Twelve month ago, my husband John and I took on a renovation(翻新) project in a new country. In the first ten days, it was like an exciting adventure.

Weeks turned into months, and the pace began to slow down. After six months, instead of seeing the beautiful sea view before me, I only saw bare dirt patches, unpainted pillars, and unfinished rooms. Guests were due to arrive, and the place looked like a messy building site.

That's when I decided to revisit photographs from just a few months earlier. I was 24 by the transformation we had achieved.

Those before-and-after images served as a powerful 25 : even though our project was far from completion, we had actually done so much we could be 26 of.
That evening, as the sun set, painting the sky orange, we sat on our balcony and drank tea, quietly 27 what we had accomplished.

We' ve all struggled with poorly-timed distractions. You' re sting at a desk, studying intently, and then: wham!Unrelated thoughts—— breakfast this morning, the funny movie you saw last week, or that upcoming presentation you' re nervous about—— invade your mind. Or maybe you' re totally immersed in your work, but your roommates barge into your study space at an inconvenient moment. These international and external distractions cause us to lose focus. The techniques outlined below will help you maximize your focused study time.
●——————
Unless your friends happen to be good study partners, study alone. If you' re studying at home, choose a quiet room with limited clutter(杂物). Post a sign on your door telling roommates or family members to stay away. If your home environment is distracting, gather your study supplies and head over to a comfortable study spot.
If distracting background noises bother you, pick up some noise-canceling headphones and turn on a study playlist(preferably instrumental) or white noise. Create the best possible environment for studying before you open your books so that you don't have to pause mid-session to make a change.
If you' re studying attentively, you' re going to get thirsty. Grab a beverage before you open the book. You may even need a power snack while you' re working, so grab some brain food, too. Use the bathroom, put on comfortable clothes(but not too cozy), and set the air/ heat to the temperature that best suits you. If you anticipate(预料) your ph ys ical needs before you start studying, you' ll be less likely to get out of your seat and lose the focus you have worked so hard to gain.
●———
Schedule your most challenging study sessions during the best energy periods of the day, when you anticipate feeling most energized and focused. If you' re a morning person, that means you should be studying as early as possible. If you' re a night owl, choose an evening period. If you aren't sure what time works best for you, think about your most successful studying experiences. What time of day did they take place When does your brain feel most effective in general Pencil in study sessions during these periods, and stick with them.
39. The purpose of creating the best environment for studying is .
A. to find a good study partner B. to avoid possible white noise
C. to ensure a full-session study D. to make yourself comfortable
40. What should you do if you' re uncertain about your best energy periods
A. Predict the most energized and focused time.
B. Stick with a schedule regardless of energy levels.
C. Reflect on previous rewarding learning experiences.
D. Choose morning study sessions instead of evening ones.
41. Which subheadings can best fit the three parts respectively
①Find a Study Partner for Greater Progress ②Choose Your Study Environment Wisely
③Get Ready for Your Physical Needs ④Respond to Your Internal Worries
⑤Study During Your Peak Brain Times ⑥Conduct Reflections Periodically
A.①③⑤ B.①④⑥ C.②④⑥ D.②③⑤

Satellite images and the latest scientific studies may accurately inform us how quickly the world's glaciers are melting. But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’ s mission is different: to uncover the“souls” of disappearing glaciers —— as he believes satellite images can't replicate(复制) the beauty of glaciers.
Many glaciers can't be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore,Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane,I can‘stand’ in a place where a human can't stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.”
Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly, against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds —— as well as a lack of oxygen—— to climb as high as 14, 000ft in the Bernese Alps.“It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I' ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent(猛烈的) if you' re on the proper side of the mountain. So it's a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot,everything's fine.”
In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn't ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it's absolutely worth it.”
Fisher’ s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I'm looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’ m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says.

It all started on the day I was binge —— watching a talkshow in which the host uttered these wise words:“School in Shakespeare's day and age was vastly different from our own . In fact, it was far easier because students didn't have to study Shakespeare.” I laughed when I heard this statement and then realized how rightful the claim is. I mean,most of us were not enthusiastic when we saw the name Shakespeare in a lesson or an assignment title, even for someone who enjoys reading, analyzing pieces of literature, and writing.
It's pretty obvious that the manner in which the current school system handles an affects most students'understanding of it. When we are given a certain assignment based on, let's say, a play, many of us subconsciously connect our experience and opinion of that play based on how good or bad the process of completing that assignment
was, especially if that was the first time we ever watched or read it. We stop appreciating the work in front of us and start choosing to notice only the elements necessary to help us complete that assignment. The beauty, joy, or even awe of reading and watching that play no longer exists.
Art is subjective. Each individual has a unique understanding of it. The features that make an artwork excellent are how well the piece succeeds in attracting us with its idea how it affects us emotionally, and what we experience during our interaction with it. To have that free interaction removed will not only hurt the piece but also how students will engage with similar works in the future.
One of the fundamental solutions is to embrace the individuality that art brings —— the liberty for a person to understand and interact with a piece through the lens of experiences lived, ideas absorbed, and emotions felt. Just like anyone, students are human beings.
By nature, classes and courses must have structure. Hence, it would be complicated if we leave total freedom to students. Therefore, we could have a theme, topic, or style for each lesson rather than assigning the same text to all of the students. Based on the theme or topic of the lesson, the students would freely choose a piece of their liking to engage with. Doing so is not just another assignment but an extension of their interaction with an artwork.
Art is a reflection of the human experience. To quote from John Keating, played by the great Robin Williams:“We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.”That is true for all forms of art. By changing the way that art is taught in schools, we can help students to see art as a valuable and enjoyable part of their lives, Ultimately, the goal of art education should be to help students develop a lifelong appreciation for art.
46. The author thinks when learning Shakespeare's works in class, students will probably .
A. experience joy in analyzing them B. find his works different yet easier
C. realize it is quite right to study them D. wish they were in Shakespeare's age
47. What leads to the problem with art appreciation
A. Students' lack of creativity. B. Individuals' varied opinions.
C. The assignment-driven approach. D. The complexity of literary works.
48. According to the author, a good art class should be the one where .
A. teachers choose a piece of their liking
B. students freely pick out a theme they enjoy
C. teachers encourage deep analysis of the same text
D. students establish personal connection with artworks
49. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Why Students Hate Art Class B. The Lost Joy of Art Appreciation
C. How to Connect Literature with Reality D. The Crisis of the Current School System
第四部分:书面表达(共两节,27分)
第一节(共4小题; 第50——51小题各2分, 第52小题3分, 第53小题, 5分, 共12分)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答向题。
As we move further into the digital age, the human attention span is decreasing rapidly. Now the average attention span lasts just eight seconds. We' re struggling to focus on single tasks for long periods of time. We have a tendency to get distra… oh, look at that dog! We need an approach that makes information easier to consume and
absorb. Enter microleaming.
As the name implies, microlearning is a way of gaining knowledge that breaks information into bite-sized pieces, typically five to ten minutes long. Actually, microlearning has been around for as long as human beings have been learning. However, the use of the term“microlearning” and is rise in popularity is a relatively new thing with the increased spread of the Internet and the popularization of e-learning. Microleaming is perfect for today’ s learners because they' re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. This means they can learn on their commute, lunch break and more.
The neuroscience behind microlearning partly explains why it works so well. It uses the cognitive skills learning system in our brain, the main system for learning skills and helping with short-term memory. The use of spaced repetition also plays a part. Research suggests we learn better when content is spaced out, rather than delivered in one go. It helps to fight against the Forgetting Curve, which suggests we forget 90% of the information we learn within a week. After all, each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we' ve already established. Think of those flashcards you made for an exam. You created small pieces of content and looked at them over and over again until they were ingrained in your memory!
With its bite-sized knowledge, microlearning allows you to learn at your own pace, offering more flexibility.Content can be tailored to meet your specific needs, preferences, and learning styles, thus allowing for personalized learning experiences. Also, it reduces stress, and increases productivity. When you have a lot of things to do, you may feel stressed. In turn, your brain releases a hormone called cortisol, which can negatively impact your memory.By breaking content down into short and easy units, it makes learning feel less challenging. Nice!
Microlearning may be small but it sure is mighty. It's easy to find, quick to complete and super effective.What's not to love
50. Why is microlearning a perfect choice for today’ s learners
51. How does spaced repetition help fight against the Forgetting Curve
52 Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by helping our brain release cortisol.
53. How can you apply microlearning in your daily study (In about 40 words)
