Discover the Huge Health Benefits of Strength Training
One of the best ways to stay fit and healthy as you age is to do strength and power training exercises. It is known that when you are in your thirties, you will begin to lose muscle mass. This loss actually contributes to achy joints, the increased risk of injury, and the “middle-age spread” we all fear. What’s more, the older you get, the faster muscle mass loses. It means that eventually, simple tasks like getting out of a chair and climbing stairs can become more difficult.
Strength training can help you build muscles, make you strong, increase your staying power and make everyday activities easier. By combining strength and power training exercises, you’ll not only get stronger, but also improve your reaction speed. As you grow older, that’s critical because it can help prevent falls. Here is a book, Strength and Power Training for All Ages, for your reference.
Common sense about fitness in the book:
·The key muscles to work for an injury-free body
·How to tell how much weight is suitable for you
·How to strengthen the bones most likely to break
·How to take pressure off your knees when walking or running
·Why you’ll want to apply heat to sore joints before you exercise
Four total body workouts in the book:
·Build bones
·Fight diseases
·Improve balance
·Strengthen muscles &Increase muscle power
Get a copy, start training, and then you’ll discover a whole new self.

The beauty industry produces many units of one-time use containers every year. More and more consumers are asking how they can keep themselves clean and beautiful without trashing the planet.
It’s a question Women of the Future winner, Natassia Nicolao, considered during her years working in product development for beauty and wellness companies. Raised by a strong and supportive mother, Natassia used her skills and passion to make a difference. In 2021, she created her waterless beauty brand.
She said, “Water is involved in every stage of a product life cycle. Everything we use, buy, sell and make has a huge water footprint. On top of that, the beauty industry adds water as the main ingredients in its products, despite it having no direct benefit to our skin.”
Having lived through water restrictions in drought-ridden Australia, Natassia felt it necessary to stop the overuse of water in the beauty industry. Natassia has always loved beauty. Her company tries to be sustainable in every step of the way, but at its core, it is about removing water from our beauty routines.
“It’s really rooted in water conservation first, and then managing your water footprint, your carbon footprint and your waste footprint,” Natassia said. “We create waterless beauty products to help conserve water.” The glass bottles and jars of her products can be recycled. The oils and wipes are formulated without any water, requiring no water to use. The company also has a piece of game-changing beauty technology: face-wipes and masks that completely dissolve in water.
“The company is still in its beginning,” Natassia said. With the prize money from Women of the Future, she plans to purchase a machine to simplify the creation of the wipes and masks. The publicity, meanwhile, will help her spread the message central to the company’s existence that beauty must do better. Natassia believes that, with a little courage and innovation, it can do.
24．What does the underlined word “trashing” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Studying. B．Damaging. C．Exploding. D．Supporting.
25．What mainly led to the birth of Natassia’s company
A．Her pursuit of profit. B．Her best beauty skills.
C．Her growth environment. D．Her love of extreme beauty.
26．Which can best describe the products of Natassia’s company
A．Environmentally friendly. B．Relatively cheap.
C．Elegant. D．World-famous.
27．How does Natassia feel about the beauty industry
A．It has died out. B．It’s promising. C．It develops well. D．It’s worth analysis.
【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．B
【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了为了保护水资源，Natassia Nicolao创立了自己的美容品牌。文章解释了她这么做的原因以及其产品的特色。
24．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The beauty industry produces many units of one-time use containers every year.(美容行业每年生产许多单位的一次性使用容器)”以及“More and more consumers are asking how they can keep themselves clean and beautiful without（越来越多的消费者开始问，如何在不使用化妆品的情况下保持自己的干净和美丽）”可知，美容行业每年会用许多一次性使用容器，而越来越多的消费者开始询问，如何在不破坏地球环境的前提下保持自己的清洁和美丽。故划线词意思是“破坏”。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第四段“Having lived through water restrictions in drought-ridden Australia, Natassia felt it necessary to stop the overuse of water in the beauty industry.(在饱受干旱之苦的澳大利亚，娜塔莉亚经历了用水限制，她觉得有必要制止美容行业过度用水)”可知，是Natassia的成长环境促使她成立了自己的公司。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据第五段““It’s really rooted in water conservation first, and then managing your water footprint, your carbon footprint and your waste footprint,” Natassia said. “We create waterless beauty products to help conserve water.” The glass bottles and jars of her products can be recycled. The oils and wipes are formulated without any water, requiring no water to use. The company also has a piece of game-changing beauty technology: face-wipes and masks that completely dissolve in water.(娜塔莎说：“这首先植根于节约用水，然后管理你的水足迹、碳足迹和废物足迹。”“我们创造无水美容产品，以帮助节约用水。”她的产品的玻璃瓶和罐子可以回收利用。油和湿巾配方不含任何水，不需要水使用。该公司还拥有一项改变游戏规则的美容技术:完全溶于水的湿巾和面膜)”可知，Natassia的公司关注水资源的保护和一些物品的回收利用。故选A。
27．细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Natassia believes that, with a little courage and innovation, it can do.(Natassia相信，只要有一点勇气和创新，它就能做到)”可知，Natassia认为美容业很有前途。故选B。
C
“The majority of decisions we make do not come from the conscious (有意识的) mind, but the subconscious mind,” Beni Gradwohl, the co-founder of Cognovi Labs, said. “Our decisions are based on emotions. People think they are very rational (理智的). But they are not. In fact, decisions in the subconscious mind are made in a second before the rational mind recognizes that.”
Gradwohl used to think that cold and hard data defined the world. But when he was exposed to behavioral economics, his world view changed. He said, “Emotional intelligence is more important than intelligence quotient (IQ). Most successful leaders in the world don’t have above-average IQ but above average emotional quotient (EQ).”
Gradwohl co-founded AI company, Cognovi Labs, to better understand how people make decisions, using data and science and technology to measure underlying emotions.
When asked how event organizers could benefit from using emotional AI, Gradwohl said, “The first thing is whether you really understand what’s driving your target audience to an event.” He added, “You can ask them, but what potential registrants tell you may be incorrect.”
According to Gradwohl, registering for an event is not an entirely rational decision, and it goes deeper. Understanding how your target audience makes decisions is important because you don’t want to sell them something they don’t care about. Cognovi Labs’ AI can uncover the underlying emotional drivers or blockers of your target audience’s decision-making.
Beyond using Cognovi Labs’ AI in the marketing leading up to an event, once the event is underway, Gradwohl thinks organizers can know how their participants are feeling via the AI. That involves using feedback (反馈) surveys. He said, “Have attendees talk to the event app and then transcribe that. We call that diagnostic (诊断的) interview because they may generate a strong emotional response. With those conversations about what they are experiencing throughout the program at different times of the day, we will see what the emotional blockers and drivers are. We can get a full picture of the emotional aspects of the attendees.”
28．What may Cognovi Labs mainly focus on
A．Researching people’s potential emotions. B．Helping people make rational decisions.
C．Training people to develop conscious minds. D．Leading people to study science and technology.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A．Registering for an event is important. B．Believing target audience is necessary.
C．Cognovi Labs’ AI helps event organizers. D．Cognovi Labs’ AI benefits lots of drivers.
30．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Cognovi Labs’ AI’s feedback surveys. B．Cognovi Labs’ AI’s additional function.
C．The ways to organize a marketing event. D．The attendees’ strong emotional response.
31．Which of the following may be the best title for the text
A．The Founder of an Emotional AI B．The Future of Behavioral Economics
C．An AI Company Improves Intelligence D．An Emotional AI Helps Make Decisions
【答案】28．A 29．C 30．B 31．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了Cognovi Labs研发的人工智能程序可以判断人的潜在情绪，帮助我们了解人们是如何进行决策的。
28．细节理解题。根据第三段“Gradwohl co-founded AI company, Cognovi Labs, to better understand how people make decisions, using data and science and technology to measure underlying emotions. (格拉德沃尔联合创立了人工智能公司Cognovi Labs，以更好地了解人们如何做出决定，利用数据和科学技术来衡量潜在的情绪。)”可知，Cognovi Labs主要研究人们的潜在情绪。故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Cognovi Labs’ AI can uncover the underlying emotional drivers or blockers of your target audience’s decision-making. (Cognovi Labs的人工智能可以揭示目标受众决策的潜在情感驱动因素或障碍。)”可知，Cognovi Labs的人工智能帮助活动组织者。故选C。
30．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Beyond using Cognovi Labs’ AI in the marketing leading up to an event, once the event is underway, Gradwohl thinks organizers can know how their participants are feeling via the AI. That involves using feedback (反馈) surveys. He said, “Have attendees talk to the event app and then transcribe that. We call that diagnostic (诊断的) interview because they may generate a strong emotional response. With those conversations about what they are experiencing throughout the program at different times of the day, we will see what the emotional blockers and drivers are. We can get a full picture of the emotional aspects of the attendees.” (除了在活动前的营销中使用Cognovi Labs的人工智能之外，一旦活动开始，Gradwohl认为组织者可以通过人工智能了解参与者的感受。这包括使用反馈调查。他说：“让与会者与活动应用对话，然后将其转录。我们称之为诊断性访谈，因为他们可能会产生强烈的情绪反应。通过这些关于他们在一天中不同时间在整个项目中所经历的对话，我们将看到情感障碍和驱动因素是什么。我们可以全面了解与会者的情感方面。”)”可知，最后一段主要讲了认知实验室人工智能的附加功能。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Gradwohl co-founded AI company, Cognovi Labs, to better understand how people make decisions, using data and science and technology to measure underlying emotions. (格拉德沃尔联合创立了人工智能公司Cognovi Labs，以更好地了解人们如何做出决定，利用数据和科学技术来衡量潜在的情绪。)”结合文章主要说明了Cognovi Labs研发的人工智能程序可以判断人的潜在情绪， 帮助我们了解人们是如何进行决策的。故D选项“情绪化的AI有助于做决定”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.
I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
32．How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name
A．Anxious. B．Angry. C．Surprised. D．Settled.
33．According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________.
A．demanding B．inspiring C．misleading D．amusing
34．What can we learn from this passage
A．An invitation is a reputation.
B．An innovation is a resolution.
C．A rejection can be a redirection.
D．A reflection can be a restriction.
【答案】32．A 33．B 34．C
【详解】
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段“My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…”and my vision blurred (模糊). (当我看到邮件发件人的名字时，我的心跳加速了。这封邮件是这样开头的：“亲爱的格林先生，感谢您的关注”，“审核过程比预期的要长。”信的结尾是“我们很抱歉地通知你……”，我的视线模糊了)”可知，收到的是被拒绝的邮件，所以推测作者在看到电子邮件发件人的名字时感到焦虑。故选A。
33 推理判断题。根据第四段“I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. (我发现自己和一个机器人教授一起研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。我可以在沙发上完成这个项目，而不是在沙漠的酷热中完成，它不仅在封锁期间幸存下来，而且在传统方法不奏效的地方也奏效了。最后，我有了新的科学兴趣去追求)”可推知，机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。
34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. (我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会，即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美，也要充分利用，而不是一成不变地制定计划)”结合文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会，告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。故C选项“拒绝可以是重定向”最符合文章的主旨。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You know you really want to get good grades.Your parents have put the pressure on you, or you’ve promised that you’ll do better. 35 If you work to find a focused mindset and establish a study schedule, you can cut out the distractions you have control over and minimize the ones you can’t stop completely.
Tune out specific distractions as you notice them. Say you’re trying to study in the library and you keep getting distracted by someone texting. Take note of this specific distraction and then tell yourself you’re going to overcome it. 36 And eventually you’ll no longer notice it.
Give yourself a break. 37 So it’s no surprise if you find yourself distracted from studying by thoughts about a lot of other things. Rather than acting like all of those other needs don’t exist, give yourself an outlet.Spend five minutes thinking about everything that is on your plate, but then tell yourself that it’s time to focus on the main task — studying.
Prioritize your studying by setting a main goal.When you’ve got an exam coming up, it’s easy to think you need to study everything. If you want to make things more manageable and be less prone to becoming distracted, do as follows: 38
39 Some people imagine that knocking out several things at once means you can work faster.However, doing your homework while watching TV or shopping online will cause you to lose your focus. So concentrate on a piece of work at a time instead.
If you follow the above consistently, you’ll find that you gradually spend less and less time being distracted.
A．Life can get really busy.
B．Don’t attempt to multitask.
C．Put off the easier tasks instead.
D．But you are likely unable to concentrate.
E．Break things down and establish just one primary goal.
F．Sometimes stepping away from studies can be more beneficial.
G．Keep doing this every time something taking your attention away comes up.
【答案】35．D 36．G 37．A 38．E 39．B
【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一些减少干扰的方法。
35．根据下文“If you work to find a focused mindset and establish a study schedule, you can cut out the distractions you have control over and minimize the ones you can’t stop completely. (如果你努力找到一种专注的心态并制定一个学习时间表，你可以减少你可以控制的干扰，并尽量减少那些你无法完全停止的干扰。)”可知，下文讲的是解决办法，故空格处应提出问题。D项“But you are likely unable to concentrate. (但你可能无法集中注意力。)”提出“无法专注”这一问题，承上启下，符合语境，故选D项。
36．根据本段主旨句“Tune out specific distractions as you notice them. (当你注意到特定的干扰时，就要排除它们。)”可知，本段主要讲要排除干扰。根据下文“And eventually you’ll no longer notice it. (最终你将不再注意到它。)”可知，空格处与下文是顺承关系，下文讲的是做某事的结果，故空格处应讲该做什么。G项“Keep doing this every time something taking your attention away comes up. (每次出现让你分心的事情时，都要坚持这样做。)”承上启下，且符合本段主旨，故选G项。
37．根据本段主旨句“Give yourself a break. (让自己休息一下。)”可知，本段主要讲要让自己休息。根据下文“So it’s no surprise if you find yourself distracted from studying by thoughts about a lot of other things. (所以，如果你发现自己被很多其他事情的想法分散了学习的注意力，也就不足为奇了。)”可知，空格处与下文是因果关系。A项“Life can get really busy. (生活会变得非常忙碌。)”是注意力被分散的原因，故选A项。
38．根据本段主旨句“Prioritize your studying by setting a main goal. (通过设定一个主要目标来优先考虑你的学习。)”可知，本段主要讲要设定一个主要目标。根据上文“If you want to make things more manageable and be less prone to becoming distracted, do as follows: (如果你想让事情更易于管理，不太容易分心，请按照以下步骤进行：)”可知，下文应承接上文讲具体做法。E项“Break things down and establish just one primary goal. (把事情分解，只确立一个主要目标。)”承接上文且符合本段主旨。one primary goal与主旨句中的a main goal呼应。故选E项。
39．空格处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Some people imagine that knocking out several things at once means you can work faster.However, doing your homework while watching TV or shopping online will cause you to lose your focus.So concentrate on a piece of work at a time instead. (有些人认为一次搞定几件事意味着你可以更快地工作。然而，在看电视或网上购物时做家庭作业会导致你失去注意力。所以一次只专注于一件工作。)”可知，本段主要讲要一次专注一件事情。B项“Don’t attempt to multitask. (不要试图一心多用。)”最能概括本段主旨，故选B项。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Doctors in Bristol can send patients on a free course from this month, which uses stand-up comedy to help patients overcome their trauma (创伤). The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol.
Comedy is a natural human trait (特质). Every night we come back home from work and tell our family what our day was like, but on the way home we’ll make up details, and try to make our stories funnier to entertain family members. Professional comedy education is to give a tool to take this to a more polished and informed level. The content of the six-week course is described as a “combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling.”
Actually, past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life, but from our everyday struggles. People, who’ve been through big life experiences, such as the loss of a close friend or ill health, often can’t wait to share their stories, mostly because there’s always something funny about the situation. We can accept and honor the comedy of a situation, as much as the sadness of it.
While the comedy course can’t take the place of traditional clinical approaches, talking about our trauma in a funny way is quite lovely, and more importantly, it has a chain reaction on our audience, and we help other people to deal with their sadness. When we bring our stories alive for others, it makes other people feel less alone. Having our experiences mirrored back to us is hugely edy builds community.
40．Who was the course pioneered by
41．What is the content of the course
42．Please underline the false part in the following statement and explain why.
Comedy comes from our everyday struggles, and from the happy moments of our life as well.
43．If you meet a trauma, would you like to take the comedy course Why
(In about 40 words)
【答案】40．The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol. 41．A combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling. 42．Comedy comes from our everyday struggles, and from the happy moments of our life as well. Because comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life. 43．If I encounter trauma, I am willing to take comedy classes. Because when we vividly present our own story to others, they will feel less lonely. It is very gratifying to reflect our experiences onto us.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了病人参加一个免费课程，该课程使用单口喜剧来帮助病人克服创伤。文章详述了这样做的原因。
40．考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol. (这门课程是由布里斯托尔大学的喜剧演员安吉·贝尔彻开创的。)”可知，这门课程是由安吉·贝尔彻开创的，他是布里斯托尔大学的喜剧演员。故答案为：The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol.
41．考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“The content of the six-week course is described as a “combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling.” (六周的课程内容被描述为“心理学、喜剧和讲故事的结合”。)”可知，这门课程是内容“心理学、喜剧和讲故事的结合”。故答案为：A combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling.
42．考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“Comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life, but from our everyday struggles. (喜剧不是来自我们生活中的快乐时刻，而是来自我们每天的挣扎。)”可知，喜剧不是来自我们生活中的快乐时刻。故答案为：Comedy comes from our everyday struggles, and from the happy moments of our life as well. Because comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life.
43．考查语言表达。如果我遇到创伤，我愿意参加喜剧课程。因为当我们把自己的故事生动地呈现给别人时，别人会觉得不那么孤单。把我们的经历反射到我们身上是非常令人欣慰的。故答案为：If I encounter trauma, I am willing to take comedy classes. Because when we vividly present our own story to others, they will feel less lonely. It is very gratifying to reflect our experiences onto us.

Discover the Huge Health Benefits of Strength Training
One of the best ways to stay fit and healthy as you age is to do strength and power training exercises. It is known that when you are in your thirties, you will begin to lose muscle mass. This loss actually contributes to achy joints, the increased risk of injury, and the “middle-age spread” we all fear. What’s more, the older you get, the faster muscle mass loses. It means that eventually, simple tasks like getting out of a chair and climbing stairs can become more difficult.
Strength training can help you build muscles, make you strong, increase your staying power and make everyday activities easier. By combining strength and power training exercises, you’ll not only get stronger, but also improve your reaction speed. As you grow older, that’s critical because it can help prevent falls.

The beauty industry produces many units of one-time use containers every year. More and more consumers are asking how they can keep themselves clean and beautiful without trashing the planet.
It’s a question Women of the Future winner, Natassia Nicolao, considered during her years working in product development for beauty and wellness companies. Raised by a strong and supportive mother, Natassia used her skills and passion to make a difference. In 2021, she created her waterless beauty brand.
She said, “Water is involved in every stage of a product life cycle. Everything we use, buy, sell and make has a huge water footprint. On top of that, the beauty industry adds water as the main ingredients in its products, despite it having no direct benefit to our skin.”
Having lived through water restrictions in drought-ridden Australia, Natassia felt it necessary to stop the overuse of water in the beauty industry. Natassia has always loved beauty. Her company tries to be sustainable in every step of the way, but at its core, it is about removing water from our beauty routines.
“It’s really rooted in water conservation first, and then managing your water footprint, your carbon footprint and your waste footprint,” Natassia said. “We create waterless beauty products to help conserve water.” The glass bottles and jars of her products can be recycled. The oils and wipes are formulated without any water, requiring no water to use. The company also has a piece of game-changing beauty technology: face-wipes and masks that completely dissolve in water.
“The company is still in its beginning,” Natassia said. With the prize money from Women of the Future, she plans to purchase a machine to simplify the creation of the wipes and masks. The publicity, meanwhile, will help her spread the message central to the company’s existence that beauty must do better. Natassia believes that, with a little courage and innovation, it can do.
24．What does the underlined word “trashing” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Studying. B．Damaging. C．Exploding. D．Supporting.
25．What mainly led to the birth of Natassia’s company
A．Her pursuit of profit. B．Her best beauty skills.
C．Her growth environment. D．Her love of extreme beauty.
26．Which can best describe the products of Natassia’s company
A．Environmentally friendly. B．Relatively cheap.
C．Elegant. D．World-famous.
27．How does Natassia feel about the beauty industry
A．It has died out. B．It’s promising. C．It develops well. D．It’s worth analysis.
C
“The majority of decisions we make do not come from the conscious (有意识的) mind, but the subconscious mind,” Beni Gradwohl, the co-founder of Cognovi Labs, said. “Our decisions are based on emotions. People think they are very rational (理智的). But they are not. In fact, decisions in the subconscious mind are made in a second before the rational mind recognizes that.”
Gradwohl used to think that cold and hard data defined the world. But when he was exposed to behavioral economics, his world view changed. He said, “Emotional intelligence is more important than intelligence quotient (IQ). Most successful leaders in the world don’t have above-average IQ but above average emotional quotient (EQ).”
Gradwohl co-founded AI company, Cognovi Labs, to better understand how people make decisions, using data and science and technology to measure underlying emotions.
When asked how event organizers could benefit from using emotional AI, Gradwohl said, “The first thing is whether you really understand what’s driving your target audience to an event.” He added, “You can ask them, but what potential registrants tell you may be incorrect.”
According to Gradwohl, registering for an event is not an entirely rational decision, and it goes deeper. Understanding how your target audience makes decisions is important because you don’t want to sell them something they don’t care about. Cognovi Labs’ AI can uncover the underlying emotional drivers or blockers of your target audience’s decision-making.
Beyond using Cognovi Labs’ AI in the marketing leading up to an event, once the event is underway, Gradwohl thinks organizers can know how their participants are feeling via the AI. That involves using feedback (反馈) surveys. He said, “Have attendees talk to the event app and then transcribe that. We call that diagnostic (诊断的) interview because they may generate a strong emotional response. With those conversations about what they are experiencing throughout the program at different times of the day, we will see what the emotional blockers and drivers are. We can get a full picture of the emotional aspects of the attendees.”
28．What may Cognovi Labs mainly focus on
A．Researching people’s potential emotions. B．Helping people make rational decisions.
C．Training people to develop conscious minds. D．Leading people to study science and technology.
29．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A．Registering for an event is important. B．Believing target audience is necessary.
C．Cognovi Labs’ AI helps event organizers. D．Cognovi Labs’ AI benefits lots of drivers.
30．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．Cognovi Labs’ AI’s feedback surveys. B．Cognovi Labs’ AI’s additional function.
C．The ways to organize a marketing event. D．The attendees’ strong emotional response.
31．Which of the following may be the best title for the text
A．The Founder of an Emotional AI B．The Future of Behavioral Economics
C．An AI Company Improves Intelligence D．An Emotional AI Helps Make Decisions

Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.
I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
32．How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name
A．Anxious. B．Angry. C．Surprised. D．Settled.
33．According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________.
A．demanding B．inspiring C．misleading D．amusing
34．What can we learn from this passage
A．An invitation is a reputation.
B．An innovation is a resolution.
C．A rejection can be a redirection.
D．A reflection can be a restriction.

You know you really want to get good grades.Your parents have put the pressure on you, or you’ve promised that you’ll do better. 35 If you work to find a focused mindset and establish a study schedule, you can cut out the distractions you have control over and minimize the ones you can’t stop completely.
Tune out specific distractions as you notice them. Say you’re trying to study in the library and you keep getting distracted by someone texting. Take note of this specific distraction and then tell yourself you’re going to overcome it. 36 And eventually you’ll no longer notice it.
Give yourself a break. 37 So it’s no surprise if you find yourself distracted from studying by thoughts about a lot of other things. Rather than acting like all of those other needs don’t exist, give yourself an outlet.Spend five minutes thinking about everything that is on your plate, but then tell yourself that it’s time to focus on the main task — studying.
Prioritize your studying by setting a main goal.When you’ve got an exam coming up, it’s easy to think you need to study everything. If you want to make things more manageable and be less prone to becoming distracted, do as follows: 38
39 Some people imagine that knocking out several things at once means you can work faster.However, doing your homework while watching TV or shopping online will cause you to lose your focus. So concentrate on a piece of work at a time instead.
If you follow the above consistently, you’ll find that you gradually spend less and less time being distracted.
A．Life can get really busy.
B．Don’t attempt to multitask.
C．Put off the easier tasks instead.
D．But you are likely unable to concentrate.
E．Break things down and establish just one primary goal.
