With the rise of social media and the increasing number of online platforms, businesses have too
many options when it comes to promoting their products or services. We will compare some of the top
online advertising platforms and help you determine which one is right for you.
Google Ads: The Powerhouse of Online Advertising
When it comes to online advertising, Google Ads is undoubtedly the most powerful and widely

One of China’s first female sea-rescue pilots looks back in pride at 300-plus missions and
promises to save more lives. When the perfect storm brews(酝酿) over the boundless sea and lives are
in danger, a crew of highly trained professionals takes up a mission impossible to search for and rescue
survivors from the rough waters. Wan Qiuwen is one of them. And, she’s a woman.
The 36-year-old from Shanghai has broken the glass ceiling to become one of China’s first two
female rescue helicopter pilots who respond to search and rescue missions involving cargo ship snags
(货船遇险), vessel accidents, medical emergencies and special operations at sea. The demanding nature
of the profession had always favored male candidates until the rules were changed for the first and only
time. She says, “Rescue at sea can be both challenging and terrifying. If you don’t think and act fast,
people may die.”
On Aug 20, 2020, an oil tanker ferrying 3,000 metric tons of gasoline crashed with a cargo ship

{#{QQABIQiQogggAAIAARhCAwnACgGQkhCACQgOxFAMsAIAiAFABAA=}#}loaded with sand and gravel about 1.5 nautical miles (2,778 meters) southeast of the Yangtze River
estuary, sparking a fire on the deck of the oil tanker and causing the latter to sink. Wan was among the
first rescuers. She flew to the site from Gaodong helicopter airport, which is the country’s first-of-its-
kind marine rescue launchpad (发射台). “The tanker was still burning and there was a thick envelope
of smoke, reducing visibility to near zero.” she recalls. And yet, with her sea wisdom, Wan spotted a
survivor and carried out a successful rescue operation. She circled around above the troubled waters
for a couple of minutes to estimate the best point to rescue, and then threw down a rope and pulled up
a seriously injured crew member.
Now, a mother of a boy, when people ask her if she will continue to fly once her child grows up,
Wan’s response is definite. “This profession is about saving lives and I am a rescue pilot, once and
always.”
24. What do the underlined words “broken the glass ceiling” probably mean?
A. Winning wide praise.
B. Making a personal breakthrough.
C. Disobeying rules of her career.
D. Breaking barriers preventing women’s advancement.
25. Which of the following best describe Wan Qiuwen?
A. Professional and determined. B. Courageous and creative.
C. Conservative and hardworking. D. Responsible and self-disciplined.
26. What can be learned from the accident happening on August 20, 2020?
A. It is visible for Wan to see clearly the site from the sky.
B. Both the oil tanker and the cargo ship sank after collision.
C. During the rescue, Wan threw down a rope without hesitation.
D. Before taking rescue action Wan made a judgement on the situation.
27. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To call on more people to be a sea-rescue pilot.
B. To inform the risks of becoming a sea-rescue pilot.
C. To introduce an exceptional woman sea-rescue pilot.
D. To educate people the meaning of breaking through gender prejudice.
C
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a strong weapon in the world's efforts against global warming. But the
effects of EVs depend on what country you are in. In some nations, electric vehicles lead to the release
of more carbon gasses than gasoline cars, new research shows.
The Radiant Energy Group (REG) compared gas emissions caused by a gasoline vehicle and from
charging an electric vehicle. The study compared the emissions caused by charging a Tesla Model 3 to
drive 100 kilometers with the emissions coming from an average gasoline car driven the same distance.
Countries where charging an electric vehicle is cleaner than driving a gasoline-powered car use a
lot of hydroelectric(水力发电的), nuclear or solar power.
Sales of electric cars are rising the fastest in Europe. Data from REG suggests that EVs in Poland
and Kosovo actually create more carbon emissions because their electric systems depend so much on
coal.
In other European countries, however, EVs result in reduced emissions. The carbon gas reduction
depends on what energy supplies electricity systems and the time of day vehicles are charged.
The countries with the biggest carbon gas savings from EVs use a lot of nuclear and hydroelectric
power. An EV driver in Germany reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent over a gasoline car.
Germany uses a mix of renewable energy and coal to produce electricity.
Germany and Spain create a lot of electricity from the sun and wind. But the sun and wind do not
add to a country's electricity system equally throughout the day.
For this reason, the amount of carbon emissions saved by driving an EV depends on the time of
day it is being charged. Charging in the afternoon, when there is more sun and wind, saves 16 to 18
percent more carbon than at night when electricity systems are more likely to be using gas or coal.
Automakers including General Motors, Stellantis and Volkswagen have set targets to sell mainly
electric vehicles in Europe in the coming years. U.S. car manufacturer General Motors said it will have
all new electric cars by 2022.

A role shift—whether a promotion, a move to a new organization, or a fresh challenge in your
existing job—can be a huge boost to your career and a chance for you to succeed. You know the drill
heading in: Apply your experience and talents to the position, make sure you are accepted by the
hierarchy (高层), and get a few big wins in the first couple of months to demonstrate what you can do.
But in today’s hyper-collaborative and dynamic workplaces, successful moves aren’t as easy as
they once were, even for the most qualified and hard-working people. Too often, transitional managers
and employees don’t live up to their organizations’ expectations. Gartner surveys indicate that a full
49% of people promoted within their own companies are underperforming up to 18 months after those
moves, and McKinsey reports that 27% to 46% of transitional executives are regarded as failures or
disappointments two years later. They have the right skills and experience. They understand the
company’s goals. So why didn’t they quickly excel in their new roles?
We analyzed employee relationships and communication patterns across more than 100 diverse
companies and interviewed 160 executives in 20 of them. Our research points to one overlooked
prerequisite (先决条件) for transition success: the effective use of internal networks. The people who
are the most productive, innovative, and engaged in new roles — the “fast movers” — are those who
establish extremely broad, mutually beneficial, uplifting connections from the start. Specifically, they
surge rapidly into a broad network; identify how they add value, where they fall short, and who can fill
the gaps; create scale; and shape their networks for maximum thriving.
In most cases, individual managers must do these things on their own. Only 43% of people
surveyed said their organizations ensured that transitional employees were offered guidance and
support. Only about a quarter said their employers encouraged them to build connections early or create
networks to address skill gaps. But that should not be the case.
32. What does the author say about job moves in today’s society?
A. They are a boost to our career. B. They require ability demonstration.
C. They may not produce good results. D. They need to be guided by managers.

A. They are inexperienced. B. They lack the needed skills.
C. They misunderstand the company’s goals. D. They fail to use internal networks effectively.

A. By using exact numbers. B. By conducting surveys.
C. By making contrasts. D. By listing examples.
35. What does the author think of the phenomenon in the last paragraph?

How to learn a new language as an adult
As humans age, unfortunately adults become a bit less adaptable than kids—and we don’t just
mean physically! The good news is that learning a language isn’t really that hard! 36 .
It’s about connection.
Firstly, it’s important to remember that learning a language is not really about learning a language.
37 . Keeping that in mind can really help you achieve your goals. Try to connect with people you
may know, or listen to music in your target language, or read about the country’s history.
Also remember that you have to be ready to share your own unique human experience with others
in that language. 38 . If I’m learning, say, Italian, I would never remember how to say “dove è
la biblioteca?” (“where is the library?”) but I will always remember how to say “Dov’è la pizza e il
vino? Subito!” (Where is the pizza and wine? Quick.)
Make it entertaining.
Engaging with entertainment in the language learning makes your learning easier and enjoyable.
39 . Not only will these forms of entertainment lend added cultural and regional insights, but
they’ll help you have fun while doing it. This will help you see your goal through until the end.
40 .
While you are learning, don’t be too hurried. Learn to love your progress and celebrate your
successes. The road to fluency can be hard, but the view along the way is really amazing, so it’s OK if
you are driving slow.
A. Patience is key
B. Treasure every bit of efforts
C. Therefore, make sure what you’re learning is related to you
D. But it does take commitment and motivation to achieve your goals
E. Trying to remember a single new word again and again is boring but rewarding
F. TV shows, films, and even video games are all great forms for learning a new language
G. What you’re actually learning is how to communicate in a new way with other human beings

1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last 53 , saying clearly that his wealth would
be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great 54 to mankind in physics,

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I had always dreamed of taking a solo trip around the world. After years of saving and planning,
I finally started my adventure. My first stop was a small town in Italy. I arrived in the town in the late
afternoon, and the golden sunlight bathed the ancient buildings and narrow streets. I checked into a
cozy little hotel and immediately went out to explore. The town was filled with charming cafes, small
boutiques, and friendly locals. I spent hours wandering through the streets, taking in the sights and
sounds.
The next day, I decided to visit a nearby vineyard (葡萄园). I rented a bike and went through the
beautiful countryside. The vineyard was a sight to enjoy, with rows upon rows of grapevines as far as
the eye could see. I spent the day learning about wine-making and sampling delicious wines.
On my third day, I met a local artist named Marco. He invited me to his studio and showed me
his amazing paintings. We spent the afternoon chatting and sharing stories.
Later that week, I joined a cooking class and learned to make traditional Italian pasta. It was a
messy but fun experience.
One evening, as I was sitting in a piazza, enjoying an ice cream, I noticed a group of musicians
playing. The music was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes.
A few days later, I decided to move on to my next destination. I said goodbye to the town and the
people I had met, but I knew that this place would always hold a special place in my heart.
I took a train to the next city, but when I arrived at the station, I realized that I had lost my wallet.
I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. I was starting to panic. I had no money, no credit cards, and
no way to pay for a place to stay. What should I do?
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as I was feeling completely hopeless, a kind stranger came to me.
With his help, I finally found my wallet and continued my journey.
