About five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard(蜥蜴) was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported

the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard

emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it.

I didn’t think about it much until a morning last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst

into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the

months.

The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband’s birthday. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty

was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to do something special.

“Let’s make a cake for Dad!” I cried.

My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons

on the walls! Flowers on the table!

Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a

glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed

loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday.

Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful

attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary(纪录片) series The Last Dance.

The poignancy(酸楚) of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to play baseball and what had pushed him

to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it

with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither

of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was

different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.

Humans do not shed skin(蜕皮) as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process

is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new.

Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.

40. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1?

A. Its tank grew dirty.

B. Its old skin came off.

C. It got a skin disease.

D. It went missing.

41. Why did the author’s husband have banana pudding for his birthday?

A. The birthday cake was ruined.

B. The author made good puddings.

C. Pudding was his favorite dessert.

D. They couldn’t afford a birthday cake.

42. Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage?

A. To prove a theory.

B. To define a concept.

C. To develop the theme.

D. To provide the background.

43. The underlined part “leaving behind the layer” in Paragraph 8 can be understood as __________.

A. letting go of the past

B. looking for a new job

C. getting rid of a bad habit

D. giving up an opportunity

44. What does the author most likely want to tell us?

A. Love of family helps us survive great hardships.

B. It’s not the end of the world if we break things.

C. We should move on no matter what happens.

D. Past experiences should be treasured.

A trial project by the Montreal Children’s Hospital suggested that the use of medical hypnosis(催眠) can reduce

pain and anxiety in patients. The project also resulted in a reduction in the amount of medicines used to perform

medical-imaging(医学影像) procedures.

“During the examination children don’t move. It works perfectly. It’s amazing,” said Johanne L’Ecuyer, a

medical−imaging technologist at the hospital.

The project was inspired by a French team from Rouen University Hospital Centre where examinations are

done under hypnosis instead of general anesthesia(麻醉).

A French medical-imaging technologist—also a hypnotist—was invited to train a few members in the medical-imaging department of the children’s hospital. In all, 80 examinations were conducted for the project between

January and September, 2019, focusing on the imaging procedures that would cause anxiety.

Hypnosis is not a state of sleep: It is rather a modified(改变的) state of consciousness. The technologist will

guide the patient to this modified state− an imaginary world that will disassociate itself more and more from the

procedure that follows.

“The technologist must build up a story with the patient,” Ms. L’Ecuyer said. “The patient is left with the power

to choose what he wants to talk about. Do you play sports? Do you like going to the beach? We establish a subject

that we will discuss throughout the procedure.”

Everything that happens next during the procedure must be related to this story—an injection(注射) becomes

the bite of an insect; the heat on the skin becomes the sensation of the sun and a machine that rings becomes a police

car passing nearby.

“The important thing is that the technologist associates what is happening outside the patient’s body with what

the patient sees in his head,” Ms. L’Ecuyer said. “It requires creativity on the part of the technologist, imagination,

a lot of patience and kindness.”

The procedure appealed to the staff a lot when it was introduced in January.” It spread like wildfire that

someone from France was here to train the technologists,” Ms. L’Ecuyer said. She added that she had a line of staff

at her door wanting to take the training.

45. One of the results produced by the trial project is __________.

A. a better understanding of children

B. less use of certain medicines

C. new medical-imaging technology

D. an improved reputation of the hospital

46. The French technologist came to the children’s hospital to __________.

A. assist in treating a patient

B. carry out hypnosis training

C. start up a new department

D. learn about the procedure

6

47. According to Paragraph 5, hypnosis works by __________.

A. creating a perfect world for patients

B. forcing patients into a state of deep sleep

C. putting patients into an unconscious state

D. leading patients’ consciousness away from reality

48. What can we learn about the story used in the procedure?

A. It should keep pace with the procedure.

B. It reflects the patient’s creativity.

C. It is selected by the technologist.

D. It tells what doctors are doing to the patient.

49. The procedure was received among the staff with __________.

A. uncertainty

B. enthusiasm

C. worry

D. criticism

50. What is the passage mainly about?

A. An easy way to communicate with patients.

B. The standard method of conducting hypnosis.

C. An introduction of medical-imaging technology.

D. The use of hypnosis in medical-imaging procedures.

D

There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of

things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well−lived life.

Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch

of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and

less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels

of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.

Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also

weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize

they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to

exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion(排除) of others can hold back your

true spirit.

Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its

connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective(视角) into

specific fields of expertise(专长). The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can

give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.

Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your

interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor

Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by

the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese

7

philosophy.” I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit.”

These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the

interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad,

general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.

51. To become a specialist, one may have to __________.

A. narrow his range of knowledge

B. avoid responsibilities at work

C. know more about the society

D. broaden his perspective on life

52. The specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to __________.

A. treasure their freedom

B. travel around the world

C. spend most time working

D. enjoy meeting funny people

53. According to the author, a superior doctor is one who __________.

A. is fully aware of his talent and ability

B. is a pure specialist in medicine

C. should love poetry and philosophy

D. brings knowledge of other fields to work

54. What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?

A. Passion alone does not ensure a person’s success.

B. In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.

C. Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.

D. Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.

55. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist

B. Specialist or Generalist: Hard to Decide

C. Turn a Generalist into a Specialist

D. Ways to Become a Generalist

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

I’ve always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhood was filled with arts, crafts(手工) and music,

and every day was an exciting adventure of creation.

Somewhere along the way, however, I lost touch with my creative self. At 21, I landed a job at a big insurance

company out of my business degree. I would go to the office, sit at my desk and repeat the same work five days a

week 9 to 5. The days were long and tedious. Working this way for one year was painful enough, let alone a lifetime.

Before long I decided to make a change.

One thing I had developed an interest in was sewing, so I took a sewing course at a community college. It was

only a five-week course but it awakened my interest and got my confidence up.

As I dreamt bigger, I began looking into college courses for Fashion Design and three months later I signed up

for a part-time design course. I attended classes two nights a week. Although exhausting, it gave me energy,

enthusiasm and happiness.

As it became clearer that fashion was what I wanted to do full time, the reality of my day-to-day work at the

insurance company became harder. I felt bored. No energy, no motivation and zero fulfilment(满足感).

I knew I needed to make a bigger change. After struggling for quite a while, I made a difficult decision—leaving my job and studying my design course full time. Two years later I got my diploma.

The last few years have been exciting because I’ve been following my heart to do what I love. Today I am

living a creative life as the designer of my own fashion brand.

Sometimes it’s hard to make a change, but I’m so glad I set the wheels of change in motion with that very small

first step because it has led me to where I am today.
