Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist (肿瘤学家) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care.”
4. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most
A. Health care. B. Better housing.
C. Further education. D. Public transportation.
5. How has Monica helped the cancer patients
A. By offering clinical trials. B. By advocating financial aid.
C. By improving internet service. D. By training medical professionals.
6. Which of the following can best describe Monica
A. Determined and loyal. B. Honest and generous.
C. Grateful and courageous. D. Devoted and responsible.
7. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Technology: A push for progress B. Monica: A helper for cancer patients
C. CCCG: A pioneer for cancer treatment D. Clinical trials: A hope for cancer patients

You’ve ordered a new pair of shoes online. They arrive; you rush to the front door and carry the box as you open it. You untie the laces, guide them toward your feet and they don’t fit.
So, back in the box they go and an hour later you drop them at the local collections store. It’s disappointing. The shoes have never been worn and they’ll be making their way to a new home soon. Right Wrong.
What does happen to our goods when we order online and then return them The reality is that much of it simply ends up in landfill (垃圾场). Each year, 5 billion pounds of waste is generated through returns in the world. In the US alone, customers return approximately 3.5 billion products, of which only 20% are actually faulty according to Optoro, a company which specializes in tackling the returns.
It turns out that returns create a real headache for companies. Many companies simply don’t have the technology to handle these faults in returned goods, so it is often most profitable for them to sell them cheaply to discounters via a web of shipping, driving and flying them around the globe, or to simply truck them to the dump.
Optoro’s software helps retailers (零售商) and manufacturers resell unsold goods more easily. They offer a number of options for retailers including a website to resell their goods, called Blinq, as well as helping with re-routing goods to donation, store shelves, Amazon or eBay. They estimate their work helps reduce landfill waste by 70%.
Ann Starodaj, Senior Director of Sustainability at Optoro, says that while consumer habits might still be harmful, creating a profitable and environmentally friendly fashion model from start to finish is the way forward. “I don’t think people are going to stop buying stuff, but creating a business model where you’re making it easier for them to make sustainable choices is very important.”
8. What are the statistics in Paragraph 3 about
A. Waste disposal. B. Goods delivery.
C. Clothing Fashion. D. Waste returns.
9. Why do returns become a real headache for companies
A. Very little profit can be made. B. Related technology is not available.
C. Goods are damaged on purpose. D. No places can be found to bury them.
10. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. A difficult task. B. A marketing plan.
C. A practical solution. D. A producing process.
11. What does Ann Starodaj want to convey
A. Returns are easy to deal with.
B. People should stop buying goods online.
C. Consumer habits bring about harmful results.
D. It is vital to create a sustainable business model.
D
One person’s happiness causes a chain reaction that benefits not only their friends, but their friends’ friends, and their friends’ friends’ friends. The effect lasts for up to one year. The opposite, interestingly, is not the case: Sadness does not spread through social networks as strongly as happiness. Happiness appears to love company more so than misery.
Focusing on 4,739 individuals, Christakis and Fowler, who co-authored this study, observed more than 50,000 social and family ties and analyzed the spread of happiness throughout this group. The researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, a friend living within a mile experiences a 25 percent increased chance of becoming happy. A co-resident spouse (配偶) experiences an 8 percent increased chance, siblings (兄弟姐妹) living within one mile have a 14 percent increased chance, and for next-door neighbors, 34 percent. But the real surprise came with indirect relationships. Again, while an individual becoming happy increases his friend’s chances, a friend of that friend experiences a nearly 10 percent chance of increased happiness, and a friend of that friend has a 5.6 percent increased chance.
The researchers also found that, contrary to what your parents taught you, popularity does lead to happiness. People in the center of their network groups are the most likely people to become happy, and then there are chances that increase to the extent that the people surrounding them also have lots of friends. However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure.
“Imagine a bird’s eye view of a backyard party,” Fowler explains. “You’ll see people in groups at the center, and others on the fringe. The happiest people tend to be the ones in the center. But someone on the fringe who suddenly becomes happy, say through a particular exchange, doesn’t suddenly move into the center of the group. He simply stays where he is—only now he has a far more satisfying sense of well-being.”
Next time, if you’re happy and you know it, thank your friends—and their friends. And while you’re at it, their friends’ friends. But if you’re sad, hold the blame.
12. Who will be more likely to become happy as a man is happy according to the research
A. His wife. B. His next-door neighbors.
C. His brothers and sisters. D. A friend of his friend.
13. Why does Fowler mention a backyard party in Paragraph 4
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To describe a fact. D. To make a prediction.
14. What does the research aim to tell us
A. Happiness changes social structures.
B. A social network is a double-edged sword.
C. Happiness goes hand in hand with sadness.
D. Happiness spreads through social networks.
15. What do we know from the last two paragraphs
A. Friends’ friends may bring you happiness.
B Your friends are to blame for your sadness.
C. Your friends decide whether you are happy.
D. The happiest friends at party are on the fringe.

The gym teacher blew the whistle (哨子) and four students dived into the swimming pool racing to the other side. Then the next four were up, but only three stood on the diving board. “Where is Ren ” the gym teacher asked in concern.
Ren’s face turned red, and he was unsteady. He looked at the pool and stepped back. “You cannot make me do this!” he said.
Sadie patted him on the back gently. “You can do it! I will help you if you need it.” Ren stared into Sadie’s eyes and he calmed down.
“You can do it. You need to pass this class.” The gym teacher said. Ren stepped on the diving board,vputting his goggles (护目镜)vover his eyes, and the blue cap hid his red hair. The whistle blew and Ren stood there as the other three swam away. Then one boy ran and pushed Ren into the water.
Sadie glared at the boy. “Why would you do that ” A minute passed by and Ren still wasn’t coming up. Sadie jumped in and pulled him out of the water. She gave him CPR (心肺复苏),and it took a while until water came out of his lungs. Then finally he spat out the water and sat up, feeling dizzy.
Ren looked over at Sadie,who breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank goodness! Why didn’t you use your arms or legs ”Ren stared away from Sadie, looking at the bottom of the blue pool, then looking up at the gym teacher who rolled his eyes.“I can’t swim. My parents never taught me as a kid. We are afraid of water.”
Sadie put her hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry. I will teach you how to swim. The water is my favourite place to be.”Ren thought for a while, and nodded gently.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。每年都有大量网购退货造成的垃圾,由此带来的问题非常棘手,对此人们提出了许多建议和可行方案。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“Each year, 5 billion pounds of waste is generated through returns in the world. In the US alone, customers return approximately 3.5 billion products, of which only 20% are actually faulty according to Optoro, a company which specializes in tackling the returns.(每年,全世界有50亿磅的垃圾是退货产生的。据专门处理退货问题的Optoro公司称,仅在美国,客户就退货了大约35亿件产品,其中只有20%是有问题的。)”可知,第3段的统计数字是来说明退货产生大量垃圾的。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句中的“Many companies simply don’t have the technology to handle these faults in returned goods,, so it is often most profitable for them to sell them cheaply to discounters via a web of shipping, driving and flying them around the globe, or to simply truck them to the dump.(许多公司根本没有技术来处理退货中的这些错误的技术,因此,对他们来说,最有利可图的方式往往是通过全球运输、驾驶和空运网络,将它们廉价卖给折扣店,或者干脆用卡车把它们运到垃圾场。)”可知,由于相关技术的缺乏,退货成为公司真正头疼的问题。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段第一句“Optoro’s software helps retailers (零售商) and manufacturers resell unsold goods more easily.They offer a number of options for retailers, including a website to resell their goods, called Blinq, as well as helping with re-routing goods to donation, store shelves, Amazon or eBay. They estimate their work helps reduce landfill waste by 70%.(Optoro的软件可以帮助零售商和制造商更容易地转售未售出的商品。他们为零售商提供了多种选择,包括一个名为Blinq的转售商品的网站,以及帮助将商品重新安排到捐赠、商店货架、亚马逊或eBay上。他们估计他们的工作有助于减少70%的垃圾填埋。)”可知,第五段主要是讲一个实用的解决退货的办法——Optoro软件。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“Ann Starodaj, Senior Director of Sustainability at Optoro, says that while consumer habits might still be harmful, creating a profitable and environmentally friendly fashion model from start to finish is the way forward(Optoro的可持续发展高级总监Ann Starodaj说虽然消费者的习惯可能仍然有害,但从头到尾创造一种有利可图且环保的时尚模式是前进的方向)”和第二句中的“creating a business model where you’re making it easier for them to make sustainable choices is very important(创造一种商业模式,让他们更容易做出可持续的选择是非常重要的)”可知,Ann Starodaj想要传达的是创建一个可持续的有利可图且环保的商业模式是至关重要的。故选D。
D
One person’s happiness causes a chain reaction that benefits not only their friends, but their friends’ friends, and their friends’ friends’ friends. The effect lasts for up to one year. The opposite, interestingly, is not the case: Sadness does not spread through social networks as strongly as happiness. Happiness appears to love company more so than misery.
Focusing on 4,739 individuals, Christakis and Fowler, who co-authored this study, observed more than 50,000 social and family ties and analyzed the spread of happiness throughout this group. The researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, a friend living within a mile experiences a 25 percent increased chance of becoming happy. A co-resident spouse (配偶) experiences an 8 percent increased chance, siblings (兄弟姐妹) living within one mile have a 14 percent increased chance, and for next-door neighbors, 34 percent. But the real surprise came with indirect relationships. Again, while an individual becoming happy increases his friend’s chances, a friend of that friend experiences a nearly 10 percent chance of increased happiness, and a friend of that friend has a 5.6 percent increased chance.
The researchers also found that, contrary to what your parents taught you, popularity does lead to happiness. People in the center of their network groups are the most likely people to become happy, and then there are chances that increase to the extent that the people surrounding them also have lots of friends. However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure.
“Imagine a bird’s eye view of a backyard party,” Fowler explains. “You’ll see people in groups at the center, and others on the fringe. The happiest people tend to be the ones in the center. But someone on the fringe who suddenly becomes happy, say through a particular exchange, doesn’t suddenly move into the center of the group. He simply stays where he is—only now he has a far more satisfying sense of well-being.”
Next time, if you’re happy and you know it, thank your friends—and their friends. And while you’re at it, their friends’ friends. But if you’re sad, hold the blame.
12. Who will be more likely to become happy as a man is happy according to the research
A. His wife. B. His next-door neighbors.
C. His brothers and sisters. D. A friend of his friend.
13. Why does Fowler mention a backyard party in Paragraph 4
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To describe a fact. D. To make a prediction.
14. What does the research aim to tell us
A. Happiness changes social structures.
B. A social network is a double-edged sword.
C. Happiness goes hand in hand with sadness.
D. Happiness spreads through social networks.
15. What do we know from the last two paragraphs
A. Friends’ friends may bring you happiness.
B. Your friends are to blame for your sadness.
C. Your friends decide whether you are happy.
D. The happiest friends at party are on the fringe.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一个观点:一个人的幸福通过社交网络传播,因此一个人的幸福和朋友,以及朋友的朋友有关。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段二三句“The researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, a friend living within a mile experiences a 25 percent increased chance of becoming happy. A co-resident spouse (配偶) experiences an 8 percent increased chance, siblings (兄弟姐妹) living within one mile have a 14 percent increased chance, and for next-door neighbors, 34 percent. (研究人员发现,当一个人变得快乐时,住在一英里以内的朋友变得快乐的几率会增加25%。同居配偶的几率增加了8%,住在一英里以内的兄弟姐妹的几率增加14%,而隔壁邻居的几率增加34%。)”可知,一个人开心的时候,最有可能因此变得开心的是他的邻居。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句““Imagine a bird’s eye view of a backyard party,” Fowler explains. “You’ll see people in groups at the center, and others on the fringe. The happiest people tend to be the ones in the center…” (福勒解释道:“想象一下后院聚会的鸟瞰图,你会看到一群人在中心,其他人在边缘。最快乐的人往往是中心的人…”)”可知,福勒提出这个聚会的目的是为了解释某个和一个网络中最开心的人的位置相关的概念,上文第三段最后两句“However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure. (然而,变得快乐并不能帮助一个人从网络边缘迁移到中心。幸福通过网络传播而不改变其结构。)”提出了需要解释的观点:因为幸福通过网络传播,不改变网络的结构,因此一个人变得快乐并不会使他从网络的边缘迁移到中心。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段后两句“However, becoming happy does not help migrate a person from the network fringe (外围) to the center. Happiness spreads through the network without changing its structure. (然而,变得快乐并不能帮助一个人从网络边缘迁移到中心。幸福通过网络传播而不改变其结构。)”可知,本研究旨在告诉读者幸福通过网络传播,即社交网络。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Next time, if you’re happy and you know it, thank your friends—and their friends. (下一次,如果你很开心,并且你知道这一点,那就感谢你的朋友和他们的朋友。)”可知,作者建议读者如果开心,那就得感谢朋友和朋友的朋友,可推测这是因为一个人的快乐可能是朋友或者朋友的朋友带来的。故选A项。

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。
How to Educate Yourself
Despite fears of automation (自动化) destroying jobs, history shows that new technology often ends up creating new jobs and opportunities. If you want to take advantage of these new jobs, you’ll need to be able to teach yourself new things.____16____ But the following process should get you off to a very good start.
Identify What You Want to Learn
The obvious first step is to pick a skill or subject. You probably have a vague idea in mind already, but you are encouraged to make it more specific. Let’s take learning piano as an example. ____17____ To play a few of your favorite songs To play in a band with your friends To become the next Carnegie Hall soloist You can better track your learning progress by doing so.
Determine How You Learn Best
____18____ Before you dive into specific books or courses, you should do some self-reflection and determine your learning style. However, it’s not as simple as you thought. In reality, you probably learn well in multiple ways, and the best approach will also depend on the topic.
Start With the Right Learning Resources
If you’re totally new to a subject, you are recommended to read some existing learning resources to get started. Focus on resources that make few assumptions and are designed for absolute beginners. This way, you don’t miss fundamentals or develop bad habits. ____19____
Practice Attentively
When you practice attentively, you set a specific intention for your practice period and focus on only that. You’re also honest about your current performance, constantly asking how you can improve. ____20____ You could play the guitar absently for 10,000 hours but still be no closer to playing like Pat Metheney, a great guitarist. It requires attentive, focused practice.
A. Do you like playing the piano
B. What exactly do you want to learn

【17题详解】
根据上文“Identify What You Want to Learn(确定你想学什么)”可知本段的主题是确定自己具体想学习的内容。根据后文三个问题“To play a few of your favorite songs To play in a band with your friends To become the next Carnegie Hall soloist (弹奏几首你最喜欢的歌 和你的朋友在乐队里演奏 成为卡内基音乐厅的下一位独奏家 )”可知,你要明确你具体要学习的是什么。B项“What exactly do you want to learn ( 你到底想学什么 )”符合语境,引出后文问题。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Before you dive into specific books or courses, you should do some self-reflection and determine your learning style.(在你深入学习特定的书籍或课程之前,你应该做一些自我反省,确定你的学习风格。)”可知,在学习之前,要知道自己的学习风格。可知,空处表示“学习特定的书籍或课程,即学习资源”。F项“You can start finding resources once a learning goal is set.(一旦设定了学习目标,你就可以开始寻找资源了。)”强调寻找学习资源,F项中“resources”与后文specific books or courses一致,符合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Start With the Right Learning Resources(从正确学习资源开始)”可知,本段主题强调正确的学习资源。前文“Focus on resources that make few assumptions and are designed for absolute beginners. This way, you don’t miss fundamentals or develop bad habits.(关注那些假设较少、专为绝对初学者设计的资源。这样,你就不会错过基本原则或养成坏习惯。)”说明了应该如何选择学习资源。G项“And choose whatever learning resources work best for your style.(选择最适合你的学习资源。)”承接上文,符合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据后文“ You could play the guitar absently for 10,000 hours but still be no closer to playing like Pat Metheney, a great guitarist.(你可以心不在焉地弹吉他一万个小时,但仍然无法像伟大的吉他手帕特·梅塞尼那样演奏。)”可知,练习时只关注时长是不够的。D鲜花“Putting in the hours is necessary but not enough.(投入时间是必要的,但还不够。)”,符合语境,也呼应了标题“Practice Attentively(用心实践)”,即用心练习的重要性。故选D项。

The gym teacher blew the whistle (哨子) and four students dived into the swimming pool, racing to the other side. Then the next four were up, but only three stood on the diving board. “Where is Ren ” the gym teacher asked in concern.
Ren’s face turned red, and he was unsteady. He looked at the pool and stepped back. “You cannot make me do this!” he said.
Sadie patted him on the back gently. “You can do it! I will help you if you need it.” Ren stared into Sadie’s eyes and he calmed down.
“You can do it. You need to pass this class.” The gym teacher said. Ren stepped on the diving board,vputting his goggles (护目镜)vover his eyes, and the blue cap hid his red hair. The whistle blew and Ren stood there as the other three swam away. Then one boy ran and pushed Ren into the water.
Sadie glared at the boy. “Why would you do that ” A minute passed by and Ren still wasn’t coming up. Sadie jumped in and pulled him out of the water. She gave him CPR (心肺复苏),and it took a while until water came out of his lungs. Then finally he spat out the water and sat up, feeling dizzy.
Ren looked over at Sadie,who breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank goodness! Why didn’t you use your arms or legs ”Ren stared away from Sadie, looking at the bottom of the blue pool, then looking up at the gym teacher who rolled his eyes.“I can’t swim. My parents never taught me as a kid. We are afraid of water.”
Sadie put her hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry. I will teach you how to swim. The water is my favourite place to be.”Ren thought for a while, and nodded gently.

【答案】参考范文:
Ren and Sadie finished gym class and walked home together. Sadie said to Ren gently and sincerely, “as your friend, I hope you can tell me why you are afraid of water.” Hesitating for a second, he shared an experience that he was once narrowly drowned in the river. “Let’s face and overcome it together.” Sadie said firmly. From then on, Sadie tried all means to help Ren. Gradually Ren overcame his fear and he swam freely in the pool. Sadie even encouraged him to take part in the coming swimming race. When that day came, Ren stepped on the diving board and he kept calm and attentive.
The gym teacher blew the whistle and this time Ren dived bravely. He swam to the other side with incredible speed and technique. The gym teacher walked to the other side of the gym and knelt down. “Incredible, Ren!” The gym teacher helped him out of the water, shaking his hand excitedly and cheerfully. “Congratulations, you pass!” Ren held his fist tight and waved to Sadie gratefully with tears in eyes. Sometimes, it is the encouragement and support from your loved ones that help you step out of your comfort zone and overcome yourself, to develop the potential to the fullest.
