Many people believe Henry Ford invented the car. But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until
1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world’s first car. Many people believe Henry Ford
invented the production line (生产线) that moved a car’s parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to
the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did
was to use other people’s ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of getting
public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford’s most famous race was his first one. It was also the
last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901 at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left:
the Winton and Ford. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain.
And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in
newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a
new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the
beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: “I will build a motor car for most people. It will be large enough for
the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be
built by the best men. It will be so low in price that everybody can afford.”
The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.
Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it.
Thousands of Model Ts were built in the first few years.
41．What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?
A．He knew how to improve car’s parts.
B．He produced the first car in the world.
C．He improved others’ good ideas.
D．He invented the first production line.
42．Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?
A．To show off his driving skills.
B．To draw public attention.
C．To learn about new technology.
D．To raise money for his new company.
43．What was Henry Ford’s dream according to the text?
A．Producing cars for common people.
B．Building very fast racing cars.
C．Designing more car models.
D．Starting more companies.
44．Why did Henry Ford become famous all over the United States?
A．Because he started a new company.
B．Because he built the first car.
C．Because his car won the race.
D．Because he drove his car so well.
45．What can we infer (推断) about the car before Model T from the passage?
A．The car was not invented until Model T. B．The car was big enough for a whole family.
C．The car was very expensive.
D．Americans didn't want cars.
C
17 million Americans with major depressive disorder each year may soon receive a surprising new
prescription: have fun on a virtual reality device.
Engaging in activities that make people with severe depression feel good may seem like overly simplistic
advice. But the science behind this idea, called “behavioral activation”, is well established. Multiple studies have
found that encouraging people to get outside or socialize can help ease the symptoms of depression. Now,
researchers have discovered that engaging in enjoyable activities with a virtual reality system may be as effective in
treating depression as taking depression patients out in the real world. And for those depressed to a level that makes
leaving the house a challenge, it could provide the benefits of getting outside.
A study by the team followed twenty-six people with major depressive disorder. Thirteen people were
assigned traditional behavioral activation, engaging with real life activities by going on outings in their community
or socializing with friends. The other thirteen people received a VR headset to participate in activities ranging from
playing table tennis to touring foreign cities.
After four weeks, both groups saw a significant decrease in their symptoms of depression and their
depression ratings. Moreover, many people who had used the VR devices said the virtual activities had helped push
them to get out of the house and be more involved in in-person activities. A researcher said, “These virtual activities
got their motors running just enough to get out of bed.”
The only negative feedback is learning how to set up the device, as well as the need for alerts or reminders to
keep people accountable for engaging in the behavioral activation. The researchers have since developed a
companion VR behavioral activation app that helps address some of these concerns.
The team says larger and longer-term studies are needed to find the best ways to administer virtual
behavioral activation, as well as which patient populations might be best targeted with the VR treatment. They also
think more efforts are needed to inform clinicians about how to prescribe VR behavioral activation appropriately.
They believe the cost and ease of many VR platforms make it an easy treatment to scale up.
46．Which of the following is the best example of “behavioral activation” for people with depression?
A．Watching a cooking show on TV at home.
B．Reading mystery novels alone in the study.
C．Participating in a local charity event with others.
D．Playing single player video games on a computer.
47．How did the team conduct the study?
A．By interviewing the patients in hospital.
B．By keeping track of two groups’ transformations.
C．By using VR to simulate the patients’ conditions.
D．By comparing VR therapy with medicine treatment.
48．What does the team think of the VR treatment?
A．Complex.
B．Effective.
C．Secure.
D．Exceptional.
49．What specific aspect do the researchers plan to further explore regarding VR treatment?
A．The suitable strategies for applying VR treatment.
B．The acceptance of the VR treatment for patients.
C．The development of a VR behavioral activation app.
D．The cost of popularizing VR platforms.
50．According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred?
A．VR treatment is already the mainstream in clinics.
B．The VR app will soon replace face-to-face-therapy.
C．Traditional activation has outperformed VR activation.
D．VR success may boost non-traditional therapy research

How long does it take for a rose to bloom? For a boy to grow into a man? How long does it take to prepare
your favorite meal? How long does it take to build a house with a firm foundation, or travel to your favorite
destination?
My point is that good things take time. The best things in life not only take time, but are worth waiting for.
Why, then, do we yield to the temptation of instant satisfaction? A news piece pops on our Facebook, and we only
read the headline. We prefer articles that we can skim in 2 minutes but they never teach us anything new. We get
annoyed when the waiter takes too long to bring out our food or get angry when traffic keeps us for an extra 10
minutes. We give up when it takes too long to achieve a goal or never start at all.
The best things in life take time, so train yourself to wait patiently for things to come. Patience is something
we can all work on. However, too much patience causes procrastination and inaction which can keep you stuck in a
bad place for a really long time. Passively waiting with no plan of action is not the same thing as having the virtue
of patience. When you think of the virtue of patience, think of Aristotle’s virtue theory and the golden mean… the
golden mean is the perfect midpoint between two extremes.
On one extreme is the lack of patience which causes impatience, intolerance and rashness— on the other
extreme is indifference and inaction. The perfect middle point is a virtuous patient individual who knows how to
wait until it is the right time to act.
So, to achieve your dreams, you have to have just the right amount. Lots of people have “too much patience”
or are comfortable passively waiting and end up wasting time. They are willing to put up with long commutes, bad
relationships and unfulfilling jobs just to pay the bills…… passively waiting keeps people right where they are,
stuck in the status quo(现状).
Living the life you’ve always imagined and achieving your dreams will require you at some point to say
“enough is enough!” In other words, to lose some patience and give yourself a push to achieve your dreams. If you
really want to change your life and achieve your dreams, you will need to work at it. The first step may be when
you finally say to yourself-enough is enough! And the right amount of patience will move you closer.
Be patient enough with yourself so you keep going. Don’t be so patient with yourself that you put off for
tomorrow what you could do today and you will achieve your goals.
51．The author asks several questions to________.
A．show a boy takes a long time to grow into a man
B．highlight it may take a long time to prepare a favourite meal
C．show his interest in building a house with a firm foundation
D．present his concerns about his observing in his life.
52．What is the closest meaning of the underlined words “yield to” in Paragraph 2?
A．stick to
B．give in to
C．hold back
D．hand over to
53．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．We tend to read the news quickly so that we can learn something new.
B．We may fail to be angry if we wait a long time for our food.
C．Too much patience is necessary sometimes for us to achieve our dreams.
D．Too much patience or too little of patience is harmful for to achieve our dreams.
54．According to the author, why do some people prefer to wait passively?
A．Because they have too little patience.
B．Because they have too much patience.
C．Because they are stuck in the status quo.
D．Because they will have to put up with bad relationship.
55．What is mainly discussed in the passage?

The autumn wind woke me up from my dream. I took a deep breath and looked around. Suddenly I saw two
people approaching me. As there was no one else in the park. they caught my attention immediately.
The two people were getting closer and I heard them laughing. At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if
they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts. But all of a sudden, I noticed the age of them
— they were old. I could not clearly identify their age, but the woman looked as old as my grandmother. She had
grey hair, blue eyes. And a smile on her face. And all the time she was looking at HIM...
“Jim, I think we should change the park. It’s the same every Saturday. You know...” “Sus! Hug me.”— that
was all he said. He looked at her, smiled and gave her a hug.
At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be
complaining, he loved her! I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that
might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of
them would outlive the other. And the one that outlives will think the life they spent together was the most
beautiful period of their life.
They left, and I was sitting on my bench, shocked, and I had a special feeling in my heart. This feeling was
hope! The old couple with all the complaints and tons of mistakes behind their backs made me realize that it was
happiness that mattered in life. Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the
person you had dedicated your life to. I made a wish — waking up one day, being old and feeling proud of being
together with the person I loved to overcome all the obstacles and fight for happiness.
56．Why did the author become angry at the old couple’s laugh?(no more than 15 words)
57．How did the author understand what she saw later?(no more than 10 words)
58．What did the author learn from the old couple?(no more than 10 words)
