Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed,
a number of studies have found an association between humour and intelligence. Researchers
in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour,
have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知)
and emotional ability to process and produce humour. Their analysis shows that funny people
have higher intelligence, and they score lower in mood disturbance (忧虑) and aggressiveness
(攻击性).
In psychology we use the term“positive humour style”to refer to people who use humour
to enhance relationships and reduce conflict. This type of humour is associated with
relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外 向 性 ) and high self-respect. Having a humorous
outlook on life is also a good coping strategy. It helps people better manage stress and
challenges.
Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And
laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence.
Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as
joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine
not only make us feel great, it also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which
enables and sustains more neural (神经) connections. As a result, we become more flexible
and creative in our thinking, and better at solving problems. It also boosts our working
memory.
Evidence suggests that humour actually bolster feelings of confidence, competence and
status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps
communicate messages and aids learning. Itis a powerful tool that many successful leaders
use to enhance group work and organizational culture. Studies of positive organizations
suggest the more fun we have at work the more productive we are, and the less likely we are
to suffer burn-out.
Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an
effective aid to learning. Several studies have demonstrated that lessons that are delivered
with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students comprehension and
recall of the topic.
4．What can we learn from the researchers in Austria
A．People enjoy dark humour most.
B．Less funny people are aggressive.
C．Funny people are always emotional.
D．Humorous people have a brilliant mind.
5．What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3
A．The benefit of laughter.
B．The reason of our brain changes.
C．The way of being creative in thinking.
D．The association of humor and intelligence.
6．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolster”
A．Combine. B．Increase.
C．Explain. D．Damage.
7．What can be concluded from the research in education
A．Teachers are always humorous in class.
B．Students can understand humour better in class.
C．Humorous classes are more efficient for students.
D．Effective learning depends on students’ humour levels.

I don’ t remember exactly when my love for second-hand books began, but I remember
walking along the footpaths of Kings Circle, where my aunt lived, to make my birthday money
stretch further by seeing just how many Agatha Christies I could buy.
For many like me, there is a joy that comes from looking through other people’ s
collections — and often accidentally discovering the kinds of writing you had not known
existed. That is, after all, what second-hand bookshops were created for, I think.
It was in Literati Bookshop in Goa that I picked up my son Re’s first cookbook — My
Learn to Cook Book, originally gifted to a Sherry in 1973 by Aunty Banso and Uncle Keki,
going by the inscription (题字) inside. Also written alongside, in a different handwriting,
was “Sherry’s first cooking book.” Maybe this was done by Sherry or her parent. I can’t
tell. What I can say is that they did have a lot of fun cooking from this book as Re and I
did — we made baked potatoes, zoo biscuits and fruit cakes from the recipes inside.
Yashasvi Vachhani, a Mumbai-based writer and a second-hand book lover, said, “I once
picked up a copy of Embers by Sandor Marai which had notes and thoughts written in green ink
on the margin (边 缘 ). The whole experience of reading the book was like having a
conversation with the previous reader, agreeing with a few points, and adding my own
thoughts. It was a great experience, one I still remember fondly.”
The most precious second-hand book experience for me was receiving a copy of a
dictionary that my late father-in-law had lovingly saved since it was first gifted to his
son in 1980 and then came to mine, 38 years later. “I feel like a part of history, Mamma!”
Re said, when he read the inscription inside from his grandfather to his father.
He is. We all are when we hold a second-hand book in our hands.
8．Why does the author like visiting second-hand bookshops
A．She is on a very tight budget. B．She is quite into old editions.
C．She comes upon unexpected finds. D．It enables her to meet like-minded people.
9．What can we learn about Re’s first cookbook
A．It witnessed much family cooking time. B．It was passed down through
generations.
C．It recorded Sherry’s cooking journey in detail. D．It was intended as a gift from his
aunt and uncle.
10．What can we learn about Yashasvi Vachhani’s experience of reading Embers
A．She shared her thoughts with the previous reader.
B．She took pleasure in reading the handwritten notes.
C．She tried not to be influenced by the handwritten notes.
D．She agreed with just a few points the writer made in the book.
11．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．My idea about book shopping B．Old books: a hidden part of family history
C．My passion for reading second-hand books D．Reading: a family tradition that has been
passed down
D
Perfectionism and punctuality are often at odds in the workplace. But according to a
recent study, it is better to submit a good-enough project on time rather than perfecting it
through procrastination.
Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. and U.K., including managers and
others whose jobs included evaluating others. They presented participants with the same
examples of work, and then asked them to rate it. But first, they mentioned whether it was
either submitted early, right at the deadline or late.
Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality
than those who were told the same work was early or on time. The study also finds there isn’
t much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted
before and at the deadline as the same quality. Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the
work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively and that
remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning.
A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade
pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the
date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the
paper other than the art itself, the version submitted after the deadline received lower
grades. That study makes the broader point that it doesn’ t really matter who set the
deadline. In the eyes of the evaluator, any miss is a meaningful miss.
However, the reason behind the missed deadline mattered, researchers found. If it was
due to forces beyond an employee’ s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a
view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason
why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your
manager know,” Maglio says. “That seems to be one of the few instances in which people cut
you a break.”
12．What does the underlined word “procrastination” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Editing. B．Delay.
C．Co-operation. D．Redrafting.
13．What can be concluded from the research result
A．Submitting work early earns a boost in evaluations.
B．Pre-communicated delays lead to positive evaluations.
C．Minimal delays get better evaluations than long delays.
D．Late work is judged more negatively than on-time submissions.
14．What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China
A．The art itself rather than other details counts.
B．Kids tend to judge submissions more objectively.
C．A peer-to-peer evaluation can be an informative tool.
D．The research finding holds true across age and culture.
15．What can be implied from the last paragraph
A．A hard deadline is often negotiable.
B．Bosses need to care about employees.
C．Communication around deadlines is vital.
D．The evaluation strategy should be improved.

Most people connect running with speed. It is often regarded as an exercise that leaves
runners breathless and tired when they finish. On the other hand, when someone runs slowly,
they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort. 16 Slow jogging, a
leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine.
17 For a competitive marathon runner, a slow speed will be very different from
that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around their neighborhood. Slow jogging
can actually be defined as the speed at which you can easily carry on a conversation with
someone while running for a long time. If you measure your speed for a five-kilometer race,
slow jogging will usually be around two minutes slower per kilometer. 18
There are some tips for you to start your slow jogging. 19 This includes taking
shorter, quicker steps — about 180 per minute — and landing on the mid-foot rather than
the heel. Meanwhile, individuals should stand tall while jogging with their back straight
and shoulders relaxed.
Running is an activity that can be hard on muscles and bones, especially if you keep a
consistent speed for a long period. Slowing your speed helps prevent injuries by spreading
stress to different areas of your body and reducing the effect on joints. Moreover, slow
jogging is a good exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs. 20 Perhaps most
importantly, jogging at a slower speed allows you to enjoy run more. If you are interested
in getting any of these benefits, it’s certainly worth giving slow running a try.
A．The idea of “slow” can differ greatly between persons.
B．However, different running styles have different benefits.
C．It also helps in burning fat more efficiently in your body.
D．For most people, this speed is just slightly faster than walking.
E．Recovery from slow jogging can last from several days to weeks.
F．Despite is slow speed, keeping proper body’s position is important.
G．Running at a slow speed might give the impression that time passes more slowly.

四、书面表达（满分 25 分）
32．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sara was a high school student who was known for her hard work and desire for
perfection. Whenever a task was given to her by the teachers, she always wanted to do it
perfectly. This sense of responsibility made her a favorite among teachers, but it also
placed heavy pressure on her shoulders. She feared making mistakes and would often stress
over even the smallest of errors.
One day, a painting competition was announced at the school. Sara eagerly decided to
participate in the competition. Painting had always been one of her favorite hobbies, and
she loved the idea of competing. The winner would receive a prize, and while that sounded
great, Sara was glad to have the chance to prove herself. However, this time painting didn’t
feel fun. Each time she picked up her brush, a heavy feeling of anxiety clouded her thoughts.
The fear of not being the best in the competition controlled her.
As days passed, it became increasingly difficult for Sara to concentrate. While other
participants were making progress, Sara was caught in her thoughts. She couldn’t even decide
what to paint. Images of her competitors confidently working on their pieces filled her with
a sense of inability. With only two days left before the competition, Sara’s anxiety grew
worse. She spent the entire day with negative thoughts, feeling unworthy and untalented.
At school, Sara saw her classmates close to finishing their artwork, their laughter and
excitement going sharply against her internal struggles. The pressure to perform perfectly
had turned into an intense fear that kept her from even picking up a brush. Sara began to
doubt her abilities, believing that she couldn’t finish anything well. She felt lost in a
cycle of anxiety, and the joy she once found in painting seemed to fade further away. With
each passing moment, she questioned whether she should even participate at all, fearing that
failure would only prove her worst beliefs in herself.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing Sara’s trouble, her teacher asked her to come to him and showed her a beautiful
glass cup.
