Shelby, the star of "A Dog's Way home," has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.‎ Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call. Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby," said Buhler. "She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck/' The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.‎ Buhler and others didn't know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find — a — Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miler. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl's adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, ‎ and she was flat-out smiling/' Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the sei.‎ Most of the film's reviews have praised Shelby's performance. Variety made the comments "an amazing dog, perfect performance!"‎ Shelby has come a long way from the dump. But Buhler said she saw Shelby recently and needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same," Buhler said.‎ ‎24. Why does the author mention an actor’s struggle before a career breakthrough at the very beginning?‎ A. To make a sharp contrast between an actor's struggle and a dog's struggle.‎ B. To introduce a dog's similar but even more striking experiences.‎ C. To attract reader's attention by giving dramatic examples.‎ D. To clearly point out the main idea of the passage.‎ ‎25. What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film?‎ A. Her adoption picture. B. Her flat-out smiling.‎ C. Her personality and ability. D. Her miserable experiences.‎ ‎26. By saying "She is exactly the same" in the last paragraph. Buhler probably means .‎ A. the dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it B. it took quite a lot of trouble for the dog to change her own fate C. she's really excited to see the dog she helped live such a happy life D. the dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn't changed her inner quality ‎27. What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage?‎ A. The Success of “A Dog's Way Horned ‎ B. From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star.‎ C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog. ‎ D. Shelby's I lard-luck Story.‎ C China has long been tipped to be the next Silicon Valley, but now the finances and support are in place to make it happen.‎ There is a growing consensus （共识）that while Silicon Valley is not about to disappear any time soon, its next biggest rival is already on the verge of bursting onto the international scene — not in the US, nor in the EU, but in Asia. More specifically, China.‎ This is not just an observation based on the rise of companies like Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent. It is grounded in a more widespread move to fund start-ups in Asia to the point where more money is being invested there than in Europe. Just five years ago, Europe and Asia are neck and neck in terms of investment.‎ In 2013, Europe made slightly more deals. 1550 compared to Asia's 1071, but the total value of investment was S7bn. Just five years later, Asia is now four times the size of Europe with twice as many deals carried out. Between 2013 to 2018, the number of deals in Asia increased nearly fivefold, and their value leapt to S81bn, compared to the S21 bn raised in Europe. The Asian figure also shows that the continent is closing the gap on the US which saw $105bn worth of deals.‎ One of the main reasons that makes the country so attractive is not just the huge growth in investment and high education standards, but also local and national governmental support benefiting tech companies.‎ In fact, one of the conclusions of a recent Fortune tech conference was that China's tech companies will soon be beating American companies on their home turf(地盘）.One of the reasons is that investors believe US immigration policy is making it more difficult for the best talent around the world to find work there. Plus, Chinese companies are now able to start paying salaries that can keep pace with those on offer in Silicon Valley.‎ ‎1 fence, when Ian Roger, Chief Digital Official at luxury group LVMH was asked where he thought the next Facebook or Google would come from, he suggested it would be a close call between Silicon Valley and China. The latter had the investment that is needed as well as a hard work culture of a six-day week. It also has a superb education system and a huge population.‎ As Silicon Valley appears to be heating up a little too hard for some people, China would appear to be warning up at just the right pace.‎ ‎28. What does the expression on the verge of in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. on the top of B. on the list of C. on the condition of D. on the point of ‎29. Which of the following is NOT a reason why China attracts foreign investment in tech companies?‎ A. High education standards. B. Huge growth in investment.‎ C. Support from the government. D. Higher salaries than those in Silicon Valley.‎ ‎30. It can't be inferred from the passage that____________________ .‎ A. the US immigration policy is strict but talent-friendly B. Ian Roger believes the next Google might come from China C. employees of Baidu might be accustomed to overwork D. Chinese tech companies can provide highly competitive salaries now ‎31. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The total value of investment in Asia is tour times that in Europe.‎ B. Finances, high education standards and support make it possible for China to become the next Silicon Valley.‎ C. Asia attracts worldwide best talents to tech companies.‎ D. American tech companies will soon be beaten by those in China.‎ D People generally see themselves through achievements. In doing that, they end up caring more about their image than the reality of who they actually are. Rather than their performance at work, they end up defining themselves by external markers that they hope will earn them respect.‎ The problem with this is that it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure. For example, one day, their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned. Therefore, a better way to know a person, 1 think, is to ask a different set of questions: What motivates them? What makes them ache? What do they long for?‎ It’s in this spirit that I want to publicly share my values. They are the compass（罗盘）that guides my life. The kindest and most sincere thing I can do is to see, recognize, and understand another person before I make judgments. From there, I can learn to treat others appropriately, depending on the context, learning from my mistakes with time and experience. It's just a reminder that life is hard for all of us, while at the same time accepting that it's important we are ‎ all also held accountable for our actions.‎ I have learned that we are all deeply self-interested. I hope to be self-aware enough to check out of the power and status games. That means I'm not competing with anyone for a shiny object; I'd rather compete with myself. It's about becoming so uniquely different that it would be an insult for me to measure myself against someone else. I believe if I do the work to be internally free from the pull of the power and status games, then I can add value to others based on my unique knowledge and experience.‎ If this resonates with （与......共鸣）you, I invite you to join me on this journey in understanding and relating to this complex world. It's a wonderful mystery, and I think together we can better define it—not just personally, but also collectively.‎ ‎32. According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. People generally judge others' worth by what they have achieved.‎ B. The external markers are better ways to know a person.‎ C. The author is someone who is keen on power games.‎ D. Learning from mistakes is the first step of treating others kindly.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “overshadow" probably mean?‎ A. be relatively similar to B. cause something to be stronger than C. make something less important D. block off light from something ‎34. Which of the following might the author agree with?‎ A. People should be self-aware enough and compete with themselves.‎ B. Life is hard, so we shouldn't criticize others when they are not responsible.‎ C. Everyone is unique, so showing off uniqueness is an insult to others.‎ D. One should see and understand another person using a real compass.‎ ‎35. What is the writer's purpose of writing the article?‎ A. To promote harmonious living. ‎ B. To ask people not to judge others.‎ C. To call on readers to learn his values.‎ D. To share his values of understanding the world.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ For more than 60 years, Lego blocks have sparked children’s imagination. ___36___ They are called Lego Braille Bricks.
