Questions eleven, what is the passage mainly about? Twelve, why did Charles diggings start to work in a factory? Thirteen, why didn't Charles dickies talk about his working in the factory with his wife and children? Questions fourteen through sixteen are based on the following passage. Jason paced the corridor outside the bedroom before his presentation. He could hear his pulse in his ears, and his mouth was dry. The last time he felt like this, he told themselves to relax, but IT didn't work. So this time he tried something different. I feel excited. Suddenly, ly, his symptoms, the raising polls, the twisting stomach and sweet ponds started to energize him. The bedroom door opened. He performed brilliantly. This story might be fiction, ed, but at its core, lies of very real truth. The science of emotion tells us that our bodies respond similarly to many different emotions, including anger, excitement and anxiety. And recent research has shown that if we verbally put those symptoms into a different context by saying I feel excited when feeling stressed, for example, we can trick ourselves into following soup. The key to all of this is the chemicals in your body called the new transmit and hormonal new pinot. When you're tall, stressed or scared, your new pino phone levels increase well beyond their sweet pot. When you tell yourself you're excited, they sometimes fall back. Of course, this trick won't work for every emotion. It's a lot harder to reframe stress as relaxation because those two conditions have entirely different physical symptoms, none the less. In the right context, stress can become a source of positive energy, not just a by product of anxiety. Now listen again. Jason paced the corridor outside the bedroom. Before his presentation.

Fifteen, how can you trick yourself into not feeling scared when you actually do? Sixteen, in which situation can you reframe one emotion as another? Questions seventeen through twenty are based on the following conversation. Hi Sarah. Whats up? Oh, hi. I just get out of history class. I had to give a presentation. How did you go terribly?

Dear Jim, I’m thrilled to hear that you’re interested in joining a student club next semester! Based on your love for art and cross-cultural exchange, I highly recommend the ‌Traditional Chinese Calligraphy Club‌. This club offers a perfect blend of cultural immersion and creativity. You’ll learn the art of brush strokes, explore the history of Chinese characters, and even participate in exhibitions. It’s also a great way to make friends who share your interests. Additionally, practicing calligraphy can help you relax and adapt to campus life more smoothly. To prepare, you might want to bring basic tools like brushes and ink (though the club provides them too). Watching online tutorials about basic techniques in advance could also help you get started faster. Most importantly, come with an open mind and enthusiasm to embrace new experiences! Feel free to ask me more questions. Looking forward to seeing you at the club! Best regards, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 听力原文 I.

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Charles Dickens was one of the greatest nineteenth-century English novelists. At the time of his death in 1870 he was a wealthy man, in contrast to the poverty of his early days. His parents tried their best to look after him but were always in difficulties with money. Eventually, his father owed such a large amount of money that he was sent to prison for three months. Two days after his twelfth birthday, Dickens was taken away from school by his parents and made to work in a factory to increase the family income. Factories could be dangerous places in those days and some employers were cruel. Charles was not only extremely unhappy, but also ashamed of working there, and he would never forget that period of his life. In his novels Dickens showed just how shocking working and living conditions were. Working in the factory affected him deeply that he found it much too painful to speak about in later life. His own wife and children knew nothing at all about the unhappiness of his childhood while Dickens was still alive, but shortly after his death a biography was published in which Dickens’ terrible childhood experiences in the factory were revealed for the first time. Now listen again. Questions: 11. What is the passage mainly about? 12. Why did Charles Dickens start to work in a factory? 13. Why didn’t Charles Dickens talk about his working in the factory with his wife and children? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Jason paced the corridor outside the boardroom before his presentation. He could hear his pulse in his ears, and his mouth was dry. The last time he felt like this, he told himself to relax, but it didn’t work. So this time, he tried something different: “I feel excited.” Suddenly, his symptoms— the racing pulse, the twisting stomach, the sweaty palms—started to energize him. The boardroom door opened. He performed brilliantly. This story might be fiction, but at its core lies a very real truth. The science of emotion tells us that our bodies respond similarly to many different emotions, including anger, excitement and anxiety. And recent research has shown that if we verbally put those symptoms into a different context—by saying “I feel excited” when feeling stressed, for example—we can trick ourselves into following suit. The key to all this is the chemicals in your body called the neurotransmitter and hormone norepinephrine. When you’re too stressed or scared, your norepinephrine levels increase well beyond their sweet spot: when you tell yourself you’re excited, they sometimes fall back. Of course, this trick won’t work for every emotion: it’s a lot harder to reframe stress as relaxation, because those two conditions have entirely different physical symptoms. Nonetheless, in the right context, stress can become a source of positive energy—not just a by-product of anxiety. Now listen again. Questions 14. What is the passage mainly about? 15. How can you trick yourself into not feeling scared when you actually do? 16. In which situation can you reframe one emotion as another? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: Hi, Sarah. What’s up? W: Oh, hi, I just got out a history class. I had to give a presentation. M: How did it go? W: Terribly. I’m sure I made a fool of myself. M: Why? Weren’t you prepared? W: No, it was not that. I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people.

Dutch and Mandarin Chinese. They analysed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like"huh?"and were used to request that whatever hnd just been said be47.The researchers found out that all48 a version of"huh?".The word was also found in another 21 langunges.Whlle there were subtle differences in each country.all49 basically the same. This is surprising because normally 50 languages will use very different words to describe the same thing.For instance,the Japanese for"dog"is"inu",while the French is"chien". It is thought that anggesround the world have developed theirown version of"huh?"becaus the sound is quick and simple to 51 as well as being easily understood. The researchers,said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like"huh?".but in fact this lintle word is an essential tool in human52 They also have an answer for those who claim that "huh?"isn't a53.They say that it54 because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages.It also can be considered a word because it's something we55 to say,rather than n grunt or cry that we are bom knowing how to make. 41.A.explaining B.escaping C.ldentifying D.studying 42.A.sllly B.impossible C.beneficial D.unusual 43.A.positive B.accurate C.meaningful D.similar 44.A.analyze B.comment C.understand D.appreciate 45.A.context B.level C.place D.culture 46.A.flexible B.unchanged C.magical D.mysterious 47.A.completed B.neglected C.Illuminated D.repeated 48.A.avoided B.pronounced C.contnined D.recommended 49.A.sounded C.originated D.recorded 6 50.A.advanced B.anrelaned C.complicated D.restrfcled 5T.A.find 且.comvey C.fonn D,recor时 52.A.evolution B.crisis C.development D.communiaricn 53.A.word B.sound C.longuage S4.A.doubrs B.qualifies C.simplifies D.cxi地 55.A.hesitate B.attempt C.leam D.bother Section B Directions: urfnished afemeForcfthe fourchoices marked A.B.Cand D.Chose he (A) Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media,but the differeng generations'online habits couldn't be more different.The over-55s are joining Facebook in Increasing numbers,meaning that they will soon be the site's second biggest aser group.with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.

(C) Is any economist so dull as to eritlelze Christmns?At first glance,the hollday soason In western economles seems a treat for those concemed with such vagarles()as GDP growth After all,everyone is spending:in America,retnilers make 25%of their yearly sales and 60%of their profits between Thanksglving and Christmas.Even so,economists find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases being made. Much of the hollday spending is on glfts for others.At the simplest level,giving gifts involves the glver thinking of something that the recipient would llke-he trles to guess his or her preferences,as economists say-and then buying the gift and delivering It Yet this guessing ofpreferenes nsy;Indeed,Its often done badly.Every year,tiesgo unwom and books unread.And even If a glft Is enJoyed,It may not be what the reipient would have bought if they 8 had spent the money themselves. Interested in this mismatch between wants and glfts,In 1993 Joel Waldfogel,then an conmisYale University,sought to estimate the differene n dollar termsnareserhhe asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season:first,estimate the total amount paid (by the givers)for all the holiday gifts you received;second,apart from the emotional value of the items,if you did not have them.how much would you be willing to pay to get them?His results were gloourg:on average,a gift was valued by the recipient well below the price paid by the giver. In addition.recipients may not know their own preferences very well.Some of the best gifts, after all,are unexpected items that you would never have thought of buying,but which tum out to be especially well picked.And preferencec change.So by givingjaCD.for exmple,the giver may be encouroging the recipient to enjoy something that was ignored before.This,a desire to build skills,s possiblythe hope held by many parents who ignore their chlldren's desires for video games and buy them books instead. Finally,there are items that a recipient would like to receive but not purchase.If someone else buys them,however,they can be enjoyed guilt-free.This might explain the high volume of chocolate that changes over the holidays.Thus.the lesson for gint-givers is that you should try hard to guess the preference of each person on your list and then choose a gif that will have a high emotional value. 63.For whal reason are economists concemed about holiday purchases? A.Seasonal sales don't match profits well. B.Som of te holiday purchases end upwith waste. C.Sales and profits are far from being expected. D.Things sold during holiday season are of limited variety. 64.The word "gloomry (in 3 paragraph)most probably means" A.predictable B.persuasive C.accurate D.depressing 65.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true? A.Recipients tend to overestimate the values of a gift. B.People's preference remains unchanged. C.Gifts may help a person to cultivate n hobby or skill. D.Chocolate is a gift which may cause a sense of guilt 66.Which of the following might the author agree with? A.It's not good practice for people to send gifts during holidays. B.The more money you spend on the gif,the more emotional value it has. C.It's wise to ignore a recipient's preference when choosing a gift D.Guessing preference is important although sometimes it falls. Section C Directions:Read the passage carefully.Fill in eoch blank with a proper sentence given in the hox.Euch sentence cun be used only once.Note that thers are wo more sentences than you need. A.Earlier medieal treatment shows satisfactory result. B.This tendency causes signifieant distress or affects quallty life. C.And this throws a light to the options we can tum to in the treatment D.People suffering from hoarding disorder shouldn't take it too seriously. B.However,it can be suceessfully treated with the right mix of treatment methods. F.It can often help the hoardera accept that there is a problem,and then possibly develop solutions. Some people strugge to throw away things even if theyare o longer need and in the meanwhile they like to colleet huge numbers of things.These people are suffering hoarding disorder,which is defined as loving to keep too number of items,and having diffculty throwing any of them. 67In fact,hoarding is recognized as a metal disorder by the World Henlth Organization.It can be associated with other mental health conditions such as depression and social anxiety,etc. One theory is that having experienced loss in the past can make people suffer from hoarding disorderfa personossmting imporathe childhood,heorshe would reist any furher losses. Hoarding disorder,just like many other mental illnesses,can never really be "cured" 68 If and when boarding disorder is diagnosed,the mental health professional,the pasprimare physicinand any specialistsorother professonas involved will work together to develop a coordinared treatment For most people with hoarding disorder, cognitlve behavioral therap(认知行为治疗)wi的a mental health professional is the first choice treatment 69 Because hoarding disorder is still relatively new as a distinct condition,treatment plans may be somewhat less standardized.For instance,there is still disagreement regarding if and how to use medicine to treat hoarding disorder.Hopefully.some people with the condition do seem to respond well to certain kind of medieine. 70 Although we stlll have a long way to o.lest we've started.
