After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job.The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start anew day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I had a speaking engagement, I always came out of the experience with a wonderful, energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting difference and transform other people’s lives.Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.4．(2.5分)Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president?A．To arrange an interview.B．To make an advertisement.C．To employ more clerks.D．To get a position.5．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2?A．Tolerant and ambitious.B．Demanding and successful.C．Tough and competent.D．Optimistic and agreeable.6．(2.5分)Why did the author leave Merrill Lynch?A．He hoped to relive college life.B．He wanted to influence others’ lives.C．He had an engagement.D．His investment was not satisfying.7．(2.5分)Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Speaking Makes a Satisfying JobB．Challenge Your Career ChoiceC．Hard Work Pays OffD．Dare to Take Risks(本题10分)Scientists in the Netherlands have trained bees to identify COVID-19 through their sense of smell, according to a press release from Wageningen University. The research was conducted on more than 150 bees in Wageningen University’s bio-veterinary research laboratory.The scientists trained the bees by giving them a treat — a sugar-water solution — every time they were exposed to the scent of a mink (貂) infected with COVID-19. Each time the bees were exposed to a non-infected sample, they wouldn’t get a reward. Eventually, the bees could identify an infected sample within a few seconds — and would then stick out their tongues like clockwork to collect the sugar water.Bees aren’t the first animals to detect COVID-19 by scent. Researchers have also trained dogs to distinguish between positive and negative COVID-19 samples from human saliva (唾液) or sweat with fairly high levels of accuracy. A small German study found that dogs could identify positive COVID-19 samples 94% of the time. That’s because metabolic changes from the coronavirus make an infected person’s bodily fluids smell slightly different from those of a non-infected person. But researchers still aren’t sure whether animals are the best bet for sniffing out COVID-19 cases outside the lab.“No one is saying they can replace a PCR machine, but they could be very promising,” Holger Volk, a neurologist, told Nature. PCR machines are what lab technicians use to process standard COVID-19 swab tests. At the very least, certain animals could be useful for identifying COVID-19 in places or countries in which high-tech laboratory equipment is scarce or inaccessible.Wageningen scientists are working on a prototype of a machine that could automatically train multiple bees at once. Then bees can use their skills to test for coronavirus aerosols (气溶胶) in the surrounding environment.8．(2.5分)How did the researchers teach the bees to identify COVID-19?A．By offering bees some rewards.B．By infecting bees with COVID-19.C．By raising bees with sugar water.D．By exposing bees to infected humans.9．(2.5分)Why are dogs capable of finding out negative COVID-19 samples?A．For dogs can sniff out hidden virus of the samples.B．For dogs can tell the different smell of the samples.C．For dogs can feel metabolre changes of the samples.D．For dogs can distinguish saliva from sweat of the samples.10．(2.5分)What is the follow-up task of Wageningen scientists?A．To breed more multiple bees.B．To detect coronavirus aerosols.C．To help underdeveloped countries.D．To develop a new type of machine.11．(2.5分)Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．A New Way to Cure COVID-19 DiseaseB．Bees: Well-trained COVID-19 DetectorsC．Bees’ Extremely Accurate Sense of SmellD．The Best Method of Identifying COVID-19(本题10分)According to the Study Abroad Trend Report for 2018, conducted by Chinese education website Eol. cn, the number of Chinese students who study abroad to gain a bachelor’s degree or below is rising, and the current group of Chinese overseas students is younger than those in the past years.Du Xiying, a Beijing-based study-abroad agent, has first-hand experience working with this younger crop of students. “When I started this job some 10 years ago, almost all cases were filed by college graduates trying to apply for a master's degree in the US, UK, Australia and Canada,” said Du. “Now quite a number of my clients are high school graduates, and my company even transferred some experienced consultants to cover the increasing need of college-bound Chinese students.” However, in the eyes of Du, most of them are not ready to put themselves in a completely different context at such a young age. Although there are no statistics available, according to Du’s observations, college-bound high school graduates from China fall into two groups. There is a group of students from well-off families, with good grades and excellent command of English, and there is another group who did not do very well in their college entrance exams, so they seek to study abroad as a solution to their troubles. “In recent years, with the financial ability of Chinese families growing with the country's development, buying into college is very common,” said Du.Complaints come from both destination schools in the US and parents of students. Going abroad at a young age needs a great deal of discipline(自律),and college students don't usually live at home-stays so they are free from management. A considerable quantity of students have ended with being dismissed(开除).As to the dismissal issue, Du said it’s inevitable due to the large number of students crowding abroach.   It’s just not easy to ensure quality. But she does think both students and parents should be responsible for their own investment of both time and money. “The worst case is that a family throws out 1 million yuan for their child to come home with nothing, not even fluent English,”said Du.12．(2.5分)What change is mentioned in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?A．The age of Chinese students studying abroad is getting younger.B．More Chinese students studying abroad are getting a master’s degree.C．Excellent students prefer studying abroad to taking college entrance exams.D．Chinese students’ grades are improving due to professional consultants’ help.13．(2.5分)Which opinion does Du probably agree with?A．Most young students are qualified to study abroad.B．Buying into schools could be a good solution to students’ problems.C．Destination schools should be responsible for the management of students.D．Parents and students should be cautious about the decision to study abroad.14．(2.5分)Why do some students fail in their oversea study?A．They are not financially supported.B．They are rejected by destination schools.C．They can't live up to their parents’ expectations.D．They can't live and study abroad independently.15．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “inevitable” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Can’t be avoided.B．Can’t be ignored.C．Can’t be realized.D．Can’t be predicted.二、七选五(共12.5分)(本题12.5分)In the workplace, one of the most important skills to possess is good communication. 16．    (2.5分); it means they are able to listen to others, as well as successfully convey their own ideas and opinions. While listening and speaking are important in effective communication, there are other skills that are vital to good communication in the workplace.17．   (2.5分) . This means not only listening with your ears but also being able to comprehend what the person is saying. Giving co-workers your full attention when they are conveying an idea can go a long way in building relationships and furthering progress.Having empathy （同理心）is very useful in communication. 18．    (2.5分) Put yourself in the other person's position instead of judging or critizing based on your own beliefs. While this may be difficult for some, empathizing with others can be very helpful to keep in tune with your own emotions and ideas.Encouraging others will heighten confidence and appreciation in the workplace. 19．   (2.5分), you help others feel they are wanted, welcomed and respected by co-workers. People are much more likely to spare no effort if they know they are valued.Body language can greatly impact how others treat you in the workplace. Being extroverted（外向的） and friendly lets co-workers know you are open to hearing their opinions about projects or new designs.20．    (2.5分) . Be sure to maintain eye contact the majority of the time you are speaking with someone, and use hand gestures to help you form clearer thoughts. Smiling offers encouragement and creates a noticeable difference in how you are treated. People who smile more are seen as more approachable and trustworthy.While many of these good communication skills occur naturally in individuals, some may need to be learned and practiced in order to become second nature.A．While communication is importantB．By praising and offering words of encouragementC．Praising co-workers helps communications go smoothlyD．It involves seeing things from the point of view of othersE．People value co-workers who can communicate effectivelyF．Being able to listen to others is vital in the communication processG．Body language is a large part of being empathetic and encouraging三、完形填空(共15分)(本题15分)Health Care Workers Getting Panic ButtonsHundreds of health care workers at Cox Medical Center in Missouri will soon be equipped with personal panic buttons, following over a year of increased violence against staff members.

The entire number of attacks on staff by patients has risen from 40 in 2019 to 123 in 2020, and total injuries rocketed from 17 to 78.          30         , even those numbers scarcely paint the full picture. Angie Smith, the medical center’s patient safety facilitator, said that many workplace violence events went         31        because “staff don’t feel like they will be supported or don’t feel like they will be able to do anything about it.” “The         32        parts of being in health care now are not only being able to give excellent care to your patients”, she said, “but also feeling         33        yourself as their caregiver.”        34        , workplace violence in medical centers deserved our attention even before the pandemic.

One day while she was driving home from the café, a dirty puppy in the road caught Helen’s attention. After consideration, Helen and her husband eventually decided to take him home. And they later named him Ollie.Two years later, Ollie had grown into a large ball of fur. Ollie was Helen’s world, and she hated it whenever someone addressed him as her rescue dog. Helen never went out without Ollie. One day, they were hanging out together outside a supermarket, unprepared for what was coming their way.“Hey boy, wait in the car. I’ll be back, alright?” Helen said as she patted Ollie on his head. She locked him in the car and headed to the supermarket because Ollie hated crowded places and never accompanied Helen to the stores.Moments later, there was a sudden outburst of chaos. Helen was busy shopping and had no idea it was raining heavily outside. The whole area began to flood unexpectedly. People rushed to every open store they could find for shelter.12-year-old boy Matt was looking for a place to run to safety when he spotted people running to the supermarket nearby. He had no time to think and ran after them.Matt hurried upstairs with the rest. Suddenly, Helen noticed the situation and was alarmed. “What happened?” she asked a man and screamed at the top of her lungs when she learned of the flood. All she could think of was Ollie trapped in the car.“OLLIE..., I left my dog in the car,” she cried, running toward the window. “My dog is trapped in the car. Somebody, please...”Matt looked outside and saw the car Helen pointed to was in the flash flood. Helen was frightened to go out because she didn’t know how to swim. Matt understood Helen’s anxiety and ran to her pet’s rescue.He grabbed an iron rod from the corner and raced downstairs. “Hey kid, where are you going? You will drown,” someone shouted. But Matt turned a deaf ear to him because he was determined to save Ollie. In the meanwhile, some people placed a call to the rescue center.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
