In my mid-20s, I found myself in one of the most terrible relationships of my life. Looking for a solution, I bought my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed (治愈) of anything if I got rid of my limiting beliefs. I finished it in days, and found even though I was still the same depressed, broke, single mother, I was fascinated.
Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses, and apps, and followed every self-styled personal improvement adviser on social media, hoping to find happiness, confidence, and love. Some advice was gentle and obvious: “Talk kindly to yourself; get enough sleep.” Others were dangerous, encouraging me to spend more money than I could afford to show wealth or to ignore my health problems to feel healthy.
After my father’s death in 2022, my dependency grew stronger. I spent a large amount of time reading about how to grieve (哀悼) and get through the pain, but not doing the things that would actually make me feel better: sitting with my feelings, allowing myself to cry, and processing the loss. Although I followed the guidance, nothing improved. I couldn’t help but feel that not achieving results was my personal failing, rather than the industry’s broken promises.
Gradually, I realized that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. And a deep conversation with a loved one made me recognize that in trying to change my life, I was attempting to change aspects of myself that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I knew I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was.
Since quitting self-help, I’ve realized that focusing all your energy on self-improvement can drain(消耗) the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I have got to a certain stage can I feel contentment; only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop you from unconditionally accepting your imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I finally understand that perhaps I never needed fixing at all.
24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph
A. Why the self-help book failed to work for her.
B. Why she turned to self-help books in her mid-20s.
C. How she got inspiration from self-help books.
D. How the self-help book saved her from depression.
25. What did the author think of self-help books at last
A. Beneficial. B. Ineffective. C. Unreasonable. D. Insightful.
26. What change did the author make in the end
A. She sought medical treatment.
B. She tried new self-help methods.
C. She began to accept her true self.
D. She followed more advisers.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. You can Always Find Advice in Self-help Books.
B. You can’t Just Read Self-help Books but not Practice.
C. You should Find the Right Self-help Book for Yourself.
D. You don’t Need Self-help Books to be Better.
C
When geneticist Elizabeth Clare placed 70 small filters (过滤器) around England’s Hamerton Zoo Park last year, she intended for the traps to collect DNA from the sky. What she didn’t know, however, was that led by Kristine Bohmann, another team was conducting a similar experiment in the Copenhagen Zoo.
Wild animals are usually studied indirectly through clues that they leave behind, like fur, feathers or waste. That means certain animals — especially the small, fast and shy ones — are often missed in traditional wildlife surveys. Because all living organisms shed DNA into the air of the environment they live in, the two research groups hoped they could use those genetic traces, called eDNA, to find out what animals frequent an area.
One of the biggest challenges of working with airborne eDNA is avoiding contamination (污染) from other sources, which could muddle(弄乱)results. “The zoo becomes this perfect environment where we know everything that we’re detecting has only one possible source,” says Clare. “My lab doesn’t handle tiger DNA ever, so if we’re detecting a tiger, there is no other source.”
To see if eDNA could be detected in the air, both teams placed filters in different zoo enclosures, including both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Bohmann’s group collected 40 air samples in three locations around the Copenhagen Zoo. They also tested three different air sampling devices. Clare’s group took a similar approach but instead used just one type of air pump.
Though both groups were optimistic that their idea could work, they were still shocked at their results. In the 40 samples that Bohmann’s group collected, they successfully found 49 species including mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. “We had no idea that this would actually work so well,” says Bohmann. Clare’s team also identified DNA from more than two dozen different species of animals from their samples, including tigers, lemurs and dingoes.
“It’s really exciting looking at how both of these papers have produced the same results,” says Mark Johnson, who studies eDNA at Texas Tech University. While hopeful about the future of airborne eDNA, Johnson notes huge leaps need to be made before the techniques used in the zoo can be applied in the field. Collecting eDNA in the wild adds a host of new variables. “The next step is to take it from the zoo into the natural environment and see what we find there,” says Johnson.
28. What did the two teams of scientists try to do
A. To study zoo animals’ DNA in detail.
B. To detect animals from DNA in the air.
C. To improve zoo environments for animals.
D. To compare DNAs of different zoo animals.
29. Why did the scientists choose the zoo for their study
A. Because the air there was much cleaner.
B. Because there were many useful resources in it.
C. Because they expected to find a tiger DNA there.
D. Because it could ensure the accuracy of the results.
30. What can we learn about the two groups’ findings
A. They needed to be further proved.
B. They depended greatly on the devices.
C. They were far beyond the scientists’ expectations.
D. They failed to support the scientists’ idea about eDNA.
31. What’s Mark Johnson’s attitude towards the future of eDNA
A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Mildly doubtful.
C. Somewhat opposed. D. Completely supportive.
D
There’s an intrinsic (固有的) desire amongst most people to explore our planet. There’s this sense in modern society that somehow we will find a better existence or we’ll find happiness by going on holiday. I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so.
There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind, because a lot of people are constantly thinking: “How am I going to present myself to my social media group back home through my posts on Facebook or Instagram ”
But this is just one side of the problem. On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment. It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may triple (增至三倍) by 2050.
I admit that there has been a considerable increase in people’s awareness about the environment. And some people say that this can eventually lead to a shift in our behavior as tourists. However, I can’t share their optimism. A lot of research has been done into the extent to which tourists are willing to adapt their behavior. And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco-guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly.
I’m old enough to remember when tourism was just the summer holiday, and you would look forward to those two weeks a year when you would go on holiday. It was special and meaningful, but nowadays it is so easy to travel. Travel is now seen as a right, not as a privilege. However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it. Also, only in this way can many problems arising with the development of tourism be properly solved.
32. What is the problem with most tourists according to the author
A. They don’t care about our planet at all.
B. They post too many photos on social media.
C. They can hardly find the right place to explore.
D. They fail to have a meaningful traveling experience.
33. What does the underlined part “taken a toll on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Improved. B. Damaged. C. Saved. D. Shaped.
34. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Tourists can hardly be affected by environmental awareness.
B. Tourists are unaware of the effect of their behavior.
C. Tourists’ environmental awareness has been increased.
D. Tourists find it hard to travel without harming the environment.
35. Why does the author hope airline tickets will be more expensive
A. To limit the development of tourism.
B. To create a sense of equality in society.
C. To help people value their traveling experience.
D. To make people less excited about travelling.

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 modern society, many retired people are lonely, isolated and lack purpose while many young people have their own problems. 36 Or they may wish to live independently but be unable to pay the high rents in their area.
37 It involves bringing older and younger people together for mutual (互相的) support. After all, “the aged” represent a huge untapped（未被利用的） resource: they include retired engineers, doctors, teachers and business people with years of experience and expertise. 38
In some projects, retired people help out in primary schools, to hear children read and offer
them individual support. Similar projects are run in secondary schools and even universities.
Other projects involve sending children and teenagers into old people’s homes on a regular basis to teach them “digital skills”, to entertain them or simply befriend them and listen to their stories and advice. 39 The student can either live rent-free in exchange for household chores（家务杂活）and support for the homeowner, or they can pay a reduced rent in exchange for chatting with the older person regularly and keeping an eye on their health and well-being.
Intergenerational volunteering projects have had a truly significant impact on both sides. By bringing together people of different generations and socioeconomic backgrounds, they have built trust, respect and friendship. 40
A. These are essential for the fabric of society.
B. Studies have shown that retired people can still contribute to society.
C. Intergenerational volunteering can provide a solution to these problems.
D. Volunteering may even help young people discover a new interest or passion for life.
E. They may face the challenge of finding a job without work experience or practical skills.
F. Young people, too, have valuable skills to share, most obviously their up-to-date knowledge of technology.
G. Elsewhere, there are projects that match university students with wealthy elderly people who have spare rooms.

The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned coal stove. A little boy had the job of coming to school early each day to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and classmates arrived.
One morning they arrived to find the schoolhouse in flames.
They dragged the unconscious little boy out of the burning building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to the nearby county hospital.
From his bed the terribly burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would possibly die for the terrible fire had damaged the lower half of his body.
But the brave boy didn’t want to die. He made up his mind that he would survive. Somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. When the mortal(致命的) danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly. The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in his legs, he was doomed (注定)to be unable to walk properly with no use at all of his lower limbs.
Once more the brave boy made up his mind. He would walk. But unfortunately from the waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just dangled (悬垂) there, all but lifeless.
Ultimately he was released from the hospital. Every day his mother would massage his little legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing. Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever.
When he wasn’t in bed, he was confined(离不开) to a wheelchair. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard with a fence around its edge to get some fresh air.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

This day, instead of sitting still, he threw himself from the chair. As he hit the ground, a sharp pain shot through his body, but his gaze immediately locked onto the fence at the edge of the yard. His mother rushed to his side, but he waved her away. With great determination, he began to crawl towards the fence. The grass seemed to be an obstacle course, but he persevered. Every inch he moved was a battle against his damaged body. Finally, he reached the fence, his hands grasping the rough wood.
Using the fence as his support, he raised himself up slowly. His arms trembled with the effort, but he held on to it tightly. With every ounce of strength he had, he took a shaky step. His mother watched with tears streaming down her face. From that day on, he persisted in training himself and his progress accelerated. Ultimately through his mother’s daily massages, his iron persistence and his great determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, and then to walk by himself. It is the power of determination that makes the impossible possible.江苏省南京市2024-2025学年第二学期六校联合体2月联合调研

读后续写
This day, instead of sitting still, he threw himself from the chair. As he hit the ground, a sharp pain shot through his body, but his gaze immediately locked onto the fence at the edge of the yard. His mother rushed to his side, but he waved her away. With great determination, he began to crawl towards the fence. The grass seemed to be an obstacle course, but he persevered. Every inch he moved was a battle against his damaged body. Finally, he reached the fence, his hands grasping the rough wood.
Using the fence as his support, he raised himself up slowly. His arms trembled with the effort, but he held on to it tightly. With every ounce of strength he had, he took a shaky step. His mother watched with tears streaming down her face. From that day on, he persisted in training himself and his progress accelerated. Ultimately through his mother’s daily massages, his iron persistence and his great determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, and then to walk by himself. It is the power of determination that makes the impossible possible.

W: I’m really glad to see so many people signed up for this workshop. With graduation coming up soon, I know that many of you are preparing to enter the workforce for the first time. Job interviews can be an enormously stressful experience, but like most things, interviewing is a skill, not a talent, and a little practice goes a long way.
I know many of you feel nervous just at the thought of being interviewed, but you need to remember that you’ve been invited for an interview because your potential employers think you’d be suitable for the job. So, have a little confidence in yourself. The best thing you can do is be prepared and professional, which will help you make a strong first impression.
Before an interview, you should always review your résumé and application, which is why I asked you all to bring an outline of your achievements, academic or otherwise, up to now. You’ll be needing that later. Once your résumé is solid, then you can start preparing for possible interview questions. I’m going to hand out a list of those questions now. You need to think about how you’d answer each of them. Don’t bother making notes — you can’t bring notes to an interview. OK, that’s all, does anyone have any questions for me
