I first met Charlie in the community soon after buying my apartment. He was a relatively short man around his
第 4页/共 12页mid-70s. At first, Charlie was very friendly and got along with people in a rather relaxing way.
But a few weeks later, the first time I joined the community meeting, things became difficult. The hot topic
was to take control of the community gardens from Charlie and employ a professional gardener to do the job
instead. All but Charlie agreed with the suggestion. Charlie had been doing the gardens as if they were his personal
belongings. The problem was that his efforts weren’t what the rest of the owners seemed to want, and this led to a
debate. As the meeting developed into a slanging match (互相谩骂), I decided to say something.
“Look! As a new owner, I have no interest in what happened in the past. I’m interested in how to solve the
present situation. The problem is that I can’t even open my garage door properly because there’s a tree planted too
close to it. Finding a professional gardener to solve the problem sounds like a great solution to me.”
Most of the other owners appeared relieved, but Charlie was annoyed. Finally, at the request of everyone,
except Charlie, a professional gardener was hired to manage the community gardens.
From that day on, I became Charlie’s enemy. Later, I learned that he always lived in his own world. He was
lonely because he had no friends, and he managed to alienate everyone in his life.
Suddenly one day, Charlie fell down the stairs, breaking his leg. Out of pity, I went to the hospital to care for
him. During the three months we spent together, I gradually accepted this stubborn old man. After Charlie left the
hospital, he became kind not just to me, but to the rest of the community. Since then, the friend lines s of the whole
community has raised a lot.
24. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. Charlie lived in harmony with all the neighbors.
B. The gardens in the community belong to Charlie.
C. Charlie’s efforts weren’t recognized by the rest of the owners.
D. All the owners agreed to find a suitable gardener to do the job.
25. Why did the author mention the tree?
A. To say something. B. To show his anger.
C. To make new friends. D. To support the proposal.
26. What does the underlined word “alienate” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Give way to B. Stay away from C. Keep track of D. Be concerned about
27. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Fair and kind B. Helpful and creative C. Brave and curious D. Lonely and stubborn
C
第 5页/共 12页Engineers at Deakin University have developed a new smart generation schoolbag that will end the days when
students end up forgetting their homework, particularly since the smart schoolbag is capable of completing its own
morning checklist.
According to a recent press release, the smart schoolbag comes with built-in hardware and software that works
to ensure it is packed correctly for each day’s timetable, including lunch and sports equipment.
The bag was designed by Dr Hamid Abdi alongside Masters students at Deakin University. It uses Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) tags (标签) to detect items in the bag and Internet of Things (IOT) technology,
which extends Internet connectivity to everyday objects. “RFID technology allows any user to detect items in the
bag in a contactless way,” Dr Abdi says. The Internet of Things (IOT) technology is employed to check its contents
against the daily school plan. Schools or parents can enter data about the activities of each day to the system’s IOT
server. The server then links these activities to the RFID tags placed on the items needed. The smart school-bag can
tell what items are not required, ensuring that the bag is no heavier than it needs to be.
The smart schoolbag will save a lot of time and stress that occurs when homework, hats or lunches are left
home by mistake, especially if that requires parents to quickly race home to collect the missing item.
While the system can be fitted to any schoolbag, the team have designed a sample of the smart schoolbag that
includes the smartphone application. Dr Abdi and his team are looking for commercial partners to take the project
to the next level.
28. Why do the engineers develop the smart schoolbag?
A. To give a morning call. B. To help homework correcting.
C. To reduce study pressure. D. To remind pupils of school items.
29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the smart schoolbag?
A. Its application. B. Its working principle.
C. Its advantage. D. Its characteristics.
30. What does Dr Abdi expect of the smart schoolbag?
A. I’ll replace parental duties. B. I’ll ensure academic progress.
C. I’ll reach consumers soon. D. I’ll be environment-friendly.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. A Smart Schoolbag Saves Time and Stress
B. A Smart Schoolbag Will Replace an Ordinary Bag
C. The Latest System of Detecting Missing Items
第 6页/共 12页D. The First Generation of a Smart Schoolbag

In the days before the Internet, critical (批判性的) thinking was the most important skill of well-educated
people. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a social scientist at the Max Planck Institute of
Human Development, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring”.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete
(竞争) for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little
useful information, so they can expose (暴露) us to money-making advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer
customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this,
Kozyreva calls for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers control their information environment on
purpose to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our environments,
which involves getting rid of the low-quality yet hard-to-resist (抵制) information from around. Successful dieters
need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where
attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click
eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it's better to just keep them out of sight in the beginning.
The next is to make a judgement about whether the information is reliable, so that you can be protected from
false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the top news media which is widely
considered as being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls”. Trolls are actors who spread false and hurtful information
online on purpose to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care
about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By improving our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding
being hurt by those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
32. What is “critical ignoring”?
A. The process of spotting and analyzing poor quality data.
B. The skill of not paying attention to online information.
C The ability to analyze information to come to a conclusion.
D. The art of choosing what information you let into your life.
33. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3?
第 7页/共 12页A. To discuss the quality of information. B. To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C. To show the importance of environments. D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
34. What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text?
A. Expose their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Importance of critical ignoring in online search.
B. Ways to practice critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Benefits of critical ignoring in the attention economy.
D. Strategies to improve critical thinking among online users.
第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether things go right or wrong, feedback is always necessary. ____36____ However, providing effective
feedback is not easy, as it typically requires several components. Now let’s examine each of them.
Start on a positive note. Constructive criticism should always start on a positive note. It feels unfair and rude if
someone tells you everything you did wrong without acknowledging your achievements. So when giving feedback
don’t just note the mistakes the receivers have made. ____37____
Be specific. Effective feedback needs to be specific. Inform the receivers precisely what aspects require
improvement so they can identify and address those areas. For example, don’t say, “Your presentation was unclear. ”
Instead, say something like, “The introduction of your presentation was a bit confusing. ____38____ ” This way,
the receiver knows exactly what to concentrate on and can make more targeted improvements.
____39____ The whole point of feedback is to help someone make changes for the better. So you should
provide ideas on how to improve. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that your ideas are actionable. For instance, “You
need to work on your communication skills” sounds too general. It would be much better if you say, “Try
practicing active listening and summarizing what others say to ensure you understand them fully. ”
Be timely. ____40____ It only works if it happens very close to an issue arising. For example, say you’re with
a coworker and notice something in the sales pitch he is working on. Instead of waiting for him to run into
problems, provide the feedback right away. This gives the receiver the chance to make changes and avoid problems.
A. Offer practical advice.
B. Focus on making changes.
第 8页/共 12页C. It helps us learn from our mistakes and grow.
D. It lacks a clear topic sentence at the beginning.
E. Feedback isn’t of much use if it comes too late.
F. The feedback acknowledges the hard work the person did.
G. Instead, begin by recognizing their effort and what they got right.

When something that’s important to you disappears, don’t be hopeless. It may miraculously (奇迹般地) come
back sooner or later. I learned it on one winter day.
It was one of those busy days. Especially, I had lots of clothes to wash. and Karen, my four-year-old kid, kept
following me, pulling my shirt and crying for attention. I was annoyed. To stop her troubling me and make her
quiet, I searched the drawers in the bedroom and found-a bag of forgotten balloons. “Yellow,” she said with joy.
The balloons were the gifts for her that her uncle had bought abroad. These balloons were of good quality and
very unique, unable to be found at least in our small town. Among the balloons, the yellow one was Karen’s
favorite. And there was only one yellow balloon. She viewed it as her best friend and even signed her name on its
surface.
After I blew the balloon up, she cheerfully took it with tiny fingers, touching it and telling it her secrets.
Immediately. her attention was attracted.
After lunch. we prepared to go to the local public clothes-washing shop. Before long. I was ready. Carrying
her yellow balloon. Karen followed me into oat car. On the way, she was singing and had fun with the balloon. She
kept beating the balloon against the back of the car seat. As I turned the corner, trying to keep my attention on my
driving, I felt a sudden, big wind blow across my feet. I called out at once, “Karen! Close the window. It’s cold out!”
And then I heard her frightened scream. In a hurry, I looked over my shoulder, expecting to see some terrible
insects that led to her being frightened. But there wasn’t one. Karen was looking out of the window. both arms
reaching out, as if to get something. And she cried, “Balloon, balloon. Come back! Come back!” Then. she turned
