2．Two decades earlier，I had left my postdoctoral research when my husband landed a tenure-track（終身職位的）job at a small liberal arts college in a different state.A few years after our move，I was thrilled when an opportunity arose for me to teach at the college.However，I felt bad when students in my classes asked whether they could join my research lab and I had to tell them no---I didn't do research anymore.Maybe it was time to explore whether that was possible.
I had always claimed I didn't have a research program because I wasn't a tenure-track professor，but was that really the barrier？Was it just easier to blame my status than to try to get a lab up and running？Was fear of failure holding me back？
Over the following months，the risks of not starting up research-boredom，depression，regret-began to outweigh the risk of trying and failing.I decided to give it a go.
When I reached out to the chair of the department，he said he would support my plan as long as I was guiding students.Colleagues offered to share equipment，expertise，and space.I had enough money in a college-provided development fund to buy a few reagents（試劑）.As for a research question，while teaching in the introductory lab I had learned that the cost of using worm Lumbriculus was inexpensive，and that it offered plenty of interesting avenues for investigation.I was ready to go.
In June of 2019，I nervously started to guide my first group of research students.I worried that my skills would be rusty or，worse，out-of-date.Indeed，some bread-and-butter techniques from my past were no longer relevant.But I found that the key process of scientific inquiry-asking questions，designing experiments，interpreting data-hadn't changed.And my trouble tuning（微調(diào)），we had an interpretable blot---reason for a minor celebration.By the end of the summer，we hat generated enough data to put together a poster to present at a conference in January.I left that meeting feeling optimistic and energized about the future，wondering why I had waited so long to return to research.
（1）What did the author decide to do after teaching at the college？
A．Manage to get a tenure-track job.
B．Show her great ability in teaching.
C．Think about starting a research lab.
D．Develop her students' ability in scientific re-search.
（2）How did the author's colleagues react to her decision？
A．They doubted her ability
B．They showed no interest in it.
C．They thought it was impractical.
D．They gave her a lot of support.
（3）What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph？
A．Her research program went very well.
B．She spent much time regaining her skills.
C．She was quite confident from the beginning.
D．Her students had difficulty collecting enough data.
（4）What lesson can we learn from the author's experience？
A．We should be creative and dream big.
B．Being hesitant can be a great barrier to success.
C．We should never let lack of support hold us back.
D．Being around talented people can help us succeed.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5
二、II.七選五

5．For most people，life has become a burden on their shoulders，and its weight is growing heavier and heavier，until one day they can't carry it anymore.So how can we design a life that is less complex and more meaningful？With minimalism（極簡(jiǎn)主義）.（1）
The following ways will assist you in your journey to living a simpler yet fuller life.
（2）Most people's living space is filled with things that are never used and don't contribute to their well-being.Separate the ones you do need from the ones you don't，and throw the latter right into the dustbin---or better，give them away to people who might actually benefit from them.
Appreciate all the amazing things you already have.We constantly compare ourselves to others who seem happier，more beautiful and more important than us.We try our best to imitate（效仿）those we envy.（3）We need to stop comparing and accept ourselves for who we are，with all our imperfections.Take a moment to appreciate what you have.
Do one thing at a time.Minimalist living actually means making the most out of each and every moment.We're usually carrying out different tasks at the same time.So whatever we are doing，our mind is partly wondering somewhere else.（4）Develop mindfulness.（5）Thus you need to develop mindfulness.Mindfulness means fully attending to what's happening in the present.There are many ways one can do so.Perhaps the most common way is to sit for about 30 minutes somewhere comfortably with your upper back straight and pay full attention to your breath as it's coming in and out through your nose.In this way，you won't be distracted（使分心）by your thoughts.
A.It is about enjoying life more with less.
B.Stop consuming products you don't need.
C.Yet no matter how much we try，we always fail.
D.Get rid of things that don't serve your happiness.
E.Minimalist living requires a calm and undisturbed mind.
F.Stop multitasking and concentrate on a single thing at a time.
G.Unfortunately，our minds are filled with worries in our busy lives.組卷：1引用：4難度：0.5
