Consciousness (意识) rises slowly, awakening with the dawn that brightens my room. Cool air clears my mind as I walk to the kitchen, where my husband is making his morning coffee. The fire he thoughtfully started is beginning to heat the living space.
By my second cup, everyone is awake. After breakfast, we begin the busy work of a rural place. Chopping(砍) wood for the stove and clearing snow off steps and pathways. Our kids are big enough to be properly helpful and find joy in the work when everyone is doing it together.
Then we take a walk through the fresh snow. We discover an amazing array of animals on display in the markings that they have left. After dinner, we play cards with a lot of energy and
competitive interaction. Eventually, we'll turn off the lights and with the fire crackling(噼啪作响), cuddle(拥抱) on the couch to watch the stars through the windows before heading off to bed.
Weekends at the cabin (木屋) are magical. During the break，our family constantly balances the demands of work and school. I'm subject to my watch and alarm clock. But coming to the cabin on the weekend is like entering another world.
Here, I don’t need to know what time it is-sunrise and sunset, hunger and chores set our schedule. The house and the woods around it are silent and dark, except for birdsong and the moon. Life seems less pressing, and it’s easier to live in the moment without distraction.
When I get up the next morning, my son is already sitting in front of the fire, staring at the flames. I sit beside him, and he leans into me, sleepy and a bit sad. “What's up ” I ask. “I just don’t want to go home yet. I like it better here.”
I know what he means. I smile and put my arms around him. “Even when we’re home, this place is always here, where it’s quiet and safe, and everyone you love has time for you.”
I don’t really mean the cabin, and I think he knows that.
24. What are paragraphs 1-3 mainly about
A. The reasons the family go to the cabin.
B. The activities of the family at the cabin.
C. The adventures of the family in the woods.
D. The attitudes of the family to their cabin life.
25. Why does the author think weekends at the cabin are magical
A. She can reunite with her family.
B. She enjoys the silence there most.
C. She finds her life there more thrilling.
D. She was not enslaved by tight schedules.
26. What does the cabin represent in the passage
A. A rural culture. B. An isolated life.
C.A place of connection. D. An energetic interaction.
27. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Taking a Break B.A Weekend Picnic
C. Embracing Our Life D.A Conscious Attempt
C
One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That's what people who get promoted say. But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacation won’t lead to a promotion. So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time
In 2016, researchers from Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out. They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, the status is heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words，the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.
That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a view that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout.
Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how I am. It sounds self-righteous (自以为是的) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off.
That’s why we recently launched the Out of Office Email Generator, a free tool you can use before your next long weekend or trip. You can share loud and proud that you won’t be checking email until you’re back. Managers need to think twice about emailing their teams on the weekend and talking about how busy they are. Leaders should take time off themselves and encourage employees to do the same.
28. What is a reason for the author to be in the habit of saying “busy”
A. He is actually proud to be fully occupied.
B. He just follows successful people’s example.
C. He thinks everyone should be devoted to work.
D. He believes busyness ensures accomplishments.
29. Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status
A. Our status can be down to our social mobility.
B. Few people of high status have time for leisure.
C. Our opportunity for success never comes easily.
D. We hold the belief that hard work leads to success.
30. What does “I have limited access to email” sound like according to the author
A. I enjoy my time off work. B. I am forced to stop working.
C. 1 am opposed to the work culture. D. I am too busy to check all emails.
31. Why was the Out of Office Email Generator launched
A. To stop managers talking about how busy they usually are.
B. To allow for less time busy employees spend checking emails.
C. To ensure employees as well as employers truly have time off.
D. To encourage employers and employees to answer emails in time.
D
Hundreds or even thousands of jackdaws(寒鸦) are known to launch into the winter sky at once from the treetops at sunrise, and then split into smaller groups to feed throughout the day. Now, ecologists know that this synchronized(同步的) departure is timed with a complicated behavior called “consensus decision-making”, where the majority agree to take action.
To figure it out, researchers in the United Kingdom recorded hundreds of hours of their bird calls in Cornwall over several months. They measured when the first jackdaws began their calls, how loud the birds were, and how quickly the swell(增强) of calls rose, and then compared these sounds to footage(镜头) of those birds’ departures. The team found that the jackdaw group left together once the chorus of calls reached a critical mass--the more rapidly the chorus swelled, the earlier the birds left.
“They all leave together in a few seconds. The sky just fills with black birds forthwith. It is just like a black snowstorm,” Alex Thornton, an ecologist at the University of Exeter, UK, told New Scientist. Every call is a jackdaw casting its vote to leave. “At first you just get a few calls, then more and more birds join in and it builds and builds. And the steeper the increase, the earlier they leave,” Thornton added. On rare occasions, when the intensity of the chorus doesn’t build enough and the jackdaws don 't agree, the birds instead launch off in small numbers.
The team also found that once jackdaws reached a consensus they departed almost immediately, with hundreds of individuals flying in less than five seconds. When scientist splayed past recordings of calls back to the jackdaws, getting in the way of the group's natural crescendo(渐强的声音), they were able to push forward the birds’ launching by more than six minutes. The birds did not, however, change their launch times in response to other noises.
“The gregarious(群居的) birds prefer to leave as a group, although each jackdaw will have a slightly different preference as to when they want to leave, based on factors like their size and hunger,” Alex Dibnah, a University of Exeter graduate student and lead author of the study, said in a statement. “Leaving the roost(栖息处) together has various benefits, including safety from predators and access to information such as where to find food.”
This research shows the critical role vocalizations(发声) play in group decision-making for this species. One next step for this research，according to the authors，is to figure out how human-created noises might affect this process and the spread of information throughout these communities.
“Imagine a big roost near a town or busy road,” Thornton said. “If the birds can’t hear each other and can’t form a consensus to leave together, it could have big impacts on their population.”
32.What is the purpose of the research in Cornwall
A. To understand how jackdaws reach an agreement.
B. To study what makes jackdaws’ departure time unique.
C. To make a comparison of jackdaws' calls with other birds’.
D. To assess the importance of jackdaws' complicated behaviors.
33. What does the underlined “forthwith” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Frequently. B. Gradually. C. Traditionally. D. Immediately.
34.What can be inferred about the jackdaw group from Paragraph 4
A. It can reach an agreement within seconds.
B. Its launch times vary little from season to season.
C. It can distinguish its natural calls from other noises.
D. It makes no response to the past recordings of calls.
35. What do the researchers plan to study next
A. The impacts of human hunting on jackdaws’ population.
B. The effects of noises on jackdaws' group decision-making.
C. The way jackdaws spread information in their communities.
D. The role of jackdaws' vocalizations in group decision-making.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In early October, Travis Gienger transported an enormous pumpkin(南瓜) from his home in Minnesota to the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in California. His pumpkin set the record for the biggest one ever grown in North America. How do competitive growers get their pumpkins to grow to massive sizes 36
Gienger, who teaches horticulture(园艺学) at Anoka Technical College, begins growing his pumpkins in mid-April, starting with seeds that he grows indoors for the first few weeks, when Minnesota’s soil is too frosty. 37 They can absorb sunlight, nutrients from the soil, and water there. “At their peak, you 're watering them with at least 600 liters a day,” he says.
Depending on the variety, pumpkin plants can grow up to a dozen fruits on a single vine(藤曼). But to maximize size, growers remove all but one or two of these pumpkins in order to decrease each individual fruit's competition for resources._ 38
But what exactly happens inside a pumpkin as it grows Two factors drive natural growth: cell division and cell expansion. Cell division accounts for most of the growth at the beginning of a fruit's life. This period lasts for about 20 days in pumpkin plants. 39 Pumpkin cells will expand until around 50 or 60 days after pollination (授粉).
40 Some varieties of pumpkins have been bred specifically to maximize their size. Still, there is genetic variation even among pumpkins of the same variety. This has led to competition for the best seeds. Following each harvest, many growers auction off(拍卖掉) the seeds from their biggest pumpkins, which will then be used for the following year’s plantings.
A. Biology has the answers.
B. Genetics also influences pumpkin growth.
C. The following tips will give you a head start.
D. Once it warms up, the plants are transferred outside。
E. When it stops, cell expansion will then come into play.
F. Growers extend the growth period for as long as possible.
G. Growers also remove the weeds in the area for the same reason.

Many people may throw away the pits(核) or nuts after eating fruits, but inheritors(传承人)of nut carving have instead collected them and turned them into artworks.
“One nut, 56 (range) from 0.8 to 6 centimetres, can be made into delicate fan pendants (扇坠), earrings, buttons, seals, ect,” said Tan Wanhai, 57 inheritor of Weifang nut carving.
Weifang nut carving 58 (date) back to the Qing Dynasty. During that time, retired imperial craftsman Wang Dayan spread the skill to the local people in Shandong Province.

Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, last December when something caught his eye. Among the fallen branches and leaves, it looked like litter. But Bamburg was attracted and picked it up.
“God just told me,” he later recounted.
As he drew closer, he saw that it was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child's Christmas wish list.
“Dear Santa,” the handwritten note read. “My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal, Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll. With love, Luna.”
Bamburg’s heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scenario. “Years ago,” he says, “classes at school released balloons with notes. I’ve always wanted to find one.”
He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he knew he was going to make Luna’s wish come true too.
However, the task seemed impossible, as Liberal, Kansas, is more than 650 miles from Grand Cane, Louisiana. But Bamburg’s wife, Lee Ann Bamburg, didn’t mind the distance. As an enthusiastic Facebook user, she had seen other people find all sorts of connections through the site and thought it might help her husband find Luna.
The next day Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender.
At first, he wasn't confident the strategy would work. But as he saw the number of shares and comments on his post climbed into the hundreds, his hope grew into expectation. “I knew we were going to find Luna.” Alvin said.
And indeed, they did.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day Luna’s mother came across the post. When they arrived at Luna’s home, the entire family was surprised.

One possible version
I choose to exhibit Teddy. It is a brown bear with a red bow tie, and it has been my companion since I was a little kid.
Teddy represents my happy childhood when I had no worries and everything was simple and pure. Moreover, it is also a symbol of love and warmth. It was a gift from my parents on my third birthday. It shows their love and affection for me, and it is a precious memory that I cherish.
In my opinion, Teddy is not just a stuffed animal, but a precious item that carries my childhood memories and family love. I hope that by exhibiting it, I can share my happy childhood with you and remind you of the importance of cherishing the simple things in life.
Another possible version
I choose to exhibit this notebook. In my middle school days, I received it. The cover of the notebook is a light blue color with simple patterns printed on it, giving a fresh and comfortable feeling. Every page of the notebook is filled with my learning notes.
I choose this notebook to exhibit because it is very important to me. It was awarded to me by my middle school teacher in recognition of my progress and efforts in learning. Whenever I see this notebook, I will recall my high school days, as well as the teacher’s encouragement and expectations for me.
I hope that through this exhibition, I can share my growth journey with my classmates, and also inspire everyone to cherish their own growth memories and bravely embrace a better future.

One day Luna’s mother came across the post. Her heart skipped a beat as he recognized her daughter's handwriting. It was indeed Luna’s wish list that had somehow travelled all those miles, across states and through the woods, to find its way into Alvin’s hands. Excitedly, she contacted Alvin, confirming that the list belonged to her daughter, Luna. Overjoyed, Alvin and Lee Ann immediately set out to fulfill Luna's wishes. With all the gifts ready, Alvin and Lee Ann decided to deliver them to Luna personally. They drove the long distance from Louisiana to Kansas, eager to surprise Luna.
When they arrived at Luna’s home, the entire family was surprised. Seeing this stranger holding the gifts filled Luna with delight. She eagerly received each gift, her eyes sparkling with joy. Alvin watched Luna’s delighted face with a heart full of contentment. It was as if he had fulfilled a childhood dream of his own. They spent a wonderful day together. Since then, every Christmas, Alvin receives heartfelt thank-you letters and handmade cards from Luna. Their friendship, despite the distance, has become a lasting legend. And that forgotten balloon in the woods remains a cherished memory between them.

One possible version
I choose to exhibit Teddy. It is a brown bear with a red bow tie, and it has been my companion since I was a little kid.
Teddy represents my happy childhood when I had no worries and everything was simple and pure. Moreover, it is also a symbol of love and warmth. It was a gift from my parents on my third birthday. It shows their love and affection for me, and it is a precious memory that I cherish.
In my opinion, Teddy is not just a stuffed animal, but a precious item that carries my childhood memories and family love. I hope that by exhibiting it, I can share my happy childhood with you and remind you of the importance of cherishing the simple things in life.
Another possible version
I choose to exhibit this notebook. In my middle school days, I received it. The cover of the notebook is a light blue color with simple patterns printed on it, giving a fresh and comfortable feeling. Every page of the notebook is filled with my learning notes.
I choose this notebook to exhibit because it is very important to me. It was awarded to me by my middle school teacher in recognition of my progress and efforts in learning. Whenever I see this notebook, I will recall my high school days, as well as the teacher’s encouragement and expectations for me.
I hope that through this exhibition, I can share my growth journey with my classmates, and also inspire everyone to cherish their own growth memories and bravely embrace a better future.
第二节（满分25分）
One day Luna’s mother came across the post. Her heart skipped a beat as he recognized her daughter's handwriting. It was indeed Luna’s wish list that had somehow travelled all those miles, across states and through the woods, to find its way into Alvin’s hands. Excitedly, she contacted Alvin, confirming that the list belonged to her daughter, Luna. Overjoyed, Alvin and Lee Ann immediately set out to fulfill Luna's wishes. With all the gifts ready, Alvin and Lee Ann decided to deliver them to Luna personally. They drove the long distance from Louisiana to Kansas, eager to surprise Luna.
When they arrived at Luna’s home, the entire family was surprised. Seeing this stranger holding the gifts filled Luna with delight. She eagerly received each gift, her eyes sparkling with joy. Alvin watched Luna’s delighted face with a heart full of contentment. It was as if he had fulfilled a childhood dream of his own. They spent a wonderful day together. Since then, every Christmas, Alvin receives heartfelt thank-you letters and handmade cards from Luna. Their friendship, despite the distance, has become a lasting legend. And that forgotten balloon in the woods remains a cherished memory between them.
