A
The UR(University of Rochester)Libraries'event,“Find it For Free”,held on January 21,provided students with information on finding low-to-no-cost course materials.Librarian Eloise Stevens highlighted the financial burden textbooks place on students and the need for resources they might need.The event introduced three main options for accessing affordable course materials:
Course Reserves: Materials placed on course reserve can be checked out for a short period,typically two hours.This system allows students in specific classes to borrow materials,but if materials aren't registered,students may experience difficulties accessing them.Professors must refer(提交)physical materials to the library first.
UR and Public Libraries: Students can search for additional materials in the DiscoverUR catalog.While some e-books in the UR Library have unlimited access, others have usage restrictions.Students can also use digital library cards for the New York Public Library and Monroe County Library,which offer e-books and audiobooks through Libby,providing another valuable resource for course materials.
Open Web Sources: Several open web platforms offer access to course materials, including the Internet Archive,Project Gutenberg,and Hathi Trust Digital Library.These resources are particularly useful for materials published before 1929,which will no longer be protected by copyright( 版权 )in 2025,and for some more recent academic works.
Students can find a guide to these options on the library's website and reach out to subject librarians for further assistance.
Why was the event “Find it For Free”started
To help students save money.
To teach academic research skills.
To advertise public library services.
To encourage students to donate books.
What must happen before students can access Course Reserves materials
Students must present a valid student ID.
Students must apply at least 2 hours ahead. C.Professors must initiate the process of registration. D.The materials must be made available electronically.
What makes Open Web Sources unique
They lend mainly physical materials.
They are based at university libraries.
They offer copyright-free older works.
They are specially designed for college students.
B
Muhammed vividly remembers the day his uncle gifted him his first storybook.At the age of 10,this was the beginning of his love for literature and poetry.Growing up, he would arrange book club gatherings with friends.In his teens,he would organize book fairs.After university,he worked in journalism.In his 20s,he had already envisioned his dream retirement plan:open a bookshop.
When earthquakes struck his hometown of Adiyaman,Türkiye,in 2023 and left a trail of destruction,little did he know that his retirement plan would be carried out decades early.“I lost many
relatives and saw many horrible things,”Muhammed recalled.“We all had to come together as neighbours,as a community.”
As part of recovery plans,authorities constructed a “social market”in the town centre
-where various shops would fit residents'needs and revive economic activity.Included in the plan was a bookshop.Muhammed,already known in his community as a bibliophile, was selected to lead this effort and provided by the Turkish Red Crescent with a first set of books."I started from zero.Everything was destroyed after the earthquakes."
Despite the uphill battle,Muhammed was driven by his belief that books could aid in his community's collective healing.Starting with old iron shelves,Muhammed wanted to transform his bookshop into a more charming and comfortable environment.Through the International Organization for Migration's(IOM)cash grant programme,Muhammed was able to purchase new bookshelves.
Almost a year since he opened the bookshop,Muhammed is happy with where life has taken him."I love this business.I'’m happy being around books.I meet people of all walks of life and have a unique relationship with each of my customers.”
Muhammed is also involved in efforts to re-establish public libraries,named in memory of literature teachers who lost their lives during the earthquakes.Through this, he hopes to make books more accessible.Each day,Muhammed hopes that his customers are captured into a new world of healing and hope amidst the tragedy.
Why did Muhammed open his bookshop earlier than planned
A.He lost his job after the earthquakes. B.His neighbours offered him free books.
C.The earthquakes generated a need for recovery.
D.Local charities asked him to organize a market.
What does the underlined word “bibliophile”in paragraph 3 mean
A.Story teller. B.Book lover. C.Aid provider. D.Group leader.
What would Muhammed's customers probably think of him
A.Profit-motivated. B.Community-minded. C.Peace-loving. D.Fame-seeking.
What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Healing Page by Page B.Retiring Early,Living Freely Finally C.Rescuing Hand in Hand D.Forgetting Sadness,Gaining Support
C
Alan Turing and Gordon Moore could never have predicted the rise of social media, memes,or cyberattacks.Decades after their invention,the architects of the atomic bomb could no more stop a nuclear war than Henry Ford could stop a car accident. Technology's unavoidable challenge is that its makers quickly lose control over the path their inventions take once introduced to the world.
Technology exists in a complex,dynamic system,where second-,third-,and nth- order consequences spread unpredictably.Understanding technology is,in part,about trying to understand its unintended consequences,to predict not just positive impacts but " revenge effects. "Quite simply,any technology is capable of going wrong.Think of how the overuse of antibiotics( 抗生素) makes them less effective, or how the “ space junk”endangers spaceflight.
As the power of our tools grows exponentially and as access to them rapidly increases,so do the potential harms that no one can fully predict.One day someone is writing equations( 方程式) on a blackboard or working on a prototype( 机 器 雏 形 ) in the garage;within decades,it has produced existential questions for humanity.This aspect of technology has felt more and more pressing to me.How do we guarantee that this new wave of technologies does more good than harm
Technology's problem here is a containment problem.Containment is the critical ability to control,limit,and,if need be,close down technologies at any stage of their development.It means,in some circumstances,the ability to stop a technology from mushrooming in the first place,checking the ripple of unintended consequences,both good and bad.
Then,if containment is important,who should bear the duty to do it It is we technologists.More than anyone else,it is up to us to face it.We might not be able to control the final end points of our work or its long-term effects,but that is no reason to give up responsibility.Decisions technologists make at the source can still shape outcomes.Just because consequences are difficult to predict doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Why does the author mention inventors and inventions in paragraph 1
To show that creations often lack control once released.
To highlight the fast development of technology.
To compare inventors'different career paths.
To emphasize inventors'irreplaceable role.
Which might be an example of the “revenge effect”in paragraph 2
A.Solar panels cut costs. B.AI blocks harmful questions. C.App loses popularity after update. D.Self-driving cars crash due to errors.
What is the main idea of paragraph 4
Technology is a problem. B.Technology is a mixed blessing.
C.Technology leads to bad consequences. D.Technology needs controlled management.
Which best describes the nature of the last paragraph
A.A call to act. B.A conclusion of a scientific study. C.An official warning. D.A challenge of a traditional view.
D
In the fiction and creative nonfiction classes that I teach at my university,I routinely stress the importance of every story having a plot and a purpose.The students who take this advice to heart typically produce some fine pieces and exit the class with a good grade.And,according to a study recently published in The Journal of Positive Psychology(心理学),they might just also go on to live more meaningful and productive lives than their less successful storytelling peers.
Researchers at Reichman University in Israel conducted a series of studies exploring how skill at storytelling,or the lack of such skill,impacts the sense-making function of narrative thinking.They assessed participants’storytelling abilities and then cross- referenced the results with a self-report scale(量表).
In the first study,participants completed self-report scales assessing their sense of “meaning
in life”and “approval of high-level goals”.The self-reports were used in the other two studies as well.In the second study,each participant was asked to propose “a
friend who knew them very well”,and this person provided a global rating of the participant's storytelling ability.In the third study,participants were divided into groups of three.They were then instructed to create two separate stories -one a two-minute story about an event that exhibited a personality trait that characterized them,and the other an original two-minute story using three random words -and tell these stories to the other two people in their group.The pairs of listeners then gave their ratings.
Across all three studies,participants who were rated as proficient storytellers exhibited a stronger sense of meaning in life and approval of high-level goals.The results of the study also suggest a beneficial and possibly even healing role for storytelling workshops.
While the concepts of “meaning in life”and“high-goal approval”are difficult to teach due to their abstract nature,storytelling can be taught.A little training in various strategies can turn a student with a notebook full of colorful but undeveloped ideas into a proficient(even if not necessarily published)storyteller.Having a plot and a purpose in your stories can translate into deeper meaning and higher goal-setting in your life.
According to the findings,better storytelling students will
A.have a more productive career B.have a stronger sense of life purpose C.achieve high grades in all subjects D.develop better critical thinking skills
What is special about the third study
A.Participants finish a self-report assessment scale. B.Participants take standardized writing-grading tests. C.Participants invite someone to give an overall assessment. D.Participants create and share stories with group members.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph A.Workshops promote mental well-being. B.Teaching abstract concepts is worthwhile. C.Storytelling contributes to personal growth. D.Everybody can become a published storyteller.
Where is the text most probably taken from
A.A course plan. B.A literature writing handbook.
C.A psychology textbook. D.A magazine's education section.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether you're a social butterfly or a natural loner,science has discovered that chosen periods of solitude (独处)can boost our happiness by reducing stress and increasing feelings of personal freedom. 36 Here are four skills to master to enable you to be brilliant at being alone.
Communicate to avoid hurting others.
Saying you want to be alone can come with the risk of making loved ones feel rejected.But,without alone time,our social batteries can run low because we aren't giving ourselves the chance to properly manage our thoughts and feelings. 37 Communicate openly about the importance of self-care and alone time.Encouraging others to also take moments for themselves can help normalise the practice and reduce feelings of rejection.
Embrace “positive selfishness”.
Once loved ones understand the benefits of alone time,you're ready to embrace a positive kind of“selfishness”.It could involve lunch at your favourite café without inviting a friend or watching an eagerly anticipated film at the cinema without taking your partner. 38
Make time alone meaningful.
It can be easy to worry about wasting our precious alone time.If scrolling on your phone or watching TV is too tempting when you're alone,you shouldn't feel guilty.
39 That includes rest.For many,TV and phones are a great way to take a rest from the pressures.If we don't occasionally allow our minds to wander,then we can't maximise our capacity to think.
Plan solo (独自的)dates.
40 Forward-plan “solo dates”,for both practicality and joyful anticipation.
Adding solo activities to your diary gives solitude equal importance to social occasions, and ensures you commit to and prioritise alone time regularly.
A.Time alone is meaningful if it fulfils its purpose.
Me time doesn't just appear,you need to create it.
So,can we learn to spend time alone for wellbeing
This can lead to stress in our interactions with others.
Is there anything else we can do to avoid being judged
Whatever it may be,give yourself permission to please yourself.
Solitude can be joyful,but stay attentive to the potential downsides.

Most underground car parks have four or five levels,while 56 one beneath Sydney Opera House has 12,reaching 37 metres deep.Within this structure,there is space for 1,100 cars 57 (park),serving visitors of both the Opera House itself and the 58 (surround)botanic gardens.It's the world’s deepest car park and the widest shallow-cover rock cavern (洞穴).With only a 7-metre-thick soil and rock layer above and a width of up to 19 metres,advanced 59 (engineer)was needed to keep the structure stable due to its shallow cover.
The original car park design 60 (plan)to be rectangular in shape and consisted of two substructures to cover the parking demands of the Opera House.However,this meant,somewhat surprisingly,that valuable space would be taken up to build the two fire escapes 61 (need)to meet
safe exit requirements in an emergency.This plan significantly changed when a circular double-helix(双
螺旋)design was proposed.Not only was this a unique shape for a car park at the time in the early 1990s, 62 the circular shape evenly distributed weight,making it stronger.This meant it could be built even 63 (deep)and would only need one fire escape 64 could be accessed
centrally on all levels.The double-helix shape reduced the planned footprint from 7,900 square metres 65 just 2,950 square metres.In 2043,this record-breaking construction will be reviewed again to see if any changes to its design need to be made.

It was early autumn when the school organized a weekend camping trip to a nearby mountain forest.The air was crisp,the leaves were turning golden,and the students were buzzing with excitement.After weeks of studying and exams,everyone welcomed the chance to enjoy nature and relax outdoors.
Among the students were four close friends:Leo,Eric,Jason,and Alice.Though their personalities were quite different,they made a great team.Alice,the only girl in the group,was smart and well- prepared.She had brought along a compass,a map,and even a first-aid kit.
After arriving at the campsite,the students pitched their tents,gathered firewood,and helped prepare a simple meal.The campsite was surrounded by tall pine trees,and in the distance,a mountain stream could be heard.The teachers reminded everyone to stay within the marked area and never go off-trail alone.
After lunch,the students were allowed to explore in small groups.Leo's group decided to follow a trail leading up a hill.According to Alice,there was a small lookout point that offered a beautiful view of the valley.
As they walked,Jason kept running ahead,calling the others to hurry."Let's see what's up there!"he shouted.Alice followed closely behind,holding the map.Leo walked at a steady pace,checking that no one fell behind.Eric lagged at the end,clearly nervous about being so deep in the forest.
The path became narrower as they climbed.Birds chirped in the trees,and dry leaves crunched under their shoes.The sunlight filtered through the branches above,casting dancing shadows on the ground.After about an hour,they reached the edge of a rocky area covered in leaves.The trail began to twist more than expected,and many landmarks they passed didn’'t match what was on the map.
“I think the viewpoint is just beyond this slope (斜坡),”Jason said,pointing excitedly. Leo looked uncertain."Let’s be careful.It looks slippery."
But before anyone could stop him,Jason had already climbed ahead.
注意：
所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as he reached the top of the slope,his foot slipped.
With the first aid finished,they realized a new challenge:how to get back.

I’m Li Hua, and my passion for painting began in childhood. At six, I was captivated by vibrant colors and shapes in picture books, inspiring me to pick up a brush. My parents enrolled me in art classes, where I explored techniques and found joy in creating. Over time, painting became my way to express emotions and ideas.
Painting positively impacts my studies and life. It sharpens my focus, helping me tackle academic challenges with patience. During stressful times, sketching calms my mind, boosting my mood and creativity. Sharing my artwork with friends strengthens our bonds. Painting not only enriches my life but also teaches me to find beauty in everyday moments, making me a happier, more balanced person.

Just as he reached the top of the slope, his foot slipped. He lost balance and tumbled down with a cry. The others rushed forward and found him lying on the ground, holding his ankle. Leo quickly knelt beside him and checked the injury. It was already starting to swell. Alice pulled out her first aid kit and wrapped the ankle firmly with a bandage. "Your ankle’s sprained. It doesn’t seem broken, but you really shouldn’t walk on it," she said gently. Eric was watching all of this nervously. "Don't worry," Leo said, offering a reassuring smile. "Everything will be fine!"
With the first aid finished, they realized a new challenge: how to get back. They had to find the way back. The trees all looked the same, and the map no longer matched the surroundings. Alice studied the compass and listened carefully. “I can hear a stream,” she said. “If we follow it downhill, we might rejoin the main trail.” With Leo supporting Jason and Eric carrying the bag, they moved slowly. After about half an hour, the trees opened up—they saw tents in the distance. Back at camp, the teachers, who had been concerned about their safety, praised their calmness and teamwork. The event taught them that true adventure lies not only in the journey but in how they face the unexpected - together.
