So why does Dean continue to both work extremely hard and try projects that come with the risk of rejection?‎ During our interview for Uncommon Drive, a video series for USA & Main that seeks to find out the motivations and magic of world-class business people, Dean provided a memorable answer: “You only have so much time — once it’s gone you don’t get it back. Don’t focus on money; focus on building something greater than yourself. If you’re not making history, you’re wasting your time on Earth.”‎ When you look at his answer, you will learn two important lessons. The first is in “making history”. Doing so requires awareness. You must fully understand what has and has not been achieved in the market you’ve entered. Dean makes every effort with the goal of creating something important that has not been done before and will be remembered for its impact beyond his years.‎ The second part of his statement is just as powerful. In this interview, he never once said he is “trying” to make history. Instead, he has told himself that no matter what difficulty there is, it’s just going to happen. “I’m going to make history.” Dean said. ‎ After talking to Dean for nearly 45 minutes, it was clear to me that he has removed all ego（自我）from a statement that might otherwise be misread as false pride. I believe it’s a brilliant hack — rather than focus on all the reasons why a project can’t be realized, he has convinced himself of the possibility.‎ ‎24. What is the function of the first paragraph?‎ A. To list an example. B. To offer an explanation.‎ C. To lead to the main topic. D. To make a summary.‎ ‎25. What motivates Dean to continue to work hard?‎ A. His desire to be famous.‎ B. His wish to be wealthy.‎ C. His life goal to leave his mark on history.‎ D. His adventurous spirit and imagination.‎ ‎26. What can we learn about Dean in the interview?‎ A. He takes a pride in his work.‎ B. He always believes in himself.‎ C. He can predict the possibility.‎ D. He gets prepared for his career.‎ ‎27. What’s the title of the text?‎ A. How does Kasseem Dean face rejection?‎ B. Why doesn’t Kasseem Dean want to retire?‎ C. How does Kasseem Dean make history?‎ D. What makes Kasseem Dean work hard?‎ C The world’s top automakers（汽车制造商）are increasingly offering more electric car models. This growth is expected to continue, with more people choosing to hit the road with clean- running electric cars.‎ Environmentalists have praised the automakers for taking major steps to limit harmful pollutants linked to worldwide climate change. But electric cars are also known for not producing another kind of pollution — noise. They run on batteries instead of fuels, and can operate in silence.‎ While many people might consider this a good thing, quiet cars can also cause problems. The main danger is that people around electric vehicles face a greater risk of being hit if they cannot hear the cars coming.‎ Governments in the United States and Europe have recognized this problem. So they have set requirements for automakers to add warning sounds to electric vehicles. The U.S. Department of Transportation finalized its rules a year ago. The rules require electric and hybrid （混合物） cars to be equipped with some warning sounds when moving at a speed of up to 30 kilometers per hour. The rules are aimed at preventing injuries among people walking or riding bicycles and protecting the blind.‎ So what kind of sound can we expect to hear from the next generation of electric cars? One of the easiest solutions would be for carmakers to reproduce the sound of a traditional car running on fuels. But many industry officials believe this would be a mistake. They say this would not support electric cars’ true identity. Frank Welsch, the head of technical development at Volkswagen, said that finding the perfect sound mix is not an easy process. He said, “It cannot be ‎ too annoying. It cannot sound like anything we had in the past.” An official from Mercedes-Benz said the sound was designd to provide a safe warning without annoying passengers inside the car. He said the goal was to create a car that remains completely quiet inside.‎ It might seem strange to think that part of our automotive future is currently being developed in the same kinds of recording studios used by musicians. But that is exactly what is happening. ‎ ‎28. What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about? ‎ A. The main advantages of electric cars. ‎ B. The useful ways to improve electric cars. ‎ C. The automakers’ effort to limit pollutants. ‎ D. The effect of climate change on the car industry. ‎ ‎29. Why are sounds required to be added to electric cars?‎ A. To add functions. B. To increase sales.‎ C. To prevent injuries. D. To make cars smarter.‎ ‎30. What kind of sound is suitable for electric cars?‎ A. The sound similar to that of a traditional car.‎ B. The sound not troubling people inside cars.‎ C. The sound matching cars’ identity.‎ D. The sound chosen from recorded ones.‎ ‎31. Where does the text probably come from?‎ A. A newspaper. B. An advertisement.‎ C. A science report. D. A research plan.‎ D Did you ever wonder why you have no memory of when you were a baby or very young child? The question of why adults do not remember how they learned to walk or talk has long been a mystery. Researchers at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States are looking into this question.‎ The study contained computer-based tests. The tests were designed to work like games. They were given to 32 four-year-olds, 32 six-year-olds and 50 young adults. The tests measured the memory process that helps people recognize differences between experiences. For example: A walk with your dog when you saw a friend, and a different walk without your dog or when you did ‎ not see your friend. ‎ The second test was showing the children and young adults taking the test a number of photographs. They were asked to compare the first group of photos with a second set of pictures. Sometimes, the two sets of photos were the same. But other times, they were different.‎ The results showed that in both tests, six-year-olds showed far better memory than four-year-olds. That might help explain why adults do not remember when they learned to walk or talk, but they do remember their third, fourth or fifth birthdays.‎ ‎“We don’t have any memories in the first two years of life, and all of a sudden we’re able to form these memories for something going on in early childhood or middle childhood. That’s very interesting,” said Zoe Ngo.‎ Researchers said doing some research on the memory is of great value as doctors are trying to develop a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. People with the disease suffer memory loss. For some people, memory loss is just for recent events. People may not remember what they did that morning, but remember experiences from 50 years ago. But memory loss research is not limited to helping patients with Alzheimer’s disease. It could also help find ways to get better and more reliable information about how to improve people’s memory.‎ ‎32. What do the researchers draw their attention to?‎ A. Why people fail to complete simple tasks.‎ B. Why people find it hard to learn special memory skills.‎ C. Why people cannot recall their first few years of life.‎ D. Why people have trouble forgetting past painful experiences.‎ ‎33. What is the purpose of the second test?‎ A. To check how people remember differences in objects.‎ B. To explain why people have better memory than before.‎ C. To prove when people show interest in beautiful pictures.‎ D. To show where people would like to take different photos.‎ ‎34. What can we infer from what Zoe Ngo said?‎ A. People are willing to share good old days.‎ B. People are likely to remember past special events.‎ C. People are afraid of getting unexpected bad results.‎ D. People are more concerned about their happy childhood.‎ ‎35. What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?‎ A. The way to deal with memory loss.‎ B. The importance of memory research.‎ C. The possibility of collecting information.‎ D. The measures to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Orlando is a destination filled with fun and excitement, perfect for a spring break vacation.
