Passage 1
Humans have evolved (进化) to spend long periods doing physical exercise. But why doesn’t everyone enjoy
exercising? The complexity of the human brain is to blame.
Evolving an ability doesn’t automatically mean we’ll want to use it. While physical exercise isn’t that bad, it’s
still typically unpleasant. It has to be: you’re pushing your body to its physical limits, which leads to significant
discomfort.
Another issue is that the human brain is highly sensitive to wasted effort. Studies have shown that it calculates
the effort required for actions and tends to stop us from squandering vital resources on fruitless efforts, like walking
over 30 km for a handful of berries.
The thing is, regular exercise to get “in shape” requires constant and considerable effort — all for gradual
progress and uncertain rewards. So, your brain’s tendency to ask, “Is it worth it? ” will be hard to quieten. This
particular feature also means we typically prefer things which offer minimum effort for maximum reward.
Thankfully, the human brain is a complex organ. It isn’t ruled by its more primitive drives. While many species’
thought processes are limited to “Food, eat it!”, “Danger, run!”, “Pain, avoid!”, we’ve evolved beyond that. Our
brains can form multiple long-term goals and ambitions. We can imagine a desirable future scenario (情况), figure
out how we’d achieve it, and do just that. Or at least work toward it. This directly impacts how our brain processes
motivation and willpower. It makes us capable of delayed gratification (满足): we can recognize that rejecting a
reward now can lead to a greater reward later, and act accordingly.
So how does the brain process motivation? The self-discrepancy (自我差异) theory suggests we have several
“selves” active in our minds at any given time: our “actual” self, our “ideal” self, and our “ought” self. Your “actual”
self is how you are right now. Your “ideal” self is what you want to be. And your “ought” self is the self that does
what you ought to be doing to become your “ideal” self. So, if your “ideal” self is a professional footballer, and your
“actual” self isn’t, your “ought” self is the one that spends a lot of time training, exercising, and getting better at
football.
As far as your brain is concerned, there are processes that discourage exercise, and processes that encourage it.
Ideally, you’ll end up putting more weight on the latter than the former.
57. What can be learnt from the first two paragraphs?
A. Some people are born physically weaker than others.
B. Some people dislike driving themselves too hard physically.C. Most people have the habit of doing physical exercise.
D. Most people do physical exercise for comfort and pleasure.
58. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 3?
A. Conserving. B. Mixing. C. Misusing. D. Sharing.
59. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4?
A. To raise a question. B. To provide a definition.
C. To make a comparison. D. To further explain a point.
60. According to the author, how are humans different from many other species?
A. Humans are able to picture a favorable future.
B. Humans benefit more from painful experiences.
C. Humans care more about immediate rewards.
D. Humans are skilled at avoiding dangers.
,
61. According to the self-discrepancy theory who presents the most active “ought” self?
A. A footballer dreaming of becoming a movie star.
B. A student eating potato chips while watching TV.
C. A professional dancer performing at a theatre.
D. A swimmer training to win an Olympic medal.
Passage 2
Staring at the bookcases in my study, packed with so many great books that had remained unread, I heard a
loud voice in my head — “Shame on you! How can you leave these masterpieces unread?”
The first book I picked up was Montaigne's Essays. To my surprise I discovered in the margins (页边空白)
what clearly was my own faded hand-writing. So I was actually reading it again, but what I was rereading seemed
entirely new. I also found sentences underlined. Only this time I wondered: Why did I underline this sentence? It's
the next one that is important!
Clearly, my way of reading the text had shifted, and I myself had changed over the years. This raised the larger
question of rereading. It comes in many forms. There’s voluntary rereading, the result of a willful decision to revisit
a book one has admired, or a book that has left one with some unanswered questions. This kind of planned revisit
could also be for confirming certain details in the text, or for checking on the moves of a given character. A devoted
teacher might also wish to refresh his closeness to a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written
notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects.
Contrarily, there’s involuntary rereading. The original reading was either forgotten or so totally absorbed that
the new chance encounter with the text produced surprise and astonishment. My reaction to the renewed reading nolonger corresponded to the original experience, and I was no longer sure that I recognized myself as the same
reader.
Then there are what one might call subconscious (潜意识的) rereadings, those that occur without the specific
act of reading, much as the memory of a tune can keep coming back to the mind without its actually being heard
again. This form of remembered contact with a book can accompany us during a lifetime and continue to strengthen
and shape us. Much in the same manner, we may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago,
which have become part of our self-recognition.
All of these ways of reading are valuable. Renewed contact with a novel or a poem can activate the search for
,
a better knowledge of the self. The new reading a form of revision, uncovers the change in us. The newness is
not in the text. It is we who have evolved. In the process of rereading, our outlook has also been significantly
changed. Rereading makes it possible for us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light.
62. What did the author find when reading Montaigne’s Essays?
A. He still couldn't understand it. B. He had made notes in it.
C. It was a brand new copy. D. It was his favorite work.
63. According to the author, what could be a purpose of voluntary rereading?
A. To improve the quality of teaching. B. To learn from admirable characters.
C. To collect details for writing novels. D. To help making important decisions.
64. According to Paragraph 4, involuntary rereading can bring about?
A. Unexpected reading experience. B. Total concentration on new books.
C. Changed preferences for books. D. Enhanced reading skills.
65. What can be learnt about subconscious rereading?
A. It prevents memory from fading. B. It helps make who we are.
C. It involves actual reading. D. It works best with poetry and music.
66. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Accessing Masterpieces through Rereading B. Rereading: Voluntary or Involuntary?
C. Rereading: Pursuit of Truth D. Transformative Power of Rereading
Passage 3
Our teacher, Miss Chevalier was a small woman, with a moon face, fatty fingers and curls that sprang straight
up from her head, hence the funny name “Poodle (卷毛狗)”. She taught in our reading club. Sometimes she would
look in and ask what we were reading — not to check but to know.
That’s what happened the day my club was reading aloud a poem by Henry Longfellow. I guess I was better
than the others, for Miss Chevalier asked a while later, “Addie, I was wondering if you would recite the wholepoem to the Saturday evening’s club.” She said a famous professor was going to give a lecture about the poet, and a
presentation of that poem would be a fresh way to start.
She asked me to memorize it. “But that shouldn’t be a problem for a child of your ability,” she added. I’m
telling you, my happy feet barely touched the ground all the way home. To me, that was the biggest thing ever and I
soon learned the whole poem by heart, well prepared for our first rehearsal.
I was desperately nervous when I went to her office the next day. But the good thing was she always had the
smile that would make you feel like you just did something right.
Halfway through the poem, Miss Chevalier stopped me and asked if I knew what “impetuous” meant. Despite
her encouraging smile, I wanted to sink through the floor because I was unsure about its pronunciation as well as its
meaning. Miss Chevalier pretended not to have noticed my red face and handed me a dictionary, asking me to read
its definition aloud. “Impetuous has two definitions: rushing with great force or violence; acting suddenly, with
little thought. ”
She asked me which one fitted the poem. I read both definitions over again, trying to figure it out, but Miss
Chevalier must have read my mind. “There is no wrong answer,” she said, “I want to know your opinion, Addie.”
Hesitantly, I said, “Maybe… both.”
She liked that. “One has to be impetuous both ways or they wouldn’t dare to face up to any challenge. Would
you call yourself impetuous?”
I knew she was asking for an opinion. “My mother thinks being impetuous for girls is improper, anyway.”
She said my mom was somewhat right about that. “But girls should also be wise to take up challenges when
needed. I believe you are such a girl.”
After that, I would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again.
67. Why was Addie asked to recite Longfellow’s poem to the Saturday evening’s club?
A. To help with her performance.
B. To get the attention of her classmates.
C. To set an example for the rest of the class.
D. To try a new way to warm up the coming lecture.
68. Why did Addie feel happy on her way home?
A. An event was going to happen.
B. She was fully ready for her first rehearsal.
C. She gained recognition for her performance.
.
D She memorized the poem sooner than others.
69. What can be learned about Miss Chevalier’s personality from the way she treated Addie?A. Caring and considerate. B. Easygoing and carefree.
C. Curious and open-minded. D. Disciplined and strong-willed.
70. How did Miss Chevalier succeed in making Addie truly understand the word “impetuous”?
A. By asking Addie to define it in her own way.
B. By interpreting the two definitions separately.
C. By consulting the dictionary for its definitions.
D. By linking its definitions to Addie’s situations.
71. What is the probable reason that Addie would never call Miss Chevalier “Poodle” again?
A. She followed her mother’s advice. B. She made up her mind to be a polite girl.
C. She was touched by Miss Chevalier’s trust. D. She felt Miss Chevalier’s teaching funny.
Passage 4
Research sometimes proves, with data, what we more or less already know（e. g. Exercise is good for you,
and polluted air isn’t）. Still, sometimes our assumptions are incorrect, and scientific findings surprise researchers,
along with the rest of us. A recent example is the phenomenon of disappearing lakes in parts of the frozen treeless
Arctic（北极的） region.
You might think these lakes would be expanding, not disappearing. As climate change warms the region —
melting（融化）surface snow and ice as well as the permafrost（永冻层）— there should be more surface water,
forming larger lakes and even new ones. Recently, however, scientists have observed not just shrinking（缩小的）
lakes but lakes that have completely gone away.
Many scientists shared the commonsense expectation that as permafrost melted, lakes would at first expand
with meltwater flowing into them. Eventually, researchers made a prediction that progressive warming during the
21st and 22nd centuries would dry out the Arctic, and lakes would begin to shrink. But now it looks as if Arctic
lakes are disappearing a century sooner than predicted. A case in point is that some large, age-old lakes shrank
dramatically in what appears to have been a matter of months. Scientists have labeled this phenomenon “disastrous
lake loss”
What caused this? The frozen solid ground actually contains bits of rock, mineral and organic matter, leaving
spaces in between. And because these spaces are filled with solid ice, liquid water cannot readily get inside, but it
can when the permafrost melts, allowing more water to get through. Soon after that, around 192 lakes in
northwestern Alaska are gone from sight.
Why did scientists miss this? One probable reason is that most climate models assume that the melting of
permafrost is driven only by warming air.
New evidence suggests, however, that rainfall — particularly increasing autumn rain — is now contributingsignificantly to permafrost loss. The rainfall carries heat into the ground. Yet none of the existing models includes
such processes.
That is a good example of why — no matter how complex our models are or may one day be — we need
direct observation of the natural world.
72. What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. General knowledge can at times turn out to be true.
B. Commonsense assumptions can sometimes prove wrong.
C. Research findings should be built on popular assumptions.
D. Scientific research is inspired by an unknown phenomenon.
73. Contrary to the general expectation, climate change has caused ________.
A. a rapid rise of water surface B. the permafrost to melt faster
C. many Arctic lakes to grow larger D. the disappearance of many Arctic lakes
74. The disastrous climatic impacts on the Arctic region have been ________.
A. proved with emerging lakes B. underestimated by scientists
C. well predicted by researchers D. shown elsewhere in the world
75. Why is the frozen Arctic ground hard for water to get through?
A. Because of the solid ice within it.
B. Because of its unique composition.
C. Because it is far away from the waters.
D. Because snow rarely melts on frozen ground.
76. What lesson can we learn from the passage?
A. Direct observation is a must for scientific research.
B. Scientific research is guaranteed by sufficient lab facilities.
C. New evidence should be found to back up research findings.
D. Scientific predictions should be mostly based on research models.

Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked
out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish.
She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets her
reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.
My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, mygrandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency
surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.
About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might
say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my questions.
In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked
her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s? ”
“Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You
have to try. ”
“Try what? ”
“Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little .
Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”
Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue with
her French. “Age is just another bot- her attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually the
world is filled with possibilities,” she once said.

Passage 2

Studies show teaching children how to cook at an early age helps with reading comprehension and fine motor
ability, in addition to learning about nutrition and food safety. In 2015 Stephanie Drewry was looking for a cooking
summer camp for her three children. To her dismay, she quickly realized such a camp didn’t exist.
“I have my degree in education, but I had been staying home with my kids, ” Drewry says. “I love working
with kids, so I just decided to take a spare bedroom and turn it into a one-room cooking school called SproutsCooking School. ”
The school grew in popularity so quickly that Drewry realized she would need more space outside her home
for the classes. In 2017 she moved Sprouts into a 1,400-square-foot storefront (临街店面) in Carmel, Indiana. As
demand grew, Drewry opened another Sprouts in the same area in 2022.
“Our classrooms are built with kids in mind. The worktops (操作台) in the classrooms are slightly lower than
normal to fit in with their height,” Drewry says. “All of the cooking facilities are domestic ones. I wanted to have
them feel like cooking in their own home.”
The school offers activities targeted at kids aged 3 to 13. Younger kids might make cookies while older ones
are cooking soup and meatballs. There are birthday parties and summer camps as well. The fun part of the activities
is that the kids can eat or take home whatever they make. They can also enjoy themselves in the themed classes like
Harry Potter or Winter Wonder-land Baking. With all these activities, the school is extremely popular.
Teaching kids, especially those picky eaters, to cook helps a lot because they’re more willing to eat something
made by themselves. More importantly, it is also about releasing children into the world with a life skill they’ll
need as an adult when they’re no longer in their parents’ care.
