Many have had the same thought as Shannon St. Onge when looking at the approach of snow on a weather forecast-that they have time to finish their jobs. As the director of finance at the First Nations University of Canada, she had to drive 25 kilometers from her home to the city of Regina to attend an important meeting.
As she was leaving, the winter snow began to fall. Taking a dirt road for better traction（牵引）on her tires, she quickly became lost, with no ability to see the edge of the road from a rolled-down window. After a while she stopped and called 911.
“The operator took my information and told me to wait out the storm as my tank was full and I was warm. I waited almost 14 hours and nobody has called me yet to check in, ” she wrote in a Face-book post.
“Would the gas tank last until morning? What if I was hit by another vehicle? What if I didn’t make it home at all?” St. Onge wondered.
Determined to ensure the safest end, she went out in the storm and discovered her location on a road sign, and then found a neighborhood Facebook group for the area she was passing through-warning others of her plight through a Google Maps pin.
That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr., a retired rescuer, got a call about St. Onge’s situation. He went out to find her, on foot, since he couldn’t manage to start his tractor.
On the way he found three other stranded（被困）vehicles. He walked the quarter mile there and back, and led the helpless cars one by one to his home. Bouvier let the survivors sleep at his house, where they ate and laughed, and departed the next morning after he had cleaned the driveway.
24. Why did St. Onge take a dirt road?
A. She was familiar with it.
B. She could refuel on the road.
C. She took the dirt road to save time.
D. She thought dirt road could increase traction.
25. What did the operator advise St. Onge to do?
A. Wait out the storm.
B. Find a warm place.
C. Ask Bouvier for help.
D. Write her condition in a Facebook post.
26. What does the underlined word “plight" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Wrong turn.
B. Poor sense of direction.
C. Difficult situation.
D. Bad weather.
27. Which of the following can best describe Bouvier?

C
If having to make a choice between reading an e-book and a printed book, which would most people choose? Some would go for an e-book while some still prefer the hard-printed book.
Undoubtedly, e-books do have benefits. Firstly, changes to an electronic publication are relatively easy to make. They are quicker to obtain. E-books are more easily updated. The printed books on many subjects can become outdated very quickly. Secondly e-books can be easily and quickly kept up to date. You usually get far more than just the e-books. Most e-books are sold with bonuses and related information that usually do not come with the purchase of a printed book. Moreover, they take up less space. Instead of a big library, you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer. It also makes it easier to share this information with families and friends.
For nearly twenty years, additionally, futurists have been predicting the development of printed books. The conventional view has been that digital e-books are on the verge of replacing paper books. However, this has not been the case. A printed book has its advantages too. Firstly, it is an object that can be carried and used alone. It needs no electric outlet（插座）, no batteries, nothing. Secondly, e-books will always require some forms of support that the printed book does not need.
I believe that the online publishing has not taken off because people want real books. What is being published online more and more are pamphlets（小册子）and things that really do not need to be in print. These are stuff that people throw away afterward. More often, people do not want to read a book on the computer. What could be better than a paper book? It lasts a long time. These books are designed to last a long time without disappearing.
To sum up, there is no denying that the printed book is still very much preferred over its digital cousins. Reading electronic publications is just not the same when it comes to books. People are still very interested in real books and notebooks.
28. What can we know about an e-book?
A. It will never be out of date.
B. It always gives you an added bonus.
C. It can deliver information quickly.
D. It has taken the place of printed books.
29. Which statement would futurists probably agree with?
A. Printed books will disappear.
B. Printed books can be used alone.
C. E-books have many restrictions.
D. E-books have no drawbacks.
30. What is one cause of the failed online publishing?
A. The low demand for book industry.
B. The expectations from people.
C. The guidance of policy.
D. The desire for the printed books.
31. What does the author think of the future of the printed book?
A. Hopeless.
B. Unpredictable.
C. Costly.
D. Promising.

D
An economist, Adam Smith, famously wrote that “it is not from the benevolence（慈善）of the butcher, the brewer or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. ” Like Smith, many economists today believe one’s self-interest is what drives competition and growth in market economies. Yet, in an increasingly interconnected society, it is even more crucial to have cooperative skills. Thus we should encourage cooperation to better prepare children for the future.
Firstly, cooperation is an especially prized soft skill in the present age. As a study proves, soft skills such as good communication and empathy（共情）indicate outstanding employees as compared to technical skills or knowledge. In contrast, extremely competitive and individualistic behaviour may damage social relations in the community of co-workers. Even the most competent employee may fail to pursue his goals effectively without others’ help.
Moreover, encouraging cooperation boost children’s self-respect that better prepares them for the competitive world. Many modern societies are consumed by a crazy drive for success and the pressure to perform has infiltrated both classrooms and offices, causing higher rates of anxiety and depression among people. Teamwork can help an individual realize each has his or her own unique abilities and that another person’s strengths don’t discount his or her talents. Thus, cooperation can confirm children’s self-worth by correcting the insight that winning or paper achievement is the only measure of success.
However, critics may claim adapting to competition should be given priority in education and parenting. To achieve one’s ambitions, one has to actively fight for opportunities and distinguish oneself from others. Nevertheless, since passion can already stimulate children to fulfill their ambitions, the need to encourage competition may be at the end of the day. As much as external competition can drive people to pursue excellence, internal motivation is at least equally or even more essential, and cooperation plays an instrumental role in helping one uncover one’s motivations.
32 What can be inferred from Adam Smith’s words?
A. Our society is increasingly interconnected.
B. Our dinner is made out of the regards to markets.
C. Self-interest pushes the development of economies.
D. The butcher, the brewer or the baker is not sympathetic.
33. What does the underlined word “infiltrated” mean in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Brightened. B. Decorated.
C. Defended. D. Entered.
34. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Paper achievement is the only measure of success.
B. One’s ambitions can be achieved through cooperation.
C. Competition is not necessary for people to pursue excellence.
D. Actively fighting for distinguishing oneself should be prioritized.
35. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To introduce the advantages of cooperation.
B. To compare cooperation with competition.
C. To suggest enhancing competitive skills.
D. To advocate teaching children to cooperate.

Exams are an important type of assessment almost all students will need to undertake. The best way to study is not to recite it all in hours or minutes before an exam. Exam stress affects most students in various ways. 36
How do you face such an important day? If you have not been able to study the complete contents till now, don’t long to finish it all. 37 In your bag, collect all your supplies such as pencils, several pens and other important writing materials. Put the bag and everything else that you might need in one place. This will help to reduce your worries in the morning.
When you arrive at the hall, surround yourself with friends who are supportive or just go through your notes quietly. Always make it a point to study the subjects which you find easier to learn first. 38 Therefore, do not go round asking crazily for the answer. This will just upset you and send you into panic mode.
39 Before the examination starts, make sure your question paper is complete. Read the instruc
