M: Hello, Jamia. We must choose our career now.
W: You are quite right.

M: Of course.I want to be an agriculture researcher.
W: Most students like to be doctors, engineers or administrators. Why don’t you
M: Our country is an agricultural country. Our economy depends on agriculture. So I will get myself admitted into an agricultural university. I will do research on agriculture.
W: I appreciate your plan. But we must work hard to fulfill our plans.
M: Of course. We must do well in the H.S.C Examination, otherwise we will not be able to become a doctor or an agriculture researcher. Thank you, Jamia. It is really nice speaking to you.
W: You’re welcome. Goodbye. See you again.
M: Bye.

M: Hello, everyone. We are lucky to have Molly Taylor here today. Molly is organizing an activity course for the summer holidays. Molly, this is the second year of the course, isn’t it
W: Yes. The summer course operated for the first time last year for a six-week period. We did think about making it longer this year and have a seven-week course, as there are some schools which finish the term a week earlier. In fact, two schools have eight-week holidays. But in the end we decided to keep to the same plan as last year.
M: But, from what I have been told, last year’s course wasn’t a complete success, was it
W: Well, we were actually very surprised by the number of children interested in the course. We didn’t actually have enough assistants to look after all the children. Besides, there was such a lot of rain that we couldn’t go outside as often as we wanted to.
M: So, what activities can the children look forward to this year
W: Well, once again there will be artists and musicians who will lead creative classes. We also considered providing some more exciting adventure sports. But we decided not to, in the end. Instead we’ll introduce some fun programmes. I think it’ll be great fun for the children.
Text 10
M: A guide named Persephone welcomes travellers to Greece and takes them through a famous cave. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33 languages. Persephone is very intelligent. It’s a human-sized robot. It can give its part of the tour in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language.
Persephone guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Kartalis is considering ways to increase its speed.
Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who partners with Persephone. “It’s helpful, because it speaks many languages,” she said. “There’s just a little delay in the touring,” she added. “Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages.” Karafera noted, however, that human tour guides must remain part of the operation. “Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs,” she said. “But I believe they cannot replace humans everywhere.”
第二部分
第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要从购物点、就餐点、租借服务三方面介绍了Pacific Science Centre,并展示了Pacific Science Centre为人们做的贡献,呼吁人们的支持。
21.B　细节理解题。根据第一段“The store is located upstairs in Building 3 right next to the Laser Dome.”可知,Pacific Science Centre的购物点在Laser Dome旁边的3号楼的楼上。故选B。
22.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段“Today, Pacific Science Centre serves more than 1.3 million people a year and brings inquiry-based science education to classrooms and community events all over Washington State.”可知,现在Pacific Science Centre一年向130多万人提供服务,并把科学教育带到华盛顿州的课堂。故选D。
23.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段标题“Support Pacific Science Centre”和信息句“Visit pacificsciencecentre.org to find various ways you can support Pacific Science Centre.”可知,作者呼吁读者支持Pacific Science Centre,也就是鼓励人们为之捐赠。故选A。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。本文通过叙述Juleus Ghunta的成长经历,特别是他从几乎无法阅读到成为儿童书籍作者和获奖诗人的转变过程,展现了个人奋斗和他人帮助对他人生路径的深刻影响。
24.A　推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home.”可知,Ghunta的母亲经常不得不就如何利用有限的资源做出艰难的选择。因此,Ghunta的家庭生活贫困。故选A。
25.C　推理判断题。由文章第二段“When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words, spell, or read with understanding.”和第四段中的“Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident.”可知,在遇到那位年轻教师之前,Ghunta的阅读能力很差,到六年级时仍不能读懂单词,遇到那位年轻教师后,他的阅读能力开始提高,他开始变得更自信,由此可以推断在遇到那位年轻教师前他的自信心是不足的。因此,最能描述他的词是unconfident“不自信的”。故选C。
26.B　推理判断题。由文章第四段中的“‘She had left me with the gift of literacy,’ he said, ‘and with the value as a human being.’ His life took a new direction.”及最后一段“I would love her to see the significant impact that she has made on my life, and the ways in which I have carried this memory of her—the hope and the light—with me and how it continues to be a source of joy.”可知,这位老师对Ghunta的影响超出了识字本身,她帮助他获得了自我价值感和希望。故选B。
27.D　主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其由文章第四段中的“Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. ‘She had left me with the gift of literacy,’ he said, ‘and with the value as a human being.’ His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for ‘most improved in reading’. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.”可知,文章讲述了Ghunta小时候存在阅读困难,在一位年轻教师的帮助下,他不仅提高了阅读能力,还重拾了自信,最终成了一名儿童书籍作者和获奖诗人的故事。这表明他的生活因遇见那位教师而步入新的方向。因此,最合适的标题是“Life led in a new direction”(生活步入新方向)。故选D。
C
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。许多人可能会认为说谎是一种道德选择。但在哲学著作《谎言的历史》中,Juan Jacinto Mu oz-Rengel提出谎言是“非道德的”。文章对这本书进行了介绍,并对其中的论点进行了评价。
28.D　推理判断题。根据第二段“First, he asks us to take into account how we represent reality to ourselves, and how we see it in relation to the self. This requires us to employ awareness of not just the world but also the concepts to describe it to ourselves and others. Moreover, ‘the reality’ we believe we see and know might be an illusion (错觉).”(首先,他要求我们考虑我们如何向自己呈现现实,以及我们如何看待现实与自我的联系。这要求我们不仅要运用对世界的意识,还要运用对自己和他人描述世界的概念。此外,我们以为的我们看到和知道的“现实”可能是一种错觉。)可知,Mu oz-Rengel的第一个说服步骤表明了我们倾向于以主观的方式看待现实。故选D。
29.B　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“From here Mu oz-Rengel takes a third step towards what he calls ‘evolutionary epistemology’ (进化认识论), which shows everything we claim to know should be evaluated through an evolutionary angle.”(从这里Mu oz-Rengel向他所谓的“进化认识论”迈出了第三步,这表明我们声称知道的一切都应该从进化的角度来评估。)可知,第四段中Mu oz-Rengel给出的例子是为了阐明一个概念。故选B。
30.B　词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句中的“…to stay safe from natural enemies or hunt for food, some animals evolve into being capable of mixing with the surroundings…”(……为了躲避天敌或寻找食物,一些动物进化成能够与周围环境融为一体……)可知,此处是指欺骗其他动物,所以delude意为“欺骗”。故选B。
31.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句和第二句“The arguments in this book are strongly made, but more than a few of Mu oz-Rengel’s viewpoints need far more evidence as support. But anyhow, in separating the discussion from conventional morality-based studies of lying, he has produced a lively and distinctive work.”(这本书中的论点是强有力的,但Mu oz-Rengel的许多观点需要更多的证据作为支持。但无论如何,在将讨论与传统的基于道德的谎言研究区分开来的过程中,他创作了一部生动而独特的作品。)可知,作者认为这本书中的论点缺乏基础但是新颖。故选C。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。 文章主要介绍了“选择悖论”这一现象,即过多的选择会让消费者感到困惑和不满,从而降低消费者的满意度。文章还介绍了“最大化者”和“满足者”的区别,以及心理学和行为经济学在解决这一问题中的作用。
32.A　推理判断题。根据第一段的“Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options.”以及“You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.”可知,你在买牛奶时牛奶品类众多,以至于你很难做出决策。其是下文“选择悖论”这一现象的一个案例。由此可推知,文章第一段提到买牛奶就是为了引出文章的话题。故选A。
33.A　推理判断题。根据第二段的“While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.”可知,选择太多了,我们实际上需要付出更多的努力才能做出决定,这会让我们对自己的选择感到不满意。由此可推知,更多的选择意味着更低的满意度。故选A。
34.B　推理判断题。根据第四段的“Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with.”(与满足者不同,最大化者关心的是做出最好的选择,而不是简单地做出他们满意的选择。)可推知,满足者跟随自己的感觉,不纠结于必须做出“最好的”决定。故选B。
35.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioural economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.”(施瓦茨不认为选择的自由是无限的,而是主张心理学和行为经济学的作用应该是找到对自由的限制,从而在社会中获得最大程度的幸福。)可知,施瓦茨建议人们限制自己的选择。故选D。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文体裁为说明文。文章通过日常生活中的例子解释了疼痛的感觉机制、疼痛对人类生存的重要作用及其有时与实际伤害无关的现象,旨在向读者普及关于疼痛的生物学知识及其对身体健康的意义。
36.F　由上文“Picture this: you’re baking cookies. As you lift the pan out of the oven, your bare arm accidentally touches it. Ouch! Why do you feel pain And how is your brain involved in sensing pain We may not like pain, but our bodies need it as a warning system.”可知,接下来的句子应进一步阐述疼痛作为一种警告系统的功能。选项F (这是大脑的一项重要功能,它告诉我们的身体何时出了问题。)承接了上文的“警告系统”,符合题意。故选F。
37.E　由上文“There are special receptor cells in our skin and bodies that are sensitive to certain stimuli (刺激). These cells are called ‘nociceptors’. When a nociceptor gets exposed to a painful stimulus, it sends a message into the brain. The brain processes that information, and then pain is felt.”可知,上文描述了疼痛信号从受体细胞发送到大脑并被感知的过程,下文紧接着应该继续讨论这一过程。选项E(所有这些信号发送和处理的速度都快于我们的感知速度。)延续上文内容并解释了为什么痛感似乎是即时发生的,符合题意。故选E。
38.D　由下文“If we have an injury, pain alerts us to rest and let the injury heal. If we stand too close to a fire, pain tells us to move away. Not being able to feel pain can be dangerous. Without feeling pain, they cannot listen to their bodies when they need to rest or heal.”可知,本空之后的内容讲述的是疼痛的实际作用,比如提醒我们休息和避免伤害。因此,这里需要一个过渡句来引出疼痛的正面意义。选项D(尽管疼痛是一种不愉快的感觉,但它对人类生存是必要的。)既承认了疼痛的负面特性,又提到了其必要性,能引起下文,符合题意。故选D。
39.G　由上文“On the other hand, the brain sometimes processes pain where there isn’t any actual injury to the body. Here’s a famous story: a man stepped on a nail. It went through the bottom of his shoe, and he felt like he was in horrible pain. When the doctors removed his shoe, they found that the nail was between his toes! It hadn’t gone into his foot at all.”可知,上文用一个故事的例子说明了即使没有实际受伤,大脑也可能感知到疼痛。因此,需要一个选项来解释这种现象。选项G (然而,视觉信息欺骗了他的大脑,使其认为有理由警觉。)很好地解释了为何在没有实际伤害的情况下,这个人仍然感到疼痛,能承接上文,符合题意。故选G。
40.A　由上文“Without pain, we might not know when we could need to rest. We might not know if we were in danger of hurting ourselves.”和下文“However, it is an important part of human life and survival!”可知,此处需要重申疼痛虽不愉快,但对于人类生存很重要。选项A(感受疼痛并不有趣。)自然而然地引向了全文的结论,即疼痛作为一种必要的警告机制虽不好受,但对于生存有重要价值,A项能承接上文,并与下文构成转折关系,符合题意。故选A。
第三部分
第一节
【文章大意】 本文体裁为记叙文。作者生动地描述了前往哥伦比亚佩尔迪达城的探险经历,包括旅途的艰辛、自然景观、遇到的原住民以及个人的感受与收获。
41.D　根据上文“There are no trains or buses allowing of…”可知,没有能到那里的火车和公共汽车,由此可知到达那里并不容易。故选D。long长的;endless无尽的;frequent频繁的;easy容易的。
42.B　根据下文的“…on foot: a tiring multi-day hike.”可知,这里指到达失落之城只能通过步行。故选B。impressive令人印象深刻的;accessible可到达的;worthwhile值得的;dangerous危险的。

45.D　根据上文的path和下文的“…through towering palms (高耸的棕榈树) and dangling vines (悬挂的藤蔓)…”可知,此处描述的是小路穿过树林的场景,用“蜿蜒”最符合语境。故选D。bury埋葬;spread传播;spin旋转;wind蜿蜒。
46.C　根据上文的“The dirt path, which…through towering palms (高耸的棕榈树) and dangling vines (悬挂的藤蔓)…”可知,这条路穿过树林,由此推知这条路是具有挑战性的。故选C。disappointing令人失望的;embarrassing令人尴尬的;challenging具有挑战性的;amazing令人惊异的。
47.A　根据下文的“They have been left undisturbed for centuries…”可知,几个世纪以来,他们一直没有受到干扰,由此可知他们是当地的原住民。故选A。native原住民;visitor游客;guide导游;driver司机。

59.opposition　考查名词。分析句子可知,despite为介词,后接名词作宾语,此处opposition意为“反对”,为不可数名词。故填opposition。
60.Initially　考查副词。分析句子可知,空格处应用副词,作状语,用来修饰整个句子,句首单词首字母大写。故填Initially。
61.What　考查主语从句。分析句子可知,空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少主语,指事物,没有选择范围,故应用what引导从句,句首单词首字母大写。故填What。
62.where　考查定语从句。分析句子可知,句子为限制性定语从句,先行词为Langwosha,在从句中作地点状语,故应用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。

64.was equipped　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。根据句中this time和enabled可知,句子陈述的是过去发生的事,且he和equip为被动关系,故句子应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为he。故填was equipped。

第四部分
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Mr Hank,
Hope this e-mail finds you well. I’d like to express my gratitude for your intention to guide us in appreciating classic English literary works. As to the reading materials, I recommend original novels over adapted versions.
While adapted versions may seem more accessible and easier to comprehend, I believe that engaging with the original works provides us with a more authentic and immersive experience. Moreover, exposure to the author’s unique writing style, language usage, and cultural context allows us to go deeper into the themes, characters, and messages conveyed, thereby promoting our critical thinking and analytical skills.
I’d appreciate your consideration of my suggestion and look forward to exploring captivating literary works in our upcoming classes.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Jenny在求职过程中连续三次被拒绝,感到自我怀疑和绝望。她的父亲James为了帮助她认识到自己的价值,让她将一辆看似破旧的车带到不同的场所估价。首先在二手车市场,车被估价为一千美元,然后在当铺,估价为一万美元,Jenny觉得这个价格很棒,但James鼓励她去汽车俱乐部看看这辆车的估价,然后神奇的事情发生了。汽车俱乐部出价10万美元,Jenny对此感到震惊,她将此事告诉父亲后,父亲教导她她的价值取决于她所在的环境,在父亲的教导下,她明白了自己该怎么做。
【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那里的人愿意出10万美元买同样的车。”可知,第一段可描写Jenny对此感到震惊和困惑,以及她回去和父亲讲述这件事。
②由第二段首句内容“James带着满意的微笑说:‘他们认定那是一辆昂贵的车。’”可知,第二段可描写父亲教导Jenny,像这辆车一样,她的价值取决于她所在的环境,以及Jenny从这件事中得到感悟,明白自己该怎么做。
2. 续写线索:Jenny感到震惊和困惑—Jenny告诉James情况—James回答—James开导Jenny—Jenny的感悟
One possible version:
People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car. Shocked (形容词作状语), Jenny couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her (宾语从句). Ideas and questions came to mind, so she asked herself, “How could the prices be so different at different places Are these guys out of mind to buy such a worn-out car ” Without any clues, she dashed back to her father and couldn’t wait to make out the truth (can’t wait to do sth:迫不及待做某事). So she told James what had happened in the car club (宾语从句).
Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.” In fact, never had people (倒装句)in the used car lot and the pawnshop recognized the value under the broken cover. Patting gently on Jenny’s shoulder (现在分词短语作状语), James said, “I want you to know that you are not worth anything if you are not in a right place. Don’t stay where your value goes unnoticed.” With moved tears in her eyes(with复合结构), Jenny understood she should know her worth and surround herself with those who could recognize it (定语从句) and that the true value would shine only when she was in the right environment. She knew clearly what to do next.阶段素养测评卷(一)

Juleus Ghunta is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could barely read. Ghunta’s family lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. His mother often had to make tough choices about how to use their limited resources, including a decision to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Ghunta at home.
When Ghunta finally went to school, he couldn’t catch up on his reading skills. Not only had he been kept home from school as a child, but he had not been exposed to books. By the time he entered the sixth grade, he could spell his name, but he still couldn’t make out words, spell, or read with understanding.
When Ghunta was about 12, a young teacher decided to start a special reading programme for struggling students. Ghunta was the first student to sign up. The teacher was incredibly kind to him. She did not ask anything of Ghunta, except that he worked hard and believed in himself.
Under her guidance, Ghunta’s reading skills finally started to improve. He started to feel more confident. “She had left me with the gift of literacy,” he said, “and with the value as a human being.” His life took a new direction. He graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards, including one for “most improved in reading”. He went on to college. Today, he is the author of two children’s books, about overcoming difficult experiences in childhood. He’s now working on his first full-length collection of poetry.

Many of us would probably say that lying is a matter of moral choice. But in his philosophy book A History of Lying, Juan Jacinto Mu oz-Rengel takes us in a different direction, which he calls “non-moral”.
He takes several persuasive steps to redirect us. First, he asks us to take into account how we represent reality to ourselves, and how we see it in relation to the self. This requires us to employ awareness of not just the world but also the concepts to describe it to ourselves and others. Moreover, “the reality” we believe we see and know might be an illusion (错觉). So how do we even know when we’re telling the truth, and when we’re lying about it
His second step is to say that our sense of personal identity should be treated with doubt, since we’re frequently wrong about our own experiences. If continuing personal identity might be an illusion, then the reality we see might be an illusion as well. But we choose to take part like actors in this illusion.
From here Mu oz-Rengel takes a third step towards what he calls “evolutionary epistemology” (进化认识论), which shows everything we claim to know should be evaluated through an evolutionary angle. For instance, to stay safe from natural enemies or hunt for food, some animals evolve into being capable of mixing with the surroundings to delude others. The thing is, the species continues through natural selection processes. Equally, we grow myths to explain the natural world and our place in it…As individuals and as societies, various forms of lies are built into our DNA.
The arguments in this book are strongly made, but more than a few of Mu oz-Rengel’s viewpoints need far more evidence as support. But anyhow, in separating the discussion from conventional morality-based studies of lying, he has produced a lively and distinctive work. But still, there is one thing to remember—we perhaps will be liars, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t ask ourselves when it is acceptable to lie and when it isn’t.
(　)28.What can be implied about Mu oz-Rengel’s first persuasive step 　
A.We can hardly control what we do in real life.
B.We are able to tell illusions from reality.
C.We choose to lie or not in different cases.
D.We tend to see reality in a subjective way.
(　)29.Why does Mu oz-Rengel give the examples in Paragraph 4
A.To make a comparison.　　　B.To clarify a concept.
C.To raise a problem. D.To change a topic.
(　)30.What does the underlined word “delude” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Surprise. B.Trick.
C.Amuse. D.Protect.
(　)31.How does the author find the arguments in this book
A.One-sided but convincing.
B.Conventional but impressive.
C.Poorly-based but novel.
D.Serious but understandable.

Imagine you need milk, so you go to the grocery store to pick some up, only to find there are dozens of options. These days, you have to make a decision on not only the percentage of fat you want, but also what source you want your milk to be coming from: cows, soybeans…You have no idea what milk to pick. There are so many choices that you are confused.
This phenomenon is known as the paradox (悖论) of choice and it is becoming a concern in the modern world, where more and more options are becoming easily available to us. While we might believe that being presented with multiple options actually makes it easier to choose one that we are happy with, and thus increases consumer satisfaction, having too many options actually requires more effort to make a decision and can leave us feeling unsatisfied with our choice.
The idea was popularized by American psychologist Barry Schwartz when he published his book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. Schwartz, who has long studied the ways in which economics and psychology intersect (交叉), became interested in seeing the way that choices were affecting the happiness of citizens in Western societies. He identified that the range of choices that we have available to us these days is far greater than that people had in the past; however, consumer satisfaction has not increased as much as traditional economics theories might expect.
Schwartz identified that the paradox of choice carries the most consequence for people that are maximizers. Maximizers, unlike satisficers, are concerned with making the best choice instead of simply making a choice that they are happy with. When there are many options available to maximizers, it becomes harder for them to determine which is the best, which can cause them to feel a great deal of regret after they have made a choice.
Instead of believing that freedom of choice is unlimited, Schwartz advocates that the role of psychology and behavioural economics should be to find the kind of limitations on freedom that can lead to the greatest level of happiness within society.
(　)32.What’s the author’s purpose in mentioning buying milk in Paragraph 1
A.To introduce the topic.
B.To draw a conclusion.
C.To show that we have more choices when shopping.
D.To indicate that people pay greater attention to health when shopping.　
(　)33.What does the paradox of choice suggest
A.More options mean less satisfaction.
B.Consumer satisfaction has greatly increased.
C.People are happy with more choices.
D.Modern people are happier than their ancestors.
(　)34.What can be learned about satisficers
A.They aim for the very best.
B.They tend to follow their feelings.
C.They often regret their decisions.
D.They have trouble making a decision.
(　)35.What does Schwartz suggest people do
A.Hold on to their beliefs.
B.Accept their own behaviour.
C.Give up freedom.
D.Limit their own choices.

Picture this: you’re baking cookies. As you lift the pan out of the oven, your bare arm accidentally touches it. Ouch! Why do you feel pain And how is your brain involved in sensing pain We may not like pain, but our bodies need it as a warning system. 36.　　　
There are special receptor cells in our skin and bodies that are sensitive to certain stimuli (刺激). These cells are called “nociceptors”. When a nociceptor gets exposed to a painful stimulus, it sends a message into the brain. The brain processes that information, and then pain is felt. 37.　　　　 Think about a time when you’ve stubbed your toe. There doesn’t seem to be a delay between hitting your toe and then feeling pain: it feels like it happens at the same time.
38.　　　　 If we have an injury, pain alerts us to rest and let the injury heal. If we stand too close to a fire, pain tells us to move away. Not being able to feel pain can be dangerous. Without feeling pain, they cannot listen to their bodies when they need to rest or heal.
On the other hand, the brain sometimes processes pain where there isn’t any actual injury to the body. Here’s a famous story: a man stepped on a nail. It went through the bottom of his shoe, and he felt like he was in horrible pain. When the doctors removed his shoe, they found that the nail was between his toes! It hadn’t gone into his foot at all. 39.　　　　 So his brain perceived pain to match the experience.
Without pain, we might not know when we could need to rest. We might not know if we were in danger of hurting ourselves. 40.　　　　 However, it is an important part of human life and survival!
A.Pain is not fun to feel.
B.Pain is a response to a stimulus.
C.Our brains use sensory information to interpret the pain that we feel.
D.Even though pain is an unpleasant feeling, it is necessary for human survival.
E.All of this signal sending and processing happens faster than we can perceive.
F.It is an important function of our brain, telling our bodies when something is wrong.
G.However, the visual information tricked his brain into thinking that there was cause for alarm.

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。
“Dear Jenny, I am really sorry to tell you that you didn’t get the position this time. The interviewers had a discussion about you. You have a very good experience, but you are not qualified for this position. The journalist we want is to communicate with people from all walks of life, so you should be more sociable and more energetic. So, sorry.” Actually, such was not quite new to Jenny and this was the third time that she had been rejected for a job position after her graduation from university as a top student.
Overwhelmed (淹没) with sadness, she lifted her hands to cover her face. Her heart was broken with self-doubt whether she was never good enough to fit in with the highly competitive adult world. It seemed that the excellence she displayed at school was nothing but illusion. “Maybe I should quit applying for that demanding job,” Jenny whispered to herself.
Sensing something wrong, Jenny’s father, James, said to his daughter, “Congratulations on your graduation, and time to enjoy your youth. In celebration of your new life, I’d like to give you something special. Here is a car that I acquired many years ago. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it and see how much they offer you.”
Unwilling as Jenny was, she went to the used car lot and they offered her only one thousand dollars because the car looked very worn out. With that offer, she returned back to her father and out of her expectation, this time her father told her to take this car to a pawnshop (当铺). Confused, Jenny went to the pawnshop where they should have offered her ten thousand dollars as her father’s car looked a little bit old to them. “Maybe it is a perfect deal!” thought Jenny. But then, the father advised his daughter to keep trying and go to a car club and show them the car. The daughter took the car to the club, and then, breathtakingly, something magic happened.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car.


Paragraph 2:
Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.”
