Indeed, a number of studies have found an association between humour and intelligence. Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance (忧虑) and aggressiveness (攻击性). In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict. This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good coping strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges. Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only make us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables and sustains more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. It also boosts our working memory. Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and aids learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture. Studies of positive organizations suggest the more fun we have at work the more productive we are, and the less likely we are to suffer burn-out. Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students comprehension and recall of the topic. 4. What can we learn from the researchers in Austria? A. People enjoy dark humour most. B. Less funny people are aggressive. C. Funny people are always emotional. D. Humorous people have a brilliant mind. 5. What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3? A. The benefit of laughter. B. The reason of our brain changes. C. The way of being creative in thinking. D. The association of humor and intelligence. 6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolster”? A. Combine. B. Increase. C. Explain. D. Damage. 7. What can be concluded from the research in education? A. Teachers are always humorous in class. B. Students can understand humour better in class. C. Humorous classes are more efficient for students. D. Effective learning depends on students’ humour levels. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幽默与智力的联系，阐述了幽默带来的好处，如有助于处理压力、提升思维能力等，还提及幽默在教育和组织中的积极作用。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. (奥地利的研究人员最近发现，有趣的人，尤其是那些喜欢黑色幽默的人，比那些不太有趣的人智商更高)”可知，奥地利的研究人员发现幽默的人智商更高，也就意味着有更聪明的头脑。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. (有趣的人不仅能让别人发笑，他们自己也笑得更多。而笑会导致大脑发生变化，这可能解释了幽默和智力之间的联系)”可知，作者在第三段主要是通过阐述笑带来的大脑变化，来表明幽默和智力之间的联系。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. (有证据表明，幽默实际上能……自信、能力和地位的感觉，使有趣的人非常有影响力)”以及后文提到幽默带来的积极影响可推知，幽默能增加这些积极的感觉。“bolster”意思是“增加”，与“increase”同义。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students comprehension and recall of the topic. (关于幽默在教育中的应用研究也支持这样一个观点，即幽默是一种有效的学习辅助工具。几项研究表明，用幽默方式授课的课程对学生来说更有趣，也能提高学生对主题的理解和记忆)”可知，幽默是一种有效的学习辅助工具，能提高学生对主题的理解和记忆，所以幽默的课堂对学生来说更有效率。故选C项。 C I don’t remember exactly when my love for second-hand books began, but I remember walking along the footpaths of Kings Circle, where my aunt lived, to make my birthday money stretch further by seeing just how many Agatha Christies I could buy. For many like me, there is a joy that comes from looking through other people’s collections — and often accidentally discovering the kinds of writing you had not known existed. That is, after all, what second-hand bookshops were created for, I think. It was in Literati Bookshop in Goa that I picked up my son Re’s first cookbook — My Learn to Cook Book, originally gifted to a Sherry in 1973 by Aunty Banso and Uncle Keki, going by the inscription (题字) inside. Also written alongside, in a different handwriting, was “Sherry’s first cooking book.” Maybe this was done by Sherry or her parent. I can’t tell. What I can say is that they did have a lot of fun cooking from this book as Re and I did — we made baked potatoes, zoo biscuits and fruit cakes from the recipes inside. Yashasvi Vachhani, a Mumbai-based writer and a second-hand book lover, said, “I once picked up a copy of Embers by Sandor Marai which had notes and thoughts written in green ink on the margin (边缘). The whole experience of reading the book was like having a conversation with the previous reader, agreeing with a few points, and adding my own thoughts. It was a great experience, one I still remember fondly.” The most precious second-hand book experience for me was receiving a copy of a dictionary that my late father-in-law had lovingly saved since it was first gifted to his son in 1980 and then came to mine, 38 years later. “I feel like a part of history, Mamma!” Re said, when he read the inscription inside from his grandfather to his father. He is. We all are when we hold a second-hand book in our hands. 8. Why does the author like visiting second-hand bookshops? A. She is on a very tight budget. B. She is quite into old editions. C. She comes upon unexpected finds. D. It enables her to meet like-minded people. 9. What can we learn about Re’s first cookbook? A. It witnessed much family cooking time. B. It was passed down through generations. C. It recorded Sherry’s cooking journey in detail. D. It was intended as a gift from his aunt and uncle. 10. What can we learn about Yashasvi Vachhani’s experience of reading Embers? A. She shared her thoughts with the previous reader. B. She took pleasure in reading the handwritten notes. C. She tried not to be influenced by the handwritten notes. D. She agreed with just a few points the writer made in the book. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. My idea about book shopping B. Old books: a hidden part of family history C. My passion for reading second-hand books D. Reading: a family tradition that has been passed down 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要通过自己与二手书的多个动人故事，表达了对二手书的深切热爱，展现了它们带来的独特阅读体验和情感价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For many like me, there is a joy that comes from looking through other people’s collections — and often accidentally discovering the kinds of writing you had not known existed. (对于许多像我一样的人来说，翻阅别人的收藏是一种快乐——经常会意外地发现你以前不知道的那种作品)”可知，作者喜欢二手书店的原因是能遇到意外的发现。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“What I can say is that they did have a lot of fun cooking from this book as Re and I did — we made baked potatoes, zoo biscuits and fruit cakes from the recipes inside. (我能说的是，他们确实从这本书中获得了很多烹饪的乐趣，就像我和Re一样——我们根据书中的食谱制作了烤土豆、动物园饼干和水果蛋糕)”可知，这本烹饪书见证了多个家庭的烹饪时光。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Yashasvi Vachhani所说的话“I once picked up a copy of Embers by Sandor Marai which had notes and thoughts written in green ink on the margin (边缘). The whole experience of reading the book was like having a conversation with the previous reader, agreeing with a few points, and adding my own thoughts. It was a great experience, one I still remember fondly. (我曾淘到一本Sandor Marai的《余烬》，书页边缘用绿色墨水写满了批注和感想。阅读这本书的整个过程，就像在与前一位读者对话——我认同某些观点，又添上自己的思考。这是一次美妙的体验，至今回想起来仍让我心生欢喜)”可知，在阅读这本书时，Yashasvi感觉像是在与前一位读者对话，并享受这种体验。这说明她喜欢阅读手写批注。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是全文首句中的“I don’t remember exactly when my love for second-hand books began (我不记得我对二手书的喜爱是什么时候开始的)”和全文末句“We all are when we hold a second-hand book in our hands. (当我们手里拿着一本二手书的时候，我们都是这样)”可知，文章围绕对作者对二手书的热爱展开，讲述了自己淘二手书、发现烹饪书等经历，以及Yashasvi的阅读体验，体现了二手书承载的情感连接。因此，C项“我对阅读二手书的热情”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D Perfectionism and punctuality are often at odds in the workplace. But according to a recent study, it is better to submit a good-enough project on time rather than perfecting it through procrastination. Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. and U.K., including managers and others whose jobs included evaluating others. They presented participants with the same examples of work, and then asked them to rate it. But first, they mentioned whether it was either submitted early, right at the deadline or late. Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. The study also finds there isn’t much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted before and at the deadline as the same quality. Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively and that remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning. A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the version submitted after the deadline received lower grades. That study makes the broader point that it doesn’t really matter who set the deadline. In the eyes of the evaluator, any miss is a meaningful miss. However, the reason behind the missed deadline mattered, researchers found. If it was due to forces beyond an employee’ s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. “That seems to be one of the few instances in which people cut you a break.” 12. What does the underlined word “procrastination” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Editing. B. Delay. C. Co-operation. D. Redrafting. 13. What can be concluded from the research result? A. Submitting work early earns a boost in evaluations. B. Pre-communicated delays lead to positive evaluations. C Minimal delays get better evaluations than long delays. D. Late work is judged more negatively than on-time submissions. 14. What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China? A. The art itself rather than other details counts. B. Kids tend to judge submissions more objectively. C A peer-to-peer evaluation can be an informative tool. D. The research finding holds true across age and culture. 15. What can be implied from the last paragraph? A. A hard deadline is often negotiable. B. Bosses need to care about employees. C. Communication around deadlines is vital. D. The evaluation strategy should be improved. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项研究表明，按时提交一个足够好的项目比通过拖延来完善它会更好，介绍了其研究过程。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。由第一段中“But according to a recent study, it is better to submit a good-enough project on time rather than perfecting it through procrastination. (但根据最近的一项研究，最好按时提交一个足够好的项目，而不是通过procrastination来完善它)”可知procrastination与“按时”形成对比，再结合第三段中“Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. (参与者被告知作品是延迟提交的，其质量会比按时或提前提交的相同作品更差)”讲延迟提交的负面影响。由此猜测，划线词 procrastination应指“拖延（Delay）”。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. (参与者被告知作品是延迟提交的，其质量会比按时或提前提交的相同作品更差)”和“Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively (此外，提交作品的时间有多晚并不重要，一天或一周的延迟被视为负面的)”可知，若参与者被告知作品是延迟提交的，其评价会比按时或提前提交的相同作品更差，此外，无论延迟多久（一天或一周），评价都同样负面。由此可知，迟交的作品比按时提交的作品受到更负面的评价。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the version submitted after the deadline received lower grades. That study makes the broader point that it doesn’t really matter who set the deadline. (尽管孩子们被告知要忽略论文中除艺术本身之外的所有其他细节，但截止日期后提交的版本得分较低。这项研究提出了更广泛的观点，即谁设定最后期限并不重要)”可知，在中国高中的实验中，学生被要求仅根据艺术作品本身评分，但延迟提交的作品仍被评分更低，这说明即使在不同年龄（学生）和文化（中国）背景下，研究结论（延迟提交导致负面评价）依然成立。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中“If it was due to forces beyond an employee’ s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. (如果这是由于员工无法控制的因素造成的，那么评估人员最终对工作的看法就不会像在他们可以控制的情况下那样消极。马格里奥说：“如果你错过截止日期的原因超出了你的控制范围，作为员工，你应该让你的经理知道。”)”可知，若延迟是因不可控因素（如外部原因），评价不会像可控因素（如拖延）那样负面，研究者建议员工应及时告知管理者原因，这说明围绕截止日期的沟通至关重要。故选C项。 E Most people connect running with speed. It is often regarded as an exercise that leaves runners breathless and tired when they finish. On the other hand, when someone runs slowly, they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort. ____16____ Slow jogging, a leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine. ____17____ For a competitive marathon runner, a slow speed will be very different from that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around their neighborhood. Slow jogging can actually be defined as the speed at which you can easily carry on a conversation with someone while running for a long time. If you measure your speed for a five-kilometer race, slow jogging will usually be around two minutes slower per kilometer. ____18____ There are some tips for you to start your slow jogging. ____19____ This includes taking shorter, quicker steps — about 180 per minute — and landing on the mid-foot rather than the heel. Meanwhile, individuals should stand tall while jogging with their back straight and shoulders relaxed. Running is an activity that can be hard on muscles and bones, especially if you keep a consistent speed for a long period. Slowing your speed helps prevent injuries by spreading stress to different areas of your body and reducing the effect on joints. Moreover, slow jogging is a good exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs. ____20____ Perhaps most importantly, jogging at a slower speed allows you to enjoy run more. If you are interested in getting any of these benefits, it’s certainly worth giving slow running a try. A. The idea of “slow” can differ greatly between persons. B. However, different running styles have different benefits. C. It also helps in burning fat more efficiently in your body. D. For most people, this speed is just slightly faster than walking. E. Recovery from slow jogging can last from several days to weeks. F. Despite is slow speed, keeping proper body’s position is important. G. Running at a slow speed might give the impression that time passes more slowly. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了慢跑这一运动方式。 【16题详解】 上文“On the other hand, when someone runs slowly, they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort.(另一方面，当有人跑得慢时，他们可能会觉得自己没有付出足够的努力。)”讲述了慢跑让人没有感觉，后文“Slow jogging, a leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine.(慢跑是一种悠闲的跑步方式，可以成为你日常跑步的有益补充。)”讲述了慢跑这种跑步方式可以成为你日常跑步的有益补充，由此可知，空处与上文形成转折，引出下文，B项“然而，不同的跑步方式有不同的好处。”符合题意。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据下文“For a competitive marathon runner, a slow speed will be very different from that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around their neighborhood.(对于一个有竞争力的马拉松运动员来说，慢速跑与每天只在附近快速慢跑的人有很大不同。)”可知，慢跑对不同的人是有区别的，空处应引出下文，A项““慢”的概念因人而异。”符合题意。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“If you measure your speed for a five-kilometer race, slow jogging will usually be around two minutes slower per kilometer. (如果你测量五公里比赛的速度，慢跑通常每公里慢两分钟左右。)”讲述了慢跑的速度比五公里跑步比赛的速度慢，空处应进一步讲述这种速度比走路快，D项“对于大多数人来说，这个速度只是比走路快一点。”符合题意。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据下文“This includes taking shorter, quicker steps — about 180 per minute — and landing on the mid-foot rather than the heel. Meanwhile, individuals should stand tall while jogging with their back straight and shoulders relaxed.(这包括采取更短、更快的步伐——大约每分钟180步——并用中足而不是脚跟着地。同时，个人在慢跑时应该站直，背部挺直，肩膀放松。)”可知，空处引出下文，与跑步时的身体姿势有关，F项“尽管速度很慢，但保持适当的身体姿势很重要。”符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“Slowing your speed helps prevent injuries by spreading stress to different areas of your body and reducing the effect on joints. Moreover, slow jogging is a good exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs.(放慢速度有助于通过将压力分散到身体不同部位并减少对关节的影响来防止受伤。此外，慢跑是增强心脏和肺部的良好运动。)”讲述了慢跑的好处，空处英语慢跑的其他好处有关，C项“它还有助于在体内更有效地燃烧脂肪。”符合题意。故选C。 二、语法填空（共10小题 满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 BEIJING, April 4 (Xinhua) — The popular U.S. influencer IShowSpeed said in surprise as he was at Shanghai’s Bund area, “This is what China looks like!

Whenever a task was given to her by the teachers she always wanted to do it perfectly. This sense of responsibility made her a favorite among teachers, but it also placed heavy pressure on her shoulders. She feared making mistakes and would often stress over even the smallest of errors. One day, a painting competition was announced at the school. Sara eagerly decided to participate in the competition. Painting had always been one of her favorite hobbies, and she loved the idea of competing. The winner would receive a prize, and while that sounded great, Sara was glad to have the chance to prove herself. However, this time painting didn’t feel fun. Each time she picked up her brush, a heavy feeling of anxiety clouded her thoughts. The fear of not being the best in the competition controlled her. As days passed, it became increasingly difficult for Sara to concentrate. While other participants were making progress, Sara was caught in her thoughts. She couldn’t even decide what to paint. Images of her competitors confidently working on their pieces filled her with a sense of inability. With only two days left before the competition, Sara’s anxiety grew worse. She spent the entire day with negative thoughts, feeling unworthy and untalented. At school, Sara saw her classmates close to finishing their artwork, their laughter and excitement going sharply against her internal struggles. The pressure to perform perfectly had turned into an intense fear that kept her from even picking up a brush. Sara began to doubt her abilities, believing that she couldn’t finish anything well. She felt lost in a cycle of anxiety, and the joy she once found in painting seemed to fade further away. With each passing moment, she questioned whether she should even participate at all, fearing that failure would only prove her worst beliefs in herself. Paragraph 1: Seeing Sara’s trouble, her teacher asked her to come to him and showed her a beautiful glass cup. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Looking at the well-repaired cup and reflecting on her teacher’s words, Sara decided to paint without worrying about perfection. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Seeing Sara’s trouble, her teacher asked her to come to him and showed her a beautiful glass cup. Sara had never seen such a beautiful glass piece before. But suddenly, the cup slipped from her teacher’s hands and broke into pieces. A wave of sadness spread over her face. Her teacher looked at her face and said softly, “Beauty lies in imperfection and welcoming imperfection is an act of self-love and acceptance.” Then he began repairing the cup with golden glue, making it even more beautiful than before and gave the cup to Sara as a gift. Paragraph 2: Looking at the well-repaired cup and reflecting on her teacher’s words, Sara decided to paint without worrying about perfection. As Sara let go of her anxiety, her painting became more beautiful. On the competition day, Sara accidentally spilled water on the painting before submitting it, but instead of panicking, she calmly added raindrops to her artwork, making it even better than before. When the results were announced, Sara won the second prize. She was happy about the result but, more importantly, she learned a valuable lesson: Being perfect all the time isn’t necessary, because beauty lies in imperfection, and accepting small faults makes us human. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Sara参加绘画比赛为线索展开，讲述了一个追求完美的高中生如何在老师的引导下学会接纳不完美，并重新找回创作乐趣的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看到萨拉的困扰，老师把她叫到身边，向她展示了一个精美的玻璃杯。”可知，第一段需描写杯子摔碎后老师用金缮修复的过程，重点突出"不完美之美"的启示。 ②由第二段首句内容“凝视着精心修复的杯子，回味着老师的教诲，萨拉决定放下对完美的执念，尽情作画。”可知，第二段需呈现她如何将感悟转化为行动，并在比赛中意外创造新意境。 2. 续写线索：参加绘画比赛——感到焦虑，无法专注——老师展示完美杯子——意外破碎——金缮修复——领悟哲理——放松创作——意外失误——即兴改良——获奖感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①修复：repair/mend/fix ②自由创作：paint freely/let the brush flow/create without restraint ③提交：submit/hand in ④交给：give/hand over 哲理类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②自我接纳：self-acceptance/embrace oneself ③开心：happy/delighted ④惊慌：panic/terror 【点睛】【高级句型1】Then he began repairing the cup with golden glue, making it even more beautiful than before and gave the cup to Sara as a gift.

Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people have higher intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance (忧虑) and aggressiveness (攻击性). In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships and reduce conflict. This type of humour is associated with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good coping strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges. Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only make us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables and sustains more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. It also boosts our working memory. Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and aids learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture. Studies of positive organizations suggest the more fun we have at work the more productive we are, and the less likely we are to suffer burn-out. Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students comprehension and recall of the topic. 4. What can we learn from the researchers in Austria? A. People enjoy dark humour most. B Less funny people are aggressive. C. Funny people are always emotional. D. Humorous people have a brilliant mind. 5. What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3? A. The benefit of laughter. B. The reason of our brain changes. C. The way of being creative in thinking. D. The association of humor and intelligence. 6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolster”? A. Combine. B. Increase. C. Explain. D. Damage. 7. What can be concluded from the research in education? A. Teachers are always humorous in class. B. Students can understand humour better in class. C. Humorous classes are more efficient for students. D. Effective learning depends on students’ humour levels. C I don’t remember exactly when my love for second-hand books began, but I remember walking along the footpaths of Kings Circle, where my aunt lived, to make my birthday money stretch further by seeing just how many Agatha Christies I could buy. For many like me, there is a joy that comes from looking through other people’s collections — and often accidentally discovering the kinds of writing you had not known existed. That is, after all, what second-hand bookshops were created for, I think. It was in Literati Bookshop in Goa that I picked up my son Re’s first cookbook — My Learn to Cook Book, originally gifted to a Sherry in 1973 by Aunty Banso and Uncle Keki, going by the inscription (题字) inside. Also written alongside, in a different handwriting, was “Sherry’s first cooking book.” Maybe this was done by Sherry or her parent. I can’t tell. What I can say is that they did have a lot of fun cooking from this book as Re and I did — we made baked potatoes, zoo biscuits and fruit cakes from the recipes inside. Yashasvi Vachhani, a Mumbai-based writer and a second-hand book lover, said, “I once picked up a copy of Embers by Sandor Marai which had notes and thoughts written in green ink on the margin (边缘). The whole experience of reading the book was like having a conversation with the previous reader, agreeing with a few points, and adding my own thoughts. It was a great experience, one I still remember fondly.” The most precious second-hand book experience for me was receiving a copy of a dictionary that my late father-in-law had lovingly saved since it was first gifted to his son in 1980 and then came to mine, 38 years later. “I feel like a part of history, Mamma!” Re said, when he read the inscription inside from his grandfather to his father. He is. We all are when we hold a second-hand book in our hands. 8. Why does the author like visiting second-hand bookshops? A. She is on a very tight budget. B. She is quite into old editions. C. She comes upon unexpected finds. D. It enables her to meet like-minded people. 9. What can we learn about Re’s first cookbook? A. It witnessed much family cooking time. B. It was passed down through generations. C. It recorded Sherry’s cooking journey in detail. D. It was intended as a gift from his aunt and uncle. 10. What can we learn about Yashasvi Vachhani’s experience of reading Embers? A. She shared her thoughts with the previous reader. B. She took pleasure in reading the handwritten notes. C. She tried not to be influenced by the handwritten notes. D. She agreed with just a few points the writer made in the book. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. My idea about book shopping B. Old books: a hidden part of family history C. My passion for reading second-hand books D. Reading: a family tradition that has been passed down D Perfectionism and punctuality are often at odds in the workplace. But according to a recent study, it is better to submit a good-enough project on time rather than perfecting it through procrastination. Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. and U.K., including managers and others whose jobs included evaluating others. They presented participants with the same examples of work, and then asked them to rate it. But first, they mentioned whether it was either submitted early, right at the deadline or late. Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. The study also finds there isn’t much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted before and at the deadline as the same quality. Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively and that remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning. A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the version submitted after the deadline received lower grades. That study makes the broader point that it doesn’t really matter who set the deadline. In the eyes of the evaluator, any miss is a meaningful miss. However, the reason behind the missed deadline mattered, researchers found. If it was due to forces beyond an employee’ s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. “That seems to be one of the few instances in which people cut you a break.” 12. What does the underlined word “procrastination” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Editing. B. Delay. C. Co-operation. D. Redrafting. 13. What can be concluded from the research result? A. Submitting work early earns a boost in evaluations. B. Pre-communicated delays lead to positive evaluations. C. Minimal delays get better evaluations than long delays. D. Late work is judged more negatively than on-time submissions. 14. What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China? A. The art itself rather than other details counts. B. Kids tend to judge submissions more objectively. C. A peer-to-peer evaluation can be an informative tool. D. The research finding holds true across age and culture. 15. What can be implied from the last paragraph? A. A hard deadline is often negotiable. B. Bosses need to care about employees. C. Communication around deadlines is vital. D. The evaluation strategy should be improved. E Most people connect running with speed. It is often regarded as an exercise that leaves runners breathless and tired when they finish. On the other hand, when someone runs slowly, they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort. ____16____ Slow jogging, a leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine. ____17____ For a competitive marathon runner, a slow speed will be very different from that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around their neighborhood. Slow jogging can actually be defined as the speed at which you can easily carry on a conversation with someone while running for a long time. If you measure your speed for a five-kilometer race, slow jogging will usually be around two minutes slower per kilometer. ____18____ There are some tips for you to start your slow jogging. ____19____ This includes taking shorter, quicker steps — about 180 per minute — and landing on the mid-foot rather than the heel. Meanwhile, individuals should stand tall while jogging with their back straight and shoulders relaxed. Running is an activity that can be hard on muscles and bones, especially if you keep a consistent speed for a long period. Slowing your speed helps prevent injuries by spreading stress to different areas of your body and reducing the effect on joints. Moreover, slow jogging is a good exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs. ____20____ Perhaps most importantly, jogging at a slower speed allows you to enjoy run more. If you are interested in getting any of these benefits, it’s certainly worth giving slow running a try. A. The idea of “slow” can differ greatly between persons. B. However, different running styles have different benefits. C. It also helps in burning fat more efficiently in your body. D. For most people, this speed is just slightly faster than walking. E. Recovery from slow jogging can last from several days to weeks. F. Despite is slow speed, keeping proper body’s position is important. G. Running at a slow speed might give the impression that time passes more slowly. 二、语法填空（共10小题 满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 BEIJING, April 4 (Xinhua) — The popular U.S. influencer IShowSpeed said in surprise as he was at Shanghai’s Bund area, “This is what China looks like!
