Realizing the danger, Steven 4 jumped into the water and tried to help his kids. But the strong current made it difficult even for him. So he told Alex to swim to shore while he tried to rescue Mia.

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
A
In 2022, to preserve China’s wetlands, a law 11 (introduce) to restrict construction and prohibit harmful 12 (activity) such as overgrazing, overharvesting, and wastewater discharge in important national wetlands. Since the implementation (实施) of these measures, there 13 (be) an increase in the number of birds observed wintering in the nation’s wetlands. In February, the forestry bureau in Hunan province reported 72 species of waterbirds that spent the previous winter at Dongting Lake. Black-faced spoonbills, 14 rare and endangered species, were sighted at Dongting after a five-year absence.
B
A person’s memory is like a hall with many rooms, some visited frequently, others untouched 15 years. With age, sometimes, doors to certain memories become locked, requiring a special key 16 (access) them. These keys often come in the form of specific sensory inputs—something you see, smell, touch, taste, or hear. When a sensory input stimulates receptors, signals are sent along nerve cells to the brain, 17 they are processed and interpreted. The way our senses connect with our memories shows how complex our minds are. Knowing this helps us understand how our past affects how we see and act in the present.
C

The idea that aging reduces adults’ ability to imagine, a common theme in children’s literature, is contradicted by psychological research. While children are often portrayed as more imaginative, research indicates that adults not only keep this ability but sometimes surpass children in imaginative thinking.
Children are frequently celebrated for boundless imagination. Yet, research reveals that their make-believe games often center around realistic scenarios, such as cooking and cleaning, as demonstrated in a 2020 study published in Journal of Cognition and Development. Another study, lasting for four decades, also suggests that children are not naturally more imaginative than adults; their limitations result from a lack of knowledge and expertise to effectively use their imaginative capacity as adults.
Imagination may have evolved for considering alternatives to reality, but we use it most naturally to explore close alternatives, like preparing a different meal, rather than far alternatives, like riding on clouds. When we use imagination to envision far alternatives — to innovate or invent — we’re not digging into an inborn appreciation of the extraordinary; we’re using a tool designed to explore the ordinary. When considering alternatives to reality, we fix our attention on possibilities that are physically reasonable, statistically probable, socially conventional and morally permissible. When told about possibilities that violate such regularities, we usually deny they could happen. Generally speaking, our ideas about what could happen are firmly rooted in what we expect to happen.
This mindset is also particularly apparent in young children. In a 2018 study I co-designed with psychologist Jonathan Phillips, 4-year-olds were asked to help a distressed girl who disliked going to school due to missing her mother. Among all the solutions given, they perceived the only possible solution was for her mother to do something special after school to ease her concerns. Unexpected alternatives, such as snapping fingers and making it Saturday, wearing pajamas to school or lying about school being closed, were all regarded impossible. From this, we can conclude that children’s earliest intuitions (直觉力) about possibility confuse what could happen with what should happen.
Historically, the improbable event of traveling faster than a horse was considered impossible, as was traveling by air or traveling into space. Before the arrival of trains and planes, there were good reasons to think that people could travel only so far and only so fast. But these reasons were empirical (经验主义的), not logical. Imagination, on its own, lumps the improbable with the impossible, but we can combine imagination with other abilities — namely, knowledge and reflection — to separate the two. While imagination in children often subjects to expectation, adults can control their imaginative capacity for innovation by integrating it with accumulated knowledge and reflective thinking.
24.According to the first two paragraphs, we know that _________.
A.children develop imagination through games
B.children face limitations in acquiring knowledge
C.adults are as good as children in imaginative thinking
D.adults’ imaginative ability is likely to stay constant with age
25.We can infer from the passage that _________.
A.expectation results from imaginative capacity
B.certain practical concerns can limit imagination
C.breaking regularities may lead to close alternatives
D.far alternatives are more important than close alternatives
26.The 2018 study shows that children _________.
A.came up with a wide range of alternatives B.were quicker to figure out solutions
C.took what should happen as possibilities D.used imagination in a reasonable way
27.The underlined word “lumps” in the last paragraph probably means _________.
A.mix B.match C.compare D.replace
C
In the 2010s, 34-year-old Brianne Miller travelled around the world as a marine biologist. No matter how remote the location, she made the same alarming discovery: huge amounts of plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed to do something.
Canadians throw out three million tons of plastic waste each year, 33 percent of which comes from food packaging. Approximately one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste, too. Miller, determined to fix the problem, imagined a shop that went further than banning plastic bags — a place that avoided both wasteful packaging and the bad habit of wasting food itself.
In June 2018, Miller opened her first zero-waste grocery store in Canada. She named it Nada, and ensured everything was designed to make the zero-waste shopping experience easy. You can bring your own containers, though it’s not necessary: right by the front door are sanitized (消毒过的) glass or plastic containers, free for the taking.
Nada sells various food items, all 100 percent package-free. Miller is clear that the store doesn’t try to compete on price. For example, popcorn with paper package at a regular store may cost 70 cents per 100 grams; at Nada, a customer might pay $1 per 100 grams. Even so, zero-waste shopping can still come with savings. Take products that typically come packaged in large containers, like spaghetti sauce, a large part of the traditional cost would be in that glass jar.
Although the early days of the pandemic were tough on the business, Miller timely turned to online ordering and delivery, though in a very Nada way. Everything from olive oil to fresh eggs comes delivered in sanitized containers, which are collected with the next round of deliveries.
Those containers do so much more than just reduce waste. They get people thinking big, just as Miller hoped. “They’re tagged with Nada stickers, so you can see how many times the container has been used,” she says, and then smiles.
28.Brianne Miller was inspired to start her business by the fact that ______.
A.food packaging generated tons of waste B.plastic litters posed a threat to marine life
C.people formed the bad habit of wasting food D.lots of food produced worldwide went to waste
29.Which of the following can best describe Miller?
A.Brave and cautious. B.Caring and humorous.
C.Creative and determined. D.Optimistic and thoughtful.
30.What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?
A.Miller thinks her efforts worthwhile.
B.Miller stopped her business during the pandemic.
C.Nada suffered serious losses because of the pandemic.
D.Containers were recycled during the pandemic to save money.
D
When I was named CEO of a global company in 2006, I was determined to run the company so that it would both deliver good short-term performance and thrive in the long term, years after I was gone. It was already in good shape, but I dreamed of creating a defining corporation of the 21st century, proud of its root, yet global and responsible in the shifting times.
For months, I quietly read all I could about the big social trends influencing business. I walked the market, and examined employees’ feedback. I also dug deep into the obligations of public corporations. From all of this emerged a vision for the company that guided us for the next dozen years or so. I called it “Performance with Purpose”. The goal was to deliver great financial returns, as we always had, with three additional clear objects: to nourish humanity and the communities, to protect our environment and to cherish our people.
My motivation was wholly to “future proof”, or de-risk. And it worked. In my 12 years as CEO, total shareholder return was 149%, and net profit jumped 80%. We cut the salt, fat, and sugar in so da and chips, added more healthful brands and products, and lowered the amount of water needed. We kept innovation going and our design studios won many awards. Our talent academy was so brilliant that nine senior managers left to take CEO jobs elsewhere.
I believe that leaders must think from the future back, even when things are going fine. And we now have a framework to help: the evolving templates (模板) for environmental, social, and governance metrics (ESG衡量标准) that, in essence, serve to de-risk companies and markets. These criteria force discussion of hard truths for anyone with the ambition to stay relevant in the long term. If the metrics are carefully selected, ESG is not contrary to investors’ interests. Importantly, de-risking the company actually creates shareholder value.
“Performance with Purpose” presented tough moments for me, including when one investor questioned, “Who do you think you are? A philanthropist (慈善家)?” But skepticism faded when a collective mission took hold that included both the bottom line and much beyond. This was my hope from the start.
31.The author’s new vision for the company came from _________.
A.its unique cultural root B.her thorough research
C.customers’ fundamental needs D.shareholders’ strong requirements
32.According to “Performance with Purpose”, an ideal company should _________.
A.shift its strategies properly B.value employees’ feedback
C.shoulder social responsibility D.prioritize financial returns
33.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The risks a company may face. B.The author’s ambition to create value.
C.The interests investors seek after. D.The author’s recipe for successful business.
34.As CEO, the author can be best described as _________.
A.inspiring and warm-hearted B.determined and far-sighted
C.ambitious and generous D.modest and strategic

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有项为多余选项。
Studies about sleep and employee behavior typically focus on various activities that occur within the body during sleep, and their impact on daytime cognition. New research adopts a different method. 35
The researchers conducted three studies involving thousands of dreams recalled by employees. The first study asked participants upon awakening to rate the degree of awe (敬畏) and wonder brought by their dreams and to write down their biggest work problem. 36 Another one they answered was whether they envisioned anything good arising from the difficult work situation—a measure of resilience, which meant the ability to become strong and happy again after toughness. Those who found positive meaning in dreams reported higher levels of awe. 37
In the second study, participants who recalled a dream likewise reported its positive or negative meaning, and then wrote descriptions of the dream and what they took to be its causes and meaning. After work they answered questions about their resilience and progress on the day’s tasks. 38 The third study tracked similar measures among employees who participated daily for two weeks, and it looked at how naturally curious each person was. It found similar results about awe and showed that it raised resilience and productivity far more in the naturally curious.
39 Awe can help people deal more effectively with challenges and progress toward goals. “Our research reveals how awe can be brought about at a time that has a critical impact on daily work outcomes,” the researchers write. “Employees could use dream journals and simple practices to ‘guide’ their nighttime visions, thus increasing their odds of having meaningful, awe-inspiring dreams.”
A.A positive dream brings a sense of sudden insight, giving rise to awe.
B.The increased awe was also proved to be associated with greater resilience.
C.In fact, dreaming may help improve problem-solving skills in daily routine.
D.Here, too, good dreams boosted awe and resilience, fueling progress on work goals.
E.Researchers acknowledge that dreams may involve content related to waking experiences.
F.It finds that remembering a good dream can help people make progress in the day’s tasks.
G.They then answered the question about whether they thought the dream was positive or negative.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,共32分)
第一节 阅读表达(共4小题,第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed the accountant exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test weeks earlier, and needed the certificate to advance her own career. “My inner child got upset,” recalls George. But then, she called her friend. “I told her I failed and admitted I was envious,” she says. Being frank shifted her attitude, and she was surprised to realize she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in tum. “I congratulated my friend and told her she inspired me,” George says.
This is what scientists called freudenfreude, meaning finding pleasure in another person’s success, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. Freudenfreude is like social glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. It makes relationships “close and more enjoyable.” A study in 2021 examined freudenfreude’s role in daily life and found that it could improve life satisfaction and even help people co-operate during a conflict.
While the benefits of freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, Chambliss says, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. Besides, mental health can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Negative emotions like anger or dislike may lead to the opposite of freudenfreude.
Luckily, the ability of freudenfreude can be exercised. To help people strengthen joy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and his colleagues developed a programme called Freudenfreude Enhancement Training practices. They found that depressed students who used the practices for two weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which enhanced their relationships and improved their moods. Given that, having freudenfreude is beneficial and it is worthwhile to explore ways to encourage the feeling.
40.According to scientists, what is freudenfreude?
41.What impact does freudenfreude have on daily life?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily, and it is affected by your family environment and physical health.
43.Besides George’s experience mentioned in the passage, please describe one of your experiences of freudenfreude. (In about 40 words)

24.D 25.B 26.C 27.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇短文主要指出心理学研究反驳了老年人想象力下降的观点,实际上成年人在某些方面可能比儿童更有想象力。研究表明,儿童的想象游戏通常围绕现实场景,并非天生比成人更具想象力,而是受限于知识和经验。人们倾向于用想象力探索与现实相近的可能性,而非遥远的不切实际的事物。研究还显示,儿童对可能性的理解容易与期望混淆。最后,文章强调成人可以通过结合知识和反思来控制想象力,从而进行创新。
24.推理判断题。由第一段中“While children are often portrayed as more imaginative, research indicates that adults not only keep this ability but sometimes surpass children in imaginative thinking. (虽然儿童通常被描绘成更有想象力,但研究表明,成年人不仅保持了这种能力,而且有时在想象力思维方面超过了儿童)”和第二段中“Another study, lasting for four decades, also suggests that children are not naturally more imaginative than adults (另一项持续四十年的研究也表明,儿童天生并不比成年人更有想象力)”可知,儿童天生并不比成年人更有想象力,人成年后也更有想象力,成年人不仅保持了这种能力,而且有时在想象力思维方面超过了儿童,可得出成年人的想象力可能会随着年龄的增长而保持不变。故选D项。
25.推理判断题。由第三段中“When we use imagination to envision far alternatives — to innovate or invent — we’re not digging into an inborn appreciation of the extraordinary; we’re using a tool designed to explore the ordinary. When considering alternatives to reality, we fix our attention on possibilities that are physically reasonable, statistically probable, socially conventional and morally permissible. When told about possibilities that violate such regularities, we usually deny they could happen. Generally speaking, our ideas about what could happen are firmly rooted in what we expect to happen. (当我们用想象力来设想创新或发明的遥远替代方案时,我们并不是在挖掘与生俱来的非凡鉴赏力;我们正在使用一种旨在探索普通事物的工具。在考虑现实的替代方案时,我们将注意力集中在物理上合理、统计上可能、社会传统和道德上允许的可能性上。当被告知违反这种规律的可能性时,我们通常否认它们可能发生。一般来说,我们对可能发生的事情的想法深深植根于我们所期望的事情)”可得出,某些实际问题会限制想象力。故选B项。
26.细节理解题。由第四段中“From this, we can conclude that children’s earliest intuitions (直觉力) about possibility confuse what could happen with what should happen. (由此,我们可以得出结论,孩子们最早对可能性的直觉混淆了可能发生的事情和应该发生的事情)”可知,2018年的研究表明,儿童把应该发生的事情视为可能。故选C项。
27.词句猜测题。由最后一段中“But these reasons were empirical (经验主义的), not logical. Imagination, on its own, lumps the improbable with the impossible, but we can combine imagination with other abilities — namely, knowledge and reflection — to separate the two. (但这些原因都是经验的,而非逻辑的。想象力本身就lumps不大可能(还有机会实现)和大不可能(绝无可能实现),但我们可以把想象力与其他能力——即知识和反思——结合起来,把两者分开)”可知,but后讲人们可以通过将想象力与其他能力,即知识和反思相结合,将不大可能(还有机会实现)和大不可能(绝无可能实现)分开,说明想象力本身会将不大可能(还有机会实现)和大不可能(绝无可能实现)混为一谈,划线词lumps意为“混合”。故选A项。
28.B 29.C 30.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Miller通过开设了零废物杂货店,提供消毒玻璃杯或塑料容器来装食物。她通过这样的方式来告诉人们:没有包装就没有废品。
28.细节理解题。 根据第一段中“No matter how remote the location, she made the same alarming discovery: huge amounts of plastic littering the water and threatening marine life. Miller knew she needed to do something.(无论地点有多偏远,她都有同样令人震惊的发现:大量的塑料垃圾乱扔在水中,威胁着海洋生物。Miller知道她需要做点什么。)”和第二段“Canadians throw out three million tons of plastic waste each year, 33 percent of which comes from food packaging. Approximately one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste, too. Miller, determined to fix the problem, imagined a shop that went further than banning plastic bags — a place that avoided both wasteful packaging and the bad habit of wasting food itself.(加拿大人每年扔掉300万吨塑料垃圾,其中33%来自食品包装。全世界大约有三分之一的食物被浪费掉了。米勒决心解决这个问题,他想象了一家比禁止塑料袋更进一步的商店——一个既避免了浪费包装又避免了浪费食物本身的坏习惯的地方。)”可知,Brianne Miller的创业想法来自于塑料垃圾对海洋生物构成威胁。故选B。
29.推理判断题。 根据第三段中“In June 2018, Miller opened her first zero-waste grocery store in Canada. She named it Nada, and ensured everything was designed to make the zero-waste shopping experience easy.(2018年6月,米勒在加拿大开设了她的第一家零废物杂货店。她将其命名为Nada,并确保一切都是为了让零浪费的购物体验变得容易。)”和第四段中“Nada sells various food items, all 100 percent package-free.(Nada出售各种食品,都是100%无包装的。)”可知,Miller开设了零废物杂货店,说明她富有创造力;根据第二段中“Miller, determined to fix the problem(Miller,下定决心解决这个问题……)”和倒数第二段中“Although the early days of the pandemic were tough on the business, Miller timely turned to online ordering and delivery, though in a very Nada way.(尽管疫情初期的生意很艰难,但Miller及时转向了在线订购和送货,尽管是以一种非常简单的方式。)”可知,Miller认准了目标,就会下定决心去实现它,说明她有决心。因此可用creative和determined来描述Miller。故选C。
30.推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“Those containers do so much more than just reduce waste. They get people thinking big, just as Miller hoped. “They’re tagged with Nada stickers, so you can see how many times the container has been used,” she says, and then smiles.(这些容器所做的不仅仅是减少浪费。正如Miller所希望的那样,它们让人们胸怀大志。“它们都贴上了Nada贴纸,所以你可以看到这个容器被使用了多少次,”她说,然后笑了。)”可推知,Miller的努力不仅减少了浪费,而且让人们认识到环保的重要性,她认为她的努力是值得的。故选A。
31.B 32.C 33.D 34.B
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,作者于2006年成为一家全球公司的CEO时,决心让公司在短期内取得佳绩,并在作者离开后依然长期繁荣。作者提出“绩效与目的”的愿景,旨在实现财务成功的同时,关注社会责任、环境保护和员工发展。
31.推理判断题。由文章第二段“For months, I quietly read all I could about the big social trends influencing business. I walked the market, and examined employees’ feedback. I also dug deep into the obligations of public corporations. From all of this emerged a vision for the company that guided us for the next dozen years or so. I called it “Performance with Purpose”. The goal was to deliver great financial returns, as we always had, with three additional clear objects: to nourish humanity and the communities, to protect our environment and to cherish our people. (几个月来,我静静地阅读了所有影响商业的重大社会趋势。我在市场里走了一圈,查看了员工的反馈。我还深入研究了公共企业的义务。从这一切中,我们看到了公司未来十几年的发展方向。我称之为“有目的的表现”。我们的目标是提供巨大的经济回报,就像我们一直做的那样,同时还有三个明确的目标:滋养人类和社区,保护我们的环境,珍惜我们的人民。)”可知,作者进行了大量的研究工作,包括阅读有关影响商业的重大社会趋势的资料、考察市场以及深入研究公共公司的义务,基于这些研究形成了新的公司愿景。故选B项。
32.推理判断题。由文章第二段“I called it “Performance with Purpose”. The goal was to deliver great financial returns, as we always had, with three additional clear objects: to nourish humanity and the communities, to protect our environment and to cherish our people. (我称之为“有目的的表现”。我们的目标是提供巨大的经济回报,就像我们一直做的那样,同时还有三个明确的目标:滋养人类和社区,保护我们的环境,珍惜我们的人民。)”可知,一个理想的公司应该承担社会责任。故选C项。
33.主旨大意题。由文章第四段“I believe that leaders must think from the future back, even when things are going fine. And we now have a framework to help: the evolving templates (模板) for environmental, social, and governance metrics (ESG衡量标准) that, in essence, serve to de-risk companies and markets. These criteria force discussion of hard truths for anyone with the ambition to stay relevant in the long term. If the metrics are carefully selected, ESG is not contrary to investors’ interests. Importantly, de-risking the company actually creates shareholder value. (我认为,领导者必须从未来的角度考虑问题,即使事情进展顺利。我们现在有了一个可以提供帮助的框架:不断发展的环境、社会和治理指标模板(ESG衡量标准),从本质上讲,这些模板有助于企业和市场降低风险。这些标准迫使任何有志于长期保持相关性的人讨论残酷的事实。如果这些指标经过精心挑选,ESG并不会违背投资者的利益。重要的是,降低公司风险实际上创造了股东价值。)”可知,第四段主要讲述了作者如何通过ESG衡量标准来为公司“去风险”,这是作者成功经商的秘诀。故选D项。
34.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“When I was named CEO of a global company in 2006, I was determined to run the company so that it would both deliver good short-term performance and thrive in the long term, years after I was gone. It was already in good shape, but I dreamed of creating a defining corporation of the 21st century, proud of its root, yet global and responsible in the shifting times. (2006年,当我被任命为一家跨国公司的首席执行官时,我决心管理这家公司,让它在我离开多年后,既能提供良好的短期业绩,又能保持长期繁荣。它已经处于良好的状态,但我梦想着创建一个21世纪的标志性公司,为自己的根源感到自豪,同时在不断变化的时代具有全球性和责任感。)”可知,作者作为CEO,不仅决心要让公司在短期内表现良好,还致力于长期发展,提出了前瞻性的“Performance with Purpose”愿景,并成功实施,使公司在经济、社会和环境等多方面取得显著成效。这表明作者既坚定又具有远见卓识。故选B项。
35.F 36.G 37.B 38.D 39.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现,记住一个好梦可以帮助人们在一天的工作中取得进展,解释了研究开展的经过和发现。
35.根据上文“Studies about sleep and employee behavior typically focus on various activities that occur within the body during sleep, and their impact on daytime cognition. New research adopts a different method.(关于睡眠和员工行为的研究通常集中在睡眠期间身体内发生的各种活动,以及它们对白天认知的影响。新的研究采用了不同的方法)”可知,本句为过渡句,呈上说明新的研究的不同之处,同时启示后文研究的具体发现。故F选项“研究发现,记住一个好梦可以帮助人们在一天的工作中取得进展”符合语境,故选F。
36.根据上文“The researchers conducted three studies involving thousands of dreams recalled by employees. The first study asked participants upon awakening to rate the degree of awe (敬畏) and wonder brought by their dreams and to write down their biggest work problem.(研究人员进行了三项研究,涉及数千名员工回忆的梦境。第一项研究要求参与者在醒来时对梦境带来的敬畏和惊奇程度进行评分,并写下他们最大的工作问题)”可知,上文提到要求写下最大的工作问题,以及对梦境进行评分,可推测本句继续说明研究的进展,G选项中They 指代上文employees。故G选项“然后他们回答了关于他们认为这个梦是积极的还是消极的问题”符合语境,故选G。
37.根据上文“Another one they answered was whether they envisioned anything good arising from the difficult work situation—a measure of resilience, which meant the ability to become strong and happy again after toughness. Those who found positive meaning in dreams reported higher levels of awe.(他们回答的另一个问题是,他们是否设想从困难的工作环境中产生任何好处——这是一种衡量韧性的方法,它意味着在经历磨难后再次变得强大和快乐的能力。那些在梦中发现积极意义的人报告了更高程度的敬畏)”可知,上文提到“在梦中发现积极意义的人报告了更高程度的敬畏”,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文,说明增强的敬畏感的作用。故B选项“增强的敬畏感也被证明与更强的适应力有关”符合语境,故选B。
38.根据上文“In the second study, participants who recalled a dream likewise reported its positive or negative meaning, and then wrote descriptions of the dream and what they took to be its causes and meaning. After work they answered questions about their resilience and progress on the day’s tasks.(在第二项研究中,回忆梦境的参与者同样报告了梦境的积极或消极意义,然后写下对梦境的描述,以及他们认为梦境的原因和意义。下班后,他们回答了关于他们的适应能力和完成一天任务的进度的问题)”以及后文“The third study tracked similar measures among employees who participated daily for two weeks, and it looked at how naturally curious each person was. It found similar results about awe and showed that it raised resilience and productivity far more in the naturally curious.(第三项研究对每天参与的员工进行了为期两周的跟踪调查,观察每个人天生的好奇心有多强。研究发现,敬畏也有类似的结果,并表明,在天生好奇的人身上,敬畏更能提高适应力和生产力)”可知,上文提到回答关于适应能力和完成一天任务的进度的问题,且后文提到了第三项研究有相似的结果,指出在天生好奇的人身上,敬畏更能提高适应力和生产力,推测本句与做梦与增强个人能力相关,故D选项“在这里,好梦也能增强敬畏和韧性,促进工作目标的实现”符合语境,故选D。
39.根据后文“Awe can help people deal more effectively with challenges and progress toward goals. “Our research reveals how awe can be brought about at a time that has a critical impact on daily work outcomes,” the researchers write. “Employees could use dream journals and simple practices to ‘guide’ their nighttime visions, thus increasing their odds of having meaningful, awe-inspiring dreams.”(敬畏可以帮助人们更有效地应对挑战,朝着目标前进。研究人员写道:“我们的研究揭示了敬畏是如何在对日常工作结果产生关键影响的时候产生的。员工可以用梦境日记和简单的练习来‘引导’他们的夜间梦境,从而增加他们做有意义的、令人敬畏的梦的几率。”)”可知,后文解释了敬畏的作用,以及建议练习梦境,本句为本段首句,主要引出产生敬畏的来源是积极的梦境。故A选项“一个积极的梦带来一种突然的洞察力,产生敬畏”符合语境,故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述庆祝别人的胜利会给自己带来好处,这种行为也被称为“freudenfreude”。文章解释了freudenfreude的好处以及影响。
40.考查细节理解。根据第二段“This is what scientists called freudenfreude, meaning finding pleasure in another person’s success, even if it doesn’t directly involve us.(这就是科学家们所说的“freudenfreude”,意思是在别人的成功中找到快乐,即使这与我们没有直接关系)”可知,Freudenfreude是指从别人的成功中寻找快乐,即使这并不直接涉及到我们自己。故答案为Freudenfreude is finding pleasure in another person’s success, even if it doesn’t directly involve us.

42.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“Besides, mental health can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy.(此外,心理健康也会影响你参与他人快乐的能力)”可知,错误部分为“physical health”,心理健康会影响你参与他人快乐的能力。故答案为Freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily, and it is affected by your family environment and physical health. Mental well-being can affect your ability to participate in the joy of others.
43.考查开放题。根据“除了文章中提到的乔治的经历,请描述一个你的freudenfreude的经历”可回答:1)去年,在接力赛中,我的队伍被我朋友的队伍打败了,一开始我有点嫉妒。然而,看到他脸上兴奋的表情,我也和他一起庆祝。当我们一起庆祝时,我们意识到分享快乐的力量。
2)当我的朋友被她梦寐以求的学校录取时,我感到freudenfreude。虽然我还在为期末考试而挣扎,不知道我的未来会怎样,但我还是对她的成功表示了诚挚的祝贺。这加强了我们之间的联系,促进了相互支持和鼓励。
故答案为1) Last year, in the relay race, my team was defeated by my friend’s team I felt a little envious at first. However, seeing excitement on his face, I related to him and joined in the celebration. As we celebrated together, we were reminded of the power of sharing joy.
