It seemed like it had nly been a few years ag that Indig, ur black Lab (拉布拉多寻回犬), had first rushed thrugh ur dr. While time raced by, ur children grew up and went ff t university. The mirrr, which had reflected a yung mum when Indig first arrived, nw shwed a wman in late middle age. We all turned grey: me, my husband, the dg. In August 2017, I tk Indig fr ne last walk. She was slw and shaky n her paws. She died that mnth, a tennis ball by her side. Nt lng after, I gt a call frm ur dg daycare. One f their custmers was dying, and her dg, Chle, needed a hme. Given ur recent lss, they asked, might ur family be interested in adpting her? I tld them I’d wned a successin f dgs since 1964, each ne f them a witness t a particular phase f my life. But with the lss f Indig, all that was ver. The days f my dgs, I nw understd, were dne at last.
Then ne mrning, as I was passing the dg daycare, I changed my mind. What harm culd Chle d? She spent hurs that first day ging t every crner, sniffing things ut. Finally she sat dwn by the fireplace and gave me a lk as if t say if yu wanted, I wuld stay with yu.
Everything I knw abut lve I’ve learned frm dgs. But everything I knw abut lss I’ve learned frm them, t. They fill ur hearts. And then, in what seems like n time at all, they’re gne.
24．What d we knw abut Indig and the authr frm paragraph 1?
A．Indig liked playing tennis ball with her.
B．Indig kept her cmpany fr many years.
C．Indig was the first dg she ever adpted.
D．Indig tk its last walk hesitantly with her.
25．Why did the authr refuse t adpt Chle initially?
A．She was nt interested in Chle.
B．She was t ld t take care f Chle.
C．She feared suffering mental lss again.
D．She already wned a successin f dgs.
26．Hw did Chle prbably feel when she first arrived at the authr’s hme?
A．Cautius.B．Energetic.C．Scared.D．Easy.
27．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A．Why I adpt dgsB．What I learn frm dgs
C．Hw I get alng with dgsD．Hw dgs keep me cmpany

We all try t spend ur days ding engaging things, but the reality is that there’s a lt f bring wrk which als must be dne. Whether it’s washing the dishes, filing papers, entering data, r any f the cuntless dull yet critical tasks that keep ur hmes, rganizatins, and cmmunities running, we all have less-than-exciting tasks we have t d. Of curse it’s nt always easy t get urselves t stick t these tasks, even if we knw we shuld. What des it take t persist (坚持) when wrk is bring?
Researchers have explred this questin frm many angles and studies have shwn that peple may persist lnger when they mnitr their prgress, receive rewards, r when a task is made mre fun. These findings have direct effects n hw we design prducts and plicies. Fr instance, cmpanies are increasingly ffering incentives t encurage emplyees t get mre exercise, and managers are carrying ut varius game strategies t make emplyees’ wrk mre fun.
Recent research by Harvard University, hwever, suggests that fr tasks that dn’t require a lt f attentin, there may be a better apprach. Researchers cnducted a series f studies with ver 2,000 participants and fund that in many cases, peple stp wrking n tasks earlier than expected nt because they aren’t mtivated enugh, but because the tasks d nt need enugh attentin.
Often, strategies designed t increase persistence will invlve changing smething abut the wrk itself — but yu can nly make washing the dishes s exciting r mentally stimulating (振奋人心的). Rather than endlessly attempting t make bring tasks less bring, it can smetimes be mre effective instead t pair these activities with ther tasks that require mre attentin. This cncept is called tangential immersin (切入式专注法).
Basically, the mind seeks t be engaged. We experience bredm when ding tasks that require less attentin than we have available, and this leads us t quit thse tasks t early. But if there is a secnd activity in which we can invlve urselves at the same time with the lw-attentin task, it can ccupy that extra attentin, reducing bredm and thus increasing persistence.
28．In what circumstance may peple cntinue with a bring task?
A．When they feel mtivated.B．When they want t kill time.
C．When they are full f energy.D．When they lack attentin.
29．What des the underlined wrd “incentives” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A．Instructins.B．Rewards.C．Prgrammes.D．Psitins.
30．Why did the participants quit their tasks earlier than expected?
A．The tasks were beynd them.B．The studies tk t much time.
C．The tasks demanded less attentin.D．The participants were nt devted.
31．Hw can we fcus n a bring task accrding t tangential immersin?
A．By making it mre challenging.B．By checking the prgress repeatedly.
C．By refreshing the mind regularly.D．By pairing it with a demanding ne.

I truly believe we all have a very special purpse in life, regardless f wh we are r where we cme frm. After ten years f wrking fr a majr Wall Street bank, I wanted t d smething challenging. S when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement lking t hire mre stckbrkers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made sme phne calls and arranged t meet with ne f its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve f his tp stckbrkers, I eventually landed the jb.
The first few mnths was a struggle. I lived n very little cmmissin (佣金). Night after night, I left the ffice weary and exhausted, ready t give up, yet smehw returning the next mrning t start anew day. Eventually, all the hard wrk paid ff. In less than fur years, I became ne f the tp sales peple at my branch and increased persnal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure incme, prmtin and numerus sales awards.
Tward the end f my furth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that smething was missing. I thught lng and hard abut my gals. Then I was reminded f the time when I spke t hundreds f peple, while in cllege as a student leader, and years later, when I wn a “Humrus Speech” champinship. It dawned n me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came ut f the experience with a wnderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extrardinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with culd enable me t make a lasting difference and transfrm ther peple’s lives.
Then I tk anther daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business fr a mre satisfying career as a mtivatinal speaker. The beginning f my speaking jurney was surprisingly similar t what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. Hwever, nthing in the wrld cmes clse t the satisfying feeling I get when thusands f peple tell me hw much I have made a difference in their lives by mtivating them t take risks and be the best they culd be.
32．Why did the authr meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?
A．T arrange an interview.B．T make an advertisement.
C．T emply mre clerks.D．T get a psitin.
33．Which f the fllwing best describes the authr accrding t paragraph 2?
A．Tlerant and ambitius.B．Demanding and successful.
C．Tugh and cmpetent.D．Optimistic and agreeable.
34．Why did the authr leave Merrill Lynch?
A．He hped t relive cllege life.B．He wanted t influence thers’ lives.
C．He had an engagement.D．His investment was nt satisfying.
35．Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A．Speaking Makes a Satisfying JbB．Challenge Yur Career Chice
C．Hard Wrk Pays OffD．Dare t Take Risks

The mst beautiful thing we can experience is mysteries. In the prcess f finding the answers, they are the surce f curisity.
A．Start t search fr the bks yu want r need.
B．Unlike puzzles, mysteries dn't need answers.
C．Mysteries have questins that can't be answered clearly.
D．And that's hw Lenard plished his brain t remain curius.
E．Allw bks r things n the bkshelves freely t attract yur eye.
F．Putting ideas in yur head rather than searching nline plays an imprtant part.
G．But we can achieve happiness and mre meaning in life if we increase ur curisity.

My parents were deaf, s I grew up living in tw wrlds, ur private wrld and the “hearing” wrld utside. Unlike my mther, my father was deaf because f the fever when he was at schl age. Even s, Daddy Ben was undefeated. He transfrmed pain int humr. “It is better t laugh at life,” he'd say. “It makes easier a hard time.” I began t understand what he meant ne evening when my mther signaled t me t phne a message t my father at the shp where he wrked. I went t a pay phne nearby and dialed the number.
“I have a message fr a man called Ben. He is my father,” I tld the man wh answered.
“I dn't knw any Ben here.” The man was impatient.
“He's deaf” I explained.
“Oh, yu mean the Dummy. Why didn't yu say that befre?”
I dn't remember the rest f that cnversatin. All I remember is the wrd dummy. I had heard my parents described as deaf-and-dumb all thrugh my childhd. I always tk pains t explain that althugh they were deaf, they were nt dumb.
“Why d yu let yur bss call yu Dummy?” I asked my father the next day.
He shrugged. “It is easier fr them. They remember me.”
I was angry. “Yu are nt a dummy. Yu are a smart man. Tell them yur name is Benjamin.”
He smiled. “It is all right. I knw I am nt dummy. I listen with my eyes and that is enugh.” Lcked in stillness, he was pleased with himself. But I was nt.
Dummy, I wrte the hateful wrd many times in my ntebk, tre ut the page and crumpled it int a ball. My father saw my anger. “Dn't wrry,” he said in a harsh vice. “I will imprve my speaking every day. I will learn new wrds, and yu, Ruth, are my teacher. Yu are my dictinary. And dn't waste yur sweet vice. Ask yur teachers if yu have questins.” I hugged him.

24．B 25．C 26．A 27．B
24．细节理解题。根据第一段“The mirrr, which had reflected a yung mum when Indig first arrived, nw shwed a wman in late middle age.(镜子里那个刚刚带着Indig 回家来的年轻妈妈，现在已经是一个人过中年的妇女)”可知，Indig 陪伴了作者多年，故选B项。
25．推理判断题。根据第一段“But with the lss f Indig, all that was ver. The days f my dgs, I nw understd, were dne at last.(但是随着我们失去了Indig ，一切都结束了。我感受到我养狗的日子最终结束了)”可知痛失Indig 让作者不敢再养狗，不敢再遭遇精神上的打击，故选C项。
26．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She spent hurs that first day ging t every crner, sniffing things ut.(刚到的那天它一连几个小时从这个角落走到那个角落，闻闻这儿闻闻那儿)”可知，Chle 对新环境小心谨慎。故选A项。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But with the lss f Indig, all that was ver. The days f my dgs, I nw understd, were dne at last.(但是随着我们失去了Indig ，一切都结束了。我感受到我养狗的日子最终结束了)”以及最后一段“Everything I knw abut lve I’ve learned frm dgs.(我从狗身上学到了关于爱的一切)”可知本文讲述了作者从痛失爱犬不愿意再养狗，到从狗身上学到了关于爱的一切，改变主意再次养狗。由此可知，B项“我从狗狗身上学到的”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B项。
28．A 29．B 30．C 31．D
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers have explred this questin frm many angles and studies have shwn that peple may persist lnger when they mnitr their prgress, receive rewards, r when a task is made mre fun.”（研究人员从多个角度探讨了这个问题，研究表明，当人们监控自己的进展、获得奖励或当任务变得更有趣时，他们可能会坚持更久。）可知，当人们有动力的时候，他们可以继续做一项无聊的任务。故选A项。
29．词义猜测题。根据第二段中“peple may persist lnger when they mnitr their prgress, receive rewards, r when a task is made mre fun.”（当人们监控自己的进展、获得奖励或当任务变得更有趣时，他们可能会坚持更久。）以及划线单词句中的“…t encurage emplyees t get mre exercise, and managers are carrying ut varius game strategies t make emplyees’ wrk mre fun.”（鼓励员工多锻炼身体，经理们也在实施各种游戏策略，让员工的工作更有趣。）故可猜测，划线单词incentives为“激励，奖励”的意思，结合选项B项Rewards“奖励”意思一致。故选B项。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers cnducted a series f studies with ver 2,000 participants and fund that in many cases, peple stp wrking n tasks earlier than expected nt because they aren’t mtivated enugh, but because the tasks d nt need enugh attentin.”（研究人员对2000多名参与者进行了一系列研究，发现在许多情况下，人们比预期更早地停止工作，不是因为他们没有足够的动力，而是因为这些任务不需要足够的注意力。）可知，参与者会比预期更早地退出任务是因为这些任务需要较少的注意力。故选C项。
31．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Rather than endlessly attempting t make bring tasks less bring, it can smetimes be mre effective instead t pair these activities with ther tasks that require mre attentin. This cncept is called tangential immersin .”（与其无休止地试图让无聊的任务变得不那么无聊，有时把这些活动与其他需要更多注意力的任务配对会更有效。这个概念被称为切向沉浸。）可知，根据切向沉浸感，我们把它和一个高要求的配对来专注于枯燥的任务。故选D项。
32．D 33．C 34．B 35．D
32．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“S when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement lking t hire mre stckbrkers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made sme phne calls and arranged t meet with ne f its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve f his tp stckbrkers, I eventually landed the jb.(因此，当我看到美林公司招聘更多股票经纪人的广告时，我非常兴奋地打了几个电话，并安排与该公司的一位分行副总裁会面。经过这次面试和他的12位顶级股票经纪人的面试，我最终得到了这份工作)”可知，作者与美林公司分行副总裁会面，是为了获得股票经纪人这个岗位。故选D项。
33．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The first few mnths was a struggle. I lived n very little cmmissin (佣金). Night after night, I left the ffice weary and exhausted, ready t give up, yet smehw returning the next mrning t start anew day. Eventually, all the hard wrk paid ff. In less than fur years, I became ne f the tp sales peple at my branch and increased persnal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure incme, prmtin and numerus sales awards.(最初的几个月很艰难。我靠很少的佣金生活。一夜又一夜，我疲惫不堪地离开办公室，准备放弃，但第二天早上又不知怎么地回来，开始新的一天。最终，所有的努力都得到了回报。在不到四年的时间里，我成为了分公司最优秀的销售人员之一，个人销售额增长了1700%。这次成功为我赢得了六位数的收入、晋升和无数的销售奖励)”可知，作者最初的几个月很艰难，只能靠很少的佣金生活，但在不到四年的时间里，作者成为了分公司最优秀的销售人员之一。由此推知，作者虽然过得艰难，但是也很有能力。故选C项。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句话“I knew the extrardinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with culd enable me t make a lasting difference and transfrm ther peple’s lives.(我知道我所拥有的非凡的公共演讲技巧可以使我产生持久的影响，并改变别人的生活)”和第四段第一句话“Then I tk anther daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business fr a mre satisfying career as a mtivatinal speaker.(然后，我又冒了一次大胆的风险，放弃了一切，离开了投资行业，去做一名更令人满意的励志演说家)”可知，作者离开美林公司，离开投资行业，去做一名励志演说家，是希望用自己的演讲技巧改变别人的生活，影响别人。故选B项。
35．主旨大意题。阅读文章，尤其是第一段第二句“After ten years f wrking fr a majr Wall Street bank, I wanted t d smething challenging.(在华尔街一家大银行工作了十年之后，我想做一些具有挑战性的事情)”和最后一段第一句“Then I tk anther daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business fr a mre satisfying career as a mtivatinal speaker.(然后，我又冒了一次大胆的风险，放弃了一切，离开了投资行业，去做一名更令人满意的励志演说家)”可知，作者用自身经历告诉我们要敢于挑战，敢于冒险。由此可知，D项“Dare t Take Risks(敢于冒险)”最能概括本文主旨。故选D项。
36．G 37．D 38．E 39．F 40．C
36．前句“Buried in the same daily rutines and familiar surrundings, sme peple may lead an unhappy life.”说机械般的生活让部分人过得不开心，而最后一句“Here are sme tips n hw t imprve curisity.”点出全文中心——培养好奇心的方法，后句的“it”及其定义来看，该空将引入“好奇心”，因此此处需要进行转折性过渡。G选项“But we can achieve happiness and mre meaning in life if we increase ur curisity.（但是，如果我们增加我们的好奇心，我们可以获得幸福和更多的生活意义）”与第一句形成转折，又引领下一句，符合此处语境。故选G项。
37．前文说“There is a t-d list n Lenard da Vinci's ntebk. Out f the fifteen tasks n the list, at least eight invlve cnsulting with thers. Mntaigne nce wrte f hw travel t different cuntries allws us t "plish ur brains".”达·芬奇任务清单中绝大多数任务是与别人交流，蒙田阐述过跨区域旅行对思维的更新和提升作用。因此此处融合前两句语境，认为达·芬奇那么做便是符合蒙田所说的更新思维以保持好奇心。与D选项“And that's hw Lenard plished his brain t remain curius.（这就是达·芬奇如何改进他的大脑来保持好奇心）”意思相符。故选D项。
38．该段首句“Why nt visit a library? （为什么不去图书馆）”提出去图书馆，随后列举在图书馆的三个行为，因此该空的行为应在图书馆这一语义场下发生。根据前句“withut purpse”和后句“unexpected”可知，该空的行为同样不带目的，E选项“Allw bks r things n the bkshelves freely t attract yur eye.”（任由书架上的书或物品引领自己的注意力）符合此处语境。故选E项。
39．下文“With ideas stred in mind, yu can mix and re-mix ideas and themes, making new findings and sptting unusual patterns, until a creative breakthrugh is achieved, which strengthens yur curisity. ”说依据储存在大脑的点子，我们可以多次混合从而获得新发现、新规律和新突破，这个过程强化了好奇心，而依赖电脑搜索而停止学习的人会变笨。由此可见，提升好奇心的第三种方法即——将点子记进脑海而非依赖网络搜索。F选项“Putting ideas in yur head rather than searching nline plays an imprtant part.”（把想法放在脑子里，而不是上网搜索，这一点很重要）符合此处语境。故选F项。
40．根据本段大意可知，第四种方式即聚焦“神秘的事情”而非“谜题”。根据“Puzzles have clear answers. Once the missing infrmatin is fund, it's nt a puzzle anymre, with curisity fading away.”可知，先解释不聚焦“谜题”是因为其有固定答案，一旦答案出来，便不再有吸引力，好奇心消退。接着应转移到重点的“神秘的事情”并进行解释，随后说其答案复杂难找。C选项“Mysteries have questins that can't be answered clearly.（神秘的事物总是有无法被清楚地回答的问题）”起到承上启下的作用，can't be answered clearly呼应cmplex set f factrs（因素）符合此处语境。故选C项。
41．C 42．B 43．D 44．A 45．C 46．C 47．D 48．B 49．C 50．A 51．B 52．D 53．B 54．A 55．B

It seemed like it had nly been a few years ag that Indig, ur black Lab (拉布拉多寻回犬), had first rushed thrugh ur dr. While time raced by, ur children grew up and went ff t university. The mirrr, which had reflected a yung mum when Indig first arrived, nw shwed a wman in late middle age. We all turned grey: me, my husband, the dg. In August 2017, I tk Indig fr ne last walk. She was slw and shaky n her paws. She died that mnth, a tennis ball by her side. Nt lng after, I gt a call frm ur dg daycare. One f their custmers was dying, and her dg, Chle, needed a hme. Given ur recent lss, they asked, might ur family be interested in adpting her? I tld them I’d wned a successin f dgs since 1964, each ne f them a witness t a particular phase f my life. But with the lss f Indig, all that was ver. The days f my dgs, I nw understd, were dne at last.
Then ne mrning, as I was passing the dg daycare, I changed my mind. What harm culd Chle d? She spent hurs that first day ging t every crner, sniffing things ut. Finally she sat dwn by the fireplace and gave me a lk as if t say if yu wanted, I wuld stay with yu.
Everything I knw abut lve I’ve learned frm dgs. But everything I knw abut lss I’ve learned frm them, t. They fill ur hearts. And then, in what seems like n time at all, they’re gne.
24．What d we knw abut Indig and the authr frm paragraph 1?
A．Indig liked playing tennis ball with her.
B．Indig kept her cmpany fr many years.
C．Indig was the first dg she ever adpted.
D．Indig tk its last walk hesitantly with her.
25．Why did the authr refuse t adpt Chle initially?
A．She was nt interested in Chle.
B．She was t ld t take care f Chle.
C．She feared suffering mental lss again.
D．She already wned a successin f dgs.
26．Hw did Chle prbably feel when she first arrived at the authr’s hme?
A．Cautius.B．Energetic.C．Scared.D．Easy.
27．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?

We all try t spend ur days ding engaging things, but the reality is that there’s a lt f bring wrk which als must be dne. Whether it’s washing the dishes, filing papers, entering data, r any f the cuntless dull yet critical tasks that keep ur hmes, rganizatins, and cmmunities running, we all have less-than-exciting tasks we have t d. Of curse it’s nt always easy t get urselves t stick t these tasks, even if we knw we shuld. What des it take t persist (坚持) when wrk is bring?
Researchers have explred this questin frm many angles and studies have shwn that peple may persist lnger when they mnitr their prgress, receive rewards, r when a task is made mre fun. These findings have direct effects n hw we design prducts and plicies. Fr instance, cmpanies are increasingly ffering incentives t encurage emplyees t get mre exercise, and managers are carrying ut varius game strategies t make emplyees’ wrk mre fun.
Recent research by Harvard University, hwever, suggests that fr tasks that dn’t require a lt f attentin, there may be a better apprach. Researchers cnducted a series f studies with ver 2,000 participants and fund that in many cases, peple stp wrking n tasks earlier than expected nt because they aren’t mtivated enugh, but because the tasks d nt need enugh attentin.
Often, strategies designed t increase persistence will invlve changing smething abut the wrk itself — but yu can nly make washing the dishes s exciting r mentally stimulating (振奋人心的). Rather than endlessly attempting t make bring tasks less bring, it can smetimes be mre effective instead t pair these activities with ther tasks that require mre attentin. This cncept is called tangential immersin (切入式专注法).
Basically, the mind seeks t be engaged. We experience bredm when ding tasks that require less attentin than we have available, and this leads us t quit thse tasks t early. But if there is a secnd activity in which we can invlve urselves at the same time with the lw-attentin task, it can ccupy that extra attentin, reducing bredm and thus increasing persistence.
28．In what circumstance may peple cntinue with a bring task?
A．When they feel mtivated.B．When they want t kill time.
C．When they are full f energy.D．When they lack attentin.
29．What des the underlined wrd “incentives” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A．Instructins.B．Rewards.C．Prgrammes.D．Psitins.
30．Why did the participants quit their tasks earlier than expected?
A．The tasks were beynd them.B．The studies tk t much time.
C．The tasks demanded less attentin.D．The participants were nt devted.
31．Hw can we fcus n a bring task accrding t tangential immersin?
A．By making it mre challenging.B．By checking the prgress repeatedly.
C．By refreshing the mind regularly.D．By pairing it with a demanding ne.

I truly believe we all have a very special purpse in life, regardless f wh we are r where we cme frm. After ten years f wrking fr a majr Wall Street bank, I wanted t d smething challenging. S when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement lking t hire mre stckbrkers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made sme phne calls and arranged t meet with ne f its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve f his tp stckbrkers, I eventually landed the jb.
The first few mnths was a struggle. I lived n very little cmmissin (佣金). Night after night, I left the ffice weary and exhausted, ready t give up, yet smehw returning the next mrning t start anew day. Eventually, all the hard wrk paid ff. In less than fur years, I became ne f the tp sales peple at my branch and increased persnal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure incme, prmtin and numerus sales awards.
Tward the end f my furth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that smething was missing. I thught lng and hard abut my gals. Then I was reminded f the time when I spke t hundreds f peple, while in cllege as a student leader, and years later, when I wn a “Humrus Speech” champinship. It dawned n me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came ut f the experience with a wnderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extrardinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with culd enable me t make a lasting difference and transfrm ther peple’s lives.
Then I tk anther daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business fr a mre satisfying career as a mtivatinal speaker. The beginning f my speaking jurney was surprisingly similar t what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. Hwever, nthing in the wrld cmes clse t the satisfying feeling I get when thusands f peple tell me hw much I have made a difference in their lives by mtivating them t take risks and be the best they culd be.
32．Why did the authr meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?
A．T arrange an interview.B．T make an advertisement.
C．T emply mre clerks.D．T get a psitin.
33．Which f the fllwing best describes the authr accrding t paragraph 2?
A．Tlerant and ambitius.B．Demanding and successful.
C．Tugh and cmpetent.D．Optimistic and agreeable.
34．Why did the authr leave Merrill Lynch?
A．He hped t relive cllege life.B．He wanted t influence thers’ lives.
C．He had an engagement.D．His investment was nt satisfying.

My parents were deaf, s I grew up living in tw wrlds, ur private wrld and the “hearing” wrld utside. Unlike my mther, my father was deaf because f the fever when he was at schl age. Even s, Daddy Ben was undefeated. He transfrmed pain int humr. “It is better t laugh at life,” he'd say. “It makes easier a hard time.” I began t understand what he meant ne evening when my mther signaled t me t phne a message t my father at the shp where he wrked. I went t a pay phne nearby and dialed the number.
“I have a message fr a man called Ben. He is my father,” I tld the man wh answered.
“I dn't knw any Ben here.” The man was impatient.
“He's deaf” I explained.
“Oh, yu mean the Dummy. Why didn't yu say that befre?”
I dn't remember the rest f that cnversatin. All I remember is the wrd dummy. I had heard my parents described as deaf-and-dumb all thrugh my childhd. I always tk pains t explain that althugh they were deaf, they were nt dumb.
“Why d yu let yur bss call yu Dummy?” I asked my father the next day.
He shrugged. “It is easier fr them. They remember me.”
I was angry. “Yu are nt a dummy. Yu are a smart man. Tell them yur name is Benjamin.”
He smiled. “It is all right. I knw I am nt dummy. I listen with my eyes and that is enugh.” Lcked in stillness, he was pleased with himself. But I was nt.
Dummy, I wrte the hateful wrd many times in my ntebk, tre ut the page and crumpled it int a ball. My father saw my anger. “Dn't wrry,” he said in a harsh vice. “I will imprve my speaking every day. I will learn new wrds, and yu, Ruth, are my teacher. Yu are my dictinary. And dn't waste yur sweet vice. Ask yur teachers if yu have questins.” I hugged him.

After this interview and interviews with twelve f his tp stckbrkers, I eventually landed the jb.(因此，当我看到美林公司招聘更多股票经纪人的广告时，我非常兴奋地打了几个电话，并安排与该公司的一位分行副总裁会面。经过这次面试和他的12位顶级股票经纪人的面试，我最终得到了这份工作)”可知，作者与美林公司分行副总裁会面，是为了获得股票经纪人这个岗位。故选D项。
33．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The first few mnths was a struggle. I lived n very little cmmissin (佣金). Night after night, I left the ffice weary and exhausted, ready t give up, yet smehw returning the next mrning t start anew day. Eventually, all the hard wrk paid ff. In less than fur years, I became ne f the tp sales peple at my branch and increased persnal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure incme, prmtin and numerus sales awards.(最初的几个月很艰难。我靠很少的佣金生活。一夜又一夜，我疲惫不堪地离开办公室，准备放弃，但第二天早上又不知怎么地回来，开始新的一天。最终，所有的努力都得到了回报。在不到四年的时间里，我成为了分公司最优秀的销售人员之一，个人销售额增长了1700%。这次成功为我赢得了六位数的收入、晋升和无数的销售奖励)”可知，作者最初的几个月很艰难，只能靠很少的佣金生活，但在不到四年的时间里，作者成为了分公司最优秀的销售人员之一。由此推知，作者虽然过得艰难，但是也很有能力。故选C项。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句话“I knew the extrardinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with culd enable me t make a lasting difference and transfrm ther peple’s lives.(我知道我所拥有的非凡的公共演讲技巧可以使我产生持久的影响，并改变别人的生活)”和第四段第一句话“Then I tk anther daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business fr a mre satisfying career as a mtivatinal speaker.(然后，我又冒了一次大胆的风险，放弃了一切，离开了投资行业，去做一名更令人满意的励志演说家)”可知，作者离开美林公司，离开投资行业，去做一名励志演说家，是希望用自己的演讲技巧改变别人的生活，影响别人。故选B项。
35．主旨大意题。阅读文章，尤其是第一段第二句“After ten years f wrking fr a majr Wall Street bank, I wanted t d smething challenging.(在华尔街一家大银行工作了十年之后，我想做一些具有挑战性的事情)”和最后一段第一句“Then I tk anther daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business fr a mre satisfying career as a mtivatinal speaker.(然后，我又冒了一次大胆的风险，放弃了一切，离开了投资行业，去做一名更令人满意的励志演说家)”可知，作者用自身经历告诉我们要敢于挑战，敢于冒险。由此可知，D项“Dare t Take Risks(敢于冒险)”最能概括本文主旨。故选D项。
36．G 37．D 38．E 39．F 40．C
36．前句“Buried in the same daily rutines and familiar surrundings, sme peple may lead an unhappy life.”说机械般的生活让部分人过得不开心，而最后一句“Here are sme tips n hw t imprve curisity.”点出全文中心——培养好奇心的方法，后句的“it”及其定义来看，该空将引入“好奇心”，因此此处需要进行转折性过渡。G选项“But we can achieve happiness and mre meaning in life if we increase ur curisity.（但是，如果我们增加我们的好奇心，我们可以获得幸福和更多的生活意义）”与第一句形成转折，又引领下一句，符合此处语境。故选G项。
37．前文说“There is a t-d list n Lenard da Vinci's ntebk. Out f the fifteen tasks n the list, at least eight invlve cnsulting with thers. Mntaigne nce wrte f hw travel t different cuntries allws us t "plish ur brains".”达·芬奇任务清单中绝大多数任务是与别人交流，蒙田阐述过跨区域旅行对思维的更新和提升作用。因此此处融合前两句语境，认为达·芬奇那么做便是符合蒙田所说的更新思维以保持好奇心。与D选项“And that's hw Lenard plished his brain t remain curius.（这就是达·芬奇如何改进他的大脑来保持好奇心）”意思相符。故选D项。
38．该段首句“Why nt visit a library? （为什么不去图书馆）”提出去图书馆，随后列举在图书馆的三个行为，因此该空的行为应在图书馆这一语义场下发生。根据前句“withut purpse”和后句“unexpected”可知，该空的行为同样不带目的，E选项“Allw bks r things n the bkshelves freely t attract yur eye.”（任由书架上的书或物品引领自己的注意力）符合此处语境。故选E项。
39．下文“With ideas stred in mind, yu can mix and re-mix ideas and themes, making new findings and sptting unusual patterns, until a creative breakthrugh is achieved, which strengthens yur curisity. ”说依据储存在大脑的点子，我们可以多次混合从而获得新发现、新规律和新突破，这个过程强化了好奇心，而依赖电脑搜索而停止学习的人会变笨。由此可见，提升好奇心的第三种方法即——将点子记进脑海而非依赖网络搜索。F选项“Putting ideas in yur head rather than searching nline plays an imprtant part.”（把想法放在脑子里，而不是上网搜索，这一点很重要）符合此处语境。故选F项。
40．根据本段大意可知，第四种方式即聚焦“神秘的事情”而非“谜题”。根据“Puzzles have clear answers. Once the missing infrmatin is fund, it's nt a puzzle anymre, with curisity fading away.”可知，先解释不聚焦“谜题”是因为其有固定答案，一旦答案出来，便不再有吸引力，好奇心消退。接着应转移到重点的“神秘的事情”并进行解释，随后说其答案复杂难找。C选项“Mysteries have questins that can't be answered clearly.（神秘的事物总是有无法被清楚地回答的问题）”起到承上启下的作用，can't be answered clearly呼应cmplex set f factrs（因素）符合此处语境。故选C项。
41．C 42．B 43．D 44．A 45．C 46．C 47．D 48．B 49．C 50．A 51．B 52．D 53．B 54．A 55．B
