One morning, when the employees of a company arrived at work, they received a message: "The person stopping you from succeeding in the company has passed away. Please gather for the funeral service in the meeting room."
While there was some sadness among the employees at the unexpected news of the death of their co-worker, they were curious to know who was stopping them from succeeding. Moreover, most of them were then interested in the possibility of moving up and succeeding in the company.
Many employees were shocked to find all their co-workers still present and very much alive when they entered the meeting room. "If it wasn't him or her, then who? Who was holding us back from succeeding? Who has passed away?" they all thought.
The employees went to the coffin (棺材) one by one, and each was at a loss when they saw what was inside. They could not make sense of what they were seeing.
There was only a mirror in the coffin. So, when each employee looked in to see who was "holding them back from success", they saw themselves. Besides, there was a sign next to the mirror that read: You are the only person who can limit your growth. You are the only person who is capable of creating your success. It is not the situations and people that change your life, but the way you face different situations and people in life that makes a difference. Your life will change when you overstep your limiting beliefs and realize you are in control of your life. You now know who has been preventing you from reaching your full potential (潜力). Will you continue to let that person hold you back?

C．The person passing away D．The person holding you back
There are a few things you should keep in mind when you talk to your professors (大学老师), especially if you ask for a particular favor.
Call them by the right title. A "Doctor" is someone with a Ph.D.; not all professors have a Ph.D. "Professor" is usually acceptable, unless you have been told otherwise. I prefer to be called by my first name, and I make that point clear on the first day of my class. If you are totally unsure, a "Mr. " or "Ms. " is usually fine. Do not use "Mrs. " unless the professor herself uses it; it is time to recognize that not all adult women are or want to be married.
Be prepared to do the work. If you have missed an assignment or a test or are failing behind in your reading, and you are seeking help to catch up or a special dispensation(豁免) to make up the assignment, you had better be prepared to do the work—and generally under more difficult conditions. I get the impression that a lot of students imagine I might just say "Don't worry about it. I'll give you the points anyway. " This, of course, is not going to happen.
Prepare for disappointment. So often a professor will not or cannot help you. Your professor probably spends hours writing his or her syllabus (教学大纲), and probably spends another hour explaining it to you at the beginning of the class, so he or she has invested a lot in the rules. They especially hate it when you do not do an assignment and then ask for a way to make it up. Your only choice might be to shift into damage control, see what you can do, and ask honestly if you should continue in the class.
As a general rule, professors respect true interest. They will go out of their way to help if they feel that you are honestly interested in doing well.
11、Which title is usually acceptable for a student to call a teacher at a university? ______
A．Doctor. B．Professor.
C．Mr. or Mrs. D．First name.
12、As a university student who has missed a test, you had better ______.
A．ask for a particular favor B．ask for an easy make-up
C．get prepared to work harder D．seek help from your professor
13、Professors hate it when students do not do an assignment and then ask for a way to make it up, for they have already ______.
A．explained the syllabus B．invested much in the rules
C．finished writing their syllabus D．prepared to disappoint their students
14、What will professors do when they feel that you are really interested in doing well? ______
A．Offer you help as much as possible.
B．Require you to catch up with others.
C．Ask you to get prepared for the work.
D．Give you the points you want to have.
15、What can you infer from the passage? ______
A．We can often use "Mrs. " for women professors.
B．The author is likely to give the points as the students wish.
C．You should drop out of the class when you fail to do an assignment.
D．Students should follow some advice when dealing with their professors.
Imagine there is a small fire in your kitchen. Your fire alarm goes off, warning everyone nearby about the danger. Someone calls 911. You try to put the fire out yourself—maybe you even have a fire extinguisher(灭火器) in the kitchen. If that does not work, you know how to safely leave. By the time you get outside, a fire truck is already pulling up. Firefighters use the hydrant(消防栓) in front of your house to extinguish the fire before any of your neighbors' homes are ever at risk of catching fire.
We need to prepare to fight disease outbreaks just as we prepare to fight fires. If a fire is left to burn out of control, it will become a threat not only to one home but to an entire community. The same is true for infectious(传染的) diseases, except on a much bigger scale. As we know all too well from COVID-19, an outbreak in one town can quickly spread across an entire country and then around the world.
When the World Health Organization first described COVID-19 as a pandemic just over three years ago, it marked a collective failure to prepare for pandemics, despite many warnings. And I worry that we are making the same mistakes again. The world has not done as much to get ready for the next pandemic as I hoped. But it is not too late to stop history from repeating itself. The world needs a well-funded system that is ready to act immediately when danger appears. We need a fire department for pandemics.
I am optimistic about a network called the Global Health Emergency Corps (全球卫生应急联盟) that the WHO and its partners are building. This network of the world' s top health emergency leaders will work together to get ready for the next pandemic. Just as firefighters run drills to practice responding to a fire, the Emergency Corps plans to run drills to practice for outbreaks. The exercises will make sure that everyone—governments, health care providers and emergency health workers—knows what to do when a potential outbreak appears.
16、What is the relationship between pandemics and fires according to the author? ______
A．Pandemics are not as dangerous as fires.
B．Fires are easier to control than pandemics.
C．Both can quickly spread across an entire country.
D．Both pose a threat to a community if left uncontrolled.
17、As for pandemics, the author is worried that ______.
A．they are not more dangerous than fires
B．firefighters are not trained to respond to them
C．the world is not doing enough to prepare for them
D．the Global Health Emergency Corps will not be successful
18、What is the Global Health Emergency Corps? ______
A．An organization that provides funding for medical research.
B．A program to train firefighters to respond to health emergencies.
C．A new technology launched by WHO to extinguish fires more efficiently.
D．A network of top health emergency leaders preparing for the next pandemic.
19、What is the purpose of running drills for outbreaks? ______
A．To ensure everyone knows what to do.
B．To ask people to take health measures.
C．To find an effective cure for pandemics.
D．To test fire extinguishers in case of a fire.
20、What is the main idea of the passage? ______
A．We should always have a fire extinguisher in our kitchen.
B．COVID-19 was not described as a pandemic over three years ago.
C．The world needs to prepare for pandemics as we prepare for fires.
D．Firefighters should work together with health care providers during pandemics.

Section B Short Answer Questions
Directions: In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on The Answer Sheet.
A simple message has helped carry Emily Sue Snyder, 32, out of her darkest hours, including hopelessness, domestic violence and a suicide attempt. Now, she is sharing the encouraging expression with anyone who can receive it: "You are enough. "
Snyder, a hairstylist(发型师) and mother of two young sons living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, makes it her daily mission to remind others of their value.
"You're always enough; it doesn't matter if you're at your lowest point," Snyder told USA TODAY. "You're still enough to be worthy. "
Nearly a decade after trying to take her own life, she began leaving small handwritten motivational(励志的) notes in gas stations, grocery stores—"almost anywhere I went," she said.
Conversations about mental health struggles during the pandemic inspired her to spread the positive messages, such as "hey, you're doing a great job!" or "you are loved".
People would share the cards online as they found them. This warmed Snyder's heart, she said.
Her efforts to spread kindness—and the size of her cards—grew in March of 2021, when Snyder put on a red coat during rush hour in the middle of Sapulpa, Oklahoma. She stood on a corner alone for two hours holding a large bright-green poster that read "you are enough".
The outpouring of love from passersby flooded her, she said.
"The thing that really got me was the teenagers and kids that rolled down their car windows to tell me they love me," Snyder recalled. "It made me realize everybody needs something positive and a little bit of hope in their lives. "
She calls her mission "Stay Another Day: Suicide Prevention and Awareness".
Last month, she was "shocked" that a group of 25 joined her recent sign-holding event.
"People are really eager to be part of the movement to let people know they're loved," she said.
56、What is the expression that has helped Snyder out of her darkest hours? ______
57、The most important thing for Snyder to do every day is to ______.
58、Where did Snyder leave her encouraging notes? ______
59、What did the outpouring of love from the passersby make Snyder realize? ______
60、Why did a group of 25 people join her recent sign-holding event? ______

Section B English-Chinese Translation
Directions: Translate into Chinese the underlined sentences in the following passage. Please write your translation on The Answer Sheet.
The quality of sleep you achieve can directly influence your health and everyday happiness; it is therefore highly important to do everything possible to ensure a good night's sleep. 66 For many people, such factors as sound, light and heat can all affect sleep; and for those living in a city, these factors may become more serious. In order to get the good night's sleep required in the central area of a busy and noisy city, here are some simple tips to follow.
Being surrounded by the liveliness of a city can mean an increase in noise, whether it is from traffic or the people in the room next door. In order to ensure you remain in a deep sleep throughout the night, 67 it is important to ensure your bedroom is as quiet as possible. Where soundproofing(隔音) may seem extreme, there are small changes which can help to reduce sound levels.
68 Bookshelves can be excellent for absorbing noise through the walls, but for smaller apartments, this may not be the ideal solution. Fans, televisions or radios are another great measure to reduce harm from sound in a room.
For reducing noise levels from the street, hanging heavier curtains will help to lessen the sound, while having a small impact on the overall beauty of the room. If such changes are not possible or space is restricted, then 69 buying a pair of ear plugs could be the simplest way to reduce noise for a good sleep at night.
The natural light-dark cycle directly influences sleep, letting the human body know 70 when it is time to wake up and when it should be sleeping. City central locations tend to have a huge increase in man-made light, which in turn can impact the quality of sleep and prevent falling into a deep sleep.
