22、The world is filled with smart，educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago，my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fixed it in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. I was amazed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.

I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant（顾问）who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth.”

There is an old saying that goes，“JOB means ‘Just Over Broke（破产）”. And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers “____________They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend that young people seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn.

When I ask the classes I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's？” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald's makes more money than you？” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

【1】The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .

A. he is just one of the talented people

B. he is ready to help others

C. he has a sharp sense of hearing

D. he knows little about car repairing

【2】The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“ ”.

A. spend more than they can afford

B. do in their own way

C. live in their own circle

D. live within what they earn

【3】Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?

A. They don't work hard enough.

B. They lack financial intelligence.

C. They don't make full use of their talents.

D. They have no specialized skills.

【4】The main purpose of the author is to tell us .

A. how young people can find a satisfactory job

B. what schools should teach about finance

C. why so many talented people are poor

D. how McDonald's makes much money

23、Maeve Higgins once set herself a task. The Irish-born comedian wanted to see what life would be like if she stopped laughing at things that weren’t funny. Turns out it wasn’t as easy as she thought. “It was so hard,” she says. “ Laughter is a lubricant (润滑油) and is expected, and it’s really hard not to do it.”

Higgins suggests there’s something particularly special about being part of the shared experience that is live comedy — that curious magic that occurs when people come together specifically to laugh.

Comedy is more than just a pleasant way to pass an evening, humour more than something to amuse. They’re interwoven into our everyday existence. Whether you’re sharing an amusing story at a party or telling a dark joke at a funeral, humour is everywhere. But what is it for? And can humour, as comedy, change how we feel, what we think or even what we do?

As an essential part of human interaction, humour has been on the minds of thinkers for centuries. One of the most enduring theories of humour was put forward by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes. It asserts that humour appears to make fun of the weak and exert superiority. While this is clearly the function of some comedy, it’s far from a complete explanation for the overall purpose of humour.

For some comedians, it’s not just about getting laughs — it’s about changing what we think and maybe even what we do. If there’s one comic who is really typical of this, it’s Josie Long. A social justice activist and a comedian, Long has a reputation for delightful, optimistic humour and storytelling.

As her career has evolved, she has consciously put social and political topics at the heart of her act. She believes that comedians have a role to play in challenging some of the most pressing issues of the day.

British comic Stephen K Amos sells out venues seating thousands, year in, year out. Amos firmly believes that when comics consciously deal with pressing or controversial （有争议的）social issues like racism, they can reach people on a much more meaningful level than that achieved by briefly lifting someone’s mood. And while it may be difficult to quantify, he says, the social and psychological impact of comedy deserves much greater recognition.

The research backs this up. Although the role of comedy is to be entertaining first and foremost, Sharon Lockyer, a sociologist who studies humour, has identified a number of possible other functions. These include challenging stereotypes (刻板印象).

Amos’s work frequently settles the issues of race by challenging stereotypes.”I don’t do things for shock value,” he says. “ I do stuff that matters to me. In the old days it was just about doing jokes. We’ve moved on — people are talking about things that matter. ”

【1】What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?

A．The benefits of laughing.

B．What a comedian’s daily work is about.

C．Why Maeve Higgins chose to be a comedian.

D．Maeve Higgins’ understanding of the appeal of comedy.

【2】What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A．Protect the weak from the evil.

B．Encourage people to be stronger.

C．Be determined to improve oneself.

D．Show you are better than other people.

【3】According to the article, how does comedy have an effect on social issues?

A．By gradually influencing people’s attitudes.

B．By urging politicians to try and solve the issues.

C．By quickly yet thoroughly changing people’s thinking.

D．By calling on the whole society to pay attention to the issues.

【4】According to the article, comedy includes the following roles except ________ .

A．getting people to laugh

B．promoting social progress

C．influencing people’s ideas

D．making people more productive

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The small wedding celebration was set for the next day. Twenty-one friends and family members were getting together at a beautiful villa in the hills near the charming town of Brighton, just under an hour's drive from the airport.

“I can't wait for the barbecue tonight, never mind the wedding,”said Emma to her husband, John.

The couple arrived at the airport around 6 p. m. After checking out, they rented a car and headed towards the property where Emma’s daughter, the bride, was eagerly waiting to share such a magical event with the ones she loved.

As they crossed the hilly landscape, the sun had gone down and rain was falling heavily. But that didn't take away from the beauty of the island. They chatted happily. John, from the driver's seat, kept her amused, completely unaware that the rainfall—more than nine inches would fall that day—had already reached dangerous levels.

As they drove past the town and up the winding road into the hills, the rain intensified, and the sky grew darker. They were approaching a bridge over what was usually a small stream when a lot of dirty and fast-moving water unexpectedly washed over it. In just a few seconds, their little white car slid into the now rapidly flowing river and rolled down the hillside.

The incident unfolded so rapidly that the two inside the car were too stunned to scream. As the car moved through the water, hitting the underside of a couple of bridges, they held on tightly to the seats and doors in shock.

Emma, seated in the back with a large present box for her daughter, noticed water coming into the car. Muddy water was pouring into the car, rising quickly.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Emma realized they had to get out before the water level became too dangerous.
