My wife, Liz, and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. Many wonderful friends from the past surprised us with presents and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park.It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow remaining. The scenery was so impressive that we made numerous stops to record memories with my camera. At roughly the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the center of my camera lens.There were not many vehicles on the road. Occasionally, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, in rags, parked behind our car. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife. I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most cherished and prized of our trip.I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. God judges us just by our heart, so we should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say thank you to him.24.According to the passage, the trip was .A.a gift for their wedding anniversary B.a suggestion from their friendsC.in late autumn six year ago D.taken by train to the west25.Which of the following can conclude the passage?A.There is no best, only better. B.Dont judge a book by its cover.C.Put yourself in others shoes. D.A contented mind is an everlasting feast.26.The author was nervous when the motorcyclist offered to take a picture because .A.the motorcyclist would break the cameraB.he could have lost the camera and been robbedC.the motorcyclist might not be good at taking picturesD.his wife might not be satisfied with the view there27.Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?A.kind and straightforward B.cautious and admirableC.rich and skeptical D.creative and tolerantCAsking 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 bad 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 cant do this on your own, theyll see you for the imposter(骗子) you really are.”But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we cant do everything by ourselves and we shouldnt 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 didnt 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 youre afraid of failing, you wont 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.sensitive30. 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 think highly of individual values.31. What can we learn from Jobs words in the last paragraph?A. Dont hesitate to ask for help. B. Be brave to try whatever you want.C. Never ask for help. D. Learn to cooperate with others.DWhen Pope Francis recently told a reporter that he stopped watching television 25 years ago, it reminded me that several of my friends had gone TV-free as well. They had really quit TV? It seemed fairly unlikely.And so it was. It turned out that most Americans who cut the cord are not getting rid of their TV sets. What theyre doing, like my friends, is canceling their cable or satellite TV contracts. Not such a major move, but nice cost savings. You can still watch lots of TV programming these days on your computer or TV by subscribing to an online streaming service. Netflix is currently the most popular of those.There is, however, a small group of the population that has adopted a true zero-tolerance policy when it comes to television. Listen to what was said about TV by none other than Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor. In 2010 following his terminal cancer diagnosis, he called out TV as the enemy of productivity. If you really want to have time back in your life, he said, unplug you TV and put it in a closet and put a blanket over it.My friend Laura Schiff, a former journalist, appreciates that point all too well. Television always felt like a waste of time,she told me the other day. When her old TV failed, she decided not to replace it. No regrets. Without TV I get a much deeper understanding of the world and whats going on around us. The amazing irony（讽刺）：Schiffs late father, Arthur Schiff was the genius behind such memorable TV marketing catchphrases （广告语）as Act now and youll also receive .and But wait, theres more!For some Americans, there is no more. There is already too, too much一too much stupid programming, too much commercials for products no one needs. Most of all, “TV robs us of our precious time, as author Joshua Fields Millbum said in his book, Everything That Remains.32.We learn from paragraph 2 that most Americans who cut the cord .A.stop watching TV completely B.get rid of their TV setsC.canceling their TV contracts to save money D.still watch lots of programs through cable TV33.According to the passage, Netflix is probably .A.a popular online streaming service B.a satellite TV stationC.a new brand of TV sets D.a most popular TV program currently34.Why was Randy Pausch against television?A.It was a waste of money. B.He had little time to spare for it.C.It was a waste of productive time. D.He suffered from headaches because of it.35.We can infer from the last paragraph that some Americans .A.demand changes in television B.will never believe TV catchphrasesC.spend more time watching TV D.might not choose to watch TV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岀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 cant do thisits too hard.”Ambitious people never limit themselves or undervalue hard work with these words.36_.“Im not good enough.”Ambitious people never say they are not good enough.
