Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage.

Traveling to another country where you know no one can be very challenging and frustrating.

It’s even worse if you don’t know the language. When I had the opportunity to go to the United

States to learn English, I realized how ignorant I was and how difficult a new life could be.

精通专升本官网：

It was very challenging for me to get used to the language and the way people lived. On my

first day of school, while entering the classroom, Mr. Erickson asked me, “What’s your name?”

Very quietly and shy I replied, “Yes.” The classroom filled up with laugher. I was confused but

soon I understood. It was difficult for me to get used to the accent. Whenever I wanted to ask or

say something in English, the students should start laughing and making fun of me. I had trouble

in school because I barely received help from my teachers and classmates. I would cry myself to

sleep for almost one I wanted to do was go back to Mexico because I just couldn’t deal

with things anymore. I hated school so bad.

However, throughout the years I started to improve. My writing skills increased, my

pronunciation was clearer, and my grades got better. I felt so proud of myself and of what I had

accomplished. My ignorance decreased by a lot. Coming here made me a better person because

now I know much more. It’s difficult at the beginning of the journey but throughout time you see

how things will get better sooner or later. I didn’t give up; instead I kept on trying for my parents

and for myself. I wouldn’t change anything that happened to me because I believe that everything

happens for a reason. Thanks to everything, I’m standing where I am.

20. What makes traveling to another country more difficult according to the author?

A. Knowing no one there. B. Not knowing the language.

C. Being ignorant of the country. D. Not knowing much about the new life.

21. The students often made fun of the author mainly because_____.

A. he was a Mexican B. he spoke with a different accent

D. he hated school so bad C. he had trouble with teachers

22. The author found out he had become a better person because .

A. he felt proud of himself B. he stood where he was

C. his ignorance decreased by a lot D. things got better by and large

23. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Challenges Turning into Opportunities. C. Clear Pronunciation Improving Grades.

B. Obstacles Blocking the Way to Success. D. Giving Up Leading to Ignorance.

Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.

Are there any chronic (长期的) complainers where you work? It seems like every

workplace has them — the people for whom the weather is always too warm or too cold, the

food is bad, the work is dull, and so on. No matter how good things get, they still only see the bad.

They go to huge lengths to point it out to everyone around them.

I’m not saying we should forbid complaining, but workplaces need to do something about

the chronic complainers because they tend to make people around them unhappy at work. It’s a

fact that negative people are highly contagious (传染的) and one chronic complainer can easily

get an entire department down.

We try many different strategies to deal with complainers. But most of the strategies we

normally use on complainers don’t help and often make matters worse. So what does work?

Here’s a simple but very effective trick.

A friend of mine who’s a dentist told me about an elderly complainer who was a patient of

hers. Every time he came in for an appointment, he’d complain. My friend is a naturally happy

person and would try to cheer him up. But it didn’t work and just made him complain even more.

So I taught her this trick, and the next time he came in for an appointment she was ready. He

精通专升本官网：

sat on the chair, and immediately started complaining. After listening to his usual complaints for a

while, my dentist friend said, with deep sympathy in her voice, “You know, that sounds terrible. I

don’t know how you deal with all of these problems.”

You know what he said? “Well, well, it’s not THAT bad!”

This approach works because it gives the complainer what he’s really after: understanding

of what is, for him, a difficult situation.

24. Chronic complainers are those who _____.

A. usually express feelings of dissatisfaction

B. tend to see the good side of everything

C. like to talk with anyone about weather

B. Their complaints should be forbidden in the office.

C. Something should be done to make them negative.

D. Measures should be taken to stop their complaints.

26. What did the dentist use to do with the elderly complainer?

A. To complain together with him.

C. To persuade him to stop talking.

B. To try to make him happy.

D. To ask him questions about his life.

27. What does a complainer hope to get by making complaints to others?

A. Advice on how to become a happy person.

C. Suggestions to stay away from problems.

B. Medical help and treatment.

D. Others’understanding and sympathy.

Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.

A tree growing in a remote area of southeastern Guinea was once home to thousands of bats. A

year ago, a two-year-old boy who lived within meters of the tree died in December 2013 and later

was identified as the first person in West Africa to have developed Ebola. The question now

troubles researchers; were the tree’s occupants the cause of that boy’s virus in the first place?

Yet they will never know the answer. By March 2014, that tree was burnt down. Thousands of

dead bats rained down on the village, but all researchers were left with were fragments of bat

DNA.

The fire spoiled the researcher’s plans since no Ebola genetic information could be gathered

from the remains of burnt bats. And, Making matters worse, the same bat species had totally

disappeared in the area. The research team also gathered other bat species from the area, but found

those were all Ebola-free.

The work from researchers fails to pinpoint the bat species that may be behind Ebola, but it

does shed light on other facts around the disease. They have found it unlikely that primates (灵长

目动物) were behind this outbreak. In that small village there were no large animals to be hunted

and any meat consumed there was packaged and sent there from elsewhere. Those observations

suggest there was no outbreak among the local primates of a deadly disease like Ebola. Beyond

精通专升本官网：

primates and bats, however, there still could have been another creature causing the outbreak that

researchers may not have even thought of. So for now, the mystery remains.

28. A two-year-old-boy died in December 2013 because _____.

A. he got a bat’s virus B. he was attacked by bats

C. he was infected with Ebola D. he fell off the tree with bats

29. What happened to the bats living in the tree?

A. They were killed by Ebola virus. C. They died out after a rain in the village.

B. They were burnt to death with the tree. D. They were examined by the researchers.

30. What does the word pinpoint (Para. 4) probably mean?

A. Reach. B. Match. C. Find out. D. Set out.

31. What species might be carrying Ebola according to the passage?

A. Primates of West Africa. C. Bats in the tree.

B. Other bats in Guinea. D. Still unknown.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.

When you take a pill, you and your doctor hope it will work—and that helps it work. That’s

not a new idea. But now researchers say they know just how much of a drug’s effect comes from

the patient’s expectation: at least half.

When patients in the midst of a headache attack took a dummy (假的) pill which they thought

of as a widely used headache drug, it reduced their pain. It worked almost as much as when they

took the real drug thinking it was a placebo (安慰剂).

“There was no difference between the real drug and the placebo dressed up with a nice word in

reducing pain,” researcher Ted Kaptchuk says. “Basically we show that words can actually

double the effect of a drug. That’s pretty impressive.”

And if it works when treating headaches, it also might work for a wide variety of other

illnesses. The findings have interesting implications for doctors and patients, because what doctors

say about a medicine appears to have a lot to do with its benefits. Beyond that, it raises a question

of whether drug companies should take subjects’expectations into account when they test a new

drug.

The study is the latest in a series that’s helping to work out the mysteries of the placebo effect.

Before the study, the group has already shown that placebos can have the effect of active medicine

in patients with asthma (哮喘), and that even when patients know they’re taking a placebo, they

can get relief from the pain.

32. According to the first two paragraphs, what’s new of the research is that _____.

A. half of the drug’s effect, if not more, is from the patients’ expectations

B. dummy pills could be thought of as a widely used headache drug

C. your and your doctor’s hope helps the drug work.

D. placebos work better than real drugs

33. Placebos can have the effect of active medicine in reducing pains when doctors _____.

A. conduct tests on the effect of new drugs

C. take the patient’s expectations into account

B. tell patients that placebos are mysterious

D. describe the placebos’ good effect to patients

34. According to the passage, the findings have interesting implications in that _____.

How many times does the heart beat in a day? The answer depends on the person. A little
