【答案】17. C 18. A 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: Good morning, everyone! Today, I’d like to share some practical ways to save water in our daily lives. In fact, we have all been told not to leave the water running while brushing our teeth or washing our faces. Another good habit is taking shorter showers — every minute counts.
When it comes to doing the dishes, using the dishwasher is much more efficient than washing the dishes by hand, but only if you fill it up. If you use the dishwasher for only a few plates or glasses, you will end up wasting more water.
Does your car need a wash? Get down to Lumsden College this weekend, where they are having a charity car wash. The event will take place at the college parking lot, where the students will be washing cars for a good cause — that’s on Saturday, the 4th, from eight in the morning till eight in the evening. And the prices are pretty good, too — just ten dollars for the outside of your car and eight dollars for the inside. If you want the full service, outside and inside, it will cost you only fifteen dollars. That’s not too bad. But the main thing is that all the money raised will go to the homeless people in the area. So if your car is dirty, you know where to take it this weekend.

Cornell Note-Taking Method
The Cornell method of taking notes was developed by Dr. Walter Pauk of Cornell University in the 1950s. It is a widely used system for noting material from a lecture or reading, and for reviewing and retaining that material.
Tips for Effective Use:
Self-Quiz Questions: Write simple questions in the cue column to test yourself later.
Summarize Even If Incomplete: Reflect on key points in your own words, even if your notes aren’t perfect.
Color Coding: Use colors to highlight key terms, definitions, and examples. This makes your notes clearer and more engaging.
Next Steps: Add actions you need to take in the summary to keep learning proactive.
Use Your Notes to Study
Concentrate on the left-hand column and summary at the bottom. These contain the most important points you will need for your assignment or exam.
Cover the right side of the page (the note-taking column) with your hand or another sheet of paper. Quiz yourself by giving answers to the potential questions that you included in the left column. Then uncover the right side and check your comprehension.
Reviewing frequently over a longer period of time, rather than cramming before a test, will greatly increase your retention and deepen your understanding of course material. With your effective notes made using the Cornell system, you will be able to study efficiently and with minimal stress.
21. What do Cue Column and Summary Column have in common?
A. Focus on main ideas. B. Be filled in during class.
C. Record detailed lecture content. D. Serve as decorative areas.
22. Which is the correct way to study with Cornell notes?
A. Rewrite full notes regularly. B. Cover notes and test recall before checking.
C. Skip the cue column during revision. D. Intensive memorization right before exams.
23. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce note-taking history. B. To compare note-taking methods.
C. To describe the benefits of color coding. D. To promote an effective note-taking method.
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D
【解析】

I Maria Martignoni. When I completed a doctoral program in mathematical biology, I wasn’t sure where I saw my career going. But satisfying my curiosity for knowledge as a postdoc (博士后) seemed more exciting. The problem was what to do afterward. When people would ask me, “What would you like to do next?” and I had no answer to give and began to worry. My research was fun, but I doubted it could ever be useful. My peers (同辈) asked sharp questions during academic discussions. I could not get rid of the feeling that I was just pretending.
It was only during my third postdoc that I experienced a change of attitude. It happened after I volunteered to co-lead a group of scientists writing a perspective piece about what future research was needed in our field. The senior researchers on the team commented that, although the draft still needed some significant changes, it was suitable for submission to a high-impact journal. This statement changed my attitude. Clearly, they saw me as knowledgeable and competent. Maybe I needed to value my own professional skills a little more highly?
I decided to do my best to improve the article — spending more than a year reading dozens of papers, leading group discussions, and editing the article. The process was long and dull. But the more time I devoted to it, the more knowledge I gained, and the more confident I grew. Ultimately, I landed a tenure-track position (终身职位).
When students ask me for advice, I usually tell them that one does not need to have a clear life plan to belong in science. Many know from the start that they want to be researchers. But for others the path to being a scientist unfolds gradually, with uncertainties along the way. As researchers, part of our mission involves finding our way without always knowing where we are going. By the way, always keep in mind that it is self-trust that counts.
24. Why did Maria feel uncertain about her career after completing her doctoral program?
A. she lacked a clear plan for the future. B. she did not enjoy mathematical biology.
C. she preferred teaching to doing research. D. her research was not considered useful by her peers.
25. What changed Maria’s attitude during her third postdoc?
A. She received a tenure-track job offer. B. She decided to leave academic research.
C. She led a team to write a perspective piece. D. Her peers asked sharp questions during discussions.
26. What does the author suggest students do?
A. Have an obvious life direction. B. Seek for careers like explorers.
C. Ignore worldly labels bravely. D. Stick to original choices firmly.
27. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. How I Found My Confidence As A Scientist.
B. How I Regained My Curiosity For Research.
C. How I Sensed The Meaning Of Persistence.
D. How I Achieved In Mathematical Biology.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从迷茫到找到科研自信的经历。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段中“When I completed a doctoral program in mathematical biology, I wasn’t sure where I saw my career going. But satisfying my curiosity for knowledge as a postdoc (博士后) seemed more exciting. The problem was what to do afterward. When people would ask me, “What would you like to do next?” and I had no answer to give and began to worry.(当我完成数学生物学的博士课程时,我不确定自己的职业发展方向。但作为博士后,满足自己对知识的好奇心似乎更令人兴奋。问题在于之后该做什么。当人们问我:“接下来你想做什么?”而我却无言以对,并开始感到担忧)”可知,玛丽亚在完成博士课程后对自己的职业感到不确定是因为她对未来缺乏明确的计划。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中“It was only during my third postdoc that I experienced a change of attitude. It happened after I volunteered to co-lead a group of scientists writing a perspective piece about what future research was needed in our field.(直到第三次博士后,我才经历了态度的转变。这件事发生在我自愿联合领导一组科学家撰写一篇关于我们领域未来需要什么研究的观点文章之后)”可知,玛丽亚在第三次博士后期间领导一个团队写一篇观点文章改变了她的态度。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“When students ask me for advice, I usually tell them that one does not need to have a clear life plan to belong in science. Many know from the start that they want to be researchers. But for others the path to being a scientist unfolds gradually, with uncertainties along the way. As researchers, part of our mission involves finding our way without always knowing where we are going.(当学生向我征求意见时,我通常会告诉他们,要从事科学工作,不一定需要有明确的人生规划。许多人从一开始就知道他们想成为研究人员。但对其他人来说,成为科学家的道路是逐渐展开的,一路上充满了不确定性。作为研究人员,我们的部分任务是在不知道自己要去哪里的情况下找到自己的路)”可推知,作者建议学生们像探险家一样寻找职业。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文,尤其是最后一段中“As researchers, part of our mission involves finding our way without always knowing where we are going. By the way, always keep in mind that it is self-trust that counts.(作为研究人员,我们的部分任务是在不知道我们要去哪里的情况下找到自己的路。顺便说一句,永远记住,自信才是最重要的)”可知,文章开篇讲述作者博士毕业后对职业和自身能力的迷茫,接着描述她在第三段博士后期间通过牵头撰写文章、得到认可并提升能力,最终获得终身职位且重拾信心的过程,结尾还强调自信的重要性,核心主线是她如何在科研道路上建立信心。A选项“How I Found My Confidence As A Scientist.(我如何找到作为科学家的自信)”最符合文章主旨。故选A。
C
We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.
28. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets.
29. What information does the convenient app offer?
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
30. What can be concluded about BMF employees?
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D. They have a strong environmental awareness.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management.
C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】

D
Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert.
If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation.
Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters.
However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant.
While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they will still think of you when the next concert comes to town.
32. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning?
A. To explain the background of the invitation.
B. To stress the importance of quick replies.
C. To encourage immediate decision- making.
D. To introduce a common social situation.
33. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation?
A. A biased interpretation of social cues.
B. A desire for harmonious communication.
C. An underestimation of refusal consequence.
D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation.
34. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Keeping your options open for better plans.
B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships.
C. Prioritizing clear response over open options.
D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation.
35. What’s the passage’s main purpose?
A. To explore why people say “maybe” and advocate clear replies.
B. To explain the hidden consequences of “maybe” in social invitations.
C. To discuss the awkwardness of uncertain replies and share advice.
D. To keep options open by changing replies from “no” to “maybe”.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了人们收到邀请时回复“Maybe (可能)”这一常见社交现象,分析其背后原因及特定应对情况,并给出直接回应的建议。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段讲述演唱会门票邀请朋友得到“可能”回复的趣闻后,第二段紧接着指出“If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding ‘maybe’ to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. (如果你有过类似上述趣闻的经历,你并不孤单。人们对邀请回复‘可能’是社交生活中常见却令人困扰的一个方面。)” 由此可见,开篇的演唱会趣闻是为了引出“对邀请回复‘可能’”这一常见社交场景。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. (我们发现,这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的。当一个人以偏见的方式解读信息以满足自己的愿望时,就会发生动机性推理。)” 可知,对邀请回复“可能”的主要原因是受邀者存在偏见性的信息解读,即对社交线索的偏见性理解。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain (虽然应对社交场合可能很棘手,但直接明确有时是最好的选择。这可能会减少你的选择,但它会让那些邀请你的人不会陷入不确定的境地)” 可知,作者建议优先选择明确的回复,而非保留选择余地。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。文章开篇引入“可能”回复的社交现象,第三段明确“We wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” (我们想弄清楚这种尴尬的互动为什么会发生。我们发现,这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的)”,即核心部分在探索人们说“可能”的原因;最后一段则提出“being direct and definite is sometimes best (直接明确有时是最好的选择)”,由此可知,文章目的是倡导明确回复。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump?” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. ___36___ Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
___37___ More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. ___38___ So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. ___39___ They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. ___40___You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself?

Our Oceans, Our Responsibility
June 8th was officially named by the UN in 2009 as World Oceans Day. It is aimed at raising awareness of ocean conservation.
Oceans play a key role in our world. Not only do oceans offer us sufficient food, but also they maintain the balance of nature. Thus, it is imperative to protect oceans. First of all, what we can do is to place importance on our daily actions. For example, garbage can’t be thrown into oceans. What’s more, we can also hand out leaflets to call on more people to protect oceans. The more people are involved, the better the ocean environment is.
All in all, it is high time that we devoted ourselves to protecting oceans. To protect oceans is to protect ourselves.

As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time.
Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot.
“Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings.
Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others.
“Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head.
Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.”
Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance.

Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. “That’s a great idea, Ava!” Max exclaimed. Sam nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with determination. Without hesitation, they quickly divided the tasks. Max ran to fetch some trash bags from his nearby home. Ava and Sam started collecting the larger pieces of garbage first, like the chip bags and plastic bottles. As they worked, Ava hummed a little tune, and the others joined in. Their laughter and songs filled the park, making the cleanup seem more like a fun game.
Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. An elderly couple, who were taking a stroll, saw what they were doing and decided to lend a hand. A group of kids playing nearby also came over, eager to help make the park clean again. With more people joining, the cleanup went much faster. Before long, the playground was clean once more. The slides and swings sparkled in the sun, and the grassy fields were free of trash. Max, Ava, and Sam looked at each other, beaming with pride. They realized that with everyone’s effort, they could make a difference and keep their beloved park beautiful.
【解析】

Cornell Note-Taking Method
The Cornell method of taking notes was developed by Dr. Walter Pauk of Cornell University in the 1950s. It is a widely used system for noting material from a lecture or reading, and for reviewing and retaining that material.
Tips for Effective Use:
Self-Quiz Questions: Write simple questions in the cue column to test yourself later.
Summarize Even If Incomplete: Reflect on key points in your own words, even if your notes aren’t perfect.
Color Coding: Use colors to highlight key terms, definitions, and examples. This makes your notes clearer and more engaging.
Next Steps: Add actions you need to take in the summary to keep learning proactive.
Use Your Notes to Study
Concentrate on the left-hand column and summary at the bottom. These contain the most important points you will need for your assignment or exam.
Cover the right side of the page (the note-taking column) with your hand or another sheet of paper. Quiz yourself by giving answers to the potential questions that you included in the left column. Then uncover the right side and check your comprehension.
Reviewing frequently over a longer period of time, rather than cramming before a test, will greatly increase your retention and deepen your understanding of course material. With your effective notes made using the Cornell system, you will be able to study efficiently and with minimal stress.
21. What do Cue Column and Summary Column have in common?
A. Focus on main ideas. B. Be filled in during class.
C. Record detailed lecture content. D. Serve as decorative areas.
22. Which is the correct way to study with Cornell notes?
A. Rewrite full notes regularly. B. Cover notes and test recall before checking.
C. Skip the cue column during revision. D. Intensive memorization right before exams.
23. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce note-taking history. B. To compare note-taking methods.
C. To describe the benefits of color coding. D. To promote an effective note-taking method.
B
I Maria Martignoni. When I completed a doctoral program in mathematical biology, I wasn’t sure where I saw my career going. But satisfying my curiosity for knowledge as a postdoc (博士后) seemed more exciting. The problem was what to do afterward. When people would ask me, “What would you like to do next?” and I had no answer to give and began to worry. My research was fun, but I doubted it could ever be useful. My peers (同辈) asked sharp questions during academic discussions. I could not get rid of the feeling that I was just pretending.
It was only during my third postdoc that I experienced a change of attitude. It happened after I volunteered to co-lead a group of scientists writing a perspective piece about what future research was needed in our field. The senior researchers on the team commented that, although the draft still needed some significant changes, it was suitable for submission to a high-impact journal. This statement changed my attitude. Clearly, they saw me as knowledgeable and competent. Maybe I needed to value my own professional skills a little more highly?
I decided to do my best to improve the article — spending more than a year reading dozens of papers, leading group discussions, and editing the article. The process was long and dull. But the more time I devoted to it, the more knowledge I gained, and the more confident I grew. Ultimately, I landed a tenure-track position (终身职位).
When students ask me for advice, I usually tell them that one does not need to have a clear life plan to belong in science. Many know from the start that they want to be researchers. But for others the path to being a scientist unfolds gradually, with uncertainties along the way. As researchers, part of our mission involves finding our way without always knowing where we are going. By the way, always keep in mind that it is self-trust that counts.

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.
28. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets.
29. What information does the convenient app offer?
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
30. What can be concluded about BMF employees?
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D. They have a strong environmental awareness.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management.
C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards.
D
Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert.
If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote (趣闻), you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation.
Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters.
However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant.
While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they will still think of you when the next concert comes to town.
32. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning?
A. To explain the background of the invitation.
B. To stress the importance of quick replies.
C. To encourage immediate decision- making.
D. To introduce a common social situation.
33. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation?
A. A biased interpretation of social cues.
B. A desire for harmonious communication.
C. An underestimation of refusal consequence.
D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation.
34. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Keeping your options open for better plans.
B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships.
C. Prioritizing clear response over open options.
D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation.
35. What’s the passage’s main purpose?
A. To explore why people say “maybe” and advocate clear replies.
B. To explain the hidden consequences of “maybe” in social invitations.
C. To discuss the awkwardness of uncertain replies and share advice.
D. To keep options open by changing replies from “no” to “maybe”.

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump?” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. ___36___ Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
___37___ More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. ___38___ So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. ___39___ They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. ___40___You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself?
C. However, this should not discourage you.
D. So why should we try to set specific goals?
E. They can change according to circumstances.
F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.

As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time.
Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot.
“Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings.
Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others.
“Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head.
Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.”
Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance.

Today, i'd like to share some practical ways to save water in our daily lives. In fact, we have all been told not to leave the water running while brushing our teeth or washing our faces. Another good habit is taking shorter showers every minute counts when IT comes to doing the dishes using the dishwasher, much more efficient than washing the dishes by hand. But only if you fill IT up. If you use the dishwasher for only a few plates or glasses, you will end up wasting more water. Does your car need a wash? Get down to lumps in college this weekend where they are having a charity car wash. The event will take place at the college parking lot where the students will be washing cars for a good cause. That's on saturday, the fourth from eight in the morning till eight in the evening. And the Prices are pretty good too. Just ten dollars for the outside of your car and eight dollars for the inside. If you want the full service outside and inside IT will cost you only fifteen dollars. That's not too bad. But the main thing is that all of the money raised will go to the homeless people in the area. So if your car is dirty, you know where to take IT this weekend. Good morning, everyone.
