I used to hate old books. When I say “old books”, I don’t mean classics, though. I mean books with yellow
pages, broken spines (书脊) and odd wood-like smells that you need to be careful not to break because they are
already so worn down and bring you severe discomfort. One can assume that I didn’t own many old books. I had
merely a few here and there that my parents had gifted me, but nothing too special.
In the fourth grade, I was ready to explore a new world of reading, one that went beyond the likes of children’s
chapter books and teenagers’ topics. Just then, I found my parents’ old copies of the entire Harry Portter book series.
Visually, my parents’ books were my worst nightmare. I remember thinking to myself that there was no way I would公众号：云儿和花
be able to read these books. However. I eventually had to accept the fact that if I wanted to read the series. I would
have to read my parents’ copies. So I began the terrible journey of reading seven old books.
When it was time for me to read the final copy, I was kind of a changed woman. I still strongly disliked old
books, but the plot of the entire Harry Potter series had attracted me so much that I had almost entirely forgotten what
the books looked like.
Now, I love old books. While the covers are sometimes so worn down that you can barely read the title of the
book, you can understand what it’s about anyway. After all, an old book is a representation of generations of readers
who have chosen to live in a specific fictional world because the story it contains is just that good. Old books have
meaning and I love how much they mean to me now.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She felt uneasy about owning old books.
B. She had a bad relationship with her parents.
C. She was passionate for reading classics.
D. She was often gifted old books by her parents.
5. How did the author feel when seeing her parents’ Harry Potter series in the fourth grade?
A. Confused. B. Inspired. C. Discouraged. D. Astonished.
6. What does the author mean by saying “I was kind of a changed woman” in paragraph 3?
A. She started to enjoy reading fictional books.
B. She began to ignore the appearance of the books.
C. She accepted putting old books on her shelf.
D. She figured out what she truly wanted to read.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. My Passion for Reading
B. My Connection with Parents via Old Books
C. My Encounter with the Harry Potter Series
D. My Journey with Old Books

When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their faces look like pure joy. Across the
world, customers stream into their favorite spots to meet with friends and enjoy these tasty drinks.
In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the
industry were concerned: with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea
companies? This was the question that Serenitea, a Manila-based milk-tea company faced in 2014. While successfully公众号：云儿和花
opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog.
Unsure of what consumers, truly felt towards the drink, they offered as many flavors as possible. They also had
no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed
nearly identical to their competitor. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate (引起
共鸣)?
Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the
deep consumer “why”. The agency; conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they
investigated the consumer’s deeper emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories
of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea led to three consistent psychological responses.
People were connected to milk through the concept of nurturing (养育); they fondly remembered their childhood
and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would
recall receiving tea when they had indigestion (消化不良) problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for
health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had
uncovered the three psychological benefits of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set
of insights was crucial. By including them into the core of their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path.
8. What do the underlined words “earned a foothold” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Made an adjustment. B. Won a position.
C. Lost the initiative. D. Achieved a breakthrough.
9. What was Serenitea’s main concern in 2014?
A. Being confused with other brands.
B. The rapid growth of milk tea brands
C. The possibility of milk tea catching on.
D. Falling behind the changing consumer tastes.
10. What does CIA Bootleg Manila specialize in?
A. Product packaging design. B. Market expansion strategies.
C. Analysis of customer psychology D. Flavor innovation and development.
11. Which of the following was a finding of the research?
A. Milk tea was popular among patients.
B. Customers found all milk tea identical.
C. Customers associated milk tea with health.
D. Milk tea brands ignored consumers’ feelings.

As the saying goes practice makes perfect. While it may sound like good advice, it’s not the best or fastest path
because practice can only get you so far, says Scott Young, author of Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for
Mastery.
“Practice is not a cure- all.” Young explains. “It doesn’t necessarily improve your skills but rather makes them
more automatic and fluent.” In his book, Young clarifies this concept with the game Tetris where players fit falling
blocks to complete lines. The more you practice the faster and more accurate you become at placing the blocks.
However, simply practicing doesn’t guarantee higher scores. To reach higher proficiency (精通度), one must go
beyond repetitive practice and use the correct techniques.
Young said, “It’s important to do the correct technique from the beginning. That’s why piano teachers and tennis
coaches prefer to train someone who has had no experience rather than someone who has had a lot of experience. By
starting with the correct techniques, beginners can grasp skills more quickly. Without established habits to break, they
are more likely to build a strong base for long- term improvement.”
Malcolm Gladwell popularized the 10,000- hour rule in his book Outliers: The Story of Success, suggesting that
proficiency in any field requires about 10,000 hours of practice. Yet Anders Ericsson, whose research was a big
inspiration for this concept, disagreed. He argued for the idea of deliberate practice, which was not just practice but
practice under the guidance with immediate feedback ( 反馈 ) about your performance. He stressed that learning from
outcomes through corrective feedback is essential for developing true proficiency, otherwise you just spend time
getting fluency and confidence.
Getting high- quality feedback will depend on how you ask for it. Simply asking someone “What do you think?”
is not enough. “There’s just no way in our social network that someone could give you really honest feedback and
not cause harm to the relationship,” Young says. Instead, he suggests asking, “It you were going to make this better,
what would you do?” By asking how to improve it, we shift the focus from judgment to practical steps for addressing
any concerns.
12. What idea does Scott Young put forward in his book?
A. High scores need consistent practice.
B. Fluency comes from regular practice.
C. Right skills don’t guarantee success.
D. Practice may not ensure excellence.
13. Why did Young mention piano teachers and tennis coaches in paragraph 3?
A. To introduce a new idea.
B. To make a comparison.公众.号：云儿和花
C To illustrate a point.
D. To confirm a guess
14. What does Anders Ericsson advocate?
A. Practicing under effective guidance.
B. Increasing the frequency of practice.
C. Enhancing the fluency of performance.
D. Getting confident from positive feedback.
15. What is a better way to ask for feedback in Young’s opinion?
A. Turning to strangers for help.
B. Not expecting honest response.
C. Asking for ways of improving.
D. Preparing for any judgment.

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。
Many years ago, my father, who was 80 at that time, arrived for his regular two-week visit at my home in Karachi
He lived with my elder brother in Lahore most of the time and for ten years had stuck to his habit of going for an-
hour-long morning walk to keep fit, In Naturally, he was keen to continue his morning walk while with us in
Karachi.
Our preferred park is a 2km walk from my house and it has a 1km walking track. I could not drive him there
every day as I had to leave for the office while at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there were hardly any
footpaths in Karachi, my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much
traffic in the morning.
Though I kept him informed that our house was near the park and was made of red bricks in case he got lost, I
was still less confident so I suggested it would be safer if changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could
take him to the park after work. However, my father — a determined person — said that he could not change his
routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am.
So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa phoned me in a panic Worried, I immediately drove
home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk.
Not spotting him anywhere, I drove back to the park, in the hone of discovering some trace, but in vain. Totally at
a loss for what to do next, I returned home and waited impatiently, walking back and forth in the house.
