B
I used to think I was a good person. I was caring to my friends, my partner, my family; I gave to charity and I volunteered. But when I started training to become atherapist（治疗师）, I began to understand that however much we might like to think of ourselves as good people, we don't actually know ourselves very well. I learned about how we might, without consciously realizing it, deny the feelings and motivations we consider to be bad, pushing them down into our unconscious and projecting them out on to others, so they become the bad people. I learned that deep in the human mind, alongside love and kindness, run currents of anger, need, greed, envy, destructiveness, superiority— whether we want to acknowledge them or not.
It was 22-ycar-old Boru who taught me what it really means to be a good grown up. We first spoke two years ago. He was unemployed, living with his parents, watching his friends’ lives progress. A good grown-up, he told me, is “someone who has his ducks in a row”—and that wasn't him.
I also didn't feel like the competent, confident grown-up I thought I should be—and neither did most of the adults I knew. I researched statistics about people hitting the traditional landmarks of adulthood later and later, if at all—from buying a home to getting married or starting a family. I recognized what made me feel like a bad grown-up: that I'll sit with a broken fridge rather than call an engineer to repair it.
Then I saw Boru again. He told me how, over two years, he'd found a job he loves, rented a flat with a friend. He's now cycling round the world, having adventures that will keep him strong for the rest of his life. So what changed “You start to have those conversations with yourself, and you become more of an honest person. I don't feel like I'm hiding from anything anymore, because I'm not hiding from myself. ”
I think growing up must involve finding your own way to have those conversations. Boru does it on his bike, I do it in psychoanalysis, others I spoke to do it while cooking or playing music. That, for Boru, and for me, is what it means to “have his ducks in a row”.
24. What does the first paragraph imply about understanding ourselves
A. Recognizing our positive traits is enough for growth.
B. Our understanding of our motives and feelings is accurate.
C. True self-awareness means accepting both good and bad sides.
D. Ignoring our negative traits does not affect our self-perception.
25. What critical lesson did the author learn from Boru about being a good grown-up
A. It involves having a clear career path and financial stability.
B. It requires constant self-improvement and education.
C. It means being employed and living independently.
D. It is like a journey of self-discovery and honesty.
26. What does the author identify as a reason for feeling like an inadequate adult
A. Escaping basic responsibilities.
B. Delaying reaching traditional life milestones.
C. Comparing personal achievements to others.
D. Investigating changing patterns of adult life.
27. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Why Hide Harms B. How to Be Better Adults
C. Why Growing up Matters D. How to Have Effective Conversations
C
What makes a certain piece of writing great Well, it depends on whom you ask. There are, in my mind, three different readers: casual readers, lit critics, creative writers. They would say the following about Charlotte Bront ’ s Jane Eyre:
Casual reader: Jane's story is very relatable, especially to women who survived their teenage years. The story's elements of romance, mystery, and coming-of-age make it enjoyable to read.
Literary critic: Jane Eyre pulls inspiration from the Gothic and romantic literary traditions. The atmospheric setting mirrors Jane's inner world and serves as a character itself.
Creative writer: Jane has an appealing character and her pursuit of a fulfilling life is timeless. While Jane's emotions are often verbose （冗长的）, each word still feels necessary in most passages.
All of these responses are reasonable interpretations of the great literary work Jane Eyre. What's the difference between these three The casual reader is primarily interested in the story's relatability and entertainment value; the literary critic, who knows how to read literature like a professor, looks for ways to situate this work in its broader literary context.
The creative writer must do both: the job of the casual reader and the job of the critic. He/ she engages with the work on a personal level while also researching what makes a work successful. This is Reading Like a Writer （RLW）, which means being impacted by a piece of literature while investigating how the writer did it. Successful works of writing succeed for different reasons-a distinctive voice, moving storytelling, an empowering message, etc. Writers don't make the achievement randomly: they earn it by crafting every plot point and character, every line break, with care and precision. It's up to you to pay attention to these craft elements, the choices the writer makes and how they contribute to the work as a whole.
Yes, reading like a writer is extra work. But it's necessary work to the writing practice. By observing the strategies writers employ to tell convincing stories or write engaging arguments, you equip yourself with the knowledge to perform these strategies yourself.
28. The author cites three reader responses to Jane Eyre ________.
A. to argue that the novel is poorly written
B. to explain different reading perspectives
C. to prove how detailed literary analysis can be
D. to show the misinterpretation by creative writers
29. According to the passage, which of the following most probably demonstrates RLW
A. Discussing fascinating plots and characters in a novel.
B. Examining the literary sources a Greek classic draws on.
C. Analyzing why a short story is popular and how it is structured.
D. Summarizing the main events of a short story for a class assignment.
30. What does the underlined pronoun “it” refer to
A. Care and precision in writing B. Recognition of works as success
C. Investigation of writing style D. Character analysis through words
31. The author suggests RLW is “necessary work”（para. 7） because readers can ________.
A. write lengthy novels like Jane Eyre B. gain knowledge in employment
C. become professional literary critic D. improve their own writing craft
D
In the past, jobs were about muscles. Now they're about brains, but in the future, they'll be about the heart. —Minouche Shafik, the president of Columbia University
LinkedIn researchers recently looked at which skills any given job requires and then identified over 500 likely to be affected by generative A. I. technologies. They then estimated that 96 percent of a software engineer's current skills — mainly in programming languages —can eventually be possessed by A. I. Skills associated with jobs like legal associates and finance officers will also be highly exposed. In fact, given the broad impact A. I. is set to have, it is quite likely to affect all of our work to some degree or another.
Circling around this research is the big question emerging across so many conversations about A. I. and work, namely: What are our core capabilities as humans
If we answer this question from a place of fear about what's left for people in the age of A. I. , we can end up admitting a diminished view of human capability. Instead, it's critical for us all to start from a place that imagines what's possible for humans in the age of A. I. When we do that, we find ourselves focusing quickly on people skills that allow us to cooperate and innovate in ways technology can intensify but never replace.
A recent Jobs for the Future survey found that 78 percent of the 10 top-employing occupations classified uniquely human skills and tasks as “important” or “very important. ” These, commonly referred to as soft skills, include building interpersonal relationships, negotiating between parties and guiding and motivating teams.
Now is the time for leaders, across departments, to develop new ways for students to learn that are more directly tied to where our economy is going, not where it has been. Critically, that involves bringing the same level of preciseness to training around people skills that we have brought to technical skills.
Ultimately, for our society, this comes down to whether we believe in the potential of humans with as much belief as we believe in the potential of A. I. If we do, it is entirely possible to build a world of work that not only is more human but also is a place where all people are valued for the unique skills we have, enabling us to deliver new levels of human achievement across so many areas that affect all of our lives.
32. According to LinkedIn's recent research ________.
A. soft engineers are required to identify 500 languages
B. A. I. will replace humans in jobs requiring certain skills
C. we humans underestimate the impact A. I. is set to have
D. A. I. technologies are to influence research to some degree
33. Which of the following is “a diminished view of human capability”（paragraph 3）
A. Humans are losing control of the world.
B. Technology intensifies humans' cooperation.
C. Humans outsmart A. I in terms of critical thinking.
D. A. I. and humans are similar in their ability to innovate.
34. Leaders in different departments are advised to ________.
A. teach students unique technical skills
B. develop students' soft skills for their future
C. remind students where our economy is going
D. build healthy interpersonal relationships with students
35. According to the writer, what is the core factor of human development
A. Practical value set on skills. B. Firm belief about A. I. technologies.
C. Decisive effects brought by A. I. D. Confidence in our potential.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your Life Is Better Than You Think
The undeniable popularity of self-help books, wellness podcasts, and happiness workshops reflects the constant human desire to make life better. 36
While we may have a loving family, a good place to live, and a decent job, 37 It's not because we are ungrateful or stupid, but it's because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.
Habituation is the tendency of neurons to fire less and less in response to things that are constant. You enter a room filled with roses and after a short while, you cannot detect their scent any longer; and just as you get used to the smell of fresh flowers, you also get used to a loving relationship, to a promotion, to a nice home, to a wonderful work of art. Like the front page of a daily newspaper, your brain cares about what recently changed, not about what remained the same. 38 You habituate to it—you fail to notice and respond to elements of your life which you previously found amazing.
39 That is, you can suddenly start perceiving and responding to things to which you have become desensitized.
The key is taking small breaks from your daily life. For example, when people return home from a long business trip, they often find their old life has “reshined. ” Ordinary things suddenly seem amazing. If something is constant, we often assume（perhaps unconsciously） that it is there to stay, and as a result, we focus our attention and effort on the next thing on our list. 40 If it is good at its core, it may just reshine. This is why time away, however short, will enable you to perceive your life with fresh eyes—and to break up reality.
A. we need to learn to better our life.
B. we often fail to notice those things.
C. The good news is that you can dishabituate.
D. Habituation to the good drives you to move forward and progress.
E. And so, what once took your breath away becomes part of life's furniture.
F. But could it be that many of our lives are already better than we recognize
G. But if we can make the constant less so, our attention will naturally turn back to it.

In Favour of Simple Writing
Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in 41 even the simplest message. If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter, one who values excitement and speed over 42 : get it done decently now rather than perfectly later.
People are constantly receiving messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message alert. What to read, what toskim（略读） and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day. A new book titled All Readers are Busy Nowadays makes the argument for being the careful kind of 43 , even in informal lines. The authors also present well-established 44 that have long been prized in guides to writing.
Take “less is more”, Most books on writing well advocate the advice to 45 needless words. The authors, however, have 46 the idea. In an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the count from127 to 49 words almost 47 the response rate.
Keeping messages to a 48 idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. 49 the number of the available options has the same effect, too. A link in an email, 50 , attracted 50% more clicks when presented alone than when it was sent alongside a second additional link.
Syntax（句法） and 51 matter, too. It is more 52 to adopt short and active sentences, with common words familiar to everyone. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes and shares.
If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too. That may make it tempting to sent as many messages as 53 as possible and hope for the best. But from essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has provable 54 . If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete, then you might as well have not 55 it at all.
41. A. conveying B. understanding C. crafting D. exchanging
42. A. care B. quantity C. simplicity D. technology
43. A. reader B. poster C. learner D. writer
44. A. structures B. principles C. aims D. alternatives
45. A. remove B. ignore C. reconsider D. interpret

DNA analysis reveals two waves of migration
The results of the study, published in the Science Bulletin, revealed two major migration waves in history. In this 56 （pioneer） study, scientists from Fudan University have dug into the ancient DNA of individuals buried in Gansu province, revealing interesting insights into the genetic makeup of Hexi Corridor residents dating back over 12 centuries. The research employed ancient DNA data 57 （explore） human migration along the Hexi Corridor.
The Hexi Corridor, was a narrow yet crucial link 58 （connect） the heartland of ancient China to the Western Territory. Characterized by its lofty mountains and deserts, the ancient pathway was dotted with cities 59 （found） along short rivers.
Historical documents attest（证实） to the Hexi Corridor's significance as a crossroads 60 Western and Eastern civilizations mixed through trade, religion and occasional conflicts following the establishment of the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty.
61 technological advances in biology open new avenues for exploration, archaeologists are increasingly drawn to analyzing DNA samples. Led by Wen Shaoqing from Fudan University's Institute of Archaeological Science, the team successfully extracted DNA data 62 the teeth and bones found at two sites near Dunhuang.
The DNA analysis pinpointed two outliers（异常样本） dating to the Wei Dynasty and the Tang. Further examination revealed one had approximately 50 percent western Eurasian ancestry and the other 30 percent, suggesting the individuals were 63 （like） descendants of unions between western Eurasian women and local men.
64 the team concluded was that the genetic mix could be partially attributed to those migrations. Experts said the second major migration period 65 （mark） by a significant shift in the gene pool. Historical records say migration facilitated by Chinese explorer Zhang Qian’ s visit to the Western Territory from 138 BC resulted in the creation of the Silk Road.

It was the second day I left my lovely hometown for the city to live with my grandfather, who was taking me to the supermarket for the first time.
“I forgot. You've never seen a supermarket before, have you ”
I shook my head, indicating indifference to the surroundings.
“Imagine it like this, ” Grandfather said, “This store’ s speaking to you. It is telling you some of the new things that you've never learned. ” I did not understand.
“A trading post in a remote town only shows you a small part of the world. This store speaks of a world that is a very big place. ”
“So I should just forget my roots, is that it ” Angry and upset, I was expressing my reluctance to live here.
“Absolutely not. Carry it with you, so that you may freely navigate in both worlds, big and small. ”
Ignoring words from him, my gaze fell on a woman selecting some green apples. I thought so what if it's a big world, but I'd rather purchase whatever in a trading post for they only stocked one type of apples, at least all ripe!
Noticing the expressions on my face, Grandfather chuckled. He gracefully walked over to the table where the green apples were and selected half a dozen.
“You'll get a stomachache if you consume green apples, ” I said.
Grandfather appeared as though he was going to laugh again, but he didn't.
There was no word any more. I followed him while Grandfather filled the cart with our necessities, encountering numerous new items. I was burning to ask him what those strange foods were, and what their flavors and origins were. However, I kept it in my mind that I was supposed to be bored and uninterested in anything, thus, keeping silent all the way.
As we exited the supermarket, Grandfather was smiling as if he understood some private jokes. About halfway back, he gestured for me to stop, bending over to find the plastic bag.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He picked out a green apple. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With his words in mind I couldn't help taking a bite, too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

W: This summer I took part in a really interesting project called One-Day Clean-up, whose aim is to make our environment clear. I heard about it from my neighbors who used to take part in a year ago.

Over half of the people there were from China, like me, but there were also people from Thailand, Australia and the USA. We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find on the seaside. It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the environment. So I'm determined to get my family to recycle as much as we can. It'll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals. So, if you'd like to join me taking part in this Day next year, it'll be on January 11th. The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers.

My desk has accompanied me for many years, and some of the items on it do have special meanings for me.
Of all the things on my desk, the clock on the left side is the most meaningful for me. It is an obvious reminder of the saying: Time and tide wait for no man. Whenever I want to be lazy, the sound of the clock tells me to value time. Besides, the bookshelf in the middle indicates the power of knowledge. The books, whether textbooks or extracurricular ones, satisfy my curiosity, offer me excellent stories and enrich my life. I can't imagine how boring my life would be without them.
I hope my desk will always be a part of my life, witness my progress and lead me to a successful life.

参考范文
He picked out a green apple. “Would you like to share it with me ” my grandpa asked, with a smile on his face. “Absolutely not! I'm sure it's not ripe and it will taste terrible, ” I replied, shaking my head. He shrugged his shoulders and took a bite of the apple. Watching his chew with enjoyment, I began to feel puzzled —Could a green apple actually be delicious At that moment, my grandfather said: “You need to try it if you want to know whether it's good or bad. This apple may be different from what you expected, and it might surprise you. ”
With his words in mind I couldn't help taking a bite, too. Surprisingly, it wasn't as unpleasant as I had imagined. Instead, a unique blend of freshness and sweetness emerged. My eyes widened in surprise as I looked at my grandfather, who, as if everything was within his expectations, said “Many things in life are like this. We can’ t judge them only by their appearance or initial impressions. Sometimes, we need to take a chance to learn it. ” I nodded thoughtfully, filled with admiration for his wisdom. The green apple taught me the importance of exploring a new world with an open mind.

A
Workplace injuries still happen. In a statistical report produced by Safe Work Australia, there were a total of 104, 770 personal injury claims for a work-related incident last year alone. The most typical type is related to repetitive body movements, followed by unexpected falls and contact with moving equipment. Prioritizing health and safety is essential in creating a positive and productive working environment,
21. According to the info chart, workplace injuries may lead to ________.

B
I used to think I was a good person. I was caring to my friends, my partner, my family; I gave to charity and I volunteered. But when I started training to become atherapist（治疗师）, I began to understand that however much we might like to think of ourselves as good people, we don't actually know ourselves very well. I learned about how we might, without consciously realizing it, deny the feelings and motivations we consider to be bad, pushing them down into our unconscious and projecting them out on to others, so they become the bad people. I learned that deep in the human mind, alongside love and kindness, run currents of anger, need, greed, envy, destructiveness, superiority— whether we want to acknowledge them or not.
It was 22-ycar-old Boru who taught me what it really means to be a good grown up. We first spoke two years ago. He was unemployed, living with his parents, watching his friends’ lives progress. A good grown-up, he told me, is “someone who has his ducks in a row”—and that wasn't him.
I also didn't feel like the competent, confident grown-up I thought I should be—and neither did most of the adults I knew. I researched statistics about people hitting the traditional landmarks of adulthood later and later, if at all—from buying a home to getting married or starting a family. I recognized what made me feel like a bad grown-up: that I'll sit with a broken fridge rather than call an engineer to repair it.
Then I saw Boru again. He told me how, over two years, he'd found a job he loves, rented a flat with a friend. He's now cycling round the world, having adventures that will keep him strong for the rest of his life. So what changed “You start to have those conversations with yourself, and you become more of an honest person. I don't feel like I'm hiding from anything anymore, because I'm not hiding from myself. ”
I think growing up must involve finding your own way to have those conversations. Boru does it on his bike, I do it in psychoanalysis, others I spoke to do it while cooking or playing music. That, for Boru, and for me, is what it means to “have his ducks in a row”.
24. What does the first paragraph imply about understanding ourselves
A. Recognizing our positive traits is enough for growth.
B. Our understanding of our motives and feelings is accurate.
C. True self-awareness means accepting both good and bad sides.
D. Ignoring our negative traits does not affect our self-perception.
25. What critical lesson did the author learn from Boru about being a good grown-up
A. It involves having a clear career path and financial stability.
B. It requires constant self-improvement and education.
C. It means being employed and living independently.
D. It is like a journey of self-discovery and honesty.
26. What does the author identify as a reason for feeling like an inadequate adult
A. Escaping basic responsibilities.
B. Delaying reaching traditional life milestones.
C. Comparing personal achievements to others.
D. Investigating changing patterns of adult life.
27. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Why Hide Harms B. How to Be Better Adults
C. Why Growing up Matters D. How to Have Effective Conversations
C
What makes a certain piece of writing great Well, it depends on whom you ask. There are, in my mind, three different readers: casual readers, lit critics, creative writers. They would say the following about Charlotte Bront ’ s Jane Eyre:
Casual reader: Jane's story is very relatable, especially to women who survived their teenage years. The story's elements of romance, mystery, and coming-of-age make it enjoyable to read.
Literary critic: Jane Eyre pulls inspiration from the Gothic and romantic literary traditions. The atmospheric setting mirrors Jane's inner world and serves as a character itself.
Creative writer: Jane has an appealing character and her pursuit of a fulfilling life is timeless. While Jane's emotions are often verbose （冗长的）, each word still feels necessary in most passages.
All of these responses are reasonable interpretations of the great literary work Jane Eyre. What's the difference between these three The casual reader is primarily interested in the story's relatability and entertainment value; the literary critic, who knows how to read literature like a professor, looks for ways to situate this work in its broader literary context.
The creative writer must do both: the job of the casual reader and the job of the critic. He/ she engages with the work on a personal level while also researching what makes a work successful. This is Reading Like a Writer （RLW）, which means being impacted by a piece of literature while investigating how the writer did it. Successful works of writing succeed for different reasons-a distinctive voice, moving storytelling, an empowering message, etc. Writers don't make the achievement randomly: they earn it by crafting every plot point and character, every line break, with care and precision. It's up to you to pay attention to these craft elements, the choices the writer makes and how they contribute to the work as a whole.
Yes, reading like a writer is extra work. But it's necessary work to the writing practice. By observing the strategies writers employ to tell convincing stories or write engaging arguments, you equip yourself with the knowledge to perform these strategies yourself.
28. The author cites three reader responses to Jane Eyre ________.
A. to argue that the novel is poorly written
B. to explain different reading perspectives
C. to prove how detailed literary analysis can be
D. to show the misinterpretation by creative writers
29. According to the passage, which of the following most probably demonstrates RLW
A. Discussing fascinating plots and characters in a novel.
B. Examining the literary sources a Greek classic draws on.
C. Analyzing why a short story is popular and how it is structured.
D. Summarizing the main events of a short story for a class assignment.
30. What does the underlined pronoun “it” refer to
A. Care and precision in writing B. Recognition of works as success
C. Investigation of writing style D. Character analysis through words
31. The author suggests RLW is “necessary work”（para. 7） because readers can ________.
A. write lengthy novels like Jane Eyre B. gain knowledge in employment
C. become professional literary critic D. improve their own writing craft
D
In the past, jobs were about muscles. Now they're about brains, but in the future, they'll be about the heart. —Minouche Shafik, the president of Columbia University
LinkedIn researchers recently looked at which skills any given job requires and then identified over 500 likely to be affected by generative A. I. technologies. They then estimated that 96 percent of a software engineer's current skills — mainly in programming languages —can eventually be possessed by A. I. Skills associated with jobs like legal associates and finance officers will also be highly exposed. In fact, given the broad impact A. I. is set to have, it is quite likely to affect all of our work to some degree or another.
Circling around this research is the big question emerging across so many conversations about A. I. and work, namely: What are our core capabilities as humans
If we answer this question from a place of fear about what's left for people in the age of A. I. , we can end up admitting a diminished view of human capability. Instead, it's critical for us all to start from a place that imagines what's possible for humans in the age of A. I. When we do that, we find ourselves focusing quickly on people skills that allow us to cooperate and innovate in ways technology can intensify but never replace.
A recent Jobs for the Future survey found that 78 percent of the 10 top-employing occupations classified uniquely human skills and tasks as “important” or “very important. ” These, commonly referred to as soft skills, include building interpersonal relationships, negotiating between parties and guiding and motivating teams.
Now is the time for leaders, across departments, to develop new ways for students to learn that are more directly tied to where our economy is going, not where it has been. Critically, that involves bringing the same level of preciseness to training around people skills that we have brought to technical skills.
Ultimately, for our society, this comes down to whether we believe in the potential of humans with as much belief as we believe in the potential of A. I. If we do, it is entirely possible to build a world of work that not only is more human but also is a place where all people are valued for the unique skills we have, enabling us to deliver new levels of human achievement across so many areas that affect all of our lives.
32. According to LinkedIn's recent research ________.
A. soft engineers are required to identify 500 languages
B. A. I. will replace humans in jobs requiring certain skills
C. we humans underestimate the impact A. I. is set to have
D. A. I. technologies are to influence research to some degree
33. Which of the following is “a diminished view of human capability”（paragraph 3）
A. Humans are losing control of the world.
B. Technology intensifies humans' cooperation.
C. Humans outsmart A. I in terms of critical thinking.
D. A. I. and humans are similar in their ability to innovate.
34. Leaders in different departments are advised to ________.
A. teach students unique technical skills
B. develop students' soft skills for their future
C. remind students where our economy is going
D. build healthy interpersonal relationships with students
35. According to the writer, what is the core factor of human development
A. Practical value set on skills. B. Firm belief about A. I. technologies.
C. Decisive effects brought by A. I. D. Confidence in our potential.

Your Life Is Better Than You Think
The undeniable popularity of self-help books, wellness podcasts, and happiness workshops reflects the constant human desire to make life better. 36
While we may have a loving family, a good place to live, and a decent job, 37 It's not because we are ungrateful or stupid, but it's because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.
Habituation is the tendency of neurons to fire less and less in response to things that are constant. You enter a room filled with roses and after a short while, you cannot detect their scent any longer; and just as you get used to the smell of fresh flowers, you also get used to a loving relationship, to a promotion, to a nice home, to a wonderful work of art. Like the front page of a daily newspaper, your brain cares about what recently changed, not about what remained the same. 38 You habituate to it—you fail to notice and respond to elements of your life which you previously found amazing.
39 That is, you can suddenly start perceiving and responding to things to which you have become desensitized.
The key is taking small breaks from your daily life. For example, when people return home from a long business trip, they often find their old life has “reshined. ” Ordinary things suddenly seem amazing. If something is constant, we often assume（perhaps unconsciously） that it is there to stay, and as a result, we focus our attention and effort on the next thing on our list. 40 If it is good at its core, it may just reshine. This is why time away, however short, will enable you to perceive your life with fresh eyes—and to break up reality.
A. we need to learn to better our life.
B. we often fail to notice those things.
C. The good news is that you can dishabituate.
D. Habituation to the good drives you to move forward and progress.
E. And so, what once took your breath away becomes part of life's furniture.
F. But could it be that many of our lives are already better than we recognize
G. But if we can make the constant less so, our attention will naturally turn back to it.

In Favour of Simple Writing
Do you edit text messages carefully before sending them If so, you may be the kind of person who takes pride in 41 even the simplest message. If you do not, you may see yourself as a go-getter, one who values excitement and speed over 42 : get it done decently now rather than perfectly later.
People are constantly receiving messages, from the mailbox to the inbox to the text-message alert. What to read, what toskim（略读） and what to ignore are decisions that nearly everyone has to make dozens of times a day. A new book titled All Readers are Busy Nowadays makes the argument for being the careful kind of 43 , even in informal lines. The authors also present well-established 44 that have long been prized in guides to writing.
Take “less is more”, Most books on writing well advocate the advice to 45 needless words. The authors, however, have 46 the idea. In an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the count from127 to 49 words almost 47 the response rate.
Keeping messages to a 48 idea—or as few as absolutely needed—helps ensure that they will be read, remembered and acted on. 49 the number of the available options has the same effect, too. A link in an email, 50 , attracted 50% more clicks when presented alone than when it was sent alongside a second additional link.
Syntax（句法） and 51 matter, too. It is more 52 to adopt short and active sentences, with common words familiar to everyone. From Facebook posts to online-travel reviews, even brief, informal pieces of writing that follow these rules get more likes and shares.
If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too. That may make it tempting to sent as many messages as 53 as possible and hope for the best. But from essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has provable 54 . If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message which readers scan, ignore and delete, then you might as well have not 55 it at all.
41. A. conveying B. understanding C. crafting D. exchanging
42. A. care B. quantity C. simplicity D. technology
43. A. reader B. poster C. learner D. writer

DNA analysis reveals two waves of migration
The results of the study, published in the Science Bulletin, revealed two major migration waves in history. In this 56 （pioneer） study, scientists from Fudan University have dug into the ancient DNA of individuals buried in Gansu province, revealing interesting insights into the genetic makeup of Hexi Corridor residents dating back over 12 centuries. The research employed ancient DNA data 57 （explore） human migration along the Hexi Corridor.
The Hexi Corridor, was a narrow yet crucial link 58 （connect） the heartland of ancient China to the Western Territory. Characterized by its lofty mountains and deserts, the ancient pathway was dotted with cities 59 （found） along short rivers.
Historical documents attest（证实） to the Hexi Corridor's significance as a crossroads 60 Western and Eastern civilizations mixed through trade, religion and occasional conflicts following the establishment of the Silk Road during the Han Dynasty.
61 technological advances in biology open new avenues for exploration, archaeologists are increasingly drawn to analyzing DNA samples. Led by Wen Shaoqing from Fudan University's Institute of Archaeological Science, the team successfully extracted DNA data 62 the teeth and bones found at two sites near Dunhuang.
The DNA analysis pinpointed two outliers（异常样本） dating to the Wei Dynasty and the Tang. Further examination revealed one had approximately 50 percent western Eurasian ancestry and the other 30 percent, suggesting the individuals were 63 （like） descendants of unions between western Eurasian women and local men.
64 the team concluded was that the genetic mix could be partially attributed to those migrations. Experts said the second major migration period 65 （mark） by a significant shift in the gene pool. Historical records say migration facilitated by Chinese explorer Zhang Qian’ s visit to the Western Territory from 138 BC resulted in the creation of the Silk Road.

It was the second day I left my lovely hometown for the city to live with my grandfather, who was taking me to the supermarket for the first time.
“I forgot. You've never seen a supermarket before, have you ”
I shook my head, indicating indifference to the surroundings.
“Imagine it like this, ” Grandfather said, “This store’ s speaking to you. It is telling you some of the new things that you've never learned. ” I did not understand.
“A trading post in a remote town only shows you a small part of the world. This store speaks of a world that is a very big place. ”
“So I should just forget my roots, is that it ” Angry and upset, I was expressing my reluctance to live here.
“Absolutely not. Carry it with you, so that you may freely navigate in both worlds, big and small. ”
Ignoring words from him, my gaze fell on a woman selecting some green apples. I thought so what if it's a big world, but I'd rather purchase whatever in a trading post for they only stocked one type of apples, at least all ripe!
Noticing the expressions on my face, Grandfather chuckled. He gracefully walked over to the table where the green apples were and selected half a dozen.
“You'll get a stomachache if you consume green apples, ” I said.
Grandfather appeared as though he was going to laugh again, but he didn't.
There was no word any more. I followed him while Grandfather filled the cart with our necessities, encountering numerous new items. I was burning to ask him what those strange foods were, and what their flavors and origins were. However, I kept it in my mind that I was supposed to be bored and uninterested in anything, thus, keeping silent all the way.
As we exited the supermarket, Grandfather was smiling as if he understood some private jokes. About halfway back, he gestured for me to stop, bending over to find the plastic bag.

1. 续写词数应为150词左右；

W: Not really. The teacher told me which dangerous fish to avoid and as long as I left them alone, I wouldn't be in danger. And I was never too far from the div e boat.
M: And what do you do now
W: I joined a group of teenagers who help scientists with their research. I like working with them since I've learned so much already by watching the scientists at work. We are volunteers, but many of us are planning on becoming biologists on sea animals in the future.
【Text 10】
W: This summer I took part in a really interesting project called One-Day Clean-up, whose aim is to make our environment clear. I heard about it from my neighbors who used to take part in a year ago. I thought it would be fun and persuaded some of my cousins to join me. Most of the people there were teenagers. Over half of the people there were from China, like me, but there were also people from Thailand, Australia and the USA. We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find on the seaside. It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the environment. So I'm determined to get my family to recycle as much as we can. It'll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals. So, if you'd like to join me taking part in this Day next year, it'll be on January 11th. The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers.

My desk has accompanied me for many years, and some of the items on it do have special meanings for me.
Of all the things on my desk, the clock on the left side is the most meaningful for me. It is an obvious reminder of the saying: Time and tide wait for no man. Whenever I want to be lazy, the sound of the clock tells me to value time. Besides, the bookshelf in the middle indicates the power of knowledge. The books, whether textbooks or extracurricular ones, satisfy my curiosity, offer me excellent stories and enrich my life. I can't imagine how boring my life would be without them.
I hope my desk will always be a part of my life, witness my progress and lead me to a successful life.

参考范文
He picked out a green apple. “Would you like to share it with me ” my grandpa asked, with a smile on his face. “Absolutely not! I'm sure it's not ripe and it will taste terrible, ” I replied, shaking my head. He shrugged his shoulders and took a bite of the apple. Watching his chew with enjoyment, I began to feel puzzled —Could a green apple actually be delicious At that moment, my grandfather said: “You need to try it if you want to know whether it's good or bad. This apple may be different from what you expected, and it might surprise you. ”
With his words in mind I couldn't help taking a bite, too. Surprisingly, it wasn't as unpleasant as I had imagined. Instead, a unique blend of freshness and sweetness emerged. My eyes widened in surprise as I looked at my grandfather, who, as if everything was within his expectations, said “Many things in life are like this. We can’ t judge them only by their appearance or initial impressions. Sometimes, we need to take a chance to learn it. ” I nodded thoughtfully, filled with admiration for his wisdom. The green apple taught me the importance of exploring a new world with an open mind.
