I joined the coast guard because I wanted to help people. Hovercraft (气垫船) are rare and special. They’ve
been discontinued in most commercial operation, because they are so expensive to make, but when it comes to
search and rescue, they’re priceless.
From far away, a hovercraft looks like a normal boat. But if you look under its skirt, the craft is not touching
the water — it floats on a cushion of air. That cushion allows us to travel over everything from water to muddy land
— and even break through ice. We do all of that as a 70-tonne machine, going a maximum of nearly 120 kilometers
per hour. These features allow us to rescue a large number of people quickly get onto land, and get someone into an
ambulance far easier than with any other device I can think of.
The advantages of hovercraft can also make them difficult to handle. We’ve got a massive vehicle moving
fast, sometimes in a thick fog bank up a narrow river. During assignments on other coast guard ships, I had 20
minutes to make alterations to avoid a crash. In a hovercraft, I have 10 seconds. You have to have enough
situational awareness to make the right decision every time.
People call us for all sorts of problems: missing divers, on-board fires, or even when they’ve run out of fuel or
had a mechanical breakdown. A container ship could burst into flames. We have a strong network here at the base
to help everyone through difficult situations like that. Thankfully, we have captains who train us in a safe
environment, but you don’t ever get fully comfortable. Anything can throw the hovercraft off — maybe your lift
settings are off a little, or the wind blows with a bit of extra weight. After several years operating a hovercraft, I’m
still learning. Every one of the captains here agrees: you can drive this thing for 20 years and still be surprised.
4. What makes hovercraft unsuitable for commercial use?
A. Their safety risks. B. Their poor durability. C. Their low efficiency. D. Their production costs.
5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. How a hovercraft works. B. What comprises a hovercraft.
C. What distinguishes a hovercraft. D. How a hovercraft helps victims.
6. What challenge do hovercraft pose to the pilot?
A. They have to make faster responses.
B. They often face mechanical breakdowns.
C. They need more people for decision making.
D. They must consider the environmental concerns.
7. What does the author think of operating a hovercraft?
A. Dull. B. Demanding. C. Enjoyable. D. Effortless.
C
“Few articles change owners more frequently than clothes. They travel downwards from grade to grade in the
social scale with remarkable regularity,” wrote the journalist Adolphe Smith in 1877 as he traced a coat’s journey in
the last century: cleaned, repaired and resold repeatedly; cut down into a smaller item; eventually recycled into new
fabric. But with the improvement in people’s living standards, that model is mind-boggling in the era of fast fashion.
The average British customer buys four items a month. And it is reported that 350,000 tonnes of used but still
wearable clothes go to landfills in the UK each year.
Yet the gradual revival of the second-hand trade has gathered pace in the past few years. At fashion website
Asos, sales of vintage clothes (古董衫) have risen by 92%. Clothing was once worn out of necessity, and now it is
simply a way of life. Busy families sell used items on eBay, teenagers trade on Depop and some fashion people offer
designer labels on Vestiaire Collective. Strikingly, it has become big enough business that mainstream retailers (零
售商) want a slice of the action.
For some buyers and sellers, the switch to the second-hand is born of financial difficulties. Only a few have
become worried about the impact of their shopping habit on the planet. But the shift is only a partial solution. Some
people worry that some mainstream brands may “greenwash” — using second-hand goods to improve their image,
rather than engaging more seriously with sustainability.
However, the biggest concern may be that people keep buying because they know they can resell goods, still
chasing the pleasure of the next purchase but with an eased conscience (愧疚). Boohoo, a powerful fast fashion
company, has seen sales and profits rise, despite concerns about environmental problems in its supply chain that led
to an investigation last year.
A new Netflix series, Worn Stories, documents the emotional meanings that clothes can have: Each old item is
full of memories. Actually, a handbag from a grandmother and a scarf passed on by a father are both valuable for us.
A love of style is not a bad or an unimportant thing. But a committed relationship is better than a quick flash. Can
we learn to appreciate our own old clothes as well as others’?
8. What does the word “mind-boggling” underlined in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Unbelievable. B. Popular. C. Reasonable. D. Influential.
9. With the business mentioned in paragraph 2, the author wants to show _______.
A. old clothes are more popular than new pieces
B. the online second-hand markets are booming
C. the fashion world begins to favor vintage clothes
D. many clothing brands are innovative in their new products
10. How does the second-hand trade impact people according to paragraph 4?
A. It makes people feel free to pursue fast fashion.
B. It makes people more cautious about their budgets.
C. It encourages people to choose eco-friendly clothes.
D. It pushes people to be more engaged with sustainability.
11. Which of the following views does Worn Stories advocate?
A. Old items have lost favor with the public.
B. Old items are worthy of being long cherished.
C. Older generations attach great importance to old items.
D. Older generations care about the quality of their clothes.
D
Television has transformed politics in the United States by changing the way in which information is spread,
by altering political campaigns, and by changing citizen’s patterns of response to politics. By giving citizens
independent access to the candidates, television reduced the role of the political party in the selection of the major
party candidates. By centering politics on the person of the candidate, television accelerated the citizen’s focus on
character rather than issues.
Television has altered the forms of political communication as well. The messages on which most of us rely
are briefer than they once were. The stump speech, a political speech given by traveling politicians and lasting 1 to
2 hours, which was popular in the nineteenth-century, has given way to the 30-second advertisement and the 10
second “sound bite” in broadcast news. Increasingly the audience for speeches is not that standing in front of the
politician but rather the viewing audience who will hear and see a short video of the speech on the news.
In these simplified forms, much of what comprised the traditional political speech of earlier ages has been lost.
In 15 or 30 seconds, a speaker cannot establish the historical context that shaped the issue in question, cannot detail
the probable causes of the problem, and cannot examine alternative proposals to argue that one is preferable to
others. In short videos, politicians assert (断言) but do not argue.
Because television is an intimate (亲密的) medium, speaking through it requires a changed political style that
is more conversational, personal, and visual than that of the old-style stump speech. Reliance on television means
that increasingly our political world contains memorable pictures rather than memorable words. Schools teach us to
analyze words and print. However, in a world in which politics is increasingly visual, informed citizenship requires
a new set of skills.
Recognizing the power of television’s pictures, politicians craft televisual, staged events designed to attract
media coverage. Much of the political activity we see on television news has been crafted by politicians, their
speechwriters, and their public relations advisers for televised consumption. Sound bites in news and answers to
questions in debates increasingly sound like advertisements.
12. What do we know about “stump speech” in paragraph 2?
A. It’s an event created by politicians to attract media attention.
B. It’s an interactive discussion between two politicians.
C. It’s a kind of political presentation typical of the nineteenth century.
D. It’s a style of speech common to televised political events.
13. It is suggested in paragraph 4 that ________.
A. politicians need to learn to become more personal
B. attractive politicians are favored by citizens
C. citizens tend to favor a politician who analyzed issues
D. citizens need to learn how to evaluate visual political images
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Political presentations today are more like advertisements than in the past.
B. Politicians today tend to be more familiar with the views of citizens than in the past.
C. Citizens today are less informed about a politician’s character than in the past.
D. Political speeches today focus more on details about issues than in the past.
15. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Television: an Agent of Change in Politics B. Television: a Platform for Political Debate
C. Television: an Alternative to Stump Speech D. Television: a New Medium for Communication

项。
How to give effective feedback (反馈)
In the ever-evolving landscape of personal and professional growth, feedback serves as a compass (指南针)
guiding our journey towards improvement. ____16____ Constructive feedback should follow several principles.
____17____ It’s not unusual to tell someone about something that upset or pleased you six months later. It’s
also easy for people to start from the point of view of “everything you do is rubbish”, especially when things are not
going well. But don’t. Think about exact and precise occasions and behavior that are still fresh in both the giver’s
and receiver’s minds.
Lay stress on behavior, not personality. Your feedback should target how they act, what effects it has on you or
how it makes you feel. Remember that you are making no comment on what type of person they are, or what they
believe or value. ____18____
Focus on improvement rather than criticism. It is expressed in a manner that encourages growth and avoids
being negative. To take it a step further, it also provides suggestions for change. ____19____It involves putting
constructive criticism between positive or encouraging comments. For example, when discussing a project with an
employee, start by praising their hard work, then add the areas for improvement, and conclude with encouragement.
Offering effective feedback to others is a win-win act. ____20____ Both of you get a slice of personal
development. To develop better feedback skills, you need to keep practicing and make it a habit. Anyway, practice
makes perfect!
A. Be timely and specific.
B. Adopt a tolerant attitude.
C. It’s just like sharing a pizza with a friend.
D. So giving feedback is like making sandwiches.
E. But you can get better at it after reading the principles.
F. However, it can be difficult to give feedback effectively.
G. This reduces the risk of making the receiver feel attacked.

brakes, her return to ____31____, where she earned a master’s degree in special education. She eventually founded

a Handicappers meeting. I had never seen so many people with so many ____33____. I returned home, thinking how
