In his book The Power of Surprise, Rousell presents his findings from decades of his research: ②_____ They form our self-concept.
③_____ Samantha felt her shyness was a weakness, until her swim coach surprised her by naming her captain. He said, "She may be quiet, but when this girl says something, you're going to want to listen." The surprise left her feeling quietly powerful. The change in her beliefs and behaviors was instant and lasting.
Not all surprising moments are created equal. Rousell illustrates some research-backed steps to use surprise well.
Spot self-criticism you'd like to help someone revise. For example, perhaps your student sees himself as a slow learner, or your employee believes he lacks creativity. ④_____ Maybe the student who thinks he learns slowly is also very thorough.

Seeing these can help put into perspective what’s important and what you can let go of for now. This can help decrease the anticipation of the stress and dread of the week.
Create some excitement for the week ahead.
Having something to look forward to gives you something to think about that’s pleasing, rather than only focusing on the dread you feel. It’s a form of reframing your thoughts.

四、阅读理解
Researchers have developed a device that turns sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and formic acid(甲酸)—a stable fuel that can either be used directly or be changed into hydrogen, without requiring any additional components or electricity. The device, developed by a team from the University of Cambridge, is a significant step toward achieving artificial photosynthesis(光合作用).
Harvesting solar energy to turn carbon dioxide into fuels is a promising way to reduce carbon emissions. However, it is challenging to produce these clean fuels without unwanted by-products. "In addition, the storage of gaseous fuels can he complicated—we want to get to the point where we can cleanly produce a liquid fuel that can also be easily stored and transported," said Professor Reisner, senior author of the study.
In 2019, researchers from Reisner's group developed a solar reactor based on an "artificial leaf" design, which also uses sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce a fuel, known as syn-gas. The new technology is quite similar to the artificial leaf but works in a different way and produces formic acid, which can be chemically converted into different types of fuel.
The artificial leaf used components from solar cells, while the new device doesn't require these components and relies entirely on photocatalysts(光催化剂) placed on a sheet. The sheets are made up of semiconductor powders, which can be prepared in large quantities easily and cost-effectively. In addition, this new technology produces clean fuels that are easier to store.
"We were surprised how well it worked-it produced almost no by-products," said Reisner. "Sometimes things don't work as well as you expected, but this was a rare case where it actually worked better."
The researchers are now working to further improve efficiency. Additionally, they are exploring other catalysts to get different solar fuels. "We hope this technology will pave the way toward sustainable and practical solar fuel production," said Reisner.
9、What was a problem with artificial photosynthesis
A. It consumes too much electricity.
B. It produces too many by-products.
C. The energy it produces is not easy to store.
D. The energy it produces cannot be used directly.
10、What advantage does the new device have over the artificial leaf
A. It is more environmentally friendly.
B. It is lighter and easier to carry.
C. It is more economical and efficient.
D. It uses less energy-demanding solar cells.
11、What do the researchers focus on doing now
A.Trying out new catalysts. B. Making full use of by-products.
C. Exploring other sustainable fuels. D. Mass-producing their new device.
12、What can be the best title for the text
A. The Prospect of Artificial Photosynthesis
B. A New Device for Artificial Photosynthesis
C. The Opportunities and Challenges of Photocatalysts
D. The Artificial Leaf: Great Progress on Making Clean Energy
It is a windy day. Glenn Gould has got a coffee cup sitting on the piano top and is working on a music written by Bach. As he plays, he gets so totally lost in the music that suddenly, he stands up, and walks in what looks like a dream to the window.
There's a total silence. Then the Bach flows out of him. He's still playing, but in his head. Then he turns, wanders back, sits down on a low chair in front of the piano and picks up right where his voice left off, but now with new energy.
Gould, the greatest interpreter of Bach, is a strange man. He doesn't like to practise. Instead, he'll prepare for concerts mentally, running the piece over and over and playing with imaginary fingers.
Gould, for some reasons, reminds me of Michael Jordan playing basketball or Etta James singing the blues: There's a concentration that's so deep that it feels special, like a kind of “flow”.
“When you are in it, you lose track of everything except what you're doing,” writes neuroscientist Daniel Levitin. “There was a surgeon, who wasn't aware that the roof of his operating room had collapsed until he was done with the surgery. In this state, what you think becomes what you do. You get blissfully lost in an activity, forgetting time, yourselves and your problems.”
How does one get there That's still a mystery. Practice is important. Strong will matters. Talent helps. When you find your “flow”, your brain changes. Sex, hunger and thirst matter less. You are chemically released and can now wander far and wide. Yes, you have no idea where you are or how this is happening. But once you you’re your “flow”, it’s one of the most wonderful experiences ever.
When I watch Glenn Gould walking back to his piano, I see a man living in heaven, if there is one.
13、How does Glenn Gould usually prepare for concerts
A. By drinking coffee to get more energy.
B. By running the pieces in his head first.
C. By practicing over and over on the piano.
D. By doing exercise in his sweet dreams.
14、Which of the following best describes being in the state of “flow”
A. Encouraged. B. Worried. C. Absorbed. D. Absent-minded.
15、What does the underlined word “blissfully” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Happily. B. Occasionally. C. Unnecessarily. D. Hardly.
16、What is less likely to help us find our “flow”
A. Practice. B. Will. C. Talent. D. Desire.
Cultivated meat, also known as lab-grown meat, has been cleared for sale in the US.Actually,Lab-grown meat is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat.
Upside Foods and Good Meat, two companies that make “cultivated chicken”, said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins. Good Meat said that production is starting immediately. Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat (缸), much like what you’d find at a beer factory.
Last week both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products. In March, Good Meat received a “no questions” letter from the FDA, confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US. Upside Foods also received one in November. Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market. CEO of Good Meat, Josh Tetrick, described the approval as a major milestone for the company, the industry, and the food system. Upside founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future”.
Good Meat, which has been selling its products in Singapore, advertises its product as “meat without slaughter (屠宰)”, a more humane approach to eating meat. Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture, which emits greenhouse gases. The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant, although the launch time remains uncertain. As production increases, Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets.
Upside is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn, a San Francisco restaurant, but did not share a launch date yet. Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product. Eventually, the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets. For now, it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product.
17、What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common
A.Both have partnerships with international chefs.
B.Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat.
C.Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat.
D.Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution.
18、What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat
A.Higher safety for eating.
B.Lower costs for restaurants.
C.Improvements in traditional animal agriculture.
D.Positive impacts on climate change.
19、What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Diners have access to free products from Upside.
B.Curious customers will become the main force of buying.
C.Upside will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product.
D.Upside will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability.
20、What is the text mainly about
A.The benefits of cultivated meat.
B.The research on cultivated meat.
C.The history and processing of cultivated meat.
D.The approval and prospect of cultivated meat.
Consider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake — or at least a lack of hand-eye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.
To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nut-cracking stones used by a troop of long-tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones, producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).
Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz adds, noting that the monkeys have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional by-products of other pounding activities.
Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.
21、What can we learn from paragraph 2
A.The flakes produced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools.
B.Long-tailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nuts.
C.Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stones.
D.The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakes.
22、Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3
A. To clarify a complex concept. B. To provide specific proof.
C.To present an interesting fact. D. To make a detailed comparison.
23、What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study
A. Why macaques create flakes. B. Why hominins used stone tools.
C. How hominins began using flakes. D. How macaques cut food with flakes.
24、What is the best title of the passage
A.Flake technology: from macaques to hominins.
B.A mistake: the origin of human technology.
C.Pounding activities: on human evolutionary course.
D.A missing link: long-tailed macaques create flakes.
For 85 years, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked an original group of 724 men and more than 1,300 of their male and female descendants (后代) over three generations, asking thousands of questions and taking hundreds of measurements to find out what really keeps people healthy and happy.
Through all the years of studying these lives, one crucial factor stands out for the consistency and power of its bond to physical health, mental health and longevity: good relationships.
In 2008, researchers telephoned the wives and husbands of Harvard Study couples in their 80s every night for eight nights. Researchers spoke to each partner separately and asked them a series of questions about their days.
On days when these men and women spent more time in the company of others, they were happier. Like most older people, those in the Harvard Study experienced day-to-day rises and falls in their levels of physical pain and health difficulties. But researchers found that the people who were in more satisfying relationships were cushioned (缓冲) somewhat from these ups and downs of mood—their happiness did not decline as much on the days when they had more pain. Simply put, their happy marriages seemed to have a protective effect.
Elizabeth Gillespie, a therapist of couples, stated that although most of us found that our experience of relationships might be hard, and at times, impossible, it is essential to our well-being.
Today we live in much more complicated environments, so meeting our social needs presents different challenges. We might be sitting on a gold mine of vitality that we are not paying attention to, because it is hidden by the shiny appeal of smartphones or pushed to the side by work demands.
25、What’s the purpose of the Harvard Study of Adult Development
A. To study their lives over three generations.
B. To reveal the secret to health and well-being.
C. To track the descendants of an original group.
D. To study the relationship between health and happiness.
26、How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By working with other researchers.
B. By tracking specific groups of people.
C. By helping participants with social difficulties.
D. By comparing the results from different people.
27、Why did the author mention the examples in Paragraph 4
A. To provide evidence for the bond of health and longevity.
B. To introduce the concept of physical pain and health difficulties.
C. To show the negative impact of unhappy marriages on older people’s mood.
D. To support the positive impact of satisfying relationships on people’s lives.
28、According to Elizabeth Gillespie, what is essential to our well-being
A. Having good social connections.
B. Declining pains and difficulties.
C. Overcoming ups and downs of mood.
D. Experiencing rises and falls of physical health.

7、答案:
The online class was absolutely wonderful. Themed on the Appreciation of Classic Poetry, it unfolded the eternal charm of classic poetry to us. Online as it was, this class created a totally immersive atmosphere.
The highlight of the class was the short clip named “When Li Bai Meets William Wordsworth”. By comparing the differences and similarities of these two great romantic poets, the video gave us a new insight into their writing skills and the emotions hidden behind the lines. It also triggered our passion to explore more about the ever-lasting beauty of poems.
Honestly, it would be better if more interactive elements, such as mini-games or real-time comments, are included in this class. Generally speaking, it was truly fantastic.
8、答案:1. wearing2. is believed3. an4. particularly5. agreement6. on7. which8. consists9. used10. to keep
解析: ①考查现在分词。句意:在张泽端的流行画作《清明上河图》中,有一个餐馆服务员刚从店里出来,左手拿着"待售盒",右手拿着餐具,仍然穿着围裙,似乎要把食物送到某个地方。本句为there be结构,设空及后面部分在句子中作方式或伴随状语,wear与其逻辑主语a restaurant boy之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式,故填wearing.
②考查被动语态。句意:这一形象被认为是最初的外卖小哥的反映。本句陈述一般性事实,That image是单数名词,与动词believe之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,故填is believed。
③考查冠词。句意:派一个家庭佣人去餐馆点餐。order这里指"点餐;订单",是可数名词,且是以元音音素开头的单词,前面需加不定冠问an表泛指,故填an。
④考查副词。句意:当食物准备好后,会有人专门把食物送到顾客家里,然后拿到报酬。设空处修饰动词delivers,应用副词particularly作状语,表示"专门地",故填particularly。
⑤考查名词。句意:与餐厅签订长期协议。设空前有a long-term修饰,应用单数名词agreement作sign的宾语,表示"协定;协议",故填agreement。
⑥考查介词。句意:商店在约定的每一天都会把食物包装好,送到顾客家里。表示在具体的某一天应用介词on,故填on。
⑦考查定语从句。句意:餐馆的小贩挨家挨户地出售食物,尤其是在剧院等娱乐场所,那里挤满了很多人。设空处需要一个连接词引导非限制性定语从句,连接词指代先行词the entertainment places在句子中作主语,应用关系代词which引导,故填which。
⑧考查主谓一致。句意:待售盒,又称温盘,是由两层瓷器组成。本句陈述一般性事实应用一般现在时,主语The to-go box是单数名词,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式,consist of"由……组成",固定短语,不可用于被动语态,故填consists。
⑨考查过去分词。句意:使用时,热水被注入盘子的夹层以保持盘子的温度。when引导的时间状语从句中省略了主语及be动词,主语hot water-与use之间为被动语态,应用过去分词形式,故填used。
⑩考查动词不定式。句意:使用时,热水被注入盘子的夹层以保持盘子的温度。分析句子可知,此处表目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语,故填to keep。

22、答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的“The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3. 3 million and 1. 5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting.(然而,从一些已知最早的遗址中收集到的类似的古代石器显示出用于切割任务的证据。例如,在奥尔德万,一个可以追溯到大约330万到150万年前的遗址。研究人员分析了这些工具的使用磨损模式,发现一些薄片的边缘有损伤,表明它们曾被用来切割。)”可推断,作者提到奥尔德万遗址是为了提供具体的证据来说明古代石器用于切割任务。故选B。
23、答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies. (尽管有了这些发现,为了揭示薄片技术出现的机制,研究人员仍然需要了解人类是如何从偶然产生尖锐的薄片到捡起并使用它们的。Luncz和Proffitt希望在进一步的研究中找到缺失的环节。)”可知,为了揭示薄片技术背后的机制,研究者们仍然需要了解古人类是如何从意外产生锋利的薄片,到捡起并使用它们的。伦茨和普罗菲特希望在接下来的研究中可以找到缺失的这一环(即原始人是如何开始使用薄片的),故选C。
24、答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本篇是一篇科研报告类文章,第一段的“In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct early human relatives“ first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.( 在周五发表在《科学进展》上的一项新研究中,德国莱比锡马克斯普朗克进化人类学研究所的Lydia Luncz和Tomos Proffitt认为,错误地制造出的薄片可能是我们的古代祖先或其他现已灭绝的早期人类亲戚制造出锋利的工具的第一步,他们用来屠宰动物和切割可食用的植物。)”点明了新研究的结果,后文详细描述了研究过程和局限性及等未来研究前景,因此推断A项“薄片技术:从猕猴到人类。”为最佳标题。故选A项。
25、答案:B

Simply put, their happy marriages seemed to have a protective effect.(但研究人员发现,那些处于更令人满意的关系中的人在一定程度上缓解了情绪的起伏—他们的幸福感在经历更多痛苦的日子里并没有下降那么多。简单地说,他们幸福的婚姻似乎起到了保护作用。)”可知通过具体的例子,使读者可以更加直观地理解这个研究结果,并且更容易接受这个结论的可信度。即为了支持令人满意的关系对人们生活的积极影响。故选D。
28、答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由第五段“... although most of us found that our experience of relationships might be hard, and at times, impossible, it is essential to our well-being(虽然我们大多数人发现我们的人际关系经历可能很难,有时甚至是不可能的,但它对我们的幸福至关重要)”可知,Elizabeth Gillespie 认为 experience of relationships(关系体验)即拥有好的社交关系对幸福至关重要。故此选 A。

②考查虚拟语气。句意:在这些学校里按要求每周至少一节足球课,这样就可以鼓励学生积极参与足球训练和比赛。分析句子可知,此处It是形式主语,真正的主语是that后的从句,在表示“要求”的require一词后,名词性从句中谓语要用虚拟语气,表达为“should+动词原形”, should可以省略,而从句中主语football class与动词offer之间是被动关系,要用被动语态(be done)。故填be offered。

⑥考查冠词。句意:除了在学校采取这些措施外,还建立了47个足球训练营,努力在青年人中推广这项运动。effort是可数名词,此处是泛指概念,因以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an限定,in an effort“努力”是固定短语。故填an。
⑦考查形容词。句意:而优秀的或有天赋的选手也将有机会参加校际队伍进入地区比赛甚至国家夏令营。分析句意可知,空格与or连接的outstanding并列,要用与其含义相近的形容词gifted “有天赋的”作定语修饰名词players。故填gifted。
⑧考查名词复数。句意:句意:而优秀的或有天赋的选手也将有机会参加校际队伍进入地区比赛甚至国家夏令营。根据空格前的介词for以及形容词 regional可知,此处应用可数名词competition作介词宾语,可数名词零冠词复数形式表泛指,故用其复数形式。故填competitions。
⑨考查定语从句。句意:在过去四年里,各地教育部门已经培养了约40000名足球老师,其中8000名已获得教练资格。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,关系代词whom指代先行词football teachers(指人),并在从句中作介词of的宾语。故填whom。
⑩考查动词时态。句意:此外,中国自成立教育、体育、财政等部门和中国足协等七部门联合工作组以来,加大了在学校推广足球的力度。根据时间状语从句since it set up a seven-department joint task force可知,谓语动词应用现在完成时(have/has done),主语 the country是第三人称单数,主谓一致。故填has stepped。
