Inspired by The Economist’s recent alternative summer reading list for CEOs, the10Eighty, a leading HR consultancy firm, offers the following suggestions for summer reading.
The Undercover Economist
A favourite of the 10Eighty team is Tim Harford’s The Undercover Economist — if you’ve ever wondered why the gap between the rich and the poor is so great, then this book is for you. Relatable and engaging, Harford highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, from buying a coffee to sitting in a traffic jam. He exposes how coffee shops, supermarkets and airlines convince us to part with our money, shedding light on how to apply economic principles to everyday life.
Slow Productivity
10Eighty’s researcher also recommends Slow Productivity by Cal Newport for the summer reading list. In the modern workplace workers feel pushed to the edge by continual meetings, overflowing inboxes, non-stop busywork and office rules that laugh at autonomy and agency. Newport offers alternative strategies for knowledge workers to do the best work of their lives by taking a slower approach to work that matters.
Tom Sawyer
Few books are better at sparking eagerness to act than Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer. Forced to paint a fence white rather than play with his friends, naughty Tom finds a way to make it seem so appealing that the local kids want to do it — and end up paying Tom for the privilege. Business-school professors call it “psychic rewards”.
What is your favorite from this summer reading list? Why not share your ideas with us below?
1. What does Cal Newport suggest knowledge workers do?
A. Slow down to tackle key tasks. B. Stay off the endless busywork.
C. Innovate antiquated office rules. D. Accomplish workload confidently.
2. According to the passage, why is Tom Sawyer recommended for summer reading?
A. It specifies the “psychic rewards”. B. It stimulates motivation effectively.
C. It shares an exciting kids’ adventure tale. D. It illustrates how to deal with naughty kids.
3. How does Tim Harford make economics accessible in The Undercover Economist?
A. By analyzing economic theories in depth. B. By explaining the cause of the wealth gap.
C. By connecting economic concepts to daily life. D. By revealing how businesses fuel consumption.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了10Eighty这家领先的人力资源咨询公司受《经济学人》启发,为夏季阅读提供了一些书籍建议,包括《卧底经济学家》《慢节奏生产力》和《汤姆·索亚历险记》,并介绍了每本书的亮点和推荐理由。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Slow Productivity中的“Newport offers alternative strategies for knowledge workers to do the best work of their lives by taking a slower approach to work that matters. (Newport为知识工作者提供了替代策略,让他们通过更慢的方式处理重要的工作,从而完成一生中最好的工作)”可知,Cal Newport建议知识工作者放慢速度来处理关键任务。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Tom Sawyer中的“Few books are better at sparking eagerness to act than Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer. (很少有书能比马克·吐温的《汤姆·索亚历险记》更能激发行动的渴望)”可知,《汤姆·索亚历险记》被推荐为夏季阅读书籍是因为它能有效地激发动力。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Undercover Economist中的“Relatable and engaging, Harford highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, from buying a coffee to sitting in a traffic jam. He exposes how coffee shops, supermarkets and airlines convince us to part with our money, shedding light on how to apply economic principles to everyday life. (Harford的书既贴近生活又引人入胜,他强调了经济学与日常生活的相关性,从买咖啡到堵车。他揭示了咖啡店、超市和航空公司如何说服我们花钱,并阐明了如何将经济原理应用于日常生活)”可知,Tim Harford通过将经济概念与日常生活联系起来,使经济学变得通俗易懂。

Troubled by scoliosis (脊柱侧弯) since the age of four — a condition that causes the spine (脊柱) to curve abnormally and affects roughly 100, 000 children in America each year — Anne had to wear a rigid plastic brace (支架) 19 to 22 hours a day to prevent the curve from exacerbating as she grew.
Most of her classmates were kind. Still, Anne often felt set apart. In quiet moments, a sense of loneliness would wash over her — she was tired of feeling different from everyone else.
That year, the Easter Bunny brought her a basket with a special doll. The doll, Chelsea, is Barbie’s sister, and she, too, wore a back brace for scoliosis. “She’s just like me!” Anne cried to her mother, Nicole, who smiled as the little girl examined every detail, right down to the doll’s curved spine. Anne played with Chelsea every day, bringing the doll everywhere. She felt a sisterhood with another girl like her.
Weeks later, Anne voiced a heartfelt wish: “Mom, I wish all girls with scoliosis could have this doll so they don’t ever feel alone either.” Nicole saw renewed determination in her daughter’s eyes and helped turn the idea into a family mission. Anne’s twin brother and her dad all jumped in to help. They launched their efforts by starting a lemonade stand during a neighborhood sale, and then created a GoFundMe page on the Internet.
After a local news station featured their story, the doll’s maker stepped in to support the cause, supplying all the dolls they needed. What began as a goal to donate50 dolls quickly grew beyond expectation. Now 11 years old, Anne and her family have donated more than 870 Chelsea dolls to hospitals nationwide, bringing smiles to countless children.
“Even if you feel alone, you’re not.” she shared. “Everybody has something. It’s what you do with it that matters — so choose to help others to be strong in their journey.”
4. What does the underlined word “exacerbating” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. progressing B. improving C. examining D. curing
5. Why did Anne love the Chelsea doll so much?
A. It was rare and delicate. B. It mirrored her situation.
C. It looked like her lovely sister. D. It was a gift given by her sister.
6. How did Anne’s family first raise money?
A. By running a drink stand. B. By applying for a webpage.
C. By selling lemonade online. D. By organizing a neighborhood sale.
7. What message did Anne want to convey through the dolls?
A. Charity begins at home. B. Fortune favors the brave.
C. Be the light you want to see. D. Stay positive when facing difficulty.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了患有脊柱侧弯的Anne收到一个同样戴支架的玩偶后,决定帮助其他患病女孩的故事。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Anne had to wear a rigid plastic brace (支架) 19 to 22 hours a day to prevent the curve from exacerbating as she grew.(安妮每天必须戴19到22个小时的硬塑料支架,以防止随着她的成长,脊柱侧弯情况exacerbating)”可知,戴硬塑料支架是为了防止脊柱侧弯情况加重,exacerbating意思是“恶化,加重”,与progressing意思相近。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The doll, Chelsea, is Barbie’s sister, and she, too, wore a back brace for scoliosis. “She’s just like me!” Anne cried to her mother(这个玩偶切尔西是芭比的妹妹,她也因为脊柱侧弯戴着背部支架。安妮哭着对妈妈说:“她就像我一样!”)”可知,安妮非常喜欢切尔西玩偶是因为这个玩偶和她一样患有脊柱侧弯,反映了她的处境。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“They launched their efforts by starting a lemonade stand during a neighborhood sale, and then created a GoFundMe page on the Internet.(他们首先在社区义卖期间开了一个柠檬水摊,然后在网上创建了一个GoFundMe页面来发起努力。)”可知,安妮的家人最初是通过经营一个饮料摊来筹集资金的。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Even if you feel alone, you’re not.” she shared. “Everybody has something. It’s what you do with it that matters — so choose to help others to be strong in their journey.”(“即使你感到孤独,你也不是一个人。”她分享道。“每个人都有自己的问题。重要的是你如何处理它——所以选择帮助别人,让他们在旅途中变得坚强。”)”可知,安妮想通过玩偶传达的信息是在面对困难时要保持积极乐观的态度。
C
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
8. What are cities like DC trying to do?
A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings.
C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home.
9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3?
A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs.
10. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion?
A. Realistic. B. Far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More
C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国许多城市面临办公室空置率高和住房短缺的双重危机,一些城市开始尝试将空置的办公楼改造成住宅,以同时缓解这两个问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. (像华盛顿特区这样的城市现在正押注于通过将空置的办公室改造成住宅,让一个危机帮助解决另一个危机)”可知,华盛顿特区等城市正试图重新利用空置的办公室。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. (计划包括游泳池和狗狗公园等豪华设施,预计月租金约为4000美元。然而,将有60套单元被留作经济适用房)”可知,该项目既包含高租金的高端单元,也包含经济适用房单元,在追求商业回报的同时也兼顾了社会需求。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” (但她认为这些项目仍然很重要,“就提供一些住房供应而言,这确实是一举两得”)”可知,Tracy Loh认为这种改造是现实的、可行的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential. (但对于华盛顿特区杜邦环岛外的这间空置办公室,房地产开发商看到了潜力)”以及后文关于将空置办公室改造成住宅的讨论可知,本文主要讲述了将办公室改造成住宅的趋势。故C项“Offices Are Becoming Homes (办公室正在变成住宅)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选C项。
D
Saying they can no longer ignore the rising prices of health care, some of the most influential medical groups in the nation are recommending that doctors weigh the costs, not just the effectiveness of treatments, as they make decisions about patient care.
The shift, little noticed outside the medical establishment but already controversial inside it, suggests that doctors are starting to redefine their roles, from being concerned exclusively about individual patients to exerting influence on how healthcare dollars are spent. In practical terms, the new guidelines being developed could result in doctors choosing one drug over another for cost reasons or even deciding that a particular treatment — at the end of life, for example — is too expensive. In the extreme, some critics have said that making treatment decisions based on cost is a form of rationing (配给制) .
Some doctors see a potential conflict in trying to be both providers of patient care and financial overseers. “There should be forces in society who should be concerned about the budget, but they shouldn’t be functioning simultaneously as doctors.” said Dr. Martin Samuels at a Boston hospital. He said doctors risked losing the trust of patients if they told patients, “I’m not going to do what I think is best for you because I think it’s bad for the healthcare budget in Massachusetts.”
Doctors can face some grim trade-offs. Studies have shown, for example, that two drugs are about equally effective in treating macular degeneration, an eye disease. But one costs 50 dollars and the other close to 2, 000 dollars. Medicare could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year if everyone used the cheaper drug, Avastin, instead of the costlier one, Lucentis. But the Food and Drug Administration has not approved Avastin for use in the eye. And using it rather than the alternative, Lucentis, might carry an additional, although slight, safety risk. Should doctors consider Medicare’s budget in deciding what to use?
Still, some analysts say that there’s a role for doctors to play in cost analysis because not many others are doing so. “In some ways,” said Dr. Daniel Sulmasy, “it represents a failure of wider society to take up the issue.”
12. What do some most influential medical groups recommend doctors do?
A. Reflect on the responsibilities they are supposed to take.
B. Readjust their practice in view of the cuts in health care.
C. Take costs into account when making treatment decisions.
D. Pay more attention to the effectiveness of their treatments.
13. What may the new guidelines being developed lead to?
A. The redefining of doctors’ roles. B. Overuse of less effective medicines.
C. The prolonging of patients’ suffering. D. Conflicts between doctors and patients.
14. What risk do doctors see in their dual role as patient care providers and financial overseers?
A. They may lose the respect of patients. B. They may have to use less effective drugs.
C. They may be forced to divide their attention. D. They may be involved in a conflict of interest.
15. What do some experts say about doctors’ involvement in medical cost analysis?
A. It may add to doctors’ already heavy workloads.
B. It will help to save money for society as a whole.
C. It results from society’s failure to tackle the problem.
D. It raises doctors’ awareness of their social responsibilities.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述美国医疗成本不断上涨,权威医疗组织建议医生诊疗时不仅考虑治疗效果,还要兼顾医疗费用;由此引发医生角色重新定位、医患信任隐患、医疗费用与治疗安全的两难权衡,以及社会层面对医疗成本管控责任缺失的反思。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Saying they can no longer ignore the rising prices of health care, some of the most influential medical groups in the nation are recommending that doctors weigh the costs, not just the effectiveness of treatments, as they make decisions about patient care.(一些最具影响力的医疗组织表示,他们再也无法对医疗费用的持续上涨置之不理了。这些组织建议医生在做出患者治疗决策时,不仅要考虑治疗的效果,还要考虑其成本)”可知,一些最有影响力的医疗团体建议医生在做出治疗决策时要考虑成本。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The shift, little noticed outside the medical establishment but already controversial inside it, suggests that doctors are starting to redefine their roles, from being concerned exclusively about individual patients to exerting influence on how healthcare dollars are spent.(这一转变在医学界以外鲜为人知,但在医学界内部已经引起争议,这表明医生们开始重新定义自己的角色,从只关注个别患者到影响医疗费用的支出方式)”可知,正在制定的新准则可能导致医生角色的重新定义。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Some doctors see a potential conflict in trying to be both providers of patient care and financial overseers. “There should be forces in society who should be concerned about the budget, but they shouldn’t be functioning simultaneously as doctors.” said Dr. Martin Samuels at a Boston hospital. He said doctors risked losing the trust of patients if they told patients, “I’m not going to do what I think is best for you because I think it’s bad for the healthcare budget in Massachusetts.”(部分医生认为,同时承担患者诊疗服务提供者与财务监督者的双重角色可能存在潜在利益冲突。“社会中应当存在关注预算问题的相关力量,但他们不应同时担任医生职务。”波士顿一家医院的马丁·塞缪尔斯博士如是说道。他表示,如果医生告诉患者:“我不会采取我认为对你最有利的治疗方案,因为这会损害马萨诸塞州的医疗预算”,就可能失去患者的信任)”可推知,医生们认为他们作为患者护理提供者和财务监督者的双重角色可能会失去患者的尊重。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Still, some analysts say that there’s a role for doctors to play in cost analysis because not many others are doing so. “In some ways,” said Dr. Daniel Sulmasy, “it represents a failure of wider society to take up the issue.” (尽管如此,一些分析师认为医生在成本分析中仍扮演着重要角色,因为目前很少有其他专业人士从事这一工作。“从某些方面来看,”丹尼尔·苏尔马西博士表示,“这反映了整个社会未能正视这一问题。”)”可知,一些专家认为医生参与医疗成本分析是社会未能解决这个问题的结果。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了寒衣节的别称、时间、地位、习俗、起源及相关传说,展现其作为中国传统祭祀节日的文化内涵。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:寒衣节,又称冬衣节、祭祖节或十月朝,是中国一个重要的传统纪念日子。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,refer与逻辑主语The Hanyi Festival之间为被动关系,常用be referred to as结构,此处省略be动词,用过去分词形式。故填referred。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:它在每年农历十月初一庆祝。此处表示“在具体的某一天”常用介词on,结合空后的the first day of the tenth month of the traditional Chinese calendar,可知此处用介词on。故填on。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:寒衣节与春季的清明节、夏季的中元节并称为中国三大“鬼节”之一。此处为谓语动词,主语The Hanyi Festival为单数形式,together with连接两个主语时,谓语动词的单复数由前面的主语决定;且主语与regard之间为被动关系,意为“被认为”,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is regarded。
【39题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:在这一天,人们通过庄重而真挚的仪式,向逝者传递温暖与关怀,表达爱意、敬意和孝心。此处特指“亡故的人”,deceased前常用定冠词the,the deceased表示“逝者,死者”,为固定搭配。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:在这一天,人们通过庄重而真挚的仪式,向逝者传递温暖与关怀,表达爱意、敬意和孝心。此处与love、honor并列,作expressing的宾语,应用名词形式,devote的名词形式为devotion,意为“奉献,孝心”,为不可数名词。故填devotion。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这个节日的起源可以追溯到周朝,当时人们有赠送冬衣的习俗。此处为谓语动词,date back to意为“追溯到”,常用一般现在时,主语The origin为单数形式,所以用dates。故填dates。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:孟姜女的传说让这一习俗更具情感深度。此处作gained的宾语,应用名词形式,deep的名词形式为depth,意为“深度”,为不可数名词。故填depth。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:孟姜女千里迢迢为修筑长城的丈夫送冬衣,却发现丈夫早已离世。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Lady Meng Jiang,关系词在从句中作主语,指人,所以用关系代词who。故填who。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:孟姜女千里迢迢为修筑长城的丈夫送冬衣,却发现丈夫早已离世。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,build与逻辑主语her husband之间为主动关系,表示“正在修筑长城的丈夫”,用现在分词形式building。故填building。
【45题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:她的故事启发了后人也为自己的祖先烧纸衣。此处修饰名词ancestors,应用形容词性物主代词,they的形容词性物主代词为their,their own表示“他们自己的”,符合语境。故填their。

六、读后续写 (满分30分,其中内容占25分,书写占5分)

Sandro was born and grew up in Milan. Until he was 13 years old, he never wanted to leave his hometown. But last year, Sandro’s father’s investment went bad, wiping out the family and sending his parents to prison. As a teenager under 16 years old, Sandro was forced to go to Newcastle in the northeast of England to stay with his uncle Lawrence.
Sandro had a lot of difficulties in the new environment. He didn’t like the food in England. Nobody could forecast the weather in Newcastle. He had to start learning the second foreign language in his new school. Pocket money was not enough as usual. Almost every subject was a challenge for him. Most importantly, he had no friends. It seemed nobody knew him and he knew nobody in the school.
On an early summer evening, when Sandro was going home alone from school as usual, a man called him from behind. Sandro turned around and saw Eddie, his PE teacher, standing in front of him.
“You know, the school will have a swimming competition next month. There will be all kinds of races. Will you participate?” Eddie asked.
Sandro took a look at Eddie with doubt and answered, “You sure? Me? No. I won’t. I can swim, but I’m slower than a snail.”
Eddie smiled and then said, “Yes. Indeed. You are, in breaststroke(蛙泳), in backstroke, and in butterfly, but not in freestyle. So join the freestyle race! 200-meter freestyle is the game suitable for you.”
Sandro was speechless at that moment. He had never known someone in the school was observing him and caring for him.
“I don’t think I can win anything,” Sandro was still a little puzzled.
“But you may get more recognition and consequently you can make some friends. That is more important than prizes,” Eddie responded immediately.
Having hesitated for a while, Sandro agreed to have a try.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Every afternoon for the next month, Sandro trained really hard.

Sandro dived into the pool confidently like other competitors.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Every afternoon for the next month, Sandro trained really hard. Starting position, starting dive, turning, pushing off, touching the timing pad, all details, he practiced them over and over. Whenever he was exhausted, Eddie’s words echoed in his mind and supplied extra energy to him. “Maybe I can’t be the champion of the game, but I can be the champion for myself.” He spoke in a low mumble to himself after he finished the last training. Finally, the day of competition arrived. With the sound of the starting gun piercing through the air, the race began as expected.
Sandro dived into the pool confidently like other competitors. He swam as freely as a fish. 150 meters covered, he was left behind by 2 competitors. In the last 50 meters, Sandro swam magnificently, with his arms pushing forward fast, his legs hitting the water hard. Finally, the championship was still out of his reach. When the result was announced that Sandro won third place, however, other players congratulated him, the audience in the stadium bursting into thunderous applause. As teacher Eddie said, he won the recognition and respect from others with his effort.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Sandro的家庭遭遇变故,他被迫去新环境生活,为此遇到了很多困难,在Eddie老师的建议下Sandro参加比赛,虽然未能获得冠军,但是他的努力得到了大家的认可。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的一个月里,Sandro每天下午都刻苦训练。”可知,第一段可描写Sandro刻苦训练的过程,虽然很辛苦,但是没有放弃。
②由第二段首句内容“Sandro像其他选手一样自信地跳入游泳池。”可知,第二段可描写Sandro参加比赛的过程,全力以赴,虽然没能赢得冠军,但是他的努力赢得了别人的认可和尊重。
2. 续写线索:刻苦训练——筋疲力尽——仍不放弃——参加比赛——全力以赴——比赛结果——赢得了别人的认可和尊重

A
Inspired by The Economist’s recent alternative summer reading list for CEOs, the10Eighty, a leading HR consultancy firm, offers the following suggestions for summer reading.
The Undercover Economist
A favourite of the 10Eighty team is Tim Harford’s The Undercover Economist — if you’ve ever wondered why the gap between the rich and the poor is so great, then this book is for you. Relatable and engaging, Harford highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, from buying a coffee to sitting in a traffic jam. He exposes how coffee shops, supermarkets and airlines convince us to part with our money, shedding light on how to apply economic principles to everyday life.
Slow Productivity
10Eighty’s researcher also recommends Slow Productivity by Cal Newport for the summer reading list. In the modern workplace workers feel pushed to the edge by continual meetings, overflowing inboxes, non-stop busywork and office rules that laugh at autonomy and agency. Newport offers alternative strategies for knowledge workers to do the best work of their lives by taking a slower approach to work that matters.
Tom Sawyer
Few books are better at sparking eagerness to act than Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer. Forced to paint a fence white rather than play with his friends, naughty Tom finds a way to make it seem so appealing that the local kids want to do it — and end up paying Tom for the privilege. Business-school professors call it “psychic rewards”.
What is your favorite from this summer reading list? Why not share your ideas with us below?
1. What does Cal Newport suggest knowledge workers do?
A. Slow down to tackle key tasks. B. Stay off the endless busywork.
C. Innovate antiquated office rules. D. Accomplish workload confidently.
2. According to the passage, why is Tom Sawyer recommended for summer reading?
A. It specifies the “psychic rewards”. B. It stimulates motivation effectively.
C. It shares an exciting kids’ adventure tale. D. It illustrates how to deal with naughty kids.
3. How does Tim Harford make economics accessible in The Undercover Economist?
A. By analyzing economic theories in depth. B. By explaining the cause of the wealth gap.
C. By connecting economic concepts to daily life. D. By revealing how businesses fuel consumption.
B
Troubled by scoliosis (脊柱侧弯) since the age of four — a condition that causes the spine (脊柱) to curve abnormally and affects roughly 100, 000 children in America each year — Anne had to wear a rigid plastic brace (支架) 19 to 22 hours a day to prevent the curve from exacerbating as she grew.
Most of her classmates were kind. Still, Anne often felt set apart. In quiet moments, a sense of loneliness would wash over her — she was tired of feeling different from everyone else.
That year, the Easter Bunny brought her a basket with a special doll. The doll, Chelsea, is Barbie’s sister, and she, too, wore a back brace for scoliosis. “She’s just like me!” Anne cried to her mother, Nicole, who smiled as the little girl examined every detail, right down to the doll’s curved spine. Anne played with Chelsea every day, bringing the doll everywhere. She felt a sisterhood with another girl like her.
Weeks later, Anne voiced a heartfelt wish: “Mom, I wish all girls with scoliosis could have this doll so they don’t ever feel alone either.” Nicole saw renewed determination in her daughter’s eyes and helped turn the idea into a family mission. Anne’s twin brother and her dad all jumped in to help. They launched their efforts by starting a lemonade stand during a neighborhood sale, and then created a GoFundMe page on the Internet.
After a local news station featured their story, the doll’s maker stepped in to support the cause, supplying all the dolls they needed. What began as a goal to donate50 dolls quickly grew beyond expectation. Now 11 years old, Anne and her family have donated more than 870 Chelsea dolls to hospitals nationwide, bringing smiles to countless children.
“Even if you feel alone, you’re not.” she shared. “Everybody has something. It’s what you do with it that matters — so choose to help others to be strong in their journey.”
4. What does the underlined word “exacerbating” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. progressing B. improving C. examining D. curing
5. Why did Anne love the Chelsea doll so much?
A. It was rare and delicate. B. It mirrored her situation.
C. It looked like her lovely sister. D. It was a gift given by her sister.
6. How did Anne’s family first raise money?
A. By running a drink stand. B. By applying for a webpage.
C. By selling lemonade online. D. By organizing a neighborhood sale.
7. What message did Anne want to convey through the dolls?
A. Charity begins at home. B. Fortune favors the brave.

C
The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant (空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., real estate developers see potential.
Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.
A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more,” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”
“The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand.
The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms.
8. What are cities like DC trying to do?
A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings.
C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home.
9. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3?
A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families.
C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs.
10. What does Tracy Loh think of the conversion?
A. Realistic. B. Far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More
C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life
D
Saying they can no longer ignore the rising prices of health care, some of the most influential medical groups in the nation are recommending that doctors weigh the costs, not just the effectiveness of treatments, as they make decisions about patient care.
The shift, little noticed outside the medical establishment but already controversial inside it, suggests that doctors are starting to redefine their roles, from being concerned exclusively about individual patients to exerting influence on how healthcare dollars are spent. In practical terms, the new guidelines being developed could result in doctors choosing one drug over another for cost reasons or even deciding that a particular treatment — at the end of life, for example — is too expensive. In the extreme, some critics have said that making treatment decisions based on cost is a form of rationing (配给制) .
Some doctors see a potential conflict in trying to be both providers of patient care and financial overseers. “There should be forces in society who should be concerned about the budget, but they shouldn’t be functioning simultaneously as doctors.” said Dr. Martin Samuels at a Boston hospital. He said doctors risked losing the trust of patients if they told patients, “I’m not going to do what I think is best for you because I think it’s bad for the healthcare budget in Massachusetts.”
Doctors can face some grim trade-offs. Studies have shown, for example, that two drugs are about equally effective in treating macular degeneration, an eye disease. But one costs 50 dollars and the other close to 2, 000 dollars. Medicare could save hundreds of millions of dollars a year if everyone used the cheaper drug, Avastin, instead of the costlier one, Lucentis. But the Food and Drug Administration has not approved Avastin for use in the eye. And using it rather than the alternative, Lucentis, might carry an additional, although slight, safety risk. Should doctors consider Medicare’s budget in deciding what to use?
Still, some analysts say that there’s a role for doctors to play in cost analysis because not many others are doing so. “In some ways,” said Dr. Daniel Sulmasy, “it represents a failure of wider society to take up the issue.”
12. What do some most influential medical groups recommend doctors do?
A. Reflect on the responsibilities they are supposed to take.
B. Readjust their practice in view of the cuts in health care.
C. Take costs into account when making treatment decisions.
D. Pay more attention to the effectiveness of their treatments.
13. What may the new guidelines being developed lead to?
A. The redefining of doctors’ roles. B. Overuse of less effective medicines.
C. The prolonging of patients’ suffering. D. Conflicts between doctors and patients.
14. What risk do doctors see in their dual role as patient care providers and financial overseers?
A. They may lose the respect of patients. B. They may have to use less effective drugs.
C. They may be forced to divide their attention. D. They may be involved in a conflict of interest.
15. What do some experts say about doctors’ involvement in medical cost analysis?
A. It may add to doctors’ already heavy workloads.
B. It will help to save money for society as a whole.
C. It results from society’s failure to tackle the problem.
D. It raises doctors’ awareness of their social responsibilities.

Sandro was born and grew up in Milan. Until he was 13 years old, he never wanted to leave his hometown. But last year, Sandro’s father’s investment went bad, wiping out the family and sending his parents to prison. As a teenager under 16 years old, Sandro was forced to go to Newcastle in the northeast of England to stay with his uncle Lawrence.
Sandro had a lot of difficulties in the new environment. He didn’t like the food in England. Nobody could forecast the weather in Newcastle. He had to start learning the second foreign language in his new school. Pocket money was not enough as usual. Almost every subject was a challenge for him. Most importantly, he had no friends. It seemed nobody knew him and he knew nobody in the school.
On an early summer evening, when Sandro was going home alone from school as usual, a man called him from behind. Sandro turned around and saw Eddie, his PE teacher, standing in front of him.
“You know, the school will have a swimming competition next month. There will be all kinds of races. Will you participate?” Eddie asked.
Sandro took a look at Eddie with doubt and answered, “You sure? Me? No. I won’t. I can swim, but I’m slower than a snail.”
Eddie smiled and then said, “Yes. Indeed. You are, in breaststroke(蛙泳), in backstroke, and in butterfly, but not in freestyle. So join the freestyle race! 200-meter freestyle is the game suitable for you.”
Sandro was speechless at that moment. He had never known someone in the school was observing him and caring for him.
“I don’t think I can win anything,” Sandro was still a little puzzled.
“But you may get more recognition and consequently you can make some friends. That is more important than prizes,” Eddie responded immediately.
Having hesitated for a while, Sandro agreed to have a try.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Every afternoon for the next month, Sandro trained really hard.

Sandro dived into the pool confidently like other competitors.
