Why go to Madrid
There may be a slight chill (寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃ in March, but Spain’s handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.
A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain’s greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the
studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.
Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.
How to go
The widest range of fights is offered by EasyJet — from Bristo Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister airline Iberia combine forces from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.
Barajas airport is 13km north-cast of the city center and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Miniterios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city entre is ?4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; ?5 ore way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city center. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of ?30 covers most of central Madrid.
1. When will the exhibition about Picasso close
A. On 23 March. B. On 11 May.
C. On 24 June. D. On 5 October.
2. Which airline operates flights from Manchester to Madrid
A. EasyJet. B. Ryanair.
C. Air Europa. D. British Airways.
3. What is the fastest way to reach central Madrid from Barajas airport
A. Take a taxi. B. Take a city bus.
C. Take Metro line 8. D. Take the airport express bus.
B
When the pool near Paris where he worked as a lifeguard was closed due to poor economic conditions, Guillaume Pop took jobs at various other pools that were almost empty. At one pool there was a small waterslide (水滑道), which gave the 22-year-old former competitive swimmer an idea: he would make a TikTok video in which he pretended to be a“professional waterslide tester”.
Shooting down a slide in hard hat and hi-viz vest (防护衣) or smiling broadly in cool shapes to the music, Pop soon became a social media hit. He was hired to “test” slides and other facilities at water parks, swimming pools
and campsites all over France. Today, he has more than half a million followers on TikTok and his own real-life waterslide-testing business. No longer working as a lifeguard, he travels the country checking the condition of waterslides, trying them out to determine how fun they are and creating amusing videos to attract customers.
“First of all, I check it without water, to make sure it’s in an acceptable state,” explains Pop, who must keep up-to-date on water park regulations. If he finds a waterslide needs work — for example, if there are bumpy joints, which can hurt sliders — management will bring in a specialist repairer. “After that, I test it with water,” Pop says.
Then he moves on to the fun, promotional aspect. Sometimes he takes over a leisure park and invites social media influencers to enjoy it too. In 2022, he took 25 influencers to O’Gliss Park, an enormous water park on the Atlantic coast.
Pop estimates he’s tested around 700 French waterslides and is now eyeing water parks abroad, such as Switzerland, Portugal and Spain, where he has been testing slides during the winter. “It’s the best job in the world,” declares Pop, whose videos have received 80 million views. “I’m not behind a desk. I’m active and outside in the sun. And I build a positive relationship with customers. In fact, all the children tell me they want to be a waterslide tester!”
4. What motivated Guillaume Pop to make TikTok videos about waterslides
A. His interest in lifeguarding techniques.
B. His passion for competitive swimming.
C. A suggestion from his friends to become a social media hit.
D. The loss of his lifeguard job due to poor economic conditions.
5. How did Guillaume Pop’s career change after gaining popularity on TikTok
A. He began working as a manager at a water park.
B. He started a real-life waterslide-testing business.
C. He joined a professional swimming team in Paris.
D. He became a lifeguard at multiple pools in France.
6. Why does Guillaume Pop describe his job as“the best job in the world”
A. He gains a high salary and job security.
B. He tests over 700 waterslides in France.
C. He gets to travel extensively to different countries.
D. He enjoys working outdoors and interacting with customers.
7. Which is a suitable title for the text
A. Guillaume Pop: The TikTok Star of Water Parks
B. Guillaume Pop: From Lifeguard to a Traveler in Paris
C. Guillaume Pop’s Journey: From Pool Closures to Waterslide Adventures
D. Guillaume Pop’s Journey: Creating Waves in Swimming Pools
C
We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from “No one is going to miss you at the party” to “I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.
Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock’s tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.
8. What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage
A. The cultural implications of high chroma colors.
B. The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.
C. The connection between clothing and job suitability.
D. The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.
9. What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Draw on. B. Approve of. C. Subscribe to. D. Dig up.
10. Which might be a limitation of the study
A The culturally specific findings. B. The unmonitored research process.
C. The outdated data analysis methods. D. The relatively insufficient theoretical basis.
11. What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph
A. Reserve bright colors for social events. B. Always wear bright colors to be noticed.
C. Avoid bright colors in professional settings. D. Use bright colors strategically based on your goals.
D
At a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: “Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor. He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made — be was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same.
To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back — to the nature of science itself. Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories change, so do scientific methods.
Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks, and for scientific arguments develop into personal battles. Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong — a goal that your critic probably shares.
One worry about this approach is that it could be demoralizing for scientists. Striving to be less wrong might be a less effective motivation than the promise of being right. Another concern is that a strategy that works well within science could backfire when it comes to communicating science with the public. Without an appreciation for how science works, it’s easy to take disagreements as marks against science, when in fact they reflect some of the very features of science that make it our best approach to reaching reliable conclusions about the world. Science is reliable because it responds to evidence: as the quantity and quality of our evidence improves, our theories can and should change, too.
Despite these worries, I like Nosek’s suggestion because it builds in an awareness of our limitations and a readiness to accept the unknown (“there are things I do not know!”) along with a sense that we can do better (“there are things I do not know yet!”). It also builds in a sense of community — we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right.
12. Why did Nosek give the advice to the author
A To express different opinions on my claims. B. To advocate a better approach to science.
C. To better my understanding of psychology. D. To encourage me to take up science.
13. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Discouraging. B. Ineffective.
C. Misleading. D. Unfair.
14. The strategy of “assuming you are wrong” may contribute to ________.
A. the enormous efforts of scientists at work B. the reliability of potential research results
C. the public’s passion for scientific findings D. the quantity of the evidence and theories
15. How does the author sound in the text
A. Formal. B. Conversational.
C. Authoritative. D. Ironic.

Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in She scanned the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams ” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else ”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的)artwork titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity.

【答案】
As AI enters different aspects of our life, it also has an impact on how we learn in our study. As far as I am concerned, we may take advantage of AI but shouldn’t fully depend on it.
Too much dependence on AI weakens our learning capacity. For example, a student who turns to AI for help each time he is assigned to a composition tends to fail to complete a paper in his exam.
Therefore, AI should be considered as a tool for consultation if necessary. It can’t and won’t replace wisdom of human brain.

【答案】Paragraph 1: As the students worked. Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was now blending them together to create a swirling sky filled with fantastical creatures that flew over a stone castle. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding playful details to her section of the paper-a whimsical garden where flowers wore hats and creatures rested on the ice cream-topped trees. Mary felt a wave of relief washed over her. The room was alive with chatter and laughter, as Akila and Tina frequently exchanged ideas and inspired one another. Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity.
Paragraph 2: Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enomious canvas had transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each student’s imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their individuality yet spoke to their collective spirit. Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her; she realized that in letting go of rigid
structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality. Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class had not only embraced their own creative paths but had also nurtured each other’s ideas. They were thrilled, “It was the best painting ever! We should definitely hang it on the wall!” Inspired by the moment, Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of imagination unleashed in her classroom.
