The schools located in the East End of Houston, Texas, serve some of the poorest, most at-risk students in the Houston Independent School District. Like many urban areas, Houston’s East End is a “food desert,” where fresh, affordable produce is hard to find, while unhealthy foods from convenience stores and fast food restaurants are widely available. The combination of urban pollution and unhealthy foods have led to diabetes （糖尿病）, obesity, and associated illnesses in the East End.
Through a youth-led “Green Ambassador” program rooted in the environmental education curriculum of Project Learning Tree (PLT), students from East End schools are aiming to change their neighborhood. Their goal is to transform their community from a food desert to a food forest that can supply the East End’s residents with fresh, natural foods while also providing food and shelter for wildlife. They’re planting one fruit tree and one community garden at a time, linking their schools and neighborhoods to form a Houston East End Greenbelt.
Emerson Hernandez, a student at Furr High School, joined the school’s PLT GreenSchools’ Green Team in ninth grade. The program sparked a passion to work with his classmates and other participating GreenSchools to transform his community into a thriving green corridor. “Through PLT you’re encouraging people to take action, to do something for their neighborhood. And while you’re doing it, you’re learning all kinds of other things—math, social studies, history, science, and writing,” says Hernandez.
They have planted more than 200 trees all over the East End of Houston, created and tended more than 200 vegetable garden beds in the community, and raised approximately 3,000 pounds of sweet potatoes, and other vegetables that have been donated to area food banks.
“Emerson is such a phenomenal young leader,” says Tamberly Conway, Diversity and Inclusion Specialist at the U. S. Forest Service. “He can speak to adults and peers alike. He’s been an incredible role model. His passion and love shine through. ”
（ ）24．How does the author begin the passage
A．By giving an example. B．By describing a scene.
C．By presenting the problem. D．By comparing phenomena.
（ ）25．What can we learn about students from East End schools
A．They donate foods to the community.
B．They combine curriculum study with labor.
C．They founded “Green Ambassador” program.
D．They appeal for community wildlife protection.
（ ）26．Which of the following words best describe Emerson
A．Thoughtful and gifted. B．Curious and aggressive.
C．Pioneering and creative. D．Responsible and enthusiastic.
（ ）27．What is the main idea of the paragraph 4
A．Donation raised by students. B．Students’ achievements in community.
C．Students’ extracurricular performance. D．Students’ appeal for crop production.
C
Many people assume today’s easy long-distance collaboration （合作） should release a flood of creative scientific research—but, strangely, a new study suggests the opposite may be true.
Several reasons have been suggested for an apparent slowdown in new research ideas, but it seems remote collaboration itself may be a limiting factor. For a recent study in Nature, University of Pittsburgh social scientist Lingfei Wu and his colleagues found that teams collaborating remotely produce fewer breakthroughs.
The researchers analyzed 20 million research papers published between 1960 and 2020 and four million patents filed between 1976 and 2020 to assess how “disruptive” they were by analyzing quotations. Highly disruptive studies were those that put earlier work to shame and open new avenues of research; articles that quote them usually don’t also quote earlier studies they build on. Less disruptive studies build on previous work, and articles quoting them typically also quote prior studies.
The researchers found that as the distance between authors’ workplaces increases from zero to at least 600 kilometers, their papers’ being disruptive falls by roughly a quarter. To investigate why, Wu and his team analyzed researchers’ self-reported roles. They found that those working together in person were more likely to focus on conceptual tasks—the kind of work likely to produce new ideas. Researchers collaborating remotely were more likely to do technical work such as data analysis.
The team also found that when researchers were gathering in person, even big differences between individuals’ quotation numbers had little effect on the likelihood of their collaborating on conceptual work. But in remote teams, the chances of researchers jointly producing ideas declined when one had significantly more quotations than the other.
The findings challenge the assumption that merely connecting people online leads to the growth of new ideas. In theory, remote collaboration enables more new combinations of knowledge. However, if new innovation is encouraged, people should be brought together instead of relying on digital infrastructure （基础设施）. ”
（ ）28．What does the underlined “disruptive” mean in paragraph 3
A．Creative. B．Destructive. C．Unique. D．Representative.
（ ）29．What does paragraph 4 mainly prove
A．In-person collaboration brings about technical work.
B．Long-distance collaboration doesn’t benefit new ideas.
C．Long-distance collaboration is of great importance.
D．In-person collaboration is better than long-distance one.
（ ）30．In remote teams, new ideas may occur at least when ______.
A．online individuals contribute to the discussion
B．equipment for remote collaboration is available
C．individuals’ quotations in both sides are equal
D．researchers’ quotations differ greatly in number
（ ）31．What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Researchers collaborate remotely to be more creative.
B．Scientists collaborate better when they are farther apart.
C．Scientists innovate more while working together in person.
D．Researchers make breakthroughs with digital infrastructure.
D
Willful ignorance exists in large amount in daily life. People regularly look the other way rather than examining the consequences of their actions. Despite plenty of scientific evidence for climate change, for instance, many people still avoid engaging with facts about global warming.
We wanted to understand how common willful ignorance is and why people engage in it. After collecting data from multiple research projects that involved more than 6,000 individuals, we discovered that willful ignorance is common and harmful, with 40 percent of people choosing “not to know” the consequences of their actions to free themselves of guilt while maximizing their own gains. But we also found that about 40 percent of people are unselfish: rather than avoiding information about the consequences of their actions, they seek it out to increase the benefits to others.
In the experiments, the decisions were made in one of two settings. In the transparent （透明的） setting, decision-makers had information about how their choice would affect themselves and their partner. In an ambiguous （模糊的） setting, decision-makers knew how their choice would matter for themselves but not for their teammate—although they could request that insight.
The overall balance tipped toward selfishness when participants had the option to avoid information. Only 39 percent of people in the ambiguous setting made the choice that ultimately benefited their partner—a significant drop from 55 percent in the transparent condition.
If we can avoid putting a strong moral emphasis on decisions, it may make people feel less threatened and, as a result, be less willfully ignorant. Other research groups have found promising ways to do this. For instance, we could encourage people to think more positively about good deeds rather than guilt-trip them for what they have failed to do. Highlighting recent global achievements, such as healing the ozone （臭氧） layer, can inspire people to keep up the good work rather than feeling like the battle is lost and that the situation is hopeless.
In short, we can encourage one another and ourselves toward more selfless and generous actions.
（ ）32．Why do some people choose not to know the consequences of their actions
A．To make easier choices to be a good person.
B．To increase their own benefits more than others’.
C．To avoid the influence of consequences on actions.
D．To get the most benefits without a sense of shame.
（ ）33．How can willful ignorance be prevented
A．By focusing less on its morality. B．By stressing its potential threat.
C．By being more positive about oneself. D．By getting people aware of their actions.
（ ）34．Which part of the magazine is the passage taken from
A．Culture. B．Environment. C．Psychology. D．Biology.
（ ）35．What is the passage mainly about
A．The reason for willful ignorance.
B．The results of willful ignorance.
C．The harmful effects of willful ignorance.
D．The influence of willful ignorance on environment.

Time management can help you stand out in your studies, shine at work, and feel less stressed. But how can you manage your routine effectively It’s actually easier than you’d think. By teaching you a few simple tricks, we’ll show you how to transform your time management skills. 36．______
Before beginning your work load for the day, prioritize. To-do lists are a great tool, but organize them a little rather than just writing down everything that needs to get done. List tasks under each category. For example, if you need to finish a report for work, that would be an urgent task. If you need to begin another work project, but the deadline is not for another two weeks, that would be an “important, but not urgent” task. 37．______
Do not multitask.
Many people assume multitasking is a great way to get more done and manage time wisely. However, focusing on multiple tasks actually makes you less productive. Things will take longer to do, as you’re not giving anything your full attention. Focus completely on one task at a time instead. 38．______
Create the right environment to work.
A work environment can help with your overall productivity. There are no strict rules about a work environment, so pick what feels right for you. 39．______ These feelings will help you stay on task and be productive. For example, a particular artist may inspire you. Invest in a few of their paintings and hang these up on your walls.
Avoid interruptions as much as possible.
Interruptions disrupt your workflow. If you’re in the middle of a task and stop to do something else, it can be hard to get back into work mode. When you’re working on a task, try to complete it before doing something else. For example, if you realize you need to return an e-mail while you’re in the middle of something else, do not stop to return the e-mail. 40．______
A．Do important tasks first.
B．List your tasks in terms of importance.
C．Instead, set it down somewhere and get to it after you finish the task at hand.
D．You will get your work done quicker this way, allowing you to make the most of your time.
E．Surround yourself with inspiring decorations that help you feel enthusiastic and passionate.
F．If you would like to go for a run after work, but it’s not vital, that would be a “low-priority” task.
G．Do your best to avoid interruptions, but do not beat yourself up over the occasional distraction at work.

I’ve been a college professor teaching people how to think more creatively and use more of their brainpower. 41 , this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest in my childhood.
At a picnic of my father’s company, they held contests for kids—who threw a cloth handkerchief the farthest this time. I, 13 years old, was full of the spirit of 42 , so I threw myself into the contest, which, I realize now, was not meant to 43 real skills, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my 44 of thinking outside the box.
It disturbed me to see the kids throwing 45 when the handkerchief always opened and stopped. The 46 was not to throw harder but to prevent the cloth from 47 . Suppose I hid a rock in the cloth without tying it. The rock would drive the cloth at least 48 than the others, and when they separated, people might not notice a small rock 49 nearby. I had a good chance of 50 it, but I didn’t want to win by cheating. So I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! I 51 tied knot （结） after knot until it was the size of a large walnut （核桃）, like a strong 52 . I threw hard, and the balled handkerchief rocketed off 60 feet away. All stared at me in 53 and the judge ran to check. “It’s just the 54 ,” he declared, holding it up and untying the knots.
What I learned from this contest was 55 thinking. To live creatively, you have to tap into the less-used parts of your brain.

阅读下面材料，根据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。
On a cold, snowy evening, Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination—the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago, he saw figurines （小雕像） of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to realize his little dream. He was so excited, hardly noticing the world around him, that he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the sidewalk, her back against the wall. He murmured （低语） “sorry” and moved on to his destination.
Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more—all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.
“You like these, true believer ”
Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes…Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot…” the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.”
“Then become one!” said the old man.
“How ” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.”
“And why would you need them ” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy’s face, he squatted （蹲下） and put his hands on Tommy’s arms. “Did you know, that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person—” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.”
The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes, sunk in thought.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I appreciate your initiative to organize an English reading activity to enhance our reading skills. Having surveyed our classmates, I’m now writing to provide you with their feedback and my suggestions.
Firstly, in terms of material selection, it is recommended that a wide range of texts should be available, covering both fiction and non-fiction genres. This allows students to explore different topics and styles, thus fostering a broader interest in reading. As for the reading format, there are two opinions. Some students favor independent reading, arguing that it enables them to work at their own pace and boosts a more personalized learning experience. Others, however, prefer group work, emphasizing the benefits of collaboration and the opportunity to discuss and share insights with peers. To strike a balance, I propose incorporating both, with independent reading sessions occasionally combined with group discussions.
Thank you once again for considering our feedback. With your guidance and our enthusiasm, this reading activity will definitely be a huge success.
Best regards,
Li Hua
读后续写
Possible version:
范文一
Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes, sunk in thought. Finally, raising his head, he announced, “So I am supposed to…” and stopped mid-sentence, realizing he was alone. He turned his head left and right, only to find the old man nowhere to be seen. Tommy sighed heavily--it dawned on him what he should do. He looked at figurines for the last time and moved towards the counter. “Two sandwiches and a cup of tea please,” he said.
The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. Tommy came closer and carefully gave the woman his buys. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, then filled with tears. "Thank you," she whispered. Tommy bowed his head, turned around and headed back home. He was moving faster and faster and finally he started to run. Strange energy filling his body made him feel like he could fly. He smiled happily—it was a wonderful feeling. And nothing could stop it.
范文二
Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes, sunk in thought. The old man’s words revealed what Tommy had never thought of-he himself had the power to be a superhero than those he looked up to. "But what should I do " murmured Tommy as his thoughtful gaze fell on his hard-earned money. Somehow, the homeless woman sitting on the sidewalk flashed across his mind. In a minute, superhero mission took shape. He swirled around and headed towards the shelves on which were piles of food and drinks. Having paid at the counter, Tommy, laden with shopping, made his way to the lady, whose legs he had tripped over.
The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. At the instant, he really looked into her weathered face, bony and pale in her hair. With nervousness in his footsteps, he approached the woman and stopped to lay down the bag gently, “These are for you.” Her gaze, fixed on the street, now locked onto the boy offering a gesture of kindness. It took seconds to understand someone helped her. Tears began to well up in her eyes. “Thank you! You are my hero,” she uttered, voice alive with gratitude and hope. It was such a worthwhile moment that Tommy wouldn’t trade it for the world.

解析：在第二段中，提到学生们通过“绿色大使”项目，将学校教育与社区劳动结合起来，旨在改变社区环境，以及第三段最后一句话，因此，我们可以了解到这些学生将课程学习与劳动相结合。
26．D
解析：第三段提到The program sparked a passion to work with his classmates and other participating GreenSchools to transform his Houston community into a thriving green corridor. 说明他有责任心，致力于改变自己社区的主人公意识；最后一段提到“Emerson is such a phenomenal young leader”和“His passion and love shine through.”，说明Emerson是一个有才华且充满热情的年轻领导者。因此，最能描述Emerson的词是“Responsible and enthusiastic.”（有责任心且热情）。
27．B

文章体裁：说明文
文章大意：研究发现远程合作不利于科学创新，面对面合作更能催生新思想。
28．A
解析：在第三段中提到，highly disruptive的研究是那些使早期工作黯然失色并开辟新的研究途径的研究，因此“disruptive”的意思是创新性的，颠覆性的，答案为A。
29．B
解析：第四段提到随着作者工作地点之间的距离增加，他们的论文具有创造性的可能性降低，这表明长距离合作不利于新思想的产生。因此，该段主要证明了远距离合作对新思想没有好处。因此，答案为B。
30．C
解析：第五段在远程合作中，如果一方的引用数量显著高于另一方，那么他们共同产生新思想的机会就会大幅下降。因此，至少当两边的引用数量相等时，或许才可能促进新思想的产生。因此，答案为C。
31．C
解析：文章主要讲述了面对面合作更能催生新思想，而远程合作则不利于新思想的产生。因此，最适合的标题是“科学家们面对面合作时更能创新”。因此，答案为C。
D篇
文章出处：Scientific American-2024.04 pdf
文章体裁：说明文
文章大意：本文讨论了故意忽视（willful ignorance）的现象，即人们选择不去了解某些信息以避免对自己行为后果的负罪感，并追求个人利益的最大化。研究发现，有些人故意忽视事实以逃避罪恶感，而有些人则积极寻求信息以增加对他人的益处。文章提出通过改变道德框架来减少故意忽视的发生，并鼓励人们采取更无私和慷慨的行动。
32．D
解析：在文章第二段中提到，有些人选择“不知道”他们行为的后果是为了逃避罪恶感，同时最大化自己的利益。因此，他们选择不知道是为了获得最大的利益而不感到羞耻。因此，答案为D。
33．A
解析：
文章第五段提到：“如果我们能避免在决策上过分强调道德，可能会让人们感到不那么受威胁，从而减少有意无知。”这意味着减少道德上的强调或压力可以帮助防止有意无知。接着，文章进一步解释说，可以通过鼓励人们更积极地看待好事，而不是因为他们没有做什么而感到内疚，来减少有意无知。A选项“By focusing less on its morality”（通过减少对其道德的关注）与文章提到的减少道德强调以减少有意无知是一致的。
34．C
解析：文章讨论了行为科学和心理学方面的内容，研究故意忽视的现象以及其原因。因此，文章很可能来自心理学杂志。
35．A
解析：文章主要讨论了故意忽视（willful ignorance）的原因，以及如何通过改变道德框架来预防故意忽视。因此，文章的主要内容是关于故意忽视的原因。

文章体裁：说明文
大意：本文是一篇关于提升时间管理效率的说明文，介绍了避免中断的技巧。
36-40 BFDEC
36．B
解析：本段第一句“在开始一天的工作之前，要优先排序”，这表明我们需要对任务进行某种形式的分类或排序。后文举例通过按重要性对任务进行排序，我们可以更清晰地了解哪些任务需要优先处理，哪些可以稍后处理，从而更有效地管理时间。选项B“按重要性列出你的任务”最能综合概括主旨，是最佳标题。
37．F
解析：前文提到了分类任务的重要性，并给出了两个例子：一个紧急任务和一个重要但不紧急的任务。接下来，此处应该继续对任务进行分类的说明，强调不同任务之间的优先级差异。选项F，下班后想去跑步但不是必须的任务，将其定义为“低优先级”任务，正好与前文关于任务分类的论述相呼应。
38．D
解析：标题：不要同时处理多个任务，本段也强调了专注和单一任务处理的重要性。选项D正好是对这一观点的补充和解释。它说明了专注处理单一任务能够带来的好处，即提高工作效率和时间利用率。
39．E
解析：前文提到“工作环境可以帮助提高整体效率，没有严格的规定，所以选择适合自己的”，这表明创造有利于工作的环境是提升效率的一个重要方面。选项E“用鼓舞人心的装饰物包围自己，让自己感到充满热情和激情”正是关于如何创造这样一个环境的建议，而且照应空后的指示代词these（feelings）。
40．C
解析：根据上下文，文章提到“当你在做一项任务时，尽量在做其它事情之前完成它。例如，如果你意识到你需要回复一封电子邮件，而你正在做其它事情，不要停下来回复电子邮件。”这句话强调了避免中断的重要性，因此选项C“相反，把它放在某个地方，等你完成手头的任务后再去处理”与前文内容相符，提出了一个具体的避免中断的方法，即先将中断事项记下，待当前任务完成后再去处理。

M: Excuse me, Miss Penny. I’m having a problem with the English task. Some words are pronounced really fast and sound different.

M: Then what kind of words are stressed
W: Words like nouns, verbs, adjectives should be stressed and we use the strong form for them when we speak. But words like pronouns, articles, prepositions are often not stressed, and we usually use the weak form when we speak.

The piece of music I like by Beethoven is the second movement of his Piano Concerto No. 5．It’s always been my best. As well as it being an incredibly beautiful piece of music, I love the simplicity of the piano part. In particular, I love the purity of the solo passage about a third of the way in. It’s the piece of music my wife walked in to on our wedding, so as well as being a wonderful piece, it reminds me all these memories of my wife looking beautiful on our wedding day. I went to Guildhall School of Music & Dram a when I was younger and thereforelearnt lots about music. Sticking with Beethoven, another favorite piece of mine is the Symphony No. 6．It was one of my dad’s very favourite pieces of music, so again is particularly special to me. Towards the end of the symphony, when we come out of the storm and feel the sunlight breaking through again, it always feels like an inspiring moment for me.

The schools located in the East End of Houston, Texas, serve some of the poorest, most at-risk students in the Houston Independent School District. Like many urban areas, Houston’s East End is a “food desert,” where fresh, affordable produce is hard to find, while unhealthy foods from convenience stores and fast food restaurants are widely available. The combination of urban pollution and unhealthy foods have led to diabetes （糖尿病）, obesity, and associated illnesses in the East End.
Through a youth-led “Green Ambassador” program rooted in the environmental education curriculum of Project Learning Tree (PLT), students from East End schools are aiming to change their neighborhood. Their goal is to transform their community from a food desert to a food forest that can supply the East End’s residents with fresh, natural foods while also providing food and shelter for wildlife. They’re planting one fruit tree and one community garden at a time, linking their schools and neighborhoods to form a Houston East End Greenbelt.
Emerson Hernandez, a student at Furr High School, joined the school’s PLT GreenSchools’ Green Team in ninth grade. The program sparked a passion to work with his classmates and other participating GreenSchools to transform his community into a thriving green corridor. “Through PLT you’re encouraging people to take action, to do something for their neighborhood. And while you’re doing it, you’re learning all kinds of other things—math, social studies, history, science, and writing,” says Hernandez.
They have planted more than 200 trees all over the East End of Houston, created and tended more than 200 vegetable garden beds in the community, and raised approximately 3,000 pounds of sweet potatoes, and other vegetables that have been donated to area food banks.
“Emerson is such a phenomenal young leader,” says Tamberly Conway, Diversity and Inclusion Specialist at the U. S. Forest Service. “He can speak to adults and peers alike. He’s been an incredible role model. His passion and love shine through. ”
（ ）24．How does the author begin the passage
A．By giving an example. B．By describing a scene.
C．By presenting the problem. D．By comparing phenomena.
（ ）25．What can we learn about students from East End schools
A．They donate foods to the community.
B．They combine curriculum study with labor.
C．They founded “Green Ambassador” program.
D．They appeal for community wildlife protection.
（ ）26．Which of the following words best describe Emerson
A．Thoughtful and gifted. B．Curious and aggressive.
C．Pioneering and creative. D．Responsible and enthusiastic.
（ ）27．What is the main idea of the paragraph 4
A．Donation raised by students. B．Students’ achievements in community.
C．Students’ extracurricular performance. D．Students’ appeal for crop production.
C
Many people assume today’s easy long-distance collaboration （合作） should release a flood of creative scientific research—but, strangely, a new study suggests the opposite may be true.
Several reasons have been suggested for an apparent slowdown in new research ideas, but it seems remote collaboration itself may be a limiting factor. For a recent study in Nature, University of Pittsburgh social scientist Lingfei Wu and his colleagues found that teams collaborating remotely produce fewer breakthroughs.
The researchers analyzed 20 million research papers published between 1960 and 2020 and four million patents filed between 1976 and 2020 to assess how “disruptive” they were by analyzing quotations. Highly disruptive studies were those that put earlier work to shame and open new avenues of research; articles that quote them usually don’t also quote earlier studies they build on. Less disruptive studies build on previous work, and articles quoting them typically also quote prior studies.
The researchers found that as the distance between authors’ workplaces increases from zero to at least 600 kilometers, their papers’ being disruptive falls by roughly a quarter. To investigate why, Wu and his team analyzed researchers’ self-reported roles. They found that those working together in person were more likely to focus on conceptual tasks—the kind of work likely to produce new ideas. Researchers collaborating remotely were more likely to do technical work such as data analysis.
The team also found that when researchers were gathering in person, even big differences between individuals’ quotation numbers had little effect on the likelihood of their collaborating on conceptual work. But in remote teams, the chances of researchers jointly producing ideas declined when one had significantly more quotations than the other.
The findings challenge the assumption that merely connecting people online leads to the growth of new ideas. In theory, remote collaboration enables more new combinations of knowledge. However, if new innovation is encouraged, people should be brought together instead of relying on digital infrastructure （基础设施）. ”
（ ）28．What does the underlined “disruptive” mean in paragraph 3
A．Creative. B．Destructive. C．Unique. D．Representative.
（ ）29．What does paragraph 4 mainly prove
A．In-person collaboration brings about technical work.
B．Long-distance collaboration doesn’t benefit new ideas.
C．Long-distance collaboration is of great importance.
D．In-person collaboration is better than long-distance one.
（ ）30．In remote teams, new ideas may occur at least when ______.
A．online individuals contribute to the discussion
B．equipment for remote collaboration is available
C．individuals’ quotations in both sides are equal
D．researchers’ quotations differ greatly in number
（ ）31．What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Researchers collaborate remotely to be more creative.
B．Scientists collaborate better when they are farther apart.
C．Scientists innovate more while working together in person.
D．Researchers make breakthroughs with digital infrastructure.
D
Willful ignorance exists in large amount in daily life. People regularly look the other way rather than examining the consequences of their actions. Despite plenty of scientific evidence for climate change, for instance, many people still avoid engaging with facts about global warming.
We wanted to understand how common willful ignorance is and why people engage in it. After collecting data from multiple research projects that involved more than 6,000 individuals, we discovered that willful ignorance is common and harmful, with 40 percent of people choosing “not to know” the consequences of their actions to free themselves of guilt while maximizing their own gains. But we also found that about 40 percent of people are unselfish: rather than avoiding information about the consequences of their actions, they seek it out to increase the benefits to others.
In the experiments, the decisions were made in one of two settings. In the transparent （透明的） setting, decision-makers had information about how their choice would affect themselves and their partner. In an ambiguous （模糊的） setting, decision-makers knew how their choice would matter for themselves but not for their teammate—although they could request that insight.
The overall balance tipped toward selfishness when participants had the option to avoid information. Only 39 percent of people in the ambiguous setting made the choice that ultimately benefited their partner—a significant drop from 55 percent in the transparent condition.
If we can avoid putting a strong moral emphasis on decisions, it may make people feel less threatened and, as a result, be less willfully ignorant. Other research groups have found promising ways to do this. For instance, we could encourage people to think more positively about good deeds rather than guilt-trip them for what they have failed to do. Highlighting recent global achievements, such as healing the ozone （臭氧） layer, can inspire people to keep up the good work rather than feeling like the battle is lost and that the situation is hopeless.
In short, we can encourage one another and ourselves toward more selfless and generous actions.
（ ）32．Why do some people choose not to know the consequences of their actions
A．To make easier choices to be a good person.

Time management can help you stand out in your studies, shine at work, and feel less stressed. But how can you manage your routine effectively It’s actually easier than you’d think. By teaching you a few simple tricks, we’ll show you how to transform your time management skills. 36．______
Before beginning your work load for the day, prioritize. To-do lists are a great tool, but organize them a little rather than just writing down everything that needs to get done. List tasks under each category. For example, if you need to finish a report for work, that would be an urgent task. If you need to begin another work project, but the deadline is not for another two weeks, that would be an “important, but not urgent” task. 37．______
Do not multitask.
Many people assume multitasking is a great way to get more done and manage time wisely. However, focusing on multiple tasks actually makes you less productive. Things will take longer to do, as you’re not giving anything your full attention. Focus completely on one task at a time instead. 38．______
Create the right environment to work.
A work environment can help with your overall productivity. There are no strict rules about a work environment, so pick what feels right for you. 39．______ These feelings will help you stay on task and be productive. For example, a particular artist may inspire you. Invest in a few of their paintings and hang these up on your walls.
Avoid interruptions as much as possible.
Interruptions disrupt your workflow. If you’re in the middle of a task and stop to do something else, it can be hard to get back into work mode. When you’re working on a task, try to complete it before doing something else. For example, if you realize you need to return an e-mail while you’re in the middle of something else, do not stop to return the e-mail. 40．______
A．Do important tasks first.
B．List your tasks in terms of importance.
C．Instead, set it down somewhere and get to it after you finish the task at hand.
D．You will get your work done quicker this way, allowing you to make the most of your time.
E．Surround yourself with inspiring decorations that help you feel enthusiastic and passionate.
F．If you would like to go for a run after work, but it’s not vital, that would be a “low-priority” task.
G．Do your best to avoid interruptions, but do not beat yourself up over the occasional distraction at work.

I’ve been a college professor teaching people how to think more creatively and use more of their brainpower. 41 , this lifetime passion was awakened by a casual contest in my childhood.
At a picnic of my father’s company, they held contests for kids—who threw a cloth handkerchief the farthest this time. I, 13 years old, was full of the spirit of 42 , so I threw myself into the contest, which, I realize now, was not meant to 43 real skills, but simply for laughs. But it stirred my 44 of thinking outside the box.
It disturbed me to see the kids throwing 45 when the handkerchief always opened and stopped. The 46 was not to throw harder but to prevent the cloth from 47 . Suppose I hid a rock in the cloth without tying it. The rock would drive the cloth at least 48 than the others, and when they separated, people might not notice a small rock 49 nearby. I had a good chance of 50 it, but I didn’t want to win by cheating. So I had to make the handkerchief fly like a rock. Like a rock! That was it! I 51 tied knot （结） after knot until it was the size of a large walnut （核桃）, like a strong 52 . I threw hard, and the balled handkerchief rocketed off 60 feet away. All stared at me in 53 and the judge ran to check. “It’s just the 54 ,” he declared, holding it up and untying the knots.
What I learned from this contest was 55 thinking. To live creatively, you have to tap into the less-used parts of your brain.

阅读下面材料，根据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。
On a cold, snowy evening, Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination—the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago, he saw figurines （小雕像） of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to realize his little dream. He was so excited, hardly noticing the world around him, that he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the sidewalk, her back against the wall. He murmured （低语） “sorry” and moved on to his destination.
Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more—all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.
“You like these, true believer ”
Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes…Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot…” the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.”
“Then become one!” said the old man.
“How ” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.”
“And why would you need them ” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy’s face, he squatted （蹲下） and put his hands on Tommy’s arms. “Did you know, that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person—” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.”
The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes, sunk in thought.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I appreciate your initiative to organize an English reading activity to enhance our reading skills. Having surveyed our classmates, I’m now writing to provide you with their feedback and my suggestions.
Firstly, in terms of material selection, it is recommended that a wide range of texts should be available, covering both fiction and non-fiction genres. This allows students to explore different topics and styles, thus fostering a broader interest in reading. As for the reading format, there are two opinions. Some students favor independent reading, arguing that it enables them to work at their own pace and boosts a more personalized learning experience. Others, however, prefer group work, emphasizing the benefits of collaboration and the opportunity to discuss and share insights with peers. To strike a balance, I propose incorporating both, with independent reading sessions occasionally combined with group discussions.
Thank you once again for considering our feedback. With your guidance and our enthusiasm, this reading activity will definitely be a huge success.
Best regards,
Li Hua
读后续写
Possible version:
范文一
Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes, sunk in thought. Finally, raising his head, he announced, “So I am supposed to…” and stopped mid-sentence, realizing he was alone. He turned his head left and right, only to find the old man nowhere to be seen. Tommy sighed heavily--it dawned on him what he should do. He looked at figurines for the last time and moved towards the counter. “Two sandwiches and a cup of tea please,” he said.
The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. Tommy came closer and carefully gave the woman his buys. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, then filled with tears. "Thank you," she whispered. Tommy bowed his head, turned around and headed back home. He was moving faster and faster and finally he started to run. Strange energy filling his body made him feel like he could fly. He smiled happily—it was a wonderful feeling. And nothing could stop it.
范文二
Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes, sunk in thought. The old man’s words revealed what Tommy had never thought of-he himself had the power to be a superhero than those he looked up to. "But what should I do " murmured Tommy as his thoughtful gaze fell on his hard-earned money. Somehow, the homeless woman sitting on the sidewalk flashed across his mind. In a minute, superhero mission took shape. He swirled around and headed towards the shelves on which were piles of food and drinks. Having paid at the counter, Tommy, laden with shopping, made his way to the lady, whose legs he had tripped over.
The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. At the instant, he really looked into her weathered face, bony and pale in her hair. With nervousness in his footsteps, he approached the woman and stopped to lay down the bag gently, “These are for you.” Her gaze, fixed on the street, now locked onto the boy offering a gesture of kindness. It took seconds to understand someone helped her. Tears began to well up in her eyes. “Thank you! You are my hero,” she uttered, voice alive with gratitude and hope. It was such a worthwhile moment that Tommy wouldn’t trade it for the world.

文章大意：研究发现远程合作不利于科学创新，面对面合作更能催生新思想。

解析：在第三段中提到，highly disruptive的研究是那些使早期工作黯然失色并开辟新的研究途径的研究，因此“disruptive”的意思是创新性的，颠覆性的，答案为A。
29．B

32．D
解析：在文章第二段中提到，有些人选择“不知道”他们行为的后果是为了逃避罪恶感，同时最大化自己的利益。因此，他们选择不知道是为了获得最大的利益而不感到羞耻。因此，答案为D。
33．A

文章体裁：说明文
大意：本文是一篇关于提升时间管理效率的说明文，介绍了避免中断的技巧。
36-40 BFDEC
36．B
解析：本段第一句“在开始一天的工作之前，要优先排序”，这表明我们需要对任务进行某种形式的分类或排序。后文举例通过按重要性对任务进行排序，我们可以更清晰地了解哪些任务需要优先处理，哪些可以稍后处理，从而更有效地管理时间。选项B“按重要性列出你的任务”最能综合概括主旨，是最佳标题。
37．F
解析：前文提到了分类任务的重要性，并给出了两个例子：一个紧急任务和一个重要但不紧急的任务。接下来，此处应该继续对任务进行分类的说明，强调不同任务之间的优先级差异。选项F，下班后想去跑步但不是必须的任务，将其定义为“低优先级”任务，正好与前文关于任务分类的论述相呼应。
38．D
解析：标题：不要同时处理多个任务，本段也强调了专注和单一任务处理的重要性。选项D正好是对这一观点的补充和解释。它说明了专注处理单一任务能够带来的好处，即提高工作效率和时间利用率。
39．E
解析：前文提到“工作环境可以帮助提高整体效率，没有严格的规定，所以选择适合自己的”，这表明创造有利于工作的环境是提升效率的一个重要方面。选项E“用鼓舞人心的装饰物包围自己，让自己感到充满热情和激情”正是关于如何创造这样一个环境的建议，而且照应空后的指示代词these（feelings）。
40．C
解析：根据上下文，文章提到“当你在做一项任务时，尽量在做其它事情之前完成它。例如，如果你意识到你需要回复一封电子邮件，而你正在做其它事情，不要停下来回复电子邮件。”这句话强调了避免中断的重要性，因此选项C“相反，把它放在某个地方，等你完成手头的任务后再去处理”与前文内容相符，提出了一个具体的避免中断的方法，即先将中断事项记下，待当前任务完成后再去处理。

M: Excuse me, Miss Penny. I’m having a problem with the English task. Some words are pronounced really fast and sound different.

M: Then what kind of words are stressed
W: Words like nouns, verbs, adjectives should be stressed and we use the strong form for them when we speak. But words like pronouns, articles, prepositions are often not stressed, and we usually use the weak form when we speak.

The piece of music I like by Beethoven is the second movement of his Piano Concerto No. 5．It’s always been my best. As well as it being an incredibly beautiful piece of music, I love the simplicity of the piano part. In particular, I love the purity of the solo passage about a third of the way in. It’s the piece of music my wife walked in to on our wedding, so as well as being a wonderful piece, it reminds me all these memories of my wife looking beautiful on our wedding day. I went to Guildhall School of Music & Dram a when I was younger and thereforelearnt lots about music. Sticking with Beethoven, another favorite piece of mine is the Symphony No. 6．It was one of my dad’s very favourite pieces of music, so again is particularly special to me. Towards the end of the symphony, when we come out of the storm and feel the sunlight breaking through again, it always feels like an inspiring moment for me.
