At 6:00 am, I stepped out of my car into the July heat in Houston, Texas. At fifty-three, I’d train for my first half-marathon as my plan to build friendships in an unknown city!
Houston was quite a change from Southern California, where I grew up. I had bravely faced my husband’s job transfer, but without my old routines of PTA meetings and my kids’ school events, I wondered what my days would look like.
The answer arrived when Annie, a runner in the neighborhood, phoned and invited me to join USA Fit. I was hoping she would hear the disinterest in my voice, but Annie didn’t give up easily. That day her plan succeeded in winning my final yes. Then, we were divided into groups according to marathon or half- marathon, and pace. I had a group and friends!
From day one, four experienced women, Diane, Karen, Jill, and Betsy, never left my side. By fall, I came to believe I could walk the half-marathon at the required rapid pace. My confidence grew from strict preparation and our courage. But when only one week remained, panic struck. Deep insecurity surfaced—was I truly up to the challenge Yet together, we encouraged each other and persevered(坚持).
My goal had simply been to finish the half-marathon. At some crazy point, I decided to complete the race in less than three hours. The last mile was nearly intolerable. Our pace had been much quicker than during training. Luckily, the final stretch was bursting with enthusiasm from the crowded sidewalks.
Six months of preparation finished with one step over a thin black line. Passionate volunteers placed medals around our necks. I felt the shiny ribbon with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. At that moment, I realized I had become part of my new community.
24. Why did the author move to Houston
A. Her husband got a new job there. B. She wanted to join her friends.
C. Her children were transferred there. D. She moved there for retirement.
25. What was the author’s first reaction when Annie called
A. Grateful. B. Upset. C. Thrilled. D. Uninterested.
26. What caused the author’s panic one week before the race
A. Her slim chance of winning a prize. B. The demanding training schedule.
C. Her self-doubt about finishing the race. D. The fear of disappointing her friends.
27. What do we know about the author from the last paragraph
A. She generously helped other runners.
B. She felt a sense of belonging in running.
C. She formed friendship with the volunteers.
D. She beat other runners by running one step faster.
C
Research into whether the human voice helps plants isn’t conclusive. Even so, there are convincing reasons that chatting with your houseplants is good for them—and you.
In a 2022 survey by , 50 percent of the 1250 respondents reported talking to their plants. When asked why, 65 percent said they believe it helps them grow. The research, however, isn’t definite about this point. While studies have found that vibrations(震动) caused by sound do affect plants, the jury is still out on whether the human voice offers any specific benefit.
For many plant owners, though, the science is beside the point. Marquis Matson, co-founder of the blog the Indoor nursery, says she talks to her plants every day because “it feels nice and I think plants get a sense of community from my talking to them and that keeps them going”. On the plant side, a study in a 2003 issue of the journal Ultrasonics investigated the effects of the classical music and the sounds of birds, insects and water on the growth of Chinese cabbage and cucumber. Both forms of sound exposure increased the vegetables’ growth. In a 2015 study, researchers exposed marigold (金盏花) and chickpea (鹰嘴豆) plants to light Indian music as well as to traffic noise. They found that both types of plants grew and developed better after being exposed to the music for four hours per day, but not to the traffic sounds.” Plants definitely respond to vibrations in their environment—which can cause plants to grow differently and become more resistant to falling over,” says Heidi Appel, leader of the study. She points out, “While sound absolutely matters to plants, we don’t know if talking to them makes them grow differently.”
Despite the lack of studies and evidence about the benefits of talking to your plants, there is at least one theoretical bonus. “If we identify with a living organism that we’re taking care of, we’re going to take better care of it and help them thrive,” Appel says.
28. What do the underlined words “the jury is still out” in paragraph 2 mean
A. There is still uncertainty. B. People share the same idea.
C. The jury is playing outside. D. The jury has made a decision.
29. What do Marquis Matson’s words suggest
A. Vibrations caused by sound affect plants.
B. Chatting with the plants benefits both sides.
C. Scientific research in this area makes no sense.
D. A sense of community is a must for plants’ growth.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Traffic sounds do harm to plant growth.
B. Talking to plants makes them more sensitive.
C. Classical music is beneficial to plant growth.
D. Plants will fall over because of the vibrations.
31. What is Appel’s attitude towards the study
A. Neutral. B. Approving. C. Unfavorable. D. Unclear.
D
In the 1970s, psychologist J. P. Guilford conducted a famous study of creativity known as the nine-dot puzzle(九点谜题). He challenged research subjects to connect all nine dots using just four straight lines without lifting their pencils from the page. All participants limited solutions to those within the imaginary square. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the confinement (束缚) and continue their lines in the white space surrounding the dots.
The fact that 80 percent of the participants were effectively blinded by the boundaries of the square led Guilford to jump to the conclusion that creativity requires you to go outside the box. The idea went viral. Overnight, creativity experts everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box. The concept was so popular that nobody bothered to check the facts. Nobody, that is, before two different research teams—Clarke Burnham with Kennedy Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg—ran another experiment.
Both teams divided their participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told that the solution required the lines to be drawn outside the imaginary box. Guess what Only 25 percent solved the puzzle. In statistical terms, this 5 percent improvement is insignificant as this could be called sampling error.
Let’s look a little more closely at the unexpected result. Solving this problem requires people to literally think outside the box. Yet participants’ performance was not improved even when they were given specific instructions to do so. That is, direct and clear instructions to think outside the box did not help. That this advice is useless should effectively have killed off the widely spread—and therefore, much more dangerous—metaphor that out-of-the-box thinking boosts creativity. After all, with one simple yet brilliant experiment, researchers had proven that the conceptual link between thinking outside the box and creativity was a misunderstanding.
32. What did the nine-dot puzzle study focus on
A. Body flexibility. B. Practical experience.
C. Thinking patterns. D. Theoretical knowledge.
33. Why did the two research teams run the follow-up experiment
A. To contradict the initial idea. B. To test the catchy concept.
C. To collect supporting evidence. D. To identify the underlying logic.
34. Which of the following best describes the follow-up experiment
A. Impractical. B. Revealing. C. Fruitless. D. Inspiring.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Nine-Dot Puzzle: A Magic Test
B. Puzzle Solving: A Key To Creativity
C. Creative Thinking: We Fell For The Trap
D. Thinking Outside The Box: A Misguided idea

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。
One of the best ways to immerse yourself in art as an art lover is to begin by browsing an art gallery. However, whether it is a lack of information on the walls, the overwhelming size of the collections, or the fear that you somehow aren’t “getting” what you are looking at, an art gallery can be potentially less friendly. 36
Selecting an Art Gallery Show
Selecting an exhibition could be as simple as looking in your own neighborhood or getting to know the arts districts you are planning to visit. 37 Once you find some galleries to visit, check out their websites for different shows and exhibitions. Choose a show or two that interests you or that matches what you’re looking for in terms of a collection.
Do Some Pre-visit Research
38 It is always a good idea to read the exhibition description carefully to understand the scope(范围) and scale of the show. You can also do some research about the show itself to equip yourself with more context.
Take a Quick First Look
Arriving at the gallery, you will want a viewing strategy. Instinctively(本能地), many people move through an exhibition, reading everything in the order presented. However, walking the entire gallery space quickly will give you an overall sense of the exhibition or show. 39
Have a More Focused Walk Through
Do “once around” more time to close in more on the artworks that spark your interest most. This step is perhaps the most satisfying part of any gallery visit. It is a chance to really take in what first appeals to you. 40 You can look and appreciate the colors and form, or read the descriptions and lean into the context of the artwork. What matters is that you find it interesting, eager to learn more about it.
A. You can find galleries on Google, too.
B. How you do this is entirely up to you.
C. Its point is to excite your interest in what is being presented.
D. Thorough research enables you to better understand artists and works.
E. checking their websites regularly keeps you informed about their collections.
F. Another recommendation would be to sign up for the gallery’s email newsletter.
G. Therefore, learning how to explore an art gallery is a valuable skill for newcomers.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Are you guilty of overusing the monkey covering its eyes emoji Do you find 56 impossible to send a text without adding a laughing-crying face Actually, emojis 57 (become) your own form of language during the past few years.
But beyond adding subtext, your go-to emojis might reveal more about you 58 you realize. According to a new study published in Current Psychology by researchers at Oklahoma State University, your emoji habits could offer 59 (surprise) insight into your underlying personality characteristics.
The study surveyed 285 undergraduates about their use of 40 different emojis and those participants completed questionnaires 60 (design) to assess their personality characteristics.
The results showed among men, frequent emoji use 61 (associate) with Machiavellian(权谋的) features and that heavy emoji use among female participants was linked to narcissistic(自恋的) 62 (tendency). The researchers considered this connection could be due to emojis 63 (use) for self-promotion and image management.
So the next time you're about to send 64 string of fire emojis, just be sure you're not 65 (accidental) revealing yourself as a Machiavellian narcissist in the process.

Karie double- checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’ First- Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand new dictionary. Plus, Ms. McCormack had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait She’d spelled honesty, not honestly. She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
Ms. McCormack graded the test papers at the break. Meanwhile, Karie sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. As if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. McCormack’s feet flipped into the air.
“Congratulations, Karie You did it” she announced while upside down.
The whole class burst into applause Ms. McCormack righted herself and presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled as she read the label on the box.
To Karie Carter, for her perfect first quarter score in spelling.
“Everything OK ” Mum asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. Karie didn’t answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother. Mum hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.
Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in the mid air. She just couldn’t believe her own eyes. Honesty
Yes! H-O-N-E-S-T-Y!
Mum sensed something unusual and asked why. Karie stuffed the test paper into her backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mum brought her some tea. Yes, a “t” was exactly what she needed.
After drinking a little, Karie plodded down the hall, lost in thought. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all That Ms. McCormack did the handstand for nothing

Dear Tom,
I was worried to hear you couldn’t participate in the sports meet because of the flu. I know how much you look forward to it, and we all miss your energy and enthusiasm.
Remember, health always comes first: take good care of yourself while you recover. Drink warm water, get plenty of rest, and stay positive. To stay healthy in the long run, try small habits like a 10-minute walk every day or swapping sugary drinks for fresh juice or fruit. Our PE teacher often says, “Stay consistent, and you’ll see the difference.”
Once you’re better, let’s go jogging together after school. Wishing you a quick recovery!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Later Dad came in with excitement. “Karie, Mum told me that you won the spelling prize! I’m so proud of you!” To his surprise, Karie didn’t seem to be glad as expected. She even didn’t dare to look him in the eye. Sensing something unusual, Dad stroked her hair tenderly, “What’s wrong, baby ” On hearing that, Karie lowered her head, sobbing, “Dad, I carelessly missed a “t” in “honestly”. I don’t deserve the prize.” After a short silence, Dad patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, “Karie, it’s not about winning or losing. It’s about doing your best and being honest. I’m proud of you no matter what” Karie felt a sense of relief, knowing what she should do next.
The next morning, Karie went to school earlier than usual. When she arrived, she saw Ms. McCormack preparing for the day’s lessons. Karie took a deep breath and approached her teacher. She apologized for her mistake and offered to return the prize. Ms. McCormack smiled and said, “Karie, You can still get the prize, not for the ‘honesly’ you spelt but for your honesty. That’s more valuable than any prize.” In a flash joy welled up inside Karie. She thanked Ms. McCormack and went to her seat, feeling proud and grateful. She realized that one can spell “honestly” wrong in the test, but can’t in life.

W: Yes. And I think building a museum on the basis of the Luojiaba site is very important.

M: Good morning, everyone. Now I will tell you about the annual lecture of our college. This year’s lecture will focus on climate change and education. Our first guest, Keith Shine, a professor of meteorology and climate science, will give a lecture on climate change. It’ll be from 3:30 pm to 4:10 pm. His talk will review our current understanding of climate change—what we know and what we are not yet certain about. You can know how climate change occurs, its impacts and how society responds to it through his lecture. Our second guest, Dr. Jo Anna Reed Johnson, is one of the Directors for Climate and Sustainable Education at our college. She will follow up Professor Shine’s talk about the role of education in understanding climate change. It’ll begin at 4:15 pm and end at 4:50 pm.
