Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections： After reading the passage below， fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word， fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word； for the other blanks， use one word that best fits each blank.

• 1．Agree to Disagree I am old enough to remember running through the whipping rain to find a phone booth，only （1）

  （get） cut off in the middle of the call because I ran out of change.I remember having posted hand-written letters home from overseas that would take two weeks to arrive.
      In comparison，the world of social media is truly a miracle.Free of charge，you （2）

  contact anybody，anywhere，anytime.Social media enables us to debate with people the world over.And this is a good thing in some aspects.In the market-place of ideas，you get to try on other people's shoes and see （3）

  the world looks like from their perspective.In the 90s，experts predicted an end to historical conflict because people would become more open-minded and tolerant.But this is sadly not turning out to be the cjye.aie.As psychologist Johnathan Haidt said in his article "The Codding of the American Mind，" social media（4）

  （create） people who are addicted to conflict and is driving polarization（極端化）.
      Because online disagreements are no longer being conducted between two people in an enclosed room，but are instead happening in a public space with thousands of onlookers，many debates have devolved into nothing more than a popularity contest—whoever walks away with the most "likes" （5）

  （crown） the winner.People often say things they don't believe in order to get more likes.（6）

  sugar—the more likes you get，the better you feel.
      Meanwhile，social media algorithms （算法） reinforce an echo chamber （回音室）.By （7）

  （expose） you to articles and videos similar in opinion to those you've clicked on before，they lure you down the rabbit hole（8）

  the media you consume is reinforcing the opinions you already have.
      Many of us have probably got（9）

  （stick） in a heated debate over some controversial topic.This may not matter much if the conflict occurs between strangers.But when it comes to close family or friends，the result can be unpleasant.Many people find it really hard to feel close to their friends （10）

  they have the same beliefs.
      My advice here is to bear in mind the following：You are entitled to your opinion；I just happen to think otherwise.So let's agree to disagree.

Section BDirections： Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

• 2．A．personally B．readiness C．safe D．demonstrate E.ensure F.comfortable
  G.facilitate H.courage I.intensively J.appreciate K.identity
     Inspired Minds Think AlikeAs a researcher and storyteller about people who make a large positive impact on the world and what they do differently，I have seen that individuals who have the real "goods" to inspire others have something that other folks don't.In fact，they （1）

  several critical traits that enliven us，light a spark inside of us，and make us want to be better，stronger and bigger.
     *They have used all of themselves to make a difference
     Look at the most popular TED talks that have gone viral and touched millions of people，and you will see people who struggled in their past but decided to use what they had （2）

  experienced to learn more，dig deeper，and finally，help （3）

  positive change for others.These in-spirers have grown （4）

  being totally authentic（本真的）and open about who they really are.They no longer worry about being rejected，scorned or put down.They have grown beyond feeling that they have to hide or suppress parts of themselves in order to be accepted.And it is their very（5）

  to use all of themselves -- openly and courageously -- that inspires and encourages us to do the same.
     *They express love and appreciation openly，and have deep empathy for others.
     Those who inspire us to be better are fully capable of experiencing empathy，and they openly express their ability to understand our personal "stories" and what we feel deep down.Instead of overprotecting us，they（6）

  who we are inside.This makes us feel（7）

  about reyealing our more authentic selves to others and allows for us to even more fully broaden the definition and sense we have of our own （8）

  all without having to worry about being embarrassed in the process.Love and acceptance is at the basis of what they do.Look at those who have made the biggest positive difference throughout history.Invariably，there is compassion and appreciation at that heart of who they are and what they stand for.
     *They believe in collective power
     Those who inspire others believe in collective power so that positive change can happen more quickly.Their focus is not directed at （9）

  or solely trying to build up their own wealth，power and influence.They want to see others rise，grow and expand.That's what fuels them and motivates their actions，business，and growth strategies.In doing so，they can become wealthy，powerful and influential，but this is only a by-product of their focus，which is directed at expanding collective strength and power，while working to （10）

  that whatever they do continues to make a positive impact on the world.
     Which of theses traits inspires you most to be more of yourself？

Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections： For each blank in the following passage， there are four words or phrases marked A， B， C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

• 3．I imagine a young man，a senior in high school.His academic performance is good enough.However，just as his parents are about to send the （1）

  check to a college where he has been accepted，the young man admits that he doesn't want to go to college.He wants to work，to earn a living，to be out on his own.
     Children have to build their own lives.But parents don't want them to commit errors that will make it harder to build those lives.How should children and their parents think about this（2）

  ？
     College is often discussed as a（n） （3）

  in the future：You pay up front so you can benefit abundantly for the rest of your life.The financial benefits of a college education over the past decades indeed look great.However，past performance won't necessarily ensure future returns.To make the plots more （4）

  ，from 1989 to 2016，college tuition went up by 98 percent.This has led to a lot of student-loan debt.
     It may be worth the cost for some kids who want to go into a field that requires a college degree，but others don't know what they want to do after college，so for them college is like buying an expensive （5）

  for future employment.Still，it's worth noting that in 2019，just 66 percent of college graduates were in jobs requiring a college degree.What's more，as of 2010，only 27 percent were in jobs related to their college major.
     Perhaps you don't primarily use （6）

  analysis to make decision about your life or your child's.But everyone wants to be happy，and wants their child to be happy as well.So let's look at the （7）

  effects of college.
     Some scholars have found that，when controlling for other factors in life such as income and religious faith，education by itself has no independent explanatory（8）

  over happiness.Some actually believe that education is negatively linked to happiness，and hypothesize that some college attendees exchange life satisfaction for their academic（9）

  .And there's all that student debt to consider.According to a Gallup study，student debt is negatively correlated with financial and physical health and sense of purpose，and is （10）

  low well-being on these dimensions for as long as 25 years after graduation.
     （11）

  ，the only thing we can say with assurance is， "It depends." On what？On the unique （12）

  of each person.A child's gifts，circumstances，and career ambitions all affect whether college is the right choice.Most of all，it depends on what they want to do.As a longtime academic，I can assure you that the No.1 （13）

  of a failure to thrive in college is not wanting to be there in the first place.
     That may be obvious to would-be students，but to many of their parents it isn't.The college decision is often as much about the parents as it is about their kids.It's easy to （14）

  our own desires onto our kids -- to try to see our own potential come alive through them.
     But it's a mistake.No one is a start-up enterprise，and there is not just one path to success.The college-for-all fever that has overtaken much of our culture（15）

  gifts that our kids have to develop and share.In fact，building their life with integrity and grit is what all parents could ever ask.

Section BDirections： Read the following two passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A， B， C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

• 4．Two things changed my life：my mother and a white plastic bike basket.I have thought long and hard about it and it's true.I would be a different person if my mom hadn't turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.
     My mother and father were united in their way of raising children，but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out.Looking back，I honestly don't know how she did it.Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task.，but she made it look effortless.If we complained about not having what another kid did，we'd hear something like， "I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday，you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday a lavish sweet-16 party." We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house.I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house.Like the two little girls growing up at the White House，we made our own beds （no one left the house until that was done） and picked up after ourselves.We had to keep track of our belongings，and if something was lost，it was not replaced.
     It was summer and，one day，my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed -- and there it was in the window.White，shiny，plastic and decorated with flowers，the basket winked at me and I knew -- I knew-- I had to have it.
     "It's beautiful，" my mother said when I pointed it out to her， "What a neat basket."
     I tried to hold off at first，I played it cool for a short while.But then I guess I couldn't stand it any longer： "Mon，please can I please，please get it？I'll do extra chores for as long as you say，I'll do anything，but I need that basket，I love that basket.Please，Mom .Please？"
     I was desperate.
     "You know，" she said，gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believes was the coolest thing ever， "If you save up you could buy this yourself."
     "By the time I make enough it'll be gone!"
     "Maybe Roger here could hold it for you，" she smiled at Roger，the bike guy.
     "He can't hold it for that long，Mom.Someone else will buy it.Please，Mom，Please？"
     "There might be another way，" she said.
     And so our paying plan unfolded.My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn't find.Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there （washing the car，helping my mother make dinner，delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front）.And then，weeks later，I counted，re-counted and jumped for joy.Oh，happy day!I made it!I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon….
     Days later the unthinkable happened.A neighborhood girl I'd played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny，new bike that already had all the bells and whistles.I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster.This horrible turn of events.
     And then came the lesson.I've taken with me through my life："Honey，your basket is extra-special，" Mom said，gently wiping away my hot tears. "Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself."
