A
If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments. And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL) (世界遗产名录). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let’s look at a few of them.
Robben Island in South Africa
This island was used through the centuries a s a prison, a hospital and a military base. But it’s probably most famous as a maximum-security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents “the victory of democracy (民主) and freedom over oppression (压迫) and racism (种族主义).”
Borders of France and Spain
This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farm. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but that has almost complete disappeared in modern times.
The city of Brasilia, Brazil
Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a landmark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect.
Simien National Park, Ethiopia
Simien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978. It is one of the highest mountainous areas in Africa and the WHL calls it “one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world”. It is also important for its wildlife. The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.
1. Which of the following sites was listed on the WHL for its political symbol
A. Simien National Park, Ethiopia. B. Robben Island in South Africa.
C. Borders of France and Spain. D. The city of Brasilia, Brazil.
2. Which of the following sites is famous for the wonderful plan of buildings
A. Robben Island in South Africa. B. Borders of France and Spain.
C. The city of Brasilia, Brazil. D. Simien National Park, Ethiopia.
3. The passage mainly talks about ________.
A. the remains of ancient cultures on the WHL
B. the household heritage sites on the WHL
C. important places of art and culture
D. some of the less well-known sites on the WHL
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四处世界遗产名录上不太出名的地点，以及这些地点的特点。

Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of her country’s problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip waters drop off their empty bags from Doritos. Lays. and other favorites at two locations in Detroit:a print shop and a clothing store. where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding (衬垫) and liners (衬里) from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof lightweight and easy to carry around”. Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life —and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,”she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of rescuing bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental problem and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told , “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”
4. What did Oleita ask the snack lovers to do with their empty chip bags
A. To turn them into sleeping bags. B. To give them away to her.
C. To throw them into the trash. D. To donate them to the homeless directly.
5. What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project
A. Its size is adjustable. B. It is only made of old coats.
C. It has the function of heating D. It is portable.
6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. The aim of the project is more than social issues.
B. Poverty results from environmental problems.
C. Oleita’s project made 110 sleeping bags per month.
D. Oleita started the project mainly to raise money.
7. Which words can best describe Oleita
A. Hardworking and loyal. B. Talented and social.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Selfless and modest.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】

But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life —and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says. (自2020年启动以来，薯片袋项目已经收集了80多万个薯片袋，截至去年12月，已经制作了110个睡袋。当然，筹钱买新睡袋会更简单。但对Oleita和她的志愿者同伴们来说，这只是他们目标的一半。Oleita一家十年前从尼日利亚搬到美国，希望过上更好的生活。她说：“我们致力于不仅在社会上产生影响，而且致力于在环境上产生影响。”)”可知，Oleita希望the Chip Bag Project不仅在社会上，而且在环境上产生影响，因此，该项目的目的不仅仅是解决社会问题。故选A项。

“Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World” by Cal Newport is an exploration of the challenges posed by our modern, digitally-driven environment and the strategies one can employ to achieve focused success. Newport researches the concept of deep work, emphasizing its critical role in an era marked by constant distractions.
The book addresses the common issue of information overload and the impact of shallow tasks on productivity. Newport argues that the ability to engage in deep, concentrated work is essential for success. The author supports his claims with research, including experiments comparing brain connectivity patterns during deep work and shallow tasks.
Newport’s work agrees with earlier studies, confirming that handwritten notes outperform (胜过) typed ones in academic performance. Beyond academia, Newport presents evidence of the cognitive (认知的) benefits of deep work.
The book provides practical strategies for integrating deep work into one’s professional life, advocating for routines and intentional changing of the brain to resist distractions. Newport introduces concepts like productive meditation (冥想) and the craftsman approach to tool selection, offering readers actionable advice to enhance their focus and productivity.
“Deep Work” has won widespread praise for its insights into productivity in a distracted world. Many praise Newport’s thorough research, combining neuroscience with practical advice. Readers appreciate the real-world examples, from Carl Jung’s focused mindset to a social media pioneer’s distraction-free writing journey.
In conclusion, “Deep Work” stands as a valuable guide for navigating the challenges of the digital age. Newport’s exploration of deep work as a catalyst (催化剂) for success, supported by research and concrete strategies, has left a lasting impact on how individuals approach their professional and personal lives. It serves as a timely reminder to prioritize focus and concentration in an era defined by constant connectivity and distractions.

Not all birds sing but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot. All over the world, as soon as light filters over the horizon, songbirds start singing. They sing to defend their territory and to impress potential mates.
“Why birds sing is relatively well-answered,” says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much “For some reason,” Adam says, birds have “a crazy drive to sing.” This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. Plus, singing can be dangerous.
“As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is —all of that immediately is out in the open for predators, for everybody.”
In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They suggest that songbirds may not have much choice. They may have to sing a lot every day to give their vocal muscles the regular exercise they need to produce top-quality song.
These findings could be related to human voices too. “If you apply the bird results to the humans,” says Adam, “anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience a loss in vocal performance.”
To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed a series of experiments on zebra finches —little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks.
Through these experiments. Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad.”
This may help explain songbirds’ constant singing. It’s a kind of daily vocal practice to keep their instruments in tip-top shape. It’s a good rule to live by, whether you’re a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one’s heart out.
12. What does Iris Adam try to figure out
A. Why all the birds don’t sing. B. Why songbirds sing so well.
C. Why songbirds sing so much. D. Why birds have vocal muscles.
13. What do the underlined words “that risk” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Defending territory. B. Impressing partners. C. Singing all to death. D. Threatening lives.
14. Which of the following agrees with Adam’s experiment conclusion
A. Regular singing helps to exercise songbirds’ vocal muscles.
B. Songbirds have to sing their heart out to win their partners.
C. Zebra finches are born to have excellent vocal instruments.
D. Good vocal muscles are more attractive to female songbirds.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A New Study of Songbirds B. The Way That Songbirds Sing
C. Practice Makes a Perfect Song D. The Reason Why Birds Sing Much
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了神经学家艾瑞斯·亚当对于为什么鸟唱得这么多歌的研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much (对她来说，最大的问题是：为什么鸟唱得这么多歌？)”可知，爱瑞丝·亚当想弄明白为什么鸟唱得这么多歌。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. Plus, singing can be dangerous.(对一些物种来说，这意味着每天需要几个小时，这需要大量的能量。另外，唱歌可能很危险)”和第三段““As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is —all of that immediately is out in the open for predators, for everybody.”(她说:“只要你一唱歌，你就暴露了自己。比如，你在哪里，你甚至存在，你的领土在哪里——所有这些都立即暴露在捕食者面前，对所有鸟类来说。”)”可知，鸣禽每天长时间的歌唱不仅会耗掉它们大量的能量，而且还可能因歌唱暴露自己而带来不确定的生命风险。故划线词意思是“威胁生命”。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Through these experiments. Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad.”(通过这些实验。亚当的结论是：“鸣禽需要锻炼发声肌肉，才能唱出最好的歌曲。如果他们不唱歌，他们就会失去表演能力，他们的声音对雌性的吸引力就会降低——这很糟糕。”)”可知，经常唱歌有助于锻炼鸣禽的发声肌肉。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much (对她来说，最大的问题是：为什么鸟唱得这么多歌？)”结合本文通过实验来解释鸣为什么会不厌其烦地歌唱。故D选项“鸟儿唱歌的原因”最符合文章标题。故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Don’t Be A Bystander
None of us like to think we’d walk on by when someone needed our help. ____16____
One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. ____17____The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.
There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene (called “diffusion of responsibility”). ____18____It is also partly down to “pluralistic ignorance” — since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don’t need to either; it’s not serious because no one else is doing anything. After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often horrified that they didn’t do anything. ____19____
The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self-awareness is the best antidote to it. ____20____Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your gut—if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action The worst that can happen is you’ll look a little foolish at having overreacted. You might also save someone’s life.
A. Yet this can sometimes mean that no one helps when, in fact, someone desperately needs it.
B. But sometimes we behave in ways we wouldn’t expect when confronted with a situation we are unsure about.
C. They can’t believe they had not realized it was more serious or that they didn’t think to get involved.
D. When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own.
E. Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene.
F. A third of people would not perform CPR if they saw someone collapse on the street, with some even admitting they wouldn’t call an ambulance.
G. This has been termed the “bystander effect” — a well-known psychological phenomenon whereby individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是“旁观者效应”以及这种现象带来的影响。
【16题详解】
根据上文“None of us like to think we’d walk on by when someone needed our help.(当有人需要我们的帮助时，我们都不愿意袖手旁观)”以及后文“One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene.(最著名的例子之一是1964年在纽约邱园被刺伤致死的基蒂·吉诺维斯的悲剧。随后的调查得出结论，有几个人看到或听到了发生的事情，但没有采取任何干预措施)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出真正有人需要帮助的时候也许情况会有所不同。故B选项“但是有时候当我们面对不确定的情况时，我们的行为会出乎我们的预料”符合语境，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene.(最著名的例子之一是1964年在纽约邱园被刺伤致死的基蒂·吉诺维斯的悲剧。随后的调查得出结论，有几个人看到或听到了发生的事情，但没有采取任何干预措施)”可知，本句承接上文，总结上文这一事例所体现出的现象。故G选项“这被称为‘旁观者效应’——一种众所周知的心理现象，当其他人在场时，个人不太可能提供帮助”符合语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene (called “diffusion of responsibility”).(造成这种影响的因素有很多——人们认为其他人会介入或干预（称为“责任分散”）)”可知，上文提到了“责任分散”因素导致没有人们没有介入，可知本句承接上文，继续说明人们没有介入的原因。故E选项“事后人们常常说，他们觉得自己不够资格、资历不够高、地位不够重要，无法出面干预”符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据上文“After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often horrified that they didn’t do anything.(在发生严重事件后，人们会受到旁观者效应的影响，他们常常会为自己什么都没做而感到震惊)”可知，上文提到了人们在发生严重事件后，他们常常会为自己什么都没做而感到震惊，本句为本段最后一句，继续说明人们感到震惊的原因。C选项中They对应上文people。故C选项“他们不相信自己没有意识到事情的严重性，也不相信自己没有想过要介入”符合语境，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your gut—if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action The worst that can happen is you’ll look a little foolish at having overreacted. You might also save someone’s life.(不要理会其他人和他们的行为，跟着自己的感觉走——如果你想叫救护车，那就叫吧。如果你想找人帮忙，那就去吧。如果这是你独自一人时的表现，那么这可能是正确的做法。最坏的情况是，你会因为反应过度而显得有点愚蠢。你也可能救了别人的命)”可知，后文主要反思了遇到紧急情况应该怎么做。故D选项“当遇到紧急情况时，想想如果只有你一个人，你会怎么做”符合语境，故选D。
二、完形填空 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
As I waited for my university lecture to start, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Looking up, I found a young woman smiling at me, ____21____ a notebook. I knew immediately who she was. The week before we had ____22____ emails, and I’d told her I would be sitting in the front ____23____. I always sat at the front and the reason was that I’m deaf and needed to lip-read the ____24____. “I’m Rosie,” the young woman said. She was the first person I’d ever met who was my ____25____ and wore hearing aids. At my school, I was the only person who wore hearing aids. So I was ____26____ and fascinated to see Rosie wearing them. She tied her hair back, and didn’t try to ____27____ them like I did.
After the lecture, Rosie and I carried on talking. She always remembered to look at me when we talked. I didn’t have to worry that she’d ____28____, and I’d miss a joke or remark. There was an instinctive awareness between us about making communication clear and ____29____. I’d grown up thinking that deafness was some kind of ____30____, but here was Rosie, who was clever, wise, full of fun and deaf. What was the big deal
I felt like a window had opened on my own experience as a deaf person. Partly it was the joy of being able to talk ____31____. We discussed noisy social events, or group conversations, where we felt on the fringes. The ____32____ that I wasn’t the only deaf student at the university made the experience feel less lonely.
We continued to share notes on being deaf. Learning to advocate for myself as a deaf person in the professional world was ____33____. But Rosie was more enlightened, and she was a fierce advocate.

96. 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。
The school I went to had a tradition carried out every year during the eighth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket (the school colors)was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years.
I was fourteen and in the eighth grade. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My family was so poor that, when I was six, I was given to my grandparents to raise. I couldn’t participate in sports at school because we couldn’t afford the fees; even though I was quite athletic, there would never be a school sports jacket for me. So, this one, the scholarship jacket, was my only chance.
One day in May, close to graduation, outside the history teacher’s classroom, I heard a fierce argument between the principal and my history teacher, Mr. Frank, about giving the scholarship jacket to Joann, whose father is on the Board and owns the only store in town. Frank angrily claimed that he would never lie or falsify(伪造) records.
The principal approached me tentatively: “Martha, there’s been a change in policy this year. The Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the scholarship jacket this year. So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars for the jacket it will be given to the next one in line. Staring at him in shock, I didn’t need to ask who that was.
”I’ll speak to my grandfather and let you know tomorrow, I gathered all the dignity. I cried on the walk home from the bus stop. I wanted that jacket so much. It represented eight years of hard work and expectation.

【答案】范文一
Upon arriving home, I told my grandpa what had happened. A look of anxiety flashed across his face, his eyebrows knitted into a deep frown. I could see him struggling with the decision, knowing how much the jacket meant to me but also aware of our financial limitations. After a long silence, he said in a firm voice, “Martha, it’s not just a jacket; it’s a symbol of your hard work.” He reached into an old tin can he kept hidden under his bed, pulling out a few crumpled bills and some coins.” Take this,“ he placed the money in my hand.”You deserve that jacket more than anyone.“
The next day, the principal called me to his office. As I entered, I noticed his expression, a mixture of guilt and embarrassment. “Martha,” he began, “I need to apologize.” He paused, looking down at his desk before continuing,” Your history teacher, Mr. Frank, made a convincing argument about the unfairness of the situation. The Board agreed; the jacket should be awarded based on one’s academic performance, not on one’s ability to pay. “Relief and joy washed over me. My hard work hadn’t been in vain, and my grandfather’s sacrifice wasn’t needed. The scholarship jacket was truly mine, a symbol of my perseverance and the unyielding support of my family.
范文二
Upon arriving home, I told my grandpa what had happened. He cleared his throat and asked seriously,” What does a scholarship jacket mean ” I told him the symbolic value of the jacket and emphasized how much it meant to me, almost with a begging tone. However, Grandpa wasn’t sold and instead replied with a firm no. “Then if you pay for it, Martha, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it Tell your principal I will not pay the fifteen dollars.” Disappointed and frustrated, I rushed to my bedroom and locked myself sobbing for a long time.
The next day, the principal called me to his office. I told him Grandfather was not willing to pay, “He said if I had to pay for it, it wouldn’t be a scholarship jacket. I guess you’ll just have to give it to Joann.” I could feel my heart pounding wildly and something bitter coming up in my mouth. He sighed loudly and watched me, biting his lip. “Okay. We’ll make an exception in your case. I’ll tell the Board; you’ll get your jacket. “I could hardly believe my ears.” Thank you, sir! “I dashed back home to tell Grandpa the good news. He somehow didn’t seem much surprised; he just gave me a pat on the shoulder and a smile,” Now that’s a worthy scholarship jacket.”

If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments. And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL) (世界遗产名录). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let’s look at a few of them.
Robben Island in South Africa
This island was used through the centuries a s a prison, a hospital and a military base. But it’s probably most famous as a maximum-security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents “the victory of democracy (民主) and freedom over oppression (压迫) and racism (种族主义).”
Borders of France and Spain
This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farm. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but that has almost complete disappeared in modern times.
The city of Brasilia, Brazil
Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956 The WHL calls it “a landmark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect.
Simien National Park, Ethiopia
Simien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978. It is one of the highest mountainous areas in Africa, and the WHL calls it “one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world”. It is also important for its wildlife. The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.
1. Which of the following sites was listed on the WHL for its political symbol
A. Simien National Park, Ethiopia. B. Robben Island in South Africa.
C. Borders of France and Spain. D. The city of Brasilia, Brazil.
2. Which of the following sites is famous for the wonderful plan of buildings

Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of her country’s problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip waters drop off their empty bags from Doritos. Lays. and other favorites at two locations in Detroit:a print shop and a clothing store. where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding (衬垫) and liners (衬里) from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof lightweight and easy to carry around”. Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life —and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,”she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of rescuing bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental problem and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told , “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”
4. What did Oleita ask the snack lovers to do with their empty chip bags
A. To turn them into sleeping bags. B. To give them away to her.
C. To throw them into the trash. D. To donate them to the homeless directly.
5. What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project
A. Its size is adjustable. B. It is only made of old coats.
C. It has the function of heating D. It is portable.
6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. The aim of the project is more than social issues.
B. Poverty results from environmental problems.
C. Oleita’s project made 110 sleeping bags per month.
D. Oleita started the project mainly to raise money.
7. Which words can best describe Oleita
A. Hardworking and loyal. B. Talented and social.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Selfless and modest.

“Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World” by Cal Newport is an exploration of the challenges posed by our modern, digitally-driven environment and the strategies one can employ to achieve focused success. Newport researches the concept of deep work, emphasizing its critical role in an era marked by constant distractions.
The book addresses the common issue of information overload and the impact of shallow tasks on productivity. Newport argues that the ability to engage in deep, concentrated work is essential for success. The author supports his claims with research, including experiments comparing brain connectivity patterns during deep work and shallow tasks.
Newport’s work agrees with earlier studies, confirming that handwritten notes outperform (胜过) typed ones in academic performance. Beyond academia, Newport presents evidence of the cognitive (认知的) benefits of deep work.
The book provides practical strategies for integrating deep work into one’s professional life, advocating for routines and intentional changing of the brain to resist distractions. Newport introduces concepts like productive meditation (冥想) and the craftsman approach to tool selection, offering readers actionable advice to enhance their focus and productivity.
“Deep Work” has won widespread praise for its insights into productivity in a distracted world. Many praise Newport’s thorough research, combining neuroscience with practical advice. Readers appreciate the real-world examples, from Carl Jung’s focused mindset to a social media pioneer’s distraction-free writing journey.
In conclusion, “Deep Work” stands as a valuable guide for navigating the challenges of the digital age. Newport’s exploration of deep work as a catalyst (催化剂) for success, supported by research and concrete strategies, has left a lasting impact on how individuals approach their professional and personal lives.

Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot. All over the world, as soon as light filters over the horizon, songbirds start singing. They sing to defend their territory and to impress potential mates.
“Why birds sing is relatively well-answered,” says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much “For some reason,” Adam says, birds have “a crazy drive to sing.” This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. Plus, singing can be dangerous.
“As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is —all of that immediately is out in the open for predators, for everybody.”
In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They suggest that songbirds may not have much choice. They may have to sing a lot every day to give their vocal muscles the regular exercise they need to produce top-quality song.
These findings could be related to human voices too. “If you apply the bird results to the humans,” says Adam, “anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience a loss in vocal performance.”
To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed a series of experiments on zebra finches —little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks.
Through these experiments. Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad.”
This may help explain songbirds’ constant singing. It’s a kind of daily vocal practice to keep their instruments in tip-top shape. It’s a good rule to live by, whether you’re a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one’s heart out.
12. What does Iris Adam try to figure out
A. Why all the birds don’t sing. B. Why songbirds sing so well.
C. Why songbirds sing so much. D. Why birds have vocal muscles.
13. What do the underlined words “that risk” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Defending territory. B. Impressing partners. C. Singing all to death. D. Threatening lives.
14. Which of the following agrees with Adam’s experiment conclusion
A. Regular singing helps to exercise songbirds’ vocal muscles.
B. Songbirds have to sing their heart out to win their partners.
C. Zebra finches are born to have excellent vocal instruments.
D. Good vocal muscles are more attractive to female songbirds.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. A New Study of Songbirds B. The Way That Songbirds Sing
C. Practice Makes a Perfect Song D. The Reason Why Birds Sing Much

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Don’t Be A Bystander
None of us like to think we’d walk on by when someone needed our help. ____16____
One of the most famous examples of this is the tragic case of Kitty Genovese who was fatally stabbed in Kew Gardens, New York, in 1964. Subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. ____17____The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.
There are various factors contributing to this effect — people think that others will get involved or intervene (called “diffusion of responsibility”). ____18____It is also partly down to “pluralistic ignorance” — since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don’t need to either; it’s not serious because no one else is doing anything. After a serious incident where people have been affected by the bystander effect, they are often horrified that they didn’t do anything. ____19____
The important thing to understand though is that other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self-awareness is the best antidote to it. ____20____Ignore everyone else and how they are behaving and go with your gut—if you’d call an ambulance, do it. If you’d run for help, do it. If that’s how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that’s probably the right course of action The worst that can happen is you’ll look a little foolish at having overreacted. You might also save someone’s life.
A. Yet this can sometimes mean that no one helps when, in fact, someone desperately needs it.
B. But sometimes we behave in ways we wouldn’t expect when confronted with a situation we are unsure about.
C. They can’t believe they had not realized it was more serious or that they didn’t think to get involved.
D. When confronted with an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own.
E. Afterwards people often say they did not feel qualified or senior or important enough to be the one to intervene.
F. A third of people would not perform CPR if they saw someone collapse on the street, with some even admitting they wouldn’t call an ambulance.
G. This has been termed the “bystander effect” — a well-known psychological phenomenon whereby individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present.

As I waited for my university lecture to start, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Looking up, I found a young woman smiling at me, ____21____ a notebook. I knew immediately who she was. The week before we had ____22____ emails, and I’d told her I would be sitting in the front ____23____. I always sat at the front and the reason was that I’m deaf and needed to lip-read the ____24____. “I’m Rosie,” the young woman said. She was the first person I’d ever met who was my ____25____ and wore hearing aids. At my school, I was the only person who wore hearing aids. So I was ____26____ and fascinated to see Rosie wearing them. She tied her hair back, and didn’t try to ____27____ them like I did.
After the lecture, Rosie and I carried on talking. She always remembered to look at me when we talked. I didn’t have to worry that she’d ____28____, and I’d miss a joke or remark. There was an instinctive awareness between us about making communication clear and ____29____. I’d grown up thinking that deafness was some kind of ____30____, but here was Rosie, who was clever, wise, full of fun and deaf. What was the big deal
I felt like a window had opened on my own experience as a deaf person. Partly it was the joy of being able to talk ____31____. We discussed noisy social events, or group conversations, where we felt on the fringes. The ____32____ that I wasn’t the only deaf student at the university made the experience feel less lonely.
We continued to share notes on being deaf. Learning to advocate for myself as a deaf person in the professional world was ____33____. But Rosie was more enlightened, and she was a fierce advocate. She held up a ____34____ to my own experience, but also set an example for me, offering an alternative ____35____. Our friendship has become an essential part of who I am as well.

The school I went to had a tradition carried out every year during the eighth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket (the school colors)was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years.
I was fourteen and in the eighth grade. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My family was so poor that, when I was six, I was given to my grandparents to raise. I couldn’t participate in sports at school because we couldn’t afford the fees; even though I was quite athletic, there would never be a school sports jacket for me. So, this one, the scholarship jacket, was my only chance.
One day in May, close to graduation, outside the history teacher’s classroom, I heard a fierce argument between the principal and my history teacher, Mr. Frank, about giving the scholarship jacket to Joann, whose father is on the Board and owns the only store in town. Frank angrily claimed that he would never lie or falsify(伪造) records.
The principal approached me tentatively: “Martha, there’s been a change in policy this year. The Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the scholarship jacket this year. So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars for the jacket it will be given to the next one in line. Staring at him in shock, I didn’t need to ask who that was.
”I’ll speak to my grandfather and let you know tomorrow, I gathered all the dignity. I cried on the walk home from the bus stop. I wanted that jacket so much. It represented eight years of hard work and expectation.
