The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Rain (谷雨), as the last term in spring, starts on April 19 and ends on May 4. Grain Rain originates from the old saying, “Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grains,” which shows that this period of rainfall is extremely important for the growth of crops. The Grain Rain signals the end of cold weather and a rapid rise in temperature. Here are five things that you may not know about the Grain Rain.
Key time for agriculture
Grain Rain brings a marked increase in temperature and rainfall and the grains grow faster and stronger. It’s a key time to protect the crops from insect pests.
Sandstorms occur
Grain Rain falls between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, with infrequent cold air moving to the south and lingering cold air in the north. From the end of April to the beginning of May, the temperature rises much higher than it does in March. With dry soil, an unsteady atmosphere and heavy winds, gales (飓风) and sandstorms become more frequent.
Drinking tea
There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is rich in vitamins and amino acids (氨基酸), which can help to remove heat from the body and is good for the eyes. It is also said that drinking tea on this day would prevent bad luck.
Grain Rain Festival
The Grain Rain festival is celebrated by fishing villages in the coastal areas of northern China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fishermen’s first voyage of the year. The custom dates back more than 2,000 years ago, when people believed they owed a good harvest to the gods, who protected them from the stormy seas. People would worship the sea and stage sacrifice ceremonies on the Grain Rain festival, praying for an abundant harvest and a safe voyage for their loved ones.
21. According to the passage, which is the benefit of drinking tea on the day of Grain Rain
A. Refreshing. B. Nutritious. C. Memorable. D. Protective.
22. What is the main purpose of the Grain Rain festival
A. To celebrate the end of winter. B. To give thanks for the harvest.
C. To honor the gods for protection. D. To welcome the new fishing season.
23. Where is text probably taken from
A. A culture column. B. A science report.
C. An agricultural paper. D. A tourism advertisement.

The Ministry of Public Security has exposed a video that sparked a nationwide search after it was universally viewed on social media.
The video, describing homework booklets supposedly lost by a Chinese first grader in Paris, was revealed to be a carefully crafted play for online attention. The local ministry also presented details of 10 relevant highly-concerned cases, highlighting the Paris homework incident as a typical example.
The video was uploaded in February by a blogger surnamed Xu from Zhejiang province. It showed a Parisian restaurant worker supposedly returning homework found in a restroom. The video said the homework belonged to Qin Lang from Class Eight, without specifying the school. That sparked a social media craze, with many netizens attempting to locate the child.
However the narrative quickly unfolded. A user claiming to be Qin Lang’s uncle appeared in the comments section. Following investigations revealed the person making the comment, a person surnamed Yang from Jiangsu province, was another participant in the play to gain online attention and was not related to Xu.
Further investigation by authorities exposed the entire act. Police discovered that Xu, along with her company director scripted the video, purchased a homework booklet online and staged the entire scene.
Facing administrative punishments and demands for public apologies, Xu admitted her initial lack of “legal awareness” but expressed regret for the widespread attention and disturbance caused by the video. Her social media accounts, with millions of followers across many platforms, have been canceled.
In December, the ministry launched a nationwide campaign against online rumors, targeting individuals who spread rumors, fake news or utilize trending topics for personal gain. Law enforcement authorities will increasingly monitor major social media, live-streaming and short video platforms to identify and address malicious(恶意的) online activity.
24. What do we learn about the video
A. It received fairly limited views.
B. It recorded a genuine incident happened in Paris.
C. It was a rare case that showed little relevance to others.
D. It was uploaded mainly for widespread online attention.

A. She canceled all her social media accounts actively.
B. She admitted her mistake and expressed sincere regret.

C. Many people follow the trend blindly for entertainment and personal gain.
D. Relevant administrations will strengthen their efforts to control the spread of online rumors.
C
Waking up at the crack of dawn and going for a run might feel intimidating when you start trying to make it a habit. Weaving a significant new activity such as this into your regular routine obviously takes determination and time — but how much time is really needed to make that habit stick
One popular idea suggests that it takes 21 days to solidify a habit. The “three-week theory” originated from the 1960 self-help book Psycho-Cybernetics, in which plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz observed that it took his patients about 21 days to get used to their new appearance after surgery. Even without much solid research, the 21-day myth became widely accepted. It likely persisted because it seems like such a reasonable amount of time, Colin Camerer, a behavioral economist at the California Institute of Technology who has conducted research on habit formation, explains.
Almost a half century later, researchers finally gathered strong evidence that countered this idea. A significant 2009 study on habit creation found that habits developed in a range of 18 to 254 days; participants reported taking an average of about 66 days to reliably incorporate one of three new daily activities — eating a piece of fruit with lunch, drinking a bottle of water with lunch or running for 15 minutes before dinner. Consistent daily repetition was the biggest factor influencing whether a behavior would become part of an automatic daily routine, says Lally, who was the first author on the study.
The type of activity is also a factor. Last year a study conducted by Camerer and his colleagues showed that creating a handwashing habit took a few weeks, compared with the half year it took for people to develop an exercise habit. Handwashing, the study noted, is less complex than exercising and offers more opportunities to practice. The researchers also suggested that habit formation depends on the effort that a person puts into practicing an activity and on the presence of environmental cues that would remind them to carry out the behavior.
28. Why is waking up early for a run mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To advocate taking exercise regularly.
B. To express the difficulty of an early rise.
C. To stress the significance of getting up early.
D. To introduce how long it takes to develop a new habit.
29. Why was the “three-week theory” well received even without solid evidence
A. Because the theory persisted for a long time.
B. Because a noted surgeon put forward this theory.
C. Because 21 days may be seen as realistic and achievable.
D. Because the theory was originated from a popular self-help book.
30. What is the key to making a habit stick according to the article
A. Repeated practice. B. Time. C. Determination. D. Individualized ways.
31. What’s the passage mainly about
A. The ways of changing a habit. B. The time frame of developing a habit.
C. The activities to create a habit. D. The influence of having a habit.
D
There are positive effects of having deep conversations with strangers, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
“Connecting with others in meaningful ways tends to make people happier, and yet people also seem unwilling to engage in deeper conversation,” said Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago. “This struck us as an interesting social paradox: If connecting with others in deep and meaningful ways increases well-being, then why aren’t people doing it more often in daily life ”
To answer that question, Epley and his colleagues designed several experiments, where pairs of people—mainly strangers—were asked to discuss either relatively deep or shallow topics. Before the conversations, participants predicted how awkward they thought the conversations would be, how connected they thought they would feel to their conversation partner and how much they would enjoy the conversation. Afterward, they rated their predictions on actual basis. Generally, the researchers found that both deep conversations felt less awkward and led to greater feelings of connectedness and enjoyment than the participants had expected.
If deep connection is better, then why aren’t people actually having more of them The researchers suspected it might be because people underestimate how interested strangers are in learning about their deeper thoughts and feelings. In some of the experiments, the researchers asked participants to predict how interested their conversation partner would be in the discussion, and then afterward to indicate how interested their partner actually was in the discussion. On average, people consistently underestimated how interested their partners would be in learning about them.
“People seemed to imagine that revealing something meaningful about themselves in conversation would be met with blank stares and silence, only to find this wasn’t true in the actual conversation,” Epley said. “Human beings are deeply social and tend to respond in conversation. If you share something important, you are likely to get something important exchanged in return, leading to a considerably better conversation.”
32. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Complexity. B. Coherence. C. Transformation. D. Contradiction.
33. What do we know about the experiment
A. All the topics discussed were not deep ones.
B. The experiments were carried out on a regular basis.
C. Most of the participants are familiar with each other.
D. The participants made predictions while in conversation.
34. According to the study, what actually hold(s) back deep conversations between strangers
A. Depth of the topic. B. People’s expectations.
C. Participants’ interest. D. Consistency of the talk.
35. What may the text advocate
A. Giving active responses in talking.
B. Making safe predictions in communication.
C. Engaging in more conversations to be sociable.
D. Striking up in-depth conversations with strangers.

The bustling heart of Boston seemed to stretch on endlessly, much like the hardships that had befallen a woman named Ara Bolster. For two long years, Bolster had been homeless. Every day was a struggle for survival. Every night was a battle against hopelessness. Bolster would often find herself in tears, her gaze lost in the labyrinth (迷宫) of city streets. “I had been in tears, thinking to myself,” she recalled later, “‘God, when is the tide going to turn ’”
But little did she know that her tide was about to turn in the most unexpected way.
Despite her circumstances, Bolster had always loved to sing. On occasion, she would find comfort in her voice, using it to drown out the noise of the city and the clamor (喧闹)of her own troubles. One day, as she sang on a street corner, her voice caught the ear of a stranger.
Matt Shearer, a radio news reporter, had been out covering another story but found himself captivated by the woman’s song. There was something raw and real in her voice that touched him deeply. He approached Bolster and struck up a conversation, sensing that there was a greater story here than the one he had initially set out to find.
As they talked, Bolster shared with Shearer what mattered most to her — a song she had written during her darkest hours. The lyrics were scribbled (潦草地写) on a piece of cardboard that had once served as her mattress (床垫) at night. The melody existed only in her mind, but it was a tune that held great significance for her. This song was not just words; it was her life story, her pain, her joy, and her hope all rolled into one powerful anthem (赞歌).
Shearer was moved by Bolster’s passion for her music and her desire to share it with the world. He knew deep down that he could help make this dream a reality. With connections in the music industry and a strong sense of purpose, Shearer vowed to help Bolster record her song professionally.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 段落开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
A few days later, Shearer drove her to a destination that would change her life forever — a recording studio.

Paragraph 2:
With Shearer’s backing Bolster uploaded her creation to Bandcamp, a platform where independent artists can shine.

【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一项研究推翻了人们所认同的21天养成新习惯的理论，表明一个均需要66天才能成为日常生活的一部分，每日重复、活动类型以及个人的努力都影响习惯的养成。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Waking up at the crack of dawn and going for a run might feel intimidating when you start trying to make it a habit. Weaving a significant new activity such as this into your regular routine obviously takes determination and time — but how much time is really needed to make that habit stick (当你开始尝试让跑步成为一种习惯时，黎明时分起床去跑步可能会让你感到害怕。显然，将这样一项重要的新活动纳入你的日常生活需要决心和时间——但真正需要多少时间来养成这个习惯呢？)”可推知，该段提到早起跑步是为了引入本文话题：养成一个新习惯需要多长时间。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even without much solid research, the 21-day myth became widely accepted. It likely persisted because it seems like such a reasonable amount of time(即使没有太多可靠的研究，21天的神话也被广泛接受。它可能会继续下去，因为它看起来是如此合理的一段时间)”可知，“三周理论”在没有确凿证据的情况下也能广受欢迎，是因为这个时间看起来现实可行。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Consistent daily repetition was the biggest factor influencing whether a behavior would become part of an automatic daily routine, says Lally, who was the first author on the study.(该研究的第一作者Lally说，持续的每日重复是影响一种行为是否会成为自动日常生活一部分的最大因素)”可知，重复是让习惯坚持下去的关键因素。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“but how much time is really needed to make that habit stick (但真正需要多少时间来养成这个习惯呢？)”可知，文章主要讲述一项研究推翻了人们所认同的21天养成新习惯的理论，表明一个均需要66天才能成为日常生活的一部分，每日重复、活动类型以及个人的努力都影响习惯的养成。故选B。
D
There are positive effects of having deep conversations with strangers, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
“Connecting with others in meaningful ways tends to make people happier, and yet people also seem unwilling to engage in deeper conversation,” said Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago. “This struck us as an interesting social paradox: If connecting with others in deep and meaningful ways increases well-being, then why aren’t people doing it more often in daily life ”
To answer that question, Epley and his colleagues designed several experiments, where pairs of people—mainly strangers—were asked to discuss either relatively deep or shallow topics. Before the conversations, participants predicted how awkward they thought the conversations would be, how connected they thought they would feel to their conversation partner and how much they would enjoy the conversation. Afterward, they rated their predictions on actual basis. Generally, the researchers found that both deep conversations felt less awkward and led to greater feelings of connectedness and enjoyment than the participants had expected.
If deep connection is better, then why aren’t people actually having more of them The researchers suspected it might be because people underestimate how interested strangers are in learning about their deeper thoughts and feelings. In some of the experiments, the researchers asked participants to predict how interested their conversation partner would be in the discussion, and then afterward to indicate how interested their partner actually was in the discussion. On average, people consistently underestimated how interested their partners would be in learning about them.
“People seemed to imagine that revealing something meaningful about themselves in conversation would be met with blank stares and silence, only to find this wasn’t true in the actual conversation,” Epley said. “Human beings are deeply social and tend to respond in conversation. If you share something important, you are likely to get something important exchanged in return, leading to a considerably better conversation.”
32. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Complexity. B. Coherence. C. Transformation. D. Contradiction.
33. What do we know about the experiment
A. All the topics discussed were not deep ones.
B. The experiments were carried out on a regular basis.
C. Most of the participants are familiar with each other.
D. The participants made predictions while in conversation.
34. According to the study what actually hold(s) back deep conversations between strangers
A. Depth of the topic. B. People’s expectations.
C. Participants’ interest. D. Consistency of the talk.
35. What may the text advocate
A. Giving active responses in talking.
B. Making safe predictions in communication.
C. Engaging in more conversations to be sociable.
D. Striking up in-depth conversations with strangers.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员通过实验来了解人们为什么不愿意和陌生人进行深层次的交流。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“If connecting with others in deep and meaningful ways increases well-being, then why aren’t people doing it more often in daily life ”（ 如果以深刻而有意义的方式与他人联系能提高幸福感，那么为什么人们不在日常生活中更经常地这样做呢 ”）”可知，这让我们觉得是一个有趣的社会悖论，画线词与D项“矛盾”意思相近。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“To answer that question, Epley and his colleagues designed several experiments, where pairs of people—mainly strangers—were asked to discuss either relatively deep or shallow topics.( 为了回答这个问题，埃普利和他的同事们设计了几个实验，在实验中，一对对人——主要是陌生人——被要求讨论相对深入或肤浅的话题。)”可知，所有被讨论的话题都不深入。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“If deep connection is better, then why aren’t people actually having more of them The researchers suspected it might be because people underestimate how interested strangers are in learning about their deeper thoughts and feelings.（如果深度联系更好，那么为什么人们实际上没有更多的深度联系呢？研究人员怀疑这可能是因为人们低估了陌生人对了解他们更深层次的想法和感受的兴趣）”可知，阻碍和陌生人进行深层次对话的是人们的假设，即他们假设陌生人不会对他们更深层次的想法和感受感兴趣。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文最后一段“Epley said. “Human beings are deeply social and tend to respond in conversation. If you share something important, you are likely to get something important exchanged in return, leading to a considerably better conversation.”（ 埃普利说: “人类具有很强的社交性，倾向于在交谈中做出回应。如果你分享一些重要的东西，你很可能会得到一些重要的东西作为交换，从而导致更好的对话。”）”可推知，本文提倡与陌生人进行深入的交谈。故选D。

67. 阅读下面短文，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 bustling heart of Boston seemed to stretch on endlessly, much like the hardships that had befallen a woman named Ara Bolster. For two long years, Bolster had been homeless. Every day was a struggle for survival. Every night was a battle against hopelessness. Bolster would often find herself in tears, her gaze lost in the labyrinth (迷宫) of city streets. “I had been in tears, thinking to myself,” she recalled later, “‘God, when is the tide going to turn ’”
But little did she know that her tide was about to turn in the most unexpected way.
Despite her circumstances, Bolster had always loved to sing. On occasion, she would find comfort in her voice, using it to drown out the noise of the city and the clamor (喧闹)of her own troubles. One day, as she sang on a street corner, her voice caught the ear of a stranger.
Matt Shearer, a radio news reporter, had been out covering another story but found himself captivated by the woman’s song. There was something raw and real in her voice that touched him deeply. He approached Bolster and struck up a conversation, sensing that there was a greater story here than the one he had initially set out to find.
As they talked, Bolster shared with Shearer what mattered most to her — a song she had written during her darkest hours. The lyrics were scribbled (潦草地写) on a piece of cardboard that had once served as her mattress (床垫) at night. The melody existed only in her mind, but it was a tune that held great significance for her. This song was not just words; it was her life story, her pain, her joy, and her hope all rolled into one powerful anthem (赞歌).
Shearer was moved by Bolster’s passion for her music and her desire to share it with the world. He knew deep down that he could help make this dream a reality. With connections in the music industry and a strong sense of purpose, Shearer vowed to help Bolster record her song professionally.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 段落开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
A few days later, Shearer drove her to a destination that would change her life forever — a recording studio.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
With Shearer’s backing, Bolster uploaded her creation to Bandcamp, a platform where independent artists can shine.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A few days later, Shearer drove her to a destination that would change her life forever – a recording studio. As they stepped inside, the air was thick with anticipation and the hum of high-tech equipment. Surrounded by mics and sound boards, Bolster felt a rush of emotions: part thrill, part jitters. Luckily, Shearer's connections had brought in a team of experts – an engineer and a producer – to guide her through the process. And as they hit record, something incredible happened. The very song that had been Bolster's beacon of hope during her toughest times now filled the room with its raw, emotional energy, capturing the push and pull of love’s complex dance. “I was blown away,” Shearer exclaimed, his voice heavy with awe. “Her lyrics were so powerful – they spoke straight to the heart.”
With Shearer's backing, Bolster uploaded her creation to Bandcamp, a platform where independent artists can shine. What happened next was nothing short of miraculous: her song struck a chord with listeners worldwide, racking up nearly $5,000 in downloads in just a few weeks. As the song’s popularity continued to soar, it became a beacon of hope for others seeking to overcome adversity and pursue their dreams. For Bolster, this wasn’t just about the money; it was about transforming despair into hope, invisibility into recognition, and most profoundly, forging an unbreakable bond of friendship that defied all expectations. In a world often shadowed by harshness and despair, their story shines brightly, standing as a testament to the power of human empathy and support which can have a ripple effect that transcends time and space.
