(23-24高二下·湖北·阶段练习)I have been a healthcare assistant with Marie Curie for four years. What led me to join this remarkable organization was a deeply personal experience.
Seven years ago, my father was in the hospital, and I was informed that he was in the end-of-life stage. He had wanted to be at home during his final moments, so I arranged for him to return home. He spent only one more night there, but he wasn’t alone. A Marie Curie nurse was by our side. Facing the emotions that come with knowing a loved one is at the end of their life can be heartbreaking. Having a nurse with us made it easier to deal with these feelings. That’s when I made the decision to join Marie Curie.
Working for the charity, I find myself on duty during most Christmases. We operate every single day, including holidays. You might assume that being with families during their last Christmas, knowing it’s a difficult time for the person they’re caring for, would be a sad experience. But what may surprise you is that it’s not. The families, in my experience, are not sad. They make the most of the time they have left and they remain positive for everyone knows what’s coming. They understand that their loved one is dying, but it’s not a time for sorrow, it’s a time of togetherness and warmth. I remember one particular family — three sisters — and the fourth was in the end-of-life stage. When I arrived, she was in a critical condition, and I knew she might not make it through the night. But sitting with the sisters, talking about their childhood, recalling what happened in the past was a special time. They mentioned that their sister had asked for peaches and cream earlier that day, and they made sure she got what she wanted. She went to sleep, and we lost her that night.
We can’t change what happens to us, but we can make a difference. We provide support through the stages of sadness and struggles. And, surprisingly, people may not suffer that much.
24. What can we learn about Marie Curie from the passage
A. It is a remarkable healthcare organization for benefit.
B. It is one of the most volunteer organizations in the world.
C. It won’t offer the service during some important festivals.
D. It can be a big comfort to those facing their beloved ones’ death.
25. Why does the author call the family mentioned in paragraph 3 “particular”
A. Because of the special relationship between them.
B. Because of their unusual and abnormal behaviour.
C. Because of the countless hardship the family has suffered.
D. Because of the family’s courage and calmness facing misfortune.
26. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Misfortune might be an actual blessing.
C. Where there is action, there is difference. D. All things are difficult before they are easy.
27. Which of the following can best describe the volunteers in Marie Curie
A. Devoted and caring. B. Gifted and generous.
C. Hardworking and honest. D. Sensitive and determined.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者加入Marie Curie这个为临终患者提供医疗服务的机构的原因，以及自己加入后的一些经历和感受。
24. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A Marie Curie nurse was by our side. Facing the emotions that come with knowing a loved one is at the end of their life can be heartbreaking. Having a nurse with us made it easier to deal with these feelings. (一位Marie Curie的护士在我们身边。知道所爱的人走到了生命的尽头，面对这种情绪会让人心碎。有护士陪着我们更容易处理这些情绪)”和第三段中“You might assume that being with families during their last Christmas, knowing it’s a difficult time for the person they’re caring for, would be a sad experience. But what may surprise you is that it’s not. The families, in my experience, are not sad. (你可能会认为，和家人一起度过他们的最后一个圣诞节，知道这对他们关心的人来说是一段艰难的时光，会是一种悲伤的经历。但令你惊讶的是，事实并非如此。根据我的经验，这些家庭并不悲伤)”可知，在作者自己的经历，以及其他患者家属的经历中，Marie Curie的工作人员为患者的家属提供了一些安慰和照顾。由此可知，对于那些面对亲人死亡的人来说，这个机构是一个很大的安慰。故选D。
25. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I remember one particular family—three sisters—and the fourth was in the end-of-life stage. When I arrived, she was in a critical condition, and I knew she might not make it through the night. But sitting with the sisters, talking about their childhood, recalling what happened in the past was a special time. They mentioned that their sister had asked for peaches and cream earlier that day, and they made sure she got what she wanted. She went to sleep, and we lost her that night. (我记得有一个家庭——三个姐妹——第四个已经到了生命的最后阶段。当我到达时，她情况危急，我知道她可能活不过今晚。但是和姐妹们坐在一起，谈论他们的童年，回忆过去发生的事情是一个特殊的时刻。她们提到她们的妹妹那天早些时候要了桃子和奶油，她们确保她得到了她想要的。她睡着了，那晚我们失去了她)”可知，这个特殊的家庭面对这种情况并没有慌张，而是聚在一起，回忆过去，尽量满足患者的要求。由此推知，这个家庭的特殊之处在于面对不幸时的勇气和冷静。故选D。
26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We can’t change what happens to us, but we can make a difference. We provide support through the stages of sadness and struggles. And, surprisingly, people may not suffer that much. (我们无法改变发生在我们身上的事情，但我们可以产生影响。我们在悲伤和挣扎的阶段提供支持。而且，令人惊讶的是，人们可能不会遭受那么多痛苦)”可知，作者认为人无法改变不幸，但却可以通过提供支持来削弱那种痛苦。由此可知，作者想表达的是哪里有行动，哪里就有不同。故选C。
27. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A Marie Curie nurse was by our side. Facing the emotions that come with knowing a loved one is at the end of their life can be heartbreaking. Having a nurse with us made it easier to deal with these feelings. (一位Marie Curie的护士在我们身边。知道所爱的人走到了生命的尽头，面对这种情绪会让人心碎。有护士陪着我们更容易处理这些情绪)”和第三段中“Working for the charity, I find myself on duty during most Christmases. (在这家慈善机构工作，我发现自己在大多数圣诞节期间都要值班)”可推知，Marie Curie的志愿者有奉献精神且关心他人。故选A。
C
(23-24高二下·江苏苏州·阶段练习)Established earthquake warning systems provide at best just a minute or two of notice, leaving little time for preparedness. Decades of searching for a better warning sign-changes in the geochemistry of groundwater, electromagnetic effects in the upper atmosphere, and even changes in animal behavior-have failed. Many question whether such a precursor(先兆) even exists. This situation may change soon, as recent research is providing a glimmer of hope for improved earthquake prediction.
Researchers Quentin Bletery and Jean-Mathieu Nocquet from Cote d’Azur University in France collected data from over 90 earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 7 that had occurred in the past two decades.They focused on GPS station records near these quakes, which accurately captured land movement every 5 minutes with millimeter precision. They analyzed more than 3,000 time series of motion in the 48 hours leading up to the main ruptures(断裂).
They noticed that, in the first 46 hours, the records showed no significant features. However, during the 2 hours before the earthquake, they noticed signs of increasing movement along the fault zones(断层带). Essentially, there’s a slip between plates causing the land above them to move in a measurable, horizontal direction.
Could this be just a coincidence The probability of this increase happening just before the quake and being unrelated is extremely low, and the researchers confirmed this by analyzing 100,000 random time windows in non-earthquake GPS data. The pattern occurred only 0.03% of the time in non-earthquake data.
While this precursor signal won’t be used for warnings anytime soon, officials from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) admit that this new study provides valuable insights into how to improve their warning systems-GPS data can grease the wheels of early earthquake warnings.
The researchers admit they're still a number of steps away from putting this precursor signal into use, particularly since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires more GPS stations. But the biggest problem is that many of the world’s earthquake regions have no instrumentation. “We can’t realize the detection at the scale of one earthquake, so we cannot make predictions,” Bletery said.
28. What remains a tough problem for scientists
A. Determining the magnitude of an earthquake.
B. Finding a way to detect earthquakes in early stages.
C. Measuring atmospheric changes during earthquakes.
D. Identifying animals’ possible responses to earthquakes.
29. What did the researchers find through their data analysis
A. The chance of main ruptures occurring in fault zones.
B. The accuracy of GPS in recording land movement.
C. The existence of a two-hour precursory phase.
D. The horizontal slip within the first 46 hours.
30. What does the underlined part “grease the wheels of” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Distinguish B. Contradict C. Overmatch D. Facilitate
31. What holds back the practical application of the new findings
A. The inaccessibility of precursor signals.
B. The complexity of updating GPS equipment.
C. The challenge of identifying earthquake regions.
D. The inconsistent slip patterns of different earthquakes.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于一种地震前兆信号的新研究，给地震预测带来了希望。并主要介绍了这项研究的过程，价值以及阻碍。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Decades of searching for a better warning sign-changes in the geochemistry of groundwater, electromagnetic effects in the upper atmosphere, and even changes in animal behavior-have failed. Many question whether such a precursor (先兆) even exists. (几十年来，人们一直在寻找更好的预警信号——地下水地球化学的变化、高层大气的电磁效应，甚至动物行为的变化——但都以失败告终。许多人甚至质疑这样的前兆是否存在。)”可知，科学家们仍然面临的难题是找到早期阶段监测地震的方法，故选B。
29. 细节理解题。 根据第三段“They noticed that, in the first 46 hours, the records showed no significant features. However, during the 2 hours before the earthquake, they noticed signs of increasing movement along the fault zones (断层带). (他们注意到，在最初的46个小时里，记录没有显示出明显的特征。然而，在地震发生前的2小时内，他们注意到沿断裂带移动增加的迹象。)”可知，研究人员通过数据分析发现地震发生前2小时前兆的存在。故选C。
30. 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“While this precursor signal won't be used for warnings anytime soon, officials from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) admit that this new study provides valuable insights into how to improve their warning systems- (虽然这种前兆信号短期内不会用于预警，但美国地质调查局(USGS)的官员承认，这项新研究为如何改进他们的预警系统提供了有价值的见解)”故推测下文意思是GPS数据可以推动早期地震预警的进展，所以grease the wheels of意思是推动进展，故选D。
31. 细节理解题。 根据最后一段“The researchers admit they're still a number of steps away from putting this precursor signal into use, particularly since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires more GPS stations. But the biggest problem is that many of the world's earthquake regions have no instrumentation. “We can't realize the detection at the scale of one earthquake, so we cannot make predictions,” Bletery said. (研究人员承认，他们距离将这种前兆信号投入使用还有很长的路要走，特别是因为在单个断层处检测细微信号需要更多的GPS站。但最大的问题是，世界上许多地震地区没有仪器。“我们无法在一次地震的规模上实现探测，所以我们无法做出预测，”布莱里说。)”由此可知因为很多地震地区没有仪器，所以我们很难监测前兆信号，也就是前兆信号的不可接近性阻碍了新发现的实际应用，故选A。
D
(23-24高二下·江苏泰州·阶段练习)Placed before you are two pots. Each contains 100 balls. You are given a clear description of the first pot’s contents, in which there are 50 red balls and 50 black balls. The economist running the experiment is tight-lipped about the second, saying only that there are 100 balls divided between red and black in some percentage. Then you are offered a choice. Pick a red ball from a pot and you will get a million dollars. Which pot would you like to pull from Now try again, but select a black ball. Which pot this time Most people choose the first pot both times, despite such a choice implying that there are both more and fewer red balls than in the second pot.
This fact is known as the Ellsberg paradox after Daniel Ellsberg, who called the behaviour hate uncertainty. It reveals a deeper problem facing the world as it struggles with climate change.
Ignorance of the future carries a cost today: uncertainty makes risks uninsurable, or at the very least expensive. The less insurers know about risks, the more capital they need to protect their balance-sheets against possible losses.
Insurance is a tool of climate adaptation. Indeed, insurance calculators have as big a role to play as activists in the fight against climate change. Without insurance, those whose homes burn in a wildfire or are destroyed by a flood will lose everything. Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. If prices are wrong, society will be more hurt by a hotter world than otherwise would be the case. Politicians considering financial aid for home insurance on flood plains ought to note.
32. The experiment of the two pots shows that ___________.
A. instinct sometimes works better than reasoning B. most people prefer predictability to uncertainty
C. people are willing to take risks to get a reward D. it is impossible to always make the right decision
33. What’s the functions of insurance
A. It raises people’s awareness of climate change. B. It prevents people from taking risks.
C. It motivates people to adapt to risky environment. D. It helps climate refugees to relocate.
34. What’s author’s attitude towards financial aids for home insurance
A. Opposing B. Supportive C. Uncertain D. Ambiguous
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Prevention is better than remedy B. Improving forecast can reduce uncertainty
C. Uncertainty pushes up the price of insurance D. Speedy action is urgently needed for climate change
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C

Which pot this time Most people choose the first pot both times, despite such a choice implying that there are both more and fewer red balls than in the second pot.(摆在你面前的是两个罐子。每个装有100个球。你会得到第一个罐子内容的清晰描述，里面有50个红色的球和50个黑色的球。负责这项实验的经济学家对第二个守口如瓶，只说有100个球按一定比例分为红色和黑色。然后你可以选择。从锅里挑一个红色的球，你会得到一百万美元。你想从哪个锅里选？现在再试一次，但选择一个黑色的球。这次是哪个罐子？大多数人两次都选择第一个锅，尽管这样的选择意味着红球比第二个罐子多也少。)”可知，在这个实验中，大多数人更愿意从已知比例的罐子中抽取球，在选择时更倾向于可预测的结果；结合第二段“This fact is known as the Ellsberg paradox after Daniel Ellsberg, who called the behaviour hate uncertainty.(这一事实被称为埃尔斯伯格悖论，以丹尼尔·埃尔斯伯格的名字命名，他称这种行为是对模糊性的厌恶。)”可知，两个罐子的试验结果表明大多数人喜欢可预测性，厌恶不确定性。故选B。
33. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Insurance is a tool of climate adaptation.(保险是适应气候变化的一种工具。)”以及“Without insurance, those whose homes burn in a wildfire or are destroyed by a flood will lose everything. Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. (如果没有保险，那些房屋被野火烧毁或被洪水摧毁的人将失去一切。保险也可以成为纠正措施的动机。更高的保险费用准确地反映了风险，刺激人们更快地适应，无论是通过阻止在危险地区建房，还是鼓励人们离开高火灾风险地区。)”可知，保险可以帮助遭受自然灾害的人们，避免他们失去一切；当保费准确反映相关风险时，就会激励人们尽早适应，可以通过阻止高风险地区的建设或鼓励人们从火灾多发地区搬迁来降低风险。由此可知，保险的作用是促使人们适应有风险的环境。故选C。
34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. If prices are wrong, society will be more hurt by a hotter world than otherwise would be the case. Politicians considering financial aid for home insurance on flood plains ought to note.(保险也可以成为纠正措施的动机。更高的保险费用准确地反映了风险，刺激人们更快地适应，无论是通过阻止在危险地区建房，还是鼓励人们离开高火灾风险地区。如果价格是错误的，世界变暖对社会的伤害将比其他情况更大。考虑为洪水平原地区的家庭保险提供财政援助的政客们应该注意到这一点。)”可知，作者认为，当保费准确反映相关风险时，就会激励人们尽早适应，这样可以通过阻止高风险地区的建设或鼓励人们从火灾多发地区搬迁来降低风险。如果保险定价不能准确地考虑风险，社会将在受气温上升影响的世界中承受更大的负担；由此可知，作者对于为家庭保险提供财政援助是持反对态度的，因为这会让人们低估气候变化带来的风险，从而造成更大的损失。故选A。
35. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Ignorance of the future carries a cost today: uncertainty makes risks uninsurable, or at the very least expensive. The less insurers know about risks, the more capital they need to protect their balance-sheets against possible losses.(对未来的无知带来了今天的代价：不确定性使风险无法投保，或者至少代价高昂。保险公司对风险的了解越少，他们就需要更多的资金来保护他们的资产负债表免受可能的损失。)”可知，文章通过埃尔斯伯格悖论阐述了全球日益变暖带来的风险与风险的不确定性如何推高保险价格；C选项“Uncertainty pushes up the price of insurance(不确定性推高了保险价格)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选C。

(23-24高二下·江苏南京·阶段练习)Life doesn’t always seem fair. Some people are just born with the ability to attract anyone they meet easily. Well, it might seem like a magical power, but actually there are various factors at work. 36 The answer is: to a large extent, yes you can.
But first, the bad news. People initially judge each other based purely on physical appearance With just a glimpse of a face, people make snap judgments about each other’s likeability, trustworthiness and confidence. How should we deal with this 37 People perceive a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and sociable. It sounds like common sense, doesn’t it Smile and others will smile with you.
What other tricks might we have 38 Consequently, three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat: raise our eyebrows quickly, tilt(仰起) our heads slightly, and once again, to smile.
So we’ve looked at body language, but of course what you say is hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there grinning foolishly. The golden rule of friendship is if you make people feel good about themselves, they’re going to like you. In other words, you should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements. 39
Finally, finding common ground is good to form a connection. Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared interests or experiences to bond with others. Simple things like asking where someone’s from really can open up a discussion and allow you to find areas in common. And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most British of topics: the weather. 40
A. It can break the ice.
B. So, can you develop exceptional charm
C. There’s one incredibly basic tool: your smile.
D. Alternatively, you need to display interest in them.
E. What effective strategies can we employ to become charming
F. Our brains frequently scan the surroundings for signs of friend or enemy.
G. Mutual interests are the foundation for building connections with others.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。有些人似乎有能力毫不费力地吸引别人，它可能看起来像一种神奇的力量，文章主要就如何培养吸引人的魅力介绍了一些方法。
36. 根据下文“The answer is: to a large extent, yes you can.(答案是：在很大程度上，你可以)”可知，上文为一般疑问句，所以B项“所以，你能学会发展超人的魅力吗？”的形式和句意都与下文衔接恰当。故选B。
37. 根据上文“How should we deal with this (我们应该如何处理这个问题)”可知，C项“有一个非常简单的工具：你的微笑”可以为这个问题给出具体的解决方法，同时衔接下文“People perceive a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and sociable.(人们认为有笑脸的人更值得信赖、更温暖、更善于交际)”，说明微笑的好处。故选C。
38. 根据下文“Consequently, three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat: raise our eyebrows quickly, tilt (仰起) our heads slightly, and once again, to smile.(因此，我们可以做三件事来表明我们不是威胁：迅速扬起眉毛，微微倾斜头，再一次微笑)”可知，F项“我们的大脑会审视周围的环境寻找是敌是友的信号”可以和下文衔接恰当，下文具体介绍是友不是敌的信号表达。故选F。
39. 根据上文“In other words, you should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements.(换句话说，你不应该谈论你自己和你所有的辉煌成就)”可知，D项“相反，你需要表现出对他们的兴趣”可以衔接上文，说明正确的做法是要关注对方。故选D。
40. 根据上文“And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most British of topics: the weather.(如果这些都失败了，你可以回到最英式的话题：天气)”可知，A项“这是一个很好的开始”可以承接上文，说明谈论天气是打开话题的好方法。故选A。

First, don’t wait too long if you choose to donate clothing to an organization, big or small. 58 sooner people donate their unwanted items, the more demand there is 59 them.
Wherever you donate, ensure clothes are clean and dry. If it 60 (damage) or stained, don’t send it to thrift shops(廉价旧货店). They don’t have the capacity to do 61 (repair). Besides, it not only creates a 62 (finance) burden, but defeats the purpose of the charitable action.
Find an organization that focuses on the products you’re looking to give. I Support The Girls, a non-profit, for example, collects and donates millions of 63 (gentle) used bras. Founder Dana Marlowe says they are among the most in-demand but least 64 (donate) products.
You can also deal directly with people 65 (look) to use your clothes. This could be in a yard sale, your local Buy Nothing Project, or a local online giveaway group. It can take time and there’s a carbon cost: shipping is required to get to the buyer, or to the warehouse then to the buyer.

56. to ensure 57. that/who 58. The 59. for 60. is damaged
61. repairs 62. financial 63. gently 64. donated 65. looking

58. 考查固定句型。句意：人们越早捐赠不需要的物品，他人对它们的需求就越大。the+比较级...，the+比较级...固定句型，意为“越……，越……”，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填The。
59. 考查介词。句意：人们越早捐赠不需要的物品，他人对它们的需求就越大。the demand for固定搭配，意为“对……的需求”，故填for。
60. 考查时态和语态。句意：如果损坏或弄脏，请勿将其送到旧货店。此处在if引导的状语从句中作谓语，句子面一般性事实，且主语it和动词damage是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，故填is damaged。

(23-24高二下·河北衡水·阶段练习)
My Best Teaching Experience
Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended(使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively(专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.
He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past; about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals(移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own ” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can’t remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week’s suspension.
To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.
续写要求：
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。
On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him.

【精彩范文】
On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him. At last he came, walking with his hands in his pockets. That image immediately brought back memories of the boy throwing a tantrum in class the other day. Yet I managed to restrain my anger this time. These past few days, I had been building a wall between us with blame and punishment, so I thought to myself that maybe I should try another way. “I want to apologize for the quarrel that we had in the middle of class, and I’m really sorry if it hurt your feelings,” I said, finally breaking the ice.
A spark of surprise flashed across his face. The naughty boy froze there, staring at me with wide eyes. It was clear that he had never heard an apology from a teacher before. “It is I who should say sorry,” he murmured, his face burning with shame, “I should have learned to control myself.” With a smile, I stepped forward and patted him on his shoulder, signaling to him to go back to his seat. In the days that followed, Tyler didn’t misbehave in class anymore and took an active part in class discussions. I had never expected “understanding” could make such a huge difference — it turned one of my worst teaching experiences into perhaps the best one.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的学生泰勒很难控制自己的情绪，很容易生气。在课堂上其他同学讨论问题时他总是吵闹，这让作者很无奈。一天泰勒和作者说话时说了一些粗鲁的话，所以他被送到办公室，并被停课一周。作者很担心泰勒回到学校后会有什么表现。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“泰勒回来的那天，我站在门口等他。”可知，第一段可描写泰勒回来后，作者对过去的做法进行了反思并主动给泰勒道歉。

I have been a healthcare assistant with Marie Curie for four years. What led me to join this remarkable organization was a deeply personal experience.
Seven years ago, my father was in the hospital, and I was informed that he was in the end-of-life stage. He had wanted to be at home during his final moments, so I arranged for him to return home. He spent only one more night there, but he wasn’t alone. A Marie Curie nurse was by our side. Facing the emotions that come with knowing a loved one is at the end of their life can be heartbreaking. Having a nurse with us made it easier to deal with these feelings. That’s when I made the decision to join Marie Curie.
Working for the charity, I find myself on duty during most Christmases. We operate every single day, including holidays. You might assume that being with families during their last Christmas, knowing it’s a difficult time for the person they’re caring for, would be a sad experience. But what may surprise you is that it’s not. The families, in my experience, are not sad. They make the most of the time they have left and they remain positive for everyone knows what’s coming. They understand that their loved one is dying, but it’s not a time for sorrow, it’s a time of togetherness and warmth. I remember one particular family — three sisters — and the fourth was in the end-of-life stage. When I arrived, she was in a critical condition, and I knew she might not make it through the night. But sitting with the sisters, talking about their childhood, recalling what happened in the past was a special time. They mentioned that their sister had asked for peaches and cream earlier that day, and they made sure she got what she wanted. She went to sleep, and we lost her that night.
We can’t change what happens to us, but we can make a difference. We provide support through the stages of sadness and struggles. And, surprisingly, people may not suffer that much.
24. What can we learn about Marie Curie from the passage
A. It is a remarkable healthcare organization for benefit.
B. It is one of the most volunteer organizations in the world.
C. It won’t offer the service during some important festivals.
D. It can be a big comfort to those facing their beloved ones’ death.
25. Why does the author call the family mentioned in paragraph 3 “particular”
A. Because of the special relationship between them.
B. Because of their unusual and abnormal behaviour.
C. Because of the countless hardship the family has suffered.
D. Because of the family’s courage and calmness facing misfortune.
26. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Misfortune might be an actual blessing.
C. Where there is action, there is difference. D. All things are difficult before they are easy.
27. Which of the following can best describe the volunteers in Marie Curie
A. Devoted and caring. B. Gifted and generous.
C. Hardworking and honest. D. Sensitive and determined.
C
Established earthquake warning systems provide at best just a minute or two of notice, leaving little time for preparedness. Decades of searching for a better warning sign-changes in the geochemistry of groundwater, electromagnetic effects in the upper atmosphere, and even changes in animal behavior-have failed. Many question whether such a precursor(先兆) even exists. This situation may change soon, as recent research is providing a glimmer of hope for improved earthquake prediction.
Researchers Quentin Bletery and Jean-Mathieu Nocquet from Cote d’Azur University in France collected data from over 90 earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 7 that had occurred in the past two decades.They focused on GPS station records near these quakes, which accurately captured land movement every 5 minutes with millimeter precision. They analyzed more than 3,000 time series of motion in the 48 hours leading up to the main ruptures(断裂).
They noticed that, in the first 46 hours, the records showed no significant features. However, during the 2 hours before the earthquake, they noticed signs of increasing movement along the fault zones(断层带). Essentially, there’s a slip between plates causing the land above them to move in a measurable, horizontal direction.
Could this be just a coincidence The probability of this increase happening just before the quake and being unrelated is extremely low, and the researchers confirmed this by analyzing 100,000 random time windows in non-earthquake GPS data. The pattern occurred only 0.03% of the time in non-earthquake data.
While this precursor signal won’t be used for warnings anytime soon, officials from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) admit that this new study provides valuable insights into how to improve their warning systems-GPS data can grease the wheels of early earthquake warnings.
The researchers admit they're still a number of steps away from putting this precursor signal into use, particularly since detecting subtle signals at individual faults requires more GPS stations. But the biggest problem is that many of the world’s earthquake regions have no instrumentation. “We can’t realize the detection at the scale of one earthquake, so we cannot make predictions,” Bletery said.
28. What remains a tough problem for scientists
A. Determining the magnitude of an earthquake.
B. Finding a way to detect earthquakes in early stages.
C. Measuring atmospheric changes during earthquakes.
D. Identifying animals’ possible responses to earthquakes.
29. What did the researchers find through their data analysis
A. The chance of main ruptures occurring in fault zones.
B. The accuracy of GPS in recording land movement.
C. The existence of a two-hour precursory phase.
D. The horizontal slip within the first 46 hours.
30. What does the underlined part “grease the wheels of” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Distinguish B. Contradict C. Overmatch D. Facilitate
31. What holds back the practical application of the new findings
A. The inaccessibility of precursor signals.
B. The complexity of updating GPS equipment.
C. The challenge of identifying earthquake regions.
D. The inconsistent slip patterns of different earthquakes.
D
Placed before you are two pots. Each contains 100 balls. You are given a clear description of the first pot’s contents, in which there are 50 red balls and 50 black balls. The economist running the experiment is tight-lipped about the second, saying only that there are 100 balls divided between red and black in some percentage. Then you are offered a choice. Pick a red ball from a pot and you will get a million dollars. Which pot would you like to pull from Now try again, but select a black ball. Which pot this time Most people choose the first pot both times, despite such a choice implying that there are both more and fewer red balls than in the second pot.
This fact is known as the Ellsberg paradox after Daniel Ellsberg, who called the behaviour hate uncertainty. It reveals a deeper problem facing the world as it struggles with climate change.
Ignorance of the future carries a cost today: uncertainty makes risks uninsurable, or at the very least expensive. The less insurers know about risks, the more capital they need to protect their balance-sheets against possible losses.
Insurance is a tool of climate adaptation. Indeed, insurance calculators have as big a role to play as activists in the fight against climate change. Without insurance, those whose homes burn in a wildfire or are destroyed by a flood will lose everything. Insurance can also be a motive for corrective action. Higher insurance expenses, which accurately reflect risk, stimulate people to adapt sooner, whether by discouraging building in risky areas or encouraging people to move away from high fire risk land. If prices are wrong, society will be more hurt by a hotter world than otherwise would be the case. Politicians considering financial aid for home insurance on flood plains ought to note.
32. The experiment of the two pots shows that ___________.
A. instinct sometimes works better than reasoning B. most people prefer predictability to uncertainty
C. people are willing to take risks to get a reward D. it is impossible to always make the right decision
33. What’s the functions of insurance
A. It raises people’s awareness of climate change. B. It prevents people from taking risks.
C. It motivates people to adapt to risky environment. D. It helps climate refugees to relocate.
34. What’s author’s attitude towards financial aids for home insurance
A. Opposing B. Supportive C. Uncertain D. Ambiguous
35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Prevention is better than remedy B. Improving forecast can reduce uncertainty
C. Uncertainty pushes up the price of insurance D. Speedy action is urgently needed for climate change

Life doesn’t always seem fair. Some people are just born with the ability to attract anyone they meet easily. Well, it might seem like a magical power, but actually there are various factors at work. 36 The answer is: to a large extent, yes you can.
But first, the bad news. People initially judge each other based purely on physical appearance With just a glimpse of a face, people make snap judgments about each other’s likeability, trustworthiness and confidence. How should we deal with this 37 People perceive a smiling face as more trustworthy, warmer and sociable. It sounds like common sense, doesn’t it Smile and others will smile with you.
What other tricks might we have 38 Consequently, three things we can do to signal that we are not a threat: raise our eyebrows quickly, tilt(仰起) our heads slightly, and once again, to smile.
So we’ve looked at body language, but of course what you say is hugely important too, unless you want to just stand there grinning foolishly. The golden rule of friendship is if you make people feel good about themselves, they’re going to like you. In other words, you should not talk about yourself and all your wonderful achievements. 39
Finally, finding common ground is good to form a connection. Charming people are particularly skilled at seeking out shared interests or experiences to bond with others. Simple things like asking where someone’s from really can open up a discussion and allow you to find areas in common. And if all else fails, you can fall back on that most British of topics: the weather. 40
A. It can break the ice.
B. So, can you develop exceptional charm
C. There’s one incredibly basic tool: your smile.
D. Alternatively, you need to display interest in them.
E. What effective strategies can we employ to become charming
F. Our brains frequently scan the surroundings for signs of friend or enemy.
G. Mutual interests are the foundation for building connections with others.

The best way 56 (ensure) your good, usable clothing doesn’t become waste is to increase the chances it ends up with someone 57 wants it.
First, don’t wait too long if you choose to donate clothing to an organization, big or small. 58 sooner people donate their unwanted items, the more demand there is 59 them.
Wherever you donate, ensure clothes are clean and dry. If it 60 (damage) or stained, don’t send it to thrift shops(廉价旧货店). They don’t have the capacity to do 61 (repair). Besides, it not only creates a 62 (finance) burden, but defeats the purpose of the charitable action.
Find an organization that focuses on the products you’re looking to give. I Support The Girls, a non-profit, for example, collects and donates millions of 63 (gentle) used bras. Founder Dana Marlowe says they are among the most in-demand but least 64 (donate) products.
You can also deal directly with people 65 (look) to use your clothes. This could be in a yard sale, your local Buy Nothing Project, or a local online giveaway group. It can take time and there’s a carbon cost: shipping is required to get to the buyer, or to the warehouse then to the buyer.

My Best Teaching Experience
Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended(使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively(专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.
He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past; about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals(移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own ” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can’t remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week’s suspension.
To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.
续写要求：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
