B In the vast, untouched expanse of wilderness, Isla and her faithful golden retriever (猎犬), Finn danced in a harmony of souls. Together, they weaved through myriad terrains, from shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets to rugged mountain paths that touched the heavens. Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams, Isla sought quiet away from the urban noise, while every rustle and murmur of the wild ignited Finn’s spirit. As dawn’s first light kissed the earth, Isla deliberately packed away memories of the nigh while Finn, with eager anticipation, wagged ( 摇摆) his tail, eager for the day’s melodies. Their journey was not charted by maps or compasses, but by the gentle touches of their hearts, caressed by nature’s ideal breezes. One dusky evening, painted with deep red colors and ethereal purples, an unexpected storm took them off guard, Raindrops, heavy with sorrow, transformed familiar trails into flowing streams, in a desperate bid for refuge, Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents. It twas Finn’s instinctive courage that shone brightly in that moment of despair, as he moved forward suddenly, securing her backpack with a steadfast grip, drawing her back to safety’s shore. Nestled in u rocky embrace, they clung to each other against the storm’s fury. Isla whispered tales of bygone days and distant horizons into Finn’s eager cars, In return , he moved slowly and complained weakly, weaving tales without words, sharing a symphony of silent stories. When the storm’s rage decreased, the world they knew was covered in unfamiliarity. Trails they once danced upon had vanished, and landmarks whispered in unfamiliar tongues. For the first time, Isla felt the weight of disorientation. But Finn, with unwavering confidence, stepped forward, trusting his instincts to unveil the path ahead. As days melted into weeks, just when hope seemed a distant star, the embrace of a hidden village hugged them gently. Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend. But the wild’s temptation could not be ignored. Restored, the two partners ventured once more into the embrace of nature, carrying with them the blessings and hopes of newfound friends. Through the rich and colorful picture of their adventures, it became evident that their true strength was not in conquering the elements but in the unyielding bond they shared. The wild was but a stage for their eternal ballet of friendship and perseverance. 34. What connected Isla to Finn? A. The untouched expanse of wilderness. B. Shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets. C. Circumstance and shared dreams. D. The urban noise. 35. What drove Isla into despair? A. A dusk of crimson and purple. B. A sudden storm. C. The familiar trails. D. A rocky embrace. 36. What were the villagers interested in? A. Finn’s confidence and intuition. B. Isla’s respect for nature. C. Isla and Finn’s exciting journey D. The wild’s temptation. 37. What can we learn from the passage? A. Isla and Finn made their journeys based on a map or a compass. B. Finn failed to pull Isla back to the safety of shore. C. Isla and Finn’s real strength lied in conquering D. The villagers wove Isla and Finn’s journey into local legend. harsh environments. C I’ve been a psychology professor since 2012. In the past six years, I’ve seen students of all ages procrastinate (拖延) on papers, avoid presentation days, miss schoolwork, and let due dates fly by. I don’t think laziness was ever at fault. Ever. I’m a social psychologist, so I’m interested in the situational factors that drive human behaviour. When you’re seeking to predict or explain a person’s actions, looking at the social expectations, and the person’s context — their day-to-day reality, their problems and hard times — is usually safe. Situational limits typically predict behaviour far better than personality, intelligence, or other personal qualities. So, when it comes to behavioral “laziness”, I’m moved to ask: what are the blocks to action that I can’t see? There are always blocks. Recognizing those blocks and viewing them as reasonable — is often the first step to breaking “lazy” behaviour patterns (模式). It’s really helpful to respond to a person’s ineffective behaviour with curiosity rather than judgment. If a person’s behaviour doesn’t make sense to you, it is because you are missing a part of their context. Let’s look at a sign of academic “laziness” that I believe is anything but procrastination. People think procrastinators cause their own problems. Putting off work sure looks lazy. Even the people who are actively doing the procrastinating can mistake their behaviour for laziness. You’re supposed to be doing something, and you’re not doing it. That means you’re weak-willed, not motivated, and lazy, doesn’t it? For decades, psychological research has been able to explain procrastination as a functioning problem, not a result of laziness. When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either anxiety about their efforts not being “good enough” or confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness. In fact, procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well. When you’re paralyzed with fear of failure, or you don’t even know how to begin a massive, challenging task, it’s extremely hard to get it done. It has nothing to do with desire or motivation. The solution, instead, is to look for what is holding the procrastinator back. If anxiety is the major block, the procrastinator actually needs to take part in a relaxing activity. Being judged “lazy” by other people is likely to lead to the exact opposite behaviour. People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable or ineffective. There is always an explanation. There are always blocks. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as reasonable, doesn’t mean they’re not. Look harder. 38. According to the author, what affects people’s behaviour the most? A. Mental blocks. B. Limited experience. C. Personal qualities. D. Contextual factors. 39. Some people can’t begin a project they care about because they ________. A. question its meaning B. are not strong-willed C. fear they can’t meet expectations D. are confused about how to finish it 40. What does “the exact opposite behaviour” in Paragraph 9 most probably refer to? A. Avoiding taking action. B. Talking to an advisor. C. Quitting responsibilities halfway. D. Looking into the causes of laziness. 41. What does the author mainly do in this passage? A. Start a debate. B. Question a belief. C. Explain a situation. D. Introduce a method. D Lessons in the Lost Art of Listening When was the last time you listened to someone? And when was the last time someone really listened to you? I once asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare. Of course, technology plays a role. People find phone calls interrupting them, preferring text or wordless emoji. Besides, schools and colleges rarely offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. You can join clubs to perfect your public speaking, but who attempts to achieve excellence in listening? The loud unpleasant mixture of sounds of modern life also stops us from listening. Generally, listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say is related to you. It’s not about merely holding your peace while someone else holds forth. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond—the degree to which you facilitate the clear expression of another person’s thoughts and, in the process, have a clear mind of your own. Good listeners ask good questions. They engage in exploring the topic, not to divert attention. There are curious questions like “Wouldn’t you agree…?” or “Don’t you think…?” These questions have strong tendencies. They will greatly influence the other person to change his or her view. And you’d better stay away from some personal questions like “What do you do for a living?” or “What part of town do you live in?” Just try to find out what excites people. Ask about the last movie they saw or for the story behind a piece of jewelry they’re wearing. Also good are expansive questions, such as, “If you could spend a month, where would you go?” Research indicates that when people who don’t know each other well ask each other this type of question, they feel more connected than if they spend time together achieving a task. Because our brain can think a lot faster than people can talk, be careful with the tendency to take mental side trips when you are listening. Smart people’s attention is easily taken away by their own runaway thoughts. They may also assume they already know what the other person is going to say. The reward of good listening will certainly be more interesting conversations. Researchers have found that attentive listeners receive more information from speakers, even when they don’t ask any questions. We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. The gentle voice of a mother and the criticism of a boss both ultimately form and shape us. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be. 42.

Although I had a good job and owned an apartment in Manhattan, he feared my refrigerator might be empty. He ordered me a particular brand of fruitcake made in Texas. “It reminds me of my mother’s,” he told me, which I later learned was a cake typical of the Great Depression (大萧条), made without milk, sugar, butter, or eggs. On most Christmases, he received two gifts from granny: a pair of homemade socks and a small bag of oranges. Born in 1932, Dad grew up during the Great Depression, and he believed everyone was always hungry and needed to eat. Even when we visited him in the hospital, he would ask whether we had eaten and remind us the café would be closing soon. “At least get a cup of coffee,” he’d say. “Don’t worry about me.” Ordering the fruitcake was his way of trying to take care of me from a long distance away. Although I was 44, I was still his son. A fruitcake, in his mind, was a perfect Christmas gift: the fruitcake can fill my belly (肚子) and has a long shelf life. The first week of December passed with no sign of his fruitcake. Delayed (耽搁) by holiday mail, I guessed. My father remained hopeful the fruitcake would come by New Year’s Eve. Yet, January, February, and March came and went with no fruitcake. Though my father kept asking about it, I never once considered lying and telling him the fruitcake had finally arrived and was delicious. Instead I said, “That cake is orbiting (沿轨道运行) earth, and sooner or later it will land and taste even better.” Early last December, nearly a year after my father died, I got a call from the front desk of my apartment building., “You have a package.” I went downstairs to pick it up. The brown box had a FedEx label (标签) with a return address in Texas. 68.
