B
I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for her around time management. That question surprised me. I've never thought of myself as someone with great time management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity.
It wasn't until we parted that it hit me. I don't focus on time management, but on energy management. Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what's next. Or, you could spend three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day.
I'm a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list, But maturity has taught me that satisfaction comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done
Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke about the energy of frustration, but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping lite force energy that might go to more useful, productive, creative pursuits.
In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it's about time we should change our focus. We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day,and learn how to create, use, and save it. It's not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices.
24. Why is the author's friend mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic. B. To clarify a definition.
C. To present a common phenomenon. D. To share a personal experience.
25. What is the author's core argument about productivity
A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction.
B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements.
C. Energy management matters more than time management.
D.Strict time management systems are essential for success.
26. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic
A. It wastes time that could be used for work.
B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations.
C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone.
D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life.
27. What might be talked about following the last paragraph
A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work.
B. The relationship between energy and creativity.
C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management.
D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices.

Sea turtles can survive being struck by a boat but as they recover, their shells often change shape, bulging(鼓起) from air building up within their bodies, which makes the animals unstable when they swim, resulting in “bubble butt syndrome(泡洣屁股综合征)” which prevents turtles swimming or diving normally. Typically, turtles with this condition cannot be released back into the ocean.
But a “bubble butt" male turtle named Charlotte is now swimming more smoothly at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut,thanks to a harness(挽具) built by a 3D printer. It took several years of work, but in a recent fitting, the harness was moved quickly into place, “The staff was super pumped," says Alex Pestana,a sales engineer at 3D printing company Formlabs, “We help Charlotte out!" Charlotte passed from the Georgia Sea Turtle Center to the Mystic Aquarium.
A male green sea turtle was given the name Bubble Butt at The Turtle Hospital in the Florida Keys shortly after he arrived there in 1989. To help him, they attached 2. 5 pounds of lead to his shell. This helped, but it isn't a permanent solution as the weights move as the animals grow. Bubble Butt died in 2022. But by then, efforts were under way to use 3Dprinting to help turtles like him. With harnesses like Charlotte's, weights can be added gradually to assist the animals to adjust.
The Turtle Hospital currently has around 15 turtles with bubble butt syndrome,according to Bette Zirkelbach, the hospital's manager, “People who drive boats should obey speed restrictions, many of which apply in shallower areas," Zirkelbach says. “In shallow water, animals like sea turtles and dolphins have nowhere to escape from boats they can't dive down.”
What is the main purpose of the 3D-printed harness for sea turtles like Charlotte
A. To repair their damaged shells. B. To assit them in swimming.
C. To help them reduce their weight. D. To prevent air entering their bodies.
29. What does the underlined word “pumped” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Curious. B. Relaxed. C. Grateful. D. Excited.
30. What should we do according to Bette Zirkelbach
A. Avoid boat speeding. B. Build advanced boats.
C. Protect bubble butt turtles. D. Change turtles' living places.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Aguarium Protects Sea Turtles’ Health.
B. 3D Printing Enhances Sea Turtles’ Recovery.
C. Sea Turtles Beat Bubble Butt with 3D Printing.
D. Bubble Butt Affects Sea Turtles' Swimming.

You lean back from the dinner table, feeling like you physically couldn't fit another bite.But then someone offers pie and you just can't say no. Scientists have now identified the neurons(神经元) behind the“dessert stomach” phenomenon.
In their study, scientists at the ax Planck Institute for Metabolism Research found that mice kept eating sugar even when they should have felt full. Investigations of their brains showed that a group of nerve cells, known as the pro-opiomelanocortin(POMC) neurons,became active. These neurons release a chemical called B-endorphin, which acts like a natural reward and makes the mice feel good. As a result, they keep eating sugar despite feeling full. Interestingly, this effect only happens with sugar, not with other types of food like normal meals or fatty snacks.
In a follow-up experiment with humans, researchers gave volunteers a sugar drink and found that the same thing happens in the brain as with mice. This suggests that the “dessert stomach” is a real thing for both mice and humans.
Why does this happen According to Henning Fenselau, a scientist who led the study, this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Sugar is rare in nature but provides quick energy. Our brains are programmed to make us want to eat sugar whenever we find it. This might have been helpful in the past because of food shortage, but today it can lead to overeating and health problems.The findings could shed light on treating obesity by providing a thorough understanding of the urge for sugar, and could even lead to potential medical solutions. Developing drugs to block the brain's reward system for sugar might help people control their cravings(海望). Yet, it is too soon to say that the full picture has been drawn. Other studies have found that signals from your digestive system could influence why there always seems to be room for a dessert.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A. By describing an eating behaviour. B. By introducing a scientific study.
C. By defining a certain term. D. By comparing different eating habits.
33. What is the main function of POMC neurons in the mice's brains
A. Telling the bodies the mice have eaten enough.
B. Managing the desire for fatty and salty foods.
C. Creating a reward system to encourage dieting.
D. Producing a chemical linked to positive emotions.
34. Why does the author mention that “sugar is rare in nature” in paragraph 4
A. To blame modern food production for health issues.
B. To explain the evolutionary basis of sugar cravings.
C.To compare natural sugar with artificial sugar.
D.To warn people about eating too much sugar.
35.What is suggested in the last paragraph
A. Sugar-blocking drugs should be sold on stores right now.
B. Brain activities alone could determine dessert cravings.
C. More research is needed before the application of the study.
D. Cravings for sugar only occurred in modern times.

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。
Each day, we face uncertainty around our health, what others think of us, or what soup will be served at lunch. 36 Since the early 1990s, psychologists have regarded intolerance for uncertainty (IU) as a character associated with different forms of anxiety and depression. IU doesn't directly cause all of those conditions, but having a higher intolerance for uncertainty is a common experience that cuts across them.
37 It makes them stressed, irritable or anxious and they are motivated to avoid it at all costs, or control their environments to reduce uncertainty as much as possible. This can manifest in overplanning, repeated reassurance or information-seeking and avoiding anything new or unfamiliar. Some with high IU might make lists repeatedly or plan out conversations in their head. People with high IU can also react to events more impulsively in order to resolve uncertainty as quickly as possible.38______
For milder discomfort with uncertainty that doesn't cause significant distress or disruption to life, people can build their own tolerance to uncertainty a little bit each day. 39 Then, after experimenting with small exposures to uncertainty, challenge yourself to do other new things-nothing big or scary, just things that are different and will initially feel uncomfortable. 40 They can even accept and perhaps embrace uncertainty in day-to-day life.
Life will always be full of unknowns. When facing the uncertain, people might feel discomfort, but there's also a chance to try to feel curious and open.
A. Analyze your need for certainty.
B. Over time, people can learn to tolerate uncertainty.
C. For them, uncertainty is not just unpleasant - it's intolerable.
D. High IU can also affect people's physical health.
E. People with high IU are bothered by even a minor case of uncertainty.
F. Seek out opportunities to safely play around the edges of your routines.
G. Yet some people react more strongly to these unknowns than others.

I 52 revising the outline of my paper, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs, guided by 53 from others.

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。
Li Ming was a 17-year-old exchange student from China. With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure.
In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn't understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk.
Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself.
Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines.
One day, the school announced a talent show, Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed.
