Possessing a considerable amount of familiarity with Toastmasters, an association dedicated to assisting individuals in surmounting the trepidation associated with public oratory, I became a member several years in the past, harboring aspirations of enhancing my own capabilities in addressing an audience. Subsequent to the delivery of one of my discourses, the remarks I garnered were rather severe. Irrespective of whether they were intended to be beneficial or not, the criticism was challenging to accept, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of emotional distress.
During my tenure with Toastmasters, I gleaned a multitude of insights, one of which pertained to the significance of efficacious feedback. For adults, embracing the critiques of others is a formidable task, even when such critiques are proffered with the best of intentions. Consequently, it is only logical to anticipate that children will encounter similar difficulties in this regard. However, the feedback that our progeny receive from educators and parental figures is instrumental in their overall growth and maturation. Thus, as parents, it is incumbent upon us to master the art of delivering feedback in a manner that is both effective and constructive, and we must also endeavor to educate our children on how to receive such feedback with an open mind and sagacious discernment.
The manner in which parents convey their feedback is of equal import to the precise terminology employed. It is entirely feasible to have the most altruistic of intentions, yet if the feedback is communicated ineptly, it can prove to be detrimental rather than advantageous.
Establishing a domestic environment that is both welcoming and secure for the reception and assimilation of feedback is of paramount importance. Particularly within the dynamic between a child and their parent, the feedback exchanged should be salutary, edifying, and consistent.
The choice of words utilized is equally significant. In an article published in The New York Times, authored by Dr. Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist affiliated with the Wharton School, he posits that employing nouns as opposed to verbs when encouraging children is "22 to 29 percent more effective." However, when dispensing negative feedback, it is generally more advantageous to utilize verbs.
The feedback provided by a parent serves as the foundational framework that shapes how a child will subsequently manage their internal dialogue. To illustrate, consider a conversation you might engage in with your child regarding their aspirations. Your feedback has the potential not only to prompt them to concentrate on their current position but also to reflect upon the progress they have made thus far. This type of feedback can act as a catalyst, propelling them forward to achieve their ultimate objectives.
4.Why does the author mention his experience with Toastmasters？ ______
A. To tell us what is good feedback.
B. To tell us to join Toastmasters.
C. To show the main function of feedback.
D. To show the necessity of proper feedback.
5.Which of the following feedback is effective according to Dr.Adam Grant？ ______
①You're a big helper.
②You're a poor math learner.
③You've been helpful this afternoon.
④You didn't do well on this math test.
A. ①② B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ③④
6.What does the underlined word "spur" in the last paragraph mean？ ______
A. Limit. B. Monitor. C. Persuade. D. Inspire.
7.Which can be the best title for the passage？ ______
A. The way to respond to feedback B. The value of accepting feedback
C. How to give effective feedback D. How to become a better speaker
C
Google's recently unveiled Willow quantum chip constitutes a momentous advancement within the realm of quantum computation. Boasting 105 physical quantum bits, it is capable of executing an intricate benchmark computation in a span of under five minutes, a feat that would demand an astronomical 1025 years from the swiftest conventional computer for the identical operation. This chip signifies a substantial technological leap forward, as it addresses the enduring conundrum of quantum error rectification.
The operational modality of Willow is predicated upon its sophisticated error correction procedures. It utilizes quantum correction codes, wherein a multitude of physical quantum bits are interlinked to forge a solitary logical quantum bit, thereby facilitating the detection of discrepancies without perturbing the pristine quantum state. Additionally, the chip integrates a system of vigilant oversight that ceaselessly tracks qubit behavior, discerns irregularities in real-time, and promptly implements corrective measures to rectify errors.
The amalgamation of real-time error correction and incessant surveillance, coupled with an optimized architecture for qubit manipulation, empowers Willow to diminish errors exponentially as the quantum bit count escalates. This represents a monumental accomplishment, resolving an issue that has beleaguered the field for nearly three decades and heralding the advent of more potent and pragmatic quantum computing systems in the years to come.
The prospective applications of Willow are extensive, encompassing the acceleration of pharmaceutical discovery, the enhancement of electric vehicle battery design, and the progression of fusion energy and novel energy alternatives. In summation, Google's Willow quantum chip harbors immense potential for the trajectory of computing and a plethora of industries.
However, it is imperative to acknowledge that Willow remains in the nascent laboratory phase and necessitates additional testing and refinement prior to practical deployment. With its current complement of 105 qubits, it is insufficiently expansive to tackle genuinely beneficial and complex real-world challenges. Experts posit that a quantum chip with millions of qubits may be requisite to address significant industrial conundrums. Furthermore, the chip's operational parameters demand exceedingly low temperatures and highly controlled laboratory settings, which impede its immediate practical utility. Consequently, while Willow augurs well for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet primed for practical applications in the present context.

A modest assemblage of intrepid and inquisitive youthful Irish musicians have assumed the mantle of safeguarding a legacy of melodies. Their initiative endeavors to position the senior members of a generation teetering on the brink of obsolescence before a microphone, thereby preserving their songs and narratives for the edification and study of future musicians in perpetuity.
Numerous experts frequently sound the alarm regarding the extent to which the oral traditions of humanity are relinquished to the encroachment of modernity on an annual basis. In Ireland, a nation renowned for its vocalists, the Song Collectors Collective (SCC) commemorates this heritage by paying homage to the individuals who have sustained its foundational essence. The majority of these custodians hail from the reclusive traveler communities. Instead of merely amassing lyrics, each song is accessible solely through an exploration of the life and narrative of the individual who rendered it for the SCC, or the so-called "Tradition Bearer."
Consider, for instance, Freda Black, a great-grandmother in her mid-eighties. She harbored such a plethora of songs that she confessed to being incapable of enumerating them all. She subsequently gained prominence in a recently launched album by a contemporary folk artist and SCC member, Sam Lee. "I relish the moments spent at the knees of these elders," Lee remarked. "I am exceedingly fortunate. I am capturing the remnants of an era."
"It is a prevalent plea for the songs and tales to be documented and disseminated, as the old customs are no longer being conveyed, and this vast repository of knowledge pertaining to an archaic mode of existence is on the verge of being consigned to oblivion. In this contemporary epoch of readily accessible recording technology, there is no justification for failing to chronicle and share this opulent yet fragile tradition," the SCC asserted. Having amassed hundreds of recordings from a multitude of singers, the SCC is commencing to organize educational events, sharing the stories and vocal renditions with those who are keen to listen, as well as imparting knowledge on how individuals can become collectors in their own right.
12.How do those young Irish musicians save the tradition of songs？ ______
A. By spreading their new music styles .
B. By recording old folk songs and related stories.
C. By teaching young people to learn traditional songs.
D. By improving the living conditions of elderly musicians.
13.What can we infer from Sam Lee's words？ ______
A. He is glad to keep a valuable tradition of music.
B. His latest album carries the memory of his grandma.
C. He is lucky to have got some help in learning music.
D. His music is inspired by conversations with Freda Black.
14.What further promotes the SCC's protection of the oral tradition？ ______
A. Market demand. B. The support of famous musicians.
C. High praise from the elderly. D. Technological progress.
15.Which of the following can best describe the SCC's work？ ______
A. Effective and interesting. B. Successful but confusing.
C. Necessary and meaningful. D. Professional but dangerous.

47. Calvin's day camp instructor, Autumn, distributed a sheet of paper adorned with images and descriptions of various avian species, along with a diminutive pair of binoculars, to each camper in attendance. With a flourish, she proclaimed, "We are embarking on a one-week endeavor known as 'Big Week,' during which you will endeavor to identify birds and duly mark them on the provided paper. The individual who successfully identifies the greatest number of birds shall emerge victorious."
Another contest loomed on the horizon. Ever since the inception of the camp, Gladys had consistently outdone Calvin in every challenge presented. If Calvin were to triumph in this particular competition, perhaps he could finally demonstrate to Gladys that she was not invincible. "How can you ascertain whether I have genuinely observed..." Calvin perused the list. "...a glossy ibis " he inquired. "I cannot," Autumn responded matter-of-factly. "A Big Week operates on the premise of integrity and honesty."
The following day, at the nature preserve, as the campers concealed themselves behind a thicket of bushes, Gladys caught sight of a magnificent great egret. "That was my magnanimous gesture to you," Gladys whispered loudly, her tone imbued with a palpable sense of competitive fervor. "As if I would have overlooked such a colossal bird," Calvin retorted indignantly. Suddenly, a flurry of birds erupted above Calvin's head. Thunk! He tumbled backward, landing on his posterior. Gladys hurried over to him, assisting him in rising and offering a piece of advice, "Here is a valuable tip: endeavor to be QUIET."
That evening, as twilight descended, a sizable bird alighted on a tree in Calvin's neighbor's yard. Calvin trained his binoculars on the creature. The bird possessed a strikingly bright red eye, a thick and straight bill, a white throat and breast, and—oh, marvel of marvels—elongated, slender, white feathers adorning the back of its head. "A black-crowned night heron!" he whispered with unbridled excitement, wholly engrossed in his avian observation.
As the week progressed, the rivalry between the campers intensified. Calvin was determined to secure victory in this contest. However, the prospect of triumph seemed increasingly tenuous. Then, a thought occurred to him—he had previously discovered a feather that Autumn had surmised belonged to a Cooper's hawk. Close enough, he rationalized. He marked it on his sheet, along with a few additional birds. What difference would it make He had seen them in the past, or he was certain to encounter them in the future. With a gulp, he steeled himself. No one would ever discover the truth.
On the final day of Big Week, Autumn brandished Gladys's checklist triumphantly in the air. "Twenty-six is the number to surmount. Does anyone else have a higher tally " she queried, her eyes scanning the assembled campers with anticipation.
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。
Reviewing the 29 birds marked on his list，Calvin felt his face heated up._____
Autumn awarded Gladys a Big Week T-shirt._____

Possessing a considerable amount of familiarity with Toastmasters, an association dedicated to assisting individuals in surmounting the trepidation associated with public oratory, I became a member several years in the past, harboring aspirations of enhancing my own capabilities in addressing an audience. Subsequent to the delivery of one of my discourses, the remarks I garnered were rather severe. Irrespective of whether they were intended to be beneficial or not, the criticism was challenging to accept, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of emotional distress.
During my tenure with Toastmasters, I gleaned a multitude of insights, one of which pertained to the significance of efficacious feedback. For adults, embracing the critiques of others is a formidable task, even when such critiques are proffered with the best of intentions. Consequently, it is only logical to anticipate that children will encounter similar difficulties in this regard. However, the feedback that our progeny receive from educators and parental figures is instrumental in their overall growth and maturation. Thus, as parents, it is incumbent upon us to master the art of delivering feedback in a manner that is both effective and constructive, and we must also endeavor to educate our children on how to receive such feedback with an open mind and sagacious discernment.
The manner in which parents convey their feedback is of equal import to the precise terminology employed. It is entirely feasible to have the most altruistic of intentions, yet if the feedback is communicated ineptly, it can prove to be detrimental rather than advantageous.
Establishing a domestic environment that is both welcoming and secure for the reception and assimilation of feedback is of paramount importance. Particularly within the dynamic between a child and their parent, the feedback exchanged should be salutary, edifying, and consistent.
The choice of words utilized is equally significant. In an article published in The New York Times, authored by Dr. Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist affiliated with the Wharton School, he posits that employing nouns as opposed to verbs when encouraging children is "22 to 29 percent more effective." However, when dispensing negative feedback, it is generally more advantageous to utilize verbs.
The feedback provided by a parent serves as the foundational framework that shapes how a child will subsequently manage their internal dialogue. To illustrate, consider a conversation you might engage in with your child regarding their aspirations. Your feedback has the potential not only to prompt them to concentrate on their current position but also to reflect upon the progress they have made thus far. This type of feedback can act as a catalyst, propelling them forward to achieve their ultimate objectives.
4.Why does the author mention his experience with Toastmasters？ ______
A. To tell us what is good feedback.
B. To tell us to join Toastmasters.
C. To show the main function of feedback.
D. To show the necessity of proper feedback.
5.Which of the following feedback is effective according to Dr.Adam Grant？ ______
①You're a big helper.
②You're a poor math learner.
③You've been helpful this afternoon.
④You didn't do well on this math test.
A. ①② B. ①④ C. ②③ D. ③④
6.What does the underlined word "spur" in the last paragraph mean？ ______
A. Limit. B. Monitor. C. Persuade. D. Inspire.
7.Which can be the best title for the passage？ ______
A. The way to respond to feedback B. The value of accepting feedback
C. How to give effective feedback D. How to become a better speaker
C
Google's recently unveiled Willow quantum chip constitutes a momentous advancement within the realm of quantum computation. Boasting 105 physical quantum bits, it is capable of executing an intricate benchmark computation in a span of under five minutes, a feat that would demand an astronomical 1025 years from the swiftest conventional computer for the identical operation. This chip signifies a substantial technological leap forward, as it addresses the enduring conundrum of quantum error rectification.
The operational modality of Willow is predicated upon its sophisticated error correction procedures. It utilizes quantum correction codes, wherein a multitude of physical quantum bits are interlinked to forge a solitary logical quantum bit, thereby facilitating the detection of discrepancies without perturbing the pristine quantum state. Additionally, the chip integrates a system of vigilant oversight that ceaselessly tracks qubit behavior, discerns irregularities in real-time, and promptly implements corrective measures to rectify errors.
The amalgamation of real-time error correction and incessant surveillance, coupled with an optimized architecture for qubit manipulation, empowers Willow to diminish errors exponentially as the quantum bit count escalates. This represents a monumental accomplishment, resolving an issue that has beleaguered the field for nearly three decades and heralding the advent of more potent and pragmatic quantum computing systems in the years to come.
The prospective applications of Willow are extensive, encompassing the acceleration of pharmaceutical discovery, the enhancement of electric vehicle battery design, and the progression of fusion energy and novel energy alternatives. In summation, Google's Willow quantum chip harbors immense potential for the trajectory of computing and a plethora of industries.
However, it is imperative to acknowledge that Willow remains in the nascent laboratory phase and necessitates additional testing and refinement prior to practical deployment. With its current complement of 105 qubits, it is insufficiently expansive to tackle genuinely beneficial and complex real-world challenges. Experts posit that a quantum chip with millions of qubits may be requisite to address significant industrial conundrums. Furthermore, the chip's operational parameters demand exceedingly low temperatures and highly controlled laboratory settings, which impede its immediate practical utility. Consequently, while Willow augurs well for the future of quantum computing, it is not yet primed for practical applications in the present context.
8.What should be left undisturbed when solving the problem of quantum error correction？ ______

A modest assemblage of intrepid and inquisitive youthful Irish musicians have assumed the mantle of safeguarding a legacy of melodies. Their initiative endeavors to position the senior members of a generation teetering on the brink of obsolescence before a microphone, thereby preserving their songs and narratives for the edification and study of future musicians in perpetuity.
Numerous experts frequently sound the alarm regarding the extent to which the oral traditions of humanity are relinquished to the encroachment of modernity on an annual basis. In Ireland, a nation renowned for its vocalists, the Song Collectors Collective (SCC) commemorates this heritage by paying homage to the individuals who have sustained its foundational essence. The majority of these custodians hail from the reclusive traveler communities. Instead of merely amassing lyrics, each song is accessible solely through an exploration of the life and narrative of the individual who rendered it for the SCC, or the so-called "Tradition Bearer."
Consider, for instance, Freda Black, a great-grandmother in her mid-eighties. She harbored such a plethora of songs that she confessed to being incapable of enumerating them all. She subsequently gained prominence in a recently launched album by a contemporary folk artist and SCC member, Sam Lee. "I relish the moments spent at the knees of these elders," Lee remarked. "I am exceedingly fortunate. I am capturing the remnants of an era."
"It is a prevalent plea for the songs and tales to be documented and disseminated, as the old customs are no longer being conveyed, and this vast repository of knowledge pertaining to an archaic mode of existence is on the verge of being consigned to oblivion. In this contemporary epoch of readily accessible recording technology, there is no justification for failing to chronicle and share this opulent yet fragile tradition," the SCC asserted. Having amassed hundreds of recordings from a multitude of singers, the SCC is commencing to organize educational events, sharing the stories and vocal renditions with those who are keen to listen, as well as imparting knowledge on how individuals can become collectors in their own right.
12.How do those young Irish musicians save the tradition of songs？ ______
A. By spreading their new music styles .
B. By recording old folk songs and related stories.
C. By teaching young people to learn traditional songs.
D. By improving the living conditions of elderly musicians.
13.What can we infer from Sam Lee's words？ ______
A. He is glad to keep a valuable tradition of music.
B. His latest album carries the memory of his grandma.
C. He is lucky to have got some help in learning music.
D. His music is inspired by conversations with Freda Black.
14.What further promotes the SCC's protection of the oral tradition？ ______
A. Market demand. B. The support of famous musicians.
C. High praise from the elderly. D. Technological progress.
15.Which of the following can best describe the SCC's work？ ______
A. Effective and interesting. B. Successful but confusing.
C. Necessary and meaningful. D. Professional but dangerous.

47. Calvin's day camp instructor, Autumn, distributed a sheet of paper adorned with images and descriptions of various avian species, along with a diminutive pair of binoculars, to each camper in attendance. With a flourish, she proclaimed, "We are embarking on a one-week endeavor known as 'Big Week,' during which you will endeavor to identify birds and duly mark them on the provided paper. The individual who successfully identifies the greatest number of birds shall emerge victorious."
Another contest loomed on the horizon. Ever since the inception of the camp, Gladys had consistently outdone Calvin in every challenge presented. If Calvin were to triumph in this particular competition, perhaps he could finally demonstrate to Gladys that she was not invincible. "How can you ascertain whether I have genuinely observed..." Calvin perused the list. "...a glossy ibis " he inquired. "I cannot," Autumn responded matter-of-factly. "A Big Week operates on the premise of integrity and honesty."
The following day, at the nature preserve, as the campers concealed themselves behind a thicket of bushes, Gladys caught sight of a magnificent great egret. "That was my magnanimous gesture to you," Gladys whispered loudly, her tone imbued with a palpable sense of competitive fervor. "As if I would have overlooked such a colossal bird," Calvin retorted indignantly. Suddenly, a flurry of birds erupted above Calvin's head. Thunk! He tumbled backward, landing on his posterior. Gladys hurried over to him, assisting him in rising and offering a piece of advice, "Here is a valuable tip: endeavor to be QUIET."
That evening, as twilight descended, a sizable bird alighted on a tree in Calvin's neighbor's yard. Calvin trained his binoculars on the creature. The bird possessed a strikingly bright red eye, a thick and straight bill, a white throat and breast, and—oh, marvel of marvels—elongated, slender, white feathers adorning the back of its head. "A black-crowned night heron!" he whispered with unbridled excitement, wholly engrossed in his avian observation.
As the week progressed, the rivalry between the campers intensified. Calvin was determined to secure victory in this contest. However, the prospect of triumph seemed increasingly tenuous. Then, a thought occurred to him—he had previously discovered a feather that Autumn had surmised belonged to a Cooper's hawk. Close enough, he rationalized. He marked it on his sheet, along with a few additional birds. What difference would it make He had seen them in the past, or he was certain to encounter them in the future. With a gulp, he steeled himself. No one would ever discover the truth.
On the final day of Big Week, Autumn brandished Gladys's checklist triumphantly in the air. "Twenty-six is the number to surmount. Does anyone else have a higher tally " she queried, her eyes scanning the assembled campers with anticipation.
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。

答案：B 解析：根据文章中提到的Dr. Adam Grant的观点，“employing nouns as opposed to verbs when encouraging children is '22 to 29 percent more effective.' However, when dispensing negative feedback, it is generally more advantageous to utilize verbs.”（在鼓励孩子时使用名词而不是动词“更有效22%到29%”。然而，在给予负面反馈时，通常更有优势使用动词。）可以看出，有效的正面反馈应该是使用名词，而有效的负面反馈应该是使用动词。选项①（You're a big helper.）使用了名词，是有效的正面反馈；选项④（You didn't do well on this math test.）使用了动词，是有效的负面反馈。因此，选项B（①④）是正确答案。
答案：D 解析：文章最后一段提到，“This type of feedback can act as a catalyst, propelling them forward to achieve their ultimate objectives.”（这种反馈可以起到催化剂的作用，推动他们向前，实现最终目标。）在这里，“spur”一词的意思是“刺激”或“激励”，与“propelling them forward”（推动他们向前）的意思相呼应。因此，选项D（Inspire）是正确答案。
答案：C 解析：整篇文章都在讨论如何给予有效的反馈，作者通过自己的经历和专家的观点，提供了关于如何给予和接受反馈的建议。因此，选项C（How to give effective feedback）是最合适的标题。文章并不是在讨论如何回应反馈（A），也不是在讨论接受反馈的价值（B），更不是在讨论如何成为更好的演讲者（D）。
