Here are some of the best UK swimming spots.
RIVER THAMES
The River Thames might inspire images of muddy，polluted waters snaking through the capital that you wouldn’t even think of dipping your toe into，let alone your head.But the famous waterway has more scenic settings along its route before it reaches the Big Smoke.Within easy reach of London，this section is unspoilt and a lot cleaner.
BUDE SEA POOL
This beautiful，part natural，part man-made tidal swimming pool is set in scenic natural surroundings.Constructed in 1930，it has provided safe bathing in Bude for about 90 years.The pool is filled up by the sea at high tide each day.But be careful when entering as it’s part natural，it’s hard to give an exact depth，particularly as the environment changes with the tide.
LAKE MORLICH
This lake is surrounded by impressive views.You might have to stay away from a few windsurfers，but popularity brings great facilities.You can hire wet suits and warmup afterwards at the shoreline café.It also has Scotland’s only award-winning freshwater beach，so you can sunbathe between dips too.
RHOSSILI BAY
Voted the best beach in Wales and third in the UK，this is a must-swim.This impressive stretch of Celtic coastline，shaped like a giant sea snake，offers three miles of breathtaking views.It’s also a wildlife shelter，with a variety of cliff-nesting birds.Tides can be violent though，so if the sea looks rough，don’t swim.
21．Where can you come across animals
A．RHOSSILI BAY.
B．BUDE SEA POOL.
C．LAKE MORLICH.
D．RIVER THAMES.
22．What is special about BUDE SEA POOL
A．It has the longest history.
B．It relies on the sea to be refilled.
C．It is located by the sea.
D．It is the deepest swimming pool.
23．What is the shared feature of these four spots
A．Modern facilities.
B．Convenient locations.
C．Long history.
D．Breathtaking scenery.

It was an innocent little detail，backed by centuries of science，in a chemistry book about tea，something American author Michelle Francl never anticipated would cause a stir among the British.
Researching her new book，Steeped：The Chemistry of Tea，Francl analyzed caffeine levels and studied the molecules(分子) that give tea its aroma(芳香)．She uncovered the little-known presence in tea of other chemicals，including fluoride(氟化物) and aluminum.And she also mentioned a careful study of an 8th century Chinese manuscript that called for salt to be added to the boiling water.
“The sodium ions(钠离子) in the salt block our sense of bitterness，” says Francl，a chemistry professor at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania.“So if you put a tiny bit of salt in—not enough to taste—you make the cup of tea or coffee smoother and less bitter.”
The recipe for a perfect cup of tea，she wrote in her book，includes a little salt.And for tea with milk，Francl recommends warming the milk first，so that it doesn’t curdle(凝结) when it hits the hot water.
Sounds harmless，right But anyone with British friends and loved ones—or who’s spent more than five minutes in the United Kingdom—will know that recipe amounts to blasphemy.Within hours of the publication of Francl’s book，face palm emojis(捂脸表情) were appearing across the British Isles.
“Hot milk and salt！？ Who is this person？” radio host Toni McDonald shouted on his program.
“This scientist supposes that the only way to have a decent cup of tea is with a little salt That’s foolish！” another radio host，VicMinett，said.
To respond to these complaints，the U．S.Embassy’s public affairs officer，Rodney Ford told the press，“We want to assure the good people of the U．K.that the unthinkable idea of adding salt to Britain’s national drink is not official United States policy—and never will be.”
24．Why is the Chinese manuscript mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To tell us where Francl got her idea.
B．To prove tea making enjoys a time-honored history.
C．To introduce the social background of Francl’s book.
D．To explain how tea-making was brought to Britain from China.
25．What can reduce the bitter taste in the tea according to the text
A．Boiling water.
B．Salt.
C．Curdled milk.
D．An unknown chemical.
26．What does the underlined word “blasphemy” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Embarrassment.
B．Unbalance.
C．Disrespect.
D．Desperation.
27．What did Francl’s book cause in Britain
A．Tea craze.
B．Public conflict.
C．Policy change.
D．Heated discussion.

Scientists have found a way to decode(解码) a stream of words in the brain using MRI(磁共振成像) scans and artificial intelligence.The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines，rather than trying to copy each word，the semantics(含义)，a team reports.“It’s getting at the ideas behind the words，the meaning，” says Alexander Huth，an author of the study.
Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain.The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words.But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more freeform thought，” says Marcel Just，a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.
The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language.Researchers had three people spend up to 16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner，which detects signs of activity across the brain.Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet.Those streams of words produced activity all over the brain，not just in areas associated with speech and language.After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner，the MRI data was sent to a computer.It learned to match specific patterns of brain activity with certain streams of words.Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard.
The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system being developed for paralyzed people，where people get a sheet of electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface of the brain.But with an MRI-based system，no one has to get surgery.
This technology can’t really read minds uncontrollably，though.It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists.But future versions could raise moral questions.“What if you can read out the word that somebody is just thinking in their head That’s potentially a harmful thing，” Huth says.Still，systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease.They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts.
28．What is special about the Texas team’s study
A．Brain can be reconstructed.
B．Sensor signals can be improved.
C．Expression can be perfected.
D．Meanings can be comprehended.
29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The process of an experiment.
B．Steps of word matching.
C．The way of speech decoding.
D．Patterns of brain activity.
30．What can be implied about decoding systems from the last paragraph
A．They are a double-edged sword.
B．They are potentially harmful to life.
C．They are well worth researching.
D．They are helpful to treat brain disease.
31．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Decoder That Can Convey Meaning
B．A Decoder That Knows What You Mean
C．MRI Scanner：Still a Long Way to Go
D．MRI Scanner：Bridge Message Gap

While conquering the world’s swimming pools in the late 1990s and the 2000s，Amanda Beard had already included breathing exercises in her training.Several years after the end of her athletic career，she discovered walking meditation.Today the seven-time US Olympic medalist practices walking meditation in nature，around the house，or while walking the dog.It’s a daily practice with the focused mindfulness of meditation that contributes positively to every aspect of her life，she says.
You don’t need equipment or a designated space to start.The idea of a walking meditation is to pay attention to the way your body feels，noticing things like the sky，trees，tuning into all of your senses.This means you can meditate “on the go” in the countryside，in the city，in your backyard，and virtually anywhere.A simple,10-minute walking meditation for beginners requires that you just start at ease.Consider what you hear，smell and see.Think about how your feet touch the ground.Fully focus on these feelings.
A report in Health Promotion Perspectives also found that walking meditation can improve your balance，adjust your heart rate，boost your mental focus，and help you battle anxiety and depression.“The benefits of meditation are many，” says Dr.Schramm，a board-certified family physician and meditation teacher.“When we do this over and over again，we train the brain to focus on only one thing at a time and this increases both our blood flow and actual neuronal(神经元的) changes within our brains.”
“The magic of meditation is to be able to help you connect with yourself; meditation shouldn’t feel a certain way，” says Tara Stiles，a yoga and wellness expert.It’s a common mistake in meditation：People fear a wandering mind.“A wandering mind is completely normal，” Stiles says.“Even experienced meditators aren’t sitting there never having a thought，but when they have the thought they choose to guide themselves back to their breath instead of getting frustrated.”
32．What is walking meditation
A．Plain walking.
B．Mindful walking.
C．A competitive sport.
D．Deep thought while stationary.
33．Which of the following is recommended to a beginner starting walking meditation
A．A familiar environment.
B．A 10-minute walking time.
C．A relaxed but observant state.
D．A piece of special equipment.
34．What is the brain’s reaction to walking meditation according to Dr.Schramm
A．Enhancing the blood flow.
B．Undergoing balance training.
C．Having more active thoughts.
D．Decreasing neuronal changes.
35．What is Tara Stiles’ attitude towards distractions
A．Positive. B．Frustrated.
C．Concerned. D．Carefree.

As we dive into the New Year with fresh resolutions，a big question is：How long are we going to stick with them？ 36 But there is a strategy known as SMART can help both in setting goals and sticking with them.
Specific.In daily life，we’re driven by our habits，which come easily.We can drive，listen to the radio and chew gum at the same time. 37 We need to get rid of distractions and stay focused.Mastering a new skill is slow going，so it’s best to be clear on our aim.
Measurable.When it comes to goals，there’s often a divide between intention and action.One way to bridge this gap is to track what we’ve achieved each day. 38 So，if you’re learning to play the piano，log your practice.If your aim is to eat better，journal your meals.
Achievable. 39 It’s a reality check on how much time and resources you have to devote to it.And，it sometimes begs a bigger question：Why should I commit to this goal
Relevant.Goals and values should be connected.We may spend years living out other people’s dreams for us.If you’re extrinsically(外在地) motivated，you may power through.But you may not be happy with the outcome，even if you’re very successful. 40
Time-bound.It’s important to set goals that have clear time frames.Map out an action plan，and throughout the year you can refer back to the plan.
Set concrete goals and plan a path forward.When you’re filling your days with tasks and activities in line with your goals，it’s time well spent.
A．But working toward a new goal can require a lot of brain power.
B．We know it matters to eat healthier，but it is hard to follow through.
C．Break your goal down into smaller pieces and think whether it’s doable.
D．People who regularly monitor their progress are more likely to succeed.
E．If you pick a goal you really care about，you’ll get it done and feel better.
F．We often start with determination and quickly find our passion decreasing.
G．To keep you on track，write down your goals and share them with your teachers.

Teachers are a gift，especially Troy’s teacher，Donna.She always goes above and beyond for her students，but what she did for Troy’s family is truly beyond selflessness but a miracle(奇迹)．
Donna is one of those teachers who pay close attention to the students in their classroom.She began to notice something odd in one of her elementary students，Troy.He was not active in class like he had been.Troy used to be a passionate student in class，engaging with teachers and his friends.Being a helping hand to the teacher and classmates，Troy was always welcomed by everybody.However，he was all of a sudden so shut down and his behavior was simply not the same.He seemed to be silent all the time，and his eyes lost light of desire for knowledge and passion for any activities.Donna grew very concerned and wondered if there was something going on that affected his performance at school.So，she reached out to Troy’s mom to express her concerns.
And that was when she discovered something wrong.For the past year，his mom had been in stage-five kidney(肾) failure.She was in pain every day and desperately needed a new kidney.But she had a rare blood type，so finding a match for a kidney transplant was virtually impossible.Her condition had been a very long and anxious journey.It had been so painful for the family，and it had definitely made an impact on Troy.And in class，he had been silently carrying the pain his mom was going through at home.
The news broke Donna’s heart.She knew that she just had to do something.She was there as a loving friend to help Troy with his studies，but she was also there for his mom.Donna researched how to become a kidney donor and discovered that she had the same rare blood type as Troy’s mom.She got tested and，surprisingly，she was a match.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

M：Well，I know he sometimes doesn’t listen to the teacher and he doesn’t always do his homework.
W：Well，I don’t think that’s the only problem.He’s a shy boy and he doesn’t talk to others much.And I think he needs glasses.
M：He just had his eyes checked here at school，didn’t he
W：No，he was absent that day.Maybe he was scared.Anyhow，he has to do better work or he’ll have to stay in the fourth grade next year while the others will go to the fifth.
M：That wouldn’t be good.His brothers in the sixth and eighth have never had any trouble.We don’t want Billy to have any either.
W：I certainly understand.Let me show you some of Billy’s work.

M：In today’s interview，I’m talking to Molly，a commercial airline pilot.Molly，did you always want to fly
W：I did，yes.My father worked in air traffic control so planes were always a topic of conversation in our house.At first，I wanted to do his job but then there were a few holidays abroad by air.That’s when I developed an interest in becoming professional pilot.
M：So how did you get started
W：It wasn’t easy.I did well at school and went to university.Actually，a degree isn’t necessary for a pilot，but I wanted to gain a competitive advantage over others.Then I spent a few years working in sales.It was boring but I needed to save enough money to go to training school to get my private pilot’s license.I then needed to do at least 150 hours of flying time.
M：And then six months ago you started to fly professionally
W：Yes.I’m now a first officer.I get to fly the plane for certain sections of journeys，but it is up to the captain to decide who will fly which sections before we take off.
M：Hmm.So where does your career go from here
W：The next step is senior first officer.That will allow me to fly to more airports and under different weather conditions.Eventually，I can apply to become a captain.

Here are some of the best UK swimming spots.
RIVER THAMES
The River Thames might inspire images of muddy，polluted waters snaking through the capital that you wouldn’t even think of dipping your toe into，let alone your head.But the famous waterway has more scenic settings along its route before it reaches the Big Smoke.Within easy reach of London，this section is unspoilt and a lot cleaner.
BUDE SEA POOL
This beautiful，part natural，part man-made tidal swimming pool is set in scenic natural surroundings.Constructed in 1930，it has provided safe bathing in Bude for about 90 years.The pool is filled up by the sea at high tide each day.But be careful when entering as it’s part natural，it’s hard to give an exact depth，particularly as the environment changes with the tide.
LAKE MORLICH
This lake is surrounded by impressive views.You might have to stay away from a few windsurfers，but popularity brings great facilities.You can hire wet suits and warmup afterwards at the shoreline café.It also has Scotland’s only award-winning freshwater beach，so you can sunbathe between dips too.
RHOSSILI BAY
Voted the best beach in Wales and third in the UK，this is a must-swim.This impressive stretch of Celtic coastline，shaped like a giant sea snake，offers three miles of breathtaking views.It’s also a wildlife shelter，with a variety of cliff-nesting birds.Tides can be violent though，so if the sea looks rough，don’t swim.

(2024·河北张家口模拟)
It was an innocent little detail，backed by centuries of science，in a chemistry book about tea，something American author Michelle Francl never anticipated would cause a stir among the British.
Researching her new book，Steeped：The Chemistry of Tea，Francl analyzed caffeine levels and studied the molecules(分子) that give tea its aroma(芳香)．She uncovered the little-known presence in tea of other chemicals，including fluoride(氟化物) and aluminum.And she also mentioned a careful study of an 8th century Chinese manuscript that called for salt to be added to the boiling water.
“The sodium ions(钠离子) in the salt block our sense of bitterness，” says Francl，a chemistry professor at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania.“So if you put a tiny bit of salt in—not enough to taste—you make the cup of tea or coffee smoother and less bitter.”
The recipe for a perfect cup of tea，she wrote in her book，includes a little salt.And for tea with milk，Francl recommends warming the milk first，so that it doesn’t curdle(凝结) when it hits the hot water.
Sounds harmless，right But anyone with British friends and loved ones—or who’s spent more than five minutes in the United Kingdom—will know that recipe amounts to blasphemy.Within hours of the publication of Francl’s book，face palm emojis(捂脸表情) were appearing across the British Isles.
“Hot milk and salt！？ Who is this person？” radio host Toni McDonald shouted on his program.
“This scientist supposes that the only way to have a decent cup of tea is with a little salt That’s foolish！” another radio host，VicMinett，said.
To respond to these complaints，the U．S.Embassy’s public affairs officer，Rodney Ford told the press，“We want to assure the good people of the U．K.that the unthinkable idea of adding salt to Britain’s national drink is not official United States policy—and never will be.”
语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了美国作家Michelle Francl在她的新书《Steeped：The Chemistry of Tea》中提出的泡茶方法引起了英国人的热议。
24．Why is the Chinese manuscript mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To tell us where Francl got her idea.
B．To prove tea making enjoys a time-honored history.
C．To introduce the social background of Francl’s book.
D．To explain how tea-making was brought to Britain from China.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And she also mentioned a careful study of an 8th century Chinese manuscript that called for salt to be added to the boiling water.”可知，Francl在她的书中提到了一个8世纪的中国手稿，该手稿建议在烧开的水中加入盐。故可推知，这是Francl得到她的想法的来源。故选A。
25．What can reduce the bitter taste in the tea according to the text
A．Boiling water.
B．Salt.
C．Curdled milk.
D．An unknown chemical.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段“‘The sodium ions(钠离子) in the salt block our sense of bitterness，’ says Francl，a chemistry professor at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania.‘So if you put a tiny bit of salt in—not enough to taste—you make the cup of tea or coffee smoother and less bitter.’”可知，盐中的钠离子会阻碍我们对苦味的感知，因此盐可以减少茶的苦味。故选B。
26．What does the underlined word “blasphemy” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Embarrassment.
B．Unbalance.
C．Disrespect.
D．Desperation.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据第五段“Sounds harmless，right But anyone with British friends and loved ones—or who’s spent more than five minutes in the United Kingdom”以及“face palm emojis(捂脸表情) were appearing across the British Isles”可以看出英国人对在茶中加牛奶加盐的做法不认可，且反响很大，由此可推断Francl的泡茶方法被认为是对英国的国饮的不尊重，所以这里的“blasphemy”意为“不尊重”。故选C。
27．What did Francl’s book cause in Britain
A．Tea craze.
B．Public conflict.
C．Policy change.
D．Heated discussion.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was an innocent little detail，backed by centuries of science，in a chemistry book about tea，something American author Michelle Francl never anticipated would cause a stir among the British.”以及倒数第二、三四段可知，英国人对Francl的书有很大争议，电台主持人也对此表示了强烈的反对，可知，Francl的书在英国引起了热议。故选D。
C

Scientists have found a way to decode(解码) a stream of words in the brain using MRI(磁共振成像) scans and artificial intelligence.The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines，rather than trying to copy each word，the semantics(含义)，a team reports.“It’s getting at the ideas behind the words，the meaning，” says Alexander Huth，an author of the study.
Previous efforts to decode language have relied on sensors placed directly on the surface of the brain.The sensors detect signals in areas involved in expressing words.But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to “decode more freeform thought，” says Marcel Just，a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.
The new study came about as part of an effort to understand how the brain processes language.Researchers had three people spend up to 16 hours each in a functional MRI scanner，which detects signs of activity across the brain.Participants wore headphones that streamed audio from the Internet.Those streams of words produced activity all over the brain，not just in areas associated with speech and language.After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner，the MRI data was sent to a computer.It learned to match specific patterns of brain activity with certain streams of words.Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard.
The MRI approach is currently slower and less accurate than an experimental communication system being developed for paralyzed people，where people get a sheet of electrical sensors implanted directly on the surface of the brain.But with an MRI-based system，no one has to get surgery.
This technology can’t really read minds uncontrollably，though.It only works when a participant is actively cooperating with scientists.But future versions could raise moral questions.“What if you can read out the word that somebody is just thinking in their head That’s potentially a harmful thing，” Huth says.Still，systems that decode language could someday support people who are unable to speak because of a brain injury or disease.They are also assisting scientists in understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家通过磁共振扫描和人工智能来解码大脑活动。
28．What is special about the Texas team’s study
A．Brain can be reconstructed.
B．Sensor signals can be improved.
C．Expression can be perfected.
D．Meanings can be comprehended.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The system reconstructs the main point of what a person hears or imagines，rather than trying to copy each word，the semantics(含义)，a team reports.”和第二段中“Previous efforts...But the Texas team’s approach is an attempt to ‘decode more freeform thought，’ says Marcel Just”可知，得克萨斯团队的研究的特别之处是他们意在理解主要意义而非重现具体词语。故选D。
29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The process of an experiment.
B．Steps of word matching.
C．The way of speech decoding.
D．Patterns of brain activity.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。根据第三段“...Participants wore headphones that streamed audio...After participants listened to hours of stories in the scanner，the MRI data was sent to a computer...Then came a paraphrased version of what a participant heard.”可知，第三段的主要内容是实验的过程。故选A。
30．What can be implied about decoding systems from the last paragraph
A．They are a double-edged sword.
B．They are potentially harmful to life.
C．They are well worth researching.
D．They are helpful to treat brain disease.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Still，systems that decode language could someday support people...understanding how the brain processes words and thoughts.”可知，语言解码系统有益于人类生活和科研，非常值得研究。故选C。
31．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Decoder That Can Convey Meaning
B．A Decoder That Knows What You Mean
C．MRI Scanner：Still a Long Way to Go
D．MRI Scanner：Bridge Message Gap
答案 B

While conquering the world’s swimming pools in the late 1990s and the 2000s，Amanda Beard had already included breathing exercises in her training.Several years after the end of her athletic career，she discovered walking meditation.Today the seven-time US Olympic medalist practices walking meditation in nature，around the house，or while walking the dog.It’s a daily practice with the focused mindfulness of meditation that contributes positively to every aspect of her life，she says.
You don’t need equipment or a designated space to start.The idea of a walking meditation is to pay attention to the way your body feels，noticing things like the sky，trees，tuning into all of your senses.This means you can meditate “on the go” in the countryside，in the city，in your backyard，and virtually anywhere.A simple,10-minute walking meditation for beginners requires that you just start at ease.Consider what you hear，smell and see.Think about how your feet touch the ground.Fully focus on these feelings.
A report in Health Promotion Perspectives also found that walking meditation can improve your balance，adjust your heart rate，boost your mental focus，and help you battle anxiety and depression.“The benefits of meditation are many，” says Dr.Schramm，a board-certified family physician and meditation teacher.“When we do this over and over again，we train the brain to focus on only one thing at a time and this increases both our blood flow and actual neuronal(神经元的) changes within our brains.”
“The magic of meditation is to be able to help you connect with yourself; meditation shouldn’t feel a certain way，” says Tara Stiles，a yoga and wellness expert.It’s a common mistake in meditation：People fear a wandering mind.“A wandering mind is completely normal，” Stiles says.“Even experienced meditators aren’t sitting there never having a thought，but when they have the thought they choose to guide themselves back to their breath instead of getting frustrated.”
语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章介绍了美国奥运奖牌得主Amanda Beard如何将步行冥想融入日常生活，以及步行冥想的好处和如何进行步行冥想。
32．What is walking meditation
A．Plain walking.
B．Mindful walking.
C．A competitive sport.

答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The idea of a walking meditation is to pay attention to the way...This means you can meditate‘on the go’．..virtually anywhere.”可知，walking meditation就是觉察式的行走。故选B。
33．Which of the following is recommended to a beginner starting walking meditation
A．A familiar environment.
B．A 10-minute walking time.
C．A relaxed but observant state.
D．A piece of special equipment.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A simple,10-minute walking meditation for beginners requires that you just start at ease.Consider what you hear，smell and see.Think about how your feet touch the ground.Fully focus on these feelings.”可知，给初学者的建议是保持放松但善于观察的状态。故选C。
34．What is the brain’s reaction to walking meditation according to Dr.Schramm
A．Enhancing the blood flow.
B．Undergoing balance training.
C．Having more active thoughts.
D．Decreasing neuronal changes.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中Dr.Schramm说的“When we do this over and over again，we train the brain to focus on only one thing at a time and this increases both our blood flow and actual neuronal(神经元的) changes within our brains.”可知，大脑对步行冥想的反应是促进脑内血液流动。故选A。
35．What is Tara Stiles’ attitude towards distractions
A．Positive. B．Frustrated.
C．Concerned. D．Carefree.
答案 D
解析 观点态度题。根据最后一段中“‘A wandering mind is completely normal，’ Stiles says.‘Even experienced meditators ...to guide themselves back to their breath instead of getting frustrated.’”可知，Tara Stiles认为走神是完全正常的，只要及时调整就好，不必为此沮丧，所以是持不在意的态度。故选D。

As we dive into the New Year with fresh resolutions，a big question is：How long are we going to stick with them？ 36 But there is a strategy known as SMART can help both in setting goals and sticking with them.
Specific.In daily life，we’re driven by our habits，which come easily.We can drive，listen to the radio and chew gum at the same time. 37 We need to get rid of distractions and stay focused.Mastering a new skill is slow going，so it’s best to be clear on our aim.
Measurable.When it comes to goals，there’s often a divide between intention and action.One way to bridge this gap is to track what we’ve achieved each day. 38 So，if you’re learning to play the piano，log your practice.If your aim is to eat better，journal your meals.
Achievable. 39 It’s a reality check on how much time and resources you have to devote to it.And，it sometimes begs a bigger question：Why should I commit to this goal
Relevant.Goals and values should be connected.We may spend years living out other people’s dreams for us.If you’re extrinsically(外在地) motivated，you may power through.But you may not be happy with the outcome，even if you’re very successful. 40
Time-bound.It’s important to set goals that have clear time frames.Map out an action plan，and throughout the year you can refer back to the plan.
Set concrete goals and plan a path forward.When you’re filling your days with tasks and activities in line with your goals，it’s time well spent.
A．But working toward a new goal can require a lot of brain power.
B．We know it matters to eat healthier，but it is hard to follow through.
C．Break your goal down into smaller pieces and think whether it’s doable.
D．People who regularly monitor their progress are more likely to succeed.
E．If you pick a goal you really care about，you’ll get it done and feel better.
F．We often start with determination and quickly find our passion decreasing.
G．To keep you on track，write down your goals and share them with your teachers.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是坚持新年决心的SMART策略。
36．答案 F
解析 空前“How long are we going to stick with them？”提出一个问题：我们能坚持新年决心多久，F选项回答了前面的问题，说明我们的热情往往很快会消退，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
37．答案 A
解析 空前“In daily life，we’re driven by our habits...at the same time.”说明我们能轻松地完成一些习惯了的事情，空后“We need to get rid of distractions and stay focused.”说明要完成空格处所说的事情需要摆脱干扰，保持专注，A选项说明要朝一个新的目标努力需要很多脑力，和前文形成对比，和后文内容一致，因此A选项承上启下，符合语境，故选A。
38．答案 D
解析 空前“One way to bridge this gap is to track what we’ve achieved each day.”说明了要记录每天的成就，也就是记录自己的进步过程，空格处应该说这么做的好处，D选项说明记录自己的进步过程能让人更可能成功，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。
39．答案 C
解析 本段主要介绍的策略是“Achievable.”，空后提到“这是对你需要投入多少时间和资源的现实检验”，由此可知，空格处与“让目标变得可实现”有关，C选项说的是把目标变成小目标，看它是否能够实现，和本段主题一致，且引出后文内容，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
40．答案 E
解析 空前“Goals and values should be connected...you may not be happy with the outcome，even if you’re very successful.”说明目标要和自己的价值相关，不然就算实现了，自己也不高兴，E选项说明了如果选择一个自己真正关心的目标，自己就会感觉更好，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。

My Last Weekend’s Social Practice Experience
Last weekend，I took part in a social practice activity organized by a local charity organization.We visited the elderly living alone in the community and spent time chatting with them，helping them with daily chores，and organizing small cultural activities to bring them joy.
My experience during this activity was both eye-opening and heart-warming.I had the chance to interact with the elderly，listen to their life stories，and understand the challenges they face.
Overall，participating in this social practice activity last weekend left a lasting impact on me.I believe that such experiences not only benefit those we help but also enrich our own lives in meaningful ways.

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。
Teachers are a gift，especially Troy’s teacher，Donna.She always goes above and beyond for her students，but what she did for Troy’s family is truly beyond selflessness but a miracle(奇迹)．
Donna is one of those teachers who pay close attention to the students in their classroom.She began to notice something odd in one of her elementary students，Troy.He was not active in class like he had been.Troy used to be a passionate student in class，engaging with teachers and his friends.Being a helping hand to the teacher and classmates，Troy was always welcomed by everybody.However，he was all of a sudden so shut down and his behavior was simply not the same.He seemed to be silent all the time，and his eyes lost light of desire for knowledge and passion for any activities.Donna grew very concerned and wondered if there was something going on that affected his performance at school.So，she reached out to Troy’s mom to express her concerns.
And that was when she discovered something wrong.For the past year，his mom had been in stage-five kidney(肾) failure.She was in pain every day and desperately needed a new kidney.But she had a rare blood type，so finding a match for a kidney transplant was virtually impossible.Her condition had been a very long and anxious journey.It had been so painful for the family，and it had definitely made an impact on Troy.And in class，he had been silently carrying the pain his mom was going through at home.
The news broke Donna’s heart.She knew that she just had to do something.She was there as a loving friend to help Troy with his studies，but she was also there for his mom.Donna researched how to become a kidney donor and discovered that she had the same rare blood type as Troy’s mom.She got tested and，surprisingly，she was a match.

When Donna told the news to Troy’s family，everyone was surprised.They could hardly believe that their beloved teacher was willing to go through such a personal sacrifice for them.This being a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the mother，all the family couldn’t thank Donna enough for her kindness and compassion.Troy’s mother was deeply moved by Donna’s selflessness and generosity，and at the same time，the prospect of healing brought renewed hope and joy into their lives，especially for Troy，who felt a glimmer of happiness return.
Soon the kidney transplant took place.The operation was a success，and Troy’s mom began to recover with the new kidney functioning well.As she started to get healthier and more energetic，the family’s burden was eased.Seeing his mother regain her strength，Troy felt spirits improved significantly.He became active in class once again，engaging eagerly with his peers and teachers.The change was evident in his bright eyes and enthusiastic participation.Donna’s loving support not only impacted Troy’s academic performance but also helped save his mother’s life，forever changing the course of their family’s journey.
