For three decades, Camilleri, a Canadian fashion designer, had made a name for herself dressing A-listers. Her beautiful, delicate styles from leather, to evening wear, to custom other showed in the covers of the hottest magazines.
But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident left her disabled in 1983 — approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help bring fashion to a completely under-served community. “I had no idea that someone in a chair had any different clothing needs than you or I,” says the designer. “The world was my market because nobody had ever done this before.” In 2004 Camilleri opened a store specially for people who use wheelchairs.
“Everything we do, the starting point is from a seated frame. So what happens when you’re sitting? What happens to the clothes? Where are they getting together?” Camilleri explains. “We really had to recreate the patterns to suit a seated frame.”
Her custom creations have changed lives. Winkelaar has been in a wheelchair since a car accident two weeks before his fourth birthday. Until he met Camilleri, he lacked confidence in his appearance and was afraid of entering the clothing stores because he had trouble finding trousers that fit properly. Salah has spastic cerebral palsy (痉挛性脑瘫). She says clothing stores are always daunting places full of pieces out of reach. Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is more confident in her appearance. Being able to have access to fashionable functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity.
“Camilleri’s pieces are now part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum, and her success in a new rare market has not gone unnoticed in the mainstream fashion world. She is a truly brilliant technician. She puts fashion and confidence within reach of the disabled,” Canadian television personality and fashion critic Jeanne Beker says.
24. What drives Camilleri to open a store?
A. Making a profit. B. Seeking fame.
C. Meeting a challenge. D. Providing service.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4?
A. Frightening. B. Inspiring. C. Comforting. D. Striking.
26. Which of the following can best describe Camilleri?
A. Ambitious and hardworking. B. Caring and far-sighted.
C. Determined and conventional. D. Creative and stubborn.
27. What message does Beker want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Camilleri is a highly original thinker. B. Camilleri is a successful fashion pioneer.
C. Camilleri is a critical technician leader. D. Camilleri is a productive market advisor.

We often say, “It’s on the tip of my tongue,” when we are sure we know a word but cannot recall it at that moment. This is not merely a clever idiom; it reflects a real neurological phenomenon called “lethologica”. The term comes from the Greek words “lethe”, meaning “forgetfulness”, and “logos”, meaning “word”, though researchers usually refer to it as a tip- of-the-tongue state, or TOT state. TOT states occur worldwide. A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience. But why does it happen?
Producing language is a complex process in which the brain transforms abstract ideas into words. Normally this works smoothly, explains Karin Humphreys from Canada’s McMaster University. “In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,” she said in 2015.
Interestingly, TOT states can repeat for the same word. A 2008 study showed that the longer someone struggles to recall a word before being reminded, the more likely they are to experience another TOT state when trying to remember it later. On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study. People are able to regain the intended word more than 90% of the time.
TOT states are more likely when individuals are tired and when they attempt to remember proper names. Age also plays a role: a 1999 diary study found that TOT states occur about once or twice a week for young adults aged 18 to 24, but they are twice as frequent for those aged 80 to 92. This phenomenon fascinates researchers because it shows how memory, language, and cognition can momentarily become disconnected, leaving us knowing that a word exists even when it temporarily slips from reach.
28. What can we learn from the 1999 survey?
A. TOT states are similar in English-speaking countries.
B. Most languages have similar expressions for the TOT state.
C. People from Greece suffer more from TOT states.
D. Over three-quarters of people experience TOT worldwide.
29. Why do people fall into a TOT state according to Karin Humphreys?
A. They have too many abstract ideas in their mind.
B. They haven’t practiced the new words enough.
C. Their brain fails to finish the language producing process.
D. Their memory is permanently damaged by tiredness.
30. How can people avoid forgetting the same word again?
A. Try to recall the word by themselves.
B. Wait patiently until someone reminds them of it.
C. Increase the chance to repeat it.
D. Turn to researchers for professional help.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Origins of the Well-known Idioms
B. Different Symptoms of TOT at Different Levels
C. Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence
D. The Connection Between Age and Language
D
Most of us assume that warmth is what leads to generosity, rather than the other way around. It’s an intuitive order of events: we like people first and then choose to help them. However, according to research from the Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences, the opposite can also be just as true. Interestingly, this is what’s known as the “Ben Franklin effect”. After doing someone a favor, you begin to like them more, despite having felt neutral or indifferent about them beforehand.
In terms of the Ben Franklin effect, this means that if you help someone, your brain is likely to try and reason: “Well, I wouldn’t go out of my way for someone I dislike, so I must like them.” Psychologists identified that the cognitive (认知的) mechanism underlying this intuitive social shift was, in fact, cognitive dissonance (失调). In simple terms, cognitive dissonance occurs when our behaviors are inconsistent with our beliefs. In turn, our minds unconsciously adjust our attitudes to reduce the discomfort this inconsistency brings on.
The concept gained significant scientific recognition after renowned researchers Jon Jecker and David Landy’s classic 1969 experiment, published in the journal Human Relations. Specifically, participants within the study who had done a favor for the experimenter rated the experimenter as much more likable than those who had received a favor or had no interaction at all.
With this study, Jecker and Landy were able to provide proof for the effect. This strongly suggests that the things that we do are more likely to shape our beliefs than the inverse (相反). In other words, when we act generously, we unconsciously convince ourselves that we must care for the recipient in some way or another.
The Ben Franklin effect suggests that our actions can build connections far more reliably than just our emotions alone. This has profound meanings for romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics and even healing old wounds. Offering a small favor to someone you feel slightly distant from can be a gentle yet effective way to reopen the connection. However, the inverse is also true: if you never put in effort, your pride will only create emotional distance.
32. Which of the following agrees with the Ben Franklin effect?
A. Warm relations lead to generosity. B. Generous behavior wins popularity.
C. Good deeds deserve greater rewards. D. Acts of kindness establish closer ties.
33. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The motive for helping the people we dislike. B. The underlying logic of reducing discomfort.
C. The psychological process behind the effect. D. The method of managing cognitive dissonance.
34. Jecker and Landy’s experiment seems to tell us that ________.
A. experimenters rate helpful participants higher B. emotions heal scars more effectively than actions
C. behavior is a contributor to the formation of ideas D. people prefer to care for the recipient before donation
35. What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. Potential implications of the effect. B. Supporting evidence for the effect.
C. The further interpretation of the effect. D. The negativity of the inverse of the effect.

The Getting Things Done (GTD) method refers to a personal productivity methodology (方法) that redefines how you approach your life and work. It relies on the idea that you need to simplify your workload. If you frequently feel overwhelmed or you just have too much going on, this method might be great for you. ____36____ However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components.
____37____. Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems irrelevant. You will find it somehow helpful in the future.
Clarify what you have written down. Look at each task and identify the steps you can take to complete it. Quickly write those down, so you break each task into steps. ____38____. Then consider whether it can be thrown out or handled later instead.
Organize by creating a to-do list, putting action items on your calendar, assigning smaller tasks, filing away reference materials to create a timely, structured approach to getting it done.
Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis. ____39____. Try using an “after-action review” to comprehensively go over what you’ve done and what you need to work on or stick with as you move forward.
Engage by tackling your action items knowingly and actively. You have a list of tasks and action items, an organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself. ____40____.
A little stress can push you to be more productive, but too much will have the opposite effect, so using the GTD method can really make you calm and confident.
A. Note down the main concerns in your life
B. Seize anything that is coming into your head
C. Sometimes you may feel it tough to work out the plan
D. The methodology of GTD may be involved enough to fill a whole book

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Betty ran a modest bakery in a small town. Just a few years earlier, it had been the only place where locals bought their bread. Now, however, Betty felt she was slowly losing to the new, fashionable bakeries. Working alone and making only small amounts of bread each day certainly didn’t help.
One evening, as Betty opened the cash register, she wondered how she was going to pay her bills. The silence of the empty shop felt heavy, and by looking at the clock, Betty knew there would be no more customers today. Sad thoughts filled her mind, but deep down, Betty knew she couldn’t give up. She decided to bake one last batch (批) of rye (黑麦) bread, not for sale, but for her own family. She put all her energy into kneading (揉) the dough, pressing and folding it until it reached the perfect texture (质地).
As the bread was rising in the oven, a woman with a tired face walked into the shop. Betty was surprised to have a customer at this hour. She greeted the woman and asked what she needed. The woman just answered, “Real bread.” “Sorry?” Betty asked, not quite understanding what she meant. The woman sighed and explained that she had visited every bakery in town, but all the bread was mass-produced and tasteless. Betty said, “I’m making rye bread right now. Maybe you can have a taste.” The woman nodded and sat down at a table.
Before long, Betty took out a piece of the freshly baked rye bread and handed it to the woman. She took a bite, and her eyes lit up at once. “This is exactly what I’ve been looking for,” she said excitedly. “I’ll buy the rest. How much does it cost?” “Free, madam,” Betty said. “I had planned to make it for my family. Since you like it, I’d be happy to give it to you.” The woman looked at Betty in surprise and thanked her. Then she left with the bread in her hand.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Betty stood alone again in the quiet shop, but this time, the silence felt different.

Twenty twenty four was the most extreme year for forest fires on record, with at least thirteen point five million hectares of forest burned, an area roughly the size of greece. Oh my, it's such a pity to lose so much forest. Actually, my school has already gani zed activities like watching forest fire videos and inviting firefighters to give talks. My dad was one of the speakers. We also had a poster making contest to raise awareness of fire prevention. My school arranged field trips to nearby forest for us to see the effects of fires and learn how to prevent them. I think schools could organize more activities like fire prevention games to make learning more interesting. Good idea, a fire safety week with daily fire drills can be a great choice, and schools can invite parents to join, so that fire prevention awareness can extend to families as well. That sounds really helpful. Forest fires have been happening more often these years. Twenty twenty four was the most extreme year for forest fires on record, with at least thirteen point five million hectares of forest burn, an area roughly the size of greece. Oh my, it's such a pity to lose so much forest. Actually, my school has organized activities like watching forest fire videos and inviting firefighters to give talks. My dad was one of the speakers. We also had a poster making contest to raise awareness of fire prevention. My school arranged field trips to nearby forest for us to see the effects of fires and learn how to prevent them. I think schools could organize more activities like fire prevention games to make learning more interesting. good idea, a fire safety week with daily fire drills can be a great choice, and schools can invite parents to join, so that fire prevention awareness can extend to families as well.

For three decades, Camilleri, a Canadian fashion designer, had made a name for herself dressing A-listers. Her beautiful, delicate styles from leather, to evening wear, to custom other showed in the covers of the hottest magazines.
But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident left her disabled in 1983 — approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help bring fashion to a completely under-served community. “I had no idea that someone in a chair had any different clothing needs than you or I,” says the designer. “The world was my market because nobody had ever done this before.” In 2004 Camilleri opened a store specially for people who use wheelchairs.
“Everything we do, the starting point is from a seated frame. So what happens when you’re sitting? What happens to the clothes? Where are they getting together?” Camilleri explains. “We really had to recreate the patterns to suit a seated frame.”
Her custom creations have changed lives. Winkelaar has been in a wheelchair since a car accident two weeks before his fourth birthday. Until he met Camilleri, he lacked confidence in his appearance and was afraid of entering the clothing stores because he had trouble finding trousers that fit properly. Salah has spastic cerebral palsy (痉挛性脑瘫). She says clothing stores are always daunting places full of pieces out of reach. Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is more confident in her appearance. Being able to have access to fashionable functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity.
“Camilleri’s pieces are now part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum, and her success in a new rare market has not gone unnoticed in the mainstream fashion world. She is a truly brilliant technician. She puts fashion and confidence within reach of the disabled,” Canadian television personality and fashion critic Jeanne Beker says.
24. What drives Camilleri to open a store?
A. Making a profit. B. Seeking fame.
C. Meeting a challenge. D. Providing service.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4?
A. Frightening. B. Inspiring. C. Comforting. D. Striking.
26. Which of the following can best describe Camilleri?
A. Ambitious and hardworking. B. Caring and far-sighted.
C. Determined and conventional. D. Creative and stubborn.
27. What message does Beker want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Camilleri is a highly original thinker. B. Camilleri is a successful fashion pioneer.
C. Camilleri is a critical technician leader. D. Camilleri is a productive market advisor.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B

【导语】本文讲述了加拿大时装设计师卡米列里为轮椅使用者等行动不便人士设计时尚舒适的衣服,并开设精品店,改变了他们的生活,在主流时尚界也获得了认可。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident left her disabled in 1983 — approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help bring fashion to a completely under-served community. (但当特恩布尔——一位知名记者,自1983年因一场严重事故导致残疾后便一直使用轮椅——向她提出设计出适合四季穿着、时尚舒适的服装时,卡米列里意识到自己真正的使命是帮助将时尚带入一个完全得不到充足服务的群体。)”可知,是特恩布尔让卡米列里意识到了残障人士等行动不便者对服装有特殊需求,并且这个市场是空白的,所以她决定为他们提供服务,开一家商店。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Salah has spastic cerebral palsy (痉挛性脑瘫). (萨拉患有痉挛性脑瘫。)”和下文“Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is more confident in her appearance. Being able to have access to fashionable functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity. (萨拉表示,现在的她举止不同了,对自己的外表也更有自信。能够穿上既时尚又实用的衣服,让她感受到了极大的尊严。”)”可知,之前前往服装店总会让Salah感到畏惧,因为那里的衣服总是高高挂起,遥不可及。由此可知,daunting意为“令人畏惧的,令人害怕的”。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident left her disabled in 1983 — approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help bring fashion to a completely under-served community.

(2004年,卡米列里开设了一家专门面向使用轮椅人士的商店。)”可知,她为残障人士等行动不便者设计时尚舒适的衣服,并开设商店,改变了他们的生活,由此可知,她是一个有爱心的人;根据第二段“The world was my market because nobody had ever done this before. (整个世界都是我的市场,因为从来没有人做过这件事。)”可知,她看到了这个市场是空白的,所以她决定开一家商店,这说明她是一个有远见的人。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Camilleri’s pieces are now part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum, and her success in a new rare market has not gone unnoticed in the mainstream fashion world. She is a truly brilliant technician. She puts fashion and confidence within reach of the disabled,” Canadian television personality and fashion critic Jeanne Beker says. (“卡米列里的创作如今已成为安大略皇家博物馆展览的一部分,她在新兴稀有市场上的成功也未被主流时尚界忽视。她是一位真正杰出的技术专家,让残疾人能够接触到时尚与自信,”加拿大电视名人兼时尚评论家珍妮·贝克表示。)”可知,贝克尔想表达的是卡米列里在时尚界取得了成功,是一位成功的时尚创新者。
C
We often say, “It’s on the tip of my tongue,” when we are sure we know a word but cannot recall it at that moment. This is not merely a clever idiom; it reflects a real neurological phenomenon called “lethologica”. The term comes from the Greek words “lethe”, meaning “forgetfulness”, and “logos”, meaning “word”, though researchers usually refer to it as a tip- of-the-tongue state, or TOT state. TOT states occur worldwide. A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience. But why does it happen?
Producing language is a complex process in which the brain transforms abstract ideas into words. Normally this works smoothly, explains Karin Humphreys from Canada’s McMaster University. “In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,” she said in 2015.
Interestingly, TOT states can repeat for the same word. A 2008 study showed that the longer someone struggles to recall a word before being reminded, the more likely they are to experience another TOT state when trying to remember it later. On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study. People are able to regain the intended word more than 90% of the time.
TOT states are more likely when individuals are tired and when they attempt to remember proper names. Age also plays a role: a 1999 diary study found that TOT states occur about once or twice a week for young adults aged 18 to 24, but they are twice as frequent for those aged 80 to 92. This phenomenon fascinates researchers because it shows how memory, language, and cognition can momentarily become disconnected, leaving us knowing that a word exists even when it temporarily slips from reach.
28. What can we learn from the 1999 survey?
A. TOT states are similar in English-speaking countries.
B. Most languages have similar expressions for the TOT state.
C. People from Greece suffer more from TOT states.
D. Over three-quarters of people experience TOT worldwide.
29. Why do people fall into a TOT state according to Karin Humphreys?
A. They have too many abstract ideas in their mind.
B. They haven’t practiced the new words enough.
C. Their brain fails to finish the language producing process.
D. Their memory is permanently damaged by tiredness.
30. How can people avoid forgetting the same word again?
A. Try to recall the word by themselves.
B. Wait patiently until someone reminds them of it.
C. Increase the chance to repeat it.
D. Turn to researchers for professional help.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Origins of the Well-known Idioms
B. Different Symptoms of TOT at Different Levels
C. Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence
D. The Connection Between Age and Language
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要解释了“话到嘴边想不起来”这一现象,探讨了其神经学原理、触发因素及应对方法,揭示了记忆、语言和认知的暂时性脱节。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A survey in 1999 found that over three-quarters of languages use a tongue metaphor similar to English to describe this experience.(1999年的一项调查发现,超过四分之三的语言使用与英语类似的舌头隐喻来描述这种体验。)”可知,1999年的调查表明大多数语言都有与英语类似的表达方式来描述TOT状态。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In a TOT state, however, the system breaks down and you become stuck partway through,’ she said in 2015.(然而在TOT状态下,这个系统会崩溃,你会在中途卡住。)”可知,根据Karin Humphreys的说法,人们陷入TOT状态是因为大脑未能完成语言产生的过程。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“On the contrary, recalling the word on one’s own reduces the chance of repetition, as found in a 2015 study.(相反,2015年的一项研究发现,自己回忆起该单词会减少重复的可能性。)”可知,人们可以通过自己回忆单词来避免再次遗忘同一个词。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了“话到嘴边想不起来(TOT state)”这一神经现象,解释了它为什么会发生——即大脑在语言产生过程中暂时“卡壳”的原因。C选项“Why Your Brain Sometimes Freezes Mid-Sentence(为什么你的大脑有时会在句子中间卡壳)”最能概括文章主旨,适合用作标题。
D
Most of us assume that warmth is what leads to generosity, rather than the other way around. It’s an intuitive order of events: we like people first and then choose to help them. However, according to research from the Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences, the opposite can also be just as true. Interestingly, this is what’s known as the “Ben Franklin effect”. After doing someone a favor, you begin to like them more, despite having felt neutral or indifferent about them beforehand.
In terms of the Ben Franklin effect, this means that if you help someone, your brain is likely to try and reason: “Well, I wouldn’t go out of my way for someone I dislike, so I must like them.” Psychologists identified that the cognitive (认知的) mechanism underlying this intuitive social shift was, in fact, cognitive dissonance (失调). In simple terms, cognitive dissonance occurs when our behaviors are inconsistent with our beliefs. In turn, our minds unconsciously adjust our attitudes to reduce the discomfort this inconsistency brings on.
The concept gained significant scientific recognition after renowned researchers Jon Jecker and David Landy’s classic 1969 experiment, published in the journal Human Relations. Specifically, participants within the study who had done a favor for the experimenter rated the experimenter as much more likable than those who had received a favor or had no interaction at all.
With this study, Jecker and Landy were able to provide proof for the effect. This strongly suggests that the things that we do are more likely to shape our beliefs than the inverse (相反). In other words, when we act generously, we unconsciously convince ourselves that we must care for the recipient in some way or another.
The Ben Franklin effect suggests that our actions can build connections far more reliably than just our emotions alone. This has profound meanings for romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics and even healing old wounds. Offering a small favor to someone you feel slightly distant from can be a gentle yet effective way to reopen the connection. However, the inverse is also true: if you never put in effort, your pride will only create emotional distance.
32. Which of the following agrees with the Ben Franklin effect?
A. Warm relations lead to generosity. B. Generous behavior wins popularity.
C. Good deeds deserve greater rewards. D. Acts of kindness establish closer ties.
33. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The motive for helping the people we dislike. B. The underlying logic of reducing discomfort.
C. The psychological process behind the effect. D. The method of managing cognitive dissonance.
34. Jecker and Landy’s experiment seems to tell us that ________.
A. experimenters rate helpful participants higher B. emotions heal scars more effectively than actions
C. behavior is a contributor to the formation of ideas D. people prefer to care for the recipient before donation
35. What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. Potential implications of the effect. B. Supporting evidence for the effect.
C. The further interpretation of the effect. D. The negativity of the inverse of the effect.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了“本·富兰克林效应”及其心理机制与现实启示。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“After doing someone a favor, you begin to like them more, despite having felt neutral or indifferent about them beforehand.(帮别人一个忙之后,你会开始更喜欢他们,尽管在此之前你对他们感觉平淡或漠不关心)”可知,本·富兰克林效应强调帮助行为能拉近人际距离。D项“Acts of kindness establish closer ties(善意之举建立更紧密的联系)”与之相符。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Psychologists identified that the cognitive ( 认知的) mechanism underlying this intuitive social shift was, in fact, cognitive dissonance (失调). In simple terms, cognitive dissonance occurs when our behaviors are inconsistent with our beliefs. In turn, our minds unconsciously adjust our attitudes to reduce the discomfort this inconsistency brings on.(心理学家指出,这种直觉性社会转变背后的认知机制,实际上就是认知失调。简单来说,当我们的行为与信念不一致时,就会产生认知失调。反过来,我们的大脑会无意识地调整我们的态度,以减轻这种不一致所带来的不适感)”可知,本段主要阐释了该效应背后的心理运作过程。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“This strongly suggests that the things that we do are more likely to shape our beliefs than the inverse.(这有力地表明,我们所做的事比相反的情况更有可能塑造我们的信念)”可知,实验证明了行为对观念形成的推动作用。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The Ben Franklin effect suggests that our actions can build connections far more reliably than just our emotions alone. This has profound meanings for romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics and even healing old wounds.(本·富兰克林效应表明,我们的行动比单纯的感情更能可靠地建立联系。这对恋爱关系、友谊、家庭动态甚至愈合旧伤都具有深远意义)”可知,作者在此强调了该效应的广泛应用价值。

The Getting Things Done (GTD) method refers to a personal productivity methodology (方法) that redefines how you approach your life and work. It relies on the idea that you need to simplify your workload. If you frequently feel overwhelmed or you just have too much going on, this method might be great for you. ____36____ However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components.
____37____. Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems irrelevant. You will find it somehow helpful in the future.
Clarify what you have written down. Look at each task and identify the steps you can take to complete it. Quickly write those down, so you break each task into steps. ____38____. Then consider whether it can be thrown out or handled later instead.
Organize by creating a to-do list, putting action items on your calendar, assigning smaller tasks, filing away reference materials to create a timely, structured approach to getting it done.
Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis. ____39____. Try using an “after-action review” to comprehensively go over what you’ve done and what you need to work on or stick with as you move forward.
Engage by tackling your action items knowingly and actively. You have a list of tasks and action items, an organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself. ____40____.

C. Sometimes you may feel it tough to work out the plan
D. The methodology of GTD may be involved enough to fill a whole book
E. Then you have all in place and work towards goal completion gradually
F. This could mean every Monday, you check it, update or revise something
G. You may find that there are no actionable steps associated with some tasks
【答案】36. D 37. B 38. G 39. F 40. E
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍GTD高效工作法的定义、适用人群,并详细讲解该方法包含的五大核心实施步骤及其积极作用。
【36题详解】
下文“However, it can indeed easily be broken down into five main components.(然而,它确实可以被简单拆解为五个主要部分)”与设空句构成转折关系,说明设空句会表述GTD方法看似复杂。D选项“The methodology of GTD may be involved enough to fill a whole book(GTD这套方法内容繁杂,足以写满一整本书)”指出该方法体系庞大、内容复杂,与下文的简单拆解形成语义转折。
【37题详解】
本空为段首主题句,概括本段核心内容。下文“Write it all down, either in a planner or a document, and don’t skip anything, even if it seems irrelevant.(把一切都写下来,记在计划表或文档中,不要遗漏任何事,即便看似无关紧要)”主要讲述记录所有事务的做法。B选项“Seize anything that is coming into your head(抓住任何涌入你脑海中的想法)”概括本段记录事务的核心主旨,与下文写下来的具体做法相呼应。
【38题详解】
上文“Quickly write those down, so you break each task into steps.(快速记录下来,将每个任务拆解为具体步骤)”讲述拆解任务步骤,下文“Then consider whether it can be thrown out or handled later instead.(然后思考它是否可以舍弃或延后处理)”承接设空句展开后续操作。G选项“You may find that there are no actionable steps associated with some tasks(你可能会发现部分任务没有可执行的步骤)”衔接上文拆解任务的动作,引出无执行步骤的任务的后续处理方式。
【39题详解】
上文“Reflect frequently and review all your organized materials on a regular basis.(经常反思,定期复盘所有整理好的资料)”提出要定期复盘,F选项“This could mean every Monday, you check it, update or revise something(这可以是每周一,你对资料进行核查、更新或修改)”具体举例说明定期复盘的方式,对上文的定期复盘进行解释说明。
【40题详解】
上文“You have a list of tasks and action items, an organized system with dates and references, and a schedule for checking in with yourself.(你拥有任务清单、带日期和参考信息的整理体系以及自我复盘的计划)”说明前期准备工作已全部完成,E选项“Then you have all in place and work towards goal completion gradually(此时一切准备就绪,你可以逐步朝着完成目标努力)”承接上文完备的准备工作,引出最终付诸行动、完成目标的步骤,贴合段落“主动执行”的主旨。

【导语】孔明灯由诸葛亮发明,最初用作军事信号,后世褪去军用属性融入民俗节庆,承载祈福寓意,如今走出中国成为风靡世界的文化符号。
【56题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:这些漂浮的灯笼由轻质纸张制成,依靠一小团火焰加热内部空气升空。此处为谓语动词,主语These floating lanterns与make为被动关系,介绍物品属性用一般现在时,主语These floating lanterns为复数,所以应用are made。
【57题详解】

【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:燃放孔明灯的习俗在中秋、元宵尤为盛行,人们在这些节日借它寄托祈愿、心愿与感恩之情。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival,在从句中作抽象地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Betty ran a modest bakery in a small town. Just a few years earlier, it had been the only place where locals bought their bread. Now, however, Betty felt she was slowly losing to the new, fashionable bakeries. Working alone and making only small amounts of bread each day certainly didn’t help.
One evening, as Betty opened the cash register, she wondered how she was going to pay her bills. The silence of the empty shop felt heavy, and by looking at the clock, Betty knew there would be no more customers today. Sad thoughts filled her mind, but deep down, Betty knew she couldn’t give up. She decided to bake one last batch (批) of rye (黑麦) bread, not for sale, but for her own family. She put all her energy into kneading (揉) the dough, pressing and folding it until it reached the perfect texture (质地).
As the bread was rising in the oven, a woman with a tired face walked into the shop. Betty was surprised to have a customer at this hour. She greeted the woman and asked what she needed. The woman just answered, “Real bread.” “Sorry?” Betty asked, not quite understanding what she meant. The woman sighed and explained that she had visited every bakery in town, but all the bread was mass-produced and tasteless. Betty said, “I’m making rye bread right now. Maybe you can have a taste.” The woman nodded and sat down at a table.
Before long, Betty took out a piece of the freshly baked rye bread and handed it to the woman. She took a bite, and her eyes lit up at once. “This is exactly what I’ve been looking for,” she said excitedly. “I’ll buy the rest. How much does it cost?” “Free, madam,” Betty said. “I had planned to make it for my family. Since you like it, I’d be happy to give it to you.” The woman looked at Betty in surprise and thanked her. Then she left with the bread in her hand.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Betty stood alone again in the quiet shop, but this time, the silence felt different.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few days later, the same woman returned, this time with two friends.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文①
Betty stood alone again in the quiet shop, but this time, the silence felt different. Gone was the heavy weight of despair that had suffocated (使窒息) her earlier. Instead, a warm sense of hope filled her heart. Looking down at her hands, lined with creases (皱纹) from years of kneading dough (揉面), Betty smiled. The woman’s delighted eyes and kind words lingered (继续留存) in her mind. Betty realized that in a world full of mass-produced bread, there was still a place for her honest, handmade loaves. She was not just baking bread; she was passing down warmth and genuine flavor. Determination settled in her heart — she would keep her bakery open whatever hardships lay ahead.
A few days later, the same woman returned, this time with two friends. She introduced herself to Betty as a food critic (美食评论家). She told her friends that she had found “real bread”, and they wanted to try it too. Betty warmly welcomed them and offered them freshly baked rye bread. After taking a bite, they immediately nodded in approval. “You really should feature this bread in your food column,” one of them said. The woman smiled and turned to Betty. Betty was overjoyed and expressed her deep gratitude. Before long, more and more customers began visiting her bakery. The humble shop slowly came back to life. And Betty knew that genuine handmade bread would never lose its charm.
例文②
Betty stood alone again in the quiet shop, but this time, the silence felt different. The heaviness that had filled the room seemed to lift with the lingering smell of rye bread. For the first time in weeks, Betty smiled with relief. Recalling the woman’s words about “real bread”, she felt a surge of confidence sweep over her. Betty realized that what made a bakery special was neither fashionable decoration nor quick service, but the care folded into every loaf. With this in mind, she cleaned the counter and wrote on a small board: “Fresh homemade bread every day.” Before leaving, she touched the flour on her apron (围裙) and whispered, “Maybe this is not the end.”
A few days later, the same woman returned, this time with two friends. Betty welcomed them in surprise and served them warm, freshly baked slices. After one bite, the two friends exchanged delighted looks. The three then bought several loaves and promised to recommend Betty’s bakery to their neighbors. Soon, word of Betty’s “real bread” spread through the town. Customers flocked (蜂拥) there for bread that tasted of patience, warmth and home. Though exhausted, Betty felt alive again, her hands busy and her heart steady. Watching people leave with bread in their hands and smiles on their faces, Betty finally understood: Sincerity might begin quietly, but it could rise, like good dough, into something strong enough to save a dream.
