22、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood，but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend.
Always honest
Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.
There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give you advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend makes time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.
Always respectful
A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.
Always understanding
It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving and understanding，even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.

23、For most of his life, Chuah Kee Man, 34, has lived by the Arabic saying “Man jadda wa jada”. It was taught to him by a teacher in his schooling years, and means “Only those who work hard will get what they want”.
“I love this, not only because of the meaning, but the fact that the word ‘man’ in the saying reminds me of myself since my name ends with ‘Man’. So, it’s like an inner voice that reminds me to give my best in everything, and therefore I live with that philosophy in my life. I am currently a lecturer at University Malaysia Sarawak, majoring in English Language teaching and Cognitive Linguistics,” explains Chuah.
Asked what the best part about being Malaysian is, he answers: “Being able to learn and embrace the diversity of cultures, languages and beliefs of the different races living together in Malaysia, without the fear of losing one’s own identity. I personally believe I have grown into a unique breed – of ‘a Malaysian first’ – whereby I can speak multiple languages fluently and also appreciate various cultural practices openly.”
Being in Malaysia, Chuah feels that everyone has the right to highlight their differences, even if they come from different backgrounds.
“We can still come together in sharing some common humanitarian values that we hold in our respective communities. Living in a rural area of Sarawak, we still share many common national borders and values and a love for peace and harmony among my family and the people here.”
Chuah concludes: “Even if we disagree on certain things, we still continue to respect each other with the knowledge that none of us wants to do any harm. Because at the end of the day, we get to know each other more and become better Malaysians for it.”
【1】Why is Chuah fond of the Arabic saying?
A．Because it was taught by his favorite teacher.
B．Because it stresses the importance of setting goals.
C．Because his name has the same meaning as the saying.
D．Because it reminds him to spare no efforts to do things.
【2】Which saying can best explain Chuah’s life philosophy?
A．Great minds think alike.
B．Diligence is the mother of success.
C．Good advice is beyond all price.
D．A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
【3】What is the biggest advantage of being Malaysian in Chuah’s opinion?
A．Experiencing various cultures without losing one’s own identity.
B．Being a successful English lecturer easily.
C．Having the chance to get all he wants.
D．Speaking multiple languages fluently.
【4】What does Chuah mainly stress in the last two paragraphs?

B．Sharing common humanitarian values is not easy.
C．It’s vital to respect and live in harmony with each other.

24、A “talk show” is a show organized mainly around talk. Television talk shows have been around since the dawn of radio. Thus the start of talk shows’ golden age can be considered as 1948, even though television wasn’t common in American homes until the 1950s. From 1949 to 1973, nearly half of all daytime programming was talk.
Why are there so many talk shows? A talk show costs less than ＄100,000 per episode(一集) to produce whereas many of today’s TV series cost more than ＄1 million an episode. Thus , if successful, it can produce handsome profits . Still, it takes a lot of work . Since 1948, hundreds of talk shows have come and gone, with only a few having true staying power.
There are several types of talk shows , but while the styles might vary, the format(形式) is limited.
What we are most used to is the informal guest-host format, in which shows’hosts welcome famous people or other talk –worthy persons for an informal discussion.
The second most common format is the public issues show, in which hosts interview people in the news or experts in a given field. Shows that follow this format include both morning news programs and “issue” talk shows:
The Museum of Broadcast Communications’ Bernard M. Timberg notes two governing principles of all successful talk shows:
The host is everything :The host has a high degree of control over their show, from subject matter to comedic atmosphere . They are also the show’s brand and are responsible for it. The host can attract and refuse guests, organize their program and , in many cases, name a successor(继任者) when they retire.
Right here, right now: The second rule is that a talk show must be experienced in the present tense, whether it is broadcast live or taped in front of an audience earlier in the day. They should feel fresh, as if they are happening in the moment, even if the show is a 10-year –old rerun.
【1】What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. How talk shows appeared? B. Why talk shows appeared?
C. When talk shows appeared? D. Where talk shows appeared?
【2】What is an advantage of talk shows?
A. They are easy to make.
B. They are cheap to produce.
C. They come in varied formats.
D. They remain successful for a long time.
【3】The two formats of talk shows differ in_____________.
A. the atmosphere they create
B. the time they are broadcast
C. whether they are sent out live
D. whether they invite famous guests
【4】What is the key to talk shows’ success according to the second principle?
A. Dealing with the most popular issues.
B. Giving the audience an up-to-date feeling.
C. Inviting the audience to the place where the shows are made.
D. Running the shows several times to refresh the audience’s memory.
25、 In the future, we will be competing against medically-enhanced workers who can work longer and harder than us. Artificial intelligence will make it easier to monitor our every move in the office. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s a likely _______, according to a new report by professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The report, which _______ a team of science researchers and a survey of more than 10,000 workers based in China, Germany, India, the U.K., and the U.S., predicts that rapid advances in technology, resource _______, and population demographics are among the key forces that would radically _______ the future of work by 2030.
According to PwC, these forces will result in four potential futures: one where “humans come first,” one where “innovation _______,” one where “companies care,” and one where “corporate is king.”
In the future world where corporations reign, PwC states that “human effort is _______ through sophisticated use of physical and medical enhancement techniques and equipment, and workers’ performance and _______ are measured, monitored and analysed at every step. A new breed of elite super-workers emerges.”
This is a world where performance is everything, and workers will need to create every _______ to stay ahead. This may sound like a stressful objective, but the majority of people surveyed _______ the challenge.
Seventy percent of the workers surveyed said that they would undergo ________ to improve their body and mind if it would improve their chances of employment. This could be because we believe it’s up to us to improve our careers — even if that means pill-popping performance-enhancing drugs. Of those surveyed, 74% said it was their individual ________ “to update their skills rather than relying on any employer.”
To visualize this ________ future, PwC created a mock news article reporting from 2030 that detailed the first large-scale use of brain-enhancing drugs in the workplace.
But you don’t need a fake news report to see this future; real news reports about augmented bodies in the office have existed for some time. Companies in the U.S. and Europe are already offering microchip implants to workers, so they can enter company buildings and get their chips from the vending machine with the ________ of a hand.
PwC predicts that the idea of a cyborg workforce will go from science fiction novelty to mainstream in the next few decades.
“So implants at work are already possible and happening and people will use it ________ to pay for things and to get on to buses and public transport. Why would they not 10 years later go, sure, put one in my brain to make me think harder or for ________ ?” Jon Williams, PwC’s people and organizations division leader told The Australian about its survey. “It’s just natural progression.”
