I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for
the application form.
The application form full of pictures of male explores arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate（极限的）challenge?”made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.
Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.
I had revealed（显示）my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.
I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined —more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.
24. How did the author react on seeing the advertisement?
A. She got cross.
B. She was determined.
C. She got frightened.
D. She was hesitating.
25. What did the organizers view as the most important in the selection of new hands?
A. Personal quality.
B. Individual-ability.
C. Spirit of teamwork.
D. Courage to challenge.
26. What does the auther think of women’s showing weakness?
A. Beneficial.
B. Shameful.
C. Merciful.
D. Disturbing.
27. What’s the intention of the author in writing this passage?
A. To inspire us to prepare for our future goal.
B. To advise women how to turn to others.
C. To make suggestions to her team members.
D. To encourage people to explore the unknown.
C
We’ve heard of robots and AI（Artificial Intelligence）taking human jobs, but I bet mayors（市长）don’t really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a T okyo district was clear proof of that.
AI can’t leg ally nm for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, T okyo, intended to maximize the use
of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign （竞选运动）as “AI Mayor”. Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.
“For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election,” human candidate Michihito Matsuda announc ed on Twitter. “Artificial Intelligence will change Toma City. With the birth of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics.”
The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out （大声鸣响）promises of an AI utopia （乌托邦）and asking for support.
Some people called Michihito Matsuda’s campaign a stunt （噱头）, as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better choice.
28. What’s the advantage of the AI mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?
A. Maximizing the use of AI.
B. Replacing human officials.
C. Creating balanced policies.
D. Bringing him beneficial effects.
29. How will AI run for the mayor?
A. It will abolish many old policies.
B. It will ask for support on the Internet.
C. It will make public speeches, dressed like a human.
D. It will compete similarly to human competitors.
30. What’s the citizens’ attitude toward Michihito Matsuda’s campaign?
A. They believe AI will win.
B. All consider it to be tricky.
C. It is supposed to be a failure definitely.
D. Some think it’s worthy of expectation.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. AI Runs for the Mayor.
B. The Advantages of AI.
C. AI Replaces Human in Management.
D. The Patterns of AI Management.

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also
operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage（传统）through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.
32. What’s the function of food mentioned in the article?
A. To help motivate homesickness.
B. To show national identity.
C. To reflect a country’s history.
D. To show a community’s superiority.
33. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The specific traditional food.
B. The national culture.
C. A traditional expression of food.
D. The old-fashioned taste.
34. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurant?
A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C. To make the dishes popular among customers.
D. To present their own food culture in a new way.
35. What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures?
A. Negative.
B. Balanced.
C. Unfair.
D. Unchangeable.

Can creativity be taught? That’s a question without a simple yes or no answer. Creativity may not be able to be taught directly, but what you can get better at is frequently targeting at the circumstances of life which bring
up the greatest chances for true creative expression. 36 , but more like something which manifests （显现）itself inside those who learn to develop it and create the right conditions for it.
Limit your selection of tools to only the most vital. 37 . You’ll be sharper than someone who merely fights with a larger set of tools.

Don’t listen to feedback （反馈）and keep following your own path. The problem of asking for feedback is that the feedback will be given according to the person’s past experience. Others will unconsciously push you in a direction that they see as best. 39 . Ju st don’t let criticism （even the constructing type）destroy your creativity during the creative process.
40 . Routines are positive if they strengthen a healthy creative consciousness and negative if they destroy that. The key is to discover a creative routine that puts you in a more creative mindset.
