At the core of the ever-evolving technology industry, there are a few key individuals who have left a deeper influence and changed the lives of many people, giving them motivation and the will to persevere to the end.
Sunder Pichai—the current CEO of Google
Sunder Pichai was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. However, his story never fails to remind all that with determination and hard work, one can beat the odds. During his time as the CEO, Pichai led the launch of Google Chrome, Google Drive and Google Maps, which have features that have transformed the modern lifestyle.
Steve Jobs—the late CEO of Apple
The life of Steve Jobs can be compared to a roller coaster(過山車). He was fired from the company that he co-founded (known as Apple now), and then he went on to start up two other successful companies, before returning to Apple, where he created the iPhone, a significant invention of this century.
Elon Musk—the founder of SpaceX and Tesla
Elon Musk used to be a major shareholder in PayPal and was also its CEO but was dismissed due to disagreements with the company leaders. He left PayPal and went on to establish SpaceX and invest Tesla, both of which turned out to be successful companies. Currently, he has set his sights on ways to reduce global warming, including keeping a lookout for new sources of renewable energy, and has an exciting ambition to establish a human colony(聚居地) on Mars.
Sal Khan—the pioneer of online education
He may not be that famous, but his contribution to education deserves much credit. Using his website, anyone can have unlimited access to educational videos that teach just about anything for free without attending a formal course. In fact, it was not an easy process. There were a lot of dying moments when he was stressed out, but anyway he made it.

I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn't finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional(功能障礙的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect.
On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5:30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.
Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths couldn't bring me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I chose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to send emails to about 50 Harvard students to ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SAT when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.
Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.
Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow

This past January, Captain Preet Chandi set foot on a historic and decidedly icy trail, becoming the first woman of color to reach the South Pole alone, without assistance. While others might have been content to make history with this singular accomplishment, “Polar Preet” Chandi is not one to rest on her achievements. The journey to the South Pole was merely “phase one” of a larger and even more extraordinary goal for the adventurous British Army officer.
“For phase two”, the 35-year-old has set her sights on crossing Antarctica—once again doing the journey alone to become the first woman to achieve this goal.
On November 14, Chandi departed from Hercules Inlet, an ice-filled bay at the southwestern section of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf bordering the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. Her goal is to reach Reedy Glacier within 75 days, a coast-to-coast journey consisting of roughly 1,100 miles. And “roughly” is the key word here—she'll be pulling a sled(雪橇) with equipment weighing about 264 pounds altogether, and she'll be doing so in temperatures that can sink to minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit, with wind speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.
Her journey thus far required years of training. Prior to her 700-mile South Pole journey, she prepared by attending a polar survival course in Norway. She continued her training back home in the UK by dragging tires, the closest thing to pulling a sled, and a month-long practice run in Greenland. Ultimately, Chandi went on to finish her first South Pole expedition in 40 days, eight full days ahead of schedule.
In addition to setting records of human endurance in extreme conditions, Chandi tries to inspire others in her day-to-day work.
Chandi will be posting interval(間隔) voice blog updates of her phase two progress on her website, , where a live tracking map will also provide her current location at every point along her journey.
“Nothing is impossible. I've always had this idea that I can achieve something great, something that allows me to be a role model,” Chandi shared on her blog.
28.Why does Chandi want to cross Antarctica
A.To take further challenges.
B.To stick to a promise.
C.To realize her childhood dream.
D.To raise money for poor women.
29.Why does the author emphasize the word “roughly” in paragraph 3
A.To hide the author's bad memory for numbers.
B.To indicate that there are more challenges faced by Chandi.
C.To explain that there is no proper word to describe the journey.
D.To show there is no official figure about the distance to Antarctica.
30.What can we infer from paragraph 4
A.Chandi got trained by pulling sleds.
B.Survival training was a hard process.
C.The journey to the South Pole was eventful.
D.Chandi made full preparations for her adventure.
31.Which words can best describe Chandi
A.Active and creative.
B.Inspiring and friendly.
C.Confident and determined.
D.Adventurous and modest.
D
The Forbidden City is well known for being full of cultural and historical Chinese relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City(《我在故宮修文物》) does not just focus on the stories of the past.
Instead, the documentary movie, which came out on CCTV-9, focuses on ordinary people—the restorers(修復者) of relics and antiques.
The stories are told at a slow and relaxing pace, reflecting the restorers' work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers' patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship(手藝) in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for precision and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance...all these qualities come from the craftsman spirit.”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play the guitar and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City tells us that many people's ideas about antique restorers are wrong, allowing them to realize that the restorers are not dull, old professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
32.According to the text, what's the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City
A.To show people how antiques are restored.
B.To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers.
C.To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.
D.To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.
33.What can we learn from what Wang Jin says in paragraph 4
A.He often gets tired of his work.
B.There is no need to do restoration work fast.
C.Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful.
D.It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration.
34.What does the underlined word “humdrum” in paragraph 5 mean
A.Different.　　　B.Relaxing.　　　C.Unusual.　　　D.Boring.
35.What is the purpose of the bicycle-riding scene in the documentary
A.To show the different image of antique restorers.
B.To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers.
C.To remind the audience of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
D.To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration.

Paul's old clock was supposed to wake him up at six in the morning of August tenth, but, unfortunately, the hour hand stopped in the early hours again. Instead, Paul was awoken by the noisy breakfast-table talk of the Stephen brothers next door.
“Now, I've won the National Poetry Creative Award!” the older brother shouted loudly.
“You have to do the housework for the coming whole week!”
“Okay,” the younger responded unwillingly.
Paul rushed down the stairs of his apartment to the kiosk(報刊亭) by the street in his pajamas. Among the crowd of seven o'clock's Los Angeles, he was unique, in a funny manner, like a clown escaping from a circus. Despite that, he caught nobody's eye. He threw a few coins into the glass jar and then grabbed the newspaper from the old kiosk owner. His behavior didn't frighten the old woman—he was the most loyal customer of her store for the past few years.
Paul liked to invent something, and he was fond of literature and had been dreaming of becoming an editor. He skimmed through the annual nomination(提名) on the front page of the newspaper, and the brightness in his eyes turned less bright as he moved down the list of names, which eventually faded when he reached the end. He lifted his eyes from the newspaper and started staring at the kiosk owner dully(無精打采地), an expression similar to that when he arrived. The old woman sighed—she was so accustomed to this lifeless look on his face but had prayed to see something new every August.
“Bad luck,” with this, Paul slid away rapidly. When approaching the corner of the street, he narrowly knocked down an old gentleman, the kiosk owner's husband, Arthur, who once was a chief editor of a local famous magazine and now he was retired.
注意:續寫詞數應為150個左右。
After hearing what his wife said about Paul,Arthur decided to give him a hand.

第一節
One possible version:
My Story of Courage and Determination
When it comes to courage and determination, I will never forget the time when I learned how to ride a bike.
In the beginning, with Dad holding the back of the bike, I rode happily and safely. After some time, Dad told me to ride independently. Though a little scared, I gave it a try. It was tougher than I had expected. After several attempts, I finally rode the bike steadily. At that moment, I felt like I were flying.
Whenever I meet with difficulties, this experience inspires me to be courageous and determined.

With Arthur's valuable advice and great support, Paul became confident and edited his own magazine for teens, named Super Inventor, which encouraged teens to make full use of their imagination and potential to make a contribution to society.
One morning of the next year's August,with the magazine he had edited in hand,Paul stood beside the kiosk nervously to sell it. “You just need that tiny bit of patience,” the kiosk owner comforted him. Together with the help of Arthur, Paul made great effort to introduce his magazine to the passers-by. Shortly after, many people were attracted to the beautiful cover of Paul's magazine and crowded around. Within two hours, all his magazines were sold out. Paul said thanks again and again to Arthur. “It is your persistence and abilities that matter a lot,” Arthur patted Paul on his shoulder.
