The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
4. What did the author think of her winter life in New York
A. Exciting. B. Boring.
C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.
5. What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile
A. Having a swim.
B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun.
D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.
6. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter
A. They are soft. B. They look nice.
C. They taste great D. They are juicy.
7. What was the author going to that evening
A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel.
C. Eat in a restaurant. D. Buy fresh vegatables.
C
Spiders are pretty remarkable. They live almost everywhere, from rainforests to deserts. Some even spend most of their lives underwater. They are smarter than you think, with some able to make plans and count. Scientists think they might even dream when they sleep. Yet many people find these eight-legged animals scary. Now, it seems, fake news maybe mostly to blame.
Media reports about people’s encounters with spiders tend to be full of falsehoods, a new study finds. “The vast majority of the spider content out there is about their being scary and hurting people, ”says arachnologist Catherine Scott. In reality, researchers note, “Spiders almost never bite people.” In fact, many spiders protect us by eating insects, such as mosquitoes, which spread disease. Even spiders that could pose a threat rarely bite people, Scott says.
For the new study, Scott and their colleagues analyzed more than 5,000 online newspaper stories about humans and spiders. Each had been published between 2010 and 2020. They came from 81 countries and were written in 40 languages. The researchers didn’t just find errors in the stories. More than four in ten, articles had overblown the spiders’ behaviors and often used sensational words like killers and nightmares to describe them.
If people knew the truth about spiders, they would spend less time blaming them for bites caused by other animals, Scott argues. People might also be less likely to kill spiders with pesticides that are poisonous to other species including humans. Clearing spiders’ name would be good for them, too. Say, for instance, the ones in your house that don’t get squashed (压扁) out of fear.
Improving spiders’ public image could even boost conservation efforts in general. “Spiders are kind of unique in that they seem to be really good at grabbing people’s attention,” says Lisa Taylor, an arachnologist who was not involved in the study. “If that attention is paired with real information about how fascinating they are, then I think spiders are well-suited to serve as tiny ambassadors for wildlife in general.”
8. What probably contributes to spiders’ ill names
A. Scientific studies. B. Untrue stories.
C. Their errors. D. Their ugly looks.
9. What can we learn about spiders from Paragraph 2
A. Spiders are smarter than you. B. Spiders never bite people.
C. Most spiders spread disease. D. Spiders protect people in a way.
10. What can we infer from Lisa Taylor’s words
A. Spiders are not good at disguising themselves.
B. Spiders would be better protected if treated rightly.
C. Public attention is consistent with real information.
D. Improvement in spiders’ public image makes no sense.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Spiders Unfairly Negative B. Spiders’ Public Image
C. Well-suited Ambassadors D. Spiders Actually Scary
D
You booked the Airbnb. You stepped away from work. Maybe you even left your laptop behind. But now it’s Monday, and you’re somehow more exhausted than before. If you’ve ever returned from a “restful” weekend still tired, you weren’t imagining it. Many high-achievers try to solve burnout with surface-level breaks — only to find themselves back at square one, but with unpacked bags and a backlog of emails.
The problem isn’t your weekend. It’s what you’re carrying into it. Burnout isn’t just physical tiredness. It’s emotional exhaustion, decision fatigue (疲劳), mental overload, and a constant sense of “I should be doing more”. So if your day-to-day life feels like an endless to-do list, a weekend off — while lovely — isn’t going to change that. You’re not just tired. You’re overfunctioning. And a 48-hour break can’t undo a lifestyle that demands superhuman energy.
So what can help Name what kind of tired you are. Not all fatigue is solved by napping. Start by identifying if you’re emotionally, socially, or mentally tired. Give yourself permission to rest imperfectly. You need recovery that meets your actual needs — even if that means staying home or canceling several plans. Build micro-rest into your week. Stop saving rest for PTO (Paid Time Off). Reset with quiet meals, five-minute walks, or letting a task go undone.
Tiny exits from busy mode add up. The real fix isn’t a better vacation — it’s a better baseline. You deserve a life that doesn’t require heroic recovery. Start by creating space for yourself daily, not just on the extra amount of time. Rest isn’t a reward — it’s a requirement for living well.
12. What is the primary function of the first paragraph
A. To criticize the modern work culture. B. To present a common experience about rest.
C. To introduce several ways to relax on weekends. D. To describe possible problems during a journey.
13. What is suggested as an effective way to deal with fatigue
A. Canceling all the plans for a perfect rest. B. Saving up rest time for longer paid vacations.
C. Taking short breaks during the working time. D. Planning lively weekend meals with friends.
14. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
A. Longer vacations are better for recovery. B. The solution lies in restructuring daily life.
C. People should pursue heroic recovery. D. You could reward yourself with a better living space.
15. Which of the following would be the best title of the article
A. What makes an energized long vacation B. Why do your weekends fail to recharge you
C. What leads to your physical exhaustion D. How can we plan a perfect restful weekend

57. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
While many of us go to sleep before midnight, some teenagers choose to stay up much later. They are not driven by the burning desire to write a better essay or achieve a higher grade. Instead, they are busy playing online games. Known as young Internet addicts (有瘾的人), they have long been a problem in China. A report released (发行) in 2016 by the China Youth Association for Network Development showed that there were over 24 million young Internet addicts among China’s young urban Internet users. The report also said that over 18 million youths had a tendency to develop Internet addiction.
To deal with the problem of Internet addiction among teenagers, the Cyberspace Administration of China has released draft (草案) regulations which carried out a ban on online gaming. If the regulations are adopted under-18s would be banned from playing online games between midnight and 8 am.
As soon as the government’s draft law surfaced, it drew great attention from the public. Some support the law as a way to better protect teenagers, saying that too much overnight gaming is harmful to teenagers’ health and believing the period between midnight and 8 am to be important to human physical functions. However, others wondered whether it would be practical if it came into effect, as teenagers could just borrow their parents’ IDs to register (注册) accounts to play online games. The Guangming Daily suggested that parents should help their teenagers find a balance between the cyber world and the real world.
China is by no means the only one trying to fight against teenager gaming addiction. Germany introduced a regulation in 2002 in an attempt to stop teens from playing online games from 10 pm to 6 am. Meanwhile, the UK, the US and Australia have forced a rating system on computer games to make sure that teenagers cannot access “adult” content such as violence, sex or bad language.
