B
I went into our laboratory feeling depressed. For months, I had been trying to recycle some of our laboratory's plastic waste into 3D-printed laboratory tools, but it wasn't going well. My colleagues suggested thinking about how to avoid having so much plastic waste in the first place, which boosted my spirits and led to a series of changes in how we operate in the laboratory.
I raised the idea of creating 3D-printed laboratory tools out of some of our waste, but it was also tricky to get the recycled . material into a consistent shape that could be fed into the 3D printer. After months of struggling, I feared that my vision might not live up to my expectations, so it was really a welcome relief when my colleagues were eager to brainstorm other ways to reduce our environmental footprint.
We decided to create a group sticking to pushing for "greener" ways to operate, inviting researchers in other laboratories at our institution as well as our own. Over the following months, we launched a series of initiatives that we feel have made a difference. We introduced new recycling bins to each laboratory, designed ways to reduce our use of plastic items and purchased meters to track the energy consumption of various pieces of laboratory equipment. That helped us create rules for each device, which we outlined on stickers: "Turn me off at the end of the day," "Never turn me off," or "Turn me off if empty or not in use." We also increased the temperature of several low-temperature freezers after realizing some samples didn't have to be stored so cold.
I'm still disappointed that I was not able to fully realize my 3D-printing vision, and I am committed enough to keep trying. But I've also learned that if one approach isn't working, sometimes it's best to take a step back and look for other solutions. I'm thankful that with the help of the academic community around me, we were able to do that.

Retirees are always working on a 1,000-piece puzzle or two at Utah's Springville Senior Center. The tradition goes back more than six decades, when the community gathering spot for seniors opened in 1962.
About a year and a half ago, a dozen regulars stepped things up and completed a 5,000-piece Disney puzzle, which is when senior center director Tori Eaton decided to buy the biggest puzzle—a 60,000-piece puzzle called "What a Wonderful World", and immediately she ordered it. Over the next four months, about 50 seniors spent four hours a day piecing together 60 different 1,000-piece puzzle sections featuring a world map and 187 images of artwork. After the 60 puzzles were combined into one piece of art spread across 16 tables, the senior center put it on display for the public.
Numerous studies have shown that puzzle-building helps with mental health, particularly in seniors, according to the National Institutes of Health. Bending over a table for 300 hours helped to build a sense of achievement and everyone felt enormous pride in finishing it, Eaton said. "Another great thing was that we can get people out of their houses to enjoy some fun companionship. Lonelines s is a terrible thing for older people. Getting together to work for a couple of hours on a puzzle can make a huge difference."
Ruth Nielsen is among those who stopped by the center to help put the large puzzle together. "I really liked the feeling of commitment and there was a feeling of community spirit in putting all those tiny pieces together into something beautiful," said Nielsen, 73.
After the last piece was eased into place, everyone took photos and admired the puzzle for about three weeks, and then it was time for the next project: taking it apart. Eat on said they decided to lend the puzzle to another Utah senior center, so its members could enjoy the same feelings of achievement and togetherness. "I didn't want to have to glue it all together and hang it up," she said. "That would definitely be too much of a project."
8. What motivated Eaton to buy the biggest puzzle
A. The advice of center visitors.
B. The success of a huge puzzle.
C. The. creation of a larger puzzle.
D. The increase of senior members.
9. What advantage does puzzle-building have according to Paragraph 3
A. It promotes independence.
B. It encourages competition.
C. It improves seniors' memory.
D. It relieves seniors' loneliness.
10. What is the author's purpose in mentioning Rut h Nielsen
A. To present a problem.
B. To support a finding.
C. To introduce a method.
D. To make a comparison.
11. What can we learn about the puzzle from the last paragraph
A. It was well received.
B. It was urgently needed.
C. It cost an arm and a leg.
D. It required to be replaced.
D
Our brains are "programmed" to learn more from people we like—and less from those we dislike. This has been shown by researchers in cognitive neuroscience （认知神经科学） in a series of experiments.
Memory serves a vital function, enabling us to learn from new experiences and update existing knowledge. We learn both from individual experiences and from connecting them to draw new conclusions about the world. This way, we can make inferences about things that we don't necessarily have direct experience of. This is called memory integration and makes learning quick and flexible.
To examine what affects our ability to learn and make inferences, Ines Bramao, associate professor of psychology at Lund University, along with his co-workers, set up experiments where participants were tasked with remembering and connecting different objects. It could be a bowl, ball, spoon, scissors, or other everyday objects. It turned out that memory integration was influenced by who presented it. If it was a person the participant liked, connecting the information was easier compared to when the information came from someone the participant disliked. The participants provided individual definitions of 'like' and 'dislike' based on aspects such as political views, majors, eating habits, favorite sports, hobbies, and music.
The findings can be applied in real life, according to the researchers. Ines explained: “Suppose a politician argues for raising taxes to benefit healthcare. Later, you visit a healthcare center and notice improvements have been made. If you side with the politician that wanted to improve healthcare through higher taxes, you're likely to credit the improvements to the tax increase, even though the improvements might have had a completely different cause.”
There's already vast research describing that people learn information differently depending on the source and how that characterizes polarization and knowledge resistance. "What our research shows is how these significant phenomena can partly be traced back to fundamental principles that govern how our memory works," says Ines. We tend to form new connections and update knowledge from information presented by groups we favor.
12. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "programmed" in Paragraph 1
A. Enhanced. B. Organized. C. Desire-driven. D. Nature-decided.
13. What did the experiments in Paragraph 3 conclude
A. It's easier to absorb favorable information.
B. It's beneficial to focus on everyday objects.
C. Presenters matter in connecting information.
D. Life experiences affect people's inferences.
14. How did Ines explain the application of his findings
A. By introducing a concept.
B. By making an assumption.
C. By employing an expert's words.
D. By referring to another experiment.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How brains function in learning
B. Who impacts memory integration
C. How brains learn from experiences
D. What improves long-term memory

Look at this as a chance for a fresh start. You can pursue new dreams or make a long-wished-for switch in your situation. The future is unwritten.
Your struggles and pain have given you understanding for what others may be going through in their own lives.

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。
Rich Danieu, a man awaiting a heart transplant（移植）, had to stay in Strong Hospital in Rochester, New York, since January. His days were filled with uncertainty, medical procedures, and a longing to be with his family. The slim hope of getting cured had almost driven Danieu's mood down to the ground. He was close to giving up. What's worse, he was frustrated at the thought of missing a crucial event: his 5-year-old daughter Mara's school's father-daughter dance.
Shortly after Danieu's arrival at the hospital, Mara had excitedly shared the news of her school's upcoming father-daughter dance. She had been eagerly looking forward to her father's participation. But Danieu's illness had kept him away from his daughter's joyous event. As the day of the dance drew near, Mara's excitement began to be replaced by a deep sadness. "My daughter was a little upset, for I couldn't go with her," Danieu said to a nurse with a heavy heart.
Mara's grandfather stepped in to take her to the dance, hoping to make the evening special for her. They both got dressed up, arrived at the school hall, and even had a beautiful photo taken. However, for Mara, something was wrong, because she noticed everybody else was with their dads. Excitement gave way to disappointment. On their way home, Mara was walking silently, without saying a word, when her grandfather received a call from the hospital.
The nurses at Strong Hospital had been closely following the family's story. Having witnessed what Danieu was experiencing due to missing such a crucial moment in his daughter's life, they decided to do something. They knew they couldn't make a big change, but they could certainly create a moment of magic. On the night of the dance, with delicate care, they transformed an empty hospital room into a magic al dance floor, complete with twinkling lights and soft music playing in the background.
At the same time, Danieu lay in his hospital bed, a sense of disappointment at his heart. When he was gazing out the window, a nurse came in with a warm smile.
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。
Led to the room, Danieu didn't know what awaited him. That special dance brought great strength and hope to Danieu.
