IV. 阅读理解。
It’s a nice warm Saturday. The window is open, and you are enjoying the fresh air to your heart’s content. But within minutes, sometimes seconds, the mental list begins: The garden needs sorting. The kitchen needs reorganizing... Finally you may start that thing you’ve been putting off.
Nowadays we have become, without noticing, extraordinarily good at accounting for how we spend time. Hobbies have become side hustles (副业), walks have become step counts, reading has become self-development, even rest has got a respectable name — restoration. We believe we should always be achieving or productive and feel regretful if we stop or rest. We are overly concerned about usefulness. Dr Poerio, a professor of psychology, thinks being stuck with usefulness has its dangers — we possibly lose appreciation of the cognitive (认知的) and emotional benefits of the activities in and of themselves.
In fact, when you set your mind free, your brain does not power down. It powers up, just differently. When the noises of outside world are cleared, memory and imagination fill the space instead. This is where creativity lives, where meaning gets made, and where the brain processes everything that has happened to it. The problem is that we rarely give the brain the quiet it needs to reach this state. We’re hungry for quiet time with nothing to do. However, as soon as we have that time, our minds often immediately start trying to find things to do. “In trying to get as much value from our time as possible, we hollow out the very thing that made it valuable,” Poerio says worriedly.
What breaks this cycle is not scheduled rest but something truly aimless. Not relaxation as a goal, but the accidental by-product of simply not trying. That warm Saturday morning will come around again. And this time, perhaps, you might try doing nothing in particular. The brain, given the chance, knows exactly what to do. It doesn’t need another goal. It needs a little time with nothing asked of it at all.
1. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. The calm before a storm.
B. The post-weekend anxiety.
C. A restless mind on a day off.
D. A typical relaxed weekend.
2. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The usefulness trap. B. The moral dilemma.
C. Daily behavioral guidelines. D. Time management tips.
3. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “hollow out” in paragraph 3?
A. Make use of. B. Miss out on. C. Pick up. D. Focus on.
4. What would the author probably suggest?
A. Taking rest as it is. B. Aiming for the highest.
C. Racing against time. D. Exercising to the extreme.

The Case of a Missing Cookie
Ten-year-old Meera was a couple of years older than her brother Mayur. Impatient by nature, Meera always shouted before listening whenever things didn’t go her way, while Mayur was careless and too proud to admit his mistakes. Though they loved each other very much, quarrels (争吵) were as common as a morning tea in their household.
One evening, after returning from school, Mayur asked their mother if there were any chocolate cookies left. “Only two cookies are left,” mom said. “One for each of you.” Meera had gone out to play, so Mayur ate his cookie alone. He soon finished eating but he was in such a hurry that he forgot to put the lid (盖子) back on and went to do his homework. Later that evening, Meera went to the kitchen to get her cookie, only to find the jar empty, with only some crumbs (饼干屑) lying around it.
Anger welled up inside her immediately. Without a second thought, she shouted at her brother, blaming (责备) him for eating her cookie. Faced with the sudden and groundless blame, Mayur insisted he hadn’t and explained that he went straight to study after eating his share, his face burning at being wronged. But Meera wouldn’t listen, and soon their voices rose.
Mom had to step in. “You both claim you didn’t eat the last cookie, right?” They nodded, yet neither stopped blaming the other. Mom cleared her throat and stopped them. “Then who did it? Can you two work together and solve the case (案件)?”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为100个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
They examined the kitchen, trying to find clues.

【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. A
【导语】本文剖析了现代人凡事追求实用的功利困境,阐释放空大脑对创造力的意义,呼吁人们放下目标,享受无目的的纯粹闲暇。
1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s a nice warm Saturday. ... Finally you may start that thing you’ve been putting off. (这是一个温暖宜人的周六。窗户开着,你可以尽情享受新鲜空气。但几分钟内,有时几秒钟内,脑海中就开始浮现清单:花园需要整理,厨房需要重新布置……最后,你可能会开始做那件一直拖延着的事)”可知,本段描绘休息日里思绪无法放松、内心焦躁不安的状态。
2. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“ We believe we should always be achieving or productive and feel regretful if we stop or rest.We are overly concerned about usefulness. (我们相信,自己应该始终追求成就或保持高效,如果停下或休息,就会感到遗憾。我们过度在意一切事的实用性)”以及“being stuck with usefulness has its dangers (过度执着于实用性会带来危险)”可知,整段围绕人们被“凡事必须有用”束缚的困境展开。
3. 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In trying to get as much value from our time as possible, we hollow out the very thing that made it valuable (我们拼命榨干时间的价值,反而 ________ 时间原本珍贵的内核)”可知,一味功利地利用时间,会丢失、错失放空带来的真正价值,划线短语hollow out和“Miss out on(错失)”含义相近。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What breaks this cycle is not scheduled rest but something truly aimless. (打破功利循环的不是规划好的休息,而是毫无目的的放空)”以及“The brain, given the chance, … with nothing asked of it at all. (大脑一旦获得机会,便会清楚自己该做什么,它不需要额外目标,只需要一段无要求的时光)”可知,作者建议坦然接纳纯粹的休息,不带任何功利目标。
V. 完形填空。

They examined the kitchen, trying to find clues. They noticed the cookie jar lid lying loosely beside the jar and tiny mouse footprints near the crumbs. Following the tracks, they spotted a small mouse hiding behind the cupboard with a piece of cookie in its mouth. Realizing neither of them had eaten the second cookie, Meera felt ashamed of losing her temper without listening. Mayur also regretted not covering the jar tightly, which let the mouse sneak in. They apologized to each other softly.
Mom smiled, “Do you think the mouse is the only cause of today’s quarrel?” Both kids shook their heads. Meera admitted she always shouted first instead of calming down to ask for explanations. Mayur said he was too stubborn to explain patiently when misunderstood. Mom told them family members should communicate politely and trust each other. From then on, the two siblings learned to stay calm and talk things through before arguing.
