1．The Best Books to Give as Graduation Gifts Any recent graduate will enjoy reading through these books that make excellent graduation gifts．
This Is Water by David Foster Wallace
Perfect for：All grads．Here's why：David Foster Wallace only delivered one graduation address in his career，and his message was so lasting that the entire speech was published in hardcover．What's unique about Wallace's words：Though he warns graduates of the ordinariness of day-to-day adult life，he reminds them that their newly acquired skills can help them maintain awareness and sympathy as they move forward for success．
Bounce by Matthew Syed
Perfect for：Both artists and athletes．Here's why：In this optimistic guide to success，the United Kingdom table tennis champion Syed combines detailed research with his own experiences to backhand the general perception that talent is merely based on genetics（基因）．In studying the achievements of great artists，composers，and athletes，Syed finds they have one thing in common：hours，and hours，and hours of practice-about 10，000 hours each．
Leave Your Mark by Aliza Licht
Perfect for：The ambitious recent-grad trying to figure out how to make it．Here's why：This is not just a career advice book，but a whole instructor in novel form．Famous fashion communications executive（總監(jiān)）Aliza Licht shares her secrets for successful personal branding（品牌）and how to do well as someone just starting their career．It's just like meeting someone for coffee and career advice but in written form．
Rising Strong by Brené Brown

2．A couple of days ago I unexpectedly lost my job．It wasn't anything too important：I was just a carrier for the Scarborough Mirror，delivering newspapers every Wednesday and Friday．But it brought in a good amount of pocket money for a student like me．
During the first week of September I planned to stop my job，as I wanted to focus on my academics with school to start．I found a family on my street who were willing to take over and so I took their names anti numbers and turned them in to my district representative along with my resignation．
That was last week．This Tuesday came and I was supposed to get the newspapers to deliver on Wednesday．They didn't come．I just assumed there probably wasn't much to deliver so they would just give me everything tomorrow．It'd happened before so I wasn't too worried．There was a seed of doubt，however，in my mind，that maybe the handover of this job was misunderstood．But I pushed that thought aside and just went on as usual．
Wednesday morning came and the papers weren't lying on my driveway as they'd done for the past 9 months．My mom reminded me to call my district representative，who told me the route had indeed been turned over to the other family．She couldn't have understood my message when I said I would work until September．So much for 2 more weeks of work!
In a way，I'm glad because I don't have to worry about delivering newspaper in the burning sun．On the other hand，I wasn't ready to give up my job so early，so the unexpected loss was a tiny blow to me．
Despite these negative feelings，I'm looking forward to the next summer when I'm getting promoted and my wage will rise from what I had with the job，which gave me good experience about hard work and chances to meet my neighbors．
（1）Why did the author plan to quit the job？
A．He could barely put up with its hardship．
B．He hoped to shift his attention to studies．
C．He had earned enough to afford schooling．
D．He desired to turn it over to a needy family．

A．The family to replace me．
B．Messages of my dismissal．
C．The papers to be delivered．
D．The district representatives．
（3）What do we know about the author？
A．He got fired on account of his own fault．
B．He didn't have his potential appreciated．
C．He didn't submit his resignation as required．
D．He had intended to stop the job in late September．
（4）In which aspect did the author benefit from the summer job？
A．Learning to live with his personal imperfection．
B．Establishing a closer tie with his community．
C．Facilitating his organizational skills．
D．Breaking the habit of laziness．組卷：6引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．Dogs began to branch out from wolves tens of thousands of years ago，when their wild ancestors started interacting with humans．Over time，domestication shaped their behavior，and today pet dogs are especially expert at understanding cues（暗示）from humans．For example，when a person points at a bowl，a pet dog will usually approach it．All kinds of complex pointing gestures have been tried with pet dogs，and they seem to do well．
Wolves are a different story，however．When the same experiments are done with wolves，they seem to be quite poor at it．So there's this big open question of how dogs became dogs．
Bhadra，an Indian behavioral biologist，is interested in whether dogs require training to understand cues like pointing or if the behavior is inborn．Most studies have focused on pet dogs in developed countries but Bhadra thinks it's an error to neglect how stray dogs respond to human cues．
In India，there's a huge population of stray dogs that live on the streets for generations．The researchers felt that the free-ranging dogs were a very nice system，which could give them inputs about what dogs could have been like before being made parts of human families．
For the study，the researchers approached stray dogs on the Indian streets．One experimenter presented the dogs with a piece of raw chicken in a plastic bowl．About half of the time，the dogs ran away，scared．But the friendlier dogs that stuck around were tested for their ability to respond to pointing．Once a dog proved interested，the first experimenter put chicken in one of two bowls and covered both bowls．A second experimenter，who had no knowledge of which bowl contained the meat and thus couldn't give subconscious cue information，pointed at one of the bowls while the dog watched．About 80 percent actually followed the point and went to the bowl that the second experimenter pointed toward．
Bhadra thinks this demonstration provides evidence that training is not required for dogs to understand complex pointing cues．Perhaps further studies with stray dogs can help reveal more about what makes dogs the best friends of human beings．
（1）What does the example in paragraph 1 show about pet dogs？
A．They can figure out some human gestures．
B．They're particularly attached to their owners．
C．They may make sense of specific human speech．
D．They're easily distinguished from wolves in intelligence．
（2）What does the underlined word "neglect" in paragraph 3 mean？
A．Ignore．
B．Estimate．
C．Guarantee．
D．Claim．
（3）How did the second experimenter give dogs directions？
A．By mistake．
B．In a logical manner．
C．At random．
D．Through trial and error．
（4）In which section of a newspaper can we read the text？
A．Environment．
B．Technology．
C．Discovery．
D．Chemistry．組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
18-year-old Sadiya was born in Deora，a small village in eastern India，but moved to the city of Mumbai when she was 3．In 2020，when the pandemic（疫情）broke out，her father's small business was forced to close temporarily and the family returned to her ancestral village to wait out the pandemic．
However，it greatly shocked her when she found that attending school was uncommon in Deora，where almost half of the villagers couldn't read．Unable to afford textbooks，many families often withdrew their children from schools．They didn't wish to educate their children，many of whom had to work in the fields with parents though some had the desire to read．
Sadiya，the college girl with a strong sense of social responsibility，has been trying to seize opportunities to open doors for others．Fluent in Hindi，Urdu，and English，she often speaks at inter-college events on the right to education and enjoys a high reputation among college students．
Used to taking on challenges，Sadiya was determined to do something for the children．One day last July，Sadiya sat down with her family elders and proposed the idea of setting up a library"．Many shook their heads in disagreement-this wasn't how a young girl should spend her time．
After many discussions，Sadiya finally convinced them and gained access to her relative's guesthouse，mending it with ＄67 that she'd won in public-speaking awards．She took the help of her uncle，Akbar，and cousin，Nawaz，and got to work．Walls were repainted，the bamboo roof was repaired and lights and bookshelves were fixed，and the room was filled with chairs and a long table．Vivid charts stuck on the walls-from anatomy（解剖）to transportation，lightened the space．Looking at the newly-decorated "library"，Sadiya couldn't hold back her excitement while imagining the children reading books here by light．
All was ready except books．So what Sadiya was desperate to do next was fill the shelves with books．She drew on all her savings and purchased many books suitable for children online．
注意：
1．續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
