Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day，Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.”
Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.
24. Why did Kristin Schell start the movement
A. To host more parties in her front yard. B. To entertain her friends and neighbors.
C. To engage with people in the neighbourhood. D. To create harmonious communities worldwide.
25. Which of the following words best describe Kristin Schell according to the text
A. Creative and sociable. B. Friendly and humorous.
C. Generous and ambitious. D. Cautious and responsible.
26. What can be inferred from the text
A. People don’t like others to step into their houses.
B. The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.
C. Kristin Schell bought the turquoise table to host a party.
D. People feel unwilling to join in the front yard chat at first.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Love Your Neighbors B. An Amazing Woman
C. Happy Front Yard Time D. Tables Where All Are Welcome
C
When was the last time you ate and only focused on eating Many of us eat while working, fiddling with our smartphones or on the go. Distracted eating, as it is termed in scientific literature, coincides with greater flexibility in where we can eat our food and the accessibility of distractions. As a result, "you get this weird blend of different activities. They're no longer fixed to certain places and times," said Lotte van Dillen, a professor of social psychology at Leiden University. "You can do everything anywhere at any moment. That's not good."
When van Dillen and her colleagues conducted studies of large, representative samples of people in the Netherlands, they found a "surprisingly consistent" result: Roughly 70 to 75 percent of the time, people are distracted and doing something else when they eat.
Distracted eating could have adverse （不利的) health consequences. Studies show that when we are distracted, we tend to eat more. And when we are done eating, we are more likely to eat again sooner. In turn, regular distracted eating is associated with weight gain.
At the same time, distractions prevent us from fully tasting or enjoying what we are eating by disrupting signals in our brain. Despite eating more, "it's kind of tragic that you're not enjoying it so much," van Dillen said.
When we eat, our guts（肠道）getting full, a process which takes about 20 minutes. But being distracted makes it harder to release satiety hormones that signal to our brains that we are experience these satiety signals. Distractions add cognitive load to our brains that competes with and reduces our ability to sense not only the amount of food and how full we are getting, but also its taste.
In an early experiment from a 2013 study, van Dillen and her colleagues had 42 participants sweeten their own lemonade with sugary syrup to taste. Some were distracted by an easy cognitive task (memorizing a one-digit number), while others had a harder one (memorizing a seven-digit number). Those challenged with the harder mental task added a whopping 50 percent more of the sugary syrup but did not report their drink as sweeter than participants doing the easier mental task.
In a follow-up 2023 study published in the journal Appetite, van Dillen and her colleagues put 46 participants in an FMRI brain scanner and fed them sugar water of different sweetness levels through a bundle of tubes. When participants had a more challenging cognitive task, they rated the strong sugar solution as less sweet than when the task was easy. In short, distractions have a "sledgehammer effect" on our senses, van Dillen said.
In a 2024 study, van Dillen and her colleagues found evidence that distractions cause otherwise enjoyable activities such as eating a snack, reading a novel or watching TV, to feel less enjoyable than we expected. Feeling underwhelmed, we are more likely to overconsume to make up for this shortfall in enjoyment, engaging in what researchers call "hedonic(快乐的) compensation."
28. Which of the following behaviors can be considered as "distracted eating"
A. You eat dinner at a fixed place and time.
B. You eat snacks while working on your essay.
C. You have breakfast in a relaxing environment.
D. You have lunch at school without doing anything else.
29. What can we know about "satiety hormones" from paragraph 5
A. They make distractions. B. They stimulate appetite.
C. They add cognitive load. D. They send satiety signals.
30. How did van Dillen and her colleagues carry out their experiments
A. By conducting interviews. B. By testing effectiveness.
C. By making comparisons. D. By distributing surveys.
31. What can we learn from the studies
A. Distracted eating prompts us to taste more flavors.
B. Fully experiencing the food can help us better enjoy it.
C. Distractions fail to change how the brain processes taste.
D. The food will be tasteless if we choose to do harder work.
D
Amid mounting global plastic pollution--a crisis worsened by 400 million tons of annual waste, 46% of which are single-use PET plastics--researchers have engineered PETase Plus, a bioengineered enzyme (酶) capable of degrading PET polymers(聚合物)90% faster than natural enzymes. Published in Nature Biotechnology, this breakthrough, achieved through multinational cooperation, could redefine waste management by transforming non-recyclable plastics into reusable raw materials. Yet, its significance extends far beyond laboratories, sparking heated debates among scientists, policymakers, and environmentalists.
Unlike conventional recycling, which demands energy-intensive processes (exceeding 250℃) to melt plastics and produces useless materials, PETase Plus operates under mild conditions. By degrading PET's molecular bonds, it breaks down plastics into base components that can be re-integrated into high-quality products or even biofuels. According to Dr. Liam Harper, lead author of the study, “This method cuts energy consumption by 60% and carbon emissions by 80%, offering industries a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods."
However, critics caution against unchecked optimism. While PETase Plus excels in controlled lab environments, applying it for industrial or environmental use risks unintended ecological harm. Dr. Emily Carter, a biochemist, warns, “Engineered enzymes released into landfills or oceans might also degrade natural polymers, destabilizing soil structures or marine ecosystems. Without proper restrictions, the solution to plastic waste could become an ecological disaster,”
Ethical conflicts further complicate its adoption. Environmental advocates insist plastic manufacturers--responsible for 70% of global PET production--should fund large-scale application of the technology. However, industry leaders argue that governments must provide financial support to encourage innovation. Meanwhile, developing nations, where waste management system is underdeveloped, view PETase Plus as a potential lifeline, though fears spread that wealthy countries might not share the technology.
As research advances, PETase Plus is facing a challenge: a scientific success shadowed by ethical and ecological dilemmas. Its success relies not merely on biochemical efficiency but on multi-party cooperation to balance innovation with caring for our planet.
32. According to paragraph 2, what is one advantage of PETase Plus over traditional recycling methods
A. It functions effectively at relatively low temperatures.
B. It produces biofuels straight from plastic waste.
C. It removes the need for industrial funding.
D. It reduces the cost by 60%.
33. What concern do critics emphasize about PETase Plus
A. Its funding resource is still not clear. B. It may disturb natural ecosystems.
C. It requires expensive lab equipment. D. Its mechanism is not yet understood.
34. Why does the author quote Dr. Emily Carter
A. To stress the necessity for ecological regulations.
B. To question the enzyme's degradation efficiency.
C. To advocate for industry-led innovation.
D. To highlight the technical limitations of PETase Plus.
35. What can be a possible result of the future application of PETase Plus
A. Developing nations will reject the technology due to high costs.
B. Ethical conflicts might prevent its widespread application.
C. Governments will cease funding traditional recycling.
D. Ecological risks will be removed.
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Anxiety does not cause bad results in exams. Yet it is the preparing periods that do.
___36___. The silence of the hall; the ticking of the clock; the sharp eyes of the teacher; the proud expression of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. Therefore, it seems hardly surprising that those who worry about taking tests do systematically worse than those who do not.
What is, perhaps, surprising, according to research published recently in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald at the Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education and her colleagues, is that it is not the pressure of the exam hall that causes the problem. ___37___.
Dr. Theobald once supposed that if anxiety was truly affecting a student’s ability to transfer known information from brain to paper via pen, then those with high levels of it would perform worse in a real exam than in a mock (模拟的) exam. 38 . Anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What did predict the performance was the level of knowledge a student displayed in the mock exam. ___39___, regardless of how anxious they were on the day.
What actually influenced students, it turned out, were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period. 40 .
To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a two-fold strategy for students. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can decrease the significance of the test in their hearts.
A. All people do not like exams
B. Instead, it is the pressure of revision
C. The findings of the research support such a view
D. Those who performed well in it also did well in the real thing
E. Exams are anxiety-causing, especially for those who are easy to get anxious
F. However, what Dr. Theobald found in the research was not what she expected
G. This is a positive discovery, suggesting a change of approach might help improve their results

阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Did you write your thank-you notes ” I asked my son Jon.
“No, not yet, Mom,” Jon replied, rolling his eyes.
He promised to do it when he got back from Kim's house. However, I demanded that he not leave the house until he finished writing a note to everyone he came in contact with during the job interview.
“Even the receptionist who was rude to me ” Jon asked with a confused expression.
“Especially her!”
Jon was home on Christmas break from college and had just finished interviewing with his first-choice company in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a rare opportunity considering that jobs were in short supply.
The power of a thank-you note is something I drilled into my boy from the time he was old enough to hold a pencil. It didn't matter if it was for a birthday, Christmas or graduation. Every gift had to be acknowledged with sincere gratitude within twenty-four hours.
Growing up, my mom was a stickler for thank-you notes. But she phrased it in such a way that it came across not as a threat but as a privilege. She'd say, “Your words of sincere gratitude have the power to change someone's life for the better—even if it's just for a moment.” Her advice changed my life, and it was my hope that it would change Jon's life as well.
After an hour, Jon emerged from his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt, even the one to the receptionist who had been less than friendly. Before Jon left to visit Kim, he turned to me and announced that he was pretty sure a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist wasn't going to land him the job. With a smile, I told him to wait and see.
Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn't want him living in our basement for the rest of his life!
注意:
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
A week later, Jon received a call from the company.

【原文】Thanks, everyone. I’m Sam Anderson. I’m so thankful for being part of this student body. Students in our school come from different cultures and different backgrounds. It has been a definite advantage for us to exchange ideas and cultures easily. That also made us outstanding and different to other schools. However, at Singapore international school, we have decreasing scores in science math and writing — subjects in which we once led the nation. So it’s a question for the student body and teaching staff. Our biggest issue is the decreased funding for school materials and facilities. Without modern technology and updated textbook, there’s no wonder that our student body is falling behind. As your student body President, I promised to bring back school fundraisers, car wash events, and school clothing sales. Anything we can do to increase the money available for our school will aid in our success and improvement. Thanks my friends. And remember to pick Sam Anderson for a richer future. Next, please welcome Mr. Shang from the geography department back to the stage, followed by a few closing words from our head teacher, Miss Suu.

Good morning, everyone! I am Li Hua. It has been my privilege to serve as the President of the International Student Arts Society for the past year and I would like to share a few thoughts with you.
I can still remember the diverse activities we organized together. Whether it was the vibrant cultural festivals, attractive art exhibitions, or thrilling performances, our team has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent and dedication. As the President, I have been deeply moved by our unity. We learned to appreciate others’ differences and worked together for shared goals.
As I step down from this role, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes to every member of you. May you carry forward our finest traditions while boldly innovating. Thank you!

I watched him, my heart pounding. As he continued to speak, his face lit up with an excited smile. When he hung up the phone, he turned to me, eyes shining. He told me that they were really impressed with his interview, but what really stood out were the thank-you notes. The CEO mentioned that he was touched by the notes and appreciated the effort Jon put into thanking everyone, including the receptionist. I felt a rush of pride and relief. I knew it would work.
The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. Surprised, I picked it up, unfolded it, and was greeted with Jon’s familiar handwriting. It was a thank-you note from Jon. He thanked me for pushing him to do his best and for teaching him the importance of gratitude, which had truly changed his life. As I read the note, tears welled up in my eyes. I had always believed in the power of gratitude and a thank-you note, but seeing it come full circle like this was more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. Jon was not only succeeding in his career but also growing into a thoughtful and compassionate man. And that was the greatest gift of all.
