• 1．Rereading is a guilty pleasure for many readers.How can a keen reader abandon his to-be-read list and waste time with a book he already knows？At the same time，according to many experts，the act of rereading（1）

  （regard），without doubt，as the only way to truly understand a text.
      Academics most often discuss the benefit of rereading as a way to gain deep understandings of complex texts and of the self.Teachers of early reading-age children agree that rereading improves understanding beyond basic words.For adults，rereading is necessary to understanding a text well so that good critical arguments（2）

  be made.
      Rereading helps to build a better understanding of a book.（3）

  rereading，many readers find it impossible to appreciate a writer's subtle talents or to comprehend a text's inner ideas and themes.
      Rereading is also an act of self-reflection.The practice of purposeful rereading in（4）

  creates a kind of self-consciousness.Since the book never changes，it functions as a constant（恒量）（5）

  can be used to measure the reader's growth.It is a way to re-examine the reader himself and the changes he（6）

  （undergo） since the initial reading.
      Of course，there are possible drawbacks to rereading as well.Rereading takes time，（7）

  （draw）the readers away from their to-be-read list.And it's hard to imagine（8）

  frustrating it can be if a beloved book falls short of your rosy memories in rereading.
      According to David Galef，emotions like pleasure，excitement，and curiosity cause the reader to rush through a story and pass over the inner complexity（9）

  （appreciate）in re-readings，and yet they are also important elements that may be dulled by those repeated readings.Furthermore，（10）

  your rereading is focused and intentional about gaining new thoughts，it may not result in improved understanding.

  Though it is not unusual to find marine animals under the Antarctica seafloor，researchers had always assumed that there would be few（1）

  of life farther away from open water and sunlight.However，the discovery of filter-feeding（濾食的）organisms--160 miles away from the open ocean，with temperatures of -2.2℃ and under complete darkness--suggests that life in the world's harshest environment may be more（2）

  than previously thought.
     In 2017，BAS geologist James Smith and his colleagues conducted a three-month expedition to the middle of Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf，to collect（3）

  of the seafloor deposits.The team drilled through the half-mile of ice by pumping almost 20，000 liters of hot water through a pipe.After about 20 hours of painstaking work，they were finally able to reach the seabed underneath.
     However，when the scientists lowered the instrument，along with a camera，to collect the soil，it came up empty.After multiple failed（4）

  - each round trip taking about an hour- the researchers took a closer look at the footage and noticed a massive stone sitting amid the（5）

  flat seabed.Even more surprisingly，the rock was covered with stationary animals，like sponges（海綿）and potentially unknown species.
     The finding has（6）

  many scientists given that certain organisms，such as sponges and coral polyps（珊瑚蟲(chóng)），which live their entire lives（7）

  to rocks，or other hard surfaces，need food supplies.In the open water，the "marine snow，" as the food is called，comes from（8）

  organic matter，which drifts down from the upper waters to the deep ocean.However，the species in such depth are too far from the open sea to receive（9）

  supplies of nutrients.To make matters worse，due to the area's strong ocean currents，the food has to travel anywhere from 370 to 930 miles to get to them.
     "This is by far the furthest under an ice shelf that we've seen any of these filter-feeding animals，" said Smith."These things are stuck on a rock and only get fed if something comes（10）

  along."

• 3．Most of us have no difficulty recognizing luck when it's on apparent display，as when someone wins the lottery.But（1）

  often plays out in delicate ways and it's easy to construct narratives that portray success as out of everything but luck.These misleading stories have surprising implications for human mindset，downplaying the power of chances.
     Consider the history of the Mona Lisa.After having stayed in the（2）

  for most of its early existence，the painting was pushed into the spotlight in 1911 when it was stolen from Louvre.The famous theft remained（3）

  for two years until a maintenance worker was arrested after trying to sell the painting.His arrest caused a second wave of（4）

  with the painting on everyone's lips.As in the art world，it is so too in the world of work.Almost every career path consists of a sequence of steps，each of which depends on former ones.Inevitably，some of those（5）

  steps can be influenced by chance factors，which，as a result，are sure to affect the following process.So it is reasonable to conclude that（6）

  all successful careers involve at least a certain degree of luck.
     One's date of birth（7）

  ，for example.According to a study，most children born in the summer tend to be among the youngest members of their class，which explains why they are less likely to hold（8）

  positions during high school and thus.jye.ai likely to land good jobs later in life.
     To acknowledge the power of chance events is not to suggest that success is independent of（9）

  .Charlie Munger has said，"The safest way to get what you want is to（10）

  what you want."
     Of course，luck counts too.Being born in a good education system is a kind of luck we can control- that is，at least we can decide how lucky our children will be.But in America，we've been doing a bad job as the budget for education has（11）

• 4．A line of men tugged on ropes and dropped from the ship into the sea，with a group of Saibs prepared to pull them later from the sea bottom.Nasser，one of the drivers，climbed over the railing of the ship and his Saib emptied his basket full of shells onto the deck.
     "Get me something to fill my stomach with，boy." I knew he was teasing as he is my father's good friend.
     "But I'm no longer an errand boy.I'm a diver，like my father was."
     "Your father was bald and deaf，like the rest of us，" Nasser laughed.
     The salty Arabian Gulf produced the finest pearls in the world while the salty water also made divers lose their hair.Let alone the high pressure which cost them their hearing.I had shaved my head，in which way I felt more like a real diver.Of course，there's no need for me to worry about the hair problem.
     "I've dived the shallow seas before，and I can hold my breath for a whole minute."
     "Just pull your rope before you feel breathless." He then disappeared into the water again.
     I tied a heavy stone to my foot with a rope.Taking one more deep breath，I plugged my nose and jumped.With the stone finally hitting the seabed with a thump，I freed my foot from the rope.I scratched at the rocky ridge（脊），when three oysters dropped into my hands.I even didn't have enough time to feel surprised at how easy the job was before I felt breathless.
     Out of horror，I dragged the rope.Knowing that，far above，the Saib's strong arms strained to pull me toward the surface，I reminded myself to endure for a little more time.Just when I thought my lungs would burst，my ears popped and there was light.
     Nasser burst through the water.He removed his nose plug and grinned at me looking at the three pitiful shells on the deck. "Not bad for an errand boy." Seeing me upset with my head down，he patted me "It's your first for such a depth.You did better than all of us." Cheering up，I wrapped the empty basket around my neck and raised my chin，"I'm a pearl diver."
  
  （1）According to Nasser，what did an errand boy usually do？

  
  A．Pull divers from the sea.
  B．Empty baskets for divers.
  C．Serve snacks for divers.
  D．Dive for shells.
  （2）Why did the author have his hair cut？

  
  A．Because he tried to avoid losing hair.
  B．Because all divers had shaved hair.
  C．Because high pressure made him bald.
  D．Because he wanted to look professional.
  （3）Why did the author get little harvest？

  
  A．Because there were not many pearls in the area.
  B．Because he still lacked experience in the job.
  C．Because the Saib pulled him up too early without permission.
  D．Because the rocky ridge was too rough.
