"An answer sheet,please."As I raised my hand,all the heads in the hall turned towards me.They were surprised to see a grey-haired,confident-looking grandmother in her sixties,taking a Sanskrit exam. I spent over twenty years teaching.My husband had a job that required us to move a lot,so we lived in several cities.Finally,I had to give up my job when my mother-in-law developed dementia ( and needed care.But my exploration of knowledge never stopped. For a long time,I was interested in Indian languages.I leamed that there was a village called Mattur in Karataka,India,and the whole village speaks Sanskrit.Later,I had the chance to visit this village and experience the joy of hearing the locals speak Sanskrit.There,I also met a group of students who were working to protect this ancient language so that it might regain its historical importance.I was deeply encouraged by this.When Iretumed home,Iimmediately signed up for an introductory Sanskrit course.I started preparing for my first formal exam in over 42 years. At first,it was a challenge for me to remember the words and sentences,but I got over it with careful planning and practice.I did well on the exam.My friends asked if I was on edge while taking 第3页共11页 the exam.I told them when I sat there in the examination hall,it did not feel like pressure or fear.It felt like a retum to my teaching days.In the end,I completed all four exams in one go and achieved excellent results in each of them. After more than forty years away from exams,I realized something simple:the ability to leamn never leaves us.If you have a strong will and great passion ()age is just a number. 24.Why did the author leave her teaching job? A.To look after her family. B.To move to a new place. C.To get ready for a test. D.To explore different cities 25.What can be inferred about the author's visit to Mattur? A.It was a planed study trip. B.It got her to learn Sanskrit. C.It drove her to protect Sanskrit. D.It reminded her of her teaching. 26.What do the underlined words"on edge"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Extremely excited. B.Deeply anxious. C.Fully prepared. D.Quite disappointed. 27.What does the author's experience show? A.All roads lead to Rome B.A good beginning is half done. C.Knowledge is power. D.You are never too old to learn. Sleep is one of the most fundamental building blocks of life.All animals sleep,from dogs to humans.It has long been known that sleep also plays an important role in physical and emotional health. But nobody might think that mnemory and learning are acquired while one is sleeping.However,in fact, the researchers from the University of South Australia have recently found just the opposite. The researchers conducted an experiment with 35 native English speakers.These 35 participants were in the process of learning a mini-language called Mini Pinyin.Half of the students leamned the language in the moming and then went on with their days,while the other half studied in the evening and then slept at the lab so that the researchers could record their brainwaves.Both groups were tested on their knowledge of Mini Pinyin in the morning,and the group that had slept soon after they studied performed much better than those who had not. According to previous research,there are two phases()that the brain cycles through when sleeping.The first is called REM sleep.During this phase,which usually takes place about an hour and a half after a person has fallen asleep,brain activity peaks and shows levels like those of a person who is awake.This is when dreams occur.In non-REM sleep,brain activity is low. "Sleep is not just restful;it's an active,reshaping state for the brain,"Dr.Scott Cousins,a researcher of the study,said.They found that the improvements were linked to two types of brainwaves -slow oscillations and sleep spindles,which become coupled during non-REM sleep.The coupling of these brainwaves appears to help deliver the information from the hippocampus()to the cortex (大脑皮层)，which is where long--term memory is stored. There is no doubt that it is good news for anyone who wants to study a foreign language.What's more,this study could also help improve the lives of those with language-related impairments(). Now fhere is one more reason to get a good night's sleep. 第4页共11页 28.What does the author suggest about the common belief of sleep in Paragraph 1? A.It fails to see sleep's role in memory and learning. B.It shows memory matters more than sleep. C.It places too much stress on physical health. D.It correctly explains why all animals need sleep. 29.What was the key difference between the two groups in the experiment? A.The time when they fell asleep. B.The language they learned. C.The timing of sleep after learning. D.The length of their sleep period. 30.Why does the author mention the coupling of brainwaves in Paragraph 4? A.To explain how memory is stored during sleep.B.To compare REM sleep with non-REM sleep C.To show that sleep is a resting state. D.To prove that dreams occur in REM sleep. 31.Which statement would the author most likely agree with? A.Dreams occur when brain activity is at its lowest level. B.Learning a language in the moming is better than learning it at night C.The study may benefit people with language-related problems. D.REM sleep matters more than non-REM sleep for storing memories. 0 Zara is one of the world's hottest fashion chains.Founded in 1975,its parent company,Inditex,has become a leading global apparel retailer(服装零售商).Sinceits initial publicoffering in20oL,Inditex,, which owns eight fashion brands,has doubled the number of its stores and uadrupled its sales to US$25.7 billion.Zara alone contributes two-thirds of Inditex's total sales.In such an intensely competitive industry,the secret to Zara's success lies in its ability to rewrite the traditional rules of fashion. Traditionally,fashion stores like GAP and H&M outsource (their production to other companies,often in Asia,which usually takes several months.Errors in trend prediction can easily lead to unsold inventory(存货)，forcing these stores to offer steep discounts(折扣)一the industry average is 40 percent across all goods.Zara,however,does things differently.By concentrating more than half of its production in-house in Spain and nearby countries,it has developed a super-responsive supply chain.It can design,produce and deliver a new clothing item to its stores in just 15 days-a pace that is unheard of in the industry.As a result,Zara sells more at full price and averages only 15 percent discounts. Another key strategy of Zara is that it treats shortage as a good thing.Unlike traditional stores that try to avoid running out of items,Zara intentionally deals in small batches()because occasional shortages contribute to the shopper's urge to"buy now"Items sell out fast,with new products arriving at retail outlets(零售门店)twice a week.By offering about20,000 different items per year一triple what stores like GAP do-Zara motivates customers to visit more frequently.In London,shoppers visit an average store four times a year,but frequent Zara 17 times. Furthermore,Zara spends surprisingly little on advertising:just 0.3 percent of its total sales, compared with 4 percent for GAP and H&M.The high foot traffic in its stores reduces the need for media advertising.Instead,Zara runs its supply chain like clockwork.Trucks and cargo flights runon 第5页共11页 established schedules,just like a bus service.From Spain,shipments reach most European stores in 24 hours and Asian stores in 72 hours.Interestingly,regular customers also know exactly when shipments will arrive,motivating them to check out new products on shipment arrival days,known by Zara fans as "Z days."Few competitors have successfully copied Zara's fast fashion and flexible business model. The real question is how long it will take for Zara's rivals(竟争对手)to out-ZaraZara. 32.What is a major disadvantage of the traditional outsourcing model? A.It costs companies too much money over the long term. B.It requires companies to build their own factories by themselves. C.It may cause unsold inventory due to long order-to-delivery times. D.It prevents companies from predicting the latest fashion trends. 33.What can we learn about"Z days"from the passage? A.They are days when new shipments arrive at Zara stores B.They are days when Zara launches new advertisements. C.They are days when Zara offers steep discounts. D.They are days when store staff check out new products. 34.What is the author's attitude towards Zara's business model? A.Critical. B.Indifferent. C.Positive D.Doubtful. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.The history of a global fashion brand. B.The race between Zara and other brands. C.The unique business strategies of Zara D.The importance of a fast supply chain. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选山能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项， In our modern economy,accelerated learning(加速学习)can be extremely important for success..

Then one Friday aftemoon,it disappeared from my desk.I searched the drawer,my schoolbag,and even the rubbish bin,but in vain.My heart was seized by a terrible suspicion ()-Jack had praised it so often.He must have taken it.
