Jeff Jensen, the business and Boy Scout leader, was in a dilemma and had painful damage in his leg and foot. He needed surgery, but he doubted whether he could afford it, even with insurance. “There’s nothing more depressing than seeing a bill for 24, 000 dollars and going. How much of this will my insurance cover and how much is mine to cover?” Jensen told WWAY-TV.
Luckily for Jensen, his doctor is Demetrio Aguila. The nerve specialist gives patients the option to pay for surgery through volunteer work. He founded an organization called M25 Program. “We can’t ignore the people in our own backyard,” Aguila told CBS. “We want to be able to offer hope to patients who have lost hope medically.”
Using an algorithm (算法), the clinic calculates community service hours based on the price of the surgery. In Jensen’s case, the $12, 000 operation equaled 560 hours of helping out at one of the local charitable organizations registered with the M25 Program.
Like 10 percent of Aguila’s patients, Jensen chose the community service. And because hundreds of hours of community service can seem difficult, Aguila, 50, not only lets others participate, he encourages it. “I had this hope that we would reawaken in our neighbors and in ourselves a sense of volunteerism,” he told CNN.
Jensen, whose surgery was completed in February 2020, was helped by more than 100 friends and strangers who volunteered at Orphan Grain Train, which donates food, clothing, and medicine nationally and globally.
Dave Harvey, founder of the homeless aid organization Least of My Brethren, is counted as one who is inspired by Aguila. “He is making things easier by sending volunteers our way!” he told KMTV in Omaha. “What a cool thing!”
4．What can a patient do if he can’t afford surgery according to the text?
A．Seek aid from social media. B．Raise money in the hospital.
C．Join in the voluntary service. D．Turn to the insurance company.
5．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．People’s help. B．The M25 Program.
C．Community service. D．Medical assistance.

A．Cautious. B．Concerned. C．Grateful. D．Doubtful.
7．Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A local newspaper. B．A medical journal.
C．A clinic advertisement. D．An insurance brochure.

Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula broke their record for most visitors in a year back in 2019, with over 3.2 million1 visitors. Recently, Mexico’s first long-distance hiking and cycling trail (步道) has been completed here, which will attract tourists from all over the world once more. The tourist attraction and trail, which goes through local cultural relics, will give visitors a wonderful glimpse into the incredible history to Maya’s history.
Considering that most tourists travel to Mexico, particularly Cancun, with the 5-star hotels and perfect beaches, getting them to visit the other history-filled areas isn’t always so easy, unless they happen to be history lovers.
But with the newly constructed Camino del Mayab, tourists can experience the rich Mayan culture, history, food, and civilization. The trail is a 68-mile journey that hopes to aid in bettering the lives of the 14 communities of Mayan descendants (后代) that live along the trail. The journey can take three days to cycle or five days to walk. Those on the journey will begin in the town of Merida, and then head to many abandoned haciendas, which remind you of Mayan labor. Along the trail, visitors can purchase handicrafts and taste the delicious food of the Yucatan and the Maya from local stores and restaurants.
All throughout the trail is also a jungle where various birds and other types of animals are found. The trail ends at the very top of the pyramid of Kulkulkan at Mayapán.
The Yucatan civilization collapsed during the 9th century and its people became slaves in the 15th century. Yet, the locals worked to keep their ancestral homes, animals, cities, foods and culture work for themselves, rather than being overrun by large hotel companies. In this way, the Yucatan civilization managed to remain strong in the region.
And whether you’re a lover of Mexico or not, or possibly one that enjoys these types of camino walks, the Camino del Mayab is definitely worth the time.
8．What is Camino del Mayab?
A．A perfect beach. B．A hiking and cycling trail.
C．A historical site. D．A newly constructed hotel.
9．What is the main purpose of the Camino del Mayab?
A．To protect tropical animals. B．To further promote local goods.
C．To help improve the lives of locals. D．To attract tourists to Mexico’s beaches.
10．How did the people in Yucatan keep their civilization strong?
A．By relying on natural resources. B．By engaging in regional trade.
C．By working with large companies. D．By sticking to their way of life.
11．Why does the author write this text?
A．To advocate donations. B．To introduce a new attraction.
C．To inform a newly-discovered site. D．To call for environmental protection.

What is the biggest bony fish in the world? That title belongs to sunfish, which can reach up to over two tons. A recently-discovered species of this fish is Mola tecta, which was discovered by Nyegaard, a PhD student in Australia, after a 4-year search.
As part of her PhD research, she analyzed 150 DNA samples from sunfish off the coast of Australia and found that, besides 3 existing species, there is another that didn’t fit with any known species. Actually, this mysterious creature was not out of thin air. It was first put on the radar (雷达) in Australian water about 10 years ago. The researchers at the time had found genetic evidence of a fourth species, but the creature had not yet been found.
She and a team of researchers began their searches. They established a network of people who could inform them whenever a sunfish was found. Finally, in one lucky instance they were made aware of four sunfish that had been washed up on the beach in New Zealand. They immediately flew to take samples. What they confirmed is that these sunfish were indeed members of the species they had been searching for.
“The new species managed to escape discovery for centuries by ‘hiding’. That is why we named it Mola tecta, meaning ‘hidden’ in Latin,” said Nyegaard.
The team then studied Mola tecta and found this new species has a slimmer and smoother body shape than common sunfish, but can still grow to be 2.5 meters long.
Sunfish aren’t rare, but it’s tricky to study them. They tend to live only in areas that most humans don’t go and they dive hundreds of meters just to feed. While they don’t need air like sea mammals, they often surface to sunbathe and invite sea birds to pick the parasites off their bodies. Now that researchers have confirmed the existence of the fourth sunfish, they can rest easy and excitedly learn even more about this fish.
12．What does the underlined phrase “out of thin air” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Unknown. B．Rare. C．Active. D．Unpredictable.
13．What can we know about the team’s searches?
A．They were as smooth as expected.
B．Their results were out of expectation.
C．They were mainly done through interviews.
D．They involved efforts from non-professionals.
14．What makes it difficult to study sunfish?
A．Their size and shape. B．Their eating habits.
C．Their desire for sunshine. D．Their habitat and movements.
15．What is this text mainly about?
A．The research of a sea animal. B．The discovery of a new species.
C．The characteristics of Mola tecta. D．The difficulty of studying sea animals.

When discussing cross-cultural differences in a work context, people usually talk with issues, like values and beliefs, which have impact on their working relationships. Cross- cultural difficulties often arise unless individuals make assumptions regarding how similar another people are to them. Although much in common exist between members, but it’s not wise to assume all people have the same beliefs or priorities. For example, in East Asia, there was a tendency to keep relations harmonious by avoiding mentioning problem. In North America, on the other hand, people prefer getting to the point fastly and directly. However, such an approach may make someone embarrassing personally or publicly.

41．考查形容词。句意：这是中国古代选拔人才担任政府官员的一种方法。分析句意可知，名词office“办公室”在句中作定语修饰post“职位”，因此需要改为形容词official“官员的，官职的”。故填official。

43．考查不定式。句意：在前三个级别，考生接受了儒家经典知识和特定主题诗歌创作能力的测试。分析句意可知，动词compose“创造，撰写”在句中作ability“能力”的后置定语，故需要使用不定式。故填to compose。

46．考查形容词。句意：许多考生经历了一次又一次的失败，有些人甚至在变老、头发花白的时候仍在继续考试。分析句意可知，动词repeat“重复”在句中作定语修饰failures“失败”，故形容词形式repeated“重复的”符合语境。故填repeated。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是跨文化差异产生的原因。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：当在工作环境中讨论跨文化差异时，人们通常会谈论影响他们工作关系的问题，比如价值观和信仰。根据语境可知，句子表示“人们通常会谈论影响他们工作关系的问题”，talk about/of sth.是固定短语，意为“谈论某事”，故将with改为about/of。
2.考查冠词。句意：当在工作环境中讨论跨文化差异时，人们通常会谈论影响他们工作关系的问题，比如价值观和信仰。have an impact on是固定短语，意为“对……有影响”，故在impact前加an。
3.考查连词。句意：当/如果个人假设其他人与自己有多相似时，跨文化困难就会出现。根据语境可知，句子表示“当/如果个人假设其他人与自己有多相似时，跨文化困难就会出现”，“当/如果……”是when/if，when引导时间状语从句，if引导条件状语从句，故将unless改为when/if。
4.考查代词。句意：当/如果个人假设其他人与自己有多相似时，跨文化困难就会出现。此处表示“当/如果个人假设其他人与自己有多相似时”，“其他人”是other people，而another意为“另一个”，故将another改为other。
5.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：尽管成员之间存在许多共同点，但假设所有人都有相同的信念或优先事项是不明智的。本句描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语much是不可数，因此exist用第三人称单数，故将exist改为exists。
6.考查连词。句意：尽管成员之间存在许多共同点，但假设所有人都有相同的信念或优先事项是不明智的。although和but不能搭配使用，因此but是多余的，故去掉but。
7.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：例如，在东亚，有一种避免提及问题以保持关系和谐的倾向。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，there be句型中的be动词根据就近原则确定，a tendency是单数，因此用there is，故将was改为is。
8.考查名词的复数。句意：例如，在东亚，有一种避免提及问题以保持关系和谐的倾向。problem是可数名词，不止一个，应该用复数，故将problem改为problems。
9.考查副词。句意：另一方面，在北美，人们更喜欢快速直接地切入主题。修饰动词短语“getting to the point”应该用副词，fast的副词是fast，故将fastly改为fast。
10.考查形容词。句意：然而，这样的做法可能会使某人在个人或公共场合感到尴尬。make someone 后用形容词作宾语补足语，someone意为“某人”，修饰someone要用ed结尾的形容词embarrassed，意为“尴尬的”，表示人的感觉，故将embarrassing改为embarrassed。
