Setting his sights on the 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car race in 2026, Team BRIT founder and CEO Dave Player explains: “If you’re a mountain climber, you want to climb Everest eventually and if you’re an endurance racer, you dream of competing in the Le Mans 24 Hours. It’s a legendary, historic event that every racing driver sets their sights on.” Meet Team BRIT, the car racing team overcoming life-threatening accidents and health conditions to compete in the most reputable championships in the world.
If the team gets to compete in what is widely judged to be the world’s most exhausting endurance race, they’ll also enter the history books as the first all-disabled team to do so. It’s something they have to work up to, with all the drivers needing the necessary experience and suitable cars.
Other disabled drivers have taken part, but only through a wild card, non-competitive plan. “We don’t want that,” Dave, 54, insists. “We want to compete on a level playing field, as a statement that even as disabled racing drivers we belong on a world stage. We want to earn our place, not have it given to us.”
As a wheelchair user since he dove into a lake and broke his neck at 23, Dave set up the charity Kart Force in 2010 as a way for injured old soldiers to use sports car for recovery. He went on to found Team BRIT in 2015—creating a set of hand controls that could be installed in racing cars to enable drivers with disabilities to compete side by side with able-bodied competitors. Based at Dunsfold Park (also home of the Top Gear test track near Cranleigh), it is a competitive, sponsorship-supported racing team.
Every test lap at Dunsfold is fired by the same belief: the summit of endurance racing is not reserved for the able-bodied, but for the daring who refuse to quit. When the green flag falls in 2026, Team BRIT will prove that the only real disability is a mind that never dares to race.
24. Why does Dave Player regard the Le Mans 24 Hours as his final goal?
A. It is the first race he has ever watched on TV.
B. It is the only race that allows disabled drivers.
C. It offers the biggest money prize in motor sports.
D. It is seen as the highest mountain in endurance racing.
25. In what aspect is Team BRIT different from other disabled participants?
A. They have a wild card entry. B. They never take the world stage.
C. They make non-competitive schemes. D. They aim to earn their position themselves.
26. What did Dave do first after his own accident?
A. He built the Top Gear test track.
B. He created hand controls for racing cars.
C. He started Kart Force to help injured soldiers.
D. He founded Team BRIT for the disabled competitors.
27. Which words would best describe Dave Player?
A. Determined but mean. B. Talented but reserved.
C. Caring and ambitious. D. Patient and cautious.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了英国车队创始人和他的车队的故事以及不断进取,勇于和身体健全的对手并肩竞争的精神。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段Dave Player所说的“If you’re a mountain climber, you want to climb Everest eventually and if you’re an endurance racer, you dream of competing in the Le Mans 24 Hours.(如果你是登山者,终会想要攀登珠穆朗玛峰;如果你是耐力赛选手,你定会梦想参加勒芒24小时耐力赛。)”可知,Le Mans 被视为是耐力赛中的“珠峰”,即最高峰。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段Dave说的话“We want to earn our place, not have it given to us.(我们想要赢得属于自己的地位,而非坐享其成。)”可知,Team BRIT虽然残疾,但并不想通过外卡进入竞赛,他们的目标是通过自己的努力获得一席之位。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“As a wheelchair user since he dove into a lake and broke his neck at 23, Dave set up the charity Kart Force in 2010 as a way for injured old soldiers to use sports car for recovery.(Dave23岁时因跳入湖中导致颈部骨折,从此与轮椅为伴。2010年,他创立了慈善机构Kart Force,旨在帮助受伤老兵通过跑车运动进行康复。)”可知,Dave在发生事故后,首先做的就是创立了慈善机构Kart Force,以帮助受伤的士兵。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Dave set up the charity Kart Force in 2010 as a way for injured old soldiers to use sports car for recovery. He went on to found Team BRIT in 2015—creating a set of hand controls that could be installed in racing cars to enable drivers with disabilities to compete side by side with able-bodied competitors.(2010年,Dave创立了慈善机构Kart Force,旨在帮助受伤老兵通过跑车运动进行康复。随后,他在 2015 年又创立了“英国车队”——设计了一套手控装置,可安装在赛车上,使残疾驾驶者能够与健全的车手并肩参赛。)”可知,Dave是一个关爱残疾人的人;结合第三段Dave说的话“We want to earn our place, not have it given to us.(我们想要赢得属于自己的地位,而非坐享其成。)”可知,Dave是一个很有抱负、有斗志的人。故选C。
C
Looking at his pile of unpaid bills always makes Giuseppe Del Giudice feel uneasy. Sometimes he got late fees because of his habit of putting things off, but in many ways the emotional loss is worse. “The longer the bills go unpaid,” says Del Giudice, “the more anxious I get.”
Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It’s common,” says procrastination researcher Tim Pychyl, a psychology professor at Carleton University, Canada. “One of the ways we cope is to run away, and that’s what procrastination comes down to.”
You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even pleasant tasks such as planning a vacation. Research has shown that the top tasks people delay are cleaning, advancing their careers, taking care of their health and planning their finances.
One big factor for them is fear of being judged by others and themselves. Kelli Saginak procrastinated about looking for a new job for years. “It’s totally fear of failure and of not living up to expectations,” says Saginak. “If I don’t take the risk, I don’t have to face the judgment. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people embrace procrastination, believing that they perform well under pressure. Researchers have uncovered the truth. Most of them did worse than non-procrastinators, but they thought they did better.
Whatever the motivation, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Procrastinators experience higher levels of stress, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own negative and self-critical feelings about their procrastination. Some of the research has also shown that this stress increases the risks of many diseases. “We used to believe behaviours follow attitude, but if you take immediate action, you’ll make progress, thus motivating yourself.” Pychyl says. So next time you procrastinate on starting an exercise routine, just put on your walking shoes at once.
28. Why does the author mention Del Giudice in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To spark the interest.
C. To explain the reason. D. To take the example.
29. What do researchers identify as the main reason for most procrastination?
A. Too many urgent tasks to handle at once.
B. A lack of proper time-management skills.
C. Fear of self-assessment and external evaluation.
D. The enjoyment of working under tight deadlines.
30. How can you deal with procrastination according to the text?
A. By finding what drives you. B. By taking a positive attitude.
C. By getting started right now. D. By making a routine schedule.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The solutions to procrastination. B. An introduction to procrastination.
C. The dangers of procrastination. D. The main causes of procrastination.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拖延这一现象,分析了导致拖延的原因和产生的后果,并强调要立即采取行动。

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““We used to believe behaviours follow attitude, but if you take immediate action, you’ll make progress, thus motivating yourself.” Pychyl says. So next time you procrastinate on starting an exercise routine, just put on your walking shoes at once.(Pychyl说:“我们过去认为行为取决于态度,但如果你立即采取行动,你会取得进步,从而激励自己。”所以下次你拖延开始日常锻炼时,马上穿上你的步行鞋)”可知,作者对克服拖延的建议就是你立即采取行动来激励你克服拖延。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章在第二段引出“拖延”这一话题,在最后两段分析了导致拖延的原因、拖延带来的不良影响和最后提供了克服拖延的方法。由此可知,本文主要介绍了拖延这一主题。故选B。
D
From his office in New Haven, Yale ecologist Jeremy Cohen experiences the full range of the four seasons. It occurred to him that many of his research subjects — North American birds eschew the seasons, instead seeking the same weather conditions all year long across their migratory (迁移的) routes.
To better understand how different species of North American birds track these preferred climatic conditions, Cohen determined the environmental conditions using satellite weather data, which allowed him to assess how those conditions experienced by each species change throughout the seasons. This analysis was the first to consider the importance of weather change in determining how bird species track their habitats across seasons. Past studies had evaluated only the average weather conditions, leaving vital knowledge gaps about both the ecology and potential danger of birds.
“We found that some migratory species can track temperature or rainfall throughout the year, going out of their way to experience the same weather all year long, while others experience strong changes in seasonal conditions throughout the year,” said Cohen. Long distance migratory birds, such as the prothonotary warbler, are excellent habitat-trackers. Their migration means they can seek out preferred conditions. Small-bodied birds, such as vireos, and insect-eaters, such as flycatchers, also tend to closely track their habitats over the year, while large-bodied birds are able to bear a wide range of conditions over the year.
Revealing these patterns was no simple task. For the study, Cohen had to combine data from millions of current records for over 600 bird species along with 22 years of weather data. Such a task would not have been possible even a decade ago. “It’s important to understand how wildlife is handling the consequences of speeding up climate change so that, as climate change speeds up, we can prevent the fall of ecological communities and biological diversity while avoiding the loss of ecosystem services,” Cohen said.
32. What does the underlined word “eschew” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Search. B. Avoid. C. Endure. D. Forecast.
33. Compared with previous researches, Cohen’s study is novel because ______.
A. it records daily behaviour via satellite data. B. it links body size with migration distance.
C. it tracks weather change beyond averages. D. it surveys 600-plus bird species worldwide.
34. Why are varieties of birds in Paragraph 3 mentioned?
A. To indicate distance links with latitude. B. To prove body size decides migration route.
C. To highlight the urgency in climate change. D. To show tracking skill differs among species.
35. What can we infer from Cohen’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Satellite records alone can save threatened birds.
B Ecological collapse is now beyond human control.
C. Without big-data insight, timely protection may fail.
D. Climate change mainly threatens large-bodied species.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨了耶鲁大学生态学家Jeremy Cohen关于北美鸟类如何通过迁徙追踪全年相同气候条件的研究。研究发现不同鸟类物种在追踪栖息地气候条件方面存在差异,并强调了理解这一机制对于应对气候变化和保护生物多样性的重要性。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后面“instead seeking the same weather conditions all year long across their migratory (迁移的) routes (而是在迁徙路线上寻找全年相同的天气条件)”可知,instead后面说鸟类在迁徙路线上寻找同样的气候条件。instead前后转折,推测划线单词eschew的意思为“躲避”,与avoid意思一致。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This analysis was the first to consider the importance of weather change in determining how bird species track their habitats across seasons. Past studies had evaluated only the average weather conditions, leaving vital knowledge gaps about both the ecology and potential danger of birds. (这项分析首次考虑了天气变化在确定鸟类如何跨季节追踪栖息地方面的重要性。过去的研究只评估了平均天气条件,留下了关于鸟类生态和潜在危险的重要知识空白。)”可知,该研究首次考虑到了天气变化的重要性,而之前的研究仅关注平均的天气情况。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“We found that some migratory species can track temperature or rainfall throughout the year, going out of their way to experience the same weather all year long, while others experience strong changes in seasonal conditions throughout the year, (我们发现,一些迁徙物种可以全年追踪温度或降雨量,全年都会经历同样的天气,而另一些物种则会全年经历季节性条件的强烈变化)”和“Long distance migratory birds, such as the prothonotary warbler, are excellent habitat-trackers. Their migration means they can seek out preferred condition. Small-bodied birds, such as vireos, and insect-eaters, such as flycatchers, also tend to closely track their habitats over the year, while large-bodied birds are able to bear a wide range of conditions over the year.(长距离迁徙的鸟类,如蓝翅黄森莺,是极好的栖息地追踪者。它们的迁移意味着它们可以寻找首选条件。体型较小的鸟类,如维丽俄鸟,和食虫动物,如捕蝇草,也倾向于在一年中密切跟踪它们的栖息地,而体型较大的鸟类能够在一年内承受各种各样的条件)”可知,本段通过列举长距离迁徙的鸟类、体型小的鸟类、食虫鸟、体型大的鸟类,是为了说明不同鸟类有不同的迁徙技能。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For the study, Cohen had to combine data from millions of current records for over 600 bird species along with 22 years of weather data. Such a task would not have been possible even a decade ago. “It’s important to understand how wildlife is handling the consequences of speeding up climate change so that, as climate change speeds up, we can prevent the fall of ecological communities and biological diversity while avoiding the loss of ecosystem services,” Cohen said.(在这项研究中,Cohen必须将600多种鸟类的数百万份当前记录数据与22年的天气数据结合起来。这样的任务甚至在十年前都是不可能做到的。Cohen说:“了解野生动物如何应对气候变化加速的后果非常重要,这样,随着气候变化的加速,我们就可以防止生态群落和生物多样性的崩溃,同时避免生态系统服务的丧失。”)”可知,Cohen强调“十年前无法完成的百万级数据整合今日已成可能”,并指出唯有弄清野生动物应对气候的方式,才能“及时防止生态群落和生物多样性崩溃”,由此可推知,若无这些大数据洞察,及时保护或将落空。故选C。

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。
The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation
For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work, flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation. Kevin Droniak says he is “addicted” to 24-hour travel.
Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok. ____36____ Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning. “I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn’t on your side,” said Droniak, 28. Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared. ____37____
Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan. ____38____ On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. ____39____ Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting, but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure.
“I know it’s not for everyone, but, for me, I love just sitting on a plane, so flying is part of the fun. It’s also helpful that I can sleep upright,” he said. The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house. “____40____ Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again,” he said.
A. You shouldn’t over-plan your trip.
B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.
C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.
D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.
E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.
F. 24-hour travel is not a new idea and has been popular since it appeared.
G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.
【答案】36. G 37. B 38. E 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕“24小时一日游旅行”展开,介绍了博主Kevin Droniak对这种旅行方式的实践与看法,并分析了其背后的社会心理。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok.(Droniak是一名内容创作者,他在TikTok上记录了十几次从纽约出发的旅行)”及下文“Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning.(通常,它包括一个清晨的航班,一段时间探索一个城市或一个特定的景点,然后在晚上或第二天早上离开)”可知,前文提到Droniak作为一名博主,在TikTok记录了十几次从纽约出发的旅行,后文直接描述了他的典型行程,由此可知,G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.(在这些旅行中,他通常坚持“24小时旋风式打卡”的模式)符合语境,既承接前文“记录旅行”,又为后文他的具体描述做铺垫。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared.(快节奏的旅行和24小时旅行比社交媒体和病毒式传播更早出现。然而,这种硬核风格的旅行迎合了我们现代人对快速、有影响力的体验的渴望,这种体验很容易被记录和分享)”可知,指出高强度快节奏旅行符合现代人对快速体验的渴望。由此可知,B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.(这是旅行版的即时满足)符合语境。故选B项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan.(Droniak说,坐飞机一日游的关键是不要过度计划)”及下文“On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. (例如,在一次去波多黎各的旅行中,他的目标只是去海滩。在开罗(是的,Droniak离开纽约在那里待了一天),他唯一的目标就是看金字塔)”可知,前文强调“一日游的关键是不过度计划”,后面举出实例解释一次只有一个目标。由此可知,E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.(这意味着每个地方只有一个“动机”)符合语境。故选E项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. (例如,在一次去波多黎各旅行中,他的目标只是去海滩。在开罗(是的,Droniak离开纽约在那里待了一天),他唯一的目标就是看金字塔)”可知,前文举了两个例子证明他每次只有一个旅行目标。由此可知,D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.(在巴黎,他的目的是参观埃菲尔铁塔)符合语境,又举了例子证实一次只有一个动机。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house.(飞到任何地方进行一日游的想法是不可想象的,但德龙尼亚克认为,最有价值的经历是那些让你完全走出家门的经历)”及空后“Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again(因为它让人们有可能再次体验到孩子般的惊奇感)”可知,德龙尼亚克认为能让人走出家门看世界的经历都是值得的,后文解释这样可以重获孩童般的好奇。由此可知,C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.(即使是短途旅行也比待在家里好)即使是短途旅行也能获得好处,符合语境。故选C项。

67. 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。
Cold wind brushed against Leo’s cheeks as he hurried down the snowy sidewalk. His shift at the grocery store had ended late, and he had skipped dinner just to clean up the mess in aisle (过道) four. The streets were quiet, and the bus stop ahead looked like a tiny island in the dark. As Leo got closer, he saw the red taillights of the last bus pulling away. “No!” he shouted, breaking into a run. But it was too late.
Leo stood there for a moment, breathing hard, watching the bus disappear down the street. His phone was dead, his gloves were too thin and he had no money for a taxi. The walk home would take at least an hour, and the snow was starting to fall again. Leo sat down on the cold bench, rubbing (搓) his hands together and trying not to feel too sorry for himself.
Across the street, a small café still had its lights on. A sign in the window said “Open Late”, and warm yellow light spilled out onto the sidewalk. Leo hesitated. He didn’t want to spend money he didn’t have, but he also didn’t want to freeze. Finally, he crossed the street and pushed open the door.
Inside, it smelled like cinnamon (肉桂) and hot chocolate. The woman behind the counter looked up and gave him a kind smile. “Long night?” she asked. Leo nodded and told her about the missed bus. “Well, sit down and warm up,” she said, already pouring a drink. “This is free.”
Leo held the warm mug between his hands and took small sips (一小口), letting the heat return to his body. The cafe was quiet except for soft jazz playing in the background. The woman brought him a plate of cookies.

【答案】例文
“My husband used to miss his bus all the time,” she said, laughing. “He’d come here just like you, half-frozen and frustrated. That’s why I keep the cafe open late—to offer a warm place for those in need.” He listened, deeply moved by her kindness, his throat tight with an emotion he couldn’t name. He finished the hot chocolate and cookies, feeling warmth not just in his body but also in his heart. It was a simple gesture, yet it felt like a lifeline, a quiet promise that he wasn’t as alone as he had thought. Before leaving, he insisted on helping her wipe the tables, despite her refusal.
As he stepped back into the snow, Leo felt lighter somehow. The cold wind no longer seemed so bitter, and the walk home felt shorter than before, the city lights now holding a gentle glow. He realized that sometimes, missing a bus could lead to meeting a kind soul—a small twist of fate that changed everything. The next day, he returned to the café with a thank-you card and a new pair of warm gloves, determined to spread the same warmth he had received. It was more than gratitude; it felt like the start of something new, a quiet promise to pass kindness forward.

Setting his sights on the 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car race in 2026, Team BRIT founder and CEO Dave Player explains: “If you’re a mountain climber, you want to climb Everest eventually and if you’re an endurance racer, you dream of competing in the Le Mans 24 Hours. It’s a legendary, historic event that every racing driver sets their sights on.” Meet Team BRIT, the car racing team overcoming life-threatening accidents and health conditions to compete in the most reputable championships in the world.
If the team gets to compete in what is widely judged to be the world’s most exhausting endurance race, they’ll also enter the history books as the first all-disabled team to do so. It’s something they have to work up to, with all the drivers needing the necessary experience and suitable cars.
Other disabled drivers have taken part, but only through a wild card, non-competitive plan. “We don’t want that,” Dave, 54, insists. “We want to compete on a level playing field, as a statement that even as disabled racing drivers we belong on a world stage. We want to earn our place, not have it given to us.”
As a wheelchair user since he dove into a lake and broke his neck at 23, Dave set up the charity Kart Force in 2010 as a way for injured old soldiers to use sports car for recovery. He went on to found Team BRIT in 2015—creating a set of hand controls that could be installed in racing cars to enable drivers with disabilities to compete side by side with able-bodied competitors. Based at Dunsfold Park (also home of the Top Gear test track near Cranleigh), it is a competitive, sponsorship-supported racing team.
Every test lap at Dunsfold is fired by the same belief: the summit of endurance racing is not reserved for the able-bodied, but for the daring who refuse to quit. When the green flag falls in 2026, Team BRIT will prove that the only real disability is a mind that never dares to race.
24. Why does Dave Player regard the Le Mans 24 Hours as his final goal?
A. It is the first race he has ever watched on TV.
B. It is the only race that allows disabled drivers.
C. It offers the biggest money prize in motor sports.
D. It is seen as the highest mountain in endurance racing.
25. In what aspect is Team BRIT different from other disabled participants?
A. They have a wild card entry. B. They never take the world stage.
C. They make non-competitive schemes. D. They aim to earn their position themselves.
26. What did Dave do first after his own accident?
A. He built the Top Gear test track.
B. He created hand controls for racing cars.
C. He started Kart Force to help injured soldiers.
D. He founded Team BRIT for the disabled competitors.
27. Which words would best describe Dave Player?
A. Determined but mean. B. Talented but reserved.
C. Caring and ambitious. D. Patient and cautious.
C
Looking at his pile of unpaid bills always makes Giuseppe Del Giudice feel uneasy. Sometimes he got late fees because of his habit of putting things off, but in many ways the emotional loss is worse. “The longer the bills go unpaid,” says Del Giudice, “the more anxious I get.”
Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It’s common,” says procrastination researcher Tim Pychyl, a psychology professor at Carleton University, Canada. “One of the ways we cope is to run away, and that’s what procrastination comes down to.”
You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even pleasant tasks such as planning a vacation. Research has shown that the top tasks people delay are cleaning, advancing their careers, taking care of their health and planning their finances.
One big factor for them is fear of being judged by others and themselves. Kelli Saginak procrastinated about looking for a new job for years. “It’s totally fear of failure and of not living up to expectations,” says Saginak. “If I don’t take the risk, I don’t have to face the judgment. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people embrace procrastination, believing that they perform well under pressure. Researchers have uncovered the truth. Most of them did worse than non-procrastinators, but they thought they did better.
Whatever the motivation, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Procrastinators experience higher levels of stress, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own negative and self-critical feelings about their procrastination. Some of the research has also shown that this stress increases the risks of many diseases. “We used to believe behaviours follow attitude, but if you take immediate action, you’ll make progress, thus motivating yourself.” Pychyl says. So next time you procrastinate on starting an exercise routine, just put on your walking shoes at once.
28. Why does the author mention Del Giudice in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To spark the interest.
C. To explain the reason. D. To take the example.
29. What do researchers identify as the main reason for most procrastination?
A. Too many urgent tasks to handle at once.
B. A lack of proper time-management skills.
C. Fear of self-assessment and external evaluation.
D. The enjoyment of working under tight deadlines.
30. How can you deal with procrastination according to the text?
A. By finding what drives you. B. By taking a positive attitude.
C. By getting started right now. D. By making a routine schedule.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The solutions to procrastination. B. An introduction to procrastination.
C. The dangers of procrastination. D. The main causes of procrastination.

From his office in New Haven, Yale ecologist Jeremy Cohen experiences the full range of the four seasons. It occurred to him that many of his research subjects — North American birds eschew the seasons, instead seeking the same weather conditions all year long across their migratory (迁移的) routes.
To better understand how different species of North American birds track these preferred climatic conditions, Cohen determined the environmental conditions using satellite weather data, which allowed him to assess how those conditions experienced by each species change throughout the seasons. This analysis was the first to consider the importance of weather change in determining how bird species track their habitats across seasons. Past studies had evaluated only the average weather conditions, leaving vital knowledge gaps about both the ecology and potential danger of birds.
“We found that some migratory species can track temperature or rainfall throughout the year, going out of their way to experience the same weather all year long, while others experience strong changes in seasonal conditions throughout the year,” said Cohen. Long distance migratory birds, such as the prothonotary warbler, are excellent habitat-trackers. Their migration means they can seek out preferred conditions. Small-bodied birds, such as vireos, and insect-eaters, such as flycatchers, also tend to closely track their habitats over the year, while large-bodied birds are able to bear a wide range of conditions over the year.
Revealing these patterns was no simple task. For the study, Cohen had to combine data from millions of current records for over 600 bird species along with 22 years of weather data. Such a task would not have been possible even a decade ago. “It’s important to understand how wildlife is handling the consequences of speeding up climate change so that, as climate change speeds up, we can prevent the fall of ecological communities and biological diversity while avoiding the loss of ecosystem services,” Cohen said.
32. What does the underlined word “eschew” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Search. B. Avoid. C. Endure. D. Forecast.
33. Compared with previous researches, Cohen’s study is novel because ______.
A. it records daily behaviour via satellite data. B. it links body size with migration distance.
C. it tracks weather change beyond averages. D. it surveys 600-plus bird species worldwide.
34. Why are varieties of birds in Paragraph 3 mentioned?
A. To indicate distance links with latitude. B. To prove body size decides migration route.
C. To highlight the urgency in climate change. D. To show tracking skill differs among species.
35. What can we infer from Cohen’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Satellite records alone can save threatened birds.
B. Ecological collapse is now beyond human control.
C. Without big-data insight, timely protection may fail.
D. Climate change mainly threatens large-bodied species.

The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation
For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work, flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation. Kevin Droniak says he is “addicted” to 24-hour travel.
Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok. ____36____ Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning. “I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn’t on your side,” said Droniak, 28. Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared. ____37____
Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan. ____38____ On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. ____39____ Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting, but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure.
“I know it’s not for everyone, but, for me, I love just sitting on a plane, so flying is part of the fun. It’s also helpful that I can sleep upright,” he said. The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house. “____40____ Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again,” he said.
A You shouldn’t over-plan your trip.
B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.
C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.
D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.
E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.
F. 24-hour travel is not a new idea and has been popular since it appeared.
G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.

67. 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。
Cold wind brushed against Leo’s cheeks as he hurried down the snowy sidewalk. His shift at the grocery store had ended late, and he had skipped dinner just to clean up the mess in aisle (过道) four. The streets were quiet, and the bus stop ahead looked like a tiny island in the dark. As Leo got closer, he saw the red taillights of the last bus pulling away. “No!” he shouted, breaking into a run. But it was too late.
Leo stood there for a moment, breathing hard, watching the bus disappear down the street. His phone was dead, his gloves were too thin and he had no money for a taxi. The walk home would take at least an hour, and the snow was starting to fall again. Leo sat down on the cold bench, rubbing (搓) his hands together and trying not to feel too sorry for himself.
Across the street, a small café still had its lights on. A sign in the window said “Open Late”, and warm yellow light spilled out onto the sidewalk. Leo hesitated. He didn’t want to spend money he didn’t have, but he also didn’t want to freeze. Finally, he crossed the street and pushed open the door.
Inside, it smelled like cinnamon (肉桂) and hot chocolate. The woman behind the counter looked up and gave him a kind smile. “Long night?” she asked. Leo nodded and told her about the missed bus. “Well, sit down and warm up,” she said, already pouring a drink. “This is free.”
Leo held the warm mug between his hands and took small sips (一小口) letting the heat return to his body. The cafe was quiet except for soft jazz playing in the background. The woman brought him a plate of cookies.
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。
“My husband used to miss his bus all the time,” she said, laughing.
