It may feel unforgivably rude to reject an invitation — even one to an event you would much prefer not to attend—but people often overestimate the social consequences of saying “no”.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to read a scenario (脚本) where they either invited or were invited by one of their friends to dinner on a Saturday night at a local restaurant with a celebrity chef. The participants who were given the invitation were told to imagine they declined because they already had plans during the day and wanted to spend a night at home relaxing. The participants who imagined giving the invitation were told their friends declined for the same reason. “Across our experiments, we consistently found that invitees often overestimate the negative consequences that may arise in the eyes of inviters after declining an invitation,” Julian Givi, a professor said.
In another experiment, the researchers recruited (招募) 160 people to participate in what was called a “couples survey” with their significant other. Of the couples who participated, 4% had been together for less than six months, 1% six to 12 months, 21% one to five years and 74% had been together for more than five years. Regardless of the length of the couples’ relationship, the researchers found that the person who rejected their partner’s invitation to a fun activity tended to believe that their partner would be angrier or more likely to feel as if the rejection meant they did not care about their partner than they actually did.
The researchers believe their findings show people consistently overestimate how upset someone will be when they decline an invitation, even if they have a long-standing, close relationship.
Givi says that people could benefit from turning down invitations on occasion when it could help them avoid burnout, as doing so will not necessarily have the major consequences they expect it will. “Burnout is the real thing, especially around the holidays when we are often invited to too many events,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to turn down invitations once in a while. But, keep in mind that spending time with others is how relationships develop, so don’t decline every invitation.”
4. How did the researchers conduct the first experiment
A. By asking participants to invite their friends.
B. By analyzing the data of declining consequences.
C. By recording the invitation refusals of participants.
D. By offering participants an imaginary life situation.
5. What is the focus of the “couples survey”
A. How partners decline an invitation.
B. What couples care about during an invitation.
C. If relationships affect the refusal of an invitation.
D. Why partners feel angry about the refusal of an invitation.
6. Why does Julian Givi advise people to turn down invitations occasionally
A. To keep away from tiredness. B. To develop their own inner mind.
C. To experience their Individual time. D. To avoid the negative impact on relationships.
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. Send a Proper Invitation B. How to Refuse an Invitation

Although the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games came to an end, the love of winter sports did not simply fade away.
The passion for winter sports continues to burn around the country, especially in Harbin. This attractive city, located in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, earn s its nickname as the “Ice City” due to its frigid temperatures. And now, the news that Harbin has successfully secured the honor of hosting the 2025 Asian Winter Games only serves to intensify the enthusiasm for winter sports in the region.
A report released by Ctrip, a leading travel service provider, further emphasizes the growing enthusiasm for winter sports. Since December 2023, there has been an 86 percent year-on-year increase in ticket bookings for ski resorts across the nation during the New Year holiday period. Notably, when customers from North China and Northeast China were selecting nearby attractions, an average of one person out of every five chose a ski resort.
The boom (突然风靡) in winter sports has not been limited to those people in northern cities, as even the southern provinces! where snow and ice are a rarity, have embraced the allure (诱惑力) of winter sports. Reports from local media highlighted the soaring popularity of indoor ski resorts in Wuhan during the summer season. In the months of June and July, these resorts welcomed an impressive number of visitors, exceeding tens of thousands.
Furthermore, cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen have seen a sudden increase in demand for winter sports experiences. The ice-skating areas in numerous large shopping malls have been operating at near-full capacity during the two summer holiday periods since the conclusion of the Beijing Winter Olympics. It is evident that the appetite for winter sports knows no bounds, as people from all walks of life eagerly seek out these intoxicating (令人陶醉的) activities.
This positive trend not only promises incredible experiences for ice and snow aficionados but also holds great economic potential. As more people engage in winter sports, there will be an increasing demand for related facilities and services, which will, in turn, drive economic growth and create employment opportunities.

C. To show that winter sports only belong to the northerners.
D. To say that indoor sports enjoy great popularity in summer.

A. Fine facilities help make sports appealing to participants.
B People take a fancy to winter sports regardless of their jobs.
C. The love of winter sports goes beyond districts and seasons,
D. The passion for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics still grows.

The consequences of climate change weigh on all of us. Terms such as “climate change anxiety”, “eco-anxiety” and “solastalgia” are regularly used to describe the negative emotional states created by thinking and worrying about climate change and environmental destruction.
Climate fiction, or cli-fi, has been advertised as one of the ways to help save the world, with an emphasis on how imagining our future might make us reconsider our relationship with the natural world. Cli-fi novels often portray dystopian (反乌托邦的) scenarios where humanity barely survives amidst flooded or desolate wastelands, using these apocalyptic visions as warnings to spur action and prevent such dark outcomes. But do dystopian fictions help us engage with the climate crisis An empirical (经验主义的) study of the effects of climate fiction on readers attitudes or actions found little evidence that those who read cli-fi have a stronger engagement with environmental concerns.
Writing about a climate-changed future does more than bring up the anticipated negative emotions. Of course, sitting with the climate crisis is challenging. It demands we wrestle with guilt, shame, responsibility, rage and despair. Clare Moleta said her climate anxiety was a bit more concentrated while writing her novel Unsheltered, but also that the manifestations (表现) of this anxiety were familiar to her; I had waking patches in the night over that time, where I’d be very intensely imagining something and sad about it.
But many of the writers spoke of the writing process as helping, not worsening, their anxiety. For some, writing about climate change gave them a sense of purpose. Jennifer Mills stated that having a book to write gives you something to do. It makes you feel like you have some power over the events that are happening around you.
To imagine the complexity of the lived experience of what lies ahead, and to insist that life will go on and history will keep happening, we need to shift from worrying about the effects of cli-fi texts to thinking about the benefits of writing creatively as we imagine our possible futures. As Mireille Juchau observes, the sense of control when writing on a difficult topic helps to manage anxiety. Whether it’s climate change, or something else, when I’m preoccupied, writing helps put some order into the chaos.
12. How does cli-fi affect readers
A. It enhances their environmental concerns.
B. It fails to inspire their environmental action.
C. It leads to their measurable behavior changes.
D. It strengthens their engagement with climate crisis.
13. What did Clare Moleta experience when writing her novel Unsheltered
A. Great excitement of the plot. B. The sadness over the climate crisis.
C. A long period of sleepless nights. D. A guilt complex of her climate anxiety.
14. What do writers benefit from creating cli-fi
A. Empowering them with a drive to act. B. Helping them reduce anxiety fast in life.
C. Increasing their understanding of history. D. Developing more advanced writing skills.
15. What’s Mireille Juchau’s attitude toward writing cli-fi
A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Disapproving. D. Unclear.

For years Grandpa taught me chess on a well-worn chessboard, the bottom of which was covered with dozens of names and dates.
“What’s this, Grandpa ” I asked one day.
“These are the men from World War I, passing the time with me on the front line. Whenever someone beat me, I let them write their name on it.”
“This fellow, Sergeant Paul Ward, saved me from German soldiers,” Grandpa pointed to a name, “and carried me off the field. While both of us were in hospital, he beat me at chess.”
He handed the chessboard to me saying, “I want you to have it now. That’s the way it is in life: we pass our love on to the next person.
Sadly, it wasn’t long before Grandpa passed away.
Later I volunteered to be the social worker for a retirement community in a park, where I observed elderly residents sitting alone silently, heads down.
Several stone tables in the park had chessboards imprinted on them. One day, I set up my chess pieces and waited.
An elderly man cautiously approached.
“Care for a game ” I cheerfully inquired
The man smiled weakly and sat down.
“Your move... um, didn’t catch your name.”
“Paul,” he said.
“Your move, Paul.”
He hesitated, as if not sure how to proceed. I tried not being aggressive in my play, but only delayed his defeat.
He sighed, “It’s been long since I played. Will you come tomorrow ”
“Yes, and every day after that.”
The next day when I arrived, Paul was already there, playing another elderly gentleman. I set up my pieces on a table waiting for others.
Soon our play extended to a merry club of chess-playing seniors, twenty people showing up each day and many more watching.
I didn’t played Paul after our first game but he came every day playing chess with others.
We ran short of chessboards, so I decided to bring Grandpa’s.
Paul approached once I set up the board. Staring at the chessboard thoughtfully, he said, “How about a rematch ”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右: .
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Once we began, I saw Paul not only have his chess skills refined but also show a change of mental state.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I told Paul Grandpa’s custom about this chessboard and asked him to write his name on the back, Paul smiled and said, "No need.”

The consequences of climate change weigh on all of us. Terms such as “climate change anxiety”, “eco-anxiety” and “solastalgia” are regularly used to describe the negative emotional states created by thinking and worrying about climate change and environmental destruction.
Climate fiction, or cli-fi, has been advertised as one of the ways to help save the world, with an emphasis on how imagining our future might make us reconsider our relationship with the natural world. Cli-fi novels often portray dystopian (反乌托邦的) scenarios where humanity barely survives amidst flooded or desolate wastelands, using these apocalyptic visions as warnings to spur action and prevent such dark outcomes. But do dystopian fictions help us engage with the climate crisis An empirical (经验主义的) study of the effects of climate fiction on readers attitudes or actions found little evidence that those who read cli-fi have a stronger engagement with environmental concerns.
Writing about a climate-changed future does more than bring up the anticipated negative emotions. Of course, sitting with the climate crisis is challenging. It demands we wrestle with guilt, shame, responsibility, rage and despair. Clare Moleta said her climate anxiety was a bit more concentrated while writing her novel Unsheltered, but also that the manifestations (表现) of this anxiety were familiar to her; I had waking patches in the night over that time, where I’d be very intensely imagining something and sad about it.
But many of the writers spoke of the writing process as helping, not worsening, their anxiety. For some, writing about climate change gave them a sense of purpose. Jennifer Mills stated that having a book to write gives you something to do. It makes you feel like you have some power over the events that are happening around you.
To imagine the complexity of the lived experience of what lies ahead, and to insist that life will go on and history will keep happening, we need to shift from worrying about the effects of cli-fi texts to thinking about the benefits of writing creatively as we imagine our possible futures. As Mireille Juchau observes, the sense of control when writing on a difficult topic helps to manage anxiety. Whether it’s climate change, or something else, when I’m preoccupied, writing helps put some order into the chaos.
12. How does cli-fi affect readers
A. It enhances their environmental concerns.
B. It fails to inspire their environmental action.
C. It leads to their measurable behavior changes.
D. It strengthens their engagement with climate crisis.
13. What did Clare Moleta experience when writing her novel Unsheltered
A. Great excitement of the plot. B. The sadness over the climate crisis.
C. A long period of sleepless nights. D. A guilt complex of her climate anxiety.
14. What do writers benefit from creating cli-fi
A. Empowering them with a drive to act. B. Helping them reduce anxiety fast in life.
C. Increasing their understanding of history. D. Developing more advanced writing skills.
15. What’s Mireille Juchau’s attitude toward writing cli-fi

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
For years Grandpa taught me chess on a well-worn chessboard, the bottom of which was covered with dozens of names and dates.
“What’s this, Grandpa ” I asked one day.
“These are the men from World War I, passing the time with me on the front line. Whenever someone beat me, I let them write their name on it.”
“This fellow, Sergeant Paul Ward, saved me from German soldiers,” Grandpa pointed to a name, “and carried me off the field. While both of us were in hospital, he beat me at chess.”
He handed the chessboard to me saying, “I want you to have it now. That’s the way it is in life: we pass our love on to the next person.
Sadly, it wasn’t long before Grandpa passed away.
Later I volunteered to be the social worker for a retirement community in a park, where I observed elderly residents sitting alone silently, heads down.
Several stone tables in the park had chessboards imprinted on them. One day, I set up my chess pieces and waited.
An elderly man cautiously approached.
“Care for a game ” I cheerfully inquired.
The man smiled weakly and sat down.
“Your move... um, didn’t catch your name.”
“Paul,” he said.
“Your move, Paul.”
He hesitated, as if not sure how to proceed. I tried not being aggressive in my play, but only delayed his defeat.
He sighed, “It’s been long since I played. Will you come tomorrow ”
“Yes, and every day after that.”
The next day when I arrived, Paul was already there, playing another elderly gentleman. I set up my pieces on a table waiting for others.
Soon our play extended to a merry club of chess-playing seniors, twenty people showing up each day and many more watching.
I didn’t played Paul after our first game but he came every day playing chess with others.
We ran short of chessboards, so I decided to bring Grandpa’s.
Paul approached once I set up the board. Staring at the chessboard thoughtfully, he said, “How about a rematch ”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右: .

Once we began, I saw Paul not only have his chess skills refined but also show a change of mental state.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I told Paul Grandpa’s custom about this chessboard and asked him to write his name on the back, Paul smiled and said, "No need.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Once we began, I saw Paul not only have his chess skills refined but also show a change of mental state. He had excellent performance, employing an effective planning method that helped him come up with a good strategy in almost any position. A few minutes later, I was defeated/checkmated. Looking me in the eye, he swept a trembling hand over the board and said, “Before you came along, I’d had my life given up. But since I played with you, I’ve reconnected with old friends and made new ones. The chess club may have saved my life.”
When I told Paul Grandpa’s custom about this chessboard and asked him to write his name on the back, he smiled and said, “No need.” He went on, “My Last name’s Ward. Paul Ward. It’s on the upper right-hand corner of the chessboard. Find it.” I flipped the chessboard over and there it was: Sergeant Paul Ward 6/10/44. What a coincidence! At that moment, Grandpa’s words flooded over me — “This fellow … carried me off the field.” Paul Ward was the very soldier who had saved my grandfather’s life. And now, years later, Grandpa’s love and passion for chess had returned the favor. As the saying goes, one good turn deserves another.

It may feel unforgivably rude to reject an invitation — even one to an event you would much prefer not to attend—but people often overestimate the social consequences of saying “no”.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to read a scenario (脚本) where they either invited or were invited by one of their friends to dinner on a Saturday night at a local restaurant with a celebrity chef. The participants who were given the invitation were told to imagine they declined because they already had plans during the day and wanted to spend a night at home relaxing. The participants who imagined giving the invitation were told their friends declined for the same reason. “Across our experiments, we consistently found that invitees often overestimate the negative consequences that may arise in the eyes of inviters after declining an invitation,” Julian Givi, a professor said.
In another experiment, the researchers recruited (招募) 160 people to participate in what was called a “couples survey” with their significant other. Of the couples who participated, 4% had been together for less than six months, 1% six to 12 months, 21% one to five years and 74% had been together for more than five years. Regardless of the length of the couples’ relationship, the researchers found that the person who rejected their partner’s invitation to a fun activity tended to believe that their partner would be angrier or more likely to feel as if the rejection meant they did not care about their partner than they actually did.
The researchers believe their findings show people consistently overestimate how upset someone will be when they decline an invitation, even if they have a long-standing, close relationship.
Givi says that people could benefit from turning down invitations on occasion when it could help them avoid burnout, as doing so will not necessarily have the major consequences they expect it will. “Burnout is the real thing, especially around the holidays when we are often invited to too many events,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to turn down invitations once in a while. But, keep in mind that spending time with others is how relationships develop, so don’t decline every invitation.”
4. How did the researchers conduct the first experiment
A. By asking participants to invite their friends.
B. By analyzing the data of declining consequences.
C. By recording the invitation refusals of participants.
D. By offering participants an imaginary life situation.
5. What is the focus of the “couples survey”
A. How partners decline an invitation.
B. What couples care about during an invitation.
C. If relationships affect the refusal of an invitation.
D. Why partners feel angry about the refusal of an invitation.
6. Why does Julian Givi advise people to turn down invitations occasionally
A. To keep away from tiredness. B. To develop their own inner mind.
C. To experience their Individual time. D. To avoid the negative impact on relationships.
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. Send a Proper Invitation B. How to Refuse an Invitation
C. Decline in a Polite Way D. Say “No” to That Invitation
C

The passion for winter sports continues to burn around the country, especially in Harbin. This attractive city, located in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, earn s its nickname as the “Ice City” due to its frigid temperatures. And now, the news that Harbin has successfully secured the honor of hosting the 2025 Asian Winter Games only serves to intensify the enthusiasm for winter sports in the region.
A report released by Ctrip, a leading travel service provider, further emphasizes the growing enthusiasm for winter sports. Since December 2023, there has been an 86 percent year-on-year increase in ticket bookings for ski resorts across the nation during the New Year holiday period. Notably, when customers from North China and Northeast China were selecting nearby attractions, an average of one person out of every five chose a ski resort.
The boom (突然风靡) in winter sports has not been limited to those people in northern cities, as even the southern provinces! where snow and ice are a rarity, have embraced the allure (诱惑力) of winter sports. Reports from local media highlighted the soaring popularity of indoor ski resorts in Wuhan during the summer season. In the months of June and July, these resorts welcomed an impressive number of visitors, exceeding tens of thousands.
Furthermore, cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen have seen a sudden increase in demand for winter sports experiences.

It is evident that the appetite for winter sports knows no bounds, as people from all walks of life eagerly seek out these intoxicating (令人陶醉的) activities.
This positive trend not only promises incredible experiences for ice and snow aficionados but also holds great economic potential. As more people engage in winter sports, there will be an increasing demand for related facilities and services, which will, in turn, drive economic growth and create employment opportunities.

For years Grandpa taught me chess on a well-worn chessboard, the bottom of which was covered with dozens of names and dates.
“What’s this, Grandpa ” I asked one day.
“These are the men from World War I, passing the time with me on the front line. Whenever someone beat me, I let them write their name on it.”
“This fellow, Sergeant Paul Ward, saved me from German soldiers,” Grandpa pointed to a name, “and carried me off the field. While both of us were in hospital, he beat me at chess.”
He handed the chessboard to me saying, “I want you to have it now. That’s the way it is in life: we pass our love on to the next person.
Sadly, it wasn’t long before Grandpa passed away.
Later I volunteered to be the social worker for a retirement community in a park, where I observed elderly residents sitting alone silently, heads down.
Several stone tables in the park had chessboards imprinted on them. One day, I set up my chess pieces and waited.
An elderly man cautiously approached.
“Care for a game ” I cheerfully inquired
The man smiled weakly and sat down.
“Your move... um, didn’t catch your name.”
“Paul,” he said.
“Your move, Paul.”
He hesitated, as if not sure how to proceed. I tried not being aggressive in my play, but only delayed his defeat.
He sighed, “It’s been long since I played. Will you come tomorrow ”
“Yes, and every day after that.”
The next day when I arrived, Paul was already there, playing another elderly gentleman. I set up my pieces on a table waiting for others.
Soon our play extended to a merry club of chess-playing seniors, twenty people showing up each day and many more watching.
I didn’t played Paul after our first game but he came every day playing chess with others.
We ran short of chessboards, so I decided to bring Grandpa’s.
Paul approached once I set up the board. Staring at the chessboard thoughtfully, he said, “How about a rematch ”

It may feel unforgivably rude to reject an invitation — even one to an event you would much prefer not to attend—but people often overestimate the social consequences of saying “no”.
In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to read a scenario (脚本) where they either invited or were invited by one of their friends to dinner on a Saturday night at a local restaurant with a celebrity chef. The participants who were given the invitation were told to imagine they declined because they already had plans during the day and wanted to spend a night at home relaxing. The participants who imagined giving the invitation were told their friends declined for the same reason. “Across our experiments, we consistently found that invitees often overestimate the negative consequences that may arise in the eyes of inviters after declining an invitation,” Julian Givi, a professor said.
In another experiment, the researchers recruited (招募) 160 people to participate in what was called a “couples survey” with their significant other. Of the couples who participated, 4% had been together for less than six months, 1% six to 12 months, 21% one to five years and 74% had been together for more than five years. Regardless of the length of the couples’ relationship, the researchers found that the person who rejected their partner’s invitation to a fun activity tended to believe that their partner would be angrier or more likely to feel as if the rejection meant they did not care about their partner than they actually did.
The researchers believe their findings show people consistently overestimate how upset someone will be when they decline an invitation, even if they have a long-standing, close relationship.
Givi says that people could benefit from turning down invitations on occasion when it could help them avoid burnout, as doing so will not necessarily have the major consequences they expect it will. “Burnout is the real thing, especially around the holidays when we are often invited to too many events,” he said. “Don’t be afraid to turn down invitations once in a while. But, keep in mind that spending time with others is how relationships develop, so don’t decline every invitation.”
4. How did the researchers conduct the first experiment
A. By asking participants to invite their friends.
B. By analyzing the data of declining consequences.
C. By recording the invitation refusals of participants.
D. By offering participants an imaginary life situation.
5. What is the focus of the “couples survey”
A. How partners decline an invitation.
B. What couples care about during an invitation.
C. If relationships affect the refusal of an invitation.
D. Why partners feel angry about the refusal of an invitation.
6. Why does Julian Givi advise people to turn down invitations occasionally
A. To keep away from tiredness. B. To develop their own inner mind.
C. To experience their Individual time. D. To avoid the negative impact on relationships.
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. Send a Proper Invitation B. How to Refuse an Invitation
C. Decline in a Polite Way D. Say “No” to That Invitation

Although the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games came to an end, the love of winter sports did not simply fade away.
The passion for winter sports continues to burn around the country especially in Harbin. This attractive city, located in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, earn s its nickname as the “Ice City” due to its frigid temperatures. And now, the news that Harbin has successfully secured the honor of hosting the 2025 Asian Winter Games only serves to intensify the enthusiasm for winter sports in the region.
A report released by Ctrip, a leading travel service provider, further emphasizes the growing enthusiasm for winter sports. Since December 2023, there has been an 86 percent year-on-year increase in ticket bookings for ski resorts across the nation during the New Year holiday period. Notably, when customers from North China and Northeast China were selecting nearby attractions, an average of one person out of every five chose a ski resort.
The boom (突然风靡) in winter sports has not been limited to those people in northern cities, as even the southern provinces! where snow and ice are a rarity, have embraced the allure (诱惑力) of winter sports. Reports from local media highlighted the soaring popularity of indoor ski resorts in Wuhan during the summer season. In the months of June and July, these resorts welcomed an impressive number of visitors, exceeding tens of thousands.
Furthermore, cities like Guangzhou and Shenzhen have seen a sudden increase in demand for winter sports experiences. The ice-skating areas in numerous large shopping malls have been operating at near-full capacity during the two summer holiday periods since the conclusion of the Beijing Winter Olympics. It is evident that the appetite for winter sports knows no bounds, as people from all walks of life eagerly seek out these intoxicating (令人陶醉的) activities.
This positive trend not only promises incredible experiences for ice and snow aficionados but also holds great economic potential. As more people engage in winter sports, there will be an increasing demand for related facilities and services, which will, in turn, drive economic growth and create employment opportunities.

B. To prove the boom in winter sports in southern provinces.
C. To show that winter sports only belong to the northerners.
D. To say that indoor sports enjoy great popularity in summer.

The consequences of climate change weigh on all of us. Terms such as “climate change anxiety”, “eco-anxiety” and “solastalgia” are regularly used to describe the negative emotional states created by thinking and worrying about climate change and environmental destruction.
Climate fiction, or cli-fi, has been advertised as one of the ways to help save the world, with an emphasis on how imagining our future might make us reconsider our relationship with the natural world. Cli-fi novels often portray dystopian (反乌托邦的) scenarios where humanity barely survives amidst flooded or desolate wastelands, using these apocalyptic visions as warnings to spur action and prevent such dark outcomes. But do dystopian fictions help us engage with the climate crisis An empirical (经验主义的) study of the effects of climate fiction on readers attitudes or actions found little evidence that those who read cli-fi have a stronger engagement with environmental concerns.
Writing about a climate-changed future does more than bring up the anticipated negative emotions. Of course, sitting with the climate crisis is challenging. It demands we wrestle with guilt, shame, responsibility, rage and despair. Clare Moleta said her climate anxiety was a bit more concentrated while writing her novel Unsheltered, but also that the manifestations (表现) of this anxiety were familiar to her; I had waking patches in the night over that time, where I’d be very intensely imagining something and sad about it.
But many of the writers spoke of the writing process as helping, not worsening, their anxiety. For some, writing about climate change gave them a sense of purpose. Jennifer Mills stated that having a book to write gives you something to do. It makes you feel like you have some power over the events that are happening around you.
To imagine the complexity of the lived experience of what lies ahead, and to insist that life will go on and history will keep happening, we need to shift from worrying about the effects of cli-fi texts to thinking about the benefits of writing creatively as we imagine our possible futures. As Mireille Juchau observes, the sense of control when writing on a difficult topic helps to manage anxiety. Whether it’s climate change, or something else, when I’m preoccupied, writing helps put some order into the chaos.
12. How does cli-fi affect readers
A. It enhances their environmental concerns.
B. It fails to inspire their environmental action.
C. It leads to their measurable behavior changes.
D. It strengthens their engagement with climate crisis.
13. What did Clare Moleta experience when writing her novel Unsheltered
A. Great excitement of the plot. B. The sadness over the climate crisis.
C. A long period of sleepless nights. D. A guilt complex of her climate anxiety.
14. What do writers benefit from creating cli-fi
A. Empowering them with a drive to act. B. Helping them reduce anxiety fast in life.
C. Increasing their understanding of history. D. Developing more advanced writing skills.
15. What’s Mireille Juchau’s attitude toward writing cli-fi
A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Disapproving. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. A

【答案】One possible version:
Once we began, I saw Paul not only have his chess skills refined but also show a change of mental state. He had excellent performance, employing an effective planning method that helped him come up with a good strategy in almost any position. A few minutes later, I was defeated/checkmated. Looking me in the eye, he swept a trembling hand over the board and said, “Before you came along, I’d had my life given up. But since I played with you, I’ve reconnected with old friends and made new ones. The chess club may have saved my life.”
When I told Paul Grandpa’s custom about this chessboard and asked him to write his name on the back, he smiled and said, “No need.” He went on, “My Last name’s Ward. Paul Ward. It’s on the upper right-hand corner of the chessboard. Find it.” I flipped the chessboard over and there it was: Sergeant Paul Ward 6/10/44. What a coincidence! At that moment, Grandpa’s words flooded over me — “This fellow … carried me off the field.” Paul Ward was the very soldier who had saved my grandfather’s life. And now, years later, Grandpa’s love and passion for chess had returned the favor. As the saying goes, one good turn deserves another.
