As a freelance(自由职业的)writer,the structure of my workday can often vary wildly.
Sometimes,it feels as if I have too much to do-other days,too little.Yet no matter the shape of my
9 to 5,one thing remains constant:emails.
About a year ago,I found my email-checking nabit had become more distracting than usual.
When working on my computer.I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails
whenever hitting a mental block.Even worse,during lunch or walks,that habit of checking would
come with me,making my breaks an extension of the workday.
The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a.marker of my professional image:the faster I
responded,the more I was seen as reliable by my paymasters.By responding to everyone
immediately,I convinced myself I could secure more work-after all,I needed to pay my electricity
bills.
However,speed didn't always mean quality.I took on too much work,not allowing myself
space to reflect on the value of my output.The content machine kept running,and I was busy
producing“word salad”onto the internet.
After a particularly crazy week of non-stop emailing,I deleted the email app.The difference
was immediately noticeable.I began to rest better.Now,my workdays remain unpredictable,but
I've realized that a lack of structure wouldn't stop me from setting boundartes for myself.
Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I return to work.Taking a few hours to respond to
messages-instead of just minutes-often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to
digest requests properly.
I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry,but now I can spend my time
endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead.
4.How did the email-checking habit affect the author?
A.It kept him extremely impatient.
B.It made him stressful and burdened.
C.It changed the structure of his work.

For more than a decade,a team of researchers have studiea the dynamics of the Greenland Ice
Sheet as it responds to a warming climate.But while much of their focus has been on waters
impacts on ice sheet change,their most recent research findings nave overturned the order of their
thinking.Meierbachtol,Harper and their team discovered that changes in the ice sheet have a real
impact on the massive groundwater system underlying Greenland.
This latest discovery occurred thanks to a marriage of drilling techniques.International
cooperators made an angled hole 650 meters through bedrock underneath a Greenland glacier()
to measure groundwater conditions under the ice.Meanwhile,researchers drilled 32 holes from atop
the glacier,through nearly a kilometer of ice,to measure water conditions at the area between ice
and bedrock,which forms an important boundary controlling groundwater flow below.After drilling,
the team fixed sensors in the ice column and at the ice sheet bed to measure ice dynamics and water
conditions as water flows under the ice.
"By studying areas covered by ice 10,000 years ago,we have known that the huge mass and
vast amounts of water from melting ice can impact the underlying groundwater,"Meierbachtol said.
"It's generally accepted that the groundwater is sleeping over decades to centuries and its response
to ice sheet change is long:thousands of years.But what we've shown here is that it is immediate."
This new understanding could have important subsequent effects on how Greenland's thinning
impacts the Arctic.The thinning ice could reduce the rate of groundwater flow to the ocean,
changing the water temperature and salinity (balance that is important for ocean circulation
(patterns."In thinking about the complex feedbacks from Greenland's ongoing change,we
have really ignored the groundwater component,"Harper said.
8.How do the researchers feel about the result of the recent studv?
A.Surprised.
B.Doubtful.
C.Satisfied.
D.Disappointed.

9.What contributes most to the new research about the Greenland Ice Sheet?
A.Joint efforts from global experts.
B.Advanced sensors tracking ice dynamics.
C.Ideal bedrock stability for measurements.
D.A combination of two drilling approaches
10.What is a misunderstanding of the groundwater under glaciers?
A.Its component is complex.
B.It is inactive for a long time.
C.It has a very large volume.
D.Its temperature is changeable.
11.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Long-lasting effects of global warming on the arctic.
B.Water impacts on the Greenland's permanent ice sheet.
C.Newly discovered groundwater resources in Greenland.
D.Greenland's groundwater changes with thinning ice sheet.

A comn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots,but some varieties,
including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S.,appear to have lost part of that
ability,according to a Stanford-led studv.With climate change increasing droughts,the findings
hold potential for developing more drought-resistant varieties of corn.
The study,published in the journal Science,.uncovers genetic mechanisms(遗传机制)behind
"hydropatterning",or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil.In
particular,the researchers discovered that ethylene,a plant hormone known to help bananas
ripen,also influences how roots grow to seek water.
For this study,the researchers developed a new,simplified way to study water sensitivity in
roots.They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at
making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas.In contrast,the varieties adapted to
moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between
dry and wet areas in the soil.
"Interestingly,the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper
root systems,"said lead author Johannes Scharwies."One idea is that if the plant doesn't waste time
growing root branches into places where it doesn't find any water and nutrients,then it has more
energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely."
Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones,auxin and ethylene,play a role in how corn roots
respond to water.While auxin was already known to help control this process,ethylene's
involvement was a new discovery.In experiments with thale cress-a model plant often used in
research-the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water,
while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air.
Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before

corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems,but the findings highlight
the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips,researchers said.
12.What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study?
A.Drought-resistant corn varieties.
B.Ethylene's effect on fruit ripening.
C.Genetic regulation of root branching.
D.Impact of climate change on plant roots
13.What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies'remarks?
A.Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth.
B.Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems.
C.Root branching conserves energy for higher production.
D.Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth
14.What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A.Model plants in research.
B.Hormones'role in root growth.
C.Genetic analysis methods.
D.Findings of previous research.
15.What does the last paragraph suggest future research do?
A.Prioritize development of new corn varieties.
B.Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions.
C.Concentrate merely on localized root responses.
D.Expand practical applications of hydropatterning.

Creative writing has no written formula()and no strict laws.16 Therefore,we
have more freedom to express ideas,thoughts and imagination in creative writing.But it doesn't
mean creative writing needs no techniques.Follow these tips if you want to boost your creativity
and improve the way you write.
●
Always be writing.
1-You never know what will inspire your writing.Keep a notepad or download a
notes app to your personal device so you can record any ideas you have.
●Embrace rewriting.
Even the greatest writer rarely gets it right in the first draft.18Or,in some cases,start
over.Storytelling and word building take a lot of time and thought,and only through rewriting will
you be able to craft a version that works best.
●Know your audience.
Ask yourself whether this story is for your creative writing students or a wider population.
Maybe you are a novelist with a specific readership.Mavbe you are an academic writer trying to
break into the young adult market.19 It's essential to know your audience,narrow down
the tone and work in ways that appeal to your target audience.
●Show Don't Tell.

your readers!20 Let them see,hear,feel and smell.Show them what is happening through
details,facial expressions and images,rather than simply telling them.
A.Make them feel amused by your story.
B.It is all about originality and creativity.
Anyone can make great creative writing.
D.Give them a vivid picture of what you have created.
E.Don't be afraid to reedit and erase what doesn't work.
F.Don't ignore the random ideas that pop into your head.
G.It's rare for a piece of writing to appeal to all the people.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ethan had always lived by checklists-precise and detailed.At school,he double-checked
his answers,rewrote notes in perfect handwriting,and organized his pens by size and color.But the
world often refused to follow his plan.A missed question,a group project gone off track,or even a
messy desk could send him into hours of self-blame.
During a school event,he was struck by what was advertised on the poster of a pottery class,
"Join us.Create,relax,and just be yourself."He eagerly signed up,hoping it might ease the anxiety
that had wrapped him around for long.
On the first day of their pottery workshop,Ethan arrived earlier,and spent almost an hour
arranging and rearranging all the tools,the wheel,carving knives,brushes,and measuring cups...He
carefully lined them up like surgical instruments.He had even watched twelve instructional videos
the night before,determined to get everything right.Yet somehow,his third attempt at a simple bowl
that day still exploded in the kiln ()
Maybe the shape was not right,Ethan thought.Ms.Alvarez,their instructor,approached
Ethan and said with a warm smile,"Beginner's tip.Don't worry about making it perfect."Ethan
froze.The word"Perfect"hung in the air,sharp and cold.He wanted to explain,to say that "perfect"
was the only way he knew how to feel safe.But the words stayed inside.
Around him,the others were making uneven(歪歪扭扭的)bowls and plates with
funny-looking curves.Some were even laughing at their own"disasters".No one seemed to mind
getting it wrong.Ethan looked down at his hands,still lightly dusted with clay ()For a
moment,he just stared,and then realized maybe "not being perfect"wasn't as scary as he had
always thought.He let out a small,hesitant smile,turned back to the soft clay on his table,and
began shaping it-ready for a fourth attempt.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

"Forget about making it perfect."Ms.Alvarez's words gently landed beside him

Dear Mr.Wilson,
I hope this email finds you well.I'm excited to hear about your upcoming elective course on
campus ecological photography.
I would like to recommend a theme for your "Campus Ecological Photography"course:"The
Beauty of Spring on Campus."This theme will allow students to capture the vibrant spring scenery,
blooming flowers,and fresh greenery around our campus,developing a deeper connection with nature.For
the exhibition,I suggest showcasing the best photographs in the school hall and organizing a digital
display on the school's website.Additionally,an online gallery could be created to share the students'work
with the wider community,encouraging discussions about campus biodiversity.
Thank you for considering these ideas.I'm sure the course will inspire many students to love
photography!
Best regards,
Li Hua

"Forget about making it perfect."Ms.Alvarez's words gently landed beside him.Hearing this,Ethan
hesitated,then closed his notebook and let his fingers press into the clay with no checklist.His hands
worked clumsily at first,but soon the rhythm of shaping took over,each motion less about worry and more
about exploration.Halfway through,Ethan pressed too hard while shaping-the curve got a little uneven.
He glanced at Ms.Alvarez,remembering her gentle voice.Just this once,he decided not to start over.Ms.
Alvarez watched him,offering gentle encouragement.With her guidance,Ethan carefully placed his newly
formed clay piece into the kiln.
“Noy,”MR.Alvarez said to Ethan1 ith a smile,“let31wait.”He stepped back from the warm glow
of the kiln,a sense of quiet anticipation settling within him.It wasn't the anxiety about perfection,but a
quiet curiosity about what might emerge.When the kiln finally cooled and the pieces were revealed,Ms.
Alvarez came over,pride shining in her eyes."Beautiful work,Ethan.""Thank you...for reminding me it
didn't have to be perfect,"Ethan murmured,his lips curling into a small,relieved smile.The bowl was far
from perfect.But it held its shape and was unique.For once,he didn't feel the urge to fix it,to start over,to
make it match some invisible standard.Ethan felt a strange lightness,as if the weight of all his checklists
had finally lifted.
