I was then new to the world of reporting and often sent for easier assignments, but I was eager to get my hands on the tougher stuff to make a positive impression on my seniors.I convinced a senior colleague named Joy to let me follow his meeting with Sitaram Yechury, who was then a member of the Rajya Sabha. Joy tasked me with sourcing the DV tapes (digital videotapes) from the tape library and keeping them safe after we recorded Yechurys comments. After we recorded the first sound bite, we went from one office to another, collecting more and more statements for the final story, which was supposed to air that night. When we got back to the office later that evening, Joy asked me to replay the tapes with Yechurys comments. I played the recordings over and over. To my horror and disbelief, they took wing. Was this going to cost me my job, the one I had tried so hard to land? When Joy approached and asked me for the sound bite, I broke down. He didnt reprove me for the mistake. “Arent you angry about what I did today? Im really sorry,” I said in a low voice. He smiled and replied, “Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes. Your most dissatisfying events are your greatest source of learning.”I stared at Joy with gratitude. He taught me the most important professional lesson of my life.24. Why did the author turn to Joy for the task?A. To show off her talent.B. To get herself recognized.C. To report an exhibition.D. To make friends with Yechury.25. What was the author anxious about in paragraph 3?A. Losing her job.B. Hunting for a job.C. Admitting a mistake.D. Damaging the tapes.26. What does the underlined word “reprove” mean in paragraph 4?A. Forgive.B. Defend.C. Suspect.D. Blame.27. What may the author learn from Joys words?A. No pains, no gains.B. Admitting mistakes matters.C Mistakes will make us grow.D. Failure is the mother of success.CTheres a researcher in Denmark who has spent 25 years surveying insect populations by driving his old Ford Anglia down the same country roads and counting the number of small insects squashed (挤压) up against the glass window of his car. Back when he started, hed regularly have to clean dead insects off his car. But in recent years, he has experienced a lot of “zero-insect days”. He recalls the joy of catching fireflies on his family farm in Texas as a child. With more streetlights and the switch to LED lights, its becoming harder for fireflies to spot potential mates. Imagine a world without insects! We might breathe a sigh of relief at the thought of mosquito-free summers. However a world with no insects is unlikely. Insects are being shifted to an unhappy state where there will be far more bedbugs (床虱) and mosquitoes and far fewer bees and monarch butterflies. Those changes in biodiversity come with some results. Farmers may have to fight off more of the harmful insects that attack crops, for instance, and insect-pollinated fruits and vegetables will become hard to grow on a large scale. Some insect-eating animals will decline with a lack of food, which has already happened to some birds. Water and soil quality could also be in danger. After knowing some facts, we may find that our attitude towards some insects has shifted from loathing (憎恶) to love, or at the very least, appreciation. We can know how much we benefit from insects, and what we stand to lose without them. As researcher Martin puts it, “Our reliance on insects is like the Internet: When parts of the network are removed, the less Internet there is, until eventually it doesnt work anymore.” A world without the Internet would be difficult but livable. The same cant be said for a world without insects.28. What has the Danish researcher found in recent years?A. Few people pay special attention to fireflies.B. Insects are having a survival crisis.C. Country roads are perfect for firefly catching.D. Many insects can avoid moving cars.29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The damage insects do to crops.B. The reduction of insect-eating animals.C. Ways to deal with biodiversity.D. Consequences of changes in insect varieties.30. What can be inferred from Martins comment?A. Insects are as important as the Internet.B Insects are appreciated by human beings.C. Humans cant help but live with the Internet.D. Humans are heavily dependent on insects.31. What is the purpose of this text?A. To explain the importance of insects.B. To recall a childhood experience.C. To present peoples attitude to insects.D. To express appreciation to insects.DThe dark days of the Depression saw an increased demand for stories that excite children in new ways and support them in processing difficult emotions. The features of personalized books meet this need well. With personalized Loss Books, children read about losing a family member. With personalized Me and My Pet Books, children read about how they first met their dogs or cats. Identified as the main driver of the rapidly growing interactive childrens book market, personalized books are far from a gimmick (噱头). Personalized books are printed or digital books that have been tailored to the needs of a specific child. They follow a simple principle: the publisher provides the users with a pattern, which parents populate with childrens data. Thanks to the advanced print-on-demand possibilities of small-scale publishers, its not difficult to create a personalized version of any story. Publishers claim that personalized books teach children empathy (同理心) and encourage love for reading. Now, you might think that it is surely what all parents and teachers want, so should we replace all books with personalized stories? Recent observational studies confirmed publishers claim that children are highly engaged and motivated to read personalized books. However, in a recent study, we compared childrens understanding of the moral of a story and its application to their lives after they read a personalized, non-personalized or control story. Although children who read personalized stories had more detailed retellings, there was no other difference between the three groups. This could be because the differences among the children were higher than the effect of personalization. Studies with personalized books are too few for us to know for sure. Besides, while personal stories are often used in therapeutic (治疗性的) practice or in children with special educational needs, personalized stories are a new writing style, raising many open questions. The misuse of childrens personal data and the moral questions concerning diversity make one wonder how “personalized” the books actually are. The other key point lies in directing childrens focus towards the other. Meanwhile, experts point out that given the increased focus on personalized learning during the gloomy days and the need to customize childrens reading experiences, the rising trend of personalized books will continue.32. What can we learn about personalized books?A. They are mainly in digital form.B. They are created by young writers.C. They are popular among children.D. They are highly praised by teachers.33. What does the recent study suggest?A. The varieties of personalized stories need expanding.B. The effects of personalized stories need further study.C. Personalized stories build up childrens sense of justice.D. Personalized stories help children apply what they learn.34. Whats the authors attitude to personalized books?A. Concerned.B. Critical.C. Positive.D. Objective.35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Personalized Books: a Trick or a TreatB. How Personalized Books Benefit ChildrenC. Personalized Books: a Must or an OptionD. How Personalized Books Meet Special Needs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。Drip irrigation refers to the process of dripping water onto the soil surfaces through a system of plastic pipes. _36_ Nations which have welcomed drip irrigation include China, the USA, and many others. Why? Drip irrigation has many advantages. _37_ When were using drip irrigation systems, the application of water uniformly across the land achieves high levels of water efficiency by applying water only where its needed. Thus, theres less runoff from both the soil and leaves. And research shows drip irrigation is far more effective at letting plants make use of the water applied. It encourages healthier growth of plants. Drip irrigation guarantees the soil always holds some water. Moreover, the drip systems carry out the application of water only at the plants roots, and the remaining part of the plant and soil remains dry. Thus, the emergence of waterborne pests which spread through the movement of water is greatly minimized. _38_ It prevents chemicals entering groundwater. Unlike other water spraying techniques, drip irrigation delivers water directly to the grou
