I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special.
In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Portter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However. I eventually had to accept the fact that if I wanted to read the series. I would have to read my parents’ copies. So I began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.
When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like.
Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph
A. She felt uneasy about owning old books.
B. She had a bad relationship with her parents.
C. She was passionate for reading classics.
D. She was often gifted old books by her parents.
5. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade
A. Confused. B. Inspired. C. Discouraged. D. Astonished.
6. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3
A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books.
B. She began to ignore the appearance of the books.
C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf.
D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. My Passion for Reading
B. My Connection with Parents via Old Books
C. My Encounter with the Harry Potter Series
D. My Journey with Old Books
C
When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their faces look like pure joy. Across the world, customers stream into their favorite spots to meet with friends and enjoy these tasty drinks.
In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry were concerned: with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies This was the question that Serenitea, a Manila-based milk-tea company faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog.
Unsure of what consumers, truly felt towards the drink, they offered as many flavors as possible. They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitor. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate (引起共鸣)
Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer “why”. The agency; conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they investigated the consumer’s deeper emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea led to three consistent psychological responses.
People were connected to milk through the concept of nurturing (养育); they fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had indigestion (消化不良) problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological benefits of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By including them into the core of their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path.
8. What do the underlined words “earned a foothold” mean in paragraph 2
A. Made an adjustment. B. Won a position.
C. Lost the initiative. D. Achieved a breakthrough.
9. What was Serenitea’s main concern in 2014
A. Being confused with other brands.
B. The rapid growth of milk tea brands
C. The possibility of milk tea catching on.
D. Falling behind the changing consumer tastes.
10. What does CIA Bootleg Manila specialize in
A. Product packaging design. B. Market expansion strategies.
C. Analysis of customer psychology D. Flavor innovation and development.
11. Which of the following was a finding of the research
A. Milk tea was popular among patients.
B. Customers found all milk tea identical.
C. Customers associated milk tea with health.
D. Milk tea brands ignored consumers’ feelings.
D
As the saying goes practice makes perfect. While it may sound like good advice, it’s not the best or fastest path because practice can only get you so far, says Scott Young, author of Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery.
“Practice is not a cure- all.” Young explains. “It doesn’t necessarily improve your skills but rather makes them more automatic and fluent.” In his book, Young clarifies this concept with the game Tetris where players fit falling blocks to complete lines. The more you practice the faster and more accurate you become at placing the blocks. However, simply practicing doesn’t guarantee higher scores. To reach higher proficiency (精通度), one must go beyond repetitive practice and use the correct techniques.
Young said, “It’s important to do the correct technique from the beginning. That’s why piano teachers and tennis coaches prefer to train someone who has had no experience rather than someone who has had a lot of experience. By starting with the correct techniques, beginners can grasp skills more quickly. Without established habits to break, they are more likely to build a strong base for long- term improvement.”
Malcolm Gladwell popularized the 10,000- hour rule in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, suggesting that proficiency in any field requires about 10,000 hours of practice. Yet Anders Ericsson, whose research was a big inspiration for this concept, disagreed. He argued for the idea of deliberate practice, which was not just practice but practice under the guidance with immediate feedback (反馈) about your performance. He stressed that learning from outcomes through corrective feedback is essential for developing true proficiency, otherwise you just spend time getting fluency and confidence.
Getting high- quality feedback will depend on how you ask for it. Simply asking someone “What do you think ” is not enough. “There’s just no way in our social network that someone could give you really honest feedback and not cause harm to the relationship,” Young says. Instead, he suggests asking, “It you were going to make this better, what would you do ” By asking how to improve it, we shift the focus from judgment to practical steps for addressing any concerns.
12. What idea does Scott Young put forward in his book
A. High scores need consistent practice.
B. Fluency comes from regular practice.
C. Right skills don’t guarantee success.
D. Practice may not ensure excellence.
13. Why did Young mention piano teachers and tennis coaches in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a new idea.
B. To make a comparison.
C To illustrate a point.
D. To confirm a guess
14. What does Anders Ericsson advocate
A. Practicing under effective guidance.
B. Increasing the frequency of practice.
C. Enhancing the fluency of performance.
D. Getting confident from positive feedback.
15. What is a better way to ask for feedback in Young’s opinion
A. Turning to strangers for help.
B. Not expecting honest response.
C. Asking for ways of improving.
D. Preparing for any judgment.

Many years ago, my father, who was 80 at that time, arrived for his regular two-week visit at my home in Karachi He lived with my elder brother in Lahore most of the time and for ten years had stuck to his habit of going for an-hour-long morning walk to keep fit, In Naturally, he was keen to continue his morning walk while with us in Karachi.
Our preferred park is a 2km walk from my house and it has a 1km walking track. I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office while at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there were hardly any footpaths in Karachi, my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much traffic in the morning.
Though I kept him informed that our house was near the park and was made of red bricks in case he got lost, I was still less confident so I suggested it would be safer if changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could take him to the park after work. However, my father — a determined person — said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am. So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa phoned me in a panic Worried, I immediately drove home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk.
Not spotting him anywhere, I drove back to the park, in the hone of discovering some trace, but in vain. Totally at a loss for what to do next, I returned home and waited impatiently, walking back and forth in the house.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special.
In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Portter book series. Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would be able to read these books. However. I eventually had to accept the fact that if I wanted to read the series. I would have to read my parents’ copies. So I began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.
When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what the books looked like.
Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have meaning and I love how much they mean to me now.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph
A. She felt uneasy about owning old books.
B. She had a bad relationship with her parents.
C. She was passionate for reading classics.
D. She was often gifted old books by her parents.
5. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade
A. Confused. B. Inspired. C. Discouraged. D. Astonished.
6. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3
A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books.
B. She began to ignore the appearance of the books.
C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf.
D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read.
7. What is the best title for the text

When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their faces look like pure joy. Across the world, customers stream into their favorite spots to meet with friends and enjoy these tasty drinks.
In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry were concerned: with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies This was the question that Serenitea, a Manila-based milk-tea company faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog.
Unsure of what consumers, truly felt towards the drink, they offered as many flavors as possible. They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitor. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate (引起共鸣)
Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer “why”. The agency; conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they investigated the consumer’s deeper emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea led to three consistent psychological responses.
People were connected to milk through the concept of nurturing (养育); they fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had indigestion (消化不良) problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological benefits of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By including them into the core of their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path.
8. What do the underlined words “earned a foothold” mean in paragraph 2
A. Made an adjustment. B. Won a position.
C. Lost the initiative. D. Achieved a breakthrough.
9. What was Serenitea’s main concern in 2014
A Being confused with other brands.
B. The rapid growth of milk tea brands
C. The possibility of milk tea catching on.
D. Falling behind the changing consumer tastes.
10. What does CIA Bootleg Manila specialize in
A. Product packaging design. B. Market expansion strategies.
C. Analysis of customer psychology D. Flavor innovation and development.
11. Which of the following was a finding of the research
A. Milk tea was popular among patients.
B. Customers found all milk tea identical.
C. Customers associated milk tea with health.
D. Milk tea brands ignored consumers’ feelings.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C

How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate (引起共鸣) (他们也不清楚自己究竟有何独特之处——他们的品牌承诺、产品线和产品包装似乎都与竞争对手几乎一模一样。他们究竟该如何界定自身，才能引起消费者的强烈共鸣呢？)”可知，Serenitea在2014年的主要担忧是自身品牌与其他奶茶品牌没有区分度，容易混淆。故选A。

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. While it may sound like good advice, it’s not the best or fastest path because practice can only get you so far, says Scott Young, author of Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery.
“Practice is not a cure- all.” Young explains. “It doesn’t necessarily improve your skills but rather makes them more automatic and fluent.” In his book, Young clarifies this concept with the game Tetris where players fit falling blocks to complete lines. The more you practice the faster and more accurate you become at placing the blocks. However, simply practicing doesn’t guarantee higher scores. To reach higher proficiency (精通度), one must go beyond repetitive practice and use the correct techniques.
Young said, “It’s important to do the correct technique from the beginning. That’s why piano teachers and tennis coaches prefer to train someone who has had no experience rather than someone who has had a lot of experience. By starting with the correct techniques, beginners can grasp skills more quickly. Without established habits to break, they are more likely to build a strong base for long- term improvement.”
Malcolm Gladwell popularized the 10,000- hour rule in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, suggesting that proficiency in any field requires about 10,000 hours of practice. Yet Anders Ericsson, whose research was a big inspiration for this concept, disagreed. He argued for the idea of deliberate practice, which was not just practice but practice under the guidance with immediate feedback (反馈) about your performance. He stressed that learning from outcomes through corrective feedback is essential for developing true proficiency, otherwise you just spend time getting fluency and confidence.
Getting high- quality feedback will depend on how you ask for it. Simply asking someone “What do you think ” is not enough. “There’s just no way in our social network that someone could give you really honest feedback and not cause harm to the relationship,” Young says. Instead, he suggests asking, “It you were going to make this better, what would you do ” By asking how to improve it, we shift the focus from judgment to practical steps for addressing any concerns.
12. What idea does Scott Young put forward in his book
A. High scores need consistent practice.
B. Fluency comes from regular practice.
C. Right skills don’t guarantee success.
D. Practice may not ensure excellence.
13. Why did Young mention piano teachers and tennis coaches in paragraph 3
A. To introduce a new idea.
B. To make a comparison.
C. To illustrate a point.
D. To confirm a guess
14. What does Anders Ericsson advocate
A. Practicing under effective guidance.
B. Increasing the frequency of practice.
C. Enhancing the fluency of performance.
D. Getting confident from positive feedback.
15. What is a better way to ask for feedback in Young’s opinion
A. Turning to strangers for help.
B. Not expecting honest response.
C. Asking for ways of improving.
D. Preparing for any judgment.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了实践与精通的关系，Scott Young主张单纯的练习不足以达到精通，需要正确方法和高质量反馈。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. While it may sound like good advice, it’s not the best or fastest path because practice can only get you so far, says Scott Young, author of Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery. (俗话说，熟能生巧。《在任何事情上都做得更好：精通的12条格言》一书的作者斯科特·杨说，虽然这听起来像是好建议，但这并不是最好或最快的方法，因为练习只能让你走到这一步。)”和“Practice is not a cure-all. (练习并非万能药。)”可知Scott Young在其书中提出的想法是练习可能不能保证卓越。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“It’s important to do the correct technique from the beginning. That’s why piano teachers and tennis coaches prefer to train someone who has had no experience rather than someone who has had a lot of experience. By starting with the correct techniques, beginners can grasp skills more quickly. Without established habits to break, they are more likely to build a strong base for long-term improvement. (从一开始就掌握正确的技术很重要。这就是为什么钢琴老师和网球教练更喜欢训练没有经验的人，而不是有很多经验的人。通过从正确的技术开始，初学者可以更快地掌握技能。没有既定的习惯可以打破，他们更有可能为长期进步奠定坚实的基础。)”可知，通过从正确的技术开始，初学者可以更快地掌握技能。)可知，Young提到钢琴老师和网球教练是为了说明一个观点，即从一开始就使用正确技术的重要性。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“He argued for the idea of deliberate practice, which was not just practice but practice under the guidance with immediate feedback about your performance. (他主张有意图的练习，这种练习不仅仅是练习，而是在指导下的练习，并且立即得到关于你表现的反馈。)”可知Anders Ericsson提倡的是在有效指导下的练习。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Instead, he suggests asking, ‘If you were going to make this better, what would you do ’ By asking how to improve it, we shift the focus from judgment to practical steps for addressing any concerns. (相反，他建议问，“如果你要让这变得更好，你会怎么做？”通过询问如何改进，我们将注意力从评判转移到解决任何问题的实际步骤上。)”可知，在Young看来，更好的寻求反馈的方式是询问改进的方法。故选C项。
