When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns.
In secondary school, art was my favorite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterized as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.
One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colors. Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realized I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.
33. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam
A. Worried. B. Scared. C. Wronged. D. Discouraged.
34. In her 30s, the author _________.
A. fancied abstract painting B. sought for a painting career
C. avoided oil painting practice D. exhibited child paintings
35. Which word would best describe the author’s dream
A. Empowering. B. Confusing.
C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining.
36. What can we learn from this passage
A. Hard work is the mother of success. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident.
C
Demanding days seem designed to test our self-control. We all need to rely on willpower to avoid short-term temptations and override unwanted thoughts or impulses (冲动). The prevailing psychological theory proposed that willpower resembled a kind of battery. With each exercise of self-control, you exhausted this resource. Without a chance to recharge, that resource ran low, making it harder to maintain self-control. This process was known as “ego depletion”.
In 2010, however, psychologist Veronika Job published a study that questioned the foundations of “ego depletion” theory, with some interesting evidence that ego depletion depended on people’s underlying beliefs. In the study, Job divided participants into two categories: those with a “limited” view of willpower and those with a “non-limited” view of willpower, based on a prior questionnaire. She then gave the participants some standard laboratory tests examining mental focus, which was considered to depend on the reserves of willpower. The study found that people with a limited mindset tended to perform exactly as ego depletion theory would predict but the non-limited individuals did not, which indicated that people’s beliefs about willpower could be self-fulfilling prophecies (预言). Those who believed willpower was easily depleted saw their self-control decrease, while those who believed in “mental stamina (耐力)” experienced no ego depletion.
Subsequent debates about the reliability of the laboratory tests of ego depletion emerged, but Job’s work demonstrated that mindset significantly impacted real-life outcomes. Her follow-up study revealed that after completing demanding tasks, most participants recovered to some degree overnight, but those with non-limited mindsets actually experienced an increase in their productivity the following day, as if energized by the extra pressure.
If you already have a non-limited mindset about willpower, these findings might be a cause for self-satisfaction. For those with limited mindsets, hope is not lost. Learning about this science can help shift beliefs. Sharing this knowledge with others can further consolidate this shift. Moreover, recollecting times of engaging in taxing yet enjoyable tasks naturally shifts people’s beliefs toward non-limited mindsets, as they see proof of their own mental stamina. To provide yourself with further evidence, you can conduct small self-control tests. As you realize your willpower’s growth, you’ll find resisting temptations and distractions easier.
While immediate miracles aren’t guaranteed, perseverance will lead to a changed mindset and increased self-control, propelling actions toward personal goals.
37. “Ego depletion” theory shows that willpower ________.
A. is a test of your character B. is like a chargeable battery
C. helps control our impulses D. reduces after exercising self-control
38. What can we learn from Job’s two studies
A. Extra pressure boosts mental focus.
B. Demanding tasks reduce mental focus.
C. Reserves of willpower depend on mental focus.
D. The change of mental focus relies on one’s mindset.
39. Which of the following can build non-limited mindsets
A. Picturing your ideal university. B. Doing homework in front of a TV.
C. Recalling mastering a challenging piano piece. D. Sharing science knowledge with friends.
D Multitasking
People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once, a new research suggests. The findings, based on performances and self-evaluations by about 275 college students, indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and can’t focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu, a psychologist at the University of Utah.
Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked, how good they thought they were at it, and how sensation-seeking (寻求刺激) or impulsive (冲动) they were. They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.
Not surprisingly, the scientists said, most people thought they were better than average at multitasking, and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once. But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test. They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior, which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.
“People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity, but because they’re distractible, and they get sucked into things that are not as important,” Sanbonmatsu said.
Adam Gazzaley, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not a member of the research group, said one limitation of the study was that it couldn’t find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.
The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seekers who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving. “People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations,” said Paul Atchley, another researcher not in the group. “This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they’re dangerous.”
40．The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask _____.
A．seek high productivity constantly
B．prefer handling different things when getting bored
C．are more focused when doing many things at a time
D．have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time
41．When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they _____.
A．assessed the multitasking ability of the students
B．evaluated the academic achievements of the students
C．analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks
D．measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability
42．According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their _____.
A．inability to concentrate on one task B．interests in doing things differently
C．limited power in calculation D．impulsive desire to try new things
43．From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually _____.
A．drive very skillfully B．fail to react quickly to potential dangers
C．go in for difficult tasks D．refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior

If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things.
Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. ___44___ And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at. ___45___ The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies.
___46___ Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that they are less likely to recognize or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions.
The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. ___47___ They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer estimation of what they know and don’t know.
So, which is better The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. ___48___ The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to be that rare mixture known as foxy hedgehog.
A. They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes.
B. In other words, there are clear advantages for each.
C. Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence.
D. However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs.
E. But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing.
F. They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position.
G. When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional.

When people are asked what’s important in their lives, they often mention humor, yet philosophers would disagree.
The first is how little they have said. The most that major philosophers like Plato, Hobbes, and Kant wrote about laughter or humor was a few paragraphs within a discussion of another topic. Martian anthropologists (人类学家) comparing the amount of philosophical writing on humor with what has been written on, say, justice, might well conclude that humor could be left out of human life without much loss.
The second is how negative most philosophers have been in their assessments of humor. From ancient Greece until the 20th century, the vast majority of philosophical comments on laughter and humor focused on scornful (蔑视的) or mocking laughter, or on laughter that overpowers people, rather than on comedy, wit, or joking. Plato, the most influential critic of laughter, treated laughter as an emotion that overrides (凌驾于) rational self-control. He says the guardians of the state should avoid laughter, “for when one abandons himself to violent laughter, his condition causes a violent reaction.”
Another of Plato’s objections to laughter is that it is evil. Plato analyzes the enjoyment of comedy as a form of scorn. The people we laugh at imagine themselves to be wealthier, better looking, or more virtuous than they really are. In laughing at them, we take delight in something evil: their self- ignorance.
Because of these objections to laughter and humor, Plato says that in the ideal state, comedy should be tightly controlled. “We shall order that such representations be left to slaves or hired aliens, and receive no serious consideration whatsoever. No free person, whether woman or man, shall be found taking lessons in them.”
Greek thinkers after Plato had similarly negative comments. Though Aristotle considered wit a valuable part of conversation, he agreed with Plato that laughter expresses scorn. The Stoics, with their emphasis on self-control, agreed with Plato that laughter weakens self-control. Epictetus’s Enchiridion advises “Let not your laughter be loud, frequent, or unrestrained.” His followers said that he never laughed at all.
49. What conclusion do Martian anthropologists make on humor？
50. Why did Plato suggest that the governors of a country should get rid of laughter
51. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
The Stoics also had negative comments on laughter but they emphasized that laughter strengthened self-control.
52. Do you agree with the philosophers’ ideas mentioned in the passage about humor Why or why not (In about 40 words)

微写作范文：
No, I don’t agree with them. While philosophers like Plato saw humor as scornful, I believe humor can unite people, relieve tension and strengthen social bonds, making it essential to our social life. Without it, our connections with others would feel more distant and the joy of shared understanding would fade away. (46w)（正反两方面解释）
No, I don’t agree with them because philosophers like Plato who overly focused on scornful laughter, overlooked the positive aspects of humor in our relationship with others. （先反驳文本观点）
I think the use of humor in social occasions can encourage the brain to produce natural feel-good chemicals, helping to make relationships stronger and foster connection. (46w) （再加课本内容）
No, I don’t agree with them. I think it benefits me physically and mentally.
First, laughter caused by humor can increase blood flow to the heart and improve the function of blood vessels, which helps to protect me from heart disease.
Meanwhile, watching humorous show can encourage the brain to produce natural feel-good chemicals, which relieves my stress and anxiety, helping me live through challenging times easier. (53w) （完全是课本内容，最高3分）

1. 介绍你自己的学习目标
2. 给出学习建议及理由
Dear Jim,
How is everything going I’m so sorry to hear that you feel lost and unmotivated about study. Please know that you're not alone, and I'm here to help.
My learning goal is not just to gain knowledge for exams, but to truly develop my critical thinking skills. Driven by it, I find my study more meaningful and lasting.
To stimulate your interest in learning, I'd like to share some practical suggestions. First, I think you should ask questions. This can not only deepen your understanding, but also help you clarify confusing points and acquire knowledge effectively. Meanwhile, you can discuss topics with friends, as explaining ideas to others strengthens your own understanding and offers new perspectives. Besides, you can try to think outside the box. It can free you from the shadows of conventional thought, allowing you to generate original ideas and unique solutions.
I hope you find these suggestions useful. Remember, progress takes time. I'm confident you'll find your rhythm again soon. (163w)
Yours,
Li Hua
