[2021·河南省高考适应性测试]An amazing occurrence happened in South Africa when 31 elephants made a journey to pay their respect to their hero who had saved their lives and many other animals. Lawrence Anthony, a legend (传奇人物) in South  Africa and author of three books including the bestseller The Elephant Whisperer, bravely rescued elephants and other wildlife all over the globe, including the courageous rescue of Baghdad Zoo animals in 2003. On March 7, 2012, Lawrence Anthony died.
Two days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up at his home led by two old female elephants. Separate wild groups arrived to say goodbye to their beloved man­friend. A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles to reach his South African house. Witnessing this sight, humans were obviously in awe (敬畏) not only because of the precise timing that these elephants sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also because of the deep memory and emotion the beloved animals showed in such an organized way.
Walking slowly — for days — they made their way in a one­by­one queue from their home in the wild bush to his house. Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched, knowing that the elephants had not been to his house prior to (在前面的) that day for well over three years! They knew where they were going and they seemed to know why they were going to Lawrence's home. The elephants obviously wanted to pay their deep respect, honoring their human friend who had saved their lives — so much respect that they stayed for two days and two nights without eating anything.
After honoring Lawrence Anthony in the only way they could, then one morning, they left, making their long journey back home.

[2021·太原市高三期末]I was invited to give a speech at a conference on education. I happened to sit next to Clay Parker, the CEO of a technology company that makes micro electronics devices.
For the last few years, I'd been reading about the rapidly changing world of work and was increasingly concerned that students are not prepared for today's workplace. Buried in book knowledge, university students talk like a book and always pass exams with flying colours. However, when facing HR staff instead of their teachers, what they have learned
seems useless. So I asked Parker what qualities he most wanted in a potential new employee. I expected a list of technical skills — especially since Parker is an engineer himself — but I was way off__the__mark．
“First, I look for someone who asks good questions，” Parker responded. “Our business is changing, and so are the skills of our engineers. We can teach them the technical stuff. But for employees willing to solve problems or to learn new things, they have to know what questions to ask. And we can't teach them how to ask good questions — how to think. The ability to ask the right questions reflects good thinking ability, the most important quality.”
Indeed, the ability to ask good questions has been a repeated theme in almost all of my conversations about core competences and skills for success in today's workplace. It turns out that asking good questions goes hand in hand with the problem solving ability in the minds of most employers.
The students have always been brought up to live up to a certain standard and so much e
mphasis has been put on fixed rules and giving the expected answer of their teachers instead of raising a question. We teachers are always blaming the students for giving wrong answers. Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether we are always asking the right questions.
5．Why did the author ask Parker the question?
A．To bring the CEO's attention to education.
B．To collect information about his company.
C．To ask for his opinion about the conference.
D．To know his requirements for new employees.
6．What does the underlined words “off the mark” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Mistaken.    B．Not qualified.
C．Confused.    D．Not professional.
7．What does Parker value his employees for?
A．Teamwork.            B．Thinking ability.
C．Technical skills.        D．Professional knowledge.
8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.How to Hunt for a Job
B．Asking Questions Matters
C．An Encounter with a CEO
D．Problem­solving Makes a Difference

[2021·绵阳市第二次诊断]Going through social media can quickly convince you that everyone's life is more interesting than yours. During a particularly adventurous week on
social media some months ago, I saw water skiing in Maui, and swimming with wild pigs in the Bahamas. Wild pigs! I started searching flights to new places online, imagining adventures. Then I ordered food from the place I eat at every felt bad about not trying somewhere new.
