Detecting AF typically involves an electrocardiogram (ECG),performed in a hospital where trained staff attach up to 24 electrodes to different parts of the body.However,since AF often occurs intermittently ()a short hospital check-up may not detect it.To counter this,doctors sometimes provide patient s with a Holter monitor,a device wor under clothing that records heart activity.However,it's bulky,inconvenient,and requires multiple wires to be attached to the chest,making it uncomfortable for daily wear. The Cardioskin T-shirt offers a more practical alternative.Made from cotton and washable up to 35 times,it has 15 small electrodes woven into the chest area to monitor heart signals continuously.The T-shirt can be worn 24 hours a day,increasing the likelihood of detecting abnormal rhythms.Powered by a removable battery,the electrodes feed data to a microchip,which wirelessly transmits the information to an app.The app converts the data into an easy-to-read chart,highlighting any irregular heart activity. The results are then shared with the patient's doctor,allowing for remote monitoring without requiring hospital visits.This innovative design could make diagnosing AF easier and more accessible,potentially reducing the risk of stroke for many. Professor Martin Cowie,a cardiologist at Imperial College London,views Cardioskin as an significant development in heart health monitoring,offering a comfortable and efficient tool for early detection of cardiac problems. 24.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A.The difficulty in detecting atrial fibrillation B.The benefit of wearing a Holter monitor. C.The process of recording heart activity. D.The future of developing a new ECG. 25.Why did the author mention a Holter monitor in the text? A.To introduce a way to check the patient's heart. B.To explain why doctors like using the device. C.To show the advantage of a Cardiosk in T-shirt over it. D.To encourage people to care about their health. 26.What can we learn about the Cardiosk in T-shirt? A.It has electrodes placed all over the T-shirt. B.It can be worn a month without being washed C.It has a battery that can be charged easily and quickly D.It can make the process of diagnosis timely and convenient. 27.What could be the best title for the passage? A.New ECC:an important development for doctors B.Hi-tech T-shirt:a good helper for detecting strokes C.Holter monitor:a device tracking patients'heart problems D.Cardiosk in T-shirt:a shirt keeping patients from diseases It has been five years since I left my staff job and became self-employed.I remember my terror as I walked out of the office for the last time and the excitement when I sold my first piece days later.Working for yourself, setting your own hours and being responsible for your success or failure are exciting.I left my job just as summer was starting,and my first few months were as blissful as the fair days. When winter came,an office where someone else paid for the central heating and my salary was guaranteed CS扫描全能王 3亿人幕在用的扫描Ap时 seemed attractive..January is tough for freelancers(自由职业者)，and it was no different for me--after masses of work,I eamed none.I shared my fears with some businesswomen I knew-what if the reality would be more like what I was experiencing? Whether through choice or circumstance,the number of freelancers is rising and,if you're just starting out,it is sry.I've been luky that these women making money their own way shared key lessons about what it takes. You can't feel half-hearted about what you do because,at some point,you're going to have painful days. When that happens,you have to remember why you wanted this life in the first place.Don't quit your job for something that you think might be more interesting,quit it for something you can't stop thinking about. Setting up a business is tough.Rather than waiting until all is perfect,go for the moment when it feels as if momentum (is with you.Look after yourself.There is no sick pay when you are self-employed.You can't do a bad day's work and blame it on your boss.You are the backbone of your business and you need to prioritize your health and well-being.Rest regularly and find like-minded people to support you and lift you up when things get hard. Finally,enjoy it.Freedom is yours and,if you can make it work,there is nothing better. 28.What does the underlined word"blissful"in paragraph 1 mean? A.Pleasant. B.challenging. C.Awful. D.Boring. 29.What bothered the author when winter came? A.The cold weather influenced her working performance. B.She eventually realized freelancing wasn't to her taste. C.Masses of freelancing work brought her much anxiety. D.She couldn't even earn enough to meet daily basics. 30.According to the author,why should we quit for a new job? A.To escape from the current pain. B.To satisfy our temporary interests. C.To explore where our strength lies. D.To pursue what we really desire. 31.What's author's probable attitude towards becoming freelancers? A.Critical. B.Favorable. C.Cautious. D.Unclear. D Many philosophers and psychologists have argued that empathy ()is a natural characteristic,hard-wired into our genes and brains.The reasoning goes that each of us has a "level"of empathy and-like our adult height- we're stuck there for life.This is all well and good if you're already empathetic,but also means that if you struggle with empathy,you'll never improve no matter how hard you try. Thankfully,this view is incomplete.Through the right practices,such as diverse friendships and even fiction reading,we can grow our empathy on purpose.Empathy is something like a muscle:left unused,it weakens;put to work,it grows. No emotion is always useful,and that goes for empathy as well.This is especially true for nurses,doctors and other caregivers.These individuals are driven to their work by a deep desire to help others.Patients of empathetic doctors are more satisfied with their care.However,when healthcare professionals care too much,they are at high risk of burnout,tiredness and depression from over-empathizing with others'suffering. Some psychologists,including myself,are now exploring how people in these professions might empathize in more sustainable ways.For example,empathetic concern-feeling for someone-is distant from emotional empathy -feeling as someone else does.If they can develop concern instead,for example,they can care without falling apart. In another set of studies conducted with Carol Dweek,a Stanford professor of psychology,we found that merely believing empathy is a skill that can be developed inspired people to try harder at it.For instance peopl CS扫描全能王 】亿人幕在用的扫描A即时 who were encouraged to have a "growth mindset"around empathy,as compared to a fixed mindset,spent more time listening to the suffering of someone of another race and more energy towards trying to understand the opinions of someone from a different part of the political divide. 32.What view do many philosophers and psychologists have about empathy? A.It grows when practiced often. B.It is a result of individual experiences. C.It is inborn and difficult to develop. D.It varies depending on one's upbringing. 33.What does the author suggest doctors do? A.Develop their emotional empathy. B.Try to erase their patients'concern. C.Care for their patients as much as possible. D.Work on improving their empathetic concern. 34.Based on Carol Dweek's studies,in which situation are people willingly empathetic? A.If they believe that empathy is flexible. B.If they are given enough attention. C.If they listen to the identical political views. D.If they suffer racial discrimination. 35.In which unit of a textbook does the text most likely appear? A.Understanding yourself more. B.Feeling for others. C.Exploring genes and emotions. D.Repairing broken relationships. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Getting negative feedback never feels good.In fact,it pretty much always sucks.Even though it feels bad, constructive feedback is meant to help us grow and improve.Here are some strategies that can help you use negative feedback constructively,leading to positive change. 36 Your instinct may be to get upset or justify yourself instantly,but it's important to remain as professional as possible in the moment.Even when your criticizer is factually wrong,the response"You're wrong!" won't ever be helpful.The key is to listen without planning your reply.Simply nod until the other person has completely finished. Recognize the good intentions.Remember,the people who will give you tough feedback are the people who really care about your success.People who tell you only what they know you want to hear don't really care about y0u,37 Don't let it harm your confidence.Whatever you do,don't allow negative feedback to destroy your self-esteem.38Whatever went wrong won't define you forever if you apply the feedback constructively and use it to your advantage. Practice self-affirmation.39 It can be helpful to remind yourself of other aspects of your identity that are not in question to boost your confidence,though.For example,you could say:"Yes,my team thinks I'm a micromanager,but I can work on that,I am also a nice partner,committed volunteer and talented singer." Set actionable goals.It can be helpful to break down the feedback into specific,actionable goals. 40 Set time to outline an action plan and timeline for each of these goals.With this,you can keep track of your progress and hold yourself accountable to your goals. Though negative feedback may be disheartening,take the necessary steps to become an even better version of yourself. 5 CS扫描全能王 】亿人幕在用的扫描A即即 A.Avoid reacting defensively. B.Don't take the feedback personally. C.These can feel easier to work with and give you direction. D.You don't have to apply every piece of feedback you receive. E.Negative feedback can sometimes make you feel like a failure. F.It's almost impossible to consistently do everything right all the time. G.So instead of reacting negatively,thank those caring about you to give you honest feedback. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Every Christmas,my mom would fill our stockings with small toys and candies.At the very tip of the stocking. the very 41 thing that we would pull out was an orange.For years,I hated the tradition.It was 42to pull an orange out of my43 after uncovering so many fun and delicious treats.An orange wasn't special.
