Mving frces us t face the extraneus. File cabinets and drawers stuffed t the brim, bxes piled high in the backs f clsets — why keep letters
and cards that we never re-read? One card with my grandmther’s handwriting shuld be enugh.
An unnerving yet prductive strategy is t envisin smene dealing with the piles f papers if yu suddenly weren’t here. Yu instantly realize that
mst f yur accumulatin will ne day be thrwn int a recycling bin. The things yu are saving as reminders f yur past are useless t thers. Sure,
yu may value what yu keep, but wrth is essentially all in yur head.

In a real sense, t thrw things away is t prepare t die. This is nt a glmy declaratin but rather an enlivening recgnitin f the freedm that
fllws when we take urselves less seriusly. It’s the same as lking at a sky full f stars and feeling the relief f being tiny and unimprtant.
Awareness f the briefness f ur time n earth and the impermanence f bth ur attachments and ur sufferings can becme a pwerful basis fr
clearing things and emtins alike.
A few years ag, dear friends were called hme frm wrk t a big fire. They watched as their huse burned t the grund, despite the effrts f
several fire crews. Everything material, cherished things, and accumulatins were reduced t ashes —clthes, pht albums, furniture, paintings, bks,
bxes f ld letters, the pian.
By nightfall, what they had left were the clthes they had wrn that day and the phts they had kept at their wrkplaces. At first, they felt
cmpletely cllapsed, but nce they emerged frm the initial shck and grief, they were sustained by a lt f lve frm family and friends. They were
alive, and this is what really mattered. It is astnishing t discver hw little weight ur pssessins carry in this calculus f true necessity.
【小题1】What des the underlined wrd “extraneus” mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Invaluable.
【小题2】What may the authr agree with abut the value f ne’s accumulatin?
A．It’s useless. B．It’s essential. C．It’s persnal.
【小题3】Hw can ne be prepared “t thrw things away” accrding t Paragraph 3?
B．Irrelevant.
C．Suitable.
D．Necessary.
D．It’s recyclable.
A．By recgnizing the burden f freedm.
B．By letting neself fade int insignificance.
D．By treasuring the attachments and sufferings.
C．By being aware f the preciusness f time.
【小题4】Why des the authr mentin his friends’ stry?
A．T demnstrate the cruelty f a fire.
B．T stress the weight ur pssessins carry.
D．T shw the insignificance f ur pssessins.
C．T emphasize the imprtance f lve frm friends.
What are yur strngest memries f reading and writing? These stries, therwise knwn as “literacy narratives,” allw writers t talk thrugh
and discver their relatinships with reading, writing, and speaking in all its frms. Narrwing in n specific mments reveals the significance f
literacy’s impact n ur lives, bringing buried emtins tied t the pwer f language, cmmunicatin, and expressin. T be “literate” implies the
ability t decde language n its mst basic terms, but literacy als expands t ne’s ability t “read and write” the wrld-t find and make meaning
ut f ur relatinships with texts, urselves, and the wrld arund us.
Everyne has their wn stry t tell abut their relatinships with reading and writing. Even famus writers like Annie Dillard, authr f “The
Writing Life,” and Anne Lammt, “Bird by Bird,” have penned literacy narratives t reveal the highs and lws f language learning, literacies, and the
written wrd.
Ready t write yur wn literacy narrative assignment but dn’t knw where t begin? Think f a stry linked t yur persnal histry f reading
and writing. Perhaps yu want t write abut yur favrite authr r bk and its impact n yur life. Wherever yu begin, picture the first scene that
cmes t mind in relatin t this stry, using descriptive details. Cntinue frm there t explre the ways in which this experience had meaning fr yu.
What ther memries are triggered in the telling f this first scene?
Writing literacy narratives can be a jyful prcess, but it can als trigger untapped feelings abut the cmplexities f literacy. Many f us carry scars
and wunds frm early literacy experiences. Writing it dwn can help us explre and make peace with these feelings in rder t strengthen ur
relatinship with reading and writing. Writing literacy narratives can als help us learn abut urselves as cnsumers and prducers f wrds, revealing
the cmplexities f knwledge, culture, and pwer cnnected with language and literacies. Ultimately, telling ur literacy stries brings us clser t
urselves and each ther in ur cllective desire t express and cmmunicate a shared humanity.
【小题1】A literacy narrative serves t ___.
A．illustrate basic terms f a native language
B．discver emtinal ties t different readers
C．share memries f learning pwerful lessns
D．reflect n persnal experiences with language

Beeping alarms in hspitals are a life-r-death matter-but with s many ging ff all the time, medical prfessinals my experience am fatigue (疲劳)
that impairs car. Researchers nw reprt that changing n alarm’s sund t include prperties f musical instruments can make it mre helpful in the
nisy clinics.
Beeping alarms can sund up t 300 times a day per patient in U. S. hspitals, but nly a small percentage require immediate actin. Data frm the
U. S. Fd and Drug Administratin suggest that alarm fatigue (including when clinicians turned ff r frgt t restart alarms) and ther alarm-related
issues were linked t 566 deaths ver five and a half years.
In 2015 Dctr Schlesinger and Schutz, a music cgnitin researcher, began examining musical qualities called timbres (音质) that might let sfter
sunds cmmand attentin frm busy clinicians. They fund that sunds with a “percussive” timbre, many f which cntain shrt bursts f high-
frequency energy — such as wine glasses clinking -stand ut even at lw vlume. In cntrast, lud, “flat” tnes that lack high-frequency cmpnents,
like a reversing truck’s beep, get lst.
The researchers have since cntinued t cnduct experiments in which participants evaluate different sunds and meldies fr annyance,
detectability and recgnizability. Fr a recent study they played participants the same sets f ntes with varying timbres. They fund the sunds that
made these sets least annying. with n decrease in recall, were percussive and had cmplex, time-varied harmnic vertnes (the many cmpnents
within a single sund) like a xylphne’s ping (木琴声). The researchers nw are drawing inspiratin frm the timbres f ther instruments: the triangle,
fr example, famusly stands ut in a crwd f sunds pssibly because it has vertnes that depart frm traditinal harmnic series. Such findings
culd lead t alarms that cmmand attentin and fit int current regulatry guidelines. Michael Ray, wh studies cgnitive systems design at the Ohi
State University, says that cmplex sunds like thse instruments in the study avid trading detectability fr recgnitin. Experimenting with timbre, he
says, “furthers ur understanding f aspects that can imprve perfrmance in hspital alarms. ”
【小题1】What is the pint f changing an alarm’s sund in hspitals?
A．Curing mre patients.
B．Making alarms mre effective.
C．Reducing the ging ff f alarms.
D．Including features f musical instruments.
【小题2】What can be called a sund with a “percussive” timbre?
A．The rll f a distant thunder.
B．The beep f a reversing truck.
C．The ringing sund f a wind-bell.
D．The sund f a wrking air-cnditiner.
【小题3】What can be inferred frm the last tw paragraphs?
A．Researching timbre ensures perfect perfrmance f alarms.
B．Percussive sunds alne made the sets f ntes least annying.
C．Triangles stand ut because f their traditinal harmnic series.
D．Alarms with instrumental sunds are prbably detectable and recgnizable.
【小题4】What is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A．Hspital Issues
B．Musical Instruments
C．Percussive Timbre
D．Musical Alarms
Fr uncunted generatins, trillins f cral plyps (珊瑚虫) have lived and died, leaving behind a material called limestne. Thrughut Histry,
limestne was used t cnstruct the Great Pyramid f Egypt, as well as many churches and castles. 【小题1】 . We can call them reefs (礁体). They

can be even larger in scale than the mst impressive buildings and structures made by humans.
【小题2】
Indeed, a living cral reef is remarkable, a “city beneath the sea” filled with a rich variety f life. Mst cral reefs can be fund in warm, shallw
ceans. They ccupy just a small part f the cean flr, but hst 25 percent f all cean life. Each reef is full f clrful fish as well as cral that frms
wnderful patterns. In additin t their beauty, the reefs are an imprtant fd surce fr fish, and fr. humans.
Threats t cral reefs
【小题3】
. Fr example, reefs can be damaged when the cral is taken fr use in building materials r jewelry-making. Illegal fishing methds
als harm reefs. These methds can help fishermen get a gd catch, but their negative effects n the reefs are significant. Blast fishing invlves setting
ff bmbs in the water t kill as many fish as pssible.
【小题4】
In additin, glbal warming has caused many reefs t becme sick. A 2018 UN
Reprt predicted that up t 99 percent f the wrld’s cral reefs may decline if glbal warming cntinues.
Reasns fr hpe
These threats t cral reefs are very serius, but there is reasn t hpe that they will survive. If we take steps tward cral reef cnservatin, it is
likely that these tiny creatures — which survived natural threats fr millins f years — will be able t rebuild. As cnservatinist Rbert Richmnd says,
“
【小题5】
. ”
A．A diversity f life
B．A city abve the sea
C．Given a chance, they can cme back
D．Yet the greatest limestne structures in the wrld are built underwater
E．Varius human activities can cause great harm t the wrld’s cral reefs
F．As a result, the fish became stunned, which makes them easy t cllet.
G．This kills mst living things nearby and causes damage t the reef’s structure

It’s imprtant t make yur big brther angry. As far as Sandy was cncerned, that wasn’t just her jb, but her calling. Greg was 15 years ld, a

aunt’s fr dinner. Why dn’t yu drive the whle family?” “Sure thing,” said Greg, his eyes shimmering with anticipatin. This wuld be Sandy’s
big chance. She hid Greg’s permit in Greg’s she in his bedrm as she knew Greg culdn’t drive withut a permit.
