Backpacking through Africa, I always carried some food with me    16    I couldn’t find something to eat.

    I was     17    through a local market one day when I chanced upon a jar of   18    jam. I could find tins of apple and strawberry in every corner store but this was the    19    time I had seen peach. I took it.

    For the next few weeks, when I was feeling the need for a little    20   , I would carefully    21    the lid and spoon a bit on to a biscuit. Mmm, delicious. I didn’t    22    it with anybody. It sat safely in my    23   , taken out on only special    24   .

    One cold and cloudy afternoon, while I was waiting for a local bus, it started to rain. Everybody scattered for    25    and so did I. But I was already wet through so I quickly searched through my pack for some    26    clothes.

    In my hurry to    27    further discomfort, I forgot that the jar of jam was    28    in my clothing. One forceful yank（猛拉）and my    29    jar of jam crashed to the concrete ground, smashing into pieces.

    I was so sad that I almost cried. And then, in the corner of my eye, I noticed an old woman in rags    30   . Without hesitating, she bent down and picked up the half of the jar that still looked    31   .

    Still     32   , she stuck two fingers into the jar, scooped out the    33   jam and placed it into her toothless mouth. Carefully, like fish bones, she    34    the pieces of glass. She studied the broken container    35    she was certain that there was nothing left. Then she left.

My bus arrived shortly after and, as we drove off, I wondered if the jam would taste the same to me.

第二部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

    The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to get better.

    As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the countries’ best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 Nation Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have very valuable collections of present art in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

    These recent movements were first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in Northern England during the early 1700s. He felt that artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

    A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold a regular exhibition of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients' waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.

    The effect is striking. Now in the passages and waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours, playful images and restful courtyards. The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

36. Some best artists have been gathered to ______.

A. pull down older hospitals and build up new ones

B. make the corners of the hospital buildings round

C. bring art into hospitals

D. help patients recover from illness

37. Peter Senior is ______.

A. one of the best artists in Britain

B. a pioneer in introducing art into hospitals

C. one of the young art school graduates

D. a kind painter who brings only his paintings into hospitals

38. From this text, we've learned that ______.

A. artists in Britain have completely lost their places in modern society

B. patients should be encouraged to learn art

C. hospitals in Britain should be changed into museums

D. art should be encouraged in Britain's hospitals

39. After the improvement of hospital environment, ______.

A. patients no longer need drugs to kill their pains

B. patients needn't buy any expensive drugs

C. patients need fewer pain killers when they are getting better after illness

D. patients can take fewer pills each time

40. It can be inferred from this text that ______.

A. the role of hospital environment is being recognized

B. hospital artists have done a lot for patients

C. art exhibitions in hospitals attract more audience than those in museums

D. hospitals in Britain look more beautiful than those in other countries

A Teacher’s Lifesaving Call

    In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Koch began what was only her second year as a first grade teacher in a virtual classroom.

    One September afternoon a few weeks into the school year, she received a call from Cynthia Phillips, who was having technical difficulties with her granddaughter’s tools for online learning.

    Koch immediately knew something was wrong with Phillips. The two women had spoken numerous times before, but Koch had never heard the grandmother sound quite like this. Her words were so jumbled that Koch could barely understand her, though she was able to make out that Phillips had fallen four times that day.

    Koch called her principal, Charlie Lovelady, who assured her that he would call and check on Phillips himself.

    Just like Koch, Lovelady could barely understand Phillips. He suspected she might be having a stroke - he recognized the signs from when his own father had suffered one. Lovelady was able to make out the word kids and immediately became concerned that Phillips’s two grandchildren, ages six and eight, were probably home alone with her - she  is  their primary guardian - and scared. Lovelady asked his office manager to send an ambulance to the grandmother’s home. Then Lovelady called two deans in the school district, to tell them what was going on, both of whom dropped everything and drove to the family’s home.

When they pulled up less than ten minutes later, the EMTs(急救人员) were treating Phillips while the two girls, looking visibly shaken, were outside with a neighbor.

The quick response from Koch and Lovelady saved Phillips’s life. She arrived at the hospital in time to get treatment and before chronic damage occurred.

“If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be here,” said Phillips from her hospital bed about a month after her stroke.

Thanks to an extended stay in the hospital, she has regained most of the movement throughout her body except for one hand and a portion of her mouth, which affects her speech.

41. When did the story happen?

A. When Koch was in her first grade.

B. When the grandchildren were having online classes.

C. When Lovelady was with his own father.

D. When the EMTs were giving medical help to Phillips.

42. Why did Koch know that Phillips was in trouble?

A. Because Phillips’s voice sounded strange.

B. Because Phillips had seldom called Koch.

C. Because Phillips spoke a strange language.

D. Because Koch could not hear very clearly.

43. How did Lovelady know that Phillips might be having a stroke?

A. By calling the hospital for advice.

B. By visiting Phillips in person.

C. By recognizing the signs he knew.

D. By asking the office workers for help.

44. The underlined word “chronic” in Paragraph 7 may best be replaced by ____.

A. minor            B. unknown            C. obvious        D. serious

45. What is one of the bad effects the stroke left on Phillips?

A. She could not move about properly.

B. She could not speak clearly.

C. She could not have meals properly.

D. She could not use her hands as before.

C

　Taste is such a subjective matter that we don’t usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone’s preference is that it’s one person’s opinion. But because the two big cola companies-Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola-are marketed so aggressively, we’ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.

 We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they’d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.

 We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them with four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants’ choices with what mere guesswork could have accomplished.

 Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly.

 Both groups did better than chance would predict, but nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.

46. According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to ________.

A. show that a person’s opinion about taste is mere guesswork

B. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

C. find out the role taste preference plays in a person’s drinking

D. reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers

47. The statistics recorded in the preference tests show that ________.

A. there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi

B. few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi

C. people’s tastes differ from one another

D. Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people’s two most favorite drinks

48. It is implied in the first paragraph that ________.

A. the competition between the two colas is very strong

B. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans

C. the purpose of taste test is to promote the sale of colas

D. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies

49. The underlined word “burnout” here refers to the state of ________.

A. being seriously burnt in the skin  

B. being badly damaged by fire 

C. being unable to burn for lack of fuel 

D. being unable to function because of too much use

50. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ________.

A. emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other

B. recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas

C. show that taste preference is highly subjective

D. argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy

There is a wide and deep choice of a career. Whether he’s a hand in construction or sitting behind the desk working on a computer, everyone has some ideas of what is an attractive career. However, making a career choice is not simply a matter of following a dream; for most people it means a lot of research and soul searching. It even requires working in some jobs where you find it isn’t for you. This can only help you focus on the right career. So there is no doubt that choosing the right career becomes one of the most important decisions of an individual’s life.

It used to be that one followed in the footsteps of their father or grandfather or took over the family business when it came to making a career choice. These days, a career path can start anywhere and then veer off into something totally different.

Career choices must be realistic and well thought out. It is not uncommon for people to start a career path and realize that they have made a terrible mistake, feeling as if it may be too late to turn around. Not only does a career choice concern your strongest skills and interest, it is also something that you will be doing continuously to bring in income. This is why a career choice can be such a personal decision. Formerly it used to be unusual for someone to change occupations or careers more than once or twice in a lifetime; it is now even more unusual to keep the same career during someone’s working life.

There are a great many resources in helping one choose the right profession. A number of websites offering tools such as career tests and information, educational resources, resume services and the kind can be found. While it is important to research one vocation and career, in this dynamic and changing economy and market place, keeping options open for several related career choices, or even self-employment, is more than intelligent.

51. What do you think can be the best title for this passage? (No more than 10 words)

52. According to the passage, why do some people force themselves to take up jobs they do not like? (No more than 10 words)

53. How did people choose careers in the past? (No more than 15 words)

54. The underlined phrase “veer off” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______. (No more than 5 words)

55. What is the author’s advice to career seekers according to this passage? (No more than 15 words)
