I’ve been obsessed(困扰) with languages for as long as I can remember. My dad could talk to everyone with ease, confidently 36 between languages. His abilities made a big impression on me, but he didn’t 37 me to follow his lead.
I wasn’t a(n) 38 language learner. I made slow progress with French at school and almost gave it up. But things felt different when I 39 German at university – loving many German writers in translation, I wanted to read them in their 40 tongue, and that’s been my main 41 for learning new ones since. Once I got German, I was 42 ; French, Latin, Greek and Sanskrit quickly followed. The idea of having a 43 overview of the world has always fascinated me, and 44 languages seemed a good way of achieving that. By my 20s, I’d set my heart on 45 the rest of my life to learning as many as I could.
I’m often asked what the 46 is, and whether some people have a gift for absorbing words and phrases. The truth is that it’s down to endless hours of 47 – reading, studying and practicing grammar. 48 , all these wonderful languages start to swim into focus, and ever increasing numbers of great works become 49 .
It’s hard, but the 50 can be thrilling. When I started studying Spanish, there was a moment when the living language suddenly 51 itself to me. Something 52 happened when I heard Swedish spoken around me. It seemed to 53 elements of languages I was familiar with. The more of them I know, the more I see how inter-related they are. All it took was three weeks and I was able to 54 effectively in complex conversations.
Now, I can read about three dozen languages and speak most of them fluently. I think I’m much richer for that – it makes me more 55 .

Manta rays are found in warm temperatures. The larger species reaches 7 m in width.
In 2016, a study was published by Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic D’Agostino on giant manta rays (蝠鲼), which explored the idea of whether these elasmobranchs(软骨鱼类)could be classed as self-aware. Giant mantas have the largest brain of all fish species, suggesting complex social interactions and are often referred to as intelligent. For the study Ari and D’Agostino used the mirror self-recognition test (MSR). It has been used to prove self-awareness in the great apes and Asian elephants.
In order to confirm whether an animal can pass this test, researchers first expose the animals to a mirror. If they show social responses they likely perceived their mirror image as another individual and did not recognise themselves in the mirror. If they show repetitive and unusual movements they are considered potentially capable of passing the test. Next, researchers usually place a mark on the animal’s body. They then observe what happens when the marked animal is placed in front of a mirror. Animals that pass the test will typically adjust their positions so that they can get a better look at the new mark on their body, and may even touch or try to move it. Typically, they pay much more attention to the part of their body that bears a new marking.
In the study, due to the difficulties associated with marking a manta ray, observations were made instead in relation to mirror exposure only. Results showed that the Mantas exhibited unusual and highly repetitive movements and self-directed behaviour when exposed to the mirror. More specifically they gave selective attention to the mirror by displaying significantly more repetitive movements than under control conditions as well as several unusual behaviours, such as exposing and observing their underside in the mirror and bubble blowing, similar to what was observed when bottlenose dolphins were exposed to a mirror.
Mantas are also able to change their colour, rapidly increasing the intensity of their white markings when a new individual approaches. This was not observed when they were exposed to the mirror, making it reasonable to assume that the animals did not recognize their mirror image as a new individual and that the observed behaviours were not part of normal social interaction.
Overall, Ari and D’Agostino’s study provides evidence for behavioural responses known to be prerequisites(先决条件) for self-awareness and which have been used by other researchers to confirm self-recognition in ape species. This experiment shines a light on the potential cognitive capabilities of fish and calls into question the ethical (伦理道德的) practices of current fisheries. Protection in some regions does exist. Despite this, up to 1,000 giant mantas are thought to be harvested from specific locations every year for their meat and gill rakers, the latter being traded as a kind of medicine.
58. Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic D’Agostino conducted the study to ______.
A. explore how mantas can survive in extreme conditions
B. display that mantas can interact with human beings
C. illustrate where self-recognition test can be applied
D. prove mantas have the ability to recognize themselves
59. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The final result of Ari and D’Agostino’s study.
B. The real purpose of Ari and D’Agostino’s study.
C. The theoretical basis of Ari and D’Agostino’s study.
D. The far-reaching significance of Ari and D’Agostino’s study.
60. How did Ari and D’Agostino make their findings?
A. By observing mantas’ behaviours.
B. By recording mantas’ colour changes.
C. By collecting statistics from self-recognition tests.
D. By comparing the differences between mantas and apes.
61. The result of Ari and D’Agostino’s study could lead to ______.
A. better protection of mantas
B. larger-scale hunting for mantas
C. tougher restriction on ethical fisheries
D. further research into other sea animals
C
The most important determining factor of success or failure – at work and in life – is self-awareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.
For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.
Though we may not face the same day-to-day threats to our existence, self-awareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.
But for most people it is easier to choose self-delusion(自我欺瞒)rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a world obsessed with self-esteem(自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed(有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities – from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.
How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal self-awareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external self-awareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.
It would be easy to assume that someone with internal self-awareness would also be externally aware – that being in touch with our feelings and emotions helps us tune into how we’re seen. Strangely, research has often shown no relationship between the two–some studies have even revealed an inverse(相反的)one.
For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that self-examination can have hidden pitfalls(陷阱)that make insight actually impossible.
62. The first three paragraphs center around ______.
A. the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors
B. the sharp contrast between self-awareness of today and the past
C. the necessity of a shift in self-awareness to satisfy the needs today
D. the significance of self-awareness in human survival and advancement
63. What’s the problem with “me” focused society nowadays?
A. People’s performance and abilities are overlooked.
B. It’s difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.
C. Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadship skills.
D. Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play.
64. What does the writer stress in this passage?
A. Knowing how others see us is the key to success.
B. Understanding ourselves inward contributes to a better fate.
C. Self-examination helps us gain true insight into ourselves.
D. Internal self-awareness and external self-awareness are closely related.#p#副标题#e#

Zelda D’Aprano was an unstoppable force, and if you didn’t like it, you best got out of the way. It’s through my work as a director of the Victorian Women’s Trust that I got to know Zelda, and she has been a personal hero of mine ever since. I feel lucky for every conversation we had together. Each time I walked away feeling like I could do anything, and she used those powers very skillfully. She told me to ask for more from the world, even if I wanted the sun. So, to honour my friend: I’ll have your moon too, thanks.
As a staunch feminist(女权主义者), labour unionist, and pay justice advocate, Zelda had an everlasting impact on the women’s movement and labour movements within Australia. She also took the time in her later years to help and nurture young feminists. I, and many others, are beneficiaries of that kindness.
She left school at 14 to join the workforce, and it was in this factory work she began to witness first-hand the inequality between male and female workers. With each job she took she would point out the injustice of this disparity(悬殊) to her employers and would be swiftly dismissed. She didn’t care about personal consequences, she cared about fairness.
In 1969, fed up with the lack of progress for women, Zelda secured herself to the doors of the Commonwealth Building to protest the dismissal in the arbitration court of the equal pay case, of which she was a test case with the Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union (AMIEU). In an all-too-familiar pattern, for this “outspokenness” she was fired from the AMIEU.
The legislation Zelda fought for has been all but eroded(逐渐消失的). The Equal Pay Act of 1972 has been aggressively watered down to become the “Fair Work Act” and no longer even mentions “pay equality”, “gender discrimination” or “equal pay”. We allowed ourselves to be the frogs in the hot water. Zelda noticed, and I’m heartbroken she couldn’t stay long enough to see us fix it. But fix it we will.
When Zelda was chained to the doors of parliament, a police officer began to criticize her. “Aren’t you embarrassed? It’s just you on your own,” he said. Without hesitating, she replied “No. Because soon there will be three, then there will be five, and then there will be …”. She was right. Ten days after her protest she was joined by Alva Geikie and Thelma Solomon. From that action, the three women founded the Women’s Action Committee and the Women’s Liberation Centre, from which the Women’s Liberation Movement in Melbourne was born. This changed the landscape of feminist organising in Australia forever.
In her 1995 biography, Zelda described wanting to get more women involved in activism, because “we had passed the stage of caring about a ‘lady-like’ image because women had for too long been polite ... and were still being ignored”. She didn’t care about what people thought of her, she cared about fairness.
The Women’s Action Committee organised the very first pro-choice rally in 1975, with an impressive turnout of over 500 women. It was reported by the media as a “horde of angry barefoot women” taking to the streets. Zelda assured me they were definitely wearing shoes. She really did walk the walk, throughout her entire life.
In 2015, the Victorian Trades Hall Council introduced the Zelda D’Aprano Award for union activism. In a bittersweet coincidence, the nominations(提名) for the 2018 award opened on the very day she passed away. The flag at Trades Hall was lowered to half mast in her honour.
The legacy(遗产)of Zelda D’Aprano cannot be contained within memorial writings, and it cannot die. It lives within the hearts of feminists – young and old – who, inspired by her spirit, will continue to fight for equality and fairness. It lives in the fire in our bellies. It lives in the smirk(假笑) we wear when we are doubted. Even through the heartache of loss, it lives.
65. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______.
A. provide some key information about Zelda D’Aprano
B. direct the readers’ attention to the powerful symbol
C. express great admiration for the great feminist
D. prove the popularity of the great feminist
66. Which of the following is the correct order of the major events in Zelda’s life?
a. She was fired from the AMIEU.
b. She left school at 14 to join the workforce.
c. She co-founded the Women’s Action Committee.
d. The Women’s Action Committee organised the very first pro-choice rally.
e. The Zelda D’Aprano Award for union activism was introduced.
A. eabdc B. bcdae C. bacde D. ebcda
67. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 imply?
A. Zelda D’Aprano’ s efforts were far from enough.
B. The authorities approved the The Equal Pay Act of 1972.
C. People could hardly put up with the inequality and unfairness.
D. People submitted to the worsening situation about women’s rights.
68. Which of the following can best describe Zelda?
A. Determined, tolerant and realistic.
B. Determined, ambitious and optimistic.
C. Conservative, stubborn and aggressive.
D. Independent, narrow-minded and generous.
69. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author ______.
A. appeals to people to follow in Zelda’s footsteps
B. encourages people to doubt the government’s decision
C. calls for the feminists to value the hard-won peaceful life
D. urges people to get over their heartache of losing Zelda
70. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Terrible Loss of Human Justice
B. An Unrealized Dream for Fair Pay
C. A Review of Australian Social Prejudice
D. A Pioneer in Gender Equality and Fairness

Do People in Public Life Have a Right to Privacy?
People, famous or not, have a right to privacy, which is a basic human right. Although some of them have voluntarily made themselves known to the world, they are still entitled to live a life without others following them all the time.
However, we have to distinguish between famous people. Basically, there are those who were seeking a public life—or at least knew to some extent what they were going into—and those who were not. Politicians, athletes, actors, musicians and entertainers belong to the former. The latter are ordinary citizens who become significant, because of their extraordinary experiences, for example, victims of crimes or tragedies, but also criminals.
The number of ordinary citizens who receive their celebrity (名人) status unwillingly is quite big and the privacy of those people needs to be especially respected and maintained. Names, addresses or pictures that could lead to the identification of a person should never be made public. It is not of interest for the readers, and it usually does not make a difference for them, what the name of someone is, but for the one concerned publication of identity could mean embarrassment and harassment (骚扰). Suspected criminals, for instance, could lose their jobs, their families could break up or their whole lives could get destroyed, even when they are innocent. Apart from that, as soon as someone is well known, they are pursued and harassed by journalists demanding interviews. Also in cases where a family just had to experience the loss of a dear person, the press usually shows little respect for that.
In the case of politicians or other powerful people, the right to privacy comes into conflict with another right, the public’s right to know. Therefore, the right to privacy of certain politicians sometimes has to be neglected to ensure a rightful running of the country. But do we need to get informed about everything there is?
Actually, the position of politicians in the eye of the public is especially difficult to judge. On the one hand politicians use their happy family and home in campaigns; on the other hand, we know personal behaviors have nothing to do with competence in running a country and private details, even if completely irrelevant, can still ruin careers. Sometimes only due to the intrusion (侵入) of privacy, corruption or similar crimes can be made public, but at the same time not everything in one’s life is connected to one’s office.
When personal morality and family values are deliberately used by politicians as a reason for them to be elected, they have chosen to make it a public issue rather than a private one. This is a sad fact, but it does not justify intrusion of the personal lives of all politicians. A politician still is, like everyone else, entitled to privacy.
