2．Architecture is amazing.It has changed the way I look and interact with the world and my environment.It has trained me to be hyper-sensitive （過度敏感） to the built environment，to recognize problems and find solutions that an untrained eye would never notice.
As much as I love this profession，it is very easy to get lost in architecture.I get so focused that I have forgotten about everything else.Luckily my passion for cycling kept me sane （清醒的） while I was becoming an architect.I faced a lot of obstacles and challenges taking a bicycle ride across the United States.Looking back，cycling across the America was actually one of the smartest things I ever did.
I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice；East to west.Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean，both times.Bicycling across America isn't as hard as you think.
I rode alone on my first trip in 2005 from Virginia Beach to the coast of Florence，Oregon.In the end it was 4，547 miles over the course of 77 days.
I left for the second trip in 2007 with my two best friends from Bar Harbor，Maine to Portland，Oregon，which was a 4，886 mile ride over 90 days.At that time，I fell in love with the idea of leaving the east coast behind，starting a whole new life and career in a new city.I ended up in Portland.After arriving in town on a bike，I eventually found a job，a place to live and an amazing dog.
I share all this not to convince anyone to go biking across America，but only to share how doing this has changed my life.Architecture has given me a wonderful life and career but it isn't everything.Thankfully I have also been very passionate about：my friends，traveling，bicycles ，punk rock，technology，the internet，my dog，and even yoga.My architecture background has definitely sweetened my relationship with all those things.
Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit，but you should keep pursuing everything else that you are passionate about.It will enhance your architecture career and ultimately make you a more interesting person，which in my opinion is really more important than being another silly architect.

C．a(chǎn)ppreciate other people's good intentions

3．A human heart is so much more than an organ.No one says they left their pancreas （胰 腺） in San Francisco，for example，or that two kidneys （腎臟） beat as one.Yet most of us believe that two hearts can beat as one，and that the heart reveals our real emotions.Now there's some evidence that such folk wisdom is true.
When people listen to the same story-each alone in their own home-their heart rates rise and fall together，according to a new study published last month in Cell Reports.Professor Lucas Perra，a senior author of the study，said， "It's the story that drives the heart."
This finding corresponds with a mountain of research showing that our brains synchronize （同步） when we interact in the same location or participate in the same activity.The new study goes one step further；it tests whether our heart rates become synchronized while taking in the same narrative-even though we're not in the same room nor even listening at the same time as other listeners.
Marcel Proust wrote at the turn of the 20th century， "the heart does not lie." Data tells us much the same：The heart's connection to the brain is so tight that when we hear the same story，our heart rates synchronize.Subjects in the same group produced synchronized heart rate patterns that rose and fell at roughly the same times during the narrative.
The results are"heartwarming，"said Prof.Perra."Heart rat correlation （關(guān)聯(lián)） between subjects does not require them to actually be interacting，or even be in the same place.It's not the interaction between people but the story itself that does the trick."
The point，he said，is that when we listen to the same radio program or watch a Netflix show，our hearts beat together，showing that "we're not alone."
（1）What does the underlined expression "folk wisdom"refer to in the first paragraph？
A．Kidneys beat like hearts.
B．Hearts are important organs.
C．A human heart conveys feelings.
D．Organs have close links with emotions.
（2）What can we learn from the new study in Cell Reports？
A．People like listening to the same story in separate places.
B．Human's brains synchronize when driven by different stories.
C．People tested in the same group have the same heart rates.
D．The same story can make listeners have the same heart rates.
（3）What's the author's purpose of writing this article？
A．To report a research finding.
B．To argue against an opinion.
C．To tell readers a moving story.
D．To call for immediate action.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A．The Way Human Hearts Work.
B．The Same Story，the Same Heartbeat.
C．The Heart's Connection to Brain.
D．The Importance of Heart Rates.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.6

9．Keeping up seemed so important when I was a teenager.Back in 1973，if you weren't wearing Penn Loafers （樂福鞋） you'd just as soon go around in your bare feet.There was only one problem that year，I had bought Oxfords-but Penny Loafers were in.
"I need some money for Penny Loafers." I told my dad one afternoon at the place where he worked as a car mechanic.
Dad looked at me for a full minute before he answered， "Wear those shoes one more day.Look at every pair of shoes you see at school.If you can tell me that you are worse off than the other kids，I'll buy new shoes for you."
The next day，I did what Dad said.I saw many schoolmates wore torn shoes of the likes I'd never had to wear，and shoes with holes in them，but I had no intention of telling him the results.
When school was out，I rushed to the place where Dad worked.It was quiet.Only an occasional clank （叮當(dāng)聲） of metal could be heard as Dad worked under a car.Then dad's shoes came into my sight.They were old and black，the kind mechanics and service-station attendants wore.I saw the mended soles （鞋底） and the spliced laces （拼接的鞋帶） .
"You do what I told you today？"
"Yes，sir."
"Well，what do you want to do？" He looked as though he might know what my answer would be.
"I still want the Penny Loafers." I forced myself not to look at his shoes.
Dad handed me ten dollars.I took the money and went to the store two blocks down the street.A rack （貨架） on a far wall appeared as if it had a million pairs of black Penny Loafers resting on it.On a rack next to it was a sign that reads "CLEARANCE 50% OFF".Below the sign sat several "young" versions of Dad's shoes.

1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 詞左右；
