I've been writing since befre I culd write. As a kid, I dictated stries t my parents. Abut 12years ag, I was living in New Yrk City and pursuing a master in creative writing. Fr years I'd been suffering visin disrder, but in New Yrk my symptms wrsened. I became unable t read r write fr any cnsiderable length f time. I tried visin therapy(疗法），an verhead prjectr, a special pair f glasses-all in vain.
Eventually, I discvered a cmputer prgram fr the visually challenged. As I typed, my wrds were read alud by an autmated vice. With my screen dimmed t black, I relied entirely n audi feedback t knw what I had written.
Facing the blank page is wrrying, but facing the black page is wrse. The dark screen is a sinkhle that swallws creative hpe. Sentences disappear int it like an astrnaut int a black hle. I managed t cmplete my master degree, but it tk me years t adapt t my new reality. The greatest barrier seemed t be the autmated vice, which was like a rbt parrt n my shulder, and I wanted nthing mre than t drive it away. If a pianist were frced t practice n an unturned pian, wuld it crrupt his ear ver time?
Of curse, I culd have quit writing and stpped making myself suffer. But it hnestly never ccurred t me-and I'm glad it didn't. Last year, after I tld my stry n the radi, I was cntacted by VcaliD, a Massachusetts-based cmpany that created a vice mdeled n my wn.
The first time I heard the vice they created, it is s clse t my wn that the tw are nearly indistinguishable. I've nly just begun using this new vice. My hpe is that this will restre a sense f slitude(孤独） t my writing prcess, allwing me easier access t that inner space where the imaginatin can take ver, and I can frget myself, and the real wrk can begin.
The black screen still exists-it always will-but the rbt parrt has taken wing.
4.What happened t the authr when pursuing a master degree in New Yrk?
A.His sight started t fail due t much reading.
B.His eyes culdn't sustain lng hurs f reading.
C.He had t drp ut due t his visin disrder.
D.He successfully vercame his visin prblem.
5.What still bthered the authr after he gt his master degree?
A. The untuned autmated vice.
B.The pet parrt n his shulder.
C.The cmputer with a dark screen.
D.The nise frm a neighbring pianist.
6.Hw did the authr feel when first hearing the vice created by VcaliD?
A. Excited.B.Annyed.C.Unmved.D.Relaxed.
7.What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. The autmated vice is t annying t bear.
B.The authr can restre his sight t nrmal.
C.The authr starts t enjy his writing again.
D.It is likely that the technlgy will imprve.

As a CEO f a startup, yu get used t hearing "n". Yu als face an endless cntinuatin f what feels like shcking crises, like nearly running ut f cash, lsing a key custmer, discvering a widespread prduct failure, r having t shut dwn peratins because f a glbal pandemic. But it tums ut that these disasters can actually be gd fr yu. In fact, I'm nt sure whether yu can innvate withut them. Here's what all ur crises have taught me.
It's gd t be uncmfrtable. We nce had a key custmer request-a battery capability that we'd never develped befre. The custmer made it clear that if we culdn't develp this capability ,they'd be less cnfident in ur prduct. We wrestled with the risks, nt least f which was the ptential embarrassment if we culdn't meet the custmer's needs. We knew we'd face many technical prblems if we tried t g int peratin. Yet we decided t try t satisfy the custmer, even if it wasn't bvius at first hw we culd get it dne. A few weeks later we delivered smething beynd what the custmer had asked fr, and we've since grwn this capability int a pwerful sales tl and ptential revenue stream-nt t mentin it strengthened ur relatinship with the custmer.
Shrt-term failure is gd. A few years ag, ur cmpany began t expand ur manufacturing utput in respnse t a custmer's need. In the prcess we discvered smething unusual we hadn't seen during smaller-scale prductin. Our team dived int failure analysis, and we finally put the prblem dwn t a single material within the battery. We'd used this material fr years, but nw we needed a replacement. Once we made that change, the battery quality and reliability greatly imprved.
It's kay t shw weakness. One f my hardest days as CEO. was the day when I fund ut I was pregnant. We were in the middle f raising a funding rund, and I had been traveling nnstp fr a year. Until that day, I had assumed that my rle as CEO was t display strength and cnfidence. With the munting pressure I was harder n myself than I needed t be, and nw I had the added stress f being pregnant. I decided t acknwledge t my team that I was breaking dwn. They united tgether and fund ways t perate mre smthly and cmmunicate mre effectively, supprting me t fcus my time n mst pressing gals. This gave me nt nly the space t plan fr the cmpany’s future, but als t prepare fr my wn new nrmal: leading while becming a first-time mther.
8. What des the underlined wrd "then" in Paragraph 1 refer t?
A:Frequent rejectins.B.Financial crises.
C.Glbal pandemics.D.Endless disasters.
9.What des the authr want t cnvey in Paragraph 27
A. Custmers' requests shuld be carefully evaluated.
B.Meeting challenges can bring abut extra benefits.
C.The cmpany shuld keep launching new prducts.
D.Innvatin is the nly way t win fierce cmpetitin.
10. Hw des the authr prve shrt-term failure is beneficial?
A. By drawing a cmparisn.B.By giving an example.
C.By challenging assumptins.D.By ding an experiment.
11. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A.Learn t let gB.Make it as a CEO
C.Think deep smetimesD.Make friends with crises

Wrried abut the effect reality TV is having n yur child? Yu aren't being verprtective-there's increasing evidence that these prgrammes can have a big impact n yung peple.
When ur children are yung, we tend t give careful thught t hw much TV they're watching and whether r nt it's gd fr them. But as they grw up, mst parents let their kids make mre independent chices abut their viewing.
Hwever, if yu've gt children, yu may want t stay attentive. A research indicates that sme reality TV shws can be every bit as damaging fr teenage girls as t many cartns. are fr kids－perhaps even wrse.
The truth is that reality TV is anything but reality-but that's nt necessarily what ur children
believe. A study fr the Girl Scut Research Institute in the US fund that eight ut f ten girls aged between 11 and 17 wh regularly watch reality shws believe these prgrammes describe real life.
In fact, much f reality TV is a heavily manipulated(操控）view f what's really happening, and the wrst f it strengthens the srt f female steretypes(刻板印象）wmen have spent decades trying t remve.
Many f the wmen n reality TV shws are acting ut lives as teenage mthers r drama queens. Strng, hard-wrking, purpseful yung wmen with ambitins beynd their lks are rare in these prgrammes. There's a widespread emphasis n the value f wmen being abut hw they lk and dress, which gives yung viewers the message that being a wman is all abut style and appearance, nt what yu d r stand fr.
Cultural critic and writer Jennifer Pzner describes reality TV as "the cntemprary backlash（抵制） against feminism". Imran Siddiguee, Directr f Scial Media and Outreach, is cncerned that these prgrammes shw the wrst steretypes f wmanhd and “nrmalize" them in what appear t be everyday settings."They ffer such a limited view f what it is t be a wman, and allver the wrld yung girls are addicted t it," he says.
Siddiquee des recgnize, hwever, that many girls themselves value reality TV. Sme say it encurages them t think abut situatins different frm their wn. They als pint ut that sme shws feature wmen running their wn successful businesses.
＂It's imprtant t acknwledge that there are sme useful elements in reality TV," Siddiquee says."But many girls need t be inspired t think mre critically abut sme aspects f these shws s they're nt manipulated by them and s their behaviur desn't change because f them."
We shuld encurage ur children t be critical thinkers and help them develp their media literacy. Whether reality TV is changing ur children's views, r whether they are attracted t prgrammes that agree with their beliefs, it's vital we recgnize that their viewing habits culd strengthen these unbalanced ideals.
12.Wh are likely t be the prime victims f reality TV shws?
A.Small children.B.Teenage girls.
C.New parents.D.Randm audience.
13. What is the prblem with a reality TV shw?
A. It is t true t life fr viewers t believe in.
B. Actrs in them lack a sense f innvatin.
C. Its cntents and views are rather artificial.
D.It can hardly cater fr teenage girls' taste.
14.As far as the authr is cncerned, what shuld reality TV shws present?
A.Genuine accunts f females and their wrk.
B.Ways t gain mre ppularity amng peers.
C.Distinctin between true life and TV dramas.
D.Tips n hw t becme ambitius yung girls.
15.Imran Siddquee believes that.
A. it is nrmal t include steretypes f females in reality TV shws
B.teens need guidance n hw t critically assess the cntents f such shws
C.parents shuld leave children t make independent chices when viewing
D.there are mre useful elements than bad steretypes in reality TV shws

参考答案
A篇用生动的语言分板块分别讲述了饮茶的好处与某些坏处、茶树与茶的知识科普以及有关茶的笑话。文本板块清晰，简明易懂，易于推理。
B篇文章讲述了受到视觉障碍的作者在追求写作梦想道路上与视觉障碍搏斗的过程，以及期间作者所寻找的解决方法。文章很有感染力，较为明晰。
C篇阅读论述了危机对自身成长的帮助，呼吁大家微笑着面对它，和危机成为朋友。总体考察大意理解，没有涉及到细节题，每段论述一个论点定位清晰，难度简单。
D篇文章论述一些真人电视节目输出的错误价值观和内容，对女性的刻板印象和强调外在，忽视了女性内在美和独立奋斗的形象，会误导青春期少女。作者呼吁培养孩子面对这类内容要进行独立思考，而不是被塑造影响。考察偏向于大意主旨，无细节题，定位相对不容易，解答需要综合一些段落得出结论，难度中等。
详细解析：
A篇
第1题 D 根据题目定位至茶的功效两个板块，在“Benefits”部分中我们可得知, “three r fur cups f tea a day will reduce the chances f heart attacks and certain cancers.” “Other health benefits include bne strengthening and prtectin against bad teeth.”即饮茶有利于减少心脏问题的发生、增强骨质以及预防牙齿问题。而在“negative side”板块中我们可以得知，贫血的人不适宜饮茶，故饮茶会增加缺铁的风险，而不是预防。
第2题 C 根据上下文理解，人们害怕茶会有脱水的作用。而专家的解释中说明了茶并不会起到脱水的作用，茶是一种健康的饮品。故此处的“dispel”应为与打消，消除相近的含义。
第3题 D A选项中“cure different diseases”并未在文中体现，文中只说明饮茶可以预防一些疾病的发生。B选项中“cannt”与文意相悖，文中Re-hydratin板块中的专家提及即使喝了浓茶也会相当于摄入了人体所需的液体，所以浓茶也可以起到解渴的作用。而C选项中的笑话则是并不饮茶的人也能理解的。故A、B、C选项皆为错误选项。D选项可以定位至Tea facts中的第一条，即茶树会被砍短以方便采收。
B篇
第4题 B 定位至题干所指向的段落，根据上下文可知, “I became unable t read r write fr any cnsiderable length f time” ,即作者因为视觉障碍而无法长时间地专注写作或阅读。与B选项最为相符。
第5题 A 定位至第三段第四行处，“The greatest barrier seemed t be the autmated vice.”困扰作者最多的就是自动语音声，即为本题答案，选A。
第6题 A 定位至第五自然段。当作者第一次听见VcaliD制作的声音时，发现它与作者自己的声音十分相像，几乎无法辨别出来。加之作者对其寄予的希望，都可以看出当作者听见VcaliD制作的声音时心中的激动与喜悦。
第7题 C 本题为段落大意理解推断，但也需联系上文进行理解。通过最后一段及倒数第二段我们可知，作者可能长时间无法摆脱视觉障碍的困扰，但是当有了新的设备后，作者不再受到自动语音的干扰，而是拥有了新的、通向内在自我与想象的写作可能，能够重新享受独自的写作过程。故此题选C。A、B皆与文意不符，D选项并非推测，且科技已经得到了进步。
C篇
第8题 D 考察前后句子的逻辑关联。第一段them所在句子的前一句 disasters can actually be gd fr yu.无尽‘灾难’事实上可以带来好处。故选D。
第9题 B 考察段落大意的理解。第二段在说面对顾客更高的要求，团队在努力的过程中提高了能力，加深了和顾客的关系，可见适当超出能力的挑战是有益的。故选B。
第10题 B 考察手法。第三段在论述短时的失败是有好处的，接着举出了自己团队解决电池问题造成的产能下降这个例子。A、C、D的意思分别为：对比、反驳假设、实验，都不符合。故选B。
第11题 D 文章主旨题。结合全文来看都围绕着危机这个命题进行论述，第一段也开头点出了中心，要乐观看待危机，在其中成长；而不是随它去、用CEO的方式做到、思考深入。故选D。
D篇
第12题 B 第三段 reality TV shws can be every bit as damaging fr teenage girls...真人秀电视节目对青少年女孩的危害很大，故选B。
第13题 C 考察段落大意。第六七两段集中论述真人秀的问题，内容充满了对女性的刻板印象解读，展现的都是女性美丽的外表，而不是一个女性应该有的独立和上进心，这种价值观是错误的，会误导女孩对于女性的认知。故选C。
第14题 A 第八段最后一句 shws feature wmen running their wn successful business.一些节目展现的是成功的经营自己事业的女性，该段在说一些女孩对于这类节目的思考，也举出了不同之前批判对象那样的节目。换句话说，这个人认为真人秀应该展现的是女性和她们的事业，故选A。
第15题 B 段落大意题。作者在第九段中提到，女孩子面对这类节目需要独立批判地进行思考，而不是被节目中对女性的刻板印象塑造改变自己；第十段总结，再次强调了critical thinkers，批判思维，青少年处在不平衡的关键期，任何看待事物的思维习惯都会造成很大影响。故选B。
7选5阅读
答案：16-20 BADFE
本文为读者推荐了在繁忙的日常生活中人们仍然可以采取的运动方式，以及对于运动过程的建议。文章版块短小精炼，较为明晰，易于读者理解。
详细解析：
第16题 B 根据下文Barbara的陈述可知，每个人的生活都非常繁忙，可能会有孩子，正在变老的父母，工作，伴侣等等需要处理的事情。可见能够抽出时间运动对于人们来说是一项巨大的挑战。又结合上文运动的好处，可知此处为一句表转折的句子。故选B。
第17题 A 此题只需关注标题即上下句内容即可选出答案。此段内容为对于走路以及使用计步器的建议。从或简单或高级的计步器开始记录下行走的每一步，都会使人得到很大的激励。这样才能越走越远。与此相关的选项有且仅有A，故此题选A。
第18题 D 根据段意理解，此段讲的是久坐的危害。故选项中仅有D选项提及站立或久坐的问题，能够与上下文相连。此题无迷惑项，选D。
第19题 F 此题需关注上下文内容。本段讲述了对于跑步的建议及好处。根据后文“then, g fr lnger distances gradually.”可知前面应该为慢慢循序渐进的建议。F选项与文意相符。即为可自主选择从慢跑或是走路开始，慢慢一点点加速。
第20题 E 这题要抓好本段的主题词 make it a habit. habit非常重要，因为E 选项的brushing yur teeth, 都是论证habit的，相比C选项，更加能够呼应文章主题词！所以抓好段落主题词是关键哦！
