B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了GrowNYC组织的免费社区交换活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Contact:部分中“Catherine Crawford, (718) 809-1603”可知，应该拨打(718) 809-1603才能从凯瑟琳那里得到更多的信息。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“Furniture and other large items are not accepted at the swap. (家具和其他大件物品不接受交换。)”可知，家具和其他大件物品在交换中是不可接受的。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“After almost two years without swaps, GrowNYC has set a goal of hosting one swap in each of the city’s 59 community districts each year, providing opportunities to make NYC truly livable-a place where every person can enjoy a healthier life. (在近两年没有交换之后，GrowNYC设定了一个目标，即每年在纽约市的59个社区中每个社区举办一次交换，为纽约市真正的宜居提供机会——一个每个人都能享受更健康生活的地方。)”可知，活动的目的是让纽约成为更适合居住的地方。故选A。 B I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity. It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what’s next. Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day. I’m a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list. But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done? Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke about the energy of frustration (懊恼), but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits. In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it’s about time we should change our focus. We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices. 4. Why is the author’s friend mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To lead in the topic. B. To clarify a definition. C. To present a common phenomenon. D. To share a personal experience. 5. What is the author’s core argument about productivity? A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction. B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements. C. Energy management matters more than time management. D. Strict time management systems are essential for success. 6. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic? A. It wastes time that could be used for work. B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations. C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone. D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life. 7. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work. B. The relationship between energy and creativity. C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management. D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章由朋友咨询时间管理技巧引出话题，论述了精力管理比时间管理更重要，并强调要关注和合理管理精力。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity.(我最近和一位被工作压得喘不过气来的朋友聊了聊。她问我关于时间管理有什么建议。这个问题让我很惊讶。我从来没觉得自己是个有出色时间管理能力的人，主要是因为我倾向于避免严格的效率体系，认为它们会限制创造力)”可知，作者先提及朋友咨询时间管理技巧，随后引出自己对精力管理的看法，所以提及朋友是为了引出文章主题。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy.(直到我们分开我才意识到。我不关注时间管理，而是关注精力管理。在某个时候，我了解到做一件事所花费的时间相对于精力来说是次要的)”可知，作者认为精力管理比时间管理更重要。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, ‘Life force gets trapped in frustration.’ So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits.(他说懊恼是一种容易让人上瘾的情绪，因为它会让我们感到压力。哈德森说：‘生命力被困在了懊恼之中。’所以我在懊恼上花费的大量精力，正困住本可以用于更有用、更有成效、更有创造性追求的生命力)”可知，懊恼会困住本可以用于更有用、更有成效、更有创造性追求的生命力，会阻止人们追求生活中有意义的事情。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices.(我们应该注意我们的精力在一天中是如何变化的，并学习如何创造、使用和保存它。开始这样思考并不难。我们只需要更加了解自己并谨慎做出选择)”可推知，接下来可能会举例说明如何通过自我认知和选择来管理精力。故选D项。 C Sea turtles can survive being struck by a boat — but as they recover, their shells often change shape, bulging (鼓起) from air building up within their bodies, which makes the animals unstable when they swim, resulting in “bubble butt syndrome (泡沫屁股综合征)” , which prevents turtles swimming or diving normally. Typically, turtles with this condition cannot be released back into the ocean. But a “bubble butt” male turtle named Charlotte is now swimming more smoothly at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, thanks to a harness (挽具) built by a 3D printer. It took several years of work, but in a recent fitting, the harness was moved quickly into place. “The staff was super pumped, ” says Alex Pestana, a sales engineer at 3D printing company Formlabs. “We help Charlotte out!” Charlotte passed from the Georgia Sea Turtle Center to the Mystic Aquarium. A male green sea turtle was given the name Bubble Butt at The Turtle Hospital in the Florida Keys shortly after he arrived there in 1989. To help him, they attached 2.5 pounds of lead to his shell. This helped, but it isn’t a permanent solution as the weights move as the animals grow. Bubble Butt died in 2022. But by then, efforts were under way to use 3D printing to help turtles like him. With harnesses like Charlotte’s, weights can be added gradually to assist the animals to adjust. The Turtle Hospital currently has around 15 turtles with bubble butt syndrome, according to Bette Zirkelbach, the hospital’s manager. “People who drive boats should obey speed restrictions, many of which apply in shallower areas,” Zirkelbach says. “In shallow water, animals like sea turtles and dolphins have nowhere to escape from boats — they can’t dive down.” 8. What is the main purpose of the 3D-printed harness for sea turtles like Charlotte? A. To repair their damaged shells. B. To assist them in swimming. C. To help them reduce their weight. D. To prevent air entering their bodies. 9. What does the underlined word “pumped” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Curious. B. Relaxed. C. Grateful. D. Excited. 10. What should we do according to Bette Zirkelbach? A. Avoid boat speeding. B. Build advanced boats. C. Protect bubble butt turtles. D. Change turtles’ living places. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Aquarium Protects Sea Turtles’ Health. B. 3D Printing Enhances Sea Turtles’ Recovery. C. Sea Turtles Beat Bubble Butt with 3D Printing. D. Bubble Butt Affects Sea Turtles’ Swimming. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了一个3D打印公司新开发出的一款3D打印挽具，以帮助患有“泡沫屁股综合征”的海龟可以正常游泳。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But a “bubble butt” male turtle named Charlotte is now swimming more smoothly at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, thanks to a harness (挽具) built by a 3D printer.(但一只名叫夏洛特的“泡沫屁股”雄性海龟现在在康涅狄格州的神秘水族馆里游得更顺畅了，这要归功于一台3D打印机制作的挽具)”及第三段“But by then, efforts were under way to use 3D printing to help turtles like him. With harnesses like Charlotte’s, weights can be added gradually to assist the animals to adjust.(但到那时，人们一直努力使用3D打印来帮助像他这样的海龟。有了夏洛特的这样的安全挽具，重量可以逐渐增加，以帮助动物适应)”可知，3D打印的这种挽具使海龟更顺畅地游泳，其核心目的是辅助游泳。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词下文工程师Alex的引语“We help Charlotte out! (我们帮助到了夏洛特)”可知，此处pumped应表达工作人员因成功安装挽具帮助到受伤海龟，使它可以游泳时的兴奋心情。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““People who drive boats should obey speed restrictions, many of which apply in shallower areas,” Zirkelbach says. “In shallow water, animals like sea turtles and dolphins have nowhere to escape from boats — they can’t dive down.”(“开船的人应该遵守速度限制规定，其中很多规定适用于较浅的水域，”Zirkelbach说道。“在浅水区，像海龟和海豚这样的动物无处躲避船只——它们无法下潜。”)”可知，在浅水区海龟无法潜水，Bette Zirkelbach建议驾船者限速，即避免船超速。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Sea turtles can survive being struck by a boat — but as they recover, their shells often change shape, bulging (鼓起) from air building up within their bodies, which makes the animals unstable when they swim, resulting in “bubble butt syndrome (泡沫屁股综合征)”, which prevents turtles swimming or diving normally.(海龟在被船撞击后可以存活下来——但在它们恢复的过程中，它们的壳经常会变形，由于体内空气积聚而鼓起，这使得它们在游泳时不稳定，从而导致“泡沫屁股综合征”，这使得海龟无法正常游泳或潜水)”以及第二段中“But a “bubble butt” male turtle named Charlotte is now swimming more smoothly at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, thanks to a harness (挽具) built by a 3D printer.(但一只名叫夏洛特的“泡沫屁股”雄性海龟现在在康涅狄格州的神秘水族馆里游得更顺畅了，这要归功于一台3D打印机制作的挽具)”结合文章主要说明了海龟在被船撞击后，会患上“泡沫屁股综合征”，这使得它们无法正常游泳或潜水，而3D打印技术制作的挽具帮助一只名叫夏洛特的海龟恢复正常游泳，这一技术也将继续帮助其他患病海龟。本文聚焦“泡沫屁股综合征”及3D打印挽具的救治方案。标题需涵盖“问题”与“科技解决手段”，故C选项“Sea Turtles Beat Bubble Butt with 3D Printing.(海龟用3D打印技术击败泡沫屁股综合征)”能很好地概括文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选C。 D You lean back from the dinner table, feeling like you physically couldn’t fit another bite. But then someone offers pie and you just can’t say no. Scientists have now identified the neurons (神经元) behind the “dessert stomach” phenomenon. In their study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research found that mice kept eating sugar even when they should have felt full. Investigations of their brains showed that a group of nerve cells, known as the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, became active. These neurons release a chemical called β-endorphin, which acts like a natural reward and makes the mice feel good. As a result, they keep eating sugar despite feeling full. Interestingly, this effect only happens with sugar, not with other types of food like normal meals or fatty snacks. In a follow-up experiment with humans, researchers gave volunteers a sugar drink and found that the same thing happens in the brain as with mice. This suggests that the “dessert stomach” is a real thing for both mice and humans. Why does this happen? According to Henning Fenselau, a scientist who led the study, this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Sugar is rare in nature but provides quick energy. Our brains are programmed to make us want to eat sugar whenever we find it. This might have been helpful in the past because of food shortage, but today it can lead to overeating and health problems. The findings could shed light on treating obesity by providing a thorough understanding of the urge for sugar, and could even lead to potential medical solutions. Developing drugs to block the brain’s reward system for sugar might help people control their cravings (渴望). Yet, it is too soon to say that the full picture has been drawn. Other studies have found that signals from your digestive system could influence why there always seems to be room for a dessert. 12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By describing an eating behaviour. B. By introducing a scientific study. C. By defining a certain term. D. By comparing different eating habits. 13. What is the main function of POMC neurons in the mice’s brains? A. Telling the bodies the mice have eaten enough. B. Managing the desire for fatty and salty foods. C. Creating a reward system to encourage dieting. D. Producing a chemical linked to positive emotions. 14. Why does the author mention that “sugar is rare in nature” in paragraph 4? A. To blame modern food production for health issues. B. To explain the evolutionary basis of sugar cravings. C. To compare natural sugar with artificial sugar. D. To warn people about eating too much sugar. 15. What is suggested in the last paragraph? A. Sugar-blocking drugs should be sold on stores right now. B. Brain activities alone could determine dessert cravings. C. More research is needed before the application of the study. D. Cravings for sugar only occurred in modern times. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。主要以生活化的场景引入并介绍了人类和动物对甜食的 “dessert stomach” 现象的神经科学机制。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You lean back from the dinner table, feeling like you physically couldn’t fit another bite. But then someone offers pie and you just can’t say no. Scientists have now identified the neurons (神经元) behind the “dessert stomach” phenomenon.(你从餐桌上向后靠，感觉自己再也吃不下一口了。但如果有人请你吃派，你就不能拒绝。科学家们现在已经确定了“甜点胃”现象背后的神经元)”可知，作者通过描述“饱餐后仍无法拒绝甜点”这一具体饮食行为引入主题。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These neurons release a chemical called β-endorphin, which acts like a natural reward and makes the mice feel good.(这些神经元释放出一种叫做β-内啡肽的化学物质，它就像一种自然的奖励，让老鼠感觉良好)”可知，POMC神经元的主要功能是释放与积极情绪相关的化学物质β-内啡肽。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“According to Henning Fenselau, a scientist who led the study, this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Sugar is rare in nature but provides quick energy.(领导这项研究的科学家Henning Fenselau表示，从进化的角度来看，这是有道理的。糖在自然界中很罕见，但能快速提供能量)”可知，作者提到“自然界中糖分稀少”是为了从进化角度解释人类对糖的渴望。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yet, it is too soon to say that the full picture has been drawn. Other studies have found that signals from your digestive system could influence why there always seems to be room for a dessert.(然而，现在说事情的全貌已经被描绘出来还为时过早。其他研究发现，消化系统发出的信号可能会影响你为什么总是有吃甜点的空间)”可知，研究尚未完全明确，需进一步探索。即在应用这项研究之前还需要更多的研究。故选C。 第二节 (共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Each day, we face uncertainty around our health, what others think of us, or what soup will be served at lunch. ____16____ Since the early 1990s, psychologists have regarded intolerance for uncertainty (IU) as a character associated with different forms of anxiety and depression. IU doesn’t directly cause all of those conditions, but having a higher intolerance for uncertainty is a common experience that cuts across them. ____17____ It makes them stressed, irritable or anxious and they are motivated to avoid it at all costs, or control their environments to reduce uncertainty as much as possible. This can manifest in overplanning, repeated reassurance or information-seeking and avoiding anything new or unfamiliar. Some with high IU might make lists repeatedly or plan out conversations in their head. People with high IU can also react to events more impulsively in order to resolve uncertainty as quickly as possible. ____18____ For milder discomfort with uncertainty that doesn’t cause significant distress or disruption to life, people can build their own tolerance to uncertainty a little bit each day. ____19____ Then, after experimenting with small exposures to uncertainty, challenge yourself to do other new things-nothing big or scary, just things that are different and will initially feel uncomfortable. ____20____ They can even accept and perhaps embrace uncertainty in day-to-day life. Life will always be full of unknowns. When facing the uncertain, people might feel discomfort, but there’s also a chance to try to feel curious and open. A. Analyze your need for certainty. B. Over time, people can learn to tolerate uncertainty. C. For them, uncertainty is not just unpleasant - it’s intolerable. D. High IU can also affect people’s physical health. E. People with high IU are bothered by even a minor case of uncertainty. F. Seek out opportunities to safely play around the edges of your routines. G. Yet some people react more strongly to these unknowns than others. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了人们对不确定性的不耐受（IU）心理及其影响，以及一些应对不确定性、提高耐受力的建议。 【16题详解】 上文“Each day, we face uncertainty around our health, what others think of us, or what soup will be served at lunch. (每天，我们都会面临健康、他人对我们的看法或午餐吃什么汤等不确定因素。)”说明生活中充满了不确定性；G选项“Yet some people react more strongly to these unknowns than others.(然而，有些人对这些未知的反应比别人更强烈。)”中的these unknowns指代上文提到的各种不确定性，并指出不同人对不确定性的反应程度不同，引出下文对不耐受不确定性（IU）的讨论，符合题意。故选G。 【17题详解】 下文“It makes them stressed, irritable or anxious and they are motivated to avoid it at all costs, or control their environments to reduce uncertainty as much as possible. (这会使他们感到压力、烦躁或焦虑，他们有动力不惜一切代价避免它，或控制自己的环境以尽可能减少不确定性。)”中的“them”指代E选项中的“People with high IU”，说明高IU人群对不确定性的反应；E选项“People with high IU are bothered by even a minor case of uncertainty. (即使是轻微的不确定性，高IU人群也会感到困扰。)”指出了高IU人群对不确定性的敏感程度，符合题意。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“People with high IU can also react to events more impulsively in order to resolve uncertainty as quickly as possible. (高IU人群为了尽快解决不确定性，也会更冲动地对事件做出反应。)”说明高IU人群对不确定性的强烈反应；C选项“For them, uncertainty is not just unpleasant - it’s intolerable. (对他们来说，不确定性不仅仅是不愉快的——它是无法忍受的。)”进一步强调了高IU人群对不确定性的无法忍受，符合题意。故选C。 【19题详解】 上文“For milder discomfort with uncertainty that doesn’t cause significant distress or disruption to life, people can build their own tolerance to uncertainty a little bit each day. (对于不会导致生活显著痛苦或混乱的轻微不确定性不适，人们可以每天一点一点地建立自己对不确定性的容忍度。)”说明人们可以逐渐建立对不确定性的容忍度；F选项“Seek out opportunities to safely play around the edges of your routines. (寻找机会在你的日常生活边缘安全地玩耍。)”中的play around the edges of your routines指的是尝试一些新的、不同于日常的事物，以此来逐渐适应和容忍不确定性，符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“Then, after experimenting with small exposures to uncertainty, challenge yourself to do other new things-nothing big or scary, just things that are different and will initially feel uncomfortable. (然后，在尝试了一些小的、不确定性的暴露之后，挑战自己去做其他新的事情——不是什么大事或可怕的事，只是不同的事情，一开始会让你感到不舒服。)”说明通过逐渐尝试新事物来建立对不确定性的容忍度；B选项“Over time, people can learn to tolerate uncertainty. (随着时间的推移，人们可以学会容忍不确定性。)”总结了前文的内容，指出通过不断尝试和挑战，人们可以逐渐学会容忍不确定性，符合题意。故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I hated writing when I was growing up and it felt like journeying through a confusing jungle.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn't understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show, Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. His fluid movements combining strength and grace drew gasps of admiration. When he demonstrated a dragon-style sequence, the British students clapped enthusiastically. Sensing their genuine interest, Li Ming offered to teach basic stances. In return, they taught him popular dance steps, blending Eastern and Western elements into their performance. Gradually, Li Ming found himself laughing naturally during rehearsals. The cultural exchange dissolved his anxiety, replacing it with collaborative joy. By performance day, their routine had transformed into a vibrant fusion of martial arts and modern dance. After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. Classmates greeted him warmly in corridors, asking about kung fu philosophies. In literature class, group members actively sought his interpretations, patiently listening to his accented English. At lunch breaks, students invited him to join conversations about cultural differences. The once-daunting school parties became opportunities to share Chinese pop songs. Most importantly, Li Ming stopped overthinking every interaction. He realized communication wasn’t about perfection, but sincere effort. Slowly, his initial adventure transformed into meaningful connections built on mutual curiosity and respect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个叫李明的中国交换学生在英国遇到的适应问题，最后他因为参加才艺表演而有机会展示中国功夫。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在练习过程中，这群人对李明的中国功夫感到惊讶。”可知，第一段需要详细描写练习时的情景，比如李明展示功夫的具体动作，英国同学的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“节目结束后，李明注意到一些变化发生了。”可知，第二段可需要展示表演后的积极变化，比如同学们对他的态度转变，主动与他交流，邀请他参加活动，课堂上的参与度提高，以及李明自身心态的变化。 2.续写线索：展示功夫——同学反应——赞叹——变化——互相交流——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.提供：offer/provide ②.发现：find/discover ③.邀请：invite/ask 情绪类 ①.热情地：enthusiastically/passionately ②.喜悦：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity. It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what’s next. Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day. I’m a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list. But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done? Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke about the energy of frustration (懊恼), but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits. In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it’s about time we should change our focus. We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it. It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices. 4. Why is the author’s friend mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To lead in the topic. B. To clarify a definition. C. To present a common phenomenon. D. To share a personal experience. 5. What is the author’s core argument about productivity? A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction. B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements. C. Energy management matters more than time management. D. Strict time management systems are essential for success. 6. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic? A. It wastes time that could be used for work. B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations. C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone. D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life. 7. What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work. B. The relationship between energy and creativity. C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management. D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices. C Sea turtles can survive being struck by a boat — but as they recover, their shells often change shape, bulging (鼓起) from air building up within their bodies, which makes the animals unstable when they swim, resulting in “bubble butt syndrome (泡沫屁股综合征)” , which prevents turtles swimming or diving normally. Typically, turtles with this condition cannot be released back into the ocean. But a “bubble butt” male turtle named Charlotte is now swimming more smoothly at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, thanks to a harness (挽具) built by a 3D printer. It took several years of work, but in a recent fitting, the harness was moved quickly into place. “The staff was super pumped, ” says Alex Pestana, a sales engineer at 3D printing company Formlabs. “We help Charlotte out!” Charlotte passed from the Georgia Sea Turtle Center to the Mystic Aquarium. A male green sea turtle was given the name Bubble Butt at The Turtle Hospital in the Florida Keys shortly after he arrived there in 1989. To help him, they attached 2.5 pounds of lead to his shell. This helped, but it isn’t a permanent solution as the weights move as the animals grow. Bubble Butt died in 2022. But by then, efforts were under way to use 3D printing to help turtles like him. With harnesses like Charlotte’s, weights can be added gradually to assist the animals to adjust. The Turtle Hospital currently has around 15 turtles with bubble butt syndrome, according to Bette Zirkelbach, the hospital’s manager. “People who drive boats should obey speed restrictions, many of which apply in shallower areas,” Zirkelbach says. “In shallow water, animals like sea turtles and dolphins have nowhere to escape from boats — they can’t dive down.” 8. What is the main purpose of the 3D-printed harness for sea turtles like Charlotte? A. To repair their damaged shells. B. To assist them in swimming. C. To help them reduce their weight. D. To prevent air entering their bodies. 9. What does the underlined word “pumped” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Curious. B. Relaxed. C. Grateful. D. Excited. 10. What should we do according to Bette Zirkelbach? A. Avoid boat speeding. B. Build advanced boats. C. Protect bubble butt turtles. D. Change turtles’ living places. 11 What is a suitable title for the text? A. Aquarium Protects Sea Turtles’ Health. B. 3D Printing Enhances Sea Turtles’ Recovery. C. Sea Turtles Beat Bubble Butt with 3D Printing. D. Bubble Butt Affects Sea Turtles’ Swimming. D You lean back from the dinner table, feeling like you physically couldn’t fit another bite. But then someone offers pie and you just can’t say no. Scientists have now identified the neurons (神经元) behind the “dessert stomach” phenomenon. In their study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research found that mice kept eating sugar even when they should have felt full. Investigations of their brains showed that a group of nerve cells, known as the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, became active. These neurons release a chemical called β-endorphin, which acts like a natural reward and makes the mice feel good. As a result, they keep eating sugar despite feeling full. Interestingly, this effect only happens with sugar, not with other types of food like normal meals or fatty snacks. In a follow-up experiment with humans, researchers gave volunteers a sugar drink and found that the same thing happens in the brain as with mice. This suggests that the “dessert stomach” is a real thing for both mice and humans. Why does this happen? According to Henning Fenselau, a scientist who led the study, this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Sugar is rare in nature but provides quick energy. Our brains are programmed to make us want to eat sugar whenever we find it. This might have been helpful in the past because of food shortage, but today it can lead to overeating and health problems. The findings could shed light on treating obesity by providing a thorough understanding of the urge for sugar, and could even lead to potential medical solutions. Developing drugs to block the brain’s reward system for sugar might help people control their cravings (渴望). Yet, it is too soon to say that the full picture has been drawn. Other studies have found that signals from your digestive system could influence why there always seems to be room for a dessert. 12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By describing an eating behaviour. B. By introducing a scientific study. C. By defining a certain term. D. By comparing different eating habits. 13. What is the main function of POMC neurons in the mice’s brains? A. Telling the bodies the mice have eaten enough. B. Managing the desire for fatty and salty foods. C. Creating a reward system to encourage dieting. D. Producing a chemical linked to positive emotions. 14. Why does the author mention that “sugar is rare in nature” in paragraph 4? A. To blame modern food production for health issues. B. To explain the evolutionary basis of sugar cravings. C. To compare natural sugar with artificial sugar. D.

He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn't understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines.
