B Growing up on the Guanzhong Plain, He Jing didn’t start mountaineering until 18. Her first climb, in 2006, was in the Qinling Mountains, and it sparked a passion for the sport. In 2012, feeling sad for the loss of her grandmother, He attempted her first mountain over 5,000 meters — Mount Siguniang in Sichuan province. The experience provided her with a sense of peace and relief. “As I approached the summit (顶峰) and saw the rosy light on the snow, I found peace and a release from my inner confusion,” she recalled. Since then, He has been devoted to climbing high-altitude peaks. She summited her first 8,000-meter peak, Mount Cho Oyu, in 2016, using just one bottle of oxygen. Realizing she could handle the extreme altitude (海拔), she decided to attempt future climbs without oxygen, a move partly motivated by cost savings. Climbing without oxygen carries significant risks due to the thin atmosphere at high altitudes. To prepare, He trained strictly, running at least five times a week, climbing 200 flights of stairs with a 20-kilogram load twice weekly, and using an oxygen-restricting mask to simulate high-altitude conditions. “At altitudes above 8,000 meters, the human brain experiences extreme lack of oxygen, and the body becomes sleepy. I kept telling myself not to fall asleep, as I might never wake up again,” she said. Her first successful summit without bottled oxygen came on Sept. 25, 2017, when she reached the top of Mount Manaslu in Nepal. On Oct. 9 this year, she reached the summit of the 8,027-meter Mount Shishapangma in China’s Xizang autonomous region, becoming the first person from China and the third woman in the world to scale all 14 of the world’s peaks over 8,000 meters without the use of additional oxygen. 4. What motivated He to attempt her climbing in 2012? A. Her enthusiasm for climbing. B. Her desire to challenge herself. C. Her sorrow for losing her grandmother. D. Her determination to handle the extreme altitude. 5 How did He prepare herself for climbing without additional oxygen? A. By running four or five times a week. B. By training in high-altitude conditions. C. By climbing stairs with loads regularly. D. By wearing a mask with adequate oxygen. 6. Which of the following words best describe He? A. Energetic and sociable. B. Determined and passionate. C. Demanding and humble. D. Strong-willed and friendly. 7. What does He’s experience tell us? A. Look before you leap. B. More haste (匆忙), less speed. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. C Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden only to find your well-cared-for plants withered and dying? Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their plants would just tell them what they need. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real world. Next year, at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. Aside from the pleasant novelty of chatting with plants, the garden will provide visitors with a physical representation of the many ways AI technologies could be used to enhance sustainability efforts. The Intelligent garden will rely on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture and nutrient levels as well as wind and rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on feeding, watering, or trimming. Onsite plant caretakers aren’t the only ones who can interact with the garden. Visitors to the show can also walk up to virtual platforms and ask the intelligent garden questions about its current environmental state. The AI language module will then interpret the data and respond to the visitors in a conversational dialogue. In theory, insights provided by models like this could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could bring convenience to casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can provide the same level of care as experienced gardeners. 8. What’s the possible effect of the intelligent garden project? A. It’ ll increase the profits for gardening industry. B. It’ ll replace human gardeners with AI technology. C It’ ll promote sustainable development of gardening. D. It’ ll create an attraction at the Chelsea Flower Show. 9. How does the intelligent garden know what plants need? A. Via dialogues with gardeners. B. Through computers in the garden. C. By analyzing data from the sensors. D. By examining plants for signs of pests. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The AI model will be widely used. B. The AI model helps save resources. C. The AI model can forecast the weather. D. The AI model makes gardeners unnecessary. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Future gardens will be controlled by AI. B. The Chelsea Flower Show amazes audience. C. The intelligent garden is embraced by gardeners. D. AI technology helps to make gardens sustainable. D “Can you finish the work by the end of the day?” This question might cause anxiety for many employees. However, recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening. In a study focused on retirement planning, volunteers completed a brief online survey under two different deadline conditions. One group had seven days to finish the survey, while the other was given 14 days. The researchers discovered that those facing the longer deadline often viewed the task as more difficult. Although participants with the extended deadline initially invested more time and resources, they were also more likely to procrastinate (拖延) and less likely to complete the assignment compared to those with shorter deadlines. Recognizing that people frequently deal with multiple deadlines, researchers explored how individuals manage various tasks at the same time. The findings found a mental tendency: individuals often delay important tasks in favor of urgent but less significant ones. For example, many delay routine medical check-ups — crucial for health — in favor of rushing to a store for a limited-time sale. This occurs because important tasks feel more complex and distant, while urgent tasks provide immediate satisfaction. These patterns have significant results for managers and others involved in setting deadlines. Understanding these mental processes can help find strategies to enhance task completion rates. Short deadlines for urgent tasks tend to draw attention more effectively, leading to higher completion rates and reduced procrastination. On the other hand, longer deadlines can lead to excessive careful thought or distraction, resulting in incomplete work. However, it’s essential to recognize that longer deadlines may still be necessary for complex tasks, particularly when external factors, such as resource availability or cooperation, require additional time for proper completion. In such cases, a balanced approach is crucial: setting realistic deadlines that account for both urgency and complexity can lead to improved outcomes. By recognizing the minor differences of human motivation, individuals and organizations can develop effective strategies for task management. 12. According to recent research, what may shorter deadlines bring about? A Increased stress. B. Higher efficiency. C. Reduced workload. D. Slower completion. 13. Why do people tend to delay important tasks for urgent ones? A. Urgent tasks offer instant rewards. B. Urgent tasks are more complicated. C. Important tasks are less challenging. D. Important tasks need multi-tasking. 14. How should managers set proper deadlines to improve outcome? A. Set all tasks with shorter deadlines. B. Prioritize resources and cooperation. C. Balance task urgency and complexity. D. Extend deadlines for significant tasks. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of Urgency in Task Completion B. Strategies for Managing Various Deadlines C. Influences of Procrastination on Work Quality D. The Power of Deadlines in Task Management 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 As is well known, making art is good for your health.

Her first climb, in 2006, was in the Qinling Mountains, and it sparked a passion for the sport. In 2012, feeling sad for the loss of her grandmother, He attempted her first mountain over 5,000 meters — Mount Siguniang in Sichuan province. The experience provided her with a sense of peace and relief. “As I approached the summit (顶峰) and saw the rosy light on the snow, I found peace and a release from my inner confusion,” she recalled. Since then, He has been devoted to climbing high-altitude peaks. She summited her first 8,000-meter peak, Mount Cho Oyu, in 2016, using just one bottle of oxygen. Realizing she could handle the extreme altitude (海拔), she decided to attempt future climbs without oxygen, a move partly motivated by cost savings. Climbing without oxygen carries significant risks due to the thin atmosphere at high altitudes. To prepare, He trained strictly, running at least five times a week, climbing 200 flights of stairs with a 20-kilogram load twice weekly, and using an oxygen-restricting mask to simulate high-altitude conditions. “At altitudes above 8,000 meters, the human brain experiences extreme lack of oxygen, and the body becomes sleepy. I kept telling myself not to fall asleep, as I might never wake up again,” she said. Her first successful summit without bottled oxygen came on Sept. 25, 2017, when she reached the top of Mount Manaslu in Nepal. On Oct. 9 this year, she reached the summit of the 8,027-meter Mount Shishapangma in China’s Xizang autonomous region, becoming the first person from China and the third woman in the world to scale all 14 of the world’s peaks over 8,000 meters without the use of additional oxygen. 4. What motivated He to attempt her climbing in 2012? A. Her enthusiasm for climbing. B. Her desire to challenge herself. C. Her sorrow for losing her grandmother. D. Her determination to handle the extreme altitude. 5. How did He prepare herself for climbing without additional oxygen? A. By running four or five times a week. B. By training in high-altitude conditions. C. By climbing stairs with loads regularly. D. By wearing a mask with adequate oxygen. 6. Which of the following words best describe He? A Energetic and sociable. B. Determined and passionate. C. Demanding and humble. D. Strong-willed and friendly. 7. What does He’s experience tell us? A. Look before you leap. B. More haste (匆忙), less speed. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了中国女性何静带着对登山的热爱，经过自己不懈的努力，成为中国首位无氧登顶14座8000米以上高峰的女性，同时也是世界第三位完成这一壮举的女性攀登者。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2012, feeling sad for the loss of her grandmother, He attempted her first mountain over 5,000 meters — Mount Siguniang in Sichuan province.

Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their plants would just tell them what they need. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real world. Next year, at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. Aside from the pleasant novelty of chatting with plants, the garden will provide visitors with a physical representation of the many ways AI technologies could be used to enhance sustainability efforts. The Intelligent garden will rely on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture and nutrient levels as well as wind and rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on feeding, watering, or trimming. Onsite plant caretakers aren’t the only ones who can interact with the garden. Visitors to the show can also walk up to virtual platforms and ask the intelligent garden questions about its current environmental state. The AI language module will then interpret the data and respond to the visitors in a conversational dialogue. In theory, insights provided by models like this could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could bring convenience to casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can provide the same level of care as experienced gardeners. 8 What’s the possible effect of the intelligent garden project? A. It’ ll increase the profits for gardening industry. B. It’ ll replace human gardeners with AI technology. C. It’ ll promote sustainable development of gardening. D. It’ ll create an attraction at the Chelsea Flower Show. 9. How does the intelligent garden know what plants need? A. Via dialogues with gardeners. B. Through computers in the garden. C. By analyzing data from the sensors. D. By examining plants for signs of pests. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The AI model will be widely used. B. The AI model helps save resources. C. The AI model can forecast the weather. D. The AI model makes gardeners unnecessary. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Future gardens will be controlled by AI. B. The Chelsea Flower Show amazes audience. C. The intelligent garden is embraced by gardeners. D. AI technology helps to make gardens sustainable. 【答案】8.

However, recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening. In a study focused on retirement planning, volunteers completed a brief online survey under two different deadline conditions. One group had seven days to finish the survey, while the other was given 14 days. The researchers discovered that those facing the longer deadline often viewed the task as more difficult. Although participants with the extended deadline initially invested more time and resources, they were also more likely to procrastinate (拖延) and less likely to complete the assignment compared to those with shorter deadlines. Recognizing that people frequently deal with multiple deadlines, researchers explored how individuals manage various tasks at the same time. The findings found a mental tendency: individuals often delay important tasks in favor of urgent but less significant ones. For example, many delay routine medical check-ups — crucial for health — in favor of rushing to a store for a limited-time sale. This occurs because important tasks feel more complex and distant, while urgent tasks provide immediate satisfaction. These patterns have significant results for managers and others involved in setting deadlines. Understanding these mental processes can help find strategies to enhance task completion rates. Short deadlines for urgent tasks tend to draw attention more effectively, leading to higher completion rates and reduced procrastination. On the other hand, longer deadlines can lead to excessive careful thought or distraction, resulting in incomplete work. However, it’s essential to recognize that longer deadlines may still be necessary for complex tasks, particularly when external factors, such as resource availability or cooperation, require additional time for proper completion. In such cases, a balanced approach is crucial: setting realistic deadlines that account for both urgency and complexity can lead to improved outcomes. By recognizing the minor differences of human motivation, individuals and organizations can develop effective strategies for task management. 12. According to recent research, what may shorter deadlines bring about? A. Increased stress. B. Higher efficiency. C. Reduced workload. D. Slower completion. 13. Why do people tend to delay important tasks for urgent ones? A. Urgent tasks offer instant rewards. B. Urgent tasks are more complicated. C. Important tasks are less challenging. D. Important tasks need multi-tasking. 14. How should managers set proper deadlines to improve outcome? A. Set all tasks with shorter deadlines. B. Prioritize resources and cooperation. C. Balance task urgency and complexity. D. Extend deadlines for significant tasks. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of Urgency in Task Completion B. Strategies for Managing Various Deadlines C. Influences of Procrastination on Work Quality D. The Power of Deadlines in Task Management 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了截止日期在任务管理中的作用，包括较短的截止日期可以提高效率，而较长的截止日期可能导致拖延，以及管理者如何平衡任务的紧迫性和复杂性来设定适当的截止日期以改善结果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening.(然而，最近的研究表明，较短的截止日期实际上可以帮助一些人更有效地完成任务，并认为他们的工作量不那么可怕)”可知，最近的研究表明，较短的截止日期可以帮助一些人更有效地完成任务。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This occurs because important tasks feel more complex and distant, while urgent tasks provide immediate satisfaction.(这是因为重要的任务感觉更复杂、更遥远，而紧急的任务能立即带来满足感)”可知，紧急任务会立即带来满足感，即紧急任务会提供即时回报，所以人们倾向于优先处理紧急任务。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In such cases, a balanced approach is crucial: setting realistic deadlines that account for both urgency and complexity can lead to improved outcomes.(在这种情况下，平衡的方法至关重要：设定既考虑紧迫性又考虑复杂性的现实截止日期可以带来更好的结果)”可知，管理者应该平衡任务的紧迫性和复杂性来设定适当的截止日期以改善结果。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening.(然而，最近的研究表明，较短的截止日期实际上可以帮助一些人更有效地完成任务，并认为他们的工作量不那么可怕)”以及最后一段“By recognizing the minor differences of human motivation, individuals and organizations can develop effective strategies for task management.(通过认识到人类动机的细微差别，个人和组织可以制定有效的任务管理策略)”可知，文章主要讨论了截止日期在任务管理中的作用，包括较短的截止日期可以提高效率，而较长的截止日期可能导致拖延，以及管理者如何平衡任务的紧迫性和复杂性来设定适当的截止日期以改善结果。由此可知，D项“The Power of Deadlines in Task Management(截止日期在任务管理中的力量)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 As is well known, making art is good for your health.
