My first day there was a rushdriving to a new clinic and getting used to the clinical environment.As it was all new to me, I took off my rings: my wedding ring, and one that was an anniversary (周年纪念日) gift from my husband. I put them in a tissue (纸巾) and placed them beside my computer. During my lunch break, I noticed the tissue and thought that it did not look very clean and threw it into the rubbish bin. I went about my work and my day went well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive.Driving home at the end of the day, just moments before I reached my house, I noticed that my rings were missing. I felt the heat in my body rise, my cheeks burning red. I felt sick to my stomach.I spent an hour or so making calls, trying to find my rings. The first people I called were my manager and clinical leader and they gave me a few phone numbers for cleaners. I got in touch with a lady who managed the cleaning services for the clinic, and she told me that the bins had already been collected.I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost my rings. But after two or so hours, I received the most amazing phone call. The cleaner had gone through the bins and found my rings! I was so thankful to her, someone who had taken the trouble to go through the bins which is not a pleasant task to find my priceless rings.I worked at that clinic the following day, so I bought chocolates to thank this wonderful person. Unfortunately, I did not get to meet her as she was not at work that day.19. What can we say about the authors first day at the clinic?A. Disorganized but special.B. Relaxingand good.C.

What can we learn from the authors experience?A. Smiles brighten people up.B. Strangers are usually of little help.C. An act of kindness can mean a lot.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.COne day in 2016, in Phoenix, Arizona, a woman was getting in her car, which was parked in her driveway. Suddenly, her husband ran out of the house. He was waving his arms and shouting. Without another word, the woman ran back in her house and closed the front door. A few minutes later, the sky began to darken. And then, sand began to swirl (打旋) around the house. Soon, sand and dust were everywhere, blowing all around the house. This is a violent dust storm in Phoenix. A dust storm is a kind of storm where wind picks up clouds of sand and dust from the desert and blows them into the air. Phoenix is deep in the Sonoran Desert, one of the largest deserts in North America. It gets several dust storms every year. When a dust storm hits, it makes it difficult to see. If you are outside during a dust storm, you may not be able to see more than a few inches in front of you. When a dust storm is coming to Phoenix, the local weather stations start giving warnings for people to get off the street. Airplanes are not allowed to take off from or land in Phoenix because the pilots cannot see well. Paul Fisher and his family have lived in Arizona for more than twenty years. He can remember seeing many serious dust storms during that time. One time, he was out walking his dog, Jimbo, shortly after he had moved to Phoenix. As he was walking, he looked out at the desert and saw what looked like a big, dark wall. He looked at it for a few minutes. Suddenly, he realized what he was looking at. He took Jimbo and ran back to the house. He was just able to get inside before the storm hit. “Once youre in a violent dust storm, you never forget it,” he said. 23. Why did the husband shout at his wife? A. He wanted to use her car. B. He badly needed her help. C. A dust storm was arriving. D. A traffic accident happened. 24.

The cause of the dust storm.D. How a dust storm comes into being.26. What happened to Fisher?A. He decided to move away from Phoenix.B. His house was destroyed in a dust storm. C. He escaped from a terrible dust storm. D. His dog got lost in a dust storm.DIt doesnt matter how you choose to live your lifewhatever you do, someone will judge you. With that in mind, lets talk about being judged and criticized (批评).When I started writing, it wasnt the hurtful criticism from readers that prevented me from getting started. It was my worries about what they would think if I wrote about the things I cared about. I wrote my ideas in a private document for a year before I worked up the courage to start sharing them publicly.Usually, haters simply criticize and move on. And that means that you can safely ignore them and continue doing your thing.But that is easier said than done because we all like to bevalidated. Some people like it more than others, but everyone wants to be respected and appreciated to some degree. I certainly do. I know that whenever I choose to take a risk and share my work with the world, I wonder about how the people around me will see me because of that choice. Will this help my fame? Will this hurt my fame? Should I even be worrying about my fame? Finally, I decided that it was more important to contribute something to the world than it was to protect myself from criticism.The truth about criticism is that its almost always in your head. It is natural for most people to hold onto negative (消极的) criticism. According to a research paper titled“Bad Is Stronger Than Good”by Roy Baumeister and researchers at Florida State University, we are more likely to remember negative criticism than praise. Baumeister found that even happy people are more likely to remember more negative events than positive ones. In fact, Baumeister and his team say that when it comes to your brain, it takes about five positive events to make up for one negative one.27. What prevented the author from getting started on writing?A. Her own fears.B. Her lack of experience.C. Peoples judgment on her works.D. Peoples different opinions on writing.28. Which word can best replace the underlined word “validated” in Paragraph 4?A. judged.B. helped.C. studied.D. praised.29. What kind of feeling do the questions in Paragraph 4 show?A. Shock.B. Worry.C. Regret.D. Sadness.30. What can be learned from Roy Baumeisters research?A. We should try to avoid negative events.B. Criticism can bring about positive influence.C. We remember negative criticism more strongly.D. Criticism helps people know more about themselves.第二节：七选五，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（共五小题，每小题2分，满分10分）In May, my friend Jess and I started looking for summer jobs.
