And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed (赐予)with and go.‎ ‎●J.K. Rowling, Harvard University Half my lifetime ago ,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty(贫穷), but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.‎ ‎●Steve Jobs, Stanford University Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.‎ ‎●Bill Gates, Harvard University We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a ‎ revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities，smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平）like hunger, poverty, and so on.‎ ‎21. What Michael Dell said is to urge us to _____  .‎ A. listen to our heart B. learn from our mistakes ‎ C. follow others' example D. pursue our dreams ‎22. What did J.K. Rowling fear most when she was studying in university?‎ A. Failure. B. Hunger. C. Poverty. D. Appearance.‎ ‎23. What does Bill Gates suggest people do?‎ A. Master as much advanced technology as possible.‎ B. Make joint efforts to rid some global problems.‎ C. Make contributions to the environment.‎ D. Take responsibility for their own behavior.‎ B With Halloween just around the corner, today we will explore the world of ghosts in this program!The Merriam-Webster online dictionary says the word “ghost” goes back a thousand years to the “earliest recorded evidence of the language.” The first meaning of “ghost” was “the seat of life or intelligence.” And it still has that meaning in some expressions.‎ However, today, the word “ghost” usually means the soul of a dead person. This meaning is based on the idea that a person’s spirit and body are separate. The spirit can continue existing long after the body has died.‎ During Halloween, kids dressed as ghosts are common sights. The costume is very simple: just throw on a white cloth that covers you from head to foot. But do not expect to win any costume competitions! You would not have a ghost of a chance. People use this expression to mean that something is very unlikely to happen.‎ The sight might even make you turn pale as a ghost. This is used when people lose color in their face. Sometimes this happens when a person is scared. But a bad cold or flu can also turn you as pale as a ghost.‎ ‎“Ghost” can also be a verb. In the 1880s the term ghost meant a person who works in secret for another person. Ghostwriters produce speeches for politicians. They also produce books for authors who want to tell their life stories but are not professional writers.‎ And sometimes ghostwriters are involved in a series of books, like the children’s stories based ‎ on the teenage detective Nancy Drew. The series began in 1930. The author given credit was Carolyn Keene. But she was not even real! Ghostwriters did all the work.‎ Another expression using “ghost” as a verb is simply to ghost. This does not mean to die. It means to leave a place or event without saying “goodbye” to anyone. You can ghost from your job. You can ghost from a party. You can even ghost from a relationship. This is when you stop communicating with someone because you are simply no longer interested in them.‎ But I will not ghost from Words and Their Stories.‎ ‎24. The basic meaning of the word “ghost” nowadays is ___________.‎ A. the secret of another person B. the color of one’s face ‎ C. the spirit of a dead person D. the origin of intelligence ‎ ‎25.If someone says “you don’t have a ghost of chance to win the match”, he means__________. ‎ A. without doubt you won’t lose the match ‎ B. the match is unlikely to happen C. it’s impossible for you to win the match ‎ D. you are too scared to win the match ‎26. What can be inferred about the word “ghost” according to the passage?‎ A. Kids dressed in a white cloth like ghosts can win a costume competition.‎ B. A bad cold can turn people as pale as a ghost because they fear illness.‎ C. It was Carolyn Keene who ghostwrote the children’s stories.‎ D. A person devoted to his job is unlikely to ghost from his job.‎ ‎27. This passage is likely to appear in __________.‎ A. a Halloween poster B. a radio program ‎ C. a fashion magazine D. a newspaper advertisement C Scientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure. Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.‎ ‎ In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are ‎ released into the wild.‎ ‎ Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.‎ ‎ Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).‎ ‎ Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country's borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.‎ ‎28. What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?‎ ‎ A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.‎ ‎ B. Removing the destructive species for ever.‎ ‎ C. Having changed genes in their next generations.‎ ‎ D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.‎ ‎29. As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?‎ ‎ A. They may become weaker or die out.‎ ‎ B. They may be more productive.‎ ‎ C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.‎ ‎ D. Their genes may spread to later generations.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.‎ ‎ B. Scientists won't modify any genes before they make the final decision.‎ ‎ C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.‎ ‎ D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.‎ ‎31. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Stop research on gene control ‎ B. How to change genetic structure ‎ C. Power and danger of gene control ‎ D. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants D It’s a familiar feeling. Your friend has made the team for Saturday’s big game, and you take a certain pleasure in telling him you can’t be there to watch him play. You smile, but that voice in you asks, why him and not you?‎ Envy is a fault that we like to keep secret. It raises its ugly head when we focus on what we want but don’t possess now, or we may even wish for and take pleasure in someone losing it. Feelings of unfairness are part of being human, but when you focus on them, you can never get out of your dark emotions. And that makes you feel bad.‎ So is there a solution? Is there anything you can do to stop the most ungenerous emotions?‎ Well, why not turn envy on its head, and make it the encouragement you need for self-improvement? The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine, but to do your absolute best where you can.‎ Start by making peace with yourself, and accept the gifts which make you unique. Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be. Then find out exactly the circumstances and qualities in others that start your envy. Is it someone’s singing voice, their work promotion or their new car? Envy shows us the things we’d like to have, so make up a plan to earn what’s important to you. Sign up for a night class. Start a training program. Give up a treat or two, and start saving for what you want.‎ And aim for real pleasure in the achievements and good fortune of others. Cheer on your friend when he scores that goal. Enjoy your best friend’s wedding day. Then go out and do something special, and make yourself wonderfully proud of you.‎ ‎32. The first paragraph is intended to ______.‎ A. introduce the topic B. tell the main idea ‎ C. ask questions D. give examples ‎ ‎33. When envy appears, we actually______.‎ A. ignore its existence B. share it with friends C. have feelings of unfairness D. lose something of our own ‎34. What is the best way to help stop envy?‎ A.Developing your own strengths to the full.‎ B. Competing for what you are not good at. ‎ C. Forgetting about the things you can’t get. ‎ D. Trying to get anything that makes you envy.‎ ‎35. How does the author sound in the passage?‎ A. Unconcerned B. Worried C. Subjective D. Objective 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。‎ ‎ 5 Reasons Change Is Good for You We all know that change is hard because your brain is used to doing the same thing over and over again. 36 But the positive consequence is really great. Here are five reasons why change is good for you:‎ ‎ 37 ‎ Life in the comfort zone is easy. You simply follow a routine and you can predict the consequences. Outside of the comfort zone, your assumptions are challenged. Theidea of doing the same thing over and over without question is discouraged.‎ You get to experience more.‎ ‎ 38 When you look back on your life, all of the really amazing things are because of a new experience you had. All of those vacations you took and all of the people you have met have taught you more than you ever learned in school. These experiences now make up who you are today.‎ You’ll be more flexible and adaptable.‎ Without doubt, change makes your more flexible and adaptable. You learn to deal with things in a way that seems foreign but acceptable and achievable. 39 You begin to thrive(兴旺) in new situations because you have proven to yourself that you can, not only handle change, but FLOURISH.‎ You have more fun.‎ When you are open to change, you are open to saying YES to more. You are open to more experiences and opportunities. 40 When you add all of these things together, you are going to have a more colorful life and you’ll have a ton of fun figuring it all out along the way — there’s no doubt about it.‎ A. You are pushed out of your comfort zone.‎ B. Experience is waiting for you at the doorstep.‎ C. You have the opportunity to meet more people too.‎ D. Whether the change is good or bad for you, it does happen.‎ E. We also know how challenging it can be to go through change.‎ F.
