As a child of a Chinese mother and a British father, young Lily had always been fascinated by the richness of her double heritage. However, it wasn’t until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture. One particular experience stood out: her first encounter with the art of Chinese tea.
Lily had grown up with the pleasant smell of tea floating through her home, a legacy of her mother’s Chinese roots. Yet, it was in the ancient teahouses of Hangzhou that she discovered the soul of Chinese tea culture. There, amidst the gentle rustle of bamboo and the soft murmur of conversation, she observed the ritualistic preparation of tea, a process as natural as the flow of the streams she had once explored in the English countryside.
Her mother, an expert in Chinese teas, introduced Lily to the subtleties of tasting. Why do certain leaves unfold to reveal hidden flavors Which teas can capture the essence of a mountain mist or a summer breeze With each sip, Lily felt a connection to her ancestral home, a bond that went beyond language and tradition.
The journey of tea from leaf to cup became a metaphor for Lily’s own journey of self-discovery. She decided to pursue a better understanding of the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient drink for centuries. She would later refer to this pursuit as her “cultural eco-journey.”
The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the great care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step showing the harmony between human skill and natural bounty.
She was deeply attracted by the results. The tea she tasted was not just a drink; it was a story, a history, and a tradition that had been passed down through generations. Within moments, the flavors unfolded in her mouth, demonstrating the purity and wisdom of Chinese tea culture.
Over time, Lily has dipped deeper into the world of tea. She has explored the tea ceremonies of various regions, each with its unique customs and significance. She also discovered the therapeutic properties of tea, how it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health and well-being.
“Cultural immersion” is what Lily calls her approach to understanding her heritage. “The world is a treasure trove of experiences for the curious,” she says. “You immerse yourself in new cultures and observe the traditions. Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world.”
24．What can we learn about Lily from the first two paragraphs
A．She was curious about her double heritage. B．She preferred the British lifestyle.
C．She had a deep interest in tea. D．She longed to visit China.
25．Why did Lily visit the tea gardens and workshops
A．To learn about the tea-making process. B．To find the perfect cup of tea.
C．To understand the cultural significance of tea. D．To test her knowledge of Chinese tea.
26．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Longjing
A．To review Lily’s cultural journey.
B．To show an application of Lily’s interest in tea.
C．To compare different tea regions in China.
D．To remove doubts about the quality of Chinese tea.
27．What is the basis for Lily’s cultural exploration
A．The desire to connect with her Chinese roots.
B．The belief in the therapeutic properties of tea.
C．The fascination with the art of tea preparation.
D．The curiosity about the cultural significance of tea.

Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate(震动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University.
VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible BioEleotronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science Journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30 minutes of VIBES activity, pigs consumed on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the hypothalamus(下丘脑) to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid(胃液) breaking down a coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste.
The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it.
“Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and calorie consumption. The device functions effectively in the stomach and leading to fullness,” said Giovanni Traverso, coauthor of the study. “The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients.”
Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials in humans.
28．What is the outcome of taking the pill
A．Liquid production. B．Food storage.
C．Sensation of fullness. D．Recovery of users.
29．Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2
A．Its working principle. B．Its intelligence.
C．Its testing history. D．Its side effect.
30．What is the researchers’ ultimate goal of the device
A．To produce gastric fluid with it. B．To destroy the coat around it.
C．To integrate it into the human body. D．To remove solid waste from it.
31．What is Giovanni Traverso’s attitude towards the future of the device
A．Worried. B．Cautious. C．Doubtful. D．Confused.
D
What strategy do you use to make tough life decisions like whether to end a relationship, quit your job, or go back to school Maybe you weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Maybe you go with your sixth sense. Or maybe, if you’re like most people, you simply do nothing. After all, we have a tendency to prefer the status quo, and focus more on the potential losses involved with change rather than the potential benefits.
But here’s a simpler strategy: When you’re indecisive about a big life decision, choose the path of change. That’s the takeaway(要点) of research recently published by Steven Levitt, an economist at the University of Chicago.
For the study, Levitt asked people who were facing tough decisions to toss a digital coin on the website . The coin tosses were randomized, with one side representing change, the other status quo. The study asked more than 20,000 participants to make whichever decision the coin toss directed, and then report back on how things played out after two and six months.
Of course, not everyone followed through. The two-month survey found that participants chose change less frequently than they had initially predicted they would. After six months, however, this tendency toward inaction disappeared. But the most surprising were the results on well-being. At both the two and six- month marks, most people who chose change reported feeling happier, better off, and that they had made the correct decision.
The study had some limitations. One is that its participants weren’t selected randomly. Another limitation is that participants whose decision didn’t play out well might have been less likely to report back on their status after two and six months. Still the study does suggest that people who are on the edge of a tough decision are probably better off going with change. Levitt isn’t suggesting you toss a coin to make all decisions. But coin-tossing does seem to have some benefits. Levitt notes that some people might prefer giving in to their fate to randomness in order to avoid regret. But you can also use randomness a bit more sensibly. When facing a tough decision, you could toss a coin and, upon seeing the outcome, notice whether you feel relief or fright. If you feel relieved, that’s probably the path you should choose.
32．What is most people’s priority when making hard choices
A．Valuing potential benefits. B．Calculating potential losses.
C．Making a change to the status quo. D．Following inner voice of one’s mind.
33．What are the findings of the two surveys
A．More participants remained inactive after six months.
B．Making changes brought most participants happiness.
C．Participants’ action agreed with their initial prediction.
D．All participants gave immediate feedback on their status.
34．What is a limitation of the study
A．The insufficiency of study statistics. B．The insensible outcome of the analysis.
C．The incorrect method of tossing a coin. D．The randomness of picking study subjects.
35．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Tossing coins is beneficial to making hard choices.
B．A study offers a strategy for making hard decisions.
C．When facing a hard decision, choose the status quo.
D．A study justifies making hard choices with randomness.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu(即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers.
36 What do you want your audience to know How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 37 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 38 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 39 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 40 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A．Identify a communication goal.
B．He knows most who speaks least.
C．Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
D．It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
E．We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
F．A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
G．Most people get caught up in what to say during impromptu encounters.

I jumped into my mother’s car, shut the door and poured out my recent trouble. “Jenny is playing her mind games again. Training is less tiring than dealing with her and her feelings,” I complained.
Jenny and I were co-captains of our cross-country team. We’d been training for the coming tournament for weeks: stretching, running, and making the seven of us into a team. Jenny, with exceptional running talent, always had a way to get ahead of her competitors on the course. She also helped all of us run faster and cheered us on. It seemed that she was anticipating the final show.
However, this week, her attitude shifted. She kept making excuses not to run with the team, from aching legs to headaches. I had to beg her, telling her repeatedly that the team couldn’t do without her. It went on all day and I was worn out. What’s her deal
Mom pulled into our driveway, and turned toward me, “Well, I know a little about Jenny. She and her little brother have been together in foster care(寄养抚养). So close were they that every time they moved, Jenny would say that as long as they were together, they had a family.” My heart sank as Mom continued, “Jenny’s stepfather came for her brother this week, with gifts, hugs and big plans for their future. But Jenny wasn’t even part of his big plans.” My chest felt tight. “Poor Jenny, not to have a family.” I was close to tears. My mother patted my knee. “That’s it, honey. You got it.” And I did.
I decided that I should do something. I proposed that we organize a team gathering before the tournament. Each member was to write a heartfelt message for every teammate and prepare a special gift for the one they felt most connected to. I made sure that Jenny would come. It took some persuading, though.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. The day of the tournament arrived.

With a heavy heart, I kicked things off, emphasizing our bond as a team.【高分句型一】My gift for Jenny was a photo of our team, with everyone applauding her for taking first place. Gradually, our teammates showered each other with encouraging words and gifts. “To our captains, you are the rock!” Words like this eased the tension and warmed our hearts.

As a child of a Chinese mother and a British father, young Lily had always been fascinated by the richness of her double heritage. However, it wasn’t until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture. One particular experience stood out: her first encounter with the art of Chinese tea.
Lily had grown up with the pleasant smell of tea floating through her home, a legacy of her mother’s Chinese roots. Yet, it was in the ancient teahouses of Hangzhou that she discovered the soul of Chinese tea culture. There, amidst the gentle rustle of bamboo and the soft murmur of conversation, she observed the ritualistic preparation of tea, a process as natural as the flow of the streams she had once explored in the English countryside.
Her mother, an expert in Chinese teas, introduced Lily to the subtleties of tasting. Why do certain leaves unfold to reveal hidden flavors Which teas can capture the essence of a mountain mist or a summer breeze With each sip, Lily felt a connection to her ancestral home, a bond that went beyond language and tradition.
The journey of tea from leaf to cup became a metaphor for Lily’s own journey of self-discovery. She decided to pursue a better understanding of the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient drink for centuries. She would later refer to this pursuit as her “cultural eco-journey.”
The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the great care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step showing the harmony between human skill and natural bounty.
She was deeply attracted by the results. The tea she tasted was not just a drink; it was a story, a history, and a tradition that had been passed down through generations. Within moments, the flavors unfolded in her mouth, demonstrating the purity and wisdom of Chinese tea culture.
Over time, Lily has dipped deeper into the world of tea. She has explored the tea ceremonies of various regions, each with its unique customs and significance. She also discovered the therapeutic properties of tea, how it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health and well-being.
“Cultural immersion” is what Lily calls her approach to understanding her heritage. “The world is a treasure trove of experiences for the curious,” she says. “You immerse yourself in new cultures and observe the traditions. Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world.”
24．What can we learn about Lily from the first two paragraphs
A．She was curious about her double heritage. B．She preferred the British lifestyle.
C．She had a deep interest in tea. D．She longed to visit China.
25．Why did Lily visit the tea gardens and workshops
A．To learn about the tea-making process. B．To find the perfect cup of tea.
C．To understand the cultural significance of tea. D．To test her knowledge of Chinese tea.
26．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Longjing
A．To review Lily’s cultural journey.
B．To show an application of Lily’s interest in tea.
C．To compare different tea regions in China.
D．To remove doubts about the quality of Chinese tea.
27．What is the basis for Lily’s cultural exploration
A．The desire to connect with her Chinese roots.
B．The belief in the therapeutic properties of tea.
C．The fascination with the art of tea preparation.
D．The curiosity about the cultural significance of tea.

Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate(震动) once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full. The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University.
VIBES, short for Vibrating Ingestible BioEleotronic Stimulator, was only recently made public in a study published in the Science Journal, but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans, trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results. After about 30 minutes of VIBES activity, pigs consumed on average almost 40 percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill. Apparently, the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach, modeling the presence of food. This in turn signals the hypothalamus(下丘脑) to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full. The vibrating stimulator, which is about the size of a vitamin pill, is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid(胃液) breaking down a coat around the pill, or by an incorporated timer. After producing the desired effect, the pill exits the body with other solid waste.
The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range, and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it.
“Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost, non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and calorie consumption. The device functions effectively in the stomach and leading to fullness,” said Giovanni Traverso, coauthor of the study. “The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However, future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients.”
Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials in humans.
28．What is the outcome of taking the pill
A．Liquid production. B．Food storage.
C．Sensation of fullness. D．Recovery of users.
29．Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph 2
A．Its working principle. B．Its intelligence.
C．Its testing history. D．Its side effect.
30．What is the researchers’ ultimate goal of the device
A．To produce gastric fluid with it. B．To destroy the coat around it.
C．To integrate it into the human body. D．To remove solid waste from it.
31．What is Giovanni Traverso’s attitude towards the future of the device
A．Worried. B．Cautious. C．Doubtful. D．Confused.

What strategy do you use to make tough life decisions like whether to end a relationship, quit your job, or go back to school Maybe you weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Maybe you go with your sixth sense. Or maybe, if you’re like most people, you simply do nothing. After all, we have a tendency to prefer the status quo, and focus more on the potential losses involved with change rather than the potential benefits.
But here’s a simpler strategy: When you’re indecisive about a big life decision, choose the path of change. That’s the takeaway(要点) of research recently published by Steven Levitt, an economist at the University of Chicago.
For the study, Levitt asked people who were facing tough decisions to toss a digital coin on the website . The coin tosses were randomized, with one side representing change, the other status quo. The study asked more than 20,000 participants to make whichever decision the coin toss directed, and then report back on how things played out after two and six months.
Of course, not everyone followed through. The two-month survey found that participants chose change less frequently than they had initially predicted they would. After six months, however, this tendency toward inaction disappeared. But the most surprising were the results on well-being. At both the two and six- month marks, most people who chose change reported feeling happier, better off, and that they had made the correct decision.
The study had some limitations. One is that its participants weren’t selected randomly. Another limitation is that participants whose decision didn’t play out well might have been less likely to report back on their status after two and six months. Still the study does suggest that people who are on the edge of a tough decision are probably better off going with change. Levitt isn’t suggesting you toss a coin to make all decisions. But coin-tossing does seem to have some benefits. Levitt notes that some people might prefer giving in to their fate to randomness in order to avoid regret. But you can also use randomness a bit more sensibly. When facing a tough decision, you could toss a coin and, upon seeing the outcome, notice whether you feel relief or fright. If you feel relieved, that’s probably the path you should choose.
32．What is most people’s priority when making hard choices
A．Valuing potential benefits. B．Calculating potential losses.
C．Making a change to the status quo. D．Following inner voice of one’s mind.
33．What are the findings of the two surveys
A．More participants remained inactive after six months.
B．Making changes brought most participants happiness.
C．Participants’ action agreed with their initial prediction.
D．All participants gave immediate feedback on their status.
34．What is a limitation of the study
A．The insufficiency of study statistics. B．The insensible outcome of the analysis.
C．The incorrect method of tossing a coin. D．The randomness of picking study subjects.
35．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Tossing coins is beneficial to making hard choices.
B．A study offers a strategy for making hard decisions.
C．When facing a hard decision, choose the status quo.
D．A study justifies making hard choices with randomness.

While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu(即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers.
36 What do you want your audience to know How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 37 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 38 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 39 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 40 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A．Identify a communication goal.
B．He knows most who speaks least.
C．Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
D．It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
E．We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
F．A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
G．Most people get caught up in what to say during impromptu encounters.

I jumped into my mother’s car, shut the door and poured out my recent trouble. “Jenny is playing her mind games again. Training is less tiring than dealing with her and her feelings,” I complained.
Jenny and I were co-captains of our cross-country team. We’d been training for the coming tournament for weeks: stretching, running, and making the seven of us into a team. Jenny, with exceptional running talent, always had a way to get ahead of her competitors on the course. She also helped all of us run faster and cheered us on. It seemed that she was anticipating the final show.
However, this week, her attitude shifted. She kept making excuses not to run with the team, from aching legs to headaches. I had to beg her, telling her repeatedly that the team couldn’t do without her. It went on all day and I was worn out. What’s her deal
Mom pulled into our driveway, and turned toward me, “Well, I know a little about Jenny. She and her little brother have been together in foster care(寄养抚养). So close were they that every time they moved, Jenny would say that as long as they were together, they had a family.” My heart sank as Mom continued, “Jenny’s stepfather came for her brother this week, with gifts, hugs and big plans for their future. But Jenny wasn’t even part of his big plans.” My chest felt tight. “Poor Jenny, not to have a family.” I was close to tears. My mother patted my knee. “That’s it, honey. You got it.” And I did.
I decided that I should do something. I proposed that we organize a team gathering before the tournament. Each member was to write a heartfelt message for every teammate and prepare a special gift for the one they felt most connected to. I made sure that Jenny would come. It took some persuading, though.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. The day of the tournament arrived.
