For those passionate about wildlife, several programs present opportunities for involvement: ◆Animal Rescue Project, South Africa: Engage alongside experienced conservationists in Cape Town, solving the challenge of finding new homes for homeless dogs and cats. The project involves an animal hospital equipped to cater to their medical needs and an adoption center dedicated to finding them permanent homes. Due to financial pressure, the center relies heavily on volunteers to handle daily tasks and provide hands-on care for these animals. ◆Sea Turtle Conservation Project, Sri Lanka: Witnessing a decline in sea turtle populations due to various commercial activities, this project focuses on supporting hatcheries (孵化场) in their conservation efforts. Participation in the Sea Turtle Conservation Project in Sri Lanka supports hatcheries in their conservation efforts, including providing financial assistance. Your participation not only aids in providing financial support to these hatcheries but also contributes to the sustainability of sea turtle populations. ◆Wildlife Conservation Program, Australia: Immerse yourself in activities such as animal care and facility maintenance, offering an incredible opportunity to gain first-hand international work experience. This program also serves as an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful contribution while developing connections with like-minded individuals from across the globe. ◆Marine Conservation Program Bali: Set in Tianyar, where coral reef degradation (退化) threatens the ecosystem, this initiative aims to restore and conserve the reef to ensure a sustainable future for the local community and marine life. 1.

The availability of luxurious accommodations for volunteers. C. The opportunity to engage in international work experience. D. The focus on research projects studying various animal species. B The National Union for Debtors has agreed with Morehouse College to cancel up to $10 million in student debt. This will take great stress off nearly 3,000 Morehouse College graduates. The Debt organization has taken the brave step of beginning to tell graduates that their student debts are now to zero. This unusual action lies in the ongoing student debts, especially on black students. Andrew Douglas, a political science professor at Morehouse College, caught hold of the opportunity to solve the problem, encouraged by Robert Smith, who paid off the debt of his entire graduating class in 2019. For two and a half years, Douglas worked with the Debt organization, a trade union that supports debtors’ rights. Together, they developed a plan to cancel nearly $10 million in student debt. The effect of this move is huge, offering new economic freedom to graduates. For example, Jarrell Billups, one of the 2,800 lucky students of this debt relief, no longer needs to pay Morehouse College over $15,000. Billups at first couldn’t believe the news, nearly hanging up the phone when told of the life-changing news. This debt relief comes at a key time. The students were allowed to put off loan (贷款) repayments, but now the measure has been canceled. Graduates, who have been short of money, are now being asked to start repaying their loans. The process of debt relief was pushed by an organization, where Morehouse College sold the debt to collectors for a little part of its original value, only for the Debt Collective to cancel it entirely. Importantly, this action doesn’t need any paperwork for those who graduated in fall 2022 or earlier, and some suitable accounts date back to the 1990s. Douglas is determined to spread this way to help students at other colleges and hopes for increased government support to deal with the student debt problem. 4. What inspired Andrew Douglas to do the good action for the students? A. A kind-hearted person. B. The wish of students in debt. C. Black students in difficult situations. D. The difficulty graduates have in finding jobs. 5. Which saying matches this debt relief for students? A. Out of debt, out of danger B. To offer firewood in snowy weather. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. A good word is warm in three winters. 6. What does Douglas plan to do in the future? A. Sell students’ debts to collectors. B. Provide free university education. C. Call on officials to cancel debts. D. Benefit more college students in debt. 7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To argue that all colleges should sell their student debts to collectors. B. To explain how students can apply for student loan repayment. C. To criticize the government for failing to solve the student debt problem. D. To report on the student debt cancellation initiative at Morehouse College. C Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment. No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization. 8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. People benefit from sticking with a plan. B. People’s consumption view has changed. C. People refuse to give up the past commitment. D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive. 9. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip? A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss. C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves. 10. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur? A. When we don’t follow through our choices. B. When we attach more importance to potential gains. C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions. D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. D Many people have participated in lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise. In the study, 602 participants were randomly paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also randomly selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by assessing their total number of ideas, as well as those concepts’ degree of novelty, and asked to submit their best idea. Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ determination to urge or require their employees to come back to the office. “We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interactions for idea generation.” When random objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than letting their look wander about the room and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing one’s whole environment and noticing the random objects were associated with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. Our look wavers less. “Looking away might come across as rude,” said Brucks, “so we have to look at the screen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldn’t walk to another room while talking to someone in person.” Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught in the past three years, and she did notice some advantages of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom. Brucks found that one solution to improving virtual idea generation might be to simply turn off the camera, for her students felt “freer” and more creative when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace. Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a compromise — a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office. 12. What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Shake. B. Revise. C. Challenge. D. Strengthen. 13. At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ______. A. creative ideas may emerge from casual thoughts B. the feedback from companies seems questionable C. participants should make eye contact in an online meeting D. videoconferencing can’t compare with in-person communication 14. What can we learn about Brucks’ class? A. Her students relieve anxiety by speaking up. B. Her students progressed in focusing attention. C Her students benefited from virtual learning. D. Her students displayed talent for public speaking. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity B. Grouping Randomly Increases Productivity C. Maintaining Teamwork Improves Idea Generation D. Interacting Virtually Impacts Working Participation 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。 Happiness is considered very important in life.

Participation in the Sea Turtle Conservation Project in Sri Lanka supports hatcheries in their conservation efforts, including providing financial assistance. Your participation not only aids in providing financial support to these hatcheries but also contributes to the sustainability of sea turtle populations.(由于各种商业活动导致海龟数量下降，该项目重点支持孵化场的保护工作。参与斯里兰卡的海龟保护项目支持孵化场的保护工作，包括提供财政援助。您的参与不仅有助于为这些孵化场提供财政支持，也有助于海龟种群的可持续发展)”可知，斯里兰卡海龟保育计划协助海龟保育的主要方法是通过提供资金帮助支持孵化场。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Wildlife Conservation Program, Australia:部分“Immerse yourself in activities such as animal care and facility maintenance, offering an incredible opportunity to gain first-hand international work experience.(让自己沉浸在动物护理和设施维护等活动中，这为您提供了一个获得第一手国际工作经验的绝佳机会)”可知，获得国际工作经验的机会使澳大利亚的野生动物保护计划对参与者有吸引力。故选C项。 B The National Union for Debtors has agreed with Morehouse College to cancel up to $10 million in student debt. This will take great stress off nearly 3,000 Morehouse College graduates. The Debt organization has taken the brave step of beginning to tell graduates that their student debts are now to zero. This unusual action lies in the ongoing student debts, especially on black students. Andrew Douglas, a political science professor at Morehouse College, caught hold of the opportunity to solve the problem, encouraged by Robert Smith, who paid off the debt of his entire graduating class in 2019. For two and a half years, Douglas worked with the Debt organization, a trade union that supports debtors’ rights. Together, they developed a plan to cancel nearly $10 million in student debt. The effect of this move is huge, offering new economic freedom to graduates. For example, Jarrell Billups, one of the 2,800 lucky students of this debt relief, no longer needs to pay Morehouse College over $15,000. Billups at first couldn’t believe the news, nearly hanging up the phone when told of the life-changing news. This debt relief comes at a key time. The students were allowed to put off loan (贷款) repayments, but now the measure has been canceled. Graduates, who have been short of money, are now being asked to start repaying their loans. The process of debt relief was pushed by an organization, where Morehouse College sold the debt to collectors for a little part of its original value, only for the Debt Collective to cancel it entirely. Importantly, this action doesn’t need any paperwork for those who graduated in fall 2022 or earlier, and some suitable accounts date back to the 1990s. Douglas is determined to spread this way to help students at other colleges and hopes for increased government support to deal with the student debt problem. 4. What inspired Andrew Douglas to do the good action for the students? A. A kind-hearted person. B. The wish of students in debt. C. Black students in difficult situations. D. The difficulty graduates have in finding jobs. 5. Which saying matches this debt relief for students? A. Out of debt, out of danger B. To offer firewood in snowy weather. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. A good word is warm in three winters. 6. What does Douglas plan to do in the future? A. Sell students’ debts to collectors. B. Provide free university education. C. Call on officials to cancel debts. D. Benefit more college students in debt. 7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To argue that all colleges should sell their student debts to collectors. B. To explain how students can apply for student loan repayment. C. To criticize the government for failing to solve the student debt problem. D. To report on the student debt cancellation initiative at Morehouse College. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了莫尔豪斯学院与全国债务人联盟达成协议，取消近3000名毕业生高达1000万美元的学生债务，为毕业生带来新的经济自由，同时介绍了债务减免的过程和影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Andrew Douglas, a political science professor at Morehouse College, caught hold of the opportunity to solve the problem, encouraged by Robert Smith, who paid off the debt of his entire graduating class in 2019.(莫尔豪斯学院政治学教授安德鲁·道格拉斯抓住了解决问题的机会，受到了罗伯特·史密斯的鼓励，后者在2019年偿还了整个毕业班的债务)”可知，罗伯特·史密斯为毕业班全班同学还清了债务，这激励了道格拉斯。由此可知，是一个善良的人鼓励了安德鲁·道格拉斯为学生们做了这件好事。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“This debt relief comes at a key time. The students were allowed to put off loan (贷款) repayments, but now the measure has been canceled. Graduates, who have been short of money, are now being asked to start repaying their loans.(这项减免债务的政策来得正是时候。此前学生们被允许推迟偿还贷款，但如今这项措施已被取消。一直囊中羞涩的毕业生们，现在正被要求开始偿还贷款)”以及后文所举例子可知，这次债务减免是在学生们正需要经济帮助的时候进行的，对他们来说意义重大。所以B选项“To offer firewood in snowy weather.(雪中送炭)”与这次债务减免的意义相符。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Douglas is determined to spread this way to help students at other colleges and hopes for increased government support to deal with the student debt problem.(道格拉斯决心将这种方式推广到其他学院，以帮助那里的学生，并希望政府增加支持，以解决学生债务问题)”可知，道格拉斯计划未来让更多的大学生从债务减免中受益。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The National Union for Debtors has agreed with Morehouse College to cancel up to $10 million in student debt. This will take great stress off nearly 3,000 Morehouse College graduates.(全国债务人联盟已同意与莫尔豪斯学院取消高达1000万美元的学生债务。这将减轻近3000名莫尔豪斯学院毕业生的巨大压力)”以及全文内容可知，作者写这篇文章主要是为了报道莫尔豪斯学院的学生债务减免计划，包括债务减免的金额、受益人数、债务减免的过程和影响等。故选D项。 C Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment. No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization. 8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. People benefit from sticking with a plan. B. People’s consumption view has changed. C. People refuse to give up the past commitment. D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive. 9. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip? A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss. C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves. 10. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur? A. When we don’t follow through our choices. B. When we attach more importance to potential gains. C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions. D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“沉没成本谬误”这一心理现象，通过调查实验分析其成因，解释了人们为何会因过去的投入而难以放弃某个计划或选择，即使该计划或选择已不再合理，并探讨坚持的利弊，指出有时放弃是更明智的选择。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论).(你的衣柜里有没有一套多年没穿过但又不愿意扔掉的西装或连衣裙？也许你会说：“我不能把它扔掉，因为我花了很多钱买的。”如果你在自己身上发现了这种情况，那你就陷入了‘沉没成本谬误’的执念中。)”可知，作者在文章开头描述了人们拒绝放弃过去的投入这一现象。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.(结果显示，尽管合理的选择是威斯康星州，但仍有54%的人选择了密歇根州，因为他们最初的投入更大)”可知，54%的参与者选择密歇根州滑雪之旅是因为他们最初的投入更大，他们想减少损失。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered.(当我们让情绪影响我们的决定时，就会产生沉没成本谬论。一旦我们对一个选择进行了投资，如果我们不坚持到底，我们就会感到内疚或后悔，却没有意识到过去的投资是无法收回的)”可知，当我们从情感上坚持已经做出的投资时，就会出现“沉没成本谬误”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.(没有人能否认我们从坚持中获益匪浅。所以我们的社会喜欢强调坚持。永不放弃！不要浪费！但只有你知道什么是对的路。有时候，离开是最难的选择。你可能会意识到你所走的路不再是正确的，或者从来都不是正确的。这是一个痛苦的认识)”可知，作者认为虽然坚持有好处，但有时离开才是正确的选择，说明作者对“坚持”持谨慎态度。故选A项。 D Many people have participated in lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise. In the study, 602 participants were randomly paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also randomly selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by assessing their total number of ideas, as well as those concepts’ degree of novelty, and asked to submit their best idea. Among the groups, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ determination to urge or require their employees to come back to the office. “We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interactions for idea generation.” When random objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than letting their look wander about the room and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing one’s whole environment and noticing the random objects were associated with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. Our look wavers less. “Looking away might come across as rude,” said Brucks, “so we have to look at the screen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldn’t walk to another room while talking to someone in person.” Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught in the past three years, and she did notice some advantages of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom. Brucks found that one solution to improving virtual idea generation might be to simply turn off the camera, for her students felt “freer” and more creative when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace. Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a compromise — a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office. 12. What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Shake. B. Revise. C. Challenge. D. Strengthen. 13. At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ______. A. creative ideas may emerge from casual thoughts B. the feedback from companies seems questionable C. participants should make eye contact in an online meeting D. videoconferencing can’t compare with in-person communication 14. What can we learn about Brucks’ class? A. Her students relieve anxiety by speaking up. B. Her students progressed in focusing attention. C. Her students benefited from virtual learning. D. Her students displayed talent for public speaking. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity B Grouping Randomly Increases Productivity C. Maintaining Teamwork Improves Idea Generation D. Interacting Virtually Impacts Working Participation 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了虚拟会议与面对面交流对创造力的影响，通过实验表明面对面交流更能激发创意，同时探讨了虚拟交流的优缺点及可能的改进方案。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The findings could stiffen employers’ determination to urge or require their employees to come back to the office.(这一发现可能会stiffen雇主敦促或要求员工返回办公室的决心)”以及前文提到的“virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, suggesting that something about face-to-face interaction generates more creative ideas(虚拟会议的参与者想出的点子明显更少，这表明面对面的交流能激发更多的创意)”可推知，面对面交流更能激发创意，所以这一发现会让雇主更加坚定让员工返回办公室的决心。故划线词“stiffen”意为“加强，坚定”，与D项“Strengthen”同义。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, like phone calls or e-mail, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interactions for idea generation.”(‘我们进行这项实验是基于一些公司的反馈，即远程工作者更难创新。’首席研究员Melanie Brucks说：‘与其他形式的虚拟通信，如电话或电子邮件不同，视频会议很好地复制了面对面的体验，所以当我们发现面对面交流和视频交流在创意产生方面存在显著差异时，我感到很惊讶。’)”可知，首席研究员Melanie Brucks认为视频会议与其他形式的虚拟通信不同，很好地复制了面对面的体验，所以应该和面对面交流相差无几。由此推知，最初，她会认为一些公司反馈的“远程工作者更难创新”这一情况不可信，值得怀疑。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Like most educators, Brucks has primarily taught in the past three years, and she did notice some advantages of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, rid of the anxiety that comes from addressing a large classroom.(和大多数教育工作者一样，Brucks在过去三年里主要采用线上教学，她也注意到了这种方法的某些优势。她的学生更有可能轮流发言，而她那些害羞的学生也更经常发言，摆脱了面对大教室讲话时的焦虑)”可推知，Brucks的学生更有可能轮流发言，害羞的学生也更经常发言，说明他们从虚拟学习中受益。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Many people have participated in lots of virtual meetings these years. Some research shows this adjustment might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise.(这些年来，许多人参加了许多虚拟会议。一些研究表明，这种调整可能不会对工作效率产生太大影响。然而，一项新的研究却得出了相反的结论)”和最后一段“Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a compromise — a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office.(远程协作无法取代面对面交流。唯有在拥有优质备选方案的前提下，甄选创意的能力才具有价值——而面对面团队正是催生决胜方案的最佳途径。或许未来职场会找到折中方案，在居家与办公室办公之间找到平衡的完美支点)”可知，本文主要讨论了虚拟会议对创造力的限制，通过实验表明面对面交流更能激发创意，而虚拟会议则可能限制创意的产生。故A项“Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity(在线头脑风暴限制了创造力)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 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。 Happiness is considered very important in life.

It is so powerful that it affects many things in your life—your sleep, relationships, health, study and work.(幸福被认为是生活中非常重要的。它是如此强大，以至于它影响着你生活中的许多事情——睡眠、人际关系、健康、学习和工作。)”提到了幸福的重要性，影响着生活中许多东西；下文“Happiness doesn’t happen spontaneously—it requires planning towards pursuing things that matter to us.(幸福不是自然而然发生的——它需要有计划地追求对我们重要的事情。)”提到了幸福不是自然而然发生的，需要有计划地追求，此处开始介绍获得幸福的方式。由此可推知，设空处为过渡句，需要引出下文。E项“Happiness is not something ready-made, but comes from your own actions.(幸福不是现成的，而是来自于你自己的行动。)”恰好能引出下文。故选E项。 【17题详解】 上文“Happiness doesn’t happen spontaneously—it requires planning towards pursuing things that matter to us.(幸福不是自然而然发生的——它需要有计划地追求对我们重要的事情。)”提到了幸福不是自然而然发生的，需要有计划地追求；下文“It’s necessary to set goals to look forward to and follow an actionable plan to achieve them, which can boost your self-confidence and reduce stress and anxiety.(设定目标并遵循可行的计划来实现它们是很有必要的，这可以增强你的自信，减少压力和焦虑。)”提到了设定目标并按可行的计划来实现很有必要。由此可推知，此处与“按照计划设定目标”息息相关，F项“Goal setting is important, since it forms the outline for the life you envision.(设定目标很重要，因为它勾勒出了你想象的生活的轮廓。)”与上下文对应，故选F项。 【18题详解】 设空处位于段首，需能概括本段内容；下文“When you are feeling negative about yourself, ask yourself what advice you would give a friend who was down on himself or herself.(当你对自己感到消极时，问问自己，你会给一个对自己失望的朋友什么建议。)”提到了当对自己感到消极时，问问自己会给对自己失望的朋友什么建议。由此可推知，本段重点强调“自己”，把自己当成朋友。B项“Sometimes, you need to treat yourself like a friend.(有时候，你需要像对待朋友一样对待自己。)”与下文对应。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据段首句“Keeping moving is also a good way.(保持运动也是一个好方法)”可知，本段与运动息息相关；上文“We don’t know if moving makes you happy or if happy people just move more, but we do know that more activity goes hand-in-hand with better health and greater happiness.(我们不知道运动是否会让你快乐，或者快乐的人只是多运动，但我们知道更多的运动与更好的健康和更大的快乐相伴而生。)”提到了运动与健康和快乐相伴；下文“Sunlight makes a difference. Spend time outside or live in a space with natural light.(阳光也有影响。花时间在户外或有自然光的地方生活。)”提到了去户外或有自然光的地方生活。由此可知，此处是建议去户外运动。C项“Studies also support that spending time in nature is good for you.(研究也表明，花时间在大自然中对你有好处。)”与上下文对应。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文“It is surely that our happiness is linked with the happiness of others.(毫无疑问，我们的幸福是与他人的幸福联系在一起的。)”提到了我们的幸福与他人的幸福有关；下文“Happiness is infectious, so stay with people who are happy, supportive and give you positive feedback.(幸福是会传染的，所以和幸福的、支持你的、能给你积极反馈的人呆在一起。)”提到了幸福会传染；由此可推知，此处是在建议和幸福的人待在一起。G项“People who are surrounded by happy people are more likely to become happy.(被快乐的人包围的人更有可能变得快乐。)”与上下文对应。故选G项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My childhood was mostly silent.
