In her novel Great Circle — a best-seller now among readers — Maggie Shipstead wrote the adventure of a missing 1950s female pilot and a film actress hired to play her. Below, Shipstead recommends three other books about the sea or sky.
A Voyage for Madmen(2001) This is an exciting account of a 1968-69 round-the-world sailing adventure, in which nine men set out together but only one succeeded in finishing the task at last.

Rollins College’s graduate, Elizabeth Bonker gave a powerful speech at the school’s graduation ceremony using text-to-speech technology. “You have a voice. Use it,” she advised graduates. It seems funny that a non-speaking autistic (孤独症患者) encourages you to use your voice. However, her moving speech touched not only her fellow classmates but also the worldwide audience with a powerful message of hope.
Throughout her academic career, Elizabeth has studied hard to reach her goals at school and in life. She wrote a book, I Am in Here, which highlights the abilities of people like her with non-speaking autism. She also founded a non-profit organization called Communication 4 All.
Elizabeth has a form of autism that resulted in her losing the ability to speak when she was 15 months old. After she lost her speech her family helped her learn to communicate by typing. She has become a supporter of assistive communication and typing instruction for those with non-speaking autism.
“I have typed this speech with one finger with a communication partner holding a keyboard,” shared Elizabeth. She gave her persuasive speech through text-to-speech technology.
Elizabeth majored in social service with the purpose of helping the 31 million people in the world who have non-speaking autism. She strongly believes that service to others gives meaning to each individual and to those they serve.
Throughout her life, Elizabeth has sought a platform where others would hear and accept her. She ignored negative comments and the low expectations others had for her life. Instead, she walked down her own path and set out to realize her dreams using intellect, talent and determination. She encouraged her fellow classmates to use their education and the power of their own minds to help make their dream a reality.

Chewing uses a surprising amount of energy. An experiment that looked at the energy use associated with chewing gum (口香糖) found that it can increase bodily energy use by up to 15 per cent.
Adam van Casteren at the University of Manchester in the UK and his colleagues measured energy use in 21 people between 18 and 45 years old as they chewed gum for 15 minutes.
The gum was tasteless and calorie-free. “This way it doesn’t activate the digestive (消化的) system to the same extent as it otherwise would,” says van Casteren. “We wanted to measure just chewing or as close to chewing as we could get.
Each participant (参与者) was asked to chew two types of gum- one soft and the other tough-so they could compare the effects of the gum’s properties (性能) on the participants’ energy uses.
Energy use was measured using a plastic dome (半球形物) covering the participants’ heads. A monitor inside the dome measured oxygen intake and the amount of carbon dioxide released. “You can use this information to figure out how much energy is being used,” says van Casteren.
Before the experiment, the participants had all worn the plastic dome while they sat watching a film in order for the researchers to acquire their base level energy uses. The researchers found that chewing the soft gum raised energy use by about 10 per cent, while chewing the tougher gum increased this use by around 15 per cent. Van Casteren says it’s interesting that a small change in the properties of the gum had such a notable effect on energy use.
He says he expects the energy used to chew real food will be even larger as many foods such as steak and nuts require a lot of effort to break down. “I want to look at how much energy chewing nuts and seeds uses next,” he says.
28. Which aspect of chewing gum does Adam van Casteren study
A. The taste and calorie of gum.
B. The participants of chewing gum.
C. The softness and hardness of gum.
D. The energy use involved in chewing gum.
29. Why is the tasteless and calorie-free gum used
A. To make chewing healthy.
B. To make the study objective.
C. To save energy in chewing it.
D. To protect the digestive system.
30. What is the function of the monitor in a plastic dome
A. Researchers use it to fix the participants’ heads.
B. To measure oxygen and carbon dioxide in the gum.
C. Researchers can use it to collect information.
D. To work out the energy used during the research.
31. How does the author support his view in Paragraph 6
A. By doing a survey. B. By giving examples.
C. By citing references. D. By making a comparison.
D
Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of J2% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams cither to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
32. What may the students start worrying about before an exam
A. Whether they can pass the exams.
B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials.
D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
33. What is the solution developed by researchers
A. Asking the students to ignore the test.
B. Asking the students to focus on the test.
C. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
D. Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
34. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ________.
A. became less nervous before the test
B. were better at controlling their feelings
C. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
D. did better than those who wrote about their feelings
35. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit
B. We can only write about our worries right before an exam.
C. The best place to write about our worries is in the test room.
D. It doesn’t matter where we write about our worries before an exam.

67. 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。
Lin Wei, a quiet and reserved high school student from a small town in Hunan province, China. Her secret passion was traditional Chinese dance. But she lacked confidence, always feeling awkward and out of place. The only person who truly understood her was Mei, her classmate and friend. Mei, with her outgoing personality, had a deep appreciation of different arts and cultures, and often spoke of how art could connect people across boundaries.
One day, Mei excitedly told Lin Wei about an opportunity: a cultural exchange program in Brazil during the Carnival season. The program was looking for students to showcase their talents and share their cultural heritage. Mei, a talented singer of traditional Chinese folk songs, was already planning to try out. “Lin Wei, you should come too!” she urged. “Your Chinese dance is beautiful! It would be a perfect way to share our culture.”
Lin Wei hesitated. The thought of performing in front of a large audience, especially in a foreign country, terrified her. She imagined herself stumbling, forgetting the steps, and being laughed at. What if they don’t understand my dance What if it’s too different These thoughts went around in her mind. But Mei didn’t give up. She helped Lin Wei choose a beautiful piece of traditional Chinese music, helped her find a flowing silk costume with wide sleeves, and even practiced with her, offering encouragement and support, focusing on expressing the emotions behind the movements. She reminded Lin Wei of how art, even without words, could tell stories and touch hearts. Slowly, Lin Wei’s worry began to give way to a flicker of excitement.
Arriving in Rio, Lin Wei was overwhelmed by Carnival’s explosion of color and energy. She felt a wave of panic. The confidence she’d built with Mei began to fall apart. The dazzling Samba dancers, their movements so fluid and powerful, made her doubt herself even more. Could my quiet, subtle movements ever find a place here She held Mei’s hand tightly, feeling small and insignificant.
Their first performance was scheduled for the next day. Lin Wei spent the evening in her hotel room, practicing her dance routine, but her heart wasn’t in it. The fear was back, stronger than ever. She looked at her reflection, seeing a scared girl, not a confident performer.
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。
The next morning, Lin Wei was shaking backstage as she prepared for her performance.

Right now, you all have short-term ID. Those will only last until the end of the week, when classes start. After that, you’ll need your long-term Bryce College ID — to get onto campus, to use the library, and a lot of other things. And to get your long-term ID, you’ll need to go to the student administration office, which is on the ground floor of the main building — don’t worry, I’ll show you where that is. Now, you have short-term ID until the end of the week, but I wouldn’t wait until then if I were you. To get your long-term ID, you need to show your acceptance letter from the college plus one other form of ID documents, like a driver’s license, or a passport. You just fill out a form; they’ll take your picture and make your card while you wait. It takes only a few minutes. Um, okay, so, are there any questions before we start the tour

Rollins College’s graduate, Elizabeth Bonker gave a powerful speech at the school’s graduation ceremony using text-to-speech technology. “You have a voice. Use it,” she advised graduates. It seems funny that a non-speaking autistic (孤独症患者) encourages you to use your voice. However, her moving speech touched not only her fellow classmates but also the worldwide audience with a powerful message of hope.
Throughout her academic career, Elizabeth has studied hard to reach her goals at school and in life. She wrote a book, I Am in Here, which highlights the abilities of people like her with non-speaking autism. She also founded a non-profit organization called Communication 4 All.
Elizabeth has a form of autism that resulted in her losing the ability to speak when she was 15 months old. After she lost her speech her family helped her learn to communicate by typing. She has become a supporter of assistive communication and typing instruction for those with non-speaking autism.
“I have typed this speech with one finger with a communication partner holding a keyboard,” shared Elizabeth. She gave her persuasive speech through text-to-speech technology.
Elizabeth majored in social service with the purpose of helping the 31 million people in the world who have non-speaking autism. She strongly believes that service to others gives meaning to each individual and to those they serve.
Throughout her life, Elizabeth has sought a platform where others would hear and accept her. She ignored negative comments and the low expectations others had for her life. Instead, she walked down her own path and set out to realize her dreams using intellect, talent and determination. She encouraged her fellow classmates to use their education and the power of their own minds to help make their dream a reality.

Chewing uses a surprising amount of energy. An experiment that looked at the energy use associated with chewing gum (口香糖) found that it can increase bodily energy use by up to 15 per cent.
Adam van Casteren at the University of Manchester in the UK and his colleagues measured energy use in 21 people between 18 and 45 years old as they chewed gum for 15 minutes.
The gum was tasteless and calorie-free. “This way it doesn’t activate the digestive (消化的) system to the same extent as it otherwise would,” says van Casteren. “We wanted to measure just chewing or as close to chewing as we could get.
Each participant (参与者) was asked to chew two types of gum- one soft and the other tough-so they could compare the effects of the gum’s properties (性能) on the participants’ energy uses.
Energy use was measured using a plastic dome (半球形物) covering the participants’ heads. A monitor inside the dome measured oxygen intake and the amount of carbon dioxide released. “You can use this information to figure out how much energy is being used,” says van Casteren.
Before the experiment, the participants had all worn the plastic dome while they sat watching a film in order for the researchers to acquire their base level energy uses. The researchers found that chewing the soft gum raised energy use by about 10 per cent, while chewing the tougher gum increased this use by around 15 per cent. Van Casteren says it’s interesting that a small change in the properties of the gum had such a notable effect on energy use.
He says he expects the energy used to chew real food will be even larger as many foods such as steak and nuts require a lot of effort to break down. “I want to look at how much energy chewing nuts and seeds uses next,” he says.
28. Which aspect of chewing gum does Adam van Casteren study
A. The taste and calorie of gum.
B. The participants of chewing gum.
C. The softness and hardness of gum.
D. The energy use involved in chewing gum.
29. Why is the tasteless and calorie-free gum used
A. To make chewing healthy.
B. To make the study objective.
C. To save energy in chewing it.
D. To protect the digestive system.
30. What is the function of the monitor in a plastic dome
A. Researchers use it to fix the participants’ heads.
B. To measure oxygen and carbon dioxide in the gum.
C. Researchers can use it to collect information.
D. To work out the energy used during the research.
31. How does the author support his view in Paragraph 6
A. By doing a survey. B. By giving examples.
C. By citing references. D. By making a comparison.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究咀嚼口香糖的实验。这项实验研究发现，咀嚼口香糖可以增加高达 15% 的身体能量使用。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根究文章第二段“Adam van Casteren at the University of Manchester in the UK and his colleagues measured energy use in 21 people between 18 and 45 years old as they chewed gum for 15 minutes.(英国曼彻斯特大学的亚当·范·卡斯特伦和他的同事测量了 21名18 至45 岁的人在咀嚼口香糖15 分钟时的能量消耗)”可知，Adam van Casteren研究的是嚼口香糖所消耗的能量。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句““This way it doesn’t activate the digestive (消化的) system to the same extent as it otherwise would,” says van Casteren. “We wanted to measure just chewing or as close to chewing as we could get.”(“这样它就不会像其他方式那样激活消化系统，”van Casteren说。“我们想测量咀嚼或尽可能接近咀嚼。”)”可知，使用无味无卡路里口香糖是为了使研究客观。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题 。根据文章倒数第二段第一句“Before the experiment, the participants had all worn the plastic dome while they sat watching a film in order for the researchers to acquire their base level energy uses.(在实验之前，参与者在坐着看电影时都戴着塑料圆顶，以便研究人员获得他们的基本能量使用)”可知，塑料圆顶的功能是帮助研究人员收集信息。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段最后两句“ The researchers found that chewing the soft gum raised energy use by about 10 per cent, while chewing the tougher gum increased this use by around 15 per cent. (研究人员发现，咀嚼软口香糖会使能量使用量增加约10%，而咀嚼较硬的口香糖会使这种使用量增加约15%)”可知，作者在第6段通过比较来支持他的观点。故选D。

Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of J2% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams cither to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
32. What may the students start worrying about before an exam
A. Whether they can pass the exams.
B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials.
D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
33. What is the solution developed by researchers
A. Asking the students to ignore the test.
B. Asking the students to focus on the test.
C. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
D. Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
34. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ________.
A. became less nervous before the test
B. were better at controlling their feelings
C. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
D. did better than those who wrote about their feelings
35. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit
B. We can only write about our worries right before an exam.
C. The best place to write about our worries is in the test room.
D. It doesn’t matter where we write about our worries before an exam.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现考前写出担忧有助于缓解压力，从而获得良好的表现。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“The students start worrying about the results.(学生们开始担心考试结果。)”可知，考试前学生们可能会开始担心考试结果，即他们是否会通过考试。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.(贝洛克教授和另一位研究员赫拉尔多·拉米雷斯提出了一种可能的解决方案。考试前，高度焦虑的考生花十分钟写下他们对考试的担忧。)”可知，研究人员研究的解决方案是让学生在考试前写下他们的担忧。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“They told them before final exams cither to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.(他们让学生在期末考试前写下自己的感受，或者想想与考试无关的事情。贝洛克教授说，写感受的高度焦虑的学生平均成绩为B+，而没有写感受的学生平均成绩为B-。 )”可知，那些思考与测试无关的事情的人比那些写下自己感受的人表现的糟糕。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.(但是，如果学生没有机会在考试前立即写下他们的恐惧呢 贝洛克教授说，学生们可以在家里或图书馆自己尝试，仍然可以提高他们的成绩。)”可知，考试前我们在哪里把忧虑写出来并不重要。故选D项。

67. 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。
Lin Wei, a quiet and reserved high school student from a small town in Hunan province, China. Her secret passion was traditional Chinese dance. But she lacked confidence, always feeling awkward and out of place. The only person who truly understood her was Mei, her classmate and friend. Mei, with her outgoing personality, had a deep appreciation of different arts and cultures, and often spoke of how art could connect people across boundaries.
One day, Mei excitedly told Lin Wei about an opportunity: a cultural exchange program in Brazil during the Carnival season. The program was looking for students to showcase their talents and share their cultural heritage. Mei, a talented singer of traditional Chinese folk songs, was already planning to try out. “Lin Wei, you should come too!” she urged. “Your Chinese dance is beautiful! It would be a perfect way to share our culture.”
Lin Wei hesitated. The thought of performing in front of a large audience, especially in a foreign country, terrified her. She imagined herself stumbling, forgetting the steps, and being laughed at. What if they don’t understand my dance What if it’s too different These thoughts went around in her mind. But Mei didn’t give up. She helped Lin Wei choose a beautiful piece of traditional Chinese music, helped her find a flowing silk costume with wide sleeves, and even practiced with her, offering encouragement and support, focusing on expressing the emotions behind the movements. She reminded Lin Wei of how art, even without words, could tell stories and touch hearts. Slowly, Lin Wei’s worry began to give way to a flicker of excitement.
Arriving in Rio, Lin Wei was overwhelmed by Carnival’s explosion of color and energy. She felt a wave of panic. The confidence she’d built with Mei began to fall apart. The dazzling Samba dancers, their movements so fluid and powerful, made her doubt herself even more. Could my quiet, subtle movements ever find a place here She held Mei’s hand tightly, feeling small and insignificant.
Their first performance was scheduled for the next day. Lin Wei spent the evening in her hotel room, practicing her dance routine, but her heart wasn’t in it. The fear was back, stronger than ever. She looked at her reflection, seeing a scared girl, not a confident performer.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning, Lin Wei was shaking backstage as she prepared for her performance. Her fingers nervously adjusted the silk costume while doubts clouded her mind. How could her subtle Chinese dance impress an audience captivated by Brazil’s vibrant rhythms Noticing her anxiety, Mei approached. “Remember who you are,” Mei whispered encouragingly. As Lin Wei stepped onto the brightly lit stage, her heart pounding against her chest, she recalled the peaceful mountains of Hunan and her grandmother’s gentle guidance. Taking a deep breath, she began her dance, her movements initially hesitant but gradually flowing like water as the ancient melody filled the air.
Then something unexpected happened. The restless audience, which had been chatting moments before, fell completely silent. Their eyes followed her graceful gestures with growing fascination, captivated by the quiet power of her traditional art form. When she finished, thunderous applause erupted, surprising Lin Wei completely. A Brazilian dancer later approached her, admiration in her eyes. “Your performance taught me that true cultural expression doesn’t need to shout to be heard,” she said warmly. That evening, surrounded by new friends from across the globe, Lin Wei finally understood that her heritage wasn’t something to hide but her greatest strength — a unique voice in the world’s beautiful chorus of diverse traditions.
