Rembrandt PortraitsBWell, Im really honored and appreciate that your press has published a 10th anniversary edition of Tinkers(小炉匠)， You know，Tinkers is actually based on the facts from my family history. The watch-night(守夜)at the deathbed of George Crosby, one of the novels main characters, is also founded in the facts of my own grandfathers passing.Each step in writing the fiction was straightforward and concrete, but increasingly, the pursuit of each next logical thing led to something unanticipated and entirely unexpected But of course, a big, early task was to figure out how to grow the story from a few factual seeds into a self-supporting work of fiction, that is, how to translate the story from what really happened to you into a literary one with your creativity.Let me show you. One day, when I got to the end of a paragraph, I was confused by how to continue. I suddenly heard someone running through his living room. Then I simply asked myself, What would have happened? I wrote about the patter(吧嗒声)f)lengthening and widening. I asked, What would happen next? And next? And then? I simply broke the elements of the scene and images in the most literal, concrete terms.At its best, writing feels selfless, as if the world is expressing itself and I am merely its secretary, taking dictation. The excitement of such experiences is that they produce elegance and beauty, which is a method of revelation.24. Where is the material of Tinkers mainly from?A. The writers grandparents life.B. George Crosbys personal life,C. The writers real-life experiencesD. The main characters daily routines25. According to the author, what was primary for writing the book?A. How to make a self-convincing explanation.B. How to sow a few seeds of the story briefly.C How to translate the work into other language.D How to turn factual truth into a literary one creatively.26 Whats the writers point of view about writing?A. Writing a book is very difficult and selfless.B. A secretary can write a book easily.C. A writer should express the real world.D. Writing can reveal the beauty of the world.27. Where can we probably see this passage?A. An interviewB. A concert reviewC. A surveyD. A novelCThe term smiling depression-appearing happy to others while actually suffering depressive symptoms (症状)-has become increasingly popular. In fact, many people who experience a low mood and a loss of pleasure in activities manage to hide their condition in this way, And these people might be particularly easy to suicide.While smiling depression is not a technical term that psychologists use, it is certain to be depressed and manage to successfully mask the symptoms. The closest technical term for this condition isatypical depression. It can be very hard to spot people suffering depression because they may seem like they dont have a reason to be sad -they have a job, an apartment and maybe even children or a partner, They smile when you greet them and can carry pleasant conversations. In short, they often put on a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly normal and active lives. Inside, however, they often feel hopeless and down, sometimes even having thoughts about ending it all.People with smiling depression put on a happy face to the outside world, but they can experience a lift in their mood as a result of positive occurrences in their lives. Other symptoms of this condition include overeating, feeling a sense of heaviness in the arms and legs and being easily hurt by criticism or rejection. They are also more likely to feel depressed in the evening and feel the need to sleep longer than usual. With other forms of depression, however, your mood might be worse in the morning and you might feel the need for less sleep than you are normally used to.So how can they break this circle? A starting point needs to be known that this condition actually exists and that its serious. Only when we stop ignoring our problems because we think theyre not serious enough can we start making an actual difference. Then we can find purpose by taking the attention away from ourselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that our lives matter is finally what gives us purpose and meaning-and this can make a significant difference for our mental health and well-being.28. What do we know about people suffering smiling depression?A. They are wearing masks all day.B. They are difficult to get along withC. They lead an abnormal life actually.D. Most of them commit suicide29. What does the underlined word atypicalin paragraph 2 mean?A. representativeB. commonC. hiddenD. formal30. Compared with smiling depression, people suffering other depressions_.A. may feel sleeplessB. feel more depressed in the eveningC. are tired of heaviness in the armsD. may eat more food31. What can we do to overcome smiling depression?A. Never talk about smiling depression and ignore its existence.B. Admit the condition and pay attention to ourselves.C. Value the importance of our life and enjoy it.D. Find out the problem and place it onto somebody else.DResearchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store.Carbon capture isnt new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into liquid and then injected underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst(催化剂) )that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is the dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode(焊条), which opens up a world of possibilities. A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles, explains Dr Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher, “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”32. What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods?A. People have to injected liquid to the gas.B. The previous methods can be done easily.C The previous methods are not very popular.D. People have widely accepted previous methods.33.What is the special part of the new method?A. It needs electricity to make the process efficient.B. It can be done in any kind of container.C. It doesnt need extreme temperature.D. It can produce much solid carbon.34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The method will make fossil oil disappear.B. The method will influence the future industry.C The method will make developed countries more powerful.D. The method will be used to make new vehicles35. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to change carbon into CO2B. A new carbon capture technology.C. A new technology to get useful carbon.D. Australia makes the world cleaner than before.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。These tips on how to deal with controlling parents will help you see your situation differently.Identify controlling behaviors. Some parents are demanding of their children. 36. People who are controlling will use certain strategies to control others. Some signs your parents may be controlling include: Criticizing you constantly about some small things, such as your appearance, your manners, or your choices.37. It isnt likely that you can totally break away from a controlling situation in one move. You will need an action plan that is realistic to start making your own decisions. The plan could start with something as simple as telling yourself every day that you are in control to start building your confidence.Cut financial ties with your parents. If you have the ability to make your own money, separate your finances from your parents. It might be difficult, but you need to pay your own bills, buy your own things, and budget for yourself. 38.Restrict yourself from asking for favors from your parents. Asking a favor of your parents puts them in the position to bargain.39. While this isnt naturally bad, it can quickly lead to you giving up your decision making power to them. Ask friends or other family members if you need help.Repair the relationship. You need to tell your parents how you feel and why you became distant in the relationship. For example, if your parents are constantly criticizing your career choice, then try making a joke about it by saying something like, Note to self. Career does not please mother. Got it. Anything else?A. Make an objective action planB. Accept responsibility for your actionsC. But this does not always mean that they are controllingD. Using humorous language can be an effective way to deal with controlling peopleE. If you want them to fulfill your need, youll have to do something in returnF.
