At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra (希腊神话人物). She smiles a lot. Her manner is
kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer.
Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity
she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew
nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might
call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling
book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
“At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t
get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid?
How did I handle it? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t
enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to cover all
that she has learned for the benefit of each individual.
While her publisher describes Come What May as a road map for resilience (韧性), the word is one Easthope
dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during
illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to
forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect.
4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1?
A. Friendly and energetic. B. Competent and cautious.
C. Cheerful and easy-going. D. Serious and unapproachable.
5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A. The publication of a best seller.
B. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief.
C. The growth of professional disaster circles.
D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.
6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3?
A. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears.
B. To explain Easthope’s writing process.C. To showcase Easthope’s writing motivation.
D. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work.
7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters?
A. Forgetting aids recovery.
B. Resilience matters most.
C. Positive thinking takes the lead.
D. Minor sufferings deserve attention.
C
New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or
when they are implanted within us?
Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new
tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower
for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high
TQ means you’re good at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet.
The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parents it might be a home-school
video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting, which helps the brand’s content rank higher
in search results. And for the doctor, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT
scan. TQ tries to quantify our ability to make wise use of present technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and
make use of future creations. This adoption is of great importance from a variety of perspectives, from social to
business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the way AI and search interact and operate is
changing for just about everyone.
Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in predicting the potential for a child’s success. But
what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will
be a key aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active
participation in everything from smartphones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food,
water and shelter to include technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it.
While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how
we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable advantage.
8. What is TQ according to the text?
A. Ability to use new technologies. B. Skill of repairing high-tech products.
C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Speed of learning new languages.
9. Which of the following people has a high TQ?A. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance.
B. A manager who often uses modern search engines.
C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices challenging.
D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life.
10. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Depend on. B. Take in. C. Lie in. D. Insist on.
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ?
B. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence?
C. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era?
D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes?
D
Human beings are social creatures. We build bonds, cultivate friendships, and nurture family ties in hopes of
finding love, support, and understanding. Yet, many of us discover that it is sometimes easier to confide in a stranger
than in someone close to us. Why would we share our fears with a therapist, a fellow traveler on a train, or even an
anonymous(匿名的) voice on the Internet rather than with our spouse, sibling, or best friend?
When you know you won’t see the person again, you’re a little too comfortable. The absence of attachment,
coupled with the fact that there are hardly any negative outcomes, leads to a sense of relative safety, encouraging
emotional expression. In contrast, social connections built over time come with assumptions, judgments, and
expectations, which can hinder individuals from fully expressing themselves. When we need comfort, we’re cautious
that those close to us might not offer the unconditional support we’re looking for. So, we pour our heart out to
someone else altogether.
Strangers offer the unique advantage of providing fresh perspectives and objective viewpoints, breaking negative
circular thinking. Moreover, they can be outspoken in their takes because they don’t have to worry about how we
might feel about their responses. In the digital age, online communities and anonymous forums have become modern
spaces for emotional disclosure. Digital strangers combine two crucial factors: anonymity and shared experience.
You might be more willing to talk about your anxiety with an anonymous forum dedicated to mental health than with
your sibling who doesn’t understand it.
Strangers offer neutrality, lack of judgment, and anonymity — qualities that sometimes make them better
listeners than friends or family. Sometimes we choose not to open our hearts to those close to us, not because we
don’t trust them, but because we fear burdening them or altering the relationship.
Strangers have no history to shade their judgment. Their distance lets confessions be received without the filtersof habit or role. Sometimes, to be truly heard, we must first step outside the orbit of those we love, entrusting our
hearts to the unknown, and in doing so, rediscover the vitality of being truly seen.
12. What is the main reason people feel safer confiding in strangers?
A. Strangers are usually more compassionate.
B. Strangers with similar problems are easier to find.
C. Strangers bring no lasting consequences or judgment.
D. Strangers have more life experience to offer good advice.
13. Why might close relationships prevent honest communication?
A. They lack deep emotional connection.
B. They are not built on a foundation of trust.
C. They require too much time and energy to maintain.
.
D They involve established habitual perception.
.
14 What benefit do strangers bring according to paragraph 3?
A. Timely availability. B. Timely availability. Direct feedback.
C. Agreed opinions. D. Professional guidance.
15. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Why Strangers Often Become Our Trusted Confidants
B. The Importance of Family Ties and Lifelong Friendships
C. The Dangers of Sharing Personal Feelings with Strangers
D. How Online Communities Replace Traditional Social Bonds

Can't Resist Junk Food? Study Suggests You Try This Simple Trick
You're tired and hungry. Then you catch a whiff of something delicious, probably fried and almost certainly
fattening. It is fried chicken!____16____A new research says that exposing to the smell of junk food for at least
two minutes can actually help you make healthier food choices.
Let's take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever appetizing treat catches your
nose's attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? What will happen if you're standing in line
after a couple of minutes?____17____ And recent science says that this is actually the right moment to walk away.
The results of a series of experiments, including field studies at a supermarket and at a middle school cafeteria,
show that extended exposure (of more than two minutes) to junk food smell (e. g,cookie smell) leads to lowerpurchases of unhealthy foods compared with healthy smell (e.g.strawberry smell).____18____That is why long
exposure to junk food smell can be as satisfactory as actually having it in your mouth, which in turn decreases the
desire for consumption of junk food.
____19____When the exposure to smell of healthy food were examined, food choices were not profoundly
influenced. The reason for this is that healthy food are not connected with reward in our brain and therefore have
little influence on what we desire.
So next time you're feeling you don't have the will power to resist that French fries, it might be as simple as
sitting there and smelling all that sweetness for just a minute or two. ____20____
A. But wait a minute before you order.
B. It's a response that has been researched.
C. Get the satisfaction with none of the calories.
D. It isn't quite as irresistible as it was just moments ago.
E. However, it's not the same case with smell of healthy food.
F. It's the same as actually eating it because your desire to eat it is satisfied.
G. The brain doesn't necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell or taste.

A Great Monday
Monday started out well. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last-minute studying for my first hour
math test. I was confident of getting good grades. Then I left my house. Ten minutes later, I got on school bus with
my friends. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, Fat Ryan got on hurriedly. He
tripped (绊倒) over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP! He fell down onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan struggled to his feet, dusted (擦灰) off his jacket
and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment (尴尬).
The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in
English class. It wasn’t long before we heard the lunch bell. I met my friends from the cheerleading (拉拉队) team
in the dining hall. Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away, sitting all alone. He caught me looking. I
smiled at him quickly and looked away.
When we had finished eating, we went out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s
football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one
last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe (脚趾)
touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans broken, in the middle of my backside (臀部).
I froze (呆住). I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw thempointing at my torn jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears begin to well up
in my eyes.
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。
Then I saw Ryan running towards me.
