In 2025, many cutting-edge emerging technologies are stepping into the spotlight. Below, we will focus on these leading-edge technologies, and at the same time, explore whether society is ready for their impact through an ecosystem readiness map (ERM) — this map covers 5 aspects for each technology, with each aspect rated on a four-point scale ranging from “no readiness” to “high readiness”.
Ecosystem Readiness Map (ERM)
Osmotic power systems
It makes electricity from the difference in salt levels between two water sources, promising a unique approach to global energy generation.
ERM of osmotic power systems
Biochemical sensing
Biochemical sensing is a smart network that can detect and respond to biological changes in water all by itself. This could strengthen the safety of water supplies and the natural environment.

As a child, Brian Fisher dreamed of becoming a botanist. While on botany journeys, Fisher began to ask questions about the ants that he discovered on the plants he was researching Since the other botanists were unable to identify those ants, Fisher reached out to an ant scientist to gain further knowledge. Then he became an entomologist, or a scientist who studies insects. Soon, Fisher set himself the goal of identifying every species of ant in the world, and he aims to construct a tree of ant species. Fisher, along with his team, has already succeeded in identifying a complete subfamily of ants.
It was his ant species tree that led Fisher to Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa. During his research in Madagascar’s six-month rainy season — which is ideal for observing ants — he endured severe illnesses, and he and his team faced frequent rainstorms, broken bridges, rough roads, and such challenges as pushing cars free of mud. Yet his work in that region has extended far beyond the study of ants.
“You cannot preserve a forest when the people living nearby are hungry,” he states, so he sought out methods to assist those individuals. He developed a new method for farming eatable insects, which he then taught to the people of Madagascar.
Fisher understands what is required to build a career in the field of science. “To survive as a scientist,” he explains, “you must be motivated, driven, and fully focused.” He also emphasizes that being a good writer is essential, as it allows you to “share your story in an engaging way that will make people want to read your work.” Once Fisher’s species tree is fully completed, it may unlock an entirely new world of ant research. However, two major challenges stand in the way: climate change and human intervention. How can we study ants if their natural habitats are disappearing? Fisher hopes he can interest people in the significance of Earth’s biodiversity.
4. What initially contributed to Fisher’s changing his career?
A. His childhood dream of saving ants.
B. The aim of creating an ant species tree.
C. His experience of studying plants.
D. The ant scientist’s encouragement.
5. Which word best describes Fisher’s journey in Madagascar?
A. Eventful. B. Debatable. C. Unsuccessful. D. Costly.
6. What does Fisher infer to do?
A. Focus on scientific writing. B. Protect the natural ecology.
C. Improve farming techniques. D. Learn about ant species’ habitats.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote Fisher’s ant species tree.
B. To explain Fisher’s research methods.
C. To introduce Fisher’s career philosophy.
D. To outline Fisher’s ant research and contributions.
C
In an era when screens dominate our daily lives, digital eye strain has emerged as a significant public health issue affecting millions worldwide Digital eye strain, which is characterized by a range of symptoms such as dryness, watering, burning, and even double vision, extends beyond mere discomfort to signal the potential presence of long-term conditions that can significantly affect an individual’s quality of life and productivity.
When we are focusing on digital displays, our blink (眨眼) rate falls, and our eyes strain to maintain focus on near objects for extended periods. Reduced blinking and sustained near focus can give rise to eye issues. These symptoms are often short-lived, but if left untreated, they can become ongoing and very difficult to deal with.
The 20-20-20 rule is a simple but effective strategy for protecting our eyes against digital strain. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to focus on something 20 feet away. This brief break allows our eye muscles to relax, reducing the strain associated with constant near-focus work. Environmental factors also play a fundamental role in maintaining eye comfort during screen use. Proper lighting, adequate humidity, and good air quality can significantly affect eye health.
Emerging therapies, which are being developed to tackle the growing problem of screen caused eye damage, offer new hope for the more effective management of digital eye strain. Among these, novel TRPM8 agonists (激动剂) — acting like precise keys — show great potential in relieving dry-eye discomfort.
In this digital age, it’s important to take measures to protect our vision. By recognizing the signs of digital eye strain, implementing protective strategies, and seeking timely professional care, we can reduce the risks associated with our screen-dependent lifestyles.
8. What can be implied from paragraph 1?
A. Using a computer leads to eye disorders.
B. Eye symptoms have affected most people.
C. Eye health determines people’s productivity.
D. We should emphasize the risks of digital eye strain.
9. Which factor is related to digital eye strain?
A. Blinking for a long time. B. Looking at many objects.
C. A decrease in blinking. D. The change of near focus.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Eye symptom types. B. Relative treatment methods.
C. Eye protection strategies. D. Professional exam processes.
11. What can we know about the TRPM8 agonists from the text?
A. Their effect remains uncertain. B. They are precise keys.
C. They require further research. D. Their future is promising.
D
A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology”. Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate — to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science? Or public trust?
In recent years we’ve seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, taken back because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Ate scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right?
It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing”. But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly.
The problem is not unique to the U.S. In Europe, formal research assessments, which are used to distribute future funding, have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. Due to the fact that the existing system has created a “counterincentive” to advancement in science, a reform is underway urging an emphasis on quality over quantity.
Good science takes time. More than 50 years passed before Copernicus’s On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, published in 1543, gained widespread acceptance. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift.
There’s plenty of evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the massive volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust.
12. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________.
A. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fast
B. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily broken
C. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidly
D. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard
13. The underlined word “counterincentive” in paragraph 4 refers to a(n) _________ factor.
A. unfair B. decisive C. rational D. discouraging
14. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time?
A. Distinguished scholars’ tremendous output.
B. Publication of Copernicus’s theory.
C. Withdrawal of important papers.
D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift.
15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Principle behind Research Assessments
B. Trouble of Fast Science
C. Choice between Quantity and Quality
D. Collapse of Public Trust

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。
How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers, at least so far. Data leaks, surveillance (监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seat backs and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious. ____16____ Fortunately, there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air. These tips can help you deal with these troubles.
____17____ “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny Mcloughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos.
Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep. ____18____
Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles — or mishandles — your data, you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble. ____19____. But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel. For example, a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in. You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why? ____20____ Just to be sure, never leave the customer copy behind. You can destroy it later, but keep it under your control.
A. It’s never been better.
B. Perhaps they shouldn’t be.
C. Never broadcast your journey on social media.
D. There are other people on the other side of the wall.
E. However, travelers are not powerless against these threats.
F. Some travelers only offer the bare minimum, such as a post office box instead of a home address.
G. Report anything doubtful to the host immediately, and leave if you don’t like what you hear.
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,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。
After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in books from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new ____21____: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.”
In the past, students understood that hard work was not ____22____; an A demanded great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the ____23____ of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In a recent survey, ____24____, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for showing up at (most) classes.
This isn’t Gen Z’s fault. It’s the result of a ____25____ about one of the most popular educational theories.
More than a generation ago the psychologist Carol Dweck found praising kids for their abilities weakened their flexibility and led to a(n) ____26____ mindset, making them more likely to get discouraged or give up when they encountered setbacks. However, a shift from praising intelligence to praising effort could cultivate a growth mindset and ____27____ learning. The idea of celebrating persistence quickly made its way into widely-shared articles, ____28____ books and popular TED talks.
The problem is that we’ve taken this practice too far. We’ve gone from ____29____ effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind a generation of kids that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job, ____30____ being a good person. What worries me most is that valuing perseverance above all else can motivate people to ____31____ bad strategies instead of developing better ones. A typical example is staying up all night rather than studying a little each day for a few days. If they don’t get an A, they often protest.
Teachers and parents ____32____ kids a more balanced message. We award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest for good reasons. What counts is not just effort but the progress and performance that follow. The ideal ____33____ to a disappointing grade is to ask how you could have gotten a better return on your ____34____. Good grades are not granted for effort itself; they’re ____35____ through mastery of the material. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you take out.
21. A. complaint B. excuse C. theory D. essay
22. A. practical B. massive C. adequate D. complex
23. A. proof B. quantity C. hope D. chance
24. A. for example B. by contrast C. in addition D. above all
25. A. discussion B. report C. misunderstanding D. feeling
26. A. embarrassed B. fixed C. confused D. pleased
27. A. avoid B. maintain C. cancel D. boost
28. A. best-selling B. life-changing C. record-breaking D. eye-catching
29. A. challenging B. preventing C. applauding D. wasting
30. A. let alone B. regardless of C. as to D. in spite of
31. A. give up B. compete with C. race against D. stick to
32. A. send B. burden C. miss D. owe
33 A. feedback B. concept C. response D. reflection

A style of calligraphy once used to record one of ancient China’s most ____36____ (ambition) scholarly projects is being brought back to life — not on silk or paper, ____37____ on screens, posters and mobile phones.
On Friday, Chinese cultural institutions, launched a newly developed digital font (字体) based on the script of the Yongle Dadian, ____38____ vast encyclopedia (百科全书) collected more than 600 years ago during the Ming Dynasty. The two-year project aims to transform a historical writing style once ____39____ (reserve) for the imperial court into a font available for public use. The Yongle Dadian is regarded ____40____ the world’s first encyclopedia, ____41____ (bring) together classical texts including history, philosophy, literature, science and the arts. Much of the original work has since been lost, making surviving volumes ____42____ (cultural) invaluable.
The project is part of a broader shift in how China is looking after the ____43____ (preserve) of its written heritage. ____44____ experts particularly emphasize is that this digital revival allows ancient scripts to reconnect with modern life. “Traditionally, this script ____45____ (protect) by being kept out of everyday use,” said Zhang Weitao, head of the Guangzhou branch of the China National Archives of Publications and Culture. “Now the aim is to let people use them, so they remain alive.”

Stacey Taylor, a tenth-grader, adored journalist Nellie Bly and dreamed of following in her footsteps. On her first day at Walker Senior High School, she was nervous but excited, knowing that her best friend Mandy would be with her. They’d stuck together from elementary school to junior high school, claiming bus seats, sitting together at lunch, and being the best in gym teams.
However Stacey was assigned to the advanced classes, separated from Mandy in English. science, math, and social studies. She was in low spirits in her new English class until her teacher, who was also the adviser to the school newspaper, invited students to attend the first meeting next Tuesday. Her heart raced — this was her chance to be a real journalist like Nellie Bly.
Later, in gym, the coach announced soccer tryouts. Stacey and Mandy cheered, hoping to be on the team together — until Stacey heard soccer practice was every Tuesday, which conflicted with newspaper meetings. Stacey was torn. She talked to her English teacher, but he stressed commitment to the newspaper, just as the coach did for soccer. Her dad advised her to list the advantages and disadvantages: playing soccer meant staying with her best friend while writing for the newspaper meant pursuing her dream of journalism. She struggled, calling the choice “simply awful.”
At Saturday’s soccer tryouts, the field was crowded and Stacey played well with Mandy. Unsurprisingly, when the team list came out on Monday, it showed that both of them made it. Seized with confusion instead of joy, Stacey leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. Noticing her strangeness, Jonathan, the soccer team’s manager who used a wheelchair, approached her with concern. Learning her problem, he shared his own story. He loved soccer, but due to his physical condition, he couldn’t join the soccer team. However, he didn’t give up. Instead, he became the team manager. And he encouraged Stacey to think creatively to find a solution that could satisfy both her needs to maintain friendships and pursue her dream.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Thinking over Jonathan’s words, Stacey consulted her dad again.

As a sports journalist, Stacey came to report the soccer team’s first training after tryouts.

As a child, Brian Fisher dreamed of becoming a botanist. While on botany journeys, Fisher began to ask questions about the ants that he discovered on the plants he was researching Since the other botanists were unable to identify those ants, Fisher reached out to an ant scientist to gain further knowledge. Then he became an entomologist, or a scientist who studies insects. Soon, Fisher set himself the goal of identifying every species of ant in the world, and he aims to construct a tree of ant species. Fisher, along with his team, has already succeeded in identifying a complete subfamily of ants.
It was his ant species tree that led Fisher to Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa. During his research in Madagascar’s six-month rainy season — which is ideal for observing ants — he endured severe illnesses, and he and his team faced frequent rainstorms, broken bridges, rough roads, and such challenges as pushing cars free of mud. Yet his work in that region has extended far beyond the study of ants.
“You cannot preserve a forest when the people living nearby are hungry,” he states, so he sought out methods to assist those individuals. He developed a new method for farming eatable insects, which he then taught to the people of Madagascar.
Fisher understands what is required to build a career in the field of science. “To survive as a scientist,” he explains, “you must be motivated, driven, and fully focused.” He also emphasizes that being a good writer is essential, as it allows you to “share your story in an engaging way that will make people want to read your work.” Once Fisher’s species tree is fully completed, it may unlock an entirely new world of ant research. However, two major challenges stand in the way: climate change and human intervention. How can we study ants if their natural habitats are disappearing? Fisher hopes he can interest people in the significance of Earth’s biodiversity.
4. What initially contributed to Fisher’s changing his career?
A. His childhood dream of saving ants.
B. The aim of creating an ant species tree.
C. His experience of studying plants.
D. The ant scientist’s encouragement.
5. Which word best describes Fisher’s journey in Madagascar?
A. Eventful. B. Debatable. C. Unsuccessful. D. Costly.
6. What does Fisher infer to do?
A Focus on scientific writing. B. Protect the natural ecology.
C. Improve farming techniques. D. Learn about ant species’ habitats.
7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote Fisher’s ant species tree.
B. To explain Fisher’s research methods.
C. To introduce Fisher’s career philosophy.
D. To outline Fisher’s ant research and contributions.

In an era when screens dominate our daily lives, digital eye strain has emerged as a significant public health issue affecting millions worldwide Digital eye strain, which is characterized by a range of symptoms such as dryness, watering, burning, and even double vision, extends beyond mere discomfort to signal the potential presence of long-term conditions that can significantly affect an individual’s quality of life and productivity.
When we are focusing on digital displays, our blink (眨眼) rate falls, and our eyes strain to maintain focus on near objects for extended periods. Reduced blinking and sustained near focus can give rise to eye issues. These symptoms are often short-lived, but if left untreated, they can become ongoing and very difficult to deal with.
The 20-20-20 rule is a simple but effective strategy for protecting our eyes against digital strain. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to focus on something 20 feet away. This brief break allows our eye muscles to relax, reducing the strain associated with constant near-focus work. Environmental factors also play a fundamental role in maintaining eye comfort during screen use. Proper lighting, adequate humidity, and good air quality can significantly affect eye health.
Emerging therapies, which are being developed to tackle the growing problem of screen caused eye damage, offer new hope for the more effective management of digital eye strain. Among these, novel TRPM8 agonists (激动剂) — acting like precise keys — show great potential in relieving dry-eye discomfort.
In this digital age, it’s important to take measures to protect our vision. By recognizing the signs of digital eye strain, implementing protective strategies, and seeking timely professional care, we can reduce the risks associated with our screen-dependent lifestyles.
8. What can be implied from paragraph 1?
A. Using a computer leads to eye disorders.
B. Eye symptoms have affected most people.
C. Eye health determines people’s productivity.
D. We should emphasize the risks of digital eye strain.
9. Which factor is related to digital eye strain?
A. Blinking for a long time. B. Looking at many objects.
C. A decrease in blinking. D. The change of near focus.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Eye symptom types. B. Relative treatment methods.
C. Eye protection strategies. D. Professional exam processes.
11. What can we know about the TRPM8 agonists from the text?
A. Their effect remains uncertain. B. They are precise keys.
C. They require further research. D. Their future is promising.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D

A theme at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Switzerland was the perceived need to “speed up breakthroughs in research and technology”. Some of this framing was motivated by the climate emergency, some by the opportunities and challenges presented by generative artificial intelligence. Yet in various conversations, it seemed to be taken for granted that to address the world’s problems, scientific research needs to move faster. The WEF mindset is similar to the Silicon Valley dictate — to move fast and break things. But what if the thing being broken is science? Or public trust?
In recent years we’ve seen important papers, written by outstanding scientists and published in celebrated journals, taken back because of questionable data or methods, hence a question: Ate scholars at supercompetitive places such as Harvard and Stanford rushing to publish rather than taking the time to do their work right?
It’s impossible to answer this question scientifically because there’s no scientific definition of what constitutes “rushing”. But there’s little doubt that we live in a culture where academics at leading universities are under tremendous pressure to produce results — and a lot of them — quickly.
The problem is not unique to the U.S. In Europe, formal research assessments, which are used to distribute future funding, have for years judged academic departments largely on the quantity of their output. Due to the fact that the existing system has created a “counterincentive” to advancement in science, a reform is underway urging an emphasis on quality over quantity.
Good science takes time. More than 50 years passed before Copernicus’s On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, published in 1543, gained widespread acceptance. And it took just about half a century for geologists and geophysicists to accept geophysicist Alfred Wegener’s idea of continental drift.
There’s plenty of evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the massive volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust.
12. WEF meeting in Switzerland advocated that ________.
A. WEF and Silicon Valley reach an agreement to move fast
B. public trust in science is not supposed to be easily broken
C. researchers need to achieve breakthroughs more rapidly
D. climate emergency and AI push scientific research hard
13. The underlined word “counterincentive” in paragraph 4 refers to a(n) _________ factor.
A. unfair B. decisive C. rational D. discouraging
14. Which of the following examples fails to prove that good science takes time?
A. Distinguished scholars’ tremendous output.
B. Publication of Copernicus’s theory.
C. Withdrawal of important papers.
D. Acceptance of the idea of continental drift.
15. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Principle behind Research Assessments
B. Trouble of Fast Science
C. Choice between Quantity and Quality
D. Collapse of Public Trust
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B

(要从科学的角度回答这个问题是不可能的,因为对于“匆忙”这一概念没有科学的定义。但毫无疑问,我们生活在一种文化中,顶尖大学的学者们面临着巨大的压力,需要迅速取得成果——而且是大量的成果)”可知,“知名学者的巨大成果”只能解释成果巨大,并不能解释良好的科学需要时间。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“There’s plenty of evidence that scientists and other scholars are pushing results out far faster than they used to. Consider the massive volume of academic papers being published these days. One recent study put the number at more than seven million a year, compared with fewer than a million as recently as 1980. Some of this growth is driven by more scientists and more co-authorship of papers, but the numbers also suggest that the research world has prioritized quantity over quality. Researchers may need to slow down if we are to produce knowledge worthy of trust. (有大量的间接证据表明,科学家和其他学者推出结果的速度比过去快得多。想想最近发表的学术论文的数量吧。最近的一项研究显示,这一数字每年超过700万,而就在1980年,这一数字还不到100万。这一增长部分是由更多的科学家和更多的论文合著者推动的,但这些数字也表明,研究界更看重数量而不是质量。如果我们要产生值得信任的知识,研究人员可能需要放慢速度)”以及文章内容可知,文章主要介绍了科学研究被期望快速进展的困境,并指出这种快节奏的研究可能会带来的问题。所以“快车道科学的问题”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers, at least so far. Data leaks, surveillance (监视) worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seat backs and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious. ____16____ Fortunately, there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air. These tips can help you deal with these troubles.
____17____ “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re travelling to somewhere, reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,” says Danny Mcloughlin. “That puts your security at risk.” Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos.
Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras. Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices. If the rental comes with cameras, ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep. ____18____
Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles — or mishandles — your data, you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble. ____19____. But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel. For example, a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in. You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/her to write your room number on a piece of paper. Why? ____20____ Just to be sure, never leave the customer copy behind. You can destroy it later, but keep it under your control.
A. It’s never been better.
B. Perhaps they shouldn’t be.
C. Never broadcast your journey on social media.
D. There are other people on the other side of the wall.
E. However, travelers are not powerless against these threats.

However, a shift from praising intelligence to praising effort could cultivate a growth mindset and ____27____ learning. The idea of celebrating persistence quickly made its way into widely-shared articles, ____28____ books and popular TED talks.
The problem is that we’ve taken this practice too far. We’ve gone from ____29____ effort to treating it as an end in itself. We’ve failed to remind a generation of kids that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job, ____30____ being a good person. What worries me most is that valuing perseverance above all else can motivate people to ____31____ bad strategies instead of developing better ones. A typical example is staying up all night rather than studying a little each day for a few days. If they don’t get an A, they often protest.
Teachers and parents ____32____ kids a more balanced message. We award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest for good reasons. What counts is not just effort but the progress and performance that follow. The ideal ____33____ to a disappointing grade is to ask how you could have gotten a better return on your ____34____.

47. 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。
Stacey Taylor, a tenth-grader, adored journalist Nellie Bly and dreamed of following in her footsteps. On her first day at Walker Senior High School, she was nervous but excited, knowing that her best friend Mandy would be with her. They’d stuck together from elementary school to junior high school, claiming bus seats, sitting together at lunch, and being the best in gym teams.
However, Stacey was assigned to the advanced classes, separated from Mandy in English. science, math, and social studies. She was in low spirits in her new English class until her teacher, who was also the adviser to the school newspaper, invited students to attend the first meeting next Tuesday. Her heart raced — this was her chance to be a real journalist like Nellie Bly.
Later, in gym, the coach announced soccer tryouts. Stacey and Mandy cheered, hoping to be on the team together — until Stacey heard soccer practice was every Tuesday, which conflicted with newspaper meetings. Stacey was torn. She talked to her English teacher, but he stressed commitment to the newspaper, just as the coach did for soccer. Her dad advised her to list the advantages and disadvantages: playing soccer meant staying with her best friend while writing for the newspaper meant pursuing her dream of journalism. She struggled, calling the choice “simply awful.”
At Saturday’s soccer tryouts, the field was crowded and Stacey played well with Mandy. Unsurprisingly, when the team list came out on Monday, it showed that both of them made it. Seized with confusion instead of joy, Stacey leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. Noticing her strangeness, Jonathan, the soccer team’s manager who used a wheelchair, approached her with concern. Learning her problem, he shared his own story. He loved soccer, but due to his physical condition, he couldn’t join the soccer team. However, he didn’t give up. Instead, he became the team manager. And he encouraged Stacey to think creatively to find a solution that could satisfy both her needs to maintain friendships and pursue her dream.

【答案】范文
Thinking over Jonathan’s words, Stacey consulted her dad again. Patient and concerned, he asked Stacey if she had made her choice. Shaking her head helplessly, she told the story of Jonathan, inquiring what the perfect solution would be. He wrote SOCCER and NEWSPAPER on the paper, thought for a while, and then added a plus sign between them. The words were like a ray of sunlight driving away the fog in front of Stacey. “I can be a sports journalist!” Stacey shouted, her previously knotted brows replaced by a joyful smile.
As a sports journalist, Stacey came to report the soccer team’s first training after tryouts. Notebook in hand, she felt a thrilling sense of purpose. Mandy, spotting her, waved enthusiastically from the field. Responding with a bright smile, Stacey started her mission — interviewing the coach about his strategy for the season. She even sought out Jonathan, whose insightful advice had changed everything, and extended her sincere gratitude. He beamed with pride, happy to see her new identity. At that moment, Stacey realized she had turned a difficult choice into a new beginning by thinking creatively.
