17、 handmade items,in 2013.All of them were made by people with disabilities or serious diseases in remote areas in China.The 75-year-old woman was formerly a medical practitioner(執(zhí)業(yè)醫(yī)師）。Before settling down in Chengdu 10 years ago,Rachael had spent more than 40 years working in 15 different countries i

18、n Asia and Africa,providing medical services and training local physicians.While living in the Tibet Autonomous Region,she found that many patients were too poor to have their illnesses treated.While many of them were skilled in making traditional crafts,they had no market for their handmade items.F

19、or these people,the most important thing is to help them integrate(融入）into society, Rachael thought.Thats not necessarily something the government can do.Its up to all of us to give them a sense of confidence and self-respect.That inspired Rachael to open a store to help these disadvantaged people b

20、ring their crafts to the market so that they could make money and receive effective treatment.She spent nearly all of her life savings collecting items from them and making other necessary preparations.More than 700 people have benefited from Rachaels initiative(融入），although she has to battle for ye

21、ars to make ends meet with the very limited market,which remains her biggest challenge. Despite financial pressures,she has continued to expand her market by encouraging her overseas friends to buy the products as home decorations or gifts.She collects feedback from customers and gives the craftsmen

22、 suggestions on how to improve their items.To help them pick up professional skills,Rachael also invites them to participate in training courses.As a world traveler,Rachael has no plans for her next destination.At the moment,she will continue to try her best to keep the shop afloat to help more peop

23、le get through their hard times.“Mother Teresas words,I cannot change the world,but I can change the world of one person,have always been my motto.Anytime we can help one person;it makes life worthwhile,even if it is not the world,”she said.24.Which of the following statements about Rachael Pinniger

27、CA ten-year-old sperm whale(抹香鯨）was found dead on a beach in Scotland.A necropsy(尸檢） revealed that nearly 100 kilograms of plastic and other trash had formed clumps(硬塊）in its digestive system.The tragedy quickly made headlines.Why would a top predator in the ocean eat gloves,rope, and plastic cups?C

28、onventional wisdom suggests that marine animals eat plastic because it is there and they dont know any better.It is true that plastic may smell like food to some of them.But that doesnt explain why only certain types of whales-deep-diving toothed whales,such as sperm whales and pilot whales-turn up

29、dead on beaches with stomachs full of plastic.Its possible,says Savoca,that plastic trash sounds like food to toothed whales.These specieshunt deep in the ocean,sometimes nearly 500 meters below the surface,where its pitch black(漆黑）。 They use echolocation(回聲定位）to hunt for food,typically squid(烏賊）。By

30、 contrast,baleen whales(須鯨），including humpbacks and blue whales,have natural filters(過(guò)濾器）for their food.Baleen,the brush-like filter-feeding system they have in place of teeth,as well as their narrow throats,keeping them from swallowing anything much larger than the krill(磷蝦群）that forms the basis of

31、 their diet.That could help explain why baleen whales are not ending up with plastic filled stomachs.Fifty years ago,there was almost no plastic in the ocean.The lifespan of a large whale can betwice that long.In the lifetime of a single whale,we went from an ocean with no plastic to hundreds of tho

32、usands of tons of it.Plastic comes on top of other factors affecting life in the ocean-climate change,overfishing,shipping traffic,and noise pollution.its a real shame because their lives are challenging enough even without the additional pressure we put onto them,says Savoca.28.What does Paragraph

33、2 mainly talk about?A.That plastic smells like food to toothed whales.B.That marine animals started to eat plastic decades ago.C.That a number of toothed whales are found dead on beaches every year.D.That conventional wisdom about why marine animals eat plastic doesnt apply to all whales.29.Which of

34、 the following statements DOESNT explain why toothed whales are more easily harmed by plastic pollution than baleen whales?A.They dont feed on krill.B.They live in the dark depths of the ocean.C.They are not born with brush-like filter-feeding systems.D.They dont determine the location of their food

35、 with their eyes.30.What does the author want to emphasize in the last paragraph?A.Whales have a longer lifespan than humans.B.Plastic has a negative effect on climate change.C.Great changes have taken place in the ocean in the past 50 years.D.Plastic pollution has worsened already serious issues af

36、fecting marine life.31.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Different diets,different fatesB.Silent killers in the oceanC.Plastic trash in-the oceanD.Saving whalesDHit Pause on GONE WITH THE WINDCongratulations to WarnerMedia on the launch of HBO Max.As an HBO subscriber,I a

37、mexcited about the width of programs and films offered on the platform.While I am sure the streaming service will continue to improve with time:Please consider removing Gone With the Wind from your library of films.As a filmmaker,I get that movies are often brief descriptions of moments in history.T

38、hey reflect not only the attitudes and opinions of those involved in their creation,but also those of the present culture.As such,even the most well-intentioned films can fall short in how they representmarginalized(邊緣化的）communities.Gone With the Wind,however,has its own unique problem.It does not j

39、ustfall shortwith regard to representation.It is a film that glorifies(美化）the American South during the Civil War.It is a film that,when it is not ignoring the horrors of slavery,pauses only to continue some of the most painful stereotypes(刻板印象）of people of colour.It is a film that romanticizes the

40、Confederacy in a way that continues to give legitimacy(合法性）to the notion that the secessionist movement(分離運(yùn)動(dòng)）is something better or more noble than what it was.And it continues to give cover to those who falsely claim that clinging to the traditional imagine of the plantation era is a matter ofherit

41、age,not hate.Let me be clear:I would just ask,after a period of time has passed,that the film be re-introduced to the HBO Max platform along with other films that give a complete picture of what slavery and the Confederacy truly were.Or,perhaps it could be paired with conversations about narratives

42、and why it is important to have many voices sharing stories from different perspectives rather than merely those strengthening the views of the present culture.Currently,there is not even a warning before the film.I know taking down a film-particularly a classic Hollywood film-seems like a big reque

43、st.But it is not nearly as big a demand as when your children ask whether they can join protests in the streets against racism,or when they come to you wanting to know what you did to make the world a better place.I plan on keeping my subscription to HBO Max.But I hope that those in decision-makingp

44、ositions at WarnerMedia can understand how painful it is to scroll through the platforms library and see it promote one film in particular that has helped to continue the racism that is causing angry and sad Americans to take to the streets.32.Which of the following statements about HBO Max is NOT t

45、rue?A.It was a newly launched streaming platform.B.It is free to all internet users in the United States.C.It is a streaming platform supported by WarnerMedia.D.It features a wide range of TV programs and hit films.33.According to the author,the main problem with Gone With the Wind lies in the fact

46、that the filmA.ignores the issue of slavery to a large degreeB.shows hate crimes in 19th-century AmericaC.tells the dark history of the American Civil WarD.questions the legitimacy of the secessionist movement34.What does the underlined wordnarrativesin Paragraph 4 mean?A.Cultures B.Pictures C.Stori

47、es D.Events35.According to the author,Gone With the Wind could be reintroduced to the platform if.A.more children join protest against racismB.warnings are issued before the movieC.more films about marginalized communities are availableD.different voices about the films plot are heard by the public第

49、very profession will require adaptability and flexibility.Say you are an accountant.Your IQ gets you through the examinations to become qualified.Your EQ helps your connect with an interviewer,land a job,and develop relationships with clients and colleagues.37All three quotients are somewhat complem

50、entary,since they all help you solve problems and therefore adapt.An ideal candidate possesses all three,but not everyone does.38 While there is no definite method of measuring adaptability like an IQ test,companies are changing their recruitment(招聘）processes to help identify people who may be high

51、in it.Natalie Fratto,a vice-president at Goldman Sachs,suggests three ways AQ might show in potential candidates:if they can picture possible versions of the future by askingwhat if questions;if they can unlearn information to challenge presumptions;and if they enjoy exploration or seeking out new e

52、xperiences.39First,limit distractions and learn to focus so that you can determine what adaptations to make.Second,ask uncomfortable questions to develop courage and normalize fear. Third,be curious about things that fascinate you by having more conversations rather than Googling the answer,somethin

54、ect expertise.A.AQ is now increasingly being sought at the hiring level.B.One good thing about AQ is that experts say you can work to develop it.C.We may not all be comfortable with the pace of change-but we can prepare.D.This is because an algorithm(算法）can do these tasks faster and more accurately

55、than a human.E.But today,as technology redefines how we work,the skills we need to thrive in the job marketare developing too.F.Having IQ but no EQ would leave you struggling to embrace new ways of working using yourexisting skills.G.Then,when systems change or aspects of work are automated,you will need AQ to accommodate this innovation and adapt to new ways of performing your role.第三部分 語(yǔ)言知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共三節(jié)，滿(mǎn)分30分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共15小題；每小題1分，滿(mǎn)分15分）請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文，從短文后各
