I am, not for the first time, writing a book. The difference with this book is that I will actually finish writing it without being interrupted.

Last week I left Melbourne to stay for a month at a house next to the beach; just me, my dog and my laptop. It’s an unspeakable luxury having what Virginia Woolf described over 90 years ago as the two things a woman needs for writing: a room of her own and enough money to support herself.

My room is small and there is nothing distracting me. No iPad games, no bar next door, no kids, no unpaid bills, no struggling to pay the rent; just silence and a beach to walk on when I need to clear my head. Some people can and have written books in rooms full of all those things. I could not.

Since I arrived, I’ve turned off my phone and in the absence of alarms I wake up early, make breakfast and go for a walk on the beach to sort out my thoughts on the writing I did the day before and how it ties in with what I want to write today.

When I come back, I write, uninterrupted, for hours. When it’s time to stop, I can eat, nap, read or lie on the ground and stare at the sky. Then I do hours of editing and researching for the next day. These are my days in the room of my own.

My colleague wrote about the guilt and freedom of leaving all your responsibilities behind and how surprising it is to discover how much you can do when you have a room of your own. It’s not something I’ve done for years. Being a single parent is tiring, rewarding and irritating all at once and it leaves very little room for creativity or pondering.

People rarely have freedom to pursue creative dreams. I’ve worked hard, and getting here gave me the opportunity.

Writing is a joy and incredibly hard work. I don’t know if the book will be a success, but I do know how successful I will feel when I’ve finished it and how lucky I am that I will be able to be here in this room of my own.

24．Why did the author leave Melbourne?

A．She wanted to live near the seashore. 

B．She wanted to have some leisure time.

C．She had a desire to live a luxurious life. 

D．She was determined to finish her writing.

25．The author mentioned Virginia Woolf in paragraph 2 to ______.

A．express her admiration for Virginia. 

B．show that Virginia can finish writing a book.

C．prove that Virginia also likes dogs and laptops. 

D．stress the idea of having a house for writing alone.

26．How did the author feel when staying in the room?

A．She felt regretful to leave her family. 

B．She felt lonely and missed Melbourne.

C．She liked the simplicity and felt relaxed. 

D．She found it hard to get inspiration for writing.

27．What’s the purpose of this passage?

A．To show how to write a book independently.

B．To share her story and thoughts on living alone.

C．To explain how Virginia Woolf has affected her life.

D．To make suggestions about how to pursue dreams freely.

C

The riches of the natural world aren’t spread evenly acr8s the globe Places like the tropical Andes(赤道安第斯山脉) in South America are packed with unique species many found no place else on Earth Previously, the main explanation for the biological riches concentrated in places like the Amazon Basin was that they were such places where new species evolved at a faster rate than other parts of the world. But now, new research on bird evolution may turn that assumption on its head, instead sporting the idea that areas with fewer species actually tend to produce new species faster.

The researchers say the biodiversity coldspots are generally found in harsher (更严酷的) environments featuring freeing, dry and unstable conditions. Though the researchers have found these locations with few bird species tend to produce new ones at high rates, they fail to accumulate many species because the unstable conditions frequently make the new life forms die out.

The more well-known hotspots, by contrast, have accumulated their large numbers of species by being warm, hospitable and relatively stable. Indeed, the researchers have found that the countless bird species that call the Amazon home tend to be older in evolutionary terms. That actually accounts for higher species richness there.

“Our results suggest that these hotspots for biodiversity are not hotspots for the evolution of new species," says Elizabeth Derryberry, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Tennessee. “New species do form in places like the Amazon, just not as frequently as in more extreme environments."

The researchers managed to collect 1,940 samples(样本) representing 1,287 of the 1,306 bird species from South America. Their analysis revealed that the best predictor of whether an area would produce new species at a high rate was how many species lived there, rather than climate or geographic features like mountains. Species rich areas tended to produce new species more slowly.

On a practical level, the study s findings add new urgency for stopping destroying ecosystems that may look dry and bare, because they may actually be nature's hothouses for the evolution of new species.

28．What is the previous explanation for biodiversity in the Amazon Basin?

A．Its species' strong survival abilities. B．The immigration of foreign species.

C．The rapid evolution of new species. D．Its vast living space for new species.

29．Why do the bird species in the Amazon tend to be older?

A．There's less competition and more chances. 

B．It constantly attracts new species to come.

C．It had extreme environments a long time ago. 

D．The environment there is stable and favorable

30．The study's findings suggest that we should_______.

A．conserve harsh ecosystems   B．help species in hot areas live longer

C．develop species-rich environments  D．limit species in biodiversity coldspots

31．What is the main idea of the text?

A．Bird species prefer to live in harsher ecosystems. 

B．Species poor areas may produce new species faster.

C．Tropical areas are home to large numbers of species. 

D．Hot areas are more attractive to species than cold areas.

D

“Girls are weak, and boys are strong. This is what is being subconsciously communicated to hundreds of millions of young boys and girls all over the world, just like it was with me,” said American actor Justin Baldoni. As a boy, all he wanted was to be accepted by other people. That acceptance meant he had to pretend to be strong when he was weak, confident when he felt insecure, and tough when he was actually hurting.

Is that a healthy lifestyle? A member of the CPPCC Standing Committee might say “yes”. In his proposal, he spoke of a need to “prevent the feminization of male youths”. In response to his call, China’s Ministry of Education has recently demanded that schools should hire more physical education teachers and improve teaching methods to cultivate masculinity in students.

The response has been widely debated online, with many people saying that it reinforces gender stereotypes. The state broadcaster CCTV wrote on its Weibo account, “Education is not simply about cultivating men and women. It’s more important to develop a willingness to take responsibility.” You might be wondering now: What is masculinity, and why is this so controversial?

Well, by itself, “masculinity” refers to the qualities traditionally considered to be typical of men. While there is not really a single “correct” set of qualities, the term is often associated with strength, courage, assertiveness, and emotional control. Sometimes, however, these seemingly admirable qualities can be extended in unrealistic ways. But boys are also human. Blindly asking them to control their feelings “like a man” can only increase their stress when they grow up.

As an educator who has spent years teaching in China, I agree that attaching more importance to physical education would definitely benefit students. Sports provide opportunities for physical fitness. More importantly, they can help develop lifelong skills, such as leadership and communication skills. However, putting the emphasis on masculinity is far from a sound reason for which to do so.

It is unnecessary for all boys to build up their muscles, but it is essential that they all learn how to be strong inside. It is also fine for boys to cry and to show their weakness. Schools should work on equipping students with the skills and values they will need to be successful in life, not reinforcing stereotypes of masculinity borrowed from a bygone age.

32．The underlined expression “masculinity” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.

A. manly qualities B. potential abilitiesC. self-centrednessD. steady strength

33．What is the argument against the demand of China’s Ministry of Education?

A．It is necessary to prevent the feminization of male youths.

B．Physical education should be paid more attention to.

C．We should teach students according to their individual qualities.

D．Importance should be attached to developing students’sense of responsibility.

34．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Masculinity is out of date.

B．Masculinity is overstated.

C．Masculinity shows physical strength.

D．Masculinity only focuses on physical fitness.

35．What does the author want to say in the article?

A．We should do everything we can to guarantee students’ health.

B．Schools should differentiate between boys and girls while educating them.

C．It is important to prepare students with necessary skills and right values.

D．It is time to weaken stereotypes of masculinity.

用所给词的适当形式填空或在空白处填入一个恰当的词。

Many a student 61________ (fail) to perform well in an exam not because of lack of 62_______ (able), but because of the unique pressure of the exam room—the tense atmosphere, the 63_______ (tick) clock on the wall, the teacher walking around, and the thought that their future will be decided by the exam.

It’s not just students 64________ will face pressure. Human beings are competitive animals and we decide to evaluate each other, whether in exams 65________ in job interviews. So all of us 66________ (occasional) get nervous. Removing pressure from life is an impossible dream.

However, there are some ways that can help reduce our pressure. It turns out that we are far more likely 67________ (overcome) the pressure when we are as familiar as possible 68________ the situation we are about to face. Of course, even when we are well-prepared, we may still feel nervous or anxious, but at least it is 69________ (easy) and more efficient to deal with strange and difficult situations. Furthermore, we may also benefit from reminding 70________ (our) that the big moment is not that big after all from a different perspective.
