In a small town located between rolling hills, there lived a girl named Lily, passionate about painting. From a young age, she found comfort in the strokes of her brush, creating vibrant landscapes and amusing creatures. Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day.
One rainy afternoon while seeking shelter, Lily stepped into a local art exhibit at a gallery. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, and the walls displayed colorful pieces that told stories. Despite her anxiety, she felt urged to enter. As she wandered, she overheard the curator (馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope.
That night Lily considered her journey and decided to display her artwork at the upcoming local fair. As the date approached, she poured her heart into preparation, selecting pieces that represented her growth. On the day of the fair, as she set up her booth, excitement mixed with fear. Doubts whispered in her mind, but she knew she had to take this leap.
As people wandered by some paused to admire her work. A stranger was attracted by a sunset painting, and they struck up a conversation. For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece. Suddenly, she realized her art resonated with someone else, connecting her experiences to another person.
Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment. Instead, she welcomed it as part of the creative process. Now, as a thriving artist in her community, Lily encourages others to share their voices. She holds workshops, guiding aspiring creators to find joy in their unique expressions. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words.

The human brain’s understanding of figure zero may have evolved from primitive neural pathways initially used for counting predators. This discovery could aid doctors in helping stroke patients who struggle with numerical comprehension. Zeros are integral to various fields, including astronomy, engineering, and literature.
Researchers Benjy Barnett and Steve Fleming from University College London explored the origins of figure zero by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to monitor the brain activity of 29 participants engaged in two tasks. In the first, people compared whether two consecutive patterns were made of the same number of dots, from 0 to 5, In the second, they saw 10 numbers, also from 0 to 5, each for 250 milliseconds. Half were orange and the rest blue. They then reported which colored numbers had the highest value. To compare people’s brain activity when they saw a “0” with them seeing other numbers, Barnett and Fleming input the MEG data into a machine-learning algorithm (算法).
Previous research has shown that specific neurons respond to numbers like“1,” “2,” and so on, up to “9.” Barnett noted that their findings revealed that the neural response to “0” closely resembled that of “1,” while becoming less similar to larger numbers. This suggests that zero occupies a fundamental position on the neural number line, next to “1” and two less than “2.”
They also examined similarities between the brain’s response to “0” and a blank screen finding identical activity patterns. This suggests that our comprehension of zero may have evolved from recognizing absences. “If I’m an antelope on the grassland and I quickly scan to check if I can see any predators, the brain activity that leads me to decide ‘no, I haven’t seen anything’ might be the starting point for the number zero in the brain,” says Barnett. While humans and other animals recognize absence, humans have built upon this to apply zeros into numerical systems.
Additionally, a previous study involving over 650 stroke patients revealed that approximately 15% struggled to process numbers containing zeros post-stroke. “Our results may well contribute to better understanding of this phenomenon and help inform potential treatments,” says Barnett. Jorge Morales at Northeastern University in Boston says that despite the importance of zero in mathematics and culture, this study suggests that the concept originates from the ability to notice absences, which we probably share with other animals.
28. How did the researchers explore the origin of figure zero
A. By comparing brain activity patterns.
B. By monitoring brain function directly.
C. By observing how people count dots.
D. By studying people’s response for MEG.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Figure zero is unique to numerical system.
B. Figure zero is important for noticing absence.
C. The brain is more sensitive to process larger numbers.
D. Stroke patients struggle to understand figure zero.
30. What does the author mainly intend to tell us
A. Figure zero is essential in various scientific disciplines.
B. Recognizing absence helps in understanding figure zero.
C. MEG is an effective tool for analyzing figure zero.
D. Figure zero is primarily useful for counting.
D
“What are you reading ” It’s a simple question but a powerful one, and it can change lives. Here’s one example: I met a woman who told me that she had fallen sadly out of touch with her beloved grandson. And then one day, she asked him what he was reading. He had just started “The Hunger Games”. The grandmother decided to read the book so that she could talk about it with her grandson. The book helped engage her grandson on the most important questions that humans face. Now her grandson couldn’t wait to talk to her when she called.
Other than belonging to the same family, they had never had much in common. Now they did. The conduit (中介) was reading. We need to read and to be readers now more than ever.
We overschedule our days and complain constantly about being too busy. We shop endlessly for stuff we don’t need and then feel oppressed by the clutter that surrounds us. We bombard ourselves with video clips and emails and instant messages. Connectivity is one of the great blessings of the Internet era, and it makes extraordinary things possible. But constant connectivity can be a curse, encouraging the lesser angels of our nature.
Books are uniquely suited to helping us change our relationship to the rhythms and habits of daily life in this world of endless connectivity. We can’t interrupt books; we can only interrupt ourselves while reading them. They are the expression of an individual or a group of individuals, not of a hive mind or collective consciousness. They speak to us, thoughtfully, one at a time. They demand our attention. And they demand that we briefly put aside our own beliefs and prejudices and listen to someone else’s. You can complain about a book, write carelessly in the margin or even throw it out the window. Still, you won’t change the words on the page.
The technology of a book is genius: the order of the words is fixed, whether on the page or on the screen, but the speed at which you read them is entirely up to you. Socrates said that the unexamined life isn’t worth living. Reading is the best way I know to learn how to examine your life. By comparing what you’ve done to what others have done, and your thoughts and theories and feelings to those of others, you learn about yourself and the world around you.
Reading isn’t just a respite from the relentlessness of technology. It isn’t just a strike against narrowness: it’s one of the world’s great joys.
31. What is the author’s attitude about reading
A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive.
32. What does the word “oppressed” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Challenged. B. Burdened. C. Impressed. D. Encouraged.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A Books allow us to interrupt ourselves.
B. Books reflect collective consciousness.
C. Books require our active involvement.
D. Books can be easily revised by readers.
34. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Reading Is Important. Do We Need to Read in the Internet Era
B. Reading Is Important. Can Reading Lead to Connectivity
C. Technology Is Essential. Does Technology Help Us to Read
D. Technology Is Essential. Can Technology Help Us to Connect

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all experienced it: the urge to withdraw and duck experiences we know we’ll enjoy — even when a mood boost is what we need most. We skip the birthday party. We cancel lunch. So how do you find the motivation to get out there, especially when you’re feeling lonely ____35____
Our drive to seek out happiness is a muscle that we can develop. Almost anyone can learn to increase their reward sensitivity by training themselves to notice and enjoy their positive emotions.____36____ When it comes to mental health treatment, doctors and therapists tend to focus on easing their patients’ negative symptoms — they want “to take away the bad,” explained Alicia Meuret, a professor of psychology. ____37____ Improving positive emotions can be a higher priority for patients than containing their depressive symptoms. And researches show that treatments based on this idea can be effective.
To raise your reward sensitivity, you can try an exercise based on the treatment plans in these studies. Make it a daily practice for as long as it’s helpful, but commit to at least a week. Begin by planning one activity per day that will make you happy or give you a sense of accomplishment. ____38____ Be realistic — it can be as small as treating yourself to a favorite snack, reading a few pages of a novel or Face Timing a friend.
____39____Many of us struggle to label our positive emotions much beyond fine, good or great. But research suggests that finding more words to describe those feelings can validate and intensify them, Meuret said. When reflecting on how something made you feel, try to be precise, using words like serene, elated, exhilarated, delighted, and inspired.
A. Besides, you can share your positive feelings.
B. Also, you can expand your joy vocabulary.
C. This will make you less likely to postpone positive experiences.
D. Yet most of us don’t just need to reduce pain, we also need to boost joy.
E. We showed significantly improved feelings of optimism.
F. That’s even true for people with depression and anxiety who struggle to experience pleasure.
G. One proven strategy is to strengthen your reward sensitivity.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
It’s important to write down not only what your goals are, but also when, where and how you’ll accomplish them. Most of us assume those superachievers who are always able to eat healthy foods and pick their kids up on time must have superhuman self-control. But science points to a different answer: What we mistake for willpower is often a hallmark of habit.
People with good habits rarely need to resist the temptation to lie on the couch, order unhealthy takeout or delay on assignments. That’s because they have established good habits, with little to no willpower required to choose wisely.
Sounds great, right The only problem is that building good habits takes effort and insight. Thankfully, here are a few research-backed steps sourced from my book, “How to Change,” that can help you develop good habits.
Set a specific goal. The way you define the goal you hope to turn into a habit does matter. Goals such as “Memorize words regularly” are too abstract, research has shown. Also, you should find the right kind of social support. Good habits are contagious, so try to catch some habits by hanging out with people who are a little ahead of you on the learning curve. It’s important not to get too crazy — if you try to train with marathoners when you’re just hoping to work up to a 5K, I’ve found it can be discouraging.
One last thing to keep in mind is that habits can take some time to form. They don’t click overnight. Despite claims that there’s a “magic number” of days it takes to form a habit, I have disproven this myth in my recent research.
40. What do we mistake for willpower
___________________________________________________________________________
41. Why do people with good habits rarely need to resist the temptation

42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> To catch some habits, you can hang out with people who are a little behind you on the learning curve.

43. Besides what is mentioned in the passage, what else can you do to develop a good habit in your daily life （In about 40 words）

The human brain’s understanding of figure zero may have evolved from primitive neural pathways initially used for counting predators. This discovery could aid doctors in helping stroke patients who struggle with numerical comprehension. Zeros are integral to various fields, including astronomy, engineering, and literature.
Researchers Benjy Barnett and Steve Fleming from University College London explored the origins of figure zero by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to monitor the brain activity of 29 participants engaged in two tasks. In the first, people compared whether two consecutive patterns were made of the same number of dots, from 0 to 5, In the second, they saw 10 numbers, also from 0 to 5, each for 250 milliseconds. Half were orange and the rest blue. They then reported which colored numbers had the highest value. To compare people’s brain activity when they saw a “0” with them seeing other numbers, Barnett and Fleming input the MEG data into a machine-learning algorithm (算法).
Previous research has shown that specific neurons respond to numbers like“1,” “2,” and so on, up to “9.” Barnett noted that their findings revealed that the neural response to “0” closely resembled that of “1,” while becoming less similar to larger numbers. This suggests that zero occupies a fundamental position on the neural number line, next to “1” and two less than “2.”
They also examined similarities between the brain’s response to “0” and a blank screen, finding identical activity patterns. This suggests that our comprehension of zero may have evolved from recognizing absences. “If I’m an antelope on the grassland and I quickly scan to check if I can see any predators, the brain activity that leads me to decide ‘no, I haven’t seen anything’ might be the starting point for the number zero in the brain,” says Barnett. While humans and other animals recognize absence, humans have built upon this to apply zeros into numerical systems.
Additionally, a previous study involving over 650 stroke patients revealed that approximately 15% struggled to process numbers containing zeros post-stroke. “Our results may well contribute to better understanding of this phenomenon and help inform potential treatments,” says Barnett. Jorge Morales at Northeastern University in Boston says that despite the importance of zero in mathematics and culture, this study suggests that the concept originates from the ability to notice absences, which we probably share with other animals.
28. How did the researchers explore the origin of figure zero
A. By comparing brain activity patterns.
B. By monitoring brain function directly.
C. By observing how people count dots.
D. By studying people’s response for MEG.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Figure zero is unique to numerical system.
B. Figure zero is important for noticing absence.
C. The brain is more sensitive to process larger numbers.
D. Stroke patients struggle to understand figure zero.
30. What does the author mainly intend to tell us
A. Figure zero is essential in various scientific disciplines.
B. Recognizing absence helps in understanding figure zero.
C. MEG is an effective tool for analyzing figure zero.
D. Figure zero is primarily useful for counting.

“What are you reading ” It’s a simple question but a powerful one, and it can change lives. Here’s one example: I met a woman who told me that she had fallen sadly out of touch with her beloved grandson. And then one day, she asked him what he was reading. He had just started “The Hunger Games”. The grandmother decided to read the book so that she could talk about it with her grandson. The book helped engage her grandson on the most important questions that humans face. Now her grandson couldn’t wait to talk to her when she called.
Other than belonging to the same family, they had never had much in common. Now they did. The conduit (中介) was reading. We need to read and to be readers now more than ever.
We overschedule our days and complain constantly about being too busy. We shop endlessly for stuff we don’t need and then feel oppressed by the clutter that surrounds us. We bombard ourselves with video clips and emails and instant messages. Connectivity is one of the great blessings of the Internet era, and it makes extraordinary things possible. But constant connectivity can be a curse, encouraging the lesser angels of our nature.
Books are uniquely suited to helping us change our relationship to the rhythms and habits of daily life in this world of endless connectivity. We can’t interrupt books; we can only interrupt ourselves while reading them. They are the expression of an individual or a group of individuals, not of a hive mind or collective consciousness. They speak to us, thoughtfully, one at a time. They demand our attention. And they demand that we briefly put aside our own beliefs and prejudices and listen to someone else’s. You can complain about a book, write carelessly in the margin or even throw it out the window. Still, you won’t change the words on the page.
The technology of a book is genius: the order of the words is fixed, whether on the page or on the screen, but the speed at which you read them is entirely up to you. Socrates said that the unexamined life isn’t worth living. Reading is the best way I know to learn how to examine your life. By comparing what you’ve done to what others have done, and your thoughts and theories and feelings to those of others, you learn about yourself and the world around you.
Reading isn’t just a respite from the relentlessness of technology. It isn’t just a strike against narrowness: it’s one of the world’s great joys.
31. What is the author’s attitude about reading
A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive.
32. What does the word “oppressed” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Challenged. B. Burdened. C. Impressed. D. Encouraged.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Books allow us to interrupt ourselves.
B. Books reflect collective consciousness.
C. Books require our active involvement.
D. Books can be easily revised by readers.
34. Which would be the best title for this passage
A Reading Is Important. Do We Need to Read in the Internet Era
B. Reading Is Important. Can Reading Lead to Connectivity
C. Technology Is Essential. Does Technology Help Us to Read
D. Technology Is Essential. Can Technology Help Us to Connect

We’ve all experienced it: the urge to withdraw and duck experiences we know we’ll enjoy — even when a mood boost is what we need most. We skip the birthday party. We cancel lunch. So how do you find the motivation to get out there, especially when you’re feeling lonely ____35____
Our drive to seek out happiness is a muscle that we can develop. Almost anyone can learn to increase their reward sensitivity by training themselves to notice and enjoy their positive emotions.____36____ When it comes to mental health treatment, doctors and therapists tend to focus on easing their patients’ negative symptoms — they want “to take away the bad,” explained Alicia Meuret, a professor of psychology. ____37____ Improving positive emotions can be a higher priority for patients than containing their depressive symptoms. And researches show that treatments based on this idea can be effective.
To raise your reward sensitivity, you can try an exercise based on the treatment plans in these studies. Make it a daily practice for as long as it’s helpful, but commit to at least a week. Begin by planning one activity per day that will make you happy or give you a sense of accomplishment. ____38____ Be realistic — it can be as small as treating yourself to a favorite snack, reading a few pages of a novel or Face Timing a friend.
____39____Many of us struggle to label our positive emotions much beyond fine, good or great. But research suggests that finding more words to describe those feelings can validate and intensify them, Meuret said. When reflecting on how something made you feel, try to be precise, using words like serene, elated, exhilarated, delighted, and inspired.
A. Besides, you can share your positive feelings.
B. Also, you can expand your joy vocabulary.
C. This will make you less likely to postpone positive experiences.
D. Yet most of us don’t just need to reduce pain, we also need to boost joy.
E. We showed significantly improved feelings of optimism.
F. That’s even true for people with depression and anxiety who struggle to experience pleasure.
G. One proven strategy is to strengthen your reward sensitivity.

第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
It’s important to write down not only what your goals are, but also when, where and how you’ll accomplish them. Most of us assume those superachievers who are always able to eat healthy foods and pick their kids up on time must have superhuman self-control. But science points to a different answer: What we mistake for willpower is often a hallmark of habit.
People with good habits rarely need to resist the temptation to lie on the couch, order unhealthy takeout or delay on assignments. That’s because they have established good habits, with little to no willpower required to choose wisely.
Sounds great, right The only problem is that building good habits takes effort and insight. Thankfully, here are a few research-backed steps sourced from my book, “How to Change,” that can help you develop good habits.
Set a specific goal. The way you define the goal you hope to turn into a habit does matter. Goals such as “Memorize words regularly” are too abstract, research has shown. Also, you should find the right kind of social support. Good habits are contagious, so try to catch some habits by hanging out with people who are a little ahead of you on the learning curve. It’s important not to get too crazy — if you try to train with marathoners when you’re just hoping to work up to a 5K, I’ve found it can be discouraging.
One last thing to keep in mind is that habits can take some time to form. They don’t click overnight. Despite claims that there’s a “magic number” of days it takes to form a habit, I have disproven this myth in my recent research.
40. What do we mistake for willpower
___________________________________________________________________________
41. Why do people with good habits rarely need to resist the temptation
___________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> To catch some habits, you can hang out with people who are a little behind you on the learning curve.
___________________________________________________________________________
43. Besides what is mentioned in the passage, what else can you do to develop a good habit in your daily life （In about 40 words）
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. We mistake willpower for super self-control.
41. People with good habits rarely need to resist temptation because they have ingrained positive behaviors that make wise choices automatic, requiring little to no willpower.
42. To catch some habits, you can hang out with people who are a little behind you on the learning curve. Because the passage indicates surrounding yourself with those who are ahead can provide motivation and inspiration, helping you adopt better habits more effectively.
43. Besides what is mentioned in the passage, you can develop a good habit by setting a daily reminder to practice the behavior, ensuring consistency and reinforcing your commitment to the goal.

In a small town located between rolling hills, there lived a girl named Lily, passionate about painting. From a young age, she found comfort in the strokes of her brush, creating vibrant landscapes and amusing creatures. Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day.
One rainy afternoon while seeking shelter, Lily stepped into a local art exhibit at a gallery. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, and the walls displayed colorful pieces that told stories. Despite her anxiety, she felt urged to enter. As she wandered, she overheard the curator (馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope.
That night Lily considered her journey and decided to display her artwork at the upcoming local fair. As the date approached, she poured her heart into preparation, selecting pieces that represented her growth. On the day of the fair, as she set up her booth, excitement mixed with fear. Doubts whispered in her mind, but she knew she had to take this leap.
As people wandered by some paused to admire her work. A stranger was attracted by a sunset painting, and they struck up a conversation. For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece. Suddenly, she realized her art resonated with someone else, connecting her experiences to another person.
Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment. Instead, she welcomed it as part of the creative process. Now, as a thriving artist in her community, Lily encourages others to share their voices. She holds workshops, guiding aspiring creators to find joy in their unique expressions. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words.

One last thing to keep in mind is that habits can take some time to form. They don’t click overnight. Despite claims that there’s a “magic number” of days it takes to form a habit, I have disproven this myth in my recent research.

In a small town located between rolling hills, there lived a girl named Lily, passionate about painting. From a young age, she found comfort in the strokes of her brush, creating vibrant landscapes and amusing creatures. Yet, her fear of judgment kept her art hidden; she painted in secret, each piece a beautiful treasure waiting for the light of day.
One rainy afternoon, while seeking shelter, Lily stepped into a local art exhibit at a gallery. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, and the walls displayed colorful pieces that told stories. Despite her anxiety, she felt urged to enter. As she wandered, she overheard the curator (馆长) discussing the power of being honest in art. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” he said, emphasizing that revealing who we are — flaws and all — is essential. His words struck a chord within her, sparking hope.
That night, Lily considered her journey and decided to display her artwork at the upcoming local fair. As the date approached, she poured her heart into preparation, selecting pieces that represented her growth. On the day of the fair, as she set up her booth, excitement mixed with fear. Doubts whispered in her mind, but she knew she had to take this leap.
As people wandered by, some paused to admire her work. A stranger was attracted by a sunset painting, and they struck up a conversation. For the first time, Lily felt warmth spreading through her as she shared the story behind the piece. Suddenly, she realized her art resonated with someone else, connecting her experiences to another person.
Lily began to embrace her imperfections, viewing honesty as strength. Each conversation grew her confidence, and she no longer feared judgment. Instead, she welcomed it as part of the creative process. Now, as a thriving artist in her community, Lily encourages others to share their voices. She holds workshops, guiding aspiring creators to find joy in their unique expressions. “Art is not about perfection; it’s about connection,” she tells them, echoing the curator’s words. Through her journey, she reminds everyone that our stories, no matter how imperfect, deserve to be shared with the world, as they make us human and truly alive.

The human brain’s understanding of figure zero may have evolved from primitive neural pathways initially used for counting predators. This discovery could aid doctors in helping stroke patients who struggle with numerical comprehension. Zeros are integral to various fields, including astronomy, engineering, and literature.
Researchers Benjy Barnett and Steve Fleming from University College London explored the origins of figure zero by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to monitor the brain activity of 29 participants engaged in two tasks. In the first, people compared whether two consecutive patterns were made of the same number of dots, from 0 to 5, In the second, they saw 10 numbers, also from 0 to 5, each for 250 milliseconds. Half were orange and the rest blue. They then reported which colored numbers had the highest value. To compare people’s brain activity when they saw a “0” with them seeing other numbers, Barnett and Fleming input the MEG data into a machine-learning algorithm (算法).
Previous research has shown that specific neurons respond to numbers like“1,” “2,” and so on, up to “9.” Barnett noted that their findings revealed that the neural response to “0” closely resembled that of “1,” while becoming less similar to larger numbers. This suggests that zero occupies a fundamental position on the neural number line, next to “1” and two less than “2.”
They also examined similarities between the brain’s response to “0” and a blank screen, finding identical activity patterns. This suggests that our comprehension of zero may have evolved from recognizing absences. “If I’m an antelope on the grassland and I quickly scan to check if I can see any predators, the brain activity that leads me to decide ‘no, I haven’t seen anything’ might be the starting point for the number zero in the brain,” says Barnett. While humans and other animals recognize absence, humans have built upon this to apply zeros into numerical systems.
Additionally, a previous study involving over 650 stroke patients revealed that approximately 15% struggled to process numbers containing zeros post-stroke. “Our results may well contribute to better understanding of this phenomenon and help inform potential treatments,” says Barnett. Jorge Morales at Northeastern University in Boston says that despite the importance of zero in mathematics and culture, this study suggests that the concept originates from the ability to notice absences, which we probably share with other animals.
28. How did the researchers explore the origin of figure zero
A. By comparing brain activity patterns.
B. By monitoring brain function directly.
C. By observing how people count dots.
D. By studying people’s response for MEG.
29. What can we learn from the passage
A. Figure zero is unique to numerical system.
B. Figure zero is important for noticing absence.
C. The brain is more sensitive to process larger numbers.
D. Stroke patients struggle to understand figure zero.
30. What does the author mainly intend to tell us
A. Figure zero is essential in various scientific disciplines.
B. Recognizing absence helps in understanding figure zero.
C. MEG is an effective tool for analyzing figure zero.
D. Figure zero is primarily useful for counting.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B

“What are you reading ” It’s a simple question but a powerful one, and it can change lives. Here’s one example: I met a woman who told me that she had fallen sadly out of touch with her beloved grandson. And then one day, she asked him what he was reading. He had just started “The Hunger Games”. The grandmother decided to read the book so that she could talk about it with her grandson. The book helped engage her grandson on the most important questions that humans face. Now her grandson couldn’t wait to talk to her when she called.
Other than belonging to the same family, they had never had much in common. Now they did. The conduit (中介) was reading. We need to read and to be readers now more than ever.
We overschedule our days and complain constantly about being too busy. We shop endlessly for stuff we don’t need and then feel oppressed by the clutter that surrounds us. We bombard ourselves with video clips and emails and instant messages. Connectivity is one of the great blessings of the Internet era, and it makes extraordinary things possible. But constant connectivity can be a curse, encouraging the lesser angels of our nature.
Books are uniquely suited to helping us change our relationship to the rhythms and habits of daily life in this world of endless connectivity. We can’t interrupt books; we can only interrupt ourselves while reading them. They are the expression of an individual or a group of individuals, not of a hive mind or collective consciousness. They speak to us, thoughtfully, one at a time. They demand our attention. And they demand that we briefly put aside our own beliefs and prejudices and listen to someone else’s. You can complain about a book, write carelessly in the margin or even throw it out the window. Still, you won’t change the words on the page.
The technology of a book is genius: the order of the words is fixed, whether on the page or on the screen, but the speed at which you read them is entirely up to you. Socrates said that the unexamined life isn’t worth living. Reading is the best way I know to learn how to examine your life. By comparing what you’ve done to what others have done, and your thoughts and theories and feelings to those of others, you learn about yourself and the world around you.
Reading isn’t just a respite from the relentlessness of technology. It isn’t just a strike against narrowness: it’s one of the world’s great joys.
31. What is the author’s attitude about reading
A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Unconcerned. D. Supportive.
32. What does the word “oppressed” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Challenged. B. Burdened. C. Impressed. D. Encouraged.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Books allow us to interrupt ourselves.
B. Books reflect collective consciousness.
C. Books require our active involvement.
D. Books can be easily revised by readers.
34. Which would be the best title for this passage
A Reading Is Important. Do We Need to Read in the Internet Era
B. Reading Is Important. Can Reading Lead to Connectivity
C. Technology Is Essential. Does Technology Help Us to Read
D. Technology Is Essential. Can Technology Help Us to Connect
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. A

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We’ve all experienced it: the urge to withdraw and duck experiences we know we’ll enjoy — even when a mood boost is what we need most. We skip the birthday party. We cancel lunch. So how do you find the motivation to get out there, especially when you’re feeling lonely ____35____
Our drive to seek out happiness is a muscle that we can develop. Almost anyone can learn to increase their reward sensitivity by training themselves to notice and enjoy their positive emotions.____36____ When it comes to mental health treatment, doctors and therapists tend to focus on easing their patients’ negative symptoms — they want “to take away the bad,” explained Alicia Meuret, a professor of psychology. ____37____ Improving positive emotions can be a higher priority for patients than containing their depressive symptoms. And researches show that treatments based on this idea can be effective.
To raise your reward sensitivity, you can try an exercise based on the treatment plans in these studies. Make it a daily practice for as long as it’s helpful, but commit to at least a week. Begin by planning one activity per day that will make you happy or give you a sense of accomplishment. ____38____ Be realistic — it can be as small as treating yourself to a favorite snack, reading a few pages of a novel or Face Timing a friend.
____39____Many of us struggle to label our positive emotions much beyond fine, good or great. But research suggests that finding more words to describe those feelings can validate and intensify them, Meuret said. When reflecting on how something made you feel, try to be precise, using words like serene, elated, exhilarated, delighted, and inspired.
A. Besides, you can share your positive feelings.
B. Also, you can expand your joy vocabulary.
C. This will make you less likely to postpone positive experiences.
D. Yet most of us don’t just need to reduce pain, we also need to boost joy.
E. We showed significantly improved feelings of optimism.
F. That’s even true for people with depression and anxiety who struggle to experience pleasure.
G. One proven strategy is to strengthen your reward sensitivity.
【答案】35. G 36. F 37. D 38. C 39. B
第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分）

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
It’s important to write down not only what your goals are, but also when, where and how you’ll accomplish them. Most of us assume those superachievers who are always able to eat healthy foods and pick their kids up on time must have superhuman self-control. But science points to a different answer: What we mistake for willpower is often a hallmark of habit.
People with good habits rarely need to resist the temptation to lie on the couch, order unhealthy takeout or delay on assignments. That’s because they have established good habits, with little to no willpower required to choose wisely.
Sounds great, right The only problem is that building good habits takes effort and insight. Thankfully, here are a few research-backed steps sourced from my book, “How to Change,” that can help you develop good habits.
Set a specific goal. The way you define the goal you hope to turn into a habit does matter. Goals such as “Memorize words regularly” are too abstract, research has shown. Also, you should find the right kind of social support. Good habits are contagious, so try to catch some habits by hanging out with people who are a little ahead of you on the learning curve. It’s important not to get too crazy — if you try to train with marathoners when you’re just hoping to work up to a 5K, I’ve found it can be discouraging.
One last thing to keep in mind is that habits can take some time to form. They don’t click overnight. Despite claims that there’s a “magic number” of days it takes to form a habit, I have disproven this myth in my recent research.

___________________________________________________________________________
41. Why do people with good habits rarely need to resist the temptation
___________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> To catch some habits, you can hang out with people who are a little behind you on the learning curve.
___________________________________________________________________________
43. Besides what is mentioned in the passage, what else can you do to develop a good habit in your daily life （In about 40 words）
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. We mistake willpower for super self-control.
41. People with good habits rarely need to resist temptation because they have ingrained positive behaviors that make wise choices automatic, requiring little to no willpower.
42. To catch some habits, you can hang out with people who are a little behind you on the learning curve. Because the passage indicates surrounding yourself with those who are ahead can provide motivation and inspiration, helping you adopt better habits more effectively.
43. Besides what is mentioned in the passage, you can develop a good habit by setting a daily reminder to practice the behavior, ensuring consistency and reinforcing your commitment to the goal.
