An 89­year­old man,Manfred Steiner, has reached a goal he spent 20 years working

toward and nearly a lifetime thinking about: earning his Ph. D. And now he is a

physicist.

Steiner values this degree becau it is what he always wanted and becau he

overcame health problems that could have affected his studies. “But I made it, and

this was the most satisfactory point in my life, to finish it,” he said.

When he was young, Steiner wanted to become a physicist after reading about Albert

Einstein. But his mother and uncle persuaded him that studying medicine would be a

better choice. He earned his medical degree in 1955 and moved to the US soon after.

Steiner studied hematology(血液学) at Tufts University and biochemistry at the

Massachutts Institute of Technology. He became a full professor and led the

hematology department at Brown's medical school from 1985 to 1994. Steiner helped

establish a rearch program in hematology at the University of North Carolina. He

directed that program until he retired from medicine in 2000.

Steiner found medical rearch pleasing, but it was not quite the same as his

interest in physics. “It was something like a wish that was never fulfilled, that

always stuck in the back of my head,” he said. At age 70, he started taking

undergraduate class.

Physics professor Brad Marston was surprid when Steiner entered his quantum

mechanics class. But he became Steiner's advir for his disrtation(学位论文) after

realizing how rious Steiner was about the subject and how hard he worked. “He has

written many papers in medical science, more papers than I've written in physics,”

Marston said. “One thing that's really true about Manfred is that he perveres.”

After the university published a story about Steiner on its website, people across

the US contacted him to ask for advice on how to go after their dreams later in life.

His advice is: Do what you love to do.

( )24. Why did Steiner value his degree in physics?

A. Becau it solved his health problems.

B. Becau it was his long­pursued dream.

C. Becau it met his mother's expectation.

D. Becau it was inspired by Albert Einstein.

( )25. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. Steiner's contributions to teaching.

B. Steiner's rearches after retirement.

C. Steiner's achievements in hematology.

D. Steiner's performances at Tufts University.

( )26. What impresd Professor Marston most about Steiner?

A. His taking undergraduate class at 70.

B. His writing more papers in physics.

C. His sticking to becoming a physicist.

D. His being a role model for Americans.

( )27. Which of the following can best describe Steiner?

A. Active and open­minded. B. Enthusiastic and easy­going.

C. Intelligent and warm­hearted. D. Perverant and hard­working.

C

The short film relead by Pixar in 2016, won the 89th Academy Award for

Piper,

Best Animated(动画的) Short film. was written and directed by Alan

Piper

Barillaro,previously working in the animation department. It's a wonder that he had

the fortune to win Oscar for his first film.

The short film follows a baby bird named Piper, as she learns and overcomes her

fears of finding food at the afront. Piper is encouraged to peck(啄) at the sand

beach but gets wet through with water from a wave. Discouraged by the terrible wave,

she hopes to get food from her mother but fails. After gathering up the courage again,

she meets a hermit crab(寄居蟹) who shows her not to be scared of the ocean but to

embrace it. Finally, she discovers the cret of the ocean and feeds herlf even her

family. It's a story about facing challenges and not being discouraged by failure.

Like Piper, we can always find solutions and come out stronger than ever before.

Somehow Pixar manages to fit all of the into a five­minute­long short film,

without using any spoken language and entirely by animation. Movements and personified

facial expressions are what drive this story in this film. Much like the nature

documentary, the continuous pulling of the shallow focus adds the n of realism.

The clean and clear animation allows for even the slightest micro­expressions to be

picked up by the audience. And the music is consistent with Piper's emotions, making

the audience feel the same way.

This film and lots of others by Pixar make us laugh and cry all the time. By fitting

a simple story with simple characters, we are led through challenges to a satisfying

conclusion for our characters. It's one of the best short films in a long time.

( )28. What is the storyline of the short film?

A. A mother instructs her child to find food.

B. A bird overcomes fears and grows independent.

C. A bird family tries to adapt to life at the afront.

D. A sand beach offers food to the birds living nearby.

( )29. What techniques are ud in the short film?

A. Animation and music. B. Sound and virtual scenes.

C. Movements and speeches. D. Clear pictures and vivid lines.

( )30. What's the author's attitude towards the short film?

A. Indifferent. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Negative.

( )31. What is this text?

A. A documentary. B. A review. C. A story. D. An essay.

When it comes to team asmbly, people who are both trustworthy and competent are

the most sought after. However, tho who are friendly and trustworthy are more likely

to be lected than tho who are known for just their skill competence and personal

reputation, according to a new rearch from Binghamton University.

“We assume that people are lected due to their knowledge, skills and abilities.

However, this rearch suggests that people may often get picked becau team members

feel comfortable with them,” said Cynthia Maupin, assistant professor in Binghamton

University's School of Management. “People may be willing to sacrifice a bit in terms

of performance in order to have a really positive team experience.”

Maupin and her colleagues focud on a group of MBA students to conduct their study.

Students were randomly assigned to different teams to carry out class projects. Toward

the end of the mester, they were asked to form their own teams and evaluate why they

lected each member.

“To find out how the students signaled to others that they might be someone who

would be good to team up with in the future, we studied their u of either challenging

or supportive voice,” Maupin said.

•Challenging voice: Communicating in a way that challenges the prent situation

and is focud on new ideas and efficiency.

•Supportive voice: Communicating in a way that strengthens social ties and trust.

The rearchers found that students who exhibited both voices were the most in

­demand people when it came to asmbling teams. However, students who only ud

supportive voice to exhibit their friendliness and trustworthiness were more sought

after than tho who only signaled their competence through the u of challenging

voice.

Maupin said the findings have major implications for the workplace. “People

should realize the way they speak up can have a strong effect on informal teaming up

at a later point and that supportive voice helps establish harmonious relationships

and a n of trust amongst individuals.”

( )32. Who are preferred as team members?

A. Tho easy to get along with.

B. Tho with skill competence.

C. Tho willing to make sacrifices.

D. Tho with good personal reputation.

( )33. What does the underlined word “signaled” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Displayed. B. Promid. C. Replied. D. Gestured.

( )34. What does Maupin think of the findings?

A. They make people more supportive.

B. They help improve work competence.

C. They make n for better team asmbly.

D. They have strong effects on formal teaming up.

( )35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. The Secret of Communication

B. The Importance of Competence

C. Challenging Voice or Supportive Voice

D. Competent Teammates or Friendly Teammates

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was young, I lived in a small village in Melaka. The spirit of neighborliness

was very strong then. All of us were quite poor by today's standards but we got by.

However, one family which could be considered as poor as a church mou was the Lim

family living in the bicycle shop just opposite our hou.

Mr. Lim, the shop owner, had twelve children. The joke amongst the neighbors was

that he was aiming to form a football team among his children. However, riously

speaking, it was no joke for him trying to feed his growing children daily. My family

was relatively better off in the village and my father was the headman. My mother was

a kind­hearted soul. She would bring over whatever food we could spare to our neighbors.

I remember one particular year when times were very hard. The economy was doing

very badly. For many people, three meals a day was a luxury let alone buying a new

bicycle. Even my family had to make do with two meals a day. One day, I noticed my

mother looking troubled. She had learned that the Lim family had not been eating for

the past two days. There and then, she decided to sacrifice part of our meals to the

family. Despite my protest that we too were hungry, she kept on doing the kind act

from then on. Fortunately, the troubled situation did not last long, and the children

in our family returned to our three meals a day again.

As time went on, I noticed Mr. Lim grow cheerful. The number of customers at his

shop had incread steadily. Business at his shop took off like a rocket as bicycles

were very uful and popular for transport then.

However, it was at this time that my father's business took a turn for the wor.

My father was a grocery owner and he trusted many people readily. One day, his nior

assistant ran off with almost all the shop's earnings. My father had to run around,

trying to make up for the loss.

During that time, his health was also worning. One night, my father suddenly

fainted, putting the whole hou totally in chaos. My mother tried veral times to

wake him up but failed. We children were all frightened and cried loudly.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Hearing our cries, Mr. Lim rushed to help.

One possible version：

Dear fellow students,

A campaign is being launched to beautify our city and create a comfortable

environment. We students are expected to take an active part in it.

We can start from the very little things around us, like picking up waste in the

street, wiping out unwanted advertiments, obrving traffic rules and so on. Besides,

it's also a good idea for us to give out booklets to advocate civilized behavior.

Every little bit matters. Let's work together to make our city more beautiful.

One possible version：

Hearingourcries, MrLimrushedtohelp

. . The moment he figured out the emergency,

Mr. Lim quickly drove my father to the nearest hospital. My father was brought into

surgery. Mr. Lim paid the medical bill and kept us company all night long, constantly

comforting us. Luckily, the operation turned out a success. While my father was in

hospital, Mr. Lim often visited us with some necessities. To relieve my mother's burden,

he even drove us to school every day.

Finally, myfatherrecoveredwithpilesofbillstopay

. Again Mr. Lim came to our aid.

He lent us some money and arranged for my father to work in his shop to get some earnings.

Meanwhile, he financed the education for me and my siblings. Whenever my parents

thanked him for his help, he just simply said that our kindness derved it. An old

saying goes that a near neighbor is better than a distant cousin. I felt blesd to

live in such a good neighborhood.

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a group of nature lovers who are fighting

climate change. The leader of the group, John, took a few minutes to sit down and talk

to me about their projects. John told me that he started the group with his wife Eliza.

A year later they had grown to 10 people and now, four years later, they have 50

volunteers. John said that they planted around 100 trees last week alone. Their group

focus on fixing the places where trees have been cut down by people. John stresd

that humans need the trees as much as the animals do and that people tend to forget

that trees aren't just materials to ll for profit. We also need them to breathe.

I was able to hear more about Eliza, who has actually stopped doing the planting with

them for the past year. Eliza still travels with them, but she's started a parate

group called “The Knowing Tree”. John described the group as one to inform children

about the importance of keeping our natural world in a good condition. It's truly

inspiring.
