I was driving when my phone alerted me to a new email. Filled with eager anticipation, I pulled over, turned
on my hazard lights, and opened it. My emotions quickly changed as I learned, for the sixth and final time, that I
had been denied a promotion to full professor. My institution didn’t seem to value what I brought to the table. But
when I told my family that night, my children offered a surprisingly positive response. They were excited to see
what I was going to do next, they said. They apparently knew long before I did that losing my bid for a promotion
would turn out to be the best thing that could have happened for me.
This had been the final step in a long process spanning 15 months and involving so much effort. I had started
by studying successful promotion bids and asking senior scholars for frank discussions about my readiness. I had
carefully prepared my application packet, summarizing everything I had achieved in my career. For more than a
year, I had spent hours every day trying to prove my worth to my university.
To my surprise, having a final answer brought a welcome sense of closure. As a first step toward healing, I
decided to prioritize my own values and follow my own internal compass. I disconnected from people in my life
who violated my values, cultivated my relationships with those who share my priorities and bring out the best in
me, and spent more time with my family. I founded a nonprofit that helps first-generation and low-income students
and young professionals advance in the workforce while serving their community. The initiative had long been a
dream of mine, but I never pursued it because typical academic hiring and promotion don’t reward such efforts.
Now, such considerations were no longer my North Star.
Five months after that email from top leadership, I found myself in the car again, experiencing another career-
defining moment. I may have lost my bid for a big promotion, but in the end, it brought me to the right place.
24．What did the author feel after he read the email?
A．Anxious and annoyed. B．Embarrassed and ashamed.
C．Relieved and peaceful. D．Disappointed and sorrowful.
25．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．What contributions the writer had made.B．What preparations the writer had made.
C．How successful the career had been. D．How tiring the process had been.
26．Which of the following would the writer probably agree with?
A．Success is more than a title or a rank.
B．One’s internal compass is to be developed.
C．Serving the community may heal a broken heart.D．One’s real value first lies in his family interaction.
27．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Emails: my North Star
B．Full professor: a double-edged sword
C．A career setback becomes a great opportunity
D．An academic career witnesses a failed promotion

A comment from Zadie Smith caught my attention this week. Asked whether she had ever considered
recording an album, the novelist responded, “I have a dream of having a Café Carlyle residency in New York in my
80s.” Here she is at the height of her success dreaming of a career Plan B just like the rest of us!
Weird Plan Bs fascinate me because for years I had one of my own. Despite being perfectly happy in my
chosen profession, I had long harboured the fantasy of becoming a photographer and I took a lockdown leap and
applied to art school to acquire some actual skills.
Has it brought me fame and riches? Not as yet. Like many people who dream of having a go at something
different, I was focusing on creative fulfilment rather than my future finances. By the time I graduated in 2022, my
dream of running a portrait photography business was looking a lot less practicable—in part thanks to AI head-shot
generators.
If only I had had a little more Fobo, also known as the fear of becoming out-of-date. This workplace trend is
an updated version of Fomo—the fear of missing out, which now feels like a poignant (辛酸的) throwback to more
optimistic times. 22% of workers are worried that technology will put them out of a job. And who can blame them?
There is another reason that nurturing an alterative career might be risky. Research indicates that having a
back-up plan can work against you. Having a Plan B as a safety net can cause people to make less effort at their day
job and — unhelpfully — run a greater risk of losing it.
So, do I regret pursuing my Plan B? Not at all — hopefully I’ve got a few years before robot photographers
take over the world, and I currently spend a day a week on photography. My only sorrow is something unexpected.
For so many years. I had the fantasy of trying something new. My “someday” ambition sustained me through dull
and boring days. But now I’m actually spending some of my week doing it, which has caused empty space in my
life. It made me realize that having an alternative career to dream about is in itself sustaining and comforting. You
might never do it, and that might not even matter. So, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go and start working on my
Plan C．..
28．Why did Zadie Smith want to have a Cafe Carlyle residency?
A．She was not satisfied with her writing career.B．She was eager to take up a second career.
C．She was depressed by recording an album.
D．She was unable to reach the height of success.
29．What do you know about the author’s plan B?
A．She was a skilled photographer who graduated from an art school.
B．She gave up her chosen occupation because of lockdown.
C．She gained a sense of creative satisfaction instead of income.
D．She ran a photography business with the assistance of AI.
30．Why did the author mention the concepts of Fobo and Fomo in paragraph 4?
A．To explain why workers are eager to do plan
B．To introduce one of the disadvantages to do plan B．
C．To advocate the society’s acceptance of plan B．
D．To display the future of trend of the workforce.
31．What’s the author’s “only sorrow” according to the last paragraph?
A．She will be replaced by robot photographer in the future.
B．She can’t spare time to do photography professionally.
C．She hates the dull and boring days in doing photography.
D．She lost something new to excite some enthusiasm for life.

Imagine you’re out for an evening stroll (闲逛) in a foreign city, looking to find a restaurant for dinner. You
will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect on the quality of
food and service. But is this true?
In tourist areas, which lack regular, local customers, the number of diners is unlikely to hold information about
the quality of the meal. In this case, following the example of others could have led to a sub-optimal (次佳的)
dinner choice in an overcrowded restaurant.
Spontaneously (不由自主地) copying other people’s thoughts or choices or simply going with the crowd is
often referred to as “Herd behaviors”. It is a frequent occurrence among humans as well as many other animals, a
common example being sheep.
Herding can appear to make a lot of sense. Average judgements of large groups of people often outperform
individual choices. Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer protection and comfort — after all, there’s
“safety in numbers” — while helping to maintain a favourable reputation. Finally, following the herd reduces the
effort needed to make a personal or unique decision.Herd behaviors, while common and easy to explain, can have many harmful effects. Blindly following the
herd can have grave consequences when trying to escape from danger. As seen in examples during earthquakes,
herding may result in the entire crowd rushing for the same door, even if other exits are available. This unavoidably
affects evacuation (撤退) efforts and may result in avoidable injuries or even deaths.
Psychology research suggests that it’s surprisingly difficult to resist the influences of the herd. In an
experiment involving financial decision making, researchers found that warning messages about the potential errors
of the crowd were surprisingly ineffective in helping customers make better choices. It appears there is no quick
and easy fix. Instead, it is advisable to involve individuals adopting more critical approaches towards peers’
opinion, and questioning others’ behaviors as opposed to blindly following them.
32．What does the author want to tell us by the restaurant example?
A．Undesirable outcomes of herding, B．Wise dinner choices of most customers.
C．Practical ways of avoiding herding. D．Poor conditions of popular dining places.
33．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about herding?
A．Its application. B．Its disadvantages.
C．Its definition. D．Its benefits.
34．What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph?
A．Send warning messages. B．Follow peers’ opinions.
C．Stop behaving critically. D．Have our own judgments.
35．Which is the best title for the text?
A．Why can’t you find the reasons for herding?
B．Why shouldn’t you follow the crowd blindly?
C．When should you avoid influences of herding?
D．How can you discover wisdom of crowds?

Why Cooking Meals at Home Benefits More Than Just Your Wallet
When hunger strikes, the convenience of entering a fast-food restaurant or ordering takeout can be terribly
attractive. 36 However, when it becomes a routine, your waistline, your wallet and your health can be
badly affected. Here are four reasons to make cooking at home your option.
· It’s cheaper.
You could spend $100 at a fancy restaurant for one dinner, while the same amount of money could buy yougroceries for a week. When you shop smart and get creative, you needn’t spend more than $1 on breakfast, $2 on
lunch and $4 on dinner to purchase wholesome, healthy foods. Here’s how: 37
· It may reduce your exposure to certain chemicals.
The most surprising benefit of cooking at home can decrease the amount of harmful chemicals you’re exposed
to. 38 Common in takeout and fast-food packaging, those chemicals have been associated with many
diseases. Food packaging can also contain other damaging compounds (化合物).
·You can better estimate calories.
39 That is why people tend to consume extra calories when dining away from home. On the
contrary, you have complete control over the food materials when you cook in your own kitchen. Choosing fiber-
packed vegetables and meat containing less fat will help keep your calories under control. So will the way you cook
your food. Rather than frying, choose roasting.
· 40
Many chefs use a lot of salt while cooking. While salt can make food tastier, too much of it is linked to serious
health issues like heart disease and high blood pressure. At home, you can control the quantity of salt on your plate
by seasoning food in other ways, like using lemon juice. The same goes for sugar. You can use smaller quantities of
natural sweeteners like honey to add sweetness to your food. Too much added sugar is linked to some diseases as
well.
A．You can reduce added salt and sugar.
B．Eating out can make calorie counting tricky.
C．Buy in large quantities and stick to store-brand items.
D．Salt and sugar are both essentials in cooking delicious foods.
E．Relying on food away from home occasionally is totally acceptable.
F．People are always too engaged in their work to cook at home personally.
G．People cooking at home have lower levels of dangerous chemicals in their bodies.

Girls are better at reading and writing than boys as early as fourth grade, according to a study, and the gap
continues to widen until senior year.
Scientists generally agree that boys and girls are psychologically more alike than they are different. But
reading seems to be a(n) 41 , with growing evidence suggesting a similar 42 in writing. Thestudy, published in the journal American Psychologist, provided further 43 to support this view.
David Reilly, lead author of the study, said the study 44 the commonly held view that boys and girls
start grade school with the same cognitive abilities. “It appears that the gender gap for writing tasks has been
greatly 45 , and despite our best efforts with changes in teaching methods, that does not appear to be 46
over time,” he said.
Factors explaining the results could include learning 47 being more prevalent among boys; the
pressure to conform to masculine (男子汉的) ideals and the idea of reading and language being feminine (女性的);
and slight 48 in how boys and girls use their brain hemispheres (半球), the authors believe.
To investigate how 49 levels differed between boys and girls in the U.S., the team studied data
collected over three decades in the National Assessment of Educational Progress. This database of test scores on
over 3 million students in the fourth, eighth, and twelfth grades 50 national and state performances in a
range of subjects, and considered such variables such as disabilities or whether children were English learners.
Reading and writing was 51 according to children’s understanding of a range of different passages and
genres.
52 , girls were found to perform significantly better in reading and writing tests by fourth grade when
compared with boys of the same age. As children progressed to eighth and twelfth grades, girls continued to 53
boys, but the difference was more noticeable in writing than reading. But what caused this difference in abilities?
Evidence suggests 54 problems, such as being disruptive（扰乱性的） in class or being aggressive
could be linked to neurological conditions. What is known as lateralization (偏侧化) could also play a role. Boys
are believed to use one hemisphere when reading or writing, while girls appear to use both. The data did not,
however, provide evidence to argue 55 the two genders having different learning styles.

67．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 chilly Friday night, and I had just returned from climbing one of the red rocks of Sedona. My father
telephoned me as I walked through the arches to my dorm room and told me that my mother had been in a terrible
car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit (重症监护病房) of a nearby hospital.
When I got to the hospital, my father led me down a wide hallway with machines all around. A strong smell of
medicine brought a sick feeling to my already tuning stomach. As I turned into my mother’s ward, the cadaverous
(形容枯槁的) condition of her body shocked me. Her face had swollen, her eyes had huge dark bruise, and she had
tubes down her throat and in her arms. Gently holding her cold swollen hands, I said “hi” in a calm voice,
controlling my urge to cry out.
She kept looking at me as she pounded her hand against the bed, looking painful. I turned my face away from
her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my
mother.
From that night on, my life completely changed. Up to that point, I’d had the luxury of just being a kid, having
to deal with only the exaggerated melodramas of teenage life. As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to
relearn to walk, my sense of priorities changed sharply. My mother needed me. The trials and trouble of my daily
life at school, which had seemed so important before, now appeared insignificant. My mother and I had faced death
together, and life took on a new meaning for both of us.
After a week of treatment in intensive care, my mother’s condition improved enough to be moved to a regular
hospital ward. She was finally out of danger but, because her legs had been crushed, there was doubt whether shewould be able to walk again. I was just grateful that she was alive. Two months later, a sort of hospital suite was set
up in our family room, and she was allowed to come home.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：

My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me.
