Kevin, diagnosed with Dyslexia（读写困难症）,rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “Yes,”“No,”or“Maybe,”in response to questions. He
always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.
In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood—a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs—and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.
At the end of the course,Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences—Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot-dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur（创业）story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all-time high.
The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot-dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his sc hool’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.
All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.
24.What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?
A.To improve their test scores.
B. To be beneficial to the local area.
C. To create a hot-dog business.
D. To teach in low-income areas.

A. Scared.
B. Grateful.
C. Touched.
D. Confident.
26. What does the underlined word“kindle” probably mean?

B. Share.
C. Express.
D. Inspire.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. From Hopeless Youth to Business Leader
B. Turning Failure into Success
C. Growing Wealthy through Hard Work
D. On the Road to Recovery

Time to end loneliness
US author Henry Rollins once wrote: “Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.” Indeed, in the eyes of artists, loneliness never seems to go out of style. There are paintings that portray loneliness, songs that are inspired by loneliness, and many works of literature that center around this theme.
In the eyes of UK economist Rachel Reeves, however, loneliness is far from romantic. Instead, it’s a “giant evil” that’s become a serious problem in the country. So just how serious is it? On Jan 17, UK Prime Minister Theresa May appointed politician Tracey Crouch as the country’s very first “Minister for Loneliness”. Her job is to address the loneliness that the country’s been feeling — a problem which, according to UK government research, is affecting more than 9 million people in the country, and is more harmful to one’s physical and mental health than smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
And the problem hasn’t just appeared recently. Back in 2014, the UK was given the title of th e “loneliness capital of Europe” by The Telegraph. A survey carried out by the newspaper found that British people were less likely to get to know their neighbors or build strong relationships with people than those from other European countries.
“There is something British about wanting to deal with problems yourself,” Christian Guy, director of the Centre for Social Justice think-tank (智囊团), told The Telegraph.
But this doesn’t mean that the problem only affects Britons. In fact, we’re all suffering from loneliness now more than ever, in spite of most of the world now having access to the internet, which has enabled us to be more connected than ever.
What we need, according to Kim Leadbetter, sister of the late UK politician Jo Cox, is to have “proper human connections”.
“Our lives nowadays are so busy. We spend the vast majority of our time on our phones, on our laptops. We need to press pause on that and actually sit down and speak to human beings,” Leadbetter said at an event last year.
But the first steps toward fighting this problem are to accept its existence and not be ashamed or intimidated by it. After all, without loneliness, many beautiful paintings, songs, and literary works wouldn’t even exist. And “evil” or not, being lonely is simply part of the experience of being human.
28. What can we learn about the UK’s loneliness problem?
A. The government is working to solve the problem.
B. More than half of British people suffer from loneliness.
C. The UK became the loneliest country in the world in 2014.
D. British people communicate less with their neighbors than ever.
29. According to the text, social loneliness _______.
A. does more harm mentally than physically
B. didn’t attract the public’s attention until rece ntly
C. is mainly caused by the wide use of the internet
D. has become a problem worldwide
30. What does Leadbetter suggest doing to cope with loneliness?
A. Making more phone calls to our friends.
B. Stopping the use of electronic products.
C. Interacting with the people around us face to face more often.
D. Accepting its existence calmly.
31.Which of the following would the author probably agree with?
A. Loneliness is a giant evil of society.
B. Only artists can appreciate the beauty of loneliness.
C. Loneliness is just a normal part of our life.
D. It is hard to find a solution to social loneliness.
D
Most autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate （导航）by using 3-D maps marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few
places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) now have developed a new navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.
The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor（激光感应器）, to measure how close it is to the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test -drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.
This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles, says Ort. The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads. “Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions,” says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “Since laser sensors don’t work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather.”
32.What may be a problem for most driverless cars?
A. They run in limited areas.
B. Their maps are out-dated.
C. Their guides are unreliable.
D. They fail in test-driving.
33. What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?
A. It includes accurate maps.
B. It works by detecting the road.
C. It removes in-road obstacles.
D. It features a smart phone app.
34. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A. To confirm the test-drive results.
B. To recognize scientists’ achievements.
C. To show the creativity of driverless cars.
D. To indicate further research areas.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.
B. Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.
C. A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive remote roads.
D. Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions

October 9 is World Post Day. On this day each year, the establishment of the Universal Postal Union in 1874 is celebrated. It’s also an occasion to promote letter writing. With electronic communication being the most popular way to stay in touch, letter writing is a dying art. ___36___ A serious writer of letters makes an effort that a person sending an email does not. It’s a civilized act that is deeply respectful of the recipient(接受者).
___37___ About a male character in her novel Villette, Charlotte Brontë wrote that his letter to his beloved was itself an expression of love —“he sat down and took a pen and paper, because he loved Lucy and had much to say to her, because he was faithful and thoughtful, because he was tender(温柔的) and tr ue.”
Brontë was writing in the 1850s. Communications were becoming modern, but they were nothing like today’s. ___38___ If people moved to another land, they might never be heard from again.
To receive a letter, therefore, was a special event. Between family and friends, it was a sign of love and affection.
___39___ Imagine that your best friend had gone to study in another country. To have the postman give you a letter from that person would make that day a very special day indeed. Perhaps all of you friends would gather to hear the news from him or her from the other side of the world.
Perhaps we should try to recover letter writing. ___40___ Find some beautiful paper, a fine pen and compose your most beautiful Chinese or English letter. Your friend will appreciate it, and with any luck, shortly after, you’ll receive a letter back.
A.However, such an art has a long history.
B.It was also a joyful event to receive a letter.
C.However, letters don’t deserve to die.
D.Why not write and send a friend a letter?
E.It can be a treat to receive a letter from your family.
F.This is especially the case with letters sent to your close friends or beloved
ones.
G.If people were separated from each other, there could be silence between them
for years.

Several years ago, I worked at a circus. One day, when I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 41 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was 42 that they could, at any time, break free, 43 strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the 44 for this.
He said, “When they were very young we used the 45 size of rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can 46 hold them, so they never try.”
Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 47 once before? Do you often tell yourself “I cannot dance” or “I’m not 48 at math”?
These are 49 of self-limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re 50 for them.
A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math has 51 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 52 you. The cool thing is that because you create the 53 you can choose to change it!
First, 54 it with “I’m good at math”. Once you change your 55 , your subconsciousness(潜意识)will make this come true by driving you to 56 . That might be to take a math course or go online 57 help and so on. Gradually you’ll really
see your math skills are 58 .
This is such a simple process that you can 59 it tod ay. Don’t be like the poor elephants and make your life 60 at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.

Dear John,
I am writing to reply to your email regarding the Chinese idiom story competition you are going to participate in. It would be my great pleasure to help you prepare for the contest.
I would like to offer some suggestions before we meet. Firstly, as there are a great number of idioms to choose from, I recommend the most commonly used ones that come from interesting stories. Additionally, many idioms found roots in ancient myths or historical facts. Thus, I advise fully researching their meanings and origins to gain an instructive and fascinating insight into the cultural history of China. In this way, your storytelling will be highly impressive and appealing.
I hope the suggestions above can be of some help to you. Could you please tell me when and where you would like to meet? I look forward to further discussion with you.
Yours,
Li Hua。
