Swallow your pride and ask a lot of questions.What I should be telling the young and ambitious is this: being really good at one thing is fantastic until it isn't. The day may come, in my experience, will come, when you know you want to do, want to be, something else. For example, 20-somethings, one day you might want to appear on Dancing With the Stars. Tm not sure if Sean Spicer is a fbol or a genius fbr turning down this opportunity fbr his first post-Adniinistration performance. Maybe he's not aware that Apolo Ohno was placed first on the show.Or maybe you'll want to run fbr President. Never mind that it was a President-Abraham Lincoln-who popularized the warning about switching horses in midstream. If you arc a real estate tycoon and loud-mouthed TV star who made a name fbr yourself with a combination of instinct, bravado(虚张声势)and riding the wave of chaos you create everywhere you go, then who cares what Abe Lincoln said? The White House is the logical next career step.Or, 20-somethings, maybe you'll do both! At the same time! After all, doesn't today's White House sort of resemble Dancing With the Stars, if you squint(眯眼)hard and use your imagination? With experts and amateurs working together, trying to make it all look gracefiil while the audience alternatively laughs and cries?So, folks, an assignment: Ask yourself what you're good at. As fbr me, aside from what I most recently did fbr a living-writing, editing, managing people and showing up to meetings on time-my greatest strengths seem to be making vacation packing lists and remembering which houses in my town are on the market. So I have entered this next phase of my life with gratitude (fbr what I've accomplished), humility (about all that I don't know) and fear (see random greatest strengths). I used to be filled with optimism: if Donald Tnimp could become President, anything seemed possible. But with each passing month, and each new failure, my optimism dims. If he wanted to try something new, wouldn't Dancing With the Stars have been a wiser choice?63. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. Only failure contributes to the development of one's humility.B. Donald Trump is the very person fbr the US presidency.C. Career success encourages overestimate of oneself.D. College education is a must fbr a successftil career.64. What is the writer's attitude towards job hopping?A. Check whether one's skill meets the requirements of the potential new job.B. Seize each and every random opportunity that conics along.C. Be optimistic about the potential new job and anything is possible.D. Job hopping is such a severe danger as to be avoided.65. The writer's implicit comment on the White House could beIt functions ideally as the political center of the United Slates.A. It is the logical next career step for a wealthy and famous person.B. It is as attractive and interesting as Dancing with the Stars.C. It is a stage where officials don't know how to run the country.66. What could be implied by the underlined "it isn't”?A. What one is really good at disappears.B. One feels no more fantastic about the job.C. One's ambition weakens as he or she ages.D. One tries to change to a new job.Section CDirections: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can he used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.We are a nation of unhealthy sleepers. Ten percent of us are insomniacs, many more wake up constantly throughout the night, and a growing number of us are simply too obsessed with smartphones to put them down and go to bed.But what's the worst kind of sleep fbr your health: the kind where you keep a normal bedtime but are constantly up every few hours, or the kind where you go to bed late and only get a few hours of shut-eye. _67_.Reporting in the journal Sleep, lead author Patrick Finan, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and his colleagues conducted one of the first studies comparing the two types of sleep-interrupted sleep and abbreviated sleep-in a group of 62 healthy men and women who were good sleepers. The participants spent three days and nights in a sleep lab and answered questions about their mood every evening before dozing off. While they slept, the researchers measured their sleep stages so they could document when and how much of each stage of sleep, from light to deeper slumber, each volunteer got every night. A third were randomly assigned to be woken up several times a night; another third were not allowed to go to sleep until later but weren,t woken up.68.When Finan compared the three group's mood ratings, he found that the interrupted and short sleepers both showed drops in positive mood after the first night. But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report declining positive feelings while the short sleepers did not69This drop in positivemood occurred regardless of what the participants reported on the negative scale. So having disrupted sleep, says Finan, may have a stronger effect on dampening positive mood than it does on increasing negative emotions.When he looked at the brain patterns of the two dismpted sleep groups, he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less slow wave sleep, or the deep sleep that is normally linked to feeling restored and rested, than those getting the same amount of sleep but in a continuous session. lkWc saw a drop in slow wave sleep large and sudden,M says Finan.44 70 "After a bad night's sleep, you arc unlikely to be in the best of moods.A. They stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night.B. The final, control group was allowed to sleep uninterrupted throughout the night.C. Scientists might finally have an answer.D. They feel more and more frustrated emotionally.E. It was associated with a striking drop in positive mood, very different than in the other group.IV. Summary Writing(10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 6() words. Use your own words as far as possible.Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆)increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry.There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After 50, it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can a fleet communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, fbr example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don't remember even seeing it, that's far more concerning.When you forget entire experiences, it's a red flag that something more serious may be involved.Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, people shouldn't panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications （药物）like antidepressants. Defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive （认知的）reserve.Read books, go to movies, take up new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.71.V.

Grammar and Vocabulary (每题 1 分；共 20 分)Section ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.People have been painting pictures fbr at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind21(find) on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No22knows why they were paintedthere. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people 23 (use) became a kind of alphabet. The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture writing and pictures together.24an important persondied, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modem comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is home25comicstrips. But, fbr the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people 26 not understand it. By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a27(simple) system of writing. The signs they used werevery easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied28idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used29theworld.These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them 30: in books andnewspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.
