My 83-year-old mother came to live with me a year ago last November. She was very ill and I had to put my life on hold to care for her.
Each morning, I got her up and dressed her and made her breakfast and sat with her. I rushed for a bowl when she felt sick, and lit fires to keep her warm. I cooked and persuaded her to take a few bites.
It’s a hard job caring for a sick or dying parent, whoever you are. But it was especially hard for me, I feel, because I am a doctor myself. I couldn’t help looking at her in two different ways. The medical professional saw a body and scrutinized it with the coldness that medicine requires. But the daughter saw the woman who had given birth to me, wiped my nose, sent me off to college and had been a constant presence in my life for over half a century.
Also, my mother didn’t appreciate how hard it was for me to care for her. I remember an exchange between her and the nurse who came to see her once a week:
“You could get some more help with care.”
“Oh, I don’t think I need that,” Mom said.
Mom didn’t understand that the help would have taken some of the burden off me. None of the treatments her doctors gave her worked, and finally her life became about comfort. She refused painkillers (止痛药) for a long time, but finally the pain convinced her. And when she accepted the painkillers she accepted the fact that she would die.
Illness and needs took us across personal boundaries I’d never before considered. And yet, while living and being and dying with Mom I witnessed something precious dawning. We became closer. We shared so many stories from our past that it was as if our memories had become one.
In the past our relationship had been difficult. We had often argued. But when the end came, both of us simply accepted that we looked at the world in different ways. We were daughter and mother and we loved each other. That was all that mattered.
42. Why was taking care of her mom especially hard for the author?
A. She was too busy living her own life.
B. She and her mom had a difficult relationship.
C. She was too old to attend to her mom carefully.
D. She viewed her mom both as a patient and a loved one.
43. The underlined word “scrutinized” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.
A. held B. checked C. ignored D. left
44. How did the author probably feel about the conversation between her mom and the nurse?
A. Helpful. B. Thankful. C. Surprised. D. Depressed.
45. What did the author learn from the experience of looking after her sick mother?
A. Love is more important than differences.
B. Being alive was the most important thing.
C. We should learn to understand other people.
D. It was better for family members to live independently of each other.
C
Losing an arm means losing the ability to grab, as well as losing the sense of touch. Scientists have been working on mind-controlled prostheses (义肢) and have successfully built a few to help patients regain their ability to grab. But restoring the sense of touch has been quite a challenge – until now.
Seven years ago, a group of Swedish scientists created a new type of prostheses, which has since then been tried out on three patients to see how they perform in people’s daily lives. The study result was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
According to the study, this is the first time that people who have had an arm amputated (截肢) can experience sensations of touch in mind-controlled arm prostheses.
The new product is named “neuromusculoskeletal” prosthesis. As the name indicates, the prosthesis is connected directly to a user’s nerves, muscles and skeleton. The sensation of touch becomes possible by stimulating nerves that used to be connected to the biological hand before the amputation.
When a patient grabs an object, for example, force sensors planted in the prosthetic thumb would measure contact and pressure. The collected information would then be transmitted to the patient’s nerves that lead to the brain. In this way, the patient can “feel” the characteristics of the object being touched and perceive (感知) its pressure against the prosthetic hand, which can be crucial when handling delicate objects – an egg, for example.
“The ability of the patients to discern (觉察) smaller changes in the intensity of sensations has improved,” Max Ortiz Catalan, Associate Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, who is the leader of the study, told Science Daily.
According to Catalan, the new study has demonstrated that their prosthesis is qualified as a “clinically viable replacement for a lost arm”.
“The sensors are not the obstacle for restoring sensation,” Catalan added. “The challenge is creating neural interfaces (接口) that can seamlessly (无缝地) transmit large amounts of artificially collected information to the nervous system, in a way that the user can experience sensations naturally and effortlessly.” And they did it.
With the development of prosthesis technology, people who suffer from limb loss will have a greater chance of getting their normal lives back.
46. Neuromusculoskeletal prosthesis’ unique advantage is helping people with arm amputations to _____ .
A. carry heavy objects again
B. regain the ability to grab objects
C. move their prostheses as they wish
D. experience the sense of touch again
47. The new prosthesis is connected directly to __________.
① user’s nerves ② user’s brains ③ user’s muscles ④ user’s skeleton
A. ① ② ③ B. ① ③ ④ C. ② ③ ④ D. ① ② ④
48. How do the new prostheses work?
A. They collect information about objects and process it.
B. They stimulate the cut nerves to restore the sense of touch.
C. They measure the size of objects and send the information.
D. They detect the material of objects and send the information.
49. What can patients perceive with the new prosthesis?
A. The intensity of an object.  
B. The structure of an object.
C. The pressure from an object.
D. The changes inside an object.
50. What is the difficulty in developing the new technology?
A. Measuring the pressure of objects.
B. Connecting the sensors to nerves.
C. Creating good neural interfaces.
D. Building responsive sensors.
51. What’s the author’s attitude towards the prospect of prosthesis technology?
A. Optimistic. B. Neutral. C. Critical. D. Unconcerned.
D
When Benjamin Cherkasky was in eighth grade, he quit the swim team. It wasn’t because he lacked the passion; he just couldn’t accept failures in matches. “I’m not Michael Phelps, why am I even on the team?” he said.
A US therapist (治疗专家) who researches perfectionism at Northwestern University realized years later what had happened. Cherkasky’s perfectionism was creating unrealistic standards. Unable to meet them, he quit.
“My perfectionism prompted (导致) very high expectations, and that caused real suffering,” he said.
Cherkasky is not alone in feeling that perfectionism can breed  anxiety. So many millennials (千禧一代) suffer from the ills of perfectionism that psychologists are issuing warnings and schools are emphasizing the need to accept failure.
Northwestern had held several seminars that offered tips on how students could deal with a perfectionism problem. 
Jessica Rohlfing Pryor, a psychologist leading the events, said every generation is a sponge (海绵) for the messages it receives.
“Millennials, more than any other generation in American society, are receiving clear messages around achieving,” she said. “There’s an absence of messaging that trying your hardest is still OK.”
The American Psychological Association also found out that recent generations of college students have reported higher levels of perfectionism than earlier generations.
This “desire to achieve along with being overly critical of oneself and others” affects young people’s mental health, according to its research, which analyzed data from over 40,000 college students.
Researchers noted that social media adds comparative pressure, along with the drive to earn money and achieve career goals. Perfectionists often create even higher goals, which can lead to a higher risk of failure.
In college, Cherkasky found himself surrounded by so many intelligent people that he felt he should have been achieving a higher level than he was. “It makes you feel kind of crazy,” he said.
This type of thinking can lead people to putting in less effort, which, as they fall behind, can create more anxiety. “It makes people feel kind of isolated.” Cherkasky added, “And that can cause students to drift away from their school”. Northwestern is not the only school eager to help students.
Brown University includes perfectionism in its counseling (咨询) services, asking students if they ever feel that what they accomplish isn’t good enough.
52. Why did Cherkasky quit the swim team in eighth grade? 
A. He wanted more time to study. 
B. He found he had no passion for swimming. 
C. He couldn’t reach the goal he set for himself.
D. He always did badly in swimming competitions.
53. Which of the following would Pryor probably agree with? 
A. Millennials are unwilling to work hard.
B. Young people should accept being imperfect.
C. Young people should learn to deal with pressure. 
D. Perfectionism can benefit individuals and society. 
54. What did the American Psychological Association discover? 
A. Social media users were more likely to be perfectionists. 
B. Perfectionism could have a negative impact on physical health. 
C. Few universities offered help to students with mental problems.
D. College millennial students suffer more perfectionism problems than ever. 
55. The author describes Cherkasky’s experience in college mainly to show ______. 
A. the harm of being a perfectionist 
B. the effect of isolation on perfectionists
C. the pressure college students experience
D. the challenges underachievers have to overcome

When a special occasion arrives, a colorful gift bag or a box often finds its way to a doorstep, an office desk or a mailbox. But once in a while, a present arrives at an unexpected moment to remind us that someone is thinking about us.
Wanda Anderson of Richland, US, remembers such a gift.
The rosebushes were finally in full bloom on that day in spring.
Seeing roses always brings to mind Wanda’s childhood memories. To this young girl, those flowers were extra special. “We never had money to buy extra things, so even a tired rose was something to cherish,” Wanda said.
Nowadays, to have a garden filled with many different roses is pure enjoyment. Wanda especially loves the very first blooms.
Her husband, Dale, devotedly takes care of the roses and knows this little fact about his wife. So, on this special morning, he picked the very first flowers of spring, fresh from the garden. But as Dale came back into the house, he was met by a neighbor who had stopped in for a quick visit. As the woman turned to go, Dale handed the roses to her. And even though their visitor insisted she didn’t want to take them, she was repeatedly told that the flowers were hers to keep.
“I told her I was happy for her to have the roses, but I really wasn’t,” Wanda said, remembering the emotions she was feeling right then.
Seeing her very precious first blooms go out the door filled her with regret, and a bit of selfishness.
Throughout the rest of the morning, Wanda argued with herself, knowing it was “better to give than to receive.” Nevertheless, she wished she could have kept the roses for herself.
Later that day, the couple headed to the post office, where Wanda waited outside in the car. Then, without warning, an older woman suddenly appeared at the car’s open window, with a bunch of roses in her arms.
“These are for you,” she said, giving the flowers to Wanda. “They’re my first blooms this spring.”
Totally surprised, Wanda thanked the woman and took a moment to smell the roses’ rich fragrance. When she looked up, the mysterious visitor was gone.
To this day, that “special delivery” changed Wanda. Now, her very first blooms always go to someone else, as a reminder that someone is thinking of them.
56. Why does Wanda love roses so much? (no more than 15 words)
57. What does the underlined word “devotedly” mean in Paragraph 6? (no more than 5
words)
58. How did Wanda feel after the neighbor left? (no more than 10 words)
59. What changed Wanda’s opinion of giving gifts? (no more than 10 words)

explain. (no more than 25 words)

One possible version:
Dear Mr. Zhang,
Delighted to know a new column will be added in our English Club’s Official WeChat Accounts, I’m writing to offer my recommendation to you.
Among the three columns “Career Planning”, “Our Students” and “Campus Culture”, I would like to choose “Career Planning” to be the one to be added, based on the original two columns “School Profile” and “Study Life”. I know that right now a large number of students still have absolutely no idea about what they truly want to become in the future, so it’s quite urgent and necessary to give students basic understanding of what different kinds of jobs are like and what kinds of qualities are required for different jobs. This may help us gain a better understanding of our strengths and weakness so that we can figure out our goals. To me, it’s much more meaningful than “Our Students” or “Campus Culture”.
I would be most grateful if you would like to consider my recommendation. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Jin
