In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them. Types Introduction & Management Apple: Hard Core Apple types are direct and don’t suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose control. They’ll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport. 1. Always stand up to them. 2. Get to the point. 3. Don’t take it personally. 4. Watch and learn from them. Mango: Juicy and Messy Mango types love life and can’t afford to miss a minute. They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers. 1. Talk big picture, avoid details. 2. Give them false deadlines. 3. Don’t micro-manage. Lemon: Concentrated Lemon types love structure and order. They are worriers who like security and predictability. They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating. 1. Respect their need for space. 2. Don’t surprise them. 3. Listen with respect. 4. Show your pace. Banana: Sweet and Gentle Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive. 1. Don’t pressure them, motivate. 2. Create a positive environment. 3. Encourage regular feedback. 4. Be nice to them. 21. What do people of Mango and Lemon personalities have in common? A They both prefer private space and specific deadlines. B. They both dislike being restricted by excessive rules. C. They both serve as good ice-breakers of the workplace. D. They both need regular feedback and being motivated. 22. Who probably favors the Banana Personality? A. Jack, an innovative thinker who is willing to face challenges. B. Adam, a brilliant planner who always sticks to his daily routines. C. Nancy, a patient worker who prioritizes harmonious relationships. D. Robin, an open-minded leader who advocates the value of diversity. 23. Where can the passage probably be found? A. In an academic paper. B. In an entertainment book. C. In a book review. D. In a psychology magazine. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种水果类型的人格的特点。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mango部分中“They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers. (他们喜欢变化，因为他们很容易分心，天生就会打破常规)”以及Lemon部分中“But too many rules can also be frustrating. (但是太多的规则也会让其沮丧)”可知，芒果型人格和柠檬型人格的人都不喜欢被过多的规定所限制。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Banana部分中“Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts.(香蕉型的人喜欢和平，回避冲突)”可知，南希，一个耐心的员工，优先考虑和谐的关系是香蕉型人格。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.(在识别人格类型时，我喜欢用水果来描述。没有人只是一种水果，但我们都有自己的偏好。我们倾向于强调我们的前两个，尤其是在压力下。以下是一些水果的个性，以及如何最好地处理它们)”结合文章主要介绍了四种水果类型的人格的特点。可知，这篇文章可能出现在心理学杂志上。故选D。 B The scene in the stands at Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier was dotted with red banners, adding a glow to the already orange y air spreading the red clay court. There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final. As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win’s gravity seemed to register: This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently — the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.” Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching. Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined the 2008 Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games. “It was really tough,” Zheng said, looking back at those early days. “My mom used to come visit on weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full-time to let me have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17.” In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. “With Iga, I was clear,” Zheng said. “I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.” Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up our chat, she said, softly: “I was reading comments last night and some of them were talking about inspiration, and this makes me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.” 24. According to the passage, which is TRUE about Qinwen Zheng? A. She considered all tennis games to be equally important. B. She felt confident to live alone at her early days of training. C. She secured the first Chinese Olympic tennis championship. D. As a teenager, she wanted to go beyond other Chinese athletes. 25. What does the underlined word “toppling” in the 6th paragraph mean? A. Challenging. B. Defeating. C. Discouraging. D. Declining. 26. Which words can best describe Qinwen Zheng? A. Competent and idealistic. B. Creative and independent. C. Sincere and ambitious. D. Strong-willed and reflective. 27. What can we infer from Qinwen Zheng’s words in the last paragraph? A. She feels delighted to read numerous comments on her match. B. She expects her achievement to motivate more people. C. She takes pride in attaining the Olympic gold medal. D. She hopes that her achievement will earn her fame. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了郑钦文正作为一名网球运动员在比赛中的表现和她的个人故事，特别强调了她在奥运会上为中国赢得首枚网球金牌的成就。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. (这是中国在这个项目上的首枚奥运金牌)”可知，她获得了第一个中国奥运网球冠军。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第六段“In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. (在巴黎，郑钦文在她的夺金之路上表现异常出色，包括toppling世界排名第一的Iga Swiatek)”可知，郑钦文获得了奥运会金牌，所以她在赢得金牌的道路上应该是击败头号种子伊加·斯维亚特克，所以划线单词的意思应与“击败”意义相近。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently — the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.”(在谈到奥运会时，郑说：“我对比赛有不同的对待——情感、拼搏、心态。如果你让我再多坚持三个小时去拼搏，我也能做到。”)”及第六段““I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.” (“我知道为什么以前会输给她。我打得急躁，出现了太多非受迫性失误，想比她更快地击球。我想证明自己的实力。但在本届比赛中，我没有这样想。”)”可知，郑钦文是一位意志坚定且善于反思的运动员。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As we wrapped up our chat, she said, softly: “I was reading comments last night and some of them were talking about inspiration, and this makes me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.” (当我们结束聊天时，她轻声说道：“我昨晚看了些评论，有些人谈到了激励，这让我感到自豪。如果你看了我的网球比赛，这能给你生活中带来一些额外的力量，那我会很高兴。”)”可知，她希望她的成就能激励更多的人。故选B项。 C Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an“ affiliative (亲和) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well- liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the study? A. Its impact. B. Its findings. C. Its limitations. D. Its significance. 29.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科学研究，研究表明面部表情丰富的人在社交中有显著优势，这种优势可以转化为具体的社交利益。文章最后指出，对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热烈的反应。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. (这项研究由诺丁汉特伦特大学社会科学学院研究员Eithne Kavanagh领导，有1300多名参与者。研究注意到人们在谈话中面部动作的多少存在显著差异。重要的是，这种表现力成为一种稳定的个人品质。人们在不同的情境中、与不同的社交伙伴在一起时，甚至在长达四个月的时间段内，都表现出相似程度的面部表情丰富度。)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究发现人们在谈话中面部动作的多少存在显著差异，而且是一种稳定的个人品质。因此，本段主要在讲这项研究的发现。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts.(在谈判任务中，更有表现力的人更有可能获得更大的奖励。研究人员建议，对于和蔼可亲的人来说，动态面部表情可能是建立良好关系和缓和矛盾的工具)”可知，在谈判中，面部表情可能是建立良好关系和缓和矛盾的工具，帮助有表现力的人获得更大利益。因此，面部表情在谈判环境中可能作为一种解决分歧的策略。故选D项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more ‘readable,’ suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. (表情丰富也与被认为更“可读”有关，这表明一张生动的脸让人的意图和精神状态更容易被decipher)”中“Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more ‘readable,’”可知，丰富的表情更“可读”，即更容易被理解和解读，所以“一张生动的脸更容易被人解读意图和精神状态”。划线词decipher与interpret同义，意为“解读”。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings challenge the ‘poker face’ common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. (这些发现挑战了‘扑克脸’的普遍信念，即静止不动、面无表情的外表总是最有利的。相反，它们表明，对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热情的反应)”可知，研究表明面部表情丰富的人在社交中有显著优势，所以对于大多数人来说，让自己的脸反映内心的状态和意图可以引发更热情的反应。因此作者可能建议我们要学会像一本打开的书一样，不要隐藏自己的情感和意图，要通过面部表情表达出来。故选B项。 D Through life’s journey, we inevitably encounter unpleasant emotions — anxiety, envy, fear, and frustration — that can cast a dark shadow over our mind. Many of us often shy away from these feelings, from adopting a sense of denial to turning to food or work as a distraction. We understand that constant joy is an unattainable goal. Yet, we often struggle with emotions that are less than positive. This disgust to negativity is rooted in our natural tendency to avoid or suppress (抑制) such feelings. These negative emotional states can create extra stress in your body and your mind, which is uncomfortable and can also lead to health issues if the stress becomes chronic or overwhelming. This in-built programming, inherited from our ancestors, directs us to avoid discomfort at all costs. However, suppressing our emotions often leads to unforeseen consequences. As Dr. Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic, puts it, “When we bury our emotions, they inevitably end up reappearing elsewhere further down the line, causing numerous issues and symptoms, including headaches and anxiety.” Burying our unfavorable emotions not only influences our well- being but also keeps us from experiencing the benefits that embracing these emotions can bring. Indeed, recognizing and confronting uncomfortable feelings, rather than dismissing or suppressing them, is a sign of emotional health. Negative emotions are there to alert us that something needs to change and to motivate us to make that change. For example, anger and anxiety show that something needs to change and that perhaps our well- being has been threatened; fear is an appeal to increase your level of safety. Emotions, both positive and negative, play a vital role in our human experience. As Elena says, “Without negative emotions, we would struggle to know our boundaries, how to keep ourselves safe and what hurts us or makes us happy. They can guide us toward making decisions that serve us in the long term.” 32. Why do people often try to avoid negative emotions? A. Humans are biologically programmed. B. People believe constant joy is achievable. C. Negative emotions are impossible to control. D. The benefits of negative emotions are neglected. 33. According to Dr. Elena Touroni, what might happen when we bury our emotions? A. They magically disappear over time. B. They eventually cause physical problems. C. They make us stronger and more adaptable. D. They transform into positive emotions. 34. Why are negative emotions important in our human experience? A. They help us avoid difficulties. B. They drive us to take action. C. They suppress the need to change. D. They indicate excellent mental health. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Embracing unpleasant feelings B. Holding back mental challenges C. The healing power of emotions D. Solutions to emotional barriers 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了负面情绪在人类经验中的重要作用，它们帮助我们了解界限，保持安全，以及识别什么会伤害我们或让我们快乐。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These negative emotional states can create extra stress in your body and your mind, which is uncomfortable and can also lead to health issues if the stress becomes chronic or overwhelming. This in- built programming, inherited from our ancestors, directs us to avoid discomfort at all costs.”（这些消极的情绪状态会给你的身体和思想带来额外的压力，这会让你感到不舒服，如果压力变成慢性或压倒性的，还会导致健康问题。这种从我们祖先那里继承下来的内置编程，指导我们不惜一切代价避免不适。）可推知，人们总是试图避免负面情绪是因为人类是由生物编程决定的。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As Dr. Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic, puts it,“ When we bury our emotions, they inevitably end up reappearing elsewhere further down the line, causing numerous issues and symptoms, including headaches and anxiety.””（正如切尔西心理诊所的咨询心理学家埃琳娜·图罗尼博士所说：“当我们把情绪埋藏起来时，它们不可避免地会在其他地方再次出现，引发许多问题和症状，包括头痛和焦虑。”）可推知，根据埃琳娜·图罗尼博士的说法，当我们隐藏情绪时，它们最终会导致身体问题。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Negative emotions are there to alert us that something needs to change and to motivate us to make that change.”（消极情绪提醒我们需要改变，并激励我们做出改变。）可推知，负面情绪在我们的人类经历中如此重要是因为它们驱使我们采取行动。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Emotions, both positive and negative, play a vital role in our human experience. As Elena says, “Without negative emotions, we would struggle to know our boundaries, how to keep ourselves safe and what hurts us or makes us happy. They can guide us toward making decisions that serve us in the long term.””（情绪，无论是积极的还是消极的，在我们人类的经历中都扮演着至关重要的角色。正如埃琳娜所说，“如果没有负面情绪，我们会努力知道自己的界限，如何保证自己的安全，什么会伤害我们，什么会让我们快乐。它们可以引导我们做出对我们长期有益的决定。”）可知，本文强调了负面情绪在人类经验中的重要作用，它们帮助我们了解界限，保持安全，以及识别什么会伤害我们或让我们快乐。因此本文的最佳标题是“拥抱不愉快的感觉”。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem.

Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能).(听音乐可能改善睡眠的原因不止一个。音乐可以通过影响你的生理机能直接促进睡眠)”可知，本句具体说明音乐是如何影响生理机能促进睡眠的。故D选项“听音乐可以减轻你的压力，激发积极的情绪”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据后文“Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep.(研究考察了许多类型的音乐和播放列表，但对于最适合睡眠的音乐，还没有一个明确的答案)”可知，本句与最适合睡觉的音乐类型有关，B选项type对应后文types。故B选项“想知道最适合睡觉的音乐类型是很自然的”符合语境，故选B。 【40题详解】 根据上文“One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences.(关于音乐如何影响一个人的身体，最重要的一点是他们自己的音乐偏好)”以及后文“For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.(对于那些不想设计自己的播放列表的人来说，在线音乐服务已经介入，通常提供睡眠或放松的播放列表)”可知，本句主要说明设计个人播放列表来促进睡眠。故G选项“有用的个人播放列表可能包括过去帮助睡眠的放松歌曲”符合语境，故选G。 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。 It was a beautiful summer evening.

He felt relieved that the shop hadn’t closed forever. Two days ago, when he passed by, there was a closed sign on the door and a note saying Mrs. Carter was sick. Evan was worried that he would never be able to get his “dream job” if the shop remained closed for too long. Mrs. Carter, an 85-year-old woman, spotted Evan looking in her shop’s direction and waved hello to him. Excitedly, Evan ran up to her and expressed his desire to work at the shop. Mrs.Carter laughed quietly, finding it amusing that an eight-year-old wanted a job. Evan confidently explained that since his dad passed away, he had learned how to do various tasks, like taking out the rubbish, making sandwiches, and assisting his mom, Stacey, with groceries. He didn’t want any payment for his work; instead, he simply wanted a bouquet (花束) for his mom’ s upcoming birthday. He believed in working hard for what he wanted, just as his mom had taught him. Impressed by Evan’s determination, Mrs. Carter agreed to hire him. She asked if he knew how to tie ribbons around flowers, and when she heard Evan’s affirmative(肯定的) response, they got down to making bouquets. Evan was excited to assist Mrs. Carter every evening for a whole week, and his presence brought joy to her boring work.Customers found Evan adorable and entertaining, which resulted in increased flower purchases and booming business for Mrs. Carter. On Evan’s last day, Mrs.Carter felt emotional. Their bond had grown strong, and she saw him as a grandchild. As she prepared a splendid bouquet for Evan’s mother, tears welled up in her eyes. She invited him to visit her shop in the future, and Evan promised to tell his mom about her. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 With the bouquet in hand, Evan rushed home to celebrate Mom’s birthday. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 With the bouquet in hand, Evan rushed home to celebrate Mom’s birthday. On seeing the gift, his mom was astonished. The bouquet was huge and looked expensive. Rather than being happy about it, she wondered where Evan had gotten it. “Evan? Where did you get the money for this?” she asked, worried. With a big smile on his face, Evan told her the whole story and explained that he had once overheard Stacey’s conversations, learning she didn’t buy herself things to save money for him, so he made up his mind to give Mom a special gift for her birthday. Hearing the heartfelt words, mom was moved. She embraced him tightly, expressing her love and gratitude. As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. Worried that Mrs. Carter had made a mistake, Evan suggested returning the money. They went to the flower shop immediately and handed the envelope back to Mrs. Carter. Smiling warmly, Mrs. Carter explained that it wasn’t a mistake but a birthday gift for Evan’s mother. She insisted they keep it, saying it was Evan’s affection for his mom that touched her and that she decided to lend a hand. Moved by Mrs. Carter’s kindness, mom invited her for dinner that night and they celebrated Stacey’s birthday together. 第二段落范文二： As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. They hurriedly returned to the flower shop to let Mrs. Carter know how they appreciated her kindness but couldn’t accept the money because of mom’s firm belief－one should stand on his own feet. Mrs. Carter’s eyes were filled with admiration for the Stacey’s independence. She proposed a solution: Stacey could work at the flower shop whenever it was convenient. Mom’s face lit up with joy as she gladly accepted the offer. Stacey invited Mrs. Carter to dinner, not just as a birthday celebration but also as a way to express her gratitude to Mrs. Carter for everything she had done. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了八岁的埃文想为妈妈买一束花庆祝生日，埃文的决心给卡特夫人留下了深刻的印象，她同意雇用他。他的出现给她枯燥的工作带来了乐趣。顾客们发现埃文可爱又有趣，这使得卡特夫人的鲜花购买量增加，生意也兴隆起来。最后卡特夫人送了一束花给他，埃文为母亲庆祝了生日。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“埃文手里拿着花束，冲回家给妈妈庆祝生日”可知，第一段可描写妈妈看到花的反应以及埃文解释花的来历。 ②由第二段首句内容“当埃文把花束递给妈妈时，他们惊讶地发现了一个信封，里面装着几百美元的钞票”可知，第二段可描写他们归还钱，卡特夫人表示是给他母亲的生日礼物。 2.续写线索：埃文拿着花回家——母亲高兴——埃文解释——发现钱——归还钱——卡特夫人解释——一起庆祝生日 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②庆祝：celebrate/observe ③下定决心做某事：make up one’s mind to do/be determined to do 情绪类 ①感动的：moved/touched ②担心的：worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1] Rather than being happy about it, she wondered where Evan had gotten it.

In the workplace, we have to be able to deal with people who aren’t like us. No one will change for you, so you just have to respect their differences. When identifying personality types, I like to talk in terms of fruit. Nobody is just one fruit, but we all have a preference. And we tend to emphasize our top two, especially under pressure. Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them. Types Introduction & Management Apple: Hard Core Apple types are direct and don’t suffer fools. They are fast, logical thinkers who love to win and hate to lose control. They’ll get a result at any cost, but see conflict as sport. 1. Always stand up to them. 2. Get to the point. 3 Don’t take it personally. 4. Watch and learn from them. Mango: Juicy and Messy Mango types love life and can’t afford to miss a minute. They love variety because they tend to be easily distracted and naturally rule breakers. 1. Talk big picture, avoid details. 2. Give them false deadlines. 3. Don’t micro-manage. Lemon: Concentrated Lemon types love structure and order. They are worriers who like security and predictability. They excel at spotting gaps in a plan. But too many rules can also be frustrating. 1. Respect their need for space. 2. Don’t surprise them. 3. Listen with respect. 4. Show your pace. Banana: Sweet and Gentle Banana types enjoy peace and shy away from conflicts. They are kind to react to others’ requests. However, when they are too accommodating, they can be seen as indecisive. 1. Don’t pressure them, motivate. 2. Create a positive environment. 3. Encourage regular feedback. 4. Be nice to them. 21. What do people of Mango and Lemon personalities have in common? A. They both prefer private space and specific deadlines. B.

B The scene in the stands at Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier was dotted with red banners, adding a glow to the already orange y air spreading the red clay court. There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final. As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win’s gravity seemed to register: This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently — the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.” Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching. Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined the 2008 Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games. “It was really tough,” Zheng said, looking back at those early days. “My mom used to come visit on weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full-time to let me have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17.” In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. “With Iga, I was clear,” Zheng said. “I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.” Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up our chat, she said, softly: “I was reading comments last night and some of them were talking about inspiration, and this makes me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.” 24. According to the passage, which is TRUE about Qinwen Zheng? A. She considered all tennis games to be equally important. B. She felt confident to live alone at her early days of training. C. She secured the first Chinese Olympic tennis championship. D. As a teenager, she wanted to go beyond other Chinese athletes. 25. What does the underlined word “toppling” in the 6th paragraph mean? A Challenging. B. Defeating. C. Discouraging. D. Declining. 26. Which words can best describe Qinwen Zheng? A. Competent and idealistic. B. Creative and independent. C. Sincere and ambitious. D. Strong-willed and reflective. 27. What can we infer from Qinwen Zheng’s words in the last paragraph? A. She feels delighted to read numerous comments on her match. B. She expects her achievement to motivate more people. C. She takes pride in attaining the Olympic gold medal. D. She hopes that her achievement will earn her fame. C Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationship and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an“ affiliative (亲和) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well- liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the study? A. Its impact. B. Its findings. C. Its limitations. D. Its significance. 29. What may facial expressiveness serve as in negotiation settings? A. A way to frighten competitors. B. A method to hide personalities. C. A tool to show personal quality. D. A strategy to settle disagreement. 30. What does the underlined word “decipher” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Copy. B. Overlook. C. Remember D. Interpret. 31. What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A. Always wearing a still face. B. Learning to be an open book. C. Speaking out inner emotions. D. Forcing a smile through tears. D Through life’s journey, we inevitably encounter unpleasant emotions — anxiety, envy, fear, and frustration — that can cast a dark shadow over our mind. Many of us often shy away from these feelings, from adopting a sense of denial to turning to food or work as a distraction. We understand that constant joy is an unattainable goal. Yet, we often struggle with emotions that are less than positive. This disgust to negativity is rooted in our natural tendency to avoid or suppress (抑制) such feelings. These negative emotional states can create extra stress in your body and your mind, which is uncomfortable and can also lead to health issues if the stress becomes chronic or overwhelming. This in-built programming, inherited from our ancestors, directs us to avoid discomfort at all costs. However, suppressing our emotions often leads to unforeseen consequences. As Dr. Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic, puts it, “When we bury our emotions, they inevitably end up reappearing elsewhere further down the line, causing numerous issues and symptoms, including headaches and anxiety.” Burying our unfavorable emotions not only influences our well- being but also keeps us from experiencing the benefits that embracing these emotions can bring. Indeed, recognizing and confronting uncomfortable feelings, rather than dismissing or suppressing them, is a sign of emotional health. Negative emotions are there to alert us that something needs to change and to motivate us to make that change. For example, anger and anxiety show that something needs to change and that perhaps our well- being has been threatened; fear is an appeal to increase your level of safety. Emotions, both positive and negative, play a vital role in our human experience. As Elena says, “Without negative emotions, we would struggle to know our boundaries, how to keep ourselves safe and what hurts us or makes us happy. They can guide us toward making decisions that serve us in the long term.” 32. Why do people often try to avoid negative emotions? A. Humans are biologically programmed. B. People believe constant joy is achievable. C. Negative emotions are impossible to control. D. The benefits of negative emotions are neglected. 33. According to Dr. Elena Touroni, what might happen when we bury our emotions? A. They magically disappear over time. B. They eventually cause physical problems. C. They make us stronger and more adaptable. D. They transform into positive emotions. 34. Why are negative emotions important in our human experience? A. They help us avoid difficulties. B. They drive us to take action. C. They suppress the need to change. D. They indicate excellent mental health. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Embracing unpleasant feelings B. Holding back mental challenges C. The healing power of emotions D. Solutions to emotional barriers 第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem.

He felt relieved that the shop hadn’t closed forever. Two days ago, when he passed by, there was a closed sign on the door and a note saying Mrs. Carter was sick. Evan was worried that he would never be able to get his “dream job” if the shop remained closed for too long. Mrs. Carter, an 85-year-old woman, spotted Evan looking in her shop’s direction and waved hello to him. Excitedly, Evan ran up to her and expressed his desire to work at the shop. Mrs.Carter laughed quietly, finding it amusing that an eight-year-old wanted a job. Evan confidently explained that since his dad passed away, he had learned how to do various tasks, like taking out the rubbish, making sandwiches, and assisting his mom, Stacey, with groceries.
