27、There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion (排 除) of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective into specific fields of expertise (专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.”
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
【1】What is good about being a generalist?
A．You don’t need to be pushed by society.
B．You will need to know less and less.
C．You know more about your occupation.
D．You can enjoy your life to the fullest.
【2】Paragraph 3 mainly talks about specialists’ ______.
A．choices
B．limitations
C．regrets
D．expectations
【3】According to the author, a superior doctor is one who ________.
A．is fully aware of his talent and ability
B．should love poetry and philosophy
C．brings knowledge of other fields to work
D．is a committed specialist in medicine
【4】What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
A．Passion alone does not ensure a person's success.
B．In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.
C．Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.
D．Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.
28、People can be addicted to different things, e.g. alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive, i.e they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders; they feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational-impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasures that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies and advertisers use psychology to increase business: they consider people’s need for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy” to help individuals solve their personal problems. In the same was, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.
【1】According to psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money ________.
A. and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys
B. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life
C. just to meet his or her strong psychological need
D. entirely with an irrational eagerness
【2】The passage is mainly concerned with ________.
A. the psychology of money - spending habits
B. the purchasing habits of compulsive spenders
C. a special psychology of bargain hunting
D. the use of the psychology of spending habits in business
【3】Which of the following statements is true?
A. All people spend money for exactly the same reason they need to buy things.
B. Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of money to increase sales.
C. Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do.
D. Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.
【4】From the passage we may safely concluded that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters ________.
A. are really unreasonable
B. need special treatment
C. are really beyond treatment
D. can never get any help to solve their problems with money
29、Everyone loves a holiday! A little time off for some much-needed R& R (rest and relaxation) can be exactly the thing to rejuvenate and refresh you from work. So if you’re struggling to think of your next destination, then look no further. Don’t waste time debating where to go, but let your blood decide.
Everybody has a lineage (家系). Recently, finding out more about our family origins has become popular. By the start of 2019, 26 million people had taken an ancestry DNA test at home, according to a report by MIT Technology Review. They believe by 2021 this number will have risen to 100 million.
This trend has been noticed by opportunistic travel operators. Some are looking to provide a service that allows people to both track their family roots and travel to the destinations where their ancestors originated.
Airbnb, an online boarding marketplace, recently partnered with 23andMe, a DNA testing company, to offer recommendations that encourage travellers to walk in the footsteps of their forefathers. And they aren’t the only ones.
The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin has its own“genealogy butler (宗谱管家)”. Hellen Kelly offers advice to help guests track their Irish lineage using official records. This allows them to “fill in the blanks of their Irish ancestry”, she told Good Morning America.
The Conte Club, a luxury travel company, offers custom routes of travel based on DNA tests. “These experiences are about going deeper into who we really are,” says the Conte Club CEO Rebecca Fielding in an article in the Condé Nast Traveler. “It might be the most meaningful trip we can take.”
So next time you think of going on vacation, why not take a DNA test first? Once you know how far you are from your family, take time to holiday back.
【1】What does the underlined word “rejuvenate” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Make one take a holiday.
B．Make one feel lively again.
C．Make one do a DNA test.
D．Make one return to work.
【2】What is the main reason leading to the new travel way?
A．The creativity of the travel agency.
B．The report by MIT Technology Review.
C．The competition of the boarding market.
D．The rising number of people tracking their lineage.
【3】How does the writer convince us of the rise of the new travel way?
A．By making comparisons.
B．By analyzing information.
C．By giving examples.
D．By offering reasons.
【4】What’s the writer’s attitude to the new travel way?
A．Negative.
B．Supportive.
C．Uninterested.
D．Doubtful.

31、阅读短文，根据首字母或中文提示在空白处填入1个适当单词的正确形式。
Arianna Huffington has been very vocal (直言的) about the importance of sleep since accidentally overworking herself to the point of exhaustion (筋疲力尽) in 2007.
Critics might point out that she managed to establish a(n) 【1】 (公认的) successful media company, the Huffington Post, after years of losing sleep. But Huffington said that was not the case.
Contrary to popular belief, she told CNBC Make It that she truly became successful when she quit working round-the-clock.
“Huffington Post was only a two-year-old baby when I 【2】 (突然倒下),” said Huffington.
After coming to realise the importance of sleep, Huffington started to see a difference in her work 【3】 (方式) and that’s when her business began to grow.
“I can tell you with authority that when I’m exhausted, I’m the worst version of myself,” said the entrepreneur (企业家). “I’m more reactive. I’m less creative. And all of us can testify to that.”
“I’m not c【4】 you that people can’t succeed by burning out. But they can succeed much more effectively, and much more sustainably, and with much less damage to their health and their relationships,” said Huffington.
32、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
65-year-old Richard Oslen was interested in adventure and hunting. This time he hunted on a land near Watford City, N.D.. In the cold winter, he set out to try a new place. He didn’t take his cell phone, thinking that it was not a must. He walked more than half a mile with two dogs to a wheat field.
Keeping an eye open for a bird taking flight, Richard stepped on a thin crust of ice on a river. The ice broke into pieces and dropped him four feet to the bottom.
Realizing that he was in trouble and was going to hurt himself, Richard decided to come to land quickly. However, his left leg was hurt, so he had to reach for his shotgun, unload it and use it as a crutch(拐杖). When he was partly up, he lost his balance and fell into the river again. This time one of his feet got stuck between two rocks. Richard told himself that if he didn't get himself out of that river, he wasn't going to have a very good night.
Richard managed to make his foot free and climbed more slowly and carefully. Richard suddenly realized the difficulty of the task before him.The accident happened at about 2 p.m., and it was almost 5 p.m. with the road far away as the sun was setting.
Although Richard met with many difficulties, he didn't give up. He was stubborn and sure that he must be persistent. With his gun's support, he tried jumping with his right leg. Once, twice, … he failed again and again, feeling extremely tired. After a longer break, he made a desperate attempt. Luckily, he managed to climb out of the river and lay on the land, gasping. Temperatures dropped, and his hands and feet soon were completely numb with cold.
Paragraph 1:
Richard' s dogs had been playing in the field and finally came up to him.
Paragraph 2:
Luckily, not all hope was lost ---- there came the seventh car.
