Last weekend, my friend Tom and I visited a popular restaurant featuring shared dining tables — trendy spots where strangers share a large table. The place was crowded, so we had no choice but to sit between an elderly couple and two lively college students. As we settled in, we exchanged awkward glances, both wondering if we should start a conversation or just focus on our menus.
I decided to break the ice by turning to the students, “Have you tried anything here worth recommending ” They immediately lit up, passionately suggesting the garlic butter pasta and warning us against the overly salty soup. We chatted happily about our weekend plans and favorite local snacks. The elderly couple, meanwhile, just smiled and nodded occasionally, so we kept our distance, only offering a polite “Excuse me” when passing dishes. Tom once reached for their bread basket, but I stopped him quickly — sharing food without permission is a clear etiquette (礼节) mistake.
We kept our voices moderate to avoid disturbing others and stowed our phones in our bags, following the unspoken rules of the place. When the server came with the bill, we clearly pointed out which dishes were ours to prevent confusion. By the time we finished eating, we’d exchanged social media accounts with the students and waved warmly to the elderly couple as we left.
That night gave me a valuable lesson about public dining: the key is balancing openness with respect. A simple greeting, proper conversation starters, and the ability to read other cues make all the difference. It is never about forced interaction, but about creating a pleasant shared space — whether you end up with new friends or just a peaceful, enjoyable meal.
4. Why did the author and Tom sit with strangers at the restaurant
A. They wanted to make new friends. B. The restaurant was empty.
C Shared tables were their first choice. D. The other seats had bad views.
5. What can we infer about the elderly couple
A. They loved chatting with young people. B. They preferred a quiet dining experience.
C. They were angry at Tom’s rude behavior. D. They recommended the garlic butter pasta.
6. What does the underlined phrase “stowed our phones” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Put our phones away properly. B. Took out our phones casually.
C. Used our phones secretly. D. Broke our phones accidentally.
7. What is the main idea of the passage
A. How to choose a popular shared restaurant.
B. A pleasant weekend trip with a good friend.
C. A personal experience of shared dining tables.
D. Different opinions on shared dining among people.
C
In 1975, psychologist Sigmund Freud became interested in how artists lost themselves in their work. Sigmund Freud called the absorbed attention he observed a “flow state”.
Over the years, scientists have come up with different theories about what happens in the brain during flow states. Some believe that flow states happen during periods of intense focus, when the brain focuses more on the task at hand. Others argue that the brain calms down during flow, rather than speeds up, allowing a person’s skills to take over.
In 2024, scientists brought 32 jazz guitarists to a lab to study the location and intensity of electrical activity in the brain while they were in flow. Some of the guitarists were newer at playing, and some had played at an expert level for years. The researchers asked them to give solo performances without preparation and report back whether they fell into flow states, all while being measured by machines.
They found that experienced musicians entered flow states more often and more intensely. The scientists then compared what was happening in the brain when musicians said they had high-flow performances versus low-flow ones, and the difference was obvious — there was less activity in the frontal lobes (前额叶) during flow states. Scientists believe the study’s findings show that flow takes place when the brain lets go and expertise (专长) takes over.
The research suggests that some amount of expertise is required for flow, whether it is during something thrilling, or a less intense activity. However, there’s no way to rush a flow state — it’s something that comes on its own time. When you first learn a new skill, it’s unlikely that you’ll experience flow. It may emerge over time, as one’s ability develops.
8. How does the author develop the first paragraph
A. By defining the “flow state”. B. By giving an example.
C. By making a comparison. D. By describing a scene.
9. What do the two theories in paragraph 2 differ in
A. The types of tasks that cause flow states. B. The time of flow states in different people.
C. The relationship between skills and flow. D. The brain’s activity level during flow states.
10. Which method was used to measure brain activity during flow states in 2024 study
A. Machines for tracking electrical brain activity. B. Questionnaires about emotional states.
C. Recordings of solo performances. D. interviews with jazz guitarists.
11. What does the last paragraph imply about flow states
A. They can be achieved through practice immediately.
B. They tend to appear as one’s skill improves.
C. They are more likely to occur when learning new skills.
D. They will not emerge unless challenges are overcome.
D
Is it okay to reboil water that’s already in the kettle from last time Boiling water kills bacteria in it. But you might have heard that if you boil the same water again and again, it could become bad for you. So, you should pour out the water from the kettle every time. Such claims are often accompanied by the argument that reboiled water leads to poisonous elements, including metals or salts.
This isn’t true. To understand why, we need to see what is in tap water. Taking the tap water supplied by Sydney Water as an example, the average water quality results were as follows: the pH was slightly alkaline (碱性的); the total dissolved solids were low enough; the fluoride (氟化物) level was appropriate for improving dental health, and it was classified as “soft” water. The water contained a small number of metals, which were too low to taste. If you were to make tea with this water, reboiling would not cause a health problem.
Water can turn into water vapor (the gas form of water) at any temperature, but it happens most at boiling. Some organic substances may escape, but inorganic ones like metals and salts stay in the water. Their level may rise a little as water turns into steam, but it’s difficult to concentrate such low level to the point that would be harmful.
Suppose you boil a pot of tap water which meets safety standards in the morning and use 200ml for a cup of tea. When you reboil the leftover water to make tea in the afternoon, the mineral amount in the second cup is nearly the same as the first. The bottom line is that as long as the water in your pot originally meets the safety standards for drinking water, it will remain safe to drink even after repeated boiling.
12 What do we know about reboiled water in paragraph 1
A It can kill germs. B. It results in harmful substances.
C. It makes tap water become salty. D. It reduces the metal level in water.
13. Why does the author take Sydney Water’s tap water as an example
A. To show the difference between soft water and hard water.
B. To prove that tap water is safer than popular soft drinks.
C. To introduce the standard water quality in Sydney.
D. To explain the reason why reboiled tap water is harmless.
14. What happens to inorganic substances in water when it is reboiled
A. Their level rises slightly but not to a harmful extent. B. They escape as water changes into steam.
C. They are transformed into organic substances. D. Their content decreases due to high temperature.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Harmful Substances in Water: Facts or Myths B. Reboiled Water: Healthy or Risky
C. Boiled Water: Beneficial or Dangerous D. Reboiled Water: Advantages or Disadvantages

47. 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。
Mia and Max were raised alone by their single mother Jennifer after their dad passed away when they were kids. Jennifer worked double shifts as a waitress at a downtown bar to make ends meet, and she could never afford a baby-sitter. Luckily, the neighbors on Maple Street all lent a hand — Mrs. Brown next door would pick the kids up from school, Mr. Wilson across the road taught Max to fix bikes, and even Teenager Lila helped Mia with her homework when Jennifer was late.
In return, Mia and Max became the neighborhood’s little helpers. They watered Mrs. Brown’s rose bushes every evening, walked Lila’s dog, Charlie, and carried groceries for the elderly Mr. Wilson. “Mommy says kindness is like a seed—you plant it, and it grows,” Mia often said. Max would nod approvingly and add, “Yeah A little help goes a long way for someone in need” Their giggles and bright smiles made the quiet street feel like a big family.
A terrible thing hit one afternoon when Max fell down during the break, unconscious. Immediately sent to the hospital, he was diagnosed with a serious disease that required expensive monthly medical fees. Jennifer started saving every extra penny. Worse still, she had to feed the kids the only one can of tomato soup in the fridge one evening. Taking it out, she added more water in it and served it to them. “It’s a bit watery, mommy,” Mia noted, but quickly took another spoonful, adding, “But it’s still yummy” Max nodded.
The next day, returning home early, Jennifer found Mia sitting on the step, selling her beloved dolls — her birthday and Christmas gifts — with a big poster reading “Dolls for Max’s Medical Fees”. “I love Max more than dolls,” Mia whispered. Jennifer hugged her, tears wetting her shirt. The next morning, Jennifer found in the mailbox an envelope with $2,000 and a note inside, “Thanks for your kids. Your children taught us kindness. Now let us give back.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jennifer walked into the room, the envelope in her hand.
