【答案】Dear Tony,
On behalf of Class 1, Grade 10, I am thrilled to invite you to join our weekend activity at the Gan Nan Navel
Orange Orchard.
We will gather at the school gate at 9 am on Saturday and head to the orchard for a hands-on navel orange
picking experience. For preparation, you’d better wear comfortable shoes and clothes. It promises to be a delightful
event that will not only deepen our understanding of local agriculture but also foster a stronger bond among us.
We have received enthusiastic responses from the students, and we believe your participation will make the
event even more memorable. Looking forward to your company.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】 It hit me that I had caused trouble. I dialed the number with a sense of trepidation, expecting anger
or accusations, but I was met with a calm and gentle voice. The car owner introduced himself as Mr. Smith and
expressed gratitude for my honest attempt to contact him. Despite the minor scratch on his car, Mr. Smith reassured
me that accidents happen and that he appreciated my willingness to take responsibility. He even shared stories of
his own hiking adventures, lightening the mood and showing genuine interest in our trip.
To my surprise, the owner was unbelievably understanding and kind. Our conversation left me feeling
relieved and inspired by Mr. Smith’s kindness. Before we ended the call, he declined any offer of financial
compensation, insisting it was unnecessary. I thanked him profusely and promised to pay his kindness forward. The
encounter served as a powerful reminder of the goodness and understanding in people. It taught me the importance
of honesty and taking responsibility, but most importantly, it showed me that empathy and compassion can turn a
potentially negative experience into a heartwarming one.

This is the third year in a row I’ve done this. We’re starting to become famous. I’m pretty sure I heard a boy
第 3页/共 11页
（北京）股份有限公司
cry out excitedly: “We have to go here. This is the best house in the neighborhood!” I loved seeing and hearing the
kids’ reactions. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that. Many mistakenly called them king-size bars (糖果棒). I
guess compared to the mini ones they look pretty big. There’s nothing better than seeing a kid’s eyes bug out when
you give them a full-size Snickers or M& Ms.
We had well over 200 trick or treaters this year and I still had to give some kids the backup (备用的) candy. I’
ll make sure to be prepared next year for at least 250. I’ve decided to leave work an hour early next year, to have
more time for taking my own kids trick or treating and to get back home in time to catch more of the younger trick
or treaters.
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year. Last year, Halloween came just a few weeks after my world fell apart
and I was just trying to take it one day at a time. I’ve been gradually making effort to restore my life bit by bit. My
life is still not great but it’s a lot better than where I was and getting better as time goes on.
Giving out full-size bars is honestly one of the best parts of my year. I just love seeing how happy it makes the
kids. I also don’t mind the teenagers coming to my house and say: “Treat or trick!”. Frankly speaking I guess that
about half of my trick or treaters were more than 13 years old. Childhood is so short. I’m more than OK with letting
them try to hold onto it a little longer.
4. Why did the boy cry out excitedly
A. He found good playmates. B. He would get full-sized bars.
C. He would settle down there. D. He achieved a good name.
5. Who are the trick or treaters in the passage
A. Trouble-makers. B. Lie-tellers. C. Candy-seekers. D. Gift-givers.
6. Which of the following best describes the author
A. Confident. B. Generous. C. Faithful. D. Curious.
7. What is the best title of the passage
A. Sharing candies, spreading joy. B. Giving treats, gaining knowledge.
C. Playing tricks, producing laughter. D. Enlarging sizes, enjoying childhood.
C
While huge progress has been made in cyber (网络)security one weakness continues to overshadow all
others: human error. Research has continually shown human error is responsible for most of successful cyber
attacks. A recent report puts the number at 68%.

No matter how advanced our technological protection become, the human factor is likely to remain the
weakest link in the cyber security chain. This weakness affects everyone using digital devices. Yet, traditional cyber
education and awareness programs and even new laws fail to address it enough.
There are two types of human error in cyber security. The first is skill-based errors. These appear when people
are doing routine things, especially when their attention is taken away. For example, you might forget to copy
desktop data from your computer even if you know you should do it and know how to do it (because you have done
it before). The second type is knowledge-based errors. These happen when someone with less experience makes
cyber security mistakes because they lack important knowledge or don’t follow specific rules.
Organizations and governments have put a lot of time and effort in cyber security education programs to
address human error. However, these programs have had mixed results. This is partly because many programs take
a technology-centric, one-size-fits-all method. They often focus on specific technical aspects. Yet, they don’t
address the possible psychological (心理的)and behavioral problems that influence people’s actions.
The reality is that changing human behaviour is far more complex (复杂的) than simply providing
information or requiring certain practices. A greater emphasis is needed on human-centered approaches to cyber
security where people’s needs, motivations, behaviors, and abilities come first in determining the design, and
operation, of information technology systems. If we can better understand what’s behind human error, we can
design more effective training programs and security practices that work with, rather than against human nature.
8. What do we know from paragraph 2
A. New laws are powerful enough. B. Technological defence is useless.
C. Digital devices are difficult to use. D. Human error is hard to deal with.
9. What might cause skill-based errors
A Being short of knowledge. B. Lacking valuable experience.
C. Failing to follow specific rules. D. Being attracted by other things.
10. Why do cyber security education programs have mixed results
A. They ignore psychological factors. B. They focus on all aspects of cyber.
C. They adopt a personalized method. D. They take too much time and effort.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to human-centered approaches
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Objective.

The late Charlie Munger was endlessly quoted as saying, “If you have a foolish incentive (激励) system, you
get foolish outcomes.” A couple of recent studies underline the risk that incentives will have unintended results.
One, from Jakob Altifian and Dirk Sliwka of the University of Cologne and Timo Vogelsang of the Frankfurt
School of Finance and Management, tested the effect of paying an attendance bonus (奖金) on levels of absence.
They did so by dividing workers at a German retailer into two groups and offered a financial reward or some extra
holidays for a perfect attendance record. However the bonus actually had the opposite effect: It actually increased
rates of absence by 50% on average. It seems that rewarding people for doing things that they would do anyway
can easily backfire.
To work out what was going on the researchers surveyed workers after the experiment had ended. They found
that the introduction of a bonus changed workers’ view on what counted as acceptable behaviour. The message that
attendance can get a reward made people feel less required to work and less guilty if they take sick leaves.
A second study, by Luan Yingyue and Kim Yeun Joon of the Cambridge Judge Business School, tested the
effects of making cooperativeness linked to money. Surveys on affected workers found that although there were
more frequent examples of helpful behaviour, the inner drive to be cooperative was on the decrease and the quality
of help that people actually gave each other went down.
The two studies prove the wisdom of Munger's saying. As Stephan Meier, an academic at Columbia Business
School, argues persuasively in “The Employee Advantage”, a new book, people are driven by many more things
than money. So incentives should be applied — with great care.
12. Why is Charlie Munger’s words mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To raise questions. B. To create a real situation.
C. To lead to the topic. D. To set out the background.
13. What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph2
A. Pay off at last. B. Come into effect.
C. Put out the fire. D. Have the opposite result.
14. What did the second study find
A. Workers got more rewards. B. The quality of help dropped.
C. Helpful behavior disappeared. D. Inner drive increased rapidly.
15. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Unexpected results of nice bonus. B. Different types of foolish incentives.
C. Unintended effects of poor incentives. D. Careful application of handsome bonus.

A Heartwarming Encounter At Shenandoah National Park
I wanted to share a recent experience that truly touched my heart and reminded me of just how good people
can be.
When I studied in the University of Virginia as an exchange student, I was fond of hiking, a sport that doesn’t
cost much. It was a glorious day, the sun shining brightly as I took an adventure to Shenandoah National Park with
my fellow classmates. The air was filled with a sense of excitement and expectation. We pulled into the parking lot
(停车场) cand found a perfect spot for our car. I threw open the passenger door very hard and it accidentally
bumped into the car parked beside us. However, I was so excited about the hike that I didn’t even notice it at all.
The beauty of nature surrounded us at every turn, from the majestic (雄伟壮丽的)mountains to the
crystal-clear streams. The fresh air filled our lungs as we hiked through the wilderness, forgetting all our worries
and troubles. Time seemed to fly by as we explored the wonders of the park.
Finally, after a long and fulfilling day, we made our way back to the parking lot. As we approached our car, I
was confused when I saw a note stuck on our windshield (挡风玻璃). I grabbed the note and it read: “I’m the
owner of the car parked next to yours. Here is my phone number. Please call me at your earliest convenience.”
It hit me that I had caused trouble.
