William Wordsworth's metaphor, “Your mind is the garden, your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” resonates with the idea that our mental landscape is similar to a garden, where the seeds of our thoughts determine the nature of our lives. This concept suggests that the way we nurture our thoughts can significantly impact our personal development and success.
Our thoughts are the seeds that, when nurtured with care, can blossom into the flowers of success and happiness. Conversely, neglecting the cultivation of our thoughts can lead to a life overgrown with the weeds of failure and despair. To ensure our minds bear the fruits of our desires, it's crucial to prepare the soil of our minds with the nutrients of education, health, and effective time management. These elements enrich our mental landscape, providing the ideal environment for our ambitions to take root and flourish.
The principle of sowing and reaping(收获) is as true for our lives as it is for a garden. Just as a gardener who plants tomatoes expects tomatoes, we should anticipate that the intentional cultivation of our thoughts will yield a corresponding harvest in life. Each of us holds the power to choose which seeds to plant, and thus, the responsibility for the outcomes we reap.
Moreover, the impact of our thoughts extends beyond personal success; they also influence our relationships and societal contributions. Kind thoughts and actions can foster harmony and cooperation, while negative thoughts can lead to conflict and isolation. The choice to plant seeds of empathy and understanding can result in a life enriched by strong social bonds and a sense of community. Additionally, our thoughts can shape our resilience in the face of adversity, as optimistic thinking can guide us through challenges, whereas pessimism may hinder our ability to overcome obstacles.
Drawing everything together, the garden of our mind requires deliberate tending. By selecting and nurturing positive thoughts, and by preparing the conditions for their growth, we can harvest a life rich with the fulfillment of our goals and dreams. The choice is ours: to plant the seeds of potential or to let the garden lie fallow(休耕). It is through this conscious cultivation that we can transform our minds from a plot overgrown with weeds into a garden blooming with the flowers of success and the fruits of meaningful contributions to society. The power to shape our destiny lies within us, and it begins with the thoughts we choose to plant today.
24. How does the author illustrate the concept of mental preparation in paragraph 1
A. By relating it to the achievement of personal goals.
B. By emphasizing the importance of seeds of thoughts.
C. By associating it with the management of natural conditions.
D. By comparing it to the process of gardening and seed nurturing.
25. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Life outcomes are decided in advance. B. Life outcomes come from desires.
C. Cultivating thoughts shapes life outcomes. D. Cultivating thoughts relies on life outcomes.
26. What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A. The power of thoughts in shaping our lives.
B. The importance of personal success in society.
C. The role of empathy in building a strong community.
D. The effect of optimism on overcoming life's challenges.
27. What conclusion can we draw from the text
A. We cannot change our destiny.
B. Cultivating positive thoughts matters.
C. Personal goals depend on social impact.
D. Our thoughts can directly lead to success.
C
When a person views a photograph of a hairy snake in a lab experiment, scientists usually see markers of increased electrical activity deep in that person's brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray (PAG). When a caged mouse smells a cat and freezes, scientists observe similar changes in the mouse's PAG. What's the obvious conclusion The PAG controls fight - or - flight responses of animals in threatening situations.
But what if brains don't have dedicated circuits for fighting and fleeing People clearly experience threats, but is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural(神经的) circuitry A body of recent evidence from my lab suggests that we don't go through life constantly detecting threats and reacting with flight - or - fight circuits. Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction. All brains constantly anticipate the needs of the body and attempt to meet those needs before they arise. They seek to reduce uncertainty to survive in circumstances that are only partially predictable.
Like every other animal, you have basic needs. To eat, drink and deal with other imperatives of life, you must move about in an ever - changing world populated with other living creatures. In an uncertain situation, your brain must gather multiple predictions with multiple action plans and maintain them for an extended time through neural activity and other brain functions.
Uncertainty is a normal condition of life, but these days, with social media and round - the - clock news coverage, it sometimes bombards(轰炸) us. At every moment, there's a crisis somewhere in the world: wars, natural disasters and other issues. Too much uncertainty can leave you feeling anxious and worn out. But these feelings don't emerge from overtaxed fight - or - flight circuits. They may just mean your brain is trying hard to tackle something uncertain.
28. Why does the author mention the caged mouse
A. To correct an obvious mistake. B. To illustrate a common observation.
C. To make a simple comparison. D. To introduce a popular interpretation.
29. What does the author think of the fight - or - flight idea
A. It overlooks the brain's predictive power.
B. It can keep humans' bad manners in check.
C. It accounts for a primary mode of the brain.
D. It best explains the animals' neural activity.
30. What does the underlined word "imperatives" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Complex instructions. B. Essential necessities.
C. Unpredictable challenges. D. Repeated actions and habits.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Uncertainty: The Brain's Greatest Challenge
B. Prediction, Not Reaction: How Brains Really Work
C. The Truth about the Brain's Threat Detection System
D. Inside the Periaqueductal Gray: A Key Brain Region
D
Philosophers suffer from a bad reputation for dry and dull expression. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un - split.
There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like but this isn't the only approach to philosophical inquiry. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and music. Nothing captures attention quite like an appealing tale, and there exist profoundly philosophical stories that engage and delight, rather than lull the reader to sleep.
One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which strives to be very clear, stories don't wear their meanings on their sleeve——they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.
Consider what philosophers term the metaphysics(形而上学) of race——an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether race is real. Three primary positions can be adopted on this matter. One might think that a person's race is written in their genes(a position known as “biological realism”). Alternatively, one might view race as socially constructed, similar to concepts like weekdays or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, one might argue that races are unreal——more comparable to mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns than to Thursdays or dollars (“anti - realism”).
In Black No More, George Schuyler offers a social constructionist perspective on race. The story follows a Black scientist named Crookman who invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman's Black No More clinics and pay him their hard - earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a concluding episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one's skin so as to look more authentically White.
Philosophically rich stories such as this breathe vitality into more technical philosophical works. They serve as narratives to think with, providing vivid, engaging access to complex abstract debates.
32. What is a crucial difference between formal philosophy and stories
A. Stories are intended to be more precise.
B. Formal philosophy avoids abstract ideas.
C. Stories inspire appreciation and critical thinking.
D. Formal philosophy exists in academic journals only.
33. Which category might “national identity” fall into according to paragraph 4
A. Biological realism. B. Anti - realism. C. Social constructionism. D. Literary realism.
34. What message is conveyed in the novel Black No More
A. Race is actually real. B. Race is entirely fictional.
C. Race is biologically fixed. D. Race is socially shaped.
35. What is the author's main purpose in writing this text
A. To criticize philosophical writing for being boring.
B. To argue that stories are superior to formal philosophy.
C. To detail three metaphysical perspectives regarding race.
D. To demonstrate literature's capacity to explore philosophy.

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。
You might think that the difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees would not be that great, but climate scientists have run simulations(模拟) of both situations. The news is not good. In many ways, a 2 - degree rise wouldn't simply be 33 percent worse than 1.5; it could be 100 percent worse. 36 Corn production in the tropics would go down twice as much.
Any one of these effects of climate change will be bad enough. But no one's going to suffer from just hot days, or just floods, and nothing else. That's not how climate works. 37
38 They like it humid(湿热的), and they'll move from areas that dry out to ones that become more humid. So we'll see cases of malaria and other insect - borne diseases where they've never appeared before.
Heatstroke(中暑) will be another major problem, and it's linked to the humidity, of all things. Air can contain only a certain amount of water vapor. At some point it hits a ceiling, filled with so much water that it can't absorb any more. 39 Because the human body's ability to cool off depends on the air's ability to absorb sweat as it evaporates(蒸发). If the air can't absorb your sweat, then it can't cool you off, no matter how much you sweat. 40 Your body temperature stays high, and if nothing changes, you die of heatstroke within hours.
A. Why do you sweat
B. Why does that matter
C. But you would find more examples later.
D. There's simply nowhere for your sweat to go.
E. The effects of climate change add up, one on top of the other.
F. Twice as many people would have trouble getting clean water.
G. As it gets hotter, for example, mosquitoes will start living in new places.

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。
It was a cold December. Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own. My father had drowned in Pitt Lake five years earlier. Because Dad had no pension or benefits, there was not much money; we went on social assistance.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles(鞋底) were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. This was bread deep - fried in lard(猪油). Constant moving was typical for my family in those days, and it didn't look like we'd be in our current house much longer. Rent was $25 a month, but Mum couldn't pay it, and we knew we would be forced out after Christmas.
The holidays were fast approaching, and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. An inspector came to our house and searched thoroughly to be sure we didn't have any food hidden away. When he didn't find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we'd have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us there would be no Christmas gifts.
Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots——boots with no cardboard in the soles. They were ten - inch, Top - Genuine, and cost $23.
The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried toward the bus stop to catch the bus into town. But on the way to the bus stop I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized we had no lights, no decorations and no Christmas goodies. I also knew we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner. But at least there would be French toast.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

As digital devices become more common in education, the debate over using tablets in class is heating up. I firmly support the full integration of tablets into our classrooms.
To begin with, tablets serve as powerful interactive tools. With educational apps and instant online resources, lessons can transform from passive listening into engaging explorations, making complex subjects easier to grasp. Additionally, they promote efficiency. Digital note - taking, organized materials, and quick access to information save valuable time and reduce paper waste, allowing us to focus more on critical thinking.
In conclusion, when used responsibly, tablets are not distractions but gateways to a more dynamic and effective
learning environment.
【参考范文2】
As more schools consider using tablets in every class, many concerns have been raised. I firmly believe the drawbacks of their full adoption in classrooms outweigh the benefits.
The primary concern is distraction. With social media and games just a tap away, maintaining focus during class would become a significant challenge for many students. Furthermore, staring at screens for too long can cause health problems, such as digital eye strain, which could negatively impact our well - being. Lastly, over - reliance on technology might weaken our fundamental skills, like handwriting and sustained reading on paper.
Therefore, I believe we should prioritize traditional, focused learning methods while using technology only as a carefully regulated supplement.

As I continued walking, I began to think the boots could wait. The image of our shabby house and Mum's worried expression kept flashing in my mind. The boots I had been longing for suddenly seemed less important. I thought about how happy my siblings would be if we had a proper Christmas. The guilt inside me grew stronger. I realized that the money could bring much - needed cheer to our home. Maybe I could buy some cheap but colorful Christmas decorations and a few small presents - for my family. The idea of making my family smile overshadowed my desire for the boots.
The bus drove off without me. I stood alone, a strange sense of relief washing over me. I quickly made my way to a discount store. I picked out some twinkling lights, a small, artificial Christmas tree, and a box of cookies. When I arrived home, Mum was in the kitchen, looking tired. I showed her what I had bought, and her eyes widened in surprise. She hugged me tightly, and I felt a lump in my throat. That Christmas, our home was filled with laughter and love, and I knew I had made the right choice.
【参考范文2】
As I continued walking, I began to think the boots could wait. How was I supposed to be happy if everyone else in the family was not At the thought of my family, I found the idea of buying the beautiful boots I had wanted for so long far less appealing. As I reached the bus stop, the driver opened the door, waiting for me to get on. I stood there for what seemed like a century, until finally the driver asked, "Son, are you getting on this bus or not " I finally burst out without hesitation, "No, thanks."
The bus drove off without me. I stood alone, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I knew what I had to do next. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went to buy a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas decorations. I spent every coin of my hard - earned money. Once I got home, I knocked on the door. I could not wait to see Mum's face! When Mum opened the door, and saw me returning with a full load, she just stood there, too stunned to speak. Holding back the tears, I exclaimed excitedly, "Merry Christmas, Mum!"

M: What are you up to
W: Checking my college application form. I've finally come to a decision about what to study in college.
M: Is engineering still your top choice
W: Yeah. I was thinking of studying computer science, but I decided against it in the end.
Text 2
W: May I help you, sir
M: Yes, I'm looking to replace my old laptop bag. I go on a lot of business trips, so I'm looking for something with wheels.
Text 3
W: When will you be arriving, Mr. Baranski
M: Let me see. It's Monday today, so on Thursday, the 16th of May:
W: And how long will you be staying
M: Two nights, leaving on Saturday.
Text 4
M: I'm leaving next week for the trip and I still don't know what to do with my Cooper.
W: Well, you know I am sensitive to animals so I can't help. Hey! I just remembered I have a friend that has a pet hotel.
M: I guess I can do that.
Text 5
M: You look stressed. Is there something wrong
W: I've been trying to delete a table from my report but every time I do, it ruins the file format.
M: I'll fix it for you, if you agree to help me with the shopping later.
Text 6
M: Hi Barbara, how's the new house
W: We still have to decorate the living room and the bedrooms, but that's because I spent the last two months working outside, planting flowers and trees trying to make it look beautiful. You know me, I'll never be inside if I can be out in the fresh air.
M: I bet you miss all the conveniences of the city, don't you
W: Not really. I like living in a village.
M: I hope Brian shares your views and isn't missing city life too much.
Text 7
W: Mike, did you notice the slow service tonight It's unusually crowded.
M: Yeah. Our orders took forever to arrive, and they got mine wrong.
W: Same here. And the wait staff seem busy and understaffed. I saw a few tables complaining about their orders too. I think we should talk to the manager before leaving.
M: Definitely. This level of service isn't acceptable for such a reputable restaurant.
W: Let's do that. Maybe they can improve service for future diners. And it could help them understand what went wrong tonight.
M: Good idea. I'll ask for the manager once we finish our meal.
W: It's important to address these issues constructively rather than just leaving without saying anything.
M: Absolutely, Amanda.
Text 8
W: I've just seen Mel. She was telling me about that qualification she's doing. It's something about life coaching, isn't it
M: That's right. She'll be great at it. You know how many times she has helped us with our problems
W: Is that all life coaching means
M: Well, life coaches show their clients how to adopt new approaches or new routines, and this enables them to make permanent changes. It's about much more than analyzing a specific problem and fixing it.
W: You sound like Mel! I'm still lost, though.
M: Look, take something you're always complaining about. Like, having to do chores around the house. A life coach would help you address this by helping you change your attitude to doing the chores in the first place. By working on your mindset, that will help you go forward.
W: Oh, that makes sense. Mel would be brilliant at that.
Text 9
W: Trent, how did you get into mountain climbing
M: Many people start climbing because they've watched a television documentary about climbing a mountain and a good friend enjoyed reading the biography of a famous climber. My experience was more unusual, though. When I was nine, I started at a new school where there was an amazing artwork on the wall. It showed some snow - covered mountains and I thought, I want to climb those!
W: You climbed your first big mountain when you were ten. How did you feel beforehand
M: I was convinced I'd be really nervous before we set off, but the opposite was actually true, which I couldn't quite believe. I went with very experienced climbers whom I trusted.
W: You decided to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents. Why was that
M: My grandfather became ill and there wasn't much financial support for scientists trying to find a cure, so I asked people to sponsor me to climb the seven peaks. I became the youngest person ever to climb them, though that wasn't my reason for doing it.
Text 10
M: Hi, my talk today is about an invention, the modern car seat belt.
The inventor of the modern car seat belt was a Swedish man called Nils Bohlin. Bohlin had trained as a mechanical engineer at college before gaining his first employment as an aircraft designer. He did well, so was invited to join a car manufacturing company as a safety engineer.
Bohlin had often worked on improving seats and seat belts for planes since starting his working life in 1942. After joining the car manufacturer in 1958, he spent the following 12 months developing his ideas for cars, and then a car featuring Bohlin's creation on both front seats was introduced, making it the earliest example of a vehicle with modern seat belts.
However, it took many years for them to become widely accepted. Japan made it a rule that everyone must wear seat
belts in their cars across the whole country in 1971. A year earlier, two of the six states in Australia had introduced similar rules. France was the first European nation to create seat belt laws several years later. It's incredible to think that some investment in research and development in the manufacturing industry has had such a huge global impact.

William Wordsworth's metaphor, “Your mind is the garden, your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” resonates with the idea that our mental landscape is similar to a garden, where the seeds of our thoughts determine the nature of our lives. This concept suggests that the way we nurture our thoughts can significantly impact our personal development and success.
Our thoughts are the seeds that, when nurtured with care, can blossom into the flowers of success and happiness. Conversely, neglecting the cultivation of our thoughts can lead to a life overgrown with the weeds of failure and despair. To ensure our minds bear the fruits of our desires, it's crucial to prepare the soil of our minds with the nutrients of education, health, and effective time management. These elements enrich our mental landscape, providing the ideal environment for our ambitions to take root and flourish.
The principle of sowing and reaping(收获) is as true for our lives as it is for a garden. Just as a gardener who plants tomatoes expects tomatoes, we should anticipate that the intentional cultivation of our thoughts will yield a corresponding harvest in life. Each of us holds the power to choose which seeds to plant, and thus, the responsibility for the outcomes we reap.
Moreover, the impact of our thoughts extends beyond personal success; they also influence our relationships and societal contributions. Kind thoughts and actions can foster harmony and cooperation, while negative thoughts can lead to conflict and isolation. The choice to plant seeds of empathy and understanding can result in a life enriched by strong social bonds and a sense of community. Additionally, our thoughts can shape our resilience in the face of adversity, as optimistic thinking can guide us through challenges, whereas pessimism may hinder our ability to overcome obstacles.
Drawing everything together, the garden of our mind requires deliberate tending. By selecting and nurturing positive thoughts, and by preparing the conditions for their growth, we can harvest a life rich with the fulfillment of our goals and dreams. The choice is ours: to plant the seeds of potential or to let the garden lie fallow(休耕). It is through this conscious cultivation that we can transform our minds from a plot overgrown with weeds into a garden blooming with the flowers of success and the fruits of meaningful contributions to society. The power to shape our destiny lies within us, and it begins with the thoughts we choose to plant today.
24. How does the author illustrate the concept of mental preparation in paragraph 1
A. By relating it to the achievement of personal goals.
B. By emphasizing the importance of seeds of thoughts.
C. By associating it with the management of natural conditions.
D. By comparing it to the process of gardening and seed nurturing.
25. What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. Life outcomes are decided in advance. B. Life outcomes come from desires.
C. Cultivating thoughts shapes life outcomes. D. Cultivating thoughts relies on life outcomes.
26. What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A. The power of thoughts in shaping our lives.
B. The importance of personal success in society.
C. The role of empathy in building a strong community.
D. The effect of optimism on overcoming life's challenges.
27. What conclusion can we draw from the text
A. We cannot change our destiny.
B. Cultivating positive thoughts matters.
C. Personal goals depend on social impact.
D. Our thoughts can directly lead to success.
C
When a person views a photograph of a hairy snake in a lab experiment, scientists usually see markers of increased electrical activity deep in that person's brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray (PAG). When a caged mouse smells a cat and freezes, scientists observe similar changes in the mouse's PAG. What's the obvious conclusion The PAG controls fight - or - flight responses of animals in threatening situations.
But what if brains don't have dedicated circuits for fighting and fleeing People clearly experience threats, but is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural(神经的) circuitry A body of recent evidence from my lab suggests that we don't go through life constantly detecting threats and reacting with flight - or - fight circuits. Actually, brains operate mainly by prediction, not reaction. All brains constantly anticipate the needs of the body and attempt to meet those needs before they arise. They seek to reduce uncertainty to survive in circumstances that are only partially predictable.
Like every other animal, you have basic needs. To eat, drink and deal with other imperatives of life, you must move about in an ever - changing world populated with other living creatures. In an uncertain situation, your brain must gather multiple predictions with multiple action plans and maintain them for an extended time through neural activity and other brain functions.
Uncertainty is a normal condition of life, but these days, with social media and round - the - clock news coverage, it sometimes bombards(轰炸) us. At every moment, there's a crisis somewhere in the world: wars, natural disasters and other issues. Too much uncertainty can leave you feeling anxious and worn out. But these feelings don't emerge from overtaxed fight - or - flight circuits. They may just mean your brain is trying hard to tackle something uncertain.
28. Why does the author mention the caged mouse
A. To correct an obvious mistake. B. To illustrate a common observation.
C. To make a simple comparison. D. To introduce a popular interpretation.
29. What does the author think of the fight - or - flight idea
A. It overlooks the brain's predictive power.
B. It can keep humans' bad manners in check.
C. It accounts for a primary mode of the brain.
D. It best explains the animals' neural activity.
30. What does the underlined word "imperatives" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Complex instructions. B. Essential necessities.
C. Unpredictable challenges. D. Repeated actions and habits.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Uncertainty: The Brain's Greatest Challenge
B. Prediction, Not Reaction: How Brains Really Work
C. The Truth about the Brain's Threat Detection System
D. Inside the Periaqueductal Gray: A Key Brain Region
D
Philosophers suffer from a bad reputation for dry and dull expression. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un - split.
There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like but this isn't the only approach to philosophical inquiry. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and music. Nothing captures attention quite like an appealing tale, and there exist profoundly philosophical stories that engage and delight, rather than lull the reader to sleep.
One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which strives to be very clear, stories don't wear their meanings on their sleeve——they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.
Consider what philosophers term the metaphysics(形而上学) of race——an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether race is real. Three primary positions can be adopted on this matter. One might think that a person's race is written in their genes(a position known as “biological realism”). Alternatively, one might view race as socially constructed, similar to concepts like weekdays or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, one might argue that races are unreal——more comparable to mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns than to Thursdays or dollars (“anti - realism”).
In Black No More, George Schuyler offers a social constructionist perspective on race. The story follows a Black scientist named Crookman who invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman's Black No More clinics and pay him their hard - earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a concluding episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one's skin so as to look more authentically White.
Philosophically rich stories such as this breathe vitality into more technical philosophical works. They serve as narratives to think with, providing vivid, engaging access to complex abstract debates.
32. What is a crucial difference between formal philosophy and stories
A. Stories are intended to be more precise.
B. Formal philosophy avoids abstract ideas.
C. Stories inspire appreciation and critical thinking.
D. Formal philosophy exists in academic journals only.
33. Which category might “national identity” fall into according to paragraph 4
A. Biological realism. B. Anti - realism. C. Social constructionism. D. Literary realism.
34. What message is conveyed in the novel Black No More
A. Race is actually real. B. Race is entirely fictional.
C. Race is biologically fixed. D. Race is socially shaped.
35. What is the author's main purpose in writing this text
A. To criticize philosophical writing for being boring.
B. To argue that stories are superior to formal philosophy.
C. To detail three metaphysical perspectives regarding race.
D. To demonstrate literature's capacity to explore philosophy.

You might think that the difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees would not be that great, but climate scientists have run simulations(模拟) of both situations. The news is not good. In many ways, a 2 - degree rise wouldn't simply be 33 percent worse than 1.5; it could be 100 percent worse. 36 Corn production in the tropics would go down twice as much.
Any one of these effects of climate change will be bad enough. But no one's going to suffer from just hot days, or just floods, and nothing else. That's not how climate works. 37
38 They like it humid(湿热的), and they'll move from areas that dry out to ones that become more humid. So we'll see cases of malaria and other insect - borne diseases where they've never appeared before.
Heatstroke(中暑) will be another major problem, and it's linked to the humidity, of all things. Air can contain only a certain amount of water vapor. At some point it hits a ceiling, filled with so much water that it can't absorb any more. 39 Because the human body's ability to cool off depends on the air's ability to absorb sweat as it evaporates(蒸发). If the air can't absorb your sweat, then it can't cool you off, no matter how much you sweat. 40 Your body temperature stays high, and if nothing changes, you die of heatstroke within hours.
A. Why do you sweat
B. Why does that matter
C. But you would find more examples later.
D. There's simply nowhere for your sweat to go.
E. The effects of climate change add up, one on top of the other.
F. Twice as many people would have trouble getting clean water.
G. As it gets hotter, for example, mosquitoes will start living in new places.

As she explained the results of her 51 in class, the students' eyes got bigger and bigger. “It scared a few of them into deleting their pages 52 ,” she says. Others have removed inappropriate posts and used privacy settings to 53 their pages.
Her 54 wasn't to scare them off social media but to push them to be 55 of what they post. Melissa says, “I tell them, ‘It doesn't mean you have to just because everyone else is sharing.’”

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。
It was a cold December. Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own. My father had drowned in Pitt Lake five years earlier. Because Dad had no pension or benefits, there was not much money; we went on social assistance.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles(鞋底) were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. This was bread deep - fried in lard(猪油). Constant moving was typical for my family in those days, and it didn't look like we'd be in our current house much longer. Rent was $25 a month, but Mum couldn't pay it, and we knew we would be forced out after Christmas.
The holidays were fast approaching, and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. An inspector came to our house and searched thoroughly to be sure we didn't have any food hidden away. When he didn't find any, he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we'd have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us there would be no Christmas gifts.
Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots——boots with no cardboard in the soles. They were ten - inch, Top - Genuine, and cost $23.
The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried toward the bus stop to catch the bus into town. But on the way to the bus stop I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized we had no lights, no decorations and no Christmas goodies. I also knew we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner. But at least there would be French toast.

【参考范文1】
As digital devices become more common in education, the debate over using tablets in class is heating up. I firmly support the full integration of tablets into our classrooms.
To begin with, tablets serve as powerful interactive tools. With educational apps and instant online resources, lessons can transform from passive listening into engaging explorations, making complex subjects easier to grasp. Additionally, they promote efficiency. Digital note - taking, organized materials, and quick access to information save valuable time and reduce paper waste, allowing us to focus more on critical thinking.
In conclusion, when used responsibly, tablets are not distractions but gateways to a more dynamic and effective
learning environment.
【参考范文2】
As more schools consider using tablets in every class, many concerns have been raised. I firmly believe the drawbacks of their full adoption in classrooms outweigh the benefits.
The primary concern is distraction. With social media and games just a tap away, maintaining focus during class would become a significant challenge for many students. Furthermore, staring at screens for too long can cause health problems, such as digital eye strain, which could negatively impact our well - being. Lastly, over - reliance on technology might weaken our fundamental skills, like handwriting and sustained reading on paper.
Therefore, I believe we should prioritize traditional, focused learning methods while using technology only as a carefully regulated supplement.

As I continued walking, I began to think the boots could wait. The image of our shabby house and Mum's worried expression kept flashing in my mind. The boots I had been longing for suddenly seemed less important. I thought about how happy my siblings would be if we had a proper Christmas. The guilt inside me grew stronger. I realized that the money could bring much - needed cheer to our home. Maybe I could buy some cheap but colorful Christmas decorations and a few small presents - for my family. The idea of making my family smile overshadowed my desire for the boots.
The bus drove off without me. I stood alone, a strange sense of relief washing over me. I quickly made my way to a discount store. I picked out some twinkling lights, a small, artificial Christmas tree, and a box of cookies. When I arrived home, Mum was in the kitchen, looking tired. I showed her what I had bought, and her eyes widened in surprise. She hugged me tightly, and I felt a lump in my throat. That Christmas, our home was filled with laughter and love, and I knew I had made the right choice.
【参考范文2】
As I continued walking, I began to think the boots could wait. How was I supposed to be happy if everyone else in the family was not At the thought of my family, I found the idea of buying the beautiful boots I had wanted for so long far less appealing. As I reached the bus stop, the driver opened the door, waiting for me to get on. I stood there for what seemed like a century, until finally the driver asked, "Son, are you getting on this bus or not " I finally burst out without hesitation, "No, thanks."
The bus drove off without me. I stood alone, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I knew what I had to do next. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went to buy a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas decorations. I spent every coin of my hard - earned money. Once I got home, I knocked on the door. I could not wait to see Mum's face! When Mum opened the door, and saw me returning with a full load, she just stood there, too stunned to speak. Holding back the tears, I exclaimed excitedly, "Merry Christmas, Mum!"

W: May I help you, sir
M: Yes, I'm looking to replace my old laptop bag. I go on a lot of business trips, so I'm looking for something with wheels.

W: When will you be arriving, Mr. Baranski
M: Let me see. It's Monday today, so on Thursday, the 16th of May:
W: And how long will you be staying
M: Two nights, leaving on Saturday.

M: I'm leaving next week for the trip and I still don't know what to do with my Cooper.
W: Well, you know I am sensitive to animals so I can't help. Hey! I just remembered I have a friend that has a pet hotel.
M: I guess I can do that.
Text 5
M: You look stressed. Is there something wrong
W: I've been trying to delete a table from my report but every time I do, it ruins the file format.
M: I'll fix it for you, if you agree to help me with the shopping later.

M: Hi Barbara, how's the new house
W: We still have to decorate the living room and the bedrooms, but that's because I spent the last two months working outside, planting flowers and trees trying to make it look beautiful. You know me, I'll never be inside if I can be out in the fresh air.
M: I bet you miss all the conveniences of the city, don't you
W: Not really. I like living in a village.

W: Mike, did you notice the slow service tonight It's unusually crowded.
M: Yeah. Our orders took forever to arrive, and they got mine wrong.
W: Same here. And the wait staff seem busy and understaffed. I saw a few tables complaining about their orders too. I think we should talk to the manager before leaving.
M: Definitely. This level of service isn't acceptable for such a reputable restaurant.
W: Let's do that. Maybe they can improve service for future diners. And it could help them understand what went wrong tonight.
M: Good idea. I'll ask for the manager once we finish our meal.
W: It's important to address these issues constructively rather than just leaving without saying anything.
M: Absolutely, Amanda.

W: I've just seen Mel. She was telling me about that qualification she's doing. It's something about life coaching, isn't it
M: That's right. She'll be great at it. You know how many times she has helped us with our problems
W: Is that all life coaching means
M: Well, life coaches show their clients how to adopt new approaches or new routines, and this enables them to make permanent changes. It's about much more than analyzing a specific problem and fixing it.
W: You sound like Mel! I'm still lost, though.
M: Look, take something you're always complaining about. Like, having to do chores around the house. A life coach would help you address this by helping you change your attitude to doing the chores in the first place. By working on your mindset, that will help you go forward.
W: Oh, that makes sense. Mel would be brilliant at that.

W: Trent, how did you get into mountain climbing
M: Many people start climbing because they've watched a television documentary about climbing a mountain and a good friend enjoyed reading the biography of a famous climber. My experience was more unusual, though. When I was nine, I started at a new school where there was an amazing artwork on the wall. It showed some snow - covered mountains and I thought, I want to climb those!
W: You climbed your first big mountain when you were ten. How did you feel beforehand
M: I was convinced I'd be really nervous before we set off, but the opposite was actually true, which I couldn't quite believe. I went with very experienced climbers whom I trusted.
W: You decided to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents. Why was that
M: My grandfather became ill and there wasn't much financial support for scientists trying to find a cure, so I asked people to sponsor me to climb the seven peaks. I became the youngest person ever to climb them, though that wasn't my reason for doing it.

M: Hi, my talk today is about an invention, the modern car seat belt.
The inventor of the modern car seat belt was a Swedish man called Nils Bohlin. Bohlin had trained as a mechanical engineer at college before gaining his first employment as an aircraft designer. He did well, so was invited to join a car manufacturing company as a safety engineer.
Bohlin had often worked on improving seats and seat belts for planes since starting his working life in 1942. After joining the car manufacturer in 1958, he spent the following 12 months developing his ideas for cars, and then a car featuring Bohlin's creation on both front seats was introduced, making it the earliest example of a vehicle with modern seat belts.
However, it took many years for them to become widely accepted. Japan made it a rule that everyone must wear seat
belts in their cars across the whole country in 1971. A year earlier, two of the six states in Australia had introduced similar rules. France was the first European nation to create seat belt laws several years later. It's incredible to think that some investment in research and development in the manufacturing industry has had such a huge global impact.
