I’d been making sweaters for a few years and giving them away as gifts. Funny, I rarely knew whom would be given the sweater to when I started a new one. But eventually, a name would pop into my head. I’d given one of my sweaters to a coworker with a difficult pregnancy (怀孕). One to a friend entering recovery. Usually, a voice was in time to tell me who needed comfort.
“Did you hear about Susan ” I looked up. My friend Lori, one of the directors of our company, had stopped by my desk. We’d cooperated with Susan on a project recently, but I only saw her in meetings. We’d never had a private conversation. Susan was way above my rank, so to speak. I just worked with the data her department provided.
“Is she okay ” I asked. “She’s in the hospital for an operation,” Lori said.
There’s my name, I thought. The sweater was for Susan.
But sending something personally seemed presumptuous (冒昧的). Wouldn’t she think it strange to receive a gift from a random programmer Besides, Lori mentioned that the office would send something from all of us. I looked up the website of the hospital where Susan was having her surgery. There were patient pages, where people could leave good wishes. Susan’s page was full of messages. Friends and family were visiting, bringing her chocolates and dropping off meals for her family. Susan has a great support network. Surely, the sweater ought to go to someone else.
A voice seemed to come from deep inside me, “Vicki, maybe Susan needs it.”
Well, I knew what I should do. I mailed the sweater to her, with a little note: “I hope this brings you comfort.” Beyond my expectation, Susan sent me a nice thank-you note, saying, “Your gift meant much to me.”
I’d worried I was being inappropriate, thinking I was the wrong person to reach out. But the voice helped me make the right decision.
4. How did Vicki decide on the receiver of her sweater
A. By consulting with Lori.
B. By following her inner voice.
C. By assessing the receiver’s difficulty.
D. By randomly choosing one from her friends.
5. What can we know about Susan from Paragraph 2
A. She took charge of Vicki’s company.
B. She had a close relationship with Lori.
C. She was unfamiliar to Vicki.
D. She bore responsibility for providing data to Vicki.
6. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 5

B. To show Susan’s popularity among her friends.
C. To give a detailed account of Susan’s serious condition.
D. To list some reasons for not giving Susan the sweater.
7. Which of the following words can be used to describe Vicki

C. Faithful and curious. D. Brave and creative.
C
If you work in a white-collar job in an office, it is likely that you will wear a uniform. Why do you need to wear one
For employers who require it, there are several arguments in favour of uniforms. They help ensure a level of professionalism in appearance. They project a brand identity, from the red coats of Virgin Atlantic crew to the “Browns” uniform of UPS delivery drivers. They may have useful job-specific features.
A study by Robert Smith of Tilburg University and his colleagues asked people to imagine being on the receiving end of poor service when ordering a pizza. They were then shown pictures of the uniformed or non-uniformed employee. The person without a uniform who had treated them badly was circled. In this sense, if corporate clothing is a symbol of good service, the authors suggest that it may be a good idea not to give it to inexperienced workers, because, to some extent, it’s a representative of a profession.
Uniforms can also affect the psychology of employees. In 2012, Hajo Adam, a professor in Columbia Business School, coined the term “enclothed cognition (认知)” to describe the effect that specific clothes have on the way that people think and feel. Questions have been raised over the validity of enclothed cognition, but a new meta-analysis by Messrs Adam and Galinsky, along with Carl Blaine Horton of Columbia Business School, concludes that the phenomenon is real.
The obvious objection to uniforms, at least from people who do not wear them, is that they limit individuality and autonomy. But employees who do not have to wear a formal uniform often gravitate towards a costume anyway. Some coders (编码人员) seem to be under an unspoken duty to wear T-shirts. The combination of shirt, trousers and Patagonia gilet (马甲) is known as the “midtown uniform” for finance types in New York. Bosses build brands by wearing the same outfit day after day. Therefore, you may not be required to wear a uniform when you head off to work. You may still be in uniform.
8. Why is Virgin Atlantic crew mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To emphasize the need for uniforms in all industries.
B To highlight the importance of job-specific features in uniforms.
C. To provide an example of how uniforms establish a brand image.
D. To discuss the variety of uniform styles across different professions.
9. What can we infer about uniforms from Robert Smith’s study
A. They mean professional.
B. They impress customers.
C. They guarantee quality service.
D. They symbolize the corporate image.
10. What does the underlined word “validity” mean in Paragraph 3
A. The variety of the coined term.
B. The state of being logical and true.
C. The context of questions being raised.
D. The complexity of the phenomenon.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards uniforms
A. Opposed. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
D
The western tanagers (唐纳雀) spend their winters in Central America and can be found in a variety of habitats. In spring, they prepare to migrate (迁移), flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. Like most migrating birds, they eat enormous amounts of food. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, they arrive at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge.
According to a study published in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants and their food sources, could have affected migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a professor and co-author of the study. “But few people have noticed that the length and timing of seasons—like when winter ends and spring begins—are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”
The awe-inspiring migration has attracted humans for many years, yet scientists have limited knowledge of how birds manage to fly as far as they do, up to tens of thousands of miles a trip. The migratory cues (提示) that birds rely on are various: temperature, day length, landforms, the stars, as well as the instructions coded in their genes (基因). Some of the environmental cues, such as temperature, are likely affected by climate change. But others, such as day length and stars, are not. “That might be one reason why some migratory birds are more affected by climate change than others,” Loss says.
Worldwide, bird populations are in decline. The number of birds in North America has dropped by roughly 30 percent since 1970. Even species with large population, such as crows, have suffered a population decrease. Scott Loss says that the migration research could information efforts in the future. And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to come up strategies to deal with climate change.
12. What does “green-up” refer to in Paragraph 2
A. The phenomenon of birds’ greeting spring. B. The phase when plants flower and insects appear.
C. A project to plant more trees and restore greenery. D. A term describing the period when birds migrate.
13. What is often overlooked about the effects of climate change according to Scott Loss
A. The length and timing of seasons. B. The change of birds’ flying habit.
C. The habitat destruction. D. The reduction of food resources.
14. What might be used to help migratory birds decide the right time to migrate
A. Day length. B. Instructions from genes. C. Temperature. D. Stars.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Climate Change Is Too Fast For Migrating Birds
B. The Journey Of Migratory Birds Is Full Of Adventure
C. Bird Migration Serves As A Warning Of Climate Change
D. Immediate Action Must Be Taken To Carry Out Research On Birds

In the busy city of Evercrest lived a young woman named Lily. She was a recent transplant from a small town, chasing her dreams of becoming a successful graphic designer (平面设计师). With stars in her eyes and a heart full of hope, Lily had moved into a tiny apartment in the city, ready to begin her new journey.
One chilly autumn evening, Lily got into an unexpected, tough situation. She had just left the local library, her arms laden (装满的) with books on design theory and software guides, eager to dive into her studies. As she walked towards the bus stop, her phone buzzed with a notification—her last email informed her that the deadline for a crucial design competition had been brought forward unexpectedly. Panic set in, she needed to submit her entry tonight.
With a growing sense of urgency, Lily quickened her pace, her heels clicking against the pavement. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just as she turned the corner, one of her worn-out shoes broke, leaving her walking awkwardly on one foot. The bus stop was still a good ten minutes away, and there was no way she could make it in time like this.
Feeling a mix of frustration and despair, Lily leaned against a nearby lamppost, thinking about what to do. It was then that a gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.
“Are you alright there, miss ” asked a tall, middle-aged man with kind eyes and a warm smile. He was dressed casually, wearing a faded jacket and holding a leather bag. Lily looked up, surprised by the stranger’s concern. “I…I’m okay, just my shoe broke, and I have to get home urgently,” she explained, gesturing towards her useless footwear.
Without hesitation, the stranger introduced himself as Mr. Thompson. “Please, let me help,” he offered, pulling out a small roll of tape from his bag. “It won’t be pretty, but it’ll hold until you can get a proper fix.” Grateful for the unexpected assistance, Lily watched as Mr. Thompson skillfully repaired her shoe.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

They chatted like friends while he worked.

I’d been making sweaters for a few years and giving them away as gifts. Funny, I rarely knew whom would be given the sweater to when I started a new one. But eventually, a name would pop into my head. I’d given one of my sweaters to a coworker with a difficult pregnancy (怀孕). One to a friend entering recovery. Usually, a voice was in time to tell me who needed comfort.
“Did you hear about Susan ” I looked up. My friend Lori, one of the directors of our company, had stopped by my desk. We’d cooperated with Susan on a project recently, but I only saw her in meetings. We’d never had a private conversation. Susan was way above my rank, so to speak. I just worked with the data her department provided.
“Is she okay ” I asked. “She’s in the hospital for an operation,” Lori said.
There’s my name, I thought. The sweater was for Susan.
But sending something personally seemed presumptuous (冒昧的). Wouldn’t she think it strange to receive a gift from a random programmer Besides, Lori mentioned that the office would send something from all of us. I looked up the website of the hospital where Susan was having her surgery. There were patient pages, where people could leave good wishes. Susan’s page was full of messages. Friends and family were visiting, bringing her chocolates and dropping off meals for her family. Susan has a great support network. Surely, the sweater ought to go to someone else.
A voice seemed to come from deep inside me, “Vicki, maybe Susan needs it.”
Well, I knew what I should do. I mailed the sweater to her, with a little note: “I hope this brings you comfort.” Beyond my expectation, Susan sent me a nice thank-you note, saying, “Your gift meant much to me.”
I’d worried I was being inappropriate, thinking I was the wrong person to reach out. But the voice helped me make the right decision.
4. How did Vicki decide on the receiver of her sweater
A. By consulting with Lori.
B. By following her inner voice.
C. By assessing the receiver’s difficulty.
D. By randomly choosing one from her friends.
5. What can we know about Susan from Paragraph 2
A. She took charge of Vicki’s company.
B. She had a close relationship with Lori.
C. She was unfamiliar to Vicki.
D. She bore responsibility for providing data to Vicki.

Friends and family were visiting, bringing her chocolates and dropping off meals for her family. Susan has a great support network. Surely, the sweater ought to go to someone else.”（但寄个人的东西似乎有些冒昧。她不会觉得收到一个随机的程序员的礼物很奇怪吗？另外，洛莉说办公室会代表我们大家寄点东西。我查了一下苏珊做手术的那家医院的网站。有病人专页，人们可以在那里留下美好的祝愿。苏珊的页面上写满了留言。朋友和家人都去看她，给她带巧克力，给她的家人送饭。苏珊有一个很好的支持网络。当然，这件毛衣应该给别人。），Vicki列举了Susan有很多朋友和家人的支持，以及公司也会送礼物等原因，这些都是她认为不应该将毛衣送给Susan的理由。故选D。

If you work in a white-collar job in an office, it is likely that you will wear a uniform. Why do you need to wear one
For employers who require it, there are several arguments in favour of uniforms. They help ensure a level of professionalism in appearance. They project a brand identity, from the red coats of Virgin Atlantic crew to the “Browns” uniform of UPS delivery drivers. They may have useful job-specific features.
A study by Robert Smith of Tilburg University and his colleagues asked people to imagine being on the receiving end of poor service when ordering a pizza. They were then shown pictures of the uniformed or non-uniformed employee. The person without a uniform who had treated them badly was circled. In this sense, if corporate clothing is a symbol of good service, the authors suggest that it may be a good idea not to give it to inexperienced workers, because, to some extent, it’s a representative of a profession.
Uniforms can also affect the psychology of employees. In 2012, Hajo Adam, a professor in Columbia Business School, coined the term “enclothed cognition (认知)” to describe the effect that specific clothes have on the way that people think and feel. Questions have been raised over the validity of enclothed cognition, but a new meta-analysis by Messrs Adam and Galinsky, along with Carl Blaine Horton of Columbia Business School, concludes that the phenomenon is real.
The obvious objection to uniforms, at least from people who do not wear them, is that they limit individuality and autonomy. But employees who do not have to wear a formal uniform often gravitate towards a costume anyway. Some coders (编码人员) seem to be under an unspoken duty to wear T-shirts. The combination of shirt, trousers and Patagonia gilet (马甲) is known as the “midtown uniform” for finance types in New York. Bosses build brands by wearing the same outfit day after day. Therefore, you may not be required to wear a uniform when you head off to work. You may still be in uniform.
8. Why is Virgin Atlantic crew mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To emphasize the need for uniforms in all industries.
B. To highlight the importance of job-specific features in uniforms.
C. To provide an example of how uniforms establish a brand image.
D. To discuss the variety of uniform styles across different professions.
9. What can we infer about uniforms from Robert Smith’s study
A. They mean professional.
B. They impress customers.
C. They guarantee quality service.
D. They symbolize the corporate image.
10. What does the underlined word “validity” mean in Paragraph 3
A. The variety of the coined term.
B. The state of being logical and true.
C. The context of questions being raised.
D. The complexity of the phenomenon.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards uniforms
A. Opposed. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了办公室白领员工穿制服的原因和效果。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“They help ensure a level of professionalism in appearance. (它们有助于确保在外观上达到专业水平)”和“They project a brand identity, from the red coats of Virgin Atlantic crew to the “Browns” uniform of UPS delivery drivers. They may have useful job-specific features.(从维珍航空(Virgin Atlantic)机组人员的红色外套到联合包裹(UPS)快递司机的“棕色”制服，它们都投射出一种品牌标识。它们可能具有有用的特定于工作的特性)”可推知，段中提到了维珍航空的机组人员是为了举例说明制服如何树立品牌形象。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“A study by Robert Smith of Tilburg University and his colleagues asked people to imagine being on the receiving end of poor service when ordering a pizza. They were then shown pictures of the uniformed or non-uniformed employee. The person without a uniform who had treated them badly was circled.(蒂尔堡大学的罗伯特·史密斯和他的同事们做了一项研究，让人们想象自己在点披萨时受到糟糕的服务。然后给他们看穿制服或不穿制服的员工的照片。那个对他们不好的没穿制服的人被圈了起来)”可知，在选择服务质量差的员工时，人们选择了没有穿制服的员工。由此推知，即使制服本身不能保证服务质量，但人们会无意识地把制服与专业可靠的形象联系在一起，认为穿制服的人会更专业。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Questions have been raised over the validity of enclothed cognition, but a new meta-analysis by Messrs Adam and Galinsky, along with Carl Blaine Horton of Columbia Business School, concludes that the phenomenon is real.(人们对“外衣认知”的validity提出了质疑，但亚当和加林斯基以及哥伦比亚商学院的卡尔·布莱恩·霍顿进行的一项新的元分析得出结论，这种现象是真实存在的)”中“but”可知，上下文存在转折关系。下文讲新的研究表明“外衣认知”是真实存在的现象，说明上文是说有人对其真实性提出质疑，构成转折关系。故validity意为“真实性，正确性”，与“The state of being logical and true.(合乎逻辑和真实的状态)”同义。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其结合第二段中“For employers who require it, there are several arguments in favour of uniforms. They help ensure a level of professionalism in appearance.(对于需要制服的雇主来说，有几个理由支持制服。它们有助于确保在外观上达到专业水平)”和第四段中“Uniforms can also affect the psychology of employees.(制服也会影响员工的心理)”和最后一段中“Bosses build brands by wearing the same outfit day after day. Therefore, you may not be required to wear a uniform when you head off to work. You may still be in uniform.(老板们通过日复一日穿同一套衣服来打造品牌。因此，当你去上班时，你可能不需要穿制服。你可能还穿着制服)”可知，作者提出了几个支持制服的积极论点，例如确保专业水平，突出品牌标识，此外，作者通过“穿衣认知”的概念提到了制服的心理好处。尽管作者承认对限制个性的反对意见，但这些观点被人们如何自然地被某些服装所吸引的例子所反驳。由此推知，总体上，作者对制服持有认可的态度。故选C项。
D
The western tanagers (唐纳雀) spend their winters in Central America and can be found in a variety of habitats. In spring, they prepare to migrate (迁移), flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. Like most migrating birds, they eat enormous amounts of food. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, they arrive at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge.
According to a study published in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants and their food sources, could have affected migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a professor and co-author of the study. “But few people have noticed that the length and timing of seasons—like when winter ends and spring begins—are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”
The awe-inspiring migration has attracted humans for many years, yet scientists have limited knowledge of how birds manage to fly as far as they do, up to tens of thousands of miles a trip. The migratory cues (提示) that birds rely on are various: temperature, day length, landforms, the stars, as well as the instructions coded in their genes (基因). Some of the environmental cues, such as temperature, are likely affected by climate change. But others, such as day length and stars, are not. “That might be one reason why some migratory birds are more affected by climate change than others,” Loss says.
Worldwide, bird populations are in decline. The number of birds in North America has dropped by roughly 30 percent since 1970. Even species with large population, such as crows, have suffered a population decrease. Scott Loss says that the migration research could information efforts in the future. And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to come up strategies to deal with climate change.
12. What does “green-up” refer to in Paragraph 2
A. The phenomenon of birds’ greeting spring. B. The phase when plants flower and insects appear.
C. A project to plant more trees and restore greenery. D. A term describing the period when birds migrate.
13. What is often overlooked about the effects of climate change according to Scott Loss
A. The length and timing of seasons. B. The change of birds’ flying habit.
C. The habitat destruction. D. The reduction of food resources.
14. What might be used to help migratory birds decide the right time to migrate
A. Day length. B. Instructions from genes. C. Temperature. D. Stars.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Climate Change Is Too Fast For Migrating Birds
B. The Journey Of Migratory Birds Is Full Of Adventure
C. Bird Migration Serves As A Warning Of Climate Change
D. Immediate Action Must Be Taken To Carry Out Research On Birds
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候变化影响了候鸟的生存，介绍了相关研究以及启发。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, they arrive at their destination after what’s known as”以及后文“when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge.”可知，随着全球气候变化导致春天提前到来，它们在所谓的“植物开花和昆虫出现的时期”之后到达目的地，这时花朵开始绽放，昆虫开始出现。故第二段中的“green-up”指的是植物开花和昆虫出现的时期。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But few people have noticed that the length and timing of seasons—like when winter ends and spring begins—are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.(但很少有人注意到，季节的长度和时间——比如冬天结束和春天开始的时间——是气候变化最显著的影响之一)”可知，关于气候变化的影响，季节的长度和时间经常被忽视。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The migratory cues (提示) that birds rely on are various: temperature, day length, landforms, the stars, as well as the instructions coded in their genes (基因). Some of the environmental cues, such as temperature, are likely affected by climate change.(鸟类依赖的迁徙线索是多种多样的：温度、白昼长度、地形、星星，以及它们基因中编码的指令。一些环境因素，如温度，可能会受到气候变化的影响)”可知，温度可以用来帮助候鸟决定正确的迁徙时间。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. Like most migrating birds, they eat enormous amounts of food. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, they arrive at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge.(为了在漫长的旅途中补充能量，唐纳雀以昆虫和浆果为食。像大多数候鸟一样，它们吃大量的食物。但随着全球气候变化导致春天提前到来，它们在所谓的“绿色”之后到达目的地，这时花朵开始绽放，昆虫开始出现)”结合文章主要说明了气候变化影响了候鸟的生存，介绍了相关研究以及启发。可知，A选项“气候变化对候鸟来说太快了”最符合文章标题。故选A。

47. 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。
In the busy city of Evercrest lived a young woman named Lily. She was a recent transplant from a small town, chasing her dreams of becoming a successful graphic designer (平面设计师). With stars in her eyes and a heart full of hope, Lily had moved into a tiny apartment in the city, ready to begin her new journey.
One chilly autumn evening, Lily got into an unexpected, tough situation. She had just left the local library, her arms laden (装满的) with books on design theory and software guides, eager to dive into her studies. As she walked towards the bus stop, her phone buzzed with a notification—her last email informed her that the deadline for a crucial design competition had been brought forward unexpectedly. Panic set in, she needed to submit her entry tonight.
With a growing sense of urgency, Lily quickened her pace, her heels clicking against the pavement. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just as she turned the corner, one of her worn-out shoes broke, leaving her walking awkwardly on one foot. The bus stop was still a good ten minutes away, and there was no way she could make it in time like this.
Feeling a mix of frustration and despair, Lily leaned against a nearby lamppost, thinking about what to do. It was then that a gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.
“Are you alright there, miss ” asked a tall, middle-aged man with kind eyes and a warm smile. He was dressed casually, wearing a faded jacket and holding a leather bag. Lily looked up, surprised by the stranger’s concern. “I…I’m okay, just my shoe broke, and I have to get home urgently,” she explained, gesturing towards her useless footwear.
Without hesitation, the stranger introduced himself as Mr. Thompson. “Please, let me help,” he offered, pulling out a small roll of tape from his bag. “It won’t be pretty, but it’ll hold until you can get a proper fix.” Grateful for the unexpected assistance, Lily watched as Mr. Thompson skillfully repaired her shoe.

After that, he went through many difficulties. Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, he never lost hope and remained optimistic about the future. He believed that everything was an opportunity for growth and learning, no matter what we experienced. “Finished,” he said, giving it back to Lily.
Putting on the shoe, she felt warm and inspired to join in the design competition. Once Lily arrived home, she immediately began working on her design, drawing in pi ration from Mr. Thompon’s optimism and determination. Throughout the process, she poured her heart and soul into work, struggling for perfection. In the end, she finished the design and submitted her entry. She sighed and dropped into a nearby chair, thinking that she would have missed the chance without Mr. Thompson's help. With his words echoing in her mind, she knew she would brave anything in her life.
