II.Grammar and Vocabulary Section A(1'*10=10') Directions:After reading the passage below,fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank. Not So Fast The 5:2 diet offers five days of normal eating "with little thought to calorie control"to every two days of near fasting,when you eat a quarter of your recommended daily calorie intake,(21)works out as 500 calories for women and 600 for men.Not only is the concept of 5:2 easy(22) (grasp),it's also a manageable approach.Got a client dinner or a birthday lunch?No problem."From this point of view,the 5:2 diet is very good,"says nutritionist Sue Baic."There's good evidence to support it.It's not for everyone-say,if you've got a history of eating disorders-but generally it fits in with modern life.And psychologically,you know you're not being too strict with(23)." However,research published in 2005 showed that for long-term weight-loss success,a consistent diet approach was more successful.Participants who reported a consistent diet(24)the week were 1.5 times more likely to maintain their weight within 2.2kg over the next year than those who dieted more strictly on weekdays.So it (25)work in the short term,but consistency,it seems,will keep you in the healthy eating game for a longer time.And a 2014 review by researchers at the University of Illinois found that daily calorie restriction is still a more effective means of losing weight than fasting."(26)(reduce) calorie intake below energy consumption and your diet will be successful,"explains Baic.(27)you've grasped this,it's a mental game. Mindfulness in weight loss is a(n)(28)(grow)area of research.It has long been the theory behind(29)(guide)diet plans,which encourage followers to attend local groups.According to Baic, these have impressive success rates."Diet programmes like Weight Watchers,Slimming World and Rosemary Conley give really good,evidence-based advice and offer support,so there's a psychological side to it as well,"she says. In 2012,Dr Brian Wansink at Comell University launched the National Mindless Eating Challenge, which examined the difference in behaviour of successful and unsuccessful dieters.Mindfulness,or being aware of(30)you're eating,was a key factor in the success stories. Section B(1'*10=10') Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A.dive B employing C.identical D household E.landscape F.merely 3.naturally H.presenting I.progress J.responsive K rethinking The Emergence of AI-Powered Search The search engine world is experiencing a major transformation as conversational AI technology starts to compete with traditional search engines.For over 20 years,Google has been the leading search engine, using its advanced algorithms (to provide accurate,relevant answers to users'questions.This success made Google a(n)31 name,turning "to Google"into a common phrase and generating billions in advertising income.Now,the rise of AI-driven conversational tools,like OpenAI's ChatGPT,is changing the32.These tools offer a different experience from traditional keyword searches by engaging users in human-like dialogues rather than just 33 a list of links.ChatGPT and similar technologies provide answers in a way that feels more personal and insightful. This technological shift opens up new ways for people to find information online.ChatGPT can handle questions on a wide range of topics,including complex or delicate ones,by1a conversational tone that connects with users.Its appeal lies in its ability to understand context,enabling follow-up questions and a deeper35 into topics.Responding to this trend,tech giants are 36 the future of search. Microsoft,a key investor in OpenAl,is integrating conversational AI into its search engine,Bing.This integration includes a sidebar that summarizes results or provides extra context,creating a more comprehensive search experience. As these Al-driven tools3,they challenge the traditional search model.Unlike standard engines that use pre-set algorithms to match keywords,conversational AI responds more 38.This trend pushes Google to innovate,encouraging it to enhance its interface()and integrate AI into its existing system. Such advancing technology marks a turning point in search,where 39providing information isn't enough.Users now look for a more interactive,40 experience,and conversational AI may be the answer to meeting that need. III.Reading Comprehension Secti0nA(13*15=15) Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. As children,our primary source of support comes from our parents.But as we get older,we start to spend significantly more time with 41,says Kaitlin Flannery,an associate professor in psychology at State University of New York College,Cortland."There's a different 42 that we have with friends; they help us shape our identity throughout our life." Flannery points out that in its initial stages,friendship is built on similarity."We're social creatures.We 2 want 43,"says Flannery."We want approval from not only our family,but our same-agers.And so that's where friendships start to really become these essential 44 of social support,but also fun and companionship.” Much of the research on friendship dissolution has focused on children and adolescents,an age when it is quite common for friendships to 45.In Flannery's research,looking at a sample of 354 middle school students,86%said they had a friendship end recently.Most put it down to conflict or a betrayal of trust.Another predictor was the lack of support from friends,or that they felt they weren't getting what was needed from their friends-46,companionship,or no longer having fun together.The ending of friendships reportedly stirred 47 emotions for the middle schoolers,including sadness,but also happiness and relief,depending on why the dissolution happened,how it ended,and who initiated it. In some cases,friendships are simply 48 from"best"friend status to"good"friends.Another year-long study of friendship in seventh graders saw that only about half of"best friendships"remained 49 throughout the school year.Older adolescents'friendships are moderately more consistent over the course over the school year,the research suggests. Such high school friendships may 50 as friends move apart for university and college.This may partly be caused by the physical 51 that is introduced between friends.But,as young adults navigate increasingly complex social networks,as well as their own and others'expectations,friendships can also become less consistent. As in the previous life stages,friendship dissolvement is also an opportunity for young adults to practice getting along with others.One study found that people with a"52"mindset about relationships-meaning,the belief that relationships require effort and can grow and develop-were more willing to maintain and work on their friendships.Others may feel that as their interests change,it is more rewarding to spend time with 53 friends. But strong friendships can survive and 54 to such life changes,research shows."Whenever I look at friendship dissolution,my takeaway is there are certain aspects of life that can disrupt friendships, but there are also just as many examples of friendships that have been able to 55 these life changes and grow closer,"says Flannery. 41.A.teachers B.parents C.agents D.peers 42.A.problem B.bond C.lesson D.argument 43.A.acceptance B.assistance C.attention D.association 44.A.requirements B.purposes C.sources D.services 45.A.turn off B.break out C.turn over D.break apart 46.A.on the contrary B.as a result C.for example D.in addition 47.A.positive B.shallow C.negative D.complex 48.A.heightened B.exported C.downgraded D.separated 49.A.neutral B.unclear C.weak D.stable 50.A.work B.renew C.fade D.last 51.A.distance B.feature C.contact D.development 52.A.awareness B.growth C.science D.humanity 53.A.new B.young C.adult D.close 54.A.adapt B.return C.stick D.object 55.A.facilitate B.weather C.assess D.monitor Secti0nB(2'*11=22) Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A.B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When people take with them their own expectations about tipping as they travel around the world,it generates no small amount of confusion.Norwegians,who come from a culture where wages are high and tips are low,could burn through Las Vegas leaving a trail of outrage with their tiny offerings.Meanwhile, high-tipping Americans might offend everyone in Tokyo because good service in Japan is a matter of honour, as in:"How dare you suggest I be rewarded for handing you a plate of sashimi without dropping it in your lap?” We're all in an embarrassed mess because there's no consistent logic to any of this.None! Tipping,as we know it,started in Tudor England when noblemen visited each other's country homes and gave extra money to the servants as a thank-you for helping them with their clothing.Hundreds of years later,the tradition has become totally random.A recent study found that people are twice as likely to tip a grocery delivery person than a grocery store clerk,and roughly twice as likely to tip a waiter than a fast-food restaurant worker.Why is that?A paid job is a paid job,right?The grocery deliverer is paid to deliver and the grocery clerk is paid to clerk.So tipping one and not the other only makes sense in terms of what has become customary. No one expects a tip in much of Southeast Asia or Australia,beyond saying "keep the change." Compare that to the United States,where restaurant tips of up to 25 percent are now expected for very good service;in Canada,it's 15 to 20 percent.Sometimes,that too can feel tense."Even when the server tells you about it up front,it's awkward,"one friend who encountered this custom said."Do you tip more if they were really good?What if they weren't good?" It's enough to make your head hurt-but will we soon have to worry about tipping with bitcoin?I don't even understand the notion of cryptocurrency(数字加密货币)，much less how to use the new tipping apps that are popping up around it.Maybe that's how people used to feel about money itself,back when they traded goods and services with shells and weapons and rice.Back when there was no tipping. 56.The first paragraph is intended to A.emphasize the universal importance of tipping B.illustrate the global variations in tipping practices C.argue that tipping customs are outdated in certain cultures D.describe the economic impact of tipping on different countries 57.By origin,a tip was A.a customary part of grocery delivery B.an expected payment for essential services C.a gesture of gratitude from the upper class D.a modern concept in cryptocurrency transactions 58.What can be learned about Americans'tipping practices from the passage? A.Americans are used to give tips wherever they go B.Americans give fatter tips in restaurants than elsewhere. C.Americans are generally unwilling but forced to give a tip D.Americans mainly tip those who provide very good service. 59.The author mention bitcoin when talking about tipping in order to A.argue that traditional tipping methods are outdated B.suggest that cryptocurrency may complicate tipping customs C.criticize the idea of using virtual currency for everyday purchase D.emphasize that digital payments have simplified the tipping process (B) Candy crystals Watch in awe as you grow your own edible,crunchy,candy crystals. The longer you leave them,the bigger they get!

The science behind it... If you pour a spoonful of sugar into a glass of cold water and stir,the sugar will dissolve.Eventually,if you keep adding sugar to the water it will stop dissolving. However,if the water is heated,more sugar can be forced to dissolve in the water, creating what is called a 'supersaturated solution'.As the water cools,the supersaturated solution becomes unstable since it contains more sugar than it can hold.The sugar then starts to come out of the solution and reforms as solid sugar crystals.As it takes less energy for the sugar crystals to form on top of other crystals than to form on their own in the solution,the sugar-rolled skewers act as seeds for the new crystals to grow.As the sugar solution cools and water dries up,more sugar leaves the solution,causing the crystals to grow larger. 60.Which of the following procedures is correct for making candy crystals? ①heat the water ②add sugar ③add color ④add skewer ⑤cool the water A. ①⑤②③④ B.O.②⑤③④ c.①③④②⑤ D.①②③④⑤ 61.Why is it important to suspend the wooden skewer in the center of the glass,away from the bottom? A.To allow the water to leave the solution more quickly. B.To prevent the skewer from absorbing too much sugar. C.To make sure the skewer does not touch the food coloring. D.To ensure crystals grow consistently on all sides of the skewer. 62.Emma has been growing candy crystals in her kitchen.After three days,she notices that the crystals have stopped growing,and there is a thin film on the surface of the solution.What should she do next to encourage further crystal growth? A.Stir the solution. B.Place the jar in a cooler area. C.Remove the film. D.Add more water to the solution. (C) Emotional manipulation has been referred to as the dark side of emotional intelligence by psychological scientist Elizabeth Austin at the University of Edinburgh.But what does that mean?Austin and her colleagues created the Emotional Manipulation Scale in 2007.According to the scale,people who are high on emotional manipulation say yes to behaving in ways that have no obvious negative consequences such as'I know how to embarrass someone to stop them behaving in a particular way',and'I know how to play two people off against each other'. Less obviously negative behaviours can also result in a high score,including agreeing with statements like'I can pay someone compliments to get in their good books',and 'I am good at reassuring people so that they're more likely to go along with what I say'.The researchers also found that the higher people scored on the Emotional Manipulation Scale the higher they scored on Machiavellianism,a trait that includes being cold,morally indifferent,and manipulative. Framing manipulation as a bad thing that is only done by bad people is,however,incorrect.There are many reasons why people want to massage a social situation so that it works out well for themselves that don't result in negative consequences for others.Self-interest can agree with the interest of others and can lead to prosocial (behaviour.For example,sometimes I do things to make other people feel good because I know it will make me feel good.It's win-win. This complexity is also what Austin and colleagues showcased when in 2013 they created the Managing the Emotions of Others Scale on the basis of their original scale. Moving from the term 'manipulation'to 'managing'encourages a different way of talking about this type of behaviour.The most recent short version of the Managing the Emotions of Others Scale was published in 2018 by Austin and colleagues.It breaks down the diversity of ways in which people try to emotionally manage people into five types.The first two are generally prosocial,the third and fourth are non-prosocial,and the fifth is considered neutral. Enhancing:strategically offering help,reassurance,or showing understanding to improve someone's mood. Diverting:being positive or using humour to improve someone's mood. Worsening:using criticism or negative comments,undermining confidence,or being angry to gain something. Being inauthentic:flattering someone,sulking or guilt-tripping to get what you want. Concealing:hiding how you really feel,particularly hiding negative emotions 63.According to the passage,what is the primary focus of the Emotional Manipulation Scale? A.Measuring the moral implications of emotionally manipulative behaviors. B.Defining the prosocial aspects of emotional manipulation in a modern way. C.Identifying behaviors associated with manipulating others'emotions positively. D.Assessing tendencies toward emotional manipulation through certain behaviors. 64.What can be learned about those scoring high on the Emotional Manipulation Scale? A.They are more likely to show their sympathy. 5 B.They may well lack a sense of moral concern C.They may well focus primarily on prosocial behavior. D.They are likely to avoid using humor in social interactions. 65. Why did Austin and colleagues create the Managing the Emotions of Others Scale in 2013? A.To shift to a broader understanding of emotional influence. B.To replace the previous scale with a more accurate measure. C.To emphasize the negative consequences of emotional manipulation. D.To lead people to pay more attention to emotional management skills. 66.Which of the following is an example of"diverting"? A.At a tense family dinner,you tell a funny story to lighten the mood. B.When your sister is frustrated,you hide your stress to keep her calm. C.After a disagreement,you give your friend a compliment to make things right. D.You remind a coworker of his good work when he is upset about missing a deadline. Section C(2>*4=8') Directions:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.But these two beliefs are not equally present in consumers'minds all the time. B.Buyers are more likely to buy now if they see a single large price decrease or a series of smaller price increases. C.Companies can help to influence how consumers feel about low prices by improving marketing strategies. D.However,the researchers also found that consumers also see cheap prices as a sign of a great deal. E.Over the years,customers have become so used to sales that they no longer believe they were getting a good deal. F.While large numbers of consumers are seeking out the lowest prices as a way to save money,it's not necessarily a race. Why low prices can scare off customers Despite all the great deals on Black Friday,it turns out cheaper isn't always better.New researc! suggests that low prices can backfire for retailers,as consumers may interpret them as a sign of low-qualit products. 67 Which theory consumers follow depends on what shoppers think about whe making their decision to buy a product. "The bottom line of our research is that people can hold two opposing beliefs about a product,"sa Steve Posavac,Professor in Marketing at Vanderbilt University."In the case of price,most people belie that low prices mean good value and that low prices mean low quality at the same time.68 "Consumers rarely have complete information.They use various strategies to fill the gaps in th knowledge as they consider and choose products."said Posavac and his co-authors."One of these strateg involves using naive theories:informal,common sense,explanations that consumers use to make sense their environment.” 69 In the research,when the quality of a product was marketed,consumers looked more favorably upon more expensive products.However,when companies focused on value,a cheap product was rated more highly in the opinion of consumers. "A company may implement an everyday low-pricing strategy that manages to reduce brand value and push consumers away,if many of them believe that low prices equal low quality,"said Posavac." 70 Companies design a strategy by assuming that a certain naive theory is going to drive consumer evaluation and choice when,in fact,several naive theories are available to the consumer." IV.Summary Writing(10') Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. The Silent Corridor Debate At a secondary school in London,a new rule requires students to remain silent in the corridors between classes,aiming to create a quieter,more disciplined environment.The school believes that minimizing noise during transition times helps students maintain focus and encourages a sense of order,ultimately leading to better academic performance.However,this rule has received mixed reactions. Supporters of the rule argue that silence in the corridors can significantly reduce distractions.Noise from talking students can carry into classrooms,particularly in open-plan layouts,disturbing those who are already focused on their work.By enforcing quiet corridors,the school hopes to promote an environment where students can stay calm and focused throughout the day.Moreover,proponents argue that this policy teaches students valuable skills such as self-discipline and respect for rules,which are beneficial not only in school but also in their future professional and personal lives. On the other hand,critics believe that banning students from talking in the corridors is overly restrictive and can have negative effects on their social development.They argue that school is not just a place for academic learning but also an environment where students develop social skills.Brief conversations in the corridors offer students a chance to connect with their peers,share ideas,and even seek help with subjects they find challenging.Critics worry that rigid silence policies make schools feel too controlled,potentially dampening students'enthusiasm and turning the learning environment into something that feels more like a prison than a place of growth and discovery. This debate raises a larger question about discipline in schools:should they enforce strict rules for silence to improve focus,or allow some social interaction,even if it means more noise?Finding the right balance is challenging.In.the end,each school may decide based on its goals and values,weighing the benefits of quiet focus against the importance of social connections and student well-being.
