“I've gt a different card,” I said, and fished arund fr that ne, beginning t sweat. The machine wanted a PIN, but nt the ne I suggested.
“Start ver,”I clicked, intending t try the first card again.
Oh n. I had t start all ver again.
“I'm srry,“ I said, lking back, sheepish. “I guess I dn't knw what I'm ding. Yu all g ahead.”
“Dn't give up,” said the nice man behind me.“ Try it again. We're all friends here, right?”
Smiles were blming(绽放)all dwn the line. I tried again, clicked with deliberatin and sincerity, and intrduced my credit card as thugh I were presenting it t the queen. Finally, I made it!
I culdn't have been happier. Everyne burst int applause. Cmfrt and jy!

The pilt’s apprpriate behavir set the tne and ensured n ne gt angry. It reminded me f the beauty f “elegance under pressure”. Thierry Beyeler was a pilt with Swiss Internatinal Air Lines, fr which he flew varius aircraft. During the delay, I had the chance t speak t Beyeler and learn abut his experience as a pilt.
He said, “Flying is a bit like eating chclate. I lve every flight. Hwever, when yu have16 flights in fur days, then that’s t much chclate fr me...”. As fr crisis situatins, he did have a few: “Once, I had an engine failure, but that’s rare, and we handled it. Anther time, we had smke in the cabin (机舱), and we went t land quickly. In the end, it was just the air cnditining having sme prblems…” He believes, “As Murphy’s law puts it, ‘What can g wrng will g wrng’. S think abut it and try t prepare mentally.”
Beyeler cntinued, “Cmpared with cars, a flight is a high-risk envirnment; it’s nt like riding a bike. Even if there was a minr errr, it culd have fatal cnsequences. Every pilt is quite prfessinal in the field. But it is the strng mindset in the chas that plays the key rle. Humans intervene in technical systems t slve prblems cuntless times a day, and it wuld be dangerus if the pilt became nervus and frgt that.”
I’ve been tuched by Beyeler’s wrds. I understand that human factrs, including cnfidence, curage, respnsibility, and emtinal intelligence, are becming mre and mre imprtant in tday’s wrld.

1．细节理解题。根据第四段“Later, Ch realized her secnd passin: learning mre abut her Asian, American culture. An elective in cllege that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brught an emtinal mment fr her. “S many emtins came up that I just culdn’t articulate. It was like this mix f anger, f relief, empwerment, sadness...” Ch said. (后来，Ch意识到她的第二个爱好：更多地了解她的亚洲和美国文化。大学里一门教授亚裔美国移民经历的选修课让她动情。“太多的情绪涌上心头，我无法表达。就像是愤怒、解脱、赋权、悲伤的混合体……” Ch说。)”可知，Ch在大学选修的一门课激发了她对亚裔美国文化的兴趣。故选B。
2．词句猜测题。根据后文“It was like this mix f anger, f relief, empwerment, sadness...(就像是愤怒、解脱、赋权、悲伤的混合体……)”可知，Jasmine Ch的情绪很复杂，所以无法表达，推知articulate为“表达”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。
3．细节理解题。根据第五段“Ch realized she culd cmbine these tw passins t educate thers abut influential Asian American peple and shwcase matters that were imprtant t her. With her nline bakery, she designed ckie prtraits abut peple she admired and psted the images n Instagram. “I dn’t think I ever really knew hw t cmmunicate these stries until I fund ckies,” Ch said. “Ckies are just s disarming. Wh desn’t like ckies?” (Ch意识到，她可以把这两种激情结合起来，教育其他人了解有影响力的亚裔美国人，并展示对她来说很重要的事情。在她的网上面包店，她设计了她崇拜的人的饼干肖像，并将这些照片发布在Instagram上。“在我发现饼干之前，我一直不知道如何传达这些故事，”Ch说。“饼干真的很让人放松。谁不喜欢饼干？”)”可知，Ch认为饼干是促进亚裔美国文化的有用工具是因为许多人喜欢饼干。故选D项。
4．推理判断题。根据第六段“One ckie that Ch has identified with deeply is ne she made f Gerge Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.(有一种饼干让Ch产生了深刻的共鸣，那就是她在20世纪70年代以夏威夷活动家Gerge Helm的肖像制作的饼干。)”以及第七段“Ch said, “Gerge Helm was ne f thse activists wh really represented the spirituality f the native Hawaiians and the cnnectin t their land, t nature.”(Ch说，“Gerge Helm是那些真正代表夏威夷原住民精神以及与他们的土地和自然联系的活动家之一。”)”可推断，作者在文中提到Gerge Helm的目的是为了用其肖像饼干来展示Ch专注于（传递）什么知识。故选B项。
5．主旨大意题。根据最后一段““Instead f trying t think f smething new and riginal, just lk inward and see, maybe there’s already a passin r a lve that yu have,” Ch said. “Use that fr smething that will serve the wrld in a better way.”(“不要试图去想一些新的和原创的东西，只要向内看，看看，也许你已经有了一种激情或爱，”Ch说。“用它来做一些能更好地为世界服务的事情。”)”及全文可知，Jasmine Ch通过自己的爱好，更好地为世界服务。所以D项“Thrw yurself int yur inner wrld fr a better ne. (投身于你的内心世界，以发现一个更好的世界)”能最好地概括文章中的信息。故选D项。

【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在生活中遭遇磨难时在遛狗中悟出生活的哲理——尽管有时生活艰难、前途难测，但人生总有希望和快乐。
6．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“When my daughter was ten, she and my husband Je, were united in their desire fr a dg. (我女儿十岁的时候，她和我丈夫乔都想要一只狗。)”可知，作者的丈夫和他们的女儿都想养只狗，结合下文中的 ““But we’ll d it.” “Really? Yu’re ging t walk the dg? Feed the dg? Bathe the dg?” “Yes, we prmise.””(“但我们会这么做的。”“真的吗?你要去遛狗?喂狗?给狗洗澡?“是的，我们保证。”)”可知，他们承诺遛狗，喂狗，给狗洗澡，由此可知，他们很想养一只狗，结合划线句子后的“because I have n time t take care f a dg.(因为我没时间照顾狗。)”可知，作者没时间照顾狗，综合以上信息可知，作者丈夫和孩子很想养狗，并且承诺自己照顾狗，而作者因为没有时间照顾狗，所以不同意养狗，故划线句子的意思应与“不同意养狗”相近。故选D项。
7．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Quickly, we develped smething f a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合). She’d lk at me with thse sad brwn eyes, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I wuld understand, which, strangely. I almst always did. (很快，我们发展成为一种心灵融合。她会用那双悲伤的棕色眼睛看着我，流露出她的需要，然后等待，相信我会理解，奇怪的是。我几乎总是理解。)”可知，作者与这只狗形成了一种默契，作者几乎总会理解这只狗的需要，根据第四段中的“Even s, I’d balk (畏缩，犹豫) silently as she and I walked. Nt fair. (即便如此，当我和她一起走的时候，我还是会默默地犹豫。不公平的。)”可知，作者在遛狗的时候，还是会犹豫，内心中觉得不公平，由此可知，作者即使喜欢上了这只狗，但是仍不情愿去遛狗。故选C项。
8．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“One day my husband’s dctr uttered an unthinkable wrd: leukemic (白血病). I spent eight t ten hurs a day with Je in the hspital, ding anything and everything I culd t ease his discmfrt. Every part f my life changed; n part f my ld rutine remained (一天，我丈夫的医生说出了一个难以想象的词：白血病。我每天在医院陪乔8到10个小时，尽我所能减轻他的不适。我生活的每一部分都改变了；我以前的日常生活一点也没有了。)”可知，作者丈夫生病后，作者每一天要花费8到10小时陪伴他，以前的日常生活发生了很大的变化，由此可推断，从此之后作者不再有时间遛狗，所以，作者的丈夫生病是故事的转折点。故选C项。
9．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“The mrning walk befre I headed t the hspital was a quiet, peaceful time t gather my thughts befre the day’s medical drama unflded. The evening walk was a time t shake ff the day’s upsets and let the wrry tracks in my head g t white nise. (在去医院之前的早晨散步是一段安静祥和的时光，我可以在一天的医疗闹剧上演之前整理思绪。傍晚散步的时候，我可以摆脱白天的烦恼，让脑海中的烦恼变成白噪音。)”可知，作者去医院照顾丈夫前遛狗，能感受到安静祥和的时光，让作者整理思绪，在傍晚遛狗能让作者摆脱白天的烦恼，由此可知，在作者丈夫住院时遛狗，给了作者精神上的安慰。故选A项。
10．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As I watch her chase a squirrel, thrwing her whle being int the here-and-nw f an exercise that has never nce ended in victry, she reminded me, t, that n matter hw harsh the present r unpredictable the future, there’s almst always sme measure f jy t be extracted frm the mment. (当我看着她追逐一只松鼠，把她的全部精力投入到一场从未以胜利告终的当前的运动中时，她也提醒我，无论现在多么严酷，未来多么不可预测，几乎总有某种程度的快乐可以从当下提取出来。)”可知，作者见到狗把所有的精力投入到一场从未以胜利告终的运动中时，意识到无论现在多么严酷，无论未来多么难以预料，还是可以从此刻中得到某种程度的快乐，由此可知，作者在本文中所要传达的是在面对困难的时候，我们仍然有享受的时刻。故选C项。

12．词句猜测题。根据划线词前的“He says that his bdy can nly tlerate abut 20 minutes in the freezing waters”可知，他说他的身体在冰冷的水中只能忍受大约20分钟，此处承接上文，是说20分钟后他的身体就会被冻僵，动弹不得，由此可知划线词指代的就是“他的身体”，故选A。
13．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Dctrs and Pugh cautin that ne must receive mnths f training t swim in such cld waters.(医生和普格警告说，要在如此寒冷的水域游泳，必须接受数月的训练)”可知，普格建议人们在冰冷的海水中游泳之前要做好充分的准备，故选A。

In 2015, he swam in the Bay f Whales in Antarctica’s Rss Sea as part f his successful campaign t help set up a marine reserve there.(2007年，他为了引起人们对气候变化导致的北极冰层融化的关注，在北极游了1公里。2015年，他在南极洲罗斯海的鲸鱼湾游泳，这是他成功帮助在那里建立海洋保护区的活动的一部分)”可推知，Lewis Pugh有环保意识且意志力坚定，故选D。
15．主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“On Nvember 7, Lewis Pugh cmpleted a ne-kilmeter swim in the freezing waters f King Edward Cve, ff Suth Gergia in Antarctica.(11月7日，刘易斯·普格在南极洲南乔治亚州附近的爱德华王湾冰冷的海水中完成了一公里的游泳)”及第二段中的“Lewis says, “I ask wrld leaders t d everything they can t prtect ur ceans. Smetimes the steps they need t take are difficult and unppular. If I’m asking them t be curageus, I must als be.

17．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“With the wind and waves, we were ging in the directin f the whirlpl(漩涡). We were hpeless. Nthing culd save us. I felt sick, as if I was falling frm a muntain tp in a dream.(随着风浪，我们正朝着漩涡的方向前进。我们绝望了。什么也救不了我们。我感到恶心，就像在梦中从山顶上掉下来一样)”可推知，当作者朝着漩涡的方向前进时感到绝望。故选B。

(我清楚地看到漩涡里还有其他物体——树和桶。过了一会儿，我对漩涡本身产生了好奇。然后我做了三个重要的观察。首先，躯体越大，坠落得越快；第二种情况是，在两个距离相等的物体之间，圆形物体下落的速度较慢；第三种情况是，在两个同样大小的物体之间，形状像管子的物体下降得更慢。于是，我把自己绑在一个木桶上，帮助自己漂浮起来。我试图让我哥哥明白，但他太害怕了，呆在沉重的船上)”可知，作者将自己绑在木桶上的原因是因为根据作者的观察木桶下落的速度要慢得多。故选C。
19．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“S I tied myself t a barrel t help me flat, I tried t make my brther understand, but he was t frightened and stayed in the heavy bat. Withut waiting, I jumped int the sea t try and escape.(我试图让我哥哥明白，但他太害怕了，呆在沉重的船上。没有等待，我跳进海里试图逃跑)”可推知，作者的哥哥非常惊慌害怕。故选A。
