24 years ago Jim Ritter was a typical, active high school student. At age sixteen his life changed forever, when Jim was working at his father’s logging business in the small town of Montesano, Washington. One Friday, his dad woke him at 4:30 am to work. Having finished the morning work, Jim climbed into the grapple (吊车) for an after-lunch nap. It was then that Jim’s father started the engines, not realizing that his son lay inside, asleep.
“Oh my God!” Jim’s father cried out. “I broke his neck!”
Immediately, Jim’s dad called for help on the C.B radio. A logging company helicopter heard the call for help and picked Jim up, taking him to the hospital in Olympia, sixty-five miles away. It was truly a miracle! His father’s logging business was in the middle of nowhere, and helicopters hardly ever flew around there. After surgery, Jim was left paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the neck down. Nine weeks later, he was moved to an orthopedic (矫形的) hospital in Seattle where he became an inspiration to the nurses and other patients with his optimism and good sense of humor.
One day a volunteer came by Jim’s room and asked if he would like to try painting pictures. “I can’t,” Jim told her. “I’m paralyzed.” However, having been shown a video in which a paralyzed girl was drawing by holding a pen between her teeth, Jim decided to give it a try: If that girl could do it, so could he!
It was awkward and difficult at first. Jim practiced day after day, and gradually his drawings turned from amateur sketches into beautiful scenes. Before the accident, Jim had never drawn.
Today, Jim lets nothing stand in his way. He is able to support himself by holding art shows throughout the country. How easy it is to justify giving up on our dreams with a ready excuse. “It’s too difficult.” “I’m not that smart.” “I don’t have time.” Jim Ritter is a living proof that no excuse is good enough.
24. What do we know about Jim on that particular Friday when he was sixteen?
A. He overslept. B. He got crushed.
C. He operated the machine wrongly. D. He worked the whole day.
25. What do the underlined words “in the middle of nowhere” probably mean?
A. Close to shut-down. B. Far away from the airport.
C. In a remote place. D. In the process of operation.
26. What eventually made Jim turn to painting in the hospital?
A. His previous experience in art. B. The volunteer’s encouragement.
C. A paralyzed girl’s amazing works. D. The drawing scene of a paralyzed girl.
27. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. A man’s recovery from an accident. B. A man’s rising from hardship.
C. People’s care for the disabled. D. A paralyzed girl’s inspiring story.
C
To figure out if we can die of boredom, we first have to understand what boredom is. For help, I called James Danckert, a psychologist who studies boredom at the University of Waterloo in Canada. “A lot of people think about being bored as being lazy. And it’s absolutely not that,” he says. “Bored people want to be engaged with their world, eager to do something satisfying and exciting. But any attempt to do so is failing.”
That means boredom is usually very upsetting. And it can have physical consequences. In one of his experiments, Danckert made people extremely bored by showing them a video of two people hanging clothes to dry. He found that when people got bored, their hearts beat faster and their levels of a hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) went up, compared to when they watched another video that made them sad. These physical changes were signs that boredom was stressing them out. “It’s not like having a full-on panic attack,” Danckert says. But it’s certainly enough to make boredom unpleasant.
Let’s come back to if boredom can kill you. Back in the 1980s, scientists asked people who worked for the British government a whole bunch of questions, including how bored they felt in their daily lives. The study tracked the participants over time. When any one of them died, the survey recorded the cause of death. In 2010, two researchers matched up these causes of death with the participants’ level of boredom. It turned out that people who said they were more bored were also more likely to have died of heart disease. “We know that prolonged exposure to stress is bad for your health,” Danckert says. A single boring day can’t kill you. But if you’re always bored, the stress could add up into something dangerous.
“Oh no,” you might be thinking. “School is boring, my friends are boring, everything is boring! What’s going to happen to me?” Don’t worry, Danckert says: “As you get older, you get less bored,” mainly because you gain more independence and have to get busy to achieve your long-term goals. And trust me: that’s anything but boring.
28.According to James Danckert, people feel bored because ________.
A.they are too lazy to do anything B.they can’t gain excitement in life
C.they are too frightened to have a try D.they can’t fully understand boredom
29.What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A.Doing housework will make people bored.
B.People’s heart rate increases with boredom.
C.Physical changes can lead to extreme boredom.
D.Watching something sad is a boring experience.
30.What does the underlined word “prolonged” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Continued. B.Repeated. C.Sudden. D.Active.
31.What does Danckert recommend to save people from boredom?
A.Depending on friends. B.Setting long-term goals.
C.Keeping yourself occupied. D.Trusting people around you.
D
There is an “environmental silver lining” as a result of the corona virus (冠状病毒) —carbon emissions have been reduced by more than 4%, many wildlife markets around the world have been closed and air quality in some places has slightly improved, Dave Ford, founder of the environmental literacy organization Soul Buffalo, says.
However, because of an increase in pandemic-related, non-recyclable materials such as take-out plastic containers and masks, 30% more waste has entered our oceans, he notes. “There’re 129 billion facemasks being made every month—enough that you could cover the entire country of Switzerland with facemasks at the end of this year if trends continue,” he says. “And a lot of these masks are ending up in the water.” The masks look like jellyfish—in other words, food to turtles and other wildlife creatures, thus, attractive to those animals and then endangering them, he says.
Very little of the plastic we use is actually recyclable. Sharon Lerner of The Intercept told Here & Now last year that “the vast majority of plastic that has ever been produced—79%—has actually ended up in landfills or burned, but not remade into new products.” Even if the plastics we have can be reused, Ford says recycling programs across the globe are facing severe budget cuts.
“We’re starting to see recycling programs stopped, waste picking communities operating at 50% or actually shutting down. They are the last line of defense between plastic and the environment,” he says.
Last year, Unilever planned to cut its use of non-recycled plastics in half by 2025. In an interview with Here & Now, Richard Slater, Unilever’s chief research and development officer, drew on the industry argument that plastic packaging is lighter, which means less shipping and therefore fewer dangerous emissions that cause climate change.
Yes, plastics are lightweight and can cut down on fuel spending. But on the other hand, plastic waste is being found in every aspect of life—even in the deepest ocean.
28.What does “environmental silver lining” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.An environmental organization.
B.The closure of some wildlife markets.
C.Benefits on environment from the corona virus.
D.The decrease of carbon dioxide emissions.
29.Why are facemasks attractive to some sea creatures?
A.There is a continuous shortage of food in the ocean.
B.They contain certain unique chemicals.
C.Many sea creatures like to chase plastic by nature.
D.They look like the sea creatures’ food.
30.What can we learn about the plastic waste?
A.The majority of it is buried or burned.
B.Most of it is recycled into new products.
C.129 billion facemasks end up in the ocean.
D.There is enough budget for plastic recycling.
31.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A.Plastic can cut down fuel spending
B.The corona virus has caused more ocean plastic
C.Recycling programs are shutting down
D.Solutions to ocean plastic pollution are being explored

The Spotlight Effect
Have you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake? Well, here’s some good news: it’s likely that no one even noticed.
36 We have this experience not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well. Every time we do something that is a little different from what we usually do, we may assume that everyone around us will notice. The spotlight effect might happen when we make a mistake in a game, have a bad hair day, or give a terrible answer in class. 37 In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.
The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. 38
The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people. Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people. 39 If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions, then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.
Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. Next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. 40 If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self-conscious.
A. However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle.
B. That’s why fewer people notice the embarrassing circumstances they encounter.
C. Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself.
D. The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do.
E. What you can do at this moment is to ignore them.
F. We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.
G. It can also appear when we score a big goal, ask someone on a date, or do a good deed.

In Senior Two, a difficulty I met with is that I felt extremely nervous whenever taken a test. That could cause me to fail to solve some problems I was able to work them out after the test. I went to my teachers and classmates with help, and they told me to calm down and believe in myself. Thanks to their constantly encouragement, I later made great progresses in my tests and gained much confidence.
As matter of fact, we often meet with difficulties in our life. To deal with these difficulties, we are supposed to find out the causes first. Beside, consulting our teachers and classmates also contribute to overcoming the difficulties. Most importantly, never losing heart.

My name is Bob, and I’ve come to tell you about the York Dance Band. Now, if you want to have a good family party, like a wedding or an important birthday, where you want all your guests to dance after dinner, then book a live band. We play all kinds of dance music.
The band is made up of all sorts of different people — none of us full-time musicians. We have a doctor, two English teachers, a retired journalist… and the band leader owns a hotel. Although none of us has any musical training at all, what we all share is a love of playing this sort of music as a hobby.
The band has been together for ten years, but I only joined six years ago. Before I joined, the band didn’t have a separate singer, but they realized they needed one. They chose me because I’ve always enjoyed getting up and singing in front of an audience. I’ve been in a band before — I played guitar rather badly in one.
We sometimes meet to practice in a room behind a restaurant. Occasionally we play at weddings and other parties, but we also perform every Friday evening on a cruise boat that takes tourists up and down the river in York. Everyone has a very good time. In fact, I’ll just play a little now…

It was then that Jim’s father started the engines, not realizing that his son lay inside, asleep.”(一个星期五,他爸爸早上4:30叫醒他去上班。做完早上的工作后,吉姆爬进吊车,午饭后小睡一会儿。就在那时,吉姆的父亲启动了发动机,没有意识到他的儿子躺在里面睡着了。)和第二段内容““Oh my God!” Jim’s father cried out. “I broke his neck!””(“哦,我的上帝!”吉姆的父亲喊道。“我弄断了他的脖子!”)可知,吉姆十六岁那年的那个星期五,当他在吊车里午睡时,父亲启动了发动机,意外压伤了他的脖子,由此可知,吉姆十六岁那年的那个不寻常的星期五,他被压伤了。故选B项。
25. 词义猜测题。根据画线短语上文“A logging company helicopter heard the call for help and picked Jim up, taking him to the hospital in Olympia, sixty-five miles away.”(一架伐木公司的直升机听到求救声,把吉姆接了起来,把他送到65英里外的奥林匹亚的医院。)和下文“helicopters hardly ever flew around there”(直升机很少在那里飞行)可知,吉姆父亲的伐木生意在一个偏远的地方,离医院有65英里的距离,直升机很少在那里飞行,“In a remote place”意为“在一个偏远的地方”,能够表达画线短语在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。
26. 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“However, having been shown a video in which a paralyzed girl was drawing by holding a pen between her teeth, Jim decided to give it a try: If that girl could do it, so could he!”(然而,吉姆观看了一段视频,视频中一名瘫痪女孩用牙齿夹住一支笔画画,吉姆决定试一试:如果那个女孩能做到,他也能做到!)可知,吉姆起初认为自己不能画画,但观看了一段瘫痪女孩用牙齿夹住一支笔画画的视频后,他决定试一试,由此可知,一个瘫痪女孩的绘画场景最终让吉姆在医院里开始画画。故选D项。
27. 主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第三段关键句“After surgery, Jim was left paralyzed from the neck down.”(手术后,吉姆颈部以下瘫痪。)和最后一段关键句“Today, Jim lets nothing stand in his way. He is able to support himself by holding art shows throughout the country.”(现在,吉姆不让任何东西阻挡他。他能够通过在全国各地举办艺术展来养活自己。)可知,吉姆因为意外事故导致颈部以下瘫痪,但他没有放弃,在逆境中学习画画,最终能够通过在全国各地举办艺术展来养活自己,由此可知,这篇文章主要讲的是一个人从逆境中崛起的故事。故选B项。

28.细节理解题。根据第一段“ “A lot of people think about being bored as being lazy. And it’s absolutely not that,” he says. “Bored people want to be engaged with their world, eager to do something satisfying and exciting. But any attempt to do so is failing.” ”(“许多人把无聊认作为懒惰。绝对不是那样,”他说。“感到无聊的人想要参与到他们的世界中,渴望做一些令人满意和令人兴奋的事情。但是任何这样做的尝试都是失败的。”)可知,James Danckert认为人们感到无聊是因为在生活中没有令人兴奋的事。故选B。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段“He found that when people got bored, their hearts beat faster and their levels of a hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) went up, compared to when they watched another video that made them sad.”(他发现与看另一个让他们难过的视频相比,人们感到无聊的时候,他们的心跳更快,并且一种叫做皮质醇的激素水平上升。)可知,人们的心率会随着无聊感增加。故选B。
30.词义猜测题。根据第三段“A single boring day can’t kill you. But if you’re always bored, the stress could add up into something dangerous.”(无聊的一天不会杀害你。但是如果你总是感到无聊,压力会累加成危险的东西。)可知,持续累加的压力会让人处于危险中。这句话是对前句的解释,所以前句中“prolonged exposure to stress”应表示持续暴露在压力下,即prolonged为持续的意思。A. Continued持续的;B. Repeated重复的;C. Sudden突然的;D. Active积极的。故选A。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Don’t worry, Danckert says: “As you get older, you get less bored,” mainly because you gain more independence and have to get busy to achieve your long-term goals.”(别担心,Danckert说:“随着你年纪增长,你会变得不那么无聊,”主要因为你会更独立并且不得不忙于实现你的长期目标。)可知,忙起来就不会感到那么无聊。所以,Danckert建议人们要忙起来去摆脱无聊。故选C。

33.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The masks look like jellyfish—in other words, food to turtles and other wildlife creatures, thus, attractive to those animals and then endangering them, he says. (很多这样的口罩最后都掉进水里了。”他说, 这种口罩看起来像水母——换句话说, 是乌龟和其他野生动物的食物——因此, 吸引了这些动物, 然后又危及了它们。)”可知, 有些海洋生物喜欢口罩, 是因为它们很像海洋生物的食物。故选D。

35.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“But on the other hand, plastic waste is being found in every aspect of life—even in the deepest ocean. (但另一方面, 塑料垃圾正在生活的各个方面被发现, 甚至在最深的海洋。)”及全文内容可知, 文章介绍了新冠病毒的出现使得塑料产品使用增多, 导致海洋污染增加。所以“The corona virus has caused more ocean plastic(冠状病毒造成了海洋更多的塑料)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
