【答案】17 C 18. B 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】It’s good to see people live longer lives. But how we can help people who live longer live better has been a big challenge. Now, a number of businesses are offering services specifically designed for the elderly. One of them is True Call. True Call is a UK telephone communication service that can block unwanted telephone calls. Businessman Robert Smith has set the system in his mother’s home, since a group of people had stolen her life savings through phone calls a few months earlier.
Another one called Red & Yellow Care is a health care service. According to the director Mike Hart, their staff is trained to be able to explain their service in a simple and clear way, and unafraid of repeating the information. All the training is to provide safer and friendlier service for the elderly.
Then there is Safeway, a supermarket chain. One of the staff, Martin Bateman says that he and his co-workers now ask older customers more frequently if they need help at the checkouts. These customers may not know what to do with the self-checkout machines. All in all, the elderly are gaining increasing attention from the society. They’ll be living longer and better.

In 2019, Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider, had an unpleasant experience due to the wrong address left by a customer. Wang searched three buildings and climbed 18 floors before he finally managed to deliver the food to the customer, who rudely scolded Wang for arriving late. Wang was sad and frustrated. As a husband and father of three children, who shouldered the majority of the financial responsibility in his family, he had to bear all silently. On his way home that day, Wang wrote a poem, Man in a Hurry, expressing his feelings.
Since then, Wang has been writing poems inspired by his daily life, including a poem New Temple, which occurred to him after he delivered food to construction workers repairing an old temple, and Forgive, based on his observation of a young couple fighting.

His heart is healed by writing the poems, and he has shared them with his friends. In 2022, one of his friends posted Man in a Hurry online. It quickly went viral and was viewed for over 20 million times. The same year, Wang published a collection of more than 180 poems, under the same title. So far, Wang has written about 4,000 poems. This April, Wang published his second poetry collection, titled I Love This World Clumsily, featuring about 130 poems he has written since July 2022.
“Poetry is like a distraction from stress and an opportunity to record my life. Whether it’s coping with pain, dealing with stressful situations, or coming to terms with life’s struggles, poetry makes me confident and happy,” says Wang.
“The feedback from the readers is a big encouragement to me. Those poems carne to me naturally and I enjoyed writing them very much. However, the priority is to look after my family, so I will keep my regular job delivering food,” says Wang.

Dreaming appears to have little connection to work. However, new research shows that when dreams are first recalled, people often draw connections between their dreams and waking lives, and the connections they draw alter how they think, feel and act at work.
The team performed the studies that collectively captured approximately 5,000 morning reports of dream recall among full-time employees. The researchers issued morning field study, a single-day morning-to-afternoon study, and a twoweek experience sampling study.
“An awe-inspiring dream is highly impactful and memorable, often involving extraordinary experiences or interactions. For example, we arrive at work shortly after interacting with deceased (逝去的) loved ones, narrowly escaping or performing arts of immeasurable ability,” Belinda, the chief of the study, said. “Regardless of our personal beliefs about dreams, these experiences bleed into and affect our waking lives, including how productive we are at work.”
Say you recall an awe-inspiring dream in the morning, and, then later in the afternoon, your boss tells you to conduct 10 more interviews than you were expecting to do. You might now think that it’s not that big a deal because your awe-inspiring dream just put everything into perspective. You have a greater realization that there’s a bigger world out there and you’re just part of it or that you’re connected to everything.
“So, get a good night’s sleep for waking wonder!” Belinda added. Studies show that dreams occur in all stages of sleep and are impactful regardless of sleep habits. However, the most vivid dreams — those most likely to have meaning and create waking wander — occur during REM sleep. Because REM sleep takes place late in a given sleep cycle, getting sufficient, high-quality sleep will help you get the most out of your dreams. Sleep tracking devices can indicate when and how much time you spend in REM sleep, which help improve sleep schedules to increase the chance of having awe-inspiring dreams. For both managers and employees, how much or how well people slept really means a lot, which can increase productivity at work.
28. What is paragraph 2 intended to explain
A. Why a dream is recorded. B. How the study is conducted.
C. What the study revealed. D. Who joined in the research.
29. Which is an awe-inspiring dream according to paragraphs 3 and 4
A. Failing a tough test. B. Meeting with strangers.
C. Being stuck in a traffic accident. D. Saving people like a superman.
30. What does Belinda recommend in the last paragraph
A. Productive sleep. B. Sleep-tracking study.
C. Good REM sleep. D. Healthy living habits.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Dreams impact all sleep stages.
B. Dreams can be channeled for productivity.
C. Dreams contribute to one’s mental health.
D. Dreams are attracting greater attention worldwide.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了梦境对工作的影响。研究表明，当人们回忆起梦境时，会将其与清醒时的生活联系起来，而这些联系会影响他们在工作中的思考、感受和行为方式。因此，获得充足、高质量的睡眠有助于人们更好地利用梦境，从而提高工作效率。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The team performed the studies that collectively captured approximately 5,000 morning reports of dream recall among full-time employees. The researchers issued morning field study, a single-day morning-to-afternoon study, and a twoweek experience sampling study.(该团队进行的研究共收集了大约5000份全职员工的早晨梦境回忆报告。研究人员发布了上午的实地研究，一天的上午到下午的研究，以及为期两周的经验抽样研究)”可知，第二段主要解释了研究是如何进行。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“An awe-inspiring dream is highly impactful and memorable, often involving extraordinary experiences or interactions. For example, we arrive at work shortly after interacting with deceased (逝去的) loved ones, narrowly escaping or performing arts of immeasurable ability(一个令人敬畏的梦是极具影响力和令人难忘的，通常涉及非凡的经历或互动。例如，我们在与已故的亲人交流后不久到达工作场所、侥幸逃脱灾难或表演不可估量的艺术)”可推知，令人敬畏的梦常常是非凡的经历或互动。结合选项，“像超人一样救人”并不是日常生活的可能出现的场景，展示了非凡的经历。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Belinda的话“So, get a good night’s sleep for waking wonder!(所以，好好睡一觉吧!)”和“For both managers and employees, how much or how well people slept really means a lot, which can increase productivity at work.(对于管理者和员工来说，人们睡得多少或睡得好真的很重要，这可以提高工作效率)”可知，Belinda推荐富有成效的睡眠。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Dreaming appears to have litle connection to work. However, new research shows that when dreams are first recalled, people often draw connections between their dreams and waking lives, and the connections they draw alter how they think, feel and act at work.(做梦似乎和工作没有什么关系。然而，新的研究表明，当人们第一次回忆起梦境时，往往会把梦境和现实生活联系起来，而这种联系会改变他们在工作中的思考、感受和行为)”和最后一段中“For both managers and employees, how much or how well people slept really means a lot, which can increase productivity at work.(对于管理者和员工来说，人们睡得多少或睡得好真的很重要，这可以提高工作效率)”可推知，文章用研究来说明当人们回忆起梦境时，会将其与清醒时的生活联系起来，而这些联系会影响他们在工作中的思考、感受和行为方式。因此，获得充足、高质量的睡眠有助于人们更好地利用梦境，从而提高工作效率。因此“梦可以用于提高工作效率”是文章主要内容。故选B项。

If you’re stuck in what seems like an endless cycle of procrastination (拖延), guilt and chaos, you might be wondering “Why am I so lazy ”. Despite that common belief, laziness usually isn’t the reason behind procrastination, said Jenny Yip, a clinical psychologist. “Laziness is like, ‘I have absolutely no desire to even think about this.’ Procrastination is, ‘It troubles me to think about this. And therefore, it’s hard for me to get the job done.’ That’s a big difference.”
Knowing why you procrastinate and learning how to fight against it are the only ways to change your behavior. Psychologist Sapadin sought to help this self-improvement effort with her book How to Beat Procrastination in the Digital Age. You could be the perfectionist, the dreamer, the worrier or the defier (对抗者) — these are all procrastination styles that Sapadin lists in her book. Both perfectionists and worriers might put off starting tasks due to a fear of failure or criticism. And like a perfectionist, a dreamer might always want something better. As for the defier, they tend to view life in terms of what others expect or require them to do, not what they want. This pessimism weakens their motivation to complete tasks.
Procrastination can have practical consequences, such as falling behind at work or failing to achieve personal goals. But there are also emotional or mental impacts. It has been associated with depression, anxiety and stress, poor sleep, inadequate physical activity, loneliness and economic difficulties, according to a January study of more than 3,500 college students.
Knowing why you procrastinate can make you self-aware, but you still need strategies to break the habit. In such cases, “consider contacting a professional, like a psychologist, who might be able to help you,” said Shatz, a creator of the website Solving Procrastination. “Visualization (可视化) works,” Shatz added. “If you can imagine Yourself completing a task, then it becomes more achievable simply because you have an idea that it can be done.” At the end of the day, how you approach life is “all about your belief system”. If you believe you can, you can. Whatever you believe, you’re right.
32. What does Jenny Yip mean according to paragraph 1
A. Procrastination keeps people in chaos.
B. Procrastination is not a result of laziness.
C Lazy people can’t help thinking about the job.
D. Lazy people are often stuck in procrastination.
33. Why is the defier one of the procrastination styles
A. They long for something better.
B. They have a fear of failure or criticism.
C. They prioritize others’ expectations.
D. They have a pessimistic outlook on life.
34. What does the author indicate by mentioning a January study
A. Procrastination has an impact on economics.
B. Procrastinstion is connected with mental problems.
C. College students have difficulties in achieving goals.
D. College students are generally affected by procrastination.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Procrastination can be resolved.
B. Procrastination is due to self-unawareness.
C. Knowing your procrastination relieves it.
D. Visualization is ineffective against procrastination.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了拖延实际上和懒惰是两种不同的概念，它有不同的类型，与心理问题相关，了解这些成因和相关策略才有可能解决拖延的问题。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite that common belief, laziness usually isn’t the reason behind procrastination, said Jenny Yip, a clinical psychologist. “Laziness is like, ‘I have absolutely no desire to even think about this.’ Procrastination is, ‘It troubles me to think about this. And therefore, it’s hard for me to get the job done.’ That’s a big difference.” (临床心理学家Jenny Yip说，尽管人们普遍这么认为，但懒惰通常不是拖延症背后的原因。“懒惰就像是，‘我根本不想去想这个问题。’拖延是，‘我一想到这个就烦恼。因此，我很难完成这项工作。’这是一个很大的区别。”)”可知，Jenny Yip认为懒惰和拖延是两个不同的概念，拖延不是懒惰的结果。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As for the defier, they tend to view life in terms of what others expect or require them to do, not what they want. This pessimism weakens their motivation to complete tasks. (至于反抗者，他们倾向于根据别人的期望或要求来看待生活，而不是他们想要什么。这种悲观情绪削弱了他们完成任务的动力)”可知，反抗者优先考虑别人的期望，完成任务的动力被削弱，导致了拖延。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But there are also emotional or mental impacts. It has been associated with depression, anxiety and stress, poor sleep, inadequate physical activity, loneliness and economic difficulties, according to a January study of more than 3,500 college students. (但也有情感或心理上的影响。今年1月对3500多名大学生进行的一项研究显示，这和抑郁、焦虑和压力、睡眠不佳、体育锻炼不足、孤独和经济困难有关)”可知，作者先提到拖延会有情感或心理上的影响，然后提到一月的这份研究发现，它与许多心理问题有联系。由此可知，作者提到该研究是想佐证拖延与心理问题有关。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Visualization (可视化) works,” Shatz added. “If you can imagine Yourself completing a task, then it becomes more achievable simply because you have an idea that it can be done.” (“可视化是有效的，”Shatz补充道。“如果你能想象自己完成一项任务，那么它就会变得更容易实现，因为你有一个可以完成的想法。”)”可知，作者通过Shatz的建议来说明，可视化等策略可以有效帮助解决拖延。由此推知，拖延实际上是可以解决的。故选A项。

It all started with a simple question: “Can I paint your portrait ”
In the summer of 2015, Peterson and his wife, Vanessa, had just moved to Santa Ana, California. Outside the couple’s fourth-floor apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner, sometimes keeping them awake at night. Peterson, 28. would pass the guy on his way to his job, but they never spoke . What could they possibly have in common
One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading a book, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation, Peterson learned the man’ s name was Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a care er in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade.
“It was the weirdest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown finger nails, probably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year. But his story, the life inside of him, inspired me.”And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes.
Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces In the Community(FIC), a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the portraits sign atured by both subject and artist for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds(收入) and putting half into what he calls a”love account”for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Of course, Faris was the first to benefit from FIC.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Seeing his portrait, the homeless man was moved to tears. He benefited a lot from it. He said to Peterson, “It was your help that kept me off the streets, and my heart is full of gratitude. I want to make good use of the money to start a business, and I want to do my best to help those who need help in the future, ”Peterson replied, “You are welcome. Actively helping people in need of help is my greatest joy” With these words, the two men hugged each other tightly.
Inspired by Peterson and Faris, many artists joined them.The artists say they will call on more people to help the homeless. Over time, more and more artists have joined FIC, and by helping more and more homeless people to expand the impact and attract more artists. As more and more people were helped, the organization became more and more popular and was honored by the government. As time went on, FIC sold more and more portraits and earned more and more income, which was widely recognized by the society.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Peterson认识流浪汉Faris后，他突发奇想成立了一个非盈利组织，专注于与社区无家可归的成员交朋友，并为他们画肖像，通过售卖肖像所得的钱帮助他们重新站起来的故事。

In 2019, Wang Jibing, a food delivery rider, had an unpleasant experience due to the wrong address left by a customer. Wang searched three buildings and climbed 18 floors before he finally managed to deliver the food to the customer, who rudely scolded Wang for arriving late. Wang was sad and frustrated. As a husband and father of three children, who shouldered the majority of the financial responsibility in his family, he had to bear all silently. On his way home that day, Wang wrote a poem, Man in a Hurry, expressing his feelings.
Since then, Wang has been writing poems inspired by his daily life, including a poem New Temple, which occurred to him after he delivered food to construction workers repairing an old temple, and Forgive, based on his observation of a young couple fighting.
Wang’s poems, simple yet real, are seen as a tool to process his emotions, especially the personal experiences he has during his work. His heart is healed by writing the poems, and he has shared them with his friends. In 2022, one of his friends posted Man in a Hurry online. It quickly went viral and was viewed for over 20 million times. The same year, Wang published a collection of more than 180 poems, under the same title. So far, Wang has written about 4,000 poems. This April, Wang published his second poetry collection, titled I Love This World Clumsily, featuring about 130 poems he has written since July 2022.
“Poetry is like a distraction from stress and an opportunity to record my life. Whether it’s coping with pain, dealing with stressful situations, or coming to terms with life’s struggles, poetry makes me confident and happy,” says Wang.
“The feedback from the readers is a big encouragement to me. Those poems carne to me naturally and I enjoyed writing them very much. However, the priority is to look after my family, so I will keep my regular job delivering food,” says Wang.
24. What can we know from paragraph 1
A. Wang was in a hurry for the bad weather.

C. Wang lost his job for an unpleasant experience.
D. Wang misunderstood the customer’s need.

Dreaming appears to have little connection to work. However, new research shows that when dreams are first recalled, people often draw connections between their dreams and waking lives, and the connections they draw alter how they think, feel and act at work.
The team performed the studies that collectively captured approximately 5,000 morning reports of dream recall among full-time employees. The researchers issued morning field study, a single-day morning-to-afternoon study, and a twoweek experience sampling study.
“An awe-inspiring dream is highly impactful and memorable, often involving extraordinary experiences or interactions. For example, we arrive at work shortly after interacting with deceased (逝去的) loved ones, narrowly escaping or performing arts of immeasurable ability,” Belinda, the chief of the study, said. “Regardless of our personal beliefs about dreams, these experiences bleed into and affect our waking lives, including how productive we are at work.”
Say you recall an awe-inspiring dream in the morning, and, then later in the afternoon, your boss tells you to conduct 10 more interviews than you were expecting to do. You might now think that it’s not that big a deal because your awe-inspiring dream just put everything into perspective. You have a greater realization that there’s a bigger world out there and you’re just part of it or that you’re connected to everything.
“So, get a good night’s sleep for waking wonder!” Belinda added. Studies show that dreams occur in all stages of sleep and are impactful regardless of sleep habits. However, the most vivid dreams — those most likely to have meaning and create waking wander — occur during REM sleep. Because REM sleep takes place late in a given sleep cycle, getting sufficient, high-quality sleep will help you get the most out of your dreams. Sleep tracking devices can indicate when and how much time you spend in REM sleep, which help improve sleep schedules to increase the chance of having awe-inspiring dreams. For both managers and employees, how much or how well people slept really means a lot, which can increase productivity at work.
28. What is paragraph 2 intended to explain
A. Why a dream is recorded. B. How the study is conducted.
C. What the study revealed. D. Who joined in the research.
29 Which is an awe-inspiring dream according to paragraphs 3 and 4
A. Failing a tough test. B. Meeting with strangers.
C. Being stuck in a traffic accident. D. Saving people like a superman.
30. What does Belinda recommend in the last paragraph
A. Productive sleep. B. Sleep-tracking study.
C. Good REM sleep. D. Healthy living habits.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Dreams impact all sleep stages.
B. Dreams can be channeled for productivity.
C. Dreams contribute to one’s mental health.
D. Dreams are attracting greater attention worldwide.
D
If you’re stuck in what seems like an endless cycle of procrastination (拖延), guilt and chaos, you might be wondering “Why am I so lazy ”. Despite that common belief, laziness usually isn’t the reason behind procrastination, said Jenny Yip, a clinical psychologist. “Laziness is like, ‘I have absolutely no desire to even think about this.’ Procrastination is, ‘It troubles me to think about this. And therefore, it’s hard for me to get the job done.’ That’s a big difference.”
Knowing why you procrastinate and learning how to fight against it are the only ways to change your behavior. Psychologist Sapadin sought to help this self-improvement effort with her book How to Beat Procrastination in the Digital Age. You could be the perfectionist, the dreamer, the worrier or the defier (对抗者) — these are all procrastination styles that Sapadin lists in her book. Both perfectionists and worriers might put off starting tasks due to a fear of failure or criticism. And like a perfectionist, a dreamer might always want something better. As for the defier, they tend to view life in terms of what others expect or require them to do, not what they want. This pessimism weakens their motivation to complete tasks.
Procrastination can have practical consequences, such as falling behind at work or failing to achieve personal goals. But there are also emotional or mental impacts. It has been associated with depression, anxiety and stress, poor sleep, inadequate physical activity, loneliness and economic difficulties, according to a January study of more than 3,500 college students.
Knowing why you procrastinate can make you self-aware, but you still need strategies to break the habit. In such cases, “consider contacting a professional, like a psychologist, who might be able to help you,” said Shatz, a creator of the website Solving Procrastination. “Visualization (可视化) works,” Shatz added. “If you can imagine Yourself completing a task, then it becomes more achievable simply because you have an idea that it can be done.” At the end of the day, how you approach life is “all about your belief system”. If you believe you can, you can. Whatever you believe, you’re right.
32. What does Jenny Yip mean according to paragraph 1
A. Procrastination keeps people in chaos.
B. Procrastination is not a result of laziness.
C. Lazy people can’t help thinking about the job.
D. Lazy people are often stuck in procrastination.
33. Why is the defier one of the procrastination styles
A. They long for something better.
B. They have a fear of failure or criticism.
C. They prioritize others’ expectations.
D. They have a pessimistic outlook on life.
34. What does the author indicate by mentioning a January study
A. Procrastination has an impact on economics.
B. Procrastinstion is connected with mental problems.
C. College students have difficulties in achieving goals.
D. College students are generally affected by procrastination.
35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Procrastination can be resolved.
B. Procrastination is due to self-unawareness.
C. Knowing your procrastination relieves it.
D. Visualization is ineffective against procrastination.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
It all started with a simple question: “Can I paint your portrait ”
In the summer of 2015, Peterson and his wife, Vanessa, had just moved to Santa Ana, California. Outside the couple’s fourth-floor apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner, sometimes keeping them awake at night. Peterson, 28. would pass the guy on his way to his job, but they never spoke . What could they possibly have in common
One day Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading a book, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation, Peterson learned the man’ s name was Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a care er in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade.
“It was the weirdest thing to me,” Peterson recalled later. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown finger nails, probably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year. But his story, the life inside of him, inspired me.”And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes.
Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces In the Community(FIC), a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the portraits sign atured by both subject and artist for a few thousand dollars, splitting the proceeds(收入) and putting half into what he calls a”love account”for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Of course, Faris was the first to benefit from FIC.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing his portrait, the homeless man was moved to tears.

Inspired by Peterson and Faris, many artists joined them.
