My sister, Diana, who also happens to be my best friend and one of the funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one eye about 9 years ago. Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye look now. The pupil (瞳孔) is no longer black; it’s sort of “glows” in photos. Diana recently purchased a ‎ special contact lens (隐形镜片) that makes her eye look like it did before it changed color, but she doesn’t wear this lens often because it becomes quite painful after about an hour.‎ One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner. Diana casually said if she had known there was going to be pictures taken to capture this special memory, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn’t be so shiny in the picture.‎ The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted. While we were talking, the photographer who had been at the dinner the night before, handed her a photo, leaned in and quietly said, “I matched the color of your eyes in the picture.”‎ As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted, “Look! He fixed my eye!” The photographer stopped. He turned around and walked back to our table. He put his hand on Diana’s shoulder, leaned in again and gently said, “Just to be clear: I didn’t fix your eye. There isn’t anything wrong with your eye. I simply matched the color.” Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very healing for her heart to hear these beautiful words. It didn’t take much time but made so much difference. It helped her change the way she feels about herself.‎ I have always loved the quote: “The world is full of good people. If you can’1 find one, be one!” Your acts of kindness can impact the world in profound ways!‎ ‎24. My sister bought a contact lens in order to ________.‎ A. keep the pupil comfortable B. show off the beautiful color of her pupil C. protect her eye from the strong sunlight D. avoid the pupil being too bright and shiny ‎25. Diana felt ________ when she knew there was a photo taken for the dinner.‎ A. excited B. proud C. regretful D. shocked ‎26. Tears welled up in Diana s eyes because A. she was touched by the photographer B. she felt her eyes were so painful C. she was hurt by the gesture of the photographer D. she felt so sad that she didn’t wear her lens ‎27. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. A Shiny Pupil B. A Considerate Photographer C. The Act of Kindness Counts D. The Contact Lens Makes a Difference C ‎ Asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. In American culture, the ‎ independent individual is seen as their ideal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, “Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.‎ And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept. While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admit you can’t do this on your own, they’ll see you for the imposter(骗子) you really are.”‎ But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can’t do everything by ourselves and we shouldn’t try.‎ Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who didn’t want to help me when I asked them for help”. He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter(计频器). And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.‎ ‎“If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far,” Jobs said.‎ ‎28．What is the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A．What key American values are. B．Why Americans refuse to ask for help.‎ C．Asking for help is a sign of strength. D．Americans are responsible for their life.‎ ‎29．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “inept” in Paragraph 2?‎ A．impolite B．depressed C．incompetent D．sensitive ‎30．What can be learned from this US cultural phenomenon?‎ A．Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust.‎ B．Americans see weakness as a sign of strength.‎ C．Americans should learn to build up confidence.‎ D．Americans lay emphasis on individual values.‎ ‎31．What can we learn from Jobs’ words in the last paragraph?‎ A．Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance. B．Be brave to try whatever you want.‎ C．Failure is the mother of success. D．Learn to cooperate with others.‎ ‎ D Citigroup is testing new technology that will allow customers to withdraw money using retinal scanning (扫描视网膜).‎ The bank wants to replace PIN codes with biometric scanners (生物识别扫描仪) that could identify customers using only their eyes. Customers would use a smart phone app to key in the amount they want to draw out ahead of time. As they approached the ATM, the app would link up to the machine and use retinal scanning to confirm the customer’s identity. The ATM would then release the cash, as long as the scanner recognizes the individual.‎ Citigroup said the retinal scans would take 15 seconds to complete compared to 45 seconds for traditional transactions (交易). It would, they claim, be more secure and would mean that cards could never be skimmed at an ATM again.‎ The Wall St Journal reported that Citigroup has not set a date for when the retinal scanners would be introduced. The bank may have to overcome privacy concerns as some customers may be uncomfortable giving their biometric data to such an institution.‎ Citigroup says it has been working with cash machine manufacturer Diebold and has confirmed that scanning tests have been carried out on 30 consumers in a laboratory at its head office in New York. The test cash machines do not even need a screen or a touchpad as all the information is loaded by the app ahead of time.‎ Citigroup is not the only financial institution testing out cardless cash machines—JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America are working on similar technology. The moves comes in response to US credit scoring firm FICO announcing that in May this year the number of attacks on debit cards used at ATMs had reached its highest level in 20 years.‎ ‎32. What is the right process of withdrawing money using retinal scanning?‎ a. The ATM would release the cash.‎ b. Use a smart phone app to key in the amount.‎ c. Use retinal scanning to confirm the customer’s identity.‎ d. The app would link up to the ATM.‎ A. cbda B. cdba C. bdca D. bcda ‎33. As for the new technology, what will Citigroup probably have to worry about?‎ A. The results of the scanning tests.‎ B. Some customers’ privacy worries.‎ C. US credit scoring firm FICO’s criticism.‎ D. Other banks’ competition.‎ ‎34. Why is Citigroup developing this new technology?‎ A. To attract more customers B. To compete against other banks.‎ C. To respond to the Wall St Journal’s report.‎ D. To fight against attacks on debit cards.‎ ‎35. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. One day, we can withdraw money from the ATM without a card.‎ B. The retinal scanners have already been put into use.‎ C. Citigroup will work with JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America.‎ D. The ATM will be replaced sooner or later.‎ 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。‎ Things Ambitious People Never Say ‎◆“I can’t do this—it’s too hard.”‎ Ambitious people never limit themselves or undervalue hard work with these words.36________.‎ ‎◆“I’m not good enough.”‎ Ambitious people never say they are not good enough.
