It is in human nature t explre new things. T that end, many cuntries have been explring space fr many decades, particularly the US, Russia, and cuntries in Eurpe.
President Xi Jinping praised the success f the Chang’e 5 missin (使命) in bringing back the cuntry’s first samples (样本) cllected frm the mn. The whle cuntry is prud f this breakthrugh.

At university, when I tld peple I was studying fr a histry degree, the respnse was almst always the same, “Yu want t be a teacher?” N, a jurnalist. “Oh. But yu’re nt majring in cmmunicatins?”
In the days when a university educatin was a privilege, perhaps there wasn’t the assumptin that a degree had t be a springbard directly int a career. Thse days are lng gne. Tday, a degree is all but a necessity fr the jb market, ne that mre than halves yur chances f being unemplyed. Still, that alne is n guarantee f a jb—and yet we’re paying mre and mre fr ne.
Given thse csts, mst f us want t maximize that investment — and that can lead t a plug-and-play type f apprach t higher educatin. Want t be a jurnalist? Study jurnalism, we’re tld. A lawyer? Pursue pre-law. Nt ttally sure? G int STEM (Science, Technlgy, Engineer and Maths) — yu can becme an engineer r an IT expert. And n matter what yu d, frget the humanities, such as histry, philsphy and languages.
It’s true that the humanities cme with a higher risk f unemplyment, but the risk is slighter than yu wuld imagine. Fr yung peple in the U.S. , the unemplyment rate f thse with humanities degrees is fur percent, just a little mre than that f engineering degree hlders. Lwer salaries may nt be caused by the degree itself either. The gender pay gap persists in the humanities, whse graduates are mre likely t be female. Is it any wnder then that language teachers tend t make less than engineers?
Accrding t LinkedIn’s research n the mst sught-after jb skills by emplyers fr 2019, the ability t cmmunicate and get alng with peple, t understand what’s n ther peple’s minds, and t d full-strength critical analysis were all valued and appreciated. It ges withut saying that yu can be an excellent cmmunicatr and critical thinker withut a humanities degree. And any gd university educatin, nt just ne in English r psychlgy, shuld sharpen these abilities further. But few curses f study are quite as heavy n reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities — whether that’s by debating ther students in a seminar, writing a thesis paper r analyzing petry.
The whle questin f whether a student shuld chse STEM versus the humanities might be misguided t begin with. The headlines mst f us see dn’t help. Whatever a student pursues in university, it must be smething that they are nt nly gd at, but interested in. Even if it means pursuing a “useless” degree — like ne in humanities.
8. Why are peple paying mre and mre fr a degree?
A. Because peple need a degree t further their career.
B. Because university educatin is cnsidered a privilege.
C. Because a degree is viewed as a must fr landing a jb.
D. Because their interest can be develped in university.
9 The authr mentined a plug-and-play type f apprach t shw ________.
A. a tip fr chsing a majr
B. the imprtance f higher educatin
C. a prblem that exists amng STEM graduates
D. the reasn why peple verlk the humanities
10. Accrding t the authr, what is the benefit f majring in humanities?
A. A cmparatively high salary after graduatin.
B. Better chances f getting rid f gender prejudice.
C. A better cmmunicative skill than science students.
D. Mre expsure t the training f language and thinking.
11. What is the authr's attitude twards the pursuit f humanities?
A. Dubtful.B. Optimistic.
C. Objective.D. Cncerned.
D
If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things.
Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example f this between literate and nn-literate histry is perhaps the first cnflict, at Btany Bay, between Captain Ck’s vyage and the Australian Abriginals. Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. If we want t recnstruct what was actually ging n that day, the shield must be questined and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reprts.
In additin t the prblem f miscmprehensin frm bth sides, there are victries accidentally r deliberately twisted, especially when nly the victrs knw hw t write. Thse wh are n the lsing side ften have nly their things t tell their stries. The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Hw past events shuld be presented.B. What humanity is cncerned abut.
C. Whether facts speak luder than wrds.D. Why written language is reliable.
13 What des the authr indicate by mentining Captain Ck in paragraph 2?
A. His reprt was scientific.B. He represented the lcal peple.
C. He ruled ver Btany Bay.D. His recrd was ne-sided.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cnversatin” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Prblem.B. Histry.C. Vice.D. Sciety.
15. Which f the fllwing bks is the text mst likely selected frm?
A. Hw Maps Tell Stries f the Wrld B. A Shrt Histry f Australia
C. A Histry f the Wrld in 100 Objects D. Hw Art Wrks Tell Stries

At university, when I tld peple I was studying fr a histry degree, the respnse was almst always the same, “Yu want t be a teacher?” N, a jurnalist. “Oh. But yu’re nt majring in cmmunicatins?”
In the days when a university educatin was a privilege, perhaps there wasn’t the assumptin that a degree had t be a springbard directly int a career. Thse days are lng gne. Tday, a degree is all but a necessity fr the jb market, ne that mre than halves yur chances f being unemplyed. Still, that alne is n guarantee f a jb—and yet we’re paying mre and mre fr ne.
Given thse csts, mst f us want t maximize that investment — and that can lead t a plug-and-play type f apprach t higher educatin. Want t be a jurnalist? Study jurnalism, we’re tld. A lawyer? Pursue pre-law. Nt ttally sure? G int STEM (Science, Technlgy, Engineer and Maths) — yu can becme an engineer r an IT expert. And n matter what yu d, frget the humanities, such as histry, philsphy and languages.
It’s true that the humanities cme with a higher risk f unemplyment, but the risk is slighter than yu wuld imagine. Fr yung peple in the U.S. , the unemplyment rate f thse with humanities degrees is fur percent, just a little mre than that f engineering degree hlders. Lwer salaries may nt be caused by the degree itself either. The gender pay gap persists in the humanities, whse graduates are mre likely t be female. Is it any wnder then that language teachers tend t make less than engineers?
Accrding t LinkedIn’s research n the mst sught-after jb skills by emplyers fr 2019, the ability t cmmunicate and get alng with peple, t understand what’s n ther peple’s minds, and t d full-strength critical analysis were all valued and appreciated. It ges withut saying that yu can be an excellent cmmunicatr and critical thinker withut a humanities degree. And any gd university educatin, nt just ne in English r psychlgy, shuld sharpen these abilities further. But few curses f study are quite as heavy n reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities — whether that’s by debating ther students in a seminar, writing a thesis paper r analyzing petry.
The whle questin f whether a student shuld chse STEM versus the humanities might be misguided t begin with. The headlines mst f us see dn’t help. Whatever a student pursues in university, it must be smething that they are nt nly gd at, but interested in. Even if it means pursuing a “useless” degree — like ne in humanities.
8. Why are peple paying mre and mre fr a degree?
A. Because peple need a degree t further their career.
B. Because university educatin is cnsidered a privilege.
C. Because a degree is viewed as a must fr landing a jb.
D. Because their interest can be develped in university.
9. The authr mentined a plug-and-play type f apprach t shw ________.
A. a tip fr chsing a majr
B. the imprtance f higher educatin
C. a prblem that exists amng STEM graduates
D. the reasn why peple verlk the humanities
10. Accrding t the authr, what is the benefit f majring in humanities?
A. A cmparatively high salary after graduatin.
B. Better chances f getting rid f gender prejudice.
C. A better cmmunicative skill than science students.
D. Mre expsure t the training f language and thinking.
11. What is the authr's attitude twards the pursuit f humanities?
A. Dubtful.B. Optimistic.
C. Objective.D. Cncerned.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者在文中引用了科学数据客观介绍了学习人文学科利与弊，告诉我们学生在大学里学习的应该是自己擅长并感兴趣的东西，并不只是为了获得工作而学习。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Tday, a degree is all but a necessity fr the jb market, ne that mre than halves yur chances f being unemplyed. Still, that alne is n guarantee f a jb — and yet we’re paying mre and mre fr ne.(如今，学位对就业市场来说几乎是一种必需品，它会使你失业的几率减半以上。尽管如此，单凭这一点并不能保证找到一份工作，然而我们为学位付出的代价却越来越高)”可知，人们为学位付出的代价却越来越高是因为学位被视为获得工作的必备条件。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Given thse csts, mst f us want t maximize that investment—and that can lead t a plug-and-play type f apprach t higher educatin.(考虑到这些成本，我们大多数人都希望将投资最大化——这就导致了一种即插即用的高等教育方式)”和“And n matter what yu d, frget the humanities, such as histry, philsphy and languages.(不管你做什么，忘记了人文学科，比如历史、哲学和语言)”可知，作者提出了一种即插即用的方法是为了说明人们忽视人文学科的原因。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“But few curses f study are quite as heavy n reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities — whether that’s by debating ther students in a seminar, writing a thesis paper r analyzing petry.(但很少有课程像人文学科那样注重阅读、写作、口语和批判性思维——无论是在研讨会上与其他学生辩论、写论文还是分析诗歌)”可知，在笔者看来，主修人文学科的好处是能更多的接受语言和思维的训练。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“Fr yung peple in the U.S. , the unemplyment rate f thse with humanities degrees is fur percent, just a little mre than that f engineering degree hlders.(对于美国的年轻人来说，拥有人文学科学位的人的失业率是百分之四，只比拥有工程学学位的人高一点点)”和倒数第二段关键句“But few curses f study are quite as heavy n reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities — whether that’s by debating ther students in a seminar, writing a thesis paper r analyzing petry.(但很少有课程像人文学科那样注重阅读、写作、口语和批判性思维——无论是在研讨会上与其他学生辩论、写论文还是分析诗歌)”可知，作者在文中引用了科学数据客观介绍了学习人文学科的利与弊，作者对学习人文学科的态度是客观的。故选C项。

If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things.
Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example f this between literate and nn-literate histry is perhaps the first cnflict, at Btany Bay, between Captain Ck’s vyage and the Australian Abriginals. Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. If we want t recnstruct what was actually ging n that day, the shield must be questined and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reprts.
In additin t the prblem f miscmprehensin frm bth sides, there are victries accidentally r deliberately twisted, especially when nly the victrs knw hw t write. Thse wh are n the lsing side ften have nly their things t tell their stries. The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Hw past events shuld be presented.B. What humanity is cncerned abut.
C. Whether facts speak luder than wrds.D. Why written language is reliable.
13. What des the authr indicate by mentining Captain Ck in paragraph 2?
A. His reprt was scientific.B. He represented the lcal peple.
C. He ruled ver Btany Bay.D. His recrd was ne-sided.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cnversatin” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Prblem.B. Histry.C. Vice.D. Sciety.
15. Which f the fllwing bks is the text mst likely selected frm?
A. Hw Maps Tell Stries f the Wrld B. A Shrt Histry f Australia
C. A Histry f the Wrld in 100 Objects D. Hw Art Wrks Tell Stries
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史的局限性，并强调了将物品纳入历史叙事以更好地理解无文字社会的重要性。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt. Writing is ne f humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) scieties recrded their cncerns nt nly in writing but in things. (如果你想讲述整个世界的历史，一段不以人类某一部分为特权的历史，你不能仅仅通过文本来讲述，因为世界上只有一部分人曾经有过文本，而世界上大多数人，在大多数时间里，都没有。写作是人类较晚的成就之一，直到最近，甚至许多有文字的社会也不仅用文字，而且用物件来记录他们所关心的事情。)”可推知，第一段主要讲述的是历史应该如何呈现给我们。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段首句“Ideally a histry wuld bring tgether texts and bjects, and sme chapters f this bk are able t d just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. (理想情况下，历史应该将文本和物品结合在一起，本书的某些章节能够做到这一点，但在许多情况下，我们根本做不到。)”可推断，作者认为历史应该是文本和物品相结合的产物，但是很多情况下，我们做不到。再根据所举例子的下文“Frm the English side, we have scientific reprts and the captain’s recrd f that terrible day. Frm the Australian side, we have nly a wden shield (盾) drpped by a man in flight after his first experience f gunsht. (在英国方面，我们有科学报告和船长对那可怕的一天的记录。从澳大利亚方面来看，我们只有一个木制盾牌，这是一名男子在第一次经历枪击后在飞行中扔下的。)”可知，作者举这个例子是为了说明船长的记录是片面的，只从自己的角度描述了问题。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“The Caribbean Tain, the Australian Abriginals, the African peple f Benin and the Incas, all f whm appear in this bk, can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made: a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice. When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these, all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted, nly ne half f a dialgue. (加勒比海的泰诺人、澳大利亚的土著人、贝宁的非洲人以及印加人，所有这些人都出现在这本书中，他们现在都可以通过他们制造的物品向我们讲述他们过去最强大的成就：通过物品讲述的历史给了他们一个声音。当我们考虑诸如此类的有文化社会和无文化社会之间的接触时，我们所有的第一手资料都必然是扭曲的，只有对话的一半。)”结合划线句“If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我们要找到对话的另一半，我们不仅要读文本，还要读物体。)”可知，我们对过去历史的了解，只是书写历史的人所想要让我们了解的历史，如果我们想要了解历史的另一半，我们不仅仅要读文本也要读对象。所以cnversatin指的是“历史”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“If yu want t tell the histry f the whle wrld, a histry that des nt privilege ne part f humanity, yu cannt d it thrugh texts alne, because nly sme f the wrld has ever had texts, while mst f the wrld, fr mst f the time, has nt.(如果你想讲述整个世界的历史，一段不以人类某一部分为特权的历史，你不能仅仅通过文本来讲述，因为世界上只有一部分人的历史曾经被文字记录过，而世界上大多数人，在大多数时间里，都没有。)”结合最后一段的“ If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin, we have t read nt just the texts, but the bjects. (如果我们要找到对话的另一半，我们不仅要读文本，还要读物体。)”可知，本文讲述仅仅依靠书面文本来讲述世界历史有局限性，想要更好的了解历史就要将文本和物品结合在一起。从而推断文章最有可能选自《100件物品中的世界史》。故选C。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了积极思考对人产生的各种益处，同时将积极思考者与悲观主义者相比较，分析两种人的差异。积极思维是应对困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Self-talk is a cnstant stream f thughts f a persn, wh is ften unaware and uncertain f sme events, phenmena, peple, r even the persn himself.(自我对话是一个人持续不断的想法，他常常对一些事件、现象、人，甚至是他自己都没有意识和不确定)”以及后文“Meanwhile, psitive thinking can help t stp negative self-talks and start t frm a psitive view n an issue.(同时，积极的思考可以帮助停止消极的自我对话，开始形成对一个问题的积极的观点)”由此可知，上文对自我对话进行了定义，后文则提到了积极的思考可以有助于停止消极的自我对话，可知本句是在说明消极的自我对话对人的不良影响。后文中negative self-talks可对应到B选项中Negative self-talk。故B选项“消极的自言自语会损害自信，降低自尊”符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Peple wh think psitively demnstrate increased life spans, lwer rates f depressin and anxiety, better physical and psychlgical health, reduced risks f death frm heart prblems. Psitive thinking als cntributes t ne's ability t deal with prblems and hardships.(积极思考的人寿命更长，抑郁和焦虑率更低，身心更健康，死于心脏问题的风险更低。积极的思考也有助于一个人处理问题和困难的能力)”由此可知，后文提到了积极思考对人的益处，后文中Peple wh think psitively以及Psitive thinking可对应到D选项中Psitive thinking。故D选项“积极思考对身心有几个有益的影响”符合语境，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Fr example, researchers have fund that in the case f a crisis accmpanied by strng emtins, such as a natural disaster, psitive thinking can prvide a srt f buffer against depressin and anxiety.(例如，研究人员发现，当危机伴随着强烈的情绪时，比如自然灾害，积极的思考可以为抑郁和焦虑提供一种缓冲)”可知，后文举出的例子说明了积极思考可以让一个人在面临危机时，保持冷静。故C选项“它帮助一个人在困难的情况下保持头脑清醒和自信”符合语境，故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Resilient peple wh think psitively tend t treat every prblem as a challenge, a chance fr imprvement f any kind, r as an pprtunity fr persnal grwth. Pessimists, n the cntrary, tend t perceive prblems as a surce f additinal stress.(积极思考的、有韧性的人倾向于把每一个问题都看作是一个挑战，一个改进的机会，或者一个个人成长的机会。相反，悲观主义者倾向于将问题视为额外压力的来源)可知，上文在将积极思考者与悲观主义者相比较，本句应承接上文，进一步解释说明悲观主义者在解决问题时一些性格特点。上文Pessimists可对应到G选项中They。故G选项“他们常常在试图解决问题之前就感到气馁，即使是很小的问题”符合语境，故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“In cnclusin, psitive thinking is a pwerful and effective tl fr dealing with hard times and imprving the quality f ne's life. It desn't have anything t d with ignrant ptimism when an individual refuses t ntice a prblem. (总之，积极思考是应对困难时期和提高个人生活质量的强大而有效的工具。当一个人拒绝注意到一个问题时，它与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系)”可知，本句承接上文进一步说明一个人拒绝注意到问题的影响，它与无知的乐观主义没有任何关系，也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适。故A选项“它也不会引起任何严重的情绪不适”符合语境，故选A。
