At firstglance, it seems harmless — motivational, even. But dig deeper, and you’ll find these statements can often serve to stopprogress, mask deeper problems, or encourage (1) ______ (healthy) workplace norms.Understanding (2) ______ we fall for bad advice is the first step in resisting it.In workplaces, those in a high social position often increase the influence of certain voices. A boss’s suggestion,however misguided, can feel like an instruction (3) ______ ______ a choice. Research shows that people are more likelyto follow advice when it comes from someone they perceive as an expert, (4) ______ ______ the advice isn’t consistentwith their own judgment.A concept I (5) ______ (research) extensively, insinuation anxiety, is the discomfort we feel when signaling thatsomeone might be wrong or untrustworthy. Rejecting advice directly can also risk social negative feedback. This anxietykeeps many of us silent, (6) ______ (lead) us to follow advice we do not trust.Every time we act on bad advice, we sacrifice (7) ______ — our time, our resources, or our confidence. Breakingthe cycle of following bad advice doesn’t mean rejecting all guidance — it means learning to evaluate advice criticallyand match it to your goals and values. Here’s how to start:Pause before you actWhen (8) ______ (face) with advice, take a moment to assess it.Giving yourself this space allows you to move from a reactive response to a thoughtful one. When I finallyquestioned the advice to “just be patient,” I realized it (9) ______ (hold) me back. By taking proactive steps — seekingmentors outside of the workplace and pursuing my values — I started shaping my own career path, and you can do thesame.Trust your expertiseRemember, you bring your own knowledge and experience to the table. If advice conflicts with your betterjudgment, trust yourself to make the call. Research shows that people feel more, not less, guilty when they follow advice(10) ______ they know is wrong and a bad outcome occurs.第 1 页 共 11 页Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Currently, just 10-15% of the plastic waste we generate annually isrecycled — with the rest burned, buried in landfill or dumped as (11) ______.A big part of the problem is that much of the waste is a pile of different dirty plastics mixed with food, inks andlabels. It’s expensive to clean and (12) ______ this mess into streams of single-polymer plastic — the kind that isgenerally needed for conventional “mechanical” recycling, in which plastic is cut, melted and re-formed into small balls,ready for new products.That explains the excitement around a chemical plant that will start (13) ______ operations this year in northeastEngland. It can, (14) ______, take any kind of plastic waste, including mixed plastics considered “unrecyclable”, andbreak it down into chemicals that are similar to those extracted from oil. With further processing, these chemicals can beturned back into fresh plastic. If successful, it could be a powerful example of a circular manufacturing process — inwhich plastic is used and reprocessed over and over again — potentially (15) ______ the world’s dependence on fossilresources to make original plastics.The facility uses a variation on a concept called chemical recycling, which breaks plastics apart into smallerchemical building blocks. Its main competitor in this approach is pyrolysis: heating plastics to temperatures above450 °C in a reactor without oxygen. But pyrolysis is energy-intensive and (16) ______, with much of the plastic beingturned into something useless.Mura Technology, the London-based company behind the facility, says it is the first commercial-scale plant in theworld to recycle plastic in this way.Mura has also declared the technology to be “(17) ______” because it “has the potential to help eliminate plasticwaste, recycling all types of plastic to create a true circular economy”.In practice, as Mura explains, the plant is currently picky about its (18) ______ of plastic waste. And because, aswith pyrolysis plants, not all of the facility’s products will be (19) ______ as plastic, some critics say that the processshouldn’t count as recycling — an accusation that Mura rejects.These practicalities raise questions about the future of plastics pollution and whether chemical recycling can live upto its promised potential. The idea is not useless — but the real-life complications around the process make it lessgroundbreaking than (20) ______.第 2 页 共 11 页II. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill ineach blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Compliments are no straightforward matter and require skills and knowledge. Done well, words of praise can be__21__ for human relations at home and at work. But done poorly, compliments can be ineffective, even destructive.What follows is a research-based guide to tell you what kind of compliments are __22__.Whether the compliment is effective in __23__ the other person depends on whether it is believable, appropriate,and unqualified. To begin with, a good compliment must not __24__ with its recipient’s self-image. If you tell me myhair looks good, I will dismiss it and suspect your __25__, because I have no hair on the head. More generally, peoplewith low self-esteem don’t usually receive compliments well, probably because the compliment does not ring true withtheir negative view of themselves, and so they __26__ it.Even if a compliment agrees with one’s self-image, scholars writing in 2022 in Current Psychology concluded, itmust meet three criteria to be accepted by its __27__. The praise must come from a person with credibility to give it, itmust be sincere and unplanned, and it must occur in the appropriate __28__.Consider, for example, how you’d respond to an excessive compliment from a salesperson you’d never met abouthow smart you are when you’re __29__ a particular purchase. You’d probably find that kind of compliment annoying,because the person doesn’t know you well enough to judge your true __30__ and is simply praising you to make a sale.The compliment fails on all three counts: the praiser lacks credibility, their sincerity is suspect, and your willingnessto spend money in a store is not a meaningful context for __31__ your intelligence.Some compliments are not just ineffective; they actually cause harm. My Harvard colleagues have conductedresearch into backhanded praise, which puts someone down by comparing their good quality with a negative __32__. Anexample of a destructive compliment would be “You look pretty good for a guy with no hair on the head” — not that I’minsecure or anything — because this sets such a low __33__ on the praise.Other ways to give negative praise include comparisons with past __34__ (“This draft is certainly better than thelast one”), with poor expectations (“Your work is better than I expected”), and with a conventional conception (“Thiswork isn’t bad for a Yale graduate”).In their experiments, the authors found that the complimenters thought these backhanded comparisons were __35__,but both recipients and third-party observers disagreed.21.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according tothe information given in the passage you have just read.(A)On a sunny Sunday morning, I went to my first ballet class. But I didn’t do any dancing. This was Class on Stage, arare opportunity to watch dancers warm up during their daily 75-minute class. I went in knowing that I would beimpressed by the physicality of it. Top athletes aren’t born; they’re made.Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired. While watching dancers quietly plie (下蹲屈膝)with complete control was calming, watching the floor exercises that came next was anything but. The sequences wereshort but became increasingly complicated, so I stopped paying attention to the directions I couldn’t follow, and simplyallowed myself to observe the remarkable results. At the end of the class, I applauded and watched the dancers leave thestage. They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in complete awe, not just of my inadequacy,but also of their effort.As I headed home I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life. Somuch has been made easier by technology: I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty muchanything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts,maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing hard things, they become easier, and then you knowyou can do them.With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: Iget back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write theessay.Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day. They inspire me. So, I guesswhat I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it.36. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the ballet class is TRUE A. The writer learned a lot of ballet moves.B. The floor exercises calmed the writer down.C. Despite the physicality, the dancers didn’t look tired.D. The dancers did their warm-up for 45 minutes that day.37. At the end of the class, how did the writer feel A. She felt impressed by the dancers’ efforts.B. She felt ashamed of her lack of willpower.C. She felt confident of overcoming life’s challenges.D. She felt regretful about not trying hard enough at ballet.38. By mentioning the technology that has made life easier, the writer means that ______.A. modern technology is to blame for people’s taking shortcutsB. technology can help people work better and more efficientlyC. people should avoid using technology to enjoy the simplicity of lifeD. technology offers us shortcuts, which prevents us from seeking challenges39. What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson A. We need to push ourselves forward by looking for challenges.B. Hard things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them.C. Fitness classes can make people physically and mentally strong.D. Watching others practice ballet is a good way to improve ourselves.第 4 页 共 11 页(B)The Annual Ig Nobel Prizes Honor Special Scientific AchievementsOn Sept 12, the 2024 Ig Nobel Prizes were awarded in the US. Created in 1991 by Marc Abrahams, a writer in theUS, these prizes honor scientific studies that “make people laugh, then think”. Here are some winners from this year.Not as old as you thinkA healthy diet and good genes have contributed to higher life expectancy around the world. But there is alsosomething else, such as mistakes in demographic (人口的) data and possible pension fraud.Saul Justin Newman from the UK found almost 80 percent of the people over 110 years old have no birth certificate.In the US, over 500 people claim to be over 110, but only seven have birth certificates.So the number of very old people might be exaggerated. Some people may even be lying about their birth for morepension.“Side effect” of side effectsMedicine often has side effects that add to patients’ discomfort. So a perfect treatment should have no side effectsat all, right Not necessarily. A team led by Lieven Schenk in Germany did an experiment. They made two fake medicines.Neither could reduce pain, and the second type could cause a burning feeling in the nose. The team then asked 77healthy volunteers to randomly take one of the medicines, after which they would receive a “dose” of pain.The scientists found that those taking the second type of medicine reported less pain. They had felt the burning andtook it as a sign of the medicine “working”. The research showed that in such cases, side effects may not be a bad thing.Plant that can “see” and imitateIn 2013, scientists discovered a strange vine called Boquila trifoliolata (勃奎拉藤). It could change the shape of itsleaves to look like other plants nearby. Jacob White in the US and Felipe Yamashita in Germany wanted to know why.They planted the vine under a shelf, and placed a plastic plant above the shelf. As the vine grew taller, only the part of itthat reached over the shelf looked like the plastic plant.Therefore, the scientists suggested that some plants could “see” what’s happening around them and imitate theshapes of neighboring plants.40. Which of the following statements about the Ig Nobel Prizes is TRUE A. The Ig Nobel Prizes are held every three years.B. The 2024 Ig Nobel Prizes were intended to remember the founder.C. The Ig Nobel Prizes honor amusing but inspiring scientific studies.D. The 2024 Ig Nobel Prizes have three winners covering different fields.41. Which of the following is a reason for the growing number of very old people worldwide A. Economic development enables people to live longer.B. People claim to be older in order to get their birth certificate.C. Amajority of the supposed old people can’t prove their real age.D. Older people are so forgetful that they don’t remember their birth date.42. By doing the “side-effect” experiment on volunteers, scientists find that ______.A. side effects of a medicine are annoying and unavoidableB. the second type of medicine is more effective than the firstC. the two fake medicines can actually work to relieve the painD. the side effects can lead people to think that the medicine works第 5 页 共 11 页(C)Last year, Roche, a Swiss drug company, published a review of the clinical trials on neurological drugs it had heldbetween 2016 and 2021. It found that black people were under-represented in all but one. Surprisingly, that newsrepresents progress, because it shows that trial organisers are becoming more aware of a dangerous bias that sets back thesafety and effect of medical treatments.Many trials exclude certain groups, and do so deliberately — children, for example, or people with physical orlearning disabilities, pregnant women and the elderly.____________ A recent review found that half of trials around the world testing hip-fracture (髋部骨折 )interventions excluded people who lived in nursing homes, were old or had some level of cognitive disorder. Thoughthese groups make up almost a third of all patients suffering hip fractures, it is unclear if the interventions will work assafely or as effectively on them. Their doctors face an envious choice: prescribe anyway, with uncertain results; or denytheir patients new treatments.Obtaining informed permission for trials is not always easy, especially from people with learning disabilities ordementia (痴呆). Accounting for different groups’ risks of side-effects can complicate the analysis of the data. And somegroups mistrust doctors because of a history of mistreatment, which makes it harder to involve them in the trial.Even so, broadening the range of trials’ participants can be practically useful, because they may lead to new medicalinsights. Running trials on people who are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s, such as those with Down’s syndrome,might help researchers test whether their drugs work preventively.Something like that happened with the Dallas Heart Study in the 2000s. As a large piece of epidemiologicalresearch, it included an racially representative sample of people and found a genetic variant in some African-Americanswhich was related to 40% lower bad cholesterol (胆固醇). That gene is now one of the foremost drug targets in the fightagainst cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.Fortunately, the bias of clinical testing may be changing. Almost half of trial participants in America are nowwomen (in the rest of the world it is still only 40%). America and Britain look likely to publish regulations that requiretrial organisers to explain whom they ought to include and how they plan to involve them.43. According to the review, what is the current problem with clinical trials A. They target specific groups while excluding some people.B. They test for side effects of the drugs, so they are not useful enough.C. They are not suitable for every patient because of their physical conditions.D. They don’t produce safe or effective results, thus discouraging lots of people.44. Which sentence best fits the blank in paragraph 3 A. Yet the consequences can be ridiculous. B. However, it is happening for good reasons.C. Therefore, it brings convenience to doctors. D. Moreover, the groups can enjoy better treatments.45. In the example of the Dallas Heart Study, what does “something like that” in paragraph 6 refer to A. Running trials on the target patients can help researchers.B. Broadening the range of trials’ participants avoids mistreatments.C. Testing the effectiveness of the drug helps prevent certain diseases.D. Involving a wider range of participants in trials leads to new medical insights.46. What can be inferred from the last paragraph A. There will be no bias in clinical testing very soon.B. Women used to be under-represented in clinical trials.C. Regulations on subjects in clinical trials have come into effect.D. Clinical trials are increasingly improving, thus attracting women.第 6 页 共 11 页Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence canbe used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Comparatively, more people are killed by livestock (牲口).B. The hunting for wolves has initiated long-lasting debates among researchers and policymakers.C. This is despite the fact that attacks on livestock have declined sharply while wolf numbers have increased.D. We should stay alert to occasional wolf attacks on humans.E. So why can’t we be as sympathetic and enlightened about predator conservation as they are F. There’s no denying that wolves occasionally attack livestock.Europe’s War on Predators (食肉动物): AMisguided ApproachWe Europeans are incapable of living alongside predators. We expect people in Africa and Asia to share their homeswith lions, tigers, Komodo dragons and a host of other potentially dangerous animals without question. ____47____Wolves in Europe, for example, are under the spotlight. Following reintroductions and careful protection, there arenow 21,500 of these awesome animals across the continent. But as numbers increase, there is a rising tide of opposition.Even Switzerland is undergoing an effort to eliminate 70 per cent of its wolf population (currently 300 animals in 32packs). ____48____ The Norwegian government, meanwhile, seems determined to limit its wolf population to just a fewbreeding pairs — which it says is enough to keep them from extinction. More accurately, it will push them to the edge ofextinction.____49____ But there are tried-and-tested ways of reducing the problem: boosting the availability of natural prey,electric fencing and the use of guard dogs among them. Many countries even have “wolf administrators”, who helpfarmers to protect their stock, and there is generous compensation for any predation.They’re not dangerous to people, either. According to the European Commission’s own 2023 investigative report onwolf attacks, “although wolves can attack humans, no fatal wolf attacks on people have been recorded in the past 40years”. ____50____There is a bigger picture here. Predators earn their keep through wildlife tourism and they are keystone species vitalin maintaining the health and balance of ecosystems. It’s not all about farmers and hunters. There has to be some middleground.第 7 页 共 11 页III. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.51.Are Big Cities Overrated Judged by their revealed preferences, people love cities. Metropolises such as London and New York areovercrowded, with house prices to match. Across the world, 25% of people live in cities of over a million, up from just15% six decades ago.Economists tend to think this is a great development. Cities, they argue, benefit from “agglomeration”, theconsequence of so many people living in close quarters. For one thing, government and businesses can run moreefficiently: scale helps everything from public transport to the hiring of staff. For another, finding the next big idea iseasier when like-minded people crowd together. Although London makes up 15% of Britain’s population, it accounts for22% of its economic output.But have economists overestimated the benefits of big cities That is what a new working paper by Matthew Turnerand David Weil, both of Brown University, suggests. Their analysis applies existing estimates of the impact ofagglomeration on economic efficiency and the pace of invention to a model of the American economy. This allows theresearchers to answer a question: how different would America look if, from 1900 to 2010, no urban area had grown to apopulation of more than 1 million people According to their calculations, the answer is “not all that much”. Growth would have been slower, but only a bit:the researchers estimate that America’s total output would have been 8% lower in 2010 than it was in reality. As Mr. Weilputs it: “Without big cities, we would still have modern life as we know it.”There is plenty about city life that is unpleasant. In September, for instance, Eric Adams, New York’s mayor,organized a “National Urban Rat Summit”, as part of his “war on rats”. It’s evident that big cities don’t just offer growth;they come with their own sets of drawbacks and challenges as well.第 8 页 共 11 页IV.
