Despite that, she refused to be easily defeated. Instead, she chose to spread light to everyone around her. Alexia started a series of small gatherings for the kids in the neighborhood. It was her way of enhancing connections among her neighbors. For those who couldn't attend, she made funny videos and shared her artworks on the social media.She loved to use her creativity to make ordinary things beautiful. 周周练 Her mother recalled, “Somebody said Alexia was an actress and that the world was her stage. She was a representative of joy.” When it was time for her to receive another operation—she had fifteen in all—Alexia could go about it with failure. No complaining and no crying, she just got through it and got back to living. Her teachers remembered her as an inspiring girl everyone wanted to be around. With an infectious (有感染力的) smile and an incredible passion for life, she approaches each day as a new opportunity to conquer her illness and make a difference. 周周练 Sometimes it happens that a very special person comes into our life to welcome each day with gratitude, to cherish the moments of joy, to brave life's challenges, and to lighten up the lives of people around. Alexia's artworks made people happy. Her videos made people suffering hard things focus on good things and stay optimistic. Her positive mindset brought a sense of hope to those facing similar challenges. 周周练 Without any good luck, Alexia passed away at the age of 16. “She made a choice to live her life with joy and optimism，” said her father. That spirit continued with her family founding an organization called Alexia's Flight, which committed to inspiring others to live life as she did. The organization raised money for medical research and also celebrated life by sharing the message: Spread your wings and shine your light. 周周练 【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了从小身患重病的亚历克西娅在勇敢地与疾病作斗争的同时，保持着积极乐观的人生态度，并通过组织各种形式的活动来影响身边的人的故事。 周周练 24．How did Alexia live her life when facing her serious disease?

A．To attract more people to befriend her. B．To raise more money for her treatment. C．To tell people to face life in an active way.

A．Bright and creative. B．Strong and humorous. C．Talented and honest. D．Organized and sensitive. 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Instead, she chose to spread light to everyone around her.”可知，从小身患重病的亚历克西娅有着积极乐观的心态；根据第二段内容可知，她是一个有创造力的女孩。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 C Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven't worn for years but are reluctant to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can't throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论).It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit.This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. 周周练 Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey showing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions.Participants imagined spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin, realizing later they were for the same weekend.They were told Wisconsin would be more enjoyable.When asked which trip to take, 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. 周周练 Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions.Once we've invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don't follow through.We fail to realize that past costs won't be recovered.Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits.This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where losses feel worse than gains.We avoid losses, making choices based on avoiding the “loss” of our past investment instead of considering the benefits gained if we don't continue our commitment. 周周练 No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance.So our society loves to emphasize perseverance.Never give up! Don't waste.But only you know the right path for you.Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all.You might realize a path you're on is no longer the right one or never was.That's a painful realization. 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了沉没成本谬论的概念及其对决策的影响，引导读者关注未来的成本与收益，以更明智的态度面对生活中的取舍。 周周练 28．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the passage? A．People benefit from sticking with a plan. B．People's consumption view has changed. C．People refuse to give up the past commitment. D．People's clothes are becoming more expensive. 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Do you have a suit or dress in the closet...to the sunk cost fallacy.”可知，第一段描述的是人们拒绝放弃过去的投入。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 29．Why did more than half of the participants choose the trip to Michigan in the survey? A．To save more of the loss. B．To appear more reasonable. C．To make a greater investment. D．To enjoy more of themselves. √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When asked which trip to take...because they had made a greater initial investment.”可知，为了避免更多的损失，人们不会选择合理的威斯康星州，而是继续选择密歇根州。 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 30．When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur?

D．When we make decisions based on past costs emotionally. √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions.”和“Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits.”可知，当我们情绪化地根据过去的成本做决定时，容易发生沉没成本谬论。 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 31．What is the author's attitude towards “perseverance”？ A．Favourable. B．Dismissive. C．Objective. D．Unclear. 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者认可毅力的好处，但也强调了在某些情况下，人们要选择适合自己的路。因此作者对于“毅力”的态度是客观的。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 D Jokes and humour are often thought of as unimportant. If the lawyer defending you in court couldn't stop joking, you'd be understandably alarmed. However, regarding humour as insignificant is a mistake. Humour, jokes and laughter have a vital role to play in human behaviour and interaction. They are a powerful part of social bonding and are genuinely beneficial for health via their stress-relieving properties. 周周练 Why do we respond, in such powerful and rewarding ways, to things that objectively make little sense? A substantial amount of data has been generated regarding how humour works in the brain and on the various types of recognisable jokes that trigger it. 周周练 Verbal puns(双关语), the most familiar type of joke, involve words that convey two meanings at once. For example, “Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers? In case he got a hole in one.” Here “hole in one” has two possible interpretations. Their simplicity and familiarity mean most people recognise the humour in puns. So, the brain's humour processes are still engaged. 周周练 But where does humour arise from in the brain? Considerable research points towards a specific system in the brain for recognising humour. This system seemingly detects and resolves incongruity (不和谐). Our brains know how things, like languages and behaviors, should work. But, in the real world, many things don't match our expectations. It seems our brains have evolved a system to recognise when this happens. 周周练 If normality is subverted it means we don't know what's going to happen, which creates cognitive (认知的) tension. However, the system that recognises incongruity seemingly also resolves it, by providing an explanation, or at least a confirmation that the incongruity has no negative consequences. This removes the uncertainty, relieving the tension. So, we experience a rewarding feeling. If the incongruity is not resolved, however, humour is absent. If the answer to “Why did the golfer wear two pairs of trousers？” is “In case the metal owl that lives in his gold bag attacks him”，that's not funny. There's unresolved incongruity. 周周练 Humour is essentially our brain going，“This isn't how things usually work...but I'm okay with it！” 【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们在听到笑话并理解其中的幽默感时，大脑的工作机制。 周周练 32．What does the author say about humour in the first two paragraphs? A．Its positive role is often underrated. B．It mainly serves to entertain and amuse. C．Its harmful effects shouldn't be ignored. D．It is essential for professional communication. √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Jokes and humour are often thought of as unimportant.”和第二段中的“However, regarding humour as insignificant is a mistake.”可知，幽默给人们带来的积极作用经常被低估。 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 33．Why does the author mention the “hole in one” example in paragraph 4? A．To prove a theory. B．To draw a conclusion. C．To illustrate a concept. D．To make a comparison. 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，此处通过举例对双关语作进一步的解释说明。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 34．What does the underlined word “subverted” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Detected. B．Overturned. C．Established. D．Repeated. 解析：词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“But, in the real...when this happens.”以及画线词所在句可知，此处指的是如果符合人们预期的正常情况被颠覆或者被推翻会造成认知紧张。因此，画线词意为“推翻”。 √ 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33 34 35 31 22 23 21 周周练 35．What is the best title for the passage?

In two studies involving more than 700 first-year liberal arts undergraduates, we began by assessing how our participants saw themselves. The majority held strong interest in the arts, humanities and social sciences. 38._________________________________________ ______________________________ A．So can a growth mindset of interest be taught?

G．For example, students read an article stating the benefits of viewing interest as developable. 39．G　解析：根据上文“Our intervention included reading...simply found and fixed.” 可知，空处应说明具体做法，G项承接上文，符合语境。 周周练 These students were required to take at least one maths and science course during their first year. That meant we could check how the intervention may have influenced their perspectives (视角) on maths and science. 周周练 By the end of the year, students who had received the intervention were more interested in their required maths and science courses than those who received the study skills module—and this boost was particularly apparent among students who initially reported that they were not a “maths-and-science person”. 40._____________________ ____________________________________________________________ These students became more skilled in maths and science and grew into interdisciplinary (跨学科的) scholars. E．They also earned better grades in courses than those receiving the study skills module. 40．E　解析：根据上文“By the end of the year...a ‘maths-and-science person’．”以及下文“These students became more skilled in maths and science and grew into interdisciplinary scholars.”可知，此处说明了接受干预的学生获得的益处，E项符合语境。 周周练 A．So can a growth mindset of interest be taught? B．How can a growth mindset of interest be cultivated? C．Meanwhile, a growth mindset of interest comes with many advantages. D．Moreover, most reported that they were not a “maths-and-science person”． E．They also earned better grades in courses than those receiving the study skills module. 周周练 F．However, a growth mindset of interest can fuel people's further exploration to different fields.

I'm Li Hua.I'd like to share a funny incident that happened to me last week. I was rushing to school and accidentally put on two different shoes, completely unaware of my mistake.

It's a day that I won't forget, and it's a wonderful reminder to seek out humour in life's seemingly small things.

It was a thrill for me to drop in to see her and surprise her with her favourite food. 周周练 In her later years, both my mom and dad lived in a life-care retirement center. Partially due to the stress of my mom's Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默病), my dad became ill and was unable to care for her anymore. They lived in separate rooms, yet were together as much as they could be. They loved each other so much. Hand-in-hand, those silver-haired lovers would stroll the halls, visiting their friends and passing on love. They were the “romantics” of the retirement center. 周周练 When I realized that her condition was worsening, I wrote her a letter. I told her how much I loved her, that she was a great mother and that I was proud to be her son. I told her things I had wanted to say for a long time and had been too stubborn to say until I realized she might or might not be in a position to understand the love behind the words. It was a detailed letter of love. My dad told me that she would often spend many hours reading and re-reading that letter. 周周练 It saddened me to know that my mom no longer knew I was her son. She would often ask, “Now, what was your name？” and I would proudly reply that my name was Larry and I was her son. She would smile and reach for my hand. I wish I could once again experience that special touch. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 周周练 Last weekend, I visited my mom with some strawberry pie._________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Without a word, I pulled a chair close to the bed and reached over to hold her hand. ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 周周练 One possible version： Last weekend, I visited my mom with some strawberry pie. Even though my mother's memory was fading, her love for strawberry pie remained. When I brought one to her, her eyes would light up, and a huge smile would spread across her face. Watching her enjoy her favourite dessert brought me a sense of joy and comfort, knowing that I could still bring her happiness in her final years. With the company of my dad and me, she had lain down on the bed for a rest, awake. We exchanged smiles but I knew she didn't know who I was. 周周练 Without a word, I pulled a chair close to the bed and reached over to hold her hand. It was a wonderful connection. In the quiet I could feel the magic of our unconditional love even though I knew she was quite unaware of who was holding her hand. After about 10 minutes, I felt her give my hand a tender squeeze...three squeezes. They were brief and instantly I knew what she was saying without having to hear any words.
