When does spring begin For some, it's the second Sunday in March, when we turn our clocks forward by an hour in the United States. For others, it's when they first realize they've finished dinner and it's still light out. This year, impatient as ever for winter to end, I decided to skip my usual routine of calendar watching and see if I couldn't do something to speed up spring's arrival.
It's only a three-hour flight from La Guardia (rainy, cold), New York to West Palm Beach (sunny,81 degrees, slight breeze), Florida and from there an hour's drive to Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, the spring training home of the New York Mets, where the traffic of more than 7,000 fans descended. Here in Port St. Lucie ón a Tuesday afternoon, weeks before the season's official start, cheery fans were dressed in lightweight clothing, drinking Modelo Especial and snacking on peanuts, heckling（起哄） the players. Here, spring was already happening.
Being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, things do feel slower and easier. I love that baseball has long been considered America's national pastime. A pastime is something that makes the passing of time pleasant. Isn't that what we're dying for in the winter months Something that makes time not just tolerable but enjoyable
By the time I left Florida, it was pouring rain and even a little chilly. How was I supposed to take springtime home with me, I wondered fiercely. It was still raining in New York when I landed. Spring isn't just weather, of course, and it certainly makes no promises about rain. I'm trying to resist cliche（陈词滥调）, to keep from saying something similar to "spring is a state of mind," even though I wish it were.
I went looking for spring and I found it where spring breakers find it every year, already in full swing in the Sunshine State. My own official removal of woolen coats will occur on Tuesday, when spring finally arrives. But having experienced 24 hours of spring's full pageant（盛会）, my own little preseason, I feel slightly pacified. Perhaps I can be patient as spring establishes itself, and offer the season a little grace as it clicks into place.
24. What is presented in Paragraph 1
A. Spring falls on a fixed date.
B. Spring came late this year.
C. The author was longing for spring restlessly.
D. The author was celebrating the end of winter.

C. The birthplace of baseball. D. Home to delicious food.

A. Puzzled. B. Disappointed. C. Curious. D. Calm.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. In Search of Spring B. In Praise of Spring
C. A Trip to Florida D. A Farewell to New York

Andrew McCarthy-stars roles in era-defining movies such as Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire and Less Than Zero. But he is also an award-winning travel writer whose books include The Longest Way Home (2012) and Walking With Sam (2021). In the new book, he looks back on an epic adventure, where he walked 500 miles across Spain's Camino de Santiago with his 19-year-old son, Sam.
McCarthy had hoped the trip would be a way to re-examine their evolving relationship, as Sam was just stepping into his own manhood. "I wanted to get to know my son. Not just in the parent-child, dominant-submissive or unruly roles, but as adults, as equals, as peers（同龄人）," he said. "The Camino gave me the greatest luxury you have with adult children—which is time." For McCarthy it was a chance to spend time with Sam, and perhaps avoid repeating the history he had with his own father. "My relationship with my dad ended pretty much when I left home at 17 years old, and I didn't want that happen with my kids," MeCarthy said.
The book's structure follows the path of the Camino, with a chapter per day over the course.
It creates a pleasant rhythm of the trail. It also establishes a gradual sense of community and friendship among the other walkers they encounter, and paints a clear picture of McCarthy as somebody extremely in touch with his feelings.
Sometimes physical togetherness and shared experiences are the most you can ask for in a relationship, and there are lovely examples of both here. In one scene McCarthy realizes Sam is suffering from a sugar crash, and offers him a protein bar he's been saving for just such a moment. "I reach out and rub his shoulder," McCarthy writes."He nods softly , gratefully. We sit together as thousands upon thousands of dandelion puffs（蒲公英） float in the air like dancing diamonds." Walking with Sam captures this encouraging and hopeful expedition as the pair walk across the country and towards one another.
28. What do we know about Walking With Sam according to paragraph 1
A. A fantasy novel. B. A travel memoir.
C. A prize-winning diary entry. D. An era-defining movie.
29. Why did McCarthy start the adventure
A. To honor his father. B. To help his son fly the nest.
C. To bond with his son. D. To seek for writing inspiration.
30. McCarthy develops Walking with Sam by ______.
A. Comparison and contrast B. Cause and effect
C. Facts and opinions D. Sequence of events
31. What does the author think of Walking With Sam
A. Plain but functional. B. Inspiring and touching.
C. Brief but informative. D. Humorous and straightforward.
D
The protesters who had gathered on a lawn in Rome's central Piazz a Venezia came from neighborhoods all around the capital, but they had one concern in common: saving the towering umbrella pine trees that for centuries have decorated the city's skyline but are disappearing in alarming numbers.
Celebrated in music and art, and admired by the ancient Romans, the trees are as much a part of the city's identity as its human-made landmarks. "They are in the hearts, photographs and memories of everyone," said Jacopa Stinchelli, who is helping lead the defense of the pines, which in recent years have taken a turn for the worse.
An attack by an invasive pest, which sneaked into Italy about a decade ago, has killed many trees. In the eyes of some Romans, however, it's not just the bugs that are to blame but also a city government that has struggled to deliver basic services.
Critics say that the pines have been subjected to indiscriminate removal, with trees that could still have been saved. They claim that during the past two years at least 4,000 potentially curable trees have been chopped down. While it's hard to lay responsibility on Rome's municipal government for the invasion of pests, critics say the city could be doing more to preserve the pines.
The primary method to counter the pest in urban areas involves injecting a special insecticide into the tree to kill the female population. But the current costly and high-maintenance approach "can't be a permanent solution," said Pio Federico Roversi, the director of a national research center for plant protection. "We'd better introduce natural predators—animals that kill and eat the pests, which doesn't pose a risk for the Italian environment," Mr. Roversi said.
Sabrina Alfonsi, the member of Rome's City Council, said in an interview that the city had set aside 100 million euros, or $110 million, to care for the city's green spaces. All infected pines had been treated, she added, the city has begun monitoring all its 350,000 trees of various species.
No solution is likely to eliminate the pest problem entirely, Mr. Roversi said, but it could become manageable "so that the plants no longer suffer."
32. What can we learn about the umbrella pin es in recent years
A. The distribution is hugely uneven.
B. They have faded out of Roman mind.
C. The number has dropped dramatically.
D. They are used to celebrate special occasions.
33. What should the government do according to the critics
A. Remove the bugs as soon as possible.
B. Make efforts to defend curable pines.
C. Chop down the trees destroyed by pests.
D. Take responsibility for the invasion of pests.
34. How might the pest problem be better handled
A. By using natural enemies.
B. By spraying chemical pesticides.
C. By replanting pines resistant to pests.
D. By establishing a nature reserve for pines.
35. What's the attitude of Roversi to the government's latest response
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Discontented. D. Approving.
第二节（共5 小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
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。
One reason why awaiting news can be so hard is that often the outcome of whatever we are waiting for determines our next steps. If we get the answers we are hoping for, we celebrate and keep moving forward. 36 Our life hangs in doubt in many ways while we wait.
Another reason is that people desire certainty. 37 It's part of our more primitive instinct （本能）. If we know what to expect, we can adequately prepare for it, and most likely get by okay. If we are uncertain about what's to come, we are less likely to survive, let alone thrive.
As it is an inevitability of life, how can we play the waiting game without it taking too much emotional suffering
38 Activities that require your complete focus help you achieve a flow state. Being in your flow can be calming, grounding, and rewarding. There is food to cook, essays to write, and art to make. The wait is there, and so are these other experiences that remind us that there is more to life than the news we are waiting on.
Limit how often you check your phone or email for an answer. When we fall into habitual checking, it becomes a cruel cycle of checking, disappointment, and more checking. Check your email on a schedule. 39 One idea might be to only check your email on your computer, not your phone. Setting such a limit can be a helpful fence in limiting the number of times you check.
Make a list of affirmations. Write. down some words that help with increasing hope and a belief in a positive outcome. Say them out loud, then record yourself saying them, and watch your video as a reminder. 40
A. Set boundaries around where you check.
B. Do things that cause your flow experience.
C. Experience flow to enhance the quality of life.
D. They want accuracy not certainty in their lives.
E. The need to know is built into our drive to survive.
F. If not, we process the loss and disappointment and reroute.
G. This can help ease your worry and keep you feeling optimistic.

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。
Thoughts don't have to be "real" or "true" to create failure or success in our lives. They just have to be believed.
Tim had always been weak in math. In high school, he had failed algebra （代数） three times before he eventually passed. Gradually, he began to accept it as an unchangeable fact. Then in college, the biggest problem that stood between him and his degree came in junior year— he had to take statistics, about which all the horror stories were circulating.
One day he was called into his professor's office. Professor Fine, a short, stout man with thinning hair and a forever smile, sat on the front of his desk reading Tim's record. "My son, this is your lucky day." he looked up and repeated, "This is indeed your lucky day. You're going to be great in stats（统计数据）." He had a huge smile on his face.
"How's that, Doc " Tim asked.
The professor shrugged. "You have the second kind of mind. Listen. First kind of minds are the kids who do well in algebra but don't get stats. But second kind of mind is like yours. Kids who don't get algebra understand statistics with no problem. They are different kinds of math that take different kinds of mind. Since you failed algebra three times, I'd guess you'd get an A in stats." He raised his hands over his head.
"Really " Tim asked, confused.
Professor Fine jumped to the floor and looked square（诚实的） in his eyes. "Really, and I'm happy for you. You never gave up, and now it's going to pay off." Then he shook Tim's hand and slapped his back with great enthusiasm.
Tim was wild with joy at the news.
After that day, each time they met, there was a smile of approval on Professor Fine's face and an enthusiastic handshake. Eventually, Tim began to tell his friends how well he expected to do in statistics.
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。
This unusual change in attitude affected all Tim's grades. After the graduation ceremony, Tim went to professor Fine's office.

参考范文：
This unusual change in attitude affected all Tim's grades. He did something he had never done in any other math class—fought for a front-row seat, concentrated more on the teacher's lectures and swallowed his pride to ask questions. In a word, with the awareness of his "second kind of mind", Tim seized every opportunity to improve himself. His initial fear for statistics gradually gave way to eagerness to learn. It finally paid off. One year later. Tim received an A in statistics and earned his degree smoothly. Dressed in elegant gown and diploma hat on graduation ceremony. Tim was shining on the stage.
After the graduation ceremony. Tim went to professor Fine's office. Expressing his heartfelt gratitude, he bowed to the professor. The professor patted him on the shoulder, saying softly. "my son, in fact, there was no such thing as ‘second kind of mind'." Tim was so stunned that he stood nailed to the spot. Only then did he realize that had it not been for Professor Fine’s story, he wouldn't have made such great progress. It is the firm belief and hard work that made him overcome the difficulties to discover his own strength and graduate with distinction.

Job interviews can generally be divided into three types. The first is what I would call the traditional interview. This is usually just a series of standard questions about qualifications, work experience and expectations. So what you have here is basically a list of quite direct questions, like what duties did you have in your previous job. This is still the model for a lot of interviews today. In my view it's not the best to select staff. Then there is the case interview. Here the interviewer presents a problem and a series of questions to find out how the candidate would approach the problem. It might go like this. "A company wants to hi re more graduates without spending more than its current budget.
