　　With her pretty face and soulful voice, Zhang Bichen was instantly thought a possible champion when she first set foot on the stage of the TV show The Voice of China.

　　On Oct 7, 2024, the 25 - year - old girl won the fierce competition and received the title of the “Voice of the Year”. Zhang’s dream of being a singer star came true at last. What impressed people was not only Zhang’s singing skills, but her willingness to make an effort. “I gained the opportunity to sing on The Voice of China,” she said.

　　In fact, being a singer has always been her dream. She wanted to apply to a college for singing, but her parents insisted that she should have a stable job after graduation because she did very well at academic studies. So Zhang gave in to her parents and learned French at university. However, in the first year of her college, she was discovered by a South Korean company when she entered a singing competition. To pursue her dream, Zhang signed a contract with the company, started her career in South Korea, and became a member of a band.

　　“My company had rules that did not allow us to use cell phones. During the first few months after I arrived in South Korea, a totally unfamiliar country, I felt terribly homesick. But I could only phone my parents in the restroom when nobody noticed.” said Zhang. “When I did not have much income, I had to eat instant noodles every day for months.”

　　It was her positive attitude and outgoing character that helped her through. “When I feel down, I tell myself it is not winning or losing that matters. The most important things are standing on the stage and singing for people.” she said.

　　When my wife Mia and I were recent college graduates, she soon got into a law school. She should've been excited, but she wasn't. She wanted to work in cooking. She was a great cook but had no professional or educational experience that would help her find a job in cooking. Like a responsible adult, she planned to go to the law school because that was what she thought she was supposed to do. Like an irresponsible adult, I convinced her to pursue her passion instead.

　　Although the type of job Mia wanted was low-paying, it would've been extremely difficult to find a restaurant willing to take her on with no experience. Yet, shortly after she began her search, she became an apprentice (學徒) at Le Bec Fin, which was considered one of the best restaurants in the country.

　　How did this happen? Mia shared her goals with everyone she met. It turned out that her grandfather's neighbor had a cousin who cooked for the White House. A conversation with her grandfather led to a conversation with his neighbor, which led to a conversation with his cousin. Finally, the White House chef knew someone at a restaurant in Philadelphia, and that led to Mia's apprenticeship.

　　There is one essential way to get people to help you achieve your goals. Whether your goal is huge or small, most people want to help you. What you have to do is share your goals. If you're not comfortable asking for help, you can mention what you're trying to do and wait for people to

　　raise their hands. They will.

　　And tell everyone. Keep in mind that most of your friends know the same people you know. So it's important to share your goals with strangers you meet. This approach has been helpful to me numerous times.

　　When you're having conversations, and someone asks what's going on, let them know what you're trying to accomplish. Most people will want to help you, and you never know who can help you achieve your goals.

　　41. From the first paragraph we know that _____.

　　A. Mia was interested in law

　　D. Try your best to draw up a plan.

　　44. According to the passage, the author always shares his goals with _________.

　　A mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive, but then Ron Howard isn’t among most directors, despite an impressive list of credits, a Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date, combining psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining.

　　The Oscar winning Russel Crowe has put himself in line for further honors with his acting John Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia(神經分裂癥). A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero, not just because of his academic achievements, but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness.

　　In 1947, Nash was one of many great young minds at Princeton. “To find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself.” The proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socializing. His shyness and straightforward approach brought him few friends.

　　After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea, Nash’s career took off and his reputation was secured. He balanced research work with teaching, which is where he met the bright and beautiful student Alicia (Jennifer Connelly). Things in his life were going well when his talent for code breaking brought him to the attention of the military who employed him during the early stages of the cold war with Russia. However, the stress of his work made Nash’s illness develop.

　　Crowe’s performance is perfect. He and Connelly ignite (make something exciting) the film’s passionate love story and Connelly’s wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Alicia, whose courage, strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery.

　　47. The passage is most probably _____.

　　A. a book review

　　B. a movie review

　　C. a movie poster

　　D. an advertisement

　　48. Which can replace the underlined phrase “hit on” in the fourth paragraph?

　　A. put up with

　　B. come on

　　C. put on

　　D. come up with

　　49. Which of the following statements is not true?

　　A. John Nash did not go mad totally.

　　B. Ron Howard is an outstanding director.

　　C. The stress of the academic work caused Nash’s illness.

　　D. Nash didn’t have many friends.

　　50. We can infer form the text that _____.

　　A. without Alicia, John Nash would not have recovered from schizophrenia.

　　B. John Nash gave up his career when troubled by schizophrenia.

　　C. Russell Crowe won another Oscar Award after this movie.

　　D. John Nash volunteered to serve in the army.

　　2024高考英語湖北省襄陽市統考試題】B

　　It is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited （有人居住的）settlement in the world with the average temperature for January standing at -50．Known as the 'Pole of Cold', the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was -71．2．This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere．Surprisingly, Oymyakon actually means 'non-freezing water' due to a nearby hot spring．

　　Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horse meat． A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fisherman． Doctors say the reason the locals don't suffer from malnutrition（營養失調）is that their animals' milk contains a lot of micronutrients．

　　Unsurprisingly, locals are accustomed to the weather and unlike in other countries-where heavy snow brings everything grinding to a halt, Oymyakon's school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52．

　　There are few modern conveniences in the village-with many buildings still having outdoor toilets-and most people still burn coal and wood for heat．When coal deliveries are irregular, the power station starts burning wood．If the power stops, the town shuts down in about five hours, andthe pipes freeze and crack．

　　Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power．Locals are said to！cave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them．Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves would not work in such cold conditions．

　　Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take

　　anything up to three days． The earth must first have melted sufficiently in order to dig it, so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours． Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole, several inches deep, is dug． The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin．

　　55． What can be implied from the first paragraph？

　　A． The village is the coldest place in the world．

　　B． No residents live permanently in the village．

　　C． Villagers there have to live with severe cold．

　　D． The average temperature stands at -50 all year round．

　　56． What does the underlined phrase "grinding to a halt" probably mean in this passage？

　　A． stopping

　　B． growing

　　C． continuing

　　D． failing

　　57． Which of the following statements about this village is true？
