They talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along fine with instant recall of my bank PIN, my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas l”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “IHateHearlessOilCompanies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George. Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out, but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I’ll hide it in a place so secret that I’ll never remember where it is.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He had a serious memory disorder.
C. He was driven mad by passwords. D. He was rejected by the gas station.
25. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______.

C prove the uselessness of his passwords D. challenge the intelligence of scientists
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.
B. To recommend a password-remembering method.
C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.
D. To emphasize the importance of using complex passwords.
27. What is the tone of the text
A. Dismissive. B. Indifferent. C. Serious. D. Humorous.
C
Life continually requires that we write down a few words of thanks: for holidays, meals, presents or people’s place in our hearts. However, too often, our messages end up flat or somewhat unconvincing. To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art.
To some extent, what distinguishes great from common art is the level of detail with which the world has been studied. A talented artist is, first and foremost, someone who takes us into the specifics of the reasons why an experience or a place felt valuable. They don’t merely tell us that spring is ‘nice’, they zero in on the particular contributing factors to this niceness: leaves that have the softness of a newborn’s hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds....
Some of the reason why great artists are rare is that our minds are not well set up to understand why we feel as we do. But we can be confident if our minds have been affected, the reasons why they’ve been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. We stand to realise that it wasn’t so much that the food was ‘delicious’; but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn’t just’ nice’; they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to bear in asking us what it had been like for us when we suffered. The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them.
We don’t have to be great artists to send effective thank-you notes. We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude.
28. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. We seldom express gratitude by writing.
B. We usually find messages of thanks touching.
C. We should take a course for message writing.
D. We may draw inspiration for thank-yous from arts.
29. What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A Leave out. B. Clear up. C. Focus on. D. Hold back.
30. How is paragraph 3 developed
A. By classification. B. By example. C. By definition. D. By process.
31. Which would the author recommend to express gratitude
A. I am blessed to have such a wonderful week.
B. Your caring and warm smile lights up my day.
C. Thank you so much for your great present.
D. This is the most delicious dinner I’ ve ever had.
D
At ancient sites across the Amazon River basin, mysterious plots of unusually rich soil dot(点缀) the landscape. Scientists have long debated the origin of this “dark earth”, which is darker in color than surrounding soils and richer in carbon. Some people think this dark earth formed naturally, but the latest research has shown that modern Kuikuro people in Brazil create similar soil around their villages on purpose, which adds evidence to the idea that long-ago Amazons deliberately made such soil too. Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interviews of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns. “When you plant in hilly land, the soil is weak,” explained elder Kanu Kuikuro in one of the interviews. That is why we throw the ash, manioc peelings and manioc pulp. When comparing soil samples from ancient and modern sites, researchers found “striking similarities” — both were far less acidic than surrounding soils and contained higher levels of plant-friendly nutrients.
Analyses also revealed that dark earth holds twice the amount of carbon as surrounding soils on average. Scans(扫描) of the Xingu region suggest that the area is dotted with dark earth, and that hold as much as about 9 million tons of carbon-the annual carbon emissions of a small, industrialized country. “This number could roughly equal the annual carbon emissions of the United States when all dark earth across the Amazon is taken into consideration,” Perron says.
Figuring out the true value of carbon stored in the Amazon’s dark earth will require more data. Still, the research has significant influences on the Amazon’s future. The technique highlights how ancient people were able to live in the Amazon by developing sustainable farming that doubled as a carbon-storing technique. With more and more greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, it could also provide a blueprint for developing methods of sustainably locking atmospheric carbon in the soil, helping fight climate change.
32. What can we infer from the dark earth across the Amazon River basin
A. They are more acidic than surrounding soils.
B. They contain more organic nutrients.
C. They formed naturally.
D. They contain less carbon.
33. Why does the author mention the annual carbon emissions of the US
A. To explain the difficulty of protecting dark earth.
B. To show the wide distribution of dark earth in Amazon.
C. To stress the huge carbon-storing capability of dark earth.
D. To reveal the large carbon emissions of the United States.
34. What does the author stress in the last paragraph
A. The importance of developing sustainable farming.
B. The advanced farming technology in ancient tomes.
C. A possible solution to climate change.
D. A way of green agriculture.
35. Which is the best title of the text
A. Urgency of Sustainable Development B. Facts About the Dark Earth
C. Advantages of the Dark Earth D. Wisdom of Ancient Amazons

When people first come across the Law of Attraction(吸引力法则), their hearts and minds often immediately think of one specific thing that they’ d love to achieve in their lives. However, the next thought is often “But I can’t do that”. You may come up with all kinds of excuses. 36 Here are the reasons why you should believe you can use the Law of Attraction to obtain whatever you want.
Small steps create big changes. One of the most common reasons for abandoning dreams is that they simply seem too huge to realize. Usually it’s manageable to think of following your dream as taking a series of significant but small steps. 37 Then look at each of them. Not so unrealistic now, is it
38 When people are interviewed on their deathbeds or write about their lives in autobiographies(自传), it is often observed that major regrets tend to relate to things that were not done. In older age, it’s likely that you will be uncomfortable with the idea that you didn’t even try to do the thing that you loved or attempt to obtain what you truly wanted. 39 But you don’t ever need to feel this way! Make today the first day of your new journey towards avoiding regret.
Steps towards your dream are never backwards steps. Another common worry is that if you follow your dreams, you’ll be “taking steps back”. 40 However, what looks like backward steps in your old life can more productively and accurately be seen as forwarding steps in the brand new life you’re creating.
A. You can avoid regret.
B. It makes sense to move forward confidently.
C. Luckily, the truth is that it’s never too late to follow your dream.
D. It often comes up when people are at the top of careers they hate.
E. It is painful to feel like you haven’t ever found your true purpose.
F. For example, challenge yourself to write down the path to success in ten stages.
G. You have enough life experience and knowledge to make changes to pursue your dream.

In the classroom of Class 7, Grade 8, students were excited about an upcoming event. The school had organized a speech competition titled “Ways to Become Successful,” and many students were eager to showcase their public speaking skills. Among them was 13-year-old Leon, who had already won two speech contests and was full of confidence that she could win again.
Leon volunteered to represent her class in the competition, and after a round of voting, she was chosen as the class representative. Although there were only seven days left until the big day, Leon felt a sense of ease about the competition. After all, she had been here before and knew what it took to win.
At home, Leon’s father congratulated her on her achievement, while her mother reminded her to take the competition seriously. Despite her parents’ advice, Leon was convinced that her past successes meant this would be a walk in the park. Her teacher also urged her to prepare diligently, but Leon only sought help once to revise her initial draft.
As the days went by, Leon did not put in the necessary effort to refine her speech. When the day of the competition arrived, she was hit with a sudden wave of panic. She couldn’t remember the content of her speech, and as she stepped onto the stage, her anxiety only grew. After delivering the opening lines, she froze, unable to continue. The supportive applause from the audience only added to her confusion, leaving no room for her to recall her prepared words.
Leon struggled through the rest of her speech, finishing it in a state of embarrassment and shame. As she walked off the stage, she saw the disappointment in her teacher’s eyes and felt the letdown from her classmates. It was a heavy burden to bear.
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。
Back at home, Leon could no longer hold back her tears.________________________________ The next day, Leon went to school and apologized to her class. ____________________________
