Brecon Beacons YAC has an amazing opportunity for budding (崭露头角的)archaeologists (考古学家) of all ages, in Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong will be investigating an archaeological mystery and they need your help.
Romans
“The site is a bit of a mystery”, Frank Giecco from Wardell Armstrong said. “There is a very nice cropmark recorded on the site that has got lots of people very excited. Geophysicists (地质物理学家) failed to find anything related to the cropmark. There is anecdotal (趣闻的)evidence of Roman material being found, but nothing is officially recorded. We hope to finally answer the question of what is in this field, during the two weeks on site. Is there evidence of any Roman occupation on the site Can you help us find out
Get involved
This is an opportunity for both adults and children to take part in field walking and trial trenching (small hand-dug test pits for children). No experience is necessary, training will be provided by the professional archaeologists from Wardell Armstrong, and all equipment will be provided. Volunteers can attend for as few or as many days as they wish, but they do need to book a place. For more information, and to book your place, please contact Norman Kirtlan at sunderlandforgottenstones@.

I enjoyed being in nature. Visiting nearby natural places made me feel better when living alone in Rio de Janeiro. To find different communities that had unique relationships with nature, I moved to Manaus in the Amazon Rainforest to feel the energy of the forest and see the local people’s integration with the forest. I discovered we can have many relationships with nature that aren’t always detrimental to those places.
They took care of the land and cultivated these gardens filled with fruits and nuts we loved eating without harming the forest. I think many people unaware of how the local communities have shaped a “completely” natural space. The Amazon Rainforest is not just created by natural processes.
Doing research in the field could be a big challenge. We often went to really isolated places when doing field work in the Amazon Rainforest. We were aware that if anything happened to us, we could die. If a venomous snake were to bite you out there, you would be in a dangerous situation. We needed to manage those feelings while doing our work and collecting data.
I worked on an article about how we could engage native knowledge in conservation science. We had held small meetings with five native researchers talking about how they viewed the Amazon Rainforest and trying to understand how we could maintain the Amazon Rainforest in the future. These conversations led me to start reflecting on how we did science.
I submitted our paper to two other scientific journals before it was accepted. At the time, I didn’t feel that the article was good enough to be published in a major scientific journal like Science. I tried other journals and was rejected immediately. My coauthors and supervisors said that we had nothing to lose by submitting it to Science. We tried again and they accepted it. That experience has showed me that we need to commit ourselves to what we think we should do. We cannot give up when it comes to science. We need determination.
4. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Similar. B. Relevant. C. Harmful. D. Beneficial.
5. What impressed the author most about Manaus
A. The locals’ care for nature.
B The change of natural processes.
C. The local communities’ relationships.
D. The situation of the Amazon Rainforest.
6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s field work
A. Tiring. B. Risky. C. Costly. D. Demanding.
7. Why does the author mention the experience of submitting the paper
A. To reveal backgrounds. B. To establish credibility.
C. To highlight challenges. D. To demonstrate resolve.
C
Nearly two decades ago, Facebook exploded on college campuses as a site for students to stay in touch. Then came Twitter, where people posted about what they had for breakfast, and Instagram, where friends shared photos to keep up with one another.
Today, the kinds of posts where people update friends and family about their lives have become harder to see over the years as the biggest sites have become increasingly “corporatized (企业化的) .” Instead of seeing messages and photos from friends and relatives about their holidays or fancy dinners, users of Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and Snapchat now often view professionalized content from brands, influencers and others that pay for placement.
The change has impacted large social networking companies and how people interact with one another digitally. As big social networks made connecting people with brands a much greater focus than connecting them with other people, some users have started seeking sites targeting communities and apps devoted to specific hobbies and issues. “Platforms as we knew them are over,” said Zizi Papacharissi, a communications professor at the University of Illinois Chicago. “They have outlived their usefulness.”
The shift helps explain why some social networking companies are now exploring new fields of business. For users, this means that instead of spending all their time on one or a few big social networks, some are turning to smaller, more focused sites. These include Nextdoor, a social network for neighbors.
“It’s not about choosing one network to rule them all—that is crazy Silicon Valley logic,” said Ethan Zuckerman, a professor of public policy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “The future is that you’re a member of dozens of different communities because as human beings, that’s how we are. The idea that a new social media site might come along to be the one app for everyone appears unrealistic. People’s online identities will become increasingly fragmented (碎片化的) among multiple sites.”
8. What does the author say about the current major social networking sites
A. Their content is getting more and more lifestyle-focused.
B. Their users’ interest in professional content is decreasing.
C. They fail to provide adequate support for college communities
D. They now rarely see updates about friends’ and family’s lives.
9. What is Zizi Papacharissi’ attitude towards traditional social media platforms
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral D. Indifferent.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph about future social media usage
A. People will choose online apps more carefully.
B. People will change their online identities at will.
C. People will join numerous specialized communities.
D. People will prefer to use traditional social platforms
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. The rise of the corporatized tech giants. B. The evolution of social media platforms.
C. The history of social networking companies. D. The challenges faced by major platforms.
D
No one likes interruption. We are born to seek balance and order. No matter what it is that you are doing, being interrupted involves a forceful stop midway and then having to re-enter your former state, sometimes with great difficulty. Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break.
However, a Russian psychologist, Bluma Zeigarnik, might tell you otherwise. The connection between interruption and memory drew her attention when she was dining in a restaurant. She noticed how the waitresses had an amazing memory of the detailed orders yet to be paid for, but little memory of the orders that were already completed.
Back in her laboratory, she conducted studies in which subjects were required to complete various puzzles. Some of the subjects were interrupted during the tasks. All the subjects were then asked to describe what tasks they had done. It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. To put it another way, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!
In comparison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are highlighted in the mental to-do list our brains draw up for us. Zeigarnik described this finding in the late 1920s, which was later called Zeigarnik effect. One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are longing for them to be completed, in order to regain a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog and give the space to more upcoming tasks.
Zeigarnik’s effect can be found everywhere, especially used in media and advertising. Have you ever wondered why cliffhangers work so well or why you just can’t get yourself to stop watching that series on Netflix Ernest Hemingway once said about writing a novel, “It is the wait until the next day that is hard to get through.” So next time, when you are interrupted, appreciate it and take advantage of it to promote your productivity.
12. What is a common practice to finish a task
A. Working in a focused period. B. Working with uncommon breaks.
C. Working with a stop midway. D. Working in an interrupted session.
13. What is the finding of the Zeigarnik’s experiment
A. Interruption recalls details. B. Interruption betters memory.
C. Interruption breaks balance. D. Interruption reduces efficiency.
14. What is the possible reason behind Zeigarnik’s effect
A. The physical backlog. B. The desire for balance.
C. The outside pressure. D. The upcoming tasks.
15. Which of the following is an example of the application of Zeigarnik’s effect
A. Fashion shows. B. Talk shows. C. Online news. D. TV series.

47. 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。
It was late, about 10:15 p.m. when Janice Esposito safely arrived at the Bellport, New York, train station; she happily jumped into her little car, and couldn’t wait to begin the 20-minute drive home to see her loved husband and seven-year-old son. She had just returned from visiting her older mother in Los Angles and had traveled the route many times before. She drove on autopilot(自动驾驶) practically and skillfully: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then suddenly—wham!
Out of nowhere on that awful night a truck hit Janice’s car, violently pushing her to move backward some 100 feet away onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the car, bruised(撞伤) but mostly just knocked out by the impact and by the vehicle’s airbags.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed. He’d just closed his book, turned off the light and was lazily crawling under the covers when he heard the high-pitched clang sound of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, instantly became alert and never stopped to think. He quickly grabbed a big professional flashlight out of habit, put his own cellphone in the pocket of his pajamas(睡衣), and hurriedly ran out the door without getting changed. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he later told Newsday. “We’re always on duty.”
The first truck DiPinto came upon, 2,000 feet away from his front yard, was the one that had hit Janice, who was trapped in her car still, her eyes closed and her mind semiconscious. He looked around and spotted one wheel of Janice’s car positioned on the railroad tracks.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

“They took care of the land and cultivated these gardens filled with fruits and nuts we loved eating without harming the forest.(他们照顾土地，种植了我们喜欢吃的水果和坚果的花园，而没有伤害森林)”可知，作者发现了可以与自然建立许多关系，但这些关系并不一定对这些地方有害。所以detrimental意为“有害的”。故选C。

【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“Instead of seeing messages and photos from friends and relatives about their holidays or fancy dinners, users of Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and Snapchat now often view professionalized content from brands, influencers and others that pay for placement. (如今，Instagram、脸书、抖音、推特和Snapchat的用户常常看到来自品牌方、网红及其他付费投放者的专业内容，而不是来自亲朋好友的关于他们度假或丰盛晚餐的消息和照片。)”可知，当前主要的社交网络网站上很少看到关于朋友和家人生活的更新。故选D项。
【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“‘Platforms as we knew them are over,’ said Zizi Papacharissi, a communications professor at the University of Illinois Chicago. ‘They have outlived their usefulness.’ (‘我们所熟知平台已经结束了，’芝加哥伊利诺伊大学传播学教授Zizi Papacharissi说。‘它们已经失去了效用。’)”可知，Zizi Papacharissi认为传统的社交平台已经过时且失去了其作用，所以态度是消极的，故选B项。

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Zeigarnik效应，以及出现这种情况的原因。
【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Popular belief has it that interruption breaks the flow of your thinking and affects productivity negatively, and so it is advisable that you have an uninterrupted session of intensive work before your next break.(人们普遍认为，打断会打断你的思维，对工作效率产生负面影响，所以建议你在下次休息前进行一段不受打扰的高强度工作)”可知，完成一项任务的常见做法是精力集中地工作一段时间。故选A。
【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“It turns out that adults remembered the interrupted tasks 90% better than the completed tasks, and that children were even more likely to recall the uncompleted tasks. To put it another way, uncompleted tasks will stay on your mind until you finish them!(结果表明，成年人对被打断的任务的记忆比完成的任务高出90%，而孩子们甚至更有可能回忆起未完成的任务。换句话说，未完成的任务会一直留在你的脑海里，直到你完成它们！)”可知，Zeigarnik的实验发现“中断”能提高记忆力。故选B。
【14题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“One possible explanation is that with interrupted tasks, we are longing for them to be completed, in order to regain a sense of balance. Finishing them also means that we can finally clear up the mental backlog and give the space to more upcoming tasks.(一种可能的解释是，对于被打断的任务，我们渴望完成它们，以重新获得平衡感。完成它们也意味着我们最终可以清理心理积压，为更多即将到来的任务腾出空间)”可知，Zeigarnik效应可能的一个原因是渴望平衡。故选B。
【15题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In comparison to tasks that were already finished and ones that we haven’t even started, half-done projects are highlighted in the mental to-do list our brains draw up for us.(与已经完成的任务和还没有开始的任务相比，完成了一半的项目会在我们大脑为我们制定的待办事项清单中突出显示)”可推知，看电视连续剧是Zeigarnik效应应用的一个例子，因为电视连续剧的剧集有时间间隔，导致人们被“中断”，以至于时刻想着看剧这件事。故选D。
16. F 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. E
【解析】本文为一篇说明文，讨论了“内疚的快感”这一概念，即人们在犒劳自己时可能会感到内疚，但心理学家认为这种行为实际上可以提升情绪并照顾自己。文章还区分了自我放纵和自我培养的概念，并讨论了如何在面对压力时做出负责任的决定。
【16题详解】前文“You might have heard of the expression “a guilty pleasure”—maybe it’s the chocolate bar you buy on the way home from work, or the new clothes that you don’t really need.(你可能听说过“内疚的快感”这个表达——也许是你下班回家路上买的巧克力棒，或者是你并不真正需要的新衣服)”引出“内疚的快感”这个概念，F选项“它来自于这样一种观点：当我们善待自己时，有时会让我们感到内疚”为对于前文概念来源的解释，与后文“Perhaps we don’t feel we deserved it, or we don’t think it was a responsible way to spend our money.(也许我们觉得我们不配，或者我们不认为这是一种负责任的花钱方式)”相呼应，it指代“购物善待自己”。故选F。
【17题详解】前文“Psychologists have suggested that buying things for yourself can make you feel better as it provides an opportunity to take control of your situation.(心理学家表明，为自己买东西可以让你感觉更好，因为它提供了一个控制自己处境的机会)”表明心理学家说明为什么给自己买东西会让自我感觉更好，后文“It may be that as well as lifting your mood, when you buy a treat, you might just be looking after yourself.(当你买东西的时候，除了能让你心情好起来，你可能只是在照顾自己)”表示给自己购物的好处和潜在意图，G选项“它可以给你社会联系，也可以从你对自我形象的改变中增强自信”为解释前文心理学家的观点，说明给自己购物的好处，且句型与后文It may be that as well as构成并列关系。故选G。
【18题详解】前文“Psychologist Leon Seltzer considers the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurturing.(心理学家Leon Seltzer考虑了自我放纵和自我培养的区别)”提到了心理学家看待两者之间的区别，结合后文“while self-nurturing is taking responsible decisions to satisfy our needs and take care of ourselves in ways that don’t have a significant impact.(而自我培养是做出负责任的决定来满足我们的需求，并以不产生重大影响的方式照顾好自己)”说明自我培养的特点可知，空处应说明自我放纵的问题，B选项“自我放纵会带来负面后果”与后文谈及自我培养形成对比。故选B。
【19题详解】根据后文“So, many universities publish guides with advice for coping with exam stress.(因此，许多大学出版了应对考试压力的指南)”可知，空处应说明，大学为什么出版考试压力指南，结合上文讲到“自我培养”和“自我放纵”的区别可知，C选项“当学生应对考试压力时，这种差异就变得明显了”承上启下，符合语境。故选C。
【20题详解】前文“Reflecting the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurture, they recommend rewarding yourself for your efforts, doing things that you enjoy and are good at so that you can feel accomplishment.(他们建议对自己的努力给予奖励，做自己喜欢和擅长的事情，这样你就能感受到成就感，这反映了自我放纵和自我培养之间的区别)”表示学校指南的建议，后文“Thus, perhaps, as long as we make responsible decisions, we shouldn’t feel guilty about our guilty pleasures.(因此，也许，只要我们做出负责任的决定，我们就不应该对我们的罪恶感感到内疚)”表示我们应负责任地做决定，E选项“此外，你应该避免那些可能会让你事后感觉更糟的事情”与上一句的建议为并列的递进关系，同样表示建议，符合结构，与文章的整体观点一致，强调负责任地对待自己的行为。故选E。

47. 参考范文
And then he heard a terrible sound: the bells signaling an oncoming train. DiPinto’s heart froze in his chest as he realized the upcoming danger. Without any delay, he rushed towards Janice’s car. After quickly assessing the situation, despite the huge potential risk, DiPinto swiftly smashed open the car’s window with his big professional flashlight, swung open the door and mightily pulled Janice out of the vehicle before it was too late. The speeding train was roaring towards the car like a monster in times of crisis.
The heavy train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, crashed into the car. With a loud bang, the car was knocked off. Some flying debris shooting in all directions, DiPinto instinctively protected Janice from being hurt again with his own body. Fortunately, they both narrowly escaped! DiPinto calmly dialed 911 and it didn’t take long before Janice was rushed to hospital. Thanks to DiPinto’s heroic rescue, Janice had a near brush with death. Afterward, DiPinto was reported and awarded “A Hero in Pajamas” to honor his fearless and selfless actions.
