If you are looking for recommendations on biographies(传记) that will educate you, comedies that will make your belly ache or stories that present the unique challenges women face every day, read on.
“Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen
A classic that never gets old. Set in rural England in the early 19th century, this tale centers around the Bennet family, a family of five daughters and their two parents who are desperate to find at least one of the daughters a wealthy match. Austen’s story focuses on the tension between marrying for love instead of just for power and fame, and also the unique pressure on women to find financial security by way of marriage at the time.
“Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World” by Rachel Ignotofsky 
It is a sweetly illustrated and educational book that highlights the contributions of 50 women in the fields of technology, science, engineering and mathematics, from present day all the way back to 360 AD.

“Becoming” by Michelle Obama
We wouldn’t be able to write this list without including Michelle Obama’s memoir. “Becoming” has the former FLOTUS discussing her childhood, family, motherhood, her own FLOTUS impact, the pressures of being part of the first Black family in the White House and balancing her public life now.

Jose Hernandez made his dream of becoming an astronaut a reality and he did so despite unbelievable difficulties.
“I was working in a field near Stockton, and I heard on my radio that Franklin Chang-Diaz had been selected for the Astronaut Corps," said Jose, who was a senior in high school at the time and was already interested in science and engineering, Jose remembered, "but that was the moment I said, "I want to fly in space.' "
As one of four children in a migrant （移 民）farming family from Mexico, Jose - who didn't learn English until he was 12 years old - spent much of his childhood traveling with his family from Mexico to southern California each March, then working northward to the Stockton area by November, picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route. They would then return to Mexico for Christmas and start the cycle all over again in the spring. "Some kids might think it would be fun to travel like that,“ Jose laughed, "but we had to work”.
After graduating from high school, Jose was admitted into the University of the Pacific, In 1987, he accepted a full-time job with Lawrence National Laboratory. In 2001, Jose joined the Johnson Space Center, where he came face-to-face with Franklin Chang-Diaz.
“We actually had common experiences — a similar upbringing, the same language issues. That built up my confidence. Any barriers that existed, he had already overcome them.” Jose smiled. "Now it's my turn!”
“NASA rejected me not once, not twice, not three times but 11 times. It wasn't until the 12th time that I got selected, he said. Jose was selected as part of the 19th class of astronauts in 2004. He circled the globe 217 times but remains a down to Earth guy.
Jose Hernandez received the 2016 National Hispanic Hero Award and he continues his long history in the field of engineering and space.
24. What made Jose determined to be an astronaut?
A. The influence of Astronaut Corps.
B. The success of Franklin Chang-Diaz.

D. The experience of working in the field.

A. Climb over Barriers B. Reach for the Stars

California burns every year. But among a record-breaking heatwave, 2020 is the worst burning year yet. As of the September 2020, more than 7,600 fires burned over 2.5m acres of land. The season ran for more than several months.
That fits a long-term trend, for California's wild fires are getting steadily worse. Large fires in the 2010s burned 6.8m acres on average, up from 3.3m acres in the 1990s. The fire season in 2020 lasted nearly three months longer than it did in the 1970s. Over the past decade, the state has spent an average of $3.7bn a year fighting fires. Add the cost of rebuilding, treating victims and restoration, and that is perhaps a tenth of the total cost.
The reason is a double blow of climate change and development. More homes are being built next to forests, in what experts call the "wild-land-urban interface" (WUI). A 2018 study estimated that roughly a third of American homes were in the WUL. Pricy housing has pushed people in California onto cheaper land close to the wilderness. At the same time, climate change is lengthening the dry season, which stores up fuel for fires. In California, a “huge drought" -- in which dry years become more common and wet ones scarcer (稀少)-- is making matters even worse.
Since neither trend shows much sign of turning around, people on America's west coast will have to learn to co-exist with more and more frequent fires. It’s not that different to building on an earthquake active region," says Max Moritz, a wildfire expert at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He suggests that houses should be built near water or open agricultural lands, which can offer a useful barrier.
28. How does the second paragraph develop?
A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By providing statistics. D. By following time order.
29. Why are more houses being built next to forests?
A. People can get closer to nature.
B. California advocates forest development.
C. Low-income people can't afford urban houses.
D. Climate change has made the dry season longer.
30. What does Max Moritz imply?
A. Life is hopeless for people on America's west coast.
B. Great potential danger goes with the houses in WUL
C. Wildfire experts should study where to build houses.
D. People should live away from earthquake active regions.
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A. To instruct. B. To warn. C. To persuade. D. To inform.

D

If you believe that scientists and artists are most creative when they're young, you are missing an important part of the story. A new study published in De Economist looked at Nobel Prize winners in the field of economics. It found there are two different peaks of creativity. One comes early in a person's career, while another comes later.
The research supports previous work by the authors that found similar patterns in the arts and other sciences."We believe what we found in this study isn't limited to economics, but could apply to creativity more generally," said Bruce Weinberg, lead author of the study and professor of economics at The Ohio State University."Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you're talking about."
In the study, those who did their most groundbreaking work early in their careers tended to be "conceptual" innovators（创新者）. These type of innovators "think outside the box", challenging conventional wisdom and suddenly coming up with new ideas. Conceptual innovators are not yet immersed (沉浸于) in the accepted theories of their field, Weinberg said.
But there is another kind of creativity, he said, which is found among "experimental" innovators. These innovators accumulate knowledge through their careers and find new ways to understand it. The long periods of trial and error for important experimental innovations come later in a Nobel laureate's(荣誉获得者的) career."Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach," Weinberg said.
The researchers took a novel, empirical(经验主义的) approach to the study, which involved 31 laureates. They arranged the laureates on a list from the most experimental to most conceptual. This ranking was based on the laureates' most important work, classifying them into "conceptual" or "experimental" .
After classifying the laureates, the researchers determined the age at which each laureate made his most important contribution to economics and could be considered at his creative peak.They found that conceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29. Experimental laureates peaked when they were roughly twice as old, in their mid-50s. "Our research suggests that when you're most creative is more about how you approach your work."

32．What did the study published in De Economist find?
A．Economists are more creative than artists and other scientists.
B．Economists, artists and other scientists have much in common.
C．Creativity comes at any age, young or old.
D．Creativity tends to decrease as people get older.
33．What does the underlined phrase "think outside the box" mean?
A．Figure out how to escape from a box.
B．Follow rules strictly.
C．Experiment on boxes.
D．Break old thought patterns.
34．What do we know about "experimental" innovators?
A．They make discoveries through constant trial and error.
B．They usually come up with new ideas all of a sudden.
C．They make more contributions than "conceptual" innovators.
D．The majority of them reach their creative peak in their twenties.
35．What do the researchers believe determines someone's creative peak?
A．One's personality type. B．How one handles their work.
C．One's attitude toward their work D．What kind of job one takes.

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. 37 It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
● 38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well­being.
● 39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”．At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
●You didn’t lose “everything”．Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A．Learn to really trust yourself.
B．It is putting confidence in someone.
C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D．Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.
F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

After an exhausting day, Jack wandered in the street, smiling while thinking of his students. Jack was a respectable and considerate teacher while his students took good care of him, too.
Suddenly，a familiar figure flashed into Jack's eyes. It was Mark, his junior high school teacher. With thrill, Jack dashed forward, greeting enthusiastically, "Mark, how are you?" Taking out his presbyopia（老花镜），Mark studied the passionate young man in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and got confused, “Sorry? Have we met before?”
Not disappointed at all, Jack introduced himself in delight, "Sorry, Mark. I'm Jack Smith, from Class 2，Grade 8，graduating from Kevin Junior High School in 2001. Now I'm a teacher." Hearing the words, Mark was puzzled but also delighted, asking a series of questions, "Why can't I remember you? Are you a teacher now?" In spite of poor eyesight, Mark did have such a brilliant memory that he could even remember almost all his students.
“Well, in fact, you only took charge of our class for only one day, and something happened that day. I became a teacher because of your inspiration.”
The old Mark, curious, kept raising questions such as when they met, how he had inspired him to be a teacher, and so on.“One day，a friend of mine came in with a nice new watch. I was so crazy about it that I decided to take it and I did. After a short while, my friend found it disappear and immediately reported to the teacher, you, who happened to be in charge of our class for that day because our teacher was ill.”
A mixture of emotions floated in Jack's eyes on recalling the shameful history. That day, Mark came and told the whole class that someone in the class could not find his watch and whoever took it，please return it. Jack was too frightened to hand it in.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

Dear fellow students,
On behalf of the Students’ Union, I am writing to call on everyone to take part in our summer program named Care for the Aged.
The modern society is developing rapidly, leaving aged people behind, who have little knowledge of the Internet and digital devices. To help them enjoy the modern technological conveniences, in the coming summer holiday, we will organize volunteers to visit communities to teach them how to use smart phones and surf the Internet. It surely will raise their life quality and make a difference to the whole society.
We need your help. Please sign up at the office of the Students’ Union or write an e-mail to Students Union@abc.cn, Your participation will be highly appreciated.

Then, Mark closed the door and told all students to get up. Mark decided to search students’ pockets one by one until the watch was found. “But you should close your eyes.” Mark remembered. “Yes, you told us you would only look for the watch if we all had our eyes closed.” Jack appreciated. So all the students did, and Mark went from pocket to pocket. The moment Mark went through Jack’s pocket where he found the watch and took it, Jack’s heart was almost to jump out from his mouth.
But Mark kept searching everyone’s pockets. When he finished, he declared, “Open your eyes. We have the watch.” Mark didn’t say who had stolen the watch or even mention the episode. “It was the most shameful day of my life. But this is also the day my dignity was saved and I decided not to become a thief, but a kind teacher to save kids’ dignity as you do.” Wearing a smile, Mark replied, “I don’t remember the face because I took off my presbyopia that day.”

36．【答案】 B
【解析】：第一句Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences.(信任是我们从以往经历中获得的习得行为。)是对trust的解释。选项B中的it指代上文出现的trust，并且继续解释trust的含义：putting confidence in someone(对某人寄托信任)，故选B项。注意：选项B与第一句为顺承关系。
37．【答案】 E
【解析】：选项E与上文能形成因果关系。They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.(他们曾经受过严重伤害，不能容忍这种事情再次发生。)是上一句Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore.(有时候人们就是不能再信任别人。)的原因。并且与下一句It's understandable...(这是可以理解的……)有顺承关系。
38．【答案】 A
【解析】：空格位于段首，根据文章结构分析，极有可能是祈使句。并且选项A.Learn to really trust yourself.(学会真正信任你自己。)与空格后的Having confidence in yourself形成同义复现。trust yourself相当于have confidence in yourself。
39．【答案】 C
【解析】：空格位于段首，根据文章结构分析，极有可能是祈使句。下文中If you've been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance.But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”．(如果你遭遇了背叛，那么你就成为客观环境的受害者。但是成为受害者与以“受害者的心态”活着是有区别的。)反复出现victim一词，而选项C中的关键词也为victim，形成原词复现。选项C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.(不要把自己当作受害者。)起到总起本段的作用。
40【答案】 G
【解析】：Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.(看到事情的积极方面并不意味着你对发生的事情视而不见。)与下一句Instead，it's a healthy way...for positive...(相反，这是一个健康的方式……)形成转折关系。并且选项中的positive与下文的positive形成原词复现。
