In the workplace,we have to be able to deal with people who aren't like us.No one will change for you,so you just have to respect their differences.When identifying personality types,I like to talk in terms of fruit.Nobody is just one fruit,but we all have a preference.And we tend to emphasize our top two,especially under pressure.Here are some fruit personalities and how best to deal with them.

B My undergraduate student needed advice after yet another failed experiment.Sitting across from me,she looked exhausted-frustrated even.I heard myself say,"This is part of research. You just have to push through."But even as the words left my mouth,I felt uneasy.She nodded silently and shifted her posture.Afterward,she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether.I tried to explain it away:undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework,lose interest or change direction,but deep down,I wondered what I could have done differently. I became a mentor()during my second year of Ph.D.but didn't get much guidance on how to do it.I learned only by doing.There were moments I felt proud of.One student started out quiet and unsure,but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating,she told me,"You are the reason I stuck with this."That moment stayed with me.But so did the other one-the silence,the absences,the slow fade-out.Had I failed her? It wasn't until the final year of my Ph.D.that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop.Skeptical at first,I decided to try it.The program,called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions.For the first time,I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring.One session asked us to reflect on our own practices.I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away.I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns.I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. After the workshop,I began changing how I interacted with students.I now start by asking how they're doing,not just experimental details.This shift has led to more honest conversations. I've learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training.I wish I'd attended that workshop earlier,but I'm grateful I did at all. 试卷第2页，共8页 24.What drove the student to seek help from her mentor? A.Demanding research challenges. B.Overwhelming academic workload. C.Repeated failures in research. D.Unattended inner struggles. 25.Why did the author mention the transformation of another student? A.To highlight contrast in mentoring results. B.To showcase his pride in her achievement. C.To explain his own research breakthrough D.To illustrate his lack of proper guidance 26.What did the workshop mainly focus on? A.Developing excellent academic research skills. B.Encouraging discussions among graduate students. C.Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring. D.Displaying diverse personal mentoring approaches 27.Which of the following can best describe the author? A.Responsible and reflective. B.Talented and intelligent. C.Thoughtful and ambitious. D.Disciplined and considerate. c When we think about lives filled with meaning,we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity.Abraham Lincoln,Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile life.But how about us ordinary people,struggling in a typical existence? There is an important element to consider.Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery at the top of a hill after a fresh hike.Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty.When people are open to appreciating such experiences,these moments may enhance how they view their life.This element is defined as EA (experiential appreciation)by Joshua Hicks,a psychological professor at Texas A M University. Recently,he and his research team set out to figure out whether EA was related to a person's sense of meaning in a series of studies that involved more than 3,000 participants.At an initial test,researchers had participants rate their agreement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress.They found people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life's beauty also reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. Researchers then conducted a series of experiments,in which they gave participants specific tasks and,once more,asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose,etc.In one case,participants who watched an awe-inspiring video reported having a greater sense of EA and meaning in life,compared with those watched more neutral videos.After reflecting on the results collected from the participants,researchers confirmed their original theory. But applying that insight can be difficult.Our modern,fast-paced lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals.We are on the go,and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment.We should slow down,let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday life. 28.Why are the butterfly and the scenery on a hill mentioned in paragraph 2? 试卷第3页，共8页 A.To deliver moments of beauty.B.To explain personal experiences. C.To present the concept of EA.D.To show the necessity of protecting nature. 29.How did the researchers conduct the study? A.By studying previous research data. B.By analyzing the response from the participants. C.By shooting videos starring the participants. D.By designing different strategies to reduce stress. 30.Who tends to find life more meaningful according to the text? A.A person who always gets her life well-organized. B.A person who leads a fast-paced life. C.A person who often hears motivating speeches. D.A person who always expects future results. 31.What life philosophy does the author show in the last paragraph? A.No pains,no gains. B.Live your life one day at a time. C.Where there is a will,there is a way. D.Those who believe in their ability can do anything. D Most people in the Netherlands are convinced that their consumption patterns affect the environment.Many of them are looking for ways to reduce their footprint.However,the reality is more complicated,according to a research by Leiden PhD candidate Levon Amatuni,who studied car sharing and the reuse of phones.He used his background in computer science and mathematics to model and measure the benefits of such practices. His research shows users of car-sharing platforms reduce their impact by only 3 to 18 percent-much less than 51 or 37 percent claimed in previous research.This is caused by so-called "rebound effects",which are rarely accounted for by companies or even researchers. For example,shared vehicles are replaced with new models more frequently than private cars.Additionally,the introduction of sharing schemes (can encourage people to drive when they would have otherwise taken public transport.These rebound effects turn out to be highly influential.Amatuni also found users of sharing platforms don't significantly reduce their driving."And if they do,they often take buses and trains,which aren't emission-free,"he says. While public transport is usually a better option,its impact is not negligible.So,this data must be included to make an accurate assessment. Similarly,Amatuni discovered that a second-hand phone only offsets (about one-third of a new phone's production.Rebound effects are the cause.If people couldn't sell their old devices,they would use them for longer. In other words,reuse both extends the lifetime of a device-by giving it a new owner- but also shortens it,as people tend to sell their newly bought devices sooner. Amatuni doesn't want people to conclude taking small steps towards sustainability is pointless."Our intentions are still what's most important,"he says,"but meanwhile,people need to realise there're no easy fixes."He recommends prioritising overall consumption reduction rather than continuing current habits while trying to make them more efficient. 32.What is the focus of Amatuni's research? A.The ways of reducing people's footprint. B.The benefits of car sharing and phone reuse. 试卷第4页，共8页 C.The damage of public transport to the environment. D.The knowledge of computer science and mathematics. 33.Which of the following represents a phone rebound effect? A.Buying new phones often. B.Keeping old phones in use. C.Taking care of new phones. D.Selling used phones cheaply. 34.What is Amatuni's suggestion on promoting sustainability? A.Stop eco-friendly habits. B.Increase production efficiency. C.Reduce total resource use. D.Seek easy solutions to eco-crisis. 35.What is the best title for the passage? A.Ways to Live a More Sustainable Life B.Rebound Effects Hidden in Green Practices C.New Research on Shared Cars and Used Phones D.How to Accurately Measure Environmental Impact 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Choose Optimism Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces,and each of us must choose which we want to shape our outlook and our expectations.There is enough good and bad in everyone's life to find a sensible basis for either optimism or pessimism.36 It's our decision:From which perspective do we want to view life?Will we look up in hope or down in despair? 37 The way you look at life will determine how you feel,how you perform and how well you will get along with the other people.On the contrary,negative thoughts,attitudes, and expectations feed on themselves;they become a self-fulfilling prediction.Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live. Optimism doesn't need to be naive )38 Some of them are not dealt with easily.But what a difference optimism makes in the attitude of the problem solver!For example, through the years I've heard some people say that the money spent on our space program has been wasted."Instead of spending $455 million to put a man on the moon,"they say,"why not spend that money here on earth on the poverty problem?"But when you ask them exactly how they would spend that money to solve the poverty problem,most of them don't have an answer. “Give me a solution,”I tell them,“andI'll raise you the money..”An optimist does not just criticize.39 Optimism distracts our attention away from negativism and channels it into positive, constructive thinking.When you're an optimist,you're more concerned with problem-solving than with useless complaints about issues.40 It takes a dreamer-someone with hopelessly optimistic ideas,great persistence,and unlimited confidence to tackle a problem that big.It's your choice. A.The good in life far outweighs the bad. B.We can choose to laugh or cry,bless or curse ( C.An optimistic attitude is not a luxury;it's a necessity. D.He thinks in positive terms about how to address the issue E.You can be an optimist and still recognize that problems exist. F.In fact,without optimism,issues as big and ongoing as poverty have no hope of solution. G.America's space program resulted in many positive discoveries that have benefited mankind. 试糁第5页，共8页 第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 How long have you been going to the same hairdresser or barber?It's a question that gets us thinking about the unique friendship we 41 with our stylists over the years.

His fingers tapped nervously on his backpack as his mom told him the moving company had found some lost boxes from their recent move,and she could get them that afternoon. A feeling of hope rose in Jack's heart.He asked quietly if Big Dog might be in the boxes. Grandpa had bought the treasured toy dog for him at the fair three years before.Though now eight years old,Jack still needed his old friend back on the shelf above his bed,which had been empty since they moved. His mom said she wasn't sure.Her voice trembled as she added that the photo albums were confirmed lost by the company-all those precious pictures of festive occasions,birthday celebrations,and family gatherings were gone.Jack recognized that voice,the one that she used when trying to be strong.He knew what the albums meant to her.She promised to check the boxes carefully before picking him up,giving his shoulder a comforting pat(). All day at school,Jack found it hard to sit still,his eyes constantly darting (to the clock. During math class,he missed Big Dog's lovely eyes.At lunch,he recalled Grandma's warm hug and bright smile from those lost photos.On the playground,his mind wandered back to the joy of their whole family together-laughing and running along the beach under a clear blue sky. As the art class bell finally rang,Mr.Light announced,"Today you are free to draw anything you wish."Jack stared at the blank paper,memories rushing back.The sad face of his mom popped up and then an idea came to him-maybe he could find a new way to save those memories 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 He knew what he could draw.
