Tired of being behind schedule? Here are some important work tips that you can follow to improve your productivity. Focusing on One Task Some people have the habit of multitasking, which is great, but it might distract you from the bigger picture. Multitasking might help you with different tasks. You might also feel like the jack of all trades (万事通) but your productivity won’t increase in the long run. Focus on one task at a time and this will allow you to complete that task with high standards. When the task is done, you can move on to the next one. Setting Small but Effective Goals You will be given large and challenging tasks at work and what matters is how you deal with them. Stress might be the normal response here but you can also play it smart. You can break any large task into small but manageable tasks, which will help you stay productive and will also make the best of time. Think of it like building blocks and you will have to focus on one small task at a time but the end result will be fascinating. Setting Self-Imposed (自己强加的) Deadlines Setting self-imposed deadlines can actually help you be more productive at work Stress is a bad thing, but self-imposed stress can actually help us focus and be better. You can do really well with open-ended tasks or projects once you give yourself a deadline. Stick to that deadline and you will be surprised by the miracles that you can perform at work. Trying Following the “Two-Minute” Rule Steve Olenski is one of the finest entrepreneurs to date and he has given wonderful advice in the shape of the “Two-Minute” Rule. The “Two-Minute” Rule is basically about making the best out of small windows at work. Olenski tells us that if there is a task at work, and you can do it in 2 minutes, then you do it immediately. When you complete that small task, you don’t actually have to waste more time getting back to it, which also increases your productivity. 36. By focusing on one task, you may________.

What is the author’s suggestion for handling difficult tasks? A. Respond to them tensely. B. Make a plan in advance. C. Break them into manageable ones. D. Focus on the results all the time. 38.

It requires getting back to tasks. 40. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To share his work experience with the reader. B. To point out the importance of time management. C. To introduce the ways of achieving goals. D. To offer tips on enhancing productivity. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些提高工作效率的建议。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Focus on one task at a time and this will allow you to complete that task with high standards.(一次专注于一个任务，这将使你能够以高标准完成这项任务)”可知，通过专注于一项任务，你可以高标准地完成这项任务。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“You will be given large and challenging tasks at work and what matters is how you deal with them. Stress might be the normal response here but you can also play it smart. You can break any large task into small but manageable tasks, which will help you stay productive and will also make the best of time.(在工作中，你会被赋予巨大而富有挑战性的任务，重要的是你如何处理它们。压力可能是正常的反应，但你也可以聪明地处理它。你可以把任何大的任务分解成小的但易于管理的任务，这将帮助你保持效率，也将充分利用时间)”可知，对于处理困难的任务，作者建议把它们分成可管理的部分。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“You can do really well with open-ended tasks or projects once you give yourself a deadline.(一旦你给自己一个截止日期，你就可以很好地完成开放式任务或项目)”可知，如果你给自己设定了最后期限，你可以很好地完成开放式的任务或项目。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Olenski tells us that if there is a task at work, and you can do it in 2 minutes, then you do it immediately. When you complete that small task, you don’t actually have to waste more time getting back to it, which also increases your productivity.(奥兰斯基告诉我们，如果工作中有一项任务，你可以在两分钟内完成，那么你就立即去做。当你完成了这个小任务，你就不必再浪费时间去做它了，这也提高了你的效率)”可知，A选项“它包括毫不拖延地完成一项小任务”正确。故选A。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Are you struggling to be yourself at work? Tired of being behind schedule? Here are some important work tips that you can follow to improve your productivity.(你在工作中挣扎着做自己吗？厌倦了落后于计划？这里有一些重要的工作建议，你可以遵循，以提高你的工作效率)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是提供提高生产力的建议。故选D。 B A charity called Hubbub suggests that we take our own plastic containers along when we buy takeaway food. To encourage us, we can get a discount on the food we buy. I agree with every aspect of this, other than that I personally wouldn’t want a discount. I would be only too happy to show off my absolutely world-class Tupperware collection on a daily basis. (Tupperware is a brand known for its line of plastic containers with airtight seals which are designed to keep food fresh for a longer time. ) I will be very pleased to pass on my discount to the customer behind me in the queue. They will want the money to buy themselves some better containers, for once they’ve seen mine, their whole bodies will throb (颤动) with envy. I go back a long way with plastics. My mum is from Croatia, born and raised in a city where plastic products are cherished. The notion of single-use plastics doesn’t really exist there. Just as the Croatian writer Slavenka Drakulié points out in one of her books, nobody has any choice but to be environmentally sound: everything has to be recycled or more accurately, reused. And my mum didn’t leave that habit at home when she came to Britain to meet my dad, have children and set up home in the West Midlands. To this day, my mum’s plastic collection is incomparable. Week after week, the recycling man walks up her drive, peers into the bin, shakes his head and walks away sadly — empty again. Inside, the kitchen shelves are full of plastic bottles and containers. Her habit has been passed down to me. Every time when I try to throw away plastic pots, my hand shakes as they hover over the recycling bin. Disposal seems disloyal to my mum, the planet and everything in between. Now I have transferred all my love to Tupperware. I counted 24 empty examples in various sizes this morning, along with 24 matching lids. Furthermore, at each washing I remove the plastic seals from the lids and clean them separately. If, mysteriously and upsettingly, I can’t find a lid for a tub, or a tub for a lid, the offending piece is put in my widows-and-orphans box. Sometimes a missing tub or lid turns up, and there is an emotional reunion with no small ceremony. These things are important to me. 41. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Hubbub offers free plastic containers to people. B. The author is proud of his Tupperware collection. C. Hubbub encourages people to buy takeaway food. D. The author tries to sell his Tupperware at a discount. 42. What do we know about the hometown of the author’s mum? A. It is a place where plastic pollution is serious. B. It is a place where plastic products are expensive. C. It is a place which takes plastic recycling seriously. D. It is a place which consumes lots of single-use plastics. 43. How does the author feel when he tries to throw away plastic pots? A. Relieved. B. Delighted. C. Angry. D. Guilty. 44. What will the author do if he can’t match a lid and a tub? A. He will buy a new pair. B. He will give them to others. C. He will keep them in his storage box. D. He will attempt to find the missing parts. 45. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. recycling plastics is a tradition in author’s family B. the author is keen on collecting plastic products C. the recycling man appreciates the author mom’s life style D. the author throw away her plastic products regularly 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己对塑料制品尤其是特百惠容器的喜爱，这种喜爱源于母亲，母亲来自克罗地亚，当地重视塑料回收利用，母亲来到英国后仍保留该习惯，作者也深受影响，对塑料制品的处理极为谨慎，不舍得丢弃。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I would be only too happy to show off my absolutely world - class Tupperware collection on a daily basis.(我每天都非常乐意炫耀我那绝对堪称世界级的特百惠容器收藏)” 可知，作者为自己的特百惠容器收藏感到自豪。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My mum is from Croatia, born and raised in a city where plastic products are cherished. The notion of single-use plastics doesn’t really exist there. Just as the Croatian writer Slavenka Drakulié points out in one of her books, nobody has any choice but to be environmentally sound: everything has to be recycled or more accurately, reused.(我妈妈来自克罗地亚，在一个珍视塑料制品的城市出生和长大。一次性塑料的概念在那里并不存在。正如克罗地亚作家斯拉文卡・德拉库利奇在她的一本书中指出的，每个人别无选择，只能注重环保：所有东西都必须回收，或者更准确地说，重复使用)” 可知，作者母亲的家乡很重视塑料回收。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Every time when I try to throw away plastic pots, my hand shakes as they hover over the recycling bin. Disposal seems disloyal to my mum, the planet and everything in between.(每次我试图扔掉塑料罐时，我的手在垃圾桶上方徘徊时都会颤抖。丢弃它们似乎对我母亲、地球以及这两者之间的一切都不忠)” 可推断，作者试图扔掉塑料罐时感到内疚。故选 D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If, mysteriously and upsettingly, I can’t find a lid for a tub, or a tub for a lid, the offending piece is put in my widows-and-orphans box.(如果，莫名其妙且令人沮丧的是，我找不到与容器匹配的盖子，或者与盖子匹配的容器，这些不匹配的物件就会被放进我的“孤寡物件箱”。）” 可知，如果作者找不到匹配的盖子和容器，他会把它们放在他的储物箱里。故选 C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To this day, my mum’s plastic collection is incomparable. Week after week, the recycling man walks up her drive, peers into the bin, shakes his head and walks away sadly—empty again.(直到今天，我妈妈收集的塑料都是无与伦比的。一个星期又一个星期，回收废品的人走到她的车道上，朝垃圾桶里看了看，摇了摇头，悲伤地走开了——又一次空手而归。）” 和第四段 “Her habit has been passed down to me(她的习惯传给了我)” 可推知，回收利用塑料是作者家族的传统。故选A。 C “More and more data are made available to drivers through in-vehicle systems. However, it’s not safe or practical to inform drivers of the information unless you know the state of the driver,” said Dr Bashar Ahmad from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. Ahmad, together with other researchers, developed an algorithm (算法) to address this problem. The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour, road conditions etc. to measure the driver’s workload so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) could interact at the right time. “Driving in an unfamiliar area may mean a high workload, so we should avoid flustering the driver then, while driving in our neighborhood may involve a lower workload, making it the right time for a message to appear on a screen,” said Ahmad. To measure drivers’ workload, the researchers first collected, in an automated way, drivers’ subjective workload information during driving. For the experiment, a phone showing a route on a navigation app was fixed to the car, next to a small LED ring light that would flash at regular periods. Participants all followed the same route through a mix of rural, urban and main roads. They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation. Video analysis of the experiment, paired with the data from the buttons, allowed the researchers to identify high-workload situations. The researchers used the on-road data to develop a machine learning framework to assess drivers based on their average workload,and a Bayesian filtering approach (贝叶斯滤波法) to estimate the drivers’ real-time workload. “Most machine learning applications like this are trained on data from a particular driver, but this application enables us to adjust the models accordingly using a simple Bayesian filtering technique,” said Ahmad. “It can easily adjust to different road types and conditions, or different drivers using the same car.” “This research is vital for understanding the impact of our design from a user’s perspective, so that we can continually improve safety and driving experiences,” said Senior Technical Specialist Dr Lee Skrypchuk. 46. What is the main function of Ahmad’s algorithm? A. Assessing people’s driving skills. B. Stimulating drivers’ best driving state. C. Collecting traffic information from surrounding areas. D. Finding the appropriate time for driver-vehicle interactions. 47. What does the underlined word “flustering” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Blaming. B. Monitoring. C. Disturbing. D. Restricting. 48. What did pressing a finger-worn button indicate in the experiment? A. The driver requested a speed increase. B. The driver was in a relaxed driving state. C. The driver had switched on the headlights. D. The driver encountered complex road conditions. 49. What distinguishes this machine learning application from many others? A. It is highly adaptable. B. It is of amazing accuracy. C. It needs simple data processing. D. It is limited to specific drivers. 50. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Machine Learning for Improving Road Safety B. ADAS:A Model for Future Autonomous Driving C. The Wide Application of New In-Vehicle Systems D. Autonomous Vehicles: Redefining the Driving Experience 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. B 49. A 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员开发算法以确定驾驶员与车载系统的交互时机。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour, road conditions etc. to measure the driver’s workload so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) could interact at the right time. (该算法分析驾驶员的行为、路况等，以衡量驾驶员的工作负荷，从而使驾驶员和车载系统(如导航系统和高级驾驶员辅助系统)能够在正确的时间进行交互)”可知，Ahmad的算法的主要功能是找到驾驶员与车辆交互的合适时间。故选D。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句““Driving in an unfamiliar area may mean a high workload, so we should avoid flustering the driver then, while driving in our neighborhood may involve a lower workload, making it the right time for a message to appear on a screen,” said Ahmad.(“在不熟悉的地区驾驶可能意味着工作负荷很大，所以我们应该避免flustering驾驶员，而在我们附近驾驶可能意味着工作负荷较低，这是屏幕上出现信息的合适时机”Ahmad说)”可知，前后句为转折关系，后文提到附近驾驶意味着工作负荷较低，是屏幕上出现信息的合适时机，那么前文应是指在不熟悉的地区驾驶可能意味着工作负荷很大，所以要避免打扰驾驶员，因此划线词flustering的意思是“打扰”。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation. (当LED灯变红，并且他们认为自己处于低负荷状态时，他们被要求按下手指佩戴的按钮)”可知，在实验中，按下手指佩戴的按钮表明驾驶员处于放松的驾驶状态。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““Most machine learning applications like this are trained on data from a particular driver, but this application enables us to adjust the models accordingly using a simple Bayesian filtering technique,” said Ahmad.(“大多数像这样的机器学习应用程序都是在特定驾驶员的数据上进行训练的，但这个应用程序使我们能够使用简单的贝叶斯过滤技术相应地调整模型”Ahmad说)”和“It can easily adjust to different road types and conditions, or different drivers using the same car. (它可以很容易地适应不同的道路类型和条件，或者不同的驾驶员使用同一辆车)”可知，这个机器学习应用程序与其他许多应用程序的不同之处在于它具有很高的适应性。故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中““More and more data are made available to drivers through in-vehicle systems. However, it’s not safe or practical to inform drivers of the information unless you know the state of the driver,” said Dr Bashar Ahmad from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. (剑桥大学工程系的巴沙尔·艾哈迈德博士表示：“越来越多的数据正通过车载系统提供给驾驶员。然而，除非你了解驾驶员的状态，否则向他们提供这些信息既不安全也不实际。”)”和第二段中“Ahmad, together with other researchers, developed an algorithm (算法) to address this problem. (Ahmad和其他研究人员一起开发了一种算法来解决这个问题)”以及下文对这种算法的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员开发了一种算法来确定驾驶员与车载系统交互的最佳时间，以提高驾驶安全性和体验，因此本文的最佳标题是A选项“Machine Learning for Improving Road Safety (用于提高道路安全的机器学习)”。故选A。 D Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost - time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. Certainly, the tricky thing about self-reflection is that it can both help and hold us back. While thinking about ourselves can lead to growth, overanalyzing might stop us from taking action, leaving us stuck in thought instead of moving forward. This is like an athlete’s challenge: improving takes practice, not constant self-criticism. Similarly, in life, balance matters—being aware without obsessing, having plans without overthinking. Happiness often comes not from endless analysis, but from mindful action and going with the flow. After all, life’s best moments usually happen unexpectedly, in the gaps between our plans. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sports people need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 51. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 52. In paragraph 3, “athlete’s challenge” and “balance” are mentioned to show that ________. A. too much practice can be bad for athletes’ health and wellbeing. B. overthinking stops action, just as focusing on errors hurts performance C. happy people don’t think about their problems and worries D. successful people make all decisions quickly and effectively 53. What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ineffective. B. Meaningless. C. Constructive. D. Profitable. 54. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 55. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. A 54. B 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了反思性思考在追求个人幸福和成功方面的作用及其局限性。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost - time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop.(闲坐着思考什么能让我们幸福，远不如去追寻那些能让我们幸福的事情来得高效。而且如果我们想得太多，就会产生机会成本——当我们在深入思考发展的最佳方式时，本可以用来做有价值活动的时间就这么流逝了。)”可知，闲坐着思考什么能让我们幸福，远不如去追寻那些能让我们幸福的事情来得高效。而且如果我们想得太多（过度自我反思），就会产生机会成本，即当我们在深入思考发展的最佳方式时，本可以用来做有价值活动的时间就这么流逝了。因此，可能导致机会成本的是陷入过多的自我反思中。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Certainly, the tricky thing about self-reflection is that it can both help and hold us back. While thinking about ourselves can lead to growth, overanalyzing might stop us from taking action, leaving us stuck in thought instead of moving forward. This is like an athlete’s challenge: improving takes practice, not constant self-criticism. Similarly, in life, balance matters—being aware without obsessing, having plans without overthinking. Happiness often comes not from endless analysis, but from mindful action and going with the flow.(当然，自我反思的棘手之处在于它既能帮助我们，也能阻碍我们。虽然思考自我能带来成长，但过度分析可能会阻止我们采取行动，让我们困在思考中而无法前进。这就如同运动员面临的挑战：提升需要练习，而非持续的自我批评。同样，在生活中，平衡很重要——保持清醒的认知但不陷入执念，制定计划但不过度思考。幸福往往并非来自无休止的分析，而是来自用心的行动和顺其自然。)”可知，自我反思既有益也有弊，过度分析会阻碍行动，就像运动员面临的挑战一样，提升需要练习，而不是持续的自我批评。运动员如果过度关注自身错误（类似过度自我反思）而不是专注于练习，就会影响表现。而在生活中平衡很重要，不要过度思考，幸福来自用心的行动和顺其自然，进一步强调了过度思考（类似运动员过度自我批判）会产生不良影响，而适度的行动和思考才是关键。因此，在第三段提到“athlete’s challenge”和“balance”是为了表明过度思考会阻碍行动，就像专注于错误会损害表现一样。故选B。 【53题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“One of his observations is that while sports people need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot.(他的一个观察结果是，虽然运动员需要思考他们正在进行的基本动作，但如果开始思考构成这些动作的要素，可能会……。一名足球运动员需要考虑把球用力低射向守门员的左侧，但无需过度思考能产生这一结果的腿部和脚部精确细微动作的力学原理。如果他或她真的开始进行这种思考过程，往往会导致射门质量变差。)”可知，运动员需要思考基本动作，但如果开始思考构成这些动作的要素，就会导致表现不佳，就像足球运动员如果过度思考腿部和脚部的精确微小动作的机制，往往会导致射门质量下降。由此可推断“counterproductive”意思是“无效的；适得其反的”。选项A“ineffective”，意为“无效的”，与此相符。故选A。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Happiness often comes not from endless analysis, but from mindful action and going with the flow.(幸福往往并非来自无休止的分析，而是来自用心的行动和顺其自然。)”以及最后一段“Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them.(或许在我们的生活中也存在类似的情况。那些开始在各个方面制定详细的自我发展计划的人，关注饮食、习惯、锻炼、思维活动、工作产出等等，就如同那个在思考细微肌肉动作的足球运动员。也许他们对自身发展以及如何实现发展的善意自我反思，恰恰就是让他们永远无法实现高水平发展的原因。)”可推测，过度反思可能会阻碍我们实现幸福和目标，幸福往往来自用心的行动和顺其自然。这意味着作者建议不要陷入过多的思考和分析，而是采用直接行动的方式来实现目标。故选B。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇以苏格拉底的观点引出关于自我反思与幸福的讨论，指出反思态度可能会破坏我们获得幸福的机会。接着阐述了过度自我反思存在机会成本，会阻碍行动。通过 “运动员的挑战”“足球运动员的例子” 等进一步说明过度思考具体动作要素等会适得其反，最后强调那些过度进行自我发展规划、过度自我反思的人可能无法实现高水平发展。整体围绕过度思考（过度自我反思）带来的不良影响展开论述。选项A“The Risk of Overthinking(过度思考的风险)”准确地概括了文章主旨，重点论述了过度思考在追求幸福、实现目标等方面带来的负面作用。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Caring 17-year-old Lauren Schroeder was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community. Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. So she shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. Coming from a farming family, Lauren had some familiarity with agriculture, and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried vegetable cultivation at scale, though the Schroeders plant soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. The work involved in realizing Lauren’s plan was no walk in the park. Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgiving about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work. ” This was one young change-maker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. During Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop. Thanks to her diligence, Lauren planted half an acre of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022, harvesting and weighing her first crops, with a first batch of 18kilograms. In 2023, Lauren doubled the size of her garden to an acre. Discussing her plans, The Washington Post reveals that Lauren would like to grow another 5, 897 kilograms of produce, thus bringing her vegetables to 9, 072 kilograms when it’s time for her to go to college in 2025. In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that’d impact people. I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me most happy.” 56. Why did Lauren Schroeder decide to start a garden on her family farm? (no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined word “misgiving” mean? (no more than 2 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 58. How did Lauren Schroeder carry out her plan? (no more than 20 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. What is the last paragraph mainly about? (no more than 5 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of Lauren? Please give your reason. (no more than 20 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Because she wanted to supply local needy families with fresh vegetables 57. Doubts/Worries 58. She researched online, watered crops daily, checked for weeds and picked crops. 59. Lauren's motivation/goal 60. She is caring and diligent because she helps others and works hard on the garden. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述 17 岁的劳伦・施罗德在食品收容所志愿服务时发现捐赠食品缺乏新鲜蔬菜，于是在自家农场开辟菜园，为有需要的家庭提供新鲜农产品，以及她为此付出的努力和收获的故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据第一段“So she shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. (于是，她向父母表达了在爱荷华州迪克森自家农场的一部分土地上开辟菜园的愿望，为当地有需要的家庭提供新鲜农产品。)”可知，劳伦开辟菜园的原因是想为当地贫困家庭提供新鲜蔬菜，故填 Because she wanted to supply local needy families with fresh vegetables. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段 “Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgiving about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work. ” (起初，尽管为女儿的想法感到骄傲，但她的母亲凯蒂・施罗德承认对所涉及的工作有些misgiving：“我在想，‘哦，天哪，这得花多少功夫啊？’我不确定这是否可行”。)可知, 她的母亲想知道这得花多少功夫啊？以及是否可行。所以“misgiving” 意为 “疑虑 / 担忧”，故填Doubts/Worries。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据第四段“Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. During Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop.

I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me most happy. ”(在接受当地媒体采访时，劳伦说：“我想做一些能影响人们的事情。我想影响社区成员。很多人帮助你，但当你帮助别人时，意义更大。这是我最快乐的事情”。)”可知，最后一段主要讲劳伦的动机或目标，故填 Lauren's motivation/goal. 【60题详解】 考查开放性试题。根据第一段“So she shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. (于是，她向父母表达了在爱荷华州迪克森自家农场的一部分土地上开辟菜园的愿望，为当地有需要的家庭提供新鲜农产品)”可知，劳伦因关心社区贫困家庭而开辟菜园（体现 “caring”）。根据第四段“Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. During Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop.

Here are some important work tips that you can follow to improve your productivity. Focusing on One Task Some people have the habit of multitasking, which is great, but it might distract you from the bigger picture. Multitasking might help you with different tasks. You might also feel like the jack of all trades (万事通) but your productivity won’t increase in the long run. Focus on one task at a time and this will allow you to complete that task with high standards. When the task is done, you can move on to the next one. Setting Small but Effective Goals You will be given large and challenging tasks at work and what matters is how you deal with them. Stress might be the normal response here but you can also play it smart. You can break any large task into small but manageable tasks, which will help you stay productive and will also make the best of time. Think of it like building blocks and you will have to focus on one small task at a time but the end result will be fascinating. Setting Self-Imposed (自己强加的) Deadlines Setting self-imposed deadlines can actually help you be more productive at work Stress is a bad thing, but self-imposed stress can actually help us focus and be better. You can do really well with open-ended tasks or projects once you give yourself a deadline. Stick to that deadline and you will be surprised by the miracles that you can perform at work. Trying Following the “Two-Minute” Rule Steve Olenski is one of the finest entrepreneurs to date and he has given wonderful advice in the shape of the “Two-Minute” Rule. The “Two-Minute” Rule is basically about making the best out of small windows at work. Olenski tells us that if there is a task at work, and you can do it in 2 minutes, then you do it immediately. When you complete that small task, you don’t actually have to waste more time getting back to it, which also increases your productivity. 36. By focusing on one task, you may________. A. feel like the jack of all trades B. finish that task with high standards C. distract yourself from the bigger picture D. reduce your work efficiency 37. What is the author’s suggestion for handling difficult tasks? A. Respond to them tensely. B. Make a plan in advance. C. Break them into manageable ones. D. Focus on the results all the time. 38. You can do well with open-ended tasks or projects if you________. A. learn to take a break B. perform miracles at work C. impose a deadline on yourself D. compare them to building blocks 39. What is TRUE about the “Two-Minute” Rule? A. It involves doing a small task without delay. B. It applies to all kinds of tasks. C. It is criticized by Steve Olenski. D. It requires getting back to tasks. 40. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To share his work experience with the reader. B. To point out the importance of time management. C. To introduce the ways of achieving goals. D. To offer tips on enhancing productivity. B A charity called Hubbub suggests that we take our own plastic containers along when we buy takeaway food. To encourage us, we can get a discount on the food we buy. I agree with every aspect of this, other than that I personally wouldn’t want a discount. I would be only too happy to show off my absolutely world-class Tupperware collection on a daily basis. (Tupperware is a brand known for its line of plastic containers with airtight seals which are designed to keep food fresh for a longer time. ) I will be very pleased to pass on my discount to the customer behind me in the queue. They will want the money to buy themselves some better containers, for once they’ve seen mine, their whole bodies will throb (颤动) with envy. I go back a long way with plastics. My mum is from Croatia, born and raised in a city where plastic products are cherished. The notion of single-use plastics doesn’t really exist there. Just as the Croatian writer Slavenka Drakulié points out in one of her books, nobody has any choice but to be environmentally sound: everything has to be recycled or more accurately, reused. And my mum didn’t leave that habit at home when she came to Britain to meet my dad, have children and set up home in the West Midlands. To this day, my mum’s plastic collection is incomparable. Week after week, the recycling man walks up her drive, peers into the bin, shakes his head and walks away sadly — empty again. Inside, the kitchen shelves are full of plastic bottles and containers. Her habit has been passed down to me. Every time when I try to throw away plastic pots, my hand shakes as they hover over the recycling bin. Disposal seems disloyal to my mum, the planet and everything in between. Now I have transferred all my love to Tupperware. I counted 24 empty examples in various sizes this morning, along with 24 matching lids. Furthermore, at each washing I remove the plastic seals from the lids and clean them separately. If, mysteriously and upsettingly, I can’t find a lid for a tub, or a tub for a lid, the offending piece is put in my widows-and-orphans box. Sometimes a missing tub or lid turns up, and there is an emotional reunion with no small ceremony. These things are important to me. 41. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Hubbub offers free plastic containers to people. B The author is proud of his Tupperware collection. C. Hubbub encourages people to buy takeaway food. D. The author tries to sell his Tupperware at a discount. 42. What do we know about the hometown of the author’s mum? A. It is a place where plastic pollution is serious. B. It is a place where plastic products are expensive. C. It is a place which takes plastic recycling seriously. D. It is a place which consumes lots of single-use plastics. 43. How does the author feel when he tries to throw away plastic pots? A. Relieved. B. Delighted. C. Angry. D. Guilty. 44. What will the author do if he can’t match a lid and a tub? A. He will buy a new pair. B. He will give them to others. C. He will keep them in his storage box. D. He will attempt to find the missing parts. 45. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. recycling plastics is a tradition in author’s family B. the author is keen on collecting plastic products C. the recycling man appreciates the author mom’s life style D. the author throw away her plastic products regularly C “More and more data are made available to drivers through in-vehicle systems. However, it’s not safe or practical to inform drivers of the information unless you know the state of the driver,” said Dr Bashar Ahmad from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. Ahmad, together with other researchers, developed an algorithm (算法) to address this problem. The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour, road conditions etc. to measure the driver’s workload so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) could interact at the right time. “Driving in an unfamiliar area may mean a high workload, so we should avoid flustering the driver then, while driving in our neighborhood may involve a lower workload, making it the right time for a message to appear on a screen,” said Ahmad. To measure drivers’ workload, the researchers first collected, in an automated way, drivers’ subjective workload information during driving. For the experiment, a phone showing a route on a navigation app was fixed to the car, next to a small LED ring light that would flash at regular periods. Participants all followed the same route through a mix of rural, urban and main roads. They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation. Video analysis of the experiment, paired with the data from the buttons, allowed the researchers to identify high-workload situations. The researchers used the on-road data to develop a machine learning framework to assess drivers based on their average workload,and a Bayesian filtering approach (贝叶斯滤波法) to estimate the drivers’ real-time workload. “Most machine learning applications like this are trained on data from a particular driver, but this application enables us to adjust the models accordingly using a simple Bayesian filtering technique,” said Ahmad. “It can easily adjust to different road types and conditions, or different drivers using the same car.” “This research is vital for understanding the impact of our design from a user’s perspective, so that we can continually improve safety and driving experiences,” said Senior Technical Specialist Dr Lee Skrypchuk. 46. What is the main function of Ahmad’s algorithm? A. Assessing people’s driving skills. B. Stimulating drivers’ best driving state. C. Collecting traffic information from surrounding areas. D. Finding the appropriate time for driver-vehicle interactions. 47 What does the underlined word “flustering” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Blaming. B. Monitoring. C. Disturbing. D. Restricting. 48. What did pressing a finger-worn button indicate in the experiment? A. The driver requested a speed increase. B. The driver was in a relaxed driving state. C. The driver had switched on the headlights. D. The driver encountered complex road conditions. 49. What distinguishes this machine learning application from many others? A. It is highly adaptable. B. It is of amazing accuracy. C. It needs simple data processing. D. It is limited to specific drivers. 50. Which can be the best title for the text? A Machine Learning for Improving Road Safety B. ADAS:A Model for Future Autonomous Driving C. The Wide Application of New In-Vehicle Systems D. Autonomous Vehicles: Redefining the Driving Experience D Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek. Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost - time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. Certainly, the tricky thing about self-reflection is that it can both help and hold us back. While thinking about ourselves can lead to growth, overanalyzing might stop us from taking action, leaving us stuck in thought instead of moving forward. This is like an athlete’s challenge: improving takes practice, not constant self-criticism. Similarly, in life, balance matters—being aware without obsessing, having plans without overthinking. Happiness often comes not from endless analysis, but from mindful action and going with the flow. After all, life’s best moments usually happen unexpectedly, in the gaps between our plans. The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sports people need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them. 51. What may cause an opportunity cost? A. Spending time on worthy activities B. Joining in social meetings actively. C. Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D. Doing physical exercises efficiently. 52. In paragraph 3, “athlete’s challenge” and “balance” are mentioned to show that ________. A. too much practice can be bad for athletes’ health and wellbeing. B. overthinking stops action, just as focusing on errors hurts performance C. happy people don’t think about their problems and worries D. successful people make all decisions quickly and effectively 53. What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Ineffective. B. Meaningless. C. Constructive. D. Profitable. 54. What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals? A. Make a comprehensive plan. B. Adopt a direct approach. C. Think carefully before action. D. Attach importance to details. 55. What is a suitable title for this text? A. The Risk of Overthinking B. The Key to Well-being C. The Way to Think Reflectively D. The Method to Develop Yourself 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Caring 17-year-old Lauren Schroeder was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community. Volunteering at a food shelter when she was 14, and tasked with helping fill boxes for households in need with canned and packaged food, this Iowa teen felt that something was missing from the donated groceries: fresh vegetables. So she shared with her parents her desire to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Iowa, to supply local families in need with fresh produce. Coming from a farming family, Lauren had some familiarity with agriculture, and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried vegetable cultivation at scale, though the Schroeders plant soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. The work involved in realizing Lauren’s plan was no walk in the park. Initially, while proud of her daughter’s vision, her mother, Katie Shroeder, admitted having some misgiving about the work involved: “I was wondering, ‘Oh my gosh, how much work is this going to be? ‘ I wasn’t sure whether this would work. ” This was one young change-maker, however! Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required, and when to harvest each crop. During Iowa’s hot summers, she had to water her crops by hand for around 2-3 hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop. Thanks to her diligence, Lauren planted half an acre of land, with 15 varieties of vegetables in 2022, harvesting and weighing her first crops, with a first batch of 18kilograms. In 2023, Lauren doubled the size of her garden to an acre. Discussing her plans, The Washington Post reveals that Lauren would like to grow another 5, 897 kilograms of produce, thus bringing her vegetables to 9, 072 kilograms when it’s time for her to go to college in 2025. In an interview with a local media channel, Lauren says, “I wanted to have something that’d impact people. I want to impact community members. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help others out. That’s what makes me most happy.” 56. Why did Lauren Schroeder decide to start a garden on her family farm?
