Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to
avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t miss an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I, m doing the right thing. tm buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
24. Why does the writer regard “if only, , as two of the saddest words in the English language?
A. Because people use them when they feel sad.
B. Because they express regret and disappointment in life.
C. Because they remind the writer of some sad experiences.
D. Because they mean sad in the English language.
25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3?
A. Given up. B. Come across. C. Got through. D. Held back.
26. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .
A. see a doctor B. finish her work
C. join a celebration D. accompany her father
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Advice from My Father B. Avoidance of Saying “If Only”
C. The “Extra Minute” Rule D. The Importance of Emotional Well-being
C
Imagine this scene: it’s blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.
That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish —hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the
title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.
Hygge —originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being — doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”
Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends —preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.
However, hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months —it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.
28. The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to .
A. help the readers to calm down
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. present the main idea of the passage
D. remind the readers of their past memories
29. What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?
A. The translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.
B. Only Danish speakers know what “hygge” means.
C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.
D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.
30. Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?
A. Skiing in the cold winter months.
B. Living through long dark winters.
C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.
D. Walking alone in the forest.
31. The author writes this passage to .
A. explain B. persuade C. comment D. advertise
D
You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it’s long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work?
Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.
VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? Al these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.
Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives — but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
32. What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?
A. A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.
B. A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.
C. A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.
D. A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.
33. Paragraph 3 is mainly about .
A. the principles of virtual reality B. the applications of virtual reality
C. the history of virtual reality D. the influences of virtual reality
34. According to the passage, virtual reality means .
A. imagining beautiful things in our mind B. creating something that doesn’t exist
C. experiencing things that don’t really exist D. cloning something that has died out
35. What is the writer’s attitude towards VR?
A. Appreciative. B. Cautious. C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent.

A cobra (眼镜蛇) was set free on September 10 in a park in Xiangtan City, South China’s Hunan Province. 36 And they began hunting for the deadly creature to try to prevent it from hurting anyone.
In the name of mercy, some people free captive (关在笼子里的) animals, including foreign species, mostly bought from pet shops or markets. 37 Last April, someone freed hundreds of foxes and raccoon dogs in a Beijing suburb, causing economic losses to animal farmers and endangering the safety of local residents.
38 Besides, today people are increasingly aware of the importance of environmental protection and biodiversity. But it is necessary to ensure that acts of freeing captive animals do not violate laws or harm the interests of the public. 39
In order to regulate the release of captive animals, the government revised the law on wildlife conservation in 2016. According to the updated regulations, no individual or organization should harm the public interest by freeing captive animals. 40
A. And any creatures set free should be local species that have no threat to local biodiversity.
B. However, their warm-hearted kindness often causes serious consequences.
C. Freeing a cobra in a park reflects the troublemaker’s ignorance of other people’s lives.
D. Such news has frequently appeared in recent years.
E. Local police immediately arrested the troublemaker.
F. Influenced by Buddhism, freeing captive animals is an act that deserves respect in China.
G. It is important to protect animals including those set free by people.

Dear Jacob,
How is everything going? I’m glad to receive your letter and know you’ve been admitted to the University of Cambridge. I’m writing to offer my warmest congratulations.
I am now in the process of university application, struggling with which major to choose. I’m a
science student in high school, so I’m supposed to choose majors related to science and engineering. But the problems are that I’m not sure where my interest lies and which majors have a bright prospect that can ensure me a good job. Do you have any suggestions on the choice of a major?
I would appreciate it if you could share your opinions with me.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
