need for future work
Creativity
36 Robots currently can’t compete with humans on creativity. The future workplace is going to demand new ways of thinking, and human creativity will be the key to it.
Emotional intelligence (EQ)
You exhibit high emotional intelligence if you have empathy (同感) and work well with others. A machine can’t easily replace a human’s ability to connect with another human being. 37
Critical thinking
A person with critical thinking skills can suggest innovative solutions and ideas and solve complex problems using reasoning and logic. 38 After observing, someone who is a strong analytical thinker will rely on logical reasoning rather than emotion, collect the pros and cons (利与弊) of a situation and be open-minded to the best possible solution.
Technology skills
The 4th industrial revolution (革命) is fueled by technological innovations. This means that everyone will need a certain level of comfort around technology. 39 This requires some technical skills. Everyone needs to be able to understand the potential impact of new technologies on their industry, business, and job.
40
Due to the speed of change in the future workplace, people will have to be agile (机敏的) and able to embrace and celebrate change. Not only will our brains need to be flexible, but we’ll also need to be adaptable as we are required to adjust to shifting workplaces, expectations, and skill sets. A skill needed for the future will be the ability to see change as a chance to grow.

Anthony was born in a beautiful town. The local environment was particularly good and the people were caring and attached importance to hygiene (卫生). In the blink of an eye, Anthony was in high school. For more than a decade, he developed the habit as the other people in the town.
Then he went on to university. He got along with his classmates because he had a kind heart and was always ready to help others. He even set up an organization aimed at guiding people to pay attention to the hygiene in the campus. He received an award from the school for this.
After graduating from university, Anthony came to New York to attend an interview for a job. He wanted to work for a software design company. But it would be difficult for him because the company was very famous and there were many people going for the interview. But Anthony did not feel discouraged and wanted to give it a try. He prepared a lot in advance, including the history, the culture and the current situation of the company.
The day of the interview came quickly. As he had expected, there were many interviewees. He was told that there were only 10 positions available, but he still felt confident. The interviewees were all waiting on the ground floor and the office where the interview took place was located on the third floor. The interviewees went to the interview in turn. One by one, they went upstairs but came down quickly. Anthony thought to himself that the interviews were too fast and felt worried.
Finally it was Anthony’s turn. He stood up and headed upstairs. At the corner of the second floor stairs were an empty bucket and two mops (拖把). One of them was dry and the other one was wet. The wet one was on the floor, slowly dripping (滴落) down with dirty water.
