For a long time, I kept a selection of books on a shelf next to my bed that I called my“heart books”.To qualify for a place on the shelf, a book had to be not only one I loved, but one that mattered. There was one book that never made it onto that shelf, though I read it in high school: Writing Down, the Bones by Natalie Goldberg.
I can still remember the day I bought it. It was summer and I must have been 14 or 15. Desperate to get out of my house, I rode my bike into town and walked into the bookstore. I was going through the shelf of books on writing and it caught my eye. I picked it up, read a few pages, and bought it. ThenI took it with me to a park, read the first few chapters, and opened my notebook to write.
It’ s a fairly straightforward writing book. Goldberg’ s method is simple—— you choose a topic, set a timer, and write for 10,15, or 20 minutes without picking up your pen. Free writing, timed writing, writing topics: anyone who has taken a creative writing class may have encountered these things. It's not earth-shattering. There was nothing particularly new or unusual about the book so I can't say why it attracted me so much. But it changed everything. I went from being someone who enjoyed writing to being a writer.
During my teen years and early twenties, following Goldberg's method was at the core of my identity.No matter where I was or what I was doing, I filled notebooks. When I eventually started writing fiction,Idid the same thing. The“I” in my notebooks became someone else, but I held to the same practice.
This writing practice led me to a writing group in Boston. It led me to my current career. It led me,in so many ways, to myself. Becoming a writer allowed me to become so many other things: an activist,a business owner, a farmer, a baker... Writing is where I found my confidence. It was where I became curious about the world. From that, everything else has followed.
24. How did the author encounter Writing Down the Bones
A. By following a selection of“heart books”.
B. By referring to a book list about writing.
C. By recommendation of Natalie Goldberg.
D. By seeking writing books on a bookshelf.
25. What does the word“earth-shattering” underlined in paragraph 3 mean
A. Remarkable. B. Useful. C. Controversial. D. Amusing.
26. What can we infer about Writing Down the Bones
A. It inspired the author to be a writer. B. It was the first novel the author read.
C. It made the author start to love writing. D. It is one of the books the author reads most.
27. Which of the following is answered by the last paragraph
A. What is the author's life like right now
B. What did the author do in the writing group
C. How has the writing practice shaped the author
D. Why did the author give up the writing practice

From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blind passengers this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Roma and Aedo Project—— to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers a way to feel nature's beauty through their car windows.
The prototype(原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements proxide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that usesAI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they' re seeing.
“As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo, one director of GTB Roma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and institutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”
The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It's known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous-vehiele gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It's unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advanced is indeed a kind and influential action.
28. How does the smart car window work
A. By sorting shaking movements. B. By translating scenery into vibrations.
C. By recording the view with a camera. D. By presenting different shades of colors.
29. What can we know about the technology according to Federico Russo
A. It will have wide application. B. It will be used in schools first.
C. It will be tested around the world. D. It will understand different languages.
30. What difficulty is Ford facing currently
A. How to explore their future business model.
B. How the technology is applied to everyday life.
C. How to produce autonomous cars in large numbers.
D. How an autonomous vehicle provides route information.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. AI-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips
B. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive
C. Technology Makes Blind People's Trip Enjoyable
D. Smart Window Lets Blind Passengers Feel Views

Have you ever forgotten items when trying to recall a shopping list Or dialed the wrong phone number when attempting to memorize one The brain mechanisms(机制) that cause us to draw a blank in such situations have now been identified.
Our working memory keeps small pieces of information that are readily accessible for planning,understanding and solving problems. But it will have“swap errors”. For example, if we are shown a red square and a blue circle, and are then asked what colour the circle was, we might say red.
To understand why we make such errors, Jeff Johnston at Columbia University and his colleagues recorded the brain activity of two monkeys because a monkey's working memory is very similar to humans’.
The monkeys were shown two differently coloured squares, one above the other, for half a second.After a short delay, a black spot appeared in the same location as one of the squares, and then disappeared. The animals were trained to tell the colour of the square they were supposed to be-remembering based on the spot's location, by staring at the matching colour on a rotatable(可旋转的)wheel. When doing this for about 3 hours over multiple sessions, the monkeys performed the task correctly between 60 and 82 percent of the time, but occasionally made swap errors.
The research suggests that the brain responses linked to swap errors emerged before the animals decided which colour to report. They appeared to arise during“selection” when certain items stored in working memory are enhanced at the expense of others, rather than occurring as a result of them forgetting or a failure to correctly encode(编码) items in their working memory.
“Everyone assumed there were simpler explanations like failure to encode or forgetting, but this very cool study shows that working memory errors come from a previously unknown source,” says EarlMiller at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The team is planning further experiments to gain a better understanding of mechanisms underlying swap errors.
32. What is the function of working memory
A. To identify the errors in understanding.
B. To reduce the occurrence of mind blanking.
C. To develop the way of distinguishing colours.
D. To store information at the ready for mental use.
33. What were the monkeys tasked with in the research
A. Correcting their errors over multiple sessions.
B. Playing a matching game on a rotatable wheel.
C. Reporting the colour of the square to memorize.
D. F iguring out the exact position of the black spot.
34. What does the research suggest about swap errors
A. They are unusual brain responses. B. They show a tendency for forgetfulness.
C. They have an effect on working memory. D. They are the outcome of memory selection.
35. What is Earl Miller's attitude towards the research finding
A. Appreciative. B. Unclear. C. Objective. D. Dismissive.

This exercise makes the actual experience feel more familiar, helping you stay calm.

You can mention how the experience helped you appreciate a strong company culture and ask them what they enjoy most about their workplace.
· Embrace openness. Showing genuineness in a job interview can leave a positive impression. If you stumble (结巴) on an answer, be honest and ask to start over. A simple acknowledge ment——— like saying,“I'm sorry, can I try that again I was nervous and didn't express myself the way I intended.” 40

With the production taking over two years and a team of more than 600 animators, Nobody《浪浪山小妖怪》, one of the 56 (summer) most popular movies, has raked in more than 300 million yuan within just seven days of its release.
As a spin-off based on one of the eight stand-alone short stories from the Yao—— Chinese Folktales anthology, Nobody follows the adventures of four grassroots monsters: a pig, a toad, a chimpanzee and a mink. The animated feature has also obtained strong word-of-mouth online, 57 (earn)widespread praise across major platforms. One memorable scene involving a rooster artist, for example,resonated with audiences as 58 reflection of the everyday struggles of working people.
In an interview with CCTV, the director and screenwriter Yu Shui explained his resolution 59 (make) the main characters nameless. He said Journey to the West contains a chapter 60 monsters attempt to replace Xuanzang’ s group to obtain the scriptures—— the very idea that inspired the film.

The film 62 (spark) unusual legal discussion online as well.

His 65 (conclude) was probably not—— the monsters gained nothing from the disguise, and Xuanzang was not a state official.

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。
One Saturday morning when Susan went, as usual, to Thompson's hotel, to-receive the price of her mother's washing for the guests, which amounted to five dollars, she found the hotelseeper in the yard.
He was apparently in a bad temper with some dealers with whom he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an open wallet, full of bills. Hardly noticing the child as she made her request, except to swear(骂骂咧咧) at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a bank note.
Glad to escape so easily, Susan rushed out of the gate, and then, paus ng to pin the money safely in the folds of her worn scarf, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around. Nobody was near to share her discovery, and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.“It is mine, all mine,” she murmured. “I will buy mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if it will buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom, too.”
At that moment she realized that the hotelkeeper must have given it to her by mistake, and therefore she had no right to it, as-she was always told by her mother the Golden Rule—— What belongs to you is yours, and what doesn't belong to you should not be accepted.
But again the voice of temptation whispered, “He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it Keep it; he will never know it, even if it should be a mistake; he had too many such bills in that great wallet, so it doesn't matter if missing one.” While this conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil, she was hurrying homeward as fast as possible.
注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
Yet, before she came in sight of her home, she stopped.
The hotelkeeper looked at Susan.
